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

1.   City National Corporation (the "Corporation") is the holding company for
     City National Bank (the "Bank"). In light of the fact that the Bank
     comprises substantially all of the business of the Corporation, references
     to the "Company" mean the Corporation and the Bank together.

2.   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 the interim period
     presented. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read
     in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included
     in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
     31, 1999.

3.   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 was originally
     scheduled to be 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. In June
     2000, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain
     Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", which amends
     SFAS No. 133. The Corporation uses interest rate swaps to manage
     interest rate exposure, which are accounted for as hedging activities.
     Management does not believe that the implementation will have a
     significant impact on the Corporation's financial position, net income
     or net comprehensive income.

     In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers
     and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" as a
     replacement of SFAS 125 effective for disclosures in financial statements
     issued subsequent to December 15, 2000, and for transactions entered
     into after March 31, 2001. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS 140
     will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

4.   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, net of taxes are excluded from
     net income and are reported as other comprehensive loss included as a
     separate component of shareholders' equity.

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

6.   On February 29, 2000, the Corporation acquired The Pacific Bank, N.A.
     ("Pacific Bank"). In that transaction, Pacific Bank merged into the Bank
     and the Corporation paid consideration equal to $145.2 million
     (including the consideration for stock options), 47.0% of which was paid
     in the Corporation's common stock and 53.0% of which was paid in cash.
     The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. Pacific Bank had total
     assets, loans, and deposits of $782.0 million, $488.0 million, and
     $702.0 million, respectively, at the date of acquisition. The
     acquisition of Pacific Bank resulted in the recording of goodwill and
     intangibles of approximately $69.5 million. Included in goodwill as
     purchase price adjustments were $4.3 million of accrued severance and
     change of control costs, of which $0.4 million remain unpaid as of
     September 30, 2000, $1.3 million of paid transaction-related expenses
     and $3.2 million of exit costs of which approximately $2.0 million
     remain unpaid as of September 30, 2000. Results reflect the operations
     of Pacific Bank from February 29, 2000, the date of acquisition.

7.   Reserves established as a purchase price adjustment for the August 27, 1999
     acquisition of American Pacific State Bank ("APSB") of $0.2 million for
     severance accruals and $0.2 million for exit costs remain as of September
     30, 2000. Reserves established as a purchase price adjustment for the
     December 31, 1998 acquisition of North American Trust Company of $0.4
     million for excess space continue to be amortized over the remaining 5.17
     years of a lease.

8.   Under the Corporation's stock buyback program of one million shares of the
     Corporation's common stock announced on July 29, 1999, 731,100 shares had
     been repurchased for a cost of $23.5 million as of September 30, 2000. No
     shares were repurchased in the third quarter of 2000. The shares purchased
     under the buyback program have been reissued for acquisitions and upon the
     exercise of stock options. There were no Treasury shares at September 30,
     2000. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2000, the remaining
     268,900 shares of the program were repurchased for a cost of $8.6 million.
     On October 26, 2000, a new one million share stock buyback program of the
     Corporation's common stock was announced.

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


         See "Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the `Safe Harbor' Provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995", below relating to
"forward-looking" statements included in this report.


RECENT DEVELOPMENT

         On October 31, 2000, the Corporation announced that it signed a
definitive agreement to acquire the Los Angeles-based investment management
firm of Reed, Conner & Birdwell for a payment at closing of a combination of
the Corporation's stock and notes. The notes, payable over five years, are
valued on the basis of the firm's future growth and profitability. Reed,
Conner & Birdwell has approximately $1.1 billion in client assets under
management. Upon completion, which management expects to occur prior to
year-end, the transaction will increase to more than $17.8 billion the assets
under management or administration by the Corporation.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

         The Corporation recorded net income of $34.2 million for the third
quarter of 2000, a 21.6% increase from net income of $28.1 million in the third
quarter of 1999, and a 2.1% increase from $33.4 million in the second quarter of
2000. Cash net income, which excludes the amortization of core deposit
intangibles and goodwill from acquisitions, increased 27.1% to $37.9 million for
the third quarter of 2000 from $29.8 million for the third quarter of 1999, and
rose 1.9% from $37.2 million in the second quarter of 2000. These increases
reflected the continued growth in loans and deposits, increases in net interest
income and increases in noninterest income, partially offset by increases in
noninterest expense and a provision for credit losses.

         Net income per diluted common share of $0.70 per share for this year's
third quarter increased 16.7%, compared with $0.60 per share in the third
quarter of 1999, and 2.9% above the $0.68 per diluted common share reported for
the 2000 second quarter. Slightly over $0.01 per diluted common share in the
third quarter of 2000 was attributable to the net effect of a non-recurring gain
on the sale of securities and closure costs for two banking offices. Cash net
income per diluted common share for this year's third quarter rose 20.3% to
$0.77, compared with $0.64 per diluted common share for the third quarter of
1999 and $0.76 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2000.
Management expects earnings per diluted common share for the fourth quarter to
be within the current range of analysts' projections of $0.67 to $0.70 per
diluted common share as reflected in First Call.

         The Corporation recorded net income of $98.6 million for the first nine
months of 2000, an increase of 23.0% over net income of $80.2 million for the
first nine months of 1999. Cash net income for the first nine months of 2000
rose 28.2% to $108.9 million from $84.9 million for the 1999 comparable period.
Net income per diluted common share for the first nine months of 2000 increased
by 20.0% to $2.04 per diluted common share, from $1.70 per diluted common share
in the first nine months of 1999. Cash net income per diluted common share rose
to $2.25, compared with $1.81 per diluted common share for the first nine months
of 1999. The nine month increase resulted primarily from an increase of $65.8
million in net interest income and an increase of $15.6 million in noninterest
income, partially offset by a $44.0 million increase in noninterest expense and
an $11.0 million provision for credit losses. These results reflect the
integration of Pacific Bank, acquired in February 2000, and APSB, acquired in
August 1999.

         The Corporation's return on average assets in the third quarter of 2000
was 1.55%, compared with 1.72% in the 1999 third quarter and 1.58% in the 2000
second quarter. The quarter's decrease reflects the Corporation's larger asset
base and the impact on net income of amortizing the higher level of goodwill
resulting from recent acquisitions. The return on average shareholders' equity
was 19.63%, compared with 19.94% for the prior year quarter and 20.37% for the
second quarter of this year. The decline is attributable, in part, to an
increase in retained earnings and lower unrealized losses on securities during
the third quarter of 2000. For the first nine months of 2000, the return on

                                       8

average assets was 1.58% and the return on average shareholders' equity was
20.25%, compared with a 1.71% return on average assets and a 19.08% return on
average shareholders' equity for the first nine months of 1999.

         On a cash basis (which excludes goodwill and the after-tax impact of
nonqualifying core deposit intangibles from average assets and average
shareholders' equity), the return on average assets in the third quarter of 2000
was 1.75%, compared with 1.83% in the third quarter of 1999. The return on
average shareholders' equity rose to 29.13%, compared with 22.88% for the
prior year quarter. On a cash basis, for the first nine months of 2000, the
return on average assets was 1.79% and the return on average shareholders'
equity was 30.09%, compared with a 1.83% return on average assets and a 22.47%
return on average shareholders' equity for the first nine months of 1999.

NET INTEREST INCOME

         Net interest income is the difference between interest income (which
includes yield-related loan fees) and interest expense. Net interest income on a
taxable-equivalent basis expressed as a percentage of average total earning
assets is referred to as the net interest margin, which represents the average
net effective yield on earning assets.

         As a result of the strong loan and core deposit growth and a higher
prime rate compared with the year earlier period, net interest income on a fully
taxable-equivalent basis rose 27.8% to $107.3 million in the third quarter of
2000 compared with $83.9 million for the same quarter of 1999. The negative
impact of the reversal of income on loans moving to nonaccrual status and lower
interest recovered on nonaccrual and charged-off loans, slightly offset by the
benefit of having one more day in this quarter, contributed to the decline in
third quarter results compared with the $107.8 million for the second quarter of
2000. Interest recovered on nonaccrual and charged-off loans was $0.8 million
for the third quarter of 2000, compared with $0.8 million for the third quarter
of 1999 and $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2000.

