PART I

ITEM 1      BUSINESS

(a)      General Development of Business

                  The  Registrant,  City  Holding  Company,  is a West  Virginia
corporation  chartered  as of March 12,  1982.  City  Holding  Company is a duly
qualified  bank holding  company under the Bank Holding  Company Act of 1956, as
amended.  City Holding Company currently has nine banking subsidiaries and three
nonbanking   subsidiaries   (collectively,   the   "Subsidiaries"). All  of  the
subsidiaries are  wholly-owned.  The Company  acquired First Merchants  Bancorp,
Inc. and its subsidiary,  Merchants National Bank, West Virginia in August 1995.
Certain assets and liabilities of The Buffalo Bank of Eleanor (now Peoples State
Bank) were  purchased  by City  National  in July 1995.  In December  1994,  the
Company  acquired Hinton  Financial  Corporation  and its subsidiary,  The First
National Bank of Hinton,  West Virginia.  Also in 1994, the Company acquired the
remaining 33% of the First National Bank - Beckley which was subsequently merged
into First State Bank and Trust. During 1993, the Company formed two non-banking
subsidiaries, City Mortgage Corporation, a full service mortgage banking company
whose  principal  place of  business  is in  Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania  and City
Financial  Corporation,  a full  service  securities  brokerage  and  investment
advisory  company,  whose principal place of business is in City National's main
location.   City  Holding  Company's  third  non-banking  subsidiary  is  Hinton
Financial Corporation, which owns all of the capital stock of The First National
Bank of Hinton and does not conduct any additional business.


(b)      General Description of Business

                  The  banking  Subsidiaries  are  engaged  in the  business  of
banking in West  Virginia  by  receiving  and paying  deposits;  by  negotiating
promissory  notes,  drafts,  bills of exchange  and other  evidence of debt;  by
buying and  selling  exchange;  by loaning  money  secured by  personal  or real
property,  or both; by dealing in securities and stocks without  recourse solely
upon order, and for the account of customers, except for purchases of investment
securities  for its  account  under  limitations  and  restrictions  imposed  by
regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency;  by providing trust services; by
supplying  credit  card  services  as a  licensee  of Visa  and  MasterCard;  by
providing safe deposit box facilities and miscellaneous  other services rendered
by a full service  bank.  In  addition,  the Company  engages in a  full-service
securities  brokerage and investment  advisory  business  through City Financial
Corporation  and a full service  mortgage  banking company through City Mortgage
Corporation.

                  The City  National  Bank of  Charleston  is a  community  bank
serving the Kanawha  City section of  Charleston  and  municipalities  and rural
areas to the east. The Bank operates eleven branches  serving Kanawha and Putnam
counties.  The Peoples Bank of Point Pleasant, a state-chartered bank located in
Point Pleasant, West Virginia, serves the western portion of Mason County. Point
Pleasant's  two branch  banks  located in Mason and New Haven serve the northern
portion of Mason  County.  First  State  Bank & Trust,  a  state-chartered  bank
located in Rainelle,  West Virginia,  serves  Greenbrier  and Raleigh  counties.
First State Bank  operates  seven  offices  located in Rainelle  (two  offices),
Rupert,  Sophia,  and Beckley (two offices),  West Virginia.  Bank of Ripley,  a
state-chartered  bank, has two locations in Ripley,  West  Virginia,  and serves
Jackson County.  Home National Bank of Sutton,  operates a national bank located
in Sutton, West Virginia and a branch located in Gassaway, West Virginia.

                   Blue Ridge Bank (Blue Ridge), a de novo institution chartered
as a state-nonmember bank in 1992 is located in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Blue
Ridge operates five offices located in Berkeley, Jefferson, and Morgan counties.
Peoples State Bank, a state bank,  has locations in Clarksburg  and  Bridgeport,
West  Virginia,  serving  Harrison  County.  The First  National  Bank of Hinton
(Hinton),  operates a national bank in Summers County.  Merchants  National Bank
operates a national bank in Montgomery,  West Virginia and two branches  located
in Gauley and  Glasgow,  West  Virginia.  City  Holding  Company's  nine banking
subsidiaries  are  consumer-oriented  banks  and  it is  anticipated  they  will
continue to be operated as such.

                  No material portion of the Subsidiaries'  deposits are derived
from a  single  person  or a few  persons,  the loss of any one or more of which
could have a material adverse effect on liquidity, capital, or other elements of
financial  performance.  No  material  portion  of the  Subsidiaries'  loans are
concentrated within a single industry or group of related industries.

                  City Holding Company operates as a multi-bank  holding company
and has no  operations  of its  own.  Consequently,  it is  dependent  upon  the
Subsidiaries for cash necessary to pay expenses,  dividends to its stockholders,
and to meet debt service requirements.

                  City  Holding  Company's  business is not  seasonal and has no
foreign  sources or  applications  of funds.  There are no anticipated  material
capital  expenditures,  or any  expected  material  effects on  earnings  or the
Company's competitive position as a result of compliance with Federal, State and
local provisions enacted or adopted relating to environmental protection.

(c)      Supervision and Regulation

                  The following  generally describes the regulation to which the
Company and its banking  Subsidiaries  are subject.  Bank holding  companies and
banks are extensively  regulated under both federal and state law. To the extent
that the following information describes statutory or regulatory provisions,  it
is  qualified  in  its  entirety  by  reference  to  the  particular   statutory
provisions.  Any change in  applicable  law or  regulations  may have a material
effect  on  the  business   and   prospects  of  the  Company  and  its  banking
subsidiaries.

BANK HOLDING COMPANIES

                  The Company is registered as a "bank  holding  company"  under
the Bank  Holding  Company Act of 1956,  as amended (the  "BHCA").  Bank holding
companies are subject to regulation by the Federal  Reserve  Board.  Among other
things,  the BHCA imposes  limitations on the  acquisition of direct or indirect
ownership or control of interests in banks and bank holding  companies and, with
certain exceptions,  any company that is not a bank and prohibits a bank holding
company  from  engaging in any  business  other than  banking (as defined by the
Federal Reserve Board to include certain  businesses closely related to banking)
or managing or controlling banks.

BANKS

                  City  National Bank of  Charleston,  The Home National Bank of
Sutton,  The First  National  Bank of Hinton  and  Merchants  National  Bank are
national banking associations,  and are subject to supervision and regulation by
the OCC,  the Federal  Reserve  Board and the FDIC.  The  Peoples  Bank of Point
Pleasant, First State Bank and Trust, The Bank of Ripley, Peoples State Bank and
Blue Ridge Bank are  supervised  and  regulated  by the West  Virginia  Board of
Banking and Financial Institutions,  the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Board. The
various laws and  regulations  administered  by the regulatory  agencies  affect
corporate practices,

                                       5

<PAGE>



such as  payment of  dividends,  incurring  debt and  acquisition  of  financial
institutions and other companies, and affect business practices, such as payment
of interest on deposits,  the  charging of interest on loans,  types of business
conducted and location of offices.

LIMITS ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER PAYMENTS.

