Note 2 - Securities

      Securities  are classified into held-to-maturity, available-for-
sale,  and trading categories.  Held-to-maturity securities are  those
which  the  Company  has the positive intent and ability  to  hold  to
maturity  and  are  reported  at  amortized  cost.  Available-for-sale
securities  are those which the Company 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 available-for-
sale as of September 30, 1997 are summarized as follows:

                                            Amortized    Fair

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


Overview

      Community  Trust Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is  a  multi-bank
holding  company headquartered in Pikeville, Kentucky.   At  September
30,  1997 the Company owned one commercial bank, one savings bank  and
one trust company.  Through its affiliates, the Company has over sixty
banking  locations  serving 85,000 households in various  Eastern  and
Central  Kentucky  counties.  The Company had total  assets  of  $1.82
billion and total shareholders' equity of $157 million as of September
30,  1997.   The Company's common stock is listed on NASDAQ under  the
symbol CTBI.  Market makers are Herzog, Heine, Geduld, Inc., New York,
New  York;  J.J.B.  Hilliard, W.L. Lyons, Inc., Louisville,  Kentucky;
Morgan, Keegan and Company, Inc., Memphis, Tennessee; J.C. Bradford  &
Co.,  Louisville, Kentucky; Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc., New  York,  New
York;  Robinson  Humphrey  Co.,  Inc.,  Atlanta,  Georgia  and  Stifel
Nicolaus & Co., Incorporated, St. Louis, Missouri.

      Effective  January 1, 1997, the Company changed  its  name  from
Pikeville  National  Corporation  to Community  Trust  Bancorp,  Inc.,
changed  the  name of its lead bank from Pikeville National  Bank  and
Trust  Company  to  Community Trust Bank,  National  Association  (the
"Bank")  and  merged seven of its other commercial  bank  subsidiaries
into  the Bank.  As a result of these transactions, the Bank has  $1.6
billion  in  assets  and  numerous locations  throughout  eastern  and
central   Kentucky.  The  Company's  thrift  and  trust  subsidiaries,
Community Trust Bank, FSB and Trust Company of Kentucky, N.A.,  remain
wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and will continue to  operate
as independent entities.

Commercial Bank, West Liberty

      On July 1, 1997 the Company completed the sale of its Commercial
Bank, West Liberty, Kentucky, a wholly owned state bank subsidiary for
approximately  $10.2  million in cash, which  resulted  in  a  pre-tax
operating  gain  of  $3.0 million.  West Liberty had  $79  million  in
assets,  constituting  4% of the Company's total consolidated  assets.
Consistent  with the Company's strategic plan, the funds generated  by
the sale of West Liberty will provide the Company with the opportunity
to  expand existing or enter into new markets through either  internal
expansion or acquisitions.

Stock Dividend

     On February 18, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
10%  stock dividend.  This stock dividend, paid on April 15,  1997  to
shareholders  of  record on March 15, 1997, was  in  addition  to  the
regular quarterly cash dividends paid on (1) April 1, 1997 of 18 cents
per  share for shareholders of record on March 15, 1997, (2)  July  1,
1997  of  18  cents per share for shareholders of record on  June  15,
1997,  and  (3) October 1, 1997 of 18 cents per share for shareholders
of record on September 15, 1997.  All per share data has been restated
to reflect this stock dividend.

Income Statement Review

     The Company's net income for the three months ended September 30,
1997  was $4.4 million or $0.44 per share as compared to $4.9  million
or  $0.49  per  share for the three months ended September  30,  1996.
Total  earnings  for the nine months ended September  30,  1997   were
$16.5   million  or  $1.63  per  share,  including  a  first   quarter
extraordinary  item of $3.0 million or $0.30 per share received  in  a
settlement with a former vendor.  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  month  periods  ending
September 30, 1997 and 1996:

                                       Three months ended   Nine months ended

      The Company's net income for the third quarter of 1997 decreased
$494 thousand or 10% as compared to the same period in 1996.  Earnings
per  share decreased $0.05 per share or 10% for the three months ended
September  30, 1997, as compared to the third quarter  of  1996.   The
decrease  in  net  income was the result of increases  in  noninterest
expense,  including  personnel, training, and advertising, which  were
to  a  large  extent  offset by increases in net interest  income  and
higher  noninterest income. Training and personnel expenses  were  the
result  of  planning  and implementation of the consolidation  of  the
merged  affiliates  which occurred on January  1,  1997.   Advertising
increases  occurred so that the Company's name change  would  be  well
recognized  in  our  market areas. Noninterest income  increased  $358
thousand for the quarter, not counting the $3.0 million operating gain
on  the  sale of the West Liberty affiliate, as compared to the  third
quarter  of  1996.  Noninterest expense for the quarter  increased  by
$1.2 million as compared to the same period in 1996.  See "Noninterest
Expense" below for an explanation of the increase.