         For the first nine months of 2000, net interest income on a fully
taxable-equivalent basis totaled $310.4 million, an increase of 27.8 % over
$242.8 million for the first nine months of 1999. Interest recovered in the
first nine months of 2000 was $3.1 million, compared with $4.9 million for the
same period of 1999.

         The fully taxable-equivalent net interest margin was 5.32% for the
quarter ended September 30, 2000 and 5.46% for the first nine months of 2000
compared with 5.57% and 5.58% for the third quarter and first nine months of
1999, respectively. The net interest margin was 5.58% for the second quarter of
2000. The reduction in average demand deposits between sequential quarters and
the higher level of interest income not recognized on nonaccrual loans
contributed 8 and 7 basis points, respectively, to the reduction of the margin
between the second and third quarters of 2000. In addition, the net interest
margin between the second and third quarters was reduced by 6 basis points by
higher balances on short-term investment securities in the regulated investment
company subsidiary. See "-- Income Taxes." Compared with the prior year periods,
the increase in the cost of funds and unfavorable changes in the funding mix
offset higher yields on earning assets.

         The following tables present the components of net interest income on a
fully taxable-equivalent basis for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000 and 1999. To compare the tax-exempt asset yields to taxable yields, amounts
are adjusted to pre-tax equivalents based on the marginal corporate federal tax
rate of 35%.

         Average loans rose to $6.4 billion during the third quarter of 2000, an
increase of 32.2% over the third quarter of 1999. Average loans increased 2.0%
over the 2000 second quarter. Year-over-year loan growth was driven primarily by
increases in commercial loans and real estate mortgages. Compared with the
year-ago quarter, commercial loan average balances rose 27.0% from $2.6 billion
to $3.3 billion and real estate mortgage averages rose 64.8 % from $0.9 billion
to $1.4 billion, largely as a result of loans added through acquisitions. Growth
in all other loan categories contributed to the increase in average loans over
the prior year and sequential quarters. For the first nine months of 2000,
average loans increased 32.3 % to $6.2 billion from $4.7 billion for the first
nine months of 1999.

         Average securities increased $474.7 million, or 43.8%, to $1.6 billion
for the third quarter of 2000 compared with the third quarter of 1999 and
increased 12.8% from the second quarter of 2000. For the first nine months of
2000, average securities increased $278.2 million, or 25.2%, to $1.4 billion
compared with the 1999 period.

         Average deposits rose during the third quarter of 2000 to $6.5 billion,
an increase of 35.9% over the third quarter of 1999, and an increase of 3.6%
over the 2000 second quarter. During the first nine months of 2000, average
deposits increased 34.5% to $6.2 billion, compared with $4.6 billion for the
same period a year ago. Average core deposits, which excludes time deposits
$100,000 and over, rose during the third quarter of 2000 to $5.0 billion, an
increase of 31.0% over the third quarter of 1999, but decreased 1.0% over the
2000 second quarter. During the first nine months of 2000, average core deposits
increased 30.0% to $4.9 billion, compared with $3.7 billion for the same period
a year ago.

         Net interest income is impacted by the volume and rate of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The following table
shows changes in net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis
between the third quarter and the first nine months of 2000 and the third
quarter and the first nine months of 1999, as well as between the third
quarter and the first nine months of 1999 and the third quarter and the first
nine months of 1998.

</TABLE>

        Management expects its net interest margin in the fourth quarter to
improve modestly from the third quarter, in part, due to anticipated seasonal
increases in core deposits and a decrease in the level of lower yielding
investment securities.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

         The Corporation recorded a provision for credit losses of $7.0
million in the third quarter of 2000. The 2000 year-to-date provision totaled
$11.0 million. The Corporation reported no credit loss provisions in the year
earlier periods. The provision for credit losses during the first nine months
reflects the levels of net charge-offs and nonaccrual loans, management's
ongoing assessment of credit quality of the portfolio and the 24.3%
year-over-year growth of the loan portfolio. The level of provision for
credit losses to be taken in the fourth quarter will reflect management's
assessment of the above factors, as well as the economic environment. Based
on management's current assessment of these factors, the provision could
approximate the amount taken in the third quarter. However, no assurance may
be given that these factors or management's assessment of them will not
change in the future. See "-- Allowance for Credit Losses."

