STOCK YARDS BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) for complete financial statements.  The consolidated unaudited financial statements of Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp”) and its subsidiary reflect all adjustments (consisting only of adjustments of a normal recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company (“Bank”).  Significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of related revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the aforementioned estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of other real estate owned, valuation of securities, income tax assets, and estimated liabilities and expense.

A description of other significant accounting policies is presented in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior year financial statements to conform to current year classifications.  These reclassifications had no effect on Bancorp’s total assets, liabilities, equity or net income.

Interim results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management has identified the accounting policy related to the allowance and provision for loan losses as critical to the understanding of Bancorp’s results of operations and discussed this conclusion with Bancorp’s Audit Committee.  Since the application of this policy requires significant management assumptions and estimates, it could result in materially different amounts to be reported if conditions or underlying circumstances were to change.  Assumptions include many factors such as changes in borrowers’ financial condition which can change quickly or historical loss ratios related to certain loan portfolios which may or may not be indicative of future losses.  To the extent that management’s assumptions prove incorrect, the results from operations could be materially affected by a higher or lower provision for loan losses.  The accounting policy related to the allowance for loan losses is applicable to the commercial banking segment of Bancorp.

The allowance for loan losses is management’s estimate of probable losses in the loan portfolio. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

Prior to the third quarter of 2013, management measured the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses in its entirety using (a) quantitative (historical loss rates) and qualitative factors (management adjustment factors); (b) specific allocations on impaired loans, and (c) an unallocated amount.  The unallocated amount was evaluated on the loan portfolio in its entirety and was based on additional factors,

7



Table of Contents

such as national and local economic trends and conditions, changes in volume and severity of past due loans, volume of non-accrual loans, volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans and other factors and trends that affect specific loans and categories of loans, such as a heightened risk in the commercial and industrial loan portfolios.  Bancorp considered the sum of all allowance amounts derived as described above, including a reasonable unallocated allowance, as an indicator of the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses.

During the third quarter of 2013, Bancorp refined its allowance calculation to allocate the portion of allowance that was previously deemed to be unallocated based on management’s determination of appropriate qualitative adjustments. This calculation includes specific allowance allocations for qualitative factors including, among other factors, (i) national and local economic conditions, (ii) the quality and experience of lending staff and management, (iii) changes in lending policies and procedures, (iv) changes in volume and severity of past due loans, classified loans and non-performing loans, (v) potential impact of any concentrations of credit, (vi) changes in the nature and terms of loans such as growth rates and utilization rates, (vii) changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans, considering Bancorp’s disposition bias, and (viii) the effect of other external factors such as the legal and regulatory environment.  Bancorp may also consider other qualitative factors for additional allowance allocations, including changes in Bancorp’s loan review process.   Changes in the criteria used in this evaluation or the availability of new information could cause the allowance to be increased or decreased in future periods. In addition, bank regulatory agencies, as part of their examination process, may require adjustments to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments and estimates.

Management has also identified the accounting policy related to accounting for income taxes as critical to the understanding of Bancorp’s results of operations and discussed this conclusion with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.  The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns.  Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in Bancorp’s financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences, including the effects of periodic IRS and state agency examinations, could materially impact Bancorp’s financial position and its results from operations.

(2) Acquisition

On April 30, 2013, Bancorp completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of THE BANCorp, Inc. (“Oldham”), parent company of THE BANK — Oldham County, Inc.  As a result of the transaction, THE BANK — Oldham County merged into Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company.  Since the acquisition date, results of operations acquired in the Oldham transaction have been included in Bancorp’s financial results.

The Oldham transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration transferred were recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date. Assets acquired totaled approximately $146.0 million, including $39.8 million of loans and leases.  Liabilities assumed totaled $125.1 million, including $120.4 million of deposits.  Fair value adjustments resulted in net assets acquired in excess of the consideration paid.  Accordingly, a non-taxable gain of $449,000 was recognized.

Fair value of the common shares issued as part of the consideration paid was determined based on the closing market price of Bancorp’s common shares on the acquisition date.

Bancorp recorded a core deposit intangible of $2,543,000 which is being amortized using methods that anticipate the life of the underlying deposits to which the intangible is attributable.  At June 30, 2014, the unamortized core deposit intangible was $1,937,000.  See Note 7 for details on the core deposit intangible.

In many cases, determining the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities required Bancorp to estimate cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and to discount those cash flows at appropriate rates of interest. The most significant of these determinations related to the valuation of acquired loans.  Below is an analysis of the fair value of acquired loans as of June 30, 2014.

Fair values of checking, savings and money market deposit accounts acquired from Oldham were assumed to approximate the carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand. Certificate of deposit accounts were valued at the present value of the certificates’ expected contractual payments discounted at market rates for similar certificates.

In connection with the Oldham acquisition, Bancorp incurred expenses related to executing the transaction and integrating and conforming acquired operations with and into Bancorp. Those expenses consisted largely of conversion of systems and/or integration of operations.

Table of Contents

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because some issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations.  In addition to equity securities, the investment portfolio includes agency mortgage-backed securities, which are guaranteed by agencies such as the FHLMC, FNMA, and GNMA.  These securities differ from traditional debt securities primarily in that they may have uncertain principal payment dates and are priced based on estimated prepayment rates on the underlying collateral. Bancorp does not have exposure to subprime originated mortgage-backed or collateralized debt obligation instruments.

Securities with a carrying value of approximately $210.7 million at June 30, 2014 and $243.5 million at December 31, 2013 were pledged to secure accounts of commercial depositors in cash management accounts, public deposits, and cash balances for certain investment management and trust accounts.

The applicable dates for determining when securities are in an unrealized loss position are June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. As such, it is possible that a security had a market value less than its amortized cost on other days during the past twelve months, but is not in the “Investments with an Unrealized Loss of less than 12 months” category above.

Unrealized losses on Bancorp’s investment securities portfolio have not been recognized in income because the securities are of high credit quality, and the decline in fair values is largely due to changes in the prevailing interest rate environment since the purchase date.  Fair value is expected to recover as securities reach their maturity date and/or the interest rate environment returns to conditions similar to when these securities were purchased. These investments consist of 90 and 155 separate investment positions as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  Because management does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not likely that Bancorp will be required to sell the investments before

recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, Bancorp does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2014.

In addition to the available for sale portfolio, investment securities held by Bancorp include certain securities which are not readily marketable, and are carried at cost. This category includes holdings of Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB) stock which are required for access to FHLB borrowing, and are classified as restricted securities.  Bancorp reviewed the investment in FHLB stock as of June 30, 2014, considering the FHLB equity position, its continuance of dividend payments, liquidity position, and positive year-to-date net income.  Based on this review, Bancorp believes its investment in FHLB stock is not impaired. As of December 31, 2013, FHLB Stock and other securities included a $1 million Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) investment which matured in the second quarter of 2014.

