INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT



Board of Directors and Shareholders
Dearborn Bancorp, Inc.
Dearborn, Michigan


We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheets of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. as of
September 30, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income
and comprehensive income for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 2002 and 2001, and the related statements of cash flows for the nine month
periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

C. Stock Option Plan

Options to buy common stock are granted to officers and employees under
a Stock Option Plan which provides for issue of up to 578,813 shares.
Exercise price is the market price at date of grant. The maximum option
term is ten years, and options become exercisable six months after the
date of grant. If an option expires or terminates without having been
exercised, shares covered by such option becomes available for future
grant under the Plan.

A summary of the option activity for the nine months ended September
30, 2002 is as follows:



Weighted
Weighted Average Fair
Available Average Value of
For Options Exercise Options

For the options outstanding at September 30, 2002, the range of
exercise prices was $5.88 to $13.25 per share with a weighted-average
remaining contractual term of 7.6 years. At September 30, 2002, 420,141
options were exercisable at weighted average exercise price of $9.03
per share.

Had compensation cost for stock options been measured using the fair
value method of FASB Statement No. 123, net income and earnings per
share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 (in thousands, except per

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

The following discussion and analysis are intended to address significant
factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of the
Corporation. The discussion provides a more comprehensive review of the
financial position and operating results than can be obtained from a reading of
the financial statements and footnotes presented elsewhere in this report.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains forward-looking statements that are based on management's
beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the
financial services industry, the economy, and about the Corporation and Bank.
Words such as "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "expects", "forecasts",
"intends", "is likely", "plans", "projects", variations of such words and
similar expressions are intended to identify such forward- looking statements.
These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain
risks, uncertainties and assumptions ("Future Factors") that are difficult to
predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence.
Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be
expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. The Corporation
undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events (whether anticipated or
unanticipated), or otherwise.

Future Factors include changes in interest rates and interest rate
relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by
traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in banking regulation;
changes in tax laws; changes in prices, levies and assessments; the impact of
technological advances; governmental and regulatory policy changes; the outcomes
of contingencies; trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay
loans; and changes in the national and local economy. These are representative
of the Future Factors that could cause a difference between an ultimate actual
outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement.

GENERAL

The Corporation was formed in 1992 and the Bank was formed in 1993. Principal
operations of the Bank commenced on February 28, 1994 when the Bank opened for
business at its main office. Subsequently, branch offices were opened in
Dearborn Heights and Plymouth Township. During 2001, the Bank opened its fourth
and fifth offices, located at 1325 N. Canton Center Road, Canton Township,
Michigan and 45000 River Ridge Drive in Clinton Township, Michigan,
respectively. Additionally, Community Bank Mortgage, Inc., a mortgage company,
was formed and began operations in 2001. The Bank formed Community Bank Audit
Services, Inc., a subsidiary that offers internal audit and compliance services,
on March 26, 2002. Additionally, the Bank intends to open an office at 19100
Hall Road in Clinton Township during November of 2002 and an office at 12820
Fort Street in Southgate during the first quarter of 2003.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Corporation reported net income of $868,000 and $1,871,000 for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, compared to net income of $401,000
and $1,067,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001.
The increase in net income was primarily due to the improvements in net interest
income, which is partially offset by the increase in non-interest expense. The
improvement in net interest income was primarily due to the increase in the
commercial real estate loan and other commercial loan portfolios and the
decreasing cost of deposits during the period. Management expects net interest
income to continue to increase during 2002 due to the continued growth in the
loan portfolio and the continued diversification of the deposit mix with
emphasis on the growth of savings, interest checking and money market accounts.

NET INTEREST INCOME

2002 Compared to 2001. As noted on the charts on the following pages, net
interest income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002,
was $2,916,000 and $7,705,000, respectively, compared to $1,893,000 and
$5,058,000 for the same periods ended September 30, 2001, an increase of
$1,023,000 or 54% and $2,647,000 or 52%, respectively. This increase was caused
primarily by an increase in the volume of interest earning assets and the net
interest rate spread during the periods. The Corporation's interest rate spread
was 3.50% and 3.29%, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2002, compared to 2.92% and 2.53% for the same periods in 2001.
The Corporation's net interest margin on earning assets was 4.12% and 3.88%,
respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002
compared to 3.87% and 3.63% for the same periods in 2001. The Corporation's
improvement in interest rate spread and net interest margin was primarily the
result of the Bank's ability to originate commercial loans and fund those loans
with lower yielding liquid assets and lower costing deposits. Additionally, the
cost of the Bank's deposits have continued to decrease as a result of the Bank's
ability to adjust the deposit mix by increasing the balances in savings and
other transaction-based deposit products relative to total deposits.
Additionally, general industry rates have remained low throughout 2002.
Management expects that both the net interest margin on earning assets and the
net interest rate spread will increase during 2002 as the Bank converts funds
currently held in federal funds, interest bearing deposits with banks and
securities available for sale into loans.


