                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

                                  June 30, 1998

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, 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 and six month periods ended June 30, 1998,
are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that can be expected
for the year ending  December 31, 1998.  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  consolidated  financial
statements and related footnotes.  Actual results could differ from management's
estimates.  Certain amounts in the unaudited  consolidated  financial statements
have been reclassified.  Such  reclassifications  had no impact on net income or
stockholders' equity in any period presented. 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, 1997.





NOTE B - MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

      On August 7, 1998,  the Company  announced that it had signed a definitive
agreement to merge with Horizon Bancorp,  Inc. Expected to be accounted for as a
pooling of interests,  the merger  entails an exchange of $45.00 in City Holding
common stock, subject to adjustment, for each share of Horizon common stock. If,
based on trading prices near the closing of the  transaction,  the value of City
Holding stock is between $40.50 and $44.40,  Horizon  shareholders  will receive
$45.00 in City Holding  common stock.  If the value of City Holding common stock
is less than $40.50,  Horizon  shareholders  will  receive  1.111 shares of City
Holding stock. If the value of City Holding common stock is greater than $44.50,
Horizon shareholders will receive 1.011 shares of City Holding stock. The merger
is  subject  to the  approval  of City  Holding  and  Horizon  shareholders  and
applicable  regulatory  authorities  and is expected  to close  during the first
quarter of 1999. Horizon has granted City Holding the option,  exercisable under
certain circumstances, to purchase up to 19.9% of Horizon shares of common stock
outstanding and City Holding has granted Horizon a similar option on its own 
shares of common stock.

      Effective  April 1, 1998, the Company  consummated  its acquisition of Del
Amo Savings Bank, FSB (Del Amo). Del Amo is a federally  chartered savings bank,
headquartered  in Torrance,  California  with total assets and total deposits of
approximately  $116 million and $102 million,  respectively,  at March 31, 1998.
The  merger  involved  the  exchange  of  approximately  261,000  shares  of the
Company's  common  stock  for all of the  outstanding  shares  of Del Amo.  This
transaction   was  accounted  for  under  the  purchase  method  of  accounting.
Accordingly,  the results of operations  have been included in the  consolidated
totals  from  the  date of  acquisition.  Due to the  immaterial  impact  on the
Company's financial  statements,  no proforma  information has been included for
the information provided herein.

      In January 1998,  City National Bank of West Virginia (City  National),  a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company,  acquired  Jarrett/Aim  Communications,
Inc.  (Jarrett/Aim).  Jarrett/Aim is a printing and direct mail corporation.  In
March 1998, City National  acquired Morton Specialty  Insurance  Partners,  Inc.
(Morton Insurance).  Morton Insurance offers property and casualty insurance and
bonding programs to established commercial and industrial clients,  primarily in
energy-related  industries.  In  April  1998,  City  National  acquired  CityNet



Corporation (CityNet) and MarCom, Inc. (MarCom). Both companies provide internet
access to business and individual subscribers. These transactions were accounted
for under the  purchase  method  of  accounting.  Accordingly,  the  results  of
operations  attributable  to  these  transactions  have  been  included  in  the
consolidated  totals  from  the  dates  of  the  acquisitions.   The  assets  of
Jarrett/Aim,  Morton Insurance, CityNet and MarCom represent less than 1% of the
total  assets of the  Company.  Accordingly,  no proforma  information  has been
included for the information provided herein.

NOTE C - STRATEGIC INVESTMENT

      On June 29,  1998,  the Company  (through  City  National)  completed  its
strategic  investment in Mego Mortgage Corporation (Mego), a specialty financial
services company that originates and purchases  conventional  home  improvement,
high loan-to-value debt  consolidation,  and other similar loans. As part of the
overall  recapitalization  of Mego completed by several  investors,  the Company
invested  $10  million to acquire  10,000  shares of Mego's  Series A  Preferred
Stock,  which is convertible  into 6.7 million shares of Mego common stock.  The
Company also acquired an option to purchase an additional  6.7 million shares of
Mego  common  stock  at a  price  of  $1.50  per  share.  Concurrent  with  this
investment,  City National (through its loan servicing  division,  City Mortgage
Services)  acquired the right to service  approximately $536 million of consumer
mortgage loans previously serviced by Mego and the exclusive right to service up
to an additional $ 1 billion of mortgage loans originated or acquired by Mego in
the future.

NOTE D - TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES

      During  March  1998,   City  Holding   Capital  Trust  (the  "Trust"),   a
special-purpose statutory trust subsidiary of the Company, issued $30 million of
preferred   capital   securities   (the  "Capital   Securities")   to  qualified
institutional  buyers and $928,000 of common securities (the "Common Securites")
to the Company.  Distributions  on the Capital  Securities will be payable at an
annual rate of 9.15%,  payable  semi-annually,  and each Capital  Security has a
stated  liquidation amount of $1,000. To fund the Trust, the Company sold to the
Trust Junior Subordinated  Debentures (the "Debentures") with terms identical to
the Capital Securities. Cash distributions on the Capital Securities are made to
the extent  interest on the  Debentures  is received by the Trust.  The Company,
through various agreements,  has irrevocably and unconditionally  guaranteed all



of the Trust's obligations under the Capital Securities regarding the payment of
distributions   and  payment  on   liquidation  or  redemption  of  the  Capital
Securities,  but only to the extent of funds held by the Trust.  In the event of
certain  changes or amendments to regulatory  requirements or federal tax rules,
the  Capital  Securities  are  redeemable  in whole  at par or,  if  greater,  a
make-whole amount. Otherwise, the Capital Securities are generally redeemable in
whole or in part on or after  April 1, 2008,  at a  declining  redemption  price
ranging from  104.58% to 100% of the  liquidation  amount.  On or after April 1,
2018, the Capital Securities may be redeemed at 100% of the liquidation  amount.
After deducting expenses incurred in the issuance, the Company received proceeds
of $29.2 million from the Capital Securities offering.

      The offering of the Capital  Securities is classified as and is similar to
a minority  interest  and is  presented  as  "Corporation-obligated  mandatorily
redeemable   capital   securities  of  subsidiary  trust  holding   subordinated
debentures  of City Holding  Company." The Company may include the proceeds from
the  Capital  Securities  offering  in its  Tier I  capital,  and the  Company's
payments on the  Debentures  are fully tax  deductible.

NOTE E - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

      Effective  January 1,  1998,  the  Company  adopted  Financial  Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Statement 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income.  Statement
130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive  income
and its components; however, the adoption of this Statement had no impact on the
Company's net income or shareholders' equity.  Statement 130 requires unrealized
gains or  losses on the  Company's  securities,  which  prior to  adoption  were
reported   separately  in  shareholders'   equity,   to  be  included  in  other
comprehensive  income. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the  requirements of Statement 130. For the six months in the periods
ended June 30,  1998 and 1997,  total  comprehensive  income  approximated  $6.9
million  and $6.6  million,  respectively.  For the three  months in the periods
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, comprehensive income approximated $3.6 million and
$4.2 million, respectively.



      As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial  Assets and  Extinguishment
of Liabilities," relating to repurchase agreements, securities lending and other
similar transactions and pledged collateral,  which had been delayed until after
December 31, 1997 by SFAS No. 127,  "Deferral of the  Effective  Date of Certain
Provisions  of FASB  Statement  125, an  amendment of FASB  Statement  125." The
effect of adopting the  additional  provisions  of  Statement  125 as amended by
Statement  127 had no material  impact on the  Company's  financial  position or
results of operations.  During 1997, the FASB issued Statement 131, "Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which is effective for
fiscal years beginning  after December 15, 1997. This statement  requires public
companies to disclose certain information about reportable operating segments in
complete sets of financial  statements  of the company and in interim  condensed
financial  statements.  However, the provisions of this statement do not require
the  disclosure of segment  information in interim  financial  statements in the
initial year of application;  therefore no such disclosures are included herein.
These  disclosure  requirements  will have no effect on the Company's  financial
position or results of operations.

NOTE F - LONG-TERM BORROWINGS

     Long-term debt consists of a $35,000,000 revolving line of credit of the
Parent Company with a variable rate based on the lesser of the adjusted LIBOR
rate plus 1.50% per annum or the lender's base rate less .25% per annum
(7.15625% at June 30, 1998) due on December 31, 1998. As of June 30, 1998, the
outstanding balance was $11,150,000. Interest on this obligation is payable
quarterly, and the Parent Company has pledged the common stock of City National
as collateral for the revolving credit loan. Management intends to refinance
this loan according to the provisions provided in the agreement. The Company
paid $27 million on the line of credit in April 1998 with proceeds received from
the issuance of the Trust Preferred Securities (See Note D).

