Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
Upon recommendation by the Audit and Asset Quality
Committee and the Board of Directors, on April 25, 2000, the
shareholders of Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. elected
Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte & Touche") to serve as
independent certified public accountants for 2000.
Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. chose not to continue the
engagement of Ernst & Young LLP ("Ernst & Young"), its
former principal accountants. Prior to the engagement of
Deloitte & Touche, the registrant did not consult with
Deloitte & Touche with regard to any specified transaction
where advice from such firm was an important factor
considered by the registrant in reaching a decision as to
the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues.
Ernst & Young served as the independent certified
public accountants for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998, 1997 and 1996. During the years 1996 through 1999 and
the interim period before dismissal, there were no
disagreements with Ernst & Young on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or
auditing scope or procedure or any reportable events. No
report of Ernst & Young on Community Trust Bancorp, Inc.'s
financial statements for the last two years contained any
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was any report
qualified in any matter.
Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. requested a letter from
Ernst & Young addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees
with the above statements, and if not, stating in what
respects it does not agree. Ernst & Young's letter, dated
May 16, 2000, is attached as Exhibit 1 to this Form 8-K/A.
Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(a) Financial statements of business acquired. Not
applicable.
(b) Exhibits.
The following exhibits are being filed herewith and this
list shall constitute the exhibit index:
