NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE REGISTRANT
1. The results of operations reflect the interim adjustments, all of which are
of a normal recurring nature and which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1995.
2. Securities held for investment are classified as investment securities.
Because the Company has the ability and management has the intent to hold
investment securities until maturity, investment securities are stated at
cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.
Trading account securities are stated at market value. Investments not
classified as trading securities nor as investment securities are classified
as securities available for sale and recorded at fair value. Unrealized
gains or losses for securities available for sale are excluded from earnings
and reported as a net amount after taxes, in a separate component of
shareholders' equity, until realized.
3. For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash
on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased
under resale agreements, and do not include items with original maturities
of over 90 days.
4. Certain prior year data have been reclassified to conform to current year
presentation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
City National Corporation (the Corporation) is the holding company for City
National Bank (the Bank). Because the Bank constitutes substantially all of
the business of the Company, references to the Company in this Item 2 reflect
the consolidated activities of the Corporation and the Bank.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company recorded consolidated net income of $15.9 million, or $.35 per
share, in the first quarter of 1996, compared to a net income of $10.6
million, or $.23 per share, in the first quarter of 1995. The change between
first quarters resulted from an increase in net interest income and
noninterest income of $10.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, partially
offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $6.4 million. Returns on
average assets and on average equity for the first quarter of 1996 were 1.73%
and 17.38%, respectively, compared with 1.60% and 12.83% in the first quarter
of 1995.
Taxable equivalent net interest income was $49.9 million in the first
quarter of 1996, up 27.9% from the year-ago quarter. The increase resulted
from the 36.1% increase in average interest earning assets between quarters.
Due to a higher proportion of total funding in the first quarter of 1996 from
time deposits of $100,000 and over and wholesale money market sources, the net
interest spread decreased from 5.10% to 4.62% and the net interest margin
decreased from 6.36% to 5.99%. Management expects modest growth in quarterly
net interest income for the remainder of 1996 from first quarter 1996 levels.
The foregoing forward-looking statement assumes, among other things, that
interest rate levels will remain relatively constant and is based on the
anticipated growth in earning assets, either of which may cause actual
results to differ materially if the assumption proves to have been incorrect.
See "Cautionary Statement For Purposes of the 'Safe Harbor' Provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995," below.
Average loans increased $729.1 million (45.0%) between first quarters to
$2,348.7 million at March 31, 1996. The majority of this increase reflected
higher average residential first mortgage loans outstanding, up $429.4
million (185.9%). This increase resulted from both the Bank's internal loan
generation and bulk purchases of residential mortgage loans. Average
construction loans increased $44.3 million (123.6%) from the first quarter of
1995, primarily as a result of the Bank's increased efforts in generating
new construction loan commitments. Average commercial and real estate mortgage
loans increased $173.5 million (20.0%) and $79.7 million (17.7%) due primarily
to the acquisition of First Los Angeles Bank (First LA) on
-7-
<PAGE>
December 31, 1995. Total average investment and available for sale securities
increased $102.6 million (13.9%) between first quarters due mainly to the
improved liquidity resulting from the acquisition of First LA, which had total
loans at December 31, 1995 of $338 million and total deposits of $796
million. In December 1995, the Company reclassified securities with a book
value of $402.3 million and a market value of $401.2 million from the
investment securities classification to available for sale as permitted by the
Guide to the Implementation of SFAS No. 115. Total average deposits increased
$751.5 million (36.4%) between first quarters due primarily to the acquisition
of First LA as well as increased deposit levels from the Bank's non-First LA
customers.
The provision for credit losses was zero for the quarters ended March 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively. Loans charged off in the first quarter of 1996
were $5.5 million, compared to $2.9 million in the first quarter of 1995.
Recoveries were $2.9 million in the first quarter of 1996, compared to $6.0
million in the first quarter of 1995. The provision for credit losses is
expected to remain at reduced levels in 1996. This forward-looking statement
is based on an assumption that general economic conditions in Southern
California will not deteriorate materially in 1996, and if this assumption
proves to have been inaccurate, an increased provision for credit losses may
be required. See "Cautionary Statement For Purposes of the 'Safe Harbor'
Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995," below .
