                                    PART I

ITEM 1.  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, south central Kentucky, and West
Virginia. 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, 1998, the Corporation
had total consolidated assets of $2.2 billion and total consolidated deposits of
$1.9 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. 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.

       On June 26, 1998 the Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary, Community
Trust Bank of West Virginia, NA, purchased seven Banc One Corporation branches
with deposits totalling $216 million. On December 31, 1998 Community Trust Bank
of West Virginia, NA merged into Community Trust Bank, NA. Also in 1998,
Community Trust Bank, NA purchased five branch offices from PNC Bank, NA with
deposits totalling $195 million.

       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, 

                                       3



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.

       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).

       Laws and regulations are considered from time to time that could
significantly impact the Corporation's business, including proposals which, if
adopted, would result in fundamental changes in the financial services industry.
Recently, the Financial Services Act of 1999 was introduced in Congress. The
Financial Services Act of 1999 would, among other things, repeal the bank
holding company prohibitions on insurance underwriting, expand permissible
nonbanking activities for bank holding companies from those "closely related to
banking" to those that are "financial in nature" and repeal the prohibitions on
banks affiliating with securities firms. While the Corporation is unable to
predict whether any such laws or regulations will be adopted, the Corporation
believes that any such new laws or regulations are likely to lead to increased
consolidation and competition within the financial services industry.

       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, 1998, the Corporation and its subsidiaries had 818
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 bank 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.


                                       4



       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.


                             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"). These cautionary
statements are being made pursuant to the provisions of the Act and with the
intention of obtaining the benefits of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Act.
The Corporation cautions investors that any forward-looking statements made by
the Corporation are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results
may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result
of various factors, including but not limited to, the following: (1) the
increase or decrease of interest rates as a whole (2) the condition of the
national and local economies of the communities served, including unemployment
rates (3) the ability of the company to improve operating efficiency through
consolidation of service and economies of scale and (4) any regulatory or law
changes which may affect the operating environment of the Corporation or any of
its affiliates.

       The calculations of the weighted average interest rates for each maturity
category are based on yield weighted by the respective costs of the securities.
The weighted average rates on state and political subdivisions are computed on a
taxable equivalent basis using a 35% tax rate. For purposes of the above
presentation, maturities of mortgage-backed pass through certificates and
collateralized mortgage obligations are based on estimated maturities.

       Excluding those holdings of the investment portfolio in U.S. Treasury
securities and other agencies of the U.S. Government, there were no securities
of any one issuer which exceeded 10% of the shareholders' equity of the
Corporation at December 31, 1998.

       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 1998, gross interest income that would have been recorded on
nonaccrual loans had the loans been current in accordance with their original
terms amounted to $1.5 million. Interest income actually recorded and included
in net income for the period was $0.3 million, leaving $1.2 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, 1998.

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.

       Management uses an internal analysis to determine the adequacy of the
loan loss reserve and charges to the provision for loan losses. This analysis is
based on net charge-off experience for prior years, current delinquency levels
and risk factors based on the local economy and relative experience of the
lending staff. This analysis is completed quarterly and forms the basis for
allocation of the loan loss reserve and what charges to provision may be
required.

1996. Earnings for 1997 include an extraordinary gain (net of tax) of $3.1
million received from a settlement with a former software vendor. Earnings per
share for 1998 were $1.39 compared to $1.90 per share for 1997 and $1.87 per
share for 1996.

       Earnings for 1998 reflected increases in the categories of net interest
income and noninterest income, reflecting the Company's growth; noninterest
expense likewise increased from the previous year, fueled by the acquisition of
twelve new branches and certain special charges taken in September 1998. These
charges included $0.9 million primarily for the consolidation of operations and
staff reduction costs, $6.0 million for additional loan loss provision; and a
$1.3 million writedown of the retained interest from the 1997 securitization of
auto loans; net of a $1.5 million income tax accrual reversal. The loan loss
addition and retained interest writedown related to continuing problems in the
indirect auto financing operation and the decision to restructure the dealer
profile and resolve problem loans in a more aggressive manner. The Company's
return on average assets for 1998 was 0.69% as compared to 1.05% and 1.07% in
1997 and 1996, respectively, and the return on average equity for 1998 was
08.59% as compared to 12.31% and 13.53% for 1997 and 1996, respectively.

