CITIZENS SECURITY GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
Unaudited
June 30, 1995 and 1994
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Citizens
Security Group Inc. (the "Company") and the Company's wholly owned
subsidiaries, Citizens Fund Insurance Company and Insurance Company of Ohio,
and have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1995, the related Consolidated
Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994,
the related Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June
30, 1995 and 1994, and the related Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity
for the six months ended June 30, 1995, are unaudited. In the opinion of
management, all necessary adjustments for a fair presentation of such financial
statements have been included. The operating results for the periods ended June
30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
entire year.
The consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes contained in the Company's Annual Report
to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1994.
(2) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Earnings per common share are calculated based on the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding and after net income is reduced
for the amount of dividends declared on the Company's Series A preferred stock.
Declared preferred stock dividends were $173,906 and $86,953 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
(3) INVESTMENTS
The Company classifies its entire fixed maturity and equity investment
portfolios as "available-for-sale." Accordingly, these investments are reported
at estimated market value with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred
taxes, recorded in shareholders' equity. Classifying these portfolios as
"available-for-sale" does not impact net income.
Short-term investments include investments maturing within one year, money
market instruments and mutual funds. Short-term investments with original
maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents for purposes
of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Realized gains or losses on sales of investments, based on specific
identification of the investments sold, are credited or charged to income.
Changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation resulting from changes in the
market value of investments are credited or charged to shareholders' equity, net
of deferred income taxes, if any.

(4) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The primary objective under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," is to ensure the deferred tax
asset or liability on the balance sheet properly reflects the amount due to or
from the government in the future. As a consequence, the portion of the tax
expense resulting from the change in the deferred tax asset or liability may not
always be consistent with the income reported in the Consolidated Statements of
Income.
Some items of revenue and expense included in the Consolidated Statements of
Income may not be currently taxable or deductible on income tax returns.
Therefore, the income tax assets and liabilities are divided into a current
portion, which is the amount attributable to the current year's tax return, and
a deferred portion, which is the amount attributable to another year's tax
return. The revenue and expense items not currently taxable or deductible are
called temporary differences. Income tax expense or benefits are recorded in
various places in the Company's financial statements. A summary of these
amounts is as follows:

If the Company believes that all of its deferred tax assets will not result
in future tax benefits, the Company must establish a "valuation allowance"
for the portion of these assets that it thinks will not be realized. Based
upon review of the Company's refundable taxes, anticipated future earnings,
and all other available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company has
concluded it is "more likely than not" that its net deferred tax assets will
be realized.
Income tax payments in the first six months of 1995 and 1994 were $600,000 and
$301,000, respectively.
(5) PROPERTY-LIABILITY REINSURANCE AND RELATED RESERVES
Ceded reinsurance involves having other insurance companies agree to share
certain risks with the Company. The primary purpose of ceded reinsurance is to
protect the Company from potential losses in excess of the amount it is prepared
to accept. Reinsurance may be on an individual policy basis or to protect
against catastrophic losses.
SFAS No. 113, "Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and
Long-Duration Contracts," requires the Company to report balances pertaining to
reinsurance transactions "gross" on the balance sheet. The Company now records
reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses and ceded unearned premiums as assets
in contrast to the Company's prior practice of netting these amounts against the
corresponding liabilities.
Page 9
CITIZENS SECURITY GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued
The Company expects the companies with whom reinsurance is placed to honor their
obligations to the Company. In the event these companies are unable to honor
their obligations, the Company will pay these amounts. As of December 31, 1994,
approximately 66 percent and 77 percent of the total reinsurance recoverable and
prepaid reinsurance premiums, respectively, were with the North American
Reinsurance Corporation. That company is rated "A" by A.M. Best Company and
"AAA" by Standard and Poor's for its property/liability claims-paying ability.
The effect of ceded reinsurance on premiums written, premiums earned and
insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses is as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
The consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read in
conjunction with the following discussion, since they contain important
information for evaluation of the Company's financial condition and operating
results.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Direct premiums written increased 9.6 percent and 10.3 percent in 1995 over
1994 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, respectively,
primarily because of business growth in Ohio and Wisconsin. The growth is
mainly attributable to an increase in policies written for personal
automobile and larger commercial accounts.
