NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
CITIZENS BANKING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Citizens Banking
Corporation ("Citizens") have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim
financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2003. The
balance sheet at December 31, 2002 has been derived from the audited financial
statements at that date but does not include all of the information and
footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in Citizens' 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: Citizens' stock-based compensation plans are accounted
for based on the intrinsic value method set forth in Accounting Principles Board
("APB") Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
interpretations. Compensation expense for employee stock options is generally
not recognized if the exercise price of the option equals or exceeds the fair
value of the stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense for restricted
share awards is ratably recognized over the period of service, usually the
restricted period, based on the fair value of the stock on the date of grant.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share
if Citizens had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, to its stock option awards.

NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
AMENDMENT OF STATEMENT 133 ON DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES: In
April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149 ("SFAS 149") which amends and
clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and for
hedging activities under SFAS 133. The statement clarifies under what
circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the
characteristics of a derivative, clarifies when a derivative contains a
financing component, amends the definition of an underlying to conform it to
language used in FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Other, and amends certain other existing pronouncements. The
provisions of SFAS 149 are effective for contracts entered into or modified
after June 30, 2003. These changes required by SFAS 149 are not expected to have
a material impact on Citizens' results of operations, financial position, or
liquidity.
CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES: In January 2003, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN
46"), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The objective of this
interpretation is to provide guidance on how to identify a variable interest
entity ("VIE") and determine when the assets, liabilities, non-controlling
interests, and results of operations of a VIE need to be included in a company's
consolidated financial statements. A company that holds variable interests in an
entity will need to consolidate the entity if the company's interest in the VIE
is such that the company will absorb a majority of the VIE's expected losses
and/or receive a majority of the entity's expected
7
residual returns, if they occur. FIN 46 also requires additional disclosures by
primary beneficiaries and other significant variable interest holders. The
provisions of this interpretation, as applied to VIE's created after January 31,
2003, became effective upon issuance in January 2003. For VIE's created before
February 1, 2003, the provisions of Fin 46 become effective for Citizens in the
first interim period after June 15, 2003. Citizens adopted the provisions of FIN
46 effective January 1, 2003. Based on Citizens' current understanding of FIN
46, the adoption of this interpretation for new and pre-existing VIE's did not
nor is it expected to materially impact Citizens' financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
NOTE 3. SPECIAL CHARGE
In the third quarter of 2002, Citizens recorded a special charge of $13.8
million ($9.0 million after-tax) that included restructuring and impairment
costs associated with the reorganization of our consumer, business and wealth
management lines of business. The reorganization resulted from a detailed review
of our consumer banking, business banking and wealth management areas by key
members of management with assistance from industry consultants. This review
revealed opportunities for process change, staff reassignment, reporting
structure changes, branch closures, expense reduction and business growth. As a
result of the reorganization, Citizens displaced 140 employees. Displaced
employees are offered severance packages and outplacement assistance.
Additionally, twelve banking offices were closed in the fourth quarter of 2002
and six additional offices were closed during the second quarter of 2003.
The following provides details on the special charge and the related remaining
liability as of June 30, 2003.

core deposit intangible and the related amortization to the Business Banking and
Consumer Banking business lines. The core deposit intangible and the related
amortization was previously recorded in the

Other business line. Prior period information has been restated to reflect this
change. Selected line of business segment information, as adjusted, for the
three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 is provided below.

NOTE 6. LONG-TERM DEBT
The components of long-term debt as of June 30, 2003, December 31, 2002 and June
30, 2002 are presented below.

-------- -------- --------
Total long-term debt $947,657 $599,313 $629,548
======== ======== ========
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) At June 30, 2003, rates on FHLB advances are fixed and variable ranging
from 1.31% to 7.10% maturing in 2003 through 2021. In 2002 rates on FHLB
advances were fixed and variable ranging from 1.90% to 7.10% maturing in
2002 through 2021. The majority of the fixed rate FHLB advances are
convertible to a floating rate at the option of the Federal Home Loan Bank.
(b) On January 27, 2003, Citizens issued $125 million of 5.75% subordinated
notes maturing February 1, 2013. Citizens also entered into a interest rate
swap to hedge the interest rate risk on the subordinated debt. As of June
30, 2003, the notional value and fair value of the hedge was $125 million
and $8.2 million, respectively. Under the contract, we receive an average
fixed rate of 4.36% and pay a variable rate equal to six month LIBOR. The
weighted average rate is 1.35% at June 30, 2003 and reprices every six
months. The initial spread on the swap contract is 3.01%, effectively
reducing the net cost of borrowing from 5.75% to 2.74% for the first six
month period. Issuance costs of $1.3 million were incurred related to the
debt issuance. These costs have been capitalized and are included in other
assets on the balance sheet. The issuance costs are being amortized over 10
years as a component of interest expense. The subordinated debt qualifies
under the risk-based capital guidelines as Tier 2 supplementary capital for
regulatory purposes.
(c) On June 26, 2003, Citizens issued $25 million of floating rate, 30 year
trust preferred securities through an unconsolidated special purpose trust
to unrelated investors. The gross proceeds from issuance were used to
purchase a floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debenture
(the "Debenture") issued by Citizens, which is the sole asset of the trust.
The Debenture matures in thirty years and bears interest at an annual rate
equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 3.10%, payable quarterly beginning in
September, 2003. The initial interest rate is 4.16%. Interest is adjusted
on a quarterly basis provided that prior to May 2008, the interest rate
shall not exceed 11.75%. The Debenture is an unsecured obligation of
Citizens and is junior in the right of payment to all future senior
indebtedness of Citizens. Citizens has guaranteed that interest payments on
the Debenture made to the trust will be distributed by the trust to the
holders of the trust preferred securities. Issuance costs of $490,000 were
incurred related to the issuance. These costs have been capitalized and are
included in other assets on the balance sheet. The issuance costs are being
amortized over five years as a component of interest expense. The trust
preferred securities of the special purpose trust are callable after five
years at par and must be redeemed in 30 years after issuance. For
regulatory purposes, these trust preferred securities qualify under the
risk-based capital guidelines as Tier 1 supplementary capital.

NOTE 8. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as
amended by SFAS No. 138 and SFAS No. 149, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," (collectively referred to as "SFAS
133") establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships
or not, are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value.
Citizens designates its derivatives based upon criteria established by SFAS No.
133. For a derivative designated as a fair value hedge, the derivative is
recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. Any difference between
the fair value change of the hedge versus the fair value change of the hedged
item is considered to be the "ineffective" portion of the hedge. The
ineffectiveness of the hedge is recorded in current earnings. For a derivative
designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the derivative's gain
or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged
exposure affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of a gain or loss must be
reported in earnings immediately.
Citizens may use derivative instruments to hedge the variability in interest
payments or protect the value of certain assets and liabilities recorded in its
balance sheet from changes in interest rates. Citizens uses interest rate
contracts such as interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. These
contracts are designated as hedges of specific assets or liabilities. The net
interest receivable or payable on swaps is accrued and recognized as an
adjustment to the interest income or expense of the hedged asset or liability.
At June 30, 2003, Citizens had interest rate swaps with a notional value of $125
million. The fair value of the swaps was $8.2 million as of June 30, 2003.
Citizens receives an average fixed rate of 4.36% and pays a variable rate based
on six-month LIBOR. The contracts terminate on February 1, 2013.

