BUSINESS Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (the "Corporation") is a bank holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System pursuant to section 5 (a) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Corporation was incorporated August 12, 1980, under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky for the purpose of becoming a bank holding company. On July 1, 1981, pursuant to a Merger Agreement dated May 30, 1981, the merger of Pikeville National Bank and Trust Company ("PNB") as a subsidiary of the Corporation was consummated, whereby PNB became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation through an exchange of one share of common stock of PNB for two shares of common stock of the Corporation. Prior to the date the merger became effective, the Corporation conducted no active business operations. Since the merger, the business of the Corporation has been to act as a holding company for affiliate financial institutions. The Corporation currently owns all the capital stock of one commercial bank, one thrift and one trust company, serving small and mid-sized communities in eastern, central and south central Kentucky. The commercial bank is Community Trust Bank, NA, Pikeville. The Corporation's thrift is Community Trust Bank, FSB, Campbellsville. The trust company, Trust Company of Kentucky, NA, Lexington, purchased the trust operations of its subsidiary banks and has additional offices in Pikeville, Ashland, Middlesboro and Louisville, Kentucky. The trust subsidiary commenced business operations on January 1, 1994. At December 31, 1997, the Corporation had total consolidated assets of $1.9 billion and total consolidated deposits of $1.5 billion, making it one of the larger bank holding companies headquartered in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Effective January 1, 1997, the Corporation changed its name from Pikeville National Corporation to Community Trust Bancorp, Inc., changed the name of its lead bank from Pikeville National Bank and Trust Company to Community Trust Bank, National Association (the "Bank") and merged seven of its other commercial bank subsidiaries into the Bank. As a result of these transactions, the Bank has $1.6 billion in assets and forty-two offices in twelve Kentucky counties. The Corporation's thrift and trust subsidiaries, Community Trust Bank, FSB and Trust Company of Kentucky, NA, remain subsidiaries of the Corporation and will continue to operate as independent entities. The Corporation sold its subsidiary Commercial Bank, West Liberty, Kentucky ("West Liberty") on July 1, 1997 for $10.2 million creating a gain on sale of $3 million. West Liberty had $76 million in assets, constituting 4% of the Corporation's total consolidated assets. Consistent with the Corporation's strategic plan, the funds generated by the sale of West Liberty provided the Corporation with the opportunity to expand existing markets and enter into new markets through internal expansion and acquisitions. Through its subsidiaries, the Corporation engages in a wide range of commercial and personal banking activities, which include accepting time and demand deposits; making secured and unsecured loans to corporations, individuals and others; providing cash management services to corporate and individual customers; issuing letters of credit; renting safe deposit boxes and providing funds transfer services. The lending activities of the Corporation's subsidiaries include making commercial, construction, mortgage and personal loans. Also available are lease financing, lines of credit, revolving credits, term loans and other specialized loans including asset-based financing. Various corporate subsidiaries act as trustees of personal trusts, as executors of estates, as trustees for employee benefit trusts, as registrars, transfer agents and paying agents for bond and stock issues and as depositories for securities. COMPETITION The Corporation's subsidiaries face substantial competition for deposit, credit and trust relationships, as well as other sources of funding in the communities they serve. Competing providers include other national and state banks, thrifts and trust companies, insurance companies, mortgage banking operations, credit unions, finance companies, money market funds and other financial and non-financial companies which may offer products functionally equivalent to those offered by the Corporation's subsidiaries. Many of these providers offer services within and outside the market areas served by the Corporation's subsidiaries. The Corporation's subsidiaries strive to offer competitively priced products along with quality customer service to build banking relationships in the communities they serve. 3 Since July 1989, banking legislation in Kentucky places no limits on the number of banks or bank holding companies which a bank holding company may acquire. Interstate acquisitions are allowed where reciprocity exists between the laws of Kentucky and the home state of the acquiring bank holding company. Bank holding companies continue to be limited to control of less than 15% of deposits held by banks in the state (exclusive of inter-bank and foreign deposits). No material portion of the business of the Corporation is seasonal. The business of the Corporation is not dependent upon any one customer or a few customers, and the loss of any one or a few customers would not have a materially adverse effect on the Corporation. No operations in foreign countries are engaged in by the Corporation. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 1997, the Corporation and its subsidiaries had 795 full-time equivalent employees. Employees are provided with a variety of employee benefits. A retirement plan, employee stock ownership plan, group life, hospitalization, major medical insurance and an annual management incentive compensation plan are available to eligible personnel. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION The Corporation, as a registered bank holding company, is restricted to those activities permissible under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is subject to actions of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System thereunder. It is required to file an annual report with the Federal Reserve Board and is subject to an annual examination by the Board. The Bank is a national bank subsidiary subject to federal banking law and to regulation and periodic examinations by the Comptroller of the Currency under the National Bank Act and to the restrictions, including dividend restrictions, thereunder. The Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve System and is subject to certain restrictions imposed by and to examination and supervision under, the Federal Reserve Act. The Corporation's thrift subsidiary, Community Trust Bank, FSB, is regulated and examined by the Office of Thrift Supervision. The trust company subsidiary, Trust Company of Kentucky, NA, is regulated by the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Deposits of the Corporation's subsidiary banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Bank Insurance Fund, which subjects the banks to regulation and examination under the provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Insofar as the Corporation's thrift subsidiary is concerned, its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Savings Association Insurance Fund. The operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries also are affected by other banking legislation and policies and practices of various regulatory authorities. Such legislation and policies include statutory maximum rates on some loans, reserve requirements, domestic monetary and fiscal policy and limitations on the kinds of services which may be offered. 4 CAUTIONARY STATEMENT Information provided herein by the Corporation contains, and from time to time the Corporation may disseminate materials and make statements which may contain "forward-looking" information, as that term is defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act").