      City National  maintains  long-term  financing  from the Federal Home Loan
Bank (FHLB) in the form of Long-Term LIBOR Floaters as follows:



                  Amount          Interest         Maturity

                  5,000,000         5.48        February 2008

      Additionally,  Del Amo maintains long-term,  fixed-rate financing from the
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) as follows:

                  Amount          Interest         Maturity
               Outstanding          Rate             Date
             ---------------------------------------------------

             $    2,000,000         6.58%           June 2000
                  1,500,000         6.94            June 2005
                  1,500,000         7.14            June 2015

As of June 30, 1998, City National has maximum available credit with the FHLB of
approximately  $269 million,  which is  collateralized  by a blanket lien on all
residential and multi-family  mortgage loans, and eligible government and agency
securities.

Item 2.

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

HIGHLIGHTS

FINANCIAL POSITION

      Total assets increased  $235.4 million or approximately  18.59% during the
first  six  months of 1998.  The  acquisition  of Del Amo  (Note B)  represented
approximately  $116 million of the increase.  Net loans increased $147.9 million
or 19.14%,  $112 million of which can be  attributed to Del Amo. Loans held for
sale,  consisting  primarily of loans purchased or originated with the intent to
sell or  securitize,  increased  $60 million or 44.42%.  See LOAN  PORTFOLIO and
LOANS HELD FOR SALE for further discussion.  The increase in net loans and loans
held for sale was funded  primarily  by an increase in  deposits  and  long-term
borrowings  of $193.2  million and $16.4  million,  respectively.  Other  assets
increased  $32.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 1998 primarily due



to an additional $19.7 million in retained  interest recorded as a result of two
asset-backed  securitization  transactions recorded during the six month period.
See LOANS  HELD FOR SALE for  further  discussion.  Total  stockholders'  equity
increased $19.9 million during the first six months of 1998 primarily due to the
net income  recorded  during the period of $6.4 million  less  dividends of $2.5
million  and  the  $15.8  million   increase  due  to  common  stock  issued  in
acquisitions.

QUARTER  ENDED JUNE 30, 1998,  COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1997.

      The Company  reported net income of $3,299,000  for the three months ended
June 30, 1998  compared to net income of  $3,175,000  for the quarter ended June
30, 1997. This increase of $124,000,  or 3.91%,  was attributable to an increase
in net interest  income,  after provision for possible loan losses,  of $963,000
and  an  increase  in  other  income  (excluding  securities   transactions)  of
$14,335,000 which was offset with an increase in other expenses of $15,030,000.

      The  increase in  non-interest  income is a result of the  Company's  $4.1
million  increase  in net  origination  fees on  junior  lien  mortgages  and an
additional net increase of $4.6 million in gains on loans sold to third parties.
A $1.6 million increase from the mortgage servicing division also contributed to
the increase in non-interest  income. In addition,  the Company  recognized $2.3
million in non-interest  income from printing and insurance  services  combined,
with no income recorded for these services in the second quarter of 1997.

      Non-interest  expenses  increased  $15,030,000  or 115%  during the second
quarter  of 1998 as  compared  to the same  period  of 1997.  This  increase  is
primarily  associated  with entities  acquired by the Company  during the fourth
quarter of 1997 and the first six months of 1998, and also  attributable  to new
divisions  formed by the  Company  during  that same time  period.  Non-interest
expenses incurred by these divisions approximated $12.3 million during the three
months in the period  ended June 30,  1998.  Of that total,  approximately  $5.3
million was incurred for advertising and nationwide  direct mail solicitation of
junior lien mortgage loans. Also,  approximately $796,000 was charged to expense
during the three month period related to expenses  associated with the Company's
loan  securitization  program.  Additionally,  approximately  $2.4  million  was
attributable to personnel costs incurred by all of the new divisions  within the
Company.



      Net income also  benefited from an increase of $1,204,000 in the Company's
net interest  income  during the second  quarter of 1998 as compared to the same
period of 1997. See NET INTEREST INCOME for further  discussion.  Basic earnings
per  share  were  $.49  and  $.52  for the  second  quarter  of 1998  and  1997,
respectively. Diluted earnings per share were .48 and .52 for the second quarter
of 1998 and 1997, respectively.

SIX   MONTHS  ENDED JUNE 30,  1998,  COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997.

