Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1.
Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Farmers Capital Bank Corporation (the “Company” or “Parent Company”), a financial holding company, and its bank and nonbank subsidiaries. Bank subsidiaries include Farmers Bank & Capital Trust Co. in Frankfort, KY and its significant wholly-owned subsidiaries Leasing One Corporation (“Leasing One”) and Farmers Capital Insurance Corporation (“Farmers Insurance”). Leasing One is a commercial leasing company in Frankfort, KY and Farmers Insurance is an insurance agency in Frankfort, KY; First Citizens Bank in Elizabethtown, KY; United Bank & Trust Co. (“United Bank”) in Versailles, KY. United Bank has one subsidiary, EGT Properties, Inc. EGT Properties is involved in real estate management and liquidation for certain repossessed properties of United Bank; The Lawrenceburg Bank and Trust Company in Lawrenceburg, KY; and Citizens Bank of Northern Kentucky, Inc. in Newport, KY (“Citizens Northern”); Citizens Northern has one subsidiary, ENKY Properties, Inc. ENKY Properties is involved in real estate management and liquidation for certain repossessed properties of Citizens Northern.

The Company has four active nonbank subsidiaries, FCB Services, Inc. (“FCB Services”), Kentucky General Holdings, LLC (“Kentucky General”), FFKT Insurance Services, Inc. (“FFKT Insurance”), and EKT Properties, Inc. (“EKT”). FCB Services is a data processing subsidiary located in Frankfort, KY that provides services to the Company’s banks as well as unaffiliated entities. Kentucky General holds a 50% voting interest in KHL Holdings, LLC, which is the parent company of Kentucky Home Life Insurance Company. FFKT Insurance is a captive property and casualty insurance company insuring primarily deductible exposures and uncovered liability related to properties of the Company. EKT was created in 2008 to manage and liquidate certain real estate properties repossessed by the Company. In addition, the Company has three subsidiaries organized as Delaware statutory trusts that are not consolidated into its financial statements. These trusts were formed for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company provides financial services at its 37 locations in 23 communities throughout Central and Northern Kentucky to individual, business, agriculture, government, and educational customers. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts.  Its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial lending and leasing, and installment loans. Substantially all loans and leases are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans and leases are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Farmers Bank has served as the general depository for the Commonwealth of Kentucky for over 70 years and also provides investment and other services to the Commonwealth. Other services include, but are not limited to, cash management services, issuing letters of credit, safe deposit box rental, and providing funds transfer services.  Other financial instruments, which potentially represent concentrations of credit risk, include deposit accounts in other financial institutions and federal funds sold.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements are based on various factors including the current interest rate environment and the general strength of the local economy.  Changes in the overall interest rate environment can significantly affect the Company’s net interest income and the value of its recorded assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31 has been prepared from the books and records without audit.  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and the footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements, have been included.  The results of operations for the interim periods 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 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

2.
Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements of prior periods to conform to the current period presentation.  These reclassifications do not affect net income or total shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

Recently Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. This FSP:
 
 
·
Affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction.
 
 
 
·
Clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is not active.
 
 
 
·
Eliminates the proposed presumption that all transactions are distressed (not orderly) unless proven otherwise. The FSP instead requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence.
 
 
 
·
Includes an example that provides additional explanation on estimating fair value when the market activity for an asset has declined significantly.
 
 
 
·
Requires an entity to disclose a change in valuation technique (and the related inputs) resulting from the application of the FSP and to quantify its effects, if practicable.
 
 
 
·
Applies to all fair value measurements when appropriate.
 
FSP FAS 157-4 must be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company has elected to not early adopt this FSP. The Company does not expect this FSP to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position upon adoption.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”. This FSP:
 
 
·
Changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary for debt securities;
 
 
 
·
Replaces the existing requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis;

Requires that an entity recognize noncredit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities in other comprehensive income and amortize that amount over the remaining life of the security in a prospective manner by offsetting the recorded value of the asset unless the security is subsequently sold or there are additional credit losses;
 
 
 
·
Requires an entity to present the total other-than-temporary impairment in the statement of earnings with an offset for the amount recognized in other comprehensive income; and

·
When adopting FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, an entity is required to record a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the period of adoption to reclassify the noncredit component of a previously recognized other-temporary impairment from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income if the entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery.
 
FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company has elected to not early adopt this FSP. The Company does not expect this FSP to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position upon adoption.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. This FSP amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. Under this FSP, a publicly traded company shall include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. In addition, an entity shall disclose in the body or in the accompanying notes of its summarized financial information for interim reporting periods and in its financial statements for annual reporting periods the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position, as required by SFAS No. 107.

FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 are effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company has elected to not early adopt this FSP. The Company does not expect this FSP to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position upon adoption.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies. This FSP amends the guidance in SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”, as follows:
 
 
·
Require that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated. If fair value of such an asset or liability cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability would generally be recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, and FASB Interpretation No. 14, “Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss”. Further, the FASB decided to remove the subsequent accounting guidance for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies from Statement 141(R), and carry forward without significant revision the guidance in SFAS No. 141.
 
 
 
·
Eliminate the requirement to disclose an estimate of the range of outcomes of recognized contingencies at the acquisition date. For unrecognized contingencies, the FASB decided to require that entities include only the disclosures required by Statement 5 and that those disclosures be included in the business combination footnote.
 
 
 
·
Require that contingent consideration arrangements of an acquiree assumed by the acquirer in a business combination be treated as contingent consideration of the acquirer and should be initially and subsequently measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 141(R).
 
This FSP is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect this FSP to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position upon adoption.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2009 the Company adopted SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”, SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, SFAS NO. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative

 
10

 

Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts”.

SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principals and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring goodwill or gain from a bargain purchase in a business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The adoption of this statement did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

SFAS No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements” to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The statement also amends certain of ARB No. 51’s consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of SFAS No. 141(R). The adoption of this statement did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to provide enhanced disclosures about 1) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; 2) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and related interpretations; and 3) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The adoption of this statement did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

SFAS No. 163 clarifies how SFAS No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises”, applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. The adoption of this statement did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

5.           Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average total number of common shares issued and outstanding.  Net income available to common shareholders represents net income adjusted for preferred stock dividends including dividends declared, accretion of discounts on preferred stock issuances, and cumulative dividends related to the current dividend period that have not been declared as of the end of the period. Diluted net income per common share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the total weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding plus amounts representing the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding and outstanding warrants. The effects of stock options and outstanding warrants are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive. Dilutive potential common shares are calculated using the treasury stock method.

Net income per common share computations were as follows at March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Options to purchase 57,621 and 62,621 shares at March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were outstanding but excluded in the computation of earnings per common share because they were antidilutive. For 2009, 223,992 potential common shares associated with a warrant issued to the U.S. Treasury were excluded from the computation of earnings per common share because the result would be antidilutive.

6.           Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008 the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 and SFAS No. 159. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, but does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any financial assets or liabilities.

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 
Level 1:
Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 
Level 2:
Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 
Level 3:
Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Following is a description of the valuation method used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. For this disclosure, the Company only has available for sale investment securities that meet the requirement.

Available for sale investment securities
Valued primarily by independent third party pricing services under the market valuation approach that include, but not limited to, the following inputs:

 
·
U.S. Treasury securities are priced using dealer quotes from active market makers and real-time trading systems.
 
·
Marketable equity securities are priced utilizing real-time data feeds from active market exchanges for identical securities.
 
·
Government-sponsored agency debt securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, corporate bonds, and other similar investment securities are priced with available market information through processes using benchmark yields, matrix pricing, prepayment speeds, cash flows, live trading data, and market spreads sourced from new issues, dealer quotes, and trade prices, among others sources.
 
·
Investments in the Federal Reserve Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank, and other similar stock totaling $9.0 million at March 31, 2009 is carried at cost and not included in the table below, as they are outside the scope of SFAS No. 157.

The Company may be required to measure and disclose certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis to comply with GAAP, primarily to adjust assets to fair value under the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting. Disclosures may also include financial assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, which are initially measured at fair value and evaluated periodically for impairment.

For disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the Company’s only current disclosure obligation consists of impaired loans. Loans are considered impaired when full payment under the contractual terms is not expected. In general, impaired loans are also on nonaccrual status. Impaired loans are measured at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, at the loan’s observable market price, or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the value of an impaired loan is less than the unpaid balance, the difference is credited to the allowance for loan losses with a corresponding charge to provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan is confirmed.

At March 31, 2009 impaired loans were $48.4 million, unchanged from year-end 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, impaired loans in the amount of $1.6 million were written down to their estimated fair value of $1.3 million. The provision for loan losses for 2009 includes $317 thousand related to impaired loans. For the first quarter of 2008, the provision for loan losses included $511 thousand related to impaired loans. Impaired loans are measured at fair value based on the underlying collateral and are considered level 3 inputs.

7.           Preferred Stock and Warrant

On January 9, 2009, as part of the U.S. Department of Treasury’s (“Treasury”) Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”), the Company received a $30.0 million equity investment by issuing 30 thousand shares of Series A, no par value preferred stock to the Treasury pursuant to a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement that was previously disclosed by the Company. The Company also issued a warrant to the Treasury allowing it to purchase 223,992 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $20.09. The warrant can be exercised immediately and has a term of 10 years.

