MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis presents the significant changes in
financial condition and the results of operations of Citizens Financial Corp.
and Subsidiary for the periods indicated. This discussion and analysis should
be read in conjunction with the Company's 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders and
Form 10-K. Since the primary business activities of Citizens Financial Corp. are
conducted through the Bank, this discussion focuses primarily on the financial
condition and operations of the Bank. This discussion may include forward
looking statements based upon management's expectations, actual results may
differ.
EARNINGS SUMMARY
- ----------------
Net income for the second quarter of 1997 was $393,000 bringing year-to-
date net income to $792,000. As expected these results are quite similar to
last year's $385,000 and $790,000 earning levels. Likewise, year-to-date return
on average assets of 1.25% and earnings per share of $1.16 are nearly the same
as 1996's six month levels of 1.24% and $1.15 per share. However, due to an
increase in the average equity base of $1,048,000 return on average equity for
the first half of the year has fallen from 11.17% in 1996 to 10.49% in 1997.
Factors influencing the Company's earnings performance are addressed in the
following sections of this report.
NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------
Net interest income represents the primary component of Citizens' earnings.
It is the difference between interest and fee income related to earning assets
and interest expense incurred to carry interest bearing liabilities. Net
interest income is impacted by changes in the volume and mix of interest earning
assets and interest bearing liabilities, as well as by changing interest rates.
In order to manage these changes, their impact on net interest income and the
risks associated with them, the Company utilizes an ongoing asset/liability
management program. This program includes analysis of the Company's gap,
earnings sensitivity to rate changes, and sources and uses of funds. A
discussion of net interest income and the factors impacting it is presented
below.
For the second quarter of 1997 net interest income totaled $1,555,000,
$7,000 less than the $1,562,000 recorded in the second quarter of 1996. Net
interest margin was also down slightly from 5.20% to 5.19%. Tax equivalent
interest income for the quarter increased $20,000 due mainly to higher average
loan levels. Quarterly interest expense, however, also increased by $28,000
reflecting a 13 basis point increase in the cost of funds from 3.87% to 4.00%.
On a year-to-date basis net interest income experienced a $20,000 decrease
from $3,120,000 to $3,100,000 largely due to changing interest rates. For the
six month period the Company's cost of funds rose from 3.87% to 3.96% causing
interest expense to increase by $41,000. Offsetting this was a improvement in
the yield on earning assets of 4 basis points to 8.32%. This improvement, which
was the result of higher loan volumes, resulted in an increase in interest
income of $21,000. Consequently, year-to-date net interest margin fell from
5.24% in 1996 to 5.20% in 1997. While some changes are natural management does
not anticipate significant changes in the volumes or mix of loans, deposits or
securities during the remainder of 1997.
NONINTEREST INCOME
- ------------------
Noninterest income includes all revenues which are not included in interest
and fee income relating to earning assets. Total noninterest income for the
second quarter of both 1997 and 1996 was $124,000. Trust department income,
which is
12
<PAGE>
recorded on the cash basis in accordance with customary banking practice,
increased from $20,000 in the second quarter of 1996 to $26,000 in the second
quarter of 1997. Conversely, service fees decreased $7,000 to $61,000. Although
several items contributed to this change the most significant change involved a
reduction of minimum balance fees which resulted from the establishment of a
club account earlier in 1997. The remaining components of noninterest income
showed little change from the second quarter of 1996.
On a year-to-date basis noninterest income of $283,000 exceeds last year's
$241,000 by $42,000, or over 17%. This increase is due to the recovery of
$60,000 from a fourth quarter 1996 loss totaling $85,000 in which a customer
illegally obtained funds for their personal benefit. As noted in previous
filings, no further recoveries are anticipated in this matter. Absent this
recovery year-to-date noninterest income would have been $223,000, or $18,000
below 1996's level.
