KENTUCKY BANCSHARES, INC.
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, 2004.

4.	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.

ended June 30, 2005 and for 11,750 shares of common stock for the six and
three months ended June 30, 2004 were excluded from diluted earnings per
share because their impact was antidilutive.




5.	 Stock Compensation

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

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

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

Forward-Looking Statements

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

June 30, 2005 and 1.20% for the three month period ended June 30, 2004.
Return on average equity was 14.2% for the three month period ended June 30,
2005 and 13.7% for the same period in 2004.

Loans increased $8.5 million from $358.3 million on December 31, 2004 to
$366.8 million on June 30, 2005.  Increases in commercial, real estate
mortgage and agricultural loans were offset by a decrease in real estate
construction and consumer loans.  Management attributes the improved growth in
loans primarily to the improving economy.

Total deposits decreased from $388.0 million on December 31, 2004 to $385.0
million on June 30, 2005, a decrease of $3.0 million, primarily the result of
general competition for deposits.  The decrease is mainly attributable to a
decrease in non-interest bearing deposits of $4.2 million and time deposits
($100,000 and over) of $4.6 million, offset by an increase in other interest
bearing deposits of $5.8 million.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005
compared to $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase
of 3.2%.  The interest spread was 3.46% for the first six months of 2005
compared to 3.41% for the same period in 2004, an increase of 5 basis points.
Generally, the increasing interest rate environment has contributed to
improved net interest margins in the first six months of 2005 compared to
2004.  For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the net interest income was
$4.4 million compared to $4.3 million for the same time period in 2004.  The
interest spread was 3.51% for the three month period ended June 30, 2005
compared to 3.44% for the same period in 2004, an increase of 7 basis points.

For the first six months, the yield on assets increased from 5.26% in 2004 to
5.64% in 2005.  The cost of liabilities increased from 1.86% in 2004 to 2.18%
in 2005.  Year to date average loans are up $36.5 million, or 11.2% from June
30, 2004 to June 30, 2005.  Loan interest income has increased $1.5 million
for the first six months of 2005 compared to the first six months of 2004.
Year to date average deposits decreased from June 30, 2004 to June 30, 2005,
down $7.2 million, or 1.9%.  Deposit interest expense has increased $488
thousand for the first six months of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.

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

During the first quarter of 2004, the Company determined that it was in its
best interest to purchase additional investment securities.  The Company
implemented leverage strategies amounting to $30 million.  Investments were
purchased and funded by repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank
advances.  These strategies have added $112 thousand to net income before
taxes for the first six months of 2005, and $185 thousand for the first six
months of 2004.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income increased $50 thousand for the six months ended June 30,
2005 compared to the same period in 2004 to $3.4 million, due primarily to an
increase in trust department income of $68 thousand from the collection of
certain estate fees and a gain on sale of premises of $83 thousand.  A
decrease of $22 thousand in service charges from the first six months of 2004
to the comparable 2005 period is mainly attributable to a decrease in checking
overdraft charges of $38 thousand.  The $58 thousand increase in non-interest
income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in
2004 is mainly attributable to the trust fees and sale of real estate
mentioned previously.

Gain on sale of mortgage loans decreased $51 thousand during the first six
months of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.  For the three month
period ended June 30, 2005, gain on sale of mortgage loans decreased $46
thousand compared to the same period in 2004.  The volume of mortgage loan
originations and sales is inverse to rate changes.  The stabilizing of long
term interest rates, along with the significant decrease in refinancing
activity, has caused the gain on sale of mortgage loans to be lower in 2005
than in 2004.

Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expenses increased $117 thousand for the six month period
ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.  For the three month
period ended June 30, 2005, total non-interest expenses increased $122
thousand compared to the same three month period in 2004.

For the comparable six month periods, salaries and benefits increased $199
thousand, an increase of 5%.  Salaries represented $96 thousand, incentives
represented $74 thousand and employee benefits represented $29 thousand of the
increase in salaries and employee benefits expense during these comparable
periods.  Salaries and employee benefits increased $89 thousand for the three
month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.  The
reduction of part time hours and the salary reduction of the current Chairman,
who was the previous President and CEO, helped limit the base salaries
increase for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to 3% when compared to 2004.

Occupancy expenses decreased $9 thousand to $1.1 million for the first six
months of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.  The decrease in 2005 is
mainly attributable to a decrease in depreciation of $73 thousand compared to
2004, offset by an increase of $62 thousand in repairs and maintenance on
buildings and equipment.  Occupancy expenses increased $10 thousand for the
three month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.

Amortization decreased for the first six months of 2005 compared to 2004 by
$123 thousand, and decreased $62 thousand for the three month period ended
June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004, mainly from the deposit
premium from a previous acquisition being fully amortized in 2004.

