CITIZENS BANKING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Citizens
Banking Corporation ("Citizens") have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for
interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2002. The balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been derived
from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all
of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial
statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in Citizens' 2001 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
NOTE 2. SPECIAL CHARGE
In the third quarter, Citizens recorded a special charge of $13.8 million
($9.0 million after-tax). The special charge includes restructuring and
impairment costs associated with reorganization of Citizens' consumer,
business and wealth management lines of business. The reorganization is the
result of a detailed review of Citizens' consumer banking, business banking
and wealth management areas by banking industry consultants and key members
of management during the second and third quarters of this year. This review
revealed opportunities for process change, staff reassignment, reporting
structure changes, branch closures, expense reduction and business growth. As
a result of the reorganization, Citizens expects to layoff approximately 150
employees during the next eight months. These displaced employees will be
offered severance packages and outplacement assistance. Additionally,
Citizens will close twelve banking offices during the fourth quarter of 2002
and six offices during the first half of 2003. The following provides details
on the special charge recorded in the third quarter of 2002 and the related
remaining liability as of September 30, 2002:

NOTE 3. LINES OF BUSINESS INFORMATION
Citizens is managed along the following business lines: Business Banking,
Consumer Banking, Wealth Management, and Other. Selected lines of business
segment information for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2002 are provided below. Prior to January 1, 2002 Citizens managed five lines
of business; Commercial Banking, Retail Banking, Financial Services, F&M and
Other. Beginning in 2002 the F&M line of business was combined into the
remaining four lines of business. In the second quarter of 2002 three of the
business lines, Commercial Banking, Retail Banking and Financial Services,
were renamed Business Banking, Consumer Banking and Wealth Management,
respectively. The components of the renamed business lines remained the same.
Prior year amounts have been restated to reflect the current business unit
structure and cost allocation methodology. There are no significant
intersegment revenues.

The following table sets forth a summary of the results of operations for each
of Citizens' lines of business for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and
2001 and the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

NOTE 5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
On January 1, 2002 Citizens adopted SFAS No. 142 which changed the accounting
for intangible assets. The effect of this statement was to eliminate
amortization of indefinite life intangibles (i.e. goodwill) beginning January
1, 2002. The following table reflects the reconciliation of reported net
earnings and earnings per share to the amounts adjusted for the exclusion of
goodwill amortization.

SFAS No. 142 also requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at least
annually. Citizens has completed it's transitional impairment testing and no
impairment under SFAS No. 142 was identified.

INTRODUCTION
The following is a review of Citizens Banking Corporation's ("Citizens")
performance during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited
financial statements and notes thereto appearing on pages 3 through 10 of this
report and Citizens' 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. A quarterly summary of
selected financial data for each of the quarters in the five-quarter period
ended September 30, 2002 is presented in the table on page 11 of this report.
EARNINGS SUMMARY
Citizens recorded a net loss of $45,929,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2002, or ($1.03) per share, compared with net income of $27,962,000, or
$0.60 per share, for the same quarter of 2001. The third quarter loss was
largely a result of a combined normal and incremental loan loss provision of
$89,250,000, a special charge of $13,807,000 and other charges of $9,425,000.
The after tax effect of these items was $73,100,000 or $1.64 per diluted share.
Returns on average assets and average equity for the quarter were (2.39%) and
(25.63%), respectively, compared with 1.42% and 15.56%, respectively, in 2001.
For the first nine months of 2002, net income was $3,513,000 or $0.08 per share,
compared to $78,915,000 or $1.69 per share for the same period in 2001. Return
on average assets and average equity during the first nine months of 2002 were
..06% and .67%, respectively, compared with 1.32% and 15.05%, respectively, in
2001.
The incremental loan loss provision was primarily in response to an unusually
high amount of commercial credits that deteriorated to charge-off status during
the quarter, as well as increases in nonperforming and impaired commercial
credits. Higher loss factors based on more recent loan loss experience applied
to the formula portion of the allowance, also had an effect on the provision.
Citizens recorded a special charge of $13.8 million ($9.0 after tax) to cover
the costs of restructuring its consumer, business and wealth management lines of
business. The special charge included $8.1 million of compensation and benefits
for severance packages; $2.4 million for branch closing and building impairment
expenses; $2.4 million for consulting fees and employee placement services;
$743,000 for obsolete equipment, software and contract termination fees; and
other costs of $214,000. Citizens also incurred other charges totaling $9.4
million during the third quarter. These charges included a $3.3 million
prepayment penalty on FHLB advances that were repaid during the quarter, a $2.0
million contribution to Citizens' charitable trust, market value adjustments to
various assets of $3.0 million, additional depreciation of $406,000 on obsolete
assets and other costs of $760,000.
Excluding the effects of the incremental loan loss provision and the special and
other charges, net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002
declined from the comparable periods in 2001 due to decreased net interest
income and noninterest income, partially offset by lower noninterest expenses
and income taxes. The decline in net interest income resulted primarily from a
lower level of earning assets. Noninterest income decreased in the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 over the comparable periods in 2001
primarily due to lower bankcard fees as a result of the second quarter 2002 sale
of the merchant services business and the second quarter 2001 sale of the credit
card portfolio. Noninterest expenses decreased for both the three and nine month
periods as a result of lower intangible asset amortization due to adoption of
SFAS No. 142 and lower bankcard expenses as a result of the sale of the merchant
services business and the credit card portfolio.
LINES OF BUSINESS REPORTING
Citizens has four major business segments: Business Banking, Consumer Banking,
Wealth Management and Other. For more information about each line of business,
see Note 18 to Citizens' 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 3 of this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. A summary of net income by each business line is
presented below.

===========================================================================
Business Banking recorded net losses in the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2002 compared to net income in the same periods of the prior year
due primarily to significantly higher loan loss provisions and, to a lesser
extent, increased operating expenses. Higher loan loss provisions were
attributable to increased charge-offs and nonperforming loans in the commercial
portfolio. Net interest income remained relatively flat in both periods as
average loan balances declined slightly while the net interest spread improved.
Noninterest expense increased in both the three and nine month
12
periods ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same periods of the prior year
due to higher other real estate and loan collection costs.
The decrease in Consumer Banking net income for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2002 compared to the comparable periods of the prior year
was primarily due to lower net interest income and higher provisions for loan
losses. The decrease in net interest income was due to a decline in average loan
balances and narrower interest spread on deposits. Loan balances declined due to
the sale of new mortgage loan production, the current and prior year
securitization of new and portfolio mortgage loans, the June 2001 sale of the
Michigan credit card portfolio and a decline in indirect loans. Higher loan loss
provisions were attributable to increased charge-offs in the direct and indirect
loan portfolios. Noninterest income and noninterest expense declined in both the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 due to the sale of the
merchant services business in the second quarter of 2002.
Wealth Management net income declined in both the three and nine month periods
primarily due to lower trust fees. Trust fees decreased due to a lower level of
assets under administration resulting primarily from weak equity markets.
The losses recorded in the Other category for both the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2002 are the result of higher noninterest expenses due to
the special and other charges. Combined special and other charges of $22.0
million were attributed to the "Other" category and are included primarily in
noninterest expense. Partially offsetting the increase in noninterest expense
are reduced goodwill amortization costs of $1.8 million and $5.4 million for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001, respectively, which
resulted from the implementation of SFAS No. 142. See Note 5 for additional
information.

(1) Changes are based on actual interest income and do not reflect taxable
equivalent adjustments.
(2) The change in interest due to both rate and volume is allocated to volume.
Tax equivalent net interest income decreased to $78.8 million in the third
quarter of 2002 from $82.0 million in the comparable period in 2001. A lower
level of earning assets, and to a lesser degree, a decline in net interest
margin, caused the decline. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 tax
equivalent net interest income decreased 2.1% to $236.4 million
13
from $241.4 million for the same period in 2001. A lower level of earning
assets, partially offset by an improved net interest margin, led to the decline.
An analysis of how changes in average balances ("volume") and market rates of
interest ("rates") have effected net interest income appears in the table above.
Detailed analyses of net interest income, with average balances and related
interest rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001
are presented on pages 15 and 16.
For the three months ended September 30, 2002, net unfavorable volume and
rate-related variances resulted in a decrease in net interest income of
$3,078,000 compared to the same period in 2001. The unfavorable volume variance
was caused by a decline in loans, particularly real estate loans. Mortgage loans
declined as Citizens continued selling the majority of its new mortgage loan
production into the secondary market due to the low interest rate environment,
and securitized certain seasoned loans and new mortgage loan production during
the quarter. The decline in loan volume was partially offset by a favorable
volume variance in the taxable investment securities portfolio, as Citizens
purchased new securities and retained (in the form of mortgage-backed
securities) certain fifteen year, fixed-rate mortgages that it had securitized
during the quarter. Net unfavorable rate-related variances for the quarter were
caused by a slightly larger decline in loan and investment yields than the
decline in the cost of deposits and borrowed funds from the same quarter of
2001. Additionally, a $668,000 adjustment to amortization on purchased
mortgage-backed securities contributed to the unfavorable rate-related variance
for the quarter.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 net unfavorable volume-related
variances were partially offset by net favorable rate-related variances,
resulting in a decrease in net interest income of $4,755,000, as compared to the
same period of 2001. The unfavorable volume variance was attributable to the
decline in loans, particularly real estate loans. As previously mentioned,
mortgage loans declined due to the sale of new loan production in the low
interest rate environment and the securitization of certain seasoned and new
mortgage loans. Favorable rate-related variances were caused by a greater
decline in the cost of funds, particularly deposits and short-term borrowings,
than the decline in loan and investment yields.
Net interest margin, the difference between yields earned on earning assets
compared to the rates paid on supporting funds, was 4.40% for the third quarter
and 4.43% for the first nine months of 2002, a decrease of four and an increase
of sixteen basis points, respectively, from the same periods in 2001. The
decrease in margin for the third quarter is a result of a greater decline in the
yield on loans, especially commercial loans, than the reduction in the cost of
deposits. In addition, the previously mentioned adjustment in amortization on
purchased mortgage-backed securities contributed to the decline. Prepayment of
FHLB advances at the end of the third quarter will have a positive effect of
approximately five basis points on net interest margin beginning in the fourth
quarter of 2002.
The improvement in net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30,
2002 compared to the same period of the prior year is a result of reduced
funding costs due to the lower interest rate environment and the balance sheet
restructuring efforts initiated in 2001. The cost of funds, especially the cost
of deposits and short-term borrowings, declined more than the yield on loans and
investments. A favorable shift in the composition of deposits from higher cost
brokered and large time deposits to lower cost interest bearing demand accounts,
also contributed to the improvement in net interest margin. Management
continually monitors Citizens' balance sheet to insulate net interest income
from significant swings caused by interest rate volatility. Citizens' policies
in this regard are further discussed in "Interest Rate Risk".

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses represents a charge against income and a
corresponding increase in the allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan
losses was $89.3 million in the third quarter of 2002, an increase of $80.8
million over the same period in 2001. Net charge-offs were $65.5 million or
4.70% (annualized) of average loans in the third quarter of 2002, up from $8.5
million or 0.57% in the same period a year ago. Commercial loans comprised $62.0
million of the $65.5 million in net charge-offs in the third quarter, including
seven credits totaling $37.0 million or 60% of the commercial loan amount. These
seven credits were from a variety of industries, including automotive
manufacturing and packaging, heavy construction, health supplement products and
real estate development. A summary of loan loss experience during the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 is provided below.

Credit losses are charged and recoveries are credited to the allowance for loan
losses. Provisions for credit losses are based on Citizens' review of the
historical credit loss experience and such factors which, in the management's
judgement, deserve consideration under existing economic conditions in
estimating probable credit losses. Based on current economic conditions and
absent improvement during the fourth quarter, management expects net charge-offs
to continue at higher than historical levels throughout the remainder of 2002,
which may also result in a higher loan loss provision in the same period
compared to the prior year. Given present information, however, management
believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to meet the known risks
inherent in the loan portfolio.
The allowance for credit losses represents management's estimate of probable
losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on ongoing
quarterly assessments and is maintained at a level management considers to be
adequate to absorb probable loan losses identified with specific customer
relationships and for probable losses believed to be inherent in the loan
portfolio, which have not been specifically identified. Management's evaluation
process is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that may be
susceptible to significant change and have the potential to materially affect
net income. Default frequency, internal risk ratings, expected future cash
collections, loss recovery rates, and general economic factors, among other
things are considered in this evaluation, as are the size and diversity of
individual large credits. For these reasons, we believe the accounting estimate
related to determining the allowance for credit losses is a "critical accounting
estimate." Citizens has not substantively changed its overall approach in the
determination of the allowance for loan losses in 2002 from 2001 and the
allocation methods used at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were
consistent. Citizens' methodology for measuring the adequacy of the allowance
relies on several key elements, which include specific allowances for identified
problem loans, allowance by formula and an unallocated allowance, as described
below.
Specific allowances are established for larger commercial and commercial
mortgage loans where management has identified significant conditions or
circumstances that indicate it is probable that a loss has been or will be
incurred on such credits. Credits are identified through a regular quarterly
analysis of all commercial and commercial mortgage loans over a fixed dollar
amount where the internal credit rating is at or below a predetermined
classification. Internal risk ratings are assigned to each commercial and
commercial mortgage loan at the time of approval and are subject to subsequent
periodic reviews by
17
senior management. These ratings encompass ten categories that define a
borrower's estimated ability to repay their loan obligations. The allowance
attributed to these credits is determined by analyzing the borrower's debt
service capacity (discounted estimate of future cash flows); overall financial
condition, resources, and payment record; the prospects for support from any
financially responsible guarantors; and the realizable value of any collateral,
in accordance with the methods prescribed by SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan". Management may also consider overall
portfolio indicators, including trends in historical charge-offs, a review of
industry, geographic and portfolio performance, as well as other qualitative
factors.
The formula allowance is determined for the remaining loan portfolio by applying
projected loss rates to each loan type (commercial without specific loss
allocation, consumer credit, home equity, residential mortgage, and credit
cards) stratified by risk rating for commercial loans and by accrual, nonaccrual
and past due status for homogenous loans, such as consumer installment,
residential mortgage loans, home equity and credit cards that are not
individually risk rated. The projected loss rates incorporate factors such as
historical loan loss experience, trends in past due and nonaccrual amounts, the
effects of the national and local economies and portfolio migration. Management
also considers the current business strategy and credit process, including
credit limit setting and compliance, credit approvals, loan underwriting
criteria, and loan workout procedures.
Management maintains an unallocated allowance in recognition of the imprecision
in estimating and measuring loss when evaluating reserves for individual loans
or pools of loans. The unallocated portion of the allowance is determined based
upon management's evaluation of various conditions, the effects of which are not
directly measured in the determination of the specific and formula allowances.
The evaluation of the inherent loss with respect to these conditions is subject
to a higher degree of uncertainty because they are not identified with specific
credits. The conditions evaluated in connection with the unallocated allowance
include general economic and business conditions in Citizens' key lending
markets, the level and composition of nonperforming loans, underwriting
standards within specific portfolio segments, specific industry conditions
within portfolio segments, loan volumes and concentrations, regulatory
examination results, internal credit examination results and other factors. This
determination inherently involves a higher degree of uncertainty and considers
current risk factors that may not have yet manifested themselves in Citizens'
specific allowances or in the historical loss factors used to determine the
formula allowances.
The allowance for loan losses was $104.2 million at September 30, 2002, an
increase of $23.9 million compared to December 31, 2001. The higher outstanding
allowance at September 30, 2002, reflects an increase in both the specific and
formula based reserves. At September 30, 2002 the allowance allocated to
specific credits was $10.5 million, up from $9.5 million at December 31, 2001.
The increase in the specific allowance resulted from a larger number of
classified commercial credits (i.e., those internally risk rated as special
mention, substandard or doubtful) at September 30, 2002. The amount of the
specific allowance, however, as a percent of outstanding loan balances subject
to such specific reserves declined significantly to 23.5% from 41.7% at December
31, 2002 as fewer credits were classified as doubtful. Credits classified as
doubtful have critical weaknesses that make full collection improbable.
Substandard credits have well-defined weaknesses which, if not corrected, could
jeopardize the full satisfaction of the debt. Special mention credits are
potentially weak, as the borrower has begun to exhibit deteriorating trends
that, if not corrected, could jeopardize repayment of the loan and result in
further downgrade.
The formula based allowance was $81.4 million at September 30, 2002, up from
$52.7 million at December 31, 2001. The increase in the formula based reserves
reflect adjustment of the loss rates for recent loan loss experience, higher
levels of classified and nonperforming loans, a significant migration of loans
to higher risk ratings as well as management's assessment of current economic
conditions within our local markets. The process of assigning projected loss
rates begins with the calculation of historical loss rates. These rates are then
adjusted as necessary for other quantitative and qualitative factors previously
described. Generally, Citizens has used a historical three-year rolling average
of net charge-offs as its base for developing loss factors for commercial
credits. In the third quarter, in order to emphasize more recent loss trends in
its methodology, management utilized an eighteen-month rolling average of net
charge-offs. The loss rates were more heavily weighted toward more current loss
experience as management views the most recent loss history as more
representative of the current economic conditions inherent in its loan
portfolio. The net effect of these changes on the formula based allowance was an
increase of $23.0 million for the third quarter 2002.
The unallocated allowance was $12.3 million and $18.1 million as of September
30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The decrease of $5.8 million from
year-end 2001, reflects management's view that the inherent losses related to
certain factors, such as general economic and business conditions, considered in
its evaluation of the unallocated allowance at September 30, 2002 have been
recognized in the allocated allowance through increased specific reserves or
higher loss factors.
Citizens maintains formal policies and procedures to monitor and control credit
risk. Citizens' loan portfolio has no significant concentrations in any one
industry nor any exposure to foreign loans. Citizens has generally not extended
credit to finance highly leveraged transactions nor does it intend to do so in
the future. Employment levels and other economic
18
conditions in Citizens' local markets may have a significant impact on the level
of credit losses. Management has identified and devotes appropriate attention to
credits that may not be performing as well as expected. Nonperforming loans are
further discussed in the section entitled "Nonperforming Assets."

Noninterest income totaled $19.7 million during the third quarter of 2002, down
$15.0 million or 43.1% over the same period of 2001. The decrease was primarily
due to the $11.0 million gain on the sale of NYCE stock during the third quarter
of 2001, a $2.3 million decline in bankcard fees due to the second quarter 2002
sale of the merchant services business and the $1.6 million of other charges
recorded in the third quarter of 2002. Trust fees declined $724,000, or 14.2%,
due to a 19.4% decline in trust assets under administration primarily from weak
equity markets. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $340,000, or 4.9%,
due to a decline in overdraft fees. Brokerage and investment fees increased
$307,000 or 15.1% over the same period of 2001 due to higher retail sales of
fixed annuities.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, noninterest income declined
$16,384,000 or 17.9% from the same period a year ago to $75,075,000. Higher
gains in 2001 from sales of assets accounted for $11.6 million of this decline.
Bankcard fees declined $3,673,000, or 40.7%, reflecting the second quarter 2002
sale of the merchant services business and the second quarter 2001 sale of the
Michigan credit card portfolio. Trust fees declined $1,600,000, or 10.1%, due
primarily to weak equity markets, and deposit service charges decreased
$1,077,000, or 5.2%, due to lower overdraft fees. Brokerage and investment fees
increased $1,087,000, or 18.3%, primarily from higher retail annuity sales while
mortgage and other loan income increased $430,000, or 4.6%, due primarily to
increases in origination and processing fees on loans sold to the secondary
market.

For the quarter, noninterest expense increased $15,275,000, or 23.8%, from the
third quarter 2001. Excluding the special charge of $13.8 million and other
charges of $7.1 million, operating expenses declined $5.6 million or 8.7% from
the same quarter a year ago. The $7.1 million in other charges included a $3.3
million prepayment penalty on FHLB advances, a $2.0 million contribution to
Citizens' charitable trust, a $979,000 valuation allowance on other real estate
owned, $406,000 in additional depreciation on equipment to be retired early and
$383,000 in losses and other items. Intangible asset amortization declined
$1,805,000, or 71.3%, from the same quarter of the prior year primarily due to
the adoption of SFAS No. 142 that eliminated goodwill amortization. Bankcard
expenses declined by $2,200,000, or 94.3%, as a result of the sale of the credit
card portfolio during the second quarter of 2001 and the second quarter 2002
sale of the merchant services business. In addition, operating expenses for data
processing, postage and delivery and for stationery and supplies declined due
primarily to improved pricing from new or renegotiated contracts.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, noninterest expense, excluding the
special charge of $13.8 million and $7.1 million of other charges, decreased
$9.2 million, or 4.8%, from the same period of the prior year. The decrease was
due primarily to lower intangible asset amortization, lower bankcard expenses
and decreased data processing costs, and was partially offset by higher
compensation expenses and professional services. Compensation expense increased
as lower salary costs were offset by higher pension and medical expenses.
Professional services increased due to higher consulting expenses, as Citizens
has engaged banking industry consultants to help analyze the profitability and
mix of its consumer, business banking and wealth management businesses. As a
result of this review which will continue throughout 2002, Citizens anticipates
future improvement in customer service levels, lower operating expenses,
increased revenue generation capacity, improved credit quality and enhanced risk
management techniques. However, in the near term this review will result in
higher operating expenses as actions are taken to implement these improvements.

INCOME TAXES
Income tax benefit was $27,950,000 in the third quarter of 2002 compared to an
income tax expense of $12,235,000 during the same period last year. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, the income tax benefit was $9,045,000 compared
to an income tax expense of $33,341,000 over the same period in 2001. The income
tax benefits in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 resulted
from the pre-tax operating losses caused by the higher loan loss provision, and
special and other charges recorded in the third quarter 2002.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Citizens had total assets of $7.614 billion as of September 30, 2002, a decrease
of $65 million, or 0.85%, from $7.679 billion as of December 31, 2001. The
decline in total assets was attributable to Citizens' continued balance sheet
restructuring initiatives begun in 2001 and to weak loan demand from a soft
economy. Citizens continues to sell current mortgage loan production into the
secondary market during this low interest rate environment to reduce interest
rate risk. Average earning assets comprised 94.0% of average total assets during
the first nine months of 2002 compared with 94.2% in the first nine months of
2001.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND MONEY MARKET INVESTMENTS
Total average investments, including money market investments, comprised 20.1%
of average earning assets during the first nine months of 2002, compared with
18.2% for the same period of 2001. For the first nine months of 2002, average
investment security balances were up $41.6 million over the same period in 2001.
As a result of weak loan demand, investment security balances increased as
Citizens expanded the investment portfolio through purchased securities and
retention of securitized mortgage loans. For the first nine months of 2002,
average money market investments were up $11.0 million from 2001 levels.
Citizens held higher levels of money market investments during the first nine
months of 2002 in anticipation of purchasing bank-owned life insurance. Citizens
completed a $78 million purchase of bank-owned life insurance in the third
quarter of 2002.
MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Average mortgage loans held for sale during the first nine months of 2002
comprised 1.5% of average earning assets compared with 1.2% during the first
nine months of 2001. This increase primarily reflects a higher volume of newly
originated mortgage loans available for sale during the first nine months of
2002. Due to the low interest rate environment and as part of Citizens' balance
sheet restructuring initiatives begun in the first quarter of 2001, Citizens is
selling most of its new residential mortgage loan production into the secondary
market. Mortgages held for sale are accounted for on the lower of cost or market
basis.
LOANS
Citizens extends credit primarily within the local markets of its banking
subsidiaries located in Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois. The loan
portfolio is widely diversified by borrower and industry groups with no foreign
loans or significant concentrations in any industry. Total loans at September
30, 2002 were down $248 million, or 4.3%, from year-end 2001. The decline in
total loans is mostly attributable to a $232 million decrease in the mortgage
loan portfolio. Mortgage loans declined as Citizens continued selling the
majority of its current mortgage loan production into the secondary market due
to the low interest rate environment. During the third quarter, Citizens
securitized $14.2 million of current fixed rate mortgage loan production and
$50.8 million of seasoned fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans and is
currently holding these securities within its investment portfolio. During the
second quarter Citizens securitized $63 million of seasoned adjustable rate
mortgage loans and subsequently sold these securities at a $2.4 million gain.
Commercial loan balances at September 30, 2002 declined $81.9 million from year
end 2001 due to weak demand caused by the sluggish economy. Consumer loans,
other than mortgage loans, increased $49.6 million from year end due to growth
in home equity lending. Average loans declined by $340 million, or 5.7%, for the
third quarter of 2002 as compared with the same period in 2001. Average real
estate mortgage loans declined $291 million from the third quarter of 2001 due
to the ongoing sale of new mortgage loan production and the securitization of a
portion of portfolio loans. Commercial and consumer loans decreased from third
quarter 2001 due to weakened loan demand and the sale of $30 million of credit
card assets in the second quarter of 2001.
At September 30, 2002 and 2001, $224.9 million and $299.3 million, respectively,
of residential real estate loans originated and subsequently sold in the
secondary market were being serviced by Citizens. Capitalized servicing rights
relating to the serviced loans totaled $0.8 million at September 30, 2002 and
$2.1 million at September 30, 2001.
NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonaccrual loans, restructured loans,
loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest, and other real
estate owned. Certain of these loans, as defined below, are considered to be
impaired. Under Citizens' credit policies and practices, a loan is placed on
nonaccrual status when there is doubt regarding collection of principal or
interest, or when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and the loan
is not well secured and in the process of collection. Interest accrued but not
collected is reversed and charged against income when the loan is placed on
21
nonaccrual status. A loan is considered impaired when management determines it
is probable that less than all the principal and interest due under the
contractual terms of the loans will be collected. In most instances, impairment
is measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impairment may
also be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. Citizens maintains a valuation
allowance for impaired loans. Interest income on impaired nonaccrual loans is
recognized on a cash basis. Interest income on all other impaired loans is
recorded on an accrual basis.
Certain of Citizens' nonperforming loans included in the following table are
considered to be impaired. Citizens measures impairment on all large balance
nonaccrual commercial and commercial real estate loans. Certain large balance
accruing loans rated substandard or worse are also measured for impairment. In
most instances, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the underlying
collateral. Impairment losses are included in the provision for loan losses. The
policy does not apply to large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans that
are collectively evaluated for impairment, except for those loans restructured
under a troubled debt restructuring. Loans collectively evaluated for impairment
include certain smaller balance commercial loans, consumer loans, residential
real estate loans, and credit card loans, and are not included in the impaired
loan analysis.
The following table provides a summary analysis of impaired loans as of
September 30, 2002 and 2001.

The average recorded investment in impaired loans was $94.1 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 2002 and $110.0 million for the same quarter last
year. For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, Citizens recognized interest
income of $0.4 million on impaired loans with cash collected on nonaccrual
impaired loans totaling $3.0 million, all of which was applied to principal. For
the same quarter last year, Citizens recognized interest income of approximately
$1.2 million on impaired loans with cash collected on nonaccrual impaired loans
of $1.5 million, all of which was applied to principal.
The table below provides a summary of nonperforming assets as of September 30,
2002, December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001. Total nonperforming assets
amounted to $108.0 million as of September 30, 2002 compared with $79.2 million
as of December 31, 2001 and $79.0 million as of September 30, 2001. Based on
current economic conditions and absent improvement during the fourth quarter,
management expects nonperforming loans to continue at higher than historical
levels throughout the remainder of 2002, which may also result in a higher loan
loss provision in the same period compared to the prior year.
In addition to nonperforming loans, management identifies and closely monitors
other credits that are current in terms of principal and interest payments but,
in management's opinion, may deteriorate in quality if economic conditions
further deteriorate. As of September 30, 2002, such credits amounted to $78.5
million or 1.4% of total loans, compared with $78.9 million or 1.3% at December
31, 2001 and $77.6 million, or 1.3%, of total loans as of September 30, 2001.
These loans are primarily commercial and commercial real estate loans made in
the normal course of business and do not represent a concentration in any one
industry.