       Total assets as of December 31, 1998 were $2.25 billion, an increase of
21.3% as compared to total assets of $1.85 billion on December 31, 1997. The
Company's total assets were impacted by the purchase of assets and the
assumption of certain liabilities of seven branches in West Virginia from Banc
One Corporation with loans totalling $10.0 million and deposits totalling $216.0
million and five branches from PNC Corporation with loans totalling $50.0
million and deposits totalling $195.0 million. Total loans as of December 31,
1998 were $1.50 billion compared to $1.43 billion as of December 31, 1997, an
increase of 5.2%. Total deposits increased 31.1% from $1.47 billion at December
31, 1997 to $1.92 billion at December 31, 1998 primarily as a result of the
assumption of liabilities relative to the branch acquisitions discussed above.

       In January 1999 shareholders were notified that they would receive a
10% stock dividend for shares held as of March 15. This stock dividend will be
paid in April 1999, in addition to the quarterly cash dividend.

ACQUISITIONS

       After making no acquisitions during the years 1996 and 1997, on 
June 26, 1998 the Company resumed its strategic policy of diversification 
through acquisition.

       Community Trust Bancorp, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Community
Trust Bank of West Virginia, National Association (CTBWV, which was later merged
into the Company's lead bank, Community Trust Bank, NA), purchased sixteen Banc
One Corporation branches located in West Virginia with approximately $569
million in deposits on June 26, 1998. CTBWV paid a 9.7% premium on these
deposits. In concurrent transactions, CTBWV sold three of these branches with
deposits totaling $151 million to Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc. of Georgetown,
Kentucky receiving a 9.7% premium; four branches with deposits totaling $122
million to Peoples Banking and Trust Company of Marietta, Ohio receiving a 10.7%
premium; and two branches with deposits totaling $80 million to United
Bankshares of Charles Town, West Virginia receiving an 11.7% premium. The
additional 1% premium paid by Peoples Banking and Trust Company and the
additional 2% premium paid by United Bankshares was divided evenly between CTBWV
and Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc. as part of a prior agreement.

       CTBWV retained seven branches with deposits totaling $216 million. The
funds used to capitalize the newly chartered CTBWV were provided from the sale
of Trust Preferred Securities that occurred in April 1997 and the sale of an
affiliate bank in July 1997. The facilities that were purchased will continue to
operate as banking offices. This acquisition will assist in growth of the
Company outside of Kentucky and provide a new customer base for generating
additional revenues.

       On September 18, 1998 Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. and PNC Bank Corp.
announced that their banking subsidiaries, Community Trust Bank, N.A. and PNC
Bank, N.A., closed Community Trust Bank's purchase of five branches from PNC
with total deposits of approximately $195.0 million. These branches are located
in Richmond, Winchester and Harrodsburg, all located in central Kentucky.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1998 Compared to 1997

       Net income for 1998 was $14.0 million compared to $19.1 million for
1997. Basic earnings per share for 1998 were $1.39 compared to $1.90 per share
for 1997. Earnings for 1997 include a $3.1 million or $0.31 per share
extraordinary gain (net of tax).

       Net interest income for 1998 was relatively flat, increasing 0.1% as 
compared to 1997, rising from $76.5 million in 1997 to $76.6 million in 1998. 
Noninterest income increased 5.6% from $18.4 million in 1997 to $19.5 million 
in 1998 while noninterest expense increased 3.8% from $59.9 million in 1997 
to $62.2 million in 1997. (See separate discussions of noninterest income and 
noninterest expense below.)

       Return on average assets decreased from 1.05% including the
extraordinary item in 1997 to 0.69% in 1998, and return on average equity
decreased from 12.31% including the extraordinary item in 1997 to 8.59% in 1998.


