PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
First Citizens Bancshares, Inc. ("Bancshares") was organized December,
1982 as a Tennessee Corporation and commenced operations in September,
1983, with the acquisition of all Capital Stock of First Citizens National
Bank of Dyersburg ("First Citizens").
First Citizens was chartered as a national bank in 1900 and presently
operates a general retail banking business in Dyersburg and Dyer County,
Tennessee providing customary banking services. First Citizens operates
under the supervision of the Comptroller of the Currency, is insured up to
applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and is a
member of the Federal Reserve System. First Citizens operates under the
day-to-day management of its own officers and directors; and formulates its
own policies with respect to lending practices, interest rates, service
charges and other banking matters.
Bancshares' primary source of income is dividends received from
First Citizens. Dividend payments are determined in relation to First
Citizens' earnings, deposit growth and capital position in compliance with
regulatory guidelines. Management anticipates that future increases in the
capital of First Citizens will be accomplished through earnings retention
or capital injection.
The following table sets forth a comparative analysis of Assets,
Deposits, Net Loans, and Equity Capital of Bancshares as of December 31,
for the years indicated:

EXPANSION
Bancshares may, subject to regulatory approval, acquire existing banks
or organize new banks. The Federal Reserve Board permits bank holding
companies to engage in non-banking activities closely related to banking or
managing or controlling banks, subject to Board approval. In making such
determination, the Federal Reserve Board considers whether the performance
of such activities by a bank holding company would offer advantages to the
public which outweigh possible adverse effects. Approval by the Federal
Reserve Bank of a Bank Holding Company's application to participate in a
proposed activity is not a determination that the activity is a permitted
non-bank activity for all bank holding companies. Approval applies only to
the applicant, although it suggests the likelihood of approval in a similar
case.
First Citizens National Bank through its strategic planning process
has stated its intention to acquire other financial institutions within the
West Tennessee Area. The Bank's objective in acquiring other banking
institutions would be for asset growth and diversification into other
market areas. Acquisitions would afford the bank increased economies of
scale within the data processing function and better utilization of human
resources. Any acquisition approved by the Board of Bancshares, Inc. would
provide a profitable investment for shareholders. In January, 1994, a
Letter of Intent to purchase was issued to a bank located in the West
Tennessee Area. Consummation of the purchase transaction is pending based
on acceptance of the offer and necessary regulatory approval.
During 1985, the Tennessee Legislature passed the Regional Reciprocal
Interstate Banking Act. This law provided for banks located within 13
states named therein to purchase banks located in Tennessee. Tennessee
banks, in turn, could purchase financial institutions located in any of the
states identified by the law. The Comptroller of the Currency ruled in
1987 that Banks may branch within any state to the extent permitted
state-chartered thrifts also engaged in the business of banking. As a
result of this ruling, the state legislature amended the 1985 Regional
Reciprocal Interstate Banking Act effective January 1, 1991 to remove
regional limitations on interstate banking. This will allow branching
within any state which allows reciprocal branching.
The issue of interstate branching is one which even bankers are unable
to agree upon. Smaller banking organizations vigorously oppose the concept
while the regionals and super-regionals continue to lobby for legislation
which will allow them access to all markets.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
Bancshares is a one-bank holding company under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is subject to supervision and
examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
As a bank holding company, Bancshares is required to file with the
Federal Reserve Board annual reports and other information regarding the
business obligations of itself and its subsidiaries. Board approval must
be obtained before Bancshares may:
(1) Acquire ownership or control of any voting securities of a bank
or Bank Holding Company where the acquisition results in the BHC
owning or controlling more than 5 percent of a class of voting
securities of that bank or BHC;
(2) Acquire substantially all assets of a bank or BHC or merge with
another BHC.
Federal Reserve Board approval is not required for a bank subsidiary
of a BHC to merge with or acquire substantially all assets of another bank
if prior approval of a federal supervisory agency, such as the Comptroller
of the Currency is required under the Bank Merger Act. Relocation of a
subsidiary bank of a BHC from one state to another requires prior approval
of the Federal Reserve Board and is subject to the prohibitions of the
Douglas Amendment.
The Bank Holding Company Act provides that the Federal Reserve Board
shall not approve any acquisition, merger or consolidation which would
result in a monopoly or which would be in furtherance of any combination or
conspiracy to monopolize or attempt to monopolize the business of banking
in any part of the United States. Further, the Federal Reserve Board may
not approve any other proposed acquisition, merger, or consolidation, the
effect of which might be to substantially lessen competition or tend to
create a monopoly in any section of the country, or which in any manner
would be in restraint of trade, unless the anti-competitive effect of the
proposed transaction is clearly outweighed in favor of public interest by
the probable effect of the transaction in meeting the convenience and needs
of the community to be served. An amendment effective February 4, 1993
further provides that an application may be denied if the applicant has
failed to provide the Federal Reserve Board with adequate assurances that
it will make available such information on its operations and activities,
and the operations and activities of any affiliate, deemed appropriate to
determine and enforce compliance with the Bank Holding Company Act and any
other applicable federal banking statutes and regulations. In addition,
consideration is given to the competence, experience and integrity of the
officers, directors and principal shareholders of the applicant and any
subsidiaries as well as the banks and bank holding companies concerned.
The Board also considers the record of the applicant and its affiliates in
fulfilling commitments to conditions imposed by the Board in connection
with prior applications.
A bank holding company is prohibited with limited exceptions from
engaging directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries in activities
unrelated to banking or managing or controlling banks. One exception to
this limitation permits ownership of a company engaged solely in furnishing
services to banks; another permits ownership of shares of the company, all
of the activities of which the Federal Reserve Board has determined after
due notice and opportunity for hearing, to be so closely related to banking
or managing or controlling banks, as to be a proper incident thereto.
Moreover, under the 1970 amendments to the Act and to the Board's
regulations, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited
from engaging in certain "tie-in" arrangements in connection with any
extension of credit or provision of any property or service. Subsidiary
banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain restrictions imposed
by the Federal Reserve Act on any extension of credit to the bank holding
5
company or to any of its other subsidiaries, or investments in the stock or
other securities thereof, and on the taking of such stock or securities as
collateral for loans to any borrower.
Bank holding companies are required to file an annual report of their
operations with the Federal Reserve Board, and they and their subsidiaries
are subject to examination by the Board.