Management uses the following portfolio segments of loans when assessing and monitoring the risk and performance of the loan portfolio:

· Commercial and industrial

· Construction and development, excluding undeveloped land

· Undeveloped land

· Real estate mortgage

· Consumer

Bancorp has loans that were acquired in the Oldham acquisition, for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected.  The carrying amount of those loans is included in the balance sheet amounts of loans at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Changes in the interest component of the fair value adjustment for acquired impaired loans for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the six months ended June 30, 2014 are shown in the following table:

Differences between recorded investment amounts and unpaid principal balance amounts are due to partial charge-offs which have occurred over the life of loans and fair value adjustments recorded for loans acquired.

Impaired loans include non-accrual loans and loans accounted for as troubled debt restructurings (TDR), which continue to accrue interest. Non-performing loans include the balance of impaired loans plus any loans over 90 days past due and still accruing interest.  Loans past due more than 90 days or more and still accruing interest amounted to $348,000 at June 30, 2014 and $437,000 at December 31, 2013.

Consistent with regulatory guidance, Bancorp categorizes loans into credit risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as:  current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends.  Pass-rated loans included all risk-rated loans other than those classified as special mention, substandard, and doubtful, which are defined below:

· Special Mention:  Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention.  These potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects for the loan or of Bancorp’s credit position at some future date.

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

20



Table of Contents

· Substandard non-performing:  Loans classified as substandard-non-performing have all the characteristics of substandard loans and have been placed on non-accrual status or have been accounted for as troubled debt restructurings.

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

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the internally assigned risk grades of loans by category were as follows:

(5) Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

Bancorp had outstanding borrowings of $36.1 million at June 30, 2014, via seven separate fixed-rate advances.  For two advances totaling $30 million, both of which are non-callable, interest payments are due monthly, with principal due at maturity.  For the remaining advances totaling $6.1 million, principal and interest payments are due monthly based on an amortization schedule.

Advances from the FHLB are collateralized by certain commercial and residential real estate mortgage loans under a blanket mortgage collateral agreement and FHLB stock. Bancorp views the borrowings as an effective alternative to higher cost time deposits to fund loan growth.  At June 30 2014, the amount of available credit from the FHLB totaled $417.1 million.

(6) Derivative Financial Instruments

Occasionally, Bancorp enters into free-standing interest rate swaps for the benefits of its commercial customers who desire to hedge their exposure to changing interest rates.  Bancorp offsets its interest rate exposure on commercial customer transactions by entering into swap agreements with approved reputable independent counterparties with substantially matching terms.  These undesignated derivative instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value.  Because of matching terms of offsetting contracts and the collateral provisions mitigating any non-performance risk, changes in fair value subsequent to initial recognition are expected to have an insignificant effect on earnings. Exchanges of cash flows related to the undesignated interest rate swap agreements for the first six months of 2014 were offsetting and therefore had no net effect on Bancorp’s earnings or cash flows.

Interest rate swap agreements derive their value from underlying interest rates. These transactions involve both credit and market risk. The notional amounts are amounts on which calculations, payments, and the value of the derivative are based. Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures. Direct credit exposure is limited to the net difference between the calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any. Bancorp is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to these agreements. Bancorp controls the credit risk of its financial contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures, and does not expect any counterparties to fail their obligations.

In December 2013, Bancorp entered into an interest rate swap to hedge cash flows of a $10 million floating-rate FHLB borrowing. The interest rate swap involves exchange of Bancorp’s floating rate interest payments on the underlying principal amount. This swap was designated, and qualified, for cash-flow hedge accounting. The term of the swap began December 6, 2013 and ends December 6, 2016. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the effective portion of gains or losses is reported as a component of other comprehensive income, and is subsequently reclassified into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense in periods in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The following table details Bancorp’s derivative position designated as a cash flow hedge, and the fair values as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

(7) Goodwill and Intangible Assets

US GAAP requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually.  Annual evaluations have resulted in no indication of impairment.  Bancorp currently has goodwill in the amount of $682,000 from the 1996 acquisition of an Indiana bank.  This goodwill is assigned to the commercial banking segment of Bancorp.

Bancorp recorded a core deposit intangible totaling $2,543,000 arising from the Oldham acquisition.  Through the first quarter of 2014, this intangible asset was being amortized over a ten-year period using an accelerated method which anticipated the life of the underlying deposits to which the intangible asset is attributable.  Bancorp reevaluated the deposits and determined that for money market, savings and interest bearing checking accounts, it is more appropriate to amortize the intangible asset using a straight line method over 15 years.  This revision was applied prospectively beginning in the second quarter of 2014.  At June 30, 2014, the unamortized core deposit intangible was $1,937,000.

Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) are initially recognized at fair value when mortgage loans are sold and amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income, considering appropriate prepayment assumptions.  MSRs are evaluated quarterly for impairment by comparing carrying value to fair value.  The estimated fair values of MSRs at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $3,255,000 and $3,953,000, respectively.  The total outstanding principal balances of loans serviced for others were $434,918,000 and $435,339,000 at June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively.

(8) Defined Benefit Retirement Plan

Bancorp sponsors an unfunded, non-qualified, defined benefit retirement plan for four key officers (two current, and two retired), and has no plans to increase the number of participants.  Benefits vest based on 25 years of service.  The actuarially determined pension costs are expensed and accrued over the service period, and benefits are paid from Bancorp’s assets.  The net periodic benefits costs, which include interest cost and amortization of net losses, totaled $32,000 and $36,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the net periodic benefit costs totaled $63,000 and $71,000, respectively.

(9) Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

As of June 30, 2014, Bancorp had various commitments outstanding that arose in the normal course of business, including standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit, which are properly not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. In management’s opinion, commitments to extend credit of $445.8 million including standby letters of credit of $16.2 million represent normal banking transactions, and no significant losses are anticipated to result from these commitments as of June 30, 2014. Commitments to extend credit were $464.2 million, including letters of credit of $15.2 million, as of December 31, 2013.  Bancorp’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to these commitments is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Commitments to extend credit are mainly comprised of commercial lines of credit, construction and home equity credit lines. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Bancorp uses the same credit and collateral policies in making commitments and conditional guarantees as for on-balance sheet instruments. Bancorp evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case by case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and real estate.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional commitments issued by Bancorp to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private commercial transactions. Standby letters of credit generally have maturities of one to two years.

