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, 1995. 2. Securities held for investment are classified as investment securities. Because the Company has the ability and management has the intent to hold investment securities until maturity, investment securities are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Trading account securities are stated at market value. Investments not classified as trading securities nor as investment securities are classified as securities available for sale and recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains or losses for securities available for sale are excluded from earnings, and reported as a net amount after taxes, in a separate component of shareholders' equity, until realized. 3. 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. Certain prior year data have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. -6- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW City National Corporation (the Corporation) is the holding company for City National Bank (the Bank). Because the Bank constitutes substantially all of the business of the Company, references to the Company in this Item 2 reflect the consolidated activities of the Company and the Bank. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company recorded consolidated net income of $16.0 million, or $.36 per share, in the second quarter of 1996, compared to a net income of $11.6 million, or $.25 per share, in the second quarter of 1995. Most of the change between second quarters resulted from an increase in net interest income in the second quarter of 1996 of $7.6 million. Net income for the first six months of 1996 totaled $31.9 million, or $.71 per share compared with $22.2 million, or $.48 per share in the 1995 period. The six month increase resulted largely from an $18.3 million increase in net interest income and $4.0 million increase in non-interest income, partially offset by a $10.2 million increase in non-interest expense excluding ORE expense. Returns on average assets for both the second quarter and the first half of 1996 was 1.73% compared with 1.70% and 1.65% for the second quarter and first half of 1995. Returns on average equity for the second quarter and the first half of 1996 were 17.90% and 17.64%, respectively, compared with 13.39% and 13.12% in 1995. Taxable equivalent net interest income was $49.4 million in the second quarter of 1996, up 20.7% from the year-ago quarter. The increase resulted from the 35.6% increase in average interest earning assets between quarters. Due to a higher proportion of total funding in the second quarter of 1996 from time deposits of $100,000 and over and wholesale money market sources, the net interest spread decreased from 5.00% to 4.47% and the net interest margin decreased from 6.39% to 5.83%. Management expects modest growth in quarterly net interest income for the remainder of 1996 from first half 1996 levels. The foregoing forward-looking statement assumes, among other things, that interest rate levels will remain relatively constant and is based on the anticipated growth in loans, either of which may cause actual results to differ materially if the -7- assumption proves to have been incorrect. See "Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the 'Safe Harbor' Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995", below. Average loans increased $784.8 million (47.1%) between second quarters to $2,452.1 million at June 30, 1996. The majority of this increase reflected higher average residential first mortgage loans outstanding, up $469.9 million (153.4%). This increase resulted from both the Bank's internal loan generation as well as bulk purchases of residential first mortgage loans. Average construction loans increased $37.0 million (77.9%) from the second quarter of 1995, primarily as a result of the Bank's increased efforts in generating new construction loan commitments. Average commercial and real estate mortgage loans increased $220.6 million (26.5%) and $59.5 million (13.4%) due primarily to the acquisition of First Los Angeles Bank (First LA) on December 31, 1995 and the purchase of corporate loans originated by third parties. Total average investments and available for sale securities increased $145.9 million (20.9%) between second quarters due mainly to the improved liquidity resulting from the acquisition of First LA which had total loans at December 31, 1995 of $337.5 million and total deposits of $795.5 million. In December 1995, the Company reclassified securities with a book value of $402.3 million and a market value of $401.2 million from the investment securities classification to available for sale as permitted by the Guide to the Implementation of FASB No. 115. Total average deposits increased $791.7 million (39.2%) between second quarters due primarily to the acquisition of First LA as well as increased deposit levels from the Bank's non-First LA customers. For the first half of 1996, average loans increased $756.9 million (46.1%). Total average investment and available for sale securities increased $124.3 million (17.4%) from the comparable period of 1995. Total average deposits for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased $771.7 million (37.8%) compared to the 1995 period. The changes in the six month average balances resulted from the same factors that caused the changes between the second quarter average balances. The provision for credit losses was zero for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. Loans charged off in the second quarter of 1996 were $7.8 million, compared to $5.6 million in the second quarter of 1995. Recoveries were $6.1 million in the second quarter of 1996, compared to $6.3 million in the second quarter of 1995. The provision for credit losses is expected to remain at reduced levels for the remainder of 1996. This forward-looking statement -8- is based on an assumption that general economic conditions in Southern California will not deteriorate materially in 1996, and if this assumption proves to be inaccurate, an increased provision for credit losses may be required. See "Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the 'Safe Harbor' Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995", below. Non-interest income excluding gains and losses on the sale of securities and assets totaled $10.4 million for the second quarter of 1996, up $1.9 million (22.1%) from a year earlier. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, non-interest income excluding gains and losses on the sale of securities and assets totaled $20.4 million, an increase of $3.6 million (21.6%) from last year's total of $16.7 million. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $.9 million (45.0%) and $1.7 million (44.4%), respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 due primarily to the acquisition of First LA and higher levels of service charges resulting from the lower earnings on deposit balances as a result of lower interest rates compared to the prior year. Investment services income increased $.7 million (34.5%) and $1.2 million (29.6%) for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 due to higher fees and new investment products offered to customers. Management expects modest growth in non-interest income from first half 1996 levels during the remaining quarters of 1996. See "Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the 'Safe Harbor' Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995", below. Excluding net ORE results, non-interest expense totaled $34.0 million in the second quarter of 1996, an increase of $3.8 million (12.7%) from the second quarter of 1995. Salaries and other employee benefits increased $1.7 million (10.4%) and $5.3 million (15.9%) for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, from comparable periods in 1995 due primarily to the additional personnel added as a result of the acquisition of First LA and the hiring of additional personnel to pursue other opportunities. The expense categories other than staff increased $2.1 million (15.5%) and $4.9 million (18.5%) for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, from the comparable periods in 1995. The increases in professional expenses resulted primarily from higher consulting expenses. The increases in promotion expenses resulted from the Company's increased advertising program and the other increases were as a result of the acquisition of First LA, including $.7 million in acquisition related costs incurred in the first quarter of 1996 to cover certain integration expenses related to the acquisition of First LA. -9- The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 33.8% in the second quarter of 1996 from 39.1% in the second quarter of 1995. The decrease resulted from the recognition of $.9 million in previously unrecognized deferred tax benefits and a higher level of municipal leases, municipal bonds and preferred stock holdings in the securities portfolio as compared with the prior year. The Company expects the effective tax rate for the remainder of 1996 to remain near 1996 first half levels.

Approximately $200.0 million of the increase, concentrated primarily in real estate mortgage loans, was due to the acquisition of First LA. The $464.6 million increase in residential first mortgage loans resulted from the purchase of residential first mortgages originated by third parties and the Bank's own originations. Construction loans also increased significantly from June 30, 1995, up $43.7 million to $96.1 million at June 30, 1996 as the Company continued to expand its lending for single family residential construction development. The Company expects that the Bank's loan portfolio will continue to increase from second quarter 1996 levels due both to its own internal generation as well as purchases of loans originated by third parties.

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 action, the Bank recorded a consolidation charge of $12.0 million in the fourth quarter of 1993. At June 30, 1996, the balance remaining in the consolidation reserve was $4.1 million. The Bank is continuing to negotiate settlements of lease commitments and believes the reserve balance at June 30, 1996 is adequate to cover these lease liabilities. CAPITAL ADEQUACY REQUIREMENTS As of June 30, 1996, the Company had a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk- weighted assets (Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio) of 14.01%, a ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets (total risk-based capital ratio) of 15.31%, and a ratio of Tier 1 capital to average adjusted total assets (Tier 1 leverage ratio) of 9.60%, while the Bank had a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 13.23%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.53% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.04%. At June 30, 1996, the Corporation had repurchased 2.2 million shares of its stock for approximately $28.9 million, leaving 53,800 million shares remaining to be purchased in the 5% share repurchase program announced on May 3, 1995. The Company continues to evaluate alternatives in managing its capital, including acquisitions, and to a lesser extent, additional share repurchases. On July 24, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.09 per share, payable August 15, 1996 to shareholders of record as of August 5, 1996. LIQUIDITY The Company continues to manage its liquidity through the combination of core deposits, federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements, collateralized borrowing lines at the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, and a portfolio of securities available for sale. Liquidity is also provided by maturing investment securities and loans. Average core deposits comprised 74.2% of total funding in the second quarter of 1996, compared to 80.6% in the second quarter of 1995. This decrease has required that the Company increase its use of more costly alternative funding sources. Despite the decrease in percentage of funding derived from core deposits, the Company has not faced any liquidity constraints. -17- The following table shows that the Company's cumulative one year interest rate sensitivity gap decreased from $392.1 million at June 30, 1995 to ($473.2) million at June 30, 1996. This change resulted from the Company's effort to lower its exposure to decreases in net interest income due to a rapid decline in interest rates. The Company has increased its portfolio of loans that reprices after one year by $578.0 million during the last twelve months. In addition, the Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts with maturities in excess of one year totaling $150.0 million to eliminate its asset sensitivity. At June 30, 1996 the unrealized loss on the Company's interest rate swap contracts were $1.5 million. The Company's liability sensitive position during a period of slowly rising interest rates is not expected to have a significant negative impact on net interest income since rates paid on the Company's large base of interest checking, savings and money market deposit accounts historically have not increased proportionately with increases in interest rates. -18- Interest Rate Sensitivity Management At June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company's distribution of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities was as follows: Maturing or repricing in --------------------------------------------------------------------- After 3 After 1 year 3 months months but but within After or less within 1 year 5 years 5 years Total -------- -------------- ------------ -------- ----- June 30, 1996 (Dollars in millions) Rate-sensitive assets: Interest-bearing deposits in other banks....... $ 30.7 $ - $ - $ - $ 30.7 Loans.......................................... 1,352.0 341.7 200.7 606.5 2,500.9 Investment securities.......................... 5.2 1.0 101.7 85.8 193.7 Securities available for sale.................. 37.0 25.1 356.2 237.5 655.8 Trading account................................ 26.8 - - - 26.8 Interest rate swap.............................

The Company cautions readers that the following important factors could affect the Company's business and cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statement made by, or on behalf of, the Company. -- Economic conditions. The Company's results are strongly influenced by general economic conditions in its market area, Southern California, and a deterioration in these conditions could have a material adverse impact on the quality of the Bank's loan portfolio and the demand for its products and services. In particular, changes in economic conditions in the real estate and entertainment industries may affect the Company's performance. -- Interest rates. Management anticipates that interest rate levels will remain generally constant in 1996, but if interest rates vary substantially from present levels, this may cause the Company's results to differ materially. -- Government regulation and monetary policy. All forward-looking statements presume a continuation of the existing regulatory environment and U. S. Government monetary policies. The banking industry is subject to extensive federal and state regulations, and significant new laws or changes in, or repeals of, existing laws may cause results to differ materially. Further, federal monetary policy, particularly as implemented through the Federal Reserve System, significantly affects credit conditions for the Bank, primarily through open market operations in U.S. government securities, the discount rate for member bank borrowings and bank reserve requirements, and a material change in these conditions would be likely to have an impact on results. -- Competition. The Bank competes with numerous other domestic and foreign financial institutions and non-depository financial intermediaries. Results may differ if circumstances affecting the nature or level of competitive change, such as the merger -20- of competing financial institutions or the acquisition of California institutions by out-of-state companies. -- Credit quality. A significant source of risk arises from the possibility that losses will be sustained because borrowers, guarantors and related parties may fail to perform in accordance with the terms of their loans. The Bank has adopted underwriting and credit monitoring procedures and credit policies, including the establishment and review of the allowance for credit losses, that management believes are appropriate to minimize this risk by assessing the likelihood of nonperformance, tracking loan performance and diversifying the Bank's credit portfolio, but such policies and procedures may not prevent unexpected losses that could adversely affect the Company's results. -- Other risks. From time to time, the Company details other risks to its businesses and/or its financial results in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. While management believes that its assumptions regarding these and other factors on which forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, such assumptions are necessarily speculative in nature, and actual outcomes can be expected to differ to some degree. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the results described in such forward-looking statements will, in fact, be achieved. -21- PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITIES HOLDERS. On April 16, 1996, the Registrant held its annual meeting of stockholders.
