Item 1. Business

(a) General Development of Business

FIRST CITIZENS BANC CORP (FCBC) was organized under the laws of the State of Ohio on February 19, 1987 and is a registered financial holding company under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, as amended. The Corporation’s office is located at 100 East Water Street, Sandusky, Ohio. The Corporation had total consolidated assets of $1,119,257 at December 31, 2007. FCBC and its subsidiaries are referred to together as the Corporation. In addition to the subsidiaries listed below, the Corporation also has five wholly owned special purpose entities that are accounted for using the equity method based on their nature and purpose.

THE CITIZENS BANKING COMPANY (Citizens), owned by the Corporation since 1987, opened for business in 1884 as The Citizens National Bank. In 1898, Citizens was reorganized under Ohio banking law and was known as The Citizens Bank and Trust Company. In 1908, Citizens surrendered its trust charter and began operation under its current name. Citizens is an insured bank under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. In the third quarter of 2006, Mr. Money Finance Company (Mr. Money), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citizens, was merged with and into Citizens. Citizens maintains its main office at 100 East Water Street, Sandusky, Ohio and prior to 2007 operated branch banking offices in the following Ohio communities; Sandusky (2), Norwalk (2), Berlin Heights, Huron, Castalia, New Washington, Shelby (3), Willard, Crestline, Chatfield, Tiro, Greenwich, Plymouth, and Shiloh. The completion of the acquisition of Champaign Bank and the assumption of the deposits of Miami Valley Bank expanded the bank’s market area to include branch banking offices in Akron, Dublin, Hilliard, Plain City, Russells Point, Urbana (2) , West Liberty and Quincy. Additionally, Citizens operates loan production offices in Marion, Ohio, Port Clinton, Ohio and Marysville, Ohio. Citizens accounts for 99.3% of the Corporation’s consolidated assets at December 31, 2007.

SCC RESOURCES INC. (SCC) was organized under the laws of the State of Ohio. SCC began as a joint venture of three local Sandusky, Ohio banks in 1966, SCC provides item-processing services for financial institutions, including Citizens, and other nonrelated entities. The Corporation acquired total ownership of SCC in February 1993. On June 19, 1999, SCC entered into an agreement with Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (JHA), whereby SCC agreed to sell all of its contracts for providing data processing services to community banks to JHA. JHA agreed to pay SCC a fee based upon annual net revenue under a new JHA contract for each bank that signed a five-year contract with JHA by January 31, 2000. This subsidiary accounts for less than one percent of the Corporation’s consolidated assets as of December 31, 2007.

FIRST CITIZENS INSURANCE AGENCY INC. (Insurance Agency) was also formed in 2001 to allow the Corporation to participate in commission revenue generated through its third party insurance agreement. Assets of the Insurance Agency are not significant as of December 31, 2007.

WATER STREET PROPERTIES (Water St.) was formed in 2003 to hold properties repossessed by FCBC subsidiaries. Assets of Water St. are not significant as of December 31, 2007.

CHAMPAIGN INVESTMENT COMPANY (CIC) was acquired in 2007 via the Futura acquisition and is licensed as a fully disclosed broker and dealer in securities. The Corporation is in the process of dissolving this entity.

FIRST CITIZENS INVESTMENTS, INC (FCI) was formed in the fourth quarter of 2007 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citizens to hold and manage its securities portfolio. The operations of FCI are located in Wilmington, Delaware.

3

FIRST CITIZENS CAPITAL LLC (FCC) was also formed in the fourth quarter of 2007 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citizens to hold inter-company debt that is eliminated in consolidation.  The operations of FCC are located in Wilmington, Delaware.

(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments

FCBC is a financial holding company. Through the subsidiary bank, the Corporation is primarily engaged in the business of community banking, which accounts for substantially all of its revenue, operating income and assets. Financial information regarding the Corporation is included herein under Item 8 of this Form 10-K and statistical information regarding the Corporation is located under Item 1 of this Form 10-K, and each is incorporated into this Section by reference.

(c) Narrative Description of Business

General

The Corporation’s primary business is incidental to the subsidiary bank. Citizens, located in Erie, Crawford, Champaign, Franklin, Logan, Union, Summit, Huron, Marion, Ottawa, and Richland Counties, Ohio, conducts a general banking business that involves collecting customer deposits, making loans, purchasing securities, and offering Trust services.

Interest and fees on loans accounted for 77% of total revenue for 2007, 77% of total revenue for 2006, and 73% of total revenue in 2005. The Corporation’s primary focus of lending continues to be real estate loans, both residential and commercial in nature. Residential real estate mortgages comprised 43% of the total loan portfolio in 2007, 42% of the total loan portfolio in 2006, and 39% of the total loan portfolio in 2005. Commercial real estate loans comprised 38% of the total loan portfolio in 2007, 39% in 2006, and 37% in 2005. Commercial and agricultural loans comprised 12% of the total loan portfolio in 2007, 10% in 2006 and 13% in 2005. Citizens’ loan portfolio does not include any foreign-based loans, loans to lesser-developed countries or loans to FCBC.

On a parent company only basis, FCBC’s primary source of funds is the receipt of dividends paid by its subsidiaries, principally Citizens. The ability of the subsidiary bank to pay dividends is subject to limitations under various laws and regulations and to prudent and sound banking principles. Generally, subject to certain minimum capital requirements, the subsidiary bank may declare a dividend without the approval of the State of Ohio Division of Financial Institutions unless the total of the dividends in a calendar year exceeds the total net profits of the bank for the year combined with the retained profits of the bank for the two preceding years. At December 31, 2007, Citizens is unable to pay dividends to the Corporation without obtaining regulatory approval. Earnings have been sufficient to support asset growth at the subsidiary bank and at the same time provide funds to FCBC for shareholder dividends.

The Corporation’s business is not seasonal, nor is it dependent on a single or small group of customers.

In the opinion of management, the Corporation does not have exposure to material costs associated with environmental hazardous waste cleanup.

Competition

The market area for Citizens is Erie, Crawford, Champaign, Franklin, Logan, Union, Summit, Huron, Marion, Ottawa, and Richland counties. Traditional financial service competition for Citizens consists of large regional financial institutions, community banks, thrifts and credit unions operating within the Corporation’s market area. A growing nontraditional source of competition for loan and deposit dollars comes from captive auto finance companies, mortgage banking companies, internet banks, brokerage companies, insurance companies and direct mutual funds.

4

Employees

FCBC has no employees. The subsidiary companies employ approximately 263 full-time equivalent employees to whom a variety of benefits are provided. FCBC and its subsidiaries are not parties to any collective bargaining agreements. Management considers its relationship with its employees to be good.

Supervision and Regulation

The Bank Holding Company Act. As a financial holding company, FCBC is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the BHCA) and the examination and reporting requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve Board). Under the BHCA, FCBC is subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve Board and required to file periodic reports regarding its operations and any additional information that the Federal Reserve Board may require.

The BHCA generally limits the activities of a bank holding company to banking, managing or controlling banks, furnishing services to or performing services for its subsidiaries and engaging in any other activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be so closely related to banking or to managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident to those activities. In addition, the BHCA requires every bank holding company to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board prior to acquiring substantially all the assets of any bank, acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of a bank or merging or consolidating with another bank holding company.

Privacy Provisions of Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley act, federal banking regulators adopted rules that limit the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose non-public information about consumers to non-affiliated third parties. These rules contain extensive provisions on a customer’s right to privacy of non-public personal information. Except in certain cases, an institution may not provide personal information to unaffiliated third parties unless the institution discloses that such information may be disclosed and the customer is given the opportunity to opt out of such disclosure. The privacy provisions of the GLB Act affect how consumer information is conveyed to outside vendors. FCBC and its subsidiaries are also subject to certain state laws that deal with the use and distribution of non-public personal information.

Interstate Banking and Branching. Prior to enactment of the Interstate Banking and Branch Efficiency Act of 1994, neither FCBC nor its subsidiaries could acquire banks outside Ohio, unless the laws of the state in which the target bank was located specifically authorized the transaction. The Interstate Banking and Branch Efficiency Act has eased restrictions on interstate expansion and consolidation of banking operations by, among other things: (i) permitting interstate bank acquisitions regardless of host state laws, (ii) permitting interstate merger of banks unless specific states have opted out of this provision and (iii) permitting banks to establish new branches outside the state provided the law of the host state specifically allows interstate bank branching.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The FDIC is an independent federal agency which insures the deposits of federally-insured banks and savings associations up to certain prescribed limits and safeguards the safety and soundness of financial institutions. The deposits of FCBC’s bank subsidiary are subject to the deposit insurance assessments of the Bank Insurance Fund of the FDIC. Under the FDIC’s deposit insurance assessment system, the assessment rate for any insured institution may vary according to regulatory capital levels of the institution and other factors such as supervisory evaluations.

The FDIC is authorized to prohibit any insured institution from engaging in any activity that poses a serious threat to the insurance fund and may initiate enforcement actions against banks, after first giving

5

the institution’s primary regulatory authority an opportunity to take such action. The FDIC may also terminate the deposit insurance of any institution that has engaged in or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, order or condition imposed by the FDIC.

Capital Guidelines. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines to evaluate the adequacy of capital of bank holding companies and state member banks. The guidelines involve a process of assigning various risk weights to different classes of assets, then evaluating the sum of the risk-weighted balance sheet structure against the holding company’s capital base. Failure to meet capital guidelines could subject a banking institution to various penalties, including termination of FDIC deposit insurance. Both FCBC and its subsidiary bank had risk-based capital ratios above “well capitalized” requirements at December 31, 2007.

Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act requires depository institutions to assist in meeting the credit needs of their market areas, including low and moderate-income areas, consistent with safe and sound banking practice. Under this Act, each institution is required to adopt a statement for each of its marketing areas describing the depositary institution’s efforts to assist in its community’s credit needs. Depositary institutions are periodically examined for compliance and assigned ratings. Banking regulators consider these ratings when considering approval of a proposed transaction by an institution.

USA Patriot Act of 2001. Further regulations may arise from the events of September 11, 2001, such as the USA Patriot Act of 2001 which grants law enforcement officials greater powers over financial institutions to combat money laundering and terrorist access to the financial system in our country. The USA Patriot Act requires that the Corporation, upon request from the appropriate federal banking agency, provide records related to anti-money laundering, perform due diligence for private banking and correspondent accounts, establish standards for verifying customer identity and perform other related duties.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 contains important new requirements for public companies in the area of financial disclosure and corporate governance. In accordance with section 302(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, written certifications by FCBC’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are required. These certifications attest that FCBC’s quarterly and annual reports filed with the SEC do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. See Item 9(a) “Controls and Procedures” of this Form 10-K for FCBC’s evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures.

Regulation of Bank Subsidiary

In addition to regulation of FCBC, the banking subsidiary is subject to federal regulation regarding such matters as reserves, limitations on the nature and amount of loans and investments, issuance or retirement of its own securities, limitations on the payment of dividends and other aspects of banking operations.

As an Ohio chartered bank, FCBC’s banking subsidiary, Citizens, is supervised and regulated by the State of Ohio Department of Commerce, Division of Financial Institutions. In addition, Citizens is a member of the Federal Reserve System. Citizens is subject to periodic examinations by the State of Ohio Department of Commerce, Division of Financial Institutions and Citizens is additionally subject to periodic examinations by the Federal Reserve Board. These examinations are designed primarily for the protection of the depositors of the bank and not for their shareholders.

The deposits of Citizens are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund of the FDIC, and Citizens is subject to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Pursuant to the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, a subsidiary of a financial holding company may be required to reimburse the FDIC for any loss incurred due to the default of another FDIC insured subsidiary of the financial holding company or for FDIC assistance provided to such a subsidiary in danger of default. “Default” means generally the

6

appointment of a conservator or receiver. “In danger of default” means generally the existence of certain conditions indicating that a default is likely to occur in the absence.

Effects of Government Monetary Policy

The earnings of the subsidiary bank are affected by general and local economic conditions and by the policies of various governmental regulatory authorities. In particular, the Federal Reserve Board regulates money and credit conditions and interest rates to influence general economic conditions, primarily through open market acquisitions or dispositions of United States Government securities, varying the discount rate on member bank borrowings and setting reserve requirements against member and nonmember bank deposits. Federal Reserve Board monetary policies have had a significant effect on the interest income and interest expense of commercial banks, including Citizens, and are expected to continue to do so in the future.

Future Regulatory Uncertainty

Federal regulation of financial institutions changes regularly and is the subject of constant legislative debate. As a result, FCBC cannot forecast how federal regulation of financial institutions may change in the future or the impact that any such regulatory changes would have on the financial condition or results of operations of FCBC or any of its subsidiaries.

Commercial loans are those made for commercial, industrial and professional purposes to sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations and other business enterprises. Agricultural loans are for financing agricultural production, including all costs associated with growing crops or raising livestock. Commercial and Agricultural loans may be secured, other than by real estate, or unsecured, requiring one single repayment or on an installment repayment schedule. The loans involve certain risks relating to changes in local and national economic conditions and the resulting effect on the borrowing entities. Secured loans not collateralized by real estate mortgages maintain a loan-to-value ratio ranging from 50% as in the case of certain stocks, to 100% in the case of collateralizing with a savings or time deposit account. Unsecured credits rely on the financial strength and previous credit experience of the borrower and in many cases the financial strength of the principals when such credit is extended to a corporation.

9

Commercial real estate mortgage loans are made predicated on having a security interest in real property and are secured wholly or substantially by that lien on real property. Commercial real estate mortgage loans generally maintain a loan-to-value ratio of 75%.

Residential real estate mortgage loans are made predicated on security interest in real property and secured wholly or substantially by that lien on real property. Such real estate mortgage loans are primarily loans secured by one-to-four family real estate. Residential real estate mortgage loans generally pose less risk to the Corporation due to the nature of the collateral being less susceptible to sudden changes in value.

Real estate construction loans are for the construction of new buildings or additions to existing buildings. Generally, these loans are secured by one-to-four family real estate. The Corporation controls disbursements in connection with construction loans.

Consumer loans are made to individuals for household, family and other personal expenditures. These include the purchase of vehicles, furniture, educational expenses, medical expenses, taxes or vacation expenses. Consumer loans may be secured, other than by real estate, or unsecured, generally requiring repayment on an installment repayment schedule. Consumer loans pose a relatively higher credit risk. This higher risk is moderated by the use of certain loan value limits on secured credits and aggressive collection efforts. The collectibility of consumer loans is influenced by local and national economic conditions.

Lease loans are made for commercial, industrial and professional purposes. These loans are made to sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, and other business enterprises.

Letters of credit represent extensions of credit granted in the normal course of business, which are not reflected in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Corporation was contingently liable for $1,582,000 and $3,864,000 of letters of credit. In addition, Citizens had issued lines of credit to customers. Borrowings under such lines of credit are usually for the working capital needs of the borrower. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, Citizens had commitments to extend credit in the aggregate amounts of approximately $121,652,000 and $86,616,000, respectively. Of these amounts, $110,259,000 and $75,436,000 represented lines of credit and construction loans, and $11,393,000 and $11,180,000 represented overdraft protection commitments. Such amounts represent the portion of total commitments that had not been used by customers as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.

There are no loans as of December 31, 2007, other than those disclosed above, where known information about probable credit problems of borrowers caused management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such

11

borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms. There are no other interest-bearing assets that would be required to be disclosed in the table above, if such assets were loans as of December 31, 2007.

(1)	Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when doubt exists as to the collectibility of the loan, including any accrued interest. With a few immaterial exceptions, commercial and agricultural, commercial real estate, residential real estate and construction loans past due 90 days are placed on nonaccrual unless they are well collateralized and in the process of collection. Generally, consumer loans are charged-off within 30 days after becoming past due 90 days unless they are well collateralized and in the process of collection. Credit card loans are charged-off before reaching 120 days of delinquency. Once a loan is placed on nonaccrual, interest is then recognized on a cash basis where future collections of principal is probable.
(2)	Excludes loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis.
(3)	Excludes loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis and loans contractually past due ninety days or more as to principal or interest payments.

Interest income recognition associated with impaired loans was as follows.

Ratio of net charge-offs during the year to average loans outstanding		0.52	%		0.42	%		0.66	%		0.43	%		0.44	%

(1)

The amount of net charge-offs fluctuates from year to year due to factors relating to the condition of the general economy and specific business.

(2)

The determination of the balance of the allowance for loan losses is based on an analysis of the loan portfolio and reflects an amount that, in management’s judgment, is adequate to provide for probable incurred loan losses. Such analysis is based on a review of specific loans, the character of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and such other factors as management believes require current recognition in estimating probable incurred loan losses.

First Citizens Banc Corp’s banking subsidiary measures the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses by using both specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful. The general component consists of a pooling of commercial credits risk graded as special mention and substandard that are not individually examined, and general reserves, which are based on a rolling average of historical net charge-offs. The allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans decreased from 1.45% in 2006 to 0.93% in 2007. The unallocated reserve of First Citizens Banc Corp and its affiliates has increased from $236 in 2006 to $916 in 2007. The acquisition of Futura and its reserves contributed to the increase in the unallocated reserve. Factors in the determination of the unallocated reserve include items such as changes in the economic and business conditions of its market, changes in lending policies and procedures, changes in loan concentrations, as well as a few others. In 2007, compared to 2006, these factors worsened in the aggregate, resulting in an increase of the unallocated reserves.

