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 eight banking subsidiaries, and three non-banking
subsidiaries.  All of the subsidiaries are wholly-owned.  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. At
December 31, 1994, the Company had total assets of $781 million, total
deposits of $651 million and total stockholders' equity of $57 million.

  The Company's principal subsidiary bank is The City National Bank of
Charleston (City National), which was organized in 1957 and had  $272
million in total assets at December 31, 1994.  Through its main office,
City National serves the Kanawha City section of Charleston and
municipalities and rural areas east of the city.  City National also
operates full service branch banks in downtown Charleston, western
Charleston, the South Hills district of Charleston, St. Albans and Cross
Lanes.

  The Charleston metropolitan area served by City National is the
largest in West Virginia, with a population of approximately 270,000.
The state's capital city, Charleston, is served by three interstate
highways and the area's economy is diverse and strong in relation to the
economy of the state as a whole. A service center, Charleston provides
governmental, medical, financial and other services for the entire
state.  Major chemical companies and educational institutions also
contribute to the local economy.

  The Company completed its acquisition of The Peoples Bank of Point
Pleasant (Point Pleasant) in June 1987. Point Pleasant, a
state-chartered bank organized in 1965, conducts a general banking
business through its main office and two branch offices located in Mason
County, West Virginia, which has a population of approximately 27,000.
The Mason County economy primarily consists of dairy and crop farming
industries.  Point Pleasant had total assets of $103 million at December
31, 1994.

 In September 1988, the Company acquired First State Bank & Trust of
Rainelle, West Virginia (Rainelle). Rainelle, a state-chartered bank
incorporated in 1973, operates a full-service bank and two branch
offices in Greenbrier County, West Virginia.  In 1994, the Company
acquired the remaining 33% of the First National Bank-Beckley which was
subsequently merged into Rainelle. This merger expanded Rainelle into
Beckley (Raleigh County), West Virginia by adding two additional
branches. The Greenbrier County economy is primarily supported by the
mining, timber and farming industries.  Raleigh County is primarily
supported by the mining, retail and government industries.  Rainelle had
total assets of $74 million at December 31, 1994.

                                                                              8

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

CITY HOLDING COMPANY (CONTINUED)


 In October 1988, the Company acquired Bank of Ripley (Ripley).  Ripley,
a state-chartered institution organized in 1891, is located in Jackson
County, West Virginia.  Ripley operates a full-service bank with an
emphasis on retail or consumer banking.  The Jackson County economy is
primarily supported by the farming and timber industries. Ripley had $64
million in total assets at December 31, 1994.

  The Company acquired Home National Bank of Sutton, West Virginia (Home
National) in May 1992.  Home National, organized in 1909, operates a
full service bank and one branch office in Braxton County, West
Virginia. The Braxton County economy is primarily supported by the
mining, timber, and farming industries.  Home National had total assets
of $63 million at December 31, 1994.

  In August 1992, the Company began operations of Blue Ridge Bank (Blue
Ridge), a de novo institution chartered as a state nonmember bank.  Blue
Ridge, a full service bank, is located in Martinsburg, West Virginia.
In October 1993, Blue Ridge assumed the insured deposits and purchased
certain facilities and an insignificant amount of performing loans of
the former Shenandoah Federal Savings Association in a cash transaction
with the Resolution Trust Corporation. This acquisition, which added
approximately $40 million in deposits, expanded Blue Ridge from two
offices to seven, located in Berkeley, Jefferson, Morgan and Grant
counties. The economy of Martinsburg and surrounding communities is
primarily supported by the wholesale and retail trade, service and
government industries.  Blue Ridge had total assets of $100 million at
December 31, 1994.

 The Company acquired The Buffalo Bank of Eleanor (Buffalo) in December
1992. Buffalo, a state-chartered bank organized in 1919, operates a full
service bank and a branch office in Putnam County, West Virginia. The
Putnam County economy consists of agriculture, retail and governmental
industries.  Buffalo had total assets of $59 million at December 31,
1994. In January, 1995, the Company renamed Buffalo as Peoples State
Bank (Peoples Bank) and a new location was opened in Clarksburg,
Harrison County, West Virginia.

  The Company acquired Hinton Financial Corporation and its subsidiary,
The First National Bank of Hinton, West Virginia (Hinton) in December
1994.  Hinton, organized in 1974, operates a full service bank in
Summers County, West Virginia.  Summers County is primarily supported by
the railroad and government industries. Hinton had total assets of $67
million at December 31, 1994.

   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 primary office located in City National's main location.  Both of
these companies were formed primarily 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 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.



                                                                              9

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 .92% in 1994.  Return on average equity (ROE), which
measures the return on stockholders' investment, was 12.01% in 1994. The
Company's ROA and ROE were 1.01% and 11.81%, respectively, in 1993.
Earnings per share for 1994 were $1.85, an increase of approximately
8.2% from the $1.71 per share reported in 1993. 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 $781 million at December 31,
1994 and achieved $7.0 million in net income for the year then ended.
Total assets increased 10.5% over the 1993 total of $707 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 $6.4 million and $5.9 million reported for 1993 and 1992,
respectively.

  The acquisition of Hinton 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 Hinton as though it were
acquired at the beginning of the earliest period presented. For further
information concerning the 1994 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 $108.6 million from 1993 to
1994 and $113.8 million from 1992 to 1993. 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 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 insured by an Agency of the United States
government.  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 serviced by third parties and the
Company earns a fixed rate of return on the loans.  The Company earned
approximately $1.9 million during 1994 on an average balance of
approximately $21.2 million.  These loans are being funded through
short-term borrowings which consist primarily of securities sold under
agreement to repurchase.

  Average short-term borrowings increased $24.9 million from 1993 to
1994.  The average rate paid by the Company for short-term borrowings
increased 156 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.  While all subsidiaries have experienced loan
growth, Rainelle and Blue Ridge have generated the most loan volume in
1994, with increases of 43% and 198%, respectively.

   In response to the significant growth in loans, average investment
securities had a slight increase of $1.0 million during 1994. The
overall yield on investments has decreased from 1993 as a result of a
more liquid portfolio and the reinvestment in 1994 of proceeds from
matured or called securities during a period of declining market
interest rates.

 Average investment securities increased $27.8 million during 1993
principally because of the increase in deposits and short-term
borrowings as well as a reduction in federal funds sold for the same
period.

   Long-term debt, representing obligations of the Parent Company,
consists of amounts borrowed to fund the purchase of Buffalo common
stock and the related recapitalization of Buffalo, and to provide Blue
Ridge with additional capital in connection with its 1993 acquisition of
certain assets and deposits of the former Shenandoah Federal Savings
Association.  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 $4.2 million during 1994. The average yield on earning assets
decreased from 8.23% in 1993 to 7.94% in 1994, while the average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 3.81% to 3.68% over this
same period.  This had the effect of decreasing the net yield on earning
assets from 4.96% in 1993 to 4.79% in 1994.

 The $2.1 million decrease in net interest income due to rate, as shown
in Table Three which follows, was coupled with a $6.3 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 $4.0 million in 1993. The $5.8 million increase caused by
changes in volume was offset by a $1.8 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 1994. There are no known trends, demands,
commitments or uncertainties that have resulted or are reasonably likely
to result in material changes in liquidity.

  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, 1994, the one year period shows a negative gap
(liability sensitive) of $328 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
respected period. After management adjustments, Table Four shows a
negative gap in the one year period of $137 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 affect 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 1995.  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. In
any event, the Company intends to increase the repricing frequency of
interest-earning assets, particularly through variable-rate loan
products, to achieve a less volatile gap position.

