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,
1996.
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. On January 17, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of Ventura
County National Bancorp (VCNB) for $49.1 million by issuing 1,344,095
treasury shares with an aggregate market value of $28.1 million and paying
$21.0 million in cash. VCNB had shareholders' equity of $30.2 million at
closing. This acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. On January 24, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of

963,430 treasury shares with an aggregate market value of $20.7 million as
well as paying $20.6 million in cash. RNB had shareholders' equity of
$22.5 million at closing. This acquisition was accounted for under the

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 $19.6 million, or $.41 per
share, in the second quarter of 1997, compared to a net income of $16.0 million,
or $.36 per share, in the second quarter of 1996. Most of the change between
second quarters resulted from an increase in net interest income of $14.7
million and an increase in noninterest income of $3.5 million offset in part by
a $11.5 million increase in noninterest expenses due to the acquisitions of
Ventura County National Bancorp (VCNB) and Riverside National Bank (RNB) in
January 1997 and the strong growth in business.
Net income for the first six months of 1997 totaled $37.6 million, or $.79
per share compared with $31.9 million, or $.71 per share in the 1996 period.
The six month increase resulted largely from a $25.3 million increase in net
interest income and a $4.7 million increase in non-interest income, partially
offset by a $19.2 million increase in non-interest expense.
Returns on average assets for the second quarter and first half of 1997
were 1.67% and 1.66%, respectively, compared with 1.73% for both the second
quarter and first half of 1996. Returns on average equity for the second
quarter and first half of 1997 decreased to 16.87% and 16.56%, respectively,
from 17.90% and 17.64% in 1996 as a result of the increase in average equity
caused by the issuance of 2.3 million shares of treasury stock for the two
acquisitions completed in January 1997, and retained earnings for the last
twelve months.
Taxable equivalent net interest income was $65.2 million in the second
quarter of 1997, up 31.8% from the year-ago quarter. The increase resulted from
a 36.4% increase in average loans between quarters as well as a 28.0% increase
in non-interest bearing deposits. The net interest spread increased from 4.47%
to 4.72% and the net interest margin increased from 5.83% to 6.15% due to the
strong increase in loans, improved yields from securities and good growth
-8-
<PAGE>
in core deposits. Management expects modest growth in quarterly net interest
income for the remainder of 1997 from first half 1997 levels. The foregoing
forward-looking statement assumes, among other things, that short term
interest rate levels will increase somewhat in 1997 and is based on
anticipated growth in loans. Actual results may differ materially if either
of those assumptions proves to be incorrect. See "Cautionary Statement for
Purposes of the 'Safe Harbor' Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995", below.
Average loans increased $893.4 million (36.4%) between second quarters to
$3,345.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. This increase reflected
higher average commercial and residential first mortgage loans outstanding,
up $535.7 million (50.9%) and $168.7 million (21.7%), respectively. The
increase in commercial loans resulted from the Bank's internal loan
generation, the acquisitions of VCNB and RNB in January 1997 and purchases of
syndicated corporate loans. The increase in residential first mortgage loans
resulted from both the Bank's internal loan generation and bulk purchases of
residential first mortgage loans. Average construction loans increased $41.3
million (48.8%) from the second quarter of 1996, and average real estate
mortgage loans increased $135.8 million (26.9%), due primarily to the
acquisitions of VCNB and RNB.
Total average investments and available for sale securities decreased by
$7.1 million between second quarters due to strong loan demand. Total
average deposits increased $776.3 million (27.6%) between second quarters due
primarily to the acquisitions of VCNB and RNB as well as increased deposit
levels generated by the Bank's existing branches.
For the first half of 1997, average loans increased $834.2 million
(34.8%), and total average investment and available for sale securities
decreased $3.6 million (.4%). Total deposits for the six months ended June
30, 1997 increased $675.0 million (24.0%) compared to the 1996 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, 1997 and 1996. Loans charged off in the second quarter of 1997 were $7.9
million, compared to $7.8 million in the second quarter of 1996. Recoveries
were $3.2 million in the second quarter of 1997, compared to $6.1 million in
the second quarter of 1996. The provision for credit losses is expected to
remain at reduced levels for the remainder of 1997. This forward-looking
statement is based on an
-9-
<PAGE>
assumption that general economic conditions in Southern California will not
deteriorate materially in 1997, 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 $13.7 million for the second quarter of 1997, up $3.3
million (31.4%) from a year earlier. For the six months ended June 30, 1997,
non-interest income excluding gains and losses on the sale of securities and
assets totaled $25.5 million, an increase of $5.2 million (25.4%) from last
year's total of $20.4 million. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $.6
million (20.6%) and $1.2 million (22.7%), respectively, for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1997 due primarily to the acquisitions of VCNB and RNB.
