5.	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:

common stock were not considered in computing earnings per share because
they were 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; 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.

7.	Dividends per share paid for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 were $0.19
compared to $0.17 for June 30, 2002.  This is the same rate of dividend
paid for the first quarters of the respective years.

8. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently issued two new
accounting standards, Statement 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and Statement 150,
Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both
Liabilities and Equities, both of which generally become effective in the
quarter beginning July 1, 2003.  Management determined that, upon adopting
the new standards, they will not materially affect the Company's operating
results or financial condition (because the Company does not have these
instruments or engage in these
activities).




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.

Recent Developments

On July 8, 2003, Bourbon Bancshares, Inc. and Kentucky First Bancorp, Inc.,
announced the execution of a definitive agreement providing for the Company's
acquisition of Kentucky First Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First
Federal Savings Bank.  The transaction, approved by directors of both
companies, provides for Bourbon Bancshares to pay Kentucky First Bancorp
stockholders $23.25 in cash per share of common stock.  Total cash
consideration paid by the Company in the transaction is expected to be
approximately $23.5 million.  The transaction is expected to close in the
fourth quarter of 2003, subject to regulatory approvals and the approval of
the stockholders of Kentucky First Bancorp.

Effective July 15, 2003, the Company changed its name from Bourbon Bancshares,
Inc. to Kentucky Bancshares, Inc.

Summary

Kentucky Bancshares, Inc. recorded net income of $2.4 million, or $0.85 basic
earnings per share and $0.84 diluted earnings per share for the first six
months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $2.5 million, or $0.91 basic earnings
per share and $0.90 diluted earnings per share for the six month period ending
June 30, 2002.  The first six months reflects a decrease in net income per
share of 6.6% compared to the first six months of the prior year.  For the
three month period ending June 30, 2003, net income was $1.2 million ($0.42
basic earnings and diluted earnings per share) compared to $1.2 million ($0.44
basic earnings and diluted earnings per share) for the same period in 2002.
This was a decrease in earnings per share of 4.5%.



Return on average assets was 1.14% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and
1.27% for the same time period in 2002, a decrease of 10%.  Return on average
assets was 1.14% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 1.22%
for the same time period in 2002, a decrease of 7%.  Return on average equity
was 10.5% for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 and 12.6% for the same
period in 2002.  Return on average equity was 10.4% and 12.1% for the three
months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Loans decreased $1.1 million from $284.1 million on December 31, 2002 to
$283.0 million on June 30, 2003.  An increase of $8.2 million in real estate
mortgage loans was offset by a decrease in real estate construction,
commercial and consumer loans.  Management attributes the decrease in loans
primarily to the sluggish economy.  The decreased loan demand has contributed
to decreases in net interest income.

Total deposits decreased from $322.8 million on December 31, 2002 to $305.3
million on June 30, 2003, a decrease of $17.5 million.  The decrease is mainly
attributable to time deposits of $100,000 and more decreasing $9.0 million and
other interest bearing deposits decreasing $11.9 million.  This decrease was
partially offset by an increase in non-interest bearing deposits of $3.5
million.  The decline in total deposits is primarily attributable to our
decision to be less aggressive in our deposit gathering activities in light of
softening loan demand.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003
and $7.5 million for the six months ending June 30, 2002, resulting in a
decrease of $148 thousand.  Net interest income was $3.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2003 and $3.8 million for the three months ended June
30, 2002, resulting in a decrease of $99 thousand.  The interest spread was
3.70% for the first six months of 2003 compared to 3.88% for the same period
in 2002, a decrease of 17 basis points.  On June 27, 2003, the Federal Reserve
lowered short term interest rates another 25 basis points.  The low interest
rates have contributed to tighter net interest margins.

For the first six months, the yield on assets decreased from 6.72% in 2002 to
5.86% in 2003.  The cost of liabilities decreased from 2.84% in 2002 to 2.17%
in 2003.  Year to date average loans are up $8.6 million, or 3.1% from June
30, 2002 to June 30, 2003.  Loan interest income has decreased $952 thousand
for the first six months of 2003 compared to the first six months of 2002,
primarily due to increased loan originations and loan refinances at lower
rates.  Year to date average deposits also increased from June 30, 2002 to
June 30, 2003, up $12.5 million, or 4.0%.  Deposit interest expense has
decreased $1.0 million for the first six months of 2003 compared to the same
period in 2002, primarily due to lower rates.

For the three months ended June 30, the yield on assets decreased from 6.65%
in 2002 to 5.86% in 2003.  The cost of liabilities decreased from 2.71% in
2002 to 2.11% in 2003, primarily due to the decrease in rates.  Loan interest
income has decreased $444 thousand for three months ended June 30, 2003
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2002.  Deposit interest expense
has decreased $481 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2003
compared to the same time period in 2002.



The declining rate environment in recent years has resulted in tighter margins
in 2002 and 2003.  However, these tighter margins have been partially offset
with balance sheet growth, resulting in net interest income remaining
relatively level for the first six months of 2003 compared to the same period
in 2002.  The banking industry continues to battle competition for loan and
deposit dollars, and this trend is expected to continue.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income increased $437 thousand for the six month period ended
June 30, 2003 from $2.9 million to $3.4 million.  Non-interest income
increased $98 thousand for the three month period ended June 30, 2003 compared
to the same time period in 2002.  An increase of $162 thousand in service
charges from the first six months of 2002 to the comparable 2003 period is
mainly attributable to an increase in checking overdraft charges of $136
thousand (the increase was $82 thousand for the three month period ended June
30, 2003 compared to June 30, 2002).  Overdraft income increased principally
due to the increased utilization of a "Kentucky Courtesy" overdraft program.
This non-contractual program is applied to qualified accounts, and is an
overdraft protection program whereby the Company may, but is not obligated to,
pay checks up to a pre-determined limit.

