NOTE  1:   BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING
POLICIES


Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial  statements  have  been
prepared  in  accordance with generally accepted accounting principles  for
interim  financial information and with the instructions to Form  10-Q  and
Rule  10-1 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of  the
information  and  footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted   accounting
principles   for  complete  financial  statements.   In  the   opinion   of
management,  all  adjustments  (consisting of  normal  recurring  accruals)
considered  necessary  for a fair presentation  have  been  included.   The
financial  statements include the accounts of CBT Corporation  (the  Parent
Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Citizens Bank and Trust Company
of  Paducah  (Citizens), Pennyrile Citizens Bank and Trust  Company  (PCB),
Bank  of Marshall County (BOMC), Graves County Bank, Inc. (GCB), and United
Commonwealth Bank, FSB (UCB).  Collectively, these entities constitute  the
"Corporation",  which  provides  financial services  primarily  in  western
Kentucky and surrounding communities.  Fidelity Credit Corporation (FCC), a
finance  company  that  operates throughout  Kentucky,  is  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary   of  Citizens.   All  significant  intercompany  accounts   and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Operating  results for the six month period ended June 30,  1997,  are  not
necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected  for  the  year
ended   December  31,  1997.   For  further  information,  refer   to   the
consolidated  financial statements and footnotes thereto  included  in  the
Corporation's  annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31,
1996.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of reporting cash flows, cash and cash  equivalents  include
cash and due from banks, Federal funds sold and money market investments.


Allowance for Loan Losses

The  allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate
to  provide  for potential losses based on management's evaluation  of  the
loan  portfolio, including the financial strength of guarantors,  valuation
of  collateral,  and the likelihood of further collection  based  upon  the
borrower's  financial condition, as well as on prevailing  and  anticipated
economic conditions.

Although   management  uses  the  best  information   available   to   make
determinations   with  respect  to  the  Corporation's  allowance,   future
adjustments  may  be  necessary  if economic  or  other  conditions  differ
substantially from the economic and other conditions considered  in  making
the initial determinations, and such adjustments could be material.

Effective January 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 114 "Accounting
by  Creditors  for  Impairment  of a Loan"  as  amended  by  SFAS  No.  118
"Accounting  by  Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition  and
Disclosures."  These pronouncements require that impaired loans be measured
based  upon  the present value of expected future cash flows discounted  at
the  loans' effective interest rate or at the loans' market price  or  fair
value  of collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. When the measure
of  the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the
impairment  is recorded through a valuation allowance that is  included  in
the  allowance  for  loan  losses.  These pronouncements  did  not  have  a

                                Page 7
<PAGE> 8
material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.

The  Corporation's impaired loans are generally measured on a loan by  loan
basis.   Interest  payments  received on impaired  loans  are  recorded  as
interest  income unless collection of the loan is doubtful, in  which  case
payments are recorded as a reduction of principal.

Premises and Equipment

Premises  and  equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation  of premises and equipment is computed using the straight-line
and  accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets,  as
follows:

</TABLE>
Repurchase Agreements

Certain  securities are sold under agreements to repurchase and are treated
as financings. The obligation to repurchase such securities is reflected as
a  liability  on  the consolidated balance sheets. The  dollar  amounts  of
securities  underlying the agreements are included in the respective  asset
accounts

Trust Fees and Assets

Revenues  from trust services are reported on the cash basis in  accordance
with  customary  banking practice. Reporting such revenues on  the  accrual
basis  would not materially affect the accompanying consolidated  financial
statements. Assets held in a fiduciary or agency capacity for customers and
beneficiaries are not included in the consolidated financial statements  as
such items are not assets of the Corporation.

Securities to be Held to Maturity and Securities Available for Sale

Effective January 1, 1994, the Corporation changed its method of accounting
for  securities to conform with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS)  No.  115  "Accounting for Certain Investments in  Debt  and  Equity
Securities."  Securities  to  be held to maturity  are  reported  at  cost,
adjusted  for premiums and discounts, and consist of securities  for  which
the  Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold  to  maturity.
Available  for  sale securities are reported at fair value and  consist  of
securities  not classified as securities to be held to maturity. Unrealized
holding gains and losses, net of tax, on available for sale securities  are
reported  as  a net amount in a separate component of stockholders'  equity
until realized.

