Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits.

           On January 12, 1996, the registrant filed a Current Report on 
Form 8-K to report the acquisition of First Los Angeles Bank ("First LA") on 
December 31, 1995. Pursuant to Item 7(a)(4)(iv) of Form 8-K, financial 
statements of First LA and pro forma combined financial statements of the 
registrant and First LA required by Item 7(a) and (b) are being filed with this
First Amendment.

           (a) Financial statements of businesses acquired.

           Audited consolidated financial statements of First LA, including
consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 1993 and 1994, and consolidated
statements of operations, changes in stockholder's equity and cash flows for the
twelve months ended December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively, appear on pages
A-1 through A-25 of this First Amendment.  In addition, unaudited consolidated
balance sheets of First LA as of October 31, 1994 and 1995, and consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows for the ten months ended October 31,
1994 and 1995, respectively, appear on pages A-26 through A-29 of this First
Amendment.

           (b) Pro forma financial information.

           An unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations of the
registrant and First LA for the year ended December 31, 1995, appears
on pages A-30 through A-32 of this First Amendment. Because the acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase, the December 31, 1995 Consolidated Balance Sheet of
the registrant reflects the assets and liabilities of First LA, and no pro forma
balance sheet is included.

     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
                           FIRST  LOS  ANGELES  BANK
                              December 31, 1994 


[1]        Accounting Policies and 
           Practices

The accounting and reporting policies and practices of First Los Angeles Bank 
(the "Bank") conform to generally accepted accounting principles and practices 
within the banking industry. The more significant accounting policies and 
practices are presented below.

The Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of San Paolo U.S. Holding Company (SPUSH),
which is itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sanpaolo Bank Holding S.p.A.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, FLAB Asset Management Corporation (FLAMCO). All
material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

SECURITIES

The Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115 
effective January 1, 1994. The Statement addresses the accounting and reporting 
for certain investments in debt and equity securities. Under SFAS 115, 
securities are classified as either trading, available for sale, or held to 
maturity, and are accounted for as follows.

        TRADING SECURITIES
        
        Trading securities are valued at their estimated market value. Gains and
        losses resulting from the change in fair market value of trading
        securities are included in noninterest income.

        INVESTMENT SECURITIES

        Investment securities are so classified because the Bank has the ability
        and management has the positive intent to hold them to maturity. Such
        investment securities are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of
        premiums and accretion of discounts, which are recognized as adjustments
        to income using a method that approximates the effective interest
        method.

        AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES

        Securities that are not specifically designated as trading or
        investment are classified as available-for-sale. Securities available-
        for-sale are carried at market value. Net aggregate unrealized gains or
        losses on securities available-for-sale are included as a separate item
        in stockholder's equity until realized. Premiums and discounts are
        recognized as adjustments to income using a method that approximates the
        effective interest method.

        In 1993, prior to the adoption of SFAS 115, it was generally the Bank's 
intent to hold investments to maturity. Accordingly, investment securities were
stated at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premium and accretion of
discount which were recognized on the effective interest method as adjustments
to interest income. Gains and losses on dispositions were based on the net
preceeds and the adjusted carrying amount of the securities sold, using the
specific identification method.

LOANS

Loans are carried at amounts advanced less payments collected. Interest income
on commercial and real estate loans is accrued daily based on the principal
amounts outstanding. Interest on consumer loans is recorded on the level yield
method. The accrual of income on loans is discontinued and previously accrued
interest is reversed when the full collection of principal or interest is in
doubt or when the payment of principal or interest has become contractually 90
days past due. Subsequent cash payments received are applied to the principal
balance or recorded as interest income, depending on management's assessment of
the ultimate collectibility of the loan. If cash payments received relate to a
loan previously charged off in whole or in part, payments not applied to the
remaining principal balance are recorded as recoveries.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Allowance for loan losses (the Allowance) is established by a charge to 
income as a provision for loan losses. Actual loan losses or recoveries are 
charged or credited directly to this Allowance. The Allowance is based on 
management's estimate of the amounts required to maintain an allowance adequate 
to reflect losses inherent in the loan portfolio; however ultimate losses may 
vary from current estimates. The estimates are reviewed periodically and 
adjustments are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known. 
Management determines the adequacy of the Allowance based on a continuing review
of individual loans, recent loss experience, current



                                      A-5



 
economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the various categories of 
loans, and other pertinent factors.

RECOGNITION OF LOAN ORIGINATION
FEES AND COSTS

Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs 
are deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's
yield over the contractual life of the related loan. If a commitment expires 
unexercised, the commitment fee is recognized as income.

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

Other real estate owned ("OREO") is composed both of formally foreclosed 
property and in-substance foreclosed property to which the Bank does not have, 
but anticipates that it will eventually foreclose on and receive, legal title. 
These assets are transferred from the loan portfolio to OREO at fair value. 
Subsequent to foreclosure the assets are carried at the lower of the new cost 
basis established at foreclosure or fair market value less estimated selling 
costs. The excess carrying value, if any, of the loan over the estimated fair 
value less estimated selling costs at the time of foreclosure is charged to the 
Allowance. Subsequent writedowns due to further declines in fair market value 
are charged to Other real estate owned expense, Gains and losses from sales of 
OREO and net operating expenses are recorded in operations and included in Other
real estate owned expense. Depreciation expense is not recorded on OREO.

BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Bank premises and equipment, which consist of furniture, fixtures, equipment and
leasehold improvements, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation of
$12,829,000 at December 31, 1994, computed on the straight-line method over the
lesser of estimated useful lives ranging primarily from three to ten years or
the remaining lease term. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to
expense as incurred, and expenditures that improve or extend the service lives
of assets are capitalized.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax 
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement 
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax 
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary 
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are 
established against deferred tax assets to the extent that assets are not 
considered more likely than not realizable through future taxable income.

The Bank and SPUSH file consolidated federal and combined state income tax
returns. Pursuant to the Bank's tax-sharing agreement with SPUSH, the net cost
or benefit resulting from determining the Bank's tax liability on a separate tax
return basis is recorded as income tax expense or benefit by the Bank.

COMMON STOCK

Based on the provisions of the General Corporation Law, the Bank changed its 
stock to no par value, except for purposes of recording stock dividends and 
reporting to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), where, pursuant
to the Financial Code, the par value of the Bank's common stock is $2.00 per 
share at December 31, 1994.

CASH FLOWS

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on
hand, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds 
are purchased and sold for one-day periods, except for term federal funds.

INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES

Amounts receivable or payable under derivative financial instruments used to 
manage interest rate risks arising from the Bank's financial assets and 
financial liabilities are recognized as interest income or expense unless the 
instrument qualifies for hedge accounting. Gains and losses on qualifying hedges
of existing assets or liabilities are included in the carrying amount of those 
assets or liabilities and are ultimately recognized in income as part of those 
carrying amounts. Derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge
accounting are recorded at fair market value. Gains and losses on early 
terminations of derivatives are included in the carrying amount of the related 
loans or debt and amortized as yield adjustments over the remaining terms of the
loans or debt.

OFF-BALANCE-SHEET
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance-sheet 
financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, commitments 
under credit card arrangements, and standby letters of credit. Such financial


                                      A-6

 
instuments are recorded in the consolidated financial statments when they 
utilized and become actual assets and liabilities.

[2]      Securities

As discussed in Note 1, the Bank adopted SFAS 115 on January 1, 1994. On that 
date, securities with an amortized cost of $90,199,000 and fair market value of
$89,865,000 were reclassified as available-for-sale.

At December 31, 1994, available-for-sale securities consisted entirely of 
securities issued by United States Government agencies and corporations. There 
are no unrealized gains in the available-for-sale securities portfolio. The 
unrealized losses of $4,454,000 has been included as a reduction of 
stockholder's equity. The bank has not recorded any income tax benefit 
relating to the unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities. See Note 7
for a discussion of deferred tax benefits.

The following table presents the estimated unrealized gains and losses on 
held-to-maturity securities by major classes of securities.

At December 31, 1994, the Bank's mortgage-backed securities, collaterized 
mortgage obligations and SBA Pool portfolios had weighted average maturities of 
3.5,9.5, and 12.7 years, respectively. Actual maturities can be expected to 
differ from scheduled and weighted average maturities due to prepayments of 
underlying debt instruments or early call privileges of the issuer.

Proceeds from sales of securities were $70,545,000 for the year ending December
31, 1994. A gain of $35,000 was realized from those sales in 1994. All sales
were from securities classified available-for-sale. The Bank calculates the book
value of its securities using the specific identification method when
determining the gain or loss from sales of securities.

Securities carried at approximately $93,670,000 at December 31, 1994 were
pledged to secure trust funds and public deposits as required by law.

Loans at December 31 are summarized by major category as follows:

Many of the loans in the commercial loan category above are secured by real 
estate collateral. The ability of borrowers to repay these loans is tied to the 
value of the underlying real estate collateral.

Most of the Bank's lending activity has been limited to its immediate service
area, resulting in a natural concentration of loans secured by real estate in
western Los Angeles County. Weaknesses in the Southern California economy in
general and, more specifically, in western Los Angeles County have negatively 
impacted the ability of the Bank's customers to honor their loan agreements.
These trends have negatively impacted the Bank's recent results of operations 
through increases in nonaccrual loans and significant provisions for loan 
losses. Management believes the Allowance is adequate at December 31, 1994, to 
cover inherent losses in the loan portfolio. Ultimate losses may be different 
from those provided for. Additional losses, if any, will be recognized in the 
periods in which they occur.

Loans where the accrual of interest income has been discontinued and placed on 
nonaccrual status at December 31 are as follows:

 
 
                                               1994

                                           ===========
As a percent of total loans, net                  6.4%
                                           ===========
Interest income that would have 
been recorded had the nonaccrual
loans performed in accordance 
with original terms                        $ 2,344,000
                                           ===========
 

The nonaccrual loans are net of partial charge-offs of $4,695,000 
at December 31, 1994.

As of December 31, 1994, $3,019,000 of loans were classified as restructured 
loans in accordance with SFAS No. 15, "Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for 
Troubled Debt Restructurings."

There were no related party loans outstanding during 1994.

In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." In addition, in
October, 1994, the FASB issued SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures," which amended certain
sections of SFAS No. 114. Statements 114 and 118, which are effective for 
periods beginning after December 15, 1994, require that impaired loans that are
within the scope of the Statement be measured based on the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or,
as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair
value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Management does not
believe that the implementation of these Statements will have a material impact
on the Bank's financial condition and results of operations.

Other real estate owned at December 31 consists of the following:

During 1994, the Bank sold certain OREO and loans totaling $30,251,000 at fair 
value to San Paolo Asset Management Company, an affiliate of SPUSH. During 
1993, the Bank sold loans classified as in-substance foreclosures totaling 
$18,031,000 at fair value to SPUSH. No gain or loss was recognized from either 
of these transactions, as the sold assets had been written down to fair values 
on the books of the Bank prior to the sale.

OREO expense for the year ended December 31 consists of the following:

certificates amounted to $7,045,000 for 1994. Also included in noninterest
expense is $4,707,000 of expense paid to third parties on behalf of customers in
1994.

[7]  Income Taxes

Income tax provision (benefit) consists of the following components:

                               ===========      ============    =============

 

The provision (benefit) for income taxes differs from the amounts computed by
applying the assumed federal income tax rate of 34% to loss before income taxes
for the year ended December 31, 1994, because of state income taxes, the
increase in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and the impact of
tax-exempt income and non-deductible expenses.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions 
of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 1994 
are as follows:

                                                 =========== 
 

The total net deferred tax account of $3,871,000 in 1994 is included in
Accrued Interest Receivable and Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 1994 was
$24,289,000. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred
tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the
periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management
considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future
taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based
upon the level of historical taxable income and projections of future taxable
income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management
believes it is more likely than not the Bank will realize the benefits of these
deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowance at December 31,
1994.

At December 31, 1994, the Bank had net operating loss carryforwards for federal 
income tax purposes of $26,548,000 that are available to offset future federal 
taxable income. $5,556,000 of these federal net operating losses expire in full 
in 1998, and $20,981,000, of these federal net operating losses expire in full 
in 2009. The Bank has net operating loss carryforwards for California franchise 
tax purposes of $19,571,000. $7,858,000 of this amount expires in 1997, 
$6,916,000 expires in 1998, and $4,797,000 expires in 1999.

The State of California follows the unitary method of taxation. Under this 
method, the income of all unitary entities which have greater than 50% common 
ownership is combined and apportioned to California taxpayers based on 
certain formulas. Since its inception, the Bank has provided California state 
taxes on a separate company basis. The California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) is 
currently auditing the California tax returns of the Bank for the years 1983 
through 1985. If the FTB were to deem that the Bank is unitary with Sanpaolo 
Bank Holding S.p.A., the Bank could be assessed additional state taxes. The 
Bank, however, will be reimbursed for any additional state taxes ultimately paid
by SPUSH under their tax-sharing agreement and as a result no additional state 
taxes are recorded in these financial statements.

                                      A-10

 
[8]  Profit Sharing and Employee Incentive Investment Plan

The Bank established a profit-sharing and employee incentive/investment plan for
employees who meet certain age and service requirements specified in the plan. 
The Bank's contribution to the plan, as determined by the Board of Directors, is
discretionary. No discretionary contributions were made to the plan in 1994 or 
1993.

[9]  Related Party Transactions

The Bank is involved in various transactions with its stockholder and companies 
affiliated with its stockholder. During 1994, the Bank borrowed funds from 
related parties in the form of term federal funds purchased, repurchase 
agreements, and certificates of deposit. At December 31, 1994, such borrowings 
consisted entirely of term federal funds purchased totaling $50,000,000. During 
1994, the Bank incurred $763,000 of interest expense on these related party 
borrowings. The terms of these related party borrowings do not differ 
significantly from the terms of borrowings from unrelated third parties.

As discussed in Note 5, in 1994, the Bank sold certain nonperforming loans and
OREO to related parties at their book value.

The Bank had issued irrevocable letters of credit to related parties totaling 
$744,500 at December 31, 1994.

[10] Commitments and Contingencies

The Bank is a defendant in various lawsuits arising from the normal course of 
business. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of the pending 
litigation will not have a material effect on the Bank's financial position or 
results of operations.

The Bank occupies land and premises under lease agreements with initial lease 
terms expiring at various dates through 2006. Certain of these leases are 
subject to renewal at the then-prevailing rental rate for periods of up to 15 
years. The aggregate minimum commitments under these noncancelable operating 
leases are as follows:

 
                                     
1995                                   $ 4,111,000

                                       ===========
 

[11]  Off Balance Sheet Risks and Derivative Financial Instruments

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
form of unfunded loan commitments, standby letters of credit and an interest
rate swap. These financial instruments, while not recorded as assets and
liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, expose the Bank to a risk of
loss. This risk takes two forms: credit risk, the risk that the Bank is
committed to advance funds to borrowers who will not be able to repay those
amounts; and interest rate risk, the risk that interest rates will fluctuate
between the time that the Bank has contracted and fixed the terms for these
agreements and the time the Bank actually transacts them.

The Bank uses the same underwriting criteria when entering into 
off-balance-sheet financial instruments with credit risk as when it makes other 
lending decisions, including obtaining collateral when deemed appropriate.

Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet credit risk at December 31 are as 
follows:
 
 
 
                                                  1994    
- ----------------------------------------------------------
                                                    
Unfunded loan commitments                     $107,684,000
Standby letters of credit                       10,188,000
                                              ------------
                                              $117,872,000
                                              ============
 

                                     A-11

 
The majority of loan commitments have terms up to one year and have variable 
rates of interest. Standby letters of credit generally have terms up to one 
year. Most standby letters of credit expire unused.

Additionally, the Bank has entered into one transaction that involves only 
off-balance-sheet interest rate risk. This transaction involves an interest rate
swap agreement with a notional principal amount of $10,000,000 whereby the Bank 
has exchanged its obligation on floating rate deposits for a fixed-rate 
obligation. This transaction resulted in the Bank making net cash payments 
totaling $645,000 in 1994. Starting in 1994, the Bank is accounting for this 
transaction on a mark-to-market basis. An accrued liability of $217,000 has been
recorded in the Bank's financial statements as of December 31, 1994, 
representing the estimated fair market value of the Bank's remaining obligation 
under this contract. This agreement will expire in 1996.

[12] Fair Value of Financial
     Instruments

SFAS No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires 
disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments. The majority of the 
Bank's assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments. The fair 
values estimated are dependent on subjective assumptions and involve significant
uncertainties resulting in estimates that vary with changes in assumptions. Any 
change in assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on 
the estimated fair values disclosed. In addition, the tax ramifications related 
to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant 
effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in these estimates. 
The fair values have been estimated as of December 31, 1994, and the amounts 
that will be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the instruments 
could be significantly different from these estimates. Additionally, due to the 
wide range of permitted valuation techniques, the results may not be comparable
between financial institutions. In addition, these fair values do not represent 
the fair value of the Bank as an entity. Furthermore, management does not 
presently intend to sell these assets.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of 
each class of the Bank's financial instruments for which it is practicable to 
estimate value:

CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS AND
FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD

The fair value for Cash and Due From Banks and Federal Funds Sold is estimated 
to be book value, due to the short maturity of, and negligible credit concerns 
within, those instruments.

TRADING ACCOUNT SECURITIES AND 
INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The fair value of marketable securities is based on quoted market prices, 
dealers quotes, and prices obtained from independent pricing services.

LOANS

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial 
characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, real estate, 
and consumer, and are further segmented for fixed and adjustable rate interest 
terms.

Loans that are subject to repricing in the short term are valued for fair value 
purposes by using the carrying amount for such loans. For other loans, fair 
value is estimated by discounting scheduled cash flows through estimated 
maturity using a discount rate equal to the rate that the Bank was offering to 
make such loans at the reporting date. The balances determined using this 
methodology have been reduced by the allowance for loan losses as an estimate of
the reduction from fair value attributable to credit risk.

DEPOSIT LIABILITIES

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing 
demand deposits, savings and NOW accounts, and money market and checking 
accounts, is estimated to equal the amount payable on demand as of December 31, 
1994. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the estimated 
discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using
the rates offered for such deposits on the reporting date.

SECURITIES SOLD UNDER
AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE

Book value is reflective of fair value due to the short maturity of, and 
negligible credit concerns with those instruments.



                                     A-12


 
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of the Bank's interest rate swap reflects the estimated amount 
that the Bank would pay to terminate the contract at December 31, 1994. The fair
value of the Bank's commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit 
is estimated based on terms currently offered for similar agreements and 
approximates their carrying value.

At December 31, 1994, the Bank's estimated fair values of financial instruments 
based on disclosed assumptions are as follows:

 
 
                                   1994

[13]    Regulatory Matters

The Board of Directors of the Bank has agreed to take certain actions as a 
result of a 1994 regulatory examination by the FDIC and the California State 
Banking Department, as documented by written Consent Agreements (the Consent 
Agreements). The most significant provisions of the Consent Agreements require 
the Bank to do the following: 
  
     . Have and retain qualified management
 
     . Maintain Tier 1 capital equal to or greater than 7.0%

     . Reduce classified assets to specified levels by certain deadlines

     . Maintain an adequate Allowance for Loan Losses
 
     . Develop a plan to control overhead expenses and return the Bank to
       profitable operations, and develop a comprehensive liquidity and funds
       management policy

     . Periodically report these compliance matters to the FDIC and the State 
       Banking Department

The Board of Directors and management of the Bank have taken various actions,
which included among other things, the reduction of problem assets through sales
of foreclosed real estate to both third parties and related parties,
restructuring operations to reduce personnel expense and strengthening key areas
of senior management, to improve the condition of the Bank and to comply with
the terms outlined in the Consent Agreements. Additionally, the Bank's parent
has made significant capital infusions. While many of the deadlines for meeting
the various requirements have not yet occurred, the Bank has already complied
with numerous provisions in the Consent Agreements and management believes that
the Bank is currently in substantial compliance with the terms of the Consent
Agreements. At December 31, 1994, the Bank's Tier 1 Capital ratio was 7.53%. The
Bank plans to continue to work closely with its federal and state regulators in
order to meet the terms of the Consent Agreements and to maintain compliance
with such terms. The continued ability of the Bank to meet and maintain
compliance with these requirements will be dependent in part upon the impact of
current and future economic conditions on its customers, its ability to operate
on a profitable basis in the future, and, if necessary the continued capital
support of its parent.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
             ---------------------------------------------------
                            FIRST LOS ANGELES BANK
  
     TO THE STOCKHOLDER AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF FIRST LOS ANGELES BANK:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of First Los Angeles
Bank (a wholly owned subsidiary of San Paolo U.S. Holding Company) and
subsidiary as of December 31, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in stockholder's equity and cash flows for the year then
ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Bank's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 13, the Bank is subject to an agreement with its regulatory
authorities which requires it to, among other things, maintain specified levels 
of capital in ratio to its assets. Due to operating losses during the last two 
years, the Bank's parent has contributed additional capital to the Bank to 
enable it to meet its capital requirements. The continued ability of the Bank to
meet and maintain compliance with these requirements will be dependent in part 
upon the impact of current and future economic conditions upon its customers, 
its ability to operate on a profitable basis and, if necessary, the continued 
capital support of its parent.

In addition, as more fully discussed in Note 7, the Bank may be assessed 
additional state tax under the worldwide unitary method of calculation. If such 
taxes are assessed, the Bank, under its tax-sharing arrangement with its parent,
will be reimbursed for all additional taxes due.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statement referred to above present 
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Los Angeles 
Bank and subsidiary as of December 31, 1994, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Bank changed its method 
of accounting for income taxes in 1993 and its method of accounting for 
investment securities in 1994.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            First Los Angeles Bank
                               Decmber 31, 1993


Note 1-Accounting Policies and Practices

The accounting and reporting policies and practices of First Los Angeles Bank
(the "Bank") conform to generally accepted accounting principles and practices
within the banking industry. The more significant accounting policies and
practices are presented below.

The Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of San Paolo U.S. Holding Company, which
is itself a wholly owned subsidiary of SAN PAOLO BANK HOLDING S.p.A.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and its
wholly owned subsidiary, FLAB--Asset Management Corporation. All material 
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Trading Account Securities

Trading Account Securities are valued at their estimated market value. Trading 
account gains and losses are included in Other Income.

Investment Securities

Investment Securities are so classified because the Bank has the ability and 
management has the intent to hold them to maturity. Investment securities are 
stated at cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of 
discounts, which are recognized as adjustments to income using a method that 
approximates the interest method.

Loans

Loans are carried at amounts advanced less payments collected. Interest income
on loans is accrued daily as earned. Generally, the accrual of income on real
estate and commercial loans is discontinued when the full collection of
principal or interest is in doubt or when the payment of principal or interest
has become contractually 90 days past due, unless the obligation is both well
secured and in the process of collection. Nonrefundable loan fees received and
costs incurred during the process of originating loans are deferred and
recognized as income over the loan term as an adjustment to the loan's yield
using a method that approximates the interest method.

Allowance For Loan Losses

Loan losses are charged to the Allowance For Loan Losses (the "Allowance") and
recoveries are credited to it. The Allowance at December 31, 1993 represents 
management's estimate of the allowance considered necessary to provide for loan 
losses. Management determines the adequacy of the Allowance based on a 
continuing review of individual loans, recent loss experience, current economic 
conditions, the risk characteristics of the various categories of loans, and 
other pertinent factors. Additional provisions are made to the Allowance for 
such factors from time to time.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO") is composed both of formally foreclosed 
property and in-substance foreclosed property to which the Bank does not have 
legal title. These assets are transferred from the loan portfolio at fair value.
The excess carrying value, if any, of the loan over the estimated fair value is 
charged to the Allowance For Loan Losses. Estimated selling costs and any 
subsequent declines in value are charged to Other Real Estate Owned Expense and
a valuation allowance is established. Subsequent increases in fair value are 
credited to income and reduce the valuation allowance only to the extent that 
decreases in fair value were recorded through the valuation allowance. Gains and
losses from sales of OREO and net operating expenses are recorded in operations 
and included in Other Real Estate Owned Expense. Depreciation expense is not 
recorded on OREO.

Bank Premises and Equipment

Bank Premises and Equipment, which consist of furniture, fixtures, equipment and
leasehold improvements, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation of 
$11,419,000 at December 31, 1993 computed on the straight-line method over the 
lesser of estimated useful lives ranging primarily from three to ten years and 
the remaining lease term. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to 
expense as incurred, and expenditures that improve or extend the service lives 
of assets are capitalized.

Income Taxes

In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Statement
109 requires a change from the deferred method of accounting for income taxes of
APB Opinion 11 to the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.
Under the asset and liability method of Statement 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date.

Effective January 1, 1993, the Bank adopted Statement 109 and has reported the 
cumulative effect of that change in the method of accounting for income taxes in
the 1993 consolidated statement of operations.

Pursuant to the deferred method under APB Opinion 11, which was applied in 1992 
and prior years, deferred income taxes are recognized for income and expense 
items that are reported in

                                     A-19

 


 

 
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            First Los Angeles Bank
                               December 31, 1993

different years for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes using 
the tax rate applicable for the year of the calculation. Under the deferred 
method, deferred taxes are not adjusted for subsequent changes in tax rates.

The Bank and its parent file consolidated federal and combined state income tax 
returns. Pursuant to the Bank's tax-sharing agreement, the net cost (benefit) 
resulting from determining the liability on a separate return basis is recorded 
as income tax expense (benefit) by the Bank.

Common Stock

Based on the provisions of the General Corporation Law, the Bank changed its 
stock to no par value, except for purposes of recording stock dividends and 
reporting to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), where, 
pursuant to the Financial Code, the par value of the Bank's common stock is 
$2.00 per share at December 31, 1993.

Cash Flows

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on 
hand, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds 
are purchased and sold for one-day periods.

Interest Rate Swaps and Floors

The differential to be paid or received on interest rate swaps and floors 
reduces the impact of changes in net interest rates and is included in net 
interest income over the terms of the agreements.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance-sheet 
financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, commitments 
under credit card arrangements, and standby letters of credit. Such financial 
instruments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when they 
become payable.

Note 2-Securities

Trading Account Securities

The trading account was established in 1992, when $71,498,000 of investment 
securities were transferred to the trading portfolio. No gain or loss was 
recognized as a result of this transfer. The difference between the carrying 
amount and the estimated market value of securities transferred from the 
investment portfolio to the trading account was deferred at the time of transfer
and was recognized as Investment Securities Gains when those securities were 
ultimately sold. At December 31, 1993, the trading securities portfolio contains
U.S. Treasury and Agency Securities.

Investment Securities

Investment securities with an amortized cost of $41,376,000 at December 31, 1993
were pledged as security for public deposits in the amounts of $23,365,000 and 
for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

The amortized cost and estimated market values of investment securities at 
December 31 are as follows:

Proceeds from sales of investment securities were $223,990,000 for the year 
ending December 31, 1993. Gains of $1,819,000 were realized from those sales in 
1993.

In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in 
Debt and Equity Securities." Statement 115, which is effective for fiscal years 
beginning after December 15, 1993, requires that investments in equity 
securities that have readily determinable fair values and all debt securities be
classified in three categories and accounted for as follows:

 . Debt securities that the Bank has a positive intent and ability to hold are
  classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at amortized cost.

 . Debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the
  purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities
  and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in
  earnings.

 . Debt and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity
  securities or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale
  securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses
  excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of shareholder's
  equity.

Management anticipates that when Statement 115 is implemented, substantially all
of the Bank's securities currently classified as investment securities will be 
classified as available-for-sale.

Note 3--Loans

Loans at December 31 are summarized by major category as follows:

                                                 ============

Most of the Bank's lending activity has been limited to its immediate service 
area resulting in a natural concentration of loans secured by real estate in 
western Los Angeles County. Weaknesses in the Southern California economy in 
general and, more specifically, in western Los Angeles County have negatively 
impacted the ability of the Bank's customers to honor their loan agreements. 
These trends have negatively impacted the Bank's recent results of operations 
through increases in nonaccrual loans and the Allowance For Loan Losses.

Loans where the accrual of interest income has been discontinued and placed on 
nonaccrual status at December 31 are as follows:

                                                     1993

The nonaccrual loans are net of aggregate charge-offs of $5,144,000 at
December 31, 1993.

There was no interest receivable on nonaccrual loans at December 31, 1993.

The aggregate dollar amount of related party loans outstanding, which are made 
at market rates of interest, was $0 at December 31, 1993. Loans to related 
parties include loans made to directors and their associates.

In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment 
of a Loan."  Statement 114, which is effective for periods beginning after 
December 15, 1994, requires that impaired loans that are within the scope of the
Statement be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows 
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, 
at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the
loan is collateral-dependent.  Management does not believe that the 
implementation of this Statement will have a material impact on the Bank's 
financial statements.

$100,000 or more was $165,500,000 at December 31, 1993. Interest on such time 
certificates amounted to $7,907,000 for 1993.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES

As discussed in Note 1, the Bank adopted Statement 109 as of January 1, 1993. 
The cumulative effect of this change in accounting for income taxes of $71,000 
is determined as of January 1, 1993, and is reported separately in the

    Total Net Deferred Tax Account              $18,712,000
                                                ===========

The total net deferred tax account of $18,712,000 is included in Accrued 
Interest Receivable and Other Assets in the Statement of Financial Condition.
 
Management believes that the deferred tax asset will be fully realizable during 
the applicable net operating loss carryforward periods. These net operating 
losses resulted primarily from the high level of loan losses that the Bank 
incurred in 1993. Management expects that loan losses incurred by the Bank will 
not continue at the high level that it experienced in 1993, and that it will be 
able to generate sufficient taxable income during the net operating loss 
carryforward period to fully absorb all net operating loss carryforwards.

At December 31, 1993, the Bank has net operating loss carryforwards for federal 
income tax purposes of $5,566,000 that are available to offset future federal 
taxable income. These federal net operating losses expire in full in 1998. The 
Bank has net operating loss carryforwards for California franchise tax purposes 
of $14,774,000. $7,858,000 of this amount expires in 1997 and $6,916,000 expires
in 1998.

The Bank's federal and California state franchise tax returns are currently 
under audit by the respective taxing authorities. Management believes that the 
results of these audits, if any, will not have a material effect on the Bank's 
financial position.

NOTE 8 -- PROFIT-SHARING
AND EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE/
INVESTMENT PLAN
The Bank established a profit-sharing and employee incentive/investment plan 
for employees who meet certain age and service requirements specified in the 
plan.  The Bank's contribution to the plan, as determined by the Board of 
Directors, is discretionary.  The Bank's contribution was $0 in 1993.

NOTE 9 -- COMMITMENTS AND 
CONTINGENCIES
The Bank is a defendant in various lawsuits arising from the normal course of 
business.  Management believes that the ultimate resolution of the pending 
litigation will not have a material effect on the Bank's financial position.

The Bank occupies land and premises under lease agreements with initial lease 
terms expiring at various dates through 2006.  Certain of these leases are 
subject to renewal at the then-prevailing rental rate for periods of up to 15 
years.  The lease for the land on which one of the Bank's facilities is located 
provides for additional rents based on the size of the Bank's demand deposits 
and is subject to cancellation with one year's notice at the option of the 
lessor and upon payment by the lessor of an amount equal to the Bank's remaining
book value for tenant improvements attached to the premises.  The aggregate 
minimum commitments under these non-cancelable operating leases are as follows:

1994                                   $ 3,998,000
1995                                     4,149,000

                                       ===========

NOTE 10 -- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
form of unfunded loan commitments, standby letters of credit and an interest 
rate swap.  These financial instruments, while not recorded as assets and 
liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial condition, expose the
Bank to a risk of loss. This risk takes two forms: credit risk, the risk that
the Bank is committed to advance funds to borrowers who will not be able to
repay those amounts; and interest rate risk, the risk that interest rates will
fluctuate between the time that the Bank has contracted and fixed the terms for
these agreements and the time the Bank actually transacts them.

The Bank uses the same underwriting criteria when entering into 
off-balance-sheet financial instruments with credit risk as when it makes other 
lending decisions, including obtaining collateral when deemed appropriate.

Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet credit risk at December 31 are as 
follows:

                                                   1993  
                                              -------------
Unfunded Loan Commitments                     $113,699,000
Standby Letters of Credit                       16,265,000
                                              ------------
                                              $129,964,000
                                              ============
Additionally, the Bank has entered into one transaction that involves 
off-balance-sheet interest rate and credit risk.  This transaction involves an 
interest rate swap agreement with a notional principal amount of $10,000,000 
whereby the Bank has exchanged its obligation on floating rate deposits for a 
fixed-rate obligation.  Notional principal amounts often are used to express the
volume of these transactions, but the amounts potentially subject to credit risk
are smaller. This agreement will expire in 1995.

NOTE 11 -- FAIR VALUE OF
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of the fair value of
financial instruments. The majority of the Bank's assets and liabilities are
considered financial instruments. The fair values estimated are dependent on
subjective assumptions and involve significant uncertainties resulting in
estimates that vary with changes in assumptions. Any change in assumptions or
estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair values
disclosed. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the
unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value
estimates and have not been considered in these estimates. The fair values have
been estimated as of December 31, 1993, and the amounts that will be realized or
paid at settlement or maturity of the instruments could be significantly
different from these estimates. Additionally, due to the wide range of permitted
valuation techniques, the results may not be comparable between financial
institutions.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of 
each class of the Bank's financial instruments for which it is practicable to 
estimate value:

Cash and Due From Banks and 
Federal Funds Sold

The fair value for Cash and Due From Banks and Federal Funds Sold is estimated 
to be book value, due to the short maturity of, and negligible credit concerns 
within, those instruments.

                               December 31, 1993

Trading Account Securities and
Investment Securities

The fair value of marketable securities is based on quoted market prices, dealer
quotes, and prices obtained from independent pricing services.

Loans

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial 
characteristics.  Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, real estate, 
and consumer, and are further segmented for fixed and adjustable rate interest 
terms.

