PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
S. Y. Bancorp, Inc. ("Bancorp"), a Kentucky corporation headquartered in
Louisville, Kentucky, is a bank holding company registered with, and subject to
supervision, regulation and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System. Bancorp has two subsidiaries. Both are wholly owned and are
state chartered banks. Bancorp conducts no active business operations;
accordingly, the business of Bancorp is substantially the same as that of its
subsidiary banks.
STOCK YARDS BANK & TRUST COMPANY (KENTUCKY)
Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company (the Kentucky Bank) was originally
chartered and began operations as a state bank under the name "Stockyards Bank"
in 1904. In 1972, the Kentucky Bank was granted full trust powers and changed
its name to "Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company." The Kentucky Bank's historical
market niche has been providing commercial loans to small and mid-size
companies. As an offshoot of these commercial relationships the Kentucky Bank
also provides banking services to the owners and employees of these businesses.
In 1989, the Bank began to branch and thereby expand its retail business. The
Kentucky Bank's staff focuses on establishing and maintaining long term
relationships with customers. The Kentucky Bank engages in a wide range of
commercial and personal banking activities, including the usual acceptance of
deposits for checking, savings and time deposit accounts; making of secured and
unsecured loans; issuance of letters of credit; and rental of safe deposit
boxes. The Kentucky Bank's lending services include the making of commercial,
industrial, real estate, consumer and guaranteed student loans. Interest and
fees on consumer, real estate and commercial loans constitute the largest
contribution to the Kentucky Bank's operating revenues. In addition, the
Kentucky Bank offers Visa credit card services through an agreement with a
non-affiliated bank. Customers of the Kentucky Bank have access to automatic
teller machines through a regional network. The Kentucky Bank operates a
mortgage company as a division of the Bank. This division originates residential
mortgage loans and sells the loans in the secondary market. The mortgage
division provides customers with a variety of options for home mortgages,
including VA and FHA financing. The Kentucky Bank provides a wide range of
personal and corporate trust services. Assets under management in the investment
management and trust department totaled approximately $630,000,000 at December
31, 1997. In 1996 the Kentucky Bank began offering full service brokerage
products through an affiliation with Robert Thomas Securities, Inc.
The Kentucky Bank actively competes on the local and regional levels with
other commercial banks and financial institutions for all types of deposits,
loans, trust accounts, and provides financial and other services. Many of the
banks and other financial institutions with which this bank competes have
capital and resources substantially in excess of the capital and resources of
the Kentucky Bank. While primarily serving Jefferson County, Kentucky, the
Kentucky Bank also serves customers residing in the adjacent Kentucky counties
of Oldham, Shelby and Bullitt and in southern Indiana.
The Kentucky Bank has nine banking centers including the main office. Some
of these locations are owned while others are leased. See "ITEM 2. PROPERTIES."
STOCK YARDS BANK & TRUST COMPANY (INDIANA)
In 1996, Bancorp acquired the Austin State Bank in Scott County, Indiana
(the Indiana Bank). This acquisition has allowed Bancorp to establish banking
operations in southern Indiana, a natural part of the Louisville, Kentucky
metropolitan area. This bank has been in operation since 1909 and was family
owned until the acquisition by Bancorp. Until the change of ownership, the bank
offered very limited lending products, as well as checking and savings accounts.
The Indiana Bank now offers the same products as the Kentucky Bank. While the
name of this bank has been changed to Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company, the bank
has retained its Indiana charter. Management continues to evaluate the benefits
of operating the Indiana Bank as a branch of the Kentucky Bank rather than as a
subsidiary of Bancorp. The Indiana Bank
3
opened a branch in Clarksville, Indiana in 1997. The Indiana Bank has two
banking centers including the main office. See "Item 2, Properties."
At December 31, 1997, the Banks had 250 full-time equivalent employees.
Employees are not subject to a collective bargaining agreement. Bancorp and the
Banks consider their relationships with employees to be good.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
GENERAL
Financial institutions and their holding companies are extensively regulated
under federal and state laws. As a result, the business, financial condition and
prospects of Bancorp and its subsidiaries can be materially affected not only by
management decisions and general economic conditions but also by legislative and
governmental actions of Congress and the various federal and state regulatory
agencies with jurisdiction over Bancorp and the Banks, such as the Federal
Reserve Bank ("FRB"), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the
Kentucky and Indiana Departments of Financial Institutions. The effect of
applicable statutes, regulations and policies can be significant, cannot be
predicted with a high degree of certainty, and can change over time.
Bank holding companies and banks are subject to enforcement actions by their
regulators for statutory and regulatory violations and safety and soundness
considerations. In addition to compliance with statutory and regulatory
limitations and requirements concerning financial, managerial and operating
matters, regulated financial institutions such as Bancorp and the Banks must
file periodic and other reports and information with their regulators and are
subject to examination by each of their regulators.
The statutory requirements applicable to, and regulatory supervision of,
bank holding companies and banks have increased significantly and have undergone
substantial change in recent years. These changes are embodied in, among others,
the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA"), enacted in August 1989, the Federal Insurance Corporation
Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), enacted in December 1991, the Riegle
Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 (the "Community
Development Act") and the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching
Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "IBBEA"), the last two of which were enacted in
September 1994, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Many of the
regulations promulgated pursuant to FDICIA have only recently been finalized,
and the provisions of the Community Development Act and IBBEA are still being
implemented. As a result, the impact of these new laws on Bancorp and the Banks
cannot be predicted with certainty.
Legislation may be introduced from time to time that could, if enacted, have
significant impact on the operations of Bancorp and its subsidiaries. Congress
is considering legislation to broaden the powers of bank holding companies and
permit other financial service companies to own banks. Legislation also has been
introduced in the Congress to restructure the federal bank regulatory system.
Although the Secretary of Treasury of the United States and the Chairman of the
FRB have previously expressed support for restructuring the federal bank
regulatory system, there can be no certainty as to the effect, if any, that such
legislation would have on the regulation of Bancorp or the Banks.
The following discussions and other references to and descriptions of the
regulation of financial institutions and their parent holding companies
contained herein are not intended to constitute and do not purport to be a
complete statement of all legal restrictions and requirements applicable to
Bancorp and the Banks. All such descriptions are qualified in their entirety by
reference to applicable statutes, regulations and policies.

