Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Stockholders
Dearborn Bancorp, Inc.
Dearborn, Michigan
Dearborn Bancorp, Inc.
Dearborn, Michigan
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. as of September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, 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 reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 20, 2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Accounting and Reporting Policies
The condensed consolidated financial statements of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) include the consolidation of its only subsidiary, Fidelity Bank (the “Bank”). The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to practice within the banking industry.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and December 31, 2008 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Corporation as of December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the entire year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 2008 Annual Report 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 and assessing other than temporary impairments of securities.

Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options. Income (loss) per share is restated for all stock splits and dividends through the date of issue of the financial statements.
Factors in the basic and diluted income (loss) per share calculation follow (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Stock options for 542,511 and 647,110 shares of common stock were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, because they were antidilutive. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted for stock dividends.

Effect of Newly Issued Accounting Standards
ASU No. 2009-05,Measuring Liabilities at Fair Valuecodified in “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) — Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”
In August 2009, this ASU provides amendments for fair value measurements of liabilities. It provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating a fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance or fourth quarter 2009. We are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2009-05 on our financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures.
ASU 2009-01 (formerly SFAS No. 168), Topic 105 —Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
ASU 2009-01 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. ASU 2009-01 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We have made the appropriate changes to GAAP references in our financial statements.
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810 (formerly FASB Statement No. 167,Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)
In June 2009, the FASB issued this guidance which amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities. The amendments to the consolidation guidance affect all entities currently within the scope of ASC Topic 810-10 (formerly FIN 46(R)), as well as qualifying special-purpose entities (QSPEs) that are currently excluded from the scope of that guidance. This guidance is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. We are currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures.

This guidance amends the derecognition of accounting and disclosure guidance relating to ASC Topic 860-10. This guidance eliminates the exemption from consolidation for QSPEs. It also requires a transferor to evaluate all existing QSPEs to determine whether it must be consolidated in accordance with ASC 810. This guidance is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. We are currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures.
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 855 (formerly Statement No. 165),Subsequent Events
In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855 which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. ASC 855 is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted the provisions of ASC 855 and this change is reflected in Note H — Subsequent Events.
ASC 825 (formerly FASB Staff Position (FSP) 107-1 and APB 28-1),Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 825 which requires a public entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. ASC 825 is effective for interim and annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted the provisions of ASC 825 on April 1, 2009 and the impact on our disclosures is more fully discussed in Note F — Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities.

Earnings Per Share (EPS): (formerly FSP EITF 03-6-1),Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Shared-Based Payment Transaction are Participating Securities.
In June 2008, the FASB issued ASC 260 which clarifies that unvested share-based payment awards with a right to receive nonforfeitable dividends are participating securities. ASC 260 also provides guidance on how to allocate earnings to participating securities and compute EPS using the two-class method. ASC 260 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. The provisions of ASC 260 did not have a material impact on our EPS calculation.

The contractual maturity of these securities are over five years.
The single issuer trust preferred securities were evaluated for other than temporary impairment by determining the strength of the underlying issuer and its ability to make the contractual principal and interest payments.
One issuer of a trust preferred security the Corporation holds is a bank holding company, headquartered in Michigan that owns commercial banks in several states. The Corporation received a third party valuation of this security and noted the cost basis exceeded the fair value of the security. Upon further analysis, the Corporation noted that the underlying issuer commenced deferral of interest payments on this trust preferred security for up to a period of five years. This issuer has been negatively impacted by the downturn in the economy and the asset quality issues that have impacted the financial services industry in the Michigan market. Various subsidiary banks held by this issuer have been downgraded to adequately-capitalized status as of quarter-end. The Corporation believes that based upon the continued deterioration of asset quality and regulatory capital ratio of this issuer results in an other-than-temporary impairment that is credit related. As a result, the Corporation recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $387,000 through the income statement during the quarter ended September 30, 2009.

C. Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (con’t)
Net charge-offs of $19,408,000 or 79% of year-to-date net-charge-offs were based on current valuations of the underlying collateral during these challenging economic conditions. These valuations are as of a certain date and there is a possibility that the valuation of this collateral will improve as economic conditions improve.
A primary factor in the continued decline in the underlying value of our collateral and the decision to recognize these charge-offs was the continuing decline in the first nine months of 2009 in the economic environment in Southeastern Michigan. This decline in economic conditions is heavily impacted by conditions and events that have recently impacted the automotive industry during 2009, including the recent bankruptcy of two major automotive manufacturers and resulting shut down of production and layoffs of employees. These events have a negative impact on the residential real estate and commercial real estate markets in the Bank’s market area and these loans represent 79% of the Bank’s loan portfolio. These conditions have led to an increase in the Bank’s classified assets during 2009. Management has recognized this trend in our analysis of the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2009. 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. If collateral values continue to decline, additions to the allowance for loan losses will be required and will have an adverse effect on the Corporation’s earnings through increases to the provision for loan losses.

Regulatory requirements, documented in the discussion of Impaired Loans in the Glossary of the FFIEC Call Report Instructions dictate that any collateral deficiency on impaired loans that are collateral dependent must be immediately charged off. A collateral deficiency exists where the loan balance exceeds the value of the underlying collateral. As of September 30, 2009, the collateral deficiency of all collateral dependent impaired loans has been charged off.

