PART I

Item 1.  Business
 
Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (“CTBI”) is a bank holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.  CTBI was incorporated August 12, 1980, under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky for the purpose of becoming a bank holding company.  At December 31, 2009, CTBI owned all the capital stock of one commercial bank and one trust company, serving small and mid-sized communities in eastern, northeastern, central, and south central Kentucky and southern West Virginia.  The commercial bank is Community Trust Bank, Inc., Pikeville, Kentucky (the “Bank”) and the trust company is Community Trust and Investment Company, Lexington, Kentucky (the “Trust Company”).  At December 31, 2009, CTBI had total consolidated assets of $3.1 billion and total consolidated deposits, including repurchase agreements, of $2.6 billion, making it the second largest bank holding company headquartered in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
 
Through its subsidiaries, CTBI engages in a wide range of commercial and personal banking and trust activities, which include accepting time and demand deposits; making secured and unsecured loans to corporations, individuals and others; providing cash management services to corporate and individual customers; issuing letters of credit; renting safe deposit boxes; and providing funds transfer services.  The lending activities of our Bank include making commercial, construction, mortgage, and personal loans.  Lease-financing, lines of credit, revolving lines of credit, term loans, and other specialized loans, including asset-based financing, are also available.  Our corporate subsidiaries act as trustees of personal trusts, as executors of estates, as trustees for employee benefit trusts, as registrars, transfer agents, and paying agents for bond and stock issues, as depositories for securities, and as providers of full service brokerage services.

COMPETITION
 
CTBI’s subsidiaries face substantial competition for deposit, credit, trust, and brokerage relationships in the communities we serve.  Competing providers include state banks, national banks, thrifts, trust companies, insurance companies, mortgage banking operations, credit unions, finance companies, brokerage companies, and other financial and non-financial companies which may offer products functionally equivalent to those offered by our subsidiaries.  Many of these providers offer services within and outside the market areas served by our subsidiaries.  We strive to offer competitively priced products along with quality customer service to build customer relationships in the communities we serve.
 
Recently, the United States and global markets, as well as general economic conditions, have been disruptive and volatile.  Some financial institutions have failed and others have been forced to seek acquisition partners.  Larger financial institutions, some of whom may benefit from partial nationalization, could strengthen their competitive position as a result of ongoing consolidation within the financial services industry.
 
Since July 1989, banking legislation in Kentucky places no limits on the number of banks or bank holding companies that a bank holding company may acquire.  Interstate acquisitions are allowed where reciprocity exists between the laws of Kentucky and the home state of the bank or bank holding company to be acquired.  Bank holding companies continue to be limited to control of less than 15% of deposits held by banks in the states where they do business (exclusive of inter-bank and foreign deposits).
 
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the “GLB Act”) has expanded the permissible activities of a bank holding company.  The GLB Act allows qualifying bank holding companies to elect to be treated as financial holding companies.  A financial holding company may engage in activities that are financial in nature or are incidental or complementary to financial activities.  We have not yet elected to be treated as a financial holding company.  The GLB Act also eliminated restrictions imposed by the Glass-Steagall Financial Services Law, adopted in the 1930s, which prevented banking, insurance, and securities firms from fully entering each other’s business.  This legislation has resulted in further consolidation in the financial services industry.  In addition, removal of these restrictions has increased the number of entities providing banking services and thereby created additional competition.

No material portion of our business is seasonal.  We are not dependent upon any one customer or a few customers, and the loss of any one or a few customers would not have a material adverse effect on us.  See note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding concentrations of credit.

We do not engage in any operations in foreign countries.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2009, CTBI and subsidiaries had 982 full-time equivalent employees.  Our employees are provided with a variety of employee benefits.  A retirement plan, an employee stock ownership plan, group life insurance, major medical insurance, a cafeteria plan, and annual management and employee incentive compensation plans are available to eligible personnel.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
 
We, as a registered bank holding company, are restricted to those activities permissible under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and are subject to actions of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System thereunder.  We are required to file an annual report with the Federal Reserve Board and are subject to an annual examination by the Board.
 
Our Bank is a state-chartered bank subject to state and federal banking laws and regulations and periodic examination by the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions and the restrictions, including dividend restrictions, thereunder.  Our Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve System and is subject to certain restrictions imposed by and to examination and supervision under the Federal Reserve Act.  Our Trust Company is also regulated by the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve.
 
Deposits of our Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which subjects banks to regulation and examination under the provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.
 
The operations of CTBI and our subsidiaries are also affected by other banking legislation and policies and practices of various regulatory authorities.  Such legislation and policies include statutory maximum rates on some loans, reserve requirements, domestic monetary and fiscal policy, and limitations on the kinds of services that may be offered.
 
CTBI’s annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports are available free of charge on our website at www.ctbi.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such materials are electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission.  CTBI’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is also available on our website.  Copies of our annual report will be made available free of charge upon written request.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Economic Risk
CTBI may continue to be adversely affected by current economic and market conditions.
 
The national and global economic downturn has resulted in unprecedented levels of financial market volatility and has in general adversely impacted the market value of financial institutions, limited access to capital and had an adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of banking companies in general, including CTBI.  In some cases, the markets have produced downward pressure on stock prices and credit capacity for certain issuers without regard to those issuers’ underlying financial strength.  During this time, CTBI has experienced challenges, credit quality has deteriorated and net income and results of operations have been adversely impacted.  Although CTBI operated at a profit last year, CTBI is a part of the financial system and a continuation of the systemic lack of available credit, lack of confidence in the financial sector, increased volatility in the financial markets, and reduced business activity could materially and adversely impact CTBI’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.  In addition, the possible duration and severity of the adverse economic cycle is unknown and may exacerbate financial service providers’, including CTBI’s, exposure to credit risk.  Actions by Congress, Treasury, the FDIC and other governmental agencies and regulators have been initiated to address economic stabilization, yet the efficacy of these programs in stabilizing the economy and the banking system is uncertain.  There can be no assurance that these actions will not have an adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of financial service providers including CTBI.

Economy of Our Markets
Our business may continue to be adversely affected by downturns in the local economies on which we depend.
 
Our loan portfolio is concentrated primarily in eastern, northeastern, central, and south central Kentucky and southern West Virginia.  Our profits depend on providing products and services to clients in these local regions.  These regions have recently experienced an increase in unemployment and a decrease in real estate values.  Further increases in unemployment, additional decreases in real estate values, or increases in interest rates could weaken the local economies in which we operate.  Weakness in our market area could depress our earnings and consequently our financial condition because:
·  
Clients may not want, need, or qualify for our products and services;
·  
Borrowers may not be able to repay their loans;
·  
The value of the collateral securing our loans to borrowers may decline; and
·  
The quality of our loan portfolio may decline.

Interest Rate Risk
Changes in interest rates could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition.
 
Our earnings and financial condition are dependent to a large degree upon net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned from loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and borrowings.  The narrowing of interest-rate spreads, meaning the difference between the interest rates earned on loans and investments and the interest rates paid on deposits and borrowings, could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition.  Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including:
·  
The rate of inflation;
·  
The rate of economic growth;
·  
Employment levels;
·  
Monetary policies; and
·  
Instability in domestic and foreign financial markets.
 
Changes in market interest rates will also affect the level of voluntary prepayments on our loans and the receipt of payments on our mortgage-backed securities resulting in the receipt of proceeds that may be reinvested at a lower rate than the loan or mortgage-backed security being prepaid.
 
We originate residential loans for sale and for our portfolio. The origination of loans for sale is designed to meet client financing needs and earn fee income. The origination of loans for sale is highly dependent upon the local real estate market and the level and trend of interest rates.  Increasing interest rates may reduce the origination of loans for sale and consequently the fee income we earn.  While our commercial banking, construction, and income property business lines remain a significant portion of our activities, high interest rates may reduce our mortgage-banking activities and thereby our income.  In contrast, decreasing interest rates have the effect of causing clients to refinance mortgage loans faster than anticipated.  This causes the value of assets related to the servicing rights on loans sold to be lower than originally anticipated.  If this happens, we may need to write down our servicing assets faster, which would accelerate our expense and lower our earnings.
 
We consider interest rate risk one of our most significant market risks. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates.  Consistency of our net interest revenue is largely dependent upon the effective management of interest rate risk.  We employ a variety of measurement techniques to identify and manage our interest rate risk including the use of an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to changing interest rates.  The model is based on actual cash flows and repricing characteristics for on and off-balance sheet instruments and incorporates market-based assumptions regarding the effect of changing interest rates on the prepayment rates of certain assets and liabilities.  Assumptions based on the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates are also incorporated into the model.  These assumptions are inherently uncertain, and as a result, the model cannot precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income.  Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies.

Banking Reform
Our business may be adversely affected by proposed “banking reform” legislation.
 
The Obama administration has proposed major changes to the banking and financial institutions regulatory regimes in the near future in light of the recent performance of and government intervention in the financial services sector.  Legislation to implement these changes is pending in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.  These proposed reforms and other changes to statutes, regulations, and policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations, or policies, could affect CTBI in substantial and unpredictable ways.  Such changes could subject CTBI to additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products CTBI may offer, negatively impact the recoverability of certain of our recorded assets, and increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, among other things.

Government Policies
Our business may be adversely affected by changes in government policies.
 
The earnings of banks and bank holding companies such as ours are affected by the policies of regulatory authorities, including the Federal Reserve Board, which regulates the money supply.  Among the methods employed by the Federal Reserve Board are open market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits.  These methods are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and their use may also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits.  The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial and savings banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future.
 
The banking industry is highly regulated and changes in federal and state banking regulations as well as policies and administration guidelines may affect our practices, growth prospects, and earnings.  In particular, there is no assurance that recent governmental actions designed to stabilize the economy and banking system will not adversely affect the financial position or results of operations of CTBI.


 
 

 

Credit Risk
Our earnings and reputation may be adversely affected if we fail to effectively manage our credit risk.
 
Originating and underwriting loans are integral to the success of our business.  This business requires us to take “credit risk,” which is the risk of losing principal and interest income because borrowers fail to repay loans.  Collateral values and the ability of borrowers to repay their loans may be affected at any time by factors such as:
·  
The length and severity of downturns in the local economies in which we operate or the national economy;
·  
The length and severity of downturns in one or more of the business sectors in which our customers operate, particularly the automobile, hotel/motel, coal, and residential development industries; or
·  
A rapid increase in interest rates.

Our loan portfolio includes loans with a higher risk of loss.
 
We originate commercial real estate loans, construction and development loans, consumer loans, and residential mortgage loans, primarily within our market area.  Commercial real estate, commercial, and construction and development loans tend to involve larger loan balances to a single borrower or groups of related borrowers and are most susceptible to a risk of loss during a downturn in the business cycle.  These loans also have historically had a greater credit risk than other loans for the following reasons:

·  
Commercial Real Estate Loans.  Repayment is dependent on income being generated in amounts sufficient to cover operating expenses and debt service.  These loans also involve greater risks because they are generally not fully amortizing over a loan period, but rather have a balloon payment due at maturity.  A borrower’s ability to make a balloon payment typically will depend on being able to either refinance the loan or timely sell the underlying property.  As of December 31, 2009, commercial real estate loans, including multi-family loans, comprised approximately 29% of our total loan portfolio.

·  
Other Commercial Loans.  Repayment is generally dependent upon the successful operation of the borrower’s business.  In addition, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, be difficult to appraise, be illiquid, or fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.  As of December 31, 2009, commercial loans comprised approximately 16% of our total loan portfolio.