NOTE 9. OBLIGATIONS UNDER STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT AND OTHER CONTINGENT
GUARANTEES
In the normal course of business Citizens provides financial and performance
standby letters of credit to its clients. Financial standby letters of credit
guarantee future payment of client financial obligations to third parties. They
are issued primarily for services provided or to facilitate the shipment of
goods. Performance standby letters of credit are irrevocable guarantees to make
payment in the event a specified third party fails to perform under a
nonfinancial contractual obligation. Standby letters of credit arrangements
generally expire within one year and have essentially the same level of credit
risk as extending loans to clients and are subject to Citizens' normal credit
policies. Inasmuch as these arrangements generally have fixed expiration dates
or other termination clauses, most expire unfunded and do not necessarily
represent future liquidity requirements. Collateral is obtained based on
management's assessment of the client and may include receivables, inventories,
real property and equipment.

INTRODUCTION
The following commentary presents management's discussion and analysis of
Citizens Banking Corporation's financial condition and results of operations for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and should be read in
conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes
included elsewhere in this report and the audited consolidated financial
statements and notes contained in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Unless
the context indicates otherwise, all references in the discussion to "Citizens,"
the "Company," "our," "us" and "we" refer to Citizens Banking Corporation and
its subsidiaries.
FORWARD -LOOKING STATEMENTS
Discussions in this quarterly report that are not statements of historical fact
(including statements that include terms such as "believe", "expect", and
"anticipate") are forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties, and our actual future results could materially differ from those
discussed. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include,
but are not limited to, adverse changes in our loan portfolios and the resulting
credit risk-related losses and expenses, our future lending and collections
experience and the potential inadequacy of our loan loss reserves, interest rate
fluctuations and other adverse changes in economic or financial market
conditions, the potential inability to hedge certain risks economically, adverse
changes in competition and pricing environments, our potential failure to
maintain or improve loan quality levels and origination volume, our potential
inability to continue to attract core deposits, the potential lack of market
acceptance of our products and services, adverse changes in our relationship
with major customers, unanticipated technological changes that require major
capital expenditures, adverse changes in applicable laws and regulatory
requirements, unanticipated environmental liabilities or costs, our potential
inability to integrate acquired operations or complete our restructuring, the
effects of terrorist attacks and potential attacks, our success in managing the
risks involved in the foregoing, and other risks and uncertainties detailed in
this report and from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Other factors not currently anticipated by management may also materially and
adversely affect our results of operations. We do not undertake, and expressly
disclaim any obligation, to update or alter our forward-looking statements
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as
required by applicable law.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Citizens' consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and follow general
practices within the industries in which it operates. Application of these
principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information
available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this
information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates,
assumptions and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance
on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such, have a greater
possibility of producing results that could be materially different than
originally reported. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity
of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions and estimates
underlying those amounts, management has identified the determination of the
allowance for loan losses and the benefit obligation and net periodic pension
expense for our employee pension and postretirement benefit plans to be the
accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments, and,
therefore, the most subject to revision as new information becomes available.
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Item 7 of our
2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Note 1 to the audited consolidated
financial statements contained in that report. There have been no material
changes to those policies or the estimates made pursuant to those policies
during the most recent quarter.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
EARNINGS SUMMARY
Citizens earned net income of $13,214,000, or $0.30, per diluted share for the
three months ended June 30, 2003, compared with net income of $25,339,000, or
$0.56 per diluted share, for the same quarter of 2002. Returns on average assets
and average equity for the quarter were 0.68% and 8.29%, respectively, compared
with 1.35% and 14.48%, respectively, in 2002. For the six months ended June 30,
2003, net income was $28,272,000 or $0.65 per diluted share, compared to
$49,442,000 or $1.09 per diluted share for the same period of 2002. Returns on
average assets and average equity during the first six months of 2003 were 0.75%
and 8.89%, respectively, compared with 1.32% and 14.22%, respectively, in 2002.
14
Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 declined from the
comparable periods in 2002 due to a higher loan loss provision, lower net
interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by lower noninterest
expense and income taxes. The second quarter provision for loan losses of $25.7
million represented a $16.3 million or 173% increase over the same quarter a
year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the provision for loan losses
was $44.6 million compared with $14.7 million for the same period in 2002. The
increase in provision expense was due to an unanticipated credit-related
charge-off of $11.5 million in the first quarter of 2003 and risk rating
downgrades in the commercial portfolio in the second quarter of 2003, which
caused an additional $18.5 million of formula reserves. The $11.5 million
charge-off was on a single credit in which collateral value was materially
overstated (based on borrowing base reports falsified by the borrower). Net
interest income decreased in both the three and six month periods primarily due
to a lower net interest margin. Gains recorded in the second quarter of 2002 for
the sale of our merchant services business and from the sale of securitized
mortgages contributed to the decline in noninterest income. The decrease in
noninterest expense in both the three and six month periods primarily reflected
lower bankcard expense resulting from the sale of our merchant services business
in the second quarter of 2002 and cost savings from our third quarter 2002
restructuring initiatives.
NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGIN
The primary source of our revenue is net interest income. Net interest income is
the difference between interest income on earning assets, such as loans and
securities, and interest expense on liabilities, including interest-bearing
deposits and borrowings, used to fund those assets. The amount of net interest
income is affected by fluctuations in the amount and composition of earning
assets and funding sources and in the yields earned and rates paid,
respectively, on these assets and liabilities. Changes in net interest income
are most often measured through two statistics - interest spread and net
interest margin. The interest spread represents the difference between yields on
earning assets and the rates paid for interest-bearing liabilities. The net
interest margin is expressed as the percentage of net interest income to average
earning assets. Both the interest spread and net interest margin are presented
on a tax-equivalent basis. Because noninterest-bearing funding sources or free
funding, primarily demand deposits and shareholders' equity, also support
earning assets, the net interest margin exceeds the interest spread.
Net interest income declined $2.5 million to $72.9 million in the second quarter
of 2003 compared to $75.4 million in the second quarter of 2002 due to a
decrease in the net interest margin partially offset by an increase in earning
assets. For the first six months of 2003, net interest income declined $5.9
million due to a 20 basis point decline in net interest margin partially offset
by an increase in earning assets.
Net interest margin in the second quarter of 2003 declined to 4.17% from 4.45%
in the second quarter of 2002. Net interest margin for the first six months of
2003 declined to 4.25% from 4.45% for the same period in 2002. The decrease in
net interest margin in both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003
reflected narrowing interest rate spreads and a decline in the contribution of
noninterest bearing funding sources (noninterest bearing liabilities and
shareholders' equity less nonearning assets). The interest rate spread has
continued to narrow due to our asset-sensitive interest rate risk position and
the continued low interest rate environment. The low level of interest rates is
generating increased refinancing of fixed rate commercial loans and high
mortgage loan and mortgage-related investment securities prepayments, which are
reinvested at lower rates. Origination of new home equity credits at lower
("teaser") interest rates than existing loans in the consumer portfolio has also
contributed to the decline. Net noninterest bearing funding sources declined in
the first half of 2003 compared to the same period of the prior year due to our
investment in bank-owned life insurance in the third quarter of 2002 and a
decline in shareholders' equity.
In the second quarter of 2003, net interest margin was also affected by our
strategy to expand the investment portfolio. Late in the first quarter of 2003,
we began purchasing mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage
obligations with average lives of three to five years and an average duration of
two to four years, resulting in interest spreads of up to 250 basis points over
funding sources. These purchases increased net interest income in the second
quarter of 2003 compared to the first quarter 2003 due to the higher level of
earning assets. However, the net interest margin percentage declined as the
interest spreads on the purchased securities over their funding sources was less
than the overall interest spread of the company. With the further decline in
short term interest rates in response to the Federal Reserve's action to lower
the Federal Funds rate again in the second quarter of 2003, and the continuation
of the mortgage refinancing trend, which effects both our mortgage loan
portfolio and our mortgage-related investment securities portfolio, we expect
some continued contraction of net interest margin in future quarters and a
decline in net interest income. We continue to monitor the balance sheet to
attempt to insulate net interest income from significant swings caused by
interest rate volatility. Our policies in this regard are further discussed in
"-- Interest Rate Risk".

