PART I

ITEM 1 BUSINESS
- ------------------

City Holding Company ("the Company"), a West Virginia corporation
headquartered in Charleston, West Virginia, is a bank holding company that
provides diversified financial products and services to consumers and local
businesses. Through its network of 55 banking offices in West Virginia (53
offices) and Ohio (2 offices), the Company provides credit, deposit, trust, and
insurance products and services to its customers. In addition to its branch
network, the Company's delivery channels include ATMs, check cards,
telemarketing, direct mail solicitation, interactive voice response systems,
and internet technology. The Company has approximately 8% of the deposit market
share in West Virginia and is the third largest bank holding company
headquartered in West Virginia based on deposit size. In the Company's key
markets, it maintains the first, second, or third largest percentage of deposit
market share.

The Company historically has operated three business segments (community
banking, mortgage banking, and other financial services) that were primarily
identified by the products or services offered and the delivery channels
through which the products or services were delivered. The Company also
maintained a general corporate business segment that included the operations of
the Parent Company, which typically provided operational and managerial support
to the three operating business segments. During 2001, however, the Company
completed a comprehensive reorganization that dramatically changed the
Company's business model and refocused attention and resources on the Company's
core West Virginia community banking franchise. As further outlined below, the
operations that historically comprised the non-community banking operations of
the Company were either sold or closed during 2001. As of December 31, 2001,
the Company's sole operating subsidiary is City National Bank of West Virginia
("City National").

COMMUNITY-BANKING

In November 2001, the Company completed the sale of Del Amo Savings Bank,
FSB and Frontier Bancorp, which comprised the Company's California banking
operations. Combined, the California banking operations represented less than
10% of the total assets of the community banking segment.

City National, headquartered in Charleston, West Virginia, operates 53
offices in West Virginia and 2 offices in Ohio. City National provides
traditional banking products and services, including credit, deposit, trust,
insurance, and other related services. No portion of City National's deposits
are derived from a single person or persons, the loss of which could have a
material adverse effect on liquidity, capital, or other elements of financial
performance. Although no portion of City National's loan portfolio is
concentrated within a single industry or group of related industries, it
historically has held residential mortgage loans as a significant portion of its
loan portfolio. At December 31, 2001, 52% of the Company's loan portfolio was
categorized as residential mortgage loans. However, due to the fractionated
nature of residential mortgage lending, there is no concentration of credits
that would be considered detrimental to the Company's financial position or
operating results.

MORTGAGE BANKING

The mortgage banking segment generally included the Company's operations
that were devoted to the origination, acquisition, servicing, and sale of
mortgage loan products. In December 2000, the Company sold its mortgage
servicing rights associated with $1.10 billion, or 91.67%, of the Company's
specialty finance loan servicing portfolio. During 2001, the Company completed
the transfer of the sold servicing portfolio. However, due, in part, to the
complexity of the underlying servicing agreements, the Company retained
approximately 8.33% of its December 31, 2000 servicing portfolio. The Company
continues to pursue alternatives to dispose of the remaining loan servicing
portfolio, which had a balance of approximately $66.69 million as of December
31, 2001. There are no mortgage servicing rights associated with the loans
serviced for others and the loans are not included in the Company's
Consolidated Balance

3



Sheets. During the second quarter of 2001, the Company closed its two remaining
loan production offices in Maryland and Georgia, completing the Company's exit
from mortgage banking activities.

OTHER FINANCIAL SERVICES

During 2001, the Company sold its internet service and direct mail
divisions and substantially completed the sale of its investment brokerage
accounts. These operations, plus the operations of City National's insurance
division, historically comprised the other financial services business segment.
In conjunction with the Company's reorganization during 2001, the Company has
aligned the operations of its insurance division with the traditional products
and services offered by City National.

GENERAL CORPORATE SERVICES

In addition to the Company's community banking, mortgage banking, and
other financial services business segments, the Company's general corporate
business segment, which primarily included the Parent Company, historically
provided operational and managerial support to the other business segments.