·  
Construction and Development Loans.  The risk of loss is largely dependent on our initial estimate of whether the property’s value at completion equals or exceeds the cost of property construction and the availability of take-out financing.  During the construction phase, a number of factors can result in delays or cost overruns.  If our estimate is inaccurate or if actual construction costs exceed estimates, the value of the property securing our loan may be insufficient to ensure full repayment when completed through a permanent loan, sale of the property, or by seizure of collateral.  As of December 31, 2009, construction and development loans comprised approximately 8% of our total loan portfolio.
 
Consumer loans may carry a higher degree of repayment risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly when the consumer loan is unsecured.  Repayment of a consumer loan typically depends on the borrower’s financial stability, and it is more likely to be affected adversely by job loss, illness, or personal bankruptcy.  In addition, federal and state bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws may limit the amount we can recover when a consumer client defaults.  As of December 31, 2009, consumer loans comprised approximately 22% of our total loan portfolio.
 
A large percentage of our loan portfolio is secured by real estate, in particular commercial real estate.  Continued deterioration in the real estate market or other segments of our loan portfolio would lead to additional losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
As of December 31, 2009, approximately 62% of our loan portfolio is secured by real estate, the majority of which is commercial real estate.  As a result of increased levels of commercial and consumer delinquencies and declining real estate values, we have experienced increasing levels of net charge-offs and allowances for loan and lease reserves.  Continued increases in commercial and consumer delinquency levels or continued declines in real estate market values would require increased net charge-offs and increases in the allowance for loan and lease losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.

Increased FDIC Assessments
Our FDIC insurance assessments have increased substantially and may continue to increase, resulting in higher operating costs.
 
In the past several years, the FDIC announced significant increases in the premiums charged for FDIC deposit insurance protection.  In 2009, a special assessment of $1.3 million was paid by CTBI.  Should more bank failures occur, FDIC premiums could continue to increase.  These increased premiums will have an adverse effect on our net income and results of operations.

Environmental Liability Risk
We are subject to environmental liability risk associated with lending activity.
 
A significant portion of our loan portfolio is secured by real property.  During the ordinary course of business, we may foreclose on and take title to properties securing loans.  In doing so, there is a risk that hazardous or toxic substances could be found on these properties.  If hazardous or toxic substances are found, we may be liable for remediation costs, as well as for personal injury and property damage.  Environmental laws may require us to incur substantial expenses and may materially reduce the affected property’s value or limit our ability to use or sell the affected property.  In addition, future laws or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing laws may increase our exposure to environmental liability.  Although we have policies and procedures to perform an environmental review before initiating any foreclosure action on real property, these reviews may not be sufficient to detect all potential environmental hazards.  The remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental hazard could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Competition
Strong competition within our market area may reduce our ability to attract and retain deposits and originate loans.
 
We face competition both in originating loans and in attracting deposits. Competition in the financial services industry is intense.  We compete for clients by offering excellent service and competitive rates on our loans and deposit products.  The type of institutions we compete with include commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage banking firms, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies and brokerage and investment banking firms.  Competition arises from institutions located within and outside our market areas.  As a result of their size and ability to achieve economies of scale, certain of our competitors offer a broader range of products and services than we offer.  The recent economic crisis is likely to result in increased consolidation in the financial industry and larger financial institutions, some of whom may benefit from partial nationalization, may strengthen their competitive positions.  In addition, to stay competitive in our markets we may need to adjust the interest rates on our products to match the rates offered by our competitors, which could adversely affect our net interest margin.  As a result, our profitability depends upon our continued ability to successfully compete in our market areas while achieving our investment objectives.
 

 

 
 
Acquisition Risk
We may have difficulty in the future continuing to grow through acquisitions.
 
Due to consolidation within the banking industry, the number of suitable acquisition targets has decreased and there is intense competition for attractive acquisitions.  As a result, we may experience difficulty in making acquisitions on acceptable terms.
 
Any future acquisitions or mergers by CTBI or its banking subsidiary are subject to approval by the appropriate federal and state banking regulators.  The banking regulators evaluate a number of criteria in making their approval decisions, such as:
·  
Safety and soundness guidelines;
·  
Compliance with all laws including the USA Patriot Act, the International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the related rules and regulations promulgated under such Act or the Exchange Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Community Reinvestment Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, and all other applicable fair lending laws and other laws relating to discriminatory business practices; and
·  
Anti-competitive concerns with the proposed transaction.
 
If the banking regulators or a commenter on our regulatory application raise concerns about any of these criteria at the time a regulatory application is filed, the banking regulators may deny, delay, or condition their approval of a proposed transaction.
 
We have grown, and intend to continue to grow, through acquisitions of banks and other financial institutions.  After these acquisitions, we may experience adverse changes in results of operations of acquired entities, unforeseen liabilities, asset quality problems of acquired entities, loss of key personnel, loss of clients because of change of identity, difficulties in integrating data processing and operational procedures, and deterioration in local economic conditions.  These various acquisition risks can be heightened in larger transactions.

Integration Risk
We may not be able to achieve the expected integration and cost savings from our ongoing bank acquisition activities.
 
We have a long history of acquiring financial institutions and we expect this acquisition activity to continue in the future.  Difficulties may arise in the integration of the business and operations of the financial institutions that agree to merge with and into CTBI and, as a result, we may not be able to achieve the cost savings and synergies that we expect will result from the merger activities.  Achieving cost savings is dependent on consolidating certain operational and functional areas, eliminating duplicative positions and terminating certain agreements for outside services.  Additional operational savings are dependent upon the integration of the banking businesses of the acquired financial institution with that of CTBI, including the conversion of the acquired entity’s core operating systems, data systems and products to those of CTBI and the standardization of business practices.  Complications or difficulties in the conversion of the core operating systems, data systems, and products of these other banks to those of CTBI may result in the loss of clients, damage to our reputation within the financial services industry, operational problems, one-time costs currently not anticipated by us, and/or reduced cost savings resulting from the merger activities.
 
Operational Risk
An extended disruption of vital infrastructure or a security breach could negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
 
Our operations depend upon, among other things, our infrastructure, including equipment and facilities.  Extended disruption of vital infrastructure by fire, power loss, natural disaster, telecommunications failure, computer hacking or viruses, terrorist activity or the domestic and foreign response to such activity, or other events outside of our control could have a material adverse impact on the financial services industry as a whole and on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition in particular.  Our business recovery plan may not work as intended or may not prevent significant interruption of our operations.  The occurrence of any failures, interruptions, or security breaches of our information systems could damage our reputation, result in the loss of customer business, subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose us to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.

 
Market Risk
Community Trust Bancorp, Inc.'s stock price is volatile.

Our stock price has been volatile in the past, and several factors could cause the price to fluctuate substantially in the future.  These factors include:
·  
Actual or anticipated variations in earnings;
·  
Changes in analysts' recommendations or projections;
·  
CTBI's announcements of developments related to our businesses;
·  
Operating and stock performance of other companies deemed to be peers;
·  
New technology used or services offered by traditional and non-traditional competitors; and
·  
News reports of trends, concerns, and other issues related to the financial services industry.
 
Our stock price may fluctuate significantly in the future, and these fluctuations may be unrelated to CTBI's performance.  The recent financial crisis has resulted in a lack of investor confidence in the financial institutions sector.  General market price declines or market volatility in the future could adversely affect the price of our common stock, and the current market price may not be indicative of future market prices.

Technology Risk
CTBI continually encounters technological change.
 
The financial services industry is continually undergoing rapid technological change with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services.  The effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to better serve customers and to reduce costs.  Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands, as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations.  Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements.  We may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our customers.  Failure to successfully keep pace with technological change affecting the financial services industry could have a material adverse impact on our business and, in turn, our financial condition and results of operations.

Counterparty Risk
The soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect CTBI.
 
Our ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of other financial institutions.  Financial services companies are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, or other relationships.  We have exposure to many different industries and counterparties, and we routinely execute transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including brokers and dealers, commercial banks, investment banks, mutual and hedge funds, and other institutional counterparties. As a result, defaults by, or even rumors or questions about, one or more financial services companies, or the financial services industry generally, have led to market-wide liquidity problems and could lead to losses or defaults by us or by other institutions.  Many of these transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of default of our counterparty or client.  In addition, our credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral held by us cannot be realized or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the loan or derivative exposure due us.  There is no assurance that any such losses would not materially and adversely affect our businesses, financial condition, or results of operations.

In 2009, gross interest income that would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans had the loans been current in accordance with their original terms amounted to $2.3 million.  Interest income actually received and included in net income for the period was $0.3 million, leaving $2.0 million of interest income not recognized during the period.

Discussion of the Nonaccrual Policy
 
The accrual of interest income on loans is discontinued when the collection of interest and principal in full is not expected.  When interest accruals are discontinued, interest income accrued in the current period is reversed and interest income accrued in prior periods is charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses.  Any loans past due 90 days or more must be well secured and in the process of collection to continue accruing interest.

Potential Problem Loans
 
Interest accrual is discontinued when we believe, after considering economic and business conditions, collateral value, and collection efforts, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.

Foreign Outstandings

None

Loan Concentrations
 
We had no concentration of loans exceeding 10% of total loans at December 31, 2009.  See note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.

Dividends
 
The annual dividend paid to our stockholders was increased from $1.17 per share to $1.20 per share during 2009.  We have adopted a conservative policy of cash dividends by maintaining an average annual cash dividend ratio of less than 45%, with periodic stock dividends.  The current year cash dividend ratio was 72.29%.  However, the higher dividend ratio reflects the decreased net income which resulted primarily from increased provision for loan losses and increased FDIC insurance premiums and special FDIC assessment.  Dividends are typically paid on a quarterly basis.  Future dividends are subject to the discretion of CTBI’s Board of Directors, cash needs, general business conditions, dividends from our subsidiaries, and applicable governmental regulations and policies.  For information concerning restrictions on dividends from the subsidiary bank to CTBI, see note 20 to the consolidated financial statements included herein for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Stock Repurchases
 
CTBI did not acquire any shares of common stock through the stock repurchase program during the year 2009. We repurchased 93,500 shares of common stock during 2008, leaving 288,519 shares remaining under CTBI's current repurchase authorization.

Our Business
 
Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (“CTBI”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Pikeville, Kentucky.  At December 31, 2009, CTBI owned one commercial bank and one trust company.  Through its subsidiaries, CTBI has seventy-six banking locations in eastern, northeastern, central, and south central Kentucky and southern West Virginia, and five trust offices across Kentucky.  At December 31, 2009, CTBI had total consolidated assets of $3.1 billion and total consolidated deposits, including repurchase agreements, of $2.6 billion, making it the second largest bank holding company headquartered in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  Total shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2009 was $321.5 million.
 
Through its subsidiaries, CTBI engages in a wide range of commercial and personal banking and trust activities, which include accepting time and demand deposits; making secured and unsecured loans to corporations, individuals and others; providing cash management services to corporate and individual customers; issuing letters of credit; renting safe deposit boxes; and providing funds transfer services.  The lending activities of our Bank include making commercial, construction, mortgage, and personal loans.  Lease-financing, lines of credit, revolving lines of credit, term loans, and other specialized loans, including asset-based financing, are also available.  Our corporate subsidiaries act as trustees of personal trusts, as executors of estates, as trustees for employee benefit trusts, as registrars, transfer agents, and paying agents for bond and stock issues, as depositories for securities, and as providers of full service brokerage services.  For further information, see Item 1 of this annual report.

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

Our accounting policies are more fully described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.  We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions, and federal funds sold.  Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.
 
At December 31, 2009, all of the financial institutions holding CTBI’s or its subsidiary’s cash accounts were participating in the FDIC’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program.  Under the program, through June 30, 2010, all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts at these institutions are fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount in the account.
 
