                      SHORELINE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

           NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements were prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X
and the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete presentation of financial statements.  In the opinion of
management, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to
present fairly the financial condition of Shoreline Financial Corporation
as of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the results of its
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, and its cash
flows for the three months then ended.  The results of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.

       On January 1, 1996, Shoreline adopted several new accounting
pronouncements.  SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," establishes 
guidance in determining impairment of long-lived and intangible assets
and related treatment if the value is determined to be impaired.  SFAS No.
122, "Accounting for Mortgage-Servicing Rights," changes the accounting
for mortgage servicing rights when servicing rights are retained for
loans originated and subsequently sold.  SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," requires disclosure of the fair value and pro
forma net income effect of granting stock options.  The effect of adopting
these standards was not material to the consolidated financial statements
of Shoreline Financial Corporation.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

       The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Shoreline Financial Corporation and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Shoreline Bank.  All material intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES

       Securities are classified into held to maturity, available for
sale and trading categories.  Held to maturity securities are those which
the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity,
and are reported at amortized cost.  Available for sale securities are
those which the Corporation may decide to sell if needed for liquidity,
asset-liability management or other reasons.  Available for sale securities

                       -8-
are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses included as a
separate component of equity, net of tax.  Trading securities are bought
principally for sale in the near term, and are reported at fair value with
unrealized gains or losses included in earnings.  The Corporation did not
hold any securities considered for this category at any time during the
first quarter of 1996.

       Realized gains or losses are determined based on the amortized
cost of the specific security sold.

       During the three month period ended March 31, 1996, the proceeds
from sales of available for sale securities were $701,131, with gross
realized gains of $34,763 and gross realized losses of $2,024 from those
sales.  For this period, the change in net unrealized holding gains on
available for sale securities was a decrease of $956,000.  There were no
sales or transfers of securities classified as held to maturity.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

       Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net
value of tangible assets acquired and related core deposit intangibles
identified in branch acquisitions.  Goodwill is being amortized on a
straight-line basis for a period of ten years.  The related core deposit
intangibles are amortized on an accelerated basis over the estimated life
of the deposits acquired.  Goodwill totaled $172,524 and $182,477 at March
31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.  Core deposit intangibles
totaled $2,399,287 and $2,459,916 at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
respectively.  These amounts are included in Other Assets in the
accompanying balance sheet.

INCOME TAXES

       Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
is based upon the liability method, according to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  Certain income
tax and expense items are reported in different time periods for tax
purposes.  Deferred or prepaid taxes are recorded in the balance sheet for
these temporary differences.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

       Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common equivalent
shares with a dilutive effect.  Common equivalent shares are shares which
may be issuable to employees upon exercise of outstanding stock options. 
The average number of shares was 5,249,093 in the three months ended March
31, 1996 and 5,242,174 in the three months ended March 31, 1995.

NOTE  2 - INCOME TAXES

Components for the provision of federal income taxes are as follows:

  Income Tax Expense                                           $  891,000
</TABLE>

The deferred income taxes are due primarily to the temporary difference
related to depreciation, bad debt deductions, mark-to-market of securities
held for sale and deferred loan fees.

The difference between the provision for income taxes shown on the
statement of income and amounts computed by applying the statutory federal
income tax rate to income before tax expense is as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

        Total deposits averaged $594.9 million during the first quarter of
1996. This represents an increase of $16.4 million or 2.8% over the
previous quarter's average of $578.4 million. Approximately $8 million of
this increase resulted from the acquisition of the  Adamsville, Michigan
branch from Old Kent Bank. A comparison of the quarterly averages for the
past two quarters follows:

<TABLE>

Savings Deposits                                   178,755        177,587
Time Deposits                                      268,875        259,528
   Total                                          $594,855       $578,408
</TABLE>

          In comparison to the fourth quarter of 1995, interest-bearing
demand deposits increased $9.4 million. Shoreline Bank's Super Public Fund
NOW account continues to attract increased usage from municipal customers,
accounting for the majority of this increase. The increase in time deposit
average balances during the first quarter reflects both the branch
acquisition in December and a $3.2 million  increase in time deposits
greater than $100,000. On March 31, 1996, deposits totaled $603.4 million
which compares with the December 31, 1995 total of $592.3 million. 

       Total loans averaged $473.7 million during the first quarter of
1996 which compares to the previous quarter's average of $458.5 million.
While all three loan portfolios contributed to this increase, Shoreline's
mortgage loan portfolio provided the majority of the increase. Average
mortgage loans increased $11.3 million caused by a combination of increased
originations, slightly reduced sales to the secondary market and reduced
principal reductions. The commercial and consumer loan portfolios increased
$2.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in comparison to the fourth
quarter of 1995.  At March 31, 1996, total loans amounted to $483.4
million, an increase of  $17.4 million over December 31, 1995.

       Total investments averaged $159.2 million in the first quarter of
1996. This compares to the previous quarter's average of $155.9 million.
Increased average federal funds provided the growth in this area. Federal
funds sold averaged $10.2 million or 1.5% of total average assets. 


                      -11-
       Total non-performing assets at March 31, 1996 were $1.5 million,
which represented .31% of Shoreline's total loan portfolio at that date.
This level of non-performing assets compares to December 31, 1995's ratio
of .35%. Non-performing assets include loans that are classified for
regulatory purposes as contractually past due 90 days or more, on non-
accrual status or "troubled debt restructurings" and other real estate
owned.

       During the first quarter of 1996, Shoreline experienced net loan
charge-offs of $66,826 which represents only .01% of total average loans.
As a result, the Corporation lowered its quarterly provision for loan
losses from $175,000 in the fourth quarter of 1995 to $150,000 in the first
quarter of 1996. At March 31, 1996, Shoreline's allowance for loan losses
amounted to $6,687,325 which represents 1.38% of total loans and provides a
coverage of over 4 times the level of non-performing assets identified at
March 31, 1996. At December 31, 1995, the ratio of the allowance for loan
losses to total loans was 1.42%.

LIQUIDITY AND RATE SENSITIVITY

       During the first quarter of 1996, Shoreline's loan to deposit
ratio was 79.6%. This represents a slight increase from the previous
quarter's ratio of 79.3%. As  previously noted, during the first quarter,
average federal funds sold represented 1.5% of Shoreline's total assets.
Approximately $100 million or 68.8% of Shoreline's total securities
portfolio was classified as available for sale on March 31, 1996 and
$646,000 of loans were classified as held for sale. On March 31, 1996,
Shoreline had commitments to make or purchase loans, including the unused
portion of lines of credit, totaling $105 million.






















                      -12-
       On March 31, 1996, the cumulative funding gaps of interest-
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for selected maturity

</TABLE>

          This table indicates that total liabilities maturing or repricing
within one year exceed assets maturing or repricing within one year by
$174.4 million. The same presentation as of December 31, 1995 produced a
liability gap of $156.6 million for the same time period. Competitive
pressures and other influences may cause certain assets and liabilities to
mature or reprice in other periods or at different volumes than indicated
above. Specifically, all demand and savings accounts are presented as
repricing in the 0-3 month period. Management believes that these types of
accounts are not as sensitive to changes in interest rates in the short
term as this presentation would indicate and that the positive funding gap
in the 1-5 year period is more reflective of the Corporation's experience. 

CAPITAL RESOURCES

          Total shareholders' equity amounted to $64.9 million on March 31,
1996. Included in this total are net unrealized gains on securities
available for sale totaling $1.5 million. During the first quarter of 1996,
Shoreline's Board of Directors approved and paid a cash dividend of $.20
per share. A summary of Shoreline's capital position follows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 was $2,357,558,
an increase of  15.4% over the same period in 1995. Increased net interest
income resulting from increased volume along with reduced other expenses
produced the increase in earnings over the prior year.  The following table
illustrates the effect that changes in rates and volumes of earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities had on net interest income:

          Shoreline expensed $150,000 for the provision for loan losses in
the first quarter of 1996, reduced from the previous quarter's provision of
$175,000. The provision for loan losses is based upon loan loss experience
and such other factors which, in management's judgment, deserve current
recognition in maintaining an adequate allowance for loan losses.

          Total other income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 amounted
to $986,517, a decrease of $61,702 from the first quarter in 1995.
Increased trust and security transaction income did not offset declines in
service charge and other income. Trust income increased $40,121 or 12.1%
over the first quarter of 1995. Increased trust assets managed helped to
produce this increase. Gains from securities transactions totaled $70,639
during the first three months of 1996 compared to net losses of $30,856
during the three months ended March 31, 1995. Deposit service charge income
declined $39,552 from the prior year. Emphasis on relationship business
contributed to this decline. Other income totaled $125,458 in the first
quarter of 1996 which compares to $289,224 in the first quarter in 1995.
The resulting decline of $163,766 was caused primarily by two items. First,
in the first quarter of 1995, Shoreline recorded $99,419 of income from
credit card activities. However, during this same quarter, Shoreline
discontinued the majority of its credit card operations.  The
discontinuance of this operation produced a decline of $90,345 in this
area. Second, Shoreline incurred losses of $61,867 from the sale of
mortgage loans in first quarter of 1996, which compares to net losses of
$9,847 during the same period in 1995.  

          Total other expense amounted to $4,639,615 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996. This represents a reduction of $104,218 or 2.2% from the
same period in 1995. A decline of $387,343 in other expense contributed to
the overall decline in overhead expense. Reduced FDIC insurance, marketing
and credit card expense produce the decline in other expense. Personnel
expense increased 7.8% or $191,077 over the first quarter of 1995.
Increased full time equivalent levels resulting in increased salary expense
was the primary contributor to the overall increase in personnel expense.
Total occupancy and equipment expense increased $92,048 or 12.6% in
comparison to the first quarter of 1995. Increased repairs and maintenance


                      -15-
expense along with increased equipment depreciation expense contributed to
this increase in expense.

          Shoreline's ratio of total other expenses to total average assets
decreased from  2.76% during the three months ended March 31, 1995 to 2.60%
in the three months ended March 31, 1996. Over the same period of time,
Shoreline's efficiency ratio has declined from 59.24% to 55.98%.  

          In summary, Shoreline's net income of $2,357,558 for the first
quarter of 1996 produced a return on average shareholders' equity of 14.45%
and a return on average assets of 1.40%.  This compares to the prior year's
ratios of 14.22% and 1.31%, respectively. Earnings per share through  March
31, 1996 were $.45 and dividends per share were $.20, which produces a
dividend payout ratio of 44.4%.  Earnings per share through March 31, 1995
were $.39 and dividends per share were $.17.