Other expenses increased $2 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2005
compared to the same time period in 2004.  Losses on foreclosed property of
$53 thousand are offset primarily from the decrease in repossession expenses
of $40 thousand and fraud losses of $9 thousand.  Other expenses increased $61
thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same time
period in 2004.

Income Taxes

The tax equivalent rate for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 25%
compared to 27% in 2004.  The tax equivalent rate for the three months ended
June 30, 2005 was 28% compared to 29% in 2004.  These rates are less than the
statutory rate as a result of the tax-free securities and loans held by the
Company.  Recognizing the remainder of the net operating loss carryforward
from the Cynthiana acquisition in 2003 also contributed to the lower rate in
2005.

Stock Repurchase Program

On October 25, 2000, the Company announced that its Board of Directors
approved a stock repurchase program.  The Company is authorized to purchase up
to 100,000 shares of its outstanding common stock.  On November 11, 2002, the
Board of Directors approved and authorized the Company's repurchase of an
additional 100,000 shares.  In August 2004, the Board of Directors approved
and the Company repurchased 122,302 shares from a third-party shareholder.
These shares were outside of the previously mentioned stock repurchase
programs.   Shares will be purchased from time to time in the open market
depending on market prices and other considerations.  Through June 30, 2005,
89,542 shares have been purchased, with the most recent share repurchase
having occurred on July 25, 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 $11.2 million as of June 30, 2005 compared to
$15.5 million at December 31, 2004.  The decrease in cash and cash equivalents
is mainly attributable to a decrease in federal funds sold and the
correspondent bank balances as of the last day of the quarter.  In addition to
cash and cash equivalents, the securities portfolio provides an important
source of liquidity.  Total securities available for sale totaled $120.4
million at June 30, 2005.  The available for sale securities are available to
meet liquidity needs on a continuing basis.  The Company expects the
customers' deposits to be adequate to meet its funding demands.

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

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

Management is aware of the challenge of funding sustained loan growth.
Therefore, in addition to deposits, other sources of funds, such as Federal
Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances, may be used.  The Company relies on FHLB
advances for both liquidity and asset/liability management purposes.  These
advances are used primarily to fund long-term fixed rate residential mortgage
loans.  As of June 30, 2005, we have sufficient collateral to borrow an
additional $33 million from the FHLB.  In addition, as of June 30, 2005, over
$53 million is available in overnight borrowing through various correspondent
banks.  In light of this, management believes there is sufficient liquidity to
meet all reasonable borrower, depositor and creditor needs in the present
economic environment.

Non-Performing Assets

As of June 30, 2005, the Company's non-performing loans totaled $1.8 million
or 0.49% of loans compared to $2.1 million or 0.58% of loans at December 31,
2004.  (See table below)  The changes in non-accrual loans and in accruing
loans past due 90 days or more are attributable to various smaller consumer
and real estate loans.  Real estate loans composed 74% of the non-performing
loans as of June 30, 2005 and 84% as of December 31, 2004.  Forgone interest
income on the non-accrual loans for both 2005 and 2004 is immaterial.

Provision for Loan Losses

The loan loss provision for the first six months was $416 thousand for 2005
and $450 thousand for 2004.  The loan loss provision for the three months
ended June 30, 2005 was $166 thousand and $195 thousand for the same time
period in 2004.  A decrease in nonperforming loans and the lower level of net
charge-offs have caused management to decrease the 2005 provision in order to
maintain an allowance for loan losses that is representative of the risk of
loss based on the quality of loans currently in the portfolio.  Management
estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the
nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower
situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other
factors.  Net charge-offs for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 were
$149 thousand compared to $177 thousand for the same period in 2004.  Net
charge-offs for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 were $63 thousand
compared to $39 thousand for the same period in 2004.   Future levels of
charge-offs will be determined by the particular facts and circumstances
surrounding individual loans.  Management believes the current loan loss
reserve is sufficient to meet probable incurred loan losses.

Item 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

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

The following table depicts the change in net interest income resulting from
100 and 300 basis point changes in rates on the Company's interest earning
assets and interest bearing liabilities.  The projections are based on balance
sheet growth assumptions and repricing opportunities for new, maturing and
adjustable rate amounts.  As of June 30, 2005 the projected percentage changes
are within the Board approved limits, except for the "-100" and "- 300".  In
the "- 300" scenario, most of the rates used in the model cannot decline 300
basis points because of the current low level of rates.  The Company is also
slightly outside the Board approved limit in the "-100" environment.  In these
scenarios, the net interest income changes are outside the Board approved
limit for such net interest income changes, and are monitored by and reported
to the Board on a monthly basis.  This period's volatility is comparable to
the same period a year ago.  The projected net interest income report
summarizing the Company's interest rate sensitivity as of June 30, 2005 is as
follows:
