"As a result of the continued economic slowness and the fraud related losses we experienced in the fourth and first quarters, we conducted a thorough review of our commercial loan portfolio which has included collateral collateral (kəlăt`ərəl), something of value given or pledged as security for payment of a loan.

However, Citizens has, in several situations, chosen to exit a lending relationship with a client, principally due to their unwillingness to amend or upgrade internal reporting. Citizens expects to complete the analysis of these 162 field examinations within the third quarter. Regular audits of receivable and inventory collateral will remain a standard practice going forward.

The second quarter provision for loan losses of $25.7 million represented a 35.1% increase over the first quarter of 2003, and resulted from risk rating downgrades in the commercial portfolio which drove additional formula reserves. In addition to the collateral field audits, Citizens conducted a review of higher risk "pass" rated credits to confirm risk ratings of these loans.

Balance Sheet

Citizens' total assets at June 30, 2003 were $7.786 billion, an increase of $21.0 million or 0.27% compared with March 31, 2003 and an increase of $264 million or 3.5% compared with December December: see month.  31, 2002. Although total assets at June 30, 2003 were virtually unchanged from March 31, 2003 levels, average assets for the second quarter increased $355 million from first quarter 2003 levels. Total average assets increased as Citizens expanded its investment securities portfolio beginning near the end of the first quarter to offset the effects of weak loan demand and the prospect of net interest margin pressure from continued low interest rates. Loans declined $16 million or 0.3% from March 31, 2003 and $146 million or 2.7% compared with December 31, 2002. The decline in loans from year-end year-end also year·end

Consumer loans increased $74 million or 4.9% at June 30, 2003 compared to December 31, 2002 due to the success of the home equity campaign. Home equity loans increased 13.2% from year-end 2002 (a 26.5% annualized annualized

 growth rate) and comprised $73 million of the $74 million increase in consumer loans. A $19 million increase in indirect consumer loans at June 30, 2003 compared with year end 2002 was largely offset by an $18 million decrease in other direct (non-home equity) loans.

"Our recent home equity line of credit campaign has been very successful producing account originations at a rate more than two times normal for such loans.

Total deposits decreased $277 million to $5.660 billion at June 30, 2003 compared with $5.937 billion at December 31, 2002. The decline in deposits occurred largely within time deposits, and to a lesser extent, savings deposits Savings deposits

 as clients sought higher yielding investment alternatives in the low interest rate environment. In the second quarter of 2003 Citizens began a marketing campaign promoting its "Perfect Fit" checking account products to increase growth in interest bearing and non-interest bearing checking accounts. Initial results have been very favorable with new account openings double the normal rate.

Net Interest Margin and Net Interest Income

Net interest margin declined to 4.17% in the second quarter of 2003 compared to 4.33% in the first quarter of 2003 and 4.45% in the second quarter of 2002. The decrease in net interest margin in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the first quarter is related to Citizens' asset-sensitive interest rate risk position and the continued low interest rate environment. The low level of interest rates is generating increased refinancing of fixed rate commercial loans and high mortgage loan and mortgage-related investment securities prepayments Prepayments

") interest rates than existing loans in the consumer portfolio has contributed to the decline in net interest margin. The second quarter 2003 net interest margin was also affected by Citizens' strategy to expand the investment portfolio beginning late in the first quarter of 2003.

 with average lives of three to five years and an average duration of two to four years, resulting in interest spreads up to 250 basis points over funding sources. This increased net interest income yet reduced the net interest margin percentage in the second quarter.

Net interest margin declined to 4.25% from 4.45% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period of the prior year. The decline in net interest margin for the six month period compared to the prior year was due to a four basis point decline in the net interest spread and a 16 basis point decline in the contribution of net noninterest bearing funding sources (noninterest bearing liabilities and shareholders' equity Shareholders' Equity

For the first six months of 2003, net interest income declined $5.9 million due to a .20% decline in net interest margin partially offset by an increase in earning assets.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2003 was $24.8 million, a decrease of $5.8 million or 18.8% from the second quarter of 2002. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $48.1 million compared to $55.3 million in the first six months of 2002, a decrease of $7.2 million or 13.0%.

 mortgages also contributed to the decline. Higher deposit service charges and mortgage banking revenue partially offset the decline. Compared to the first quarter of 2003, noninterest income increased $1.6 million or 6.7% reflecting increases in all major categories including deposit service charges, trust fees, mortgage and other loan income, and brokerage and investment fees.

Service charges on deposit accounts were up $1.0 million for both the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002. The increase reflected higher overdraft A check that is drawn on an account containing less money than the amount stated on the check.

