FIRST CHARTER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Primary earnings per share and income per share assuming full dilution
are computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the period, including Common Stock equivalent shares applicable to
stock options, assuming the exercise of outstanding stock options at
market value per share.
2. In certain instances, amounts reported in the 1994 financial statements
have been reclassified to present them in the format selected for 1995.
Such reclassifications have no effect on net income or shareholders'
equity as previously reported.
3. The information furnished in this report reflects all adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement
of the financial condition and the results of operations for the interim
period. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.
4. Effective January 1, 1995 the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("Statement 114") No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan". This requires that all creditors value all
specifically reviewed loans for which it is probable that the creditor
will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest)
according to the terms of the loan agreement at either the present value
of expected cash flows discounted at the loans's effective interest rate,
or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent
loans. At March 31, 1995 the allowance for loan losses related to loans
that were identified for evaluation in accordance with Statement 114 was
determined based on one of the methods discussed above.
The following table presents changes in the allowance for loan losses for
the period ended March 31, 1995:
Beginning Balance $2,816,172
Add:
Provision charged to operations 125,000
2,941,172
Less:
Loan charge-offs 80,031
Less loan recoveries 33,217
Net loan charge-offs 46,814
Ending Balance $2,894,358
<PAGE>
At March 31, 1995, the recorded investment in loans that were considered
to be impaired under Statement 114 was $2,370,515 (of which $1,964,866 was on
nonaccrual). The related allowance for loan losses on these loans was
$1,018,919. The average recorded investment in impaired loans for the quarter
was $2,385,441. For the quarter ended March 31, 1994, the Corporation
recognized interest income on impaired loans of $8,797, none of which was
recognized using the cash method of income recognition.<PAGE>
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The consolidated balance sheets of First Charter Corporation (the
"Corporation") represent account balances for the Corporation and its wholly
owned banking subsidiary, First Charter National Bank (the "Bank").
LIQUIDITY
The Bank's major source of liquidity is its core deposit base. Liquidity
is further provided by maturities in the investment portfolio, the ability to
secure public deposits, the availability of Federal fund lines at correspondent
banks and the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window.
In addition to these sources, the Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB") System which provides access to FHLB lending sources. Another source
of liquidity is the securities available for sale portfolio which may be sold in
response to liquidity needs. Management believes the Bank's sources of
liquidity are adequate to meet operating needs and deposit withdrawal
requirements.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 1995, total shareholders' equity was $38,593,081, or $8.34
per share compared to $37,463,582, or $8.09 per share at December 31, 1994.
The following table represents the required capital guidelines as issued
by the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") and the Corporation's compliance with the
standards as of March 31, 1995.

REGULATORY RECOMMENDATIONS
Management is not presently aware of any current recommendations to the
Corporation or to the Bank by regulatory authorities which, if they were to be
implemented, would have a material effect on the Corporation's liquidity,
capital resources, or operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 was $1,543,071, or $0.33
share versus $1,160,749, or $0.25 per share for the comparable period in 1994
which represents a 32.9% increase. The increase is primarily attributable to
increases in net interest income. On an annualized basis, these results
represent a return on average assets of 1.96% versus 1.60% at March 31, 1994 and
a return on average equity of 16.00% versus 13.00%.
Loan demand was strong during the first quarter of 1995. As a result,
gross loans increased 2.8% to $209,712,744 from $203,935,504 at December 31,
1994. Total deposits increased slightly to $267,009,482 from $266,352,534 at
December 31, 1994. Investment securities totaled $58,419,626 at March 31, 1995
for a decrease of approximately $2.6 million from December 31, 1994. The
decrease was primarily due to the sale of seasoned mortgage-backed securities
with a greater than 85% paydown, paydowns in the mortgage backed portfolio and
maturities of municipal securities. Investment securities had gross unrealized
gains of $1,061,872 and gross unrealized losses of $1,857,630 at March 31, 1995.
Securities available for sale totaled $27,554,264 at March 31, 1995 for a
decrease of approximately $3.2 million. Proceeds from sales and maturities in
the investment and securities available for sale portfolios were used to fund
the increased loan demand and to reinvest in additional securities. The
carrying value of securities available for sale was $668,300 above their
amortized cost at March 31, 1995. Total assets at March 31, 1995 were
$321,784,790 compared to $324,048,652 at December 31, 1994.
First quarter net interest income before provision for loan losses
increased $791,038, or 24.7% for the period ending March 31, 1995 over the
comparable 1994 quarter. The increase is attributable to an increase in the
level of interest earning assets, as well as an improvement in the net interest
margin to 5.85% at March 31, 1995 compared to 5.16% at March 31, 1994. The
average yield on earning assets was 8.92% at March 31, 1995 compared to 7.67% at
March 31, 1994. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 3.93%
at March 31, 1995 compared to 3.15% at March 31, 1994.
Management continues to assess interest rate risk based on an earnings
simulation model. The Bank's balance sheet is liability sensitive, meaning that
in a given period there will be more liabilities than assets subject to
immediate repricing as market rates change. Because immediately rate sensitive
interest-bearing liabilities exceed rate sensitive assets, the earnings position
could improve in a declining rate environment and could deteriorate in a rising
rate environment, depending on the correlation of rate changes in these two
categories. Although rates increased during the periods analyzed, the earnings
position improved because interest income was positively impacted by the
increases in the prime rate of interest from 6.25% at March 31, 1994 to 9.0% at
March 31, 1995. Funding costs increased, but not as quickly or in the same
magnitude as the repricing of prime-based loans. As liabilities are repriced in
response to rising rates, net interest income could decline.
The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 was
$125,000 compared to $75,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1994. The increase
in the provision was primarily attributable to the increase in gross loans
outstanding. The allowance as a percentage of gross loans remained unchanged at

1.38% at March 31, 1995 compared to December 31, 1994. Management continues to
perform a monthly analysis of the allowance utilizing a system for risk grading
the portfolio. Based on this review, management believes the allowance to be
adequate.
Nonperforming assets at March 31, 1995 were $4,342,765 or 2.05% of gross
loans and foreclosed properties compared to $5,062,343 or 2.46% at December 31,
1994. The level of nonperforming assets is presented in the following table.
March 31, December 31,
1995 1994
Loans:
Nonaccrual loans $2,078,946 $2,033,122
Loans 90 days or more past
due and still accruing 422,191 1,187,593
Foreclosed Property 1,527,666 1,527,666
Other Real Estate 313,962 313,962
Net charge-offs for the three month period ended March 31, 1995 were
$47,000 compared to $90,000 for the same period in 1994.
Interest income that would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans for the
three months ended March 31, 1995, had they performed in accordance with their
original terms, amounted to $52,082. Interest income on nonaccrual loans
included in the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995
amounted to approximately $2,200.
Noninterest income decreased approximately $92,000 or 9.9% for the three
month period ended March 31, 1995 over the comparable period in 1994. The major
components of this decrease were lower trust income due to the absence of one-
time estate fees earned in 1994 and lower service charges due to lower
commercial account service charges.
Noninterest expense decreased approximately $14,000 or 0.5% for the three
month period ended March 31, 1995 over the comparable period in 1994. Salaries
and fringe benefits for the first quarter of 1995 were maintained at first
quarter 1994 levels. Occupancy and equipment increased due to the initial cost
of check imaging software and hardware. Efficiencies from this new process will
not be realized until the latter part of 1995. Decreases have occurred in other
professional fees, advertising, other insurance, foreclosed properties and other
expenses.
Total income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 was
$656,000 compared to $376,000 for the comparable period in 1994. The increase
is attributable to an increase in income before taxes and an increase in the
effective tax rate. <PAGE>
