                                  PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

    Community  Trust Bancorp, Inc. (the "Corporation") is a  bank  holding
company  registered  with the Board of Governors of  the  Federal  Reserve
System pursuant to section 5 (a) of the Bank Holding Company Act of  1956,
as  amended. The Corporation was incorporated August 12, 1980,  under  the
laws  of the Commonwealth of Kentucky for the purpose of becoming  a  bank
holding  company.  On July 1, 1981, pursuant to a Merger  Agreement  dated
May  30,  1981,  the merger of Pikeville National Bank and  Trust  Company
("PNB")  as  a subsidiary of the Corporation was consummated, whereby  PNB
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation through an exchange of
one  share  of common stock of PNB for two shares of common stock  of  the
Corporation.   Prior  to  the  date  the  merger  became  effective,   the
Corporation  conducted no active business operations.  Since  the  merger,
the  business of the Corporation has been to act as a holding company  for
affiliate financial institutions.  The Corporation currently owns all  the
capital  stock  of one commercial bank, one thrift and one trust  company,
serving  small  and  mid-sized communities in eastern, central  and  south
central  Kentucky.   The  commercial bank is  Community  Trust  Bank,  NA,
Pikeville.   The  Corporation's  thrift  is  Community  Trust  Bank,  FSB,
Campbellsville.   The  trust  company,  Trust  Company  of  Kentucky,  NA,
Lexington, purchased the trust operations of its subsidiary banks and  has
additional  offices  in  Pikeville, Ashland, Middlesboro  and  Louisville,
Kentucky.   The trust subsidiary commenced business operations on  January
1,  1994.   At  December 31, 1997, the Corporation had total  consolidated
assets  of  $1.9 billion and total consolidated deposits of $1.5  billion,
making  it one of the larger bank holding companies headquartered  in  the
Commonwealth of Kentucky.

    Effective  January  1,  1997, the Corporation 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 Corporation's  thrift
and  trust  subsidiaries, Community Trust Bank, FSB and Trust  Company  of
Kentucky, NA, remain subsidiaries of the Corporation and will continue  to
operate as independent entities.

    The  Corporation  sold its subsidiary Commercial Bank,  West  Liberty,
Kentucky  ("West  Liberty") on July 1, 1997 for $10.2 million  creating  a
gain  on  sale  of  $3 million.  West Liberty had $76 million  in  assets,
constituting   4%   of   the  Corporation's  total  consolidated   assets.
Consistent  with the Corporation's strategic plan, the funds generated  by
the sale of West Liberty provided the Corporation with the opportunity  to
expand  existing  markets  and  enter into new  markets  through  internal
expansion and acquisitions.

    Through  its subsidiaries, the Corporation engages in a wide range  of
commercial  and personal banking activities, which include accepting  time
and  demand  deposits; making secured and unsecured loans to corporations,
individuals  and others; providing cash management services  to  corporate
and  individual customers; issuing letters of credit; renting safe deposit
boxes  and  providing funds transfer services.  The lending activities  of
the  Corporation's  subsidiaries include making commercial,  construction,
mortgage and personal loans.  Also available are lease financing, lines of
credit,  revolving  credits,  term  loans  and  other  specialized   loans
including  asset-based financing.  Various corporate subsidiaries  act  as
trustees  of  personal trusts, as executors of estates,  as  trustees  for
employee benefit trusts, as registrars, transfer agents and paying  agents
for bond and stock issues and as depositories for securities.

                                COMPETITION

     The  Corporation's  subsidiaries  face  substantial  competition  for
deposit,  credit  and  trust relationships, as well as  other  sources  of
funding in the communities they serve.  Competing providers include  other
national   and  state  banks,  thrifts  and  trust  companies,   insurance
companies,  mortgage banking operations, credit unions, finance companies,
money  market funds and other financial and non-financial companies  which
may  offer  products  functionally equivalent  to  those  offered  by  the
Corporation's subsidiaries.  Many of these providers offer services within
and  outside  the  market areas served by the Corporation's  subsidiaries.
The  Corporation's  subsidiaries  strive  to  offer  competitively  priced
products   along   with  quality  customer  service   to   build   banking
relationships in the communities they serve.

    Since  July 1989, banking legislation in Kentucky places no limits  on
the number of banks or bank holding companies which a bank holding company
may acquire.  Interstate acquisitions are allowed where reciprocity exists
between  the  laws  of Kentucky and the home state of the  acquiring  bank
holding company.  Bank holding companies continue to be limited to control
of  less  than  15% of deposits held by banks in the state  (exclusive  of
inter-bank and foreign deposits).

    No  material  portion of the business of the Corporation is  seasonal.
The business of the Corporation is not dependent upon any one customer  or
a few customers, and the loss of any one or a few customers would not have
a materially adverse effect on the Corporation.

   No operations in foreign countries are engaged in by the Corporation.

                                 EMPLOYEES
                                     
    As  of December 31, 1997, the Corporation and its subsidiaries had 795
full-time equivalent employees.  Employees are provided with a variety  of
employee  benefits.   A  retirement plan, employee stock  ownership  plan,
group  life,  hospitalization,  major  medical  insurance  and  an  annual
management   incentive  compensation  plan  are  available   to   eligible
personnel.

                        SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

   The Corporation, as a registered bank holding company, is restricted to
those  activities permissible under the Bank Holding Company Act of  1956,
as  amended,  and is subject to actions of the Board of Governors  of  the
Federal  Reserve  System thereunder.  It is required  to  file  an  annual
report  with  the  Federal  Reserve Board and  is  subject  to  an  annual
examination by the Board.

    The Bank is a national bank subsidiary subject to federal banking  law
and  to  regulation  and periodic examinations by the Comptroller  of  the
Currency  under  the National Bank Act and to the restrictions,  including
dividend  restrictions, thereunder.  The Bank is  also  a  member  of  the
Federal  Reserve System and is subject to certain restrictions imposed  by
and  to  examination and supervision under, the Federal Reserve Act.   The
Corporation's thrift subsidiary, Community Trust Bank, FSB,  is  regulated
and  examined  by  the Office of Thrift Supervision.   The  trust  company
subsidiary,  Trust Company of Kentucky, NA, is regulated  by  the  Federal
Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

    Deposits  of  the Corporation's subsidiary banks are  insured  by  the
Federal  Deposit Insurance Corporation Bank Insurance Fund, which subjects
the  banks  to  regulation and examination under  the  provisions  of  the
Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Act.  Insofar  as  the  Corporation's  thrift
subsidiary  is concerned, its deposits are insured by the Federal  Deposit
Insurance Corporation Savings Association Insurance Fund.

