PART I

Item 1. Business

Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (the "Corporation") is a bank holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Our Corporation was incorporated August 12, 1980, under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky for the purpose of becoming a bank holding company. At December 31, 2006, our Corporation owned all the capital stock of one commercial bank and one trust company, serving small and mid-sized communities in eastern, northeastern, central, and south central Kentucky and southern West Virginia. The commercial bank is Community Trust Bank, Inc., Pikeville, Kentucky (the "Bank") and the trust company is Community Trust and Investment Company, Lexington, Kentucky (the "Trust Company"). At December 31, 2006, our Corporation had total consolidated assets of $3.0 billion and total consolidated deposits, including repurchase agreements, of $2.5 billion, making it the second largest bank holding company headquartered in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Effective January 1, 2003, our Bank and Trust Company converted their charters to state charters from national associations. Our Bank remained a member of the Federal Reserve System following conversion. Following its conversion, our Trust Company changed its name from Trust Company of Kentucky, National Association to Community Trust and Investment Company in order to identify more closely our Trust Company with our Bank. While the conversions resulted in some reduction in expenses, they did not result in any changes in the management or operations of our Bank or our Trust Company.

On June 10, 2005, our Bank completed the acquisition of Heritage Community Bank of Danville, Kentucky. All former Heritage Community Bank offices now operate as branch offices of Community Trust Bank, Inc. Our Corporation obtained loans totaling approximately $73.7 million, cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8.1 million, and deposits totaling approximately $69.8 million from this acquisition. The total cost of the acquisition, including direct acquisition costs, was $12.4 million. Goodwill and core deposit intangible of approximately $5.5 million was recorded. Pro forma information has not been presented since the impact of the acquisition is not significant to the consolidated financial statements.

Through its subsidiaries, our Corporation engages in a wide range of commercial and personal banking and trust activities, which include accepting time and demand deposits; making secured and unsecured loans to corporations, individuals and others; providing cash management services to corporate and individual customers; issuing letters of credit; renting safe deposit boxes; and providing funds transfer services. The lending activities of our Bank include making commercial, construction, mortgage, and personal loans. Also available are lease-financing, lines of credit, revolving lines of credit, term loans, and other specialized loans including asset-based financing. Our corporate subsidiaries act as trustees of personal trusts, as executors of estates, as trustees for employee benefit trusts, as registrars, transfer agents, and paying agents for bond and stock issues, as depositories for securities, and as providers of full service brokerage services.

COMPETITION

Our Corporation’s subsidiaries face substantial competition for deposit, credit, and trust relationships, as well as other sources of funding in the communities we serve. Competing providers include state banks, national banks, thrifts, trust companies, insurance companies, mortgage banking operations, credit unions, finance companies, brokerage companies, and other financial and non-financial companies which may offer products functionally equivalent to those offered by our subsidiaries. Many of these providers offer services within and outside the market areas served by our subsidiaries. We strive to offer competitively priced products along with quality customer service to build customer relationships in the communities we serve.

Since July 1989, banking legislation in Kentucky places no limits on the number of banks or bank holding companies that a bank holding company may acquire. Interstate acquisitions are allowed where reciprocity exists between the laws of Kentucky and the home state of the bank or bank holding company to be acquired. Bank holding companies continue to be limited to control of less than 15% of deposits held by banks in the states where they do business (exclusive of inter-bank and foreign deposits).

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the "GLB Act") has expanded the permissible activities of a bank holding company. The GLB Act allows qualifying bank holding companies to elect to be treated as financial holding companies. A financial holding company may engage in activities that are financial in nature or are incidental or complementary to financial activities. We have not yet elected to be treated as a financial holding company. The GLB Act also eliminated restrictions imposed by the Glass-Steagall Financial Services Law, adopted in the 1930s, which prevented banking, insurance, and securities firms from fully entering each other’s business. This legislation has resulted in further consolidation in the financial services industry. In addition, removal of these restrictions has increased the number of entities providing banking services and thereby created additional competition.

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

We do not engage in any operations in foreign countries.

EMPLOYEES
 
As of December 31, 2006, our Corporation and subsidiaries had 1,021 full-time equivalent employees. Our employees are provided with a variety of employee benefits. A retirement plan, an employee stock ownership plan, group life insurance, major medical insurance, a cafeteria plan, and annual management and employee incentive compensation plans are available to eligible personnel.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

We, as a registered bank holding company, are restricted to those activities permissible under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and are subject to actions of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System thereunder. We are required to file an annual report with the Federal Reserve Board and are subject to an annual examination by the Board.

Our Bank is a state-chartered bank subject to state and federal banking laws and regulations and periodic examination by the Kentucky Office of Financial Institutions and the restrictions, including dividend restrictions, thereunder. Our Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve System and is subject to certain restrictions imposed by and to examination and supervision under the Federal Reserve Act. Our Trust Company is also regulated by the Kentucky Office of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve.

Deposits of our Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which subjects banks to regulation and examination under the provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.

The operations of our Corporation and its subsidiaries also are affected by other banking legislation and policies and practices of various regulatory authorities. Such legislation and policies include statutory maximum rates on some loans, reserve requirements, domestic monetary and fiscal policy, and limitations on the kinds of services that may be offered.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
 
Certain of the statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. The Corporation’s actual results may differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "may increase," "may fluctuate," and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "should," "would," and "could." These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, economic conditions, portfolio growth, the credit performance of the portfolios, including bankruptcies, and seasonal factors; changes in general economic conditions including the performance of financial markets, prevailing inflation and interest rates, realized gains from sales of investments, gains from asset sales, and losses on commercial lending activities; results of various investment activities; the effects of competitors’ pricing policies, changes in laws and regulations, competition, and demographic changes on target market populations’ savings and financial planning needs; industry changes in information technology systems on which we are highly dependent; failure of acquisitions to produce revenue enhancements or cost savings at levels or within the time frames originally anticipated or unforeseen integration difficulties; the adoption by the Corporation of a Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) policy that provides guidance on the reporting of delinquent consumer loans and the timing of associated credit charge-offs for financial institution subsidiaries; and the resolution of legal proceedings and related matters. In addition, the banking industry in general is subject to various monetary and fiscal policies and regulations, which include those determined by the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and state regulators, whose policies and regulations could affect the Corporation’s results. These statements are representative only on the date hereof, and the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Interest Rate Risk
Changes in interest rates could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition.

Our earnings and financial condition are dependent to a large degree upon net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned from loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The narrowing of interest-rate spreads, meaning the difference between the interest rates earned on loans and investments and the interest rates paid on deposits and borrowings, could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including:
·  
The rate of inflation;
·  
The rate of economic growth;
·  
Employment levels;
·  
Monetary policies; and
·  
Instability in domestic and foreign financial markets.

Changes in market interest rates will also affect the level of voluntary prepayments on our loans and the receipt of payments on our mortgage-backed securities resulting in the receipt of proceeds that may be reinvested at a lower rate than the loan or mortgage-backed security being prepaid.

We originate residential loans for sale and for our portfolio. The origination of loans for sale is designed to meet client financing needs and earn fee income. The origination of loans for sale is highly dependent upon the local real estate market and the level and trend of interest rates. Increasing interest rates may reduce the origination of loans for sale and consequently the fee income we earn. While our commercial banking, construction, and income property business lines remain a significant portion of our activities, high interest rates may reduce our mortgage-banking activities and thereby our income. In contrast, decreasing interest rates have the effect of causing clients to refinance mortgage loans faster than anticipated. This causes the value of assets related to the servicing rights on loans sold to be lower than originally anticipated. If this happens, we may need to write down our servicing assets faster, which would accelerate our expense and lower our earnings.

