The following discussion satisfies the reporting requirements of Items

Description of Citizens
-----------------------
Organizational History and Subsidiaries
- - ---------------------------------------
Citizens Financial Corp., ("Citizens" or "the Company"), was organized as a
Delaware business corporation on September 29, 1986, and its Certificate of
Incorporation was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on October 2, 1986.
Citizens Financial Corp. was formed at the request of the Board of Directors of
Citizens National Bank of Elkins, Randolph County, West Virginia, for the
purpose of becoming a bank holding company within the meaning of applicable
statutory and regulatory authority.
Citizens National Bank, ("the Bank"), the sole subsidiary of Citizens
Financial Corp., was organized on November 19, 1923 and has operated in Elkins,
Randolph County, West Virginia, as a national banking association continuously
since that time. On March 21, 1987, the stockholders of Citizens National Bank
approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization whereby Citizens National Bank
would become the wholly-owned subsidiary of Citizens Financial Corp. This
reorganization became effective on April 30, 1987. To date, Citizens National
Bank is the sole subsidiary of Citizens Financial Corp.
Employees
- - ---------
As of December 31, 1996 Citizens Financial Corp. had no employees.
Citizens National Bank employed 74 full-time equivalent employees at that date.
The Bank's employees are not represented by any union or other collective
bargaining agreement and the Bank believes its employee relations are good.
Business of Citizens and Citizens National Bank
- - -----------------------------------------------
As a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956, as amended, Citizens' present business is the operation of its bank
subsidiary. As of December 31, 1996 Citizens' consolidated assets approximated
$128,760,000 and total shareholders' equity approximated $14,943,000.
While Citizens has not become directly engaged in any other form of
business it is permitted to engage in certain nonbanking activities which are
closely related to banking under the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act
and the Federal Reserve Boards' Regulation Y. A list of such activities may be
found on pages 47 through 49 of Citizens' Registration Statement on Form S-4
dated February 19, 1987 which is incorporated herein by reference. In addition,
the Bank may engage, directly or indirectly, in certain nonbanking activities as
permitted by its regulatory authorities. Neither Citizens or the Bank has
specific plans to enter any such activity.
Citizens National Bank is a full-service commercial bank and, as such,
engages in most types of business permitted by law or regulation. Among these
services are the acceptance of time, demand and savings deposits including NOW
accounts, regular savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, fixed-rate
certificates of deposit and club accounts. In addition safe deposit box
rentals, wire transfer services and 24-hour ATM services through a regional
network known
3
as MPACT are provided. MPACT is a participant in the nationwide Cirrus
and Plus networks.
The Bank offers a full spectrum of lending services to its customers,
including commercial loans and lines of credit, residential real estate loans,
consumer installment loans and other personal loans. Commercial loans are
generally secured by various collateral, including commercial real estate,
accounts receivable and business machinery and equipment. Residential real
estate loans consist primarily of mortgages on the borrower's personal
residence, and are typically secured by a first lien on the subject property.
Consumer and personal loans are generally secured, often by first liens on
automobiles, consumer goods or depository accounts. A special effort is made to
keep loan products as flexible as possible within the guidelines of prudent
banking practices in terms of interest rate risk and credit risk. Bank lending
personnel adhere to established lending limits and authorities based on each
individual's lending expertise and experience.
When considering loan requests, the primary factors taken into
consideration by the Bank are the cash flow and financial condition of the
borrower, the value of the underlying collateral, if any, and the character and
integrity of the borrower. These factors are evaluated in a number of ways
including an analysis of financial statements, credit reviews and visits to the
borrower's place of business.
The Bank also maintains a trust department which acts as trustee under
wills, as executor and administrator of estates, as guardian for estates of
minors and incompetents and serves in various corporate trust capacities.
Statistical Information
- - -----------------------
The disclosures required by Securities Act Guide 3 - "Statistical
Disclosure by Bank Holding Companies", are included in Item 6 - Selected
Financial Data, on pages 8 through 15 of this report, and are incorporated
herein by reference.
Properties
- - ----------
The services described above are offered from Citizens National Banks' main
offices located at 213 Third Street, Elkins, West Virginia. In addition the
Bank owns a drive-in facility directly across from its main offices on Third
Street and it has owned and operated a full service branch bank in Parsons, West
Virginia since 1984. In February, 1992 an additional branch facility was opened
in Beverly, West Virginia. This newest facility operates as a full service
branch and provides drive-in and ATM service in addition to traditional lobby
services.
Citizens Financial Corp. does not own or lease any property. To date it
has utilized the Bank's facilities and has not occupied more than a minimal
amount of space. Citizens does not compensate the Bank in any way for such
usage as it is deemed to be insignificant. Management believes the existing
facilities are adequate to conduct the Company's and Bank's business.
Competition
- - -----------
Citizens faces a high degree of competition for all of its services from
local banks. Within its market area of Randolph and Tucker counties in West
Virginia there exists 5 competing commercial banks operating numerous branches.
As of June 30, 1996, the most recent date for which data are available, the Bank
had deposits representing approximately 30.1% of total deposits of the five
commercial banks serving its primary market area, which is comparable to its
market share at June 30, 1995. Several in-market mergers involving local banks
were completed in 1992 and the introduction of a major regional competitor
4
further consolidated the local banking industry in 1993. Such merger activity
is not perceived as reducing competitive pressure. Rather it is believed to
result in the establishment of stronger institutions and heightened competition.
Nonbank competition has also increased in recent years locally by the
establishment of brokerage companies and the expansion of insurance operations
and credit unions as well as from mutual funds located throughout the country.
West Virginia banks are allowed unlimited branch banking throughout the
State. In addition, interstate acquisitions of and by West Virginia banks and
bank holding companies are permissible on a reciprocal basis. West Virginia
also allows reciprocal interstate acquisitions by thrift institutions. These
conditions may serve to intensify future competition within Citizens' market.
Supervision and Regulation
- - --------------------------
Citizens, as a bank holding company, is subject to the restrictions of the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is registered pursuant to its
provisions. As such, Citizens is subject to the reporting requirements of and
examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Board of
Governors").
The Bank Holding Company Act prohibits the acquisition by a bank holding
company of direct or indirect ownership of more than five percent of the voting
shares of any bank within the United States without prior approval of the Board
of Governors. With certain exceptions, a bank holding company also is
prohibited from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than
five percent of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank, and from
engaging directly or indirectly in business unrelated to the business of
banking, or managing or controlling banks.
As a bank holding company doing business in West Virginia, Citizens is also
subject to regulation and examination by the West Virginia Department of Banking
and must submit annual reports to the Department. Further, any acquisition
application which Citizens must submit to the Board of Governors must also be
submitted to the West Virginia Banking Board for approval.
On September 29, 1994, the Bank Holding Company Act was amended by The
Interstate Banking and Branch Efficiency Act of 1994 which authorizes interstate
bank acquisition anywhere in the country, effective one year after the date of
enactment and interstate branching by acquisition and consolidation, effective
June 1, 1997 in those states that have not opted out by that date. The impact
of this amendment on the Company cannot be measured at this time.
