NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements are based on various factors including the current interest rate environment and the general strength of the local economy. Changes in the overall interest rate environment can significantly affect the Company's net interest income and the value of its recorded assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements. The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31 has been prepared from the Company's books and records without audit. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, but is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements, have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. New Accounting Pronouncement - In June 2006, FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FAS 109 was issued. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Earlier application is encouraged if an entity has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements, in the period FIN 48 is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 2. BUSINESS COMBINATION On July 7, 2006, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Peoples Bancorp of Sandy Hook, Inc. (Peoples), a $91 million asset bank holding company. On the merger date, Peoples had loans of $51 million and deposits of $72 million. 3.

Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options. The factors used in the earnings per share computation follow: Six Months Ended June 30 2006 2005 (in thousands) Basic Earnings Per Share Net Income $3,009 $2,849 Weighted average common shares outstanding 2,668 2,683 Basic earnings per share $ 1.13 $ 1.06 Diluted Earnings Per Share Net Income $3,009 $2,849 Weighted average common shares outstanding 2,668 2,683 Add dilutive effects of assumed exercise of stock options 12 16 Weighted average common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding 2,680 2,699 Diluted earnings per share $ 1.12 $ 1.05 Three Months Ended June 30 2006 2005 (in thousands) Basic Earnings Per Share Net Income $1,716 $1,516 Weighted average common shares outstanding 2,665 2,682 Basic earnings per share $ 0.65 $ 0.56 Diluted Earnings Per Share Net Income $1,716 $1,516 Weighted average common shares outstanding 2,665 2,682 Add dilutive effects of assumed exercise of stock options 12 15 Weighted average common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding 2,677 2,697 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.64 $ 0.56 Stock options for 32,400 shares of common stock for the six and three months ended June 30, 2006, and for 31,100 shares of common stock for the six and three months ended June 30, 2005 were excluded from diluted earnings per share because their impact was antidilutive. 6. Stock Compensation The Company grants certain officers and key employees stock option awards, which vest and become fully exercisable at the end of five years. The Company also grants certain directors stock option awards, which vest and become fully exercisable immediately. The exercise price of each option, which has a ten year life, was equal to the market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant. The Company also provides to certain officers and key employees restricted stock grants, which fully vest at the end of five years. The Company records employee expense ratably over the five year period, based on the market price of the common stock on the date of grant. Total shares issuable under the restricted stock grant plan are 50,000 shares. In January 2006, 3,875 shares were granted under the plan. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a revised version of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123. It requires that the fair value of stock options and other share-based compensation be measured as of the date the grant is awarded and expensed over the period of employee service, typically the vesting period. Compensation cost will also be recorded for previously awarded options to the extent that they vest after the effective date. The following table summarizes stock option activity: Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Option Weighted Average Shares Exercise Price Outstanding, beginning of year 77,064 $ 25.32 Granted 1,300 29.50 Exercised (2,100) 16.19 Outstanding, end of period 76,264 25.64 Options exercisable at period end 50,242 23.23 The aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options exercised totaling 2,100 shares was $27,788 and the total intrinsic value of the stock options outstanding of 76,264 shares is $253,116. The following details stock options outstanding: June 30, 2006 December 31, 2005 Stock options vested and currently exercisable: Number 50,242 42,116 Weighted average exercise price $ 23.23 $ 21.38 Aggregate intrinsic value $ 245,864 $ 358,646 Weighted average remaining contractual life 53.2 months 47.7 months The intrinsic value for stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the market price of our common stock as of the reporting date. The Company recorded $33 thousand in stock compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2006 to salaries and employee benefits. The after tax effect on net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $22 thousand, resulting in a one cent decline in earnings per share on both the basic and diluted basis. Prior to 2006, employee compensation expense under stock options is reported using the intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation cost was reflected in net income, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provision of FASB Statement No. 123(r), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and recognizes stock option expense based on fair value at date of grant. The following table illustrates for 2005 the effect on net income and earnings per share if expense was measured using the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123. 2005 (In thousands, except per share amounts) Net income as reported $ 2,849 Less: Stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value based method (27) Pro forma net income $ 2,822 Basic earnings per share as reported $ 1.06 Pro forma basic earnings per share 1.05 Diluted earnings per share as reported 1.05 Pro forma diluted earnings per share 1.04 The weighted-average assumptions for options granted during the year and the resulting estimated weighted average fair values per share used in computing 2006 recognized compensation expense and 2005 for pro forma disclosures are as follows. 2006 2005 Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year $3.14 $4.82 Risk-free interest rate 4.60% 3.98% Expected option life 8 years 8 years Expected stock price volatility 7.99% 15.11% Expected dividend yield 3.39% 3.03% The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes based stock option valuation model. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions that will usually have a significant impact on the fair value estimate. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company's stock, and other factors. Expected dividends are based on dividend trends and the market price of the Company's stock price at grant. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant. 7. Dividends per share paid for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 were $0.25 compared to $0.23 for June 30, 2005. This is the same rate of dividend paid for the first quarters of the respective years. 8.

