Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION
Citizens First Financial Corp. is the holding company for Citizens
Savings Bank F.S.B. The Bank has two wholly-owned service corporations, CSL
Service Corporation and Fairbury Service Corp. CSL Service Corporation is an
Illinois-chartered corporation that has been inactive, but began the sale of
tax-deferred annuities at the end of 1996. Fairbury Financial Services Corp. is
an Illinois-chartered corporation that currently services previously sold
tax-deferred annuities and long-term care insurance policies that it sold on an
agency basis.
On March 2, 1998, the Company received approval from the Office of
Thrift Supervision ("OTS") for the repurchase of 5% of its common stock. As of
March 31, 1998 the Company had not repurchased any shares under this plan.
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 1998 AND DECEMBER 31, 1997
Total assets increased from $273.6 million at December 31, 1997 to
$279.8 million at March 31, 1998. The $6.2 million or 2.3% increase was due to
the increase in interest bearing demand deposits.
Cash and cash equivalents increased from $7,939,000 at December 31,
1997 to $17,733,000 at March 31, 1998, an increase of $9,794,000 or 123.4%. This
increase was the result of proceeds from the increased loan sales during the
first quarter of 1998 and the sale and principal reduction of investment
securities, which decreased from $19,302,000 at December 31, 1997 to $17,883,000
at March 31, 1998, a decrease of $1,419,000 or 7.4%.
Net loans, including loans held for sale, decreased from $231,863,000
at December 31, 1997 to $229,270,000 at March 31,1998, a decrease of $2,593,000
or 1.1%.
Deposits increased from $198,633,000 at December 31, 1997 to
$201,320,000 at March 31, 1998, an increase of $2,687,000 or 1.4%. Advances by
borrowers for taxes and insurance increased from $694,000 at December 31, 1997
to $1,069,000 at March 31, 1998, an increase of $375,000 or 54.0%. This balance
increased because of the payments by borrowers for real estate taxes that will
not be remitted until the second and third quarters of 1998.
Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (the "FHLB")
increased from $33,944,000 at December 31, 1997 to $35,660,000 at March 31,
1998, an increase of $1,716,000 or 5.0%.
Total stockholders' equity capital increased by $748,000 or 2.0%, from
$37,970,000 at December 31, 1997 to $38,718,000 at March 31, 1998. The increase
was caused by the earnings of the Company during the three months ended March
31, 1998 and the allocation of shares in the Company's stock-based compensation
plans.

<PAGE>
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND
MARCH 31, 1997
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased by
$90,000 from $420,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $510,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase was primarily due to
increased net interest income and net gains on loan sales which was partially
offset by increased noninterest expense.
INTEREST INCOME
Interest on loans increased by $514,000 or 12.0%, from $4,297,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $4,811,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998. The increase was due to a higher average balance of loans
financed by borrowings from the FHLB. The borrowings were invested primarily in
one-to-four family and commercial loans. Interest on investments decreased from
$526,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $379,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, a decrease of $147,000 or 28.0%.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest on savings deposits remained relatively constant, decreasing
$10,000 or 0.4%, from $2,412,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to
$2,402,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The interest on borrowings
increased by $139,000 or 39.0%, from $356,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1997 to $495,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as a result of
increased average borrowings from the FHLB in 1998.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Total noninterest income increased by $111,000 or 34.5%, from $322,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $433,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net gains on
loan sales. Net gains on loan sales increased by $204,000 or 425.0%, from
$48,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $252,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, because of an increase in loan sales in the three
months ended March 31, 1998.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Total noninterest expense increased by $174,000 or 10.8%, from
$1,614,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $1,788,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998. Salaries and benefits increased by $76,000 or 8.1%,
from $939,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $1,015,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998, due to the increase in the price of the
Company's stock which is used to fund the ESOP stock based compensation program
and the additional compensation expense from the new full-service facility that
was opened in the third quarter of 1997. Net occupancy expenses increased by
$45,000 or 20.7%, from $217,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to
$262,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, primarily because of the new
full-service office and administrative facility. Deposit insurance/OTS expense
increased by $24,000, from $25,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to
$49,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 because of the utilization of
a deposit insurance credit utilized in the first quarter of 1997.

<PAGE>
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses increased from $75,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 to $105,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1998 an increase of $30,000 or 40.0%. The increase was made because of the
increase in the origination of commercial loans, the continued growth of the
loan portfolio and management's evaluation of the loan portfolio. While
management believes that the allowance for loan losses is sufficient based on
information currently available, no assurances can be made that future events or
conditions or regulatory directives will not result in increased provisions for
loan losses or additions to the Bank's allowance for losses which may adversely
affect net income.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Income tax expense increased from $268,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 to $323,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, an
increase of $55,000 or 20.5%. The increase was due to the increase in net income
for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The effective tax rates for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 were 38.8% and 39.0%, respectively.

