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

	This item discusses the results of operations for S.Y. Bancorp, Inc. (Bancorp), and its subsidiary, Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and compares that period with the same period of the previous year. Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this discussion to the "Bank" include Bancorp. In addition, the discussion describes the significant changes in the financial condition of Bancorp and the Bank that have occurred during the first three months of 2001 compared to December 31, 2000. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes presented in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

	*(a)*	*Results of Operations*

		Net income of $3,039,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 increased $447,000 or 17.2% from $2,592,000 for the comparable 2000 period. Basic net income per share was $0.46 for the first quarter of 2001, an increase of 17.9% from the $0.39 for the same period in 2000. Net income on a diluted basis was $0.38 for the first quarter of 2000 compared to $0.44 for the first quarter of 2001. This represents a 15.8% increase. Return on average assets and return on average stockholders' equity were 1.47% and 19.84%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2001, compared to 1.50% and 20.47%, respectively, for the same period in 2000.

		The following paragraphs provide a more detailed analysis of the significant factors affecting operating results and financial condition.

		Net Interest Income

		(In thousands)		Three Months Ended March 31
				2001	2000

		Interest income	$	16,468	13,481
		Tax equivalent		129	112

		Interest income, tax equivalent basis		16,597	13,593

		Total interest expense		8,320	6,068

		Net interest income, tax equivalent basis (1)	$	8,277	7,525

		Net interest spread (2), annualized		3.52%	3.96%
		Net interest margin (3), annualized		4.26%	4.68%

S.Y. BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY


	Notes:

	(1)	Net interest income, the most significant component of the Banks' earnings, is total interest income less total interest expense. The level of net interest income is determined by the mix and volume of interest earning assets, interest bearing deposits and borrowed funds, and by changes in interest rates.

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

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

	Fully taxable equivalent net interest income of $8,277,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 increased $752,000 or 10.0% from $7,525,000 for the same period last year. Net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.52% and 4.26%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2001 and 3.96% and 4.68%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2000. Net interest spread and margin were 3.44% and 4.27%, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2000.

	Average earning assets increased $142,183,000, or 22.0% to $787,357,000 for the first quarter of 2001 compared to 2000. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $128,990,000 or 23.8% to $671,038,000 for the first three months of 2001 compared to 2000.

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

	Bancorp uses an earnings simulation model to measure and evaluate the impact of changing interest rates on earnings. The simulation model is designed to reflect the dynamics of all interest earning assets, interest bearing liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments, combining factors affecting rate sensitivity into a one year forecast. By forecasting management's estimate of the most likely rate environment and adjusting those rates up and down the model can reveal approximate interest rate risk exposure. The March 31, 2001 simulation analysis indicates that an increase in interest rates would have a positive effect on net interest income, and a decrease in interest rates would have a negative effect on net interest income.

	Interest Rate Simulation Sensitivity Analysis		Net Interest Income Change		Net Income Change

	Increase 200bp		7.26%		12.43%

	Decrease 100bp		(4.10)		(7.02)
	Decrease 200bp		(7.33)		(12.55)

	Provision for Loan Losses

	The allowance for loan losses is based on management's continuing review of individual credits, recent loss experience, current economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the various categories of loans, and such other factors that, in management's judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating loan losses. An analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses and selected ratios follow:

	Non-interest Income and Expenses

	The following table sets forth the major components of non-interest income and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000.

		(Dollars in thousands)		Three Months Ended March 31
				2001	2000

		Non-interest income:
		Investment management and trust services	$	1,690	1,458
		Service charges on deposit accounts		1,581	984
		Gains on sales of mortgage loans held for sale		367	253
		Gains on sales of securities available for sale		-	-
		Other		732	627

		Total non-interest income	$	4,370	3,322

		Non-interest expenses:
		Salaries and employee benefits	$	4,360	3,823
		Net occupancy expense		474	437
		Furniture and equipment expense		603	603
		Other		1,803	1,480

		Total non-interest expenses	$	7,240	6,343

		Non-interest income increased $1,048,000, or 31.5%, for the first quarter of 2001, compared to the same period in 2000. Trust income increased $232,000 or 15.9% in the first quarter of 2001, as compared to the same period in 2000. Trust assets under management at March 31, 2001 were $1.00 billion as compared to $1.06 billion at December 31, 2000 and $953 million at March 31, 2000.