We consider interest rate risk one of our most significant market risks. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates. Consistency of our net interest revenue is largely dependent upon the effective management of interest rate risk. We employ a variety of measurement techniques to identify and manage our interest rate risk including the use of an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to changing interest rates. The model is based on actual cash flows and repricing characteristics for on and off-balance sheet instruments and incorporates market-based assumptions regarding the effect of changing interest rates on the prepayment rates of certain assets and liabilities. Assumptions based on the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates are also incorporated into the model. These assumptions are inherently uncertain, and as a result, the model cannot precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies.

Government Policies
Our business may be adversely affected by changes in government policies.

The earnings of banks and bank holding companies such as ours are affected by the policies of regulatory authorities, including the Federal Reserve Board, which regulates the money supply. Among the methods employed by the Federal Reserve Board are open market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits. These methods are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and their use may also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial and savings banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future.

The banking industry is highly regulated and changes in federal and state banking regulations as well as policies and administration guidelines may affect our practices, growth prospects, and earnings.

Credit Risk
Our earnings and reputation may be adversely affected if we fail to effectively manage our credit risk.

Originating and underwriting loans are integral to the success of our business. This business requires us to take “credit risk,” which is the risk of losing principal and interest income because borrowers fail to repay loans. Collateral values and the ability of borrowers to repay their loans may be affected at any time by factors such as:
·  
A downturn in the local economies in which we operate or the national economy;
·  
A downturn in one or more of the business sectors in which our customers operate; or
·  
A rapid increase in interest rates.

Competition
Strong competition within our market area may reduce our ability to attract and retain deposits and originate loans.

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

Economy
Our business may be adversely affected by downturns in the local economies on which we depend.

Our loan portfolio is concentrated primarily in eastern, northeastern, central, and south central Kentucky and southern West Virginia. Our profits depend on providing products and services to clients in these local regions. An increase in unemployment, a decrease in real estate values, or continued increases in interest rates could weaken the local economies in which we operate. Weakness in our market area could depress our earnings and consequently our financial condition because:
·  
Clients may not want or need our products and services;
·  
Borrowers may not be able to repay their loans;
·  
The value of the collateral securing our loans to borrowers may decline; and
·  
The quality of our loan portfolio may decline.

Acquisition Risk
We may have difficulty in the future continuing to grow through acquisitions.

Due to the consolidation within the banking industry, the number of suitable acquisition targets has decreased and there is intense competition for attractive acquisitions. As a result, we may experience difficulty in making acquisitions on acceptable terms.

Any future acquisitions or mergers by the Corporation or its banking subsidiary are subject to approval by the appropriate federal and state banking regulators. The banking regulators evaluate a number of criteria in making their approval decisions, such as:
·  
Safety and soundness guidelines;
·  
Compliance with all laws including the USA Patriot Act of 2001, the International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations promulgated under such Act or the Exchange Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Community Reinvestment Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, and all other applicable fair lending laws and other laws relating to discriminatory business practices; and
·  
Anti-competitive concerns with the proposed transaction.

If the banking regulators or a commenter on our regulatory application raise concerns about any of these criteria at the time a regulatory application is filed, the banking regulators may deny, delay, or condition their approval of a proposed transaction.
 
5



We have grown, and intend to continue to grow, through acquisitions of banks and other financial institutions. After these acquisitions, we may experience adverse changes in results of operations of acquired entities, unforeseen liabilities, asset quality problems of acquired entities, loss of key personnel, loss of clients because of change of identity, difficulties in integrating data processing and operational procedures, and deterioration in local economic conditions. These various acquisition risks can be heightened in larger transactions.

Integration Risk
We may not be able to achieve the expected integration and cost savings from our ongoing bank acquisition activities.

We have a long history of acquiring financial institutions and we expect this acquisition activity to continue in the future. Difficulties may arise in the integration of the business and operations of the financial institutions that agree to merge with and into the Corporation and, as a result, we may not be able to achieve the cost savings and synergies that we expect will result from the merger activities. Achieving cost savings is dependent on consolidating certain operational and functional areas, eliminating duplicative positions and terminating certain agreements for outside services. Additional operational savings are dependent upon the integration of the banking businesses of the acquired financial institution with that of the Corporation, including the conversion of the acquired entity’s core operating systems, data systems and products to those of the Corporation and the standardization of business practices. Complications or difficulties in the conversion of the core operating systems, data systems, and products of these other banks to those of the Corporation may result in the loss of clients, damage to our reputation within the financial services industry, operational problems, one-time costs currently not anticipated by us, and/or reduced cost savings resulting from the merger activities.

Operational Risk
An extended disruption of vital infrastructure or a security breach could negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our operations depend upon, among other things, our infrastructure, including equipment and facilities. Extended disruption of vital infrastructure by fire, power loss, natural disaster, telecommunications failure, computer hacking or viruses, terrorist activity or the domestic and foreign response to such activity, or other events outside of our control could have a material adverse impact on the financial services industry as a whole and on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition in particular. Our business recovery plan may not work as intended or may not prevent significant interruption of our operations. The occurrence of any failures, interruptions, or security breaches of our information systems could damage our reputation, result in the loss of customer business, subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose us to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.

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

Our stock price has been volatile in the past, and several factors could cause the price to fluctuate substantially in the future. These factors include:
·  
Actual or anticipated variations in earnings;
·  
Changes in analysts' recommendations or projections;
·  
The Corporation's announcements of developments related to our businesses;
·  
Operating and stock performance of other companies deemed to be peers;
·  
New technology used or services offered by traditional and non-traditional competitors; and
·  
News reports of trends, concerns, and other issues related to the financial services industry.

6


Our stock price may fluctuate significantly in the future, and these fluctuations may be unrelated to the Corporation's performance. General market price declines or market volatility in the future could adversely affect the price of our common stock, and the current market price may not be indicative of future market prices.

The calculations of the weighted average interest rates for each maturity category are based upon yield weighted by the respective costs of the securities. The weighted average rates on state and political subdivisions are computed on a taxable equivalent basis using a 35% tax rate. For purposes of the above presentation, maturities of mortgage-backed pass through certificates and collateralized mortgage obligations are based on estimated maturities.

Excluding those holdings of the investment portfolio in U.S. Treasury securities and other agencies of the U.S. Government, there were no securities of any one issuer that exceeded 10% of our shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2006.

The book values of securities available-for-sale and securities held-to-maturity as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 are presented in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

The book value of securities at December 31, 2004 is presented below:

In 2006, gross interest income that would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans had the loans been current in accordance with their original terms amounted to $1.0 million. Interest income actually received and included in net income for the period was $0.2 million, leaving $0.8 million of interest income not recognized during the period.
 
12


Discussion of the Nonaccrual Policy

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

Potential Problem Loans

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

Foreign Outstandings

None

Loan Concentrations

We had no concentration of loans exceeding 10% of total loans at December 31, 2006. See note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.

The allowance for loan and lease losses balance is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover anticipated probable losses based on past loss experience, general economic conditions, information about specific borrower situations including their financial position and collateral values, and other factors and estimates which are subject to change over time. This analysis is completed quarterly and forms the basis for allocation of the loan loss reserve and what charges to the provision may be required. See note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.

Dividends

The annual dividend paid to our stockholders was increased from $0.98 per share to $1.05 per share during 2006. We have adopted a conservative policy of cash dividends by maintaining an average annual cash dividend ratio of less than 45%, with periodic stock dividends. Dividends are typically paid on a quarterly basis. Future dividends are subject to the discretion of our Corporation’s Board of Directors, cash needs, general business conditions, dividends from our subsidiaries, and applicable governmental regulations and policies. For information concerning restrictions on dividends from the subsidiary bank to the Corporation, see note 20 to the consolidated financial statements included herein for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Stock Repurchases

We did not acquire any shares of stock through the stock repurchase program during the years 2005 and 2006. The maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under the program is 578,519.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. reported record earnings for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $39.1 million or $2.59 per basic share. Our basic earnings per share for the year 2006 increased 12.1% compared to 2005 while our net income increased 13.5%. The increase in net income was primarily driven by a $4.6 million increase in our net interest revenue and a $4.0 million decrease in provision for loan losses.

