ITEM  5.  OTHER INFORMATION.

         As previously reported by Huntington Bancshares Incorporated, a
Maryland corporation and a registered bank holding company ("Huntington"), on
its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on October 15, 1997, First Michigan Bank Corporation, a Michigan corporation and
a registered bank holding company ("First Michigan"), was merged (the "Merger")
into Huntington on September 30, 1997, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and
Plan of Merger and a Supplemental Agreement (collectively, the "Merger
Agreements"). As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of First
Michigan's common stock, $1.00 par value ("First Michigan Common"), was
converted into 1.155 shares of Huntington's common stock, without par value
("Huntington Common"). Cash was paid for fractional shares. Approximately 32.2
million Huntington Common shares were issued in the Merger. In addition, each
outstanding First Michigan stock option was converted into an option to acquire
Huntington Common, with the number of Huntington Common shares subject to such
option equal to the number of First Michigan shares subject to the First
Michigan stock option multiplied by 1.155, rounded to the nearest whole share.
The Merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests under generally accepted
accounting principles.

         In accordance with Item 7 of Form 8-K, Huntington is submitting with
this filing the required historical financial information of First Michigan.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Nature of Operations
First  Michigan  Bank  Corporation  (FMB)  is a bank  holding  company  with  14
subsidiary  community  banks engaged in the business of commercial  banking (the
Banks). FMB has four non-bank subsidiaries  providing trust,  brokerage,  credit
and title insurance services to customers of the Banks. 

     The Banks are  engaged in the  business of general  commercial,  retail and
mortgage  banking.  The Banks  offer a variety  of  deposit  products  including
checking accounts,  savings accounts, time deposits and short-term deposits. The
Banks conduct  lending  activities in the  residential  and commercial  mortgage
markets,  in the  general  commercial  market  and in the  consumer  installment
marketplace.  These  financial  services and products  are  delivered  through a
network of full-service branches, specialized offices, automatic teller machines
and various electronic  delivery channels.  

     The principal  markets for the Banks'  financial  services are the Michigan
communities  in which  each of the banks is  located  and the areas  immediately
surrounding these  communities.  The Banks serve these markets through 90 branch
offices in or near these communities.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FMB and its
subsidiaries. Upon consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. Goodwill is being amortized over periods up
to 20 years.

     In March 1995,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (FASB)  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed Of."
SFAS  No.  121  requires  that  long-lived   assets  and  certain   identifiable
intangibles  held and used by an entity be reviewed for  impairment and reported
at the lower of  carrying  amount  or fair  value,  less cost to sell,  whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable.

     Management  periodically  reviews goodwill and other long-lived  assets for
impairment  based  upon  the  projected,  undiscounted  net  cash  flows  of the
subsidiaries to which the goodwill relates or the long-lived assets belong.  FMB
has not experienced any impairment of its goodwill and long-lived assets.

     In June 1996, the FASB issued 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
(discussed under "Mortgage  Banking  Operations") to provide further guidance on
measurement of servicing rights relating to assets transferred. The Statement is
effective for transfers,  servicing or extinguishments  occurring after December
31, 1996,  except for certain  provisions which are effective after December 31,
1997. Adoption of the accounting  provisions of this standard is not expected to
have a material effect upon FMB's financial condition or results of operations.

Estimates
The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  at the date of the
financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting
period.  The amount of those assets actually  realized and liabilities  actually
settled in future periods could differ from those estimates. The differences, if
any,  would be  reflected  in the  reported  amounts of revenues and expenses in
future periods.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of reporting cash flows,  cash equivalents  include amounts due
from banks and federal  funds sold.  Generally,  federal funds are purchased and
sold for one-day periods.

Securities
Management has identified as  "available-for-sale"  certain securities which may
be sold in the future to meet FMB's investment objectives of quality,  liquidity
and  yield  and to avoid  significant  market  value  deterioration.  Securities
available-for-sale  are adjusted to fair market value each reporting period with
unrealized  gains and losses reported as a separate  component of  shareholders'
equity, net of tax. Securities  held-to-maturity are stated at cost adjusted for
amortization  of premium and  accretion  of discount.  The adjusted  cost of the
specific  security  sold  is  used to  compute  gain  or loss on all  securities
transactions.

Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses
Loans are stated at their principal balance outstanding, net of unearned income.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level  considered by management
to be adequate  to absorb  possible  future loan losses  inherent in
<PAGE>   6
the current portfolio.  Management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance
is based upon type and volume of the loan portfolio,  past loan loss experience,
existing and anticipated  economic  conditions,  and other factors which deserve
current recognition in estimating possible future loan losses. 

     A portion of the total  allowance  for loan  losses is related to  impaired
loans.  A loan is impaired  when it is probable that the creditor will be unable
to collect all  principal and interest  amounts due according to the  contracted
terms of the loan  agreement.  FMB  considers  loans  that have  been  placed on
non-accrual   status  or  which  have  been  renegotiated  in  a  troubled  debt
restructuring to be impaired. The allowance for loan losses for an impaired loan
is recorded at the amount by which the outstanding  recorded  principal  balance
exceeds the fair 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.  FMB adopted the  accounting  provisions for impaired
loans prospectively as of January 1, 1995. Accordingly, the required disclosures
are presented for 1995 and 1996 only.

Net Premises and Equipment
Premises  and  equipment  are  stated  at cost  less  accumulated  depreciation.
Depreciation  is computed by the  straight-line  method for financial  reporting
purposes. Accelerated depreciation methods are used for income tax purposes.

Other Real Estate
Other real estate, which is included in other assets, is comprised of properties
in the possession of the subsidiary  banks which are generally  acquired through
foreclosure  proceedings or deed in lieu of  foreclosure.  These  properties are
held for sale and are carried at the lower of the amount of the related  loan or
the fair market value of the property minus estimated costs to sell the property
(net  realizable  value).  Losses which may result from the  acquisition of such
properties  are charged  against the  allowance  for loan losses.  Losses in net
realizable value during the holding period are expensed immediately, while gains
are recognized in other operating income only upon disposition.

Employee Benefit Plans
FMB  has a  noncontributory  pension  plan  for  the  benefit  of all  full-time
employees  and  part-time  employees  working  more than  1,000  hours per year.
Benefits  under  the  plan are  based on the  employee's  years of  service  and
compensation during the five consecutive highest paid plan years of the last ten
plan years  preceding  retirement.  FMB's  funding  policy is to  contribute  an
actuarially-determined  amount  that can be  deducted  for  federal  income  tax
purposes.  

     FMB also sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) plan for the benefit of all
employees  over 21 years old. For those  employees  who work 1,000 or more hours
per  year,  FMB  matches  employee   contributions  at  levels  that  management
determines to be appropriate.

     FMB acts as a  self-insurer  for  employees'  medical,  dental and accident
insurance  whereby  it assumes  limited  liabilities  with the excess  liability
assumed by  underwriters.  Claims for active employees are charged to operations
during the year in which they occur.

     FMB has a  postretirement  benefit  plan that  provides  medical and dental
coverage  between  the ages of 60 and 65 to any  full-time  employee  who elects
early retirement  after 10 or more years of service.  The plan contains the same
cost-sharing  features of deductibles  and copayments  that are contained in the
medical and dental insurance plans provided to active employees. Partial funding
of the plan is accomplished  through monthly  contributions  to a self-insurance
trust fund which was  established  to cover the medical  and dental  benefits of
both  retirees  and  active  participants.   The  monthly  contribution  to  the
self-insurance  trust  fund  for  each  retiree  is  equivalent  to  the  amount
contributed each month for an active participant.

Mortgage Banking Operations
FMB originates  mortgage loans which it sells into the secondary market.  Closed
mortgage  loans are held for sale  generally  less than 15 days,  and book value
approximates  market value.  FMB retains the servicing  rights when it sells the
mortgage loans. Servicing income is recognized in other non-interest income when
received and expenses are recognized in operating expenses when incurred.  

     On January 1, 1996, FMB prospectively adopted the accounting provisions for
mortgage servicing rights promulgated by SFAS No. 122,  "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights," which is an amendment to SFAS No. 65, "Accounting for Certain
Mortgage Banking Activities." SFAS No. 122 amends SFAS No. 65 to require that an
asset be recognized  for the rights to service  mortgage loans  including  those
rights that are created by the  origination  of mortgage loans which are sold or
securitized with the servicing rights retained by the originator.  The amount of
the asset for these  originated  mortgage  servicing rights (OMSR) is determined
based upon the relative fair value of the underlying  mortgage loans without the
OMSR and the OMSR itself.  Recognition of these assets results in an increase in
the gains recognized upon the sale of the underlying  loans. The OMSR assets are
being  amortized in  proportion to and over the life of the estimated net future
servicing income. FMB
<PAGE>   7
stratifies  the mortgage  loans sold by sale date,  term and  interest  rate for
purposes of applying SFAS No. 122 both for the origination valuation of the OMSR
and for evaluating  the remaining book value of the OMSR assets for  impairment.
Any impairment is recognized as a separate valuation allowance for each impaired
stratum.  Due to the prospective  adoption of these accounting  provisions,  the
required disclosures are presented for 1996 only. The overall impact of adoption
was not material to FMB's results of operations for the year.

Stock Options
FMB  applies  the  intrinsic  value  method  of  accounting   promulgated  under
Accounting  Principles  Board (APB) Opinion 25,  "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," and related interpretations for its fixed-price,  stock option plan.
Accordingly,  no compensation  cost is recognized as a result of options awarded
to employees under the plan.  

     SFAS No. 123,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation,"  which  became
effective January 1, 1996, establishes a fair value method of accounting for all
stock-based  compensation,  but it allows  companies  to continue to account for
stock  options  granted  to  employees  under  the  intrinsic  value  method  in
accordance with APB Opinion 25. Companies  electing to maintain their accounting
for employee stock compensation under APB Opinion 25 are required to provide pro
forma net  income  and  earnings  per share  disclosures,  determined  as if the
company had applied the fair value accounting method under SFAS No. 123. FMB has
elected to continue to account for its stock option plans in accordance with APB
Opinion 25 and, accordingly,  has provided the supplemental disclosures for 1995
and 1996 that are required by this new accounting standard.

Interest Income and Fees on Loans
Interest on loans is accrued based upon the principal balance  outstanding.  The
recognition  of  interest  income  is  discontinued  when,  in  the  opinion  of
management, there is sufficient doubt that the borrower will be able to meet the
scheduled repayments. When the accrual of interest is discontinued,  the balance
of interest accrued but not collected is eliminated from income.  

     For impaired loans that are on non-accrual  status,  cash payments received
are generally  applied to reduce the outstanding  recorded  principal balance of
the loans. However, 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  renegotiated  in a 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.

     For loans with an initial term  exceeding one year,  loan  origination  and
commitment  fees and related  lending costs are deferred,  and the net amount is
amortized as an adjustment of the related  loan's yield over its original  term.
The net  unamortized  amount  related  to a loan  that is  subsequently  sold is
recognized  currently as other operating income.  For loans with an initial term
of one year or less,  the  effect  of the  deferral  of loan  fees and  costs is
immaterial to the operations of FMB.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements
Interest rate swap agreements are derivative financial  instruments entered into
for the purpose of hedging short-term interest sensitivity positions against the
impact of changes in interest rates.  The interest rate  differential to be paid
or received is recognized in interest income over the life of the agreements.

Advertising Costs
All  advertising  costs  incurred  are  expensed in the period in which they are
incurred.

Income Taxes
FMB and its  subsidiaries  file a consolidated  federal  income tax return.  The
parent  company and its  subsidiaries  each report current income tax expense as
allocated under a consolidated  tax sharing  agreement.  Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are computed by each member of the  consolidated  group based on the
difference  between the  financial  statement and income tax basis of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates. The reversal of these temporary differences
will result in taxable or  deductible  amounts in future  years when the related
asset or liability is recovered or settled within each entity.

