NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

  The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," was adopted by Charter effective January 1,
1993. This new standard provides for a deferred tax asset to be recognized
for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences
and carryforwards. The adoption of SFAS No. 109 has been reported as the
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.

$351,000 and $381,000 that were paid March 31, 1994, July 20, 1994 and
October 14, 1994, while cash dividends totalling $195,000, $278,000 and
$307,000 were paid March 31, 1993, June 30, 1993 and September 30, 1993 to
shareholders of common and preferred stock. Of the amounts paid on March 31
and September 30 in each year, $28,000 was paid to holders of the initial
series preferred stock and the remainder was paid on the common stock.

NOTE 7 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  Fair values were estimated by management as of September 30, 1994 and
December 31, 1993, which required the exercise of considerable judgment.
Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative
of the amounts Charter could realize in a current market exchange. The use
of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a
material effect on the estimated values presented.

  The estimated fair values of Charter's financial instruments were as

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 $108,999,000 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 $2,181,000 in
shareholders' equity as of September 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.

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., which has since
been renamed Charter Mortgage Company, Inc. ("Charter Mortgage"). Charter
Mortgage has become a 90-percent owned subsidiary of Charter National Bank
- - - - Houston ("Charter-Houston"). The remaining 10 percent of Charter
Mortgage's stock is owned by principals of Charter Mortgage. Charter
Mortgage 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.

    On July 1, 1994, 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 employs 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 September 30, 1994 was 7.75%). 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 ("FHLB"). 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 September 30, 1994, West Loop had total loans of
$88,372,000, total deposits of $102,130,000 and total assets of
$140,446,000. The requisite shareholder approval of the acquisition by
Charter was received at a special meeting of West Loop shareholders held on
August 4, 1994.

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 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 were 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.

    On August 29, 1994, Charter repaid the maturing $15 million advance and
prepaid $10 million of the original prepayable floating rate advance.
Charter continues to utilize FHLB advances in concert with its daily funds
management. Accordingly, at September 30, 1994, there was an additional $20
million advance outstanding, bringing the total outstanding to $33 million.
The $20 million advance was repaid at maturity on October 3, 1994.

NOTE 12 - PURCHASED MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

    The acquisition of Charter Mortgage, as discussed in Note 9, included
the purchase of Charter Mortgage's mortgage servicing portfolio. Management
has determined that the fair value of the purchased mortgage servicing
rights ("PMSR's") from Charter Mortgage to be approximately $1.5 million.
During the third quarter of 1994, Charter purchased the servicing rights on
approximately $57 million in loans for approximately $700,000. 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 $4.5 million for the first nine
months of 1994 as compared to the first nine months of 1993 due to an
increase in earnings from ongoing operations combined with 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 nine months of 1994 to $5,451,000 as compared to $6,457,000 for the
first nine 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 nine-month periods ended September 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.

</TABLE>

    The 10.9% increase in net interest income in the first nine months of
1994 is due to a higher net interest rate spread applied to a larger volume
of earning assets. The interest rate spread of 3.8% and the net interest
margin of 4.6% reflect an increase 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.

                                    11

    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.

                        ========            =======   ========           =======

    The $2,083,000 increase in total net interest income between the first
nine months of 1994 and the first nine months of 1993 can be attributed to
a higher level of earning assets ($617,428,000 in 1994 versus $599,423,000
in 1993) funded by non-interest bearing sources of funds. The higher
interest spread was due to a higher yield on loans. The higher yield on
loans was the result of an increase in lending rates, primarily the prime
lending rate (prime rate was 7.75% at September 30, 1994, as compared to
6.00% at September 30, 1993).

    Increases in non-interest-bearing sources of funds reflect the
increases in non-interest-bearing deposits, which were approximately 30% of
total deposits at September 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 September 30, 1994 of $4,445,000
represented 1.40% 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 0.17% during the first
nine months of 1994 as compared to 0.15% during the first nine months of
1993. The provision for credit losses charged against earnings was $191,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, as compared to $659,000 for
the corresponding period in 1993.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

   Non-interest income increased 65.9% during the first nine 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 nine months ended September 30 of each year, non-interest
income increased 20% in 1994 following a 2.8% decrease in 1993. Service
charges on deposits, the largest component of non-interest income,
increased by 16.4% to $4,686,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1994, as compared to $4,025,000 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 $15.1
million, or 10.0% for the first nine 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 September 30, 1994,
non-interest-bearing demand accounts and total deposits at University
Bank-Galveston were $13,246,000 and $73,224,000, respectively. Service
charges from University Bank-Galveston's deposits included in Charter's
consolidated financial statements for the first nine months of 1994 were
approximately $463,000 compared to $315,000 for the same period in 1993.