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The allowance for loan losses balance is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover anticipated losses that are based on past loss experience, general economic conditions, information about specific borrower situations including their financial position and collateral values, and other factors and estimates which are subject to change over time. 9 In 1997, gross interest income that would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans had the loans been current in accordance with their original terms amounted to $1.3 million. Interest income actually recorded and included in net income for the period was $0.3 million, leaving $1.0 million of interest income not recognized during the period. Discussion of the Nonaccrual Policy The accrual of interest income on loans is discontinued when the collection of interest and principal in full is not expected. When interest accruals are discontinued, interest income accrued in the current period is reversed. Any loans past due 90 days or more must be well secured and in the process of collection to continue accruing interest. Potential Problem Loans When management has serious doubts as to the ability of borrowers to comply with repayment terms, the loans are placed on nonaccrual status. Management, therefore, believes that no additional potential problem loans exist which would result in disclosure pursuant to Item III.C.2. Foreign Outstandings None Loan Concentrations The Corporation has no concentration of loans exceeding 10% of total loans which is not otherwise disclosed at December 31, 1997. Other Interest-Bearing Assets The Corporation has no other interest-bearing assets that would be required to be disclosed under Item III.C.1 or 2, if such assets were loans, other than $0.3 million held as other real estate owned, included above in foreclosed properties. 10 ANALYSIS OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (in thousands) 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Allowance for loan losses, beginning of year $ 18,825 $ 16,082 $ 12,978 $ 13,346 $ 13,736 Loans charged off: Commercial, secured by real estate 676 378 1,278 1,442 1,538 Commercial, other 1,042 1,136 1,646 3,902 2,140 Real Estate Mortgage 695 880 514 407 598 Consumer loans 9,840 4,594 2,594 1,786 1,606 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total charge-offs 12,253 6,988 6,032 7,537 5,882 Recoveries of loans previously charged off: Commercial, secured by real estate 116 174 159 12 147 Commercial, other 454 609 331 395 333 Real Estate Mortgage 94 312 44 66 58 Consumer loans 2,653 1,351 740 630 512 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total recoveries 3,317 2,446 1,274 1,103 1,050 Net charge-offs: Commercial, secured by real estate 560 204 1,119 1,430 1,391 Commercial, other 588 527 1,315 3,507 1,807 Real Estate Mortgage 601 568 470 341 540 Consumer loans 7,187 3,243 1,854 1,156 1,094 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total net charge-offs 8,936 4,542 4,758 6,434 4,832 Allowance of acquired banks 0 0 2,004 0 0 Allowance of sold bank (578) 0 0 0 0 Provisions charged against operations 11,154 7,285 5,858 6,066 4,442 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, end of year $ 20,465 $ 18,825 $ 16,082 $ 12,978 $ 13,346 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Allocation of allowance, end of year Commercial, secured by real estate $ 3,502 $ 3,304 $ 3,095 $ 3,649 $ 2,650 Commercial, other 2,945 2,870 2,300 2,349 1,921 Real Estate Construction 115 152 135 93 57 Real Estate Mortgage 546 790 1,044 905 1,659 Consumer 3,575 2,248 1,574 1,291 1,271 Equipment lease financing 21 46 71 108 91 Unallocated 9,761 9,414 7,863 4,583 5,697 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, end of year $ 20,465 $ 18,825 $ 16,082 $ 12,978 $ 13,346 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average loans outstanding, net of unearned interest $1,350,471 $1,215,243 $1,021,637 $ 872,045 $849,202 Loans outstanding at end of year, net of unearned interest $1,428,429 $1,309,623 $1,115,068 $ 906,454 $853,935 Net charge-offs to average loan type Commercial, secured by real estate 0.20% 0.08% 0.39% 0.60% 0.59% Commercial, other 0.23% 0.24% 0.66% 0.94% 0.96% Real Estate Mortgage 0.12% 0.12% 0.13% 0.13% 0.18% Consumer loans 2.22% 1.27% 1.02% 0.78% 0.62% Total 0.66% 0.37% 0.47% 0.74% 0.57% Other ratios Allowance to net loans, end of year 1.43% 1.44% 1.44% 1.43% 1.56% Provision for loan losses to average loans 0.83% 0.60% 0.57% 0.70% 0.82% Management uses an internal analysis to determine the adequacy of the loan loss reserve and charges to the provision for loan losses.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The Corporation reported net earnings of $19.1 million for the year ending December 31, 1997, compared to $18.8 million for 1996 and $10.8 million for 1995. Earnings for 1997 included an extraordinary gain (net of tax) of $3.1 million received from the settlement with a former software vendor. Earnings per share for 1997 were $1.90 compared to $1.87 per share for 1996 and $1.10 for 1995. Earnings for 1997 increased in the categories of net interest income and noninterest income, reflecting the Corporation's growth. Noninterest expense likewise increased from the previous year, fueled by expansion of new branches, advertising of the Corporation's new name, and a heavier investment in training for the Corporation's employees. The noninterest expense category which reflected the largest increase from the previous year was the provision for loan loss, increasing from $7.3 million in 1996 to $11.2 million in 1997. Most of this increase was related to the Corporation's funding of indirect consumer loans, which traditionally experience higher yields and higher charge-offs than other loan. The Corporation's return on average assets for 1997 was 1.05% as compared to 1.07% and 0.66% in 1996 and 1995, respectively, and the return on average equity for 1997 was 12.31% as compared to 13.53% and 8.27% for 1996 and 1995, respectively. Total assets as of December 31, 1997 were $1.85 billion, an increase of 0.7% as compared to total assets of $1.84 billion as of December 31, 1996. The Corporation's total assets were impacted by the sale in July of Commercial Bank, West Liberty, a wholly-owned subsidiary, which had approximately $76 million in assets. Total loans as of December 31, 1997 were $1.43 billion compared to $1.31 billion as of December 31, 1996, an increase of 9.2%. Total deposits decreased marginally from $1.48 billion at December 31, 1996 to $1.47 billion at December 31, 1997. In January 1997 shareholders were notified that they would receive a 10% stock dividend for shares held as of March 15, 1997. This stock dividend, was paid in addition to the quarterly cash dividend, in April. In June 1997 the Corporation successfully completed its first securitization of approximately $80 million of indirect auto loans. The Corporation retained the servicing rights on the sold loans, while using the proceeds of the sale to fund loan growth. ACQUISITIONS While no acquisitions were completed during the year, in December 1997 the Corporation announced its intention to enter the West Virginia market by acquiring seventeen branches from Bank One, West Virginia, NA and Bank One, Wheeling-Stubenville, NA, subsidiaries of Banc One Corporation ("Banc One"). Under the terms of the definitive agreement, the Corporation