Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

         Citizens Bancshares of Southwest Florida, Inc. was incorporated in
Florida in September 1998 to serve as a holding company for Citizens National
Bank of Southwest Florida, a national banking association then in organization.
For approximately the first eleven months following its incorporation, the main
activities of Citizens Bancshares centered on applying for a national bank
charter, applying to become a bank holding company, hiring and training bank
employees, preparing the banking facilities and premises for opening, and
conducting an initial public offering of common stock to raise a minimum of $10
million to fund the startup of Citizens National Bank. By August 1999, Citizens
Bancshares had received subscriptions to purchase common stock in an amount in
excess of the required minimum, and on August 24, 1999, Citizens National Bank
commenced operations at its office located at 3401 Tamiami Trail North in
Naples, Florida.

                               Financial Condition

         Management continuously monitors the financial condition of Citizens
National Bank in order to maintain sufficient capital to support the operations
of Citizens National Bank and Citizens Bancshares and to protect the depositors
of Citizens National Bank. Further discussion of significant items affecting
Citizens National Bank's financial condition are discussed below.

Asset Quality,

         A major key to long-term earnings growth is the maintenance of a
high-quality loan portfolio. Citizens National Bank's directive in this regard
is carried out through its policies and procedures for extending credit to
Citizens National Bank's customers. The goal of these policies and procedures is
to provide a sound basis for new credit extensions and an early recognition of
problem assets to allow the most flexibility in their timely disposition.

         Principal banking operations commenced on August 24, 1999, and
management has not identified any non-performing assets. Additions to the
allowance for loan losses will be made periodically to maintain the allowance at
an appropriate level based upon management's analysis of potential risk in the
loan portfolio. The amount of the loan loss provision will generally be
determined by an evaluation of the level of loans outstanding, the level of
non-performing loans, historical loan loss experience, delinquency trends, the
amount of actual losses charged to the reserve in a given period, and assessment
of present and anticipated economic conditions.

Liquidity

         Liquidity represents the ability to provide steady sources of funds for
loan commitments and investment activities, as well as to maintain sufficient
funds to cover deposit withdrawals and payment of debt and operating
obligations. Citizens National Bank's liquidity position was initially
established through Citizens Bancshares' purchase of $9,700,000 of the common
stock of Citizens National Bank. As Citizens National Bank grows, liquidity
needs can be met either by converting assets to cash or by attracting new
deposits. Citizens National Bank had deposits of $27,426,049 at June 30, 2000.
Below are the pertinent liquidity balances and ratios at June 30, 2000.

                                                                         At
                                                                  June 30, 2000
                                                                  -------------
         Cash and cash equivalents............................     $ 9,860,559
         Securities available for sale........................     $    50,760
         CDs over $100,000 to total deposits ratio............            48.9%
         Loan to deposit ratio................................            78.9%

         Cash and cash equivalents are the primary source of liquidity. At June
30, 2000, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $9.9 million, representing 28.0%
of total assets. This represents a decrease of approximately $10.4 million in
cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 1999, resulting primarily from an
increased volume of loans originated by Citizens National Bank, particularly
during the second quarter of 2000. Securities available for sale provide a
secondary source of liquidity. None of the $1.0 million in Citizens National
Bank's securities portfolio is scheduled to mature in 2000.

         At June 30, 2000, large denomination certificates accounted for 48.9%
of total deposits. Large denomination CDs are generally more volatile than other
deposits. As a result, management continually monitors the competitiveness of
the rates it pays on its large denomination CDS and periodically adjusts its
rates in accordance with market demands. Significant withdrawals of large
denomination CDs may have a material adverse effect on Citizens National Bank's
liquidity. Management believes that since a majority of the above certificates
were obtained from Citizens National Bank customers residing in Collier County,
Florida, the volatility of such deposits is lower than if such deposits were
obtained from depositors residing outside of Collier County, as outside
depositors are generally considered to be more likely to be interest rate
sensitive.

         Management knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or
uncertainties that should result in or are reasonably likely to result in
Citizens Bancshares' liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way in
the foreseeable future.

