9 INTRODUCTION The following is a review of Citizens Banking Corporation's ("Citizens") performance during the three months ended March 31, 2002. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited financial statements and notes thereto appearing on pages 3 through 9 of this report and Citizens' 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. A quarterly summary of selected financial data for the five-quarter period ended March 31, 2002 is presented in the table on page 9. EARNINGS SUMMARY Citizens earned net income of $24,103,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002, or $0.53 per share, compared with net income of $23,805,000, or $0.51 per share, for the same quarter of 2001. Returns on average assets and average equity for the quarter were 1.29% and 13.94%, respectively, compared with 1.17% and 14.03%, respectively, in 2001. Net income in the first quarter of 2002 is higher than the same period in 2001 primarily due to an increase in noninterest income and decreases in noninterest expense and income taxes. Partially offsetting these increases were lower net interest income and investment securities gains and a higher provision for loan losses. Noninterest income before securities gains was $24,724,000, an increase of $2,282,000, or 10.2% compared to the same period in 2001. Noninterest income increased in the three month period ended March 31, 2002 over the comparable period in 2001 primarily due to higher mortgage and other loan income and increased brokerage and investment fees. These increases were partially offset by decreases in trust and bankcard fees and lower securities gains. Noninterest expenses decreased by $1,520,000, or 2.4% for the three month period ended March 31, 2002 compared with the prior year. The decrease is a result of lower intangible asset amortization due to the adoption of Financial Accounting Statement No. 142 in the first quarter of 2002, as well as lower equipment, occupancy, bankcard, postage and delivery and data processing costs. These decreases were partially offset by increases in compensation of $682,000, professional services of $453,000 and advertising expenses of $270,000. LINES OF BUSINESS REPORTING Citizens is managed along four major business segments: Commercial Banking, Retail Banking, Financial Services and Other. For more information about each line of business, see Note 18 to the Corporation's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10Q. A summary of net income by each business line is presented below.

The decrease in Commercial Banking for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was due to lower net interest income from weak loan demand and increased loan loss provision. These decreases were offset, in part, by higher noninterest income from deposit service charges. The decrease in Retail Banking is due to a reduction in net interest income from lower loan and deposit levels, narrower margin on deposits due to the current interest rate environment and a decline in noninterest income. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily a result of lower gains on the sale of securitized mortgage loans in 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The first quarter of 2001 included $2.1 million in gains on the securitization and sale of portfolio mortgages while the first quarter of 2002 included no such gains. Financial Services income decreased as a result of lower revenue from trust fees due to the weak equity markets and lower levels of assets under management. The increase in the Other category is the result of higher net interest income due to a reduced reliance on borrowed funds and an improved net interest margin. Operating expenses are lower due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142 in 2002, which eliminated the amortization of goodwill. 10 NET INTEREST INCOME Tax equivalent net interest income, decreased to $78.6 million in the first quarter of 2002 from $79.3 million in the comparable period in 2001. A lower level of earning assets led to the decline. Detailed analyses of net interest income, with average balances and related interest rates for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 are presented on page 13. An analysis of how changes in average balances ("volume") and market rates of interest ("rates") have effected net interest income appears in the table on page 12. For the three month period ended March 31, 2002, net unfavorable volume and net favorable rate related variances in net interest income resulted in a decrease of $661,000 in net interest income, as compared to the same period in 2001. Interest income declined $38.3 million and interest expense declined $37.6 million due to the lower interest rate environment and reductions in the volumes of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Yields on earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2002 declined 139 basis points to 6.92% from 8.31%, for the first quarter of 2001. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2002 declined 201 basis points to 2.96% from 4.97%, as compared with the same period in 2001. Unfavorable rate and volume related variances for loans were offset by favorable rate and volume related variances for deposits and borrowings. Lower funding costs resulted from a decline in borrowed funds, a shift in deposit accounts from higher cost savings and time deposits to lower cost demand deposits and the lower interest rate environment. Net interest margin, the difference between yields earned on earning assets compared to the rates paid on supporting funds, was 4.45% for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of 35 basis points over the same period in 2001. The improvement in net interest margin is a result of the lower interest rate environment and the balance sheet restructuring efforts initiated in 2001. 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 the section titled "Interest Rate Risk". 11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST EXPENSE

(3) For presentation in this table, average balances and the corresponding average rates for investment securities are based upon historical cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. 13 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 $5,250,000 in the first quarter of 2002, an increase of $1,201,000 over the same period in 2001. Net charge-offs were 0.37% of average loans in the first quarter of 2002, up from 0.24% in the same period a year ago. The increase primarily reflects higher charge-offs in the commercial loan portfolio. A summary of loan loss experience during the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 is provided below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ANALYSIS OF ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

