    Primary earnings per share amounts are computed by dividing net earnings
less current period preferred dividends by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period.  Fully diluted earnings per
share amounts are similarly computed but include the pro forma effect from
conversion of Charter's other potentially dilutive securities.

  NOTE 7 - ACQUISITIONS

     On January 10, 1995, Charter acquired West Loop Savings and Loan
Association, which represented the fifth largest thrift in the Houston area
with total assets of approximately $140 million at December 31, 1994.
Immediately following the acquisition, West Loop's charter was converted to a
Texas state savings bank under the name Charter Bank, SSB, in order to reduce
certain regulatory burdens, establish a vehicle for possible expansion of
nonbank activities, and implement a product mix which is consistent with
Charter's other subsidiary banks.  Charter Bank, SSB has two banking
facilities, one facility in the reemerging Meyerland area of Houston, and one
in nearby Baytown, Texas.

     At June 30, 1995, Charter Bank, SSB had total loans of $89,062,000,
total deposits of $95,998,000 and total assets of $144,549,000.  The
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, with
cash as the sole form of consideration given.  The acquisition resulted in an
increase in goodwill of $722,000,  which amount is being amortized on a
straight line basis over fifteen years.

NOTE 8 - FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES

     Three of Charter's subsidiary banks (Charter National Bank-Houston,
University National Bank-Galveston and Charter Bank, SSB) are members of the
FHLB.  The FHLB provides advances as a source of funds to each of its
members.   These advances are collateralized by a blanket pledge of the
subsidiary banks' residential mortgage loans.  Charter continues to utilize
FHLB advances in concert with its daily funds management.

At June 30, 1995, outstanding advances totaled $37,468,000 with an average rate
of 6.97 %. Of this amount, $9,700,000 has a final maturity date of June 7, 2001
and bears interest at a current rate of 5.75% adjustable semi-annually to
6-month LIBOR.  In addition, there is a $15,000,000 advance maturing July 6,
1995 with a fixed rate of 6.07%.  The remaining $12,768,000 is comprised of
several amortizing advances with final maturities from 2001 through 2013 and
bear a weighted average rate of 8.96%.

</TABLE>

     Earnings before income taxes increased $2.7 million for the first six
months of 1995 as compared to the first six months of 1994 due to an increase
in earnings from ongoing operations and from acquisitions closed in 1994 and
1995.  Net earnings increased for the first six months of 1995 to $5,001,000
as compared to $3,275,000 for the first six months of 1994.  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, 1995 and 1994.  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 increase in net interest income in the first six months of 1995 is
due to a higher net interest rate spread applied to a larger volume of
earning assets.  The interest rate spread of  3.89% and the net interest
margin of  4.82% 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.

      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 $5,796,000 increase in total net interest income between the first
six months of 1995 and the first six months of 1994 can be attributed to a
higher net interest rate spread applied to a higher level of earning assets
($791,730,000 in 1995 versus $603,048,000 in 1994).  The higher net interest
rate spread was due to a change in the mix of earning assets which reflects
an increase in loan volumes with a corresponding increase in loan yields.
The increase in loan volumes reflects the acquisitions of Charter Builders
Group, Charter Bank, SSB and loans generated from internal growth.  The
higher yield on loans was the result of an increase in lending rates,
primarily the prime lending rate (prime rate was 9.00% at June 30, 1995, as
compared to 7.25% at June 30, 1994).

     Increases in non-interest-bearing sources of funds reflect the increases
in non-interest-bearing deposits, which averaged approximately 24% of total
average deposits for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The high level of
this type of deposit favorably impacts net interest income.  The impact is
more favorable in periods of relatively higher interest rates.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

    The allowance for credit losses at June 30, 1995 of $5,472,000
represented 1.08% of outstanding loans.  A year earlier, this ratio was 1.68%
and at December 31, 1994, it was 1.29%.  Annualized net loans charged-off as
a percent of average loans outstanding was .07% during the first six months
of 1995 as compared to net loans charged-off .32% during the first six
months of 1994.  The provision for credit losses charged against earnings was
$380,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995, as compared to $109,000 for
the corresponding period in 1994.

    The following table is an analysis of the activity in the allowance for

NON-INTEREST INCOME

    Non-interest income increased 72.3% during the first six months of 1995
as compared to the same period in 1994.   Excluding the effect of securities
transactions and mortgage banking income for the six months ended June 30 of
each year, non-interest income increased  25.6%.  Service charges on
deposits, increased by 12.7% to $3,301,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1995, as compared to $2,928,000 for the same period in 1994.  The increase in
service charge income was primarily due to an increase in the average volume
of non-interest-bearing demand accounts, which generate the majority of this
fee income.  Average non-interest-bearing demand accounts increased by
approximately $9.2 million, or 5.7% for the first  six months of 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994.

    Mortgage banking income increased by 215.8% to $4,667,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to $1,478,000 for the same period in
1994 and is entirely attributable to the acquisition of Charter Mortgage in
April, 1994. Components of mortgage banking income  include loan origination
fees, fees from the sale of loans and sales of related servicing rights on
originated loans.

    Investment securities activity resulted in a gain of $86,000 for the
first six months of 1995 as compared to a gain of $7,000 for the same period
in 1994.  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 1995 trust fees increased $539,000 to
$970,000, or by 125.1% compared to the first six months of 1994, due to an
increase in the assets under administration which grew to approximately $282
million at the end of June 30, 1995, compared to $180 million at the end of
June 1994.