NONINTEREST INCOME

         Noninterest income totaled $28.5 million for the third quarter of 2000,
a 23.1% increase over the $23.2 million reported in the third quarter of 1999.
These results reflect a 6.5% increase over the $26.8 million for the second
quarter of 2000. Noninterest income for the first nine months of this year of
$79.6 million increased 24.3% over the $64.0 million for the first nine months
of 1999.

         Recurring noninterest income, which excludes gain and loss of
securities and assets, increased 27.2% to $26.8 million for the third quarter
of 2000 over the same quarter of 1999. Recurring noninterest income in the
third quarter was essentially unchanged from the second quarter, largely as a
result of strong levels of other income recorded in the second quarter of
2000. The $77.6 million in recurring noninterest income for the first nine
months of 2000 represented a 33.2% increase over the $58.3 million for the
same period in 1999.

         All categories of recurring noninterest income were higher in the
current periods of 2000 compared with the year earlier periods, reflecting the
Corporation's continued emphasis on growing fee income. Investment services and
trust fees rose as a result of a strong cross-selling program to existing
customers, as well as direct-sales activities focused on new customers by City
National Investments (CNI), a division of the Bank.

         Assets under administration in CNI were $16.7 billion at September 30,
2000, including $5.3 billion under management, compared with $13.5 billion and
$3.8 billion, respectively, at September 30, 1999, and $15.5 billion

                                       13

<PAGE>

and $5.2 billion at June 30, 2000. The increase in assets under management
over the year-earlier period is primarily attributable to the CNI Charter
Funds introduced in 1999 and 2000. See--"Recent Development."

         International services income rose significantly as a result of
increased foreign exchange fees and, to a lesser extent, an increase in fee
income associated with letters of credit and standby letters of credit.

         Gains on the sale of assets and securities amounted to $1.7 million and
$2.0 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2000, respectively,
compared with gains of $2.1 million and $5.7 million for the same periods a year
earlier. Noninterest income was 21.0 % of total revenues for the first nine
months of both 2000 and 1999.

         Management expects consistent growth in CNI and international income
and moderate growth in other categories during the 2000 fourth quarter compared
with the year ago period.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

         Third quarter 2000 results benefited from a reduction in noninterest
expense to $74.0 million compared with $76.1 million in the second quarter of
2000. The decline in expenses was, in part due to the completed integration of
Pacific Bank, as well as management's continued emphasis on achieving greater
efficiencies and productivity. Noninterest expense was $61.4 million in the
third quarter of 1999. Noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2000
increased by $44.0 million to $219.1 million, compared with $175.1 million for
the first nine months of 1999.

         The year-over-year increase in expenses was primarily the result of the
Corporation's growth, including expenses associated with additional offices and
a substantial number of new colleagues--mostly from acquisitions--as well as the
amortization of goodwill and core deposit intangibles. Third quarter 2000
results included $0.8 million of severance and excess space provisions relating
to the previously announced closure of two banking offices scheduled to be
completed at the end of the year. Salaries and other employee benefits increased
by $6.3 million, or 18.5%, over the third quarter of 1999; they decreased by
$1.1 million, or 2.6 %, compared with the second quarter of 2000. All other
expenses increased $6.3 million, or 23.2 %, from the third quarter of 1999, but
decreased $1.0 million, or 2.9%, from the second quarter of 2000. Reserves of
approximately $0.3 million remain from the $1.3 million integration charge for
Pacific Bank.

         Management currently anticipates that fourth quarter noninterest
expenses will increase modestly over the third quarter due to continued growth,
moderated by management's emphasis on enhancing efficiency and productivity.

         During 1999, the Corporation completed the process of preparing for the
Year 2000 date change. To date, the Corporation has successfully managed the
transition. Although considered unlikely, unanticipated problems in the
Corporation's business process, including problems associated with non-compliant
third parties and disruptions to the economy in general, could still occur
despite efforts to date to remediate systems problems and develop contingency
plans. Management will continue to monitor all business processes, including
interaction with the Corporation's customers, vendors and other third parties,
throughout 2000 to address any issues and ensure all processes continue to
function properly.

INCOME TAXES

        The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2000 was 33.7% and the
rate for the first nine months of 2000 was 34.4% compared with 35.4% for all of
1999. The lower rate is due primarily to the impact of the formation of a
regulated investment company subsidiary. The long-term plan for the regulated
investment company is currently under review. The effective tax rate is expected
to remain at the current year-to-date rate for the balance of the year.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

         Total average assets reached $8.8 billion in the third quarter of
2000, an increase of 34.9% over the $6.5 billion in average assets in the
third quarter of 1999 and $0.2 billion higher than the second quarter of
2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, total average assets
increased 32.6% to $8.3 billion, compared with $6.3 billion for the same
period a year ago. Increased loan balances due to internally generated loan
growth, as well as the acquisitions of APSB and Pacific Bank contributed to
this growth in average assets.

         Total assets at September 30, 2000 were $8.9 billion, compared with
total assets of $6.9 billion at September 30, 1999, and total assets of $7.2
billion at December 31 1999.

         Total loans at September 30, 2000 were $6.4 billion, compared with
$5.2 billion at September 30, 1999 and $5.5 billion at December 31, 1999. The
increase from December 31, 1999 was primarily driven by an increase in
commercial relationship loans as well as real estate mortgages. Syndicated
non-relationship loans, which represent loans agented by others where the
Corporation has no direct access to the borrower and provides them with no
other banking products or services have been broken out separately. Due to
recent credit concerns attributable to increased interest rates and a
tightening economy, management has decided to reduce its emphasis on
syndicated non-relationship loans.

         Syndicated non-relationship loans declined $202.2 million, or 37.7%,
during the first nine months of 2000, to $334.6 million at September 30, 2000,
and represented approximately 5.0% of the loan portfolio at September 30, 2000,
compared with almost 10.0% at December 31, 1999. The average outstanding loan
balance in the syndicated non-relationship portfolio at September 30, 2000 is
just under $4.0 million, which represents about two-thirds of the average
commitment amount. The decline in syndicated non-relationship lending is
expected to continue as the Corporation emphasizes relationships with clients
who are offered the full array of its products, including loans, deposits, and
fee-based services such as cash management, international, and wealth
management.

         During the first half of the fourth quarter of 2000, management
continued its evaluation of the syndicated non-relationship loan portfolio
and has identified approximately $129.0 million of the $334.6 million of
outstanding syndicated non-relationship loans at September 30, 2000 as
available-for-sale and recorded a charge-off of approximately $4.2 million to
reflect these loans at fair value. Of the loan balances reclassified as
available-for-sale, $103.2 million have been sold through November 13, 2000.

         Management expects that the continued strength in California's economy
and its plans for continued marketing efforts will result in consistent growth
in relationship loans during the fourth quarter.

         The following table presents information concerning nonaccrual loans,
ORE, and restructured loans. Bank policy requires that a loan be placed on
nonaccrual status if either principal or interest payments are ninety days past
due, unless the loan is both well secured and in process of collection; if full
collection of interest or principal becomes

uncertain, regardless of the time period involved; or regulator's ratings of
syndicated credits suggest that the loan be placed on nonaccrual.

         At September 30, 2000, in addition to loans disclosed above as
nonaccrual or restructured, management had also identified $31.4 million of
problem loans about which the ability of the borrowers to comply with the
present loan repayment terms in the future is questionable. Three loans
accounted for $20.5 million of the total with two of the loans totaling $11.5
million being syndicated non-relationship loans. Problem loans were $9.4 million
at September 30, 1999 and $7.3 million at June 30, 2000.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

         The allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2000 totaled $139.2
million, or 2.17% of outstanding loans. This compares with an allowance of
$139.0 million, or 2.69% of outstanding loans at September 30, 1999, and an
allowance of $134.1 million, or 2.44% of outstanding loans at December 31, 1999.

         Loan charge-offs for the third quarter of 2000 were $9.8 million,
slightly higher than the $8.9 million in the second quarter of this year and
$2.3 million ahead of the $7.5 million reflected a year ago. For the same
periods, net charge-offs were $8.3 million, $4.0 million and $4.6 million,
respectively, as the benefit from recoveries continued to decline in relation to
past levels. As a percentage of average loans, net charge-offs on an annualized
basis were 0.51%, 0.25% and 0.37% for the three months ended September 30,
2000, June 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, respectively.

