                  CHARTER ONE FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

1.  The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
    consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Charter
    One Financial, Inc. ("the Company" or "Charter One") 1995 Annual Report to
    Shareholders. The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which
    are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
    results for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal
    recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods
    disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
    expected for a full year.

2.  On June 28, 1996 the Company completed the acquisition of First Nationwide
    Bank's 21 branch offices in the Detroit Metropolitan area. Four First
    Nationwide offices directly overlapped existing branch offices and therefore
    were consolidated into the existing branch facilities. The deposits of the
    branches totaled $796.7 million and were assumed for a cost of $57.0
    million. Such cost has been reflected as goodwill in the accompanying
    financial statements.

3.  On July 24, 1996 the Company's Board of Directors approved a 5% stock
    dividend which will be distributed September 30, 1996, to shareholders of
    record on September 13, 1996. It is the Board's intention, subject to
    ongoing review of the Company's operating results and prospects, to maintain
    the quarterly cash dividend at no less than $.23 per share subsequent to the
    distribution of the stock dividend. If maintained at that level, this would
    represent an increase of 5% in the cash dividend paid to common
    shareholders. Par value will remain at $.01 per share. Pro forma earnings
    per share, giving retroactive effect to the stock dividend, are presented
    below.

4.  On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
    Standard ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
    Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." This Statement requires
    that long-lived assets and certain identified intangibles held and used by
    an entity, along with goodwill related to those assets, be reviewed for
    impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
    carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss must
    be recognized if the estimate of the future cash flows (undiscounted and
    without interest charges) resulting from the use of the asset and its
    eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The
    adoption of this Statement has not had a material effect on the Company's
    financial condition or results of operations.

5.  On January 1, 1996, the Company also adopted SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for
    Mortgage Servicing Rights." SFAS No. 122 amends SFAS No. 65, "Accounting for
    Certain Mortgage Banking Activities," to require that a company recognize,
    as a separate asset, rights to service mortgage loans for others, regardless
    of how those servicing rights are acquired. A company that acquires mortgage
    servicing rights through either the purchase or origination of mortgage
    loans and sells or securitizes those loans with the servicing rights
    retained should allocate the total cost of the mortgage loans to the
    mortgage servicing rights and the loans (without the mortgage servicing
    rights) based upon their relative values, if it is practicable to estimate
    those fair values. This Statement also requires that a company periodically
    assess its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment based upon
    the fair value of those rights. The adoption of this Statement has not had a
    material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of
    operations.

6.  Effective January 1, 1996, Charter One adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
    Stock-Based Compensation," which prescribes financial accounting and
    reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. The
    Statement defines a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock
    options or similar equity instruments and encourages all entities to adopt
    that method of accounting for all employee stock compensation plans.
    However, the Statement also allows an entity to continue to measure
    compensation cost for these plans using an intrinsic value based method of
    accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB
    No. 25"). Entities electing to retain the accounting treatment under APB No.
    25 must make pro forma footnote disclosures of net income and earnings per
    share as if the fair value based method of accounting defined in this
    Statement has been applied. Management has elected to

                                        5

<PAGE>   8




    continue using the APB No. 25 accounting method and include pro forma
    disclosures when presenting complete financial statement footnotes in the
    future.

7.  On October 31, 1995, Charter One completed a merger of equals with FirstFed
    Michigan Corporation ("FirstFed") which was accounted for as a pooling of
    interests and, accordingly, the financial statements for the Company for all
    periods prior to the merger have been restated to include the results of
    FirstFed. FirstFed was the holding company for First Federal of Michigan
    ("First Federal"), a $7.7 billion savings and loan headquartered in Detroit,
    Michigan. The merger was effected through the issuance of 1.2 shares of
    Company common stock for each share of FirstFed common stock resulting in
    the issuance of 22,506,201 shares.

8.  Certain items in the consolidated financial statements for 1995 have been
    reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS


HOLDING COMPANY BUSINESS

GENERAL

Charter One Financial, Inc. ("Charter One" or the "Company") is a unitary
savings and loan holding company incorporated in Delaware and is the parent
company of Charter One Bank, F.S.B. ("Charter One Bank" or the "Bank"), a
federally chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. The
bank has 172 branch locations: 94 branches in Ohio operating under the name
Charter One Bank and 78 branches in Michigan under the name First Federal of
Michigan ("First Federal"). The two-state branch franchise was created through a
merger of equals transaction in October 1995 when FirstFed Michigan Corporation
was combined with Charter One ("the Merger").


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $41.4 million, or $.90
per share, up 33.3% from $31.0 million, or $.68 per share, for the second
quarter of 1995. The increase in net income was attributable to increases in net
interest income and services fees and other charges which were partially offset
by losses on the sale of investment securities and increased administrative
expenses.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $79.8 million, or $1.74
per share, compared to $60.4 million, or $1.32 per share, in the same period of
1995. The 32.3% increase in net income was also attributable to increases in net
interest income and service fees and other charges which were partially offset
by losses on the sales of investment securities and increased administrative
expenses.

Net income for both the current quarter and the year-to-date periods increased
over the comparable 1995 periods as a result of overall improvement in
categories described by industry practice as core earnings. Core earnings are
recurring in nature. Thus, core earnings would exclude nonrecurring items such
as gains and losses on sales of assets and merger related expenses. As Figure 1
illustrates, the Company's favorable trend in core earnings continued as pretax
core earnings for the second quarter of 1996 increased by 11.9% over the first
quarter of 1996.

The increase in net income in the second quarter of 1996 contributed to a 17.80%
annualized return on average equity and a 1.22% annualized return on average
assets. This compares to second quarter 1995 annualized returns of 14.20% and
 .84%, respectively. These annualized returns and other selected ratios are set
forth in Figure 2.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income is the principal source of earnings for the Company. It is
affected by a number of factors including the level, pricing and maturity of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as interest
rate fluctuations and asset quality.

Figure 3 sets forth information concerning Charter One's interest-earning
assets, interest-bearing liabilities, net interest income, interest rate spreads
and net yield on average interest-earning assets during the periods indicated
(including fees which are considered adjustments to yields). Average balance
calculations are based on daily balances.

</TABLE>


Net interest income for the second quarter of 1996 was $98.9 million, a $22.0
million, or 28.6%, increase over net interest income for the second quarter of
1995. Net interest income increased primarily due to a lower cost of
interest-bearing liabilities. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 4.92%
in the 1996 period and 5.78% during the 1995 period. This 86 basis points
decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities lowered interest expense by
$24.8 million. This improvement was primarily a result of the financial
restructuring undertaken in the fourth quarter of 1995 in conjunction with the
Merger. That financial restructuring included the termination of $750 million in
interest rate exchange agreements ("swaps") and $800 million in interest rate
cap agreements ("caps"). These off-balance sheet interest rate risk management
tools were being used to hedge interest-bearing liabilities which were
eliminated in the financial restructuring. At the time they were terminated,
they were having an adverse effect on net interest income. Terminating these
positions reduced the cost of interest-bearing liabilities in 1996. The interest
rate spread was 2.77% for the three months ended June 30, 1996, compared to
1.87% for the second quarter of 1995. Also, the net yield on interest-earning
assets improved to 3.02% for the 1996 period from 2.14% during the 1995 period.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $190.9 million, a
$36.8 million, or 23.8%, increase over the same period in 1995. This improvement
was also primarily attributable to a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing
liabilities. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 5.00% for the six
months ended June 30, 1996. This was 71 basis points less than the cost for the
same period in 1995. The lower cost of interest-bearing liabilities caused
interest expense to decrease by $39.3 million. This lower cost was also a result
of the financial restructuring undertaken in the fourth quarter of 1995 in
conjunction with the Merger as discussed in the previous paragraph. The
reduction in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was the primary reason the
interest rate spread improved to 2.73% for the first six months of 1996 from

OTHER INCOME


Other income (as seen in Figure 6 above) for the three months ended June 30,
1996 was $10.6 million compared to $13.3 million for the second quarter of 1995.
This $2.8 million decrease was primarily due to losses on the sales of
investment securities from the Company's available-for-sale portfolio in the
second quarter of 1996 which were partially offset by increases in recurring fee
income. The loss on the sale of investment securities was $2.0 million in the
second quarter of 1996. The sales in the 1996 period were executed to reduce
interest rate risk and purchase higher yielding investments. In the second
quarter of 1995, the Company reported a net gain of $2.1 million on sales of
investment securities. When 