                  The Company is a legal entity  separate and distinct  from its
Subsidiaries.  Most of the Company's  revenues result from dividends paid to the
Company by those Subsidiaries.  The right of the Company and shareholders of the
Company,  to  participate in any  distribution  of the assets or earnings of any
Subsidiary  through the payment of such  dividends or  otherwise is  necessarily
subject  to the prior  claims of  creditors  of such  Subsidiary,  except to the
extent  that  claims  of  the  Company  in its  capacity  as a  creditor  may be
recognized.  Moreover,  there are various  legal  limitations  applicable to the
payment of dividends by the Company to its shareholders.  Under federal law, the
Company's  Subsidiaries  may not,  subject to certain limited  exceptions,  make
loans or extensions of credit to, or  investments  in the securities of, or take
securities of the Company as collateral for loans to any borrower. The Company's
Subsidiaries are also subject to collateral security  requirements for any loans
or extensions of credit permitted by such exceptions.

                  The  banking  Subsidiaries  are  subject to various  statutory
restrictions  on their  ability to pay dividends to the Company. Under
applicable regulations, at December 31, 1995, the banking subsidiaries could
have paid aggregate dividends to the Company of $10.9 million without obtaining
prior approval of their respective regulators.  The payment of dividends  by the
Company and its  banking  Subsidiaries  may also be limited by other  factors,
such  as  requirements  to  maintain  adequate  capital  above regulatory
guidelines  and general  prohibitions  against  "unsafe and unsound" practices.

                  The ability of the Company's  Subsidiaries to pay dividends in
the future is, and is  expected  to continue  to be,  influenced  by  regulatory
policies and by capital  guidelines.  The bank  regulatory  agencies  have broad
discretion in developing  and applying  policies and  guidelines,  in monitoring
compliance with existing policies and guidelines,  and in determining whether to
modify such policies and guidelines.

CROSS-GUARANTEE.

                  Pursuant to the Financial  Institutions Reform,  Recovery, and
Enforcement Act a depository  institution insured by the FDIC can be held liable
for any loss  incurred  by, or  reasonably  expected to be incurred by, the FDIC
after  August  9,  1989,  in  connection  with  (i) the  default  of a  commonly
controlled FDIC insured depository institution or (ii) any assistance provided
by the FDIC to a commonly controlled  FDIC insured  depository institution in
danger of  default.  Liability  of any  bank  Subsidiary  of  the  Company
under  this "cross-guarantee" position could have a material adverse effect on
the financial condition of any other bank Subsidiary and the Company.

FDICIA; CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS; DEPOSIT INSURANCE.

                  In December 1991, the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation
Improvement  Act of  1991  ("FDICIA")  became  effective.  FDICIA  substantially
revised the  depository  institution  regulatory  and funding  provisions of the
Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Act  and  revised  several  other  federal  banking
statutes.

                  Among  other  things,  FDICIA  requires  the  federal  banking
regulators  to  take  prompt   corrective  action  with  respect  to  depository
institutions that do not meet minimum capital  requirements.  FDICIA establishes
five capital tiers: well capitalized, adequately capitalized,  undercapitalized,
significantly  undercapitalized,  and critically  undercapitalized.  Pursuant to
regulations  adopted by bank  regulators,  as of December 31, 1995,  each of the
Company's bank Subsidiaries that are not classified as at least

                                       6

<PAGE>



"adequately  capitalized"  are subject to  restrictions on their ability to make
subject to growth limitations and may be required to submit capital  restoration
plans.

                  For purposes of assessing  deposit insurance  premiums,  banks
are assigned to one of the following three capital groups based on their capital
levels:  "well-capitalized",  "adequately  capitalized" and  "undercapitalized".
Banks in each of these three groups are further  classified into three subgroups
based upon the level of  supervisory  concern  with  respect  to each bank.  The
resulting  matrix  creates nine  assessment  risk  classifications  to which are
assigned deposit insurance premiums ranging from .04% from the best capitalized,
healthiest  institutions,   to  .27%  for  undercapitalized   institutions  with
substantial  supervisory  concern.  The  banking  Subsidiaries  of City  Holding
Company have been informed that the premium for the first semiannual  assessment
period  beginning  January  1,  1996,  will be .04% of  insured  deposits or
$1,000, whichever is greater.  This assessment will not materially affect the
Subsidiary banks' earnings.

                  Capital guidelines  applicable to the Company are discussed in
further  detail  under the  caption  "Managements'  Discussion  and  Analysis of
Financial  Condition and Results of Operations -- Capital Resources," at page 12
of the  Company's  1995  Annual  Report to  Shareholders,  which  discussion  is
incorporated by reference herein.

INTERSTATE BANKING

                  Pursuant  to  federal  legislation,   as  of  September  1995,
restrictions on interstate acquisitions were abolished,  permitting bank holding
companies from any state to acquire banks and bank holding  companies located in
any other  state,  subject  to  certain  conditions,  including  nationwide  and
state-imposed  concentration  limits.  Banks  will also be  permitted  to branch
across state lines by merger,  acquisition  or de novo,  effective  June 1, 1997
(unless earlier  permitted by state law),  provided that certain  conditions are
met,  including that applicable  state law must expressly permit such interstate
branching.  The Company is unable to predict how this legislation will affect it
or its banking Subsidiaries.

MONETARY POLICY, GOVERNMENT REGULATION

                  City  Holding  Company and  Subsidiaries  are  affected by the
monetary  and  fiscal  policies  of  various   agencies  of  the  United  States
Government, including the Federal Reserve System. In view of changing conditions
in the national economy and in the money markets, it is impossible to accurately
predict future  changes in monetary  policy or the effect of such changes on the
business or financial condition of City Holding Company and its subsidiaries.

                  Other legislative and regulatory  proposals  regarding changes
in  banking,   and  the  regulation  of  banks,   thrifts  and  other  financial
institutions,  are being  considered  by the  executive  branch  of the  Federal
government  and  Congress.   Certain  of  these  proposals,  if  adopted,  could
significantly  change  the  regulation  of  banks  and  the  financial  services
industry.  It cannot be predicted whether any of these proposals will be adopted
or, if adopted, how these proposals will affect the Company.

(d)      Employees

                  As of December 31, 1995, City Holding Company and Subsidiaries
employed  578  associates.   Employee  relations  within  the  Subsidiaries  are
considered to be satisfactory. One officer-director of The City National Bank of
Charleston  serves as an  officer  of City  Holding  Company,  but  receives  no
remuneration therefor.

and twenty seven (27) branch  locations.  All of the properties are suitable and

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


To the Board of Directors
Hinton Financial Corporation
Hinton, West Virginia

         We have audited the accompanying  consolidated balance sheets of Hinton
Financial  Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1994, and 1993, and the
related consolidated statements of income,  stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the years in the  three-year  period ended  December 31, 1994,  (not
presented separately, herein). These financial statements are the responsibility
of the  Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally  accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present  fairly,  in all material  respects,  the  financial  position of Hinton
Financial  Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1994, and 1993, and the
results  of their  operations  and their  cash flow for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

acquisitions were consummated by City Holding. These acquisitions were accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of
operations of the purchased subsidiaries are included in the information
presented above from the date of acquisition forward, and prior year balance
sheets have not been restated for such transactions. The acquisitions of Home
Bancorp, Inc. (1992), Hinton Financial Corporation and subsidiary (1994) and
First Merchants Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary (1995) were accounted for as
poolings of interests and, accordingly, the financial data of these subsidiaries
are included in all five years presented above, as if the acquisitions had
occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CITY HOLDING COMPANY

   City Holding Company (the Company), a West Virginia corporation headquartered
in Charleston,  commenced operations in November 1983. The Company currently has
nine  banking  subsidiaries,  and  three  non-banking  subsidiaries.  All of the
subsidiaries  are  wholly-owned.  At December  31,  1995,  the Company had total
assets of $1 billion,  total  deposits of $797  million and total  stockholders'
equity of $73 million.  The banking  subsidiaries include The City National Bank
of Charleston  (City National, principal  subsidiary  bank), The Peoples Bank of
Point Pleasant, First State Bank & Trust, The Bank of Ripley, Home National Bank
of Sutton (Home National),  Blue Ridge Bank,  Peoples  State Bank,  The First
National  Bank of Hinton  (Hinton)  and  Merchants  National  Bank  (Merchants),
which  currently operate 36 banking  offices in the state of West  Virginia.
Certain assets and liabilities  of The  Buffalo  Bank of  Eleanor  (now  Peoples
State  Bank) were purchased  by City  National  in 1995.  This  transaction  had
no  impact on the consolidated  results of the  Company.  In  addition to the
Company's  periodic filings  with the SEC,  each of its  subsidiary  banks are
subject  to  certain regulatory  guidelines at the applicable  federal and state
level.  As such, the banks are routinely examined by these regulatory bodies and
certain  information is required to be submitted to them each quarter.  The
Company  operates  retail and consumer-oriented community banks that emphasize
personal service.

   During 1993, the Company formed two non-banking  subsidiaries.  City Mortgage
Corporation was approved by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond to operate as a
full service  mortgage  banking  company in December  1993.  Headquartered  in a
suburb of Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania, this company originates, services and sells
long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans. City Financial  Corporation was approved by
the  Federal  Reserve  Bank of Richmond  in  November  1993 and by the  National
Association  of Securities  Dealers in February 1994, to serve as a full service
securities brokerage and investment advisory company. City Financial Corporation
is  headquartered  in Charleston,  West Virginia with its office located in City
National's  main location.  Both of these companies were formed under a strategy
to generate fee income in order to lessen the Company's reliance on net interest
margin and to enable the Company to offer a full array of financial  services to
its customers.  Hinton Financial  Corporation,  the Company's third  non-banking
subsidiary,  owns all of the  capital  stock of Hinton and does not  conduct any
other business activities.

   The Company continually seeks strategic  acquisition  opportunities for small
to  medium-sized  banks.  The  Company's  latest  acquisitions   include  Hinton
Financial  Corporation and  subsidiary,  acquired in late 1994, followed by
First Merchants  Bancorp,  Inc. and subsidiary in mid 1995. The Company's
acquisition policy has permitted subsidiary banks to operate as separate
entities with their historical names and boards of directors.  The Company
believes that this policy maintains  community  loyalty to the  subsidiary
banks and  improves  operating performance  while  providing the services and
efficiencies of a larger holding company.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

HIGHLIGHTS AND SUMMARY

   Return on  average  assets  (ROA),  a measure of the  effectiveness  of asset
utilization,  was .91% in 1995.  Return on average equity (ROE),  which measures
the return on  stockholders'  investment,  was 12.55% in 1995. The Company's ROA
and ROE were .94% and 12.03%, respectively, in 1994. Earnings per share for 1995
were $1.70, an increase of approximately  7.6% from the $1.58 per share in 1994.
The main reason for the increase in earnings per share is increased net interest
income,  which is principally  the result of increased loan volume and continued
growth of the Company.

   The Company  reported  total  assets of $1 billion at  December  31, 1995 and
achieved  $8.7  million  in net  income for the year then  ended.  Total  assets
increased  16.2%  over the 1994  total of $896  million,  roughly  half of which
increase was the result of the Company's loan growth, as more fully discussed in
the Interest-Earning Assets and Interest-Bearing Liabilities section. Net income
was up  significantly  over the $8.1 million and $7.6 million  reported for 1994
and 1993, respectively.

   The acquisition of Merchants was accounted for using the pooling of interests
method  of  accounting.   Accordingly,   the  Company's  consolidated  financial
statements and related notes, as well as the information  presented herein, have
been  restated to include  Merchants as though it were acquired at the beginning
of the earliest period presented.  For further  information  concerning the 1995
acquisition, see NOTE THREE of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

   This section of the annual report to stockholders  discusses and analyzes the
consolidated  financial  condition  of the  Company,  the  related  consolidated
results of its operations, and its cash flows.

   Table One is a five year summary of selected  financial  data of the Company.

   The following sections discuss in more detail information summarized in Table
One.


INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS AND INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES

   Average interest-earning assets increased $87.5 million from 1994 to 1995 and
$114.2 million from 1993 to 1994.  These increases are  attributable to the loan
volume generated by the Company's  subsidiary banks,  which was accompanied by a
comparable increase in deposits and short-term borrowings. A significant part of
the  increase in net  earning  assets for 1995 and 1994 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
Administration.  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  $4.6 and $1.9 million  during
1995 and 1994,  on average balances of approximately $49.1 and $21.2 million,
respectively.  These loans are being funded through short-term  borrowings which
consist primarily of securities sold under agreement to repurchase.

   Average short-term  borrowings  increased $52.2 million from 1994 to 1995 and
$21.8  million  from 1993 to 1994.  The  average  rate paid by the  Company  for
short-term borrowings increased 179 basis points in 1995 and 139 basis points in
1994 due to general increases in market interest rates.

   Most of the internal growth in deposits has been in response to the Company's
service-oriented  philosophy and its active involvement in the local communities
it serves.  The  Company  also  continues  to  establish  additional  commercial
relationships,  with an emphasis on "in-market"  lending to businesses owned and
operated by  established  customers.  The  Company  believes  its  decentralized
management style appeals to retail consumers and small businesses. These lending
arrangements are in furtherance of the Company's mission of being a high quality
service  provider  retaining  strong ties to the local  communities in which its
subsidiary banks operate.  In 1995, the Company's  subsidiaries had an aggregate
increase in loans of approximately $100.9 million or 18%. City National and Home
National  generated the most loan volume in 1995 with  increases of 22% and 20%,
respectively.

  In  response  to  the  significant  growth  in  loans,  average  investment
securities  decreased  $43.2 million from $265  million in 1994 to $222 million
in 1995. The overall yield on investments has increased from 1994 as a result of
slightly higher rates. Average  investment  securities  increased  $2.2 million
from $263 million in 1993 to $265 million in 1994.

   Long-term debt includes $15 million in obligations of the Parent Company and
$5 million in FHLB  obligations  of City  National.  For  further  details  with
respect to long-term debt see NOTE EIGHT of the audited  Consolidated  Financial
Statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

   Net interest income, on a fully federal  tax-equivalent basis, increased $3.9
million during 1995. The average yield on earning assets increased from 7.94% in
1994 to 8.53% in 1995,  and the  average  cost of  interest-bearing  liabilities
increased  from  3.65% to 4.33%  over this same  period.  This had the effect of
slightly  decreasing the net yield on earning assets from 4.82% in 1994 to 4.78%
in 1995.

   The $724,000  decrease in net interest  income due to rate, as shown in Table
Three which  follows,  was coupled with a $4.6 million  increase in net interest
income due to volume.  The major components of this favorable volume change were
increased average loans as more fully discussed in the  Interest-Earning  Assets
and Interest-Bearing Liabilities section.

   Net interest income, on a fully federal  tax-equivalent basis, increased $4.6
million  in 1994.  The $6.6  million  increase  caused by  changes in volume was
offset by a $2.0 million decrease in net interest income due to rate.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

   The Company  has a strong  liquidity  position  and does not  anticipate  any
material  adverse  changes  in  1996.  There  are  no  known  trends,   demands,
commitments  or  uncertainties  that have resulted or are  reasonably  likely to
result in material changes in liquidity.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY: The Company seeks to  maintain a strong  liquidity
position to reduce  interest  rate risk, which is the  susceptibility of assets
and liabilities to declines 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 Table Four. At December 31, 1995,
the one year period shows a negative gap (liability sensitive) of $291 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. Table Four is first presented without adjustment for expected repricing
behavior.  Then, as presented in the  "management  adjustment"  line, these
balances 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 the 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  respective  period.  After
management adjustments,  Table  Four  shows a  negative  gap in the one year
period of $91 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.  However, when  interest  rates are rising,  this position  produces the
converse  effect. Consequently,  the Company has  experienced a decline in its
net interest margin during the past two years and is somewhat vulnerable to a
rapid rise in interest rates in 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.

LIQUIDITY: The  Company  also seeks to  maintain  adequate  liquidity  in order
to generate sufficient cash flows to fund operations on a timely basis.  The
Company manages its  liquidity  position  to provide  for asset  growth  and to
ensure  that the funding needs of depositors and borrowers can be met promptly.
The Company does not have a high concentration of volatile funds, and all such
funds are invested in assets of comparable maturity to mitigate liquidity
concerns.

   At December 31, 1995,  the Parent  Company had  $15,000,000 in long-term debt
outstanding  against a $20,000,000  revolving loan  agreement.  These funds were
used to  provide  subsidiaries  with  additional  capital  and to  fund  certain
acquisitions in 1993 and 1994. Total debt service for the Parent Company in 1996
will approximate  $1.0 million at current  interest rates.  Other than long-term
debt,  the cash needs of the Parent  Company  consist  of  routine  payroll  and
benefit expenses of Parent Company personnel,  expenses for certain professional
services, debt service on affiliate advances and dividends to shareholders.

   The Parent  Company has  approximately  $11.0 million  available for transfer
from its  subsidiary  banks as of January 1, 1996.  Subsidiary  bank earnings in
1996 through the date of dividend  declaration  are also  available for transfer
upstream. Such subsidiary bank dividends are the Parent Company's primary source
of cash.  Management  anticipates that the cash flow  requirements of the Parent
Company  will be  adequately  met in the  normal  course of  business.  For more
specific information regarding  restrictions on subsidiary  dividends,  see NOTE
NINE to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

   The Company's cash and cash equivalents,  represented by cash, due from banks
and federal funds sold, are a product of its operating,  investing and financing
activities.  These  activities  are  set  forth  in the  Company's  Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows included  elsewhere herein.  Cash was used in operating
activities  during 1995 and 1994 due to the purchases of loans held for sale and
was generated from operating  activities in 1993. Net cash was used in investing
activities  for each year  presented  which is indicative of the Company's  loan
volume over this period and net increases in the  investment  portfolio in 1993.
The majority of this loan growth and  investment  activity was funded by the net
cash  provided by  financing  activities,  principally  in the form of increased
short-term borrowings and deposit growth.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LOAN LOSS ANALYSIS

   During 1995, the Company  charged-off  $1,331,000 of loans that were doubtful
as to collection and had recoveries of $316,000.  The resulting net  charge-offs
of  $1,015,000  represent  an  increase of 31% from that  reported in 1994.  Net
charge-offs  decreased  approximately  31%, or  $348,000  in 1994  versus  1993.
Approximately  half of the 1993 net charge-offs  was related to  pre-acquisition
loans at Buffalo.  Net charge-offs as a percent of average total loans increased
13.3% or 2 basis  points  when  comparing  1995 to 1994.  The  Company's  asset
quality continues to compare favorably with that of peer banks.

   The  provision for possible  loan losses  charged to operations  each year is
dependent  upon many  factors,  including  loan  growth,  historical  charge-off
experience,  size and  composition  of the  loan  portfolio,  delinquencies  and
general economic trends.  The provision of $1,104,000 in 1995 represents .18% of
average  loans as  compared  to a  $1,040,000  or .21%  provision  in 1994.  The
increased  provision  for 1995 is  primarily  due to higher net  charge-offs  as
discussed above and higher loan volume. Loan volume has continued to increase in
recent years as a result of the Company's more active solicitation of commercial
loan business as well as general volume increases  applicable to the traditional
borrowing  segment from which the Company has generated  loans in the past.  The
Company has successfully  attracted more commercial customers,  while continuing
to obtain noncommercial,  lower risk collateral such as residential  properties.
The  Company's  collateral  position  with  respect  to real  estate  loans  has
typically been less volatile than its peers,  particularly banks located outside
of its region where  dramatic  escalations  in real estate  values took place in
certain prior years.

   The  allowance for loan losses was  $6,566,000  or 1.01% of net loans,  as of
December  31, 1995,  compared to  $6,477,000  or 1.18% of net loans in 1994.  As
detailed in Table Ten, as of December 31, 1995, the allowance for loan losses is
allocated 31% to  commercial,  financial  and  agricultural  loans,  48% to real
estate-mortgage loans and 21% to installment loans to individuals. These amounts
reflect  management's  assessment  of the  risk in each  specific  portfolio  in
relation  to  the  total.  These  percentages  compare  to  30%,  44%  and  26%,
respectively,  as of December 31, 1994. The portion of the allowance  related to
commercial  credits is based  primarily  upon specific  credit review with minor
weighting  being  given  to  past  charge-off  history.  Conversely,  due to the
homogenous  nature of the portfolios and consistency in underwriting  standards,
the  portions  of the  allowance  allocated  to the  real  estate-mortgages  and
installment  loans to  individuals  are based  primarily  upon prior  charge-off
history with minor weighting being given to specific credit reviews.  Management
has,  however,  increased  the  portion  of  the  allowance  allocated  to  real
estate-mortgages  above the trend in net charge-off  history for that portfolio.
This increase is primarily due to  management's  concern that rapid increases in
real estate lending within the Company over the past several years have led to a
portfolio that may not be seasoned  enough for past net charge-offs to represent
current risk. In addition,  the Company's  adjustable  rate mortgages have grown
from $65.3 million at December  31,  1993 to $121.6  million at December  31,
1995,  an increase  of 86% in three  years.  In  management's  opinion,  the
consolidated allowance  for loan losses is adequate  to provide for any
potential  losses on existing loans. See NOTE FIVE to the audited  Consolidated
Financial Statements for a discussion of concentrations of credit risks.

   Nonperforming  loans,  consisting of  nonaccrual,  past-due and  restructured
credits,  decreased  approximately  $209,000 in 1995.  While the general economy
remains soft in certain of the subsidiary  banks' market areas,  management does
not  anticipate  material  loan losses since loan to  collateral  ratios  remain
favorable.  At December 31, 1995, loans  aggregating  $266,000 are considered by
management  to  represent  possible  future  credit  problems.  These  loans are
generally  contractually  current,  but  information  is available to management
which indicates that serious doubt may exist as to the ability of such borrowers
to comply with the present loan repayment  terms. The ratio of the allowance for
loan losses to nonperforming loans,  including potential problem loans, was 151%
at December  31,  1995,  as  compared to 134% and 130% at December  31, 1994 and
1993.

for loan losses.

</TABLE>





During 1995, the Company  recognized  approximately  $258,000 of interest income
received in cash on nonaccrual and restructured loans. Approximately $328,000 of
interest  income  would have been  recognized  during the year if such loans had
been current in accordance with their original terms.  There were no commitments
to provide  additional  funds on nonaccrual,  restructured,  or other  potential
problem loans at December 31, 1995.

