Acquisition of Fidelity Financial Corporation of Michigan
On September 14, 2006, we announced the execution of a definitive merger agreement to acquire Fidelity Financial Corporation of Michigan (“Fidelity”). Fidelity is a bank holding company headquartered in Birmingham, Michigan and is the parent of Fidelity Bank. Under the terms of the merger agreement, we will acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Fidelity in exchange for $70.5 million in cash. Although we are acquiring the stock of Fidelity, for federal income tax purposes the transaction will be treated as an acquisition of Fidelity’s assets and assumption of its liabilities. We intend to merge Fidelity with and into the company. At June 30, 2006, Fidelity had assets of $251 million, deposits of $217 million, loans of $185 million and stockholders’ equity of $29 million. Fidelity operates seven branches and one loan production office in Oakland County, Michigan. We expect to receive regulatory approval of the transaction from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) in the fourth quarter of 2006. We expect to complete the acquisition in January 2007, subject to closing conditions. See “Pending Acquisition of Fidelity Financial Corporation of Michigan”.
Based on data available from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as of June 30, 2006, Fidelity’s total deposits ranked 15th among financial institutions in Oakland County, Michigan. Assuming completion of our acquisition of Fidelity, our total deposits will rank 11th among financial institutions in our pro forma four-county market area (excluding the City of Detroit). Fidelity’s deposit mix consisted of approximately 90% core deposits as of June 30, 2006. In addition, Fidelity had a loan to deposit ratio of approximately 86% as of June 30, 2006, and an in-house lending limit of $3 million as of that date.
Business Strategy
Grow Through Branch Expansion. Since commencing operations, our growth has mainly been accomplished internally. Our growth strategy is to create a commercial lending franchise concentrated in select communities. We expect to continue our historic pattern of expanding our footprint by adding offices in contiguous areas of our existing market and by filling gaps between our existing offices. Our planned opening of a new branch in Shelby Township, Michigan in the fourth quarter of 2006 is part of this strategy. We believe that the demographics and growth characteristics within the communities we serve should also provide significant opportunities for us to grow our loan and deposit relationships at our existing offices.
Grow Through Selected Acquisitions. Another part of our growth strategy is to continue pursuing selected acquisitions. In 2004, we acquired Bank of Washtenaw and have successfully completed its integration into our operations. We believe that we have the ability to integrate the operational and cultural aspects of other institutions given the acquisition experience of our management. We intend to focus on organizations that have already proven to be successful in their respective market areas, and where we believe integration risk to be low. Our pending acquisition of Fidelity is part of this strategy.
Emphasize Community Banking. We strive to maintain a strong commitment to community banking. Our goal is to attract small- to medium-sized businesses, as well as individuals as customers who wish to conduct business with a local commercial bank that demonstrates an active interest in their business and personal affairs. We are becoming increasingly sophisticated in our ability to analyze our customer relationships, which increases our ability to recognize the opportunity to offer additional products and services that will expand each relationship. We believe our ability to deliver products and services in a highly personalized manner helps differentiate us from larger, regional banks operating in our market area.
Hire Experienced, Local Bankers. Our strategy has revolved around the hiring of experienced, local banking professionals and relationship managers to run our offices, call on customers and originate loans and deposits. We encourage our employees to be active in community affairs and business, trade and service organizations. Our senior loan officers have an average of over 20 years of experience in the financial services industry and have operated in our market area through a wide range of economic cycles and lending market conditions. We believe that the recruitment of banking professionals with significant experience in, and knowledge of, our markets facilitates our growth and partially mitigates the credit risk associated with our rapidly growing loan portfolio.
Capitalize on Consolidation in Our Market. Several of the financial institutions within our market area have either been acquired by, or merged with, larger orout-of-state financial institutions. These acquisitions have
2

included: Royal Bank of Scotland Group, Plc’s acquisition of Charter One Financial, Inc., J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.’s acquisition of Bank One Corporation, ABN AMRO Holding N.V.’s acquisition of Michigan National Corporation, and Fifth Third Bancorp’s acquisition of Old Kent Financial Corporation. In some cases, when these consolidations occurred, the ensuing employee and customer disruptions created opportunities for us to attract experienced personnel and establish relationships with customers wishing to conduct business with a locally-managed institution with strong ties to the community. We have positioned ourselves to capitalize on business opportunities that may result from customer dislocation associated with these and future consolidations.
Control Our Operating Costs. Our practice of employing fewer, but highly qualified and productive individuals at all levels of the organization is key to maintaining a decentralized management structure. These individuals are able to manage large loan portfolios, which increases interest income while controlling personnel costs. Additionally, to manage our growth in an efficient manner, we continue to enhance our operating procedures and in 2004 we opened an operations center in Allen Park, Michigan that consolidated many of our administrative and support functions. This facility houses our data processing, accounting, auditing, compliance, customer support, and mortgage operations activities.
Focus on Commercial Real Estate Lending. While we offer a full range of consumer and commercial loan products, our primary lending focus will continue to be providing local businesses with loans secured by owner-occupied real estate. Typically, we seek commercial real estate lending relationships with customers borrowing from $500,000 to $4 million. Although our legal lending limit was approximately $12 million as of June 30, 2006, our Board of Directors has set our current in-house lending limit at $6 million. Our in-house limit accommodates the vast majority of lending opportunities we encounter. If local businesses have credit needs beyond the scope of our in-house lending capacity, we may participate out a portion of the credit with other financial institutions in order to accommodate our customers’ needs. As of June 30, 2006, commercial real estate loans comprised 72% of our loan portfolio.
Market Area
Our current market area includes Wayne, Macomb, Washtenaw and Oakland Counties, which are all located in southeastern Michigan. We currently have offices in the following communities: Ann Arbor, Auburn Hills, Canton Township, Clinton Township, Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, Plymouth Township, Saline, and Southgate, Michigan. Our market area has a diverse economy based primarily on manufacturing, retail and service businesses and contains the headquarters for twenty-three Fortune 500 companies. According to 2000 U.S. Census Data, the populations of Wayne (excluding the City of Detroit), Macomb, Washtenaw and Oakland Counties totaled 3,414,967, while median household incomes for such counties were $50,848, $58,598, $59,069 and $69,794, respectively.
Our market area represents a significant banking market in the State of Michigan. According to the FDIC, total deposits in Wayne (excluding the City of Detroit), Macomb, Washtenaw, and Oakland Counties, including those of banks and thrifts, were approximately $72.7 billion as of June 30, 2006, which accounted for approximately 47.7% of the total deposit market share in the State of Michigan and has increased approximately 43.9% from $50.5 billion in deposits as of June 30, 2000.
Our announced acquisition of Fidelity will add seven offices in the Oakland County, Michigan communities of Birmingham, Bloomfield Township, Bingham Farms, and Southfield (4). Oakland County is one of the largest and most affluent counties in the United States. According to the most recent U.S. Census Data, out of 38 counties throughout the United States with a population over one million, Oakland County has the 4th highest per capita household income and is ranked 6th based on the percentage of its workforce employed in management, professional, and related occupations. In 2000, 45% of the workers in Oakland County were in management, professional, and related occupations, as compared to 32% and 34% for the State of Michigan and the United States, respectively. According to 2003 U.S. Census estimates, the median home value in Oakland County was $213,696, which is 57% and 53% above the median home values for the State of Michigan and United States, respectively. Additionally, based on 2005 U.S. Census estimates, Oakland County experienced the 4th largest population increase of any county in the State of Michigan from 2000 — 2005, and in 2005 was the 2nd largest county in the State of Michigan and the 31st largest county in the United States based on total population.

Oakland County is a leading center of international commerce and foreign investment. According to the Oakland County Department of Planning and Economic Development, Oakland County exports over $10 billion in goods and services to 145 countries annually, and is ranked 9th among counties in the United States based on the number of manufacturing firms that export to foreign countries.

Recent Developments
On October 17, 2006, we reported third quarter earnings of $1,565,000, a decrease of $514,000 or 25% compared to the third quarter of 2005. Fully diluted earnings of $0.26 per share were down 26% from $0.35 per share for the prior year third quarter after adjusting for the increase in shares outstanding as a result of the stock dividend. For the nine monthsyear-to-date, earnings rose $311,000 or 6% when compared to the same period last year. Fully diluted earnings of $0.93 per share for the 2006 nine-month period were up 6% from $0.88 per share for the prior-year period after adjusting for the stock dividend. The decrease in earnings for the quarter was primarily due to increases in the provision for loan losses and non-interest expense and a decrease in net interest income. The increase in the nine-month period is primarily due to the improvement in net interest income and the recognition of an other than temporary impairment of securities during the second quarter of 2005.
Net interest income decreased $207,000 or 3% from the third quarter of 2005 to $6,846,000 for the third quarter of 2006. The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2006 was 3.65%, a decrease from 4.20% for the same period in 2005. The decrease in the third quarter was caused primarily by an increase in the cost of deposits.
Non-interest income totaled $297,000 for the third quarter of 2006, a decrease of $8,000 or 3% compared to the same period last year. The decrease during the period was primarily attributed to the decrease in the gain on sale of loans during the period that was the result of decreased volume in residential lending activity during 2006.
Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2006 increased $340,000 or 9% over the same period last year to $4,301,000, supporting our strong balance sheet growth. Salaries and benefits increased $280,000 or 12% when compared to the same period last year, as the number of full-time employees grew from 147 to 156 over the last

twelve months. The efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2006 was 60.2% compared to 53.8% for the third quarter of 2005.
At September 30, 2006, assets totaled $787,799,000, an increase of $87,402,000 or 12% over September 30, 2005. Loans grew $96,027,000 or 15% from September 30, 2005 to September 30, 2006 and were funded primarily by new deposits. Deposits were up $77,157,000 or 13% at September 30, 2006 compared to September 30, 2005, with much of the growth occurring through the introduction and promotion of an interest checking product in February 2006.
We anticipate that loan growth will continue in the foreseeable future and that funding for our balance sheet growth and liquidity needs will continue to come from a variety of sources including retail deposits, public funds, brokered deposits, and FHLB advances.
We believe that asset quality remains strong. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans at September 30, 2006 was 0.65% compared to 0.16% at September 30, 2005, with allowance for loan losses coverage of non-performing loans at 158.94% at September 30, 2006 compared to 671.67% at September 30, 2005. At June 30, 2006, non performing loans were 0.71% of total loans and the allowance for loan losses coverage ratio was 144.12%. The increase in non-performing loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is primarily due to the downgrading of one construction loan and two commercial real estate loans to non-accrual status. These loans are analyzed for impairment and specifically allocated for, as needed, in the allowance for loan losses computation. Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $9,000, compared to net charge-offs of $107,000 for the same period last year. The provision for loan losses during the third quarter of 2006 was $470,000, compared to $248,000 for the third quarter of 2005. The increase in provision during the third quarter of 2006 was driven by loan growth of $45.0 million during that period compared to $9.3 million in 2005, partially offset by lower net charge-offs in 2006. The allowance for loan losses was 1.03% of total loans at September 30, 2006. 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. We consider the allowance for loan losses to be adequate; however, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses.

Summary Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data
The summary pro forma financial information set forth below gives effect to the following transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2005, in the case of statements of income data, and June 30, 2006, in the case of balance sheet data:
• | the sale of 2,700,000 shares of common stock in this offering assuming an offering price of $23.35; and | |
• | our acquisition of Fidelity, including certain estimated mark to market adjustments required by purchase accounting. |
Fidelity’s loans, deposits and premises and equipment will be reviewed by a third party in order to determine the fair value of these assets and liabilities. This review will take place after the acquisition of Fidelity. We do not expect these adjustments to be significant. The recognition of these adjustments will affect recorded goodwill. Since this transaction is a taxable acquisition, there are no deferred tax assets or liabilities recorded related to the purchase accounting adjustments. The balance of these adjustments will be amortized or accreted into income over the estimated lives of the related assets and liabilities.
The pro forma financial information does not purport to be indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have actually occurred or existed if the transactions had occurred on the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of our future operating results or our financial position. The pro forma adjustments are based on the information and assumptions available at the date of this prospectus. This pro forma information does not include

any cost savings or other financial and operating benefits that may be achieved or realized as a result of the Fidelity acquisition. The information regarding Fidelity contained in this prospectus is unaudited and has been obtained from Fidelity.