                                       12
<PAGE>   15



comparing the two second quarter periods, the net effect of investment
securities sales activity reduced other income by $4.1 million. That decrease
was partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in recurring fee income: $1.9
million in service fees and other charges, $674,000 in loan servicing fees and
$74,000 in leasing operations. The increase in fee income was primarily
attributable to fees from checking accounts, fees on servicing loans for others,
brokerage commissions earned by a subsidiary of the Bank, and penalties on
payoffs of commercial real estate loans. Checking account fees increased as a
result of an increase in the number of accounts open at June 30, 1996, compared
to June 30, 1995. The reasons for the increase included introducing the programs
in Michigan during the quarter, with no comparable activity in 1995, and the
continuing sales effort in Ohio. Loan servicing fees increased due to the higher
balance of loans serviced for others resulting from $330 million of mortgage
loans that were sold, with servicing retained, as part of the fourth quarter
1995 financial restructuring. Brokerage commissions were higher in 1996 because
brokerage services were only introduced in 1995 and have been expanded in 1996.
The prepayment penalty related to an early payoff on a $12.5 million commercial
real estate loan in 1996.

Other income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $22.4 million as
compared to $25.9 million for the 1995 period. This $3.5 million decrease was
also primarily due to losses on the sales of investment securities described in
the preceding paragraph that were partially offset by increases in recurring fee
income. In the comparable 1995 period, a gain of $3.4 million was recorded on
sales of investment securities. As a result, investment securities activity
accounted for a $5.4 million decrease in other income from the first half of
1995 to the first half of 1996. This decrease was partially offset by increases
of $2.9 million in service fees and other charges, $432,000 in loan servicing
fees and $150,000 in leasing operations. The primary reasons for these increases
were the same as explained in the previous paragraph concerning the
quarter-to-quarter comparisons.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

As shown in Figure 7, administrative expenses for the second quarter of 1996
were $46.1 million, compared to $42.8 million in the second quarter of 1995.
This increase of $3.2 million was primarily attributable to increased lending
activities and merger-related conversion expenses. Overall, administrative
expenses remained at favorable levels as illustrated by the 41.1% efficiency
ratio for the second quarter of 1996, compared to 48.9% for the same period in
1995. Compensation and employee benefits expenses increased by $1.4 million due
to increased lending support functions, and the introduction of Charter One's
retail products into the Michigan market. The other administrative expenses
increased as a result of operational conversion expenses related to telephone
lines, office supplies and stationery, ATM fees and business travel expenses.

Other administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $90.6
million, compared to $88.0 million in the 1995 period. This $2.6 million
increase was also primarily attributable to increased lending activities and
mergerrelated conversion expenses together with an increase in state tax
expense. ATM fees, office supplies and stationery expenses were the primary
reasons other administrative expenses were $1.1 million higher in the 1996
period. State taxes were $860,000 higher in 1996 than the first six months of
1995 due to higher assessment bases. The state of Ohio tax is based upon net
worth and the Michigan tax is based upon gross revenues. Both of these
assessment bases were higher when calculating 


                                       13
<PAGE>   16


the 1996 tax expense. Despite the increase in administrative expenses, the
Company's efficiency ratio for the six months ended June 30, 1996 improved to
42.0% from 50.1% for the first six months of 1995. This efficiency ratio is
among the best in the financial services industry.


FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The provision for federal income taxes for the first half and second quarter of
1996 increased by $9.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively, over the 1995
periods due to higher pre-tax income for the 1996 periods. The effective tax
rates were comparable at 33.9% and 33.7% for the first half and second quarter
of 1996 and 34.1% for the first half and second quarter of 1995.