(1) Changes are based on actual interest income and do not reflect taxable
equivalent adjustments.
(2) Changes not solely due to changes in volume or rates has been allocated in
proportion to the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.
The decrease in net interest income reflected unfavorable rate-related variances
partially offset by favorable volume-related variances. The net unfavorable
rate-related variance primarily reflects our asset-sensitive interest rate risk
position coupled with the Federal Reserve's actions in the fourth quarter of
2002 and the second quarter of 2003 to lower short-term interest rates by 50 and
25 basis points, respectively. Yields on commercial loans and certain consumer
home equity loans were particularly impacted as many of these loans are tied to
the prime interest rate, which declined in step with the decline in short-term
interest rates. Lower interest rates have also led to a decrease in our cost of
funds. We refinanced $75 million of high cost Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB")
debt in the third quarter of 2002 and continue to see a shift in deposit
accounts from higher cost savings and time deposits to lower cost demand
deposits. The net favorable volume variance reflected our previously mentioned
strategy to expand the investment portfolio, the retention of a portion of the
mortgage backed securities created from our Federal National Mortgage
Association ("FNMA") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC")
securitizations in 2002 and growth in home equity lending. Partially offsetting
the increase in securities was a decline in loans, particularly real estate
mortgage loans. Mortgage loans declined due to high prepayment activity, sale of
most new mortgage loan production into the secondary market, and securitization
in 2002 of $28.6 million of mortgage loan originations and $114.3 million of
seasoned portfolio mortgage loans through FNMA and FHLMC. During the first six
months of 2003, we sold 86% of our new mortgage loan production into the
secondary market for $722.2 million

NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2003 was $24.8 million, a decrease
of $5.8 million or 18.8% from the second quarter of 2002. Noninterest income for
the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $48.1 million compared to $55.3 million
in the first six months of 2002, a decrease of $7.2 million or 13.0%. The
decline in both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 reflected
lower bankcard fees, trust fees, and brokerage and investment fees. Gains
recorded in the second quarter of 2002 of $5.4 million from the sale of our
merchant services business and $2.4 million from the sale of securitized
mortgages also contributed to the decline. Higher deposit service charges and
mortgage banking revenue partially offset the decline. An analysis of the
sources of noninterest income during the three and six months ended June 30,
2003 and 2002 is summarized in the table below.

Service charges on deposit accounts were up for both the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002. Last year,
assisted by banking industry consultants, we began an extensive review of the
consumer bank business line. We implemented a number of recommendations
generated as a result of the review, which have resulted in, among other things,
additional overdraft fees, a new overdraft monitoring system and fewer waived
fees. The increases in service charges were due to these changes.
Trust fees are based primarily on the market value of assets under
administration. Trust fees declined principally as a result of the decline in
the equity markets. Trust fee revenue, however, grew by $104,000 or 2.5% in the
second quarter of 2003 over the first quarter of 2003, due primarily to the
recent improvement in the equity markets. Total trust assets under
administration were $2.62 billion at June 30, 2003, down $112 million from June
30, 2002, but up $142 million from March 31, 2003. In May 2003, our trust bank,
Citizens Bank Wealth Management, N.A., formed strategic alliances with SEI
Investments and EnvestnetPMC, Inc. These alliances will expand our product
offerings and provide upgraded systems and technology for our trust bank and
wealth management line of business. We expect the new alliances to expand our
comprehensive wealth management capabilities and allow us to be a premier
provider of investment products and services in our market, while improving the
efficiency of our wealth management line of business in future years.
The increase in mortgage and other loan income was primarily due to higher
mortgage banking revenue, which reflected higher gains on the sale of mortgage
loans and the related servicing rights. A strong mortgage origination market,
spurred by low mortgage interest rates, helped push total mortgage originations
to $491 million in the second quarter and $841 million year-to-date, compared
with $350 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $451 million in the first six
months of 2002. The majority of all new mortgage loan originations along with
the related servicing were sold in the secondary market.
The decline in brokerage and investment fees reflects slower retail sales of
fixed annuity products. The decline in bankcard fees resulted from the sale of
the merchant services business in the second quarter of 2002. The increase in
other noninterest income was principally due to an increase in life insurance
income and title insurance fees. Higher life insurance income reflects the
purchase of $78 million of separate account bank owned life insurance in the
third quarter of 2002. Title insurance fees increased due to higher mortgage
origination volume.
We currently expect a decrease in noninterest income for 2003 compared to 2002
due primarily to the sale of the merchant services business in 2002. The gain of
$5.4 million recorded in 2002 for this sale, as well as the loss of revenue from
the business, is expected to decrease noninterest income by approximately $8.7
million in 2003. Based on the current economic and interest rate environment,
the remaining components of noninterest income are anticipated to increase
slightly on a collective basis in 2003 over full year 2002 levels.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense for the second quarter was $56.4 million compared to $61.5
million for the second quarter of 2002, a decline of $5.1 million or 8.4%. For
the six months ended June 30, 2003, total noninterest expense decreased $9.8
million or 8.0% to $112.9 million compared to the same period in 2002. The
declines in both the three and six month periods reflect decreases in nearly all
the major components of noninterest expense, partially offset by an increase in
fees for professional services. An analysis of the components of noninterest
expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 is
summarized in the table below.

