                          D&N FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for
the three and nine month periods ended September  30, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.



NOTE 2:  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Per share data is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding
for the periods presented.  The weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares used in computing primary earnings per share was 8,119,258
and 7,820,768 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and September 30,
1995, respectively, and 8,058,047 and 7,646,108 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995, respectively.  The weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares used in computing fully diluted
earnings per share was 8,202,564 and 7,881,373 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995, respectively, and 8,167,211 and
7,879,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995,
respectively.



NOTE 3:  ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for possible losses on loans is maintained at a level believed
adequate by management to absorb potential losses from impaired loans as well
as losses from the remainder of the portfolio.  Management's determination of
the level of the allowance is based upon evaluation of the portfolio, past
experience, current economic conditions, size and composition of the portfolio,
collateral location and values, cash flow positions, industry concentrations,
delinquencies, and other relevant factors.  The allowance is increased by a
provision for losses charged against income.

   Changes in the allowance for loan losses are summarized as follows:

NOTE 4: SAVINGS AND LOAN INSURANCE FUND ASSESSMENT

As of September 30, 1996, the Company accrued a one-time charge of $5.5 million
pretax, ($3.6 million after-tax) as the mandated contribution of its
wholly-owned subsidiary, D&N Bank, to replenish the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation's depleted Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF).  This charge
is the result of federal legislation passed and signed into law on September
30, 1996, which requires all thrifts to pay a one-time assessment to restore
the SAIF fund to it statutory reserve level.  The assessment is 65.7 basis
points (b.p.)  of the institution's deposits as of March 31, 1995.


NOTE 5: FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The liability method is used in accounting for federal income taxes.  Under
this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse.

A federal income tax credit was recorded in the  first two quarters of 1996 as
a result of the elimination of a previously recorded deferred tax valuation
allowance.  The third quarter of 1996 reflects a federal income tax credit due
to the net tax effect of the loss resulting from the one-time SAIF charge,
offset by a $500,000 federal income tax charge resulting from a change in the
taxation rules covering thrifts' reserves for losses on loans.  This charge
follows the August 1996 enactment of federal legislation which disallowed
recapture of pre-1988 loan loss provision deductions.

No material federal income taxes were recorded in the same 1995 reporting
periods due to reductions of the deferred tax valuation allowance.


NOTE 6: BUSINESS COMBINATION

On April 10, 1996, Macomb Federal Savings Bank ("Macomb") was merged into the
Company.  The Company issued 716,497 shares of common stock and cash in lieu of
fractional shares for all of the outstanding shares of Macomb.  At the time of
the merger, Macomb had assets and stockholders' equity (unaudited) of
$41,932,000 and $6,268,000, respectively. The merger was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests, and accordingly, the financial statements, prior to the
merger, have been restated to include the results of Macomb.

A reconciliation of consolidated net interest income, net income and earnings
per share, previously reported and restated amounts, follows:

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

        The following discussion and analysis provides information regarding D&N
Financial Corporation's (D&N or the Company) financial condition and results of
operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996
and 1995.  Ratios for the three-month and nine-month periods are stated on an
annualized basis.  Results of operations for the 1996 periods are not
necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the entire year.
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in
this Form 10-Q.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 NET INCOME

        D&N Bank, the company's wholly-owned subsidiary, incurred a one-time
after-tax charge of $3.6 million during the quarter as its mandated
contribution to replenish the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's depleted
Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF).  This charge is the result of
federal legislation passed and signed into law on September 30, 1996, which
requires all thrifts to pay a one-time assessment to restore the SAIF fund to
its statutory reserve level.  The assessment is 65.7 basis points (b.p.) of an
institution's deposits as of March 31, 1995. The Bank also incurred a $500,000
charge related to federal legislation changing the taxation rules covering
thrifts' reserves for losses on loans.  This charge follows the August 1996
enactment of federal legislation which disallowed recapture of pre-1988 loan
loss provision deductions.

        Including the one-time charges, the Company recorded a net loss for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996 of $1.1 million, compared to net income of
$3.1 million in the third quarter of 1995.  Return on assets and return on
equity were (0.31)% and (5.44)%,  respectively, during the quarter ended
September 30, 1996, compared to 1.02% and 18.50%, respectively, during the
quarter ended September 30, 1995.  The decrease in net income was primarily due
to the one-time SAIF charge, the disallowed loan loss recapture, higher
operating costs and reduction in both loan servicing income and gain on sale of
loans held for sale, partially offset by higher net interest income and higher
deposit related fees.

        For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company recorded net
income of $5.8 million, compared to net income of $7.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995.  Return on assets and return on equity were
0.58% and 10.02%, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30,
1996, compared to 0.81% and 14.88%, respectively, during the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. The same factors that explained the third quarter
comparison were present during the year-to-date comparative periods.

     NET INTEREST INCOME

        Net interest income, or the difference between interest earned on
interest earning assets such as loans and investments and interest paid on
sources of funds such as deposits and borrowings, is a significant component of
the Company's earnings.  Net interest income is affected by changes in both the
balance of and the rates of interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities and the  amount of interest earning assets funded with non-interest
or low-interest bearing funds.
        
