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 bank holding company in
Frankfort, KY, and its bank and nonbank subsidiaries. Bank subsidiaries include
Farmers Bank & Capital Trust Co. in Frankfort, KY (“Farmers Bank”) 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
(“First Citizens”); 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 (“Lawrenceburg Bank”); 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. On August 6,
2009 Kentucky General sold its entire 50% interest in KHL Holdings, LLC to
Hamburg Insurance, LLC. KHL Holdings, the parent company of Kentucky Home Life
Insurance Company, was a joint venture between the Company and Hamburg
Insurance, an otherwise unrelated entity. The Company received gross proceeds of
$2.5 million for the sale of KHL Holdings, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $185
thousand. The Company withdrew its financial holding company election upon the
sale of KHL Holdings.
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 36 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 Company’s unaudited books and records. 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 and additional descriptions of the Company’s accounting
policies, 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.
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.

Adoption
of New Accounting Standards
|
In June
2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting
pronouncement establishing FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM
(“ASC”) as the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”) applicable to all nongovernmental entities effective July 1,
2009. ASC superseded then-existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), and related literature. Rules
and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC
registrants. All other accounting literature is non-authoritative.
The FASB
will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards, FASB Staff Position’s, or EITF Abstracts. Instead, the
FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”), which will serve only to:
(a) update the ASC;
(b) provide background
information about the guidance; and (c) provide the bases for
conclusions on changes in the ASC. The change to ASC changes how companies refer
to GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Companies will now cite
relevant accounting content by referring to the specific Topic, Subtopic,
Section, or Paragraph structure of the ASC. The adoption of this accounting
pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
ASC Topic 805, “Business
Combinations”.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance
under ASC Topic 805. ASC Topic 805 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. This standard 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. This Topic requires acquirers to expense acquisition related costs
as incurred rather than allocating such costs to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed under previous accounting guidance.
Other
provisions of this Topic requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed
in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair
value on the date of acquisition 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 ASC Topic
450, “Contingencies”.
Topic 805 eliminates the requirement to disclose an estimate of the range of
outcomes of recognized contingencies at the acquisition date. It also requires
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.
The
provisions of ASC 805 will only impact the Company if it enters into a business
combination on or after January 1, 2009. The impact of adopting this accounting
guidance will also depend on the nature of any contingencies associated with
such acquisitions.
ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation”.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance under ASC
Topic 810. This Topic establishes accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. Under this Topic, a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, which
is often referred to as a minority interest, is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as a component of equity in the
consolidated financial statements.
Other
requirements of this Topic require consolidated net income to include the
amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also
requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of the
amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the
noncontrolling interest. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have
an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives
and Hedging”. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted
new accounting guidance under ASC Topic 815. This Topic amends and expands the
prior disclosure requirements to provide enhanced transparency 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 accounting guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
ASC Topic 820, “Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures”. Effective for the second
quarter of 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance under ASC Topic
820. New guidance under this Topic:
|
·
|
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 new guidance 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 new guidance and to quantify
its effects, if practicable.
|
|
·
|
Applies
to all fair value measurements when
appropriate.
|
The
adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
ASC Topic 320, “Investments-Debt
and Equity Securities”. Effective for the second quarter of 2009,
the Company adopted new accounting guidance under ASC Topic 320. New guidance
under this Topic:
|
·
|
Changes
existing guidance for determining whether 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;
|
|
·
|
Incorporates
examples of factors from existing literature that should be considered in
determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily
impaired;
|
Under ASC
Topic 320, declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale
securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are
reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related
to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is
recognized in other comprehensive income. The adoption of this accounting
guidance did not have a material impact on the
Company’s
consolidated financial position or results of operations. Reference is made to
Note 7 for additional disclosures required by this Topic.
ASC Topic 825, “Financial
Instruments”. Effective for the second quarter of 2009, the Company
adopted new accounting guidance under ASC Topic 825. New accounting guidance
under this Topic requires an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of
financial instruments in interim financial information. It also amends prior
guidance to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at
interim reporting periods. Under the new guidance, 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. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of
operations. Please refer to Note 6 for additional information related to the
impact of adopting this guidance.
ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent
Events”. Effective for the second quarter of 2009, the Company adopted
new accounting guidance under ASC Topic 855. New accounting guidance under this
Topic establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events
that occur after the balance sheet date, but before financial statements are
issued or are available to be issued. This Topic defines 1) the period after the
balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate
events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in
the financial statements; 2) the circumstances under which an entity should
recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its
financial statements; and 3) the disclosures that an entity should make about
events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.
The
adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company
evaluated subsequent events through November 6, 2009, the date its financial
statements were issued, and believes that no events have occurred requiring
further disclosure or adjustment to the consolidated financial
statements.
4.
|
Recently
Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting
Standards
|
ASC Topic 860, “Transfers
and Servicing”. Effective January 1, 2010, new accounting guidance under
ASC Topic 860 will require more information about transfers of financial assets,
including securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing
exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the
concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for
derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures about
continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information
about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The Company
does not expect the guidance under this Topic to have a material impact on its
consolidated results of operations or financial position upon
adoption.
ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation”.
Effective January 1, 2010, new accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 amends
prior guidance to change how a reporting entity determines when an entity that
is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar
rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity
is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the
other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct
the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other
entity’s economic performance. The new guidance requires a number of new
disclosures about an entity’s involvement with variable interest entities and
any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A reporting
entity will also be required to disclose how its involvement with a variable
interest entity affects the reporting entity’s financial statements. The Company
does not expect the guidance under this Topic to have a material impact on its
consolidated results of operations or financial position upon
adoption.
ASC Topic 820, “Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures”. In August 2009, the FASB issued
ASU 2009-05, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)—Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”.
ASU 2009-05 includes amendments to Topic 820 for the fair value
measurement of liabilities and provides clarification that in circumstances in
which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not
available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or
more of the techniques provided for in Topic 820. The
guidance
under ASU 2009-05 is effective October 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the
guidance under this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated results of
operations or financial position upon adoption.
ASC Topic 260, “Earnings
Per Share”. In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-08, “Earnings Per Share-Amendments to
Section 260-10-S99”. ASU 2009-8 includes technical corrections to Topic
260, based on EITF Topic D-53, "Computation of Earnings Per Share
for a Period that Includes a Redemption or an Induced Conversion of a Portion of
a Class of Preferred Stock" and EITF Topic D-42, "The Effect of the Calculation of
Earnings Per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock”.
The Company does not expect the guidance under this ASU to have a
material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position
upon adoption.
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
(loss) income per common share computations were as follows for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

6. Fair
Value Measurements
ASC Topic
820, “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures”, defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value, and sets forth disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASC Topic 825, “Financial
Instruments”, allows 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.
ASC Topic
820 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. It 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. This Topic 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

