PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS OF FIRST OF AMERICA BANK CORPORATION

General

First of America Bank Corporation (herein after referred to as First of
America or the Registrant) is a multi-bank holding company headquartered in
Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Registrant was incorporated as a Michigan corporation
in May 1971. Its principal activity consists of owning and supervising twenty
affiliate financial institutions which operate general, commercial banking
businesses from 572 banking offices and facilities located in Michigan, Indiana,
and Illinois. The Registrant also has divisions and non-banking subsidiaries
which provide mortgage, trust, data processing, pension consulting, revolving
credit, discount securities brokerage and investment advisory services. At
December 31, 1993, the Registrant had assets of $21.2 billion, deposits of $18.2
billion and shareholders' equity of $1.5 billion.

The Registrant has responsibility for the overall conduct, direction and
performance of its affiliates. The Registrant establishes direction and policies
for the entire organization and monitors compliance with these policies. The
Registrant provides capital funds to affiliates as required and assists
affiliates in asset and liability management, marketing, planning, accounting,
tax, internal audit, loan review, and human resource management of its 13,330
full time equivalent employees. The operational responsibilities of each
affiliate rest with its officers and directors. The Registrant derives its
income principally from dividends upstreamed from its subsidiaries and fees paid
for management services provided to its subsidiaries.

Subsidiary Banks

As of December 31, 1993, the Registrant had three wholly owned subsidiaries,
First of America Bank - Southeast Michigan, N.A., First of America
Bank - Michigan, N.A., and First of America Bank - Security which met the
conditions for "significant subsidiary." First of America Bank - Southeast
Michigan, N.A., is a general commercial bank based in Detroit, Michigan, and at
December 31, 1993, had $4.0 billion in assets and $3.5 billion in deposits.
First of America Bank - Michigan, N.A., is a general commercial bank based in
Kalamazoo, Michigan, and at December 31, 1993, had $1.4 billion in assets and
$1.2 billion in deposits. First of America Bank - Security is a general
commercial bank based in Southgate, Michigan, and at December 31, 1993, had $2.0
billion in assets and $1.7 billion in deposits. Similar to all of the
Registrant's banking subsidiaries, these subsidiaries offer a broad range of
lending, depository and related financial services to individual, commercial,
industrial, financial, and governmental customers, including demand, savings and
time deposits, secured and unsecured loans, lease financing, letters of credit,
money transfers, corporate and personal trust services, cash management, and
other financial services.

No material part of the business of the Registrant and its subsidiaries is
dependent upon a single customer, or a very few customers, where the loss of any
one would have a materially adverse effect on the Registrant.

Non-Banking Subsidiaries

First of America Mortgage Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Registrant headquartered in Kalamazoo, Michigan. First of America Mortgage
Company engages in the servicing of both commercial and residential real estate
loans for institutional investors and certain affiliates of the Registrant and
secondary market sales and loan originations. FOA Mortgage Company is a wholly
owned subsidiary of First of America Mortgage Company and provides mortgage
origination and servicing and secondary market sales.

First of America Insurance Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Registrant. The insurance company reinsures credit life and disability insurance
provided by an unaffiliated insurer for customers of the Registrant's
affiliates.

First of America Brokerage Service, Inc., is a wholly owned subsidiary of
First of America Bank - Michigan, N.A. It is a registered broker-dealer and
provides securities brokerage services through a clearing broker to customers of
the Registrant's affiliate banks and others.

First of America Investment Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of First
of America Bank - Michigan, N.A. First of America Investment Corporation is a
registered investment adviser which provides comprehensive investment advisory
services to the trust division of the Registrant and to individual and
institutional investors. It also serves as investment adviser for The Parkstone
Group of Funds, a family of mutual funds.

First of America Trust Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Registrant. It provides trust services to customers of the Registrant's Illinois
affiliates.

First of America Community Development Corporation is a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Registrant. It invests in qualifying businesses or housing
projects, as allowed by federal law, to address the needs of low to moderate
income neighborhoods.

COMPETITION

Banking and related financial services are highly competitive businesses and
have become increasingly so during the past few years. The banking subsidiaries
of the Registrant compete primarily with other banks and savings and loan
associations for loans, deposits and trust accounts. They are also faced with
increasing competition from other financial intermediaries including consumer
finance companies, leasing companies, credit unions, retailers and investment
banking firms.

Technological changes have resulted in computer and communication
applications intended to meet the needs of First of America's business and
consumer customers in a convenient, efficient and reliable manner. Affiliate
banks of the Registrant have 387 automated teller machines (ATM's) located on
bank premises to handle banking transactions 24 hours per day and 144
off-premise terminals located in high volume retail and service locations.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

The Registrant and its subsidiary banks are subject to supervision,
regulation and periodic examination by various federal and state banking
regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
Board (the "FRB"), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"),
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), the Office of Thrift
Supervision (the "OTS"), the Illinois Commissioner of Banks and Trust Companies
(the "Illinois Commissioner"), the Michigan Financial Institutions Bureau (the
"Michigan FIB") and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (the
"Indiana DFI").

The following is a summary of certain statutes and regulations affecting
First of America and its affiliate financial institutions. This summary is
qualified in its entirety by such statutes and regulations, which are subject to
change based on pending and future legislation and action by regulatory
agencies.

Bank Holding Companies. As a bank holding company, First of America is
subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended
(the "BHCA") and by the FRB. Among other things, the BHCA and the FRB impose
requirements for the maintenance of capital adequate to support a bank holding
company's operations. The BHCA also restricts the geographic and product range
of bank holding companies by circumscribing the types and locations of
institutions which bank holding companies may own or acquire. The BHCA limits
bank holding companies to owning and managing banks or companies engaged in
activities determined by the FRB to be closely related to banking. The BHCA
requires bank holding companies to obtain the prior approval of the FRB before
acquiring substantially all the assets of any bank or bank holding company or
direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of
a bank or bank holding company. Bank holding companies are also prohibited from
acquiring shares of any bank located outside the state in which the operations
of the bank holding company's banking subsidiaries are primarily conducted
unless the acquisition is specifically authorized by statute of the state of the
bank whose shares are to be acquired.

Under a Michigan statute applicable to First of America, a Michigan bank
holding company may acquire a bank located in any state in the United States if
the laws of the other state permit ownership of banks located in that state by a
Michigan bank holding company. Under the same Michigan statute, a Michigan bank
or bank holding company may be acquired by a bank holding company located in any
state in the United States, subject to approval of the Michigan FIB and the
existence of a reciprocal law in such other state.

Savings and Loan Holding Companies. Its acquisition of thrift institutions
subjects First of America to regulation as a savings and loan holding company by
the OTS. A savings and loan holding company that is also a bank holding company
may engage only in activities permissible for a bank holding company, and may,
in certain circumstances, be required to obtain approval from the OTS, as well
as the FRB, before acquiring new subsidiaries or commencing new business
activities. Further, a savings and loan holding company's acquisitions of
savings associations and other savings and loan holding companies are subject to
prior approval by the OTS comparable to the extent to which bank holding company
acquisitions of banks and other bank holding companies are subject to the prior
approval of the FRB.

Banks. First of America's affiliate banks are subject to regulation,
supervision and periodic examination by the bank regulatory agency of the state
under the laws of which the affiliate bank is chartered or, in the case of
national banks, the OCC. Additionally, certain of First of America affiliate
state banks and all of its affiliate national banks are members of the Federal
Reserve System, and as such are subject to applicable provisions of the Federal
Reserve Act and regulations thereunder. These regulations relate to reserves and
other aspects of banking operations. First of America's affiliate state banks
that are not members of the Federal Reserve Systems are subject to federal
regulation, supervision and examination by the FDIC. Deposits held by all
affiliate banks of First of America are insured, to the extent permitted by law,
by the FDIC. Applicable federal and state law govern, among other things, the
scope of First of America's affiliate banks' businesses, maintenance of adequate
capital, investments and loans they may make, transactions with affiliates and
their activities with respect to mergers and establishing branches.

3
4

Savings Associations. First of America may from time to time acquire and
operate federally chartered savings associations subject to regulation,
supervision and regular examination by the OTS. Federal law governs, among other
things, the scope of the savings association's business, required reserves
against deposits, the investments and loans the savings association may make,
and transactions with the savings association's affiliates. Deposits held by
such savings associations are insured, to the extent permitted by law, by the
FDIC.

