At June 30, 1996, total loans considered impaired were $85.6 million with an average for the quarter of approximately $82.3 million. At quarter-end, the allowance for impaired loans was $12.4 million and $19.0 million, respectively. At June 30, 1997, the impaired allowance related to $21.3 million of identified impaired loans, while the remaining $47.0 million of impaired loans did not require a specific allowance for loan losses based on the requirements of Statement No. 114. NOTE 4: COMMON STOCK AND CALCULATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE At the 1997 annual meeting, shareholders approved an increase in the number of authorized common stock of the company from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000 shares. On May 30, 1997, a 3-for-2 stock split, effected in the form of a 50 percent stock dividend, was distributed to shareholders. All prior period data presented in this filing regarding the number of common shares outstanding and amounts per share have been restated to reflect the above two events. At June 30, 1997 and 1996, there were 88,140,213 and 91,477,073 common shares outstanding, respectively. At the same dates, there were 200,000,000 authorized shares of $10 par value common stock. Common and common equivalent earnings per share amounts were calculated by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the respective periods adjusted for outstanding stock options.

The contracts represent an exchange of interest payments.The underlying principal balances of the assets or liabilities are not affected. Net settlement amounts are reported as adjustments to interest income or interest expense. Gains or losses on the termination of interest rate swaps are deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the designated balance sheet liability. When the swap becomes uncovered during the swap agreement, the swap is immediately marked-to-market with a corresponding charge to current earnings. NOTE 7: COMPANY OBLIGATED MANDATORILY-REDEEMABLE NEW CAPITAL SECURITIES OF FIRST OF AMERICA CAPITAL TRUST I First of America Capital Trust I (the "Trust") was formed for the purpose of issuing capital securities and investing the proceeds from the sale of such capital securities in junior suborinated deferrable interest debentures issued by the corporation. The corporation is the owner of all of the beneficial interests of the Trust represented by common securities, the proceeds from the sale of which were also invested in the junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures issued by the corporation. On January 28, 1997, the Trust issued $4.64 million Common Securites, $150 million 8.12% Capital Securities, Series A and invested the proceeds from the sale of such securities in $154,640,000 8.12% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due January 31, 2027, Series A, issued by the corporation (the "Series A Debentures"). Pursuant to an exchange offer consummated on July 30, 1997, the Trust exchanged all of the Series A Debentures held by the Trust for $154,640,000 8.12% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due January 31, 2027, Series B, issued by the corporation (the "Series B Debentures"). The sole assets of the Trust are these Series B Debentures. Item 2.

Second quarter net income for 1997 and 1996, on an after-tax basis, included net one-time charges of $0.8 million. On a core basis, excluding one-time events for both periods, net income for the quarter would have been $74.0 million, up 17.3 percent, and earnings per share would have been $0.83, up 22.1 percent. For the year-to-date period, net income was $152.6 million, up 25.2 percent from 1996, and earnings per share were $1.70, up 30.8 percent over 1996. One-time events during the first six months of 1997 included (net of tax): gains from branch sales of $13 million, severance charges of $1.3 million, and a gain of $1.2 million on the sale of certain affinity card receivables. The 1996 year-to-date period included after tax gains from branch sales of $2.9 million. Excluding one-time events from both periods, net income would have been $143.0 million for 1997 compared with $119 million for 1996; and earnings per share would have been $1.60 and $1.27, respectively. A higher net interest margin, growing non-interest revenue, and stabilizing non-interest expense, excluding one-time charges, were the primary reasons for the stronger core results. As part of the ongoing efforts to manage capital for the benefit of the shareholders, 2.0 million shares of First of America Common Stock were repurchased this year increasing earnings per share $0.01 for the year-to-date period. Additionally In January of 1997, we privately placed $150 million of fixed rate trust preferred securities. These securities reduced our cost of capital and improved our risk based capital ratios. The net interest margin for the current year-to-date period was 4.66 percent compared with 4.44 percent for the same period a year ago and 4.67 percent for the current quarter compared to 4.49 percent a year ago. At June 30, 1997, total assets were $21.6 billion, down from $22.1 billion a year ago, mainly as a result of the continued restructuring of the balance sheet to yield a more profitable earning asset and deposit mix. Loan growth strategies for 1997 are targeted toward increasing the commercial, commercial mortgage, and home equity loan portfolios. Commercial loan and commercial mortgage balances for the