Balance Sheet

Citizens' total assets as of March 31, 2002, were $7.482 billion, compared to $7.679 billion at December December: see month.  31, 2001, a decrease of 2.6%. Total loans declined $200 million from year end as Citizens continued to sell current mortgage production into the secondary market during this low interest rate environment. Lower total asset balances compared to first quarter of 2001 primarily reflect Citizens' restructuring efforts and reduced loan demand from a soft economy. "During a time when many companies' accounting practices are being questioned, it is important to point out that Citizens has no off-balance sheet special purpose entities, no unconsolidated subsidiaries, limited other off-balance sheet exposure and no material derivative derivative: see calculus.