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 and other real estate owned (“OREO”). 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
September 30, 2009 impaired loans were $99.5 million compared to $48.4 million
at year-end 2008. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, impaired
loans in the amount of $64.0 million were written down to their estimated fair
value of $57.6 million. The provision for loan losses in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2009 includes $2.7 million and $6.4 million,
respectively, related to impaired loans. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008, the provision for loan losses included $400 thousand and
$911 thousand, respectively, related to impaired loans. Impaired loans are
measured at fair value based on either the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or at the fair value of
the underlying collateral based on recent appraisals. Fair value measurement for
impaired loans use significant unobservable inputs and are considered Level 3
inputs under accounting for fair value measurements and
disclosures.
OREO
includes properties acquired by the Company through actual loan foreclosures and
is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair
value is the amount that the Company could reasonably expect to receive in a
current sale between a willing buyer and a willing seller, other than in a
forced or liquidation sale. Fair value of OREO is measured by the market value
based on comparable sales and is considered as Level 3 inputs. If fair value
declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through
expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed. At September 30, 2009 OREO was
$19.7 million compared to $14.4 million at year-end 2008. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2009, OREO in the amount of $1.2 million was written down to
its estimated fair value of $1.0 million. Impairment charges included in
earnings related to OREO were $58
thousand
and $151 thousand in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009,
respectively. In addition to the impairment charges, net losses included in
earnings from the sale of OREO were $213 thousand and $249 thousand during the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
following table presents the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial
instruments made in accordance with the requirements of ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”. It
excludes fair values presented elsewhere. ASC 825 requires disclosure of fair
value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the
balance sheet for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The estimated
fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market
information and present value or other valuation techniques. These derived fair
values are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. ASC
825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from
the disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts
presented are not intended to represent the underlying value of the
Company.
The
following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each
class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value.
Cash and
Cash Equivalents, Accrued Interest Receivable, and Accrued Interest
Payable
The
carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Investment
Securities Held to Maturity
Fair
value equals quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not
available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar
securities.
FHLB and Similar Stock
Due to restrictions placed on its
transferability, it is not practicable to determine fair value.
Loans
The fair
value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current
discount rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar
credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
Deposit
Liabilities
The fair
value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is
the amount payable on demand at the reporting date and fair value approximates
carrying value. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is
estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered
for certificates of deposit with similar remaining maturities.
Federal
Funds Purchased and other Short-term Borrowings
The
carrying amount is the estimated fair value for these borrowings that reprice
frequently in the near term.
Securities
Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase, Subordinated Notes Payable, and Other
Long-term Borrowings
The fair
value of these borrowings is estimated based on rates currently available for
debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Commitments
to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit
Pricing
of these financial instruments is based on the credit quality and relationship,
fees, interest rates, probability of funding, compensating balance, and other
covenants or requirements. Loan commitments generally have fixed expiration
dates, variable interest rates and contain termination and other clauses that
provide for relief from funding in the event there is a significant
deterioration in the credit quality of the customer. Many loan commitments are
expected to, and typically do, expire without being drawn upon. The rates and
terms of the Company's commitments to lend and standby letters of credit are
competitive with others in the various markets in which the Company operates.
There are no unamortized fees relating to these financial instruments, as such
the carrying value and fair value are both zero.
The
estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as
follows.

The
amortized cost and estimated fair value of the securities portfolio at September
30, 2009, by contractual maturity, are detailed below. The summary is divided
into available for sale and held to maturity securities. Expected maturities may
differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call
or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Equity
securities in the available for sale portfolio consist primarily of restricted
FHLB and Federal Reserve Board stocks, which have no stated maturity and are not
included in the maturity schedule that follows.
Mortgage-backed
securities are stated separately due to the nature of payment and prepayment
characteristics of these securities, as principal is not due at a single
date.

Unrealized
losses included in the table above have not been recognized in income since they
have been identified as temporary. The Company evaluates investment securities
for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least quarterly, and more
frequently when economic or market conditions warrant. Consideration is given to
the following:
|
1.
|
the
length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than
cost,
|
|
2.
|
the
financial condition and near-term prospects of the
issuer,
|
|
3.
|
whether
market decline was effected by macroeconomic conditions,
and
|
|
4.
|
whether
the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than
not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated
recovery.
|
The
assessment of whether an OTTI charge exists involves a high degree of
subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to the
Company at a point in time.
Investment
securities classified as available for sale or held-to-maturity are generally
evaluated for OTTI under ASC 320, “Investments-Debt and Equity
Securities”. In determining OTTI under ASC 320 the Company considers many
factors, including those enumerated above. When OTTI occurs, the amount of the
OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether the Company intends to sell the
security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security
before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit
loss. If the Company intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be
required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less
any current-period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal
to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its
fair value at the balance sheet date. If the Company does not intend to sell the
security and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the
security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period
loss, OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and
the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to
the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected
to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI
related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of
applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in
earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.
As of
September 30, 2009, the Company’s investment security portfolio had gross
unrealized losses of $2.9 million. Unrealized losses on corporate debt
securities comprised $2.2 million of the total unrealized loss, an improvement
of $2.1 million from June 30, 2009. Corporate debt securities consist primarily
of single-issuer trust preferred capital securities issued by national and
global financial services firms. 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 during the first half of 2009.
The unrealized loss on corporate debt securities is primarily attributed to the
general decline in financial markets and temporary illiquidity and not due to
adverse changes in the expected cash flows of the individual securities. Overall
market declines, particularly of banking and financial institutions, are a
result of significant stress throughout the regional and national economy that
began during 2008 and has not fully stabilized.
Corporate
debt securities and other securities with unrealized losses held in the
Company’s portfolio at September 30, 2009 are performing according to their
contractual terms. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities
and it is likely that it will not be required to sell these securities before
their anticipated recovery. The Company does not consider any of the securities
to be impaired due to reasons of credit quality or other factors.

9. 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 number of shares of common
stock underlying the warrant will be reduced by half if the Company completes a
qualified equity offering (as defined in the Letter Agreement) on or before
December 31, 2009 whereby the Company receives aggregate gross proceeds of not
less that 100% of the aggregate liquidation preference of the preferred
shares.
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
Company’s 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%.
10. Regulatory
Matters
The
Company and its subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet
minimum capital requirements will result in certain mandatory and possibly
additional discretionary actions by regulators that could have a direct material
effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines
and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, each of the Company’s
banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures
of the banks’ assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and its subsidiary
banks’ capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other
factors.
The
regulatory ratios of the consolidated Company and its subsidiary banks were as
follows for the dates indicated.

