PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

Comerica Incorporated ("Comerica" or the "Corporation") is a registered bank
holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware,
headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, and was formed in 1973 to acquire the
outstanding common stock of Comerica Bank (formerly Comerica Bank-Detroit), a
Michigan banking corporation ("Comerica Bank"). As of December 31, 1993,
Comerica owned directly or indirectly all the outstanding common stock (except
for directors' qualifying shares, where applicable) of eight banking and
forty-two non-banking subsidiaries. At December 31, 1993, Comerica had total
assets of approximately $30.3 billion, total deposits of approximately $20.9
billion, total loans (net of unearned income) of approximately $19.1 billion,
and shareholders' equity of approximately $2.2 billion. At December 31, 1993,
Comerica was the second largest bank holding company headquartered in Michigan
in terms of both total assets and total deposits.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

Comerica's business strategy focuses on five core businesses in four geographic
markets. Those businesses are corporate banking, consumer banking, private
banking, institutional trust and investment management, and international
finance and trade services. Corporate banking incorporates highly specialized
units servicing a full range of company sizes with both credit and non-credit
products. Consumer banking provides deposit, credit and fee-based products to
individuals needing financial services but whose income or wealth do not make
them prospects for private banking services. Private banking is oriented to
servicing the financial needs of the affluent market as defined by individual
net income or wealth. Institutional trust and investment management activities
involve providing companies, municipalities and other entities a wide spectrum
of investment management products and trust products such as master trust,
master custody, and corporate trust services, as well as administering and
serving as trustee for employee benefit plans. International finance and trade
services offer importers and exporters trade financing, letters of credit,
foreign exchange and international customhouse brokerage and freight forwarding
products. The core businesses are tailored to each of Comerica's four primary
geographic markets: the Midwest (currently Michigan and Illinois), Texas,
California and Florida. The Midwest is the only market in which all five core
businesses are currently pursued. In California and Texas the primary focus is
on corporate banking and private banking activities. In Florida the primary
focus is on private banking.

ACQUISITIONS

On July 17, 1992, Comerica entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with
Hibernia Corporation, a Louisiana corporation and a registered bank holding
company, for the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
Hibernia National Bank in Texas, a national banking association ("Hibernia
Bank"). The transaction was closed on December 31, 1992, with Comerica paying a
purchase price of approximately $56 million in cash. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase. As of March 31, 1993, Hibernia Bank had total
assets of approximately $787 million. In May 1993, Hibernia Bank was merged
into Comerica Bank-Texas, a Texas chartered bank and a wholly owned subsidiary
of Comerica.

On September 24, 1992, Comerica entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
with Sugar Creek National Bank ("Sugar Creek") for the acquisition by Comerica
of Sugar Creek in exchange for Comerica common stock having a market value of
approximately $28 million. Sugar Creek was a national banking association with
offices in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area. The transaction was closed on
February 25, 1993 and was accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method.
At September 30, 1993, Sugar Creek had total assets of approximately $205
million. Sugar Creek merged into Comerica Bank-Texas in November 1993.

On November 4, 1992, Comerica entered into Agreements and Plans of
Reorganization and Merger with Nasher Financial Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Nasher"), and NorthPark National Corporation, a Delaware
corporation and a registered bank holding company ("NNC"), for the acquisition
by Comerica of those two companies in exchange for Comerica common stock having
a market value of approximately $79 million. Nasher's sole asset was
approximately 29 percent of the outstanding common stock of NNC. NNC owned
NorthPark National Bank of Dallas, a national banking association with one
office in the Dallas, Texas area. The transaction was closed on May 28, 1993
and was accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method. At June 30, 1993,
NNC had consolidated assets of approximately $696 million. In August 1993,
NorthPark National Bank of Dallas was merged into Comerica Bank-Texas.

On September 8, 1993, Comerica, Pacific Western Bancshares, Inc., a Delaware
Corporation and bank holding company ("PAC WEST"), Pacific Western Bank, a
California state

1

Form 10-K Comerica Incorporated and Subsidiaries

chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of PAC WEST ("PWB"),
and Comerica California Incorporated, a California corporation, bank holding
company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation ("COM CAL"), entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger providing for, among
other things, the merger of COM CAL into PAC WEST (the "Merger") with PAC WEST
being the surviving corporation under the charter and bylaws of COM CAL and the
name "Comerica California Incorporated." Subsequent to the Merger, PWB may, at
the Corporation's election, be merged into a subsidiary of Comerica. PAC WEST
shareholders will receive approximately 4,585,000 shares of Comerica common
stock. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to be
completed in the spring of 1994. As of December 31, 1993, PAC WEST had total
assets of approximately $1 billion.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

Banks, bank holding companies and financial institutions are highly regulated
at both the state and federal level. As a bank holding company, Comerica is
subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Reserve Board under the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act"). Under the Act, the
Corporation is prohibited, with certain exceptions, from acquiring or retaining
direct or indirect ownership or control of voting shares of any company which
is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging in activities other
than those of banking or of managing or controlling banks, other than
subsidiary companies and activities which the Federal Reserve Board determines
to be so closely related to the business of banking as to be a proper incident
thereto.