The results of operations of each of the Company's business lines for
2001, 2000, and 1999 are included in their respective business segments as
defined above and as historically reported. However, having completed its
comprehensive reorganization during 2001, these individual business segments
will cease to exist beginning January 1, 2002. The following tables summarize
selected segment information for each of the last three years:

OTHER BUSINESS MATTERS

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

COMPETITION

As noted previously, the Company's principal markets are located in West
Virginia. The majority of the Company's banking offices are located in the
higher-populated areas of Charleston, Huntington, Beckley and Martinsburg where
there is a significant presence of other financial service providers. In its
markets, the Company competes with national, regional, and local community
banks for deposit, credit, trust, and insurance customers. In addition to
traditional banking organizations, the Company competes with credit unions,
finance companies, insurance companies and other financial service providers
who are able to provide specialty financial services to targeted customer
groups. As further discussed below, changes in laws and regulations enacted in
recent years have increased the competitive environment the Company faces to
retain and attract customers.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

Overview: The Company, as a registered bank holding company, and City
National, as an insured depository institution, operate in a highly regulated
environment and are regularly examined by federal and state regulators. The
following description briefly discusses certain provisions of federal and state
laws and certain regulations and the potential impact of such provisions to
which the Company and its subsidiaries are subject. These federal and state
laws and regulations are designed to reduce potential loss exposure to the
depositors of such depository institutions and to the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation's insurance fund and are not intended to protect the Company's
security holders. Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the
banking industry are frequently raised in Congress, in state legislatures, and
before the various bank regulatory agencies. The likelihood and timing of any
changes and the impact such changes might have on the Company are impossible to
determine with any certainty. A change in applicable laws or regulations, or a
change in the way such laws or regulations are interpreted by regulatory
agencies or courts, may have a material impact on the business, operations and
earnings of the Company.

To the extent that the following information describes statutory or regulatory
provisions, it is qualified entirely by reference to the particular statutory
or regulatory provision.

As a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956, as amended (the "BHCA"), the Company is subject to regulation by the
Federal Reserve Board. Federal banking laws require bank holding companies to
serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary depository
institutions and to commit resources to support such institutions in
circumstances where it might not do so otherwise. Additionally, the Federal
Reserve Board has jurisdiction under the BHCA to approve any bank or nonbank
acquisition, merger or consolidation proposed by a bank holding company. The
BHCA generally limits the activities of a bank holding company and its
subsidiaries to that of banking, managing or controlling banks, or any other
activity that is so closely related to banking or to managing or controlling
banks as to be a proper incident thereto. The BHCA also prohibits a bank
holding company, with certain exceptions, from acquiring more than 5% of the
voting shares of any company and from engaging in any business other than
banking or managing or controlling banks. The Federal Reserve Board has by
regulation determined that certain activities are closely related to banking
within the meaning of the BHCA. These activities include: operating a mortgage
company, finance company, credit card company or factoring company; performing
certain data processing operations; providing investment and financial advice;
and acting as an insurance agent for certain types of credit-related insurance.

Recent Changes in Regulations: The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (" Gramm-Leach")
became law in November 1999. Gramm-Leach established a comprehensive framework
to permit affiliations among commercial banks, investment banks, insurance
companies, securities firms, and other financial service providers. Gramm-Leach
permits qualifying bank holding companies to register with the Federal Reserve
Board as "financial holding companies" and allows such companies to engage in a
significantly broader range of financial activities than were historically
permissible for bank holding companies. Although the Federal Reserve Board
provides the principal regulatory supervision of financial services permitted
under Gramm-Leach, the Securities and Exchange Commission and state regulators
also provide substantial supervisory oversight. In addition to broadening the
range of financial services a bank holding company may provide, Gramm-Leach
also addressed customer privacy and information sharing issues and set forth
certain customer disclosure requirements. Given the Company's formal agreement
with the OCC, as discussed below, the Company has no current plans to petition
the Federal Reserve Board for consideration as a financial holding company.

The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994
("Riegle-Neal") permits bank holding companies to acquire banks located in any
state. Riegle-Neal also allows national banks and state banks with different
home states to merge across state lines and allows branch banking across state
lines, unless specifically prohibited by state laws.

Capital Adequacy: Federal banking regulations set forth capital adequacy
guidelines, which are used by regulatory authorities to assess the adequacy of
capital in examining and supervising a bank holding company and its insured
depository institutions. The capital adequacy guidelines generally require bank
holding companies to maintain total capital equal to at least 8% of total
risk-adjusted assets, with at least one-half of total capital consisting of
core capital (i.e. Tier I capital) and the remaining amount consisting of
"other" capital-eligible items (i.e. Tier II capital), such as perpetual
preferred stock, certain subordinated debt, and, subject to limitations, the
allowance for loan losses. Tier I capital generally includes common
stockholders' equity plus, within certain limitations, perpetual preferred
stock and trust preferred securities. For purposes of computing risk-based
capital ratios, bank holding companies must meet specific capital guidelines
that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain
off-balance sheet items, calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The
Company's and City National's capital amounts and classifications are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors.

In addition to total and Tier I capital requirements, regulatory
authorities also require bank holding companies and insured depository
institutions to maintain a minimum leverage capital ratio of 3%. The leverage
ratio is determined as the ratio of Tier I capital to total average assets,
where average assets

6



exclude goodwill, other intangibles, and other specifically excluded assets.
Regulatory authorities have stated that minimum capital ratios are adequate for
those institutions that are operationally and financially sound, experiencing
solid earnings, have high levels of asset quality and are not experiencing
significant growth. 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. In those instances where these criteria are not evident, regulatory
authorities expect, and may require, bank holding companies and insured
depository institutions to maintain higher than minimum capital levels.

Additionally, federal banking laws require regulatory authorities to take
"prompt corrective action" with respect to depository institutions that do not
satisfy minimum capital requirements. The extent of these powers depends upon
whether the institutions in question are "well capitalized", "adequately
capitalized", "undercapitalized", "significantly undercapitalized" or
"critically undercapitalized", as such terms are defined under uniform
regulations defining such capital levels issued by each of the federal banking
agencies. As an example, a depository institution that is not well capitalized
is generally prohibited from accepting brokered deposits and offering interest
rates on deposits higher than the prevailing rate in its market. Additionally,
a depository institution is generally prohibited from making any capital
distribution (including payment of a dividend) or paying any management fee to
its holding company, may be subject to asset growth limitations and may be
required to submit capital restoration plans if the depository institution is
considered undercapitalized.

At December 31, 2001, the Company's total capital, Tier I capital, and
leverage ratios were 13.10%, 9.38%, and 6.92%, respectively. Similarly, City
National's total capital, Tier I capital, and leverage ratios were 13.71%,
12.44%, and 9.76%. Despite these relatively strong capital ratios, City
National cannot be categorized as "well capitalized" under its formal agreement
with the OCC discussed below. Any bank that has entered into a formal agreement
with the OCC is precluded from being categorized as "well capitalized",
regardless of its capital ratios.

In November 2001, regulatory agencies issued new guidelines changing
regulatory capital standards to address the treatment of, among other things,
retained interests for purposes of computing regulatory capital ratios. In
general, the new guidelines require an increased allocation of regulatory
capital to assets such as retained interests in securitized mortgage loans and
the new rules limit the amount of retained interests financial institutions may
include in regulatory capital. Although the new rule becomes effective January
1, 2002, institutions that completed transactions impacted by the new rule
before December 31, 2001 may delay application of the new standard until
December 31, 2002. Had the Company been required to comply with the new rule as
of December 31, 2001, the Company estimates that its total capital, Tier I
capital and leverage ratios would have approximated 11.43%, 7.65%, and 5.84%,
respectively. Similarly, City National estimates that its total capital, Tier
I capital, and leverage ratios would have been 12.31%, 10.87%, and 9.13%,
respectively as of December 31, 2001, which are in excess of the aforementioned
"well capitalized" ratios.