Our year-to-date net interest margin remained flat from prior year at 4.02%. As anticipated, when interest rates stabilized in the latter part of the year, we experienced margin pressure which is reflected in the decrease in the fourth quarter net interest margin of 18 basis points from prior year and 14 basis points from prior quarter.

Our total assets at December 31, 2006 increased 4.2% over December 31, 2005. Asset growth during 2006 was all organic and included the reduction of $40 million in the investment portfolio during the third quarter resulting from the payoff of a maturing Federal Home Loan Bank advance. Our loan portfolio grew at a rate of 2.9%, while deposits, including repurchase agreements, grew 5.3% from prior year end. The deposit growth in excess of loan growth was invested in our investment portfolio and federal funds sold. Federal funds sold almost doubled year over year with an increase of $31.0 million, while the investment portfolio increased 5.0% or $22.3 million year over year.

Shareholders’ equity of $282.4 million on December 31, 2006 was an 11.2% increase from the $253.9 million on December 31, 2005.

Asset quality continues to improve as evidenced by nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans at December 31, 2006 of 0.66%, a 36 basis point decrease from December 31, 2005. As a result of the improvement in credit quality trends, provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2006 decreased to $4.3 million compared to $8.3 million for the same period last year.

Return on average assets for the year 2006 was 1.33%, a 9.0% increase from prior year. Our return on average shareholders' equity for the year 2006 of 14.51% reflects a 53 basis point or 3.8% increase from the year 2005.

Our efficiency ratio for the year ended December 31, 2006 improved 16 basis points to 56.67% compared to 56.83% for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Trust Preferred Redemption

On January 24, 2007, we announced that our Board of Directors has authorized the redemption of all outstanding trust preferred securities at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of each security plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption. Approximately $59.5 million principal amount of trust preferred securities are currently outstanding, of which $34.5 million principal amount was issued in 1997 and $25 million principal amount was issued in 2002. The trust preferred securities are expected to be redeemed effective March 31, 2007, by the related trusts. We expect to incur a pre-tax charge from the unamortized debt issuance costs of approximately $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2007 as a result of the redemption of the debentures and trust preferred securities.

The redemption of the trust preferred securities is being made in connection with the concurrent redemption by the Corporation of all of our outstanding 9.0% Subordinated Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $36 million and 8.25% Subordinated Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $26 million. We expect to fund the redemption with the proceeds of a private placement of pooled trust preferred securities.

The new trust preferred securities are expected to have a fixed interest rate for five years and a floating rate of interest at a spread above the three-month LIBOR rate thereafter. The new trust preferred securities will have a 30-year term, but will be redeemable beginning five years from the date of issuance.

We estimate that the combined effect of the redemption of the debentures and trust preferred securities will reduce our interest expense by approximately $1.0 million in 2007 and $1.4 million annually through 2011. After giving effect to the redemption and issuance of new trust preferred securities, the Company’s capital ratios will remain unchanged.

As of December 31, 2006, we are not aware of any current recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material adverse impact on the Corporation’s liquidity, capital resources, or operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, many of which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty, the actual results will inevitably differ from our estimates. Such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.

We believe the application of accounting policies and the estimates required therein are reasonable. These accounting policies and estimates are constantly reevaluated, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change. Historically, we have found our application of accounting policies to be appropriate, and actual results have not differed materially from those determined using necessary estimates.

Our accounting policies are more fully described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

24


Loans - Loans with the ability and the intent to be held until maturity and/or payoff are reported at the carrying value of unpaid principal reduced by unearned interest and an allowance for loan and lease losses. Income is recorded on the level yield basis. Interest accrual is discontinued when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions, collateral value, and collection efforts, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Any loan greater than 90 days past due must be well secured and in the process of collection to continue accruing interest. Cash payments received on nonaccrual loans generally are applied against principal, and interest income is only recorded once principal recovery is reasonably assured. Loans are not reclassified as accruing until principal and interest payments are brought current and future payments appear reasonably certain.

Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized over the estimated life of the related loans, leases, or commitments as a yield adjustment.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses - We maintain an allowance for loan and lease losses ("ALLL") at a level that is appropriate to cover estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans determined to be impaired, as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan and lease portfolio. Since arriving at an appropriate ALLL involves a high degree of management judgment, we use an ongoing quarterly analysis to develop a range of estimated losses. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we use our best estimate within the range of potential credit loss to determine the appropriate ALLL. Credit losses are charged and recoveries are credited to the ALLL.

We utilize an internal risk grading system for commercial credits. Those larger commercial credits that exhibit probable or observed credit weaknesses are subject to individual review. The borrower’s cash flow, adequacy of collateral coverage, and other options available to the Corporation, including legal remedies, are evaluated. The review of individual loans includes those loans that are impaired as provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. We evaluate the collectibility of both principal and interest when assessing the need for loss provision. Historical loss rates are applied to other commercial loans not subject to specific allocations. The loss rates are determined from a migration analysis which computes the net charge off experience on loans according to their internal risk grade.

Homogenous loans, such as consumer installment, residential mortgages, and home equity lines are not individually risk graded. The associated ALLL for these loans is measured under SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The ALLL allocation for these pools of loans is established based on the average, maximum, minimum, and median loss ratios over the previous eight quarters.

Historical loss rates for commercial and retail loans are adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, reflect the impact of any current conditions on loss recognition. Factors that we consider include delinquency trends, current economic conditions and trends, strength of supervision and administration of the loan portfolio, levels of underperforming loans, level of recoveries to prior year's charge offs, trend in loan losses, industry concentrations and their relative strengths, amount of unsecured loans and underwriting exceptions. These factors are reviewed quarterly and a weighted range developed with a "most likely" scenario determined. The total of these weighted factors is then applied against the total portfolio and the ALLL is adjusted accordingly.

Loans Held for Sale - Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized in a valuation allowance by charges to income.

Premises and Equipment - Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Capital leases are included in premises and equipment at the capitalized amount less accumulated amortization. Premises and equipment are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis.
 
25
 


Depreciation and amortization are computed primarily using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range up to 40 years for buildings, 2 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and up to the lease term for leasehold improvements. Capitalized leased assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the respective leases.
 
Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible - We evaluate total goodwill and core deposit intangible for impairment, based upon SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and SFAS No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, using fair value techniques including multiples of price/equity. Goodwill and core deposit intangible are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or as other events may warrant.

Amortization of core deposit intangible is estimated at approximately $0.6 million annually for the next four years and approximately $0.3 million in year five.

  Income Taxes - Income tax expense is based on the taxes due on the consolidated tax return plus deferred taxes based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates.

Earnings Per Share ("EPS") - Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Diluted EPS adjusts the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding by the dilutive effect of stock options as prescribed in SFAS No. 123R which is discussed in the New Accounting Standards section below.

Segments - Management analyzes the operation of the Corporation assuming one operating segment, community banking services. The Corporation, through its operating subsidiaries, offers a wide range of consumer and commercial community banking services. These services include: (i) residential and commercial real estate loans; (ii) checking accounts; (iii) regular and term savings accounts and savings certificates; (iv) full service securities brokerage services; (v) consumer loans; (vi) debit cards; (vii) annuity and life insurance products; (viii) Individual Retirement Accounts and Keogh plans; (ix) commercial loans; (x) trust services; and (xi) commercial demand deposit accounts.

Bank Owned Life Insurance - The Corporation's bank owned life insurance policies are carried at their cash surrender value. We recognize tax-free income from the periodic increases in cash surrender value of these policies and from death benefits.

