Community Trust Bancorp, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)


Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (which consist of normal recurring accruals) necessary, to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2008, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.  In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, these statements do not include certain information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete annual financial statements.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. ("CTBI") for that period.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007, included in CTBI's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Principles of Consolidation – The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CTBI and its separate and distinct, wholly owned subsidiaries Community Trust Bank, Inc. (the “Bank”) and Community Trust and Investment Company.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications considered to be immaterial have been made in the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to current year classifications.  These reclassifications had no effect on net income.

New Accounting Standards

Ø Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities – a replacement of SFAS No. 125, by requiring, in certain situations, an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract.  All separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities are required to be initially measured at fair value.  Subsequent measurement methods include the amortization method, whereby servicing assets or servicing liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income or net servicing loss or the fair value method, whereby servicing assets or servicing liabilities are measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value are reported in earnings in the period in which they occur.  If the amortization method is used, an entity must assess servicing assets or servicing liabilities for impairment or increased obligation based on the fair value at each reporting date.  Adoption of SFAS 156 on January 1, 2007 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Ø Fair Value Measurements – Effective January 1, 2008, CTBI adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances.  In this standard, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.  In support of this principle, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions.  The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted process in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Ø  Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments.  SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. CTBI has not elected the fair value option for any financial assets or liabilities at June 30, 2008.

Ø Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards – On June 14, 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a final consensus on Issue No. 06-11, Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards.  This consensus was ratified by FASB on June 27, 2007.  This issue states that tax benefits received on dividends paid to employees associated with their unvested stock compensation awards should be recorded in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) for awards expected to vest.  Currently, such dividends are accounted for as a permanent tax deduction reducing the annual effective income tax rate.  This issue is to be applied prospectively to dividends declared in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007.  Retrospective application of this Issue is prohibited.  Issue No. 06-11 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Ø Business Combinations (Revised 2007) The FASB recently issued SFAS 141(R), which replaces FAS 141, Business Combinations, and applies to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses.  SFAS 141R requires an acquirer, upon initially obtaining control of another entity, to recognize the assets, liabilities, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition date.  Contingent consideration is required to be recognized and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later date when the amount of that consideration may be determinable beyond a reasonable doubt.  This fair value approach replaces the cost-allocation process required under SFAS 141 whereby the cost of an acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value.  SFAS 141R requires acquirers to expense acquisition-related costs as incurred rather than allocating such costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as was previously the case under SFAS 141.  Under SFAS 141R, the requirements of SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, would have to be met in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting.  Pre-acquisition contingencies are to be recognized at fair value, unless it is a non-contractual contingency that is not likely to materialize, in which case, nothing should be recognized in purchase accounting, and instead, that contingency would be subject to the probable and estimable recognition criteria of SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies.  SFAS 141R is expected to have a significant impact on our accounting for business combinations closing on or after January 1, 2009.
 
Ø Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements EITF Issue No. 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements requires the recognition of a liability and related compensation expense for endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to post-retirement periods.  Under EITF 06-4, life insurance policies purchased for the purpose of providing such benefits do not effectively settle an entity’s obligation to the employee.  Accordingly, the entity must recognize a liability and related compensation expense during the employee’s active service period based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred during the employee’s retirement.  If the entity has agreed to provide the employee with a death benefit, then the liability for the future death benefit should be recognized by following the guidance in SFAS 106, Employer’s Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.  CTBI adopted EITF 06-4 as a change in accounting principle through a $1.8 million cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings based on the cost of insurance.

CTBI’s compensation expense related to stock option grants was $343 thousand and $339 thousand, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Restricted stock expense for the first six months of 2008 was $25 thousand.  There were no restricted stock grants made prior to the first quarter of 2008.  As of June 30, 2008, there was a total of $1.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock option awards that will be recognized as expense as the awards vest over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.
 
