Preliminary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains statements about the future expectations, activities and events that constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements express our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future financial and operating performance and growth plans, taking into account information currently available to us. These statements are not statements of historical fact. The words “believe,” “may,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “objective,” “seek,” “plan,” “strive” or similar words, or the negatives of these words, identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations of future results we expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties can be difficult to predict and may be out of our control. Factors that could contribute to differences in our results include, but are not limited to deterioration in the financial condition of borrowers resulting in significant increases in loan losses and provisions for those losses; changes in the interest rate environment, which may reduce our margins or impact the value of securities, loans, deposits and other financial instruments; changes in loan underwriting, credit review or loss reserve policies associated with economic conditions, examination conclusions, or regulatory developments; general economic or business conditions, either nationally, regionally or locally in the communities we serve, may be worse than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality or a reduced demand for credit; the results of regulatory examinations; any matter that would cause us to conclude that there was impairment of any asset, including intangible assets; the continued service of key management personnel; our ability to attract, motivate and retain qualified employees; factors that increase the competitive pressure among depository and other financial institutions, including product and pricing pressures; the ability of our competitors with greater financial resources to develop and introduce products and services that enable them to compete more successfully than us; the impact of governmental restrictions on entities participating in the Capital Purchase Program of the U.S. Department of the Treasury; inability to comply with regulatory capital requirements and to secure any required regulatory approvals for capital actions; legislative or regulatory developments, including changes in laws concerning taxes, banking, securities, insurance and other aspects of the financial services industry; and fiscal and governmental policies of the United States federal government.
Other risks are detailed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance or results. A forward-looking statement may include the assumptions or bases underlying the forward-looking statement. We have made our assumptions and bases in good faith and believe they are reasonable. We caution you however, that estimates based on such assumptions or bases frequently differ from actual results, and the differences can be material. The forward-looking statements included in this report speak only as of the date of the report. We do not intend to update these statements unless applicable laws require us to do so.
Overview
We are a bank holding company headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. We are the seventh largest independent banking organization domiciled in the state of Kentucky based on total assets. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary PBI Bank, we operate 18 full-service banking offices in twelve counties in Kentucky. Our markets include metropolitan Louisville in Jefferson County and the surrounding counties of Henry and Bullitt, and extend south along the Interstate 65 corridor to Tennessee. We serve south central Kentucky and southern Kentucky from banking offices in Butler, Green, Hart, Edmonson, Barren, Warren, Ohio, and Daviess Counties. We also have an office in Lexington, Kentucky, the second largest city in Kentucky. PBI Bank is both a traditional community bank with a wide range of commercial and personal banking products, including wealth management and trust services, and an innovative on-line bank which delivers competitive deposit products and services through an on-line banking division operating under the name of Ascencia. As of December 31, 2010, we had total assets of $1.7 billion, total net loans of $1.3 billion, total deposits of $1.5 billion and stockholders’ equity of $189 million.
History
We were organized in 1988, and historically conducted our banking business through separate community banks under the common control of J. Chester Porter, our chairman, and Maria L. Bouvette, our president and chief executive officer. In 2005, we completed a reorganization in which we consolidated our subsidiary banks into a single bank. On December 31, 2005, we renamed our consolidated subsidiary PBI Bank to create a single brand name for our banking operations throughout our market area.
1
We completed the acquisition of Paramount Bank in Lexington, Kentucky, effective February 1, 2008. Paramount had approximately $75 million in assets and $76 million in deposits. The total acquisition price paid was approximately $5 million in cash.
On June 30, 2010, we completed a $27.0 million stock offering to a group of accredited investors in a private placement transaction. On July 23, 2010 we completed a supplemental private placement to one additional accredited investor on comparable terms as the June 30, 2010 private placement. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $4,255,000 from the new investor. See Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Capital.
Our Markets
We operate in markets that include the four largest cities in Kentucky – Louisville, Lexington, Owensboro and Bowling Green – and in other communities along the I-65 corridor.

The Louisville metropolitan area includes the consolidated Louisville/Jefferson County and 12 surrounding Kentucky and Southern Indiana counties with an estimated 1.3 million residents in 2009. We also have banking offices in Bullitt County, south of Louisville, and Henry County, east of Louisville. Our six banking offices in these counties also serve the contiguous counties of Spencer, Shelby and Oldham to the east and northeast of Louisville. The area’s employers are diversified across many industries and include the air hub for United Parcel Service (“UPS”), two Ford assembly plants, General Electric’s Consumer and Industrial division, Humana, Norton Healthcare, Brown-Forman and YUM! Brands.

§
|
South Central Kentucky: South of the Louisville metropolitan area, we have banking offices in Butler, Edmonson, Green, Hart, and Ohio Counties, which had a combined population of approximately 79,000 in 2009. This region includes stable community markets comprised primarily of agricultural and service-based businesses. Each of our banking offices in these markets has a stable customer base and core deposits that are less sensitive to market competition, which provide us a lower cost source of funds for our lending operations.
|
Our Products and Services
We meet our customers’ banking needs with a broad range of financial products and services. Our lending services include real estate, commercial, mortgage and consumer loans to small to medium-sized businesses located in our markets, the owners and employees of those businesses, as well as other executives and professionals. We complement our lending operations with an array of retail and commercial deposit products. In addition, we offer our customers drive-through banking facilities, automatic teller machines, night depository, personalized checks, credit cards, debit cards, internet banking, electronic funds transfers through ACH services, domestic and foreign wire transfers, travelers’ checks, cash management, vault services, loan and deposit sweep accounts and lock box services. Through our trust division, we offer personal trust services, employer retirement plan services and personal financial and retirement planning services.

Employees
At December 31, 2010, the Company had 286 full-time equivalent employees. Our employees are not subject to a collective bargaining agreement, and management considers the Company’s relationship with employees to be good.
Competition
The banking business is highly competitive, and we experience competition in our market from many other financial institutions. Competition among financial institutions is based upon interest rates offered on deposit accounts, interest rates charged on loans, other credit and service charges relating to loans, the quality and scope of the services offered, the convenience of banking facilities and, in the case of loans to commercial borrowers, relative lending limits. We compete with commercial banks, credit unions, savings and loan associations, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market funds and other mutual funds, as well as super-regional, national and international financial institutions that operate offices within our market area and beyond.
There are a number of banks that offer services exclusively over the internet and other banks market their internet services to their customers nationwide. We believe that only the very largest of the commercial banks with which we compete offer the comprehensiveness of internet banking services that we are able to offer. However, many of the larger banks do have greater market presence and greater financial resources to market their internet banking services. Additionally, new competitors and competitive factors are likely to emerge, particularly in view of the rapid development of internet commerce. On the other hand, we believe that many customers still prefer to be able to conduct at least some of their banking transactions at local banking offices. We believe that these findings support our strategic decision to complement our traditional community bank with our uniquely branded online bank to offer customers the benefits of both traditional and internet banking services. We believe that this strategy will contribute to our growth in the future.
Supervision and Regulation
The following is a summary description of the relevant laws, rules and regulations governing banks and bank holding companies. The descriptions of, and references to, the statutes and regulations below are brief summaries and do not purport to be complete. The descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the specific statutes and regulations discussed.
The Dodd-Frank Act. On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 was signed into law. The Dodd-Frank Act imposes new restrictions and an expanded framework of regulatory oversight for financial institutions, including depository institutions. Because the Dodd-Frank Act requires various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of regulations with significant discretion, many of the details of the new law and the effects it will have on the Company are not known at this time.
The Dodd-Frank Act represents a comprehensive overhaul of the financial services industry within the United States. There are a number of reform provisions that are likely to significantly impact the ways in which banks and bank holding companies, including the Company, do business. For example, the Dodd-Frank Act changes the assessment base for federal deposit insurance premiums by modifying the deposit insurance assessment base calculation to be based on a depository institution’s consolidated assets less tangible capital instead of deposits, permanently increases the standard maximum amount of deposit insurance per customer to $250,000 and extends the unlimited deposit insurance on non-interest bearing transaction accounts through January 1, 2013. The Dodd-Frank Act also imposes more stringent capital requirements on bank holding companies by, among other things, imposing leverage ratios on bank holding companies and prohibiting new trust preferred issuances from counting as Tier I capital. The Dodd-Frank Act also repeals the federal prohibition on the payment of interest on demand deposits, thereby permitting depository institutions to pay interest on business transaction and other accounts. The Act codifies and expands the Federal Reserve’s source of strength doctrine, which requires that all bank holding companies serve as a source of financial strength for its subsidiary banks. Other provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act include, but are not limited to: (i) the creation of a new financial consumer protection agency that is empowered to promulgate new consumer protection regulations and revise existing regulations in many areas of consumer protection; (ii) enhanced regulation of financial markets, including derivatives and securitization markets; (iii) reform related to the regulation of credit rating agencies; (iv) the elimination of certain trading activities by banks; and (v) new disclosure and other requirements relating to executive compensation and corporate governance.
3
Many provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will not be implemented immediately and will require interpretation and rule making by federal regulators. The Company is monitoring all relevant sections of the Dodd-Frank Act to ensure continued compliance with laws and regulations. While the ultimate effect of the Dodd-Frank Act on the Company cannot currently be determined, the law is likely to result in increased compliance costs and fees paid to regulators, along with possible restrictions on the Company’s operations.
Porter Bancorp. Porter Bancorp is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. As such, we must file with the Federal Reserve Board annual and quarterly reports and other information regarding our business operations and the business operations of our subsidiaries. We are also subject to examination by the Federal Reserve Board and to operational guidelines established by the Federal Reserve Board. We are subject to the Bank Holding Company Act and other federal laws on the types of activities in which we may engage, and to other supervisory requirements, including regulatory enforcement actions for violations of laws and regulations.
Acquisitions. A bank holding company must obtain Federal Reserve Board approval before acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting stock or all or substantially all of the assets of a bank, merging or consolidating with any other bank holding company and before engaging, or acquiring a company that is not a bank but is engaged in certain non-banking activities. Federal law also prohibits a person or group of persons from acquiring “control” of a bank holding company without notifying the Federal Reserve Board in advance, and then only if the Federal Reserve Board does not object to the proposed transaction. The Federal Reserve Board has established a rebuttable presumptive standard that the acquisition of 10% or more of the voting stock of a bank holding company with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 would constitute an acquisition of control of the bank holding company. In addition, any company is required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board before acquiring 25% (5% in the case of an acquirer that is a bank holding company) or more of any class of a bank holding company’s voting securities, or otherwise obtaining control or a “controlling influence” over a bank holding company.
Permissible Activities. A bank holding company is generally permitted under the Bank Holding Company Act to engage in or acquire direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank, bank holding company or company engaged in any activity that the Federal Reserve Board determines to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident to the business of banking.
Under current federal law, a bank holding company may elect to become a financial holding company, which enables the holding company to conduct activities that are “financial in nature.” Activities that are “financial in nature” include securities underwriting, dealing and market making; sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies; insurance underwriting and agency; merchant banking activities; and activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be closely related to banking. No regulatory approval will be required for a financial holding company to acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are financial in nature, as determined by the Federal Reserve Board. We have not filed an election to become a financial holding company.
U.S. Treasury Capital Purchase Program. On November 21, 2008, pursuant to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s (the “U.S. Treasury”) Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”), established under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), Porter Bancorp issued and sold to the U.S. Treasury in an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, (i) 35,000 shares of Porter Bancorp’ Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, no par value and liquidation preference $1,000 per share ($35 million aggregate liquidation preference) (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 330,561 shares (adjusted for stock dividend) of Porter Bancorp’s common stock, at an exercise price of $15.88 per share (adjusted for stock dividend), subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments for an aggregate purchase price of $35 million in cash. The securities purchase agreement, dated November 21, 2008, pursuant to which the securities issued to the U.S. Treasury under the CPP were sold, limits the payment of dividends on Porter Bancorp’s common stock to the quarterly dividend level at the time of the transaction without prior approval of the U.S. Treasury, limits Porter Bancorp’s ability to repurchase shares of its common stock (with certain exceptions, including the repurchase of our common stock to offset share dilution from equity-based compensation awards) and grants registration rights to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Warrant and the common stock of Porter Bancorp to be issued upon any exercise of the Warrant.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (“ARRA”) was enacted on February 17, 2009. ARRA imposes certain executive compensation and corporate governance obligations on all current and future CPP recipients, including Porter Bancorp, until the institution has redeemed the preferred stock. On June 15, 2009, under the authority granted to it under EESA and ARRA, the U. S. Treasury issued an interim final rule under Section 111 of EESA, as amended by ARRA, regarding compensation and corporate governance restrictions that would be imposed on CPP recipients, effective June 15, 2009. As a CPP recipient with currently outstanding CPP obligations, we are subject to the compensation and corporate governance restrictions and requirements set forth in the interim final rule. The restrictions and requirements provided for in the implementing regulations are generally as follows: (1) required us to establish an independent compensation committee, (2) required us to adopt a corporate policy on luxury or excessive expenditures; (3) requires our compensation committee to conduct semi-annual risk assessments to assure that our compensation arrangements do not encourage “unnecessary and excessive risks” or the manipulation of earnings to increase compensation; (4) requires us to recoup or “clawback” any bonus, retention award or incentive compensation paid by us to a senior executive officer or any of our next 20 most highly compensated employees, if the payment was based on financial statements or other performance criteria that are later found to be materially inaccurate; (5) prohibits us from making severance payments or “golden parachutes” to any of our senior executive officers or next five most highly compensated employees; (6) prohibits us from paying or accruing bonuses, retention awards or incentive compensation, except for certain long-term stock awards, to our five most highly compensated employees; (7) prohibits us from providing tax gross-ups to any of our senior executive officers or next 20 most highly compensated employees; (8) requires us to provide enhanced disclosure of perquisites to the FDIC and the U.S. Treasury; (9) requires us to disclose to the FDIC and the U.S. Treasury the use and role of compensation consultants; (10) requires our chief executive officer and chief financial officer to provide period certifications about our compensation practices and compliance with the interim final rule; and (11) requires us to provide an annual non-binding shareholder vote, or “say-on-pay” proposal, to approve the compensation of our named executives, consistent with regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. On January 12, 2010, the SEC adopted final regulations setting forth the parameters for such say-on pay proposals for public company CPP participants.
Capital Adequacy Requirements. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted a system using risk-based capital guidelines to evaluate the capital adequacy of bank holding companies. Under the guidelines, specific categories of assets are assigned different risk weights, based generally on the perceived credit risk of the asset. These risk weights are multiplied by corresponding asset balances to determine a “risk-weighted” asset base. The guidelines require a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%. At least half of the total capital must be composed of common equity, retained earnings, senior perpetual preferred stock issued to the U. S. Treasury under the CPP and qualifying perpetual preferred stock and certain hybrid capital instruments, less certain intangible assets (“Tier 1 capital”). The remainder may consist of certain subordinated debt, certain hybrid capital instruments, qualifying preferred stock and a limited amount of the allowance for loan losses (“Tier 2 capital”). Total capital is the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. To be considered well-capitalized under the risk-based capital guidelines, an institution must maintain a total capital to total risk-weighted assets ratio of at least 10% and a Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets ratio of 6% or greater. As of December 31, 2010, our ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets was 16.3% and our ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets was 14.4%, both ratios significantly above the required amounts. PBI Bank has agreed with its primary regulators to maintain a ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of at least 12.0% and a ratio of Tier I capital to total risk-weighted asset of 9.0%.
In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the Federal Reserve Board uses a leverage ratio as an additional tool to evaluate the capital adequacy of bank holding companies. The leverage ratio is a company’s Tier 1 capital divided by its average total consolidated assets. Certain highly rated bank holding companies may maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 3.0%, but other bank holding companies may be required to maintain a leverage ratio of 4.0%. As of December 31, 2010, our leverage ratio of 11.1% was significantly above the required amount.
The federal banking agencies’ risk-based and leverage ratios are minimum supervisory ratios generally applicable to banking organizations that meet certain specified criteria, assuming that they have the highest regulatory rating. Banking organizations not meeting these criteria are expected to operate with capital positions well above the minimum ratios. The federal bank regulatory agencies may set capital requirements for a particular banking organization that are higher than the minimum ratios when circumstances warrant. Federal Reserve Board guidelines also provide that banking organizations experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels, without significant reliance on intangible assets.
Dividends. Under Federal Reserve policy, bank holding companies should pay cash dividends on common stock only out of income available over the past year and only if prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organization’s expected future needs and financial condition. The policy provides that bank holding companies should not declare a level of cash dividends that undermines the bank holding company’s ability to serve as a source of strength to its banking subsidiaries.

Porter Bancorp is a legal entity separate and distinct from PBI Bank. The majority of our revenue is from dividends paid to us by PBI Bank. PBI Bank is subject to laws and regulations that limit the amount of dividends it can pay. If, in the opinion of a federal regulatory agency, an institution under its jurisdiction is engaged in or is about to engage in an unsafe or unsound practice, the agency may require, after notice and hearing, that the institution cease such practice. The federal banking agencies have indicated that paying dividends that deplete an institution’s capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsafe and unsound banking practice. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA), an insured institution may not pay any dividend if payment would cause it to become undercapitalized or if it already is undercapitalized. Moreover, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC have issued policy statements providing that bank holding companies and banks should generally pay dividends only out of current operating earnings. A bank holding company may still declare and pay a dividend if it does not have current operating earnings if the bank holding company expects profits for the entire year and the bank holding company obtains the prior consent of the Federal Reserve. Porter Bancorp and PBI Bank must obtain the prior written consent of each of their primary regulators prior to declaring or paying any future dividends.
Under Kentucky law, dividends by Kentucky banks may be paid only from current or retained net profits. Before any dividend may be declared for any period (other than with respect to preferred stock), a bank must increase its capital surplus by at least 10% of the net profits of the bank for the period until the bank’s capital surplus equals the amount of its stated capital attributable to its common stock. Moreover, the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions must approve the declaration of dividends if the total dividends to be declared by a bank for any calendar year would exceed the bank’s total net profits for such year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus or a fund for the retirement of preferred stock or debt. We are also subject to the Kentucky Business Corporation Act, which generally prohibits dividends to the extent they result in the insolvency of the corporation from a balance sheet perspective or in the corporation becoming unable to pay debts as they come due. PBI Bank did not pay any dividends in 2010.
Prior to November 21, 2011, unless Porter Bancorp has redeemed all of the Series A Preferred Stock issued to the U.S. Treasury on November 21, 2008 or unless the U.S. Treasury has transferred all the preferred securities to a third party, the consent of the U.S. Treasury will be required for Porter Bancorp to declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on common stock other than (i) regular quarterly cash dividends of not more than the per share dividend amount at the time of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar transaction, (ii) dividends payable solely in shares of common stock and (iii) dividends or distributions of rights or junior stock in connection with a shareholders’ rights plan.
Imposition of Liability for Undercapitalized Subsidiaries. Bank regulators are required to take “prompt corrective action” to resolve problems associated with insured depository institutions whose capital declines below certain levels. In the event an institution becomes “undercapitalized,” it must submit a capital restoration plan. The capital restoration plan will not be accepted by the regulators unless each company having control of the undercapitalized institution guarantees the subsidiary’s compliance with the capital restoration plan up to a certain specified amount. Any such guarantee from a depository institution’s holding company is entitled to a priority of payment in bankruptcy.
The aggregate liability of the holding company of an undercapitalized bank is limited to the lesser of 5% of the institution’s assets at the time it became undercapitalized or the amount necessary to cause the institution to be “adequately capitalized.” The bank regulators have greater power in situations where an institution becomes “significantly” or “critically” undercapitalized or fails to submit a capital restoration plan. For example, a bank holding company controlling such an institution can be required to obtain prior Federal Reserve Board approval of proposed dividends, or might be required to consent to a consolidation or to divest the troubled institution or other affiliates.
Source of Financial Strength. Under Federal Reserve policy, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to, and to commit resources to support, its bank subsidiaries. This support may be required at times when, absent such a policy, the bank holding company may not be inclined to provide it. In addition, any capital loans by the bank holding company to its bank subsidiaries are subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of the bank subsidiary. In the event of a bank holding company’s bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of subsidiary banks will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment. The Federal Reserve’s “Source of Financial Strength” policy was codified in the Dodd-Frank Act.

