              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

                       MARCH 29, 1996 AND MARCH 31, 1995


SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed 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 29, 1996 and March 31, 1995.

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 for the period.


INCOME TAXES

The provision (credit) for income taxes consisted of the following:

</TABLE>

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 29, 1996 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.

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 29, 1996
First of Michigan Corporation's net capital of $16,776,433 was 20 percent of
aggregate debit balances, and was $15,047,805 in excess of the 2 percent
minimum net capital required and $12,454,862 in excess of the 5 percent
dividend restriction.

The preceding information is unaudited and accordingly, does not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the period have been
included.  The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.  For further information, refer
to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 29, 1995.

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

Second quarter fiscal 1996 compared to second quarter fiscal 1995.

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 546 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.

On March 18, 1996, the Company announced the appointment of Kenneth C. Eich as
President and Chief Executive Officer.  Mr. Eich is a former Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer of Oppenheimer Management Corporation,
Denver, Co., a leading sales force distributor and advisor of mutual funds with
more than $47 billion in assets under management.  

The Company is focused exclusively on growing its business in the state of 
Michigan and on significantly improving its financial results.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total revenues increased 26% for the quarter and 24% for the six month period.
Overall, retail trading volume continues to outpace both the prior year
periods.  The largest dollar increase for both the three month and six
month periods was from commission revenues on listed and over-the-counter
equities as well as increased revenues from mutual fund transactions.  Revenues
from principal transactions decreased primarily in the area of municipal bond
trading as recent interest fluctuations have had a negative impact on prices.
Investment banking revenues showed a modest net increase due to an increase in
revenues from equity underwritings which was partially offset by a decrease in 
fees received from underwriting syndications as well as financial consulting 
engagements.  Interest income has increased due to increased customer margin 
loan balances coupled with the increase in short-term rates.  Insurance 
commissions were unchanged for the six month period, but have increased during 
the quarter as the increase in interest rates was attracting investors to fixed
rate annuities again.  Other income increased primarily due to additional 
service fees received for money management as well as distribution, 
administrative and advisory fees for certain money market funds.  New account 
openings and assets under management have continued to grow.

Total expenses increased 29% for the quarter and 25% for the six months.  The
largest expense category, employee compensation and benefits, increased in
conjunction with the increase in commission revenues.  Included in compensation
expense for both the quarter and six month period was an accrual of 
approximately one million dollars for certain one-time expenses, resulting from
a realignment of the Company's operations and management structure, as 
discussed below.  Communications expenses have decreased for the quarter due to
a change in long distance telephone carriers as well as a rate reduction 
through contract re-negotiation.  Interest expense for the six month period 
increased because of increased borrowings to support the increase in customer 
margin loan balances as well as increased activity in the area of stock loans. 
Occupancy and equipment rental costs increased due to new office openings, 
expansions and relocations as well as increased costs associated with a new 
broker-workstation network.  Taxes, other than income taxes, increased due to 
the payroll taxes associated with the increase in compensation expense as well 
as an increase in the Michigan Single Business Tax associated with the increase
in revenues and related payroll costs.  Other expense increases occured in the 
areas of legal, recruiting fees, postage and statement processing costs and 
sales promotion.

Due to certain one-time expenses resulting from a realignment of the Company's
operations and management structure in the second quarter, net income was
reduced by approximately $600,000 or $.22 per share, for both the three month
and six month periods ended March 29, 1996.  Exclusive of the costs associated
with these changes, net income would have been  $215,949 or $.08 per share for
the quarter and $632,280 or $.23 per share for the six month period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash used for operating activities showed a net increase due to an increase in
customer receivables as well as a decrease in employee compensation payable.
The largest uses of cash for operating activities was to purchase securities
inventories as well as pay down balances on stock loaned to other brokers.  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 use of cash for operations.  Cash provided by
financing activities consisted of an increase in bank loans outstanding which
was partially offset by the Company's repurchases of its common stock.  At
March 29, 1996, approximately 88% of the Company's assets were liquid,
consisting mainly of cash or assets readily convertible into cash.  The
Company's largest asset was its receivable from customers, representing
borrowings from the Company by customers to finance the purchase of securities
on margin.  Such receivables from customers were 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 29, 1996, of which $42,750,000 was
outstanding.

Under separate agreements, First of Michigan Capital Corporation had available
short-term lines of credit on an unsecured basis, aggregating $8,000,000.
There were no borrowings against these lines of credit at March 29, 1996.

The Company is subject to the net capital requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commissions 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 29, 1996, the Company's net capital of $16,776,433 exceeded the
minimum requirement by $15,047,805.

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.

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.

OUTLOOK

The Company is refocusing exclusively on growing its business in the state of
Michigan and on significantly improving its financial results.  Significant
cost reductions have occured resulting from the realignment of the Company's
management structure.  

The Company has experienced increased costs as a result of additional space 
leased at the corporate offices as well as increased costs associated with its 
newly enhanced computer systems that have been installed throughout the entire 
branch network.  While these increased expenses initially have a negative 
impact on earnings, management believes that the tools provided to the 
Company's Investment Executives, as well as increased marketing efforts, will 
result in superior client service and ultimately will have a positive impact on 
the Company's profitability.

RESIGNATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

This agreement, made, executed, and delivered as of the 18th day of March,
1996, by and among First of Michigan Capital Corporation, a Delaware
corporation, and its subsidiaries including First of Michigan Corporation and
Cranbrook Capital Management, Inc., and Steve Gasper, Jr., its President and
Chief Executive Officer.


  Board of Directors
  First of Michigan Capital Corporation
  100 Renaissance Center, 26th Floor
  Detroit, Michigan  48243-1182

  Gentlemen:

      Bill Cuddy and I have discussed over the past seven weeks my
  accomplishments at First of Michigan, the future course of the company and my
  objectives.  I have now decided to resign effective immediately as a director,
  officer and employee of First of Michigan Capital Corporation and its
  subsidiaries, including First of Michigan Corporation and Cranbrook Capital
  Management, Inc., so that I may pursue other opportunities.  I will be
  available for a reasonable time to respond to requests for help with the
  transition to new management.

      You have agreed through Bill Cuddy that despite my resignation I will
  continue through March 31, 1997 (i) to be  paid the cash compensation 
  specified in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 3 of my Employment Agreement
  dated April 1, 1994, as amended, (ii) to participate in the existing medical,
  life, disability and dental and vision insurance plans of First of Michigan 
  on the same basis as I now participate and (ii) to use the Aurora automobile
  which First of Michigan currently leases for me, with First of Michigan 
  paying the lease, maintenance and insurance expenses.  In return, I agree 
  that I will not continue to receive any of the other fringe and other 
  employee benefits referred to in Sections 4 and 5 of the Employment 
  Agreement.  I also agree that the Continuing Rights and Obligations as 
  defined in that Employment Agreement will continue to be effective despite 
  my resignation.


  Very truly yours,

  /s/  Steve Gasper, Jr.