(1) | We estimate that our net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and other estimated expenses, will be approximately $59.6 million (assuming an estimated offering price of $23.35 per share and excluding any proceeds from the exercise of the underwriters’ over allotment option, if exercised). We will use cash obtained through a reduction in federal funds sold to fund the remainder of the purchase price of our acquisition of Fidelity. The reduction in federal funds sold was calculated in the following manner: |
Net proceeds from the offering | $ | 59,593 | ||
Purchase price of our acquisition of Fidelity | (70,500 | ) | ||

(2) | To record core deposit intangibles, borrower relationship intangibles, and goodwill. Based on the acquisition of the Bank of Washtenaw in 2004, we estimate the core deposit intangible premium to be 2% of demand deposits and the borrower relationship intangible premium to be 2.5% of commercial loans. We believe that the nature and characteristics of the demand deposits and commercial loans of Fidelity are similar to those of the Bank of Washtenaw. Total estimated intangible assets were calculated in the following manner: |

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock involves risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors before you decide to buy our common stock. You should also consider other information in this prospectus, as well as in the other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus. If any of these risks actually occur, our business could be adversely affected, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or a part of your investment.
We may not be able to consummate the Fidelity acquisition during the time frame currently contemplated or at all which may result in the dilution of earnings per share and a possible decline in our stock price.
We cannot give any assurance that we will be able to consummate the Fidelity acquisition during the time frame currently contemplated or at all. In the event that the closing of the acquisition is delayed or does not occur, and if the common stock in this offering has been issued, stockholders will suffer earnings per share dilution which may have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock.
We may experience greater than expected difficulties in integrating Fidelity into our operations resulting in our inability to realize the expected benefits and cost savings from the acquisition.
The acquisition of Fidelity will involve the integration of two financial institutions that have previously operated independently of one another. We expect to realize cost savings together with other financial and operating benefits from the acquisition of Fidelity, but there can be no assurance as to when, or the extent to which, if at all, the Company will be able to realize these benefits. We may experience greater than expected difficulties in integrating Fidelity’s business, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to realize the expected benefits of the acquisition.
There are many things that could go wrong and adversely affect the business and profitability of the combined financial institution. We cannot predict the full range of post-acquisition problems that may occur. Some possible difficulties include:
• | the integration of the business of the company and Fidelity takes longer, or is more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; | |
• | the expected growth opportunities and cost savings from the transaction are not fully realized or take longer to realize than expected; | |
• | economic conditions deteriorate in southeastern Michigan, the primary market of both the Company and Fidelity; or | |
• | operating costs, customer losses, and business disruption following the acquisition, including adverse effects on relationships with employees, are greater than expected. |
Because Fidelity is a private company, it is not subject to the public reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting, including those required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If we are unable to integrate Fidelity’s internal controls with our own before the end of 2007, we may have to exclude Fidelity from our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and that, in turn, could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and could adversely effect our stock price.
Adverse economic conditions in the automobile manufacturing and related service industries may impact our banking business.
The automobile manufacturing industry has experienced significant economic difficulties over the past five years, which, in turn, has adversely impacted a number of related industries that serve the automobile manufacturing industry, including automobile parts suppliers. Recently, Delphi Corporation and Collins & Aikman Corporation, two automobile suppliers located in our banking market, declared bankruptcy, and a number of other companies serving the automobile industry and located in our banking market are facing ongoing economic pressures. We cannot assure you that the economic conditions in the automobile manufacturing and related service

industries will improve at any time in the foreseeable future or that adverse economic conditions in these industries will not impact our bank.
Adverse changes in economic conditions or interest rates may negatively affect our earnings, capital and liquidity.
The results of operations for financial institutions, including our bank, may be materially and adversely affected by changes in prevailing local and national economic conditions, including declines in real estate market values and the related declines in value of our real estate collateral, rapid increases or decreases in interest rates and changes in the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government. Our profitability is heavily influenced by the spread between the interest rates we earn on investments and loans and the interest rates we pay on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Substantially all our loans are to businesses and individuals in southeastern Michigan, and any decline in the economy of this area could adversely affect our customers’ ability to repay such loans and our ability to make new loans to credit worthy borrowers. Like most banking institutions, our net interest spread and margin will be affected by general economic conditions and other factors that influence market interest rates and our ability to respond to changes in these rates. At any given time, our assets and liabilities will be such that they will be affected differently by a given change in interest rates.
Our credit losses could increase and our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual loan losses resulting in a decrease in our net income and earnings per share and a possible decline in our stock price.
The risk of non-payment of loans is inherent in all lending activities, and non-payment, if it occurs, may have a materially adverse effect on our earnings and overall financial condition as well as the value of our common stock. Our focus on commercial lending may result in an increased concentration of loans to small businesses. As a result, we may assume greater lending risks than other banks. We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of our loan portfolio and provide an allowance for losses based on several factors. If our assumptions are wrong, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover our losses, which would have an adverse effect on our operating results. While we have not experienced any significant charge-offs or had large numbers of non-performing loans, due to the significant increase in loans originated since we began operations we cannot assure you that we will not experience an increase in delinquencies and losses as these loans continue to mature. The actual amount of future provisions for loan losses cannot be determined at this time and may exceed the amount of past provisions. Additions to our allowance for loan losses decrease our net income and earnings per share and may have an adverse effect on our stock price.
Our commercial real estate loans involve higher principal amounts than other loans, and repayment of these loans may be dependent on factors outside our control or the control of our borrowers.
Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and the repayment of these loans generally is dependent, in large part, on sufficient income from the properties securing the loans to cover operating expenses and debt service. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate often depend upon the successful operating and management of the properties, repayment of these loans may be affected by factors outside the borrower’s control, including adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. If the cash flow from the property is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan and the value of the security for the loan may be impaired. At June 30, 2006, commercial real estate loans totaled $504 million, or 72% of our total loan portfolio. Because our loan portfolio contains a number of commercial real estate loans with relatively large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in our percentage of non-performing loans. An increase in non-performing loans could result in a loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for loan losses and an increase in charge-offs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our growth and expansion may be limited by many factors.
We have pursued and intend to continue to pursue an internal growth strategy, the success of which will depend primarily on generating an increasing level of loans and deposits at acceptable risk and interest rate levels without
14
Table of Contents
commensurate increases in non-interest expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in continuing our growth strategy due to delays and other impediments resulting from regulatory oversight, limited availability of qualified personnel, or unavailability of branch sites. The time and costs of evaluating new markets, hiring experienced local management and opening new offices and the time lags between these activities and the generation of sufficient assets and deposits to support the costs of the expansion may negatively affect our business. In addition, the success of our growth strategy will depend on maintaining sufficient regulatory capital levels and on adequate economic conditions in our market area.
In addition to the pending acquisition of Fidelity, we continually seek to acquire other financial institutions or parts of those institutions. Acquisitions and mergers involve a number of risks, including:
• | the time and costs associated with identifying and evaluating potential acquisitions and merger partners may negatively affect our business; | |
• | the estimates and judgments used to evaluate credit, operations, management and market risks with respect to the target institution may not be accurate; | |
• | we may not be able to finance an acquisition without diluting our existing stockholders; | |
• | the diversion of our management’s attention to the negotiation of a transaction may detract from their business productivity; | |
• | we may enter into new markets where we lack experience; | |
• | we may introduce new products and services into our business with which we have no prior experience; and | |
• | we may incur an impairment of goodwill associated with an acquisition and experience adverse short-term effects on our results of operations. |
In addition, no assurance can be given that we will be able to integrate our operations after an acquisition without encountering difficulties including, without limitation, the loss of key employees and customers, the disruption of our respective ongoing businesses or possible inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies. Successful integration of our operations with another entity’s will depend primarily on our ability to consolidate operations, systems and procedures, to establish appropriate internal controls, and to eliminate redundancies and costs. If we have difficulties with the integration, we might not achieve the economic benefits we expect to result from any particular acquisition or merger. In addition, we may experience greater than expected costs or difficulties relating to such integration.
We rely heavily on our management and other key personnel, and the loss of any of them may adversely affect our operations.
We are and will continue to be dependent upon the services of our management team, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our other senior managers. Losing one or more key members of the management team could adversely affect our operations. We do not have employment contracts or key man life insurance on any of our officers or directors, other than Mr. Michael J. Ross, our President and Chief Executive Officer.
In addition, we will continue to depend on our key commercial loan officers. We have several commercial loan officers who are responsible, or share responsibility, for generating and managing a significant portion of our commercial loan portfolio. Our success can be attributed in large part to the relationships these officers as well as members of our management team have developed and are able to maintain with our customers as we continue to implement our community banking philosophy. The loss of any of these commercial loan officers could adversely affect our loan portfolio and performance, and our ability to generate new loans.
Some of the other financial institutions in our market require their key employees to sign agreements that preclude or limit their ability to leave their employment and compete with them or solicit their customers. These agreements make it more difficult for us to hire loan officers with experience in our market who can immediately solicit their former or new customers on our behalf.

Our future success is dependent on our ability to compete effectively in the highly competitive banking industry.
We face substantial competition in all phases of our operations from a variety of different competitors. Our future growth and success will depend on our ability to compete effectively in this highly competitive environment. We compete for deposits, loans and other financial services with numerous Michigan-based andout-of-state banks, thrifts, credit unions and other financial institutions as well as other entities that provide financial services. Some of the financial institutions and financial service organizations with which we compete are not subject to the same degree of regulation as we are. Most of our competitors have been in business for many years, have established customer bases, are larger, have substantially higher lending limits than we do and offer other services which we do not, including trust services, brokerage, mutual funds and international banking services. The primary competitors in our market area are JPMorganChase, Charter One Bank, N.A., Comerica Incorporated, Fifth Third Bancorp, National City Corporation and LaSalle Bank Midwest National Association. Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, effective March 11, 2000, securities firms and insurance companies that elect to become financial holding companies may acquire banks and other financial institutions. The financial services industry is also likely to become more competitive as further technological advances enable more companies to provide financial services. These technological advances may diminish the importance of depository institutions and other financial intermediaries in the transfer of funds between parties.
Growth and stockholder returns may be adversely affected if sources of capital are not available to help us meet them.
Since inception, we have sought to maximize stockholder returns by leveraging our capital. While we believe that earnings from our operations will enable us to continue to grow for the next two to three years, if earnings do not meet our current estimates, if we incur unanticipated losses or expenses, or if we grow faster than expected, we may need to obtain additional capital through borrowing, additional issuances of debt or equity securities, or otherwise. If we do not have continued access to sufficient capital, we may be required to reduce our level of assets or reduce our rate of growth in order to maintain regulatory compliance. Under those circumstances our net income and the rate of growth of our net income may be adversely affected.
We are subject to significant government regulation, and any regulatory changes may adversely affect us.
The banking industry is heavily regulated under both federal and state law. These regulations are primarily intended to protect customers, not our creditors or stockholders. As a bank holding company, we are also subject to extensive regulation by the Federal Reserve Board, in addition to other regulatory and self- regulatory organizations. Our ability to establish new facilities or make acquisitions is conditioned upon the receipt of the required regulatory approvals from these organizations. Regulations affecting banks and financial services companies undergo continuous change, and we cannot predict the ultimate effect of these changes, which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability or financial condition.
We continually encounter technological change, and we may have fewer resources than our competitors to continue to invest in technological improvements.
The banking industry is undergoing technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. In addition to better serving customers, the effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce costs. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands for convenience as well as creating additional efficiencies in our operations. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively acquire and implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our customers.

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and the laws of Michigan contain provisions that may discourage or prevent a takeover of the company and reduce any takeover premium.
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, and the corporate laws of the State of Michigan, include provisions which are designed to provide our board of directors with time to consider whether a hostile takeover offer is in our and our stockholders’ best interest. These provisions, however, could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control. The provisions also could diminish the opportunities for a holder of our common stock to participate in tender offers, including tender offers at a price above the then-current market price for our common stock. These provisions could also prevent transactions in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices, and may limit the ability of our stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests.
The Michigan Business Corporation Act contains provisions intended to protect stockholders and prohibit or discourage various types of hostile takeover activities. In addition to these provisions and the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, federal law requires the Federal Reserve Board’s approval prior to acquiring “control” of a bank holding company. All of these provisions may delay or prevent a change in control without action by our stockholders, and could adversely affect the price of our common stock.
There is a limited trading market for our common stock.
The price at which our common stock is offered in this offering may be greater than the market price for our common stock following the offering. The price of our common stock has been, and will continue to be, subject to fluctuations based on, among other things, economic and market conditions for bank holding companies and the stock market in general, as well as changes in investor perceptions of the company. This issuance of new shares of our common stock also may adversely affect the market for our common stock.
Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “DEAR”. The development and maintenance of an active public trading market depends upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers, the presence of which is beyond our control. While we are a publicly-traded company, the volume of trading activity in our stock is still relatively limited. Even if a more active market develops, there can be no assurance that such a market will continue, or that our stockholders will be able to sell their shares at or above the offering price.
The number of shares owned by our directors and executive officers could make it more difficult to obtain approval for some matters submitted to stockholder vote, including mergers and acquisitions.
As of August 31, 2006, our directors and executive officers and their affiliates own approximately 26% of the outstanding common stock, and will own approximately 16% after completion of the offering, assuming they do not purchase shares in the offering and the underwriters exercise their right to purchase an additional 405,000 shares. However, these persons may purchase shares in the offering.
By voting against a proposal submitted to stockholders, the directors and officers, as a group, may be able to make approval more difficult for proposals requiring the vote of stockholders, such as some mergers, share exchanges, asset sales, and amendments to the Articles of Incorporation. See “Security Ownership” and “Description of Common Stock. The results of the vote may be contrary to the desires or interests of the public stockholders.

USE OF PROCEEDS
Assuming a public offering price of $23.35 per share, we will receive net proceeds of approximately $59.6 million from the sale of 2,700,000 shares of our common stock in this offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of approximately $300,000 payable by us. If the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full, our net proceeds will be approximately $68.6 million.
We expect to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund a portion of the purchase price of our pending acquisition of Fidelity. Pending the completion of the acquisition, the proceeds will be either invested in highly liquid short term investments or used to reduce short term borrowings. The remainder of the purchase price will be funded with cash obtained through a reduction in federal funds sold.
Our acquisition of Fidelity is subject to satisfaction of certain closing conditions. If we are unable to complete the acquisition, the net proceeds of this offering will be used for general corporate purposes, including possible future acquisitions.

