OLD KENT FINANCIAL 'CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued (Unaudited) 
June 30, 1995

NOTE F:  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On February 1, 1995 Old Kent acquired First National Bank Corp., a bank 
holding company headquarted in Mount Clemens, Michigan.  The merger was 
effected through the exchange of 1.08125 shares of Old Kent Common Stock 
(2,636,221 total shares) for each outstanding share of First National Bank
Corp., common stock.  The merger was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.  
Accordingly, the accompanying  consolidated financial statements have been 
restated to include the financial position and results of  operations of 
First National Bank Corp. prior to the merger.


NOTE G: ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 122     

In May, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 65."  This Statement
requires recognizing as separate assets the rights to service mortgage loans
for others, however those servicing rights are acquired.  The Statement also
requires assessing the capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment
based on the fair value of those rights.  The provisions of this Statement 
shall be applied prospectively in fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1995, and earlier application is encouraged.  The corporation has adopted
the provisions of SFAS No. 122.  The adoption did not have a material impact
on the corporation's financial position or results of operations.


NOTE H: CAPITAL STOCK 

The board of directors of Old Kent Financial Corporation declared a 5% stock
dividend, payable on August 15, 1995, to shareholders of record on July 19,
1995.  Per share amounts included in this report have not been adjusted to 
reflect this dividend.


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.   The Registrant's form 10-Q for the 
quarterly period ended March 31, 1995 is herein incorporated by reference. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Registrant's net income was $37,393,000 for the second quarter of 1995 
compared to $36,853,000 for the same period in 1994. Second quarter net 
income per share for 1995 was $.86, a 1.2% increase over last year's $.85. 
Year-to-date net income was $72,096,000 compared to $69,744,000 a year ago 
and earnings per share was $1.66, a 2.5% increase over last year's $1.62.

Total assets were $11.9 billion at quarter-end compared to total assets of 
$10.9 billion at June 30, 1994.  Return on average equity for the second 
quarter of 1995 was 15.77% compared to 16.83% for the second quarter of 1994.   
Return on assets was 1.28% for the second quarter of 1995 compared to 1.38% 
for the second quarter of 1994.
  
The Registrant's net interest income for the second quarter of 1995 was 
$118.9 million, a 4.1% increase over the $114.2 million recorded in the same 
period of 1994. This increase primarily resulted from an 10.2% increase in 
average interest-earning assets.  The net interest margin of 4.43% for the 
second quarter of 1995 compared to 4.70% for the second quarter of 1994.  
The decrease in the net interest margin is primarily due to increased 
borrowing costs.

The provision for credit losses was $6.0 million for the second quarter of 
1995 and $6.5 million for the second quarter of 1994.  The allowance for 
credit losses as a percent of loans and leases outstanding was 2.34% at June 
30, 1995 and 2.65% at June 30, 1994.  Nonperforming assets as a percent of 
total loans was .71% at June 30, 1995 and 1.13% at June 30, 1994.  Net credit 
losses were $1.8 million or .10% of average loans for the second quarter of 
1995 compared to $1.7 million or .12% of average loans for the same period a 
year ago.

Total other operating income, excluding security transactions and nonrecurring 
items, increased 9.5% to $43.5 million during the second quarter of 1995 over 
the same period a year ago.  Merchant discount revenue on credit card 
transactions increased 33.7% or $1.7 million, a result of increased volume 
and improved pricing practices. Mortgage servicing revenue increased $.7 
million or 19.8% during the second quarter of 1995 over the same period a 
year ago.  This reflects an increase of $1.5 billion in the Registrant's 
third party mortgage servicing portfolio from a year ago.  Service charges on 
deposits increased 10.7% or $1.0 million, trust income decreased .9% and 
mortgage banking gains decreased $1.2 million or 32.4%.  The decrease in 
mortgage banking gains was largely influenced by the effects of a rising 
interest rate environment during the first half of 1995. 

Non-recurring income of $2.1 million includes gains on sale of other real 
estate owned of approximately $0.9 million, and recoveries of non-loan 
receivables by the Registrant's subsidiary, Vanguard  Financial Service 
Corp., of approximately $1.2 million.      


