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 June 30, 1999 are summarized as follows:

                                            Amortized    Fair

Income Statement Review

     The Company's net income for the three months ended June 30, 1999
was  $5.4  million or $0.49 per share as compared to $4.2  million  or
$0.38  per share for the three months ended June 30, 1998.  Net income
for  the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $10.5 million or $0.95 per
share  as  compared  to $8.4 million or $0.76 per share  for  the  six
months  ended  June 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 six month periods  ending  June
30, 1999 and 1998:

                                    Three months ended   Six months ended

Return on average assets                 0.99%  0.90%       0.97%  0.91%


     The Company's net income for the second quarter of 1999 increased
$1,192  thousand  or  28.1% as compared to the same  period  in  1998.
Earnings  per share increased $0.11 per share or 28.9% for  the  three
months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the second quarter of 1998.
The  increase  in  net income was the result of  an  increase  in  net
interest  income (11.7%) and a decrease in provision for  loan  losses
(34.1%).  A decrease in noninterest income (11.1%) and an increase  in
noninterest  expense (9.4%) partially offset the factors  contributing
to the increase in net income.

      Provision  for loan losses for the three months ended  June  30,
1999 was $2.7 million, compared to $4.1 million for the same period in
1998. See "Provision For Loan Losses" below for an explanation of  the
decrease.

                                   9

Net Interest Income

      Net  interest income increased $2.2 million or 11.7% from  $18.8
million for the second quarter of 1998 to $21.0 million for the second
quarter  of 1999.  Interest income increased $2.1 million or 5.3%  for
the  quarter  ending June 30, 1999 as compared to the same  period  in
1998, while interest expense had a slight decrease of $143 thousand.

      The  yield on interest earning assets decreased 65 basis  points
for the second quarter of 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998.
The  cost of interest bearing funds also decreased by 71 basis  points
for the second quarter of 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998.
As  a  result,  the net interest margin decreased from 4.43%  for  the
second quarter of 1998 to 4.37% for the current quarter.

      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  5.4%  from  $1.48
billion for the second quarter of 1998 to $1.56 billion for the second
quarter of 1999.

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                  0.71%        0.67%


      The  Company decreased its provision for loan losses during  the
first  six  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
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 increased 4 basis points to
0.71%  for the six months ended June 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 1.26% of outstanding loans at
December 31, 1998 and June 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 decreased  11.1%  from  $5.82
million for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $5.17 million  for
the  three  months  ended  June 30, 1999.  This  decrease  is  largely
contributed  to  a  gain on the sale of fixed  assets  in  the  second
quarter of 1998 of $1.3 million.  A decrease of 42.3% in gains on  the
sale  of  loans  is  also a contributing factor.  Service  charges  on
deposit  accounts increased 44.6% for the three months ended June  30,
1999 as compared to the same period in 1998.

Noninterest Expense

      The  Company's noninterest expense increased by 9.4% from  $14.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $15.7 million  for
the  same period in 1999. All major categories of noninterest  expense
experienced increases for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 compared  to
the  same  quarter  in  1998.  This is primarily  the  result  of  the
Company's   1998  acquisition  of  twelve  additional  branches   (see
discussion  of  acquisitions  above).   While  the  total  noninterest
expense  increased, the noninterest expense expressed in  terms  of  a
percentage to average assets decreased from 0.76% for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 to 0.71% for the same period in 1999.

Balance Sheet Review

      Total asset size was $2.25 billion at December 31, 1998 compared
to  $2.18 billion at June 30, 1999. During the last six months,  loans
increased  7.5%  on an annualized basis from $1.50  billion  to  $1.56

                                12
<PAGE>

billion.  Federal funds sold decreased from $135.0 million at December
31,  1998 to $42.9 million at June 30, 1999.  This decrease was driven
by  an  increase in the loan portfolio and reductions in Federal  Home
Loan  Bank  advances  of  $32.7 million and total  deposits  of  $42.4
million.

