THE BANK OF KENTUCKY FINANCIAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2014

(unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation:

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporation (“BKFC” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Bank of Kentucky, Inc. (the “Bank”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Note 2 - General:

These financial statements were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all of the disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Except for required accounting changes, these financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the annual financial statements and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position at the end of and for the periods presented. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make 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 and the fair values of financial instruments, in particular, are subject to change.

Note 3 - Earnings per Share:

Earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three and six month periods. Diluted earnings per share show the potential dilutive effect of additional common shares issuable under the Company’s stock compensation plan and warrants. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 0 and 376,072 options were not considered, as they were not dilutive, and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 0 and 428,916 options were not considered, as they were not dilutive. The following table presents the numbers of shares used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share for the indicated periods:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013

Weighted average shares outstanding		7,662,927		7,491,619		7,651,900		7,485,260
Dilutive effects of assumed exercises of stock options and warrant		39,304		72,502		43,121		89,983
Shares used to compute diluted earnings per share		7,702,231		7,564,121		7,695,021		7,575,243

Note 4 – Stock-Based Compensation:

Stock-based compensation in the form of options to buy stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are granted to directors, officers and employees under the Company’s incentive stock plan (the “Plan”), which provides for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares.

Stock Options

The specific terms of each option agreement are determined by the Compensation Committee at the date of the grant. For current options outstanding, options granted to directors vest immediately and options granted to employees generally vest evenly over a five-year period.

The Company recorded stock option expense of $5,000 (net of taxes) and $10,000 (net of taxes) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 respectively, and $13,000 (net of taxes) and $25,000 (net of taxes) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 respectively.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

The specific terms of each RSU award are determined by the Compensation Committee at the date of the grant. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at issue date. The fair value of the stock was determined using the total number of RSUs granted multiplied by the grant date fair market value of a share of company stock. Certain service based RSUs vest after one year and performance based RSUs vest after three years based on achievement of certain targets.

A summary of changes in the Company’s non-vested shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 is as follows:

Three months ended June 30, 2014 Nonvested Shares	Shares		Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value

Non-vested at April 1, 2014		12,768	$	32.02
Granted		10,820		35.90
Vested		4,494		26.25
Forfeited		800		34.69

Non-vested at June 30, 2014		18,294	$	35.56

			Weighted-Average
Six months ended June 30, 2014			Grant-Date
Nonvested Shares	Shares		Fair Value

Non-vested at January 1, 2014		4,494	$	26.25
Granted		19,094		35.58
Vested		4,494		26.25
Forfeited		800		34.69

Non-vested at June 30, 2014		18,294	$	35.56

The Company recorded RSU expense of $149,000 and $250,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 respectively. As of June 30, 2014, there was $475,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested shares granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a period of 10 months.

Note 5 – Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and investments in money market mutual funds. The Company reports net cash flows for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest-bearing balances with banks and short-term borrowings with maturities of 90 days or less.

Note 6 – Reclassification:

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income or shareholders’ equity.

Note 7 – New Accounting Pronouncements:

In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This new standard will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017 and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Management is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on our financial statements.

Note 8–Securities:

The fair value of available-for-sale securities and the related gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was as follows (in thousands):

	$	322,913	$	324,454	$	75,738	$	76,020

Proceeds on the sale of $5,028,000 and $5,230,000 of available-for-sale securities resulted in gains of $305,000 and $274,000 for the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. No securities were sold in the first quarter of 2014. No securities were sold in the second quarter of 2013. No securities were sold with losses in the first quarter of 2013.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity are evaluated for OTTI under ASC 320, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.

