NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Citizens
Bancshares, Inc., ("Bancshares") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The
Citizens Banking Company ("Citizens"), Freedom Financial Life Insurance Company
("Insurance Company"), Freedom Express, Inc. and First National Bank of Chester
("FNB"). All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. Bancshares' consolidated financial statements have been restated
for prior periods due to the December 31, 1995 merger of Western Reserve Bank
of Ohio, Lowellville, Ohio, ("Western Reserve") into Citizens. The transaction
resulted in the exchange of 2.625 common shares of Bancshares for each of
Western Reserve's 160,000 outstanding shares of common stock, with cash paid in
lieu of fractional shares. The transaction was accounted for as a pooling of
interests.
These interim consolidated financial statements are prepared without audit and
reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to
present fairly the consolidated financial position of Bancshares at June 30,
1996 and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The consolidated
financial statements do not purport to contain all the necessary financial
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles that might
otherwise be necessary in the circumstances and should be read in conjunction
with the 1995 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Bancshares
included in its Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31,
1995.
The provision for income taxes is based upon the effective tax rate expected to
be applicable for the entire year.
For the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, Bancshares paid interest in
the amount of $14,263,000 and $13,701,000 respectively, and taxes in the amount
of $3,984,000 and $2,007,000, respectively.
Bancshares' non-cash transactions resulting from transfers from loans to other
real estate owned were $12,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
$93,000 for the comparable period in 1995.
Earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number
of shares outstanding after considering the Bancshares common shares issued in
the merger discussed above. The weighted average number of shares used in the
computation for 1996 was 5,390,195 after adjusting for new Employee Stock
Option Plan unallocated shares and options and 5,390,622 for 1995.
Bancshares' Board of Directors declared a three-for-two stock split payable
January 12, 1996 to shareholders of record December 31, 1995. All share and per
share data have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split and the
Western Reserve merger accounted for as a pooling of interests.
In 1996, Bancshares is also adopting SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." SFAS No. 123 encourages, but does not require, use of a fair
value based method to account for plans such as Bancshares' stock option plan.
If the fair value accounting treatment encouraged by SFAS No. 123 is not
adopted, entities must disclose the pro forma effect on net income and earnings
per share had such accounting treatment been adopted. Bancshares elected to
disclose the pro forma effect of the fair value accounting for stock options
granted in 1995 and thereafter, and will include appropriate disclosures in the
1996 annual financial statements.

NOTE 5 - EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN AND RELATED OBLIGATION
Bancshares sponsors an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") for substantially
all employees. Corporate contributions to the plan are discretionary and are
determined by the Board of Directors on an annual basis. The ESOP has a
$500,000 loan commitment from a financial institution for the purpose of
purchasing additional shares. Bancshares guarantees payment of the portion of
the loan up to the book value of the common shares. Principal is payable in
eight annual installments on each loan advance and interest is payable
quarterly. The loans are collateralized by the shares of Bancshares common
shares that the proceeds were used to purchase. Shares are released from
collateral and allocated to active employees as principal is repaid. Shares
acquired prior to January 1, 1993 (old shares) are considered outstanding for
computing earnings per share and dividends on those shares are recorded as a
reduction of retained earnings. The annual expense recorded for old shares
consists of the Corporation's contribution and related expenses.
The ESOP shares were as follows:

NOTE 6 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Bancshares, through its subsidiary banks, grants residential, consumer and
commercial loans to customers located primarily in the eastern Ohio counties of
Columbiana, Jefferson, Stark, Mahoning and Carroll and in the West Virginia
county of Hancock.
Real estate mortgage loans, including construction loans and loans held for
sale, totaled $254,698,000 of loans at June 30, 1996, and are secured primarily
by 1 - 4 family residences. Commercial real estate loans classified under the
commercial, financial and agricultural line, comprised 18.31% of loans at June
30, 1996, and represent borrowings secured by commercial buildings and real
estate primarily in the Citizens and FNB market areas.
NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Citizens and FNB are parties to financial instruments which involve off-balance
sheet risk. These instruments are entered into in the normal course of business
to meet the financing needs of their customers. These financial instruments
include commitments to make loans. There were $66,917,000 in such commitments
at June 30, 1996.
The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party
to the financial instrument for commitments to make loans and lines and letters
of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.
Citizens and FNB follow the same credit policy to make such commitments as is
followed for those loans recorded in the financial statements. In management's
opinion, these commitments represent normal banking transactions and no
material losses are expected to result therefrom. Collateral obtained upon
exercise of the commitments is determined using management's credit evaluation
of the borrower and may include real estate and/or business assets.
The subsidiary banks of Bancshares are involved in various legal actions
arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the
outcome of these matters will not have a material effect on Bancshares.
Bancshares' subsidiary banks were required to have approximately $7,173,000 of
cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank to meet regulatory
reserve requirements at June 30, 1996. These balances do not earn interest.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 9 - ACQUISITIONS
On December 31, 1995, Western Reserve Bank of Ohio, Lowellville, Ohio became
affiliated with Bancshares. The transaction resulted in the exchange of 2.625
of Bancshares common shares for each of Western Reserve's 160,000 shares of
common stock outstanding, other than fractional shares which were paid in cash.
On April 4, 1996, Bancshares, Citizens, and The Navarre Deposit Bank Company
("Navarre") entered into a plan and agreement of merger which provides for
Bancshares to issue common stock of Bancshares having an aggregate value of
$15,646,000, which equals $55.8786 for each of the 280,000 outstanding common
shares of Navarre. The transaction is structured as a tax-free exchange of
stock and will be accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting. The exchange ratio at which Navarre common stock will be exchanged
for Bancshares common shares will be based on the average of the Bancshares'
closing prices for the twenty trading days immediately preceding the tenth
trading day prior to the consummation of the merger as quoted on the Nasdaq
National Market. In no event will the exchange ratio be greater than 2.10 or
less than 1.70. The Bancshares common shares to be issued to the Navarre
shareholders will be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The merger is expected to be consummated during the fourth quarter 1996 and is
subject to approvals by various regulatory authorities and by the shareholders
of Navarre.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The purpose of this discussion is to focus on information concerning the
consolidated financial condition of Bancshares at June 30, 1996, compared to
December 31, 1995, and the results of operations for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995, which is not
otherwise apparent from the financial statements. This discussion should be
read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and the
footnotes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996, was $7,142,000, compared to
$5,908,000 for the same period in 1995. Bancshares' 20.9% increase in net
income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in
1995, was due primarily to a 8.3% increase in net interest income, a 26.1%
decrease in the provision for loan losses and a .9% decrease in other expense.
Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $33,884,000 and
increased $1,938,000 or 6.1% compared to the same six month period in 1995.
Interest income on loans for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1996
included nonrecurring pretax income of $650,000 which was the amount of
purchased loan discount recognized on a loan which paid off early.
The provision for loan losses of $790,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1996 decreased $279,000 from the comparable period in 1995, primarily as a
result of the lower level of nonperforming loans.
Other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $10,361,000 and
decreased $95,000 or .9% from the comparable period in 1995. During the second
quarter of 1996, Bancshares incurred $400,000 merger, integration and
restructuring expenses. These costs are primarily related to the planned
acquisition of Navarre and represent merger costs, personnel related costs and
costs related to the write-off of certain fixed assets. Without the
restructuring charges, other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996
were $9,961,000 and decreased $495,000 or 4.7%. The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) implemented a plan that reduced deposit insurance for most
banks, including Citizens and FNB. This plan took effect in the second quarter
of 1995 and significantly reduced FDIC premiums paid by Citizens and FNB.
Banchshares' FDIC premiums for the six months ended June 30, 1996 totalled
$153,000, a decrease of $468,000 from the $621,000 incurred for the comparable
period in 1995.
Return on average shareholders' equity for the first six months of 1996 was
19.18% as compared to 18.43% for the same period in 1995. Return on average
assets for the first six months of 1996 increased to 1.80% as compared to 1.53%
for the same period in 1995. Earnings per share for the six months ended June
30, 1996 were $1.32 as compared to $1.09 or the same period in June 30, 1995,
representing an increase of 21.1%.
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $3,775,000 compared to
$2,978,000 for the same period in 1995. Bancshares' 26.8% increase in net
income for the second quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995, was
primarily due to a 12.9% increase in net interest income and a 18.7% reduction
in provision for loan losses. Earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30,
1996 were $.70, representing an increase of 27.3% compared to $.55 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1995.
The provision for loan losses of $436,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996
decreased $100,000 from the comparable period in 1995, primarily as a result of
a positive trend in the level of nonperforming loans. At June 30, 1996
nonperforming loans were .56% of total loans as compared to .92% at June 30,
1995. Additionally, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total
loans increased at June 30, 1996 to 2.01% from 1.95% at December 31, 1995.

The net interest margin was calculated without annualizing the $650,000
discount recognized with the receipt of a prepayment of a loan that was
previously purchased at a discount. Average gross earning assets increased
$4,636,000 during the first half of 1996, while the average rate earned on
these assets increased from 8.59% at December 31, 1995 to 8.80% at June 30,
1996.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets of $840,941,000 at June 30, 1996 increased $26,853,000 or 3.3%
compared to year-end 1995. Total deposits and repurchase agreements at June 30,
1996 of $635,155,000 and $32,361,000, increased $6,643,000, and $12,305,000,
respectively from December 31, 1995. These lower cost sources of funds were
used to purchase investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale
and were invested in federal funds sold due to the nature of the yield curve.
Net loans totaled $517,733,000 at June 30, 1996, representing a decrease of
$640,000 or .1% since year-end 1995.
In May 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued its Statement on
Financial Accounting Standards No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights," which requires companies that engage in mortgage banking activities to
recognize, as separate assets, rights to service mortgage loans for others.
This Statement was adopted by Bancshares in 1996, and was applied prospectively
to rights arising from loans sold by Bancshares after adoption of the
Statement. The impact of this pronouncement on Bancshares' financial
statements is not material for any period presented.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (CONTINUED).
NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were .56% at June 30, 1996
as compared to .52% at December 31, 1995. The allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of total loans increased at June 30, 1996 to 2.01% from 1.95% at
December 31, 1995. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of the allowance for
loan losses increased to 27.77% at June 30, 1996, from 26.77% at December 31,
1995.
Other real estate totaled $237,000 at June 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995.
Bancshares continues to analyze the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses
as a percentage of total loans on a quarterly basis. Annualized net charge-offs
constituted .17% of average loans in the first two quarters of 1996 as compared
to .30% for the year ended December 31, 1995. This combined with the improved
levels of nonperforming loans and the stabilization of loan growth during 1996,
contributed to the decision to reduce the provision for loan losses.
LIQUIDITY
Bancshares' liquidity position remained strong during the second quarter of
1996. Core deposits, representing Bancshares' largest most stable and generally
least costly source of funds, totaled $588,382,000 and were 111.4% of total
loans at June 30, 1996. The core deposit levels at June 30, 1996 approximated
the levels at year-end 1995.
Cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing time deposits and securities
available for sale are Bancshares' most liquid assets. At June 30, 1996, these
assets totaled $248,527,000, an increase of $28,294,000 or 12.8% from December
31, 1995.
Management believes that Bancshares' liquidity position is strong based on its
high level of cash, cash equivalents, core deposits, the stability of its other
funding sources and its capital base.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Shareholders' equity totaled $75,709,000 at June 30, 1996, compared to
$73,026,000 at December 31, 1995. The ratio of shareholders' equity to assets
was 9.00% at June 30, 1996 and 8.97% at December 31, 1995, respectively.

The unrealized loss on securities available for sale, net of tax effect, was
$1,497,000 at June 30, 1996, compared to an unrealized gain of $842,000 at
December 31, 1995. The change of $2,339,000 is primarily attributable to the
changing interest rate environment.
GENERAL
Several significant projects were completed in 1996, including the conversion
of the former Western Reserve Bank of Ohio ("Western Reserve") customer files
to the Citizens Banking Company's computer system. This consolidation allows us
to provide consistent customer reporting throughout Bancshares and yields
significant cost savings. We also completed the consolidation of the Boardman
offices of Citizens and Western Reserve.
On April 4, 1996, Bancshares announced the signing of a definitive agreement to
acquire The Navarre Deposit Bank Company. Navarre has assets of approximately
$80 million and is located in southwestern Stark County with offices in Navarre
(2), Brewster and Richville. Navarre will be merged into Citizens at the time
of acquisition which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter 1996. The
transaction, which is subject to approval by Navarre's shareholders and various
regulatory agencies, calls for an all-stock exchange and has an aggregate value
of $15,646,000.
The acquisition of Navarre increases our Stark County presence and gives us
added exposure in an area of expanding economic activity. The Navarre
acquisition complements Citizens' existing loan production office in Canton,
Ohio, which opened in December, 1995. The transaction is expected to close in
the last quarter of 1996.
Bancshares received national attention in June 1996 as USBanker magazine
published its ranking of the top-performing 200 mid-sized banks in the United
States. Bancshares is ranked 9th. Criteria used to determine ranking included
ratio of loans to deposits, measurement of capital, asset quality and
profitability.
