<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><u><B>CITIZENS, INC. FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS RESULTS</B></u>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Austin, Texas &#150; May&nbsp;8, 2008 &#150; Citizens, Inc. (NYSE: CIA) </B>reported net income of $2.7&nbsp;million or $0.05 per share of Class&nbsp;A
common stock for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2008, a 12.1% increase over net income of $2.4&nbsp;million or $0.05 per share of
Class&nbsp;A common stock during the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to higher premium income, fueled by
continued strong renewal life insurance premiums as well as an increase in net investment income.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Total revenues for the first three months of 2008 were $39.9&nbsp;million compared to $38.4&nbsp;million in 2007, an increase of 3.9%.
Continued growth in premium income in the international life business, as well as the increase in net investment income were
the primary reasons for the increase in revenues. Premiums for the first quarter of 2008 increased 4.0% to $32.7&nbsp;million from
$31.4&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2007, due to continued persistency in the international life and home service segments.
Net investment income increased 5.6% during the first quarter of 2008 to $7.5&nbsp;million compared to $7.1&nbsp;million in the first
quarter 2007. The increase was due primarily from the growth in the investment portfolio during 2007 and the first part of
2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Claims and surrenders decreased slightly to $13.1&nbsp;million in the first quarter 2008 compared to $13.2&nbsp;million in the first
quarter of 2007, due primarily to favorable death claim experience comparatively between quarters.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Underwriting, acquisition and insurance expense were unchanged in the first quarter of 2008 from 2007 at $6.9&nbsp;million, largely
related to integration of our Home Service segment into Citizens&#146; back office operations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Assets at March&nbsp;31, 2008 totaled $794.2&nbsp;million, compared to $787.9&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2007. Stockholders&#146; equity at
March&nbsp;31, 2008 was $176.3&nbsp;million compared to $176.2&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2007.