    The  operations  of  the  Corporation and its  subsidiaries  also  are
affected  by  other  banking  legislation and policies  and  practices  of
various  regulatory  authorities.  Such legislation and  policies  include
statutory  maximum  rates  on some loans, reserve  requirements,  domestic
monetary and fiscal policy and limitations on the kinds of services  which
may be offered.

    The  calculations  of  the weighted average interest  rates  for  each
maturity  category are based on yield weighted by the respective costs  of
the  securities.   The  weighted  average rates  on  state  and  political
subdivisions are computed on a taxable equivalent basis using  a  35%  tax
rate.   For  purposes of the above presentation, maturities  of  mortgage-
backed  pass  through certificates and collateralized mortgage obligations
are based on estimated maturities.

    Excluding those holdings of the investment portfolio in U.S.  Treasury
securities  and  other  agencies of the U.S.  Government,  there  were  no
securities  of  any  one issuer which exceeded 10%  of  the  shareholder's
equity of the Corporation at December 31, 1997.

    The allowance for loan losses balance is maintained by management at a 
level  considered adequate to cover anticipated losses that are  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.

    In  1997,  gross  interest income that would  have  been  recorded  on 
nonaccrual  loans  had  the loans been current in  accordance  with  their 
original  terms  amounted  to  $1.3  million.   Interest  income  actually 
recorded  and  included  in net income for the period  was  $0.3  million, 
leaving $1.0 million of interest income not recognized during the period.

Discussion of the Nonaccrual Policy

    The  accrual  of  interest income on loans is  discontinued  when  the 
collection  of  interest  and principal in full  is  not  expected.   When 
interest accruals are discontinued, interest income accrued in the current 
period  is  reversed.  Any loans past due 90 days or  more  must  be  well 
secured and in the process of collection to continue accruing interest.

Potential Problem Loans

    When  management has serious doubts as to the ability of borrowers  to 
comply  with  repayment terms, the loans are placed on nonaccrual  status. 
Management, therefore, believes that no additional potential problem loans 
exist which would result in disclosure pursuant to Item III.C.2.

Foreign Outstandings

   None

Loan Concentrations

    The  Corporation has no concentration of loans exceeding 10% of  total 
loans which is not otherwise disclosed at December 31, 1997.

Other Interest-Bearing Assets

    The  Corporation has no other interest-bearing assets  that  would  be 
required  to  be  disclosed under Item III.C.1 or 2, if such  assets  were 
loans,  other than $0.3 million held as other real estate owned,  included 
above in foreclosed properties.

    Management uses an internal analysis to determine the adequacy of  the
loan  loss  reserve  and charges to the provision for loan  losses.   This
analysis  is  based on net charge-off experience for prior years,  current
delinquency  levels  and  risk factors based  on  the  local  economy  and
relative  experience  of the lending staff.  This  analysis  is  completed
quarterly and forms the basis for allocation of the loan loss reserve  and
what charges to provision may be required.

ITEM  7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION  AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW
      The  Corporation reported net earnings of $19.1 million for the year
ending  December 31, 1997, compared to $18.8 million for  1996  and  $10.8
million  for 1995.  Earnings for 1997 included an extraordinary gain  (net
of  tax)  of  $3.1  million  received from the settlement  with  a  former
software vendor.  Earnings per share for 1997 were $1.90 compared to $1.87
per share for 1996 and $1.10 for 1995.

      Earnings for 1997 increased in the categories of net interest income
and  noninterest income, reflecting the Corporation's growth.  Noninterest
expense likewise increased from the previous year, fueled by expansion  of
new  branches,  advertising of the Corporation's new name, and  a  heavier
investment  in training for the Corporation's employees.  The  noninterest
expense  category which reflected the largest increase from  the  previous
year was the provision for loan loss, increasing from $7.3 million in 1996
to  $11.2  million  in 1997.  Most of this increase  was  related  to  the
Corporation's  funding  of  indirect consumer loans,  which  traditionally
experience  higher  yields and higher charge-offs than  other  loan.   The
Corporation's return on average assets for 1997 was 1.05% as  compared  to
1.07%  and 0.66% in 1996 and 1995, respectively, and the return on average
equity  for 1997 was 12.31% as compared to 13.53% and 8.27% for  1996  and
1995, respectively.

      Total assets as of December 31, 1997 were $1.85 billion, an increase
of  0.7%  as compared to total assets of $1.84 billion as of December  31,
1996.  The Corporation's total assets were impacted by the sale in July of
Commercial  Bank,  West  Liberty,  a wholly-owned  subsidiary,  which  had
approximately $76 million in assets.  Total loans as of December 31,  1997
were  $1.43 billion compared to $1.31 billion as of December 31, 1996,  an
increase of 9.2%.  Total deposits decreased marginally from $1.48  billion
at December 31, 1996 to $1.47 billion at December 31, 1997.

      In January 1997 shareholders were notified that they would receive a
10%  stock  dividend  for shares held as of March 15,  1997.   This  stock
dividend, was paid in addition to the quarterly cash dividend, in April.

      In  June  1997  the  Corporation successfully  completed  its  first
securitization of approximately $80 million of indirect auto  loans.   The
Corporation  retained the servicing rights on the sold loans, while  using
the proceeds of the sale to fund loan growth.


ACQUISITIONS
      While  no  acquisitions were completed during the year, in  December
1997  the  Corporation announced its intention to enter the West  Virginia
market  by  acquiring seventeen branches from Bank One, West Virginia,  NA
and   Bank  One,  Wheeling-Stubenville,  NA,  subsidiaries  of  Banc   One
Corporation  ("Banc  One").  Under the terms of the definitive  agreement,
the  Corporation  will  purchase seventeen branches  that  currently  have
deposits  totaling  approximately $565 million.  The purchase  price  will
include  a  9.7% premium on the deposits plus book value for other  assets
acquired,  subject to adjustments as provided in the definitive agreement.
Concurrent with this agreement, the Corporation entered into an  agreement
with Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc. of Georgetown, Kentucky to sell three
of  the  seventeen  branches being acquired  from  Banc  One.   The  three
branches being sold to Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc. have total deposits
of approximately $153 million.

      During January 1998, the Corporation subsequently announced that  it
had  entered into a definitive agreement to sell seven additional branches
of  the  seventeen  it will acquire from Banc One.  Five  of  these  seven
branches, having combined deposits of approximately $125 million, will  be
purchased  by Peoples Banking and Trust Company, a subsidiary  of  Peoples
Bancorp,  Inc.  of  Marietta,  Ohio.  Two of the  seven  branches,  having
combined  deposits  of  approximately $67 million, will  be  purchased  by
United  National  Bank,  a  subsidiary  of  United  Bankshares,  Inc.   of
Parkersburg, West Virginia.

      All  of  the above transactions are subject to regulatory  approval.
Upon  completion of these transactions, the Corporation will be  retaining
seven  of  the  original seventeen branches, totaling  approximately  $220
million  in deposits.  This acquisition will assist in the growth  of  the
Corporation  outside  of  Kentucky and provide a  new  customer  base  for
generating additional revenues.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
1997 Compared to 1996

      Net income for 1997 was $19.1 million compared to $18.8 million  for
1996.  Basic earnings per share for 1997 were $1.90 compared to $1.87  per
share  for  1996.  Earnings for 1997 include a $3.1 million, or $0.31  per
share,  extraordinary gain (net of tax), a result of a settlement  with  a
former  software  vendor.   Prior period  earnings  per  share  have  been
restated for the 10% stock dividend paid in April 1997 and have also  been
restated  for  the  accounting  under Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No.  128,  EARNINGS PER SHARE.  See  footnote  21  for  further
explanation.

      Net  interest  income for 1997 increased 1.5% as compared  to  1996,
rising  from  $75.4 million in 1996 to $76.5 million in 1997.  Noninterest
income increased 27.7% from $14.4 million in 1996 to $18.4 million in 1997
while  noninterest expense increased 8.4% from $55.2 million  in  1996  to
$59.9  million  in 1997.  (See separate discussions of noninterest  income
and noninterest expense below.)

      Return  on average assets decreased from 1.07% in 1996 to  1.05%  in
1997,  including  the  extraordinary item, and return  on  average  equity
decreased from 13.53% in 1996 to 12.31% in 1997.

Net Interest Income

      During  the  third quarter of 1997 the Corporation  began  recording
certain  loan  fees  as  noninterest  revenue  which,  until  then,   were
classified as interest income.  As a result, net interest income for  1997
ended  marginally  higher  at $76.5 million,  up  1.5%  from  1996.    The
Corporation's net interest margin declined from 4.76% at the end  of  1996
to  4.66%  at  the  end  of  1997, also a  reflection  of  the  change  in
classification of certain loan-related fee income.

    The  Corporation's average earning assets increased from $1.63 billion
in  1996  to  $1.68 billion in 1997.  Average interest bearing liabilities
also  increased  during the period, from $1.42 billion in  1996  to  $1.46
billion in 1997.  Average interest  bearing liabilities as a percentage of
average  earning assets remained fairly stable, moving from 87.1% in  1996
to 86.47% in 1997.

      The  taxable  equivalent  yield on average interest  earning  assets
increased  from  8.99%  in 1996 to 9.06% in 1997.   The  cost  of  average
interest bearing liabilities likewise increased from 4.86% to 5.09% during
the  same period.  The yield on interest bearing assets has been favorably
impacted  due  to  the  Corporation's increase in  consumer  loans,  which
traditionally experience higher yields than other loans.

      Loans  accounted for 77.1% of total assets as of December  31,  1997
compared  to 71.2% as of December 31, 1996.  Approximately $80 million  of
indirect   automobile  loans  were  sold  in  1997,  which  affected   the
Corporation's  ending  loan balance for 1997.  The servicing  rights  were
retained  on these sold loans, and the resulting cash generated from  this
loan sale was used for funding of new loans.

      The  Corporation  invested  in several  new  branches  during  1997,
generating  new  loan and deposit growth.  The interest  costs  associated
with  opening new branches is generally higher than normal,  in  order  to
gain  market  share.   This  factor, along  with  the  traditional  market
pressures  from competitors, increased the Corporation's cost of  interest
bearing liabilities from $71 million in 1996 to $74 million in 1997.

Provision for loan losses

      The provision for loan losses increased from $7.3 million in 1996 to
$11.2 million in 1997.  The majority of this increase was directly related
to   the  Corporation's  investment  in  indirect  consumer  loans,  which
generally  experience  higher  yields and higher  charge-offs  than  other
loans.   In addition, the provision will increase during the normal course
of  business as the respective loan portfolio balance increases, in  order
to maintain the proper percentage of loan loss allowance to total loans.

      Charge-offs,  net of recoveries, as a percentage  of  average  loans
outstanding increased from 0.37% in 1996 to 0.66% in 1997 as  gross charge-
offs  and recoveries both increased for 1997 in line with the increase  in
average  loans  outstanding as compared to 1996.  The allowance  for  loan
losses increased significantly, rising from $18.8 million at December  31,
1996  to  $20.5 million at December 31, 1997.    The Corporation 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

      Noninterest  income increased 27.7% from $14.4 million  in  1996  to
$18.4  million  in  1997.   Service charges  on  deposit-related  products
generated $6.9 million for the year, an increase of $400 thousand over the
previous year.  Trust income increased from $1.6 million in 1996  to  $1.8
million in 1997 as the trust assets under management increased during  the
year.   Gains  on sale of residential mortgage loans decreased  from  $1.7
million  in  1996 to $1.1 million in 1997, due to a lower volume  of  loan
sales.   Other noninterest income increased from $3.2 million in  1996  to
$6.9  million in 1997, largely due to the reclassification of loan-related
fees from interest income, and also due to an operating gain of $3 million
on  the  sale  of  the  Corporation's subsidiary,  Commercial  Bank,  West
Liberty,  which was completed in July 1997.  Securities gains  and  losses
were  not  a significant factor in either 1997 or 1996, as the Corporation
incurred net securities gains of $47,000 in 1997 and $88,000 in 1996.

