CITIZENS SECURITY GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
Unaudited
September 30, 1995 and 1994
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Citizens Security
Group Inc. (the "Company") and the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, Citizens
Fund Insurance Company and Insurance Company of Ohio, and have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. All significant
intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1995, the related
Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1995 and 1994, the related Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the related Consolidated
Statement of Changes in Equity for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, are
unaudited. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments for a fair
presentation of such financial statements have been included. The operating
results for the periods ended September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the entire year.
The consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes contained in the Company's Annual Report
to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1994.
(2) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Earnings per common share are calculated based on the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding and after net income is reduced
for the amount of dividends declared on the Company's Series A preferred stock.
Declared preferred stock dividends were $260,859 and $173,906 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
(3) INVESTMENTS
The Company classifies its entire fixed maturity and equity investment
portfolios as "available-for-sale." Accordingly, these investments are reported
at estimated market value with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred
taxes, recorded in shareholders' equity. Classifying these portfolios as
"available-for-sale" does not impact net income.
Short-term investments include investments maturing within one year, money
market instruments and mutual funds. Short-term investments with original
maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents for purposes
of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Realized gains or losses on sales of investments, based on specific
identification of the investments sold, are credited or charged to income.
Changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation resulting from changes in the
market value of investments are credited or charged to shareholders' equity, net
of deferred income taxes, if any.

</TABLE>
(4) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The primary objective under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," is to ensure the deferred tax
asset or liability on the balance sheet properly reflects the amount due to or
from the government in the future. As a consequence, the portion of the tax
expense resulting from the change in the deferred tax asset or liability may not
always be consistent with the income reported in the Consolidated Statements of
Income.
Some items of revenue and expense included in the Consolidated Statements of
Income may not be currently taxable or deductible on income tax returns.
Therefore, the income tax assets and liabilities are divided into a current
portion, which is the amount attributable to the current year's tax return, and
a deferred portion, which is the amount attributable to another year's tax
return. The revenue and expense items not currently taxable or deductible are
called temporary differences. Income tax expense or benefits are recorded in
various places in the Company's financial statements. A summary of these
amounts is as follows:

If the Company believes that all of its deferred tax assets will not result in
future tax benefits, the Company must establish a "valuation allowance" for the
portion of these assets that it thinks will not be realized. Based upon review
of the Company's refundable taxes, anticipated future earnings, and all other
available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company has concluded it is
"more likely than not" that its net deferred tax assets will be realized.
Income tax payments in the first nine months of 1995 and 1994 were $695,617 and
$709,000, respectively.
(5) PROPERTY-LIABILITY REINSURANCE AND RELATED RESERVES
Ceded reinsurance involves having other insurance companies agree to share
certain risks with the Company. The primary purpose of ceded reinsurance is to
protect the Company from potential losses in excess of the amount it is prepared
to accept. Reinsurance may be on an individual policy basis or to protect
against catastrophic losses.
SFAS No. 113, "Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and
Long-Duration Contracts," requires the Company to report balances pertaining to
reinsurance transactions "gross" on the balance sheet. The Company now records
reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses and ceded unearned premiums as assets
in contrast to the Company's prior practice of netting these amounts against the
corresponding liabilities.

