Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements include Porter Bancorp, Inc. (Company or PBI) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PBI Bank (Bank). All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. A description of other significant accounting policies is presented in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 included in the Company’s Form S-1 registration statement (Reg. No. 333-133198) which are incorporated herein by reference.

Use of Estimates – To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

Reclassifications – Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

New Accounting Standards

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN48), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective beginning in 2007. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its financial statements.

Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 156 “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”, that changes the accounting for all servicing rights which are recorded as the result of purchasing a servicing right or selling a loan with servicing retained. SFAS No. 156 amends the current accounting guidance for servicing rights in that it allows companies to carry their servicing rights at fair value, where presently servicing rights are assessed for impairment based on their fair value at each reporting date, using lower of cost or market value. This pronouncement is effective January 1, 2007, although earlier adoption is permitted during the first quarter of 2006. The Company plans to adopt this standard on January 1, 2007. This standard will have no impact on the Company’s financial statements to the extent the Company maintains its present practice of selling loans only with servicing rights released before January 1, 2007.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 Topic 1N, “Financial Statements – Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 requires the dual approach to be used to compute the amount of a financial statement misstatement. More specifically, the amount should be computed using both the “rollover” (current year income statement perspective) and “iron curtain” (year-end balance sheet perspective) methods. A registrant’s financial statements require adjustment when either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that is material, after considering all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. Registrants will not be required to restate prior period financial statements when initially applying SAB 108 if management properly applied its previous approach (i.e. rollover or iron curtain) given that all relevant qualitative factors were considered. SAB 108 states that, upon initial application, registrants may elect to (a) restate prior periods, or (b) record the cumulative effect of the initial application of SAB 108 in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, with the offsetting adjustment made to retained earnings. To the extent that registrants elect to record the cumulative effect of initially applying SAB 108, they will disclose the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected in the cumulative adjustment. The disclosure will also include when and how each error being corrected arose and the fact that the errors had previously been considered immaterial. SAB 108 is effective for us for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. We are in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SAB 108 will have on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force’s (EITF) consensus on Issue 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance—Determining the Amount That could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance”“. FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 requires that assets such as bank owned life insurance be carried at their cash surrender value (CSV) or the amount that could be realized, with changes in CSV reported in earnings. Issue 06-5 requires that a policyholder consider any additional amounts (e.g. claims stabilization reserves and deferred acquisition costs) included in the contractual terms of the policy in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. Certain life insurance contracts provide the policyholder with an amount that, upon surrender, is greater if all individual policies are surrendered at the same time rather than if the policies were surrendered over a period of time. The Issue requires that policyholders determine the amount that could be realized under the life insurance contract assuming the surrender of an individual-life by individual-life policy. This Issue is effective for us beginning January 1, 2007. The Issue can be applied as either (a) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption, or (b) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all periods. We are in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of Issue 06-5 will have on our financial statements.

Note 2 – Stock Plans and Stock Based Compensation

At September 30, 2006, the Company has a stock option plan and a stock incentive plan. On December 31, 2005, the Company assumed the 2000 Stock Option Plan of Ascencia Bank, Inc. when the Company acquired the minority interest of Ascencia Bancorp, Inc. On February 23, 2006, the Company adopted the Porter Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. With regard to the 2000 Option Plan, no additional grants were made subsequent to year-end and none are expected to be made in the future. The 2006 Plan permits the issuance of up to 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the exercise of stock options or upon the grant of stock awards. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had granted outstanding options to purchase 222,820 shares and had awarded 38,050 unvested shares net of forfeitures. The Company has 333,134 shares available for issue under the 2006 Plan. All shares issued under the above mentioned plans came from authorized and unissued shares.

On May 15, 2006, the board of directors approved the Porter Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Non-Employee Directors Stock Ownership Incentive Plan, which was approved by holders of the Company’s voting common stock on June 8, 2006. Under the terms of the plan, 100,000 shares are reserved for issuance to non-employee directors upon the exercise of stock options granted under the plan. Options granted are granted automatically under the plan at fair market value on the date of grant, vest over a three-year period and have a five year term. On September 22, 2006, the Company granted options to purchase 24,000 shares to non-employee directors in connection with the completion of the initial public offering. At September 30, 2006, 76,000 shares remain available for issue under this plan.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, “Share Based Payment.” The Company elected to utilize the modified prospective transition method; therefore, prior period results were not restated. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was not recognized in the results of operations if the exercise price was at least equal to the market value of the common stock on the grant date, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”

SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to directors, employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense over the service period (generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. Under the modified prospective method, unvested awards, awards that were granted, modified, or settled on or after January 1, 2006 are measured and accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123R. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in the amount recognized.

All stock options have an exercise price that is at least equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date the options were granted. Options granted generally become fully exercisable at the end of 3 years of continued employment. Options granted under the 2000 plan have a life of 10 years while those granted under the 2006 plan have a life of 5 years.

The following table summarizes stock option activity:


	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006				Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2005
	Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Options	Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding, beginning	194,004		$	25.50	194,004	$	25.50
Issued	53,816			24.83	—		—
Cancelled/forfeited	(1,000	)		25.50	—		—

Outstanding, ending	246,820		$	25.35	194,004	$	25.50

The following table details stock options outstanding:


	September 30, 2006
Stock options vested and currently exercisable:		189,102
Weighted average exercise price	$	25.50
Aggregate intrinsic value	$	0
Weighted average remaining life (in years)		3.6
Total Options Outstanding:		246,820
Aggregate intrinsic value	$	0
Weighted average remaining life (in years)		3.9

The intrinsic value of stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the market price of our common stock as of the reporting date. There were no options exercised during the first nine months of 2006 or 2005. The Company recorded $55,000 of stock option compensation during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to salaries and employee benefits. Since the stock options are non-qualified stock options, a tax benefit of $19,000 was recognized. No options were modified during either period. As of September 30, 2006, no stock options issued by the Company have been exercised.

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes based stock option valuation model. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions that will usually have a significant impact on the fair value estimate. Expected volatilities are based on volatilities of similar publicly traded companies due to the limited historical trading activity of the Company’s stock, and other factors. Expected dividends are based on dividend trends and the market price of the Company’s stock price at grant. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The weighted-average assumptions used are summarized as follows:


Risk-free interest rate		4.88	%
Expected option life		3.5 years

On March 23, 2006, the Company awarded 39,600 unvested shares to employees. As of September 30, 2006, 1,550 of these shares have been forfeited due to employee cessation of service, and 38,050 unvested shares remain issued and outstanding. The shares vest at a rate of 10% on each one-year anniversary date of the grant date provided the employee is still employed by the Company at that date. The fair value on the date of grant was $25.50 per share. The Company recorded $51,000 of stock-based compensation during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to salaries and employee benefits. A tax benefit of $17,000 was recognized related to this expense.

Unrecognized stock based compensation expense related to stock options and unvested shares for the remainder of 2006 and beyond is estimated as follows (in thousands):

Securities pledged at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 had carrying values of approximately $27,765,000 and $12,269,000, respectively, and were pledged to secure public deposits, repurchase agreements, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.

As of September 30, 2006, the Company has 58 equity securities. Of these securities, one had an unrealized loss of $300 and had been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and fifteen had an unrealized loss of $178,000 and had been in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months. Management monitors the credit quality and current market pricing for these equity securities monthly. Management has made a practice of selling equity securities where recovery does not seem likely but does not have the present intent to sell securities with unrealized losses. As of September 30, 2006, there are no securities management would classify as other than temporarily impaired.

The purchase price was allocated $100,000 to fixed assets, $100,000 to a non-compete covenant, and $50,000 to goodwill. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay additional consideration in future periods, based upon the attainment by the acquired entity of defined operating objectives. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, “Business Combinations”, the Company will not accrue contingent consideration obligations prior to attainment of the objectives. Maximum potential future consideration pursuant to such arrangement, to be resolved over the following two years, is $350,000. Any such payments would result in an increase in goodwill.

Overview

Porter Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBIB) is a Louisville, Kentucky-based bank holding company which operates 13 full-service banking offices in nine counties through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PBI Bank. Our markets include metropolitan Louisville in Jefferson County and the surrounding counties of Henry and Bullitt, and extend south along the Interstate 65 corridor to Tennessee. We serve south central Kentucky from banking offices in Cumberland, Butler, Green, Hart, Edmonson and Barren Counties. Our markets have experienced annual positive deposit growth rates in recent years with the trend expected to continue for the next few years.