BANKING BUSINESS
First Citizens operates a general retail banking business in Dyer
County, Tennessee. All persons who live in the community or who work in or
have a business or economic interest in the community are considered as
forming a part of the area serviced by the Bank. First Citizens provides
customary banking services, such as checking and savings accounts, funds
transfers, various types of time deposits, and safe deposit facilities. It
also finances commercial transactions and makes and services both secured
and unsecured loans to individuals, firms and corporations. Commercial
lending operations include various types of credit services for its
customers. The installment lending department makes direct loans to
individuals for personal, automobile, real estate, home improvement,
business and collateral needs. Mortgage lending makes available long term
fixed and variable rate loans to finance the purchase of residential real
estate. These loans are sold in the secondary market without retaining
servicing rights. Credit cards and open-ended credit lines are available
to both commercial customers and consumers.
First Citizens Financial Plus, Inc., a Bank Service Corporation wholly
owned by First Citizens National Bank is a licensed Brokerage Service.
This allows the bank to compete on a limited basis with numerous non-bank
entities who pose a continuing threat to our customer base, and are free to
operate outside regulatory control.
First Citizens was granted trust powers in 1925 and has maintained an
active Trust Department since that time. Assets as of December 31, 1993
were in excess of $121,000,000. Services offered by the Trust Department
include but are not limited to estate settlement, trustee of living trusts,
testamentary trustee, court appointed conservator and guardian, agent for
investment accounts, and trustee of pension and profit sharing trusts.
During 1991, the Board approved a name change for the Trust Department to
"Investment Management and Trust Services Division". The purpose of this
change was to more accurately reflect actual services provided.
The business of providing financial services is highly competitive.
The competition involves not only other banks but non-financial enterprises
as well. In addition to competing with other commercial banks in the
service area, First Citizens competes with savings and loan associations,
insurance companies, savings banks, small loan companies, finance
companies, mortgage companies, real estate investment trusts, certain
governmental agencies, credit card organizations, and other enterprises.
The following tabular analysis sets forth the competitive position of
First Citizens when compared with other financial institutions in the
service area for the period ending June 30, 1992. Information for the
period ending 6/30/93 will be made available by the Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council in April, 1994.

At December 31, 1993 Bancshares and its subsidiary, First Citizens

Having been a part of the local community in excess of 100 years, First
Citizens has been privileged to enjoy a major share of the financial
services market. Dyersburg and Dyer County are growing and with this
growth come demands for more sophisticated financial products and services.
Strategic planning has afforded the Company both the physical resources and
data processing technology necessary to meet the financial needs generated
by this growth.
USURY, RECENT LEGISLATION AND ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
Tennessee usury laws limit the rate of interest that may be charged by
banks. Certain Federal laws provide for preemption of state usury laws.
Legislation enacted in 1983 amends Tennessee usury laws to permit interest
at an annual rate of interest four (4) percentage points above the average
prime loan rate for the most recent week for which such an average rate has
been published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or
twenty-four percent (24%), whichever is less (TCA 47-14-102(3)). The "Most
Favored Lender Doctrine" permits national banks to charge the highest rate
permitted by any state lender.
Specific usury laws may apply to certain categories of loans, such as
the limitation placed on interest rates on single pay loans of $1,000.00 or
less for one year or less. Rates charged on installment loans, including
credit cards, are governed by the Industrial Loan and Thrift Companies Act.
Monetary policies of regulatory authorities, including the Federal
Reserve Board, have a significant effect on the operating results of bank
holding companies and their subsidiary banks. The Federal Reserve Board
regulates the national supply of bank credit by open market operations in
United States Government securities, changes in the discount rate on bank
borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements against bank deposits. A
tool once extensively used by the Federal Reserve Board to control growth
and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits has been
eliminated through deregulation. Competition, not regulation, dictates
rates which must be paid and/or charged in order to attract and retain
customers.
Federal Reserve Board monetary policies have materially affected the
operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to do so
in the future. The nature of future monetary policies and the effect of
such policies on the business and earnings of the company and its
subsidiaries cannot be accurately predicted.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
First Citizens owns and occupies a six-story building in Dyersburg,
Tennessee containing approximately 50,453 square feet of office space,
bearing the municipal address of First Citizens Place (formerly 200 West
Court). An expansion program completed during 1988 doubled the available
floor space of the existing facility. The space was utilized to combine
all lending and loan related functions. First Citizens owns the Banking
Annex containing total square footage of 12,989, of which approximately
3,508 square feet is rented to various tenants. The municipal address of
the bank occupied portion of the Annex is 213-219 Masonic Street.
The land and building occupied by the Downtown Drive-In Branch located
at 113 South Church Street, Dyersburg, Tennessee is owned by First
Citizens. The building, containing approximately 1,250 square feet, is
located on a lot which measures 120 feet square. Also located at this
address is a separate ATM facility wholly owned by the Bank.