Federal  Home  Loan Bank stock is not considered to be a marketable  equity
security under SFAS No. 115 and, therefore, is carried at cost.  The  stock
is included in securities available for sale.

Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recorded  primarily
on  the  interest  method.  Gains and losses on disposition  of  investment
securities  and securities available for sale are computed by the  specific
identification method.

Loans and Interest Income

Loans  are  stated at the principal balance outstanding,  net  of  unearned
interest.   Interest  on  loans  is  based  upon  the   principal   balance
outstanding, except interest on some consumer installment loans,  which  is
recognized  on  the  sum-of-the-years-digits method, and  does  not  differ
materially from the interest method.

                                 Page 8
<PAGE> 9
The  accrual  of  interest income is generally reviewed for  discontinuance
when  a  loan  becomes 90 days past due as to principal or  interest.  When
interest   is  discontinued,  all  unpaid  accrued  interest  is  reversed.
Management may elect to continue the accrual of interest when the estimated
net  realizable  value of collateral is sufficient to cover  the  principal
balance  and  accrued interest or, in the opinion of management,  when  the
interest is collectible.

Income Taxes

The  provision for income taxes in the interim periods has been  calculated
using  the anticipated effective tax rate for the respective calendar year,
taking into consideration certain tax-exempt loan and investment income.


Per Common Share Data

Net  income per common share data for the three months ended June 30,  1997
and  1996  is  based on 7,862,267 average shares outstanding and  7,879,471
average shares outstanding, respectively.  Net income per common share  for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 is based upon 7,862,904 average
shares  outstanding and 7,892,530 average shares outstanding, respectively.
Common  stock options are not included in net income per common share  data
since their effect is not material.

Reclassifications

Certain  reclassifications have been made in the 1996 financial  statements
to conform to the presentation of the 1997 financial statements.


Uses of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The  preparation  of  financial  statements in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting principles requires management to make  estimates  and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities  and
disclosure  of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at  the  date  of  the
financial  statements  and the reported amounts of  revenues  and  expenses
during  the  reporting  period.  Actual results  could  differ  from  those
estimates.

ITEM  2.  Management's  Discussion and Analysis of  Consolidated  Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

CBT  Corporation ("CBT") is a multi-bank holding company consisting of four
state  chartered commercial banks, one federal savings bank, and a consumer
finance  company.  The  banks'  19  locations  provide  financial  services
primarily  in western Kentucky, while the finance company has 27  locations
throughout  the  Commonwealth.  The following discussion  and  analysis  is
presented  on  a  consolidated  basis, with  all  significant  intercompany
accounts and transactions eliminated.

For  the  three  month  period ended June 30, 1997, CBT  earned  $3,202,000
virtually  identical to the $3,198,000 earned during the second quarter  of
1996.  Earnings per share was $.41 for both periods.

Return on average equity was 11.23 percent and 12.00 percent for the second
quarter  of 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Return on average assets for  the
three month period ended June 30, 1997 was 1.31 percent, compared with 1.41
percent for the same 1996 period.

For the first six months of 1997, CBT earned $6,333,000 an increase of 3.32
percent from the first six months of 1996 which was $6,130,000.  Net income
per  share was $0.81 for the six month period ended June 30, 1997  compared
with $0.78 for the comparable period in 1996.

Return on average equity was 11.29 percent and 11.61 percent for the  first
six  months  of 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Return on average assets  for
the  six  month period ended June 30, 1997 was 1.32 percent, compared  with
1.36 percent for the similar 1996 period.


Consolidated Income Statement Analysis

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on assets and
interest incurred on liabilities.  It is affected by changes in the mix and
volume  of  earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, their  related
yields,  and  overall interest rates.  For discussion purposes herein,  net
interest  income  is presented on a tax-equivalent basis  with  adjustments
made  to  present yields on tax-exempt assets as if such income  was  fully
taxable.