D. Incentive Stock Plans
Incentive stock awards have been granted to officers and employees under two Incentive Stock Plans. The first plan is the 1994 Stock Option Plan. Options to buy common stock have been granted to officers and employees under the 1994 Stock Option Plan, which provides for issue of up to 738,729 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.
There was no option activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For the options outstanding at September 30, 2009, the range of exercise prices was $4.18 to $14.65 per share with a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 2.3 years. At September 30, 2009, options for 360,401 shares were exercisable at weighted average exercise price of $8.65 per share. There were no options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. There was no intrinsic value at September 30, 2009.
During 2005, the Corporation initiated the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Under this plan, up to 347,248 shares may be granted to officers and employees of the Bank. This plan provides that stock awards may take the form of any combination of options, restricted shares, restricted share units or performance awards.
The administration of the plan, including the granting of awards and the nature of those awards is determined by the Corporation’s Compensation Committee. The Corporation’s Board of Directors approved grants of stock options and restricted stock in 2005, 2006 and 2008. The awards have a term of ten years and typically vest fully three years from the grant date. In order for vesting to occur with some grants, the Corporation must meet certain performance criteria over the vesting period. The expected compensation cost of the 2005 plan is being calculated assuming the Corporation’s attainment of “target” performance goals over the vesting period of the awards. The actual cost of these awards could range from zero to 100% of the currently recorded compensation cost, depending on the Corporation’s actual performance. The awards granted in 2005 and 2006 did have such performance criteria. The awards granted in 2008 did not have performance criteria.
Stock Options Granted — Stock options were awarded to officers in 2005, 2006 and 2008. The incentive stock options were granted with exercise prices equal to market prices on the day of grant. At September 30, 2009, there were stock options outstanding for 182,113 shares with a weighted average exercise price of $4.96 per share. At September 30, 2009, stock options for 67,877 shares were vested fully.
The Corporation recognized stock option compensation expense of $54,000 and $52,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Compensation cost of $69,000 and $62,000 is expected to be recognized during 2009 and 2010, respectively.
Restricted Stock Grants — Restricted stock was awarded to officers in 2005, 2006 and 2008. The restricted stock is eligible to vest three years from grant date. Upon full vesting, restricted shares are transferred to common shares. At September 30, 2009, there were 41,530 shares of restricted stock outstanding.

F. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Effective January 1, 2008, the Corporation adopted ASC 820 ( formerly SFAS 157) “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 has been applied prospectively as of the beginning of 2008.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
20
Table of Contents
F. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities (con’t)
Level 2 — | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Observable inputs may include available credit information and bond terms and conditions of similar securities, market spreads, cash flow analysis and market concensus prepayment speeds. | ||
Level 2 securities include U.S. agency and U.S. government sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities. Level 2 securities are valued by a third party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry utilizing observable inputs. The pricing provider utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary based on asset class. These models incorporate available market information including quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics and, because many fixed-income securities do not trade on a daily basis, apply available information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector grouping and matrix pricing. In addition, model processes, such as an option adjusted spread model is used to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios for securities with prepayment features. |
Level 3 — | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to our valuation hierarchy.
Securities available for sale
Fair values of securities, available for sale are estimated by a third party using inputs that are observable or that can be corroborated by observable market data and, therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
The following table presents the fair value measurements of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying balance sheet measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008 (in thousands):

Impaired loans and other real estate owned
Fair value adjustments for impaired and non-accrual loans typically occur when there is evidence of impairment. Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. The Company measures fair value based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or personal property including equipment and inventory. The value of the collateral is determined based on internal estimates as well as third party appraisals or non-binding broker quotes. These measurements were classified as Level 3. The fair value of the Company’s other real estate owned is determined using Level 3 inputs, which include current and prior appraisals and estimated costs to sell.
The following table presents the fair value measurements of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying balance sheet measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and the level within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008 (in thousands):

F. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities ( con’t)
Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently or fully. Security fair values are based on market prices or dealer quotes and, if no such information is available, on the rate and term of the security and information about the issuer. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values. Fair value of loans held for sale is based on market quotes. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is based on the current fees or cost that would be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements, and is not considered material to this presentation.

Net deferred tax asset | $ | — | $ | 16,686 | ||||
The increase in the deferred tax assets during 2009 is primarily due to net charge-offs during the period. These charge-offs are primarily due to the continued decline in the underlying value of our collateral and the accelerating decline during the second and third quarters of 2009 in the economic environment in Southeastern Michigan. This decline in economic conditions is heavily impacted by conditions and events that have recently impacted the automotive industry during the first half of 2009, including the recent bankruptcy of two major automotive manufacturers and resulting shut down of production and layoffs of employees. The goodwill and other intangible assets acquired during 2004 and 2007 are being amortized over 15 years for tax purposes and are tax deductible, but the goodwill is not being amortized for book purposes. The impairment of goodwill and partial impairment of other intangible assets generated a deferred tax asset of $13,464,000 during 2008.

G. Income Taxes (con’t)
The recoverability of the deferred tax asset, which is primarily due to the future deductability of goodwill, core deposit intangible and the allowance for loan losses, is contingent upon future taxable income. The Corporation does not believe that future income will support this deferred tax asset and therefore, recorded a valuation allowance in the amount of $26,976,000 at September 30, 2009.
There were no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2008, and the Corporation does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease in the next twelve months.
Effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 34% applied to income before income taxes due to the following:
9/30/2009 | 12/31/2008 | |||||||
Federal income tax rate | 34 | % | 34 | % | ||||

The Corporation is no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2007. As of September 30, 2009, the Corporation had approximately $18,600,000 of federal tax loss carryforward available to offset future federal income tax, which will begin to expire in 2029.
H. Capital and Operating Matters
Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2009 was $47,890,000 compared to $103,311,000 as of December 31, 2008, a decrease of $55,421,000 or 54%. The decrease was due to the net loss of $55,369,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The net loss during the period reflected a non-cash charge of $3,997,000 to record the impairment of the remaining unamortized portion of intangible assets and a non-cash charge of $26,976,000 to record a valuation allowance for the entire amount of the net tax deferred asset. When these two non-cash charges are excluded, the net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 was $24,396,000. The decrease in net income excluding these non-cash charges during nine month period ended September 30, 2009 was primarily due to the increase in the provision for loan loss, the decline in net interest income due to the elevated levels of non-performing loans and the increased costs related to real estate owned.

H. Capital and Operating Matters (con’t)
The Corporation has experienced large net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 due to the continued decline in economic conditions in Southeastern Michigan. The recent bankruptcy of two major automotive manufacturers and resulting shut down of production and layoffs of employees have negatively affected the operating results even though the Corporation does not have any direct exposure to the automotive industry. Additionally, economic conditions have continued to erode the value of residential real estate and commercial real estate in the Bank’s market area causing write-downs in the loan and real estate owned portfolios further contributing to net losses. The impact of continuing net losses to the regulatory capital ratios is shown below. Based on the respective regulatory capital ratios, the Bank is considered to be undercapitalized at September 30, 2009 and to have been well capitalized at December 31, 2008.

H. Capital and Operating Matters (con’t)
The capital ratios disclosed in the middle column of the table above are minimum requirements. Higher capital ratios may be required by federal and state bank regulators if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profiles of specific institutions.
Applicable federal prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. Based on its regulatory capital ratios, the Bank is undercapitalized at September 30, 2009. Undercapitalized institutions are subject to close monitoring by their federal bank regulator, restrictions on asset growth and expansion, and other significantly greater regulatory restrictions than apply to well-capitalized or adequately capitalized institutions.
In light of the Bank’s continued losses and capital position at September 30, 2009, it is reasonable to anticipate further regulatory enforcement action by the Bank’s regulators.
The Corporation needs to raise sufficient capital during 2009 and 2010 to return the Bank to well-capitalized status. Management is considering various sources of capital and estimates the need to raise between $50 million and $75 million in capital during 2009 and 2010. Given the current economic environment, there can be no assurance the Corporation will be able to raise the estimated capital needed. Additionally, if real estate values in the Corporation’s market area continue to decline, this will negatively impact the loan portfolio and values of other real estate owned. Additional declines in real estate values would result in the need for additional provision expense resulting in increased losses and further reducing the Corporation’s and the Bank’s capital.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly discretionary, action by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements and raise substantial doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern.
I. Subsequent Events
On November 6, 2009, President Obama signed into law H.R. 3548: Worker, Home Ownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009. This legislation has extended the Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) carryback period for federal income tax from two years to five years for either 2008 or 2009 NOLs. In year five, the NOL carryback would be limited to 50 percent of a company’s taxable income. There would be no limit on the NOL carryback in years one, two, three and four.
As a result of this legislation, the Corporation, will record a $5,400,000 reimbursement receivable of income taxes paid and a one time federal income tax benefit which will increase capital by $5,400,000 during the fourth quarter of 2009.
Subsequent events have been evaluated through November 13, 2009, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Company Overview
Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. was incorporated as a Michigan business corporation on September 30, 1992. The Corporation was formed to acquire all of the Bank’s issued and outstanding stock and to engage in the business of a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “Act”).
Community Bank of Dearborn (the “Bank”), a Michigan banking corporation, commenced business on February 28, 1994 in Dearborn, Michigan. On April 30, 2007, Community Bank of Dearborn was renamed Fidelity Bank. Management believes that its new name, Fidelity Bank, represents a more accurate portrayal to our customers and prospects of the financial products and services offered by the Bank and the Bank’s market area.
The Bank is the only commercial bank headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan and offers a full line of loan and deposit products and services. The Bank offers excellent customer service to its loan and deposit customers and maintains strong relationships with the communities served by the Bank.

The Corporation has realized substantial asset growth from the formation of the Corporation through December 31, 2008. Historically, the Bank’s growth has been realized through the growth of the loan portfolio. More specifically, the expansion of our commercial banking department has been a primary element in the Bank’s asset growth through December 31, 2007. The Corporation’s growth since its inception has been funded primarily by deposits. During 2009, the Corporation’s total assets have declined due to management of the Bank’s non-performing assets and the liquidation of the Bank’s participation in a wholesale money market deposit program.
The Corporation and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors, and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure to meet the various capital requirements can trigger regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. At September 30, 2009, the Bank is not in compliance with applicable regulatory capital requirements. The capital ratios of the Corporation and the Bank as of December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2009 are disclosed under the heading “Capital” below.
Due to losses experienced during 2008 and the first nine months of 2009, the Bank’s capital position has declined to “undercapitalized”, as defined by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (‘FDIC”) Regulation Part 325.103, at September 30, 2009 from “well-capitalized” at December 31, 2008. The Corporation needs to raise sufficient capital during 2009 and 2010 to return the Bank to well-capitalized status. Management is considering various sources of capital and estimates that it needs to raise between $50 million and $75 million in capital during 2009 and 2010.
The Corporation’s earnings depend primarily on net interest income. Management strives to maximize net interest income through monitoring the economic and competitive environment and making appropriate adjustments in the characteristics and pricing of our products and services.
Other factors that contribute significantly to our earnings are the maintenance of asset quality and efficient operations. Management continually monitors the quality of the loan portfolio and the impact of the economic and competitive environment and works to maintain asset quality.
The Bank’s market area consists primarily of the Metropolitan Detroit area. This is a large real estate market and the Bank’s loan portfolio accounts for less than one percent of this market. The Detroit real estate market has been negatively impacted by the unfavorable economic conditions in the State of Michigan. The Bank has maintained strong underwriting guidelines and utilizes a diligent loan review process.

The Corporation recorded a net loss of $40,045,000 and $55,369,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The net loss recorded during the three and nine month periods includes the recording of non-cash charges of $26,976,000 and $3,997,000. The non-cash charge for $26,976,000 represents the recording of a valuation allowance for the entire amount of the Corporation’s deferred tax asset at September 30, 2009. The recording of this valuation allowance was necessary due to the uncertainty of the amount of the Corporation’s net operating loss carry forward that is eligible for utilization during the carry forward period due to the projected level of the Corporation’s taxable income during that period. This valuation allowance is discussed further in Management’s Discussion and Analysis under the heading of “Other Assets”. The non-cash charge of $3,997,000 resulted from the recording of an impairment charge on the Bank’s intangible assets that writes off those intangible assets in their entirety. The impairment of intangible assets is discussed further in Management’s Discussion and Analysis under the heading of “Other Intangible Assets”.
The primary factor affecting net income after excluding these non-cash charges was the recording of $14,185,000 and $38,522,000 to the provision for loan loss for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009. The provision for loan loss was due to net charge-offs of $8,233,000 and $24,600,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively and the continued deterioration in the underlying collateral of the Bank’s non-performing assets. Another significant factor was the cost related to real estate owned, which included defaulted loan expense of $1,827,000 and $3,514,000 and write-downs to real estate owned of $639,000 and $2,499,000 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively.
Results of Operations
The Corporation reported a net loss of ($40,045,000) for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to net income of $1,420,000 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $41,465,000. The Corporation reported a net loss of ($55,369,000) for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of ($2,518,000) for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $52,851,000. The net loss during the three and nine month periods reflected a non-cash charge of $3,997,000 to record the impairment of the remaining unamortized portion of intangible assets and a non-cash charge of $26,976,000 to record a valuation allowance for the entire amount of the net tax deferred asset. When these two non-cash charges are excluded, the net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 was ($9,072,000), compared to net income of $1,420,000, a decrease of $10,492,000. When these two non-cash charges are excluded, the net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 was ($24,396,000), compared to a net loss of ($2,518,000), a decrease of $21,878,000. The decrease in net income excluding these non-cash charges during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 was primarily due to the increase in the provision for loan loss, the decline in net interest income due to the elevated levels of non-performing loans and the increased costs related to real estate owned.

