Item 2

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

The purpose of this analysis is to provide information relevant to
understanding and assessing the Corporation's results of operations for the
first quarter of the current and previous years and financial condition at the
end of the current quarter and previous year-end.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This management's discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
statements are not historical facts and include expressions about management's
expectations about new and existing programs and products, relationships,
opportunities, and market conditions. Such forward-looking statements involve
certain risks and uncertainties. These include, but are not limited to,
unanticipated changes in the direction of interest rates, effective income tax
rates, loan prepayment assumptions, deposit growth, the direction of the economy
in New Jersey and New York, continued levels of loan quality, continued
relationships with major customers as well as the effects of general economic
conditions and legal and regulatory issues and changes in tax regulations.
Actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. The
Corporation assumes no obligation for updating any such forward-looking
statement at any time.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The primary source of the Corporation's income comes from net interest income,
which represents the excess of interest earned on 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 the loan
portfolio. In addition to the aforementioned interest rate risk, the portfolio
is subject to credit risk.

During the first quarter, the Corporation issued $800,000 of noncumulative
convertible preferred stock in a private offering. Proceeds have been retained
at the holding company until they are needed by the subsidiary bank to sustain
capital levels for deposit growth or other purposes.

Net income increased 61% to $686,000 for the first quarter of 2005 from $426,000
for the same 2004 quarter due primarily to a 13.2% increase in net interest
income. Related earnings per share on a diluted basis were $5.01 and $3.12.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At March 31, 2005, total assets increased to $340.6 million from $325.3 million
at the end of 2004, while total deposits rose to $294.7 million from $280.9
million. Higher municipal deposit balances were primarily responsible for this
growth. Average assets also rose during the first quarter of 2005, increasing
$101.5 million, or 41.5% to $345.9 million from $244.4 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 deposits from New York State under their
Banking Development District Program.

Federal funds sold

Federal funds sold increased to $12.5 million at March 31, 2005 from $7 million
at the end of 2004, while the related average balance rose to $32.5 million for
the first three months of 2005 from $16 million for the first three months of
2004. The increase in both balances was due to temporary excess liquidity
resulting from short-term higher municipal deposits.

Investments

The investment securities available for sale ("AFS") portfolio rose to $108.9
million at March 31, 2005 from $105.3 million at the end of 2004, while the net
related unrealized loss, net of tax, increased to $644,000 from a gain of
$106,000 at the end of 2004. Investments held to maturity ("HTM") decreased to
$36.2 million at March 31, 2005 from $37.2 million at the end of 2004.

Most of the increase in the available for sale ("AFS") portfolio consisted of
mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), 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 March 31, 2005, the Corporation held
mortgage-backed securities with a carrying value totalling $84.1 million,
representing 58% of the total investment portfolio. These investments carry a
significant degree of interest rate risk due to the uncertainty of the
underlying prepayment assumptions.

                                       7
<PAGE>

The weighted average life of the portfolio was 6.41 years at March 31, 2005
compared to 5.79 years at the end of 2004. The increase occurred due to the
increase in interest rates during the first quarter of 2005, resulting in the
extension of the mortgage-backed securities weighted average lives.

Loans

Loans rose to $162 million at March 31, 2005 from $159.4 million December 31,
2004, while average loans increased to $158 million for the first three months
of 2005 from $129.1 million in the first three months of 2004. Most of the
increase occurred in the commercial real estate portfolio.

Provision and allowance for loan losses

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

                                     ======   ======
</TABLE>

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 allowance is increased by provisions charged
to operations and recoveries of loan charge-offs. The allowance 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.

There were no impairment charges on nonaccrual loans recorded for the quarters
ending March 31, 2005 or March 31, 2004.

DEPOSITS

Total deposits rose $13.8 million to $294.7 million at March 31, 2005 from
$280.9 million at the end of 2004, while average deposits rose 46.6%, to $301.2
million for the first three months of 2005 from $205.5 million for the first
three months of 2004. The increase at the end of the first quarter occurred
primarily due to higher municipal balances, while the average balance increase
was due primarily to the aforementioned deposit acquisition and the New York
State Banking Development District deposits.

Total demand deposits rose from $28.5 million at December 31, 2004 to $35.8
million at March 31, 2005, while average demand deposits for the first three
months of 2005 increased to $35.6 million from $31.9 million for the first three
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 $138.4
million at March 31, 2005 from $128.9 million at the end of 2004, while savings
balances averaged $143.7 million in the first three months of 2005 compared to
$115.1 million in the first three months of 2004. This increase in average
savings resulted primarily from the acquired deposits. Time deposits declined to
$120.5 million at March 31, 2005 from $123.5 million at December 31, 2004, while
average time deposits rose to $121.9 million for the first quarter of 2005 from
$58.5 million for the similar 2004 quarter. The increase was due to the acquired
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 March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. These
accounts are used for operating and short-term investment purposes by the
municipalities. 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

There were no short-term borrowings at the end of the first quarter, compared to
$930,000 at December 31, 2004, while the related average balances were $334,000
for the first three months of 2005 compared to $864,000 for the first three
months of 2004. The lower balances resulted from decreased repurchase agreement
and note option account balances.

