Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      The accounting and reporting policies of Community Trust Bancorp,
Inc. (the "Corporation"), 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 Corporation  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 and 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  which  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  or
losses included as a separate component of equity, net of tax.

      The  amortized  cost and fair value of securities available-for-
sale as of March 31, 2000 are summarized as follows:

                                            Amortized    Fair

      On  January  25,  2000,  the Corporation's  Board  of  Directors
approved  a 10% stock dividend.  The stock dividend was paid on  April
15,  2000, to shareholders of record on March 20, 2000.  On April  15,
1999, there was a 10% stock dividend paid to shareholders of record on
March 20, 1999.  All per share data has been restated to reflect these
stock dividends.

      Regular  quarterly cash dividends were paid on (1) April 1,  1999
of  17  cents per share for shareholders of record on March 15,  1999,
(2)  July 1, 1999 of 18 cents per share for shareholders of record  on
June  15,  1999,  (3)  October 1, 1999  of  18  cents  per  share  for
shareholders of record on September 15, 1999, (4) January 1,  2000  of
18 cents per share for shareholders of record on December 15, 1999 and
(5) April 1, 2000 of 18 cents per share for shareholders of record  on
March 15, 2000.


Income Statement Review

      The Corporation's net income for the three months ended March 31,
2000  was $5.1 million or $0.42 per share as compared to $5.1  million
or  $0.42  per share for the three months ended March 31,  1999.   The
following  table  sets  forth on an annualized  basis  the  return  on
average  assets  and return on average shareholders'  equity  for  the
three month period ending March 31, 2000 and 1999:

                                            Three months ended
                                                 March 31
                                             2000        1999

Return on average shareholders' equity      11.82%      12.35%

Return on average assets                     0.95%       0.95%

      Provision for loan losses for the three months ended  March  31,
2000 was $2.5 million, compared to $2.0 million for the same period in
1999. See "Provision For Loan Losses" below for an explanation of  the
increase.


Net Interest Income

      Net  interest income increased $0.8 million or 4.1%  from  $20.3
million  for the first quarter of 1999 to $21.1 million for the  first
quarter  of 2000.  Interest income and interest expense both increased
for  the quarter ending March 31, 2000 as compared to the same  period
in  1999,  with interest income increasing $1.6 million  and  interest
expense increasing $0.7 million.

                                     8
<PAGE>
      The  yield on interest earning assets increased 33 basis  points
for  the first quarter of 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999,
as  a  result  of  (1)  funds being redeployed  to  loans  from  other
financial assets and (2) rising interest rates.  The cost of  interest
bearing  funds also increased by 22 basis points for the first quarter
of  2000 as compared to the same period in 1999 due to rising interest
rates.  As a result, the net interest margin increased from 4.27%  for
the first quarter of 1999 to 4.45% for the current quarter.

      The  Corporation's loan portfolio, its highest  yielding  asset,
continues to expand.  The Corporation's loan portfolio increased  9.3%
from $1.51 billion for the first quarter of 1999 to $1.65 billion  for
the first quarter of 2000.

      The following table summarizes the annualized net interest spread
and  net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

Provision for Loan Losses

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

                                           Three Months Ended
                                                 March 31

Allowance for loan losses to
 period-end loans                             1.53%      1.61%
Average loans, net of unearned income   $1,630,319 $1,501,450
Provision for loan losses to
 average loans, annualized                     .60%       .55%
Loan charge-offs net of recoveries, to
 average loans, annualized                     .60%      1.04%

      The  Corporation increased its provision for loan losses  during
the first quarter of 2000.  This increase is primarily due to the loan
growth  experienced in the first quarter of 2000.  In September  1998,
CTBI took a special charge of $7.3 million to clean up problems in the
Indirect  Loan  Portfolio.  Six million dollars  of  this  charge  was
booked  as additional Provision for Loan Losses.  As a result,  losses
incurred in the Corporation's pre-1998 Indirect Lending Portfolio  are
charged  against this provision. In the first quarter  of  1999,  $942
thousand  of the net charge-offs were applied to the pre-1998  special
reserve.  In the first quarter of 2000, this amount decreased to  $323
thousand.   The  1999 provision was less than the 2000 provision  even
though  gross  net  charge-offs were greater  in  1999,  because  $942
thousand of the 1999 charge-offs were applied to the special reserve.

      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 44 basis points to
0.60%  for  the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared  to  the
same  period in 1999.  The Corporation's non-performing loans (90 days
or  more past due and non-accrual) were 1.12% and 1.33% of outstanding
loans at December 31, 1999 and March 31, 2000, respectively.

                                 9
<PAGE>
      Any loans classified as 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 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

      The  Corporation's noninterest income decreased 6.87% from $5.00
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $4.65 million for
the  three  months  ended  March 31,  2000.   This  net  decrease  can
primarily  be attributed to gains on the sale of loans which decreased
from  $703 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 1999, to $133
thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and service charges
on  deposit accounts which increased 8.63%, or $186 thousand, for  the
three  months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the same  period  in
1999.


Noninterest Expense

      The  Corporation's noninterest expense remained  flat  at  $15.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999.

These calculations were specifically formulated by the Corporation and
may  not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by  other
companies.

Earnings per share calculations have been restated to reflect the  10%
stock dividend paid on April 15, 2000.


Balance Sheet Review

      Total assets were $2.18 billion at December 31, 1999 compared to
$2.17  billion at March 31, 2000. During the last three months,  loans
increased  1.7%  from  $1.62  billion to  $1.65  billion.   Securities
decreased  from $331 million at December 31, 1999 to $311  million  at
March 31, 2000.