Net Interest Income

       During the third quarter of 1997 the Company began recording certain
loan fees as noninterest revenue which, until then, were classified as interest
income. As a result, net interest income for 1998 ended only marginally higher
at $76.6 million, up 0.1% from 1997. The Company's net interest margin declined
from 4.66% at the end of 1997 to 4.21% at the end of 1998, also a reflection of
the change in classification of certain loan-related fee income as well as the
effect of the decrease in the loans to deposits ratio from 92.6% at December 31,
1997 to 88.97% on December 31, 1998.

       The Company's average earning assets increased from $1.68 billion in 1997
to $1.87 billion in 1998. Average interest bearing liabilities also increased
during the period, from $1.46 billion in 1997 to $1.64 billion in 1998. Average
interest bearing liabilities as a percentage of average earning assets remained
fairly stable, moving from 86.5% in 1997 to 87.8% in 1998.

       The taxable equivalent yield on average earning assets decreased from
9.06% in 1997 to 8.68% in 1998. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities
remained relatively flat changing from 5.09% to 5.11% during the same period.
The yield on interest bearing assets has been impacted by the change in the
earning asset mix as well as by the decline in market rates. Loans accounted for
80.2% of all earning assets in 1997 while loans accounted for 78.5% of earning
assets in 1998. Loans accounted for 66.8% of total assets as of December 31,
1998 compared to 77.1% as of December 31, 1997.

       The Company acquired twelve new branches during 1998 through a purchase
of assets and assumption of liabilities, affecting deposit growth and to a
lessor degree, loan growth. The two acquisitions resulted in a net cash flow to
the Company of approximately $345.0 million. The additional cash flow will be
available to fund new loan growth but was temporarily invested in financial
assets which are generally lower in yield than traditional loans until such time
as the Company uses it to fund new loans.

Provision for loan losses

       The provision for loan losses increased from $11.2 million in 1997 to
$16.0 million in 1998. In September,1998, CTBI took a special charge of $7.3
million to clean up problems in the Indirect Loan Portfolio. Six million ($6.0
million) of this charge was booked as additional Provison for Loan Losses. The
indirect portfolio has been a continuing problem and this special provision will
allow management to expedite the resolution of this issue. The remaining $1.3
million was recorded as a write down of the retained interest in the 1997
securitization of indirect auto loans.

       Charge-offs, net of recoveries, as a percentage of average loans
outstanding increased from 0.66 in 1997 to 0.78% in 1998 as gross charge-offs
and recoveries both increased for 1998. The allowance for loan losses increased
significantly, rising from $20.5 million at December 31, 1997 to $26.1 million
at December 31, 1998. The Company 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 5.4% from $18.4 million in 1997 to $19.4
million in 1998. Service charges on deposit-related products generated $7.9
million for the year, an increase of $1.0 million over the previous year. This
was fueled by the acquisition of approximately $411 million in deposits during
1998 and by increasing our collection rates on service charges assessed. Trust
income increased from $1.8 million in 1997 to $2.0 million in 1998 as trust
assets under management increased during the year. Gains on sale of residential
mortgage loans increased from $1.1 million in 1997 to $2.1 million in 1998, due
to lower interest rates creating an increase in mortgage loan refinancings.
Other noninterest income decreased from $8.6 million in 1997 to $7.5 million in
1997, largely due to the gain of $3.1 million on the sale of the Company's
affiliate in West Liberty, which was completed in July 1997. Securities gains
and losses were not a significant factor in either 1998 or 1997, as the Company
incurred net securities gains of $12,000 in 1998 and $47,000 in 1997.