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

Total net securities losses for the second quarter of 1995 were $30,000 
compared to gains of $1,200,000 for the same period of 1994.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 1995 increased 7.2% over 
the same period of 1994.  Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased 
4.8% for the second quarter of 1995 over the second quarter of 1994.  The 
number of full-time equivalent employees decreased by 133 (2.5%) over a 
year-ago to 5,243 at June 30, 1995.  During the second quarter of 1995 
compared to the same period a year ago, equipment and net occupancy expenses 
decreased .9%, interbank credit card transaction expense increased 15.9%, 
FDIC expenses increased 9.4%, and other expenses increased 8.5%.  The 
increase in operating expenses includes the partial-period effect of EdgeMark 
Financial Corporation, acquired in May of 1994.  The FDIC anticipates 
decreasing premium rates during the last half of 1995 and if implemented, the 
Registrant would realize substantial savings in FDIC premiums.  

A nonrecurring charge of  $1.3 million was incurred during the second quarter 
of 1995.  This represents an initial charge related to a re-engineering 
program aimed at substantially reducing certain operating costs.  The 
Registrant intends to reduce personnel costs and to pursue other efficiency 
opportunities as a means of achieving enduring profitability enhancements.  
The Registrant expects to recognize additional charges of greater magnitudes 
related to its re-engineering during the last six months of 1995.  The timing 
and amounts of these anticipated future charges, as well as the ensuing 
profitability benefits are not estimable as of the filing date of this report. 
Management expects that it will develop additional information regarding the 
overall non-recurring charges associated with re-engineering certain 
operations and the anticipated benefits by December 31, 1995. 

BALANCE SHEET CHANGES

Total loans increased 9.3% or $637 million from year-end 1994.  For the first 
half of 1995,  commercial loans grew at an annualized rate of 20% or $324 
million and consumer loans grew at an annualized rate of 38% or $327 million.  
As a result of increased loan demand, securities available-for-sale (excluding 
valuation adjustment) and securities held-to-maturity, decreased $825 million 
since year-end 1994.  Other interest-earning assets increased $445 million 
since year-end 1994, to total $490 million at June 30, 1995.  Total interest-
earning assets (excluding securities available-for-sale valuation adjustment) 
increased 3.2% or $338 million from December 31, 1994.

The Registrant sold approximately $332.1 million of mortgages held-for-sale 
during the quarter. The Registrant's total mortgage servicing portfolio grew 
35% from a year ago, to a balance of $5.7 billion at June 30, 1995.  The 
increase is primarily a result of a $981 million mortgage servicing portfolio 
purchased in the second quarter of 1995.    

Total deposits decreased $3.8 million from year-end 1994.  Non-interest 
bearing deposits decreased 4.6% or $67 million and interest-bearing deposits 
increased .8% or $63 million.  Short-term borrowed funds increased 29.4% or 
$297 million from December 31, 1994.


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


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.

Subsequent to June 30, 1995, in addition to its normal recurring sales of 
mortgages held-for-sale, the Registrant intends to sell approximately $325 
million of residential mortgage loans that had been classified as a component 
of total loans on the accompanying balance sheets.  As a result of these 
sales, the Registrant expects to realize a gain of approximately $2.8 million.  
This transaction was the result of the Registrant's ongoing management of its 
liquidity.  In addition, the Registrant is contemplating the sale of 
approximately $250 million of consumer loans (collateralized by automobiles.)  
This transaction would be effected via a sale and securitization, with the 
retention of servicing rights by Old Kent.  Management expects that this 
transaction, if consumated, would be completed by September 30, 1995 and would
not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial condition or results
of operations.

At June 30, 1995, shareholders' equity was $974 million, compared to $896 
million at December 31, 1994, an increase of $78 million, or 8.7%.  Total 
equity at June 30, 1995 was reduced by an after-tax unrealized loss of $4 
million on securities available-for-sale.   Shareholders' equity as a 
percentage of total assets as of June 30, 1995 was 8.16%.  The following 
table represents the Registrant's consolidated regulatory capital position as 
of  June 30, 1995.