Noninterest expense

      Noninterest  expense increased from $55.2 million in 1996  to  $59.9
million in 1997.  Salaries and employee benefits increased marginally from
$28.2  million  in  1996  to  $28.5 million in  1997.   Occupancy  expense
likewise  increased from $4.0 million in 1996 to $4.2 million in 1997  and
equipment  costs grew from $3.7 million in 1996 to $4.0 million  in  1997.
Data  processing costs increased from $2.6 million in 1996 to $3.1 million
in  1997 and stationery, printing and office supplies marginally increased
from  $1.7  million  in  1996  to $1.8 million  in  1997.   Marketing  and
advertising  increased from $2.1 million in 1996 to $2.9 million  in  1997
while  legal and professional fees increased from $2.6 million in 1996  to
$3.2 million in 1997.  Repossession expense increased from $0.1 million in
1996  to  $0.7 million in 1997.  Meetings and training increased  to  $0.7
million  in  1997 from $0.3 million in 1996.  Telephone expense  increased
from $1.2 million in 1996 to $1.4 million in 1997.

1996 Compared to 1995

      Net income for 1996 was $18.8 million compared to $10.8 million  for
1995.   Basic earnings per share for 1996 was $1.87 per share compared  to
$1.10 for 1995.

      Net interest income grew from $66.0 million in 1995 to $75.4 million
in 1996.  The increase in net interest income was due to a higher level of
average  earning assets and rising interest rates during 1996.  The  yield
on  interest  earning  assets increased and the cost of  interest  bearing
liabilities  decreased  during  1996 as compared  to  1995.   The  taxable
equivalent  yield on average interest earning assets increased from  8.86%
in  1995  to  8.99%  in  1996.   The  cost  of  average  interest  bearing
liabilities  decreased from 4.93% to 4.86% during the same period.   As  a
result  of  this the net interest margin increased from 4.54% in  1995  to
4.76% in 1996.

      Noninterest income increased 29.73% from $11.1 million  in  1995  to
$14.4  million in 1996.  Service charges on deposit accounts, the  largest
component,  increased from $5.2 million in 1995 to $6.3 million  in  1996.
During  the  same  period, other noninterest income  increased  from  $4.1
million  to  $4.7 million and trust income increased from $1.3 million  to
$1.6  million.   Net  gains  from the sale of residential  mortgage  loans
increased  from $462 thousand in 1995 to $1.7 million in 1996,  due  to  a
larger volume of loans sold.  Securities gains and losses were minimal  in
both  periods,  as the Corporation incurred net securities  gains  of  $12
thousand in 1995 and $88 thousand in 1996.

      Noninterest  expense decreased from $55.9 million in 1995  to  $55.2
million  in  1996.   A  cost containment program implemented  during  1996
successfully  reduced  many noninterest expenses.  Salaries  and  benefits
increased  from $24.6 million in 1995 to $28.2 million in 1996;  occupancy
expense  increased  from  $3.9 million to $4.0  million;  data  processing
decreased  from $2.8 million to $2.6 million; stationery & printing  costs
decreased from $1.9 million to $1.7 million and other taxes increased from
$2.0 million to $2.1 million.

DISCLOSURES REGARDING YEAR 2000

      Many companies have undertaken major projects to address "Year 2000"
readiness,  which relates to the recognition of dates beyond  1999.   Many
software  programs  and hardware systems are in a two digit  format  which
will  not process into the next century. The Corporation has already taken
steps  necessary  to  ensure  that  the Corporation  will  be  "Year  2000
compliant".  Those steps include the following:

                                       21
<PAGE>

- -   Assessment of the significant issues throughout the organization and
    customer  base,  in  order  to  be prepared for proper processing of
    information.
- -   Implementation of a Steering Committee and Project Team  to  oversee
    the successful attainment of Year 2000 compliance.
- -   Completion  of an inventory of all hardware, software, systems,  and
    facilities to identify products which must be  replaced, retired, or
    renovated.
- -   Contacting  all respective third party providers of computer-related
    services  and  have  requested  that  they  provide  evidence to the
    Corporation  by  June  1998  of  their  intention  to  be  Year 2000
    compliant.
- -   Creation  of a test environment to validate software, hardware,  and
    systems as new releases become available.
- -   The  Corporation's Board of Directors and Executive Management  have
    committed  to  providing  the  appropriate  resources  and workforce
    necessary to ensure compliance with Year 2000.

      Management  anticipates  that  all  internal  hardware  upgrades  or
replacements  will be completed by March 1999.  The costs associated  with
hardware and software upgrades will be approximately $450,000 in 1998  and
$1,400,000 in 1999.  Management believes that these estimates are generous
and  that these costs are not material to the financial condition  of  the
Corporation.

      The  Corporation's most significant exposure will  be  relying  upon
third  party  vendors  and processors and managing the  relationship  with
their  product or service as the Corporation tests their Year  2000  Ready
products  and  services.   The  Corporation's  primary  third  party  data
processor, one of the country's leading suppliers of financial institution
data processing services, has already provided assurances that it will  be
Year 2000 compliant prior to mid-year 1999.

      As  testing  occurs throughout 1998, any vendors who cannot  certify
their  intentions  to  be Year 2000 compliant will be  abandoned  and  new
vendors  will  be contacted.  The Corporation anticipates completing  Year
2000 issues by the middle of 1999.