      Provision  for loan losses for the three months ended  September
30,  1997  was  $4.0 million, compared to $2.0 million  for  the  same
period  in  1996.  For the nine months ended September  30,  1997  the
provision  was  $7.5 million, a 45% increase over the same  period  in
1996.  See "Provision For Loan Losses" below for an explanation of the
increase.


Net Interest Income

      Net  interest  income decreased $355 thousand or 2%  from  $19.1
million  for the third quarter of 1996 to $18.7 million for the  third
quarter  of 1997.  Interest income and interest expense both increased
for  the  quarter ending September 30, 1997 as compared  to  the  same
period  in  1996,  with interest income increasing  $5.6  million  and
interest expense increasing $3.1 million.

      The  decrease in net interest income for the three month  period
was  primarily due to a lower net interest margin from a  year-to-year
comparison.   The loan-to-deposit ratio at the end of  September  1997
was  92.83% as compared to 85.63% for the end of September 1996, after
accounting  for  the securitization of approximately  $81  million  in
retail installment contracts which were sold in June 1997.
<PAGE>

      The  yield on interest earning assets increased 18 basis  points
for  the third quarter of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.
The  cost of interest bearing funds increased 34 basis points for  the
third  quarter of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.   As  a
result,  the  net interest margin decreased from 4.73% for  the  third
quarter of 1996 to 4.67% for the current quarter.  For the nine months
ended  September  30,  1997  the  yield  on  interest  earning  assets
increased  13 basis points from 8.96% in 1996 to 9.09% in  1997.   The
cost of interest bearing funds increased 18 basis points from 4.86% in
1996  to 5.04% in 1997.  As a result, the net interest margin for  the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased 4 basis points to 4.75%
from the same period in 1996.

      The  Company's  loan  portfolio,  its  highest  yielding  asset,
continues  to expand through new market share and internally generated
growth.   The  Company's  loan portfolio  increased  7.9%  from  $1.27
billion  for the third quarter of 1996 to $1.37 billion for the  third
quarter  of  1997,  after giving effect to a  reduction  in  the  loan
portfolio  resulting  from  the securitization  of  approximately  $81
million  of  indirect retail installment loans in  June  1997.   Loans
accounted  for 87% of total interest income for the third  quarter  of
1997 compared to 84% for the third quarter of 1996.

     The following table summarizes the annualized net interest spread
and  net interest margin for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1997 and 1996.

Provision for Loan Losses

      The analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses and
selected ratios is set forth below.

                                              Nine Months Ended
                                                September 30

Allowance for loan losses to 
 period-end loans                                1.48%    1.48%
Average loans, net of unearned income       $1,331,744 $1,190,893
Provision for loan losses to
 average loans, annualized                        .56%     .43%
Loan charge-offs, net of recoveries to
 average loans, annualized                        .41%     .21%
<PAGE>

      The  Company increased its provision for loan losses as a result
of  the  growth in its consumer loan portfolio, a loan category  which
traditionally  experiences higher charge-offs and higher  yields  than
other loans; and to a lesser degree, due to its increase in net charge-
offs,  measured in raw dollars.  Net charge-offs represent the  amount
of  loans  charged  off  less amounts recovered  on  loans  previously
charged  off.   Net  charge-offs  as a  percentage  of  average  loans
outstanding  increased 20 basis points to 0.41% for  the  nine  months
ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.   The
Company's  non-performing loans (90 days or more  past  due  and  non-
accrual)  were  1.22% and 1.44% of outstanding loans at  December  31,
1996 and September 30, 1997, respectively.

      Any  loans classified as loss, doubtful, substandard or  special
mention  that  are  not included in non-performing loans  do  not  (1)
represent  or  result  from trends or uncertainties  which  management
reasonably  expects  will materially impact future operating  results,
liquidity or capital resources or (2) represent material credits about
which  management has knowledge of any information which  would  cause
management  to have serious doubts as to the ability of the  borrowers
to comply with the loan repayment terms.  The Company does not believe
there  are  currently  any trends, events or  uncertainties  that  are
reasonably likely to have a material effect on the volume of its  non-
performing loans.


Noninterest Income

     The Company's noninterest income increased 91% from $3.70 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $7.05 million for the
three  months ended September 30, 1997. This increase included a  $3.0
million  operating  gain from the sale of the Company's  West  Liberty
affiliate, which was sold on July 1.  Otherwise, deposit-related  fees
represent the largest category of increase, while gains on the sale of
loans declined from the same period in 1996.