No contributions to the Pension Plan were made during the six months ended June 30, 2006, and the Company anticipates making its annual contribution in the third quarter of 2006. Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Forward-Looking Statements This discussion contains forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties. Words such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "targeted," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included herein will prove to be accurate. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: economic conditions (the Company and its bank operate in areas affected by various markets, including the tobacco market); competition for the Company's customers from other providers of financial and mortgage services; government legislation and regulation (which changes from time to time and over which the Company has no control); changes in interest rates (both generally and more specifically mortgage interest rates); material unforeseen changes in the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company's customers; and other risks detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. The Company undertakes no obligation to republish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Summary Kentucky Bancshares, Inc. recorded net income of $3.0 million, or $1.13 basic and $1.12 diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $2.8 million, or $1.06 basic and $1.05 diluted earnings for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The first six months earnings reflect an increase of 5.6% compared to the same time period in 2005. The earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $1.7 million, or $0.65 basic and $0.64 diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $1.5 million, or $0.56 basic earnings per share and $0.56 diluted earnings per share for the three month period ending June 30, 2005. This three months period earnings reflects an increase of 13.2% compared to the same time period in 2005. Return on average assets was 1.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 1.09% for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. Return on average equity was 12.8% for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 and 12.6% for the same period in 2005. Return on average assets was 1.23% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 1.23% for the three month period ended June 30, 2005. Return on average equity was 14.6% for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 and 14.2% for the same period in 2005. Loans increased $13.3 million from $370.9 million on December 31, 2005 to $384.2 million on June 30, 2006. Increases in real estate construction, real estate mortgage, agricultural and consumer loans were offset by a decrease in commercial loans. Management attributes the growth in loans primarily to the $11.7 million in lump-sum tobacco buyouts completed in January 2006. Total deposits decreased from $431.6 million on December 31, 2005 to $388.6 million on June 30, 2006, a decrease of $43.0 million, primarily the result of a decline in public fund deposits, reported in other interest bearing deposits. Net Interest Income Net interest income was $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of 4.4%. The interest spread was 3.30% for the first six months of 2006 compared to 3.46% for the same period in 2005, a decrease of 16 basis points. Net interest income was $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of 2.9%. The interest spread was 3.34% for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to 3.51% for the same period in 2005, a decrease of 17 basis points. Generally, the increasing interest rate environment and the increased cost related to public fund deposits have contributed to declining net interest margins in 2006 compared to 2005. For the first six months, the yield on assets increased from 5.64% in 2005 to 6.18% in 2006. The cost of liabilities increased from 2.18% in 2005 to 2.88% in 2006. Year to date average loans are up $18.9 million, or 5.2% from June 30, 2005 to June 30, 2006. Loan interest income has increased $1.9 million for the first six months of 2006 compared to the first six months of 2005. Year to date average deposits increased from June 30, 2005 to June 30, 2006, up $30.1 million, or 7.8%. Deposit interest expense has increased $2.0 million for the first six months of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Following the 2004 enactment of federal legislation to end the federal tobacco program and to compensate quota owners and producers, the Company offered tobacco quota owners and producers upfront, lump-sum payment buyouts ranging from 75% to 80% of the future stream of federal buyout payments during 2005. The Company made $11.7 million in lump-sum payments in January 2006 under successor in interest contracts. Similar types of buyouts are expected to continue over the next few years, but on a smaller scale. Starting in January 2006, these buyouts have generated additional net interest income. Non-Interest Income Non-interest income decreased $87 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 to $3.3 million. Increases in service charges of $98 thousand and trust department income (the collection of certain estate fees) of $102 thousand are offset by decreases in net gains (losses) on securities of $76 thousand, and gains on sale of premises of $84 thousand. The $129 thousand decrease in non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same time period in 2005 is mainly attributable to the decrease in net gains (losses) on securities and in gains on sale of premises mentioned above. Gain on sale of mortgage loans decreased $83 thousand during the first six months of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The decrease was $51 thousand for the three month period June 30, 2006 compared to the same time period in 2005. The volume of mortgage loan originations and sales is generally inverse to rate changes. The increasing rate environment has caused the originations of mortgage loans to be lower and the related gain on sale of mortgage loans to be lower in 2006 than in 2005. Non-Interest Expense Total non-interest expenses increased $53 thousand for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. For the three month period ended June 30, 2006, total non-interest expense decreased $226 thousand. For the comparable six month periods, salaries and benefits increased $148 thousand, an increase