LIQUIDITY

      The  Corporation's objectives are to ensure that funds are available
at  the  subsidiary banks to meet deposit withdrawals and  credit  demands
without  unduly  penalizing profitability, and to ensure that  funding  is
available for the parent Corporation to meet the ongoing cash needs  while
maximizing profitability.  The Corporation continues to identify  ways  to
provide  for liquidity on both a current and long-term basis.  On a  long-
term  basis, the market regions rely mainly on core deposits, certificates
of  deposit  of $100,000 or more, repayment of principal and  interest  on
loans  and  securities, as well as federal funds sold and purchased.   The
market  regions  also  rely  on  the sale of securities  under  repurchase
agreements,  securities  available-for-sale and  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank
borrowings.

     Deposits decreased marginally from $1.48 billion at December 31, 1996
to  $1.47 billion at December 31, 1997.  The sale of Commercial Bank, West
Liberty  in July, 1997 reduced the Corporation's deposits by approximately
$70  million.   By  adjusting  for this sale, the  Corporation's  deposits
increased  by slightly over 4% from the previous year.  Since loan  demand
outpaced  deposit  growth,  the Corporation increased  its  borrowings  of
federal  funds,  Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, and  other  short-term
borrowings.   The Corporation's largest subsidiary, Community Trust  Bank,
NA,  also  completed  the  securitization and sale  of  approximately  $80
million  of  its auto loans during the second quarter of 1997  to  provide
additional funding.

      During  April  1997 the Corporation raised $34.5  million  of   cash
through the issuance of 9.0% Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities.  These
cash proceeds were applied to the Corporation's liquidity position to fund
new  loans,  new branches, and for future acquisitions.  These  securities
will mature in March, 2027.

      Due  to  the  nature of the markets served by the  banking  regions,
management  believes that the majority of its certificates of  deposit  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, the Corporation  is  able  to
borrow  funds  with several correspondent banks, to meet the Corporation's
liquidity needs.

      The  Corporation  owns  $166  million of  securities  designated  as
available-for-sale  and  valued at market  which  are  available  to  meet
liquidity  needs  on a continuing basis. The Corporation  also  relies  on
Federal Home Loan Bank advances for both liquidity and management  of  its
asset/liability position.  Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased  from
$111.0  million  at December 31, 1996 to $101.8 million  at  December  31,
1997.



                                       22
<PAGE>

      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  the
issuance  of  long-term debt.  The Corporation has a $17.5 million  credit
line available beyond 1998, in the form of a revolving line of credit (see
Note  9-  Long-term Debt).  The Corporation's primary investing activities
include purchases of investment 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 Corporation monitors its interest rate risk by the use
of 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 Corporation uses the Sendero  system
to  monitor  its interest rate risk.  The Corporation desires an  interest
sensitivity  gap of not more than fifteen percent of total assets  at  the
one year interval.

   The Corporation's static interest rate gap position as of December 31,
1997 is presented below:

CAPITAL RESOURCES
      Total shareholders' equity increased from $144.8 million at December
31,  1996  to  $158.0  million at December 31,  1997.   The  Corporation's
primary source of capital is retained earnings.  Cash dividends were $0.74
per share for 1997 and $0.66 per share for 1996.

      Regulatory  guidelines  require bank holding  companies,  commercial
banks,  and  savings banks to maintain certain minimum ratios  and  define
companies  as  "well  capitalized" that sufficiently  exceed  the  minimum
ratios.  The banking regulators may alter minimum capital requirements  as
a  result  of  revising  their  internal policies  and  their  ratings  of
individual institutions.  To be "well capitalized" banks and bank  holding
companies must maintiain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of no less than  5.0%,  a
Tier  1 risk based ratio of no less than 6.0% and a total risk based ratio
of  no less than 


                                       23
<PAGE>

10.0%.  The Corporation's ratios as of December 31,  1997 were 7.75%, 9.97%
and 11.23%, respectively. The Corporation and all of its banking affiliates
met the criteria for "well capitalized" at December 31, 1997.

      As  of  December 31, 1997, management is not aware  of  any  current
recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they  were  to
be  implemented, would have, or are 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 investments  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 Corporation's ability to react  to  changes  in
interest  rates.   Management seeks to maintain  an  essentially  balanced
position  between interest sensitive assets and liabilities  in  order  to
protect  against  the  effects  of wide interest  rate  fluctuations.   At
December  31, 1997, the results of the Corporation's interest  sensitivity
analysis  indicated that net interest income would be relatively unchanged
by  a  100  basis  point increase or decrease in the  federal  funds  rate
(assuming  the  change  occurs  evenly  over  the  next  year   and   that
corresponding  changes in other market rates occur  as  forecasted).   Net
interest income would be expected to increase 3.0% if rates increased  200
basis points and would be expected to decrease 3.6% if rates declined  200
basis points.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The consolidated financial statements include
Community   Trust   Bancorp,  Inc.  (the  "Corporation")   and   all   its
subsidiaries,  including its principal subsidiary, Community  Trust  Bank,
NA.   Material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated
in consolidation.  In preparing financial statements, management must make
certain estimates and assumptions.  These estimates and assumptions affect
the  amounts  reported for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses,  as
well  as affecting the disclosures provided.  Future results could  differ
from the current estimates.

      NATURE  OF  OPERATIONS  -  Substantially  all  assets,  liabilities,
revenues,  and  expenses  are  related to  banking  operations,  including
lending, investing of funds and obtaining of deposits and other financing.
All of the Corporation's business offices and the majority of its business
are located in eastern and central Kentucky.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on
hand, amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other financial
institutions  and federal funds sold.  Generally, federal funds  are  sold
for  one  day  periods.   Cash flows are reported net  for  customer  loan
transactions, deposit transactions, and other short-term borrowings.

      SECURITIES - Management determines the classification of  securities
at  purchase.   The  Corporation now 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 realized loss.

     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.

      LOANS - Loans are reported at the carrying value of unpaid principal
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
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.

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

      The  provision for loan losses charged to operating expenses  is  an
amount sufficient to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate
level to absorb future loan losses based on management's best estimate  of
loan losses, using such considerations as the current condition and volume
of  the  loan  portfolio, economic conditions within  the   service  area,
review  of specific problem loans, and any other known factors influencing
loan  collectibility.  For loss provisions and valuation  allowances,  the
amount provided is management's estimate of probable losses.