Noninterest Expense

      The  Company's noninterest expense increased by  9%  from  $13.7
million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $14.9 million
for  the  same  period in 1997. Most major categories  of  noninterest
expense experienced increases for the quarter ended September 30, 1997
compared  to the same quarter in 1996.  The categories showing  larger
increases   were  salaries  and  employee  benefits,   occupancy   and
equipment, and data processing.  The increases are attributed to:  (1)
the  cost  of expansion as the Company has opened additional  branches
over  the  past several months and (2) the temporary costs  associated
with  consolidating the processing functions of the  seven  commercial
banks that merged into the Bank on January 1, 1997.

Balance Sheet Review

      Total asset size was $1.82 billion at December 31, 1996 compared
to  $1.82  billion at September 30, 1997.  The Company's total  assets
were  impacted  by the sale of Commercial Bank, West Liberty  in  July
1997,  which  had assets of $76 million. During the last nine  months,
loans increased from $1.31 billion to $1.37 billion, excluding the $81
million  loan  securitization. The asset category which declined  most
was  securities available-for-sale; as these securities  are  sold  or
mature,  the  liquidity  is  being used to  fund  the  Company's  loan
portfolio growth.
<PAGE>

      The  Company's largest liability, deposits, declined from  $1.48
billion  as of December 31, 1996 to $1.43 billion as of September  30,
1997.   The decline in deposits was marginal in both interest  bearing
and  noninterest bearing as noninterest bearing deposits declined from
$200.2 million at December 31, 1996 to $180.9 million at September 30,
1997. The Company increased its long-term debt during the period  from
$19.1 million as of December 31, 1996 to $53.5 million as of September
30,  1997,  due  to the issuance of $34.5 million in  Trust  Preferred
Securities  in  April 1997.  The Company's advances from  the  Federal
Home  Loan Bank increased from $111.0 million at December 31, 1996  to
$122.6  million  at  September  30, 1997  as  the  Company  used  this
liquidity as a source of funding for loan growth.


Loans

      Loans increased from $1.32 billion as of June 30, 1997 to  $1.35
billion as of September 30, 1997, primarily due to the growth  of  the
Company's  consumer loan portfolio.  The category of commercial  loans
secured  by real estate increased from $271.5 million as of  June  30,
1997 to $291.3 million as of September 30, 1997.

     Non-accrual and 90 days past due loans amounted to 1.22% of total
loans  outstanding as of December 31, 1996 and 1.44%  of  total  loans
outstanding  as  of   September  30, 1997.   Non-accrual  loans  as  a
percentage  of total loans outstanding were 0.78% as of  December  31,
1996  and  at  0.87% at September 30, 1997.  During the  same  period,
loans 90 days or more past due increased 13 basis points from 0.44% of
total  loans  outstanding  to 0.57%.  The allowance  for  loan  losses
increased  from  1.44% of total loans outstanding as of  December  31,
1996  to 1.48% as of September 30, 1997. The allowance for loan losses
as  a  percentage of non-accrual loans and loans past due 90  days  or
more was 118% at December 31, 1996 and 103% at September 30, 1997.

      The following table summarizes the Company's loans that are non-
accrual  or  past  due 90 days or more as of September  30,  1997  and
December 31, 1996.

Allowance for loan losses

     Management analyzes the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses
on  a  quarterly basis.  The loan portfolio of each market  region  is
analyzed  by each major loan category, with a review of the  following
areas: (i) specific allocations based upon a review of selected  loans
for  loss potential; (ii) an allocation which estimates reserves based
upon  the  remaining  pool  of  loans in each  category  derived  from
historical net charge-off data, delinquency trends and other  relevant
factors  and  (iii)  an  unallocated portion of  the  allowance  which
provides for a margin of error in estimating the allocations described
above  and provides for risks inherent in the portfolio which may  not
be specifically addressed elsewhere.

      Off-balance  sheet  risk is addressed by  including  letters  of
credit  in  the  Company's allowance adequacy analysis and  through  a
monthly  review of all letters of credit outstanding.   The  Company's
loan   review  and  problem  loan  analysis  includes  evaluation   of
deteriorating  letters of credit.  Volume and trends in  delinquencies
are  monitored monthly by management, regional advisory boards and the
boards of directors of the respective banks.


Securities

      The  Company uses its securities held-to-maturity for production
of  income  and to manage cash flow needs through expected maturities.
The  Company  uses its securities available-for-sale  for  income  and
balance  sheet  liquidity management.  The book  value  of  securities
available-for-sale decreased from $230.0 million as  of  December  31,
1996  to $170.6 million as of September 30, 1997.  Securities held-to-
maturity  declined  from $137.8 million to $120.6 million  during  the
same  period.  Total securities as a percentage of total  assets  were
20.3% as of December 31, 1996 and 16.0% as of September 30, 1997.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Company's liquidity objectives are to ensure that funds  are
available  for  the  affiliate banks to meet deposit  withdrawals  and
credit  demands without unduly penalizing profitability, and to ensure
that  funding is available for the Company to meet ongoing cash  needs
while  maximizing  profitability.  The Company continues  to  identify
ways  to provide for liquidity on both a current and long-term  basis.
The  subsidiary  banks rely mainly on core deposits,  certificates  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 banks also rely on the sale of  securities
under repurchase agreements, securities available-for-sale and Federal
Home Loan Bank borrowings.