Long-term debt

Long-term debt was unchanged at March 31, 2005 from December 31, 2004, while the
related average balance was $22.8 million for the first quarter of 2005 compared
to $20.9 million for the same period in 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 quarter, the Corporation issued $800,000 of noncumulative
convertible preferred stock in a private offering. Proceeds have been retained
at the holding company until they are needed by the subsidiary bank to sustain
capital levels for deposit growth or other purposes.

At March 31, 2005, the Corporation's leverage, core capital (Tier 1) and total
(Tier 1 plus Tier 2) risked-based capital ratios were 6.62%, 12.26% and 14.41%,
respectively, while the Bank's ratios were 5.95%, 11.02% and 12.23%. Proceeds
from the subordinated debt securities issued in March, 2004 have been retained
at the parent company, but are available to be downstreamed to the Bank at any
time to support deposit growth or for other purposes.

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 March 31, 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."

Net interest income

On a fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis, net interest income rose $340,000,
or 14% to $2,769,000 in the first quarter of 2005 from $2,429,000 in 2004, while
the related net interest margin declined 91 basis points, to 3.38% from 4.27%.
Higher levels of earning assets, which averaged $328.7 million in the first
quarter of 2005 compared to $227.3 million in the first quarter of 2004, was the
primary contributor to the higher net interest income. 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 and the necessity of maintaining
the proceeds of the acquired deposits in relatively short-term assets.

Interest income on a FTE basis increased $1,015,000, or 31.7% in the first
quarter of 2005 primarily due to the aforementioned increase in earning assets.
The yield on interest earning assets fell 34 basis points, from 5.66% to 5.32%.
The increase in earning assets occurred primarily in the investment portfolio.

Interest income from Federal funds sold rose by 432.4%, due to higher volume,
which averaged to $32.5 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared to $16.4
million in the first quarter of 2004, and a higher federal funds rate. The
federal funds target rate was raised 175 basis points by the Federal Reserve
Bank since the first quarter of 2004. The related yield increased from 92 basis
points to 2.46%.

Interest income on taxable investment securities rose $509,000 in 2005 due to
higher volume resulting from the investment of the acquired deposit proceeds.
The taxable investment portfolio averaged $121.9 million in 2005 compared to
$70.1 million in 2004 with most of the increase occurring in mortgage-backed
agency securities. Tax-exempt income was 78.1% higher due to increased volume as
the tax-exempt portfolio averaged $15.4 million in 2005 compared to $8.3 million
in 2004.

Interest income on loans rose 18.7% due primarily to higher loan volume. The
most significant change occurred in the commercial real estate portfolio.

Interest expense rose 83.9% in 2005, as the average rate paid on interest
bearing liabilities rose by 44 basis points, from 1.46% to 1.90%. Most of this
increase was due to the higher money market and time deposit levels that
resulted from the deposit acquisition.

                                       10

<PAGE>

Interest expense on money market accounts increased to $406,000 for the first
quarter of 2005 from $131,000 for the first quarter of 2004 due to the deposit
acquisition and an increase in the average rate paid, which rose to 2.11% from
1.10%.

Interest expense on Super NOW deposits increased by 13% in the 2005 first
quarter compared to a year earlier due to a higher average rate paid in 2005.

Interest expense on time deposits rose 100% for the first quarter of 2005
compared to a year earlier due primarily to the deposit acquisition.

Other operating income

Other operating income, including the results of investment securities
transactions, rose by $73,000 in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the
similar 2004 period, due primarily to higher loan syndication and letter of
credit fees along with an increase in income from an unconsolidated leasing
company in which the Bank owns a minority interest.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses increased $107,000, or 4.9 % in the first quarter of
2005 to $2,303,000 from $2,196,000 in the first quarter of 2004, with the
increase attributable primarily to higher legal, marketing, data processing and
merchant card processing expenses, offset in part by lower audit fees.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense increased in the first quarter of 2005 from the similar 2004
period due to higher levels of taxable income. Income tax expense as a
percentage of pretax income declined in the first quarter of 2005 to 30.5%
compared to 31.6% for the first quarter of 2004 due to higher tax-exempt income.

Provision for loan losses

The provision decreased to $40,000 in the first quarter of 2005 from $126,000 in
the comparable 2004 period due to higher loan charge-offs in the 2004 first
quarter than in the first quarter of 2005, when there were no 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.

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 2005 from operating
activities to the Corporation's liquidity came from net income. 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 highest source of
cash provided by financing activities resulted from an increase in deposits,
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

                                       11

<PAGE>

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.

Based on the results of the most recent interest simulation model, the
Corporation is interest rate sensitive in either a rates-up or rates-down
environment. If interest rates rose 300 basis points from current rates in an
immediate and parallel shock, net income would decrease 13.5%; if rates
decreased 300 basis points, net income would decline by 56.8%.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the
assistance of other members of the Corporation's management, have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as of the
end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such
evaluation, the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer have concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures
are effective.

The Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have also
concluded that there have not been any changes in the Corporation's internal
control over financial reporting that has a materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation's internal control over
financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the normal course of business, the Corporation or its subsidiary may, from
time to time, be party to various legal proceedings relating to the conduct of
its business. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial
statements will not be materially affected by the outcome of any pending legal
proceedings.

During 2003, the Bank incurred a credit card fraud loss of $295,000. A recovery
of $228,000 was received in April, 2005 from its fidelity insurance carrier.
