             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 February 28, 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 February 28,
      1995, Waterhouse Securities had net capital in excess of its required net
      capital.

3. RECLASSIFICATION
      The consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three and 
      six months ended February 28, 1994 have been reclassified to conform with
      the presentation adopted for the three and six months ended February 28,
      1995 because of the Company's registration as a bank holding company.

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, Inc. 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.  Shortly after 
the Federal Reserve Board (the "FRB") began raising interest rates in February 
1994, trading activity slowed.  This slowdown, along with the Company's added 
expenses from expansion of services, the branch office network, and 
Waterhouse National Bank had a negative impact on its earnings in the second
quarter.

the amount for the previous period:

</TABLE>


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
the second quarter of fiscal year 1995 by 68% from that of the same period in 
the prior year.  Such increase in net interest income is primarily a result of 
a 10% increase in average customer margin loans, and an increase in the broker 
call rate from 5% 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 
second quarter of fiscal year 1995, the number of trades executed and cleared 
by Waterhouse Securities was relatively constant  while the average commission 
per trade dropped approximately 8% as compared with the second quarter of 
fiscal 1994.   

MUTUAL FUND REVENUES.  Included in mutual fund revenues are commission fees on 
mutual fund and money market transfers.  Such revenues increased 27% for the 
second quarter of fiscal year 1995 over the same period 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 19% 
for the second quarter of fiscal year 1995 was primarily 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 43% of 
total pre-tax operating expenses in the second quarter 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 7% in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 over 
the second quarter of fiscal 1994,  primarily as a result of an increase in 
the number of employees from February 28, 1994 to February 28, 1995.  These 
increases were necessary to support the rapid branch expansion from 56 as of 
February 28, 1994 to 64 as of February 28, 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 7% for the second quarter of fiscal year 1995 primarily due 
to the continuous upgrading of the company's technology, which includes 
Trade Direct and a nationwide telephone system.

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.  As a result, advertising and promotion expense increased 
82%  for the second quarter of fiscal year 1995 over the second quarter of the 
prior year.

OCCUPANCY.  Occupancy expense increased 12% in the second quarter of fiscal 
1995 vs. the second quarter of 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 $2.8 million 
in the second quarter of fiscal year 1995, resulting in an increase of 56% 
as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1994.  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 February 28, 1995, the Company's financial position remained strong with 
over 97% of total assets consisting of cash, fed funds sold, investment 
securities and receivables.  The Company's assets primarily consist of 
receivables from other broker-dealers and customers.  Customer receivables 
of $285 million at February 28, 1995 are secured by readily marketable 
securities, some of which are used to collateralize bank loans of $99 million. 
The Company's other assets consist principally of office and operating 
equipment.    

Stockholders' equity as of February 28, 1995 was over $57 million, an increase 
in excess of $7 million since August 31, 1994.  Such increase was due to 
earnings during the first six 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 February 28, 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 
$235 million (of which $99 million was utilized) at February 28, 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