To provide service to commercial accounts, Bancorp aids customers with letters of credits or other financial contracts with other financial institutions.  Accordingly, Bancorp has entered into agreements to

24



Table of Contents

guarantee performance of several customers’ contracts with other financial institutions. Bancorp will make payments under these agreements if a customer defaults on its obligations to the other financial institutions. The terms of the agreements range from 1 to 12 months. The maximum potential future payment guaranteed by Bancorp at June 30, 2014 was $3.4 million. If an event of default on all contracts had occurred at June 30, 2014, Bancorp would have been required to make payments of approximately $2.7 million. No payments have ever been required as a result of default on these contracts. These agreements are normally secured by collateral acceptable to Bancorp, which limits credit risk associated with the agreements.

Also, as of June 30, 2014, in the normal course of business, there were pending legal actions and proceedings in which claims for damages are asserted. Management, after discussion with legal counsel, believes the ultimate result of these legal actions and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of Bancorp.

(10) Preferred Stock

Bancorp has a class of preferred stock (no par value; 1,000,000 shares authorized), the relative rights, preferences and other terms of which or any series within the class will be determined by the Board of Directors prior to any issuance.  None of this stock has been issued to date.

(11) Stock-Based Compensation

The fair value of all awards granted, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized as compensation expense over the respective service period.

Bancorp currently has one stock-based compensation plan.  Initially, in the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, there were 735,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance of stock based awards.  In 2010, shareholders approved an additional 700,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the plan.  As of June 30, 2014, there were 435,842 shares available for future awards.  Bancorp’s 1995 Stock Incentive Plan expired in 2005; however, options granted under this plan expire as late as 2015.

Options and stock appreciation rights (SARs) granted generally have a vesting schedule of 20% per year.  Options and SARs expire ten years after the grant date unless forfeited due to employment termination.  No stock options have been granted since 2007.

Restricted shares granted to officers generally vest over five years.  All restricted shares have been granted at a price equal to the market value of common stock at the time of grant. Because grantees are entitled to dividend payments during the performance period, the fair value of these restricted shares is equal to the market value of the shares on the date of grant.

Grants of performance stock units (PSUs) to executive officers vest based upon service and a single three-year performance period which begins January 1 of the first year of the performance period.  Because grantees are not entitled to dividend payments during the performance period, the fair value of these PSUs is estimated based upon the fair value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, adjusted for non-payment of dividends.

Grants of restricted stock units (RSUs) to directors are time-based and vest based upon one year of service.  Because grantees are entitled to deferred dividend payments at the end of the vesting period, the fair value of the RSUs are estimated based on the fair value of the underlying shares on the date of grant.  In the first quarter of 2014, Bancorp awarded 3,920 RSUs to directors of Bancorp.

Bancorp expects to record an additional $950,000 of stock-based compensation expense in 2014 for equity grants outstanding as of June 30, 2014.  As of June 30, 2014, Bancorp has $4,106,000 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recorded as compensation expense over the next five years as awards vest. Bancorp received cash of $626,000 and $475,000 from the exercise of options during the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The fair values of Bancorp’s stock options and SARs are estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, a leading formula for calculating the value of stock options and SARs.  This model requires the input of subjective assumptions, changes to which can materially affect the fair value estimate.  The fair value of restricted shares is determined by Bancorp’s closing stock price on the date of grant.  The following assumptions were used in SAR valuations at the grant date in each year:

Dividend yield and expected volatility are based on historical information corresponding to the expected life of options and SARs granted.  Expected volatility is the volatility of the underlying shares for the expected term on a monthly basis.  The risk free interest rate is the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options. The expected life of SARs is based on actual experience of past like-term options.  Bancorp evaluates historical exercise and post-vesting termination behavior when determining the expected life.

US GAAP provides guidance on financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in tax returns.  As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $45,000 and $41,000, respectively.  If recognized, the tax benefits would reduce tax expense and accordingly, increase net income.  The amount of unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease in the future for various reasons including adding amounts for current tax year positions, expiration of open income tax returns due to statutes of limitation, changes in management’s judgment about the level of uncertainty, status of examination, litigation and legislative activity and the addition or elimination of uncertain tax positions.

During the second quarter of 2014, the IRS completed the examination of Bancorp’s 2011 corporate income tax return.  There were no significant adjustments to taxable income. Federal and state income tax returns are subject to examination for the years subsequent to 2009.

Bancorp’s policy is to report interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.  As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the amount accrued for the potential payment of interest and penalties was $3,000 and $2,000, respectively.

(15) Fair Value Measurements

Bancorp follows the provisions of the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements.  This guidance is definitional and disclosure oriented and addresses how companies should approach measuring fair value when required by US GAAP. The guidance also prescribes various disclosures about financial statement categories and amounts which are measured at fair value, if such disclosures are not already specified elsewhere in US GAAP.

The authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between participants at the measurement date.  The guidance also establishes a hierarchy to group assets and liabilities carried at fair value in three levels based upon the markets in which the assets and liabilities trade and the reliability of assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

· Level 1:  Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

30



Table of Contents

· Level 2:  Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

· Level 3:  Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions would reflect internal estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques could include pricing models, discounted cash flows and other similar techniques.

Authoritative guidance requires maximization of use of observable inputs and minimization of use of unobservable inputs in fair value measurements. Where there exists limited or no observable market data, Bancorp derives its own estimates by generally considering characteristics of the asset/liability, the current economic and competitive environment and other factors. For this reason, results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized on an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.

Bancorp’s investment securities available for sale and interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Other accounts including mortgage loans held for sale, mortgage servicing rights, impaired loans and other real estate owned may be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis, generally in the application of lower of cost or market adjustments or write-downs of specific assets.

The portfolio of investment securities available for sale is comprised of U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government obligations, debt securities of U.S. government-sponsored corporations (including mortgage-backed securities), obligations of state and political subdivisions and corporate equity securities.  Corporate equity securities, included in the 2014 table, are priced using quoted prices of identical securities in an active market.  These measurements are classified as Level 1 in the hierarchy above.  All other securities are priced using standard industry models or matrices with various assumptions such as yield curves, volatility, prepayment speeds, default rates, time value, credit rating and market prices for the instruments. These assumptions are generally observable in the market place and can be derived from or supported by observable data. These measurements are classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy above.

Interest rate swaps are valued using primarily Level 2 inputs. Fair value measurements generally based on dealer quotes, benchmark forward yield curves, and other relevant observable market data. For purposes of potential valuation adjustments to derivative positions, Bancorp evaluates the credit risk of its counterparties as well as its own credit risk. To date, Bancorp has not realized any losses due to a counterparty’s inability to perform and the change in value of derivative assets and liabilities attributable to credit risk was not significant during 2014.