Investments  Management determines the classification of securities at purchase.  We classify securities into held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale categories.  Held-to-maturity securities are those which we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost.  In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 320, formerly Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity and equity securities that have readily determinable fair values shall be classified in one of the following categories and measured at fair value in the statement of financial position:
 
a. Trading securities. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term (thus held for only a short period of time) shall be classified as trading securities. Trading generally reflects active and frequent buying and selling, and trading securities are generally used with the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in price.
 
b. Available-for-sale securities. Investments not classified as trading securities (nor as held-to-maturity securities) shall be classified as available-for-sale securities.
 
We do not have any securities that are classified as trading securities.  Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax.  If declines in fair value are other than temporary, the carrying value of the securities is written down to fair value as a realized loss.
 
Gains or losses on disposition of securities are computed by specific identification for all securities except for shares in mutual funds, which are computed by average cost.  Interest and dividend income, adjusted by amortization of purchase premium or discount, is included in earnings.
 
When the fair value of a security is below its amortized cost, and depending on the length of time the condition exists and the extent the fair market value is below amortized cost, additional analysis is performed to determine whether an other than temporary impairment condition exists.  Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are analyzed quarterly for possible other than temporary impairment.  The analysis considers (i) whether we have the intent to sell our securities prior to recovery and/or maturity and (ii) whether it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell our securities prior to recovery and/or maturity.  Often, the information available to conduct these assessments is limited and rapidly changing, making estimates of fair value subject to judgment.  If actual information or conditions are different than estimated, the extent of the impairment of the security may be different than previously estimated, which could have a material effect on the CTBI’s results of operations and financial condition.


 
 

 

Available-for-Sale Securities – Available-for-sale securities are valued using the following valuation techniques:
 
 
U.S. Treasury and government agencies, state and political subdivision, U.S. government sponsored agencies, Collateralized mortgage obligations, Marketable equity securities – Level 2 Inputs.  For these securities, CTBI obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.
 
Marketable equity securities – Level 3 Inputs.  The securities owned by CTBI that were measured using Level 3 criteria are auction rate securities issued by FNMA.  These securities were valued using an independent third party.  For these securities, the valuation methods used were (1) a discounted cash flow model valuation, where the expected cash flows of the securities are discounted to the present using a yield that incorporates compensation for illiquidity and (2) a market comparables method, where the securities are valued based on indications, from the secondary market, of what discounts buyers demand when purchasing similar securities.  Using these methods, the auction rate securities are classified as Level 3.
 
Loans  Loans with the ability and the intent to be held until maturity and/or payoff are reported at the carrying value of unpaid principal reduced by unearned interest and an allowance for loan and lease losses.  Income is recorded on the level yield basis.  Interest accrual is discontinued when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions, collateral value, and collection efforts, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.  Any loan greater than 90 days past due must be well secured and in the process of collection to continue accruing interest.  Cash payments received on nonaccrual loans generally are applied against principal, and interest income is only recorded once principal recovery is reasonably assured.  Loans are not reclassified as accruing until principal and interest payments are brought current and future payments appear reasonably certain.
 
Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized over the estimated life of the related loans, leases, or commitments as a yield adjustment.
 
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses  We maintain an allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) at a level that is appropriate to cover estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans determined to be impaired, as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan and lease portfolio.  Since arriving at an appropriate ALLL involves a high degree of management judgment, we use an ongoing quarterly analysis to develop a range of estimated losses.  In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we use our best estimate within the range of potential credit loss to determine the appropriate ALLL.  Credit losses are charged and recoveries are credited to the ALLL.
 
We utilize an internal risk grading system for commercial credits.  Those larger commercial credits that exhibit probable or observed credit weaknesses are subject to individual review.  The borrower’s cash flow, adequacy of collateral coverage, and other options available to CTBI, including legal remedies, are evaluated.  The review of individual loans includes those loans that are impaired as defined by ASC 310, formerly FAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.  We evaluate the collectibility of both principal and interest when assessing the need for loss provision.  Historical loss rates are analyzed and applied to other commercial loans not subject to specific allocations.  Historically, we have utilized a rolling eight quarter historical loss rate analysis, in determining the historical average, maximum, minimum, and median loss ratios and selecting our most likely estimate of loss for each significant segment of the loan portfolio.  Recognizing the current economic environment and the increased charge-offs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2009, we have also calculated a four quarter rolling average and weighted this analysis more heavily in the determination of our estimated range of losses.
 
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that CTBI will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.  Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
 
Homogenous loans, such as consumer installment, residential mortgages, and home equity lines are not individually risk graded.  The associated ALLL for these loans is measured under ASC 450, formerly FAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies.  Historically, we have utilized a rolling eight quarter historical loss rate analysis, in determining the historical average, maximum, minimum, and median loss ratios and selecting our most likely estimate of loss for each significant segment of the loan portfolio.  Recognizing the current economic environment and the increased charge-offs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2009, we have also calculated a four quarter rolling average and weighted this analysis more heavily in the determination of our estimated range of losses.
 
Historical loss rates for commercial and retail loans are adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, reflect the impact of any current conditions on loss recognition.  Factors that we consider include delinquency trends, current economic conditions and trends, strength of supervision and administration of the loan portfolio, levels of underperforming loans, level of recoveries to prior year’s charge offs, trend in loan losses, industry concentrations and their relative strengths, amount of unsecured loans and underwriting exceptions.  These factors are reviewed quarterly and a weighted range developed with a “most likely” scenario determined.  The total of each of these weighted factors is then applied against the applicable portion of the portfolio and the ALLL is adjusted accordingly.  While the actual loss rate applied to individual factors may have been adjusted during 2009 to reflect the current economic conditions, no new factors were added to the analysis nor was the range of loss rates that were applied to individual factors adjusted during the year.
 
Loans Held for Sale – Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate.  Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized in a valuation allowance by charges to income.
 
Premises and Equipment – Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Capital leases are included in premises and equipment at the capitalized amount less accumulated amortization.  Premises and equipment are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis.
 
Depreciation and amortization are computed primarily using the straight-line method.  Estimated useful lives range up to 40 years for buildings, 2 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and up to the lease term for leasehold improvements.  Capitalized leased assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the respective leases.
 
Other Real Estate Owned – Real estate acquired by foreclosure is carried at the lower of the investment in the property or its fair value less estimated cost to sell.  Periodically, but not less frequently than bi-annually, an updated appraisal is obtained for each property owned and any decline in the fair value is recognized by a charge to income.  All revenues and expenses related to the carrying of other real estate owned are recognized by a charge to income.


 
 

 
Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible  We evaluate total goodwill and core deposit intangible for impairment, based upon ASC 350, formerly FAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and FAS 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, using fair value techniques including multiples of price/equity.  Goodwill and core deposit intangible are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or as other events may warrant.
 
Amortization of core deposit intangible is estimated at approximately $0.4 million for year one, approximately $0.05 million annually in years two through five, and approximately $0.03 million in year six.
 
Transfers of Financial Assets – Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered.  Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from CTBI—put presumptively beyond the reach of the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) CTBI does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.
 
Income Taxes – Income tax expense is based on the taxes due on the consolidated tax return plus deferred taxes based on the expected future tax benefits and consequences of temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates.
 
Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) – Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding restricted shares.
 
Diluted EPS adjusts the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding by the dilutive effect of stock options, including restricted shares, as prescribed in ASC 718, formerly FAS 123R.
 
Segments – Management analyzes the operation of CTBI assuming one operating segment, community banking services.  CTBI, through its operating subsidiaries, offers a wide range of consumer and commercial community banking services.  These services include: (i) residential and commercial real estate loans; (ii) checking accounts; (iii) regular and term savings accounts and savings certificates; (iv) full service securities brokerage services; (v) consumer loans; (vi) debit cards; (vii) annuity and life insurance products; (viii) Individual Retirement Accounts and Keogh plans; (ix) commercial loans; (x) trust services; and (xi) commercial demand deposit accounts.
 
Bank Owned Life Insurance – CTBI’s bank owned life insurance policies are carried at their cash surrender value.  We recognize tax-free income from the periodic increases in cash surrender value of these policies and from death benefits.
 
Mortgage Servicing Rights – Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) are carried at fair market value with the implementation of ASC 860, formerly FAS 156, in January 2007.  MSRs are valued using Level 3 inputs as defined in ASC 820, formerly FAS 157.  The fair value is determined quarterly based on an independent third-party valuation using a discounted cash flow analysis and calculated using a computer pricing model.  The computer valuation is based on key economic assumptions including the prepayment speeds of the underlying loans, the weighted-average life of the loan, the discount rate, the weighted-average coupon, and the weighted-average default rate, as applicable.  Along with the gains received from the sale of loans, fees are received for servicing loans.  These fees include late fees, which are recorded in interest income, and ancillary fees and monthly servicing fees, which are recorded in noninterest income.  Costs of servicing loans are charged to expense as incurred.  Changes in fair market value of the MSRs are reported in mortgage banking income.
 
Stock Options – At December 31, 2009 and 2008, CTBI had a share-based employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.  CTBI accounts for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of ASC 718, formerly FAS 123R, Share-Based Payment.
 
Comprehensive Income – Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes.  Other comprehensive income includes unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities for which a portion of an other than temporary impairment has been recognized in income.
 
Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications considered to be immaterial have been made in the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current year classifications.  These reclassifications had no effect on net income.

New Accounting Standards

Ø Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities – ASC 260, formerly FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-6-1, addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method described in ASC 260-10-45, formerly paragraphs 60 and 61 of FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share.  This standard was effective January 1, 2009, and did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Ø Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly – ASC 820, formerly FSP FAS 157-4, 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 and 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.  ASC 820 requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence.  This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.  CTBI did not elect to early adopt.  This standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Ø Recognition and Presentation of Other Than Temporary Impairments – ASC 320, formerly FSP FAS 115-2 and FSP FAS 124-2, (i) changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to debt securities and (ii) 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. Under ASC 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.  This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.  CTBI did not elect to early adopt.  This standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Ø Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies – ASC 805, formerly FSP FAS 141(R)-1, requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated.  If fair value of such an asset or liability cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability would generally be recognized in accordance with ASC 450, formerly FAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies and FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss.  ASC 805 removes subsequent accounting guidance for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies and requires entities to develop a systematic and rational basis for subsequently measuring and accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies.  This standard also eliminates the requirement to disclose an estimate of the range of outcomes of recognized contingencies at the acquisition date.  For unrecognized contingencies, entities are required to include only the disclosures required by ASC 450, formerly FAS 5. The standard 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 in accordance with the standard.  This standard is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies CTBI acquires in business combinations occurring after January 1, 2009.

 
 

 


Ø Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860, formerly FAS 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — An Amendment of FAS 140.  ASC 860 removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and limits the circumstances in which a financial asset, or portion of a financial asset, should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire financial asset to an entity that is not consolidated with the transferor in the financial statements being presented and/or when the transferor has continuing involvement with the transferred financial asset.  The new standard became effective for CTBI on January 1, 2010.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on CTBI’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Ø Determining When to Consolidate Variable Purpose Entities – In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810, formerly FAS 167 — Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).  ASC 810 requires an entity to perform an analysis to determine whether an entity’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity.  This standard requires ongoing reassessments of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and enhanced disclosures that provide more transparent information about an entity’s involvement with a variable interest entity.  The new standard became effective for CTBI on January 1, 2010.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on CTBI’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Ø Codification of Authoritative Accounting Principles – In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105, formerly FAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  ASC 105 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretative releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The new standard became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on CTBI’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Ø Disclosures Regarding Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets – In December 2008, the FASB issued ASC 715, formerly FSP FAS 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets.  This standard requires disclosure of the fair value of each major category of plan assets for pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans.  The new standard became effective for CTBI on January 1, 2010.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on CTBI’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Ø Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements – In January 2010, the FASB released Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.  ASU 2010-06 amends ASC Subtopic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and Subtopic 715-20, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans.  The new standard expands the existing fair value disclosures required by these two subtopics.  Additional disclosures required by the new standard must be made for each period beginning after the effective date.  Expansion of disclosures for prior periods to include those required by the ASU is optional.

