NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE REGISTRANT

1.   The results of operations reflect the interim adjustments, all of which are
     of a normal recurring nature and which, in the opinion of management, are
     necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods.
     These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in
     the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
     1993.

2.   In March of 1993, the Company adopted a program (the Disposition Program)
     to accelerate the disposition of certain assets, consisting of other real
     estate owned (ORE), including in-substance foreclosures, and certain
     nonaccrual loans.  The assets included in the Disposition Program are
     segregated as "assets held for accelerated disposition" on the consolidated
     balance sheet.  The book value of these assets prior to the adoption of the
     Disposition Program was $88.9 million of ORE and $30.6 million of
     nonaccrual loans.  A credit loss provision of $4.0 million and additional
     ORE writedowns and expense accruals of $36.5 million and certain charge
     offs in the amount of $12.4 million were recorded during the first quarter
     of 1993 to record the assets at their estimated liquidation values.  The
     Bank signed a definitive agreement to sell, as of November 1, 1993, all six
     asset pools in the Disposition Program.  The sale of the loans contained in
     the Disposition Program for $48.3 million closed concurrently with the
     signing of the definitive agreement and a gain of $12.8 million was
     recognized at that time.  During the first and second quarters of 1994, the
     Company completed the sale of the ORE contained in the Disposition Program.
     Gains of $3.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, from the Disposition
     Program were recognized in the first and second quarters of 1994,
     respectively.

3.   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

                                       6

 
     and reported as a net amount after taxes, in a separate component of
     shareholders' equity, until realized.

4.   For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
     cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and securities
     purchased under resale agreements, and do not include items with original
     maturities of over 90 days.

                                       7

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

     The following discussion summarizes some of the developments significant to
City National Corporation during the second quarter of 1994.  However, the
Company's consolidated financial statements for the quarter and the entire
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations included in this Quarterly Report should be reviewed for a more
complete understanding of the Company's financial position and its results of
operations.

     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.

     The Company recorded consolidated net income of $8.2 million, or $.18 per
share, in the second quarter of 1994, compared to a net income of $10.9 million,
or $.30 per share, in the second quarter of 1993, and net income of $8.7
million, or $.19 per share, in the first quarter of 1994.  Most of the change
between second quarters resulted from one-time gains in the second quarter of
1993 of $4.5 million ($3.0 million after taxes) from the sale of certain Equity
Lines of Credit (ELCs) and a $7.1 million net gain from sale of the Bank's data
processing division, City National Information Systems (CNIS), whereas no one-
time gains occurred in the second quarter of 1994.  Partially offsetting the
one-time gains in 1993 was an increase in net interest income in the second
quarter of 1994 of $5.0 million, a decrease in the provision for credit losses
of $4.5 million and a decrease in non-interest expense of $3.5 million.

     Returns on average assets for the second quarter and the first half of 1994
were 1.16% and 1.20%, respectively.  Returns on average equity for the second
quarter and the first half of 1994 were 10.67% and 11.15%, respectively.

     The allowance for credit losses at June 30, 1994 was $105.4 million, or
7.07% of loans outstanding, compared to 7.31% at March 31, 1994 and 7.34% at
June 30, 1993.  Net charge offs totaled $9.1 million in the second quarter of
1994, or 2.43% of average loans, down from $12.0 million, or 2.75% of average
loans, in the second quarter of 1993, but more than

                                       8

 
the $2.0 million, or .51% of average loans, in the first quarter of 1994.
Management does not believe that the increase in the level of net charge offs
from the first quarter resulted from any underlying trend in credit quality.  
Based on its review of the loan portfolio, management anticipates that net
charge offs and provisions for credit losses for 1994 will decrease from 1993
levels.

     Nonaccrual loans totaled $60.7 million at June 30, 1994, or 4.1% of total
loans, down from $65.1 million, or 4.3% of total loans, at March 31, 1994, and
$105.0 million, or 6.2% of total loans, a year earlier.  ORE totaled $7.6
million at June 30, 1994, up from $3.7 million at March 31, 1994 but down from
$9.6 million at June 30, 1993.  The reduction in nonaccrual loans between second
quarters was principally attributable to payments, restoration of loans to
accrual status and charge offs.

