Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (which consist of normal recurring accruals) necessary, to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2005, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, these statements do not include certain information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete annual financial statements. Financial information as of December 31, 2004 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004, included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Principles of Consolidation - The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its separate and distinct, wholly owned subsidiaries Community Trust Bank, Inc. (the “Bank”) and Community Trust and Investment Company. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

ØAccounting for Certain Loans and Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer - In December 2003, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans and Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer. SOP 03-3 addresses the accounting for certain acquired loans that show evidence of credit deterioration since their origination (i.e. impaired loans) and for which a loss is deemed probable of occurring. SOP 03-3 prohibits the carryover of an allowance for loan loss on certain acquired loans within its scope. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans that are acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. The adoption of this Statement had no material effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

ØStock-Based Employee Compensation - The Corporation currently maintains two incentive stock option plans covering key employees; however, only one plan is active. The 1998 Stock Option Plan ("1998 Plan") was approved by the Board of Directors and the Shareholders in 1998. All options granted have a maximum term of ten years. Options granted as management retention options vest after five years, all other options vest ratably over four years. The Corporation has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB Opinion No. 25, because the exercise price of all employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

Had compensation cost for the Corporation’s stock options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 been determined under the fair value approach described in SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Corporation’s net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

		Three Months Ended September 30						Nine Months Ended September 30
(in thousands except per share amounts)			2005			2004			2005			2004
Net income as reported		$	9,083		$	8,014		$	25,522		$	23,050
Stock-based compensation expense			(147	)		(100	)		(444	)		(290	)
Tax effect			51			35			155			101
Net income pro forma		$	8,987		$	7,949		$	25,233		$	22,861
Basic earnings per share	As reported	$	0.61		$	0.54		$	1.71		$	1.56
Pro forma			0.60			0.54			1.70			1.54
Diluted earnings per share	As reported	$	0.60		$	0.53		$	1.68		$	1.53
Pro forma			0.59			0.53			1.66			1.52

In December 2004, SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, was issued. SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. Among other items, SFAS No. 123R eliminates the use of APB Opinion No. 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair value of those awards, in the financial statements. The effective date of SFAS No. 123R for the Corporation is January 1, 2006.

SFAS No. 123R permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a "modified prospective" method, or a "modified retrospective" method. Under the "modified prospective" method, the compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after that date, and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R. Under the "modified retrospective" method, the requirements are the same as under the "modified prospective" method, but this method also permits entities to restate financial statements of previous periods based on pro forma disclosures made in accordance with SFAS No. 123. The Corporation currently utilizes a standard option pricing model (i.e., Black-Scholes) to measure the fair value of stock options granted to employees. While SFAS No. 123R permits entities to continue to use such a model, the standard also permits the use of a "lattice" model. The Corporation has not yet determined which model it will use to measure the fair value of employee stock options upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. SFAS No. 123R also requires that the benefits associated with the tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after the effective date. These future amounts cannot be estimated, because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options. The Corporation has not yet determined which of the aforementioned adoption methods it will use.

Note 2 - Securities

Securities are classified into held-to-maturity and available-for-sale categories. Held-to-maturity securities are those that the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities are those that the Corporation may decide to sell if needed for liquidity, asset-liability management or other reasons. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses included as a separate component of equity, net of tax.

The amortized cost and fair value of securities at September 30, 2005 are summarized as follows:

On June 10, 2005, Community Trust Bank, Inc., the bank subsidiary of Community Trust Bancorp, Inc., completed the acquisition of Heritage Community Bank of Danville, Kentucky. All former Heritage Community Bank ("Heritage") offices now operate as branch offices of Community Trust Bank, Inc. The Corporation obtained loans totaling $73.7 million, cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8.1 million, and deposits totaling $69.8 million from this acquisition. The total cost of the acquisition, including direct acquisition costs, was $12.4 million. Goodwill and core deposit intangible of approximately $5.5 million was recorded based on an allocation of fair value. The allocations of purchase price are based upon valuation information which was provided in the second and third quarters of 2005. Pro forma information has not been presented since the impact of the acquisition is not significant.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, many of which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty, the actual results will inevitably differ from our estimates. Such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.

We believe the application of accounting policies and the estimates required therein are reasonable. These accounting policies and estimates are constantly reevaluated, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change. Historically, we have found our application of accounting policies to be appropriate, and actual results have not differed materially from those determined using necessary estimates.

Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements incorporated in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Loans - Loans are reported at the carrying value of unpaid principal plus net deferred loan fees or costs and reduced by unearned interest and an allowance for loan losses. Income is recorded on the level yield basis. Interest accrual is discontinued when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions, collateral value, and collection efforts, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Any loan greater than 90 days past due must be well secured and in the process of collection to continue accruing interest. Cash payments received on nonaccrual loans generally are applied against principal, and interest income is only recorded once principal recovery is reasonably assured. Loans are not reclassified as accruing until principal and interest payments are brought current and future payments appear reasonably certain.

