                            CITY NATIONAL CORPORATION
            NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


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,
     1998.

2.   In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
     Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). This Statement establishes
     accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for
     hedging activities. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
     after June 15, 1999. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137,
     "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of
     the Effective Date of FASB Statement No.133" (SFAS 137), which extended the
     effective date to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company
     uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate exposure, which are
     accounted for as hedging activities and does not believe that the
     implementation will have a significant impact on the Company's financial
     position, net income or net comprehensive income.

3.   Trading account securities are stated at market value. Investments not
     classified as trading 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 net income and
     are reported as comprehensive income included as a separate component of
     shareholders' equity net of taxes.

4.   Certain prior periods' data have been reclassified to conform to current
     period presentation.

5.   Under the Company's current one million-share common stock buyback program,
     which was announced on July 29, 1999, a total of 248,400 shares were
     repurchased during the third quarter of 1999 at a cost of $8.2 million. As
     of October 31, 1999, a total of 280,800 shares were repurchased under this
     program at a cost of $9.3 million. Shares purchased under the buyback
     program will be reissued for the acquisition of The Pacific Bank, upon the
     exercise of stock options and for other general corporate purposes.

6.   On August 27, 1999 the Company completed its acquisition of American
     Pacific State Bank (APSB). The total price was $90.4 million in an all cash
     transaction. This acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method
     of accounting and resulted in the recording of goodwill and core deposit
     intangibles of $65.7 million. Included in goodwill as purchase price
     adjustments were $1.2 million of accrued severance costs, $0.5 million of
     paid transaction-related expenses and $1.5 million of exit costs of which
     $0.25 million remain unpaid as of September 30, 1999. The results of APSB's
     operations are included in those reported by the Company beginning on
     August 28, 1999.

7.   On September 10, 1999, the Bank closed its Fountain Valley branch, a
     location that was acquired in the Company's acquisition of Harbor Bancorp
     in 1998.

8.   On September 22, 1999, the Company announced the signing of a definitive
     agreement for the acquisition of the $728.0 million-asset The Pacific Bank
     in an approximately 50 percent common stock, 50 percent cash transaction
     valued at $153.0 million. The Pacific Bank's shareholders will receive
     either cash, City National Corporation common stock or a combination
     thereof valued at $29.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments. Subject
     to satisfying the conditions of closing including receiving all required
     regulatory and shareholders approvals, the transaction is expected to
     close in the first quarter of 2000.

9.   Payments were made in the first half of 1999 for $0.3 million of purchase
     price adjustments recorded as part of the acquisition of North American
     Trust Company in 1998. Reserves for excess space of $0.5 million still
     exist to be used over the remaining 6.5 years of a lease.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

City National Corporation (the Corporation) is the holding Company for City
National Bank (the Bank). Because the Bank comprises substantially all of the
business of the Corporation, references to the "Company" in this Item 2 reflect
the consolidated activities of the Corporation and the Bank.

See "Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the `Safe Harbor' Provision of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995", on page 18 in connection with
"forward looking" statements included in the Overview section of Results of
Operations and in the Loan Portfolio section of the Balance Sheet Analysis.

The Company regularly evaluates, and holds discussions with, various potential
acquisition candidates. As a general rule, the Company does not publicly
announce such acquisitions until after a definitive agreement has been reached,
as in the September 22, 1999 announcement of the definitive agreement entered
into between the Company and The Pacific Bank in a transaction valued at $153.0
million. Also as a matter of policy, the Company generally does not make any
specific projections as to future earnings nor does it endorse any projections
regarding future performance which may be made by others.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The Company recorded consolidated net income of $28.1 million, or $0.60 per
diluted common share, in the third quarter of 1999, compared to $25.4 million,
or $0.53 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 1998. Increased net
income was primarily due to $7.6 million in higher net interest income, and $6.4
million higher noninterest income, partially offset by $10.5 million in higher
noninterest expense.

Net income for the first nine months of 1999 totaled $80.2 million, or $1.70 per
diluted common share compared with $71.5 million or $1.48 per diluted common
share in the 1998 period. The nine-month increase resulted largely from a $16.3
million increase in net interest income and a $13.5 million increase in
noninterest income, partially offset by a $16.9 million increase in noninterest
expense.

Return on average assets for the third quarter and first nine months of 1999
were 1.72% and 1.71%, respectively, compared with 1.78% and 1.74% for the
corresponding periods of 1998. Return on average equity for the third quarter
and first nine months of 1999 increased to 19.94% and 19.08% from 18.70% and
17.86% in 1998.