		Service charges on deposit accounts increased $597,000 or 60.7% in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. Opening new branch offices and promotion of retail accounts have presented opportunities for growth in deposit accounts and increased fee income. Additionally, in March of 2000 the Bank began offering an overdraft service to retail depositors. The service allows checking customers meeting specific criteria to incur overdrafts up to a predetermined limit, generally $500. For each check paid resulting in or increasing an overdraft, the customer pays the standard overdraft charge. During the first quarter of 2001, these fees totaled approximately $372,000.

		Gains on sales of mortgage loans were $367,000 in the first quarter of 2001 compared to $253,000 in 2000. The Bank operates a mortgage banking company which originates residential mortgage loans and sells the loans in the secondary market. Favorable interest rates in early 2001 stimulated home buying and refinancing. As interest rates have decreased, mortgage loan volume has increased, resulting in a corresponding increase in revenues.

		No sales of securities occurred in 2001 or 2000.


13

S.Y. BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY


		Other non-interest income increased $105,000 or 16.7% in the first quarter of 2001 compared to 2000. Numerous factors contributed to this increase, the most significant of which were $31,000 from check card income, $9,000 from title service fees and $10,000 from other fee income.

		Non-interest expenses increased $897,000 or 14.1% for the first quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. Salaries and employee benefits increased $537,000, or 14.0%, for the first quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. Employees continue to be added to support the Bank's growth. The Bank had 334 full time equivalent employees as of March 31, 2001 and 310 full time equivalents as of March 31, 2000. These increases also arose in part from regular salary increases. Net occupancy expense increased $37,000 or 8.5% in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to 2000. This slight increase was largely due to the addition of a new banking center at the end of the fourth quarter of 2000. Furniture and equipment expense was flat for the first quarter of 2001 compared to 2000. Other non-interest expenses have increased $323,000 or 21.8% in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to 2000.

		Income Taxes

		Bancorp had income tax expense of $1,439,000 for the first three months of 2001, compared to $1,220,000 for the same period in 2000. The effective rate was 32.1% in 2001 and 32.0% in 2000.

	*(b)*	*Financial Condition*

		Total Assets

		Total assets increased $11,139,000 from December 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001. Average assets for the first three months of 2001 were $837,708,000. Total assets at March 31, 2001 increased $143,954,000 from March 31, 2000, representing a 20.0% increase. Since year end, loans have increased approximately $28.5 million; cash and due from banks and federal funds sold decreased $20.8 million; securities available for sale increased $3.5 million, and securities held to maturity decreased $0.8 million. Mortgage loans available for sale increased $3.3 million.

		Non-performing Loans and Assets

		Non-performing loans, which included non-accrual loans of $4,419,000 and loans past due over 90 days of $988,000, totaled $5,407,000 at March 31, 2001. Non-performing loans were $2,944,000 at December 31, 2000. This represents 0.78% of total loans at March 31, 2001 compared to 0.44% at December 31, 2000. The increase in non-performing loans was primarily related to a single commercial credit placed on non-accrual status during the quarter. Management does not believe there is significant exposure to loss on the carrying value of these loans.

		Non-performing assets, which include non-performing loans, other real estate and repossessed assets, totaled $5,431,000 at March 31, 2001 and $3,777,000 at December 31, 2000. This represents 0.63% of total assets at March 31, 2001 compared to 0.44% at December 31, 2000.

	*(c)*	*Liquidity*

		The role of liquidity is to ensure that 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 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 deposits. Management believes it has the ability to increase deposits at any time by offering rates slightly higher than market rates.