     In April 1994, the Bank implemented a consolidation plan to improve
efficiency and operational productivity in its branch network.  The streamlining
reduced the Bank's total number of branches from 22 to 16, while designating
four of the remaining locations as regional commercial lending centers.  In
addition to providing a full array of regular banking services, the centers
house teams of lenders specializing in serving mid-size businesses, as well as
the Bank's larger, more complex relationships.  The consolidation plan is
expected to result in an expense savings of approximately $8.0 million per year,
before the effect of inflation and other factors.  However, this will be
partially offset by decreased income resulting from reductions in loans and
deposits caused by the consolidation.  See "Consolidation Charge Reserve,"
below.

     On January 17, 1994 and during the days thereafter, Los Angeles was struck
by a series of strong earthquakes.  Based on the information currently
available, the Bank does not believe that earthquake-related losses, including
those related to its facilities, will be material to the Bank's financial
position.

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Taxable equivalent net interest income was $35.7 million in the second
quarter of 1994, up 16.1% from the year-ago quarter.  The increase resulted
primarily from a $118.8 million (4.8%) increase in average interest earning
assets for the second quarter from the year ago quarter and an increase in the
net interest spread from 4.20% to 4.61%.  The net

                                       9

 
interest spread improved because the increases in the prime interest rates
during the quarter resulted in higher yields on loans, while rates paid on
interest bearing liabilities decreased slightly between quarters.  The net
interest margin increased from 4.98% in 1993 to 5.52% in 1994.

     Net interest income was $67.9 million on a fully-taxable equivalent basis
in the first half of 1994, up 6.6% from the year-ago period.  This increase was
due to the increase in the net interest spread from 4.20% to 4.42% caused mainly
by decreases in rates paid on interest bearing liabilities and a $26.5 million
(1.0%) increase in average interest earning assets.

     Management expects interest earning assets to increase slightly from the
$2.594 billion average level for the second quarter of 1994, primarily due to
increased purchases of securities.  The increases in interest earning assets and
the recent increases in the prime interest rate, if sustained, are expected to
result in higher net interest income for the remainder of 1994, as compared to
the first half of 1994.

     Average loans declined $254.7 million (14.5%) between second quarters to
$1.497 billion at June 30, 1994.  The majority of this decrease reflected lower
average commercial loans outstanding, down $161.6 million (15.8%).  This decline
resulted from decreased loan demand because of continued economic weakness in
Southern California.  Average construction loans decreased $71.0 million (83.8%)
from the second quarter of 1993, primarily as a continuing result of the Bank's
significant cutback in new construction loan commitments, beginning in late 1990
and the transfer of certain construction loans to the real estate mortgage
category after completion of construction.

     Average loans for the first half of 1994 declined $332.0 million, or 17.8%,
from the first half of 1993.  Of this decrease, $185.8 million, $77.5 million
and $54.5 million were from commercial, real estate construction and real estate
mortgage loans, respectively.

     Average taxable securities increased $518.0 million (140.1%) between second
quarters and $445.1 million, or 115.4%, between first halves, as a result of the
investment of the Bank's excess liquidity in government, agency and mortgage
backed securities during the last twelve months.

     Average federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements
decreased $130.7 million (43.2%) between second quarters and $68.7 million
(26.6%)

                                       10

 
between first halves.  These decreases resulted from the Bank's decision to
invest more of its liquidity in taxable securities offering higher yields.

     Total deposits decreased $58.4 million (2.5%) between second quarters and
$105.3 million (4.4%) between first halves, due primarily to decreases of $56.3
million (27.5%) in average time deposits of $100,000 and over between second
quarters and $67.2 million (30.5%) between first halves.  Average non-interest
bearing deposits increased $18.9 million (2.2%) between second quarters, but
declined $.8 million (.1%) between first halves.  Total average interest bearing
core deposits declined $21.0 million (1.7%) between second quarters and $37.3
million (3.0%) between first halves.

