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 March 31, 2004 and 2003, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three month periods then ended, and the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the three month periods then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.   Accounting and Reporting Policies
 
    The consolidated financial statements of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) include the consolidation of its only subsidiary, Community Bank of Dearborn (the “Bank”). The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and conform to practice within the banking industry.
 
    The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, and December 31, 2003 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items which are in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. The operating results for the quarter are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the entire year.
 
    The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, and for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 included herein have been prepared by the Corporation, without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in interim financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereon included in the Corporation’s 2003 Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K.
 
    Certain of the Corporation’s accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Corporation’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances which could affect these material judgments include, but without limitation, changes in interest rates, in the performance of the economy or in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses and determining the fair value of securities and other financial instruments.

A.   Accounting and Reporting Policies (continued)
 
    Employee compensation expense under stock option plans is reported using the intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if expense was measured using the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation (in thousands, except share and per share data).

    Stock options vest after a six month period from date of grant. No options were granted in 2004. The pro forma effects are computed using option pricing models and the assumptions for the 2003 grants were a risk-free interest rate of 3.55%, expected life of seven years, and expected volatility of 25.55%.

    The entire portfolio has a net unrealized loss of $263,000 at March 31, 2004. The Bank holds a floating rate issue of preferred stock of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation that has an unrealized loss of $304,000. This unrealized loss is primarily caused by the floating rate characteristic of this security and its market value is expected to improve as interest rates rise. The Corporation does not expect to realize a loss as a result of holding this security. The Corporation does not hold any securities in the “Held to Maturity” category nor does the Corporation hold or utilize derivatives.

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 712,186 shares. Exercise price is the market price at date of grant. The maximum option term is ten years, and options vest fully after six months from the date of grant. If an option expires or terminates without having been exercised, such option becomes available for future grant under the Plan.

    A summary of the option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2004 is as follows:

                         
                    Weighted
    Available           Average
    For   Options   Exercise
    Grant

  Price
Outstanding at January 1, 2004
          562,816     $ 9.95

Outstanding at March 31, 2004
          545,115     $ 9.96  

    For the options outstanding at March 31, 2004, the range of exercise prices was $5.08 to $19.63 per share with a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 6.8 years. At March 31, 2004, 545,115 options were exercisable at weighted average exercise price of $9.96 per share. There were no antidilutive shares for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.

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.

Results of Operations

The Corporation reported net income of $1,174,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, compared to net income of $580,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2003. The increase in net income was primarily due to the improvement in net interest income. 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. The increase in loans was partially funded with short term investments such as interest bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold and floating rate securities, which carry a lower yield than loans.

Net Interest Income

2004 Compared to 2003. As noted on the two charts on the following pages, net interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 was $4,484,000, compared to $3,012,000 for the same period ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $1,472,000 or 49%. This increase was caused primarily by the decreasing cost of interest bearing liabilities and the redeployment of interest bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold and securities, available for sale into loans. The Corporation’s interest rate spread was 3.85% for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, compared to 3.08% for the same period in 2003. The Corporation’s interest rate margin was 4.13% for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, compared to 3.52% for the same period in 2003.

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.

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

2004 Compared to 2003. The provision for loan losses was $224,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, compared to $228,000 for the same period in 2003, a decrease of $4,000 or 2%. The provision for loan losses for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 is based on the internal analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan losses was based upon management’s assessment of relevant factors, including types and amounts of non-performing loans, historical and anticipated loss experience on such types of loans, and current economic conditions.

Non-interest Income

2004 Compared to 2003. Non-interest income was $306,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, compared to $751,000 for the same period in 2003, a decrease of $445,000 or 59% for period. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the gain on the sale of loans during the period. The volume of mortgage loans sold decreased during the period as a result of increased interest rates and a decrease in the size of the mortgage origination staff. Management expects the gain on sale of loans to continue at current levels during 2004.

Non-interest Expense

2004 Compared to 2003. Non-interest expense was $2,791,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2003, compared to $2,657,000 for the same period in 2003, an increase of $134,000 or 5% for the period. The largest component of non-interest expense was salaries and employee benefits which amounted to $1,817,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, compared to $1,486,000 for the same period in 2003. The primary factors for the increase in salaries and benefits expense were the addition of one branch office in May 2003 and the expansion of the commercial lending and operations departments. As of March 31, 2004, the number of full time equivalent employees was 113 compared to 106 as of March 31, 2003. Salaries and employee benefits will continue to increase as a result of general staff increases.

Commissions on the origination of loans amounted to $63,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $291,000 for the same period in 2003, a decrease of $228,000 or 78%. The primary reason for the decrease in the commissions on the origination of loans was the decrease in the volume of loans originated during the period. Management expects the commissions paid on the origination of loans to continue at current levels during 2004.