will purchase seventeen branches that currently have deposits totaling approximately $565 million. The purchase price will include a 9.7% premium on the deposits plus book value for other assets acquired, subject to adjustments as provided in the definitive agreement. Concurrent with this agreement, the Corporation entered into an agreement with Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc. of Georgetown, Kentucky to sell three of the seventeen branches being acquired from Banc One. The three branches being sold to Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc. have total deposits of approximately $153 million. During January 1998, the Corporation subsequently announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell seven additional branches of the seventeen it will acquire from Banc One. Five of these seven branches, having combined deposits of approximately $125 million, will be purchased by Peoples Banking and Trust Company, a subsidiary of Peoples Bancorp, Inc. of Marietta, Ohio. Two of the seven branches, having combined deposits of approximately $67 million, will be purchased by United National Bank, a subsidiary of United Bankshares, Inc. of Parkersburg, West Virginia. All of the above transactions are subject to regulatory approval. Upon completion of these transactions, the Corporation will be retaining seven of the original seventeen branches, totaling approximately $220 million in deposits. This acquisition will assist in the growth of the Corporation outside of Kentucky and provide a new customer base for generating additional revenues. 19 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 1997 Compared to 1996 Net income for 1997 was $19.1 million compared to $18.8 million for 1996. Basic earnings per share for 1997 were $1.90 compared to $1.87 per share for 1996. Earnings for 1997 include a $3.1 million, or $0.31 per share, extraordinary gain (net of tax), a result of a settlement with a former software vendor. Prior period earnings per share have been restated for the 10% stock dividend paid in April 1997 and have also been restated for the accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE. See footnote 21 for further explanation. Net interest income for 1997 increased 1.5% as compared to 1996, rising from $75.4 million in 1996 to $76.5 million in 1997. Noninterest income increased 27.7% from $14.4 million in 1996 to $18.4 million in 1997 while noninterest expense increased 8.4% from $55.2 million in 1996 to $59.9 million in 1997. (See separate discussions of noninterest income and noninterest expense below.) Return on average assets decreased from 1.07% in 1996 to 1.05% in 1997, including the extraordinary item, and return on average equity decreased from 13.53% in 1996 to 12.31% in 1997. Net Interest Income During the third quarter of 1997 the Corporation began recording certain loan fees as noninterest revenue which, until then, were classified as interest income. As a result, net interest income for 1997 ended marginally higher at $76.5 million, up 1.5% from 1996. The Corporation's net interest margin declined from 4.76% at the end of 1996 to 4.66% at the end of 1997, also a reflection of the change in classification of certain loan-related fee income. The Corporation's average earning assets increased from $1.63 billion in 1996 to $1.68 billion in 1997. Average interest bearing liabilities also increased during the period, from $1.42 billion in 1996 to $1.46 billion in 1997. Average interest bearing liabilities as a percentage of average earning assets remained fairly stable, moving from 87.1% in 1996 to 86.47% in 1997. The taxable equivalent yield on average interest earning assets increased from 8.99% in 1996 to 9.06% in 1997. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities likewise increased from 4.86% to 5.09% during the same period. The yield on interest bearing assets has been favorably impacted due to the Corporation's increase in consumer loans, which traditionally experience higher yields than other loans. Loans accounted for 77.1% of total assets as of December 31, 1997 compared to 71.2% as of December 31, 1996. Approximately $80 million of indirect automobile loans were sold in 1997, which affected the Corporation's ending loan balance for 1997. The servicing rights were retained on these sold loans, and the resulting cash generated from this loan sale was used for funding of new loans. The Corporation invested in several new branches during 1997, generating new loan and deposit growth. The interest costs associated with opening new branches is generally higher than normal, in order to gain market share. This factor, along with the traditional market pressures from competitors, increased the Corporation's cost of interest bearing liabilities from $71 million in 1996 to $74 million in 1997. Provision for loan losses The provision for loan losses increased from $7.3 million in 1996 to $11.2 million in 1997. The majority of this increase was directly related to the Corporation's investment in indirect consumer loans, which generally experience higher yields and higher charge-offs than other loans. In addition, the provision will increase during the normal course of business as the respective loan portfolio balance increases, in order to maintain the proper percentage of loan loss allowance to total loans. Charge-offs, net of recoveries, as a percentage of average loans outstanding increased from 0.37% in 1996 to 0.66% in 1997 as gross charge- offs and recoveries both increased for 1997 in line with the increase in average loans outstanding as compared to 1996. The allowance for loan losses increased significantly, rising from $18.8 million at December 31, 1996 to $20.5 million at December 31, 1997. 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. 20 Noninterest income Noninterest income increased 27.7% from $14.4 million in 1996 to $18.4 million in 1997. Service charges on deposit-related products generated $6.9 million for the year, an increase of $400 thousand over the previous year. Trust income increased from $1.6 million in 1996 to $1.8 million in 1997 as the trust assets under management increased during the year. Gains on sale of residential mortgage loans decreased from $1.7 million in 1996 to $1.1 million in 1997, due to a lower volume of loan sales. Other noninterest income increased from $3.2 million in 1996 to $6.9 million in 1997, largely due to the reclassification of loan-related fees from interest income, and also due to an operating gain of $3 million on the sale of the Corporation's subsidiary, Commercial Bank, West Liberty, which was completed in July 1997. Securities gains and losses were not a significant factor in either 1997 or 1996, as the Corporation incurred net securities gains of $47,000 in 1997 and $88,000 in 1996. Noninterest expense Noninterest expense increased from $55.2 million in 1996 to $59.9 million in 1997. Salaries and employee benefits increased marginally from $28.2 million in 1996 to $28.5 million in 1997. Occupancy expense likewise increased from $4.0 million in 1996 to $4.2 million in 1997 and equipment costs grew from $3.7 million in 1996 to $4.0 million in 1997. Data processing costs increased from $2.6 million in 1996 to $3.1 million in 1997 and stationery, printing and office supplies marginally increased from $1.7 million in 1996 to $1.8 million in 1997. Marketing and advertising increased from $2.1 million in 1996 to $2.9 million in 1997 while legal and professional fees increased from $2.6 million in 1996 to $3.2 million in 1997. Repossession expense increased from $0.1 million in 1996 to $0.7 million in 1997. Meetings and training increased to $0.7 million in 1997 from $0.3 million in 1996. Telephone expense increased from $1.2 million in 1996 to $1.4 million in 1997. 