Trust Assets and Income
Property,  other than cash  deposits,  held by subsidiary  banks in fiduciary or
agency  capacities  for their  customers  is not  included  in the  accompanying
consolidated  balance  sheets since such property is not an asset of FMB.  Trust
income is reported on an accrual basis.

Income Per Share
Income per share is computed based on the average  number of shares  outstanding
during each period including the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options, and
is retroactively  adjusted for stock dividends and splits.  
<PAGE>   8
Note 2. Acquisitions
On April 15, 1996, FMB acquired Arcadia Financial  Corporation (Arcadia) and its
wholly-owned  subsidiary,  which was subsequently  renamed FMB-Arcadia Bank. The
acquisition  was  effected  through the  exchange of 1.648  shares of FMB common
stock  (653,749  shares in total) for each  outstanding  share of  Arcadia.  The
acquisition  was  accounted  for  as a  pooling-of-interests.  Accordingly,  the
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated to include the
balances and results of operations of Arcadia prior to the acquisition. 

     Separate pro forma results of  operations of the combined  entities for the
periods prior to their respective  acquisition  dates are as follows (dollars in
thousands, except for per share data):

     As permitted by the transition provisions in the guide to implementation of
SFAS No. 115 issued by the FASB in November  1995,  FMB  transferred  securities
with  an  amortized  cost  of  $110,674,000  from  the  held-to-maturity  to the
available-for-sale category on December 27, 1995. The net unrealized gain on the
securities transferred amounted to $421,000.

     As of December 31, 1996, all holdings of debt securities were of investment
grade  with over 95% of the  holdings  rated A or better  by either  Moody's  or
Standard  and  Poor's.   Securities   not  rated  by  a  nationally   recognized
organization  represent smaller local issues which in management's  opinion,  if
rated,  would  qualify  as A or  better.  Securities  with a  carrying  value of
$171,380,000 at December 31, 1996 were pledged for various  purposes as required
or permitted by law.

     The  carrying  value and  estimated  market  value of debt  securities,  by
contractual  maturity,  are shown in the table below.  Expected  maturities will
differ from contractual  maturities because borrowers may have the right to call
or prepay  obligations  with or without call or  prepayment  penalties.  For the
purposes of this table, the maturities of  mortgage-backed  securities have been
determined   using   weighted-average   expected  lives,   taking  into  account
anticipated future prepayments.  Maturities of investments in debt securities as
of December 31, 1996 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

     The Banks have granted loans to directors and executive officers of FMB and
its significant subsidiaries and to their associates.  These related party loans
are  made  on  substantially  the  same  terms,  including  interest  rates  and
collateral,  as those  prevailing at the time for comparable  transactions  with
unrelated  persons and do not involve  more than normal risk of  collectibility.
The aggregate  dollar amount of these loans was  $28,295,000  and $31,797,000 at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  During 1996, $12,791,000 of new loans
were made,  repayments  amounted to $12,387,000 and changes in persons included,
decreased the aggregate loans to related parties by $3,906,000.

$10,000,000  that had been  advanced  under a line of credit  and  standby  loan
agreement  with another  financial  institution.  Advances on the agreement bore
interest at  seven-tenths  of a percent over the daily federal funds rate.  This
replaces the previous  $10,000,000  line of credit.  All amounts advanced on the
loan  agreement  were  converted to a term note as of August 15, 1996,  which is
recorded as long-term debt. Various of the Banks have obtained advances from the
Federal  Home Loan Bank of which they are  members.  The advances are secured by

Note 10. Shareholders' Equity
Common stock consists of 50,000,000 shares authorized, at $1 par value, of which
26,304,157  and  18,848,338  were  outstanding  at  December  31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. On June 13, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a four-for-three
stock split to  shareholders  of record on July 1, 1996,  payable July 26, 1996.
There are  1,904,553  common  shares  reserved for  issuance  under the dividend
reinvestment,  employee stock purchase and stock option plans,  and the deferred
compensation,  deferred stock and current stock  purchase plan for  non-employee
directors.  Preferred stock consists of 1,000,000 shares  authorized,  at no par
value, none of which are issued.  There are 120,000 shares reserved for issuance
under the  Shareholder  Protection  Rights  Plan  (Plan)  Under  the  Plan,  one
preferred share right (Right) was distributed as a dividend on each  outstanding
share of common  stock.  The Plan is  designed to protect  shareholders  against
unsolicited attempts to acquire control of FMB in a manner that does not offer a
fair price to all shareholders.  Each right will entitle shareholders to buy one
one-hundredth  of a share of  preferred  stock from FMB at an exercise  price of
$20.99.  The Rights will be  exercisable  only if a person or group  acquires 15
percent or more of the  common  stock.  If any  person or group does  acquire 15
percent or more of FMB common  stock,  each  Right  will  entitle  its holder to
purchase,  for the exercise price,  shares of FMB's common stock having a market
value of twice the exercise price. Also, if any person or group acquires between
15 percent and 50 percent of FMB's  common  stock,  the Board of  Directors  may
elect to exchange  one share of FMB's  common  stock or one  one-hundredth  of a
share of  preferred  stock for each  Right.  FMB will be  entitled to redeem the
Rights at one cent per Right at any time before a 15 percent  position  has been
acquired.

The health care cost trend rate is assumed to decrease 0.5% annually through the
year 1997 and 1.0%  annually  through the year 2002 to a rate of 5.0% and remain
at that level  thereafter.  The health  care cost  trend rate  assumption  has a
significant effect on the amounts reported. An increase of 1.0% each year in the
assumed   health   care  cost  trend  rate  would   increase   the   accumulated
postretirement  benefit  obligation  at December  31,  1996 by $388,000  and the
aggregate  of the service  and  interest  cost  components  of the net  periodic
postretirement benefit cost for 1996 by $71,000.

Note  16.  Financial  Instruments  with  Off-Balance-Sheet  Risk 
FMB is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet  risk, all of which
are entered into for purposes other than trading.  These instruments are used in
the normal course of business to meet the  financing  needs of its customers and
reduce  its  own  exposure  to   fluctuations  in  interest  rates  and  include
commitments  to extend  credit,  letters of  credit,  foreign  exchange  forward
contracts, interest rate forward contracts and interest rate swap agreements. To
varying  degrees,  they  involve  elements of credit and  interest  rate risk in
excess  of the  amounts  recognized  in the  consolidated  balance  sheets.  The
contract  or  notional  amounts  of these  instruments  reflect  the  extent  of
involvement FMB has in these particular categories of financial instruments.

     Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as
there  are  no  violations  of any  conditions  established  in  the  contracts.
Commitments  generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination  clauses
and may require  payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements.

     Letters  of  credit  are  conditional  commitments  issued  by the Banks to
guarantee the  performance of customers to third parties.  Letters of credit are
written  for a fixed  period of time,  usually one year or less,  and  generally
require  payment of a fee. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit
is  essentially  the same as that  involved  in  extending  loan  facilities  to
customers.

     For both  commitments  to extend  credit and  letters of credit,  the Banks
evaluate each customer's credit  worthiness on a case-by-case  basis. The amount
of  collateral  obtained,  if deemed  necessary  by the Banks upon  extension of
credit, is based on management's  credit evaluation.  Collateral held varies but
may include accounts receivable,  inventory,  property, plant and equipment, and
income-producing commercial properties.

     FMB enters into  foreign  exchange  forward  contracts  to purchase or sell
foreign  currencies at a future date at a  predetermined  exchange  rate.  These
contracts are used to assist  customers with  international  transactions  based
upon  foreign  denominated  currencies.  There is credit  risk and  exposure  to
foreign currency  exchange  fluctuations  inherent in these  transactions to the
extent  that the  customer  would  fail to  fulfill  its  purchase  or  delivery
responsibility and FMB would execute the transaction at the prevailing  currency
valuation, which may be different than the value of the original contract.