Net Interest Income
2009 Compared to 2008.As noted on the two charts on the following pages, net interest income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 was $7,826,000 and $22,880,000, compared to $8,250,000 and $24,587,000 for the same periods ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $423,000 or 5% for the three month period and $1,706,000 or 7% for the nine month period. This decrease was caused primarily by the decreasing spread between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The Corporation’s interest rate spread was 2.93% and 2.71% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 compared to 2.95% and 2.89% for the same periods in 2008. The Corporation’s interest rate margin was 3.24% and 3.05% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 compared to 3.41% and 3.40% for the same periods in 2008. The decline in the Corporation net interest spread and net interest margin was primarily due to the decline in the Bank’s yield on earning assets, which was primarily due to the impact of the increasing amount of non-performing loans.
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 table sets 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
2009 Compared to 2008.The provision for loan losses was $14,185,000 and $38,522,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, compared to $90,000 and $9,722,000 for the same periods in 2008, an increase of $14,095,000 or 15,661% for the three month period and $28,800,000 or 296% for the nine month period. The increase is primarily due to net charge-offs of $24,600,000 during the nine month period and the continued deterioration of the underlying collateral for the Bank’s non-performing loans, which are primarily due to the decline in economic conditions in Southeastern Michigan. This decline in economic conditions is heavily impacted by conditions and events that have recently impacted the automotive industry during 2009, including the recent bankruptcy of two major automotive manufacturers and resulting shut down of production and layoffs of employees. These events have a negative impact on the residential real estate and commercial real estate markets in the Bank’s market area. These conditions have led to an increase in the Bank’s classified assets during 2009. Management has recognized this trend in our analysis of the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2009.
Regulatory requirements, documented in the discussion of Impaired Loans in the Glossary of the FFIEC Call Report Instructions, dictate that any collateral deficiency on impaired loans that are collateral dependent must be immediately charged off. A collateral deficiency exists where the loan balance exceeds the value of the underlying collateral. As of September 30, 2009, the collateral deficiency of all collateral dependent impaired loans has been charged off.
Net charge-offs of $19,408,000 or 79% of year-to-date net charge-offs were based on current valuations of the underlying collateral during these challenging economic conditions. These valuations are as of a certain date and there is a possibility that the valuation of this collateral will improve as economic conditions improve.

Table of Contents
The provision for loan losses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 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 loss experience on such types of loans, and current economic conditions.
Non-interest Income (Loss)
2009 Compared to 2008.Non-interest loss was ($600,000) and ($843,000) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, compared to non-interest income of $319,000 and $375,000 for the same periods in 2008. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to the write-down and loss on the sale of other real estate during 2009 and the impairment on a held to maturity security.
When these transactions related to other real estate and securities are excluded, non-interest income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 amounts to $580,000 and $1,735,000 compared to $535,000 and $1,595,000 during the same period in 2008, an increase of $45,000 or 8% for the three month period and $140,000 or 9% for the nine month period. This increase is primarily caused by the increase in other income.
Non-interest Expense
2009 Compared to 2008.Non-interest expense was $11,810,000 and $25,424,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, compared to $6,312,000 and $18,978,000 for the same periods in 2008, an increase of $5,498,000 or 87% for the three month period and $6,446,000 or 34% for the nine month period. Non-interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 includes a non-cash charge of $3,997,000 from the recording of an impairment charge on the entire remaining balance of the Bank’s intangible assets. When this non-cash charge is excluded from non-interest expense, non-interest expense amounts to $7,813,000 and $21,427,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, compared to $6,312,000 and $18,978,000 for the same periods in 2008, an increase of $1,501,000 or 24% for the three month period and $2,449,000 or 13% for the nine month period.
The increase was primarily due to defaulted loan expense and the FDIC assessment. Defaulted loan expense amounted to $1,827,000 and $3,514,000 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 compared to $483,000 and $1,429,000 during the same periods in 2008, an increase of $1,344,000 or 278% for the three month period and $2,085,000 or 146% for the nine month period. This increase in defaulted loans expense was primarily due to the payment of property taxes, insurance, legal expenses and maintenance in 2009 for real estate owned.

Table of Contents
The FDIC assessment amounted to $672,000 and $1,853,000 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 compared to $174,000 and $522,000 during the same periods in 2008, an increase of $498,000 or 286% for the three month period and $1,331,000 or 255% for the nine month period. The increase in the FDIC assessment was due to the payment of a special assessment announced by the FDIC during the second quarter of 2009 and the increased level of the Bank’s assessment in the third quarter of 2009 due to the decline in the capitalization level to adequately capitalized during the second quarter of 2009. The Bank’s FDIC assessment is expected to increase in the fourth quarter of 2009 as the Bank’s capitalization level has declined further to undercapitalized.
Salaries and employee benefits amounted to $3,159,000 and $9,657,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, compared to $3,413,000 and $9,906,000 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $254,000 or 7% for the three month period and a decrease of $249,000 or 3% for the nine month period. As of September 30, 2009, the number of full time equivalent employees was 201 compared to 214 as of September 30, 2008.
Income Tax Provision
2009 Compared to 2008.Income tax expense was $21,276,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to $747,000 for the same period in 2008, an increase of $20,529,000. Income tax expense was $13,460,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to an income tax benefit of ($1,220,000) for the same period in 2008, an increase of $14,680,000. Income tax expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 included a non-cash charge of $26,976,000 that was due to the recording of a valuation allowance for the entire amount of the Corporation’s net tax deferred asset. When this non-cash charge is excluded, the income tax benefit for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 is ($5,700,000) and ($13,516,000) compared to income tax expense of $747,000 for the three month period in 2008 and an income tax benefit of ($1,220,000) for the nine month period in 2008, a decrease of $6,447,000 for the three month period and $12,296,000 for the nine month period. The decrease in income tax provision (benefit) is due to the decline in taxable income.

