NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The foregoing financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of
Management, all adjustments (comprising all normal recurring accruals) 
necessary for a fair presentation of financial statements have been included.  
A summary of Bancorporation's significant accounting policies is set forth in 
Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Bancorporation's Annual 
Report on Form 10-K for 1993.  The significant accounting policies used during 
the current quarter are unchanged from those disclosed in the 1993 Annual 
Report.


INCOME TAXES:

Effective January 1, 1993, Bancorporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes."  The
adoption of SFAS 109 changes Bancorporation's method of accounting for income
taxes from the deferred method (APB 11) to an asset and liability approach.
Previously Bancorporation deferred the past tax effects of timing, differences
between financial reporting and taxable income.  The asset and liability
approach requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for 
the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the 
carrying amounts and the tax bases of other assets and liabilities.  Further, 
SFAS 109 requires a valuation allowance be provided against deferred tax 
assets unless management considers it more likely than not that such assets 
will be realized.  Based on current facts and circumstances, management 
believes that deferred tax assets are reasonably assured of realization 
and, accordingly, does not believe that a valuation allowance is necessary.  
The cumulative effect to Bancorporation's results of operations from the 
implementation of the new accounting standard was $221,000.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities recorded pursuant to SFAS 109 are composed
of the following at:

INVESTMENT SECURITIES:

Bancorporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 
(SFAS 115), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity 
Securities."  Management has reviewed the investment securities portfolio 
and classified all securities, except equity securities, as held-to-maturity 
and carried at amortized cost since Bancorporation has both the positive 
intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity.  Equity securities, 
as required by SFAS 115, are classified as available-for-sale and carried at 
estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in 
stockholders' equity on an after-tax basis.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SUMMARY:

First Citizens Bancorporation reported net income of $2,445,000 for the third
quarter of 1994, a 26.66% decrease from the $3,334,000 for the third quarter a
year ago.  Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 was
$7,518,000, a 26.37% decrease from the $10,211,000 reported for the same 
period in 1993.  The downturn in earnings is attributable to the decline in 
net interest margin and interest spreads, along with increased cost of 
operations.

Average loans net of unearned interest for the quarter ended September 30, 
1994 increased $83,845,000 or 10.09% when compared to the same period in 1993, 
with a yield of 8.42% for the third quarter of 1994.  Average taxable and 
non-taxable investment securities for the third quarter of 1994 increased by 
$19,563,000 or 4.07% from the third quarter of 1993, with a taxable equivalent 
yield of 4.80% for the third quarter of 1994.  Average loans net of unearned 
interest for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 increased $72,079,000 or 
8.75%  from the same period in 1993, with a yield of 8.40% for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1994.  Average taxable and non-taxable investment 
securities for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 increased by 
$20,512,000 or 4.34% from the same period in 1993, with a taxable equivalent 
yield of 4.81% for the first nine months of 1994.

Noninterest income increased by $104,000 or 2.26% and decreased slightly by
$36,000 or .26%, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1994, as compared to the same periods in 1993.  For the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1994, noninterest expense increased $455,000 or 
3.08% and $2,464,000 or 5.77%, respectively, as compared to the same periods 
in 1993.  The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to increased 
automation services as a result of outsourcing the majority of data processing 
and was offset by a decline in growth of salaries and benefits through staff 
reductions and furniture and equipment expense.

Net income per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 1994 decreased
26.72% to $2.55, as compared to $3.48 for the third quarter of 1993.  Net 
income per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 decreased 
26.64% to $7.82, as compared to $10.66 for the same period in 1993.

Book value per common share as of September 30, 1994 increased 18.91% to 
$98.35, as compared to $82.71 for the same period in 1993.

As illustrated in the following table, Tier 1 capital was 8.67% at September 
30, 1994 as compared to 8.47% at September 30, 1993.  Total risk based capital 
was 10.81% at September 30, 1994 as compared to 10.97% at September 30, 1993.  
The risk based capital ratios were calculated using the 1992 Final Rules as 
defined by Federal regulators.

increase of 3.08% when compared with $14,765,000 for the same period a year

equipment expense.
