                         Report of Independent Auditors


Administrative Committee
Citizens Banking Corporation Amended
 and Restated Section 401(k) Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of
the Citizens Banking Corporation Amended and Restated Section 401(k) Plan as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and for the related statements of changes in net
assets for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental Schedule of Assets
Held for Investment Purposes at End of Year as of December 31, 1999, is
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of
the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the
Department for Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule
is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description provides only general information. Participants should
refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.

The Citizens Banking Corporation Amended and Restated Section 401(k) Plan (the
"Plan") is a defined contribution plan which includes a 401(k) salary deferral
feature. The Plan covers substantially all employees of Citizens Banking
Corporation (the "Corporation") and its banking subsidiaries including salaried
employees and hourly employees with over 1,000 hours of credited service. The
Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974 (ERISA).

Participants may contribute on a before-tax basis up to 15% of their annual
compensation (not to exceed $10,000 in 1999 and 1998) and on an after-tax basis
up to 10% of their compensation.

The Corporation will match the participant's pre-tax contribution up to 6% of
the participants compensation (includes regular base salary or wages,
commissions, overtime, shift premiums, incentive pay and referral pay). The
Corporation will match 100% on the first 3% of pre-tax salary deferral and 50%
on the next 3% of pre-tax salary deferral, for a total of a 75% match on a 6%
pre-tax salary deferral. In addition, a retiree medical savings account was
established for each participant. One third of the employer matching
contribution is automatically directed into this account. Employees may not
borrow against any monies residing in this account.

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and the Corporation's
matching contributions plus actual earnings thereon.

All administrative costs of the plan are paid by the Corporation.





                                                                               4

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)



1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Corporation has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

Investments are stated at aggregate fair value. Securities traded on a national
securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last
business day of the year; investments traded in the over-the-counter market and
listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the
average of the last reported bid and ask prices.

The participants loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which
approximate fair value.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATION

Certain amounts in the 1998 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1999 presentation.




                                                                               5

3. INVESTMENTS

(including investments purchased, sold as well as held during the year)

follows:

3. INVESTMENT (CONTINUED)

The Plan invests certain fund assets in the Golden Oak series of mutual funds.
Citizens Bank, a subsidiary of Citizens Banking Corporation, serves as the
investment advisor to these funds. The mutual fund portfolios were established
pursuant to the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Investments
within these portfolios were made in accordance with the applicable Department
of Labor rules and regulations concerning the investment of qualified plan
assets into mutual funds wherein the investment advisor to the portfolio is a
party-in-interest with respect to the plan.

The following is a summary of transactions (at cost) with parties-in-interest:

4. INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan has applied for but has not received a determination letter from the
Internal Revenue Service stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). However, the Plan Administrator
believes that the Plan is qualified and, therefore, the related trust is exempt
from taxation.

5. BENEFITS PAYABLE
Assets available for plan benefits include amounts allocated for approved
distributions. Such balances amounted to $0 and $1,922,682 at December 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively. Such amounts are shown as a liability on the Plan's Form
5500.
