                                 PRESS RELEASE
                          CITADEL HOLDING CORPORATION

     Glendale, California (October 24, 1994) -- Citadel Holding Corporation, a
Delaware corporation, announced today that it has issued 74,300 shares of its
common stock to Craig Corporation, a current stockholder in Citadel, at a
formula price intended to reflect the stock's market price.

     The investment increases Craig's equity stake in Citadel to just over 10%.
Because Citadel has remained a registered thrift holding company following the
restructuring and recapitalization of Fidelity Federal, acquisition of more than
10% of Citadel's equity can require the approval of the Office of Thrift
Supervision ("OTS").  Craig advised Citadel that it previously received such OTS
approval, and that such approval would expire on October 23, 1994 unless Craig's
equity interest increased above 10% prior its expiration.

     Steve Wesson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Citadel, said
"This transaction was important to our Board to preserve Craig as a potential
source of future equity financing without the need to seek new OTS approvals."

     Citadel shares are listed on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol
CDL. Citadel continues to own approximately 16.18% of the outstanding shares of
Fidelity Federal and is its second largest stockholder.

                            STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
                                        
     This Stock Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement") is made and entered into
on October 21, 1994 by and between Citadel Holding Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Citadel"), and Craig Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Craig").
                                 R E C I T A L
                                 - - - - - - -
     Citadel desires to sell to Craig, and Craig desires to purchase from
Citadel, newly-issued shares of common stock of Citadel. NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing and the provisions set forth below, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

                                  ARTICLE ONE
                         AGREEMENT TO SELL AND PURCHASE

     1.1  Issuance and Sale of Stock.  On the terms and subject to the 
          --------------------------                       
conditions set forth herein, concurrently with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement by the parties, Citadel is issuing and selling to Craig, and
Craig is purchasing from Citadel, 74,300 shares (the "Shares") of common stock,
par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of Citadel. It is the intent of the
parties that Citadel issue the Shares to Craig and that Craig own the Shares on
October 21, 1994, and Citadel shall take all steps necessary to cause Craig to
become a stockholder of record on this date.

     1.2  Purchase Price.  Craig shall pay to Citadel in cash a purchase 
          --------------
price per Share equal to the lesser of the following:
    
         (a) The average of the closing prices per share of Common Stock on the
     American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX") for each of the three days in the
     period October 17-19, 1994, as quoted in The Wall Street Journal; or 
       
         (b) The average of the closing prices per share of Common Stock on 
     the AMEX for each of the five days in the period October 24-28, 1994, as
     quoted in The Wall Street Journal.

The aggregate purchase price for all Shares pursuant to the foregoing
calculation is referred to herein as the "Purchase Price."  Concurrently with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, in consideration for the purchase
of the Shares, Craig is delivering to Citadel or its representative a wire
transfer in the amount of $291,009, representing the purchase price calculation
pursuant to Section 1.2(a) above.  If the purchase price per Share as calculated
pursuant to Section 1.2(b) above yields a lower price than that paid on the date
hereof, Citadel shall promptly refund to Craig by wire transfer the amount by
which the payment by Craig on the date hereof exceeds the Purchase Price.

                                  Article Two

                            FUTURE EQUITY INVESTMENT

     2.1  Option to Convert.  If, on or before April 30, 1995, Citadel and Craig
          -----------------                                                     
agree to an additional equity investment in Citadel by Craig, and if such equity
investment involves the issuance by Citadel of capital stock other than Common
Stock ("New Equity"), then Craig shall have the option, but not the obligation,
to convert any or all of the Shares into such New Equity at a conversion ratio
of one Share for a fraction of a share of New Equity, the numerator of which is
the price per Share paid by Craig pursuant to this Agreement and the denominator
of which is the price per share of New Equity to be paid by Craig.  Such
conversion ratio shall be subject to appropriate adjustment for any interim
stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends or recapitalizations of the
Common Stock.

                                 ARTICLE THREE

                              REGISTRATION RIGHTS
     3.1  Definitions.
          ----------- 
          (a)  The terms "register," "registered," and "registration" refer to a
     registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in
     compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
     Act") and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration
     statement by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

