              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

                       MARCH 31, 1995 AND MARCH 25, 1994


SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of
First of Michigan Capital Corporation and its subsidiary companies (the
Company) including First of Michigan Corporation, a registered securities
broker-dealer and a member organization of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.,
after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

Securities owned and securities sold, not yet purchased, are valued at market
and unrealized gains and losses are reflected in revenues.

Investment account securities are carried at the lower of cost or market.
Certain other investments are accounted for on the equity method.  The
Company's equity in such operations was not material in amount during the
periods ended March 31, 1995 and March 25, 1994.

Net income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding, assuming dilutive stock options were exercised at
the beginning of the quarter or at the date of issuance, if later, with
applicable proceeds used to acquire additional treasury shares at the average
market price.

INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes consists of the following:

Deferred income taxes principally arise from deferred compensation expense.

CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, First of Michigan Corporation enters into
underwriting commitments.  Transactions relating to such underwriting
commitments which were open at March 31, 1995 and subsequently settled, had no
material effect on the financial statements as of that date.

First of Michigan Corporation is the subject of claims made in several civil
actions arising out of its business as a broker-dealer and as an investment
banker.  While these actions in the aggregate seek substantial amounts,
management believes that their disposition will not have a material adverse
effect on the financial position of the Company.

TERMINATION OF MERGER AND RELATED EXPENSES

Merger termination expense for the three months and six months ended March 25,
1994, includes both legal costs as well as the amortization of certain employee
retention agreements.  With the settlement of the lawsuit with Comerica,
Incorporated, in August 1994, the amortization of the retention agreements,
amounting to $343,494 and $654,453 for the three months and six months ended
March 31, 1995, respectively, has been included in employee compensation and
benefits.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

First of Michigan Corporation is subject to the uniform net capital rule (Rule
15c3-1) of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the capital rules of the
New York Stock Exchange, Inc., of which it is a member, and elects to compute
its net capital requirements in accordance with the alternative method.

Under this method, the Corporation is required to maintain minimum net capital,
as defined, equal to 2 percent of aggregate debit balances arising from
customer transactions, as defined.  The net capital rules also provide that
equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if the resulting net
capital would be less than 5 percent of aggregate debits.  At March 31, 1995
First of Michigan Corporation's net capital of $16,896,008 was 23 percent of
aggregate debit balances, and was $15,431,295 in excess of the 2 percent
minimum net capital required and $13,234,227 in excess of the 5 percent
dividend restriction.

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations

Second quarter fiscal 1995 compared to second quarter fiscal 1994.

GENERAL

First of Michigan Capital Corporation's principal subsidiary  is First of
Michigan Corporation, a member of the New York Stock Exchange and Michigan's
largest full-service securities firm.  Founded more than 60 years ago, First of
Michigan Corporation specializes in a wide range of financial services that
include investment products such as stocks, bonds, unit trusts and mutual
funds; investment services such as retirement plans, money management,
underwriting and trading and investment banking.  First of Michigan offers
these services through its 545 employees located in 32 offices throughout
Michigan, as well as an office at 100 Wall Street, New York.

The Company's profitability, to a large degree, is sensitive to the volume of
trading in securities and the volatility and general level of securities market
prices.  While the Company places emphasis on controlling fixed costs, many of
its activities have high operating costs which do not decrease proportionately
with reduced levels of activity.  Sustained periods of reduced volume, or loss
of clients, could have adverse effects upon profitability.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total revenues decreased 5% for the quarter and 10% for the six month period.
A general discussion follows as no category changes resulted in significant
dollar amounts.  Overall, retail trading volume was down at First of Michigan
Corporation as it has been throughout the securities industry as a whole.
Commission revenues have decreased due to a reduction of retail commissions
generated from listed and over-the-counter stock business as well as reduced
revenues from mutual fund transactions.  Revenues from principal transactions
increased primarily in the areas of secondary corporate equity and bond
trading.  Fixed income activities in municipal bond trading has also increased
as higher interest rates continue to fuel an increased demand for these
products.  Investment banking revenues have increased as both municipal and
corporate bond underwriting has increased.  Fees received from the
participation in underwriting syndicates as well as other financial consulting
engagements has also increased.  Offsetting these increases is a decrease in
revenues from equity underwritings, particularly in the area of initial public
offerings of stock.  Interest income has increased due to increased customer
margin loan balances coupled with the increase in short-term interest rates.
Insurance commissions continue to decrease in the areas of life insurance and
variable rate annuities.  Fixed rate annuities are attracting attention again
as interest rates continue to rise.  Other income has increased primarily due
to additional service fees received for money management as well as
distribution and advisory fees for certain money market funds.  The company
also recognized a gain on the sale of securities in its investment account.

Total expenses decreased 3% and 6%, respectively, which is in line with the
revenue trend.  A general discussion follows as no category changes resulted in
significant dollar amounts.  The largest expense category, employee
compensation and benefits, decreased in conjunction with the decrease in
commission revenues and also due to a decrease in certain discretionary bonus
programs associated with the level of pre-tax earnings.  Offsetting these
declines was an increase in salaries associated with staff additions.  Floor
brokerage, exchange, clearance and other fees decreased due to a decrease in
commissions paid to a fully-disclosed broker-dealer because of a decrease in
their revenues.  Communications costs, primarily telephone, has increased due
to increased marketing efforts to attract new clients.  Interest expense has
increased due to the increased borrowings required to support the increase in
customer margin loan balances.  Higher interest rates have also contributed to
the increase.  Occupancy and equipment rental costs have increased due to
additional space leased at the corporate offices as well as increased costs
associated with our newly enhanced computer systems that have been installed
throughout the entire branch network.  While these expenses initially have a
net expense impact, we believe that these productivity tools for our Investment
Executives  as well as our increased marketing efforts will result in superior
client service and ultimately have a positive net impact on the firms
profitability.  Office supplies and expenses increased due to increased service
bureau costs associated with trade processing and customer statement
processing.  The firm is continuing to update its forms and add new ones as our
products and services continue to expand.  The provision for income taxes
decreased due entirely to the decrease in earnings.  The effective tax rate as
compared to the prior year declined because the percentage of non-taxable
income to operating income has increased.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities increased due to decreases in customer
receivables as well as increases in customer payables and broker-dealer
payables.  The largest use of cash for operating activities was to purchase
securities inventories.  Due to the nature of the Company's business, the
changes in operating asset and liability account balances relative  to net
income for any particular accounting period can be quite large and, therefore,
are not very useful indicators of long-term trends in the Company's cash uses
for operations.  Cash used for financing activities consisted of a reduction in
bank loans outstanding as well as for the repurchase of common stock to be held
in treasury.  At March 31, 1995, approximately 88% for the Company's assets
were liquid, consisting mainly of cash or assets readily convertible into cash.
The Company's largest asset is its receivable from customers, representing
borrowings from the Company by customers to finance the purchase of securities
on margin.  Such receivables from customers are substantially financed by
equity capital and short-term borrowings under established lines of credit with
several banking institutions.  A total of $112,000,000 in approved lines of
credit was available to the Company at March 31, 1995, of which $25,250,000 was
outstanding.

The Company is subject to the net capital requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange which are designed to
measure the general financial soundness and liquidity of broker-dealers.  The
Company has consistently operated well in excess of the minimum requirements.
At March 31, 1995, the Company's net capital of $16,896,008 exceeded the
minimum requirement by $15,431,295.

Effective June 7, 1995, the  SEC has mandated a reduction in the time allotted
to settle securities transactions from 5 days to 3 days from trade date
("T+3").  Internal studies have shown that a majority of the Company's clients
are already settling their trades in less than 5 days.  In addition, the
Company has provided extensive information to its Investment Executives and
clients to educate and prepare them for "T+3".  While the full effect of "T+3"
cannot be fully ascertained until it's implementation, management believes that
funds provided by net cash earnings combined with the liquidity of its assets,
its existing capital base and its available lines of credit are fully adequate
to meet the Company's financing needs for the foreseeable future.

The Company does not engage in any derivative trading that would result in any
additional off-balance sheet risk, and in addition, carries no "junk" bonds in
its inventory.

CONTINGENT MATTERS

First of Michigan Corporation is the subject of claims made in several civil
actions arising out of its business as a broker-dealer and as an investment
banker.  The Company provides for costs related to contingencies when a loss is
probable and the amount is reasonably determinable.  While these actions in the
aggregate seek substantial amounts, management believes that their disposition
will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the
Company.  However, depending on the amount and timing of a potential
unfavorable resolution to a contingency, it is possible that the Company's
future results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely
affected in that quarter.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Amendment, made, executed, and delivered as of the 24th day of January,
1995, by and among First of Michigan Capital Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), its principal subsidiary, First of Michigan
Corporation ("FoM"), and Steve Gasper, Jr. ("Employee")

                                   WITNESSETH

         WHEREAS, on April 1, 1994, the Company, FoM, and Employee entered into
an Employment Agreement (the "Existing Employment Agreement") for the
employment of Employee as the chief executive officer of the Company and FoM;
and
         WHEREAS, to better reflect their mutual understanding of the terms of
Employee's employment, the parties now desire to amend the Existing Employment
Agreement in certain respects;
         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises the parties hereto
agree as follows:

                 1.       AMENDMENT OF EXISTING EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT.
                          (a)   Section 3 of the Existing Employment Agreement
                                is  hereby amended in its entirety to read as
                                follows:
                          "3.  CASH COMPENSATION.     As full cash compensation
                          for all services to be performed by Employee
                          hereunder, the Company or FoM shall pay to Employee
                          the following:
                                  (a)   salary at the rate of $100,000 per year
                          payable at the intervals at which other executive
                          officers of the Company are paid;
                                  (b)   a quarterly bonus payable in arrears
                          through March 31, 1997 in the amount of $125,000 per
                          quarter, reduced by a monthly draw of $6,667  to be
                          advanced to Employee against such quarterly bonus as
                          of the 15th of each month; and
                                  (c)   commencing with the Company's fiscal
                          year ending September 29, 1995, an additional
                          incentive bonus (if earned) payable after fiscal
                          year-end in an amount determined under a performance
                          formula to be developed by the Company (with Employee
                          participating) prior to the end of such 1995 fiscal
                          year in consultation with the Company's compensation
                          consultants;

provided, however, that the amount of any incentive bonus that otherwise would
become payable hereunder pursuant to subsection (c) above in respect of the
Company's 1995, 1996 or 1997 fiscal years shall be reduced by the aggregate
amount of quarterly bonuses (including draws) paid Employee in respect of such
fiscal year pursuant to subsection (b) above; and provided further, that
although the current members of the Company Board believe it to be appropriate
and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to provide
employee with incentive bonus compensation as contemplated in subsection (c),
in the event the Company Board hereafter determines, prior to the Company's
1996 annual meeting of shareholders, that it is advisable in light of the
provisions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
that the performance formula referenced in subsection (c) be submitted to the
Company's shareholders for their approval, then such formula shall be so
submitted for shareholder approval (no later than at such 1996 annual meeting)
and no compensation shall be payable to Employee pursuant to subsection (c)
unless and until such approval is obtained."
                          (b)   Section 6 of the Existing Employment Agreement
                                is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
                                follows:
                          "6.  RELOCATION EXPENSES.     The Company shall pay
                          or reimburse to Employee the real estate commissions
                          upon the sale of his current principal residence, his
                          reasonable expenses for temporary lodging in the
