The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which are unaudited, include all the accounts of City Holding Company (the Parent Company) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements include all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition for each of the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. The Company's accounting and reporting policies conform with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Such policies require management to make estimates and develop assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related footnotes. Actual results could differ from management's estimates. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the City Holding Company annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. NOTE B - INCOME TAXES The consolidated provision for income taxes is based upon financial statement earnings. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1996, of 30.50% varied from the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes and the tax effects of nontaxable interest income and the amortization of goodwill. PAGE 7 OF 111 NOTE C - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES In the normal course of business, there are various commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, that are not included in the consolidated financial statements. These commitments approximate $68,029,000 at March 31, 1996. These arrangements, consisting principally of unused lines of credit issued in the normal course of business, have credit risks essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and are subject to the Company's standard credit policies. Standby letters of credit, which total $3,567,000, have historically expired unfunded. NOTE D - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY The Company maintains an Open Market Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan) whereby the Board of Directors have allocated $5 million to be used to purchase shares of the Company's common stock through May 1996. The Plan as of March 31, 1996 has reacquired approximately 87,000 shares at market prices ranging from $23.30 to $24.08 per share for total purchases of approximately $2,286,000. NOTE E - ACCOUNTING FOR MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights," which requires that entities recognize rights to service mortgage loans for others as separate assets, whether those rights are acquired through loan origination or purchase activities. Additionally, management must periodically assess its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. The adoption of SFAS No. 122 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. PAGE 8 OF 111 NOTE F - LONG-TERM BORROWINGS Long-term debt consists of a $20,000,000 revolving line of credit of the Parent Company with a variable rate based on the lesser of the adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.875% per annum or the lender's base rate less .25% per annum (7.1875% at March 31, 1996) due on June 30, 1996. As of March 31, 1996, the outstanding balance was equal to $18,200,000. Interest on this obligation is payable quarterly, and the Parent Company has pledged the common stock of The City National Bank of Charleston, The Peoples Bank of Point Pleasant, First State Bank and Trust, Merchants National Bank and The Home National Bank of Sutton as security for the loan. Management intends to refinance this loan according to the provisions provided in the agreement. During 1995, a subsidiary obtained long-term financing from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) in the form of a Long-Term LIBOR Floater with maximum available credit of $5 million. At March 31, 1996, $5 million was outstanding with an interest rate of 5.4185%. The agreement matures in December, 1998. PAGE 9 OF 111 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS HIGHLIGHTS FINANCIAL POSITION Total assets increased $14.0 million or approximately 1.3% during the first three months of 1996. Net loans decreased $2.9 million or 0.4%. Loans held for sale, consisting primarily of loans received through the Company's participation in a short-term whole loan bulk purchasing program, increased $43 million or 35.2%. As of March 31, 1996, program loans owned by the Company had an outstanding principal balance of approximately $139.8 million. See LOAN PORTFOLIO. The Company earned interest income of approximately $3,230,000 on program loans during the first quarter of 1996. See NET INTEREST INCOME. The increase in loans held for sale was funded primarily by the various securities sales, calls and maturities of $47.7 million, plus the $15.4 million increase in deposits. Net stockholders' equity increased $1.1 million during the first three months of 1996 representing the Company's retained net profits. QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996, COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995. The Company reported net income of $2,461,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to net income of $2,040,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995. This increase of $421,000, or 20.6%, was primarily due to an increase of $1,703,000 in the Company's net interest income during the first quarter of 1996 as compared to the same period of 1995. However, the increase in net interest income did not translate into a corresponding PAGE 10 OF 111 increase in net income because of the level of non-interest expense associated with the Company's expansion of its Operations Center, which increased $1,709,000 or 21.9% during the first quarter of 1996 as compared to the same period of 1995. See NET INTEREST INCOME. Earnings per share were $.48 and $.40 for the first quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively. Total other income, excluding securities transactions, increased $606,000 or 48.6% primarily due to fees generated from increased loans held for sale volume and return item fees on deposits collected through the ordinary course of business. SELECTED RATIOS The return on average assets (ROA) for the first quarter of 1996 was .93% compared to .92% in the first quarter of 1995. The return on average shareholder's equity (ROE) for the first quarter of 1996 was 13.24% compared to 12.38% ROE for the first quarter of 1995. The dividend payout ratio of 35.42% for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 represents a decrease of 2.29% from the dividend payout ratio of 36.25% for the quarter ended March 31, 1995. Since 1988, the Company has paid dividends on a quarterly basis, and expects to continue to do so in the future. PAGE 11 OF 111 LOAN PORTFOLIO The composition of the Company's loan portfolio is presented in the following table: LOAN PORTFOLIO BY TYPE (Dollars in Thousands) March 31 December 31 1996 1995 -------- ------- Commercial, financial and agricultural $ 215,540 $ 214,304 Real Estate-Mortgage 277,702 277,608 Real Estate-Construction 26,175 27,240 Installment and other 142,125 145,734 Unearned Income (7,576) (8,125) --------- --------- TOTAL $ 653,966 $ 656,761 ========= ========= Loans Held for Sale Program loans $ 139,799 $ 101,843 Loans Originated for Sale 25,463 20,379 --------- --------- TOTAL $ 165,262 $ 122,222 ========= ========= The Company grants loans to customers generally within the market areas of its subsidiaries. Loans have been trending up significantly over the past two years primarily due to the Company's more active solicitation of commercial business, introduction of new loan products, and continued expansion. There have been no significant changes in the Company's loan policy or credit standards. The Company continues to shift its marketing efforts more towards direct loan business. There are no significant concentrations of credit and speculative or highly leveraged transactions are insignificant. Also, in order to increase the repricing frequency of the loan portfolio, the Company has significantly increased its portfolio of variable rate commercial and residential mortgage loans. PAGE 12 OF 111 ASSET QUALITY AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The following table summarizes the Company's risk elements for the periods ending March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995. The Company's coverage ratio of nonperforming assets and potential problem loans continues to be strong, at 119% as of March 31, 1996. Management is of the opinion that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for probable future losses inherent in the portfolio.

These activities are set forth in the City Holding Company Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included elsewhere herein. Cash was used in operating activities in each period presented, primarily from loans originated for sale and purchase of loans held for sale. Net cash was used in investing activities during the first quarter of 1995 funding the Company's loan growth. Net cash was provided by investing activities during the first quarter of 1996 due primarily to maturing investment securities. The net cash provided by financing activities in the respective periods is a result of an increase in interest-bearing deposits. In 1995, financing activities provided cash due to the increase in short-term borrowings. The Company seeks to maintain a strong liquidity position to reduce interest rate risk, which is the susceptibility of assets and liabilities to decline in value as a result of changes in general market interest rates. The Company minimizes this risk through asset and liability management, where the goal is to optimize earnings while managing interest rate risk. The Company measures this interest rate risk through interest sensitivity gap analysis as illustrated in the following table. At March 31, 1996, the one year period shows a negative gap (liability sensitive) of $254 million. This analysis is a "static gap" presentation and movements in deposit rates offered by the Company's subsidiary banks lag behind movements in the prime rate. Such time lags affect the repricing frequency of many items on the Company's balance sheet. Accordingly, the sensitivity of deposits to changes in market rates may differ significantly from the related contractual terms. The table is first presented without adjustment for expected repricing behavior. Then, as presented in the "management adjustment" line, these balances PAGE 15 OF 111 have been notionally distributed over the first three periods to reflect those portions of such accounts that are expected to reprice fully with market rates over the respective periods. The distribution of the balances over the repricing periods represents an aggregation of such allocations by each of the affiliate banks, and is based upon historical experience with their individual markets and customers. Management expects to continue the same pricing methodology in response to future market rate changes; however, management adjustments may change as customer preferences, competitive market conditions, liquidity, and loan growth change. Also presented in the management adjustment line are loan prepayment assumptions which may differ from the related contractual term of the loans. These balances have been distributed over the four periods to reflect those loans that are expected to be repaid in full prior to their maturity date over the respected periods. After management adjustments, the table shows a negative gap in the one year period of $51 million. A negative gap position is advantageous when interest rates are falling because interest-bearing liabilities are being repriced at lower rates and in greater volume, which has a positive effect on net interest income. Consequently, the Company has experienced a decline in its net interest margin during the past year and is somewhat vulnerable to a rapid rise in interest rates during 1996. These declines in net interest margin did not translate into declines in net interest income because of increases in the volume of interest-earning assets. There are no known trends, demands, commitments or uncertainties that have resulted or are reasonably likely to result in material changes in liquidity.