Noninterest expense

       Noninterest expense increased from $59.9 million in 1997 to $62.2
million in 1998. This increase is primarily the result of additional operating
expenses from the 1998 acquistion of the twelve new branches discussed above.
Salaries and employee benefits increased from $28.5 million in 1997 to $28.7
million in 1998. Occupancy expense likewise increased from $4.2 million in 1997
to $4.5 million in 1998, while equipment costs were relatively flat at $4.0
million in 1998 and 1997. Data processing costs increased from $3.1 million in
1996 to $3.3 million in 1997 and stationery and printing costs remained at $1.8
million in 1998 and 1997. Taxes other than payroll, property and income, which
consists mainly of Kentucky Franchise taxes on the equity and deposits of the
affiliate banks, remained stationary at $2.1 million in both 1997 and 1998.
Other categories of noninterest expense increased as a result of the $1.3
million write down of the securitization retained interest discussed above.


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).

       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 Company 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 Company'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 Company'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 86.5% 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 was favorably impacted due to the
Company'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 Company's ending 


                                       21



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 the 
funding of new loans.

       The Company 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 Company's cost of interest bearing liabilities from $69.1 million in 1996 to
$74.1 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
Company'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 Company does not believe there are currently any
trends, events or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material
effect on the volume of its non-performing loans.

Noninterest income

       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 $600 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 $7.5
million in 1996 to $8.6 million in 1997, largely due to the reclassification of
loan-related fees from interest income, and also due to an operating gain on the
sale of the Company's affiliate in West Liberty, which was completed in July
1997. Securities gains and losses were not a significant factor in either 1997
or 1996, as the Company 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 and printing
costs marginally increased from $1.7 million in 1996 to $1.8 million in 1997.
Taxes other than payroll, property and income, which consists mainly of Kentucky
Franchise taxes on the equity of the affiliate banks, remained stationary at
$2.1 million in both 1996 and 1997. Other categories of noninterest expense
increased as a result of branch expansion and the normal course of business.

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 properly
process into the next century. Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. has already taken
the steps to be "Year 2000 compliant". Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. realized
the importance of Year 2000 readiness early and committed the people and
resources to prepare its systems for January 1, 2000 and beyond. Achieving Year
2000 readiness is the company's top technology priority. Early on we formed both
a Year 2000 Executive Steering Committee consisting of our top executives and
top management, along with a Year 2000 Working Team made up of employees from
each key business area. These company leaders have taken responsibility to
identify and repair instances where dates may not process correctly within their
area of operation and to test for interdependencies with clients, vendors and
other corporate units. We have identified and contacted the bank's significant
vendors to inquire about their own Year 2000 


                                       22



readiness plans, and are tracking and monitoring their progress. To ensure 
that all areas are covered, these efforts are coordinated and tracked 
centrally by the Year 2000 Working Team and reported to the Year 2000 
Executive Steering Committee and the Board of Directors on a regular basis.

AWARENESS - (COMPLETE) - We defined the Year 2000 problem and allocated the 
appropriate resources necessary to perform our compliance work. We 
established both a Year 2000 Executive Steering Committee and a Year 2000 
Working Team and developed an overall strategy for our Year 2000 efforts that 
encompasses in-house systems, service bureaus for systems that are 
outsourced, vendors, auditors, customers, and suppliers. 

ASSESSMENT PHASE - (COMPLETE) - We then assessed the size and complexity of 
the problem and the magnitude of the effort necessary to address our Year 
2000 issues. This phase identified all hardware, software, networks, 
automated teller machines, and other processing platforms, along with 
customer and vendor interdependencies affected by the Year 2000 date change. 
We have completed an inventory of systems in the bank, prioritized those that 
were identified, and made detailed plans to renovate and test modifications 
to make them Year 2000 ready. Our assessment went well beyond information 
systems and included environmental systems that are dependent on embedded 
microchips, such as security systems, elevators, and vaults. 

RENOVATION PHASE -(IN-PROCESS) - Strategies were developed for the code 
enhancements, hardware renovation or replacements, software upgrades and 
vendor certification, along with other associated changes. This work was 
prioritized based on the information gathered during our assessment phase. A 
millennium test site was developed to assure that testing of our hardware and 
software could occur outside of our working environment before being 
implemented on our production systems. Plans were made for on-going 
communications and monitoring of our key vendors, third-party service 
providers, and software providers throughout our Year 2000 project timeline. 
The Planned date of completion is March 31, 1999. 