CAPITALIZATION
The following table shows our capitalization as of June 30, 2006. The table shows our capitalization on three bases: actual, as adjusted to give effect to the sale of 2,700,000 shares of our common stock assuming a public offering price of $23.35 per share and pro forma as adjusted to give effect to the receipt of the net proceeds from the offering and the closing of the Fidelity acquisition assuming it had occurred on June 30, 2006, including estimated mark-to-market accounting adjustments required by purchase accounting. Actual mark-to-market adjustments will depend on market prices as of the closing date of the Fidelity acquisition. The as adjusted capitalization assumes the net proceeds from this offering, after deducting the estimated offering expenses payable by us, are approximately $59.6 million and are invested entirely in federal funds sold for risk based capital measurement purposes; and the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data):

DIVIDEND POLICY
Electing to retain earnings for funding our growth, we have not paid cash dividends. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We may only pay dividends out of funds that are legally available for that purpose. We are a holding company and substantially all of our assets are held by our subsidiaries. Our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders depends primarily on our bank’s ability to pay dividends to us. Dividend payments and extensions of credit to us from our bank are subject to legal and regulatory limitations, generally based on capital levels and current and retained earnings imposed by law and regulatory agencies with authority over our bank. The ability of our bank to pay dividends is also subject to its profitability, financial condition, capital expenditures and other cash flow requirements.
We have distributed 5% stock dividends as follows: 2001-(June and December) 2002-(June) 2003-(January, June and December) 2004-(June and December); 2005 (June and December); 2006-(June).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We were incorporated as a Michigan business corporation on September 30, 1992, and formed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding stock of Community Bank of Dearborn and to engage in the business of a bank holding corporation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.
We commenced business on February 28, 1994, and are the only commercial bank headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan. We offer a wide range of loan and deposit products and services to small- to medium-sized business, as well as individuals.
Since 1994, we have opened five branches in western Wayne County, Michigan, two branches in Macomb County, Michigan, and one branch in Oakland County, Michigan. In 2004, we acquired the Bank of Washtenaw from Pavilion Bancorp, Inc. The Bank of Washtenaw’s three branches, all of which are located in Washtenaw County, Michigan, were successfully consolidated into our bank in 2005. We plan to open our ninth branch in the fourth quarter of 2006 in Macomb County, Michigan.
While maintaining high asset quality and improving profitability, we have sustained substantial asset growth since we opened. The expansion of our commercial banking department has been the primary element of our growth. We expect to continue our organic growth in the southeastern Michigan market by opening new branches and to explore additional acquisitions as they become available.
Our ability to continue to rapidly grow organically and to take advantage of acquisition opportunities will be impacted by our profitability and our ability to raise capital in the public market. During 2004, we raised $34.0 million of net proceeds in a public offering of common stock, which was used to support both the acquisition of the Bank of Washtenaw and our continued organic growth. The capital raised in this offering will be needed to consummate our proposed acquisition of Fidelity Financial Corporation of Michigan (“Fidelity”).
Our results of operations depend largely on net interest income. Net interest income is the difference in interest income we earn on interest-earning assets, which are comprised primarily of commercial real estate loans, and to a lesser extent commercial business and consumer loans, and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, which are primarily deposits and other borrowings. Management strives to match the re-pricing characteristics of the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities to protect net interest income from changes in market interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve.
The results of our operations may also be affected by local and general economic conditions. The economic base of our primary market area, southeastern Michigan, continues to diversify away from the automotive sector. This trend should lessen the impact of future economic downturns in the automotive sector. Southeastern Michigan’s proximity to major highways and affordable housing has continued to spur economic growth in the area. Changes in the local economy may affect the demand for commercial real estate loans and related small- to medium-business related products. This could have a significant impact on how the we deploy earning assets. The competitive environment among other financial institutions and financial service providers in southeastern Michigan may affect the pricing levels of various deposit products. The impact of competitive rates on deposit products may increase the relative cost of funds for us and thus negatively impact net interest income.
We continue to see competitive deposit rates offered from local financial institutions, which could have the effect of increasing the costs of funds to a level higher than we project. We continue to utilize FHLB advances and brokered certificates of deposit to balance both interest rate risk and the overall cost of funds. Brokered and internet certificates of deposit are based on a nationwide interest rate structure, typically at what is considered to be a premium interest rate. The local competition for certificates of deposit products has intensified and we have found this type of wholesale funding to often effectively compete with the rates offered for similar term retail certificates of deposit products of local community and regional banks.
Net income during the first six months of 2006 was affected by a slight compression in net interest margin compared with same period last year. This was the result of competitive pricing pressure in both loans and deposit
21
Table of Contents
generation. Additionally, the continuation of a flat treasury yield curve has resulted in overall lower interest rate spreads than in other reporting periods.
On September 14, 2006, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire Fidelity, a bank holding company with seven offices in Oakland County, Michigan. Oakland County is one of the largest and most affluent counties in the United States. The transaction is expected to improve financial returns by utilizing existing operating capacity to improve efficiency. Annual cost savings are expected following the completion of the transaction and the complementary strengths of the two companies are expected to generate revenue opportunities. These enhancements are expected to further improve operating results and key financial ratios. These estimates are based on assumptions made during the due diligence process and may change prior to completion of the transaction as a result of obtaining more detailed information while developing the integration plan.
The transaction with Fidelity is expected to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, and future cash flows. The full impact is not yet known, given the uncertainties around the timing of the consummation of the transaction, and the impact of potential operational and financial initiatives that have not yet been finalized. Unless otherwise noted, forward looking information regarding results of operations excludes the impact of the transaction.
Financial Condition at June 30, 2006
Assets. Total assets at June 30, 2006 were $762,490,000 compared to $706,497,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $55,993,000 or 8%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in loans during the period.
Federal Funds Sold. Total federal funds sold at June 30, 2006 were $8,520,000 compared to $2,268,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $6,252,000 or 276%. The increase was primarily due to additional funds received as a result of deposit gathering activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006. The funds are invested into overnight investments until these funds can be deployed into loans.
Interest Bearing Deposits with Banks. Total interest bearing deposits with banks at June 30, 2006 were $107,000 compared to $69,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $38,000 or 55%. This investment was established to provide us 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 June 30, 2006 were $1,174,000 compared to $1,041,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $133,000 or 13%. This increase was a result of the increase 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 June 30, 2006 were $27,038,000 compared to $17,153,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $9,885,000 or 58%. The increase was due to the purchase of securities, available for sale during 2006. 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. The entire portfolio has a net unrealized loss of $52,000. The unrealized loss is reflected by an adjustment to stockholders’ equity.
Loans. Total loans at June 30, 2006 were $696,052,000 compared to $657,037,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $39,015,000 or 6%. The increase was primarily due to the continued expansion of the commercial

Non-accrual loans at June 30, 2006 were $3,982,000. The increase in non-accrual loans during the six months ended June 30, 2006 is primarily due to the downgrading of one commercial real estate construction and two commercial real estate mortgage loans with a balance of $2,988,000 to non-accrual status. An impairment analysis was completed on these loans resulting in a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses to these loans of $559,000 at June 30, 2006. We continue to work to collect these loans as they are all secured by real estate which we believe will have significant value, even in liquidation.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses was $7,154,000 at June 30, 2006 compared to $6,808,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $346,000 or 5%. The increase resulted primarily from provisions and net recoveries recorded during the six month period ended June 30, 2006. 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. The allocation of the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2006 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

The increase in the allocation of the allowance for loan losses to commercial real estate construction and commercial real estate mortgage loans at June 30, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005 is primarily due to our impairment evaluation of the three new non-accrual loans discussed earlier. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the allocation of the allowance for loan losses to commercial, financial and other loans due primarily to smaller required impairment allocations for several commercial loans and by smaller allocations to consumer and residential real estate loans due primarily to lower loan volumes and lower delinquency levels.
The following is an analysis of the allowance for loan losses (dollars in thousands):

Premises and Equipment. Bank premises and equipment at June 30, 2006 were $14,092,000 compared to $13,792,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $300,000 or 2%. The increase in premises and equipment was

primarily due to purchase of a building in Shelby Township, Michigan. This building will be renovated and opened as a full service branch office during the fourth quarter of 2006.
Real Estate Owned. Real estate owned at June 30, 2006 was $0 compared to $663,000 at December 31, 2005.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets were $7,639,000 at June 30, 2006 compared to $7,764,000 at December 31, 2005. Our bank has intangible assets for the estimated value of core deposit accounts and borrower relationships acquired in the acquisition of the Bank of Washtenaw. The intangible values represent the present value of the net revenue streams attributable to these intangibles. The core deposit intangible was valued at $929,000 and is being amortized over a period of ten years. The borrower relationship intangible was valued to $1,620,000 and is being amortized over a period of 17 years. At June 30, 2006, the core deposit intangible and borrower relationship intangible amounted to $688,000 and $1,478,000, respectively.
The balance of the acquisition price in excess of the fair market value of the assets and liabilities acquired, including intangible assets, was recorded as goodwill and totaled $5.5 million. Goodwill is defined as an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, and as such, is not amortized, but is required to be tested annually for impairment of the value. If impaired, an impairment loss must be recorded for the value equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. There was no impairment at December 31, 2005, when goodwill was most recently tested for impairment.
Accrued Interest Receivable. Accrued interest receivable at June 30, 2006 was $2,652,000 compared to $2,586,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $66,000 or 3%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in our bank’s loan portfolio.
Other Assets. Other assets at June 30, 2006 were $2,986,000 compared to $2,521,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $465,000 or 18%. The decrease was primarily due to changes in deferred tax assets.
Deposits. Total deposits at June 30, 2006 were $612,270,000 compared to $582,438,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $29,832,000 or 5%. The following is a summary of the distribution of deposits (dollars in thousands):

Management continues to implement a strategy to change the mix of the deposit portfolio by focusing more heavily on savings, checking and institutional deposits. The increase in deposits was primarily due to normal business development, marketing, telemarketing, referral programs and growth strategies which included a weeklong celebration in March 2006 that highlighted the Bank’s Anniversary and the introduction and promotion of an interest checking product in February 2006.
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

Federal Funds Purchased. Federal funds purchased at June 30, 2006 were $24,500,000 compared to $0 at December 31, 2005. Our bank has several federal funds lines of credit with correspondent banks that are utilized as a short term source of funding.
Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase at June 30, 2006 were $310,000 compared to $1,615,000 at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $1,305,000 or 81%. These repurchase agreements are secured by securities held by our bank.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. Federal Home Loan Bank advances were $25,588,000 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
Accrued Interest Payable. Accrued interest payable at June 30, 2006 was $1,912,000 compared to $1,683,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $229,000 or 14%. The increase was primarily due to the increasing amount of interest bearing deposits during the period.
Other Liabilities. Other liabilities at June 30, 2006 were $260,000 compared to $960,000 at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $700,000 or 73%. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in expenses payable during the period.
Subordinated Debentures. Subordinated debentures were $10,000,000 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. 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 our bank 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 $265,000 at June 30, 2006.
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005
We reported net income of $4,002,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, compared to net income of $3,177,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $825,000 or 26% for the six month period. The increase in net income was primarily due to the improvement in net interest income and a write-down in the value of a security during the six months ended June 30, 2005. The improvement in net interest income was primarily due to the increase in the commercial real estate loan and commercial real estate construction loan portfolios during the period. The increase in net interest income was partially offset by the increase in non-interest expense during the period. The write-down of the security was the recognition of an other than temporary loss on a single issue of FHLMC preferred stock.
Net Interest Income
2006 Compared to 2005. As noted on the two charts on the following pages, net interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was $13,812,000 compared to $13,245,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $567,000 or 4%. This increase was caused primarily by the increased volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities but offset by the decrease in the net interest rate spread. Our interest rate spread was 3.29% for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, compared to 3.64% for the same period in

Table of Contents
2005. Our net interest margin was 3.95% for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to 4.10% for the same period in 2005. The decrease in interest rate spread and net interest margin was primarily due to the increased cost of deposits.
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 our 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 (dollars in thousands):

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 (dollars in thousands):

Provision For Loan Losses
2006 Compared to 2005. The provision for loan losses was $312,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, compared to $743,000 for the same period in 2005, a decrease of $431,000 or 58% for the period. The required provision for loan losses is based on our internal analysis of the balance needed in our allowance for loan losses. This analysis is 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. The decrease in provision during 2006 was impacted by many factors including slower loan growth during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, net recoveries during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to modest net charge-offs during the same period in 2005 and partially offset by the increase in non-accrual loans at June 30, 2006 compared to June 30, 2005.
Non-Interest Income
2006 Compared to 2005. Non-interest income excluding the impairment charge in 2005 was $440,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, compared to $803,000 for the same period in 2005, a decrease of $363,000 or 45% for the six month period. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the gain on the sale of real estate owned and the gain on the sale of loans during the period. The decrease in the gain on the sale of real estate owned was due to the sale of three properties for a loss of $103,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the sale of two properties for a gain of $88,000 during the same period in 2005. The decrease in the gain on sale of loans was the result of decreased volume in residential lending activity during 2006.
During the second quarter of 2005, we recognized an other than temporary impairment charge of $696,000 on a single issue of FHLMC Preferred Stock. This security was sold during the third quarter of 2005.