Non-interest income, excluding gains and losses on the sale of securities
and assets, totaled $10.0 million for the first quarter of 1996, up $1.7
million (21.1%) from a year earlier. Service charges on deposit accounts
increased $.8 million (43.9%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 due
primarily to the acquisition of First LA and higher levels of service charges
resulting from the lower earnings on deposit balances as a result of lower
interest rates compared to the prior year. Investment services income
increased $.5 million due to higher fees and new investment products offered
to customers. Other income in 1996 included a pre-tax gain of $.7 million from
the sale of a leveraged lease and securities gains of $.7 million while other
income in 1995 included $.3 million in gains from the sale of securities.
Management expects modest growth in non-interest income from first quarter
1996 levels during the remaining quarters of 1996. See "Cautionary Statement
For Purposes of the 'Safe Harbor' Provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995," below.
Excluding net ORE results, non-interest expense totaled $36.0 million in
the first quarter of 1996, an increase of $6.4 million (21.5%) from the first
quarter of 1995. Salaries and other employee benefits increased $3.5 million
(21.4%) for the first quarter of 1996 from the first quarter of 1995 due to
the additional personnel added as a result of the acquisition of First LA.
-8-
<PAGE>
Noninterest expense levels for the remaining quarters of 1996 are expected to
decrease from first quarter 1996 levels with the completion of the integration
of First LA into City National Bank. See "Cautionary Statement For Purposes of
the 'Safe Harbor' Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995," below.
Net ORE results was $.2 million for both the first quarter of 1996 and of
1995.
The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 35.0%in the first quarter of
1996 from 38.6% in the first quarter of 1995. The decrease resulted from the
recognition of $1.0 million in previously unrecorded California deferred taxes
and a higher level of municipal leases, municipal bonds and preferred stock
holdings in the securities portfolio as compared with the prior year. The
Company expects the effective tax rate for the remainder of 1996 to remain
near first quarter 1996 levels. See "Cautionary Statement For Purposes of the
'Safe Harbor' Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995," below.

</TABLE>
Gross loans at March 31, 1996 amounted to $2,373.9 million, up $748.3
million (46.0%) from March 31, 1995. Approximately $280.0 million of the
increase, concentrated primarily in real estate mortgage loans, was due to the
acquisition of First LA. The $453.9 million increase in residential first
mortgage loans resulted from the purchase of residential mortgages originated
by third parties and the Bank's own originations. Construction loans also
increased significantly from March 31, 1995, up 88.6% to $83.0 million at
March 31, 1996 as the Company continued to expand its lending for single
family residential construction development. The Company expects that the
Bank's loan portfolio will continue to increase from first quarter 1996 levels
due to both its own internal generation as well as purchases of loans
originated by third parties. See "Cautionary Statement For Purposes of the
'Safe Harbor' Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995," below.

CONSOLIDATION CHARGE RESERVE
In November 1993, the Bank announced a consolidation plan to improve
efficiency and operational productivity in its branch network. To cover the
costs associated with this action, the Bank recorded a consolidation charge of
$12.0 million in the fourth quarter of 1993. At March 31, 1996, the balance
remaining in the consolidation reserve was $4.2 million. The Bank is
continuing to negotiate settlements of lease commitments and believes the
reserve balance at March 31, 1996 is adequate to cover these lease liabilities
and the remaining expenses expected to be incurred as part of the
consolidation program.
Capital
As of March 31, 1996, the Company had a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-
weighted assets (Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio) of 13.88%, a ratio of total
capital to risk weighted assets (total risk-based capital ratio) of 15.19%,
and a ratio of Tier 1 capital to average adjusted total assets (Tier 1
leverage ratio) of 9.31%, while the Bank had a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio
of 12.78%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.09% and a Tier 1 leverage
ratio of 8.54%.
At March 31, 1996, the Corporation had repurchased 2.2 million shares of
its stock for approximately $28.9 million, leaving 53,800 shares remaining to
be purchased in the 5% share repurchase program announced on May 3, 1995. The
Company continues to evaluate alternatives in managing its capital, including
additional share repurchases and acquisitions. On April 24, 1996, the Board
of Directors of the Company declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $.09
per share, payable May 16, 1996 to shareholders of record as of May 6, 1996.
OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
The Company completed the integration of First LA into the Bank in March,
1996. First LA's Beverly Hills and Downtown offices and City National's
Newport Beach office were consolidated with other Bank offices in the
immediate vicinity on February 26, 1996 and the conversion of First LA's
customers to the data processing system used by City National Bank was also
completed on that date. On April 22, 1996, the Bank announced plans to
consolidate First LA's 1999 Avenue of the Stars branch into its 1950 Avenue
of the Stars location effective May 17, 1996.

<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY
The Company continues to manage its liquidity through the combination of
core deposits, federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements, collateralized
borrowing lines at the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of
San Francisco, and a portfolio of securities available for sale. Liquidity is
also provided by maturing investment securities and loans.
Average core deposits comprised 76.1% of total funding in the first
quarter of 1996, compared to 83.7% in the first quarter of 1995. This
decrease has required that the Company increase its use of more costly
alternative funding sources. Despite the decrease in percentage of funding
derived from core deposits, the Company has not faced any liquidity
constraints.
The following table shows that the Company's cumulative interest rate
sensitivity gap on a one year measurement basis decreased from $270.9 million
at March 31, 1995 to ($235.5) million at March 31, 1996. This change resulted
from the Company's efforts to minimize its exposure to large decreases in net
interest income due to a rapid decline in interest rates. The Company has
increased its portfolio of loans that reprice after one year by $383.7 million
during the last twelve months. In addition, the Company has entered into
interest rate swaps totaling $125.0 million to reduce its asset sensitivity.
At March 31, 1996, the unrealized loss on these swaps was approximately $1.1
million. The Company's liability sensitive position during a period of slowly
rising interest rates is not expected to have a significant negative impact on
net interest income since rates paid on the Company's large base of interest
checking, savings and money market deposit accounts historically have not
increased proportionately with increases in interest rates.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF
THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
The Company wishes to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 as to "forward looking"
statements in this Quarterly Report which are not historical facts. The Company
cautions readers that the following important factors could affect the Company's
business and cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in
any forward looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company.
- -- Economic conditions. The Company's results are strongly influenced by general
economic conditions in its market area, Southern California, and a
deterioration in these conditions could have a material adverse impact
on the quality of the Bank's loan portfolio and the demand for its
products and services. In particular, changes in economic conditions in
the real estate and entertainment industries may affect the Company's
performance.
- -- Interest rates. Management anticipates that interest rate levels will remain
generally constant in 1996, but if interest rates vary substantially
from present levels, this may cause the Company's results to differ
materially.
- -- Government regulation and monetary policy. All forward-looking statements
presume a continuation of the existing regulatory environment and U.S.
government monetary policies. The banking industry is subject to
extensive federal and state regulation, and significant new laws or
changes in, or repeals of, existing laws may cause results to differ
materially. Further, federal monetary policy, particularly as
implemented through the Federal Reserve System, significantly affects
credit conditions for the Bank, primarily through open market
operations in U.S. government securities, the discount rate for member
bank borrowings and bank reserve requirements, and a material change in
these conditions would be likely to have an impact on results.
- -- Competition. The Bank competes with numerous other domestic and foreign
financial institutions and non-depository financial intermediaries.
Results may differ if circumstances affecting the nature or level of
competition change, such as the merger of competing financial
institutions or the acquisition of California institutions by out-of-
state companies.
- -- Credit quality. A significant source of risk arises from the possibility that
losses will be sustained because borrowers, guarantors and related
parties may fail to perform in accordance with the terms of their
loans. The Bank has adopted underwriting and credit monitoring
procedures and credit policies, including the establishment and review
of the allowance for credit losses, that management believes are
appropriate to minimize this risk by assessing the likehood of
nonperformance, tracking loan performance and diversifying the Bank's
credit portfolio, but such policies and procedures may not prevent
unexpected losses that could adversely affect the Company's results.
- -- Other risks. From time to time the Company details other risks to its
business and/or its financial results in its filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
While management believes that its assumptions regarding these and
other factors on which forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, such
assumptions are necessarily speculative in nature, and actual outcomes can be
expected to differ to some degree. Consequently, there can be no assurance that
the results described in such forward-looking statements will, in fact, be
achieved.