In our last two full fiscal years we have acquired two banks in Glasgow. In our July 30, 2004 acquisition of United Community Bank, we acquired $37.9 million in assets and $31.0 million in deposits and recorded $165,000 in goodwill and $431,000 in core deposit intangibles. In our January 31, 2005 acquisition of Citizens Financial Bank, we acquired $37.9 million in assets and $31.1 million in deposits and recorded $974,000 in goodwill and $189,000 in core deposit intangibles. These acquisitions established our presence in the Bowling Green market in south central Kentucky.

In 2005, we completed a reorganization in which we acquired the minority interests of our three partially owned bank holding companies and consolidated our five subsidiary banks under the common control of our founders into a single bank. In the reorganization, we terminated the elections by our company and our banking subsidiary to be subchapter S corporations for federal income tax purposes. As a subchapter S corporation with two shareholders, we historically paid a substantial portion of our net income as dividends to fund the tax liability our shareholders owed on our income and to provide a return on their investment. Dividends paid in 2005, our last year as a subchapter S corporation, represented 69.4% of our net income. As a C corporation, we now pay federal and state income taxes directly, but our shareholders no longer have to pay taxes on their share of our income, and we have adjusted our dividend policy accordingly. Subject to our future earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, future prospects and other factors our board of directors deems relevant, we plan to pay a substantially smaller dividend that will provide a return on investment to our shareholders.

We focus on commercial and commercial real estate lending, both in markets where we have banking offices and other growing markets in our region. Commercial, commercial real estate and real estate construction loans accounted for 69.4% of our total loan portfolio as of September 30, 2006, and 68.9% as of December 31, 2005, and contributed significantly to our earnings. Commercial lending generally produces higher yields than residential lending, but requires more rigorous underwriting standards and credit quality monitoring.

We have improved our return on average equity, return on average assets and efficiency ratio during each of the last three years. In 2005, our return on average equity was 21.21%, our return on average assets was 1.55% and our efficiency ratio was 47.96%. When adjusted to reflect our reorganization, had it occurred on January 1, 2005, including the additional income tax expense we would have incurred as a result of the termination of our subchapter S corporation status, our return on average equity would have been 20.02% and our return on average assets would have been 1.21%. Our efficiency ratio was not affected by the reorganization. During the first nine months of 2006, our return on average equity was 18.74%, our return on average assets was 1.44% and our efficiency ratio was 47.14%. While we will continue to emphasize operating efficiency and eliminate duplicative functions, we anticipate that future improvements in our operating results, if any, will likely result from our growth initiatives.

For more information about the Company, we refer you to our Form S-1 registration statement (Reg. No. 333-133198) under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, the Company reported net income of $3.8 million and $10.6 million. This compares to net income of $3.7 million and $10.6 million for the same periods in 2005. Additionally, on an adjusted pro forma basis, this compares to net income of $3.1 million and $9.1 million for the same periods in 2005. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.59 and $ 1.67 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared to $0.63 and $1.80 for the same periods in 2005 and on an adjusted pro forma basis $0.49 and $1.43 for the same periods in 2005. The pro forma adjustments, as presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income, present the Company’s 2005 results as if its acquisition of minority interests in subsidiary banks and the termination of its S corporation status, which were effective on December 31, 2005, were in effect for all of 2005.

Highlights for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 consist of the following:

•

On September 22, 2006, the Company successfully completed its initial public offering, issuing 1,250,000 new shares at a price to the public of $24.00 per share;

•

Return on average assets and return on average equity increased to 1.44 % and 18.74 %, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 1.30 % and 17.30 % for the same period in 2005 on a pro forma basis;

•

Net interest income increased $1,148,000 or 4.3% during the first nine months of 2006 and $38,000 or 0.4% for the quarter as compared to comparable periods in 2005. The increases in net interest income was attributable to an increase in overall loan volume offset by an reduction in net interest margin reflecting the effect of a flattening yield curve;

•

Net loans increased $ 25.0 million or 3.2% during the first nine months of 2006; and

•

The Company repaid $9.5 million in debt incurred to acquire minority interests in 2005.

The following discussion and analysis covers the primary factors affecting our performance and financial condition.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting and reporting policies comply with GAAP and conform to general practices within the banking industry. We believe that of our significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of management assumptions and judgments that could result in materially different amounts to be reported if conditions or underlying circumstances were to change.