1996 Compared to 1995 Net income for 1996 was $18.8 million compared to $10.8 million for 1995. Basic earnings per share for 1996 was $1.87 per share compared to $1.10 for 1995. Net interest income grew from $66.0 million in 1995 to $75.4 million in 1996. The increase in net interest income was due to a higher level of average earning assets and rising interest rates during 1996. The yield on interest earning assets increased and the cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased during 1996 as compared to 1995. The taxable equivalent yield on average interest earning assets increased from 8.86% in 1995 to 8.99% in 1996. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities decreased from 4.93% to 4.86% during the same period. As a result of this the net interest margin increased from 4.54% in 1995 to 4.76% in 1996. Noninterest income increased 29.73% from $11.1 million in 1995 to $14.4 million in 1996. Service charges on deposit accounts, the largest component, increased from $5.2 million in 1995 to $6.3 million in 1996. During the same period, other noninterest income increased from $4.1 million to $4.7 million and trust income increased from $1.3 million to $1.6 million. Net gains from the sale of residential mortgage loans increased from $462 thousand in 1995 to $1.7 million in 1996, due to a larger volume of loans sold. Securities gains and losses were minimal in both periods, as the Corporation incurred net securities gains of $12 thousand in 1995 and $88 thousand in 1996. Noninterest expense decreased from $55.9 million in 1995 to $55.2 million in 1996. A cost containment program implemented during 1996 successfully reduced many noninterest expenses. Salaries and benefits increased from $24.6 million in 1995 to $28.2 million in 1996; occupancy expense increased from $3.9 million to $4.0 million; data processing decreased from $2.8 million to $2.6 million; stationery & printing costs decreased from $1.9 million to $1.7 million and other taxes increased from $2.0 million to $2.1 million. DISCLOSURES REGARDING YEAR 2000 Many companies have undertaken major projects to address "Year 2000" readiness, which relates to the recognition of dates beyond 1999. Many software programs and hardware systems are in a two digit format which will not process into the next century. The Corporation has already taken steps necessary to ensure that the Corporation will be "Year 2000 compliant". Those steps include the following: 21 - - Assessment of the significant issues throughout the organization and customer base, in order to be prepared for proper processing of information. - - Implementation of a Steering Committee and Project Team to oversee the successful attainment of Year 2000 compliance. - - Completion of an inventory of all hardware, software, systems, and facilities to identify products which must be replaced, retired, or renovated. - - Contacting all respective third party providers of computer-related services and have requested that they provide evidence to the Corporation by June 1998 of their intention to be Year 2000 compliant. - - Creation of a test environment to validate software, hardware, and systems as new releases become available. - - The Corporation's Board of Directors and Executive Management have committed to providing the appropriate resources and workforce necessary to ensure compliance with Year 2000. Management anticipates that all internal hardware upgrades or replacements will be completed by March 1999. The costs associated with hardware and software upgrades will be approximately $450,000 in 1998 and $1,400,000 in 1999. Management believes that these estimates are generous and that these costs are not material to the financial condition of the Corporation. The Corporation's most significant exposure will be relying upon third party vendors and processors and managing the relationship with their product or service as the Corporation tests their Year 2000 Ready products and services. The Corporation's primary third party data processor, one of the country's leading suppliers of financial institution data processing services, has already provided assurances that it will be Year 2000 compliant prior to mid-year 1999. As testing occurs throughout 1998, any vendors who cannot certify their intentions to be Year 2000 compliant will be abandoned and new vendors will be contacted. The Corporation anticipates completing Year 2000 issues by the middle of 1999. LIQUIDITY The Corporation's objectives are to ensure that funds are available at the subsidiary banks to meet deposit withdrawals and credit demands without unduly penalizing profitability, and to ensure that funding is available for the parent Corporation to meet the ongoing cash needs while maximizing profitability. The Corporation continues to identify ways to provide for liquidity on both a current and long-term basis. On a long- term basis, the market regions rely mainly on core deposits, certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more, repayment of principal and interest on loans and securities, as well as federal funds sold and purchased. The market regions also rely on the sale of securities under repurchase agreements, securities available-for-sale and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. Deposits decreased marginally from $1.48 billion at December 31, 1996 to $1.47 billion at December 31, 1997. The sale of Commercial Bank, West Liberty in July, 1997 reduced the Corporation's deposits by approximately $70 million. By adjusting for this sale, the Corporation's deposits increased by slightly over 4% from the previous year. Since loan demand outpaced deposit growth, the Corporation increased its borrowings of federal funds, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, and other short-term borrowings. The Corporation's largest subsidiary, Community Trust Bank, NA, also completed the securitization and sale of approximately $80 million of its auto loans during the second quarter of 1997 to provide additional funding. During April 1997 the Corporation raised $34.5 million of cash through the issuance of 9.0% Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities. These cash proceeds were applied to the Corporation's liquidity position to fund new loans, new branches, and for future acquisitions. These securities will mature in March, 2027. Due to the nature of the markets served by the banking regions, management believes that the majority of its certificates of deposit 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, the Corporation is able to borrow funds with several correspondent banks, to meet the Corporation's liquidity needs. The Corporation owns $166 million of securities designated as available-for-sale and valued at market which are 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. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased from $111.0 million at December 31, 1996 to $101.8 million at December 31, 1997. 