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 March 31, 1997 are summarized as follows:

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.   The  Company
owns  two  commercial banks, one savings bank and one  trust  company.
Through  its affiliates, the Company has over sixty banking  locations
serving  85,000  households in nineteen Eastern and  Central  Kentucky
counties.   The  Company had total assets of $1.82 billion  and  total
shareholders'  equity  of $150 million as  of  March  31,  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 forty-two offices in twelve Kentucky  counties.
The Company's thrift and trust subsidiaries, Community Trust Bank, FSB
and  Trust Company of Kentucky, remain subsidiaries of the Company and
will continue to operate as independent entities.
      The  Company  excluded  its  subsidiary  Commercial  Bank,  West
Liberty,  Kentucky ("West Liberty") from the merger of its  commercial
bank  subsidiaries  into  the Bank. The Company  has  entered  into  a
definitive  agreement, subject to regulatory approval,  to  sell  West
Liberty to Commercial Bancshares, Inc., of West Liberty, Kentucky  for
cash  of  $10.2  million.   West Liberty has $73  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  in  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, payable on April 15, 1997 to
shareholders  of  record on March 15, 1997, was  in  addition  to  the
regular quarterly cash dividend paid on April 1, 1997 of 18 cents  per
share for shareholders of record on March 15, 1997. All per share data
has been restated to reflect this stock dividend.

Trust Preferred Offering

     On April 16, 1997 the Company issued $34,500,000 of 9% Cumulative
Trust  Preferred  Securities.  Proceeds  from  the  offering  will  be
applied  to  the  Company's general funds to  be  used  for  expansion
through new branches and acquisitions, to fund growth in the Company's
indirect consumer loan portfolio and for general corporate purposes.
<PAGE>

      The Trust Preferred Securities were issued by CTBI Preferred
Capital  Trust, a newly formed Delaware business trust  subsidiary  of
the  Corporation.  The Trust Preferred Securities were issued  at  $25
per  share and are quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market
under  the  symbol  "CTBIP".   Morgan  Keegan  &  Company  and  J.J.B.
Hilliard, W.L. Lyons, Inc. were the underwriters for the offering.

Income Statement Review

      The  Company's  net income before extraordinary income  for  the
three  months ended March 31, 1997 was $4.5 million or $0.44 per share
as  compared  to $4.2 million or $0.42 per share for the three  months
ended  March  31,  1996.  Total earnings for  the  period   were  $7.5
million  or  $0.74 per share including an extraordinary item  of  $3.0
million  or  $0.30 per share received in a settlement  from  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 months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996:

                                          Three months ended
                                               March 31
                                              1997   1996

Return on average shareholders' equity      20.45%  12.42%
Return on average assets                     1.73%   0.98%

      The Company's net income for the first quarter of 1997 increased
$3.3  million or 80% as compared to the same period in 1996.  Earnings
per  share increased $0.32 per share or 76% for the three months ended
March  31,  1997,  as  compared to the first  quarter  of  1996.   The
increase  in  net income was caused by increases in the  net  interest
margin from 4.30% for the first quarter of 1996 to 4.87% for the first
quarter  of  1997;  by  increases in average earning  assets  and  the
extraordinary  item described above.  The increase in average  earning
assets  were  caused  by internally generated  growth  for  the  first
quarter  as  compared  to 1996.  Additionally,  while  total  earnings
assets increased 2% over the period, the increase in average loans for
the period was 3.5%.

      Provision  for loan losses increased by $0.2 million  from  $1.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $1.7 million  for
the  quarter ended March 31, 1997 as net charge-offs increased for the
three  month  period  as compared to the same  period  in  1996.   The
increase  in  net  charge-offs  were due  to  increases  in  the  loan
portfolio  from  internally generated growth.  Net noninterest  income
increased  $0.2  million  for the quarter as  compared  to  the  first
quarter of 1996.  Net noninterest expense for the quarter increased by
$1.4 million as compared to the same period in 1996.

Net Interest Income

      Net  interest  income increased $2.0 million or 11%  from  $17.8
million  for the first quarter of 1996 to $19.7 million for the  first
quarter  of 1997.  Interest income and interest expense both increased
for  the quarter ending March 31, 1997 as compared to the same  period
in  1996,  with interest income increasing $2.5 million  and  interest
expense increasing $0.5 million.

      The  increase in net interest income for the three month  period
was  driven  by  increases  in net interest margin  and  increases  in
average  earning  assets due to internally generated growth.   Average
earning  assets increased 1% from $1.66 billion for the  three  months
ended March 31, 1996 to $1.68 billion for the same period in 1997.

      The  yield on interest earning assets increased 21 basis  points
for  the first quarter of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.
<PAGE>

The  cost of interest bearing funds decreased 38 basis points for  the
first  quarter of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.   As  a
result  the  net interest margin increased from 4.30%  for  the  first
quarter of 1996 to 4.87% for the current quarter.

      The increases in yield and interest margin are due in large part
from  growth  in  the Company's loan portfolio, the  highest  yielding
asset.   Loan  portfolio  growth was caused  by  internally  generated
growth.  The Company's average loans increased 3.5% from $1.29 billion
for  the  first quarter of 1996 to $1.34 billion for the first quarter
of  1997.   Loans accounted for 85% of total interest income  for  the
first quarter of 1997 compared to 79% for the first quarter of 1996.

     The following table summarizes the annualized net interest spread
and  net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 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.