Allowance for Loan Losses – We maintain an allowance for loan losses sufficient to absorb probable incurred credit losses existing in the loan portfolio, and our senior loan committee evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. We estimate the adequacy of the allowance using, among other things, historical loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of the underlying collateral and current economic conditions. While we estimate the allowance for loan losses, in part, based on historical losses within each loan category, estimates for losses within the commercial real estate portfolio are more dependent upon credit analysis and recent payment performance. Allocation of the allowance may be made for specific loans or loan categories, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful. The general

component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The methodology for allocating the allowance for loan losses takes into account our increase in commercial and consumer lending. We adjust the amount of the allowance allocated to commercial loans and consumer loans in response to changes in the commercial and consumer loan portfolios and management’s recognition of the higher risks and loan losses in these lending areas. Allowance estimates are developed based on actual loss experience adjusted for current economic conditions. Allowance estimates are considered a prudent measurement of the risk in the loan portfolio and are applied to individual loans based on loan type. If the mix and amount of future charge-off percentages differ significantly from those assumptions used by management in making its determination, the allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses on the income statement could be materially affected.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets – Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are subject to an impairment test at least annually and more frequently if circumstances indicate their value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the book value of the reporting unit. If the fair value, net of goodwill, exceeds book value, then goodwill is not considered to be impaired. Intangible assets that are not amortized will be tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair values of those assets to their carrying values. Other identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are amortized on an accelerated basis over the years expected to be benefited, which we believe is 10 years. These amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their value may not be recoverable based on a comparison of fair value to carrying value. Based on the annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2005, we do not believe any of our goodwill is impaired as of that date. While we believe no impairment existed at December 31, 2005 under accounting standards applicable at that date, different conditions or assumptions, or changes in cash flows or profitability, if significantly negative or unfavorable, could have a material adverse effect on the outcome of our impairment evaluation and financial condition or future results of operations.

Stock-based Compensation – We adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R “Share-Based Payment (Revised 2004),” on January 1, 2006. Among other things, SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value based method of accounting and requires that such transactions be recognized as compensation expense in the income statement based on their fair values on the date of the grant. SFAS No. 123R requires that management make assumptions including stock price volatility and employee turnover that are utilized to measure compensation expense. The fair value of stock options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, such as volatility, risk-free interest rates and dividend pay-out rates.

Treatment of Deferred Tax Asset – We have approximately $3.4 million in deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2006. A majority of the deferred tax assets were created in connection with the conversion of our company and our surviving bank subsidiary from Subchapter S corporations to Subchapter C corporations for federal income tax purposes. We will evaluate the deferred tax asset quarterly and will realize this asset to the extent we are profitable or carry back tax losses to periods in which we paid income taxes. Our determination of the realization of the deferred tax asset will be based upon our judgment of various future events and uncertainties, including the timing and amount of future income we will earn and the implementation of various tax plans to maximize realization of the deferred tax assets. We believe that we will generate sufficient operating earnings to realize the deferred tax benefits. Examinations of our income tax returns or changes in tax law may impact our tax liabilities and resulting provisions for income taxes.

Results of Operations

The following table summarizes components of income and expense and the change in those components for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared with the same period of 2005:


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				Change from Prior Period

Net income		3,809		3,704		105		2.83

(1)	The Company bought out the minority interests in its subsidiary bank holding company in the December 31, 2005 Reorganization.

Net income of $3,809,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased $105,000, or 2.8%, from $3,704,000 for the comparable period of 2005. This increase in earnings was primarily attributable to a lower provision for loan losses expense and decreased non-interest expense, which was partially offset by increased income tax expense. Provision for loan losses expense decreased $439,000, or 61.4%, in comparison to the third quarter of 2005 as a result of our current assessment of borrowers’ ability to repay and our collateral positions related to impaired and non-performing loans. Non-interest expense decreased $266,000, or 5.4%, in comparison to the third quarter of 2005 as a result of an increase in the deferral of direct loan origination costs and reduced employee benefit costs resulting from a change in our group health benefits plan that went into effect July 1, 2006. These decreases in non-interest expense were partially offset by increased advertising costs associated with our current advertising campaign. Income tax expense increased $911,000, or 96.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2006 in comparison with the same period of 2005 resulting from our change to C corporation status effective December 31, 2005.

