NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

    The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109,

for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences

effect of a change in accounting principle. Management determined that a
net deferred tax asset of approximately $2,950,000 should be recognized as
of January 1, 1993.

NOTE 8 - SECURITIES

     SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities," was adopted by Charter effective January 1, 1994. Under the
new rules, debt securities that the Company has both the positive intent
and ability to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost. Debt
securities that the Company does not have the positive intent and ability
to hold to maturity and all marketable equity securities are classified as
available-for-sale or trading and carried at fair value. Unrealized holding
gains and losses on securities classified as available-for-sale are carried
as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Unrealized holding gains
and losses on securities classified as trading are reported in earnings.

     Presently, the Company classifies $117,425,000 of its debt securities
as available for sale and carries them at fair value. Application of the
new rules resulted in an estimated decrease of approximately $1,808,000 in
shareholders' equity as of June 30, 1994, representing the recognition in
shareholders' equity of unrealized depreciation, net of taxes, for the
Company's investment in debt and equity securities determined to be
available-for-sale.

                                     8
NOTE 9 - ACQUISITIONS

     On April 8, 1994, Charter consummated the acquisition of certain
assets and liabilities that comprise an aggregate of four branches which
are located in Fiesta Mart supermarkets in the Houston, Harris County area.
These Fiesta Mart branches had total deposits in excess of $20 million at
April 8, 1994. The purchase price for the Fiesta Mart branches was equal to
the net book value of the acquired assets less the assumed liabilities,
plus a premium of $775,000.

     On April 27, 1994, Charter consummated the acquisition of certain
assets and liabilities of Capital Standard Mortgage, Inc. ("Capital
Standard"). Capital Standard has become a 90-percent owned subsidiary of
Charter National Bank - Houston ("Charter-Houston"). The remaining 10
percent of Capital Standard's stock is owned by principals of Capital
Standard. Capital Standard presently operates mortgage production offices
in Houston, Austin, Dallas, Plano and Arlington. At April 27, 1994, the
servicing portfolio totalled approximately $126 million and loans in the
pipeline totalled approximately $80 million; both the servicing portfolio
and the pipeline were comprised of relatively low rate mortgages with a
weighted average coupon of approximately 7.5%, which should be resistant to
accelerated prepayments. It is anticipated that Capital Standard will be
re-named Charter Mortgage Company, Inc.

     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-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 the 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.

     Neither of these acquisitions have an immediate material impact on the
consolidated financial position of Charter. However, these acquisitions
provide Charter with access to new markets, an increase in potential
revenues and, with the addition of the mortgage company, an ability to
offer a wider range of mortgage-related products and services.

     On July 8, 1994, Charter agreed to acquire Houston-based West Loop
Savings and Loan Association ("West Loop") pending shareholder and
regulatory approval. At June 30, 1994, West Loop had total loans of
$96,304,000, total deposits of $100,160,000 and total assets of
$137,676,000. The requisite shareholder approval of the acquisition by
Charter was received at a special meeting of West Loop shareholders held on
August 4, 1994.

                                    9
NOTE 10 - LONG TERM DEBT

     At March 31, 1994, Charter Venture Group, Inc. elected to prepay its
$1,000,000 subordinated debenture guaranteed by the Small Business
Administration because management did not anticipate an alternative use of
such funds prior to the scheduled maturity of December 1, 1994.

     Charter issued a $2,500,000 subordinated debenture in April, 1994 in
connection with the purchase of the Fiesta Mart branches. The subordinated
debenture matures April 8, 2006 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.11%
per annum, payable semi-annually.

NOTE 11 - FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES

     Two of Charter's subsidiary banks (Charter National Bank-Houston and
University National Bank-Galveston) are members of the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Dallas ("FHLB"). The FHLB provides advances as a source of funds to
each of its members. A portion of the funds used to purchase the
residential construction loans from Roosevelt Financial Group on July 1,
1994, as discussed in Note 9, were provided by advances funded on June 30,
1994 from the FHLB. The terms of these advances are as follows: (a)
$23,000,000 prepayable floating rate based 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 August 29, 1994. These advances
are collateralized by a blanket pledge of the subsidiary banks' residential
mortgage loans.

NOTE 12 - PURCHASED MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

     The acquisition of Capital Standard, as discussed in Note 9, included
the purchase of Capital Standard's mortgage servicing portfolio. Management
has determined that the fair value of these purchased mortgage servicing
rights ("PMSR's") to be approximately $1.5 million. The price paid for
these PMSR's will be amortized over approximately 10 years. These PMSR's
are includable in regulatory tangible capital.

================================================================================================
</TABLE>

    Earnings before income taxes increased $2.2 million for the first six
months of 1994 as compared to the first six months of 1993 primarily due to
a $1.4 million decrease in losses and carrying costs of other real estate
and a $500,000 decrease in the provision for credit losses. Net earnings
decreased for the first six months of 1994 to $3,275,000 as compared to
$4,734,000 for the first six months of 1993 primarily due to the adoption
of SFAS No. 109 in 1993. In the following sections, the major factors
affecting the components of income and expense are examined. Information
concerning assets and liabilities are subsequently provided so that an
evaluation can be made of capitalization and liquidity as they may affect
Charter's future outlook.

NET INTEREST INCOME

    The data used in the analysis of the changes in net interest income is
derived from the daily average levels of earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities as well as from the rates earned and paid on
such amounts. The schedule below gives a comparative analysis of Charter's
daily average interest-earning accounts (including non-accruing loans) and
interest-bearing accounts for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and
1993. The rates earned and paid on each major type of asset and liability
account are then shown beside the average balance in the account for the
period. The average yields on all interest-earning assets (including
non-accruing loans) and the average cost of all interest-bearing
liabilities also are summarized.

<PAGE>
      The 3.8% increase in net interest income in the first six months of
1994 is due to an increase in earning assets. The interest rate spread of
3.6% and the net interest margin of 4.4% reflect a decrease from their
levels in the same period for the prior year. A further understanding of
the factors responsible for the year-to-year increase in net interest
income can be obtained by examining the changes in: (1) the volume of
earning assets and (2) the net interest income produced after the related
cost of funding these earning assets.

      The following table allocates total interest income earned at the
"interest spread" between assets funded with: (1) interest-bearing
liabilities and (2) non-interest-bearing liabilities (primarily
non-interest-bearing demand deposits) and equity capital. The interest
spread on earning assets funded by interest-bearing liabilities is defined
as the difference between the average rate earned on total earning assets
and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The interest
spread on assets funded with non-interest-bearing sources of funds is
simply the rate earned on total earning assets.

</TABLE>

      The $484,000 increase in total net interest income between the first
six months of 1994 and the first six months of 1993 can be attributed
entirely to a higher level of earning assets ($601,913,000 in 1994 versus
$546,850,000 in 1993). This factor more than offset the impact of a
substantially lower interest spread (6.59% in 1994 versus 7.16% in 1993) on
a higher level of earning assets funded with non-interest-bearing funds.
The lower interest spread was due to a lower yield on loans. The lower
yield on loans was the result of a significantly higher than normal amount
of interest accreted into income during the second quarter of 1993 from the
early payoff of loans previously purchased at a discount. Interest accreted
into income from the early payoff of loans purchased at discounts was
approximately $264,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 as compared
to approximately $598,000 for the same period in 1993.

      Increases in non-interest-bearing sources of funds reflect the
increases in non-interest-bearing deposits, which were approximately 29% of
total deposits at June 30, 1994. The high level of this type of deposit
favorably impacts net interest income. However, the impact is more
favorable in periods of relatively higher interest rates than in the
current period of low interest rates. Accordingly, the net interest income
on earning assets funded with these non-interest-bearing funds would
benefit from a rise in interest rates due to the resulting increase in the
interest spread.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

    The allowance for credit losses at June 30, 1994 of $4,312,000
represented 1.68% of outstanding loans. A year earlier, this ratio was
1.56% and at December 31, 1993, it was 1.59%. Annualized net loans charged
off as a percent of average loans outstanding was 0.32% during the first
six months of 1994 as compared to 0.20% during the first six months of
1993. The provision for credit losses charged against earnings was $109,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1994, as compared to $607,000 for the
corresponding period in 1993.

    The following table is an analysis of the activity in the allowance for
credit losses for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and
1993:

NON-INTEREST INCOME

    Non-interest income increased 56.9% during the first six months of 1994
as compared to the same period in 1993. Excluding the effect of securities
transactions and mortgage company fees and sales of originated servicing
rights for the six months ended June 30 of each year, non-interest income
increased 24.0% in 1994 following a 17.3% increase in 1993. Service charges
on deposits, the largest component of non-interest income, increased by
14.4% to $2,928,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994, as compared to
$2,560,000 for the same period in 1993. The increase in service charge
income was primarily due to an increase in the average volume of
transaction deposit accounts, particularly non-interest-bearing demand
accounts, which generate the majority of this fee income. Average
non-interest-bearing demand accounts increased by approximately $20.5
million, or 14.6% for the first six months of 1994 as compared to the same
period in 1993. The acquisition of University Bank-Galveston in April 1993
contributed to the growth in deposit accounts. At June 30, 1994,
non-interest-bearing demand accounts and total deposits at University
Bank-Galveston were $14,541,000 and $84,309,000, respectively. Service
charges from University Bank-Galveston's deposits included in Charter's
consolidated financial statements for the first six months of 1994 were
approximately $304,000 compared to $133,000 for the same period in 1993.