DEPOSITS
Total deposits decreased $61 million to $5.904 billion at September 30, 2002
from $5.965 billion at year-end 2001. Average deposits declined $109.1 million,
or 1.9%, in the first nine months of 2002 over the same period in 2001. The
decline in deposits at September 30, 2002 from December 31, 2001 and on average
during the first nine months of 2002 from the same period of 2001 occurred
primarily in brokered deposits and large denomination time deposits as Citizens
was less aggressive in pricing such deposits due to decreased funding
requirements. Citizens gathers deposits primarily in its local markets and
historically has not relied on brokered funds to sustain liquidity. At September
30, 2002 Citizens had approximately $134 million in brokered deposits as an
alternative source of funding, down from $171 million at December 31, 2001.
Citizens will continue to evaluate the use of alternative funding sources such
as brokered deposits as funding needs change.
SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT
On average, total short-term borrowings decreased $378.8 million, or 62.0%, to
$231.8 million during the first nine months of 2002 from $610.6 million during
the same period of 2001. The decrease primarily reflects reduced reliance on
short-term borrowings as a funding source due to lower earning asset levels.
Long-term debt accounted for $624.3 million, or 10.6%, of average
interest-bearing funds for the first nine months of 2002, compared with $581.6
million or 9.2% of average interest-bearing funds for the same period in 2001.
At September 30, 2002, $529.3 million of the long-term debt consists of
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank with $246.0 million maturing at
different intervals over the next five years and the remaining maturing over the
next 19 years. These borrowings are primarily utilized to fund Citizens' loan
and investment portfolios. Borrowed funds are expected to remain an important,
reliable and cost-effective funding vehicle for Citizens and its subsidiary
banks.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Citizens continues to maintain a well capitalized position which supports its
current needs and provides a foundation to support further expansion. At
September 30, 2002, shareholders' equity was $668.3 million compared with $697.5
million at December 31, 2001 and $721.2 million as of September 30, 2001. Book
value per common share at September 30, 2002, December 31, 2001 and September
30, 2001 was $14.97, $15.46 and $15.77, respectively.
23
Citizens' capital ratios as of September 30, 2002, December 31, 2001 and
September 30, 2001 are presented below.

Citizens has maintained regulatory capital ratios above the "well-capitalized"
standards and all bank subsidiaries of Citizens as of September 30, 2002 have a
well-capitalized designation.
In October 2001, Citizens' board of directors approved a plan to repurchase up
to 3,000,000 shares of Citizens common stock from time to time in the market. At
September 30, 2002, 998,400 shares of common stock had been repurchased under
this plan at an average price of $32.61. Citizens' purchase of any of its shares
is subject to limitations that may be imposed by applicable securities laws and
regulations and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The timing of the
purchases and the number of shares to be bought at any one time depend on market
conditions and Citizens' capital requirements. There can be no assurance that
Citizens will repurchase the remaining shares authorized to be repurchased, or
that any additional repurchases will be authorized by Citizens' board of
directors.
Citizens declared cash dividends of $0.285 per share in the third quarter of
2002, an increase of 3.6% over the $0.275 per share dividend declared during the
third period of 2001.
LIQUIDITY AND DEBT CAPACITY
Citizens monitors its liquidity position to ensure that funds are available at a
reasonable cost to meet financial commitments, to finance business expansion and
to take advantage of unforeseen opportunities. Citizens' subsidiary banks derive
liquidity primarily through core deposit growth, maturity of money market
investments, and maturity and sale of investment securities and loans.
Additionally, Citizens' subsidiary banks have access to market borrowing sources
on an unsecured, as well as a collateralized, basis for both short-term and
long-term purposes including, but not limited to, the Federal Reserve and
Federal Home Loan Banks where the subsidiary banks are members. Another source
of liquidity is the ability of the parent company to borrow funds on both a
short-term and long-term basis. The parent company has established borrowing
facilities with a group of unaffiliated banks and has used portions of this
revolving credit agreement for various corporate purposes. As of September 30,
2002, the parent company had $75 million available under the credit agreement,
of which $30 million was outstanding. The interest rate on the $30 million
outstanding at September 30, 2002 reprices daily and is based on the federal
funds rate plus 75 basis points.
Management believes that the key to successful balance sheet liquidity is the
establishment and subsequent utilization of sufficient sources of liquidity.
Proactive management of Citizens' liquidity capacity and generation has
increased sources of funds and borrowing capacities enabling Citizens and its
subsidiary banks to operate effectively, safely and with improved profitability.
At September 30, 2002, Citizens had sufficient liquidity to meet presently known
short- and long-term cash flow requirements arising from ongoing business
transactions.
INTEREST RATE RISK
Interest rate risk generally arises when the maturity or repricing structure of
Citizens' assets and liabilities differs significantly. Asset/liability
management, which among other things addresses such risk, is the process of
developing, testing and implementing strategies that seek to maximize net
interest income, maintain sufficient liquidity and minimize exposure to
significant changes in interest rates. This process includes monitoring
contractual and expected repricing of assets and liabilities as well as
forecasting earnings under different interest rate scenarios and balance sheet
structures. Generally, management seeks a structure that insulates net interest
income from large swings attributable to changes in market interest rates.
Citizens' static interest rate sensitivity ("GAP") as of September 30, 2002 and
2001 is illustrated in the following table.

