NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

March 31, 1996

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which are
unaudited, include all the accounts of City Holding Company (the Parent Company)
and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). All material
intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial
statements include all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial
condition for each of the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that can be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. The Company's accounting and
reporting policies conform with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Such policies require management to make estimates and
develop assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and related footnotes. Actual results could differ from management's estimates.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the City Holding Company annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.
NOTE B - INCOME TAXES
The consolidated provision for income taxes is based upon
financial statement earnings. The effective tax rate for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, of 30.50% varied from the statutory federal income tax rate
primarily due to state income taxes and the tax effects of nontaxable interest
income and the amortization of goodwill.

PAGE 7 OF 111
NOTE C - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
In the normal course of business, there are various
commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit, that are not included in the consolidated financial
statements. These commitments approximate $68,029,000 at March 31, 1996. These
arrangements, consisting principally of unused lines of credit issued in the
normal course of business, have credit risks essentially the same as that
involved in extending loans to customers and are subject to the Company's
standard credit policies. Standby letters of credit, which total $3,567,000,
have historically expired unfunded.

NOTE D - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Company maintains an Open Market Stock Purchase Plan (the
Plan) whereby the Board of Directors have allocated $5 million to be used to
purchase shares of the Company's common stock through May 1996. The Plan as of
March 31, 1996 has reacquired approximately 87,000 shares at market prices
ranging from $23.30 to $24.08 per share for total purchases of approximately
$2,286,000.

NOTE E - ACCOUNTING FOR MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights,"
which requires that entities recognize rights to service mortgage loans for
others as separate assets, whether those rights are acquired through loan
origination or purchase activities. Additionally, management must periodically
assess its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on the
fair value of those rights. The adoption of SFAS No. 122 did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

PAGE 8 OF 111
NOTE F - LONG-TERM BORROWINGS
Long-term debt consists of a $20,000,000 revolving line of credit of
the Parent Company with a variable rate based on the lesser of the adjusted
LIBOR rate plus 1.875% per annum or the lender's base rate less .25% per annum
(7.1875% at March 31, 1996) due on June 30, 1996. As of March 31, 1996, the
outstanding balance was equal to $18,200,000. Interest on this obligation is
payable quarterly, and the Parent Company has pledged the common stock of The
City National Bank of Charleston, The Peoples Bank of Point Pleasant, First
State Bank and Trust, Merchants National Bank and The Home National Bank of
Sutton as security for the loan. Management intends to refinance this loan
according to the provisions provided in the agreement.
During 1995, a subsidiary obtained long-term financing from the Federal
Home Loan Bank (FHLB) in the form of a Long-Term LIBOR Floater with maximum
available credit of $5 million. At March 31, 1996, $5 million was outstanding
with an interest rate of 5.4185%. The agreement matures in December, 1998.



PAGE 9 OF 111
Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

HIGHLIGHTS

FINANCIAL POSITION
Total assets increased $14.0 million or approximately 1.3%
during the first three months of 1996. Net loans decreased $2.9 million or 0.4%.
Loans held for sale, consisting primarily of loans received through the
Company's participation in a short-term whole loan bulk purchasing program,
increased $43 million or 35.2%. As of March 31, 1996, program loans owned by the
Company had an outstanding principal balance of approximately $139.8 million.
See LOAN PORTFOLIO. The Company earned interest income of approximately
$3,230,000 on program loans during the first quarter of 1996. See NET INTEREST
INCOME. The increase in loans held for sale was funded primarily by the various
securities sales, calls and maturities of $47.7 million, plus the $15.4 million
increase in deposits. Net stockholders' equity increased $1.1 million during the
first three months of 1996 representing the Company's retained net profits.

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996, COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995.

The Company reported net income of $2,461,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 compared to net income of $2,040,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 1995. This increase of $421,000, or 20.6%, was primarily due to
an increase of $1,703,000 in the Company's net interest income during the first
quarter of 1996 as compared to the same period of 1995. However, the increase in
net interest income did not translate into a corresponding

PAGE 10 OF 111
increase in net income because of the level of non-interest  expense  associated
with the Company's expansion of its Operations Center, which increased
$1,709,000 or 21.9% during the first quarter of 1996 as compared to the same
period of 1995. See NET INTEREST INCOME. Earnings per share were $.48 and $.40
for the first quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Total other income, excluding securities transactions,
increased $606,000 or 48.6% primarily due to fees generated from increased loans
held for sale volume and return item fees on deposits collected through the
ordinary course of business.

