On a year to date basis, we e a r n ed $5.7 million for the year e n d ed December 31, 2011 as compared to $4.9 million for the s a me period in 2010. For the fourth quarter 2011, our earnings at $1.2 million remained level, when compared to the same period in 2010. Additionally I am pleased to announce that our earnings per share for the year increased from $1.81 per share on a fully diluted basis to $2.09, which is a 15.5% increase. Total assets at December 31, 2011 were $659.5 million compared to $658.9 million for 2010. Remaining virtually flat in asset growth is primarily the result of the continued instability of our local, regional, a nd state economies. Deposits were up 1% from the previous year as reflected by the $542.9 million total at December 31, 2011 versus the $537.4 million figure at December 31, 2010. The economy in 2011 did show some signs of improvement. In last years letter to our shareholders, we expressed concern about how much longer we would be experiencing the already four y e ar old recession. The national unemployment rate h as d r o p p ed from a b o ve 9.0% to 8.3%. In Kentucky 114 of 120 counties h a ve shown lower unemployment rates, a nd fortunately most all the markets we serve reflect lower unemployment numbers than the state as a whole. The housing market, on the national a nd regional levels, continues to be sluggish. Home sales, both new and existing, are not increasing a nd home values a re flat, if not continuing to decline slightly Low interest rates h a ve encouraged significant refinancing of homes, but h a ve not spurred a ny major activity Business activity however, is starting to show some signs of improvement as evidenced by slight increases in commercial lending. The manufacturing industries h a ve b e en relatively stable a nd car sales h a ve shown healthy gains. The improvement in the stock market is also encouraging as an indicator of a recovering economy that is predicted to grow at a less than 3% rate in 2012. Rising oil prices, however a nd events outside our country could still be impediments to the recovery The regulatory b u r d e ns placed on the banking industry by the Dodd-Frank Bill a re becoming increasingly challenging in cost, time, a nd energy Heretofore, only 25% of the legislation h as b e en implemented, a nd the limitations it h as placed on community banks a nd ultimately to the consumer a re being felt. Despite these burdens, your bank will continue to deal with these issues a nd adapt, so as to remain successful. Our commitment to Premier Customer Service h as never b e en stronger as we focus on ensuring that we maintain a nd grow existing relationships at every opportunity As an example, our Corporate Services Department h as increased relationships by over 70%, as we provide electronic banking services that our customers expect. We h a ve initiated an effort to e n h a n ce our abilities to offer Small Business Administration (SBA) loans to commercial customers a nd prospects that can benefit from these kinds of programs. Other enhancements to lending services include residential real estate loans in cooperation with governmental programs like Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Rural Housing Service (RHS), Veterans Affairs ("VA), a nd Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC). We a re also very pleased to a n n o u n ce that your company w as recognized by the Kentucky C h a m b er of Commerce a nd the Kentucky Society for Human Resource Management as one of the Best Places to Work. There are two reasons to be especially excited about this award. First, b e c a u se this w as the first y e ar in our effort for recognition, we were not expecting this designation. Second, a nd most importantly this a w a rd is a representation of the quality of the people who work at Kentucky Bank. These have b e en challenging times for our economy a nd our industry We believe, despite these challenges, that your company is in a position to continue to grow a nd prosper As always, we appreciate your interest a nd support.
