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 June 30, 2008, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.  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, 2007 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 six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, 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, 2007, 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.  These reclassifications had no effect on net income.

New Accounting Standards

Ø Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities – a replacement of SFAS No. 125, by requiring, in certain situations, an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract.  All separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities are required to be initially measured at fair value.  Subsequent measurement methods include the amortization method, whereby servicing assets or servicing liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income or net servicing loss or the fair value method, whereby servicing assets or servicing liabilities are measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value are reported in earnings in the period in which they occur.  If the amortization method is used, an entity must assess servicing assets or servicing liabilities for impairment or increased obligation based on the fair value at each reporting date.  Adoption of SFAS 156 on January 1, 2007 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Ø Fair Value Measurements – Effective January 1, 2008, CTBI adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances.  In this standard, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.  In support of this principle, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions.  The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted process in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Ø  Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, 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 differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments.  SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. CTBI has not elected the fair value option for any financial assets or liabilities at June 30, 2008.

Ø Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards – On June 14, 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a final consensus on Issue No. 06-11, Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards.  This consensus was ratified by FASB on June 27, 2007.  This issue states that tax benefits received on dividends paid to employees associated with their unvested stock compensation awards should be recorded in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) for awards expected to vest.  Currently, such dividends are accounted for as a permanent tax deduction reducing the annual effective income tax rate.  This issue is to be applied prospectively to dividends declared in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007.  Retrospective application of this Issue is prohibited.  Issue No. 06-11 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Ø Business Combinations (Revised 2007) The FASB recently issued SFAS 141(R), which replaces FAS 141, Business Combinations, and applies to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses.  SFAS 141R requires an acquirer, upon initially obtaining control of another entity, to recognize the assets, liabilities, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition date.  Contingent consideration is required to be recognized and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later date when the amount of that consideration may be determinable beyond a reasonable doubt.  This fair value approach replaces the cost-allocation process required under SFAS 141 whereby the cost of an acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value.  SFAS 141R requires acquirers to expense acquisition-related costs as incurred rather than allocating such costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as was previously the case under SFAS 141.  Under SFAS 141R, the requirements of SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, would have to be met in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting.  Pre-acquisition contingencies are to be recognized at fair value, unless it is a non-contractual contingency that is not likely to materialize, in which case, nothing should be recognized in purchase accounting, and instead, that contingency would be subject to the probable and estimable recognition criteria of SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies.  SFAS 141R is expected to have a significant impact on our accounting for business combinations closing on or after January 1, 2009.
 
Ø Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements EITF Issue No. 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements requires the recognition of a liability and related compensation expense for endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to post-retirement periods.  Under EITF 06-4, life insurance policies purchased for the purpose of providing such benefits do not effectively settle an entity’s obligation to the employee.  Accordingly, the entity must recognize a liability and related compensation expense during the employee’s active service period based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred during the employee’s retirement.  If the entity has agreed to provide the employee with a death benefit, then the liability for the future death benefit should be recognized by following the guidance in SFAS 106, Employer’s Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.  CTBI adopted EITF 06-4 as a change in accounting principle through a $1.8 million cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings based on the cost of insurance.

CTBI’s compensation expense related to stock option grants was $343 thousand and $339 thousand, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Restricted stock expense for the first six months of 2008 was $25 thousand.  There were no restricted stock grants made prior to the first quarter of 2008.  As of June 30, 2008, there was a total of $1.5 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 1.5 years.
 
There were no options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2008; however, there were options to purchase 74,776 shares of CTBI common stock and 11,076 shares of restricted stock granted during the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The options were granted pursuant to the terms of the 2006 Stock Ownership Incentive Plan, with an exercise price per share of $28.32 (equal to fair market value on date of grant), a term of 10 years, and vesting in five years.   The restrictions on the restricted stock will lapse at the end of five years.  However, in the event of a change in control of CTBI or the death of the participant, the restrictions will lapse.  In the event of the disability of the participant, the restrictions will lapse on a pro rata basis (with respect to 20% of the participant’s restricted stock for each year since the date of award). The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors will have discretion to review and revise restrictions applicable to a participant’s restricted stock in the event of the participant’s retirement.  There were options to purchase 109,304 shares of CTBI common stock granted during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
 
The fair values of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, were 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.