In  the second quarter of 1997, tax equivalent net interest income provided
82.20  percent  of CBT's net revenue, compared with 83.50  percent  in  the
second  quarter of 1996.  The change was a result of higher fee  income  in
1997  rather than a reduction in net interest income.  Total tax-equivalent
net  interest income for the second quarter of 1997 increased 2.00  percent
from  the second quarter a year ago.  Growth in tax-equivalent net interest
income  for  the  second quarter of 1997 over 1996 was  due  to  growth  in
earning  assets of 7.7 percent partially offset by a 24 basis point decline
in net interest margin.

Net  interest  margin,  the  ratio of tax-equivalent  net  interest  income
divided  by  average earning assets, was 4.81 percent and 5.01 percent  for
the  six  months ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996, respectively.   The
following schedule presents yields and costs on key components of  interest
income and interest expense for the first quarter of 1997 and 1996.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses reflects management's judgment of the current
period  cost associated with maintaining adequate reserves for  the  credit
risk inherent in CBT's loan portfolio.  The consolidated provision for loan
losses  was  $1,017,000  for the second quarter of 1997,  a  109.7  percent
increase  from  the  $485,000 provision recorded in the second  quarter  of
1996.   The  second quarter provision for loan losses was  0.6  percent  of
average  loans  on an annualized basis, compared with 0.3  percent  in  the
prior year.  Provision expense was substantially increased in 1997 in light
of  a  significant  increase in loan charge-offs during  1996,  principally
related  to  one commercial account and increased installment loan  charge-
offs experienced in 1996 and 1997.

Net  loan  losses were $375,000 for the second quarter of 1997 compared  to
$477,000  for the second quarter of 1996. Net loan losses as a  percent  of
average loans on an annualized basis were .22 percent for the three  months
ended  June  30, 1997, compared to 0.28 percent for the three months  ended
June  30, 1996.  Net loan losses were $813,000 and $2,063,000 for  the  six
months  ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Net loan losses  as  a
percent of average loans on an annualized basis were 0.24 percent and  0.65
percent   for  the  six  month  period  ended  June  30,  1997  and   1996,
respectively.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest  income  represented  10.28 percent  of  CBT's  tax-equivalent
revenue  in the second quarter of 1997, compared with 9.81 percent  in  the
second  quarter  of 1996.  Consolidated non-interest income increased  13.4
percent or $285,000 in the second quarter of 1997 to $2,406,000 compared to
$2,121,000 in the same period of 1996. Improvements in insurance commisions
(4.8 percent) and car club revenue by  FCC (16.2 percent)  offset a decline 
in  service  charges  on  deposit  accounts.    Official  check  commisions 
increased 753% over the  second quarter  of  1997  through  the outsourcing
of  official  check  processing  which  was  implemented late in the second
quarter of 1996. Non-interest income was further enhanced during the second
quarter  of  1997  by  sales  of  finance  receivables  by  FCC  and  sales
of  securities  by  Citizens.   Other non-interest  income  increased  4.59
percent over the second quarter of 1996.

Non-interest  income  represented  11.84 percent  of  CBT's  tax-equivalent
revenue in the first six months of 1997, compared with 9.53 percent in  the
first  six  months of 1996 as management continues to emphasize fee  income
opportunities.  Consolidated non-interest income increased 19.2 percent  or
$786,000  in the first six months of 1997 to $4,877,000, compared with  the
same period in 1996.  Non-interest income was enhanced during the first six
months  of  1997  by sales of securities by Citizens and sales  of  finance
receivables  by FCC.   CBT's alliance with J.C. Bradford & Co.  ("JCB"),  a
Nashville-based regional brokerage firm and the resultant fees generated by
this  alliance resulted in a 16.00 percent increase in investment  advisory
services.   Service  charges  on deposit accounts  grew  1.2  percent  from
$1,630,000 in the first six months of 1996 to $1,650,000 in the  first  six
months of 1997, primarily as a result of increased return check charges and
commercial  analysis  fees.   Consumer loan  growth  pushed  credit-related
insurance fees up 10.6 percent from $641,000 to $709,000.  Car club revenue
increased  $59,000 or 27.83 percent as FCC focused more  sales  efforts  on
this  product.  The  $211,000  (224 percent)  increase  in  official  check
commissions  shows  the  impact of a full six  months  of  outsourcing  the
processing  of official checks.   All other fee income increased  a  modest
2.91 percent to $494,000 from $480,000.