In determining OTTI, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

When OTTI occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. Otherwise, the OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings shall become the new amortized cost basis of the investment.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Bank’s security portfolio consisted of 226 securities, 65 of which were in an unrealized loss position of $3,125,000 and 250 securities, 91 of which were in an unrealized loss position; totaling $6,881,000 respectively. There was no OTTI of securities at June 30, 2014. Unrealized losses have not been recognized into income because the issuers’ bonds are of high credit quality (U.S. government agencies and government sponsored enterprises and “A” rated or better Kentucky municipalities), management does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. At June 30, 2014, 100% of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Bank were issued by U.S. government sponsored entities and agencies, primarily Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, including: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes loans with an outstanding balance greater than $100,000 and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. Loans with balances below $100,000 and homogenous loans, such as residential real estate and consumer loans, are analyzed for credit quality based on aging status, which was previously presented. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows (in thousands):

Note 10 –Fair Value:

Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard 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 the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Investment Securities: The fair values of securities available-for-sale are determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used 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 (Level 2 inputs). One corporate security is valued using Level 3 inputs as there is no readily observable market activity. Management determines the value of this security based on expected cash flows, the credit quality of the security and current market interest rates.

Derivatives: The Bank’s derivative instruments consist of over-the-counter interest-rate swaps that trade in liquid markets. The fair value of the derivative instruments is primarily measured by obtaining pricing from broker-dealers recognized to be market participants. The pricing is derived from market observable inputs that can generally be verified and do not typically involve significant judgment by the Bank. This valuation method is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Impaired Loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. 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 independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

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. These assets are subsequently accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. 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 independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Loans Held For Sale: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, which is evaluated on a pool-level basis. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan or other observable market data, such as outstanding commitments from third party investors (Level 2).

Probability of default

The interest rate on this security is based on interest rates paid for securities with similar credit characteristics, but the probability of default is determined through a credit quality review rather than formal ratings or other observable inputs. The interest rate adjusts to reflect current market conditions of highly rated investments, if probability of default changed significantly, the interest rate would adjust accordingly and the fair value would be updated. Management reviews this interest rate and the security’s credit quality quarterly and a market value adjustment is made if necessary pursuant to this review.

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a gross carrying amount of $10,756 with a valuation allowance of $1,687, resulting in a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $1,732 in the first half of 2014 and a $2,031 decrease in the provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2014. As of December 31, 2013, impaired loans had a gross carrying amount of $17,600, with a valuation allowance of $3,419, resulting in a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $2,846.

Other real estate owned, measured at fair value less costs to sell, had a net carrying amount of $825, which is made up of the outstanding balance of $1,090, net of a valuation allowance of $265 at June 30, 2014, resulting in a write-down of $86, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. At December 31, 2013, other real estate owned measured at fair value less costs to sell, had a net carrying amount of $2,772, which is made up of the outstanding balance of $3,287, net of a valuation allowance of $515, resulting in a write-down of $263 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Values for collateral dependent loans and other real estate owned are generally based on appraisals obtained from licensed real estate appraisers and in certain circumstances consideration of offers obtained to purchase properties prior to foreclosure or other factors management deems relevant to arrive at a representative fair value. Appraisals for commercial real estate generally use three methods to derive value: cost, sales or market comparison and income approach. The cost method bases value on the cost to replace the current property. The market comparison approach evaluates the sales price of similar properties in the same market area. The income approach considers net operating income generated by the property and an investor’s required return. The final fair value is based on a reconciliation of these three approaches.

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

Interest-bearing deposits with banks: The carrying amount of interest-bearing deposits equivalents approximate fair value and are classified as Level 1.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock: It is not practicable to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

Loans held for sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based upon binding contracts and quotes from third party investors resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Loans, net: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

Accrued interest receivable/payable: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 classification consistent with the classification of the asset/liability with which they are associated.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 1 classification. The carrying amounts of variable rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in a Level 2 classification. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Short-term borrowings: The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings, generally maturing within ninety days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Notes payable: The carrying amounts of borrowings under repurchase agreements approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification. The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification. The fair values of the Company’s subordinated debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

Standby letters of credit and off-balance sheet instruments: Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing, which results in a level 3 classification. The fair value of commitments is not material. Estimated fair value of standby letters of credit are based on their current unearned fee balance. Estimated fair value for commitments to make loans and unused lines of credit are considered nominal.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

BKFC has prepared all of the consolidated financial information in this quarterly report in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, BKFC makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurances that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

We have identified the accounting policy related to the allowance for loan losses as critical to the understanding of BKFC’s results of operations, since the application of this policy requires significant management assumptions and estimates that could result in reporting materially different amounts if conditions or underlying circumstances were to change.

