Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Comerica Incorporated and Subsidiaries

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. Certain items in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report of Comerica Incorporated and Subsidiaries (the “Corporation”) on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Loan Reclassification

The Corporation issues personal purpose loans to individuals associated with commercial lending relationships. These loans, and their associated interest income, were previously classified with commercial loans. In the second quarter of 2004, the Corporation reclassified its personal purpose loans to residential mortgage loans and consumer loans. The financial statements and associated schedules for prior periods have been adjusted to reflect this reclassification. The impact on loan balances at December 31, 2003 was a decrease in commercial loans of approximately $1.4 billion, offset by increases in residential mortgage loans and consumer loans of approximately $0.4 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively.

Derivative and Foreign Exchange Contracts

The Corporation uses derivative financial instruments, including foreign exchange contracts, to manage the Corporation’s exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risks. All derivative instruments are carried at fair value as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument is determined by whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that qualify as hedging instruments, the Corporation designates the hedging instrument as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. For further information, see Note 8.

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies (continued)

Stock-Based Compensation

In 2002, the Corporation adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure”), which the Corporation is applying prospectively to all stock-based compensation awards granted to employees after December 31, 2001. Options granted prior to January 1, 2002 continue to be accounted for under the intrinsic value method, as outlined in APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” The effect on net income and earnings per share, if the fair value method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period, is presented in the table below. For further information on the Corporation’s stock-based compensation plans, refer to Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements in the Corporation’s 2003 Annual Report.

Note 2 - Investment Securities

At June 30, 2004, investment securities having a carrying value of $1,507 million were pledged where permitted or required by law to secure liabilities and public and other deposits of $367 million. This included securities of $917 million pledged with the Federal Reserve Bank to secure liabilities of $2 million at June 30, 2004, and up to an additional $848 million. The remaining pledged securities of $590 million are primarily with state and local government agencies to secure $365 million of deposits and other liabilities, including deposits of the State of Michigan of $146 million at June 30, 2004.

Note 3 - Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” considers a loan impaired when it is probable that interest and principal payments will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Consistent with this definition, all nonaccrual and reduced-rate loans (with the exception of residential mortgage and consumer loans) are impaired. Impaired loans that are restructured and meet the requirements to be on accrual status are included with total impaired loans for the remainder of the calendar year of the restructuring. There were no loans included in the $399 million of impaired loans at June 30, 2004 that were restructured and met the requirements to be on accrual status. Impaired loans averaged $448 million and $477 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004, compared to $607 million and $603 million, respectively, for the comparable periods last year. The following presents information regarding the period-end balances of impaired loans:

(in millions) Six Months Ended — June 30, 2004 Year Ended — December 31, 2003
Total period-end impaired loans $ 399 $ 512
Less: Impaired loans restructured during the
period on accrual status at period-end — (14 )
Total period-end nonaccrual business loans $ 399 $ 498
Period-end impaired loans requiring an allowance $ 361 $ 480
Allowance allocated to impaired loans $ 90 $ 167

Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value exceeded the recorded investments in such loans.

Note 4 - Medium- and Long-term Debt

Medium- and long-term debt consisted of the following at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003:

(dollar amounts in millions) June 30, 2004 December 31, 2003

Variable rate note due 2009 22 22
Total subsidiaries 3,784 3,975
Total medium- and long-term debt $ 4,597 $ 4,801

The carrying value of medium- and long-term debt has been adjusted to reflect the gain or loss attributable to the risk hedged. In May 2004, Comerica Bank, a subsidiary of Comerica Incorporated, issued $250 million of 5.70% Subordinated Notes which are classified in medium- and long-term debt. The notes pay interest on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning with December 1, 2004, and mature June 1, 2014. Comerica Bank used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

Note 5 - Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is computed by applying statutory federal income tax rates to income before income taxes as reported in the financial statements after deducting non-taxable items, principally income on bank-owned life insurance and interest income on state and municipal securities. State and foreign taxes are then added to the federal provision.

Note 6 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income includes the change in net unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available-for-sale, the change in accumulated gains and losses on cash flow hedges, the change in the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment and the change in accumulated minimum pension liability adjustment. The Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity on page 5 include only combined other comprehensive income, net of tax. The following table presents reconciliations of the components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. Total comprehensive income totaled $198 million and $290 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $18 million and $159 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The $92 million decrease in total comprehensive income in the six month period ended June 30, 2004 when compared to the same period in the prior year resulted principally from an increase in net unrealized losses on investment securities available-for-sale ($50 million), due to changes in the interest rate environment, and an increase in net unrealized losses on cash flow hedges ($44 million).