  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, 1994, the Parent Company had $6,875,000 in long-term
debt outstanding. These funds were used primarily to provide Blue Ridge
with additional capital in connection with its 1993 acquisition of the
former Shenandoah Federal. Total debt service for the Parent Company in
1995 will approximate $560,000 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 $6.2 million available for
transfer from its subsidiary banks as of January 1, 1995.  Subsidiary
bank earnings in 1995 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, is 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 1994 due to the
purchases of loans held for sale and was generated from operating
activities in 1993 and 1992. 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.  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 interest-bearing deposits.

                                                                 13

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

   During 1994, the Company charged-off $1,093,000 of loans that were
doubtful as to collection and had recoveries of $393,000.  The resulting
net charge-offs of $700,000 decreased 34% from that reported in 1993.
Net charge- offs increased approximately 15%, or $138,000 in 1993 versus
1992.  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 decreased 13 basis points when comparing 1994 to
1993.  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 $953,000 in
1994 represents .21% of average loans as compared to a $1,341,000 or
.37% provision in 1993.  The decreased provision for 1994 is primarily
due to lower net charge-offs as discussed above.  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.
See NOTE FIVE to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for a
discussion of concentrations of credit risk.

 The allowance for loan losses was $6,017,000 or 1.23% of net loans, as
of December 31, 1994, compared to $5,764,000 or 1.41% of net loans in
1993.  In management's opinion, the consolidated allowance for loan
losses is adequate to provide for any potential losses on existing
loans.

 Nonperforming loans, consisting of nonaccrual, past-due and
restructured credits, increased approximately $914,000 in 1994.  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, 1994, loans
aggregating $529,000 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 131% at December 31, 1994, as compared to 125% and 102% at December
31, 1993 and 1992.

allowance for loan losses.

  DURING 1994, THE COMPANY RECOGNIZED APPROXIMATELY $119,000 OF INTEREST
INCOME RECEIVED IN CASH ON NONACCRUAL AND RESTRUCTURED LOANS.
APPROXIMATELY $229,000 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, 1994.

 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.

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
$503,000 or 27% when comparing 1994 to 1993. Approximately half of this
increase is attributable to fees charged in the normal course of
business on the additional $40 million in deposits acquired by Blue
Ridge from the former Shenandoah Federal Savings Association in late
1993.

   Other income increased $2.3 million during 1994.  This increase was
related to an insurance recovery of $1.4 million at one of the Company's
subsidiary banks. An additional $280,000 in fees was generated from
services provided by City Financial and City Mortgage during their first
year of operations and approximately $360,000 in fees were generated
from overall loan growth during 1994.

 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 1993 or 1992.  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 investment 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 $5.5 million, or 26.2%, 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 $2.5 million is attributable to
the Company's overall growth during 1994, which produced higher
personnel costs throughout the organization.  Total other expenses
increased $5.0 million, or 31.7%, during 1993 due primarily to $1.9
million in expenses incurred by Buffalo and Beckley with no expenses for
these purchased subsidiaries included in the 1992 results.  In addition,
Blue Ridge had $157,000 in other expenses in 1992 for the first four
months of operation compared to $1.2 million in 1993 for a full year.
The additional increase of $2.1 million in 1993 is attributable to the
Company's overall growth during that year.

                                                                             18
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, 1994, 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

REGULATORY MINIMUM
  TIER 1 RISK-BASED (DOLLAR/RATIO) $  19,677/4.00%    $  16,036/4.00%
  TOTAL RISK-BASED (DOLLAR/RATIO)     39,354/8.00        32,072/8.00
  LEVERAGE (DOLLAR/RATIO)             23,628/3.00        20,862/3.00

  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
1995.  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.

                                                                             19
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION &ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

INCOME TAXES

   Income tax expense was $3,193,000 in 1994, resulting in an effective
tax rate of 31.5% for the year.  Such rates were 31.4% and 29.8% in 1993
and 1992, respectively. The effective tax rate from 1993 to 1994
remained relatively unchanged.  The increase in the effective tax rate
from 1992 to 1993 is principally the result of a decreased mix of
tax-exempt income relative to total earnings.

