Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     The accounting and reporting policies of Community Trust Bancorp,
Inc.  (the  "Company"), and its subsidiaries on a  consolidated  basis
conform  to  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  and  general
practices within the banking industry.

      Principles   of  Consolidation  -  The  unaudited  consolidated
financial  statements  include the accounts of  the  Company  and  its
separate and distinct, wholly owned subsidiaries Community Trust Bank,
NA,  Community  Trust Bank, FSB, Trust Company of  Kentucky,  National
Association, CTBI Preferred Capital Trust, and Community Trust Funding
Corporation.   All  significant intercompany  transactions  have  been
eliminated in consolidation.


Note 2 - Securities

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

      The  amortized  cost and fair value of securities available-for-
sale as of September 30, 1999 are summarized as follows:

                                            Amortized    Fair

Income Statement Review

     The Company's net income for the three months ended September 30,
1999  was $5.6 million or $0.51 per share as compared to $0.7  million
or  $0.06 per share for the three months ended September 30, 1998 when
the  Company  took  a  one time charge to clean  up  problems  in  its
Indirect  Lending Portfolio and to complete the efficiency  initiative
which  began in 1997.  Net income for the nine months ended  September
30,  1999  was  $16.2 million or $1.46 per share as compared  to  $9.1
million  or  $0.82 per share for the nine months ended  September  30,
1999.   The  following  table sets forth on an  annualized  basis  the
return  on  average assets and return on average shareholders'  equity
for  the  three and nine month periods ending September 30,  1999  and
1998:

                                   Three months ended   Nine months ended
                                       September 30        September 30

Return on average shareholders'

Return on average assets             1.03%      0.13%    0.99%      0.62%


      The Company's net income for the third quarter of 1999 increased
$4.9  million  or  700.9%  as compared to the  same  period  in  1998.
Earnings  per share increased $0.45 per share or 750.0% for the  three
months  ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the third quarter  of
1998.  The Company's net income, excluding the special provision taken
in  1998,  increased $324 thousand or 6.1% for the three months  ended
September  30, 1999 as compared to same period in 1998.  The  increase
in  net  income  was the result of an increase in net interest  income
(9.5%),  an  increase in noninterest income (17.3%) and a decrease  in
noninterest expense (6.5%).

                                   8
<PAGE>

      Provision  for loan losses for the three months ended  September
30,  1999  was  $2.2 million, compared to $8.2 million  for  the  same
period  in  1998.  See  "Provision  For  Loan  Losses"  below  for  an
explanation of the decrease.


Net Interest Income

      Net  interest income increased $1.8 million or 9.5%  from  $19.3
million  for the third quarter of 1998 to $21.1 million for the  third
quarter  of 1999.  Both interest income and interest expense decreased
for  the  quarter ending September 30, 1999 as compared  to  the  same
period  in 1998.  Interest income decreased $0.9 million or  2.2%  for
the  quarter ending September 30, 1999 as compared to the same  period
in  1998,  while  interest expense had a decrease of $2.7  million  or
12.3%.

      The  yield on interest earning assets decreased 19 basis  points
for  the third quarter of 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998.
The  cost  of interest bearing funds decreased by 62 basis points  for
the third quarter of 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998.  The
net interest margin increased from 4.02% for the third quarter of 1998
to 4.41% for the current quarter, a result of the Company's ability to
redeploy funds into higher yielding loans.

      The  Company's  loan  portfolio,  its  highest  yielding  asset,
continues  to  expand  through new markets  and  internally  generated
growth.   The  Company's  loan portfolio  increased  6.9%  from  $1.56
billion  for the third quarter of 1998 to $1.61 billion for the  third
quarter of 1999.

      The following table summarizes the annualized net interest spread
and  net interest margin for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1999 and 1998.