REGULATION OF BANK HOLDING COMPANIES
Bancorp is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956, as amended. As such, Bancorp is subject to regulation, supervision
and examination by the FRB. The business and affairs of Bancorp are regulated in
a variety of ways, including limitations on acquiring control of other banks and
bank holding companies, limitations on activities and investments, regulatory
capital requirements and limitations on payment of dividends. In addition, it is
the FRB's policy that a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of
financial strength to banks that it owns or controls and, as a result, the FRB
could require Bancorp to commit resources to support the Banks in circumstances
in which Bancorp might not do so absent the FRB's policy.
Federal Reserve examiners began in 1996 to assign a formal supervisory
rating to the adequacy of a bank holding company's and its member bank's risk
management processes, including internal controls. The emphasis on sound risk
management processes and strong internal controls reflects the Federal Reserve's
view that proper risk management is critical to the conduct of safe and sound
banking activities.
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The FRB has adopted minimum risk-based capital standards for bank holding
companies. The FRB requires bank holding companies to maintain certain minimum
ratios of risk-weighted capital to total risk-adjusted assets. A bank holding
company must meet two risk-based capital standards, a "core" or "Tier 1" capital
requirement and a total capital requirement. The current regulations require
that a bank holding company maintain Tier 1 capital equal to 4% of risk-adjusted
assets and total capital equal to 8% of risk-adjusted assets, at least one-half
of which must be Tier 1 capital. Tier 1 capital consists of common stockholders'
equity; qualifying noncumulative perpetual preferred stock; qualifying
cumulative perpetual preferred stock (up to 25% of total Tier 1 capital); and
minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries. Core
capital excludes goodwill and certain other intangible assets.
Total capital represents the sum of Tier 1 capital plus "Tier 2" capital,
less certain deductions. Tier 2 or "supplementary" capital consists, subject to
certain limitations, of the allowance for loan and lease losses; perpetual
preferred stock; hybrid capital instruments; perpetual debt; mandatory
convertible debt securities; term subordinated debt; and intermediate term
preferred stock. In determining total capital, a bank holding company must
deduct its investments in unconsolidated banking and finance subsidiaries and,
as determined by the FRB on a case by case basis, other designated subsidiaries
or associated companies; reciprocal holdings of certain securities of banking
organizations; and other deductions required by regulation or determined by the
FRB on a case by case basis.
The FRB also has established a minimum leverage ratio requirement for bank
holding companies. The leverage ratio, which is defined as Tier 1 capital
divided by average quarterly assets (net of allowance for losses and goodwill),
is 3% for banking organizations that do not anticipate significant growth and
that have well-diversified risk, excellent asset quality, high liquidity and
good earnings. Banking organizations, however, generally are expected to operate
well above these minimum risk-based ratios and are expected to have ratios of at
least 100 to 200 basis points above the stated minimum, depending upon their
particular condition and growth plans. Higher capital ratios could be required
if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profile of a given banking
organization. The FRB has not advised Bancorp of any specific minimum Tier 1
leverage ratio applicable to it.
As of December 31, 1997, Bancorp had Tier 1 and total risk-based capital
ratios of 9.70% and 11.04%, respectively, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.57%.
The failure of a bank holding company to meet its risk-weighted capital
ratios may result in supervisory action, as well as an inability to obtain
approval of any regulatory applications and, potentially, increased frequency of
examination. The nature and intensity of the supervisory action will depend upon
the level of noncompliance.
5
Risk-based capital ratios which focus principally on broad categories of
credit risk are only one indicator of the overall financial health of a bank
organization. They do not incorporate other factors that can affect Bancorp's
financial condition, such as overall interest rate risk exposure, liquidity,
funding and market risks, the quality and level of earnings, investment or loan
portfolio concentrations, the quality of loans and investments, the
effectiveness of loan and investment policies and management's ability to
monitor and control financial and operating risks.
REGULATION OF BANKS
The Banks are state chartered and subject to regulation, supervision and
examination by the Kentucky and Indiana Departments of Financial Institutions,
respectively. The deposit accounts of the Banks are insured up to applicable
limits by the FDIC's Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF"). Thus, the Banks are also
subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the FDIC. In certain
instances, the statutes administered and regulations promulgated by certain of
these agencies are more stringent than those of other agencies with
jurisdiction. In these instances, the Banks must comply with the more stringent
restrictions, prohibitions or requirements.
The business and affairs of the Banks are regulated in a variety of ways.
Regulations apply to, among other things, insurance of deposit accounts, the
Banks' capital ratios, payment of dividends, liquidity requirements, the nature
and amount of the investments that the Banks may make, transactions with
affiliates, community and consumer lending, internal policies and controls,
reporting by and examination of the Banks and changes in control of the Banks.
The federal bank regulators have recently adopted an interest rate risk
component to the risk capital requirements to assess the exposure of banks to
declines in the economic value of the bank's capital due to changes in interest
rates.
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
FDIC regulations establish three minimum capital standards for insured state
banks. The Banks' capital ratios are computed in a manner substantially similar
to the manner in which bank holding company capital ratios are determined. The
FDIC capital requirements are minimum requirements and higher levels of capital
will be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profile of
an individual bank.
FDICIA provides the federal banking regulators with broad power to take
"prompt corrective action" to resolve the problems of undercapitalized
institutions. The extent of the regulators' powers depends on whether the
institution in question is "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized,"
"undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically
undercapitalized". Under regulations adopted by the federal banking regulators,
a bank is considered "well capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital
ratio of 10% or greater, has a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater,
has a leverage ratio of 5% or greater and is not subject to any order or written
directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level. An "adequately
capitalized" bank is defined as one that has a total risk-based capital ratio of
8% or greater, has a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater, has a
leverage ratio of 4% or greater (or 3% or greater in the case of a bank with the
highest composite regulatory examination rating that is not experiencing or
anticipating significant growth) and does not meet the definition of a well
capitalized bank. A bank would be considered "undercapitalized" if it has a
total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital
ratio of less than 4% or a leverage ratio of less than 4% (or 3% in the case of
a bank with the highest composite regulatory examination rating that is not
experiencing or anticipating significant growth); "significantly
undercapitalized" if the bank has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than
6%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage ratio of
less than 3%; and "critically undercapitalized" if the bank has a ratio of
tangible equity to total assets of equal to or less than 2%. The appropriate
federal banking regulator may downgrade a bank to the next lower category if the
regulator determines after notice and opportunity for hearing or response, that
the bank is in an unsafe or unsound
6
condition or that the bank has received (and not corrected) a
less-than-satisfactory rating for any of the categories of asset quality,
management, earnings or liquidity in its most recent exam.
As of December 31, 1997, the Banks qualified as "well capitalized." The
Kentucky Bank had total risk-based capital ratio of 10.94%, Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio of 9.60% and leverage ratio of 7.70%. The Indiana Bank had total
risk-based capital ratio of 30.14%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 30.08%
and leverage ratio of 12.33%.
Depending upon the capital category to which an institution is assigned, the
regulators' corrective powers, many of which are mandatory in certain
circumstances, include a prohibition on capital distributions by the institution
if, after making the distribution, it would be undercapitalized; prohibition on
payment of management fees to controlling persons; requiring the submission of a
capital restoration plan; placing limits on asset growth; limiting acquisitions,
branching or new lines of business; requiring the institution to issue
additional capital stock (including additional voting stock) or to be acquired;
restricting transactions with affiliates; restricting the interest rates that
the institution may pay on deposits; ordering a new election of directors of the
institution; requiring that senior executive officers or directors be dismissed;
prohibiting the institution from accepting deposits from correspondent banks;
requiring the institution to divest certain subsidiaries; requiring the holding
company to divest the institution or other non-banking subsidiaries; prohibiting
the holding company from making any distributions without FRB approval;
prohibiting the payment of principal or interest on subordinated debt; and,
ultimately, appointing a receiver for the institution.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The purpose of this discussion is to provide information as to the analysis
of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of S.Y.
Bancorp, Inc. (Bancorp) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Stock Yards Bank &
Trust Company, a Kentucky Bank, and Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company, an Indiana
Bank (the Banks). This discussion should be read in conjunction with Bancorp's
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and other schedules
presented elsewhere in this report.
ACQUISITION
In October, 1996, Bancorp completed the acquisition of the Indiana Bank.
Bancorp purchased 100% of the common stock of the Indiana Bank for a total
purchase price of $2,803,000 including acquisition costs of $128,000. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. Results of operations of the
Indiana Bank subsequent to the acquisition date are included in the consolidated
statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows.
Goodwill related to the acquisition of $1,041,000 is being amortized over
fifteen years. Amortization of goodwill decreased net income by $69,000 in 1997
and $12,000 in 1996. Goodwill is expected to decrease net income by $69,000 per
year for the remainder of the amortization period.
Management's primary intent in this acquisition was to be able to establish
banking operations in southern Indiana. Clarksville, Jeffersonville and New
Albany are a natural part of Bancorp's market. The Indiana Bank established a
branch in Clarksville during 1997.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income was $6,534,000 or $1.92 per share on a diluted basis in 1997.
This compares to $5,179,000 or $1.54 per share and $4,056,000 or $1.22 per share
in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase in 1997
9
earnings was attributable to several factors, the most notable of which were net
interest income and non-interest income growth. Earnings include a 18.9%
increase in fully taxable equivalent net interest income and a 32.6% increase in
non-interest income. All components of non-interest income increased. Partially
offsetting the overall income increases were increases in non-interest expenses
of 22.1%. Non-interest expenses increased in all categories. These increases are
primarily related to continued expansion of Bancorp's banking center network.
The following paragraphs provide a more detailed analysis of the significant
factors affecting operating results.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, the most significant component of Bancorp's earnings,
is total interest income less total interest expense. Net interest spread is the
difference between the taxable equivalent rate earned on average interest
earning assets and the rate expensed on average interest bearing liabilities.
Net interest margin represents net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis
as a percentage of average 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. The
level of net interest income is determined by the mix and volume of interest
earning assets, interest bearing deposits and borrowed funds, and by changes in
interest rates. The discussion that follows is based on tax equivalent interest
data.
Net interest income was $19,899,000, $16,732,000 and $14,783,000 for 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively. This represents a 18.9% increase for 1997 over 1996
and a 13.2% increase for 1996 over 1995. These improvements in net interest
income resulted from an increase in average earning assets offset by a slight
decline in net interest spread. Average earning assets increased $75,737,000 to
$407,089,000 in 1997 and increased $53,885,000 to $331,352,000 in 1996.
Net interest spread and net interest margin were 4.06% and 4.89%,
respectively, in 1997 and 4.16% and 5.05%, respectively in 1996. The Banks'
prime lending rate was 8.50% and 8.25% at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. It did not change during 1997. Average rates earned on earning
assets decreased 13 basis points, and average rates paid on interest bearing
liabilities decreased 3 basis points when comparing 1997 to 1996.