Non-Interest Expenses

Total  non-interest expense grew $72,000, or 1.00 percent, for  the  second
quarter  of  1997  compared to the second quarter of  1996.   Salaries  and
benefits  increased $63,000 (1.60 percent) as a result of  merit  increases
and  the  filling  of  open positions. Depreciation and  amortization  grew
$29,000  (5.20 percent)  because  of  the  acquisition  of fixed assets and
deposits  of  a  branch  of  the  Fifth Third Bank of Kentucky, Inc. (Fifth
Third) by  GCB in  May, 1997  and   the  resultant  write-off  of  premiums 
associated  with  the  acquired  deposits  and depreciation of the acquired 
building.   Data  processing costs  increased $48,000 or 12.94 percent  due  
to CBT's increased utilization of services offered by its service provider.
FDIC costs declined as assessment rates fell during 1997. Recruitment costs
decreased $49,000 as positions were filled without the expense of executive
search firms.  Miscellaneous  charge-offs decreased $90,000  as a result of
implementing  tighter  procedures  for  reconcilements.   Special  services 
increased $51,000 with the expiration of a real estate option.

For  the  six month period ended June 30, 1997, total non-interest  expense
fell $61,000, or 0.4 percent compared to the first six months of 1996 as  a
result  of  management's  continued  emphasis  on  reducing  administrative
expenses.   Data  processing  was  up  $75,000  (8.7  percent)  because  of
increased  volumes  and  additional services provided  in  1997.   Supplies
decreased  $93,000 through cost savings from centralized  purchasing.   The
decrease  in  FDIC fees was a result of reductions in the assessment  rate.
Advertising  decreased $89,000 or 15.48 percent, audit fees by  $91,000  or
30.64%  and miscellaneous charge-offs by 90,000 or 18.82%.  All other  non-
interest  expenses  increased  $143,000  (14.33  percent)  primarily   from
increases  in  collection  expenses incurred  to  repossess  and  refurbish
automobiles and mobile homes.

The  efficiency  ratio,  defined as non-interest expense  divided  by  tax-
equivalent  revenue,  is a measure of how effective  a  financial  services
company  is in leveraging its resources to produce revenue.  A lower  ratio
indicates better performance.  CBT's efficiency ratio was 56.57 percent for
the second quarter of 1997 compared to 58.76 percent for the same period in
1996.   For the six months ending June 30, 1997 and 1996 respectively,  the
efficiency ratio was 56.66 percent and 59.76 percent.

Income Taxes

CBT's  income tax planning is based upon the goal of maximizing  long-term,
after-tax  profitability.  Income tax expense is significantly affected  by
the mix of taxable versus tax-exempt revenues.

The  effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996  was  29.20  percent and 28.90 percent, respectively.   The  effective
income  tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 was  29.30
percent  and 28.90 percent, respectively.  The increase is attributable  to
the decline of tax-exempt revenue as a percent of total revenue.


Consolidated Balance Sheet Analysis


Earning Assets

At  June 30, 1997, earning assets were $929.5 million, compared with $863.1
million at June 30, 1996.  This increase is due to a $45.7 million increase
in  loans and a $21.7 million increase in securities.  Total earning assets
at  June  30,  1997  consisted of 74.87 percent  loans  and  25.13  percent
securities,  while the June 30, 1996 earning asset mix consisted  of  75.33
percent loans and 24.55 percent securities.  Average earning assets for the
first  six  months of 1997 were $913.4 million, an increase of 6.9  percent
over the first six months of 1996.

Investment Risk Management

CBT  has  certain securities in its available for sale portfolio  that  are
classified  as derivative securities by banking regulators.   At  June  30,
1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively, CBT had $1,000,000 and $1,003,000
in  derivative  securities.  These amounts represent 0.6  percent  and  0.7
percent  of  the total securities available for sale at June 30,  1997  and
December 31, 1996, respectively.  All are guaranteed by government agencies
and  none have a maturity of over 2 years.  The amount and nature of  these
securities pose no undue risk to CBT's financial position and there are  no
plans to acquire additional derivative securities.

