In Brief: Profits Off 5.6% at Ky.'s Pikeville National

PIKEVILLE, Ky. - Pikeville National Corp. reported net income of $2.4 million in the first quarter, a 5.6% decline.

The $1.4 billion-asset company said the slide resulted from its back- office overhaul and other structural changes that will eventually produce savings. It expects a setback in second-quarter earnings as well.

Noninterest income increased 29%, to $2.5 million. Assets increased by 7%.

Pikeville recently completed its acquisition of Community Bank of Lexington, whose two offices were converted into Pikeville branches. The bank also expects to complete the acquisitions of two other banks in the second quarter, it said.