The increase in non-performing loans was largely due to the increase in loans that qualify as troubled debt restructuring, which amounted to $46,025,000 and $17,765,000 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. These loans qualified as troubled debt restructuring primarily due to the temporary change in payment type from principal and interest to interest only or the renewal of interest reserves when current loan to value ratios were outside of our loan policy. All loans categorized as troubled debt restructuring at September 30, 2009 are in compliance with their modified terms, with the exception of one loan amounting to $544,000 that was thirty days past due. The specific allowance of loans categorized as troubled debt restructuring was $0 and $375,000 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
The increase in non-performing loans and net charge-offs during 2009 has been most significant in the land development and commercial real estate construction segments of the Bank’s loan portfolio. These loans comprise 11% of loans and 45% of non accrual loans at September 30, 2009. Management has implemented a strategy to decrease the amount of loans in these segments. These loans have decreased 19% during 2009, while the loan portfolio has declined by 8%.

Management has identified substandard loans over $500,000. These loans are individually discussed by management and strategies are developed and implemented to manage these loans most effectively.
Non-accrual loans at September 30, 2009 were $58,866,000, compared to $51,708,000 at December 31, 2008. The increase in non-accrual loans during the period was primarily due to the downgrading of 96 loans to non-accrual status for $33,598,000 and partially offset by net charge-offs of $24,601,000 and the transfer of 38 loans to other real estate for $12,668,000.

Allowance for Loan Losses.The allowance for loan losses was $28,373,000 at September 30, 2009 compared to $14,452,000 at December 31, 2008, an increase of $13,921,000 or 96%. The increase was primarily due to net charge-offs of $24,600,000 and the continuing deterioration of the underlying collateral of the Bank’s non-performing loans. Regulatory requirements, documented in the discussion of Impaired Loans in the Glossary of the FFIEC Call Report Instructions dictate that any collateral deficiency on impaired loans that are collateral dependent must be immediately charged off. A collateral deficiency exists where the loan balance exceeds the value of the underlying collateral. As of September 30, 2009, the collateral deficiency of all collateral dependent impaired loans has been charged off.
Net charge-offs of $19,408,000 or 79% of year-to-date net-charge-offs were based on current valuations of the underlying collateral during these challenging economic conditions. These valuations are as of a certain date and there is a possibility that the valuation of this collateral will improve as economic conditions improve.

Table of Contents
A primary factor in the continued decline in the underlying value of our collateral and the decision to recognize these charge-offs was the continuing decline in the first nine months of 2009 in the economic environment in Southeastern Michigan. This decline in economic conditions is heavily impacted by conditions and events that have recently impacted the automotive industry during 2009, including the recent bankruptcy of two major automotive manufacturers and resulting shut down of production and layoffs of employees. These events have a negative impact on the residential real estate and commercial real estate markets in the Bank’s market area and these loans represent 79% of the Bank’s loan portfolio. These conditions have led to an increase in the Bank’s classified assets during 2009. Management has recognized this trend in our analysis of the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2009. 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. If collateral values continue to decline, additions to the allowance for loan losses will be required and will have an adverse effect on the Corporation’s earnings through increases to the provision for loan losses.

Other real estate is comprised of real estate owned of $11,684,000 and real estate in redemption status of $3,788,000. Nine properties with a book value of $2,320,000 are currently generating rental income.
Other intangible assets.Other intangible assets were $0 at September 30, 2009 compared to $4,592,000 at December 31, 2008.
The Bank originally recorded intangible assets for the estimated value of core deposit accounts and borrower relationships acquired in the acquisitions of the Bank of Washtenaw and Fidelity. The intangible values represent the present value of the net revenue streams attributable to these intangibles.
The Bank recorded amortization expense for intangible assets of $595,000 and impairment expense for intangible assets of $3,997,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The impairment to the core deposit intangibles was primarily due to the erosion of core deposits at a faster rate than anticipated and the transfer of core deposits to time deposits. The impairment of the customer relationship intangible is primarily due to the migration of loans at a more rapid rate than expected and the impact of current economic conditions on the loan portfolio.

Accrued Interest Receivable.Accrued interest receivable at September 30, 2009 was $3,619,000 compared to $3,499,000 at December 31, 2008, an increase of $120,000 or 3%. The increase was primarily due to increases in the accrued interest receivable on loans.
Other Assets. Other assets at September 30, 2009 were $8,153,000 compared to $21,483,000 at December 31, 2008, a decrease of $13,330,000 or 62%. The decrease was due to the recording of a valuation allowance on the entire amount of the Corporation’s net deferred tax asset. The recording of this valuation allowance was necessary due to the uncertainty of the amount of the Corporation’s net operating loss carry forward that is eligible for utilization during the carry forward period due to the level of the Corporation’s taxable income during that period.
Deposits.Total deposits at September 30, 2009 were $904,954,000 compared to $938,395,000 at December 31, 2008, a decrease of $33,441,000 or 4%. The following is a summary of the distribution of deposits (in thousands):

The decrease in deposits was primarily due to the decrease in municipal and brokered time deposits during a period of decreasing interest rates and the accelerated liquidation of a wholesale money market deposit program by management. Management continues to implement a strategy to change the mix of the deposit portfolio by focusing more heavily on transaction accounts.

The Bank has implemented a strategy to utilize retail deposits as the primary funding for the Bank’s growth. Public funds and secured borrowings are also utilized as funding sources. The mix of these sources is determined by the Bank’s Asset and Liability Committee. The Bank has designated a public funds officer to coordinate and manage efforts to utilize public funds and brokered deposits. 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.
Brokered deposits are included in the Time, $100,000 and over category. Brokered deposits were $36,044,000, $97,997,000 and $101,977,000 at September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008, respectively.

Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase at September 30, 2009 were $2,302,000 compared to $2,461,000 at December 31, 2008, a decrease of $159,000 or 6%. These repurchase agreements are secured by securities owned by the Bank.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. Federal Home Loan Bank advances were $73,855,000 at September 30, 2009 compared to $65,019,000 at December 31, 2008, an increase of $8,836,000 or 14%. The increase was due to the initiation of an additional FHLB advance during the period.
Accrued Interest Payable. Accrued interest payable at September 30, 2009 was $956,000 compared to $1,695,000 at December 31, 2008, a decrease of $739,000 or 44%. The decrease was primarily due to the decreasing volume and cost of deposits.
Other Liabilities. Other liabilities at September 30, 2009 were $2,380,000 compared to $1,037,000 at December 31, 2008, an increase of $1,343,000 or 130%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the accrued premium for deposit insurance to the FDIC during the period.

