1.Description of Plan:

  The  following brief description of the Pikeville National Corporation
  Savings  and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the Plan) is provided  for
  general information purposes only.  Participants should refer  to  the
  Plan document for more complete information.

  General:    The   Plan  is  a  defined  contribution   plan   covering
  substantially  all  employees of Pikeville National  Corporation  (the
  Company),  and all participating subsidiaries, which include Pikeville
  National  Bank  & Trust Company, First Security Bank & Trust  Company,
  Commercial  Bank  (West Liberty), Commercial Bank  (Middlesboro),  The
  Woodford  Bank and Trust Company, Farmers National Bank, The  Exchange
  Bank of Kentucky, First American Bank, Farmers-Deposit Bank, Community
  Trust  Bank,  FSB,  and  Trust Company  of  Kentucky.   The  Plan  was
  established, effective January 1, 1995, by the merger of the Pikeville
  National  Corporation  Restated Savings and Retirement  Plan  and  the
  Pikeville  National  Corporation Employee Stock Ownership  Plan.   The
  Plan  is  subject  to  certain provisions of the  Employee  Retirement
  Income Security Act of  1974 (ERISA).

  Eligibility:  An employee becomes eligible to participate in the  Plan
  on  the  entry  date  following the attainment of age  twenty-one  and
  completion  of  twelve months of employment (of at least  1,000  hours
  service).

  Contributions:    A   participant  may   elect   to   make   voluntary
  contributions,  through payroll deductions, to the  Plan  as  deferred
  compensation   contributions.   The  maximum   amount   of   voluntary
  contributions  shall  be  the  lesser  of  $9,500  (as  adjusted   for
  inflation)  for 1996 or 12% of the participant's compensation for  the
  plan  year.  The Company makes matching contributions equal to 50%  of
  the first 8% of each participant's deferred compensation contributions
  for  the  plan  year,  up  to  a total of  4%  of  such  participant's
  compensation.   Each participating company may, at the  discretion  of
  each  Board  of  Directors,  contribute an  additional  percentage  of
  covered employees' gross wages.

  In  addition,  each year the Company will contribute to  the  Plan  an
  amount no less than 3% of the compensation of each participant.  These
  contributions  are non-participant directed and are made  directly  to
  the  Trust  Fund (see Note 3).  During 1996 and 1995, the contribution
  percentage was 4%.

  With  the  permission  of  the Retirement Committee  of  the  Plan,  a
  participant  may  contribute rollover contributions received  by  such
  participant  or to which a participant is entitled from another  trust
  qualified under Section 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
  of   1986.    Such  rollover  contributions  are  deposited   in   the
  participant's rollover account.

1.Description of Plan, continued:

  Participants'  Accounts:  Each participant's account is credited  with
  employer  discretionary contributions, employee deferred  compensation
  contributions   and   the  related  employer  matching   contribution.
  Earnings  or losses on the investments are allocated in proportion  to
  the participant's interest therein.

  Each participant is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to
  the shares of Pikeville National Corporation common stock allocated to
  his  or  her  account and is notified by the Retirement  and  Employee
  Benefits  Committee  prior to the time that  such  rights  are  to  be
  exercised.   The  Retirement and Employee Benefits  Committee  is  not
  permitted  to  vote  any share for a participant.  The  trustee  votes
  shares for which no instructions have been given by a participant.

  Vesting:  Vesting of an employee's interest is 100% in cases of normal
  retirement  at  age  sixty-five, death  or  total  disability.   If  a
  participant's employment ceases for any other reason, the  full  value
  of  his  account is payable to him if he has completed  five  or  more
  years  of  service.  A participant who has completed  less  than  five
  years of service is entitled to the full value of his account less the
  value of the employer contributions.

  Payment  of Benefits:  Generally, participants' account balances  will
  be distributed to the participant or his beneficiary in a single lump-
  sum.

  Concentration  of  Credit Risk:  Plan assets are invested  in  various
  financial  instruments that contain some degree of credit  risk.   The
  Plan  does not maintain collateral or other security to support  these
  investments.

  At December 31, 1996, approximately 20% of Plan assets are invested in
  money market securities of companies with strong credit ratings, 4% of
  Plan  assets  are invested in mutual funds, 12% in equity common  fund
  which  is administered by the Company, 8% in US Government obligations
  and  mortgage backed securities, and 56% are invested in common  stock
  of Pikeville National Corporation.

  At December 31, 1995, approximately 27% of Plan assets are invested in
  money  market  securities  of companies with  strong  credit  ratings.
  Approximately 20% of Plan assets are invested in mutual funds,  4%  in
  an  equity common fund which is administered by Pikeville National and
  approximately  49%  are  invested in common  stock  of  the  Pikeville
  National Corporation.
<PAGE>

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

  Basis  of  Accounting:   The  accounting  records  of  the  Plan   are
  maintained on the accrual basis.  Dividend income is recorded  on  the
  ex-dividend date.  Purchases and sales of securities are recognized on
  the trade date basis.

  Valuation  of  Investments:  Investments in  securities  traded  on  a
  national exchange are valued at the last reported sales price  on  the
  last  business  day of the period.  Investments in mutual  equity  and
  bond  funds  and  common trust funds are valued  at  the  most  recent
  selling  price.   which is based on the current market  value  of  the
  securities in the fund.