Citizens National Bank, as a national banking association, is subject to
supervision, examination and regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency. It is also a member of the Federal Reserve System, and as such is
subject to applicable provisions of the Federal Reserve Act and regulations
issued thereunder.
The deposits of the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC") to the extent provided by law. Accordingly, the Bank is
also subject to regulation by the FDIC.
Under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, the Comptroller of the
Currency is required to assess the record of all financial institutions
regulated by it to determine if such institutions meet the credit needs of the
community (including low-to-moderate income neighborhoods) served by them and to
take this record into account in its evaluation of any application made by any
such institution for, among other things, approval of a branch or other deposit
5
facility, office relocation, or the merger with or acquisition of assets of
another bank. The state of West Virginia has a similar statutory regulation.
As a subsidiary bank of a bank holding company, Citizens National Bank is
subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act upon any
extensions of credit to Citizens Financial Corp. or, if such existed, any of its
other subsidiaries, on investments in the stock or other securities of that bank
holding company or its subsidiaries, and on the taking of such stock or
securities as collateral for loans to any borrower.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
- - --------------------------
As of December 31, 1996 Citizens Financial Corp. was not involved in any
material legal proceedings. The Bank is currently involved, in the normal
course of business, in various legal proceedings. After consultation with legal
counsel, management believes that all such litigation will be resolved without
materially effecting financial position or results of operations. In addition,
there are no material proceedings known to be threatened or contemplated against
the Company or the Bank.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
- - ------------------------------------------------------------
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders of Citizens
Financial Corp. during the fourth quarter of 1996.
Part II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Stock and Related
- - ---------------------------------------------------------
Stockholder Matters
-------------------
Historically, the stock of Citizens Financial Corp. and, prior to its
formation, the stock of Citizens National Bank, has traded only sporadically.
The stock is not listed on any security exchange. However, effective November
4, 1991, Citizens established relationships with two regional brokerage firms in
order to provide an efficient and orderly market for transactions involving its
shares and to increase the shares' marketability. There are no further plans,
understandings, arrangements or agreements to list the stock on any exchange at
this time.
Citizens has only one class of stock, that being common stock, and all
voting rights are vested in its holders. The shareholders of Citizens are
entitled to one vote for each share of common stock owned on all matters subject
to a vote of shareholders. The Company has no plans to issue senior securities.
As of December 31, 1996 750,000 shares were issued including 66,447 held as
treasury stock. The Company's outstanding shares are held by approximately 482
shareholders of record.

The prices listed above are based upon information available to Citizens'
management through those brokers which deal in the Company's stock and are
believed to accurately represent the amount at which its stock was traded during
the periods indicated. No attempt was made by management to ascertain the
prices for every sale made during these periods.
Citizens shareholders are entitled to receive dividends when and as
declared by its Board of Directors. Dividends are typically paid quarterly.
Aggregate dividends were $.80 per share in 1996 and $.70 per share in 1995.
Dividends are paid out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends
as set forth in the West Virginia Corporation Act.
Payment of dividends by Citizens is dependent upon payment of dividends to
it by the subsidiary bank. The ability of national banks to pay dividends is
subject to certain limitations imposed by national banking laws - See Note 12 of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements found on page 45 of this report,
for further discussion.

Rate Volume Analysis
The following table sets forth a summary on the changes in interest earned and
interest expense detailing the amounts attributable to (i) changes in volume
(change in the average volume times the prior year's average rate), (ii) changes
in rate (change in the average rate times the prior year's average volume). The
changes in rate/volume (change in the average volume times the change in the
average rate), has been allocated to the changes in volume and changes in rate
in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change
in each.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
---------------------
The following discussion and analysis presents the significant changes in
financial condition and results of operations of Citizens Financial Corp., and
its wholly-owned subsidiary Citizens National Bank of Elkins, for the periods
covered by the audited financial statements contained in this report. This
discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with such financial
statements and the accompanying notes thereto.
Earnings Summary
- - ----------------
Net income for the year 1996 was $1,631,000 or $2.39 per share. This
compares to $1,626,000, or $2.36 per share, in 1995 and $1,110,000, or $1.60 per
share in 1994. Return on average assets was 1.26% in 1996, 1.29% in 1995 and
.89% in 1994. Returns on average equity were 11.23%, 12.07% and 8.78% in the
three years respectively.
During 1996 the Company benefited from a $320,000 increase in net interest
income and a $71,000 improvement in noninterest income. This was offset,
however, by increases in the provision for loan losses and noninterest expense
which totaled a combined $374,000. As a result the annual earnings improvement
was minimal. In 1995, however, earnings improved 46.5% due primarily to a
$589,000 increase in net interest income, a $58,000 increase in noninterest
income and a reduction of noninterest expense of $104,000. These and other
factors relating to the results of operations are more fully addressed in the
following sections of this report.
Net Interest Income
- - -------------------
Net interest income represents the primary component of Citizens' earnings.
It is the difference between interest and fee income related to earning assets
and interest expense incurred to carry interest bearing liabilities. Net
interest income is impacted by changes in the volume and mix of interest earning
assets and interest bearing liabilities, as well as by changing interest rates.
In order to manage these changes, their impact
15
on net income and the risk associated with them, the Company utilizes an ongoing
asset/liability management program. This program includes analysis of the
Company's gap, earnings sensitivity to rate changes, and source and uses of
funds. A discussion of net interest income and the factors impacting it is
presented below.
The Company's net interest margin has steadily increased during each of the
last three years to 5.19% for the year ended December 31, 1996. During 1995 and
1994, net interest margin was 5.06% and 4.57%, respectively. These increases
can be primarily attributed to management's efforts to increase the Company's
yield on earning assets through loan growth and the implementation of a formal
asset/liability management program during 1994. Loan growth during 1996, 1995
and 1994 approximated 6.5%, 21.7%, and .3%, respectively. This growth was
primarily funded by restructuring the composition of the Company's interest
bearing assets. Customer deposits, which is the Company's primary source of
funding, has not significantly fluctuated during 1996, 1995 or 1994 resulting in
a steady increase in the Company's loan to deposit ratio of 81.3%, 76.3% and
63.0% at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. For 1997, management
expects deposits to continue to be the Company's primary source of funding
growth with an expected loan to deposit ratio of approximately 80.0%.
Tax equivalent interest income improved by $666,000 to $10,290,000 in
1996. This is primarily due to the higher average volumes of loans during 1996
of $86,738,000 compared to $76,093,000 in 1995. In order to carry these higher
levels of loans it was necessary to reduce the average security holdings by
$8,832,000. The income foregone by holding fewer securities of approximately
$528,000, however, was more than offset by the $980,000 of income generated by
increasing the loan portfolio. In addition, the yield on the securities
portfolio increased by 43 basis points to 6.35%. This helped provide an
additional $170,000 of interest income. These factors combined to raise the tax
equivalent yield on earning assets from 7.99% in 1995 to 8.33% in 1996.