Subordinated Debentures. Subordinated debentures were $10,000,000 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.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. Debt issue costs of $300,000 have been entirely amortized. During the third quarter of 2009, the Corporation elected to defer regularly scheduled quarterly interest payments on the Corporation’s subordinated debentures. The terms of the subordinated debentures allow for the deferral of regularly scheduled quarterly interest payments for up to twenty consecutive quarters.
Capital
Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2009 was $47,890,000 compared to $103,311,000 as of December 31, 2008, a decrease of $55,421,000 or 54%. The decrease was due to the net loss of $55,369,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The net loss during the period reflected a non-cash charge of $3,997,000 to record the impairment of the remaining unamortized portion of intangible assets and a non-cash charge of $26,976,000 to record a valuation allowance for the entire amount of the net tax deferred asset. When these two non-cash charges are excluded, the net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 was $24,396,000. The decrease in net income excluding these non-cash charges during nine month period ended September 30, 2009 was primarily due to the increase in the provision for loan loss, the decline in net interest income due to the elevated levels of non-performing loans and the increased costs related to real estate owned.
The Corporation has experienced large net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 due to the continued decline in economic conditions in Southeastern Michigan. The recent bankruptcy of two major automotive manufacturers and resulting shut down of production and layoffs of employees have negatively affected the operating results even though the Corporation does not have any direct exposure to the automotive industry. Additionally, economic conditions have continued to erode the value of residential real estate and commercial real estate in the Bank’s market area causing write-downs in the real estate owned portfolio further contributing to net losses. The impact of continuing net losses to the regulatory capital ratios is shown below. Based on the respective regulatory capital ratios, the Bank is considered to be undercapitalized at September 30, 2009 and to have been well capitalized at December 31, 2008.

The capital ratios disclosed in the middle column of the table above are minimum requirements. Higher capital ratios may be required by federal and state bank regulators if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profiles of specific institutions.
Applicable federal prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. Based on its regulatory capital ratios at September 30, 2009, the Bank is undercapitalized. Undercapitalized institutions are subject to close monitoring by their federal bank regulator, restrictions on asset growth and expansion, and other significantly greater regulatory restrictions than apply to well-capitalized or adequately capitalized institutions.

Table of Contents
Among other things, the Bank must prepare a detailed, written capital restoration plan, specifying the steps the Bank and the Corporation will take to bring the Bank’s capital ratios back into compliance with minimum applicable capital ratios. The plan must also include a statutorily-required guarantee of the Bank’s performance of the plan by its sole shareholder, the Corporation, which guarantee may require assurances, such as a pledge of the Corporation’s assets. The capital restoration plan must be submitted for approval to the Bank’s federal bank regulator, the FDIC.
A failure by the Bank timely to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan, or to perform in any material respect the terms of an approved capital restoration plan, would subject the Bank to all of the additional regulatory measures applicable to significantly undercapitalized institutions. Those measures include, in certain circumstances and among other things, requiring combination of the Bank with another depository institution or divestiture of the Bank by the Corporation.
Without the prior approval of the FDIC, the Bank is prohibited from paying any dividend, or making any other capital distribution to, the Corporation. The Bank is also forbidden to pay any management fee to the Corporation. These restrictions may materially adversely affect the cash flow of the Corporation.
Any proposed addition of any individual to the board of directors of the Corporation or the Bank, or the proposed employment of any individual as a senior executive officer of either, is subject to 30 days’ prior written notice to, and the absence of disapproval by, the FDIC. Moreover, an application to, and approval by, the FDIC will be required before the Bank may (i) enter into any agreement with any current or former director, officer, employee, or shareholder of the Bank or the Corporation (or any other current or former institution affiliated party of either) for a golden parachute payment or excess nondiscriminatory severance pay plan or arrangement (within the meaning of applicable FDIC regulations), or (ii) make any golden parachute payments or excess nondiscriminatory severance pay plan payments to any such persons.
In addition, unless consistent with an approved capital restoration plan and accompanied by a proportionate improvement in its capital ratios which will allow it to become adequately capitalized in a reasonable time, the Bank may not permit any increase, from quarter to quarter, in its average total assets. Further, unless the FDIC has approved its capital restoration plan, the Bank is implementing that plan, and the FDIC finds the proposed action is consistent with the plan, the Bank may not, directly or indirectly, acquire any company, depository institution or additional branch office, or engage in any new line of business.
The Bank is also prohibited from accepting funds obtained, directly or indirectly, by or through any deposit broker. Further, the Bank may not accept employee benefit plan deposits.
In light of the Bank’s continued losses and capital position at September 30, 2009, it is reasonable to anticipate further regulatory enforcement action by the bank regulators.
49
Table of Contents
The Corporation needs to raise sufficient capital during 2009 and 2010 to return the Bank to well-capitalized status. Management is considering various sources of capital and estimates the need to raise between $50 million and $75 million in capital during 2009 and 2010. Given the current economic environment, there can be no assurance the Corporation will be able to raise the estimated capital needed. Additionally, if real estate values in the Corporation’s market area continue to decline, this will negatively impact the loan portfolio and values of other real estate owned. Additional declines in real estate values would result in the need for additional provision expense resulting in increased losses and further reducing the Corporation’s and the Bank’s capital.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly discretionary, action by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements and raise substantial doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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.
51
Table of Contents
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 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, 2009, 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 include federal funds sold, securities available for sale, loan repayments, core deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and a federal funds purchase credit facility. Liquidity is continually measured and discussed. When liquidity and funding projections indicate that liquidity levels are not adequate to meet the current or projected liquidity needs of the Bank, management intends to make adjustments to improve the liquidity position.
The Corporation reduced its reliance on federal funds lines of credit as a primary source of funds during the second and third quarters of 2008. During the third quarter of 2008, the credit environment became very unstable and the ability to use unsecured federal funds lines of credit became very limited. As the Corporation had already reduced its reliance upon these lines of credit as a funding source, the Corporation was not significantly affected. However, this situation has affected management’s process of maintaining adequate levels of liquidity. As this source of overnight funding has decreased significantly, management has increased the amount of cash and cash equivalents in order to maintain an adequate level of liquidity. Management has also increased the amount of securities, available for sale and interest bearing deposits with banks that can be utilized as collateral against short-term borrowings. The increase in the amount of cash and cash equivalents and securities, available for sale is funded primarily with deposits and decreases in loans.
During the third quarter of 2009, the Corporation elected to defer regularly scheduled quarterly interest payments on the Corporation’s subordinated debentures for the purpose of supplementing holding company liquidity. The terms of the subordinated debentures allow for the deferral of regularly scheduled quarterly interest payments for up to twenty consecutive quarters. The deferral of interest on the subordinated debentures will result in a corresponding annual deferral of distributions on the trust preferred securities of approximately $500,000, based on current interest rates.
The Corporation is currently considering other alternatives to further supplement holding company liquidity, which has decreased primarily due to the Corporation’s repurchase of common stock. One alternative that is being considered is the financing or sale/leaseback of two office buildings that are owned by the Corporation. A decision on the financing or sale/leaseback of the two office buildings that are owned by the Corporation has not been reached at this time.