Interest on loans is accrued and credited to operations based upon the principal
amount  outstanding.  The accrual of interest  income is generally  discontinued
when a loan becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest unless the loan
is well collateralized and in the process of collection.  When interest accruals
are discontinued, interest credited to income in the current year that is unpaid
and deemed uncollectible is charged to operations.  Prior year interest accruals
that are unpaid and deemed  uncollectible  are charged to the allowance for loan
losses, provided that such amounts were specifically reserved.

</TABLE>

The portion of the allowance for loan losses that is not specifically  allocated
to individual  credits has been  apportioned  among the separate loan portfolios
based on the risk of each portfolio.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES

   Other income continues to be an area of management emphasis.  Recognizing the
importance of non-interest income to future operating  performance,  the Company
is aggressively  pursuing additional service opportunities by offering a variety
of services  and  products to its  customers  which  include  trust,  brokerage,
mortgage banking and related services.

   The loan and deposit growth at the Company's subsidiary banks, which includes
a  greater  mix of  commercial  relationships  than  certain  prior  years,  has
positioned  the  Company  to  increase  other  income in areas  such as  service
charges.  Service  charge income  increased  approximately  $624,000 or 23% when
comparing  1995 to 1994.  This increase is  attributable  to fees charged in the
normal course of business on deposits,  which  increased  $50.6  million  during
1995.

   Other income  included  secondary  market  mortgage fee income  approximating
$913,000 and $317,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Additionally, in 1994,
the Company  included in other income $1.4 million related to an insurance
recovery at one of the subsidiary banks.

   During the fourth  quarter  of 1994,  the  Company  took the  opportunity  to
restructure  its  available-for-sale  investment  portfolio  that resulted in an
$885,000 securities loss. Gains/(losses) from securities  transactions were not
significant in 1995 or 1993. As more fully described in the Company's securities
policy in NOTE ONE to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements,  management
determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase.
Historically,  sales of securities  have been  infrequent.  See NOTE FOUR to the
audited  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  a  discussion  of  securities
available-for-sale.

   Total  other  expenses  increased  $3.8  million,  or 12.5%,  during 1995 due
primarily to the Company's  overall growth during 1995,  which  produced  higher
personnel  costs  throughout the  organization.  Salaries and employee  benefits
increased $2.9 million  between 1995 and 1994.  Total other  expenses  increased
$5.8  million,  or 24.0%,  during 1994 due primarily to $1.1 million in expenses
incurred by City  Financial  and City  Mortgage  with no expenses  for these new
subsidiaries  included  in the 1993  results.  In  addition,  Blue  Ridge had an
increase of approximately  $1.9 million in non-interest  expense associated with
growth and the 1993 acquisition of Shenandoah Federal Savings  Association.  The
additional  increase of $2.8 million in 1994 is  attributable  to the  Company's
overall  growth  during  that  year,   which  provided  higher  personnel  costs
throughout the organization.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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.  At
December 31, 1995, the Federal  Reserve Board's minimum ratio of qualified total
capital to risk-weighted assets is 8 percent. At least half of the total capital
is  required  to be  comprised  of  Tier  1  capital,  or the  Company's  common
stockholders'  equity less  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  are
required to maintain a leverage ratio of 3 percent plus an additional cushion of
at 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:

                                                DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS

   Tier 1 risk-based capital             $      66,260      $       61,431
   Total risk-based capital                     72,826              67,908

CAPITAL RATIOS

   Total risk-based                               9.75               12.19
   Leverage                                       6.45                6.83

REGULATORY MINIMUM
   Tier 1 risk-based (dollar/ratio)      $ 29,888/4.00%      $ 22,282/4.00%
   Total risk-based (dollar/ratio)         59,776/8.00         44,565/8.00
   Leverage (dollar/ratio)                 30,801/3.00         26,989/3.00

   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 Parent Company.


INFLATION

   Since the  assets  and  liabilities  of the  subsidiary  banks are  primarily
monetary in nature (payable in fixed,  determinable amounts), the performance of
banks is affected more by changes in interest rates than by inflation.  Interest
rates generally increase as the rate of inflation  increases,  but the magnitude
of the change in rates may not be the same.

   While the effect of inflation on banks is normally not as  significant as its
influence  on those  businesses  which  have  large  investments  in  plant  and
inventories, it does have an effect. During periods of high inflation, there are
normally  corresponding  increases in the money supply,  and banks will normally
experience  above-average  growth in assets,  loans and deposits.  Also, general
increases in the price of goods and services will result in increased  operating
expenses.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF

INCOME TAXES

   Income tax expense was $4,182,000 in 1995, resulting in an effective tax rate
of  32.42%  for the  year.  Such  rates  were  30.3% and 30.6% in 1994 and 1993,
respectively.  The effective tax rate from 1994 to 1995  increased due primarily
to a decrease in tax-exempt interest income. The effective tax rate from 1993 to
1994 remained relatively unchanged.

   At December 31, 1995,  gross  deferred  tax assets total  approximately  $3.9
million. Such assets are primarily attributable to the allowance for loan losses
($2 million),  acquired net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards  ($748,000) and
certain nonqualified deferred compensation  arrangements sponsored by subsidiary
banks  ($411,000).  Pursuant to  management's  evaluation  for the quarter ended
December 31, 1995, no valuation allowance has been allocated to the deferred tax
assets.  The quarterly  evaluation  process employed by management is based upon
the expected  reversal period of the assets,  in  consideration of taxes paid by
the Company in the  carryback  years,  expected  reversals  of existing  taxable
temporary differences, and historical trends in taxable income.

   Those  assets for which  realization  is expected to be  dependent  on future
events are subjected to further evaluation. Management's analysis has shown that
realization of certain  deferred tax assets,  principally the acquired NOL, will
be dependent on future events.  After  considering such factors as the magnitude
of the asset  relative to historical  levels of financial  reporting  income and
taxable  income,  the period over which future  taxable  income would have to be
earned to  realize  the  asset,  and  budgeted  future  results  of  operations,
management  has concluded  that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax
assets existing at December 31, 1995, will be realized.  At present,  management
does not expect that implementation of tax planning strategies will be necessary
to ensure  realization.  The need for a valuation  allowance will continue to be
addressed by management each quarter and any changes in the valuation  allowance
will be reported contemporaneously  therewith in the Company's quarterly results
of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
CITY HOLDING COMPANY


   We have audited the accompanying  consolidated balance sheets of City Holding
Company  and  subsidiaries  as of December  31,  1995 and 1994,  and the related
consolidated  statements of income,  changes in stockholders'  equity,  and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended  December 31, 1995.  These
financial  statements are the  responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits. We did not audit the 1994 or 1993 consolidated  financial statements
of Hinton Financial  Corporation and subsidiary  which statements  reflect total
revenues  constituting  7% and 8% of the  1994 and  1993  consolidated  totals,
respectively.  Those  statements were audited by other auditors whose report has
been  furnished to us, and our opinion,  insofar as it relates to data  included
for Hinton Financial  Corporation and subsidiary,  is based solely on the report
of the other auditors.

   We  conducted  our audits in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

   In our  opinion,  based on our audits and the report of other  auditors,  the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the consolidated  financial position of City Holding Company and subsidiaries at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period  ended  December  31,
1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CITY HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

DECEMBER 31, 1995

NOTE ONE
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES

   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES: The accounting and
reporting  policies of City Holding Company and its  subsidiaries  (the Company)
conform with generally accepted accounting  principles and 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.  The  following  is a summary  of the more  significant
policies.

   PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:  The consolidated  financial  statements include
the  accounts of City Holding  Company and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries.  All
significant  intercompany  accounts and  transactions  have been  eliminated  in
consolidation.

   NATURE  OF  OPERATIONS:   The  Company  is  a  multi-bank   holding   company
headquartered in Charleston,  West Virginia.  The Company's banking subsidiaries
are  comprised  of retail and  consumer  oriented  community  banks with offices
throughout West Virginia.  The non-banking  subsidiaries are comprised of a full
service mortgage banking company located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and a full
service  securities   brokerage  and  investment  advisory  company  located  in
Charleston.

   CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS:  The Company  considers  cash and due from banks and
federal funds sold as cash and cash  equivalents.  The carrying amounts reported
in the December 31, 1995 and 1994, consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash
equivalents approximate those assets' fair values.

   SECURITIES:   Management   determines  the  appropriate   classification   of
securities  at the time of  purchases.  If  management  has the  intent  and the
Company  has the  ability at the time of  purchase  to hold debt  securities  to
maturity,  they are classified as investments  and are stated at cost,  adjusted
for  amortization  of premiums and accretion of discounts.  Debt  securities for
which the Company  does not have the intent or ability to hold to  maturity  are
classified as available  for sale along with the Company's  investment in equity
securities.  Securities  available for sale are carried at fair value,  with the
unrealized  gains and losses,  net of tax,  reported in a separate  component of
stockholders'  equity.  Securities  classified  as  available  for sale  include
securities  that  management  intends  to use  as  part  of its  asset/liability
management  strategy  and that may be sold in  response  to changes in  interest
rates, resultant prepayment risk, and other factors.

   The specific  identification  method is used to  determine  the cost basis of
securities sold.

   LOANS:  Interest income on loans is accrued and credited to operations  based
upon the principal amount  outstanding,  using methods which generally result in
level rates of return.  The accrual of interest income generally is discontinued
when a loan becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest.  When interest
accruals are discontinued,  unpaid interest  recognized in income in the current
year is  reversed,  and  interest  accrued  in  prior  years is  charged  to the
allowance  for loan  losses.  Management  may elect to  continue  the accrual of
interest  when the  estimated net  realizable  value of  collateral  exceeds the
principal  balance and related accrued  interest,  and the loan is in process of
collection.  Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation
is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a
reasonable  period  of  time  and  the  ultimate  collectibility  of  the  total
contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

   LOANS HELD FOR SALE: Loans held for sale represent mortgage loans the Company
has either  purchased  or  originated  with the intent to sell on the  secondary
market and are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value.

CITY HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE ONE
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES (continued)

   ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: The provision for possible loan losses included in
the consolidated  statements of income is based upon management's  evaluation of
individual  credits  in the loan  portfolio,  historical  loan loss  experience,
current and expected future  economic  conditions,  and other relevant  factors.
These provisions, less net charge-offs,  comprise the allowance for loan losses.
In management's judgment, the allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level
adequate to provide for probable  losses on existing  loans.  This evaluation is
inherently  subjective as it requires material  estimates  including the amounts
and timing of future cash flows  expected to be received on impaired  loans that
may be susceptible to significant change.

   BANK PREMISES AND  EQUIPMENT:  Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost
less  accumulated  depreciation.  Depreciation  is  computed  primarily  by  the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

   INTANGIBLES:  Intangible  assets,  which are  included in other assets in the
consolidated  balance  sheets,  are comprised of goodwill,  core  deposits,  and
purchased  mortgage loan  servicing  rights.  The goodwill and core deposits are
amortized using  straight-line  (15 year life) and accelerated  methods (10 year
life), respectively, over their estimated useful lives. The servicing rights are
amortized using an accelerated method over the period of estimated net servicing
income.

   INCOME  TAXES:  The  consolidated  provision  for income  taxes is based upon
reported  income and expense.  Deferred  income taxes are provided for temporary
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.
The Company files a consolidated income tax return. The respective  subsidiaries
generally  provide for income taxes on a separate return basis and remit amounts
determined to be currently payable to the Parent Company.

   STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", which provides an alternative to APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees",  in accounting for stock-based  compensation
issued to employees. The Statement  allows for a fair value based method of
accounting  for employee stock  options and similar  equity  instruments.
However,  for  companies  that continue to account for stock-based compensation
arrangements under Opinion No. 25, Statement No. 123 requires disclosure of the
pro forma effect on net income and  earnings  per  share  of  its  fair  value
based   accounting   for  those arrangements.  These  disclosure  requirements
are  effective  for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, or upon
initial adoption of the statement, if earlier.  The Company  continues to
evaluate the provisions of Statement No. 123 and has not determined  whether it
will adopt the  recognition  and  measurement provisions of that  Statement.
However,  as discussed in NOTE ELEVEN,  no stock options or awards have been
granted under the Company's incentive plan.

   NET  INCOME  PER COMMON  SHARE:  Net income per common  share is based on the
weighted  average common shares  outstanding  during each year. On September 11,
1995,  a 10%  stock  dividend  was  declared  by  the  Board  of  Directors  for
shareholders  of record on  November  1, 1995.  The stock  dividend  was paid on
November  30,  1995 and all stock  related  data in the  consolidated  financial
statements  reflects  the stock  dividend.  On December  12,  1994,  a 10% stock
dividend was declared by the Board of Directors  for  shareholders  of record on
January 2, 1995.  The stock  dividend  was paid on January  15,  1995.  For each
declaration  an amount equal to the fair value of the  additional  shares issued
was transferred  from retained  earnings to the common stock and capital surplus
accounts.

   LOAN FEES AND COST:  Loan  origination  and  commitment  fees and direct loan
origination  costs are principally  being  recognized as collected and incurred.
The use of this  method  of  recognition  does  not  produce  results  that  are
materially  different  from results which would have been produced if such costs
and fees were  deferred and  amortized as an  adjustment  of loan yield over the
life of the related loan.

   STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS: Cash paid for interest,  including  long-term debt,
was   $32,755,000,   $24,886,000  and  $22,579,000  in  1995,  1994,  and  1993,
respectively.  Cash  paid for  income  taxes  was  $4,055,000,  $3,567,000,  and
$3,406,000 in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

   Certain of the  subsidiary  banks are  required to maintain  average  reserve
balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount of those balances for
the year ended December 31, 1995, was approximately $7,594,000.

NOTE THREE
ACQUISITIONS

   On August 30, 1995,  the Company  acquired  100% of the common stock of First
Merchants  Bancorp,  Inc.,  and  subsidiary  (Merchants) in exchange for 921,600
shares of the Company's  common stock. The transaction has been accounted for as
a pooling of interests and, accordingly,  the consolidated  financial statements
for all  periods  presented  have been  restated  to  include  the  accounts  of
Merchants. Previously reported results of the Company have been restated as
follows:

   In December  1994,  the Company  acquired  100% of the common stock of Hinton
Financial  Corporation and subsidiary (Hinton) in exchange for 460,047 shares of
the Company's  common stock.  The  transaction was accounted for as a pooling of
interests.

   In June 1994,  the Company  acquired the remaining 33% interest in the common
stock  of  First   National   Bank-Beckley,   West  Virginia   (FNB)  for  which
consideration  included  $530,000.  As  a  result,  FNB  became  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. This transaction was accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations attributable to the
acquisition  have been  included  in the  consolidated  totals  from the date of
acquisition.