22 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 the issuance of long-term debt. The Corporation has a $17.5 million credit line available beyond 1998, in the form of a revolving line of credit (see Note 9- Long-term Debt). The Corporation's primary investing activities include purchases of investment 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 the use of 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. The Corporation's static interest rate gap position as of December 31, 1997 is presented below: INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS December 31, 1997 0-3 3-12 Total Over (in thousands) Months Months 1 Year 1 Year Total - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest earning assets Securities and deposits $ 67,165 $ 58,686 $ 125,851 $ 156,484 $ 282,335 Loans 584,818 279,860 864,678 563,751 1,428,429 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total earning assets $ 651,983 $ 338,546 $ 990,529 $ 720,235 $1,710,764 Interest bearing liabilities NOW, money market and savings accounts $ 257,083 $ 128,173 $ 385,256 $ - $ 385,256 Time deposits 234,608 412,088 646,696 239,697 886,393 Federal funds purchased and other short- term borrowings 48,670 9,129 57,799 150 57,949 Advances from FHLB 78,816 2,518 81,334 20,493 101,827 Long-term debt 1,482 66 1,548 51,915 53,463 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest bearing liabilities $ 620,659 $ 551,974 $1,172,633 $ 312,255 $1,484,888 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest sensitivity gap For the period $ 31,324 $(213,428) $ (182,104) $ 407,980 $ 225,876 Cumulative 31,324 (182,104) (182,104) 225,876 225,876 Cumulative as a percent of earning assets 1.83% (10.64)% (10.64)% 13.20% 13.20% CAPITAL RESOURCES Total shareholders' equity increased from $144.8 million at December 31, 1996 to $158.0 million at December 31, 1997. The Corporation's primary source of capital is retained earnings. Cash dividends were $0.74 per share for 1997 and $0.66 per share for 1996. Regulatory guidelines require bank holding companies, commercial banks, and savings banks to maintain certain minimum ratios and define companies as "well capitalized" that sufficiently exceed the minimum ratios. The banking regulators may alter minimum capital requirements as a result of revising their internal policies and their ratings of individual institutions. To be "well capitalized" banks and bank holding companies must maintiain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of no less than 5.0%, a Tier 1 risk based ratio of no less than 6.0% and a total risk based ratio of no less than 23 10.0%. The Corporation's ratios as of December 31, 1997 were 7.75%, 9.97% and 11.23%, respectively. The Corporation and all of its banking affiliates met the criteria for "well capitalized" at December 31, 1997. As of December 31, 1997, management is not aware of any current recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have, or are 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 investments 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 sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against the effects of wide interest rate fluctuations. At December 31, 1997, the results of the Corporation's interest sensitivity analysis indicated that net interest income would be relatively unchanged by a 100 basis point increase or decrease in the federal funds rate (assuming the change occurs evenly over the next year and that corresponding changes in other market rates occur as forecasted). Net interest income would be expected to increase 3.0% if rates increased 200 basis points and would be expected to decrease 3.6% if rates declined 200 basis points. 24 ITEM 8.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The consolidated financial statements include Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (the "Corporation") and all its subsidiaries, including its principal subsidiary, Community Trust Bank, NA. Material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. In preparing financial statements, management must make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as affecting the disclosures provided. Future results could differ from the current estimates. NATURE OF OPERATIONS - Substantially all assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses are related to banking operations, including lending, investing of funds and obtaining of deposits and other financing. All of the Corporation's business offices and the majority of its business are located in eastern and central Kentucky. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one day periods. Cash flows are reported net for customer loan transactions, deposit transactions, and other short-term borrowings. SECURITIES - Management determines the classification of securities at purchase. The Corporation now classifies securities into held-to- maturity or 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 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 and losses included as a separate component of shareholders' equity, net of tax. If declines in fair value are not temporary, the carrying value of the securities is written down to fair value as a realized loss. Gains or losses on disposition of securities are computed by specific identification for all securities except for shares in mutual funds, which are computed by average cost. Interest and dividend income, adjusted by amortization of purchase premium or discount, is included in earnings. LOANS - Loans are reported at the carrying value of unpaid principal reduced by unearned interest and an allowance for loan losses. Income is recorded on the level yield basis. Interest accrual is discontinued when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Any loan greater than 90 days past due must be well secured and in the process of collection to continue accruing interest. Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recognized in a valuation allowance by charges to income. The provision for loan losses charged to operating expenses is an amount sufficient to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level to absorb future loan losses based on management's best estimate of loan losses, using such considerations as the current condition and volume of the loan portfolio, economic conditions within the service area, review of specific problem loans, and any other known factors influencing loan collectibility. For loss provisions and valuation allowances, the amount provided is management's estimate of probable losses. Impaired loans are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows of the loan using the loan rate or at the fair value of collateral. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT - Premises, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed primarily on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or the shorter of the estimated useful lives or terms of the related leases. Maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are expensed as incurred. OTHER REAL ESTATE - Real estate acquired by foreclosure is carried at the lower of the investment in the property or its fair value. An allowance for estimated losses on real estate is provided by a charge to operating expense when a subsequent decline in value occurs. Operating expenses of such properties, net of related income, and gains and losses on disposition are included in other expenses. PURCHASE ACCOUNTING - At date of purchase, net assets of subsidiaries acquired are recorded at fair value. Any excess of cost over net assets acquired (goodwill) is amortized by the straight-line method over fifteen to twenty-five years. Management reviews the earnings of the operations acquired for evidence of impairment of the unamortized amount. 29 INCOME TAXES - Income tax expense is based on the taxes due on the consolidated tax return plus deferred taxes based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates. EARNINGS PER SHARE - The Corporation adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, effective December 31, 1997. Statement 128 replaces the previous calculations of "primary" and "fully diluted" earnings per share (EPS) with "basic" and "diluted" EPS, respectively. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. The most significant change from the former method is that the effect of stock options is no longer included in the calculation of basic EPS. Diluted EPS still adjusts of number of weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding under the treasury stock method, which includes the dilutive effect of stock options. The most significant change is that the treasury stock method is now applied using the average market price for the period rather than the higher of the AVERAGE MARKET PRICE or the ending market price. The Corporation has restated all prior period EPS calculations to conform with Statement 128. (See Note 21 - Earnings Per Share.) RECLASSIFICATION - Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior financial statements to conform to current classifications. 2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS While no acquisitions were completed during the year, in December 1997 the Corporation announced its intention to enter the West Virginia market by acquiring seventeen branches from Bank One, West Virginia, NA and Bank One, Wheeling-Stubenville, NA, subsidiaries of Banc One Corporation ("Banc One"). Under the terms of the definitive agreement, the Corporation will purchase seventeen branches that currently have deposits totaling approximately $565 million. The purchase price will include a 9.7% premium on the deposits plus approximately $4.5 million for fixed assets, subject to adjustments as provided in the definitive agreement. Concurrently with this agreement, the Corporation entered into an agreement with Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc. of Georgetown, Kentucky to sell three of the seventeen branches being acquired from Banc One. The three branches being sold to Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc. have total deposits of approximately $153 million. During January 1998, the Corporation subsequently announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell seven additional branches of the seventeen it will acquire from Banc One. Five of these seven branches, having combined deposits of approximately $125 million, will be purchased by Peoples Banking and Trust Company, a subsidiary of Peoples Bancorp, Inc. of Marietta, Ohio. Two of the seven branches, having combined deposits of approximately $67 million, will be purchased by United National Bank, a subsidiary of United Bankshares, Inc. of Parkerburg, West Virginia. All of the above transactions are subject to regulatory approval. Upon completion of these transactions, the Corporation will be retaining seven of the original seventeen branches, totaling approximately $220 million in deposits. This acquisition will assist in growth of the Corporation outside of Kentucky and provide a new customer base for generating additional revenues. 3. CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS Included in cash and due from banks are noninterest bearing deposits that are held at the Federal Reserve or maintained in vault cash in accordance with regulatory reserve requirements. The balance requirement was $24.1 million at December 31, 1997, and $16.2 million at December 31, 1996. Cash paid during the years ended 1997, 1996 and 1995 for interest was $73.6 million, $68.2 million and $64.2 million, respectively. Cash paid during the same periods for income taxes was $11.6 million, $8.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively. 30 4.

During 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued implementation guidance related to Statement No. 115 to allow for a one- time transfer of securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale without calling into question management's intent and ability to hold securities to maturity. The Corporation transferred securities with an amortized cost of $195.3 million from held-to-maturity to available-for- sale to better manage its liquidity position as a result of this. This transfer did not have a material impact on the Corporation's equity position. Securities in the amount of $174 million and $145 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, trust funds, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. 5. LOANS Major classifications of loans, net of unearned income, are summarized as follows: December 31 (in thousands) 1997 1996 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial, secured by real estate $ 310,092 $ 270,315 Commercial, other 260,808 234,793 Real estate - commercial construction 76,131 67,267 Real estate - residential construction 9,694 11,802 Real estate - consumer mortgage 407,893 411,067 Consumer 361,927 310,582 Equipment lease financing 1,884 3,797 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 1,428,429 $ 1,309,623 =============================================================================== Included in loan balances are loans held for sale in the amount of $0.9 million and $78.4 million at December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively. The amount of loans on a non-accruing income status was $12.1 million and $10.2 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Additional interest which would have been recorded during 1997, 1996 and 1995 if such loans had been accruing interest was approximately $1.3 million, $0.8 million, and $1.1 million, respectively. In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation's banking subsidiaries have made loans at prevailing interest rates and terms to directors and executive officers of the Corporation or its banking subsidiaries, including their associates (as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission). Management believes such loans were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rate and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other persons. The aggregate amount such loans at January 1, 1997 was $ 29.0 million. During 1997, 32 activity with respect to these loans included new loans of $6.0 million, repayments of $0.7 million, and a net increase of $12.5 million due to changes in the status of executive officers and directors. As a result of these activities, the aggregate balance of these loans was $21.8 million at December 31, 1997. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the recorded investment in impaired loans was $11 million and $8.4 million, respectively. Included in these amounts at December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively are $2.4 million and $3.3 million of impaired loans for which specific reserves for loan losses are carried in the amounts of $1.6 million and $893 thousand. The average investment in impaired loans for 1997 and 1996 was $11.1 million and $8.8 million, respectively while interest income of $258 thousand and $305 thousand was recognized on cash payments of $258 thousand and $305 thousand. 6.

