Community Trust Bancorp, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)


Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (which consist of normal recurring accruals) necessary, to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2007, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.  In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, these statements do not include certain information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete annual financial statements.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. ("CTBI") for that period.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2006, included in CTBI's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Principles of Consolidation – The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CTBI and its separate and distinct, wholly owned subsidiaries Community Trust Bank, Inc. (the “Bank”) and Community Trust and Investment Company.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications considered to be immaterial have been made in the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to current year classifications.

New Accounting Standards

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.  CTBI adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007.  The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of this statement was recognized as a $0.6 million adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings.  An additional $28 thousand increase to the FIN 48 liability was charged to current income tax expense during the quarter ended March 31, 2007.  The FIN 48 liability is carried in other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2007.  Approximately $0.2 million in FIN 48 liability is relative to state nexus issues.  It is anticipated that these issues can be resolved through the filing of amended state tax returns, and management expects that these amended returns will be filed within the next six months.  CTBI is subject to taxation in the United States and various state and local jurisdictions.  For federal tax purposes, CTBI’s tax years for 2004 through 2007 are subject to examination by the tax authorities.  For state and local tax purposes, CTBI’s tax years for 2003 through 2007 are subject to examination by the tax authorities.  CTBI currently recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.


 
Ø  Fair Value Measurements – In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), which provides guidance on how to measure assets and liabilities that use fair value.  SFAS 157 will apply whenever another generally accepted accounting principle standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances.  This statement also will require additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly reports.  SFAS 157 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and will be adopted by CTBI beginning in the first quarter of 2008.  CTBI is currently evaluating the potential impact this statement may have on its financial position and results of operations, but does not believe the impact of the adoption will be material.

Ø  Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("SFAS 159"), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities using different measurement techniques.  SFAS 159 requires additional disclosures related to the fair value measurements included in the entity's financial statements.  This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after Nov. 15, 2007.  Accordingly, CTBI will adopt SFAS 159 in the first quarter of 2008.  CTBI is currently evaluating the potential impact this statement may have on its financial position and results of operations, but does not believe the impact of the adoption will be material.

CTBI’s compensation expense related to stock option grants was $159 thousand and $498 thousand, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $157 thousand and $477 thousand, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.  As of September 30, 2007, there was a total of $2.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock option awards that will be recognized as expense as the awards vest over a weighted average period of 2.0 years compared to $1.5 million of unrecognized compensation at September 30, 2006.

There were no options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2007 or 2006.  However, there were 109,304 and 116,900 options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, was established at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the weighted average assumptions as follows:

Note 3 – Securities
 
Securities are classified into held-to-maturity and available-for-sale categories.  Held-to-maturity securities are those that CTBI has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost.  Available-for-sale securities are those that CTBI may decide to sell if needed for liquidity, asset-liability management or other reasons.  Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses included as a separate component of equity, net of tax.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

Overview
 
Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (“CTBI”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Pikeville, Kentucky.  At September 30, 2007, CTBI owned one commercial bank and one trust company.  Through its subsidiaries, CTBI has seventy-nine banking locations in eastern, northeast, central, and south central Kentucky and southern West Virginia, and five trust offices across Kentucky.  CTBI had total assets of $2.9 billion and total shareholders’ equity of $294.9 million as of September 30, 2007.  CTBI’s common stock is listed on NASDAQ under the symbol CTBI.  Current market participants are Howe Barnes Hoefer & Arnett, Inc.; Goldman, Sachs & Co.; UBS Securities, LLC; Knight Equity Markets, L.P.;  Sandler O'Neill & Partners; Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc.; Lehman Brothers, Inc.; Citadel Derivatives Group, LLC; Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.; Susquehanna Capital Group; J.J.B. Hilliard, W.L. Lyons; Citigroup Global Markets, Inc.; and FTN Midwest Securities Corp.
 
CTBI terminated its Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 31, 2007 with Eagle Fidelity, Inc.  On August 10, 2007, CTBI was informed that the Eagle Board of Directors had determined that a third party had made a “superior proposal” for the acquisition of Eagle.  CTBI’s Board of Directors determined that it would not increase the consideration under the merger agreement.  CTBI received payment of a termination fee under the merger agreement in the amount of $1.2 million during the third quarter 2007.