    Other customer service fees increased $141,000 for the six  months ended
June 30, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  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  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 $114,000 or 13.1% in the first six months of
1995 compared to the first six months of 1994.  Fees from components within
the "other" category which improved in 1995 include a $48,000 increase in
fees generated from letters of credit, $36,000 increase in collection fees
and $44,000 increase in other miscellaneous income.

    The following table sets forth by category the non-interest income and
the percentage change from the prior period:

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

  Non-interest expense increased 51.2% during the first six  months of 1995
as compared to the same period in 1994.  Non-interest expenses from Charter
Mortgage were $3.9 million and $1.4 million  for Charter Bank, SSB in 1995.
Excluding the impact of expenses from Charter Mortgage and Charter Bank, SSB
non-interest expense increased 23.9% during the first six months of 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994.

  The largest single line item for non-interest expense continues to be
salaries and benefits which increased by $3,415,000, or 31.6% for the first
six months of 1995. Approximately $3,110,000 of the increase in salaries and
benefits was generated by $194,000 from the new Fiesta Mart branches and
$176,000 by Charter Builders Group, while the Charter Mortgage acquisition
generated an additional $2,085,000 and the Charter Bank, SSB acquisition
generated an additional $655,000.  Excluding the impact of these
acquisitions, total salaries and benefits increased by $305,000, or 4.5% for
1995 as compared to 1994.  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 Charter Mortgage gave rise  to increases in several
categories of non-interest expense, including net premises and equipment
expense, 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 1995 in each of the
preceding categories approximated $275,000, $31,000, $145,000, $80,000, and
$286,000, respectively.

  The acquisition of Charter Bank, SSB also contributed  to increases in
several categories of non-interest expense, including net premises and
equipment expense, electronic data processing and deposit insurance premiums.
Expense incurred by Charter Bank, SSB and reflected on the consolidated
financial statements of Charter for 1995 in  each of the preceding categories
approximated $243,000, $55,000, and $135,000, respectively.

  The following table sets forth by category the operating expenses and the
percentage change from the prior period:

(B) ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

    Total assets at June 30, 1995, were $871,746,000 as compared to Charter's
total assets of $722,398,000 at December 31, 1994.   Loans increased by
approximately $162.8 million from year-end 1994 primarily as a result of the
Charter Bank, SSB acquisition, $85.8 million, and $77 million from internal
loan growth.  Normal recurring fluctuations decreased cash and due from banks
by $9.7  million since year-end.  The most significant changes in sources of
funds were in deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and Federal funds
purchased, which increased  by approximately $70.1 million, $24.5 million,
and $42.4 million, respectively, from year-end 1994,which were primarily
attributed to the Charter Bank, SSB acquisition and an increase in short-term
borrowings to facilitate internal growth.

   At June 30, 1995, total risk based capital was 13.44% of risk weighted
assets and core capital was 5.85% of quarterly average assets.  Both of these
ratios are below their previous levels reflected as of December 31, 1994 due
to the acquisition of Charter Bank, SSB.  Management believes the current
capital ratios, which exceed regulatory minimums, are adequate.

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, 1995.  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.   Passbook savings accounts and regular
interest-bearing demand accounts with balances at June 30, 1995, of
approximately $34.6 million and $81.1 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, 1995, the table shows a positive (asset-sensitive) rate
sensitivity gap of $179 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 and 180 days 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
change in market interest rates based on their contractual maturities or
terms for repricing.  It is, however, only a single-day depiction of
Charter's rate sensitivity structure, which can be adjusted in response to
changes in forecasted interest rates.

Charter enters into various types of interest rate contracts in managing its
interest rate risk.  The notional amounts for derivatives do not represent
amounts exchanged by the parties and are not a measure of Charter's exposure
through its use of derivatives.  The amounts exchanged are determined by
reference to the notional amounts and the other terms of the derivatives.

At June 30, 1995, $30 million notional amount Libor rate floors had been
purchased and was outstanding with a final maturity date of May 4, 1999.
This strategy is expected to stablize net interest income in the event of a
decline in LIBOR below 4%.

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, 1995, Charter
had $35,487,000 in cash, and a $292,194,000 total securities portfolio in
which the market value was approximately $798,000 less than the carrying
value.  The average loan-to-deposit ratio for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1995 was 63%.

     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 1995, Charter
received $27,604,000 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, 1995, Charter had $21,791,000 in securities sold
under agreements to repurchase, all of which were transactions effected
through existing deposit customers, rather than through the national markets.
Back up sources of liquidty may include securities sold under agreements to
repurchase in the national markets, thereby allowing Charter to utilize its
significant holdings of investment securities. Liquidity and matched funding
may also be obtained from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, of which
Charter-Houston, University Bank-Galveston, and Charter Bank, SSB are
members.  At June 30, 1995, Charter had $37,468,000 in advances from the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas.   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.

     Total non-performing assets increased $2.2 million since year-end to
$6 million at June 30, 1995, primarily due to an anticipated level of
non-performing assets from the acquisition of Charter Bank, SSB.  All of the
increase in the other real estate can be attributed to single family
residential properties from Charter Bank, SSB.  Total non-performing assets
as a percentage of total assets was 0.7% at June 30, 1995 and 0.5% at
December 31, 1994.
