MICHIGAN NATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS




Non-interest expense, excluding non-recurring items, was $429.2 million for
1994 compared to $571.6 million in 1993.  Contributing to this decline was a
reduction in salaries and wages related to the implementation of Project
Streamline, successful implementation of a $30 million cost reduction program
announced earlier in 1994, and lower purchased mortgage servicing rights
amortization and other expenses and from the disposition of IOMC's servicing
business and non-Michigan businesses.

Partially due to charge-offs and write-downs resulting from accelerated
disposition program discussed above, Non-performing Assets decreased by $112.2
million, or 44%, from last year, to $143 million.  Non-performing Assets as a
percent of loans plus REO declined from 3.77% to 2.37% during the year, and the
Non-performing Loan-to-total loan ratio decreased from 2.36% to 1.81%.  Net
charge-offs for 1994 were 1.04% of average loans versus 0.38% in 1993.
Excluding charge-offs taken in connection with the accelerated disposition
strategy and bulk sales of non-performing commercial real estate assets
earlier in 1994, annualized net charge-offs for 1994 were 0.30% of average
loans.  The Corporation's allowance for credit losses was $164.3 million at
year-end, representing 2.73% of total loans and 151% of Non-performing Loans.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 4, 1995, the Corporation executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger
by and among National Australia Bank Limited A.C.N. 004044937, a banking
corporation organized under the laws of Australia (the "National"), MNC
Acquisition Co., a Michigan corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the
National ("Acquisition"), and the Corporation (the "Merger Agreement").  The
Merger Agreement provides that (i) Acquisition will be merged with and into the
Corporation (the "Merger"), with the Corporation continuing as the surviving
corporation; (ii) the Corporation will thereupon become a wholly owned
subsidiary of the National; and (iii) each outstanding share of common stock,
par value $10 per share, of the Corporation (the "Common Stock") (other than
certain shares owned by the Corporation, the National, or their respective
subsidiaries, which will be canceled) will be converted, upon the effectiveness
of the Merger, into the right to receive $110 in cash, without interest.  The
transaction, which is expected to be completed in six to nine months, is
subject to approval by the Corporation's shareholders and various regulatory
approvals.

Further information about the Agreement and Plan of Merger is contained in the
Corporation's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed February 15, 1995, and which is
incorporated herein by reference.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



Shareholders and Board of Directors
Michigan National Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition
of Michigan National Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and
1993, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1994.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
Michigan National Corporation'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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Michigan National Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Notes A and R to the consolidated financial statements, the
Corporation adopted recently issued Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards, and, accordingly changed its method of accounting for investments in
debt and equity securities in 1994, its method of accounting for postretirement
benefits other than pensions in 1993, and its method for accounting for income
taxes in 1992.