13


Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields. Net interest income is affected by
the difference ("interest rate spread") between rates of interest earned on
interest-earning assets and rates of interest paid on interest-bearing
liabilities and the relative amounts of interest-bearing liabilities and
interest-earning assets. When the total of interest-earning assets approximates
or exceeds the total of interest-bearing liabilities, any positive interest rate
spread will generate net interest income. Financial institutions have
traditionally used interest rate spreads as a measure of net interest income.
Another indication of an institution's net interest income is its "net yield on
interest-earning assets" or "net interest margin," which is net interest income
divided by average interest-earning assets.

The following tables set forth certain information relating to the Corporation's
consolidated average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities
and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the
periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or
expense by the average daily balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for
the periods presented. During the periods indicated, non-accruing loans, if any,
are included in the loan category.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table analyzes net interest income in terms
of changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities and changes in yields and rates. The table reflects the extent to
which changes in the interest income and interest expense are attributable to
changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior year rate) and changes
in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior year volume). Changes attributable
to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to
changes due to volume and changes due to rate.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

2002 Compared to 2001. The provision for loan losses was $400,000 and $888,000
for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2002, compared to
$250,000 and $505,000 for the same periods in 2001, an increase of $150,000 or
60% for the three month period and $383,000 or 76% for the nine month period.
The provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2002 is based on internal analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses which considers the size and composition of the loan portfolio as well as
other factors, including types and amounts of non-performing loans, historical
and anticipated loss experience on such types of loans, and current and
projected economic conditions.


16


NON-INTEREST INCOME

2002 Compared to 2001. Non-interest income was $579,000 and $1,130,000 for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, compared to $292,000 and
$876,000 for the same periods in 2001, an increase of $287,000 or 98% for the
three month period and $254,000 or 29% for the nine month period. The increase
for the three month period was primarily due to increases in the gain on the
sale of securities available for sale and gain on the sale of loans during the
period. The increase for the nine month period was primarily due to increases in
the gain on the sale of securities available for sale and service charges on
deposit accounts. The securities were sold to provide additional liquidity that
will be utilized to fund loan demand during the fourth quarter of 2002.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

2002 Compared to 2001. Non-interest expense was $1,780,000 and $5,114,000 for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, compared to
$1,317,000 and $3,804,000 for the same periods in 2001, an increase of $463,000
or 35% for the three month period and $1,310,000 or 34% for the nine month
period. The largest component of non-interest expense was salaries and employee
benefits which amounted to $1,156,000 and $3,260,000 for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2002, compared to $843,000 and $2,442,000 for
the same periods in 2001, an increase of $313,000 or 37% for the three month
period and $818,000 or 33% for the nine month period. The primary factor in the
increase in salaries and benefits expense was the addition of two branch offices
during the second half of 2001, the expansion of the lending and operations
departments and general staff increases. As of September 30, 2002, the number of
full time equivalent employees was 81 compared to 55 as of September 30, 2001.
Salaries and employee benefits will continue to increase with the opening of a
branch office during the fourth quarter of 2002, preparation for the opening of
a branch office during the first quarter of 2003 and general staff increases.

Two other components of the increase in non-interest expense were occupancy and
equipment expense and other operating expense. Occupancy and equipment expense
amounted to $240,000 and $683,000 for the three month and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2002, compared to $183,000 and $424,000 for the same periods
in 2001, an increase of $57,000 or 31% for the three month period and $259,000
or 61% for the six month period. Other operating expense amounted to $182,000
and $478,000 for the three month period and nine month period ended September
30, 2002, compared to $113,000 and $326,000 for the same periods in 2001, an
increase of $57,000 or 31% for the three month period and $259,000 or 61% for
the nine month period. The primary factor in the increase in occupancy and
equipment expense and other operating expense was the opening of branch offices
in Canton Township, Michigan and Clinton Township, Michigan. The Bank also
completed the construction of an addition to the Bank's main office in Dearborn,
Michigan in December 2001. During 2002, the Bank will open a retail branch at
19100 Hall Road in Clinton Township in front of the current offices in the River
Ridge Corporate Office Center Building. Construction of this project commenced
during the second quarter of 2002. Upon completion during the fourth quarter of
2002, the retail branch staff will move to the retail branch office while loan,
operations and administrative personnel will remain in the existing building.
Additionally, the Bank expects to open a branch office in Southgate during the
first quarter of 2003.


17


INCOME TAX PROVISION

2002 Compared to 2001. Income tax expense was $447,000 and $962,000 for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, compared to $217,000 and
$558,000 for the same periods in 2001, an increase of $230,000 or 106% for the
three month period and $404,000 or 72% for the nine month period. The increase
was primarily a result of increased pre-tax income and the effective tax rate
was approximately 34% in all periods.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND DECEMBER 31, 2001

Assets. Total assets at September 30, 2002 were $296,938,000 compared to
$226,865,000 at December 31, 2001, an increase of $70,073,000 or 31%. The
increase was primarily due to the increase in loans. The increase in loans was
funded primarily with deposits.

Federal Funds Sold. Total federal funds sold at September 30, 2002 were
$9,670,000 compared to $4,887,000 at December 31, 2001, an increase of
$4,783,000 or 98%. The increase was primarily due to the short term deployment
of funds that were received as a result of an increase in deposits and the sale
of securities available for sale during the period. These funds are deployed
into federal funds sold until they can be utilized to fund loan volume.

Interest bearing deposits with banks. Total interest bearing deposits with banks
at September 30, 2002 were $6,751,000 compared to $7,387,000 at December 31,
2001, a decrease of $636,000 or 9%. This decrease was due to the deployment of
these funds into loans. This investment was established to provide the
Corporation with an alternate short term investment option. This short term
investment is a variable-rate certificate of deposit with the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Indianapolis that carries a similar rate of return to federal funds
sold.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale. Total mortgage loans held for sale at September
30, 2002 were $380,000 compared to $2,915,000 at December 31, 2001, a decrease
of $2,535,000 or 87%. This decrease was primarily due to the Bank's ability to
receive funding more rapidly. The Bank has accelerated this process by selling
mortgage loans to correspondents that complete these transactions more rapidly.

Securities Available for Sale. Total securities available for sale at September
30, 2002 were $19,624,000 compared to $21,652,000 at December 31, 2001, a
decrease of $2,028,000 or 9%. The decrease was due to the sale of securities
available for sale during the period. The securities were sold during the third
quarter of 2002 with a realized gain of $138,000 and the funds from the sale of
these securities will be utilized to a fund loans during the fourth quarter of
2002.

The entire portfolio has a net unrealized gain of $76,000. The Corporation does
not hold any securities in the "Held to Maturity" category nor does the
Corporation hold or utilize derivatives.

Please refer to Note B for the amortized cost and estimated market value of
securities, available for sale.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. Federal Home Loan Bank stock was valued at
$1,033,000 at September 30, 2002, compared to $1,000,000 at December 31, 2001,

Loans. Total loans at September 30, 2002 were $251,174,000 compared to
$180,892,000 at December 31, 2001, an increase of $70,282,000 or 39%. The
increase was primarily due to the expansion of the commercial lending department
during 2001. This expansion included the addition of two experienced commercial
loan officers at the Bank's branch office in Clinton Township, Michigan and the
development of the surrounding region. This expansion continued in 2002, with
the addition of an experienced commercial loan officer at the main office in
Dearborn, Michigan during the second quarter of 2002 and an experienced
commercial loan officer at the Clinton Township branch office during the third
quarter of 2002. Major categories of loans included in the loan portfolio are as

======================= ==================== ====================


The increase in deposits was primarily due to normal business development,
marketing, telemarketing, referral programs and growth strategies which included
a grand opening promotion for the Bank's branch office in Clinton Township,
Michigan, which targeted time deposit growth and an annual birthday celebration
and marketing campaign in March 2002. Management also continued the
implementation of a strategy during 2002 to change the mix of the deposit
portfolio by focusing more heavily on demand, interest bearing checking, savings
and money market, while reducing its reliance on time deposits. The
implementation of this strategy will continue during the remainder of 2002.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. Federal Home Loan Bank advances at September
30, 2002 were $20,660,000 compared to $20,000,000 at December 31, 2001, an

$609,000 compared to $804,000 at December 31, 2001, a decrease of $195,000 or
24%. The decrease was primarily due to the decreasing cost of interest bearing
deposits during the period.

Other Liabilities. Other liabilities at September 30, 2002 were $302,000
compared to $677,000 at December 31, 2001, a decrease of $375,000 or 55%. The
decrease was primarily due to the decrease in expenses payable during the
period.

CAPITAL

Stockholders' equity at September 30, 2002 was $29,795,000 compared to
$27,903,000 as of December 31, 2001, an increase of $1,892,000 or 7%. In prior
years, the Corporation had announced that it would repurchase up to 406,874
shares of its outstanding common stock under three stock repurchase programs.
Through December 31, 2001, the Corporation was able to repurchase 393,624 shares
within Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines primarily related to the
volume of market activity. Considering that the Corporation's stock closed at
$13.130 per share on September 30, 2002, representing a 109 percent market to
book ratio and the Corporation's plans for continued expansion, the Corporation
is not planning to repurchase shares during 2002. No shares were repurchased
during the first nine months of 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Liquidity refers to readily available funds to meet the needs of borrowers and
depositors. Levels of liquidity are closely monitored in conjunction with loan
funding requirements and deposit outflows. Adequate liquidity protects
institutions from raising funds under duress at excessive expense and provides a
necessary cushion for occasional unpredictable aberrations in demand. While
adequate liquidity is imperative, excessive liquidity in lower yielding cash
investments or other easily marketable assets reduces potential interest income.
Thus, an appropriate balance must be maintained to protect the institution and
at the same time, prudently maximize income opportunities. Sources of liquidity
from both assets and liabilities include federal funds sold, securities
available for sale, loan repayments, core deposits and a federal funds purchase
credit facility.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 3. - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis. The Corporation has sought to manage its
exposure to changes in interest rates by matching the effective maturities or
repricing characteristics of the Corporation's interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. The matching of the assets and liabilities may be
analyzed by examining the extent to which the assets and liabilities are
interest rate sensitive and by monitoring the expected effects of interest rate
changes on net interest income.

An asset or liability is interest rate sensitive within a specific time period
if it will mature or reprice within that time period. If the Corporation's
assets mature or reprice more quickly or to a greater extent that its
liabilities, the Corporation's net portfolio value and net interest income would
tend to increase during periods of rising interest rates but decrease during
periods of falling interest rates. If the Corporation's assets mature or reprice
more slowly or to a lesser extent than its liabilities, its net portfolio value
and net interest income would tend to decrease during periods of rising interest
rates but increase during periods of falling interest rates.

The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent
to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by
monitoring an institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap." An asset or
liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific period if it
will mature or reprice within that period. The interest rate sensitivity "gap"
is the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or
repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing
liabilities maturing or repricing within that time period. A gap is considered
positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of
interest rate sensitive liabilities, and is considered negative when the amount
of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceed the amount of interest rate
sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would
be expected to adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap would
be expected to result in an increase in net interest income, while conversely
during a period of declining interest rates, a negative gap would be expected to
result in an increase in net interest income and a positive gap would be
expected to adversely affect net interest income.



25


Different types of assets and liabilities with the same or similar maturities
may react differently to changes in overall market rates or conditions, and thus
changes in interest rates may affect net interest income positively or
negatively even if an institution were perfectly matched in each maturity
category. Additionally, the gap analysis does not consider the many factors as
banking interest rates move. While the interest rate sensitivity gap is a useful
measurement and contributes toward effective asset and liability management, it
is difficult to predict the effect of changing interest rates solely on that
measure, without accounting for alterations in the maturity or repricing
characteristics of the balance sheet that occur during changes in market
interest rates. During periods of rising interest rates, the Corporation's
assets tend to have prepayments that are slower than those in an interest rate
sensitivity gap and would increase the negative gap position. Conversely, during
a period of declining interest rates, the Corporation's assets would tend to
prepay faster than originally expected thus decreasing the negative gap
position. In addition, some of the Corporation's assets, such as adjustable rate
mortgages, have caps on the amount by which their interest rates can change in
any single period, and therefore may not reprice as quickly as liabilities in
the same maturity category.

The following table sets forth the amounts of interest earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities outstanding at September 30, 2002, which are
expected to mature or reprice in each of the time periods shown below.