         Slightly more than half of the net charge-offs in this quarter and in
the year-to-date period were for syndicated non-relationship loans. As
previously noted, the Corporation's exposure to syndicated non-relationship
loans continues to decline.

         Total non-performing assets (nonaccrual loans and ORE) were $47.0
million, or 0.73% of total loans and ORE at September 30, 2000, compared with
$21.5 million, or 0.41%, at September 30, 1999 and $26.7 million, or 0.49%, at
December 31, 1999. Two syndicated non-relationship loans totaling $13.9 million
moved to nonaccrual status this quarter. Total syndicated non-relationship loans
on nonaccrual status were $17.2 million at September 30, 2000 compared with none
a year ago and at December 31, 1999. Relationship loans on nonaccrual were $10.4
million higher than a year ago, but only $4.4 million higher than December 31,
1999 levels. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonaccrual loans
was 296.9% at September 30, 2000 compared with 719.7% at September 30, 1999 and
530.2% at December 31, 1999.

         The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level which
management deems appropriate based on a thorough analysis of numerous
factors, including levels of net charge-offs and nonaccrual loans and
continuing growth in the loan portfolio. The level of the allowance for
credit losses can be expected to change in the fourth quarter of 2000 and
will require additional provision for credit losses but not necessarily equal
to net charge-offs. Credit quality will be influenced by underlying trends in
the economic cycle, particularly in California, and other factors which may
be beyond management's control. No assurances can be given that the
Corporation will not sustain credit losses, in any particular period, that
are sizable in relation to the allowance for credit losses. Based on known
information available to it at the date of this report, management believes
that the Corporation's allowance for credit losses was adequate at September
30, 2000. Subsequent evaluation of the loan portfolio, in light of factors
then prevailing, by the Corporation and its regulators will dictate the level
of provisions required to maintain the adequacy of the allowance for credit
losses.

</TABLE>

         The claim in receivership was acquired in the acquisition of
Pacific Bank and is expected to be realized in 2001.


DEPOSITS

         Deposits totaled $6.9 billion at September 30, 2000, compared with $5.3
billion at September 30, 1999 and $5.7 billion at December 31, 1999. Demand
deposits accounted for 40.0% of total deposits at September 30, 2000. Core
deposits which continued to provide substantial benefits to the Bank's cost of
funds rose 4.0% during the quarter. The year-over-year increase resulted from
the Corporation's increased marketing efforts, the nature of the Corporation's
relationship business which allows customers to maintain balances as
compensation for banking services, as well as from the acquisitions of APSB and
Pacific Bank. See "-- Net Interest Income."

</TABLE>

        The reduction in capital ratios from a year ago was due primarily to the
acquisitions of APSB and Pacific Bank and the Corporation's stock repurchase
program, but remain above the well capitalized standards.

         On October 25, 2000, the Corporation declared a regular quarterly cash
dividend on common stock at a rate of $0.175 per share to shareholders of record
on November 8, 2000, payable on November 20, 2000.


LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

         The Corporation 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.

         Average core deposits and shareholders' equity comprised 65.0% of total
funding in the third quarter of 2000, compared with 68.5% in the third quarter
of 1999. This decrease has required that the Corporation increase its use of
more costly alternative funding sources. Despite the decrease in percentage of
funding derived from core deposits and shareholders' equity, the Corporation has
not faced any liquidity constraints. See "-- Net Interest Income."


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

         The principal objective of asset/liability management is to maximize
net interest income 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 Corporation'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 Board of Directors to ensure that risk taking is not
excessive and that liquidity is properly managed.

                                       20

<PAGE>

         A quantitative and qualitative discussion about market risk is included
on pages A-15 to A-18 of the Corporation's Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1999. During the third quarter of 2000, the Corporation remained slightly
more asset sensitive, and at all times remained within the limits set by the
Board of Directors.