The Bank maintains an allowance to absorb probable, incurred loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Bank’s policy is to maintain an allowance for loan losses at an adequate level based upon ongoing quarterly assessments and evaluations of the collectability and historical loss experience of loans. Loan losses are charged and recoveries are credited to the allowance for loan losses. Provisions for loan losses are based on the Bank’s review of its historical loan loss experience and such factors that, in management’s judgment, deserve consideration under existing economic conditions in estimating probable loan losses. The Bank’s strategy for credit risk management includes a combination of well-defined credit policies, uniform underwriting criteria, and ongoing risk monitoring and review processes for all commercial and consumer credit exposures. The credit risk management strategy also includes assessments of compliance with commercial and consumer policies, risk ratings and other important credit information. The strategy also emphasizes regular credit examinations and management reviews of loans exhibiting deterioration in credit quality. The Bank strives to identify potential problem loans early and promptly undertake the appropriate actions necessary to mitigate or eliminate the increasing risk identified in these loans.

The allowance for loan losses consists of two components, the specific reserve, pursuant to ASC 310, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and the general reserve, pursuant to ASC 450-10, Accounting for Contingencies. A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. The specific reserve component is an estimate of loss based upon an impairment review of loans which meet certain criteria that are considered impaired. An insignificant delay or insignificant shortfall in amount of payments is not considered an impairment. In addition, a loan is not impaired during a period of delay in payment if the creditor expects to collect all amounts due including interest accrued at the contractual interest rate for the period of delay. Thus, a demand loan or loan that has been extended beyond its original maturity date is not impaired if the creditor expects to collect all amounts due including interest accrued at the contractual interest rate during the period the loan is outstanding.

The general reserve includes an estimate of commercial and consumer loans with similar characteristics. Depending on the set of facts with respect to a particular loan, the Bank utilizes one of the following methods for determining the proper impairment of a loan:

the present value of expected future cash flows of a loan;

the market price of the loan based upon readily available information for that type of loan; and

the fair value of collateral.

The allowance established for impaired loans is generally based, for all collateral-dependent loans, on the fair value of the collateral, less the estimated cost to liquidate. For non-collateral dependent loans (such as accruing troubled debt restructurings), the allowance is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted by the loan’s effective interest rate. A small portion of the Bank’s loans which are impaired under the ASC 310 process carry no specific reserve allocation. These loans were reviewed for impairment and are considered adequately collateralized with respect to their respective outstanding principal loan balances. The majority of these loans are loans which have had their respective impairment (or specific reserve) amounts charged off, or are loans related to other impaired loans which continue to have a specific reserve allocation. It is the Bank’s practice to maintain these impaired loans, as analyzed and provided for in the ASC 310 component of the allowance for loan losses, to avoid double counting of any estimated losses that may have been included in the ASC 450-10 component of the allowance for loan losses.

Generally, the Bank orders a new or updated appraisal on real estate properties which are subject to an impairment review. Upon completion of the impairment review, loan reserves are increased as warranted. Charge-offs, if necessary, are generally recognized in a period after the reserves were established. Adjustments to new or updated appraisal values are not typically done, but in those cases when an adjustment is necessary, it is documented with supporting information and typically results in an adjustment to decrease the property’s value because of additional information obtained concerning the property after the appraisal or an update has been received by the Bank. If a new or updated appraisal is not available at the time of a loan’s impairment review, the Bank typically applies a discount to the value of an old appraisal to reflect the property’s current estimated value if there is believed to be deterioration in either (i) the physical or economic aspects of the subject property or (ii) any market conditions. Updated valuations on one to four family residential properties with small to moderate values are generally accomplished by obtaining an evaluation or appraisal. Generally, an “as is” value is utilized in most of the Bank’s real estate based impairment analyses. However, under certain limited circumstances, an “as stabilized” valuation may be utilized, provided that the “as stabilized” value is tied to a well-justified action plan to bring the real estate project to a stabilized occupancy under a reasonable period of time.