Earnings before the amortization of goodwill and core deposits intangibles
(net of applicable taxes) ("cash" earnings) for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1999 were $29.8 million or $0.64 per diluted common share
and $84.9 million or $1.81 per diluted common share, respectively, compared
to $26.6 million or $0.56 per diluted common share and $75.6 million or $1.56
per diluted common share in the corresponding periods of 1998. On the same
basis, the returns on average assets were 1.83% for both the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1999 compared to 1.88% and 1.86% for the same
periods in 1998. Cash return on average common equity was 22.88% and 22.47%
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively,
compared to 21.91% and 20.98% for the year ago periods. "Cash" earnings are
presented because they measure the Company's ability to support growth, pay
dividends and repurchase stock. The Company's "cash" earnings per share and
other ratios are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures
reported by other companies.

Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis increased 10.0% to $83.9
million in the third quarter of 1999 compared with $76.3 million in the year-ago
quarter, and increased 6.6% from $78.7 million in the prior quarter. The
year-over-year increase resulted primarily from the 12.5% increase in average
loans over the last year. Interest recovered on nonaccrual and charged-off loans
was $4.9 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared with $6.0 million for
the same period a year ago. The third quarter fully taxable-net interest spread
and the net interest margin decreased to 4.14% and 5.57%, respectively, from
4.16% and 5.79%, for the comparable period a year ago. The combination of strong
growth in earning assets, which outpaced growth in lower cost core deposits, and
the slightly lower prime rate that took effect in the fourth quarter of 1998,
contributed to a decrease in net interest margin.

                                     7
<PAGE>

Management expects modest growth in net interest income for the remainder of
1999, assuming, among other things, that loan balances will continue to grow.
Actual results may vary if the assumption proves to be incorrect.

Average loans increased $563.2 million (13.1%) in the third quarter to
$4,866.0 million compared to the prior-year quarter and $263.4 million (5.7%)
from the second quarter of 1999. This increase includes $85.0 million in
average loans from the APSB acquisition. The year-over-year growth was driven
primarily by increases in commercial, real estate commercial and construction
loans. Commercial loan average balances increased $334.5 million (14.9%) to
$2,575.8 million. Real estate commercial mortgage loan averages rose $108.6
million (14.5%) to $859.9 million. Construction loan average balances also
increased $81.6 million (36.6%) to $304.8 million.

Total loans at September 30, 1999 were $5.2 billion compared with $4.7 billion
at June 30, 1999 and $4.5 billion at December 31, 1998. This increase includes
$266.9 million from the American Pacific State Bank ("APSB") acquisition.
Relationship-originated loans increased $726.1 million in the first nine months
of 1999 while non-relationship-syndicated loans, which continue to be less than
10.0% of the portfolio, and purchased residential mortgage loans declined $84.6
million due to repayments and loan sales.

Total average deposits increased $488.8 million (11.4%) between third quarters
due primarily to increased deposit levels generated by banking offices, the
Bank's specialty deposit department and $133.8 million in average deposits from
the APSB acquisition. Total average securities increased $192.5 million (21.6%).

Total deposits as of September 30, 1999 increased $862.1 million (19.4%)
compared to September 30, 1998 and were $626.4 million (13.4%) higher than June
30, 1999. Included in this increase was $403.1 million from the acquisition of
APSB.

The Company recorded no credit loss provision for the quarters and nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 due to changes in the portfolio and net credit
recoveries of $0.3 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared with net
credit losses of $5.0 million in the first nine months of 1998. Loans charged
off in the third quarter of 1999 were $7.5 million, compared to $3.1 million in
the third quarter of 1998. Recoveries were $2.9 million and $2.8 million in the
quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The allowance for
credit losses was 2.69% of total loans at September 30, 1999 compared to 3.12%
at September 30, 1998 and 2.79% at June 30, 1999. The provision for credit
losses is expected to remain at reduced levels but not necessarily at zero for
the remainder of 1999. This assumes that general economic conditions in Southern
California will not deteriorate materially during the balance of 1999, and if
this assumption proves to be inaccurate, a higher provision for credit losses
may be required. The provision levels for the balance of 1999 will depend on
numerous factors including the general economic conditions that impact
borrowers.

Noninterest income of $23.2 million for the third quarter of 1999 continued a
sustained growth trend, increasing by $6.4 million (37.9%) over the $16.8
million reported in the same period a year ago. For the first nine months of
1999 noninterest income rose $13.5 million (26.7%) to $64.0 million compared to
$50.5 million for the same period in 1998. Investment services and trust fees
increased in the third quarter of 1999 compared to the year-earlier quarter as a
result of strong, internally generated new business as well as new revenue
generated from the North American Trust Company ("NATC") acquisition, which was
completed at the end of 1998. Noninterest income is expected to maintain its
growth trend over prior-year results for the remainder of 1999. Gains on sale of
assets and securities amounted to $2.1 million for the quarter compared with
$1.3 million in the year ago quarter.