The following table summarizes components of income and expense and the change in those components for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared with the same period of 2005:


	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,				Change from Prior Period
	2006		2005		Amount			Percent

Net income		10,642		10,564		78		0.74

(1)	The Company bought out the minority interests in its subsidiary bank holding company in the December 31, 2005 Reorganization.

Net income of $10,642,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased $78,000, or 0.74%, from $10,564,000 for the comparable period of 2005. This increase in earnings was primarily attributable to increased net interest income and a lower provision for loan losses expense, which was partially offset by lower non-interest income and increased income tax expense. Net interest income increased $1.1 million, or 4.3%, over the same period of 2005 as a result of growth in the loan portfolio, but was offset by a reduction in net interest margin. Provision for loan losses expense decreased $739,000, or 41.8%, from the comparable period of 2005 as a result of our current assessment of borrowers’ ability to repay and our collateral positions related to impaired and non-performing loans. Non-interest income decreased $321,000, or 7.5%, in comparison to the same period of 2005 due to decreased income from service charges on deposit accounts and gains on sales of government guaranteed loans, reflecting the cyclical nature of originations and sales of this type of loan. Decreased service charges on deposit accounts resulted from changes in product fee structures. Income tax expense increased $2.3 million, or 81.6%, over the comparable period of 2005 as a result of our change to C corporation status effective December 31, 2005.

Net Interest Income – Our net interest income was $9,279,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $38,000, or 0.4%, compared with $9,241,000 for the same period in 2005. Net interest spread and margin were 3.43% and 3.95%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2006, compared with 3.59% and 4.04%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2005. Net interest income was $27,733,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $1,148,000, or 4.3%, compared with $26,585,000 for the same period in 2005. Net interest spread and margin were 3.52% and 4.00%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2006, compared with 3.59% and 4.01%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2005. The increase in net interest income was primarily the result of higher loan volume, but was partially offset by the reduction in net interest margin due to the flattening yield curve between periods. The increase of $40.3 million in average loans for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, was due to growth in our loan portfolio.

Our average interest-earning assets were $936.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with $894.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, a 4.7% increase primarily attributable to loan growth. Average loans were $807.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with $766.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, a 5.3% increase. Our total interest income increased by 19.1% to $53.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with $44.9 million for the same period in 2005. The change was due to a combination of higher interest rates and higher loan volume.

Our average interest-bearing liabilities also increased by 6.5% to $836.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with $786.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Our total interest expense increased by 41.0% to $25.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with $18.3 million during the same period in 2005, due primarily to an increase in the volume of, and higher interest rates paid on, certificates of deposit. Our average volume of certificates of deposit increased by 12.7% to $631.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with $560.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The average interest rate paid on certificates of deposits increased to 4.54% and 4.25% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared with 3.45% and 3.30% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. The increase in cost of funds was the result of the continued repricing of certificates of deposit at maturity at higher interest rates. Certificate of deposit volume increase also reflected increased interest rates. Going forward, management expects cost of funds to continue to increase as the general market deposit rates have become increasingly competitive with the recent upward trend in interest rates.

Non-Interest Income – The following table presents the major categories of non-interest income for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:


	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2006		2005			2006		2005

Total non-interest income	$	1,317	$	1,362		$	4,013	$	4,341

Non-interest income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006 decreased $45,000, or 3.3%, in comparison with the third quarter of 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, non-interest income decreased by $328,000 to $4.0 million, compared with $4.3 million for same period during 2005. The decrease in non-interest income for both the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily due to decreased gains on sales of government guaranteed loans, reflecting the cyclical nature of originations and sales of this type of loan. Decreased income from sales of government guaranteed loans was partially offset by increased income from gains on sales of residential real estate loans originated by the new PBI Mortgage division, which we acquired in January 2006.

Beginning in 2004, we placed more emphasis on lending under the Business and Industrial Loan Guarantee Program administered by the Rural Business-Cooperative Service of the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”). The program makes an annual allocation of available credits to guarantee loans to promote rural economic development, giving priority to loans in rural communities with populations of 25,000 or less. Participating lenders submit proposals for individual projects meeting specific criteria in a competitive process, and there is ordinarily several months between the time a conditional commitment is awarded for a project and the loan closing. Accordingly, we expect the amount of income we earn from the sale of USDA guaranteed loans will fluctuate from period to period.