If a partially charged-off loan has been restructured in a manner that is reasonably assured of repayment and performance according to prudently modified terms, and has sustained historical payment performance for a reasonable period of time prior to and/or after the restructuring, it may be returned to accrual status and is classified as a TDR loan. However, if the above conditions cannot be reasonably met, the loan remains on non-accrual status.

In addition, the Bank evaluates the collectability of both principal and interest when assessing the need for loans to be placed on non-accrual status. Non-accrual status denotes loans in which, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is unlikely. A loan is generally placed on non-accrual status if: (i) it becomes 90 days or more past due or (ii) for which payment in full of both principal and interest cannot be reasonably expected.

The general component of the allowance covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. For loans that are risk rated, the historical loss experience is determined based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company over the most recent four years. These loss ratios are calculated from a migration analysis of the charge offs over this period, but excludes the ratios from the most recent twelve months period as they are not appropriately seasoned. The loss ratios for loans designated as belonging to homogeneous pools, including smaller balance consumer loans, are calculated for a five year period and a one year period, with the higher of the two loss ratio’s currently used in the allowance calculation. These actual loss experiences are 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; trends in volume and terms of loans; 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. These factors are consistent within each of the portfolio segments, which have been identified as: commercial, residential real estate, nonresidential real estate, construction, consumer and municipal obligations.

Management utilizes a detailed approach to setting the environmental adjustments to the historical loss. Factors that management considers as part of this approach in setting the environmental adjustments include economic trends, loan policies, lender experience, loan growth, delinquency trend, non-performing asset trends, classified loan trends and credit concentrations.

Reserves on individual loans and historical loss rates are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as necessary based on changing borrower and/or collateral conditions, as well as actual collection and charge-off experience.

Charge-offs are recognized when it becomes evident that a loan or a portion of a loan is deemed uncollectible regardless of its delinquent status. The Bank generally charges off that portion of a loan that is determined to be unsupported by an obligor’s continued ability to repay the loan from income and/or assets, both pledged and unpledged as collateral.

OVERVIEW

Economic Overview

The second quarter ended June 30, 2014 saw the pace of growth increase both nationally and in the geographic markets where we operate following the adverse winter weather conditions which impacted economic output to start the year . The United States’ gross domestic product (GDP) was impacted by an increase in both consumer and corporate spending.

Overall economic growth continued to expand as the labor market improved, represented by the 816,000 non-farm jobs produced in the second quarter. The decline in the unemployment rate continued during the quarter. However, the percent of eligible workforce employed remains well below historical averages.

2014 Second Quarter and Six Month Performance Overview

The results of the second quarter and first six months of 2014 reflect effects of increased loan growth, overall improving credit metrics, net interest income growth and contained non-interest expense. The Company completed the second quarter and first six months of 2014 with an 12% increase in diluted earnings per share for both the quarter and first six months. The 12% increase in diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2014 compared with the same period in 2013 was the result of a $600,000 (38%) reduction in the provision for loan losses, $273,000 (2%) growth in net interest income, and a $454,000 (8%) growth in non-interest income, which were partially offset by a $483,000 (4%) increase in non-interest expense compared with the same period in 2013. The reduction in the provision for loan losses was accompanied by lower levels of charge-offs and lower levels of classified loans from the previous year. The growth in net interest income is a result of loan growth, which has increased $86,703,000 or 7% from June 30, 2013. The increase in non-interest income included a $305,000 gain on the sale of securities.