     Interest rate forward contracts are utilized by FMB in its mortgage banking
operations  to hedge the value of  residential  real estate loans that are being
underwritten  for anticipated  sale to secondary  market  investors.  Changes in
market  interest  rates,  between the time that a customer  receives a rate-lock
commitment and the sale of the  fully-funded  loan, can change the sale value of
the loan. FMB enters into forward contracts to sell exchange traded  instruments
whose  change  in  value,  due to the same  change  in  market  interest  rates,
substantially  offsets  the change in sale value of the  underlying  rate-locked
loans which are anticipated to be funded.

     FMB and its  subsidiaries  enter into interest rate swap agreements as part
of the  asset/liability  management  process  to hedge its  short-term  interest
sensitivity  position against the impact of changes in interest rates.  Interest
rate swap  agreements  generally  involve  the  exchange  of fixed and  floating
interest payment  obligations  without the exchange of the underlying  principal
amounts.  The interest rate differential to be paid or received is recognized in
interest income over the life of the agreements.

     The  exposure  to credit loss in the event of  nonperformance  by the other
party to the financial  instruments for commitments to extend credit and letters
of credit written is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.
The Banks use the same credit  policies in making  commitments  and  conditional
obligations as they do for  on-balance-sheet  instruments.  For foreign exchange
and interest  rate forward  contracts  and interest  rate swap  agreements,  the
notional or contract  amounts do not  represent  exposure  to credit  loss.  FMB
controls the credit risk for these instruments through credit approvals,  limits
and monitoring procedures.

     Substantially  all of FMB's  business  during the years  presented  is with
customers in the State of Michigan with no group concentration of credit.

     The   contract  or  notional   amounts  of   financial   instruments   with
off-balance-sheet  risk,  held for purposes  other than trading,  are as follows

Note 17.  Disclosures About Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Most of FMB's assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments.  Many
of FMB's financial  instruments lack an available trading market,  and it is the
intent  and  general  practice  of FMB to  hold  its  financial  instruments  to
maturity.  As a result,  significant  assumptions and present value calculations
were used in determining estimated fair values. 

     For financial  instruments bearing a variable interest rate, it is presumed
that recorded book values are reasonable  estimates of fair value. For all other
financial  instruments,  the  following  methods  and  assumptions  were used to
estimate fair values:

Cash and cash equivalents
Recorded  book  value of cash and due from  banks and  federal  funds  sold is a
reasonable estimate of fair value.

Interest bearing deposits with banks
The present value of future cash flows from interest bearing deposits with banks
is used to  determine  estimated  fair value.  The  discount  rates used are the
current rates that FMB would receive for similar deposits.

Securities
Quoted  market  prices  for  the  specific  instruments  owned,  or for  similar
securities, are used to determine estimated fair value.

Loans
FMB holds in its portfolio few loans of the type that are readily salable in the
secondary  market,  or  that  are  commonly  used  to  collateralize  investment
securities. Therefore, the present value of estimated future cash flows from the
loan portfolio is used to determine fair value.  The discount rates used are the
current rates at which loans with similar terms would be made to borrowers  with
similar credit ratings.

Mortgage servicing rights
The estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights is computed by discounting
the  projected  future  net cash  flows  relating  to  mortgage  loans sold with
servicing retained given period-end assumptions  regarding,  among other things,
market servicing costs and estimated long-term prepayments.

Deposits without stated maturities
Recorded book value of non-interest  bearing demand deposits and savings and NOW
account  deposits,  representing  the amount  payable on demand at the reporting
date, is a reasonable  estimate of fair value. 

     The relationship  value of these  instruments,  commonly referred to as the
core deposit  intangible,  is not  considered a financial  instrument and is not
included in the fair value disclosure.  The value of the core deposit intangible
would significantly increase the estimated fair value of FMB's financial assets.

Deposits with stated maturities
The present  value of future cash flows for time  deposits is used to  determine
estimated fair value.  The discount rates used are the current rates offered for
time deposits with similar maturities.