Allowance for Loan Losses - The adequacy of the allowance is reviewed quarterly by management using a methodology that includes several key factors. The Corporation utilizes an internal risk grading system for commercial credits, and those larger commercial credits identified through this grading system as having weaknesses are individually reviewed for the customer's ability and potential to repay their loans. The borrower’s cash flow, adequacy of collateral held for the loan, and other options available to the Corporation including legal avenues are all evaluated. Based upon this individual credit evaluation, a specific allocation to the allowance may be made for the loan.

For other commercial loans that are not individually evaluated, an allowance allocation is determined by applying an eight-quarter moving average historical loss rate for this group of loans. Consumer installment and residential mortgage loans are not individually risk graded. Allowance allocations are provided for these pools of loans based upon an eight-quarter moving average historical loss rate for each of these categories of loans.

An unallocated portion of the allowance is also determined in recognition of the inherent inability to precisely determine the loss potential in any particular loan or pool of loans. The factors considered by management in determining this amount of inherent risk include delinquency trends, current economic conditions and trends, strength of the supervision and administration of the loan portfolio, level of nonperforming loans, trend in loan losses, recovery rates associated with previously charged-off loans, concentrations within commercial credits, problem loan identification strengths and weaknesses, collateral evaluation strengths and weaknesses, and the level of financial statement exceptions. These factors are reviewed quarterly and weighted as deemed appropriate by management. The total of these weighted factors is then applied against the total loan portfolio and the allowance is adjusted accordingly.

Investments - Management determines the classification of securities at purchase. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, the Corporation classifies securities into held-to-maturity or available-for-sale categories. Held-to-maturity securities are those which the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities are those the Corporation may decide to sell if needed for liquidity, asset/liability management, or other reasons. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax. If declines in fair value are not temporary, the carrying value of the securities is written down to fair value as a permanent impairment.

Gains or losses on disposition of securities are computed by specific identification for all securities except for shares in mutual funds, which are computed by average cost. Interest and dividend income, adjusted by amortization of purchase premium or discount, is included in earnings.

Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized in a valuation allowance by charges to income.

Goodwill - The Corporation evaluates total goodwill for impairment, based upon SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and SFAS No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, using fair value techniques including multiples of price/equity. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis.

Statement of Income Review

The Corporation reported record earnings for the third quarter 2005 of $9.1 million or $0.61 per basic share compared to $8.0 million or $0.54 per basic share earned during the third quarter of 2004 and $8.5 million or $0.57 per basic share earned during the second quarter of 2005. Year-to-date earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $25.5 million or $1.71 per basic share compared to $23.1 million or $1.56 per basic share for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

The Corporation had basic weighted average shares outstanding of 14.9 million and 14.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. The following table sets forth on an annualized basis the return on average assets and return on average shareholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004:

	Three months ended					Nine months ended
	September 30					September 30

Net Interest Income

Our net interest margin of 4.08% for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 was flat to the quarter ended September 30, 2004 and a 13 basis point increase from 3.95% for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The increase in the net interest margin was primarily attributable to our increased yield on interest earning assets from prior quarter.

The following table summarizes the annualized net interest spread and net interest margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.

Noninterest income for the third quarter 2005 was positively impacted by increases in both deposit and loan related fees. Deposit related fees for the third quarter 2005 increased $0.2 million or 4.3% compared to prior year third quarter and $0.3 million or 5.9% compared to the second quarter 2005. Loan related fees for the third quarter 2005 increased $0.1 million or 5.5% compared to prior year third quarter and $0.1 million or 9.0% compared to the second quarter 2005. The increase in loan related fees primarily consisted of increases in consumer lending fees.

Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 was also positively impacted by $0.3 million compared to the third quarter 2004 and by $0.2 million compared to the second quarter 2005 because of the recovery in the fair value of our capitalized mortgage servicing rights.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense of $19.8 million was a 4.6% increase from the $18.9 million for the third quarter 2004 and a 0.5% increase from the second quarter 2005. The increase in noninterest expense is reflective of the additional operating expenses, primarily personnel, associated with the three new branches and two new loan production offices which have been opened in the past 12 months, as well as the two recently acquired branches. Included in the three new branches is the Allen, Kentucky branch which opened on October 3, 2005.

Balance Sheet Review

The Corporation’s assets were $2.8 billion at September 30, 2005, an increase of 6.7% from September 30, 2004 and an annualized increase of 6.1% from December 31, 2004. Total assets decreased $10.8 million from June 30, 2005 as a result of the payment of $43 million in FHLB advances which matured during the third quarter 2005.

