See accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. 5 CITY NATIONAL CORPORATION NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. City National Corporation (the "Corporation") is the holding company for City National Bank (the "Bank"). In light of the fact that the Bank comprises substantially all of the business of the Corporation, references to the "Company" mean the Corporation and the Bank together. 2. The results of operations reflect the interim adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature and which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period presented. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. 3. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. This Statement was originally scheduled to be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No.133" (SFAS 137), which extended the effective date to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. In June 2000, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", which amends SFAS No. 133. The Corporation uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate exposure, which are accounted for as hedging activities. Management does not believe that the implementation will have a significant impact on the Corporation's financial position, net income or net comprehensive income. In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" as a replacement of SFAS 125 effective for disclosures in financial statements issued subsequent to December 15, 2000, and for transactions entered into after March 31, 2001. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS 140 will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements. 4. Trading account securities are stated at market value. Investments not classified as trading securities are classified as securities available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains or losses for securities available-for-sale, net of taxes are excluded from net income and are reported as other comprehensive loss included as a separate component of shareholders' equity. 5. Certain prior periods' data have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. 6. On February 29, 2000, the Corporation acquired The Pacific Bank, N.A. ("Pacific Bank"). In that transaction, Pacific Bank merged into the Bank and the Corporation paid consideration equal to $145.2 million (including the consideration for stock options), 47.0% of which was paid in the Corporation's common stock and 53.0% of which was paid in cash. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. Pacific Bank had total assets, loans, and deposits of $782.0 million, $488.0 million, and $702.0 million, respectively, at the date of acquisition. The acquisition of Pacific Bank resulted in the recording of goodwill and intangibles of approximately $69.5 million. Included in goodwill as purchase price adjustments were $4.3 million of accrued severance and change of control costs, of which $0.4 million remain unpaid as of September 30, 2000, $1.3 million of paid transaction-related expenses and $3.2 million of exit costs of which approximately $2.0 million remain unpaid as of September 30, 2000. Results reflect the operations of Pacific Bank from February 29, 2000, the date of acquisition. 7. Reserves established as a purchase price adjustment for the August 27, 1999 acquisition of American Pacific State Bank ("APSB") of $0.2 million for severance accruals and $0.2 million for exit costs remain as of September 30, 2000. Reserves established as a purchase price adjustment for the December 31, 1998 acquisition of North American Trust Company of $0.4 million for excess space continue to be amortized over the remaining 5.17 years of a lease. 8. Under the Corporation's stock buyback program of one million shares of the Corporation's common stock announced on July 29, 1999, 731,100 shares had been repurchased for a cost of $23.5 million as of September 30, 2000. No shares were repurchased in the third quarter of 2000. The shares purchased under the buyback program have been reissued for acquisitions and upon the exercise of stock options. There were no Treasury shares at September 30, 2000. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2000, the remaining 268,900 shares of the program were repurchased for a cost of $8.6 million. On October 26, 2000, a new one million share stock buyback program of the Corporation's common stock was announced. 6 CITY NATIONAL CORPORATION FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (UNAUDITED)