In the
summer of 2009 the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (“FRB St. Louis”) conducted
an examination of the Company. Primarily due to the regulatory
actions and capital requirements at three of the Company’s subsidiary banks (as
discussed below), the FRB St. Louis and Kentucky Department of Financial
Institutions (“KDFI”) proposed the Company enter into a Memorandum of
Understanding. The Company’s board approved our entry into the
Memorandum of Understanding at a regular board meeting on October 26,
2009. Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding, the Company
agreed, among other restrictions, that it would proceed with a plan to raise new
capital, reduce the next quarterly common stock dividend from $0.25 per share
down to $0.10 per share and not make interest payments on the Company’s trust
preferred securities or dividends on its common or preferred stock without prior
approval from FRB St. Louis. The Company received approval for both
its regularly scheduled trust preferred payments and dividends on its Series A
Preferred Stock through the end of 2009, as well as its $0.10 per share dividend
on its common stock that was declared on October 26,
2009. Representatives of FRB St. Louis have indicated to the Company
that as long as the Company’s subsidiaries show adequate normalized earnings to
support the quarterly payments on its trust preferred securities and quarterly
dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock and common stock they will provide the
required prior approval.
While
each of the Company’s subsidiary banks was well-capitalized as of September 30,
2009, some of their capital levels have decreased over the past eighteen months
as a result of the economic downturn that began in 2008. As a result
of the turmoil in the banking markets and continued difficulty many banks are
experiencing with their loan portfolios, bank regulatory agencies are
increasingly requiring banks to maintain higher capital reserves as a cushion
for dealing with any further deterioration in their loan
portfolios. The bank regulatory agencies which regulate the Company’s
banks have determined, in the wake of examinations, that the three Company
subsidiaries identified below require capital infusions in order to satisfy
higher regulatory capital ratios.
Farmers
Bank. Farmers Bank was recently the subject of a regularly
scheduled examination by the KDFI which was conducted in mid-September
2009. As a result of this examination, the KDFI and FRB St. Louis
have proposed Farmers Bank enter into a Memorandum of Understanding. The Company
anticipates Farmers Bank will enter such a Memorandum of
Understanding. The proposed Memorandum of Understanding contemplates, among
other things, that Farmers Bank achieve and maintain a Leverage Ratio of at
least 8%, and if it fails to maintain such ratio will provide a plan to increase
capital to that level. On October 6, 2009, the Company injected from
its reserves $11 million in capital into Farmers Bank. Factoring the
new $11 million capital injection into the September 30, 2009 calculation,
Farmers Bank would have a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 7.6% and a Total Risk-Based
Ratio of 15.13%.
Lawrenceburg
Bank. As a result of an examination conducted in March 2009,
on May 15, 2009, The Lawrenceburg Bank & Trust Company (“Lawrenceburg Bank”)
entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the FRB St. Louis and the
KDFI. The Memorandum of Understanding, among other things, requires
Lawrenceburg Bank to achieve and maintain a Leverage Ratio of at least
8%. On October 23, 2009, the Company announced that it is in the
preliminary stages of merging Lawrenceburg Bank into Farmers
Bank. The Company plans to make regulatory application for the merger
in the fourth quarter of 2009 and effect the merger in the first quarter of
2010. In light of the proposed merger of Lawrenceburg Bank into Farmers Bank,
the KDFI and FRB St. Louis have agreed that at this time no additional capital
needs to be infused in Lawrenceburg Bank. At the time of the
planned merger,
however, the Company may be required to inject some additional capital into
Farmers Bank as a result of the merger depending on the level of earnings of
Farmers Bank and Lawrenceburg Bank and changes in their respective loan
classifications between September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2010.
United
Bank. As a result of an examination conducted in late July and
early August of 2009 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”),
the FDIC proposed United Bank enter into a Cease and Desist Order primarily as a
result of its level of non-performing assets. While United Bank
articulated to the FDIC and KDFI its strong objection and disagreement that a
Cease and Desist Order was appropriate (especially given the actions taken by
United Bank prior to the examination to identify and manage its non-performing
assets), United Bank has negotiated certain content and requirements of the
proposed Cease and Desist Order and, as a result, anticipates voluntarily
consenting to the Cease and Desist Order. Among its requirements, the
Cease and Desist Order requires United Bank to achieve (i) leverage ratios of
7.5%, 7.75%, and 8.0% by December 31, 2009, March 31, 2010, and June 30, 2010,
respectively, and (ii) a Total Risk-Based Ratio of 12%
immediately. On October 6, 2009, the Company injected $10.5 million
from its reserves into United Bank. Factoring the new $10.5 million capital
injection into the September 30, 2009 calculation, United Bank would have a Tier
1 Leverage Ratio of 7.46% and a Total Risk-Based Ratio of 13.50%.
The
Company may fund any additional external capital requirements of Farmers Bank,
United Bank or any of its other banking subsidiaries from future public or
private sales of securities at an appropriate time or from existing resources of
the Company, which include, among other things, an anticipated special dividend
in an amount up to $5.0 million from the Company’s subsidiary, First
Citizens.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Third
Quarter 2009 Compared
to Third Quarter 2008
The
Company reported a net loss of $174 thousand or $.09 per common share for the
quarter ended September 30, 2009 compared to a net loss of $6.9 million or $.94
per common share for the quarter ended September 30 a year ago. A summary of the
quarterly comparison follows.
|
§
|
The
$6.7 million or $.85 improvement in per common share earnings in the third
quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008 was heavily impacted
by a pre-tax $14.0 million other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charge
in the third quarter a year ago. The impairment charge related to the
Company’s investment in preferred stocks of the Federal National Mortgage
Association (“Fannie”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(“Freddie”).
|
|
§
|
The
Company increased its provision for loan losses $4.9 million to $6.7
million as economic conditions and real estate markets continue to
negatively impact the Company and its banks’ loan
portfolio.
|
|
§
|
Margin
compression, primarily due to a larger decline in the average rate earned
on earning assets compared to the average rate paid on interest bearing
liabilities, lowered net interest income $1.3 million or 8.6%. Net
interest margin declined to 2.84% in the current quarter compared to 3.27%
in the same quarter a year earlier.
|
|
§
|
Noninterest
income increased $14.4 million, mainly attributed to the $14.0 million
OTTI charge that was recorded in the prior
year.
|
|
§
|
Noninterest
expenses increased $420 thousand or 2.8% due mainly to the increase in
deposit insurance premiums.
|
|
§
|
The
$1.1 million decrease in the income tax benefit between the periods is
mainly attributable to the OTTI charge during the third quarter of
2008.
|
|
§
|
Return
on average assets (“ROA”) and equity (“ROE”) was (.03)% and (.35)% for the
current quarter, respectively, compared to (1.30)% and (16.45)% for the
previous-year quarter.
|
|
§
|
Net
interest spread and margin for the current quarter was 2.61% and 2.84%,
respectively compared to 3.03% and 3.27% a year
earlier.
|
Net Interest Income
The
overall interest rate environment during the third quarter of 2009 has continued
to stabilize when compared to the extreme 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 September 30,
2009 the short-term federal funds target interest rate was between zero and
0.25%, unchanged from December 31, 2008. The yield curve, which began to
increase in each of the first two quarters of 2009, dipped slightly at September
30, 2009 compared to the linked quarter. The 10 and 30-year treasury yields
decreased 23 and 28 basis points in the linked quarter comparison, but were up
109 and 137 basis points at September 30, 2009, compared to year-end 2008.
Shorter-term treasury yields for 3-month, 6-month, and 2-year maturities
declined 7, 17, and 16 basis points in the linked quarter comparison, but since
year-end 2008 have increased 3 and 18 basis points for the 3-month and 2-year
maturities and decreased 9 basis points for the 6-month maturities. The 3-year
and 5-year treasury yields were down 20 and 24 basis points, respectively,
respectively in the linked quarter comparison, but are up 46 and 76 basis points
since year-end 2008.
Net
interest income was $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009,
a decrease of $1.3 million or 8.6% from $14.8 million in the same period a year
earlier. The decrease in net interest income is attributed mainly to a $2.5
million or 8.9% decline in interest income, primarily on loans, that was
partially offset by a $1.2 million or 9.2% decrease in interest expense, mainly
on deposit accounts and short term borrowed funds. The decrease in each of these
line items was driven by overall rate declines, which were driven mainly by
weaker economic conditions in the current quarter compared to a year
earlier.
Interest
income and interest expense related to most 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 $25.4 million in the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of
$2.5 million or 8.9% and was driven by lower interest income on loans of $2.1
million or 9.7%. The average rate earned on loans was 6.0% in the current
quarter, down 59 basis points from 6.6% a year ago. 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 $130 thousand or 66.7% as a 163 basis point
decrease in the average rate earned offset a volume increase of $69.7 million.
Interest on taxable securities decreased $392 thousand or 7.2% which is also
attributed to an 82 basis point lower average rate earned.
Total
interest expense was $11.9 million in the current quarter. This represents a
decrease of $1.2 million or 9.2% compared to $13.1 million a year ago. The
decrease in interest expense was driven by lower interest expense on deposits of
$670 thousand or 7.4%. The average rate paid on all interest bearing deposit
accounts was 2.4% in the current period, a decrease of 45 basis points compared
to 2.8% a year earlier. Interest expense on time deposits, the largest component
of interest expense, declined $77 thousand or 1.0% in the quarterly comparison.
Although the average rate paid on time deposits decreased 70 basis points in the
comparison, the average outstanding balance was up 19.5% compared to a year ago.
The increase in time deposits outstanding is perceived to be mainly a result of
customers that have moved money out of a volatile stock market and into more
stable investments in time deposits. The increase in deposit insurance coverage
generally up to $250 thousand has also had a net positive impact on outstanding
balances of time deposits. Interest expense on savings and interest bearing
demand accounts decreased $392 thousand or 43.8% and $201 thousand or 58.1%,
respectively. Interest expense on short and long-term borrowings decreased $342
thousand or 75.5% and $194 thousand or 5.5%, respectively. The decrease in
interest expense was mainly driven by a lower average rate paid on the Company’s
deposits and borrowings and is attributed to the overall lower interest rate
environment.
The net
interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis decreased 43 basis points to 2.8%
for the third quarter of 2009 compared to 3.3% in the same quarter of
2008. The lower net interest margin is attributed to a 42 basis
point
decrease
in the spread between the average rate earned on earning assets and the average
rate paid on interest bearing liabilities to 2.6% in the current quarter from
3.0% in the same quarter of 2008. The decrease in net interest margin was
impacted mainly by the overall lower interest rate environment. The Company
expects its net interest margin to remain relatively flat or decrease slightly
in the near term due to the maturity structure of its earning assets,
particularly loans, and to a lesser degree, recent purchases of investment
securities at lower market yields and from its funding sources that continue to
reprice downward to reflect the overall lower market interest rate
environment.
Net
interest income for the current three months includes $721 thousand of income
related to the Company’s balance sheet leverage transaction that occurred during
the fourth quarter of 2007. This represents a decrease of $104 thousand or 12.6%
compared to the same three month period in 2008. The leverage transaction
reduced net interest margin by 16 basis points for the current three months
compared to a 27 basis point reduction a year earlier.

