Michigan Heritage Bancorp, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 1997
(Unaudited)

Note 1   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Organization:  Michigan Heritage Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was
incorporated in the State of Michigan on September 22, 1989.  The Company
was inactive from that time until its Articles of Incorporation were amended
on November 6, 1996, into its current form.  The Company is a bank holding
company whose primary purpose is to own and operate Michigan Heritage Bank
(the "Bank") as the Bank's sole shareholder.  Organizational and other
start-up costs were funded with loans from organizers.  Proceeds from the
Company's initial public offering were primarily used to capitalize the
Bank, which is located in Novi, Michigan.

         Basis of Presentation:  The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results
could differ from those estimates and assumptions. 

Note 2   ORGANIZATION COSTS

         Organization costs were capitalized.  Such costs include
incorporation costs, legal and accounting fees, and other costs relating to
the organization of the Company.

Note 3   NOTES PAYABLE -- RELATED PARTIES

         Non-interest bearing demand loans were made to the Company by its
organizers.  The loans were repaid from the proceeds of the common stock
offering.

Note 4   LEASE COMMITMENT

         The  Bank entered into a 69 month triple net lease commitment for
its current location.  Total building improvement costs were $40,000.   The
monthly lease payment of $3,750 was abated for the first 10 months with the
first payment due for October, 1998.  Future minimum lease payments are as
follows.

Item 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

(a)      PLAN OF OPERATION

PRELIMINARY NOTE:   The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue
reliance on any "forward-looking statements" contained in the following
discussion, and advises readers that various factors, including regional and
national economic conditions, substantial changes in levels of market
interest rates, credit and other risks of lending and investment activities
and competitive and regulatory factors, could affect the Company's financial
performance and could cause the Company's actual results for future peiods
to differ materially from those anticipated or projected.  The Company does
not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any
forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events of
circumstances after the date of such statements.

ORGANIZATION

The Company was incorporated in 1989 as a Michigan corporation.  The Company
was inactive from the time of its formation until November 1996.  The Bank
is organized as a Michigan banking corporation with depository accounts
insured by the Bank Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.  The Bank intends to provide a range of commercial and consumer
banking services primarily in Oakland and western Wayne Counties, including
Novi, Farmington, Farmington Hills, Livonia, Northville, and Northville
Township.  Those services reflect the Bank's intended strategy of serving
small to medium size businesses and individual customers in its market area.
The Bank's lending service focuses initially on commercial equipment
financing, and, to a lessor extent, commercial real estate loans and
commercial term loans to businesses secured by the assets of the borrower.
The Bank intends to originate a number of loans primarily through third
party referral sources such as leasing companies and mortgage brokers, many
of whom are known to management.  The Bank's retail banking strategy will
initially focus on single-family mortgage loans, home equity loans, and, to
a lesser extent, other forms of consumer lending.  The Bank is offering
competitive rates on various deposit products and intends to offer products
and services such as ATM cards and telebanking in the near future.  

MARKET AREA

The Bank's main office is located along the rapidly developing Haggerty Road
corridor on the southeast corner of Novi, Michigan.  The Bank has leased and
renovated a former bank branch building.  The communities that comprise the
Bank's primary service area are Novi, Farmington, Farmington Hills, Livonia,
Northville, and Northville Township.  Management believes these communities
have an expanding and diverse economic base, which includes a wide range of
small to medium-sized businesses engaged in manufacturing, high technology
research and development, computer services, and retail. The Bank's
secondary service area will be the remaining portion of Oakland County not
included within the primary service area.  According to information issued
by Oakland County, the county is the third wealthiest county in the nation
among counties exceeding one million people and annual household income more
than doubled from $24,700 in 1980 to over $54,400 in 1993.  According to
estimates of SEMCOG, population in Oakland County is projected to increase
from 1,151,000 in 1995 to over 1,192,000 by 2000, an increase of  over 3.5
percent.

