MARCH 31, 2000 NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporation (the company) and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Bank of Kentucky (the Bank). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. NOTE 2 - GENERAL: These financial statements were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all of the disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the annual financial statements and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position at the end of and for the periods presented. NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE: Earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the quarter, which were 5,291,082 and 5,276,468 for 2000 and 1999. Diluted earnings per share are computed assuming that average stock options outstanding are exercised and the proceeds, including the relevant tax benefit, are used entirely to reacquire shares at the average price for the period. For 2000 and 1999, this would result in there being an additional 45,927 and 36,554 shares outstanding, respectively. NOTE 4 - PENDING ACQUISITION On December 21, 1999, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") with Fort Thomas Financial Corporation ("FTFC") and its subsidiary, Fort Thomas Savings Bank, FSB, ("FSB"). The Agreement provides for the merger of FTFC with and into the Company and the immediately subsequent merger of FSB with and into the Bank. The Agreement provides for each of the outstanding shares of FTFC to be exchanged for .5645 share of the Company. At December 31, 1999, FTFC had total assets of $99,678, total loans of $88,345, total deposits of $67,324 and total equity of $13,966. The merger is expected to be accounted for as a pooling of interests. Consummation of the merger is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, the approval of the appropriate regulatory agencies and the approval of the requisite number of shareholders of FTFC and FSB. A special shareholders meeting of FTFC shareholders has been set for May 23, 2000. The Agreement may be terminated by the Board of Directors of either party in the event that certain representations or warranties made by the parties in the Agreement are not true in any material respect or in the event certain conditions contained in the Agreement are not fulfilled, including the failure of the merger to be consummated on or before September 30, 2000. 8 THE BANK OF KENTUCKY FINANCIAL CORPORATION Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and the Results of Operations March 31, 2000 FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets at March 31,2000 were $342,778,000 compared to $322,410,000 at December 31, 1999, an increase of $20,368,000 (6.32%). The increase was fueled by an increase in total loans outstanding of $18,150,000 (7.45%), from $243,700,000 at December 31, 1999 to $261,850,000 at March 31, 2000. The increase was funded by increases in deposits and short-term borrowings. Deposits increased $9,187,000 (3.37%) to $281,905,000 at March 31, 2000 compared to $272,718,000 at December 31, 1999. Short-term borrowings increased $10,100,000 (54.03%), from $18,695,000 at December 31, 1999 to $28,795,000 at March 31, 2000. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL Net income decreased $67,000 (6.30%) in the first quarter of 2000 to $995,000 ($.19 per share), compared to $1,062,000 ($.20 per share) for the same period in 1999. This decrease was driven primarily by merger and acquisition expenses of $95,000 related to the proposed acquisition of Fort Thomas Financial Corporation. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income for the first quarter of 2000 increased to $3,197,000, compared to $2,773,000 for the same period in 1999. An increase of $18,150,000 in loans outstanding drove the $424,000 (15.3%) increase in net interest income, partially offset by a .10% decrease in the net interest margin. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses was $190,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2000, an increase of $70,000 compared to the $120,000 provision recorded during the same period in 1999. At March 31, 2000 the Bank had $1,404,000 in non-performing loans or .54% of total loans outstanding, compared to $971,000 at December 31, 1999. Net charge-offs, year to date were only $12,000. Management believes the reserve, at 1.08% of loans, was adequate at March 31, 2000. 9 NON-INTEREST INCOME Total non-interest income increased $6,000 during the first quarter of 2000 from $576,000 in 1999 to $582,000 in 2000. Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $360,000 for the first quarter of 2000, compared to $298,000 for the same period in 1999; an increase of $62,000 (20.8%), driven by increased volume. Other fee income increased $32,000 to $176,000 for the first quarter of 2000 compared to $144,000 for the same period in 1999. Fee income from the sales of mortgage loans into the secondary market decreased $88,000 in the first quarter of 2000 to $46,000 from $134,000 for the same period last year. The decrease was due to a slight increase in mortgage loan rates compared to this period last year. The Bank originates fixed rate first mortgage loans and sells them, service released, into the secondary market. During the first quarter of 2000, 31 loans with a principal balance of $5.2 million were sold compared to 69 loans with a principal balance of $9.9 million during the same period in 1999. Loans held for sale at March 31, 2000 increased to $532,000 from $426,000 at December 31, 1999. These loans have been approved by the secondary market buyer and closed by the Bank. The Bank is awaiting settlement but is not exposed to significant interest rate or pricing risk during the period between closing the loan and settlement. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Non-interest expense increased to $2,152,000 in the first quarter of 2000 from $1,673,000 in 1999, an increase of $479,000 (28.6%). The change was driven by increases in salaries and benefits and occupancy and equipment expense. Salaries and benefits increased $221,000 (28.2%) in the first quarter of 2000 to $1,005,000 compared to $784,000 for the same period in 1999. Most of the increase was due to annual merit increases and an increase in staffing associated with the opening of new branches in the last quarter of 1999 and the first quarter of 2000. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $64,000 (18.0%) to $420,000 through March 31,2000 compared to $356,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase was due to expenses associated with the opening of branches in the last quarter of 1999 and the first quarter of 2000. Other operating expenses increased to $512,000 in the first quarter of 2000, from $361,000 for the same period in 1999, an increase of $151,000 (41.8%). Expenses related to the proposed merger accounted for $95,000 of the increase. 10 INCOME TAX EXPENSE Income tax expense decreased by $52,000 (10.5%) in the first quarter of 2000 compared to 1999. The decrease was primarily due to lower income before tax and a decrease in the effective tax rate to 30.8% for 2000 from 31.7% for 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Bank achieves liquidity by maintaining an appropriate balance between its sources and uses of funds to assure that sufficient funds are available to meet loan demands and deposit fluctuations. The Bank has the ability to draw funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank and two of its correspondent banks to meet liquidity demands. Management is satisfied that the Company's liquidity is sufficient at March 31, 2000. The company's total shareholders' equity increased $759,000, from $28,922,000 at December 31, 1999 to $29,681,000 at March 31, 2000. In the first quarter of 2000 the Company paid a cash dividend of $.04 per share totaling $212,000. For purposes of determining a bank's deposit insurance assessment, the FDIC has issued regulations that define a "well capitalized" bank as one with a leverage ratio of 5% or more and a total risk-based ratio of 10% or more. At March 31, 2000, the Bank's leverage and total risk-based ratios were 8.99% and 11.88% respectively, which exceed the well-capitalized thresholds. 11 THE BANK OF KENTUCKY FINANCIAL CORPORATION PART II ITEM 1.