      Impaired loans are measured at the present value of estimated future
cash  flows  of  the  loan using the loan rate or at  the  fair  value  of
collateral.

       PREMISES   AND  EQUIPMENT  -  Premises,  equipment  and   leasehold
improvements  are  stated  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation   and
amortization.   Depreciation is computed primarily  on  the  straight-line
method  over  the estimated useful lives or the shorter of  the  estimated
useful  lives  or terms of the related leases.  Maintenance,  repairs  and
minor improvements are expensed as incurred.

     OTHER REAL ESTATE - Real estate acquired by foreclosure is carried at
the  lower  of  the  investment in the property or  its  fair  value.   An
allowance  for estimated losses on real estate is provided by a charge  to
operating  expense  when a subsequent decline in value occurs.   Operating
expenses  of such properties, net of related income, and gains and  losses
on disposition are included in other expenses.

     PURCHASE ACCOUNTING - At date of purchase, net assets of subsidiaries
acquired  are recorded at fair value.  Any excess of cost over net  assets
acquired (goodwill) is amortized by the straight-line method over  fifteen
to  twenty-five years.  Management reviews the earnings of the  operations
acquired for evidence of impairment of the unamortized amount.


                                       29
<PAGE>

      INCOME TAXES - Income tax expense is based on the taxes due  on  the
consolidated  tax return plus deferred taxes based on the expected  future
tax consequences of temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax
bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates.

     EARNINGS PER SHARE - The Corporation adopted the Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, effective  December
31,  1997.   Statement 128 replaces the previous calculations of "primary"
and  "fully  diluted" earnings per share (EPS) with "basic" and  "diluted"
EPS, respectively.

      Basic  EPS is calculated by dividing net income available to  common
shareholders  by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.
The  most significant change from the former method is that the effect  of
stock options is no longer included in the calculation of basic EPS.

      Diluted  EPS still adjusts of number of weighted-average  shares  of
common  stock outstanding under the treasury stock method, which  includes
the dilutive effect of stock options.  The most significant change is that
the  treasury  stock method is now applied using the average market  price
for  the period rather than the higher of the AVERAGE MARKET PRICE or  the
ending market price.

      The  Corporation has restated all prior period EPS  calculations  to
conform with Statement 128.  (See Note 21 - Earnings Per Share.)

      RECLASSIFICATION - Certain reclassifications have been made  in  the
prior financial statements to conform to current classifications.

2.  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

      While  no  acquisitions were completed during the year, in  December
1997  the  Corporation announced its intention to enter the West  Virginia
market  by  acquiring seventeen branches from Bank One, West Virginia,  NA
and   Bank  One,  Wheeling-Stubenville,  NA,  subsidiaries  of  Banc   One
Corporation  ("Banc  One").  Under the terms of the definitive  agreement,
the  Corporation  will  purchase seventeen branches  that  currently  have
deposits  totaling  approximately $565 million.  The purchase  price  will
include a 9.7% premium on the deposits plus approximately $4.5 million for
fixed  assets,  subject  to  adjustments as  provided  in  the  definitive
agreement.  Concurrently with this agreement, the Corporation entered into
an  agreement with Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc. of Georgetown, Kentucky
to sell three of the seventeen branches being acquired from Banc One.  The
three  branches being sold to Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc.  have  total
deposits of approximately $153 million.

      During January 1998, the Corporation subsequently announced that  it
had  entered into a definitive agreement to sell seven additional branches
of  the  seventeen  it will acquire from Banc One.  Five  of  these  seven
branches, having combined deposits of approximately $125 million, will  be
purchased  by Peoples Banking and Trust Company, a subsidiary  of  Peoples
Bancorp,  Inc.  of  Marietta,  Ohio.  Two of the  seven  branches,  having
combined  deposits  of  approximately $67 million, will  be  purchased  by
United  National  Bank,  a  subsidiary  of  United  Bankshares,  Inc.   of
Parkerburg, West Virginia.

      All  of  the above transactions are subject to regulatory  approval.
Upon  completion of these transactions, the Corporation will be  retaining
seven  of  the  original seventeen branches, totaling  approximately  $220
million  in  deposits.   This acquisition will assist  in  growth  of  the
Corporation  outside  of  Kentucky and provide a  new  customer  base  for
generating additional revenues.

3. CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

    Included  in cash and due from banks are noninterest bearing  deposits
that  are  held  at  the Federal Reserve or maintained in  vault  cash  in
accordance  with regulatory reserve requirements.  The balance requirement
was  $24.1 million at December 31, 1997, and $16.2 million at December 31,
1996.   Cash paid during the years ended 1997, 1996 and 1995 for  interest
was  $73.6  million, $68.2 million and $64.2 million, respectively.   Cash
paid  during  the  same periods for income taxes was $11.6  million,  $8.1
million and $2.9 million, respectively.

    Gross  gains  of $552 thousand and gross losses of $504 thousand  were

gross losses of $89 thousand were realized on sales and calls in 1996.

     During   1995,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board   issued
implementation guidance related to Statement No. 115 to allow for  a  one-
time  transfer  of  securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale
without  calling  into question management's intent and  ability  to  hold
securities  to maturity.  The Corporation transferred securities  with  an
amortized  cost  of $195.3 million from held-to-maturity to available-for-
sale  to  better manage its liquidity position as a result of this.   This
transfer  did  not  have  a  material impact on the  Corporation's  equity
position.

    Securities in the amount of $174 million and $145 million at  December
31,  1997  and 1996, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits,
trust  funds,  securities sold under repurchase agreements,  and  advances
from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

   Included in loan balances are loans held for sale in the amount of $0.9
million  and  $78.4  million at December 31, 1997 and December  31,  1996,
respectively.   The  amount of loans on a non-accruing income  status  was
$12.1   million  and  $10.2  million  at  December  31,  1997  and   1996,
respectively.   Additional interest which would have been recorded  during
1997,  1996  and  1995  if  such  loans had  been  accruing  interest  was
approximately $1.3 million, $0.8 million, and $1.1 million, respectively.