New Accounting Standards -

Ø  Stock-Based Employee Compensation - In December 2004, SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, was issued. SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123R requires the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements, and establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin Number 107 that provided additional guidance to public companies relating to share-based payment transactions and the implementation of SFAS 123R. Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified retrospective application basis in accounting for stock-based compensation plans. Under SFAS No. 123R, we recognize compensation expense for the grant-date fair value of stock-based compensation issued over its requisite service period. Awards with a graded vesting are expensed on a straight-line basis. The grant-date fair value of stock options is measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Had compensation cost for the Corporation’s stock options granted in 2005 and 2004 been determined under the fair value approach described in SFAS No. 123R, the Corporation’s net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Ø  Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This statement also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this statement is a two-step process. The first step is a recognition process to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step is a measurement process whereby a tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is calculated to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and the cumulative effect of applying the provisions of this statement will be recognized as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings. The Corporation is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements.

Ø  Financial Statements—Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements - In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 108, Financial Statements—Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. This SAB provides guidance on the consideration of prior year misstatements in determining whether the current year's financial statements are materially misstated. In providing this guidance, the SEC staff references both the "iron curtain" and "rollover" approaches to quantifying a current year misstatement for purposes of determining materiality. The iron curtain approach focuses on how the current year's balance sheet would be affected in correcting misstatements without considering the year in which the misstatement originated. The rollover approach focuses on the amount of the misstatements that originated in the current year's income statement. The SEC staff indicates that registrants should quantify the impact of correcting all misstatements, including both the carryover and reversing effects of prior year misstatements, on the current year financial statements. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. Registrants may either restate their financials for any material misstatements arising from the application of this SAB or recognize a cumulative effect of applying SAB 108 within the current year opening balance in retained earnings. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

2006 Compared to 2005

As mentioned earlier, net income increased 13.5% over prior year while our basic earnings per share increased 12.1%. The increase in net income was primarily driven by a $4.6 million increase in our net interest revenue and a $4.0 million decrease in provision for loan losses. See below for further information. Our average shares outstanding increased from 14.9 million in 2005 to 15.1 million in 2006.

Net Interest Income:

Our year over year net interest margin remained flat at 4.02%. As rates stabilized in the latter part of the year, the margin compressed as expected. Our net interest margin for the fourth quarter 2006 was 3.94% compared to 4.12% for the fourth quarter 2005 and 4.08% for the third quarter 2006.

Year-to-date net interest income increased 4.4% from the year ended December 31, 2005. Interest income increased $29.0 million or 18.1% while interest expense increased $24.4 million or 42.8%. Average earning assets for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased $116.0 million or 4.5% over 2005. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $86.5 million or 4.1% over prior year. The taxable equivalent yield on average earning assets for the year 2006 increased 80 basis points from prior year to 7.02% while the cost of interest of interest bearing liabilities increased 100 basis points to 3.68%. The cost of interest bearing liabilities has been impacted by the change in deposit mix as well as by a change in market rates. Average interest bearing deposits including repurchase agreements increased 6.4% during 2006 while average noninterest bearing deposits decreased 5.2%. Average loans accounted for 78.5% of average earning assets in 2006 and 77.9% in 2005.

Provision for Loan Losses and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses:

The provision for loan losses that was added to the allowance was $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $8.3 million for 2005. This provision represents a charge against current earnings in order to maintain the allowance at an appropriate level determined using the accounting estimates described in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section. Loan losses, net of recoveries, for the year decreased 16.8% from $7.6 million, or 0.4% of average loans, to $6.3 million, or 0.3% of average loans. Reflective of the improvement in asset quality, our reserve for losses on loans as a percentage of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2006 decreased to 1.27% from the 1.40% at December 31, 2005.

Nonperforming loans at December 31, 2006 were $14.2 million, a 33.5% decrease from $21.4 million at December 31, 2005. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans at December 31, 2006 were 0.66%, a 36 basis point decrease from December 31, 2005.

Foreclosed properties at December 31, 2006 were $4.5 million compared to $5.4 million on December 31, 2005.

Noninterest Income:

Year-to-date noninterest income decreased 2.7% to $32.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from the $33.6 million for the same period last year. The following table displays the annual activity in the various significant noninterest income accounts.

The increases in recurring revenue sources year over year 2005 to 2006 in deposit related fees and trust revenue were offset by declines in gains on sales of loans due to the interest rate environment and loan related fees.

Noninterest Expense:

Year-to-date noninterest expense increased 2.3% from $78.6 million to $80.4 million. The most significant components of this increase were a 3.8% increase in personnel expenses due to normal annual salary adjustments and health care costs and a 6.8% increase in occupancy and equipment due to expenditures for new branch locations and technology and communication upgrades to our core operating systems.
 
Our efficiency ratio for the year 2006 improved 16 basis points from 2005 to 56.67%. The deposit (including repurchase agreements) to FTE (full-time equivalent) ratio increased to $2.5 million at December 31, 2006 from $2.4 million at December 31, 2005.

2005 Compared to 2004

Net income for 2005 was $34.4 million compared to $31.0 million in 2004. The increase in net income was primarily driven by a 10.7% increase in net interest income. See the Net Interest Income section below for further information. Basic earnings per share for 2005 were $2.31 compared to $2.09 per basic share for 2004. The average shares outstanding in 2005 and 2004 were 14.9 million and 14.8 million, respectively.

Net interest income for 2005 was $103.0 million compared to $93.1 million in 2004. Noninterest income was $33.6 million compared to $34.1 million in 2004 and noninterest expense was $78.6 million compared to $74.6 million in 2004. See the Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense sections below for further information.

Return on average assets was 1.22% for 2005 and 2004, and return on average equity increased 50 basis points from 13.48% for 2004 to 13.98% for 2005.

Net Interest Income:

Our net interest margin for the year 2005 decreased 4 basis points from 4.06% to 4.02%. However, the net interest margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 of 4.12% was a 15 basis point increase from the quarter ended December 31, 2004 and an increase of 4 basis points from prior quarter. The increase in the net interest margin for the quarter was primarily the result of the increased yield on average earning assets attributable to the reallocation of earning assets from the investment portfolio to the higher yielding loan portfolio. The yield on average earning assets for the fourth quarter 2005 increased 87 basis points from the fourth quarter 2004 and 30 basis points from the third quarter 2005. For further information, see the table titled "Consolidated Average Balance Sheets and Taxable Equivalent Income/Expense and Yields/Rates" in the Selected Statistical Information.

Average earning assets were $2.6 billion for the year 2005 compared to $2.3 billion for 2004. Average interest bearing liabilities were $2.1 billion for the year 2005 compared to $1.9 billion for 2004. Average interest bearing liabilities as a percentage of average earning assets were 81.9% for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 82.0% for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The taxable equivalent yield on average earning assets was 6.22% for 2005 compared to 5.65% in 2004. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities was 2.68% for 2005 compared to 1.94% for 2004. Although the increase in cost of average interest bearing liabilities surpassed the increase in yield on average earning assets by 17 basis points, the net interest margin only decreased 2 basis points because average interest bearing deposits including repurchase agreements increased 7.0% during 2005 while average noninterest bearing deposits increased 11.5%. The yield on interest bearing assets has been impacted by the change in the earning asset mix between the loan portfolio and the investment portfolio as well as by the change in market rates. Average loans accounted for 77.9% of average earning assets in 2005 and 77.7% of average earning assets in 2004.

Provision for Loan Losses and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses:

The provision for loan losses that was added to the allowance was $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $8.6 million for 2004. This provision represents a charge against current earnings in order to maintain the allowance at an appropriate level determined using the accounting estimates described in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section. Loan losses, net of recoveries, as a percentage of average loans outstanding were 0.37% in 2005 compared to 0.35% in 2004 as net loan losses were $7.6 million for 2005 compared to $6.3 million for 2004.