		The Bank has a number of sources of funds to meet its liquidity needs on a daily basis. The deposit base, consisting of relatively stable consumer and commercial deposits, and large denomination ($100,000 and over) certificates of deposit, is a source of funds. The majority of these deposits are from long-term customers and are a stable source of funds. The Bank has no brokered deposits.

		Other sources of funds available to meet daily needs include the sale of securities under agreements to repurchase and funds made available under a treasury tax and loan note arrangement with the federal government. Also, the 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 Bank has not needed to access this source of funds. Additionally, the Bank has an available line of credit and federal funds purchased lines with correspondent banks totaling $56 million.

		Bancorp's liquidity depends primarily on the dividends paid to it as the sole shareholder of the Bank. At March 31, 2001, the Bank may pay up to $18,900,000 in dividends to Bancorp without regulatory approval subject to the ongoing capital requirements of the Bank. During the quarter the Bank paid dividends to Bancorp totaling $765,000.

	*(d)*	*Capital Resources*

		At March 31, 2001, stockholders' equity totaled $63,155,000, an increase of $2,867,000 since December 31, 2000. One component of equity is accumulated other comprehensive income which for Bancorp consists primarily of net unrealized gains on securities available for sale, net of taxes. Accumulated other comprehensive income was $615,000 at March 31, 2001 and $21,000 at December 31, 2000. The change since year end is a reflection of the effect of changing interest rates on the valuation of the Bank's portfolio of securities available for sale.

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

		At March 31, 2001, Bancorp's tier 1, total risk based capital and leverage ratios were 8.99%, 10.28% and 7.34%, respectively. These ratios exceed the minimum required by regulators to be well capitalized.

	*(e)*	*Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements*

		In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments. Under this standard, entities are required to carry all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value.

		The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, if so, on the reason for holding it. If certain conditions are met, entities may elect to designate a derivative instrument as a hedge of exposures to changes in fair values, cash flows, or foreign currencies. If the hedged exposure is a fair value exposure, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recognized in earnings in the period of change together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. If the hedged exposure is a cash flow exposure, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported initially as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. Any amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness as well as the ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately. Accounting for foreign currency hedges is similar to the accounting for fair value and cash flow hedges. If the derivative instrument is not designated as a hedge, the gain or loss is recognized in earnings in the period of change.

		During 1999 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," which delays the effective date of Statement No. 133 until January 1, 2001; however, early adoption is permitted. During June of 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities" which provides guidance with respect to certain implementation issues related to Statement No. 133. On adoption, the provisions of Statement No. 133 must be applied prospectively. Bancorp adopted Statement No. 133 on January 1, 2001. Because Bancorp currently has no derivative instruments or hedging activities, management believes there is no impact on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of Statement No. 133. Any derivative instruments acquired or hedging activities entered into will be recorded in the financial statements as required by Statements No. 133 and 138.

		In September, 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 140,"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishmentof Liabilities" that replaces Statement No. 125. This statement provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. The standards are based on the consistent application of the financial components approach, where upon after a transfer, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred and derecognizes financial liabilities when extinguished.

		This statement is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. This statement is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000.

		A transfer of financial assets in which the transferor surrenders control is accounted for as a sale to the extent that consideration other than beneficial interests in the transferred assets is received in exchange. This statement requires that liabilities and derivatives transferred be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. Servicing assets and other retained interests in the transferred assets are to be measured by allocating the previous carrying amount between the assets and retained interest sold, if any, based on their relative fair values are the date of the transfer.

		This statement requires the servicing assets and liabilities be subsequently measured by amortization in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income or loss and assessment for asset impairment or increased obligation based on their fair values.

		This statement also requires that a liability be derecognized if the debtor pays the creditor and is relieved of its obligation for the liability or the debtor is legally released from being the primary obligor under the liability either judicially or by the creditor.

		As Bancorp currently has no servicing assets, management believes there will be no material impact on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of Statement No. 140.
