See notes to interim consolidated financial statements Page 6 7 First Citizens Banc Corp Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Form 10-Q (1) Consolidated Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Citizens Banc Corp (Corporation) and it wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Citizens Banking Company (Citizens), The Castalia Banking Company (Castalia), The Farmers State Bank of New Washington (Farmers), SCC Resources, Inc. (SCC), and R. A. Reynolds Appraisal Service, Inc. (Reynolds). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997; the consolidated statements of income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997; the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996; and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 have been prepared by the Corporation without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Corporation's financial position as of September 30, 1998 and its results of operations and changes in cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 have been made. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions of Form 10-Q, and therefore certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Corporation described in the notes to financial statements contained in the Corporation's 1997 annual report. The Corporation has consistently followed these policies in preparing this Form 10-Q. The provision for income taxes is based on the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the entire year. The Corporation follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded at enacted tax rates based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as "temporary differences." A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Certain items in the 1997 financial statements have been reclassified to correspond with the 1998 presentation. Page 7 8 First Citizens Banc Corp Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Form 10-Q The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing, of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" in 1996. It revises the accounting for transfers of financial assets, such as loans and securities, and for distinguishing between sales and secured borrowings. It was originally effective for some transactions in 1997. SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125", was issued in December 1996. SFAS No. 127 deferred for one year the effective date of provisions related to securities lending, repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The remaining portions of SFAS No. 125 continued to be effective January 1, 1997. SFAS No. 125 did not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements. First Citizens adopted on January 1, 1998, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," issued by the FASB in June 1997. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 requires all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in the financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. It does not require a specific format for that financial statement but requires that an enterprise display an amount representing total comprehensive income for the period in that financial statement. SFAS No. 130 requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position. The Corporation elected to present comprehensive income and the accumulated balance in the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity for interim reporting purposes. The table below presents the reclassification adjustments related to comprehensive income. Reclassification adjustments are needed when an item is included in the net income in one period and comprehensive income in another accounting period.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." This Statement significantly changes the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about reportable segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 uses a "management approach" to disclose financial and descriptive information about an enterprise's reportable operating segments which is based on reporting information the way that management organizes the segments within the enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance. For many enterprises, the management approach will likely result in more segments being reported. In addition, SFAS No. 131 requires significantly more information to be disclosed for each reportable segment than is presently being reported in annual financial statements. The Statement also requires that selected information be reported in interim financial statements. SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. No additional disclosure under SFAS No. 131 was required for the Corporation. In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits". SFAS No. 132 amends disclosure requirements of previous pension and other postretirement benefit accounting standards by requiring additional disclosures about such plans as well as eliminating some disclosures no longer considered useful. SFAS No. 132 also allows greater aggregation of disclosures for employers with multiple defined benefit plans. SFAS No. 132 will be effective for 1998 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation's financial statements. Page 9 10 First Citizens Banc Corp Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Form 10-Q In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The key criterion for hedge accounting is that the hedging relationship must be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows. SFAS No. 133 does not allow hedging of a security which is classified as held-to-maturity, accordingly, upon adoption of SFAS No. 133, companies may reclassify any security from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale if they wish to be able to hedge the security in the future. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999 with early adoption encouraged for any fiscal quarter beginning July 1, 1998 or later, with no retroactive application. (2) Securities The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses and estimated fair values of securities as presented in the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 are as follows:

Page 14 15 First Citizens Banc Corp Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Form 10-Q (5) Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Risk The Bank subsidiaries are parties to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet financing needs of their customers. These include commitments to make or purchase loans, undisbursed lines of credit, undisbursed credit card balances and letters of credit. The Banks' exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Banks follow the same credit policy to make such commitments as they use for loans recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Since many commitments to make loans expire without being used, the amount does not necessarily represent future cash commitments. Collateral obtained relating to the commitments is determined using management's credit evaluation of the borrower and may include real estate, vehicles, business assets, deposits and other items. The Banks do make fixed rate loan commitments for short periods of time. However, such commitments were immaterial as of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997. Commitments to extend credit and letters of credit approximated the following amounts at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997.
