NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015

(Unaudited)

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP 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 as of and for the interim periods presented. All adjustments and reclassifications are of a normal and recurring nature. Results for the period ended September 30, 2015 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 wholly-owned subsidiary, The Citizens Bank of Philadelphia (the “Bank” and collectively with Citizens Holding Company, the “Corporation”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

For further information and significant accounting policies of the Corporation, see the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Citizens Holding Company included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2015.

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, 2015, the Corporation had entered into loan commitments with certain customers with an aggregate unused balance of $53,873,059 compared to an aggregate unused balance of $50,242,705 at December 31, 2014. There was $2,860,480 of letters of credit outstanding at September 30, 2015 and $2,855,480 at December 31, 2014. The fair value of such contracts is not considered material because letters of credit and loan commitments often are not used in their entirety, if at all, before they expire. The balances of such letters and commitments should not be used to project actual future liquidity requirements. However, the Corporation does incorporate expectations about the level of draws under its credit-related commitments into its asset and liability management program.

The Corporation is a party to lawsuits and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, all of which are being vigorously contested. In the regular course of business, management evaluates estimated losses or costs related to litigation, and provisions are 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 likely have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

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 stock options using the treasury stock method. Net income per share was computed as follows:

Prior to the adoption of the 2013 Plan, as defined below, the Corporation utilized two stock-based compensation plans, the 1999 Directors’ Stock Compensation Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”) for directors, and prior to its expiration, the 1999 Employees’ Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Employees’ Plan”) for employees.

The following table is a summary of the stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Table of Contents

The intrinsic value of options granted under the Directors’ Plan at September 30, 2015, was $138,030, the intrinsic value of options granted under the Employees’ Plan at September 30, 2015, was $0, and since there were no options granted under the 2013 Plan, the intrinsic value for the 2013 Plan is $0 for an aggregate intrinsic value at September 30, 2015, of $138,030.

The Corporation has adopted the 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which the Corporation intends to use for all future equity grants to employees, directors or consultants until the termination or expiration of the 2013 Plan. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Corporation’s directors received restricted stock grants totaling 7,500 shares of common stock. These grants vested over a one-year period ending March 13, 2015 during which time the recipients had rights to vote the shares and to receive dividends. The grant date fair value of these shares was $138,000 and was recognized over the one-year restriction period at a cost of $11,500 per month less deferred taxes of $4,290 per month.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Corporation’s directors received restricted stock grants totaling 7,500 shares of common stock. These grants vest over a one-year period ending April 29, 2016 during which time the recipients has rights to vote the shares and to receive dividends. The grant date fair value of these shares was $141,450 and will be recognized over the one-year restriction period at a cost of $11,788 per month less deferred taxes of $4,397 per month.

The income tax topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority. This topic also provides guidance on the derecognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties, and includes guidance concerning accounting for income tax uncertainties in interim periods. As of September 30, 2015, the Corporation had no unrecognized tax benefits related to federal and state income tax matters. Therefore, the Corporation does not anticipate any material increase or decrease in the effective tax rate during 2015 relative to any tax positions taken. It is the Corporation’s policy to recognize interest or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

The Corporation files a consolidated United States federal income tax return. The Corporation is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for all tax years after 2011. The Corporation’s consolidated state income tax returns are also open to audit under the statute of limitations for the same period.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities available-for-sale and the corresponding amounts of gross unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income were as follows:

During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Corporation transferred securities with an amortized cost of $222,322,423 from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. This transfer was completed after consideration of the Corporation’s ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity.

The fair value of the securities transferred as of the date of transfer was $205,260,985 with a net unrealized loss of $17,061,438. In accordance with ASC 320-10-35-16, the discount on each security that resulted from this transfer is amortized over the remaining lives of the individual securities. Any unrealized holding losses on the date of the transfer are not recognized in net income but remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss. In accordance with ASC 320-10-15-10d, the unrealized loss amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss are amortized simultaneously against interest income as the discount is accreted on the transferred securities. There is no effect on net income as the discount accretion offsets the accumulated other comprehensive loss amortization. The unamortized unrealized loss, before deferred taxes, was $13,503,152 and $15,516,336 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities held-to-maturity and the corresponding amounts of gross unrecognized gains and losses were as follows:

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities by contractual maturity at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers have the right to call or prepay certain obligations.

Table of Contents

The tables below show the Corporation’s gross unrealized losses and fair value of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investments, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual investments were in a continuous loss position at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

A summary of unrealized loss information for securities available-for-sale, categorized by security type follows (in thousands):

The Corporation’s unrealized losses on its obligations of United States Government agencies, mortgage backed securities and state, county and municipal bonds are the result of an upward trend in interest rates, mainly in the mid-term sector. None of the unrealized losses disclosed in the previous table are related to credit deterioration. The Corporation has determined that none of the securities in this classification are other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2015 or at December 31, 2014.

The Corporation’s unrealized loss on other investments relates to an investment in a pooled trust preferred security. The decline in value of the pooled trust preferred security is related to the deterioration of the markets for these types of securities brought about by the lowered credit ratings and past deferrals and defaults of the underlying issuing financial institutions. The Corporation owns a senior tranche of this security and therefore has a higher degree of which future deferrals and defaults would be required before the cash flow for the Corporation’s tranche is negatively impacted. The Corporation does not intend to sell this security and it is not more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell at a price less than amortized cost prior to maturity. Given these factors, the Corporation does not consider the investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

The composition of net loans (in thousands) at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is as follows:

Loans are considered to be past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on non-accrual status, when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. Loans may be placed on non-accrual status regardless of whether such loans are considered past due. When interest accruals are discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess of principal due. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