      The  Corporation's largest liability, deposits,  decreased  from
$1.88 billion as of December 31, 1999 to $1.86 billion as of March 31,
2000.   Noninterest bearing deposits declined from $261.9  million  at
December  31,  1999  to  $258.8 million at March  31,  2000.  Interest
bearing deposits decreased from $1,615.5 million at December 31,  1999
to $1,604.7 million at March 31, 2000.

                                   10
<PAGE>
Loans

      Loans  increased from $1.62 billion as of December 31,  1999  to
$1.65 billion as of March 31, 2000, primarily due to the growth of the
Corporation's  commercial loan portfolio.  The category of  commercial
loans  secured  by  real estate increased from $406.3  million  as  of
December  31, 1999 to $429.2 million as of March 31, 2000 while  other
commercial loans increased from $293.7 million as of December 31, 1999
to  $314.0  million  as  of  March 31,  2000.   These  increases  were
partially  offset  by a decrease in consumer loans of  $13.9  million.
The  Corporation has strengthened the underwriting standards of
its consumer loan portfolio.  The changes in underwriting standards have
resulted in a decrease in the volume of new loans booked.

      Non-accrual and 90 days past due loans amounted to 1.12% of total
loans  outstanding as of December 31, 1999 and 1.33%  of  total  loans
outstanding  as of March 31, 2000.  Non-accrual loans as a  percentage
of  total loans outstanding were 0.92% as of December 31, 1999 and  at
1.20%  at  March 31, 2000.  During the same period, loans 90  days  or
more  past  due  decreased 7 basis points from 0.20%  of  total  loans
outstanding  to  0.13%.  The allowance for loan losses decreased  from
1.55%  of total loans outstanding as of December 31, 1999 to 1.53%  as
of  March 31, 2000.  The allowance for loan losses as a percentage  of
non-accrual  loans and loans past due 90 days or more  was  138.7%  at
December 31, 1999 and 114.7% at March 31, 2000.

      Loans  on  non-accrual status increased from  $14.8  million  at
December  31, 1999 to $19.7 million at March 31, 2000, an increase  of
$4.9 million.  This increase was substantially due to the additions of
two secured commercial loans totaling $4.6 million.  Both businesses
continue to operate and the sale of both businesses is being actively
pursued by their owners.  The Corporation does not anticipate a material
loss from these two loans.

      The following table summarizes the Corporation's loans that  are
non-accrual  or  past due 90 days or more as of  March  31,  2000  and
December 31, 1999.

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.

                                    11
<PAGE>
      Off-balance  sheet  risk is addressed by  including  letters  of
credit in the Corporation's allowance adequacy analysis and through  a
monthly   review   of   all  letters  of  credit   outstanding.    The
Corporation'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  Corporation  uses  its  securities  held-to-maturity   for
production  of  income and to manage cash flow needs through  expected
maturities.   The  Corporation uses its securities  available-for-sale
for income and balance sheet liquidity management.  The book value  of
securities  available-for-sale decreased from  $270.3  million  as  of
December  31, 1999 to $253.3 million as of March 31, 2000.  Securities
held-to-maturity declined from $60.3 million to $57.6  million  during
the  same  period.  Total securities as a percentage of  total  assets
were 15.2% as of December 31, 1999 and 14.3% as of March 31, 2000.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The  Corporation's liquidity objectives are to ensure that funds
are available for the subsidiary banks to meet deposit withdrawals and
credit  demands without unduly penalizing profitability, and to ensure
that  funding  is available for the Corporation to meet  ongoing  cash
needs  while  maximizing profitability.  The Corporation 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 $1.877 billion to $1.863  billion  from
December  31,  1999 to March 31, 2000.  Noninterest  bearing  deposits
decreased by $3.1 million while interest-bearing deposits decreased by
$10.8 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 Corporation's liquidity needs.

      The  Corporation  owns $253.3 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 Corporation  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 $16.9 million as of December 31, 1999 to $16.1
million as of March 31, 2000.

      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  issuance  of   long-term   debt.    The
Corporation  currently has a $21.0 million revolving line  of  credit,
$15.5 million of which is currently available to meet any future  cash
needs.   (See  long-term  debt footnote to the consolidated  financial

                                  12
<PAGE>
statements.)   The Corporation'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 Corporation 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  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.

      On  a limited basis, the Corporation 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 Corporation  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 Corporation would typically sell the right to
a third party to purchase securities the Corporation currently owns at
a  fixed  price  on  a future date.  The Corporation  had  no  swaps
or options outstanding at March 31, 2000.

      The Corporation'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  Corporation'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'  2000
profits, approximately $27.4 million can be paid to the Corporation as
dividends without prior regulatory approval.

      The  primary source of capital for the Corporation  is  retained
earnings.  The Corporation paid cash dividends of $0.18 per share  for
the first three months of 2000 and $0.17 per share for the first three
months  of  1999.  Earnings per share for the same periods were  $0.42
and $0.42, respectively.  The Corporation retained 57% of earnings for
the first three months of 2000.

      Under  guidelines issued by banking regulators, the  Corporation
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 Corporation must also maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio  of
4%.   The  Corporation's Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based and  total
risk-based  ratios  were 7.29%, 9.01% and 10.27%, respectively  as  of
March 31, 2000.

      As  of  March 31, 2000, 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 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
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 Corporation'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.