Salaries and employee benefits, equipment and occupancy expense (primarily
depreciation and maintenance), postage and delivery, telephone, and stationery
and supplies expense all declined due to the restructuring initiatives announced
during the third quarter of 2002, which included branch closures and staff
reductions. The decline in equipment and telephone expense also reflects
improved pricing from new or renegotiated contracts. Citizens had 2,376 full
time equivalent employees at June 30, 2003, down from 2,695 at June 30, 2002.
The increases in professional services expenses reflect higher legal costs
associated with loan collection efforts, recruiting fees, and costs associated
with the engagement of banking industry consultants who assisted in our
restructuring and the reorganization of our lines of business. Advertising and
public relations expense decreased due to more cost-effective and fewer
media-intensive marketing campaigns during the second quarter of 2003. Bankcard
expense declined due to the sale of Citizens' merchant services business in the
second quarter of 2002. Other expense decreased primarily due to the reversal in
2003 of $320,000 ($100,000 in the first quarter and $220,000 in the second
quarter) in accrued reserves for employee severance, benefits and professional
services related to the third quarter 2002 special charge and the payment in the
first quarter of 2002 of $0.5 million in partial settlement of an early contract
termination fee associated with the sale of our merchant services business.
During the third and fourth quarters of 2002, noninterest expense included
special and other significant charges of $20.5 million relating to restructuring
and other key actions previously reported, which are not expected to recur in
2003. We expect the remaining components of noninterest expense on a collective
basis to decrease in 2003 from 2002 levels due to anticipated cost savings from
the restructuring announced in September 2002 and other ongoing strategic
initiatives.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax provision was $2,542,000 in the second quarter of 2003 compared to
$9,764,000 during the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30,
2003, income tax provision was $6,704,000 compared to $18,905,000 for the same
period last year. The decline in income tax provision in both the three and six
month periods was caused by lower pre-tax income. The effective tax rate,
computed by dividing the provision for income taxes by income before taxes, was
16.1% for the second quarter of 2003 compared with 27.8% for the second quarter
of 2002, and 19.2% for the first six months of 2003 compared with 27.7% for the
same period in 2002. In both the three and six month periods, the effective tax
rate declined because tax-free income, which remained relatively stable,
comprised a much higher proportion of total pre-tax income.

BUSINESS BANKING
The net loss in the second quarter of 2003 and the decline in net income for the
six months ended June 30, 2003, compared with the same periods of 2002, were
attributable to increased loan loss provisions and lower net interest income and
noninterest income. The provision for loan losses increased to $22.6 million and
$38.1 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003,
respectively, from $7.3 million and $10.4 million for the same periods in 2002
due to the previously discussed risk rating downgrades in the commercial loan
portfolio. Net interest income declined in both the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2003 as a result of lower average loan balances due to the
sluggish economy, fixed rate loan refinancing and pay-downs, and the
identification and reduction of exposure on credits with the potential to
deteriorate. The decline in net interest income is also attributable to a
decrease in commercial loan yields due to the lower level of interest rates
which reduced yields on variable rate loans and generated increased activity in
fixed rate loan refinancing. Noninterest income declined due to lower deposit
service charges and cash management fees. A reduction in noninterest expenses
and income taxes partially offset the increased loan loss provision and lower
net interest income and noninterest income. Noninterest expense decreased due to
lower compensation and other costs as a result of the third quarter 2002 line of
business restructuring.
CONSUMER BANKING
The decline in net income in both the three and six month periods was caused by
higher loan loss provisions and lower noninterest income partially offset by
lower noninterest expenses and income taxes. The decline in net income for the
six month period was also partially attributable to a lower level of net
interest income. The decline in net interest income for the six months ended
June 30, 2003 was caused by a lower volume of residential mortgage loans and
narrower interest spreads on deposits (the difference between deposit rates and
their match-funded credit from our funds transfer pricing system). Noninterest
income declined in both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003
compared to the same periods in 2002 due to a $5.4 million gain recorded in the
second quarter of 2002 from the sale of our merchant services business and lower
bankcard fees as a result of the sale, partially offset by higher mortgage
banking revenue and deposit service charges. Noninterest expense declined in
both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 due to lower bankcard
expense as a result of the sale of the merchant services business and lower
compensation and equipment expenses due to the third quarter 2002 business line
restructuring.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
The decline in net income in both periods was caused by a decrease in
noninterest income and an increase in noninterest expense. Noninterest income
declined as a result of lower trust fees. Trust fees declined due to a lower
level of assets under administration resulting primarily from weak equity
markets. Noninterest expense increased due to costs associated with ongoing
restructuring initiatives and a trust account-related loss.
OTHER
The increase in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to
the same period in 2002 was due to higher net interest income and decreases in
noninterest expense and income taxes, partially offset by a higher provision for
loan losses and lower noninterest income. Net income for the six months ended
June 30, 2003 was virtually unchanged from the same period in 2002. Decreases in
net interest income and noninterest income and an increase in the provision for
loan losses were offset by lower noninterest expense and income tax expense.
Noninterest expense declined in both the three and six month periods due to
lower marketing costs. Noninterest income declined in both periods as a result
of a $2.4 million gain
21
on the sale of securitized mortgages recorded in the second quarter of 2002,
partially offset by higher life insurance income in 2003 as a result of the
purchase of bank owned life insurance in the third quarter of 2002.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Proper management of the volume and composition of our earning assets and
funding sources is essential for ensuring strong and consistent earnings
performance, maintaining adequate liquidity and limiting exposure to risks
caused by changing market conditions. Our investment securities portfolio is
structured to provide a source of liquidity principally through the maturity of
the securities held in the portfolio and to generate an income stream with
relatively low levels of principal risk. Loans comprise the largest component of
earning assets and are some of our highest yielding assets. Client deposits are
the primary source of funding for earning assets while short-term debt and other
managed sources of funds are used as market conditions and liquidity needs
change.
We had total assets of $7.786 billion as of June 30, 2003, an increase of $264
million, or 3.5%, from $7.522 billion as of December 31, 2002. Total assets
increased as we expanded our investment securities portfolio during the first
six months of 2003 to offset the effects of weak loan demand due to the slow
economy and the prospect of net interest margin pressure from continued low
interest rates. Average earning assets comprised 93.7% of average total assets
during the first six months of 2003 compared with 94.2% in the first six months
of 2002.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND MONEY MARKET INVESTMENTS
Total average investments, including money market investments, comprised 23.7%
of average earning assets during the first half of 2003, compared with 19.8% for
the same period of 2002. Average investment securities for the six months ended
June 30, 2003 were up $295.0 million from full-year 2002 and $333.9 million from
the first half of 2002 average levels. The increase was primarily due to
retention of securities created from mortgage loan securitizations in the second
half of 2002 and purchases of securities since December 31, 2002. In March 2003,
we implemented an investment portfolio expansion plan to help offset the effect
on net interest income of weak loan demand. In accordance with the plan, we
purchased approximately $500 million of mortgage backed securities and
collateralized mortgage obligations with average lives of three to five years
and an average duration of two to four years, resulting in interest spreads of
up to 250 basis points over funding sources. The purchases were funded with cash
flow from loan repayments, runoff of investments and short- and medium-term
borrowings.
Average money market investments for the first six months of 2003 were down
$50.9 million from the first half of 2002. We held higher levels of money market
investments during most of 2002 in anticipation of purchasing bank-owned life
insurance. We completed a $78 million purchase of bank-owned life insurance in
the third quarter of 2002.
MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Mortgage loans held for sale were $136.4 million at June 30, 2003, down $24.3
million from year-end 2002 but up $56.8 million from June 30, 2002. These
balances generally track the level of originations as we are selling most of our
new residential mortgage loan production into the secondary market due to the
low interest rate environment. A strong mortgage origination market, spurred by
low mortgage interest rates, helped push total mortgage originations to $491
million and $841 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2003, respectively, compared with $229 million and $451 million, respectively,
for the same periods in 2002. Average mortgage loans held for sale during the
first six months of 2003 comprised 2.3% of average earning assets compared with
1.7% during the same period in 2002. Mortgages held for sale are accounted for
on the lower of cost or market basis.
PORTFOLIO LOANS
We extend credit primarily within the local markets of our banking subsidiaries
located in Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois. We generally lend to
consumers and small to mid-sized businesses and, consistent with our emphasis on
relationship banking, most of these credits represent core, multi-relationship
customers who also maintain deposit relationships and use other banking services
such as cash management. Our loan portfolio is diversified by borrower and
industry with no concentration within a single industry that exceeds 10% of the
total loan balance outstanding. We do not have any loans to foreign debtors and
do not purchase nationally syndicated loans or participate in highly leveraged
transactions. We seek to limit our credit risk by establishing guidelines to
review the aggregate outstanding commitments and loans to particular borrowers,
industries, and geographic areas. We obtain collateral based on the nature of
the credit and our credit assessment of the customer.
22
Total portfolio loans at June 30, 2003 were down $145 million, or 2.7%, from
December 31, 2002. The decline in total portfolio loans from year end 2002 was
caused primarily by lower demand for commercial loans in the current sluggish
economy, tightening of our credit standards, and a decline in mortgage loans,
partially offset by an increase in consumer loans. Commercial loan balances at
June 30, 2003 declined $98 million from December 31, 2002, due to lower demand
caused by the sluggish economy, increased activity in fixed-rate loan
refinancing, prepayments and other paydowns, and proactive identification and
reduction of exposure on credits with the potential to deteriorate. Mortgage
loans declined $33 million due to the continued sale of most new mortgage loan
production into the secondary market and record high refinancing activity
causing prepayment of existing portfolio loans in the historically low interest
rate environment. Consumer loans, other than mortgage loans, increased $75
million or 4.9% from December 31, 2002 as growth in home equity loans more than
offset a decline in other direct consumer loans. Home equity loans increased
13.2% from year-end 2002 and comprised $73 million of the $75 million increase
in consumer loans. Our new home equity line of credit campaign contributed to
this growth. This campaign has yielded over 3,500 new accounts with aggregate
balances in excess of $105 million. Overall our home equity loan portfolio
increased 24% or approximately $120 million over the comparable quarter in 2002.
Average total portfolio loans declined by $283 million, or 5.1%, for the second
quarter of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002.
Total loans are expected to decline slightly during the remainder of 2003 as
growth in consumer loans (primarily home equity) is anticipated to be more than
offset by declines in commercial and mortgage loans. Commercial loans are
expected to decline slowly throughout the year due to lower demand and the
continued implementation of our credit improvement initiatives. Mortgage loans
are also anticipated to decline slowly due to expected prepayments on portfolio
loans and due to the sale of our current mortgage originations into the
secondary market.
At June 30, 2003 and 2002, $87.8 million and $215.4 million, respectively, of
residential real estate loans originated and subsequently sold in the secondary
market were being serviced by Citizens. Capitalized servicing rights relating to
the serviced loans were fully amortized at June 30, 2003 and were $1.1 million
at June 30, 2002.
CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT
Extending credit to businesses and consumers exposes us to credit risk. Credit
risk is the risk that the principal balance of a loan and any related interest
will not be collected due to the inability or unwillingness of the borrower to
repay the loan. Credit risk is mitigated through portfolio diversification that
limits exposure to any single industry or customer. Similarly, credit risk is
also mitigated through the establishment of a comprehensive system of internal
controls, which includes standard lending policies and procedures, underwriting
criteria, collateral safeguards, and surveillance and evaluation by an
independent internal loan review staff of the quality, trends, collectibility
and collateral protection within the loan portfolio. Lending policies and
procedures are reviewed and modified on an ongoing basis as conditions change
and new credit products are offered. Our commercial and commercial real estate
credit administration policies include a loan rating system and an analysis by
the internal loan review staff of loans over a fixed amount and of a sampling of
loans under such amount. Furthermore, account officers are vested with the
responsibility of monitoring their customer relationships and act as the first
line of defense in determining changes in the loan ratings on credits for which
they are responsible. Loans that have migrated within the loan rating system to
a level that requires remediation are actively reviewed by senior management at
regularly scheduled quarterly meetings with the credit administration staff and
the account officers. At these meetings, action plans are developed to either
remediate any emerging problem loans or develop a specific plan for removing
such loans from the portfolio within a short time frame.
During the fourth quarter of 2002 and the first quarter of 2003, we experienced
two unanticipated loan losses resulting from collateral value shortfalls due to
falsified borrowing base reports by the borrower. To reduce our risk of further
unforeseen losses from similar collateral issues, we have, in addition to our
normal credit review procedures, hired outside collateral auditors to conduct
field audits on all loans in excess of $5 million and risk selected loans in
excess of $1 million in which the primary collateral consists of accounts
receivable and inventory. A field audit focuses on the value of the collateral
and validates the borrower's reporting processes. Preliminary analysis of the
collateral field audits which were initiated in late March have created numerous
opportunities with our customers to clarify borrowing base requirements and to
improve their internal reporting capabilities. Analyzed results have not
uncovered any further instances of falsified borrowing base reporting. However,
we have in several instances chosen to exit our lending relationship with a
client, principally due to their unwillingness to amend or upgrade their
internal reporting. We expect to complete the analysis of these 162 field audits
in the third quarter of 2003. We intend to continue regular audits of receivable
and inventory collateral as standard practice going forward.
23
PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses represents a charge against income and a
corresponding increase in the allowance for loan losses. Credit losses are
charged and recoveries are credited to the allowance for loan losses. The amount
of the provision for loan losses is based on our review of the historical credit
loss experience and such factors that, in our judgment, deserve consideration
under existing economic conditions in estimating probable credit losses. While
we consider the allowance for loan losses to be adequate based on information
currently available, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary due to
changes in economic conditions, delinquencies or loss rates. See "-- Critical
Accounting Policies."
A summary of loan loss experience during the three and six months ended June 30,
2003 and 2002 is provided below.

