  NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  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 holding 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 with current
      year presentation.

  ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 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 Company and the Bank.

  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The Company recorded consolidated net income of $16.0 million, or $.36 per
  share, in the second quarter of 1996, compared to a net income of $11.6
  million, or $.25 per share, in the second quarter of 1995. Most of the change
  between second quarters resulted from an increase in net interest income in
  the second quarter of 1996 of $7.6 million.

      Net income for the first six months of 1996 totaled $31.9 million, or $.71
  per share compared with $22.2 million, or $.48 per share in the 1995 period.
  The six month increase resulted largely from an $18.3 million increase in net
  interest income and $4.0 million increase in non-interest income, partially
  offset by a $10.2 million increase in non-interest expense excluding ORE
  expense.

      Returns on average assets for both the second quarter and the first half
  of 1996 was 1.73% compared with 1.70% and 1.65% for the second quarter and
  first half of 1995. Returns on average equity for the second quarter and the
  first half of 1996 were 17.90% and 17.64%, respectively, compared with 13.39%
  and 13.12% in 1995.

      Taxable equivalent net interest income was $49.4 million in the second
  quarter of 1996, up 20.7% from the year-ago quarter. The increase resulted
  from the 35.6% increase in average interest earning assets between quarters.
  Due to a higher proportion of total funding in the second quarter of 1996 from
  time deposits of $100,000 and over and wholesale money market sources, the net
  interest spread decreased from 5.00% to 4.47% and the net interest margin
  decreased from 6.39% to 5.83%. Management expects modest growth in quarterly
  net interest income for the remainder of 1996 from first half 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 loans, either of which may cause actual results to differ materially
  if the

                                      -7-

  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 $784.8 million (47.1%) between second quarters to
  $2,452.1 million at June 30, 1996. The majority of this increase reflected
  higher average residential first mortgage loans outstanding, up $469.9 million
  (153.4%). This increase resulted from both the Bank's internal loan generation
  as well as bulk purchases of residential first mortgage loans. Average
  construction loans increased $37.0 million (77.9%) from the second 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 $220.6 million (26.5%) and $59.5 million (13.4%) due primarily
  to the acquisition of First Los Angeles Bank (First LA) on December 31, 1995
  and the purchase of corporate loans originated by third parties.

      Total average investments and available for sale securities increased
  $145.9 million (20.9%) between second quarters due mainly to the improved
  liquidity resulting from the acquisition of First LA which had total loans at
  December 31, 1995 of $337.5 million and total deposits of $795.5 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 FASB No. 115. Total average deposits increased $791.7
  million (39.2%) between second quarters due primarily to the acquisition of
  First LA as well as increased deposit levels from the Bank's non-First LA
  customers.

      For the first half of 1996, average loans increased $756.9 million
  (46.1%). Total average investment and available for sale securities increased
  $124.3 million (17.4%) from the comparable period of 1995. Total average
  deposits for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased $771.7 million
  (37.8%) compared to the 1995 period. The changes in the six month average
  balances resulted from the same factors that caused the changes between the
  second quarter average balances.

      The provision for credit losses was zero for the six months ended June 30,
  1996 and 1995. Loans charged off in the second quarter of 1996 were $7.8
  million, compared to $5.6 million in the second quarter of 1995. Recoveries
  were $6.1 million in the second quarter of 1996, compared to $6.3 million in
  the second quarter of 1995. The provision for credit losses is expected to
  remain at reduced levels for the remainder of 1996. This forward-looking
  statement

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
  is based on an assumption that general economic conditions in Southern
  California will not deteriorate materially in 1996, and if this assumption
  proves to be 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 $10.4 million for the second quarter of 1996, up $1.9
  million (22.1%) from a year earlier. For the six months ended June 30, 1996,
  non-interest income excluding gains and losses on the sale of securities and
  assets totaled $20.4 million, an increase of $3.6 million (21.6%) from last
  year's total of $16.7 million. Service charges on deposit accounts increased
  $.9 million (45.0%) and $1.7 million (44.4%), respectively, for the quarter
  and six months ended June 30, 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 $.7 million (34.5%) and $1.2
  million (29.6%) for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 due to
  higher fees and new investment products offered to customers. Management
  expects modest growth in non-interest income from first half 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 $34.0 million in
  the second quarter of 1996, an increase of $3.8 million (12.7%) from the
  second quarter of 1995. Salaries and other employee benefits increased $1.7
  million (10.4%) and $5.3 million (15.9%) for the quarter and six months ended
  June 30, 1996, respectively, from comparable periods in 1995 due primarily to
  the additional personnel added as a result of the acquisition of First LA and
  the hiring of additional personnel to pursue other opportunities.

