BOURBON BANCSHARES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. In Management's opinion, the financial information, which is 
unaudited, reflects all adjustments, (consisting solely of normal 
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the 
financial information as of and for the nine month and three month 
periods ended September 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997 in conformity 
with generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial 
statements should be read in conjunction with Bourbon Bancshares, 
Inc. (Company) Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive 
Income".  The requirements are disclosure related and its 
implementation will have no impact on the Company's financial 
condition or results of operations.  Prior period financial 
statements have been restated to meet this reporting format.
3. Recently, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
128, "Earnings Per Share", under which basic and diluted earnings per 
share are computed.  Prior amounts have been restated to be 
comparable.  Basic earnings per share is based on net income divided 
by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the 
period.  Diluted earnings per share shows the dilutive effect of 
additional common shares issuable under stock options.
4. Dividends per share paid for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 was 
$0.20 compared to $0.18 on September 30, 1997.  The third quarter 
dividends were the same amounts as were paid during the first and 
second quarters of the respective years.



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

Summary

Bourbon Bancshares, Inc. recorded net income of $2,739 thousand, or 
$1.96 per share and $1.91 per share assuming dilution for the first nine 
months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $2,573 thousand, or $1.84 
per share and $1.81 per share assuming dilution for September 30, 1997.  
The first nine months' reflects an increase in earnings of 7%.  The 
third quarter earnings of 1998 were $931 thousand, or $0.67 per share 
and $0.65 per share assuming dilution compared to $881 thousand, or 
$0.63 per share and $0.62 per share assuming dilution in 1997.  This 
represents a 6% increase in earnings.

Return on average assets was 1.27% for the first nine months ended 
September 30, 1998 compared to 1.25% for the same time period in 1997.  
Third quarter numbers were 1.28% and 1.26% for 1998 and 1997, 
respectively.  Return on average equity was 13.2% and 13.7% for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  Third quarter 
numbers were 13.2% in 1998 compared to 13.7% in 1997.  The return on 
assets was up 2% for the first nine months and up 2% for the third 
quarter.  The return on equity for the first nine months was down 4% and 
down 4% for the third quarter.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $8,497 thousand for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1998 compared to $7,902 thousand in 1997, resulting in an 
increase of $595 thousand or 7.5%.  For the third quarter, net interest 
income was $2,867 thousand in 1998 and $2,670 thousand in 1997, an 
increase of $197 thousand or 7.4%.  Loan volume continues to improve.  
Year to date average loans are up nearly $21 million, or nearly 13% from 
1997 to 1998 resulting in an improvement in interest income of $913 
thousand for the first nine months and $205 thousand for the quarter.  
Average deposits also increased from 1997 to 1998, up nearly $11 
million, or 5%.  The increased volume resulted in higher interest 
expense of $318 thousand for the first nine months and $8 thousand for 
the quarter.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income increased for the nine-month period ended September 
30 from $1,693 thousand in 1997 to $2,028 thousand in 1998.  The third 
quarter reflected an increase from $572 thousand in 1997 to $724 
thousand in 1998.  For the year, an increase of $201 thousand in service 
charges from 1997 to 1998 is mainly attributable to an improvement in 
overdraft charges of $141 thousand.  Service charges increased $71 
thousand for the third quarter with overdraft charges accounting for $42 
thousand.  Servicing income from loans sold is up $19 thousand from 
1997.  Securities gains were up $33 thousand for the first nine months 
and $13 thousand for the third quarter.  Trust income accounts for $39 
thousand of the $101 thousand increase in other income for the first 
nine months. 



Non-Interest Expense

The explanations for the increase of $282 thousand in non-interest 
expenses from $5,817 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 
1997 to $6,320 thousand for the same period in 1998 and the increase of 
$248 thousand for the third quarter of 1998 compared to 1997 follows.  
Salaries and benefits increased $217 thousand for the first nine months 
of 1998 compared to 1997, an increase of 6.9%.  The increase for the 
third quarter was $75 thousand.  In 1998, bonuses were earned by 
employees totaling $70 thousand compared to $54 thousand in 1997.  The 
increase in salaries of 6% is mainly attributable to salary increases 
and the adding of staffing in Georgetown for the new branch and Clark 
County for the opportunity existing with two banks in town changing 
ownership.

Occupancy expense increased $81 thousand for the first nine months of 
1998 compared to 1997 and $35 thousand for the third quarter.  
Depreciation was up $44 thousand for the year and $11 thousand for the 
third quarter.  Building maintenance was $16 thousand higher for the 
first nine months of 1998.  These changes are mainly attributable to the 
newly constructed Versailles location and the leased building no longer 
being needed, and the newly constructed Georgetown Branch.  

Other expenses for the first nine months of 1998 compared to 1997 
increased $205 thousand, from $1,890 thousand to $2,095 thousand.  Of 
this increase $138 thousand occurred during the third quarter.  
Telephone expenses are up $18 thousand for the year.  The Company has 
placed more emphasis on education and training during 1998 and these 
expenses are $34 thousand higher in 1998 than in 1997.  With the selling 
of mortgage loans, the amortization of mortgage servicing rights 
increased $39 thousand from 1997 to 1998.  During 1998 the legal and 
professional expenses are $23 thousand higher in 1998 as compared to 
1997.

Income Taxes

The tax equivalent rate for the nine months ended September 30 was 26% 
for 1998 and 25% for 1997.  The quarterly rates were 26% and 26% for 
1998 and 1997, respectively.  These rates being less than the statutory 
rate is a result of the tax-free securities and loans held by the 
Company.



Liquidity and Funding

The cash flow statements provide a useful analysis of liquidity.  This 
report reveals an increase of cash and cash equivalents for the first 
nine months of 1998 of $2,382 thousand and a decrease of $218 thousand 
for the same period in 1997.  The third quarter reflects an increase of 
cash and cash equivalents of $5,315 thousand in 1998 and a decrease of 
$736 in 1997.  In 1998, proceeds from the sale of loans were nearly $28 
million compared to nearly $15 million in 1997.  The third quarter 
reveals over $6 million from the sale of loans in 1998 compared to $7 
million in 1997.  Originations of loans held for sale were also greater 
in 1998, amounting to over $24 million compared to $15 million in 1997.  
The third quarter numbers were $6 million and $7 million for 1998 and 
1997, respectively.  The lower rates have created higher volume of loans 
originated and have allowed management to sale lower coupon loans.

During 1998, proceeds from security transactions have exceeded purchases 
by over $11 million compared to nearly $12 million in 1997.  Third 
quarter proceeds exceeded purchases by $0.2 million in 1998 and $4 
million in 1997.  Of this change, principal payments on securities have 
amounted to over $10 million in 1998 ($3 million in third quarter) and 
over $7 million for the same period in 1997 ($3 million in third 
quarter).  Management has made a concerted effort to improve loan demand 
over the past two years.  In 1998, net loans have increased $18 million 
compared to $21 million in 1997.

Deposits for 1998 have increased $10 million.  However, during 1997 
deposits increased over $4 million during the first nine months.  During 
1998, other borrowing has dropped $6 million however it increased $3 
million in 1997.  The above-mentioned activity in 1998 with deposits, 
loans and securities has allowed these borrowed funds to be paid down. 

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 September 30, 1998, the Company's non-performing assets totaled 
$931 thousand or 0.5% of loans compared to $679 thousand or 0.4% of 
loans in 1997.  (See table below)  Real estate loans composed 65% and 
68% of the non-performing loans as of September 30, 1998 and 1997, 
respectively.  Lost interest income on the non-accrual loans for both 
1998 and 1997 is immaterial.

Provision and Reserve for Possible Loan Losses

The 1998 nine-month provision for loan losses of $488 thousand is higher 
than the 1997 number of $343 thousand.  The third quarter provision was 
$163 thousand for 1998 and $131 thousand for 1997.  Loan growth has 
required management to increase the provision in order to maintain a 
reserve ratio that is adequate and indicative of the quality of loans 
currently in the portfolio.  The quality of the loans, in management's 
opinion, is still strong as is presented earlier in non-performing 
loans.   As depicted in the table below, the loan loss reserve to total 
loans was 1.31% on September 30, 1997 and 1.32% on September 30, 1998.  
Net charge-offs for the periods mentioned above have been relatively 
insignificant.  Management feels the current loan loss reserve is 
sufficient to meet future loan problems.

Year 2000

Management has completed its assessment phase for the Year 2000 and 
continues its renovation phase (replacing equipment and upgrading 
software) and testing phase as needed to be compliant.  Current 
estimates for this project are under $150 thousand, with the majority of

of the Year 2000 issues will not have a material effect on the Company's 
business, results of operation or financial condition.



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.  Tools used by management include the 
standard GAP report and an interest rate shock simulation report.  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 to 300 basis point changes in rates.  The projections are based 
on balance sheet growth assumptions and repricing opportunities for new, 
maturing and adjustable rate amounts.  In addition, the projected 
percentage changes from level rates are outlined below with the Board of 
Directors specified limits.  As of September 30, 1998 the projected 
percentage changes are within the Board limits and the Company's 
interest rate risk appears reasonable.  The projected net interest 
income report summarizing the Bank's interest rate sensitivity as of 
September 30, 1998 is as follows:

Management measures the Bank's interest rate risk by computing estimated 
changes in net interest income in the event of a range of assumed 
changes in market interest rates.  The Company's exposure to interest 
rates is reviewed on a monthly basis by senior management and quarterly 
with the Board of Directors.  Exposure to interest rate risk is measured 
with the use of interest rate sensitivity analysis to determine the 
change in net interest income in the event of hypothetical changes in 
interest rates, while interest rate sensitivity gap analysis is used to 
determine the repricing characteristics of the Bank's assets and 
liabilities.  If estimated changes to net interest income are not within 
the limits established by the Board, the Board may direct management to 
adjust the Bank's asset and liability mix to bring interest rate risk 
within Board approved limits.

In addition, the Bank uses interest rate sensitivity gap analysis to 
monitor the relationship between the maturity and repricing of its 
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, while 
maintaining an acceptable interest rate spread. Interest rate 
sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of 
interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time 
period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or 
repricing within that time period.  A gap is considered positive when 
the amount of interest-rate-sensitive assets exceeds the amount of 
interest-sensitive-liabilities, and is considered negative when the 
amount of interest-rate-sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of 
interest-rate-sensitive assets.  Generally, during a period of rising 
interest rates, a negative gap would adversely affect net interest 
income, while a positive gap would result in an increase in net interest 
income.  Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a 
negative gap would result in an increase in net interest income, while a 
positive gap would negatively affect net interest income.  The Bank's 
goal is to maintain a reasonable balance between exposure to interest 
rate fluctuations and earnings.

The interest rate sensitivity analysis as of September 30, 1998 shown 
below depicts amounts based on the earliest period in which they can 
normally be expected to reprice.  The chart reveals that assets and 
liabilities are fairly well matched for the early periods specified 
below.  The decay rates used for Demand deposits, NOW's, Savings and 
Money Market Savings are 5%, 30%, 20% and 30%, respectively.