Non-Interest Expense
2006 Compared to 2005. Non-interest expense was $7,876,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, compared to $7,797,000 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $79,000 or 1% for the six month period. The largest component of non-interest expense was salaries and employee benefits which amounted to $4,877,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, compared to $4,646,000 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $231,000 or 5% for the six month period. The primary factor for the increase in salaries and benefits expense was the expansion of the retail banking department. As of June 30, 2006, the number of full time equivalent employees was 157 compared to 155 as of June 30, 2005.
The second largest component of non-interest expense was occupancy and equipment expense. Occupancy and equipment expense amounted to $1,225,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, compared to $1,247,000 for the same period in 2005, a decrease of $22,000 or 2% for the six month period.
Income Tax Provision
2006 Compared to 2005. Income tax expense was $2,062,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, compared to $1,635,000 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $427,000 or 26% for the six month period. The increase was primarily a result of increased pre-tax income as the effective tax rate was stable.
Financial Condition at December 31, 2005
Assets. Total assets at December 31, 2005 were $706,497,000 compared to $652,662,000 at December 31, 2004, an increase of $53,835,000 or 8%. The increase was primarily due to increases in loans.
Securities Available for Sale. Total securities available for sale, at December 31, 2005 were $17,153,000 compared to $21,075,000 at December 31, 2004, a decrease of $3,922,000 or 19%. During 2005, we sold $4 million in securities and $12 million in securities were called or matured. Funds from the sale or call of securities were deployed into commercial loans at a higher yield. Our bank’s portfolio of securities available for sale has an amortized cost and a fair value of $17.2 million. The securities and their weighted average yield at December 31, 2005 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

The entire portfolio has a net unrealized loss of $67,000. The unrealized loss is reflected by an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. We do not hold any securities in the “Held to Maturity” category nor do we hold or utilize derivatives.
Our bank recorded a loss on the sale of securities, available for sale on a single security that totaled $740,000 during 2005. This security was an issue of 80,000 shares of FHLMC preferred stock with a par value of $50 per share. Our bank purchased this equity security in March of 2001. The security carried an initial interest rate of 4.50% until March 31, 2002. Thereafter, the interest rate reprices annually on April 1 of each year to a rate equal to the 12 month LIBOR minus 20 basis points. Additionally, the dividend on this security is 70% tax deductible. This feature increases the effective yield significantly. As interest rates declined in 2002 and 2003, the yield on this security also declined.
During 2004, the market value of this security was negatively impacted by two primary factors. The first factor was the declining interest rate environment. Short term interest rates declined during 2002 and 2003 and began to increase during 2004. The yield on this security does not react immediately to shifts in interest rates because of the annual adjustment feature. The coupon on this security did not benefit from the rise in short term interest rates
29
Table of Contents
during 2004 due to the timing of the coupon reset date. As the next coupon reset date approached, the market value of this security had reacted positively. A repricing and market value table for selected dates is listed below:

The second factor in the market value of this security has been the discovery of certain accounting irregularities at FHLMC and FNMA that have raised questions about the credit quality of these organizations. The timing of the decline in the market value of the security also coincided with the public announcement of these accounting irregularities that occurred.
According to SFAS 115 — Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, the characterization of a security with an other than temporary impairment is subjective but generally exists when an investor is unlikely to be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security. Other factors that suggest other than temporary impairment of a security would be the downgrading of the security by a rating agent or the deterioration of the financial condition of the issuer.
Management expected the market value of this security to continue to improve during 2005. When the value of this security did not increase as expected after the interest rate reset during the second quarter of 2005, we recognized an “Other Than Temporary Loss” of $696,000 on June 30, 2005. We recorded an additional loss of $44,000 as a result of the sale of the security on July 22, 2005.
Loans. Total loans at December 31, 2005 were $657,037,000 compared to $587,562,000 at December 31, 2004, an increase of $69,475,000 or 12%. The components of the outstanding balances for the years ended December 31, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

During 2005, loans increased in most categories with stronger growth in commercial real estate construction and commercial real estate mortgages. The decline in consumer loans was primarily due to the increase in short term interest rates. This category is comprised primarily of home equity lines of credit. The increase during 2004 includes the acquisition of $67.1 million in loans from the acquisition of the Bank of Washtenaw.
Our bank expects the percentage of total commercial loans and residential real estate mortgages to increase as a percentage of the loan portfolio in 2006 via business development programs. Additionally, our bank expects the largest loan growth to occur in the commercial real estate mortgage category. These types of loans carry a relatively large average balance, produce more cross-selling opportunities and are typically well secured by real estate. Our bank believes that the higher level of risk that is also inherent with these types of loans is offset by our bank with high standards for credit quality and a well-seasoned group of commercial lenders.

Variable rate loans comprise 48% of the loan portfolio. The interest rates of these loans change or reprice at specific intervals according to certain market indices. The remainder of the loan portfolio has a fixed interest rate until maturity.
Our bank automatically places any loan that has been partially charged-off and most consumer loan borrowers in bankruptcy proceedings on non-accrual. Our bank on a discretionary basis places loans on non-accrual when a borrower is in bankruptcy where adequate security cannot be demonstrated and the borrower ceases paying interest. All other loans are typically placed on non-accrual after the borrower is ninety days or more past due unless collection is expected within 60 days.

Bank Premises and Equipment. Bank premises and equipment at December 31, 2005 were $13,792,000 compared to $13,124,000 at December 31, 2004, an increase of $668,000 or 5%. The increase was mainly due to upgrades in technology instituted throughout our bank and the purchase of land adjacent to the Dearborn Heights office. The land was purchased during 2005 and developed into a parking lot in order to provide convenient parking for our bank’s customers.
Real Estate Owned. Real estate owned at December 31, 2005 was $663,000, compared to $138,000 at December 31, 2004, a increase of $525,000 or 380%. Real estate owned at December 31, 2005 is comprised of three residential properties with an appraised value of $782,000.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets were $7,764,000 at December 31, 2005, compared to $7,982,000 at December 31, 2004, a decrease of $218,000 of 3%. Our bank has intangible assets for the estimated value of core deposit accounts and borrower relationships acquired in the acquisition of the Bank of Washtenaw. The intangible values represent the present value of the net revenue streams attributable to these intangibles. The core deposit intangible was valued at $929,000 and is being amortized over a period of ten years. The borrow relationship intangible was valued to $1,620,000 and is being amortized over a period of 17 years. At December 31, 2005, the core deposit intangible and borrower relationship intangible amounted to $748,000 and $1,543,000, respectively.
The balance of the acquisition price in excess of the fair market value of the assets and liabilities acquired, including intangible assets, was recorded as goodwill and totaled $5.5 million. Goodwill is defined as an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, and as such, is not amortized, but is required to be tested annually for impairment of the value. If impaired, an impairment loss must be recorded for the value equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. There was no impairment at December 31, 2005
Accrued Interest Receivable. Accrued interest receivable at December 31, 2005 was $2,586,000 compared to $1,889,000 at December 31, 2004, an increase of $697,000 or 37%. The increase was primarily due to increase in the size an yield of the loan portfolio.
Other Assets. Other assets at December 31, 2005 were $2,521,000 compared to $3,093,000 at December 31, 2004, a decrease of $572,000 or 18%. The decrease was largely due to a decrease in our deferred tax asset.

The increase in deposits was primarily due to growth in time deposits. During 2005, our bank completed an annual birthday celebration in March, four time deposit promotions and one promotion that introduced the Bank’s High Performance Savings product. Management developed these campaigns in order to increase liquidity and diversify our bank’s deposit mix.
In addition to these deposit campaigns, our bank has enacted a strategy to utilize public funds to a higher degree, in the form of time deposits, $100,000 and over, in the State of Michigan. Our bank also began to utilize brokered deposits as a source of funds. In order to coordinate and manage these efforts, our bank has also designated a public funds officer. Public funds at December 31, 2005 were $86.2 million compared to $92.9 million at December 31, 2004. There were 28 and 35 entities with public funds on deposit at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The average term of time deposits invested with our bank by public units was 95 and 183 days at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Brokered deposits were $45.1 million with an average rate of 3.79% at December 31, 2005, compared to $19.2 million with an average rate of 2.85% at December 31, 2004.

Our bank continues a strategy of shifting maturing time deposits into other savings products. In addition, our bank continued to enact a strategy to utilize municipal and brokered deposits to a greater degree. Management believes that the weighted average rate of deposits will continue to increase during 2006.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. Federal Home Loan Bank advances at December 31, 2005 amounted to $25,588,000 compared to $20,614,000 at December 31, 2004, an increase of $4,974,000. This increase is primarily due to our bank borrowing a three year Federal Home Loan Bank advance in the amount of $5,000,000 with a rate of 4.43% that matures in 2008.
In 1999, our bank joined the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. Membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank provides our bank with a stable source of additional funding at a reasonable cost. Federal Home Loan Bank advances are collateralized with a blanket collateral agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank and investment securities, available for sale. Please refer to Note I of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Other Borrowings. Other borrowings were $1,615,000 at December 31, 2005 compared to $4,115,000 at December 31, 2004, a decrease of $2,500,000 or 61%. These borrowings were comprised of several repurchase agreements that were acquired in the 2004 acquisition of the Bank of Washtenaw. These repurchase agreements are secured by securities held by our bank.
Other Liabilities. Other liabilities were $960,000 at December 31, 2005 compared to $1,342,000 at December 31, 2004, a decrease of $382,000 or 28%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in accrued expenses.
Accrued Interest Payable. Accrued interest payable at December 31, 2005 was $1,683,000 compared to $1,107,000 at December 31, 2004, an increase of $576,000 or 52%. The increase was due to the increase in deposits during 2005.
Subordinated Debentures. On December 19, 2002, we 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. We 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 our bank to allow for additional growth.

Results of Operations For the Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and 2003.
2005 Compared to 2004. We reported net income of $7,510,000 in 2005 compared to $5,509,000 in 2004, an increase of $2,001,000 or 36%. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease in other income and increases in non-interest expense. The decrease in other income was primarily due to the write-down and subsequent sale of a single security. The increase in non-operating expense was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits and occupancy and equipment expense.
2004 Compared to 2003. We reported net income of $5,509,000 in 2004 compared to $3,521,000 in 2003, an increase of $1,988,000 or 56%. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease in the gain on sale of loans and increases in salaries and employee benefits.
Net Interest Income
2005 Compared to 2004. Net interest income for the period ended December 31, 2005 was $27,452,000 compared to $20,381,000 for the period ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $7,071,000 or 35%. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to increases in the volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The net interest rate spread decreased to 3.63% in 2005 from 3.69% in 2004, a decrease of 6 basis points. The decrease in the net interest rate spread was due to liability costs increasing faster than asset yields. Additionally, our bank has improved its asset mix by deploying a larger proportionate share of its funds into loans. The increase in the cost of deposits was primarily due to the repricing of our time deposits. Our net interest margin increased to 4.14% in 2005 from 4.04% in 2004.
Average interest earning assets grew by $158.8 million between the periods while interest bearing liabilities grew by $124.2 million. While management is continually reviewing spreads and margins, future increases in the net interest margin are primarily expected from volume growth in the higher yielding loan portfolio and the diversification of our deposit structure. The primary sources of funding for the expected growth in the loan portfolio will be excess cash and cash equivalents, deposit growth and the deployment of funds from the sale of securities available for sale. During 2006, we are expecting the net interest rate spread and net interest rate margin to decrease slightly as a result of increasing deposit costs.
2004 Compared to 2003. Net interest income for the period ended December 31, 2004 was $20,381,000 compared to $14,933,000 for the period ended December 31, 2003, an increase of $5,448,000 or 36%. Our net interest income was primarily due to increases in the volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Our net interest rate spread increased to 3.69% in 2004 from 3.63% in 2003, an increase of 6 basis points. The increase in the net interest rate spread was primarily due to the volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Additionally, our bank has improved its asset mix by deploying a larger proportionate share of its funds into loans. The decrease in the cost of deposits was primarily due to the repricing of our bank’s time deposits into other deposit products at a lower interest rate. Our net interest margin increased to 4.04% in 2004 from 3.97% 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 (dollars in thousands):

Provision For Loan Losses
2005 Compared to 2004. The provision for loan losses was $1,081,000 in 2005, compared to $1,400,000 in 2004, a decrease of $319,000 or 23%. The decrease was primarily due to slightly lower loan growth and slightly improved asset quality during 2005. While net charge-offs increased to $157,000 in 2005 from $14,000 in 2004, non-performing loans declined from $3,099,000 at December 31, 2004 to $1,173,000 at December 31, 2005. The provision for loan losses is 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, the relevant change in the size and mix of the loan portfolio and current and projected economic conditions.
2004 Compared to 2003. The provision for loan losses was $1,400,000 in 2004, compared to $1,699,000 in 2003, a decrease of $299,000 or 18%. The decrease was primarily due to slightly lower loan volume and lower net charge-offs during 2004.
Non-Interest Income
2005 Compared to 2004. Non-interest income was $722,000 in 2005, compared to $1,332,000 in 2004, a decrease of $610,000 or 46%. The decrease was primarily due to a write-down and subsequent loss on the sale of a single issue of FHLMC preferred stock. A $696,000 write-down, and a $44,000 loss on the sale of the FHLMC preferred stock were recognized during 2005. Non-interest income excluding the write-down and subsequent sale of the FHLMC preferred stock was $1,462,000, which would be an increase of $130,000 or 10% from 2004. Management expects that non-interest income will continue to increase during 2006.
2004 Compared to 2003. Non-interest income was $1,332,000 in 2004, compared to $2,829,000 in 2003, a decrease of $1,497,000 or 53%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the gain on the sale of loans. The decrease in the gain on the sale of loans was due to the decline in the level of refinancing activity during 2004. Loans sold were $41.6 and $137.6 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Non-Interest Expense
2005 Compared to 2004. Non-interest expense was $15,716,000 in 2005 compared to $11,967,000 in 2004, an increase of $3,749,000 or 31%. The largest component of the change in non-interest expense was salaries and employee benefits which amounted to $9,366,000 in 2005. In 2004, salaries and employee benefits were $7,722,000. The primary factors for the increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was the first full year of operations of the three branch offices that our bank acquired as a result of the Bank of Washtenaw acquisition in October of 2004. As of December 31, 2005, the number of full time equivalent employees was 151 as compared to 139 as of December 31, 2004. Anticipated growth during 2006 will require additional staff throughout most areas of our bank.
The second largest component of the change in non-interest expense was occupancy and equipment expense, which amounted to $2,528,000 in 2005. In 2004, occupancy and equipment expense amounted to $1,582,000. Primary factors in the increase were the first full year of operations at our bank’s Operations Center and at the three branch offices that were acquired as a result of the Bank of Washtenaw acquisition. Additionally, various technology investments were made throughout our bank.
2004 Compared to 2003. Non-interest expense was $11,967,000 in 2004 compared to $10,735,000 in 2003, an increase of $1,232,000 or 11%. The largest component of the change in non-interest expense was salaries and employee benefits which amounted to $7,722,000 in 2004. In 2003, salaries and employee benefits were $6,231,000. The primary factors for the increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was the first full year of operations of the full service branch office in Southgate, Michigan and a regional lending center in Auburn Hills, Michigan and the impact of the acquisition of the Bank of Washtenaw in October of 2004. As of December 31, 2004, the number of full time equivalent employees was 139 as compared to 119 as of December 31, 2003.
The second largest component of the change in non-interest income was occupancy and equipment expense, which amounted to $1,582,000 in 2004. In 2003, occupancy and equipment expense was $1,377,000. The primary factor in the increase was the first full year of operations of a full service branch office in Southgate, Michigan and a

Income Tax Provision
2005 Compare to 2004. The income tax expense was $3,867,000 in 2005 compare to $2,837,000 in 2004, an increase of $1,030,000 or 36%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in income before federal tax as the effective tax rate remained stable. Refer to Note K of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
2004 Compare to 2003. The income tax expense was $2,837,000 in 2004 compared to $1,807,000 in 2003, an increase of $1,030,000 or 57%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in income before federal income tax. Refer to Note K of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
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.