The  Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments  in  Debt
and  Equity  Securities," which was adopted by CBT in the third quarter  of
1994.   The  Statement  requires that investment securities  classified  as
available  for  sale  be reported at fair value with unrealized  gains  and
losses  reported,  net  of  deferred taxes,  as  a  separate  component  of
shareholders'  equity.  As of June 30, 1997, net unrealized losses  related
to  investment securities available for sale were $99,000, net of  deferred
taxes.   At June 30, 1996, the fair value of securities available for  sale
reflected unrealized losses of $2,080,000, net of deferred taxes.


Credit Risk Management

CBT  manages  exposure to credit risk though loan portfolio diversification
by  customer,  industry, and loan type.  As a result,  there  is  no  undue
concentration  in  any  single  sector.  CBT  annually  evaluates  economic
conditions  affecting  its lending markets.  Economic  indicators  such  as
unemployment  levels,  construction activity, and  bankruptcy  filings  are
evaluated.   During the second quarter of 1997, CBT's primary market  areas
continued  to  experience favorable unemployment  levels  and  stable  real
estate  values  and commercial development.  Bankruptcy  filings  in  CBT's
markets  have  continued to increase during 1997, however.  Management  has
considered  expected  economic  trends in assessing  the  adequacy  of  the
allowance  for loan losses and believes that the allowance for loan  losses
is  adequate  in light of these trends, among other factors.  CBT's  credit
risk  is also diversified by loan type.  At June 30, 1997, 40.7 percent  of
the  portfolio consisted of residential real estate and mobile home  loans,
30.4 percent of commercial loans and 28.9 percent of consumer loans.

Credit risk management also includes monitoring the performance of existing
portfolios.   CBT  has  in  place a comprehensive  internal  credit  review
program to assess the current financial condition and operating performance
of significant commercial borrowers.

Loans by type appear below:

CBT  continues  to  classify its loans consistent with  current  regulatory
review results.  There are no material commitments to lend additional funds
to customers whose loans were classified as non-accrual at June 30, 1997.


Allowance for Loan Losses

At  June 30, 1997, the allowance for loan losses was $9.3 million, or  1.34
percent  of  net  loans outstanding, compared with $8.2  million,  or  1.20
percent  at December 31, 1996.  The ratio of the allowance for loan  losses
to  non-performing assets was 147.7 percent at June 30, 1997, compared with
111.9 percent at December 31, 1996.  Non-performing assets consist of  non-
accrual  loans, loans past-due ninety days or more that are still  accruing
interest and other real estate owned.

Although it is impossible for any lender to predict future loan losses with
complete  accuracy, management monitors the allowance for loan losses  with
the  intent  to  provide for all losses that can reasonably be  anticipated
based on current conditions.  CBT has a comprehensive credit grading system
and  other  internal  loan monitoring systems to support  this  assessment.
Such systems fully comply with the loan review guidelines set forth in  the
December  21, 1993 Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance  for  Loan
and  Lease  Losses.   CBT management maintains the allowance  available  to
cover future loan losses within the entire loan portfolio and believes  the
allowance for loan losses is adequate at June 30, 1997 based on the current
level  of  non-performing assets and the expected level of  future  charge-
offs.


Non-Performing Assets

The  table  below  presents  data  on  CBT's  non-performing  assets.    As
previously  defined,  non-performing assets consist of  non-accrual  loans,
loans  past  due ninety days or more that are still accruing  interest  and
other  real estate owned.  At June 30, 1997, non-performing assets  totaled
$6.3  million,  or 0.91 percent of net loans and other real  estate  owned,
compared  with  $7.4 million, or 1.07 percent of net loans and  other  real
estate owned, at December 31, 1996.

In  1993,  the  Financial Accounting Standards Board  issued  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 114,  "Accounting  by  Creditors  for
Impairment of a Loan", (FAS 114).  It was subsequently amended in 1994 with
the  issue of FAS 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of  a  Loan-
Income  Recognition  and Disclosure".  FAS 114, as amended,  requires  that
impaired  loans  be measured based on the present value of expected  future
cash  flow  discounted at the loan's effective rate, at the  loan's  market
price,  or  the  fair  value of the collateral is the  loan  is  collateral
dependent.  CBT adopted FAS 114 in 1995.  The adoption of FAS 114  did  not
have a material effect on CBT's consolidated financial statements.