The following sections provide more detail on subjects presented in the overview.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at June 30, 2014 were $1,857,787,000 compared with $1,857,492,000 at December 31, 2013, an increase of $295,000. Loans outstanding increased $22,507,000 from $1,249,645,000 at December 31, 2013 to $1,272,152,000 at June 30, 2014. Available-for-sale securities decreased $16,669,000 (5%) from $341,123,000 at December 31, 2013 to $324,454,000 at June 30, 2014.

As Table 1 illustrates, the increase in the loan portfolio in 2014 was the result of an increase in commercial real estate loans of $7,631,000 (1%) and commercial loans of $16,776,000 (7%). Management expects a steady increase in loan demand in 2014, mirroring the current economic conditions as discussed above. The Bank intends to continue to make loans that meet its longstanding prudent lending standards.

Deposits decreased $14,766,000 to $1,572,819,000 at June 30, 2014, compared to $1,587,585,000 at December 31, 2013. The largest decrease in deposits came from money market deposits which decreased $18,275,000 (9%), which was partially offset with an $11,198,000 (3%) increase in non-interest bearing deposits.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

Net income for the six months ended June 30 increased from $8,575,000 ($1.13 diluted earnings per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $9,683,000 ($1.26 diluted earnings per share) in 2014, an increase of $1,108,000 (13%). Net income for the second quarter was $5,065,000 ($.66 diluted earnings per share) as compared to $4,485,000 ($.59 diluted earnings per share) during the same period of 2013, an increase of $580,000 (13%). The primary reason for the increase in net income from the second quarter of 2013 compared with the second quarter of 2014 was a $600,000 (38%) decrease in the provision for loan losses, which was reflective of lower charge-offs and lower levels of non-performing loans compared with the second quarter of 2013. Also, contributing to the increase in net income from the second quarter of 2013 to the second quarter of 2014 was a $273,000 (2%) increase in net interest income, and a $454,000 (8%) increase in non-interest income which was offset by a $483,000 (4%) increase in non-interest expense. The increase in non-interest income included an increase in net securities gains of $305,000 and an increase in trust fee income of $134,000 (16%), which were partially offset by a decrease in mortgage banking income of $424,000. The increase in non-interest expense included a $260,000 (78%) increase in FDIC insurance expense.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $273,000 in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, while the year to date total increased $559,000 (2%) from $27,291,000 in 2013 to $27,850,000 in 2014. As illustrated in Table 2 below, the net interest margin of 3.38% for the second quarter of 2014 was eight basis points less than the 3.46% net interest margin for the second quarter of 2013. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased two basis points from .36% for the second quarter of 2013 to .34% in the second quarter of 2014, while the yield on earning assets decreased 10 basis points from 3.75% for the second quarter of 2013 to 3.65% for the second quarter of 2014.

The increase in net interest income was the result of higher levels of earning assets and a higher yielding mix of earning assets in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the second quarter of 2013. As illustrated in Table 2, average interest earning assets increased $72,590,000 or 4% from the second quarter of 2013 to the second quarter of 2014. The mix of earning assets also improved as average loan balances increased $77,780,000 or 7% which had a yield of 4.22%, while other interest-earning assets with a yield of .95% decreased $20,711,000 or 44% from the second quarter of 2013. Table 4 shows that the net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis was positively impacted by the volume additions to the balance sheet by $898,000, which was offset with a negative rate variance of $600,000. As further illustrated in Table 4, the favorable volume variance was driven by the increase in interest income attributable to loans of $849,000. As the negative rate variance in the second quarter of 2014 indicates, if rates were to continue to fall in 2014, the effect on the Company is expected to be negative, as shown and explained below.

The Company uses an earnings simulation model to estimate and evaluate the impact of changing interest rates on earnings. The model projects the effect of instantaneous movements in interest rates of both 100 and 200 basis points. By simulating the effects of movements in interest rates, the model can estimate the Company’s interest rate exposure. The results of the model are used by management to approximate the results of rate changes and do not indicate actual expected results. As shown below, the June 30, 2014 simulation analysis indicates that the Company is in a slightly asset interest rate sensitive position, with the net interest income positively impacted by rising rates. As a result of the current historically low rate environment, the effects of a 100 basis point decrease in rates would also be negative to the net interest income. This is the result of a significant portion of the interest-bearing liabilities already having a cost below 1.00%.