   Mortgage company fees and sales of originated servicing rights of
$3,006,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 are entirely
attributable to the acquisition of Charter Mortgage in April, 1994.
Accordingly, no such non-interest income was recorded in the year earlier
nine-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. Fees from the sale of originated
mortgage servicing rights represent premiums received from the sale of
servicing rights on loans originated in the current period only. These fees
approximated $579,000 since acquisition through September 30, 1994.

   Investment securities gains decreased by $104,000 for the first nine
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 nine months of
1994 trust fees increased $209,000 to $594,000, or by 54.3% compared to the
first nine months of 1993, due to an increase in the assets under
administration which grew to approximately $177 million at the end of
September 1994, compared to $149 million at the end of September 1993.

   Other customer service fees increased $168,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993 due to the
acquisition of University Bank-Galveston, which added $132,000 in such
income during 1994 as compared to $63,000 in the first nine 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 $206,000, or 18.5% in the
first nine months of 1994 compared to the first nine months of 1993. Fees
from components within the "other" category which improved in 1994 include
a $148,000 increase in fees generated from letters of credit and $108,000
increase in discount brokerage fee income. Furthermore, the acquisition of
University Bank-Galveston added approximately $256,000 in 1994 as compared
to $107,000 for the same period in 1993 in this "other" category of fee
income.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

  Non-interest expense increased 10.6% during the first nine months of 1994
as compared to the same period in 1993. Non-interest expenses from Charter
Mortgage were $3.1 million in 1994. Excluding the impact of expenses from
Charter Mortgage, non-interest expense decreased 4.3% during the first nine
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 $2.2 million at September 30, 1993 to $1.7 million
at September 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 $3,589,000, or 41.1% for the first
nine months of 1994. Approximately $304,000 of the increase in salaries and
benefits was generated by University Bank-Galveston, $350,000 from the new
Fiesta Mart branches and $135,000 by Charter Builders Group, while the
Charter Mortgage acquisition generated an additional $2,245,000. Excluding
the impact of these acquisitions, total salaries and benefits increased by
$555,000, or 6.4% for 1994 as compared to 1993. This remaining increase in
salary expense is due to merit increases and Charter's expanded activities
and strategic initiatives in the areas of trust services, services
facilitating international trade, and expanded retail banking.

  The acquisition of University Bank-Galveston gave rise to 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 $169,000, $53,000,
$2,000, and $57,000, respectively, over amounts reflected for the first
nine months of 1993.

  The acquisition of Charter Mortgage also contributed to increases in
several categories of non-interest expense, including net premises and
equipment expense, advertising, legal fees, amortization of intangibles,
stationary and supplies and "other" expense. Expense incurred by Charter
Mortgage and reflected on the consolidated financial statements of Charter
for 1994 in each of the preceding categories approximated $324,000,
$20,000, $28,000, $120,000, $128,000 and $316,000, respectively.

(B) ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

  Total assets at September 30, 1994, were $706,611,000, as compared to
Charter's total assets of $667,096,000 at December 31, 1993. Loans
increased by approximately $27.6 million from year-end 1993. Normal
recurring fluctuations increased cash and due from banks by $5.9 million
since year-end. The most significant changes in sources of funds were in
securities sold under agreements to repurchase and long-term debt, which
increased in the aggregate by approximately $33.5 million and $1.2 million,
respectively, from year-end 1993.

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 September 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 September 30,
1994, of approximately $36.2 million and $88.3 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 September 30, 1994, the table shows a positive (asset-sensitive) rate
sensitivity gap of $212 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 September 30, 1994, $40 million notional
amount of "prime" rate caps maturing in June 1995, 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 maturing
in June 1995, 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 September 30, 1994, there were no interest rate swaps in
effect.
                                     17
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 September
30, 1994, Charter had $38,614,000 in cash, $40,202,000 in federal funds
sold and a $284,832,000 total securities portfolio in which the market
value was approximately $6,096,000 less than the carrying value. The
average loan-to-deposit ratio for the nine-month period ended September 30,
1994 was 48.1%.

    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 nine months of 1994, Charter
received $78,208,000 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 September 30, 1994, Charter had $13,474,000 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 September 30, 1994, Charter had $33,000,000 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.

LOANS

    Total loans have increased $27,568,000, OR 9.48%, from December 31,