CITIZENS SECURITY GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued
The Company expects the companies with whom reinsurance is placed to honor
their obligations to the Company. In the event these companies are unable to
honor their obligations, the Company will pay these amounts. As of December
31, 1994, approximately 66 percent and 77 percent of the total reinsurance
recoverable and prepaid reinsurance premiums, respectively, were with Swiss
Reinsurance America Corporation, formerly known as the North American
Reinsurance Corporation. That company is rated "A" by A.M. Best Company and
"AAA" by Standard and Poor's for its property/liability claims-paying
ability. The effect of ceded reinsurance on premiums written, premiums earned
and insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses is as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read in
conjunction with the following discussion, since they contain important
information for evaluation of the Company's financial condition and operating
results.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Direct premiums written increased 5.1 percent and 7.6 percent in 1995 over 1994
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, respectively. The
growth is attributable to an increase in policies written with agents that the
Company has designated as "Partner" agencies. As anticipated, the Company lost
a portion of its premium base as a result of its decision not to write new
business with certain agencies that do not fit within the Company's long term
marketing strategies.
Premiums earned for the three and nine month periods rose 7.8 percent and
12.5 percent, respectively, over the comparable 1994 amounts. In the first
quarter of 1995 earned premiums were positively affected by a $592,398 refund
of excess ceded premiums received from the Minnesota Workers' Compensation
Reinsurance Association ("MWCRA").
The property and casualty insurance market continues to be competitive.
Although revenues from the Company's association business grew 30 percent
compared to association revenues during the first nine months of 1994,
commercial business in Minnesota and Wisconsin is intensely competitive in
the workers' compensation line. The Company's current strategy is to
maintain rate adequacy in order not to jeopardize underwriting results.
Net investment income was $617,023 for the third quarter of 1995 compared to
$529,186 for the third quarter of 1994. For the first nine months of 1995,
net investment income was $1,832,262 compared to $1,578,489 in 1994. Such
increases over 1994 results were primarily a result of an increase in
invested assets. The Company experienced realized losses on investments of
$12,434 in the third quarter of 1995 compared to realized losses of $11,860
in the same period in 1994. For the first nine months of 1995, realized
gains on investments were $33,999 compared to $4,520 in 1994. The Company
continues to shorten the duration of the investment portfolio in order to
decrease its exposure to interest rate volatility.
The Company's loss ratio (losses incurred to premiums earned) was 69.8 percent
for the third quarter of 1995 compared to 66.1 percent in the third quarter of
1994. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the loss ratio was 61.6
percent compared to 59.3 percent for the same period in 1994. The Company
experienced an increase in the severity of claims during 1995. The majority of
the increase in severity occurred in the homeowners line of business as a result
of catastrophe hailstorms in Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota, and in the
personal automobile line of business due to major accidents. The increase in
severity was partially offset by favorable development of prior years' workers'
compensation losses during the first nine months of 1995.
The Company's loss adjustment expense ratio (loss adjustment expenses to
premiums earned) was 7.0 percent for the third quarter of 1995 compared to 6.8
percent in the third quarter of 1994. This increase was primarily because of
legal costs incurred to settle larger claims during the third quarter. For the
nine months ended September 30, 1995, the loss adjustment expense ratio was 8.2
percent compared to 8.9 percent for the same period in 1994. The majority of
this decrease occurred as a result of utilizing one outside vendor to handle
certain adjusting functions previously handled by many outside vendors.
Page 11
<PAGE>
The Company's expense ratio (total operating expenses to premiums earned) for
the third quarter of 1995 was 32.1 percent as compared to 36.3 percent for
the third quarter of 1994. The change was primarily due to a decreased
contingent agency commission as a result of higher than anticipated loss
ratios. The expense ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
decreased 1.8 percent as compared to the same period a year ago.
For the third quarter of 1995, net income was $111,657, or $.01 per common
share, compared to net income of $95,903, or $.01 per common share, for the
third quarter of 1994. For the first nine months of 1995, net income was
$1,123,007, or $.51 per common share, versus $987,951, or $.39 per common share,
for the same period in 1994. The MWCRA refund, in addition to accrued interest
income associated with such refund, accounted for net income of approximately
$410,000, or $.25 per common share, in the first quarter of 1995.
The Company's results of operations are affected by seasonal weather variations.
Accordingly, results reflected for any interim period are not necessarily
indicative of those to be expected for the entire year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The primary sources of liquidity for the Company's subsidiaries are funds
generated from insurance premiums and net investment income. The Company's
subsidiaries' funds are generally invested in fixed maturity securities. At
September 30, 1995, the Company and its subsidiaries held cash and short-term
investments of $1,386,532. Management believes that these funds provide
adequate liquidity for the payment of claims and other short-term cash needs.
On November 3, 1989, the Company obtained a $6,000,000, seven-year bank loan
from First Bank National Association, which has subsequently been purchased
by Goodhue County National Bank, Red Wing, Minnesota, on November 9, 1995.
The principal balance of the bank loan remaining to be paid as of September
30, 1995 was $1,218,920. The current interest rate is 9.25 percent, but the
rate is variable and is tied to the prime rate. The Company agreed to
certain restrictive covenants which limit the amount of subsequent
indebtedness, capital expenditures and business acquisitions.
As a holding company, the Company depends on dividends from its subsidiaries and
fees payable under the Capital Access Fee Agreement to provide funds for bank
loan payments, preferred stock dividends and other operating expenses.
As of September 30, 1995, the Company had no material commitments for capital
expenditures.
