This  presentation and the oral statements  relating to this  presentation  (the
"Presentation") contain certain forward looking statements that are based on the
beliefs of Comerica's and Imperial's  management as well as assumptions  made by
and  information  currently  available to Comerica's and Imperial's  management.
Such statements reflect the view of Comerica's and Imperial's management,  as of
the date of preparation of this Presentation,  with respect to future events and
are  subject  to risks and  uncertainties,  such as changes  in  Comerica's  and
Imperial's plans, objectives,  expectations and intentions and do not purport to
speak as of any other  date.  Should  one or more of these risk  materialize  or
should  underlying  assumptions  prove  incorrect,  the company's actual results
could differ materially from those discussed in this Presentation.  Factors that
could cause or contribute  to such  differences  are changes in interest  rates,
changes in the industries  where Comerica and Imperial have a  concentration  of
loans, changes in the level of fee revenues, the impact of Internet banking, the
entry of new competitors  into the banking industry as a result of the enactment
of  the  Gramm-Leach-Billey   Act  on  1999,  economic  conditions,   continuing
consolidations  in  the  banking  industry,   and  other  factors  discussed  in
Comerica's and Imperial's  filings with the Securities and Exchange  Commission.