Bancorp did not have any financial instruments classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

MSRs are recorded at fair value upon capitalization, are amortized to correspond with estimated servicing income, and are quarterly assessed for impairment based on fair value at the reporting date.  Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income. These measurements are classified as Level 3.  At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 there was no valuation allowance for the mortgage servicing rights, as the fair value exceeded the cost.  Accordingly, the MSRs are not included in either table below for June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or market value. The portfolio is comprised of residential real estate loans and fair value is based on specific prices of underlying contracts for sales to investors.  These measurements are classified as Level 2.  Because the fair value of the loans held for sale exceeded carrying value, mortgage loans held for sale are not included in either table below for June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Other real estate owned, which is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, is periodically assessed for impairment based on fair value at the reporting date.  Fair value is determined from external appraisals using judgments and estimates of external professionals.  Many of these inputs are not observable and, accordingly, these measurements are classified as Level 3.   At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying value of other real estate owned was $2,966,000 and $5,590,000, respectively.  Other real estate owned is not included in either table below, as the fair value of the properties exceeded their carrying value at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

For impaired loans in the table below, the fair value is calculated as the carrying value of only loans with a specific valuation allowance, less the specific allowance.  As of June 30, 2014, total impaired loans with a valuation allowance were $7.9 million, and the specific allowance totaled $1.1 million, resulting in a fair value of $6.8 million, compared to total impaired loans with a valuation allowance of $10.6 million, and the specific allowance allocation totaling $1.5 million, resulting in a fair value of $9.1 million at December 31, 2013.  The losses represent the change in the specific allowances for the period indicated.

In the case of the securities portfolio, Bancorp monitors the valuation technique utilized by pricing agencies to ascertain when transfers between levels have occurred.  The nature of the remaining assets and liabilities is such that transfers in and out of any level are expected to be rare.  For the six months ended June 30, 2014, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2, or 3.

(16) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

US GAAP requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or nonrecurring basis.  The carrying amounts, estimated fair values, and placement in the fair value heirarchy, of Bancorp’s financial instruments are as follows:

Table of Contents

Management used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate the value.

Cash, short-term investments, accrued interest receivable/payable and short-term borrowings

For these short-term instruments, carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock and other securities

For these securities without readily available market values, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Mortgage loans held for sale

The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is determined by market quotes for similar loans based on loan type, term, rate, size and the borrower’s credit score.

Loans, net

US GAAP prescribes the exit price concept for estimating fair value of loans.  Because there is not an active market (exit price) for trading virtually all types of loans in Bancorp’s portfolio, fair value of loans is estimated by discounting 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 (e.g. entrance price).

Deposits

Fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair value of fixed-rate certificates of deposits is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances

Fair value of FHLB advances is estimated by discounting future cash flows using estimates of current market rate for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit

Fair values of commitments to extend credit are estimated using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements and the creditworthiness of the customers. Fair values of standby letters of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle obligations with counterparties at the reporting date.  Fair value of commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and lines of credit is not presented since management believes the fair value to be insignificant.

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about financial instruments. Because no market exists for a significant portion of Bancorp’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected losses, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Therefore, calculated fair value estimates in many instances

35

cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realizable in a current sale of the instrument.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect estimates.

(17) Regulatory Matters

Bancorp and the Bank are subject to various capital requirements prescribed by banking regulations and administered by state and federal banking agencies. Under these requirements, Bancorp and the Bank must meet minimum amounts and percentages of Tier I and total capital, as defined, to risk weighted assets and Tier I capital to average assets. Risk weighted assets are determined by applying certain risk weightings prescribed by the regulations to various categories of assets and off-balance sheet commitments. Capital and risk weighted assets may be further subject to qualitative judgments by regulators as to components, risk weighting and other factors. Failure to meet the capital requirements can result in certain mandatory, and possibly discretionary, corrective actions prescribed by the regulations or determined to be necessary by the regulators, which could materially affect the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Bancorp and the Bank met all capital requirements to which they were subject as of June 30, 2014.

The following table sets forth consolidated Bancorp’s and the Bank’s risk based capital amounts and ratios as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

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

This item discusses the results of operations for Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp” or “Company”), and its subsidiary, Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company (“Bank”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and compares these periods with the same periods of the previous year. Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this discussion to the Bank include Bancorp. In addition, the discussion describes the significant changes in the financial condition of Bancorp and the Bank that have occurred during the first six months of 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes presented in Part 1, Item 1 of this report.

This report contains forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act that involve risks and uncertainties. Although Bancorp believes the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of these assumptions could be inaccurate. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from results discussed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to the following: economic conditions both generally and more specifically in the markets in which Bancorp and the Bank operate; competition for Bancorp’s customers from other providers of financial services; government legislation and regulation which change from time to time and over which Bancorp has no control; changes in interest rates; material unforeseen changes in liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of Bancorp’s customers; and other risks detailed in Bancorp’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Bancorp.

Overview of 2014 through June 30

Bancorp completed the first six months of 2014 with record net income of $16.2 million or 23% more than the comparable period of 2013. The increase is due primarily to higher net interest income and a lower provision for loan losses, somewhat offset by higher non-interest expenses and higher income tax expense.  Diluted earnings per share for the first six months of 2014 were $1.10, compared to the first six months of 2013 at $0.94.

As is the case with most banks, the primary source of Bancorp’s revenue is net interest income and fees from various financial services provided to customers.  Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on loans, investment securities and other interest earning assets less interest expense on deposit accounts and other interest bearing liabilities.  Loan volume and the interest rates earned on those loans are critical to overall profitability. Similarly, deposit volume is crucial to funding loans and rates paid on deposits directly impact profitability.  Business volumes are influenced by overall economic factors including market interest rates, business spending, consumer confidence and competitive conditions within the marketplace.

Net interest income increased $3,445,000, or 9.2%, for the first six months of 2014, compared to the same period in 2013.  The net interest margin was 3.77% for the first six months of 2014, compared to 3.78% for the same period in 2013.  Strong loan growth was the primary driver of increased interest income, and was partially offset by the effect of declining interest rates earned.  In the fourth quarter of 2013, Bancorp redeemed $30 million of subordinated debentures which carried a rate of 10.00%; this accounted for the majority of the interest expense savings, and contributed approximately 14 basis points to the net interest margin.  To a lesser extent, interest expense declined due to lower costs on deposits and FHLB borrowings arising from lower interest rates and a more favorable deposit mix.

Also favorably impacting 2014 results, Bancorp’s provision for loan losses was $1.7 million for the first six months of 2014, compared to $3.7 million in the first six months of 2013.  The provision for loan losses is calculated after considering credit quality factors, and ultimately relies on an overall internal analysis of the risk in the loan portfolio. Bancorp’s allowance for loan losses was 1.65% of total loans at June 30, 2014, compared to 1.66% of total loans at December 31, 2013, and 1.92% at June 30, 2013.