The Midtown Branch of First Citizens is located at 620 U.S. 51 By-Pass
adjacent to the Green Village Shopping Center. The building contains 1,920
square feet and has been owned by First Citizens since construction. The
land on which this Branch is located, having previously been leased, was
purchased during 1987. In June of 1992 an additional 1.747 acres adjoining
the Midtown Branch property was purchased to accomodate future growth and
expansion. Also located on this property is an ATM.
In addition, the Midtown Branch Motor Bank is located on .9 acres
adjoining the Midtown Branch. This property consists of a servicing
facility and six remote teller stations and is owned in its entirety by the
Bank. A drive-through ATM will be located at this facility during 1994.
The Newbern Branch, also owned by First Citizens, is located on North
Monroe Street, Newbern, Tennessee. The building contains approximately
4,284 square feet and occupies land which measures approximately 1.5 acres.
A separate facility located in Newbern on the corner of Highway 51 and
RoEllen Road houses an ATM. Both land and building are owned by the Bank.
The Super Money Market Branch in the Kroger Supermarket on Highway 78
is operated under a franchise obtained through National Bank of Commerce,
Memphis, Tennessee. While the fixtures are owned by First Citizens, space
is made available from the Kroger Company through the franchise agreement.
1.12 acres of land located at 2211 St. John was purchased in 1993 to
locate a full service banking facility and a drive through ATM.
Architectural plans for construction of the building are currently being
studied by Bank Management.
In November, 1993, First Citizens National Bank leased space in the
Wal-Mart store #677 located at 2650 Lake Road in Dyersburg, Tennessee to
locate an Automatic Teller Machine (ATM). The ATM was installed in
December, 1993.
There are no liens or encumbrances against any of the properties owned
by First Citizens.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
During December, 1989 a lawsuit was brought against First Citizens
Bancshares, Inc. and three other co-defendants claiming that certain
individuals are entitled to a real estate commission of $138,285 on
property sold by the Bank Holding Company. The plaintiffs were seeking
prejudgement interest and punitive damages of $638,285. The lawsuit was
settled in 1993 with the Bank paying settlement costs of $5,000 to the
plaintiffs.
The Bank was also a defendant in a suit filed September 20, 1991 by a
bankruptcy trustee alleging that First Citizens was the recipient of a
preferential transfer under the bankruptcy code in the amount of $689,702
and a preferential transfer in the amount of $1,551,889. The suit sought
recovery of both transfers plus prejudgment interest. The allegations were
being contested by the Bank. The lawsuit was settled in 1993 with no
payments being made by First Citizens National Bank.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
During the fourth quarter of the year ending December 31, 1993, there
were no meetings, annual or special, of the shareholders of Bancshares. No
matters were submitted to a vote of the shareholders nor were proxies
solicited by management or any other person.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
To understand the following analysis, reference should be made to the
consolidated financial statements and other selected financial data
presented elsewhere in this report. For purposes of the following
discussion, net interest income and net interest margins are presented on a
fully taxable equivalent basis. Per share data is adjusted to reflect all
stock dividends declared through December 31, 1993.
The combination of a favorable interest rate environment reduced
operating expense and improved asset quality resulted in record earnings
for Bancshares for the year just ended. Operating results for 12/31/93
reflect significant improvement when compared to previous years. Net
Income for 1993, 1992 and 1991 was $2,638,459, $2,174,710 and $1,961,203
respectively. Earnings per share were $3.94 in 1993 compared to $3.39 in
1992 and $3.06 in 1991. Earnings per share were adjusted in 1993 to
reflect a 2.5 for 1 stock split approved by the Board of Directors in
September, 1993. Return on average assets for the years ending 12/31/93,
92 and 91 respectively were 1.17%, .95% and .89%. Return on Average Equity
was 8.71% in 1993 compared to 8.07% in 1992 and 7.60% in 1991. Improvement
reflected in the Return on Average Assets and equity comparisons for the
years indicated is due to strategic planning effort to shift the focus from
asset growth to improved profitability. Total Assets declined approximately
$5 million or 2.13% when comparing 1993 to 1992. This decline is
reflective of a run-off in consumer dollars previously invested in CD's
into alternative investment sources providing a higher rate of return. In
the present low rate environment, customers are willing to sacrifice
security in exchange for higher returns.
Net Interest Income after the provision for loan losses increased
5.16% and 7.40% in 1993 and 1992. Net Income improved each year under
comparison due to (1) a decrease in non-earning assets (Non-Accrual Loans
and Other Real Estate Owned), (2) improved income from the Broker Dealer
Subsidiary, (3) sale of annuities (a new product offered in 1993), (4)
insurance commissions, and (5) increased volume in the loan portfolio. The
provision for Loan Losses reflect a continuous decrease for the years under
comparison. Net charge-offs at 12/31/93 was $428,000 compared to $644,000
for the same period in 1992. The ratio of net charge-offs to average net
loans outstanding was .30%, .48% and .43% for 12/31/93, 92 and 91.
Other expenses decreased in 1993 when comparing YTD 1993 to YTD 1992.
The decrease is attributed to a reduction of approximately $600,000 in Data
Processing expenses. In 1992, a decision was made to terminate the
existing Facilities Management Contract with Systematics, Inc. for data
processing services. On September 25, 1992, First Citizens converted to an
in-house IBM AS/400 and Horizon Software. The change enhanced income
significantly in 1993. Salaries and employee benefits increased 5.31% and
6.38% respectively in 1993 and 1992. A further discussion of Salaries and
Benefits is included in the discussion of Non-Interest Expense.
Purchases of investment securities were limited to those having
maturities within guidelines previously established by policy. While
longer maturities would afford an immediate increase in investment income,
it was determined that the long term risk was unacceptable. Competition in
the local market for quality loans led some financial institutions to
extend credit at fixed rates for fifteen years and longer. It was
determined that transactions of this nature violated sound asset liability
management policy and would be entered into on a limited basis, if at all.
On March 4, 1993, the Bank entered into an agreement with Southern
Data Systems, Roswell, Georgia, to install a platform automation system,
"Bank Pro", for deposit and loan document processing. Bank Pro is
completely integrated with the central information file of the Bank's host
system, as well as deposit and loan accounting systems. Installation is
expected to improve customer service as well as stream line loan and
deposit operations. "Bank Pro" was successfully installed September 27,
1993.
11
Two changes were made in the composition of the management team during
the first quarter of 1993. Until this time the lending function operated
under the quidance of both a Loan Administrator and a Senior Commercial
Lending Officer. Based on the significant reduction in problem loans,
non-accrual loans, and other real estate owned, coupled with the improved
quality of new loans placed into the portfolio for the past several years,
it was determined that dual leadership was no longer needed. After careful
deliberation of the facts, the responsibilities of Loan Administrator were
assigned to the Senior Lending Officer. Lending duties once assumed by
this individual were delegated to others within the Commercial Lending
area. In addition, an analysis of earnings and other factors within the
Trust Department led management to recommend a change in leadership of this
function. This was also accomplished during the first quarter.
In September, 1993, Bank's management accepted the resignation of the
Mortgage Loan Department Manager and two other bank officers responsible
for originating long term mortgage loans. The position of manager was
filled with a qualified individual with extensive experience in mortgage
lending. The individuals hired as loan originators are equally qualified.
Changes in Financial Accounting Standards
Implementation of FASB No. 109 (Accounting for Income Taxes) has been
accomplished for years beginning after 12/15/92. A major change in the new
statement is the shift to the liability method from the deferred method of
accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes
are adjusted for tax rate changes, whereas they are not under the deferred
method. Bancshares carries deferred tax assets on its general ledger as of
12/31/93 of $60,000. This asset is primarily the result of a difference in
book and tax deductions for loan losses during the year just ended.
FASB No. 107 entitled "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments" is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1992.
This pronouncement requires disclosure of the "fair value" of all financial
instruments. The definition of "financial instruments" includes
contractual obligations, such as loans and deposits, on which disclosure of
fair value has not previously been required. Disclosure of the methods and
significant assumptions utilized in determining fair values must also be
disclosed. "Fair Value" is defined as "the amount at which the instrument
could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.
FASB No. 115 (Accounting for certain investments in Debts and Equity
Securities) is scheduled to take effect 1/1/94. Subsequent to the
effective date, only those securities contained within either the Trading
or Held for Sale Accounts will be available for sale. This limitation will
alter investment strategy by forcing banks into shorter maturities.
Interim purchases intended for resale within a twelve month period will be
placed in either the Trading or Held for Sale Account.
FASB No. 106 entitled "Employees' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits other than Pensions" is effective for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 1992. This standard applies primarily to health care benefits
and requires accrual, during the years that the employee renders service,
of the expected cost of providing those benefits to an employee and the
employee's beneficiaries and covered dependents. FASB No. 106 will have no
effect on Bancshares or the Bank since health care benefits are not
provided for its employees after retirement.
Other changes presently proposed in Financial Accounting Standards
will have no direct material effect on the bank.