Disclosure changes made by ASU 2010-06 include:

·  
The amounts of and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements and the accounting policy for the date used to recognize such transfers, e.g., actual transaction date, beginning of reporting period date or end of reporting period date

·  
Presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements as separate lines, rather than one net number, in the table reconciling activity for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs

·  
Provision of fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities with a class often being a subset of assets or liabilities within a balance sheet line item.  Class should be determined on the basis of the nature and risks of investments in debt and equity securities and generally will not require change from the classifications already employed in disclosures for those investments

·  
Provision of explanations about the valuation techniques and inputs used to determine fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements falling in either Level 2 or Level 3

·  
Revision of the existing disclosures made by a plan sponsor about fair value for assets of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans to require those disclosures be made by asset class instead of asset category
 
ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted.  The one exception involves reporting certain items gross instead of net in the existing activity table for items measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years and may be adopted earlier if desired.  Except for the Level 3 table item, each SEC issuer must apply the ASU starting with its first interim period beginning after December 15, 2009.  While CTBI did not elect to early adopt the provisions which are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2009, we may elect early adoption of the December 15, 2010 provisions.  ASU 2010-06 is not expected to have a material impact on CTBI’s consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

2009 Compared to 2008
 
CTBI reported increased earnings for the year 2009.  Earnings per basic share for the year 2009 were $1.66 compared to $1.54 for the same period in 2008.  Average shares outstanding increased from 15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 to 15.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

v  
Year over year basic earnings per share increased $0.12 per share.  2009 earnings were impacted by increased provision for loan losses ($0.26 per share impact after-tax), increased FDIC insurance premiums and special FDIC assessment ($0.23 per share impact after-tax), and increased noninterest income compared to 2008 which was impacted by the other than temporary impairment (OTTI) charges on investment securities of $14.6 million ($0.62 per share impact after-tax).

v  
The significant increase in provision for loan losses was driven by increased charge-offs in 1-4 family commercial real estate loans with specific reserves and to a lesser extent consumer loans, and it supports loan growth of $87.1 million for the year.

v  
Net loan charge-offs for the year 2009 increased $7.0 million from prior year.

v  
Noninterest income was impacted by increased gains on sales of loans and loan related fees due to the refinancing of mortgage loans and an increase in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights.

v  
Noninterest expense increased year over year as a result of increases in legal fees, net expenses related to other real estate owned, and repossession expense as CTBI works through its problem real estate loans resulting from the decline in the housing market and consumers and small businesses are being impacted by current economic conditions.  CTBI also experienced increased FDIC insurance premiums including the special FDIC assessment and increased personnel expense.

v  
Our net interest margin for the year was 11 basis points below prior year.

v  
Our loan portfolio grew $87.1 million or 3.7% with growth in the commercial and consumer loan portfolios offset by a decline in the residential loan portfolio.

v  
Nonperforming loans decreased to $41.3 million compared to $52.2 million at December 31, 2008.  The year over year decrease in nonperforming loans was in both the 90 day and accruing and the nonaccrual classifications.  Nonperforming assets increased $16.1 million from prior year-end, December 31, 2008, as a result of increased other real estate owned.

v  
Our investment portfolio declined $8.4 million year over year.

v  
Our tangible common equity/tangible assets ratio remains strong at 8.47%.

v  
Return on average assets for the year was 0.82% compared to 0.79% for the year 2008.  Return on average equity was 7.89% compared to 7.48%.
 
 

 
Net Interest Income:
 
Our net interest margin decreased 11 basis points compared to the year ended December 31, 2008.  Net interest income for the year 2009 increased 1.8% with a 4.7% increase in average earning assets compared to 2008.  The yield on average earnings assets for the year 2009 decreased 80 basis points in comparison to the 86 basis point decline in the cost of interest bearing funds.

Provision for Loan Losses and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses:
 
The provision for loan losses that was added to the allowance for 2009 increased $6.0 million from the year 2008.  This provision represented a charge against current earnings in order to maintain the allowance at an appropriate level determined using the accounting estimates described in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section.  Our loan loss reserve as a percentage of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2009 increased to 1.34% compared to 1.31% at December 31, 2008.  The adequacy of our loan loss reserves is analyzed quarterly and adjusted as necessary with a focus on maintaining appropriate reserves for potential losses.
 
CTBI's total nonperforming loans were $41.3 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease from the $52.2 million at December 31, 2008.  Loans past-due 30-89 days at December 31, 2009 were $24.8 million, a decrease of $2.9 million from the $27.7 million at December 31, 2008.  Our loan portfolio management processes focus on the immediate identification, management, and resolution of problem loans to maximize recovery and minimize loss.
 
CTBI as a matter of practice does not offer high risk loans such as option ARM products, high loan to value ratio mortgages, interest-only loans, loans with initial teaser rates, or loans with negative amortizations, and therefore, CTBI would have no significant exposure to these products..
 
Foreclosed properties increased to $37.3 million from the $10.4 million at December 31, 2008, as problem real estate loans are working their way through the legal system, which remains strained due to current economic conditions, and CTBI continues working through a prolonged foreclosure process.  Sales of foreclosed properties for the year ended December 31, 2009 totaled $7.0 million.  Net loss on sales of foreclosed properties in 2009 totaled $45 thousand.  New foreclosed properties totaled $33.3 million and are carried at the lesser of book value or appraised value less cost to sell.  Our nonperforming loans and foreclosed properties remain primarily concentrated in our Central Kentucky Region.  The major classifications of other real estate owned are shown in the following table:

(in thousands)

  $ 37,333     $ 10,425  
 
Net loan charge-offs for the year 2009 were $15.6 million, or 0.66% of average loans, compared to prior year's $8.7 million, or 0.38% of average loans.  Of the total net charge-offs, $9.4 million was in commercial loans with specific reserve allocations, $3.3 million was in indirect auto loans, and $1.3 million was in residential real estate mortgage loans.  Specific reserves covered 88.8% of the commercial loan charge-offs.  Specific reserves are not allocated for indirect auto loans or residential real estate mortgage loans during the credit review process.  Indirect auto loans are charged-off within 90 days of becoming past due.

Noninterest Income:
 
Noninterest income for the year 2009 increased 14.0% over 2008 after normalizing for the $14.5 million in other than temporary impairment charges taken in 2008.  The year over year increase included a $2.7 million increase in gains on sales of mortgage loans and a $1.8 million increase in loan related fees driven primarily by a $1.2 million change in the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights.

Noninterest Expense:
 
Noninterest expense for the year 2009 increased 13.7% from 2008 with increases in FDIC insurance premiums and personnel costs, along with increased legal fees, repossession expenses, and other real estate owned expenses as CTBI continues to work through nonperforming assets primarily associated with the decline in the real estate market in Central Kentucky.
 
Balance Sheet Review:
 
CTBI’s total assets at $3.1 billion increased 4.5% from prior year-end.  Loans outstanding at December 31, 2009 were $2.4 billion with a 3.7% growth from December 31, 2008.  Year over year loan growth occurred in the commercial and consumer loan portfolios with commercial loans increasing $44.7 million and consumer loans increasing $46.1 million.  The residential loan portfolio declined by $3.7 million during 2009 due to significant refinancing of portfolio mortgage loans into the long-term fixed rate secondary market.  CTBI's investment portfolio decreased 2.9% from prior year.  Deposits, including repurchase agreements, at $2.6 billion increased 6.2% from prior year.  Other interest bearing liabilities declined from prior year resulting from the payoff of a $40 million FHLB advance.  The deposit (including repurchase agreements) to FTE (full-time equivalent) ratio increased to $2.7 million at December 31, 2009 from $2.5 million at December 31, 2008.
 
Shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2009 was $321.5 million compared to $308.2 million at December 31, 2008.  CTBI's annualized dividend yield to shareholders as of December 31, 2009 was 4.91%.
 
 


 
2008 Compared to 2007
 
CTBI reported earnings of $23.1 million or $1.54 per basic share for the year 2008 compared to $36.6 million or $2.42 per basic share for the year 2007.  Average shares outstanding decreased from 15.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to 15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
During 2008, CTBI recorded other than temporary impairment charges of $14.5 million, $1.1 million of which was recorded in the fourth quarter 2008, based upon the current market value of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae trust preferred pass-through auction rate securities.  CTBI held $14.9 million of these securities on June 30, 2008.  The market value of all auction rate securities held by CTBI at December 31, 2008 was $0.5 million.  CTBI also recorded a $1.5 million decline in the fair value of its mortgage servicing rights during 2008, $1.1 million of which occurred in the fourth quarter 2008, and increased its provision for loan losses by $4.9 million year over year.  Additionally, economic conditions combined with the current interest rate environment continued to put pressure on CTBI’s net interest margin and impact its asset quality contributing to lower earnings for the fourth quarter and year 2008.

v  
CTBI's basic earnings per share decreased $0.88 from prior year, primarily as a result of other than temporary impairment charges during the third and fourth quarters 2008 and a $4.9 million increase in our allocation to our reserve for losses on loans.

v  
Pressure continued on our net interest margin due to the current interest rate environment and economic conditions.  Our net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased 2 basis points from prior year, and net interest income decreased $2.4 million from prior year as average earning assets decreased by $57.0 million.

v  
Noninterest income was impacted by $14.5 million in other than temporary impairment (OTTI) charges for auction rate securities.  Core noninterest income showed slight increases from prior year with increases in gains on sales of loans, deposit service charges, and trust revenue; however these increases were offset by a decrease in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights.

v  
Noninterest expense controls were positive during 2008 as we experienced a decline in total noninterest expense which was driven by decreases in both personnel and occupancy and equipment expenses.

v  
Our efficiency ratio for the year 2008 increased 77 basis points from 2007 to 58.39%.

v  
Nonperforming loans increased to $52.2 million at December 31, 2008 compared to $31.9 million at prior year-end.

v  
Our loan portfolio increased 5.4% during the year with $120.8 million in growth.

v  
Our investment portfolio decreased $64.1 million year over year primarily resulting from the use of the liquidity in the portfolio to fund loan growth and manage the net interest margin and the OTTI charges for auction rate securities.

v  
CTBI’s effective income tax rate was 26.44% for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to 31.18% for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The reduced income tax rate was driven by the increase in the ratio of tax exempt income to total income and the adjustment of a tax deferred item in the fourth quarter 2008 which had a positive impact to earnings of $0.04 per share.

v  
Return on average assets for the year was 0.79% compared to 1.23% for the year 2007.  Return on average equity was 7.48% compared to 12.45%.

Net Interest Income:
 
Our net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased 2 basis points compared to the same period in 2007.  Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased $2.4 million from prior year as the cost of interest bearing funds decreased 108 basis points while the yield on average earning assets decreased 94 basis points and average earning assets declined $57.0 million.

Provision for Loan Losses and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses:
 
The provision for loan losses that was added to the allowance for 2008 increased $4.9 million from the year 2007.  This provision represented a charge against current earnings in order to maintain the allowance at an appropriate level determined using the accounting estimates described in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section.  Our loan loss reserve as a percentage of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2008 increased to 1.31% compared to 1.26% at December 31, 2007.  The adequacy of our loan loss reserve is analyzed quarterly and adjusted as necessary.
 
Nonperforming loans increased during the year by $20.3 million with increases in all of our regions.  CTBI's total nonperforming loans at December 31, 2008 were $52.2 million compared to $31.9 million at December 31, 2007.  Our loan portfolio management processes focus on maintaining appropriate reserves for potential losses.
 