Net interest income estimates are summarized below.

	Net Interest Income Change
Increase 200 bp		0.68	%
Increase 100 bp		0.24
Decrease 100 bp		(3.63	)

Tables 2 and 3 set forth certain information relating to the Bank’s average balance sheet information and reflects the average yield on interest-earning assets, on a tax equivalent basis, and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. Average balances are daily averages for the Bank and include non-accruing loans in the loan portfolio, net of the allowance for loan losses.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

Like many other financial institutions, the Bank has been significantly affected by the most recent national economic recession and the continued challenging economic environment. While the Bank experienced an increase in defaults and foreclosures since the recession began, the levels of such activity has been significantly less than other regions in the country due, in part, to the fact that the Bank’s market in the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati area did not experience as dramatic a rise in real estate values over the years preceding this recession, as other markets had.

Management believes that with the continuing economic uncertainty, high unemployment rates and low real estate values, the resulting pressure on earnings will remain above historical levels.

While the economic conditions continue to be challenging, the provision for loan losses reflected the improving economy. While still above historical levels, the credit metrics showed significant improvement in 2014 compared with 2013. Management believes that loan growth experienced in 2014 is consistent with the slowly improving economic conditions, and management anticipates growing demand for loans in the coming quarters.

Provision for loan losses decreased $600,000 in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 while the year to date total decreased $1,700,000 (47%) from $3,600,000 in 2013 to $1,900,000 in 2013. The decrease in the provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2014 reflected significantly lower levels of charged-off loans in the second quarter of 2014 versus the second quarter of 2013. For the second quarter of 2014, net charge-offs were $1,015,000 or .32% of average loan balances compared to 2013 figures of $1,591,000 or .54% of average loan balances. The second quarter of 2014 saw an increase in levels of non-performing loans compared with December 31, 2013. As illustrated in Table 6 below, total non-accrual loans plus loans past due 90 days or more were $17,408,000 (1.37% of loans outstanding) at June 30, 2014, compared to $15,438,000 (1.24% of loans outstanding) at December 31, 2013. Impacting the second quarter’s non-performing totals was a $2,900,000 commercial relationship placed on non-accrual status during the quarter. Management’s evaluation of the inherent risk in the loan portfolio considers both historical losses and information regarding specific borrowers. Management continues to monitor the non-performing relationships and has established appropriate reserves.

On a sequential quarterly basis, the provision for loan losses of $1,000,000 in the second quarter of 2014 was $100,000 higher than the provision in the first quarter of 2014. Net charge-offs on a sequential basis increased from $857,000 (.27% of loans) in the first quarter of 2014 to $1,015,000 (.32% of loans) in the second quarter of 2014. The second quarter charge-offs included $500,000 for the above referenced commercial relationship added to non-accrual in the quarter.

The provision for loan losses by portfolio segment for the second quarter of 2014, included in Note 8 of the financial statements, included the effects of lower specific reserves in the residential real estate portfolio and commercial portfolio, compared with the first quarter of 2014 which were offset by the effects of higher levels of non-specific reserves in the construction portfolio compared to the same period. Contributing to the increase in non-specific reserves in the construction portfolio was the risk downgrade of one relationship.