OVERVIEW


At June 30, 1996, total assets were $14.0 billion which was $373.0 million, or
2.7%, higher than at December 31, 1995. This growth was primarily in the loan
and lease portfolio as that portfolio grew by $527.6 million, or 7.9%, during
the first six months of 1996. The growth in the loan and lease portfolio was
primarily due to record levels of loan originations (see Figure 10).
Mortgage-backed securities stood at $5.6 billion at June 30, 1996 which was
$305.3 million, or 5.7%, higher than at December 31, 1995. This growth was
primarily due to a $510.4 million exchange of loans for Federal National
Mortgage Association ("FNMA") participation certificates in June. Those FNMA
participation certificates were committed to be sold as of June 30, 1996 with
settlement in July. A loss on sale of $289,000 was recorded in June 1996 on this
transaction.

Total deposits were $7.8 billion at June 30, 1996 which was $804.6 million, or
11.5%, higher than at December 31, 1995. The primary reason for this deposit
growth was the acquisition of First Nationwide Bank's 21 branch offices in the
Detroit Metropolitan Area as of the close of business on June 28, 1996. The
deposits acquired in this acquisition totaled $796.7 million. Four First
Nationwide offices directly overlapped existing Michigan branch offices so they
were consolidated into existing branch facilities. Borrowings declined by $462.7
million, or 8.5%, as a portion of the deposits obtained in the First Nationwide
acquisition were used to pay down higher cost borrowings.

The loan and lease portfolio has increased $527.6 million, or 7.9%, since
December 31, 1995, with growth concentrated in the mortgage and consumer loan
portfolio. Real estate mortgage loans grew by $250.5 million, or 4.1%, and the
consumer loan portfolio grew by $215.4 million, or 36.2%, in the first six
months of 1996 (see Figure 10). One-to-four family loans led the mortgage loan
growth and closed-end loans secured by real estate was the primary leader of the
consumer loan growth. The expansion into the Michigan market of Charter One's
loan product line has been well received as the Michigan Division accounted for
approximately 37% of the one-to-four family loan origination volume and 24% of
the consumer loan origination volume. The growth in the one-to-four family loan
portfolio was achieved despite a $510.4 million exchange of mortgage loans for
FNMA participation certificates in June 1996.

Loan and lease originations and repayments for the 1996 periods increased over
the comparable periods in 1995 due, in part, to increases in loan refinance
activity as customers responded to the favorable interest rate environment in
1996. The annualized level of principal repayments as a percent of the average
portfolio in the first and second quarters of 1996 was 25% and 29%,
respectively. This compared to 18% in both the first and second quarters of
1995. Although refinance activity was higher early in 1996 than it had been in
1995, it appears the level is declining mid-year. At March 31, 1996, 43% of the
single-family loan pipeline was attributable to refinance activity while at June
30, 1996, the level had declined to 18%.

As previously disclosed, on December 31, 1995 management chose to reclassify
$1.1 billion of MBS from the held to maturity portfolio to available for sale in
accordance with the FASB special report, "A Guide to Implementation of Statement
115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." It was
also disclosed that, after a sufficient period of market value risk, management
intended to reclassify these same securities back to the held to maturity
portfolio. This reclassification occurred on January 31, 1996, and resulted in a
$42.2 million after-tax increase in shareholders' equity. During the first half
of 1996, $326.1 million of available for sale securities were sold for total
proceeds of $324.0 million, all at the beginning of the year. The loss of $2.2
million was recorded at the trade date in December 1995. Purchases of
mortgage-backed securities during the first half of 1996 totaled $567.1 million
and were primarily medium-term, fixed-rate collateralized mortgage obligations.

At June 30, 1996, the Bank had a commitment to sell $510.4 million of the FNMA
fixed-rate participation certificates included above. These participation
certificates were made up of seasoned 15- to 30-year fixed-rate mortgage loans
originated by the Bank and swapped to FNMA for participation certificates in
June 1996. The sale resulted in a $289,000 net loss and recognition of $2.7
million of originated mortgage servicing rights, both of which were recorded in
June 1996. Recognition of the servicing rights was in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122 "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights" which Charter One adopted as of January 1, 1996.

The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of ending loans and
leases (before the allowance) was .90% at June 30, 1996, down slightly from .96%
at December 31, 1995, reflecting second quarter loan growth. Credit quality
remained high, with nonperforming assets at only .38% of total assets at June
30, 1996. Net charge-offs totaled $950,000 and $1.2 million (including $874,000
related to one commercial real estate loan) for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996, respectively. Net charge-offs for the comparable periods of 1995
were $372,000 and $1.1 million.