VALIDATION PHASE - (IN-PROCESS) - Testing, while inherent in each phase, 
plays a key role in the success of our entire Year 2000 project. This phase 
includes testing of all incremental changes to hardware and software 
components, along with interfaces and connections with other systems. Also, 
validation from both internal and external users is required. During this 
phase, monitoring and communications with our service and software vendors 
will be maintained to assure these vendor efforts are tracked and their 
progress closely monitored. Our core third party data processor, one of the 
country's leading suppliers of financial institution data processing 
services, has already installed Year 2000 upgrades to their data processing 
systems. We have performed substantial off site testing of this upgrade and 
have scheduled on-site testing for the first quarter of 1999. 

IMPLEMENTATION PHASE - (IN-PROCESS) -Our data processing Systems will be 
certified as Year 2000 compliant. For any system failing certification, the 
business effect will be clearly assessed and the organization's Year 2000 
contingency plans will be implemented. This phase will also ensure that any 
new systems or subsequent changes to verified systems are compliant with Year 
2000 requirements. We have completed testing and determined that all of our 
major systems are Year 2000 ready. We have also verified that our systems 
will recognize that 2000 is a leap year, and continue to work closely with 
our client and vendor companies to verify that they also are prepared for the 
century date change. In addition, we have drafted our "Business Resumption 
Plan" which provides contingency plans for all identified Year 2000 issues.

       The costs associated with the Year 2000 project were $600,000 in 1998
and are estimated to be $886,000 in 1999. Because Community Trust Bancorp, Inc.
is utilizing internal staff for the management and implementation of its Year
2000 Compliance program, it does not expect to incur any material costs with
outside contractors. Subsequently, it does not anticipate a material increase in
operating costs to be incurred.

       The cost of the Year 2000 project and the date by which the Company 
believes it will be Year 2000 compliant are based upon management's current 
best estimates, which were derived based upon numerous assumptions of future 
events, including availability of certain resources, third party modification 
plans and other factors. Actual results could vary from those anticipated.


                                       23



LIQUIDITY

       The Company's objectives are to ensure that funds are available at the 
subsidiary bank and thrift to meet deposit withdrawals and credit demands 
without unduly penalizing profitability, and to ensure that funding is 
available for the parent company to meet it's ongoing cash needs while 
maximizing profitability. The Company continues to identify ways to provide 
for liquidity on both a current and long-term basis. On a long-term basis, 
the subsidiary bank and thrift 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 subsidiary bank 
and thrift also rely on the sale of securities under repurchase agreements, 
securities available-for-sale and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.

       Deposits increased 31% from $1.47 billion at December 31, 1997 to 
$1.92 billion at December 31, 1998. This increase was in large part due to 
the acquisition of approximately $411 million in deposits through the 
acquisition of seven branches in West Virginia and twelve branches in central 
Kentucky. Taking advantage of this increase in liquidity, the Company 
decreased its borrowings of federal funds, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, 
and other short-term borrowings while establishing a federal funds sold 
position of $135 million.

       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 Company is able to borrow 
funds with several correspondent banks, to meet the Company's liquidity needs.

       The Company owns $301 million of securities designated as 
available-for-sale and valued at market which are available to meet liquidity 
needs on a continuing basis. The Company 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 $101.8 million at 
December 31, 1997 to $51.4 million at December 31, 1998.

       The Company 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 Company has $12.0 million of a $17.5 million credit line available 
beyond 1999, in the form of a revolving line of credit (see Note 9- Long-term 
Debt). The Company'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 Company 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 
Company uses the Sendero system to monitor its interest rate risk. The 
Company desires an interest sensitivity gap of not more than fifteen percent 
of total assets at the one year interval.