Comerica Bank is chartered by the State of Michigan and is supervised and
regulated by the Financial Institutions Bureau of the State of Michigan.
Comerica Bank-Texas is chartered by the State of Texas and is supervised and
regulated by the Texas Department of Banking.

Comerica Bank-Midwest, N.A. is chartered under federal law and subject to
supervision and regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
Comerica Bank-California is chartered and regulated by the State of California.
Comerica Bank & Trust, FSB is chartered under federal law and subject to
supervision and regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Comerica
Bank-Illinois is chartered by the State of Illinois and is regulated by the
State of Illinois Commissioner of Banks and Trust Companies.

Comerica Bank, Comerica Bank-Illinois and Comerica Bank-Midwest, N.A. are
members of the Federal Reserve System. State member banks are also regulated by
the Federal Reserve Bank and state non-member banks are also regulated by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The deposits of all the banks are
insured by the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation to the extent provided by law.

Comerica is a legal entity separate and distinct from its banking and
other subsidiaries. Most of Comerica's revenues result from dividends paid to
it by its bank subsidiaries. There are statutory and regulatory requirements
applicable to the payment of dividends by subsidiary banks to Comerica as well
as by Comerica to its shareholders.

Dividends

Each state bank subsidiary that is a member of the Federal Reserve System and
each national banking association is required by federal law to obtain the
prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board or the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency, as the case may be, for the declaration and payment of dividends
if the total of all dividends declared by the board of directors of such bank
in any year will exceed the total of (i) such bank's net profits (as defined
and interpreted by regulation) for that year plus (ii) the retained net profits
(as defined and interpreted by regulation) for the preceding two years, less
any required transfers to surplus. In addition, these banks may only pay
dividends to the extent that retained net profits (including the portion
transferred to surplus) exceed bad debts (as defined by regulation).

Under the foregoing dividend restrictions, at January 1, 1994 Comerica's
subsidiary banks, without obtaining governmental approvals, could declare
aggregate dividends of approximately $273 million from retained net profits of
the preceding two years, plus an amount approximately equal to the net profits
(as measured under current regulations), if any, earned for the period from
January 1, 1994 through the date of declaration. Dividends paid to Comerica by
its subsidiary banks amounted to $311 million in 1993 and $60 million in 1992.

FIRREA

Recent banking legislation, including the Financial Institutions Reform and
Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), has broadened the
regulatory powers of the federal bank regulatory agencies. Under FIRREA, a
depository institution insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(the "FDIC") can be held liable for any loss incurred by, or reasonably
expected to be incurred by, the FDIC in connection with (i) the default of a
commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution, or (ii) any assistance
provided by the FDIC to any commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository
institution "in danger of default." "Default" is defined generally as the
appointment of a conservator or receiver and "in danger of default" is defined
generally as the existence of certain conditions indicating that a default is
likely to occur in the absence of regulatory assistance.

FDICIA

In December 1991, FDICIA was enacted, substantially revising the bank
regulatory and funding provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and
making revisions to several other federal banking statutes.

Among other things, FDICIA requires the federal banking agencies to take
"prompt corrective action" in respect of depository institutions that do not
meet minimum capital requirements. FDICIA establishes five capital tiers: "well
capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly
undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized." A depository institution's
capital tier will depend upon where its capital levels are in relation to
various relevant capital measures, which will include a risk-based capital
measure and a leverage ratio capital measure, and certain other factors.

Regulations establishing the specific capital tiers have been issued in final
form. Under these regulations, for an institution to be well capitalized it
must have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10 percent, a Tier 1
risk-based capital ratio of at least 6 percent, a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at
least 5 percent, and not be subject to any specific capital order or directive.
For an institution to be adequately capitalized it must have a total risk-based
capital ratio of at least 8 percent, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at
least 4 percent, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 4 percent (and in some
cases 3 percent). Under these regulations, the banking subsidiaries of Comerica
would be considered to be well capitalized as of December 31, 1993.

FDICIA generally prohibits a depository institution from making any capital
distribution (including payment of a dividend) or paying any management fee to
its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be
undercapitalized. Undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to
growth limitations and are required to submit a capital restoration plan. The
federal banking agencies may not accept a capital plan without determining,
among other things, that the plan is based on realistic assumptions and is
likely to succeed in restoring the depository institution's capital. In
addition, for a capital restoration plan to be acceptable, the depository
institution's parent holding company must guarantee that the institution will
comply with such capital restoration plan. The aggregate liability of the
parent holding company under the guaranty is limited to the lesser of (i) an
amount equal to 5 percent of the depository institution's total assets at the
time it became undercapitalized, and (ii) the amount that is necessary (or
would have been

2
4
necessary) to bring the institution into compliance with all
capital standards applicable with respect to such institution as of the time it
fails to comply with the plan. If a depository institution fails to submit an
acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is significantly undercapitalized.
Loans to an undercapitalized institution from its Federal Reserve Bank are
generally restricted.