Our reserve for losses on loans as a percentage of total loans outstanding decreased from 1.42% as of December 31, 2004 to 1.40% as of December 31, 2005.

Nonperforming loans at December 31, 2005 were $21.4 million, or 1.0% of total loans, compared to $20.1 million, or 1.1% of total loans at December 31, 2004. Foreclosed properties at December 31, 2005 were $5.4 million compared to $4.8 million on December 31, 2004.

Noninterest Income:

Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2005 decreased 1.3% from prior year. The following table displays the annual activity in the various significant noninterest income accounts.

Noninterest Expense:

Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased 5.3% to $78.6 million from the $74.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase in noninterest expense from prior year was primarily attributable to an increase of $3.0 million in personnel expense due to normal salary increases, the filling of budgeted key positions, the Danville bank acquisition, and new branch openings. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $1.3 million from 2004 to 2005 also as a result of the Danville bank acquisition and new branch openings during the year.

The efficiency ratio for the year ended December 31, 2005 improved to 56.83% from the 58.25% for the year ended December 31, 2004. The deposit (including repurchase agreements) to FTE (full-time equivalent) ratio increased to $2.4 million at December 31, 2005 from $2.3 million at December 31, 2004.

Liquidity and Market Risk

The objective of the Corporation’s Asset/Liability management function is to maintain consistent growth in net interest income within our policy limits. This objective is accomplished through management of our consolidated balance sheet composition, liquidity, and interest rate risk exposures arising from changing economic conditions, interest rates, and customer preferences. The goal of liquidity management is to provide adequate funds to meet changes in loan and lease demand or unexpected deposit withdrawals. This is accomplished by maintaining liquid assets in the form of cash and cash equivalents and investment securities, maintaining sufficient unused borrowing capacity, and growth in core deposits. As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately $157.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $425.9 million in securities valued at estimated fair value designated as available-for-sale and available to meet liquidity needs on a continuing basis. Additional asset-driven liquidity is provided by the remainder of the securities portfolio and the repayment of loans. In addition to core deposit funding, we also have a variety of other short-term and long-term funding sources available. We also rely on Federal Home Loan Bank advances for both liquidity and management of our asset/liability position. Federal Home Loan Bank advances were $81.2 million at December 31, 2006 compared to $122.8 million at December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2006, we had a $331.1 million available borrowing position with the Federal Home Loan Bank. We generally rely upon net inflows of cash from financing activities, supplemented by net inflows of cash from operating activities, to provide cash for our investing activities. As is typical of many financial institutions, significant financing activities include deposit gathering, use of short-term borrowing facilities such as repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased, and issuance of long-term debt. At December 31, 2006, we had a $12 million revolving line of credit, all of which is currently available to meet any future cash needs. Our primary investing activities include purchases of securities and loan originations. We do not rely on any one source of liquidity and manage availability in response to changing consolidated balance sheet needs.

Stock Repurchase Program

The Corporation’s stock repurchase program began in December 1998 with the authorization to acquire up to 500,000 shares and was increased by an additional 1,000,000 shares in July 2000. The Corporation issued a press release on May 13, 2003 announcing its intention to repurchase up to 1,000,000 additional shares. During the years 2005 and 2006, we did not acquire shares of the Corporation’s stock. As of December 31, 2006, a total of 1,921,481 shares have been repurchased through this program. The following table shows Board authorizations and repurchases made through the stock repurchase program for the years 1998 through 2006:

Interest Rate Risk

We consider interest rate risk one of our most significant market risks. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates. Consistency of our net interest revenue is largely dependent upon the effective management of interest rate risk. We employ a variety of measurement techniques to identify and manage our interest rate risk including the use of an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to changing interest rates. The model is based on actual cash flows and repricing characteristics for on and off-balance sheet instruments and incorporates market-based assumptions regarding the effect of changing interest rates on the prepayment rates of certain assets and liabilities. Assumptions based on the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates are also incorporated into the model. These assumptions are inherently uncertain, and as a result, the model cannot precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies.

The Corporation’s Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO), which includes executive and senior management representatives and reports to the Board of Directors, monitors and manages interest rate risk within Board-approved policy limits. Our current exposure to interest rate risks is determined by measuring the anticipated change in net interest income over a twelve-month period assuming a 200 basis point increase or decrease in rates, spread evenly over the twelve-month period.

The following table shows our estimated earnings sensitivity profile as of December 31, 2006:

Change in Interest Rates
(basis points)
Percentage Change in Net Interest Income
(12 Months)
+200
5.42%

The following table shows the Corporation’s estimated earnings sensitivity profile as of December 31, 2005:

Change in Interest Rates
(basis points)
Percentage Change in Net Interest Income
(12 Months)
+200
5.11%
-200
(5.32)%
 
32


The simulation model used a 200 basis point increase in the yield curve spread evenly over a twelve-month period. The measurement at December 31, 2006 estimates that our net interest income would increase by 5.42% over one year. A 200 basis point immediate and sustained decrease in interest rates would decrease net interest income by 5.52% over one year. In order to reduce the exposure to interest rate fluctuations and to manage liquidity, we have developed sale procedures for several types of interest-sensitive assets. Virtually all long-term, fixed rate single family residential mortgage loans underwritten according to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation guidelines are sold for cash upon origination. Periodically, additional assets such as commercial loans are also sold. In 2006 and 2005, $64.9 million and $66.9 million, respectively, was realized on the sale of fixed rate residential mortgages. We focus our efforts on consistent net interest revenue and net interest margin growth through each of the retail and wholesale business lines. We do not currently engage in trading activities.

Our Static Repricing GAP as of December 31, 2006 is presented below. In the 12 month repricing GAP, rate sensitive liabilities ("RSL") exceeded rate sensitive assets ("RSA") by $177.8 million.

Capital Resources

We continue to grow our shareholders’ equity while also providing an average annual dividend yield during 2006 of 2.53% to shareholders. Shareholders’ equity of $282.4 million on December 31, 2006 was an 11.2% increase from the $253.9 million on December 31, 2005. Our primary source of capital growth is retained earnings. Cash dividends were $1.05 per share for 2006 and $0.98 per share for 2005. We retained 59.5% of our earnings in 2006 compared to 57.6% in 2005.

Regulatory guidelines require bank holding companies, commercial banks, and savings banks to maintain certain minimum capital ratios and define companies as "well-capitalized" that sufficiently exceed the minimum ratios. The banking regulators may alter minimum capital requirements as a result of revising their internal policies and their ratings of individual institutions. To be "well-capitalized" banks and bank holding companies must maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of no less than 5.0%, a Tier 1 risk based ratio of no less than 6.0%, and a total risk based ratio of no less than 10.0%. Our ratios as of December 31, 2006 were 9.58%, 12.21%, and 13.43%, respectively. Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. and it subsidiaries met the criteria for "well-capitalized" at December 31, 2006. See note 20 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.

As of December 31, 2006, we are not aware of any current recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material adverse impact on our liquidity, capital resources, or operations.

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

We believe the most significant impact on financial and operating results is our ability to react to changes in interest rates. We seek to maintain an essentially balanced position between interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against the effects of wide interest rate fluctuations.

Our success is dependent on the general economic conditions of the communities we serve. Unlike larger banks that are more geographically diversified, we provide financial and banking services primarily to eastern, northeastern, central, and south central Kentucky and southern West Virginia. The economic conditions in these areas have a significant impact on loan demand, the ability of borrowers to repay loans, and the value of the collateral securing loans. A significant decline in general economic conditions will affect these local economic conditions and will negatively affect the financial results of our banking operations. Factors influencing general conditions include inflation, recession, unemployment, and other factors beyond our control.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, we have certain obligations and commitments to make future payments under contracts. At December 31, 2006, the aggregate contractual obligations and commitments are:

Nature of Operations - Substantially all assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses are related to banking operations, including lending, investing of funds, obtaining of deposits, trust operations, full service brokerage operations, and other financing activities. All of our business offices and the majority of our business are located in eastern, northeastern, central, and south central Kentucky and southern West Virginia.