7 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS See "Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the `Safe Harbor' Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995", below relating to "forward-looking" statements included in this report. RECENT DEVELOPMENT On October 31, 2000, the Corporation announced that it signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Los Angeles-based investment management firm of Reed, Conner & Birdwell for a payment at closing of a combination of the Corporation's stock and notes. The notes, payable over five years, are valued on the basis of the firm's future growth and profitability. Reed, Conner & Birdwell has approximately $1.1 billion in client assets under management. Upon completion, which management expects to occur prior to year-end, the transaction will increase to more than $17.8 billion the assets under management or administration by the Corporation. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The Corporation recorded net income of $34.2 million for the third quarter of 2000, a 21.6% increase from net income of $28.1 million in the third quarter of 1999, and a 2.1% increase from $33.4 million in the second quarter of 2000. Cash net income, which excludes the amortization of core deposit intangibles and goodwill from acquisitions, increased 27.1% to $37.9 million for the third quarter of 2000 from $29.8 million for the third quarter of 1999, and rose 1.9% from $37.2 million in the second quarter of 2000. These increases reflected the continued growth in loans and deposits, increases in net interest income and increases in noninterest income, partially offset by increases in noninterest expense and a provision for credit losses. Net income per diluted common share of $0.70 per share for this year's third quarter increased 16.7%, compared with $0.60 per share in the third quarter of 1999, and 2.9% above the $0.68 per diluted common share reported for the 2000 second quarter. Slightly over $0.01 per diluted common share in the third quarter of 2000 was attributable to the net effect of a non-recurring gain on the sale of securities and closure costs for two banking offices. Cash net income per diluted common share for this year's third quarter rose 20.3% to $0.77, compared with $0.64 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 1999 and $0.76 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2000. Management expects earnings per diluted common share for the fourth quarter to be within the current range of analysts' projections of $0.67 to $0.70 per diluted common share as reflected in First Call. The Corporation recorded net income of $98.6 million for the first nine months of 2000, an increase of 23.0% over net income of $80.2 million for the first nine months of 1999. Cash net income for the first nine months of 2000 rose 28.2% to $108.9 million from $84.9 million for the 1999 comparable period. Net income per diluted common share for the first nine months of 2000 increased by 20.0% to $2.04 per diluted common share, from $1.70 per diluted common share in the first nine months of 1999. Cash net income per diluted common share rose to $2.25, compared with $1.81 per diluted common share for the first nine months of 1999. The nine month increase resulted primarily from an increase of $65.8 million in net interest income and an increase of $15.6 million in noninterest income, partially offset by a $44.0 million increase in noninterest expense and an $11.0 million provision for credit losses. These results reflect the integration of Pacific Bank, acquired in February 2000, and APSB, acquired in August 1999. The Corporation's return on average assets in the third quarter of 2000 was 1.55%, compared with 1.72% in the 1999 third quarter and 1.58% in the 2000 second quarter. The quarter's decrease reflects the Corporation's larger asset base and the impact on net income of amortizing the higher level of goodwill resulting from recent acquisitions. The return on average shareholders' equity was 19.63%, compared with 19.94% for the prior year quarter and 20.37% for the second quarter of this year. The decline is attributable, in part, to an increase in retained earnings and lower unrealized losses on securities during the third quarter of 2000. For the first nine months of 2000, the return on 8 average assets was 1.58% and the return on average shareholders' equity was 20.25%, compared with a 1.71% return on average assets and a 19.08% return on average shareholders' equity for the first nine months of 1999. On a cash basis (which excludes goodwill and the after-tax impact of nonqualifying core deposit intangibles from average assets and average shareholders' equity), the return on average assets in the third quarter of 2000 was 1.75%, compared with 1.83% in the third quarter of 1999. The return on average shareholders' equity rose to 29.13%, compared with 22.88% for the prior year quarter. On a cash basis, for the first nine months of 2000, the return on average assets was 1.79% and the return on average shareholders' equity was 30.09%, compared with a 1.83% return on average assets and a 22.47% return on average shareholders' equity for the first nine months of 1999. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income is the difference between interest income (which includes yield-related loan fees) and interest expense. Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis expressed as a percentage of average total earning assets is referred to as the net interest margin, which represents the average net effective yield on earning assets. As a result of the strong loan and core deposit growth and a higher prime rate compared with the year earlier period, net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis rose 27.8% to $107.3 million in the third quarter of 2000 compared with $83.9 million for the same quarter of 1999. The negative impact of the reversal of income on loans moving to nonaccrual status and lower interest recovered on nonaccrual and charged-off loans, slightly offset by the benefit of having one more day in this quarter, contributed to the decline in third quarter results compared with the $107.8 million for the second quarter of 2000. Interest recovered on nonaccrual and charged-off loans was $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2000, compared with $0.8 million for the third quarter of 1999 and $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2000. For the first nine months of 2000, net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis totaled $310.4 million, an increase of 27.8 % over $242.8 million for the first nine months of 1999. Interest recovered in the first nine months of 2000 was $3.1 million, compared with $4.9 million for the same period of 1999. The fully taxable-equivalent net interest margin was 5.32% for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 and 5.46% for the first nine months of 2000 compared with 5.57% and 5.58% for the third quarter and first nine months of 1999, respectively. The net interest margin was 5.58% for the second quarter of 2000. The reduction in average demand deposits between sequential quarters and the higher level of interest income not recognized on nonaccrual loans contributed 8 and 7 basis points, respectively, to the reduction of the margin between the second and third quarters of 2000. In addition, the net interest margin between the second and third quarters was reduced by 6 basis points by higher balances on short-term investment securities in the regulated investment company subsidiary. See "-- Income Taxes." Compared with the prior year periods, the increase in the cost of funds and unfavorable changes in the funding mix offset higher yields on earning assets. The following tables present the components of net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. To compare the tax-exempt asset yields to taxable yields, amounts are adjusted to pre-tax equivalents based on the marginal corporate federal tax rate of 35%. 9

(1) Includes average nonaccrual loans of $33,575 and $23,153 for 2000 and 1999, respectively. (2) Loan income includes loan fees of $13,508 and $13,083 for 2000 and 1999, respectively. 11 Average loans rose to $6.4 billion during the third quarter of 2000, an increase of 32.2% over the third quarter of 1999. Average loans increased 2.0% over the 2000 second quarter. Year-over-year loan growth was driven primarily by increases in commercial loans and real estate mortgages. Compared with the year-ago quarter, commercial loan average balances rose 27.0% from $2.6 billion to $3.3 billion and real estate mortgage averages rose 64.8 % from $0.9 billion to $1.4 billion, largely as a result of loans added through acquisitions. Growth in all other loan categories contributed to the increase in average loans over the prior year and sequential quarters. For the first nine months of 2000, average loans increased 32.3 % to $6.2 billion from $4.7 billion for the first nine months of 1999. Average securities increased $474.7 million, or 43.8%, to $1.6 billion for the third quarter of 2000 compared with the third quarter of 1999 and increased 12.8% from the second quarter of 2000. For the first nine months of 2000, average securities increased $278.2 million, or 25.2%, to $1.4 billion compared with the 1999 period. Average deposits rose during the third quarter of 2000 to $6.5 billion, an increase of 35.9% over the third quarter of 1999, and an increase of 3.6% over the 2000 second quarter. During the first nine months of 2000, average deposits increased 34.5% to $6.2 billion, compared with $4.6 billion for the same period a year ago. Average core deposits, which excludes time deposits $100,000 and over, rose during the third quarter of 2000 to $5.0 billion, an increase of 31.0% over the third quarter of 1999, but decreased 1.0% over the 2000 second quarter. During the first nine months of 2000, average core deposits increased 30.0% to $4.9 billion, compared with $3.7 billion for the same period a year ago. Net interest income is impacted by the volume and rate of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The following table shows changes in net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis between the third quarter and the first nine months of 2000 and the third quarter and the first nine months of 1999, as well as between the third quarter and the first nine months of 1999 and the third quarter and the first nine months of 1998.