The non-voting Series A preferred shares issued, with a liquidation preference of $1 thousand per share, will pay a cumulative cash dividend quarterly at 5% per annum during the first five years the preferred shares are outstanding, resetting to 9% thereafter if not redeemed. The CPP also includes certain restrictions on dividend payments of the Company’s lower ranking equity and the ability to purchase its outstanding common shares.

The Company allocated the proceeds received from the Treasury, net of transaction costs, on a pro rata basis to the Series A preferred stock and the warrant based on their relative fair values. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of the warrant. The fair value of the Series A preferred stock was estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology and a discount rate of 13%. The Company assigned $2.0 million and $28.0 million to the warrant and the Series A preferred stock, respectively. The resulting discount on the Series A preferred stock is being accreted up to the $30.0 million liquidation amount over the five year expected life of the Series A preferred stock. The discount accretion is being recorded as additional preferred stock dividends, resulting in an effective dividend yield of 6.56%.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Quarter 2009 Compared to First Quarter 2008

The Company reported net income of $3.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. This represents a decrease of $1.1 million or 24.5% compared to $4.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Net income per common share was $.39 in the current quarter, a decrease of $.20 or 33.9% compared to $.59 a year ago. A summary of the quarterly comparison follows.

 
§
The percentage decrease in per share earnings is greater than the percentage decrease in net income due to dividends on the preferred stock issued during the current quarter.
 
§
Net interest income decreased $516 thousand or 3.5%. Interest income on loans declined $2.8 million or 12.4% partially offset by lower interest expense on deposits of $2.4 million or 21.7%.
 
§
The provision for loan losses increased $574 thousand or 52.1%.
 
§
Noninterest income increased $338 thousand or 5.3% mainly due to a $388 thousand increase in net gains on the sale of investment securities and a $221 thousand increase in net gains on the sale of loans. Service charges and fees on deposits decreased $192 thousand or 8.1% in the comparison.
 
§
Noninterest expenses increased $732 thousand or 5.1%. Salary and benefit expenses were relatively unchanged at $7.5 million. Higher expenses occurred across a broad range of line items.
 
§
Income tax expense decreased $413 thousand or 32.2%. The effective income tax rate was 20.9% in the current period compared to 22.7% a year earlier.
 
§
Return on average assets (“ROA”) and equity (“ROE”) was .60% and 6.87%, respectively compared to .82% and 10.28% for the previous-year first quarter.
 
§
Net interest spread and margin for the current quarter was 2.75% and 3.03%, respectively compared to 2.99% and 3.29% a year earlier. The balance sheet leverage transaction that occurred during 2007 negatively impacted net interest margin by 13 basis points in the current three months.

Net Interest Income

The overall interest rate environment during the first quarter of 2009 has been more stable compared to the dramatic volatility that occurred during 2008. However, the overall rate environment remains near historic lows and has made managing the Company’s net interest margin very challenging. At March 31, 2009 the short-term federal funds target interest rate was between zero and 0.25%, unchanged from December 31, 2008. The yield curve has inched upward since year-end 2008, with the 10 and 30-year treasury yields climbing 45 and 86 basis points, respectively. Shorter-term treasury yields moved upward at a much lower amount, up 13, 16, and 3 basis points for the 3-month, 6-month, and 2-year treasury’s, respectively. The 3-year and 5-year treasury yields were up 15 and 11 basis points, respectively.

Net interest income was $14.2 million for the first three months of 2009, a decrease of $516 thousand or 3.5% from $14.8 million a year earlier. The decrease in net interest income is attributed mainly to a $2.8 million or 12.4% decline in interest income on loans that was partially offset by a $2.4 million or 21.7% decrease in interest expense on deposit accounts. The decrease in both of these line items was driven by rate declines, which countered the effect on net interest income of volume increases in both loans and deposits.

Interest income and interest expense related to nearly all of the Company’s earning assets and interest paying liabilities have declined in the quarterly comparison. These declines are due almost entirely to the lower interest rate environment in the current period compared to a year earlier. The Company is generally earning and paying less interest from its earning assets and funding sources as rates have dropped. This includes repricing of variable and floating rate assets and liabilities that have reset since the prior reporting period as well as activity related to new earning assets and funding sources that reflect the overall lower interest rate environment.

Total interest income was $26.3 million in the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of $3.7 million or 12.3% and was driven by lower interest income on loans of $2.8 million or 12.4%. The average rate earned on loans was 6.2% in the current period, down 95 basis points from 7.2% a year earlier. Similar declines were experienced in other earning asset categories. Interest income from deposits held in other banks and federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell was down $489 thousand or 86.1% as a 289 basis point decrease in the average rate earned offset a volume increase of $71.9 million or 98%. Interest on taxable securities decreased $384 thousand or 6.5% which is also attributed to a 37 basis point lower average rate earned.

