NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying
unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation of
the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. For further information, refer to the December 31, 1995
consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K.
2. On September 22, 1995, the Company acquired 98.85% of the common stock of
Integrity National Life Insurance Company ("Integrity National") from
Southwestern Life Corporation ("Southwestern"), a Dallas-based insurance
holding company (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition was accounted for as
a purchase with the results of Integrity National's operations being
included in the consolidated statements since the date of acquisition. The
Company acquired the remaining 1.15% of the common stock of Integrity
National in conjunction with the merger of Integrity National into a
Company subsidiary as of December 31, 1995.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
FINANCIAL POSITION
Fixed maturities increased $6,305,064, based on amortized cost, during the
first nine months of 1996. Equity securities increased $4,828,024 and
$4,988,068 on a cost and market value basis, respectively, during the same
period. Gross unrealized appreciation for available-for-sale fixed maturities
and equity securities decreased $1,701,394 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.
OPERATIONS
An analysis of results for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995, before federal income taxes, by segment is shown below.

$109,278 $1,152,312 $ 138,325 $ 104,508
</TABLE>
The improvement in Life and Annuity segment results (before realized
investment gains) is principally attributable to additional margins generated by
the September 1995 acquisition of "Integrity National". These additional
margins, including expense savings from the "Acquisition", have offset increased
interest expense associated with the "Acquisition" financing. The improvement
in the Accident and Health segment is attributable to a decrease in cancer
claims partially offset by an increase in dental claims. In addition, a larger
portion of overhead has been allocated to the Life and Annuity segment due to
the increased premium volume associated with the "Acquisition".
Total premiums and other considerations increased 84% during the first nine
months of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. The increase is primarily
attributable to growth in the Life and Annuity segment, where traditional life
product premiums increased 250% during the first nine months of 1996 compared
to 1995. The September 1995 "Acquisition" acquisition accounted for
approximately 95% of the life premium increase with the remaining increase being
attributable to sales of the Company's graded death benefit product. The
Company's Accident and Health premiums increased 36.6% due to increased sales of
the Company's dental products.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (Continued)
CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY
Cash flow from operations decreased $903,821 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease
was principally attributable to the payment during the first quarter of 1996 of
integration costs, bonuses, agent awards, and other expenses associated with the
"Acquisition" which were accrued as of September 30, 1995.
The $10,540,870 of cash used in investing activities resulted from the
Company's investment of cash balances into fixed maturities and stocks.
The change in cash provided by financing activities during the first nine
months of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995 is attributable to the
issuance of an additional 213 shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock
in 1996 offset by a nonrecurring bank borrowing in 1995.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO
GUARANTOR'S COMPENSATION AGREEMENT
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT ("Amendment") is made as of September 21, 1996 by and
between CITIZENS FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a Kentucky corporation ("CFC"), and
DARRELL R. WELLS, a Kentucky resident ("Mr. Wells"), TO the GUARANTOR'S
COMPENSATION AGREEMENT dated as of September 22, 1995 by and between them (the
"Original Agreement", defined terms in which shall have the same meanings when
used herein unless otherwise defined herein).
CFC and Mr. Wells desire to amend the Original Agreement in certain
particulars set forth herein and no further.
NOW, in consideration for their respective agreements set forth herein and
other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, CFC and Wells are agreed and intending to be bound do hereby
agree, as follows:
1. Guaranty. Mr. Wells affirms that he continues to be bound by the Guaranty.
2. Interim Compensation to Mr. Wells. Solely with respect to the period
beginning September 22, 1996 (that is, the first anniversary of the date CFC
issued the Bank Note to the Bank) and ending September 22, 1997 (the "Interim
Period"), Mr. Wells waives and relinquishes his right to the Annual Guaranty Fee
provided by the Original Agreement. In consideration therefor, CFC agrees to
pay to SMC Advisors, Inc., a Kentucky corporation with which Mr. Wells is
affiliated and that serves as an investment adviser for CFC and its affiliates
("SMC"), a supplemental portfolio management fee with respect to its services
under the Investment Management Agreement dated as of July 1, 1994 between CFC
and SMC (the "Management Agreement"), determined as follows (the "Supplemental
Fee"), which shall be in addition to (and not in lieu of) the consideration
otherwise payable to SMC pursuant to the Management Agreement:
A. The Supplemental Fee shall be payable solely with respect to the
period beginning October 1, 1996 and ending September 30, 1997 (the "Applicable
Period").
B. Subject to the provisions of 2C and 2D next following, the
Supplemental Fee shall be equal to 15% of the sum of the "Net Unrealized Capital
Gains" or "Net Unrealized Capital Losses" plus the "Net Realized Capital Gains"
or "Net Realized Capital Losses" in the "Stocks and Bonds Portfolio" (as the
terms in quotations are defined in the Management Agreement) over the Applicable
Period. All provisions (other than the applicable percentage) of and
definitions in the Management Agreement applicable to calculating compensation
under 5B thereof shall be applicable to calculating the Supplemental Fee
hereunder.
C. In the event CFC pays all or any portion of the principal of the Bank
Note during the Interim Period, the Supplemental Fee shall be reduced to an
amount that bears the same proportion to the Supplemental Fee calculated
according to B next preceding as the daily average outstanding principal
balance of the Bank Note during the Interim Period bears to $2,000,000.
D. In the event the Management Agreement is terminated at any time during
the Interim Period, the Supplemental Fee calculated according to B and C next
preceding shall be prorated to the date of such termination.
E. In the event the Management Agreement is terminated at any time during
the Interim Period, CFC shall pay to Mr. Wells an amount equal to 133-1/3% of
the difference between the Supplemental Fee calculated according to B and C
preceding and the amount paid to SMC pursuant to D preceding.
3. Payment. As soon as practicable after September 30, 1997, CFC shall
calculate the Supplemental Fee, if any, payable to SMC pursuant to B, C and
D of 2 and, if applicable, the amount, if any, payable to Mr. Wells pursuant
to E of 2. Subject to receipt of any necessary approval from the Bank, CFC
shall pay to SMC and, if applicable, Mr. Wells in cash the amount or amounts, if
any, calculated pursuant to the preceding sentence as soon as possible after
they are calculated but in any event prior to November 15, 1997; provided,
however, that if the Bank shall not give any necessary consent, CFC shall pay
such amount or amounts in the form of a Guaranty Note or Guaranty Notes as
provided in and subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the Original
Agreement.
4. Reaffirmation of Original Agreement. Except as provided herein with
respect to the Interim Period, the Original Agreement remains in full force and
effect in accordance with its terms. Except as the parties may otherwise agree,
CFC's obligation to pay the Guaranty Fee shall resume effective September 22,
1997 according to the schedule set forth in the Original Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and
year first above written.