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 the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2006, included in CTBI's Annual Report on Form 10-K.  We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
 
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 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 CTBI, 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.  Management analyzes the average, maximum, minimum, and median historical loss rates for the previous eight quarters and determines the most likely loss rate to apply by comparing these to migration analysis, which computes the net charge-off experience on loans according to their internal risk grade, and other market factors.
 
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.
 
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.
 
Segments – Management analyzes the operation of CTBI assuming one operating segment, community banking services.  CTBI, 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 – CTBI'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.

Core earnings for the quarter and YTD 2007 continue to reflect the pressure on our net interest income as CTBI continues operating within the inverted yield curve.

v  
Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans at September 30, 2007 were 1.41%, an increase of $7.6 million over prior quarter and a $15.9 million increase from same period prior year.  The quarter over quarter increase in nonperforming loans is driven by the residential real estate development market in Central Kentucky and consists of three borrowing relationships.  The relationships have been thoroughly analyzed and appropriate reserves established for any potential loss.

v  
Our loan portfolio grew at an annualized rate of 3.5% during the quarter and 3.7% from September 30, 2006.

v  
Our investment portfolio declined 15.2% from prior quarter and 14.5% from prior year resulting from the payment of a $40 million FHLB advance and a decline in deposits which were funded through the sale of auction rate securities.  The FHLB advance was acquired in the third quarter 2004 to fund growth in our investment portfolio.
 
CTBI had basic weighted average shares outstanding of 15.2 million and 15.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and 15.2 million and 15.1 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.  The following table sets forth on an annualized basis the return on average assets and return on average shareholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006:

Net Interest Income
 
  As anticipated by management, our net interest margin remained stable during the third quarter 2007.  Our quarterly net interest margin remained at 3.86%, the same as prior quarter, but was a decrease of 22 basis points from the third quarter 2006.  Our year-to-date net interest margin has declined 19 basis points from the first nine months of 2006.
 
Net interest income for the quarter remained at $26.6 million, the same as  prior quarter, but decreased 3.2% from prior year third quarter, as the yield on average earnings assets increased 2 basis points from September 2006 to September 2007 in comparison to the 33 basis point increase in the cost of interest bearing funds.  Year-to-date net interest income has decreased 2.4% compared to the first nine months of 2006.  Average earning assets have increased 2.5% year over year.

Net loan charge-offs for the quarter of $1.7 million, or 0.30% of average loans annualized, was an increase from prior quarter's 0.23% of average loans annualized and from the 0.29% from prior year third quarter.  Net loan charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of 0.23% of average loans annualized was a decrease from the 0.29% for the first nine months of 2006.  Our reserve for losses on loans as a percentage of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2007 remained at 1.25% from prior quarter, a decrease from the 1.30% at September 30, 2006.  The adequacy of our reserve for losses on loans is analyzed quarterly and adjusted as necessary.

Noninterest Income
 
Noninterest income for the third quarter 2007 remained relatively stable to prior quarter after normalizing for the receipt of a $1.2 million fee associated with the termination of the Eagle Fidelity, Inc. acquisition, but increased 6.6% normalized from the third quarter 2006.  Year-to-date noninterest income normalized increased more than 9% from the nine months ended September 30, 2006, with increases in gains on sales of loans, deposit service charges, trust revenue, and loan related fees.

Noninterest Expense
 
Noninterest expense for the quarter decreased 7.7% from prior quarter as a result of the reversal of an employee incentive accrual.  Year-to-date noninterest expense, however, increased 4.8% as the third quarter accrual reversal was offset by the first quarter charge related to unamortized debt issuance costs with the redemption of trust preferred securities.
 

 
Balance Sheet Review
 
CTBI’s total assets decreased $71.7 million or 2.4% from prior quarter and $40.6 million, or an annualized 1.8%, from prior year-end, resulting from the payoff of a $40 million FHLB advance and a decline in deposits which were funded through the sale of auction rate securities.  Loans outstanding at September 30, 2007 were $2.2 billion reflecting a $19.4 million, annualized 3.5%, increase during the quarter, and a $67.0 million or 4.1% increase from prior year-end.  CTBI's investment portfolio decreased $74.7 million from prior quarter and $79.3 million from December 31, 2006.  Deposits, including repurchase agreements, declined $39.7 million, an annualized 6.3%, during the quarter and $23.0 million, an annualized 1.2%, during the first nine months of the year, as CTBI continued its focus on managing deposit growth and pricing controls due to its liquidity position.
 
