Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim 
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 
of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for 
complete financial statements.

1.  In the opinion of management of the Registrant, the unaudited consolidated
    financial statements contained herein include all adjustments (consisting
    of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the 
    consolidated financial position of the Registrant as of June 30, 1995, 
    June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1994 and consolidated results of operations
    for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and consolidated
    cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.

2.  On March 10, 1995, First Michigan Bank Corporation (First Michigan)
    acquired Superior Financial Corporation (Superior), a one bank holding
    company located in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. The acquisition was
    effected through the exchange of 22.931 shares of First Michigan common
    stock (616,699 shares in total) for each outstanding share of Superior.
    The acquisition was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.  Accordingly, 
    the accompanying consolidated statements have been restated to include 
    the balances and results of operation of Superior prior to the 
    acquisition.

3.  On January 1, 1995, First Michigan adopted the accounting provisions for 
    impaired loans promulgated by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
    No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" (as amended 
    by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by 
    Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures"). 
    Under this new accounting standard, a loan is considered to be impaired 
    when it is probable that a subsidiary bank will be unable to collect all
    principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of
    the loan agreement.  Under this definition, loans that have been placed
    on non-accrual status or which have been involved in a troubled debt 
    restructuring (TDR; also termed "renegotiated") are considered impaired.
    Prior to 1995, all of those loans which would meet this newly-promulgated
    definition of impairment were included in the non-accrual and 
    renegotiated classifications within the nonperforming loan totals 
    disclosed in management's discussion and analysis in First Michigan's 
    annual report.  In accordance with the new standard, this accounting
    change and the disclosures associated therewith have been adopted 
    prospectively.

    A portion of the total allowance for loan losses is related to impaired 
    loans as defined under this new accounting standard.  The allowance for 
    loan losses for an impaired loan is recorded at the amount by which the
    outstanding recorded principal balance exceeds the fair market value of 
    the collateral on the impaired loan.  For a loan that is not collateral-
    dependent, the allowance for loan losses is recorded at the amount by 
    which the outstanding recorded principal balance exceeds the current 
    best estimate of the future cash flows on the loan, discounted at the 
    loan's effective interest rate.  Prior to 1995, the portion of the total
    allowance for loan losses related to loans which would meet this new 
    definition of impairment was also based, in most cases, on the fair 
    market value of the collateral on that loan.  As such, the implementation
    of this new accounting standard has had virtually no impact on the 
    operations of First Michigan.

    For impaired loans that are on non-accrual status, cash payments received
    on impaired loans are generally applied to reduce the outstanding 
    recorded principal balance of the impaired loans.  However, at the 
    discretion of the subsidiary bank, all or a portion of a cash payment
    received on a non-accrual loan may be recognized as interest income to 
    the extent allowed by the loan contract, provided that the borrower's 
    financial condition or the underlying collateral on the loan support 
    the collection in full of the remaining outstanding recorded principal 
    balance of the loan.  For an impaired loan that has been involved in a 
    formal troubled debt restructuring, interest income is recognized on an
    accrual basis according to the modified contractual terms so long as
    the restructured loan continues to perform in accordance with the modified
    contractual terms.

Item 2.  
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations - Interim Financial Statements

The following is a discussion of First Michigan Bank Corporation's
("Company's") results of operations for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and information relating to the Company's
financial condition, focusing on its liquidity and capital resources. 

Net income of $8,605,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 increased 
8.2% from the $7,952,000 earned during the three months ended June 30, 1994. 
Earnings per share for the second quarter 1995 were $.47 versus $.43 for the
same period in 1994 and $.91 versus $.83 for the six month periods ending 
June 30, 1995 and 1994 respectively.  The increase in earnings is primarily 
attributable to the continued growth in average earning assets and 
improvements in non-interest income.  Offsetting this, in part, were 
increases in the provision for loan losses and non-interest expense.  These 
changes are addressed in the analyses that follow.

Net Interest Income         $ 30,715    $ 28,205           $ 60,486   $ 54,254

</TABLE>

The Company's second quarter 1995 net interest income of $30,715,000 increased
by $2,510,000 (8.9%) when compared with the same period of 1994.  As shown in 
the following table, in the second quarter of 1995 the rate on interest 
earning assets increased 101 basis points from 8.00 to 9.01 while the rate
for interest bearing liabilities increased 135 basis points from 4.87 to 
3.52.  These changes resulted in a decrease of 34 basis points in the 
interest spread.  Primarily because of the decrease in spread, the net
interest margin decreased by 17 basis points when comparing the two periods. 
The effect of the decrease in spread on the net interest margin was mitigated
by the 11.8% increase in average earning assets versus the second quarter of
1994.  The following table shows a comparison of average volumes, effective
yields earned, and rates paid during the comparable periods.

Interest Earning Assets/ Interest Income
Interest income for the second quarter of 1995 increased $12,692,000 (27.0%) 
from the second quarter of 1994.  This is due both to the increase in 
average volume of earning assets during the second quarter 1995 versus 1994 
and to the increase in average yield on the earning assets as indicated in
the previous table.  Virtually all of the increase in average earning assets,
98% of the $288,042,000 total, is due to the growth in the loan portfolios.
Quarterly average loan volume increased 16.4% from that of the second quarter
1994.  Mortgage, commercial and installment loans all showed strong increases
versus the prior year.  The increase in installment loan volume was the
largest of these due to special marketing campaigns, continuing economic 
strength in the Company's markets and consumer confidence.  Considerable 
strength was also seen in commercial loan volume due, primarily, to the
continued economic health of the Company's marketplace. The increased
average loan yield results from the overall sensitivity of the Company's
portfolios to the multiple increases in Prime Rate since the first
quarter 1994.

With the increasing loan demand there has been a small decrease in the average
volume of securities.  A change in the mix of taxable securities, as maturing
investments have been replaced by higher yielding ones, resulted in a 46
basis point increase in taxable securities yield.  The 5 basis point decline
seen in the yield of the tax-exempt portion of the securities portfolio is
attributable to the early retirement of certain high-yielding municipal
issues during 1994.

Interest Bearing Liabilities/Interest Expense
The volume of interest bearing liabilities increased by $245,353,000 when
compared to the second quarter 1994.  All of this 11.5% increase occurred
in the time deposit category as seen in the table on the previous page.
This is due to growth in large certificates of deposit and those with
maturities of 24 months and longer.  The volume growth in these deposits
is due to consumer preference for locking in higher rates, special marketing
campaigns of limited duration that have included rate incentives alone or
rate and service incentives combined, as well as utilization of large
CDs to fund loan growth.  The rate paid on all deposit categories and
short-term borrowings increased with the competitive pressures in the 
marketplace.  The average rate on long- term debt reflects an increase as
certain lower rate obligations have been paid as scheduled since the second
quarter 1994.  The overall rate on quarterly average interest bearing
liabilities increased 135 basis points to 4.87% in this quarter from the
second quarter 1994 average rate of 3.52%.

Liquidity/Source of Funds
Liquidity is monitored in order to meet the needs of customers, such as
depositors withdrawing funds or borrowers requesting funds to meet their
credit needs.  The Company's current internal and external sources of funds
are adequate to meet its liquidity needs.

Deposit gathering is a principal source of funds for the Company.  Development
of consumer deposits is achieved by paying competitive rates and by maintaining
an active marketing program.  Larger certificates of deposit, issued to
public authorities and the private sector, also provide an important source
of funds for the Company.  These certificates of deposit are purchased
primarily from within the Company's market areas and are considered a
reliable source of funds.

Another principal source of funds derives from the routine payments on loans
and the maturities of loans and securities.  The Company's securities
portfolio is invested almost exclusively in investment grade issues, and,
as discussed in the next section, the Company continues to have a high-quality
loan portfolio.  As a result, payments and maturities on these assets are
also a reliable source of funds.

<PAGE> 10

Externally, the Company has the ability to enter the federal funds market as
a purchaser to meet daily liquidity needs.  In addition, the Company has the
ability to enter into funding arrangements with other financial institutions.

</TABLE>

The provision for loan losses increased $351,000 for the second quarter of
1995 versus the 1994 period.  The provision for the second quarter 1995 is
consistent with management's evaluation of the loan portfolio and its recent
growth, while giving due consideration to the consistently low nonperforming
asset ratios. The reserve for loan losses as a percent of loans at June 30,
1995 is 1.24%, down 2 basis points from the 1.26% ratio at December 31, 1994.

In assessing the adequacy of the loan loss allowance, management considers
many factors, including changes in the type and volume of the loan portfolio,
past loan loss experience, existing and anticipated economic conditions and
other factors that might be pertinent.  The amount actually provided in any
period may be more or less than actual net loan charge-offs for that period.

Net charge-offs in the second quarter 1995 increased by $666,000 compared to
the second quarter 1994.  Net charge-offs as a percent of average loans
outstanding during the quarter were .20% for the second quarter of 1995 and
 .08% in 1994.  Despite this increase this ratio is within the range of
management's expectations and continues to reflect prudent lending practices.
Nonperforming assets, consisting of non-accrual and renegotiated loans and
other real estate owned, in total were .34% and .52% of total loans 
outstanding at June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1994 respectively.  The Company
continues to compare favorably with the banking industry nationwide in
these credit quality ratios.

</TABLE>
Non-interest income, which includes service charges on deposit accounts, loan
fees, trust income, other operating income and securities transactions,
increased $717,000 (10.9%) during the three months ended June 30, 1995
compared to the same period in 1994.  The increase is due primarily to
improvements in brokerage and advisory fees as well as loan fees from
increased mortgage origination and refinancing activity versus the second
quarter 1994.  Included in the above total are increases in service charges
on deposits amounting to $258,000, resulting from increased fees initiated
during 1994 as well as volume increases.

</TABLE>

Non-interest expense increased $1,886,000 (8.3%) when comparing the second
quarter of 1995 with 1994.  Of the non-interest expense increase, 5.0
percentage points are due to increases in salary and benefits costs and
 .8 percentage points are due to occupancy and equipment.  Increases in other
costs resulted in 2.5 percentage points of the overall increase.

<PAGE> 11

The salary and benefits costs as a category increased by 9.6% due to annual
merit increases and staffing of new branches.  Additional branches and
upgrading of equipment and facilities caused the increase in the occupancy
and equipment categories as well.  Management continues to monitor increases
in non-interest expense examining opportunities to enhance operating
efficiencies through functional consolidations.

</TABLE>

Fluctuations in income taxes result primarily from changes in the level of
profitability and variations in the amount of tax-exempt income.  The
increase in pre-tax income and certain non-deductible expenses account for
the increased income tax expense of $337,000 between the second quarter
1995 and 1994.  There was virtually no change in the level of tax-exempt
income in the second quarter 1995 versus 1994.

</TABLE>

Shareholder's equity is the Company's principal capital base and it is
important that it increase along with the growth in total assets in order
for adequate capital ratios to be maintained.  The ratio of equity to total
assets at June 30, 1995 was 7.8% as compared to the December 31, 1994 ratio
of 7.7%.

The Federal Reserve Board provides guidelines for the measurement of capital
adequacy of bank holding companies.  The Company's capital, as adjusted
under these guidelines, is referred to as risk-based capital.  The Company's
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio at June 30, 1995 is 10.5%, and total
risk-based capital ratio is 11.9%.  At December 31, 1994 these ratios were
10.5% and 11.9% respectively.  Minimum regulatory Tier 1 risk-based and
total risk-based capital ratios under the Federal Reserve Board guidelines
are 4% and 8% respectively.

These same capital ratios are applied at the subsidiary bank level by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under which a well-capitalized bank
is defined as one with at least a 10% risk-based capital level.  All
Company subsidiary banks met this definition at December 31, 1994 and
June 30, 1995.

The capital guidelines also provide for a standard to measure risk-based
capital to total assets.  This is referred to as the leverage ratio.  The
Company's leverage ratio at June 30, 1995 is 7.6%.  The minimum standard
leverage ratio is 3%, and virtually all financial institutions subject to
these requirements are expected to maintain a leverage ratio of 1 to 2
percentage points above the 3% minimum.