This $18,000 decrease is the result of lower service fees. In addition to
lower minimum balance fees as noted above, fees on overdrafts and commercial
accounts, which lagged during the first quarter of 1997, are approximately
$13,000 below their 1996 level. These fees have now returned to normal levels
and are expected to remain stable. In total, noninterest income for the
remainder of 1997 is expected to approximate that of 1996.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
- -------------------
Noninterest expense includes all items of expense other than interest
expense, the provision for loan losses and income taxes. Total noninterest
expense for the second quarter of 1997 of $1,023,000 is $10,000 less than the
second quarter 1996 level. This improvement is due to a reduction of salaries
and employee benefits. This item, which is the largest component of noninterest
expense, decreased by $43,000 or 7.6% reflecting a reduction in the officer
ranks, a corresponding decrease in the cost of the Company's executive
supplemental income plan and a reduction in the Company's pension expense as
determined under FASB 87.
The remaining components of noninterest expense all showed increases of
varying amounts. The largest change is seen in equipment rentals, depreciation
and maintenance and is due to the addition of numerous items to the Company's
depreciable asset base at varying times throughout the second quarter of 1996.
Such assets were related to the remodeling of the main offices of Citizens
National Bank.
The category of other noninterest expense also increased during the quarter
due to a $4,000 increase in losses from the sale of foreclosed assets, a $6,000
increase in fees paid for educational seminars and increased supplies and
software costs of approximately $9,000. Finally, as in the first quarter, more
aggressive marketing campaigns caused advertising costs to rise above last
year's level.
On a year-to-date basis noninterest expense of $2,043,000 exceed last
year's year-to-date total by $10,000. Similar to the quarterly results, lower
officer salaries, executive supplemental income costs and pension expense
produced a $55,000 savings when compared to the first six months of 1996.
Likewise, other noninterest expense increased $28,000. Of this increase
approximately $13,000 is due to losses on the sale of repossessed assets. Other
increases primarily involve the same items noted in the quarterly analysis.
However, all of these items are expected to closely approximate their expected
levels for the year.
INCOME TAXES
- ------------
The Company's provision for income taxes during the second quarter of 1997
and 1996 was $221,000 and $226,000, respectively. Included in these figures are
both federal and state income taxes. For the current year-to-date period total
taxes, which include deferred tax benefits of $23,000, are $446,000 or 36.0% of
13
<PAGE>
income before taxes. At June 30, 1996 total taxes were $454,000, or 36.5%. The
Company is not subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
Total assets at June 30, 1997 of $129,148,000 are $388,000 more than the
December 31, 1996 total of $128,760,000. This lack of significant growth in
asset size has characterized both the local economy, the competitive enviroment,
and the Company in recent years. Management believes that maintaining a
disciplined approach to growth is in this environment represents a prudent
strategy and is pleased with the June 30, 1997 asset size as it is only .18%
below budgeted levels. A discussion of the Bank's major assets, deposits and
equity follows.
LOAN PORTFOLIO
- --------------
Gross loans totaled $88,268,000, at June 30, 1997, down $821,000 or .92%
since year-end 1996. During 1995 management actively sought loan growth and
increased the loan portfolio by $14.9 million. Slower loan growth continued in
1996 with the year-end gross loan to deposit ratio rising to 81.31%. In 1997
management's focus has been on controlling the loan to deposit ratio and
maintaining credit quality. As of mid-year the gross loan to deposit ratio
stood at 80.86% and, as will be discussed later, past due and nonaccruing loans
have been significantly reduced.
Among the Bank's major loan portfolios the commercial portfolio inceased by
$992,000 during the first half of 1997. This represents an 8.94% increase and
is primarily due to the funding of one loan of $800,000 as noted in the
Company's year-end 1996 filing. In contrast to this was a 7.94% decrease in
installment loans to $17,303,000. This decrease reflects certain strategies
employed by management as well as changes in consumer loan demand. The volume
of installment loans to consumers is expected to remain relatively stable for
the remainder of 1997.
The Company attempts to maintain its underwriting and credit standards at
all times in order to ensure the quality of the loan portfolios. All loans past
due 90 days or more are place on nonaccrual status unless they are both well
secured and in the process of collection. Since year-end accruing loans past
due 90 or more days have decreased by $431,000 to just $16,000 while nonaccruing
loans have decreased by $5,000 to $258,000. Approximately $224,000 of the
nonaccruing loans relate to a credit which is well secured and on which no loss
is expected despite the borrowers' current financial condition. A summary of
past due loans and nonperforming assets is provided below:

<PAGE>
results or capital resources and is of the opinion that the allowance for loan
losses, which totaled $1,030,000 or 1.17% of gross loans at June 30, 1997,
adequately provides for any potential loan losses which may reasonably be
expected. To maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level a
provision for loan losses is made monthly as deemed necessary. Such provisions
totaled $102,000 in the first half of 1997 compared to $84,000 in the first half
of 1996. Net charge-offs during the two periods totaled $62,000 and $57,000,
respectively.
SECURITIES PORTFOLIO AND FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD
- -------------------------------------------
The Bank maintains a conservative philosophy with regard to its
securities portfolio placing great importance on safety and liquidity. In order
to improve liquidity, and increase its ability to manage the structure of the
balance sheet, $3.2 million of securities were transferred from the held to
maturity portfolio to the available for sale portfolio in December, 1995 as
permitted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Special Report "A Guide
to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Debt and Equity
Securities." This transaction had no impact on the Company's income and
resulted in an immaterial increase in shareholders' equity as reported at year
end. In practical terms this transaction marked the creation of the Bank's
available for sale portfolio.
Since that time, the available for sale portfolio has increased to
$26,541,0000 or 78.5% of the total portfolio. The remaining 21.5% is comprised
of held to maturity securities as no trading portfolio is maintained. The
composition of both portfolios is presented in Note 2. At June 30, 1997 fair
value of the available for sale portfolio was $99,000, or .37%, less than the
amortized cost of the securities. This represents an unrealized loss which
would impact earnings only in the event of the sale of the securities and
reflects the quality and structure of the portfolio as well as the recent trend
toward lower interest rates. At the current time there are no plans to sell
available for sale securities.
The average lives of the securities portfolios continue to be
relatively short averaging 3.06 years to maturity. Future portfolio strategies
will likely continue to emphasize safety with U. S. government and agency
securities, highly rated corporate and municipal securities being favored. The
purchase of municipal securities depends, among other things, on the
availability of favorable tax-equivalent yields relative to taxable securities,
however.
The Bank generally tries to minimize its involvement in the overnight
federal funds markets. However, at any given time the execution of specific
investing or funding strategies, or normal fluctuations in loan and deposit
balances, may require the Bank to sell, or buy, funds on an overnight basis. At
mid-year the Bank had $675,000 in federal funs sold compared to $1,335,000 of
federal funds borrowings at year-end 1996. Throughout the first six months of
1997 the Bank's use of federal funds sold has been minimal averaging $801,000.
DEPOSITS AND OTHER FUNDING SOURCES
- ----------------------------------
Total deposits fell $409,000, or .37% to $109,161,000 during the first
half of 1997. This lack of growth may be attributed to both the local economic
climate and increasing competition from banks, annuities, mutual funds, equity
securities and other savings and investment products. It also indicates a
strong core deposit base which is stable when faced with such competition.
Noninterest bearing deposits decreased $1,243,000 during the period
from $14,739,000 to $13,496,000. As a percentage of total deposits noninterest
bearing deposits represented 12.36% at June 30, 1997 and 13.45% at year-end
1996. On average, noninterest bearing deposits totaled $14,022,000 during the
first half of the year.
Interest bearing deposits, on the other hand, increased $834,000,
.88%,
15
<PAGE>
during the first half of the year. The most significant change among the
interest bearing deposits during the period involved the introduction of a new
product known as Select Checking. This interest bearing checking account, which
features a number of advantages including insurance, travel discounts and
shopping benefits, gathered $1,797,000 since its introduction in February. Some
of these funds were transferred from exiting accounts including checking plus
and money market accounts which fell $557,000 and $451,000, respectively. Among
the other major interest bearing accounts certificates of deposit decreased by
$423,000 while savings accounts increased $311,000. Both of these changes are
slightly in excess of 1%.
