NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
   
The foregoing financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of
Management, all adjustments (comprising all normal recurring accruals) 
necessary for a fair presentation of financial statements have been included.  
A summary of Bancorporation's significant accounting policies is set forth 
in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Bancorporation's 
Annual Report on Form 10-K for 1993.  The significant accounting policies 
used during the current quarter are unchanged from those disclosed in the 
1993 Annual Report.


Income Taxes:

Effective January 1, 1993, Bancorporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes."  The
adoption of SFAS 109 changes Bancorporation's method of accounting for income
taxes from the deferred method (APB 11) to an asset and liability approach.
Previously Bancorporation deferred the past tax effects of timing, 
differences between financial reporting and taxable income.  The asset and 
liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and 
assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences 
between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of other assets and 
liabilities.  Further, SFAS 109 requires a valuation allowance be provided 
against deferred tax assets unless management considers it more likely than 
not that such assets will be realized.  Based on current facts and 
circumstances, management believes that deferred tax assets are reasonably 
assured of realization and, accordingly, does not believe that a valuation 
allowance is necessary.  The cumulative effect to Bancorporation's results of 
operations from the implementation of the new accounting standard was 
$221,000.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities recorded pursuant to SFAS 109 
are composed of the following at:
                                        June 30, 1994  June 30, 1993

Investment Securities:

Bancorporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 
(SFAS 115), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity 
Securities.  "Management has reviewed the investment securities portfolio and 
classified all securities, except equity securities, as held-to-maturity and 
carried at amortized cost since Bancorporation has both the positive intent 
and ability to hold these securities to maturity.  Equity securities, as 
required by SFAS 115, are classified as available-for-sale and carried at 
estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in 
stockholders' equity on an after-tax basis.

SUMMARY:

First Citizens Bancorporation reported net income of $2,372,000 for the second
quarter of 1994, a 36.24% decrease from the $3,720,000 for the second quarter 
a year ago.  Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1994 was 
$5,073,000, a 26.23% decrease from the $6,877,000 reported for the same 
period in 1993.  The downturn in earnings is attributable to the decline in 
net interest margin and interest spreads, along with increased cost of 
operations.

Average loans net of unearned interest for the quarter ended June 30, 1994
increased $64,819,000 or 7.87% when compared to the same period in 1993, with 
a yield of 8.42% for the second quarter of 1994.  Average taxable and 
non-taxable investment securities for the second quarter of 1994 increased by 
$27,039,000 or 5.78% from the second quarter of 1993, with a taxable 
equivalent yield of 4.83% for the second quarter of 1994.  Average loans net 
of unearned interest for the six months ended June 30, 1994 increased 
$66,099,000 or 8.07%  from the same period in 1993, with a yield of 8.39% for 
the six months ended June 30, 1994.  Average taxable and non-taxable 
investment securities for the six months ended June 30, 1994 increased by 
$16,197,000 or 3.50% from the same period in 1993, with a taxable equivalent 
yield of 4.92% for the first six months of 1994.

For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994, noninterest income 
declined slightly by $91,000 or 1.93% and $140,000 or 1.51%, respectively, as 
compared to the same periods in 1993.  For the quarter and six months ended 
June 30, 1994, noninterest expense increased $818,000 or 5.81% and $2,009,000 
or 7.20%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1993.  The 
increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to increased salary, wage 
and employee benefit costs and overall operating operating expenses.

Net income per common share for the quarter ended June 30, 1994 decreased 
36.76% to $2.46, as compared to $3.89 for the second quarter of 1993.  Net 
income per common share for the six months ended June 30, 1994 decreased 
26.60% to $5.27, as compared to $7.18 for the same period in 1993.

Book value per common share as of June 30, 1994 increased 20.70% to $95.63, 
as compared to $79.23 for the same period in 1993.

As illustrated in the following table, Tier 1 capital was 8.50% at June 30, 
1994 as compared to 8.03% at June 30, 1993.  Total risk based capital was 
10.75% at June 30, 1994 as compared to 10.56% at June 30, 1993.  The risk 
based capital ratios were calculated using the 1992 Final Rules as defined 
by Federal regulators.

Item 5.  Other Information.

On June 3, 1994, Registrant purchased the assets and assumed the liabilities 
of four (4) offices of Cooper River Federal Savings Association of which two 
(2) are located in North Charleston, one (1) in Summerville, and one (1) in 
Moncks Corner, South Carolina.  Total assets purchased were $7,064,000 and 
liabilities assumed totaled $61,666,000, of which $61,362,000 were deposits.  
A premium of $4,500,000 on deposits purchased will be assigned to a core 
deposit intangible asset and will be amortized over seven and one half 
(7 1/2) years.  The acquisition will be accounted for by the purchase method 
of accounting.  Proforma financial information is not attached since the 
business acquired is not considered a "significant subsidiary" per Rule