Non-banking Subsidiaries. First of America has non-banking subsidiaries that
are a broker-dealer and an investment adviser, each registered and subject to
regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission under federal securities
laws. These subsidiaries are also subject to regulation under various state
securities laws. Because they are affiliated with First of America's subsidiary
banks, these subsidiaries are subject to certain limitations on their securities
activities imposed by federal banking laws.

Economic Conditions and Governmental Policy. First of America's earnings are
affected not only by the extensive regulation described above, but also by
general economic conditions. These economic conditions influence and are
influenced by the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government
and its various agencies, particularly the FRB. The Registrant cannot predict
changes in monetary policies or their impact on its operations and earnings.

STATISTICAL DATA

The statistical data as required is presented with "Item 7. Management's
Discussion and Analysis" and in certain of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements and Supplemental Data included with "Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data" appearing later in this document.

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT

The executive officers of the Registrant, their ages and their positions for
the last five years are shown in the following table. There are no family
relationships between the executive officers or between the executive officers
and the Registrant's directors.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Registrant is headquartered in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

The Registrant's subsidiaries operate a total of 572 offices of which 435 are
owned by the respective banks, 108 are leased, 20 are owned by the subsidiary
involved but on leased land, and 9 are owned by the banks involved, with leased
parking lots. Reference is made to Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included under "Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data" included later in this document for further information
regarding the terms of these leases. All of these offices are considered by
management to be well maintained and adequate for the purpose intended.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The subsidiaries of the Registrant are routinely engaged in litigation, both
as plaintiff and defendant, which is incident to their business, and in certain
proceedings, claims or counter-claims have been asserted against the
Registrant's subsidiaries. Management, after consultation with legal counsel,
does not currently anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out
of such litigation and threats of litigation will have a material effect on the
financial position of the Registrant.

(PRPs) for environmental contamination on or emanating from the properties. The
costs of remediating the contamination cannot be determined at this time. While,
as PRPs, these subsidiaries may be jointly and severally liable for the costs of
remediating the contamination, in most cases, there are a number of other PRPs
who may also be jointly and severally liable for remediation costs.
Additionally, in certain cases, these subsidiaries have asserted statutory
defenses to liability for remediation costs based on the subsidiaries' status as
lending institutions that acquired ownership of the contaminated property
through foreclosure. First of America's management, after consultation with
legal counsel, does not currently anticipate that the ultimate liability, if
any, arising from these matters will have a material effect on First of
America's financial position.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the
three months ended December 31, 1993.

First of America continued to expand selected areas during 1993 through the
acquisition process. On August 16th, First of America acquired five Pioneer
Mortgage Company origination offices bringing the total origination offices to
18 and expanding its presence into North Carolina. Additionally, First of
America continued to increase its presence in Illinois with the acquisition of
Kewanee Investing Company, Inc. and 14 Illinois branches of Citizens Federal
Bank which added $498 million in deposits to the balance sheet. First of America
also announced the pending acquisition of LGF Bancorp, Inc. and its principal
subsidiary, La Grange Federal Savings and Loan Association with $410 million in
assets at December 31, 1993. Note 3 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements provides additional information about the pending acquisition of LGF
Bancorp, Inc.

1993 Highlights

Reported net income was $247.4 million, an increase of 67.7 percent from
1992's $147.5 million, and fully diluted earnings per share were $4.14 compared
with $2.46 a year ago. The prior year's results were reduced by three
substantial nonrecurring charges -- adoption of Financial Accounting Statement
No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions"
($22.0 million), one-time Security Bancorp merger and assimilation costs ($23.9
million), and an intangible asset writedown ($25.9 million). Compared with 1992
results from ongoing operations, which excludes these one-time charges, net
income and fully diluted earnings per share for 1993 increased 12.8 percent and
12.5 percent, respectively. Reported net income for 1991 was $159.5 million, or
$2.69 per fully diluted share.

Also showing improvement, return on average assets for 1993 was 1.20 percent
versus 0.75 percent in 1992 and 0.95 percent in 1991. Return on average total
shareholders' equity for the same periods was 17.50 percent, 11.38 percent and
13.07 percent, respectively. Both of 1993's ratios exceeded 1992's ongoing
operating ratios of 1.12 percent return on average assets and 16.42 percent
return on total equity.

The final assimilation of Champion Federal into nine Illinois affiliate banks
occurred on July 1, 1993, paving the way for added market development and cost
efficiencies in the company's Illinois franchise.

First of America's asset quality measurements showed improvement in 1993 as
non-performing assets as a percent of total assets decreased to 0.86 percent
versus the 0.97 percent reported at year-end 1992 and 0.87 percent at year-end
1991. Net charge-offs as a percent of average loans also improved to 0.53
percent versus 0.57 percent for 1992, another indicator of First of America's
strong asset quality. Net charge-offs as a percent of average loans was 0.53
percent for 1991.

Total assets were $21.2 billion at December 31, 1993, a 5.4 percent increase
over the $20.1 billion reported at December 31, 1992, while total loans, for the
same periods, increased 4.6 percent to $14.4 billion. The increase in loans was
primarily the result of an 18.0 percent increase in total consumer loans. These
loans, which include credit cards, indirect installment, direct installment and
other revolving credit, accounted for $5.1 billion or 35 percent of the total
loan portfolio. The commercial loan portfolio experienced only a 0.6 percent
increase from year-end 1992.

Total shareholders' equity increased 14.1 percent to $1.5 billion at year-end
1993. The increase over the $1.3 billion reported for December 31, 1992 resulted
from the retention of earnings and a $31.5 million mark-to-market adjustment to
equity, net of tax, due to the adoption at year-end of Financial Accounting
Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities." Statement No. 115 is discussed later in this document under the
heading of Funding, Liquidity and Interest Rate Risk and in Notes 1 and 6 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Book value per fully diluted share
was $25.60 compared with $22.49 and $21.47 for year-ends 1992 and 1991.

The Board of Directors increased the cash dividend paid per common share in
May to $1.60, on an annualized basis, a 14.3 percent increase. This increase
represents the largest percentage increase since 1986 and indicates the Board's
continued confidence in the current and future profitability of First of
America.

Income Analysis

Net Interest Income -- Net interest income is the primary source of income
for First of America, accounting for 76 percent of total revenue. For 1993 net
interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis (FTE) was $925.1 million, up
2.8 percent from $899.9 million in 1992. The 1993 increase was largely the
result of a 5.4 percent increase in average earning assets, offset by the lower
net interest margin of 4.86 percent versus 4.98 percent for 1992. For the 1992
comparison with 1991, net interest income (FTE) increased 15.4 percent due to
the addition of Champion Federal's earning assets at December 31, 1991.

Loans as a percent of earning assets for 1993 and 1992 were 73.5 percent and
74.1 percent, respectively. The deposits acquired with Citizens Federal's 14
Illinois offices were assumed without accompanying loans; this was the main
reason for this ratio's decrease in 1993. As these deposits are used to fund
loans, the ratio of loans to deposits should return to a higher level and add to
the company's net interest income.

Net interest income, average balance sheet amounts and the corresponding
yields and costs for the years 1989 through 1993 are shown in Table IV. Table
III presents a summary of the changes in net interest income resulting from
changes in volumes and rates for 1993 and 1992.

Net Interest Margin -- The net interest margin for 1993 was 4.86 percent
compared with 4.98 percent in 1992 and 5.07 percent in 1991. While the prime
rate remained constant throughout 1993, yields on earning assets declined at a
faster pace than did the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities (92 basis
points versus 87 basis points). The reduction in earning asset yields was due to
accelerated prepayments of residential mortgages and collateralized mortgage
obligations. Also affecting the 1993 margin was an internal investment strategy,
involving borrowing short-term money to purchase short-term securities, which
added to earnings but reduced the net interest margin by approximately 3 basis
points, and the August 26, 1993 acquisition of Citizens Federal adding $498
million of higher priced deposits with no offsetting earning assets, which also
reduced 1993's margin by approximately 3 basis points. During 1992 the earning
asset yields decreased 120 basis points while rates paid on interest bearing
liabilities decreased at a faster pace (132 basis points). The decrease in the
1992 net interest margin from 1991 was the result of the acquisition of Champion
Federal's higher rate thrift deposits at year-end 1991. This acquisition reduced
1992's margin by approximately 34 basis points but was partially offset by
strong net interest margins at First of America's bank affiliates.