Funding Sources

Non-Interest Bearing Deposits

Non-interest  bearing  deposits, which represent a portion  of  CBT's  core
deposits, were $72.2 million at June 30, 1997, a $6.3 million decline  from
December  31,  1996.   Average  non-interest bearing  deposits  were  $68.7
million  for  the first six months of 1997 compared with $64.4 million  for
first  six  months of 1996.  Non-interest bearing deposits represented  8.3
percent of CBT's total funding sources at June 30, 1997, compared with  9.4
percent at December 31, 1996.


Interest-Bearing Liabilities

Interest-bearing  liabilities for CBT consist  of  certain  core  deposits,
purchased deposits, short-term and long-term borrowings.  At June 30, 1997,
interest-bearing liabilities totaled $793.9 million, an increase  of  $33.7
million  over December 31, 1996.  The increase is due primarily to a  $28.4
million increase in interest-bearing deposits, an $11.9 million increase in
Federal  funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
and  a $7.4 million decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank advances. During May
1997  $30.5 million in interest-bearing deposits were added by GCB  through
the acquisition of the Fifth Third branch of Mayfield, Kentucky.

Interest-bearing Core Deposits - In CBT's banking subsidiaries, NOW,  Money
Manager,  Individual Retirement and savings accounts, and  certificates  of
deposit  under $100,000 are considered core interest-bearing deposits.   At
June  30,  1997 these deposits accounted for  66.0 percent of  CBT's  total
funding sources compared with 63.9 percent at December 31, 1996.

Purchased  Deposits - Purchased deposits, which CBT defines as certificates
of deposit with denominations of $100,000 or more and brokered certificates
of  deposit,  decreased $7.0 million or 7.30 percent to $88.6 million  from
$95.6  million at December 31, 1996.  Purchased deposits represented  10.23
percent  of  CBT's  total funding sources at June 30, 1997,  compared  with
11.39  percent  at  December 31, 1996.  At June 30, 1997,  CBT  held  $11.6
million of brokered certificates of deposit.

Borrowings  -  Borrowings include Federal funds purchased, securities  sold
under  agreements  to  repurchase, U.S. Treasury notes  payable,  revolving
lines  of  credit,  and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.  Management  views
borrowings  as  a  cost-effective alternative  to  purchased  deposits  and
interest-bearing  core  deposits  and  actively  manages  CBT's   borrowing
position  to  maintain acceptable net interest margins and  liquidity.   At
June 30, 1997, borrowings accounted for 15.5 percent of CBT's total funding
sources, compared with 15.3 percent at December 31, 1996.  The increase was
in  Federal  funds  purchased  and  securities  sold  under  agreements  to
repurchase.


Asset and Liability Management

Financial  institutions  manage  the  inherently  different  maturity   and
repricing characteristics of earning assets and interest-bearing funding to
achieve  a  desired interest rate sensitivity position and to  limit  their
exposure  to  interest  rate risk.  The goal of  the  asset  and  liability
management  process  is to manage the structure of  the  balance  sheet  to
provide  the  optimal  level  of  net  interest  income  while  maintaining
acceptable  levels of interest rate risk (as defined below) and  liquidity.
The  focal  point  of  this process is the Asset and  Liability  Management
Committee  (ALCO)  of CBT, an executive-level management  committee.   ALCO
meets  monthly  to  consider  CBT's consolidated  interest  rate  risk  and
liquidity  posture.  The committee takes an active role in maintaining  and
hedging  CBT's  profitability under a variety of interest  rate  scenarios.
The  actual  management of interest rate risk is governed by an  asset  and
liability management policy.

