                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT





The Board of Directors
The CIVISTA Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of The
CIVISTA Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1994 and 1993, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30,
1994.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Corporation's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatements.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The CIVISTA
Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1994 and 1993, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended September 30, 1994 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1(i) to the consolidated financial statements, the
Corporation adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes, on October 1, 1993.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                      
                      SEPTEMBER 30, 1994, 1993 AND 1992



1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       The following is a description of the more significant accounting and
       reporting policies of The CIVISTA Corporation (CIVISTA) and its
       subsidiaries which are followed in preparing and presenting its
       consolidated financial statements.  CIVISTA's activities are considered
       to be a single industry segment for financial reporting purposes.

       A.     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

              The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
              CIVISTA and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Citizens Savings Bank
              of Canton (Citizens Savings Bank), Citizens Savings Corporation
              (CSC), The CASNET Group, Inc. (CASNET), Crest Investments, Inc.,
              and Citizens Investment Corporation.  All significant
              intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
              consolidation.

       B.     REVENUE RECOGNITION

              Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis as earned
              based on rates applied to principal amounts outstanding.

       C.     CASH EQUIVALENTS

              Cash equivalents include short-term investments in amounts due
              from banks, interest bearing deposits and federal funds sold with
              original maturity of three months or less.  Generally, federal
              funds sold are purchased and sold for one-day periods.

       D.     PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

              Provisions for losses on loans are charged to earnings when it is
              determined that the investment in such assets is greater than the
              estimated net realizable value.  Additionally, accrual of
              interest on potential problem loans is excluded from income (by
              an offsetting increase in a specific allowance for loss) when, in
              the opinion of management, such suspension is warranted.  In
              addition to providing reserves on specific loans, CIVISTA
              establishes general reserves for losses based upon the overall
              portfolio composition and general market conditions.  While
              management uses the best available information to make these
              evaluations, future adjustments to the reserves may be necessary
              if economic circumstances differ substantially from the
              information and assumptions used.

       E.     LOAN ORIGINATION FEES

              Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are
              deferred and amortized, generally, over the contractual life of
              the related loan using a level yield method.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED



       F.     MORTGAGE LOANS AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

              Mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities held for investment
              are carried at cost and the related premium or discount is
              amortized using the level yield method over the estimated
              remaining lives of the underlying investments.  These investments
              are carried at cost because of management's intention and
              CIVISTA's ability to hold them to maturity.

              Mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities available for sale
              are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the
              aggregate.  CIVISTA classifies as available for sale, certain
              mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities which it expects to
              hold for indefinite periods of time.  Such assets may be sold in
              response to changes in interest rates.  Gains or losses on the
              sales of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities are
              recognized on realization.

      G.      OFFICE PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT AND REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT 
              PROPERTY

              Office properties and equipment are depreciated using a
              straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
              related assets.  Estimated lives for buildings are 50 years and
              furniture and equipment 3-10 years.  Leasehold improvements are
              amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the
              asset or the term of the lease.

              Real estate investment property is depreciated generally using a
              straight-line method over the estimated useful lives.  Estimated
              lives for buildings are 25-55 years and furniture and fixtures
              3-20 years.

              Maintenance and repairs are charged to appropriate expense
              accounts in the year incurred.

       H.     INVESTMENT SECURITIES

              Investment securities are carried at cost, adjusted for
              amortization of premium.  Investment securities are carried at
              cost because of management's intention and CIVISTA's ability to
              hold them to maturity.  Marketable equity securities are carried
              at the lower of cost or market.  Gains or losses on the sales of
              securities are recognized on realization.

       I.     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

              CIVISTA adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
              109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" on October 1, 1993.  This
              statement prescribes the asset and liability method of accounting
              for income taxes.  Deferred income taxes are recognized for the
              tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted
              statutory tax rates to differences between the financial
              statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets
              and liabilities.  The effect of a change in tax rates is
              recognized in income in the period of the enactment date.  The
              impact of the adoption of this method for income taxes was
              insignificant.

              Prior to fiscal 1994, deferred income taxes were provided for
              income and expense items which were reported for tax purposes in
              different years than for financial statement purposes.

       J.     REAL ESTATE ACQUIRED IN SETTLEMENT OF LOANS

              Real estate acquired through foreclosure is initially recorded at
              the lower of cost or fair value.  Subsequent to acquisition, real
              estate acquired through foreclosure is carried at the lower of
              cost or fair value minus estimated costs to sell.  Declines in
              value are reserved through the allowance disclosed in note 7 and
              subsequently charged off if appropriate.  Costs relating to
              development and improvement are capitalized up to fair value
              minus estimated costs to sell.

       K.     REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT ASSETS

              Real  estate development assets are held for sale and are carried
              at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  Costs relating to
              development and improvement are capitalized up to net realizable
              value.

       L.     PENSION PLAN

              CIVISTA's policy is to fund pension costs in accordance with the
              Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

       M.     POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE

              In 1992, CIVISTA adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
              Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
              Benefits Other Than Pensions" with immediate recognition of the
              transition obligation.  This change did not have a material
              impact on net earnings and net earnings per share.

       N.     NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

              Net earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number
              of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during
              each year, adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split of
              November 22, 1993.  The weighted average number of common shares
              and common share equivalents outstanding during 1994, 1993 and
              1992 was 3,663,862, 3,594,718 and 3,529,640, respectively.

       O.     RECLASSIFICATIONS

              Certain previously reported financial statement amounts have been
              reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation.

2.     PENDING MERGER

       On August 10, 1994, CIVISTA entered into an Agreement of Affiliation and
       Plan of Merger with First Bancorporation of Ohio (FBOH).  Pursuant of
       this agreement, CIVISTA will be merged into FBOH and the merger will be
       accounted for as a pooling of interests.  It is contemplated that
       Citizens Savings Bank will merge with The First National Bank in
       Massillon, a Stark County subsidiary of FBOH.  Under the terms of the
       agreement, FBOH will exchange 1.723 shares of its common stock for each
       outstanding CIVISTA share.  CIVISTA has granted FBOH an option to
       acquire 350,655 shares of CIVISTA preferred stock at $33.50 per share,
       which option becomes exercisable upon the occurrence of specified events
       not consistent with the merger being consummated.  Subject to regulatory
       approval, the merger is expected to be completed during the first
       calendar quarter of 1995.

       CIVISTA had unused consumer home equity and credit card lines of credit
       of $20,812,000 and $10,210,000, respectively, at September 30, 1994.
       CIVISTA extends home equity and credit card lines of credit in the
       normal course of business to meet the financing needs of customers.
       While CIVISTA expects a significant portion of these lines of credit to
       remain undrawn, the exposure to credit loss in the event of
       nonperformance by the borrower is represented by the amount drawn down.
       The credit policies and underwriting guidelines used in issuing lines of
       credit are the same as for other loans receivable.

14.    FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

       As discussed in Note 1, CIVISTA adopted SFAS No. 109 as of October 1,
       1993 on a prospective basis, resulting in no material cumulative
       adjustment to current net income or stockholders' equity.  CIVISTA files
       a consolidated federal income tax return with its subsidiaries.
       Citizens Savings Bank has qualified under provisions of the Internal
       Revenue Code that permit it to deduct from taxable income an allowance
       for bad debts based on experience or a percentage of taxable income
       before such deduction.  The differences between the statutory tax rates
       and the effective tax rates used in determining CIVISTA's tax provision

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED


       The net deferred tax asset at October 1, 1993, the date of
       implementation of SFAS No. 109, was $656,000.  The difference between
       this balance and the $693,000 balance at year end results in the
       deferred benefit of $37,000.  Prior year deferred tax benefits were
       calculated using the deferred income method, and have not been restated.

       Deferred federal income tax benefit resulted from timing differences in
       the recognition of income and expense for tax and financial statement
       purposes.  The source of these differences and the tax effect of each
       are as follows:

       As required by SFAS No. 109, CIVISTA has determined that it is not
       required to establish a valuation reserve for the deferred tax asset
       since it is "more likely than not" that the deferred tax of $693,000
       will be principally realized through future reversals of existing
       taxable temporary differences, future taxable income, and tax planning
       strategies.  CIVISTA's conclusion that it is "more likely than not" that
       the deferred tax asset will be realized is based on a history of growth
       in earnings and the prospects for continued growth including an analysis
       of potential uncertainties that may affect future operating results.
       CIVISTA will continue to review the tax criteria related to the
       recognition of deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.

15.    SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

       The number of common shares and treasury shares reflect the two-for-one
       stock split of November 22, 1993.

       OTS regulations require savings institutions to maintain certain minimum
       levels of regulatory capital.  An institution that fails to comply with
       its regulatory capital requirements must obtain OTS approval of a
       capital plan and can be subject to a capital directive and certain
       restrictions on its operations.  At September 30, 1994, the minimum
       regulatory capital regulations require institutions to have tangible
       capital equal to 1.5 percent of adjusted total assets, a 3 percent
       leverage capital ratio and an 8 percent risk-based capital ratio.

       The 8 percent risk-based regulatory capital requirement is based solely
       on the credit risk weighting of the institution's assets.  The OTS has
       issued a final regulation adding an interest rate risk component to the
       risk-based regulatory capital requirement.  This regulation affects
       capital calculations beginning March 31, 1995.

       On December 19, 1992, the prompt corrective action regulations of the
       Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act became effective.
       These regulations define specific capital categories based on an
       institution's capital ratios.  The capital categories are "well
       capitalized", "adequately capitalized", "undercapitalized",
       "significantly undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized".
       Institutions categorized as "undercapitalized" or worse are subject to
       certain restrictions, including the requirement to file a capital plan
       with the OTS, prohibitions on the payment of dividends and management
       fees, restrictions on executive compensation and increased supervisory
       monitoring, among other things.  Other restrictions may be imposed on
       the institution either by the OTS or the FDIC, including requirements to
       raise additional capital, sell assets or sell the entire institution.
       Once an institution becomes "critically undercapitalized" it is
       generally placed in receivership or conservatorship within 90 days.

       To be considered "well capitalized", an institution must generally have
       a leverage ratio of at least 5 percent, a Tier 1 risk-based capital
       ratio of at least 6 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio of at
       least 10 percent.

       At September 30, 1994, Citizens Savings Bank exceeded all regulatory
       capital requirements.

       For federal income tax purposes, Citizens Savings Bank is allowed a bad
       debt deduction on taxable income and is subject to certain limitations
       based on aggregate loans and savings deposits at the end of the year.
       Retained earnings at September 30, 1994 and 1993 include approximately
       $31,158,000 which represents allocations of earnings for bad debt
       deductions for tax purposes only.  If the amounts which qualify as
       deductions for federal income tax purposes are later used for purposes
       other than to absorb loan losses, including distributions in
       liquidation, they will be subject to federal income tax at the then
       current corporate tax rate.

16.    EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

       A defined benefit pension plan covers substantially all employees.  In
       general, benefits are based on years of service and the employee's
       compensation.

       CIVISTA also maintains a supplemental employee retirement plan in order
       to provide certain officers with retirement benefits which had
       previously been provided through the qualified pension plan's
       integration with Social Security.  As a result of changes in the
       Internal Revenue Code, the plan's integration with Social Security was
       eliminated.  In general, benefits are based on years of service and the
       employee's compensation.

       The following table sets forth the funded status of these plans as of
       July 31, 1994 and 1993 and the amounts recognized in the consolidated
       financial statements.  There are no material differences in the
       following data as a result of using a July 31 instead of a September 30
       measurement date.

       In addition to pension benefits, CIVISTA provides certain health care

       and elect to continue health care coverage.  CIVISTA will contribute the
       lesser of 75% of the monthly premiums or certain dollar caps based on
       whether the participants are eligible for Medicare.  CIVISTA's
       postretirement health care plan is an unfunded plan.

       In determining these amounts, CIVISTA assumed in 1994 that future
       increases in health care cost trend rates would be 11.5% for the next
       several years and then decline gradually to 5.5% in 2000.  In 1993,
       CIVISTA assumed that future increases in health care cost trend rates
       would be 11.5% for the next several years and then decline gradually to
       5.5% in 2000.  CIVISTA used 7.00% and 6.00% in 1994 and 1993,
       respectively as the discount rates for valuing these future payments.

       Based on the dollar caps which CIVISTA has in the plan, a one percentage
       point increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate would not
       increase the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of
       net periodic postretirement health care benefits cost.

17.    STOCK OPTION PLAN

       In January 1993, shareholders approved the 1993 CIVISTA Corporation
       Stock Option Plan with 320,000 common shares authorized for grants of
       options and stock appreciation rights to full-time employees at the
       discretion of the Stock Option Committee of the Board.  The option
       prices are fixed by the Stock Option Committee of the Board at not less
       than fair market value at the time the option is granted and no option
       has a life of more than ten years.  Options are exercisable upon grant.
       The 1993 Plan superceded the previously existing stock option plan.
       Options granted under such previous plan remain outstanding and have
       terms identical to the 1993 Plan.

18.    PARENT COMPANY

       Citizens Savings Bank's ability to pay future cash dividends to CIVISTA
       is limited by regulations and a dividend agreement with the Office of
       Thrift Supervision.  By regulation, as long as Citizens Savings Bank has
       capital immediately prior to, and on a pro forma basis after giving
       effect to, a proposed dividend that is equal to or greater than the
       amount of its fully phased-in (July 1, 1996) capital requirement,
       Citizens Savings Bank can dividend 100 percent of its net income during
       a calendar year plus one-half of its surplus capital at the beginning of
       the calendar year.  Under its dividend agreement, as long as Citizens
       Savings Bank exceeds its fully phased-in capital requirement, Citizens
       Savings Bank can dividend 100 percent of its net income for the prior
       eight quarters less cumulative dividends paid for such prior eight
       quarters.

       Condensed financial information of CIVISTA (parent company only) is as 
       follows:

20.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

       Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, "Disclosures
       about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair
       value information about financial instruments for which it is
       practicable to estimate that value.  Where quoted market prices are not
       available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or
       other valuation techniques.  These techniques are significantly affected
       by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of
       future cash flows.  As a result, the derived fair value estimates cannot
       be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many
       cases, could not be realized in a current market exchange.  SFAS No. 107
       excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments
       from its disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value
       amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of CIVISTA.

       CASH INCLUDING SHORT-TERM CASH INVESTMENTS.  For cash and short-term
       cash investments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair
       value.

       INVESTMENT AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES.  Fair values for investment
       and mortgage-backed securities are based on quoted market prices.

       MORTGAGE AND OTHER LOANS.  For certain homogeneous categories of loans,
       such as some residential mortgages, and consumer loans, fair value is
       estimated using the quoted market prices for securities backed by
       similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics.  The
       fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the
       future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would
       be made to borrowers with similar credit rating and the same remaining
       maturities.

       FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK.  The fair value is estimated to be the
       carrying value which is par.  All transactions in the capital stock of
       the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati are executed at par.

       DEPOSITS.  The fair value of transaction and savings deposits is the
       amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair value of
       certificates of deposit is estimated using rates currently offered for
       deposits of similar remaining maturities.

       NOTES PAYABLE TO FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK AND MORTGAGE LOANS PAYABLE.
       Rates currently available to CIVISTA for debt with similar terms and
       remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.