NON-INTEREST INCOME
The following table reflects non-interest income for the years ending
December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991:

TOTAL NON-INTEREST
INCOME $2,080 $ 82 4.10% $1,998 $ 276 16.03% $1,722
First Citizens consistently outperforms peer group banks in the area
of non-interest income. Total Non-Interest Income reflects an increase of
16.03% and 4.10% when reviewing the years under comparison. Non-Interest
Income for 1992 includes Securities Gains of $159,820. Without the gains
from sale of securities, Non-Interest Income would have increased
$116,000 or 7% above the 1991 total. Other income increased due to
increased sales in Mortgage Loans, Brokerage Services, Accounts
Receivable Factoring and the sale of annuities. Fiduciary income decreased
approximately $50,127 when comparing 1992 to 1991. The decrease was due to
the loss of a large corporate account. Service charges on Deposit Accounts
decreased $35,000 or 7.46% from 1991 to 1992 because of decreased
collections of overdraft and business account analysis income. Non-
interest income is projected to be more in line with peer banks in 1994 due
to a slow down in refinancing of mortgage loans and management's decision
to transfer the sale of annuities from the bank's product listing to
Financial Plus, Inc., a subsidiary of the bank that offers brokerage
services. Offering a new overdraft line of credit product in 1994 is
currently being considered to meet customer needs. A decision to add this
product to the bank's credit product listing could have a slight impact on
fee income. However, Trust Department income is projected to improve over
the next three years. Under new management, the potential for increased
profits is significant.

TOTAL NON-INTEREST EXPENSE $8,733 $ (14) (.16%) $8,747 $ 608 7.47% $8,139
13
Total Non-Interest Expense increased 7.47% when comparing 1992 to
1991, then leveled off in 1993. Salaries and benefits increased 5.30% in
1993 and 6.39% in 1992. Increases can be attributed to budget based
incentive payments totaling approximately $300,000 in 1993, $151,000 in
1992, and $83,000 in 1991. Excluding bonus payments, salaries would have
decreased 9.98% in 1993 when compared to 1992. The decrease is reflective
not only of the bank's strategic efforts to maintain staffing levels
comparable to peer banks, but of efforts made to encourage quality
performance rewarded with an annual bonus payment directly related to
bank's profitability. In 1993, the budget based incentive program was
enhanced to include all employees of the bank. Under the new plan, bonuses
are paid based on the bank's ROA ranging from .85% (minimum payment) to
1.15% (maximum payment) and the employees classification level. The
prebonus ROA in 1993 was 1.24%. Also included in salaries and benefits for
the two current years are retirement benefits totaling $337,500 in 1993 and
$318,000 in 1992. Net Occupancy Expense decreased 13.65% in 1992 due to
decreased data processing cost. Other Operating Expense increased $386,000
or 10.90% when comparing 1992 to 1991. This can be partially attributed to
a $167,000 (74%) increase in FDIC insurance premiums. Total Non-Interest
Expense is closely monitored and tightly controlled by management.
One measure of efficient staffing in the banking industry is the
dollar amount of assets per employee. Peer group banks average $1,900,000.
The following table reflects progress made by First Citizens in attempting
to achieve this level:
(in thousands)
December 31 Assets Per Employee
1993 $1,563
1992 $1,643
1991 $1,393
1990 $1,380
1989 $1,408
It is conceivable that our ratios will remain higher than peer group
banks because of increased staff necessary to support extended banking
hours and non-banking services to our customers. Management's decision to
provide customers with more convenient banking hours by opening drive-in
windows at 7AM, and certain of our branches on Saturdays, mandates
additional staff which would not be necessary for banks operating only
during traditional banking hours. Likewise, the Super Money Market Branch
located in the Kroger Supermarket allows banking until 8PM on weekdays and
6PM on Saturday. Non-banking services include Trust and Brokerage
services. Full time equivalent employees was 149, 146, 163 respectively as
of 12/31/93, 92 and 91. The bank's management is making every effort to
monitor and control staffing levels. The slight increase in 1993 was a
result of management's decision to construct a full service branch bank
located at 2211 St. John near the Industrial Park. Two additional staff
members were employed as replacement for employees selected to transfer to
the branch.
COMPOSITION OF DEPOSITS
The average daily amounts of deposits and rates paid on such deposits
are summarized for the periods indicated:

TOTAL DEPOSITS $191,700 3.44% $190,472 4.12% $188,162 5.55%

The preceding table is reflective of customer response to the current
low interest rate environment. The reluctance to recommit funds into
certificates of deposits had the ultimate effect of reducing time deposits
by $13,698,000 or 13.15% since 1991, while increasing savings and time
balances by $12,696,000 or 23.99%. One factor which is not evident when
reviewing information contained within the table is the growth in "Sweep
Account Funds". Large balance customers are offered a service which
provides for funds to be automatically swept daily from a demand deposit
account into an overnight repurchase agreement. This affords commercial
customers the opportunity to earn interest on excess collected funds while
providing availability of adequate funds to clear large denomination checks
when presented for payment. The sweep balances at December 31, 1993, 1992,
and 1991 were $10,022,000, $19,049,000, $7,847,000 respectively.
During 1993, approximately $5 million was converted from sweep funds to the
bank's Investment Management and Trust Services Division.
The Bank's management is continuously monitoring and enhancing the
bank's product line to retain funds belonging to its existing customers and
to attract new customer relationships. In July, 1993, Generations Gold, a
new checking club program was offered that included discounts on travel,
food, health services, and other major products, as well as savings on bank
services. This account replaced all package accounts previously offered
and should serve to ultimately strengthen deposit totals. A time deposit
product enhanced to attract funds was the "Sweet Sixteen" Certificate of
Deposit offering a 16 month maturity and two rate change options.
The average rate paid on deposits in 1993, 1992 and 1991 was 3.44%, 4.12%
and 5.55%. A slightly higher rate was paid on deposits when compared to
average rates paid in other areas of Tennessee because of competitive
pricing in the bank's market place. Pricing of deposit products is based
on local market and Treasury Bill rates.

Improved earnings resulted from several factors, one of which was the
ability to increase loan portfolio totals in excess of $13 million from
1992 to 1993. Low interest rates prompted consumer refinancing of existing
mortgages, adding significantly to the mortgage loan portfolio. In
addition, commercial customers secured outstanding debt with real estate to
take advantage of the lower rates and to provide longer repayment terms.
Growth in the loan portfolio exceeded budget projections for 1993. The
bank's strategic plan calls for loan officers to aggressively seek quality
new loan business. The local economy continues to perform better than other
areas in Tennessee as a result of diversification. Several unrelated
industries and an excellent agricultural base provide stability not present
in less diversified economies. The loan portfolio consists of quality
diversified assets with real estate loans comprising 62%, commercial,
financial and agricultural 23%, and installment and all others 15%. Total
real estate loans outstanding as of 12/31/92 were $84,801,000.
Approximately 55% of this total are residential in nature and the remaining
45% are commercial and agricultural property.
The average yield on loans of First Citizens National Bank for the
years indicated are as follows:
1993 - 9.46%
1992 - 10.05%

Managing interest rate risk is a primary objective of asset-liability

return is variable rate loans. Loans totaling $62,544,000 (42% of total
portfolio) are subject to repricing within one year or carry a variable
interest rate. This total is down approximately $10 million from year end,
1992. Loan maturities in the one to five year category increased from
$75,426,000 at 12/31/92 to $99,133,000 at 12/31/93 due to customers demand
to lock in fixed interest rates for a longer period of time. While growth
in the portfolio is an objective, our first priority is ensuring credit
quality. Management considers the portfolio composition to be diversified,
with no concentrations in any one industry.

*Net of unearned income
Interest income on loans is recorded on an accrual basis. The accrual
of interest is discontinued on all loans, except consumer loans, which
become 90 days past due, unless the loan is well secured and in the process
of collection. Consumer loans which become past due 90 to 120 days are
charged to the allowance for loan losses. The gross interest income that
would have been recorded for the twelve months ending 12/31/92 if all loans
reported as non-accrual had been current in accordance with their original
terms and had been outstanding throughout the period is $102,000. Interest
income on loans reported as ninety days past due and on interest accrual
status was $30,000 for 1993. Loans on which terms have been modified to
provide for a reduction of either principal or interest as a result of
deterioration in the financial position of the borrower are considered to
be "Restructured Loans". First Citizens has no Restructured Loans for the
period being reported. Total Non-Performing Assets have consistently
decreased since 1991. As of December, 1993, non-performing loans are at
the lowest level since 1985. Total assets in this category as a percent of
loans and leases plus foreclosed property was .79% in 1993, 1.71% in 1992,
and 2.20% in 1991.
Certain loans contained on the bank's Internal Problem Loan List are
not included in the listing of non-accrual, past due or restructured loans.
Management is confident that, although certain of these loans may pose
credit problems, any potential for loss has been provided for by specific
allocations to the Loan Loss Reserve Account. Loan officers are required
to develop a "Plan of Action" for each problem loan within their portfolio.
Adherence to each established plan is monitored by Loan Administration and
re-evaluated at regular intervals for effectiveness.

The allowance for possible loan losses is determined by management and
approved by the Board based on previous loan loss experience, existing and
anticipated economic conditions, composition and volume of the loan
portfolio and the level of non-performing assets. A quarterly analysis is
presented to the Board in order that a determination may be made concerning
the sufficiency of the reserves.
The balance of the Loan Loss Reserve account at 12/31/93 was
$1,676,000 representing 1.12% of total loans outstanding and a 15.00%
decrease from the 1991 account balance. Additions to reserve charged
against earnings have reduced significantly since 1990 and are below peer
group levels. Management has adequately provided for potential loan losses
and risk within the bank's loan portfolio. Internal Loan Review performs
an analysis on an annual basis of approximately 75% of the portfolio.
Based on this review, each loan is classified as Pass, Substandard,
Doubtful or Loss. Loans classified as loss are charged monthly against the
Loan Loss Reserve account. Those considered by Loan Review to be
Substandard or Doubtful are included on the bank's internal Problem Loan
List. Problem Loans, as a percentage of total portfolio were 2.92% at
1993, 4.10% at 12/31/92, and 6.57% at 12/31/91.
Quarterly Reports are provided directly to the Board of Directors by
the Loan Review Officer which summarize results of the reviews. New
classifications are analyzed and discussed in detail.
Management estimates the approximate amount of charge-offs for the 12
month period ending 12/31/94 to be as follows:
Domestic Amount
Commercial, Financial & Agricultural $300,000