The following table provides information about Bancorp's derivative
financial instruments and other financial instruments that are sensitive to
changes in interest rates. For loans, securities and liabilities with
contractual maturities, the table presents principal cash flows and weighted
average interest rates as well as Bancorp's experience of the impact of interest
rate fluctuations on the prepayment of mortgage-backed securities. For deposits
that have no contractual maturity (non interest bearing checking, interest
bearing checking and savings), the table presents information regarding the most
likely withdrawal behaviors. This information is based on Bancorp's historical
experience and management's judgments. For interest rate caps and floors, the
table presents notional amounts. Notional amounts are used to calculate the
contractual payments to be exchanged under the contracts.

As interest rates change in the market, rates earned on assets do not
necessarily move identically with rates paid on liabilities. Proper asset and
liability management involves the matching of interest sensitive assets and
liabilities to reduce interest rate risk. The Banks manage interest rate risk by
adjusting the mix of fixed rate loans and securities against longer term fixed
rate time deposits.

The following table presents the increases in net interest income due to
changes in volume and rate computed on a tax equivalent basis and indicates how
net interest income in 1997 and 1996 was impacted by volume increases and the
lower average interest rate environment. The tax equivalent adjustments are
based on a 34% tax rate. The change in interest due to both rate and volume has
been allocated to the change due to volume and change due to rate in proportion
to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
In determining the provision for loan losses charged to expense, management
carefully considers many factors. Among these are the quality of the loan
portfolio, previous loss experience, the size and composition of the loan
portfolio and an assessment of the impact of current economic conditions on
borrowers. Responding to these factors, management provided $1,000,000 in 1997.
The provision for loan losses was $800,000 in 1996 and $1,260,000 in 1995. At
December 31, 1997, the allowance for loan losses was 1.60% of year-end loans
compared to 1.71% at December 31, 1996. Charge-off history has been well below
industry averages, and management's evaluations indicated a provision of
$1,000,000 to be sufficient to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an
adequate level.
The Banks' loan portfolios continue to be diversified with no significant
concentrations of credit. Geographically, most loans are extended to borrowers
in the Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan area. The adequacy of the allowance is
monitored on an ongoing basis and it is the opinion of management that the
12
balance of the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1997, is adequate to
absorb anticipated losses in the loan portfolio as of this date.
NON-INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSES
Non-interest income increased by 32.6% in 1997 as compared to 1996, and
23.8% in 1996 as compared to 1995.
The largest component of non-interest income is investment management and
trust fee income which increased 38.8% in 1997, 15.1% in 1996 and 38.6% in 1995.
The investment management and trust department has established a reputation of
personalized service and superior investment returns. Assets under management,
through customer retention and attraction of new business, grew to $632 million
as of December 31, 1997 as compared to $470 million as of December 31, 1996.
Growth in the department's assets include both personal and employee benefit
accounts. Furthermore, the department assumed responsibility for managing the
Banks' securities portfolio during 1996. The assets under management reported
above include $60 million of the Banks' investment securities as of December 31,
1997 and $46 million as of December 31, 1996.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased 24.8% over 1996. Growth in
deposit accounts, arising primarily from new banking locations, presented
opportunities for increased fee income in this area. Rates for some deposit
services were raised in the third quarter of 1996; however, the vast majority of
the increase is due to account volume.
The Kentucky Bank operates a mortgage banking company. This department
originates residential mortgage loans and sells the loans in the secondary
market. The department offers conventional, VA and FHA financing as well as a
program for low income first time home buyers. Loans are made for both purchase
and refinancing of homes. Virtually all loans originated by the mortgage banking
company are sold in the secondary market with servicing rights released. Gains
on sales of mortgage loans were $1,077,000 in 1997 as compared to $1,016,000 and
$736,000 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. Interest rates on conventional mortgage
loans directly impact the volume of business transacted by the mortgage banking
department. Falling rates in 1995 stimulated the volume of loans originated.
With relatively stable interest rates during 1996 and 1997, growth in those
years has been due more to the mortgage company's expanding reputation. Profit
margins in the mortgage banking industry have been shrinking over the last two
to three years making increasing volumes a focus. Also the mortgage company
helps support the corporate philosophy of capitalizing on relationships rather
than single transactions.
Other non-interest income increased in 1997 as compared to 1996 by $403,000
or 67.5% and $137,000 or 29.8% in 1996 compared to 1995. The increases are due
to several contributing factors, the largest of which is the addition of a
brokerage services department during 1996. Brokerage services fees totaled
$226,000 and $65,000 in 1997 and 1996, respectively. Through an account
executive with Robert Thomas Securities, Inc., bank customers have convenient
access to a full service brokerage company. Products available include stocks,
government and corporate bonds, annuities, mutual funds and insurance. Services
include asset management and investment advice. Having these products and
services readily available enables customers to find solutions to most all of
their financial needs in one location.
Total non-interest expenses increased 22.1% in 1997 over 1996, and 15.1% in
1996 over 1995.
Salaries and employee benefits, the largest non-interest expense category,
increased 24.9% in 1997 and 17.7% in 1996. These increases occurred primarily
from regular salary increases and new employees added to support expansion. As
of December 31, 1997, the Banks had 250 full time equivalent employees (FTEs).
As of December 31, 1996, that total was 220 FTEs. Additionally, a performance
incentive program is in place, and increasing earnings have qualified certain
bank employees for incentive compensation. Further, as salary expense increases,
so do corresponding employee benefit expenses. It should be noted there are no
significant obligations for post-retirement or post-employment benefits.
13
Net occupancy expense increased 16.4% in 1997 and 6.5% in 1996. Occupancy
expenses have increased as Bancorp has continued its expansion plans. In 1997,
the Kentucky Bank and Indiana Bank each completed the construction of and opened
one banking center. The Kentucky Bank has nine banking center locations
including the main office. All are in the Louisville area. The Indiana Bank has
two locations. Furniture and equipment expense increased 13.6% in 1997 compared
to 1996 and 22.4% in 1996 compared to 1995. Investments in computer technology
have resulted in significant increases over the last several years.
Other non-interest expenses increased 20.6% in 1997 and 9.2% in 1996. The
increase in both years largely related to Bancorp's expansion. Among costs which
increased significantly were delivery, communication and supplies. Management
continues to identify cost containment opportunities where expense reductions
can be made without sacrificing the level of service to customers.
INCOME TAXES
Bancorp had income tax expense of $2,873,000 in 1997 compared to $2,442,000
in 1996 and $1,900,000 in 1995. The effective rates were 30.5%, 32.0% and 31.9%,
respectively. With a statutory tax rate of 34.0%, the effective rates reflect
tax exempt interest income.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
EARNING ASSETS AND INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES
Total consolidated assets of Bancorp at December 31, 1997 increased 15.2%
over December 31, 1996 to $478,597,000. Average assets for 1997 increased 23.8%
over 1996 to $437,037,000. During 1997, Bancorp increased its net average
earning assets to $72,082,000 from $62,693,000 during 1996.
The growth of average earning assets occurred primarily in the area of
loans. Loan demand continued to increase during 1997. Commercial and industrial
loans increased 14.3%. Construction and development loans decreased 4.6%. Real
estate mortgage loans increased 30.8%. Consumer loans increased 24.3%.
Regarding derivative financial instruments as defined by SFAS No. 119,
"Disclosures About Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," at December 31, 1997 the Kentucky Bank held an interest rate
collar contract as described in the maturity table under the heading "Net
Interest Income." In addition, the Kentucky Bank has, in its portfolio of
securities, FHLMC and FNMA issued collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs)
with a carrying value of approximately $16,826,000. Management monitors these
securities on an ongoing basis and has determined these not to be high risk.
With respect to the total portfolio of securities held to maturity, market value
exceeded amortized cost at December 31, 1997 by 1.1%. At December 31, 1996,
amortized cost exceeded market value by .4%.
Growth of average interest bearing liabilities occurred in all categories
other than money market deposit accounts. With lower interest rates over the
last three years, some depositors have chosen to shift money market funds to
time deposit accounts. Average time deposits increased 28% in 1997 from the 1996
average. Interest bearing demand deposits increased 55% and savings accounts
averaged 15% higher in 1997 as compared to 1996. Overall, average interest
bearing deposits increased 25% in 1997. Average balances of securities sold
under agreements to repurchase decreased slightly in 1996. Commercial depositors
have the opportunity to enter into a sweep agreement whereby excess demand
deposit balances are transferred to a separate account. This balance is then
used to purchase securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Of the total
securities sold under agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased
caption, the 1997 average balance for federal funds purchased was $1,927,000.