      Deposits  decreased  from $1.48 billion to  $1.43  billion  from
December 31, 1996 to September 30, 1997.  Noninterest bearing deposits
decreased  by $19.3 million while interest bearing deposits  decreased
by $32.0 million.

      Due to the nature of the markets served by the subsidiary banks,
management believes that the majority of its certificates of  deposits
of  $100,000  or  more are no more volatile than  its  core  deposits.
During  the  periods  of  low interest rates, these  deposit  balances
remained  stable  as  a  percentage of total deposits.   In  addition,
arrangements have been made with correspondent banks for the  purchase
of  federal funds on an unsecured basis, up to an aggregate of  nearly
$100 million, if necessary, to meet the Company's liquidity needs.
<PAGE>

      The  Company owns $170.6 million of securities valued at  market
price that are designated as available-for-sale and available to  meet
liquidity  needs on a continuing basis.  The Company  also  relies  on
Federal  Home Loan Bank advances for both liquidity and management  of
its  asset/liability  position.  These advances  have  sometimes  been
matched against pools of residential mortgage loans which are not sold
in the secondary market, some of which have original maturities of ten
to  fifteen  years.  Federal Home Loan Bank  advances  increased  from
$111.0  million  as  of  December 31, 1996 to  $122.6  million  as  of
September 30, 1997.

      The  Company  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  Company
currently  has a $17.5 million revolving line of credit  available  to
meet  any  future  cash needs.  (See long-term debt  footnote  to  the
consolidated  financial statements.)  The Company's primary  investing
activities include purchases of securities and loan originations.

       In  conjunction  with  maintaining  a  satisfactory  level   of
liquidity,  management  monitors the  degree  of  interest  rate  risk
assumed on the balance sheet.  The Company monitors its interest  rate
risk  by  use  of the static and dynamic gap models at  the  one  year
interval.   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 Company uses the Sendero system to monitor its interest rate risk.
The  Company  desires an interest sensitivity gap  of  not  more  than
fifteen percent of total assets at the one year interval.

      On  a limited basis, the Company may use interest rate swaps and
sales  of  options  on  securities as  additional  tools  in  managing
interest rate risk.  Interest rate swaps involve an exchange  of  cash
flows based on the notional principal amount and agreed upon fixed and
variable  interest  rates.   In this transaction,  the  Company  would
typically agreed to pay a floating interest rate based on London Inter-
Bank  Offering  Rate  (LIBOR) and receive a  fixed  interest  rate  in
return.  On options, the Company would typically sell the right  to  a
third  party to purchase securities the Company currently  owns  at  a
fixed  price on a future date.  The Company had no options outstanding
at  September  30,  1997.  The impact on operations of  interest  rate
swaps  and  options was not material during the first nine  months  of
1996 or 1997.

      The Company's principal source of funds used to pay dividends to
shareholders and service long-term debt is the dividends  it  receives
from   subsidiary   banks.   Various  federal  and   state   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  Company's  dividend policy or its ability  to  service  long-term
debt,  nor  is it anticipated that they will have any major impact  in
the  foreseeable  future.  In addition to the subsidiary  banks'  1997
profits,  approximately $4.5 million can be paid  to  the  Company  as
dividends without prior regulatory approval.

      The  primary  source  of  capital for the  Company  is  retained
earnings.  The Company paid cash dividends of $0.54 per share for  the
first  nine  months  of 1997 and $0.48 per share for  the  first  nine
months  of  1996.  Earnings per share for the same periods were  $1.63
and $1.38, respectively.  The Company retained 75% of earnings for the
first nine months of 1997.
<PAGE>

      Under  guidelines issued by banking regulators, the Company  and
its  subsidiary banks are required to maintain a minimum Tier 1  risk-
based capital ratio of 4% and a minimum total risk-based ratio of  8%.
Risk-based  capital  ratios weight the relative risk  factors  of  all
assets  and consider the risk associated with off-balance sheet items.
The  Company must also maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of  4%
as of September 30, 1997.  The Company's Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-
based  and  total  risk-based ratios were 7.94%,  10.21%  and  11.46%,
respectively as of September 30, 1997.

      As of September 30, 1997, 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  Company's  liquidity,  capital
resources, or operations.


Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

     The majority of the Company's assets and liabilities are monetary
in   nature.   Therefore,  the  Company  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 the most significant impact on financial and
operating  results  is the Company'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.