An increase in nonperforming loans does not necessitate a corollary increase in the amount of loan loss reserves.  Nonperforming loans include loans that are 90 days or more past due as well as nonaccrual loans and restructured debt.  A loan that is 90 days or more past due must be placed on nonaccrual unless it is well secured and in the process of collection.  If it has not been placed on nonaccrual it has met both criteria, especially that of "well secured", and thereby would require no specific reserve.  A loan is placed on nonaccrual when, by definition, the bank does not anticipate collecting all of its principal and/or interest.  CTBI had several loans that were secured by real estate that we did not anticipate collecting all of the interest owed but, with current appraisals performed, did anticipate collecting all of the principal.  In this instance, while the interest accrued would have been reversed, and the loan placed on nonaccrual, no additional specific reserve was required because we anticipated collecting all of the principal.
 
Foreclosed properties increased during 2008 to $10.4 million from the $7.9 million at December 31, 2007.  Sales of foreclosed properties during 2008 totaled $5.0 million while new foreclosed properties totaled $7.7 million.  Our nonperforming loans and foreclosed properties remain concentrated in our Central Kentucky Region.  The increase in the Central Kentucky Region was primarily attributable to borrowers adversely impacted by the continuing weakness in the housing market and the resulting increase in time required by the legal process for movement from foreclosure to liquidation.  The Central Kentucky Region continued to experience the most stress from the current housing crisis.
 
Net loan charge-offs for the year increased from $6.0 million for 2007 to $8.7 million for 2008 with most losses derived from our Central Kentucky Region as we continued to work through the region’s overbuilt housing market.

Noninterest Income:
 
The significant decline in noninterest income year over year occurred as a result of the $14.5 million other than temporary impairment charges for auction rate securities, as well as the $1.5 million decline in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights.  We experienced increases year over year in the core banking noninterest income areas of gains on sales of loans, deposit service charges, and trust revenue which were partially offset by the decline in loan fees driven by the decline in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights.


 
 

 

Noninterest Expense:
 
Noninterest expense controls were positive during 2008 as we experienced a decline in total noninterest expense which was driven by decreases in both personnel and occupancy and equipment expenses.  Commensurate with the U.S. Treasury placing Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae into conservatorship, noninterest expense for the year 2008 was impacted by a $0.8 million charge relative to trust activity for which CTBI had financial responsibility.  The decrease in expenses would have been larger except for this $0.8 million charge.

Balance Sheet Review:
 
CTBI’s total assets at $3.0 billion increased 1.8% from prior year.  Loans outstanding at December 31, 2008 were $2.3 billion reflecting a 5.4% growth from December 31, 2007.  CTBI's investment portfolio, however, decreased 18.0% from prior year as a result of the use of the liquidity in our investment portfolio to fund loan growth and the other than temporary impairment charges for auction rate securities.  Deposits, including repurchase agreements, at $2.5 billion increased 1.5% from prior year.  The deposit (including repurchase agreements) to FTE (full-time equivalent) ratio increased to $2.5 million at December 31, 2008 from $2.4 million at December 31, 2007.
 
Shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2008 was $308.2 million compared to $301.4 at December 31, 2007.  CTBI's annualized dividend yield to shareholders as of December 31, 2008 was 3.27%.

Liquidity and Market Risk
 
The objective of CTBI’s Asset/Liability management function is to maintain consistent growth in net interest income within our policy limits. This objective is accomplished through management of our consolidated balance sheet composition, liquidity, and interest rate risk exposures arising from changing economic conditions, interest rates, and customer preferences. The goal of liquidity management is to provide adequate funds to meet changes in loan and lease demand or deposit withdrawals. This is accomplished by maintaining liquid assets in the form of cash and cash equivalents and investment securities, maintaining sufficient unused borrowing capacity, and growth in core deposits. As of December 31, 2009, we had approximately $142.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $270.2 million in securities valued at estimated fair value designated as available-for-sale and available to meet liquidity needs on a continuing basis.  Additional asset-driven liquidity is provided by the remainder of the securities portfolio and the repayment of loans.  In addition to core deposit funding, we also have a variety of other short-term and long-term funding sources available.  We also rely on Federal Home Loan Bank advances for both liquidity and management of our asset/liability position.  Federal Home Loan Bank advances were $20.7 million at December 31, 2009 compared to $60.7 million at December 31, 2008.  As of December 31, 2009, we had a $294.8 million available borrowing position with the Federal Home Loan Bank.  We generally rely upon net inflows of cash from financing activities, supplemented by net inflows of cash from operating activities, to provide cash for our investing activities.  As is typical of many financial institutions, significant financing activities include deposit gathering, use of short-term borrowing facilities such as repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased, and issuance of long-term debt.  At December 31, 2009, we had a $12 million revolving line of credit, all of which is currently available to meet any future cash needs.  Our primary investing activities include purchases of securities and loan originations.  We do not rely on any one source of liquidity and manage availability in response to changing consolidated balance sheet needs.

Stock Repurchase Program
 
CTBI’s stock repurchase program began in December 1998 with the authorization to acquire up to 500,000 shares and was increased by an additional 1,000,000 shares in July 2000.  CTBI issued a press release on May 13, 2003 announcing its intention to repurchase up to 1,000,000 additional shares.  During the years 2007 and 2008, we repurchased 196,500 and 93,500 shares, respectively.  As of December 31, 2008, a total of 2,211,481 shares have been repurchased through this program.  The following table shows Board authorizations and repurchases made through the stock repurchase program for the years 1998 through 2009:

Interest Rate Risk
 
We consider interest rate risk one of our most significant market risks. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates.  Consistency of our net interest revenue is largely dependent upon the effective management of interest rate risk.  We employ a variety of measurement techniques to identify and manage our interest rate risk including the use of an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to changing interest rates.  The model is based on actual cash flows and repricing characteristics for on and off-balance sheet instruments and incorporates market-based assumptions regarding the effect of changing interest rates on the prepayment rates of certain assets and liabilities.  Assumptions based on the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates are also incorporated into the model.  These assumptions are inherently uncertain, and as a result, the model cannot precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income.  Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies.
 
CTBI’s Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO), which includes executive and senior management representatives and reports to the Board of Directors, monitors and manages interest rate risk within Board-approved policy limits.  Our current exposure to interest rate risks is determined by measuring the anticipated change in net interest income spread evenly over the twelve-month period.


 
 

 

The following table shows our estimated earnings sensitivity profile as of December 31, 2009:

The simulation model used the yield curve spread evenly over a twelve-month period.  The measurement at December 31, 2009 estimates that our net interest income in an up-rate environment would increase by 3.50% at a 400 basis point change, 2.37% increase at a 300 basis point change, 1.29% increase at a 200 basis point change, and a 0.53% increase at a 100 basis point change.  In a down-rate environment, a 25 basis point decrease in interest rates would decrease net interest income by 0.15% over one year.  In order to reduce the exposure to interest rate fluctuations and to manage liquidity, we have developed sale procedures for several types of interest-sensitive assets.  Virtually all long-term, fixed rate single family residential mortgage loans underwritten according to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation guidelines are sold for cash upon origination.  Periodically, additional assets such as commercial loans are also sold.  In 2009 and 2008, $217.5 million and $83.7 million, respectively, was realized on the sale of fixed rate residential mortgages.  We focus our efforts on consistent net interest revenue and net interest margin growth through each of the retail and wholesale business lines.  We do not currently engage in trading activities.
 
The preceding analysis was prepared using a rate ramp analysis which attempts to spread changes evenly over a specified time period as opposed to a rate shock which measures the impact of an immediate change.  Had these measurements been prepared using the rate shock method, the results would vary.

Our Static Repricing GAP as of December 31, 2009 is presented below.  In the 12 month repricing GAP, rate sensitive liabilities (“RSL”) exceeded rate sensitive assets (“RSA”) by $146.2 million.

Capital Resources
 
We continue to grow our shareholders’ equity while also providing an annual dividend yield for the year 2009 of 4.91% to shareholders.  Shareholders’ equity increased 4.3% from December 31, 2008 to $321.5 million at December 31, 2009.  Our primary source of capital growth is the retention of earnings.  Cash dividends were $1.20 per share for 2009 and $1.17 per share for 2008.  We retained 27.7% of our earnings in 2009 compared to 24.0% in 2008.
 
Regulatory guidelines require bank holding companies, commercial banks, and savings banks to maintain certain minimum capital ratios and define companies as “well-capitalized” that sufficiently exceed the minimum ratios.  The banking regulators may alter minimum capital requirements as a result of revising their internal policies and their ratings of individual institutions.  To be “well-capitalized” banks and bank holding companies must maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of no less than 5.0%, a Tier 1 risk based ratio of no less than 6.0%, and a total risk based ratio of no less than 10.0%.  Our ratios as of December 31, 2009 were 10.38%, 12.90%, and 14.15%, respectively, all exceeding the threshold for meeting the definition of “well-capitalized.”  See note 20 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
 
As of December 31, 2009, we are not aware of any current recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material adverse impact on our liquidity, capital resources, or operations, except as noted in the Banking Reform section of Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Deposit Insurance
 
Substantially all of the deposits of CTBI are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund (DFI) of the FDIC and are subject to deposit insurance assessments to maintain the DIF.  The FDIC utilizes a risk-based assessment system that imposes insurance premiums based upon a risk matrix that takes into account a bank’s capital level and supervisory rating (“CAMELS rating”).  The risk matrix utilizes four risk categories which are distinguished by capital levels and supervisory ratings.


 
 

 
In December 2008, the FDIC issued a final rule that raised the then current assessment rates uniformly by seven basis points for the first quarter of 2009 assessment, which resulted in annualized assessment rates for institutions in the highest risk category (“Risk Category 1 institutions”) ranging from 12 to 14 basis points (basis points representing cents per $100 of assessable deposits).  In February 2009, the FDIC issued final rules to amend the DIF restoration plan, change the risk-based assessment system and set assessment rates for Risk Category 1 institutions beginning in the second quarter of 2009.  For Risk Category 1 institutions that have long-term debt issuer ratings, the FDIC determines the initial base assessment rate using a combination of weighted average CAMELS component ratings, long-term debt issuer ratings (converted to numbers and averaged) and the financial ratios method assessment rate (as defined), each equally weighted.  The initial base assessment rates for Risk Category 1 institutions range from 12 to 16 basis points, on an annualized basis.  After the effect of potential base-rate adjustments, total base assessment rates range from 7 to 24 basis points.  The potential adjustments to a Risk Category 1 institution’s initial base assessment rate include (i) a potential decrease of up to five basis points for long-term unsecured debt, including senior and subordinated debt and (ii) a potential increase of up to eight basis points for secured liabilities in excess of 25% of domestic deposits.
 
In May 2009, the FDIC issued a final rule which levied a special assessment applicable to all insured depository institutions totaling five basis points of each institution’s total assets less Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009, not to exceed 10 basis points of domestic deposits.  The special assessment was part of the FDIC’s efforts to rebuild the DIF.  Deposit insurance expense during 2009 included $1.3 million recognized in the second quarter related to the special assessment.
 
In November 2009, the FDIC issued a rule that required all insured depository institutions, with limited exceptions, to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012.  The FDIC also adopted a uniform three-basis point increase in assessment rates effective on January 1, 2011.  In December 2009, CTBI paid $14.2 million in prepaid risk-based assessment, which included $0.9 million related to the fourth quarter of 2009 that would have otherwise been payable in the first quarter of 2010.  This amount is included in deposit insurance expense for 2009.  The remaining $13.3 million in prepaid deposit insurance is included in accrued interest receivable and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009.
 
