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 Company,  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 Company as of March 31, 1997, March
     31, 1996 and December 31, 1996 and  consolidated  results of operations and
     cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.

2.   The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3.   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read
     in  conjunction  with  the  Notes  to  Consolidated   Financial  Statements
     contained  in the  Registrant's  Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31,
     1996.

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 ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,  and
also  provides  information  relating  to  the  Company's  financial  condition,
focusing on its liquidity and capital resources.

On May 5, 1997, the Company and Huntington Bancshares  Incorporated,  a Maryland
corporation and a registered bank holding company  ("Huntington"),  entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Merger and a Supplemental Agreement (collectively,  the
"Merger Agreements")  pursuant to which the Company will be merged with and into
Huntington (the "Merger").  As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of
the  Company's  common  stock will be converted  into 1.05 shares of  Huntington
common stock. The Merger is conditioned upon, among other things,  approval by a
two-thirds majority vote of the shareholders of both Huntington and the Company,
and receipt of certain regulatory approvals.

Net income of  $10,729,000  for the three months ended March 31, 1997  increased
12.0% from the  $9,579,000  earned during the three months ended March 31, 1996.
Earnings per share for the first quarter 1997 were $.40 versus $.36 for the same
period  in  1996.  The  increase  in  earnings  is  primarily   attributable  to
improvements in net interest income and 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.

The Company's first quarter 1997 net interest income of $36,694,000 increased by
$3,336,000  (10.0%) when  compared with the same period of 1996. As shown in the
following  table,  in the first  quarter  of 1997 the rate on  interest  earning
assets at 8.87% was up four basis  points from the  year-ago  period,  while the
rate for interest bearing liabilities also increased four basis points from 4.80
to 4.84.  These  changes  resulted  in an  unchanged  interest  spread.  The net
interest  margin  dropped by one basis point between the periods as the relative
volume of free funds declined  slightly.  The following table shows a comparison
of  average  volumes,  effective  yields  earned,  and  rates  paid  during  the
comparable periods.

<PAGE>
Interest Earning Assets/ Interest Income
Interest income for the first quarter of 1997 increased  $6,582,000 (10.2%) from
the first  quarter of 1996.  This is due to the  increase  in average  volume of
earning  assets  during the first  quarter  1997 versus 1996 coupled with a four
basis point  increase in average  yield on the  earning  assets  between the two
periods as indicated in the previous  table.  Average  quarterly  volumes in the
loan portfolio increased 13.7% from those of the first quarter 1996.  Commercial
and installment  loans showed double digit average volume  percentage  increases
versus  the  prior  year  period  averages.  Considerable  strength  was seen in
commercial  lending and was due primarily to the continuing  economic  health of
the Company's  marketplace.  The relative  growth in loans as a percent of total
interest  earning assets (from 74.0% for the first quarter of 1996 and 76.5% for
the first  quarter of 1997)  prompted  the four basis point  increase in average
yield.

Short term  investments  consisting  almost  exclusively  of federal  funds sold
declined in response to the strong loan portfolio growth.  Investment securities
increased at a modest 8.2% rate from period to period.  The overall yield of the
securities  portfolio  remained  essentially  constant,  increasing  seven basis
points to 7.09% for the first quarter 1997.

Interest Bearing Liabilities/Interest Expense
The average volume of interest  bearing  liabilities  increased by  $270,148,000
when compared to the first quarter  1996.  The overall  increase in deposits was
approximately  evenly balanced between time deposits and the savings  categories
at  $108,964,000  and  $102,025,000  respectively.  Time deposit growth occurred
primarily in large  certificates of deposit.  Regular savings accounts reflected
the bulk of the average  savings  balance  increase at 19% over the prior year's
quarter. The average rate paid on short-term borrowings increased as the Company
made greater use of Federal  Home Loan Bank  advances  during the first  quarter
1997.  The average  rate on long term debt  reflects a decrease  with the August
1996  conversion  of a  stand-by  loan  to  a  term  loan  bearing  interest  at
seven-tenths of a percent over the daily federal funds rate. The overall rate on
quarterly average interest bearing liabilities increased 4 basis points to 4.84%
in this quarter from the first quarter 1996 average rate of 4.80%.

Asset/Liability Management
The Company maintains an  asset/liability  management process whereby strategies
are developed and  implemented  to maintain the proper level of liquidity  while
maximizing net interest  income and minimizing the impact on earnings from major
interest rate changes.  Particular attention is placed on the Company's interest
sensitivity,  which is the degree net interest income is affected by a change in
market interest rates. Monitoring the balance of assets and liabilities that are
rate  sensitive  within  90 days and one  year is a  continuing  aspect  of this
process. When a cumulative rate sensitive ratio of 1.00 is maintained,  both the
interest  income and the  interest  expense  increase  or decline in tandem with
changes in market  interest  rates,  with the net interest income of the Company
not changing significantly as a direct result.

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.
The Company also purchases  brokered  certificates of deposit (CDs) from time to
time for varying periods of up to three years. Such purchases,  when they occur,
are made within established Company guidelines.  Current balances
<PAGE>
represent  approximately 4% of large CDs and less than 1% of total deposits. The
Company made no brokered CD purchases during the first quarter of 1997.

Another principal source of funds derives from 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.

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  $1,116,000 for the first quarter versus
the 1996  period.  The  increased  provision  for the first  quarter  1997 is in
response both to the growth in loan  portfolio  volume and the  relatively  high
volume of loans charged off,  beginning in the third quarter of 1996.  While the
first  quarter 1997  charge-offs  are  considerably  higher than the  comparable
year-ago period,  the total reflects a decline from the preceding  quarter.  The
Company has centralized  the consumer loan  collection  function and anticipates
improvement in collection  efforts and corresponding  reductions in the relative
level of net charge-offs.

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.  The reserve
for loan losses as a percent of loans at March 31, 1997 is 1.27%, unchanged from
the December 31, 1996 ratio.

Net charge-offs in the first quarter 1997 increased  $1,174,000  compared to the
first quarter 1996. Net  charge-offs  as a percent of average loans  outstanding
during  the  quarter  were .37% for the first  quarter of 1997 and .21% in 1996.
This ratio is within the range of management's  expectations and is considered a
reflection  of  prudent  lending  practices.  Non-accrual,  past  due 90 day and
renegotiated loans, along with other real estate, in total were .57% and .58% of
total loans outstanding at March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996  respectively.  The
Company has compared  favorably  with the banking  industry  nationwide in these
credit ratios.

</TABLE>
Non-interest  income,  which includes service charges on deposit accounts,  loan
fees,  trust  and  investment   management  fees,  other  operating  income  and
securities  transactions,  increased  $2,023,000 (23.5%) during the three months
ended  March  31,  1997  compared  to the  same  period  in  1996.  Overall  the
non-interest  income increases were seen in most major other income  categories.
The largest  increases  were seen in investment  products  revenues  ($425,000),
service charges on deposits  ($317,000) and trust income ($254,000).  Investment
products income increases reflect the Company's  emphasis on expanding  existing
and new  customer  relationships  through  offering  a  variety  of  alternative
investments.   Service  charges  increased  with  the  volume  of  deposits  and
standardization  of fee schedules  and  procedures  among the Company's  banking
subsidiaries,  which began in 1996.  Trust income  reflected  growth in employee
benefit  and  personal  trust  balances  versus the first  quarter of 1996.  The
balance of the other income increase  originates from improvements in other loan
fees, title insurance and credit insurance revenues.

</TABLE>
Non-interest  expense  increased  $2,392,000  (9.0%)  when  comparing  the first
quarter of 1997 with 1996. Of the total  non-interest  expense  increase,  other
expenses  contributed to the majority (60%) of this  increase.  Other  operating
expense  increases  occurred  in  professional   services,   advertising,   loan
processing and software which are primarily related to the advancement of retail
strategies.  Equipment  increases  resulted  from the  expense  of  depreciation
associated with the investment in retail delivery systems.

The 4.7%  increase  in salary and  benefits  expense in the first  quarter  1997
versus  1996 is due  primarily  to  annual  merit  increases  along  with a 4.8%
increase  in  staffing.  These  increases  were  offset,  in  part,  by a slight
reduction in the provisions for performance based compensation.

Fluctuations  in income  taxes  result  primarily  from  changes in the level of
profitability  and  variations  in the amount of  tax-exempt  income.  The 14.2%
increase in pre-tax  income and  decline in  tax-exempt  income  account for the
increased income tax expense between the periods. The level of tax-exempt income
in the first quarter 1997 declined by approximately $115,000 from 1996.

  Shareholders' Equity at March 31, 1997                                    $279,069
                                                                             =======

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 March
31, 1997 was 7.8%, unchanged from the December 31, 1996 ratio.

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 March  31,  1997 was  9.80%,  unchanged  from the
December 31, 1996 level,  and the total  risk-based  capital ratio was 11.11% at
March 31, 1997, compared to 11.14% at December 31, 1996. 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 bank is  categorized  as
well-capitalized  under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action as
one with at least a 10% risk-based  capital level. All Company  subsidiary banks
met this definition at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996.

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 March 31, 1997 was 7.73%. 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.

In  addition  to  shareholders'  equity,  the  Company  had  long-term  debt  of
$29,537,000 at March 31, 1997 and at December 31, 1996.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1996, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial  Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." The Statement
provides consistent  standards for distinguishing  transfers of financial assets
that are sales from  transfers  that are  borrowings  and for  derecognition  of
liabilities  that have been  extinguished.  This  Statement  also  requires that
liabilities  and  derivatives  incurred  or  obtained  as part of a transfer  be
measured  initially  at fair  value.  SFAS No. 125 also  amends  SFAS No. 122 to
provide further  guidance on measurement of servicing  rights relating to assets
transferred.   The   Statement  is  effective  for   transfers,   servicing  and
extinguishments occurring
<PAGE>
after December 31, 1996, except for certain provisions which are effective after
December 31, 1997.  Adoption of the  accounting  provisions of this standard has
not had a material effect upon the Company's  financial  condition or results of
operations.

In February  1997,  the FASB issued SFAS No.  128,  "Earnings  per Share."  This
Statement  establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share
("EPS")  and  simplifies  the  standards  previously  found in APB  Opinion  15,
"Earnings per Share," which has been superseded. It replaces the presentation of
"primary" and "fully  diluted" EPS with a presentation  of "basic" and "diluted"
EPS.  Basic EPS  excludes  dilution  and is  computed  by  dividing  net  income
available to common  shareholders  by  weighted-average  number of common shares
outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS is computed  similarly to fully diluted
SPE pursuant to APB No. 15. SFAS No. 128 is  effective  for the Company for both
interim  and annual  periods  ending  after  December  15,  1997,  and  requires
restatement of all prior period EPS data presented.  Earlier  application is not
permitted.  Had the Company been required to present EPS data in compliance with
the new  Statement,  basic  and  diluted  EPS  would  have  been  $.41  and $.40
respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.
