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. On June 14, 2000, the Company consummated the acquisition of the Fort Thomas Financial Corporation (FTFC) and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Fort Thomas Savings Bank. Upon consummation, 865,592 shares of the Company were issued for substantially all of the outstanding shares of FTFC. The combination was accounted for as a pooling of interests and the historical financial position and results of operations of the two companies have been combined for financial reporting purposes. FTFC reported its results on a September 30 fiscal year basis. These financial statements combine the historical financial position of FTFC as of October 1, 1999 with the historical financial position of the Company as of January 1, 2000. The results of operations of the separate companies are combined and presented for the three month period ended March 31, 2000. FTFC's results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 1999 are not included in these financial statements. Net income for that period was $232,000 and is reflected in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity and as an adjustment related to the merger. Dividends per share are the company's historical dividends. The following table presents the combination of the operating results for the 2000 period included in these financial statements (dollars in thousands): - ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------- --------------------- -------------------- COMPANY FTFC COMBINED - ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------- --------------------- -------------------- THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 30, 2000: - ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------- --------------------- -------------------- Net interest income $ 3,197 $ 934 $ 4,131 - ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------- --------------------- -------------------- Net income 995 203 1,198 - ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------- --------------------- -------------------- 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. Except for required accounting changes, 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. 8 NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE: - ---------------------------- Earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective three and six month periods. 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. The following table presents the number of shares used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share for the indicated periods: Three Months Ended March 31 2001 2000 ---- ---- Weighted Average Shares Outstanding 6,158,236 6,102,970 Shares used to compute diluted Earnings per share 6,184,660 6,198,125 NOTE 4 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: - --------------------------------------- Effective January 1, 2001, a new accounting standard required all derivatives to be recorded at fair value. Unless designated as hedges, changes in fair value are recorded in the income statement. Fair value changes involving hedges are recorded by offsetting gains and losses on the hedge and on the hedge item, even if the fair value of the hedged item is not otherwise recorded. Adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company. 9 THE BANK OF KENTUCKY FINANCIAL CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS MARCH 31, 2001 FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets at March 31, 2001 were $476,551,000 compared to $470,129,000 at December 31, 2000, an increase of $6,422,000 (1.37%). Deposits increased $13,727,000 (3.49%) to $407,448,000 at March 31, 2001 compared to $393,721,000 at December 31, 2000 resulting in a decrease in short-term borrowings of $8,883,000 (-70.26%) to $3,760,000 at March 31,2001 from $12,643,000 December 31, 2000. Loans outstanding decreased $9,745,000 (-2.54%) from $384,081,000 at December 31, 2000 to $374,336,000 at March 31, 2001. Funds generated by the decrease in loans outstanding and the deposit growth increased overnight federal funds to $18,638,000 at March 31, 2001 from $0 at December 31, 2000. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL Net income increased $508,000 (42.40%) in the first quarter of 2001 to $1,706,000 ($.28 per share), compared to $1,198,000 ($.20 per share) for the same period in 2000. Improved net interest income, a lower provision, and a 62.46% increase in non-interest income contributed to the increased earnings. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income for the first quarter of 2001 increased to $4,400,000, an increase of $269,000 (6.51%) compared to $4,131,000 for the same period in 2000. An increase of $24,545,000 in loans outstanding, compared to March 31, 2000, drove the $269,000 (6.51%) increase in net interest income, partially offset by a .04% decrease in the net interest margin. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses was $86,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2001, a decrease of $133,000 compared to the $219,000 provision recorded during the same period in 2000. Lower net charge-offs, fewer non-performing loans and a decline in loans outstanding of $9,745,000, from $384,081,000 at December 31, 2000 to $373,336,000 at March 31, 2001, contributed to the lower provision for loan losses. At March 31, 2001 the Bank had $3,167,000 in non-performing loans or .85% of total loans outstanding, 10 compared to $4,989,000 at December 31, 2000. Net charge-offs, year to date 2001 were $41,000 compared to $117,000 in 2000. Management believes the reserve, at 1.03% of loans, was adequate at March 31, 2001. NON-INTEREST INCOME Total non-interest income increased $396,000 during the first quarter of 2001 from $634,000 in 2000 to $1,030,000 in 2001. The increase was driven by fee income from the sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market, which increased $193,000 in the first quarter of 2001 to $239,000 from $46,000 for the same period last year. The increase was due to a decrease 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 2001, 173 loans with a principal balance of $20.3 million were sold compared to 31 loans with a principal balance of $5.2 million during the same period in 2000. Loans held for sale at March 31, 2001 increased to $2,236,000 from $0 at December 31, 2000. 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. The Bank also realized a gain of $67,000 on the sale of $6,500,000 in available for sale securities. These securities were replaced with bonds in the two to three year maturity range. Other fee income increased $100,000 (47.84%) to $309,000 for the first quarter of 2001 compared to $209,000 for the same period in 2000. Increases in letter of credit fees, ATM surcharge fees, and debit card interchange fees accounted for $58,000 of the increase. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Non-interest expense increased only slightly to $2,856,000 in the first quarter of 2001 from $2,803,000 in 1999, an increase of $53,000 (1.89%). The change was driven by increases in salaries and benefits. Salaries and benefits increased $77,000 (6.04%) in the first quarter of 2001 to $1,352,000 compared to $1,275,000 for the same period in 2000. Most of the increase was due to annual merit increases. Other operating expenses decreased to $713,000 in the first quarter of 2001, from $791,000 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $78,000 (-9.86%). Savings from the merger of the two companies accounted for the decrease. INCOME TAX EXPENSE Income tax expense increased due to higher income before taxes. The effective tax rate was stable at just over 31%. 11 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, 2001. The company's total shareholders' equity increased $1,526,000, from $47,777,000 at December 31, 2000 to $49,303,000 at March 31, 2001. In the first quarter of 2001 the Company paid a cash dividend of $.05 per share totaling $309,000. On March 16, 2001 the Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 2% of the outstanding common shares of the Company in the over-the-counter market during the twelve months following the public release of the Company's earnings for the first quarter of 2001. The timing and terms of any repurchase transactions will be determined by management based upon a number of factors. Any repurchases will be funded, as needed, by dividends from the Bank. As of the date of this report, no shares had yet been repurchased. 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, 2001, the Bank's leverage and total risk-based ratios were 10.26 and 12.49 respectively, which exceed the well-capitalized thresholds. 12 THE BANK OF KENTUCKY FINANCIAL CORPORATION PART II ITEM 1.