    Mortgage company fees and sales of originated servicing rights of
$1,478,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 are entirely attributable
to the acquisition of Capital Standard in April, 1994. Accordingly, no such
non-interest income was recorded in the year earlier six-month period.
Components of mortgage company fees and sales of originated servicing
rights include loan origination income, fees from the sale of originated
mortgage servicing rights, appraisal income, loan servicing fees and
underwriting income.

    Investment securities gains decreased by $144,000 for the first six
months of 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993. Trust fees represent
revenues earned by services provided to customers of Charter's Asset
Management and Trust Services Department. During the first six months of
1994 trust fees increased $207,000 to $431,000, or by 92.4% compared to the
first six months of 1993, due to an increase in the assets under
administration which grew to approximately $180 million at the end of June
1994, compared to $152 million at the end of June 1993.

    Other customer service fees increased $115,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993 due to the acquisition
of University Bank-Galveston, which added $89,000 in such income during
1994 as compared to $28,000 in the first six months of 1993. Components of
other customer service fees include check printing fees, ATM settlement
fees, research fees and wire transfer fees.

    The components of the "other" category of non-interest income consist
of rental income on other real estate owned, fees generated from customers
engaged in international trade such as foreign exchange fees and letter of
credit fees, plus miscellaneous fees such as collection fees, credit card
fees, safe deposit rentals and discount brokerage commissions. These fees
correlate to the level of transactions in each of the referenced
categories. Other non-interest income increased $251,000, or 40.7% in the
first six months of 1994 compared to the first six months of 1993. Fees
from components within the "other" category which improved in 1994 include
a $90,000 increase in fees generated from customers engaged in
international trade. Furthermore, the acquisition of University
Bank-Galveston added approximately $165,000 in 1994 as compared to $41,000
for the same period in 1993 in this "other" category of fee income.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

  Non-interest expense increased 7.9% during the first six months of 1994
as compared to the same period in 1993. Non-interest expenses from Capital
Standard were $1.5 million in 1994. Excluding the impact of expenses from
Capital Standard, non-interest expense decreased 3.6% during the first six
months of 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993. The most significant
decrease in expenses was in the category of ORE losses and carrying costs.
Charter has established an allowance for other real estate in order to
recognize possible declines in fair values of foreclosed properties. This
allowance is increased by provisions charged to earnings and reduced by
writedowns upon the sale of ORE at a loss. ORE losses and carrying costs
decreased by approximately $1.4 million primarily due to a declining
balance in ORE. Total ORE, net of the allowance for other real estate,
declined from a total of $3.6 million at June 30, 1993 to $1.9 million at
June 30, 1994. The reduction in ORE has resulted in a substantial reduction
in associated carrying costs. Management anticipates that its ongoing
efforts to dispose of some or all of the remaining ORE properties will be
accompanied by additional reductions in associated carrying costs.

  The largest single line item for non-interest expense continues to be
salaries and benefits which increased by $1,823,000, or 31.6% for the first
six months of 1994. Approximately $377,000 of the increase in salaries and
benefits was generated by University Bank-Galveston, while the Capital
Standard acquisition generated an additional $1,099,000. Excluding the
impact of the acquisition of University Bank-Galveston and Capital
Standard, total salaries and benefits increased by $377,000, or 6.5% for
1994 as compared to 1993.

  The acquisition of University Bank-Galveston was the primary source of
increases in several categories of non-interest expense, including net
premises and equipment expense, advertising, electronic data processing and
deposit insurance premiums. Expense incurred by University Bank-Galveston
and reflected on the consolidated financial statements of Charter for 1994
in each of the preceding categories increased approximately $153,000,
$44,000, $38,000, and $66,000, respectively, over amouts reflected for the
first six months of 1993.

  The acquisition of Capital Standard contributed to increases in several
categories of non-interest expense, including net premises and equipment
expense, advertising, legal fees, amortization of intangible and "other"
expense. Expense incurred by Capital Standard and reflected on the
consolidated financial statements of Charter for 1994 in each of the
preceding categories approximated $158,000, $12,000, $16,000, $20,000 and
$190,000, respectively.