  Use  of  Estimates:   The  preparation  of  financial  statements   in
  conformity  with  generally  accepted accounting  principles  requires
  management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the  reported
  amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent  assets
  and  liabilities  at  the dates of the financial  statements  and  the
  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the  reporting
  periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Other:   The  Plan presents in the statement of changes in net  assets
  available for benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair
  value  of  its investments which consists of realized gains or  losses
  and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on those investments.

3.Investments:

  All  amounts contributed to the Plan at December 31, 1996 are held  by
  the  trustee,  Trust  Company of Kentucky, and are  invested  in  five
  separate  investment funds as described below.  At December 31,  1995,
  Plan assets were held by PNC Bank, Kentucky, Inc.

  Participant Directed Funds:

     Stock  Fund:   The  Fund consists primarily of  Pikeville  National
     Corporation common stock.
     
     Federated  ARM Fund:  The Fund is primarily invested in  adjustable
     rate mortgages, government securities and fixed income investments.
     
     Equity Fund:  The Fund is primarily invested in three Mutual  Funds
     and  the  Pikeville National Equity Common Fund  with  the  primary
     investment  objective  to achieve increasing income  and  long-term
     appreciation of capital through the purchases of common  stock  and
     other equity investments.
     
     Money  Market  Fund:  The Fund is primarily invested in  short-term
     interest  bearing money market accounts.  The average  maturity  of
     the portfolio will usually be less than one year.
     
     Each  participant  must allocate the contributions  made  on  their
     behalf and the balances in their account among the foregoing  funds
     in  increments of 10%.  In the absence of an allocation, all  of  a
     participant's  contributions will be invested in the  Money  Market
     Fund.
     
  Non-Participant Directed Fund:
     
     Trust  Fund:   The  Fund consists primarily of  Pikeville  National
     Corporation common stock.

4.Income Tax Status

  The  Company  has  received a determination letter from  the  Internal
  Revenue  Service dated April 14, 1996, substantiating  that  the  Plan
  qualifies under Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code; as  such
  the  Plan is exempt from Federal income tax under Section 501 (a), and
  amounts contributed by the Company are not taxed to the employee until
  a  distribution from the Plan is received.  The plan administrator  is
  not  aware of any course of action or series of events that  may  have
  occurred that might adversely affect the plan's qualified status.

5.Plan Termination:

  Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
  right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time  and
  to  terminate  the Plan subject to the provisions of  ERISA.   In  the
  event  of termination, participants will become fully vested in  their
  accounts.

6.Party-In-Interest Transactions:

  Parties-in-interest are defined under Department of Labor  regulations
  as any fiduciary of the Plan, any party rendering service to the Plan,
  the   employer,  and  certain  others.   Professional  fees  for   the
  administration and audit of the Plan, investment of assets and trustee
  services are paid by the Company.

  The  Plan  held  the following part-in-interest investments  (at  fair
  value) at December 31:

                     Report of Independent Auditors
                                    
                                    

Pikeville National Corporation
  Retirement and Employee Benefits Committee


We  have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available  for
benefits  of  the  Pikeville National Corporation Savings  and  Employee
Stock  Ownership Plan as December 31, 1996 and the related statement  of
changes  in  net assets available for benefits for the year then  ended.
These   financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Plan's
management.   Our  responsibility is to  express  an  opinion  on  these
financial statements based on our audit.

We  conducted  our audit in accordance with generally accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform  the  audit
to  obtain  reasonable assurance about whether the financial  statements
are  free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on  a
test  basis,  evidence  supporting the amounts and  disclosures  in  the
financial  statements.  An audit also includes assessing the  accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating  the  overall financial statement presentation.   We  believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our  opinion,  the financial statements referred  to  above  present
fairly,  in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of  the  Pikeville  National  Corporation  Savings  and  Employee  Stock
Ownership  Plan  at  December 31, 1996 and the  changes  in  net  assets
available  for  benefits  for the year then  ended  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our  audit  was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion  on  the
basic  financial statements taken as a whole.  The Fund  Information  in
the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement  of
changes  in net assets available for benefits is presented for  purposes
of  additional analysis rather than to present the net assets  available
for  benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits  of  each
fund. The Fund Information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the 1996 basic financial statements and, in  our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation  to  the
1996 basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Report of Independent Accountants


Retirement and Employee Benefits Committee
Pikeville National Corporation
Pikeville, Kentucky

We  have  audited the statement of net assets available for benefits  of
the  Pikeville National Corporation Savings and Employee Stock Ownership
Plan as of December 31, 1995 and the related statement of changes in net
assets  available for benefits for the year then ended.  These financial
statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Plan's  management.   Our
responsibility  is  to express an opinion on these financial  statements
based on our audit.

We  conducted  our audit in accordance with generally accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform  the  audit
to  obtain  reasonable assurance about whether the financial  statements
are  free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on  a
test  basis,  evidence  supporting the amounts and  disclosures  in  the
financial  statements.  An audit also includes assessing the  accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating  the  overall financial statement presentation.   We  believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our  opinion,  the financial statements referred  to  above  present
fairly,  in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of  the  Pikeville  National  Corporation  Savings  and  Employee  Stock
Ownership  Plan as of December 31, 1995 and the changes  in  net  assets
available  for  benefits  for the year then  ended  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our  audit  was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion  on  the
basic financial statements taken as whole.  The fund information in  the
statement  of  net  assets available for benefits and the  statement  of
changes  in net assets available for benefits is presented for  purposes
of  additional analysis rather than to present the net assets  available
for  benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits  of  each
fund.    The  fund  information  has  been  subjected  to  the  auditing
procedures  applied in the audit of the basic financial statements  and,
in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