Total interest expense was $12.1 million in the current quarter. This represents a decrease of $3.2 million or 20.9% compared to $15.3 million a year ago. The decrease in interest expense was driven by lower interest expense on deposits of $2.4 million or 21.7%. The average rate paid on deposit accounts was 2.54% in the current period, a decrease of 83 basis points compared to 3.36% a year earlier. Interest expense on time deposits, the largest component of interest expense on deposits, declined $1.3 million or 14.6% in the quarterly comparison. Interest expense on short and long-term borrowings decreased $590 thousand or 83.6% and $228 thousand or 6.3%, respectively. These decreases were mainly driven by the overall lower interest rate environment.

The net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis decreased 26 basis points to 3.03% during the first quarter of 2009 compared to 3.29% in the same quarter of 2008.  The lower net interest margin is attributed to a 24 basis point decrease in the spread between rates earned on earning assets and the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities to 2.75% in the current quarter from 2.99% in the first quarter of 2008. The decrease in net interest margin was impacted mainly by an overall lower interest rate environment. The Company expects its net interest margin to remain flat or decrease slightly in the near term due to the maturity structure of its earning assets, particularly loans, and to a lesser degree, funding sources that continue to reprice downward to reflect the overall lower market interest rate environment.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents charges (or credits) to earnings that maintain an allowance for loan losses at an adequate level based on credit losses specifically identified in the loan portfolio, as well as management’s best estimate of incurred probable loan losses in the remainder of the portfolio at the balance sheet date.

The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $1.7 million, an increase of $574 thousand compared to $1.1 million for the same quarter of 2008. Net charge-offs were $727 thousand in the current quarter compared to $763 thousand a year earlier. On an annualized basis, quarterly net charge-offs were ..22% of average loans outstanding at March 31, 2009. This compares to .22%, and ..24% for the fourth quarter of 2008 and March 31 a year ago, respectively.

In general, the provision for loan losses and related allowance increases as the level of nonperforming and impaired loans, as a percentage of loans outstanding, increases. Nonperforming loans were $29.0 million at March 31, 2009, an increase of $3.5 million compared to year-end 2008 and a decrease of $925 thousand compared to March 31, 2008. As a percentage of net loans outstanding, nonperforming loans were 2.20%, 1.94% and 2.32% at March 31, 2009, year-end 2008, and March 31, 2008, respectively. Real estate development lending continues to weigh down nonperforming loans which has contributed to a higher provision and allowance for loan losses. In addition, the general component of the Company’s allowance for loan losses has increased as a result of its historical loan loss experience that has trended upward in recent periods.

Nonperforming loans spiked upward during the third quarter of 2007 and peaked at $29.9 million during the first quarter of 2008. The upward trend in nonperforming loans beginning during the last half of 2007 and into early 2008 was driven by overall weaknesses in the general economy, including a softer housing market and significant credit tightening throughout the financial services industry. For the Company, this resulted in the real estate development portion of its lending portfolio that has shown the most signs of stress.

The allowance for loan losses was $17.8 million or 1.35% of net loans at March 31, 2009. This compares to $16.9 million or 1.28% of net loans outstanding at year-end 2008. A year earlier, the allowance was $14.6 million or

 
17

 

1.13% of net loans outstanding. As a percentage of nonperforming loans, the allowance for loan losses was 61.4%, 66.1%, and 48.7% at March 31, 2009, year-end 2008, and March 31, a year earlier, respectively.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $6.7 million for the first quarter of 2009, an increase of $338 thousand or 5.3% compared to $6.4 million for the same period a year ago. Higher net gains on the sale of investment securities and loans of $388 thousand and $221 thousand, respectively, were the primary reason for the increase.

The increase in net gains on the sale of investment securities is attributed to higher sales activity and refinements in the makeup of the investment portfolio from normal asset-liability management. The increase in net gains on the sale of loans is attributed to higher sales volumes helped by lower interest rates and consumer refinancing activity. Allotment processing fees were up $107 thousand or 9.2%, also boosted by increased transaction volumes. Partially offsetting these increases was a decline in service charges and fees on deposits of $192 thousand or 8.1% and trust fees of $82 thousand or 15.9%. The primary driver for the lower service charges and fees on deposits is attributed to a decrease in NSF fees of $162 thousand and experienced throughout most of the Company’s market areas and a result of lower volumes.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expenses were $15.1 million for the first quarter of 2009, up $732 thousand or 5.1% compared to the first quarter of 2008. Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of noninterest expenses, was relatively unchanged; decreasing $27 thousand or .4% to $7.5 million. Salary and related payroll taxes decreased $163 thousand or 2.5%, which was nearly offset by higher benefit costs of $135 thousand. The average number of full time equivalent employees dropped to 569 from 575 in the comparison.