      The Company  reported  net income of  $6,412,000  for the six months ended
June 30, 1998  compared  to net income of  $6,004,000  for the six months  ended
June 30, 1997.  This increase of $408,000 or 6.8%, was primarily due to an
increase in net interest income, after provision for possible loan losses, of
$2,625,000 and an increase in other income (excluding  securities  transactions)
of $22,092,000 which was offset with an increase in other expenses of
$24,009,000. The increase in non-interest income is a result of the Company's
$6.2 million increase in net origination  fees on junior lien  mortgages,  an
additional net increase of $6.3 million in gains on loans sold to third parties
and a $2.7 million increase from the mortgage  servicing  division.  In
addition,  the Company  recognized  $3.6 million in non-interest  income from
printing and insurance  services  combined, with no income recorded for these
services in the first six months of 1997.

      Non-interest  expenses  increased  $24,009,000 or 95% during the first six
months  of 1998 as  compared  to the same  period  of  1997.  This  increase  is
primarily  associated  with entities  acquired by the Company  during the fourth
quarter of 1997 and the first six months of 1998, and also  attributable  to new
divisions  formed by the  Company  during  that same time  period.  Non-interest
expenses incurred by these divisions  approximated  $19.4 million during the six
months in the period  ended June 30,  1998.  Of that total,  approximately  $7.9
million was incurred for advertising and nationwide  direct mail solicitation of
junior lien  mortgage  loans.  Also,  approximately  $1.4 million was charged to
expense  during the three month period related to expenses  associated  with the
Company's loan securitization program. Additionally,  approximately $4.3 million
was  attributable to personnel costs incurred by all of the new divisions within
the Company.



      Net income for the first six months  also  benefited  from an  increase of
$2,998,000 in the  Company's net interest  income during the first six months of
1998 as compared to the same period of 1997.  Basic earnings per share were $.97
and $.99 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  Diluted
earnings per share were $.96 and $.99 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
1997, respectively.

SELECTED RATIOS

      The return on average assets (ROA) for the second quarter of 1998 was .92%
compared  to  1.07% in the  second  quarter  of  1997.  The  return  on  average
shareholder's equity (ROE) for the second quarter of 1998 was 10.86% compared to
14.79% ROE for the second  quarter of 1997.  For the six months of 1998, ROA was
 .94% compared to 1.05% for the six months ended 1997.  ROE was 11.13% and 14.10%
for the first six months of 1998 and 1997, respectively.

      The dividend  payout  ratio of 38.80% for the quarter  ended June 30, 1998
represents  an increase of 12.07% from the  dividend  payout ratio of 34.62% for
the quarter ended June 30, 1997. The dividend payout ratio was 39.18% and 36.36%
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  Since 1988, the
Company has paid dividends on a quarterly  basis,  and expects to continue to do
so in the future.

LOANS HELD FOR SALE

       Loans held for sale  generally  represent  mortgage loans the Company has
either purchased,  through its wholesale division, or originated with the intent
to  sell or  securitize  and are  carried  at the  lower  of  aggregate  cost or
estimated market value. Through its three retail loan origination platforms, the
Company originates high loan-to-value  (LTV) debt consolidation and other junior
lien mortgage loans on a nationwide level. These loans are expected to either be
securitized  by the Company or sold to  independent  third parties within 90-180
days.

       The Company  announced  on May 11,  1998,  that it had  discontinued  its
participation in a whole loan purchasing  program with a non-affiliated  seller.
The Company had participated in this program since the first quarter of 1994. As
a result of discontinuing  this program,  the Company's average balance of loans
held for sale is expected to be less than  originally  forecasted,  primarily in
the third  and  fourth  quarter,  but also for the  months  of May and June.  In
addition,  servicing volume increases will not be as great as was expected.  The
Company has estimated that the impact of these events on 1998 earnings per share
will be a decrease  of $0.30 per share to $0.40 per share,  or 11-15% of its SNL
I/B/E/S consensus estimate.