Like interest income, interest expense increased in 1996 but by the much
lesser amount of $350,000. This increase may be almost entirely traced to
efforts to raise time deposits. Several such efforts, which are discussed
later, resulted in both higher volumes and higher rates on time deposits.
Consequently, interest expense on time deposits increased by $408,000 in 1996.
This effect was partly offset as volumes of other interest bearing deposits,
including savings, NOW and money market accounts, dropped. Nonetheless, the
Company's cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 30 basis points to
3.95% in 1996.
During 1995 tax equivalent interest income increased by $1,039,000 as a
result of two primary factors: increased yields on the Bank's loan portfolio
and increased loan volumes. The yield on this portfolio improved 101 basis
points to 9.20% as adjustable rate mortgages repriced and consumer loans were
added to the portfolio. This had the effect of increasing income by $740,000.
Higher loan volumes, including consumer and commercial loans, had the effect of
increasing interest income an additional $588,000. The remaining interest
earning assets, securities and federal funds sold, contributed less to income in
1995 than in 1994 as their volumes were reduced to fund loan growth. In total
the yield on earning assets improved 80 basis points to 7.99% in 1995.
16
The cost of interest bearing liabilities used to fund earning assets
increased by $399,000 in 1995. Changing rates, particularly those of time
deposits, caused a $369,000 increase in expense. Such changes caused the total
cost of interest bearing liabilities to rise to 3.65% in 1995, a 43 basis point
increase.
Noninterest Income
- - ------------------
Noninterest income comprises just over 5% of total revenues and includes
all revenues which are not included in interest and fee income related to
earning assets. Total noninterest income has risen from $418,000 in 1994 to
$476,000 in 1995 and to a record $546,000 in 1996. This positive trend reflects
several items. First is management's effort, begun in 1994, to identify and
recover costs through the imposition of reasonable service fees similar to those
of the Bank's competitors. As a result fees for commercial services and those
relating to overdrafts and account mimimums have all increased pushing service
fee income from $225,000 in 1994 to $271,000 in 1996. Secondly, new services
have helped raise income levels. In particular, 1995's introduction of a credit
card program generated over $10,000 of merchant fees in 1995 and over $54,000 in
1996. This improvement is reflected in the category of other noninterest
income. Safe deposit box rent, which is also included in this category,
increased by $14,000 in 1996. The improvement in other noninterest income in
1996 is even more significant when one considers that a $24,000 gain on the sale
of the Bank's student loan portfolio occured in 1995.
Trust income also increased in 1996 rising $18,000 to $103,000. This
performance, which was slightly in excess of expectations, reflects both growth
in the Trust's client base as well as the settlement of some larger estates.
Additionally, during the later part of 1996 the trust fee schedule was revised
for the first time in several years to bring fees in line with those of other
trust providers. Finally, because the Company does not engage in securities
trading and no sales of available for sale securities occurred, securities gains
continue to play a minor role in income generation.
Noninterest Expenses
- - --------------------
Noninterest expense includes all items of expense other than interest
expense, the provision for loan losses, and income taxes and approxiamted 52.8%,
52.9% and 56.5% of total expenses during the three years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Total noninterest expense increased
$226,000, or 6.8%, in 1996 after falling $104,000, or 2.6%, in 1995. The
significant components of noninterest expense are discussed below.
Salaries and employee benefits, which comprise just over one-half of total
noninterest expense, increased $146,000 or 7.4% in 1996. This increase is
larger than usual primarily due to the payment of severance benefits to a former
officer. Several other components of this item also increased, however. The
cost of a deferred compensation plan designed to retain key management personnel
carried a full year impact in 1996 verses only eight months in 1995 and
consequently increased by $13,000 to $74,000. This cost is expected to fall in
1997 to approximately $28,000. Incentive
17
compensation, which is paid to employee teams upon the completion of certain
projects, increased $10,000 and the cost of providing life and medical insurance
to retirees rose by $7,000. Offsetting these increases were reductions in
employee group insurance and pension costs. The cost of employee group insurance
was reduced by over $34,000 or 9.7%. The largest component of group insurance is
the Company's medical insurance plan, which is partially self-funded. This plan
benefited from lower claims as well as an adjustment of the prior year's claims
expense. The Company's pension plan, which is discussed in Note 9, enjoys an
overfunded status.
Equipment costs, which were held nearly steady in 1995, dropped nearly
$34,000, or just over 12%, in 1996 following a program of cost-benefit analysis.
Like other banks, the Company also benefited from a reduction in the federally
mandated FDIC insurance program. This cost fell from $126,000 in 1995 to
$2,000 in 1996.
Net occupancy expense increased by $15,000 to $290,000 in 1996. Over
$11,000 of this increase was related to the maintenance of the Company's heating
and cooling system. Absent this nonrecurring cost net occupancy expense would
have increased only 1.5%, one-half of the 3% increase experienced in 1995.
An increase in data processing expense of $38,000 reflects the renewal of
certain data processing contracts and higher credit card processing costs due to
increased volume and having a full year's activity. Other noninterest expenses
experienced an unusually large increase of $226,000 in 1996. This compares to
an increase of just $2,000 in 1995. A number of items contributed to this
increase. Most significant was a $85,000 loss recognized during the fourth
quarter in which a customer illegally obtained funds for their personal benefit.
The Bank is now in the process of attempting to recover those funds. Other
factors contributing to the increase were higher costs for stationery, the
purchase of new software programs, an increase in professional fees and higher
credit card costs.
The reduction in 1995's noninterest expense was mainly due to a $121,000
decrease in FDIC insurance expense. Absent this total noninterest expense would
have increased by $17,000, less than .5%, in 1995. The largest component of
noninterest expense, salaries and benefits remained nearly stable in 1995.
Salaries increased a modest 2.1% and the introduction of a deferred compensation
plan for senior officers carried a cost of $61,000. This was offset, however, by
a $60,000 reduction in group insurance costs. The remaining components of
noninterest expense, including net occupancy expense, equipment expense, data
processing, advertising, and other, totaled $1,806,000, up less than 1% from
1994.
Income Taxes
- - ------------
The Company's provision for income taxes, which totaled $834,000 in 1996,
$823,000 in 1995 and $599,000 in 1994, includes both federal and state income
taxes. Included in these amounts are deferred tax benefits of $6,000, $21,000,
and $41,000, respectively. The effective tax rates for the years 1996, 1995 and
1994 were 33.8%, 33.6% and 35.1%, respectively. Additional information
regarding the Company's income taxes is contained in Note 8 of the consolidated
financial statements.
18
Financial Condition
- - -------------------
Total assets at December 31, 1996 of $128,760,000 were $2,410,000, or 1.9%,
greater than at December 31, 1995. Average assets for the year were up 2.6% to
$129,054,000. This level of growth is consistent with a local economy that is
stable but lacking in high growth industries. Details concerning changes in the
Company's major balance sheet categories, as well as methods used to manage the
balance sheet structure, follow.