Dividends and Other Payments: The Company is a legal entity separate and
distinct from City National. Dividends from City National are essentially the
sole source of cash for the Company. The right of the Company, and shareholders
of the Company, to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of
City National through the payment of such dividends or otherwise is necessarily
subject to the prior claims of creditors of City National, except to the extent
that claims of the Company in its capacity as a creditor may be recognized.
Moreover, there are various legal limitations applicable to the payment of
dividends to the Company as well as the payment of dividends by the Company to
its shareholders. Under federal law, City National may not, subject to certain
limited expectations, make loans or extensions of credit to, or invest in the
securities of, or take securities of the Company as collateral for loans to any
borrower. City National is also subject to collateral security requirements for
any loans or extensions of credit permitted by such exceptions.

City National is subject to various statutory restrictions on its ability
to pay dividends to the Company. Specifically, the approval of the OCC is
required prior to the payment of dividends by City National in

7



excess of its earnings retained in the current year plus retained net profits
for the preceding two years. The payment of dividends by the Company and City
National may also be limited by other factors, such as requirements to maintain
adequate capital above regulatory guidelines. The OCC has the authority to
prohibit any bank under its jurisdiction from engaging in an unsafe and unsound
practice in conducting its business. Depending upon the financial condition of
City National, the payment of dividends could be deemed to constitute such an
unsafe or unsound practice. The Federal Reserve Board and the OCC have
indicated their view that it generally would be an unsafe and unsound practice
to pay dividends except out of current operating earnings. The Federal Reserve
Board has stated that, as a matter of prudent banking, a bank or bank holding
company should not maintain its existing rate of cash dividends on common stock
unless (1) the organization's net income available to common shareholders over
the past year has been sufficient to fund fully the dividends and (2) the
prospective rate of earnings retention appears consistent with the
organization's capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial condition.
Moreover, the Federal Reserve Board has indicated that bank holding companies
should serve as a source of managerial and financial strength to their
subsidiary banks. Accordingly, the Federal Reserve Board has stated that a bank
holding company should not maintain a level of cash dividends to its
shareholders that places undue pressure on the capital of bank subsidiaries, or
that can be funded only through additional borrowings or other arrangements
that may undermine the bank holding company's ability to serve as a source of
strength.

As a result of the net losses reported at both the consolidated and bank
levels in 2001 and 2000, neither the Company nor City National is permitted to
pay dividends without obtaining prior regulatory approval. Therefore, the
Company has suspended the payment of dividends to its common shareholders and
has deferred the payment of interest on its trust preferred securities. In
accordance with the terms of the trust preferred securities, the Company may
elect to defer interest payments for up to five years so long as there has been
no event of default, which includes bankruptcy, failure to pay principal
payments when due, and other events as defined in the documents governing the
issuances of the trust preferred securities. Distributions on the trust
preferred securities are cumulative and accrue interest at interest rates
equivalent to the stated interest rates for each issue.

Formal Agreement: On July 12, 2000, the Company announced that City
National had entered into a formal agreement with the OCC. The agreement
required City National to adopt a three-year comprehensive strategic plan,
improve its loan portfolio management, and develop and adhere to a written plan
for liquidity, including a formal asset and liability management policy. City
National also agreed to incorporate liquidity planning in its financial
management process, implement a satisfactory program to manage interest rates,
and ensure full compliance of its securitization program with recent OCC
regulations. Additionally, City National agreed to develop a plan to dispose
of loans held for sale that are held in excess of 90 days, develop a three-year
capital plan, strengthen internal controls and its audit committee, and
establish a program to maintain an adequate allowance for loan and lease
losses. Additionally, as a consequence of entering into this agreement, City
National became subject to certain FDIC restrictions regarding the issuance of
brokered deposits. City National also agreed to maintain its regulatory total
capital ratio above 10.00% and to establish a committee of its Board of
Directors to oversee compliance with the agreement.