REASON FOR STARTING THE BANK

The liberalization in recent years of Michigan's branch banking laws,
together with the expansion of interstate banking, has led to substantial
consolidation of the banking industry in Michigan, particularly in the
Bank's market area.  According to Sheshunoff Information Services, Inc.,
since 1990 over 70 bank branches have closed within the Bank's primary and
secondary service areas.  In many cases, when these consolidations occurred,
local boards of directors were dissolved and local management relocated or
in some cases terminated.  In the opinion of the Company's management, this
situation has created a favorable opportunity for a new bank with local
management and directors.  Management of the Company believes that the Bank
can attract those customers who wish to conduct business with a locally
managed institution that demonstrates an active interest in their business
and personal affairs.  The Company believes that the Bank will be able to
deliver timely responses to customer requests, provide customized financial
products and services, and offer the personal attention of the Bank's senior
officers.

BANK LINES OF BUSINESS

The Bank's core business activities include attracting deposits from the
general public and using such deposits, together with borrowings and equity
capital, to originate and purchase:

- --       commercial equipment leases,
- --       commercial real estate loans,
- --       residential mortgage loans,
- --       land contracts, and
- --       home equity loans.

The Bank's results of operations are dependent primarily upon net interest
income, which is the difference between interest income from interest
earning assets and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities. 
Results of operations will also be positively influenced by non-interest
income such as fees related to loan sales and loan servicing and service
charges associated with customer deposit accounts.

The Bank's primary financial goals are to:

- --       Increase assets at a rate consistent with growth in equity
           capital;
- --       Augment earnings through generation of fee income;
- --       Establish and maintain a reputation for customer service;
- --       Achieve a superior rate of return on capital; and
- --       Maintain a "well-capitalized" institution providing services
           to its local community.

The Bank currently is focusing its operations on the following activities:

Commercial Equipment Leasing.  The Bank is engaged in the acquisition of
third party originated lease financing paper through a network of leasing
companies.  Management expects that the majority of this business will be
generated by relationships established with leasing companies located in
southeastern Michigan.  Transactions are discounted on a non-recourse basis
with financing terms typically on a fixed rate bases ranging from 36 to 60
months.  Transaction size will generally range between $25,000 and $500,000
with possible exceptions to these amounts.  Equipment location will be
geographically diverse with a broad range of industry and equipment type. 
The following is a list of the types of equipment the Bank anticipates
financing:

- --       Computer;
- --       Medical;
- --       Transportation;
- --       Machine tools;
- --       Office equipment; and
- --       Graphics/printing.

Commercial Real Estate Lending.  The Bank is offering commercial real estate
lending services to customers in its primary service area, secondary service
area, and in southeastern Michigan in general.  Management expects that the
Bank will generate business through its affiliation with commercial real
estate brokers and on a direct basis with owners of commercial properties. 
These loans typically will be secured by apartment buildings or owner
occupied properties.  The Bank recognizes that commercial real estate
lending generally involves a higher degree of risk than residential real
estate lending.  In order to manage and reduce these risks, management will
use strict underwriting standards in its commercial real estate lending
business.  Bank policy will govern adherence to loan to value ratios, income
ratios, and insurance and escrow requirements.  Personal guarantees and bank
depository relationships will be requirements for most commercial real
estate borrowers.

Residential Mortgage Lending.  The Bank intends to originate residential
mortgage loans in its primary service area in particular, its secondary
service area in general, and also in other areas of southeastern Michigan. 
Management intends to penetrate this market by capitalizing on its
collective knowledge of these markets and its relationships with
correspondent brokers and other sources of residential mortgage loans.  To a
lesser degree, the Bank intends to originate mortgage loans through its main
office that will offer the Bank's loan products directly to the general
public.  The majority of loans acquired or originated will be conventional
mortgage loans secured by residential properties and comply with
requirements for sale to Federal National Mortgage Corporation or the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.  While some variable rate
residential loans will be retained by the Bank, management expects that the
majority of all conforming residential loans will be held by the Bank for a
short period of time (generally less than 60 days) and then sold to
secondary market investors.  These loans typically are sold on a non-
recourse basis with the Bank generally obtaining purchase commitments from
investors prior to funding the loans.  As a result of efforts in this area,
the Bank will retain a portion of the loan origination fee paid by the
borrower and receive fees as compensation for selling the loans to secondary
market investors.  Through its mortgage lending activity, the Bank will also
acquire non-conforming residential mortgage loans.  These loans do not meet
government agency standards for a variety of reasons.  The structure of
these loans is typically on a variable rate basis.  Although a private
secondary market exists for these loans, the Bank will portfolio the
majority of these loans due to their interest rate sensitivity and
attractive rates of return.

Land Contract Lending.  The Bank's management has an established
relationship with a mortgage banking company actively engaged in the
business of acquiring land contract loans.  A land contract is a private
lending arrangement between a buyer and seller of residential real estate. 
These loans are acquired on a discounted non-recourse basis with financing
terms on a fixed rate basis and amortization period generally ranging from 5
to 15 years.  These loans typically come from rural outstate environments as
well as inner city urban locations where conventional methods of financing
often are not available.  This type of lending offers a higher rate of
return on investment as well as a higher degree of lending risk.  To
compensate for this lending risk, reserves will be set aside at the time of
acquisition and held by the Bank during the term of the loan.  These funds
will act as additional security for this portfolio.  Lending programs of
this type help provide financing to disadvantaged borrowers and at the same
time, help the bank to fulfill its responsibilities as mandated by the
Community Reinvestment Act.

Retail Banking

The Bank is offering its retail customers a variety of attractively priced
deposit accounts and loan products.  The Bank plans on taking advantage of
increasing population and rising income levels in the growing areas of its
primary, secondary, and other southeastern Michigan areas, including Wayne,
and Macomb counties.  Bank personnel offer a variety of deposit options
including, demand deposit accounts, regular savings accounts, NOW accounts,
money market demand accounts, and certificates of deposit.  On the lending
side, Bank representatives provide products including home equity loans and
lines of credit, bridge loans and residential mortgage loans.  The Bank's
deposit funding strategy combines low overhead bank operations with
consistent local print media advertising its current rate offerings.  The
Bank  generally offers a rate structure slightly higher than the competition
because of its low overhead bank operation.  One of the elements of the
Bank's strategy is to increase deposits at a rate that is consistent with
its growth in earning assets and to maintain a stable rate of core deposits
to time deposits so that the bank can obtain a lower cost and more stable
source of funds.

Cash Requirements

The Company's plan of operation for the next 12 months does not contemplate
the need to raise additional capital funds.   The Company's current cash
projections indicate more than adequate cash balances.  The Bank will
negotiate additional line of credit facilities with national lending
institutions to add funding capacity.  Management is also establishing a
network of banks that can be used to sell or participate a portion of its
loan portfolio.   These techniques are intended to allow the Bank to service
its business relationships and build its own loan portfolio, while
simultaneously generating fee and servicing revenue.

Product Research and Development

Product development over the next 12 months are expected to involve
telebanking and possibly other home banking services, ATM cards, marketing
and generating account applications on the Internet, mutual funds,
insurance, individual retirement accounts ("IRAs") and other deposit
products.

Purchase or Sale of Plant and Equipment

The Company has already purchased during the development stage most of the
equipment required and does not anticipate requiring substantial additional
equipment over the next 12 months.

Number of Employees

At March 31, 1997, the Company employed seven people on a full-time, and one
on a part-time, basis.  At May 12, 1997, the number of full-time employees
had increased to 10.  No significant changes are expected in the number of
employees over the next 12 months.

(b)   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Neither the Company nor the Bank has any operating history except for the
last 22 days of March 1997.  During that time period, $3.0 million in
deposits were generated and $0.4 million in loans were made.  As a result of
substantial start-up expenditures that must be incurred by a new bank and
the time it will take to develop its deposit base and loan portfolio, it is
expected that the Bank and thus the Company, will operate at a loss during
the start-up of the Bank.  Accordingly, neither the Company nor the Bank are
expected to be profitable in the first year of operation.