The term overdraft is also used in reference to the condition that exists when vouchers

"Last year we began an extensive review of the consumer bank business line, assisted by banking industry consultants. The recommendations that have been implemented are resulting in significant increases in fee income from service charges on deposit accounts as well as a reduction in expense for staffing and other costs of operations," Schaeffer remarked.

Bankcard fees declined $1.1 million or 57.8% for the quarter and $3.1 million or 67.0% for the first six months of 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002. The decline in both periods resulted from the sale of the merchant services business in the second quarter of 2002.

Trust fees for the quarter, decreased $0.7 million, or 14.0% compared to the second quarter of 2002 and were down $1.3 million or 13.6% in the first six months of 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002. These fees are based primarily on the market value of assets under administration. Trust fees declined since the second quarter of 2002 principally as a result of the decline in the equity markets. Trust fee revenue, however, grew by $104,000 or 2.5% in the second quarter of 2003 over the first quarter of 2003 due primarily to the recent improvement in the equity markets. Total trust assets under administration were $2.62 billion at June 30, 2003, down $112 million from June 30, 2002, but up $142 million from March 31, 2003.

Brokerage and investment fees declined $0.7 million or 27.3% for the quarter and $1.0 million or 21.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same periods of 2002. The decline reflects slower retail sales of fixed annuity Fixed Annuity

Mortgage and other loan income increased $2.5 million or 88.3% in the second quarter of 2003 and $3.7 million or 53.2% in the first half of 2003 compared to the same period of 2002 due to higher mortgage banking revenue. The increase in mortgage banking revenue was primarily due to higher gains on the sale of mortgage loans and the related servicing rights. A strong mortgage origination market, spurred by low mortgage interest rates, helped push total mortgage originations to $490 million in the second quarter, compared with $350 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $228 million in the second quarter of 2002. The majority of all new mortgage loan origination The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject.

 along with the related servicing was sold in the secondary market.

Other noninterest income was up $1.0 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively compared to the same periods of 2002, principally due to an increase in life insurance income and title insurance fees. Higher life insurance income reflects the purchase of $78 million of separate account bank owned life insurance in the third quarter of 2002. Title insurance fees increased due to higher mortgage origination volume.

Citizens currently expects a decrease in noninterest income for 2003 as compared to 2002 due primarily to sale of the merchant services business in 2002. The gain of $5.4 million recorded in 2002 for this sale, as well as the loss of revenue from the business, is expected to decrease noninterest income by approximately $8.7 million in 2003. Based on the current economic and interest rate environment, the remaining components of noninterest income are anticipated to increase slightly on a collective basis in 2003 over full year 2002 levels.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the second quarter was $56.4 million compared to $61.5 million for the second quarter of 2002 and $56.6 million for the first quarter of 2003, a decline of $5.1 million or 8.4% from the second quarter of 2002 and $0.2 million or 0.4% from first quarter 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, total noninterest expense decreased $9.8 million or 8.0% to $112.9 million compared to the same period in 2002. The decline in both the three and six month periods reflected decreases in nearly all the major components of noninterest expense partially offset by an increase in professional services (job) professional services - A department of a supplier providing consultancy and programming manpower for the supplier's products. .

Salaries and employee benefits decreased $0.4 million or 1.4% for the quarter and $2.5 million or 4.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same periods of 2002. Salary and benefit costs were down due to the restructuring restructuring - The transformation from one representation form to another at the same relative abstraction level, while preserving the subject system's external behaviour (functionality and semantics).  initiatives announced during the third quarter of 2002, which included branch closures and reduced staff.

Equipment expenses decreased $1.1 million or 21.9% for the quarter, and $1.8 million or 18.1% for the six month period ended June 30, 2003, compared to the same periods of 2002, as a result of lower depreciation expense and improved pricing from new or renegotiated maintenance contracts.

Bankcard expense declined $1.5 million or 94.2% for the quarter and $3.5 million or 95.0% for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same periods of 2002 due to the sale of Citizens' merchant services business in the second quarter of 2002.

Professional services increased $0.6 million or 18.0% for the quarter and $1.5 million or 23.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to the same periods of 2002 as a result of higher legal costs related to loan collection efforts, recruiting fees, and costs associated with engagement of banking industry consultants assisting in the restructuring and line of business focus.

Other noninterest expense decreased $1.0 million, or 11.8% for the quarter and $2.1 million or 13.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002 due to declines in telephone, stationery The term for boilerplate in the Eudora mail client, starting with Version 3.0.