Non-interest Expense – The following table presents the major categories of non-interest expense for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2006		2005		2006		2005

Total non-interest expense	$	4,653	$	4,919	$	14,940	$	14,771

(1)–	During the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 the Company recognized $41,000 and $106,000, respectively, of expense upon the issuance of stock options and restricted stock to employees.

Non-interest expense for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006 decreased $266,000, or 5.4%, to $4.7 million, compared to $4.9 million for the third quarter of 2005. The decrease in non-interest expense during the quarter was primarily due to reduced employee benefit costs resulting from a change in the Company’s group health benefit plan that went into effect on July 1, 2006 and an increase in the deferral of direct loan origination costs. This decrease was partially offset by the increased cost of advertising in connection with branding the new name, PBI Bank. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, non-interest expense increased $169,000, or 1.1%, to $14.9 million compared with $14.8 million for the first nine months of 2005. The increase in non-interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 was additional employee compensation expenses relating to planned growth in our lending staff and the increased advertising cost, but was partially offset by the decreased group benefit plan costs. In addition, the Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R) during the first quarter of 2006 resulting in the recognition of $41,000 and $106,000 in non-cash compensation expense in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006, respectively. No such expense was recorded in the comparative periods of 2005.

Income Tax Expense – Income tax expense was $1.9 million and $5.1 million for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared with $947,000 and $2.8 million for the same periods in 2005. During 2005, the Company and certain of its former subsidiaries were subchapter S corporations. As such, the Company and its former S corporation subsidiaries were not historically subject to federal corporate income tax at the corporate level, while certain other of its subsidiaries were subject to federal income tax. After 2005, all of the Company’s income and all of the income of its wholly owned subsidiary PBI Bank will be subject to federal income tax. On December 31, 2005, when the Subchapter S elections were voluntarily terminated, certain deferred tax assets and liabilities were reinstated. Income tax expense would have increased approximately $743,000 and $2.1 million for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, had the Company and its subsidiaries that were subchapter S corporations been subject to federal income tax during that period.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Total assets at September 30, 2006 were $1.0 billion compared with $991.5 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $8.5 million or 0.9%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $25.0 million in net loans from loan growth. The increase was partially offset by a $9.1 million decrease in federal funds sold and a $8.3 million decrease in securities available for sale.

Loans Receivable – Loans receivable increased $25.5 million or 3.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $817.4 million. Our commercial, commercial real estate, and real estate construction portfolios increased by an aggregate of $21.1 million or 3.9% during the nine months and comprised 69.4% of the total loan portfolio at September 30, 2006.

Loan Portfolio Composition – Loans The following table presents a summary of the loan portfolio at the dates indicated, net of deferred loan fees, by type. There are no foreign loans in our portfolio and other than the categories noted; there is no concentration of loans in any industry exceeding 10% of total loans.

Non-Performing Assets – Non-performing assets consist of certain restructured loans for which interest rate or other terms have been renegotiated, loans past due 90 days or more still on accrual, loans on which interest is no longer accrued, real estate acquired through foreclosure and repossessed assets.

The following table sets forth information with respect to non-performing assets as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.


	September 30, 2006			December 31, 2005
	(dollars in thousands)
Loans past due 90 days or more still on accrual	$	2,356		$	1,969
Non-accrual loans		7,616			5,045

Non-performing loans to total loans		1.22	%		0.89	%

Non-performing assets to total loans		1.48	%		1.11	%

Past due loans increased $387,000 from December 31, 2005 to September 30, 2006. Non-accrual loans increased $2.6 million from December 31, 2005 to September 30, 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to three residential construction loans and five related commercial loans. Management believes these loans are well secured and has begun the appropriate collection actions to resolve them.

Allowance for Loan Losses – The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s continuing review and risk evaluation of individual loans, loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various categories of loans and such other factors that, in management’s judgment, require current recognition in estimating loan losses.

Management has established loan grading procedures that result in specific allowance allocations for any estimated inherent risk of loss. For loans not individually graded, a general allowance allocation is computed using factors 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.

The provision for loan losses was $276,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared with $715,000 for the same period in 2005. The provision for loan losses was $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with $1.8 million for the same nine months of 2005. The total allowance for loan losses was $12.7 million or 1.55% of total loans at September 30, 2006, compared with $12.4 million or 1.56% of total loans at September 30, 2005. The increased allowance is primarily due to increases in the loan portfolio between periods. Net charge-offs were $232,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared with $304,000 for the same period in 2005. Net charge-offs were $571,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with $402,000 for the same nine months of 2005.