37



Table of Contents

Total non-interest income in the first six months of 2014 was virtually flat compared to the same period in 2013, and remained consistent at 32% of total revenues. Decreases in mortgage banking revenue and brokerage commissions were largely offset by increases in investment management and bankcard transaction revenue.  Results for the first six months of 2013 included a $449,000 gain on acquisition.

Total non-interest expense in the first six months of 2014 increased $844 thousand, or 2.5%, compared to the same period in 2013 due to increases in salaries and benefits, net occupancy, data processing and other non-interest expenses. These increases were somewhat offset by gains on sale of foreclosed assets.  Results for the first six months of 2013 included $1,548,000 of acquisition costs related to the Oldham transaction.  Bancorp’s second quarter 2014 efficiency ratio was 57.18% compared with 63.72% in the second quarter last year.  For the first six months of 2014, the efficiency ratio was 57.87%, compared to 59.85% for the same period in 2013.

Tangible common equity (TCE), a non-GAAP measure, is a measure of a company’s capital which is useful in evaluating the quality and adequacy of capital. The ratio of tangible common equity to total tangible assets was 10.00% as of June 30, 2014, compared to 9.50% at December 31, 2013.  See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section for details on reconcilement to US GAAP measures.

The following sections provide more details on subjects presented in this overview.

a) Results Of Operations

Net income of $8,034,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased $1,627,000, or 25.4%, from $6,407,000 for the comparable 2013 period.  Basic and diluted net income per share was $0.55 for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 22.2% from the $0.45 for the second quarter of 2013.

Reflecting increased net income, annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average stockholders’ equity were 1.37% and 13.35%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2014, compared to 1.16% and 11.69%, respectively, for the same period in 2013.

Record net income of $16,211,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $3,036,000, or 23.0%, from $13,175,000 for the comparable 2013 period.  Basic net income per share was $1.12 for the first six months of 2014, an increase of 19.1% from the $0.94 for the first six months of 2013.  Net income per share on a diluted basis was $1.10 for the first six months of 2014, an increase of 17.0% from the $0.94 for the first six months of 2013.

Reflecting increased net income, annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average stockholders’ equity were 1.39% and 13.74%, respectively, for the first six months of 2014, compared to 1.23% and 12.41%, respectively, for the same period in 2013.

Basic and diluted net income per share did not increase at the same rate as net income due to the issuance of 531,288 shares in the second quarter of 2013 for the Oldham transaction.  Also, Bancorp’s higher average stock price for the second quarter and first six months of 2014, as compared to the same periods in 2013, is the primary factor for more dilutive shares.  See Note 12 for additional information related to net income per share.

Net Interest Income

The following tables present the average balance sheets for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 along with the related calculation of tax-equivalent net interest income, net interest margin and net interest spread for the related periods.  See the notes following the tables for further explanation.

Table of Contents

Notes to the average balance and interest rate tables:

· Net interest income, the most significant component of the Bank’s earnings is total interest income less total interest expense. The level of net interest income is determined by the mix and volume of interest earning assets, interest bearing deposits and borrowed funds, and changes in interest rates.

· Net interest spread is the difference between the taxable equivalent rate earned on interest earning assets less the rate expensed on interest bearing liabilities.

· Net interest margin represents net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis as a percentage of average interest earning assets.  Net interest margin is affected by both the interest rate spread and the level of non-interest bearing sources of funds, primarily consisting of demand deposits and stockholders’ equity.

· Interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis includes the additional amount of interest income that would have been earned if investments in certain tax-exempt interest earning assets had been made in assets subject to federal taxes yielding the same after-tax income.  Interest income on municipal securities and loans have been calculated on a fully tax equivalent basis using a federal income tax rate of 35%.  The approximate tax equivalent adjustments to interest income were $245,000 and $254,000, respectively, for the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and $494,000 and $502,000, respectively, for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

· Average balances for loans include the principal balance of non-accrual loans and exclude participation loans accounted for as secured borrowings.

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income of $20.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased $1,671,000, or 8.7%, from $19.2 million when compared to the same period last year. Net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.69% and 3.77%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2014 and 3.58% and 3.72%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2013.

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income of $41.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $3,437,000, or 9.1%, from $37.9 million when compared to the same period last year. Net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.69% and 3.77%, respectively, for the first six months of 2014 and 3.62% and 3.78%, respectively, for the first six months of 2013.

Approximately $650 million, or 36%, of Bancorp’s loans are variable rate; most of these loans are indexed to the prime rate and may reprice as that rate changes.  However, approximately $335 million of variable rate loans have reached their contractual floor of 4% or higher.  Approximately $147 million of variable rate loans have contractual floors below 4%.  The remaining $168 million of variable rate loans have no contractual floor. Bancorp intends to establish floors whenever possible upon acquisition of new customers.  Bancorp’s variable rate loans are primarily comprised of commercial lines of credit and real estate loans.  At inception, most of Bancorp’s fixed rate loans are priced in relation to the five year Treasury bond.

Average earning assets increased $187.8 million or 9.3%, to $2.21 billion for the first six months of 2014 compared to 2013, reflecting growth in the loan portfolio and investment securities.  Average interest bearing liabilities increased $127.9 million, or 8.3%, to $1.66 billion for the first six months of 2014 compared to 2013 primarily due to increases in interest bearing demand, savings and money market deposits, FHLB advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, partially offset by decreases in long-term debt, certificates of deposits and federal funds purchased.

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk

Managing interest rate risk is fundamental for the financial services industry. The primary objective of interest rate risk management is to neutralize effects of interest rate changes on net income. By considering both on and off-balance sheet financial instruments, management evaluates interest rate sensitivity while attempting to optimize net interest income within the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity needs, market opportunities and customer requirements.

Interest Rate Simulation Sensitivity Analysis

Bancorp uses an earnings simulation model to estimate and evaluate the impact of an immediate change in interest rates on earnings in a one year forecast. The simulation model is designed to reflect the dynamics of interest earning assets, interest bearing liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments. By estimating the effects of interest rate increases and decreases, the model can reveal approximate interest rate risk exposure. The simulation model is used by management to gauge approximate results given a specific change in interest rates at a given point in time.  The model is therefore a tool to indicate earnings trends in given interest rate scenarios and does not indicate actual expected results.

The June 30, 2014 simulation analysis, which shows very little interest rate sensitivity, indicates that an increase in interest rates of 100 to 200 basis points would have a negative effect on net interest income, and a decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates would also have a negative impact. These estimates are summarized below.

Decrease 100bp

Decrease 200bp

N/A

Loans indexed to the prime rate, with floors of 4% or higher, comprise approximately 19% of total loans.  Since the prime rate is currently 3.25%, rates would have to increase more than 75 bp before the rates on such loans will rise.  This effect, captured in the simulation analysis above, negatively impacts the effect of rising rates.