Shareholders’ equity of $294.9 million on September 30, 2007 was an annualized increase of 4.4% from June 30, 2007 and an annualized 5.9% increase from the $282.4 million on December 31, 2006.  Our annualized dividend yield to shareholders as of September 30, 2007 was 3.60%.

Loans
 
Loan growth occurred in the residential and consumer loan portfolios during the third quarter 2007 and in all three major loan categories—commercial, residential, and consumer—from prior year-end.  For the first nine months of 2007, the commercial loan portfolio increased $21.6 million, residential real estate loans increased $28.2 million, and the consumer portfolio increased $17.2 million.

The following tables summarize CTBI’s nonperforming loans as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Nonperforming loans at September 30, 2007 were $31.5 million compared to $23.9 million at June 30, 2007 and $17.3 million at December 31, 2006.  All nonperforming loans are individually reviewed with specific reserves established when appropriate.  The increase in nonperforming loans is driven primarily by three relationships related to residential development.  We anticipate nonperforming loans to remain higher than recent history as the normal legal collection time period for real estate secured assets has been slowed due to increased volumes in the industry.  Our loan portfolio management processes focus on maintaining appropriate reserves for potential losses.

Foreclosed properties at September 30, 2007 of $6.6 million were a $2.7 million increase from the $3.9 million on June 30, 2007 and a $2.1 million increase from the $4.5 million on December 31, 2006.  The increase was driven by a $2.6 million increase in single family residential properties from our Central Kentucky Region where the market has softened.  The market has not experienced deflation in residential real estate, but the time on the market before sale has extended.
 
 
Allowance for Loan Losses
 
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.  For further discussion of the allowance for loan losses, see the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section presented earlier in Item 2.

Securities
 
CTBI uses its securities held-to-maturity for production of income and to manage cash flow needs through expected maturities.  CTBI uses its securities available-for-sale for income and balance sheet liquidity management.  Securities available-for-sale reported at fair value decreased from $425.9 million as of December 31, 2006 to $353.0 million at September 30, 2007; the excess of cost over market decreased from $5.0 million to $3.3 million.  The reduction in securities available-for-sale resulted from the payment of a $40 million FHLB advance and a decline in deposits which were funded through the sale of auction rate securities.  Securities held-to-maturity decreased from $40.5 million to $34.1 million during the same period.  Total securities as a percentage of total assets were 15.7% as of December 31, 2006 and 13.2% as of September 30, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
CTBI’s liquidity objectives are to ensure that funds are available for the subsidiary bank to meet deposit withdrawals and credit demands without unduly penalizing profitability.  Additionally, CTBI's objectives ensure that funding is available for CTBI to meet ongoing cash needs while maximizing profitability.  CTBI continues to identify ways to provide for liquidity on both a current and long-term basis.  The subsidiary bank relies mainly on core deposits, certificates of deposits of $100,000 or more, repayment of principal and interest on loans and securities and federal funds sold and purchased to create long-term liquidity.  The subsidiary bank also has available the sale of securities under repurchase agreements, securities available-for-sale, and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings as secondary sources of liquidity.
 

 
Due to the nature of the markets served by the subsidiary bank, management believes that the majority of its certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more and its repurchase agreements are no more volatile than its core deposits.  During periods of interest rate volatility, these deposit balances have remained stable as a percentage of total deposits.  In addition, an arrangement has been made with a correspondent bank for the purchase of federal funds on an unsecured basis, up to $20 million, if necessary, to meet CTBI’s liquidity needs.
 
CTBI owns securities with an estimated fair value of $353 million that are designated as available-for-sale and available to meet liquidity needs on a continuing basis.  CTBI also has available Federal Home Loan Bank advances for both liquidity and management of its asset/liability position.  FHLB advances decreased from $81.2 million at December 31, 2006 to $41.0 million at September 30, 2007, resulting from the payment of a $40 million advance that was acquired in the third quarter 2004 to fund growth in our investment portfolio.  FHLB borrowing capacity at September 30, 2007 was $396.4 million.  Long-term debt remained at $61.3 million from December 31, 2006 to September 30, 2007.  At September 30, 2007, federal funds sold were $41.9 million compared to $62.1 million at December 31, 2006.  Additionally, management projects cash flows from CTBI's investment portfolio to generate additional liquidity over the next 90 days.
 