Loans that are subject to repricing in the short term are valued for fair value
purposes by using the carrying amount for such loans. For other loans, fair
value is estimated by discounting scheduled cash flows through estimated
maturity using a discount rate equal to the rate that the Bank was offering to
make such loans at the reporting date. The balances determined using this
methodology have been reduced by the allowance for loan losses as an estimate of
the reduction from fair value attributable to credit risk.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest-bearing
demand deposits, savings and NOW accounts, and money market and checking 
accounts, is estimated to equal the amount payable on demand as of December 31, 
1993.  The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted 
value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates 
offered for such deposits on the reporting date.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Book Value is reflective of fair value due to the short maturity of, and 
negligible credit concerns within, those instruments.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Bank's interest rate swap was estimated by discounting 
the contractual future cash flows using a current market rate of interest.  The 
fair value of the Bank's commitments to extend credit and standby letters of 
credit is estimated based on terms currently offered for similar agreements and 
approximates their carrying value.

At December 31, 1993, the Bank's estimated fair values of financial instruments 
based on disclosed assumptions are as follows:

                                                        (In thousands)

NOTE 12 - REGULATORY MATTERS

The Board of Directors has agreed to take certain actions as a result of a 1993 
regulatory examination by the FDIC, as documented in a memorandum of 
understanding.  The most significant provisions of the memorandum of 
understanding are as follows:

     . have and retain qualified management

     . maintain Tier 1 capital equal to or greater than 7%

     . reduce classified assets to specified levels by certain deadlines

     . maintain an adequate reserve for loan losses

     . obtain adequate and current documentation for all loans in the Bank's 
       loan portfolio

     . periodically report these compliance matters to the FDIC

At December 31, 1993, the Bank was in compliance with the aforementioned 
requirements with respect to qualified management, capital maintenance, the 
adequacy of its reserve for loan losses, and reporting to the FDIC.  In 1993, 
the Bank hired new personnel, developed new policies, and initiated new 
procedures to strengthen internal controls, including controls over loan 
documentation.  Certain of these measures were not implemented as of year-end.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of First Los Angeles
Bank


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 of such interim periods.  These
unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994.

2.  First Los Angeles Bank, (the Bank) adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (SFAS) No. 115 effective January 1, 1994. Under SFAS 115 securities are
classified as either trading, available for sale, or held to maturity. Because
the Bank has the ability and intent to hold investment securities to maturity,
investment securities are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums
and accretion of discounts. Unrealized gains or losses on securities available
for sale are excluded from earnings and reported as a net amount after taxes, in
a separate component of shareholder's equity, until realized.

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

4. On August 17, 1995, San Paolo U.S. Holding Company, the parent of the Bank,
entered into an agreement to sell the Bank to City National Bank for $85 million
cash, subject to adjustment for certain conditions. The necessary regulatory
approvals were received in November of 1995 and the acquisition was consummated
on December 31, 1995 at the price of $85 million. Concurrent with the close of
the acquisition, the Bank was merged into City National Bank.

               Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements


1.  The pro forma information presented is not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations that would have resulted had the First Los Angeles (First
LA) merger been consummated at the beginning of the period indicated, nor is it
necessarily indicative of the results of operations of future periods. The pro
forma financial statements give effect to the First LA merger as if it had
occurred on January 1, 1995.

On December 31, 1995 City National Bank (the Bank), a wholly owned subsidiary of
City National Corporation (the Corporation),  purchased all the outstanding
stock of First LA, which was immediately merged into the Bank. The business
combination was accounted for as a purchase transaction. Consequently  the
assets and liabilities of First LA were consolidated, at market value,  with
those of the Corporation as of December 31, 1995, but the results of operations
of First LA were not consolidated with those of the Corporation for the year
ended December 31, 1995. Since the December 31, 1995 Consolidated Balance Sheet
of the Corporation reflects the acquisition of First LA, a pro forma balance
sheet at December 31, 1995 is not included.

The pro forma combined statement of operations  does not give effect to any
anticipated cost savings in connection with the First LA acquisition. Cost
savings are expected to be realized through the consolidation of certain
branches, reductions in staff, and the consolidation of data processing and
certain other back-office operations. The extent to which cost savings will be
achieved is dependent upon various factors, some of which are beyond the control
of the Corporation, including economic conditions, the regulatory environment,
unanticipated changes in business conditions and inflation.

2. The Bank purchased all the outstanding stock of First LA for a total
consideration of $85 million. Concurrent with the completion of the acquisition,
First LA sold $71.5 million of loans to its former parent.

3. The pro forma adjustments include purchase accounting adjustments to reflect
the fair value of assets acquired, (including reversals of $17.2 million of
First LA's valuation allowance for deferred tax assets),  and liabilities
assumed, the elimination of First LA's shareholders' equity and the recording of
$12.6 million of core deposit intangibles in accordance with the purchase method
of accounting. The adjustments are based on the information available at
December 31, 1995. After adding the effect of the estimated fair value
adjustments of $15.4 million to the historical net tangible assets of $69.6
million acquired from First LA,  there remained no additional cost in excess of
net assets acquired (goodwill).

                                      A-31

 
Additional pro forma adjustments are included in the statement of operations  to
give  effect to the sale of  loans described in Note 2 above,  as if they had
occurred on January 1, 1995.


4. The City National pro forma weighted average number of  shares outstanding
for the year ended December 31, 1995 are the same as the actual weighted average
shares for that period because the acquisition was paid for entirely in cash.