second quarter of 1997 increased 3.2 percent to $6.7 billion from a year ago. Home equity loans grew 29.4 percent from a year ago. Residential mortgage and indirect consumer loans, combined, decreased $1.3 billion, or 15.3 percent, from the same period a year ago. Growth in consumer and small business deposits continue to be emphasized for 1997. Core deposits were $1.4 billion lower than a year ago as a result of branch sales completed in 1996 and 1997 and the run off experienced within certain savings and CD products. Excluding sold deposits, transaction deposits increased 3.4 percent and time deposits decreased 17.4 percent from the same period in 1996. The return on average assets for the second quarter and year-to-date period of 1997 were 1.38 percent and 1.44 percent, respectively. For the same comparable periods of 1996, the same ratios were 1.12 percent and 1.09 percent, respectively. Return on equity was 16.61 percent for the second quarter of 1997 and 14.09 percent for the same 1996 quarter. Year-to-date, the return on equity ratio was 17.32 percent for 1997 and 13.52 percent for 1996. Excluding one-time events, year-to-date return on average assets would have been 1.35 percent compared with 1.07 percent in 1996, and return on equity would have been 16.23 percent compared with 13.35 percent a year ago. At the end of 1996, we announced a restructuring effort that would focus on specific lines of business versus geographic boundaries. Since April 1997, we have been functioning organizationally as one operating unit, even though we will continue a legal charter in Illinois in addition to our Michigan charter. The Illinois charter will be retained to facilitate banking relationships with governmental entities throughout Illinois. In June 1997, we announced that we had entered into an agreement to sell our Florida operations to Barnett Banks, Inc. for approximately $160 million. We expect to realize a gain on the transaction of between $0.10 and $0.12 per share. The transaction is expected to close early in the fourth quarter of 1997. At June 30, 1997, our Florida operations had $1.2 billion in assets. CONSOLIDATED INCOME ANALYSIS Net interest income for the second quarter, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was $224.6 million, down 2.1 percent from second quarter 1996, while year-to-date net interest income was down 2.0 percent. Earning assets decreased 5.7 percent to $19.3 billion from the year ago quarter primarily because of smaller residential mortgage and consumer installment loan balances. The net interest margin was up 18 basis points to 4.67 percent from 4.49 percent a year ago. Net interest margin for the year-to-date period was also higher, at 4.66 percent compared with 4.44 percent for 1996. The improvement is a result of the balance sheet restructuring and the pricing discipline exercised with new loans and deposits, particularly in consumer indirect installment loans and residential mortgage loans. Table 3 provides detail on the average yields on earning assets and the average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities for the last six quarters. Management currently expects that earning assets will remain level or decline slightly during the remainder of 1997, although commercial loans are expected to increase. Deposits overall are also expected to decrease slightly, primarily in the CD category, while other deposit types should remain stable. The net interest margin is expected to remain level or increase slightly during the last six months of 1997 while return on equity should remain above 16 percent for 1997 and between 16 and 17 percent for 1998. The preceding statements in this paragraph are forward-looking, and First of America's actual results may differ from those currently expected. Such differences could result from a variety of factors including the potential sale of additional bank branches as well as changes in loan demand and the interest rate environment. The allowance for loan losses was $258 million at June 30 1997, compared with $249 million a year ago and $253 million at December 31, 1996. The provision for loan losses for the second quarter decreased 19.3 percent to $18.4 million from the first quarter of 1997 as a result of lower net charge-offs in the consumer installment loan portfolio. Second quarter net charge-offs in the credit card portfolio were down marginally from the first quarter. The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio at June 30, 1997, was 1.76 percent, up from 1.61 percent a year ago and 1.68 percent at year end 1996. Charge-offs and recoveries by portfolio type are detailed in Table 3. Total non-interest revenue for the quarter increased 14.9 percent from a year ago and increased 24.8 percent for the year-to-date period. The year-to-date increase is due in part to $21.7 million of branch sale gains recorded this year compared with the $4.5 million recorded during the same year-to-date period last year. Excluding the impact of branch sale gains from both periods, non-interest revenue increased 16.2 percent for the first six months of 1997 over the same period of 1996. Bank card revenue for the quarter included a $1.9 million gain from the sale of $9.4 million of consumer credit card receivables. Trust and financial services revenue for the quarter was $32.9 million, up from the $29.1 reported for the year ago quarter, and for the year-to-date period was up $9.4 million to $65.9 million. Revenues from the Trust and Financial Services Division continued to benefit from expanding insurance business and the higher market values of managed assets upon which fees are assessed. At quarter-end, total assets under management were $21.6 billion compared with $18.8 billion a year ago. Traditional trust fees were $37.1 million for the six month period, up $1.4 million from last year. Other financial services revenue, generated by cash management, investment management, brokerage and insurance services, was $28.7 million for the six month period compared with $20.7 million a year ago, benefiting from the sales and services strategies implemented in partnership with the branch employees. Insurance revenue for the same periods was $5.