NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Estimates
used in the preparation of the financial statements are based on various
factors including the current interest rate environment and the general
strength of the local economy.  Changes in the overall interest rate
environment can significantly affect the Company's net interest income and
the value of its recorded assets and liabilities.  Actual results could

5.	 Stock Compensation

The Company grants certain officers and key employees stock option awards
which vest and become fully exercisable at the end of five years.  The
Company also grants certain directors stock option awards which vest and
become fully exercisable immediately.  The exercise price of each option,
which has a ten year life, was equal to the market price of the Company's
stock on the date of grant; therefore, no compensation expense was
recognized.

Employee compensation expense under stock options is reported using the
intrinsic value method.  No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in
net income, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater
than the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant.  The
following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share
if expense was measured using the fair value recognition provisions of FASB
Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This discussion contains forward-looking statements under the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties.
Words such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans,"
"targeted," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.
Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the
assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that
the forward-looking statements included herein will prove to be accurate.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results discussed
in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: economic
conditions (both generally and more specifically in the markets, including the
tobacco market, in which the Company and its bank operate); competition for
the Company's customers from other providers of financial and mortgage
services; government legislation and regulation (which changes from time to
time and over which the Company has no control); changes in interest rates
(both generally and more specifically mortgage interest rates); material
unforeseen changes in the liquidity, results of operations, or financial
condition of the Company's customers; and other risks detailed in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which
are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the
Company.  The Company undertakes no obligation to republish revised
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Summary

Kentucky Bancshares, Inc. recorded net income of $1.3 million, or $0.50 basic
and $0.49 diluted earnings per share for the first three months ended March
31, 2005 compared to $1.1 million, or $0.41 basic earnings per share and $0.41
diluted earnings per share for the three month period ending March 31, 2004.
The first three months earnings reflects an increase of 15.9% compared to the
same time period in 2004.

Return on average assets was 1.02% for the three months ended March 31, 2005
and 0.89% for the three month period ended March 31, 2004.  Return on average
equity was 11.8% for the three month period ended March 31, 2005 and 9.6% for
the same period in 2004.

Loans increased $1.2 million from $358.3 million on December 31, 2004 to
$359.5 million on March 31, 2005.  Increases in real estate construction and
agricultural loans were offset by a decrease in real estate mortgage and
consumer loans.  Management attributes the slower growth in loans primarily to
increasing rates.

Total deposits decreased from $388.0 million on December 31, 2004 to $372.9
million on March 31, 2005, a decrease of $15.1 million, primarily the result
of general competition for deposits.  The decrease is mainly attributable to a
decrease in non-interest bearing deposits of $4.1 million, time deposits
($100,000 and over) of $5.3 million, and other interest bearing deposits of
$5.7 million.



Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005
compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, an
increase of 3.7%.  The interest spread was 3.41% for the first three months of
2005 compared to 3.37% for the same period in 2004, an increase of 4 basis
points.  Generally, the increasing interest rate environment has contributed
to improved net interest margins in the first three months of 2005 compared to
2004.

For the first three months, the yield on assets increased from 5.25% in 2004
to 5.54% in 2005.  The cost of liabilities increased from 1.88% in 2004 to
2.13% in 2005.  Year to date average loans are up $46.9 million, or 15.0% from
March 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005.  Loan interest income has increased $702
thousand for the first three months of 2005 compared to the first three months
of 2004.  Year to date average deposits decreased from March 31, 2004 to March
31, 2005, down $6.0 million, or 1.6%.  Deposit interest expense has increased
$183 thousand for the first three months of 2005 compared to the same period
in 2004.

The declining rate environment in recent years resulted in tighter margins in
2003 and 2004.  The rising rate environment in the past year has contributed
to improved margins.  However, the banking industry continues to battle
competition for loan and deposit dollars, and this trend is expected to
continue, as well as downward pressure on margins.

During the first quarter of 2004, the Company determined that it was in its
best interest to purchase additional investment securities.  The Company
implemented leverage strategies amounting to $30 million.  Investments were
purchased and funded by repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank
advances.  These strategies have added $57 thousand to net income before taxes
for the first three months of 2005, and $108 thousand for the first three
months of 2004.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income decreased $8 thousand for the three months ended March 31,
2005 compared to the same period in 2004 to $1.6 million, due primarily to a
decrease in service charges.  A decrease of $38 thousand in service charges
from the first three months of 2004 to the comparable 2005 period is mainly
attributable to a decrease in checking overdraft charges of $37 thousand.

