Independent Auditors' Report
To the Trustees of First of America Bank
Corporation Reserve Plus Savings Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available
for benefits of First of America Bank Corporation Reserve Plus
Savings Plan as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
statements of changes in assets available for benefits for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
administrator. 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 the Plan's administrator, 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 financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available
for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
changes in assets available for benefits for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental
schedules are presented for purposes of complying with the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements. The information included in the supplemental
schedules has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

RESERVE PLUS SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
--------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Organization
The following description of the First of America Bank Corporation
Reserve Plus Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general
information. Reference should be made to the plan agreement for a
more complete description.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan established effective July
1, 1988 and was restated effective January 1, 1993, for employees
of First of America Bank Corporation (hereinafter referred to as
"the Company") under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Eligible employees are those who have at least one year of service,
and are employed on a salaried basis. Effective for plan years
beginning after December 31, 1993, the maximum eligible base
compensation level is $150,000. The Plan is subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA).
Contributions
A participant may elect to contribute no less than one percent and
not more than 15 percent of base compensation, not to exceed $9,500
into the plan during 1996. The Company may contribute discretionary
matching contributions of one-half of the participant's contribution
if the employee contributes 5% or more, not to exceed 5% of the
employee's compensation, and one-third of the participant's
contribution if the employee contributes less than 5%. All Company
matching contributions are invested in the Stock Fund, which owns
common stock of the Company, exclusively. The Company may also
make additional discretionary contributions, which will be allocated
to various investments at the Company's discretion. No discretionary
contributions were made during 1996, 1995 or 1994.
Participant Account
Each participant account is credited with the employee contribution
and the Company's matching contribution. Investment earnings are
allocated based on participant investment choices and current
market value. The maximum benefit to which a participant is
entitled is the vested portion of the participant's account.

RESERVE PLUS SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Vesting
Participants immediately vest in their voluntary contributions plus
earnings thereon. Vesting in the remainder of their accounts is
based on years of credited service. A participant is 100 percent
vested after four years of credited service.
Distributions
Upon termination of service, a participant with a vested account
balance of $3,500 (exclusive of Company common stock) or less will
receive a single lump-sum distribution equal to the vested value of
the account. A participant with a vested balance of more than
$3,500 (exclusive of Company common stock) may elect a lump-sum
distribution or deferral until age 55 (early retirement).
Except for common stock of the Company, distributions will be made
in cash. Common stock of the Company will be distributed in shares
unless there are 100 or fewer shares. If 100 or fewer shares are
involved, such shares will be converted and the distribution made
in cash.
Plan Administration and Trustee
The Company serves as the plan administrator and absorbs all or
most of the administrative costs. First of America - Michigan,
N.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, serves as trustee
for the Plan.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Generally accepted accounting principles
require the Plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

Investments
Investments are stated at fair market value as determined by quoted
market prices. Employees may invest in the following funds at
their option. The various Parkstone Mutual Funds are sponsored by
First of America Bank Corporation.
. Money Market Fund - invests in the Parkstone U.S. Government
obligations Fund, which invests in short-term fixed income
securities, such as the Treasury bills or notes issued or
backed by the U.S. Government or its agencies. From time to
time, the Money market investment option may also include
relatively low risk assets transferred from a prior plan of an
affiliate, such as guaranteed investment contracts.
. Balanced Fund - invests in the Parkstone Balanced Allocation
Fund, which invests in a mix of stocks and bonds at the
discretion of the administrator based on market conditions.
. Mid Cap Fund - invests in the Parkstone Mid-Capitalization
Fund (formerly Parkstone Equity Fund), which invests at least
80 percent of the value of its total assets in common stock
and securities convertible into common stock of "blue-chip" -
type companies with sound management and the ability to
finance expected growth. In addition, this fund may also
invest up to 20 percent of the value of its total assets in
preferred stocks, corporate bonds, notes, warrants, and other
short-term obligations with maturities of 18 months or less.
. Small Capitalization Fund - invests in the Parkstone Small
Capitalization Fund, which invests primarily in common stocks
of small- to medium-sized companies to provide growth of
capital.
. International Fund - invests in the Parkstone International
Discovery Fund, which invests primarily in common stock of
small- to medium-sized foreign companies.
. Stock Fund - invests entirely in shares of First of America
Bank Corporation common stock. Stock purchases and sales are
made daily in the open market.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
(3) Transfers from Other Plans
Amounts from plans of institutions subsequently acquired are
transferred into the Plan upon acquisition.
(4) Funding and Termination
The Company deposits all contributions bi-weekly. Although the
Company has not expressed any intent to terminate the plan
agreement, it may do so at any time, subject to the provisions of
ERISA. In the event of termination, the participants will become
100 percent vested in their accounts.
(5) Reconciliation to Form 5500
The financial information provided on Line 31g of the Plan's Form
5500 includes an accrual for benefits payable to participants.
This accrual was $1,483,205 and $972,616 for 1996 and 1995,
respectively. In accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, this liability is not presented separately from assets
available for plan benefits in the accompanying financial
statements.
(6) Tax-Exempt Status
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the
trustee of the Plan by a letter dated May 18, 1995, that the Plan
and the trust established under the Plan are qualified as tax-
exempt, under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The
plan administrator and its qualified tax counsel do not anticipate
that changes in the Plan after the date of the amendments covered
by the Internal Revenue Service determination letter will affect
the qualified and tax-exempt status of the Plan and trust,
respectively.