     In  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  the  Corporation's  banking
subsidiaries  have made loans at prevailing interest rates  and  terms  to
directors  and  executive  officers of  the  Corporation  or  its  banking
subsidiaries, including their associates (as defined by the Securities and
Exchange  Commission).   Management  believes  such  loans  were  made  on
substantially  the same terms, including interest rate and collateral,  as
those  prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with  other
persons.   The aggregate amount such loans at January 1, 1997 was  $  29.0
million.   During 1997, 


                                       32

activity with respect to these loans included  new loans  of $6.0 million,
repayments of $0.7 million, and a net increase  of $12.5  million  due  to
changes in the status of executive officers and directors.  As a result of
these activities, the aggregate  balance  of these loans was $21.8 million
at December 31, 1997.

    At  December  31, 1997 and 1996, the recorded investment  in  impaired
loans  was $11 million and $8.4 million, respectively.  Included in  these
amounts at December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively are  $2.4
million and $3.3 million of impaired loans for which specific reserves for
loan  losses are carried in the amounts of $1.6 million and $893 thousand.
The  average  investment in impaired loans for 1997  and  1996  was  $11.1
million  and  $8.8  million, respectively while interest  income  of  $258
thousand  and  $305  thousand was recognized  on  cash  payments  of  $258
thousand and $305 thousand.

</TABLE>

    The  Corporation reports income taxes on the liability  method,  which
places  primary  emphasis  on the valuation of current  and  deferred  tax
assets and liabilities.  The amount of income tax expense recognized for a
period is the amount of income taxes currently payable or refundable, plus
or minus the change in aggregate deferred tax assets and liabilities.  The
method  focuses first on the balance sheet, and the amount of  income  tax
expense is determined by changes in the components of the balance sheet.

12. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

    The  Corporation has a KSOP plan covering substantially all employees.
Half  of  the first 8% of wages contributed by an employee is matched  and
goes  into the savings and retirement portion of the plan.  Employees  may
contribute additional non-matched amounts up to maximum limits provided by
IRS regulations, and the Corporation may at its discretion, contribute  an
additional percentage of covered employees' gross wages.

    The  Corporation currently contributes 4% of covered  employees  gross
wages  to  the employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) portion of  the  plan.
The  ESOP  uses  the  contribution to acquire shares of the  Corporation's
common  stock.   The  ESOP owned 579,285 shares of  Corporation  stock  at
December  31,  1997.   Substantially all shares owned  by  the  ESOP  were
allocated  to employees' accounts at December 31, 1997.  The market  price
of  the  shares at the date of allocation is essentially the same  as  the
market price at the date of purchase.

    The  total retirement plan expense, including ESOP expense above,  for
1997,  1996  and  1995 was $1.3 million, $1.2 million, and  $1.1  million,
respectively.

    The Corporation maintains an incentive stock option plan covering  key
employees.   Approximately 495,000 shares have been authorized  under  the
plan,  148,182  of which were available at December 31,  1997  for  future
grants.   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
Opinion  No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB  25)  and
related  interpretations  in  accounting for its  employee  stock  options
because  the  alternative fair value accounting provided  for  under  FASB
Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", requires use
of  option  valuation models that were not designed  for  use  in  valuing
employee stock options.  Under APB 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.

   The Corporation's stock option activity and related information for the
periods  ended December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996, is summarized  as
follows:

================================================================================================

Exercisable at end of period           37,918        $16.33           51,908         $14.42

</TABLE>

    The  weighted-average fair value of options granted during  the  years
1996  and  1997  was  $5.07 and $5.26 per share,  respectively.   Exercise
prices  for options outstanding as of December 31, 1997 ranged from  $9.70
to  $22.27.   The  weighted-average remaining contractual  life  of  these
options is 9.0 years.

   The fair value of the options presented above was estimated at the date
of the grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted  average assumptions for 1997 and 1996, respectively:   risk-free
interest  rates  of 5.50% and 6.75%; dividend yields of 2.70%  and  3.27%;
volatility  factors  of  the expected market price  of  the  Corporation's
common stock of .209 and .230 and a weighted average expected option  life
of  6.0 years.  Because the effect of applying Statement 123's fair  value
method  to  the  Corporation's stock options results  in  net  income  and
earnings  per share amounts that are not materially different  from  those
reported  in  the consolidated statements of income, pro forma information
has not been provided.

    Rental  expense under operating leases was $0.9 million, $0.8 million,
and $1.2 million in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    The  following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the  fair
value  of  each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable
to estimate that value:

    Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents - The carrying amount  approximates  fair
value.

    Securities - Fair values are based on quoted market prices  or  dealer
quotes.

    Loans and Loans Held for Sale - The fair value of fixed rate loans and
variable  rate mortgage loans is estimated by discounting the future  cash
flows  using  current  rates  at which similar  loans  would  be  made  to
borrowers   with  similar  credit  ratings  and  for  the  same  remaining
maturities.    For   other  variable  rate  loans,  the  carrying   amount
approximates fair value.

    Deposits  -  The fair value of demand deposits, savings  accounts  and
money  market  deposits is the amount payable on demand at  the  reporting
date.   The  fair  value  of  fixed-maturity certificates  of  deposit  is
estimated  by discounting the future cash flows using the rates  currently
offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

    Short-Term Borrowings - The carrying amount approximates fair value.

    Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank - The fair value of these  fixed-
maturity advances is estimated by discounting  future cash flows using the
rates currently offered for advances of similar remaining maturities.

    Long-Term Debt - The interest rate on the Corporation's long-term debt
is  variable  or approximates current market rates for similar instruments
and therefore the carrying amount approximates fair value.

    Other  Financial  Instruments - The estimated  fair  value  for  other
financial  instruments and off-balance sheet loan commitments approximates
cost at December 31, 1997 and 1996 and is not considered significant.

15. OFF-BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS

   The Corporation's banking subsidiaries are a party to transactions with
off-balance  sheet  risk  in the normal course of  business  to  meet  the
financing  needs of their customers.  These financial instruments  include
standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit in the form  of
unused  lines of credit.  The Corporation's banking subsidiaries  use  the
same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations  as
they do for on-balance sheet instruments and include these commitments and
conditional obligations in their calculations as to the adequacy of  their
allowances for loan losses.

