         Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
                                    Form 10-Q
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) Consolidated Financial Statements

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First
     Citizens Banc Corp (Corporation) and it wholly-owned subsidiaries, The
     Citizens Banking Company (Citizens), The Castalia Banking Company
     (Castalia), SCC Resources, Inc. (SCC), and R. A. Reynolds Appraisal
     Service, Inc. (Reynolds). All significant intercompany balances and
     transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     The consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995;
     the consolidated statements of income for the three month periods ended
     June 30, 1996 and 1995, and for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996
     and 1995; the consolidated statement of shareholders equity for the three
     months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and for the six month periods ended
     June 30, 1996 and 1995; and the consolidated statement of cash flow for the
     six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 have been prepared by the
     Corporation without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
     (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
     fairly the Corporation's financial position as of June 30, 1996 and its
     results of operations and changes in cash flows for the periods ended June
     30, 1996 and 1995 have been made. Certain information and footnote
     disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted.
     The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 1996 are not
     necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
     Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Corporation described
     in the notes to financial statements contained in the Corporations's 1995
     annual report. The Corporation has consistently followed these policies in
     preparing this form 10-Q.



                                                                          Page 7

(5) Commitments, Contingencies and Off-balance Sheet Risk

The Bank subsidiaries are parties to financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet financing needs of their
customers. These include commitments to make or purchase loans, undisbursed
lines of credit, undisbursed credit card balances and letters of credit. The
Banks' exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party
to the financial instrument is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments. The Banks follow the same credit policy to make such commitments as
they use for loans recorded on the balance sheet. Since many commitments to make
loans expire without being used, the amount does not necessarily represent
future cash commitments. Collateral obtained relating to the commitments is
determined using management's credit evaluation of the borrower and may include
real estate, vehicles, business

- -------------------

Total assets of the Corporation at June 30, 1996 totalled $299,294,049 compared
to $304,061,901 at December 31, 1995. This was an decrease of $4,767,852 or 1.6
percent. Within the structure of the assets, total investment securities have

classed as available-for-sale. Investment securities decreased $3,435,764 or 4.6
percent from December 31, 1995. The decrease in the balances of the portfolio is
a result of maturities of securities.

At June 30, 1996, the loan to deposit ratio was 81.9 percent compared to 79.3
percent at December 31, 1995. This is reflective of the lack of deposit growth
in the market along with increased loan demand in the second quarter of 1996.

1.35 percent compared to 1.33 percent at December 31, 1995. For the six months

compared to 7.9 percent for the same period of 1995. Total interest expense for

Noninterest income for the second quarter 1996 totalled $860,835 compared to
$751,213 for the second quarter 1995. This was an increase of $109,622 or 14.6
percent and attributed to increases in revenue from the computer operations of
$118,445 and decreased other operating income of $17,158. Noninterest income for
the first six months of 1996 totalled $1,677,497 compared to $1,432,044 for the
same period in 1995. This was an increase of $245,453 or 17.1 percent and

The increase in employee benefits is due to increased health insurance of
$70,850. FDIC premiums for the first six months of 1996 have decreased $274,315
from the same period in 1995, reflecting the current premium structure for well
capitalized institutions.

compared to $286,616 for the second quarter 1995. This was an increase of

of the increase in total earnings before taxes of $224,870 and a decrease in tax
exempt earnings of $44,409. The federal income tax expense for the first half of

July) to a quarterly basis (February, May, August, and November). Cash dividends
paid of $.125 per common share on February 1, 1996 and $.1275 per common share

increase.

to $418,128 for the same period of 1995.


Liquidity
- ---------

Liquidity as it relates to the banking entities of the Corporation is the
ability to meet the cash demand and credit needs of its customers. For the first
six months of 1996 the Banks maintained a federal funds sold position that
averaged $8,290,000. In addition, the Banks, through their respective
correspondent banks maintain federal funds borrowing lines totalling $11,500,000
and the banks have total borrowing availability at the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Cincinnati of $9,561,239 at June 30, 1996. Finally, 81.8 percent of the
Corporation's investment and mortgage-backed investment portfolio has been
classified as available for sale which provides additional liquidity.