Use of Estimates - In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management must make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported for assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as affecting the disclosures provided. Future results could differ from the current estimates. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the allowance for loan and lease losses, fair value of securities and mortgage servicing rights, and goodwill (the excess of cost over net assets acquired).

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.
 
Investments - Management determines the classification of securities at purchase. We classify securities into held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale categories. Held-to-maturity securities are those which we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity and equity securities that have readily determinable fair values shall be classified in one of the following categories and measured at fair value in the statement of financial position:
 
a. Trading securities. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term (thus held for only a short period of time) shall be classified as trading securities. Trading generally reflects active and frequent buying and selling, and trading securities are generally used with the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in price.
 
b. Available-for-sale securities. Investments not classified as trading securities (nor as held-to-maturity securities) shall be classified as available-for-sale securities. We do not have any securities that are classified as trading securities. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax. If declines in fair value are not temporary, the carrying value of the securities is written down to fair value as a realized loss.

Gains or losses on disposition of securities are computed by specific identification for all securities except for shares in mutual funds, which are computed by average cost. Interest and dividend income, adjusted by amortization of purchase premium or discount, is included in earnings.
 

 
40


Loans - Loans with the ability and the intent to be held until maturity and/or payoff are reported at the carrying value of unpaid principal reduced by unearned interest and an allowance for loan and lease losses. Income is recorded on the level yield basis. Interest accrual is discontinued when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions, collateral value, and collection efforts, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Any loan greater than 90 days past due must be well secured and in the process of collection to continue accruing interest. Cash payments received on nonaccrual loans generally are applied against principal, and interest income is only recorded once principal recovery is reasonably assured. Loans are not reclassified as accruing until principal and interest payments are brought current and future payments appear reasonably certain.

Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized over the estimated life of the related loans, leases, or commitments as a yield adjustment.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses - We maintain an allowance for loan and lease losses ("ALLL") at a level that is appropriate to cover estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans determined to be impaired, as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan and lease portfolio. Since arriving at an appropriate ALLL involves a high degree of management judgment, we use an ongoing quarterly analysis to develop a range of estimated losses. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we use our best estimate within the range of potential credit loss to determine the appropriate ALLL. Credit losses are charged and recoveries are credited to the ALLL.

We utilize an internal risk grading system for commercial credits. Those larger commercial credits that exhibit probable or observed credit weaknesses are subject to individual review. The borrower’s cash flow, adequacy of collateral coverage, and other options available to the Corporation, including legal remedies, are evaluated. The review of individual loans includes those loans that are impaired as provided in SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. We evaluate the collectibility of both principal and interest when assessing the need for loss provision. Historical loss rates are applied to other commercial loans not subject to specific allocations. The loss rates are determined from a migration analysis which computes the net charge off experience on loans according to their internal risk grade.

Homogenous loans, such as consumer installment, residential mortgages, and home equity lines are not individually risk graded. The associated ALLL for these loans is measured under SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The ALLL allocation for these pools of loans is established based on the average, maximum, minimum, and median loss ratios over the previous eight quarters.

Historical loss rates for commercial and retail loans are adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, reflect the impact of any current conditions on loss recognition. Factors that we consider include delinquency trends, current economic conditions and trends, strength of supervision and administration of the loan portfolio, levels of underperforming loans, level of recoveries to prior year's charge offs, trend in loan losses, industry concentrations and their relative strengths, amount of unsecured loans and underwriting exceptions. These factors are reviewed quarterly and a weighted range developed with a "most likely" scenario determined. The total of these weighted factors is then applied against the total portfolio and the ALLL is adjusted accordingly.

Loans Held for Sale - Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized in a valuation allowance by charges to income.

Premises and Equipment - Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Capital leases are included in premises and equipment at the capitalized amount less accumulated amortization. Premises and equipment are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis.
 
 
41


Depreciation and amortization are computed primarily using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range up to 40 years for buildings, 2 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and up to the lease term for leasehold improvements. Capitalized leased assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the respective leases.
 
Other Real Estate - Real estate acquired by foreclosure is carried at the lower of the investment in the property or its fair value. Other real estate owned by the Corporation included in other assets at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $4.5 million and $5.4 million, respectively.

Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible - We evaluate total goodwill and core deposit intangible for impairment, based upon SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and SFAS No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, using fair value techniques including multiples of price/equity. Goodwill and core deposit intangible are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or as other events may warrant.

Amortization of core deposit intangible is estimated at approximately $0.6 million annually for the next four years and approximately $0.3 million in year five.

       Income Taxes - Income tax expense is based on the taxes due on the consolidated tax return plus deferred taxes based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates.

Earnings Per Share ("EPS") - Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Diluted EPS adjusts the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding by the dilutive effect of stock options as prescribed in SFAS No. 123R which is discussed in the New Accounting Standards section below.

Segments - Management analyzes the operation of the Corporation assuming one operating segment, community banking services. The Corporation, through its operating subsidiaries, offers a wide range of consumer and commercial community banking services. These services include: (i) residential and commercial real estate loans; (ii) checking accounts; (iii) regular and term savings accounts and savings certificates; (iv) full service securities brokerage services; (v) consumer loans; (vi) debit cards; (vii) annuity and life insurance products; (viii) Individual Retirement Accounts and Keogh plans; (ix) commercial loans; (x) trust services; and (xi) commercial demand deposit accounts.

Bank Owned Life Insurance - The Corporation's bank owned life insurance policies are carried at their cash surrender value. We recognize tax-free income from the periodic increases in cash surrender value of these policies and from death benefits.

News Accounting Standards -

Ø  Stock-Based Employee Compensation - In December 2004, SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, was issued. SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123R requires the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements, and establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin Number 107 that provided additional guidance to public companies relating to share-based payment transactions and the implementation of SFAS 123R. Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified retrospective application basis in accounting for stock-based compensation plans. Under SFAS No. 123R, we recognize compensation expense for the grant-date fair value of stock-based compensation issued over its requisite service period. Awards with a graded vesting are expensed on a straight-line basis. The grant-date fair value of stock options is measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Had compensation cost for the Corporation’s stock options granted in 2005 and 2004 been determined under the fair value approach described in SFAS No. 123R, the Corporation’s net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Ø  Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This statement also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this statement is a two-step process. The first step is a recognition process to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step is a measurement process whereby a tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is calculated to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and the cumulative effect of applying the provisions of this statement will be recognized as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings. The Corporation is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements.

Ø  Financial Statements—Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements - In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 108, Financial Statements—Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. This SAB provides guidance on the consideration of prior year misstatements in determining whether the current year's financial statements are materially misstated. In providing this guidance, the SEC staff references both the "iron curtain" and "rollover" approaches to quantifying a current year misstatement for purposes of determining materiality. The iron curtain approach focuses on how the current year's balance sheet would be affected in correcting misstatements without considering the year in which the misstatement originated. The rollover approach focuses on the amount of the misstatements that originated in the current year's income statement. The SEC staff indicates that registrants should quantify the impact of correcting all misstatements, including both the carryover and reversing effects of prior year misstatements, on the current year financial statements. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. Registrants may either restate their financials for any material misstatements arising from the application of this SAB or recognize a cumulative effect of applying SAB 108 within the current year opening balance in retained earnings. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Reclassification - Certain reclassifications considered to be immaterial have been made in the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to current year classifications.