The scenario of rates decreasing 200 bp is not reasonably possible given current low rates for short-term instruments and most deposits.

Undesignated derivative instruments described in Note 6 are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value, due to changes in prevailing interest rates, recorded in other non-interest income. Because of matching terms of offsetting contracts, in addition to collateral provisions which mitigate the impact of non-performance risk, changes in fair value subsequent to initial recognition have a minimal effect on earnings, and are therefore not included in the simulation analysis results above.

Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges described in Note 6 are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value, due to changes in prevailing interest rates, recorded net of tax in other comprehensive income.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1.7 million and $3.7 million for the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. The allowance for loan losses is calculated after considering credit quality factors, and ultimately relies on an overall internal analysis of the risk in the loan portfolio. Based on this analysis, provisions for loan losses are determined and recorded.  The provision reflects an allowance methodology that is driven by risk ratings, historical losses, and qualitative factors.  The levels of non-performing loans continue to decrease and many key indicators of loan quality continue to show improvement. While overall credit metrics have continued to improve, the downgrade of a large commercial and industrial lending relationship during the second quarter caused management to pause what has been a steady reduction of the allowance coverage over the past year.  Management believes that by year end there will be greater clarity regarding the ultimate risk presented by this loan. Bancorp intends to continue with its historically conservative stance toward credit quality, remaining cautious in assessing the potential risk in the loan portfolio.

Management utilizes loan grading procedures which result in specific allowance allocations for the estimated inherent risk of loss. For all loans graded, but not individually reviewed, a general allowance allocation is computed using factors typically developed over time based on actual loss experience. The specific and general allocations plus consideration of qualitative factors represent management’s best estimate of probable losses contained in the loan portfolio at the evaluation date. Although the allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific and general allocations, the entire allowance is available to absorb any credit losses.  Based on this detailed analysis of credit risk, management considers the allowance for loan losses adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at June 30, 2014.

An analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses and selected ratios for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 follows:

Total non-interest income decreased $254,000, or 2.5%, for the second quarter of 2014 and decreased $7,000, or 0% for the first six months of 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013.

Approximately 47% of non-interest income is investment management and trust revenue. The magnitude of investment management and trust revenue distinguishes Bancorp from other community banks of similar asset size. Along with the effects of improving investment market conditions in 2013 and 2014, this source of revenue continued to grow through attraction of new business and retention of existing business.  Trust assets under management totaled $2.36 billion at June 30, 2014, compared to $2.05 billion at June 30, 2013.  Investment management and trust services income increased $626,000, or 15.2%, in the second quarter of 2014, and $1,308,000, or 16.3% for the first six months, as compared to the same periods in 2013, primarily due to an increased market value of assets under management, net new business, and an increase in executor fees. Recurring fees, which generally comprise over 95% of the investment management and trust revenue, increased 12% for the second quarter and 13% for the first six months of 2014, compared to the same periods of 2013.  Most recurring fees earned for managing accounts are based on a percentage of market value on a monthly basis. While fees are based on market values, they typically do not fluctuate directly with the overall stock market, as accounts usually contain fixed income and equity asset classes, which generally react inversely to each other.  Some revenues of the investment management and trust department, most notably executor, insurance, and some employee benefit plan-related fees, are non-recurring in nature and the timing of these revenues corresponds with the related administrative activities.  Non-recurring fees, such as executor fees, increased $137,000 for the second quarter and $289,000 for the first six months of 2014, compared to the same periods of 2013.

Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $21,000, or 0.9%, in the second quarter of 2014, and increased $82,000, or 1.9%, for the first six months of 2014, as compared to the same periods in 2013.  Service charge income is driven by transaction volume, which can fluctuate throughout the year.  A significant component of service charges is related to fees earned on overdrawn checking accounts.  While this source of income has experienced a modest increase, management expects it to experience a slight downward trend over time due to anticipated changes in customer behavior and increased regulatory restrictions.

Bankcard transaction revenue increased $189,000, or 18.5%, in the second quarter of 2014, and $303,000, or 15.3% for the first six months of 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013, and primarily represents income the Bank derives from customers’ use of debit cards.  This category reflects a change in the manner in which bankcard revenue and expense are received and recorded by Bancorp, related to the selection of a new bankcard processor.  In 2013, Bancorp moved processing of its bankcard transactions to a new vendor which provides more detailed information regarding related income and expense.  As a result, beginning in mid-2013, information previously recorded as net revenue has been grossed up to more accurately reflect income and expense.  This more detailed information is not available for prior periods and thus impacts the comparability of the information on an absolute basis for revenue and expense.  It is, however, comparable on a net basis.  Bankcard income, net of bankcard expenses which are recorded in data processing expenses, was $792,000 and 746,000 for the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, and was $1,425,000 and $1,406,000 for the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The net increase in 2014 primarily reflects an increase in volume of transactions, partially offset by a decrease in the interchange rates received.  Most of this revenue is interchange income based on rates set by service providers in a competitive market. Beginning in October 2011, this rate was set by the Federal Reserve for banks with over $10 billion in assets.  While this threshold indicates Bancorp will not be directly affected, this change has affected Bancorp and other similarly sized institutions as vendors gravitate to lower cost interchanges. Volume, which is dependent on consumer behavior, is expected to increase slowly.  However, management expects interchange rates to decrease, resulting in income from this source to remain consistent with levels experienced in 2013.

Mortgage banking revenue primarily includes gains on sales of mortgage loans. Bancorp’s mortgage banking department originates residential mortgage loans to be sold in the secondary market. Interest rates on the loans sold are locked with the borrower and investor prior to closing the loans, thus Bancorp bears no interest rate risk related to these loans.  The department offers conventional, VA and FHA financing, for purchases and refinances, as well as programs for first time home buyers. Interest rates on mortgage loans directly impact the volume of business transacted by the mortgage banking division. Mortgage banking revenue decreased $473,000, or 39.6%, in the second quarter of 2014, and $1,065,000, or 44.8%, for the first six months of 2014, as compared to the same periods in 2013.  Market rates for mortgage loans increased since the first quarter of 2013, resulting in 83% lower volume of refinance activity in 2014 compared to 2013.  Declines in refinance activity reflect national trends, as fewer borrowers remain in the marketplace with incentive to refinance. Lower purchase volume due in part to severe winter conditions dampened home-buying activity throughout most of the first quarter of 2014.

In the second quarter of 2014, Bancorp sold securities with total par value of $7.4 million, generating a net loss of $9,000.  These securities consisted of mortgage-backed securities with small remaining balances, obligations of state and political subdivisions, and agency securities.  In the second quarter of 2013, Bancorp sold obligations of state and political subdivisions with total par value of $685,000, generating a loss of $5,000.These sales were made in the ordinary course of portfolio management.