There were no options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2008; however, there were options to purchase 74,776 shares of CTBI common stock and 11,076 shares of restricted stock granted during the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The options were granted pursuant to the terms of the 2006 Stock Ownership Incentive Plan, with an exercise price per share of $28.32 (equal to fair market value on date of grant), a term of 10 years, and vesting in five years.   The restrictions on the restricted stock will lapse at the end of five years.  However, in the event of a change in control of CTBI or the death of the participant, the restrictions will lapse.  In the event of the disability of the participant, the restrictions will lapse on a pro rata basis (with respect to 20% of the participant’s restricted stock for each year since the date of award). The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors will have discretion to review and revise restrictions applicable to a participant’s restricted stock in the event of the participant’s retirement.  There were options to purchase 109,304 shares of CTBI common stock granted during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
 
The fair values of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, were established at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the weighted average assumptions as follows:

Note 3 – Securities
 
Securities are classified into held-to-maturity and available-for-sale categories.  Held-to-maturity securities are those that CTBI has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost.  Available-for-sale securities are those that CTBI may decide to sell if needed for liquidity, asset-liability management or other reasons.  Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses included as a separate component of equity, net of tax.

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying balance sheets.  Loans serviced for the benefit of others (primarily FHLMC) increased to $357 million at June 30, 2008 compared to $351 million at December 31, 2007.  Servicing loans for others generally consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow accounts, disbursing payments to investors, and processing foreclosures.  Custodial escrow balances maintained in connection with the foregoing loan servicing, and included in demand deposits, were approximately $1.0 million at June 30, 2008 compared to $0.5 million at December 31, 2007.

Activity for capitalized mortgage servicing rights using the fair value method was as follows:

Fair value, end of period
  $ 3,256  

(1)  
Represents decrease in value due to regularly scheduled loan principal payments and partial loan paydowns.
(2)  
Represents decrease in value due to loans that paid off during the period.
(3)  
Represents change in value resulting from market-driven changes in interest rates and prepayment speeds.
 
The fair values of capitalized mortgage servicing rights were $3.3 million at both June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.  Fair values for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were determined by third-party valuations using discount rates of 10.06% and 10.10%, respectively, and weighted average default rates of 1.34% and 1.55%, respectively.  Prepayment speeds averaged 12.5% at June 30, 2008 compared to 13.7% at December 31, 2007.  MSR values are very sensitive to movement in interest rates as expected future net servicing income depends on the projected balance of the underlying loans, which can be greatly impacted by the level of prepayments.  CTBI does not currently hedge against changes in the fair value of its MSR portfolio.

Securities Available-for-Sale – Level 2 Inputs.  For these securities, CTBI obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond's terms and conditions, among other things.

Securities Available-for-Sale – Level 3 Inputs.  The securities owned by CTBI that were measured using Level 3 criteria are auction rate securities issued by FNMA ($9,900,000) and FHLMC ($5,000,000). These securities were valued using Level 3 inputs because the market for auction rate securities essentially shut down during the first quarter of 2008, making Level 1 or Level 2 observations unavailable.  For these securities, CTBI determined a fair value by calculating a net present value of future cash flows.  Several key assumptions were used to determine this net present value.  The first was a discount rate of 8.5%, representing the current average default rate for auction rate securities.  The second was a term of 18 months, representing management’s best estimate of how long these securities would remain illiquid. The last was the contractual cash flows, which were derived from the contractual default rates of the individual securities.  Using these assumptions, the net present value of the cash flows for these securities was determined to be $14.4 million, resulting in an unrealized loss of $0.5 million recorded through other comprehensive income.

Mortgage Servicing Rights – Level 3 Inputs.  CTBI records MSRs at fair value on a recurring basis with subsequent remeasurement of MSRs based on change in fair value.  In determining fair value, CTBI utilizes the expertise of an independent third party.  An estimate of the fair value of CTBI’s MSRs is determined by the independent third party utilizing assumptions about factors such as mortgage interest rates, discount rates, mortgage loan prepayment speeds, market trends and industry demand.  All of CTBI’s MSRs are classified as Level 3.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

Overview
 
Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (“CTBI”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Pikeville, Kentucky.  At June 30, 2008, CTBI owned one commercial bank and one trust company.  Through its subsidiaries, CTBI has seventy-seven banking locations in eastern, northeast, central, and south central Kentucky and southern West Virginia, and five trust offices across Kentucky.  At June 30, 2008, CTBI had total consolidated assets of $2.9 billion and total consolidated deposits, including repurchase agreements, of $2.4 billion, making it the second largest bank holding company headquartered in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2008 was $306.2 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, many of which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes.  Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty, the actual results will inevitably differ from our estimates.  Such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
 
We believe the application of accounting policies and the estimates required therein are reasonable.  These accounting policies and estimates are constantly reevaluated, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change.  Historically, we have found our application of accounting policies to be appropriate, and actual results have not differed materially from those determined using necessary estimates.