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively, reflecting our original and continuing commitment to this product line. Mortgage banking revenue increased 3.1 percent to $7.2 million for the quarter and was up $4.3 million to $17.5 million for the year-to-date period. The main reason for the year-to-date increase was a $4.0 million increase in total gains on mortgage loan sales, which included a $3.1 million gain on an $89 million portfolio sale. Bank card revenue for the quarter included a $1.9 million gain on the sale of $9.4 of consumer credit card receivables. If this gain is excluded from the comparisons, bank card revenue was approximately level for the quarter and year-to-date periods. We expect to record an additional gain of approximately $6.0 million on the sale of $36.0 million of credit card receivables in the third quarter. The preceding is a forward-looking statement, and First of America's actual results may differ from those currently expected. Total non-interest expense was down 1.1 percent for the quarter and 0.5 for the year-to-date period. If severance charges of $3.2 million for the quarter and $7.3 million year-to-date were excluded, non- interest expense would be down $4.1 million for the quarterly comparison and $8.1 million, or 2.0 percent, for the year-to-date comparison. Total personnel costs, excluding severance charges, were up slightly for the comparable periods, primarily due to higher sales incentives. On a core operating basis, the burden ratio was 1.69 percent versus 1.91 percent for the comparative quarters, and 1.75 percent versus 1.99 percent for the six month periods. On the same basis, the efficiency ratio was 59.37 percent for the quarter and 60.10 for the year-to-date period, which compares favorably with last year's core operating ratios of 62.04 percent and 63.09 percent, respectively. The efficiency ratio is expected to be, on an annualized basis, at or slightly below 60 percent for full year 1997. The preceding is a forward-looking statement, and First of America's actual results may differ from what has been stated. LINE OF BUSINESS RESULTS An objective of First of America's recent restructuring effort was to define specific lines of business which would cross legal entity lines and focus its management and information systems accordingly. As a result, First of America currently measures the individual performance of four business lines -- Commercial Lending, Retail Sales & Delivery, Consumer Finance & Mortgage, and Trust & Financial Services -- as well as the performance of certain product lines within those businesses. A fifth category, Corporate Investments & Funding, includes activities that are not directly attributable to any one of the four major lines of business. In developing the management accounting system for line of business reporting, certain assumptions and allocations were necessary. Equity was allocated on the basis of required regulatory levels, inherent operational risk or market-determined factors as evidenced by similar independent single business line companies. Support services which were centrally provided were allocated on a per-unit cost basis or in proportion to the balances of assets and liabilities associated with a particular business line. Funds transfer pricing was used to allocate a cost of funds used or a credit for funds provided from market- determined indices. Because of the assumptions and allocations utilized, the financial results of the individual business lines might vary from the actual results if those lines were in fact separate operating entities. For reporting purposes this quarter, Commercial Lending and Retail Sales & Delivery are combined and shown as Total Community Banking. Table 1 presents summarized income statements for the second quarter of 1997 and selected quarterly information for the past six quarters for the business lines. The results for the prior quarters have been restated to reflect this new organizational structure. Net income for each of the lines of business for the second quarter of 1997 was higher than last year except Trust & Financial Services which was down 17.0 percent due to higher non-interest expenses of $3.4 million offset by a $2.9 million increase in non-interest income. Expenses for this line of business were higher due in part to the ongoing investments we continue to make to expand new businesses within the area. Total Community Banking's net income was up 16.4 percent for the second quarter of 1997 over the same period of 1996 as a result of a $6.6 million increase in non-interest income and an $11.7 reduction in non-interest expense. Consumer Finance & Mortgage's net income increased 20.4 percent due to higher net interest income of $5.8 million.

