            WATERHOUSE INVESTOR SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (Unaudited)

1.  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
      The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts 
      of Waterhouse Investor Services, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-
      owned subsidiaries, the most significant of which is Waterhouse 
      Securities, Inc. ("Waterhouse Securities"), a securities brokerage firm 
      which is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 
      "SEC").  Effective October 13, 1994, the Company became registered as a 
      bank holding company. Such statements have been prepared by the Company, 
      without audit, pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the SEC and 
      reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) 
      which are necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the 
      interim periods reported.  Certain footnote disclosures normally 
      included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally 
      accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant 
      to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the 
      disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not 
      misleading.  It is suggested that these consolidated financial 
      statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and 
      notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 
      the year ended August 31, 1994. 

2. CAPITAL ADEQUACY
      Since being approved as a bank holding company, the Company closely 
      monitors its capital levels to provide for normal business needs and to 
      comply with regulatory requirements.  As summarized below the Company's 
      capital ratios were in excess of the regulatory requirements to be 
      deemed "Well Capitalized" for the period ended May 31, 1995.

</TABLE>

      As a broker-dealer, Waterhouse Securities is subject to the SEC's Uniform 
      Net Capital Rule.  Waterhouse Securities has elected the alternative 
      method allowed by the Rule under which net capital, as defined, shall not 
      be less than 2% of aggregate debit items, as defined.  At May 31, 1995, 
      Waterhouse Securities had net capital of $29,599,000 in excess of its 
      required net capital of $6,267,000.

3. RECLASSIFICATION
      The consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three and 
      nine months ended May 31, 1994 have been reclassified to conform with the
      presentation adopted for the three and nine months ended May 31, 1995 
      because of the Company's registration as a bank holding company.  Certain 
      prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current 
      period presentation.

4. INVESTMENT SECURITIES
      The Investment Securities are held by Waterhouse National Bank and carried
      at amortized cost since the bank has the intent and the ability to hold 
      these instruments to maturity. The maturity of these instruments range 
      from 6/1/95 to 4/26/96.  The following is a comparison of the carrying 
      amount and approximate market values:

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
         Results of Operations


GENERAL

Waterhouse Investor Services, Inc. was formed in 1987 as a holding company and 
became registered as a bank holding company in 1994.  The principal operating 
subsidiary of the Company is Waterhouse Securities which was established 
in 1978.  Waterhouse Securities, a member firm of the NYSE and other principal 
exchanges, conducts business as a discount broker offering reduced commission 
rates to individual investors.  Waterhouse National Bank was established in 
1994 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and will provide the Company 
with the ability to offer expanded financial services and products to the 
customer base of Waterhouse Securities.

The securities industry has always been subject to volatility and sizable 
market swings.  In the past, this volatility has had little effect on the 
financial condition of Waterhouse Securities.  In addition, management feels 
that the effect of this volatility on the results of the Company's operations 
for any specific period of time may not be representative of the general trend 
in the securities industry or operations of Waterhouse Securities.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company has experienced rapid growth in customer accounts, trade processing 
activity and revenues during the past several years.  The Company believes that 
favorable market conditions and increasing participation of individual 
investors have contributed substantially to this growth.  However, the Company 
also believes that its historical growth is attributable in large measure to 
the expansion of its branch office network, the introduction of new products 
and services, increased advertising and marketing expenditures, and growth in 
the number of individuals comprising the Company's target market.

Waterhouse has historically derived nearly all its revenue from commissions 
charged on securities transactions and from interest earned on customer margin 
balances.  As a result, the revenues and earnings of the Company are directly 
and materially affected by changes in the volume and price level of securities 
transactions, the amount of customer margin loans and the Company's cost of 
funds used to finance such loans.  Accordingly, the Company's revenues and 
earnings have fluctuated materially from quarter to quarter.

INCOME

NET INTEREST INCOME.  Currently, Waterhouse Securities' primary source of 
interest income is margin loans to customers.  These loans are financed 
primarily through bank loans, credit balances in customer accounts (known as 
free credit balances) and subordinated debt.  Net interest income (interest 
income less interest expense) is directly affected by the level of such loans, 
the interest rate charged on those loans, which is based on the then-applicable 
broker call rate, and the cost of financing.  Net interest income increased for 
both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 1995 by 82% and 
61%,respectively, from that of the same periods in the prior year.  Such 
increase in net interest income is primarily a result of a 8% increase in 
average customer margin loans, and an increase in the broker call rate from 
5.25% to 7.75% during the period.  As Waterhouse National Bank becomes fully 
operational, net interest income is expected to further increase and become a 
greater percentage of total income. 

COMMISSIONS AND CLEARING FEES.  Waterhouse Securities acts primarily as an 
agent for customer trading activity, and therefore, the commissions earned by 
Waterhouse Securities are directly affected by the number of trades executed 
and cleared, as well as the average commission rate per trade.  During the 
third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 1995, the number of trades 
executed and cleared by Waterhouse Securities was up 30% and 10%, respectively, 
while the average commission rate per trade was down 3% and 6%, as compared 
with the same periods of fiscal 1994.
   
MUTUAL FUND REVENUES.  Included in mutual fund revenues are commission fees on 
mutual fund and money market transfers.  Such revenues increased 41% for the 
third quarter of fiscal year 1995, and 32% for the first nine months over the 
same periods in the prior year, primarily due to a corresponding increase in 
money market balances.
                                  8
<PAGE>  9

OTHER NONINTEREST INCOME.  Included in other noninterest income are payments 
received for order flow and other miscellaneous revenues. The increase of 38% 
for the third quarter and 20% for the first nine months of fiscal year 1995   
were a result of increased participation by the Company in the order flow 
rebate market.  The SEC has issued new regulations requiring additional 
disclosure of fees received by brokers for order flow.  No assurance can be 
given that any such additional disclosure will not have an adverse effect on 
the Company's revenues.