Investment services income increased $.3 million (11.1%) and $.9 million (17.0%)
for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 due to new customers and new
investment products offered to customers. Trust fees increased $.4 million
(24.4%) and $.7 million (20.8%) for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1997 due to higher amounts of new business. International fees increased $.6
million (51.0%) and $1.2 million (52.9%) for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1997 due to business generated by the addition of several additional
foreign exchange traders in mid-1996 and the Bank's increased marketing efforts.
Included in all other income in the second quarter of 1997 was a $.9 settlement
of a lawsuit with a borrower. Management expects modest growth in non-interest
income from first half 1997 levels during the remainder of 1997. 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 $45.7 million in
the second quarter of 1997, an increase of $11.7 million (34.3%) from the second
quarter of 1996. For the first half of 1997, excluding net ORE results,
non-interest expense totaled $89.3 million, an increase of $19.2 million (27.5%)
from the first half of 1996. Salaries and other employee benefits increased
$6.4 million (35.5%) and $9.8 million (25.6%) for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1997 from the comparable period in 1996, due primarily to the
additional personnel added as a result of the acquisition of VCNB and RNB and
the hiring of additional personnel to internally grow the business.

<PAGE>
The expense categories other than staff increased $5.2 million (32.9%) and
$9.4 million (29.7%) for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 from the
comparable period in 1996. The increases in professional expenses resulted
primarily from higher consulting and legal fees. The increase in promotion
expenses resulted from the Company's expanded advertising program. Other
noninterest expense for the first half of 1997 included charges totaling $1.8
million and $.4 million during the first and second quarters, respectively, for
the unreserved portion of the cost of a buyout of the Company's then existing
data processing contract, the write-off of unamortized software and hardware
connected with that contract and conversion expenses incurred to date to convert
to a new data processing provider. In March 1997, the Company reached
agreements with its insurance carriers regarding a lender liability lawsuit
which it settled with a former bank customer in the fourth quarter of 1996. The
insurance reimbursements of $2.5 million have been credited to other noninterest
expense. The remaining other increases resulted from the acquisitions of VCNB
and RNB. Amortization of goodwill and core deposit intangibles increased to $1.8
and $3.2 million for the second quarter and first six months of 1997 from $.4
million and $.9 million in the applicable periods in 1996. In April 1997, the
Company signed a seven year contract with its new data processing provider which
is expected to reduce its data processing expense after completion of the
conversion. Noninterest expense levels for the second half of 1997 are expected
to decrease from first half 1997 levels with the completion of the integration
of VCNB and RNB into City National Bank and the completion of the conversion to
the new data processing provider. See "Cautionary Statement For Purposes of the
'Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995", below.
The Company's effective tax rate increased to 36.7% in the second quarter
of 1997 from 33.8% in the second quarter of 1996. The increase resulted from
the recognition of $.9 million in previously unrecognized deferred tax benefits
in the second quarter of 1996. The Company expects the effective tax rate for
the remainder of 1997 to remain near 1997 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, 1997 amounted to $3,446.5 million, up $898.7
million (35.3%) from June 30, 1996. Approximately $300.0 million of the
increase was due to the acquisitions of VCNB and RNB. The $556.1 million
increase in commercial loans was due to the Bank's own loan originations, the
acquisitions of VCNB and RNB and the purchase of syndicated corporate loans.
The $128.6 million increase in residential first mortgage loans resulted from
the Bank's own originations, which were supplemented by purchases of
residential first mortgages originated by third parties. Construction loans
also increased significantly from June 30, 1996, up $29.7 million to $125.8
million at June 30, 1997 as the Company continued to expand its lending for
residential construction development. The Company expects that the Bank's
loan portfolio will continue to increase from second quarter 1997 levels due
primarily to its own internal loan generation activities. See "Cautionary
Statement For Purposes of the 'Safe Harbor' Provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995", below.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." This Statement establishes standards for
computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS) and applies to entities
with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. This Statement
simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share previously found in
APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings per Share", and makes them comparable to
international EPS standards. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS
with a presentation of basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of
basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities
with complex capital structures. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed
by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the
potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the
issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.
Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to Opinion
15. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods
ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods; earlier
application is not permitted. This Statement requires restatement of all
prior-period EPS data presented. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 128, the Company
anticipates that its basic EPS disclosures will be increased as compared to
the primary EPS disclosures presently required by APB Opinion 15. The Company
does not expect its diluted EPS disclosures will differ materially from the
fully-diluted disclosures presently required by APB Opinion 15.
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of
Information about Capital Structure." SFAS No. 129 consolidates existing
reporting standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital
structure. SFAS No. 129 must be adopted for financial statements for periods
ending after December 15, 1997. The impact on the Company of adopting SFAS
No. 129 is not expected to be material as, the Company's existing disclosures
are generally in compliance with the disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 129.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. SFAS No. 130 is effective for
-18-
<PAGE>
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The impact on the Company
of adopting SFAS No. 130 is not expected to be material to the Company's
existing disclosure.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes
standards for reporting selected information about operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires reporting interim reports to
shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 is
effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15,
1997, and requires comparative information for earlier years to be restated.
The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of SFAS No. 131.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has approved rule amendments to
clarify and expand existing disclosure requirements for derivative financial
instruments. The amendments require expanded disclosure of accounting
policies for derivative financial instruments in the footnotes to the
financial statements, and quantitative and qualitative information about
market risk inherent in market risk sensitive instruments. The required
quantitative and qualitative information should be disclosed outside the
financial statements and related notes thereto. The enhanced accounting
policy disclosure requirements are effective for the quarterly period ended
June 30, 1997. As the Company believes that the derivative financial
instrument disclosures contained within the notes to the financial statements
of its 1996 Form 10-K substantially conform with the accounting policy
requirements of these rule amendments, no further interim period disclosure
has been provided. The rule amendments that require expanded disclosure of
quantitative and qualitative information about market risk are effective with
the 1997 Form 10-K.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY REQUIREMENTS
As of June 30, 1997, the Company had a ratio of Tier 1 capital to
risk-weighted assets (Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio) of 11.82%, a ratio of
total capital to risk weighted assets (total risk-based capital ratio) of
13.10%, and a ratio of Tier 1 capital to average adjusted total assets (Tier
1 leverage ratio) of 9.00%, while the Bank had a Tier 1 risk-based capital
ratio of 10.20%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 11.48% and a Tier 1
leverage ratio of 7.72%.
-19-
<PAGE>
On March 17, 1997, the Company announced a program for repurchase of up
to 1.5 million shares of its common stock. Through June 30, 1997, the
Company had repurchased 663,500 shares at a total cost of $14.7 million.
Shares purchased under the buyback program will be reissued upon the exercise
of stock options and for other general purposes. At June 30, 1997, 628,249
shares were held in treasury with a total cost of $13.9 million.
On July 23, 1997, the Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of
$.11 per share, payable August 14, 1997 to shareholders of record as of
August 4, 1997.
LIQUIDITY
The Company continues to manage its liquidity through a 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 73.9% of total funding in the second
quarter of 1997, compared to 74.2% in the second quarter of 1996. This
decrease has required the Company to 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 ($473.2) million at June 30, 1996 to
($612.4) million at June 30, 1997. 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 reprice after one year by $533.5 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 $250.0 million to
reduce its asset sensitivity. At June 30, 1997 the unrealized loss on the
Company's interest rate swap contracts were $.7 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 short term interest rate
levels will increase in 1997, but if interest rates vary substantially from
this expectation, the Company's results could 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
repeal 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 borrowing 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 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
-22-
<PAGE>
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, 1997, the Registrant held its annual meeting of
stockholders. The stockholders elected the three Class I directors listed in
the Registrant's proxy statement and approved an amendment to the
Registrant's 1995 Omnibus Plan revising the method by which stock options are
awarded to the Registrant's non-employee directors. The following table sets
forth the number of votes cast for, or withheld with respect to, each
director nominated for election. 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
nominee. Additionally, the table sets forth the number of votes cast for or
against the 1995 Omnibus Plan amendment, as well as the number of
abstentions. Broker non-votes were treated as not present at the meeting and
had no effect.