Our accounting policies are more fully described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.  We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Available-for-Sale Securities – Available-for-sale securities are valued using the following valuation techniques:

Securities Available-for-Sale – Level 2 Inputs.  For these securities, CTBI obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond's terms and conditions, among other things.

Securities Available-for-Sale – Level 3 Inputs.  The securities owned by CTBI that were measured using Level 3 criteria are auction rate securities issued by FNMA ($9,900,000) and FHLMC ($5,000,000). These securities were valued using Level 3 inputs because the market for auction rate securities essentially shut down during the first quarter of 2008, making Level 1 or Level 2 observations unavailable.  For these securities, CTBI determined a fair value by calculating a net present value of future cash flows.  Several key assumptions were used to determine this net present value.  The first was a discount rate of 8.5%, representing the current average default rate for auction rate securities.  The second was a term of 18 months, representing management’s best estimate of how long these securities would remain illiquid. The last was the contractual cash flows, which were derived from the contractual default rates of the individual securities.  Using these assumptions, the net present value of the cash flows for these securities was determined to be $14.4 million, resulting in an unrealized loss of $0.5 million recorded through other comprehensive income.
 
Loans  Loans with the ability and the intent to be held until maturity and/or payoff are reported at the carrying value of unpaid principal reduced by unearned interest and an allowance for loan and lease losses.  Income is recorded on the level yield basis.  Interest accrual is discontinued when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions, collateral value, and collection efforts, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.  Any loan greater than 90 days past due must be well secured and in the process of collection to continue accruing interest.  Cash payments received on nonaccrual loans generally are applied against principal, and interest income is only recorded once principal recovery is reasonably assured.  Loans are not reclassified as accruing until principal and interest payments are brought current and future payments appear reasonably certain.
 
Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized over the estimated life of the related loans, leases, or commitments as a yield adjustment.
 
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses  We maintain an allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) at a level that is appropriate to cover estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans determined to be impaired, as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan and lease portfolio.  Since arriving at an appropriate ALLL involves a high degree of management judgment, we use an ongoing quarterly analysis to develop a range of estimated losses.  In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we use our best estimate within the range of potential credit loss to determine the appropriate ALLL.  Credit losses are charged and recoveries are credited to the ALLL.
 
We utilize an internal risk grading system for commercial credits.  Those larger commercial credits that exhibit probable or observed credit weaknesses are subject to individual review.  The borrower’s cash flow, adequacy of collateral coverage, and other options available to CTBI, including legal remedies, are evaluated.  The review of individual loans includes those loans that are impaired as SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.  We evaluate the collectibility of both principal and interest when assessing the need for loss provision.  Historical loss rates are applied to other commercial loans not subject to specific allocations.  The loss rates are determined from a migration analysis which computes the net charge off experience on loans according to their internal risk grade.
 
Homogenous loans, such as consumer installment, residential mortgages, and home equity lines are not individually risk graded.  The associated ALLL for these loans is measured under SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies.  The ALLL allocation for these pools of loans is established based on the average, maximum, minimum, and median loss ratios over the previous eight quarters.
 
Historical loss rates for commercial and retail loans are adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, reflect the impact of any current conditions on loss recognition.  Factors that we consider include delinquency trends, current economic conditions and trends, strength of supervision and administration of the loan portfolio, levels of underperforming loans, level of recoveries to prior year's charge offs, trend in loan losses, industry concentrations and their relative strengths, amount of unsecured loans and underwriting exceptions.  These factors are reviewed quarterly and a weighted range developed with a “most likely” scenario determined.  The total of each of these weighted factors is then applied against the applicable portion of the portfolio and the ALLL is adjusted accordingly.
 
Loans Held for Sale – Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate.  Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized in a valuation allowance by charges to income.

Premises and Equipment – Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Capital leases are included in premises and equipment at the capitalized amount less accumulated amortization.  Premises and equipment are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis.
 
Depreciation and amortization are computed primarily using the straight-line method.  Estimated useful lives range up to 40 years for buildings, 2 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and up to the lease term for leasehold improvements.  Capitalized leased assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the respective leases.
 
Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible  We evaluate total goodwill and core deposit intangible for impairment, based upon SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and SFAS 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, using fair value techniques including multiples of price/equity.  Goodwill and core deposit intangible are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or as other events may warrant.
 