In April 1997, CTBI Preferred Capital Trust ("CTBI Trust"), a trust created under the laws of the State of Delaware, issued $34.5 million of 9.0% cumulative trust preferred securities ("Preferred Securities"). The Corporation owns all of the beneficial interests represented by common securities ("Common Securities") of CTBI Trust, which exists for the sole purpose of issuing the Preferred Securities and Common Securities and investing the proceeds thereof in an equivalent amount of 9.0% Subordinated Debentures which were issued by the Corporation.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The components of the provision for income taxes are as follows: (in thousands) 1997 1996 1995 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Currently payable $ 8,548 $ 8,027 $ 4,641 Deferred (624) 444 219 Increase in valuation allowance - - (252) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 7,924 $ 8,471 $ 4,608 ============================================================================ The components of the net deferred tax asset as of December 31 are as follows: (in thousands) 1997 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred Tax Assets Allowance for loan losses $ 6,357 $ 5,783 Allowance for other real estate losses 291 216 Net unrealized depreciation on securities available-for-sale - 312 Accrued expenses 320 320 Deferred compensation 212 207 Other 965 965 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total deferred tax assets $ 8,145 $ 7,803 Deferred Tax Liabilities Depreciation $ (3,423) $ (3,569) Net unrealized appreciation on securities available-for-sale (329) - FHLB stock dividends (1,275) (949) Other (854) (854) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total deferred tax liabilities $ (5,881) $ (5,372) Valuation allowance (764) (948) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net deferred tax asset $ 1,500 $ 1,483 =============================================================================== The Corporation reports income taxes on the liability method, which places primary emphasis on the valuation of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. The amount of income tax expense recognized for a period is the amount of income taxes currently payable or refundable, plus or minus the change in aggregate deferred tax assets and liabilities. The method focuses first on the balance sheet, and the amount of income tax expense is determined by changes in the components of the balance sheet. 35 A reconciliation between federal income tax at the statutory rate and income tax expense is as follows: (in thousands) 1997 1996 1995 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Tax at statutory rate $ 8,367 $ 9,543 $ 5,398 Tax-exempt interest (1,061) (1,295) (1,349) Other, net 618 223 559 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- $ 7,924 $ 8,471 $ 4,608 ================================================================ 12. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS The Corporation has a KSOP plan covering substantially all employees. Half of the first 8% of wages contributed by an employee is matched and goes into the savings and retirement portion of the plan. Employees may contribute additional non-matched amounts up to maximum limits provided by IRS regulations, and the Corporation may at its discretion, contribute an additional percentage of covered employees' gross wages. The Corporation currently contributes 4% of covered employees gross wages to the employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) portion of the plan. The ESOP uses the contribution to acquire shares of the Corporation's common stock. The ESOP owned 579,285 shares of Corporation stock at December 31, 1997. Substantially all shares owned by the ESOP were allocated to employees' accounts at December 31, 1997. The market price of the shares at the date of allocation is essentially the same as the market price at the date of purchase. The total retirement plan expense, including ESOP expense above, for 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $1.3 million, $1.2 million, and $1.1 million, respectively. The Corporation maintains an incentive stock option plan covering key employees. Approximately 495,000 shares have been authorized under the plan, 148,182 of which were available at December 31, 1997 for future grants. All options granted have a maximum term of ten years. Options granted as management retention options vest after five years, all other options vest ratably over four years. The Corporation has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because the alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", requires use of option valuation models that were not designed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of all employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense is recognized. The Corporation's stock option activity and related information for the periods ended December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996, is summarized as follows: December 31, 1997 December 31, 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Weighted-Average Weighted-Average Options Exercise Price Options Exercise Price - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Outstanding at beginning of period 255,333 $19.92 74,874 $17.20 Granted 140,085 23.24 189,188 18.99 Exercised (23,032) 13.18 (4,950) 9.81 Forfeited/Expired (86,618) 20.39 (3,779) 23.14 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Outstanding at end of period 285,768 $23.59 255,333 $18.58 ================================================================================================ Exercisable at end of period 37,918 $16.33 51,908 $14.42 The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the years 1996 and 1997 was $5.07 and $5.26 per share, respectively. Exercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 1997 ranged from $9.70 to $22.27. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of these options is 9.0 years. The fair value of the options presented above was estimated at the date of the grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for 1997 and 1996, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 5.50% and 6.75%; dividend yields of 2.70% and 3.27%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Corporation's common stock of .209 and .230 and a weighted average expected option life of 6.0 years. Because the effect of applying Statement 123's fair value method to the Corporation's stock options results in net income and earnings per share amounts that are not materially different from those reported in the consolidated statements of income, pro forma information has not been provided. 36 13. OPERATING LEASES Certain premises and equipment are leased under operating leases. Minimum rental payments are as follows: (in thousands) - ----------------------------------- 1998 $1,177 1999 1,117 2000 998 2001 830 2002 748 Thereafter 3,650 - ----------------------------------- $8,520 =================================== Rental expense under operating leases was $0.9 million, $0.8 million, and $1.2 million in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value: Cash and Cash Equivalents - The carrying amount approximates fair value. Securities - Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. Loans and Loans Held for Sale - The fair value of fixed rate loans and variable rate mortgage loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. For other variable rate loans, the carrying amount approximates fair value. Deposits - The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Short-Term Borrowings - The carrying amount approximates fair value. Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank - The fair value of these fixed- maturity advances is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the rates currently offered for advances of similar remaining maturities. Long-Term Debt - The interest rate on the Corporation's long-term debt is variable or approximates current market rates for similar instruments and therefore the carrying amount approximates fair value. Other Financial Instruments - The estimated fair value for other financial instruments and off-balance sheet loan commitments approximates cost at December 31, 1997 and 1996 and is not considered significant. 