Premiums earned for the three and six month periods rose 10.0 percent and
15.0 percent, respectively, over the comparable 1994 amounts. The 1995 earned
premiums were positively affected by a $592,398 refund of excess ceded
premiums received from the Minnesota Workers' Compensation Reinsurance
Association ("MWCRA").
The property and casualty insurance market continues to be competitive.
Although revenues from the Company's association business grew 36.5 percent
from association revenues during the first six months of 1994, commercial
business in Minnesota and Wisconsin is intensely competitive in the workers'
compensation line. The Company's current strategy is to strive to maintain rate
adequacy in order not to jeopardize underwriting results.
Net investment income was $606,629 for the second quarter of 1995 compared to
$531,235 for the second quarter of 1994. For the first six months of 1995, net
investment income was $1,215,239 compared to $1,049,303 in 1994. Such increases
over 1994 results were primarily a result of an increase in invested assets.
The Company experienced realized gains on investments of $37,649 in the second
quarter of 1995 compared to a realized loss of $404 in the same period in 1994.
For the first six months of 1995, realized gains on investments were $46,433
compared to $16,380 in 1994. The Company continued to shorten the duration of
the investment portfolio in order to decrease its exposure to interest rate
volatility.
The Company's loss ratio (loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred to premiums
earned) was 70.1 percent for the second quarter of 1995 compared to 63.5 percent
in the second quarter of 1994. The Company experienced an increase in the
severity of claims during 1995. The majority of the increase in severity
occurred in the homeowners line of business as a result of storms occurring in
May 1995, and in the personal automobile line of business due to major
accidents occurring during the second quarter. For the six months ended June
30, 1995, the loss ratio was 66.3 percent compared to 65.8 percent for the same
period in 1995.
The Company's expense ratio (total operating expenses to premiums earned) for
the second quarter of 1995 was 36.5 percent as compared to 34.8 percent for the
second quarter of 1994. The increase was primarily due to an increase in
dividends paid to associations and pursuant to Wisconsin workers' compensation
policies. The expense ratio for the six months ended June 30, 1995 decreased .6
percent as compared to the same period a year ago.
Page 11
For the second quarter of 1995, net income was $214,222, or $.07 per common
share, compared to net income of $557,865, or $.28 per common share, for the
second quarter of 1994. For the first six months of 1995, net income was
$1,011,350, or $.50 per common share, versus $892,048, or $.35 per common share,
for the same period in 1994. The MWCRA refund, in addition to accrued interest
income associated with such refund, accounted for net income of approximately
$410,000, or $.25 per common share, in the first quarter of 1995.
The Company's results of operations are affected by seasonal weather variations.
Accordingly, results reflected for any interim period are not necessarily
indicative of those to be expected for the entire year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The primary sources of liquidity for the Company's subsidiaries are funds
generated from insurance premiums and net investment income. The Company's
subsidiaries' funds are generally invested in fixed maturity securities. At
June 30, 1995, the Company and its subsidiaries held cash and short-term
investments of $1,990,709. Management believes that these funds provide
adequate liquidity for the payment of claims and other short-term cash needs.
On November 3, 1989, the Company obtained a $6,000,000, seven-year bank loan
from First Bank National Association, which has subsequently been amended. The
principal balance of the bank loan remaining to be paid as of June 30, 1995 was
$1,318,920. The current interest rate is 9.25 percent, but the rate is variable
and is tied to the prime rate. The Company agreed to certain restrictive
covenants which limit the amount of subsequent indebtedness, capital
expenditures and business acquisitions.
As a holding company, the Company depends on dividends from its subsidiaries and
fees payable under the Capital Access Fee Agreement to provide funds for bank
loan payments, preferred stock dividends and other operating expenses.
As of June 30, 1995, the Company had no material commitments for capital
expenditures.