Intangible amortization expense decreased $163 thousand or 25.0% in the quarterly comparison which partially offset increases in other expense line items. Amortization of intangible assets, which relate to customer lists and core deposits from prior acquisitions, is decreasing as a result of amortization schedules that allocate a higher amount of amortization in the earlier periods following an acquisition consistent with how the assets are used.

Significant increases in other noninterest expense line items include net occupancy expense of $187 thousand or 16.5% due to an increase in the number of properties used in the Company’s business; data processing and communication expenses of $135 thousand or 10.3% due in part to higher processing volumes and, to a lesser extent, higher fees paid by the Company to third parties for the processing of paper transactions. These fees are expected to decline in coming quarters as the Company anticipates lower paper processing transactions. Deposit insurance was up $385 thousand and bank franchise taxes increased $138 thousand or 32.9%. The increase in bank franchise taxes and deposit insurance is due in part to unusually low amounts accrued for in the prior year. In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) has proposed various scenarios to increase future deposit insurance assessments that include a special emergency assessment to recapitalize the FDIC’s deposit insurance fund. The specific amount of increases has not yet been determined. If the special emergency assessment amount is toward the upper range of the proposals, the Company estimates it would incur an additional $3.3 million in deposit insurance expense during 2009.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2009 was $871 thousand, a decrease of $413 thousand or 32.2% compared to $1.3 million for the same period a year earlier. The effective federal income tax rate decreased 183 basis points to 20.9% from 22.7% in the comparison. Tax free revenues in the current period make up a larger percentage of total revenues than in the comparable period a year ago.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets were $2.2 billion at March 31, 2009, an increase of $39.0 million or 1.8% from the prior year-end. The increase in assets is primarily related to higher cash and equivalents of $35.9 million and an increase in loans (net of unearned interest) and investment securities of $6.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

 
18

 

Total liabilities increased $9.3 million or .5% at March 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008. Deposits increased $8.5 million or .5%. Borrowed funds, primarily short-term obligations, decreased $5.9 million or 1.6%. Other liabilities were up $7.1 million or 29.4% due mainly to the accrual of investment securities purchased that settled subsequent to the end of the quarter. Shareholders’ equity increased $29.7 million or 17.7% to $198 million at the end of the period due mainly to the additional capital raised from issuing $30.0 million of preferred stock to the U.S. Department of Treasury (“Treasury”).

The increase in current end of period cash and cash equivalents compared to year-end 2008 was driven by the cash raised from the preferred stock issued to the Treasury and, to some extent, the net increase from other sources of funds. These funds primarily include interest and noninterest bearing deposits, loan principal payments, and net proceeds from matured, called, or sold investment securities that have generally been reinvested in temporary investments to the extent not used to fund new loans or other earning assets. The relatively small increase in net loans compared to year-end 2008 is the result of a continued cautious and measured lending strategy. This approach is a product of tighter loan underwriting standards and an economy that in general continues to show weaknesses.

Management of the Company considers it noteworthy to understand the relationship between the Company’s principal subsidiary, Farmers Bank, and the Commonwealth.  Farmers Bank provides various services to state agencies of the Commonwealth.  As the depository for the Commonwealth, checks are drawn on Farmers Bank by these agencies, which include paychecks and state income tax refunds.  Farmers Bank also processes vouchers of the WIC (Women, Infants and Children) program for the Cabinet for Human Resources. The Bank’s investment department also provides services to the Teacher’s Retirement System. As the depository for the Commonwealth, large fluctuations in deposits are likely to occur on a daily basis.  Therefore, reviewing average balances is important to understanding the financial condition of the Company.

On an average basis, total assets were $2.2 billion for the first three months of 2009, an increase of $88.2 million or 4.1% from year-end 2008. The increase in average assets is attributed mainly to higher earning asset balances of $101 million or 5.4%. Average temporary investments increased $79.9 million or 122% from year-end 2008. Average investment securities were up $7.7 million or 1.5%. Average loans were up $13.2 million or 1.0% compared to the average year-end balance. Deposits averaged $1.6 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $66.0 million or 4.3% from the prior year-end. Time deposits led the increase, jumping $71.5 million or 9.0%. Average earning assets were 89.0% of total average assets at March 31, 2009 compared to 88.0% at year-end 2008.

Temporary Investments

Temporary investments consist of interest bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell. The Company uses these funds in the management of liquidity and interest rate sensitivity. At March 31, 2009, temporary investments were $169 million, an increase of $65.7 million or 63.7% compared to $103 million at year-end 2008.