      The  Company's largest liability, deposits, decreased from $1.92
billion as of December 31, 1998 to $1.88 billion as of June 30,  1999.
Noninterest bearing deposits declined from $281.3 million at  December
31, 1998 to $257.1 million at June 30, 1999. Interest bearing deposits
decreased  slightly  from $1,639.8 million at  December  31,  1998  to
$1,621.7 million at June 30, 1999.  The Company is using the liquidity
from  the  branch acquisitions to pay down its advances  from  Federal
Home  Loan  Bank as the opportunity arises.  For the six months  ended
June 30, 1999, the Company reduced its Federal Home Loan Bank advances
from $51.4 million to $18.7 million.


Loans

      Loans  increased from $1.50 billion as of December 31,  1998  to
$1.56 billion as of June 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 $372.0 million as of June 30, 1999 while other commercial
loans  increased from $279.4 million as of December 31, 1998 to $296.5
million as of June 30, 1999.

     Non-accrual and 90 days past due loans amounted to 1.37% of total
loans  outstanding as of December 31, 1998 and 1.26%  of  total  loans
outstanding as of June 30, 1999.  Non-accrual loans as a percentage of
total  loans  outstanding were 0.99% as of December 31,  1998  and  at
1.02% at June 30, 1999.  During the same period, loans 90 days or more
past  due  decreased  14  basis  points  from  0.38%  of  total  loans
outstanding  to  0.24%.  The allowance for loan losses decreased  from
1.74%  of total loans outstanding as of December 31, 1998 to 1.64%  as
of  June  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 1998.  The allowance
for  loan  losses as a percentage of non-accrual loans and loans  past
due 90 days or more was 126.9% at December 31, 1998 and 129.8% at June
30, 1999.

      The following table summarizes the Company's loans that are non-
accrual  or past due 90 days or more as of June 30, 1999 and  December

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  $299.1  million  as of June 30, 1999.   Securities  held-to-
maturity declined from $83.4 million to $72.0 million during the  same
period.   Total securities as a percentage of total assets were  17.1%
as of December 31, 1998 and as of June 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  is  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,  along
with  a  Year  2000 Working Team made up of employees  from  each  key
business  area.  These  company leaders have taken  responsibility  to
identify  and  repair instances where dates may not process  correctly
within their area of operation and to test for interdependencies  with
clients,  vendors  and other corporate units. We have  identified  and
contacted  the bank's significant vendors to inquire about  their  own
Year  2000  readiness  plans, and are tracking  and  monitoring  their
progress.  To  ensure that all areas are covered,  these  efforts  are
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  -  (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

                                 14
<PAGE>

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,
plays a key role in the success of our entire Year 2000 project.  This
phase  includes  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  is
required.  During this phase, monitoring and communications  with  our
service and software vendors will be maintained to assure these vendor
efforts  are  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, has already installed
Year  2000  upgrades  to  their  data  processing  systems.   We  have
performed substantial off-site and on-site testing of this upgrade.

Implementation Phase - (Complete) -Our data processing Systems will be
certified   as   Year   2000  compliant.   For  any   system   failing
certification,  the business effect will be clearly assessed  and  the
organization's  Year 2000 contingency plans will be implemented.  This
phase  will also 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, and 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  cost  of  the Year 2000 project and the date by  which  the
Company  believes  it  will  be Year 2000  compliant  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 $1.879  billion  from
December  31,  1998  to June 30, 1999.  Noninterest  bearing  deposits
decreased  by $24.2 million while interest-bearing deposits  decreased
by $18.1 million.

                                  15
<PAGE>

      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 $299.1 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 $18.7 million as of June
30, 1999.

      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 June 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
second  quarter of 1999 and $0.18 per share for the second quarter  of
1998.   Earnings per share for the same periods were $0.49 and  $0.38,
respectively.   The Company retained 59% of earnings  for  the  second
quarter of 1999.

                                 16
<PAGE>

      Under  guidelines issued by banking regulators, the Company  and
its  subsidiary banks are required to maintain a minimum Tier 1  risk-
based capital ratio of 4% and a minimum total risk-based ratio of  8%.
Risk-based  capital  ratios weight the relative risk  factors  of  all
assets  and consider the risk associated with off-balance sheet items.
The  Company must also maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of  4%
as of September 30, 1997.  The Company's Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-
based  and  total  risk-based  ratios were  6.68%,  8.64%  and  9.89%,
respectively as of June 30, 1999.

      As  of  June  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.


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.