Brokerage commissions and fees decreased $160,000, or 25.7%, in the second quarter of 2014, and $270,000 or 21.8% for the first six months of 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013, corresponding to overall brokerage volume.  Brokerage commissions and fees earned consist primarily of stock, bond and mutual fund sales as well as wrap fees on accounts.  Wrap fees are charges for investment programs that bundle together a suite of services, such as brokerage, advisory, research, and management, and based on a percentage of assets.  In the second quarter of 2013, brokerage staff was reduced, resulting in a decline of accounts, many of which included wrap fees.  However, after consideration of related expenses, the decline in net income for the first six months of 2014 was approximately $32,000 compared to the same period of 2013. Bancorp deploys its brokers primarily through its branch network, while larger managed accounts are serviced in the investment management and trust department.

Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) income totaled $234,000 and $259,000 for the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively, and totaled $470,000 and $511,000 for the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.  BOLI represents the cash surrender value for life insurance policies on certain key employees who have provided consent for Bancorp to be the beneficiary of a portion of such policies.  Any proceeds received under the policies and the related change in cash surrender value are recorded as non-interest income.  This income helps offset the cost of various employee benefits.

The Oldham transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration transferred were recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date.  The fair value adjustments resulted in net assets acquired in excess of the consideration paid.  Accordingly, a non-taxable gain of $449,000 was recognized in the second quarter of 2013.

Other non-interest income increased $63,000, or 15.8%, in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, and $129,000, or 17.6%, in the first six months of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, due to a variety of other factors, none of which are individually significant.

Total non-interest expenses decreased $1,121,000, or 6.0%, for the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 and increased $844,000, or 2.5%, for the first six months of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $703,000, or 7.0%, for the second quarter of 2014, and $2,164,000, or 11.0% for the first six months of 2014, as compared to the same periods of 2013, largely due to increased staffing levels, higher bonus accruals, normal increases in salaries and higher health insurance costs, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expense.  In the first quarter of 2014, Bancorp recorded an adjustment to expense related to performance stock units, decreasing stock-based compensation by $185,000.  Increased staffing levels included senior staff with higher per capita salaries in investment management and trust, lending and operational functions as well as staff increases resulting from the Oldham transaction. At June 30, 2014, Bancorp had 528 full-time equivalent employees compared to 511 at June 30, 2013.

Net occupancy expense increased $18,000, or 1.3%, in the second quarter of 2014, and $343,000, or 12.9% in the first six months of 2014, as compared to the same periods of 2013, largely due to a $150,000 non-recurring rent refund on a leased facility which lowered rent expense in the first quarter of 2013, increases in rent and depreciation expense attributable to four additional locations as a result of the Oldham transaction, and unusually high maintenance costs in 2014 related to the severe winter.

Data processing expense decreased $101,000, or 5.6% in the second quarter of 2014, and increased $103,000, or 3.2% for the first six months of 2014, compared to the same periods of 2013.  As noted above during 2013, Bancorp began recording bank card revenue and expense gross; this information was previously conveyed net.  The reported expense related to bank card activity increased $283,000 for the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 due to this change.  This is partially offset by a decrease of $126,000 for the first six months of 2014 related to processing of trust and investment management activity. This category includes ongoing computer equipment maintenance costs related to technology needed to improve the pace of delivery channels and internal resources.

Furniture and equipment expense decreased $27,000 or 9.4% for the second quarter of 2014, and $50,000, or 8.7% for the first six months of 2014, as compared to the same periods in 2013.  These fluctuations relate to a variety of factors, none of which were individually significant.  Costs of capital asset additions flow through the statement of income over the lives of the assets in the form of depreciation expense.

FDIC insurance expense decreased $7,000, or 2.0%, for the second quarter of 2014, and $15,000 or 2.1% for the first six months of 2014, as compared to the same periods in 2013. The assessment is calculated by the FDIC and adjusted quarterly.  The decline in expense is due primarily to a reduction in the assessment rate, which was driven by improved credit metrics in 2014.

Gains on other real estate owned (OREO) totaled $6,000 and $74,000 for the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively, and totaled $349,000 and $109,000 for the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Bancorp liquidated several properties at prices greater than their carrying values in the first quarter of 2014 resulting in gains on foreclosed assets.

In connection with the Oldham acquisition in 2013, Bancorp incurred $1,548,000 in expenses related to executing the transaction and integrating and conforming acquired operations with and into Bancorp. Those expenses consisted largely of conversion of systems and/or integration of operations.

Other non-interest expenses decreased $227,000 or 6.6% in the second quarter of 2014, and increased $87,000 or 1.4% for the first six months of 2014, as compared to the same periods in 2013. The year to date increase is largely due to core deposit intangible amortization which began in May 2013. This category also includes legal and professional fees, advertising, printing, mail and telecommunications, none of which had individually significant variances.

Income Taxes

In the second quarter of 2014, Bancorp recorded income tax expense of $3,627,000, compared to $2,732,000 for the same period in 2013.  The effective rate for the three month period was 31.1% in 2014 and 29.9% in 2013.  Bancorp recorded income tax expense of $7,259,000 for the first six months of 2014, compared to $5,751,000 for the same period in 2013.  The effective rate for the six month period was 30.9% in 2014 and 30.4% in 2013. See Note 14 for an analysis of the difference between the statutory and effective tax rates.

Commitments

Bancorp uses a variety of financial instruments in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  A discussion of Bancorp’s commitments is included in Note 9.

Other commitments discussed in Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, have not materially changed since that report was filed, relative to qualitative and quantitative disclosures of fixed and determinable contractual obligations.

b) Financial Condition

Balance Sheet

Total assets increased $22.1 million, or 0.9%, from $2.389 billion on December 31, 2013 to $2.411 billion on June 30, 2014.  The most significant contributor to the increase was loans, which increased $78.4 million during the first six months of 2014. Securities available for sale decreased $75.5 million, primarily a result of a decrease in the amount of short-term securities.  These securities, with maturities of 30 days or less, totaled $45 million and $110 million for June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Bancorp invests excess funds in short-term investment securities at each quarter end as part of a state tax minimization strategy. Mortgage loans held for sale increased $2.4 million, cash and due from banks

increased $22.8 million, and federal funds sold increased $1.6 million.  Other assets decreased $5.2 million, driven primarily by a $2.6 million decline in other real estate owned.