The aggregate amounts of the Bank’s classified assets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows:

	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
	(Dollars in thousands)
Special mention (risk rating 6)	$	27,472	$	27,589
Substandard (risk rating 7 & 8)		54,579		56,027
Doubtful (risk rating 9)		0		0

Total classified assets	$	82,051	$	83,616

Non-performing assets, which include non-performing loans, other real estate owned (“OREO”) and repossessed assets, totaled $22,339,000 at June 30, 2014 versus $20,743,000 at December 31, 2013. This represents 1.21% of total assets at June 30, 2014 compared to 1.12% at December 31, 2013. While non-performing loans increased, as discussed above, OREO balances decreased from December 31, 2013 to the second quarter of 2014. OREO balances decreased $374,000 (7%) from $5,305,000 at December 31, 2013 to $4,931,000 at June 30, 2014. These properties are initially recorded at their fair value less estimated costs to sell with the difference between this value and the loan balance being recorded as a charge-off.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs). In certain circumstances, the Bank may modify the terms of a loan to maximize the collection of amounts due. In cases where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties or is expected to experience difficulties in the near-term, concessionary modification is granted to minimize or eliminate the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. Modifications may include interest rate reductions, extension of the maturity date or a reduction in the principal balance. Restructured loans accrue interest as long as the borrower complies with the modified terms. Performing TDRs are loans that are paying pursuant to the agreed upon modified terms and are not more than 30 days past due. Non-performing TDRs are the remainder. Total performing TDRs, which are not considered non-performing loans by management, were $8,154,000 at June 30, 2014 as compared to $8,816,000 at December 31, 2013. Total nonperforming TDRs were $11,088,000 at June 30, 2014 as compared to $8,246,000 at December 31, 2013. In order to proactively manage and resolve problem loans, the Bank expects higher than normal levels of TDRs as it continues to work with relationships that show signs of stress. All TDRs are considered impaired loans and any specific reserves related to the TDRs are included in the allowance for loan losses on the balance sheet. Any additional specific reserves related to TDRs added or reduced in a period would be reflected in the provision for loan losses on the income statement for that period. Ordinarily, loans are identified as potential problem loans, through a higher risk weighting, before actually being restructured.

Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALL”). The ALL was relatively stable as the impact of higher levels of specific loan reserves was offset by lower historic loss ratios. Management believes this is directionally consistent in the first six months of 2014 with the change in the credit metrics and the continued uncertain economic conditions experienced since December 31, 2013. The ALL increased $28,000 from $16,306,000 at December 31, 2013 to $16,334,000 at June 30, 2014. The increase in loans outstanding in the first six months of 2014 lowered the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans from 1.30% at December 31, 2013 to 1.28% at June 30, 2014. The amount of the allowance allocated to impaired loans at the end of the second quarter of 2014 was $3,719,000, which was up $300,000 from $3,419,000 at December 31, 2013. The impairment process is described in the “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section of this Quarterly Report. Management believes the current level of the ALL is sufficient to absorb probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. Management continues to monitor the loan portfolio closely and believes the provision for loan losses is directionally consistent with the changes in the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio from the year end of 2013 to June 30, 2014. The Bank does not originate or purchase sub-prime loans for its portfolio. Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effects of the current housing market conditions and any signs of further deterioration in credit quality on the Bank’s loan portfolio.

Monitoring loan quality and maintaining an adequate allowance is an ongoing process overseen by senior management and the loan review function. On at least a quarterly basis, a formal analysis of the adequacy of the ALL is prepared and reviewed by management and the Board of Directors. This analysis serves as a point in time assessment of the level of the ALL and serves as a basis for provisions for loan losses. The loan quality monitoring process includes assigning loan grades and the use of a watch list to identify loans of concern.

The following tables set forth an analysis of certain credit risk information for the periods indicated:

Total non-interest income	$	6,294		$	5,840		$	11,876		$	11,702

As illustrated in Table 7, total non-interest income increased $174,000 (1%) from $11,702,000 for the first six months of 2013 to $11,876,000 for the first six months of 2014. For the second quarter of 2014, non-interest income increased $454,000 (8%) to $6,294,000 from $5,840,000 for the same period in 2013. Contributing to the increase in non-interest income was a $305,000 (100%) increase in net securities gains and a $134,000 (16%) increase in Trust fee income, which were partially offset by a $424,000 (63%) decrease in mortgage banking income. Other non-interest income included $443,000 in fees from the sales of insurance annuity products, which was $250,000 higher than 2013. The decrease in mortgage banking income was the result of lower refinancing volume due to slightly higher long term rates compared with 2013. In the second quarter of 2014, the Bank also took advantage of the low interest rate environment to sell approximately $5,028,000 of available-for-sale mortgage backed securities for a $305,000 gain. The Bank’s available-for-sale security portfolio is made up of high quality government sponsored agency bonds which are implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and therefore their credit quality was not negatively affected by the economic recession.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Total non-interest expense	$	12,148	$	11,665	$	24,266	$	23,434

