PORTER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements include Porter Bancorp, Inc. (Company or PBI) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PBI Bank (Bank). All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. A description of other significant accounting policies is presented in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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, fair values of financial instruments, and fair values of other real estate owned are particularly subject to change.

Reclassifications – Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

New Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (ASC 810). The new accounting requirement amends previous guidance relating to the transfers of financial assets and eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. This Statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. This Statement must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, on and after the effective date, the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is no longer relevant for accounting purposes. Therefore, formerly qualifying special-purpose entities should be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities on and after the effective date in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance. Additionally, the disclosure provisions of this Statement were also amended and apply to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this Statement. The impact of adoption was not material.

The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (ASC 810-65-2), which amended guidance for consolidation of variable interest entities by replacing the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. This Statement also requires additional disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement in variable interest entities. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter.

Note 2 – Stock Plans and Stock Based Compensation

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 June 30, 2010, the Company had granted outstanding options to purchase 50,628 shares. The Company also had granted 155,534 unvested shares net of forfeitures and vesting. The Company has 152,272 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 43,001 shares and issued 4,644 unvested shares to non-employee directors. At June 30, 2010, 49,812 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 June 30, 2010. There were no options exercised during the first six months of 2010. The Company recorded $1,000 of stock option compensation during the six months ended June 30, 2010 to salaries and employee benefits. No options were modified during the period. As of June 30, 2010, no stock options issued by the Company have been exercised.

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 of the 2010 unvested shares issued to certain employees was $11.60 per share. The fair value of shares issued to non-employee directors was $13.45 per share. The Company recorded $229,000 of stock-based compensation during the first six months of 2010 to salaries and employee benefits. A deferred tax benefit of $80,000 was recognized related to this expense.

Securities pledged at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 had carrying values of approximately $66.0 million and $67.3 million, respectively, and were pledged to secure public deposits, repurchase agreements, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

The Company’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio includes non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations with a market value of $24.2 million which had net unrealized gains of approximately $1.3 million at June 30, 2010. These non-agency mortgage-backed securities were rated AAA at purchase and remain rated AAA at June 30, 2010. The Company monitors its securities portfolio to insure it has adequate credit support and as of June 30, 2010, the Company believes there is no other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI).

The Company evaluates securities for OTTI 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. Management currently intends to hold all securities with unrealized losses until recovery, which for fixed income securities may be at maturity.

At June 30, 2010, the Company held 42 equity securities. 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 June, July and early August 2010, we have determined that we cannot objectively assert that our basis in 21 equity securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months is recoverable in the near term. As such during the second quarter, we recorded an other than temporary impairment charge totaling $465,000 for equity securities held in our portfolio with an original cost of $1.6 million. 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 the reasonable period of time, the investment was written down to fair value. As of June 30, 2010, management does not believe any of the remaining securities in our portfolio with unrealized losses should be classified as other than temporarily impaired at this time.

Securities with unrealized losses at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, are as follows:

Nonperforming loans include impaired loans and smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as residential mortgage and consumer loans, that are collectively evaluated for impairment. At June 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009, we had restructured loans totaling $23.7 million and $23.4 million, respectively, with borrowers who experienced deterioration in financial condition. These loans are secured by 1-4 residential properties, commercial real estate properties, equipment or inventory. Management believes these loans are well secured and the borrowers have the ability to repay the loans in accordance with the renegotiated terms. These restructured loans were on accrual status at each period end as payments were being made according to the restructured loan terms.

Note 5 – 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:

Note 7 – Fair Values Measurement

The FASB issued guidance that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

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.

Table of Contents

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. These calculations utilize appropriate market variable inputs that include estimates and assumptions such as discount rates, prepayment speeds, default rates, and loss severities on a security by security basis. This valuation method is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

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.

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 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.

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 banks, repurchase agreements, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term borrowings, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. The fair value of loans is estimated in accordance with paragraph 55-3 of ASC 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” by discounting expected future cash flows using market rates on like maturity. 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. 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. 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.

Note 10 – Capital

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) 1,755,745 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 will automatically convert 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.

Each share of Series B preferred stock is automatically convertible into one share of common stock on the third business day after the date of receipt of shareholder approval. Each share of Series B preferred stock provides for cumulative dividends of ten percent (10%) for the six month period ending December 31, 2010, and (ii) fifteen percent (15%) for each six-month period thereafter. If the shareholder approval described below occurs within the first six-month period, no dividends will be owed or paid on the Series B preferred stock.

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. After receipt of shareholder approval, as discussed below, the Series C preferred stock will automatically convert into common stock on a one share for one 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.

We also issued warrants to purchase 1,163,045 shares of non-voting common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. 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 on the fifth anniversary of that date. To the extent issued upon exercise of the warrants, the non-voting common stock will automatically convert into common stock on a one share for one 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. In estimating the fair value of the warrants, we utilized the Black-Scholes model which includes assumptions regarding the Company’s common stock prices, stock price volatility (38.9%), dividend yield (3.88%), the risk free interest rate (1.79%) and the estimated life (5 years) of the warrants. As a result, the Company estimated the fair value of the warrants to be $2.29 per warrant.

NASDAQ Rule 5635 requires shareholder approval when the total number of shares of common stock sold in a private placement at a price less than the greater of book or market value would exceed 20% of a company’s outstanding common stock. We must obtain shareholder approval to enable the exercise of the option described

in Note 11 and the conversion into common stock of the Series B preferred stock, Series C preferred stock and new non-voting common stock. The shareholders must also approve the new non-voting common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. We expect to submit these proposals for shareholder approval during the third quarter of 2010.

Each of the federal bank regulatory agencies has established minimum leverage capital requirements for banking organizations. Banking organizations must maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted average quarterly assets equal to 3% to 5% subject to federal bank regulatory evaluation of an organization’s overall safety and soundness. 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 9.0% by June 30, 2010.

The following table shows the ratios of Tier 1 capital and total capital to risk-adjusted assets and the leverage ratios for Porter Bancorp, Inc. and PBI Bank at the dates indicated:

Note 11 – Subsequent Event

On July 23, 2010, we completed a $4,255,000 stock offering to SBAV LP 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, we entered into a letter agreement with SBAV LP, which incorporated by reference the terms and conditions of the June 30 private placement. Pursuant to the terms of the letter agreement, we issued to SBAV LP (i) 370,000 shares of Series B preferred stock at $11.50 per share, which will automatically convert into an aggregate of 370,000 shares of common stock upon receipt of shareholder approval 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 SBAV LP 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 is $745,016, increasing the total potential gross proceeds to be received from SBAV LP to $5,000,000. The option is exercisable during the five business days following receipt of shareholder approval for purposes of NASDAQ Rule 5635.

Significant developments during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010 consist of the following:

 

   

Net interest margin increased 58 basis points to 3.71% in the second quarter of 2010 compared with 3.13% in the second quarter of 2009. For the first six months of 2010, net interest margin increased to 3.51% compared with 3.08% for the same period of 2009. The increase in margin since last year benefited from a lower average cost of funds. Net interest margin was also up from the first quarter of 2010 by 39 basis points primarily due to lower average cost of funds.

 

   

Net interest income increased 14.9% to $14.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and 16.6% to $28.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with the same quarter and six months of 2009, respectively. Net interest income benefited from a lower average cost of funds.

 

   

The Company recorded a net loss of $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and net income of $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with net income of $3.2 million and $6.3 million for the same periods of 2009, respectively. The loss for the 2010 second quarter was due primarily to a $5.0 million increase in the provision for loan losses to $6.6 million compared with $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2009 and a write-down of $3.4 million of other real estate owned.

 

   

Net loans decreased 2.3% to $1.31 billion compared with $1.34 billion at June 30, 2009.

 

   

Deposits increased 3.7% to $1.41 billion compared with $1.36 billion at June 30, 2009.

 

   

Total assets increased 3.0% to $1.76 billion compared with $1.71 billion at June 30, 2009.

 

   

Efficiency ratio was 60.2% for the first six months of 2010, compared with 55.1% for the first six of 2009. Our efficiency ratio increased from 49.8% to 60.2% as a result of $3.4 million in other real estate owned write-downs.

 

   

Non-performing loans decreased $11.8 million, or 19.5%, during the second quarter to $48.7 million at June 30, 2010, compared with $60.5 million at March 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to non-performing loans moving through the collection, foreclosure and disposition process.

 

   

Non-performing assets decreased $3.0 million, or 2.5%, during the second quarter to $117.2 million at June 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to sales of other real estate owned.

 

   

Shareholders’ equity rose to $196.2 million at the end of the second quarter and benefited from a stock offering that raised $27.0 million in gross proceeds that closed June 30, 2010. The proceeds resulted in improved capital ratios, including 11.11% tier 1 leverage ratio and 14.00% tier 1 risk-based capital ratio as of June 30, 2010.

The banking industry continues to experience very difficult times. Porter Bancorp is not immune from these difficulties. Real estate lending remains a core business for the Company, and we expect continued weakening in that sector in 2010. We have set up a real estate department with a dedicated real estate sales expert that has been successful in selling OREO properties and assisting in the sale of properties securing non-performing loans.

The following discussion and analysis covers the primary factors affecting our performance and financial condition.

Net loss of $1,131,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased $4.4 million, or 134.9%, from net income of $3,245,000 for the comparable period of 2009. This decrease in earnings was primarily attributable to increased provision for loan losses expense, and other real estate owned write-downs of $3.4 million to account for lower valuations. Net interest income benefited from decreased cost of funds to 2.05% in the 2010 second quarter from 2.98% in the prior year second quarter. The decrease in non-interest income was due to an other than temporary impairment charge on securities of $465,000, and lower gains on sales of loans originated for sale. These decreases were partially offset by increased income from service charges, fiduciary activities, and net gains on sales of securities. The increase in non-interest expense was due to the $3.4 million of other real estate owned write-downs, and increased salary and benefits expense and franchise tax expense. These increases were partially off-set by lower FDIC fees. Total FDIC fees were $706,000 in the second quarter of 2010 compared with $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2009. The 2009 FDIC fees included a special assessment of $781,000.

Net income of $2,125,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased $4.2 million, or 66.3%, from $6,306,000 for the comparable period of 2009. This decrease in earnings was primarily attributable to increased provision for loan losses expense, and other real estate owned write-downs of $3.4 million to account for lower valuations on the underlying real estate collateral. Net interest income benefited from decreased cost of funds to 2.13% in the first six months of 2010 from 3.13% in the same period of 2009. The decrease in non-interest income was due to an other than temporary impairment charge on securities of $465,000, partially offset by increased income from service charges, fiduciary activities, net gains on sales of securities, and gains on sales of loans originated for sale. The increase in non-interest expense was due to the $3.4 million of other real estate owned write-downs, and increased salary and benefits expense and franchise tax expense. These increases were partially off-set by lower FDIC fees. Total FDIC fees were $1.4 million in the first half of 2010 compared with $1.7 million in the second half of 2009. The 2009 FDIC fees included a special assessment of $781,000.

Net Interest Income – Our net interest income was $14,727,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $1.9 million, or 14.9%, compared with $12,813,000 for the same period in 2009. Net interest spread and margin were 3.51% and 3.71%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2010, compared with 2.76% and 3.13%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2009.

ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $4.1 million, or 16.6%, compared with $24,780,000 for the same period of 2009. Net interest spread and margin were 3.29% and 3.51%, respectively, for the first six months of 2010, compared with 2.69% and 3.08%, respectively, for the first six months of 2009. Net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2010, increased 39 basis points from our margin of 3.32% in the 2010 first quarter due primarily to lower cost of funds. Net interest margin for the first six months of 2010 increased 43 basis points from our margin of 3.08% in the first half of 2009 due primarily to increased average earning assets coupled with lower cost of funds.

Our yield on earning assets decreased to 5.56% for the second quarter of 2010 compared to 5.74% for the second quarter of 2009. Our cost of funds also decreased to 2.05% for the second quarter of 2010 compared to 2.98% for the second quarter of 2009. Our yield on earning assets declined 40 basis points from 5.82% during the first six months of 2010 and our cost of funds decreased 100 basis points from 3.13%.

Our average interest-earning assets were $1.67 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $1.64 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a 2.0% increase primarily attributable to growth in loans. Average loans were $1.38 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $1.36 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a 1.5% increase. Our total interest income decreased by 5.1% to $44.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $47.1 million for the same period in 2009. The change was due to lower yield on interest earning assets resulting from increased non-accrual loans.

Our average interest-bearing liabilities also increased by 4.4%, to $1.50 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $1.44 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Our total interest expense decreased by 29.1% to $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $22.4 million during the same period in 2009, primarily due to continued repricing of certificates of deposit at maturity at lower interest rates. Our average volume of certificates of deposit increased by 13.3% to $1.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The average interest rate paid on certificates of deposits decreased to 2.17% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with 3.45% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The certificate of deposit volume increase reflected organic growth from promotional efforts throughout the period.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The table below sets forth certain 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 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010 decreased $398,000, or 21.0%, compared with the second quarter of 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 non-interest income decreased by $192,000 to $3.2 million compared with $3.4 million for same period of 2009. The decrease in non-interest income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to an other than temporary impairment charge on securities, and lower net gains on sales of loans originated for sale. These decreases were partially offset by increased income from fiduciary activities from new business development, and secondary market brokerage fees from increased volume of secondary market loan originations. The decrease in non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to an other than temporary impairment charge on securities.

Non-interest expense for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010 increased $3.3 million, or 39.9%, compared with the second quarter of 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, non-interest expense increased $4.1 million, or 26.2%, to $19.6 million compared with $15.5 million for the first six months of 2009. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily attributable to write-downs of $3.4 million on other real estate owned to

account for lower valuations. In addition, salary and benefits expense for the 2010 second quarter increased $118,000, or 3.1%, over the prior year second quarter, and increased $187,000, or 2.43%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, over the same period of 2009, due to additions to staff. State franchise tax for the 2010 second quarter increased $93,000, or 20.7%, over the prior year second quarter, and increased $186,000, or 20.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, over the same period of 2009. Professional fees expense for the 2010 second quarter increased $89,000, or 43.8%, over the prior year second quarter, and increased $127,000, or 29.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, over the same period of 2009, due to higher legal and accounting services fees. These increases were partially offset by lower FDIC fees and advertising costs. FDIC fees were $1.4 million in the first six months of 2010 compared with $1.7 million in the first half of 2009. The 2009 FDIC fees included a special assessment of $781,000. Advertising expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased $48,000, or 38.4%, over the prior year second quarter, and decreased $110,000, or 38.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, over the same period of 2009, due to the decision to replace certain media advertising with customer relationship focused marketing.

Income Tax ExpenseIncome tax benefit was $758,000, or 40.1% of pre-tax loss, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010, and income tax expense of $806,000, or 27.5% of pre-tax income, for the first six months of 2010, compared with $1.6 million, or 33.5% of pre-tax income, for the second quarter of 2009, and $3.2 million, or 33.3% or pre-tax income, for the first six months of 2009.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Total assets decreased $74.4 million, or 4.1%, to $1.76 billion at June 30, 2010 from $1.84 billion at December 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $77.2 million in net loans due to efforts to move troubled loans through the collection, foreclosure, and disposition process, which contributed to the increase of $53.9 million in other real estate owned. Total assets at June 30, 2010 increased $50.8 million from $1.7 billion at June 30, 2009, representing a 3.0% increase.

Loans ReceivableLoans receivable decreased $76.8 million, or 5.4%, during the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $1.3 billion. Our commercial, commercial real estate and real estate construction portfolios decreased by an aggregate of $73.4 million, or 7.9%, during the six months and comprised 64.1% of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2010.

Loan Portfolio CompositionThe 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. Except for commercial real estate, construction real estate and residential real estate, there is no concentration of loans in any industry exceeding 10% of total loans.

Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2010 were $48.7 million, or 3.6% of total loans, compared with $19.3 million, or 1.4% of total loans, at June 30, 2009, and $84.9 million, or 6.0% of total loans at December 31, 2008. The decrease of $36.2 million in non-performing loans from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010 is primarily attributable to efforts to move troubled loans through collection, foreclosure, and disposition process.

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. 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.

Table of Contents

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 June 30, 2010, we had 22 restructured loans totaling $23.7 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, 9 loans totaling approximately $6.7 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.

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.

Foreclosed properties at June 30, 2010 were $68.5 million compared with $9.6 million at June 30, 2009 and $14.5 million at December 31, 2009. See Footnote 5, “Other Real Estate Owned”, to the financial statements. The majority of the increase was due to loans on two multi-unit residential condominiums and patio home developments that were valued at approximately $41.7 million. The bank acquired deeds in lieu of foreclosure on these properties. In addition, the increase in foreclosed properties from year-end 2009 reflects the normal progression of troubled loans through workout, collateral repossession and ultimate disposition. We value foreclosed properties at fair value less costs to sell when acquired and expect to liquidate these properties to recover our investment in the due course of business. Net loss on sales, write-downs, and operating expenses for other real estate owned totaled $3.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $226,000 and $353,000, respectively, for the same periods of 2009.

Allowance for Loan LossesThe allowance for loan losses is based on management’s continuing review and risk 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.

Table of Contents

Management has established loan grading procedures that result in specific allowance allocations for any estimated inherent risk of loss. For loans not individually graded, a general allowance allocation is computed using factors developed over time based on actual loss experience. The specific and general allocations plus consideration of qualitative factors represent management’s best estimate of probable losses contained in the loan portfolio at the evaluation date. Although the allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific and general allocations, the entire allowance is available to absorb any credit losses.

Our loan loss reserve, as a percentage of total loans at June 30, 2010, increased to 2.01% from 1.52% at June 30, 2009, and 1.87% at December 31, 2009. Provision for loan losses increased $5.0 million to $6.6 million for the second quarter of 2010 compared with the second quarter of 2009. Provision for loan losses increased $6.4 million to $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $3.2 million for the same six months of 2009. Net loan charge-offs for the second quarter of 2010 were $6.3 million, or 0.46% of average loans, compared with $1.2 million, or 0.09%, for the second quarter of 2009, and $2.8 million, or 0.20%, for the first quarter of 2010. Net loan charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $9.2 million, or 0.66% of average loans, compared with $2.1 million, or 0.16%, for the first six months of 2009. Our allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans increased to 55.11% at June 30, 2010, compared with 31.10% at December 31, 2009, but declined in comparison with 107.59% at June 30, 2009. The change in this metric between periods is attributable to the fluctuation in non-accrual loans. 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 the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses.

The majority of our nonperforming loans are secured by real estate collateral. While our nonperforming loans have trended upward since 2008, the underlying collateral coverage for nonperforming loans supports the likelihood of collection of our principal, and therefore, we do not estimate a proportionate upward trending in losses. Our allowance for non-performing loan to non-performing loans was 14.8% at June 30, 2010 compared to 8.9% at June 30, 2009, and 8.6% at December 31, 2009.

LiabilitiesTotal liabilities at June 30, 2010 were $1.56 billion compared with $1.67 billion at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $101.3 million, or 6.1%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in deposits of $115.8 million, or 7.6%, at June 30, 2010 to $1.41 billion from $1.53 billion at December 31, 2009. The decrease in deposits was primarily due to planned reduction in brokered deposits and internet division deposits.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $13.7 million, or 16.5%, to $96.7 million from $83.0 million at December 31, 2009. These advances are used from time to time to fund asset growth and manage interest rate risk in accordance with our asset/liability management strategies.

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 the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, as well as our operating cash needs, are met,

Table of Contents

taking into account all on- and off-balance sheet funding demands. Liquidity risk management also includes ensuring cash flow needs are met 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. The liquidity position is continually monitored and reviewed by our Asset Liability Committee.

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 2009 and the first six months of 2010, PBI Bank utilized brokered and wholesale deposits to supplement its funding strategy. At June 30, 2010, these deposits totaled $85.5 million compared with $114.6 million at December 31, 2009. PBI Bank also secured federal funds borrowing lines from major correspondent banks totaling $44.0 million on an unsecured basis and an additional $25 million on a secured basis.

Traditionally, PBI Bank has utilized borrowings from the FHLB to supplement our funding requirements. At June 30, 2010, the Bank had an unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB of $56.7 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. PBI Bank must obtain the prior written consent of its primary regulators prior to declaring or paying any future dividends.

Capital

Stockholders’ equity increased $26.9 million to $196.2 million at June 30, 2010 compared with $169.3 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was due to the completion of a stock offering during the 2010 second quarter that raised $27.0 million in gross proceeds, net income earned during the first six months of 2010 reduced by dividends declared on common stock and dividends paid on 5% cumulative preferred stock, and increased unrealized net gains on available-for-sale securities. Both the Company and PBI Bank qualified as well capitalized under regulatory guidelines at June 30, 2010.

See Footnote 10 “Capital” for detailed regulatory capital ratios.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company’s interest sensitivity profile was asset sensitive at June 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009. Given an instantaneous 100 basis point decrease in rates that was sustained for 12 months, base net interest income would decrease by an estimated 4.8% at June 30, 2010 compared with a decrease of 4.5% at December 31, 2009. Given a 100 basis point increase in interest rates, base net interest income would increase by an estimated 4.3% at June 30, 2010, compared with an increase of 4.9% at December 31, 2009 and is within the risk tolerance parameters of our risk management policy.

The following table indicates the estimated impact on net interest income under various interest rate scenarios for the twelve months following June 30, 2010, as calculated using the static shock model approach:

 

     Change in Future
Net Interest Income
 
     Dollar Change    Percentage Change  
     (dollars in thousands)  

+ 200 basis points

   $ 5,502    8.88

+ 100 basis points

     2,664    4.30

We did not run a model simulation for declining interest rates as of June 30, 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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (b) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Additionally, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.

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

Sale of Equity Securities

On June 30, 2010, the Company completed a $27.0 million stock offering in a private placement to select accredited investors in which the Company issued:

 

   

1,755,747 shares of common stock for $11.50 per share,

 

   

227,000 shares of Cumulative Mandatory Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (“Series B Preferred Stock”) for $11.50 per share;

 

   

365,080 shares of Non-Voting Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C (“Series C Preferred Stock”) for $11.50 per share; and

 

   

warrants to purchase 1,163,045 shares of convertible non-voting common stock (“Non-Voting Common Stock”) at a purchase price of $11.50 per share (“Warrants”).

On July 23, 2010, the Company 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 in exchange for the sale and issuance of:

 

   

370,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for $11.50 per share, and

 

   

a Warrant to purchase 185,000 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock at a purchase price of $11.50 per share.

The Company also granted the new investor an option to purchase both 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 is $745,016, increasing the total potential gross proceeds to be received from the new investor to $5,000,016. The option will become exercisable during the five business days following shareholder approval at the special meeting.

The Company must obtain shareholder approval to (1) issue common stock upon the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock and the exercise of the option to purchase common stock in accordance with NASDAQ Rule 5635; and (2) authorize the new class of Non-Voting Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The Company expects to submit these proposals for shareholder approval at a special shareholder meeting during the third quarter of 2010.

Purchases of Equity Securities by Issuer

In December 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the repurchase of shares of Porter Bancorp’s common stock in an amount not to exceed $3 million, exclusive of any fees or commissions. As of June 30, 2010, Porter Bancorp had approximately $2.5 million remaining to purchase shares under the current stock repurchase program. The shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions at its discretion, subject to market conditions and other factors. The Company did not repurchase any shares in the second quarter of 2010. The terms of the $35 million senior preferred stock transaction with the U.S. Treasury limit our ability to repurchase shares of common stock until after November 21, 2011, unless the preferred shares sold to the U.S. Treasury have been redeemed in whole or transferred to an unaffiliated third party.