(1) Notional or contract amounts, which represent the extent of involvement in the derivatives market, are generally used to determine the contractual cash flows required in accordance with the terms of the agreement. These amounts are typically not exchanged, significantly exceed amounts subject to credit or market risk, and are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets.

(2) Unrealized gains represent receivables from derivative counterparties, and therefore exposes the Corporation to credit risk. This risk is measured as the cost to replace, at current market rates, contracts in a profitable position. Credit risk is calculated before consideration is given to bilateral collateral agreements or master netting arrangements that effectively reduce credit risk.

(3) The fair values of derivatives and foreign exchange contracts generally represent the estimated amounts the Corporation would receive or pay to terminate or otherwise settle the contracts at the balance sheet date. The fair values of all derivatives and foreign exchange contracts are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 8 - Derivatives and Foreign Exchange Contracts (continued)

Risk Management

Fluctuations in net interest income due to interest rate risk result from the composition of assets and liabilities and the mismatches in the timing of the repricing of these assets and liabilities. In addition, external factors such as interest rates, and the dynamics of yield curve and spread relationships can affect net interest income. The Corporation utilizes simulation analyses to project the sensitivity of the Corporation’s net interest income to changes in interest rates. Foreign exchange rate risk arises from changes in the value of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The Corporation employs cash instruments, such as investment securities, as well as derivative financial instruments and foreign exchange contracts, to manage exposure to these and other risks, including liquidity risk.

As an end-user, the Corporation accesses the interest rate markets to obtain derivative instruments for use principally in connection with asset and liability management activities. As part of a fair value hedging strategy, the Corporation has entered into interest rate swap agreements for interest rate risk management purposes. The interest rate swap agreements effectively modify the Corporation’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting fixed-rate deposits and debt to a floating rate. These agreements involve the receipt of fixed rate interest amounts in exchange for floating rate interest payments over the life of the agreement, without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. For instruments that support a fair value hedging strategy, no ineffectiveness was required to be recorded in the statement of income.

As part of a cash flow hedging strategy, the Corporation has entered into predominantly 2 to 3 year interest rate swap agreements (weighted average original maturity of 2.7 years) that effectively convert a portion of its existing and forecasted floating-rate loans to a fixed-rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest income over the next 2 to 3 years. Approximately 27 percent ($11 billion) of the Corporation’s outstanding loans were designated as the hedged items to interest rate swap agreements at June 30, 2004. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004, interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges increased interest and fees on loans by $57 million and $109 million, respectively, compared to $77 million and $169 million, respectively, for the comparable periods last year. Other noninterest income in both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 included $3 million of ineffective cash flow hedge losses. If interest rates, interest yield curves and notional amounts remain at their current levels, the Corporation expects to reclassify $50 million of net gains on derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings during the next twelve months due to receipt of variable interest associated with the existing and forecasted floating-rate loans.

In addition, the Corporation uses forward foreign exchange contracts to protect the value of its foreign currency investment in foreign subsidiaries. Realized and unrealized gains and losses from these hedges are not included in the statement of income, but are shown in the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment account included in other comprehensive income, with the related amounts due to or from counterparties included in other liabilities or other assets. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004, the Corporation recognized an immaterial amount of net gains in accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment, related to the forward foreign exchange contracts.

Management believes these strategies achieve the desired relationship between the rate maturities of assets and their funding sources which, in turn, reduces the overall exposure of net interest income to interest rate risk, although, there can be no assurance that such strategies will be successful. The Corporation also uses various other types of financial instruments to mitigate interest rate and foreign currency risks associated with specific assets or liabilities, which are reflected in the preceding table. Such instruments include interest rate caps and floors, foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign exchange option contracts and foreign exchange cross-currency swaps.

Note 8 - Derivatives and Foreign Exchange Contracts (continued)

The Corporation had commitments to purchase investment securities for its trading account and available-for- sale portfolios totaling $16 million at June 30, 2004 and $3 million at December 31, 2003. Commitments to sell investment securities related to the trading account totaled $16 million at June 30, 2004 and $2 million at December 31, 2003. Outstanding commitments expose the Corporation to both credit and market risk.

Customer-Initiated and Other

On a limited scale, fee income is earned from entering into various transactions, principally foreign exchange contracts and interest rate contracts at the request of customers. Market risk inherent in customer contracts is often mitigated by taking offsetting positions. The Corporation generally does not speculate in derivative financial instruments for the purpose of profiting in the short-term from favorable movements in market rates.

Fair values for customer-initiated and other derivative and foreign exchange contracts represent the net unrealized gains or losses on such contracts and are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated income statements. The following table provides the average unrealized gains and unrealized losses and noninterest income generated on customer-initiated and other interest rate contracts and foreign exchange contracts.