All of the risk factors should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this report because they could cause the actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. Before you buy the Corporation’s common stock, you should know that investing in the common stock involves risks, including the risks described in the Corporation’s annual report and described below. The risks highlighted here and in the Corporation’s annual report are not the only ones the Corporation faces. If the adverse matters referred to in any of the risk factors actually occurs, the Corporation’s business, financial condition or operations could be adversely and materially affected. In that case, the trading price of the Corporation’s common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
The Corporation may not be able to meet federal regulatory requirements regarding the restoration of capital of the Bank.
As of September 30, 2009, the Bank is “undercapitalized” by regulatory capital standards. As a result, the Bank will be required to prepare a detailed, written capital restoration plan, specifying the steps the Bank and the Corporation will take to bring the Bank’s capital ratios back into compliance with minimum applicable capital ratios. The plan must also include a statutorily-required guarantee of the Bank’s performance of the plan by its sole shareholder, the Corporation, which guarantee may require assurances, such as a pledge of the Corporation’s assets. The capital restoration plan must be submitted to the Bank’s federal bank regulator, the FDIC, for approval.
The Bank’s ability to submit a capital restoration plan that will be acceptable to the FDIC, and the Bank’s ability to comply with the requirements of such a plan, are uncertain. Although the Corporation is actively considering alternatives for raising capital, no adequate and satisfactory source of additional capital has been found. The Corporation’s ability to raise additional capital is significantly restricted by several factors, and there is a meaningful possibility the Corporation will not be successful in raising additional capital and meeting the regulatory requirements.
If the Bank fails to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan or if the Bank and the Corporation are unable to comply with any plan that is accepted by the FDIC, it is likely the FDIC would take increasingly severe actions against the Bank which could, in extreme circumstances, lead to a seizure of the Bank’s assets and a liquidation or other closure of the Bank.

The Bank’s capital may not be sufficient to support the risk inherent in its loan portfolio.
The Bank maintains capital as a means of absorbing losses resulting from the Bank’s operations. The recent losses incurred by the Bank have significantly depleted the Bank’s capital, resulting in the Bank being considered “undercapitalized” pursuant to regulatory capital standards. Among other things, a continuing decline in the collectability of the Bank’s loans, a continuing decline in the value of the collateral supporting those loans, or both, would require the Bank to increase its allowance for loan and lease losses, which would further deplete existing capital. Because of the difficult economic conditions in the areas where the Bank operates, it is reasonable to assume the Bank will continue to incur operating losses. The Bank’s current capital may be insufficient to absorb future operating losses and, unless the Bank is successful in raising additional capital or taking other steps meaningfully to reduce the risk in its loan portfolio, this lack of capital is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, results of operations, and financial condition and, in extreme circumstances, could result in the closure or liquidation of the Bank.
The Bank will be subject to higher deposit insurance premiums as a result of its capital position.
As a member of the FDIC, the Bank pays assessments to the FDIC quarterly for insurance of the deposits of its customers to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, and regulations of the FDIC. The amount of the deposit insurance assessment is determined by multiplying an assessment rate, established for each institution by the FDIC on a risk-adjusted basis, times the institution’s assessment base, as determined from its quarterly report of condition. The risk-adjustment to the assessment rate involves the assignment by the FDIC of each insured institution to one of four risk categories, which reflect the institution’s capital position and supervisory evaluations. An initial assessment rate is determined on the basis of the assigned risk category, and then adjusted further (either up or down) for other characteristics of the institution, including outstanding unsecured and secured debt, and for some institutions, reliance on brokered deposits. The resulting total assessment rates currently may range from 7-24 basis points for well-capitalized banks having the best supervisory evaluations, to 40-77.5 basis points for banks presenting the greatest risk to the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) of the FDIC. The assessment rate range possible for an undercapitalized institution such as the Bank currently extends from a low of 27-58 basis points to a high of 40-77.5 basis points. The FDIC has uniformly increased the annual assessment rates for all insured institutions by 3 basis points, effective January 1, 2011.