Management believes that the allowance for loan and lease losses has been
established in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles based on
the best information available. However, future adjustments to reserves may be
necessary and net income could be significantly affected if circumstances and/or
economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the
initial determinations. A downturn in the Ohio or Michigan real estate markets
could result in an increased level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs,
significant provisions for loan and lease losses and significant reductions in
income. Additionally, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of
their examination process, periodically 


                                       19

review the Bank's allowance for loan and lease losses. Such agencies may require
the recognition of additions to the allowance based on their judgments of
information available to them at the time of their examination.

Figure 16 sets forth information concerning nonperforming assets and the
allowance for loan and lease losses. At June 30, 1996, the Bank had no
outstanding commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were
on nonaccrual or restructured status.

</TABLE>


Nonperforming assets at June 30, 1996 totaled $53.2 million, down slightly from
December 31, 1995. The ratios of nonperforming loans and leases to total loans
and leases declined at June 30, 1996 from December 31, 1995.

At June 30, 1996, there were $30.0 million of loans not reflected in the table
above, where known information about possible credit problems of borrowers
caused management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply
with present loan repayment terms and that may result in disclosure of such
loans in the future. Included in the total is a $12.3 million loan on apartment
buildings and $7.3 million loan on a hotel property in Illinois. The current
cash flow of the hotel property is sufficient to meet current debt service
requirements. The apartment building has experienced past cash flow shortfalls,
but the loan is current.

SOURCES OF FUNDS

GENERAL

Deposits have historically been the most important source of the Bank's funds
for use in lending and for general business purposes. The Bank also derives
funds from Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances, reverse repurchase
agreements and other borrowings, principal repayments on loans and
mortgage-backed securities, funds provided by operations and proceeds from the
sale of loans and loan participations. At June 30, 1996, 61% of interest-bearing
liabilities were in the form of deposits and 39% were in borrowings compared
with 56% and 44% for deposits and borrowings, respectively, at December 31,
1995.

DEPOSITS

Deposit inflows and outflows are significantly influenced by general interest
rates, market conditions and competitive factors. The Bank reprices its deposits
primarily based on competitive conditions. In order to decrease the volatility
of its deposits, the Bank imposes stringent early withdrawal penalties on its
certificates of deposit. Consumer and commercial deposits are attracted
principally within the Bank's primary market areas through the offering of a
broad range of deposit instruments.

Total deposits were $7.8 billion at June 30, 1996 which was $804.6 million, or
11.5%, higher than at December 31, 1995. The primary reason for this deposit
growth was the acquisition of First Nationwide Bank's 21 branch offices in the
Detroit Metropolitan Area as of the close of business on June 28, 1996. The
deposits acquired in this acquisition totaled $796.7 million. Four First
Nationwide offices directly overlapped existing Michigan branch offices so they
were consolidated into existing branch facilities. The cost of the First
Nationwide deposits was 4.30% which contributed to the overall decline in the
cost of deposits to 4.39% at June 30, 1996 from 4.61% at December 31, 1995.


BORROWINGS

At June 30, 1996, borrowings primarily consisted of FHLB advances and reverse
repurchase agreements. These positions were secured by Charter One's investment
in the stock of the FHLB, as well as $5.3 billion in real estate loans and $2.2
billion in mortgage-backed securities.

The variable-rate advances reprice based upon LIBOR at one- to six-month
intervals, and included $145 million with a 6.00% LIBOR cap, and $573 million
which are callable, at par, by the FHLB.

Charter One has also entered into stand-alone interest rate cap agreements
applicable to certain variable-rate and short-term, fixed-rate FHLB advances.
Reference is made to "Interest Rate Risk Management" for additional discussion.

Figure 19 presents a summary of outstanding reverse repurchase agreements. The
Bank enters into short-term reverse repurchase agreements for terms up to one

at par, and $200 million maturing in 1998 which are convertible, at the
counterparty's option, to a floating rate of three-month LIBOR, beginning June
1997 and quarterly thereafter.


INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company utilizes various types of interest rate contracts in managing its
interest rate risk on certain of its deposits and FHLB advances and reverse
repurchase agreements. The Company has utilized fixed payment swaps to convert
certain of its floating-rate or short-term, fixed-rate liabilities into longer
term, fixed-rate instruments. Under these agreements, the Company has agreed to
pay interest to the counterparty on a notional principal amount at a fixed rate
defined in the agreement, and receive interest at a floating rate indexed to
LIBOR. The amounts of interest exchanged are calculated on the basis of notional
principal amounts. The Company also utilizes fixed receipt swaps to convert
certain of its longer term callable certificates of deposit into short-term
variable instruments. Under these agreements the Company has agreed to

receive interest from the counterparty on a notional amount at a fixed rate
defined in the agreement, and to pay interest at a floating rate indexed to
LIBOR.

The Company also utilizes swaps to hedge a special class of certificates of
deposit. These swaps provide for the receipt of variable interest based upon the
S&P 500 Index, and the payment of both fixed and variable interest. At June 30,
1996, the notional principal amount outstanding was $29.9 million with a
weighted average receipt rate of 15.72% and payment rate of 5.59%. At December
31, 1995, the outstanding principal was $24.2 million with receipt and payment
rates of 14.28% and 5.85%, respectively.

In 1995, the Company entered into $300 million of four-year interest rate floor
agreements maturing in March 1999, which provide for receipt of interest when
six-month LIBOR falls below 6.00%. The Company receives the difference between
6.00% and LIBOR at the time of repricing, calculated on the $300 million
notional amount. At June 30, 1996, interest received of 5.30% was partially
offset by a .07% per annum fee cost. Fees paid at inception of the agreements
are being amortized over the terms of the agreements. Unamortized fees totaled
$567,000 at June 30, 1996.

The Company has entered into caps with primary dealers to limit its exposure to
rising rates on certain of its variable-rate and short-term, fixed-rate
liabilities (Figure 21). These stand-alone agreements supplement the cap
provisions which have been incorporated into some of the Company's borrowings.
The agreements provide for receipt of interest when three-month LIBOR exceeds an
agreed upon base rate. The Company receives a rate of interest equal to the
excess of three-month LIBOR at the time of repricing over the 6.00% base rate,
calculated on a notional principal amount. The agreements reprice quarterly.
Fees paid at inception of the agreements are being amortized over the terms of
the agreements. Unamortized fees totaled $1.3 million at June 30, 1996.

LIQUIDITY

The Bank's principal sources of funds are deposits, FHLB advances, reverse
repurchase agreements, repayments and maturities on loans and securities,
proceeds from the sale of securities and funds provided by operations. While
scheduled loan, security and interest-bearing deposit amortization and
maturities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan
and security prepayments are greatly influenced by economic conditions, the
general level of interest rates and competition. The Bank utilizes particular
sources of funds based on comparative costs and availability. The Bank generally
manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a steady deposit balance, but
has from time to time decided not to pay rates on deposits as high as its
competition and, when necessary, to supplement deposits with longer term and/or
less expensive alternative sources of funds such as advances. Management also
considers the Bank's interest-sensitivity profile when deciding on alternative
sources of funds. At June 30, 1996, the Bank's one-year gap was a negative
5.00%.

The Bank is required by regulation to maintain specific minimum levels of liquid
investments. Regulations currently in effect require the Bank to maintain liquid
assets at least equal to 5.0% of the sum of its average daily balance of net
withdrawable accounts and borrowed funds due in one year or less. This
regulatory requirement may be changed from time to time to reflect current
economic conditions. The Bank's average regulatory liquidity ratio for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996 was 5.97%.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of management.
The Bank adjusts its investments in cash and cash equivalents based upon
management's assessment of (i) expected loan and lease demand, (ii) projected
security maturities, (iii) expected deposit flows, (iv) yields available on
short-term investments, and (v) the objectives of its asset/liability management
program. Excess liquidity is invested generally in federal funds sold,
interest-bearing deposits and short-term agency and corporate debt securities.
If the Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it
has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB and collateral eligible for
reverse repurchase agreements.