Note 9 - Standby and Commercial Letters of Credit and Financial Guarantees (continued)

Standby and commercial letters of credit and financial guarantees represent conditional obligations of the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. These contracts expire in decreasing amounts through the year 2012. Commercial letters of credit are issued to finance foreign or domestic trade transactions and are short-term in nature. The Corporation may enter into participation arrangements with third parties, that effectively reduce the maximum amount of future payments which may be required under standby letters of credit. These risk participations covered $455 million of the $6,257 million of standby letters of credit and financial guarantees outstanding at June 30, 2004. At June 30, 2004, the carrying value of the Corporation’s standby and commercial letters of credit and financial guarantees, which is included in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet, totaled $76 million.

Note 10 - Business Segment Information

The Corporation has strategically aligned its operations into three major lines of business: the Business Bank, Small Business and Personal Financial Services, and Wealth and Institutional Management. These lines of business are differentiated based on the products and services provided. In addition to the three major lines of business, the Finance Division is also reported as a segment. The Finance segment includes the Corporation’s securities portfolio and asset and liability management activities. This segment is responsible for managing the Corporation’s funding, liquidity and capital needs, performing interest sensitivity gap and earnings simulation analysis and executing various strategies to manage the Corporation’s exposure to liquidity, interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. The Other category includes divested business lines, the income and expense impact of equity, cash and loan loss reserves not assigned to specific business lines, tax benefits not assigned to specific business lines and miscellaneous other expenses of a corporate nature. The loan loss reserves include the portion of the allowance for loan losses allocated based on industry specific and geographic risks. Lines of business results are produced by the Corporation’s internal management accounting system. This system measures financial results based on the internal business unit structure of the Corporation. Information presented is not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial institution. The management accounting system assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each line of business using certain methodologies, which are constantly being refined. For comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on lines of business and methodologies in effect at June 30, 2004. These methodologies may be modified as management accounting systems are enhanced and changes occur in the organizational structure or product lines. For a description of the business activities of each line of business and the methodologies, which form the basis for these results, refer to Note 26 in the Corporation’s 2003 Annual Report. In the second quarter of 2004, the Corporation changed the assumptions used in allocating internal funding credits for deposits to better capture the value of deposits in line of business and market segment reports. Accordingly, the Corporation has adjusted current and prior year information to reflect these new assumptions. A discussion of the financial results and the factors impacting performance for the six months ended June 30, 2004 can be found in the section entitled “Strategic Lines of Business” in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition”.

Note 11- Pending Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 106-1, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003,” subsequently revised in April 2004. The FSP permits a sponsor of a postretirement health care plan that provides a prescription drug benefit to make a one-time election to defer accounting for the effects of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) and requires certain disclosures pending issuance of accounting guidance for the federal subsidy resulting from the Act. The Act introduces a Medicare prescription drug benefit as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to the Medicare benefit. The Corporation elected to defer the accounting for the Act in accordance with FSP 106-1.

In May 2004, the FASB issued FSP 106-2, which provides guidance on the accounting for the federal subsidy resulting from the Act. The FSP requires the subsidy to be accounted for under current guidance for other postretirement benefits. As such, the effects of the subsidy on the benefits attributable to past services are accounted for as an actuarial gain. The Corporation’s entire postretirement prescription drug related liability is attributable to past services as the benefits were only provided to employees that retired prior to December 31, 1992. The FSP is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2004. The adoption of the provisions of the FSP is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operation.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Results of Operations

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was $192 million, an increase of $22 million, or 12 percent, from $170 million reported for the second quarter of 2003. Quarterly diluted net income per share increased 13 percent to $1.10 from $0.97 a year ago. Return on average common shareholders’ equity was 15.35 percent and return on average assets was 1.49 percent, compared to 13.51 percent and 1.27 percent, respectively, for the comparable quarter last year. The increase in earnings in the second quarter of 2004 over the comparable quarter last year resulted primarily from a $91 million decline in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by a $45 million decline in net interest income.

Net income for the first six months of 2004 was $2.02 per diluted share, or $354 million, compared to $1.97 per diluted share, or $346 million, for the comparable period last year, increases of three percent and two percent, respectively. Return on average common shareholders’ equity was 14.02 percent and return on average assets was 1.38 percent for the first six months of 2004, compared to 13.81 percent and 1.30 percent, respectively, for the first six months of 2003. The increase in earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2004 over the same period a year ago was due primarily to a $132 million decline in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by a $111 million decline in net interest income.

Net Interest Income

The rate-volume analysis in Table I details the components of the change in net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. On a FTE basis, net interest income decreased $46 million to $448 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, from $494 million for the comparable quarter in 2003. Average earning assets decreased four percent when compared to the second quarter of last year. The net interest margin decreased to 3.77 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2004, from 3.98 percent for the comparable three months of 2003. The decline in net interest margin was the result of the impact of interest rate swap maturities, loan spread compression and a higher short-term liquidity position held by the Corporation in the second quarter of 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. When the Corporation has high short-term liquidity, lower spread short-term investments increase as a percentage of average earning assets, thus negatively impacting net interest margin. The decline in net interest income in the second quarter 2004, when compared to the second quarter 2003, resulted from both the decrease in average earning assets and the decline in the net interest margin, as discussed above. For further discussion of the effects of market rates on net interest income, refer to “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”.

Table II provides an analysis of net interest income for the first six months of 2004. On a FTE basis, net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $894 million compared to $1,006 million for the same period in 2003. Average earning assets decreased four percent in the six months ended June 30, 2004 when compared to the same period in the prior year. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2004 decreased to 3.80 percent from 4.13 percent for the same period in 2003. The margin decline was due to the reasons cited in the quarterly discussion above and a restructuring of the investment portfolio, designed to achieve more consistent cash flows.

The Corporation continues to expect full-year 2004 net interest margin, on average, to be about 3.80%.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $20 million for the second quarter of 2004 compared to $111 million for the same period in 2003. The provision for the first six months of 2004 was $85 million compared to $217 million for the same period in 2003. The Corporation establishes this provision to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses, which is discussed in the section entitled “Allowance for Loan Losses and Nonperforming Assets.” The decrease in the provision for loan losses in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 over the comparable periods last year is primarily the result of improving credit quality trends, which are reflective of improved economic conditions in the Michigan market, where the Corporation has a geographic concentration of credit. Upturns in the Southeast Michigan Purchasing Management survey and Michigan Business Activity Indices began in the fourth quarter of 2003 and accelerated in the first half of 2004. Forward-looking indicators suggest this positive movement should continue for the remainder of 2004.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $228 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $2 million, or less than one percent, over the same period in 2003. Noninterest income in the second quarter 2004 included a net gain of $7 million on the sale of a portion of the Corporation’s merchant card processing business and $5 million of income distributions (net of write-downs) from venture capital and private equity investments, compared to a write-down (net of income distributions) of $3 million from venture capital and private equity investments in the second quarter 2003. The Corporation recognized $3 million of cash flow hedge ineffectiveness losses in the second quarter of 2004 and $9 million of such losses in the comparable quarter last year. Net securities gains in the second quarter 2004 contributed $1 million to noninterest income compared with net securities gains of $29 million in the second quarter of 2003.

For the first six months of 2004, noninterest income was $448 million, an increase of $2 million, or less than one percent, from the first six months of 2003. Noninterest income in the first six months of 2004 included the $7 million net gain on sale of business mentioned in the quarterly discussion above and $8 million of income distributions (net of write-downs) from venture capital and private equity investments, compared to a write-down (net of income distributions) of $8 million from venture capital and private equity investments for the first six months of 2003. The Corporation recognized $3 million of cash flow hedge ineffectiveness losses in both the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The first six months of 2004 also included $6 million in net securities gains compared to $42 million for the comparable period of 2003

Management currently expects low single digit noninterest income growth, excluding securities gains, in the full-year 2004 compared to 2003.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses were $372 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $12 million, or three percent, from the comparable quarter in 2003. The increase in noninterest expenses is primarily due to an increase in salary and employee benefits expenses that resulted from annual merit increases, and increased stock compensation and severance expenses, partially offset by a full-time equivalent employee reduction in staff size of approximately 370 employees from June 30, 2003 to June 30, 2004. Severance expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $4 million, compared to less than $1 million for the same period in 2003.

Noninterest expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were $741 million, an increase of $14 million, or two percent, from the first six months of 2003. This increase was primarily due to an increase in salary and employee benefits expenses for the reasons cited in the quarterly discussion above and increased levels of management incentive expense. For the first six months of 2004, severance expense was $7 million, compared to less than $1 million for the same period in 2003.

Management is currently targeting to reduce full-year 2004 noninterest expenses by $5 million - $10 million from 2003 levels, excluding severance expenses. Management expects total noninterest expenses, including severance expenses, to hold flat with 2003.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2004 was $92 million, compared to $78 million for

the same period a year ago. The effective tax rate was 32 percent for the second quarter of 2004 compared to 31 percent for the same quarter of 2003. The provision for the first six months of 2004 was $161 million compared to $160 million for the same period in 2003. The effective tax rate was 31 percent for the first six months of 2004 compared to 32 percent for the first six months of 2003. Taxes in the first six months of 2004 were reduced by a $4 million (after-tax) adjustment to the state tax reserves that resulted from the first quarter of 2004 settlement of a tax liability with the state of California. Management currently expects the effective tax rate to be 31 percent to 32 percent for the full-year 2004.