SELECTED RATIOS
The return on average assets (ROA) for the first quarter of
1996 was .93% compared to .92% in the first quarter of 1995. The return on
average shareholder's equity (ROE) for the first quarter of 1996 was 13.24%
compared to 12.38% ROE for the first quarter of 1995.
The dividend payout ratio of 35.42% for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996 represents a decrease of 2.29% from the dividend payout ratio of
36.25% for the quarter ended March 31, 1995. Since 1988, the Company has paid
dividends on a quarterly basis, and expects to continue to do so in the future.

LOAN PORTFOLIO

The composition of the Company's loan portfolio is presented
in the following table:

Loans Held for Sale
Program loans $ 139,799 $ 101,843
Loans Originated for Sale 25,463 20,379
--------- ---------
TOTAL $ 165,262 $ 122,222
========= =========

The Company grants loans to customers generally within the
market areas of its subsidiaries. Loans have been trending up significantly over
the past two years primarily due to the Company's more active solicitation of
commercial business, introduction of new loan products, and continued expansion.
There have been no significant changes in the Company's loan policy or credit
standards. The Company continues to shift its marketing efforts more towards
direct loan business. There are no significant concentrations of credit and
speculative or highly leveraged transactions are insignificant. Also, in order
to increase the repricing frequency of the loan portfolio, the Company has
significantly increased its portfolio of variable rate commercial and
residential mortgage loans.




PAGE 12 OF 111
ASSET QUALITY AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The following table summarizes the Company's risk elements for
the periods ending March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995. The Company's coverage
ratio of nonperforming assets and potential problem loans continues to be
strong, at 119% as of March 31, 1996.
Management is of the opinion that the allowance for loan
losses is adequate to provide for probable future losses inherent in the
portfolio.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

The Company's cash and cash equivalents, represented by cash
and due from banks and overnight federal funds sold, is a product of its
operating, investing and financing activities. These activities are set forth in
the City Holding Company Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included
elsewhere herein. Cash was used in operating activities in each period
presented, primarily from loans originated for sale and purchase of loans held
for sale. Net cash was used in investing activities during the first quarter of
1995 funding the Company's loan growth. Net cash was provided by investing
activities during the first quarter of 1996 due primarily to maturing investment
securities. The net cash provided by financing activities in the respective
periods is a result of an increase in interest-bearing deposits. In 1995,
financing activities provided cash due to the increase in short-term borrowings.
The Company seeks to maintain a strong liquidity position to
reduce interest rate risk, which is the susceptibility of assets and liabilities
to decline in value as a result of changes in general market interest rates. The
Company minimizes this risk through asset and liability management, where the
goal is to optimize earnings while managing interest rate risk. The Company
measures this interest rate risk through interest sensitivity gap analysis as
illustrated in the following table. At March 31, 1996, the one year period shows
a negative gap (liability sensitive) of $254 million. This analysis is a "static
gap" presentation and movements in deposit rates offered by the Company's
subsidiary banks lag behind movements in the prime rate. Such time lags affect
the repricing frequency of many items on the Company's balance sheet.
Accordingly, the sensitivity of deposits to changes in market rates may differ
significantly from the related contractual terms. The table is first presented
without adjustment for expected repricing behavior. Then, as presented in the
"management adjustment" line, these balances