(1) Loans outstanding and average loans outstanding excludes loans held for sale. Citizens maintains an allowance for credit losses to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on a regular, quarterly assessment of the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolios. The allowance is increased by the provision charged to income and reduced by the amount charged-off, net of recoveries. Citizens' methodology for measuring the adequacy of the allowance relies on several key elements, which include specific allowances for identified problem loans, reserves by formula and an unallocated allowance. Specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to a credit that management believes indicate it is probable that a loss has been or will be incurred. The specific credit allocations are based on a regular 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. The allowance amount is determined by analyzing the financial condition, collateral value and other qualitative factors as well as by a method prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan". The formula allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans (excluding specifically identified credits) based on loan type, accrual status and internal risk grade of such loans and pools of loans. Minimum loss factors for criticized loan categories are consistent with regulatory agency factors. Loss factors for non-criticized loan categories are determined based on historical (generally three-year) averages adjusted quarterly for recent loss experience in the specific portfolios. In addition, adjustments are made to any loss factor used in the computation of the formula allowance in the event that, in management's judgement, significant factors which affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the valuation date, are not reflected in the loss factors. 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, collateral values, 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 the Company's specific allowances or in the historical loss factors used to determine the formula allowances. The unallocated allowance was $19.2 million and $18.1 million as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectfully. 14 Citizens maintains formal policies and procedures to monitor and control credit risk. Citizens' loan portfolio has no significant concentrations in any one industry or 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. Based on present information, management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to meet known risks in the loan portfolio. Employment levels and other economic conditions in the Corporation's 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 A summary of significant sources of noninterest income during the first three months of 2002 and 2001 follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NONINTEREST INCOME
Change in 2002 Three Months Ended ------------------ March 31, (in thousands) 2002 2001 Amount Percent -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service charges on deposit accounts $ 6,632 $ 6,703 $ (71) (1.1)% Trust fees 4,858 5,495 (637) (11.6) Bankcard fees 2,758 2,906 (148) (5.1) Brokerage and investment fees 2,050 1,868 182 9.7 Mortgage and other loan income 4,025 2,094 1,931 92.2 ATM network user fees 752 801 (49) (6.1) Cash management services 716 644 72 11.2 Other, net 2,933 1,931 1,002 51.9 ------- ------- ------- Noninterest income before asset gains 24,724 22,442 2,282 10.2 Investment securities gains 2 106 (104) (1) Gain on sale of securitized mortgages --- 2,113 (2,113) (1) ------- ------- ------- Total noninterest income $24,726 $24,661 $ 65 0.3 ======= ======= ======= --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2002, before securities gains, increased $2,282,000, or 10.2% over the same period of 2001. During the first quarter of 2002, Citizens realized significant increases in mortgage and other loan income, cash management service fees, and brokerage and investment fees while trust, ATM network and bankcard fees declined. Mortgage and other loan income was up $1.9 million or 92.2% due to higher origination volume and gains realized upon the sale of new mortgage production. Cash management fees increased 11.2% over the comparable period in 2001 due to higher account balances. Brokerage and investment fees increased 9.7% in the first quarter of 2002 compared to 2001. Other income increased 51.9% in the first quarter of 2002 compared to the same period last year due to higher revenue from check orders, title insurance fees and other sources. The first quarter of 2001 includes $2.2 million in gains on the sale of securitized portfolio mortgages and other investment securities. 15 NONINTEREST EXPENSE Significant changes in noninterest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 are summarized in the table below. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Change in 2002 Three Months Ended ----------------- March 31, (in thousands) 2002 2001 Amount Percent -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Salaries and employee benefits $32,200 $31,518 $ 682 2.2 % Equipment 4,858 4,954 (96) (1.9) Occupancy 4,615 4,927 (312) (6.3) Data processing services 3,125 3,175 (50) (1.6) Professional services 2,835 2,382 453 19.0 Bankcard fees 2,082 2,288 (206) (9.0) Advertising and public relations 1,831 1,561 270 17.3 Postage and delivery 1,758 1,963 (205) (10.4) Telephone 1,376 1,575 (199) (12.6) Stationery and supplies 1,078 1,191 (113) (9.5) Intangible asset amortization 725 2,530 (1,805) (71.3) Other, net 4,708 4,647 61 1.3 ------- ------- ------- Total noninterest expense $61,191 $62,711 $(1,520) (2.4) ======= ======= ======= --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2002 decreased $1,520,000, or 2.4% from the first quarter 2001. Intangible asset amortization declined $1,805,000, or 71.3% from the same quarter of the prior year primarily due to the adoption of a new accounting statement (Financial Accounting Statement No. 142) that eliminated goodwill amortization as an operating expense. In addition to goodwill amortization, operating expenses for equipment, occupancy, data processing, postage and delivery, telephone, bankcard fees and stationery and supplies declined due to operating efficiencies. Professional service expenses increased 19.0% in the first quarter 2002 over the comparable period last year due to higher loan collection and recruiting costs as well as cost associated with revenue enhancement strategies. Advertising and public relations expense increased 17.3% over the same period a year ago due to the introduction of a new marketing campaign in February 2002 to promote Citizens deposit services and loan products. INCOME TAXES Income tax expense was $9.1 million in the first quarter of 2002, a decrease of 6.0% over the same period last year. Lower pre-tax earnings and a recent change in tax law resulted in a $342,000 nonrecurring tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2002, as compared to the same period in the prior year. FINANCIAL CONDITION Citizens had total assets of $7.482 billion as of March 31, 2002, a decrease of $197 million, or 2.6% from $7.679 billion as of December 31, 2001. Total assets declined due to balance sheet restructuring efforts and reduced 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 94.1% of average total assets during the first three months of 2002 compared with 94.2% in the first three months of 2001. INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND MONEY MARKET INVESTMENTS Total average investments, including money market investments, comprised 18.9% of average earning assets during the first quarter of 2002, compared with 18.7% for the same period of 2001. Average investment security balances in the first quarter of 2002 were down $171 million over the same period in 2001. Average money market investments were up $62.6 million from first quarter 2001 levels. MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE Average mortgage loans held for sale comprised 2.1% of average earning assets at March 31, 2002 compared with 1.0% at March 31, 2001. The increase reflects Citizens' strategy to sell current mortgage loan production in the secondary market in the low interest rate environment. Mortgages held for sale are accounted for on the lower of cost or market basis. 16 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 March 31, 2002 were down $159.3 million, or 2.8%, from year-end 2001. For the quarter, the decline in total loans was primarily due to decreased loan demand and the sale of mortgage loan production. Average loans declined by $648 million, or 10.3%, for the first quarter of 2002 as compared with the same period in 2001. Average real estate mortgage loans declined $411 million from the first quarter of 2001 due to the securitization and sale of $247 million of mortgage loans in 2001 and the on going sale of new mortgage loan production. Commercial and consumer loans decreased from first quarter 2001 due to weakened loan demand and the sale of $30 million of credit card assets in the second quarter of 2001. At March 31, 2002 and 2001, $232.7 million and $345.6 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 $1.4 million at March 31, 2002 and $2.5 million at March 31, 2001. NONPERFORMING ASSETS Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, loans 90 days 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 nonaccrual status. A loan is considered impaired when management determines it is probable that all the principal and interest due under the contractual terms of the loans will not 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 the Corporation's nonperforming loans included in the following table are considered to be impaired. The Corporation 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 March 31, 2002 and 2001. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMPAIRED LOAN ANALYSIS

The average recorded investment in impaired loans was $63.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 and $57.6 million for the same quarter last year. For the quarter ended March 31, 2002, Citizens recognized interest income of $0.3 million on impaired loans with cash collected on nonaccrual impaired loans totaling $0.4 million all of which was applied to principal. For the same quarter last year, Citizens recognized interest income of approximately $0.4 million on impaired loans with cash collected on nonaccrual impaired loans of $0.4 million all of which was applied to principal. 17 The table below provides a summary of nonperforming assets as of March 31, 2002, December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2001. Total nonperforming assets amounted to $80.1 million as of March 31, 2002 compared with $79.2 million as of December 31, 2001 and $73.5 million as of March 31, 2001. Approximately $14.8 million, or 21% of nonperforming loans are residential mortgage loans. The historical loss in the residential mortgage loan portfolio has been very low. Employment levels and other economic conditions in the Citizens' local markets; however, can impact the level and composition of nonperforming assets. In a deteriorating or weak economy, higher levels of nonperforming assets, charge-offs and provisions for loan losses could result which may adversely impact the Corporation's results. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NONPERFORMING ASSETS

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 change. As of March 31, 2002, such credits amounted to $68.3 million or 1.2% of total loans, compared with $78.9 million or 1.3% at December 31, 2001 and $72.6 million or 1.2% of total loans as of March 31, 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 $104 million to $5.861 billion at March 31, 2002 from $5.965 billion at year-end 2001. Average deposits declined $231 million, or 3.8% in the first quarter of 2002 over the same period in 2001. The decline in deposits from year-end and first quarter of 2001 occurred primarily in the large denomination time deposits as Citizens was less aggressive in pricing such deposits due to decreased funding requirements. The Corporation gathers deposits primarily in its local markets and historically has not relied on brokered funds to sustain liquidity. At March 31, 2002 Citizens had approximately $212 million in brokered deposits as an alternative source of funding, up from $171 million at year-end 2001. Citizens will continue to evaluate the use of alternative funding sources such as brokered deposits as funding needs change. Management continues to promote relationship driven core deposit growth and stability through focused marketing efforts and competitive pricing strategies. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT On average, total short-term borrowings decreased $568.4 million to $232.0 million during the first three months of 2002 from $800.4 million during the same period of 2001. The decrease primarily reflects reduced reliance on short-term borrowings as a funding source due to the balance sheet restructuring. Long-term debt accounted for $628.4 million or 10.6% of average interest-bearing funds for the first three months of 2002, compared with $538.6 million or 8.2% of average interest-bearing funds for the same period in 2001. At March 31, 2002, $629.7 million of the long-term debt consists of borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank with $321.3 million maturing at different intervals over the next five years. These borrowings are utilized to fund the Corporation's loan growth. Borrowed funds are expected to remain an important, reliable and cost-effective funding vehicle for Citizens and its subsidiary banks as earning asset growth opportunities are expected to continue to outpace traditional deposit growth. 18 CAPITAL RESOURCES Citizens continues to maintain a strong capital position which supports its current needs and provides a sound foundation to support further expansion. At March 31, 2002, shareholders' equity was $700.0 million compared with $697.5 million at December 31, 2001 and $702.3 million as of March 31, 2001. Book value per common share at March 31, 2002, December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2001 was $15.55, $15.46 and $15.13, respectively. Citizens has consistently maintained regulatory capital ratios at or above the "well-capitalized" standards and all bank subsidiaries of Citizens have sufficient capital to maintain a well-capitalized designation. Citizens' capital ratios as of March 31, 2002, December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2001 are presented below.

In October 2001, Citizens approved a plan to repurchase up to 3,000,000 shares of Citizens common stock for general purposes. At March 31, 2002, 413,800 shares of common stock had been repurchased under this plan at an average price of $32.29. Citizens declared cash dividends of $0.275 per share in the first quarter of 2002, an increase of 5.8% over the $0.26 declared during the same period of 2001. LIQUIDITY AND DEBT CAPACITY The liquidity position of Citizens is monitored for its subsidiaries and the Parent company 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 Citizens' Parent Company to borrow funds on both a short-term and long-term basis. The Parent has established borrowing facilities with a group of unaffiliated banks and has used portions of this revolving credit agreement for various corporate purposes. Citizens experienced no liquidity or operational problems as a result of its liquidity levels. Management believes that the key to operating at lower levels of 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 March 31, 2002, Citizens had sufficient liquidity to meet presently known 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. The Corporation's static interest rate sensitivity ("GAP") as of March 31, 2002 and 2001 is illustrated in the following table. 19

(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 $762 million and $744 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively, in the less than one year category, and $1.694 billion and $1.414 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 March 31, 2002 is asset sensitive in the less than one year time frame with rate sensitive assets exceeding rate sensitive liabilities by $458.3 million. Citizens' interest rate risk position at March 31, 2001 was liability sensitive in the less than one year time frame with rate sensitive liabilities exceeding rate sensitive assets by $1071.7 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 should decrease in a falling rate environment. 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. 20 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 2 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. 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 involved are subject to risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. These risks and uncertainties include unanticipated changes in the competitive environment and relationships with third party vendors and clients and certain other factors discussed in this report. Management believes that the expectations used in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, however, actual results may vary significantly. 21 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The information concerning quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk contained and incorporated by reference in Item 7A of Citizens' 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K, is here incorporated by reference. Citizens faces market risk to the extent that both earnings and the fair value of its financial instruments are affected by changes in interest rates. Citizens manages this risk with static GAP analysis and simulation modeling. Throughout the first quarter of 2002, the results of these measurement techniques were within Citizens' policy guidelines. Citizens does not believe that there has been a material change in its primary market risk exposure (i.e., the categories of market risk to which Citizens is exposed and the particular markets that present the primary risk of loss to the Citizens). As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Citizens does not know of or expect there to be any material change in the general nature of its primary market risk exposure in the near term. The methods by which Citizens manages its primary market risk exposure, as described in the sections of its 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K incorporated by reference in response to this item, have not changed materially during the current year. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Citizens does not expect to change those methods in the near term. However, Citizens may change those methods in the future to adapt to changes in circumstances or to implement new techniques. In this discussion, "near term" means a period of one year following the date of the most recent balance sheet contained in this report. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
