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 September 30, 1996, legislation passed that imposes a one-time assessment
of 65.7 basis points on the amount of deposits held at March 31, 1995 by
Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") member institutions, including
Charter One Bank F.S.B., a wholly owned subsidiary of Charter One
Financial. Charter One's assessment amounted to $56.3 million and the full
amount is a component of administrative expenses for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 1996. The assessment, which must be paid by
November 29, 1996, is being made to recapitalize the SAIF to the required
level of 1.25% of insured deposits. The current deposit insurance rate of
23 basis points of deposits is expected to be reduced due to the one-time
assessment and is estimated to be 6.5 basis points of deposits. The
expected reduction in expense for the year ended December 31, 1997, based
on the Bank's September 30, 1996 deposit base, is estimated to be $12.8
million which, after considering the cost of funding the assessment, is
expected to increase earnings per share between $.13 and $.15 for 1997.
3. During the third quarter, legislation was passed that repealed Section 593
of the Internal Revenue Code for taxable years beginning after December 31,
1995. Section 593 allowed thrift institutions, including Charter One, to use
the percentage-of-taxable income bad debt accounting method, if more
favorable than the specific charge-off method, for Federal income tax
purposes. The excess reserves (deduction based on the percentage-of-taxable
income less the deduction based on the specific charge-off method)
accumulated post-1987 are required to be recaptured ratably over a six-year
period beginning in 1996. The recapture has no effect on the Company's
statement of operations as taxes were provided for in prior years in
accordance with SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The timing of this
recapture may be delayed for a one or two-year period to the extent that
Charter One originates more residential loans than the average originations
in the past six years. Charter One will meet the origination requirement for
1996 and, therefore, will delay recapture at least until the six-year period
beginning in 1997. The recapture amount of $17.1 million will result in
payments totaling $6.0 million which has been previously accrued. The same
legislation forgave the tax liability on pre-1987 accumulated bad debt
reserves which would have penalized any thrift choosing to adopt a bank
charter because the tax would have become due and payable. The unrecorded
potential liability that was forgiven approximated $60 million.
4. 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.
5. On July 24, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 5% stock
dividend which was distributed September 30, 1996, to shareholders of record
on September 13, 1996. Par value will remain at $.01 per share. All
references to the number of shares and per share amounts have been restated
to reflect the effect of the stock dividend. On October 16, 1996, the
Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of 23 cents per common share
which represents a 5% increase from last quarter when the Company paid 21.9
cents after adjusting for the 5% stock dividend. The cash dividend will be
payable on November 18, 1996 to shareholders of record as of November 1,
1996.
6. 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
<PAGE> 8
7. 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. SFAS 122 will be superseded by SFAS 125, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of
Liabilities" ("SFAS 125"), as described in Note 9, effective January 1,
1997.
8. 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 continue using the APB
No. 25 accounting method and include pro forma disclosures when presenting
complete financial statement footnotes in the future.
9. In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS 125. SFAS 125 amends portions of SFAS
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,"
amends and extends to all servicing assets and liabilities the accounting
standards for mortgage servicing rights now in SFAS 65, and supersedes SFAS
122. The Statement provides consistent standards for distinguishing
transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured
borrowings. Those standards are based upon consistent application of a
financial components approach that focuses on control. The Statement also
defines accounting treatment for servicing assets and other retained
interests in the assets that are transferred. SFAS 125 is effective for
transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996 and is to be applied
prospectively. Management has not completed the process of evaluating SFAS
No. 125 and therefore has not determined the impact, if any, that adopting
this statement will have on the financial position and results of
operations.
10. 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 (not
adjusted for subsequent stock dividend) of Company common stock for each
share of FirstFed common stock resulting in the issuance of 22,506,201
shares (not adjusted for subsequent stock dividend).
11. 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
The Company reported net income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 of
$5.0 million. This net income was adversely affected by an after-tax charge of
$37.1 million which resulted from a special assessment relating to the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") on September 30, 1996. This special
assessment was levied by an act of Congress in an effort to recapitalize the
SAIF to the required level of 1.25% of insured deposits. The current deposit
insurance rate of 23 basis points of deposits is expected to be reduced due to
the one-time assessment and is estimated to be 6.5 basis points of deposits. The
expected reduction in expense for the year ended December 31, 1997, based on the
Bank's September 30, 1996 deposit base, is estimated to be $12.8 million which,
after considering the cost of funding the assessment, is estimated to increase
earnings per share between $.13 and $.15.
Exclusive of this SAIF assessment, earnings were $42.2 million, or $.88 per
share, in the third quarter of 1996 as compared to $32.1 million, or $.66 per
share, in the third quarter of 1995. This increase was attributable to increases
in net interest income and recurring fee income which were partially offset by
increased loan loss provisions, lower gains on sale of securities and higher
administrative expenses.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $84.9 million, or
$1.77 per share, as compared to $92.5 million, or $1.92 per share, for the
comparable period in 1995. This decrease of $7.6 million was attributable to the
SAIF assessment at September 30, 1996. Excluding this special assessment,
earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $122.0 million, an
increase of $29.5 million over the same period in 1995. This increase was
attributable to increases in net interest income and recurring fee income which
were partially offset by increased loan loss provisions, lower gains on sale of
securities and higher 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. As Figure 1 illustrates, core earnings would exclude
nonrecurring items such as gains and losses on sales of assets, merger-related
expenses and the federal deposit insurance special assessment. The pretax core
earnings for the current quarter were $18.1 million higher, or 40.1%, than the
third quarter of 1995 as net interest income increased by $19.3 million, or
24.8%.