of 3.4%. Salaries represented $27 thousand and employee benefits represented $119 thousand of the increase in salaries and employee benefits expense during these comparable periods. Salaries and benefits increased $40 thousand for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Occupancy expenses decreased $43 thousand to $1.1 million for the first six months of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The decrease in 2006 is mainly attributable to a decrease in depreciation of $28 thousand compared to 2005. Occupancy expenses decreased $33 thousand for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Other expenses decreased $79 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same time period in 2005. This is mainly a result of a reduction of losses on other real estate and repossession expenses of $65 thousand, and other losses of $44 thousand. Income Taxes The tax equivalent rate for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was 29% compared to 25% in 2005. The tax equivalent rate for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was 28% compared to 29% in 2005. These rates are less than the statutory rate as a result of the tax-free securities and loans held by the Company. Recognizing the remainder of the net operating loss carryforward from the 2003 Cynthiana acquisition contributed to the lower rate in 2005. Stock Repurchase Program On October 25, 2000, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program. The Company is authorized to purchase up to 100,000 shares of its outstanding common stock. On November 11, 2002, the Board of Directors approved and authorized the Company's repurchase of an additional 100,000 shares. In August 2004, the Board of Directors approved and the Company repurchased 122,302 shares from a third-party shareholder. These shares were outside of the previously mentioned stock repurchase programs. Shares will be purchased from time to time in the open market depending on market prices and other considerations. Through June 30, 2006, 105,309 shares have been purchased. The most recent share repurchase occurred on October 31, 2005. The repurchase program has had a positive effect on earnings per share calculations. Liquidity and Funding Liquidity risk is the possibility that the Company may not be able to meet its cash requirements. Management of liquidity risk includes maintenance of adequate cash and sources of cash to fund operations and meeting the needs of borrowers, depositors and creditors. Excess liquidity has a negative impact on earnings as a result of the lower yields on short-term assets. Cash and cash equivalents were $14.9 million as of June 30, 2006 compared to $14.2 million at December 31, 2005. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the securities portfolio provides an important source of liquidity. Total securities available for sale totaled $125.5 million at June 30, 2006. The available for sale securities are available to meet liquidity needs on a continuing basis. The Company expects the customers' deposits to be adequate to meet its funding demands. Generally, the Company relies upon net cash inflows from financing activities, supplemented by net cash inflows from operating activities, to provide cash used in its investing activities. As is typical of many financial institutions, significant financing activities include deposit gathering, and the use of short-term borrowings, such as federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements along with long-term debt. The Company's primary investing activities include purchasing investment securities and loan originations. Management is aware of the challenge of funding sustained loan growth. Therefore, in addition to deposits, other sources of funds, such as Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances, may be used. The Company relies on FHLB advances for both liquidity and asset/liability management purposes. These advances are used primarily to fund long-term fixed rate residential mortgage loans. As of June 30, 2006, we have sufficient collateral to borrow an additional $27 million from the FHLB. In addition, as of June 30, 2006, over $48 million is available in overnight borrowing through various correspondent banks. In light of this, management believes there is sufficient liquidity to meet all reasonable borrower, depositor and creditor needs in the present economic environment. Non-Performing Assets As of June 30, 2006, the Company's non-performing loans totaled $1.2 million or 0.30% of loans compared to $1.0 million or 0.26% of loans at December 31, 2005. (See table below) The increase in non-accrual loans is attributable to an increase in the number of various real estate loans. Real estate loans composed 84% of the non-performing loans as of June 30, 2006 and 79% as of December 31, 2005. Forgone interest income on the non-accrual loans for both 2006 and 2005 is immaterial. Nonperforming Assets 6/30/06 12/31/05 (in thousands) Non-accrual Loans $ 1,137 $ 774 Accruing Loans which are Contractually past due 90 days or more 13 206 Total Nonperforming and Restructured 1,150 980 Other Real Estate 176 141 Total Nonperforming and Restructured Loans and Other Real Estate $ 1,326 $ 1,121 Nonperforming and Restructured Loans as a Percentage of Loans 0.30% 0.26% Nonperforming and Restructured Loans and Other Real Estate as a Percentage of Total Assets 0.24% 0.20% Provision for Loan Losses The loan loss provision for the first six months was $240 thousand for 2006 and $416 thousand for 2005. The loan loss provision for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $108 thousand and $166 thousand for the same time period in 2005. The continuing lower levels of nonperforming loans has allowed management to decrease the 2006 provision in order to maintain an allowance for loan losses that is representative of the risk of loss based on the quality of loans currently in the portfolio. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Net charge-offs for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 were $142 thousand compared to $148 thousand for the same period in 2005. Net charge-offs for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 were $93 thousand compared to $62 thousand for the same period in 2005. Future levels of charge-offs will be determined by the particular facts and circumstances surrounding individual loans. Management believes the current loan loss allowance is sufficient to meet probable incurred loan losses.