Total liabilities increased $7.9 million, or 0.4%, from $2.160 billion December 31, 2013 to $2.168 billion on June 30, 2014.  The most significant component of the increase was deposits, which increased $6.5 million or 0.33%.  Federal funds purchased increased $3.7 million, or 6.8% and Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $1.7 million or 5.06%.  Bancorp utilizes short-term lines of credit to manage its overall liquidity position, and longer term FHLB advances to manage its overall interest rate risk position.  Securities sold under agreement to repurchase decreased $6.1 million or 9.8%, while other liabilities increased $2.2 million or 8.2%.

(1) Undeveloped land consists of land initially acquired for development by the borrower, but for which no development has taken place.

Bancorp occasionally enters into loan participation agreements with other banks to diversify credit risk.  For certain sold participation loans, Bancorp has retained effective control of the loans, typically by restricting the participating institutions from pledging or selling their share of the loan without permission from Bancorp.  US GAAP requires the participated portion of these loans to be recorded as secured borrowings.  These participated loans are included in the commercial and industrial and real estate mortgage loan totals above, and a corresponding liability is recorded in other liabilities.  At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total participated portions of loans of this nature were $9.2 million and $9.4 million, respectively.

Bancorp has one relationship in its primary market which accounts for $6.7 million or 56% of total non-accrual loans at June 30, 2014.  Each of the loans in this relationship is secured predominantly by undeveloped land, and management estimates minimal additional loss exposure after consideration of collateral.   The remaining balance of non-accrual loans, totaling $5.3 million, is comprised of a larger number of borrowers with smaller balances.  Each non-accrual loan is individually evaluated for impairment in conjunction with the overall allowance methodology.

c) Liquidity

The role of liquidity management is to ensure funds are available to meet depositors’ withdrawal and borrowers’ credit demands while at the same time maximizing profitability. This is accomplished by balancing changes in demand for funds with changes in the supply of those funds. Liquidity is provided by short-term liquid assets that can be converted to cash, investment securities available for sale, various lines

50



Table of Contents

of credit available to Bancorp, and the ability to attract funds from external sources, principally deposits.  Management believes it has the ability to increase deposits at any time by offering rates slightly higher than the market rate.

Bancorp’s most liquid assets are comprised of cash and due from banks, available for sale marketable investment securities and federal funds sold.  Federal funds sold totaled $37.9 million at June 30, 2014. These investments normally have overnight maturities and are used for general daily liquidity purposes. The fair value of the available for sale investment portfolio was $414.5 million at June 30, 2014.  The portfolio includes maturities of approximately $63.7 million over the next twelve months, including $45 million of short-term securities which matured in July 2014.  Combined with federal funds sold, these offer substantial resources to meet either new loan demand or reductions in Bancorp’s deposit funding base. Bancorp pledges portions of its investment securities portfolio to secure public fund deposits, cash balances of certain investment management and trust accounts, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. At June 30, 2014, total investment securities pledged for these purposes comprised 51% of the available for sale investment portfolio, leaving $203.8 million of unpledged securities.

Bancorp has a large base of core customer deposits, defined as demand, savings, and money market deposit accounts. At June 30, 2014, such deposits totaled $1.658 billion and represented 83% of Bancorp’s total deposits. Because these core deposits are less volatile and are often tied to other products of Bancorp through long lasting relationships they do not put heavy pressure on liquidity.  However, many of Bancorp’s overall deposit balances are historically high.  When market conditions improve, these balances will likely decrease, putting some strain on Bancorp’s liquidity position.  As of June 30, 2014, Bancorp had only $1.5 million or 0.1% of total deposits, in brokered deposits.

Other sources of funds available to meet daily needs include the sales of securities under agreements to repurchase. Also, Bancorp is a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati. As a member of the FHLB, Bancorp has access to credit products of the FHLB.  Bancorp views these borrowings as a low cost alternative to other time deposits.  At June 30, 2014, the amount of available credit from the FHLB totaled $417.1 million.  Additionally, Bancorp had available federal funds purchased lines with correspondent banks totaling $45 million.

Bancorp’s principal source of cash revenues is dividends paid to it as the sole shareholder of the Bank.  At June 30, 2014, the Bank may pay up to $33.4 million in dividends to Bancorp without regulatory approval subject to the ongoing capital requirements of the Bank.

d) Capital Resources

At June 30, 2014, stockholders’ equity totaled $243.6 million, an increase of $14.2 million since December 31, 2013.  See the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity for further detail of the changes in equity since the end of 2013.  One component of equity is accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) which, for Bancorp, consists of net unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale and hedging instruments, as well as a minimum pension liability, each net of taxes. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was $1,034,000 and ($2,217,000) at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The $3,251,000 increase is primarily a reflection of the positive effect of the decreasing interest rate environment during the first six months of 2014 on the valuation of Bancorp’s portfolio of securities available for sale.

Bank holding companies and their subsidiary banks are required by regulators to meet risk based capital standards.  These standards, or ratios, measure the relationship of capital to a combination of balance sheet and off-balance sheet risks.  The values of both balance sheet and off-balance sheet items are adjusted to

reflect credit risks. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%; a Tier 1 ratio of at least 6%; and a leverage ratio of at least 5%.

Bancorp intends to maintain capital ratios at these historically high levels at least until such time as the economy demonstrates sustained improvement and to remain well positioned to pursue expansion and other opportunities that may arise.

e) Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to capital ratios defined by banking regulators, Bancorp considers various ratios when evaluating capital adequacy, including tangible common equity to tangible assets, and tangible common equity per share, all of which are non-GAAP measures.  Bancorp believes these ratios are important because of their widespread use by investors as means to evaluate capital adequacy, as they reflect the level of capital available to withstand unexpected market conditions.  Because US GAAP does not include capital ratio measures, there are no US GAAP financial measures comparable to these ratios.

f) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which outlines a single comprehensive model for use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers, and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance.  The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  The adoption of ASU 2014-09 is not expected to have a significant impact on Bancorp’s operations or financial statements.

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings and Disclosures , which changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financings to secured borrowing accounting. The ASU requires additional disclosures of transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements and information about collateral pledged in repurchase agreements.  The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014.  Because Bancorp does not utilize repurchase-to-maturity transactions or linked repurchase financings, the adoption of ASU 2014-11 is not expected to have an impact on Bancorp’s operations or financial statements.  Because Bancorp utilizes repurchase agreements, the adoption of ASU 2014-11 is expected to result in additional disclosures in Bancorp’s financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Information required by this item is included in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Bancorp maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that it is able to collect the information it is required to disclose in reports it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and to record, process, summarize and report this information within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.  Based on their evaluation of Bancorp’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this report, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers believe that these controls and procedures are effective to ensure that Bancorp is able to collect, process and disclose the information it is required to disclose in reports it files with the SEC within the required time periods.

Based on the evaluation of Bancorp’s disclosure controls and procedures by the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, there were no significant changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 in Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting.