Loan Portfolio
- - --------------
The loan portfolio represents Citizens' largest earning asset. Throughout
1996 management successfully managed both the size and mix of the portfolio
after aggressively seeking loan growth in 1995. Total loans grew $5,429,000 in
1996 to $89,089,000, an increase of 6.5%. This compares with loan growth of
$14,938,000, or 21.7%, in 1995.
Mortgage lending, which increased $4,713,000 to $56,733,000 in 1996,
continues to be the Bank's largest loan portfolio making up 63.7% of the total.
The majority of this portfolio is comprised of locally owned one to four family
residences with historically stable values and low foreclosure rates. The Bank
does not currently engage in long-term fixed rate mortgage lending offering
instead variable rate loans which typically carry annual interest rate
adjustments based on one year Treasury rates. No part of the loan portfolio,
including the mortgage portfolio, is held for resale.
Installment loans to consumers represent the Bank's next largest loan
portfolio comprising 21.1% of total loans. In 1995 management availed itself of
local infrastructure improvements to seek growth in consumer lending,
particularly automobile lending. That effect resulted in growth of over $6.4
million, or 55%. These efforts were judged to be successful and in 1996
attention was turned to portfolio maintenance rather than growth. As a result
the installment loan portfolio grew by only $754,000, or 4.2%, to $18,796,000 in
1996. This portfolio is expected to grow by a similar amount in 1997.
Growth in the commercial loan portfolio also slowed in 1996. Following a
year in which this portfolio grew by over 60%, largely by developing
relationships with automobile dealers to obtain floor plan loans, total growth
in 1996 was less than 1% as the portfolio increased by $92,000 to $11,091,000.
This slowdown reflects not only the relatively slow rate of commercial
development in the Bank's primary market but also decisions not to pursue
additional floor plan lending. The Company expects to retain its position as
the primary commercial bank in its market and will attempt to satisfy larger
commercial loan requests by funding such loans through various forms of
borrowing.
The Bank's credit card program, begun in 1995 with a VISA card product, now
also features a MasterCard Gold product. Partly due to this expansion of the
product line the cardholder base increased by 34.8% in 1996 while the merchant
base also grew providing increased levels of fee income. Significant growth in
balances outstanding from the year-end level of $933,000 is not expected absent
the expansion of our credit card market, however.
19
Additional information on the composition of the loan portfolio, including
concentrations of credit risk, may be found in Note 4 to the financial
statements.
The Company strives to maintain its underwriting and credit standards
through all phases of the economic cycle in order to ensure the quality of the
loan portfolio and observes internal guidelines designed to manage growth. In
addition, all loans past due 90 days or more are placed on nonaccrual status
unless they are adequately secured and in the process of collection. As of
December 31, 1996 nonaccrual loans totaled $263,000 while loans past due 90 days
or more still accruing interest were $447,000. The total of these two items,
$710,000, represents .80% of gross loans. This is up from $357,000, or .43%, at
December 31, 1995. The cause for the increase may be traced to several real
estate loans, however, management does not expect to incur any significant loss
as a result.
All losses which may be reasonably anticipated are accounted for in the
allowance for loan losses. Management makes this determination by its analysis
of overall loan quality, changes in the mix and size of the loan portfolio,
previous loss experience, general economic conditions, information about
specific borrowers and other factors. At December 31, 1996, the allowance for
loan losses of $990,000, down $46,000 from $1,036,000 at December 31, 1995, was
considered adequate and management is not aware of any trends, uncertainties or
other information relating to the loan portfolio which it expects will
materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources.
As more fully explained in Notes 1 and 5 of the financial statements, the
Company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 114 and 118
(SFAS Nos. 114 and 118) "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosure", respectively. Under SFAS Nos. 114 and 118, certain impaired loans
are required to be reported at the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted using the loan's original effective interest rate or, alternatively,
at the loan's observable market price, or at the fair value of the loan's
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The adoption of SFAS Nos. 114
and 118 did not significantly impact the Company's financial position or results
of operations during or 1995 or 1996.
The provision for loan losses, which is a charge to earnings made to
maintain the allowance for loan losses at a sufficient level, was increased from
$60,000 in 1995 to $168,000 in 1996. This increase was anticipated as 1995's
loan growth would be expected to generate some additional charge-offs. In fact,
net charge-offs did increase from $24,000 in 1995 to $214,000 in 1996. Further
increases, however, are not anticipated as loan quality is judged to be good.
Note 5 to the financial statements contains additional information about the
allowance for loan losses, charge-offs, and impaired loans.
Securities Portfolio and Federal Funds Sold
- - -------------------------------------------
The Bank's securities portfolio, which decreased over $15 million in 1995
to fund loan growth, fell by only $239,000 to $34,134,000 in 1996.
20
Since transferring $3.2 million of securities from the held to maturity
portfolio to the available for sale portfolio as permitted by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board's "A Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on
Accounting for Certain Debt and Equity Securities", substantially all purchases
of securities have been classified as available for sale. At December 31, 1996
available for sale securities of $23,041,000 comprised 68% of the total
securities portfolio. The remaining 32% is classified as held to maturity as no
trading portfolio is maintained.
At year-end 1996 the estimated fair value of the available for sale
portfolio was $118,000 less than its amortized cost, a decrease of one half of
one percent. While market value may not always so closely approximate amortized
cost, the quality of the holdings and their short duration tend to limit market
value fluctuations. Such changes represent unrealized losses which would only
impact earnings in the event of the sale of the securities. To date no such
sales have occurred.
The composition of both the available for sale and held to maturity
portfolios continues to reflect the Company's conservative philosophy. U S
Treasury and agency securities represent 52% of the total, corporate debt
securities with ratings of A or better represent 27%, and state and municipal
obligations represent another 20% with the remainder being stock held in the
Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank. The average life of the
portfolio has remained short and was 3.13 years at December 31, 1996. Although
the Bank expects to seek prudent opportunities to improve the yield of the
securities portfolio it expects to maintain its conservative philosophy by
placing importance on safety and liquidity. No significant changes in the size
of the portfolio is expected in 1997.
The Bank generally tries to minimize its involvement in the overnight
federal funds sold market. However, at any given time the execution of specific
investing or funding strategies, or normal fluctuations in loan and deposit
balances, may require the Bank to sell, or buy, funds on an overnight basis. At
year-end the Bank had no federal funds sold. Throughout 1996, however, the
average balance in federal funds sold was $1,836,000. This compares with an
average balance of $677,000 in 1995.
Deposits and Other Funding Sources
- - ----------------------------------
Total deposits, which were $109,570,000 at December 31, 1996, averaged
$111,263,000 during 1996. This compares with a 1995 average of $109,211,000, an
increase of 1.9%. This type of slow growth is reflective of both the local
economic climate and increasing competition not only from local banks but also
from annuities, mutual funds, equity securities and other savings and investment
products.
