                FIRST CITIZENS FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

          Unaudited Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
          As of and for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 and 1994

1)       Basis of Presentation

   On August 2, 1989, First Citizens  Financial  Corporation's  ("First Citizens
Financial")  formation  as the holding  company of Citizens  Savings Bank F.S.B.
("Citizens" or the "Bank") was completed.  On that date, each outstanding  share
of common stock of Citizens was converted automatically into one share of common
stock of First Citizens Financial and Citizens became a wholly-owned  subsidiary
of First Citizens Financial.

   The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of Citizens and
its wholly-owned  subsidiaries and of First Citizens  Financial.  First Citizens
Financial and its  wholly-owned  subsidiary are referred to  collectively as the
"Company".

   The financial  statements as of September 30, 1995 and for the three and nine
months ended  September  30, 1995 and 1994 are  unaudited  but in the opinion of
management of the Company, contain all adjustments,  consisting solely of normal
recurring  entries,  necessary  to  present  fairly the  consolidated  financial
condition as of September  30, 1995 and the results of  consolidated  operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 and consolidated
cash  flows  for the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995  and  1994.  The
consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 1994 is derived
from  audited  financial  statements.  It  is  suggested  that  these  condensed
financial  statements be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's 1994 Annual Report and Form 10-K.

   The results of  consolidated  operations  for the three and nine months ended
September  30,  1995  are not  necessarily  indicative  of  results  that may be
expected for the entire year ending December 31, 1995.

   Certain   amounts  for  1994  have  been   reclassified  to  conform  to  the
presentation for 1995.

2)       Impaired Loans

   Effective  January 1, 1995,  the Company  adopted,  on a  prospective  basis,
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 114,  Accounting  by
Creditors for  Impairment of a Loan,  which was issued in May 1993, and No. 118,
Accounting  by  Creditors  for  Impairment  of a Loan - Income  Recognition  and
Disclosures, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 114, which was issued in October
1994. Under SFAS 114, a loan is impaired when, based on all current  information
and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts
due according to the contractual terms of the agreement, including all scheduled
principal  and interest  payments.  SFAS 114  requires  that  impaired  loans be
measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at
the loan's effective interest rate. As a practical expedient,  impairment may be
measured  based  on the  loan's  observable  market  price,  or,  if the loan is
collateral-dependent,  the fair value of the collateral. When the measure of the
impaired loan is less than the recorded  investment in the loan,  the impairment
is recorded through a valuation allowance. In addition, SFAS 114

                                                         7

changes the method of accounting for loans for which foreclosure is probable and
requires that such impaired loans be accounted for as loans.

   The Bank evaluates each impaired real estate loan  individually  to determine
the income  recognition  policy.  Generally,  payments  received  are applied in
accordance  with  the  contractual  terms  of  the  note  or as a  reduction  of
principal.

   At  September  30,  1995,  the Bank had  impaired  real  estate  loans with a
carrying  value of $3.7 million.  There were no specific  reserves for losses on
such impaired  loans.  The average  recorded  investment in impaired real estate
loans for the nine months ended  September 30, 1995 was $6.3  million.  The Bank
recognized  interest income of $24,000 on its impaired loans for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995.  Properties reported as in-substance  foreclosures and
selected  expense amounts at September 30, 1994 have been  reclassified to loans
to conform to the presentation for 1995.

3)       Earnings Per Share

   On April 21, 1995, the Board of Directors declared a 10% stock dividend which
was  distributed  on June 5, 1995 to  stockholders  of  record  on May 5,  1995.
Average shares  outstanding and all per share amounts are based on the increased
number of shares giving retroactive effect to the stock dividend.

   Earnings  per share for the three and nine months  ended  September  30, 1995
were determined by dividing net income by 2,876,538 and 2,858,761,  the weighted
average  number of shares  outstanding  during these periods,  respectively  (as
adjusted for the 10% stock dividend).  Earnings per share for the three and nine
months  ended  September  30, 1994 were  determined  by  dividing  net income by
2,839,799  and  2,815,952,  the weighted  average  number of shares  outstanding
during these  periods,  respectively  (as adjusted for the 10% stock  dividend).
Outstanding  shares also  include  common  stock  equivalents  which  consist of
outstanding  stock  options,  if such options are dilutive.  The Company has not
separately  reported  fully diluted  earnings per share as it is not  materially
different from earnings per share.