The second largest component of non-interest expense was occupancy and equipment expense. Occupancy and equipment expense amounted to $359,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, compared to $322,000 for the same period in 2003, an increase of $37,000 or 11%. The primary factor in the increase in occupancy and equipment expense was the opening of the regional lending center in Auburn Hills, Michigan.

Income Tax Provision

2004 Compared to 2003. The income tax expense was $601,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, compared to $298,000 for the same period in 2003, an increase of $303,000 or 102% for the period. The increase was primarily a result of increased pre-tax income.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003

Assets. Total assets at March 31, 2004 were $463,543,000 compared to $446,075,000 at December 31, 2003, an increase of $17,468,000 or 4%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in loans during the period.

Federal Funds Sold. Total federal funds sold at March 31, 2004 were $11,751,000 compared to $7,651,000 at December 31, 2003, an increase of $4,100,000 or 54%. The increase was primarily due to the short term deployment of funds that were received as a result of an increase in deposits. Available 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 March 31, 2004 were $57,000 compared to $8,325,000 at December 31, 2003, a decrease of $8,268,000 or 99%. 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 March 31, 2004 were $1,266,000 compared to $1,505,000 at December 31, 2003, a decrease of $239,000 or 16%. This decrease was a result of the decrease in the level of residential real estate mortgage loans waiting to be purchased by mortgage correspondents.

Securities — Available for Sale. Total securities, available for sale, at March 31, 2004 were $12,521,000 compared to $16,948,000 at December 31, 2003, a decrease of $4,427,000 or 26%. The decrease was due to the sale of securities, available for sale during the second and third quarters of 2003. The funds from the sale of these securities were utilized to fund loan volume.

Please refer to Note B of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 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 $1,086,000 at March 31, 2004, compared to $1,073,000 at December 31, 2003, an increase of $13,000 or 1%.

The remaining non-accrual loans consisted of one slow paying commercial loan with a balance of $176,000, one slow paying home equity loan with a balance of $28,000, one slow paying construction loan with a balance of $268,000 and three well-secured residential mortgage loans with balances of $212,000, $124,000 and $92,000.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses was $4,632,000 at March 31, 2004 compared to $4,314,000 at December 31, 2003, an increase of $318,000 or 7%. The increase resulted from provisions recorded during the quarter and a net recovery of $94,000 and responds to the growth of the loan portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2004 as well as the mix of loans and levels of nonperforming loans. The allowance for loan losses was based upon management’s assessment of relevant factors, including loan growth, types and amounts of non-performing loans, historical and anticipated loss experience on such types of loans, and current economic conditions.

Management continues to implement a strategy to change the mix of the deposit portfolio by focusing more heavily on savings and institutional deposits. The increase in deposits was primarily due to normal business development, marketing, telemarketing, referral programs and growth strategies which included a promotion that celebrated the Bank’s 10th Anniversary during March 2004, which targeted time deposit growth. Management expects deposits to continue to grow at a similar rate during the remainder of 2004.

The Bank has enacted a strategy to utilize public funds to a higher degree. The Bank will also utilize brokered deposits. The Bank has designated a public funds officer to coordinate and manage these efforts. Public funds consist of interest checking and time deposits of local governmental units. They are the result of strong relationships between the Bank and the communities in the Bank’s marketing area and are considered by the Bank to be core deposits.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. Federal Home Loan Bank advances were $20,638,000 at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

Other Liabilities. Other liabilities at March 31, 2004 were $490,000 compared to $463,000 at December 31, 2003, an increase of $27,000 or 6%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in expenses payable during the period.

Accrued Interest Payable. Accrued interest payable at March 31, 2004 was $761,000 compared to $754,000 at December 31, 2003, an increase of $7,000 or 1%. The increase was primarily due to the increasing amount of interest bearing deposits during the period.

Subordinated Debentures. Subordinated debentures were $10,000,000 at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. On December 19, 2002, the Corporation issued $10,000,000 of floating rate obligated mandatory redeemable securities through a special purpose entity as part of a pooled offering. The securities have a term of thirty years. The Corporation may redeem the securities after five years at face value. They are considered to be Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes. The funds from the issue of these securities were invested into securities available for sale until they can be invested into the Bank subsidiary to allow for additional growth. Debt issue costs of $300,000 have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the securities. Unamortized debt issuance costs were $287,000 at March 31, 2004.

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.

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 March 31, 2004, which are expected to mature or reprice in each of the time periods shown below.

Liquidity. 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, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and a federal funds purchase credit facility.