PAGE 15 OF 111
have been notionally  distributed  over the first three periods to reflect those
portions of such accounts that are expected to reprice fully with market rates
over the respective periods. The distribution of the balances over the repricing
periods represents an aggregation of such allocations by each of the affiliate
banks, and is based upon historical experience with their individual markets and
customers. Management expects to continue the same pricing methodology in
response to future market rate changes; however, management adjustments may
change as customer preferences, competitive market conditions, liquidity, and
loan growth change. Also presented in the management adjustment line are loan
prepayment assumptions which may differ from the related contractual term of the
loans. These balances have been distributed over the four periods to reflect
those loans that are expected to be repaid in full prior to their maturity date
over the respected periods. After management adjustments, the table shows a
negative gap in the one year period of $51 million. A negative gap position is
advantageous when interest rates are falling because interest-bearing
liabilities are being repriced at lower rates and in greater volume, which has a
positive effect on net interest income. Consequently, the Company has
experienced a decline in its net interest margin during the past year and is
somewhat vulnerable to a rapid rise in interest rates during 1996. These
declines in net interest margin did not translate into declines in net interest
income because of increases in the volume of interest-earning assets.
There are no known trends, demands, commitments or
uncertainties that have resulted or are reasonably likely to result in material
changes in liquidity.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
As a bank holding company, City Holding Company is subject to
regulation by the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956. In January 1989, the Federal Reserve published risk-based capital
guidelines in final form which are applicable to bank holding companies. Such
guidelines define items in the calculation of risk-weighted assets. At March 31,
1996, the regulatory minimum ratio of qualified total capital to riskweighted
assets (including certain off-balance-sheet items, such as standby letters of
credit) is 8 percent. At least half of the total capital is to be comprised of
"Tier 1 capital", or the Company's common stockholders' equity, and minority
interest in consolidated subsidiary, net of intangibles. The remainder ("Tier 2
capital") may consist of certain other prescribed instruments and a limited
amount of loan loss reserves.
In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has established minimum
leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to quarterly average tangible assets) guidelines
for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum ratio of 3
percent for bank holding companies that meet certain specified criteria,
including that they have the highest regulatory rating. All other bank holding
companies will be required to maintain a leverage ratio of 3 percent plus an
additional cushion of a least 100 to 200 basis points. The guidelines also
provide that banking organizations experiencing internal growth or making
acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially
above the minimum supervisory levels, without significant reliance on intangible
assets.
The following table presents comparative capital ratios and
related dollar amounts of capital for the Company:

Leverage (dollar/ratio) 31,734/3.00 30,801/3.00
</TABLE>

The strong capital position of the Company is indicative of
management's emphasis on asset quality and a history of retained net income. The
ratios enable the Company to continually pursue acquisitions and other growth
opportunities. Improvements in operating results and a consistent dividend
program, coupled with an effective management of credit risk, have been, and
will be, the key elements in maintaining the Company's present capital position.
The Company does not anticipate any material capital
expenditures in 1996. Earnings from subsidiary bank operations are expected to
remain adequate to fund payment of stockholders' dividends and internal growth.
In management's opinion, subsidiary banks have the capability to upstream
sufficient dividends to meet the cash requirements of the Company.

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, on a fully federal tax-equivalent basis,
improved from the first quarter of 1995 to the first quarter of 1996 by
approximately $1,674,000 due to an increase in net earning assets. Net yield on
earning assets decreased between periods from 4.84% to

PAGE 19 OF 111
4.70%, as earning asset yields increased 32 basis points (100 basis points equal
one percent) to 8.59%, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 56
basis points to 4.49%. The $530,000 decrease in net interest income due to rate,
as shown in the following table, was coupled with a $2,204 000 increase in net
interest income due to volume. The major component of this favorable volume
change was increased average loans and average loans held for sale.

A significant part of the increase in net earning assets for
the first quarter of 1996 is attributable to the Company's participation in a
short-term, whole-loan bulk purchasing program. Under the program, the Company
purchases from a third party whole loans secured by residential mortgages and
partially insured by the Federal Housing Association. The loans typically have
balances of less than $25,000 and are not concentrated geographically.
Additionally, the program permits the Company to require the seller to
repurchase or replace certain non-performing loans. The loans are generally
repurchased from the Company within 30 to 90 days. Although the loans usually
are located outside the Company's primary market areas, management believes that
these loans pose no greater risk than similar "in-market" loans because of the
Company's review of the loans, the credit support associated with the loans, the
short duration of the Company's investment and the other terms of the program.
The loans are generally serviced by third parties and the Company earns a fixed
rate of return on the loans. The Company earned approximately $3,230,000 in
interest income on program loans for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 compared
to $395,000 in interest income for the same period in 1995. These loans are
being funded through short-term borrowings which consist primarily of securities
sold under agreement to repurchase.