                               RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  (Dollars in the tables in thousands)

   This discussion and analysis includes a description of material changes which
have affected the Company's  consolidated  financial  condition and consolidated
results of operations  during the periods  included in the  Company's  financial
statements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION (September 30, 1995 compared to December 31, 1994)

   Total  assets  increased by $39.4  million,  or 7.1%,  at September  30, 1995
compared to December 31, 1994.  Such  increase was primarily due to increases of
$28.3  million in  securities  and $4.3  million  in loans.  Real  estate  owned
increased by $2.6 million, net.

   The following table sets forth the amounts of the Bank's nonperforming assets
by category at the dates indicated:

   During the nine months ended  September  30, 1995,  the Bank's  nonperforming
assets,  net decreased by $5.6 million.  The primary causes of the decrease were
sales of real estate owned  properties  amounting to $5.3 million and repayments
of $1.5  million  on  nonaccrual  assets.  Offsetting  increases  include  costs
capitalized on several real estate projects being developed to permit their sale
and ten new  nonperforming  loans.  During  April 1995,  the Bank  received  $.8
million in proceeds from the sale by the borrower of one of the commercial  land
lots  securing the $9.3 million  nonaccrual  construction  loan  included in the
above table at  December  31,  1994.  These  monies  were  applied to reduce the
outstanding principal balance of the loan to $8.6 million.  During May 1995, the
loan was restructured and the Bank received commercial lots with a fair value of
$6.0 million in lieu of cash payment. The remaining loan balance is to be repaid
by May 1997 and is reported as a troubled  debt  restructuring  at September 30,
1995.  Troubled debt  restructurings  at September 30, 1995 also included a real
estate  venture  amounting  to $2.9  million  which has  negotiated  a  deferred
interest repayment plan with the Bank.

   At  September  30, 1995,  there was one loan  (amounting  to  $127,000)  with
respect to which known  information  about the possible  credit  problems of the
borrowers or the cash flows of the security  property caused  management to have
serious doubts regarding the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present
loan repayment  terms and which may result in the future  inclusion of such loan
in nonperforming assets.

   In  accordance  with  applicable   Office  of  Thrift   Supervision   ("OTS")
regulations,  the Bank  regularly  reviews  assets in its portfolio to determine
whether any asset  requires  classification.  On the basis of such  review,  the
following assets,  which include all of the nonperforming assets in the previous
table, were classified at the dates indicated:

    The Bank  also  identified  assets  which  possess  credit  deficiencies  or
potential  weaknesses   deserving   management's  close  attention  as  "special
mention".  These assets  totaled $24.4 million at September 30, 1995 compared to
$23.9 million at December 31, 1994.

    An allowance for losses on loans is established through a provision for loan
losses  based upon  management's  evaluation  of the risk  inherent  in the loan
portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of loan activity. Such evaluation
considers,  among other  factors,  the  estimated  net  realizable  value of the
underlying  collateral,  current  economic  conditions and historical  loan loss
experience.  While  management uses available  information in  establishing  the
allowance for possible loan losses,  future  adjustments to the allowance may be
necessary if economic conditions differ  substantially from the assumptions used
in making the evaluations. Additions to the allowance are charged to operations;
realized losses, net of recoveries,  are charged to the allowance.  In addition,
various regulatory agencies, as part of their examination process,  periodically
review the Company's allowance for possible loan losses. Such agencies

                                                           10

may require the Company to recognize  additions to the allowance  based on their
judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

    The Bank  provided an additional  $202,000 for potential  loan losses during
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and incurred $47,000 of net charge-offs
during the period.

    The Bank also  establishes  allowances for losses on real estate owned based
upon their fair values and  allowances  for  investments in and advances to real
estate  ventures  based  upon their net  realizable  values.  The Bank  provided
$129,000 for additional losses on real estate owned during the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.  There were no additional  provisions for possible losses on
real estate  ventures  during the period.  The  valuations  of real estate owned
properties and  investments in and advances to real estate ventures are reviewed
periodically  and  updated  as  necessary  based on the Bank's  expectations  of
holding  periods,  leasing  or sales  activity,  and  other  changes  in  market
conditions.

    Management  believes that current loss reserves are adequate at this time to
cover  potential  losses in the portfolio.  There can be no assurance,  however,
that  additional  loss  provisions will not be necessary in the future if market
conditions deteriorate.

    The Bank had unrealized  gains of $275,000 and unrealized  losses of $28,000
on its  securities  available-for-sale  portfolio  at September  30,  1995.  The
amortized  cost of this  portfolio  was $32.7  million at that date.  There were
unrealized  gains amounting to $.5 million and unrealized  losses of $.5 million
on  the  securities  held-to-maturity  portfolio  at  September  30,  1995.  The
amortized cost of this portfolio was $80.2 million at at that date.

    Deposits,  before interest was credited,  increased by $.7 million,  or .2%,
during the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  Deposits,  including  interest
credited,  increased by $15.6  million,  a 3.4%  increase.  Also during the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1995,  advances  from the Federal  Home Loan Bank
increased  $13.4  million,  or 22.1%.  Federal  Home Loan Bank  advances  had an
average interest rate of 5.9% at September 30, 1995.

    At September 30, 1995,  stockholders'  equity totaled $37.2 million, or 6.2%
of total assets,  and included $120,000 of net unrealized  holding gains, net of
taxes,  on  securities  available-for-sale  under SFAS No. 115. At September 30,
1995, the Bank exceeded the currently  applicable core,  tangible and risk-based
capital  requirements  by  $18.1  million,  $27.0  million  and  $10.6  million,
respectively. Based on its regulatory capital position as of that date, the Bank
met the "well  capitalized"  criteria under OTS regulations.  See "Liquidity and
Capital Resources".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1994

    General.  Net interest  income,  after  recovery of loan  losses,  decreased
$97,000,  or 2.2%,  when compared to 1994.  There was a $1.6 million,  or 17.1%,
increase  in  interest  income  which was  offset by a $1.7  million,  or 34.2%,
increase in interest expense.  Recovery of loan losses decreased $10,000.  Other
income  increased by $206,000,  or 36.8%,  and operating  expenses  increased by
$111,000,  or 3.3%, during the three months ended September 30, 1995 compared to
the same period in the prior year.

<PAGE>



Pretax income  amounted to $1.6 million in each of the three month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994. The Company recorded net income of $1.0 million, or
$.36 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to net
income of $1.1 million or $.38 per share,  for the three months ended  September
30, 1994.

    Net Interest Income.  The Company's net interest income,  before recovery of
loan losses, decreased $87,000, or 2.0%, during the three months ended September
30,  1995 as  compared  to the same  period  of 1994.  Interest  income on loans
increased by $1.1 million,  or 13.5%,  primarily due to a $35.0 million increase
in average  outstanding  balances.  Average  yields  increased from 7.8% to 8.2%
during the three months ended  September 30, 1995 compared to the same period in
the prior year. Interest income on securities  increased by $476,000 as a result
of an increase in average yields from 5.9% to 6.7% and a $18.7 million  increase
in average  balances.  Interest income on real estate ventures  increased during
the three months  ended  September  30, 1995  compared to the same period in the
prior year  primarily due to  construction  and lease of an additional  building
during late 1994.  The Bank has  renegotiated  the current  interest  due on its
remaining real estate venture and interest due in excess of the amount  received
is deferred.

    Interest on deposits increased $1.3 million,  or 29.8%,  primarily due to an
increase  in  average  rates  paid  on  deposits  from  4.0%  to  4.8%.  Average
outstanding  balances  increased  $30.3  million.  Interest  on  borrowed  funds
increased  $316,000  due to an increase in average  rates paid from 4.9% to 5.8%
and a $12.9 million increase in average outstanding balances.

    Recovery of Loan Losses. During third quarter of 1995, the Company recovered
$48,000  from the  provision  for loan losses  compared to a recovery of $58,000
during  the third  quarter of 1994.  Management  of the Bank  believes  that the
current loss reserves appear adequate at this time to cover potential  losses in
the loan portfolio. There can be no assurance, however, that additional reserves
will not be necessary if market conditions change.

    Other Income.  Total other income increased  $206,000,  or 36.8%, during the
three  months  ended  September  30, 1995 as compared to the three  months ended
September 30, 1994. Loan fees and service charges decreased $64,000 due to lower
extension  and  release  fees  collected  in 1995.  The Company  realized  gains
amounting  to  $191,000,  an  increase  of  $150,000  from 1994,  on the sale of
mortgage  loans  originated  for sale by  First  Citizens  Mortgage  Corporation
("FCMC"),  the Bank's mortgage banking  subsidiary.  FCMC experienced  increased
gains on sales of loans  originated  for sale due to increased  originations  of
such loans caused by decreased  interest rates during the third quarter of 1995.
Also,  during the third quarter of 1995, the Company realized a gain of $107,000
on the sale of a former branch site.

    Operating Expense.  Operating expense increased by $111,000, or 3.3%, during
the three months ended  September 30, 1995 as compared to the three months ended
September  30, 1994.  Compensation  and  employee  benefits  decreased  $156,000
because  the Bank  implemented  a pension  plan for  directors  during the third
quarter of 1994.  No such cost was  incurred in 1995.  The increase in occupancy
expense was primarily due to costs associated with the Bank's new administrative
offices.  Loss from real  estate  increased  by $92,000  primarily  because  net
operating  expense of real estate owned  increased as a result of legal expenses
incurred on real estate  owned.  Provisions  for losses on real estate owned and
real

estate  ventures  during the three months ended  September  30, 1995 amounted to
$48,000 compared to provisions  during the three months ended September 30, 1994
of $236,000.