following tables present an analysis of net interest income for the quarterly
periods ended September 30.

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 Company’s loan quality has been negatively
impacted by adverse conditions in certain real estate sectors since the downturn
in the overall economy and financial markets that started to take place in late
2007. This has led to declines in real estate values and deterioration in the
financial condition of many of the Company’s borrowers, particularly borrowers
in the commercial and real estate development industry. The Company has, in
turn, lowered its loan quality ratings on various commercial and real estate
development loans as part of its normal internal review process. Declining real
estate values have resulted in several loans of a significant dollar amount that
have become under collateralized, leading to a significant increase in the
Company’s nonperforming loans, net charge-offs, and provision for loan
losses.
The
provision for loan losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was $6.7
million, an increase of $4.9 million compared to $1.8 million for the same
quarter of 2008. Net charge-offs were $5.9 million in the current quarter
compared to $1.1 million a year earlier. On an annualized basis, quarterly net
charge-offs were 1.81% of average loans outstanding for the three months ended
September 30, 2009. This compares to .73% for the second quarter of 2009, .22%
for year-end 2008 and .35% for the three months ended September 30,
2008.
In
general, the provision for loan losses and related allowance increases as the
level of nonperforming and impaired loans, relative to total loans outstanding,
increases. Nonperforming loans were $44.5 million at September 30, 2009,
relatively unchanged compared to $44.3 million at June 30, 2009 and up $19.0
million or 74.7% compared to $25.5 million at year-end 2008. Nonperforming loans
were $24.0 million at September 30 a year earlier. Impaired loans were $99.5
million and $48.4 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
respectively. Impaired loans include loans where full payment under the
contractual terms is not expected and may include those that are currently
performing. As a percentage of loans outstanding (net of unearned income),
nonperforming loans were 3.44%, 3.37%, 1.94% and 1.84% at September 30, 2009,
June 30, 2009, year-end 2008, and September 30 a year ago, respectively. Real
estate development loans continue to dominate the increase in
impaired
loans, which is the primary driver of the higher provision and allowance for
loan losses.
Nonperforming
loans began to rise during the third quarter of 2007, totaling $29.9 million by
the end of the first quarter of 2008. Nonperforming loans then decreased to
$24.0 million at the end of the second quarter of 2008 before gradually
increasing to $29.0 million at March 31, 2009. Nonperforming loans then
increased sharply to $44.3 at June 30, 2009 and at September 30, 2009 totaled
$44.5 million. Although some economic metrics show signs of improvement, the
upward trend in nonperforming loans is driven by overall weaknesses that remain
in the general economy stemming from one of the most severe recessions in many
decades. Certain housing markets are showing signs of stabilizing, but labor
markets continue to be weak and signs of inflation have emerged. For the
Company, economic conditions in recent quarters have resulted in higher stress
in the real estate development portion of its banks’ lending
portfolio.
The
allowance for loan losses was $22.0 million or 1.70% of net loans at September
30, 2009. This compares to $16.8 million or 1.28% of net loans outstanding at
year-end 2008. The allowance was $15.6 million or 1.20% of net loans outstanding
at September 30, 2008. As a percentage of nonperforming loans, the allowance for
loan losses was 49.5%, 66.1%, and 65.1% at September 30, 2009, year-end 2008,
and September 30, a year earlier, respectively.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest
income was $6.5 million for the third quarter of 2009, an increase of $14.4
million compared to ($7.9) million for the same quarter a year ago. Noninterest
income for the third quarter of 2009 includes the pre-tax $14.0 million OTTI
charge related to the Company’s investment in preferred stocks of Fannie and
Freddie. The increase in noninterest income in the quarterly comparison is due
mainly to this event.
Allotment
processing fees increased $156 thousand or 13.0% in the quarterly comparison due
to higher transaction volumes. Net gains on the sale of loans increased $100
thousand or 78.1% due to higher sales volumes helped by low interest rates and
consumer refinancing activity. The Company recorded the sale of its entire
ownership interest in KHL Holdings, LLC during the current quarter for a pre-tax
gain of $185 thousand. KHL Holdings was a joint venture that engaged in the
business of writing credit life and health insurance policies in Kentucky. Data
processing fees increased $80 thousand or 31.0% due mainly to an increase in
transaction volume from the Commonwealth of Kentucky and an upward trend in
unemployment processing items that is a function of the current economic
stress.
Service
charges and fees on deposits decreased $115 thousand or 4.5% due mainly to lower
NSF fees of $97 thousand which were relatively flat or declined in many of the
Company’s market and correlates to lower transaction volumes. Trust income
declined $141 thousand or 26.4% in the quarterly comparison. Trust fees have
declined mainly due to a decrease in the balance of managed accounts which
serves as a key component of the revenue base for collecting fees on such
accounts.
Noninterest Expense
Total
noninterest expenses were $15.3 million for the third quarter of 2009, up $420
thousand or 2.8% compared to the third quarter of 2008. Salaries and employee
benefits, the largest component of noninterest expenses, was unchanged at $7.4
million. Higher benefit costs of $209 thousand or 16.6% were offset by lower
salary and related payroll taxes of $210 thousand or 3.4%. The average number of
full time equivalent employees decreased to 561 in the current quarter from 580
in the same quarter a year earlier
Deposit
insurance expense increased $591 thousand in the three months ended September
30, 2009 compared to the same three months of 2008. The increase in deposit
insurance expense in the current quarter is due mainly to the Company’s ability
to offset a portion of its expense during 2008 with a one-time assessment credit
it received during 2006. These credits have now been exhausted. Net occupancy
expenses are up $68 thousand or 6.0% due to an overall increase in the number of
properties used in the Company’s business operations.
Significant
decreases in noninterest expense line items include intangible amortization of
$163 thousand or 25.0% and lower data processing and communications expenses of
$65 thousand or 4.6%. Amortization of intangible assets, which relate to
customer lists and core deposits from prior acquisitions, decreased 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. Data processing and communications expenses
