ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     On July 1, 1997 (the "Effective Date"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan
of Merger, dated as of January 27, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among
Citizens Banking Corporation (the "Registrant"), Polaris Acquisition, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("Merger Sub"), and CB Financial
Corporation ("CB"), Merger Sub merged with and into CB (the "Merger").  As a
result of the Merger, CB, the surviving corporation, became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Registrant.  On the Effective Date, each share of CB common
stock issued and outstanding was converted into the right to receive 1.489
shares of the Registrant's common stock.  The background of the Merger, a
description of the recommendations of the Registrant's Board and the CB Board,
and the reasons for the Merger are included in the Registrant's Registration
Statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") filed May 21, 1997,

     CB is a bank holding company, which, through its banking subsidiaries,
provides banking and financial services.  Immediately following the Merger,
the banking subsidiaries of CB were merged with and into Citizens Bank, the
Registrants wholly owned banking subsidiary.

     Prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, there was no material
relationship between the Registrant and CB or between any officers or
directors of the Registrant and the officers or directors of CB.