         As of September 30, 2000, the Corporation had $900.0 million of
notional principal in receive fixed-pay LIBOR interest rate swaps, of which
$510.0 million have maturities greater than one year. The Corporation's
interest-rate risk-management instruments had a fair value of $(3.5) million and
$(10.4) million at September 30, 2000 and June 30, 2000, respectively, with no
exposure to credit risk at September 30, 2000 or at June 30, 2000. 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 Corporation's swap agreements
require the deposit of collateral to mitigate the amount of credit risk if
certain market value exposure thresholds are exceeded. As of September 30, 2000,
the Corporation had deposited $7.3 million par value in securities with
counterparties.

         At September 30, 2000, the Corporation's outstanding foreign
exchange contracts for both those purchased as well as sold totaled $72.9
million. The Corporation 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 Corporation's policies prohibit outright speculation by the
Corporation. The Corporation actively manages its foreign exchange exposures
within prescribed risk limits and controls. All foreign exchange contracts
outstanding at September 30, 2000 have remaining maturities of 12 months or
less.

     CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF
             THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

         We have made forward-looking statements in this document that are
subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on the beliefs
and assumptions of our management, and on information currently available to our
management. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our
possible or assumed future results of operations, and statements preceded by,
followed by or that include the words "will," believes," "expects,"
"anticipates," "intends," "plans," "estimates" or similar expressions.

         Our management believes these forward-looking statements are
reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking
statements, which are based on current expectations. Future results may differ
materially from those currently expected or anticipated.

         Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They
involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our future results and shareholder
values may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking
statements. Many of the factors described below that will determine these
results and values are beyond our ability to control or predict. For those
statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor contained in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.


         AN ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN IN CALIFORNIA COULD HURT OUR BUSINESS. Prior to
the merger with Pacific Bank, we focused our business in Los Angeles, Orange,
Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Ventura counties of Southern
California. After the merger, our operations include San Francisco and San
Mateo counties. In addition the opening of a new office in Palo Alto extended
operations to Santa Clara county. An economic slowdown in California could
have the following consequences, any of which could hurt our business:

         -        Loan delinquencies may increase;
         -        Problem assets and foreclosures may increase;
         -        Demand for our products and services may decline; and
         -        Collateral for loans made by us, especially real estate, may
                  decline in value, in turn reducing customers' borrowing
                  power, and reducing the value of assets and collateral
                  associated with our existing loans.

         CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES AFFECT OUR PROFITABILITY. Changes in
prevailing rates may hurt our business. We derive our income mainly from the
difference or "spread" between the interest earned on loans, securities and
other interest-earning assets, and interest paid on deposits, borrowings and
other interest-bearing liabilities. In general, the wider the spread, the more
we earn. When market rates of interest change, the interest we receive on our
assets and the interest we pay on our liabilities will fluctuate. This can cause
decreases in our spread and can affect our income. In addition, interest rates
affect how much money we can lend. For example, when interest rate rise, loan
originations tend to decrease.

         SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN BANKING LAWS OR REGULATIONS COULD MATERIALLY
AFFECT OUR BUSINESS. 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 our credit conditions, primarily through open market
operations in U.S. government securities, the discount rate for member bank
borrowing and bank reserve requirements. A material change in these conditions
would have an impact on results.

         WE FACE STRONG COMPETITION FROM FINANCIAL SERVICE COMPANIES AND OTHER
COMPANIES THAT OFFER BANKING SERVICES WHICH CAN HURT OUR BUSINESS. Increased
competition in our market may result in reduced loans and deposits. Ultimately,
we may not be able to compete successfully against current and future
competitors. Many competitors offer the banking services that we offer in our
service area. These competitors include national, regional, and community banks.
We also face competition from many other types of financial institutions,
including, without limitation, savings and loans, finance companies, brokerage
firms, insurance companies, credit unions, mortgage banks, and other financial
intermediaries. Recently passed legislation will make it easier for other types
of financial institutions to compete with us.

                                       22

<PAGE>

         OUR RESULTS WOULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE SUFFERED HIGHER THAN
EXPECTED LOSSES ON OUR LOANS. We assume risk 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. We have adopted
underwriting and credit policies, including establishing and reviewing the
allowance for credit losses, that we believe are appropriate to minimize this
risk. We assess the likelihood of nonperformance, track loan performance, and
diversify our credit portfolio. Those policies and procedures may not prevent
unexpected losses that could adversely affect our results.