NONPERFORMING LOANS AND ASSETS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Nonperforming loans, which include nonaccrual loans and restructured loans,
totaled $290,000 and $854,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
threshold at which loans are generally transferred to nonaccrual of interest
status is 90 days past due, and at December 31, 1997, there were no accruing
loans which were past due over 90 days which were not well secured and in the
process of collection. Nonperforming loans represent .08% of total loans at year
end 1997 compared to .28% in 1996.
Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans, other real estate and
repossessed assets. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, nonperforming assets totaled
$290,000 and $1,129,000, respectively. This represents .06% of total assets at
year end 1997 compared to .27% in 1996.
In addition to the nonperforming loans discussed above, there were loans for
which payments were current or less than 90 days past due where borrowers are
experiencing significant financial difficulties. These loans of approximately
$5,275,000 are monitored by management and considered in determining the level
of the allowance for loan losses. Management feels these loans present no
significant loss exposure. The allowance for loan losses is discussed in detail
under the heading "Provision for Loan Losses."
17
The following table summarizes impaired loans (1997, 1996 and 1995),
nonaccrual, restructured and past due loans. Loans are placed in a nonaccrual
income status when, in the opinion of management, the prospects for recovering
both principal and accrued interest are considered doubtful.

Interest income recorded on nonaccrual loans (cash basis) for 1997 totaled
$2,000. Interest income that would have been recorded if nonaccrual loans were
on a current basis in accordance with their original terms was $25,300.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
An allowance for loan losses has been established to provide for loans which
may not be repaid in entirety. Loan losses arise primarily from the loan
portfolio, but may also be generated from other sources such as commitments to
extend credit, guarantees, and standby letters of credit. The allowance for loan
losses is increased by provisions charged to expense and decreased by
charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans are charged off by management when deemed
uncollectible; however, collection efforts continue and future recoveries may
occur.
The allowance is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to
cover losses that are currently anticipated. Factors considered include past
loss experience, general economic conditions, and information about specific
borrower situations including financial position and collateral values.
Estimating the risk of loss and amount of loss on any loan is subjective and
ultimate losses may vary from current estimates. Estimates are reviewed
periodically and adjustments are reported in income through the provision for
loan losses in the periods in which they become known. The adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses is monitored by the internal loan review staff and
reported to management and the Board of Directors. In addition, various
regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the adequacy of Bancorp's allowance for loan losses. Such
agencies may require Bancorp to make additional provisions to the allowance
based upon their judgements about information available to them at the time of
their examinations. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is
adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible.

DEPOSITS AND BORROWED FUNDS
Bancorp's core deposits consist of non-interest and interest-bearing demand
deposits, savings deposits, certificates of deposit under $100,000, certain
certificates of deposit over $100,000 and IRAs. These deposits, along with other
borrowed funds are used by Bancorp to support its asset base. By borrowing money
from the least costly sources and adjusting rates offered to depositors, Bancorp
is able to influence the amounts of deposits and borrowed funds needed to meet
its funding requirements. The average amount of deposits in the Bank and average
rates paid on such deposits for the years indicated are summarized as follows:

LIQUIDITY
The role of liquidity 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 to meet the demand is
provided by maturing assets, short-term liquid assets that can be converted to
cash and the ability to attract funds from external sources, principally
depositors. Due to the nature of services offered by the Banks, management
prefers to focus on transaction accounts and full service relationships with
customers. Management believes it has the ability to increase deposits at any
time by offering rates slightly higher than the market rate. The Indiana Bank
has begun to build market share in southern Indiana with the opening of the
Clarksville branch in 1997.
The Banks have a number of sources of funds to meet liquidity needs on a
daily basis. An increase in loans affects liquidity as the repayment of
principal and interest are a daily source of funds. The deposit base, consisting
of consumer and commercial deposits and large dollar denomination ($100,000 and
over) certificates of deposit, is another source of funds. The majority of these
deposits are from long-term customers and are a stable source of funds. The
Banks have no brokered deposits, and have an insignificant amount of deposits on
which the rate paid exceeded the market rate by more than 50 basis points when
the account was established. In addition, federal funds purchased continue to
provide an available source of liquidity, although this source is seldom needed.
Other sources of funds available to meet daily needs include the sales of
securities under agreements to repurchase and funds made available under a
treasury tax and loan note agreement with the federal government. Also, the
Kentucky Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB). As
a member of the FHLB, the Bank has access to credit products of the FHLB. To
date, the
21
Bank has not needed to access this source of funds. Additionally, the Kentucky
Bank has an available line of credit and federal funds purchased lines with
correspondent banks.
Bancorp's liquidity depends primarily on the dividends paid to it as the
sole shareholder of the Banks. As discussed in note 15 to Bancorp's consolidated
financial statements, the Banks may pay up to $8,432,000 in dividends to Bancorp
without regulatory approval.
CAPITAL
At December 31, 1997, stockholders' equity totaled $36,917,000, an increase
of $5,323,000 or 16.8% over 1996. This increase was due to the strong earnings
of 1997 coupled with a philosophy to retain approximately 70% to 80% of earnings
in equity. Cash dividends declared were $.48 per share in 1997 and $.40 per
share in 1996.
In August, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a 2-for-1 stock split to be
effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend. The new shares were distributed
in September 1996. In September 1994 and 1993, the Board of Directors declared
10% stock dividends which were distributed in November, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. These capital changes were made to enhance shareholder value by
increasing the shares of Bancorp's stock outstanding and to adjust the market
price of the stock. Per share information has been restated to reflect the stock
split and stock dividends.
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 value of both balance sheet and off balance sheet items are adjusted
to reflect credit risks.
At December 31, 1997, Bancorp's tier 1 and total risk based capital ratios
were 9.7% and 11.0%, respectively. These ratios exceed the 4.0% tier 1 and 8.0%
total risk based capital minimums. A minimum leverage ratio, adopted by the
Federal Reserve Board to assist in the assessment of capital adequacy,
supplements the risk based capital requirements. The minimum leverage ratio is
3.0%; however, most bank holding companies are required to maintain a minimum in
excess of that amount. Bancorp's leverage ratio at December 31, 1997 was 7.6%.
Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements provides more details of
regulatory capital requirements as well as capital ratios of the Banks. Bancorp
and the Banks exceed regulatory capital ratios required to be well capitalized.
However, these ratios for Bancorp and the Kentucky Bank have decreased over the
last several years as assets have grown more quickly than equity. Management
considers the effects of growth on capital ratios as it contemplates plans for
expansion.
The following table presents various key financial ratios:

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS EFFECTIVE IN 1998
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set
of general-purpose financial statements. Also, in June 1997, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information." This statement requires reporting of
certain information about operating segments. Both statements are effective in
1998.
22
YEAR 2000
Bancorp has undertaken a company wide evaluation of the effects Year 2000
will have on its information system and other important aspects of its business.
Bancorp's program has five phases: awareness, assessment, renovation, validation
and implementation. The Year 2000 project has advanced to the last three phases
and should have Bancorp substantially Year 2000 compliant by mid 1999. The Year
2000 project coordinator and committee reports to the Board of Directors with
regard to the project plan and status. Costs to prepare for the Year 2000
include new hardware and software, internal staff costs and some consulting.
Because Bancorp has made recent large investments in upgrades of hardware and
software, management does not anticipate significant incremental information
systems costs related to the Year 2000. Bancorp recorded expense related to the
Year 2000 of $60,000 in 1997 and management anticipates incurring a similar
total for 1998. Management is addressing the matter of loan collectibility as it
relates to customers' accounting, manufacturing and other systems. Customers'
non compliance with Year 2000 issues could adversely affect their ability to
service their debt. Creditworthiness of customers will now include an evaluation
of their compliance with Year 2000 issues.

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of S.Y. Bancorp,
Inc. (Bancorp) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Stock Yards Bank & Trust
Company, a Kentucky Bank and Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company, an Indiana Bank
(the Banks). Significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been
eliminated in consolidation. The Banks engage in commercial and retail banking
services, trust and investment management services, and mortgage banking
services. The Kentucky Bank's offices are located throughout Louisville and
Jefferson County, Kentucky. The Indiana Bank has two offices in southern
Indiana. Bancorp's market area is Louisville and surrounding communities
including southern Indiana.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management 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 those estimates.
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
For purposes of reporting cash flows, Bancorp considers cash and due from
banks to be cash equivalents.
SECURITIES
Securities which are intended to be held until maturity are carried at
amortized cost. Securities available for sale include securities which may be
sold in response to changes in interest rates, resultant prepayment risk and
other factors related to interest rate and prepayment risk changes. Securities
available for sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses,
net of tax effect, included in stockholders' equity. Amortization of premiums
and accretion of discounts are recorded using the interest method. Gains or
losses on sales of securities are computed on a specific identification cost
basis.
MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or
market value. Gains on sales of mortgage loans are recorded at the time of
funding by an investor at the difference between the sales proceeds and the
loan's carrying value.
LOANS
Loans are stated at the unpaid principal balance net of deferred loan fees.
Interest income on loans is recorded on the accrual basis except for those loans
in a nonaccrual income status. Loans are placed in a nonaccrual income status
when the prospects for recovering both principal and accrued interest are
considered doubtful or when a default of principal or interest has existed for
90 days or more unless such a loan is well secured and in the process of
collection. Interest received on nonaccrual loans is generally applied to
principal. Nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual status once principal
recovery is reasonably assured.
Loans are classified as impaired when it is probable the Bank(s) will be
unable to collect interest and principal according to the terms of the loan
agreement. These loans are measured based on the present value of future cash
flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or at the fair value of
the loan's collateral, if applicable. Generally, impaired loans are also in
nonaccrual of interest status.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that adequately
provides for potential losses. Management determines the adequacy of the
allowance based on reviews of individual credits, recent loss experience,
current economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the various categories
of loans and such
28
other factors that, in management's judgement, deserve current recognition in
estimating loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the
provision for loan losses and reduced by net loan charge-offs.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation
and amortization. Depreciation of premises and equipment is computed using both
accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over
the terms of the related leases or over the useful lives of the improvements,
whichever is shorter.
OTHER ASSETS
Goodwill is included in other assets and is being amortized over 15 years.
Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $81,000 and $12,000,
respectively. Bancorp assesses the recoverability of this intangible asset by
determining whether the goodwill balance can be recovered over its remaining
life. Undiscounted future operating cash flows of the acquired business are
considered. The amount of goodwill impairment, if any, is measured based on
projected discounted future operating cash flows using a discount rate
reflecting Bancorp's average cost of funds. Also included in other assets, when
applicable, is real estate acquired in settlement of loans. Other real estate is
carried at the lower of cost or fair value minus estimated selling costs. Any
write-downs to fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the
allowance for loan losses. Expenses incurred in maintaining assets, write-downs
to reflect subsequent declines in value and realized gains or losses are
reflected in operations for the period.
INCOME TAXES
Bancorp accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The
objective of the asset and liability method is to establish deferred tax assets
and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting and
the tax bases of Bancorp's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected
to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as
income in the period that includes the enactment date.
NET INCOME PER SHARE
Effective December 31, 1997, Bancorp adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share", which requires the computation and disclosure of basic and diluted net
income per share. Prior years' net income per share amounts have been restated
to reflect the adoption of this statement. Basic net income per common share is
determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding. Diluted net income per share is determined by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
plus the weighted average number of shares that would be issued upon exercise of
dilutive options assuming proceeds are used to repurchase shares pursuant to the
treasury stock method.
RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set
of general purpose financial statements. Also in June 1997, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information." This statement requires reporting of
certain information about operating segments. Both statements are effective in
1998.
(2) ACQUISITION
On October 1, 1996, Bancorp completed the acquisition of the Indiana Bank.
The total purchase price was $2,803,000, including acquisition costs of $128,000
which exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by $1,041,000. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase; accordingly, the results of the
29
operations of the Indiana Bank prior to the acquisition have not been included
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
(3) RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
The Banks are required to maintain an average reserve balance in cash or
with the Federal Reserve Bank relating to customer deposits. At December 31,
1997, the amount of those required reserve balances was approximately
$7,401,000.

