    Citizens First Financial Corp., a Delaware corporation 
(``Company''), has filed an application with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to section 12(d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) 
thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its Common Stock, $.01 par value 
(``Security''), from listing and registration on the American Stock

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(g).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Company has effected a new listing for its Security on the 
National Market of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (``Nasdaq''). On 
October 2, 2000, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form 8-A 
with the Commission in conjunction with the new Nasdaq listing. Trading 
in the Security on the Nasdaq commenced, and was concurrently suspended 
on the Amex, at the opening of business on October 2, 2000. The Company 
believes that trading in the Nasdaq marketplace will improve the 
liquidity of its Security by increasing its exposure among investors.
    The Company's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Security from listing and registration on the Amex and shall have no 
effect upon the Security's continued listing on the Nasdaq and 
registration under section 12(g) of the Act.\3\
    Any interested person may, on or before October 26, 2000, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the Amex and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.
For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, pursuant to 
delegated authority.\4\