2. Business Combinations

On June 10, 2005, Community Trust Bank, Inc., the bank subsidiary of Community Trust Bancorp, Inc., completed the acquisition of Heritage Community Bank of Danville, Kentucky. All former Heritage Community Bank offices now operate as branch offices of Community Trust Bank, Inc. Through this acquisition, we obtained loans totaling approximately $73.7 million, cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8.1 million, and deposits totaling approximately $69.8 million from this acquisition. The total cost of the acquisition, including direct acquisition costs, was $12.4 million. Goodwill and core deposit intangible of approximately $5.5 million was recorded. Pro forma information has not been presented since the impact of the acquisition is not significant to the consolidated financial statements.

3. Cash and Due from Banks

Included in cash and due from banks are noninterest bearing deposits that are required to be held at the Federal Reserve or maintained in vault cash in accordance with regulatory reserve requirements. The balance requirements were $37.8 million and $40.0 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Cash paid during the years ended 2006, 2005, and 2004 for interest was $79.6 million, $55.1 million, and $36.4 million, respectively. Cash paid during the same periods for income taxes was $12.7 million, $13.1 million and $11.5 million, respectively.

There were no pre-tax gains or losses realized on sales and calls in 2006 and no significant gains or losses in 2005. Pre-tax gains of $0.8 million and losses of $0.2 million were realized on sales and calls in 2004.
 
Securities in the amount of $401 million and $350 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, trust funds, repurchase agreements, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

We evaluate our investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for impairment. The analysis performed as of December 31, 2006 indicates that all impairment is considered temporary, due primarily to fluctuations in interest rates, and not credit-related. The following tables provide the amortized cost, gross unrealized losses, and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2006.

Not included in the loan balances above were loans held for sale in the amount of $1.4 million and $0.1 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The amount of loans on a non-accruing income status was $9.9 million, $12.2 million, and $13.8 million at December 31, 2006, December 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively. The total of loans on nonaccrual that were in homogeneous pools and not evaluated individually for impairment were $2.6 million, $4.1 million, and $5.0 million at December 31, 2006, December 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively. Additional interest which would have been recorded during 2006, 2005, and 2004 if such loans had been accruing interest was approximately $1.0 million, $1.3 million, and $0.9 million, respectively. Any loan greater than 90 days past due must be well secured and in the process of collection to continue accruing interest. The amount of loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest was $4.3 million, $8.3 million, and $5.3 million at December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

At December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, loans serviced for the benefit of others (primarily FHLMC) totaled $362 million, $372 million, and $377 million, respectively. Servicing loans for others generally consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow accounts, disbursing payments to investors, and processing foreclosures. Net loan servicing income (expense) reflected in the above table includes amortization of servicing rights noted below and loan servicing income of $0.9 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004.

The fair values of capitalized mortgage servicing rights were $3.4 million, $3.9 million, and $3.7 million at December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Fair values for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 were determined by third party valuations using discount rates of 10.61%, 9.14%, and 9.16%, respectively, prepayment speeds ranging from 135% to 389%, 130% to 327%, and 94% to 335%, respectively, depending on the stratifications of the specific rights, and weighted average default rates of 1.3%, 1.1%, and 1.3%, respectively.

Amortization expense for the next five years is estimated at approximately $0.6 million annually; however, actual amortization expense will be impacted by serviced loan payoffs that occur during each year.

7. Related Party Transactions

In the ordinary course of business, our banking subsidiary has made loans and had transactions with certain directors and executive officers of our Corporation or its subsidiaries, including their associates (as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission). We believe such loans and transactions were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rate and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other persons. The aggregate amount of related party loans at January 1, 2006 was $32.8 million. During 2006, activity with respect to these loans included new loans of $8.0 million, repayment of $16.0 million, and a net decrease of $0.4 million resulting from the change in status of executive officers and directors. As a result of these activities, the aggregate balance of related party loans was $24.4 million at December 31, 2006. The aggregate balances of related party deposits at December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $28.5 million and $11.4 million, respectively.

On April 28, 2006, we entered into a revolving note agreement for a line of credit in the amount of $12 million, all of which is currently available to meet any future cash needs. The agreement will mature on April 28, 2007. We expect to renew this agreement upon maturity.

All federal funds purchased and the majority of repurchase agreements mature and reprice daily. The average rates paid for federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements on December 31, 2006 were 5.10% and 4.87%, respectively.

The maximum balance for federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements at any month-end during 2006 occurred at May 31, 2006, with a month-end balance of $220.2 million.

On January 24, 2007, we announced that our Board of Directors has authorized the redemption of all outstanding trust preferred securities at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of each security plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption. Approximately $59.5 million principal amount of trust preferred securities are currently outstanding, of which $34.5 million principal amount was issued in 1997 and $25 million principal amount was issued in 2002. The trust preferred securities are expected to be redeemed effective March 31, 2007, by the related trusts. We expect to incur a pre-tax charge from the unamortized debt issuance costs of approximately $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2007 as a result of the redemption of the debentures and trust preferred securities.

The redemption of the trust preferred securities is being made in connection with the concurrent redemption by the Corporation of all of our outstanding 9.0% Subordinated Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $36 million and 8.25% Subordinated Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $26 million. We expect to fund the redemption with the proceeds of a private placement of pooled trust preferred securities.

The new trust preferred securities are expected to have a fixed interest rate for five years and a floating rate of interest at a spread to be above the three-month LIBOR rate thereafter. The new trust preferred securities will have a 30-year term, but will be redeemable beginning five years from the date of issuance.

We estimate that the combined effect of the redemption of the debentures and trust preferred securities will reduce our interest expense by approximately $1.0 million in 2007 and $1.4 million annually through 2011. After giving effect to the redemption and issuance of new trust preferred securities, the Company’s capital ratios will remain unchanged. As of December 31, 2006, we are not aware of any current recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material adverse impact on the Corporation’s liquidity, capital resources, or operations.

14. Employee Benefits

On December 31, 2006 the Corporation had a KSOP plan covering substantially all employees. Half of the first 8% of wages contributed by an employee is matched and goes into the savings and retirement portion of the plan. Employees may contribute additional non-matched amounts up to maximum limits provided by IRS regulations, and the Corporation may at its discretion, contribute an additional percentage of covered employees’ gross wages.

The Corporation currently contributes 4% of covered employees’ gross wages to the employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) portion of the plan. The ESOP uses the contribution to acquire shares of the Corporation’s common stock. The KSOP plan owned 1,074,728 shares of Corporation stock at December 31, 2006. The ESOP plan owned 553,758 shares of Corporation stock at December 31, 2006 while the 401K held 520,970 shares. Substantially all shares owned by the KSOP were allocated to employees’ accounts at December 31, 2006. The market price of the shares at the date of allocation is essentially the same as the market price at the date of purchase.

On January 1, 2007 the Corporation amended its KSOP plan, creating a separate Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and a separate 401K plan.

The total retirement plan expense, including KSOP expense, for 2006, 2005, and 2004 was $2.1 million, $2.0 million, and $1.8 million, respectively.

The 1998 Plan had 1,046,831 shares authorized, 145,577 of which were available at December 31, 2006 for future grants. The 1989 Stock Option Plan ("1989 Plan") was approved by the Board of Directors and the Shareholders in 1989. The 1989 Stock Option Plan ("1989 Plan") has no remaining options available for grant.

We use the following assumptions, which are evaluated and revised as necessary, in estimating the grant-date fair value of each option grant for the year end:

For 2006 the expected option life was derived from the "safe-harbor" rules for estimating option life in SFAS No. 123R. For 2005 and 2004 the expected option life was derived from historical exercise patterns and expected life. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the stock using a historical look back that approximates the expected life of the option grant. The interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. Our stock based compensation expense for the year 2006 was $655 thousand.