Strategic Lines of Business

The Corporation’s operations are strategically aligned into three major lines of business: the Business Bank, Small Business and Personal Financial Services, and Wealth and Institutional Management. These lines of business are differentiated based on the products and services provided. In addition to the three major lines of business, the Finance Division is also reported as a segment. The Other category includes items not directly associated with these lines of business or the Finance Division. Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements presents financial results of these businesses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. For a description of the business activities of each line of business and the methodologies, which form the basis for these results, refer to Note 26 in the Corporation’s 2003 Annual Report. In the second quarter of 2004, the Corporation changed the assumptions used in allocating internal funding credits for deposits to better capture the value of deposits in line of business and market segment reports. Accordingly, the Corporation has adjusted current and prior year information to reflect these new assumptions.

The following table presents net income (loss) by line of business.

(dollar amounts in millions) Six Months Ended — June 30, 2004 June 30, 2003
Business Bank $ 339 71 % $ 294 72 %
Small Business and Personal Financial Services 103 21 89 22
Wealth and Institutional Management 38 8 25 6
480 100 % 408 100 %
Finance (81 ) (22 )
Other (45 ) (40 )
$ 354 $ 346

The Business Bank’s net income increased $45 million, or 15 percent, to $339 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003. Contributing to this increase was a $121 million decline in the provision for loan losses, primarily the result of improving credit quality trends, as discussed in “Provision for Loan Losses” above. Also contributing was a $22 million increase in noninterest income, primarily due to a $16 million increase in income distributions (net of write-downs) from venture capital and private equity investments. These increases were partially offset by an $83 million (11 percent) decline in net interest income, primarily due to a $3.1 billion (9 percent) decline in average loans and lower funding credits received on liabilities and equity.

Small Business and Personal Financial Services’ net income increased $14 million, or 15 percent, to $103 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in net income was primarily the result of a $9 million decline in the provision for loan losses and a $7 million net gain on the sale of a portion of the Corporation’s merchant card processing business.

Wealth and Institutional Management’s net income increased $13 million, or 54 percent, to $38 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in net income was primarily the result of a $10 million increase in noninterest income, largely due to market-related fees, and a $7 million decrease in the provision for loan losses.

The net loss for the Finance division was $81 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to a net loss of $22 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. The higher net loss resulted primarily from a $40 million decline in net securities gains and a $30 million decline in net interest income, primarily due to lower hedging income, partially offset by a decrease in the net credit for funds paid to the other business units.

The net loss for the Other category was $45 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to a net loss of $40 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Market Segments

The Corporation’s management accounting system also produces market segment results for the Corporation’s four primary geographic regions: Midwest and Other Markets, Western, Texas, and Florida. Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements presents financial results of these market segments for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

The following table reflects the Corporation’s net income, excluding Finance and Other Businesses, represented by the Midwest and Other Markets, Western, Texas, and Florida regions for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

(dollar amounts in millions) Six Months Ended — June 30, 2004 June 30, 2003
Midwest and Other Markets $ 292 61 % $ 221 54 %
Western 137 28 137 34
Texas 42 9 42 10
Florida 9 2 8 2
480 100 % 408 100 %
Finance and Other Businesses (126 ) (62 )
$ 354 $ 346

Midwest and Other Markets’ net income increased $71 million, or 31 percent, to $292 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003. Contributing to this increase was a $134 million decline in the provision for loan losses, primarily the result of improving credit quality trends, as discussed in “Provision for Loan Losses” above. Also contributing was a $22 million increase in noninterest income, primarily due to a $13 million increase in income distributions (net of write-downs) from venture capital and private equity investments. These increases were partially offset by a $51 million (9 percent) decline in net interest income, primarily due to a $2.1 billion (8 percent) decline in average loans and lower funding credits received on liabilities and equity.

The Western region’s net income was unchanged at $137 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2004 and the six months ended June 30, 2003. Noninterest income increased $14 million and noninterest expenses decreased $12 million, offset by a decrease in net interest income of $26 million, primarily due to a $717 million (6 percent) decline in average loans.

The Texas region’s net income was unchanged at $42 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2004 and the six months ended June 30, 2003. Modest improvements in the provision for loan losses, noninterest income and noninterest expenses were offset by a decline in net interest income, primarily due to a $733 million (16 percent) decrease in average deposits, which reduced the region’s funding credits.

The Florida region’s net income increased $1 million, or 12 percent, to $9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003.

The net loss for the Finance and Other Businesses segment was $126 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to a net loss of $62 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. The higher net loss resulted primarily from a $40 million decline in net securities gains and a $23 million decline in net interest income, primarily due to lower hedging income, partially offset by a decrease in the net credit for funds paid to the other business units.

Financial Condition

Total assets were $54.5 billion at June 30, 2004 compared with $52.6 billion at year-end 2003 and $58.7 billion at June 30, 2003. Total loans declined less than one percent since December 31, 2003. Within loans, on an average basis, there was growth in the National Dealer Services (16 percent) and Private Banking (6 percent) loan portfolios, from the fourth quarter 2003 to the second quarter 2004. Average loans declined in the same periods in the Global Corporate Banking (10 percent) and the Specialty Businesses (5 percent) loan portfolios. Short-term investments increased $2.0 billion from December 31, 2003 to June 30, 2004 as a result of the significant increase in short-term deposits discussed below.

Management currently expects total loans, on average, to be slightly lower in 2004, when compared to 2003

levels, although 2004 year-end loan balances are expected to increase in the low single digits from 2003 year-end balances.

Total liabilities increased $2.1 billion, or four percent, from $47.5 billion at December 31, 2003, to $49.6 billion at June 30, 2004. Total deposits increased six percent to $43.9 billion at June 30, 2004, from $41.5 billion at year-end. Deposits in the Corporation’s Financial Services Group, which benefit from high home mortgage financing and refinancing activity and some of which are not expected to be long-lived, increased to $10.0 billion at June 30, 2004 from $7.0 billion at December 31, 2003, primarily due to strong mortgage business activity. Medium- and long-term debt decreased $204 million to $4.6 billion at June 30, 2004, as a result the maturity of $500 million of medium-term notes, partially offset by the issuance of $250 million of subordinated notes in the second quarter of 2004.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Nonperforming Assets

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s assessment of probable losses inherent in the Corporation’s loan portfolio. The allowance provides for probable losses that have been identified with specific customer relationships and for probable losses believed to be inherent in the loan portfolio, but that have not been specifically identified. Internal risk ratings are assigned to each business loan at the time of approval and are subject to subsequent periodic reviews by senior management. The Corporation performs a detailed credit quality review quarterly on large business loans that have deteriorated below certain levels of credit risk, and may allocate a specific portion of the allowance to such loans based upon this review. The Corporation defines business loans as those belonging to the commercial, real estate construction, commercial mortgage, lease financing and international loan portfolios. A portion of the allowance is allocated to the remaining business loans by applying projected loss ratios, based on numerous factors identified below, to the loans within each risk rating. In addition, a portion of the allowance is allocated to these remaining loans based on industry specific and geographic risks inherent in certain portfolios, including portfolio exposures to automotive suppliers, retailers, contractors, technology-related, entertainment, and healthcare industries, small business administration loans and certain Latin American risks. The portion of the allowance allocated to loans originated in the Personal Financial Services division is determined by applying projected loss ratios to various segments of the loan portfolio. Projected loss ratios incorporate factors such as recent charge-off experience, current economic conditions and trends, trends with respect to past due and nonaccrual amounts, and are supported by underlying analysis, including information from certain portfolios on migration and loss given default studies from each geographic market. The allocated portion of the allowance was $713 million at June 30, 2004, a decrease of $49 million from December 31, 2003.

Actual loss ratios experienced in the future may vary from those projected. The uncertainty occurs because factors affecting the determination of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio may exist which are not necessarily captured by the application of projected loss ratios or identified industry specific and geographic risks. An unallocated portion of the allowance is maintained to capture these probable losses. The unallocated allowance reflects management’s view that the allowance should recognize the margin for error inherent in the process of estimating expected loan losses. Factors that were considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the Corporation’s unallocated allowance include the imprecision in the risk rating system and the risk associated with new customer relationships. The unallocated portion of the allowance was $49 million at June 30, 2004, an increase of $8 million from December 31, 2003.

The total allowance, including the unallocated amount, is available to absorb losses from any segment within the portfolio. Unanticipated economic events, including political, economic and regulatory stability in countries where the Corporation has a concentration of loans, could cause changes in the credit characteristics of the portfolio and result in an unanticipated increase in the allocated allowance. Inclusion of other industry specific and geographic portfolio exposures in the allocated allowance, as well as significant increases in the current portfolio exposures, could also increase the amount of the allocated allowance. Any of these events, or some combination, may result in the need for additional provision for loan losses in order to maintain an adequate allowance.

At June 30, 2004, the allowance for loan losses was $762 million, a decrease of $41 million from $803 million at December 31, 2003. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total period-end loans decreased to 1.90 percent from 1.99 percent at December 31, 2003. The Corporation also had an allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments of $28 million and $33 million, at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, which is recorded in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets. These lending-related commitments include unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit.

Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2004 were $430 million, as compared to $538 million at December 31, 2003,

Shared National Credit Program (SNC) loans comprised approximately 13 percent of total nonperforming loans at June 30, 2004 and 20 percent at December 31, 2003. SNC loans are facilities greater than $20 million shared by three or more federally supervised financial institutions which are reviewed by regulatory authorities at the agent bank level. SNC loans comprised approximately 14 percent of total loans at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. Of the $63 million of loans greater than $2 million transferred to nonaccrual status in the second quarter of 2004, $17 million were SNC loans. SNC loans comprised approximately $3 million of second quarter 2004 total net charge-offs.

Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2004 were $56 million, or 0.55 percent of average total loans, compared with $110 million, or 1.02 percent, for the second quarter of 2003. The carrying value of nonaccrual loans as a percentage of contractual value declined to 52 percent at June 30, 2004 compared to 58 percent at December 31, 2003. The provision for loan losses was $20 million for the second quarter of 2004, compared to $111 million for the same period in 2003.

Management currently expects continued improvement in credit quality throughout 2004, with full-year 2004 average net charge-offs expected to be approximately 50-55 basis points.

Capital

Common shareholders’ equity was $4.9 billion at June 30, 2004, a decrease of $176 million from December 31, 2003. Common shareholders’ equity in the first six months of 2004 was affected by the retention of $174 million of retained earnings (net income less cash dividends declared), the recognition of stock-based compensation and the effect of employee stock plan activity, which increased common shareholders’ equity by $20 million and $33 million, respectively; a $156 million decline in accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from an increase in net unrealized losses on investment securities available-for-sale, due to changes in the interest rate environment, and a decrease in accumulated net gains on cash flow hedges; and a $247 million reduction resulting from the repurchase of approximately 4.5 million common shares in the open market. See “Part II. Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds” for information regarding the Corporation’s stock repurchases.

The Corporation’s capital ratios exceed minimum regulatory requirements as follows:

2004 2003
Tier 1 common capital ratio 8.00 % 8.04 %
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (4.00% - minimum) 8.64 8.72
Total risk-based capital ratio (8.00% - minimum) 12.91 12.71
Leverage ratio (3.00% - minimum) 9.97 10.13

At June 30, 2004, the Corporation and its banking subsidiaries exceeded the ratios required to be considered “well capitalized” (total risk-based capital, tier 1 risk-based capital and leverage ratios greater than 10 percent, 6 percent and 5 percent, respectively).

Critical Accounting Policies

The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the application of accounting policies, the most significant of which are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Corporation’s 2003 Annual Report, as updated in Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this report. These policies require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions, which may prove inaccurate or subject to variations. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions or estimates could have a material impact on the Corporation’s future financial condition and results of operations. The most critical of these significant accounting policies are the policies for allowance for loan losses, pension plan accounting and goodwill. These policies are reviewed with the Audit and Legal Committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors and are discussed more fully on pages 53-55 of the Corporation’s 2003 Annual Report. As of the date of this report, the Corporation does not believe that there has been a material change in the nature or categories of its critical accounting policies or its estimates and assumptions from those discussed in its 2003 Annual Report.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Net interest income is the predominant source of revenue for the Corporation. Interest rate risk arises primarily through the Corporation’s core business activities of extending loans and accepting deposits. The Corporation actively manages its material exposure to interest rate risk. Management attempts to evaluate the effect of movements in interest rates on net interest income and uses interest rate swaps and other instruments to manage its interest rate risk exposure. The primary tool used by the Corporation in determining its exposure to interest rate risk is net interest income simulation analysis. The net interest income simulation analysis performed at the end of each quarter reflects changes to both interest rates and loan, investment and deposit volumes. Management evaluates “base” net interest income under what is believed to be the most likely balance sheet structure and interest rate environment. This “base” net interest income is then evaluated against interest rate scenarios that increase and decrease 200 basis points (but no lower than zero percent) from the most likely rate environment. For purposes of this analysis, the rise or decline in short-term interest rates occurs ratably over four months. The measurement of risk exposure at June 30, 2004 for a decline in short-term interest rates to zero percent identified approximately $68 million, or four percent, of forecasted net interest income at risk over the next 12 months. If short-term interest rates rise 200 basis points, forecasted net interest income would be enhanced by approximately $99 million, or five percent. Corresponding measures of risk exposure at December 31, 2003 were approximately $41 million of net interest income at risk for a decline in rates to zero percent and an approximately $82 million enhancement of net interest income for a 200 basis point rise in rates. Corporate policy limits adverse change to no more than five percent of management’s most likely net interest income forecast and the Corporation is operating within this policy guideline.