Management considers interest rate risk to be the most significant market risk. The Company's exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the Asset/Liability Committee. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximize income. Management realizes certain risks are inherent and that the goal is to identify and minimize the risks. The primary tool used by management is an interest rate shock simulation model. The Bank has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes. The following table depicts the change in net interest income resulting from 100 and 300 basis point changes in rates on the Company's interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The projections are based on balance sheet growth assumptions and repricing opportunities for new, maturing and adjustable rate amounts. As of June 30, 2006 the projected percentage changes are within the Board approved limits. This period's volatility is lower when compared to the same period a year ago. The projected net interest income report summarizing the Company's interest rate sensitivity as of June 30, 2006 is as follows: (dollars in thousands) PROJECTED NET INTEREST INCOME Level Change in basis points: - 300 - 100 Rates + 100 + 300 Year One (7/06 - 6/07) Interest Income $31,812 $32,578 $33,728 $34,918 $35,794 Interest Expense 15,220 15,810 16,586 17,488 18,082 Net Interest Income 16,592 16,768 17,142 17,430 17,712 PROJECTED DOLLAR INCREASE (DECREASE) FROM "LEVEL RATES" Year One (7/06 - 6/07) Interest Income $(1,916) $(1,150) N/A $ 1,190 $ 2,066 Interest Expense (1,366) (776) N/A 902 1,496 Net Interest Income (550) (374) N/A 288 570 PROJECTED PERCENTAGE INCREASE (DECREASE) FROM "LEVEL RATES" Year One (7/06 - 6/07) Interest Income -5.7% -3.4% N/A 3.5% 6.1% Interest Expense -8.2% -4.7% N/A 5.4% 9.0% Net Interest Income -3.2% -2.2% N/A 1.7% 3.3% Board approved limit >-18.0% >-6.0% N/A >-4.0% >-10.0% The projected net interest income report summarizing the Company's interest rate sensitivity as of June 30, 2005 is as follows: (dollars in thousands) PROJECTED NET INTEREST INCOME Level Change in basis points: - 300 - 100 Rates + 100 + 300 Year One (7/05 - 6/06) Interest Income $ 24,106 $ 27,856 $ 29,734 $ 31,551 $ 35,029 Interest Expense 9,150 10,704 11,825 12,945 15,186 Net Interest Income 14,956 17,152 17,909 18,606 19,843 PROJECTED DOLLAR INCREASE (DECREASE) FROM "LEVEL RATES" Year One (7/05 - 6/06) Interest Income $ (5,628) $ (1,878) N/A $ 1,817 $ 5,295 Interest Expense (2,675) (1,121) N/A 1,120 3,361 Net Interest Income (2,953) (757) N/A 697 1,934 PROJECTED PERCENTAGE INCREASE (DECREASE) FROM "LEVEL RATES" Year One (7/05 - 6/06) Interest Income -18.9% -6.3% N/A 6.1% 17.8% Interest Expense -22.6% -9.5% N/A 9.5% 28.4% Net Interest Income -16.5% -4.2% N/A 3.9% 10.8% Board approved limit >-18.0% >-6.0% N/A >-4.0% >-10.0% These projected changes in net interest income as of June 30, 2006 are less when compared to the projected changes in net interest income as of June 30, 2005. Projections from June 30, 2006, year one reflected a decline in net interest income of 2.2% with a 100 basis point decline compared to the 4.2% decline in 2005. The 300 basis point increase in rates reflected a 3.3% increase in net interest income in 2006 compared to 10.8% in 2005.