       The Company's  origination  and acquisition of loans to be securitized or
sold  is  expected  to  continue  to have a  positive  impact  on the  Company's
operating  results.  However,  this increased  return is not achieved  without a
degree of risk of loss to the Company. Such risks include credit risk related to
the quality of the underlying  loan and the borrower's  financial  capability to
repay the loan, market risk related to the continued  attractiveness of the loan
product to both borrowers and  end-investors,  and interest rate risk related to
potential  changes  in  interest  rates  and  the  resulting  repricing  of both
financial  assets and  liabilities.  The  Company  seeks to manage  this risk by
continuously  improving  policies and procedures  designed to reduce the risk of
loss to a level  commensurate  with the  return  being  earned on the  Company's
investment.



       In addition to continuously focusing on improving policies and procedures
in this area, management also utilizes its asset-backed  securitization  program
to mitigate the risk of loss. By  securitizing  originated and purchased  junior
lien  mortgage  loans,  the  Company  effectively  removes  these loans from its
balance sheet by creating an investment security or securities, supported by the
cash flows  generated  by these  loans,  and selling the  resulting  security or
securities to independent  third parties.  As part of this process,  the Company
provides credit enhancement, in the form of overcollateralization,  with respect
to the investment  security or securities created. As a result, the Company does
maintain a certain  level of credit risk and interest rate risk related to these
loans.

       During  the first two  quarters  of 1998,  the  Company  originated  $225
million and purchased  $408 million in loans held for sale and sold $581 million
during the same period. This compares to originations of $58 million,  purchases
of $302  million,  and sales of $344  million  during the first two  quarters of
1997.

       On June 12, 1998, the Company sold approximately  $87.9 million of junior
lien  mortgage  loans  held  for sale  through  an  asset-backed  securitization
transaction.   As  a  result,  the  Company  recorded  a  retained  interest  of
approximately  $11.8  million.  The amount  recorded  as  retained  interest  is
computed  by  estimating   the  future  cash  flows  of  the  loans  and  giving
consideration to certain assumptions regarding the performance of the underlying
collateral loans. The three most significant  assumptions used in this valuation
process include:  (1) prepayment  rates, the rates at which borrowers will fully
repay loan balances in advance of established  amortization periods; (2) default
rates, the rates at which collateral  loans will become  uncollectible;  and (3)
discount  rates,  the rates used by management to discount the estimated  future
cash flows such that the present value of those cash flows can be estimated.  As
of June 30, 1998, the Company has completed  three  asset-backed  securitization
transactions  resulting  in  approximately  $24.6  million,   including  accrued
interest,  being recorded in Other Assets  representing  the Company's  retained
interests  in these  securitized  loan pools.  Significant  assumptions  used to
estimate the value of the retained interest include:


                Prepayment rates             Between 17-21% CPR
                Default rates                Approximating 10% cumulative losses
                Weighted average discount
                  rates                      Between 12-14%



LOAN SERVICING
      Mortgage  loans  serviced for others are not included in the  accompanying
consolidated  balance  sheets.  They  consist  primarily  of  FHA  Title  I home
improvement loans and debt consolidation loans secured by junior lien mortgages.
The unpaid  principal  balances of mortgage loans serviced for others was $1.264
billion and $1.253 billion at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively.
The unpaid  principal  balances of  intercompany  mortgage  loans  serviced  was
$150,023,000 at June 30, 1998.

      Mortgage loan  servicing  rights of $3,991,000  and $2,462,000 at June 30,
1998 and December 31,  1997,  respectively,  are included in other assets in the
accompanying  balance  sheets.  Amortization  of mortgage loan servicing  rights
approximated $302,000 and $155,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
June 30, 1997, respectively.



ASSET QUALITY AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

       The  following  table  summarizes  the  Company's  risk  elements for the
periods ending June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997. The Company's coverage ratio
of  nonperforming  assets and potential  problem loans continues to be strong at
90% as of June 30, 1998.

      Management  is of the  opinion  that  the  allowance  for loan  losses  is
adequate to provide for probable future losses inherent in the portfolio.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY AND LIQUIDITY

      Interest Rate Sensitivity:  The Company manages its 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  seeks to reduce the risk through  asset and  liability  management,
where the goal is to optimize the balance  between  earnings  and interest  rate
risk. The Company measures  interest rate risk through interest  sensitivity gap
analysis as illustrated in the following  table.  At June 30, 1998, the one year
period shows a negative gap (liability sensitive) of $356 million. This analysis
is a "static gap"  presentation  and  movements in deposit rates offered by City
National  and Del Amo 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 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 banking  divisions,  and is based
upon  historical   experience  with  their  individual  markets  and  customers.
Management  expects to  continue  the same  pricing  methodology  in response to
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 terms 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. After
management adjustments, the table shows a negative gap in the one-year period of
$90 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 slight decline in its net
interest margin during the past two years and is somewhat  vulnerable to a rapid
rise in interest rates in 1998.  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.