Contract Amount --------------- September 30, December 31, 1998 1997 ------------- ------------ Commitment to extend credit: Lines of credit and construction loans $24,958,000 $20,308,000 Credit cards 3,184,000 3,169,000 Letters of credit 863,000 667,000 ----------- ----------- $29,005,000 $24,144,000 =========== ===========
The Banks are required to maintain certain reserve balances on hand in accordance with the Federal Reserve Board requirements. The average reserve balance maintained in accordance with such requirements for the periods ended September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 approximated $2,136,000 and $1,682,000 respectively. In the normal course of business, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal actions, but in the opinion of management and its legal counsel, ultimate disposition of such legal matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements. Page 15 16 First Citizens Banc Corp Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Form 10-Q (6) Acquisitions Effective April 28, 1998, the Corporation merged with The Farmers State Bank of New Washington ("Farmers"), headquartered in New Washington, Ohio, in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. First Citizens issued approximately 1.2 million shares of common stock to the shareholders of Farmers based upon an exchange ratio of 6.06 shares of First Citizens for each outstanding share of Farmers common stock.

Page 16 17 First Citizens Banc Corp Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Form 10-Q Introduction - ------------ The following discussion focuses on the consolidated financial condition of First Citizens Banc Corp at September 30, 1998, compared to December 31, 1997 and the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 1998 compared to the same periods in 1997. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in this Form 10-Q. The registrant is not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that will have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on the liquidity, capital resources, or operations except as discussed herein. Also, the registrant is not aware of any current recommendation by regulatory authorities, which would have a material effect if implemented. In addition to the historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Economic circumstances, the Corporation's operations, and the Corporation's actual results could differ significantly from those disclosed in forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are discussed herein but also include changes in the economy and interest rates in the nation and in the Corporation's general market area. Some of the forward-looking statements included herein are the statements regarding the following: 1. Management's determination of the amount of loan loss allowance and the amount of the loan loss provision; 2. The sufficiency of the Corporation's liquidity and capital reserves See Exhibit 99, which is incorporated herein by reference. Financial Condition - ------------------- Total assets of the Corporation at September 30, 1998 totaled $495,009,602 compared to $484,118,372 at December 31, 1997. This was an increase of $10,891,230 or 2.2 percent. Within the structure of the assets, net loans have decreased $7,315,467 or 2.5 percent since December 31, 1997, due in part to slow loan growth. In addition, two large commercial loans, totaling approximately $2,925,000, paid off since December 31, 1997. Finally, the Corporation now selling mortgages on the secondary market. For the first nine months of 1998, loans originated for sale totaled $5,857,897. Loans held-for-sale decreased $349,218, or 50.5 percent from December 31, Page 17 18 First Citizens Banc Corp Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Form 10-Q 1997. At September 30, 1998, the net loan to deposit ratio was 69.0 percent compared to 71.5 percent at December 31, 1997. At September 30, 1998, $160,805,044, or 98.6 percent of the portfolio was classified as available-for-sale. The remainder of $2,218,580 was classified as held-to-maturity. Securities increased $19,069,342 from December 31, 1997. With loan demand being slow, additional securities have been purchased to gain additional yield over fed funds. For the nine months of operations of 1998, $299,000 was placed into the allowance from earnings compared to $1,014,344 for the same period of 1997. Provisions to the reserve are down for three reasons. First, loan volume is down. With the loan volume down, general reserves are also reduced. The second reason is that impaired loans are also down. Impaired loans at September 30, 1998 totaled $2,748,898, or 0.96 percent of the loan portfolio compared to $4,335,220, or 1.5 percent of the loan portfolio at December 31, 1997. Each impaired loan has a specific reserve amount associated with it. As with loan volume, when impaired loans decrease, so will the reserve. Finally, the increased provision expense for 1997 was based on the results of an independent loan review at Farmers which management contracted to be performed in response to the Memorandum of Understanding. The loan review results indicated that internal procedures for loan underwriting and documentation standards had not been sufficient to keep pace with the rapid expansion in loan volume. As a result, the credit quality of new loan originations in 1997 has deteriorated and perfection of Farmers security interest was not always well documented. Even though the majority of new loans are secured by residential real estate, which typically carry a lower risk of loss than other loans, management felt it prudent to increase the provision for loan losses until the results from