     Average federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase
agreements decreased $19.0 million (7.9%) between second quarters and $93.8
million (30.8%) between first halves, due to the Company's improved liquidity.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

     The provision for credit losses was $3.0 million in each of the first and
second quarters of 1994, compared to $11.5 million, $7.5 million, $5.5 million
and $5.5 million for the first quarters through fourth quarters of 1993.  The
provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 1993 included $4.0 million
resulting from the Bank's Disposition Program (see "Accelerated Asset
Disposition Program," below).  Loans charged off in the second quarter of 1994
were $17.4 million, compared to $17.2 million in the second quarter of 1993 and
$8.9 million in the first quarter of 1994.  Management does not believe that the
increase in the level of charge offs from the first quarter resulted from any
underlying trend in credit quality.  Recoveries were $8.3 million in the second
quarter of 1994, compared to $5.2 million in the second quarter of 1993 and $6.9
million in the first quarter of 1994.

     The provision for credit losses charged to operations reflects management's
judgment of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, and is determined
through periodic analysis of the loan portfolio.  This analysis includes a
detailed review of the classification and categorization of problem and
potential problem loans and loans to be charged off; an assessment of the
overall quality and collectability of the portfolio; and consideration of the
loan loss experience, trends in problem loans and concentrations of credit risk,
as well as current and expected future economic conditions, particularly in
Southern California.  The Bank has an internal risk analysis and review staff
that reports to the Board of Directors and continuously reviews loan quality.
Such reviews also assist management in establishing the level of the allowance
for credit losses.

     Unless there is significant deterioration in economic conditions,
management anticipates, based on its review of the loan portfolio, that net
charge offs and provisions for credit losses for 1994 will continue to decrease
from 1993 levels.  However, no assurance can be given that the Bank will not in
any particular period sustain credit losses that are sizable in relation to the
allowance for credit losses, or that subsequent evaluations of the loan
portfolio, in light of the factors then prevailing, including economic
conditions and further declines in property values, will not require significant
increases in the allowance for credit losses.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

     Non-interest income for the second quarter of 1994 totaled $8.9 million,
down $5.7 million (39.0%) from a year earlier.  Non-interest income for the
first half of 1994 was $19.2 million, a decrease of $7.0 million (26.8%) from
the first half of 1993.  Service charges on deposit accounts decreased slightly,
$.3 million (10.9%) and $.2 million (4.2%), respectively, for the quarter and
six months ended June 30, 1994.  Due to the effect of recent increases in
interest rates utilized for purposes of account analysis, future service charge
income on deposit accounts may be less than second quarter 1994 levels.  Trust
fees decreased $.1 million (5.3%) and $.3 million (8.2%) for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1994 due to lower volumes.  Other income in 1994 included
a pre-tax gain of $1.3 million from the sale of two leveraged leases in the
first quarter, while other income in 1993 included $1.9 million from sale of the
Bank's merchant credit card business in the first quarter and $4.5 million from
the Bank's sale of $73.7 million in ELC loans in the second quarter.  All other
income decreased $.9 million (22.1%) and $1.3 million (17.8%) for the quarter
and six months ended June 30, 1994, because of lower escrow, foreign exchange,
letter of credit and proof of deposit fees.  Management does not expect a
significant increase in non-interest income from second quarter 1994 levels
during the remainder of 1994.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

     Excluding net ORE results, non-interest expense totaled $29.4 million in
the second quarter of 1994, a decrease of $2.8 million (8.7%) from the second
quarter of 1993, and $60.0 million for the first half of 1994, a decrease of
$4.6 million (7.1%) from the first half of 1993.  Salaries and other employee
benefits decreased $2.0 million (11.3%) and $3.7 million (10.1%) for the quarter
and six months ended June 30, 1994, respectively, from comparable periods in
1993.  This decrease was due primarily to decreases in full-time equivalent
staff levels, which have declined from approximately 1,650 at December 31, 1992
to 1,220 at June 30, 1994.

     The remaining expense categories other than staff decreased $.8 million
(5.5%) and $.9 million (3.3%) for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1994, respectively, from the comparable periods in 1993.  These decreases
resulted from the continued realization of savings from the Company's expense
management efforts and from the implementation

                                       16

 
of the branch consolidation program.  See "Consolidation Charge Reserve," below.
The increases in promotion expenses resulted from the Company's increased
advertising program.  The increases in professional expenses were due to higher
legal fees for defense and collection matters.

     Net ORE result in the second quarter of 1994 was a credit of $.8 million,
resulting primarily from the completion of the Disposition Program, compared to
a credit of $.1 million in the prior year.  For the first half of 1994, net ORE
result was a credit of $5.3 million, of which $4.2 million represented gains on
the sale of assets in the Disposition Program, compared to expense of $40.3
million in the first half of 1993, $36.5 million of which resulted from the
initiation of the Disposition Program in March 1993.

INCOME TAXES

     The second quarter 1994 effective tax rate was 35.1%, compared to 29.1% for
the second quarter of 1993.  The effective tax expense (benefit) rates for the
first half of 1994 and 1993 were 34.7% and (36.6%), respectively.  The effective
rates differed from the statutory federal tax rates of 34% for 1993 and 35% for
1994 due primarily to tax exempt income and, in 1994, due also to the California
alternative minimum tax.

     As a result of the Company's net operating loss carry-forwards, no regular
California franchise tax provision was recorded in 1994, nor was any benefit
taken in 1993.  At June 30, 1994, the Company had a California net operating
loss carry-forward of $14.3 million, of which $3.5 million will expire in 1997
and $10.8 million will expire in 1998.

     At June 30, 1994, the Company had unrecognized California tax benefits of
$13.5 million.  Realization of the tax benefits of the Company's deductible
California temporary differences and California operating loss and tax credit
carry-forwards depends on having sufficient taxable income within the applicable
carry-forward periods.  Recognition of deferred tax assets is permitted when it
is more likely than not that the tax benefits will be realized.  Depending on
the Company's level of future profitability and the timings of the reversals of
temporary differences, some or all of the Company's unrecognized California tax
benefits may be recognized in the second half of 1994.

(1) Commercial and financial loans include unsecured loans to real estate
developers and customers involved in real estate investments and commercial
loans where real estate partially secures the borrowing.
(2) Does not include first mortgages on residential properties.

          Gross loans at June 30, 1994 amounted to $1,490 million, down $200
million (11.8%) from June 30, 1993.  The decrease in loans resulted from
decreased loan demand because of continued economic weakness in Southern
California.  Commercial loans continue to constitute the major portion of the
Bank's lending activity, 58.3% at June 30, 1994 and 58.6% at June 30, 1993.
Real estate construction loans decreased $67.8 million, or 82.3%, between June
30, 1993 and June 30, 1994, because new construction lending was curtailed
beginning in late 1990, and certain construction loans were transferred to the
real estate mortgage category after completion of construction.  Real estate
mortgage loans decreased $32.3 million, or 5.7%, between June 30, 1993 and 1994,
due to paydowns.  However, residential first mortgage loans increased $35.5
million between June 30, 1993 and 1994, as a result of the Bank's entry into
residential first mortgage lending in late 1993 and purchases of residential
mortgages originated by third parties.

          Substantially all of the Bank's loans are in Southern California.  At
June 30, 1994, real estate construction and mortgage loans constituted 36.5% of
the Bank's loan portfolio.  No other industry comprised 10% or more of the
portfolio.

          The additional interest income that would have been recorded from
nonaccrual loans (including restructured loans on nonaccrual status), if the
loans had not been on nonaccrual status, was $1.6 million and $2.6 million for
the quarters and $2.0 million and $5.8 million for the six-month periods ended
June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Interest payments received on nonaccrual
loans are generally applied to principal, unless there is no doubt as to the
ultimate full repayment of principal, in which case the interest payment is
recognized as interest income.  Interest income included $.8 million and $.5
million for the quarters and $2.1 million and $1.1 million for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively, from the collection of
interest related to nonaccrual loans, including loans paid off during the
quarter.  Interest income not recognized on nonaccrual loans reduced the net
interest margin by 25 and 44 basis points for the quarters and 16 and 46 basis
points for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Potential Problem Loans

          At June 30, 1994, in addition to loans disclosed above as past due,
nonaccrual or restructured, management had also identified $32 million of loans
about which it had serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply
with the present loan payment terms in the future.  This amount was determined
based on analysis of information known to management about the borrower's
financial condition and current and expected economic conditions.  If economic
conditions change, or if additional information relating to borrowers' financial
condition come to light, then the amount of such potential problem loans may
change significantly.  Currently estimated potential losses from these potential
problem loans have been considered in determining the adequacy of the allowance
for credit losses.

(1) Credit loss allowance allocated to $73.7 million of equity line of credit
loans sold in April 1993.

          The allowance for credit losses decreased from $124.1 million at June
30, 1993 to $105.4 million at June 30, 1994, primarily due to net charge offs in
excess of provisions for credit losses during the twelve months ended June 30,
1994.

          At June 30, 1994, the allowance for credit losses was 7.07% of gross
loans, compared to 7.34% at June 30, 1993.  The allowance at June 30, 1994 was
equal to 173.6% of total nonaccrual loans, as compared to 118.1% at June 30,
1993.

          Management believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," upon its January 1, 1995, effective date
will not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or
shareholders' equity.

          The Company has the ability and management has the intent to hold its
investment securities until maturity.

          Due to the rise in interest rates in 1994, the market value of the
Company's investment securities portfolio is $23.4 million (3.3%) lower than its
carrying value.  Under SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities," unrealized gains or losses on investment securities do
not affect shareholders' equity until realized.

SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE

          Securities available for sale amounted to $222.5 million at market
(cost of $227.4 million) at June 30, 1994, compared to $2.0 million (both cost
and market) at December 31, 1993 and $18.7 million (market value $19.1 million)
at June 30, 1993.  Because of its excess liquidity and in order to provide
flexibility with respect to future loan funding, the Company has designated
certain securities purchased during the first six months of 1994 as securities
available for sale.

DEFERRED TAX ASSETS

          Deferred tax assets amounted to $22.6 million at June 30, 1994 and
$30.3 million at June 30, 1993.  These deferred tax assets were primarily due to
the inability of the Bank to

                                       24

 
take loan loss deductions for income tax purposes with respect to anticipated
loan losses for which an allowance had been established on its financial
accounting records.  It is more likely than not that the reversing deductible
temporary differences, net of the recorded valuation allowances, at June 30,
1994 will be realized by the availability of reversing taxable temporary
differences, recovery of taxes paid in applicable carry-back years, and
projected taxable income for the next year.

ASSETS HELD FOR ACCELERATED DISPOSITION

          In March 1993, the Bank adopted an Accelerated Asset Disposition
Program (the "Disposition Program") to aggressively dispose of ORE and certain
problem loans with an aggregate book value before the Disposition Program of
$119.5 million.  The Bank signed a definitive agreement to sell, as of November
1, 1993, all six asset pools in the Disposition Program to WHC-THREE Investors,
L.P. ("WHC-THREE"), a limited partnership.  The sale of the loans contained in
the Disposition Program for $48.3 million closed concurrently with the signing
of the definitive agreement and a gain of $12.8 million was recognized at that
time, net of disposition expenses and reserves.  The sale of most of the
Disposition Program ORE closed in the first quarter of 1994, and a pre-tax gain
of $3.5 million was recognized at that time.

          During the second quarter, the sale of one additional Disposition
Program ORE asset was closed, the Bank cancelled the sale of two assets and
repurchased two other assets to resolve all of the remaining issues regarding
the sale of these assets, and recognized an additional gain of $.7 million.

          The Bank provided 75% financing for the sale of assets in the
Disposition Program at terms comparable with other real estate loans in its
portfolio.  At June 30, 1994, the remaining balance was $53.1 million.  The
terms of the notes require annual pay downs and payment of the remaining
principal in five years, in addition to payments when individual real estate
assets securing the loans are sold or refinanced.

CONSOLIDATION CHARGE RESERVE

          In November 1993, the Bank announced a consolidation plan to improve
efficiency and operational productivity in its branch network.  To cover the
costs associated with this

                                       25

 
action, the Bank recorded a consolidation charge of $12.0 million in the fourth
quarter of 1993, consisting of $7.5 million for the disposition of lease
commitments, $1.5 million for the disposition of fixed assets and $3.0 million
for severance costs and other costs directly related to the consolidation.  At
June 30, 1994, the balance remaining in the consolidation reserve was $9.8
million.  The Bank is continuing to negotiate settlements of lease commitments
and believes the reserve balance at June 30, 1994 is adequate to cover these
lease liabilities and the remaining expenses expected to be incurred as part of
the consolidation program.

Capital Adequacy Requirements

          As of June 30, 1994, the Company had a ratio of Tier 1 capital to
risk-weighted assets (Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio) of 18.44%, a ratio of
total capital to risk weighted assets (total risk-based capital ratio) of
19.75%, and a ratio of Tier 1 capital to average adjusted total assets (Tier 1
leverage ratio) of 11.14%, while the Bank had a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio
of 17.40%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 18.71% and a Tier 1 leverage
ratio of 10.53%.

          Based on the availability of recovery of taxes paid in prior years and
projected taxable income for the next twelve months, there is no limitation on
the amount of recorded deferred tax assets includable in regulatory capital at
June 30, 1994 under OCC guidelines.

LIQUIDITY

          A fundamental aspect of the asset/liability management strategy of the
Company is adequate liquidity -- the ability to meet the requirements of
customers for loans and deposit withdrawals in the most timely and economical
manner.

          For most financial institutions, the most manageable sources of
liquidity are composed of liabilities, especially core deposits.  Average core
deposits increased to 84.4% of total funding in the second quarter of 1994,
compared to 82.0% in the second quarter of 1993.

          Liquidity is also provided by assets such as federal funds sold,
securities purchased under resale agreements and trading account securities
which may be immediately converted into cash at a minimal cost.  Liquidity may
also be provided by maturing investment

                                       26

 
securities.  At June 30, 1994, investment securities maturing within one year
amounted to $100.7 million, and securities available for sale amounted to $222.5
million.  Maturing loans also provide liquidity, and $.8 billion of the Bank's
loans are scheduled to mature in the next twelve months.

          City National Corporation has no outstanding debt obligations and
limited financial requirements.  At June 30, 1994, it had repurchase agreements
with the Bank of $2.7 million and securities of $16.4 million.

          Interest sensitivity is related to liquidity because both are affected
by the interrelationships of maturing assets and liabilities.  Interest rate
sensitivity management, however, is concerned with the timing and magnitude of
repricing assets compared to liabilities.  It is the objective of interest rate-
sensitivity management to control the risks associated with interest rate
movement.

          The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing
within a given time period.  A gap is considered positive when the amount of
interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive
liabilities.  A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate
sensitive liabilities exceeds interest rate sensitive assets.  During a period
of rising interest rates, a negative gap tends to adversely affect net interest
income, while a positive gap tends to result in an increase in net interest
income.  During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap tends to
result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive gap tends to
affect net interest income adversely.

          The following table shows that the Company's positive interest rate
sensitivity gap increased from $813.8 million at June 30, 1993 to $1,040.0
million at June 30, 1994.  This increase was due primarily to a $178.5 million
increase in rate sensitive assets, especially securities.  The Company's highly
asset sensitive position in this period of rising interest rates will have a
positive effect on net interest income.  However, while the interest rate
sensitivity gap is a useful measure and contributes towards effective asset and
liability management, it is difficult to predict the net interest margin based
solely on that measure.

At June 30, 1994 and 1993, the Company's distribution of rate-sensitive assets
and liabilities was as follows:



                                                                        Maturing or repricing in

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

          On April 19, 1994, the Registrant held its annual meeting of
shareholders.  The shareholders elected the 12 directors listed in the
Registrant's proxy statement.  The following table sets forth the number of
votes cast for or withheld with respect to each director.  Under applicable
Delaware law, votes withheld have the same effect as votes cast against a
nominee, and for this reason, the ballot did not offer a separate opportunity to
vote against nominees.  No measures other than the election of directors were
voted on, and the election tally consequently does not include any abstentions
or broker non-votes.
