                            THE CIVISTA CORPORATION

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               DECEMBER 31, 1993




(1)   The CIVISTA Corporation is a unitary savings and loan holding company
      whose principal asset is the common stock of its wholly owned subsidiary,
      Citizens Savings Bank of Canton.  In addition, CIVISTA owns all of the
      common stock of The CASNET Group, Inc., Crest Investments, Inc. and
      Citizens Investment Corporation; two apartment complexes and short-term
      investments.  As discussed in the Annual Report to Shareholders, Citizens
      Savings Bank of Canton paid a non-cash dividend to CIVISTA of 100% of the
      stock of its wholly owned subsidiary, Citizens Savings Corporation on
      January 1, 1994.

(2)   Outstanding commitments to fund mortgage loans aggregated $12,619,000 and
      $11,308,000 at December 31, 1993 and September 30, 1993, respectively.
      At December 31, 1993, CIVISTA had commitments to purchase $4,460,000 of
      mortgage-backed securities.  CIVISTA also had commitments to fund
      consumer home equity and credit card lines of credit of $31,730,000 and
      $30,820,000 at December 31, 1993 and September 30, 1993, respectively.
      CIVISTA expects a significant portion of these lines of credit to remain
      undrawn.  At December 31, 1993, CIVISTA had commitments to sell mortgage
      loans totalling $1,517,200.

(3)   Management believes that the interim consolidated financial statements
      reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals,
      necessary for a fair presentation of the December 31, 1993 statement of
      condition and the results of operations for the three-months  ended
      December 31, 1993 and 1992.

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



FINANCIAL CONDITION

At December 31, 1993, mortgage loans totaled $478.6 million which was only
slightly greater than the amount outstanding at September 30, 1993.  During the
first quarter of fiscal 1994, principal collections and loan payoffs continued
at record levels.  Principal collections and loan payoffs on mortgage loans
held for investment increased $8.4 million compared to the first quarter of
fiscal 1993.    The refinancing activity has continued to affect the adjustable
rate loan portion of the portfolio.  Since September 30, 1993, adjustable rate
loans have declined approximately $6 million to $114 million.  At December 31,
1993, fixed rate loans amounted to 77% of total mortgage loans.

At December 31, 1993, 37% of the mortgage loan portfolio consisted of loans
with original terms of fifteen years or less.  The shorter maturities of these
loans are advantageous to CIVISTA since they materially reduce the average life
of the mortgage loan portfolio.  These shorter maturity loans better match
CIVISTA's customer deposit liabilities and provide a higher level of
amortization than thirty-year loans.

Mortgage-backed securities grew $5.1 million during the quarter as a result of
the purchase of $9.3 million of mortgage-backed securities with ten-year
maturities.  During the first quarter of fiscal 1994, principal collections and
loan payoffs on mortgage-backed securities held for investment increased $2.6
million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1993.

Customer deposits increased $7.3 million during the three-month period as a
result of interest credits of $6.0 million and net cash inflows of $1.3
million.  Due to the current lower interest rates, funds from certificates of
deposit continue to be transferred, at maturity, to passbooks or transaction
accounts.  After consideration of interest credited on customer deposits,
passbook savings and transaction accounts have increased $12.7 million since
September 30, 1993.  During the same period, certificates of deposit have
decreased $4.9 million.  At December 31, 1993, passbook savings and transaction
accounts aggregated $447.7 million or 65% of total customer deposits and
certificates of deposit aggregated $243.7 million or 35% of total customer
deposits.

At December 31, 1993, cash, short-term cash investments and investment
securities totaled $167,123,413 or 20.9% of total assets.  At September 30,
1993, these liquid assets represented 21.3% of total assets.  CIVISTA has been
maintaining a higher than normal portfolio of liquid assets as a hedge against
higher interest rates.  If interest rates begin to rise, the yields on liquid
assets will adjust quickly and help offset increased interest on customer
deposits.  In spite of this practice, liquidity was higher than planned due to
cash flows in excess of loan demand.

The other loan balance has decreased mainly due to the sale of approximately
$427,000 of college loans.