Amortization of core deposit intangible is estimated at approximately $0.6 million annually for the next two years, approximately $0.4 million in year three, and approximately $0.1 million in years four and five.
 

 
 

 


Income Taxes – Income tax expense is based on the taxes due on the consolidated tax return plus deferred taxes based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates.
 
Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) – Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Diluted EPS adjusts the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding by the dilutive effect of stock options as prescribed in SFAS 123R.
 
Segments – Management analyzes the operation of CTBI assuming one operating segment, community banking services.  CTBI, through its operating subsidiaries, offers a wide range of consumer and commercial community banking services.  These services include: (i) residential and commercial real estate loans; (ii) checking accounts; (iii) regular and term savings accounts and savings certificates; (iv) full service securities brokerage services; (v) consumer loans; (vi) debit cards; (vii) annuity and life insurance products; (viii) Individual Retirement Accounts and Keogh plans; (ix) commercial loans; (x) trust services; and (xi) commercial demand deposit accounts.
 
Bank Owned Life Insurance – CTBI's bank owned life insurance policies are carried at their cash surrender value.  We recognize tax-free income from the periodic increases in cash surrender value of these policies and from death benefits.
 
Mortgage Servicing Rights – Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) are carried at fair market value with the implementation of SFAS 156 in January 2007.  MSRs are valued using Level 3 inputs as defined in SFAS 157.  The fair value is determined quarterly based on an independent third-party valuation using a discounted cash flow analysis and calculated using a computer pricing model.  The computer valuation is based on key economic assumptions including the prepayment speeds of the underlying loans, the weighted-average life of the loan, the discount rate, the weighted-average coupon, and the weighted-average default rate, as applicable.  MSRs are a component of other assets.  Along with the gains received from the sale of loans, fees are received for servicing loans.  These fees include late fees, which are recorded in interest income, and ancillary fees and monthly servicing fees, which are recorded in noninterest income.  Costs of servicing loans are charged to expense as incurred.  Changes in fair market value of the MSRs are reported as an increase or decrease to mortgage banking income.

Statement of Income Review
 
CTBI reported earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 of $0.58 per basic share, an increase from the $0.57 earned during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and flat to the $0.58 per basic share earned during the second quarter of 2007.  Earnings for the quarter increased 0.9% to $8.6 million compared to the $8.5 million earned during the first quarter 2008 and decreased 2.7% compared to the $8.9 million earned during the second quarter 2007.  Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased to $17.2 million or $1.14 per basic share from the $16.9 million or $1.11 per basic share earned for the first six months of 2007.

Second Quarter 2008 Highlights

v  
CTBI's basic earnings per share for the second quarter 2008 increased 1.8% from prior quarter as the result of a 10.7% increase in noninterest income.  Year-to-date basic earnings per share increased 2.7% from prior year.

v  
The total 100 basis point decline in interest rates that occurred beginning on March 18, 2008 has negatively impacted our net interest margin during the second quarter since 37% of our loans reprice within 30 days.  Our net interest margin decreased 12 basis points from prior quarter but increased 2 basis points from prior year second quarter.

v  
Net interest income decreased $0.6 million from prior quarter and $0.9 million from prior year second quarter.  The decrease in net interest income from prior year second quarter resulted from a $104 million decline in average earning assets as management continues to manage its net interest margin.  Management has utilized the liquidity from its investment portfolio to fund loans and repay $40 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances while allowing deposits to decline $98.9 million during the past 12 months as loan demand has been curtailed and other investment opportunities have been limited by current economic conditions.

v  
Noninterest income for the quarter increased 10.7% over prior quarter and 7.9% over prior year second quarter with increases in deposit service charges, trust revenue, and the fair value of mortgage servicing rights.  Gains on sales of loans increased from prior year, but decreased from prior quarter.

v  
Noninterest expense for the first six months of 2008 has decreased $3.0 million or 6.9% from prior year primarily due to no accrual for the company-wide incentive-based compensation plan and the 2007 charge from unamortized debt issuance costs with the redemption of trust preferred securities.

v  
Nonperforming loans increased $1.6 million at June 30, 2008 to $44.2 million compared to $42.6 million at prior quarter-end and $23.9 million for prior year quarter ended June 30, 2007.  CTBI experienced a decline in nonperforming loans in its Eastern and Northeastern Regions while nonperforming loans remained relatively flat in the South Central Region and increased in the Central Kentucky Region.  The increase in the Central Kentucky Region is primarily attributable to two borrowers adversely impacted by the continuing weakness in the housing market and the resulting increase in time required by the legal process for movement from foreclosure to liquidation.