PBI Bank. PBI Bank, a Kentucky chartered commercial bank, is subject to regular bank examinations and other supervision and regulation by both the FDIC and the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions (“KDFI”). Kentucky’s banking statutes contain a “super-parity” provision that permits a well-rated Kentucky banking corporation to engage in any banking activity which could be engaged in by a national bank operating in any state; a state bank, a thrift or savings bank operating in any other state; or a federal chartered thrift or federal savings association meeting the qualified thrift lender test and operating in any state could engage, provided the Kentucky bank first obtains a legal opinion specifying the statutory or regulatory provisions that permit the activity.
Capital Requirements. Similar to the Federal Reserve Board’s requirements for bank holding companies, the FDIC has adopted risk-based capital requirements for assessing state non-member banks’ capital adequacy. The FDIC’s risk-based capital guidelines require that all banks maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8.0% and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of 4.0%. To be well-capitalized, a bank must have a ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of at least 10.0% and a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of 6.0%. PBI Bank has agreed with its primary regulators to maintain a ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of at least 12.0% and a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of 9%. As of December 31, 2010, PBI Bank’s ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets was 14.7% and its ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets was 12.8%. PBI Bank has agreed with its primary regulators to maintain a ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of at least 12.0% and a ratio of Tier I capital to total risk-weighted asset of 9.0%.
The FDIC also requires a minimum leverage ratio of 3.0% of Tier 1 capital to total assets for the highest rated banks and an additional cushion of approximately 100-200 basis points for all other banks. As of December 31, 2010, PBI Bank’s leverage ratio was 9.9%. The leverage ratio operates in tandem with the FDIC’s risk-based capital guidelines and places a limit on the amount of leverage a bank can undertake by requiring a minimum level of capital to total assets.
Prompt Corrective Action. Pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”), the FDIC must take prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized institutions. FDIC regulations define the levels at which an insured institution would be considered “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized.” A “well-capitalized” bank has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or higher; a Tier 1 risk- based capital ratio of 6.0% or higher; a leverage ratio of 5.0% or higher; and is not subject to any written agreement, order or directive requiring it to maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. An “adequately capitalized” bank has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or higher; a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or higher; a leverage ratio of 4.0% or higher (3.0% or higher if the bank was rated a composite 1 in its most recent examination report and is not experiencing significant growth); and does not meet the criteria for a well-capitalized bank. A bank is “undercapitalized” if it fails to meet any one of the ratios required to be adequately capitalized. A depository institution may be deemed to be in a capitalization category that is lower than is indicated by its actual capital position if it receives an unsatisfactory examination rating. The degree of regulatory scrutiny increases and the permissible activities of a bank decreases, as the bank moves downward through the capital categories. Depending on a bank’s level of capital, the FDIC’s corrective powers include:
|
|
•
|
requiring a capital restoration plan;
|
|
|
•
|
placing limits on asset growth and restriction on activities;
|
|
|
•
|
requiring the bank to issue additional voting or other capital stock or to be acquired;
|
|
|
•
|
placing restrictions on transactions with affiliates;
|
|
|
•
|
restricting the interest rate the bank may pay on deposits;
|
|
|
•
|
ordering a new election of the bank’s board of directors;
|
|
|
•
|
requiring that certain senior executive officers or directors be dismissed;
|
|
|
•
|
prohibiting the bank from accepting deposits from correspondent banks;
|
|
|
•
|
requiring the bank to divest certain subsidiaries;
|
|
|
•
|
prohibiting the payment of principal or interest on subordinated debt; and
|
|
|
•
|
ultimately, appointing a receiver for the bank.
|

In the event an institution is required to submit a capital restoration plan, the institution’s holding company must guaranty the subsidiary’s compliance with the capital restoration plan up to a certain specified amount. Any such guarantee from a depository institution’s holding company is entitled to a priority of payment in bankruptcy. The aggregate liability of the holding company of an undercapitalized bank is limited to the lesser of 5% of the institution’s assets at the time it became undercapitalized or the amount necessary to cause the institution to be “adequately capitalized.” The bank regulators have greater power in situations where an institution becomes “significantly” or “critically” undercapitalized or fails to submit a capital restoration plan. For example, a bank holding company controlling such an institution can be required to obtain prior Federal Reserve Board approval of proposed dividends, or might be required to consent to a consolidation or to divest the troubled institution or other affiliates.
Deposit Insurance Assessments. The deposits of PBI Bank are insured by the Depositors Insurance Fund (DIF) of the FDIC up to the limits set forth under applicable law and are subject to the deposit insurance premium assessments of the DIF. The FDIC imposes a risk-based deposit premium assessment system, which was amended pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (the “Reform Act”). Under this system, as amended, the assessment rates for an insured depository institution vary according to the level of risk incurred in its activities. To arrive at an assessment rate for a banking institution, the FDIC places it in one of four risk categories determined by reference to its capital levels and supervisory ratings. The assessment rate schedule can change from time to time, at the discretion of the FDIC, subject to certain limits.
On November 12, 2009, the FDIC amended the final rule adopted on May 22, 2009 to restore losses to the DIF. The new rule required insured institutions to prepay on December 30, 2009, an estimated quarterly risk-based assessment for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all 2010, 2011, and 2012. An institution’s assessment is calculated by taking the institution’s actual September 30, 2009 assessment and adjusting it quarterly by an estimated 5% annual growth rate through the end of 2012. Further, the FDIC incorporated a uniform 3 basis point increase effective January 1, 2011. On December 30, 2009, PBI Bank prepaid $7.9 million of FDIC insurance premiums for the next three years. The entire amount of the prepaid assessment was recorded as a prepaid expense. As of December 31, 2009, and each quarter thereafter, each institution is to record an expense, or a charge to earnings, for its quarterly assessment invoiced on its quarterly statement and an offsetting credit to the prepaid assessment until the asset is exhausted. At December 31, 2010, our unexhausted prepaid assessment was $5.4 million.
The Dodd-Frank Act imposes additional assessments and costs with respect to deposits. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC is directed to impose deposit insurance assessments based on total assets rather than total deposits, as well as making permanent the increase of deposit insurance to $250,000 and providing for full insurance of non-interest bearing transaction accounts beginning December 31, 2010, for two years. In February 2011, the FDIC adopted a final rule on the deposit insurance assessment system. The rule is effective as of April 1, 2011 and revises the assessment system to comply with Dodd-Frank and also includes a revised assessment rate process with the goal of differentiating insured depository institutions who pose greater risk to the DIF. The first assessments under the new rule will be payable in the third quarter of 2011.
Safety and Soundness Standards. The FDIA requires the federal bank regulatory agencies to prescribe standards, by regulations or guidelines, relating to internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, asset quality, earnings, stock valuation and compensation, fees and benefits, and such other operational and managerial standards as the agencies deem appropriate. Guidelines adopted by the federal bank regulatory agencies establish general standards relating to internal controls and information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth and compensation, fees and benefits. In general, the guidelines require, among other things, appropriate systems and practices to identify and manage the risk and exposures specified in the guidelines. The guidelines prohibit excessive compensation as an unsafe and unsound practice and describe compensation as excessive when the amounts paid are unreasonable or disproportionate to the services performed by an executive officer, employee, director or principal stockholder. In addition, the agencies adopted regulations that authorize, but do not require, an agency to order an institution that has been given notice by an agency that it is not satisfying any of such safety and soundness standards to submit a compliance plan. If, after being so notified, an institution fails to submit an acceptable compliance plan or fails in any material respect to implement an acceptable compliance plan, the agency must issue an order directing action to correct the deficiency and may issue an order directing other actions of the types to which an undercapitalized institution is subject under the “prompt corrective action” provisions of FDIA. See “Prompt Corrective Actions” above. If an institution fails to comply with such an order, the agency may seek to enforce such order in judicial proceedings and to impose civil money penalties.

Branching. Kentucky law permits Kentucky chartered banks to establish a banking office in any county in Kentucky. A Kentucky bank may also establish a banking office outside of Kentucky. Well capitalized Kentucky banks that have been in operation at least three years and that satisfy certain criteria relating to, among other things, their composite and management ratings, may establish a banking office in Kentucky without the approval of the KDFI upon notice to the KDFI and any other state bank with its main office located in the county where the new banking office will be located. Branching by all other banks requires the approval of the KDFI, who must ascertain and determine that the public convenience and advantage will be served and promoted and that there is reasonable probability of the successful operation of the banking office.
The transaction must also be approved by the FDIC, which considers a number of factors, including financial history, capital adequacy, earnings prospects, character of management, needs of the community and consistency with corporate powers.
An out-of-state bank is permitted to establish banking offices in Kentucky only by merging with a Kentucky bank. De novo branching into Kentucky by an out-of-state bank is not permitted. This difficulty for out-of-state banks to branch in Kentucky may limit the ability of a Kentucky bank to branch into many states, as several states have reciprocity requirements for interstate branching. The Dodd-Frank Act permits de novo interstate branching by national banks and insured state banks by amending the state “opt-in” election. Applications for out-of-state de novo branches would be approved if, under the law of the state in which the branch is to be located, a state bank chartered by such state would have been permitted to establish the branch.
Insider Credit Transactions. The restrictions on loans to directors, executive officers, principal shareholders and their related interests (collectively referred to herein as “insiders”) contained in the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O apply to all insured depository institutions and their subsidiaries. These restrictions include limits on loans to one borrower and conditions that must be met before such a loan can be made. There is also an aggregate limitation on all loans to insiders and their related interests. These loans cannot exceed the institution’s total unimpaired capital and surplus.
Automated Overdraft Payment Regulation. The Federal Reserve and FDIC have recently enacted consumer protection regulations related to automated overdraft payment programs offered by financial institutions. In November 2009, the Federal Reserve amended its Regulation E to prohibit financial institutions from charging consumers fees for paying overdrafts on automated teller machine and one-time debit card transactions, unless a consumer consents, or opts in, to the overdraft service for those types of transactions. The Regulation E amendments also require financial institutions to provide consumers with a notice that explains the financial institution’s overdraft services, including the fees associated with the service and the consumer’s choices.
In November 2010, the FDIC supplemented the Regulation E amendments by requiring FDIC-supervised institutions to implement additional changes relating to automated overdraft payment programs by July 1, 2011. The most significant of these changes require financial institutions to monitor overdraft payment programs for “excessive or chronic” customer use and undertake “meaningful and effective” follow-up action with customers that overdraw their accounts more than six times during a rolling 12-month period. The additional guidance also imposes daily limits on overdraft charges, requires institutions to review and modify check-clearing procedures, prominently distinguish account balances from available overdraft coverage amounts and requires increased board and management oversight regarding overdraft payment programs.
Consumer Protection Laws. PBI Bank is subject to consumer laws and regulations that are designed to protect consumers in transactions with banks. While the list set forth herein is not exhaustive, these laws and regulations include the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and the Federal Trade Commission Act, among others. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions must deal with customers when taking deposits or making loans to such customers.
Privacy. Federal law currently contains extensive customer privacy protections provisions. Under these provisions, a financial institution must provide to its customers, at the inception of the customer relationship and annually thereafter, the institution’s policies and procedures regarding the handling of customers’ nonpublic personal financial information. These provisions also provide that, except for certain limited exceptions, an institution may not provide such personal information to unaffiliated third parties unless the institution discloses to the customer that such information may be so provided and the customer is given the opportunity to opt out of such disclosure. Federal law makes it a criminal offense, except in limited circumstances, to obtain or attempt to obtain customer information of a financial nature by fraudulent or deceptive means.
9
Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) requires the FDIC to assess our record in meeting the credit needs of the communities we serve, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods and persons. The FDIC’s assessment of our record is made available to the public. The assessment also is part of the Federal Reserve Board’s consideration of applications to acquire, merge or consolidate with another banking institution or its holding company, to establish a new banking office or to relocate an office.
Bank Secrecy Act. The Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 (“BSA”) was enacted to deter money laundering, establish regulatory reporting standards for currency transactions and improve detection and investigation of criminal, tax and other regulatory violations. BSA and subsequent laws and regulations require us to take steps to prevent the use of PBI Bank in the flow of illegal or illicit money, including, without limitation, ensuring effective management oversight, establishing sound policies and procedures, developing effective monitoring and reporting capabilities, ensuring adequate training and establishing a comprehensive internal audit of BSA compliance activities. In recent years, federal regulators have increased the attention paid to compliance with the provisions of BSA and related laws, with particular attention paid to “Know Your Customer” practices. Banks have been encouraged by regulators to enhance their identification procedures prior to accepting new customers in order to deter criminal elements from using the banking system to move and hide illegal and illicit activities.
USA Patriot Act. The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “Patriot Act”) contains anti-money laundering measures affecting insured depository institutions, broker-dealers and certain other financial institutions. The Patriot Act requires financial institutions to implement policies and procedures to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism, including standards for verifying customer identification at account opening, and rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering, and grants the Secretary of the Treasury broad authority to establish regulations and to impose requirements and restrictions on financial institutions’ operations. In addition, the Patriot Act requires the federal bank regulatory agencies to consider the effectiveness of a financial institution’s anti-money laundering activities when reviewing bank mergers and bank holding company acquisitions.
Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program. Under the FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP), the FDIC guaranteed U.S. depository institutions’ transaction accounts and certain qualifying senior unsecured debt. We participated in the TLGP’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program (TAGP), which provided that all non-interest bearing transaction accounts maintained at PBI Bank were insured in full by the FDIC, regardless of the standard maximum deposit insurance amounts. Although the guarantee of non-interest bearing transaction account deposits under the TLGP ended on June 30, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Act provides for unlimited FDIC deposit insurance coverage on non-interest bearing transaction accounts at all insured institutions, regardless of participation in the TLGP, until January 1, 2013.
Effect on Economic Environment. The policies of regulatory authorities, including the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve Board, have a significant effect on the operating results of bank holding companies and their subsidiaries. Among the means available to the Federal Reserve Board to affect the money supply 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 means are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and their use may affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for deposits.
Federal Reserve Board monetary policies have materially affected the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. The nature of future monetary policies and the effect of such policies on our business and earnings and those of our subsidiaries cannot be predicted.
Recently Enacted and Future Legislation. Various laws, regulations and governmental programs affecting financial institutions and the financial industry are from time to time introduced in Congress or otherwise promulgated by regulatory agencies. Such measures may change the operating environment of Porter Bancorp and its subsidiaries in substantial and unpredictable ways. The nature and extent of future legislative, regulatory or other changes affecting financial institutions is very unpredictable at this time.
We cannot predict what other legislation or economic policies of the various regulatory authorities might be enacted or adopted or what other regulations might be adopted or the effects thereof. Future legislation and policies and the effects thereof might have a significant influence on overall growth and distribution of loans, investments and deposits and affect interest rates charged on loans or paid on time and savings deposits. Such legislation and policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future.

An investment in our common stock involves a number of risks. Realization of any of the risks described below could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and/or future prospects.
Our business has been and may continue to be adversely affected by current conditions in the financial markets and by economic conditions generally.
The capital and credit markets have been experiencing unprecedented levels of volatility and disruption since 2008 In some cases, the markets have produced downward pressure on stock prices and credit availability for certain issuers without regard to those issuers’ underlying financial strength. Reduced consumer spending and the absence of liquidity in the global credit markets during the current recession have depressed business activity across a wide range of industries. Unemployment has also increased significantly. Ongoing weakness in business and economic conditions generally or specifically in our markets has had, and could continue to have one or more of the following adverse effects on our business:
|
|
·
|
A decrease in the demand for loans and other products and services offered by us;
|
|
|
·
|
A decrease in the value of collateral securing our loans;
|
|
|
·
|
An impairment of certain intangible assets, such as goodwill; and
|
|
|
·
|
An increase in the number of customers who become delinquent, file for protection under bankruptcy laws or default on their loans.
|
The general business environment has had an adverse effect on our business for the past three years, and it is not certain that the environment will improve in the near term. Until conditions improve, we expect our businesses, financial condition and results of operations to be adversely affected.
Current market developments could continue to adversely affect our industry, businesses and results of operations.
Over the past three years, the financial services industry as a whole, as well as the securities markets generally, have been materially and adversely affected by very significant declines in the values of nearly all asset classes and by a very serious lack of liquidity. Financial institutions in particular have been subject to increased volatility and an overall loss in investor confidence. The loss of confidence in the financial sector, increased volatility in the financial markets and reduced business activity could continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further negative market developments may affect consumer confidence levels and may cause adverse changes in payment patterns, causing increases in delinquencies and default rates, which may impact our charge-offs and provisions for credit losses. A worsening of these conditions would likely exacerbate the adverse effects of these difficult market conditions on us and others in the financial services industry.