The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available during the
next 12 months to meet current and future loan commitments. At June 30, 1996,
the Bank and its subsidiaries had outstanding commitments to originate loans and
leases of $546.9 million, unfunded lines of consumer credit totaling $380.0
million (a significant portion of which normally remains undrawn) and unfunded
lines of commercial (business loans) credit totaling $83.3 million. Certificates
of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at June 30, 1996 totaled $3.6
billion. Management believes that a significant portion of the amounts maturing
during the next 12 months will remain with the Bank because they are retail
deposits. At June 30, 1996, the Bank had $1.1 billion of advances from the FHLB
and $250.0 million of reverse repurchase agreements which mature during the next
12 months. Management will review the need for advances and reverse repurchase
agreements when they mature and believes the Bank has significant additional
borrowing capacity.


CAPITAL AND DIVIDENDS

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can
initiate certain actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Company's financial statements. The regulations require
the Bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items
as calculated under regulatory practices. The Bank's capital classification is
also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors.

                                       24

<PAGE>   27



Quantitative measures established by the regulators to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of tangible, core and
total risk-based capital. Prompt Corrective Action regulations require specific
supervisory actions as capital levels decrease. To be considered adequately
capitalized under the regulatory framework for Prompt Corrective Action, the
Bank must maintain minimum Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based and total
risk-based capital ratios as set forth in Figure 23 below. The Bank's actual
capital and ratios are also presented in Figure 23.

Management believes that as of June 30, 1996, the Bank meets all capital
requirements to which it is subject. Events beyond management's control, such as
significant fluctuations in interest rates or a significant downturn in the
economy in areas in which the Bank's loans and securities are concentrated,
could adversely affect future earnings and, consequently, the Bank's ability to
meet its future capital requirements.

During the fourth quarter of 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company
authorized management to repurchase up to 1.2 million shares of the Company's
common stock. Shares repurchased under this authorization are held in treasury
and are available for issuance upon the exercise of stock options or for other
corporate purposes. As of June 30, 1996, all of the shares had been repurchased
under this authorization.

On May 15, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized management to
repurchase 5% of the Company's outstanding common stock in an additional buyback
program. As of that date, the Company had 45,099,654 common shares outstanding.

ITEM 5.     OTHER INFORMATION

DIVIDEND

On July 24, 1996, the Directors of Charter One Financial, Inc. declared a
quarterly cash dividend of 23 cents per common share. The dividend will be
payable on August 19, 1996 to shareholders of record as of August 7, 1996.

In addition, the Board approved a 5% stock dividend which will be distributed
September 30, 1996, to shareholders of record on September 13, 1996. It is the
Board's intention, subject to ongoing review of the Company's operating results
and prospects, to maintain the quarterly cash dividend at no less than $.23 per
share subsequent to the distribution of the stock dividend. If maintained at
that level, this would represent an increase of 5% in the cash dividend paid to
common shareholders.


RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

The deposits of savings associations such as Charter One Bank are presently
insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), which along with the
Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), comprise the two insurance funds administered by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Financial institutions which
are members of the BIF have an insurance premium schedule which ranges from 0%
to .27% (with a $2,000 minimum annual assessment) of insured deposits as
compared to the current range of .23% to .31% of insured deposits for members of
SAIF. Therefore, well-capitalized and healthy BIF members pay a significantly
lower premium than comparable SAIF-insured institutions such as Charter One
Bank. The disparity is due to the BIF having reached its statutory reserve ratio
of 1.25% of insured deposits, while the SAIF is not anticipated to reach that
statutory reserve level until 2002, absent a substantial increase in the premium
rate or the imposition of special assessments or other significant developments,
such as the merger of the SAIF and BIF. As a result of this disparity,
management believes SAIF members have been placed at a competitive disadvantage
to BIF members with respect to pricing of loans and deposits and the ability to
achieve lower operating costs.

Various segments of the United States Government have attempted to address the
insurance premium disparity through proposed legislation that has ranged from
recapitalizing the SAIF through a special assessment to merging the SAIF and BIF
and eliminating the thrift charter. Although a special assessment would reduce
the Bank's regulatory capital, it would not likely jeopardize its
well-capitalized status. Additionally, the reduced premium rate that is expected
to result would reduce administrative costs going forward. Finally, management
does not believe a SAIF/BIF combination or elimination of the thrift charter (as
currently proposed) would have a significant impact on future operations of the
Bank. No assurances can be given as to the likelihood that any of the proposed
legislation will become law.