recent improvements in lending procedures had time to become effective. Management has taken aggressive action to correct lending deficiencies by adopting a new loan policy, improving the loan approval process, contracting for the assistance of experienced loan underwriters and by implementing a standardized loan document preparation system. These improvements are expected to reduce the need for future large provisions to the allowance for loan losses. Net charge-offs for the first nine months of 1998 were $324,608 compared to $240,100 for the same period of 1997. Although the provision to the reserve for loan losses is down, the ratio of allowance to total loans increased slightly. The September 30, 1998 allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 1.64 percent compared to 1.61 percent at December 31, 1997. Office premises and equipment have decreased $59,010 and intangible assets have decreased $249,536 since December 31, 1997. The decrease in office premises and equipment is attributed to new purchases of $592,971, less proceeds from the sale of equipment of $64,436 and depreciation of $587,545. Total deposits at September 30, 1998 increased $4,192,717 from year-end 1997. Noninterest-bearing Page 18 19 First Citizens Banc Corp Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Form 10-Q deposits, representing demand deposit balances, increased $1,740,794 from year-end 1997. Interest-bearing deposits, including savings and time deposits, increased $2,451,923 from year-end 1997. The year to date 1998 average balance of savings deposits has decreased $8,145,000 compared to the average balance of the same period for 1997. The current average rate of these deposits is 2.91 percent. The year to date 1998 average balance of time certificates has increased $18,666,000 compared to the average balance for the same period for 1997. The current average rate on these deposits is 5.48 percent. The average balance of certificates of deposit increased because of the introduction of a new certificate product, as well as pricing strategies employed to generate deposit growth. In addition to the new money generated in the certificates of deposit, substantial dollars shifted from savings to the higher yielding certificates. Other borrowed funds have increased $5,066,051 from December 31, 1997 to September 30, 1998. Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings have decreased $932,945 as a result of scheduled paydowns. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase have increased $8,327,086 and U.S. Treasury Tax Demand Notes have decreased $2,328,090. Shareholders' equity at September 30, 1998 was $54,091,159, which was 10.9 percent of total assets. Shareholders' equity at December 31, 1997 was $51,199,435, which was 10.6 percent of total assets. The increase in shareholders' equity was represented by earnings of $3,445,135 less dividends of $1,650,410 plus the increase in the unrealized gain on securities available for sale of $1,096,999. The company paid cash dividends on February 1, 1998, May 1, 1998 and on August 1, 1998, each at the rate of $.15 per share. Both the February 1, 1998 and the May 1, 1998 dividends were payable to shareholders of record prior to the merger with Farmers. Farmers paid a dividend of $92,000 in 1998 prior to the merger. The August 1, 1998 dividend was payable to shareholders of record after the merger with Farmers. Total outstanding shares at September 30, 1998 were 4,263,401. Results of Operations - --------------------- Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 was $1,175,575, or $.28 per common share compared to $1,115,755, or $.26 per common share for the same period in 1997. This was a increase of $59,820, or 5.4 percent. Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $3,445,135, or $.81 per common share compared to $3,799,532, or $.89 per common share for the same period in 1997. This was a decrease of $354,397, or 9.3 percent. Some of the reasons for the changes are explained below. Net interest income for the third quarter 1998 totaled $4,131,193 compared to $3,739,657 for the third quarter of 1997. This was an increase of $223,308 or 5.0 percent. Total interest income for the first nine months of 1998 has increased $463,803 or 1.8 percent compared to the same period of Page 19 20 First Citizens Banc Corp Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Form 10-Q 1997. The average rate on earning assets on a tax equivalent basis for the first nine months of 1998 was 7.61 percent and 7.80 percent for the first nine months of 1997. Total interest expense for the first nine months of 1998 has increased $817,662 or 6.7 percent compared to the same period of 1997. This increase is due mainly to an increase in interest on deposits of $742,049. The average rate on paying liabilities for the first nine months of 1998 was 4.45 percent compared to 4.32 percent for the same period of 1997. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis was 3.88 percent for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 and 4.16 percent for the same period ended September 30, 1997. Noninterest income for the third quarter 1998 totaled $1,063,592 compared to $1,220,816 for the third quarter 1997, an decrease of $157,224 or 12.9 percent. Revenue from computer operations decreased $98,470 due mainly to SCC Resources, Inc. selling its microcomputer division. Gain on securities for the quarter decreased $174,056 and other operating income decreased $38,436. However, increases in service charges on deposit accounts of $80,626, increased gain on the sale of loans of $73,112 helped offset these decreases. Noninterest income for the first nine months of 1998 totaled $3,024,871 compared to $3,228,485 for the same period of 1997. The net decrease in noninterest income of $203,614 or 6.3 percent, can be attributed to decreases in revenue from the computer operations of $390,165, increased service charges on deposit accounts of $94,867, increased gains on the sale of loans of $153,016, decreased gains on securities of $125,804 and increased other operating income of $64,472. Noninterest expense for the third quarter 1998 totaled $3,570,556 compared to $3,485,718 for the third quarter 1997. This was an increase of $84,838 or 2.4 percent. Year-to-date, noninterest expense has increased $525,487 or 5.3 percent from $10,008,526 in 1997 to $10,534,013 in 1998. The largest change in noninterest expense was in professional fees. Professional fees increased $274,345, due mainly to one-time costs incurred in the purchase of Farmers. Provision for Income Taxes - -------------------------- The provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 1998 totaled $448,654 compared to $359,000 for the third quarter of 1997. This was a decrease of $89,654 or 24.9 percent. The increase in the federal income taxes is a result of the increase in total income before taxes of $149,474. The provision for income taxes year-to-date for 1998 totaled $1,338,097 compared to $1,351,316 year-to-date for 1997. This was a decrease of $13,219 or 1.0 percent. Page 20 21 Capital Resources - ----------------- Shareholders equity totaled $54,091,159 at September 30, 1998 compared to $51,199,435 at December 31, 1997. All of the capital ratios exceed the regulatory minimum guidelines as identified in the following table:
Corporation Ratios Regulatory 9/30/98 12/31/97 Minimums ------- -------- -------- Tier I Risk Based Capital 16.50% 17.45% 4.00% Total Risk Based Capital 17.76% 18.83% 8.00% Leverage Ratio 9.81% 9.47% 5.00%
The Corporation paid cash dividends of $.15 per common share each on February 1, 1998, May 1, 1998 and August 1, 1998 compared to $.14 per common share each on February 1, 1997, May 1, 1997 and August 1, 1997. Year-to-date 1998 dividends have increased $.03 per common share from year-to-date 1997. Capital expenditures totaled $592,971 for the first nine months of 1998 compared to $1,253,781 for the same period of 1997. The capital expenditures for the first nine months of 1997 include $956,145 of premises and equipment acquired in the purchase of two branches. Liquidity - --------- Liquidity as it relates to the banking entities of the Corporation is the ability to meet the cash demand and credit needs of its customers. For the first nine months of 1998 the Banks maintained a federal funds sold position that averaged $17,168,000. In addition, the Banks, through their respective correspondent banks, maintain federal funds borrowing lines totaling $28,950,000 and the Banks have total borrowing availability at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati of $12,244,911 at September 30, 1998. Finally, 98.6% of the Corporation's security portfolio has been classified as available for sale, which provides additional liquidity. Year 2000 Issue - --------------- First Citizens Banc Corp realizes that the year 2000 challenge is a serious problem for not only itself and other banks but for all organizations. Many computer systems that use dates to calculate any number of computations, functions, and a vast number of commands may begin to fail prior to or Page 21 22 First Citizens Banc Corp Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Form 10-Q on the start of the new year 2000. It is critical to the continuing operations of First Citizens Banc Corp that all its systems that are sensitive to the Year 2000 date change be identified and changed before any adverse situations occur. First Citizens Banc Corp's definition of Year 2000 Compliant is the capability of sustaining minimal business disruptions, readiness of system applications and preparation for response and recovery as necessary. System applications are considered Year 2000 ready when they continue to produce the same understandable, accurate and predictable results, regardless of the date. The Year 2000 Plan is broken into 5 separate parts. Each part is important to the end result of being 2000 compliant. Upon completion of the plan all items will have been examined and corrected (or documented as a exception). The phases are as follows: awareness, assessment, renovation, validation, and implementation. The awareness phase involves identifying the Year 2000 problem, gaining executive level support for recognizing the importance of the problem, and developing a team and strategy for handling the problem. First Citizens Banc Corp has appointed Year 2000 Directors and established Year 2000 Teams and an Executive Y2K Committee. To help inform our customer and our community of the Year 2000 issue we have sent brochures out to our customers and held information seminars that were open to the public. The assessment phase involves identifying the size and complexity of the problem as it relates to First Citizens Banc Corp, including identifying all software, hardware, systems, and internal and external interdependencies that are affected by the century change. From the regulatory perspective, this also includes identifying the resources needed, the time frames, and the processes necessary to handle the Year 2000 problem. Assessment lists have been completed listing those items that are Year 2000 susceptible, prioritizing them as to their importance. Maintaining this list and contact with all necessary vendors is an ongoing process. Questionnaires were sent out to loan and deposit customers to help address our credit and liquidity risks. The renovation phase involves