Gain on sale of mortgage loans decreased $5 thousand during the first three
months of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.  The volume of mortgage
loan originations and sales is inverse to rate changes.  The stabilizing of
long term interest rates, along with the significant decrease in refinancing
activity, has caused the income to be lower in 2005 than in 2004.



Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expenses decreased $5 thousand for the three month period
ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.

For the comparable three month periods, salaries and benefits increased $110
thousand, an increase of 5%.  Incentives represented $74 thousand and employee
benefits represented $37 thousand of the increase in salaries and employee
benefits expense during these comparable periods.  The reduction of part time
hours and the salary reduction of the current Chairman, who was the previous
President and CEO, helped keep base salaries in 2005 comparable to 2004.

Occupancy expenses decreased $19 thousand to $570 thousand for the first three
months of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.  The decrease in 2005 is
mainly attributable to a decrease in depreciation of $70 thousand compared to
2004, offset somewhat by an increase in repairs and maintenance on buildings
and equipment.

Amortization decreased for the first three months of 2005 compared to 2004 by
$61 thousand, mainly from the deposit premium from a previous acquisition
being fully amortized in 2004.

Other expenses decreased $59 thousand for the three months ended March 31,
2005 compared to the same time period in 2004.  The decrease is primarily from
the decrease in repossession expenses of $28 thousand and fraud losses of $24
thousand.

Income Taxes

The tax equivalent rate for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 22%
compared to 26% in 2004.  These rates are less than the statutory rate as a
result of the tax-free securities and loans held by the Company.  Recognizing
the remainder of the net operating loss carryforward from the Cynthiana
acquisition in 2003 also contributed to the lower rate in 2005.

Stock Repurchase Program

On October 25, 2000, the Company announced that its Board of Directors
approved a stock repurchase program.  The Company is authorized to purchase up
to 100,000 shares of its outstanding common stock.  On November 11, 2002, the
Board of Directors approved and authorized the Company's repurchase of an
additional 100,000 shares.  In August 2004, the Board of Directors approved
and the Company repurchased 122,302 shares from a third-party shareholder.
These shares were outside of the previously mentioned stock repurchase
programs.   Shares will be purchased from time to time in the open market
depending on market prices and other considerations.  Through March 31, 2005,
86,053 shares have been purchased, with the most recent share repurchase
having occurred on March 31, 2005.  The repurchase program has had a positive
effect on earnings per share calculations.



Liquidity and Funding

Liquidity risk is the possibility that the Company may not be able to meet its
cash requirements.  Management of liquidity risk includes maintenance of
adequate cash and sources of cash to fund operations and meeting the needs of
borrowers, depositors and creditors.  Excess liquidity has a negative impact
on earnings as a result of the lower yields on short-term assets.

Cash and cash equivalents were $8.8 million as of March 31, 2005 compared to
$15.5 million at December 31, 2004.  The decrease in cash and cash equivalents
is mainly attributable to a decrease in federal funds sold and the
correspondent bank balances as of the last day of the quarter.  In addition to
cash and cash equivalents, the securities portfolio provides an important
source of liquidity.  Total securities available for sale totaled $121.9
million at March 31, 2005.  The available for sale securities are available to
meet liquidity needs on a continuing basis.  The Company expects the
customers' deposits to be adequate to meet its funding demands.

Generally, the Company relies upon net cash inflows from financing activities,
supplemented by net cash inflows from operating activities, to provide cash
used in its investing activities.  As is typical of many financial
institutions, significant financing activities include deposit gathering, and
the use of short-term borrowings, such as federal funds purchased and
securities sold under repurchase agreements along with long-term debt.  The
Company's primary investing activities include purchasing investment
securities and loan originations.

To assist in funding the Company's continued growth and development of its
business, including the November 7, 2003 acquisition of Kentucky First
Bancorp, on August 28, 2003, Kentucky Bancshares Statutory Trust I, a trust
subsidiary of the Company, issued 7,000 shares of cumulative trust preferred
securities with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per security.  The proceeds
of the offering were loaned to the Company in exchange for subordinated
debentures with terms that are similar to the trust preferred securities;
these debentures are the sole asset of the trust subsidiary.  Distributions on
the securities are payable quarterly at a rate per annum equal to 7.06%
through September 17, 2008, and thereafter quarterly in arrears at the annual
rate (adjusted quarterly) equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 3.00%.  The Company
has guaranteed that the trust subsidiary will make the required distributions
to the holders of the trust preferred securities.  The trust preferred
securities, which mature September 17, 2033, are subject to mandatory
redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the subordinated debentures
at maturity or their earlier redemption at the liquidation preference.
Subject to regulatory approval, the subordinated debentures are redeemable
before the maturity date at the Company's option on or after September 17,
2008, at their principal amount plus accrued interest.  The subordinated
debentures are also redeemable in whole or in part, from time to time, upon
the occurrence of specific events defined in the debenture indenture.  The
Company undertook the issuance of these securities to enhance its regulatory
capital position as they are considered as Tier I capital under current
regulatory guidelines.