Subsequent to the date of the agreement, City National established a
compliance oversight committee, which meets regularly to determine the status
of compliance with the agreement. City National and the Company also adopted a
three-year comprehensive strategic plan; formalized its policies and procedures
related to asset and liability management, including liquidity and interest
rate risk issues; formalized policies and procedures associated with its
securitization program to ensure compliance with OCC regulations; disposed of
substantially all of its loans held for sale that had been held in excess of 90
days and transferred the unsold loans to the permanent portfolio at estimated
fair market value; and developed a three-year capital plan.

In September 2001, City National entered into a new, less comprehensive,
formal agreement with the OCC that replaced the July 12, 2000 formal agreement.
The revised agreement, which was developed based on the results of the April
2001 regulatory examination of City National, primarily focuses on lending
policies and procedures and on certain aspects of City National's methodology
for assessing the adequacy of its

8



allowance for loan losses. Management continues to devote considerable time and
resources toward complying with the requirements of the revised formal
agreement.

GOVERNMENTAL POLICIES

The Federal Reserve Board regulates money and credit and interest rates in
order to influence general economic conditions. These policies have a
significant influence on overall growth and distribution of bank loans,
investments and deposits and affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for
time and savings deposits. Federal Reserve monetary policies have had a
significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and
are expected to continue to do so in the future.

Various other legislation, including proposals to overhaul the banking
regulatory system and to limit the investments that a depository institution
may make with insured funds are from time to time introduced in Congress. The
Company cannot determine the ultimate effect that such potential legislation,
if enacted, would have upon its financial condition or operations.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2001, City Holding Company employed 840 associates.
Employee relations within the Company are considered to be satisfactory.

locations and leases seventeen locations, pursuant to operating leases. All of
the properties are suitable and adequate for their current operations and are
generally being fully utilized.

As of December 31, 2001, City National also maintained office space in
Costa Mesa, California and Roanoke, Texas, pursuant to lease agreements that
expire in May 2003 and March 2002, respectively. Both locations had
historically housed mortgage banking operations of City National. With the
Company's exit from its mortgage banking activities, it exited these locations
and entered into agreements to sublease the office space to other companies.

As part of the Company's restructuring during 2001, it closed certain
branch locations and operational facilities. The carrying value of the land,
buildings, and related capital improvements on the dates the facilities were
closed approximated $4.04 million. The Company estimated the fair value, less
cost to sell, of these properties at $2.35 million and recorded a $1.69 million
loss in 2001 within the Non-Interest Expense section of its Consolidated
Statements of Income. One of the properties was sold prior to December 31, 2001
and the Company is actively marketing the remaining properties, with an
expectation of selling the remaining properties during 2002. As of December 31,
2001, the carrying amount of the properties not sold approximated $2.02 million.

ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------

On December 28, 2001, the Company, its previous management team, and
members of the Board of Directors of both the Company and City National were
named in a derivative action filed by a shareholder seeking to recover damages
on behalf of the Company. The Company, members of its previous management team
and the Directors of both the Company and City National have retained counsel,
but the case is in the early stages and it would be premature to forecast the
outcome. However, the defendants intend to defend the action vigorously.

The Company recorded a $3.00 million charge against earnings during the
third quarter of 2001 to accrue costs associated with litigation involving
operations the Company has either sold or closed. In addition, the Company is
engaged in various legal actions that it deems to be in the ordinary course of
business. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for the
potential costs of current litigation. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance
that current actions will have immaterial results or that no material actions
may be presented in the future.