Provision for Loan Losses -- The provision for loan losses is based on the
current level of net charge-offs and management's assessment of the credit risk
inherent in the loan portfolio. For 1993, the provision for loan losses was
increased 7.5 percent to $84.7 million from $78.8 million in 1992 to keep pace
with growth in the total loan portfolio, particularly consumer loans which
historically have a higher charge-off ratio than other portfolios. However, net
charge-offs for 1993 decreased 4.7 percent compared with 1992 contributing to
the higher allowance as a percent of gross loans ratio of 1.31 percent from the
1.29 percent reported at December 31, 1992. The 1991 provision was $71.0
million. Additional information on the provision for loan losses, net
charge-offs and non-performing assets is provided in Tables IX and XI and under
the caption, "Credit Risk Profile," presented later in this discussion.

Non-interest Income -- Non-interest income continued its double digit growth
pattern in 1993 as First of America maintained its emphasis on cross sell
strategies for products throughout its extensive branch network. Non-interest
income increased 11.8 percent to $292.2 million in 1993 compared with $261.3
million in 1992 and $209.9 million in 1991. Non-interest income which has grown
at an average compounded rate of 14.3 percent over the last five years, now
represents 24.0 percent of total revenue (net interest income (FTE) plus
non-interest income) versus 22.5 percent for 1989. Table V presents the major
components of non-interest income from 1989 to 1993.

The two largest components of First of America's non-interest income are
service charges on deposit accounts and income from trust and financial
services. Service charges on deposit accounts increased 6.4 percent in 1993 to
$84.6 million compared with $79.5 million in 1992 and $70.3 million in 1991.

The Trust and Financial Services Division provides First of America's
customers with quality traditional trust services, brokerage services,
investment advisory services, farm management and administration for pension and
profit-sharing plans. At year-end 1993, total trust assets held in personal
trust accounts, employee benefit plans, retail accounts and others exceeded
$12.6 billion. Total income from trust and financial services was $77.3 million
in 1993, $68.9 million in 1992 and $60.9 million in 1991. The primary component
of total trust income, traditional trust income, increased 10.8 percent in 1993
to $56.7 million compared with $51.1 million in 1992 and $47.7 million in 1991.

First of America's Trust and Financial Services Division expanded its
income-producing capabilities in 1993. As part of its current marketing efforts,
First of America increased its sales force including the placement of financial
service consultants in its mortgage origination offices in Missouri, Arizona,
Florida and North Carolina to cross-sell its investment products. Revenue from
other financial services showed continued growth in 1993, increasing 16.4
percent to $20.6 million versus $17.7 million and $13.2 million in 1992 and
1991, respectively. This business activity has maintained double digit growth in
revenue due to the increased sales efforts, the growing number of products
available to customers and the consumers' increased interest in alternative
investment vehicles. Retail sales of The Parkstone Group of Mutual Funds more
than doubled in 1993 to $247 million versus $107 million in 1992.

Investment securities gains increased slightly over 1992, adding $0.18 per
fully diluted share to 1993 earnings per share versus $0.17 per fully diluted
share in 1992. The total net gain from such sales in 1993 was $16.8 million
compared with $15.0 million in 1992 and $1.1 million in 1991. At year-end 1993,
total unrealized gains of $53.2 million and total unrealized losses of $4.4
million remained in the Securities Available for Sale portfolio.

Other non-interest income totaled $113.5 million in 1993, versus $98.0
million in 1992 and $77.6 million in 1991. The most significant components of
other non-interest income, retail credit fees and mortgage banking revenue,
increased 10.3 percent and 93.3 percent, respectively, for the year over year
comparisons.

Largely attributable to growth in the credit card portfolio, credit card fees
for 1993 increased to $40.0 million compared with $36.2 million and $32.5
million in 1992 and 1991, respectively. The credit card portfolio reached $1.2
billion at year-end 1993, compared with $1.0 billion last year. Contributing to
this increase were credit card solicitation campaigns to selected local and
national customers which added over 300,000 accounts during 1993. First of
America's cost to acquire a new account is $22, approximately one-half the
quoted rate of its competitors. The cost to efficiently service the credit card
portfolio of approximately $34 per account compares favorably with an industry
peer average of approximately $48 per account.

First of America's mortgage banking revenue contributed 13.2 percent of total
fee-based income recorded in 1993 versus 7.7 percent in 1992. Gains on the sale
of loans, the largest component of 1993's mortgage banking revenue, totalled
$29.5 million compared to $15.2 million in 1992 and $5.2 million in 1991. The
other source of mortgage banking revenue, mortgage servicing, has also continued
to rise, increasing 93.3 percent to $7.0 million in 1993 versus 1992's $3.6
million and the $2.4 million reported in 1991. Reducing the 1993 and 1992
mortgage servicing income were $0.5 million and $3.3 million in excess mortgage
servicing rights, respectively, written-off due to the decline in residential
mortgage rates and the resulting higher mortgage prepayment rate.

First of America originated $3.0 billion in new residential mortgage loans in
1993, a large portion of which were sold to the secondary market contributing to
the record gains recorded in 1993. As the surge of mortgage refinancings
diminishes, gains from the sale of new mortgage loans will level off; when that
occurs, servicing fees from the previously sold loans will continue to provide a
steady revenue stream. Servicing was retained on substantially all of the loans
sold to the secondary market during 1993 resulting in a total servicing
portfolio of $6.3 billion at year-end versus $6.1 billion a year ago. The
outstanding servicing portfolio has an average interest rate of 7.80 percent and
an average original term of 19.2 years.

Non-interest expense -- As detailed in Table V, non-interest expense was
$763.5 million in 1993, a decrease of 4.1 percent over 1992's $796.3 million.
The total expense for 1992 was affected by two major items: $29.5 million
(pre-tax) of one-time charges for the merger and assimilation of Security and
the $25.9 million intangible asset writedown. Excluding these amounts, total
non-interest expense increased 3.1 percent in 1993 over 1992.

The largest component of First of America's non-interest expense is personnel
costs which were $403.1 million in 1993 versus $410.9 million in 1992 and $361.2
million in 1991. Included in the 1992 total were $12.2 million in one-time costs
related to the Security merger for severance costs, employment contract expenses
and early retirements. Personnel costs were up only 1.1 percent for 1993 over
1992 when adjusted for these one-time costs. Net income from ongoing operations
per full time equivalent employee was $18,558 in 1993 versus $16,947 in 1992,
demonstrating the benefit of First of America's program of functional
consolidations and staff reductions.

Net occupancy and equipment costs decreased 9.9 percent in 1993 to $108.5
million compared with $120.4 million in 1992 and $101.9 million in 1991. The
1992 total included $6.2 million in one-time costs for the write-off of
duplicative fixed assets as a result of the Security acquisition. Without these
one-time costs, the 1993 decrease was 5.1 percent, primarily the result of the
assimilation of operating sites acquired with Champion Federal and Security.

Other operating expenses, which included all other costs of doing business
such as outside data processing, advertising, supplies, travel, telephone,
professional fees and outside services purchased, were $203.4 million in 1993,
up 8.2 percent from 1992's total of $188.0 million. One-time costs of $11.2
million related to the Security acquisition were included in the 1992 total.
Excluding those costs, the 1993 percent increase would have been 15.0 percent.
Increased advertising expense due to the national credit card solicitations and
increased loan and collection

expense due to growth in the consumer portfolio were two of the larger
contributors to this growth, increasing $8.1 million, or 56.5 percent, and $2.7
million, or 31.0 percent, respectively.

Efficiency ratio -- The efficiency ratio
measures non-interest expense as a percent
of the sum of net interest income (FTE) and
non-interest income. The lower the ratio,
the more efficiently a company's resources [EFFICIENCY RATIO GRAPH]
produce revenues. Table V presents the
efficiency ratio over the last five years.
Excluding the 1992 one-time charges for the
Security acquisition and the $25.9 million
writedown of intangible assets, the 1993
efficiency ratio improved to 62.72 percent
compared with 63.80 percent in 1992 and 67.25
percent in 1991. The growth in non-interest
income, which outpaced the growth in non-
interest expense, and the cost controls
mentioned previously are responsible for
the improvement in this ratio.

Income tax expense -- Income tax expense
was $98.6 million in 1993 compared with
$91.5 million in 1992 and $64.6 million in
1991. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
of 1993 was passed in August 1993, increasing
First of America's federal income tax rate
to 35 percent effective January 1, 1993. The
effect of the change from the previous 34
percent is included in the 1993 financial
statements as a current charge to earnings
and added $3.1 million of income tax expense
for the full year. However, the new Act also
resulted in $2.9 million of additional tax
benefits. In addition, the results for 1993,
included income tax benefits of $5.6 million
related to the acquisition of Champion Federal,
that helped offset the increased federal
income tax rate. A summary of significant tax
components is provided in Note 19 of the Notes The lower the ratio, the

banking means that loans are made in local markets
to consumers and small to mid-sized businesses
from deposits gathered in the same market. Also
in keeping with this philosophy, loans with few
exceptions are limited to a total of $20 million
for any one borrower or group of related borrowers.
A centralized, independent loan review staff
evaluates each affiliate's loan portfolio on a
regular basis and shares its evaluation with
bank management as well as corporate senior
management.

First of America's loan portfolio has shifted to include more consumer loans
than other types. At year-end 1993, the portfolio was distributed among
commercial loans (14.9 percent), commercial mortgages (20.2 percent),
residential mortgages (29.7 percent) and consumer loans (35.2 percent). The
total loan portfolio, as presented in Table VII, was $14.4 billion at year-end
1993, up 4.6 percent from $13.8 billion a year ago.

Commercial and Commercial Mortgage Loans -- First of America's commercial and
commercial mortgage loans are made in local markets to small to mid-sized
businesses. No single industry accounted for more than 10 percent of the total
commercial loan portfolio, including mortgages and construction loans.
Investor/developer loans, made to serve local markets, totaled $1.4 billion at
year-end 1993 and were spread among such diverse property types as retail,
residential rental, office rental and industrial. First of America has no
foreign loans, no highly leveraged transactions and no syndicated purchase
participations. Approximately 36.4 percent of total commercial loans, including
commercial mortgages and construction loans, were made to customers in the
metropolitan areas of Detroit, Grand Rapids and Indianapolis, compared with 37.4
percent a year ago. The remainder of the commercial portfolio was spread among
suburban and rural communities throughout Michigan (31.3 percent), Illinois
(31.1 percent) and Indiana (1.2 percent). Maturity and rate sensitivity of
selected loan categories is presented in Table VIII.

Included in the commercial loan and commercial mortgage portfolio at year-end
1993 was $114.1 million in non-performing loans compared with $124.6 million at
the end of 1992. First of America's loan policies and procedures seek to
minimize credit risk in the commercial portfolio. Cash-flow lending procedures
emphasize the earning ability of the business instead of sole dependence on the
collateral value which is dependent upon many variables. Net charge-offs as a
percent of average commercial and commercial mortgage loans were 0.36 percent in
1993 and 0.47 percent in 1992, as the continuing economic recovery was reflected
in reduced net loss experience.

Residential Mortgage Loans -- Residential mortgage loans were $4.3 billion at
year-end 1993 and $4.4 billion at year-end 1992. The average balance outstanding
on First of America's residential mortgages at year-end 1993 was $48,000 per
loan. The asset quality of the residential mortgage loan portfolio remained
excellent. Non-performing loans as a percent of total residential mortgages were
0.40 percent at year-end 1993 compared with 0.48 percent a year ago. Net
charge-offs as a percent of average residential mortgage loans were 0.03 percent
and 0.02 percent in 1993 and 1992, respectively.

At December 31, 1993, residential mortgage loans held for sale, originated at
prevailing market rates, totalled $365.9 million with a market value of $368.8
million. These residential mortgages are closed and therefore included in
outstandings on the balance sheet.

In addition, First of America has entered into commitments to originate
residential mortgage loans, at prevailing market rates, totalling $260.7 million
of which all are intended for sale. Mandatory commitments to deliver mortgage
loans or mortgage backed securities to investors, at prevailing market rates,
totalled $373.3 million as of December 31, 1993. Additionally, approximately $16
million of put options were in existence at December 31, 1993 as a hedge against
interest rate risk.

Consumer Loans -- First of America's consumer loan portfolio was $5.1 billion
at the end of 1993, compared with $4.3 billion at year-end 1992. Growth in this
portfolio versus a year ago was across the board as direct consumer installment
loans increased 16.8 percent, indirect consumer installment loans increased 20.1
percent and credit cards increased 18.5 percent. At year-end 1993, the number of
credit card holders increased to 1.9 million and other revolving accounts
totalled 0.2 million.

The growth in the consumer portfolio was not achieved at the expense of
reduced credit quality. In accordance with corporate policy, all revolving loans
are charged off when they become 120 days past due. During 1993, net charge-offs
as a percent of average total consumer loans were 1.18 percent versus 1.29
percent in 1992 and 1.50 percent in 1991.

Other loans of concern which represent loans where known information about
possible credit problems of borrowers causes management concern about the
ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan terms totaled $53.2
million at year-end 1993, an increase of 41.3 percent from 1992's year-end total
of $37.7 million. While management has identified these loans as requiring
additional monitoring, they do not necessarily represent future non-performing
loans.

Net charge-offs as a percent of average loans was 0.53 percent for 1993, 0.57
percent for 1992 and 0.53 percent for 1991. Over the last five years, First of
America's net charge-offs as a percent of average loans has averaged 0.53
percent which compares favorably to the 0.64 percent experienced by its Peer
Group. The Peer Group's net charge-offs as a percent of average loans for 1993
was 0.51 percent.

The allowance for loan losses is determined by management, taking into
consideration past charge-off experience, estimated loss exposure on specific
loans and the current and projected economic climate. Quarterly each affiliate
evaluates the adequacy of its allowance for loan loss and their recommendations
are reviewed by corporate loan review management. Management's allocation of the
allowance for loan losses over the last five years is presented in Table X. The
amounts indicated for each loan type include amounts allocated for specific
loans as well as a general allocation.

18

The allowance coverage of non-performing loans at year-end 1993 was 143
percent compared with 120 percent at year-end 1992 and 131 percent at year-end
1991. It was management's determination that the level of the allowance was
adequate to absorb potential loan losses. Other ratios measuring asset quality
and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses are presented in Table XI.

Funding, Liquidity and Interest Rate Risk

Liquidity is measured by a financial institution's ability to raise funds
through deposits, borrowed funds, capital or the sale of assets. Funding is
achieved through growth in core deposits and accessibility to the money and
capital markets.

Deposits -- First of America's primary source of funding is its core deposits
which include all but negotiated certificates of deposit. As a percent of total
deposits, core deposits were 95.6 percent at year-end 1993 and 95.8 percent at
year-end 1992. First of America does not issue negotiated CD's in the national
money markets, and the level of purchased funds is strictly limited by corporate
policy to less than 10 percent of assets. The majority of negotiated CD's and
purchased funds originate from the core deposit customer base, including
downstream correspondents.

The average deposit balances outstanding and the rates paid on those deposits
for the three years ended December 31, 1993, are presented in Table XII. The
maturity distribution of time deposits of $100,000 or more at year-end 1993 is
detailed in Table XIII.

In addition to deposits, First of America's sources of funding include money
market borrowings, capital funds and long term debt. First of America has an
effective shelf registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 on file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission allowing it to publicly issue, on a
continuous or delayed basis, any combination of debt securities, preferred stock
and/or common stock up to a maximum offering price of $500 million. In addition,
First of America has in place a revolving credit agreement with various lender
banks to borrow up to $100 million. First of America also upstreams dividends
from its affiliates as another means of funding. The total dividends upstreamed
from First of America's bank subsidiaries to the parent company were $200.7
million in 1993, $137.4 million in 1992 and $177.7 million in 1991. The
dividends paid from subsidiaries met all regulatory requirements.

Interest Rate Risk -- 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 banking
affiliate completes an interest rate analysis every month using an
asset/liability model, and a consolidated analysis is then completed using the
affiliates' data. The Asset and Liability Committees, which exist at each
banking affiliate and at the consolidated level, review the analysis and as
necessary, appropriate action is taken to maintain the net interest spread, even
in periods of rapid interest rate movement.

Interest rate swap transactions generally involve the exchange of fixed and
floating rate interest payment obligations without the exchange of the
underlying financial instrument. The company becomes a principal in the exchange
of interest payments with other parties and, therefore, is exposed to the loss
of future interest payments should the counterparty default. The company
minimizes this risk by performing normal credit reviews of its counterparties
and collateralizing its exposure when it exceeds a predetermined limit. First of
America had outstanding interest rate swap agreements at December 31, 1993,
totalling $291.6 million in notional amounts. This total included notional
amounts of $125 million as a hedge against long term debt and the remainder as a
hedge against certain deposits. First of America had no outstanding interest
rate swap agreements at December 31, 1992.

Interest rate sensitivity of assets and liabilities is represented in a Gap
report, Gap being the difference between rate sensitive assets and liabilities.
Table XVI presents First of America's Gap position at December 31, 1993, for one
year and shorter periods, and Table XVII details the company's five year Gap
position. 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 show that less than one 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 simulations
provide a more accurate measurement of the company's interest rate risk
positions than the following Gap tables.

Capital Strength

Regulatory Requirements -- First of America's capital policy is to maintain
its capital levels above minimum regulatory guidelines. At December 31, 1992,
the Federal Reserve required a tier I risk based capital ratio of 4.00 percent
and a total risk based capital ratio of 8.00 percent. In 1991, the Federal
Reserve also adopted a new leverage capital adequacy standard. This ratio
compares tier I capital to reported total assets less certain intangibles and
requires a minimum ratio of 4.00 percent in order to be categorized as
adequately capitalized. As shown in Table XVIII, at December 31, 1993, First of
America's capital ratios exceeded required regulatory minimums with a tier I
risk based ratio of 9.45 percent, a total risk based ratio of 11.87 percent and
a tier I leverage ratio of 6.43 percent. The increase in the ratios was largely
the result of net earnings retention. The year-end 1993 capital ratios exclude
the Statement No. 115 mark-to-market adjustment to shareholders' equity in
accordance with the Federal Reserve's interim regulations.

The long term debt which qualified as tier II capital at December 31, 1993,
consisted of $150 million in 8.5% Subordinated Notes Due February 1, 2004, a $10
million 6.35% Subordinated Note which matures ratably over a five year period
beginning December 31, 2003, $21.4 million in 9.25% Senior Notes due in equal
installments through 1996, and $7.8 million in 10.675% Subordinated Notes due in
equal installments through 1998. This debt is included in tier II capital on a
weighted maturity basis. On February 7, 1994, First of America exercised the
right to prepay its 9.25% Senior Notes, incurring a $441,000 prepayment penalty.
Additional information relating to First of America's various long term debt
agreements is provided in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included later in this document.

Total Shareholders' Equity -- First of America's total shareholders' equity
increased 14.1 percent to $1.5 billion at year-end 1993, primarily as a result
of net earnings retention and the Statement No. 115 adjustment. Common
shareholders' equity was $1.5 billion at year-end 1993, a 20.8 percent increase
from $1.3 billion a year ago. This growth was the result of net earnings
retention and the conversion of the Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock to
First of America Common Stock. Also impacting common shareholders' equity was
the issuance of 95,668 shares of First of America Common Stock in the company's
acquisition of Kewanee Investing Company, Inc. on April 1, 1993.

On December 31, 1993, First of America redeemed all outstanding shares of its
Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock which represented the remainder of its
outstanding preferred issues. Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock had
392,557 outstanding shares prior to redemption. All shares were converted to
First of America Common Stock resulting in an additional 2,355,342 common shares
being issued.

At December 31, 1993, First of America had one pending acquisition, LGF
Bancorp, Inc., and its principal subsidiary, La Grange Federal Savings and Loan
Association. This acquisition, which is currently anticipated to be completed in
the first half of 1994, will require the issuance of approximately 1,662,200
shares of First of America Common Stock. Consummation of this acquisition is
subject to approval by LGF Bancorp's shareholders and various regulatory
agencies and other conditions. Further information concerning this acquisition
is provided in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included
later in this document.

In Conclusion

A return on assets of 1.20 percent, an efficiency
ratio of 62.72 percent and a return on total equity of
17.50 percent represented significant achievements for
First of America for 1993. Based on this level of
performance and the competitiveness of the financial
services industry, management believes that it is
appropriate to set similar high goals for the future.
In the years ahead, management's goals for the
company's performance include a return on assets of
1.25 percent or higher and an efficiency ratio of 60
percent or lower, while maintaining a return on equity
between 17 percent and 18 percent. Looking specifically
at 1994, management has stated that it is currently
comfortable with the published range of investment
analysts' forecasts of $4.40 to $4.70 for earnings per
share.
[RETURN OF
AVERAGE ASSETS
GRAPH]

Return on average assets
of 1.20% in 1993 was
achieved by sustaining an
above average net interest
margin, while growing fee
income at a faster pace

Letter of Audit Committee Chairman

The audit committee of the Board of Directors is composed of eight independent
directors with Robert L. Hetzler as chairman. The committee held four meetings
during fiscal year 1993.

The audit committee oversees First of America's financial reporting process on
behalf of the Board of Directors. In fulfilling its responsibility, the
committee recommended to the Board of Directors, subject to shareholder
approval, the selection of First of America's independent auditor. The audit
committee discussed with the internal auditor and the independent auditor the
overall scope and specific plans for their respective audits. The committee
additionally discussed First of America's consolidated financial statements and
the adequacy of First of America's internal controls. The committee also met
with First of America's internal auditor and independent auditor, without
management present, to discuss the results of their audits, their evaluations of
First of America's internal controls and the overall quality of First of
America's financial reporting. This meeting was designed to facilitate private
communications between the committee, the internal auditor and the independent
auditor.

The audit committee believes that, for the period ended December 31, 1993, its
duties, as indicated, were satisfactorily discharged and that First of America's
system of internal controls is adequate.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors,
First of America Bank Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First of
America Bank Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992
and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1993. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated 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
management, 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First of
America Bank Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, First
of America Bank Corporation adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" at December
31, 1993.

As discussed in Notes 1 and 17 to the consolidated financial statements,
First of America Bank Corporation adopted the provisions of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions" in 1992.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1: ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles and reporting practices prescribed for
the banking industry. The significant accounting and reporting policies of First
of America Bank Corporation and its subsidiaries follow.

Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First of
America and its subsidiaries, after elimination of significant intercompany
transactions and accounts. Goodwill, the cost over the fair value of assets
acquired, is amortized on a basis which matches the periods estimated to be
benefitted ranging from five to forty years. First of America's current policy
is to amortize goodwill generated from acquisitions over a fifteen year period.

Basis of Presentation:

Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the current financial statement presentation. First
of America uses the accrual basis of accounting for financial reporting
purposes, except for immaterial sources of income and expenses which are
recorded when received or paid.

Securities:

In 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1993 with earlier adoption
allowed. First of America adopted Statement No. 115 at December 31, 1993.

In accordance with Statement No. 115, Securities Held to Maturity include
only those securities which First of America has the positive intent and ability
to hold until maturity. Such securities are carried at cost adjusted for
amortization of premium and accretion of discount, computed in a manner which
approximates the interest method. Using the specific identification method, the
adjusted cost of each security sold is used to compute realized gains or losses
on the sales of these securities.

In accordance with Statement No. 115, Securities Available for Sale include
those securities which would be available to be sold prior to final maturity in
response to asset-liability management needs. Using the specific identification
method such securities are carried at market value with a corresponding market
value adjustment carried as a separate component of the equity section of the
balance sheet on a net of tax basis. The adjusted cost of each security sold is
used to compute realized gains or losses on the sales of these securities.

Securities held for sale were recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or
estimated fair value and were primarily U.S. Treasury and Agency securities.

Loans Held for Sale:

Loans held for sale consist of fixed rate and variable rate residential
mortgage loans with maturities of fifteen to thirty years. Such loans are
recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value.

Allowance for Loan Losses:

Losses on loans are charged to the allowance for loan losses. The allowance
is increased by recoveries of principal and interest previously charged to the
allowance and by a provision charged against income. Management determines the
adequacy of the allowance based on reviews of individual loans, recent loss
experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various
categories of loans and such other factors which, in management's judgement,
deserve recognition in estimating possible loan losses.

Premises and Equipment:

Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and
include capital leases, expenditures for new facilities and additions which
materially extend the useful lives of existing premises and equipment.
Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are

31
32
charged to operations as incurred. The cost of assets retired or otherwise
disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the
accounts in the year of disposal, and the resulting gains or losses are
reflected in operations.

Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method and is
charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Capital
leases and leasehold improvements are being amortized over the lesser of the
remaining term of the respective lease or the estimated useful life of the
asset.

Non-Performing Loans:

Loans are considered non-performing when placed in non-accrual status or when
terms are renegotiated meeting the definition of troubled debt restructuring of
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 15, "Accounting by Debtors
and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructuring."

Loans are placed in non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management,
there is doubt as to collectibility of interest or principal, or when principal
or interest is past due 90 days or more, and the loan is either not well secured
or not in the process of collection. Consumer and revolving loans are generally
charged off when payments are 120 days past due.

Loans are considered to be renegotiated when concessions have been granted,
such as reduction of interest rates or deferral of interest or principal
payments, as a result of the borrower's financial condition.

In 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1994, with earlier adoption allowed. Statement No.
114 requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or,
as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair
value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Currently,
management believes that the adoption of Statement No. 114 will not have a
material effect on First of America's financial position.

Other Real Estate Owned:

Other real estate owned includes, primarily, properties acquired through
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and in-substance foreclosure. Other
real estate is recorded in other assets at the lower of the amount of the loan
balance plus unpaid accrued interest or the current fair value. Any write-down
of the loan balance to fair value when the property is acquired is charged to
the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent market write-downs, operating
expenses, and gains or losses on the sale of other real estate are charged or
credited to other operating expense.

Interest Income on Loans:

Fees and unearned interest income on loans is recognized over the terms of
the loans based on the unpaid principal balance. Interest accrual on loans is
discontinued when, in the opinion of management, the ultimate full collection of
both principal and interest is in doubt. Interest previously accrued on charged
off loans is reversed, by charging interest income, to the extent of the amount
included in current year income. The excess, if any, is charged to the allowance
for loan losses.

Accounting for Loan Fees:

Non-refundable loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are
deferred and amortized as an adjustment of yield by a method that approximates
the interest method. The deferred fees and costs are netted against outstanding
loan balances. When a loan is placed into nonaccrual status, amortization of the
loan fees is stopped until the loan returns to accruing status.

Deferred fees and costs related to credit card loans are included in other
assets and other liabilities and are amortized to non-interest income over the
life of the loans.

Income Tax:

In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which required a change from the deferred
method to the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under
the asset and liability method of Statement No. 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. Under

32
33

Statement No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change
in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date.

Effective January 1, 1992, First of America adopted Statement No. 109. The
adoption of Statement No. 109 did not have a material effect on the 1992
consolidated financial results.

The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 was passed in August 1993,
increasing First of America's federal income tax rate to 35 percent effective
January 1, 1993. The effect of the change from the previous 34 percent is
included in 1993 earnings.

Pursuant to the deferred method under APB Opinion 11, which was applied in
1991 and prior years, deferred income taxes were recognized for income and
expense items that are reported in different years for financial reporting
purposes and income tax purposes using the tax rate applicable for the year of
the calculation. Under the deferred method, deferred taxes are not adjusted for
subsequent changes in tax rates.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions:

In December 1990, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 106 "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions,"
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1992 with earlier
adoption allowed. Statement No. 106 required the accrual of the expected cost of
providing postretirement benefits to employees during the years that the
employees render services. Effective January 1, 1992, First of America adopted
Statement No. 106. Prior to 1992, First of America expensed the costs of
postretirement benefits as they were incurred. The cumulative effect of the
change in method of accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions
is reported in the 1992 consolidated statement of income.

Post-Employment Benefits:

In 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Post-employment Benefits," effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1993. Statement No. 112 requires employers to
recognize the obligation to provide post-employment benefits, such as salary
continuation, supplemental unemployment benefits and severance benefits, if the
obligation is attributable to employees' services already rendered. Management
has determined that First of America was in compliance with Statement No. 112
prior to its issuance and accordingly there is no financial statement impact in
the adoption of Statement No. 112.

Interest Rate Swaps:

The corporation and its subsidiaries have entered into interest rate swaps as
a tool to manage the interest sensitivity of the balance sheet. The contracts
represent an exchange of interest payments and 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.

* Includes direct acquisition costs on all purchased affiliates.
** Accounted for as a pooling of interests with no restatement of prior periods
as the amounts involved were not material to First of America.
*** Accounted for as a pooling of interests with restatement of prior periods.

Goodwill, the cost over the fair value of assets acquired, is amortized on a
basis which matches the periods estimated to be benefitted ranging from five to
forty years. Total intangibles, which is included in other assets in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets, amounted to $138,423,000 at December 31, 1993 and
$124,179,000 at December 31, 1992. At December 31, 1992, First of America
accelerated the amortization of its intangible assets incurring a charge of
$25,891,000 with no tax effect.

NOTE 3: PENDING ACQUISITIONS

On October 12, 1993, First of America Bank Corporation entered into a
definitive agreement to acquire LGF Bancorp, Inc., a $410 million in assets
savings and loan association based in La Grange, Illinois. Subject to regulatory
approval and the shareholders of LGF Bancorp, Inc., the transaction will be
based on an exchange of 0.8754 shares of First of America Common Stock for each
share of LGF common stock and an exchange of 0.6322 shares of First of America
Common Stock for each outstanding option to purchase LGF common stock. It is
expected that the transaction will be accounted for as a pooling of interests.
LGF Bancorp, Inc. has also issued a warrant to allow First of America to acquire
up to 19.99 percent of its common shares under certain circumstances.

NOTE 4: RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

Federal regulations require First of America to maintain as reserves, minimum
cash balances based on deposit levels at subsidiary banks. Cash balances
restricted from usage due to these requirements were $297,497,000 and
$289,582,000 at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

Except as indicated below, total securities of no individual state, political
subdivision or other issuer exceeded 10 percent of shareholders' equity at
December 31, 1993. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the book value of securities
issued by the State of Michigan and all of its political subdivisions totalled
approximately $189,536,000 and $213,582,000, respectively, with a market value
of approximately $194,238,000 and $217,052,000, respectively. The securities at
December 31, 1993, represent a wide range of ratings, all of "investment grade"
with a substantial portion rated A-1 or higher. First of America has no
concentration of credit risk in its investment portfolio.

Assets, principally securities, carried at approximately $1,394,103,000 at
December 31, 1993, and $787,455,000 at December 31, 1992, were pledged to secure
public deposits, exercise trust powers and for other purposes required or
permitted by law.

NOTE 7: RISK ELEMENTS IN THE LOAN PORTFOLIO AND OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

Assets earning at less than normal rates include (1) non-accrual loans, (2)
restructured loans (loans for which the interest rate or principal balance has
been reduced because of a borrower's financial difficulty) and (3) other real
estate which has been acquired in lieu of loan balances due. Information
concerning these assets, loans past due 90 days or more and other loans of
concern (loans where known information about possible credit problems of
borrowers causes management concern about the ability of such borrowers to
comply with the present loan terms) at December 31, 1993 and 1992 follows:

Interest income of $3,149,000 and $2,503,000 during 1993 and 1992,
respectively, was recognized as income on non-accrual and restructured loans.
Had these loans been performing under the original contract terms, an additional
$6,928,000 and $6,957,000 of interest would have been reflected in interest
income during 1993 and 1992, respectively.

First of America has no significant concentrations of credit risk. Its loan
portfolio is well balanced both by type and by geographical area.

NOTE 8: LOANS TO RELATED PARTIES

First of America's subsidiary banks have extended loans to directors and
executive officers of the corporation and their associates and to the directors
and executive officers of the corporation's significant subsidiaries and their
associates (other than members of their immediate families). In conformance with
First of America's written corporate policy and applicable laws and regulations,
these loans to related parties were made in accordance with sound business and
banking practices on non-preferential terms and rates available to non-insiders
of comparable credit worthiness under similar circumstances. The loans do not
involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable
features. All such extensions of credit must be properly documented as complying
with corporate policy. The aggregate loans outstanding as reported by the
directors and executive officers of the corporation and its significant
subsidiaries which exceeded $60,000 during 1993 totalled $42,405,000 at December
31, 1993, which represents 2.8 percent of total shareholders' equity, and
$39,489,000 at December 31, 1992. During 1993 $44,959,000 of new loans

37
38
were made with repayments and other reductions totaling $42,043,000. First of
America relies on its directors and executive officers for identification of
loans to their associates.