Management is aware of the challenge of funding sustained loan growth.
Therefore, in addition to deposits, other sources of funds, such as Federal
Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances, may be used.  The Company relies on FHLB
advances for both liquidity and asset/liability management purposes.  These
advances are used primarily to fund long-term fixed rate residential mortgage
loans.  As of March 31, 2005, we have sufficient collateral to borrow an
additional $44 million from the FHLB.  In addition, as of March 31, 2005, over
$53 million is available in overnight borrowing through various correspondent
banks.  In light of this, management believes there is sufficient liquidity to
meet all reasonable borrower, depositor and creditor needs in the present
economic environment.



Non-Performing Assets

As of March 31, 2005, the Company's non-performing loans totaled $1.9 million
or 0.51% of loans compared to $2.1 million or 0.58% of loans at December 31,
2004.  (See table below)  The changes in non-accrual loans and in accruing
loans past due 90 days or more are attributable to various smaller consumer
and real estate loans.  Real estate loans composed 83% of the non-performing
loans as of March 31, 2005 and 84% as of December 31, 2004.  Forgone interest
income on the non-accrual loans for both 2005 and 2004 is immaterial.

Provision for Loan Losses

The loan loss provision for the first three months was $250 thousand for 2005
and $255 thousand for 2004.  A decrease in nonperforming loans and the lower
level of net charge-offs have caused management to decrease the 2005 provision
in order to maintain an allowance for loan losses that is representative of
the risk of loss based on the quality of loans currently in the portfolio.
Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss
experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific
borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and
other factors.  Net charge-offs for the three month period ended March 31,
2005 were $86 thousand compared to $138 thousand for the same period in 2004.
Future levels of charge-offs will be determined by the particular facts and
circumstances surrounding individual loans.  Management believes the current
loan loss reserve is sufficient to meet probable incurred loan losses.

Item 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Asset/Liability management control is designed to ensure safety and soundness,
maintain liquidity and regulatory capital standards, and achieve acceptable
net interest income.  Management considers interest rate risk to be the most
significant market risk.  The Company's exposure to market risk is reviewed on
a regular basis by the Asset/Liability Committee.  Interest rate risk is the
potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes.  These
economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income
and/or a loss of current fair market values.  The objective is to measure the
effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the
inherent risk while at the same time maximize income.

Management realizes certain risks are inherent and that the goal is to
identify and minimize the risks.  The primary tool used by management is an
interest rate shock simulation model.  The Bank has no market risk sensitive
instruments held for trading purposes.

The following table depicts the change in net interest income resulting from
100 and 300 basis point changes in rates on the Company's interest earning
assets and interest bearing liabilities.  The projections are based on balance
sheet growth assumptions and repricing opportunities for new, maturing and
adjustable rate amounts.  As of March 31, 2005 the projected percentage
changes are within the Board approved limits, except for the "-100" and "-
300".  In the "- 300" scenario, most of the rates used in the model cannot
decline 300 basis points because of the current low level of rates.  The
Company is also slightly outside the Board approved limit in the "-100"
environment.  In these scenarios, the net interest income changes are outside
the Board approved limit for such net interest income changes, and are
monitored by and reported to the Board on a monthly basis.  In addition,
management has made some recent asset/liability decisions that would lessen
the impact of changing interest rates.  This period's volatility is comparable
to the same periods a year ago.  The projected net interest income report
summarizing the Company's interest rate sensitivity as of March 31, 2005 is as
follows:

These projected changes in net interest income as of March 31, 2005 are
slightly more when compared to the projected changes in net interest income as
of March 31, 2004.  Projections from March 31, 2005, year one reflected a
decline in net interest income of 4.1% with a 100 basis point decline compared
to the 2.6% decline in 2004.  The 300 basis point increase in rates reflected
a 10.6% increase in net interest income in 2005 compared to 7.8% in 2004.