Noninterest expense totaled $61.4 million in the third quarter of 1999, an
increase of $10.5 million (20.7%) from the third quarter of 1998. For the first
nine months of 1999 noninterest expense totaled $175.1 million, an increase of
$16.9 million (10.7%) from the first nine months of 1998. This increase is
primarily due to the additional personnel added as a result of the acquisition
of NATC, integration expenses of $1.1 million related to the APSB acquisition,
the hiring of additional personnel related to new branch openings and other
growth opportunities, and a more performance based compensation structure. Of
the $1.1 million of integration expenses, $0.5 million were paid in the third
quarter and $0.6 million reflects an accrual for new check orders of $0.3
million and unbilled integration costs of $0.3 million. All of the $0.2 million
of NATC integration expenses accrued in 1998 were paid in the first half of
1999. Noninterest expense levels for the remainder of 1999 are expected to be
higher than in 1998 reflecting the growth of the Company and the acquisition of
NATC and APSB.

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs written using two digits
(rather than four) to define years. Computers or other equipment with
date-sensitive software may recognize "00" as 1900 rather than 2000. This could
result in system failure or miscalculations. If the Company or significant
customers, suppliers or other third parties fail to properly address Year 2000
issues, the Company's ability to operate could be affected. The Company's Year
2000 Readiness discussion follows:

During the first nine months of 1999, efforts continued to address Year 2000
matters in accordance with the Company's five-phase project plan, which covers
information technology as well as embedded systems. The five phases are
awareness, assessment, renovation, validation and implementation with
contingency planning as a part of the validation phase. As previously reported,
the Company has completed all five phases and met all regulatory guidelines. As
an additional precaution, the Company has developed a contingency plan for each
of its mission critical business units which establishes trigger dates for
implementation of the plan for each software application. The field testing for
contingency plans has been completed. At this time, the Bank is implementing its
transition strategy and finalizing steps for the Year 2000 weekend. However,
these plans do not guarantee that circumstances beyond the Company's control
will not adversely impact operations. At this time, based on assessments and
testing to date, the Company does not foresee any Year 2000 issues that would
materially impair the Bank's ability to conduct business.

The Company is engaged in the ongoing process of considering and examining
whether or not there would be a material effect on its business, net income or
balance sheet if its vendors, suppliers and customers do not become Year 2000
compliant in a timely manner. With regard to customer readiness, the Company has
queried and continues to query all commercial borrowers with loans of $1.0
million and over. For those customers having responded, it has been determined
that their compliance efforts at this time appear satisfactory or their business
would not be significantly affected by Year 2000 matters. In addition, there is
a group of customers who have indicated their compliance will be in the future
and the Company continues to monitor their progress. The Company in its review
of the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses has considered the potential
for Year 2000 risks to its borrowers.

Where the Company is a third party vendor to customers, as in the area of cash
management, the Company appears to have reached Year 2000 readiness. The
Company's analysis of the corporate counterparties for its investments and
current hedging position has also been completed. The Company continues to
monitor the premises it occupies for any risks.

In the first nine months of 1999, approximately $1.8 million was directly and
indirectly expensed on Year 2000 matters. This amount excludes hardware and
software that was replaced in the normal course of business. Total direct and
indirect expenses are expected to be approximately $2.5 million for all of 1999.

The Company's effective tax rate of 34.8% in the third quarter of 1999 was
slightly lower than the previous year's third quarter and for all of 1998
reflecting an increase in state tax credits received as an incentive for making
or renewing loans in certain designated areas in and around Los Angeles. It is
expected that the Company's tax rate will remain in the 35.0% range for the
remainder of 1999 due to state tax credits and the Company's additional
investment in affordable housing limited partnerships.

Gross loans at September 30, 1999 amounted to $5,171.9 million, up
$828.1 million (19.1%) from September 30, 1998 and up $641.5 million (14.2%)
from December 31, 1998. This increase includes $266.9 million from the APSB
purchase acquisition. Contributing to the $413.7 million increase in
commercial loans from September 30, 1998 were $90.6 million from the APSB
acquisition, internal loan originations and the purchase of syndicated
corporate loans. During the quarter, commercial relationship-originated loans
increased $125.3 million while commercial non-relationship syndicated loans
increased $31.5 million. The $87.9 million increase in residential first
mortgage loans from the year ago quarter resulted from the Bank's own
originations. Construction loans, including $2.9 million from APSB, increased by
$93.9 million from September 30, 1998 as the Company continued to expand its
lending for residential and commercial construction development. Real estate
mortgage loans increased $230.6 million from the same period a year ago due
to $172.3 million from APSB and internal loan originations. The Company
expects that the Bank's loan portfolio will increase from third quarter 1999
levels due primarily to its own internal loan generation activities and loan
purchases.