The investment securities portfolio is a major component of First
Citizens' earning assets. It provides a stable long term income stream and
is managed in such a way as to enhance the Company's asset/liability
management program. Investment Securities also serve as collateral for
government and other public funds deposits. Securities contained within
the portfolio consist primarily of U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government
Agency securities and tax-exempt obligations of states and political
subdivisions. All other investment securities contained therein comprise
approximately 10% of the portfolio.
The investment portfolio, when comparing 1993 to 1992 decreased
approximately $10 million. Since 1989, deposit and capital growth as well
as maturing investments were utilized to fund loan growth. Purchases of
Investments during the third quarter consisted primarily of Tax Free
Municipal Bonds. A 21% increase in tax free investments from 1992 to 1993
is a conscious effort to reduce tax liability in light of increased
earnings.
Maturities within the portfolio are made up of 31.19% within one year
and 52.92% after one year and within five years. Policy provides for 20%
maturities on an annual basis. Management has made a conscious effort to
shorten maturities based on the current interest rate environment and mark
to market rules scheduled to take effect 1/1/94. Beginning in 1994, the
portfolio will be structured to insure that future sales of securities
prior to maturity will be accomplished from either the Trading or Held for
Sale accounts.
25
During the third quarter of 1993, taxable securities totaling
$4,150,000 bearing maturity or call dates in the calendar year 1993 were
sold. The sale resulted in gross profits of approximately $22,233. Also
sold from the investment portfolio in February, 1993 was a CMO PAC with a
par value of $1,022,500 sold with a net loss of $3,280.32. These
securities were sold due to interest rate risk in a rising rate environment
if held to maturity and to fund loan growth in 1993.
For years ending December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 there was no
activity within the trading account. Interest and dividend income was non-
existant for this three year period, with ending balances being zero for
all years under comparison.
Securities in the Held for Sale Account consisted of 24,000 shares of
FHLMC Preferred Stock having a book value of $600,000. Reported in Held
for Sale at 6/30/93 was 12,000 shares of FHLMC Preferred stock valued at
$300,000. An additional 12,000 shares were purchased and placed in this
account during the third quarter 1993. The average and ending balances in
the Held for Sale Account for 12/31/93 were $500,000 and $600,000
respectively. During the fourth quarter, 1993, there were no transfers
between the Trading, Held for Sale, and Investment Accounts.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Liquidity is the ability to meet the needs of our customer base for
loans and deposit withdrawals by maintaining assets which are convertible
to cash equivalents with minimal exposure to interest rate risks. The
liquidity ratio which is determined by a comparison of net liquid assets to
net liabilities remains between 10% and 15%. The stability of our deposit
base, sound asset/liability management, a strong capital base and quality
assets assure adequate liquidity. The low interest rate environment has
placed pressure on the ability to retain funds in maturing certificates of
deposit. Many of our customers are, for the first time, looking outside
the traditional bank investment options and investing in annuities, mutual
funds and stocks. Deposits of $100,000 and over tend to be much more
volatile and interest sensitive than smaller consumer deposits which make
up the major portion of our deposit base.
Another factor which must be addressed in the current interest rate
situation is the inclination of our customers to lock in rates for longer
periods of time. In excess of $24,000,000 in loans shifted from less than
one year maturity to the one to five year category. Sound asset/liability
management principals would dictate that investments should and do follow
this trend. To address liquidity concerns, First Citizens became a member
of the Federal Home Loan Bank, thereby opening up an additional liquidity
source should the need arise.
Interest rate sensitivity varies with different types of interest-
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Overnight federal funds,
on which rates change daily, and loans which are tied to the prime rate are
much more sensitive than long-term investment securities and fixed rate
loans. The shorter term interest sensitive assets and liabilities are the
key to measurement of the interest sensitivity gap. Minimizing this gap is
a continual challenge in the present interest rate environment. This is
the primary objective of the asset/liability management program.
The following condensed gap report provides an analysis of interest
rate sensitivity of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. First
Citizens Asset/Liability Management Policy provides that the cumulative gap
as a percent of assets shall not exceed 10% for the three to six months,
six to twelve months. The Cumulative Gap position in the one to five year
category shall not exceed 20%. As evidenced by the following table, our
current position is significantly below this level, with annual income
exposure determined to be less than $100,000.

Improved earnings performance is evident when reviewing the following
table. The "domino effect" is seen in return on assets and equity, and in
improved capital ratios. The company's Strategic Plan addresses objectives
to sustain improved earnings, maintain a quality loan portfolio, and to
maintain market share by providing quality customer service. Management of
the Bank is committed to improving and maintaining earnings that are
comparable to peer banks. Ratios comparing net income to average total
assets and average shareholders equity indicate improvement from prior
years. Return on Assets at 12/31/93 was 1.17%.
Total Shareholders' equity (including Loan Loss Reserve) of First
Citizens Bancshares as of 12/31/93 was $21,700,477 compared to $19,308,975
at 12/31/92. Total Capital (excluding Reserve for Loan Losses) as a
percentage of total assets is presented in the following table for years
indicated.