decreased due to cost savings realized by switching certain processing
transactions from paper to image items and a combination of implementing other
cost saving initiatives at the Company’s data processing
subsidiary.
Income Taxes
The
Company had an income tax benefit for the third quarter of 2009 in the amount of
$1.7 million compared to an income tax benefit of $2.9 million in the third
quarter a year ago. The $1.1 million decrease between the periods is mainly
attributable to the $14.0 million pre-tax OTTI charge during the third quarter
of 2008.
First Nine Months of 2009
Compared to First Nine Months of 2008
Net
income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $2.3 million or $.13 per
common share compared to $2.4 million or $.32 per common share for the same nine
months a year earlier. A summary of the nine-month comparison
follows.
|
§
|
Net
income decreased $61 thousand or 2.6% in the nine-month comparison. Per
common share earnings decreased $.19 or 59.4% in the comparison due mainly
to the impact of preferred stock dividends and related accretion, which
did not exist in the prior year.
|
|
§
|
The
provision for loan losses increased $10.9 million in the current nine
months and is attributed to a sharp increase in nonperforming loans,
primarily nonaccrual loans secured by real estate
developments.
|
|
§
|
Net
interest margin declined 42 basis points to 2.91% in the current nine
months compared to 3.33% a year earlier. The decrease in margin was driven
by a decline in the average rate earned on earning assets, which outpaced
the drop in the average interest rate paid on interest bearing
liabilities.
|
|
§
|
Noninterest
income increased $16.4 million driven mainly by the $14.0 million OTTI
charge that was recorded in the prior nine months and higher investment
securities gains of $1.5 million in the current nine
months.
|
|
§
|
Noninterest
expenses increased $2.9 million or 6.7% due mainly to the increase in
deposit insurance.
|
|
§
|
Income
taxes positively impacted net income by $1.1 million due to an increase in
tax-exempt investments in 2009 compared to 2008 as well as expected
decreased annual pre-tax net income in
2009.
|
|
§
|
ROA
and ROE was .14% and 1.58%, respectively in the current nine months. This
represents a decrease of 1 basis point in ROA and 29 basis points in ROE
compared to the same period a year
ago.
|
|
§
|
Net
interest spread and margin for the current nine months was 2.66% and
2.91%, respectively compared to 3.06% and 3.33% a year
ago.
|
Net Interest
Income
Net
interest income was $41.1 million for the first nine months of 2009, a decrease
of $3.7 million or 8.3% from $44.9 million for the same period during 2008. The
decrease in net interest income is attributed mainly to a $7.5 million or 11.3%
decline in interest income on loans that was partially offset by a $4.2 million
or 14.2% decrease in interest expense on deposit accounts. The decrease in both
of these line items was driven by overall interest rate declines, which offset
the effect on net interest income as a result of increases in loan volume and
certain deposit accounts. Rate declines were driven mainly by overall economic
conditions.
Interest
income and interest expense related to nearly all of the Company’s earning
assets and interest paying liabilities have declined in the nine-month
comparison. These declines are due almost entirely to the lower interest rate
environment in the current period compared to a year earlier. In general, the
Company is 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
a current lower overall interest rate environment. Interest income from
nontaxable investment securities and interest from deposits in other banks were
the only major categories of earning assets to experience an increase in the
comparison. These increases are the result of an higher outstanding balances.
The amount of interest income from these two categories, however, is relatively
minor in relation to total interest income.
Total
interest income was $77.2 million in the first nine months of 2009, a decrease
of $9.7 million or 11.2% due mainly to lower interest income on loans of $7.5
million or 11.3%. The average rate earned on loans was 6.0% in the current nine
months, a decrease of 83 basis points from 6.9% a year earlier. Interest income
from deposits held
in other
banks and federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell
decreased $820 thousand or 78.2% due to a 221 basis point decrease in the
average rate earned that offset a volume increase of $72.0 million. Interest on
taxable securities decreased $1.7 million or 9.8% led by a 69 basis point
decrease in the average rate earned. Interest on nontaxable securities increased
$238 thousand or 9.7% due to an increase in the average outstanding balance of
$9.5 million or 10.8%
Total
interest expense was $36.0 million for the current nine months. This represents
a decrease of $6.0 million or 14.3% compared to $42.1 million for the same
period a year ago. The decrease in interest expense was driven by lower interest
expense on deposits of $4.2 million or 14.2%. The average rate paid on deposit
accounts was 2.4% in the current nine months, a decrease of 62 basis points
compared to 3.1% a year earlier. Interest expense on time deposits, the largest
component of interest expense, declined $2.0 million or 7.7% in the comparison.
Interest expense on savings and interest bearing demand accounts decreased $1.3
million or 47.3% and $941 thousand or 61.9%, respectively. Interest expense on
short and long-term borrowings decreased $1.3 million or 78.3% and $524 thousand
or 4.9%, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was mainly driven by a
lower average rate paid on the Company’s deposits and borrowings and is
attributed to the overall lower interest rate environment.
The net
interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis decreased 42 basis points to 2.9%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 3.3% for the same
period of 2008. The lower net interest margin is attributed to a 40
basis point decrease in the spread between the average rate earned on earning
assets and the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities to 2.7% in the
current nine months from 3.1% in the same nine-month period of 2008. The
decrease in net interest margin was impacted mainly by the overall lower
interest rate environment. The Company expects its net interest margin to remain
relatively flat or decrease slightly in the near term due to the maturity
structure of its earning assets, particularly loans, and to a lesser degree,
recent purchases of investment securities at lower market yields and from its
funding sources that continue to reprice downward to reflect the overall lower
market interest rate environment.
Net
interest income for the current nine months includes $2.6 million related to the
Company’s balance sheet leverage transaction that occurred during the fourth
quarter of 2007, unchanged from the same nine month period of 2008. The leverage
transaction reduced net interest margin by 14 basis points for the current nine
months compared to a 25 basis point reduction a year earlier.

following tables present an analysis of net interest income for the six months
ended September 30.

Provision and Allowance for
Loan Losses
The
provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $14.3
million, an increase of $10.9 million compared to $3.4 million for the same
period of 2008. Net charge-offs were $9.1 million in the current period compared
to $2.0 million a year ago. On an annualized basis, net charge-offs were .92% of
average loans outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This
compares to .48% for the first six months of 2009, .21% for year-end 2008 and
..20% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The nine months ended
September 30, 2008 includes an unusually large recovery of $828
thousand.
In
general, the provision for loan losses and related allowance increases as the
level of nonperforming and impaired loans, relative to total loans outstanding,
increases. Nonperforming loans were $44.5 million at September 30, 2009, an
increase from $25.5 million at year-end 2008 or a 74.7% increase. Nonperforming
loans were $24.0 million at September 30, 2008, an increase of $2.9 million or
13.9% in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. Impaired loans were
$99.5 million and $48.4 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
respectively. Impaired loans include loans where full payment under the
contractual terms is not expected and may include those that are currently
performing. As a percentage of loans outstanding (net of unearned income),
nonperforming loans were 3.44%, 1.94% and 1.84% at September 30,
2009, year-end 2008, and September 30 a year ago, respectively. Real
estate development lending continues to dominate the increase in impaired loans,
which is the primary driver of the higher provision and allowance for loan
losses.
Nonperforming
loans began to rise during the third quarter of 2007, totaling $29.9 million by
the end of the first quarter of 2008. Nonperforming loans then decreased to
$24.0 million at the end of the second quarter of 2008 before gradually
increasing to $29.0 million at March 31, 2009. Nonperforming loans then
increased sharply to $44.3 at June 30, 2009 and at September 30, 2009 totaled
$44.5 million. Although some economic metrics show signs of improvement, the
upward trend in nonperforming loans is driven by overall weaknesses that remain
in the general economy stemming from one of the most severe recessions in many
decades. Certain housing markets are showing signs of stabilizing, but labor
markets continue to be weak and signs of inflation have emerged. For the
Company, economic conditions in recent quarters have resulted in higher stress
in the real estate development portion of its lending portfolio.
The
allowance for loan losses was $22.0 million or 1.70% of net loans at September
30, 2009. This compares to $16.8 million or 1.28% of net loans outstanding at
year-end 2008. At September 30, 2008 the allowance was $15.6 million or 1.20% of
net loans outstanding. As a percentage of nonperforming loans, the allowance for
loan losses was 49.5%, 66.1%, and 65.1% at September 30, 2009, year-end 2008,
and September 30, a year earlier, respectively.
Noninterest
Income
Noninterest
income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $21.1 million, an
increase of $16.4 million compared to the same nine months a year earlier. The
increase in noninterest income is due mainly to the $14.0 million OTTI charge
that was recorded as a reduction in noninterest income during the third quarter
of 2008. Higher net gains on the sale of investment securities of $1.5 million,
higher net gains from the sale of loans of $565 thousand, an increase in
allotment processing fees of $472 thousand or 13.4%, and higher data processing
fees of $156 thousand or 18.5% were the primary reasons for the increase in
noninterest income. The Company also recorded the sale of its entire ownership
interest in KHL Holdings, LLC during the third quarter of 2009 for a pre-tax
gain of $185 thousand. KHL Holdings was a joint venture that engaged in the
business of writing credit life and health insurance policies in
Kentucky.
The
increase in net gains on the sale of investment securities is attributed to
higher sales activity in the current year and refinements in the makeup of the
investment securities portfolio. The Company recorded gains by selling certain
investment securities in the current year. This was done after carefully
considering the makeup of the investment portfolio, the current economic
environment, reinvestment of proceeds and future impact on net interest margin,
and other asset/liability management considerations.
The
increase in net gains on the sale of loans is attributed to higher sales volumes
helped by the low interest rate environment and consumer refinancing activity.
The increase in allotment processing fees is a result of increased transaction
volumes. Higher data processing fees are primarily related to an increase in
transaction volume from the Commonwealth of Kentucky and an upward trend in
processing unemployment-related items.
Service
charges and fees on deposits decreased $457 thousand or 6.2%, driven by lower
NSF fees of $415 thousand and experienced throughout most of the Company’s
market areas and a result of lower volumes. Trust income decreased $154 thousand
or 9.7%, due mainly to an overall decline in managed-account balances, which
serves as a key part of the revenue base for collecting fees on these
accounts.
Noninterest
Expense
Total
noninterest expenses were $46.6 million for the first nine months of 2009, an
increase of $2.9 million or 6.7% compared to the same period of 2008. Salaries
and employee benefits, the largest component of noninterest expenses, decreased
$234 thousand or 1.0% and totaled $22.3 million as the average number of full
time equivalent employees decreased to 564 from 577. Salary and related payroll
taxes decreased $553 thousand or 3.0% and correlates with employee reductions.
Benefit costs increased $321 thousand or 8.3% due to higher claims related to
the Company’s self-funded insurance plan.
Deposit
insurance expense was $2.9 million for the first nine months of 2009, an
increase of $2.6 million compared to the same period in 2008. The increase in
deposit insurance is due in part to a special assessment imposed by the FDIC
during the current period as part of its plan to replenish the Deposit Insurance
Fund. The special assessment accounted for $1.1 million of the increase in
deposit insurance for the current year. In addition, deposit insurance expense
for 2008 was low as a result of the Company’s ability to offset a portion of its
expense with a one-time assessment credit it received during 2006. There are no
credits remaining to offset future assessments.
Intangible
amortization expense decreased $488 thousand or 25.0% in the nine-month
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 $585 thousand or
17.5%,
data processing and communications expense increases of $208 thousand or 5.2%,
and bank franchise tax increases of $230 thousand or 15.6%. The increase in net
occupancy expense is due mainly to increased depreciation and rent and
correlates to a higher number of properties used in the Company’s business.
Higher data processing and communication expenses are mainly a function of
higher processing volumes. The increase in bank franchise tax expense is mainly
a result of a higher taxable base and, to a lesser extent, a partial refund
received during 2008 of amounts previously paid.
Income
Taxes
The
Company recorded an income tax benefit of $951 thousand for the first nine
months of 2009 compared to income tax expense of $186 thousand in the first nine
months of 2008. The change in the Company’s income tax position in the nine
month comparison positively impacted net income by $1.1 million and was a result
of an increase in tax-exempt investments in the current period compared to a
year earlier as well as lower expected annual pre-tax income for
2009.
FINANCIAL
CONDITION
Total
assets were $2.3 billion at September 30, 2009, an increase of $71.1 million or
3.2% from the prior year-end. The increase in assets is primarily related to
higher cash and equivalents of $45.5 million and a net increase in investment
securities of $55.5 million or 10.4%. Loans, net of unearned income, declined
$18.2 million or 1.4% as the allowance for loan losses increased $5.2 million or
30.9%.
Total
liabilities were $2.1 billion at September 30, 2009, an increase of $40.6
million or 2.0% compared to December 31, 2008. Deposits increased $71.3 million
or 4.5%. Net borrowed funds, primarily short-term obligations, decreased $34.0
million or 8.2%. Shareholders’ equity increased $30.4 million or 18.1% to $199
million at the end of the period due mainly to the additional capital raised
from the Company’s issuance of $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 during the first quarter of 2009 and to the overall net funding
position of the Company. The Company maintains a cautious and measured lending
strategy with tighter loan underwriting standards as a result of one of the most
severe recessions in many decades. While economic data is beginning to improve
by some measures, the overall economy 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 as daily deposit balances fluctuate significantly as a result of the
Farmers Bank’s relationship with the Commonwealth.
On an
average basis, total assets were $2.3 billion for the first nine months of 2009,
an increase of $117 million or 5.5% from year-end 2008. The increase in average
assets is attributed mainly to higher earning asset balances of $99.9 million or
5.3%. Average temporary investments increased $63.6 million or 97.1% from
year-end 2008. Average investment securities were up $25.6 million or 5.0%.
Average loans increased $10.8 million or .8% compared to the average year-end
balance. Deposits averaged $1.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30,
2009, an increase of $96.3 million or 6.3% from the prior year-end. Time
deposits, the largest portion of total deposits, increased $102 million or
12.8%. Average earning assets were 87.8% of total average assets for the first
nine months of 2009 compared to 88.0% at year-end 2008.
Temporary Investments
Temporary
investments are comprised of interest bearing deposits in other banks and
federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell. The
Company uses these funds to manage liquidity and interest rate sensitivity. At
September 30, 2009, temporary investments were $151 million, an increase of
$48.0 million or 46.6% compared to $103 million at year-end 2008.
Temporary
investments averaged $129 million during the first nine months of 2009, an
increase of $63.6 million or 97.1% from year-end 2008. The increase is a result
of the Company’s overall net funding position, which was helped by the $30.0
million additional capital raised from issuing preferred stock to the Treasury
during the first quarter of 2009. In addition, net funds available from deposit
accounts, loan principal payments, and net proceeds from matured, called, or
sold investment securities 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. However, the overall weak economy has
limited the attractiveness of many longer-term asset investments.
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 $14.3 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 $2.4 million. 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 during
the first half of 2009. The Company does not intend to sell these securities nor
does the Company believe it will be required to sell these securities prior to
recovering its amortized cost. The Company 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 $592 million on September 30, 2009, an increase of
$55.5 million or 10.4% compared to $536 million at year-end 2008. Net amortized
cost amounts were up $48.9 million or 9.2% due to purchasing activity with the
remaining increase attributed to net higher market values adjustments of $6.6
million related to investments carried in the available for sale portfolio. The
$6.6 million higher market values of the available for sale investment
securities portfolio is attributed in part to the net increase in outstanding
balances from purchasing activity. These purchases, along with the related fair
market value adjustments, did not exist at year-end 2008. In addition, an
overall decline in market interest rates, particularly in longer-term
maturities, between the second and third quarter of 2009 helped to increase the
market value of the available for sale investment securities.
Gross
unrealized losses totaling $2.9 million at September 30, 2009 within the
Company’s investment securities portfolio have not been included in income since
they are identified as temporary. The Company does not intend to sell these
securities nor does the Company believe it will be required to sell these
securities prior to recovering its amortized cost. 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 income, were $1.3 billion at September 30, 2009, a decrease of
$18.2 million or 1.4% 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 66.3% of earning assets during the current nine-month
period, a decrease of 295 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 increase in short-term temporary investments. This is driven by tighter
credit markets, 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, restructured 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 $44.5 million at September 30, 2009. This represents an increase of
$19.0 million or 74.7% compared to year-end 2008, but is relatively unchanged
compared to $44.3 million at June 30, 2009. The overall economic downturn
continues to hinder the Company’s efforts to reduce its level of nonperforming
loans and assets. Nonperforming loans were as follows at September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008.