Lower capital ratios than in previous quarters resulted from the goodwill
generated from the all-cash acquisition of APSB completed in August 1999.

Under the Company's current one million-share common stock buyback program,
which was announced on July 29, 1999, a total of 248,400 shares were repurchased
during the third quarter of 1999 at a cost of $8.2 million. As of October 31,
1999, a total of 280,800 shares were repurchased under this program at a cost of
$9.3 million. Shares purchased under the buyback program will be reissued for
the acquisition of The Pacific Bank, upon the exercise of stock options and for
other general corporate purposes.

On October 27, 1999, the Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.165
per share, payable November 22, 1999 to shareholders of record as of November
10, 1999.


ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The principal objectives of asset/liability management are to maximize net
interest margin subject to margin volatility and liquidity constraints. Margin
volatility results when the rate reset (or repricing) characteristics of assets
are materially different from those of the Company's liabilities. Liquidity risk
results from the mismatching of asset and liability cash flows. Management
chooses asset/liability strategies that promote stable earnings and reliable
funding. Interest rate risk and funding positions are kept within limits
established by the Company's board of directors to ensure that risk-taking is
not excessive and that liquidity is properly managed.

The Company has established three measurement processes to quantify and manage
exposure to interest rate risk: net interest income simulation modeling, gap
analysis, and present value of equity analysis. Net interest income simulations
are used to identify the direction and severity of interest rate risk exposure
across a twelve month forecast horizon. Gap analysis provides insight into
structural mismatches of assets and liability repricing characteristics and
reflects the attrition and prepayment behavior of deposit and loan customers.
Present value of equity calculations are used to estimate the theoretical price
sensitivity of shareholder equity to changes in interest rates. The Company uses
simulation modeling to estimate the potential effects of changing interest
rates. This process allows the Company to fully explore the complex
relationships within the gap over time and various interest rate scenarios.
Income simulation is the primary tool used to manage interest rate risk.

The use of interest rate swaps to manage interest rate exposure involves the
risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet contractual terms.
These counterparties must receive appropriate credit approval before the

                                     16

Company enters into an interest rate contract. Notional principal amounts
express the volume of these transactions, although the amounts potentially
subject to credit and market risks are much smaller. The Company's interest
rate swaps are entered into as hedges against a decrease in interest income
generated from prime based loans if the prime decreased or to convert fixed
rate deposits and debt into floating rate liabilities. The Company has not
entered into transactions involving any other interest rate derivative
financial instruments, such as interest rate floors, caps and interest rate
futures contracts.

As of September 30, 1999, the Company has $985.0 million of notional principal
in "receive" fixed-pay LIBOR interest rate swaps, of which $520.0 million have
maturities greater than one year. The Company's interest-rate risk-management
instruments had a fair value of $(4.5) million and $6.4 million at September 30,
1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively, with no exposure to credit risk at
September 30, 1999 and $6.4 million at December 31, 1998. The credit exposure
represents the cost to replace, on a present value basis and at current market
rates, the net positive value of all contracts for each counterparty that were
outstanding at the end of the period. The Company's swap agreements require the
deposit of collateral to mitigate the amount of credit risk if certain credit
exposure thresholds are exceeded. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had
deposited $2.0 million par value in securities to mitigate credit exposure.

At September 30, 1999, the Company's outstanding foreign exchange contracts
totaled $43.3 million. The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts with
its customers and counterparty banks solely for the purpose of offsetting or
hedging transaction and economic exposures arising out of commercial
transactions. The Company's policies prohibit outright speculation by the
Company and its employees. The Company actively manages its foreign exchange
exposures within prescribed risk limits and controls. All foreign exchange
contracts outstanding at September 30, 1999 had remaining maturities of six
months or less.


LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

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 securities and loans. In addition as part of the
Company's year 2000 planning, a $50 million Federal Home Loan Bank Commitment
is in place.

Average core deposits and shareholders' equity comprised 68.5% of total funding
in the third quarter of 1999, compared to 71.5% in the third quarter of 1998.
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 and shareholders' equity, the Company has not faced
any liquidity constraints.

      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 rates will remain flat or
slightly higher. 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 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
policies 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.

- --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
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.