Also reducing credit risk are First of America's conservative lending policies and loan review process. At June 30, 1997, the loan portfolio was comprised of residential mortgages (30.1 percent), consumer loans (23.4 percent), commercial mortgages (27.5 percent) and commercial loans (19.0 percent). The allowance for loan losses was 1.76 percent of total loans compared with 1.61 percent a year ago. The allowance coverage of non-performing loans was 285.04 percent compared with 236.98 percent a year ago. Non-performing loans and loans 90 days past due are detailed by portfolio in Table 6. The asset quality in the commercial loan and residential mortgage portfolios, approximately three-quarters of total loans, remains strong. Over the last two years, these portfolios have experienced minimal net charge-offs. Across the banking industry there has been a deterioration of consumer loan quality, and since mid-1995, First of America also experienced a rise in both delinquencies and net losses in its installment loan and credit card portfolios from the favorable levels previously experienced. To reverse this trend, First of America intensified its collection efforts and tightened credit controls. As a result, the consumer installment loan portfolio's net charge-offs began to stabilize in 1996 and decreased during the first six months of 1997. The consumer installment net charge-offs to average loans for the second quarter was 0.63 percent compared with 1.00 percent for the same quarter of 1996. For the managed credit card portfolio, net charge-offs to average loans was 4.73 percent and 4.35 percent, respectively. FUNDING, LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE RISK First of America continues to monitor interest rate risk, provide liquidity and moderate changes in the market value of the investment securities portfolio through a centralized funds management division. Liquidity is measured by a financial institution's ability to raise funds through deposits, borrowed funds, capital or the sale of assets. First of America relies primarily upon core deposits for its liquidity. At June 30, 1997, core deposits equalled 96.3 percent of total deposits. First of America does not issue negotiated CD's in the national money markets, and limits its level of purchased funds through corporate policy to less than ten percent of assets. The majority of negotiated CD's and purchased funds originate from the core deposit customer base, including downstream correspondents. First of America's interest rate risk policy is to minimize the effect on net income resulting from a change in interest rates through asset/liability management at all levels in the company. Each quarter an interest rate sensitivity analysis is completed for each line of business, as well as the corporation as a whole, using an asset/liability model. Additional analysis is completed and reviewed each month related to the interest rate sensitivity of the corporation. The Asset and Liability Committees, which exist within each line of business and at the corporate level, review the analysis and as necessary, take appropriate action to ensure compliance with policy and strategic objectives relating to prudent risk rate management. The difference between rate sensitive assets and liabilities, including the impact of off-balance sheet interest rate swaps, is presented in Table 7. The GAP reports' reliability in measuring the risk to income from a change in interest rates is tested through the use of simulation models. The most recent simulation models, using various interest rate shock scenarios, show that less than 4.0 percent of First of America's annual net income is at risk if interest rates were to move up or down an immediate one percent. Management has determined that these simulation models provide a more accurate measurement of the company's interest rate risk position than the GAP tables.