Capital
Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2005 was $84,213,000 compared to $74,604,000 as of December 31, 2004, an increase of $9,609,000 or 13%. Capital increased during 2005 primarily due to net income during 2005.
At December 31, 2005 and 2004, we exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements as described in Note N of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December, 2002, we, through Dearborn Bancorp Trust I (“the trust”), issued $10,000,000 of subordinated debentures. Substantially all of the net proceeds were ultimately contributed to our bank as capital and were used to support anticipated growth in assets, fund investments in loans and securities, and for general corporate purposes. Although not part of stockholders’ equity, the trust preferred securities are considered, subject to certain limitations, a component of capital for purposes of calculating regulatory capital ratios. As of June 30, 2006, $10,000,000 of trust preferred securities were included as Tier I capital.
We are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the State of Michigan and federal banking agencies. Failure to meet the various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Since our bank commenced operations, both the company and our bank have been categorized as “Well Capitalized,” the highest classification contained within the banking regulations. See “Capitalization” and Note N of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.
Our bank’s ability to pay cash and stock dividends is subject to limitations under various laws and regulations and to prudent and sound banking practices. We most recently declared a 5% stock dividend on May 17, 2006 which was paid on June 16, 2006 to holders of records as of June 2, 2006. We have not paid cash dividends on our common stock since formation in 1992, and we currently have no intentions of doing so in the foreseeable future.
Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosure Market Risk
Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser degree, liquidity risk. All of our transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars with no specific foreign exchange exposure. We have no agricultural-related loan assets and therefore has no significant exposure to changes in commodity prices. Any impact that change foreign exchange rates or commodity prices would have on interest rates are assumed to be insignificant. Interest rate risk is the exposure of our financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. We derive our
41
Table of Contents
income primarily from the excess of interest collected on our interest-earning assets over the interest paid on our interest-bearing liabilities. The rates of interest earned on the assets and owed on our liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Since market interest rates change over time, we are exposed to lower profitability if we cannot adapt to interest rate changes. Accepting interest rate risk can be an important source of profitability and stockholder value; however, excessive levels of interest rate risk could pose a significant threat to our earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains interest rate risk at prudent levels is essential to our safety and soundness.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis. Our bank has sought to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates by matching the effective maturities or repricing characteristics of our 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 our assets mature or reprice more quickly or to a greater extent than our liabilities, our net portfolio vale and net interest income would tend to increase during periods of rising interest rates but decrease during periods of falling interest rates. If our assets mature or reprice more slowly or to a lesser extent than our liabilities, our 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 exceeds 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, our 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, our assets would tend to prepay faster than originally expected thus decreasing the negative gap position. In addition, some of our 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 second interest rate measurement used is commonly referred to as net income simulation analysis. We believe that this methodology provides a more accurate measurement of interest rate risk than gap analysis. The
43
Table of Contents
simulation model assesses the directions and magnitude of variations in net interest income resulting from potential changes in market interest rates. Key assumptions in the model include prepayment speeds on various loan and investment assets; cash flows and maturities of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities; and changes in market conditions impacting loan and deposit volume and pricing. These assumptions are inherently uncertain, subject to fluctuation and revision in a dynamic environment; therefore, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or exactly predict the impact of higher or lower inters rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, changes in market conditions and our strategies, among other factors.
We conducted an interest rate simulation as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, that assumed a gradual change in market rates occurred over the following twelve months. The following table reflects the suggested impact on net interest income over the next twelve months (dollars in thousands):

BUSINESS
Overview
We are a single bank holding company headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan and own Community Bank of Dearborn, our principal operating subsidiary. We were incorporated in September 1992 under the laws of the State of Michigan. Our bank, which commenced business in February 1994, is a full service community bank and together with its subsidiaries, is focused on serving small- to medium-sized businesses, professionals and households from thirteen offices located in Wayne, Macomb and Oakland and Washtenaw Counties, Michigan. We provide a wide range of business and personal banking services, including checking and savings accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit, travelers’ checks, money orders, safe deposit boxes, and commercial, mortgage and consumer loans.
We also operate several non-bank subsidiaries. In August 1997, we introduced Community Bank Insurance Agency, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of our bank, which primarily functions as a sales agent for our own insurance policies and holds a minority interest in a title insurance company which allows us to offer title insurance to our customers. In May 2001, we formed Community Bank Mortgage, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of our bank, to increase the profitability and efficiency of our bank’s mortgage loan function. In March 2002, we formed Community Bank Audit Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of our bank, which provides internal audit and compliance consulting to other small community banks.
On October 29, 2004, we acquired the Bank of Washtenaw (“Washtenaw”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pavilion Bancorp, Inc. for $15.1 million in cash. The assets and liabilities of the Bank of Washtenaw at acquisition and net income derived from those assets and liabilities since the acquisition have been consolidated into the bank. Washtenaw, which was founded in January 2001, has an office in Saline, Michigan and two offices in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
To date, we have raised capital from a private placement of common stock in 1993, a rights offering in 1996, an initial public offering in 1998, the issuance of cumulative trust preferred securities in 2002 and a secondary public offering in 2004.
Pending Acquisition of Fidelity Financial Corporation of Michigan
On September 14, 2006, we announced the execution of a definitive merger agreement to acquire Fidelity. Fidelity is a bank holding company headquartered in Birmingham, Michigan and is the parent of Fidelity Bank. Under the terms of the merger agreement, we will acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Fidelity in exchange for $70.5 million in cash subject to adjustments in the event that stockholders’ equity of Fidelity exceeds or falls below specified amounts. We intend to merge Fidelity with and into the company. At June 30, 2006, Fidelity had assets of $251 million, deposits of $217 million, loans of $185 million and stockholders’ equity of $29 million. Fidelity operates seven branches and one loan production office in Oakland County, Michigan. We expect to receive regulatory approval of the transaction from the Federal Reserve Board in the fourth quarter of 2006. We expect to complete the acquisition in January 2007, subject to closing conditions as set forth below.
Based on data available from the FDIC as of June 30, 2006, Fidelity’s total deposits ranked 15th among financial institutions in Oakland County, Michigan. Assuming completion of our acquisition of Fidelity, our total deposits will rank 11th among financial institutions in our pro forma four-county market area (excluding the City of Detroit). Fidelity’s deposit mix consisted of approximately 90% core deposits as of June 30, 2006. In addition, Fidelity had a loan to deposit ratio of approximately 86% as of June 30, 2006, and an in-house lending limit of $3 million as of that date.
Simultaneous with the effective date of the merger, we intend to consolidate Fidelity’s wholly owned subsidiary bank, Fidelity Bank with our wholly owned subsidiary bank, Community Bank of Dearborn.
The merger agreement contains a number of conditions to the obligations of Fidelity and us to complete the merger, which must be satisfied as of the closing date, including, but not limited to, the following:
• | approval of the merger agreement by Fidelity shareholders; |
45
Table of Contents
• | receipt of all required regulatory approvals of the merger; | |
• | accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties as of the closing date; | |
• | compliance in all material respects by each party with its respective agreements and covenants required to be performed by the merger agreement prior to the closing date; | |
• | receipt of legal opinions; and | |
• | neither party shall be subject to any order, decree or injunction that enjoins or prohibits the consummation of the merger. |
In addition to the conditions listed above, our obligation to complete the merger is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the following:
• | obtaining and closing on financings including this offering in amounts and terms acceptable to us; | |
• | two executive officers of Fidelity shall have entered into employment agreements with us; and | |
• | a limited indemnification agreement shall be executed by Fidelity shareholders. |
The merger agreement may be terminated in the following manner:
By Mutual Consent. The merger agreement may be terminated and the merger abandoned at any time upon the mutual consent of Fidelity and us.
By Either Party. The merger agreement may be terminated and the merger abandoned at any time prior to the effective date by either Fidelity or us if:
• | the merger is not consummated by January 31, 2007; | |
• | the approval of the merger agreement by Fidelity shareholders is not obtained; | |
• | any of the conditions to our obligations or the obligations of Fidelity have not been met or waived by the other party; or | |
• | the occurrences of a fiduciary event (as defined in the merger agreement). |
We may terminate the merger agreement if Fidelity receives a rating lower than satisfactory under the Community Reinvestment Act or if there occurs an event which causes or is likely to cause a material adverse effect (as defined in the merger agreement ) on Fidelity.
If Fidelity terminates the merger agreement due to (i) Fidelity accepting an acquisition proposal or superior proposal (as defined in the merger agreement), (ii) the shareholders of Fidelity fail to approve the merger agreement after an acquisition proposal or superior proposal has been communicated to the shareholders, (iii) the merger agreement is terminated due to a fiduciary event or (iv) the merger agreement is terminated by Fidelity for reasons other than those set forth above and in the merger agreement, then Fidelity shall pay to us a termination fee of $2,639,000 plus all reasonable professional expenses incurred by us in connection with the merger.
If we terminate the merger agreement for reasons other than those set forth in the merger agreement, we shall pay to Fidelity a termination fee of $1,876,000 plus all reasonable professional expenses incurred by Fidelity in connection with the merger.
Although we are acquiring the stock of Fidelity, for federal income tax purposes the transaction will be treated as an acquisition of Fidelity’s assets. Some portion of the amount paid for the Fidelity stock will likely be allocated to goodwill, which may be amortized for tax purposes, over 15 years, on a straight line basis.
Business Strategy
Grow Through Branch Expansion. Since commencing operations, our growth has mainly been accomplished internally. Our growth strategy is to create a commercial lending franchise concentrated in select communities. We expect to continue our historic pattern of expanding our footprint by adding offices in contiguous areas of our existing market and by filling gaps between our existing offices. Our planned opening of a new branch in Shelby
46
Table of Contents
Township, Michigan in the fourth quarter of 2006 is part of this strategy. We believe that the demographics and growth characteristics within the communities we serve should also provide significant opportunities for us to grow our loan and deposit relationships at our existing offices.
Grow Through Selected Acquisitions. Another part of our growth strategy is to continue pursuing selected acquisitions. In 2004, we acquired Bank of Washtenaw and have successfully completed its integration into our operations. We believe that we have the ability to integrate the operational and cultural aspects of other institutions given the acquisition experience of our management. We intend to focus on organizations that have already proven to be successful in their respective market areas, and where we believe integration risk to be low. Our pending acquisition of Fidelity is part of this strategy.
Emphasize Community Banking. We strive to maintain a strong commitment to community banking. Our goal is to attract small- to medium-sized businesses, as well as individuals as customers who wish to conduct business with a local commercial bank that demonstrates an active interest in their business and personal affairs. We are becoming increasingly sophisticated in our ability to analyze our customer relationships, which increases our ability to recognize the opportunity to offer additional products and services that will expand each relationship. We believe our ability to deliver products and services in a highly personalized manner helps differentiate us from larger, regional banks operating in our market area.
Hire Experienced, Local Bankers. Our strategy has revolved around the hiring of experienced, local banking professionals and relationship managers to run our offices, call on customers and originate loans and deposits. We encourage our employees to be active in community affairs and business, trade and service organizations. Our senior loan officers have an average of over 20 years of experience in the financial services industry and have operated in our market area through a wide range of economic cycles and lending market conditions. We believe that the recruitment of banking professionals with significant experience in, and knowledge of, our markets facilitates our growth and partially mitigates the credit risk associated with our rapidly growing loan portfolio.
Capitalize on Consolidation in Our Market. Several of the financial institutions within our market area have either been acquired by, or merged with, larger orout-of-state financial institutions. These acquisitions have included: Royal Bank of Scotland Group, Plc’s acquisition of Charter One Financial, Inc., J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.’s acquisition of Bank One Corporation, ABN AMRO Holding N.V.’s acquisition of Michigan National Corporation, and Fifth Third Bancorp’s acquisition of Old Kent Financial Corporation. In some cases, when these consolidations occurred, the ensuing employee and customer disruptions created opportunities for us to attract experienced personnel and establish relationships with customers wishing to conduct business with a locally-managed institution with strong ties to the community. We have positioned ourselves to capitalize on business opportunities that may result from customer dislocation associated with these and future consolidations.
Control Our Operating Costs. Our practice of employing fewer, but highly qualified and productive individuals at all levels of the organization is key to maintaining a decentralized management structure. These individuals are able to manage large loan portfolios, which increases interest income while controlling personnel costs. Additionally, to manage our growth in an efficient manner, we continue to enhance our operating procedures and in 2004 we opened an operations center in Allen Park, Michigan that consolidated many of our administrative and support functions. This facility houses our data processing, accounting, auditing, compliance, customer support, and mortgage operations activities.
Focus on Commercial Real Estate Lending. While we offer a full range of consumer and commercial loan products, our primary lending focus will continue to be providing local businesses with loans secured by owner-occupied real estate. Typically, we seek commercial real estate lending relationships with customers borrowing from $500,000 to $4 million. Although our legal lending limit was approximately $12 million as of June 30, 2006, our Board of Directors has set our current in-house lending limit at $6 million. Our in-house limit accommodates the vast majority of lending opportunities we encounter. If local businesses have credit needs beyond the scope of our in-house lending capacity, we may participate out a portion of the credit with other financial institutions in order to accommodate our customers’ needs. As of June 30, 2006, commercial real estate loans comprised 72% of our loan portfolio.

