</TABLE>

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. In determining net income per common share, the
Corporation's annual preferred stock dividend payments have been prorated on a
quarterly basis to more accurately reflect net income per share.

4. Comprehensive Income

Total comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive income
which is comprised of unrealized gains and losses on investment securities
available for sale, net of taxes. The Corporation's total comprehensive income
(loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $1,150,000
and $1,686,000, respectively. The difference between the Corporation's net
income and total comprehensive income for these periods relates to the change in
the net unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available for sale
during the applicable period of time.

5. Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2004 consolidated financial
statements in order to conform with the 2005 presentation.

6. Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections: a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement 3." (SFAS
No. 154), which requires a corporation to apply voluntary changes in accounting
principles retrospectively wherever it is practicable. The retrospective
application requirement replaces the requirement in APB 20 to recognize most
voluntary changes in accounting principles by including the cumulative effect of
the change in net income during the period the change occurred. Retrospective
application will be the required transition period for new accounting
pronouncements in the event that a newly-issued pronouncement does not specify
transition guide. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting periods starting in
the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2005.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The primary source of the Corporation's income comes from net interest income,
which represents the excess of interest earned on interest earning assets over
the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. This income is subject to
interest rate risk resulting from changes in interest rates. The most
significant component of the Corporation's interest earning assets is its loan
portfolio. In addition to the aforementioned interest rate risk, the portfolio
is subject to credit risk.

Since the beginning of 2005 through the end of the 2005 third quarter, the
Federal Reserve Bank has raised the target federal funds interest rate from
2.25% to 3.75%. Concurrently, the spread between the three-month U.S. Treasury
bill rate and the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond rate has narrowed from 201 basis
points at the end of 2004 to 16 basis points at the end of September 2005. These
changes in rates have caused the yield curve to flatten during the first three
quarters of 2005 and has led to interest rate compression throughout the banking
industry, leading to generally lower interest rate margins.

While interest rates earned on the Corporation's earning assets have risen due
largely to an increase in the Bank's prime rate from 5.25% at December 31, 2004
to 6.75% at September 30, 2005, the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities
have increased as well.

<PAGE>

During the first nine months of 2005, the Corporation issued $1.4 million of
noncumulative convertible preferred stock in a private offering. The Corporation
also issued an additional $6.8 million of noncumulative preferred stock, net of
underwriting fees. Proceeds from both transactions have been retained at the
holding company until they are needed by the subsidiary bank for deposit growth
or other purposes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income rose 11.8% to $551,000 for the third quarter of 2005 from $493,000
for the same 2004 quarter. Related earnings per share on a diluted basis were
$3.85 and $3.56. Net income increased 26.4% to $1,948,000 for the first three
quarters of 2005 from $1,541,000 for the similar 2004 period. Related earnings
per share on a diluted basis rose to $13.94 from $11.28. Higher net interest
income was the primary reason for the earnings improvement in both periods.
Third quarter 2005 ROE ("return on average common equity") and ROA ("return on
average assets") were 13.60% and .64%, respectively compared to 14.01% and .58%
in 2004. Comparable year-to-date ROE and ROA for 2005 compared to 2004 were
15.92% and .75% and 14.76% and .72%, respectively. The Corporation expects to
experience dilution in both earnings per share and ROE until the newly raised
capital can be leveraged.

Both the third quarter and first three quarters of 2005 and 2004 include the
accretion of deferred income into interest income as an earnings enhancement.
This income was received from the U.S. Treasury Community Development Financial
Institution ("CDFI") Fund for purchasing long-term certificates of deposits from
banks in low-income areas at below market rates and extending credit at
below-market rates to consumers in low-income areas. The amount of the accretion
income recorded as earnings is summarized as follows:

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At September 30, 2005, total assets rose to $367.3 million from $325.3 million
at the end of 2004, while total deposits increased to $313.6 million from $280.9
million, comprising most of this asset growth. Average assets also rose during
the first nine months of 2005, increasing $58.4 million, or 20.4% to $345.2
million from $286.8 million a year earlier. This increase was due primarily to
the acquisition in June 2004 of $80.7 million in money market and time deposits
from two financial institutions, along with the receipt of $20 million in time
deposits from New York State under their Banking Development District Program.

Federal funds sold

Federal funds sold totalled $36.3 million at September 30, 2005 compared to $7
million at the end of 2004, while the related average balance declined slightly
to $21.1 million for the first nine months of 2005 from $21.7 million for the
first nine months of 2004. The increase at the end of September, 2005 resulted
from an increase in short-term municipal deposit balances.

Interest bearing deposits with banks

Average interest bearing deposits with banks declined from $2 million for the
first nine months of 2004 to $843,000 in the first nine months of 2005 due to
the maturity and repayment of deposits issued under the U.S. Treasury CDFI Fund
Bank Enterprise Award Program.

Investments

<PAGE>

The investment securities available for sale portfolio rose to $108.6 million at
September 30, 2005 from $105.3 million at the end of 2004, while the net related
unrealized loss, net of tax, increased to $692,000 from a gain of $106,000 at
the end of 2004 due to the increase in interest rates. Investments held to
maturity decreased to $32 million at the end of September 30, 2005 from $37.2
million at the end of 2004.

Most of the increase in the available for sale portfolio consisted of
mortgage-backed securities, as the Corporation continued to mitigate its
interest rate risk by acquiring securities with relatively short average lives,
and cash flow, which will allow reinvestment of proceeds into higher yielding
investments as rates rise. At September 30, 2005, the Corporation held
mortgage-backed securities with a carrying value totalling $83.5 million,
representing 59.3% of the total investment portfolio. These investments carry a
significant degree of interest rate risk due to the uncertainty of the
underlying prepayment assumptions. However, management has continued to take
steps to mitigate the interest rate risk through the shortening of the maturity
of the available for sale portfolio.

Loans

Loans rose to $172.8 million at September 30, 2005 from $159.4 million at
December 31, 2004, while average loans increased 19.8% to $163.3 million for the
first nine months of 2005 from $136.3 million in the first nine months of 2004.
Most of the increase occurred in the commercial real estate portfolio.

                                     ======   ======      ======   ======

The allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy and is maintained
at a level determined by management to be adequate to provide for inherent
losses in the loan portfolio. The reserve is increased by provisions charged to
operations and recoveries of loan charge-offs. The reserve is based on
management's evaluation of the loan portfolio and several other factors,
including past loan loss experience, general business and economic conditions,
concentrations of credit and the possibility that there may be inherent losses
in the portfolio which cannot currently be identified. Although management uses
the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses
remains an estimate which is subject to significant judgment and short-term
change.

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.
After principal payments are current, delinquent interest payments are credited
to income when received. The following table presents the principal amounts of
nonperforming loans.

Nonperforming loans rose to $2.5 million at September 30, 2005 from $1.2 million
at December 31, 2004 due primarily to increases in commercial and commercial
real estate nonaccrual loans. None of the loans on nonaccrual status exceeds
$300,000. Because management considers collateral values and guarantees
adequate, there were no impairment charges on nonaccrual loans recorded for the
quarters or first nine months ending September 30, 2005 or September 30, 2004.

DEPOSITS

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,
and tend to have high balances and comprised most of the Bank's accounts with
balances of $100,000 or more at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. These
accounts are used for operating and short-term investment purposes by the
municipalities. 0All 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.

Total deposits rose $32.7 million to $313.6 million at September 30, 2005 from
$280.9 million at the end of 2004, while average deposits increased 20.8%, to
$296.8 million for the first nine months of 2005 from $245.6 million for the
first nine months of 2004. These increases occurred due to the aforementioned
deposit acquisition.

<PAGE>

Total demand deposits rose to $34.8 million at September 30, 2005 from $28.5
million at December 31, 2004, while average demand deposits for the first nine
months of 2005 increased to $35.8 million from $34 million for the first nine
months of 2004. The growth in demand deposits resulted from higher municipal
account balances. Total savings accounts, which include passbooks and statement
savings accounts along with money market and Super NOW accounts, rose to $158.7
million at September 30, 2005 from $128.9 million at the end of 2004, while
savings balances averaged $140.9 million in the first nine months of 2005
compared to $122.8 million in the first nine months of 2004. The higher actual
savings balances resulted from higher municipal deposits, while the increase in
average savings resulted primarily from the acquired deposits.

Money market deposit accounts totalled $95.3 million at September 30, 2005
compared to $72.4 million at the end of 2004 and averaged $72.9 million for the
first nine months of 2005 compared to $58 million in the same period of 2004, an
increase of 25.7%. The increase in the actual balance resulted from higher
municipal account balances, while the higher average was due to the deposit
acquisition. Super NOW accounts totalled $30.4 million at September 30, 2005
compared to $22.9 million at the end of 2004, and averaged $33.3 million for the
first half of 2005 compared to $30.6 million in the first half of 2004. The
increases were also due to changes in municipal deposit balances.

Passbook and statement savings accounts totalled $33.0 million at September 30,
2005, compared to $33.6 million at December 31, 2004 and averaged $34.7 million
for the first nine months of 2005, up slightly from $34.2 million for the same
period in 2004.

Time deposits declined to $120 million at September 30, 2005 from $123.5 million
at December 31, 2004, while average time deposits rose to $120.1 million for the
first quarter of 2005 from $88.8 million for the similar 2004 period. The
increase in average time deposits was due to the acquired deposits.

Short-term borrowings

Short-term borrowings totalled $300,000 at the end of the third quarter compared
to $930,000 at December 31, 2004, while the related average balances were $3.1
million for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $694,000 for the first
nine months of 2004. The lower actual balance resulted primarily from a decrease
in federal funds purchased. The higher average balance resulted from increased
repurchase agreements and note option account balances.

Long-term debt

Long-term debt was relatively unchanged at September 30, 2005 from December 31,
2004, as was the related average balance which was $22.6 million for the first
nine months of 2005 compared to $22 million for the same period of 2004.

Capital

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.
Capital levels are managed through asset size and composition, issuance of debt
and equity instruments, treasury stock activities, dividend policies and
retention of earnings.

During the first nine months of 2005, the Corporation issued $1.4 million of
noncumulative convertible preferred stock in a private offering. The Corporation
also issued an additional $6.8 million of noncumulative preferred stock.
Proceeds from both transactions have been retained at the holding company until
they are needed by the subsidiary bank for deposit growth or other purposes.

<PAGE>

At September 30, 2005, the Corporation's leverage, core capital (Tier 1) and
total (Tier 1 plus Tier 2) risked-based capital ratios were 9.40%, 15.71% and
17.11%, respectively, while the Bank's ratios were 6.14%, 10.26% and 11.38%,
respectively.

The Corporation adopted FIN 46R as of December 31, 2003 and elected to
retroactively restate all periods presented. FIN 46R required the Corporation to
deconsolidate its investment in the subsidiary trust formed in connection with
the issuance of trust preferred securities. The deconsolidation of the
subsidiary trusts results in the Corporation reporting on its balance sheet the
subordinated debentures that have been issued from City National Bancshares to
the subsidiary trusts. The adoption of FIN 46R did not have a significant effect
on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. In July 2003, the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System instructed bank holding companies to
continue to include the trust preferred securities in their Tier 1 capital for
regulatory capital purposes until notice is given to the contrary. There can be
no assurance that the Federal Reserve will continue to allow institutions to
include trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital
purposes. As of September 30, 2005, assuming the Corporation was not allowed to
include the $7.0 million in trust preferred securities issued by the subsidiary
trusts in Tier 1 capital, the Corporation would remain "well capitalized."

Capital levels are managed through asset size and composition, issuance of debt
and equity instruments, treasury stock activities, dividend policies and
retention of earnings.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net interest income

In the third quarter of 2005, net interest income on a fully tax equivalent
("FTE") basis rose 13.7% to $2,665,000 from $2,344,000 for the same 2004 period,
while the net interest margin rose to 3.36% from 2.74%. The higher margin
resulted from the investment of the proceeds from the acquired deposits into
longer-term, higher yielding assets.

For the first nine months of 2005, net interest income on a FTE basis rose to
$8,355,000 from $7,256,000 for the same 2004 period, while the related net
interest margin declined to 3.40% from 3.58%. The continued flat yield curve
continued to have a negative impact on the Corporation's net interest margin.

Higher levels of earning assets were the primary contributors to the higher net
interest income in both periods. The increased assets resulted from the
aforementioned deposit acquisition. Interest margin compression, resulting from
a flattening yield curve, where short-term rates have risen faster than
long-term rates, contributed to the lower margin, along with a more conservative
investment strategy with respect to interest rate risk and the necessity of
maintaining the proceeds of the acquired deposits in relatively shorter-term
assets.

Interest income on a tax equivalent basis rose 27.6% in the first nine months of
2005 to $13.4 million compared to $10.5 million for the first nine months of
2004 due to a 21.1% increase in average interest earning assets, to $327.3
million in 2005 from $270.3 million in 2004, as well as an increase of
thirty-seven basis points in the average rate earned on these assets, from 5.08%
in 2004 to 5.45% in 2005.

For the first nine months of 2005, the cost to fund interest earning assets rose
forty-five basis points, from 1.61% to 2.06%. This resulted from increases in
the average rates paid for all interest bearing liabilities.

Interest income from Federal funds sold rose for the first three quarters of
2005 to $438,000 from $188,000 in the similar period due to an increase in the
related yield from 1.15% to 2.78%.

Interest income on deposits with other banks declined during the first three
quarters of 2005 to $18,000 compared with $243,000 a year earlier due to the
maturity in 2004 of $3.5 million of deposits issued under the U.S. Treasury CDFI
Fund Bank Enterprise Award Program.

<PAGE>

Interest income on taxable investment securities rose 34% in the first three
quarters of 2005 compared to the same 2004 period due to an increase in the
average yield. Tax-exempt income was 60.5% higher due to higher volume as the
tax-exempt portfolio average balance increased from $8.9 million in 2004 to
$15.2 million in 2005.

Interest income on loans rose 19.3% in the first nine months of 2005 compared to
the first nine months of 2004 due to higher loan volume as well as due to a
higher average yield on the loan portfolio. The most significant change occurred
in the mortgage portfolio, which averaged $139.5 million in the first nine
months of 2005, compared to $115.1 million a year earlier, an increase of 21.2%.
Average total loans rose 19.8%, to $163.3 million in 2005 compared to $136.3
million a year earlier. The most significant changed occurred in the commercial
real estate portfolio.

Other operating income

Other operating income, including the results of investment securities
transactions, decreased by 15.3% to $591,000 in the third quarter of 2005
compared to $698,000 for the similar 2004 period, while such income decreased by
8.8% to $1,776,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to
$1,948,000 for the first three quarters of 2004. Both reductions resulted
primarily from lower service charges on deposit accounts, which have been
steadily declining due to competitive pressure, along with a decrease in award
income received under the Bank Enterprise Award Program.

Net losses on sales of investment securities rose during the first nine months
of 2005 compared to the similar 2004 period due primarily to investment swaps
used to mitigate interest rate risk by selling securities and purchasing other
securities with different interest rate risk characteristics.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses rose 8.9% in the third quarter of 2005 to $2,479,000
from $2,276,000 in the third quarter of 2004, with the increase attributable
primarily to higher salary expenses, benefit costs, merchant card charges and
grand opening expenses associated with the opening of a new branch office. For
the first nine months of 2005, other operating expenses rose 6.1% to $7.1
million from $6.6 million a year earlier primarily due the same reasons, offset
in part by a $217,000 insurance recovery of a credit card fraud loss incurred
during 2003.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense as a percentage of pretax income was 26.3% in the third
quarter of 2005 compared to 27.3% in the third quarter of 2004. For the first
nine months of 2005 the percentage was 28.9% compared to 29.7% a year earlier.
Both reductions reflect higher levels of tax-exempt investment income.

Provision for loan losses

The provision decreased in the third quarter of 2005 to $15,000 from $27,000 for
the similar quarter in 2004, while the provision decreased to $92,000 in the
first three quarters of 2005 from $195,000 in the comparable 2004 period. Both
reductions were due to lower loan charge-offs.

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.

<PAGE>

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.
Finally, the holding company utilizes the capital markets when necessary, having
raised $8.1 million through the issuance of preferred stock during the first
three quarters of 2005.

The major contribution during the first nine months of 2005 from operating
activities to the Corporation's liquidity came from net income, while the
highest use of cash was for the origination of loans to be sold in the secondary
market.

Net cash used in investing activities was primarily for purchases 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 available for sale. The
volume of investment purchases declined compared to 2004 due to the investment
during 2004 of the deposit acquisition proceeds.

The major contribution during the first nine months of 2005 from financing
activities was from the deposit increase, while there were no significant uses
of funds.

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 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 does not
presently utilize derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk.

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.

The Corporation has continued efforts to become more asset sensitive during 2005
in anticipation of continued increasing interest rates. Based on the results of
the most recent interest simulation model, if interest rates decreased 200 basis
points from current rates in an immediate and parallel shock, net income would
decrease 5.1%. If rates rose 200 basis points, net income would decrease by
7.3%.

Item 4

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

<PAGE>

During the third quarter of 2005, the Corporation carried out an evaluation,
under the supervision of the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer and with the participation of the Corporation's management,
including the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation's
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act
Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information
relating to the Corporation's financial statements required to be included in
the Corporation's periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. No
changes were made in the Corporation's internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their
evaluation.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