v  
Our loan portfolio increased an annualized 3.9% during the quarter with $21.8 million in growth.  Loan growth from prior year second quarter was $58.6 million.

v  
Our investment portfolio, which is a source of liquidity to fund loan growth, increased an annualized 6.3% from prior quarter but declined 27.2% from prior year second quarter.  Management has utilized this liquidity in lieu of increased deposit costs (deposits have declined $98.9 million year over year) to support loan growth and for margin management.

v  
Our efficiency ratio was 57.25% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to 56.39% and 58.22% for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively.
 
CTBI had basic weighted average shares outstanding of 15.0 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 15.2 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.  The following table sets forth on an annualized basis the return on average assets and return on average shareholders’ equity for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

Net Interest Income
 
Our quarterly net interest margin decreased 12 basis points from prior quarter; however, the margin increased 2 basis points from prior year second quarter.  Net interest income for the quarter of $25.7 million was a 2.4% decrease from prior quarter and a 3.5% decrease from prior year second quarter.  The yield on average earnings assets decreased 50 basis points from prior quarter and 96 basis points from prior year second quarter in comparison to the 44 basis point and 113 basis point decreases in the cost of interest bearing funds during the same periods.  Average earning assets increased 0.7% from prior quarter but decreased 3.7% from prior year second quarter.

Net loan charge-offs for the quarter of $2.2 million, or 0.38% of average loans annualized, was an increase from prior quarter's 0.33% of average loans annualized and the 0.23% for prior year second quarter.  Allocations to loan loss reserve were $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and $1.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.  Our loan loss reserve as a percentage of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2008 increased to 1.28% compared to 1.27% at March 31, 2008 and 1.25% at June 30, 2007.  The adequacy of our loan loss reserve is analyzed quarterly and adjusted as necessary.

Noninterest Income
 
Noninterest income for the second quarter 2008 increased 10.7% over prior quarter and 7.9% over prior year second quarter with increases in deposit service charges, trust revenue, and loan related fees.  Gains on sales of loans increased from prior year, but decreased from prior quarter.  The increase in loan related fees resulted from the increase in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights of $0.7 million quarter over quarter and $0.2 million year over year resulting from decreased prepayment speeds and increased interest rates.  Year-to-date noninterest income increased 5.5% over prior year.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the quarter increased 2.2% from prior quarter but decreased 2.4% from prior year second quarter.  Year-to-date noninterest expense has decreased 6.9% from prior year primarily due to the 2007 charge from unamortized debt issuance costs with the redemption of trust preferred securities and no accrual for the company-wide incentive-based compensation plan.
 
Balance Sheet Review
 
CTBI’s total assets at $2.9 billion declined an annualized 3.6% from the $3.0 billion at March 31, 2008 and an annualized 1.7% from the $2.9 billion at December 31, 2007.  Loans outstanding at June 30, 2008 were $2.3 billion reflecting an annualized 3.9% growth during the quarter and an annualized 4.1% growth from December 31, 2007.  CTBI's investment portfolio increased an annualized 6.3% from prior quarter but decreased an annualized 11.8% from December 31, 2007 with the majority of the decline consisting of auction rate securities.  Deposits, including repurchase agreements, at $2.4 billion decreased an annualized 5.5% from prior quarter and an annualized 2.6% from December 31, 2007 as management continued our focus on net interest margin management.
 
Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2008 was $306.2 million compared to $306.8 million at March 31, 2008 and $301.4 at December 31, 2007.  CTBI's annualized dividend yield to shareholders as of June 30, 2008 was 4.42%.

 

 
 
Loans
 
Loan growth occurred in the commercial and consumer loan portfolios during the first six months of 2008 while we experienced a decline in the residential loan portfolios.  The commercial loan portfolio increased $45.4 million, the consumer portfolio increased $8.4 million, and residential real estate loans decreased $8.1 million.

