QUARTERLY REPORT
Dear Shareholder:
          Your company continues to improve its bottom line performance despite the current turmoil in the US and world economies. Net income for the first six months of 2008 is up 56.33%, or $2.5 million over the same period last year. Annualized return on average assets increased to 1.07% and annualized return on average equity increased to 10.16%. The net income enhancements from the acquisition of Citizens Bancorp and its subsidiary Citizens Trust Company, along with a more favorable rate curve, improved other income from deposit account fees and trust services, and the additional contributions from the earnings-enhancement/expense-reduction initiative we implemented in the second half of 2007 have all contributed significantly to the net income improvement.
          Management is currently working with a nationally known and an American Bankers Association endorsed “best practices” financial consulting company to further improve future performance. We are very excited about the opportunities for increased revenue and decreased expenses that will result from the implementation of the identified best practices. We will be able to report more in future communications on the positive effects of the changes we will be making.
          When the Russell 2000 index was reconstituted on June 27th, CZNC was added. We were first added to the Russell 2000 in June 2006 and then dropped from the index in June 2007. Membership in the index is determined solely on market capitalization. Our addition to the index in 2006 and the subsequent exit in 2007 seemed to result in significant price volatility. Since 2007, the index managers have adopted procedures that are designed to mitigate the price volatility that company stocks experience when being added to or dropped from the index. Despite that, our stock price seemed to be adversely affected by our addition to the index. We cannot determine a specific reason for the price drop. Currently it is widely known that financial stock prices are being affected by the negative news emanating from that market sector. We believe the market should positively receive our financial condition and performance.
          Thanks for your continued support.
Craig G. Litchfield
Chairman, President, & CEO