   Intangible  assets  arising from prior year  purchase  business  combinations
consist  primarily  of core  deposits  and  goodwill  which  have  an  aggregate
unamortized balance at December 31, 1995 and 1994, of $5,962,000 and $5,154,000,
respectively.  The  carrying  amount  of  goodwill  is  reviewed  if  facts  and
circumstances  suggest that it may be impaired.  If this review  indicates  that
goodwill  will  not  be  recoverable,  as  determined  based  on  the  estimated
undiscounted  cash flows of the entity acquired over the remaining  amortization
period,  the  carrying  amount  of the  goodwill  is  reduced  by the  estimated
shortfall of cash flows.

INVESTMENTS

   The Company adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No.
115,  "Accounting  for  Certain  Investments  in Debt  and  Equity  Securities,"
effective  January 1, 1994. The adoption of SFAS No. 115 resulted in an increase
in  stockholders'  equity of  $1,055,000  and a transfer  of  approximately  $15
million from  investment  securities  to  securities  available  for sale, as of
January 1, 1994.

   On November 15, 1995, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (FASB) staff
issued  a  Special  Report,  A  Guide  to  Implementation  of  Statement  115 on
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.  In accordance
with provisions in that Special Report,  the Company chose to reclassify certain
securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale.  At the date of transfer
the amortized cost of those  securities was  $69,389,000 and the unrealized gain
on those securities was $242,000, which was included in stockholders' equity.

   Included in the Company's  investment  portfolio are structured notes with an
estimated fair value of $11.8 million and $14.5 million at December 31, 1995 and
1994,  respectively.  Such investments are used by management to enhance yields,
diversify  the  investment  portfolio,  and manage  the  Company's  exposure  to
interest  rate   fluctuations.   These  securities  consist  of  federal  agency
securities  with an  average  maturity  of less than  three  years.  Management,
periodically,  performs sensitivity analyses to determine the Company's exposure
to fluctuation  in interest  rates of 3% and had determined  that the structured
notes meet regulatory price sensitivity guidelines.

   The aggregate  carrying and approximate  market values of securities  follow.
Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market
prices  are not  available,  fair  values are based on quoted  market  prices of
comparable instruments.

   The Company  grants loans to customers  generally  within the market areas of
its subsidiary  banks.  There is no significant  concentration of credit risk by
industry or by related  borrowers.  There are no foreign loans  outstanding  and
highly leveraged loan transactions are insignificant.

   The Company  originates  and sells fixed rate  mortgage  loans on a servicing
released  basis.  At December 31, 1995, the Company held for sale  approximately
$13 million of originated loans.

   In 1994, the Company began  participation  in a short-term,  whole-loan  bulk
purchasing  program whereby the Company purchases from a third party whole loans
secured by residential mortgages. The loans, generally, are repurchased from the
Company  within  90 days.  The  Company  earns a fixed  rate of  return on loans
purchased  under the program.  During 1995 and 1994, the annualized  rate was 9%
and aggregate  income from loans purchased  under the program was  approximately
$4.6  million and $1.9  million,  respectively,  which is  reflected in interest
income.  At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company's  investment in these loans
approximated  $102 million and $22 million,  respectively.  Due to the
short-term nature of these loans, the recorded value approximates fair value.

   A summary of changes in the allowance for possible loan losses follows:

</TABLE>


   Beginning in 1995, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 114. "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." Under the new standard,  the 1995 allowance
for  loan  losses  related  to loans  that  are  identified  for  evaluation  in
accordance with Statement 114 is based on discounted cash flows using the loan's
initial effective  interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain
collateral dependent loans. Prior to 1995, the allowance for loan losses related
to these  loans was based on  undiscounted  cash  flows or the fair value of the
collateral for collateral dependent loans.

   On December 31, 1995, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to
be impaired under Statement No. 114 was $4,087,000 (of which  $2,525,000 were on
a nonaccrual  basis).  Included in this amount is $1,630,000 of impaired  loans
for  which the  related  allowance  for loan  losses is  $404,000.  The  average
recorded  investment in impaired  loans during the year ended December 31, 1995,
was approximately $3,423,000.

   The FASB has issued SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights,"
which is  effective  for fiscal years  beginning  after  December 31, 1995.  The
Statement requires that mortgage servicing rights be capitalized,  regardless of
how they are obtained. The Company will adopt this Statement on January 1, 1996,
and it is not  expected  to have a material  effect on the  Company's  financial
statements.

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

   Short-term  borrowings  consist  primarily of advances  from the Federal Home
Loan Bank of  Pittsburgh  (the  FHLB) and  securities  sold under  agreement  to
repurchase. A summary of the Company's short-term borrowings is set forth below:


1995:
         AVERAGE AMOUNT OUTSTANDING DURING THE YEAR        $  97,357,000
         MAXIMUM AMOUNT OUTSTANDING AT ANY MONTH END         190,862,000

NOTE EIGHT
LONG-TERM DEBT AND UNUSED LINES OF CREDIT

   Long-term debt includes an obligation of the Parent  Company  consisting of a
$20,000,000  revolving credit loan facility with an unrelated party. At December
31, 1995, $15 million was outstanding.  The loan has a variable rate (7.8125% at
December 31, 1995) with  interest  payments due  quarterly  and principal due at
maturity in June 1996.  Management  intends to refinance  the loan  according to
provisions provided in the agreement.

   The loan agreement contains certain restrictive  provisions applicable to the
Parent Company  including  limitations on additional  long-term debt. The parent
company has pledged the common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiaries,  The City
National Bank (City National),  The Peoples Bank of Point Pleasant,  First State
Bank and Trust,  Merchants  National  Bank, and Home National Bank as collateral
for the revolving credit loan.

   During 1995, City National 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 December 31, 1995, $5 million was outstanding  with an
interest rate of 5.9186%. The agreement matures in December 1998.

   The Company has purchased,  through its subsidiaries,  approximately  111,000
shares of FHLB  stock at par value.  Such  purchases  entitle  the  Company to
dividends  declared by the FHLB and provide an  additional  source of short-term
and long-term funding, in the form of collateralized  advances.  At December 31,
1995,  the  subsidiaries  have been  issued  one year  flexline  commitments  of
$81,467,000, at prevailing interest rates, from the FHLB with maturities ranging
from July to December  1996.  Such  commitments  are subject to  satisfying  the
Capital Stock  Requirement  provisions,  as defined,  in the agreement  with the
FHLB. As of December 31, 1995, there were no amounts outstanding pursuant to the
agreements.

   Financing obtained from the FHLB, including the LIBOR Floater, is based in
part on the amount of qualifying collateral available, specifically U.S.
Treasury and agency securities, mortgage backed securities and residential real
estate loans. At December 31, 1995, collateral pledged to the FHLB included
approximately $11.1 million in FHLB capital stock.

NOTE NINE
RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSIDIARY DIVIDENDS

   Certain  restrictions  exist regarding the ability of the subsidiary banks to
transfer funds to the Parent Company in the form of cash dividends. The approval
of the bank's  applicable  primary regulator is required prior to the payment of
dividends by a subsidiary bank in excess of its earnings retained in the current
year plus  retained net profits for the preceding  two years.  During 1996,  the
subsidiary banks can, without prior regulatory  approval,  declare  dividends of
approximately  $10,965,000 to the Parent Company,  plus retained net profits for
the interim period through the date of such dividend declaration.