First of America maintains a line of credit for First of America Mortgage
Company; at December 31, 1993, the amount of the borrowing was $95,600,000. In
conformance with First of America's corporate policy and applicable law, such
extensions of credit to subsidiaries are made in accordance with sound banking
practices and on non-preferential terms and rates.

In the opinion of management, the amount and nature of these loans to related
parties and subsidiaries do not materially affect the financial condition of
First of America.

loan portfolio, economic conditions and other pertinent factors.

First of America and certain of its subsidiaries have capital and operating
leases for premises and equipment under agreements expiring at various dates
through 2034. These leases, in general, provide for renewal options and options
to purchase certain premises at fair values, and require the payment of property
taxes, insurance premiums and maintenance costs. Total rental expense for all
operating leases was $10,936,000 in 1993, $16,329,000 in 1992, and $21,226,000

On April 21, 1989, First of America entered into a revolving credit agreement
with various lender banks to borrow up to $100,000,000 until April 21, 1994. On
December 6, 1993, First of America extended a Promissory Note, due December 5,
1994, in the amount of $35,000,000. Under the Note, First of America may request
partial advances which mature before December 5, 1994, and bear interest based
on a sliding scale of LIBOR-based rates tied to the amount of the advance. A
facility fee is payable on the daily average balance of the commitment at a rate
of 3/16 of 1%.

The various loan agreements include restrictions on additional indebtedness,
refinancing, payment of cash dividends and the purchase of capital stock. During
1994 First of America can, under the most restrictive loan covenants, declare
and pay dividends of approximately $58,575,000 plus 50 percent of consolidated
net income. The indebtedness of subsidiary banks is subordinated to the claims
of its depositors and certain other creditors. Management has determined that
First of America is in compliance with all of its loan covenants.

NOTE 12: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk:

In First of America's normal course of business, there are various
conditional obligations outstanding which are not reflected in the financial
statements. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit,
standby letters of credit, commercial letters of credit, when issued securities,
securities lent and commitments to purchase foreign currency.

First of America's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
other parties to the financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk is
represented by the contractual notational amount of these instruments. First of
America uses the same credit policies in making these commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Unless noted otherwise, First of America does not require collateral or other
security to support financial instruments with off balance sheet credit risk.

A summary of the contract or notional amounts of these financial instruments
at December 31 follows:

($ in thousands) 1993 1992

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total........................................................................................... $10,578,511 7,257,781
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates and may require payment of a fee. Since
many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the
commitment amounts included in the preceding table does not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. At December 31, 1993, other commitments to
extend credit were comprised of $1,246,685,000 in unused commercial loan
commitments, $343,880,000 in commitments to fund commercial real estate,
construction and land development of which $287,195,000 was secured by real
estate, and $471,394,000 in home equity lines of credit. Collateral held on
these instruments varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory,
property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit are conditional
commitments issued to secure performance of a customer to a third party and are
subject to the same credit review and approval process as loans. Losses to date
have not been material.

Foreign exchange contracts are entered into for trading activities which
enable customers to transfer or reduce their foreign exchange risk. Foreign
exchange forward contracts represent First of America's largest activity in this
specialized area. Forward contracts are commitments to buy or sell at a future
date a currency at a contracted price and are settled in cash or through
delivery. The risk in foreign exchange trading arises from the potential
inability of the counterparties to deliver under the terms of the contract and
the possibility that the value of a foreign currency might

40
41
change in relation to the U.S. dollar. In the event of a default by a
counterparty, the cost to First of America would be the replacement of the
contract at the current market rate. Such credit losses to date have not been
material. The risk of loss from changes in market rate is substantially lessened
because First of America limits its risk by entering into offsetting contracts.

First of America has entered into mandatory commitments to deliver mortgage
loans or mortgage backed securities to investors, at prevailing market rates,
which totalled $373.3 million as of December 31, 1993. Approximately $16 million
of put options were in existence at year-end as a hedge against interest rate
risk.

Mortgages Sold With Recourse:

First of America has sold mortgage loans to the Federal National Mortgage
Association (FNMA), Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), and other savings institutions with full
recourse. The total unpaid principal balances of these loans were $90.3 million
at December 31, 1993 and are not included in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets.

Interest Rate Swaps:

During the second quarter of 1993, First of America instituted rate swaps to
hedge its interest rate risk. At December 31, 1993, the interest rate swaps had
a total notional value of $291.6 million. Although the 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.

Litigation:

First of America and its subsidiaries are parties to routine litigation
arising in the normal course of their respective businesses. In the opinion of
management after consultation with counsel, liabilities arising from these
proceedings, if any, are not expected to be material to First of America's
financial position.

Environmental Matters:

Certain of First of America's subsidiaries own or previously owned certain
parcels of real property with respect to which they have been notified by the
Michigan Department of Natural Resources pursuant to Michigan environmental
statutes that they may be potentially responsible parties (PRPs) for
environmental contamination on or emanating from the properties. The costs of
remediating the contamination cannot be determined at this time. While, as PRPs,
these subsidiaries may be jointly and severally liable for the costs of
remediating the contamination, in most cases, there are a number of other PRPs
who may also be jointly and severally liable for remediation costs.
Additionally, in certain cases, these subsidiaries have asserted statutory
defenses to liability for remediation costs based on the subsidiaries' status as
lending institutions that acquired ownership of the contaminated property
through foreclosure. First of America's management, after consultation with
legal counsel, does not currently anticipate that the ultimate liability, if
any, arising from these matters will have a material effect on First of
America's financial position.

NOTE 13: PREFERRED STOCK

On December 31, 1993, First of America redeemed all outstanding shares of its
Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock which represented the remainder of its
outstanding preferred issues. The Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock had
392,557 outstanding shares prior to redemption. All the shares were converted to
First of America Common Stock resulting in 2,355,342 shares being issued.

First of America has reserved 500,000 shares of preferred stock for issuance
as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred") upon the
exercise of certain preferred stock purchase rights (each a "Right") issued to
holders of and in tandem with shares of the common stock. The description and
terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement ("Rights Agreement"),
dated July 18, 1990, between First of America and First of America Bank --
Michigan, N.A., as Rights Agent. The Rights Agreement was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to First of America's
Registration Statement dated July 18, 1990 on Form 8-A under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.

Generally, the Rights Agreement provides as follows. The Rights are not
exercisable until a distribution date, which occurs ten days after a person or
group (an "Acquiring Person") publicly announces acquisition of or commences a
tender offer which may result in the acquisition of beneficial ownership of 10
percent or more of the outstanding shares of First of America Common Stock (a
"Stock Acquisition Date"). If, following a Stock Acquisition Date, First of
America is merged with or engages in a business combination transaction with the
Acquiring Person or the Acquiring Person increases its beneficial ownership of
First of America Common Stock by more than one percent or engages in self
dealing, then

41
42
holders of Rights, other than the Acquiring Person, will receive upon exercise
of each Right, common stock of First of America or of the entity surviving the
merger or business combination or other consideration with a value of two times
the exercise price of the right.

First of America may, at its option, at any time after a Stock Acquisition
Date and before an Acquiring Person becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50
percent of the outstanding shares of First of America Common Stock, elect to
exchange all outstanding Rights for shares of First of America Common Stock at
an exchange ratio of one share of First of America Common Stock per Right,
subject to adjustment to prevent dilution. At any time until twenty days
following the Stock Acquisition Date, First of America may redeem the Rights in
whole, but not in part, at a price of $.01 per Right. Until a Right is
exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no right as a shareholder of
First of America, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive
dividends. Other than those provisions relating to the principal economic terms
of the Rights, any of the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended by
First of America's Board of Directors prior to the distribution date.

If issued upon exercise of the Rights, shares of the Series A Preferred will
rank junior to any convertible preferred outstanding at such time. Each share of
Series A Preferred shall be entitled to 100 votes on all matters submitted to a
vote of the shareholders of the company. Additionally, in the event the company
fails to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred for four full quarters, holders
of the Series A Preferred have certain rights to elect additional directors of
the company. Except as described above, holders of the Series A Preferred have
no preemptive rights to subscribe for additional securities which the company
may issue. The Series A Preferred will not be redeemable. Each share of Series A
Preferred will, subject to the rights of any preferred stock the company may
issue ranking senior to the Series A Preferred, be entitled to preferential
quarterly dividends equal to the greater of $10.00, or subject to certain
adjustments, 100 times the dividend declared per share of common stock. Upon
liquidation of the company, holders of Series A Preferred will, subject to the
rights of senior securities, be entitled to a preferential liquidation payment
equal to $190.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. In the event of
any merger, consolidation, or other transaction in which shares of common stock
are exchanged, each share of Series A Preferred will, subject to the rights of
senior securities, be entitled to receive 100 times the amount received per
share of common stock. The rights of the Series A Preferred are protected by
customary antidilution provisions.

