SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 5 NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. The results of operations reflect the interim adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature and which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. 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. On January 17, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of Ventura County National Bancorp (VCNB) for $49.1 million by issuing 1,344,095 treasury shares with an aggregate market value of $28.1 million and paying $21.0 million in cash. VCNB had shareholders' equity of $30.2 million at closing. This acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. On January 24, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of Riverside National Bank (RNB) for $41.3 million. The Company issued 963,430 treasury shares with an aggregate market value of $20.7 million as well as paying $20.6 million in cash. RNB had shareholders' equity of $22.5 million at closing. This acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. 4. On March 17, 1997, the Company announced a program for the repurchase of up to 1.5 million shares of its common stock. Shares purchased under the buyback program will be issued upon the exercise of stock options and for other general purposes. 5. On August 29, 1997, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement pursuant to which Harbor Bancorp, headquartered in Long Beach, will be merged into the Company in a transaction currently valued at $34.1 million. Harbor Bancorp shareholders -6- will receive either cash, City National Corporation stock or a combination of cash and stock valued at $24.10 per share, subject to several conditions including the issuance of a minimum of 48 percent and a maximum of 55 percent stock in the aggregate. Harbor Bancorp is a holding company whose principal wholly owned subsidiary is Harbor Bank, which has six branches and approximately $241.3 million in assets at September 30, 1997. The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 1998. 6. For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements, and do not include items with original maturities of over 90 days. 7. Certain prior year data have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. -7- 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 $20.9 million, or $.44 per share, in the third quarter of 1997, compared to a net income of $17.8 million, or $.39 per share, in the third quarter of 1996. Most of the change between third quarters resulted from an increase in net interest income of $14.4 million and an increase in noninterest income of $1.7 million offset, in part by a $10.3 million increase in noninterest expenses due to the acquisitions of Ventura County National Bancorp (VCNB) and Riverside National Bank (RNB) in January 1997, costs related to a bankwide data processing system conversion and the hiring of additional personnel related to the strong growth in business. Net income for the first nine months of 1997 totaled $58.5 million, or $1.22 per share compared with $49.7 million, or $1.10 per share in the 1996 period. The nine month increase resulted largely from a $39.7 million increase in net interest income and a $6.4 million increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a $29.5 million increase in noninterest expense. Returns on average assets for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 were 1.74% and 1.69%, respectively, compared with 1.81% for the third quarter and 1.76% for the first nine months of 1996. Returns on average equity for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 decreased to 17.26% and 16.80%, respectively, from 18.89% and 18.07% in 1996 as a result of the increase in average equity caused by the issuance of 2.3 million shares of treasury stock for the two acquisitions completed in January 1997, and retained earnings for the last twelve months. Taxable equivalent net interest income was $67.1 million in the third quarter of 1997, up 29.3% from the comparable quarter in 1996. The increase resulted from a 31.2% increase in average loans between quarters as well as a 30.3% increase in noninterest bearing deposits. The net interest spread increased from 4.36% to 4.61% and the net interest margin increased from -8- 5.73% to 6.13% due to the strong increase in loans, improved yields from securities, good growth in core deposits and the recognition of a higher level of interest income from problem loans. Management expects modest growth in quarterly net interest income for the remainder of 1997 compared to third quarter 1997 levels. The foregoing forward looking statement assumes, among other things, that interest rates will not decrease in the remainder of 1997 and is based on anticipated growth in loans. Actual results may differ materially if either of those assumptions proves to be incorrect. See "Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the 'Safe Harbor' Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995", below. Average loans increased $821.7 million (31.2%) between third quarters to $3,454.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997. This increase reflected higher average commercial and residential first mortgage loans outstanding, up $491.5 million (42.3%) and $118.5 million (14.1%), respectively. The increase in commercial loans resulted from the Bank's internal loan generation, the acquisitions of VCNB and RNB in January 1997 and purchases of syndicated corporate loans. The increase in residential first mortgage loans resulted from both the Bank's internal loan generation and bulk purchases of residential first mortgage loans during 1996 and the first quarter of 1997. Average construction loans increased $32.6 million (32.4%) from the third quarter of 1996, and average real estate mortgage loans increased $166.3 million (33.3%), due primarily to the acquisitions of VCNB and RNB. Total average investments and available for sale securities decreased by $32.4 million (3.8%) between third quarters due to strong loan demand. Total average deposits increased $780.2 million (27.4%) between third quarters due primarily to the acquisitions of VCNB and RNB, approximately $470.0 million in deposits, as well as increased deposit levels generated by the Bank's existing branches. For the first nine months of 1997, average loans increased $830.3 million (33.5%), and total average investment and available for sale securities decreased $13.3 million (1.6%). Total deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased $710.5 million (25.2%) compared to the 1996 period. The changes in the nine month average balances resulted from the same factors that caused the changes between the third quarter average balances. The provision for credit losses was zero for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Loans charged off in the third quarter of 1997 were $3.4 million, compared to $3.8 -9- million in the third quarter of 1996. Recoveries were $8.3 million in the third quarter of 1997, compared to $5.2 million in the third quarter of 1996. Due to the growth in the loan portfolio, the ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total period end loans has decreased from 4.81% at September 30, 1996 to 3.90% at September 30, 1997. The provision for credit losses is expected to remain at reduced levels for the remainder of 1997. This forward looking statement is based on an assumption that general economic conditions in Southern California will not deteriorate materially in the remainder of 1997, 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. Noninterest income excluding gains and losses on the sale of securities and assets totaled $12.9 million for the third quarter of 1997, up $1.7 million (14.8%) from a year earlier. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, noninterest income excluding gains and losses on the sale of securities and assets totaled $38.4 million, an increase of $6.8 million (21.7%) from last year's total of $31.6 million. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $.6 million (22.1%) and $1.8 million (22.5%) for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, due primarily to the acquisitions of VCNB and RNB. Investment services income increased $.4 million (12.0%) and $1.3 million (15.1%) for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, due to new customers and new investment products offered to customers. Trust fees increased $.5 million (26.2%) and $1.2 million (22.6%) for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, due to higher amounts of new business. International services income increased $.5 million (31.8%) and $1.6 million (44.5%) for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, due to increased volume in all international product categories generated through the Bank's increased marketing efforts. Included in all other income in the second quarter of 1997 was a $.9 million settlement of a lawsuit with a borrower. Management expects modest growth in noninterest income from third quarter 1997 levels during the remainder of 1997. See "Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the 'Safe Harbor' Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995", below. Excluding net-ORE results, noninterest expense totaled $45.7 million in the third quarter of 1997, an increase of $10.9 million (31.3%) from the third quarter of 1996. For the first nine months of 1997, excluding net-ORE results, noninterest expense totaled $135.0 million, an -10- increase of $30.1 million (28.7%) from the first nine months of 1996. Salaries and other employee benefits increased $6.3 million (33.2%) and $16.1 million (28.1%) for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 from the comparable period in 1996, due primarily to the additional personnel added as a result of the acquisition of VCNB and RNB and the hiring of additional personnel to internally grow the business. Expense categories other than staff increased $4.6 million (29.1%) and $14.0 million (29.5%) for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 from the comparable period in 1996. The increases in professional expenses resulted primarily from higher consulting fees attributed to the conversion to the new data processing system which was completed in September 1997. The increase in promotion expenses resulted from the Company's expanded advertising program. Other noninterest expense for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 included charges totaling $1.4 million and $4.0 million, respectively, for expenses incurred to convert to a new data processing platform and other systems changes. In March 1997, the Company reached agreements with its insurance carriers regarding a lender liability lawsuit which it settled with a former bank customer in the fourth quarter of 1996. The insurance reimbursements of $2.5 million have been credited to other noninterest expense. The remaining other increases resulted from the acquisitions of VCNB and RNB. Amortization of goodwill and core deposit intangibles increased to $1.3 million for the third quarter and $4.5 million for first nine months of 1997 from $.8 million and $1.6 million in the applicable periods in 1996. Noninterest expense levels for the remainder of 1997 are expected to decrease from third quarter 1997 levels with the completion of the integration of VCNB and RNB into City National Bank and the completion of the conversion to the new data processing systems. See "Cautionary Statement For Purposes of the 'Safe Harbor' Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995", below. The Company's effective tax rate increased to 36.1% in the third quarter of 1997 from 33.8% in the third quarter of 1996 primarily because of the recognition in the first nine month of 1996 of $.9 million in previously unrecognized deferred tax benefits. The Company expects the effective tax rate for the remainder of 1997 to remain near third quarter 1997 levels. See "Cautionary Statement For Purposes of the 'Safe Harbor' Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995", below. -11- N E T I N T E R E S T I N C O M E S U M M A R Y The following table presents the components of net interest income for the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

Approximately $300.0 million of the increase was due to the acquisitions of VCNB and RNB. The $494.2 million increase in commercial loans was due to the Bank's own loan originations, the acquisitions of VCNB and RNB and the purchase of additional syndicated corporate loans. The $122.2 million increase in residential first mortgage loans resulted from the Bank's own originations, which were supplemented by purchases of residential first mortgages originated by third parties. Construction loans also increased significantly from September 30, 1996, up $38.1 million to $145.0 million at September 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 third quarter 1997 levels due primarily to its own internal loan generation activities.

-17- NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." This Statement establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS) and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. This Statement simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share previously found in APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings per Share", and makes them comparable to international EPS standards. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to Opinion 15. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods; earlier application is not permitted. This Statement requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 128, the Company anticipates that its basic EPS disclosures will be increased as compared to the primary EPS disclosures presently required by APB Opinion 15. The Company does not expect its diluted EPS disclosures will differ materially from the fully-diluted disclosures presently required by APB Opinion 15. In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure." SFAS No. 129 consolidates existing reporting standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital structure. SFAS No. 129 must be adopted for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The impact on the Company of adopting SFAS No. 129 is not expected to be material as, the Company's existing disclosures are generally in compliance with the disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 129. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 is effective for 18 fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The impact on the Company of adopting SFAS No. 130 is not expected to be material to the Company's existing disclosure. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for reporting selected information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of interim reports to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997, and requires comparative information for earlier years to be restated. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of SFAS No. 131. The Securities and Exchange Commission has approved rule amendments to clarify and expand existing disclosure requirements for derivative financial instruments. The amendments require expanded disclosure of accounting policies for derivative financial instruments in the footnotes to the financial statements, and quantitative and qualitative information about market risk inherent in market risk sensitive instruments. The required quantitative and qualitative information should be disclosed outside the financial statements and related notes thereto. The enhanced accounting policy disclosure requirements are effective for the quarterly period ended June 30, 1997. As the Company believes that the derivative financial instrument disclosures contained within the notes to the financial statements of its 1996 Form 10-K substantially conform with the accounting policy requirements of these rule amendments, no further interim period disclosure has been provided. The rule amendments that require expanded disclosure of quantitative and qualitative information about market risk are effective with the 1997 Form 10-K. CAPITAL ADEQUACY REQUIREMENTS As of September 30, 1997, the Company had a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio) of 11.43%, a ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets (total risk-based capital ratio) of 12.71%, and a ratio of Tier 1 capital to average adjusted total assets (Tier 1 leverage ratio) of 9.09%, while the Bank had a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 9.92%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 11.20% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.86%. 19 On March 17, 1997, the Company announced a program for the repurchase of up to 1.5 million shares of its common stock. Through September 30, 1997, the Company had repurchased 663,000 shares at a total cost of $22.5 million. Shares purchased under the buyback program will be issued upon the exercise of stock options and for other general purposes, including for acquisitions. At September 30, 1997, 731,752 shares were held in treasury with a total cost of $17.7 million. On October 23, 1997, the Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.11 per share, payable November 13, 1997 to shareholders of record as of November 4, 1997. ACQUISITION On August 29, 1997, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement pursuant to which Harbor Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, Harbor Bank, will be merged into the Company in a transaction currently valued at $34.1 million and subject to final valuation per terms and conditions of the definitive agreement. Bancorp shareholders will receive, at their election, cash, stock or a combination thereof valued at $24.10 per share, with a minimum of approximately 48 percent and a maximum of approximately 55 percent stock in the aggregate. Harbor Bank, the second largest independent bank headquartered in Long Beach, has six branches and approximately $241.3 million in assets as of September 30, 1997. The number of City National Corporation shares to be issued to Harbor Bancorp shareholders will vary based on the average of the daily closing price of City National Corporation stock on the NYSE for the twenty consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition. If the average City National stock price so determined is less than $23.5875, then each Harbor Bancorp share eligible to be exchanged for stock shall be converted into 1.0217 shares of City National Corporation stock. If the average City National stock price so determined is more than $31.9125 but less than $34.6875, then each Harbor Bancorp share eligible to be exchanged for stock shall be converted into .7552 of a share of City National Corporation stock. The Company will use previously repurchased treasury shares for the stock portion of the transaction. The Company has filed its application for approval of the merger with Harbor Bancorp with the Federal Reserve Board and the Bank has filed its application for approval of the merger of Harbor Bank into City National Bank with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. This 20 acquisition is anticipated to close in the first quarter of 1998 and is expected to modestly increase the Company's earnings during 1998. See "Cautionary Statement For Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995", below. LIQUIDITY The Company continues to manage its liquidity through a 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 and shareholder's equity comprised 74.3% of total funding in the third quarter of 1997, compared to 74.2% in the third quarter of 1996. The following table shows that the Company's cumulative one year interest rate sensitivity gap was ($418.9) million at September 30, 1996 and ($778.1) million at September 30, 1997, respectively. 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. During the last twelve months, the Company has increased its portfolio of loans that reprice after one year by $563.5 million. In order to reduce its asset sensitivity, the Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts, with maturities in excess of one year, totaling $350.0 million. At September 30, 1997 the unrealized gain on the Company's interest rate swap contracts was $.9 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. 21 INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT At September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company's distribution of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities was as follows:

(1) Customer deposits which are subject to immediate withdrawal are presented as repricing within 3 months or less. The distribution of other time deposits is based on scheduled maturities. -22- 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 short term interest rate levels will increase in 1997, but if interest rates vary substantially from this expectation, the Company's results could 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 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 23 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. 24 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 4. NONE ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.