PAGE 17 OF 111 CAPITAL RESOURCES As a bank holding company, City Holding Company is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. In January 1989, the Federal Reserve published risk-based capital guidelines in final form which are applicable to bank holding companies. Such guidelines define items in the calculation of risk-weighted assets. At March 31, 1996, the regulatory minimum ratio of qualified total capital to riskweighted assets (including certain off-balance-sheet items, such as standby letters of credit) is 8 percent. At least half of the total capital is to be comprised of "Tier 1 capital", or the Company's common stockholders' equity, and minority interest in consolidated subsidiary, net of intangibles. The remainder ("Tier 2 capital") may consist of certain other prescribed instruments and a limited amount of loan loss reserves. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has established minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to quarterly average tangible assets) guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum ratio of 3 percent for bank holding companies that meet certain specified criteria, including that they have the highest regulatory rating. All other bank holding companies will be required to maintain a leverage ratio of 3 percent plus an additional cushion of a least 100 to 200 basis points. The guidelines also provide that banking organizations experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels, without significant reliance on intangible assets. The following table presents comparative capital ratios and related dollar amounts of capital for the Company: PAGE 18 OF 111 Dollars in Thousands March 31 December 31 1996 1995 ---- ---- Capital Components Tier 1 risk-based capital $67,907 $66,260 Total risk-based capital 74,540 72,826 Capital Ratios Tier 1 risk-based 8.78% 8.87% Total risk-based 9.63 9.75 Leverage 6.42 6.45 Regulatory Minimum Tier 1 risk-based (dollar/ratio) $30,949/4.00% $29,888/4.00% Total risk-based (dollar/ratio) 61,898/8.00 59,776/8.00 Leverage (dollar/ratio) 31,734/3.00 30,801/3.00 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 Company. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income, on a fully federal tax-equivalent basis, improved from the first quarter of 1995 to the first quarter of 1996 by approximately $1,674,000 due to an increase in net earning assets. Net yield on earning assets decreased between periods from 4.84% to PAGE 19 OF 111 4.70%, as earning asset yields increased 32 basis points (100 basis points equal one percent) to 8.59%, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 56 basis points to 4.49%. The $530,000 decrease in net interest income due to rate, as shown in the following table, was coupled with a $2,204 000 increase in net interest income due to volume. The major component of this favorable volume change was increased average loans and average loans held for sale. A significant part of the increase in net earning assets for the first quarter of 1996 is attributable to the Company's participation in a short-term, whole-loan bulk purchasing program. Under the program, the Company purchases from a third party whole loans secured by residential mortgages and partially insured by the Federal Housing Association. The loans typically have balances of less than $25,000 and are not concentrated geographically. Additionally, the program permits the Company to require the seller to repurchase or replace certain non-performing loans. The loans are generally repurchased from the Company within 30 to 90 days. Although the loans usually are located outside the Company's primary market areas, management believes that these loans pose no greater risk than similar "in-market" loans because of the Company's review of the loans, the credit support associated with the loans, the short duration of the Company's investment and the other terms of the program. The loans are generally serviced by third parties and the Company earns a fixed rate of return on the loans. The Company earned approximately $3,230,000 in interest income on program loans for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 compared to $395,000 in interest income for the same period in 1995. These loans are being funded through short-term borrowings which consist primarily of securities sold under agreement to repurchase.