The provision for loan losses was $25.7 million in the second quarter of 2003,
an increase of $16.3 million over the same period in 2002. This increase
resulted from risk rating downgrades in the commercial portfolio that resulted
in additional formula reserves. As a result of the continued weakness in the
economy and the unusually large losses we experienced in the fourth quarter of
2002 and the first quarter of 2003 due to falsified borrowing base reports, we
conducted a thorough analysis of our commercial loan portfolio. This included
collateral field audits and an in-depth risk rating review, which included a
review of higher risk "pass" rated credits to confirm the risk ratings of these
loans. As a result of this risk rating review and previous enhancements to our
risk rating process, we downgraded $348 million of commercial loans, which
resulted in additional loan loss provision of $18.5 million in the second
quarter. Of the loans downgraded $81 million was moved to watch level
(including $29 million by in-market line officer review), $197 million was moved
to higher risk ratings
24
within the pass level (loans rated 6- or less) and $70 million was downgraded to
higher risk ratings. Watch level loans consist of criticized and classified
credits internally risk rated as special mention (7 rated credits) or worse.
Net loans charged-off in the second quarter of 2003 totaled $12.0 million, or
0.92%, of average loans (annualized), compared with $9.4 million, or 0.68%, in
the second quarter of 2002. The increase in charge-offs occurred primarily in
the commercial loan portfolio. Commercial net charge-offs were $9.3 million in
the second quarter of 2003, up $2.6 million from the second quarter of 2002, but
down $3.2 million from the first quarter of 2003. In the second quarter of 2003,
we took provision expense in excess of the reduced charge-off level as a result
of our risk rating review and the continued application of our enhanced internal
risk rating process. Based on this review and our new credit processes and
credit administration procedures, we now expect, barring any unforeseen downturn
in the economy, net charge-offs and loan loss provisions in the third and fourth
quarters to be less than $12 million each per quarter.
The allowance for credit losses represents our estimate of probable losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on ongoing quarterly
assessments and is maintained at a level management considers to be adequate to
absorb probable loan losses identified with specific customer relationships and
for probable losses believed to be inherent in the loan portfolio that have not
been specifically identified. Our evaluation process is inherently subjective as
it requires estimates that may be susceptible to significant change and have the
potential to materially affect net income. Default frequency, internal risk
ratings, expected future cash collections, loss recovery rates, and general
economic factors, among other things, are considered in this evaluation, as are
the size and diversity of individual large credits. While we have implemented
enhancements to our loan loss allocation model and risk rating process, we have
not substantively changed our overall approach in the determination of the
allowance for loan losses in 2003 from 2002. Our methodology for measuring the
adequacy of the allowance relies on several key elements, which include specific
allowances for identified problem loans, a formula-based risk-allocated
allowance for the remainder of the portfolio and an unallocated allowance. This
methodology is discussed at length in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The allowance for loan losses was $126.0 million at June 30, 2003, an increase
of $16.5 million compared to December 31, 2002. The higher allowance at June 30,
2003, reflects an increase in both the specific-allocated and risk-allocated
reserves. At June 30, 2003 the allowance allocated to specific commercial and
commercial real estate credits was $20.4 million, up from $18.7 million at
December 31, 2002. The increase reflects a migration of such credits to higher
risk ratings due primarily to the sluggish economy. Criticized and classified
credits (i.e., those internally risk rated as 7- special mention, 8- substandard
or 9- doubtful) subject to specific reserves decreased to $80.2 million at June
30, 2003 from $90.4 million at December 31, 2002.
The total risk-allocated allowance was $103.0 million at June 30, 2003, up from
$83.4 million at December 31, 2002. The amount allocated to commercial and
commercial real estate loans, including construction loans, increased to $85.5
million at June 30, 2003 from $65.5 million at December 31, 2002. The increase
reflected a higher level of classified and nonperforming loans, migration of
loans to higher risk ratings as well as our assessment of current economic
conditions within our local markets. The risk-allocated allowance for
residential real estate loans declined to $2.2 million at June 30, 2003, from
$2.3 million at December 31, 2002, reflecting lower loan balances and a
reduction in nonaccrual loans. Lower nonaccrual loan levels were due, in part,
to the sale in January 2003 of $2.1 million of nonperforming residential
mortgage loans from the F&M banks and the sale of $2.8 million of nonperforming
residential loans in March 2003. Even with the discounts taken for these sales,
historical loss ratios in the residential mortgage portfolio remain very low.
The risk-allocated allowance for consumer loans declined to $15.2 million at
June 30, 2003 from $15.6 million at December 31, 2002. The decline reflects a
decrease in nonaccrual loans and our continued expectation of stable net
charge-offs in this portfolio, primarily due to a risk-adjusted pricing
structure and aggressive collection efforts.
The unallocated allowance was $2.6 million at June 30, 2003, down $4.8 million
from December 31, 2002. The decrease reflects our view that the inherent losses
related to certain factors, such as general economic and business conditions and
the possible imprecision due to changes in the portfolio mix, which we
considered in our evaluation of the unallocated allowance at December 31, 2002
are now recognized at June 30, 2003 in the allocated allowance through increased
specific reserves or migration to higher loss factors used in determining the
risk allocated allowance.
25
NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonaccrual loans, loans with restructured
terms and other repossessed assets, primarily other real estate. Although these
assets have more than a normal risk of loss, they will not necessarily result in
a higher level of losses in the future. Nonperforming assets totaled $96.6
million as of June 30, 2003, compared with $95.7 million as of December 31, 2002
and $87.8 million as of June 30, 2002. The table below provides a summary of
nonperforming assets as of June 30, 2003, December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002.