                                Capital Adequacy

         There are two primary measures of capital adequacy for banks and bank
holding companies: (i) risk-based capital guidelines and (ii) the leverage
ratio.

         The risk-based capital guidelines measure the amount of a bank's
required capital in relation to the degree of risk perceived in its assets and
its off-balance sheet items. Under the risk-based capital guidelines, capital is
divided into two "tiers." Tier 1 capital consists of common shareholders'
equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and any related surplus and
minority interest in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries. Goodwill
is subtracted from the total. Tier 2 capital consists of the allowance for loan
losses, hybrid capital instruments, term subordinated debt and intermediate term
preferred stock:

         Banks are required to maintain a minimum risk-based capital ratio of
8.0% , with at least 4.0% consisting of Tier 1 capital.

         The second measure of capital adequacy is the leverage ratio, which is
computed by dividing Tier 1 capital into average total assets. The OCC has
established a 4.0% minimum leverage ratio requirement for all banks that are not
rated CAMELS 1.

         The table below illustrates Citizens National Bank's and Citizen
Bancshares' regulatory capital ratios at June 30, 2000:

                              Results of Operations

         Since Citizens National Bank did not begin operations until the third
quarter of 1999, a comparison of the company's results of operations for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 to those for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 would
not be meaningful. This discussion will therefore concentrate on results of
operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

         Net income (loss) for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 amounted to
$(294,870), or $(.25) per share. The following is a brief discussion of the more
significant components of net income:

         (a) Net interest income represents the difference between interest
             received on interest earning assets and interest paid on interest
             bearing liabilities. The following table sets forth the main
             components of interest earning assets and interest bearing
             liabilities for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

                        Interest                                                   Interest
                     Earning Assets/                             Average            Income/          Yield/

                   Securities..............................   $  3,369,153      $       55,189        6.64%
                   Loans...................................   $ 15,477,255      $      405,657       10.63%
                                                              ------------      --------------       ------
                             Total.........................   $ 30,115,540      $      637,098        8.58%
                   Deposits................................   $ 25,401,656      $      303,771        4.85%
                   Net interest income.....................                     $      333,329        3.73%
                   Net yield on earning assets.............                                           4.49%
</TABLE>

         (b) At December 31, 1999, the allowance for loan losses amounted to
             $26,885. During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, an additional
             $86,220 was provided to the allowance for loan losses. There has
             been one charge-off of $815.05 since the opening of Citizens
             National Bank. As of June 30, 2000, management considers the
             allowance for loan losses to be adequate to absorb expected future
             losses. However, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in
             future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or
             that additional provisions to the allowance will not be required.

         (c) Non-interest income, which consists primarily of service fees on
             deposit accounts and other miscellaneous fees, amounted to $8,837,
             or an annualized 0.11% of average assets, for the quarter ended
             June 30, 2000.

         (d) Non-interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 amounted
             to $576,139. As a percent of total average assets, non-interest
             expense amounted to 6.95 %. The components of non-interest expense
             for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 are set forth below:

              Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

         Citizens Bancshares may, from time to time, make written or oral
forward-looking statements, including statements contained in Citizens
Bancshares' filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and its reports
to stockholders. Such forward-looking statements are made based on management's
belief as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to,
management pursuant to "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Citizens Bancshares' actual results may differ
materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements due
to a variety of factors, including governmental monetary and fiscal policies,
deposit levels, loan demand, loan collateral values, securities portfolio values
and interest rate risk management; the effects of competition in the banking
business from other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, mortgage
banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerage
firms, insurance companies, money market mutual funds and other financial
institutions operating in Citizens Bancshares' market area and elsewhere,
including institutions operating through the Internet; changes in government
regulations relating to the banking industry, including regulations relating to
branching and acquisitions; failure of assumptions underlying the establishment
of reserves for loan losses, including the value of collateral underlying
delinquent loans, and other factors. Citizens Bancshares cautions that such
factors are not exclusive. Citizens Bancshares does not undertake to update any
forward-looking statements that may be made from time to time by, or on behalf