Market Area
Our current market area includes Wayne, Macomb, Washtenaw and Oakland Counties, which are all located in southeastern Michigan. We currently have offices in the following communities: Ann Arbor, Auburn Hills, Canton Township, Clinton Township, Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, Plymouth Township, Saline, and Southgate, Michigan. Our market area has a diverse economy based primarily on manufacturing, retail and service businesses and contains the headquarters for twenty-three Fortune 500 companies. According to 2000 U.S. Census Data, the populations of Wayne (excluding the City of Detroit), Macomb, Washtenaw and Oakland Counties totaled 3,414,967, while median household incomes for such counties were $50,848, $58,598, $59,069 and $69,794, respectively.
Our market area represents a significant banking market in the State of Michigan. According to the FDIC, total deposits in Wayne (excluding the City of Detroit), Macomb, Washtenaw, and Oakland Counties, including those of banks and thrifts, were approximately $72.7 billion as of June 30, 2006, which accounted for approximately 47.7% of the total deposit market share in the State of Michigan and has increased approximately 43.9% from $50.5 billion in deposits as of June 30, 2000.
Our announced acquisition of Fidelity will add seven offices in the Oakland County, Michigan communities of Birmingham, Bloomfield Township, Bingham Farms, and Southfield (4). Oakland County is one of the largest and most affluent counties in the United States. According to the most recent U.S. Census Data, out of 38 counties throughout the United States with a population over one million, Oakland County has the 4th highest per capita household income and is ranked 6th based on the percentage of its workforce employed in management, professional, and related occupations. In 2000, 45% of the workers in Oakland County were in management, professional, and related occupations, as compared to 32% and 34% for the State of Michigan and the United States, respectively. According to 2003 U.S. Census estimates, the median home value in Oakland County was $213,696, which is 57% and 53% above the median home values for the State of Michigan and United States, respectively. Additionally, based on 2005 U.S. Census estimates, Oakland County experienced the 4th largest population increase of any county in the State of Michigan from 2000 — 2005, and in 2005 was the 2nd largest county in the State of Michigan and the 31st largest county in the United States based on total population.
Oakland County is a leading center of international commerce and foreign investment. According to the Oakland County Department of Planning and Economic Development, Oakland County exports over $10 billion in goods and services to 145 countries annually, and is ranked 9th among counties in the United States based on the number of manufacturing firms that export to foreign countries. Oakland County is also home to sixteen divisions, affiliates, or subsidiaries of the twenty largest foreign-owned companies operating in the Detroit metropolitan statistical area ranked by total company revenue.
Loan Policy
As a routine part of our business, we make loans to individuals and businesses located within our market area. Our lending operation has two primary functions: to provide a means for the investment of funds at a profitable rate of return with an acceptable degree of risk, and to meet the credit needs of the responsible businesses and individuals who are our customers. However, we recognize that in the normal business of lending, some losses on loans will be inevitable and should be considered a part of the normal cost of doing business. Under our loan policy, lending authority for loans in excess of $100,000 is granted to a limited number of officers, each of whom has over 25 years of banking experience. Currently this group consists of Michael J. Ross, President and CEO and Warren R. Musson, Senior Vice President Head of Lending.
Our loan policy anticipates that our lending priorities will change from time to time as interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors change. The policy sets forth guidelines on a non-discriminatory basis for lending in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The policy describes various criteria in granting loans, including the ability to pay; the character of the customer; evidence of financial responsibility; purpose of the loan; knowledge of collateral and its value; terms of repayment; source of repayment; payment history; and economic conditions.
The loan policy specifies individual lending limits for certain officers up to a maximum of $50,000 for unsecured loans and $100,000 for secured loans. When certain officers have the approval of certain other officers, these limits may be increased to $500,000. Loans of greater than $500,000 require the approval of our
48
Table of Contents
Loan Committee and loans greater than $1,000,000 require the approval of our Executive Loan Committee. Loans in excess of $6,000,000 up to the legal maximum authorized by law require the approval of our Board of Directors.
The loan policy also limits the amount of funds that may be loaned against specified types of collateral including: listed securities — not greater than 80% loan to value; U.S. Government securities — not greater than 90% loan to value; and insured bank deposits — not greater than 100% loan to value. As to loans secured principally by real estate, the policy complies with the FIRREA Act of 1989 regarding appraisals of the property offered as collateral by licensed independent appraisers. The loan policy also provides general guidelines as to collateral, provides for environmental reviews, contains specific limitations with respect to loans to employees, executive officers and directors, provides for problem loan identification, establishes a policy for the maintenance of a loan loss reserve, provides for loan reviews and sets forth policies for mortgage lending and other matters relating to our lending business.
Lending Practices
Commercial Loans. Our commercial lending group originates commercial loans primarily in Wayne, Macomb, Oakland and Washtenaw Counties in southeastern Michigan. Commercial loans are originated by a group of lending officers with the assistance of Michael J. Ross and Warren R. Musson. Loans are originated for general business purposes, including working capital, accounts receivable financing, machinery and equipment acquisition, and commercial real estate financing including new construction and land development.
Working capital loans are often structured as a line of credit and are reviewed periodically in connection with the borrower’s year-end financial reporting. These loans generally are secured by all of the assets of the borrower, a personal guaranty of the owners and have an interest rate plus a margin tied to the national prime rate. Loans for machinery and equipment purposes typically have a maturity of five to seven years and are fully amortizing. Commercial real estate loans are usually written with a five-year maturity and are amortized over a fifteen to twenty-year period. Commercial real estate loans may have an interest rate that is fixed to maturity or float with a margin over the prime rate or another index. Fixed rate loans typically contain a pre-payment premium.
We evaluate all aspects of a commercial loan transaction in order to minimize credit and interest rate risk. Underwriting includes an assessment of management, products, markets, cash flow, capital, income and collateral. The analysis includes a review of historical and projected financial results. Appraisals are obtained by licensed independent appraisers who are well known to us on transactions involving real estate and, in some cases, equipment.
Commercial real estate lending involves more risk than residential lending, because loan balances are greater and repayment is dependent upon the borrower’s operations. We attempt to minimize risk associated with these transactions by limiting our exposure to existing well-known customers and new customers with an established profitable history. Risk is further reduced by limiting the concentration of credit to any one borrower as well as the type of commercial real estate financed.
Residential Real Estate Loans. Our subsidiary, Community Bank Mortgage, Inc. originates residential real estate loans in its market area according to secondary market underwriting standards. These loans provide borrowers with a fixed interest rate with terms up to thirty years. Loans are sold on a servicing released basis in the secondary market with all interest rate risk and credit risk passed to the purchaser. Community Bank Mortgage, Inc. from time to time may elect to underwrite certain residential real estate loans to be held in its own loan portfolio. These loans are generally underwritten with the same standards that apply to the secondary market. The majority of the portfolio loans have a fixed rate of interest for the first five years, then the interest rate is indexed to the one-year treasury rate and adjusts annually.
Consumer Loans. We originate consumer loans for a wide variety of personal financial requirements. Consumer loans include home equity lines of credit, and loans secured by new and used automobiles, boats, savings accounts as well as overdraft protection for checking account customers. We also purchase retail installment loans from a select list of automobile dealerships located primarily in our market.
Consumer loans, except for home equity lines of credit, generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than residential mortgage loans and usually involve more credit risk than mortgage loans because of the type and nature of the collateral. While we do not utilize a formal credit scoring system, we believe our loans are underwritten carefully, with a strong emphasis on the amount of the down payment, credit quality, employment stability, and monthly income.
49
Table of Contents
These loans are generally repaid on a monthly repayment schedule with the source of repayment tied to the borrower’s periodic income. In addition, consumer lending collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and are thus likely to be adversely affected by job loss, illness and personal bankruptcy. In many cases, repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan will not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance because of depreciation of the underlying collateral. We believe that the generally higher yields earned on consumer loans compensate for the increased credit risk associated with such loans and that consumer loans are important to our efforts to serve the credit needs of the communities and customers that we serve.
Allowance for Loan Losses. An allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that we consider adequate to provide for losses in the loan portfolio. Allowances for loan losses are based upon our experience and estimates of the net realizable value of collateral in each loan portfolio. Our Board of Directors and senior management review the allowance quarterly. Our evaluation takes into consideration experience, the level of classified assets, non-performing loans, the current level of the allowance as it relates to the total loan portfolio, projected charge-offs, current economic conditions, recent regulatory examinations and other factors.
In determining the allowance for loan losses, we consider three principal elements: (i) specific allocations based on probable losses identified during the review of the loan portfolio, (ii) allocations based principally on historical loan loss experience, and (iii) additional allowances based on subjective factors, including local and general economic business factors and trends, portfolio concentrations and changes in the size, mix and/or general terms of the loan portfolios.
The first element reflects our estimate of probable losses based upon our systematic review of specific loans. These estimates are based upon a number of objective factors, such as payment history, financial condition of the borrower, and discounted collateral exposure.
As further discussed below, we have developed a risk rating system that is applied to our commercial loan portfolio. Loans rated 6 or higher are deemed “classified” and are subject to specific review to determine whether they are impaired, as defined by FAS 114. Portions of our allowance are assigned to individual loans based on this analysis.
Loans graded 5 or better and homogeneous mortgage and consumer loans are provided for in the allowance for loan losses computation by allocations based upon loan grade and type. These allocations include consideration of a variety of objective and subjective factors including our historical loss experience, delinquent status, the purpose and size of the loan, its collateral type, the current economic environment and other business factors and trends that we believe impact the ability of our borrowers to repay their obligations.
Delinquent Loans, Non-performing Assets and Classified Assets. When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, our bank attempts to cause the deficiency to be cured by contacting the borrower. In most cases, deficiencies are cured promptly as a result of these collection efforts.
When a borrower fails to make a timely payment, the borrower will receive a delinquency notice within 15 days of the due date. When the payment reaches 30 days past due, a second notice will be sent and a phone call will be made. In most cases, delinquencies are paid promptly. Generally, if a real estate loan becomes 90 days delinquent, the borrower and collateral will be assessed to determine whether foreclosure action is required. When deemed appropriate by management, a foreclosure action will be instituted or a deed in lieu of foreclosure will be pursued.
Loans that are 90 days past due and are not well secured and in the process of collection will be placed on non-accrual status. Under-collateralized loans that are 90 days past due will be fully or partially charged-off. The amount charged-off will be charged against the loan loss allowance.
Our bank has developed a risk-rating system to quantify loan quality. The system assigns a risk rating from 1 to 9 for each loan. Classified loans are those with risk ratings of 5 or higher. Each loan rating is determined by analyzing the borrowers’ management, financial ability, sales trends, operating results, financial conditions, asset protection, contingencies, payment history, financial flexibility, credit enhancements and other relevant factors. Loans that fall into the classified categories are monitored on a regular basis and proper action is taken to minimize our bank’s exposure. Losses or partial losses will be taken when they are recognized.
50
Table of Contents
Our bank’s risk rating system is similar to that used by regulatory agencies. Problem assets are classified as “substandard” (risk rating 7), “doubtful” (risk rating 8) or “loss” (risk rating 9). “Substandard” assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. “Doubtful” assets have the same weaknesses as “substandard” assets, with the additional characteristics that (i) the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable and (ii) there is a high possibility of loss. An asset classified “loss” is considered uncollectible and of such little value that its continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. The regulations also contain “special mention” (risk rating 6) and “watch credit” (risk rating 5) categories, consisting of assets which do not currently expose an institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification but which possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management’s close attention.
Generally, our bank classifies as “substandard” all loans that are delinquent more than 90 days, unless management believes the delinquency status is short-term due to unusual circumstances. Loans delinquent fewer than 90 days may also be classified if the loans have the characteristics described above rendering classification appropriate.
The aggregate amounts of our bank’s classified assets at June 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
June 30, | December 31, | |||||||||||
Rating | 2006 | 2005 | ||||||||||