Real estate development assets consist primarily of two on-going developments.
These projects are a tract of 54 residential lots known as Enclave Mountain
Estates in La Quinta, California and a development of 37 residential homes in
Indio, California.  As of December 31, 1993, sales have been closed on sixteen
of the lots and sales contracts have been signed on all of the residential
homes of which thirty-four have closed.

During the quarter, CIVISTA used $13.6 million of short-term advances from the
Federal Home Loan Bank for short-term cash management purposes.  At December
31, 1993, $3 million of these advances remained outstanding.

Advance payments by borrowers increased due to seasonal real estate tax
payments.





                                       8
<PAGE>   9
Other liabilities increased principally as the result of the accrual of $1.5
million of federal income tax during the quarter.

CIVISTA has a very strong capital position.  At December 31, 1993,
shareholders' equity was $84,778,958 which represented 10.6% of assets and
11.8% of liabilities.  Citizens Savings Bank had shareholder's equity totalling
8.1% of its assets and 8.9% of its liabilities at December 31, 1993.  Citizens
Savings Bank's compliance with the capital requirements in effect at December
31, 1993 is as follows (000's omitted):

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion of the significant factors which produced the
differences in operating results for the period of this report as compared with
the same period one year ago.





                                       9
<PAGE>   10
THREE-MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993

Interest on loans decreased approximately $890,000 from the same period one
year ago.  This decrease is directly related to the decrease in mortgage loan
yield from 8.7% for the quarter ended December 31, 1992 to 7.9% for the quarter
ended December 31, 1993.  Average balances on mortgage loans decreased
approximately $442,000 from the same quarter last year.

Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased from the same period one year
ago.  Average balances on mortgage-backed securities decreased approximately
$5.2 million from the same quarter last year.  In addition, there was a
decrease in yield from 7.8% for the quarter ended December 31, 1992 to 6.2% for
the quarter ended December 31, 1993.

Interest on investment securities increased as a result of significantly higher
average investments.  The average outstanding balance on investment securities
increased from $88.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1992 to $142.9
million for the  quarter ended December 31, 1993, while yields decreased for
the same periods from 5.5% to 5.3%.  Other interest and dividend income
decreased as a result of lower average investments and lower yields on the
short-term cash investments.  The average investments in Federal Home Loan Bank
overnight deposits and other short-term investments decreased by approximately
$13.9 million.

Interest expense on customer accounts decreased approximately $361,000.  The
first quarter of fiscal 1994 reflects the decline in interest rates and the
continued shift of maturing certificates of deposit into passbooks or
transaction accounts.  For the quarter ended December 31, 1993, interest
expense on customer accounts averaged 3.4%.  This is a decrease from the 3.8%
average interest rate paid on customer accounts for the quarter ended December
31, 1992.  The impact of the decrease in average interest rates from 3.8% to
3.4% was partially offset by the increase in average total customer balances
from $665.0 million to $687.1 million for the three-month periods ended
December 31, 1992 and 1993.

During the quarter ended December 31, 1993, CIVISTA closed sales on three of
the Park Madison homes.  This compared with two Park Madison closings during
the quarter ended December 31, 1992.  CIVISTA also closed sales on one of the
Enclave Mountain Estate lots during the quarter ended December 31, 1992.

Data processing sales and service income decreased approximately $366,000.
This decrease resulted from a $428,000 decline in revenue from traditional
savings and loan customers.  This decrease was offset by a net increase of
approximately $90,000 in microfiche sales and the sales and installation of
interactive voice response systems.

Other expense declined as a result of reduced expenses on foreclosed real
estate, real estate development assets and a variety of individually
insignificant reductions in other expense accounts.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors
The CIVISTA Corporation:

We have reviewed the consolidated statement of condition of The CIVISTA
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993, and the related
consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month
periods ended December 31, 1993 and 1992.  The financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to
be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated statement of condition of The CIVISTA Corporation
and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1993, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year
then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated November 24, 1993,
we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated
statement of condition as of September 30, 1993 is fairly presented, in all
material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of condition from
which it has been derived.
