PART I -- FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements
(1) The interim financial statements are prepared pursuant to the
requirements for reporting on Form 10-QSB. The December 31,
1994 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial
statements but does not include all disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles. The interim financial
statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes included in the Company's
latest annual report on Form 10-KSB. In the opinion of
management, the interim financial statements reflect all
adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair
statement of the results for interim periods. The current
period results of operations are not necessarily indicative of
results which ultimately will be reported for the full year
ended December 31, 1995.
(2) As of January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 115 (FASB 115),
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities". Under FASB 115, the Company has classified its
investment securities into two categories, held-to-maturity and
available-for-sale. Securities considered as held-to-maturity
generally include all municipal and US Treasury and Government
Agencies maturing within two years, which the Company has both
the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity.
Available-for-sale securities are those not considered held-to-
maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized
cost and are $11,638,000 at June 30, 1995 and $13,024,000 at
December 31, 1994. Available-for-sale securities are carried at
their fair value at June 30, 1995 of $23,800,000, which includes
a net unrealized loss of $27,470 from their amortized cost of
$23,827,000. The net unrealized loss net of a deferred tax
benefit of $9,340 is carried as a reduction of stockholders'
equity of $18,130.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
JUNE 30, 1995
GENERAL STATEMENT
Citizens Bank, Ville Platte, Louisiana (The Bank) is a commercial
banking institution formed in 1975 under the banking laws of the State
of Louisiana. The Bank conducts business at a main office located in
the City of Ville Platte, Louisiana and at branch offices located in the
Town of Mamou, Louisiana and the Village of Pine Prairie, Louisiana. The
Bank offers a full range of traditional commercial banking services,
including demand, savings, and time deposits, consumer, commercial,
agriculture, and real estate loans, safe-deposit boxes, and access to
two retail credit card plans, "VISA and MASTER CARD". Drive-in
facilities are located at all banking locations.
The Bank is the 100% owned and consolidated subsidiary of Citizens
Bancshares, Inc. of Ville Platte, Louisiana (the Company). The Company
owns no other company.
The purpose of this narrative is to provide additional information that
one may use to gain a more complete perspective on the operation of
Citizens Bank as a commercial banking enterprise. Comments included
herein should be read and taken into consideration along with other
specific financial information given within this report. It is also
noted that these comments may represent information that would not be
otherwise available from the financial statements alone.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Bank's total assets increased during the first six months of 1995
from $74,165,000 to $82,285,000, a $8,120,000 or 10.95% increase. Most
of this increase took place in the first quarter of 1995 due to the ac
quisition of the Pine Prairie Branch which was purchased on January 12,
1995 from American Security Bank of Ville Platte, Louisiana. With about
80% of the deposits remaining with Citizens Bank, the acquisition has
provided growth opportunities and new customer relationships for the
Bank. In comparing the first quarter of 1995 to the second quarter of
1995, the bank's total assets increased by $1,082,000 or about 1%; this
increase resutled broad internal growth.
Earning assets, which include loans, investment securities, federal
funds sold, and deposits in other banks were $78,628,000, a 10.58%
increase from 1994 year end earning assets of $71,103,000. Increases in
earning assets positions generally mirror increases in total assets both
in terms of the amounts and causes of change.
Nonaccrual loans, which are loans on which the interest recognition has
been suspended until received because of doubts as to the borrowers'
ability to repay principal and interest, were $179,008 at June 30, 1995.
Loans which are 90 days or over past due and still accruing interest
totaled $289,749 at June 30, 1995. Past Due loans to total loans for
June 30, 1995 was 2.31% and loan to deposit ratio was 48.30%.
The Allowance for Possible Loan Losses at June 30, 1995 was $790,558.
Management maintains an allowance for possible loan losses at a level
considered to be adequate to provide for possible loan losses. At June
30, 1995, the loan loss reserve to total loans was 2.19%. A total of
$30,000 has been added to the allowance by charges against income during
the first six months of 1995. Total charge-offs as of June 30, 1995
were $33,716 and recoveries of charge-offs totaled $20,172.
As the Bank's primary source of funds, deposits, both time and demand,
increased $7,014,000 or 10.36% during the first six months of 1995. Non-
interest-bearing deposits increased $895,000, and interest-bearing
deposits increased $6,119,000. With the downward turn in interest
rates, management finds that most depositors are staying short and feels
pressured with the competitor rates being offered by local brokerage
firms.
The primary functions of asset/liability management are to assure
adequate liquidity and maintaince of appropriate balance between
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Liquidity
management involves the ability to meet cash flow requirements of
customers. With the Bank's asset/liability management program, most
loan and deposit changes can be anticipated and provided for without an
adverse impact on earnings. The Bank's liquidity ratio at June 30, 1995
was 56.59%.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Bank's net income for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was
$463,000 or $4.02 per share as compared to $493,000 or $4.29 per share
for the same period in 1994. At June 30, 1995, net return on assets was
1.14% and the net return on equity was 11.85%.
Noninterest income, which consists of service charges and fees on
financial services, was $301,000 for the first six months of 1995, a
$75,000 increase from the first six months of 1994. Most of this
increase is attributed to the gain on sale of assets in which $55,000
was credited to income for the adjustment of land acquired in exchange
to fair value in accordance with the Official of Financial Institution.
Noninterest expense for the first six months of 1995 increased by
$139,000 as compared to the first six months of 1994. Salaries and
employee benefits, the largest component of non-interest expense,
increased by $48,000 as a result of additional staff to meet the branch
acquisition and internal growth of Citizens Bank. With a 15 year
amortization for the premium paid for the acquisition of the Pine
Prairie Branch, $12,667 has been expense as of June 30, 1995.
At June 30, 1995, the bank's ratios were as follows:
Capital to Asset 9.43%
Risk Based 19.45%
Tier 1 17.50%
Leverage Ratio 8.08%