Provision for Loan Losses

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

                                           Nine Months Ended

Allowance for loan losses to

Average loans, net of unearned income  $1,538,782   $1,455,941
Provision for loan losses to
 average loans, annualized                   0.60%        1.35%
Loan charge-offs, net of recoveries to
 average loans, annualized                   0.63%        0.73%


      The  Company decreased its provision for loan losses during  the
first  nine  months of 1999. This is the result of the special  charge
taken in September 1998. In September 1998, CTBI took a special charge
of  $7.3  million to clean up problems in the Indirect Loan Portfolio.
Six  million  ($6.0 million) of this charge was booked  as  additional

                                    9
<PAGE>

Provision  for  Loan  Losses.  As a result,  losses  incurred  in  the
Company's pre-1998 Indirect Lending Portfolio are charged against this
provision.

      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 decreased 10 basis points to
0.63% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to  the
same  period in 1998.  The Company's non-performing loans (90 days  or
more  past  due  and non-accrual) were 1.37% and 1.28% of  outstanding
loans at December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999, respectively.

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

Noninterest Income

      The  Company's  noninterest income increased  17.3%  from  $4.72
million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 to $5.53 million
for  the  three  months ended September 30, 1999.   This  increase  is
largely  contributed  to  an increase in service  charges  on  deposit
accounts of 25.5%.  This increase is offset by a decrease in gains  on
sale  of loans from $449 thousand for the three months ended September
30, 1998 as compared to $295 thousand as of the same period in 1999.

Noninterest Expense

      The  Company's noninterest expense decreased by 6.5% from  $17.5
million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 to $16.3 million
for  the same period in 1999. In the third quarter of 1998 a one  time
charge of $1.3 million was taken to complete the efficiency initiative
which  began in 1997.  When excluding this one time charge noninterest
expense was held relatively flat.

Balance Sheet Review

      Total asset size was $2.25 billion at December 31, 1998 compared
to  $2.16 billion at September 30, 1999. During the last nine  months,
loans  increased  9.9% on an annualized basis from  $1.50  billion  to
$1.61  billion.   The Company has successfully redeployed  funds  into
higher  yielding assets as is reflected in the elimination of  federal
funds sold of $135.0 million at December 31, 1998.  This decrease  was
also  driven by reductions in Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $33.6
million and total deposits of $66.2 million.

      The  Company's largest liability, deposits, decreased from $1.92
billion  as of December 31, 1998 to $1.85 billion as of September  30,
1999.   Noninterest bearing deposits declined from $281.3  million  at
December  31,  1998 to $245.4 million at September 30, 1999.  Interest
bearing deposits also decreased from $1,639.8 million at December  31,
1998 to $1,609.6 million at September 30, 1999.  The Company used  the
liquidity  from  the  branch acquisitions in  1998  to  pay  down  its
advances  from Federal Home Loan Bank as the opportunity arises.   For
the  nine  months  ended September 30, 1999, the Company  reduced  its
Federal Home Loan Bank advances from $51.4 million to $17.8 million.

                                    11

Loans

      Loans  increased from $1.50 billion as of December 31,  1998  to
$1.61 billion as of September 30, 1999, primarily due to the growth of
the  Company's commercial loan portfolio.  The category of  commercial
loans  secured  by  real estate increased from $329.6  million  as  of
December  31,  1998 to $396.6 million as of September 30,  1999  while
other  commercial loans increased from $279.4 million as  of  December
31, 1998 to $296.8 million as of September 30, 1999.

     Non-accrual and 90 days past due loans amounted to 1.37% of total
loans  outstanding as of December 31, 1998 and 1.28%  of  total  loans
outstanding  as  of  September  30,  1999.   Non-accrual  loans  as  a
percentage  of total loans outstanding were 0.99% as of  December  31,
1998  and  at  1.07% at September 30, 1999.  During the  same  period,
loans 90 days or more past due decreased 16 basis points from 0.38% of
total  loans  outstanding  to 0.22%.  The allowance  for  loan  losses
decreased  from  1.74% of total loans outstanding as of  December  31,
1998  to  1.59% as of September 30, 1999. This is consistent with  our
plan to absorb losses taken in our pre-1998 Indirect Lending Portfolio
in  the  allowance after the special provision was made  in  September