1993 1992 1991 1990 1989
9.24% 8.05% 7.75% 7.34% 6.80%
Cash Dividends to Shareholders for 1993 and 1992 were $2.10 and $2.30
per share. This compares to dividends of $2.225 in 1990 and $2.10 per
share paid each year from 1987 thru 1989. In September, 1993 a 2.5 for 1
stock split on the Common Capital Stock of Bancshares was declared to
holders of record as October 15, 1993. The number of shares outstanding
increased proportionately with changes to the capital account. In
addition, a 10% stock dividend was declared payable December 15, 1992 which
provided for the issuance of one share of stock for each 10 shares owned;
with payment for fractional shares being made in cash. 25,158 shares were
issued as a result of this dividend. In 1989, a stock dividend was
declared payable December 15, 1989 which provided for the issuance of one
share of stock for each twenty shares owned. Fractional shares were also
paid in cash. 11,826 shares were issued as a result. Total shares
outstanding were 706,656 at 12/31/93 and 279,247 at 12/31/92. An amendment
to the Articles of Association ratified by the Shareholders in April, 1989
approved an increase in the number of shares authorized from 410,000 to
750,000.
Risk-based capital focuses primarily on broad categories of credit
risk and incorporates elements of transfer, interest rate and market risks.
The calculation of risk-based capital ratio is accomplished by dividing
qualifying capital by weighted risk assets. Effective January 1, 1993, the
minimum risk-based capital ratio increased to 8.00%. At least one-half or
4.00% must consist of core capital (Tier 1), and the remaining 4.00% may be
in the form of core (Tier 1) or supplemental capital (Tier 2). Tier 1
capital/core capital consists of common stockholders equity, qualified
perpetual stock and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries.
36
Tier 2 Capital/Supplementary capital consists of the allowance for loan and
lease losses, perpetual preferred stock, term subordinated debt, and other
debt and stock instruments.
Bancshares has historically maintained capital in excess of minimum
levels established by the Federal Reserve Board. The risk-based capital
ratio for Bancshares and First Citizens National Bank as of 12/31/93 was
13.88 percent and 12.73 percent respectively, significantly above the 8.0
percent level as required by regulation. With the exception of the Reserve
for Loan and Lease Losses, all capital is Tier 1 level. Growth in capital
will be maintained through retained earnings. There is no reason to assume
that income levels will not be sufficient to maintain an adequate capital
ratio.

financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing

obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,

used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Citizens

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1993
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of First Citizens Bancshares,
Inc. and subsidiary conform to generally accepted accounting
principles. The significant policies are described as follows:
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of First
Citizens Bancshares, Inc. and First Citizens National Bank. First
Citizens Bancshares, Inc.'s investment in its subsidiary shown on
the Parent Company Balance Sheet is stated at equity in the
underlying assets. All inter-company items are eliminated in
consolidation.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The consolidated financial statements are presented using the
accrual basis of accounting.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents include amounts due from banks which do not bear
interest and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are
purchased and sold for one day periods.
SECURITIES
Investment securities are carried at cost, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, computed
using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest
method. The adjusted cost of the specific security sold is used to
compute gains or losses on the sale of securities.
Trading account securities are carried at market value. Gains and
losses on sales of trading account securities and market value
adjustments to trading account securities are included in net
securities gains and losses on the consolidated statement of income.
Debt securities are classified, when purchased, as an investment
security or a trading account asset based on management's intent.
Securities which are purchased for resale in the foreseeable future
are categorized as trading account assets while those which
management intends to hold for an extended time or until maturity
are classified as investment securities.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses which is charged to operations is
based on management's assessment of the quality of the loan
portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors.
In management's judgment, the provision for loan losses will
maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level to
absorb potential loan losses which may exist in the portfolio.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. The provision for depreciation is computed using
straight-line and accelerated methods for both financial reporting
and income tax purposes. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs
are charged against income as incurred. Cost of major additions
and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their
estimated useful lives.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies
(Continued)
REAL ESTATE ACQUIRED BY FORECLOSURE
Real estate acquired through foreclosure is reflected in other
assets and is recorded at the lower of the related outstanding loan
amount or estimated net realizable value at the date of
acquisition. Adjustments made at the date of foreclosure are
charged to the allowance for loan losses. Expenses incurred in
connection with ownership, subsequent adjustments to book value,
and gains and losses upon disposition are included in other
non-interest expenses.
Adjustments to net realizable value are made annually subsequent to
acquisition based on appraisal.
INCOME TAXES
First Citizens Bancshares, Inc. uses the accrual method of
accounting for federal income tax reporting. Deferred tax assets or
liabilities are computed for significant differences in financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities which result from
temporary differences in financial statement and tax accounting.
LOANS AND INTEREST INCOME ON LOANS
Interest income on commercial and real estate loans is computed on
the basis of the daily principal balance outstanding using the
accrual method. Interest on installment loans is credited to
operations by the rule of 78th method, which does not represent a
significant financial deviation from the interest method.
NET INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
Net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period, after giving retroactive effect to
stock dividends and stock splits.
INCOME FROM FIDUCIARY ACTIVITIES
Income from fiduciary activities is recorded on the accrual basis.

1993 1992 1991
Federal income tax expense (benefit)
Current $1,015,549 $ 760,234 $ 660,220
Deferred (174,849) 108,529 83,882

differed from the statutory rates of 34%. The reasons for these
differences are as follows:
1993 1992 1991
Tax expense at statutory rate $1,305,997 $1,097,847 $ 976,899

SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes" (175,989)
$1,077,430 $1,054,252 $ 912,029
Deferred tax liabilities have been provided for taxable temporary
differences related to depreciation, accretion of securities discounts and
other minor items. Deferred tax assets have been provided for deductible
temporary differences related primarily to the allowance for loan losses and
adjustments for loss on repossessed real estate. The net deferred tax assets
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include the following
components:
December 31
1993 1992
Deferred tax liabilities $(398,383) $(402,115)
Deferred tax assets 458,496 411,517
Net deferred tax assets $ 60,113 $ 9,402
Effective January 1, 1993, First Citizens Bancshares, Inc. and its
subsidiary adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which
requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and
reporting for income taxes. Accordingly, the difference between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities is determined
periodically. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are then computed
for those differences that have future tax consequences using the currently
enacted tax laws and rates that apply to the periods in which they are
expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, if
appropriate, to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount which is actually
expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the current tax payable or
refundable for the period plus or minus the net change in the deferred tax
assets or liabilities.
The effect of adopting SFAS No. 109 on 1993 net income from operations
was an increase of $50,711. The cumulative effect of the accounting change
on years prior to January 1, 1993, of $125,278 is included in 1993 income.

