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, 1997. 2. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Management of the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate exposure, which are accounted for as hedging activities. Therefore, management is in the process of determining the impact that this statement will have on the Company. In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" ("SFAS 132"). This Statement standardizes the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans and recommends a parallel format for presenting information about pensions and other postretirement benefits. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Since the Company has no defined benefit plans, it has determined that this Statement will have no significant impact. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"). SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way that public enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that selected information about those operating segments be reported in interim financial statements. This statement supersedes SFAS 14 "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise". SFAS No. 131 requires that all public enterprises report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. In the initial year of application, comparative information for earlier years should be restated. Management is in the process of determining the impact, if any, this statement will have on the Company. 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 net income and are reported as comprehensive income included as a separate component of shareholders' equity net of taxes. 4. On January 9, 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of Harbor Bancorp (HB), a one-bank holding company with six branches, one of which was subsequently closed. The total purchase price was approximately $34.5 million. The Company issued approximately 540,000 shares, primarily from treasury, with an aggregate market value of $17.9 million and paid the remainder in cash. This acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and resulted in the recording of goodwill and intangibles of approximately $24.0 million. The results of HB's operations are included in those reported by the Company beginning on January 10, 1998. On February 27, 1998, the Company sold its Wilmington branch, which had been acquired as part of the acquisition of Ventura County National Bancorp to Banco Popular, N.A. (California). With the sale the purchaser received approximately $40 million of deposits. On May 15, 1998, the Company closed its Magnolia branch, which was acquired in the Company's acquisition of Riverside National Bank. 6 5. On January 12, 1998, the Company issued $125 million of 6 3/8% Subordinated Notes due 2008. The net proceeds from the sale are being used for general corporate purposes in the ordinary course of its banking business. 6. For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and overnight federal funds sold. 7. Certain prior periods' data have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. 8. On April 29, 1998, the Company reported it had completed its share repurchase program announced in March 1997 of 1.5 million shares of its common stock at a total cost of $42.7 million, or an average price of $28.46 per share. A new share repurchase program of up to 1.0 million shares of the Company's common stock from time to time in open market transactions was also announced at the same time. As of July 31, 1998, the Company had repurchased 476,500 shares under this program at a total cost of $17.3 million, or an average price of $36.23 per share. 7 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS City National Corporation (the Corporation) is the holding Company for City National Bank (the Bank). Because the Bank comprises substantially all of the business of the Corporation, references to the "Company" in this Item 2 reflect the consolidated activities of the Corporation and the Bank. See "Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the 'Safe Harbor' Provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995", below in connection with "forward looking" statements included in the Overview section of Results of Operations and in the Loan Portfolio section of the Balance Sheet Analysis. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The Company recorded consolidated net income of $23.6 million, or $.49 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 1998, compared to $19.6 million, or $.41 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 1997. Increased net income was primarily due to $9.5 million higher net interest income, and $3.9 million higher noninterest income, partially offset by $7.7 million in higher noninterest expense. Net income for the first six months of 1998 totaled $46.1 million, or $.95 per diluted common share compared with $37.6 million, or $.79 per diluted common share in the 1997 period. The six month increase resulted largely from a $22.5 million increase in net interest income and a $7.7 million increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a $18.1 million increase in noninterest expense. Returns on average assets for the second quarter and first half of 1998 were 1.73% and 1.72% respectively compared with 1.67% and 1.66% for the corresponding periods of 1997. Returns on average equity for the second quarter and first half of 1998 increased to 17.66% and 17.33% respectively from 16.87% and 16.56% in 1997. Earnings before the amortization of goodwill and core deposits intangibles (net of applicable taxes) ("cash" earnings) for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 were $25.0 million or $.52 per diluted common share and $49.0 million or $1.01 per diluted common share, respectively compared to $20.8 million of $.43 per diluted common share and $39.7 million or $.83 per diluted common share in the corresponding periods of 1997. On the same basis, the returns on average assets were 1.85% and 1.84% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively compared to 1.80% and 1.77% in the 1997 periods. Cash returns on average common equity were 20.94% and 20.47% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively compared to 19.89% and 19.10% for the year ago periods. "Cash" earnings are presented because they measure the Company's ability to support growth, pay dividends and repurchase stock. The Company's "cash" earnings per share and other ratios are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Taxable equivalent net interest income was $74.8 million in the second quarter of 1998, up 14.7% from the year ago quarter. The increase resulted from the 18.5% increase in average interest earning assets between quarters. The net interest spread and the net interest margin decreased to 4.33% and 5.95%, respectively for the second quarter from 4.72% and 6.15%, for comparable period a year ago. Management expects modest growth in quarterly net interest income for the remainder of 1998 from second quarter 1998 levels, assuming, among other things, that interest rates will essentially remain constant but that loan balances will continue to grow. Actual results may vary if the assumptions prove to be incorrect. Average loans increased $765.9 million (22.9%) between second quarters to $4,111.4 million at June 30, 1998. This increase reflected higher average commercial, real estate commercial mortgage and residential first mortgage loans outstanding, up $524.1 million (33.0%), $110.5 million (17.2%) and $105.2 million (11.1%), respectively. The increase in commercial loans resulted from the Bank's internal loan generation, the acquisition of HB in January 1998 and purchases of corporate syndicated loans. The increase in real estate mortgage loans was primarily from the acquisition of HB. The increase in residential first mortgage loans resulted from the Bank's internal loan generation. Average construction loans increased $20.0 million (15.9%) from the second quarter of 1997. 8 Total average investment and available-for-sale securities decreased by $33.7 million between second quarters due to strong loan demand, which has absorbed any excess liquidity. Total average deposits increased $623.4 million (17.4%) between second quarters due primarily to the acquisition of HB as well as increased deposit levels generated by the Bank's specialty deposit department and existing branches. For the first half of 1998, average loans increased $826.9 million (25.6%) and total average investment and available-for-sale securities decreased $28.7 million (3.4%). Total deposits for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased $650.7 million (18.7%) compared to the 1997 period. The change in the six month average balance resulted from the same factors that caused the change between the second quarter average balances. The provision for credit losses was zero for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. Loans charged off in the second quarter of 1998 were $4.1 million, compared to $7.9 million in the second quarter of 1997. Recoveries were $2.9 million and $3.2 million in the quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The allowance for credit losses was 3.21% of total loans at June 30, 1998 compared to 3.86% at June 30, 1997 and 3.60% at December 31, 1997. The provision for credit losses is expected to remain at reduced levels for the remainder of 1998. This assumes that general economic conditions in Southern California will not deteriorate materially during the balance of 1998, and if this assumption proves to be inaccurate, an increased provision for credit losses may be required. Noninterest income excluding gains and losses on the sale of securities and assets totaled $15.5 million for the second quarter of 1998, up $1.8 million (13.1%) from a year earlier. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, noninterest income excluding gains and losses on sale of securities and assets totaled $30.8 million, an increase of $5.3 million (20.8%) from last year's total of $25.5 million. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $0.9 million (25.7%) and $2.6 million (38.9%), respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 due primarily to increases in service charge fee schedules effective during the fourth quarter of 1997 and the acquisition of HB. Investment services increased $0.6 million (20.5%) and $1.3 million (20.7%) compared to the same periods a year ago due to new customers and new investment products offered to customers. During the first quarter of 1998, the company invested in bank owned life insurance that generated $0.6 million and $1.0 million in noninterest income in the second quarter and first half of 1998, respectively. Included in all other income in the second quarter of 1997 was a $0.9 million settlement of a lawsuit with a borrower. Noninterest income is expected to continue to grow during the remainder of 1998. Noninterest expense totaled $53.0 million in the second quarter of 1998, an increase of $7.7 million (16.9%) from the second quarter of 1997. For the first half of 1998 noninterest expense totaled $107.3 million, an increase of $18.1 million (20.3%) from the first half of 1997. Salaries and other employee benefits increased $3.2 million (13.1%) and $9.5 million (19.7%) for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 from the comparable period in 1997, due primarily to the additional personnel added as a result of the acquisition of HB, the hiring of additional personnel to pursue other opportunities, and moving to a more performance based compensation structure. The expense categories other than staff increased $4.4 million (21.4 %) and $8.6 million (21.0%) for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 from the comparable period in 1997. The increase in professional expenses resulted primarily from higher customer service expense due to increased volumes and higher consulting fees. Higher promotion expense resulted from the Company's increased advertising program. Amortization of goodwill and core deposit intangibles for the second quarter was $1.8 million, unchanged from a year ago, and increased to $3.7 million for the first six months of 1998 from $3.2 million in the same period of 1997, reflecting primarily the acquisition of HB. Lower data processing expense is attributable to savings from the conversion of core operating systems to a new data processing provider. Other increases are attributable primarily to the acquisition of HB. Noninterest expense levels for the remainder of 1998 are expected to be higher than in 1997 reflecting the growth of the Company and the acquisition of HB. During the second quarter, efforts continued to address Year 2000 matters in accordance with the Company's five-phase project plan which covers information technology as well as embedded systems. As previous reported, the first two phases of awareness and assessment have been completed. The Company is now well into the renovation and testing phases. Much of the renovation phase has been devoted to monitoring the Year 2000 progress of third party vendors and service providers. There are 32 in-house applications that the Company is currently responsible for reprogramming, 50% of which have been renovated. As part of the validation phase, the Company has completed development of its test lab and has already certified as Year 2000 compliant 40 of its hardware, server and desktop applications. In the second quarter, approximately $0.5 million was spent on Year 2000 matters, bringing the six months total expenditures to approximately $0.7 million. In accordance with the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council's latest advisories, the Company expects to complete validation of both internal and external systems by June 30, 1999. The Company is nearing completion of its contingency planning for each of its mission critical business functions. It will establish trigger dates by which each vendor must become Year 2000 compliant or the contingency plan will be implemented. The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 35.5% in the second quarter of 1998 from 36.7% in the second quarter of 1997. The Company expects the effective tax rate for the remainder of 1998 to remain near or slightly above 1998 second quarter levels. 10 The following table presents the components of net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

Approximately $152.2 million of the increase was due to the acquisition of HB. Also contributing to the $526.4 million increase in commercial loans from June 30, 1997 were loan originations and the purchase of syndicated corporate loans. The $88.2 million increase in residential first mortgage loans from the year ago quarter resulted from the Bank's own originations. Construction loans also increased by $78.1 million from June 30, 1997 as the Company continued to expand its lending for residential construction development. The Company expects that the Bank's loan portfolio will continue to increase from second quarter 1998 levels due primarily to its own internal loan generation activities. The following table presents information concerning nonaccrual loans, ORE, and restructured loans.

On March 17, 1997, the Company announced a program for the repurchase of up to 1.5 million shares of its common stock, which was completed on April 28, 1998. The Company repurchased these shares at a total cost of $42.7 million or an average price of $28.46 per share. A new repurchase program of up to 1.0 million shares was announced on April 29, 1998. As of July 31, 1998, the Company had repurchased 476,500 shares under this program at a total cost of $17.3 million, or an average price of $36.23 per share. Shares purchased under the buyback program will be reissued upon the exercise of stock options and for other general corporate purposes. On July 29, 1998, the Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.14 per share, payable August 13, 1998 to shareholders of record as of August 4, 1998. ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The principal objectives of asset/liability management are to maximize net interest margin subject to margin volatility and liquidity constraints. Margin volatility results when the rate reset (or repricing) characteristics of assets are materially different from those of the Company's liabilities. Liquidity risk results from the mismatching of asset and liability cash flows. Management chooses asset/liability strategies that promote stable earnings and reliable funding. Interest rate risk and funding positions are kept within limits established by the Company's board of directors to ensure that risk-taking is not excessive and that liquidity is properly managed. The Company has established three measurement process to quantify and manage exposure to interest rate risk: net interest income simulation modeling, gap analysis, and present value of equity analysis. Net interest income simulations are used to identify the direction and severity of interest rate risk exposure across a twelve month forecast horizon. Gap analysis provides insight into structural mismatches of assets and liability repricing characteristics. Present value of equity calculations are used to estimate the theoretical price sensitivity of shareholder equity to changes in interest rates. Generally, an asset sensitive gap indicates that net interest income will improve during a period of rising interest rates. The gap report is based on the contractual cash flows of all asset and liability balances on the Company's books. The contractual life of those balances may differ substantially from their expected lives however. For example, checking accounts are all subject to immediate withdrawal. Experience suggests that these accounts will have an average life of several years. Also, certain loans (such as first mortgages) are subject to prepayment. The 17 cash flows shown in the gap report are adjusted to reflect these behaviors. The gap report also shows the effects that interest rate swaps have had on the repricing profile of the Company. The use of interest rate swaps to manage interest rate exposure involves the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet contractual terms. These counterparties must receive appropriate credit approval before the Company enters into an interest rate contract. Notional principal amounts express the volume of these transactions, although the amounts potentially subject to credit and market risks are much smaller. At June 30, 1998, almost all of the Company's interest rate swaps were entered into as hedges against a decrease in interest income generated from prime based loans if the prime decreased. The Company has not entered into transactions involving any other interest rate derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate floors, caps and interest rate futures contracts. At June 30, 1998, the under-one-year cumulative gap was a $260.0 million (5.0% of total assets) net asset position compared with a net asset position of $132 million (3% of total assets) at December 31, 1997. The increase resulted from the Company's funding of asset growth with equity, subordinate debt and seasonal rate stable deposits. As of June 30, 1998, the Company has $610.0 million of notional principal in receive fixed-pay LIBOR interest rate swaps, of which $430.0 million have maturities greater than one year. The Company's interest-rate risk-management instruments had a fair value of $2.2 million and $1.7 million and an exposure to credit risk of $2.2 million and $1.8 million at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. The credit exposure represents the cost to replace, on a present value basis and at current market rates, all profitable contracts outstanding at the end of the period. The Company's swap agreements require the deposit of collateral to mitigate the amount of credit risk if certain thresholds are exceeded. No amounts were required to be deposited by the Company or its counterparties as of June 30, 1998. Since interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and liabilities equally or simultaneously, a cumulative gap analysis alone cannot be used to evaluate the Company's interest rate sensitivity position. To supplement traditional gap analysis, the Company uses simulation modeling to estimate the potential effects of changing interest rates. This process allows the Company to fully explore the complex relationships within the gap over time and various interest rate scenarios. At June 30, 1998, the Company's outstanding foreign exchange contracts totaled $16.5 million. The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts with its customers and counterparty banks solely for the purpose of offsetting or hedging transaction and economic exposures arising out of commercial transactions. The Company's policies prohibit outright speculation by the Company and its employees. The Company actively manages its foreign exchange exposures within prescribed risk limits and controls. All foreign exchange contracts outstanding at June 30, 1998 had remaining maturities of six months or less with the exception of $0.9 million which had remaining maturities ranging between six months and 24 months. LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT The Company continues to manage its liquidity through the combination of core deposits, federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements, collateralized borrowing lines at the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, and a portfolio of securities availabie-for-sale. Liquidity is also provided by maturing investment securities and loans. Average core deposits and shareholders' equity comprised 72.9% of total funding in the second quarter of 1998, compared to 75.7% in the second quarter of 1997. This decrease has required that the Company increase its use of more costly alternative funding sources. Despite the decrease in percentage of funding derived from core deposits and shareholders' equity, the Company has not faced any liquidity constraints. 18 CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 The Company wishes to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 as to "forward looking" statements in this Quarterly Report which are not historical facts. The Company cautions readers that the following important factors could affect the Company's business and cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statement made by, or on behalf of, the Company. - --Economic conditions. The Company's results are strongly influenced by general economic conditions in its market area, Southern California, and a deterioration in these conditions could have a material adverse impact on the quality of the Bank's loan portfolio and the demand for its products and services. In particular, changes in economic conditions in the real estate and entertainment industries may affect the Company's performance. - --Interest rates. Management anticipates that interest rate levels will remain generally constant, but there is some risk of Federal Reserve tightening. 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 policies. The banking industry is subject to extensive federal and state regulations, and significant new laws or changes in, or repeal of, existing laws may cause results to differ materially. Further, federal monetary policy, particularly as implemented through the Federal Reserve System, significantly affects credit conditions for the Bank, primarily through open market operations in U.S. Government securities, the discount rate for member bank borrowing and bank reserve requirements, and a material change in these 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 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. 19 PART 11. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 4.