  The following table sets forth by category the operating expenses and the

(B) ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

    Total assets at June 30, 1994, were $713,820,000, as compared to
Charter's total assets of $667,096,000 at December 31, 1993. Total
securities and federal funds sold increased $17.3 and $54.3 million,
respectively, from as compared to December 31, 1993. Loans decreased by
approximately $34.7 million from year-end 1993. Normal recurring
fluctuations increased cash and due from banks by $5.0 million since
year-end. The most significant changes in sources of funds were in
deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and long-term
debt which increased in the aggregate by approximately $7.7 million, $36.4
million, and $2.5 million, respectively, from year-end 1993.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Under the guidelines published by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System ("Federal Reserve Board"), Charter's aggregate risk-weighted
assets and off-balance sheet exposures at June 30, 1994 and December 31,
1993, were approximately $325,194,000 and $310,489,000, respectively,
calculated as follows:

RATE-SENSITIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

    Interest rate sensitivity is a measure of the volatility of the net
interest margin as a consequence of changes in market rates. The following
table summarizes the rate sensitivity of earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities of Charter at June 30, 1994. Charter monitors
the rate sensitivity gap (rate-sensitive, earning assets less
rate-sensitive, interest-bearing liabilities) at least monthly in the
normal process of asset and liability management. Money market savings
accounts are included in the 31-90 days category. Passbook savings accounts
and regular interest-bearing demand accounts with balances at June 30,
1994, of approximately $39.5 million and $91.9 million, respectively, are
included in the 91-180 days category. Although repricing on such accounts
is possible at any time, the historical stability of the rates paid on such
accounts supports this classification.

    At June 30, 1994, the table shows a positive (asset-sensitive) rate
sensitivity gap of $185 million in the 1-30 day repricing category. The gap
beyond thirty days becomes more liability-sensitive as interest-bearing
liabilities that reprice within 90 days, 180 days and one year become
greater in volume than rate-sensitive assets that are subject to repricing
in the same respective time periods.

</TABLE>

    The foregoing table shows the interval of time in which given volumes
of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities would be responsive to
changes in market interest rates based on their contractual maturities or
terms for repricing. It is, however, only a static, single-day depiction of
Charter's rate sensitivity structure, which can be adjusted in response to
changes in forecasted interest rates. Various off-balance sheet instruments
may be used in managing Charter's interest rate sensitivity. Instruments
which may be used include interest rate swaps, futures and forward rate
agreements which serve to hedge interest rate risk by matching the maturity
rate of securities and loans with funding sources. Charter evaluates the
creditworthiness of the counterparties to these agreements under its credit
policy guidelines. Off-balance sheet instruments which complement
discretionary balance sheet management may be incorporated in overall
interest rate risk analysis. As of June 30, 1994, $40 million notional
amount of "prime" rate caps had been sold and were outstanding. This
strategy is expected to stabilize net interest income in the event of a
decline in the prime lending rate below the national rate of 6%.
Furthermore, $40 million notional amount of "prime" rate caps had been
purchased and were outstanding. This strategy was expected to stabilize the
impact on net interest income from the interest rate caps sold in the event
of rapidly rising interest rates, which may result in an increase in the
prime lending rate above 8.5%. These interest rate agreements, along with
the availability of other mechanisms such as interest rate futures, swaps
and future rate agreements, provide Charter the flexibility to change the
rate sensitivity gap should the interest rate outlook change. At June 30,
1994, there were no interest rate swaps in effect.

                                    18
LIQUIDITY

      Like any commercial bank, the liability structure of Charter's
subsidiary banks requires that Charter maintain an appropriate level of
liquid resources to meet normal day-to-day fluctuations in deposit volume
and to make new loans and investments as opportunities arise. Liquidity can
be provided by either assets or liabilities. Traditional sources of
liquidity include cash and due from demand balances, money market
investments, investment security maturities and prepayments, loan
maturities and repayments, and core deposit growth. Other sources of asset
liquidity readily available to Charter include interest-bearing deposits
with other financial institutions and trading account assets. At June 30,
1994, Charter had $37,717,000 in cash, $93,916,000 in federal funds sold
and a $300,988,000 total securities portfolio in which the market value was
approximately $5,398,000 less than the carrying value. The average
loan-to-deposit ratio for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994 was
44.5%.

      A financial service company's activities consist primarily of
financing and investing activities. These activities result in large cash
flows. Charter's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows on page 4 indicate
the sources of these cash flows. In addition to the assets which could be
readily converted to cash during the first six months of 1994, Charter
received $63,135,000 in proceeds from maturities and prepayments of
securities.

      Charter has substantial liability liquidity through its customer
base. In addition to normal core deposit growth, liability liquidity is
available through various sources of purchased funds. Charter emphasizes
direct issuance of liabilities in order to develop stable, long-lasting
funding relationships. At June 30, 1994, Charter had $11,338,000 in
securities sold under agreements to repurchase, all of which were
transactions effected through existing deposit customers, rather than
through the national markets. Liquidity and matched funding may also be
obtained from the FHLB, of which Charter-Houston and University
Bank-Galveston are members. At June 30, 1994, Charter had $38,000,000 in
advances from the FHLB (see Notes 9 and 11). There were no federal funds
purchased or other short-term borrowings, reflecting management's
continuing effort to limit the use of more expensive purchased funds. The
liquidity of Charter also may be maintained through access to the Federal
Reserve System's "discount window," which is a liquidity source all banks
may avail themselves of if needed.