Allowance for loan losses

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

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

Securities

      The  Company uses its securities held-to-maturity for production
of  income  and to manage cash flow needs through expected maturities.
The  Company  uses its securities available-for-sale  for  income  and
balance  sheet  liquidity management.  The book  value  of  securities
available-for-sale decreased from $301.1 million as  of  December  31,
1998  to $280.0 million as of September 30, 1999.  Securities held-to-
maturity declined from $83.4 million to $65.5 million during the  same
period.   Total securities as a percentage of total assets were  17.1%
as of December 31, 1998 and 16.0% as of September 30, 1999.


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  properly  process  into  the  next  century.
Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. has already taken the steps to be  "Year
2000   compliant".   Community  Trust  Bancorp,  Inc.   realized   the
importance  of Year 2000 readiness early and committed the people  and
resources  to  prepare its systems for January  1,  2000  and  beyond.
Achieving  Year  2000 readiness has been the company's top  technology
priority.  Early  on  we  formed both a Year 2000  Executive  Steering
Committee consisting of our top executives and top management,  and  a
Year  2000  Working Team made up of employees from each  key  business
area.  These  company leaders identified and repaired instances  where
dates  may not have processed correctly within their area of operation
and  tested  for  interdependencies with clients,  vendors  and  other
corporate  units.  We identified and contacted the bank's  significant
vendors, inquiring about their own Year 2000 readiness plans, and have
tracked  and  monitored their progress. These efforts were coordinated
and  tracked  centrally by the Year 2000 Working Team and reported  to
the  Year 2000 Executive Steering Committee and the Board of Directors
on a regular basis.

Awareness  Phase - (Complete) - We defined the Year 2000  problem  and
allocated   the  appropriate  resources  necessary  to   perform   our
compliance  work.  We established both a Year 2000 Executive  Steering
Committee  and  a  Year  2000 Working Team and  developed  an  overall
strategy  for our Year 2000 efforts that encompasses in-house systems,
service  bureaus  for systems that are outsourced, vendors,  auditors,
customers, and suppliers.

Assessment  Phase  -  (Complete)  - We  then  assessed  the  size  and
complexity of the problem and the magnitude of the effort necessary to
address  our  Year  2000 issues. This phase identified  all  hardware,
software,  networks, automated teller machines, and  other  processing
platforms,  along with customer and vendor interdependencies  affected
by  the  Year  2000  date change. We have completed  an  inventory  of
systems in the bank, prioritized those that were identified, and  made
detailed  plans to renovate and test modifications to make  them  Year
2000  ready.  Our assessment went well beyond information systems  and
included   environmental  systems  that  are  dependent  on   embedded
microchips, such as security systems, elevators, and vaults.

Renovation Phase - (Complete) - Strategies were developed for the code
enhancements,  hardware renovation or replacements, software  upgrades
and  vendor  certification, along with other associated changes.  This
work  was  prioritized based on the information  gathered  during  our
assessment phase. A millennium test site was developed to assure  that
testing  of  our  hardware and software could  occur  outside  of  our
working   environment  before  being  implemented  on  our  production
systems. Plans were made for on-going communications and monitoring of
our key vendors, third-party service providers, and software providers
throughout our Year 2000 project timeline.

Validation Phase - (Complete) - Testing, while inherent in each phase,
played a key role in the success of our entire Year 2000 project. This
phase  included  testing of all incremental changes  to  hardware  and
software components, along with interfaces and connections with  other
systems.  Also, validation from both internal and external  users  was
performed. During this phase, monitoring and communications  with  our

                                 13
<PAGE>

service  and  software vendors was maintained to assure  these  vendor
efforts  were tracked and their progress closely monitored.  Our  core
third party data processor, one of the country's leading suppliers  of
financial  institution data processing services, installed  Year  2000
upgrades to their data processing systems in October of 1998.  We have
successfully  performed substantial off-site and  on-site  testing  of
this upgrade.