FDIC insurance expense totaled $5.8 million, $0.3 million, and $0.3 million in 2009, 2008, and 2007, FDIC insurance expense includes deposit insurance assessments and Financing Corporation (ICO) assessments.

Impact of Inflation, Changing Prices, and Economic Conditions

The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Therefore, CTBI differs greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investment in nonmonetary assets, such as fixed assets and inventories.  However, inflation does have an important impact on the growth of assets in the banking industry and on the resulting need to increase equity capital at higher than normal rates in order to maintain an appropriate equity to assets ratio.  Inflation also affects other expenses, which tend to rise during periods of general inflation.

We believe one of the most significant impacts on financial and operating results is our ability to react to changes in interest rates.  We seek to maintain an essentially balanced position between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against the effects of wide interest rate fluctuations.
 
Our success is dependent on the general economic conditions of the communities we serve.  Unlike larger banks that are more geographically diversified, we provide financial and banking services primarily to eastern, northeastern, central, and south central Kentucky and southern West Virginia. The economic conditions in these areas have a significant impact on loan demand, the ability of borrowers to repay loans, and the value of the collateral securing loans.  A significant decline in general economic conditions will affect these local economic conditions and will negatively affect the financial results of our banking operations.  Factors influencing general conditions include inflation, recession, unemployment, and other factors beyond our control.
 
The national and global economic downturn has resulted in unprecedented levels of financial market volatility and has in general adversely impacted the market value of financial institutions, limited access to capital and had an adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of banking companies in general, including CTBI.  Although CTBI operated at a profit last year, CTBI is a part of the financial system and a continuation of systemic lack of available credit, lack of confidence in the financial sector, increased volatility in the financial markets, and reduced business activity could materially and adversely impact CTBI’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements include Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (“CTBI”) and its subsidiaries, including its principal subsidiary, Community Trust Bank, Inc. (the “Bank”).  Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Nature of Operations – Substantially all assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses are related to banking operations, including lending, investing of funds, obtaining of deposits, trust operations, full service brokerage operations, and other financing activities.  All of our business offices and the majority of our business are located in eastern, northeastern, central, and south central Kentucky and southern West Virginia.
 
Use of Estimates – In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management must make certain estimates and assumptions.  These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported for assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as affecting the disclosures provided.  Future results could differ from the current estimates.  Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the allowance for loan and lease losses, valuation of other real estate owned, fair value of securities and mortgage servicing rights, and goodwill (the excess of cost over net assets acquired).
 
The current protracted economic decline continues to present financial institutions with circumstances and challenges, which in some cases have resulted in large and unanticipated declines in the fair values of investments and other assets, constraints on liquidity and capital, and significant credit quality problems, including severe volatility in the valuation of real estate and other collateral supporting loans.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using values and information currently available to CTBI.
 
Given the volatility of current economic conditions, the values of assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements could change rapidly, resulting in material future adjustments in asset values, the allowance for loan losses, and capital.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions, and federal funds sold.  Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.
 
At December 31, 2009, all of the financial institutions holding CTBI’s or its subsidiary’s cash accounts were participating in the FDIC’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program.  Under the program, through June 30, 2010, all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts at these institutions are fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount in the account.
 
Investments  Management determines the classification of securities at purchase.  We classify securities into held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale categories.  Held-to-maturity securities are those which we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost.  In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 320, formerly Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity and equity securities that have readily determinable fair values shall be classified in one of the following categories and measured at fair value in the statement of financial position:
 
a. Trading securities. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term (thus held for only a short period of time) shall be classified as trading securities. Trading generally reflects active and frequent buying and selling, and trading securities are generally used with the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in price.
 
b. Available-for-sale securities. Investments not classified as trading securities (nor as held-to-maturity securities) shall be classified as available-for-sale securities.
 
We do not have any securities that are classified as trading securities.  Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax.  If declines in fair value are other than temporary, the carrying value of the securities is written down to fair value as a realized loss.
 
Gains or losses on disposition of securities are computed by specific identification for all securities except for shares in mutual funds, which are computed by average cost.  Interest and dividend income, adjusted by amortization of purchase premium or discount, is included in earnings.
 
When the fair value of a security is below its amortized cost, and depending on the length of time the condition exists and the extent the fair market value is below amortized cost, additional analysis is performed to determine whether an other than temporary impairment condition exists.  Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are analyzed quarterly for possible other than temporary impairment.  The analysis considers (i) whether we have the intent to sell our securities prior to recovery and/or maturity and (ii) whether it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell our securities prior to recovery and/or maturity.  Often, the information available to conduct these assessments is limited and rapidly changing, making estimates of fair value subject to judgment.  If actual information or conditions are different than estimated, the extent of the impairment of the security may be different than previously estimated, which could have a material effect on the CTBI’s results of operations and financial condition.

Available-for-Sale Securities – Available-for-sale securities are valued using the following valuation techniques:
 
U.S. Treasury and government agencies, state and political subdivision, U.S. government sponsored agencies, Collateralized mortgage obligations, Marketable equity securities – Level 2 Inputs.  For these securities, CTBI obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

Marketable equity securities – Level 3 Inputs.  The securities owned by CTBI that were measured using Level 3 criteria are auction rate securities issued by FNMA.  These securities were valued using an independent third party.  For these securities, the valuation methods used were (1) a discounted cash flow model valuation, where the expected cash flows of the securities are discounted to the present using a yield that incorporates compensation for illiquidity and (2) a market comparables method, where the securities are valued based on indications, from the secondary market, of what discounts buyers demand when purchasing similar securities.  Using these methods, the auction rate securities are classified as Level 3.
 
Loans  Loans with the ability and the intent to be held until maturity and/or payoff are reported at the carrying value of unpaid principal reduced by unearned interest and an allowance for loan and lease losses.  Income is recorded on the level yield basis.  Interest accrual is discontinued when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions, collateral value, and collection efforts, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.  Any loan greater than 90 days past due must be well secured and in the process of collection to continue accruing interest.  Cash payments received on nonaccrual loans generally are applied against principal, and interest income is only recorded once principal recovery is reasonably assured.  Loans are not reclassified as accruing until principal and interest payments are brought current and future payments appear reasonably certain.
 
Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized over the estimated life of the related loans, leases, or commitments as a yield adjustment.


 
 

 
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses  We maintain an allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) at a level that is appropriate to cover estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans determined to be impaired, as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan and lease portfolio.  Since arriving at an appropriate ALLL involves a high degree of management judgment, we use an ongoing quarterly analysis to develop a range of estimated losses.  In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we use our best estimate within the range of potential credit loss to determine the appropriate ALLL.  Credit losses are charged and recoveries are credited to the ALLL.
 
We utilize an internal risk grading system for commercial credits.  Those larger commercial credits that exhibit probable or observed credit weaknesses are subject to individual review.  The borrower’s cash flow, adequacy of collateral coverage, and other options available to CTBI, including legal remedies, are evaluated.  The review of individual loans includes those loans that are impaired as defined by ASC 310, formerly FAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.  We evaluate the collectibility of both principal and interest when assessing the need for loss provision.  Historical loss rates are analyzed and applied to other commercial loans not subject to specific allocations.  The ALLL allocation for this pool of commercial loans is established based on the historical average, maximum, minimum, and median loss ratios.
 
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that CTBI will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.  Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
 
Homogenous loans, such as consumer installment, residential mortgages, and home equity lines are not individually risk graded.  The associated ALLL for these loans is measured under ASC 450, formerly FAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
 
Historical loss rates for commercial and retail loans are adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, reflect the impact of any current conditions on loss recognition.  Factors that we consider include delinquency trends, current economic conditions and trends, strength of supervision and administration of the loan portfolio, levels of underperforming loans, level of recoveries to prior year’s charge offs, trend in loan losses, industry concentrations and their relative strengths, amount of unsecured loans and underwriting exceptions.  These factors are reviewed quarterly and a weighted range developed with a “most likely” scenario determined.  The total of each of these weighted factors is then applied against the applicable portion of the portfolio and the ALLL is adjusted accordingly.
 
Loans Held for Sale – Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate.  Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized in a valuation allowance by charges to income.
 
Premises and Equipment – Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Capital leases are included in premises and equipment at the capitalized amount less accumulated amortization.  Premises and equipment are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis.
 
Depreciation and amortization are computed primarily using the straight-line method.  Estimated useful lives range up to 40 years for buildings, 2 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and up to the lease term for leasehold improvements.  Capitalized leased assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the respective leases.
 
Other Real Estate – Real estate acquired by foreclosure is carried at the lower of the investment in the property or its fair value less estimated cost to sell.  Periodically, but not less frequently than bi-annually, an updated appraisal is obtained for each property owned and any decline in the fair value is recognized by a charge to income.  All revenues and expenses related to the carrying of other real estate owned are recognized by a charge to income.
 
Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible  We evaluate total goodwill and core deposit intangible for impairment, based upon ASC 350, formerly FAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and FAS 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, using fair value techniques including multiples of price/equity.  Goodwill and core deposit intangible are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or as other events may warrant.
 
Amortization of core deposit intangible is estimated at approximately $0.4 million for year one, approximately $0.05 million annually in years two through five, and approximately $0.03 million in year six.
 
Transfers of Financial Assets – Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered.  Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from CTBI—put presumptively beyond the reach of the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) CTBI does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.
 
Income Taxes – Income tax expense is based on the taxes due on the consolidated tax return plus deferred taxes based on the expected future tax benefits and consequences of temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates.
 
Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) – Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding restricted shares.
 
Diluted EPS adjusts the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding by the dilutive effect of stock options, including restricted shares, as prescribed in ASC 718, formerly FAS 123R.
 
Segments – Management analyzes the operation of CTBI assuming one operating segment, community banking services.  CTBI, through its operating subsidiaries, offers a wide range of consumer and commercial community banking services.  These services include: (i) residential and commercial real estate loans; (ii) checking accounts; (iii) regular and term savings accounts and savings certificates; (iv) full service securities brokerage services; (v) consumer loans; (vi) debit cards; (vii) annuity and life insurance products; (viii) Individual Retirement Accounts and Keogh plans; (ix) commercial loans; (x) trust services; and (xi) commercial demand deposit accounts.
 
Bank Owned Life Insurance – CTBI’s bank owned life insurance policies are carried at their cash surrender value.  We recognize tax-free income from the periodic increases in cash surrender value of these policies and from death benefits.
 
Mortgage Servicing Rights – Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) are carried at fair market value with the implementation of ASC 860, formerly FAS 156, in January 2007.  MSRs are valued using Level 3 inputs as defined in ASC 820, formerly FAS 157.  The fair value is determined quarterly based on an independent third-party valuation using a discounted cash flow analysis and calculated using a computer pricing model.  The computer valuation is based on key economic assumptions including the prepayment speeds of the underlying loans, the weighted-average life of the loan, the discount rate, the weighted-average coupon, and the weighted-average default rate, as applicable.  Along with the gains received from the sale of loans, fees are received for servicing loans.  These fees include late fees, which are recorded in interest income, and ancillary fees and monthly servicing fees, which are recorded in noninterest income.  Costs of servicing loans are charged to expense as incurred.  Changes in fair market value of the MSRs are reported in mortgage banking income.

 
 

 
Stock Options – At December 31, 2009 and 2008, CTBI had a share-based employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.  CTBI accounts for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of ASC 718, formerly FAS 123R, Share-Based Payment.
 
Comprehensive Income – Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes.  Other comprehensive income includes unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities for which a portion of an other than temporary impairment has been recognized in income.
 
Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications considered to be immaterial have been made in the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current year classifications.  These reclassifications had no effect on net income.