Economic conditions continue to be challenging for both our business and individual customers.  Nonperforming loans increased during the second quarter by $1.6 million.  Nonperforming loans decreased in our Eastern and Northeastern Regions, remained relatively flat in our South Central Region, but increased in our Central Kentucky Region.  Nonperforming loans in this region increased $4.3 million during the second quarter 2008.  The increase in nonperforming loans in the Central Kentucky Region is primarily attributable to two borrowers adversely impacted by the weak real estate market and the resulting increase in time required by the legal process for movement from foreclosure to liquidation.  The Central Kentucky market continues to experience the most stress from the current housing crisis.  CTBI's total nonperforming loans at June 30, 2008 were $44.2 million compared to $42.6 million at March 31, 2008 and $31.9 million at December 31, 2007, while our 30-89 days past due loans declined 12.4% from $20.0 million to $17.6 million.  All nonperforming commercial loans in excess of $100 thousand are individually reviewed with specific reserves established when appropriate.  We anticipate nonperforming loans to remain higher than recent history as the normal legal collection time period for real estate secured assets has been slowed due to increased volumes in the industry.  Our loan portfolio management processes focus on maintaining appropriate reserves for potential losses.
 
Foreclosed properties increased during the second quarter 2008 to $9.1 million from the $7.4 million at March 31, 2008 and the $7.9 million at December 31, 2007.  Sales of foreclosed properties during the first six months of 2008 totaled $3.0 million while new foreclosed properties totaled $4.2 million.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The allowance for loan and lease losses balance is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover anticipated probable losses based on past loss experience, general economic conditions, information about specific borrower situations including their financial position and collateral values, and other factors and estimates which are subject to change over time.  This analysis is completed quarterly and forms the basis for allocation of the loan loss reserve and what charges to the provision may be required.  For further discussion of the allowance for loan losses, see the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section presented earlier in Item 2.

Securities
 
CTBI uses its securities held-to-maturity for production of income and to manage cash flow needs through expected maturities.  CTBI uses its securities available-for-sale for income and balance sheet liquidity management.  Securities available-for-sale reported at fair value decreased from $324.2 million as of December 31, 2007 to $306.9 million at June 30, 2008.  The excess of cost over market increased from $1.7 million at December 31, 2007 to $2.6 million at June 30, 2008.  Securities held-to-maturity decreased from $33.0 million to $29.3 million during the same period.  Total securities as a percentage of total assets were 12.3% as of December 31, 2007 and 11.7% as of June 30, 2008.
 
 


 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
CTBI’s liquidity objectives are to ensure that funds are available for the subsidiary bank to meet deposit withdrawals and credit demands without unduly penalizing profitability.  Additionally, CTBI's objectives ensure that funding is available for CTBI to meet ongoing cash needs while maximizing profitability.  CTBI continues to identify ways to provide for liquidity on both a current and long-term basis.  The subsidiary bank relies mainly on core deposits, certificates of deposits of $100,000 or more, repayment of principal and interest on loans and securities and federal funds sold and purchased to create long-term liquidity.  The subsidiary bank also has available the sale of securities under repurchase agreements, securities available-for-sale, and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings as secondary sources of liquidity.
 
Due to the nature of the markets served by the subsidiary bank, management believes that the majority of its certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more and its repurchase agreements are no more volatile than its core deposits.  During periods of interest rate volatility, these deposit balances have remained stable as a percentage of total deposits.  In addition, an arrangement has been made with a correspondent bank for the purchase of federal funds on an unsecured basis, up to $20 million, if necessary, to meet CTBI’s liquidity needs.
 
CTBI owns securities with an estimated fair value of $307 million that are designated as available-for-sale and available to meet liquidity needs on a continuing basis.  CTBI also has available Federal Home Loan Bank advances for both liquidity and management of its asset/liability position.  FHLB advances decreased slightly to $40.8 million at June 30, 2008 from the $40.9 million at December 31, 2007.  FHLB borrowing capacity at June 30, 2008 was $402 million.  Long-term debt remained at $61.3 million from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008.  At June 30, 2008, federal funds sold were $4.4 million compared to $32.0 million at December 31, 2007.  Additionally, management projects cash flows from CTBI's investment portfolio to generate additional liquidity over the next 90 days.
 
CTBI generally relies upon net inflows of cash from financing activities, supplemented by net inflows of cash from operating activities, to provide cash for its investing activities.  As is typical of many financial institutions, significant financing activities include deposit gathering, use of short-term borrowing facilities such as federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, and issuance of long-term debt.  CTBI’s primary investing activities include purchases of securities and loan originations.
 