CTBI generally relies upon net inflows of cash from financing activities, supplemented by net inflows of cash from operating activities, to provide cash for its investing activities.  As is typical of many financial institutions, significant financing activities include deposit gathering, use of short-term borrowing facilities such as federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, and issuance of long-term debt.  CTBI’s primary investing activities include purchases of securities and loan originations.
 
The investment portfolio continues to consist of high-quality short-term issues.  The majority of the investment portfolio is in U.S. government and government sponsored agency issuances.  The average life of the portfolio is 3.11 years. Available-for-sale ("AFS") securities comprise approximately 85% of the total investment portfolio.  At the end of the third quarter, the AFS portfolio was approximately 120% of equity capital.  At September 30, 2007, eighty-eight percent of the pledge eligible portfolio was pledged.
 
CTBI'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 and in May 2005.  CTBI repurchased 196,500 shares of its common stock during the third quarter 2007, leaving 382,019 shares remaining under CTBI's current repurchase authorization.  As of September 30, 2007, a total of 2.1 million shares have been repurchased through this program.
 
In conjunction with maintaining a satisfactory level of liquidity, management monitors the degree of interest rate risk assumed on the consolidated balance sheet.  CTBI monitors its interest rate risk by use of the static gap model and dynamic gap model at the one-year interval.  CTBI uses the Sendero system to monitor its interest rate risk.  The static gap model monitors the difference in interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities as a percentage of total assets that mature within the specified time frame.  The dynamic gap model goes further in that it assumes that interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities will be reinvested.  CTBI desires an interest sensitivity gap of not more than fifteen percent of total assets at the one-year interval.
 
CTBI’s principal source of funds used to pay dividends to shareholders and service long-term debt is the dividends it receives from the subsidiary bank.  Various federal statutory provisions, in addition to regulatory policies and directives, limit the amount of dividends that subsidiary banks can pay without prior regulatory approval.  These restrictions have had no major impact on CTBI’s dividend policy or its ability to service long-term debt, nor is it anticipated that they would have any major impact in the foreseeable future.  During the remainder of 2007, approximately $60.6 million plus any remaining 2007 net profits can be paid by CTBI’s banking subsidiary without prior regulatory approval.
 
The primary source of capital for CTBI is retained earnings.  CTBI paid cash dividends of $0.81 per share during the first nine months of 2007.  Basic earnings per share for the same period was $1.80.  CTBI retained 55.0% of earnings for the first nine months of 2007.
 

 
Under guidelines issued by banking regulators, CTBI and its subsidiary bank are required to maintain a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% and a minimum total risk-based ratio of 8%.  In order to be considered “well-capitalized” CTBI must maintain ratios of 6% and 10%, respectively.  Risk-based capital ratios weight the relative risk factors of all assets and consider the risk associated with off-balance sheet items.  CTBI must also maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%.  The well-capitalized ratio for Tier 1 leverage is 5%.  CTBI’s Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based, and total risk-based ratios were 9.88%, 12.75%, and 13.99%, respectively, as of September 30, 2007, all exceeding the threshold for meeting the definition of well-capitalized.
 
As of September 30, 2007, management is not aware of any current recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have, or would be reasonably likely to have, a material adverse impact on CTBI’s liquidity, capital resources, or operations.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
 
The majority of CTBI’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Therefore, CTBI differs greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investment in nonmonetary 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.
 
Management believes one of the most significant impacts on financial and operating results is CTBI’s ability to react to changes in interest rates.  Management seeks to maintain an essentially balanced position between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against the effects of wide interest rate fluctuations.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
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.  CTBI’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 CTBI 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 CTBI’s results.  These statements are representative only on the date hereof, and CTBI undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made.



Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Interest rate risk management focuses on maintaining consistent growth in net interest income within Board-approved policy limits.  CTBI uses an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to movements in interest rates.  Given a 200 basis point increase to the yield curve used in the simulation model, it is estimated net interest income for CTBI would increase by 4.83 percent over one year and by 1.98 percent over two years.  A 200 basis point decrease in the yield curve would decrease net interest income by an estimated 5.35 percent over one year and by 4.89 percent over two years.  For further discussion of CTBI's market risk, see the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Market Risk included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
CTBI'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 September 30, 2007, 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 CTBI's disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on that evaluation, management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007 were effective in ensuring material information required to be disclosed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis.  Additionally, there were no changes in CTBI's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, CTBI'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 CTBI's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to September 30, 2007.