Nonperforming commercial loans comprised 83.9% of total nonaccrual loans at June
30, 2003, compared with 81.1% at December 31, 2002, and 73.0% at June 30, 2002.
The increase in nonperforming commercial loans is reflected in the allowance for
loan losses through specific and risk allocated allowances as of June 30, 2003.
The allocated allowance for commercial and commercial real estate loans
increased $1.7 million to $20.4 million at June 30, 2003 from December 31, 2002.
We believe the risk of loss in the commercial real estate nonperforming loans is
significantly less than the total principal balance, due to the nature of the
underlying collateral and the value of such collateral in relation to the total
credit exposure. These loans are generally for owner-occupied properties and the
sources of repayment are not dependent on the performance of the real estate
market.
Nonperforming loans in both the residential mortgage and consumer loan
portfolios were down at June 30, 2003 from December 31, 2002. The lower level of
nonperforming residential real estate loans primarily reflects the previously
mentioned sales of nonperforming residential mortgage loans, which totaled $4.9
million during the first quarter of 2003. In the consumer portfolio, a change in
asset mix, which included strong growth in home equity loans, has helped reduce
nonperforming levels.
The level and composition of nonperforming assets are affected by economic
conditions in our local markets. Nonperforming assets, charge-offs and
provisions for loan losses tend to decline in a strong economy and increase in a
weak economy, potentially impacting our results. In addition to loans classified
as nonperforming, we carefully monitor other credits that are current in terms
of principal and interest payments but which we believe may deteriorate in
quality if economic conditions change. As of June 30, 2003, such loans amounted
to $210.9 million, or 4.0% of total portfolio loans, compared with $134.6
million, or 2.5%, of total portfolio loans as of December 31, 2002. These loans
are primarily commercial and commercial real estate loans made in the normal
course of business and do not represent a concentration in any one industry or
geographic location.