Other borrowed funds
For short-term borrowings,  recorded book value is a reasonable estimate of fair
value due to the  relatively  short  period  between  origination  and  expected
repayment of these instruments. 

     For Federal Home Loan Bank advances, the present value of future cash flows
is used to  determine  estimated  fair value.  The  discount  rates used are the
current rates offered for advances with similar  maturities.  

Long-term debt 
The  present  value of future  cash flows for  long-term  debt issues is used to
determine  estimated fair value. The discount rate used is the average of quoted
yields to  maturity  on trades of  similarly-rated  financial  institution  debt
issues.

Accrued interest
Accrued interest receivable and payable on financial  instruments is included in
the  reported  values  of  the  underlying  instruments.  For  accrued  interest
receivable  and payable,  the recorded book values are  reasonable  estimates of
fair value.

Off-balance-sheet financial instruments held for purposes other than trading
For foreign exchange and interest rate forward  contracts and interest rate swap
agreements,  dealer  quotes  for the  specific  instruments  owned  are  used to
determine  estimated fair value. These values represent the estimated amount FMB
would pay to terminate the agreements,  taking into account the current interest
rates.  For

<PAGE>   18
commitments to extend credit and letters of credit,  the fees currently  charged
for similar  agreements are used to determine  estimated  fair value.  Given the
market in which it operates,  FMB seldom  charges fees on  commitments to extend
credit.

The estimated fair values of FMB's financial instruments are as follows (dollars

The remaining  balance sheet assets and  liabilities  of FMB are not  considered
financial  instruments  and have not been valued  differently  than is customary
under  historical cost  accounting.  Since assets and  liabilities  that are not
financial instruments are excluded above, the difference between total financial
assets and financial  liabilities does not, nor is it intended to, represent the
market value of FMB.  Furthermore,  the estimated fair value information may not
be comparable between financial  institutions due to the wide range of valuation
techniques  permitted,  and  assumptions  necessitated,  in  the  absence  of an
available trading market.

Note 19. Regulatory Restrictions
The Banks may,  from time to time,  be  required  to  maintain  certain  average
reserve  balances  with the Federal  Reserve Bank.  During 1996 and 1995,  these
reserves were $9,021,000 and $7,594,000, respectively.
     Federal and state banking laws and regulations  place certain  restrictions
on the amount of dividends and loans that a bank must pay to its parent company.
Of the  $263,349,000  in net assets of the Banks,  $49,311,000  is available for
dividends to the parent  company in 1997 (before  considering  1997 net income),
and the remaining $214,038,000 is restricted based on minimum risk-based capital
requirements now in effect.


Note 20. Regulatory Capital Requirements
FMB and the  Banks  individually  are  subject  to  various  regulatory  capital
requirements  administered  by the  federal  banking  agencies.  Failure to meet
minimum  capital  requirements  can  initiate  certain  mandatory  and  possibly
additional  discretionary  actions  by the  regulators  that could have a direct
material effect on the financial  statements of the Banks and of FMB as a whole.
Under the capital  adequacy  guidelines and the regulatory  framework for prompt
corrective  action, the Banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve
quantitative   measures   the   Banks'   assets,   liabilities,    and   certain
off-balance-sheet  items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. In
addition,  the  Banks'  capital  amounts  and  classifications  are  subject  to
qualitative  judgments by the regulators about  components,  risk weightings and
other factors.

First Michigan Bank Corporation
Holland, Michigan



We have audited the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets of First Michigan
Bank  Corporation  and  subsidiaries  as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,  and the
related consolidated  statements of income,  shareholders' equity and cash flows
for each of the  three  years in the  period  ended  December  31,  1996.  These
financial   statements  are  the   responsibility  of  FMB's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

We  conducted  our   audits  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  of
material  misstatement. An  audit includes  examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all  material  aspects,  the  financial  position  of First Michigan
Bank  Corporation  and  subsidiaries  at  December 31, 1996  and  1995, and  the
results of their operations and their cash  flows for each of the three years in
the  period  ended  December 31, 1996  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.