 As more fully discussed in NOTE TEN to the audited Consolidated
Financial Statements, the Company prospectively adopted the liability
method of accounting for income taxes during 1992, without material
effect. At December 31, 1994, gross deferred tax assets total
approximately $5.0 million.  Such assets are primarily attributable to
the allowance for loan losses ($2 million), acquired (NOL) carryforwards
($777,000), certain nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements
sponsored by subsidiary banks ($436,000) and securities available for
sale ($1.4 million).  Pursuant to management's evaluation for the
quarter ended December 31, 1994, 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, 1994, 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.

                                                                             20
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, 1994 and 1993, 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, 1994.  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, 1993 or 1992 consolidated financial statements of Hinton Financial
Corporation and subsidiary which statements reflect total revenues
constituting 8%, 10%  and 12% of the 1994, 1993 and 1992 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, 1994 and 1993, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

 As discussed in NOTE FOUR to the consolidated financial statements,
City Holding Company changed its method of accounting for certain debt
and equity securities as of January 1, 1994.

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.  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.

 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: 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, 1994 and 1993, 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.  At December 31, 1994, 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.

  At December 31, 1993, equity securities were stated at the lower of
cost or market value, while debt securities were carried at amortized
cost. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are computed by the
specific identification method and are reported separately in the
consolidated statements of income.

  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.

 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 cost or estimated
fair value.

   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.

   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.

CITY HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

 INTANGIBLES: Intangible assets, which are included in other assets in
the consolidated balance sheets, are comprised of goodwill and core
deposits which are amortized using straight-line (15 year life) and
accelerated methods (10 year life), respectively, over their estimated
useful lives.

  During 1994, the Company purchased mortgage loan servicing rights
totaling $1,200,000 which are also included in other assets in the
consolidated balance sheets. The servicing rights are being 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 (included in
other assets)  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.

 NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE: Net income per common share is based on
the weighted average common shares outstanding during each year. 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, and all stock related data in the
consolidated financial statements reflects the stock dividend.A 10%
stock dividend was also declared in 1992.  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 $21,998,000, $19,693,000 and $19,996,000 in 1994, 1993,  and
1992, respectively.  Cash paid for income taxes was $3,219,000,
$2,877,000, and $2,957,000 in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. NOTE
TWO 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, 1994, was approximately
$4,366,000.

ACQUISITIONS

   On December 5, 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 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 Hinton. Previously reported results
of the Company have been restated as follows:

  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.  Minority interest, representing
the equity interest in FNB owned by stockholders other than the Company,
appears in the 1993 balance sheet as a liability.

  On October 15, 1993, Blue Ridge Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, was declared the successful bidder for the purchase of certain
assets and the assumption of the insured deposits and certain other
liabilities of a failed thrift which had been in conservatorship with
the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC).  Blue Ridge Bank assumed insured
deposits of approximately $43 million in exchange for assets
(principally cash and cash equivalents) of approximately $40 million
from the RTC.

  The FNB and RTC transactions were accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations
attributable to such acquisitions have been included in the consolidated
totals from the respective dates of acquisition.  Due to the
immateriality of the transactions and the significant assets retained by
the RTC with respect to the failed thrift, proforma financial
information has not been presented herein.

  Intangible assets arising from prior year purchase business
combinations consist of core deposits and goodwill which have an
aggregate unamortized balance at December 31, 1994 and 1993, of
$4,978,000 and $5,538,000, respectively.


                                                                             28

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.  In accordance with SFAS No.
115, prior years' financial statements have not been restated to reflect
the change in accounting method and there was no cumulative effect of
adopting the Statement.  Under SFAS No. 115, investment securities are
carried at amortized cost and securities available for sale are carried
at fair value with the after-tax net unrealized gain or loss recorded in
stockholders' equity.  The adoption of SFAS No. 115 resulted in an
increase in stockholders' equity of $1,055,000.

   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 effects on income of nonaccrual loans, as well as
their outstanding balances, were not material.