DEPOSITS
Average deposits declined $124 million, or 2.1%, in the first six months of 2003
compared to the same period in 2002. Total deposits decreased $277 million to
$5.660 billion at June 30, 2003 from $5.937 billion at year end 2002. Deposits
declined from December 31, 2002 primarily due to a seasonal decrease in
commercial demand deposit accounts and lower time deposit balances. The deposit
mix improved, however, with growth in core interest bearing checking deposits
and declines in large denomination and consumer time deposits. The increase in
core interest bearing checking deposits was driven by growth in an aggressively
priced money market checking account product. In addition, our new checking
campaign, "Perfect-Fit", has yielded positive results with over 9,200 new
accounts being opened through June 30, 2003, representing nearly $54 million in
deposit balances. Brokered and large denomination time deposits were lower as we
were less aggressive in pricing such deposits.
We gather deposits primarily in our local markets and have not traditionally
relied on purchased deposits for any significant funding. At June 30, 2003, we
had approximately $661 million in brokered deposits and time deposits greater
than $100,000 as an alternative source of funding, down $17 million from
December 31, 2002. We will continue to evaluate the use of alternative funding
sources such as brokered deposits as funding needs change. We continue to
promote relationship driven core deposit growth and stability through focused
marketing efforts and competitive pricing strategies.
BORROWED FUNDS
Short-term borrowings are comprised primarily of federal funds purchased,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase, FHLB advances and Treasury Tax
and Loan borrowings. Short-term borrowings increased $162.5 million, or 53.7%,
to $464.8 million at June 30, 2003 from $302.4 at December 31, 2002. Average
short-term borrowings increased $123.8 million, or 55.6%, to $346.6 million
during the first six months of 2003 from $222.8 million during the same period
of 2002. The increases primarily reflect additional funding to support expansion
of the investment portfolio, which commenced in the first quarter of 2003, and
to a lesser extent a modest decrease in average deposits.
Long-term debt increased $348.3 million, or 58.1%, to $947.7 million at June 30,
2003 from $599.3 million at December 31, 2003. Average long-term debt accounted
for $784.2 million, or 12.9%, of average interest-bearing funds for the first
six months of 2003, compared with $629.0 million, or 10.6%, of average
interest-bearing funds for the same period in 2002. Total long-term debt at June
30, 2003, included $789.0 million of borrowings from the FHLB compared with
$620.9 million at December 31, 2002. At June 30, 2003, $475.9 million of the
FHLB borrowings mature at various times over the next five years, with the
remainder maturing beyond that. The growth in FHLB borrowings since December 31,
2002 was primarily in the two to three year maturity range and were used to fund
our loan and investment portfolios.
In the first quarter of 2003, we issued $125 million of subordinated debt with a
fixed coupon rate of 5.75% maturing on February 1, 2013. We also entered into a
interest rate swap to hedge the interest rate risk on the subordinated debt. As
of June 30, 2003, the notional value and fair value of the interest rate swap
was $125 million and $8.2 million, respectively.
27
Under the contract, we receive an average fixed rate of 4.36% and pay a variable
rate equal to six month LIBOR. The weighted-average rate is 1.35% at June 30,
2003 and reprices every six months. The initial net interest spread on the swap
contract is 3.01%, effectively reducing the net cost of borrowing from 5.75% to
2.74% for the first six month period.
Late in the second quarter of 2003, we issued approximately $25 million of
floating rate trust preferred securities through an unconsolidated special
purpose trust to unrelated institutional investors. The gross proceeds from
issuance were used to purchase a floating rate junior subordinated deferrable
interest debenture (the "Debenture") issued by Citizens, which is the sole asset
of the trust. The Debenture matures in thirty years and bears interest at an
annual rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 3.10%, payable quarterly
beginning in September 2003. The initial interest rate is 4.16%. Interest is
adjusted on a quarterly basis provided that prior to May 2008, the interest rate
shall not exceed 11.75%. The Debenture is an unsecured obligation of Citizens
and is junior in the right of payment to all future senior indebtedness of
Citizens. The trust preferred securities issued by the trust have financial
terms that are comparable to the Debenture. Citizens has guaranteed that
interest payments on the Debenture made to the trust will be distributed by the
trust to the holders of the trust preferred securities. Issuance costs of
$490,000 were incurred related to the issuance. These costs have been
capitalized and are included in other assets on the balance sheet. Issuance
costs are being amortized over five years as a component of interest expense.
The trust preferred securities of the special purpose trust are callable after
five years at par and must be redeemed 30 years after issuance. This transaction
was part of a previously announced $50 million intended issuance and provides
regulatory Tier 1 capital at the parent company level.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
We continue to maintain a strong capital position, which supports our current
needs and provides a sound foundation to support further expansion. Our
regulatory capital ratios are consistently at or above the "well capitalized"
standards and all of our bank subsidiaries have sufficient capital to maintain a
well capitalized designation. Our capital ratios as of June 30, 2003, December
31, 2002 and June 30, 2002 are presented below.

Shareholders' equity at June 30, 2003 was $639.2 million, compared with $650.5
million at December 31, 2002 and $714.7 million as of June 30, 2002. Book value
per common share at June 30, 2003, December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002 was
$14.77, $14.88 and $16.02, respectively. We declared and paid cash dividends of
$0.285 per share in the second quarter of 2003, the same as declared and paid in
the second quarter of 2002. Shareholders' equity declined in the second quarter
of 2003 as net income was more than offset by cash dividends and the capital
requirements of our share repurchase program.
In October 2001, our board of directors approved a plan to repurchase up to
3,000,000 shares of our common stock from time to time in the market. During the
second quarter of 2003, we purchased a total of 125,200 shares for $3.1 million.
As of June 30, 2003, a total of 2,503,200 shares of common stock had been
repurchased under the repurchase plan at an average price of $28.19. The
purchase of our shares is subject to limitations that may be imposed by
applicable securities laws and regulations and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock
Market. The timing of the purchases and the number of shares to be bought at any
one time depend on market conditions and our capital requirements. There can be
no assurance that we will repurchase the remaining shares authorized to be
repurchased, or that any additional repurchases will be authorized by our board
of directors.
28
LIQUIDITY AND DEBT CAPACITY
We monitor our liquidity position so that funds will be available at a
reasonable cost to meet financial commitments, to finance business expansion and
to take advantage of unforeseen opportunities. Our subsidiary banks derive
liquidity primarily through core deposit growth, maturity of money market
investments, and maturity and sale of investment securities and loans.
Additionally, our subsidiary banks have access to market borrowing sources on an
unsecured, as well as a collateralized basis, for both short-term and long-term
purposes including, but not limited to, the Federal Reserve and Federal Home
Loan Banks where the subsidiary banks are members. Another source of liquidity
is the ability of our parent company to borrow funds on both a short-term and
long-term basis.
Our parent company has a $75 million short-term revolving credit facility with a
group of unaffiliated banks and has used this facility for various corporate
purposes from time to time. There were no borrowings outstanding under this
credit facility as of June 30, 2003. Additionally in the first quarter of 2003,
as discussed above, we issued $125 million of subordinated debt maturing on
February 1, 2013. A portion of the proceeds from this offering was used to repay
amounts outstanding under our short-term revolving credit facility. The
remainder of the net proceeds was used or is available for general corporate
purposes. The subordinated debt requires semi-annual interest payments beginning
in August 2003 and qualifies as a component of our capital, bolstering our
overall capital ratios. The higher capital ratios are viewed favorably by
regulators and credit rating agencies. In June 2003, we also issued
approximately $25 million of floating rate, 30 year trust preferred securities
through a special purpose trust with an initial interest rate of 4.16%. Interest
only payments are due quarterly beginning September 1, 2003 and payment in full
of the principal is due in June 2033. Our rights and obligations in connection
with these securities are described above under "-- Borrowed Funds."
Downgrades within the past six months by FitchRatings and Standard & Poor's
Rating Service of our long-term credit rating to BBB from BBB+ due to asset
quality deterioration and increased nonperforming assets are not expected to
materially affect our liquidity position. Our short-term credit rating remained
unchanged at F2 and A-2, respectively. Separately, Moody's Investors Service
affirmed our outstanding ratings of Baa-1 (long term) and P-2 (short term),
after their review for a possible downgrade. Our strong capital position
provides enough financial flexibility to deal with a degree of additional credit
deterioration, if such were to occur.
We manage the liquidity of our subsidiary banks to meet client cash flow needs
while maintaining funds available for loan and investment opportunities. We
manage the liquidity of our parent company to pay dividends to shareholders,
service debt, invest in subsidiaries and to satisfy other operating
requirements. The primary sources of liquidity for the parent company are
dividends and returns on investment in its subsidiaries. Our banking
subsidiaries are currently unable to pay dividends to our parent company without
further regulatory approval due to statutory restrictions resulting from our net
loss in the third quarter of 2002. Each of our banking subsidiaries is subject
to dividend limits under the laws of the state in which it is chartered and, as
member banks of the Federal Reserve System, is subject to the dividend limits of
the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board allows a member bank to
make dividends or other capital distributions in an amount not exceeding the
current calendar year's net income, plus retained net income of the preceding
two years. Distributions in excess of this limit require prior approval of the
Federal Reserve Board. We expect that the dividend paying capacity of our bank
subsidiaries will return to historical levels by the fourth quarter of 2003,
although there can be no assurance to that effect.
We also have certain financial guarantees and letters of credit that may impact
liquidity. Since many of these commitments historically have expired without
being drawn upon, the total amount of these commitments does not necessarily
represent our future cash requirements in connection with them. Further
information on these commitments is presented in Note 9 to the consolidated
financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
INTEREST RATE RISK
Interest rate risk generally arises when the maturity or repricing structure of
our assets and liabilities differ significantly. Asset/Liability management,
which we use to address such risk, is the process of developing, testing and
implementing strategies that seek to maximize net interest income, maintain
sufficient liquidity and minimize exposure to significant changes in interest
rates. This process includes monitoring contractual and expected repricing of
assets and liabilities as well as forecasting earnings under different interest
rate scenarios and balance sheet structures. Generally, we seek a structure that
insulates net interest income from large swings attributable to changes in
market interest rates. Our static interest rate sensitivity, commonly referred
to as "GAP," as of June 30, 2003 and 2002 is illustrated in the table below.

