Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Employee Benefits Committee
Comerica Incorporated Preferred Savings Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of the Comerica Incorporated Preferred Savings Plan as of December 31, 2004 and December 30, 2003, and the related statement of changes in assets available for benefits for the period ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2004 and December 30, 2003, and the changes in its assets available for benefits for the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets (held at end of period) as of December 31, 2004, and reportable transactions for the period then ended, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Comerica Incorporated Preferred Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2004 and December 30, 2003, and
Period Ended December 31, 2004
1. Description of the Plan
The Comerica Incorporated Preferred Savings Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible employees of Comerica Incorporated (the Corporation) and certain subsidiaries.
Information about the Plan agreement, participants investment alternatives and the vesting and benefit provisions is contained in the summary plan description captioned Comerica Incorporated Preferred Savings Plan. Copies of this summary plan description are available through the Corporations Human Resources Office.
Participants may make annual contributions to the Plan on a pre-tax basis, not to exceed the lesser of 50%, of the participants annual compensation or the IRS allowed maximum ($13,000, plus an additional $3,000 for participants age 50 or over, in 2004, and $12,000, plus an additional $2,000 for participants age 50 or over, in 2003).
The Corporation will match a percentage of the first $3,000 of the participants pre-tax contributions, as defined by the Plan. In addition, the Corporation may make discretionary contributions based upon attaining certain corporate financial performance measurements. Both the Corporation match and discretionary contribution are invested in the Corporations common stock.
Participants investments in the Corporations common stock, including vested corporate matching contributions, are held in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Participants may elect to either reinvest the dividends in the Corporations common stock within the Plan or receive the dividends as cash with their regular pay.
Contributions receivable represent amounts due from the Corporation under a performance match program, which rewards employees through a corporate contribution to the participants accounts.
Participants direct the investment of their accounts, except the current periods nonparticipant directed investment in the Corporations common stock, among the investment funds offered by the Plan. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants account.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2004 and December 30, 2003, and
Period Ended December 31, 2004
1. Description of the Plan (continued)
The Corporations matching contributions based on the first $3,000 of the participants pretax contributions are held in a restricted Comerica Incorporated common stock account until the end of the calendar year, when the assets held in such account become unrestricted and, therefore, eligible to be reallocated by the participants to other fund options. Approximately $7.9 million of restricted common stock was transferred to unrestricted funds during the plan period ended December 31, 2004.
Unallocated matching employer contributions resulting from employee forfeitures are retained in the Plan and used to reduce future employer contributions. Employee forfeitures during the period are included in employer contributions in the accompanying statement of changes in assets available for benefits and are primarily retained in the Comerica Incorporated Stock Fund balance as of December 31, 2004.
The following table presents a summary of changes in unallocated matching employer contributions during the plan period:
Balance at December 31, 2003 |
$ | 762,890 | ||
Employee forfeitures during the period |

$ | 612,546 | ||
The Corporation has the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. In the event the Plan is terminated, all participants accounts become fully vested and nonforfeitable.
Effective January 1, 2004, the Plan year changed to a calendar year ending December 31. Transactions occurring on December 31, 2003 are included in the plan period ended December 31, 2004.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The fair values of the participation units owned by the Plan in mutual and collective trust funds are based on the net asset values on the last business day of the plan period.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2004 and December 30, 2003, and
Period Ended December 31, 2004
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Marketable securities are stated at fair value. Securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the plan period. Investments traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the average of the last reported bid and ask prices.
The fair value of investments in the Corporations common stock is based on the last reported sales price on the last business day of the plan period as traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
The participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.
Administrative expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the Plan are borne by the Corporation, except for a $10 per quarter loan fee paid by participants for loans originated prior to July 1, 2004, which is reported in loan fees in the accompanying statement of changes in assets available for benefits. In addition, a one-time $50 loan application fee is charged directly to the participants account for each new loan.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. Investments
The fair value of individual investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan assets at the end of the respective periods are as follows:

Comerica Incorporated Preferred Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2004 and December 30, 2003, and
Period Ended December 31, 2004
6. Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated November 14, 2003, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.
7. Differences Between Financial Statements and Form 5500
Amounts allocated to withdrawn participants are recorded on the Form 5500 for benefit claims that have been processed and approved for payment prior to period-end but not yet paid. Amounts allocated on Form 5500 to withdrawn participants at December 31, 2004 and December 30, 2003, respectively, were $2,739,391 and $2,522,459.
8. Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of assets available for benefits.
9. Corrective Contribution
As a result of a Department of Labor finding in 2004 related to the method of payment of the participant loan origination fees from 1998 through 2003, the Corporation made a corrective contribution to the Plan of $403,800 in 2004. The amount is reported as a corrective contribution in the accompanying statement of changes in assets available for benefits for the period ended December 31, 2004.