The Bank may be required to pay additional insurance assessments to the FDIC in 2009 for its federal deposit insurance.
Like all insured banks, on June 30, 2009, the Bank was required to pay a special deposit insurance assessment to the FDIC (beyond the risk-based assessments published for 2009) because insured institution failures resulting from deterioration in banking and economic conditions have adversely impacted the DIF of the FDIC and reduced its reserve ratio. The special assessment paid by the Bank was $459,000. On September 29, 2009, the FDIC published a proposed rule permitting the FDIC to require the prepayment, on December 30, 2009, of deposit insurance premiums for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011, and 2012 (the “Prepayment Period”), in addition to the payment of the assessment for the third quarter of 2009, which is due on that date. On November 12, 2009, the FDIC board of directors adopted the proposed rule, with some modifications. Under the final rule, absent an exemption, each insured institution, including the Bank, would be required to prepay assessments for the Prepayment Period, with such amounts to be applied against its regular quarterly risk-based insurance assessment liability during the Prepayment Period. Any excess prepayment amounts remaining after collection by the FDIC of amounts due it on June 30, 2013, will be returned to the prepaying institution. The final rule provides that the FDIC on its own initiative may exempt from the prepayment requirement any institution for which the FDIC determines that prepayment would adversely affect the safety and soundness of the institution. The FDIC will give an institution notice of such exemption by November 23, 2009. Any institution so exempted may apply to the FDIC for withdrawal of the exemption and permission to make the prepayment. In addition, the rule permits any institution to apply, on or before December 1, 2009, for an exemption from the prepayment requirement if prepayment would significantly impair the institution’s liquidity, or would otherwise create extraordinary hardship. An application for exemption shall be deemed denied unless the FDIC notifies the applying institution by December 15, 2009, either that (i) the institution is exempt, or (ii) the FDIC has postponed determination until no later than January 14, 2010, in which cases the institution will not be required to make the prepayment on December 30, 2009. If the FDIC ultimately denies a postponed application, the due date for payment of the required prepayment by the applying institution will be no less than 15 days after the date of notice of the denial. Adoption of the rule does not preclude the FDIC from making further changes to assessment rates or the insurance assessment system at any time during the Prepayment Period or thereafter. Based on current information, the Bank estimates that the deposit insurance assessment prepayment amount it will be required to pay on December 30, 2009 will be approximately $7,350,000. Given the special assessment imposed on June 30, 2009, and the required prepayment of assessments under the final rule, the Corporation anticipates that FDIC deposit insurance assessments will have a significantly greater impact upon operating expenses in 2009 than they did in 2008.
Further deterioration of the real estate market and the economy would further materially adversely affect the Corporation’s business, liquidity and financial results.
The Bank’s loan portfolio is concentrated in loans secured by commercial real estate. As a result, the significant downturn in the real estate market has had a substantial negative effect on the Bank’s business and has contributed to increased levels of delinquent and non-accruing assets, charge-offs and loss reserves. These events, if they continue or worsen, will have a further material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operation of the Bank and the Corporation.

A segment of the Bank’s loans are construction loans which involve the additional risk that a project may not be completed, increasing the risk of loss.
Approximately 11% of our real estate loan portfolio as of September 30, 2009 was comprised of construction and land development loans. Repayment of such loans is dependent upon the successful completion of the construction project, on time and within budget, and the successful sale of the completed project. If a borrower is unable to complete a construction project or if the marketability of the completed development is impaired, proceeds from the sale of the subject property may be insufficient to repay the loan. Further deterioration in any of the real estate markets the Bank serves is likely to further damage the marketability of these projects; as a result, the Bank may incur further loan losses which will adversely affect its results of operations.
The Bank may not pay any capital distribution or management fees to the Corporation.
Without the prior approval of the FDIC, the Bank is prohibited from paying any dividend, or making any other capital distribution to, the Corporation. The Bank is also forbidden to pay any management fee to the Corporation. These restrictions may materially adversely affect the cash flow of the Corporation.
Because the Bank is undercapitalized, its ability to accept certain types of deposits is limited, which may adversely affect its business, liquidity and financial results.
The Bank is prohibited from accepting funds obtained, directly or indirectly, by or through any deposit broker. The Bank currently has substantial amounts of such deposits. There can be no assurance that the Bank will be able to replace such brokered deposits from other sources. Further, the Bank may not accept employee benefit plan deposits. These restrictions may adversely affect the Bank’s ability to continue to fund its assets at current levels.
The Bank’s ability to grow, to offer new products, or to engage in new lines of business, is subject to regulatory restrictions.
Unless consistent with an approved capital restoration plan and accompanied by a proportionate improvement in its capital ratios which will allow it to become adequately capitalized in a reasonable time, the Bank may not permit any increase, from quarter to quarter, in its average total assets. Further, unless the FDIC has approved its capital restoration plan, the Bank is implementing that plan, and the FDIC finds the proposed action is consistent with the plan, the Bank may not, directly or indirectly, acquire any company, depository institution or additional branch office, or engage in any new line of business.
The Bank’s allowance for loan and lease losses may not be sufficient to cover actual loan losses, which could adversely affect its results of operations. Additional loan losses will likely occur in the future and may occur at a rate greater than the Bank has experienced to date.

As a lender, the Bank is exposed to the risk that its loan customers may not repay their loans according to their terms and that the collateral or guarantees securing those loans may be insufficient to assure repayment. The Bank’s current allowance may not be sufficient to cover future loan losses. The Bank may experience significant loan losses that could have a material adverse effect on its operating results. Management makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of the loan portfolio, which are regularly reevaluated. In determining the size of the allowance, management relies on assessments of relevant factors, including loan growth, if any, types and amounts of non-performing loans, historical and anticipated loss experience on such types of loans, and current economic conditions. If the assumptions, judgments or assessments prove to be incorrect, the current allowance may not be sufficient. The Bank may have to make additional adjustments in its allowance for the remainder of 2009, and possibly beyond, in the event of further deterioration in the local real estate markets and the national or local economies. In addition, federal regulators periodically evaluate the adequacy of the Bank’s allowance and may require it to increase its provision for loan and lease losses or recognize further loan charge-offs based on judgments different than those of the Bank’s management. Any further increase in the allowance or loan charge-offs could have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s results of operations. In addition, the Bank may be subject to further regulatory action as a result of the quality of its loan portfolio and its overall allowance for loan losses.
If the Corporation fails to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Market, its common stock could be delisted.
The Corporation’s common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. As a Nasdaq Global Market listed company, it is required to comply with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules to maintain its listing status. Among these continued listing requirements is the requirement that the Corporation’s common stock maintain a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share. Recently, the Corporation’s common stock has generally traded below the minimum closing bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. If the closing bid price for the Corporation’s common stock falls below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, Nasdaq is expected to deliver a deficiency letter to the Corporation for failing to meet this continued listing requirement and require compliance with this requirement within 180 days after the deficiency unless another extension is permitted under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. If the Corporation is unable to regain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirements the common stock will be delisted.
Delisting from the Nasdaq Global Market could reduce the ability of investors to purchase or sell the Corporation’s common stock as quickly and as inexpensively as they have done historically and could subject transactions in the Corporation’s securities to the penny stock rules. Furthermore, failure to obtain listing on another market or exchange may make it more difficult for traders to sell the Corporation’s securities. Broker-dealers may be less willing to make a market in the Corporation’s securities. Not maintaining a listing on a major stock market or exchange may result in a material decline in the market price of the Corporation’s common stock due to a decrease in liquidity and reduced interest by institutions and individuals in investing in the Corporation’s securities. Delisting could also make it more difficult for the Corporation to raise capital in the future.