          (b)  The term "Registrable Securities" refers to the Shares and any 
     Common Stock of Citadel issued as a dividend or other distribution with
     respect to, or in exchange or in replacement of, the Shares (which shall be
     deemed included in the term "Shares"), except that Shares shall cease to be
     Registrable Securities (i) when a registration statement with respect to
     the sale of such Shares has become effective under the Securities Act and
     the Shares have been disposed of in accordance with such registration
     statement; (ii) when such Shares may be sold to the public pursuant to
     paragraph (k) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act ("Rule 144") or any
     successor provision; (iii) when such Shares shall have been transferred
     (under Rule 144 or otherwise), new certificates for the Shares not bearing
     a legend restricting further transfer shall have been delivered by Citadel
     and subsequent disposition of the Shares does not require registration or
     qualification under the Securities Act or state law then in force in the
     opinion of legal counsel for Citadel; (iv) when such Shares cease to be
     beneficially owned by Craig or its affiliates (as defined in Rule 144),
     unless all Shares are transferred by Craig or its affiliates to a single
     acquiror, in which event, subject to the other provisions of this Section
     3.1(b) and the receipt by Citadel of such acquiror's written agreement to
     assume all of the obligations of Craig under this Article Three, such
     Shares shall remain Registrable Securities; (v) when such Shares cease to
     be outstanding; or (vi) on or after October 21, 1996 if and when all
     outstanding Shares represent less than 1% of all outstanding shares of
     Common Stock.

     3.2  Request for Registration.
          ------------------------ 
          (a) Subject to Sections 3.2(b) and (c), commencing on May 1, 1995, if
     Citadel shall receive a written request (specifying that it is being made
     pursuant to this Section 3.2) from Craig that Citadel file a registration
     statement under the Securities Act,

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
     or a similar document pursuant to any other statute then in effect
     corresponding to the Securities Act, covering the registration of all
     Registrable Securities, then Citadel shall use its best efforts to cause
     all Registrable Securities to be registered under the Securities Act.

         (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Citadel shall not be obligated
     to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 3.2 during the period
     starting with the date 60 days prior to Citadel's estimated date of filing
     of, and ending on a date six months following the effective date of, a
     registration statement pertaining to an underwritten public offering of
     securities for the account of Citadel, provided that Citadel is actively
     employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration
     statement to become effective and that Citadel's estimate of the date of
     filing such registration statement is made in good faith; and (ii) if
     Citadel shall furnish to Craig a certificate signed by the President of
     Citadel stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors
     it would be seriously detrimental to Citadel or its shareholders for a
     registration statement to be filed in the near future, then Citadel's
     obligation to use its best efforts to file a registration statement shall
     be deferred for a period not to exceed six months; provided, however, that
     Citadel shall furnish such a certificate to Craig only once in any one-year
     time period.

         (c) Citadel shall be obligated to effect only two registrations
     pursuant to this Section 3.2.

     3.3  Company Registration.
          -------------------- 
          (a) Subject to Section 3.3(b), if at any time Citadel determines to
     register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection
     with the public offering of such securities solely for cash on a form that
     would also permit the registration of the Registrable Securities, Citadel
     shall, each such time while Registrable Securities are outstanding,
     promptly give Craig written notice of such determination. Upon the written
     request of Craig given within 20 days after mailing of any such notice by
     Citadel, Citadel shall use its best efforts to cause to be registered under
     the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that Craig has
     requested be registered.

         (b) Citadel shall not be required under this Section 3.3 to include any
     Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the holders thereof
     accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between Citadel and the
     underwriters selected by it, and then only in such quantity as will not, in
     the written opinion of the underwriters, jeopardize the success of the
     offering by Citadel.

     3.4 Agreements and Conditions.
         ------------------------- 
         (a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Citadel to
     take any action pursuant to Article Three that Craig and its affiliates
     shall: 
       
             (i) Furnish to Citadel such information regarding them, the
     Registrable Securities held by them, and the intended method of disposition
     of such securities as Citadel shall reasonably request and as shall be
     required to effect such registration;

             (ii) Execute and deliver customary underwriting agreements,
     including customary indemnification and contribution provisions; and

                                       3

             (iii) Provide indemnification and contribution to Citadel and its
         affiliates, officers, directors and agents with respect to 
         information supplied by Craig and its affiliates for inclusion in the
         registration.

         (b) In connection with any registration under this Article Three, 
     Citadel shall:

             (i) Execute and deliver a customary underwriting agreement, 
         including customary indemnification and contribution provisions;

            (ii) Qualify the Registrable Securities for sale under the "Blue
         Sky" laws of such states as Craig shall designate, provided that
         Citadel shall not be required to file a general consent to service of
         process; and

             (iii) Provide Craig and its affiliates with such number of
         prospectuses included in such registration as Craig may reasonably
         request.

     3.5 Expenses of Registration.
         ------------------------ 

         (a)  All expenses incurred by Citadel in connection with a 
     registration pursuant to Article Three (excluding underwriters' discounts
     and commissions), including without limitation all registration and
     qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, and fees and
     disbursements of counsel for Citadel, shall be borne by Citadel; provided,
     however, that Citadel shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any
     registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 3.2 if the registration
     request is subsequently withdrawn by Craig, unless Craig agrees to forfeit
     its right to a demand registration pursuant to Section 3.2.

         (b)  In any registration under this Article Three, Craig and its 
     affiliates shall bear the expense of their own counsel.
