INVESTMENT SECURITIES:

Bancorporation  adopted  SFAS  No.  115,   Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,    effective  January  1,
1994.   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 No. 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.

LOANS:

          In  May  1993,  The Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued SFAS No. 114, "Accounting  by  Creditors  for
Impairment  of  a  Loan,"  which  is effective for fiscal years
beginning  after  December  15, 1994, with early adoption permitted.
SFAS No. 114 specifies how allowances  for  credit  losses  related  to
certain  impaired  loans  should be determined and generally requires
impairment to be measured on the basis of discounted expected cash
flows.  In October  1994,  FASB  issued  SFAS  No. 118, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures"
which amends the income recognition requirements of SFAS No. 114.
Bancorporation adopted SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118 as of January 1,
1995.  The impact of adoption of SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118 on
Bancorporations's consolidated financial statements was not material.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS


SUMMARY:

First  Citizens Bancorporation reported net income of $2,148,000 for the
second quarter of 1995, a  9.44% decrease from the $2,372,000 for the
second quarter a year ago.  Net income for the six months  ended  June
30, 1995 was $4,297,000, a 15.30% decrease from the $5,073,000 reported
for the  same  period  in  1994.    The  decrease  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,
1995 increased $90,814,000 or 10.22% when compared to the same period in
1994, with a yield of 9.09% for the second quarter of  1995.   Average
taxable and non-taxable investment securities for the second quarter of
1995 decreased  by  $13,002,000  or  2.61% from the second quarter of
1994, with a taxable equivalent yield  of  5.74% for the second quarter
of 1995.  Average loans net of unearned interest for the six  months
ended  June  30, 1995 increased $75,611,000 or 8.54%  from the same
period in 1994, with  a  yield of 8.91% for the six months ended June
30, 1995.  Average taxable and non-taxable investment  securities  for
the six months ended June 30, 1995 increased by $5,184,000 or 1.08% from
the same period in 1994, with a taxable equivalent yield of 5.51% for
the first six months of 1995.

Noninterest  income  increased  by  $289,000  or  6.25%  and  increased
by  $597,000  or 6.56%, respectively,  for  the  quarter  and  six
months  ended June 30, 1995, as compared to the same periods  in  1994.
For  the  quarter  and six months ended June 30, 1995, noninterest
expense increased  $780,000  or  5.23%  and  $1,581,000  or 5.28%,
respectively, as compared to the same periods  in  1994.    The
increase  in  noninterest  expense  was  primarily  due  to increased
amortization of intangibles.

decreased 9.35% to $2.23, as compared  to  $2.46  for  the  second

June 30, 1995 decreased 15.37% to $4.46, as compared to $5.27 for the
same period in 1994.

Book  value  per  common  share  as of June 30, 1995 increased 10.47% to
$105.64, as compared to $95.63 for the same period in 1994.

As  illustrated in the following table, Tier 1 capital was 8.63% at June
30, 1995 as compared to 8.46%  at  June  30,  1994.  Total risk based
capital was 10.52% at June 30, 1995 as compared to 10.67%  at  June
30, 1994.  The risk based capital ratios were calculated using the 1992