Note 10 - Stock Dividends
In December, 1992, First Citizens Bancshares, Inc., declared a ten
percent stock dividend. The transaction was recorded by transferring par
value ($10 per share) from retained earnings to the capital stock account
and the balance of market value per share ($52.50) from retained earnings to
surplus.
On October 20, 1993, the Board of Directors declared a 2.5 for 1 stock
split, which was paid on November 15, 1993, in the form of a dividend of one
and one-half additional shares of the Company's common stock for each share
owned by the Stockholders of record on October 15, 1993. Par value remained
at $10 per share. The split resulted in the issuance of 422,698 additional
shares of common stock from authorized but unissued shares and in the
transfer of $4,226,980 from surplus to common stock, representing the par
value of the shares issued.
All references to earnings per share and to weighted average shares
outstanding have been restated to give retroactive recognition to an
equivalent change in capital structure in those periods.
Note 11 - Regulatory Capital Requirements
First Citizens Bancshares, Inc., is subject to minimum capital
requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Bank and which are designed to
measure capital adequacy in terms of credit risk. The regulations require
that total capital equal at least 8.0% of weighted risk assets as of
December 31, 1993.
In the case of First Citizens Bancshares, Inc., capital consists of
common stockholders' equity and the allowance for loan losses of which in
excess of 90% is stockholders' equity or Tier I capital. At December 31,
1993, the Corporation's risk-based capital ratio is 12.89%.
Note 12 - Restrictions on Cash and Due From Bank Accounts
The Corporation's bank subsidiary maintains cash reserve balances as
required by the Federal Reserve Bank. Average required reserve balances
during 1993 and 1992 were $362,000 and $268,000 respectively.
Note 13 - Restrictions on Capital and Payment of Dividends
The Corporation is subject to capital adequacy requirements imposed by
the Federal Reserve Bank. In addition, the Corporation's National Bank
Subsidiary is restricted by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
from paying dividends in any years which exceed the net earnings of the
current year plus retained profits of the preceding two years. As of
December 31, 1993, approximately $5.7 million of retained earnings was
available for future dividends from the subsidiary to the parent corporation.
The 1993 cash dividends reflected $2.10 per share ($.60, $.60, $.65,
$.25). The 4th quarter dividend of $.25 was subsequent to the 2.5 for 1
stock split. The adjusted cash dividends per share for those years affected
are as follows:
1993 1992 1991 1990 1989

Note 17 - Noncash Investing and Financing Activities

Note 18 - Notes Payable of Employee Stock Ownership Plan
On March 21, 1988, First Citizens National Bank Employee Stock
Ownership Plan and Trust borrowed the sum of $800,000 from another
financial institution to acquire additional stock of First Citizens
Bancshares, Inc. At December 31, 1992, the outstanding principal balance was
$160,000 which was due in one installment on June 15, 1993. The note was
retired during 1993.
Note 19 - Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
First Citizens National Bank is a party to financial instruments with
off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the
financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include
commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These
instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk which are
not recognized in the statement of financial position.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by
the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend
credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual
amount of those instruments. The same policies are utilized in making
commitments and conditional obligations as are used for creating on-balance
sheet instruments. Ordinarily, collateral or other security is not
required to support financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as
long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Loan commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination
clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many commitments are
expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts
do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer's
credit-worthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis and collateral
required, if deemed necessary by the bank upon extension of credit, is based
on management's credit evaluation of the counter party. At December 31,
1993, First Citizens National Bank had outstanding loan commitments of
$46,655,000. Of these commitments, none had an original maturity in excess
of one year.
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional
commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer
to a third party. Those guarantees are issued primarily to support public
and private borrowing arrangements, and the credit risk involved is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The
bank requires collateral to secure these commitments when it is deemed
necessary. At December 31, 1993, outstanding standby letters of credit
totaled $2,144,000.

Note 19 - Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk (Continued)
In the normal course of business, First Citizens National Bank extends
loans which are subsequently sold to other lenders, including agencies of
the U.S. Government. Certain of these loans are conveyed with recourse
creating off-balance sheet risk with regard to the collectibility of the
loan. At December 31, 1993, the Bank had loans sold totaling $2,144,124.
Note 20 - Significant Concentrations of Credit Risk
First Citizens National Bank grants agribusiness, commercial,
residential and personal loans to customers throughout a wide area of the
mid-southern United States. A large majority of the Bank's loans, however,
are concentrated in the immediate vicinity of the Bank or northwest
Tennessee. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a
substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor their obligations is
dependent upon the agribusiness and industrial economic sectors of that
geographic area.
Note 21 - Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following assumptions were made and methods applied to estimate the fair
value of each class of financial instruments reflected on the balance sheet
of the Corporation:
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For instruments which qualify as cash equivalents, as described in Note
1 of Notes to Financial Statements, the carrying amount is assumed to be
fair value.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Fair value for investment securities is based on quoted market price, if
available. If quoted market price is not available, fair value is
estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
LOANS RECEIVABLE
Fair value of variable-rate loans with no significant change in credit
risk subsequent to loan origination is based on carrying amounts. For
other loans, such as fixed rate loans, fair values are estimated
utilizing discounted cash flow analyses, applying interest rates
currently offered for new loans with similar terms to borrowers of
similar credit quality. Fair values of loans which have experienced
significant changes in credit risk have been adjusted to reflect such
changes.
The fair value of accrued interest receivable is assumed to be its
carrying value.
DEPOSIT LIABILITIES
DEMAND DEPOSITS
The fair values of deposits which are payable on demand, such as
interest-bearing and non-interest bearing checking accounts, passbook
savings and certain money market accounts are equal to the carrying
amount of the deposits.
VARIABLE-RATE DEPOSITS
The fair value of variable-rate money market accounts and certificates
of deposit approximate their carrying value at the balance sheet date.

Note 21 - Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
FIXED-RATE DEPOSITS
For fixed-rate certificates of deposit, fair values are estimated using
discounted cash flow analyses which apply interest rates currently being
offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated monthly maturities
on time deposits.
SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
Carrying amounts of short-term borrowings, which include securities sold
under agreement to repurchase and notes payable of the employee stock
ownership plan which matures June 15, 1993, approximate their fair
values at December 31, 1992.
LONG-TERM DEBT
The fair value of the Corporation's long-term debt is estimated using
the discounted cash flow approach, based on the institution's current
incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
At December 31, 1993, the long-term debt interest rate equals the fair
market rate and, as a result, the carrying value of long-term debt
approximates its fair value.
OTHER LIABILITIES
Other liabilities consist primarily of accounts payable, accrued
interest payable and accrued taxes. These liabilities are short-term
and their carrying values approximate their fair values.
