1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
(none of which are other than normal recurring accruals)
necessary for a fair statement of financial position of the
Company and the results of operations for the three month
periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1998. The results
contained in these statements are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the entire year.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and notes included in the Company's annual report
on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1998.
2. RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain items in the 1997 consolidated financial statements
have been reclassified to conform to current year
classifications.
3. NET INCOME PER SHARE
During 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 128,
Earnings per Share, ("FAS128"). FAS128 specifies the
computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for
earning per share, replacing the presentation of primary
earnings per share with the presentation of basic earnings
per share. For entities with complex capital structures,
the presentation of fully diluted earning per share is
replaced with diluted earning per share. FAS 128 is
effective for both interim and annual financial statements
issued for periods ending after December 15, 1998.
The Company adopted FAS128 in 1998.
Presented below is a summary of the components used to
calculate diluted earnings per share for the three months
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997.

4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1997, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard No.
130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, ("FAS130"). This standard
establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive
income and its components in a full set of general purpose
financial statements. FAS130 requires all items that are
required to be recognized under accounting standards as
components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial
statements that is displayed in equal prominence with the other
financial statements. The term "comprehensive income" refers to
revenues, expenses, gains, and losses that are included in
comprehensive income but excluded from earnings under current
accounting standards. Currently, "other comprehensive income"
for the Company consists of items recorded in equity under
Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. FAS130 is effective
for financial statements for years beginning after December 15,
1997.
In June 1997, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard No.
131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information, ("FAS131"). FAS131 establishes new standards for
the disclosures made by public business enterprises to report
information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires those enterprises to report selected
information about operating segments in interim financial
reports to shareholders. It also establishes standards for
related disclosures about products and services, geographic
areas, and major customers. FAS131 is effective for financial
statements for years beginning after December 15, 1997. The
Company does not have separate segments and thus has not
segmented reporting in the accompanying financial statements.
In June 1998, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, ("FAS133"). The standard establishes comprehensive
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments
and hedging activities. FAS133 requires that all derivative
instruments be recorded in the statement of financial position
at fair value; the accounting for gains or losses due to changes
in fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether
the derivative instruments qualify as hedging instruments. If a
derivative instrument does not qualify as a hedge, the gain or
loss is reported in earnings when it occurs. However, if the
derivative qualifies as a hedging instrument, the accounting
varies based on the type of risk being hedged, and includes
either recognizing earnings for changes in fair value each
reporting period, or accumulating changes in other comprehensive
income and recognizing earnings during the period that the
hedged forecasted item impacts earnings. FAS133 becomes
effective for financial statements for the first quarter of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company has no
derivative financial instruments that would be accounted for at
fair value under FAS133.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
- ----------------------------------
REVIEW OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
- --------
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 1998 was
$80,639 a decrease of $17,246 or 17.62% when compared to the
three months ended December 31, 1997. The decline in net
earnings resulted primarily from an increase in general and
administrative expense of $23,915.
NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------
Net interest income is the difference between the interest and
fees earned on loans, securities and other interest earning
assets (interest income) and the interest paid on deposits and
FHLB advances (interest expense). The Bank's deposits and FHLB
advances are primarily short term in nature and reprice faster
than the Bank's interest earning assets, consisting mainly of
loans and mortgage backed securities, which generally have
longer maturities. The mix of the Bank's interest earning
assets and deposits and FHLB advances along with the trend of
market interest rates have a substantial impact on the change in
net interest margin. The cost of the Bank's interest bearing
liabilities decreased 16 basis points from 4.20% for the three
month period ended December 31, 1997 to 4.04% during the three
month period ended December 31, 1998 while the yield on interest
earning assets increased 16 basis points from 7.49% for the
three month period ended December 31, 1997 to 7.65% for the
comparable period in the current fiscal year.
The increase in the average yield on interest earning assets
along with a decline in the average cost of interest bearing
liabilities led to a slight increase in net interest income
despite a decline in the average balances of interest earning
assets and interest bearing liabilities. The Bank's net
interest income increased by $6,033 or .80% from $749,571 for
the three month period ended December 31, 1997 to $755,604 for
the three month period in the current fiscal year.
OTHER INCOME
- ------------
During the three month period ended December 31, 1998 other
income decreased from $128,304 for the three month period ended
December 31, 1997 to $123,344 for the comparable period in the
current fiscal year. The decrease resulted from declines in
gains on sale of assets and securities of $14,466 which was
partially offset by an increase in service charges on deposits
of $10,116 when comparing the three months ended December 31,
1998 to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.
OTHER EXPENSE
- -------------
During the three month period ended December 31, 1998 the Bank's
other expense increased by 3.29% or $23,915 from $724,930 for
the three month period ended December 31, 1997 to $748,845 for
the comparable period in the current year. Salaries and employee
benefits, data processing expense and advertising expense
increased by $39,207, $24,658 and $10,429 respectively when
comparing the three months ended December 31, 1997 to the three
month period ended December 31, 1998. The increase in salaries
and employee benefits resulted from a changes in recording
expense associated with the Citizens Federal Savings Bank ESOP
in
11
accordance with the AICPA's SOP 96-3, in the way payments and
accruals for the Bank's biweekly payroll and employee benefits
are recorded and from the hiring of one additional staff person
when comparing the three months ended December 31, 1998 to the
same period in the prior fiscal year. Effective June 16, 1998
the Bank began using the services of a third party processor to
handle the item processing and statement rendering for all of
the Bank's checking accounts. The expense associated with that
service is the primary reason for the increase in data
processing expense between the three month period ended December