NOTE 14: STOCK OPTION PLAN

The First of America Bank Corporation Restated 1987 Stock Option Plan is
administered by the Nominating and Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors, none of whom is eligible to participate therein. Under the Plan
options to purchase up to 1,700,000 authorized but unissued shares of First of
America Common Stock may be issued through December 9, 1997.

The stock options are exercisable during the 10 year period, beginning on the
date of grant and may be granted at prices not less than the fair market value
on the date of grant.

NOTE 15: DIVIDENDS FROM BANKING SUBSIDIARIES

Dividends paid to First of America by its bank subsidiaries amounted to
$200,700,000 in 1993, $137,369,000 in 1992 and $177,665,000 in 1991. Unless
prior regulatory approval is obtained, banking regulations limit the amount of
dividends that First of America's banking subsidiaries can declare during 1994,
to the 1994 net profits, as defined in the Federal Reserve Act, plus retained
net profits for 1993 and 1992, which amounted to $157,285,000. Under the FDIC
Improvement Act of 1991, there is incentive to maintain banks' capital at the
"well-capitalized" level. This may further restrict dividends in the future.

NOTE 16: EMPLOYEE PENSION PLAN

First of America and its subsidiaries have a defined benefit pension plan
that covers substantially all of its full-time employees. Benefits are based on
years of service and the employee's compensation.

Pension costs for the years 1993 and 1992 were calculated based on Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 87 "Employers' Accounting for
Pensions." Pension costs for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991
equaled $6,508,000, $11,821,000 and $6,957,000, respectively.

The following table presents the plan's funded status and amounts recognized
in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 1993 and 1992.

First of America's weighted-average discount rate was 7.0 percent at December
31, 1993 and 8 1/4 percent at December 31, 1992. The rate of increase in future
compensation levels used in determining the actuarial present value of the
projected benefit obligation was 5.00 percent at year-end 1993 and 6.00 percent
at year-end 1992. The expected long term rate of return on assets was 8.75
percent and 8.00 percent at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The
assumed rates in place at each year-end are used to determine the net periodic
pension cost for the following year.

NOTE 17: OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

First of America and its subsidiaries have a Retiree Medical Plan which
provides a portion of retiree medical care premiums. First of America's level of
contribution is based on an age and service formula.

First of America adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," as of
January 1, 1992. Postretirement benefit costs of $2,308,000 were recorded on a
cash basis for the year ended December 31, 1991.

44

During 1993, First of America implemented several managed care initiatives
and redesigned its Preferred Provider Organization. This change was measured as
of December 31, 1993 and reduced the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation as of that date by $4,807,000.

The following table presents the plan's funded status reconciled with amounts
recognized in First of America's Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 1993
and 1992:

Net periodic postretirement benefit cost.............................................................. $ 4,011 4,064
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For measurement purposes of the accrued postretirement benefit cost included
in other liabilities, 10.95 percent and 11.54 percent annual rates of increase
in the per capita cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate)
were assumed at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively; the 1993 rate was
further assumed to decline evenly to 5.0 percent in 2004. The weighted-average
discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation was 7.0 percent at December 31, 1993 and 8.5 percent at December 31,
1992. To determine First of America's net periodic postretirement benefit cost
for 1993 and 1992, a weighted average discount rate of 8.5 percent and the
health care trend rate of 11.54 percent were used.

The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the
amounts reported. For example, increasing the assumed health care cost trend
rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1993 by 5.2 percent and the
aggregate of the service and interest cost components of the net periodic
postretirement benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 1993 by 4.4 percent.

NOTE 19: INCOME TAXES

First of America adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109
"Accounting for Income Taxes," effective January 1, 1992. The adoption of
Statement No. 109 did not result in any cumulative effect for the change in
accounting for income taxes to be reported in 1992. Prior years' financial
statements have not been restated to apply the provisions of Statement No. 109.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of January 1, 1993 was
$10,569,000. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended
December 31, 1993 was a decrease of $9,686,000.

Subsequently recognized tax benefits of $883,000 relating to the valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 1993 will be allocated to
the income tax benefit that would be reported in the consolidated statement of
earnings.

NOTE 20: EARNINGS PER SHARE CALCULATION

The weighted average number of shares used in the determination of earnings
per share were:

1993 1992 1991

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Common and common equivalents................................................... 57,416,771 54,841,762 53,536,154
Fully diluted................................................................... 59,772,113 59,559,956 59,083,334
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Common and common equivalents per share amounts were calculated by dividing
net income applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the respective periods adjusted for the portion of
stock options which were considered common equivalents, 305,240 in 1993, 212,463
in 1992 and 138,433 in 1991. Fully diluted earnings per share calculations were
based on the assumption that all outstanding preferred stock was converted into
common stock and the preferred dividends on these shares eliminated. In
addition, the average fully diluted earnings per share included the portion of
stock options which were considered common equivalents, 305,240 in 1993, 303,947
in 1992 and 190,777 in 1991.

On December 31, 1993 and 1992, there were 59,520,710 and 57,014,117 common
shares outstanding, respectively. At the same dates there were 100,000,000
authorized shares of $10 par value common stock. On October 20, 1993, First of
America's Board of Directors called for the

47
48
redemption on December 31, 1993 of all outstanding shares of the company's
Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock. Notice of the redemption resulted in
the issuance of 2,355,342 shares of First of America Common Stock upon
shareholders' exercise of the conversion privilege before the redemption date.

NOTE 21: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE

The Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement No. 107, "Disclosure
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value
information for financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance
sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted
market prices were not available, fair values were based on estimates using
present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly
affected by the assumptions used. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts
presented do not represent the underlying value of First of America.

For purposes of this disclosure, estimated fair value of financial
instruments with short-term maturities is assumed to equal the recorded book
value. These financial instruments include cash and short term investments,
accrued interest receivable and payable and short term borrowings. Estimated
fair values for other financial instruments were determined as follows:

Loans Held for Sale:

Fair value for loans held for sale was based on quoted market prices. If a
quoted market price was not available, the fair value was estimated using market
prices for similar assets.

Securities:

Fair values for Held to Maturity and Available for Sale securities were based
on quoted market prices. If a quoted market price was not available, fair value
was estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Loans Receivable:

For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and for which there has been
no significant change in credit risk, fair values equal carrying values. The
fair values for fixed rate loans were based on estimates using discounted cash
flow analyses and current interest rates being offered for loans with similar
terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The carrying amount of accrued
interest approximates its fair value.

Deposit Liabilities:

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits with no stated maturity (e.g.,
interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings and certain types of money
market accounts) were, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at
the reporting date. The carrying amounts for variable rate, fixed-term money
market accounts and certificates of deposits with less than twelve months
maturities approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for
fixed-rate certificates of deposit with maturities greater than twelve months
are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applied interest
rates being offered on the same or similar certificates at the reporting date to
a schedule of aggregated expected maturities on the certificates of deposits.

Long Term Borrowings:

Fair values for First of America's long term debt (other than deposits) was
estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on
the current rates offered to the company for debt of the same remaining
maturities.

Off Balance Sheet Instruments:

Fair values for unused commitments were estimated using the fees charged to
enter into similar agreements at the reporting date, taking into account the
remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit worthiness of the
counterparties. Fair values for guarantees and letters of credit were based on
fees charged for similar agreements.

The fair value of forward delivery commitments, foreign exchange contracts
and interest rate swaps is estimated, using dealer quotes, as the amount that
the corporation would receive or pay to execute a new agreement with terms
identical to those remaining on the current agreement, considering current
interest rates.

48
49

First of America has mandatory commitments to deliver loans totalling $373.3
million which are at prevailing market rates. First of America attributes no
value to these commitments at December 31, 1993.

The estimated fair values of First of America's financial instruments for
which the fair value differs from the recorded book value for December 31, 1993
and 1992 were as follows:
