NOTE F: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On January 22, 1996, Old Kent acquired Republic Mortgage Corp. ("Republic"),
headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, with 19 other offices. The acquisition
was treated as a purchase for accounting purposes and, accordingly, results of
operations of Republic are included in Old Kent's consolidated results of
operations from the date of acquisition. Republic's shareholders were issued
Old Kent common stock in exchange for all the outstanding shares of republic.
At December 31, 1995, Republic had assets of $39 million and serviced $127
million of residential mortgages for third parties.
On February 2, 1996, Old Kent sold its wholly owned subsidiary First National
Bank of Lockport to Heritage Financial Services, Inc. The Cash sale price was
$16,750,000. At the time of the sale, the bank had total assets of $102
million, total deposits of $81 million, and operated from one office in
Lockport, Illinois. First National Bank of Lockport was among a group of
banks acquired by Old Kent in its 1994 acquisition of EdgeMark Financial
Corporation. The sale was consistent with Old Kent's strategic focus on
business development and retail banking in the metropolitan Chicago area.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors which have affected the Registrant's financial
condition and results of operations during the periods included in the
consolidated financial statements included in this filing.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Registrant's net income was $39,234,000 for the first quarter of 1996
compared to $34,703,000 for the same period in 1995. First quarter
earnings per share was $.86, a 13.2% increase over last year's $.76.
Total assets were $12.2 billion at quarter-end compared to $12.0 billion
at December 31, 1995. Return on average equity for the first quarter of
1996 was 15.35% compared to 15.28% for the first quarter of 1995. Return
on assets was 1.31% for the first quarter of 1996 compared to 1.21% for
the first quarter of 1995.
The Registrant's net interest income for the first quarter of 1996 was
$118.2 million, a .3% increase over the $117.8 million recorded in the
same period of 1995. The increase in net income was due to earning asset
growth which offset the impact of a lower net interest margin. For the
first quarter of 1996, the net interest margin was 4.34% compared to 4.51%
a year ago. The decrease in the net interest margin is primarily due to
increased borrowing costs, as the interest costs for paying liabilities
rose to a greater extent than the yields of earning assets.
The provision for credit losses was $6.3 million in the first quarter of
1996 and $4.6 million in the first quarter of 1995. The increase in the
provision reflected a higher level of credit risk in the Registrant's
credit card portfolio. The allowance for credit losses as a percent of
loans and leases outstanding was 2.28% at March 31, 1996 and 2.35% at
December 31, 1995. Nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans was
.62% at March 31, 1996 and .58% at December 31, 1995. Net credit losses
were $5.9 million or .31% of average loans for the first quarter of 1996
compared to $0.8 million or .05% of average loans for the same period a
year ago.
Total other operating income, excluding securities transactions and other
nonrecurring income, increased 35% or $13.0 million during the first
quarter of 1996 over the same period a year ago. This includes $7.8
million related to our mortgage business. Mortgage banking gains
increased $3.4 million, or 141%; mortgage servicing revenue increased
$2.3 million, or 61%; and net mortgage origination revenue increased $2.0
million, or 204%. The increase in mortgage originations includes the
impact of the Registrant's January acquisition of Republic Mortgage
Corporation. Service charges on deposits increased 17.2% or $1.6 million,
trust income increased $.7 million or 7.2%. All other service charges and
fees increased $3.6 million over the same period a year ago. This
increase includes insurance commissions of $2.1 million associated with
Guyot, Hicks, Anderson and Associates, an insurance agency acquired in
December 1995.
Nonrecurring and other real-estate owned income of $2.5 million is mainly
comprised of gains on sales of other real-estate owned.
<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
The Registrant sold approximately $628.4 million of residential mortgage
loans during the quarter. The Registrant's residential third party
mortgage servicing portfolio increased nearly 60% to $7.2 billion at March
31, 1996, from $4.5 billion a year-ago. The residential third party
mortgage servicing portfolio was $6.9 billion at December 31, 1995.
Total net securities gains for the first quarter of 1996 were $854,000
compared to losses of $137,000 for the same period of 1995.
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 1996 increased 7.3% over
the same period of 1995. Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased
8.9% for the first quarter of 1996 over the first quarter of 1995. The
increase was primarily the result of business acquisitions. The number of
full-time equivalent employees increased by 133 (2.5%) over a year-ago to
5,379 at March 31, 1996. During the first quarter of 1996 compared to the
same period a year ago, equipment expenses decreased 4.2%, and occupancy
expenses increased 3.2%. FDIC expenses decreased 96.5%, due to decreases
in the rate assessment by the FDIC. Other operating expenses increased
$7.7 million, which includes $2.8 million of increased amortization of our
mortgage servicing rights and $2.0 million in additional advertising
expense. The increase in other operating expense also includes increases
resulting from the recent acquisitions of Republic Mortgage Company in
February of 1996 and Guyot, Hicks, Anderson and Associates, an insurance
agency, in December of 1995.
BALANCE SHEET CHANGES
Total loans increased 2.6% or $193 million from year-end 1995. During the
first quarter of 1996, commercial loans grew at annualized rate of 17%, a
result of continued loan demand in the Registrant's eastern Michigan and
Illinois markets. Total securities (excluding securities available-for-
sale valuation adjustment) increased $154 million since year-end 1995.
Mortgages held-for-sale increased 40% or $109 million and other interest-
earning assets decreased 89% or $210 million, since year-end 1995. Total
interest-earning assets (excluding securities available-for-sale valuation
adjustment) increased 2.2% or $245 million from December 31, 1995.
Total deposits increased 3.6% or $337 million from year-end 1995. Non-
interest bearing deposits decreased 5% or $76 million and interest-bearing
deposits increased 5.3% or $413 million. Short-term borrowed funds
decreased 14.4% or $189 million from December 31, 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The maintenance of an adequate level of liquidity is necessary to ensure
that sufficient funds are available to meet customers' loan demand and
deposit withdrawals. The banking subsidiaries' liquidity sources consist
of securities available-for-sale, maturing loans and securities held-to-
maturity, and other short-term investments. Liquidity has also been
obtained through liabilities such as customer-related core deposits, funds
borrowed, certificates of deposit and public funds deposits.

CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
At March 31, 1996, shareholders' equity was $1,020 million, compared to
$937 million at March 31, 1995. Total equity at March 31, 1996 is reduced
by an after-tax unrealized loss of $10 million on securities available-
for-sale. Shareholders' equity as a percentage of total assets as of
March 31, 1995 was 8.38%. The following table represents the Registrant's
regulatory capital position as of March 31, 1996.
