                     CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                  For the nine months ended September 30, 2002

1.     These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
       accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
       States of America. However, these financial statements do not include all
       of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
       accounting principles for complete financial statements. The interim
       consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all
       adjustments and reclassifications which, in the opinion of management,
       are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and
       financial condition of the interim period. All adjustments and
       reclassifications are of a normal and recurring nature. Results for the
       periods ending September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the
       results that may be expected for any other interim periods or for the
       year as a whole.

       The interim consolidated financial statements of Citizens Holding Company
       include the accounts of its 97.44% owned subsidiary, The Citizens Bank of
       Philadelphia (collectively referred to as "the Corporation"). All
       significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
       consolidation.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. See note 1 of the Notes to
       Consolidated Financial Statements of the Citizens Holding Company that
       were included in the Form 10-K Annual Report filed March 28, 2002.

       Investment Securities - The Corporation classifies all of its securities
       as available-for-sale and carries them at fair value with unrealized
       gains or losses reported as a separate component of capital, net of any
       applicable income taxes. Realized gains or losses on the sale of
       securities available-for-sale, if any, are determined on an
       identification basis. The Corporation does not have any securities
       classified as Held for Trading or Held to Maturity.

3.     In May 2002, the Corporation acquired CB&T Capital Corporation, a
       one-bank holding company, whose wholly-owned subsidiary was Citizens Bank
       & Trust Company in Louisville, MS. The acquisition was undertaken by the
       Corporation in order to gain entry into a geographic section of the state
       of Mississippi that is contiguous to the Corporation's current markets
       and in which the Corporation had very little market presence. The
       purchase price of the net assets totaled approximately $12.3 million cash
       and was based on a multiple of approximately 1.505 times the book value,
       subject to certain adjustments, of the acquired company. The Corporation
       based its purchase price on several factors, including comparable
       transactions and management's estimate of the value of entry into a
       strategically targeted geographic area.

       The follow is a summary of the assets and liabilities acquired:

                                                     (000's omitted)

                                                              ================

         The Corporation has completed its evaluation of the assets and
         liabilities acquired and has allocated $1,846,909 of the $4,380,869
         total intangible asset to core deposit intangibles and the remaining
         $2,533,960 to goodwill. The core deposit intangible is to be amortized
         at the rate of $15,391 per month until fully amortized, representing an
         estimated economic life of 10 years. The amount of core deposit
         amortization expense related to the Louisville purchase was $61,564
         year to date at September 30, 2002. The operations of CB&T Capital
         Corporation are included in the consolidated financial statements since
         the acquisition date. The pro forma effect, had the acquisition
         occurred on January 1, 2002, is not significant to the operation of the
         Corporation

         In July 2001, the Corporation completed the acquisition of two bank
         branches located in Forest and Decatur, Mississippi from Union Planters
         Bank. The Corporation acquired approximately $30.3 million in deposits,
         $11.7 million in loans, and $15.4 million in cash and short-term
         investments. The $2.5 million premium paid by the Corporation was
         allocated primarily to a core deposit intangible asset.

         Total amortization expense related to the core deposit intangible
         assets for the period ended September 30, 2002 was $149,767 and
         $326,173 for the three and nine month periods.

4.       In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation enters into
         commitments to extend credit to its customers. The unused portion of
         these commitments is not reflected in the accompanying financial
         statements. As of September 30, 2002, the Corporation had entered into
         commitments with certain customers that had an unused balance of
         $23,351,992 compared to $12,155,738 unused at December 31,

<PAGE>

       2001. There were $481,350 of letters of credit outstanding at September
       30, 2002 and $444,500 at December 31, 2001.

5.     Net income per share - Basic, has been computed based on the weighted
       average number of shares outstanding during each period. Net income per
       share - Diluted, has been computed based on the weighted average number
       of shares outstanding during each period plus the dilutive effect of
       outstanding granted options. Basic weighted average shares have been
       adjusted to reflect the five-for-one stock split on the common stock
       effective January 1, 1999 and the three-for-two stock split that was
       effective January 2, 2002. Earnings per share were computed as follows:

6.     The Corporation is a party to lawsuits and other claims that arise in the
       ordinary course of business, which are being vigorously contested. In the
       regular course of business, Management evaluates estimated losses or
       costs related to litigation, and the provision is made for anticipated
       losses whenever Management believes that such losses are probable and can
       be reasonably estimated. At the present time, Management believes, based
       on the advice of legal counsel, that the final resolution of pending
       legal proceedings will not have a material impact on the Corporation's
       consolidated financial position or results of operations.

7.     In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
       No. 141 "Business Combinations" and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and
       other Intangible Assets". FAS No. 141 requires that all business
       combinations entered into after June 30, 2001 be accounted for under the
       purchase method. FAS No. 142 requires that all intangible assets,
       including goodwill, that result from business combinations be
       periodically (at least annually) evaluated for impairment, with any
       resulting impairment loss being charged against earnings. Also, under FAS
       No. 142, goodwill resulting from any business combination accounted for
       according to FAS No. 141 is not amortized, and the amortization of
       goodwill related to business combinations entered into prior to June 30,
       2001 is discontinued effective, January 1, 2002. The Corporation adopted
       the provisions of FAS No. 141 on July 1, 2001, and the provisions of FAS
       No. 142 related to

<PAGE>

       discontinuation of goodwill amortization effective January 1, 2002.
       Goodwill amortization expense for the three and nine-month periods ended
       September 30, 2002 was not material.

       In June 2001, the FASB issued Standard No. 143 related to accounting for
       asset retirement obligations. The new standard establishes accounting
       standards for recognition and measurement of a liability for an asset
       retirement obligation and associated asset retirement cost. The standard
       is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Adoption of
       this statement will not have a material effect on the Corporation's
       financial statements.

       In August 2001, the FASB issued Standard No. 144 related to accounting
       for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The standard
       establishes specific accounting standards related to long-lived assets to
       be held and used, sold, or abandoned and those to be disposed of by
       exchange for similar assets or distributed to owners. The standard is
       effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2001. Adoption of
       this standard by the company is not expected to have a material effect on
       the Corporation's financial statements.

       In October 2002, the FASB issued Standard No. 147 related to Acquisitions
       of Certain Financial Institutions. The standard clarifies the
       requirements of Standards No. 141 and 142 as they relate to business
       combinations between financial institutions and makes the provisions of
       Standard No. 144 applicable to long-term customer relationship intangible
       assets. The standard is effective for transactions on or after October 1,
       2002. Adopting the standard by the Corporation is not expected to have a
       material effect on the Corporation's financial statements.

                     CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
            ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management's discussion and analysis is written to provide greater insight into
the results of operations and the financial condition of Citizens Holding
Company and its 97.44% owned subsidiary, The Citizens Bank of Philadelphia
(collectively, the Corporation").

LIQUIDITY

The Corporation has an asset and liability management program that assists
management in maintaining net interest margins during times of both rising and
falling interest rates and in maintaining sufficient liquidity. Liquidity of the
Corporation at September 30, 2002 was 79.34%, at December 31, 2001 was 50.51%
and at September 30, 2001 was 51.18%. Liquidity is the ratio of net deposits and
short-term liabilities divided by net cash, short-term investments and
marketable assets. Management believes it maintains adequate liquidity for the
Corporation's current needs.

When the Corporation has more funds than it needs for its reserve requirements
or short-term liquidity needs, the Corporation increases its security
investments or sells federal funds. It is management's policy to maintain an
adequate portion of its portfolio of assets and liabilities on a short-term
basis to insure rate flexibility and to meet loan funding and liquidity needs.
The Corporation has secured and unsecured federal funds lines with correspondent
banks in the amount of $38,500,000. In addition, the Corporation has the ability
to draw on its line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank in excess of
$143,466,850 at September 30, 2002. At September 30, 2002, the Corporation had
unused and available $38,500,000 of its federal funds line of credit and
$118,703,763 of its line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Corporation's equity capital was $53,204,447 at September 30, 2002. The main
source of capital for the Corporation has been the retention of net income.

On January 1, 1999, the Corporation issued a five-for-one (5:1) split to the
shareholders of the Corporation. This split increased the number of shares
outstanding to 3,308,750 from 661,750. The number of shares authorized increased
from 750,000 to 3,750,000 after the split. Additionally, the shareholders
approved an increase in authorized shares to 15,000,000 at the annual meeting
held April 13, 1999.

On January 2, 2002, the Corporation issued a three-for-two (3:2) split to the
shareholders of the Corporation. This split increased the number of outstanding
shares to 4,963,028 and increased the authorized shares from 15,000,000 to
22,500,000. Cash dividends in the amount of $1,885,951 or $0.38 per share were
paid year to date September 30, 2002.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Corporation to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier
1 capital

<PAGE>

(primarily common stock and retained earnings, less goodwill) to risk weighted
assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes that as of
September 30, 2002, the Corporation meets all capital adequacy requirements to
which it is subject.

Net Income Per Share - Basic is calculated using weighted average number of
shares outstanding for the period. Net Income Per Share - Diluted is calculated
using the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period, plus the
net dilutive effect of granted stock options determined using the treasury stock
method.

Annualized return on average equity (ROE) was 12.45% and 12.93% and for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, and 12.95% and 12.76% for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001.

The book value per share increased to $10.72 at September 30, 2002 compared to
$9.51 at December 31, 2001. This increase is due to earnings exceeding dividends
paid during this period. Average assets for the nine months ended September 30,
2002, were $482,389,842 compared to $403,881,314 for the year ended December 31,
2001, and average equity increased to $51,393,933 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, from $47,663,502 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The
increase in average assets is due to the acquisition of the Union Planters
branches in July 2001 and the acquisition of Citizens Bank & Trust Company in
May 2002.

NET INTEREST INCOME/NET INTEREST MARGIN

One component of the Corporation's earnings is net interest income, which is the
difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments and the
interest paid for deposits and borrowed funds. The net interest margin is net
interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets.

The annualized net interest margin was 4.69% for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2002, compared to an annualized net interest margin of 4.15 % and
4.27% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001. Earnings assets
averaged $442,044,168 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This
represented an increase of $78,412,833, or 21.6%, over average earning assets of
$363,631,335 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in
average earning assets results from the July 2001 Union Planters branch
acquisitions, the May 2002 CB&T Capital Corporation acquisition and normal bank
growth.

Net interest income was $5,384,002 and $15,143,240 for the three and nine month
periods in 2002, an increase of $1,402,136 and $3,692,672 respectively over the
same periods in 2001. An increase in loan volume and investments in this period
contributed to this increase. A lower cost of deposits and other borrowed funds
during 2002 over the same period in 2001 also contributed to the increase in Net
Interest Income. Income from investment securities increased in the nine month
period in 2002 as a result of both an increase in the principal balance of
investment securities and a shift in the mix of investments from lower yielding
U. S. Treasury Securities into higher yield mortgage backed products.

<PAGE>

The added liquidity that resulted from the acquisition of the two Union Planters
Bank branches in the third quarter of 2001, together with a general increase in
deposits, permitted the Corporation to pay off a large portion of it borrowings
from the Federal Home Loan Bank, significantly decreasing interest expense on
other borrowings.

Other interest income decreased in the three and nine month periods due to a
decrease in the interest rates on Federal Funds Sold.

The following table shows the interest and fees and corresponding yields for
loans only.

The decreases in rates in the three and nine month periods reflect the decrease
in all loan rates for both new and refinanced loans in the corresponding
periods.

CREDIT LOSS EXPERIENCE

As a natural corollary to the Corporation's lending activities, some loan losses
are to be expected. The risk of loss varies with the type of loan being made and
the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan. The degree of
perceived risk is taken into account in establishing the structure of, and
interest rates and security for, specific loans and for various types of loans.
The Corporation attempts to minimize its credit risk exposure by use of thorough
loan application and approval procedures.

The Corporation maintains a program of systematic review of its existing loans.
Loans are graded for their overall quality. Those loans which the Corporation's
management determines require further monitoring and supervision are segregated
and reviewed on a periodic basis. Significant problem loans are reviewed on a
monthly basis by the Corporation's Board of Directors.

The Corporation charges off that portion of any loan which management considers
to represent a loss. A loan is generally considered by management to represent a
loss in whole or in part when an exposure beyond the collateral value is
apparent, servicing of the unsecured portion has been discontinued or collection
is not anticipated based on the borrower's financial condition and general
economic conditions in the borrower's industry. The principal amount of any loan
which is declared a loss is charged against the Corporation's allowance for loan
losses.

The Corporation's allowance for loan losses is designed to provide for loan
losses which can be reasonably anticipated. The allowance for loan losses is
established through charges to operating expenses in the form of provisions for
loan losses. Actual loan

<PAGE>

losses or recoveries are charged or credited to the allowance for loan losses.
The amount of the allowance is determined by management of the Corporation.
Among the factors considered in determining the allowance for loan losses are
the current financial condition of the Corporation's borrowers and the value of
security, if any, for their loans. Estimates of future economic conditions and
their impact on various industries and individual borrowers are also taken into
consideration, as are the Corporation's historical loan loss experience and
reports of banking regulatory authorities. Because these estimates, factors and
evaluations are primarily judgmental, no assurance can be given as to whether or
not the Corporation will sustain loan losses in excess or below its allowance or
that subsequent evaluation of the loan portfolio may not require material
increases or decreases in such allowance.

The following table summarizes the Corporation's allowance for loan losses for
the dates indicated:

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was
$336,791, an increase of $162,540 or 93.3% over the $174,251 for the same period
in 2001. The provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was
$1,006,605, an increase of $263,194 or 35.4% over the $743,411 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in the provision was made to bring
the allowance back to the desired level after the net charge-offs for these
periods. The allowance for loan losses was increased $856,583 as a result of the
acquisition of Citizens Bank & Trust Company. This addition to the allowance for
loan losses was made to reflect estimated loan losses as of the acquisition
date. This is in addition to the $1,006,605 that was added to the allowance as a
part of normal operations.

For the three months ended September 30, 2002, net loan losses charged to
allowance for loan losses totaled $336,791, an increase of $162,540 over the
same period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, net loan
losses charged to the allowance for loan losses totaled $1,006,605, an increase
of $263,194 over the same period in 2001. Increased net losses in consumer
loans, commercial and industrial loans and 1-4 family housing accounted for the
majority of the increased net loss in the three and nine month period.

<PAGE>

Management of the Corporation reviews with the Board of Directors the adequacy
of the allowance for possible loan losses on a quarterly basis. The loan loss
provision is adjusted when specific items reflect a need for such an adjustment.
Management believes that there were no material loan losses during the last nine
months that have not been charged off. Management also believes that the
Corporation's allowance will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in
the Corporation's loan portfolio. However, in light of overall economic
conditions in the Corporation's geographic area and the nation as a whole, it is
possible that additional provisions for loan loss may be required.

OTHER INCOME

Other operating income includes service charges on deposit accounts, wire
transfer fees, safe deposit box rentals and other revenue not derived from
interest on earning assets.

Other operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased
$87,484 or 8.2% over the same period in 2001 and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, increased $108,478, or 3.5% over the same period in 2001.
The increase in both the three-month and nine-month period was the result of
increased overdraft, returned check income and other service charges and
mortgage loan origination income.