Doubtful | 8 | — | 25 | |||||||||

Total classified assets | $ | 24,595 | $ | 14,636 | ||||||||
Classified assets increased $10.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006. The economic slowdown in our market area has resulted in an increase in the number and dollar amount of classified loans. We analyze loans graded 6 or higher individually for impairment. Many of these loans are performing and well collateralized but exhibit characteristics that make downgrading the loan appropriate.
The increase in delinquent loans during the six months ended June 30, 2006 is primarily due to the downgrading of one commercial real estate construction and two commercial real estate mortgage loans with a balance of $2,988,000 to non-accruing status. These loans are analyzed for impairment as part of the allowance for loan losses evaluation.
The following table reflects the amount of loans in delinquent status as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 (dollars in thousands):

Deposits and Other Services
Deposits. We offer a broad range of deposit services, including checking, savings, and money market accounts, certificates of deposit and direct deposit services. Transaction accounts and certificates of deposit are tailored to our primary market area at rates competitive with those offered in our area. All deposit accounts are
51

insured by the FDIC up to the maximum amount permitted by law. We solicit deposit accounts from individuals, businesses, associations, financial institutions and government entities.
Other Services. We offer a courier service for the deposit convenience of our business customers. We also offer a voice response, automated telephone banking service, available 24 hours a day and check imaging options including statements on CD ROM.
Investments
Our principal investments are our investment in the common stock of our bank and the common securities of the trust. Our funds may be invested from time to time in various debt instruments, including obligations of or guaranteed by the United States, general obligations of a state or political subdivision or an agency of a state or political subdivision, banker’s acceptances or certificates of deposit of United States commercial banks, or commercial paper of United States issuers rated in the highest category by a nationally-recognized investment rating service. We are permitted to make unlimited portfolio investments in equity securities and to make equity investments in subsidiary corporations engaged in certain non-banking activities, including real estate-related activities such as mortgage banking, community development, real estate appraisals, arranging equity financing for commercial real estate, and owning and operating real estate used substantially by our bank or acquired for its future use. However, we have no present plans to make any of these equity investments. Our Board of Directors may alter our investment policy at any time without stockholder approval.
Our bank may invest its funds in a wide variety of debt instruments and may participate in the federal funds market with other depository institutions. Subject to certain exceptions, our bank is prohibited from investing in equity securities. Under one exception, in certain circumstances and with the prior approval of the FDIC, our bank could invest up to 10% of its total assets in the equity securities of a subsidiary corporation engaged in the acquisition and development of real property for sale, or the improvement of real property by construction or rehabilitation of residential or commercial units for sale or lease. Our bank has no present plans to make such an investment. Real estate acquired by our bank in satisfaction of or foreclosure upon loans may be held by our bank. Our bank is also permitted to invest in such real estate as is necessary for the convenient transaction of its business. Our bank’s Board of Directors may alter the investment policy without stockholder approval at any time.
Effect of Government Monetary Policies
Our earnings are affected by domestic economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government, its agencies and the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board’s monetary policies have had, and will continue to have, an important impact on the operating results of commercial banks through its power to implement national monetary policy in order to, among other things, curb inflation and avoid a recession. The instruments of monetary policy employed by the Federal Reserve Board include open market operations in United States government securities, changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowing and changes in reserve requirements against deposits held by all federally insured banks. In view of changing conditions in the national economy and in the money markets, as well as the effect of actions by monetary fiscal authorities including the Federal Reserve Board, no prediction can be made as to possible future changes in interest rates, deposit levels, loan demand or our business and earnings.
Supervision and Regulation
We are a registered bank holding company and subject to the supervision of the Federal Reserve Board. We are required to file with the Federal Reserve Board annual reports and such other information as the Federal Reserve may require under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. We and the bank are each subject to examination by the Federal Reserve Board.
The Bank Holding Company Act requires every bank holding company to obtain prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before it may merge with or consolidate into another bank holding company, acquire substantially all assets of any bank, or acquire ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank, if after such acquisition, it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank holding company or bank. The Federal Reserve Board may in its discretion approve the acquisition by us of the voting shares or substantially all assets of a bank located in Michigan and, subject to certain restrictions, located in any other state.
52
Table of Contents
The Bank Holding Company Act also prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank, and from engaging in any business other than that of banking, managing and controlling banks and their subsidiaries. Holding companies may engage in, and may own shares of companies engaged in, certain businesses found by the Federal Reserve Board to be closely related to banking or the management or control of banks. Under current regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, a holding company and its non-bank subsidiaries are permitted to engage in investment management, sales and consumer finance, equipment leasing, data processing, discount securities brokerage, mortgage banking and brokerage, and other activities. These activities are subject to certain limitation imposed by the regulations.
Transactions between our holding company and bank are subject to various restrictions imposed by state and federal law. Such transactions include loans and other extensions of credit, purchases of securities, any payments of fees and other distributions. Federal law places restrictions on the amount and nature of loans to executive officers, directors and controlling persons of banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and holding companies controlling such banks.
Our bank is a state chartered bank and subject to regulation and examination by the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Services. Through our bank, we are also subject to certain provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and regulations issued under that act. The regulations affect many of our activities, including the permissible types and amounts of loans, investments, capital adequacy, branching, interest rates payable on deposits, required reserves, and the safety and soundness of our practices. Our bank is not a member bank of the Federal Reserve Board and is regulated and examined by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Competition
We face strong competition for deposits, loans and other financial services from numerous banks, savings banks, thrifts, credit unions and other financial institutions as well as other entities which provide financial services, including consumer finance companies, securities brokerage firms, mortgage brokers, insurance companies, mutual funds, and other lending sources and investment alternatives. Some of the financial institutions and financial services organizations with which we compete are not subject to the same degree of regulation as we are. Many of these financial institutions and financial services organizations aggressively compete for business in our market area. Most of these competitors have been in business for many years, have established customer bases, are larger, have substantially higher lending limits than us, and are able to offer certain services that we do not currently provide, including more extensive branch networks, trust services, and international banking services. In addition, most of these entities have greater capital resources than us, which, among other things, may allow them to price their services at levels more favorable to the customer and to provide larger credit facilities than we could provide. Additionally, legislation regarding interstate branching and banking may increase competition in the future fromout-of-state banks.
Employees
As of June 30, 2006, we had 168 employees, including 52 officers and 116 customer service, operations and other support persons. We believe that our relations with our employees are excellent.
Legal Proceedings
We may be involved from time to time in various routine legal proceedings incidental to our business. We are not engaged in any legal proceeding that is expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
Our authorized capital stock consists of 10,000,000 shares of common stock. As of the date of this prospectus, there are 5,617,565 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
Dividend Rights. The holders of our common stock are entitled to cash dividends when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. Under Michigan law, cash dividends may be legally declared or paid only if after the distribution the corporation can pay its debts as they come due in the usual course of business and the corporation’s total assets equal or exceed the sum of its liabilities.
Voting Rights. All voting rights are vested in the holders of shares of our common stock. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters, including the election of directors. Our shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights.
Preemptive Rights. Holders of our common stock do not have preemptive rights.
Liquidation Rights. Holders of our common stock are entitled to share on a pro rata basis in our net assets which remain after satisfaction of all liabilities.
Transfer Agent. Computershare Investors Services, LLC serves as the transfer agent for our common stock.
Certain Antitakeover Provisions
The following provisions of our Articles of Incorporation may delay, defer, prevent, or make it more difficult for a person to acquire us or to change control of our Board of Directors, thereby reducing our vulnerability to an unsolicited takeover attempt.
57
Table of Contents
Classification of the Board and Filling Board Vacancies. Our Articles of Incorporation divide the Board into three classes with staggered terms; each director is elected for a three year term. Approximately one-third of the Board positions are filled by a shareholder vote each year. Any vacancies in the Board, or newly created director positions, may be filled only by a 662/3% vote of the directors in office, and a majority of the Continuing Directors (as defined in Article X of our Articles of Incorporation).
Board Evaluation of Certain Offers and Proposed Business Combinations. The Board of Directors is required by the Articles of Incorporation to consider all factors it deems relevant before it approves any offer to acquire our shares of common stock, any offer to merge or consolidate the company with any other entity or to sell all or substantially all of our assets. These factors could include the adequacy and fairness of the consideration to be received, the potential social and economic impact of the transaction on us, our employees, customers and vendors and the communities in which we and our subsidiaries operate.
Certain Business Combinations, as defined in our Articles of Incorporation, may require a super-majority approval by our shareholders. These Business Combinations include transactions such as a merger or consolidation of the company or a subsidiary, a sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, transfer or other disposition of assets of 10% or more of our net worth, the issuance or transfer of our equity securities or equity securities of one of our subsidiaries having an aggregate fair market value of 5% or more of the market value of our outstanding shares, the adoption of any plan of liquidation or dissolution of the company, or any reclassification of securities or recapitalization which increases the proportionate share of any class of our outstanding securities.
Super-majority approval of our shareholders is required for any of these Business Combinations in which an “Interested Shareholder” or an Interested Shareholder’s “Affiliate” is involved. An Interested Shareholder includes a person who owns, and in some cases a person who owned, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If a Business Combination is subject to these provisions, it would require the approval of shareholders owning at least 662/3% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock. In addition, shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of our common stock not owned directly or indirectly by the Interested Shareholder or the Interested Shareholder’s Affiliates or Associates (as such terms are defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in effect on the date of the filing of our Articles of Incorporation) must approve the Business Combination.
A super-majority vote is not required if the Business Combination is approved by a majority of Directors who are unaffiliated with the Interested Shareholder and were members of the Board before the Interested Shareholder owned 10% of our shares. Such a Director and such Director’s successor who is unaffiliated with the Interested Shareholder and is recommended to succeed a Continuing Director by a majority of the Continuing Directors then on the Board is defined in our Articles of Incorporation as a “Continuing Director.”
A super-majority vote also will not be required when the aggregate amount of cash and the fair market value of consideration other than cash to be received per share by our shareholders exceeds a stated amount. This amount is the higher of the fair market value per share or the highest price per share paid by the Interested Shareholder. There are certain additional requirements contained in our Articles of Incorporation that must be met to avoid the super-majority vote requirement.
It is the duty of a majority of the Continuing Directors to determine the facts necessary for evaluating compliance with our Articles of Incorporation. These facts include whether a person is an “Interested Shareholder”, the number of shares owned by each shareholder, the proposed purchase price of shares, and the company’s net worth. The good faith determination of the Continuing Directors on such matters shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.
Our Articles of Incorporation expressly provide that nothing contained in the provisions dealing with Business Combinations shall be construed to relieve any member of the Board of Directors or any Interested Shareholder from any fiduciary duty imposed by law upon them. In addition, our Articles of Incorporation expressly provide that we shall not be governed by the provisions of the Michigan Business Corporation Act (MBCA) dealing with regulation of Business Combinations (Chapter 7A) unless the Board of Directors by a majority vote of the Continuing Directors elects to have us governed by such provisions.

Table of Contents
Shareholder Equity Provisions of the Michigan Business Corporation Act. In addition to the foregoing charter provisions contained in our Articles of Incorporation, the MBCA conditions the acquisition of voting control of certain Michigan business corporations on the approval by the majority of the pre-existing disinterested shareholders. In general, these provisions deny voting rights to those persons who make purchase offers or investors who increase their holdings above any of the “Control Share” levels (described below), unless they are granted voting rights by a majority vote of all disinterested shareholders (shareholders excluding the bidders or owners of Control Shares and the corporation’s officers and employee-directors). Control Shares are shares that, when added to shares already owned by that person, give the person voting power in the election of directors over any one of three thresholds: one-fifth, one-third and a majority. If the shareholders do not elect to grant voting rights to Control Shares, under certain circumstances, the Control Shares may become subject to redemption by the corporation. The Board of Directors may amend our Bylaws before a Control Share acquisition occurs to provide that these provisions do not apply to us.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that the company shall indemnify its directors and officers as of right to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our Articles of Incorporation further provide that any persons who are not directors or officers may be similarly indemnified to the extent authorized by the Board of Directors.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulations impose limitations on indemnification payments which could restrict, in certain circumstances, payments by the company or our bank to their respective directors or officers otherwise permitted under the MBCA or the Michigan Banking Code, respectively.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the company pursuant to the provisions discussed above or otherwise, the company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Limitations of Director Liability
The MBCA permits corporations to limit the personal liability of their directors in certain circumstances, and our Articles of Incorporation contain such a provision. A director of the company shall not be personally liable to the company or our shareholders for money damages for any action taken or any failure to take any action as a director, except liability for any of the following: (i) the amount of a financial benefit received by a director to which he or she is not entitled, (ii) the intentional infliction of harm by the director on the company or the shareholders of the company, (iii) a violation of Section 551 of the MBCA (certain unlawful actions), or (iv) an intentional criminal act committed by the director.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase and accept delivery of the common stock offered by this prospectus are subject to approval by their counsel of legal matters and to other conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement. The underwriters are obligated to purchase and accept delivery of all of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus, if any are purchased, other than those covered by the over-allotment option described below.
59
Table of Contents
The underwriters propose to offer the common stock directly to the public at the public offering price indicated on the cover page of this prospectus and to various dealers at that price less a concession not to exceed $ per share, of which $ may be reallowed to other dealers. After this offering, the public offering price, concession and reallowance to dealers may be reduced by the underwriters. No reduction will change the amount of proceeds to be received by us as indicated on the cover page of this prospectus. The shares of common stock are offered by the underwriters as stated in this prospectus, subject to receipt and acceptance by them and subject to their right to reject any order in whole or in part.
We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable within 30 days after the date of this prospectus, to purchase from time to time up to an aggregate of 405,000 additional shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any, at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option to purchase any of the additional 405,000 shares, each underwriter, subject to certain conditions, will become obligated to purchase its pro rata portion of these additional shares based on the underwriter’s percentage purchase commitment in this offering as indicated in the table above. If purchased, these additional shares will be sold by the underwriters on the same terms as those on which the shares offered by this prospectus are being sold. The underwriters may exercise the over-allotment option only to cover over-allotments made in connection with the sale of the shares of common stock offered in this offering.
The following table summarizes the underwriting compensation to be paid to the underwriters by us. These amounts assume both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase additional shares. We estimate that the total expenses payable by us in connection with this offering, other than the underwriting discounts referred to above, will be approximately $300,000.