16. Fair Market Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Securities - Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.

Loans (net of the allowance for loan and lease losses) - The fair value of fixed rate loans and variable rate mortgage loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. For other variable rate loans, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

Loans Held for Sale - The fair value is predetermined based on sale price.

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

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

Accrued Interest Receivable - The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Capitalized Mortgage Servicing Rights - The fair value is obtained by use of an independent third party.

Deposits - The fair value of deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Short-term Borrowings - The carrying amount approximates fair value.

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

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

Accrued Interest Payable - The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Other Financial Instruments - The estimated fair value for other financial instruments and off-balance sheet loan commitments approximates cost at December 31, 2006 and 2005. Off-balance sheet loan commitments at December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $478.9 million and $435.9 million, respectively.
 
 
57



Commitments to Extend Credit - The fair value of commitments to extend credit is based upon the difference between the interest rate at which we are committed to make the loans and the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities, adjusted for the estimated volume of loan commitments actually expected to close. The fair value of such commitments is not material.

17. Off-Balance Sheet Transactions and Guarantees

The Bank is a party to transactions with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit in the form of unused lines of credit. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

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

$

Commitments to extend credit
   
424,034
   
380,904
 

Standby letters of credit represent conditional commitments to guarantee the performance of a third party. The credit risk involved is essentially the same as the risk involved in making loans. At December 31, 2006, we maintained a credit loss reserve of approximately $22 thousand relating to these financial standby letters of credit. The reserve coverage calculation was determined using essentially the same methodology used for the allowance for loan and lease losses. Approximately 90% of the total standby letters of credit are secured, with $41.7 million of the total $54.8 million secured by cash. Collateral for the remaining secured standby letters of credit varies but is comprised primarily of accounts receivable, inventory, property, equipment, and income-producing properties.
 
 
58



Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. A portion of the commitments is to extend credit at fixed rates. Fixed rate loan commitments at December 31, 2006 of $19.1 million had interest rates and terms ranging predominantly from 6.00% to 7.99% and 6 months to 1 year, respectively. These credit commitments were based on prevailing rates, terms, and conditions applicable to other loans being made at December 31, 2006.

18. Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Corporation’s banking subsidiary grants commercial, residential, and consumer loans to customers primarily located in eastern, northeastern, central, and south central Kentucky and southern West Virginia. The Bank is continuing to manage all components of its portfolio mix in a manner to reduce risk from changes in economic conditions. Concentrations of credit, as defined for regulatory purposes, are reviewed quarterly by management to ensure that internally established limits based on Tier 1 Capital plus the allowance for loan and lease losses are not exceeded. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, our concentrations of hotel/motel industry credits were 43% and 44% of Tier 1 Capital plus the allowance for loan and lease losses, respectively. Coal mining and related support industries credits at December 31, 2006 and 2005 based on established limits were 33% and 39% of Tier 1 Capital plus the allowance for loan and lease losses, respectively. Lessors of residential buildings and dwellings credits at December 31, 2006 and 2005 were 28% and 31% of Tier 1 Capital plus the allowance for loan and lease losses, respectively. Single family construction credits at December 31, 2006 and 2005 were 25% and 30% of Tier 1 Capital plus the allowance for loan and lease losses, respectively. These percentages are within our internally established limits regarding concentrations of credit.

19. Commitments and Contingencies

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

20. Regulatory Matters

Our principal source of funds is dividends received from our subsidiary bank. Regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by our banking subsidiary without prior approval. During 2007, approximately $48.8 million plus any 2007 net profits can be paid by our banking subsidiary without prior regulatory approval.

The Federal Reserve Bank adopted quantitative measures which assign risk weightings to assets and off-balance sheet items and also define and set minimum regulatory capital requirements (risk based capital ratios). All banks are required to have a minimum Tier 1 (core capital) leverage ratio of 4% of adjusted quarterly average assets, Tier 1 capital of at least 4% of risk-weighted assets, and total capital of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 capital consists principally of shareholders’ equity including capital-qualifying subordinated debt but excluding unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, less goodwill and certain other intangibles. Total capital consists of Tier 1 capital plus certain debt instruments and the reserve for credit losses, subject to limitation. Failure to meet certain capital requirements can initiate certain actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our consolidated financial statements. The regulations also define well-capitalized levels of Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1, and total capital as 5%, 6%, and 10%, respectively. We had Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1, and total capital ratios above the well-capitalized levels at December 31, 2006 and 2005. We believe, as of December 31, 2006, the Corporation meets all capital adequacy requirements for which it is subject to be defined as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Under the current Federal Reserve Board’s regulatory framework, certain capital securities offered by wholly owned unconsolidated trust preferred entities of the Corporation are included as Tier 1 regulatory capital. On March 1, 2005, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a final rule that allows the continued limited inclusion of trust preferred securities in the Tier 1 capital of bank holding companies ("BHCs"). Under the final rule, trust preferred securities and other restricted core capital elements are subject to stricter quantitative limits. The Board's final rule limits restricted core capital elements to 25 percent of all core capital elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax liability. Internationally active BHCs, defined as those with consolidated assets greater than $250 billion or on-balance sheet foreign exposure greater than $10 billion, are subject to a 15 percent limit, but they may include qualifying mandatory convertible preferred securities up to the generally applicable 25 percent limit. Amounts of restricted core capital elements in excess of these limits generally may be included in Tier 2 capital. The final rule provides a five-year transition period, ending March 31, 2009, for application of the quantitative limits. The requirement for trust preferred securities to include a call option has been eliminated, and standards for the junior subordinated debt underlying trust preferred securities eligible for Tier 1 capital treatment have been clarified. The final rule addresses supervisory concerns, competitive equity considerations, and the accounting for trust preferred securities. The final rule also strengthens the definition of regulatory capital by incorporating longstanding Board policies regarding the acceptable terms of capital instruments included in banking organizations' Tier 1 or Tier 2 capital. The final rule did not have a material impact on our regulatory ratios.

24. FDIC One-Time Assessment Credit

Effective November 17, 2006, the FDIC implemented a one-time credit of $4.7 billion to eligible institutions. The purpose of the credit is to recognize contributions made by certain institutions to capitalize the Bank Insurance Fund and Savings Association Insurance Fund, which have now been merged into the Deposit Insurance Fund. The Bank is an eligible institution and has received notice from the FDIC that its share of the credit is approximately $2.2 million. This amount is not reflected in the accompanying financial statements as it represents contingent future credits against future insurance assessment payments. As such, the timing and ultimate recoverability of the one-time credit may change.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Community Trust Bancorp, Inc.
Pikeville, Kentucky

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (Company) as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statement of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated March 9, 2007, expressed unqualified opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Community Trust Bancorp, Inc.
Pikeville, Kentucky

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control, that Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (Company) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

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

In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in COSO.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

The Audit Committee of Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. announced on May 15, 2006 that it engaged BKD, LLP to serve as the Corporation's new independent registered certified public accountants. Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) resigned as the Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee accepted Deloitte’s resignation.

The reports of Deloitte on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

The Corporation's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of December 31, 2006, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President/Treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2006 were effective in ensuring material information required to be disclosed in this annual report on Form 10-K was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis. Additionally, there were no changes in the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.

Management's responsibilities related to establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures include maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting that are designed to produce reliable financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. There have been no significant changes in the Corporation's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to December 31, 2006.

MANAGEMENT REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL

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

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

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

·  
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.

Because of the inherent limitations, any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, may not prevent or detect misstatements due to the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden or that misstatements due to error or fraud may occur that are not detected. Also, projections of the effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures included in such controls may deteriorate.

Management has evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on the control criteria established in a report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on such evaluation, we have concluded that the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2006.

The registered independent public accounting firm of BKD, LLP, as auditor of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements, has issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