                                   Page 19
<PAGE> 20  

Interest Rate Risk and Its Measurement

Interest  rate risk is the risk that future changes in interest rates  will
reduce  net interest income or the market value of a financial institution.
Management  uses various measurement tools to monitor CBT's  interest  rate
risk  position.   One measurement tool is the GAP report, which  classifies
assets  and liabilities and their respective yields and costs in  terms  of
maturity  or repricing dates.  While considerable judgment is necessary  to
appropriately classify certain balance sheet items that have no contractual
maturity  or  repricing dates, the GAP report provides management  a  basic
measure  of  interest  rate risk.  CBT monitors the GAP  position  of  each
subsidiary individually (FCC is included with Citizens), as well  as  on  a
consolidated  basis.   The asset and liability management  policy  at  each
subsidiary specifies targets based primarily on the one year cumulative GAP
position  in conjunction with a market volatility risk analysis.   At  June
30, 1997 the one year cumulative interest rate GAP, defined as the ratio of
rate  sensitive  assets to rate sensitive liabilities, was  .85,  while  at
December 31, 1996, the one year cumulative interest rate GAP was .99.   The
change  was  primarily the result of an investment strategy implemented  in
anticipation  of  a branch deposit acquisition scheduled to  close  in  May
1997.  Exclusive of that, the GAP is within corporate guidelines.  A GAP of
less  than  one  indicates  that,  over the  time  horizon  measured,  more
liabilities will reprice than assets.

GAP  as an interest rate risk measurement tool has several limitations:  it
is  a  static  measurement; it requires the establishment of an  subjective
time  horizon; and it does not capture basis risk or risk that varies  non-
proportionally  with  rate  movements.  Because of  such  limitations,  CBT
supplements its use of GAP with a computer model to estimate the impact  of
various  parallel shifts in the yield curve on net interest income and  the
fair  value  of  equity under a variety of interest rate scenarios.   CBT's
management   believes  the  two  approaches  compliment   each   other   in
understanding  the  impact of changes in interest rates  on  the  financial
performance  and condition of CBT.  Based on modeling using June  30,  1997
data,  CBT would expect its net interest income to change no more than  2.0
percent  under  a 200 basis point parallel shift up or down  of  the  yield
curve.


Liquidity Management

Liquidity  management  involves  planning  to  meet  funding  needs  at   a
reasonable  cost,  as  well  as  developing  contingency  plans   to   meet
unanticipated  funding  needs  or a loss  of  funding  sources.   Liquidity
management  for  CBT  is monitored by ALCO, which takes  into  account  the
marketability  of  assets, the sources and stability of  funding,  and  the
level of unfunded loan commitments.

CBT's  consumer deposits provide a certain level of stability with  respect
to  liquidity.  In addition, membership in the Federal Home  Loan  Bank  of
Cincinnati provides a cost-effective alternate source of funding,  as  does
access  to  brokered  certificates of deposit.  CBT's  available  for  sale
investment portfolio also provides an additional source of liquidity.


Capital Management

CBT  management  believes  that  a strong  capital  position  is  vital  to
continued  profitability  and promotes depositor and  investor  confidence.
CBT bank subsidiaries are required to maintain capital levels sufficient to
qualify  for "well capitalized" status with banking regulators and to  meet
anticipated growth needs.  Net income and capital infusions from the parent
are  the  primary sources of new capital for subsidiaries.  Net  income  of
subsidiaries in excess of capital requirements is available to CBT  in  the
form  of dividends and is used primarily to pay corporate dividends and  to
infuse other subsidiaries with capital, as required.

Because  of solid performance and conservative capital management, CBT  has
consistently  maintained a strong capital position.  These  ratios  compare
favorably with industry standards and CBT's peers.

The Corporation occasionally repurchases and retires  common stock.  During
the  first  six months of 1997, all repurchases have been done in non-block
sizes (less than 5,000 shares) and are accomplished to  meet internal needs
(e.g. 401(k), stock options). For the six month period ended June 30, 1997,
5,000 shares had  been repurchased at an aggregate price of $118,000.

For  the  six month period ended June 30, 1997, CBT's shareholders' equity,
exclusive of the unrealized loss on securities available for sale  (net  of
deferred  tax)  and stock  repurchases, grew $4.2 million.  CBT's  internal
capital  growth rate (ICGR) for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was  3.8
percent.  The ICGR represents the rate at which CBT's shareholders'  equity
grew as a result of earnings retained (net income less dividends paid).

CBT  declared  a  $0.13 per share dividend in the second quarter  of  1997,