A large percentage of our loans are collateralized by real estate, and further disruptions in the real estate market may result in losses and adversely affect our profitability.
Approximately 88.7% of our loan portfolio, as of December 31, 2010, was comprised of loans collateralized by real estate. The declining economic conditions have caused a decrease in demand for real estate which has resulted in declining real estate values in our markets. Further disruptions in the real estate market could significantly impair the value of our collateral and our ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure. The real estate collateral in each case provides an alternate source of repayment in the event of default by the borrower and may deteriorate in value during the time the credit is extended. If real estate values decline further, it will become more likely that we would be required to increase our allowance for loan losses. If during a period of reduced real estate values, we are required to liquidate the collateral securing a loan to satisfy the debt or to increase our allowance for loan losses, it could materially reduce our profitability and adversely affect our financial condition.
We have a significant percentage of real estate construction and development loans, which carry a higher degree of risk. The poor condition of the residential construction and commercial development real estate markets may lead to increased non-performing assets in our loan portfolio and increased provision expense for losses on loans, which could have a material adverse effect on our capital, financial condition and results of operations.
Approximately 15.3% of our loan portfolio as of December 31, 2010, consisted of real estate construction and development loans. These loans generally carry a higher degree of risk than long-term financing of existing properties because repayment depends on the ultimate completion of the project and usually on the sale of the property. If we are forced to foreclose on a project prior to its completion, we may not be able to recover the entire unpaid portion of the loan or we may be required to fund additional money to complete the project or hold the property for an indeterminate period of time. Any of these outcomes may result in losses and adversely affect our profitability.
The residential construction and commercial development real estate markets continue to experience challenging economic conditions. Further disruptions in these markets may lead to additional valuation adjustments on our loan portfolios and real estate owned as we continue to reassess the fair value of our non-performing assets, the loss severities of loans in default and the fair value of real estate owned. We also may realize additional losses in connection with our disposition of non-performing assets. A weak real estate market could further reduce demand for residential housing, which, in turn, could adversely affect the development and construction activities of residential real estate developers. Consequently, the longer the current economic conditions persist, the more likely they are to adversely affect the ability of residential real estate developer borrowers to repay these loans and the value of property used as collateral for such loans. These economic conditions and market factors have negatively affected some of our larger loans, causing our total net-charge offs to increase and requiring us to significantly increase our allowance for loan losses. If adverse economic conditions persist, these trends could continue to worsen. Any further increase in our non-performing assets and related increases in our provision expense for losses on loans could negatively affect our business and could have a material adverse effect on our capital, financial condition and results of operations.
Our decisions regarding credit risk may not be accurate, and our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover actual losses, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We maintain an allowance for loan losses at a level we believe is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses in our loan portfolio based on historical loan loss experience, specific problem loans, value of underlying collateral and other relevant factors. If our assessment of these factors is ultimately inaccurate, the allowance may not be sufficient to cover actual future loan losses, which would adversely affect our operating results. Our estimates are subjective and their accuracy depends on the outcome of future events. Changes in economic, operating and other conditions that are generally beyond our control could cause actual loan losses to increase significantly. In addition, bank regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their supervisory functions, periodically review the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses. Regulatory agencies have from time to time required us to increase our provision for loan losses or to recognize further loan charge-offs when their judgment has differed from ours, which could have a material negative impact on our operating results.
We may experience additional classified loans and non-performing assets in the foreseeable future if the real estate markets remain weak and cause more borrowers to default. Further, the value of the collateral underlying a given loan, and the realizable value of such collateral in a foreclosure sale, likely will be negatively affected if the real estate market remains weak, making us less likely to realize a full recovery if a borrower defaults on a loan. Any additional non-performing assets, loan charge-offs, increases in the provision for loan losses or any inability by us to realize the full value of underlying collateral in the event of a loan default, could negatively affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and the price of our securities.
12
We continue to hold and acquire a significant amount of OREO properties, which could increase operating expenses and result in future losses to the Company.
During 2010, we have acquired a significant amount of real estate as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure that is listed on our balance sheet as other real estate owned (OREO). Large OREO balances have led to increased expenses as we have incurred costs to manage and dispose of these properties and, in certain cases, complete construction of structures prior to sale. We expect that our operating results in 2011 will continue to be adversely affected by expenses associated with OREO, including insurance and taxes, completion and repair costs, and valuation adjustments, as well as by the funding costs associated with assets that are tied up in OREO. In addition, any further decreases in market prices of real estate in our market areas may lead to additional OREO write downs, with a corresponding expense in our income statement. We evaluate OREO property values periodically and write down the carrying value of the properties if and when the results of our evaluations require it.
Our profitability depends significantly on local economic conditions.
Because most of our business activities are conducted in central Kentucky and most of our credit exposure is in that region, we are at risk from adverse economic or business developments affecting this area, including declining regional and local business and employment activity, a downturn in real estate values and agricultural activities and natural disasters. To the extent the central Kentucky economy remains weak, the rates of delinquencies, foreclosures, bankruptcies and losses in our loan portfolio will likely increase. Moreover, the value of real estate or other collateral that secures our loans could be adversely affected by the economic downturn or a localized natural disaster. The economic downturn has had a negative impact on our financial results and may continue to have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.
If we experience greater credit losses than anticipated, our earnings may be adversely affected.
As a lender, we are exposed to the risk that our customers will be unable to repay their loans according to their terms and that any collateral securing the payment of their loans may not be sufficient to assure repayment. Credit losses are inherent in the business of making loans and could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Our credit risk with respect to our real estate and construction loan portfolio will relate principally to the creditworthiness of borrowers and the value of the real estate serving as security for the repayment of loans. Our credit risk with respect to our commercial and consumer loan portfolio will relate principally to the general creditworthiness of businesses and individuals within our local markets.
We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of our loan portfolio and provide an allowance for estimated credit losses based on a number of factors. We believe that our allowance for credit losses is adequate. However, if our assumptions or judgments are wrong, our allowance for credit losses may not be sufficient to cover our actual credit losses. We may have to increase our allowance in the future in response to the request of one of our primary banking regulators, to adjust for changing conditions and assumptions, or as a result of any deterioration in the quality of our loan portfolio. The actual amount of future provisions for credit losses cannot be determined at this time and may vary from the amounts of past provisions.
Our profitability is vulnerable to fluctuations in interest rates.
Changes in interest rates could harm our financial condition or results of operations. Our results of operations depend substantially on net interest income, the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets (such as investments and loans) and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities (such as deposits and borrowings). Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary policies and domestic and international economic and political conditions. Factors beyond our control, such as inflation, recession, unemployment and money supply may also affect interest rates. If our interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than our interest-bearing liabilities in a given period as a result of decreasing interest rates, our net interest income may decrease. Likewise, our net interest income may decrease if interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period as a result of increasing interest rates.
Fixed-rate loans increase our exposure to interest rate risk in a rising rate environment because interest-bearing liabilities would be subject to repricing before assets become subject to repricing. Adjustable-rate loans decrease the risk associated with changes in interest rates but involve other risks, such as the inability of borrowers to make higher payments in an increasing interest rate environment. At the same time, for secured loans, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. In a declining interest rate environment, there may be an increase in prepayments on loans as the borrowers refinance their loans at lower interest rates, which could reduce net interest income and harm our results of operations.
13
If we cannot obtain adequate funding, we may not be able to meet the cash flow requirements of our depositors and borrowers, or meet the operating cash needs of the Company to fund corporate expansion or other activities.
Our liquidity policies and limits are established by the Board of Directors of PBI Bank, with operating limits set by the Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”), based upon analyses of the ratio of loans to deposits and the percentage of assets funded with non-core or wholesale funding. The ALCO regularly monitors the overall liquidity position of PBI Bank and the Company to ensure that various alternative strategies exist to cover unanticipated events that could affect liquidity. Liquidity is the ability to meet cash flow needs on a timely basis at a reasonable cost. If our liquidity policies and strategies don’t work as well as intended, then we may be unable to make loans and to repay deposit liabilities as they become due or are demanded by customers. The ALCO follows established board approved policies and monitors guidelines to diversify our wholesale funding sources to avoid concentrations in any one-market source. Wholesale funding sources include Federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, non-core brokered deposits, and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances that are collateralized with mortgage-related assets.
We maintain a portfolio of securities that can be used as a secondary source of liquidity. There are other available sources of liquidity, including the ability to acquire additional non-core brokered deposits, additional collateralized borrowings such as FHLB advances, the issuance of debt securities, and the issuance of preferred or common securities in public or private transactions. If we were unable to access any of these funding sources when needed, we might not be able to meet the needs of our customers, which could adversely impact our financial condition, our results of operations, cash flows and our level of regulatory-qualifying capital.
Our small to medium-sized business portfolio may have fewer resources to weather the downturn in the
economy.
Our portfolio includes loans to small and medium-sized businesses and other commercial enterprises. Small and medium-sized businesses frequently have smaller market shares than their competitors, may be more vulnerable to economic downturns, often need substantial additional capital to expand or compete and may experience substantial variations in operating results, any of which may impair a borrower’s ability to repay a loan. In addition, the success of a small or medium-sized business often depends on the management talents and efforts of one or two persons or a small group of persons, and the death, disability or resignation of one or more of these persons could have a material adverse impact on the business and its ability to repay our loan. A continued economic downturn could have a more pronounced negative impact on our target market, which could cause us to incur substantial credit losses that could materially harm our operating results.
We may need to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when needed or at all.
We may need to raise additional capital in the future to provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet our commitments and business needs. Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on, among other things, conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside of our control, and our financial performance. Capital may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. An inability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms when needed could have a materially adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition and results of operations.
There may be future sales or other dilution of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We are not restricted from issuing additional common stock, including securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock. The issuance of additional shares of common stock or the issuance of convertible securities would dilute the ownership interest of our existing common shareholders. The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of such an offering as well as other sales of a large block of shares of our common stock or similar securities in the market after such an offering, or the perception that such sales could occur.
Our issuance of securities to the U.S. Department of the Treasury may limit our ability to return capital to our shareholders and is dilutive to our common shares. In addition, the dividend rate increases substantially after five years if we do not redeem the shares by that time.
On November 21, 2008, as part of the Capital Purchase Program established under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), we sold $35 million of senior preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury. We also issued to the U.S. Treasury a warrant to purchase 299,829 shares of our common stock at $17.51 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments. The warrant is currently exercisable for 330,561 shares at an exercise price of $15.88, based on our 2009 and 2010 5% stock dividends. The terms of the transaction with the U.S. Treasury limit our ability to pay dividends and repurchase our shares. For three years after issuance or until the U.S. Treasury no longer holds any preferred shares, we will not be able to increase our dividends above the current quarterly amount nor repurchase any of our shares without the U.S. Treasury’s approval with limited exceptions, most significantly the repurchase of our common stock to offset share dilution from equity-based compensation awards. Also, we will not be able to pay any dividends at all unless we are current on our dividend payments on the preferred shares. These restrictions, as well as the dilutive impact of the warrant, may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
14
Unless we are able to redeem the preferred stock during the first five years, the dividends on this capital will increase substantially at that point, from 5% (approximately $1.75 million annually) to 9% (approximately $3.15 million annually). Depending on market conditions and our financial performance at the time, this increase in dividends could significantly impact our capital, liquidity and earnings available to common shareholders.
The U.S. Treasury has the unilateral ability to change some of the restrictions imposed on us by virtue of our sale of securities to it.
Our agreement with the U.S. Treasury under which it purchased our senior preferred stock imposes restrictions on the conduct of our business, including restrictions related to our payment of dividends, repurchases of our stock and our executive compensation and corporate governance. The U.S. Treasury has the right under this agreement to unilaterally amend it to the extent required to comply with any future changes in federal statutes. These amendments could have an adverse impact on the conduct of our business, as could additional amendments in the future that impose further requirements or amend existing requirements.
Our chairman and our president and chief executive officer together have sufficient voting power to elect or remove our directors, to determine the vote on any matter that requires shareholder approval, and otherwise control our company. In exercising their voting power, they may act according to their own interests, which may be adverse to your interests.
As of December 31, 2010, J. Chester Porter and Maria L. Bouvette beneficially owned approximately 6,057,606 shares, or 51.1% of our outstanding common stock. Mr. Porter and Ms. Bouvette each have made testamentary arrangements that provide for the other to retain voting control of his or her common stock in the event of death. Accordingly, they will be able to exercise control over our business and affairs and will be able to determine the outcome of any matter submitted to a vote of our shareholders, including the election and removal of our entire board of directors, any amendment of our articles of incorporation (including any amendment that changes the rights of our common stock) and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. Mr. Porter and Ms. Bouvette could take actions or make decisions in their self-interest that are opposed to your best interests. They could remove directors who take actions or make decisions they oppose but are favored by our other shareholders. They may be less receptive to the desires communicated by shareholders. Neither our articles of incorporation, our bylaws, nor Kentucky law requires the vote of more than a simple majority of our outstanding shares of common stock to approve a matter submitted for shareholder approval, subject to the general statutory requirement that any transaction in which one or more directors have a direct or indirect interest (other than as a shareholder) must be “fair” to the corporation. Mr. Porter and Ms. Bouvette have a level of concentrated control that could discourage others from initiating any potential merger, takeover or other change of control transaction that may otherwise give you the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price of our common stock. As a result, the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected.
15
We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the NASDAQ corporate governance rules because J. Chester Porter and Maria L. Bouvette together own more than 50% of our sole class of voting stock. As a controlled company, our controlling shareholders have greater power to make decisions in their own self-interest and against the interests of other shareholders, and investors and other shareholders will have fewer procedural and substantive protections against the exercise of this power.
A “controlled company” may elect not to comply with the following NASDAQ corporate governance rules, which require that:
|
|
·
|
a majority of its board of directors consists of “independent directors,” which the NASDAQ rules define as persons who are not either officers or employees of the company and have no relationships that, in the opinion of the board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out their responsibilities as directors;
|
|
|
·
|
decisions regarding the compensation paid to executive officers are made either by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors; and
|
|
|
·
|
nominations for election to the board of directors are made either by a nominating committee composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities or by a majority of the independent directors.
|
Although a majority of our directors are independent directors, they have all been selected by Mr. Porter and Ms. Bouvette, who together have the voting power to remove directors who oppose actions or decisions they favor. Mr. Porter and Ms. Bouvette also have the power to elect a majority of directors who are not independent directors. Our board may elect to dispense with the nominating and governance committee at any time without shareholder consent. Accordingly, our shareholders have fewer procedural and substantive protections than shareholders of companies subject to all of the NASDAQ corporate governance requirements.
If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our operations could be negatively affected.
Financial institutions like us that have experience rapid growth face various risks and difficulties, including:
|
|
·
|
attracting funding to support additional growth;
|
|
|
·
|
maintaining asset quality;
|
|
|
·
|
attracting and retaining qualified management; and
|
|
|
·
|
maintaining adequate regulatory capital.
|
In addition, in order to manage our growth and maintain adequate information and reporting systems within our organization, we must identify, hire and retain additional qualified employees, particularly in the accounting and operational areas of our business.
If we do not manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be negatively affected, and we may not be able to continue to implement our business strategy and successfully conduct our operations.
We may not be able to maintain our historical earnings trends if we are not able to continue to grow.
We have expanded our business through both organic growth and a number of strategic acquisitions. Our ability to continue our organic growth depends, in part, upon our ability to expand our market presence, successfully attract core deposits and identify attractive commercial lending opportunities. If we are not able to do this successfully, we may not be able to maintain our historical earnings trends.
Our ability to implement our strategy for continued growth also depends on our ability to continue to identify and integrate acquisition targets profitably. We may not be able to continue this trend, nor may future acquisitions always be profitable. In addition, increased regulatory scrutiny may limit the ability to make future acquisitions. We also expect that competition for suitable acquisition candidates will be significant. We compete with other banks or financial service companies with similar acquisition strategies, many of which are larger and have greater financial and other resources than we do. We may not be able to successfully identify and acquire suitable acquisition targets on acceptable terms and conditions.
16
Higher FDIC deposit insurance premiums and assessments could significantly increase our non-interest expense.
Our deposits are insured by the FDIC up to legal limits and, accordingly, we are subject to FDIC deposit insurance assessments. High levels of bank failures over the past three years and increases in the statutory deposit insurance limits have increased resolution costs to the FDIC and put pressure on the DIF. In order to maintain a strong funding position and restore the reserve ratios of the DIF, the FDIC increased assessment rates on insured institutions, charged a special assessment to all insured institutions as of June 30, 2009 and required banks to prepay three years’ worth of premiums on December 30, 2009. If there are additional financial institution failures, we may be required to pay even higher FDIC premiums than the recently increased levels, or the FDIC may charge additional special assessments. Further, the FDIC recently increased the DIF’s target reserve ratio to 2.0 percent of insured deposits following the Dodd-Frank Act’s elimination of the 1.5 percent cap on the DIF’s reserve ratio. Additional increases in our assessment rate may be required in the future to achieve this targeted reserve ratio. These recent increases in deposit assessments and any future increases, required prepayments or special assessments of FDIC insurance premiums may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Additionally, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC must amend its regulations regarding assessment for federal deposit insurance to base such assessments on the average total consolidated assets of the insured institution during the assessment period, less the average tangible equity of the institution during the assessment period. Currently, we are assessed only on deposit balances. The FDIC adopted a rule implementing this change, as well as adopting a revised risk-based assessment calculation in February 2011. The FDIC has also proposed a rule tying assessment rates of FDIC-insured institutions to the institution’s employee compensation programs. The exact nature and cumulative effect of these recent changes are not yet known, but they are expected to increase the amount of premiums we must pay for FDIC insurance. Any such increase may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We are a holding company and depend on our subsidiaries for dividends and distributions.
We are a legal entity separate and distinct from our banking and other subsidiaries. Our principal source of cash flow, from which we fund any dividends paid to our shareholders, is dividends from PBI Bank. There are statutory and regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends by PBI Bank to us, as well as by us to our shareholders. Regulations of the Federal Reserve affect our ability to pay dividends and other distributions to our shareholders. Regulations of the FDIC and the KDFI affect the ability of PBI Bank to pay dividends and other distributions to us, and PBI Bank has agreed to obtain the prior consent of those regulators before it can pay dividends to us. See the “Supervision-Porter Bancorp-Dividends” section of Item 1. “Business” and the “Dividends” section of Item 5. “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We may not pay dividends on your common stock and we have agreed with the Federal Reserve to obtain its written consent before declaring or paying any future dividends.
Holders of shares of our common stock are only entitled to receive such dividends as our board of directors may declare from funds legally available for such payments. Although we have historically declared cash dividends on our common stock, we are not required to do so and may reduce or eliminate our common stock dividend in the future. This could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Also, participation in the CPP limits our ability to increase our dividend or to repurchase our common stock for so long as any securities issued under such program remain outstanding, as discussed in greater detail in the “Dividends” section of Item 5. “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have reduced our quarterly dividend to $0.01 per share. There can be no assurance that we will pay dividends to our shareholders in the future, or if dividends are paid, that we will increase our dividend to historical levels or otherwise. Our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders is not only subject to limitations imposed by the terms of the CPP, but also by limitations and guidance issued by the Federal Reserve. For example, under Federal Reserve guidance, bank holding companies generally are advised to consult in advance with the Federal Reserve before declaring dividends, and to strongly consider reducing, deferring or eliminating dividends, in certain situations, such as when declaring or paying a dividend that would exceed earnings for the fiscal quarter for which the dividend is being paid, or when declaring or paying a dividend that could result in a material adverse change to the organization's capital structure. In addition, Porter Bancorp has agreed with the Federal Reserve to obtain its written consent prior to declaring or paying any future dividends.
We face strong competition from other financial institutions and financial service companies, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We compete with other financial institutions in attracting deposits and making loans. Our competition in attracting deposits comes principally from other commercial banks, credit unions, savings and loan associations, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market funds and other mutual funds. Our competition in making loans comes principally from other commercial banks, credit unions, savings and loan associations, mortgage banking firms and consumer finance companies. In addition, competition for business in the Louisville metropolitan area has grown in recent years as changes in banking law have allowed several banks to enter the market by establishing new branches. Likewise, competition is increasing in the other growing markets we have targeted, which may adversely affect our ability to execute our plans for expansion. Moreover, our advantage from having operated a nationally recognized online banking division since 1999 may diminish, as nearly all of our competitors now offer online banking and may become more successful in attracting online business over time as they become more experienced.
17
Competition in the banking industry may also limit our ability to attract and retain banking clients. We maintain smaller staffs of associates and have fewer financial and other resources than larger institutions with which we compete. Financial institutions that have far greater resources and greater efficiencies than we do may have several marketplace advantages resulting from their ability to:
|
|
·
|
offer higher interest rates on deposits and lower interest rates on loans than we can;
|
|
|
·
|
offer a broader range of services than we do;
|
|
|
·
|
maintain more branch locations than we do; and
|
|
|
·
|
mount extensive promotional and advertising campaigns.
|
In addition, banks and other financial institutions with larger capitalization and other financial intermediaries may not be subject to the same regulatory restrictions as we are and may have larger lending limits than we do. Some of our current commercial banking clients may seek alternative banking sources as they develop needs for credit facilities larger than we can accommodate. If we are unable to attract and retain customers, we may not be able to maintain growth and our results of operations and financial condition may otherwise be negatively impacted.
We depend on our senior management team, and the unexpected loss of one or more of our senior executives could impair our relationship with customers and adversely affect our business and financial results.
Our future success significantly depends on the continued services and performance of our key management personnel, particularly J. Chester Porter, chairman of the board, Maria L. Bouvette, president and chief executive officer, and David B. Pierce, chief financial officer. We do not have employment agreements with any of our senior executives. Our future performance will depend on our ability to motivate and retain these and other key officers. The loss of the services of members of our senior management or other key officers or the inability to attract additional qualified personnel as needed could materially harm our business.
Our reported financial results depend on management’s selection of accounting methods and certain assumptions and estimates.
Our accounting policies and assumptions are fundamental to our reported financial condition and results of operations. Our management must exercise judgment in selecting and applying many of these accounting policies and methods so they comply with generally accepted accounting principles and reflect management’s judgment of the most appropriate manner to report our financial condition and results. In some cases, management must select the accounting policy or method to apply from two or more alternatives, any of which may be reasonable under the circumstances, yet may result in our reporting materially different results than would have been reported under a different alternative.
Certain accounting policies are critical to presenting our reported financial condition and results. They require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments about matters that are uncertain. Materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions or estimates. These critical accounting policies include: the allowance for credit losses; intangible assets; mortgage servicing rights; and income taxes. Because of the uncertainty of estimates involved in these matters, we may be required to do one or more of the following: significantly increase the allowance for credit losses and/or sustain credit losses that are significantly higher than the reserve provided; recognize significant impairment on our goodwill, other intangible assets and deferred tax asset balances; or significantly increase our accrued income taxes.
The value of our goodwill and other intangible assets may decline in the future.
A significant decline in our expected future cash flows, a significant adverse change in the business climate, slower growth rates or a significant and sustained decline in the price of our common stock, any or all of which could be materially impacted by many of the risk factors discussed herein, may necessitate our taking charges in the future related to the impairment of our goodwill. Future regulatory actions could also have a material impact on assessments of goodwill for impairment. We test goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives for impairment at least annually and more frequently if circumstances indicate their value may not be recoverable. If we were to conclude that a future write-down of our goodwill and other intangible assets is necessary, we would record the appropriate charge, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
18
While management continually monitors and improves our system of internal controls, data processing systems, and corporate wide processes and procedures, we may suffer losses from operational risk in the future.
Management maintains internal operational controls and we have invested in technology to help us process large volumes of transactions. However, we may not be able to continue processing at the same or higher levels of transactions. If our systems of internal controls should fail to work as expected, if our systems were to be used in an unauthorized manner, or if employees were to subvert the system of internal controls, significant losses could occur.
We process large volumes of transactions on a daily basis and are exposed to numerous types of operational risk, which could cause us to incur substantial losses. Operational risk resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, and systems includes the risk of fraud by employees or persons outside of our company, the execution of unauthorized transactions by employees, errors relating to transaction processing and systems, and breaches of the internal control system and compliance requirements. This risk of loss also includes potential legal actions that could arise as a result of the operational deficiency or as a result of noncompliance with applicable regulatory standards.
We establish and maintain systems of internal operational controls that provide management with timely and accurate information about our level of operational risk. While not foolproof, these systems have been designed to manage operational risk at appropriate, cost effective levels. We have also established procedures that are designed to ensure that policies relating to conduct, ethics and business practices are followed. Nevertheless, we experience loss from operational risk from time to time, including the effects of operational errors, and these losses may be substantial.
We operate in a highly regulated environment and, as a result, are subject to extensive regulation and supervision that could adversely affect our financial performance and our ability to implement our growth and operating strategies.
We are subject to examination, supervision and comprehensive regulation by federal and state regulatory agencies, which is described under “Item 1 - Business—Supervision and Regulation.” Regulatory oversight of banks is primarily intended to protect depositors, the federal deposit insurance funds, and the banking system as a whole, not our shareholders. Compliance with these regulations is costly and may make it more difficult to operate profitably.
Federal and state banking laws and regulations govern numerous matters including the payment of dividends, the acquisition of other banks and the establishment of new banking offices. We must also meet specific regulatory capital requirements. Our failure to comply with these laws, regulations and policies or to maintain our capital requirements could affect our ability to pay dividends on common stock, our ability to grow through the development of new offices and our ability to make acquisitions. These limitations may prevent us from successfully implementing our growth and operating strategies.
In addition, the laws and regulations applicable to banks could change at any time, which could significantly impact our business and profitability. For example, new legislation or regulation could limit the manner in which we may conduct our business, including our ability to attract deposits and make loans. Events that may not have a direct impact on us, such as the bankruptcy or insolvency of a prominent U.S. corporation, can cause legislators and banking regulators and other agencies such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and various taxing authorities to respond by adopting and or proposing substantive revisions to laws, regulations, rules, standards, policies and interpretations. The nature, extent, and timing of the adoption of significant new laws and regulations, or changes in or repeal of existing laws and regulations may have a material impact on our business and results of operations. Changes in regulation may cause us to devote substantial additional financial resources and management time to compliance, which may negatively affect our operating results.
Changes in banking laws could have a material adverse effect on us.
We are subject to changes in federal and state laws as well as changes in banking and credit regulations, and governmental economic and monetary policies. We cannot predict whether any of these changes may adversely and materially affect us. The current regulatory environment for financial institutions entails significant potential increases in compliance requirements and associated costs. Federal and state banking regulators also possess broad powers to take supervisory actions as they deem appropriate. These supervisory actions may result in higher capital requirements, higher insurance premiums and limitations on our activities that could have a material adverse effect on our business and profitability.
19
Recent legislation regarding the financial services industry may have a significant adverse effect on our operations.
The Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law on July 21, 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act will implement significant changes to the U.S. financial system, including among others:
|
|
·
|
new requirements on banking, derivative and investment activities, including the repeal of the prohibition on the payment of interest on business demand accounts, debit card interchange fee requirements, and the “Volcker Rule,” which restricts the sponsorship, or the acquisition or retention of ownership interests, in private equity funds;
|
|
|
·
|
the creation of a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with supervisory authority, including the power to conduct examinations and take enforcement actions with respect to financial institutions with assets of $10 billion or more;
|
|
|
·
|
the creation of a Financial Stability Oversight Council with authority to identify institutions and practices that might pose a systemic risk;
|
|
|
·
|
provisions affecting corporate governance and executive compensation of all companies subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;
|
|
|
·
|
a provision that would broaden the base for FDIC insurance assessments; and
|
|
|
·
|
a provision that would require bank regulators to set minimum capital levels for bank holding companies that are as strong as those required for their insured depository subsidiaries, subject to a grandfather clause for holding companies with less than $15 billion in assets as of December 31, 2009.
|
Many provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act remain subject to regulatory rule-making and implementation, the effects of which are not yet known. As a result, it is difficult to gauge the ultimate impact of certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act because the implementation of many concepts is left to regulatory agencies. For example, the CFPB is given the power to adopt new regulations to protect consumers and is given control over existing consumer protection regulations adopted by federal banking regulators.
The provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and any rules adopted to implement those provisions as well as any additional legislative or regulatory changes may impact the profitability of our business activities and costs of operations, require that we change certain of our business practices, materially affect our business model or affect retention of key personnel, require us to raise additional regulatory capital, including additional Tier 1 capital, and could expose us to additional costs (including increased compliance costs). These and other changes may also require us to invest significant management attention and resources to make any necessary changes and may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business as previously conducted or our results of operations or financial condition.
As a result of our participation in the Capital Purchase Program, we are subject to significant restrictions on compensation payable to our executive officers and other key employees.
Our ability to attract and retain key officers and employees may be further impacted by legislation and regulation affecting the financial services industry. As noted above, in early 2009, the ARRA was signed into law. The ARRA, through the implementing regulations of the U.S. Treasury, significantly expanded the executive compensation restrictions originally imposed on CPP participants. Among other things, these restrictions impose limits on our ability to pay bonuses and other incentive compensation and to make severance payments. These restrictions will continue to apply to us for as long as the preferred stock we issued pursuant to the Capital Purchase Program remains outstanding. These restrictions may negatively affect our ability to compete with financial institutions that are not subject to the same limitations.