See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements regarding First of America and its subsidiaries use of interest rate swaps as a hedge against certain debt. Although notional amounts are often used to express the volume of these transactions, the amounts potentially subject to credit risk are much smaller. The company minimizes this risk by performing normal credit reviews of its counterparties and collateralizing its exposure when it exceeds a predetermined limit. Table 2 outlines First of America's outstanding interest rate swaps at June 30, 1997. First of America had outstanding interest rate swaps with a notional value of $80.0 million which included $50.0 million as a hedge against parent company debt and $30.0 million as a hedge against subsidiary bank debt. The outstanding swaps had a positive market value of $200 thousand. At June 30, 1996, outstanding swaps totalled $72.3 million in notional amounts with a negative market value of $656 thousand. At times First of America also utilizes interest rate caps to manage its interest rate risk. Interest rate caps are contracts that protect the holder from a rise, beyond a certain point, in interest rates or some other underlying index. The contract is based on a notional amount and a premium is paid for the right to exercise the option. First of America had no outstanding interest rate caps at June 30, 1997 or 1996. First of America had no securities classified as held to maturity at June 30, 1997 or 1996. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," securities available for sale are carried at market value which totalled $4.6 billion at June 30, 1997. Amortized book value was also $4.6 billion at quarter-end. The $9.6 million net unrealized gain in securities available for sale resulted in a corresponding, after-tax positive market value adjustment to equity of $6.2 million. At December 31, 1996, the positive market value adjustments to securities and equity from the securities available for sale portfolio were $13.0 million and $8.4 million, respectively. CAPITAL STRENGTH First of America began its share repurchase program during March 1996, continuing its capital management strategy. At June 30, 1997, 7.4 million shares of First of America Common Stock had been repurchased at a total cost of $258 million. No shares were repurchased during the second quarter. The repurchase of a remaining 1.1 million shares is currently authorized. Any shares repurchased to date and any additional repurchases under the current authorization will be used for general corporate purposes and may be available for reissuance in connection with the company's stock based compensation plans, dividend reinvestment plan or employee savings plan. In January 1997, First of America privately placed $150 million of fixed rate capital securities through the First of America Capital Trust I, a newly formed Delaware business trust, controlled by the corporation. The 8.12% Capital Securities of First of America Capital Trust I were priced at par. Cash distributions are payable semi-annually on January 31 and July 31, beginning July 31, 1997. The proceeds from the issuance were used for general corporate purposes and will further enhance the corporation's strong capital position, while reducing its cost of capital. In June 1997, we distributed a Prospectus for an offer to exchange "New Capital Securities", with substantially the same terms, for any and all of the outstanding "Old Capital Securities" relating to the above private placement. The exchange offer was made in order to satisfy obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement relating to the Old Capital Securities. The New Capital Securities were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the exchange offer. The exchange offer expired on July 23, 1997, and was fully subscribed. Total shareholders' equity of $1.8 billion at June 30, 1997, increased slightly from the $1.7 billion reported at June 30, 1996. Net earnings retained and the positive change in the market value adjustment to equity for available for sale securities since June 30, 1996, more than offset the effect of the share repurchase program. For the first six months of 1997, the change in the adjustment in the market value of such securities reduced total equity by $2.2 million. Book value per share rose to $20.15 from the $18.99 reported a year ago. First of America continues to maintain, both on a consolidated level and an affiliate basis, capital levels within the parameters of "well capitalized" as defined by regulatory guidelines. The consolidated total capital to risk adjusted assets ratio at June 30, 1997, was 14.12 percent, the tier I ratio was 10.72 percent and the tier I leverage ratio was 8.14 percent. UPDATE In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Statement No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general- purposes financial statements. Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The market adjustment for "available for sale" securities is an example of an item which would be included in comprehensive income. The Statement does not change the display of or components of present-day net income. Implementation of this Statement will not effect how banks are rated by the regulators. When regulators assess a bank's capital for safety and soundness, they ignore the impact of unrealized gains and losses on securities held for sale. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Statement No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The objective of requiring the disclosures is to provide information about the different types of business activities in which an enterprise engages and the different economic environments in which it operates to help users of financial statements. Our lines of business meet the criteria for operating segments. The current disclosure meets the basic requirements of the proposal, but further information will be disclosed in the full year 1997 Form 10-K. Management's statements of expectations for certain financial results for the remainder of 1997 and into 1998, as included in this report, are forward-looking statements. First of America's actual performance and financial results may differ from these projections as a result of a variety of factors, including but not limited to changes in the economy, assumed rates of revenue growth, expense reductions, competition and the implementation of internal business plans.