Temporary investments averaged $145 million during the first three months of 2009, an increase of $79.9 million or 122% from year-end 2008. The increase is a result of the Company’s overall net funding position, which was fueled by the $30.0 million additional capital raised from issuing preferred stock to the Treasury during the current quarter. In addition, net funds available from deposit accounts, loan principal payments, and net proceeds from matured, called, or sold investment securities that have generally been reinvested in temporary investments to the extent not used to fund new loans or other earning assets. Temporary investments are reallocated to loans or other investments as market conditions and Company resources warrant.

Investment Securities

The investment securities portfolio is comprised primarily of U.S. government-sponsored agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, and tax-exempt securities of states and political subdivisions. The Company also holds $16.4 million amortized cost amounts of single-issuer trust preferred capital securities of global and national financial services firms with an estimated fair value of $7.9 million. In addition, the Company holds $2.5 million amortized cost amounts of debentures issued by global and national financial services firms with an estimated fair value of $1.5 million. The Company evaluates these securities under the applicable accounting guidance, SFAS

 
19

 

No. 115, FSP No. 115, and SAB No. 59. Each of these securities are currently performing and the issuers of such securities are rated as investment grade by major rating agencies, even though down grades have occurred with respect to certain securities within this group of holdings. The Company has the intent and ability to hold these securities for the foreseeable future and believes these securities are not impaired due to reasons of credit quality, but rather the unrealized losses are primarily attributed to general uncertainties in the financial markets and market volatility. The Company believes that it will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of these securities and that the fair values of these securities will recover as they approach their maturity dates.

Total investment securities were $541 million on March 31, 2009, an increase of $4.5 million or .8% compared to $536 million at year-end 2008. Net amortized cost amounts were up $6.9 million or 1.3% which was partially offset by a net decrease in market values adjustments of $2.3 million related to investments carried in the available for sale portfolio. The $2.3 million lower market values of the available for sale investment securities is attributed in part to the sale of investment securities during the current period that had net unrealized gains of $1.2 million at year-end 2008 and to the decline in value attributed to the change in overall market rates between the periods. Net market values of the Company’s fixed rate investments edged lower compared to the prior year-end mainly as a result of a slight uptick in the overall interest rate environment as reflected in the yield curves of the comparable periods.

Unrealized losses within the Company’s investment securities portfolio have not been included in income since they are identified as temporary. The securities’ fair values are expected to recover as they approach their maturity dates and the Company has the intent and ability to hold to recovery. All investment securities in the Company’s portfolio are currently performing. The Company does not have direct exposure to the subprime mortgage market. The Company does not originate subprime mortgages nor has it invested in bonds that are secured by such mortgages.

Loans

Loans, net of unearned interest, were $1.3 billion at March 31, 2009, an increase of $6.4 million or .5% from year-end 2008. The Company has continued to take a more measured and cautious approach to loan growth in the near term as a result of continued weaknesses in the general economy.

The composition of the loan portfolio is summarized in the table below.

On average, loans represented 66.4% of earning assets during the current three-month period, a decrease of 286 basis points compared to 69.3% for year-end 2008. Average loans represent a lower percentage of earning assets mainly as a result of the jump in short-term temporary investment, which is driven by overall market conditions and the net funding position of the Company. As loan demand fluctuates, the available funds are reallocated between loans and temporary investments or investment securities, which typically involve a decrease in credit risk and lower yields.

The Company does not have direct exposure to the subprime mortgage market. The Company does not originate subprime mortgages nor has it invested in bonds that are secured by such mortgages.

Nonperforming Loans

Nonperforming loans consist of nonaccrual loans and loans past due ninety days or more on which interest is still accruing.  In general, the accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when it is determined that the collection of interest or principal is doubtful, or when a default of interest or principal has existed for 90 days or more, unless such loan is well secured and in the process of collection.

Nonperforming loans were $29.0 million at March 31, 2009, an increase of $3.5 million or 13.8% compared to year-end 2008 as the overall economic environment continues to hinder the Company’s efforts to reduce its level of nonperforming loans and assets. Nonperforming loans were as follows at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

The $22.8 million balance of nonaccrual loans outstanding at March 31, 2009 is comprised mainly of 11 credits totaling $17.7 million, substantially all of which is secured by real estate. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest increased mainly due to the addition of two larger real estate collateral loans totaling $2.8 million. The Company placed one larger-balance commercial loan of $556 thousand on nonaccrual status during the current quarter that was classified as past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at year-end 2008.

Other Real Estate

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) includes real estate properties acquired by the Company through foreclosure. At March 31, 2009 OREO was $14.9 million, an increase of $486 thousand or 3.4% compared to $14.4 million from year-end 2008. The increase in OREO during the current quarter is attributed mainly to the Company taking possession of real estate property securing a single credit with a value of $750 thousand that was previously classified as a nonaccrual loan.