The table above includes  various  assumptions and estimates by management as to
maturity and repricing  patterns.  Future  interest  margins will be impacted by
balances and rates which are subject to change periodically throughout the year.




      In addition to the interest rate  sensitivity  gap  analysis,  the Company
performs an earnings  sensitivity  analysis to identify the impact of changes in
interest  rates on its net interest  income.  Since the  simulated  gap analysis
incorporates  management  assumptions  as noted  in the  previous  gap  analysis
discussion,  actual  results will differ from  simulated  results due to timing,
magnitude  and  frequency  of  interest  rate  changes  and  changes  in  market
conditions and management strategies, among other factors.

      The Company's  policy  objective is to avoid negative  fluctuations in net
interest  income of 10%  within a  12-month  period.  As of June 30,  1998,  the
Company had the following estimated earnings sensitivity profile:

                                     Immediate Change in Rates
                                     -------------------------
       Pretax Earnings Changes       +  200 bp     - 200 bp
                                     ($41,000)     $41,000

      Based on the  results of the  simulation  model as of June 30,  1998,  the
Company  would  expect a  decrease  in net  interest  income of  $21,000  and an
increase in net interest income of $21,000 if interest rates gradually  increase
or  decrease,  respectively,  from  current  rates by 100  basis  points  over a
12-month period.

      Liquidity: Although management is comfortable with its liquidity position,
it recognizes the need to pursue  additional  liquidity  sources in an effort to
reduce the  Company's  reliance on funding  received  from the Federal Home Loan
Bank.

      In the fourth  quarter of 1997, a New York  investment  bank  committed to
issue  up to  $100  million  of  the  Company's  certificates  of  deposit.  The
activation of this  commitment is solely at the  discretion of the Company.  The
certificates of deposit could be issued in maturities up to five years at a rate
equal to a comparable  treasury maturity plus a market based spread. At June 30,
1998,  $2  million  of the  certificates  of  deposit  had been sold  under this
commitment  at an average  rate and term of  approximately  5.70% and two years,
respectively.  There can be no assurance that the Company will issue  additional
certificates of deposit pursuant to this arrangement.



      Additionally,  the Company has been  successful  in utilizing  the capital
markets as an additional source of liquidity. Through the Company's asset-backed
securitization  program and through the  Company's  issuance of Trust  Preferred
Securities,  the  Company  has been  able to  diversify  its  available  funding
sources.  Sales of the Company's junior lien mortgage loans to independent third
parties have also provided the Company with an additional source of liquidity.

      Management  seeks to maintain  adequate  liquidity to generate  sufficient
cash flow to fund the Company's  operations  on a timely basis,  to continue its
dividend  distribution to shareholders,  and to manage its liquidity position to
provide  for  continued  asset  growth.   The  Company  does  not  have  a  high
concentration  of  volatile  funds and all such funds are  invested in assets of
comparable maturity. Management is not aware of any trends, demands, commitments
or  uncertainties  that  have  resulted  or are  reasonably  likely to result in
material changes in liquidity.

      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
from  operating  activities in the first six months of 1998 and 1997 due to cash
outlays for loans  originated for sale and purchases of loans held for sale. Net
cash was  used in  investing  activities  for both  periods  presented  which is
indicative  of the  Company's  net  increases  in loan volume and  purchases  of
securities  available for sale. Cash was provided by financing activities during
each period, as a result of net increases in deposits and long-term  borrowings,
and the issuance of Trust Preferred Securities in March 1998.

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 June 30, 1998, the
regulatory  minimum  ratio of qualified  total capital to  risk-weighted  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,  including  minimal amounts  required by the
Company's regulatory authorities:

       Actual capital ratios noted above reflect management's emphasis on strong
asset quality and a history of retained net income.  However,  the  asset-backed
securitization  program  undertaken by the Company to generate  future  earnings
does, in the short-term, negatively impact the aforementioned ratios. As of June
30,  1998,  the  Company  is  required  to  provide   equity   capital   against
approximately  $180 million of  off-balance  sheet items.  The unpaid  principal
balance of securitized  loan pools  approximated  $180 million at June 30, 1998.
Under  the  low-level  recourse  rules  required  by  the  Company's  regulatory
authorities,  the Company, as a result of maintaining a retained interest in its
securitized loan pools, is required to include the lesser of: (1) the product of
the recorded balance of its retained  interests  multiplied by a factor of 12.5,
or  (2)  the  unpaid  principal   balance  of  the  securitized   loans  in  its
risk-weighted  assets when computing capital ratios. Thus, actual capital ratios
are less than they would have been had the  Company  not  maintained  a retained
interest in its securitization  transactions or had the Company sold those loans
to independent third parties separate from a securitization transaction.