As illustrated in Table 8 above, non-interest expense increased to $24,266,000 in the first six months of 2014, from $23,434,000 in the same period of 2013, an increase of $832,000 (4%). For the second quarter of 2014, non-interest expense increased $483,000 (4%) to $12,148,000 compared to $11,665,000 for the same period in 2013. The largest increase in non-interest expense was FDIC insurance expense which increased $260,000 or 78% from the second quarter of 2013. The increase in FDIC insurance was the result of an insurance rate increase for the Bank.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

During the first six months of 2014, income tax expense increased $493,000 (15%) from $3,384,000 in the first six months of 2013 to $3,877,000 in the same period of 2014 as a result of higher earnings. During the second quarter of 2014, income tax expense increased $264,000 (15%) from $1,798,000 in the second quarter of 2013 to $2,062,000 in the same period of 2014 as a result of higher earnings. For the second quarter of 2014, the effective tax rate increased to 28.93% compared to 28.62% for the same period of 2013. The effective tax rate increased to 28.59% for the first six months of 2014 compared to 28.30% for the same period in 2013.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Bank achieves liquidity by maintaining an appropriate balance between its sources and uses of funds to assure that sufficient funds are available to meet loan demands and deposit fluctuations. As indicated on the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents have decreased $4,174,000, from $78,621,000 at December 31, 2013 to $74,447,000 at June 30, 2014.

The Company’s total shareholders’ equity increased $11,124,000 from $181,139,000 at December 31, 2013 to $192,263,000 at June 30, 2014. In the first six months of 2014, the Company paid a cash dividend of $.36 per share totaling $2,760,000 to common shareholders. The change in the shareholders’ equity in 2014 included a $2,778,000 increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, which was the result of the increase in the market value of the available-for-sale securities. The market value of these securities increased as a result of the decrease in long term interest rates since December 31, 2013. The after tax market value of these securities changed from an unrealized loss at December 31, 2013 of $1,777,000 to an unrealized gain of $1,541,000 at June 30, 2014.

The Company’s liquidity depends primarily on the dividends paid to it as the sole shareholder of the Bank and the Company’s cash on hand. The Company needs liquidity to meet its financial obligations under certain subordinated debentures issued by the Company in connection with the issuance of trust preferred securities issued by the Company’s unconsolidated subsidiary, for the other notes payable and for the payment of dividends to common shareholders and for general operating expenses. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the FDIC have legal requirements, which provide that insured banks and bank holding companies should generally only pay dividends out of current operating earnings. The FDIC prohibits the payment of any dividend by a bank that would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. Compliance with the minimum capital requirements limits the amounts that the Company and the Bank can pay as dividends. At June 30, 2014, the Bank had capital in excess of the FDIC’s most restrictive minimum capital requirements in an amount over $56,288,000 from which dividends could be paid, subject to the FDIC’s general safety and soundness review and state banking regulations.

For purposes of determining a bank’s deposit insurance assessment, the FDIC has issued regulations that define a "well capitalized" bank as one with a leverage ratio of 5% or more and a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or more. At June 30, 2014, the Bank's leverage and total risk-based capital ratios were 10.11% and 13.62%, respectively, which exceed the well-capitalized thresholds.

As described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, in July 2013, U.S. federal banking authorities approved final capital rules that revise risk-based and leverage capital requirements that will apply to BKFC and the Bank once fully implemented.

Based on our current capital composition and levels, we believe that we would be in compliance with the requirements as set forth in the Final Capital Rules if they were presently in effect.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