1997 1996 Estimated Estimated Carrying Fair Carrying Fair December 31 (in thousands) Amount Value Amount Value - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 61,404 $ 61,404 $ 63,884 $ 63,884 Securities 281,542 280,761 367,685 365,335 Loans 1,428,429 1,452,692 1,309,623 1,323,615 Less: allowance for loan losses (20,465) (20,465) (18,825) (18,825) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $1,750,910 $1,774,392 $1,722,367 $1,734,009 =========================================================================================== Financial liabilities: Deposits $1,465,003 $1,473,543 $1,480,822 $1,489,020 Short-term borrowings 57,949 47,719 44,584 44,584 Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank 101,827 100,984 110,969 111,939 Long-term debt 53,463 53,463 19,136 19,136 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $1,678,242 $1,675,709 $1,655,511 $1,664,679 =========================================================================================== 37 15. OFF-BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS The Corporation's banking subsidiaries are a party to transactions with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of their customers. These financial instruments include standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit in the form of unused lines of credit. The Corporation's banking subsidiaries use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for on-balance sheet instruments and include these commitments and conditional obligations in their calculations as to the adequacy of their allowances for loan losses. At December 31, the Banks had the following financial instruments, whose approximate contract amounts represent credit risk: (in thousands) 1997 1996 -------------------------------------------------------------- Standby letters of credit $ 14,822 $ 16,047 Commitments to extend credit 182,306 145,292 Standby letters of credit represent conditional commitments to guarantee the performance of a third party. The credit risk involved is essentially the same as the risk involved in making loans. Fixed rate loan commitments at December 31, 1997 of $7.4 million have interest rates ranging predominately from 6.4% to 18.0% and are for terms up to 5 years. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The Banks evaluate each customer's credit- worthiness on a case-by-case basis. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. A portion of the commitments are to extend credit at fixed rates. These credit commitments are based on prevailing rates, terms and conditions applicable to other loans being made at December 31, 1997. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment and income- producing properties. 16. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Bank and the thrift grant commercial, residential, and consumer related loans to customers primarily located in eastern and central Kentucky. Although the Bank and the Thrift have diverse loan portfolios, a certain portion of the debtor's ability to perform is somewhat dependent upon the coal industry. 17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Corporation and Bank, along with several of their officers, are named defendants in legal actions from normal business activities. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes these actions are without merit or that the ultimate liability, if any, will not materially affect the Corporation's consolidated financial position. 18. LIMITATION ON SUBSIDIARY BANK DIVIDENDS The Corporation's principal source of funds is dividends received from the subsidiary banks. Regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Corporation's banking subsidiaries without prior approval. During 1998, approximately $1.7 million plus any 1998 net profits can be paid by the Corporation's banking subsidiaries without prior regulatory approval. 38 19. REGULATORY MATTERS The Corporation and its banking subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial statements. Under capital adequacy and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Corporation's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Corporation's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I Capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I Capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). These measures also define banks and bank holding companies as "well-capitalized" which meet or exceed higher minimum amounts and ratios (also set forth in the table below.) Management believes, as of December 31, 1997, that the Corporation meets all capital adequacy requirements for which it is subject to be defined as well-capitalized. To be Well Capitalized Under For Capital Prompt Corrective Actual Adequacy Purposes Action Provisions (in thousands) Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1997 Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) $191,733 13.69% $112,051 8.00% $140,063 10.00% Tier I Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) 174,189 12.44% 56,025 4.00% 84,038 6.00% Tier I Capital (to Average Assets) 174,189 9.67% 72,800 4.00% 91,000 5.00% AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1996 Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) $141,339 10.96% $103,152 8.00% $128,940 10.00% Tier I Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) 125,188 9.71% 51,576 4.00% 77,364 6.00% Tier I Capital (to Average Assets) 125,188 7.05% 71,052 4.00% 88,815 5.00% 39 20.

Management believes the consolidated financial statements and related financial information reflect fairly the substance of the transactions and present fairly the Corporation's financial position and results of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and prevailing practices within the banking industry including necessary judgments and estimates as required. In meeting its responsibilities for the reliability of the financial statements and related financial information, management has established and is responsible for maintaining a system of internal accounting controls. The system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are properly authorized and recorded to facilitate preparation of financial statements which present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Corporation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Although internal accounting controls are designed to achieve these objectives, it must be recognized that errors or irregularities may nonetheless occur. Management believes that its system of internal accounting controls provides reasonable assurance that errors or irregularities that could be material to the financial statements are prevented or would be detected within a reasonable period of time in the normal course of business. A vital part of the system is a continual and thorough internal audit program. The board of directors of the Corporation has an audit committee composed of four directors who are not officers or employees of the Corporation. The committee meets periodically with management, internal auditors and the independent public accountants to review audit results and to assure that the audit and internal control functions are being properly discharged. Ernst & Young LLP, independent public accountants have been engaged to render an independent professional opinion on the Corporation's financial statements. Their audit is conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and forms the basis for their reports as to the fair presentation of the Corporation's financial position and results of operations contained in this annual report. Management has made an assessment of the Corporation's internal control structure and procedures over financial reporting using the criteria described in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, management believes that the Corporation maintained an effective system of internal control for financial reporting as of December 31, 1997.