programming or reprogramming systems, hardware and software upgrades, system replacements, and related changes that we will have to make to prepare all systems for the turn of the century. This includes ongoing contact with any third-party servicers or software providers that the bank may be using. First Citizens Banc Corp is having all incompliant hardware and software either updated or replaced. The validation phase is essentially the testing phase to determine that all upgrades or reprogrammed systems, as well as other systems that are believed to be Year 2000 compliant, are truly ready for the date change to January 1, 2000. First Citizens Banc Corp is developing a test plan to verify that all hardware and software in use will be ready for the Year 2000. Page 22 23 First Citizens Banc Corp Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Form 10-Q The implementation phase involves certification that existing systems are ready to go, and that any new systems or changes to existing systems are compliant with the turn of the century requirements. Active involvement of all departments and teams will monitor new and existing items to insure that a smooth transition into the Year 2000 and beyond is achieved. In anticipation of potential Year 2000 problems, the Corporation has addressed both preventative measures and corrective actions. Management has set a maximum budget of $281,100 for Year 2000 related issues. Year-to-date through September 30, 1998, $18,534 has been spent on solutions for possible problems. In addition to the dollars spent, specific contingency plans are in place for all mission critical items. Mission critical items are the programs that must be in place in order for the Corporation to continue operations with minimal business disruptions. The contingency plans vary widely and range from manual report preparation to telephone authorization of funds transfer to reliance on vendor's contingencies where no other alternative exists. ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk - ---------------------------------------------------------- The Corporation's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. The Banks do not maintain a trading account for any class of financial instrument and the Corporation is not affected by foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk. Due to the basis in equities held by Farmers being so much less than the current fair value at this time, the Corporation is not subject to significant equity price risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that the Corporation's financial condition will be adversely affected due to movements in interest rates. The Corporation, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the extent that its interest-earning assets reprice differently than interest-bearing liabilities. The income of financial institutions is primarily derived from the excess of interest earned on interest-earning assets over interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. One of the Corporation's principal financial objectives is to achieve long-term profitability while reducing its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. Accordingly, the Corporation places great importance on monitoring and controlling interest rate risk. There are several methods employed by the Corporation to monitor and control interest rate risk. One such method is using gap analysis. The gap is defined as the repricing variance between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities within certain periods. The repricing can occur due to changes in rates on variable products as well as maturities of interest-earning assets and interest- Page 23 24 First Citizens Banc Corp Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Form 10-Q bearing liabilities. A high ratio of interest sensitive liabilities, generally referred to as a negative gap, tends to benefit net interest income during periods of falling rates as the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities falls faster than the average rate earned on interest-earning assets. The opposite holds true in during periods of rising rates. The Corporation attempts to minimize the interest rate risk through management of the gap in order to achieve consistent shareholder return. The Corporation's Assets and Liability Management Policy is to maintain a laddered gap position. One strategy is to originate variable rate loans tied to market indices. Such loans reprice as the underlying market index changes. Currently, approximately 54.2% of the Corporation's loan portfolio reprices on at least an annual basis. The Corporation also invests excess funds in federal funds that mature and reprice daily. The Corporation's 1997 annual report details a table, which provides information about the Banks financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 1997. The table is based on information and assumptions set forth in the notes. The Corporation believes the assumptions are reasonable. For loans, securities and liabilities with contractual maturities, the table represents principal cash flows and weighted average interest rate. For variable rate loans the contractual maturity and weighted average interest rate were used with an explanatory footnote as to repricing periods. For liabilities without contractual maturities such as demand and savings deposits, a decay rate was utilized to match their most likely withdrawal behavior. Since the Asset/Liability mix of Farmers is similar to that of First Citizens, management believes that no events have occurred since December 31, 1997 which would significantly change the ratio of rate sensitive liabilities for the given time horizon.