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.

</TABLE>
Net interest income for the third quarter of 1996 was $97.2 million, a $19.3
million, or 24.8%, increase over net interest income for the third quarter of
1995. Net interest income increased primarily due to a lower cost of
interest-bearing liabilities. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 4.97%
in the 1996 period and 5.79% during the 1995 period. This 82 basis points
decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities lowered interest expense by
$21.5 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 2.67 % for the three months ended September 30, 1996, compared
to 1.87% for the third quarter of 1995. Also, the net yield on interest-earning
assets improved to 2.92% for the 1996 period from 2.15% during the 1995 period.
Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $288.1
million, a $56.1 million, or 24.2%, 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 4.99%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This was 75 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 $60.4 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 2.68% for the first nine
months of 1996 from 1.86% for the comparable period of 1995. Likewise, the net
yield on interest-earning assets improved to 2.95% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 from 2.14% in the 1995 period.

OTHER INCOME
Other income (as seen in Figure 6 above) for the three months ended September
30, 1996 was $15.0 million compared to $14.6 million for the third quarter of
1995. This $349,000 increase was primarily due to increases in recurring fee
income which was partially offset by lower gains on sales. The increase in fee
income was primarily attributable to fees from checking accounts, fees on
servicing loans for others and brokerage commissions earned by a subsidiary of
the Bank. Checking account fees increased as a result of an increase in the
number of accounts open at September 30,
12
<PAGE> 15
1996, compared to September 30, 1995. The reasons for the increase included
introducing the Company's checking account programs in Michigan during 1996,
with no comparable activity in 1995, and the continuing sales effort in Ohio.
Also, the Bank added 17 additional offices in the Detroit, Michigan metropolitan
area from First Nationwide Bank at June 28, 1996. In this acquisition, the Bank
acquired over 55,000 demand deposit accounts. 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 and an additional $510 million in seasoned
15-to-20 year fixed-rate mortgage loans were sold in June 1996 in order to
maintain its desired interest rate risk profile. Brokerage commissions were
higher in 1996 because brokerage services were only introduced in 1995 and those
services were expanded in 1996.
During the third quarter of 1996, $27.8 million of mobile home loans were sold
due to the none core nature of the product. The sale resulted in a gain of $1.4
million. The gain was offset by a loss of $1.4 million on the sale of securities
primarily attributable to one security sold in response to significant
deterioration in creditworthiness.
Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $37.4 million as
compared to $40.6 million for the 1995 period. This $3.2 million decrease was
also primarily due to losses on the sale of investments and mortgage-backed
securities during the 1996 period. These losses were partially offset by
increases in recurring fee income. The loss on the sale of investment securities
was $2.0 million in the 1996 period as compared to a $6.0 million gain in 1995.
The sales in the 1996 period were executed to purchase higher yielding
investments. The loss on sale of mortgage-backed securities was $1.8 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to a $25,000 loss in 1995.
The loss on sale of mortgage-backed securities in 1996 was primarily
attributable to the third quarter sale of one security in response to
significant deterioration in creditworthiness. Altogether, net gains and losses
on sales caused other income to decrease by $10.0 million when comparing the two
periods. That decrease was partially offset by increases in service fees and
other charges and in loan servicing fees. Service fees and other charges
increased by $5.6 million and loan servicing fees increased by $1.8 million. The
primary reasons for the increase in these recurring fee income categories was
attributable to fees from checking accounts, fees on servicing loans for others,
brokerage commissions earned by a subsidiary of the Bank, and prepayment
penalties on payoffs of commercial real estate loans. Checking account fees
increased as the number of open demand deposit accounts increased when comparing
September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995. The reasons for the increase in the
number of accounts relates to the acquisition of over 55,000 demand deposit
accounts when the Bank acquired branches from First Nationwide Bank as of June
28, 1996, the Charter One checking account programs were introduced in Michigan
during 1996 with no comparable activity in 1995 and a continuing sales effort in
Ohio. Loan servicing fees increased because the balance of loans serviced for
others was higher in the 1996 period as $840 million of mortgage loans were sold
with servicing retained since September 30, 1995. As part of the fourth quarter
of 1995 financial restructuring, $330 million in mortgage loans were sold and
then in June of 1996 another $510 million of mortgage loans were sold in order
to maintain its desired interest rate risk profile. Also, mortgage loan
prepayment penalties increased as a result of a payoff on a $12.5 million
commercial real estate loan in 1996. Brokerage commissions were higher in 1996
because the subsidiary offering brokerage services was a start-up company in
1995 that has expanded operations in 1996.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
As shown in Figure 7, administrative expenses, excluding the SAIF special
assessment of $56.3 million, for the third quarter of 1996 were $47.9 million as
compared to $43.8 million for the third quarter of 1995 (See Note 2 for
information pertaining to the SAIF special assessment.). This increase of $4.1
million was primarily attributable to increases in compensation and benefits
expense and the amortization of goodwill. Overall, administrative expenses
remained at favorable levels as illustrated by the Company's 41.7% efficiency
ratio for the third quarter of 1996 as compared to 48.8% for the same period in
1995. Compensation and employee benefits expenses increased by $2.0 million due
to increases in the number of employees. Employment has increased as the Bank
expanded their operations in the Michigan market. On June 28, 1996, the Bank
expanded by 17 branches in the metropolitan Detroit area as the Bank acquired
savings deposits and branch offices from First Nationwide Bank. Also, Charter
One had subsidiary operations relating to brokerage and insurance sales expand
into the Michigan market in 1996. Goodwill amortization was $924,000 higher in
the 1996 third quarter due to the $57 million of goodwill generated from the
First Nationwide branch acquisition.
Administrative expenses, excluding the SAIF assessment, for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 were $138.5 million as compared to $131.8 million in
the 1995 period (See Note 2 for information pertaining to the SAIF special
assessment.). Despite the increase in administrative expenses, the Company's
efficiency ratio, excluding the SAIF assessment, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 improved to 41.9% from 49.7% for the first nine months of
1995. The increases in administrative expenses are primarily due to expanding
operations. Compensation and benefits expense increased primarily due to
increases in the number of employees as the Bank added the 17 additional offices
from First Nationwide on June 28, 1996 and the Bank expanded its subsidiary
operations related to brokerage and insurance sales into the Michigan market in
1996. Office occupancy, amortization of goodwill and other administrative
expenses increased primarily due to this operational expansion as well. State
taxes increased due to higher assessment bases.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The federal provision for income taxes for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 decreased by $14.4 million and $4.7 million,
respectively, over the 1995 periods due to lower pre-tax income for the 1996
periods. The effective tax rates were 28.2% and 33.5% for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 33.8% and 34.0% for the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 1995.