        Net interest income increased $2.4 million to $11.2 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996 compared to $8.8 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995.  The increase was due to increased volume and improved
yields on variable rate and short lived assets and to maturity of the Company's
interest rate exchange agreements.  These improvements were partially offset by
increased interest paid on FHLB advances and borrowings under agreements to
repurchase along with increases in interest paid on deposits due to a higher
volume of deposits for the period.

        Similarly, net interest income increased $6.3 million to $31.5 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $25.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995.  The same factors that explained the third
quarter comparison were present during the year-to-date comparative periods.

        After raising additional capital in December 1993 and by increasing its
consumer and commercial lending activities, the Company has been able to
increase its net interest earning assets and to realize increased net yields.
The result of these factors is that net interest margin has steadily improved
during recent quarters.  Net interest margin was 3.37% for the third quarter of
1996, compared to 3.05% for the third quarter of 1995.  Net interest margin was
3.28% for the first nine months of 1996, compared to 3.05% for the 1995
nine-month period.


     PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

        A provision for loan losses is charged to income based on the size and
quality of the loan portfolio measured against prevailing economic conditions.
This process is accomplished through a formal review analysis.  The provision
is recorded in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for possible loan
losses at a level in excess of that expected by management to be required to
cover specific exposures in the portfolio.

        The Company recorded a $300,000 provision for loan losses during the
quarter ended September 30, 1996 compared to a $500,000 provision recorded
during the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  For the first nine months of
1996, the Company's provision for loan losses was $900,000, compared to $1.5
million for the first nine months of 1995.  The allowance for possible loan
losses has been maintained at approximately  1.00% of gross loans even as the
loan portfolio has experienced significant growth over the past nine months.

<PAGE>   11


     NONINTEREST INCOME

        Total noninterest income was $1.7 million for the third quarter of 1996,
versus $2.0 million for the third quarter of 1995.  Loan servicing  fees were
down  $204,000 largely due to higher rates of amortization on mortgage
servicing rights.  Deposit related fees were up $178,000 primarily due to
increased ATM network income.  Gain on sale of loans held for sale decreased
$368,000 due to decreased sales of loans originated or purchased for sale.

        The adoption of SFAS 122 in the prior year quarter also resulted in an
increase in income by a recognition of servicing rights created back to July 1,
1995. This increased income in the prior year quarter by $458,000.

        For the nine  months ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995,
total noninterest income was $5.5 million, in each period.  Increases of
$644,000 occurred  in the areas of deposit related fees and gain on loans held
for sale.  Also during the current year, the Company sold investment securities
from its available-for-sale portfolio at a gain of $188,000.  During the prior
year, the Company sold several low-yielding investment and mortgage-backed
securities from its available-for-sale portfolios and reinvested the proceeds
in higher-yielding securities of a similar nature.  Additionally, the Company
sold a $34.6 million package of loans and used the proceeds to fund loan demand
and to reduce short-term debt.  These transactions resulted in net gains of
$779,000 in the prior year period.  For the above reasons, there was a decrease
of $591,000 in gain on sales of interest-earning assets.

     NONINTEREST EXPENSE

        Total noninterest expense increased $6.4 million to $13.7 million during
the quarter ended September 30, 1996, from $7.3 million during the prior year
quarter.  Compensation and benefits increased due to general wage and benefit
increases, deferred compensation  payments and additional staffing at new
banking facilities. Occupancy expense increased primarily because of increased
rental expense and leasehold improvements for new or expanded leased office
locations.

        The prior year's quarter included sales of two commercial OREO
properties, resulting in a decrease of the net cost effect that quarter.  FDIC
insurance rose to $6.1 million for the current quarter versus $599,000 for the
prior year's quarter, due to a one-time charge in the current quarter of 
approximately $5.5 million to replenish the SAIF, see "Regulatory Developments".

        For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, total noninterest expense
increased $9.6 million to $31.6 million, compared to $22.0 million recorded
during the nine months ended September  30, 1995.  Similar factors contributed
to the increase in noninterest expense for the nine month period as contributed
to the three month period.

        In addition to items described in the quarterly comparison, the Company
also incurred merger-related expenses in connection with its acquisition of
Macomb (see Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).  These
expenses accounted for approximately $1.5 million of the $9.6 million increase
in the year versus prior year noninterest expense.

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

        Federal income tax credits of $42,000 and $1.4 million were recorded
during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively,
compared to no material federal income tax recorded in either of the 1995
periods.  The federal income tax credit in the third quarter was primarily due
to the net tax effect of the one-time SAIF charge in excess of  third quarter
pre-tax income.  During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company expects to
record normal provisions for federal income tax expense.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

        Total assets at September 30, 1996 were $1.41 billion, an increase of
$180 million from December 31, 1995.  Earning assets represented approximately
98% of total assets as of September 30, 1996, substantially the same as at
year-end 1995.

  CASH, DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENT SECURITIES
     
        Cash, deposits and investment securities were $114.4 million at
September 30, 1996, down $4.5 million from December 31, 1995.  During the
period, a portion of the Company's liquidity portfolio was used to partially
fund loan demand.

     MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

        Mortgage-backed securities increased $42.2 million to $169.9 million at
September  30, 1996.  During the period, the Company purchased $34.3 million of
government agency collateralized mortgage obligations with a weighted average
yield of 6.90% and a weighted average life of 2.5 years and in a separate
transaction, exchanged $46.7 million in fixed-rate mortgage loans for FNMA
mortgage-backed securities.  The FNMA mortgage-backed  securities have a
weighted average coupon of 6.82% and a weighted average maturity of 12 years.
No gain or loss was recorded in this exchange  transaction. The entire
mortgage-backed securities portfolio experienced repayments and amortization
during the period of $38.4 million plus a decrease of $281,000 in market value
recognized through stockholders' equity on mortgage-backed securities available
for sale.

     NET LOANS RECEIVABLE

        Net loans receivable increased $137.3 million during the period to $1.1
billion at September  30, 1996.  Loan originations of $393.5 million and
purchases of $130.4 million exceeded repayments of $280.8 million and sales
(and exchanges) of $104.9 million.  Loan originations during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 were substantially higher compared to the first nine
months of 1995.  Consumer loan originations were $208.7 million compared to
$148.7 million, while real estate and commercial loan originations were $184.8
million compared to $144.5 million.

</TABLE>

        Nonperforming assets, before allowances for loan and OREO losses,
experienced a slight decrease during the period.  OREO decreased primarily due
to the sale of a repossessed apartment complex, offset partially by increased
OREO on purchased residential properties.

     MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS (MSRs)

        The Company's net investment in MSRs increased during the period to $1.4
million at September 30, 1996.  The following table details activity in the
portfolio for the periods indicated.

     DEPOSITS

       Deposits increased $21.8 million during the period to $944.7 million at
September 30, 1996.  Certificates of deposit increased $4.8 million while
savings deposits increased $5.0 million, checking accounts increased $7.0
million and money market accounts increased $5.3 million.  The Company's cost
of deposits decreased to 4.59% at September 30, 1996, compared to 4.82% at
December 31, 1995, as a result of a general decrease in market rates of
interest coupled with the increase in lower cost core deposits.

     BORROWINGS

        Total borrowings increased $145.9 million during the period to $362.2
million at September  30, 1996 in order to fund actual and future anticipated
loan growth.  The Company's cost of borrowings was 5.72% at September 30, 1996,
compared to 6.09% at December 31, 1995.

     CAPITAL

     According to federal regulations, the Bank must meet certain minimum
capital ratios.  As the following table indicates, the Bank's capital ratios at
September 30, 1996 exceeded these requirements.

</TABLE>




     Consolidated stockholders' equity was $78.1 million at September  30, 1996
and represents 5.55% of consolidated assets.

   LIQUIDITY

    Liquidity is the ability to meet financial obligations when due.
Regulatory authorities require that thrift institutions maintain liquidity
consisting of cash, short-term U. S. Government Securities and other specified
assets, equal to at least 5% of net withdrawable accounts and borrowings
payable in one year or less.  At September 30, 1996, the Bank's average
liquidity ratio was 5.87%.  At September 30, 1996, unused borrowing capacity as
measured by the Bank's inventory of readily available but unpledged collateral
was approximately $154 million.  The Company considers its current liquidity
and other funding sources sufficient to fund its outstanding loan commitments
and scheduled liability maturities.

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

     The deposits of savings associations, such as D&N Bank, are presently
insured by the SAIF, which together with the BIF (Bank Insurance Fund), are the
two insurance funds administered by the FDIC.  Financial institutions which are
members of the BIF are experiencing substantially lower deposit insurance
premiums because the BIF has achieved its required level of reserves while the
SAIF has not yet achieved its required reserves.  In order to help eliminate
this disparity and any competitive disadvantage due to disparate deposit
insurance premium schedules, legislation to recapitalize the SAIF was enacted
on September 30, 1996.

     The legislation requires a special one-time assessment of approximately
65.7 cents per $100 of SAIF deposits held by the Bank at March 31, 1995.
Management recognized the one-time special assessment  in a tax affected charge
to earnings of approximately $3.6 million during the quarter ended September
30, 1996.  The legislation is intended to fully recapitalize the SAIF fund so
that commercial bank and thrift deposits will be charged  FDIC premiums at the
same rate beginning October 1, 1996.

     D&N Bank, however, will continue to be subject to an assessment to fund
repayment of the Financing Corporation (FICO) bond obligation.  It is
anticipated that the FICO assessment for SAIF insured institutions will be 6.5
cents per $100 of deposits while BIF insured institutions will pay 1.3 cents
per $100 of deposits until the year 2000 when the assessment will be imposed at
the same rate on all FDIC insured institutions.  Accordingly, as result of the
reduction of the SAIF assessment and the resulting FICO assessment, the annual
before  tax decrease in assessment costs is expected to be approximately $1.6
million based upon a September 30, 1996 assessment base.