<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and
interest payments on loans and securities, sales of loans and securities and
FHLB advances. While maturing and scheduled amortization of loans are
predictable sources of funds, deposit outflows and mortgage prepayments are
greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and
competition. The Bank's liquidity requirement, which may be varied at the
direction of the OTS depending on economic conditions and deposit flows, is
based upon a percentage of the Bank's deposits and short-term borrowings. The
Bank is currently required by the OTS to maintain a ratio of liquid assets of
4.0%. At March 31, 1998 and 1997, the Bank's liquidity ratio was 11.68% and
16.40%, respectively. Management maintains its liquid assets in accordance with
regulatory requirements.
At March 31, 1998, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital
requirements with Tier 1 core capital of $30.6 million, or 11.2% of adjusted
assets, which is above the required level of $10.9 million or 4.0%; and
risk-based capital of $31.5 million or 18.1% of risk-weighted assets, which is
above the required level of $13.9 million or 8.0%.
The Company's most liquid assets are cash and interest-bearing demand
accounts. The level of these accounts is dependent on the operating, financing,
lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 1998,
cash and interest-bearing deposits totaled $17.7 million or 6.3% of the
Company's total assets.
The Company has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional
funds arises, including FHLB advances. At March 31, 1998, the Bank had
outstanding advances with the FHLB of $35.7 million. The FHLB maintains two
limitations on the availability based on FHLB stock ownership and total assets.
The Bank currently meets the stock limitation; however, this limit may be raised
by the purchase of additional FHLB stock. Based on the total assets limitations,
the Bank may increase its borrowings with the FHLB by $60.0 million. Depending
upon market conditions and the pricing of deposit products and FHLB borrowings,
the Bank may utilize FHLB advances to fund loan originations.
At March 31, 1998 the Bank had commitments to originate loans and
unused lines of credit totaling $27.0 million. Certificate accounts which are
scheduled to mature in one year or less from March 31, 1998 totaled $106.9
million. The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds to meet its
current loan commitments and maturing deposits.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES
In June, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" ("SFAS No. 130"), which establishes standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general
purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as "the change
in equity of a business enterprise during a period, except those resulting
transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It
includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from
investment by owners and distributions to owners." The comprehensive income
and related cumulative equity impact of comprehensive income items will be
required to be disclosed prominently as part of the notes to the financial
statements. Only the impact of unrealized gains or losses on securities
available for sale is expected to be disclosed as an additional component of
the Company's income under the requirements of SFAS No. 130. This statement
became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
Accordingly, the Company adopted the provisions set forth in SFAS No. 130
during the first quarter of 1998.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Year 2000 compliance issue exists because many computer systems and
applications currently use two-digit fields to designate a year. As the century
date change occurs, date-sensitive systems may either fail or not operate
properly unless the underlying programs are modified or replaced.
The Bank has initiated a program to assure that all computer
applications will be Year 2000 compliant. This program includes the monitoring
and testing of the Bank's outside data processing provider and other vendors
Year 2000 compliance progress.
The Bank is continuing to assess the extent of programming changes
required to address this issue. Although final cost estimates have not been
determined, it is not expected that these expenses will have a material adverse
impact on the Company and the Bank's financial condition, liquidity, or results
of operations.
Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Bank is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its
interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits with short and medium term
maturities, mature or reprice at different rates than our interest earning
assets. Although having liabilities mature or reprice less frequently on average
than assets will be beneficial in times of rising interest rates, such an asset
liability structure will result in lower net income during period of declining
interest rates, unless offset by other factors.
The Bank believes it is critical to manage the relationship between interest
rates and the effect on its net portfolio value ("NPV"). This approach
calculates the difference between the present value of expected cash flows
from assets and the present value of expected cash flows from liabilities, as
well as cash flows from off-balance sheet contracts. The Bank manages assets
and liabilities within the context of the marketplace, regulatory
limitations, and within its operation on the amount of change in NPV which is
acceptable given interest rate changes.

<PAGE>
Presented below, as of December 31, 1997, is an analysis performed the OTS of
the Bank's interest rate risk as measured by changes in NPV for instantaneous
and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve, in 100 basis point
increments, up and down 400 basis points. This data is presented as of
December 31, 1997 since data from the most recent quarter (March 31, 1998) is
not yet available from the OTS. Management believes there has been no
significant change in interest rate risk measures since December 31, 1997.

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are
inherent in the methods of analysis presented above. For example, although
certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to
repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest
rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may
fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates
on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain
assets, such as adjustable loans, have features which restrict changes in
interest rates on a short term basis and over the life of the asset. Finally,
the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of
an interest rate increase. The Company considers all of these factors in
monitoring its exposure to interest rate risk.