OVERVIEW
At September 30, 1996, total assets were $13.8 billion which was $247.2 million,
or 1.8%, higher than at December 31, 1995. This growth was primarily in the loan
and lease portfolio as that portfolio grew by $1.0 billion, or 15.5%, during the
first nine 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 $4.9 billion at September 30, 1996 which was
$376.5 million, or 7.1%, lower than at December 31, 1995.
Total deposits were $7.7 billion at September 30, 1996 which was $735.8 million,
or 10.5%, 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 $520.0
million, or 9.5%, 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 $1.0 billion, or 15.5%, since
December 31, 1995, with growth concentrated in the mortgage and consumer loan
portfolio. Real estate mortgage loans grew by $679.8 million, or 11.2%, and the
consumer loan portfolio grew by $271.6 million, or 45.7%, in the first nine
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 46% of the one-to-four family loan origination volume and 26% 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. Although refinance activity was higher early in 1996 than it had been in
1995, it appears the level is declining as the year progresses. The lower levels
of refinance activity should result in lower loan originations in the fourth
quarter of 1996.

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. In January of 1996,
$326.1 million of available for sale securities were sold for total proceeds of
$324.0 million. The loss of $2.2 million was recorded at the trade date in
December 1995. Purchases of mortgage-backed securities during the nine months of
1996 totaled $567.1 million and were primarily medium-term, fixed-rate
collateralized mortgage obligations.
In July 1996, the Bank sold $510.4 million of FNMA fixed-rate participation
certificates which 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 on
the trade date 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.
In September 1996, the Bank reclassified $10.9 million of mortgage-backed
securities from held to maturity to available for sale in response to
significant deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness uncovered during a
routine review of the portfolio. Subsequently, $8.1 million of these securities
were sold for a loss of $1.4 million, which was recorded in the third quarter of
1996.

The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of ending loans and
leases (before the allowance) was .84% at September 30, 1996, down from .96% at
December 31, 1995, reflecting third quarter loan growth. Credit quality remained
high, with nonperforming assets at only .37% of total assets at September 30,
1996. Net charge-offs totaled $558,000 and $1.7 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1996, respectively. Net charge-offs for the
comparable periods of 1995 were $171,000 and $1.3 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
19

and lease losses and significant reductions in income. Additionally, various
regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically 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 September 30, 1996, the Bank had no
outstanding commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were
on nonaccrual or restructured status.

total loans and leases declined at September 30, 1996 from December 31, 1995.
At September 30, 1996, there were $22.4 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 $15.6 million loan on apartment
buildings. 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 September 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.

</TABLE>
Total deposits were $7.7 billion at September 30, 1996 which was $735.8 million,
or 10.5%, 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 4.47% at September 30, 1996 from 4.61% at December 31, 1995.
BORROWINGS
At September 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 $4.1 billion in real estate
loans and $2.6 billion in mortgage-backed securities.

Each long-term, variable-rate reverse repurchase agreement also contains an
interest rate cap provision based upon a three-month LIBOR of 6.00%. Long-term,
fixed-rate agreements include $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
22
<PAGE> 25
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.

</TABLE>
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 September
30, 1996, the notional principal amount outstanding was $31.1 million with a
weighted average receipt rate of 16.63% and payment rate of 5.63%. 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 September 30, 1996, interest received based on a 5.80% LIBOR
rate 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 $514,000 at September 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 $820,000 at September 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 September 30, 1996, the Bank's one-year gap was a negative
6.13% of total assets.
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 September 30, 1996 was 7.13%.
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 highly rated 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 September 30,
1996, the Bank and its subsidiaries had outstanding commitments to originate
loans and leases of $402.6 million, unfunded lines of consumer credit totaling
$412.1 million (a significant portion of which normally remains undrawn) and
unfunded lines of commercial (business loans) credit totaling $27.0 million.
Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at September 30,
1996 totaled $3.5 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 September 30, 1996, the Bank had $1.3 billion of
advances from the FHLB and $281.1 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
24
<PAGE> 27
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.
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 September 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.