   During 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.
Additionally, the Company began originating residential mortgage loans
to be sold on the secondary market.  Due to the short-term nature of
these loans, the recorded value approximates fair value.  At December
31, 1994, the Company's investment in loans held for sale approximated
$30,227,000. A summary of changes in the allowance for possible loan
losses follows:

  The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued SFAS No.
114, "Accounting By Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which was
amended by SFAS No. 118. The provisions of SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994.  SFAS
No. 114 requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present
value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective
interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable
market price or fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent.  The Company will adopt this Statement on January 1, 1995 and
it will not have a material effect on the Company's financial
statements.

LONG-TERM DEBT AND UNUSED LINES OF CREDIT

 Long-term debt, which represents an obligation of the Parent Company,
consists of a $10,000,000 revolving credit loan with an unrelated party.
The loan has a variable rate (7.9375% at December 31, 1994) with
interest payments due quarterly and principal due at maturity in June
1995.  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) and
The Peoples Bank of Point Pleasant, as collateral for the revolving
credit loan.

  During 1994, five of the Company's subsidiaries were approved for
membership, joining City National who was approved in 1993, in the FHLB.
On a consolidated basis, the Company has purchased 44,000 shares of the
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, 1994, the subsidiaries have been issued one
year flexline commitments of $61,725,000, at prevailing interest rates,
from the FHLB with maturities ranging from June to December 1995.  Such
commitments are subject to satisfying the Capital Stock Requirement
provisions, as defined, in the agreement with the FHLB.  As of December
31, 1994, amounts outstanding pursuant to the agreements totaled
$12,707,000.

                                                                             32

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 1995, the subsidiary banks
can, without prior regulatory approval, declare dividends of
approximately $6,214,000 to the Parent Company, plus retained net
profits for the interim period through the date of such dividend
declaration.

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 $881,000, $562,000, and $403,000 in 1994, 1993, and
1992, respectively.  The total number of shares of the Company's common
stock held by the Plan is 120,492.  Other than the Plan, the Company
offers no postretirement benefits.

    In May 1993, the Company formed 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.

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, 1994 and 1993, attributable directly and indirectly to
these parties, was approximately $20,089,000 and $18,898,000,
respectively.  During 1994, $6,693,000 of new loans were made and
repayments totaled $5,502,000.

   A director of one of the Company's subsidiaries is the President of a
non-affiliated financial institution that participates in the whole-loan
bulk purchasing program (See NOTE FIVE).

INCOME

 Included in other income in 1994 is $1,400,000 related to an insurance
recovery at one of the Company's subsidiary banks.  Additionally, in
1994 the Company became involved in the secondary market for mortgage
loans which generated fee income of $317,000.

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, 1994 and 1993, commitments outstanding to extend credit totaled
approximately $45,776,000 and $25,252,000, 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 $3,161,000 and $780,000 as of December
31, 1994 and 1993, 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.

NOTE SIXTEEN
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, 1994, 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.



                                                                             35

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:

  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.



                                                                             36

  Advances from affiliates, which eliminate for purposes of the
Company's consolidated financial statements, represent amounts borrowed
from banking subsidiaries to fund the purchase of certain bank premises
and to meet other cash needs of the parent.  Such debt is collateralized
by the securities and fixed assets of the Parent Company.  Interest is
due quarterly at prime with principal due at maturity in 1997.  The
maximum available credit under the advance is subject to the
subsidiaries' legal lending limit which approximated $6,356,000 at year
end.

PENDING MERGER

  In March 1995, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire
First Merchants Bancorp in Montgomery, West Virginia (Merchants). At
December 31, 1994, Merchants reported total assets of approximately $115
million. The merger, which is expected to be consummated in the third
quarter of 1995, involves the exchange of approximately 920,000 shares
of Company common stock for all of Merchants' outstanding shares. It is
anticipated that the transaction will be accounted for under the pooling
of interests method of accounting. The following condensed unaudited
proforma financial information presents selected balance sheet amounts
and operating results of the Company and Merchants as though they had
been combined during all periods indicated below.