Significantly undercapitalized depository institutions may be subject to a
number of requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient
voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce total
assets and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks.
Critically undercapitalized institutions are subject to the appointment of a
receiver or conservator.

Under FDICIA, the FDIC is permitted to provide financial assistance to an
insured bank before appointment of a conservator or receiver only if (i) such
assistance would be the least costly method of meeting the FDIC's insurance
obligations, (ii) grounds for appointment of a conservator or a receiver exist
or are likely to exist, (iii) it is unlikely that the bank can meet all capital
standards without assistance and (iv) the bank's management has been competent,
has complied with applicable laws, regulations, rules and supervisory
directives and has not engaged in any insider dealing, speculative practice or
other abusive activity.

FDICIA directs that each federal banking agency prescribe standards for
depository institutions and depository institution holding companies relating
to internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan
documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth,
compensation, a maximum ratio of classified assets to capital, minimum earnings
sufficient to absorb losses, a minimum ratio of market value to book value for
publicly traded shares and other standards as they deem appropriate. Because
most of such standards have not yet been established, management is unable to
assess their overall impact. However, it appears that the cost of compliance
will increase.

FDICIA also contains a variety of other provisions that may affect the
operations of depository institutions including new reporting requirements,
regulatory standards for real estate lending, "truth in savings" provisions,
the requirement that a depository institution give 90 days prior notice to
customers and regulatory authorities before closing any branch and a
prohibition on the acceptance or renewal of brokered deposits by depository
institutions that are not well capitalized or are adequately capitalized and
have not received a waiver from the FDIC. As of December 31, 1993, Comerica
Bank is well capitalized under regulations relating to the brokered deposit
prohibition and may accept brokered deposits without restrictions.

FDIC Insurance Assessments

Comerica's subsidiary banks are subject to FDIC deposit insurance assessments.
On September 15, 1992, the FDIC approved the implementation of a transitional
risk-based deposit premium assessment system under which each depository
institution is placed in one of the nine assessment categories based on certain
capital and supervisory measures. The assessment rates under the transitional
system range from .23 percent to .31 percent depending upon the assessment
category into which the insured institution is placed. The transitional
assessment system became effective January 1, 1993.

On June 17, 1993, the FDIC adopted a permanent risk-based assessment system for
assessment periods beginning on and after January 1, 1994. The system retains
the transitional system without substantial modification. It is possible that
BIF assessments will be further increased and it is possible that there may be
special additional assessments in the future. A significant increase in the
assessment rate or a special additional assessment could have an adverse impact
on Comerica's results of operations.

COMPETITION

Banking is a highly competitive business. The Michigan banking subsidiary of
the Corporation competes primarily with Detroit and outstate Michigan banks for
loans, deposits and trust accounts. Through its offices in Arizona, California,
Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Texas, Comerica competes with
other financial institutions for various types of loans. Through its Florida
subsidiary, Comerica competes with many companies, including financial
institutions, for trust business.

At year-end 1993, Comerica Incorporated was the second largest bank holding
company located in Michigan in terms of total assets and deposits. Based on
legislation passed during 1985 that allows Michigan-based banks to acquire or
be acquired by banks in states with similar laws in effect, the Corporation
believes that the level of competition in Michigan will increase in the future.
Comerica's banking subsidiaries also face competition from other financial
intermediaries, including savings and loan associations, consumer finance
companies, leasing companies and credit unions.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 1993, Comerica and its subsidiaries had 11,424 full-time and
1,763 part-time employees.

Item 2. Properties

The executive offices of the Corporation are located in the Comerica Tower at
Detroit Center in Detroit, Michigan. Comerica and its subsidiaries occupies 15
floors of the building, which it leases through Comerica Bank from an
unaffiliated third party. This lease extends through January 2007.

As of December 31, 1993, Comerica Bank operated 360 offices within the State of
Michigan, of which 260 were owned and 100 were leased. Seven other banking
affiliates operate 107 offices in California, Florida, Illinois and Texas. The
affiliates own 34 of their offices and lease 73 offices. One banking affiliate
also operates from leased space in Toledo, Ohio.

In addition, the Corporation owns an operations and check processing center in
Livonia, Michigan and a ten-story building in the central business district of
Detroit that houses certain departments of the Corporation and Comerica Bank.

In 1983, Comerica entered into a sale/leaseback agreement with an unaffiliated
party covering an operations center which was built in Auburn Hills, Michigan,
and now is occupied by various departments of the Corporation and Comerica
Bank.

Item 5. Market for Corporation's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

The common stock of Comerica Incorporated is traded on the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE Trading Symbol: CMA). At January 31, 1994, there were
approximately 14,420 holders of the Corporation's common stock.

Quarterly cash dividends were declared during 1993 and 1992 totaling $1.07 and
$.96 per common share per year, respectively.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low
sale prices per share of the Corporation's common stock as reported on the NYSE
Composite Transactions Tape for all quarters of 1993 and 1992. All of the
prices are adjusted for the January 4, 1993 two-for-one stock split.