Management expects its net interest margin in the fourth quarter to improve modestly from the third quarter, in part, due to anticipated seasonal increases in core deposits and a decrease in the level of lower yielding investment securities. PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES The Corporation recorded a provision for credit losses of $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2000. The 2000 year-to-date provision totaled $11.0 million. The Corporation reported no credit loss provisions in the year earlier periods. The provision for credit losses during the first nine months reflects the levels of net charge-offs and nonaccrual loans, management's ongoing assessment of credit quality of the portfolio and the 24.3% year-over-year growth of the loan portfolio. The level of provision for credit losses to be taken in the fourth quarter will reflect management's assessment of the above factors, as well as the economic environment. Based on management's current assessment of these factors, the provision could approximate the amount taken in the third quarter. However, no assurance may be given that these factors or management's assessment of them will not change in the future. See "-- Allowance for Credit Losses." NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income totaled $28.5 million for the third quarter of 2000, a 23.1% increase over the $23.2 million reported in the third quarter of 1999. These results reflect a 6.5% increase over the $26.8 million for the second quarter of 2000. Noninterest income for the first nine months of this year of $79.6 million increased 24.3% over the $64.0 million for the first nine months of 1999. Recurring noninterest income, which excludes gain and loss of securities and assets, increased 27.2% to $26.8 million for the third quarter of 2000 over the same quarter of 1999. Recurring noninterest income in the third quarter was essentially unchanged from the second quarter, largely as a result of strong levels of other income recorded in the second quarter of 2000. The $77.6 million in recurring noninterest income for the first nine months of 2000 represented a 33.2% increase over the $58.3 million for the same period in 1999. All categories of recurring noninterest income were higher in the current periods of 2000 compared with the year earlier periods, reflecting the Corporation's continued emphasis on growing fee income. Investment services and trust fees rose as a result of a strong cross-selling program to existing customers, as well as direct-sales activities focused on new customers by City National Investments (CNI), a division of the Bank. Assets under administration in CNI were $16.7 billion at September 30, 2000, including $5.3 billion under management, compared with $13.5 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively, at September 30, 1999, and $15.5 billion 13 and $5.2 billion at June 30, 2000. The increase in assets under management over the year-earlier period is primarily attributable to the CNI Charter Funds introduced in 1999 and 2000. See--"Recent Development." International services income rose significantly as a result of increased foreign exchange fees and, to a lesser extent, an increase in fee income associated with letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Gains on the sale of assets and securities amounted to $1.7 million and $2.0 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2000, respectively, compared with gains of $2.1 million and $5.7 million for the same periods a year earlier. Noninterest income was 21.0 % of total revenues for the first nine months of both 2000 and 1999. Management expects consistent growth in CNI and international income and moderate growth in other categories during the 2000 fourth quarter compared with the year ago period. NONINTEREST EXPENSE Third quarter 2000 results benefited from a reduction in noninterest expense to $74.0 million compared with $76.1 million in the second quarter of 2000. The decline in expenses was, in part due to the completed integration of Pacific Bank, as well as management's continued emphasis on achieving greater efficiencies and productivity. Noninterest expense was $61.4 million in the third quarter of 1999. Noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2000 increased by $44.0 million to $219.1 million, compared with $175.1 million for the first nine months of 1999. The year-over-year increase in expenses was primarily the result of the Corporation's growth, including expenses associated with additional offices and a substantial number of new colleagues--mostly from acquisitions--as well as the amortization of goodwill and core deposit intangibles. Third quarter 2000 results included $0.8 million of severance and excess space provisions relating to the previously announced closure of two banking offices scheduled to be completed at the end of the year. Salaries and other employee benefits increased by $6.3 million, or 18.5%, over the third quarter of 1999; they decreased by $1.1 million, or 2.6 %, compared with the second quarter of 2000. All other expenses increased $6.3 million, or 23.2 %, from the third quarter of 1999, but decreased $1.0 million, or 2.9%, from the second quarter of 2000. Reserves of approximately $0.3 million remain from the $1.3 million integration charge for Pacific Bank. Management currently anticipates that fourth quarter noninterest expenses will increase modestly over the third quarter due to continued growth, moderated by management's emphasis on enhancing efficiency and productivity. During 1999, the Corporation completed the process of preparing for the Year 2000 date change. To date, the Corporation has successfully managed the transition. Although considered unlikely, unanticipated problems in the Corporation's business process, including problems associated with non-compliant third parties and disruptions to the economy in general, could still occur despite efforts to date to remediate systems problems and develop contingency plans. Management will continue to monitor all business processes, including interaction with the Corporation's customers, vendors and other third parties, throughout 2000 to address any issues and ensure all processes continue to function properly. INCOME TAXES The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2000 was 33.7% and the rate for the first nine months of 2000 was 34.4% compared with 35.4% for all of 1999. The lower rate is due primarily to the impact of the formation of a regulated investment company subsidiary. The long-term plan for the regulated investment company is currently under review. The effective tax rate is expected to remain at the current year-to-date rate for the balance of the year. 14 BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS Total average assets reached $8.8 billion in the third quarter of 2000, an increase of 34.9% over the $6.5 billion in average assets in the third quarter of 1999 and $0.2 billion higher than the second quarter of 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, total average assets increased 32.6% to $8.3 billion, compared with $6.3 billion for the same period a year ago. Increased loan balances due to internally generated loan growth, as well as the acquisitions of APSB and Pacific Bank contributed to this growth in average assets. Total assets at September 30, 2000 were $8.9 billion, compared with total assets of $6.9 billion at September 30, 1999, and total assets of $7.2 billion at December 31 1999.