Implementation  Phase - (Complete) -Our data processing  Systems  have
been certified as Year 2000 compliant.  This phase included controlled
date  change  testing  to ensure that any new  systems  or  subsequent
changes to verified systems are compliant with Year 2000 requirements.
We  have  completed  testing and determined that  all  of   our  major
systems  are  Year 2000 ready. We have also verified that our  systems
will  recognize that 2000 is a leap year.  We continue to work closely
with  our  client and vendor companies to verify that  they  also  are
prepared  for  the century date change.  In addition, we have  drafted
our  "Business Resumption Plan" which provides contingency  plans  for
all identified Year 2000 issues.

      The costs associated with the Year 2000 project were $600,000 in
1998  and  are  estimated to be $886,000 in 1999.   Because  Community
Trust Bancorp, Inc. is utilizing internal staff for the management and
implementation of its Year 2000 Compliance program, it does not expect
to  incur  any material costs with outside contractors.  Subsequently,
it  does not anticipate a material increase in operating costs  to  be
incurred.

      The  1999 costs associated with the Year 2000 project are  based
upon  management's  current best estimates, which were  derived  based
upon numerous assumptions of future events, including availability  of
certain  resources, third party modification plans and other  factors.
Actual results could vary from those anticipated.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

      Deposits  decreased from $1.921 billion to $1.855  billion  from
December 31, 1998 to September 30, 1999.  Noninterest bearing deposits
decreased  by $36.0 million while interest-bearing deposits  decreased
by $30.2 million.

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

      The  Company owns $280.0 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  decreased
from  $51.4  million as of December 31, 1998 to $17.8  million  as  of
September 30, 1999.

                                   14
<PAGE>

      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, $12.0  million
of  which is currently available to meet any future cash needs.   (See
long-term  debt  footnote to the consolidated  financial  statements.)
The  Company's  primary  investing  activities  include  purchases  of
securities and loan originations.

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

      On  a limited basis, the Company may use interest rate swaps and
sales  of  options  on  securities as  additional  tools  in  managing
interest rate risk.  Interest rate swaps involve an exchange  of  cash
flows based on the notional principal amount and agreed upon fixed and
variable  interest  rates.   In this transaction,  the  Company  would
typically agree to pay a floating interest rate based on London Inter-
Bank  Offering  Rate  (LIBOR) and receive a  fixed  interest  rate  in
return.  On options, the Company would typically sell the right  to  a
third  party to purchase securities the Company currently  owns  at  a
fixed  price on a future date.  The Company had no options outstanding
at September 30, 1999.

      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 would have any major impact  in  the
foreseeable  future.   In  addition  to  the  subsidiary  banks'  1999
profits,  approximately $14.5 million can be paid to  the  Company  as
dividends without prior regulatory approval.

      The  primary  source  of  capital for the  Company  is  retained
earnings.  The Company paid cash dividends of $0.20 per share for  the
third  quarter  of 1999 and $0.18 per share for the third  quarter  of
1998.   Earnings per share for the same periods were $0.51 and  $0.06,
respectively.   The  Company retained 61% of earnings  for  the  third
quarter of 1999.

      Under  guidelines issued by banking regulators, the Company  and
its  subsidiary banks are required to maintain a minimum Tier 1  risk-
based capital ratio of 4% and a minimum total risk-based ratio of  8%.
Risk-based  capital  ratios weight the relative risk  factors  of  all
assets  and consider the risk associated with off-balance sheet items.
The  Company must also maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of  4%
as of September 30, 1997.  The Company's Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-
based  and  total  risk-based ratios were  6.96%,  8.86%  and  10.11%,
respectively as of September 30, 1999.

      As of September 30, 1999, 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.

                                  15

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

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

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

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

      The  Company  currently does not engage  in  any  derivative  or
hedging  activity.  Refer to the Company's 1998 10-K for  analysis  of
the interest rate sensitivity.