                                       24



The Company's static interest rate gap position as of December 31, 1998 is

CAPITAL RESOURCES

       Total shareholders' equity increased from $158.0 million at December 
31, 1997 to $164.8 million at December 31, 1998. The primary source of 
capital of the Company is retained earnings. Cash dividends were $0.81 per 
share for 1998 and $0.74 per share for 1997.

       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 
maintain 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 
10.0%. The Company's ratios as of December 31, 1998 were 6.09%, 8.50% and 
9.75%, respectively. Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. meets the definition of 
"adequately capitalized" and all banking affiliates met the criteria for 
"well capitalized" at December 31, 1998.

       As of December 31, 1998, 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 Company's liquidity, capital resources, or operations.


                                       25



IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

       The majority of the Company's assets and liabilities are monetary in 
nature. Therefore, the Company 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 Company'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.

       The Company currently does not engage in any derivative or hedging 
activity. Discussion and analysis of the Company's interest rate sensitivity

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. 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 and central and western West Virginia.

         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 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 inherent losses in the loan portfolio based on management's best
estimate, 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.

         PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT - Premises and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and amortization. Capital leases are included in
premises and equipment, at the capitalized amount less accumulated amortization.

         Depreciation and amortization are computed primarily using the straight
line method. Estimated useful lives range up to 40 years for buildings, 2 to 10
years for furniture and equipment, and up to the lease term for leasehold
improvements. Capitalized leased assets are amortized on a straight line basis
over the lives of the respective leases.

         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.


                                       31


         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.

         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 Company 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 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 Company has restated all prior period EPS calculations to conform
with Statement 128. (See Note 21 - Earnings Per Share.)

         COMPREHENSIVE INCOME - The Company adopted the Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, effective
December 31, 1998. Under a new accounting standard, comprehensive income is now
reported for all periods. Comprehensive income includes both net income and
other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive includes the change in
unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale. Available-for-sale
securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included
as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

         SEGMENT INFORMATION - The Company adopted the Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 131, OPERATING SEGMENT DATA, effective December
31, 1998. This new accounting standard requires the segmentation of the
Company's financial reporting as it is reported internally by management. The
Company currently does not segment its financial statements for internal
purposes as it is deemed to currently operate within the same economic and
regulatory environment.

         RECLASSIFICATION - Certain reclassifications have been made in the
prior year financial statements to conform to current classifications.

2.  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

         On June 26, 1998 the Corporation chartered a new national association
to operate as a national bank in the state of West Virginia. This new wholly
owned subsidiary, Community Trust Bank of West Virginia, National Association
(CTBWV), purchased sixteen Banc One Corporation branches located in West
Virginia with approximately $569 million in deposits. CTBWV paid a 9.7% premium
on these deposits. In concurrent transactions, CTBWV sold three of these
branches with deposits totaling $151 million to Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc.
of Georgetown, Kentucky receiving a 9.7% premium; four branches with deposits
totaling $122 million to Peoples Banking and Trust Company of Marietta, Ohio
receiving a 10.7% premium; and two branches with deposits totaling $80 million
to United Bankshares of Charles Town, West Virginia receiving 11.7% premium. The
additional 1% premium paid by Peoples Banking and Trust Company and the
additional 2% premium paid by United Bankshares was divided evenly between CTBWV
and Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc. as part of a prior agreement.

         CTBWV retained seven branches with deposits totaling $216 million. The
funds used to capitalize the newly chartered CTBWV were provided from the sale
of Trust Preferred Securities that occurred in April 1997 and the sale of an
affiliate bank in July 1997. The facilities that were purchased will continue to
operate as banking offices. This acquisition will assist in growth of the
Company outside of Kentucky and provide a new customer base for generating
additional revenues.

                                       32


         On September 18, 1998 Community Trust Bank, NA purchased five branches
from PNC Bank, NA with total deposits of $195 million. These branches are
located in Richmond, Winchester and Harrodsburg, Kentucky.