    At  December  31,  the Banks had the following financial  instruments,
whose approximate contract amounts represent credit risk:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

  (in thousands)                         1997            1996
  --------------------------------------------------------------
<S>                                   <C>              <C>
  Standby letters of credit           $ 14,822         $ 16,047
  Commitments to extend credit         182,306          145,292
</TABLE>

     Standby  letters  of  credit  represent  conditional  commitments  to
guarantee  the performance of a third party.  The credit risk involved  is
essentially the same as the risk involved in making loans.

    Fixed rate loan commitments at December 31, 1997 of $7.4 million  have
interest rates ranging predominately from 6.4% to 18.0% and are for  terms
up  to 5 years.  Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to  a
customer  as  long as there is no violation of the contract.   Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require  payment  of  a fee.  The Banks evaluate each  customer's  credit-
worthiness  on  a  case-by-case basis.  Since many of the commitments  are
expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment  amounts
do  not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  A portion of  the
commitments are to extend credit at fixed rates.  These credit commitments
are  based on prevailing rates, terms and conditions applicable  to  other
loans  being  made at December 31, 1997. Collateral held  varies  but  may
include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment and income-
producing properties.

16. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

      The  Bank and the thrift grant commercial, residential, and consumer
related  loans  to  customers primarily located  in  eastern  and  central
Kentucky.   Although the Bank and the Thrift have diverse loan portfolios,
a certain portion of the debtor's ability to perform is somewhat dependent
upon the coal industry.

17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      The Corporation and Bank, along with several of their officers,  are
named  defendants  in  legal  actions  from  normal  business  activities.
Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes these  actions
are  without  merit  or  that the ultimate liability,  if  any,  will  not
materially affect the Corporation's consolidated financial position.

18. LIMITATION ON SUBSIDIARY BANK DIVIDENDS

    The Corporation's principal source of funds is dividends received from
the  subsidiary banks.  Regulations limit the amount of dividends that may
be  paid by the Corporation's banking subsidiaries without prior approval.
During  1998, approximately $1.7 million plus any 1998 net profits can  be
paid  by  the Corporation's banking subsidiaries without prior  regulatory
approval.

19. REGULATORY MATTERS

    The  Corporation and its banking subsidiaries are subject  to  various
regulatory  capital  requirements  administered  by  the  federal  banking
agencies.   Failure  to  meet  minimum capital requirements  can  initiate
certain  mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary  -  actions  by
regulators  that,  if  undertaken, could have a  direct  material  adverse
effect  on the Corporation's financial statements.  Under capital adequacy
and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation
must  meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative  measures
of  the  Corporation's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance  sheet
items   as   calculated  under  regulatory  accounting   practices.    The
Corporation's  capital  amounts and classification  are  also  subject  to
qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings,
and other factors.

    Quantitative  measures  established by regulation  to  ensure  capital
adequacy  require the Corporation to maintain minimum amounts  and  ratios
(set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I Capital (as defined  in
the  regulations)  to  risk-weighted assets (as defined)  and  of  Tier  I
Capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).  These measures  also
define  banks and bank holding companies as "well-capitalized" which  meet

Report of Management:

       The   management  of  Community  Trust  Bancorp,   Inc.   has   the
responsibility  for  the  preparation, integrity and  reliability  of  the
financial statements and related financial information contained  in  this
annual  report.  Management believes the consolidated financial statements
and  related  financial information reflect fairly the  substance  of  the
transactions  and present fairly the Corporation's financial position  and
results  of  operations in conformity with generally  accepted  accounting
principles and prevailing practices within the banking industry  including
necessary judgments and estimates as required.

      In meeting its responsibilities for the reliability of the financial
statements  and related financial information, management has  established
and  is  responsible  for  maintaining a  system  of  internal  accounting
controls.   The  system is designed to provide reasonable  assurance  that
assets  are safeguarded and that transactions are properly authorized  and
recorded  to facilitate preparation of financial statements which  present
fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Corporation
in  accordance  with  generally accepted accounting principles.   Although
internal accounting controls are designed to achieve these objectives,  it
must  be  recognized that errors or irregularities may nonetheless  occur.
Management  believes  that  its  system of  internal  accounting  controls
provides reasonable assurance that errors or irregularities that could  be
material  to  the financial statements are prevented or would be  detected
within  a  reasonable period of time in the normal course of business.   A
vital  part  of  the  system is a continual and  thorough  internal  audit
program.

      The  board  of  directors of the Corporation has an audit  committee
composed  of  four  directors who are not officers  or  employees  of  the
Corporation.   The committee meets periodically with management,  internal
auditors  and  the independent public accountants to review audit  results
and  to  assure  that the audit and internal control functions  are  being
properly discharged.

      Ernst  & Young LLP, independent public accountants have been engaged
to  render  an  independent  professional  opinion  on  the  Corporation's
financial  statements.   Their  audit  is  conducted  in  accordance  with
generally  accepted  auditing standards and  forms  the  basis  for  their
reports  as  to  the  fair  presentation of  the  Corporation's  financial
position and results of operations contained in this annual report.

      Management  has  made  an assessment of the  Corporation's  internal
control  structure  and  procedures over  financial  reporting  using  the
criteria  described in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework"  issued  by
the  Committee  of  Sponsoring Organization of  the  Treadway  Commission.
Based  on  that  assessment,  management  believes  that  the  Corporation
maintained an effective system of internal control for financial reporting
as of December 31, 1997.

                      Report of  Independent Auditors


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Community Trust Bancorp, Inc.

We  have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Community
Trust Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996  and
the  related  consolidated statements of income, changes of  shareholders'
equity,  and  cash  flows for each of the two years in  the  period  ended
December  31, 1997.  These financial statements are the responsibility  of
the Corporation's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance with general  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 consolidated financial statements referred to  above
present  fairly,  in  all  material respects, the  consolidated  financial
position  of  Community Trust Bancorp, Inc., and Subsidiaries at  December
31,  1997  and 1996, and the consolidated results of their operations  and
their  cash  flows for each of the two years in the period ended  December
31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
