KENTUCKY BANCSHARES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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, 2007.

New accounting pronouncements -

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.
This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This
Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to
measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a
restriction on the sale or use of an asset.  The Statement is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The impact of adoption on
January 1, 2008 was not material.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.  The Statement provides
companies with an option to report selected financial assets and
liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure
requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that
choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and
liabilities.  The new Statement is effective for the Company on January 1,
2008.  The Company did not elect the fair value option for any financial
assets or financial liabilities as of January 1, 2008.



The Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes ("FIN 48"), as of January 1, 2007.  A tax position is
recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax
position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination
being presumed to occur.  The amount recognized is the largest amount of
tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on
examination.  For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not"
test, no tax benefit is recorded.  The adoption had no effect on the
Company's financial statements, and the Company had no unrecognized tax
benefits at December 31, 2007 or June 30, 2008.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax.
The Company is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for
years before 2002.  The Company does not expect the total amount of
unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase in the next twelve
months.

The Company recognizes interest related to income tax matters as interest
expense and penalties related to income tax matters as other expense.  The
Company did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at
December 31, 2007 or June 30, 2008.

ended June 30, 2008, and for 10,035 shares of common stock for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 were excluded from diluted earnings per share
because their impact was antidilutive.


5.	 STOCK COMPENSATION

The Company has two share based compensation plans as described below.

Stock Option Plan

The Company grants certain officers and key employees stock option awards
which vest and become fully exercisable at the end of five years and
provides for issue of up to 220,000 options.  The Company also grants
certain directors stock option awards which vest and become fully
exercisable immediately and provides for issue of up to 20,000 options.  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 fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using
a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the
assumptions noted in the table below.  Expected volatilities are based on
historical volatilities of the Company's common stock.  The Company uses
historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination
behavior.  The expected term of options granted is based on historical data
and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be
outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not
transferable.  The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the
option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of
the grant.

The fair value of options granted was determined using the following
weighted-average assumptions as of grant date.

                                                2008           2007
     Weighted-average fair value of options
       granted during the year                 $2.38          $4.22
     Risk-free interest rate                    2.96%          4.51%
     Expected option life                     8 years        8 years
     Expected stock price volatility           11.05%         12.69%
     Expected dividend yield                    3.61%          3.48%


Summary of activity in the stock option plan for the six months ended June
30, 2008 follows:
                                                       Weighted

Forfeited or expired               (2,020)   28.40

Outstanding, end of period         50,849    28.58   60.7 months  $64,532

Vested and expected to vest        50,849    28.58   60.7 months   64,532

Options exercisable at period end  42,159    28.06   57.5 months   64,532

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 $68 thousand in stock
compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2008 to salaries
and employee benefits.



Stock Grant Plan

stock grant plan.  Total shares issuable under the plan are 50,000.  A
summary of changes in the Company's nonvested shares for the year follows:

Summary

Kentucky Bancshares, Inc. recorded net income of $2.7 million, or $.95 basic
earnings and diluted earnings per share for the first six months ending June
30, 2008 compared to $3.5 million, or $1.22 basic earnings per share and $1.21
diluted earnings per share for the six month period ending June 30, 2007.  The
first six months earnings reflects a decrease of 23.0% compared to the same
time period in 2007, due primarily to an increase in the loan loss provision
of $580 thousand and an increase in other expenses of $668 thousand.  These
increases in expenses were somewhat offset by a reduction in income tax
expense of $535 thousand.  The earnings for the three months ended June 30,
2008 were $1.5 million, or $.53 basic and diluted earnings per share for the
three month period ending June 30, 2008 compared to $1.9 million, or $.67
basic and diluted earnings per share for the three month period ending June
30, 2007.  This three months period earnings reflects a decrease of 22.5%
compared to the same time period in 2007.

Return on average assets was 0.85% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and
1.08% for the six month period ended June 30, 2007.  Return on average assets
was .94% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 1.20% for the three
month period ended June 30, 2007.  Return on average equity was 9.1% for the
six month period ended June 30, 2008 and 12.3% for the same period in 2007.
Return on average equity was 10.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2008
and 13.6% for the same time period in 2007.

Loans increased $1.4 million from $417.4 million on December 31, 2007 to
$418.8 million on June 30, 2008.  Decreases in commercial & real estate
construction loans were offset by an increase in real estate mortgage,
agricultural & consumer loans.

Total deposits decreased from $486.0 million on December 31, 2007 to $455.2
million on June 30, 2008, a decrease of $30.8 million.  This decrease is
primarily the result of a decrease in interest bearing deposit accounts less
than $100 thousand.  Management attributes the decrease mainly to increased
competition for deposits.  As a result of this, management has utilized other
lower costing funding sources, such as Federal Home Loan Bank advances.



Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $9.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008
compared to $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease
of 1.8%.  The interest spread was 3.32% for the first six months of 2008
comparable to 3.31% for the same period in 2007, an increase of 1 basis point.
Net interest income was $5.0 million for the three month period ending June
30, 2008 compared to $5.1 million for the three month period ending June 30,
2007, a decrease of 2.1%.  The interest spread was 3.38% for the three month
period ending June 30, 2008 compared to 3.36% for the three month period in
2007, an increase of 2 basis points.  Net interest margins have thus far
remained steady in 2008.  The net interest spread during the second quarter of
2008 was lowered, primarily due to interest income that was placed into non-
accrual status.

For the first six months, the yield on assets decreased from 6.68% in 2007 to
6.15% in 2008.  The cost of liabilities decreased from 3.37% in 2007 to 2.83%
in 2008.  Year to date average loans are down $27.0 million, or 6.1% from June
30, 2007 to June 30, 2008.  Loan interest income has decreased $2.0 million
for the first six months of 2008 compared to the first six months of 2007.
Year to date average deposits decreased from June 30, 2007 to June 30, 2008,
down $6.5 million or 1.3%.  The slight decrease is primarily the result of a
decline in interest bearing deposits less than $100 thousand during the second
quarter.  The decline in interest bearing deposit accounts was offset slightly
with an increase in non-interest bearing deposits.  Deposit interest expense
has decreased $1.5 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to the
same period in 2007.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income increased $98 thousand for the six months ended June 30,
2008 compared to the same period in 2007 to $4.0 million, due primarily to a
decrease in service charges of $213 thousand offset by an increase in other
non-interest income of $222 thousand.  The decrease in service charges was
primarily from a decrease in overdraft income of $251 thousand for the first
six months of 2008.  The other non-interest income increase was primarily due
to an increase in brokerage income of $141 thousand and an increase of $75
thousand in debit card interchange income.  The $32 thousand decrease in non-
interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to same time
period in 2007 is primarily due to a decrease in service charges of $99
thousand.

Gain on sale of mortgage loans increased from $210 thousand in the first six
months of 2007 to $278 thousand during the first six months of 2008.  For the
three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same time period in 2007, the
gain on sale of mortgage loans decreased $27 thousand.  The volume of mortgage
loan originations and sales is generally inverse to rate changes.  A change in
the mortgage loan rate environment can have a significant impact on the
related gain on sale of mortgage loans.

Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expenses increased $668 thousand for the six month period
ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.  For the three month
period ended June 30, 2008, total non-interest expense increased $253
thousand.

For the comparable six month periods, salaries and benefits decreased $152
thousand, a decrease of 2.8%.  Incentives decreased $309 thousand, due to the
lower level of net income reported by the Company.  Salaries & benefits
decreased $25 thousand for the three month period ending June 30, 2008
compared to the same time period in 2007.



Occupancy expenses increased $135 thousand to $1,378 thousand for the first
six months of 2008 compared to the same time period in 2007.  Occupancy
expenses increased $34 thousand for the three month period ended June 30, 2008
compared to the same time period in 2007.  The increase in year to date 2008
is mainly attributable to two additional facilities; the first being opened in
the fourth quarter of 2007 and the second being opened during the first
quarter of 2008.  The relocation of the Nicholasville branch, scheduled to be
complete in the fourth quarter of 2008, is expected to result in a slight
increase in occupancy expense starting in the first quarter of 2009.

Other expenses increased $689 thousand for the first six months ended June
30, 2008 compared to the same time period in 2007.  For the three month period
ended June 30, 2008 other expenses increased $260 thousand compared to the
three month period ended June 30, 2007.  The year to date increase is mainly a
result of an increase of data processing fees of $351 thousand, an increase in
ATM & debit card processing of $99 thousand, and an increase in legal and
professional fees of $76 thousand.  In August 2007, the Company started
outsourcing its account processing to Fiserv, Inc. causing the data processing
to be more in 2008 compared to 2007.  The increase in ATM and debit card
processing is a result of more customer usage.  Higher legal and professional
fees are mainly a result of outsourcing loan review, loan collection costs and
other corporate matters.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 22.4%
compared to 27.3% in 2007.  The effective tax rate for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 was 23.5% compared to 28.1% for the three month period ended
June 30, 2007.  These rates are less than the statutory rate as a result of
the tax-free securities and loans held by the Company.  The rates for 2008 are
lower due to the lower level of income for 2008.  Nontaxable interest income
increased $244 thousand for the first six months of 2008 compared to the same
time period in 2007.