31, 1997 when compared to the three month period in the current
fiscal year. The increases described above were partially offset
by a decline in other expense of $38,796 from $113,880 for the
three months ended December 31, 1997 to $75,084 for the three
month period in the current fiscal year. During December 1997
the Bank charged off a $25,000 investment in a small business
investment corporation. There was no such charge during the
current fiscal period.
REVIEW OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -----------------------------
Significant factors affecting the Bank's financial condition
from September 30, 1998 to December 31, 1998 detailed below:
ASSETS
- ------
Total assets decreased $806,971 or .88% from $92,166,042 at
September 30, 1998 to $91,359,071 at December 31, 1998. The
decline is primarily attributable to a decline in the Bank's
deposits and other liabilities and was funded primarily by a
decrease in federal funds sold and overnight deposits which
declined by $899,887 from $1,924,850 at September 30, 1998 to
$1,024,963 at December 31, 1998.
LIABILITIES
- -----------
Total liabilities decreased $776,276 or .92% between September
30, 1998 and December 31, 1998. The decrease resulted from a
decline in the Bank's interest bearing deposits of $1,400,203
from $73,892,189 at September 30, 1998 to $72,491,986 at
December 31, 1998. The decline in deposits is attributable to a
large withdrawal by an institutional customer of the Bank and by
seasonal withdrawals of transaction accounts.
LOAN QUALITY
- ------------
A key to long term earnings growth for Citizens Federal Savings
Bank is maintenance of a high quality loan portfolio. The
Bank's directive in this regard is carried out through its
policies and procedures for review of loans. The goals and
results of these policies and procedures are to provide a sound
basis for new credit extensions and an early recognition of
problem assets to allow the most flexibility in their timely
disposition.
At December 31, 1998 the Bank had $1,022,781 in assets
classified as substandard including real estate acquired by
foreclosure of $157,496, no assets classified as doubtful and
$256,094 in assets classified as loss. A specific loan loss
reserve has been established for all loans classified as a loss.
At September 30, 1998 the Bank had $733,881 in assets classified
as substandard including real estate acquired by foreclosure of
$59,634, no assets classified as doubtful and $225,439 in assets
classified as loss.
The allowance for loan losses was $501,711 at December 31, 1998.
Management believes that the current allowance for loan losses
is adequate to cover any potential future loan losses which
12
exist in the loan portfolio, although there can be no assurance
that further increases in the loan loss allowance will not be
made as circumstances warrant.
LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST SENSITIVITY
- ----------------------------------
The Bank is required under applicable federal regulations to
maintain specified levels of cash and "liquid" investments in
qualifying types of United States Treasury and federal agency
securities and other investments. Such investments serve as a
source of funds upon which the Bank may rely to meet deposit
withdrawals and other short term needs. The Bank monitors its
cash flow position to assure adequate liquidity levels and to
take advantage of market opportunities. The Bank maintains
liquidity levels, which significantly exceed the minimum
regulatory requirements. Management believes that the Bank's
liquidity is adequate to fund all outstanding commitments and
other cash needs.
Changes in interest rates will necessarily lead to changes in
net interest margin. The Bank's goal is to minimize volatility
in the net interest margin by taking an active role in managing
the level, mix and maturity of assets and liabilities. The
Bank's primary emphasis in reducing its interest rate risk is
to focus on reducing the weighted average maturity of the loan
portfolio and by purchasing adjustable rate securities.
YEAR 2000 (Y2K) READINESS DISCLOSURE
- ------------------------------------
The Bank is a user of computers, computer software and equipment
utilizing embedded microprocessors that are affected by the year
2000 issue. The year 2000 issue exists because many computer
systems and applications use two digit date fields to designate
a year. As the century date change occurs, date sensitive
systems may recognize the year 2000 as 1900, or not at all. The
inability to recognize or properly treat the year 2000 may cause
erroneous results, ranging from system malfunctions to incorrect
or incomplete processing.
Citizens Federal Savings Bank has prepared an action plan to
evaluate our computer systems, software products and vendor
services for year 2000 compliance. The Bank's plan consists of
the following:
PROBLEM AWARENESS - The Bank is aware of the problems
that could potentially arise from year 2000 problems
and has analyzed internal systems as well as services
provided by third parties. Educational initiatives
with regard to customer awareness will continue into
1999.
ASSESSMENT PHASE - The Bank has inventoried technology
assets and contacted third party vendors and service
providers to assess exposure to year 2000 problems.
The Bank's third party data processing arrangement has
been identified as the primary mission critical system
for Citizens Federal.
RENOVATION PHASE - Hardware and software which was
identified during the assessment phase as not being
year 2000 compliant has been upgraded, replaced or
scheduled for replacement during the early part of
1999. A third party processor provides the Bank's data
processing and one set of testing was done between the
Bank and the processor during September 1998. Based on
the results from testing which has already been
conducted the mission critical third party data
processing system will be ready for year 2000
processing.
13
VALIDATION - The Bank's internal systems as well as the
third party processor which provides the Bank's primary
data processing requirements have been tested for year
2000 compliance. Additional testing of those critical
applications is scheduled for the early part of 1999.
In addition to the testing conducted by Citizens
Federal with the third party processor, over 100 other
users of the system have also conducted tests and will
be doing additional testing for year 2000 readiness.
The Bank has received certifications from non-critical
vendors and service providers and will rely on those
where complete testing is not possible.
IMPLEMENTATION - Replacement of non-compliant
technology at the institution is essentially complete.
Results from additional tests, which are scheduled for
early 1999, will be thoroughly reviewed and remedial
actions, which are determined to be necessary for year
2000 compliance, will be taken.
Based on the results of tests, reviews and analysis done to date
the Bank expects to be able to operate in a normal fashion
before, during and through the year 2000 period. While working
to ensure that the Bank's primary objective of conducting
business as usual there can be no guarantee that there will not
be disruptions related to the year 2000.
A failure of the Bank's data processing system would be a likely
worst case year 2000 scenario. Under such conditions the Bank
would operate in a manual mode relying on printed trial balance
reports from December 30, 1999 and/or December 31, 1999 as a
base record during the time the problems with the system were
being corrected. The Bank's management is in the process of
reviewing appropriate cash and liquidity levels as the year 2000
approaches.
The Bank has incurred approximately $48,000 in capital
expenditures to upgrade and/or replace computer equipment and
approximately $5,000 in operating expenses associated with year
2000 compliance since the beginning of 1998. Additional
expenditures to attain year 2000 readiness are not expected to
exceed $25,000 and will not have a material financial impact on
the Bank.
INFORMATION ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------
Any statement contained in this report which is not a
historical fact, or which might otherwise be considered an
opinion or projection concerning the Bank or its business,
whether expressed or implied, is meant as and should be