    Income  Taxes.  For the  quarters  ended  September  30, 1995 and 1994,  the
Company's  effective  tax  rate  was less  than  the  statutory  tax rate due to
recoveries of the valuation  allowance on deferred tax assets. When SFAS No. 109
Accounting  for Income Taxes was adopted  during the first quarter of 1993,  the
Company  established a valuation allowance for the excess of deferred tax assets
over  taxable  income  available  in  carryback  years and future  reversals  of
existing taxable temporary differences.  The Company was able to recover $36,000
and $60,000 of the valuation  allowance  during the quarters ended September 30,
1995 and 1994,  respectively.  Amounts  recovered  reduce income tax expense for
financial  statement  purposes and the  valuation  allowance is  correspondingly
reduced.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND
SEPTEMBER 30, 1994

    General. Net interest income, after provision for (recovery of) loan losses,
increased $81,000,  or .6%, when compared to 1994. There was a $4.9 million,  or
18.0%, increase in interest income which was partially offset by a $4.5 million,
or 31.0%,  increase in interest  expense.  Provision  for loan losses  increased
$382,000.  Other income  decreased by $86,000,  or 4.3%, and operating  expenses
decreased by $45,000,  or .4%,  during the nine months ended  September 30, 1995
compared to the same period in the prior year.  The Company  recorded net income
of $2.9  million,  or $1.03 per share,  for the nine months ended  September 30,
1995 as compared to net income of $2.8 million, or $1.00 per share, for the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1994.

    Net Interest Income. The Company's net interest income, before provision for
(recovery of) loan losses,  increased $463,000,  or 3.6%, during the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the same period of 1994. Interest income
on loans increased by $4.3 million,  or 18.6%,  primarily due to a $51.9 million
increase in average outstanding balances.  Average yields increased from 7.8% to
8.1% during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to the same period
in the prior year. Interest income on securities  increased by $.6 million which
was primarily due to an increase in average  yields from 5.8% to 6.6% during the
nine months ended  September  30, 1995  compared to the same period in the prior
year. Average  outstanding  balances increased $1.1 million.  Interest income on
real estate ventures  increased  during the nine months ended September 30, 1995
compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to construction  and
lease of an additional  building during late 1994. The Bank has renegotiated the
current  interest due on the remaining  real estate  venture and interest due in
excess of the amount received is deferred.

    Interest on deposits increased $3.3 million,  or 25.6%,  primarily due to an
increase  in  average  rates  paid  on  deposits  from  4.0%  to  4.7%.  Average
outstanding  balances  increased  $27.7  million.  Interest  on  borrowed  funds
increased $.9 million due to an increase in average rates paid from 4.7% to 5.8%
and a $12.1 million increase in average outstanding balances.

    Provision for (Recovery of) Loan Losses. During the first three quarters of
1995,  the Company increased the provision for loan losses by  $202,000. During 
the first three quarters of 1994,  the Company reduced the provision  for  loan
losses by a net of $180,000.  As part of the supervisory

agreement entered into on December 12, 1991 as a result of the Bank's high level
of classified assets,  the Bank agreed to maintain general valuation  allowances
of at least $8.5  million.  Based on the progress that the Bank made in reducing
its level of classified assets, on March 3, 1994, the OTS terminated the minimum
valuation  allowance  requirement  and required that the Bank maintain  adequate
loss  reserves.  Management  of the Bank believes that the current loss reserves
appear  adequate at this time to cover  potential  losses in the loan portfolio.
There  can be no  assurance,  however,  that  additional  reserves  will  not be
necessary if market conditions change.

    Other Income. Total other income decreased $86,000, or 4.3%, during the nine
months ended  September 30, 1995 as compared to the nine months ended  September
30,  1994.  Loan  fees  and  service  charges  decreased  $176,000  due to lower
extension fees and late charges  collected in 1995.  The Company  realized gains
amounting to $341,000, a decrease of $158,000 from 1994, on the sale of mortgage
loans originated for sale by FCMC. FCMC experienced  decreased gains on sales of
loans originated for sale due to decreased  originations of such loans caused by
increased  interest  rates  during the first  half of 1995.  Other  income  also
increased  as a result of  increased  charges on deposit  accounts  and  profits
recognized on the sale of a former branch site.