Dividends
Shareholders of a Kentucky corporation are entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions when, as and if declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available for distributions to shareholders. Any future determination relating to the payment of dividends will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on a number of factors, including our future earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, future prospects and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Also, Porter Bancorp is a bank holding company, and its ability to declare and pay dividends depends on certain federal regulatory considerations, including the guidelines of the Federal Reserve regarding capital adequacy and dividends. Porter Bancorp has agreed with the Federal Reserve to obtain its written consent prior to declaring or paying any future dividends.
As a bank holding company, our principal source of revenue is the dividends that may be declared from time to time by PBI Bank out of funds legally available for payment of dividends. PBI Bank must obtain the prior written consent of its primary regulators prior to declaring or paying any future dividends. In addition to this current restriction, various banking laws applicable to PBI Bank limit its payment of dividends to us. A Kentucky chartered bank may declare a dividend of an amount of the bank’s net profits as the board deems appropriate. The approval of the KDFI is required if the total of all dividends declared by the bank in any calendar year exceeds the total of its net profits for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus or a fund for the retirement of preferred stock or debt. On July 1, 2008, PBI Bank sold a $9 million subordinated capital note to Silverton Bank, N.A., which has been assumed by the FDIC as receiver for Silverton Bank, N.A. The capital note provides that if PBI Bank is in default under the terms of the capital note, PBI Bank would be prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock.
On November 21, 2008, we sold $35 million of senior preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury pursuant to the CPP. The terms of the transaction with the U.S. Treasury limit our ability to pay dividends. For three years after issuance or until the U.S. Treasury no longer holds any preferred shares, we will not be able to increase our dividends above the quarterly dividend level at the time of the transaction without the U.S. Treasury’s approval with limited exceptions, most significantly the repurchase of our common stock to offset share dilution from equity-based compensation awards. Also, we will not be able to pay any dividends at all unless we are current on our dividend payments on the preferred shares.
In addition, we have issued an aggregate of approximately $25.0 million in our junior subordinated debentures to our subsidiary trusts. We pay interest on the debentures, which is used by the trusts to pay distributions on the trust preferred securities issued by them. The indenture governing the issuance of each of these debentures provides that if we fail to make an interest payment on the debentures, we would be prohibited from paying dividends on our common stock until all debenture interest payments are current. Accordingly, if we are unable to pay interest on these debentures, we will be contractually restricted from paying dividends on our common stock.
Purchase of Equity Securities by Issuer
The Company did not repurchase any shares in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations analyzes the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Porter Bancorp Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, PBI Bank. Porter Bancorp, Inc. is a Louisville, Kentucky-based bank holding company which operates 18 full-service banking offices in twelve counties through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PBI Bank. Our markets include metropolitan Louisville in Jefferson County and the surrounding counties of Henry and Bullitt, and extend south along the Interstate 65 corridor to Tennessee. We serve south central Kentucky and southern Kentucky from banking offices in Butler, Green, Hart, Edmonson, Barren, Warren, Ohio, and Daviess Counties. We also have an office in Lexington, Kentucky, the second largest city in Kentucky. Our markets have experienced annual positive deposit growth rates in recent years with the trend expected to continue for the next few years. The Bank is both a traditional community bank with a wide range of commercial and personal banking products and an innovative online bank which delivers competitive deposit products and services through an on-line banking division operating under the name of Ascencia.
Historically, we have focused on commercial and commercial real estate lending, both in markets where we have banking offices and other growing markets in our region. Commercial, commercial real estate and real estate construction loans accounted for 62.7% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2010, and 65.8% as of December 31, 2009. Commercial lending generally produces higher yields than residential lending, but involves greater risk and requires more rigorous underwriting standards and credit quality monitoring.
Overview
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and other schedules presented elsewhere in the report.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, we reported a net loss of $4.4 million compared to net income of $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. After deductions for dividends on preferred stock, accretion on preferred stock, and earnings allocated to participating securities, the net loss available to common shareholders was $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $9.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Basic and diluted loss per common share were $(0.60) for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to earnings per common share of $1.00 for 2009. The decline in our financial performance in 2010 was due to the continued weakness in the real estate market and its effects on values of collateral securing our loans and other real estate owned, as well as on some customers’ ability to repay their loans. As a result of these trends we charged off a high level of construction and land development loans and wrote down other real estate owned (OREO) to reflect lower appraisal values. Non-performing loans were 4.63% of total loans and nonperforming assets stand at 7.43% of total assets at December 31, 2010. We remain diligent in the management of our portfolio and are striving to improve credit quality by working throughout our markets with our clients to balance selective new customer acquisition, customer service for our existing clients and prudent risk management.
25
Significant developments for the year ended December 31, 2010 were:
|
|
§
|
Loans decreased 7.8% to $1.30 billion compared to $1.41 billion at December 31, 2009.
|
|
|
§
|
Total assets decreased 6.1% to $1.7 billion since the 2009 year-end.
|
|
|
§
|
Deposits declined 4.1% to $1.47 billion compared with $1.53 billion at December 31, 2009.
|
|
|
§
|
Our capital ratios were strengthened during 2010 with capital raises of approximately $32 million. At December 31, 2010, our total risk-based capital ratio rose to 16.3% from 13.8% at December 31, 2009, well above the 10.0% requirement for a well-capitalized institution.
|
|
|
§
|
Our efficiency ratio was 72.0% for 2010 compared with 50.1% for 2009.
|
|
|
§
|
Net interest margin increased to 3.59% for 2010 compared to 3.33% for 2009 as a result of lower average cost of funds.
|
|
|
§
|
Non-performing assets increased from $99.5 million at December 31, 2009, to $128 million at December 31, 2010. The bulk of our non-performing assets are the result of weakness in our construction and land development portfolio. We have made solid progress in reducing our exposure to higher risk construction and land development loans. Since year-end 2008, our construction and land development loans have been reduced by 46.3% and represented only 15.3% of our loan portfolio at year-end 2010. We also continue to be diligent in moving non-performing loans through the system of collection or foreclosure.
|
|
|
§
|
Provision for loan losses increased $15.9 million in 2010 compared to 2009 as the result of an increase in non-performing loans, and an increase in net loan charge-offs of $22.2 million, or 1.64% of average loans for 2010, compared with $7.5 million, or 0.54% of average loans for 2009.
|
|
|
§
|
Other real estate owned (OREO) expenses increased to $16.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, from $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. This increase was primarily attributable to $14.1 million in fair value write-downs tied to declining real estate values reflected in new appraisals, as well as the ongoing carrying and maintenance costs for the OREO portfolio.

These items are discussed in further detail throughout this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” Section.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our accounting and reporting policies comply with GAAP and conform to general practices within the banking industry. We believe that of our significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of management assumptions and judgments that could result in materially different amounts to be reported if conditions or underlying circumstances were to change.
Allowance for Loan Losses – PBI Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses believed to be sufficient to absorb probable incurred credit losses existing in the loan portfolio, and the board of directors evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance using, among other things, historical loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of the underlying collateral and current economic conditions and trends. The allowance may be allocated for specific loans or loan categories, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off. The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component is based on historical loss experience adjusted for environmental factors. We develop allowance estimates based on actual loss experience adjusted for current economic conditions and trends. Allowance estimates are a prudent measurement of the risk in the loan portfolio which we apply to individual loans based on loan type. If the mix and amount of future charge-off percentages differ significantly from those assumptions used by management in making its determination, we may be required to materially increase our allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses, which could adversely affect our results.
26
Other Real Estate Owned – Other real estate owned (OREO) is real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure. It is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold. When property is acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, it is recorded at its fair market value less cost to sell. Any write-down of the property at the time of acquisition is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent reductions in fair value are recorded as non-interest expense. To determine the fair value of OREO for smaller dollar single family homes, we consult with internal real estate sales staff and external realtors, investors, and appraisers. If the internally evaluated market price is below our underlying investment in the property, appropriate write-downs are recorded. For larger dollar commercial real estate properties, we obtain a new appraisal of the subject property in connection with the transfer to other real estate owned. In some of these circumstances, an appraisal is in process at quarter end and we must make our best estimate of the fair value of the underlying collateral based on our internal evaluation of the property, review of the most recent appraisal, and discussions with the currently engaged appraiser. We do not obtain updated appraisals on a quarterly basis after the receipt of the initial appraisal. Rather, we internally review the fair value of the other real estate owned in our portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine if a new appraisal is warranted based on the specific circumstances of each property.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets – We test goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives for impairment at least annually and more frequently if circumstances indicate their value may not be recoverable. We test goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the book value of the reporting unit. If the fair value, net of goodwill, exceeds book value, then goodwill is not considered to be impaired. We assessed goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of 2010 with the assistance of an independent valuation professional by applying a series of fair-value-based tests. While step 1 of the evaluation indicated potential impairment, the detailed step 2 test concluded that our goodwill was not impaired. Under prevailing accounting standards, different conditions, assumptions, or changes in expected cash flows and profitability could have a material adverse effect on the outcome of the impairment evaluation.
Intangible assets that are not amortized are tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair values of those assets to their carrying values. Other identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are amortized on an accelerated basis over the years expected to be benefited, which we believe is 10 years. We review these amortizable intangible assets for impairment if circumstances indicate their value may not be recoverable based on a comparison of fair value to carrying value. Based on our annual review, management does not believe our intangible assets are impaired at December 31, 2010.
Stock-based Compensation – Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, such as volatility, risk-free interest rates and dividend pay-out rates, is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
Valuation of Deferred Tax Asset –We evaluate deferred tax assets quarterly. We will realize this asset to the extent it is profitable or carry back tax losses to periods in which we paid income taxes. Our determination of the realization of the deferred tax asset will be based upon management’s judgment of various future events and uncertainties, including the timing and amount of future income we will earn and the implementation of various tax plans to maximize realization of the deferred tax assets. Management believes we will generate sufficient operating earnings to realize the deferred tax benefits and does have sufficient taxable income in carry back years to realize the deferred tax asset. While there is a financial statement loss for 2010, the Company had net taxable income in each of the three previous years, 2008 through 2010. Examinations of our income tax returns or changes in tax law may impact the tax liabilities and resulting provisions for income taxes.

Net loss of $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased $15.5 million, or 139.6%, from net income of $11.1 million for 2009. Net loss available to common of $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased $15.3 million, or 167.7%, from net income available to common of $9.1 million for 2009. This decrease in earnings was primarily attributable to increased provision for loan losses expense and non-interest expense. Provision for loan losses expense increased $15.9 million, or 112.0%, in comparison with 2009 as a result of an increase in non-performing loans, and an increase in net loan charge-offs to $22.2 million, or 1.64% of average loans for 2010, compared with $7.5 million, or 0.54% of average loans for 2009. Non-interest income increased $248,000, or 3.7%, in comparison with 2009 primarily as a result of increased income from fiduciary activities, and increased gains on sales of loans originated for sale. Gains on sales of investment securities increased $4.8 million, or 1535.6% in comparison with 2009 due to a strategic decision to liquidate our portfolio of private label mortgage-backed securities and certain other mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds. These gains were partially offset by other than temporary impairment write downs on investment securities of $597,000 during 2010. No similar write-downs were recorded during 2009. Non-interest expense increased $16.0 million, or 52.6%, in comparison with 2009 as a result of increased state franchise tax expense and increased expense related to other real estate owned. Earnings allocated to participating securities for 2010 resulted from the issuance of participating Series C preferred shares during 2010.

Provision for loan losses expense increased $8.8 million, or 163.0%, in comparison to 2008 as a result of an increase in non-performing loans, increased net loan charge-offs of $7.5 million, or 0.54% of average loans for 2009, compared with $3.5 million, or 0.27% of average loans for 2008, and modest loan growth. Non-interest income decreased $696,000, or 9.3%, in comparison to 2008 primarily as a result of decreased service charges on deposit accounts, and decreased income from fiduciary activities. These decreases were partially offset by increased gains on sales of investment securities and no recurrence of other than temporary impairment write-downs on investment securities during 2009. Non-interest expense increased $2.7 million, or 9.7%, in comparison to 2008 as a result of increased salary and benefits expense, increased occupancy and equipment expense, and increased expense related to other real estate owned. Professional fees increased due to costs associated with our abandoned tender offer to acquire Citizens First Corporation of Bowling Green, Kentucky, that was terminated in December 2009. In addition, FDIC insurance premiums rose significantly due to amendments made by the FDIC in 2007 to its risk-based deposit premium assessment systems and increases in premium rates and a special assessment in 2009. The increased dividends and accretion on preferred stock of $1.6 million and $156,000, respectively, from 2008 was the result of preferred stock being outstanding for 12 months during 2009 versus 41 days during 2008.
Net Interest Income – Our net interest income was $57.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $3.5 million, or 6.5%, compared with $54.1 million for the same period in 2009. Net interest spread and margin were 3.38% and 3.59%, respectively, for 2010, compared with 2.99% and 3.33%, respectively, for 2009. The increase in net interest income was primarily the result of lower cost of funds. Our cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 82 basis points for 2010 while our yield on average earning assets decreased 43 basis points.
Our average interest-earning assets were $1.62 billion for 2010, compared with $1.64 billion for 2009, a 1.1% decrease, primarily attributable to lower average loans and investment securities. Average loans were $1.35 billion for 2010, compared with $1.37 billion for 2009, a 1.3% decrease. Average investment securities were $158 million for 2010, compared with $171 million for 2009, a 7.9% decrease. Our total interest income decreased 8.5% to $86.4 million for 2010, compared with $94.5 million for 2009. The change was due primarily to lower interest rates on loan volume.
29
Our average interest-bearing liabilities increased by 0.9% to $1.45 billion for 2010, compared with $1.44 billion for 2009. Our total interest expense decreased by 28.6% to $28.8 million for 2010, compared with $40.4 million during 2009, due primarily to lower interest rates paid on certificates of deposit, and a lower volume of FHLB advances. Our average volume of certificates of deposit increased 6.1% to $1.16 billion for 2010, compared with $1.09 billion for 2009. The average interest rate paid on certificates of deposits decreased to 2.02% for 2010, compared with 3.01% for 2009. Our average volume of FHLB advances decreased 55.0% to $47.8 million for 2010, compared with $106.3 million for 2009. The average interest rate paid on FHLB advances increased to 4.22% for 2010, compared with 3.47% for 2009. The decrease in cost of funds was the result of the continued re-pricing of certificates of deposit at maturity at lower interest rates.
Our net interest income was $54.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $6.8 million, or 14.5%, compared with $47.2 million for the same period in 2008. Net interest spread and margin were 2.99% and 3.33%, respectively, for 2009, compared with 2.79% and 3.20%, respectively, for 2008. The increase in net interest income was primarily the result of higher loan and investment securities volume, but was partially offset by higher volume of certificates of deposit. In addition, our cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 114 basis points for 2009 while our yield on average earning assets decreased 94 basis points.
Our average interest-earning assets were $1.6 billion for 2009, compared with $1.5 billion for 2008, a 9.8% increase, primarily attributable to loan growth and growth in our investment securities portfolio. Average loans were $1.4 billion for 2009, compared with $1.3 billion for 2008, a 3.5% increase. Average investment securities were $172 million for 2009, compared with $117 million for 2008, a 46.7% increase. Our total interest income decreased 5.6% to $94.5 million for 2009, compared with $100.1 million for 2008. The change was due primarily to lower interest rates on loan volume.
Our average interest-bearing liabilities also increased by 7.3% to $1.4 billion for 2009, compared with $1.3 billion for 2008. Our total interest expense decreased by 23.6% to $40.4 million for 2009, compared with $52.9 million during 2008, due primarily to lower interest rates paid on certificates of deposit, interest-bearing transaction accounts, and FHLB advances. Our average volume of certificates of deposit increased 15.1% to $1.1 billion for 2009, compared with $946.5 million for 2008. The average interest rate paid on certificates of deposits decreased to 3.01% for 2009, compared with 4.31% for 2008.
Our average volume of NOW and money market deposit accounts decreased 8.3% to $162 million for 2009, compared with $177 million for 2008. The average interest paid on these deposits decreased to 1.21% for 2009, compared with 2.16% for 2008. Our average volume of FHLB advances decreased 23.5% to $106.3 million for 2009, compared with $139.0 million for 2008. The average interest rate paid on FHLB advances decreased to 3.47% for 2009, compared with 4.02% for 2008. The decrease in cost of funds was the result of the continued re-pricing of certificates of deposit at maturity at lower interest rates, and decreased rates on interest-bearing transaction accounts and FHLB advances.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The table below sets forth information regarding changes in interest income and interest expense for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by old volume); (2) changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by old rate); and (3) changes in rate-volume (change in rate multiplied by change in volume). Changes in rate-volume are proportionately allocated between rate and volume variance.

Non-interest income increased by $4.5 million to $11.6 million for 2010 compared with $7.1 million for 2009. This was primarily driven by gains on sales of investment securities which increased from $315,000 in 2009 to $5.2 million in 2010 as we restructured our investment portfolio by selling our private label mortgage-backed securities portfolio and to a lesser degree certain other mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds. Our non-interest income also increased due to increased income from fiduciary activities of $112,000, or 12.8%, secondary market brokerage fees of $92,000, or 39.1%, and gains on sales of loans originated for sale of $143,000, or 34.8%. These increases were partially offset by decreased service charges on deposit accounts of $128,000, or 4.1%. In addition, other-than-temporary impairment charges of $597,000 related to certain debt and equity securities were recorded during 2010. No similar charge was incurred in 2009. Fewer service charges on deposit account fees were the result of lower transaction volume.
Non-interest income increased by $226,000 to $7.1 million for 2009 compared with $6.9 million for 2008. Our non-interest income increased due to increased gains on sales of loans originated for sale of $411,000, or 100%, and increased gains on sales of investment securities, net, of $451,000, or 331.6%. PBI Bank began originating residential real estate loans for sale in the secondary market late in the first quarter of 2009. These increases were partially offset by decreased service charges on deposit accounts of $312,000, or 9.1%, and decreased income from fiduciary activities of $204,000, or 18.9%. Fewer service charges on deposit account fees were the result of lower transaction volume. Trust account fees are based on account assets values which declined during 2009 due to the lower stock market. In addition, 2008 non-interest income included a gain of $410,000 on the sale of a branch and an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $471,000 related to equity securities that were not repeated in 2009.

Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $46.5 million represented a 52.6% increase from $30.5 million for the same period last year. Other real estate owned (OREO) expense increased $15.1 million, 1307.27%, to $16.3 million in 2010 from $1.2 million in 2009 due to write-downs of OREO to reflect declining real estate values during the year, increased losses on sales of OREO, and increased OREO maintenance costs. During 2010, we recorded fair value write-downs on our OREO portfolio totaling approximately $14.1 million to reflect lower appraised values driven by declining real estate values in our markets during the year. Occupancy expense increased $177,000, or 4.5%, to $4.1 million in 2010 from $3.9 million in 2009 due to increased maintenance costs related to computer equipment, and increased equipment lease expense. State franchise tax, which is based on the most recent five-year average capital balances, increased $372,000, or 20.7%, due to increased Bank capital resulting from $21 million of capital contributions from its parent, PBI, during 2010, and growth from capital injections and net earnings over the five-year averaging period. Professional fees increased $166,000, or 18.4%, to $1.1 million in 2010 from $901,000 in 2009 due to increased accounting, legal, and consulting services.
Non-interest expense increases were partially offset by a decrease in salary and benefits expense of $106,000, or 0.7%, due to decreased incentive compensation expense and discretionary 401(k) match expense. These decreases were partially offset by increased medical insurance costs from increased coverage rates.
Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $30.5 million represented a 9.7% increase from $27.8million for the same period last year. Salaries and employee benefits are the largest component of non-interest expense. This expense increased $217,000, or 1.5%, in comparison with the same period of 2008 as a result of staff additions and increased stock-based compensation expense.
34
Occupancy expense increased $331,000, or 9.2%, to $3.9 million in 2009 from $3.6 million in 2008 to support a new branch built to replace a leased facility in Beaver Dam, increased real estate taxes, and increased maintenance and repairs costs related to buildings and equipment. FDIC insurance premiums rose significantly in 2009 due to amendments made by the FDIC in 2007 to its risk-based deposit premium assessment system and due to a one-time special assessment. FDIC insurance increased $1.9 million to $3.0 million in 2009 from $1.1 million in 2008. The one-time special assessment was 40.4% of this increase, or $781,000. Other real estate owned expense increased $274,000, or 31.1%, to $1.2 million in 2009 from $881,000 in 2008 due to higher costs related to foreclosing on nonperforming credits, repossessing collateral, and collecting amounts due. Professional fees increased $114,000, or 14.5%, to $901,000 in 2009 from $787,000 in 2008 due to costs associated with our abandoned tender offer to acquire Citizens First Corporation of Bowling Green, Kentucky, that was terminated in December 2009.
Non-interest expense increases were partially offset by a decrease in office supplies expense. Office supplies decreased 140,000, or 24.6%, to $429,000 in 2009 from $569,000 in 2008 due to cost control measures.
Income Tax Expense – Income tax benefit was $3.0 million for 2010 compared with income tax expense of $5.4 million for 2009. Our statutory federal tax rate was 35% in both 2010 and 2009. Our effective federal tax rate increased to 41.0% in 2010 from 32.9% in 2009. We had a higher than statutory tax rate for 2010 due to our pre-tax loss, adjusted for tax exempt income and other permanent tax adjustments.
Income tax expense was $5.4 million for 2009 compared with $6.9 million for 2008. Our statutory federal tax rate was 35% in both 2009 and 2008. Our effective federal tax rate decreased to 32.9% in 2009 from 33.1% in 2008, as the percentage of our tax exempt income to total income increased.
Analysis of Financial Condition
Total assets at December 31, 2010 were $1.7 billion compared with $1.8 billion at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $111.1 million or 6.1%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $118.1 million in net loans due to softness in loan demand and troubled loans moving through the collection, foreclosure, and disposition process.
Total assets at December 31, 2009 were $1.8 billion compared with $1.6 billion at December 31, 2008, an increase of $187.2 million or 11.4%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $56.1 million in net loans from organic growth and an increase of $118.9 million in federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits.
Loans Receivable – Loans receivable decreased $110.3 million, or 7.8%, during the year ended December 31, 2010 to $1.3 billion. Our commercial, commercial real estate, and real estate construction portfolios decreased by an aggregate of $112.8 million, or 12.1%, during 2010 and comprised 62.7% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2010.
Loans receivable increased $62.8 million, or 4.7%, to $1.41 billion at December 31, 2009 compared with $1.35 billion at December 31, 2008. Our commercial, commercial real estate, and real estate construction portfolios increased $13.1 million, or 1.4%, to $930.0 million at December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2009, these loans comprised 65.8% of the total loan portfolio compared with 67.9% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2008.
Loan Portfolio Composition – The following table presents a summary of the loan portfolio at the dates indicated, net of deferred loan fees, by type. There are no foreign loans in our portfolio and other than the categories noted, there is no concentration of loans in any industry exceeding 10% of total loans.

Our lending activities are subject to a variety of lending limits imposed by state and federal law. PBI Bank’s secured legal lending limit to a single borrower was approximately $37.4 million at December 31, 2010.
At December 31, 2010, we had fifteen loan relationships each with aggregate extensions of credit in excess of $10 million. Three of the fifteen relationships include loans that have been classified as substandard by the Bank’s internal loan review process. For further discussion of classified loans refer to the asset quality discussion in our “Allowance for Loan Losses” section.
Our real estate construction portfolio declined approximately $104.7 million from 2009 to 2010 as the result of construction projects being completed and sold to end users or refinanced under permanent financing arrangements; and loans in this category being transferred to OREO through the normal progression of collection, workout, and ultimate disposition.
As of December 31, 2010, we had $14.4 million of participations in real estate loans purchased from, and $92.3 million of participations in real estate loans sold to, other banks. As of December 31, 2009, we had $17.7 million of participations in real estate loans purchased from, and $108.9 million of participations in real estate loans sold to, other banks.
Our loan participation totals include participations in real estate loans purchased from and sold to two affiliate banks, The Peoples Bank, Mt. Washington and The Peoples Bank, Taylorsville. Our chairman, J. Chester Porter and his brother, William G. Porter, each own a 50% interest in Lake Valley Bancorp, Inc., the parent holding company of The Peoples Bank, Taylorsville, Kentucky. J. Chester Porter, William G. Porter and our president and chief executive officer, Maria L. Bouvette, serve as directors of The Peoples Bank, Taylorsville. Our chairman, J. Chester Porter owns an interest of approximately 36.0% and his brother, William G. Porter, owns an interest of approximately 3.0% in Crossroads Bancorp, Inc., the parent holding company of The Peoples Bank, Mount Washington, Kentucky. J. Chester Porter and Maria L. Bouvette, serve as directors of The Peoples Bank, Mount Washington. We have entered into management services agreements with each of these banks. Each agreement provides that our executives and employees provide management and accounting services to the subject bank, including overall responsibility for establishing and implementing policy and strategic planning. These entities are not consolidated in the financial statements of the Company. Maria Bouvette also serves as chief financial officer of each of the banks. We receive a $4,000 monthly fee from The Peoples Bank, Taylorsville and a $2,000 monthly fee from The Peoples Bank, Mount Washington for these services.
As of December 31, 2010, we had $4.3 million of participations in real estate loans purchased from, and $19.7 million of participations in real estate loans sold, to these affiliate banks. As of December 31, 2009, we had $4.9 million of participations in real estate loans purchased from, and $23.8 million of participations in real estate loans sold to, these affiliate banks.
We have analyzed our relationship with these affiliates and determined that we do not have the power to direct the activities of the affiliates that significantly impact their economic performance nor do we govern their absorption of losses or use of their economic resources. As such, these entities are not consolidated in our financial statements.

Non-Performing Assets – Non-performing assets consist of certain restructured loans for which interest rate or other terms have been renegotiated, loans past due 90 days or more still on accrual, loans on which interest is no longer accrued, real estate acquired through foreclosure and repossessed assets. Loans, including impaired loans, are placed on non-accrual status when they become past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest, unless they are adequately secured and in the process of collection. Loans are considered impaired if full principal or interest payments are not anticipated in accordance with the contractual loan terms. Impaired loans are carried at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or at the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell if the loan is collateral dependent. Loans are reviewed on a regular basis and normal collection procedures are implemented when a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan. If the delinquency on a mortgage loan exceeds 90 days and is not cured through normal collection procedures or an acceptable arrangement is not worked out with the borrower, we institute measures to remedy the default, including commencing a foreclosure action. Consumer loans generally are charged off when a loan is deemed uncollectible by management and any available collateral has been disposed of. Commercial business and real estate loan delinquencies are handled on an individual basis by management with the advice of legal counsel.
Interest income on loans is recognized on the accrual basis except for those loans placed on non-accrual status. The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when management believes, after consideration of economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrowers’ financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful, which typically occurs after the loan becomes 90 days delinquent. When interest accrual is discontinued, existing accrued interest is reversed and interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received.
37
Real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold. New and used automobiles and other motor vehicles acquired as a result of foreclosure are classified as repossessed assets until they are sold. When such property is acquired it is recorded at its fair market value less cost to sell. Any write-down of the property at the time of acquisition is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent gains and losses are included in non-interest expense.

Interest income that would have been earned on non-performing loans was $2.7 million, $1.0 million, and $601,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 respectively. Interest income recognized on accruing non-performing loans was $222,000, $225,000, and $181,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.
Loans more than 90 days past due decreased $5.4 million, and non-accrual loans decreased $19.1 million, respectively, from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010. The $60.4 million in nonperforming loans at December 31, 2010, and $84.9 million at December 31, 2009, were construction, land development, other land, commercial real estate, and residential real estate loans. The protracted slowdown in housing unit sales and loss of tenants or inability to lease vacant office and retail space has placed inordinate stress on these customers and their ability to repay according to the contractual terms of the loans. As such, we have placed these credits on non-accrual and have begun the appropriate collection actions to resolve them. Management believes it has established adequate loan loss reserves for these credits.
We do not have a formal loan modification program. Rather, we work with individual customers on a case-by-case basis to facilitate the orderly collection of our principal and interest before a loan becomes a non-performing loan. If a customer is unable to make contractual payments, we review the particular circumstances of that customer’s situation and negotiate a revised payment stream. In other words, we identify performing customers experiencing financial difficulties, and through negotiations, we lower their interest rate, most typically on a short-term basis for three to six months, but in limited circumstances for longer periods. Our goal when restructuring a credit is to afford the customer a reasonable period of time to remedy the issue causing cash flow constraints within their business so that they can return to performing status over time.
Our loan modifications have taken the form of reduction in interest rate and/or curtailment of scheduled principal payments for a short-term period, usually three to six months, but in some cases until maturity of the loan. Our restructured loans are all collateral secured loans. If a customer fails to perform under the modified terms, we place the loan on non-accrual status and begin the process of working with the customer to liquidate the underlying collateral to satisfy the debt.
At December 31, 2010, we had 44 restructured loans totaling $25.5 million with borrowers who experienced deterioration in financial condition compared with 21 loans totaling $25.2 million at December 31, 2009. All of these loans were granted interest rate reductions to provide cash flow relief to customers experiencing cash flow difficulties. Of these loans, 20 loans totaling approximately $10.9 million were also granted principal payment deferrals until maturity. There were no concessions made to forgive principal relative to these loans. These loans are secured by first liens on 1-4 residential or commercial real estate properties. We do not hold a second or junior lien position on these restructured loans. Management believes these loans are well secured and the borrowers have the ability to repay the loans in accordance with the renegotiated terms. As such, these restructured loans were on accrual status at the balance sheet date as payments were being made according to the restructured loan terms. These loans have not had a partial charge-off. In accordance with ASC 310-50-2, we continue to report restructured loans as restructured until such time as the loan has developed a reasonable repayment history, the borrower displays the financial capacity to repay, and the loan terms return to the terms in place prior to the restructure. If the customer fails to perform, we place the loan on non-accrual status and seek to liquidate the underlying collateral for these loans. Our non-accrual policy for restructured loans is identical to our non-accrual policy for all loans. Our policy calls for a loan to be reported as non-accrual if it is maintained on a cash basis because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower, payment in full of principal and interest is not expected, or principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the assets are both well secured and in the process of collection. Changes in value for impairment, including the amount attributed to the passage of time, are recorded entirely within the provision for loan losses.
38
We consider any loan that is restructured for a borrower experiencing financial difficulties due to a borrower’s potential inability to pay in accordance with contractual terms of the loan a troubled debt restructure. Specifically, we consider a concession involving a modification of the loan terms, such as (i) a reduction of the stated interest rate, (ii) reduction or deferral of principal, or (iii) reduction or deferral of accrued interest at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk all to be troubled debt restructurings. When a modification of terms is made for a competitive reason, we do not consider that to be a troubled debt restructuring. The primary example of a competitive modification would be an interest rate reduction for a performing customer to a market rate as the result of a market decline in rates.
Other real estate owned (OREO) is recorded at fair market value less cost to sell at time of acquisition. Any write-down of the property at the time of acquisition is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent reductions in fair value are recorded as non-interest expense. To determine the fair value of OREO for smaller dollar single family homes, we consult with internal real estate sales staff and external realtors, investors, and appraisers. If the internally evaluated market price is below our underlying investment in the property, appropriate write-downs are recorded. For larger dollar commercial real estate properties, we obtain a new appraisal of the subject property in connection with the transfer to other real estate owned. In some of these circumstances, an appraisal is in process at quarter end and we must make our best estimate of the fair value of the underlying collateral based on our internal evaluation of the property, review of the most recent appraisal, and discussions with the currently engaged appraiser. We do not obtain updated appraisals on a quarterly basis after the receipt of the initial appraisal. Rather, we internally review the fair value of the other real estate owned in our portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine if a new appraisal is warranted based on the specific circumstances of each property.
OREO totaled $67.6 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $14.5 million at December 31, 2009. Approximately 75%, or $50.5 million, of our OREO balances consist of real estate formerly securing construction, land development, and other land loans. The two largest projects in this category are residential developments located in Jefferson County, Kentucky, that were acquired in lieu of foreclosure in 2010. The fair value less estimated cost to sell of these two projects totals $29.2 million at December 31, 2010.

During 2010, we recorded fair value write-downs of our OREO portfolio totaling approximately $14.1 million to reflect lower appraised values driven by declining real estate values in our markets during the year. We made solid strides in our efforts to liquidate OREO in 2010 and to return those dollars to earning asset status. To that end, we established a real estate sales department within PBI Bank in 2010 and were successful in selling OREO totaling $25.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2010. We remain diligently focused on these efforts.
Allowance for Loan Losses – The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s continuing review and evaluation of individual loans, loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various categories of loans and such other factors that, in management’s judgment, require current recognition in estimating loan losses.
The following table sets forth an analysis of loan loss experience as of and for the periods indicated:

Our allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses in comprised of specific reserves and general reserves. Generally, all loans that have been identified as impaired are reviewed on a quarterly basis in order to determine whether a specific allowance is required. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that we will not receive all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Once a loan has been identified as impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with ASC 310.10. When management’s measured value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the amount of the impairment is recorded as a specific reserve. These specific reserves are determined on an individual loan basis based on management’s current evaluation of our loss exposure for each credit, given the payment status, financial condition of the borrower and value of any underlying collateral. Loans for which specific reserves have been provided are excluded from the general reserve calculations described below. Changes in specific reserves from period to period are the result of changes in the circumstances of individual loans such as charge-offs, pay-offs, changes in collateral values or other factors.
40
The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of the amount necessary to provide for known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio in the normal course of business. Due to the uncertainty of risks in the loan portfolio, management’s judgment of the amount of the allowance necessary to absorb loan losses is approximate. The allowance for loan losses is also subject to regulatory examinations and may be adjusted in response to a determination by the regulatory agencies as to its adequacy in comparison with peer institutions.
We make specific allowances for each impaired loan based on its type and classification as discussed above. At year-end 2010, our allowance for loan losses to total non-performing loans increased to 56.8% from 31.1% at year-end 2009. We have assessed these loans for collectability and considered, among other things, the borrower’s ability to repay, the value of the underlying collateral, and other market conditions to ensure that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses. We also maintain a general reserve for each loan type in the loan portfolio. In determining the amount of the general reserve portion of our allowance for loan losses, management considers factors such as our historical loan loss experience, the growth, composition and diversification of our loan portfolio, current delinquency levels, the results of recent regulatory examinations and general economic conditions. Based on these factors, we apply estimated percentages to the various categories of loans, not including any loan that has a specific allowance allocated to it, based on our historical experience, portfolio trends and economic and industry trends. This information is used by management to set the general reserve portion of the allowance for loan losses at a level it deems prudent.
Our portfolio is comprised primarily of loans secured by real estate. A decline in the value of the real estate serving as collateral for our loans may impact our ability to collect those loans. In general, we obtain updated appraisals on property securing our loans when circumstances are warranted such as at the time of renewal or when market conditions have significantly changed. We use qualified licensed appraisers approved by our Board of Directors. These appraisers possess prerequisite certifications and knowledge of the local and regional marketplace.
Based on an evaluation of the loan portfolio, management presents a quarterly review of the allowance for loan losses to our board of directors, indicating any change in the allowance for loan losses since the last review and any recommendations as to adjustments in the allowance for loan losses.
This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as events change. We increased the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans outstanding to 2.63% at December 31, 2010 from 1.87% at December 31, 2009. The level of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from these estimates.
We follow a loan review program designed to evaluate the credit risk in our loan portfolio. Through this loan review process, we maintain an internally classified watch list which helps management assess the overall quality of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Loans categorized as watch list loans show warning elements where the present status exhibits one or more deficiencies that require attention in the short term or where pertinent ratios of the loan account have weakened to a point where more frequent monitoring is warranted. These loans do not have all of the characteristics of a classified loan (substandard or doubtful) but do show weakened elements as compared with those of a satisfactory credit. We review these loans to assist in assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
In establishing the appropriate classification for specific assets, management considers, among other factors, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the borrower’s ability to repay, the borrower’s repayment history and the current delinquent status. As a result of this process, loans are categorized as special mention, substandard or doubtful.
Loans classified as “special mention” do not have all of the characteristics of substandard or doubtful loans. They have one or more deficiencies which warrant special attention and which corrective action, such as accelerated collection practices, may remedy.
Loans classified as “substandard” are those loans with clear and defined weaknesses such as a highly leveraged position, unfavorable financial ratios, uncertain repayment sources or poor financial condition which may jeopardize the repayment of the debt as contractually agreed. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some losses if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Loans classified as “doubtful” are those loans which have characteristics similar to substandard loans but with an increased risk that collection or liquidation in full is highly questionable and improbable.
41
Once a loan is deemed impaired or uncollectible as contractually agreed, the loan is charged-off either partially or in-full against the allowance for loan losses, based upon the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of collateral less estimated cost to sell with respect to collateral-based loans.
As of December 31, 2010, we had $138.2 million of loans classified as substandard, $18,000 classified as doubtful, $25.3 million classified as special mention and none classified as loss. This compares with $208.3 million of loans classified as substandard, $7,000 classified as doubtful, $15.5 million classified as special mention and none classified as loss as of December 31, 2009. The $70.1 million decrease in loans classified as substandard is primarily attributable to the migration of substandard loans through the collection process. Many of these loans were repaid by liquidation of the underlying collateral after migration to our OREO portfolio or were charged off. As of December 31, 2010 we had allocations of $13.1 million in the allowance for loan losses related to these classified loans. This compares to allocations of $15.9 million in the allowance for loan losses related to classified loan at December 31, 2009.
We recorded a provision for loan losses of $30.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared with $14.2 million for 2009 and $5.4 million for 2008. The total allowance for loan losses was $34.3 million or 2.63% of total loans at December 31, 2010, compared with $26.4 million or 1.87% of total loans at December 31, 2009, and $19.7 million or 1.46% of total loans at December 31, 2008. The increased allowance is consistent with the increase in our classified loans of $30.9 million from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010, increased loan charge-offs, and trends within the portfolio, in particular the protracted slowdown in housing unit sales and continued weakness in demand for residential land in our markets. Net charge-offs were $22.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared with $7.5 million for 2009 and $3.5 million for 2008. Charge-offs for 2010 were concentrated in the loans secured by real estate category of the portfolio. In fact, charge-offs for loans secured by real estate increased from $6.5 million in 2009 to $19.2 million in 2010. This represents 86% of our charge-offs for 2010. These charge-offs were largely construction and land development loans for which the primary source of repayment was the sale of residential lots or housing units. Declining sales volumes negatively impacted the ability of certain customers in this segment to repay their loans and the continued weakness in this sector of the market continued to exert downward pressure on the value of real estate securing our loans. We continue to closely monitor real estate values for property that secures our loans to ensure our allowance is adequate.
42
The following table depicts management’s allocation of the allowance for loan losses by loan type. Allowance funding and allocation is based on management’s current evaluation of risk in each category, economic conditions, past loss experience, loan volume, past due history and other factors. Since these factors and management’s assumptions are subject to change, the allocation is not necessarily predictive of future portfolio performance. The allocation is made by analytical purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the categories in which future losses may occur. The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any segment of loans.

Investment Securities – The securities portfolio serves as a source of liquidity and earnings and contributes to the management of interest rate risk. We have the authority to invest in various types of liquid assets, including short-term United States Treasury obligations and securities of various federal agencies, obligations of states and political subdivisions, corporate bonds, certificates of deposit at insured savings and loans and banks, bankers’ acceptances and federal funds. We may also invest a portion of our assets in certain commercial paper and corporate debt securities. We are also authorized to invest in mutual funds and stocks whose assets conform to the investments that we are authorized to make directly. The investment portfolio decreased by $62.4 million, or 37.0%, to $106.3 million at December 31, 2010 compared with $168.7 million at December 31, 2009. We made a strategic decision to liquidate our private-label mortgage-backed securities portfolio, and certain other mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds during 2010.

Average yields in the table above were calculated on a tax equivalent basis using a federal income tax rate of 35%. Mortgage-backed securities are securities that have been developed by pooling a number of real estate mortgages. These securities are issued by federal agencies such as Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as non-agency company issuers. These securities are deemed to have high credit ratings, and minimum regular monthly cash flows of principal and interest. Cash flows from agency backed mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by the issuing agencies.

Unlike U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency securities, which have a lump sum payment at maturity, mortgage-backed securities provide cash flows from regular principal and interest payments and principal prepayments throughout the lives of the securities. Mortgage-backed securities that are purchased at a premium will generally suffer decreasing net yields as interest rates drop because home owners tend to refinance their mortgages. Thus, the premium paid must be amortized over a shorter period. Therefore, those securities purchased at a discount will obtain higher net yields in a decreasing interest rate environment. As interest rates rise, the opposite will generally be true. During a period of increasing interest rates, fixed rate mortgage-backed securities do not tend to experience heavy prepayments of principal and consequently, the average life of this security will not be shortened. If interest rates begin to fall, prepayments will increase. Non-agency issuer mortgage-backed securities do not carry a government guarantee. We limit our purchases of these securities to bank qualified issues with high credit ratings. We regularly monitor the performance and credit ratings of these securities and evaluate these securities, as we do all of our securities, for other than temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. At December 31, 2010, 86.9% of the agency mortgage-backed securities we held had contractual final maturities of more than ten years with a weighted average life of 25.1 years.
In December 2010, based upon relevant market information, we determined that our basis in a corporate debt security with an unrealized loss position for more the 12 months was not recoverable in the near term. Therefore, during 2010, we recorded an other than temporary impairment charge totaling $132,000 for this security which had an original cost of $704,000.
The Company held 45 equity securities at December 31, 2010. Of these securities, one had an unrealized loss of $1,000 and had been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and seven had an unrealized loss of $2,000 and had been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. Management monitors the underlying financial condition of the issuers and current market pricing for these equity securities monthly. Based upon the relevant market information and stock price trends in July and early August 2010, we determined that we could not objectively assert that our basis in 21 equity securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months was recoverable in the near term. As such, we recorded an other than temporary impairment charge totaling $465,000 for equity securities held in our portfolio with an original cost of $1.3 million during 2010. The market prices of the stocks had been below our initial investment for more than twelve months and after consideration of the issuers’ financial conditions and the likelihood the market value would recover to our cost basis in a reasonable period of time, the investment was written down to fair value. As of December 31, 2010, management does not believe any securities in our portfolio with unrealized losses should be classified as other than temporarily impaired at this time.
Deposits – We attract both short-term and long-term deposits from the general public by offering a wide range of deposit accounts and interest rates. In recent years we have been required by market conditions to rely increasingly on short to mid-term certificate accounts and other deposit alternatives, including brokered and wholesale deposits, which are more responsive to market interest rates. We use forecasts based on interest rate risk simulations to assist management in monitoring our use of certificates of deposit and other deposit products as funding sources and the impact of their use on interest income and net interest margin in various rate environments.
We primarily rely on our banking office network to attract and retain deposits in our local markets and leverage our online Ascencia division to attract out-of-market deposits. Market interest rates and rates on deposit products offered by competing financial institutions can significantly affect our ability to attract and retain deposits. During 2010, total deposits decreased $62.4 million compared with 2009. During 2009, total deposits increased by $241.5 million compared with 2008. The decrease in deposits for 2010 was primarily in certificates of deposit balances and money market accounts. The 2009 increase was also primarily in certificates of deposit balances and money market accounts.
To evaluate our funding needs in light of deposit trends resulting from continually changing conditions, management and board committees evaluate simulated performance reports that forecast changes in margins along with other pertinent economic data. We continue to offer attractively priced deposit products along our product line to allow us to retain deposit customers and reduce interest rate risk during various rising and falling rate cycles.
We offer savings accounts, NOW accounts, money market accounts and fixed rate certificates with varying maturities. The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in interest rates and competition. Our management adjusts interest rates, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties on our deposit products periodically. The variety of deposit products allows us to compete more effectively in obtaining funds and to respond with more flexibility to the flow of funds away from depository institutions into outside investment alternatives. However, our ability to attract and maintain deposits and the costs of these funds has been, and will continue to be, significantly affected by market conditions.

We strive to maintain competitive pricing on our deposit products which we believe allows us to retain a substantial percentage of our customers when their time deposits mature.
Borrowing – Deposits are the primary source of funds for our lending and investment activities and for our general business purposes. We can also use advances (borrowings) from the FHLB of Cincinnati to supplement our pool of lendable funds, meet deposit withdrawal requirements and manage the terms of our liabilities. Advances from the FHLB are secured by our stock in the FHLB, certain commercial real estate loans and substantially all of our first mortgage residential loans. At December 31, 2010, we had $15.0 million in advances outstanding from the FHLB and the capacity to increase our borrowings an additional $101.6 million. The FHLB of Cincinnati functions as a central reserve bank providing credit for savings banks and other member financial institutions. As a member, we are required to own capital stock in the FHLB and are authorized to apply for advances on the security of such stock and certain of our home mortgages and other assets (principally, securities which are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States) provided that we meet certain standards related to creditworthiness.

The debentures are callable on or after the optional prepayment date at their principal amount plus accrued interest.

The trust preferred securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the subordinated debentures at maturity or their earlier redemption at the liquidation preference. The subordinated debentures, which mature February 13, 2034, April 15, 2034, and March 1, 2037, are redeemable before the maturity date at our option on or after March 17, 2009, June 17, 2009, and March 1, 2012, respectively, at their principal amount plus accrued interest. We have the option to defer interest payments on the subordinated debentures from time to time for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters. If we defer these interest payments, we would be prohibited from paying dividends on our common stock.
The trust preferred securities issued by our subsidiary trusts are currently included in our Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes. On March 1, 2005, the Federal Reserve Board adopted final rules that continue to allow trust preferred securities to be included in Tier 1 capital, subject to stricter quantitative and qualitative limits. Currently, no more than 25% of our Tier I capital can consist of trust preferred securities and qualifying perpetual preferred stock. To the extent the amount of our trust preferred securities exceeds the 25% limit, the excess would be includable in Tier 2 capital. The new quantitative limits will be fully effective March 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2010, Porter Bancorp’s trust preferred securities totaled 13.4% of its Tier 1 capital.
Each of the trusts issuing the trust preferred securities holds junior subordinated debentures we issued with a 30 year maturity. The final rules provide that in the last five years before the junior subordinated debentures mature, the associated trust preferred securities will be excluded from Tier 1 capital and included in Tier 2 capital. In addition, the trust preferred securities during this five-year period would be amortized out of Tier 2 capital by one-fifth each year and excluded from Tier 2 capital completely during the year before maturity.

Liquidity
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility we may not be able to satisfy current or future financial commitments, or may become unduly reliant on alternative funding sources. The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure that we meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, as well as our operating cash needs, taking into account all on- and off-balance sheet funding demands. Liquidity risk management also involves ensuring that we meet our cash flow needs at a reasonable cost. We maintain an investment and funds management policy, which identifies the primary sources of liquidity, establishes procedures for monitoring and measuring liquidity, and establishes minimum liquidity requirements in compliance with regulatory guidance. Our Asset Liability Committee continually monitors and reviews our liquidity position.
Funds are available from a number of sources, including the sale of securities in the available-for-sale portion of the investment portfolio, principal pay-downs on loans and mortgage-backed securities, brokered deposits and other wholesale funding. During 2010 and 2009 we utilized brokered and wholesale deposits to supplement our funding strategy. At December 31, 2010, these deposits totaled $149.2 million. We also secured federal funds borrowing lines from major correspondent banks totaling $19 million on an unsecured basis.
Traditionally, we have borrowed from the FHLB to supplement our funding requirements. At December 31, 2010, we had an unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB of $101.6 million. Management believes our sources of liquidity are adequate to meet expected cash needs for the foreseeable future.
We use cash to pay dividends on common stock, if and when declared by the board of directors, and to service debt. The main sources of funding include dividends paid by PBI Bank, management fees received from PBI Bank and affiliated banks and financing obtained in the capital markets. See the “Supervision-Porter Bancorp-Dividends” section of Item 1. “Business“ and the “Dividends” section of Item 5. “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Capital
Stockholders’ equity increased $20.1 million to $189.4 million at December 31, 2010 compared with $169.3 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was due to the completion of a stock offering that raised $30.5 million in net proceeds, reduced by the 2010 net loss and by dividends declared on common stock, cumulative preferred stock, and participating preferred stock.
On June 30, 2010, we completed a $27.0 million stock offering to a group of accredited investors in a private placement transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the federal and state securities laws. In connection with the private placement transaction, we issued (i) 1,755,747 shares of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share; (ii) 227,000 shares of Series B preferred stock at a price of $11.50 per share, which was automatically convertible into an aggregate of 227,000 shares of common stock upon receipt of shareholder approval, as discussed below; and (iii) 365,080 shares of Series C preferred stock at price of $11.50 per share. We also issued warrants to purchase 1,163,045 shares of non-voting common stock at a price of $11.50 per share.
On July 23, 2010, we completed a $4,255,000 stock offering to another accredited investor in a supplemental private placement transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the federal and state securities laws. In connection with the supplemental private placement transaction, we issued (i) 370,000 shares of Series B preferred stock at $11.50 per share and (ii) a warrant to purchase 185,000 shares of non-voting common stock at a purchase price of $11.50 per share. We also granted the accredited investor an option to purchase 64,784 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 32,392 shares of non-voting common stock at a purchase price of $11.50 per share. The option exercise price was $745,016, increasing the total potential gross proceeds to be received from the accredited investor to $5,000,000. The option was exercisable during the five business days following receipt of shareholder approval for purposes of NASDAQ Rule 5635.
The Company held a special meeting of shareholders on September 16, 2010. The shareholders approved the proposal for the issuance of common shares to allow for the conversion or exercise of 597,000 shares of the Series B preferred stock; 365,080 shares of our Series C preferred stock; 1,380,437 shares of non-voting common stock; and an option to purchase 64,784 shares of common stock at $11.50 per share. The shareholders also approved the proposal to authorize the new class of non-voting common stock, which will be issuable upon the exercise of the stock purchase warrants at a purchase price of $11.50 per share.
48
As a result of the shareholder approval, on September 21, 2010, 597,000 shares of Series B preferred stock were automatically converted into 597,000 shares of common stock. On September 27, 2010, the Company issued an additional 64,784 shares of common stock and granted a warrant to purchase 32,392 shares of non-voting common stock, in connection with the exercise of the option granted in the supplemental private placement transaction discussed above. This issuance of the additional shares of common stock resulted in the conversion of 48,038 shares of Series C preferred stock into shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the Series C preferred stock described below.
The Series C preferred stock is a non-voting class of stock substantially similar in priority to the common stock, except for a liquidation preference over shares of our common stock. The Series C preferred stock will automatically convert into common stock on a 1:1.05 share basis at such time as, after giving effect to the automatic conversion, the holder of such Series C preferred stock (and its affiliates or any other persons with which it is acting in concert or whose holdings would otherwise be required to be aggregated for purposes of federal banking law) beneficially holds, directly or indirectly, less than 9.9% of the number of shares of common stock then issued and outstanding.
The non-voting common stock is a non-voting class of stock substantially similar in rights and priority to our common stock, except that the non-voting common stock has no voting rights. The warrants become exercisable upon receipt of shareholder approval and expire September 16, 2015. To the extent issued upon exercise of the warrants, the non-voting common stock will automatically convert into common stock on a 1:1.05 share basis at such time as, after giving effect to the automatic conversion, the holder of such non-voting common stock (and its affiliates or any other persons with which it is acting in concert or whose holdings would otherwise be required to be aggregated for purposes of federal banking law) holds, directly or indirectly, beneficially less than 9.9% of the number of shares of common stock then issued and outstanding.
On November 21, 2008 we issued to the U.S. Treasury, in exchange for aggregate consideration of $35.0 million, (i) 35,000 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, no par value per share and liquidation preference $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to 330,561 shares (the “Warrant Common Stock”) of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share, at an exercise price of $15.88 per share.
The Series A Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays cumulative cash dividends quarterly at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per annum thereafter. The Series A Preferred Stock is non-voting, other than class voting rights on certain matters that could adversely affect the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company at par on or after February 15, 2012. The Series A Preferred Stock may not be redeemed earlier than this date unless the Company has received aggregate gross proceeds from one or more qualified equity offerings of any Tier 1 perpetual preferred or common stock of the Company (a “Qualified Equity Offering”) of not less than $8.75 million. Subject to certain limited exceptions, until November 21, 2011, or such earlier time as all Series A Preferred Stock has been redeemed or transferred by U.S. Treasury, the Company will not, without U.S. Treasury’s consent, be able to increase its dividend rate per share of common stock or repurchase its common stock.
The Warrant is immediately exercisable and has a 10-year term. The U.S. Treasury may not exercise voting power with respect to any shares of Warrant Common Stock until the Warrant has been exercised.
Kentucky banking laws limit the amount of dividends that may be paid to a holding company by its subsidiary banks without prior approval. These laws limit the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year to current year’s net income, as defined in the laws, combined with the retained net income of the preceding two years, less any dividends declared during those periods. During 2011, the amount available to be paid by PBI Bank to Porter Bancorp would be $8.8 million plus 2011 earnings to date. However, PBI Bank has agreed with its primary regulators to obtain their written consent prior to declaring or paying any future dividends.
Each of the federal bank regulatory agencies has established risk-based capital requirements for banking organizations. See Item 1. Business – Supervision and Regulation – Porter Bancorp – Capital Adequacy Requirements and PBI Bank – Capital Requirements. In addition, PBI Bank has agreed with its primary regulators to maintain a ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of at least 12.0% and a ratio of Tier I Capital to total risk-weighted assets of 9.0%

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, we enter into various transactions, which, in accordance with GAAP, are not included in our consolidated balance sheets. We enter into these transactions to meet the financing needs of our customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
Our commitments associated with outstanding standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit as of December 31, 2010 are summarized below. Since commitments associated with letters of credit and commitments to extend credit may expire unused, the amounts shown do not necessarily reflect our actual future cash funding requirements:

Standby Letters of Credit – Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments we issue to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. If the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, we would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. If the commitment is funded, we would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. Our policies generally require that standby letter of credit arrangements contain security and debt covenants similar to those contained in loan agreements.
Commitments to Extend Credit – We enter into contractual commitments to extend credit, normally with fixed expiration dates or termination clauses, at specified rates and for specific purposes. Substantially all of our commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards at the time of loan funding. We minimize our exposure to loss under these commitments by subjecting them to credit approval and monitoring procedures.

The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
We have an asset and liability structure that is essentially monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Periods of high inflation are often accompanied by relatively higher interest rates, and periods of low inflation are accompanied by relatively lower interest rates. As market interest rates rise or fall in relation to the rates earned on our loans and investments, the value of these assets decreases or increases respectively.
To minimize the volatility of net interest income and exposure to economic loss that may result from fluctuating interest rates, we manage our exposure to adverse changes in interest rates through asset and liability management activities within guidelines established by our Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”). The ALCO, which is comprised of senior management representatives, has the responsibility for approving and ensuring compliance with asset/liability management policies. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in the net interest income as a result of market fluctuations in interest rates. The ALCO, on an ongoing basis, monitors interest rate and liquidity risk in order to implement appropriate funding and balance sheet strategies. Management considers interest rate risk to be our most significant market risk.
We utilize an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity. We then evaluate potential changes in market interest rates and their subsequent effects on net interest income. The model projects the effect of instantaneous movements in interest rates of both 100 and 200 basis points. Assumptions based on the historical behavior of our 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 future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model’s simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management strategies.
Our interest sensitivity profile was asset sensitive at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Given an instantaneous 100 basis point increase in interest rates our base net interest income would increase by an estimated 7.8% at December 31, 2010 compared with an increase of 4.9% at December 31, 2009.
The following table indicates the estimated impact on net interest income under various interest rate scenarios for the year ended December 31, 2010, as calculated using the static shock model approach:

We did not run a model simulation for declining interest rates as of December 31, 2010, because the Federal Reserve effectively lowered the federal funds target rate between 0.00% to 0.25% in December 2008. Therefore, no further short-term rate reductions can occur. As we implement strategies to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates in the future, these strategies will lessen our forecasted “base case” net interest income in the event of no interest rate changes.
Our interest sensitivity at any point in time will be affected by a number of factors. These factors include the mix of interest sensitive assets and liabilities as well as their relative pricing schedules. It is also influenced by market interest rates, deposit growth, loan growth, decay rates and prepayment speed assumptions.
51
The following table sets forth the amounts of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at December 31, 2010 which we anticipate, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown. The projected repricing of assets and liabilities anticipates prepayments and scheduled rate adjustments, as well as contractual maturities under an interest rate unchanged scenario within the selected time intervals. While we believe such assumptions are reasonable, we cannot assure you that assumed repricing rates will approximate our actual future activity.

Our one-year cumulative gap position as of December 31, 2010 was positive $290.3 million or 16.8% of assets. This is a one-day position that is continually changing and is not necessarily indicative of our position at any other time. Any gap analysis has inherent shortcomings because certain assets and liabilities may not move proportionally as interest rates change.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Management of Porter Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements. All information has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and, as such, includes certain amounts that are based on Management’s best estimates and judgments.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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 U.S. 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.
Two of the objectives of internal control are to provide reasonable assurance to Management and the Board of Directors that transactions are properly authorized and recorded in our financial records, and that the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and other financial reporting is done in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Management has made its own assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, in relation to the criteria described in the report, Internal Control — Integrated Framework , issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on our assessment, Management concludes that as of December 31, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to reliability of financial statements. Furthermore, the effectiveness of internal control can vary with changes in circumstances. Based on its assessment, Management believes that as of December 31, 2010, the Company’s internal control was effective in achieving the objectives stated above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Porter Bancorp, Inc.
Louisville, Kentucky
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Porter Bancorp, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Porter Bancorp, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

PORTER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include Porter Bancorp, Inc. (Company or PBI) and its subsidiary, PBI Bank (Bank). The Company owns a 100% interest in the Bank.
The Company provides financial services through its offices in Central Kentucky and Louisville. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and real estate loans. Substantially all loans are collateralized by specific items of collateral including business assets, commercial real estate, and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer. However, customers’ ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate and general economic conditions in the area. Other financial instruments which potentially represent concentrations of credit risk include deposit accounts in other financial institutions and federal funds sold. The Company also provides trust services.
Use of Estimates – To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, goodwill and other intangible, fair value of other real estate owned, stock compensation, deferred tax assets, and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.
Cash Flows – Cash and cash equivalents include cash, deposits with other financial institutions under 90 days, and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for customer and loan deposit transactions, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, and federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements.
Securities – Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale when they might be sold before maturity. Equity securities with readily determined fair values are classified as available-for-sale. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income.
Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method anticipating prepayments on mortgage backed securities. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.
In order to determine OTTI for purchased beneficial interests that, on the purchase date, were not highly rated, the Company compares the present value of the remaining cash flows as estimated at the preceding evaluation date to the current expected remaining cash flows. OTTI is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows.
Loans Held for Sale – Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to earnings.
Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with servicing rights retained. The carrying value of mortgage loans sold is reduced by the amount allocated to the servicing right. Gains and losses on sales of mortgage loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loan sold.
61
Mortgage banking derivatives used in the ordinary course of business consist of mandatory forward sales contracts and rate lock loan commitments. Forward contracts represent future commitments to deliver loans at a specified price and date and are used to manage interest rate risk on loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale. Rate lock commitments represent commitments to fund loans at a specific rate. These derivatives involve underlying items, such as interest rates, and are designed to transfer risk. Substantially all of these instruments expire within 60 days from the date of issuance. Notional amounts are amounts on which calculations and payments are based, but which do not represent credit exposure, as credit exposure is limited to the amounts required to be received or paid.
We adopted FASB ASC topic 815, “Derivative and Hedging” during the first quarter of 2009. Our commitments to deliver loans and our rate lock loan commitments were insignificant at year end.
Loans – Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments. The recorded investment in loans includes the outstanding principal balance and unamortized deferred origination costs and fees.
Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well collateralized and in process of collection. Consumer and credit card loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Allowance for Loan Losses – The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. We estimate the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in our judgment, should be charged off.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired.
Factors considered 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. We determine the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on 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.
If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures. Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, we determine the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.
The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on our actual loss history experienced over the most recent three years with weighting towards the most recent periods. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. At year-end 2010, we increased our emphasis on historical loss experience and the qualitative factors discussed above that we believe are essential to assessing the general component of the reserve. We believe this added emphasis serves to ensure our estimates affecting the general component of the reserve most effectively parallel changing risks in the market in a timely fashion.
62
A portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine its allowance for loan losses. We identified the following portfolio segments: Commercial real estate, residential real estate, commercial and industrial, construction and land development, farm, multi-family, agricultural, and consumer. We analyze all relevant risk characteristics for each portfolio segment and have determined that loans in each segment possess similar general risk characteristics that are analyzed in connection with our loan underwriting processes and procedures. In determining the allocated allowance, we utilize weighted average loss rates for the past three years most heavily weighting the current year. Commercial real estate loans are our largest segment and had the highest level of qualitative adjustments due to trends in our markets for underlying collateral values and risks related to tenant rents. Construction and land development loans have the next highest qualitative adjustments for economic factors such as decreased sales demand, elevated inventory levels, and declining collateral values. Residential real estate loan considerations include macro factors such as unemployment rates, trends in vacancy rates, and home value trends. The commercial and industrial portfolio qualitative adjustments are related to industry concentrations and geographical market. Our farm, multi-family, agricultural, and consumer portfolios are less significant in terms of size and risk is assessed based on the smaller dollar size of these loans and the more geographical areas where the collateral is located.
Servicing Rights – Servicing rights are recognized separately when they are acquired through sales of loans. When mortgage loans are sold, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of loans. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. Servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized into non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. To date, we have retained the servicing rights for all loans originated for sale and subsequently sold.
Servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. The fair values of servicing rights are subject to significant fluctuations as a result of changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.
Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal or a fixed amount per loan and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income. We recorded net servicing fee income of $5,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, and net amortization expense of $1,000 for the year ended December 31 2009. Late fees and ancillary fees related to loan servicing were not material.
Transfers of Financial Assets – Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, 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 the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Other Real Estate Owned – Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed.
Premises and Equipment – Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 5 to 33 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line or accelerated method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years.
63
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock – The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment. Because this stock is viewed as long term investment, impairment is based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets – Goodwill resulting from business combinations prior to January 1, 2009 represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill resulting from business combinations after January 1, 2009, is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually. The Company has selected November 30th as the date to perform the annual impairment test. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on our balance sheet.
Other intangible assets consist of core deposit and trust account intangible assets arising from whole bank and branch acquisitions. They are initially measured at fair value and then are amortized on an accelerated or straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 7 to 10 years.
Bank Owned Life Insurance – The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Company owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.
Long-Term Assets – Premises and equipment, other intangible assets, and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.
Repurchase Agreements – Substantially all repurchase agreement liabilities represent amounts advanced by various customers. Securities are pledged to cover these liabilities, which are not covered by federal deposit insurance.
Benefit Plans – Employee 401(k) and profit sharing plan expense is the amount of matching contributions. Deferred compensation and supplemental retirement plan expense allocates the benefits over years of service.
Stock-Based Compensation – Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Corporation’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
Income Taxes – Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments – Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer-financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Comprehensive Income – Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, which are also recognized as a separate component of equity.
64
Equity – Stock dividends in excess of 20% are reported by transferring the par value of the stock issued from retained earnings to common stock. Stock dividends for 20% or less are reported by transferring the fair value, as of the ex-dividend date, of the stock issued from retained earnings to common stock and additional paid-in capital. Fractional share amounts are paid in cash with a reduction in retained earnings.
Earnings Per Common Share – Basic earnings per common share are net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options and warrants. Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all stock splits and dividends through the date of issue of the financial statements.
Loss Contingencies – Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.
Dividend Restriction – Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank to the Company or by the Company to shareholders. (See Note 17 for more specific disclosure.)
Preferred Stock – Series A Preferred stock was issued in 2008 and is outstanding under the United States Department of the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program. Issued in conjunction with the Preferred Stock were common stock warrants. See Note 16 for a discussion of the terms and conditions of that transaction. The proceeds received in the offering were allocated on a pro rata basis to the Preferred Stock and the Warrants based on relative fair values. In estimating the fair value of the Warrants, the Company utilized the Black-Scholes model which includes assumptions regarding the Company’s common stock prices, stock price volatility, dividend yield, the risk free interest rate and the estimated life of the Warrant. The fair value of the Preferred Stock was determined using a discounted cash flow methodology. The value assigned to the Preferred Stock will be amortized up to the $35.0 million liquidation value of such preferred stock, with the cost of such amortization being reported as additional preferred stock dividends. Dividends are accrued and paid quarterly.
Series B and C Preferred stock were issued in 2010 and Series C Preferred stock remains outstanding. See Note 16 for a discussion of the terms and conditions of this transaction.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments – Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 19. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.
Reclassifications – Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” amended prior guidance to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Under ASC Topic 810, a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among other requirements, ASC Topic 810 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2009, and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. Further new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 amends prior guidance to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The new authoritative accounting guidance requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its affect on the entity’s financial statements. The Company adopted the provisions of the new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 on January 1, 2010. Adoption of the new guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements
65
ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” amends prior accounting guidance to enhance reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The Company adopted the provisions of the new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860 on January 1, 2010. Adoption of the new guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
ASC Topic 310 “Receivables.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 310, “Receivables,” amended prior guidance to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about the credit quality of loans and leases and the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the “Allowance”). The new authoritative guidance also requires additional disclosures related to credit quality indicators, past due information, and information related to loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring. The new authoritative guidance amends only the disclosure requirements for loans and leases and the allowance. The Company adopted the period end disclosures provisions of the new authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 310 in the reporting period ending December 31, 2010. Adoption of the new guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s statements of income and financial condition. The disclosures about activity that occurs will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2011, and will have no impact on the Company’s statements of income and financial condition.
FASB ASC 310 Receivables, Sub-Topic 310-30 Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“Subtopic 310-30”) was amended to clarify that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool under Subtopic 310-30 do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments do not affect the accounting for loans under the scope of Subtopic 310-30 that are not accounted for within pools. Loans accounted for individually under Subtopic 310-30 continue to be subject to the troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions within ASC 310 Subtopic 310-40 Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. The new authoritative accounting guidance under Subtopic 310-30 became effective in the third quarter of 2010 and did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 2 – STOCK PLANS AND STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has a stock option plan and a stock incentive plan. On February 23, 2006, the Company adopted the Porter Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. The 2006 Plan permits the issuance of up to 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the exercise of stock options or upon the grant of stock awards. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had granted outstanding options to purchase 41,314 shares. The Company also had granted 154,046 unvested shares net of forfeitures and vesting. The Company has 160,922 shares remaining available for issue under the plan. All shares issued under the above mentioned plans came from authorized and unissued shares.
On May 15, 2006, the board of directors approved the Porter Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Non-Employee Directors Stock Ownership Incentive Plan, which was approved by holders of the Company’s voting common stock on June 8, 2006. On May 22, 2008, shareholders voted to amend the plan to change the form of incentive award from stock options to unvested shares. Under the terms of the plan, 100,000 shares are reserved for issuance to non-employee directors upon the exercise of stock options or upon the grant of unvested stock awards granted under the plan. Prior to the amendment, options were granted automatically under the plan at fair market value on the date of grant. The options vest over a three-year period and have a five year term. Unvested shares are granted automatically under the plan at fair market value on the date of grant and vest semi-annually on the anniversary date of the grant over three years. To date, the Company has granted options to purchase 45,155 shares and issued 3,651 unvested shares to non-employee directors. At December 31, 2010, 47,300 shares remain available for issue under this plan.
All stock options have an exercise price that is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date the options were granted. Options granted generally become fully exercisable at the end of three years of continued employment. Options have a life of five years.

The intrinsic value of stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the market price of our common stock as of the reporting date. The intrinsic value of the vested and expected to vest stock options is $0 at December 31, 2010. There were no options exercised during 2010 or 2009. The Company recorded $2,000 and $61,000 of stock option compensation during 2010 and 2009, respectively, to salaries and employee benefits. A deferred tax benefit of $1,000 and $22,000, respectively, was recognized related to this expense. No options were modified during either period. As of December 31, 2010, no stock options issued by the Company have been exercised.
The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes based stock option valuation model. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions that will usually have a significant impact on the fair value estimate. Expected volatilities are based on volatilities of similar publicly traded companies due to the limited historical trading activity of the Company’s stock, and other factors. Expected dividends are based on dividend trends and the market price of the Company’s stock price at grant. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises within the valuation model. The risk-free 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 grant. No options were granted in 2010 or 2009.
From time-to-time, the Company issues unvested shares to employees and non-employee directors. The shares vest either semi-annually or annually over three to ten years on the anniversary date of the issuance date provided the employee or director continues in such capacity at the vesting date. The fair value on the date of issuance for shares issued during 2010 ranged from $11.05 to $12.81 per share. The Company recorded $465,000 and $325,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation during 2010 and 2009 to salaries and employee benefits. There was no significant impact on compensation expense resulting from forfeited or expired shares. We expect that substantially all of the unvested shares outstanding at the end of the period will vest according to the vesting schedule. A deferred tax benefit of $163,000 and $114,000, respectively, was recognized related to this expense.