The investment portfolio continues to consist of high-quality short-term issues.  The majority of the investment portfolio is in U.S. government and government sponsored agency issuances.  The average life of the portfolio is 4.51 years. At the end of the second quarter 2008, available-for-sale ("AFS") securities comprised approximately 84% of the total investment portfolio.  The AFS portfolio was approximately 99.7% of equity capital, and eighty-seven percent of the pledge eligible portfolio was pledged.
 
CTBI's stock repurchase program began in December 1998 with the authorization to acquire up to 500,000 shares and was increased by an additional 1,000,000 shares in July 2000 and in May 2005.  CTBI repurchased 93,500 shares of its common stock during the first six months of 2008, leaving 288,519 shares remaining under CTBI's current repurchase authorization.  As of June 30, 2008, a total of 2,211,481 shares have been repurchased through this program.
 
In conjunction with maintaining a satisfactory level of liquidity, management monitors the degree of interest rate risk assumed on the consolidated balance sheet.  CTBI monitors its interest rate risk by use of the static gap model and dynamic gap model at the one-year interval.  CTBI uses the Sendero system to monitor its interest rate risk.  The static gap model monitors the difference in interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities as a percentage of total assets that mature within the specified time frame.  The dynamic gap model goes further in that it assumes that interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities will be reinvested.  CTBI desires an interest sensitivity gap of not more than fifteen percent of total assets at the one-year interval.
 
CTBI’s principal source of funds used to pay dividends to shareholders and service long-term debt is the dividends it receives from the subsidiary bank.  Various federal statutory provisions, in addition to regulatory policies and directives, limit the amount of dividends that subsidiary banks can pay without prior regulatory approval.  These restrictions have had no major impact on CTBI’s dividend policy or its ability to service long-term debt, nor is it anticipated that they would have any major impact in the foreseeable future.  During the remainder of 2008, approximately $50.6 million plus any remaining 2008 net profits can be paid by CTBI’s banking subsidiary without prior regulatory approval.
 
The primary source of capital for CTBI is retained earnings.  CTBI paid cash dividends of $0.58 per share during the first six months of 2008.  Basic earnings per share for the same period were $1.14.  CTBI retained 49.1% of earnings for the first six months of 2008.
 
Under guidelines issued by banking regulators, CTBI and its subsidiary bank are required to maintain a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% and a minimum total risk-based ratio of 8%.  In order to be considered “well-capitalized” CTBI must maintain ratios of 6% and 10%, respectively.  Risk-based capital ratios weight the relative risk factors of all assets and consider the risk associated with off-balance sheet items.  CTBI must also maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%.  The well-capitalized ratio for Tier 1 leverage is 5%.  CTBI’s Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based, and total risk-based ratios were 10.52%, 13.40%, and 14.65%, respectively, as of June 30, 2008, all exceeding the threshold for meeting the definition of well-capitalized.
 
As of June 30, 2008, management is not aware of any current recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have, or would be reasonably likely to have, a material adverse impact on CTBI’s liquidity, capital resources, or operations.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
 
The majority of CTBI’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Therefore, CTBI differs greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investment in nonmonetary assets, such as fixed assets and inventories.  However, inflation does have an important impact on the growth of assets in the banking industry and on the resulting need to increase equity capital at higher than normal rates in order to maintain an appropriate equity to assets ratio.  Inflation also affects other expenses, which tend to rise during periods of general inflation.
 
Management believes one of the most significant impacts on financial and operating results is CTBI’s ability to react to changes in interest rates.  Management seeks to maintain an essentially balanced position between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against the effects of wide interest rate fluctuations.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Interest rate risk management focuses on maintaining consistent growth in net interest income within Board-approved policy limits.  CTBI uses an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to movements in interest rates.  Given a 200 basis point increase to the yield curve used in the simulation model, it is estimated net interest income for CTBI would increase by 3.96 percent over one year and by 3.80 percent over two years.  A 200 basis point decrease in the yield curve would decrease net interest income by an estimated 3.83 percent over one year and by 5.76 percent over two years.  For further discussion of CTBI's market risk, see the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Market Risk included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

CTBI's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  As of June 30, 2008, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President/Treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of CTBI's disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on that evaluation, management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008 were effective in ensuring material information required to be disclosed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis.  Additionally, there were no changes in CTBI's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, CTBI's internal control over financial reporting.

Management's responsibilities related to establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures include maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting that are designed to produce reliable financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  There have been no significant changes in CTBI's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to June 30, 2008.