Underwriting discount payable by us |
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against various liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.
Subject to specified exceptions, each of our directors and our executive officers has agreed, for a period of 90 days after the date of this prospectus, without the prior written consent of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., not to offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock or any other security convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock. This agreement also precludes any short sale or other hedging transaction which is designed or reasonably expected to result in a disposition of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock.
In addition, we have agreed that, for 90 days after the date of this prospectus, we will not, without the prior written consent of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., issue, sell, contract to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of our common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for our common stock, other than options or shares of common stock grantedand/or issued to our officers, directors or employees from time to time in the ordinary course of business pursuant to employment agreements and stock option or stock bonus plans currently in effect.
Until the offering is completed, rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission may limit the ability of the underwriters and certain selling group members to bid for and purchase shares of our common stock. As an exception to these rules, the underwriters may engage in certain transactions that stabilize the price of our common stock. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions, purchases to cover positions created by short sales and passive market making. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of our common stock than they are required to purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock while the offering is in progress. In passive market making, the underwriters, in their capacities as market makers in the common stock, may, subject to limitations, make bids for or purchases of our common stock until the time, if any, at which a stabilizing bid is made.
60
Table of Contents
The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the other underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.
These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters without notice at any time. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Global Market or otherwise.
Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “DEAR.”
Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. presently serves as our financial advisor in connection with our pending merger with Fidelity, the transaction for which the proceeds from the sale of common stock are planned to be used. As our financial advisor for the merger, Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. assisted us in evaluating the pending merger with Fidelity. We will compensate Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. for its services as our financial advisor for the merger. Under the rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), Oppenheimer & Co. Inc.’s compensation for such services may be considered by the NASD to be compensation for the sale of our common stock even though such compensation is not intended for or contingent upon the sale of our common stock. In addition, certain representatives of the underwriters or their affiliates may perform from time to time investment banking and other financial services for us and our affiliates for which they may receive advisory or transaction fees, as applicable, plusout-of-pocket expenses, of the nature and in amounts customary in the industry for these financial services. Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and Howe Barnes Hoefer & Arnett, Inc. are currently market makers in our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary
Dearborn, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated March 8, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.
Basis of Presentation and Operations
Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) was incorporated in Michigan on September 30, 1992. The Corporation’s primary subsidiary, Community Bank of Dearborn (the “Bank”), began operations on February 28, 1994. The Bank operates twelve community banking offices in Dearborn (2), Dearborn Heights, Plymouth Township, Canton Township, Clinton Township (2), Southgate, Auburn Hills, Saline and Ann Arbor (2) in Michigan, offering a full range of banking services to individuals and businesses. The Bank also operates Community Bank Mortgage, Inc., a mortgage company that originates and services residential and commercial mortgage loans, Community Bank Insurance Agency, an insurance agency with limited activities and Community Bank Audit Services, Inc., a company that offers internal auditing services to financial institutions.
The Bank’s primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are commercial, residential mortgage, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Real estate loans are secured by both residential and commercial real estate. Other financial instruments which potentially represent concentrations of credit risk include deposit accounts in other financial institutions.
While the Corporation’s management monitors the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Corporation-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Corporation’s banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.
Quarterly Financial Information
The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 and for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 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 periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the entire year.
The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 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 omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Community Bank of Dearborn and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Community Bank Mortgage, Inc., Community Bank Insurance Agency, Inc. and Community Bank Audit Services, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates
In the preparation of financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates that are more susceptible to change in the near term include the allowance for loan losses, fair value of certain financial instruments, and the carrying value of intangible assets.
Cash Flows
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Corporation considers cash on hand, cash due from banks, federal funds sold, and interest bearing deposits with other banks to be cash equivalents. Net cash flows are reported for loan, deposit and short-term borrowing transactions.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market on an aggregate basis. These loans are sold service released to other entities.
Securities
When securities are purchased and the Corporation intends to hold the securities for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity, they are classified as available for sale and carried at fair value. Any decision to sell a security available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities, liquidity demands, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. Cost is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are excluded from income and recorded as an amount, net of tax, in other comprehensive income and as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. All of the Corporation’s securities are classified as available for sale. Gains and losses on sales are based on the amortized cost of the security and securities are written down to fair market value when a decline in fair value is not temporary.
Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses. In estimatingother-than-temporary losses, management considers: (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the Corporation’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
Loans
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses.
Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is generally discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of the loan balance is confirmed or when required by policy.
Loan Impairment
A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage and consumer loans, and on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.
Foreclosed Assets
Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at the lower of cost or fair value when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines below the new cost basis, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed.
Premises and Equipment
Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Building and improvements — 5 to 30 years
Furniture and equipment — 3 to 10 years
Long-Term Assets
Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill results from business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified.
Other intangible assets consist of core deposit and business relationship intangible assets arising from a bank acquisition in 2004. They are initially measured at fair value and are being amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives. These assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

Stock Compensation
The Corporation has two incentive stock plans. Employee compensation expense under the 1994 Stock Option Plan is reported using the intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation cost from this plan 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 per share data).

The pro forma effects are computed with option pricing models, using the following weighted average assumptions as of grant date. No options were granted during 2004. The impact of options granted during 2005 were reflected in net income and do not have any pro forma effects. All per share amounts have been adjusted for stock dividends.

Employee compensation expense under the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan is reported using the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation. Since stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, there is no pro forma effect.
The Corporation adopted FAS 123, Revised on January 1, 2006. FAS 123, Revised, requires companies to record compensation cost for stock options provided to employees in return for employment service. The cost is measured at the fair value of the options when granted, and this cost is expensed over the employment service period, which is normally the vesting period of the options. This applies to awards granted or modified in fiscal years beginning in 2006 as well as to awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 that were not vested at that date. The effect on results of operations will depend on the level of future option grants and the calculation of the fair value of the options granted at such future date, as well as the vesting periods provided, and so cannot currently be predicted. Options granted under the 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan were “variable”, as defined by FAS 123. Upon adoption of FAS 123, Revised, the remaining unrecognized fair value of these options at the grant date will be expensed over the remaining service period. Any income tax benefit for the exercise of stock options in excess of income tax expense for financial reporting purposes will be classified as a cash inflow for financing activities and a cash

outflow for operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For additional information regarding the Corporation’s incentive stock plans, refer to Note O.
Income Taxes
The Corporation files a consolidated federal income tax return. The Corporation uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax amounts to the amount expected to be realized.
Stock Dividends
The fair value of shares issued in stock dividends is transferred from retained earnings to common stock, to the extent of available retained earnings. Any excess of fair value over available retained earnings is considered a return of capital. All share and per share amounts are retroactively adjusted for stock dividends.
Reclassifications
Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Income Per Share
Basic income per share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options. Income per share is restated for all stock splits and dividends through the date of issue of the financial statements.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, net of tax, which are also recognized as separate components of equity.
Loss Contingencies
Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.
Restrictions on Cash
The Corporation was required to have $1,097,000, $3,980,000 and $5,166,000 of cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. These balances do not earn interest.
Dividend Restrictions
Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank to the Corporation or by the Corporation to stockholders.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.
Effect of Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition and measurement threshold for a tax position taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Corporation has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of FIN 48.

Unrealized losses on these securities have not been recognized into income because these securities are of high credit quality, management has the intent and ability to hold these securities for the foreseeable future, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or reset date.
The Corporation does not hold any securities in the “Held to Maturity” category nor does the Corporation hold or utilize derivatives.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating its fair value disclosure for financial instruments:
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 was not considered material to this presentation.
Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
The Corporation is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and financial guarantees. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk that are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
Exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional amount of those items. The Corporation generally requires collateral to support such financial instruments in excess of the contractual notional amount of those instruments and, therefore, is in a fully collateralized position.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there are no violations of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require a payment of a fee. Since portions of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Corporation evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case by case basis. The amount of collateral obtained upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

NOTE M — EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Bank maintains a 401(k) plan for its employees. All employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) after completion of age and service requirements. An employee can be enrolled as a participant on the first “Enrollment Date” after reaching age 21 and completing six months of service.
Contributions to the plan by the Bank are discretionary and are expensed as made. The Bank matches 50% of the first 6% of employee contributions to the plan. Employer contributions vest 20% per year for five years. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the years ended December 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, employer contributions were $85,000, $148,000, $121,000 and $124,000, respectively.
NOTE N — REGULATORY MATTERS
The Corporation and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for the Bank, the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. At June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Federal and state banking laws and regulations place certain restrictions on the amount of dividends and loans a bank can pay to its parent company. Under the most restrictive of these regulations at December 31, 2005, the Bank could pay approximately $18,300,000 in dividends to the parent company without prior regulatory approval. No cash dividends have ever been paid by the Bank.
NOTE O — 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. 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 in the 1994 Plan follows:

At June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, 458,649, 492,510, 625,667 and 718,311 options were exercisable at weighted average exercise prices of $8.61, $8.40, $8.32 and $7.28 per share, respectively. On June 30, 2006, there were no shares available for grant under the 1994 Plan.
During 2005, the Corporation initiated the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Under this plan, up to 330,750 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. In October of 2005, the Corporation’s Board of Directors approved grants of stock options and restricted stock. The awards have a term of ten years and typically vest fully three years from the grant date. In order for vesting to occur, 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 options. The actual cost of these awards could range from zero to 150% of the currently recorded compensation cost, depending on the Corporation’s actual performance.
Stock Options Granted — The incentive stock options were granted with exercise prices equal to market prices on the day of grant. The weighted average fair value of the options granted at grant date was $7.96. The following assumptions were used to determine weighted average fair value of the options granted at grant date:
2005 | ||||
Risk-free interest rate | 4.39% | |||
Expected option life | 6.5 years | |||
Dividend yield | 0.00% | |||
Expected volatility of stock price | 25.09% |
Stock Options Granted — The incentive stock options were granted with exercise prices equal to market prices on the day of grant. At June 30, 2006, there were 16,631 stock options granted with a weighted average exercise price of $21.87. These options are eligible to vest fully on June 30, 2008.
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Corporation recognized stock option compensation expense of $23,000. The stock options vest on June 30, 2008. Compensation cost of $45,000, $43,000 and $22,000 is expected to be recognized during 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
Restricted Stock Grants — Restricted stock totaling 12,231 shares were granted to officers on October 12, 2005. The restricted stock vests on June 30, 2008. Compensation cost of $52,000 and a tax benefit of $18,000 was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Compensation cost of $104,000, $104,000 and $52,000 is expected to be recognized during 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
FAS 123, Revised, adopted January 1, 2006 requires certain additional disclosures beyond what was included in the Corporation’s 2005 Annual Report. The intrinsic value of options exercised during 2003, 2004 and 2005 were $572,000, $1,280,000 and $1,592,000, respectively. The intrinsic value of options outstanding at December 31,

2005 was $7,472,000 for options issued under the 1994 Stock Option Plan and $27,000 for options issued under the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The fair value of options vesting during 2003 and 2004 was $792,000 and $9,000, respectively. No options vested in 2005 or 2006. Shares issued for option exercises are expected to come from authorized but unissued shares.

NOTE S — ACQUISITION (Unaudited)
On September 14, 2006, the Corporation signed a definitive agreement to acquire Fidelity Financial Corporation of Michigan (“Fidelity”) for $70,500,000 in cash. This transaction is expected to close in January 2007, pending regulatory approval. As of June 30, 2006, Fidelity had total assets of $251,000,000, gross loans of $185,000,000 and total deposits of $217,000,000.
The acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting which requires the purchase price to be allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets purchased and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. These purchase accounting adjustments will be amortized or accreted into income over the estimated lives of the related assets and liabilities. Goodwill will not be amortized, but will be reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. Goodwill and other intangible assets will be tax deductible over 15 years.

The following table presents pro forma information for the Corporation including the acquisition of Fidelity for six months ended June 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 2005. This pro forma information assumes that the majority of the purchase price is funded by the proceeds from the issuance of 2,700,000 shares of Dearborn stock in a public offering, that identified intangible assets that will be amortized aggregate to approximately $4,800,000 and that purchase accounting adjustments assigned to tangible assets and liabilities will not be significant. Goodwill is expected to be approximately $37,000,000.

The Michigan Business Corporation Act also gives us broad powers to indemnify defined persons against expenses and reasonable settlement payments in connection with any action by or in the right of the company, provided the person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, except that no indemnification may be made if that person is adjudged to be liable to us unless and only to the extent the court in which that action was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for reasonable expenses as the court deems proper. In addition, to the extent that any specified person is successful in the defense of any defined legal proceeding, we are required by the Michigan Business Corporation Act to indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that are actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that the company shall indemnify its directors and officers as of right to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our Articles of Incorporation further provide that any persons who are not directors or officers may be similarly indemnified to the extent authorized by the Board of Directors.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulations impose limitations on indemnification payments which could restrict, in certain circumstances, payments by us or our bank to our respective directors or officers otherwise permitted under the Michigan Business Corporation Act or the Michigan Banking Code.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the company pursuant to the provisions discussed above or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 17. Undertakings
(a) We hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initialbona fideoffering thereof.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant, in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initialbona fideoffering thereof.