       However,   as  evidenced  above,  the  Company's  actual  capital  ratios
sufficiently  exceed  minimum  levels of capital as  required  by the  Company's
regulatory  authorities  and management is committed to maintaining  its capital
ratios at such levels.  Through continued  improvement in operating results,  in
part  from  future   earnings  to  be  derived  from  completed   securitization
transactions, continued emphasis on high asset quality, and effective management
of risk,  management  expects  that the Company  will  continue to maintain  its
capital  position.  Doing so enables  the  Company to  continue  its  pursuit of
strategic  acquisitions and other growth  opportunities  which, when transacted,
further enhance the overall capital position of the Company.

       As more fully discussed in Note D to the financial statements, the
Company, pursuant to rulings released by the Federal Reserve Board in October
1996, has included its Trust Preferred Securities in its Tier I capital
calculations.

IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000

      The Company's Year 2000 project plan was initiated  throughout the Company
in January 1997.  The project is sponsored and closely  monitored by both senior
and executive level management. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency 
(OCC) and the Federal Financial Institutions  Examination Council recommends 
that all



systems  reprogramming  efforts be  completed  by December 31, 1998 to allow for
sufficient testing and implementation. Management intends to meet or exceed this
recommendation. Plan components are being executed in accordance with guidelines
that  have  been  mandated  by the OCC.  The  Company's  approach  to Year  2000
compliance encompasses five industry standard phases:

         1.  Awareness Phase
         2.  Assessment Phase
         3.  Renovation Phase
         4.  Validation Phase
         5.  Implementation Phase

The Company has completed the Awareness,  Assessment,  and Renovation  phases of
the  project.  Currently,  the  Company is  approximately  70%  complete  in the
validation  phase and has  recently  begun the  implementation  phase in certain
areas.

            Having begun the implementation phase,  management believes that the
risks  affecting  the  Company  associated  with the Year 2000  issue  should be
minimal.  The majority of the critical  applications  affecting the Company have
been  addressed  and  management   believes  that  solid   solutions  have  been
implemented to address areas of concern.  The sum of the costs incurred  to-date
and the estimated costs remaining to be incurred is not expected to be material 
to the consolidated financial statements.

NET INTEREST INCOME

            Net  interest  income,  on a  fully  federal  tax-equivalent  basis,
improved  from the  second  quarter  of 1997 to the  second  quarter  of 1998 by
approximately  $1,176,000 due to an increase in net earning assets. Net yield on
earning  assets  decreased  between the  respective  periods from 5.0% to 4.71%.
Earning  asset  yields  increased  10 basis  points (100 basis  points equal one
percent) to 9.06%,  and the cost of  interest-bearing  liabilities  increased 45
basis points to 5.06%.  The $2,039,000  decrease in net interest income due to a
change  in the  rate,  as shown  in the  following  table,  was  coupled  with a
$3,215,000  increase in net interest  income due to a change in the volume.  The
major component of this favorable volume change was increased average loans held
for sale.



            Net  interest  income,  on a  fully  federal  tax-equivalent  basis,
improved  from the six months  ended June 30, 1997 to the six months  ended June
30, 1998 by  approximately  $2,942,000 due to an increase in net earning assets.
Net yield on  earning  assets  decreased  between  periods  from 4.85% to 4.69%.
Earning  asset  yields  increased  25 basis  points (100 basis  points equal one
percent) to 8.95%,  and the cost of  interest-bearing  liabilities  increased 42
basis points to 4.87%.  The $1,283,000  decrease in net interest income due to a
change  in the  rate,  as shown  in the  following  table,  was  coupled  with a
$4,225,000  increase in net interest  income due to a change in the volume.  The
major  component  of this  favorable  volume  change was the  increased  average
balance of loans held for sale.