Deposit balances of the Commonwealth can fluctuate significantly from day to day. The Company believes average balances are important when analyzing its deposit balances. The Company has experienced a rise in time deposits as a result of customers that have moved money out of a volatile stock market and into more stable investments in time deposits. The Company also believes that increased deposit insurance coverage generally up to $250 thousand has had a net positive impact on outstanding balances.

Borrowed Funds

Total borrowed funds were $407 million at March 31, 2009, a decrease of $5.9 million or 1.4% from $413 million at year-end 2008. Long-term borrowings were virtually unchanged at $335 million. Short-term borrowings decreased $5.8 million or 7.4% due to a $2.0 million decline in short-term FHLB borrowing and lower federal funds purchases and securities sold under agreements to repurchase balances. These sources of short-term funding fluctuate as the overall net funding position of the Company changes.

LIQUIDITY

The Parent Company’s primary use of cash consists of dividend payments to its common and preferred shareholders, purchases of its common stock, corporate acquisitions, interest expense on borrowings, and other general operating purposes. Liquidity of the Parent Company depends primarily on the receipt of dividends from its subsidiary banks, cash balances maintained, and borrowings from nonaffiliated sources.  As of March 31, 2009 combined retained earnings of the subsidiary banks was $47.8 million, of which $3.2 million was available for the payment of dividends to the Parent Company without obtaining prior approval from bank regulatory agencies.  As a practical matter, payment of future dividends is also subject to the maintenance of other capital ratio requirements.

Management expects that in the aggregate, its subsidiary banks will continue to have the ability to pay dividends in order to provide funds to the Parent Company to meet its near-term liquidity needs. In addition, the Parent Company has a $15.0 million unsecured line of credit with an unrelated financial institution available for general corporate purposes. This line of credit matures in June 2009 and bears interest at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 140 basis points.

The Parent Company had cash balances of $4.7 million at March 31, 2009, an increase of $381 thousand or 8.9% from $4.3 million at year-end 2008. In addition, the Parent Company has $26.0 million invested in a short-term securities purchased under agreement to resell (“reverse repo”) contract. Significant cash flows during the current three-month period for the Parent Company include the following: proceeds from issuing preferred stock of $30.0 million; management fees received from subsidiaries of $732 thousand; purchase of short-term reverse repo investment of $26.0 million; payment of dividends to common and preferred shareholders of $2.6 million; and interest payments on borrowed funds of $579 thousand.

The Company's objective as it relates to liquidity is to ensure that its subsidiary banks have funds available to meet deposit withdrawals and credit demands without unduly penalizing profitability.  In order to maintain a proper level of liquidity, the subsidiary banks have several sources of funds available on a daily basis that can be used for liquidity purposes.  Those sources of funds include the subsidiary banks' core deposits, consisting of business and nonbusiness deposits, cash flow generated by repayment of principal and interest on loans and investment securities, FHLB and other borrowings, and federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.  While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investment securities are generally a predictable source of funds, deposit outflows and mortgage prepayments are influenced significantly by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition in the Company’s local markets.  As of March 31, 2009 the Company had approximately $134 million in additional borrowing capacity under various FHLB, federal funds, and other borrowing agreements.  However, there is no guarantee that these sources of funds will continue to be available to the Company, or that current borrowings can be refinanced upon maturity, although the Company is not aware of any events or uncertainties that are likely to cause a decrease in the Company’s liquidity from these sources.

For the longer term, the liquidity position is managed by balancing the maturity structure of the balance sheet.  This process allows for an orderly flow of funds over an extended period of time.  The Company’s Asset and Liability Management Committee, both at the bank subsidiary level and on a consolidated basis, meets regularly and monitors the composition of the balance sheet to ensure comprehensive management of interest rate risk and liquidity.

Liquid assets consist of cash, cash equivalents, and available for sale investment securities.  At March 31, 2009, consolidated liquid assets were $766 million, an increase of $40.6 million or 5.6% from year-end 2008.  The increase in liquid assets is mainly attributed to $35.9 million higher cash and equivalents. The increase in cash and equivalents is a result of the Company’s overall net funding position, which was boosted by the $30.0 million additional capital raised from issuing preferred stock to the Treasury during the current quarter.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $15.4 million in the first three months of 2009, an increase of $5.7 million or 58.4% compared to $9.7 million for the same period a year earlier. Net cash used in investing activities was $9.5 million in the current three months of 2009, up $2.8 million or 41.0% compared to $6.7 million a year ago. The increase in net cash used in investing activities is mainly due to higher net outflows related to loan activity in the current three months of $9.8 million compared to a year ago, partially offset by higher inflows related to proceeds from the sale of repossessed assets of $6.0 million and a decrease in cash outflows for the purchase of premises and equipment of $1.5 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $30.0 million in the current period, a decrease of $47.8 million or 61.4% compared to $77.8 million a year ago. The lower cash provided by financing activities in the current period was driven mainly by a $58.5 million decrease in net deposit activity in the three-month comparison. Deposits of the Commonwealth declined $28.7 million in the current three months. A year ago, deposits of the Commonwealth increased $25.4 million in the same three-month period. Net cash provided by financing activities for 2009 includes $30.0 million from the Company’s issuance of preferred stock to the Treasury.