An analysis of changes in allowance for loan losses and selected ratios for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 follows:

Liabilities – Total liabilities at September 30, 2006 were $893.9 million compared to $919.6 million at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $25.7 million, or 2.8%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $4.2 million in deposits, a decrease of $9.6 million in notes payable and a decrease of $6.6 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances. These decreases were due to planned non-renewal of national market certificates of deposit and reductions in borrowings.

Deposits are our primary source of funds. The following table sets forth the average daily balances and weighted average rates paid for our deposits for the periods indicated:

Liquidity

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility we may not be able to satisfy current or future financial commitments, or may become unduly reliant on alternative funding sources. The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure that the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, as well as our operating cash needs, are met, taking into account all on- and off-balance sheet funding demands. Liquidity risk management also includes ensuring cash flow needs are met at a reasonable cost. We maintain an investment and funds management policy, which identifies the primary sources of liquidity, establishes procedures for monitoring and measuring liquidity, and establishes minimum liquidity requirements in compliance with regulatory guidance. The liquidity position is continually monitored and reviewed by our Asset Liability Committee.

Funds are available from a number of sources, including the sale of securities in the available-for-sale portion of the investment portfolio, principal pay-downs on loans and mortgage-backed securities, brokered deposits and other wholesale funding. During 2005 and the first nine months of 2006, PBI Bank utilized brokered and wholesale deposits to supplement its funding strategy. At September 30, 2006, these deposits totaled $2.6 million. PBI Bank also secured federal funds borrowing lines from major correspondent banks totaling $21.7 million on an unsecured basis and an additional $17.7 million on a secured basis.

Traditionally, PBI Bank has utilized borrowings from the FHLB to supplement our funding requirements. At September 30, 2006, the Bank had an unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB of $81.3 million. Management believes our sources of liquidity are adequate to meet expected cash needs for the foreseeable future.

We use cash to pay dividends on common stock, if and when declared by the board of directors, and to service debt. The main sources of funding include dividends paid by PBI Bank, management fees received from PBI Bank and affiliated banks and financing obtained in the capital markets.

Capital

Stockholders’ equity increased $33.9 million to $105.8 million at September 30, 2006 compared with $71.9 million at December 31, 2005. The increase was due to the completion of our initial public offering and net income earned during 2006 reduced by dividends declared. The Company and the Bank qualified as well capitalized under regulatory guidelines at September 30, 2006.

Each of the federal bank regulatory agencies has established minimum leverage capital requirements for banking organizations. Banking organizations must maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted average quarterly assets equal to 3% to 5% subject to federal bank regulatory evaluation of an organization’s overall safety and soundness.

The following table shows the ratios of Tier 1 capital and total capital to risk-adjusted assets and the leverage ratios for Porter Bancorp, Inc. and PBI Bank at the dates indicated:


	Regulatory Minimums		Well-Capitalized Minimums		September 30, 2006				December 31, 2005
	Regulatory Minimums		Well-Capitalized Minimums		Porter Bancorp		PBI Bank		Porter Bancorp		PBI Bank
Tier I capital	4.0	%	6.0	%	14.73	%	11.84	%	10.88	%	11.39	%
Total risk-based capital	8.0		10.0		15.99		13.10		12.13		12.65
Tier I leverage ratio	4.0		5.0		12.06		9.67		8.82		9.23

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company’s interest sensitivity profile was asset sensitive at September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005. Given an instantaneous 100 basis point decrease in rates that was sustained for 12 months, base net interest income would decrease by an estimated 6.9% at September 30, 2006 compared with a decrease of 9.0% at December 31, 2005. Given a 100 basis point increase in interest rates, base net interest income would increase by an estimated 6.1% at September 30, 2006, compared with an increase of 8.3% at December 31, 2005.

The following table indicates the estimate impact on net interest income under various interest rate scenarios for the twelve months following September 30, 2006, as calculated using the static shock model approach:


	Change in Future Net Interest Income
	Dollar Change			Percentage Change
	(dollars in thousands)
+ 200 basis points	$	4,128		12.04	%
+ 100 basis points		2,102		6.13
- 100 basis points		(2,358	)	(6.88	)
- 200 basis points		(5,325	)	(15.53	)

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).
