· For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, consolidated net income attributable to City National Corporation was $15.7 million and consolidated net income available to common shareholders was $10.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share. For the year-earlier quarter, consolidated net income attributable to City National Corporation was $7.5 million and consolidated net income available to common shareholders was $2.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted common share. The increase in net income available to common shareholders is primarily due to higher net interest income resulting from the Companys acquisition of Imperial Capital Bank (ICB), as well as a net securities gain in the first quarter of 2010 compared to a net securities loss in the year-earlier period, offset by increases in noninterest expense.

The increase from the year-ago period largely reflected the Companys strong deposit growth as well as its acquisition of ICB on December 18, 2009. Total average assets increased to $20.27 billion for the first quarter of 2010 from $19.10 billion for the fourth quarter of 2009 and $16.41 billion for the first quarter of 2009.

The decrease in period end deposits from December 31, 2009 was due to planned withdrawals of high-priced certificates of deposits that had been assumed in the ICB acquisition.