Total deposits and repurchase agreements of $2.4 billion at September 30, 2005 represent an increase of 10.8% from September 30, 2004 and an annualized increase of 8.2% from December 31, 2004. Deposit growth year-over-year excluding the Heritage acquisition totaled $159.9 million, or 7.5%.

Shareholders’ equity of $250.3 million on September 30, 2005 was a 7.5% increase from the $232.9 million on September 30, 2004 and an annualized increase of 8.0% from the $236.2 million on December 31, 2004.

The Corporation's annualized dividend yield to shareholders based on ending market value at September 30, 2005 was 2.98%.

Loans

The Corporation's loan portfolio grew 12.8% or $239.1 million from September 30, 2004 and an annualized 14.2% or $201.5 million from December 31, 2004, as growth occurred in all three major loan categories, commercial, residential real estate, and consumer loans. Loan growth year-over-year, excluding the Heritage acquisition which occurred in June 2005, totaled $165.4 million, or 8.9%.

The following tables summarize the Corporation’s nonperforming loans as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

Nonperforming loans at September 30, 2005 were $21.8 million, or 1.0% of total loans, compared to $20.1 million, or 1.1% of total loans, at December 31, 2004 and $21.4 million, or 1.0% of total loans, at June 30, 2005. The increase in nonperforming loans was minimal with respect to the increase in the loan portfolio; therefore, the percentage of nonperforming loans to total loans decreased. The mix of nonperforming loans changed, however, as nonaccrual loans decreased $2.0 million from prior quarter and loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest increased $2.3 million from prior quarter. Loans past due 90 days or more must be well secured and in the process of collection to continue accruing interest.

Foreclosed properties on September 30, 2005 were $5.7 million, an increase from the $4.8 million reported at December 31, 2004 but a decrease from the $5.9 million at June 30, 2005.

In conjunction with the Heritage acquisition on June 10, 2005, the Corporation acquired loans approximating $73.7 million. Heritage's allowance for loan losses at the acquisition date of June 10, 2005 was approximately $1.8 million. The Corporation applied the guidance required under SOP 03-3 and determined that no loans acquired in the Heritage acquisition had evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and it is probable that all remaining contractual required payments will be collected.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses balance is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover anticipated probable losses based on past loss experience, general economic conditions, information about specific borrower situations including their financial position and collateral values, and other factors and estimates which are subject to change over time. This analysis is completed quarterly and forms the basis for allocation of the loan loss reserve and what charges to the provision may be required. For further discussion of the allowance for loan losses, see the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section presented earlier in Item 2.

Securities

The Corporation uses its securities held-to-maturity for production of income and to manage cash flow needs through expected maturities. The Corporation uses its securities available-for-sale for income and balance sheet liquidity management. Securities available-for-sale reported at fair value decreased from $482.3 million as of December 31, 2004 to $419.2 million at September 30, 2005; the excess of market over cost decreased from a positive $1.6 million to a negative $1.9 million. Securities held-to-maturity decreased from $62.7 million to $51.0 million during the same period. Total securities as a percentage of total assets were 20.1% as of December 31, 2004 and 16.6% as of September 30, 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Corporation’s liquidity objectives are to ensure that funds are available for the subsidiary bank to meet deposit withdrawals and credit demands without unduly penalizing profitability. Additionally, the Corporation's objectives ensure that funding is available for the Corporation to meet ongoing cash needs while maximizing profitability. The Corporation continues to identify ways to provide for liquidity on both a current and long-term basis. The subsidiary bank relies mainly on core deposits, certificates of deposits of $100,000 or more, repayment of principal and interest on loans and securities and federal funds sold and purchased to create long-term liquidity. The subsidiary bank also has available the sale of securities under repurchase agreements, securities available-for-sale, and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings as secondary sources of liquidity.

Due to the nature of the markets served by the subsidiary bank, management believes that the majority of its certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more are no more volatile than its core deposits. During periods of interest rate volatility, these deposit balances have remained stable as a percentage of total deposits. In addition, an arrangement has been made with a correspondent bank for the purchase of federal funds on an unsecured basis, up to $20 million, if necessary, to meet the Corporation’s liquidity needs.

The Corporation owns securities with an estimated fair value of $419.2 million that are designated as available-for-sale and available to meet liquidity needs on a continuing basis. The Corporation also has available Federal Home Loan Bank advances for both liquidity and management of its asset/liability position. FHLB advances decreased to $129.5 million at September 30, 2005 from $162.4 million at December 31, 2004as a result of the payment of $43 million in FHLB advances which matured during the third quarter 2005. FHLB borrowing capacity at September 30, 2005 was $257.9 million. Long-term debt remained at $59.5 million from December 31, 2004 to September 30, 2005. At September 30, 2005, the Corporation had $27.0 million in federal funds sold compared to $50.9 million at December 31, 2004. Additionally, management projects cash flows from the Corporation's investment portfolio to generate additional liquidity over the next 90 days.