Stock Repurchase Program

On October 25, 2000, the Company announced that its Board of Directors
approved a stock repurchase program 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.  On May 20, 2008, the Board of Directors approved and authorized the
Company to repurchase 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, 2008 245,921 shares have been purchased
under the program.  The most recent share repurchase occurred on July 29,
2008.  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 to meet 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 $15.3 million as of June 30, 2008 compared to
$25.8 million at December 31, 2007.  The decrease in cash and cash equivalents
is mainly attributable to a decrease in federal funds sold resulting primarily
from a decrease in deposits and also an increase in the Company's security
portfolio.  In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the securities portfolio
provides an important source of liquidity.  Securities available for sale
totaled $161.0 million at June 30, 2008.  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.  In early July 2008, the Company received deposits from being the
successful bidder on $20 million in public deposits.  These deposits will roll
off over the next 12 months.  As of June 30, 2008, we have sufficient
collateral to borrow an additional $7 million from the FHLB.  In addition, as
of June 30, 2008, over $37 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, 2008, the Company's non-performing loans totaled $10.1 million
or 2.40% of loans compared to $6.5 million or 1.57% of loans at December 31,
2007.  (See table below)  The Company experienced an increase of $2.5 million
in non-accrual loans from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008, mainly due to
some large dollar commercial loans being reclassified as non-accrual during
the second quarter.  As of June 30, 2008, non-accrual loans include $2.0
million in loans secured by 1-4 family residential real estate, $2.3 million
in real estate construction and $4.0 million in loans secured by non-farm non-
residential properties.  Real estate loans composed 99% of the non-performing
loans as of June 30, 2008 and 98% as of December 31, 2007.  Forgone interest
income on the non-accrual loans was $312 thousand for the first six months of
2008 compared to $156 thousand for the same time period in 2007.

Provision for Loan Losses

The loan loss provision for the first six months was $900 thousand for 2008
and $320 thousand for the same period in 2007.  The loan loss provision for
the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $500 thousand and $170 thousand for
the same period in 2007.  The current level of nonperforming loans has caused
management to increase the 2008 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, 2008 were $385 thousand
compared to $355 thousand for the same period in 2007.  Net charge-offs for
the three month period ended June 30, 2008 were $197 thousand compared to $257
thousand during the same time period in 2007.  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.

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 tools used by management are
interest rate shock and economic value of equity (EVE) simulations.  The
Company has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes.

Using interest rate shock simulations, 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,
2008 the projected percentage changes are within the Board approved limits.
This period's volatility is higher in each rate shock in a falling rate
environment when compared to the same period a year ago.  In a rising rate
environment, there is little change in the projected net interest income
volatility between the two periods.  The projected net interest income report
summarizing the Company's interest rate sensitivity as of June 30, 2008 is as
follows:

(dollars in thousands)

PROJECTED NET INTEREST INCOME
                                                       Level
Rate Change:                          - 300   - 100    Rates  + 100   + 300

Year One  (7/08 - 6/09)

Net interest income                   23,304  24,135  25,061  25,481  25,816
Net interest income dollar change     (1,757)   (926)    N/A     420     755
Net interest income percentage change   -7.0%   -3.7%    N/A     1.7%    3.0%

Board approved limit                  >-10.0%  >-4.0%    N/A   >-4.0%  >-10.0%


The projected net interest income report summarizing the Company's interest
rate sensitivity as June 30, 2007 is as follows:

PROJECTED NET INTEREST INCOME
(dollars in thousands)
                                                      Level
Change in basis points:               - 300   - 100   Rates   + 100   + 300

Year One  (7/07 - 6/08)

Net interest income                   22,916  23,368  23,831  24,181  24,563
Net interest income dollar change       (915)   (463)    N/A     350     732
Net interest income percentage change   -3.8%   -1.9%    N/A     1.5%    3.1%

   Limitation on % Change             >-10.0%  >-4.0%    N/A   >-4.0%  >-10.0%



Projections from June 30, 2008, year one reflected a decline in net interest
income of 3.7% with a 100 basis point decline compared to the 1.9% decline in
2007.  The 100 basis point increase in rates reflected a 1.7% increase in net
interest income in 2008 compared to 1.5% in 2007.

EVE applies discounting techniques to future cash flows to determine the
present value of assets, liabilities, and therefore equity.  Based on applying
these techniques to the June 30, 2008 balance sheet, a 300 basis point
increase in rates results in a 21% decline in EVE.  A 300 basis point decrease
in rates results in a 19% increase in EVE.  These are within the Board
approved limits.


Item 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