(1) Incorporates prepayment projections for certain assets which may shorten the
time frame for repricing or maturity compared to contractual runoff.
(2) Includes loans held for sale.
(3) Includes interest bearing savings and demand deposits of $789 million and
$665 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively, in the less than one year
category, and $1.745 billion and $1.565 billion, respectively in the over
one year category, based on historical trends for these noncontractual
maturity deposit types, which reflects industry standards.
(4) GAP is the excess of rate sensitive assets (liabilities).
As shown, Citizens' interest rate risk position at September 30, 2002 was asset
sensitive in the less than one year time frame with rate sensitive assets
exceeding rate sensitive liabilities by $786.5 million. Citizens' interest rate
risk position at September 30, 2001 was liability sensitive in the less than
one-year time frame with rate sensitive liabilities exceeding rate sensitive
assets by $401.7 million. Application of GAP theory would suggest that in an
asset sensitive position Citizens' net interest income could rise if interest
rates rise; i.e., liabilities are likely to reprice slower than assets,
resulting in an increase in net income in a rising rate environment. Conversely,
net income could decrease in a falling rate environment with an asset sensitive
position. Net interest income is not only affected by the level and direction of
interest rates, but also by the shape of the yield curve, relationships between
interest sensitive instruments and key driver rates, as well as balance sheet
growth and the timing of changes in these variables.
25
Management is continually reviewing its interest rate risk position and
modifying its strategies based on projections to minimize the impact of future
interest rate changes. While traditional GAP analysis does not always
incorporate adjustments for the magnitude or timing of non-contractual
repricing, the table above does incorporate appropriate adjustments as indicated
in footnotes 1 and 3 to the table. Because of these and other inherent
limitations of any GAP analysis, management utilizes net interest income
simulation modeling as its primary tool to evaluate the impact of changes in
interest rates and balance sheet strategies. Management uses these simulations
to develop strategies that can limit interest rate risk and provide liquidity to
meet client loan demand and deposit preferences. Quarterly exercises are
conducted to measure net interest income sensitivity. Simulations were done
after September 30, 2002 assuming a static balance sheet and flat interest rates
as the base case. Compared to this base case, net interest income over the next
twelve months should remain stable if interest rates rise within likely ranges,
but may decline if interest rates decrease, given the low level of interest
rates currently.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The foregoing disclosure contains "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
both as amended, with respect to expectations for future periods. These
forward-looking statements represent Citizens' outlook only as of the date of
this report. While Citizens believes that its forward-looking statements are
reasonable, actual results could differ materially since the statements are
based on Citizens' current expectations, which are subject to risks and
uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties are detailed from time to time in
reports filed by Citizens with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including
8-K, 10-Q and 10-K, and include, among others, unanticipated changes in the
competitive environment, relationships with third party vendors and clients, the
effect of terrorist attacks and potential attacks and certain other factors
discussed in this report.
Other factors not currently anticipated by management may also materially and
adversely affect Citizens' results of operations. Citizens does not undertake,
and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter its forward-looking
statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
except as required by applicable law.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There has been no material change in the information concerning quantitative and
qualitative disclosures about market risk contained in Item 7A of Citizens' 2001
Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as set forth in Item 2. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -
Interest rate Risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, Citizens carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management,
including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of Citizens' disclosure controls and
procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based
upon that evaluation, Citizens' Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that Citizens' disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to cause the material information required to be disclosed by Citizens
in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the Commission's rules and forms. There have been no significant
changes in Citizens' internal controls or in other factors which could
significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date Citizens carried
out its evaluation.