Commitments to extend credit are considered in addressing the Company’s liquidity management.  The Company does not expect these commitments to significantly affect the liquidity position in future periods. The Company has not entered into any contracts for financial derivative instruments such as futures, swaps, options, or similar instruments.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders’ equity was $198 million on March 31, 2009, an increase of $29.7 million or 17.7% from $168 million at December 31, 2008. The increase in shareholders’ equity is due mainly to the Company’s participation in the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Plan (“CPP”). In January 2009, the Company received a $30.0 million equity investment by issuing 30 thousand shares of Series A, no par value preferred stock to the Treasury pursuant to a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement that was previously disclosed by the Company. In addition, the Company issued a warrant to the Treasury allowing it to purchase 224 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $20.09. The warrant can be exercised immediately and has a term of 10 years.

The non-voting Series A preferred shares issued, with a liquidation preference of $1 thousand per share, will pay a cumulative cash dividend quarterly at 5% per annum during the first five years the preferred shares are outstanding, resetting to 9% thereafter if not redeemed. The CPP also includes certain restrictions on dividend payments of the Company’s lower ranking equity and the ability to purchase its outstanding common shares.

Consistent with the objective of operating a sound financial organization, the Company’s goal is to maintain capital ratios well above the regulatory minimum requirements.  The Company's capital ratios as of March 31, 2009 and the regulatory minimums are as follows.

The capital ratios of each subsidiary bank were in excess of the applicable minimum regulatory capital ratio requirements at March 31, 2009 as calculated under guidelines established by federal banking agencies. The Company is not aware of any recommendations by its regulatory authorities which, if implemented, would have a material effect on its capital resources, liquidity, or operations.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company uses a simulation model as a tool to monitor and evaluate interest rate risk exposure.  The model is designed to measure the sensitivity of net interest income and net income to changing interest rates over future time periods.  Forecasting net interest income and its sensitivity to changes in interest rates requires the Company to make assumptions about the volume and characteristics of many attributes, including assumptions relating to the replacement of maturing earning assets and liabilities.  Other assumptions include, but are not limited to, projected prepayments, projected new volume, and the predicted relationship between changes in market interest rates and changes in customer account balances.  These effects are combined with the Company’s estimate of the most likely

rate environment to produce a forecast of net interest income and net income.  The forecasted results are then adjusted for the effect of a gradual increase and decrease in market interest rates on the Company’s net interest income and net income.  Because assumptions are inherently uncertain, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or net income or the effect of interest rate changes on net interest income and net income.  Actual results could differ significantly from simulated results.

At March 31, 2009, the model indicated that if rates were to gradually increase by 150 basis points during the remainder of the calendar year, then net interest income and net income would increase 2.5% and 8.8%, respectively for the year ending December 31, 2009 when compared to the forecasted results for the most likely rate environment.  The model indicated that if rates were to gradually decrease by 150 basis points over the same period, then net interest income and net income would decrease 2.5% and 9.1%, respectively.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed in this report has been made known to them in a timely fashion.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have also concluded that there were no significant changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

As of March 31, 2009, there were various pending legal actions and proceedings against the Company arising from the normal course of business and in which claims for damages are asserted.  Management, after discussion with legal counsel, believes that these actions are without merit and that the ultimate liability resulting from these legal actions and proceedings, if any, will not have a material effect upon the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

At various times, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the purchase of shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. No stated expiration dates have been established under any of the previous authorizations. There were no Company shares purchased during the quarter ended March 31, 2009. There are 84,971 shares that may still be purchased under the various authorizations.

On January 9, 2009, the Company received a $30.0 million equity investment by issuing 30 thousand shares of Series A, no par value preferred stock to the Treasury pursuant to a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement that was previously disclosed by the Company. In addition, the Company issued a warrant to the Treasury allowing it to purchase 224 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $20.09. The warrant can be exercised immediately and has a term of 10 years. The Series A preferred stock and warrant were issued in a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Company’s participation in the CPP restricts its ability to repurchase its outstanding common stock.  Until January 9, 2012, the Company generally must have the Treasury’s approval before it may repurchase any of its shares of common stock, unless all of the Series A preferred stock has been redeemed by the Company or transferred by the Treasury.