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, underlying credit quality of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, the sector or industry trends and cycles affecting the issuer, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition. In December 2010, based upon relevant market information, we determined that our basis in a corporate debt security with an unrealized loss position for more the 12 months was not recoverable in the near term. Therefore, we recorded an other than temporary impairment charge totaling $132,000 for this security which had an original cost of $704,000. Management currently intends to hold all securities with unrealized losses until recovery, which for fixed income securities may be at maturity.
69
The Company held 45 equity securities at December 31, 2010. Of these securities, 1 had an unrealized loss of $1,000 and had been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and 7 had an unrealized loss of $2,000 and had been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. Management monitors the underlying financial condition of the issuers and current market pricing for these equity securities monthly. Based upon relevant market information and stock price trends in July and early August 2010, we determined that we could not objectively assert that our basis in 21 equity securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months was recoverable in the near term. As a result, during 2010, we recorded an other than temporary impairment charge totaling $465,000 for equity securities held in our portfolio with an original cost of $1.3 million. The market prices of the stocks has been below our initial investment for more than twelve months and after consideration of the issuers’ financial conditions and the likelihood the market value would recover to our cost basis in a reasonable period of time, the investment was written down to fair value. As of December 31, 2010, management does not believe any securities in our portfolio with unrealized losses should be classified as other than temporarily impaired at this time.

Troubled Debt Restructurings – At December 31, 2010 we had restructured loans totaling $25.5 million, compared with $25.2 million at December 31, 2009, with borrowers who experienced deterioration in financial conditions. These loans are secured by 1-4 residential or commercial real estate properties. Management believes these loans are well secured and the borrowers have the ability to repay the loans in accordance with the renegotiated terms. The Company has allocated no specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. The Company has committed to lend additional amounts totaling up to $273,000 and $2.4 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

Credit Quality Indicators – We categorize loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. Loans are analyzed individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes loans with an outstanding balance greater than $500,000 and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The following definitions are used for risk ratings:
Watch – Loans classified as watch are those loans which have experienced a potentially adverse development which necessitates increased monitoring.
Special Mention – Loans classified as special mention do not have all of the characteristics of substandard or doubtful loans. They have one or more deficiencies which warrant special attention and which corrective action, such as accelerated collection practices, may remedy.
Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are those loans with clear and defined weaknesses such as a highly leveraged position, unfavorable financial ratios, uncertain repayment sources or poor financial condition which may jeopardize the repayment of the debt as contractually agreed. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some losses if the deficiencies are not corrected.
73
Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful are those loans which have characteristics similar to substandard loans but with an increased risk that collection or liquidation in full is highly questionable and improbable.
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be “Pass” rated loans. As of December 31, 2010, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

NOTE 6 – OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED
Other real estate owned (OREO) is real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure. It is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold. When property is acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, it is recorded at its fair market value less cost to sell. Any write-down of the property at the time of acquisition is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent reductions in fair value are recorded as non-interest expense. To determine the fair value of OREO for smaller dollar single family homes, we consult with internal real estate sales staff and external realtors, investors, and appraisers. If the internally evaluated market price is below our underlying investment in the property, appropriate write-downs are taken. For larger dollar commercial real estate properties, we obtain a new appraisal of the subject property in connection with the transfer to other real estate owned. In some of these circumstances, an appraisal is in process at quarter end and we must make our best estimate of the fair value of the underlying collateral based on our internal evaluation of the property, review of the most recent appraisal, and discussions with the currently engaged appraiser. We do not obtain updated appraisals on a quarterly basis after the receipt of the initial appraisal. Rather, we internally review the fair value of the other real estate owned in our portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine if a new appraisal is warranted based on the specific circumstances of each property. The following table presents the major categories of OREO at the year-ends indicated:

We test goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the book value of the reporting unit. If the fair value, net of goodwill, exceeds book value, then goodwill is not considered to be impaired. We assessed goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of 2010 with the assistance of an independent valuation professional by applying a series of fair-value-based tests. While step 1 of the evaluation indicated potential impairment, the detailed step 2 test concluded that our goodwill was not impaired. Under prevailing accounting standards, different conditions, assumptions, or changes in expected cash flows and profitability could have a material adverse effect on the outcome of the impairment evaluation.

A liability is accrued for the obligation under these plans. The expense incurred for the plan was $264,000, $180,000 and $180,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The related liability was $1,161,000, $897,000 and $717,000 at December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and is included in other liabilities on the balance sheets.
The Company purchased life insurance on the participants to fund the benefits of these plans. The cash surrender value of all insurance policies was $7,805,000 and $7,509,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Income earned from the cash surrender value of life insurance totaled $296,000, $283,000 and $300,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The income is recorded as other non-interest income.

NOTE 16 – PREFERRED STOCK
On June 30, 2010, we completed a $27.0 million stock offering to a group of accredited investors in a private placement transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the federal and state securities laws. In connection with the private placement transaction, we issued (i) 1,755,747 shares of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share; (ii) 227,000 shares of Series B preferred stock at a price of $11.50 per share, which was automatically convertible into an aggregate of 227,000 shares of common stock upon receipt of shareholder approval, as discussed below; and (iii) 365,080 shares of Series C preferred stock at price of $11.50 per share. We also issued warrants to purchase 1,163,045 shares of non-voting common stock at a price of $11.50 per share.
On July 23, 2010, we completed a $4,255,000 stock offering to another accredited investor in a supplemental private placement transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the federal and state securities laws. In connection with the supplemental private placement transaction, we issued (i) 370,000 shares of Series B preferred stock at $11.50 per share and (ii) a warrant to purchase 185,000 shares of non-voting common stock at a purchase price of $11.50 per share. We also granted the accredited investor an option to purchase 64,784 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 32,392 shares of non-voting common stock at a purchase price of $11.50 per share. The option exercise price was $745,016, increasing the total potential gross proceeds to be received from the accredited investor to $5,000,000. The option was exercisable during the five business days following receipt of shareholder approval for purposes of NASDAQ Rule 5635.
The Company held a special meeting of shareholders on September 16, 2010. The shareholders approved the proposal for the issuance of common shares to allow for the conversion or exercise of 597,000 shares of the Series B preferred stock; 365,080 shares of our Series C preferred stock; 1,380,437 shares of non-voting common stock; and an option to purchase 64,784 shares of common stock at $11.50 per share. The shareholders also approved the proposal to authorize the new class of non-voting common stock, which will be issuable upon the exercise of the stock purchase warrants at a purchase price of $11.50 per share.
As a result of the shareholder approval, on September 21, 2010, 597,000 shares of Series B preferred stock were automatically converted into 597,000 shares of common stock. On September 27, 2010, the Company issued an additional 64,784 shares of common stock and granted a warrant to purchase 32,392 shares of non-voting common stock, in connection with the exercise of the option granted in the supplemental private placement transaction. This issuance of the additional shares of common stock resulted in the conversion of 48,038 shares of Series C preferred stock into shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the Series C preferred stock described below.
The Series C preferred stock is a non-voting class of stock substantially similar in priority to the common stock, except for a liquidation preference over shares of our common stock. The Series C preferred stock will automatically convert into common stock on a 1:1.05 share basis at such time as, after giving effect to the automatic conversion, the holder of such Series C preferred stock (and its affiliates or any other persons with which it is acting in concert or whose holdings would otherwise be required to be aggregated for purposes of federal banking law) beneficially holds, directly or indirectly, less than 9.9% of the number of shares of common stock then issued and outstanding.
The non-voting common stock is a non-voting class of stock substantially similar in rights and priority to our common stock, except that the non-voting common stock has no voting rights. The warrants become exercisable upon receipt of shareholder approval and expire September 16, 2015. To the extent issued upon exercise of the warrants, the non-voting common stock will automatically convert into common stock on a 1:1.05 share basis at such time as, after giving effect to the automatic conversion, the holder of such non-voting common stock (and its affiliates or any other persons with which it is acting in concert or whose holdings would otherwise be required to be aggregated for purposes of federal banking law) holds, directly or indirectly, beneficially less than 9.9% of the number of shares of common stock then issued and outstanding.
On November 21, 2008, as part of the United States Department of the Treasury’s (the “U.S. Treasury”) Capital Purchase Program made available to certain financial institutions in the U.S. pursuant to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), the Company and the U.S. Treasury entered into a Letter Agreement including the Securities Purchase Agreement – Standard Terms incorporated therein (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the U.S. Treasury, in exchange for aggregate consideration of $35.0 million, (i) 35,000 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, no par value per share and liquidation preference $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to 330,561 shares (the “Warrant Common Stock”) of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share, at an exercise price of $15.88 per share.
80
The Series A Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays cumulative cash dividends quarterly at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per annum thereafter. The Series A Preferred Stock is non-voting, other than class voting rights on certain matters that could adversely affect the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company at par on or after February 15, 2012. Prior to this date, the Series A Preferred Stock may not be redeemed unless the Company has received aggregate gross proceeds from one or more qualified equity offerings of any Tier 1 perpetual preferred or common stock of the Company (a “Qualified Equity Offering”) of not less than $8.75 million. Subject to certain limited exceptions, until November 21, 2011, or such earlier time as all Series A Preferred Stock has been redeemed or transferred by U.S. Treasury, the Company will not, without U.S. Treasury’s consent, be able to increase its dividend rate per share of common stock or repurchase its common stock.
The Warrant is immediately exercisable and has a 10-year term. The U.S. Treasury may not exercise voting power with respect to any shares of Warrant Common Stock until the Warrant has been exercised.
Upon receipt of the aggregate consideration from the U.S. Treasury on November 21, 2008, the Company allocated the $35.0 million proceeds on a pro rata basis to the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrant based on relative fair values. In estimating the fair value of the Warrant, the Company utilized the Black-Scholes model which includes assumptions regarding the Company’s common stock prices, stock price volatility, dividend yield, the risk free interest rate and the estimated life of the Warrant. The fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock was determined using a discounted cash flow methodology and a discount rate of 13%. As a result, the Company assigned $889,000 of the aggregate proceeds to the Warrant and $34.1 million to the Series A Preferred Stock. The value assigned to the Series A Preferred Stock will be amortized up to the $35.0 million liquidation value of such preferred stock, with the cost of such amortization being reported as additional preferred stock dividends. This results in a total dividend with a consistent effective yield of 5.40% over a five-year period, which is the expected life of the Series A Preferred Stock.
In addition, the Purchase Agreement (i) grants the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Warrant and the Warrant Common Stock certain registration rights, (ii) subjects the Company to certain of the executive compensation limitations included in the EESA (which are discussed below) and (iii) allows the Treasury to unilaterally amend any of the terms of the Purchase Agreement to the extent required to comply with any changes after November 21, 2008 in applicable federal statutes.
On December 18, 2008 the Company filed a “shelf” registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for the purpose of registering the Series A Preferred Stock, the Warrant and the Warrant Common Stock in order to permit the sale of such securities by the U.S. Treasury at any time after effectiveness of the registration statement. On January 5, 2009, the Company was notified by the Commission that the “shelf” registration statement was deemed effective.
Immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company amended its compensation, bonus, incentive and other benefit plans, arrangements and agreements to the extent necessary to comply with the executive compensation and corporate governance requirements of Section 111(b) of the EESA. The applicable executive compensation requirements apply to the compensation of the Company’s most senior executive officers (collectively, the “senior executive officers”). In addition, in connection with the closing of the U.S. Treasury’s purchase of the Series A Preferred Stock each of the senior executive officers was required to execute a waiver of any claim against the United States or the Company for any changes to his compensation or benefits that are required in order to comply with the regulation issued by the U.S. Treasury as published in the Federal Register on October 20, 2008.
On February 17, 2009, the America Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) required the U.S. Treasury to enact additional compensation standards. Under the ARRA, the compensation standards now include (i) a prohibition on severance payments to our five most highly-compensated employees, other than payments for services performed or benefits accrued; (ii) a prohibition on paying any bonuses, retention awards and other incentive compensation to our five most highly-compensated employees, except in the form of long-term restricted stock that has a value not exceeding one-third of the employee’s total annual compensation and (iii) a prohibition on companies implementing any compensation plan that would encourage manipulation of the reported earnings of the Company in order to enhance the compensation of any of its employees. The ARRA further provides that CPP recipients are permitted (subject to the U.S. Treasury’s consultation with the appropriate Federal banking agency, if any) to repay any assistance previously received without regard to any waiting periods and without regard to whether the financial institution has replaced the funds with funds from any other source. Upon repayment of assistance, the U.S. Treasury is to liquidate warrants associated with the assistance at the current market price and the financial institution will no longer be subject to any of the CPP compensation restrictions.
NOTE 17 – CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS
Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.
81
Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At year-end 2010 and 2009, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. PBI Bank has agreed with its primary regulators to maintain a ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of at least 12.0% and a ratio of Tier I capital to total risk-weighted assets of 9.0%.

Kentucky banking laws limit the amount of dividends that may be paid to a holding company by its subsidiary banks without prior approval. These laws limit the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year to current year’s net income, as defined in the laws, combined with the retained net income of the preceding two years, less any dividends declared during those periods. During 2011, the amount available to be paid by PBI Bank to Porter Bancorp would be $8.8 million plus 2011 earnings to date. However, PBI Bank has agreed with its primary regulators to obtain their written consent prior to declaring or paying any future dividends
NOTE 18 – LOAN COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED ACTIVITIES
Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, lines of credit and letters of credit are issued to meet customer-financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.
The Company holds instruments, in the normal course of business, with clients that are considered financial guarantees. Standby letters of credit guarantees are issued in connection with agreements made by clients to counterparties. Standby letters of credit are contingent upon failure of the client to perform the terms of the underlying contract. The Company evaluates each credit request of its customers in accordance with established lending policies. Based on these evaluations and the underlying policies, the amount of required collateral (if any) is established. Collateral held varies but may include negotiable instruments, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, income producing properties, residential real estate, and vehicles. The Company’s access to these collateral items is generally established through the maintenance of recorded liens or, in the case of negotiable instruments, possession. No liability is currently established for the standby letters of credit.

NOTE 19 – FAIR VALUES
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We use various valuation techniques to determine fair value, including market, income and cost approaches. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that an entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date, or observable inputs.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. When that occurs, we classify the fair value hierarchy on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. We used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value.
Securities: The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges, if available. This valuation method is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated on market prices of similar securities, or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. Matrix pricing relies on the securities’ relationship to similarly traded securities, benchmark curves, and the benchmarking of like securities. Matrix pricing utilizes observable market inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, and industry and economic events. In instances where broker quotes are used, these quotes are obtained from market makers or broker-dealers recognized to be market participants. This valuation method is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators. This valuation method is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Discounted cash flows are calculated using spread to swap and LIBOR curves that are updated to incorporate loss severities, volatility, credit spread and optionality. During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used (if available) to validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual securities are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations.
Impaired Loans: An impaired loan is evaluated at the time the loan is identified as impaired and is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loan and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is determined using several methods. Generally, the fair value of real estate is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach.
83
Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. These routine adjustments are made to adjust the value of a specific property relative to comparable properties for variations in qualities such as location, size, and income production capacity relative to the subject property of the appraisal. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
We routinely apply an internal discount to the value of appraisals used in the fair value evaluation of our impaired loans. The deductions to the appraisal take into account changing business factors and market conditions, as well as potential value impairment in cases where our appraisal date predates a likely change in market conditions. These deductions range from 10% for routine real estate collateral to 25% for real estate that is determined (1) to have a thin trading market or (2) to be specialized collateral. This is in addition to estimated discounts for cost to sell of six percent.
Impaired loans are evaluated quarterly for additional impairment. We obtain updated appraisals on properties securing our loans when circumstances are warranted such as at the time of renewal or when market conditions have significantly changed. This determination is made on a property-by-property basis in light of circumstances in the broader economic climate and our assessment of deterioration of real estate values in the market in which the property is located. The first stage of our assessment involves management’s inspection of the property in question. Management also engages in conversations with local real estate professionals, investors, and market makers to determine the likely marketing time and value range for the property. The second stage involves an assessment of current trends in the regional market. After thorough consideration of these factors, management will either internally evaluate fair value or order a new appraisal.
Other Real Estate Owned (OREO): OREO is evaluated at the time of acquisition and recorded at fair value as determined by independent appraisal or internal market evaluation less cost to sell. Our quarterly evaluations of OREO for impairment are driven by property type. For smaller dollar single family homes, we consult with internal real estate sales staff and external realtors, investors, and appraisers. Based on these consultations, we determine asking prices for OREO properties we are marketing for sale. If the internally evaluated fair value is below our underlying investment in the property, appropriate write-downs are taken.
For larger dollar commercial real estate properties, we obtain a new appraisal of the subject property in connection with the transfer to other real estate owned. In some of these circumstances, an appraisal is in process at quarter end, and we must make our best estimate of the fair value of the underlying collateral based on our internal evaluation of the property, review of the most recent appraisal, and discussions with the currently engaged appraiser. We do not obtain updated appraisals on a quarterly basis after the receipt of the initial appraisal. Rather, we internally review the fair value of the other real estate owned in our portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine if a new appraisal is warranted based on the specific circumstances of each property.
We routinely apply an internal discount to the value of appraisals used in the fair value evaluation of our impaired loans. The deductions to the appraisal take into account changing business factors and market conditions, as well as potential value impairment in cases where our appraisal date predates a likely change in market conditions. These deductions range from 10% for routine real estate collateral to 25% for real estate that is determined (1) to have a thin trading market or (2) to be specialized collateral. This is in addition to estimated discounts for cost to sell of six percent.

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a carrying amount of $29.8 million, with a valuation allowance of $5.1 million, at December 31, 2010, resulting in an additional provision for loan losses of $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2009, impaired loans had a carrying amount of $84.8 million, with a valuation allowance of $5.5 million, resulting in an additional provision for loan losses of $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Other real estate owned which is measured at the lower of carrying or fair value less costs to sell, had a net carrying amount of $67.6 million as of December 31, 2010, compared with $14.5 million at December 31, 2009. Write-downs of $14.1 million and $807,000 were recorded on other real estate owned for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:
Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing deposits with financial institutions, repurchase agreements, mortgage loans held for sale, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term borrowings, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. As permitted under ASC 825-10-55-3, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” for purposes of the disclosures in this footnote, the fair value of loans has been determined using the contractual cash flows of loans discounted at interest rates currently offered for similar loans. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. At November 30, 2010, in conjunction with our assessment of the potential impairment of goodwill, the fair value of loans was estimated under ASC 820-10-35 which determines fair value using a market exit price concept. Under that method, the fair value of loans was $1.2 billion. Fair value of subordinated capital notes and junior subordinated debentures are based on current rates for similar types of financing. The carrying amount is the estimated fair value for variable and subordinated debentures that reprice frequently. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. The fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is based on the current fees or cost that would be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements, which is not material.