New Accounting Standards

Ø Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities – ASC 260, formerly FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-6-1, addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method described in ASC 260-10-45, formerly paragraphs 60 and 61 of FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share.  This standard was effective January 1, 2009, and did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
Ø Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly – ASC 820, formerly FSP FAS 157-4, 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 and 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.  ASC 820 requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence.  This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.  CTBI did not elect to early adopt.  This standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Ø Recognition and Presentation of Other Than Temporary Impairments – ASC 320, formerly FSP FAS 115-2 and FSP FAS 124-2, (i) changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to debt securities and (ii) 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. Under ASC 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.  This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.  CTBI did not elect to early adopt.  This standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Ø Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies – ASC 805, formerly FSP FAS 141(R)-1, requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated.  If fair value of such an asset or liability cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability would generally be recognized in accordance with ASC 450, formerly FAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies and FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss.  ASC 805 removes subsequent accounting guidance for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies and requires entities to develop a systematic and rational basis for subsequently measuring and accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies.  This standard also eliminates the requirement to disclose an estimate of the range of outcomes of recognized contingencies at the acquisition date.  For unrecognized contingencies, entities are required to include only the disclosures required by ASC 450, formerly FAS 5. The standard 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 in accordance with the standard.  This standard is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies CTBI acquires in business combinations occurring after January 1, 2009.

Ø Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860, formerly FAS 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — An Amendment of FAS 140.  ASC 860 removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and limits the circumstances in which a financial asset, or portion of a financial asset, should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire financial asset to an entity that is not consolidated with the transferor in the financial statements being presented and/or when the transferor has continuing involvement with the transferred financial asset.  The new standard became effective for CTBI on January 1, 2010.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on CTBI’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Ø Determining When to Consolidate Variable Purpose Entities – In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810, formerly FAS 167 — Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).  ASC 810 requires an entity to perform an analysis to determine whether an entity’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity.  This standard requires ongoing reassessments of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and enhanced disclosures that provide more transparent information about an entity’s involvement with a variable interest entity.  The new standard became effective for CTBI on January 1, 2010.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on CTBI’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Ø Codification of Authoritative Accounting Principles – In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105, formerly FAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  ASC 105 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretative releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The new standard became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on CTBI’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Ø Disclosures Regarding Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets – In December 2008, the FASB issued ASC 715, formerly FSP FAS 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets.  This standard requires disclosure of the fair value of each major category of plan assets for pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans.  The new standard became effective for CTBI on January 1, 2010.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on CTBI’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Ø Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements – In January 2010, the FASB released Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.  ASU 2010-06 amends ASC Subtopic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and Subtopic 715-20, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans.  The new standard expands the existing fair value disclosures required by these two subtopics.  Additional disclosures required by the new standard must be made for each period beginning after the effective date.  Expansion of disclosures for prior periods to include those required by the ASU is optional.

Disclosure changes made by ASU 2010-06 include:

·  
The amounts of and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements and the accounting policy for the date used to recognize such transfers, e.g., actual transaction date, beginning of reporting period date or end of reporting period date

·  
Presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements as separate lines, rather than one net number, in the table reconciling activity for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs

 
 

 


·  
Provision of fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities with a class often being a subset of assets or liabilities within a balance sheet line item.  Class should be determined on the basis of the nature and risks of investments in debt and equity securities and generally will not require change from the classifications already employed in disclosures for those investments

·  
Provision of explanations about the valuation techniques and inputs used to determine fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements falling in either Level 2 or Level 3

·  
Revision of the existing disclosures made by a plan sponsor about fair value for assets of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans to require those disclosures be made by asset class instead of asset category
 
ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted.  The one exception involves reporting certain items gross instead of net in the existing activity table for items measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years and may be adopted earlier if desired.  Except for the Level 3 table item, each SEC issuer must apply the ASU starting with its first interim period beginning after December 15, 2009.  While CTBI did not elect to early adopt the provisions which are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2009, we may elect early adoption of the December 15, 2010 provisions.  ASU 2010-06 is not expected to have a material impact on CTBI’s consolidated financial statements.

2.  Cash and Due from Banks and Interest Bearing Deposits
 
Included in cash and due from banks and interest bearing deposits are amounts required to be held at the Federal Reserve or maintained in vault cash in accordance with regulatory reserve requirements.  The balance requirements were $43.1 million and $41.3 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

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

There was a combined gain of $658 thousand realized in 2009 due to sales of six securities and a loss of $4 thousand realized due to sales of two securities.  There was a combined loss of $14.5 million realized in 2008 due to other than temporary impairment charges on auction rate securities and one $50 thousand loss realized on the sale of auction rate securities.  There were no pre-tax gains or losses realized on sales and calls in 2007.
 
 The carrying value of securities pledged as collateral, to secure public deposits and for other purposes, was $89.2 million at December 31, 2009 and $122.7 million at December 31, 2008.
 
The book value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase amounted to $179.9 million at December 31, 2009 and $165.4 million at December 31, 2008.
 
CTBI evaluates its investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for impairment.  The analysis performed as of December 31, 2009 indicates that all impairment is considered temporary, market driven, and not credit-related.  The percentage of total investments with unrealized losses as of December 31, 2009 was 8.5% compared to 52.0% as of December 31, 2008.  The following tables provide the amortized cost, gross unrealized losses, and fair market value, aggregated by investment category and length of time the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2009 that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Not included in the loan balances above were loans held for sale in the amount of $1.8 million and $0.6 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The amount of capitalized fees and costs under ASC 310, formerly SFAS 91, Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases, included in the above loan totals were $0.6 million and $1.4 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
The amount of loans on a non-accruing income status was $32.2 million, $40.9 million, and $22.2 million at December 31, 2009, December 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007, respectively.  The total of loans on nonaccrual that were in homogeneous pools and not evaluated individually for impairment were $5.6 million,  $4.3 million, and $3.4 million at December 31, 2009, December 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007, respectively.  Additional interest which would have been recorded during 2009, 2008, and 2007 if such loans had been accruing interest was approximately $2.3 million, $3.5 million, and $2.3 million, respectively.  Any loan greater than 90 days past due must be well secured and in the process of collection to continue accruing interest.  The amount of loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest was $9.1 million, $11.2 million, and $9.6 million at December 31, 2009, December 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007, respectively.
 
           At December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, the recorded investment in impaired loans was $32.0 million, $36.6 million, and $13.2 million, respectively.  Included in these amounts at December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively, were $19.2 million, $22.1 million, and $8.1 million of impaired loans for which specific reserves for loan losses were carried in the amounts of $6.6 million, $8.4 million, and $3.2 million.  The average investment in impaired loans for 2009, 2008, and 2007 was $30.2 million, $37.2 million, and $13.3 million, respectively, while interest income of $0.5 million, $0.7 million, and $0.3 million was recognized on cash payments of $3.6 million, $2.7 million, and $11.0 million.  Of the cash payments received in 2007, $10.2 million was related to receivable payments on one revolving line of credit that was placed on nonaccrual in 2007.
 
A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable CTBI will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan.  Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties.  These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.
 
 

 
 
 
5.  Mortgage Banking Activities
 
Mortgage banking activities primarily include residential mortgage originations and servicing.  As discussed in note 1 above, mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) are carried at fair market value with the implementation of ASC 860 in January 2007.  The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of this statement was recognized as a $26 thousand adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings in 2007.  The fair value is determined quarterly based on an independent third-party valuation using a discounted cash flow analysis and calculated using a computer pricing model.  The computer valuation is based on key economic assumptions including the prepayment speeds of the underlying loans, the weighted-average life of the loan, the discount rate, the weighted-average coupon, and the weighted-average default rate, as applicable.  Along with the gains received from the sale of loans, fees are received for servicing loans.  These fees include late fees, which are recorded in interest income, and ancillary fees and monthly servicing fees, which are recorded in noninterest income.  Costs of servicing loans are charged to expense as incurred.  Changes in fair market value of the MSRs are reported as an increase or decrease to mortgage banking income.

The following table presents the components of mortgage banking income:

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying balance sheets.  At December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, loans serviced for the benefit of others (primarily FHLMC) totaled $431 million, $349 million, and $351 million, respectively.  Servicing loans for others generally consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow accounts, disbursing payments to investors, and processing foreclosures.  Custodial escrow balances maintained in connection with the foregoing loan servicing, and included in demand deposits, were approximately $556 thousand, $445 thousand, and $539 thousand at December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

Activity for capitalized mortgage servicing rights using the fair value method in 2009, 2008, and 2007 is as follows:

Represents decrease in value due to regularly scheduled loan principal payments and partial loan paydowns.
(2)  
Represents decrease in value due to loans that paid off during the period.
(3)  
Represents change in value resulting from market-driven changes in interest rates.
 
The fair values of capitalized mortgage servicing rights were $3.4 million, $2.2 million, and $3.3 million at December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.  Fair values for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 were determined by third-party valuations using discount rates of 10.00%, 10.00%, and 10.10%, respectively, and weighted average default rates of 1.9%, 1.7%, and 1.6%, respectively.  The prepayment speeds applied in 2009, 2008, and 2007 were generated by the Andrew Davidson Prepayment Model.  The speeds ranged from 6.08% to 22.64% in 2009, from 7.20% to 31.70% in 2008, and from 7.10% to 26.40% in 2007 depending on the stratifications of the specific rights.  MSR values are very sensitive to movement in interest rates as expected future net servicing income depends on the projected balance of the underlying loans, which can be greatly impacted by the level of prepayments.  CTBI does not currently hedge against changes in the fair value of its MSR portfolio.
 
6.  Related Party Transactions
 
In the ordinary course of business, our banking subsidiary has made extensions of credit and had transactions with certain directors and executive officers of CTBI or our subsidiaries, including their associates (as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission).  We believe such extensions of credit and transactions were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rate and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other persons.

Activity for related party transactions during 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

CTBI adopted the provisions of ASC 740, formerly FIN 48, on January 1, 2007.  The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of this statement was recognized as a $0.6 million adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings.  The ASC 740 liability is carried in other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009.  CTBI is subject to taxation in the United States and various state and local jurisdictions.  For federal tax purposes, CTBI’s tax years for 2008 and 2009 are subject to examination by the tax authorities.  For state and local tax purposes, CTBI’s tax years for 2004 through 2009 are subject to examination by the tax authorities.  CTBI currently recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

14.  Employee Benefits

On January 1, 2007, CTBI amended its KSOP Retirement Plan, creating a separate 401(k) Plan and a separate Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”).
 
The 401(k) Plan is available to all employees (age 21 and over) with one year of service and who work at least 1,000 hours per year.  Participants in the plan have the option to contribute from 1% to 15% of their annual compensation.  CTBI matches 50% of participant contributions up to 4% of gross pay. CTBI may at its discretion, contribute an additional percentage of covered employees’ compensation.  CTBI’s matching contributions were $0.9 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007.  The 401(k) Plan owned 533,473, 504,722, and 525,938 shares of CTBI’s common stock at December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.  Substantially all shares owned by the 401(k) were allocated to employee accounts on those dates. The market price of the shares at the date of allocation is essentially the same as the market price at the date of purchase.
 
The ESOP Plan has the same entrance requirements as the 401(k) Plan above.  CTBI currently contributes 4% of covered employees’ gross compensation to the ESOP.  The ESOP uses the contributions to acquire shares of CTBI’s common stock.  CTBI’s contributions to the ESOP were $1.3 million, $1.2 million, and $1.3 million for the years ending December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.  The ESOP owned 623,392, 573,297, and 569,755 shares of CTBI’s common stock at December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.  Substantially all shares owned by the ESOP were allocated to employee accounts on those dates.  The market price of the shares at the date of allocation is essentially the same as the market price at the date of purchase.

Stock-Based Compensation:
 
We currently maintain one active and one inactive incentive stock ownership plan covering key employees.  The 2006 Stock Ownership Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”) was approved by the Board of Directors and our Shareholders in 2006.  The 1998 Stock Option Plan (“1998 Plan”) was approved by the Board of Directors and the Shareholders in 1998.  The 1998 Plan was rendered inactive as of April 26, 2006.  As of December 31, 2009, the 1998 Plan had 1,046,831 shares authorized, 154,287 of which were transferred to the 2006 Plan.    The 1989 Stock Option Plan (“1989 Plan”) was approved by the Board of Directors in 1989.  The 1989 Plan was inactive during 2007 and the remaining outstanding shares were exercised during 2007.  The 1989 Plan is now terminated.  The following table provides detail of the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of outstanding stock-based awards and remaining shares available for future issuance under all of CTBI’s equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2009:

CTBI uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions, which are evaluated and revised as necessary, in estimating the grant-date fair value of each option grant for the year end:

   
2009
   
2008
   
2007
 
Expected option life (in years)
    7.5       7.5       7.5  
Expected volatility
    0.371       0.310       0.335  
Expected Dividend yield
    4.02 %     4.10 %     2.77 %
Risk-free interest rate
    2.23 %     3.23 %     4.81 %
 
The expected option life is derived from the “safe-harbor” rules for estimating option life in ASC 718, formerly FAS 123(R).  The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the stock using a historical look back that approximates the expected life of the option grant.  The interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.  CTBI’s stock-based compensation expense for the years 2009, 2008, and 2007 was $0.6 million, $0.7 million, and $0.6 million, respectively.

CTBI’s stock option activity for the 2006 Plan for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 is summarized as follows:

16.  Fair Market Value of Financial Instruments
 
Effective January 1, 2008, CTBI adopted ASC 820, formerly FAS 157, Fair Value Measurements.  This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  ASC 820 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances.  In this standard, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.  In support of this principle, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions.  The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

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

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

Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
 
The application of ASC 820 in situations where the market for a financial asset is not active was clarified in October 2008 by the issuance of ASC 820-10-35, formerly FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active.  This clarification was effective for financial statements issued as of September 30, 2008 and thereafter and did not have a material impact on the methods by which CTBI determines the fair values of its financial assets.  ASC 820 was also clarified in April 2009 effective for the second quarter 2009 by ASC-10-65, formerly FSP No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.  This section clarifies factors that determine whether transactions are orderly or not in evaluating the reliability of market transactions for fair value estimates.  ASC 820-10-15, formerly FSP FAS 157-2, deferred the application of ASC 820 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  CTBI adopted the provisions of this standard with respect to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities beginning on January 1, 2009.

U.S. Treasury and government agencies, state and political subdivision, U.S. government sponsored agencies, Collateralized mortgage obligations, Marketable equity securities – Level 2 Inputs.  For these securities, CTBI obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms, and conditions, among other things.

Marketable equity securities – Level 3 Inputs.  The securities owned by CTBI that were measured using Level 3 criteria are auction rate securities issued by FNMA.  These securities were valued using an independent third party.  For these securities, the valuation methods used were (1) a discounted cash flow model valuation, where the expected cash flows of the securities are discounted to the present using a yield that incorporates compensation for illiquidity and (2) a market comparables method, where the securities are valued based on indications, from the secondary market, of what discounts buyers demand when purchasing similar securities.  Using these methods, the auction rate securities are classified as Level 3.

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

Impaired loans (collateral dependent) – Level 3 Inputs.  Loans considered impaired under ASC 310, formerly FAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by FAS 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan — Income Recognition and Disclosure, are loans for which, based on current information and events, it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Impaired loans are subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustments to reflect (1) partial write-downs that are based on the observable market price or current appraised value of the collateral or (2) the full charge-off of the loan carrying value. Year-to-date losses on impaired loans were $5.6 million and $6.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Other real estate/assets owned – Level 3 Inputs.  In accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, formerly FAS 144, long-lived assets held for sale with a carrying amount of $8.3 million were written down to their fair value less costs to sell during the year.  Long-lived assets are nonfinancial assets subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustments to reflect partial write-downs that are based on the observable market price or current appraised value of the collateral.  Losses on other real estate/assets owned were $1.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

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 – The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Other Investments – Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.

Securities – Fair values are based on quoted market prices, if available.  If a quoted price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted prices for similar securities.
 
Loans (net of the allowance for loan and lease losses and including impaired loans) – The fair value of fixed rate loans and variable rate mortgage loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.  For other variable rate loans, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

Loans Held for Sale – The fair value is predetermined at origination based on sale price.

Federal Reserve Bank Stock – The carrying value of Federal Reserve Bank stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Reserve Bank.
 
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock – The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Accrued Interest Receivable – The carrying amount approximates fair value.
 
Deposits – The fair value of fixed maturity time deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.  For deposits including demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts, and certain money market accounts, the carrying value approximates fair value.

Repurchase Agreements – The fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates.

Federal Funds Purchased – The carrying amount approximates fair value.
 
Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank – The fair value of these fixed-maturity advances is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently offered for advances of similar remaining maturities.

Long-term Debt – The fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates.

Accrued Interest Payable – The carrying amount approximates fair value.
 
Other Financial Instruments – The estimated fair value for other financial instruments and off-balance sheet loan commitments approximates cost at December 31, 2009 and 2008.  Off-balance sheet loan commitments at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $425.1 million and $481.8 million, respectively.
 
Letters of Credit – The fair values of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.  The fair value of such letters of credit is not material.
 
Commitments to Extend Credit – The fair value of commitments to extend credit is based upon the difference between the interest rate at which we are committed to make the loans and the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities, adjusted for the estimated volume of loan commitments actually expected to close.  The fair value of such commitments is not material.
 
17.  Off-Balance Sheet Transactions and Guarantees
 
The Bank is a party to transactions with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit in the form of unused lines of credit.  The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

At December 31, the Bank had the following off-balance sheet financial instruments, whose approximate contract amounts represent additional credit risk to CTBI:

(in thousands)
 
2009
   
2008
 
Standby letters of credit
  $ 58,641     $ 57,493  
Commitments to extend credit
    366,461       424,258  
Total
  $ 425,102     $ 481,751  
 
Standby letters of credit represent conditional commitments to guarantee the performance of a third party.  The credit risk involved is essentially the same as the risk involved in making loans.  At December 31, 2009, we maintained a credit loss reserve of approximately $7 thousand relating to these financial standby letters of credit.  The reserve coverage calculation was determined using essentially the same methodology as used for the allowance for loan and lease losses.  Approximately 92% of the total standby letters of credit are secured, with $47.0 million of the total $58.6 million secured by cash.  Collateral for the remaining secured standby letters of credit varies but is comprised primarily of accounts receivable, inventory, property, equipment, and income-producing properties.
 
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of the contract.  At December 31, 2009, a credit loss reserve of $218 thousand was maintained relating to these commitments.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  A portion of the commitments is to extend credit at fixed rates.  Fixed rate loan commitments at December 31, 2009 of $16.9 million had interest rates and terms ranging predominantly from 5.00% to 6.99% and 6 months to 2 years, respectively.  These credit commitments were based on prevailing rates, terms, and conditions applicable to other loans being made at December 31, 2009.
 
 


 
18.  Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
CTBI’s banking subsidiary grants commercial, residential, and consumer loans to customers primarily located in eastern, northeastern, central, and south central Kentucky, northeastern Tennessee and southern West Virginia.  The Bank is continuing to manage all components of its portfolio mix in a manner to reduce risk from changes in economic conditions. Concentrations of credit, as defined for regulatory purposes, are reviewed quarterly by management to ensure that internally established limits based on Tier 1 Capital plus the allowance for loan and lease losses are not exceeded.  At December 31, 2009 and 2008, our concentrations of hotel/motel industry credits were 42% and 39% of Tier 1 Capital plus the allowance for loan and lease losses, respectively.    Coal mining and related support industries credits were 31% and 32%, respectively.  Lessors of residential buildings and dwellings credits were 29% and 31%, respectively.  These percentages are within our internally established limits regarding concentrations of credit.

19.  Commitments and Contingencies
 
CTBI and our subsidiaries, and from time to time, our officers, are named defendants in legal actions arising from ordinary business activities.  Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes any pending actions are without merit or that the ultimate liability, if any, will not materially affect our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

20.  Regulatory Matters
 
Our principal source of funds is dividends received from our subsidiary bank.  Regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by our banking subsidiary without prior approval.  During 2010, approximately $12.6 million plus any 2010 net profits can be paid by our banking subsidiary without prior regulatory approval.
 
The Federal Reserve Bank adopted quantitative measures which assign risk weightings to assets and off-balance sheet items and also define and set minimum regulatory capital requirements (risk based capital ratios).  All banks are required to have a minimum Tier 1 (core capital) leverage ratio of 4% of adjusted quarterly average assets, Tier 1 capital of at least 4% of risk-weighted assets, and total capital of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets.  Tier 1 capital consists principally of shareholders’ equity including capital-qualifying subordinated debt but excluding unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, less goodwill and certain other intangibles.  Total capital consists of Tier 1 capital plus certain debt instruments and the reserve for credit losses, subject to limitation.  Failure to meet certain capital requirements can initiate certain actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our consolidated financial statements.  The regulations also define well-capitalized levels of Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1, and total capital as 5%, 6%, and 10%, respectively.  We had Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1, and total capital ratios above the well-capitalized levels at December 31, 2009 and 2008.  We believe, as of December 31, 2009, CTBI meets all capital adequacy requirements for which it is subject to be defined as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Under the current Federal Reserve Board’s regulatory framework, certain capital securities offered by wholly owned unconsolidated trust preferred entities of CTBI are included as Tier 1 regulatory capital.  On March 1, 2005, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a final rule that allows the continued limited inclusion of trust preferred securities in the Tier 1 capital of bank holding companies (“BHCs”).  Under the final rule, trust preferred securities and other restricted core capital elements are subject to stricter quantitative limits.  The Board's final rule limits restricted core capital elements to 25 percent of all core capital elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax liability.  Amounts of restricted core capital elements in excess of these limits generally may be included in Tier 2 capital.  The final rule provided a five-year transition period, which ended March 31, 2009, for application of the quantitative limits.  The requirement for trust preferred securities to include a call option has been eliminated, and standards for the junior subordinated debt underlying trust preferred securities eligible for Tier 1 capital treatment have been clarified.  The final rule addresses supervisory concerns, competitive equity considerations, and the accounting for trust preferred securities. The final rule also strengthens the definition of regulatory capital by incorporating longstanding Board policies regarding the acceptable terms of capital instruments included in banking organizations' Tier 1 or Tier 2 capital.  The final rule did not have a material impact on our regulatory ratios.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Shareholders
Community Trust Bancorp, Inc.
Pikeville, Kentucky

We have audited Community Trust Bancorp, Inc.’s (Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying management report on internal control.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.  Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of the Company and our report dated March 12, 2010, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
CTBI's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  As of December 31, 2009, an evaluation was carried out by CTBI’s management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President/Treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on this evaluation, management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009 were effective in ensuring material information required to be disclosed in this annual report on Form 10-K was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis.


CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
There were no changes in CTBI's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, CTBI's internal control over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
 
We, as management of Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“CTBI”), are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

·  
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

·  
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

·  
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls.  Accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.  Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.
 
Because of the inherent limitations, any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, may not prevent or detect misstatements due to the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden or that misstatements due to error or fraud may occur that are not detected.  Also, projections of the effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures included in such controls may deteriorate.
 
Management has evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 based on the control criteria established in a report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on such evaluation, we have concluded that CTBI’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2009.
 
The effectiveness of CTBI’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 has been audited by BKD, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm that audited the CTBI’s consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.