As the loan portfolio continues to shift towards more real estate loans, the allocation of the reserve to these loans has also grown slightly. Consumer loss allocation increased in 2007. Although the volume of this piece of the loan portfolio decreased, the credit quality of these loans has worsened over the past few years, which is evidenced by increased net charge-offs.

Deposits

Information required by this section is incorporated by reference to the information appearing under the caption “Five-Year Selected Consolidated Financial Data” located on page 1 and 2 of First Citizens Banc Corp’s 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders. The dividend payout ratio was 89.6% in 2007, 100.0% in 2006 and 97.4% in 2005.

Short-term Borrowings

See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements (located at page 52 of the Annual Report to Shareholders) and “Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity, Interest Rates and Interest Differential” (located at pages 14 and 16 of the Annual Report to Shareholders) for the statistical disclosures for short-term borrowings for 2007, 2006, and 2005.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

CHANGING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND THE GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION OF OUR MARKETS MAY UNFAVORABLY IMPACT US.

Our operations are concentrated in eleven counties in North/Central and Central Ohio. As a result of this geographic concentration in contiguous markets, our results depend largely upon economic conditions in these market areas. A deterioration in economic conditions in one or more of these markets could result in one or more of the following:

- an increase in loan delinquencies;

- an increase in problem assets and foreclosures;

- a decrease in the demand for our products and services; and

- a decrease in the value of collateral for loans, especially real estate, in turn reducing customers’ borrowing power, the value of assets associated with problem loans and collateral coverage.

16

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO MANAGE INTEREST RATE RISKS, WHICH COULD REDUCE OUR NET INTEREST INCOME.

Our results of operations are affected principally by net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest expense paid on deposits and other borrowings. We cannot predict or control changes in interest rates. Regional and local economic conditions and the policies of regulatory authorities, including monetary policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, affect interest income and interest expense. We have ongoing policies and procedures designed to manage the risks from changes in market interest rates. However, changes in interest rates can still have a material adverse effect on the our profitability.

In addition, certain assets and liabilities may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. For example, interest rates on some types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate prior to changes in broader market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind. Some of our assets, such as adjustable rate mortgages, have features that restrict changes in their interest rates, including rate caps.

Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control. Some of these factors include:

- inflation;

- recession;

- unemployment;

- money supply;

- international disorders; and

- instability in domestic and foreign financial markets.

Changes in interest rates may affect the level of voluntary prepayments on the Corporation’s loans and may also affect the level of financing or refinancing by customers. Although the Corporation pursues an asset-liability management strategy designed to control its risk from changes in market interest rates, changes in interest rates can still have a material adverse effect on its profitability.

STRONG COMPETITION WITHIN OUR MARKET AREA MAY REDUCE OUR ABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN DEPOSITS AND ORIGINATE LOANS.

We face competition both in originating loans and in attracting deposits. We compete for clients by offering excellent service and competitive rates on our loans and deposit products. The type of institutions we compete with include large regional financial institutions, community banks, thrifts and credit unions operating within the Corporation’s market area. A growing nontraditional source of competition for loan and deposit dollars comes from captive auto finance companies, mortgage banking companies, internet banks, brokerage companies, insurance companies and direct mutual funds. As a result of their size and ability to achieve economies of scale, certain of our competitors offer a broader range of products and services than we offer. In addition, to stay competitive in our markets we may need to adjust the interest rates on our products to match the rates offered by our competitors, which could adversely affect our net interest margin. As a result, our profitability depends upon our continued ability to successfully compete in our market areas while achieving our investment objectives.

17

OUR ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE OPERATIONS OF FUTURA BANC CORP. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

The earnings, financial condition and prospects of The Corporation after the merger will depend in part on The Corporation’s ability to integrate successfully the operations of Futura and its subsidiaries and to continue to implement its own business plan. The Corporation may not be able to achieve fully the strategic objectives and operating efficiencies in the merger. The costs or difficulties relating to the integration of Futura and its subsidiaries with The Corporation’s organization may be greater than expected or the cost savings from any anticipated economies of scale of the combined organization may be lower or take longer to realize than expected. Inherent uncertainties exist in integrating the operations of any acquired entity. In addition, the markets and industries in which The Corporation and Futura and their respective subsidiaries operate are highly competitive. The Corporation may lose its customers or the customers of Futura and its subsidiaries as a result of the merger. The Corporation may also lose key personnel, either from itself or from Futura and its subsidiaries, as a result of the merger. These factors could contribute to The Corporation not fully achieving the expected benefits from the merger.