(1) Incorporates prepayment projections for certain assets which may shorten
the time frame for repricing or maturity compared to contractual runoff.
(2) Includes mortgage loans held for sale.
(3) Includes interest bearing savings and demand deposits of $711 million and
$764 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively, in the less than one year
category, and $1.911 billion and $1.694 billion, respectively in the over
one year category, based on historical trends for these noncontractual
maturity deposit types, which reflects industry standards.
(4) GAP is the excess of rate sensitive assets (liabilities).
As shown, our interest rate risk position at June 30, 2003 was asset sensitive
in the less than one year time frame with rate sensitive assets exceeding rate
sensitive liabilities by $1.453 billion. Our interest rate risk position at June
30, 2002 was asset sensitive in the less than one-year time frame with rate
sensitive assets exceeding rate sensitive liabilities by $627.5 million. Because
our deposit liabilities tend to reprice more slowly than our assets, application
of GAP theory would suggest that with our asset sensitive position, net interest
income could rise if interest rates rise and could decrease in a falling rate
environment. Net interest income is not only affected by the level and direction
of interest rates, but also by the shape of the yield curve, relationships
between interest sensitive instruments and key driver rates, as well as balance
sheet growth and the timing of changes in these variables.
We are continually reviewing our interest rate risk position and modifying our
strategies based on projections to minimize the impact of future interest rate
changes. While traditional GAP analysis does not always incorporate adjustments
for the magnitude or timing of non-contractual repricing, the table above does
incorporate appropriate adjustments as indicated in footnotes 1 and 3 to the
table. Because of these and other inherent limitations of any GAP analysis, we
use net interest income simulation modeling as our primary tool to evaluate the
impact of changes in interest rates and balance sheet
30
strategies. We use these simulations to develop strategies that can limit
interest rate risk and provide liquidity to meet client loan demand and deposit
preferences. We conduct periodic evaluations to measure net interest income
sensitivity. Simulations were done after June 30, 2003 assuming a static balance
sheet and flat interest rates as the base case. Compared to this base case, net
interest income over the next twelve months should remain stable if interest
rates rise within likely ranges, but may decline if interest rates decrease.
We may also, from time-to-time, use derivative contracts to help manage or hedge
our exposure to interest rate risk and in conjunction with our mortgage banking
operations. We currently use interest rate swaps, mortgage loan commitments and
forward mortgage loan sales. Interest rate swaps are contracts with a third
party (the "counter-party") to exchange interest payment streams based upon an
assumed principal amount (the "notional amount"). The notional amount is not
advanced from the counter-party. Swap contracts are carried at fair value on the
consolidated balance sheet with the fair value representing the net present
value of expected future cash receipts or payments based on market interest
rates as of the balance sheet date. The fair values of the contracts change
daily as market interest rates change. The interest rate swap contracts require
semi-annual cash settlement beginning in August 2003. Further discussion of
derivative instruments is included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Note 8 to the
consolidated financial statements presented in this report.
In February 2003, we entered into ten-year interest rate swap agreements for a
notional amount totaling $125 million to effectively convert our new fixed rate
subordinated debt into a variable rate instrument. Under this arrangement, we
receive payment from the counter-party at a specified fixed-rate (4.36%) in
exchange for payments to the counter-party at a specified floating rate index
(six-month LIBOR, 1.35% initially). Thus, what was a fixed rate obligation
before entering into the derivative arrangement was transformed into a variable
rate obligation.
Holding residential mortgage loans for sale and committing to fund residential
mortgage loan applications at specific rates also exposes us to interest rate
risk during the period from loan funding until sale. To minimize this risk, we
enter into mandatory forward commitments, generally entered into at time of
application, to sell residential mortgage loans. These mandatory forward
commitments are considered derivatives under SFAS 133. These forward commitments
qualify and have been designated as fair value hedges of our portfolio of loans
held for sale and our new mortgage loan commitments. Our practice to hedge our
market rate risk with mandatory forward commitments has been effective and has
not generated any material gains or losses. As of June 30, 2003, we had forward
commitments to sell mortgage loans of $307.0 million.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There has been no material change in the information concerning quantitative and
qualitative disclosures about market risk contained in Item 7A of Citizens' 2002
Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as set forth in Item 2. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -
Interest Rate Risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management,
including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to cause the material information required to be disclosed by the
Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. There have been no
significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors which
could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company
carried out its evaluation.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In June 2003, a subsidiary trust of the Company issued $25 million of
mandatorily redeemable trust preferred securities ("TPS") to a trust formed by
FTN Financial Capital Markets and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. (who acted as
placement agents in the transaction), and to a subsidiary bank of FTN Financial
Capital Markets. The Company's trust received a total of $24.5 million in net
proceeds, after deduction of a total of $490,000 of commissions paid to the
placement agents. The proceeds from the transaction were invested in a debenture
issued by the Company, as described in Item 3. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Borrowed Funds"
included elsewhere in this Report.
The Company's trust sold the TPS in a non-public offering pursuant to Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company believes this
exemption was available because the TPS were sold in a private transaction to
sophisticated bank investor and to a trust organized outside the United States
by two institutional accredited investors sophisticated and experienced with
investments similar to the TPS, subject to resale limitations and offering
restrictions.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
Citizens held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 15, 2003 at which the
shareholders elected four nominees to the Board of Directors. Each of the
nominees for director at the meeting was an incumbent and all nominees were
elected. The following table sets for the number of votes for and withheld with
respect to each nominee.
