ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

On May 2, 1997, Consumers Financial Corporation (the  Company ) and LaSalle
Group, Inc. ( LaSalle ) agreed to forbear on exercising their respective rights
to terminate the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 30, 1996, as 
amended (the  Agreement ), until after June 15, 1997. This agreement between 
the parties was based upon LaSalle s further agreement to waive the 
requirements of Section 3.5 of Article III of the Agreement after May 15, 1997,
so that the Company could at that time receive or solicit, directly or 
indirectly, other offers from third parties for the sale of its assets or 
shares of its capital stock. LaSalle agreed to waive the requirements of 
Section 3.5 only if it could not provide to the Company by May 15, 1997 
satisfactory evidence of the cash funds necessary to obtain regulatory 
approvals and to consummate the Merger under the terms of the Agreement.

In accordance with Article V, Section 5.4 of the Agreement and Plan of Merger 
as amended by letter agreements among the parties dated January 8, 1997 and 
March 31, 1997 (the  Agreement ),  this letter serves to confirm in writing the
agreement among Consumers Financial Corporation ( Consumers ), LaSalle Group,

exercising their respective right to terminate the Agreement until after June

Section 3.5 of Article III of the Agreement after May 15, 1997 to allow
Consumers to receive or solicit, directly or indirectly, offers from third

LaSalle has neither received sufficient cash funds in its account nor provided
evidence of sufficient cash funds satisfactory to Consumers by May 15, 1997, in
order to obtain all required regulatory approvals and consummate the Merger
under the terms of the Agreement.

Please indicate your acknowledgment and agreement to the waiver by signing in

Very truly yours,

/S/ James C. Robertson