The Company's noninterest bearing deposits, which were 13.5% of total
deposits at year-end, averaged $15,180,000 in 1996, up 2.4% from $14,825,000 in
1995. The major change within the deposit base, however, is found in
certificates of deposit. Total certificates of deposit at December 31, 1996 of
$50,590,000 exceed the year-end 1995 total by $3,167,000, or 6.68%. Over one-
half of this growth was the result of two specific deposit generating efforts.
One such effort offered 13 month
21
certificates for a period of one month and generated $957,000 of deposit growth.
The other, a six month certificate, generated $687,000, also in one month. While
this deposit growth was desired these two programs also had the effect of
causing $1,886,000 of existing deposits to migrate from lower cost deposits into
the higher cost certificates of deposit. Much of this migration came from
savings, money market, and NOW accounts, all of which experienced decreases in
1996.
While changes such as those described may occur, the Bank's portfolio of
core deposits has remained very stable. It is partly due to this stability that
the Bank's use of borrowed funds is typically low. At year-end 1996 overnight
borrowings under a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh
totaled $1,335,000. On average, however, such borrowings totaled just $57,000 in
1996. In addition to federal funds borrowing the Bank maintains a floating rate
repurchase agreement with one customer and a long-term borrowing agreement with
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh for the purpose of funding certain low
income housing projects. At December 31, 1996 these borrowings totaled
$1,960,000. The Bank also considers the use of borrowed funds for the purpose
of funding other types of loans, particularly larger loans, and at year-end 1996
a loan commitment of $800,000 was expected to be funded by future borrowings.
Refer to Note 10 to the financial statements for additional information related
to the Company's borrowing activity.
Capital Resources
- - -----------------
Total shareholders' equity of $14,943,000 at December 31, 1996 represents
11.61% of total assets. This compares with $13,952,000 at year-end 1995 which
was 11.04% of assets. Included in capital are 66,447 shares of treasury stock
carried at a cost of $961,000 and unrealized losses on available for sale
securities of $77,000.
Although not heavily traded the market value of the Company's stock traded
in a range from $24.25 to $25.00 per share in 1996. Dividends, which are
declared by the board of directors on a quarterly basis, increased for the fifth
consecutive year in 1996 to $.80 per share, a $.10 per share increase.
The Federal Reserve's risk-based capital guidelines provide for the
relative weighting of both on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet items based on
their degree of risk. The Company continues to exceed all regulatory capital
requirements as shown in the following table.
Minimum Capital Standard Ratios
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------
Citizens Regulatory
Financial Corp. Requirements
December 31, 1996
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------
Total capital to
risk-weighted assets........ 18.15% 8.0%
Tier 1 capital to
risk-weighted assets........ 17.01% 4.0%
Tier 1 capital to
adjusted total assets....... 11.47% 4.0%
22
The Company is unaware of any trends or uncertainties, nor do any plans
exist, which may materially impair or alter its capital position.
Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
- - ---------------------------------------
The objective of the Company's liquidity management program is to ensure
the continuous availability of funds to meet the withdrawal demands of
depositors and the credit needs of borrowers. The basis of Citizens' liquidity
comes from the stability of its core deposits. Liquidity is also available
through the available for sale securities portfolio, held to maturity securities
due within one year, and short-term funds such as federal funds sold. At
December 31, 1996 these sources totaled $27,953,000 or 21.7% of total assets.
In addition, liquidity may be generated through loan repayments and over
$51,000,000 of available borrowing arrangements with correspondent banks. There
are no plans for capital expenditures or other commitments, including loan
commitments, which cannot be satisfied through existing sources of liquidity.
Details on both the sources and uses of cash are presented in the Statements of
Cash Flows contained in the financial statements.
The objective of the Company's interest rate sensitivity management
program, also know as asset/liability management, is to maximize net interest
income while minimizing the risk of adverse effects from changing interest
rates. This is done by controlling the mix and maturities of interest sensitive
assets and liabilities. The Bank has established an asset/liability committee
for this purpose.
One common interest rate risk measure is the gap, or the difference between
rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. A positive gap occurs
when rate sensitive assets exceed rate sensitive liabilities. This tends to be
beneficial in rising interest rate environments. A negative gap refers to the
opposite situation and tends to be beneficial in declining interest rate
environments. The following table presents an analysis of the Company's
interest rate sensitivity as measured by the gap at December 31, 1996. This
information includes various assumptions and estimates regarding the maturity
and prepayment patterns of certain instruments.

The preceding table reflects the Company's cumulative net interest
sensitive position, or gap, as $(43,914,000) through three months, $(34,390,000)
through six months and $(6,317,000) through one year. Thus, the Bank has a
negative one year gap of $6,317,000, or 5.12% of assets. This suggests that the
Company would benefit if interest rates fall during 1997 with the opposite
occurring if interest rates rise. The Company may reduce its level of liability
sensitivity by reducing the repricing horizons of its assets, lengthening the
repricing horizons of its liabilities, or both. The large negative gap in the
0-90 day category is due to the placement of $44,090,000 of savings, money
market and NOW deposits in this category. Interest rates on these deposits are
determined by management and can be changed at any time. Management's ability
to manage these rates in a beneficial manner has a significant impact on net
interest income.
It should be noted that the gap analysis presented above is a static
analysis as of December 31, 1996. As such, it does not consider variables such
as future loan and deposit volumes, mixes or interest rates.
The Bank also utilizes financial modeling programs to measure and control
its interest rate risk. In such programs changes in net interest income are
forecast under various interest rate scenarios. Instantaneous shifts in
interest rates of up to 200 basis points are regularly tested. At December 31,
1996 such tests indicate the effect on net interest income would be acceptable
under guidelines established by the Board of Directors.
24
Impact of Inflation
- - -------------------
The results of operations and financial position of the Company have been
presented based on historical cost, unadjusted for the effects of inflation,
except for the recording of unrealized gains and losses on securities available
for sale. Inflation could significantly impact the value of the Company's
interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities and the cost of noninterest
expenses, such as salaries, benefits and other operating expenses.
As a financial intermediary, the Company holds a high percentage of interest
rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Consequently, the estimated fair value
of a significant portion of the Company's assets and liabilities reprice more
frequently than those of non-banking entities. The Company's policies attempt
to structure its mix of financial instruments and manage its interest rate
sensitivity gap in order to minimize the potential adverse effects of inflation
or other market forces on its net interest income, earnings and capital. A
comparison of the carrying value of the Company's financial instruments to their
estimated fair value as of December 31, 1996 is disclosed in Note 13 to the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Indirectly, management of the money supply by the Federal Reserve to control
the rate of inflation has an impact on the earnings of the Company. Further,
changes in interest rates to control inflation may have a corresponding impact
on the ability of certain borrowers to repay loans granted by the Company.

CITIZENS FINANCIAL CORP.
AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Significant accounting policies:
The accounting and reporting policies of Citizens Financial Corp. and its
wholly owned subsidiary conform to generally accepted accounting principles and
to general practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. The following is a summary of the more significant accounting
policies.
