CITY NATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.  Principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of City
National Bancshares Corporation (the "Corporation") and its subsidiary, City
National Bank of New Jersey (the "Bank" or "CNB"). All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2.  Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000.

3. Net income per common share

Basic income per common share is calculated by dividing net income less
dividends paid on preferred stock by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. On a diluted basis, both net income and common shares
outstanding are adjusted to assume the conversion of dilutive convertible
subordinated debentures.

Item 2

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income decreased to $70,000 in the first quarter of 2000 from $306,000 for
the similar 1999 period due primarily to a higher provision for loan losses,
which increased to $314,000 from $43,000 a year earlier. The higher provision
was required to provide additional reserves for the charge-off of an impaired
loan for which the credit quality rapidly deteriorated during the first quarter.
Related (loss) earnings per share on a diluted basis decreased to $(.14) from
$1.53.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis was relatively unchanged in the
first quarter of 2000 compared to the first quarter of 1999, while the net
interest margin in the 2000 first quarter declined 44 basis points to 3.50%
compared to 3.94% a year ago. A higher interest rate environment contributed to
an increase in the yields on interest earning assets, which rose to 7.52% from
7.22%. The increased earnings generated from the higher yield were offset by an
increase in the cost to fund those interest earning assets, which rose to 4.02%
from 3.27%.

Interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased to $3 million in the first
quarter of 2000 compared to $2.6 million for the year earlier quarter, due to
the additional earnings generated from increased levels of all categories of
interest earning assets. Interest expense rose to $1.6 million in the 2000 first
quarter compared to $1.2 million a year earlier primarily due to the higher cost
of municipal time deposits.

PROVISION AND RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Changes in the reserve for loan losses are set forth below.

</TABLE>

Management believes that the reserve for loan losses is adequate based on an
ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio. This evaluation includes consideration
of past loan loss experience, the level and composition of nonperforming loans,
collateral adequacy, and general economic conditions, including the effect of
such conditions on particular industries.

While management uses available information to determine the adequacy of the
reserve, future additions may be necessary based on changes in economic
conditions or in subsequently occurring events unforeseen at the time of
evaluation.

NONPERFORMING LOANS

Nonperforming loans include loans on which the accrual of interest has been
discontinued or loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to
interest or principal payments on which interest income is still being accrued.
Nonaccrual loans include loans where principal or interest income is still being
accrued. Delinquent interest payments are credited to income when received. The
following table presents the principal amounts of nonperforming loans past due
90 days or more and accruing.

</TABLE>

Nonperforming assets are generally secured by residential and small commercial
real estate. It is the Bank's intent to dispose of all other real estate owned
("OREO") properties at the earliest possible date at or near current market
value.

Nonaccrual loans declined significantly during the 2000 first quarter due to the
charge-off of $1.3 million in impaired loans to a single borrower that had
previously been restructured.

There were no impaired loans at March 31, 2000, while impaired loans totalled
$1.3 million at December 31,1999. The related reserves allocated to these loans
amounted to $955,000 at December 31, 1999. Impaired loans averaged $1.1 million
for the first quarter of 2000 and $380,000 for the first quarter of 1999.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME

Other operating income, including the results of investment securities
transactions, decreased 11.4% during the three months ended March 31, 2000
compared to the similar 1999 quarter, due primarily to the



                                       9
<PAGE>   10

receipt in 1999 of $51,000 from the U.S. Department of Treasury, under its Bank
Enterprise Award Program. This program provides financial incentives to banks
making qualifying loans in distressed communities. No such income was received
in 2000.

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES

Other operating expenses rose 9.2% for the first quarter of 2000 to $1,397,000
from $1,279,000 in the first quarter of 1999, with the increase attributable
primarily to higher salaries and benefit expenses, which increased by $75,000,
or 11.1%. Merit increases, along with staffing increases resulting from product
and branch expansion, contributed to this increase.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

A net loss for state income tax purposes contributed to an income tax benefit in
the 2000 first quarter, while in the first quarter of 1999, income tax expense
as a percentage of pretax income was 34.2%.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Investment securities available for sale ("AFS") rose to $37.6 million at March
31, 2000 from $35.5 million at the end of 1999. Net unrealized losses in the AFS
portfolio rose to $715,000 at March 31, 2000 from $679,000 at 1999 year-end due
to the effects on the portfolio of an increase in interest rates during the
first quarter of 2000.

The held to maturity ("HTM") portfolio carried gross unrealized losses of
$1,790,000 at March 31, 2000 compared to $1,966,000 at December 31, 1999. This
increase was also due to the higher interest rate environment and had a
particularly negative impact on the Bank's $19.5 million portfolio of callable
agency bonds, which had gross unrealized losses of $1.6 million at March 31,
2000 and at the end of 1999. Because of their call features, these bonds tend to
reflect depreciation regardless of bond market conditions as they will earn less
than current issues if interest rates rise, whereas if rates fall, they then may
be redeemed by the issuer. However, at the time of purchase, they have a higher
coupon rate than similar noncallable securities and the favorable spreads
provide compensation for the interest rate risk inherent in this investment due
to the call feature.

Management believes that holding the callable securities will not have a
significant impact upon the financial condition or operations of the
Corporation.

LOANS

Loans rose slightly at March 31, 2000 from December 31,1999 after reflecting
loan charge-offs, while loans held for sale at December 31, 1999 were all sold
during the first quarter. There were no loans originated for sale during the
first three months of 2000.

DEPOSITS

Total deposits rose $8.2 million, or 5.9% to $148 million at March 31, 2000 from
$139.8 million at the end of 1999, while average deposits rose 16.7%, to $145.8
million for the first quarter of 2000 from $124.9 million for the same quarter
of 1999. The major source of the deposit growth was from higher municipal time
deposit balances, although some of these funds came from municipal Super-NOW
accounts. Super NOW accounts averaged $18.7 million in the first quarter of
2000, a 20% decrease from the 1999 first quarter. Average demand deposits rose
$2.2 million, or 10.3% due primarily to increased commercial account activity.

The Bank's deposit levels may change significantly on a daily basis because
deposit accounts maintained by municipalities represent a significant part of
the Bank's deposits and are more volatile than commercial or retail deposits.
These municipal accounts represent a substantial part of the Bank's deposits,
tend to have high balance relationships and comprised most of the Bank's
accounts with balances of $100,000 or



                                       10
<PAGE>   11

more at March 31, 2000. These accounts are used for operating and short-term
investment purposes. All the foregoing deposits require collateralization with
readily marketable U.S. Government securities.

While the collateral maintenance requirements associated with the Bank's
municipal and U.S. Government account relationships might limit the ability to
readily dispose of investment securities used as such collateral, management
does not foresee any need for such disposal, and in the event of the withdrawal
of any of these deposits, these securities are readily marketable.

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

While total short-term borrowings decreased from $6 million at December 31, 1999
to $5.4 million at the end of the 2000 first quarter, the related average
balances were $3 million for the first three months of 1999 compared to $4.3
million for the first three months of 2000. These borrowings are comprised
primarily of U.S. Treasury tax and loan note option balances, which may be
withdrawn at any time.

LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt decreased from $16.2 million at 1999 year-end to $11.7 million at
March 31, 2000, while average long-term debt declined from $15.7 million for the
first three months of 1999 to $13 million for the first quarter of 2000. The
decrease in average long-term debt occurred due to early redemptions of callable
Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

LIQUIDITY

The liquidity position of the Corporation is dependent on the successful
management of its assets and liabilities so as to meet the needs of both deposit
and credit customers. Liquidity needs arise primarily to accommodate possible
deposit outflows and to meet borrowers' requests for loans. Such needs can be
satisfied by investment and loan maturities and payments, along with the ability
to raise short-term funds from external sources.

It is the responsibility of the Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") to
monitor and oversee all activities relating to liquidity management and the
protection of net interest income from fluctuations in interest rates.

The Bank depends primarily on deposits as a source of funds and also provides
for a portion of its funding needs through short-term borrowings, such as
Federal Funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and
borrowings under the U.S. Treasury tax and loan note option program. The Bank
also utilizes the Federal Home Loan Bank for longer-term funding purposes.

The major contribution during the first quarter of 2000 from operating
activities to the Corporation's liquidity came from proceeds from sales of loans
held for sale, while the highest use of cash was for other assets.

Net cash used in investing activities was primarily the result of the purchase
of investment securities available for sale, while sources of cash provided by
investing activities were derived primarily from proceeds from maturities,
principal payments and early redemptions of investment securities held to
maturity.

The primary source of funds from financing activities resulted from an increase
in deposits, while the highest use of cash in financing activities resulted from
early redemptions of callable long-term debt.

CAPITAL

Stockholders' equity amounted to $9 million at March 31, 2000 and at December
31, 1999 as preferred dividend payments and an increase in net unrealized
securities losses offset net income. Stockholders'



                                       11
<PAGE>   12

equity as a percentage of total assets was 5.11% at March 31, 2000 compared to
5.23% at December 31, 1999.

Risk-based capital ratios are expressed as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets,
and relate capital to the risk factors of a bank's asset base, including
off-balance sheet risk exposures. Various weights are assigned to different
asset categories as well as off-balance sheet exposures depending on the risk
associated with each. In general, less capital is required for less risk.

At March 31, 2000, the Corporation's core capital (Tier 1) and total (Tier 1
plus Tier 2) risked-based capital ratios were 9.80% and 13.00%, respectively.

Item 3

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Due to the nature of the Corporation's business, market risk consists primarily
of its exposure to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the impact that
changes in interest rates have on earnings. The principal objective in managing
interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is to maximize net interest income within
the acceptable levels of risk that have been established by policy. There are
various strategies which may be used to reduce interest rate risk, including the
administration of liability costs, the reinvestment of asset maturities and the
use of off-balance sheet financial instruments. The Corporation has no risk
associated with off balance-sheet financial instruments.

Interest rate risk is monitored through the use of simulation modeling
techniques, which apply alternative interest rate scenarios to periodic
forecasts of changes in interest rates, projecting the related impact on net
interest income. The use of simulation modeling assists management in its
continuing efforts to achieve earnings growth in varying interest rate
environments.

Key assumptions in the model include anticipated prepayments on mortgage-related
instruments, contractual cash flows and maturities of all financial instruments,
deposit sensitivity and changes in interest rates.

These assumptions are inherently uncertain, and as a result, these models cannot
precisely estimate the effect that higher or lower rate environments will have
on net interest income. Actual results may differ from simulated projections due
to the timing, magnitude or frequency of interest rate changes, as well as
changes in management's strategies.

Based on the results of the most recent interest simulation model, if interest
rates increased or decreased 100 basis points from current rates in an immediate
and parallel shock, the Corporation would anticipate a decrease of $195,000 in
net interest income and a decrease of $168,000 in net interest income,
respectively. The results do not represent a material change from the amounts
previously reported as of December 31, 1999.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In May of 1998, CNB commenced a lawsuit against an entity that acted as an agent
for CNB in the sale of CNB's money orders, and certain affiliates of such entity
for fraud and other damages. CNB alleges, among other things, that at various
times during its business relationship with the defendants, the defendants
stole, misappropriated, hypothecated or embezzled a sum of approximately
$805,000 from CNB. The defendants have responded alleging CNB records regarding
these transactions are in error and that CNB is liable to the defendants for
amounts due as a result of these errors and for damages incurred by the
defendants as a result of CNB's collection efforts. The amount of the
defendants' counterclaim has not been quantified. CNB has filed appropriate
proofs of loss under various insurance policies, including CNB's fidelity bond.
This litigation is currently in the midst of discovery. The likelihood



                                       12

of CNB's success in this litigation and its ability to recover any amount for
which it obtains judgment is uncertain.