NOTE ELEVEN
RETIREMENT PLAN

   The City  Holding  Company  Profit  Sharing  and 401(k)  Plan (the Plan) is a
deferred  compensation  plan under section 401(k) of the Internal  Revenue Code.
All  employees who complete one year of service are eligible to  participate  in
the Plan.  Participants  may  contribute  from 1% to 15% of pre-tax  earnings to
their respective  accounts.  These  contributions may be invested in any of four
investment  options  selected  by the  employee,  one of which  is City  Holding
Company common stock.  The Company  matches 50% of the first 6% of  compensation
deferred by the  participant  with City Holding  Company  common  stock.  Profit
sharing contributions are discretionary, as determined annually by the Company's
Board  of  Directors.  The  Company's  total  expense  associated  with the Plan
approximated  $1,400,000,  $854,000,  and  $553,000  in 1995,  1994,  and  1993,
respectively.  The total number of shares of the Company's  common stock held by
the Plan is 118,939.

   The  Company  maintains  the  1993  Stock  Incentive  Plan  (Incentive  Plan)
applicable to key employees. Under the Incentive Plan, stock options are granted
at an amount no less than the fair value of the  Company's  common  stock on the
date of the grant.  Participants in the Incentive Plan may also be granted stock
appreciation  rights  and  stock  awards,  at the  discretion  of the  Company's
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. A maximum of 300,000 shares of
the  Company's  common  stock may be issued  pursuant to the  provisions  of the
Incentive  Plan.  Since  its  inception,  no awards  have  been  made  under the
Incentive Plan.

   One  of  the  Company's  recently  acquired  subsidiaries,   Merchants,   had
participated in a non-contributory defined benefit retirement plan which covered
its  eligible,  full-time  employees  prior to being  acquired by the Company in
August 1995. Management of the Company has frozen those employees' participation
in that plan as of December 31, 1995 and has declared the participants from that
plan  eligible to  participate  in the Company's Plan.

   Merchants  had  also  sponsored  contributory  defined  health  care and life
insurance plans that provided postretirement medical and life insurance benefits
to  qualifying  retirees.  The  Company  will  provide  for the  benefits of the
individuals  who  qualified  for those  benefits at the date of  acquisition  by
purchasing insurance contracts.  Having provided for those benefits, the Company
has terminated these plans effective December 31, 1995.

NOTE TWELVE
TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

   Subsidiaries  of the Company have granted loans to the officers and directors
of the Company and its  subsidiaries,  and to their  associates.  The loans were
made in the  ordinary  course of business and on  substantially  the same terms,
including  interest rates and collateral,  as those  prevailing at the same time
for comparable transactions with unrelated persons and did not involve more than
normal risk of  collectibility.  The aggregate amount of loans outstanding as of
December  31,  1995 and 1994,  attributable  directly  and  indirectly  to these
parties,  was approximately  $27,950,000 and $23,738,000,  respectively.  During
1995, $17,192,000 of new loans were made and repayments totaled $9,980,000.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

   In the normal course of business,  certain financial  products are offered by
the  Company  to  accommodate  the  financial  needs  of  its  customers.   Loan
commitments   (lines  of  credit)  represent  the  principal   off-balance-sheet
financial  product  offered  by the  Company.  At  December  31,  1995 and 1994,
commitments  outstanding to extend credit totaled approximately  $67,357,000 and
$48,409,000,  respectively.  To a much lesser extent, the Company offers standby
letters of credit which require  payments to be made on behalf of customers when
certain  specified  future events occur.  Amounts  outstanding  pursuant to such
standby letters of credit were $3,313,000 and $3,549,000 as of December 31, 1995
and 1994,  respectively.  Historically,  substantially  all  standby  letters of
credit have expired unfunded.

   Both of the above arrangements have credit risks essentially the same as that
involved  in  extending  loans to  customers  and are  subject to the  Company's
standard credit  policies.  Collateral is obtained based on management's  credit
assessment of the customer. Management  does  not  anticipate  any  material
losses  as a  result  of these commitments.

PREFERRED STOCK AND SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

   The Company's Board of Directors has the authority to issue preferred  stock,
and to fix  the  designation,  preferences,  rights,  dividends  and  all  other
attributes  of  such  preferred  stock,  without  any  vote  or  action  by  the
shareholders. As of December 31, 1995, there are no such shares outstanding, nor
are any  expected  to be issued,  except as might  occur  pursuant  to the Stock
Rights Plan discussed below.

   The  Company's  Stock  Rights Plan  provides  that each share of common stock
carries with it one right.  The rights would be exercisable  only if a person or
group,  as defined,  acquired  10% or more of the  Company's  common  stock,  or
announces a tender offer for such stock. Under conditions described in the Stock
Rights  Plan,  holders of rights  could  acquire  shares of  preferred  stock or
additional  shares of the Company's  common  stock,  or in the event of a 50% or
more  change-in-control,  shares of common stock of the  acquiror.  The value of
shares acquired under the plan would equal twice the exercise price.

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   FASB  Statement  No.  107,   "Disclosures   about  Fair  Value  of  Financial
Instruments,"  requires  disclosure of fair value  information  about  financial
instruments,  whether or not  recognized in the balance  sheet,  for which it is
practicable to estimate that value.  In cases where quoted market prices are not
available,  fair  values are based on  estimates  using  present  value or other
valuation  techniques.  Those  techniques  are  significantly  affected  by  the
assumptions  used,  including  the  discount  rate and  estimates of future cash
flows. In that regard,  the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated
by comparison to independent  markets and, in many cases,  could not be realized
in  immediate  settlement  of the  instrument.  SFAS No.  107  excludes  certain
financial  instruments  and all  nonfinancial  instruments  from its  disclosure
requirements.  Accordingly,  the aggregate  fair value amounts  presented do not
represent the underlying value of the Company.

   The  following  table  represents  the  estimates  of fair value of financial
instruments:

</TABLE>

   The following  methods and  assumptions  were used in  estimating  fair value
amounts for financial instruments:

   The fair values for the loan portfolio are estimated  using  discounted  cash
flow analyses at interest rates  currently  being offered for loans with similar
terms to borrowers of similar  credit  quality.  The carrying  values of accrued
interest approximate fair value.

   The fair values of demand  deposits  (i.e. interest  and  noninterest-bearing
checking, regular savings, and other types of money market demand accounts) are,
by definition,  equal to their carrying amounts. Fair values for certificates of
deposit are  estimated  using a discounted  cash flow  calculation  that applies
interest  rates  currently  being  offered  on  certificates  to a  schedule  of
aggregate expected monthly maturities of time deposits.

   Securities  sold under  agreements to repurchase  represent  borrowings  with
original  maturities  of less than 90 days.  The carrying  amounts of short-term
borrowings approximate their fair values.

   The fair values of long-term  borrowings are estimated using  discounted cash
flow analyses based on the Company's  current  incremental  borrowing  rates for
similar types of borrowing arrangements.

  The fair values of commitments are estimated  based on fees currently  charged
to enter into similar agreements,  taking into consideration the remaining terms
of the agreements and the  counterparties'  credit  standing.  The fair value of
letters of credit is based on fees currently  charged for similar  agreements or
on the estimated  cost to terminate  them or otherwise  settle them or otherwise
settle the obligations with the  counterparties  at the reporting date. The fair
values  approximated  the carrying  values of these  commitments  and letters of
credit as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and were not material.