         On December 31, 1998 Community Trust Bank of West Virginia, NA merged
into Community Trust Bank, NA. This merger will allow the Corporation to become
operationally more efficient.

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 $39.1 million at
December 31, 1998, and $24.1 million at December 31, 1997. Cash paid during the
years ended 1998, 1997 and 1996 for interest was $83.6 million, $73.6 million
and $68.2 million, respectively. Cash paid during the same periods for income
taxes was $3.4 million, $11.6 million and $8.1 million, respectively.

       Included in loan balances are loans held for sale in the amount of $3.6
million and $0.9 million at December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
respectively. The amount of loans on a non-accruing income status was $14.9
million and $12.1 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Additional interest which would have been recorded during 1998, 1997 and 1996 if
such loans had been accruing interest was approximately $1.5 million, $1.3
million, and $0.8 million, respectively.


                                       34


       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, 1998 was $ 21.8 million. During 1998, activity with respect to these
loans included new loans of $6.1 million, repayments of $1.6 million, and a net
increase of $6.2 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 $32.5 million at December 31, 1998.

       At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the recorded investment in impaired loans
was $13.1 million and $11 million, respectively. Included in these amounts at
December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively are $2.4 million and $2.4
million of impaired loans for which specific reserves for loan losses are
carried in the amounts of $1.9 million and $1.6 million. The average investment
in impaired loans for 1998 and 1997 was $13.1 million and $11 million,
respectively while interest income of $294 thousand and $258 thousand was
recognized on cash payments of $294 thousand and $258 thousand.

     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.

     A reconciliation between federal income tax at the statutory rate and
income tax expense is as follows:

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
portion of the KSOP plan owned 220,589 shares of Corporation stock at December
31, 1998. The 401(k) portion of the KSOP plan owned 399,559 shares of
Corporation stock at December 31, 1998. Substantially all shares owned by the
KSOP were allocated to employees' accounts at December 31, 1998. 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 KSOP expense above, for
1998, 1997 and 1996 was $1.4 million, $1.3 million, and $1.2 million,
respectively.

       The Corporation currently maintains two incentive stock option plans
covering key employees; however, only one plan is active. The new plan was
approved by the Board of Directors and the Shareholders in 1998. The new plan
has 650,000 shares authorized, 639,000 of which were available at December 31,
1998 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 weighted-average fair value of options granted during the years 1997
and 1998 was $5.26 and $8.22 per share, respectively. Exercise prices for
options outstanding as of December 31, 1998 ranged from $9.70 to $31.36. The
weighted-average remaining contractual life of these options is 8.0 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 1998 and 1997, respectively: risk-free interest
rates of 5.00% and 5.50%; dividend yields of 3.45% and 2.70%; volatility factors
of the expected market price of the Corporation's common stock of .310 and .209
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.

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, 1998 and 1997 and is not considered significant.

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)                                   1998                1997  
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                 
Standby letters of credit                     $  15,102           $ 14,822
Commitments to extend credit                    223,477            182,306



                                       40


       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, 1998 of $12.5 million have
interest rates ranging predominately from 6.0% 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, 1998. Collateral held
varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment
and income-producing properties.

16. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

         The Corporation's banking subsidiaries grant commercial, residential
and consumer related loans to customers primarily located in Eastern Kentucky,
Central Kentucky and West Virginia. The banking subsidiaries are continuing to
increase all components of their portfolio mix in a manner to reduce risk from
changes in economic conditions. Although these loan portfolios are diverse, a
certain portion of our debtor's are economically dependent upon the coal
industry for their ability to repay.

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 1999,
approximately $14.5 million plus any 1999 net profits can be paid by the
Corporation's banking subsidiaries without prior regulatory approval.



                                       41


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, 1998, that the Corporation meets all capital adequacy
requirements for which it is subject to be defined as well-capitalized.



                                                                                                                 To be Well

Report of Management:

         The management of Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. has the responsibility
for the preparation, integrity and reliability of the financial statements and
related financial information contained in this annual report. 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, 1998.