EXPENSES

EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION.  Employee compensation represented approximately 42% of 
total pre-tax operating expenses in the third quarter and first nine months of 
fiscal 1995, the Company's largest expense.  This expense primarily includes 
salaries, bonuses, profit sharing plan contributions and other related benefits 
and taxes.  Employee compensation expense is directly impacted by the number of 
employees, and partially impacted by the profits of the Company, as the bonuses 
and contributions to the profit sharing plan are dependent on income before 
taxes.

Employee compensation increased 22% in the third quarter and 13% for the first 
nine months, respectively, of fiscal 1995 over the same periods of fiscal 1994,
primarily as a result of an increase in the number of employees from 775 in 
May 1994 to 815 in May 1995.  These increases were necessary to support the 
rapid branch expansion from 60 as of May 31, 1994 to 68 as of May 31, 1995, as 
well as the staffing of Waterhouse National Bank.

COMMUNICATIONS AND DATA PROCESSING, CLEARING FEES AND STATIONERY AND POSTAGE.  
These categories are primarily composed of variable charges related to 
executing and clearing customer transactions, telephone, computer service,  
quotation, clearance, floor brokerage, envelopes and postage charges.  These 
charges increased 19% for the third quarter and 11% for the first nine months, 
respectively, of fiscal year 1995 due to increased customer transactions and 
the continuous upgrading of the company's technology, which includes Trade 
Direct.  

ADVERTISING.  As the branch network expanded at its rapid rate over the past 
several years, Waterhouse Securities increased its advertising campaign with 
larger and more frequent advertising.  The Company's advertisements appear on 
a regular basis in national publications, such as The Wall Street Journal, 
Barron's and Investor's Daily, and run regularly on CNBC and other cable 
television networks.  In addition, the Company introduced a host of new
services during fiscal 1995.  As a result, advertising and promotion expense 
increased 101% and 81% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 
year 1995 over the same periods of the prior year.

OCCUPANCY.  Occupancy expense increased 22% in the third quarter and 16% for 
the first nine months, respectively, of fiscal 1995 vs. the same periods in 
fiscal 1994. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in rental 
expense resulting from the expansion of the Company's branch office network 
and corporate headquarters.

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES.  Included in other operating expenses are 
depreciation and amortization, insurance, professional fees and other 
miscellaneous expenses.  Other operating expenses amounted to $3.8 million in 
the third quarter and $9.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 
1995, resulting in increases of 68% and 55% as compared to the third quarter 
and first nine months of fiscal 1994, respectively.  This increase is primarily 
attributable to equipment purchased used in the general expansion of the 
Company's business during the period.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of May 31, 1995, the Company's financial position remained strong with 
over 97% of total assets consisting of cash, interest bearing deposits with 
other banks, fed funds sold, investment securities and receivables.  The 
Company's assets primarily consist of receiveables from other broker-dealers 
and customers.  Customer receivables of $295 million at May 31, 1995 are 
secured by readily marketable securities, some of which are used to 
collateralize bank loans of $73 million.  The Company's other assets consist 
principally of office and operating equipment.    

Stockholders' equity as of May 31, 1995 was over $62 million, an increase of 
almost $13 million since August 31, 1994.  Such increase was due to earnings 
during the first nine months of fiscal 1995.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

With the establishment of the Waterhouse National Bank on October 13, 1994, 
the Company became subject to regulation as a registered bank holding company 
under the Bank Holding Company Act.  As such, the Company is subject to 
examination by the FRB, regulatory reporting requirements, minimum capital 
requirements and ratios, certain restrictions on non-banking activities, 
transactions with affiliates, tie-in arrangements, changes in control, 
dividend payments, redemptions and other payments to security holders, and 
other restrictions.  Under FRB policy, the Company, as a bank holding company, 
will be expected to act as a source of financial strength to Waterhouse 
National Bank and to commit resources to support the Bank.  Currently, both 
the Company and the Bank have adequate capital, in excess of minimum 
requirements. 

Waterhouse Securities is subject to rules adopted by the SEC, the NASD, the 
NYSE and various state securities law administrators which are designed to 
measure the general financial integrity and liquidity of broker-dealers by 
determining the amount of their net capital.  Waterhouse Securities may not 
pay dividends, distribute capital, prepay subordinated indebtedness or redeem 
or repurchase shares of its capital stock if, thereafter, it would be in 
violation of any such rules.  In the past, Waterhouse Securities has at all 
times maintained net capital in excess of the minimum amount of net capital 
required to be maintained by such rules, and, as of May 31, 1995, Waterhouse 
Securities had net capital in excess of the minimum amount of net capital 
required to be so maintained. 

The Company had available formal and informal lines of credit of approximately 
$255 million (of which $73 million was utilized) at May 31, 1995, which 
require collateralization upon utilization.  These lines of credit, payables 
to customers, and the convertible subordinated notes are the primary sources 
of liquidity for the Company.  Management believes that these primary sources 
of liquidity, along with the equity of the Company, are sufficient to meet the 
working capital needs of its subsidiaries including expansion of the 
securities, clearing and banking operations, as well as any possible future 
acquisitions.


EFFECTS OF INFLATION

For the nine month period ended May 31, 1995, there was no material effect 
on the Company due to inflation.