The Company's use of borrowed funds changed somewhat during the first
six months of 1997. At June 30 short-term borrowings were lower mostly due to
the absence of federal funds purchased. On average such purchased funds totaled
$723,000 during the first half of 1997. Long-term borrowing, however, increased
from $330,000 at year-end 1996 to $1,109,000 at mid year 1997 due to the funding
of a $800,000 commercial loan as noted earlier.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -----------------
Total shareholders' equity of $15,611,000 at June 30, 1997 is 12.09%
of total assets. This compares with $14,943,000, 11.61%, at year-end 1996.
Included in equity are 66,447 shares of treasury stock carried at a cost of
$961,000 and $65,000 unrealized losses on available for sale securities. Such
unrealized losses are net of deferred tax benefits of $34,000.
Cash dividends of $.20 per share were paid during the first half
representing a dividend payout ratio of 17.24%. Dividends are determined
quarterly by the board of directors and typically the fourth quarter dividend is
larger than the other three.
The Federal Reserve's risk based capital guidelines provide for the
relative weighting of both on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet items based on
their degree of risk. The Company continues to exceed all regulatory capital
requirements as shown in the following table:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

Financial Corp. Requirements

Tier I capital to risk weighted assets 17.49% 4.0%
Tier I capital to adjusted total assets 12.17% 4.0%
</TABLE>
The Company is unaware of any trends or uncertainties, nor do any plans
exist, which may materially impair its capital position.
LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
- ---------------------------------------
The objective of the Company's liquidity management program is to
ensure the continuous availability of funds to meet the withdrawal demands of
depositors and the credit needs of borrowers. The basis of Citizens' liquidity
comes from the stability of its core deposits. Liquidity is also available
through the available for sale securities portfolio, held to maturity securities
due within one year, and short-term funds such as federal funds sold. At June
30, 1997 these sources totaled $29,256,000 or 22.65% of total assets. In
addition, liquidity may be generated through loan repayments and over
$51,000,000 of available borrowing arrangements with correspondent banks.
Management believes the liquidity of the Bank is sufficient to satisfy all
anticipated demands. Details on both the sources
16
<PAGE>
and uses of cash are presented in the Statements of Cash Flows contained in the
financial statements.
The objective of the Company's interest rate sensitivity management
program, also known as asset/liability management, is to maximize net interest
income while minimizing the risk of adverse effects from changing interest
rates. This is done by controlling the mix and maturities of interest sensitive
assets and liabilities. The Bank has established an asset/liability committee
for this purpose.
One common interest rate risk measure is the gap, or difference
between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. As of June 30,
1997, the Company's cumulative one year gap was a negative 8.95% of total assets
compared to a negative 4.91% at December 31, 1996. The change in the gap is due
to several factors. First, $4,894,000 of securities which were called, matured
or paid down during the first half of the year were reinvested in securities
carrying maturities of one to five years. Second, some $2,917,000 of
certificates of deposit have migrated to within 1 year of their maturity. It is
not unusual for the Bank to have a large volume of certificates maturing in a
short time period and it has had considerable success maintaining such funds.
It should also be noted that the Company considers administered rate deposits,
including savings accounts to be immediately rate sensitive.
In addition to the gap the Company also utilizes simulation models to
forecast income under various interest rate assumptions. Currently, such models
indicate the Company would maintain satisfactory earnings in changing interest
rate environments. Management believes such models are superior to the gap in
analyzing interest rate risk.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
- -------------------
The consolidated financial statements and related data included in
this report were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, which require the Company's financial position and results of
operations to be measured in terms of historical dollars. Consequently, the
relative value of money generally is not considered. Nearly all of the
Company's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature and, as a result,
interest rates and competition in the market area tend to have a more
significant impact on the Company's performance than the effect of inflation.
Such changes in interest rates during the quarter have not had a significant
impact on either the results of operations or the fair values of the Company's
financial instruments.