Secondarily, the Corporation utilizes an economic value of equity analysis and a traditional interest sensitivity gap measure as alternative measures of interest rate risk exposure. At June 30, 2004, all three measures of interest rate risk were within established corporate policy guidelines.

At June 30, 2004, the Corporation had a $128 million portfolio of indirect (through funds) private equity and venture capital investments, and had commitments of $56 million to fund additional investments in future periods. The value of these investments is at risk to changes in equity markets, general economic conditions and a variety other factors. The majority of these investments are not marketable and are reported in other assets. The investments are individually reviewed for impairment on a quarterly basis, by comparing the carrying value to the estimated fair value. The Corporation bases estimates of fair value for the majority of its indirect private equity and venture capital investments on the percentage ownership in the fair value of the entire fund, as reported by the fund management. In general, the Corporation does not have the benefit of the same information regarding the fund’s underlying investments as does fund management. Therefore, after indication that fund management adheres to accepted, sound and recognized valuation techniques, the Corporation generally utilizes the fair values assigned to the underlying portfolio investments by fund management. For those funds where fair value is not reported by fund management, the Corporation derives the fair value of the fund by estimating the fair value of each underlying investment in the fund. In addition to using qualitative information about each underlying investment, as provided by the fund management, the Corporation gives consideration to information pertinent to the specific nature of the debt or equity investment, such as relevant market conditions, offering prices, operating results, financial conditions, exit strategy, and other qualitative information, as available. The uncertainty in the economy and equity markets may continue to affect the values of the fund investments.

Certain components of the Corporation’s noninterest income, primarily fiduciary income and investment advisory revenue, are at risk to fluctuations in the market values of underlying assets, particularly equity securities. Other components of noninterest income, primarily brokerage fees, are at risk to changes in the level of market activity.

For further discussion of market risk, see Note 8 and pages 46-52 of the Corporation’s 2003 Annual Report.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on the evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls. During the period to which this report relates, there have not been significant deficiencies and/or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are

Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance.

In addition to factors mentioned elsewhere in this report or previously disclosed in the Corporation’s SEC reports (accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or on the Corporation’s website at www.comerica.com), the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance:

| • | general political, economic or industry conditions, either domestically or internationally, may be less favorable than
expected; |
| --- | --- |
| • | developments concerning credit quality in various industry sectors may result in an increase in the level of the
Corporation’s provision for credit losses, nonperforming assets, net charge-offs and reserve for credit losses; |
| • | demand for commercial loans and investment advisory products does not accelerate as expected; |
| • | the mix of interest rates and maturities of the Corporation’s interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities
(primarily loans and deposits) may be less favorable than expected; |
| • | interest rate margin compression may be greater than expected; |
| • | customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit practices generally may be less favorable than anticipated; |
| • | the introductions, withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives and strategies, including, but not limited to the
opening of new branches or private banking offices, and plans to grow personal financial services and wealth management; |
| • | competitive product and pricing pressures among financial institutions within the Corporation’s markets may increase; |
| • | instruments, systems and strategies used to hedge or otherwise manage exposure to various types of market, credit,
operational and enterprise-wide risk could be less effective than anticipated, and the Corporation may not be able to
effectively mitigate its risk exposures in particular market environments or against particular types of risk; and |
| • | terrorist activities or other hostilities, which may adversely affect the general economy, financial and capital markets,
specific industries, and the Corporation. |

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

The Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to various pending or threatened legal proceedings, including certain purported class actions, arising out of the normal course of business or operations. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, the Corporation cannot state what the eventual outcome of these matters will be. However, based on current knowledge and after consultation with legal counsel, management does not believe that the amount of any resulting liability arising from these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

On December 1, 2003, the Corporation announced it would resume its share repurchase program pursuant to its August 2001 Board of Directors’ resolutions, authorizing the repurchase of up to 10 million shares of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock. On March 23, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Corporation authorized the additional purchase of up to 10 million shares of Comerica Incorporated outstanding common stock. All share repurchases under the Corporation’s share repurchase program are transacted in the open market and are within the scope of Rule 10b-18, which provides a safe harbor for purchases in a given day if an issuer of equity securities satisfies the manner, timing, price and volume conditions of the rule when purchasing its own common shares in the open market.
