         Robert Zapp, President & CEO stated, “We followed an exceptional opening quarter of 2011 with a second quarter of improved earnings.  We announced plans to open our first branch in downtown Cincinnati later this year and we executed a purchase and assumption agreement with United Kentucky Bank of Pendleton County, Inc.  We are excited to open our first branch in Ohio and to welcome the staff and customers of UKB in Falmouth, Kentucky.  These positive and strategic moves are coupled with the continued improvement we witnessed in the second quarter with respect to our credit metrics and overall loan demand.  I have confidence in our team and the resources we have put in place as we work to maintain our path, strategically and financially, in the coming quarters.”
 
          Driving the increase in earnings in the second quarter of 2011 was a $1,500,000 (33%) decrease in the provision for loan losses as compared to the second quarter of 2010.  Also contributing to increased earnings was a 3% increase in total revenue. The increase in net income available to common shareholders was also attributable to a 50% reduction in preferred stock dividends and amortization. The decrease in the provision for loan losses reflected improving credit metrics as compared to June of 2010, while the reduction of preferred stock dividends and amortization reflects the December 2010 repurchase of $17 million of the outstanding $34 million of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), previously issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury as part of the TARP CPP program.
 
 
 

 
 
          Net interest income increased $573,000, or 4% in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010. The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, increased 3 basis points from 3.81% in the second quarter of 2010 to 3.84% in the second quarter of 2011.  Contributing to the increase in net interest income was the growth in average earning assets, which increased $53 million, or 4% on average from the second quarter of 2010.
 
The provision for loan losses decreased by $1,500,000 (33%) in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010.  Contributing to this decrease were lower levels of non-performing loans and charge-offs as compared to June 2010.   The Company’s non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans were 1.46% as of June 30, 2011, as compared to 1.99% as of June 30, 2010, while annualized net charge-offs to average loans decreased from 1.26% in the second quarter of 2010 to 1.03% in the second quarter of 2011.  The Company recorded $2,871,000 in net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to $3,577,000 in the second quarter of 2010.  On a sequential basis, the provision for loan losses of $3,000,000 in the second quarter of 2011 was equal to the provision in the first quarter of 2011, while non-performing loans decreased from $20.4 million (1.82% of total loans) at March 31, 2011 to $16.4 million (1.46% of total loans) at June 30, 2011.  Net charge-offs on a sequential basis increased slightly from $2,680,000 (.98% of loans) in the first quarter of 2011 to $2,871,000 (1.03% of loans) in the second quarter of 2011.  The allowance for loan losses (ALL) increased $1,285,000 or 8% from June 2010, and $448,000 from December 31, 2010.  As a result of the added allowance, the ALL has increased from 1.47% of loans at the end of the second quarter of 2010 to 1.58% of loans at the end of the second quarter of 2011.   The adequacy of the ALL is analyzed quarterly and adjusted as necessary to maintain appropriate reserves for probable incurred losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio.
 
          Non-interest income increased 1% ($34,000) in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, while non-interest expense increased 3% ($319,000) from the same period last year.  Contributing to the increase in non-interest expense was $281,000 (6%) increase in salaries and employee benefits.
 
           Total assets were $1.602 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2011, which was $82 million or 5% higher than the same date a year ago. Total loans increased $6 million (0%) while investments in securities increased $86 million (37%) from June of 2010.   The increased investments in securities were funded by an increase in deposits of $54 million, or 4%, and an increase in shareholders’ equity of $21 million or 15%.  The growth in equity was a result of increased earnings as described above and the net increase in capital from the Company’s December 2010 common stock offering, less the Series A Preferred Stock repurchase.