The $34.7
million nonaccrual loans outstanding at September 30, 2009 is comprised mainly
of 14 credits totaling $24.9 million, substantially all of which is secured by
real estate. Restructured loans that are in compliance with their modified terms
were $6.4 million at September 30, 2009. This amount represents two loans to a
related group of borrowers secured by a common residential real estate
development. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest
decreased $487 thousand compared to year-end 2008, but were down $6.2 million
compared to June 30, 2009. The decline in the linked quarters is due mainly to
$4.4 million that was previously classified as past due 90 days or more and
still accruing interest that is now included as restructured. The Company
actively monitors and evaluates its past due loans. Loans past due 90 days or
more remain on accrual status only when they are well secured as to both
principle and interest and in the process of collection.
Other Real
Estate
Other
real estate owned (“OREO”) includes real estate properties acquired by the
Company through foreclosure. At September 30, 2009 OREO was $19.7 million, an
increase of $5.3 million or 36.7% compared to $14.4 million at year-end 2008.
The net increase in OREO during the current nine-month period is attributed
mainly to the
Company
taking possession of real estate property securing four different credits
totaling $4.4 million and is the result of the economic environment that
continues to be very challenging to a broad range of industry
sectors.

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 that is perceived
to be mainly 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 $379 million at September 30, 2009, a decrease of $34.0
million or 8.2% from $413 million at year-end 2008. Long-term borrowings
decreased $6.1 million or 2.1% due mainly to maturing FHLB advances. Short-term
borrowings decreased $28.0 million or 36.1% as a result of a lower outstanding
amount of securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $24.5 million.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase related to activities with the
Commonwealth account for $11.0 million of the decrease. Other declines in
securities sold under agreement to repurchase are mainly attributed to lower
correspondent banking activity and other general market conditions. In addition
short-term borrowings from the FHLB declined $3.5 million as a result of
scheduled maturities. These sources of short-term funding fluctuate as the
overall net funding position of the Company changes and, in terms of
transactions with the Commonwealth, can fluctuate significantly on a daily
basis.
LIQUIDITY
The
Parent Company’s primary use of cash consists of dividend payments to its common
and preferred shareholders, 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 September 30, 2009 combined retained earnings of the
Company’s subsidiary banks was $47.0 million, of which $5.5 million was
available for the payment of dividends to the Parent Company without obtaining
prior approval from bank regulatory agencies. Payment of future
dividends is also subject to the maintenance of certain capital ratio
requirements imposed by regulators, which may further restrict the subsidiary
banks from paying dividends to the Parent Company.
The
Parent Company previously had a one-year $15.0 million unsecured line of credit
with an unrelated financial institution available for general corporate
purposes. This line of credit had no outstanding balance when it matured in June
2009.
The
Parent Company had cash balances of $6.9 million at September 30, 2009, an
increase of $2.6 million or 61.3% from $4.3 million at year-end 2008. In
addition, the Parent Company has $20.0 million invested in a short-term
securities purchased under agreement to resell (“reverse repo”) contract that
matured on October 1, 2009. Significant cash flows during the current nine-month
period for the Parent Company include the following: proceeds from issuing
preferred stock of $30.0 million; dividends received from Kentucky General of
$2.4 million; management fees received from subsidiaries of $2.2 million; net
purchases of short-term reverse repo of $20.0 million; payment of dividends to
common and preferred shareholders of $7.0 million; interest payments on borrowed
funds of $1.7 million; and a $1.0 million capital injection into a bank
subsidiary.
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 September 30, 2009 the Company had approximately
$187 million in additional borrowing capacity under various FHLB, federal funds,
Federal Reserve, 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.
The Company’s liquidity position at September 30, 2009 has increased relative to
year-end 2008 and is driven mainly by the current overall economic environment
that has made the investment in longer-term assets less attractive and somewhat
limited.
Liquid
assets consist of cash, cash equivalents, and available for sale investment
securities. At September 30, 2009, consolidated liquid assets were
$827 million, an increase of $102 million or 14.0% from year-end
2008. The increase in liquid assets is attributed to a $45.7 million
and $56.1 million increase in cash and equivalents and available for sale
investment securities, respectively. The increase in liquid assets 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 first quarter.
Net cash
provided by operating activities was $28.8 million in the first nine months of
2009, an increase of $13.9 million or 93.4% compared to $14.9 million for the
same period a year earlier. Net cash used in investing activities was $43.7
million in the current year, up $27.8 million compared to $15.9 million a year
ago. The increase in net cash used in investing activities is mainly due to a
$56.6 million higher net outflow related to investment securities transactions
partially offset by lower net loans originated for investment of $26.5 million
and lower cash outflows related to the purchase of premises and equipment of
$6.0 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $60.4 million in the
current nine months, a decrease of $26.8 million or 30.8% compared to $87.2
million in the same nine-month period a year ago. The decrease in net cash
provided by financing activities in the current period was driven mainly by
borrowing activity, primarily net repayment of short-term borrowed funds. Net
borrowings declined $34.0 million in the current nine months. In the same
nine-month period of 2008, net borrowed funds increased $22.0 million. The $56.0
million decrease in cash provided by financing activities related to borrowed
funds was partially offset by the receipt of $30.0 million from the Company’s
issuance of preferred stock to the Treasury during the current
year.
During
September 2009, the FDIC proposed a Deposit Insurance Fund restoration plan
requiring banks to prepay three years of premiums on December 30, 2009. Under
the proposal, this payment would include a bank’s estimated quarterly risk-based
assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011, and 2012.
Certain banks with liquidity problems would be subject to exceptions from the
plan. The Company estimates that in the aggregate, its subsidiary banks will be
required to pay approximately $15.3 million in cash to the FDIC on December 30,
2009 under the plan if it is approved as proposed. Earnings would not be
immediately impacted since the cash payment would be accounted for as a
prepayment and recorded as an asset. Rather, earnings would
be
negatively impacted over a three-year period as the Company records an expense
for its regular quarterly assessment with an offsetting credit to the prepaid
asset until the asset is exhausted.
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
Company
Shareholders’
equity was $199 million on September 30, 2009, an increase of $30.4 million or
18.1% 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 number
of shares of common stock underlying the warrant will be reduced by half if the
Company completes a qualified equity offering (as defined in the Letter
Agreement) on or before December 31, 2009 whereby the Company receives aggregate
gross proceeds of not less that 100% of the aggregate liquidation preference of
the preferred shares.
The
non-voting Series A preferred shares issued, with a liquidation preference of $1
thousand per share, 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.
Retained
earnings were $112 million at September 30, 2009, a decrease of $4.5 million or
3.9% compared to $116 million at year-end 2008. The decrease in retained
earnings is attributed to common and preferred stock dividends declared of $6.6
million partially offset by net income of $2.3 million.
On
October 16, 2009 the Company filed a proxy statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with a special meeting of Company
shareholders to be held November 12, 2009 at which shareholders of the Company
will consider and vote upon an amendment to the Company’s articles of
incorporation. The proposed amendment, if approved, would increase the number of
authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 9,608,000 to 14,608,000
shares. The purpose of the amendment is to ensure that the Company has
sufficient authorized and unissued shares available to raise additional capital
at an appropriate time and provide additional authorized and unissued shares for
future purposes. Additional capital the Company may raise in the future could be
used for (1) capital infusions into certain of the Company’s subsidiary banks
deemed appropriate by management of the Company and banking regulators (see
“Company Subsidiaries” below), (2) repaying the investment previously made by
the United States Treasury in the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock under its
TARP Capital Purchase Program, and (3) general corporate purposes.
On
October 9, 2009 the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the
SEC that became effective on October 19, 2009. As part of that filing, equity
securities of the Company of up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $70
million could be offered for sale in one or more public or private offerings at
an appropriate time. Net proceeds from the sale of securities under
the registration statement could be used for any corporate purpose determined by
the Company’s board of directors.
At
September 30, 2009 the Company’s tangible capital ratio was 6.36% compared to
5.08% at year-end 2008. The increase in the tangible capital ratio reflects the
Company’s participation in the CPP in early 2009 as discussed above. The
tangible capital ratio is defined as tangible equity as a percentage of tangible
assets. This ratio excludes amounts related to goodwill and other intangible
assets. Tangible common equity to tangible assets, which further excludes
outstanding preferred stock, was 5.08% at September 30, 2009 compared to 4.83%
at June 30, 2009 and 5.08% at year-end 2008.
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 September 30, 2009
and the regulatory minimums are as follows.