governmental regulations, and general economic conditions, as

CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND RESOURCES
- ------------------------------
Management is committed to maintaining capital at a level
sufficient to protect stockholders and depositors, provide for
reasonable growth, and fully comply with all regulatory
requirements. Management's strategy to maintain this goal is to
retain sufficient earnings while providing a reasonable return
to stockholders in the form of dividends and return on equity.
The Office of Thrift Supervision has issued guidelines
identifying minimum regulatory "tangible" capital equal to 1.50%
of adjusted total assets, a minimum 3.00% core capital ratio and
a minimum risk based capital of 8.00% of risk weighted assets.
The Bank has provided the majority of its capital requirements
through the retention of earnings.
At December 31, 1998 the Bank satisfied all regulatory
requirements. The Bank's compliance with the current standards
is as follows:

As of October 18, 1996 and July 23, 1998, the Bank entered
into Agreements with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS)
intended to correct certain deficiencies, about which the
OTS expressed supervisory concern. Pursuant to the
Agreement, the Bank agreed to adopt certain guidelines,
procedures and policies. The Bank also agreed to adopt a
business plan covering such matters as lending activities,
operating expenses, operating results and other matters.
The Bank believes it is in substantial compliance with or
will be in compliance with the terms of the Agreement within

were not to comply with the Agreement, the OTS would have
certain enforcement rights, possibly including the right to
commence an action to remove directors and/or officers or to
appoint a conservator or a receiver for the Bank. Although
compliance with the Agreement has not had and is not
expected to have a material impact on the operations of the
Bank, there can be no assurance that the Agreement will not
have an adverse impact on the Bank's future operations.