Principles of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Citizens Financial Corp. and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Citizens National Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Presentation of cash flows: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and
cash equivalents includes cash on hand, balances due from banks (including cash
items in process of clearing) and federal funds sold. Cash flows from demand
deposits, NOW accounts and savings accounts are reported net since their
original maturities are less than three months. Cash flows from loans and
certificates of deposit and other time deposits are also reported net.
Securities: Debt and equity securities are classified as "held to maturity",
"available for sale" or "trading" according to management's intent. The
appropriate classification is determined at the time of purchase of each
security and re-evaluated at each reporting date.
Securities held to maturity - Debt securities for which the Company has the
---------------------------
positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted
for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.
Securities available for sale - Securities not classified as "held to
-----------------------------
maturity" or as "trading" are classified as "available for sale". Securities
classified as "available for sale" are those securities the Company intends to
hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity.
"Available for sale" securities are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains or
losses, adjusted for applicable income taxes, are reported as a separate
component of shareholders' equity.
Trading securities - There are no securities classified as "trading" in the
------------------
accompanying financial statements.
Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized on the
specific identification method. Amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts are computed using the interest method.
Loans and allowance for loan losses: Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid
principal, reduced by unearned discount and an allowance for loan losses.
Interest is recognized on an amortized basis.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to
provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. The allowance is
increased by provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by net charge-
offs. The subsidiary bank makes continuous credit reviews of the loan portfolio
and considers current economic conditions, historical loan loss experience,
review of specific problem loans and other factors in determining the adequacy
of the allowance for loan losses. Loans are charged against the allowance for
loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is
unlikely.
A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is
probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in
accordance with the contractual terms of the specific loan agreement. Impaired
loans, other than certain large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that
are collectively evaluated for impairment, are reported at the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted using the loan's original effective
interest rate or, alternatively, at the loan's observable market price, or at
the fair value of the loan's collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
The method selected to measure impairment is made on a loan-by-loan basis,
unless foreclosure is deemed to be probable, in which case the fair value of the
collateral method is used.
31
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Interest is accrued daily on impaired loans unless the loan is placed on
nonaccrual status. Impaired loans are placed on nonaccrual status when the
payments of principal and interest are in default for a period of 90 days,
unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. Interest
on nonaccrual loans is recognized primarily using the cost-recovery method.
Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred
and amortized as adjustments of the related loan yield over its contractual
life.
Bank premises and equipment: Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost
less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed primarily by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Repairs and
maintenance expenditures are charged to operating expense as incurred. Major
improvements and additions to premises and equipment are capitalized.
Other real estate: Other real estate consists of real estate held for resale
which was acquired through foreclosure on loans secured by such real estate. At
the time of acquisition, these properties are recorded at fair value with any
writedown being charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure,
valuations are periodically performed by management and the real estate is
carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Expenses incurred in connection with operating these properties are charged to
operating expense as incurred. Charging such expenses to income rather than
including them in loss on foreclosed real estate does not materially affect
financial statement reporting. Gains and losses on the sales of these
properties are credited or charged to operating income in the year of the
transaction.
Sales of these properties which are financed by the subsidiary bank and meet
the criteria of covered transactions remain classified as other real estate
until such time as principal payments have been received to warrant
classification as a real estate loan.
Organization costs: Organization costs are being amortized on a straight-line
basis over a period of fifteen years. Unamortized organization costs totaled
$132,084 at December 31, 1996.
Pension plan: The subsidiary bank has a defined benefit pension plan covering
substantially all employees. Pension costs are actuarially determined and
charged to expense.
Postretirement benefits: The subsidiary bank provides certain health care and
life insurance benefits for all retired employees that meet certain eligibility
requirements. The Company's share of the estimated costs that will be paid
after retirement is generally being accrued by charges to expense over the
employees' active service periods to the dates they are fully eligible for
benefits, except that the Company's unfunded cost at January 1, 1993 is being
accrued primarily on a straight-line basis through the year ending 2013.
Income taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future
based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the
date of enactment.
Valuation allowances are established when deemed necessary to reduce deferred
tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The consolidated provision for income taxes includes federal and state income
taxes and is based on pretax income reported in the consolidated financial
statements, adjusted for transactions that may never enter into the computation
of income taxes payable.
Reclassifications: Certain accounts in the consolidated financial statements
for 1995 and 1994, as previously presented, have been reclassified to conform to
current year classifications.
Earnings per share: Earnings per common share are computed based upon the
weighted average shares outstanding. The weighted average shares outstanding
were 683,676, 687,598 and 691,920 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively.
Trust department: Assets held in an agency or fiduciary capacity by the
subsidiary bank's trust department are not assets of the Bank and are not
included in the accompanying balance sheets. Trust department income is
recognized on the cash basis in accordance with customary banking practice.
Reporting such income on a cash basis rather than the accrual basis does not
affect net income materially.

Note 2. Cash Concentrations
At December 31, 1995, the subsidiary bank had a concentration totaling
$3,075,518 with Mellon Bank, NA, which consisted of a due from bank balance and
federal funds sold. At December 31, 1996, the subsidiary bank had no such
concentrations.
Note 3. Securities
During 1995, concurrent with the adoption of the Special Report "A Guide to
Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities" issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the
Company reassessed the classifications of its securities and transferred
securities with amortized cost of $3,210,789 and estimated fair value of
$3,206,221 from the held to maturity category to the available for sale
category. Accordingly, shareholders' equity was decreased $2,809, net of
deferred income taxes of $1,759, to reflect the net unrealized holding loss on
such securities. This reclassification did not have an impact on the
accompanying statements of income.
The amortized cost, unrealized gains, unrealized losses and estimated fair

The Company's total recorded investment in impaired loans at December 31, 1996
and 1995, approximated $425,945 and $105,523, respectively, for which the
related allowance for loan losses determined in accordance with SFAS Nos. 114
and 118 approximated $0 and $0, respectively. The Company's average investment
in such loans approximated $475,455 and $107,701 for the years ended December
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. All impaired loans at December 31, 1996 and
1995, were collateral dependent, and accordingly, the fair value of the loan's
collateral was used to measure the impairment of each.
For purposes of SFAS Nos. 114 and 118, the Company considers groups of
smaller-balance, homogeneous loans to include: mortgage loans secured by
residential property, other than those which significantly exceed the subsidiary
bank's typical residential mortgage loan amount (currently those in excess of
$100,000); small balance commercial loans (currently those less than $50,000);
and installment and credit card loans to individuals, exclusive of those loans
in excess of $50,000.
For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company recognized
approximately $40,881 and $8,847, respectively, in interest income on impaired
loans. Using a cash basis-method of accounting, the Company would have
recognized approximately the same amount of interest income on such loans.

Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of "temporary differences" between
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such
amounts as measured for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
represent the future tax return consequences of temporary differences, which
will either be taxable or deductible when the related assets and liabilities are
recovered or settled.

Note 9. Employee Benefit Plans
Pension Plan: Citizens National Bank has a defined benefit pension plan
covering all employees who meet the eligibility requirements. To be eligible,
an employee must be 21 years of age and have completed one year of continuous
service. The Plan provides benefits based on the participant's years of service
and highest consecutive five year average annual earnings. During 1994, the
Bank amended the Plan's benefit formula to reduce the level of future plan
benefits and made the Plan, which had previously been contributory, non-
contributory. The Bank's funding policy is to make the minimum annual
contribution that is required by applicable regulations.

contribute up to 10% of their annual compensation to the Plan. The Bank is
eligible to make discretionary matching contributions in an amount up to 6% of
each participant's annual compensation. In addition, the Bank is also eligible
to make discretionary non-matching contributions to the Plan. Contributions

postretirement health care plan and a postretirement life insurance plan for all
retired employees that meet certain eligibility requirements. Both plans are
contributory with retiree contributions that are adjustable based on various
factors, some of which are discretionary. The plans are unfunded.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The weighted average discount rate used in estimating the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligations of the health care plan and the life
insurance plan at December 31, 1996 and 1995, was 7.00% and 7.00%, respectively.
For measurement purposes, the maximum monthly benefit of $100 payable per
eligible retiree under the postretirement health care plan was assumed with no
future increases. Accordingly, an assumed 1 percentage point annual increase in
health care cost trend rates would not impact the health care plan's accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 1996 or the aggregate of the
service and interest cost components of the health care plan's net
postretirement benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Executive Supplemental Income Plan: During 1995, the Bank entered into a non-
qualified supplemental income plan with certain senior officers which provides
participating officers with an income benefit payable at retirement age or
death. The liability accrued for the Executive Supplemental Income Plan at
December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $134,035 and $60,587, respectively, which is
included in other liabilities. In addition, the Bank has purchased certain
insurance contracts to fund the liabilities arising under this plan. At
December 31, 1996 and 1995, the cash surrender value of these insurance
contracts was $93,134 and $63,667.
Note 10. Other Borrowings
Short-Term Borrowings: The Company's short-term borrowings consist of
securities sold under an agreement to repurchase (repurchase agreement)
involving one customer and advances under a line of credit with the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB). The repurchase agreement has a contractual term
of 24 months expiring on June 30, 1997. Interest is paid on the agreement at
67.11% of the Wall Street Journal prime rate.
As a member of the FHLB, the subsidiary bank has access to various lines of
credit under programs administered by the FHLB. Borrowings under these
arrangements bear interest at the interest rate posted by the FHLB on the day of
the borrowing and are subject to change daily. The lines of credit are secured
by a blanket lien on all unpledged and unencumbered assets.
The following information is provided relative to these obligations:
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Weighted average interest rate for the year 5.71% 5.56% 5.40% 6.50%
Long-Term Borrowings: The Company's long-term borrowings of $330,348 and
$334,381 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, consisted of advances from
the FHLB under its Affordable Housing Program. These borrowings, which at
December 31, 1996 had an average fixed interest rate of 3.24% and mature in
varying amounts through the year 2014, were used to finance the acquisition of
loans issued by the Randolph County Housing Authority. A summary of the
maturities of these borrowings for the next five years is as follows: $4,239 in
1997; $4,456 in 1998; $4,684 in 1999; $4,924 in 2000; $5,175 in 2001; and
$306,870 due thereafter.
44
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
Reserve Requirements: The subsidiary bank is required to maintain a reserve
balance with the Federal Reserve Bank. At December 31, 1996, $936,000 was
maintained in the reserve balance. The Bank does not earn interest on this
balance.
Litigation: The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of counsel, the outcome of these
matters will not have a significant adverse effect on the Company.
Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk: The subsidiary 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.
Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest
rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the
Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments.
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------
Contract Amount
Financial instruments whose contract ------------------------
amounts represent credit risk 1996 1995
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------
Commitments to extend credit $14,828,681 $16,816,663
Standby letters of credit 100,000 160,000
----------- -----------
$14,928,681 $16,976,663
=========== ===========
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance 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 Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional
obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
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. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit worthiness
on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary
by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit
evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable,
inventory, equipment or real estate.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are
primarily issued to support private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk
involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved
in extending loans. These letters of credit are generally uncollateralized.
Note 12. Restrictions on Subsidiary Dividends
The primary source of funds for the dividends paid by Citizens Financial Corp.
is dividends received from its subsidiary, Citizens National Bank. Dividends
paid by the subsidiary bank are subject to restrictions by banking regulations.
The most restrictive provision requires approval by the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency if dividends declared in any year exceed the year's
net income, as defined, plus the retained net profits of the two preceding
years. During 1997, the net retained profits available for distribution to
Citizens Financial Corp. as dividends without regulatory approval approximate
$2,044,870, plus net income of the subsidiary bank for the interim periods
through the date of declaration.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
the Federal banking agencies. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets,
liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings and other factors.
45
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-
weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average
assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1996, that the
Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
The most recent notification from the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework
for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank
must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage
ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since
that notification that management believes have changed the institution's
category.
The bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the
following table (in thousands).

Note 13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following summarizes the methods and significant assumptions used by the
Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments.
Cash and due from banks: The carrying values of cash and due from banks
approximate their estimated fair values.
Federal funds sold: The carrying values of federal funds sold approximate
their estimated fair values.
Securities: Estimated fair values of securities are based on quoted market
prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, estimated
fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities.
Loans: The estimated fair values for loans are computed based on scheduled
future cash flows of principal and interest, discounted at interest rates
currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit
quality. No prepayments of principal are assumed.
Accrued interest receivable and payable: The carrying values of accrued
interest receivable and payable approximate their estimated fair values.
Deposits: The estimated fair values of demand deposits (i.e. noninterest
bearing checking, NOW, Super NOW, money market and savings accounts) and other
variable rate deposits approximate their carrying values. Fair values of fixed
maturity deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology at
rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities. Any
intangible value of long-term relationships with depositors is not considered in
estimating the fair values disclosed.
46
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Short-term borrowings: The carrying values of short-term borrowings
approximate their estimated fair values.
Long-term borrowings: The fair values of long-term borrowings are estimated
by discounting scheduled future payments of principal and interest at current
rates available on borrowings with similar terms.
Off-balance-sheet instruments: The fair values of commitments to extend
credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using the fees currently
charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining
terms of the agreements and the present credit standing of the counterparties.
The amounts of fees currently charged on commitments and standby letters of
credit are deemed insignificant, and therefore, the estimated fair values and
carrying values are not shown below.
The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial
instruments are summarized below:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Citizens Financial Corp.
and Subsidiary
Elkins, West Virginia
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Citizens
Financial Corp. and its subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company'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
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Citizens
Financial Corp. and its subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
results of their operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

President & CEO (1) 1995 62,302 - 7,434 (3) (4)
1994 58,746 - 1,116 (3) (4)
Emery Thompson, Jr., 1994 25,349 - 372 (3) (4)
President & CEO (2)
(1) Mr. Schoonover was appointed Company President & CEO effective
April 16, 1994.
(2) Mr. Thompson retired from the Company effective April 16, 1994.