Loan charge-offs, net of recoveries to
 average loans, annualized                           .40%          .40%


      The  Company increased its provision for loan losses as a result
of  the  growth in its loan portfolio, 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 was the same during the first three  months
of  1997  as compared to the same period in 1996.  The Company's  non-
performing  loans (90 days past due and non-accrual)  were  1.22%  and
1.29%  of  outstanding loans at December 31, 1996 and March 31,  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
<PAGE>

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 6% from $3.2 million
for  the  three  months ended March 31, 1996 to $3.4 million  for  the
first quarter of 1997.  All categories of noninterest income increased
during the three month period for 1997, as compared to the same period
in  1996, except for Other noninterest income which declined from $1.3
million to $1.1 million for the first quarter.


Noninterest Expense

      The  Company's noninterest expense increased by 10%  from  $13.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $14.9 million for
the  same  period  in  1997.  All categories  of  noninterest  expense
experienced increases for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to
the  first quarter in 1996 with the exception of Stationery,  printing
and  office  supplies  which  showed  a  12%  decrease.   The  largest
categories  showing  increases  were  Other  noninterest  expense  and
Salaries  and  employee benefits which increased by $0.8  million  and
$0.5 million, respectively.  The increase is attributed to the cost of
expansion  as the Company prepares to open 5 additional branches  over
the   next   12  months  and  the  temporary  costs  associated   with
consolidating the processing functions of the 7 commercial banks  that
merged into the lead bank on January 1, 1997.

Balance Sheet Review

      Total assets were at $1.82 billion at both December 31, 1996 and
March  31, 1997. During this time, loans increased from $1.29  billion
to  $1.34  billion or an annualized rate of 14%.  The  asset  category
which  declined most was Securities available-for-sale which  declined
from  $230.0 million at December 31, 1996 to $191.0 million  at  March
31,  1997  as the Company chose not to reinvest proceeds from  matured
securities back into the securities portfolio but rather to retain the
cash to fund anticipated future loan growth.

      The  Company's largest liability, deposits, increased from $1.48
billion as of December 31, 1996 to $1.49 billion as of March 31, 1997.
Noninterest bearing deposits increased from $200.2 million at December
31,  1996  to  $195.8  million at March 31,  1997.   Interest  bearing
deposits increased from $1.28 billion to $1.29 billion during the same
period.  The Company's long-term debt stayed at approximately the same
level during the period at $19.1 million.  The Company's advances from
Federal  Home Loan Bank increased only marginally from $111.0  million
at  December  31,  1996 to $111.8 million at March  31,  1997  as  the
Company relied primarily on deposit growth and maturing securities  as
the source of funding for the additional loan demand.


Loans

      Loans  increased from $1.31 billion as of December 31,  1996  to
$1.35  billion  as  of  March  31, 1997.  The  loan  categories  which
increased most were commercial, other and consumer loans.  Commercial,
other  increased from $234.8 million as of December 31, 1996 to $250.0
million  as  of  March 31, 1997. Consumer loans increased from  $310.6
million  as  of December 31, 1996 to $331.1 million as of   March  31,
1997.   Consumer  loans  increased due  to  the  Company's  aggressive
expansion  into the indirect consumer loan market in Kentucky.   Other
than  lease  financing,  which declined  from  $3.8  million  to  $3.4
<PAGE>

million,  all other loan categories increased during the  period  from
December 31, 1996 to March 31, 1997.

     Non-accrual and 90 days past due loans amounted to 1.21% of total
loans  outstanding as of December 31, 1996 and 1.29%  of  total  loans
outstanding as of  March 31, 1997.  Non-accrual loans as a  percentage
of  total loans outstanding were at 0.75% as of December 31, 1996  and
March  31,  1997.  During the same period, loans 90 days or more  past
due increased 9 basis points from 0.44% of total loans outstanding  to
0.53%.   The allowance for loan losses decreased from 1.44%  of  total
loans  outstanding as of December 31, 1996 to 1.42% as  of  March  31,
1997.   The  allowance for loan losses as a percentage of  non-accrual
loans and loans 90 days or past due was 103% at December 31, 1996  and
110% at March 31, 1997.

      The following table summarizes the Company's loans that are non-
accrual  or past due 90 days or more as of March 31, 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 affiliate bank  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.
<PAGE>

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  $191.0  million as of March 31, 1997.   Securities  held-to-
maturity  declined  from $137.7 million to $135.3 million  during  the
same  period.   Total securities as a percentage of total  assets  was
20.3% as of December 31, 1996 and 17.7% as of March 31, 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  increased  from $1.48 billion to  $1.50  billion  from
December  31,  1996 to March 31, 1997.  Noninterest  bearing  deposits
increased  by $13 million while noninterest bearing deposits increased
by $10 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  $87
million, if necessary, to meet the Company's liquidity needs.

      The  Company  owns $191 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
marginally  from  $111.0 million as of December  31,  1996  to  $111.8
million as of March 31, 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
<PAGE>

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 now uses 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 has  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 has sold 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 March 31, 1997.  The impact  on
operations of interest rate swaps and options was not material  during
the first three 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 declared dividends of $0.18 per share  for  the
first  quarter  of  1997  and $0.16 for the  first  quarter  of  1996.
Earnings  per  share  for  the  same periods  were  $0.74  and  $0.42,
respectively.   The  Company retained 76% of earnings  for  the  first
three months of 1997.

      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  March 31, 1997.  The Company's Tier 1 leverage, Tier  1  risk-
based  and  total  risk-based ratios were  7.55%,  9.88%  and  11.13%,
respectively as of March 31, 1997.

      As  of  March 31, 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
<PAGE>

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.