      The expense categories other than staff increased $2.1 million (15.5%) and
  $4.9 million (18.5%) for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996,
  respectively, from the comparable periods in 1995. The increases in
  professional expenses resulted primarily from higher consulting expenses. The
  increases in promotion expenses resulted from the Company's increased
  advertising program and the other increases were as a result of the
  acquisition of First LA, including $.7 million in acquisition related costs
  incurred in the first quarter of 1996 to cover certain integration expenses
  related to the acquisition of First LA.

      The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 33.8% in the second quarter
  of 1996 from 39.1% in the second quarter of 1995. The decrease resulted from
  the recognition of $.9 million in previously unrecognized deferred tax
  benefits 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 1996 first half levels. See "Cautionary Statement For Purposes of the
  'Safe Harbor' Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
  1995", below.

  Gross loans at June 30, 1996 amounted to $2,547.7 million, up $847.9 million
  (49.9%) from June 30, 1995.  Approximately $200.0 million of the increase,
  concentrated primarily in real estate mortgage loans, was due to the
  acquisition of First LA.  The $464.6 million increase in residential first
  mortgage loans resulted from the purchase of residential first mortgages
  originated by third parties and the Bank's own originations.  Construction
  loans also increased significantly from June 30, 1995, up $43.7 million to
  $96.1 million at June 30, 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 second quarter
  1996 levels due both to 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 June 30, 1996, the balance
  remaining in the consolidation reserve was $4.1 million. The Bank is
  continuing to negotiate settlements of lease commitments and believes the
  reserve balance at June 30, 1996 is adequate to cover these lease liabilities.

  CAPITAL ADEQUACY REQUIREMENTS

       As of June 30, 1996, the Company had a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-
  weighted assets (Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio) of 14.01%, a ratio of total
  capital to risk weighted assets (total risk-based capital ratio) of 15.31%,
  and a ratio of Tier 1 capital to average adjusted total assets (Tier 1
  leverage ratio) of 9.60%, while the Bank had a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio
  of 13.23%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.53% and a Tier 1 leverage
  ratio of 9.04%.

       At June 30, 1996, the Corporation had repurchased 2.2 million shares of
  its stock for approximately $28.9 million, leaving 53,800 million 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 acquisitions, and to a lesser extent, additional share
  repurchases. On July 24, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company declared
  a regular quarterly dividend of $.09 per share, payable August 15, 1996 to
  shareholders of record as of August 5, 1996.

  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 74.2% of total funding in the second
  quarter of 1996, compared to 80.6% in the second 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 one year interest
  rate sensitivity gap decreased from $392.1 million at June 30, 1995 to
  ($473.2) million at June 30, 1996. This change resulted from the Company's
  effort to lower its exposure to decreases in net interest income due to a
  rapid decline in interest rates. The Company has increased its portfolio of
  loans that reprices after one year by $578.0 million during the last twelve
  months. In addition, the Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts
  with maturities in excess of one year totaling $150.0 million to eliminate its
  asset sensitivity. At June 30, 1996 the unrealized loss on the Company's
  interest rate swap contracts were $1.5 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 statement 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 regulations, 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
       competitive change, such as the merger

                                      -20-
<PAGE>
 
       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 likelihood 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
       businesses 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.

  PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

  ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITIES HOLDERS.

      On April 16, 1996, the Registrant held its annual meeting of stockholders.
  The stockholders elected the 11 directors listed in the Registrant's proxy
  statement and approved amendments to the Registrant's Certificate of
  Incorporation (a) providing for a classified Board of Directors, with
  staggered terms, consisting of a maximum of 14 and a minimum of 5 directors
  (Article NINTH), and (b) relating to the indemnification of directors and
  officers by the Registrant (Article SEVENTH). The following table sets forth
  the number of votes cast for or withheld with respect to each director. Under
  applicable Delaware law, votes withheld have the same effect as votes cast
  against a nominee, and for this reason the ballot did not offer a separate
  opportunity to vote against a nominees. Additionally, the table sets forth the
  number of votes cast for or against the amendments, as well as the number of
  abstentions and, with respect to the amendment to Article NINTH only, broker
  non-votes.