LOAN PORTFOLIO A comparative period-end loan table is presented below: 15

Total loans at September 30, 2000 were $6.4 billion, compared with $5.2 billion at September 30, 1999 and $5.5 billion at December 31, 1999. The increase from December 31, 1999 was primarily driven by an increase in commercial relationship loans as well as real estate mortgages. Syndicated non-relationship loans, which represent loans agented by others where the Corporation has no direct access to the borrower and provides them with no other banking products or services have been broken out separately. Due to recent credit concerns attributable to increased interest rates and a tightening economy, management has decided to reduce its emphasis on syndicated non-relationship loans. Syndicated non-relationship loans declined $202.2 million, or 37.7%, during the first nine months of 2000, to $334.6 million at September 30, 2000, and represented approximately 5.0% of the loan portfolio at September 30, 2000, compared with almost 10.0% at December 31, 1999. The average outstanding loan balance in the syndicated non-relationship portfolio at September 30, 2000 is just under $4.0 million, which represents about two-thirds of the average commitment amount. The decline in syndicated non-relationship lending is expected to continue as the Corporation emphasizes relationships with clients who are offered the full array of its products, including loans, deposits, and fee-based services such as cash management, international, and wealth management. During the first half of the fourth quarter of 2000, management continued its evaluation of the syndicated non-relationship loan portfolio and has identified approximately $129.0 million of the $334.6 million of outstanding syndicated non-relationship loans at September 30, 2000 as available-for-sale and recorded a charge-off of approximately $4.2 million to reflect these loans at fair value. Of the loan balances reclassified as available-for-sale, $103.2 million have been sold through November 13, 2000. Management expects that the continued strength in California's economy and its plans for continued marketing efforts will result in consistent growth in relationship loans during the fourth quarter. The following table presents information concerning nonaccrual loans, ORE, and restructured loans. Bank policy requires that a loan be placed on nonaccrual status if either principal or interest payments are ninety days past due, unless the loan is both well secured and in process of collection; if full collection of interest or principal becomes 16 uncertain, regardless of the time period involved; or regulator's ratings of syndicated credits suggest that the loan be placed on nonaccrual.

At September 30, 2000, in addition to loans disclosed above as nonaccrual or restructured, management had also identified $31.4 million of problem loans about which the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms in the future is questionable. Three loans accounted for $20.5 million of the total with two of the loans totaling $11.5 million being syndicated non-relationship loans. Problem loans were $9.4 million at September 30, 1999 and $7.3 million at June 30, 2000. 17 ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2000 totaled $139.2 million, or 2.17% of outstanding loans. This compares with an allowance of $139.0 million, or 2.69% of outstanding loans at September 30, 1999, and an allowance of $134.1 million, or 2.44% of outstanding loans at December 31, 1999. Loan charge-offs for the third quarter of 2000 were $9.8 million, slightly higher than the $8.9 million in the second quarter of this year and $2.3 million ahead of the $7.5 million reflected a year ago. For the same periods, net charge-offs were $8.3 million, $4.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively, as the benefit from recoveries continued to decline in relation to past levels. As a percentage of average loans, net charge-offs on an annualized basis were 0.51%, 0.25% and 0.37% for the three months ended September 30, 2000, June 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, respectively. Slightly more than half of the net charge-offs in this quarter and in the year-to-date period were for syndicated non-relationship loans. As previously noted, the Corporation's exposure to syndicated non-relationship loans continues to decline. Total non-performing assets (nonaccrual loans and ORE) were $47.0 million, or 0.73% of total loans and ORE at September 30, 2000, compared with $21.5 million, or 0.41%, at September 30, 1999 and $26.7 million, or 0.49%, at December 31, 1999. Two syndicated non-relationship loans totaling $13.9 million moved to nonaccrual status this quarter. Total syndicated non-relationship loans on nonaccrual status were $17.2 million at September 30, 2000 compared with none a year ago and at December 31, 1999. Relationship loans on nonaccrual were $10.4 million higher than a year ago, but only $4.4 million higher than December 31, 1999 levels. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonaccrual loans was 296.9% at September 30, 2000 compared with 719.7% at September 30, 1999 and 530.2% at December 31, 1999. The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level which management deems appropriate based on a thorough analysis of numerous factors, including levels of net charge-offs and nonaccrual loans and continuing growth in the loan portfolio. The level of the allowance for credit losses can be expected to change in the fourth quarter of 2000 and will require additional provision for credit losses but not necessarily equal to net charge-offs. Credit quality will be influenced by underlying trends in the economic cycle, particularly in California, and other factors which may be beyond management's control. No assurances can be given that the Corporation will not sustain credit losses, in any particular period, that are sizable in relation to the allowance for credit losses. Based on known information available to it at the date of this report, management believes that the Corporation's allowance for credit losses was adequate at September 30, 2000. Subsequent evaluation of the loan portfolio, in light of factors then prevailing, by the Corporation and its regulators will dictate the level of provisions required to maintain the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. 18

The claim in receivership was acquired in the acquisition of Pacific Bank and is expected to be realized in 2001. DEPOSITS Deposits totaled $6.9 billion at September 30, 2000, compared with $5.3 billion at September 30, 1999 and $5.7 billion at December 31, 1999. Demand deposits accounted for 40.0% of total deposits at September 30, 2000. Core deposits which continued to provide substantial benefits to the Bank's cost of funds rose 4.0% during the quarter. The year-over-year increase resulted from the Corporation's increased marketing efforts, the nature of the Corporation's relationship business which allows customers to maintain balances as compensation for banking services, as well as from the acquisitions of APSB and Pacific Bank. See "-- Net Interest Income." 19 CAPITAL ADEQUACY REQUIREMENT The following table presents the regulatory standards for well capitalized institutions and the capital ratios for the Corporation and the Bank at September 30, 2000, December 31, 1999 and September 30, 1999.
Regulatory Well Capitalized September 30, December 31, September 30, Standards 2000 1999 1999 ------------------- ----------------- ---------------- ---------------- City National Corporation Tier 1 leverage 4.00 % 6.41 % 6.73 % 7.09 % Tier 1 risk-based capital 6.00 7.85 7.88 7.98 Total risk-based capital 10.00 10.88 11.21 11.44 City National Bank Tier 1 leverage 4.00 % 6.14 % 6.30 % 6.77 % Tier 1 risk-based capital 6.00 7.53 7.40 7.63 Total risk-based capital 10.00 10.57 10.75 11.09
The reduction in capital ratios from a year ago was due primarily to the acquisitions of APSB and Pacific Bank and the Corporation's stock repurchase program, but remain above the well capitalized standards. On October 25, 2000, the Corporation declared a regular quarterly cash dividend on common stock at a rate of $0.175 per share to shareholders of record on November 8, 2000, payable on November 20, 2000. LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT The Corporation continues to manage its liquidity through the combination of core deposits, federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements, collateralized borrowing lines at the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco and a portfolio of securities available-for-sale. Liquidity is also provided by maturing securities and loans. Average core deposits and shareholders' equity comprised 65.0% of total funding in the third quarter of 2000, compared with 68.5% in the third quarter of 1999. This decrease has required that the Corporation increase its use of more costly alternative funding sources. Despite the decrease in percentage of funding derived from core deposits and shareholders' equity, the Corporation has not faced any liquidity constraints. See "-- Net Interest Income." ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The principal objective of asset/liability management is to maximize net interest income subject to margin volatility and liquidity constraints. Margin volatility results when the rate reset (or repricing) characteristics of assets are materially different from those of the Corporation's liabilities. Liquidity risk results from the mismatching of asset and liability cash flows. Management chooses asset/liability strategies that promote stable earnings and reliable funding. Interest rate risk and funding positions are kept within limits established by the Board of Directors to ensure that risk taking is not excessive and that liquidity is properly managed. 20 A quantitative and qualitative discussion about market risk is included on pages A-15 to A-18 of the Corporation's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. During the third quarter of 2000, the Corporation remained slightly more asset sensitive, and at all times remained within the limits set by the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2000, the Corporation had $900.0 million of notional principal in receive fixed-pay LIBOR interest rate swaps, of which $510.0 million have maturities greater than one year. The Corporation's interest-rate risk-management instruments had a fair value of $(3.5) million and $(10.4) million at September 30, 2000 and June 30, 2000, respectively, with no exposure to credit risk at September 30, 2000 or at June 30, 2000. The credit exposure represents the cost to replace, on a present value basis and at current market rates, the net positive value of all contracts for each counterparty that were outstanding at the end of the period. The Corporation's swap agreements require the deposit of collateral to mitigate the amount of credit risk if certain market value exposure thresholds are exceeded. As of September 30, 2000, the Corporation had deposited $7.3 million par value in securities with counterparties. At September 30, 2000, the Corporation's outstanding foreign exchange contracts for both those purchased as well as sold totaled $72.9 million.

These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management, and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, and statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words "will," believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "estimates" or similar expressions. Our management believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Future results may differ materially from those currently expected or anticipated. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our future results and shareholder values may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many of the factors described below that will determine these results and values are beyond our ability to control or predict. For those statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. AN ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN IN CALIFORNIA COULD HURT OUR BUSINESS. Prior to the merger with Pacific Bank, we focused our business in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Ventura counties of Southern California. After the merger, our operations include San Francisco and San Mateo counties. In addition the opening of a new office in Palo Alto extended operations to Santa Clara county. An economic slowdown in California could have the following consequences, any of which could hurt our business: - Loan delinquencies may increase; - Problem assets and foreclosures may increase; - Demand for our products and services may decline; and - Collateral for loans made by us, especially real estate, may decline in value, in turn reducing customers' borrowing power, and reducing the value of assets and collateral associated with our existing loans. CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES AFFECT OUR PROFITABILITY. Changes in prevailing rates may hurt our business. We derive our income mainly from the difference or "spread" between the interest earned on loans, securities and other interest-earning assets, and interest paid on deposits, borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities. In general, the wider the spread, the more we earn. When market rates of interest change, the interest we receive on our assets and the interest we pay on our liabilities will fluctuate. This can cause decreases in our spread and can affect our income. In addition, interest rates affect how much money we can lend. For example, when interest rate rise, loan originations tend to decrease. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN BANKING LAWS OR REGULATIONS COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS. The banking industry is subject to extensive federal and state regulations, and significant new laws or changes in, or repeals of, existing laws may cause results to differ materially. Further, federal monetary policy, particularly as implemented through the Federal Reserve System, significantly affects our credit conditions, primarily through open market operations in U.S. government securities, the discount rate for member bank borrowing and bank reserve requirements. A material change in these conditions would have an impact on results. WE FACE STRONG COMPETITION FROM FINANCIAL SERVICE COMPANIES AND OTHER COMPANIES THAT OFFER BANKING SERVICES WHICH CAN HURT OUR BUSINESS. Increased competition in our market may result in reduced loans and deposits. Ultimately, we may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. Many competitors offer the banking services that we offer in our service area. These competitors include national, regional, and community banks. We also face competition from many other types of financial institutions, including, without limitation, savings and loans, finance companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies, credit unions, mortgage banks, and other financial intermediaries. Recently passed legislation will make it easier for other types of financial institutions to compete with us. 22 OUR RESULTS WOULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE SUFFERED HIGHER THAN EXPECTED LOSSES ON OUR LOANS. We assume risk from the possibility that losses will be sustained because borrowers, guarantors, and related parties may fail to perform in accordance with the terms of their loans. We have adopted underwriting and credit policies, including establishing and reviewing the allowance for credit losses, that we believe are appropriate to minimize this risk. We assess the likelihood of nonperformance, track loan performance, and diversify our credit portfolio. Those policies and procedures may not prevent unexpected losses that could adversely affect our results. PART 11. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