In the
summer of 2009 the FRB St. Louis conducted an examination of the
Company. Primarily due to the regulatory actions and capital
requirements at three of the Company’s subsidiary banks (see “Company
Subsidiaries” below), the FRB St. Louis and KDFI proposed the Company enter into
a Memorandum of Understanding. The Company’s board approved our entry
into the Memorandum of Understanding at a regular board meeting on October 26,
2009. Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding, the Company
agreed, among other restrictions, that it would proceed with a plan to raise new
capital, reduce the next quarterly common stock dividend from $0.25 per share
down to $0.10 per share and not make interest payments on the Company’s trust
preferred securities or dividends on its common or preferred stock without prior
approval from FRB St. Louis. The Company received approval for both
its regularly scheduled trust preferred payments and dividends on its Series A
Preferred Stock through the end of 2009, as well as its $0.10 per share dividend
on its common stock that was declared on October 26,
2009. Representatives of FRB St. Louis have indicated to the Company
that as long as the Company’s subsidiaries show adequate normalized earnings to
support the quarterly payments on its trust preferred securities and quarterly
dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock and common stock they will provide the
required prior approval.
Company
Subsidiaries
The
Company’s subsidiary banks are subject to capital-based regulatory requirements
which place banks in one of five categories based upon their capital levels and
other supervisory criteria. These five categories are: (1) well
capitalized, (2) adequately capitalized, (3) under capitalized, (4)
significantly under capitalized, and (5) critically under
capitalized. To be well-capitalized, a bank must have a Tier 1
leverage capital ratio (“Leverage Ratio”) of
at least 5% and a total risk-based capital ratio (“Risk-Based Ratio”) of
at least 10%.1 As of September 30, 2009, the
Company’s five subsidiary banks had the following capital ratios for regulatory
purposes:

While
each of the Company’s subsidiary banks was well-capitalized as of September 30,
2009, some of their capital levels have decreased over the past eighteen months
as a result of the economic downturn that began in 2008. As a result
of the turmoil in the banking markets and continued difficulty many banks are
experiencing with their loan portfolios, bank regulatory agencies are
increasingly requiring banks to maintain higher capital reserves as a cushion
for dealing with any further deterioration in their loan portfolios. The bank
regulatory agencies which regulate our banks have determined, in the wake of
examinations, that the three Company subsidiaries identified below require
capital infusions in order to satisfy higher regulatory capital
ratios.

The
Leverage Ratio is computed by dividing a bank’s Total Capital, as defined
by regulation, by its total average
assets.
|
|
The
Risk-Based Ratio is computed by dividing a bank’s Total Capital, as
defined by regulation, by a risk-weighted sum of the bank's assets, with
the risk weighting determined by general standards established by
regulation. The safest assets (e.g., government
obligations) are assigned a weighting of 0% with riskier assets receiving
higher ratings (e.g., ordinary
commercial loans are assigned a weighting of
100%).
|
Farmers
Bank. Farmers Bank was recently the subject of a regularly
scheduled examination by the KDFI which was conducted in mid-September
2009. As a result of this examination, the KDFI and FRB St. Louis
have proposed Farmers Bank enter into a Memorandum of Understanding. The Company
anticipates Farmers Bank will enter such a Memorandum of
Understanding. The Proposed Memorandum of Understanding contemplates,
among other things, that Farmers Bank achieve and maintain a Leverage Ratio of
at least 8%, and if it fails to maintain such ratio will present a capital plan
to reach that level. On October 6, 2009, the Company injected from
its reserves $11 million in capital into Farmers Bank. Factoring the
new $11 million capital injection into the September 30, 2009 calculation,
Farmers Bank would have a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 7.6% and a Total Risk-Based
Ratio of 15.13%.
Lawrenceburg
Bank. As a result of an examination conducted in March 2009 of
this year, on May 15, 2009, Lawrenceburg Bank entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding with the FRB St. Louis and the KDFI. The Memorandum of
Understanding, among other things, requires Lawrenceburg Bank to achieve and
maintain a Leverage Ratio of at least 8%. On October 23, 2009, the
Company announced that it is in the preliminary stages of merging Lawrenceburg
Bank into Farmers Bank. The Company plans to make regulatory
application for the merger in the fourth quarter of 2009 and effect the merger
in the first quarter of 2010. In light of the proposed merger of Lawrenceburg
Bank into Farmers Bank, the KDFI and FRB St. Louis have agreed that at this time
no additional capital needs to be infused in Lawrenceburg Bank. At
the time of the planned merger, however, the Company may be required to inject
some additional capital into Farmers Bank as a result of the merger depending on
the level of earnings of Farmers Bank and Lawrenceburg Bank and changes in their
respective loan classifications between September 30, 2009 and March 31,
2010.
United
Bank. As a result of an examination conducted in late July and
early August of 2009 by the FDIC, the FDIC proposed United Bank enter into a
Cease and Desist Order primarily as a result of its level of non-performing
assets. While United Bank articulated to the FDIC and KDFI its strong
objection and disagreement that a Cease and Desist Order was appropriate
(especially given the actions taken by United Bank prior to the examination to
identify and manage its non-performing assets), United Bank has negotiated some
of the content and requirements of the Cease and Desist Order and, as a result,
anticipates voluntarily consenting to the Cease and Desist
Order. Among its requirements, the proposed Cease and Desist Order
requires United Bank to achieve (i) leverage ratios of 7.5%, 7.75%, and 8.0%, by
December 31, 2009, March 31, 2010, and June 30, 2010, respectively, and (ii) a
Total Risk-Based Ratio of 12% immediately. On October 6, 2009, the
Company injected $10.5 million from its reserves into United
Bank. Factoring the new $10.5 million capital injection into the
September 30, 2009 calculation, United Bank would have a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio
of 7.46% and a Total Risk-Based Ratio of 13.50%.
The
Company may fund any additional external capital requirements of Farmers Bank,
United Bank or the Company’s other bank subsidiaries from future public or
private sales of securities at an appropriate time or from existing resources of
the Company, which include, among other things, an anticipated special dividend
in an amount up to $5.0 million from the Company’s subsidiary, First Citizens
Bank.
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
September 30, 2009, the model indicated that if rates were to gradually increase
by 75 basis points during the remainder of the calendar year, then net interest
income and net income would increase .1% and .7%, 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 75 basis points over
the same period, then net interest income and net income would decrease .1% and
..8%, respectively.
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
September 30, 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
As of
September 30, 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.
See
discussion under Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Capital Resources” respecting
contemplated proceedings related to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’
regulators during the third quarter of 2009, which is incorporated under this
Part II, Item 1 by reference.
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 September 30, 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.