    Operating  Expense.  Operating expense decreased by $45,000,  or .4%, during
the nine months  ended  September  30, 1995 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1994.  Compensation and employee benefits increased $90,000 due to
additions  to staffing  which  occurred  in 1994,  increased  bonus  accrual and
directors'  fees and pension  expense.  The  increase  in  occupany  expense was
primarily due to costs  associated with the Bank's new  administrative  offices.
Loss from real estate decreased by $.7 million because  provisions for losses on
real  estate  owned  and real  estate  ventures  during  the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1995 amounted to $129,000  compared to provisions  during the nine
months ended September 30, 1994 of $1.1 million.  Net operating expenses of real
estate  owned  increased  as a  result  of  sales  of all  remaining  commercial
operating properties in 1994 and legal expenses incurred on real estate owned .

    Income  Taxes.  For the  periods  ended  September  30,  1995 and 1994,  the
Company's  effective tax rate was less than the statutory tax rate primarily due
to recoveries of the  valuation  allowance on deferred tax assets,  as discussed
above.  The Company  was able to recover  $156,000  of the  valuation  allowance
during the nine months ended  September  30, 1995 and  $210,000  during the nine
months ended  September 30, 1994.  Additionally,  income tax expense  during the
nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995 was  reduced by the tax effects of the
exercise of non-incentive stock options by former employees.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Under  current  regulations,  a  savings  association,  such  as  the  Bank,
generally  is  required  to  maintain  liquid  assets at 5.0% or more of its net
withdrawable deposits plus short-term borrowings. The Bank is in compliance with
this  requirement.  At  September  30,  1995,  the  Bank  had  outstanding  loan
commitments totaling $14.7 million.

    SAIF-insured  institutions,  such as the  Bank,  are  required  to  maintain
minimum  levels of capital.  At September 30, 1995, the Bank continued to exceed
all currently applicable core, tangible and risk-based capital requirements.

    At September 30, 1995, the Bank had the following amounts of capital:

              requirements,  and risk-weighted assets for the risk-based capital
              requirement.

(b)           5.0%  core  and  10.0%  risk-based  capital  are  required  to  be
              considered  "well  capitalized"  under the OTS "Prompt  Corrective
              Action" regulations.

(c)           Under current  OTS capital regulations,  the minimum  core capital
              requirement is  3.0%.   Under the OTS  "Prompt Corrective  Action" 
              regulations, the minimum core capital requirement to be considered
              "adequately capitalized"  is 4.0%.
</FN>
</TABLE>

    On August 31,  1993,  the OTS issued a final  rule,  which has been  delayed
until further  notice,  adding an  interest-rate-risk  ("IRR")  component to its
risk-based capital rule. Savings  institutions with greater than normal interest
rate exposure will be required to deduct from risk-based capital one-half of the
difference  between the  institution's  actual measured  exposure and the normal
level of exposure.  The amount to be deducted will be provided by OTS.  Based on
financial  data as of September 30, 1995,  management  believes that  compliance
with the new IRR would not have had a material  impact on the Bank's  risk-based
capital position at that date.

    The United States Congress is considering  legislation  regarding  federally
insured banks and thrifts which would,  among other things,  (i) abolish the OTS
and transfer its functions to other  agencies of the United  States  government,
(ii) require  federally  chartered  thrifts,  including  the Bank, to convert to
national or state bank  charters or state  thrift  charters  and (iii)  impose a
one-time assessment in order to recapitalize the Savings  Association  Insurance
Fund ("SAIF").  The amount of the  assessment  will be determined by the Federal
Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  and may be up to 90 basis points on the deposit
liabilities of certain  thrifts,  including the Bank.  This  legislation is in a
preliminary stage and it cannot be determined whether, or in what form, any such
legislation will eventually be enacted.  If a 90 basis points special assessment
were  required,  it would  result in a charge to the Bank of up to $2.6  million
after  taxes,  which would have the effect of reducing  the Bank's  tangible and
core capital to $33.4 million,  or 5.6% of adjusted total assets, and risk-based
capital to $38.1  million,  or 10.1% of risk-  weighted  assets,  on a pro forma
basis as of September  30, 1995.  Assuming such a special  assessment  were made
and, as a result, the SAIF was fully recapitalized,  it would have the effect of
reducing the Bank's deposit insurance premiums to the SAIF.

    At September 30, 1995,  First  Citizens  Financial had $1.1 million of cash.
First Citizens  Financial  believes it can fund its working capital needs (which
primarily  consist of certain  shareholder-related  expenses)  from its own cash
account,  through the next several years,  without payment of dividends from the
Bank.
