ITEM 5.     OTHER EVENTS

       On July 1, 1994, Charter Bancshares, Inc. ("Charter") consummated
the acquisition of residential construction loans and selected fixed assets
from Roosevelt Financial Group, Chesterfield, Missouri. The residential
construction loans represented the existing construction portfolio
generated by the construction lending operations of Farm and Home Savings
Association ("Farm and Home") prior to the June 30, 1994 acquisition of
Farm and Home by Roosevelt Financial Group. In addition to purchasing these
construction loans and selected fixed assets, Charter will employ
approximately 20 persons previously employed by Farm and Home and
associated with the construction lending area. The loans and selected fixed
assets were purchased by Charter National Bank-Houston, a wholly-owned
national bank subsidiary of Charter.

       The purchased residential construction loans represent approximately
$75 million in outstanding balances, with total credit lines of
approximately $210 million. Approximately one-third of the outstanding
loans are for home construction in Houston, one-third in Dallas, and the
balance are for homes in Austin and San Antonio. A typical interim
construction loan will have an average life of less than one year and earn
interest that floats at prime rate plus one to one and one-half percent
(the prime rate as of July 1, 1994 was 7.25%). Additional fees may be
earned on construction loans in the form of origination fees, inspection
fees, appraisal fees, and extension fees. The purchased fixed assets of
approximately $267,000 are primarily comprised of the furniture and
equipment used in Farm and Home's construction lending area. Except for
approximately $11,000 in miscellaneous accounts payable related to
construction loans, there were no other liabilities assumed by Charter in
the transaction. All of the loans and selected fixed assets were purchased
at the existing net book values as reflected on Roosevelt Financial Group's
books, which amounts approximate their fair value. No purchase premium or
discount was paid to or received from Roosevelt Financial Group.

       A portion of the purchase price was financed by $38 million in
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. The remaining
purchase price was funded through the utilization of existing liquid assets
in the form of federal funds sold and short-term investments.

       This acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. The following pro forma financial information consists of a pro
forma condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 1994. Pro forma adjustments
related to the pro forma condensed balance sheet have been computed
assuming the acquisition was consummated March 31, 1994. Pro forma
condensed statements of operations are not presented since this transaction
is not considered an acquisition of a continuing business. This acquisition
is a purchase of short-lived assets at amounts considered to be their fair
value.

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note A - CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
  Cash and short-term investments include cash, due from banks, federal
  funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell and trading
  account assets. Pro forma cash and due from banks were $37,070,000 at
  March 31, 1994. Pro forma federal funds sold, securities purchased under
  agreement to resell and trading account assets were $4,322,000 at March
  31, 1994. The adjustments to this category include the reduction of
  approximately $27,685,000 in short-term investments and $9,965,000 in
  securities maturing within 90 days (from the date of the purchase). The
  reduction in these liquid assets combined with the other borrowings (see
  Note D) were used to fund the purchase.

Note B - SECURITIES

  securities available for sale of $124,766,000 at March 31, 1994.

  on the 1-month LIBOR plus 10 basis points (initial rate of 4.66%) due
  December 30, 1996, and (b) $15,000,000 at a fixed rate of 4.84% due

  accounts payable related to the purchased loans.