In December 1995, Bancorp reassessed the appropriateness of the
classification of securities as permitted under certain transition guidelines
for SFAS No. 115. Accordingly, Bancorp transferred securities with a book value
of $15,117,000 and an unrealized net gain of $370,000 from the held to maturity
to the available for sale category. This transfer increased the equity portion
of unrealized gain on securities available for sale by $244,000.

A summary of debt securities as of December 31, 1997 based on maturity is
presented below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities
because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations. Therefore, in
the case of mortgage-backed securities, the expected remaining life is reflected
rather than contractual maturities.

The Banks' credit exposure is diversified with secured and unsecured loans
to individuals, small businesses and corporations. No specific industry
concentration exceeds 10% of loans. While the Banks have diversified loan
portfolios, a customer's ability to honor contracts is reliant upon the economic
stability and geographic region and/or industry in which that customer does
business. Loans outstanding and related unfunded commitments are primarily
concentrated within the Banks' market area which encompasses Louisville,
Kentucky and surrounding communities including southern Indiana.

Interest income on impaired loans (cash basis) was $2,000, $400 and $71,000,
in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Loans to directors and their associates, including loans to companies for
which directors are principal owners, and executive officers amounted to
approximately $2,602,000 and $1,824,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. These loans were made on substantially the same terms, and
interest rates and
31
collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for other customers. During
1997 new loans of $4,412,000 were made to officers and directors and affiliated
companies, repayments amounted to $3,634,000.

income to allow for utilization of the future deductible amounts within the
carry-back period.
(8) DEPOSITS
Included in deposits are certificates of deposit and other time deposits in
denominations of $100,000 or more in the amounts of $58,592,000 and $44,545,000
at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Interest expense related to
certificates of deposit and other time deposits in denominations of $100,000 or
more was $2,702,000, $2,703,000 and $1,545,000, respectively, for the years

(10) LONG-TERM DEBT
In connection with its 1996 acquisition of the Indiana Bank, Bancorp
borrowed $2,200,000 of which $2,090,000 was outstanding at December 31, 1996.
This note was paid in full during 1997. During 1997 Bancorp established a
$6,000,000 line of credit with a correspondent bank. The balance on this loan at
December 31, 1997 was $1,800,000. The interest rate on the line was 7.5875% at
December 31, 1997 and is indexed to LIBOR with payments due quarterly. The terms
of the note include a number of financial and general covenants, including
capital and return on asset requirements as well as restrictions on additional
long term debt, future mergers and significant dispositions without the consent
of the lender. The note is renewable on an annual basis.
The Kentucky Bank also has subordinated debentures outstanding amounting to
$315,000 and $607,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. These are due
in October 2049. Interest on these debentures is at a variable rate equal to one
percent less than the Bank's prime rate adjusted annually on January 1. The
Bank's prime rate was 8.25% at December 31, 1997. The debentures are
subordinated to the claims of creditors and depositors of the Bank and are
subject to redemption by the Bank at the principal amount outstanding, upon the
earlier of the death of the registered owners, or an event of default by the
registered owners with respect to loans from the Bank.

In August 1996, the Board of Directors declared a 2-for-1 stock split to be
effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend. The split resulted in the
issuance of 1,635,715 shares of common stock at September 1996. All per share
information herein reflects the adjusted number of common shares outstanding.

(12) ADVANCES FROM THE FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK
The Kentucky Bank has an agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Cincinnati (FHLB) which enables this Bank to borrow under terms to be
established at the time of the advance. Advances from the FHLB would be
collateralized by certain first mortgage loans under a blanket mortgage
collateral agreement and FHLB stock. The Bank has not taken any advances under
this agreement.
(13) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Banks have an employee stock ownership plan, a money purchase plan and a
deferred income (401(k)) profit sharing plan. The plans are defined contribution
plans and are available to all employees meeting certain eligibility
requirements. Expenses of the plans for 1997, 1996 and 1995 were $702,000,
$553,000 and $457,000, respectively. Contributions are made in accordance with
the terms of the plans.
The Kentucky Bank also sponsors an unfunded, non-qualified, defined benefit
retirement plan for certain key officers. At December 31, 1997 and 1996 the
accumulated benefit obligation for this plan was $1,369,000 and $1,334,000,
respectively. Expenses of the plan were $130,000 in 1997, $160,000 in 1996,
$71,000 in 1995.
Obligations for other post-retirement and post-employment benefits are not
significant.
(14) STOCK OPTIONS
In 1995 shareholders approved a stock incentive plan which provides for
granting of options to Bank employees and non-employee directors to purchase up
to 160,000 shares of common stock. Under this plan, options for 130,700 shares
were granted in 1995 and 1997 leaving 29,300 shares available for future grant.
Bancorp also has a stock option plan under which all options have been granted.
Any options granted which do not vest immediately are subject to a vesting
schedule of 20% per year. The options granted at $1.722 per share were granted
below market value of common stock at time of grant and do not expire. All other
options were granted at the market value of common stock at the time of grant
and expire ten years after the date of grant.

Bancorp applies the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost
has been recognized for its stock option granted at the market value of common
stock at the time of grant. Had compensation cost for Bancorp's stock-based
compensation plans been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, Bancorp's net
income and income per share would have been as follows:

The fair value of each option grant is estimated as of the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions used for grants in
1997 and 1995 were dividend yield of 1.56% and 1.78%; expected volatility of
16.11% and 16.40%; risk free interest rate of 5.86% and 5.70%; and expected life
of 7 years and 8 years, respectively.
(15) DIVIDEND RESTRICTION
Bancorp's principal source of funds is dividends received from the Banks.
Under applicable banking laws, bank regulatory authorities must approve the
declaration of dividends in any year if such dividends are in an amount in
excess of the sum of net income of that year and retained earnings of the
preceding two years. At January 1, 1998, the retained earnings of the Banks
available for payment of dividends without regulatory approval were
approximately $8,432,000.
(16) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
As of December 31, 1997, the Banks had various commitments and contingent
liabilities outstanding which arose in the normal course of business, such as
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 $86,887,000, including standby letters of credit
of $10,021,000 represent normal banking transactions, and no significant losses
are anticipated to result therefrom. The Banks' 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. The Banks use the same credit
and collateral policies in making commitments and conditional guarantees as for
on-balance sheet instruments. Market
36
risk arises on fixed rate commitments if interest rates move adversely
subsequent to the extension of the commitment.
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. Since many
of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The
Banks evaluate each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The
amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Banks upon extension
of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property,
plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional
commitments issued by the Banks to guarantee the performance of a customer to a
third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private borrowing
arrangements.
Also, as of December 31, 1997 there were various 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.
The Kentucky Bank leases certain facilities and improvements under
non-cancelable operating leases. Future minimum lease commitments for these
leases are $505,000 in 1998, $461,000 in 1999, $424,000 in 2000, $424,000 in
2001, $425,000 in 2002 and $2,069,000 in the aggregate thereafter. Rent expense,
net of sublease income, was $306,000 in 1997, $329,000 in 1996 and $446,000 in
1995.
(17) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--INTEREST RATE CONTRACTS
Bancorp manages its exposure to market risk, in part, by using interest rate
contracts to modify the existing rate characteristics of its variable rate loan
portfolio. The notional amount of the interest rate contract represents an
agreed upon amount on which calculations of interest payments to be exchanged
are based. The notional amount is significantly greater than the amount at risk.
The cost of replacing contracts in an unrealized gain position is the
measurement of credit risk. Bancorp's contracts are with a counterparty with
high credit ratings and, as of December 31, 1997, the counterparty is expected
to meet its obligations.
At December 31, 1997, Bancorp had entered into an interest rate collar
contract with notional amounts totaling $100 million which matures in December,
1999. Under this contract, the Kentucky Bank sold an interest rate cap on prime
at 9% on $50 million of loans and bought an interest rate floor on prime at 8%
on $50 million of loans. If the monthly average of the prime interest rate
exceeds 9% for any month in the contract, the Bank would pay the counterparty
the difference between the monthly average prime rate and 9%. Conversely, if the
monthly average of prime declines below 8%, the Bank would receive from the
counterparty the difference between the monthly average prime rate and 8%. Net
receipts or payments under the contracts are recognized as adjustments to
interest income on loans. This contract had no effect on interest income in
1997.
At December 31, 1996, Bancorp had entered into an interest rate swap
contract with a notional amount totaling $20 million. The contract had a two
year maturity; however, it was terminated during 1997. Under the contract,
Bancorp received or paid the difference between the floating prime rate and
rates stated in the contract. Net receipts or payments under the contract were
recognized as adjustments to interest income on loans. The contract increased
interest income by $48,000 in 1997 and $74,000 in 1996.

(18) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The estimated fair values of Bancorp's financial instruments at December 31
are as follows:

------------ ------------ ------------ ------------
------------ ------------ ------------ ------------
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate
that value.
CASH, SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS AND SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable
estimate of fair value.
SECURITIES
For securities, fair value equals quoted market price, if available. If a
quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted
market prices for similar securities or dealer quotes.
LOANS
The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows
using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with
similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
DEPOSITS
The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money
market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair
value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the
future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar
remaining maturities.
LONG-TERM DEBT
Rates currently available to Bancorp for debt with similar terms and
remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.
38
COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT AND STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT
The fair values of commitments to extend credit are estimated using fees
currently charged to enter into similar agreements and the creditworthiness of
the customers. The fair values of standby letters of credit are based on fees
currently charged for similar agreements or the estimated cost to terminate them
or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting
date.
INTEREST RATE CONTRACTS
The fair value of interest rate contracts is the estimated amount, based on
market quotes, that Bancorp would receive to terminate the agreement at the
reporting date, considering interest rates and the remaining term of the
agreements.
LIMITATIONS
The fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on
relevant market information and information about the 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 loss experience, 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. Changes in assumptions could
significantly affect the estimates.
(19) REGULATORY MATTERS
The Banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly discretionary, actions
by regulators. If undertaken, these measures could have a direct material effect
on a bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines, a bank must
meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of a bank's
assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under
regulatory accounting practices. The Banks' capital amounts and classification
are also subject to qualitative judgements by the regulators about components,
risk weighting, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital
to risk weighted assets and Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management
believes, as of December 31, 1997, that both Banks meet all capital adequacy
requirements to which they are subject.
As of December 1997 and 1996, the most recent notifications from each Bank's
primary regulator categorized the Banks as well capitalized under the regulatory
framework. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Banks 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%. There are no conditions or events since
those notifications that management believes have changed the institutions'
categories.

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
S.Y. BANCORP, INC.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of S.Y. Bancorp,
Inc. (Bancorp) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1997. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
Bancorp's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of S.Y. Bancorp, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and other financial data
were prepared by the management of S.Y. Bancorp, Inc. (Bancorp), which has the
responsibility for the integrity of the information presented. The consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and, as such, include amounts that are the best estimates
and judgments of management with consideration given to materiality.
Management is further responsible for maintaining a system of internal
controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that the books and records
reflect the transactions of Bancorp and that its established policies and
procedures are carefully followed. Management believes that Bancorp's system,
taken as a whole, provides reasonable assurance that transactions are executed
in accordance with management's general or specific authorization; transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain
accountability for assets; access to assets is permitted only in accordance with
management's general or specific authorization, and the recorded accountability
for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and
appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
Management also seeks to assure the objectivity and integrity of Bancorp's
financial data by the careful selection and training of qualified personnel, an
internal audit function and organizational arrangements that provide an
appropriate division of responsibility.
Bancorp's independent auditors, KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, have audited the
consolidated financial statements. Their audit was conducted in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, which provide for consideration of
Bancorp's internal controls to the extent necessary to determine the nature,
timing, and extent of their audit tests.
The Board of Directors pursues its oversight role for the consolidated
financial statements through the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee meets
periodically and privately with management, the internal auditor, and the
independent auditors to review matters relating to financial reporting, the
internal control systems, and the scope and results of audit efforts. The
internal and independent auditors have unrestricted access to the Audit
Committee, with and without the presence of management, to discuss accounting,
auditing, and financial reporting matters. The Audit Committee also recommends
the appointment of the independent auditors to the Board of Directors.