The Corporation generally relies upon net inflows of cash from financing activities, supplemented by net inflows of cash from operating activities, to provide cash for its investing activities. As is typical of many financial institutions, significant financing activities include deposit gathering, use of short-term borrowing facilities such as federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, and issuance of long-term debt. The Corporation currently has a $12 million revolving line of credit, all of which is currently available to meet any future cash needs. The Corporation’s primary investing activities include purchases of securities and loan originations.

The investment portfolio continues to consist of high-quality short-term issues. The majority of the investment portfolio is in U.S. Government and agency issuances. The average life of the portfolio is3.42 years.Available-for-sale ("AFS") securities comprise89.2%of the total investment portfolio. At the end of the third quarter, the AFS portfoliowas $419.2 million or 167%of equity capital.Seventy-nine percentof the pledge eligible portfolio is pledged.

The Corporation's stock repurchase program began in December 1998 with the authorization to acquire up to 500,000 shares and was increased by an additional 1,000,000 shares in July 2000. The Corporation issued a press release on May 13, 2004 announcing its intention to repurchase up to 1,000,000 additional shares. The Corporation’s stock repurchase program continues to be accretive to shareholder value. During the first nine months of 2005, the Corporation acquired no shares of the Corporation's stock. As of September 30, 2005, a total of 1,921,481 shares have been repurchased through this program.

In conjunction with maintaining a satisfactory level of liquidity, management monitors the degree of interest rate risk assumed on the consolidated balance sheet. The Corporation monitors its interest rate risk by use of the static gap model and dynamic gap model at the one-year interval. The Corporation uses the Sendero system to monitor its interest rate risk. The static gap model monitors the difference in interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities as a percentage of total assets that mature within the specified time frame. The dynamic gap model goes further in that it assumes that interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities will be reinvested. The Corporation desires an interest sensitivity gap of not more than fifteen percent of total assets at the one-year interval.

The Corporation’s principal source of funds used to pay dividends to shareholders and service long-term debt is the dividends it receives from the subsidiary bank. Various federal statutory provisions, in addition to regulatory policies and directives, limit the amount of dividends that subsidiary banks can pay without prior regulatory approval. These restrictions have had no major impact on the Corporation’s dividend policy or its ability to service long-term debt, nor is it anticipated that they would have any major impact in the foreseeable future. During the remainder of 2005, approximately $45.2 million plus any remaining 2005 net profits can be paid by the Corporation’s banking subsidiary without prior regulatory approval.

The primary source of capital for the Corporation is retained earnings. The Corporation paid cash dividends of $0.72 per share during the first nine months of 2005. Basic earnings per share for the same period was $1.71. The Corporation retained 57.9% of earnings for the first nine months of 2005.

Under guidelines issued by banking regulators, the Corporation and its subsidiary bank are required to maintain a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% and a minimum total risk-based ratio of 8%. In order to be considered “well-capitalized” the Corporation must maintain ratios of 6% and 10%, respectively. Risk-based capital ratios weight the relative risk factors of all assets and consider the risk associated with off-balance sheet items. The Corporation must also maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. The well-capitalized ratio for Tier 1 leverage is 5%. The Corporation’s Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based, and total risk-based ratios were 8.68%, 11.34%, and 12.59%, respectively, as of September 30, 2005, all exceeding the threshold for meeting the definition of well-capitalized.

As of September 30, 2005, management is not aware of any current recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have, or would be reasonably likely to have, a material adverse impact on the Corporation’s liquidity, capital resources, or operations.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The majority of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Therefore, the Corporation differs greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investment in nonmonetary assets, such as fixed assets and inventories. However, inflation does have an important impact on the growth of assets in the banking industry and on the resulting need to increase equity capital at higher than normal rates in order to maintain an appropriate equity to assets ratio. Inflation also affects other expenses, which tend to rise during periods of general inflation.

Management believes one of the most significant impacts on financial and operating results is the Corporation’s ability to react to changes in interest rates. Management seeks to maintain an essentially balanced position between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against the effects of wide interest rate fluctuations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest rate risk management focuses on maintaining consistent growth in net interest income within Board-approved policy limits. The Corporation uses an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to movements in interest rates. Given a 200 basis point increase to the yield curve used in the simulation model, it is estimated net interest income for the Corporation would increase by 4.75 percent over one year and by 3.64 percent over two years. A 100 basis point decrease in the yield curve would decrease net interest income by an estimated 2.50 percent over one year and by 1.46 percent over two years. For further discussion of the Corporation's market risk, see the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Market Risk included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Corporation's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of September 30, 2005, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Controller, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2005 were effective in ensuring material information required to be disclosed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis. Additionally, there were no changes in the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.

Management's responsibilities related to establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures include maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting that are designed to produce reliable financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. There have been no significant changes in the Corporation's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to September 30, 2005.