OTHER EXPENSE

Other expenses include salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment,
and other operating expenses. Other expenses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2002 were $3,721,183 and $10,128,377 compared to the $2,532,598
and $7,354,175 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 for an
increase of $1,188,585 and $2,774,202 respectively. Salaries and benefits
increased to $1,903,613 and $5,380,510 for the three and nine months in 2002
from $1,428,965 and $4,057,500 for the same periods in 2001, an increase of
$474,648 or 33.2% and $1,323,010 or 32.6% respectively. Both the increase in
Other Expenses as a whole, and salaries and benefits specifically, are the
result of the growth of the Corporation, both from the acquisitions of the Union
Planters branches in July 2001 and Citizens Bank & Trust Company in May 2002 and
internal growth of the deposit base. The Corporation's efficiency ratio for the
three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 was 55.69% and 54.08%
compared to 48.25% and 48.57% for the same periods in 2001.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents are made up of cash, balances at correspondent banks
and federal funds sold. The increase in cash and cash equivalents at September
30, 2002 of $5,023,058 was the result of the addition of the cash required to
operate the three new Citizens Bank & Trust Company branches acquired in May
2002 and an increase in the Due from Bank balances related to large month end
cash letters.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The investment securities are made up of U. S. Treasury Notes, U. S. Agency
debentures, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states, counties and
municipal governments and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. Investments increased
$49,285,588 or 40.2% as a net result of the acquisition of $50.6 million in
investment securities related to the purchase of Citizens Bank & Trust Company
in May 2002 and the use of matured and paid down securities to fund new loans.

LOANS

Loan demand in the Corporation's service area began to strengthen as net loans
increased by $35,436,134 or 13.6% during the nine month period ended September
30, 2002. Of this increase, $15.0 million was acquired with the purchase of
Citizens Bank & Trust Company in May 2002. Residential housing loans continue to
be in demand along with commercial and industrial loans. No special loan
programs were initiated during this period.

The increase is the result of normal deposit growth and the acquisition of $57.9
million in deposits from Citizens Bank & Trust Company. Normal deposit growth
was influenced by the decline in the stock market and the need for more
conservative investments by our depositors. The Corporation does not have any
brokered deposits. There were no special deposit programs or incentives in place
during this period.

                ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
                                ABOUT MARKET RISK

Overview

The definition of market risk is the possibility of loss that could result from
adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Corporation has taken steps to
assess the amount of risk that is associated with its asset and liability
structure. The Corporation measures the potential risk on a regular basis and
makes changes to its strategies to manage these risks. The Corporation does not
participate in some of the financial instruments that are inherently subject to
substantial market risk.

Market/Interest Rate Risk Management

The primary purpose in managing interest rate risk is to effectively invest
capital and preserve the value created by the core banking business. The
Corporation utilizes an investment portfolio to manage the interest rate risk
naturally created through its business activities. The quarterly interest rate
risk report is used to evaluate exposure to interest rate risk, project earnings
and manage the composition of the balance sheet and its growth.

Static gap analysis is also used in measuring interest rate risk. An analysis of
the Corporation's repricing opportunities indicates a negative gap position over
the next three- and twelve -month periods which indicates that the Corporation
would benefit somewhat from a decrease in market interest rates. While interest
rates remained stable during the quarter ended September 30, 2002, during 2001
the Corporation experienced an increased number of called investment securities
related to the decrease in interest rates that occurred throughout 2001. These
called securities generally were re-invested at lower yields. The Corporation's
interest bearing deposit liabilities have been substantially repriced to reflect
the current interest rate environment.

There have been no material change in the Corporation's market risk since the
end of the last fiscal year end of December 31, 2001.

                         ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Corporation carried out
an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in
Rule 13a-14(c) and Rule 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be
included in our periodic SEC reports. There have been no significant changes in
the Corporation's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Corporation carried out its
evaluation.