(3) The Bank's group life and health insurance program, which is paid for by
the Bank, is made available to all full-time employees and does not
discriminate in favor of directors or officers; however, in accordance with
IRS Code Section 79, the cost of life insurance coverage for an individual
in excess of $50,000 is added to the individual's earnings and is included
in this figure. Also included in this figure board fees earned and the
Company's contributions to the individuals 401(k) retirement savings
program to which the individual has a vested interest.
(4) The Bank's contributions to the pension plan, a defined benefit plan, are
not and cannot be calculated separately for specific participants. No
contributions were made by the Bank in the years presented. The Bank's
executive supplemental income plan provides retirement benefits conditioned
upon continued employment until retirement or the satisfaction of early
retirement criteria. Participants are deemed to receive no compensation
until such conditions are satisfied.
Neither the Company or the Bank maintain any form of stock option, stock
appreciation rights, or other long-term compensation plans. Directors of the
registrant are compensated for meetings attended in the amount of $100 per
meeting. Directors of the Bank receive $400 per meeting. Under normal
circumstances, the Board of Citizens Financial Corp meets quarterly while the
Citizens National Bank Board meets monthly. Directors who are members of the
Bank's loan committee, which meets weekly, receive $300 per month. In addition,
the chairman of Citizens Financial Corp. receives $1,250 per month for service
in that capacity, while the senior vice-president of the Bank receives $1,000
monthly for his services. No employment contracts or change in control
arrangements exist between any executive officer and the registrant, or it's
subsidiary.
Compensation of the bank's executive officers, including its president, is
53
determined by the personnel committee. The committee is comprised of five
outside directors. Compensation levels are determined after consideration is
given to net income objectives and cost of living factors. This process is
consistent with that used to determine the compensation levels of all other
employees. No specific criteria exist which relates executive compensation to
corporate performance and executives receive no preferential consideration in
the establishment of compensation.
Pension Benefits
- - ----------------
Citizens Financial Corp., having no employees, has no retirement program,
but Citizens National Bank has a pension program for its eligible employees.
This pension plan is a qualified retirement plan and is available to all full-
time employees, including officers, who meet the eligibility requirements.
Directors do not participate in this plan. Pensions for all participants are
based on five-year average final compensation. Annual compensation for the
pension plan includes overtime pay and bonuses. Credits are received for each
year of participation at the following rates: 1 percent of the first $9,600.00
of the 5-year average final compensation and 1.5 percent of such average final
compensation in excess of $9,600.00, all multiplied by years of service up to a
25-year maximum.
The annual pension payable on retirement is the total of the pension
credits for each year of service after age twenty-one and the completion of one
year of service. The pension benefits are payable to participants on a monthly
basis in the form of a joint and 50 percent survivor annuity for all married
participants who do not elect otherwise, or in the form of a single life annuity
for all other participants or survivors. Joint and 100 percent survivorship,
single life annuity or 120 payments guaranteed are other optional forms of
distribution. Contributions made to the pension plan are on an actuarial basis,
with the plan year ending October 31. Pension benefits are not subject to a
deduction for Social Security.
An amendment to the pension plan was adopted by the Citizens National Bank
Board of Directors on July 20, 1988. This amendment modified the existing plan
by the addition of two early retirement options. The options provide a change
from actuarial method to straight 4 percent per year below normal retirement
age, and retirement at age sixty-two with 30 years of service with no reduction
in benefits. A subsequent amendment was adopted by the directors on October 31,
1994. This amendment changed the plan from a contributory plan to a
noncontributory plan and reduced the credit formula from 1.5 percent of the
first $9,600 of the 5-year average final compensation and 2 percent of such
final average compensation in excess of $9,600 to the current 1 percent and 1.5
percent. Concurrent with this amendment the Bank established a 401(k) profit-
sharing plan.
The following table represents the normal pension, beginning at age sixty-
five based upon assumed final pay and years of credited services:

401-(k) Plan
- - ------------
The Bank established a 401-(k) profit-sharing plan during 1994 for the
benefit of all employees who have attained the age of 21 and completed one year
of continuous service. Participating employees are eligible to contribute up to
10% of their annual compensation to the plan. The Bank is eligible to make
discretionary matching contributions in an amount up to 6% of each participants
annual compensation. In addition, the Bank is also eligible to make
discretionary non-matching contributions to the plan. During the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995, such discretionary non-matching contributions
totaled $24,436 and $30,000 respectively. No contributions were made to the
plan by the Bank for the year ended December 31, 1994.
Executive Supplemental Income Plan
- - ----------------------------------
During 1995 the Bank entered into a non-qualified supplemental income plan
with certain senior officers. This plan provides participating officers with
retirement income benefits conditioned upon continued employment with the Bank
until reaching the retirement age of 65 or the age of 62 with 30 years of
service. Such benefits are payable to the participant, or their beneficiary, in
180 equal monthly installments. In the event the participant should die before
attaining retirement age but after reaching age 55 with 15 years of service, or
age 60, lump sum death benefits equal to the participants' deferred compensation
amount are paid to the beneficiary. Should death occur prior to the above
described conditions the death benefit is reduced by 50 percent. The
liabilities arising under this plan are funded by certain insurance contracts
purchased by the Bank. Additional information related to the Bank's Executive
Supplemental Income Plan may be obtained by reference to Note 9-Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements which may be found on page 41 of this report.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
- - --------------------------------------------------------
Management personnel of Citizens Financial Corp. have had and expect to
continue to have banking transactions with Citizens National Bank in the
ordinary course of business. Extensions of credit to such persons are made in
the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including
interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with other persons. It is the opinion of management that these
transactions do not involve more than a normal risk of collectibility or present
other unfavorable features.
During the year 1996, the highest aggregate indebtedness of all executive
officers and directors of the holding company, its subsidiary, and their related
interest was
56
$5,653,000 or 37.83 percent of the equity capital of Citizens Financial Corp.
As of December 31, 1996, there were unused lines of credit of $1,566,200 or
10.48 percent of the equity capital of Citizens Financial Corp. outstanding to
these parties.
Other than loans originated in the normal course of business by the Bank,
none of the directors, executive officers, 5 percent or more beneficial
stockholders or their immediate family members have an interest or are involved
in any transactions with Citizens Financial Corp. or Citizens National Bank in
which the amount involved exceeds $60,000, or was not subject to the usual terms
or conditions, or was not determined by competitive bids. Information related
to loans granted to related parties in excess of $60,000 is contained in Note 4-
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which may be found on page 36 of
this report. Similarly, no director, executive officer or 5 percent or more
beneficial stockholder has an equity interest in excess of 10 percent in a
business or professional entity that has made payments to or received payments
from Citizens Financial Corp. or Citizens National Bank in 1996 which exceeds 5
percent of either party's gross revenue.
Raymond L. Fair is a director of Citizens Financial Corp. and also served
as legal counsel to that corporation and to Citizens National Bank during 1996.
Legal fees paid or payable to Mr. Fair by Citizens Financial Corp. and Citizens
National Bank were approximately $6,000 for the year 1996.