Gain on sale of mortgage loans increased $362 thousand during the first six
months of 2003 compared to the same 2002 period (the three month period ended
June 30, 2003 increase was $152 thousand compared to the same time period in
2002).  Decreasing rates result in an increase in loan originations and
refinances.  Volume of loan originations and sales are inverse to rate
changes.  The low level of loan rates have resulted in the gain from the sale
of mortgage loans increasing during the six month period ending June 30, 2003
compared to the same period in 2002.  The stabilizing or increasing of
interest rates is expected to cause the income from the sale of loans to be
lower in future periods than in the first six months of 2003.

Non-Interest Expense

The increase of $861 thousand in non-interest expenses from $6.1 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 to $6.9 million for the same period in 2003
was a result of several factors.  For the three month period ended June 30,
2003, total non-interest expenses increased $398 thousand to $3.5 million in
2003.  Salaries and benefits increased $439 thousand for the first six months
of 2003 compared to 2002, an increase of 13%.  The increase is due to annual
salary increases, and increased number of employees.  In addition, A market
salary adjustment was made effective January 1, 2003.  Employee benefits
represented $137 thousand of the increase in salaries and employee benefits
expense during these comparable periods.

Other expenses increased $224 thousand to $1.5 million for the first six
months of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002.  Legal and professional
costs have increased $138 thousand.  On July 8, 2003, the Company announced
that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Kentucky First Bancorp, Inc.
of Cynthiana, Kentucky.  Merger related legal and consulting fees have
amounted to over $60 thousand through the period ended June 30, 2003 (see
Exhibit 2 for details of this merger).  In addition, consulting fees related
to salary reviews, and legal fees related to loan collections account for the
remainder of this increase.



Income Taxes

The tax equivalent rate for the six months ended June 30 was 28% for 2003 and
30% for 2002.  The tax equivalent rate for the three months ended June 30 was
28% for 2003 and 30% for 2002.  These rates are less than the statutory rate
as a result of the tax-free securities and loans held by the Company.

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.  Shares will be purchased from time to time in the
open market depending on market prices and other considerations.  Through June
30, 2003, 84,333 shares have been purchased.  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 $11.0 million as of June 30, 2003 compared to
$29.2 million at December 31, 2002.  The decrease in cash and cash equivalents
is mainly attributable to a decrease in federal funds sold.  In addition to
cash and cash equivalents, the securities portfolio provides an important
source of liquidity.  Total investment securities available for sale totaled
$89.9 million at June 30, 2003.  The available for sale securities are
available to meet liquidity needs on a continuing basis.  The Company
maintains a relatively stable base of customer deposits, which is expected 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 currently evaluating its
opportunities to raise capital to fund continued growth and development of the
business.  Management believes there is sufficient cash flow from operations
to meet investing and liquidity needs related to reasonable borrower,
depositor and creditor needs in the present economic environment.

Management is aware of the potential problem 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, 2003, we have sufficient collateral to borrow an
additional $41 million from the FHLB.  In addition, as of June 30, 2003, over
$55 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, 2003, the Company's non-performing loans totaled $1.7 million
or 0.6% of loans compared to $2.4 million or 0.8% of loans at December 31,
2002.  (See table below)  The decrease in non-accrual loans is mainly
attributable to the charge-off amounting to $481 thousand for a large
commercial loan customer with indebtedness of $750 thousand.  Real estate
loans composed 70% and 65% of the non-performing loans as of June 30, 2003 and
December 31, 2002, respectively.  Forgone interest income on the non-accrual
loans for both 2003 and 2002 is immaterial.

Provision for Loan Losses

The first six months 2003 provision for loan losses of $450 thousand is lower
than the comparable 2002 period by $252 thousand.  The June 30, 2003 three
month provision of $225 thousand is lower than the three month provision for
the period ended June 30, 2002 by $276 thousand.  An increase in nonperforming
loans required management to increase the provision in 2002 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.  Net charge-
offs for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 were $804 thousand compared
to $248 thousand for the same time period in 2002.  Net charge-offs for the
three month period ending June 30, 2003 were $622 thousand compared to $129
thousand for the same period in 2002.  The charged-off commercial loan
mentioned previously was reserved for in prior periods, and is the main reason
for the amount of charge-offs this period.  Future levels of charge-offs will
be determined by the economic environment surrounding individual loans.
Management feels the current loan loss reserve is sufficient to meet 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, 2003 the projected percentage changes
are within the Board approved limits, except for the "- 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.  In this scenario, the net interest
income changes are outside the Board approved limit, and are monitored by the
Board on a monthly basis.  In addition, management has made some
asset/liability decisions that would take advantage of rising interest rates.
Therefore, the Company currently has more volatility to changing rates than
existing a year ago.  The projected net interest income report summarizing the
Company's interest rate sensitivity as of June 30, 2003 is as follows:

These projected changes in net interest income as of June 30, 2003 are
greater when compared to the projected changes in net interest income as of
June 30, 2002.  Projections from June 30, 2003, year one reflected a decline
in net interest income of 3.6% with a 100 basis point decline compared to the
1.1% decline in 2002.  The 300 basis point increase in rates reflected a 10.9%
increase in net interest income in 2003 compared to 3.6% in 2002.  Percentage
changes in 2003 are greater when compared to 2002.  Therefore, changes in
interest rates should have a larger effect on net interest income.
