To Our Stockholders,
When Fidelity Bank, then known as Community Bank of Dearborn, opened for business 15 years ago, our goal was to build a conservative, well-capitalized, mid-sized bank serving the southeast Michigan metropolitan area. Looking back, we followed our original business plan and developed a billion-dollar organization of which we are all proud. True, we did make occasional small changes in our course over the years, reflecting developments in the markets we serve. However, we have not strayed far from the path we first set out to follow in February, 1994.
From the beginning, we realized that financial conditions would vary over time. For that reason, we were always cautious lenders, seeking business from individuals and organizations that had good records of successful performance, strong cash flows, and ample collateral to secure the loans we made. We avoided excessive concentration of our business with any one borrower or in any single industry sector. We kept our deposit growth in line with our loan growth, seeking such growth only as we generated loan demand to utilize the funds. This was the formula for success used by well-managed banks for many years. What we could not foresee in 1994 was the economic recession of today and its particularly hard impact on Southeast Michigan.
We did anticipate some of the problems. We backed away from residential mortgage lending when credit standards began to deteriorate. We shunned the exotic securities that Wall Street created from dubious mortgages and other types of debt. We stuck to our core business of making well-secured loans to people and entities we knew in locations that were familiar to us.
However, the housing market spiraled downward far faster and farther than we could have predicted. In much of the country, a “bubble” that resulted when too many houses were built to sell at prices that rose too far too fast caused problems in the housing market. Here in Michigan, however, the collapse of the housing market was not caused by overbuilding, exorbitant prices, and wild speculation but by widespread unemployment and depressed business activity.
The distress in the housing market had a serious impact on our organization in 2008. We took large non-cash write-downs of goodwill and intangible assets reflecting the diminished stock value of our company. We recognized significant losses on defaulted loans and incurred multi-million dollar expenses related to the properties to which we took title in the course of the collection process.
Costs and charges related to troubled loans also served to depress 2008 earnings. We provided $14,606,000 for possible loan losses and incurred $2,078,000 in defaulted loan expenses. These expenses were largely maintenance, taxes, insurance, and related legal fees. We also had losses of $745,000 on the sale of repossessed real estate and wrote down the value of other real estate that we now own by $2,292,000.
When we acquired the Bank of Washtenaw in 2004 and Fidelity Bank in 2007, we identified core deposit and borrower relationship intangible assets of $12,970,000 related to these two transactions. We also valued the goodwill acquired with these institutions at $34,028,000. When we re-evaluated these assets in light of current economic conditions during the Fourth Quarter, we determined that it would be appropriate to recognize a $5,573,000 non-cash impairment of the intangible assets and write off all of the goodwill, resulting in another large non-cash charge.
As a consequence of the two non-cash charges to income and costs related to bad loans, we recorded a net loss of $31,925,000 for 2008. In comparison, we reported net income of $3,166,000 for 2007. This loss was the equivalent of a loss of $3.99 per fully diluted share in 2008 while the net income per share was $0.36 for 2007.
4
Because we have always operated under the principle that “there is no such thing as too much capital,” Fidelity Bank has been able to absorb these losses while remaining Well Capitalized according to regulatory guidelines. At the end of 2008, the Bank’s Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets ratio was 10.47%, the Tier 1 Capital to Risk Weighted Assets ratio was 9.22%, and the Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets ratio was 8.69%. The guideline minimums to be well capitalized are 10.00%, 6.00%, and 5.00%, respectively.
Our situation has been further enhanced by the action of the FDIC to increase deposit insurance limits on most accounts significantly and remove all limits on some non-interest bearing accounts. Clearly, this has had a very beneficial effect on all banks. It is our opinion that this increased deposit insurance, along with the inherent strength of our own financial position, allows a Fidelity Bank customer to be confident that they are doing business with an institution that is safe and sound.
We did experience some compression in our net interest margin in 2008 due to the increase in non-performing loans and competitive pressures in both lending and deposit gathering. However, our net interest margin was 3.29% in 2008, which compares well with the average margin of 3.32% reported by the FDIC for banks with total assets of $1 billion or more at the end of the Third Quarter. It had been 3.48% in 2007.
We are pleased to report that we experienced modest growth during the past year in spite of the depressed state of the economy. Total Assets went up to $1,121,918,000 at the end of 2008 from $1,046,981,000 at the end of 2007, an increase of 7.16%. Total deposits grew to $938,395,000 at year-end while they had been $822,627,000 one year earlier. This was a healthy 14.07% increase. Total loans, however, declined to $933,269,000 from $952,084,000 or 1.98%. Some of this decline was due to net charge-offs of loans in the amount of $10,771,000 over the course of the year and some was attributable to our cautious approach to lending in a difficult environment.
We believe that we have identified our significant problems and are taking appropriate steps to deal with them. We have added four experienced workout specialists to our staff to help us deal with the problems in our loan portfolio. We are aggressively selling repossessed real estate even when we must do so at a further loss. We are intent on cleaning up our balance sheet as quickly as possible even as we recognize that there are no “quick fixes” in many situations. In short, we think that we know where we are, where we must go, and how best to get there.
Most important, we are continuing to provide our deposit and loan customers with the high quality service that led them to do business with us in the first place and then remain among our customers over time. We pay competitive rates on deposits and we have money to lend. In times like these, individuals and business organizations, whether they are borrowers or depositors, can rest easy when their accounts are at Fidelity Bank.
As you know, the last U.S. Congress passed a $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to assist banks caught up in the economic crisis last year. The Government could not let a significant number of banks, particularly the largest ones, fail. Essentially, program funds were used to buy preferred stock with common stock warrants attached in some banks. These funds were intended to allow these banks to liquidate portfolios of so-called toxic assets and absorb loan losses.
Initially, we were inclined to seek TARP money and applied for a $29 million investment. However, as the complete details of the program became clear, we withdrew our application. Our analysis indicated that the terms of the stock warrants we would be forced to issue with the preferred shares would excessively dilute the positions of our existing stockholders. In the end, we felt that a TARP capital infusion would neither advance the interests of our stockholders nor improve our operations.
5
Now, as we move into 2009, we believe that we are focused on the priorities that will allow us to prosper once again when the economy recovers. Highest among those priorities are improving our stock value, clearing up problems among our loans, liquidating repossessed property and other assets, and maintaining the high level of customer service that has been the key ingredient in our success over the past 15 years. We know that this will not be easy but we are confident that we have the experienced professionals on our staff who can accomplish the tasks ahead of us.
Our Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held on May 19, 2009, at the Park Place, 23400 Park Avenue, Dearborn, Michigan, at 3:00 p.m. The directors and senior officers look forward to seeing you there, providing you with a more detailed report on our operations, answering your questions, and hearing your suggestions.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an effective system of internal control over financial reporting presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.
Management assessed the Corporation’s systems of internal control over financial reporting presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as of December 31, 2008. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2008, Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. maintained effective control over financial reporting presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles based on those criteria.
The Corporation’s registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting.

December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006
NOTE A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.
Nature of Operations and Principals of Consolidation
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. As discussed in Note B, the Corporation acquired Fidelity Financial Corporation of Michigan on January 4, 2007 and merged its operations into the Bank. On April 30, 2007, the Community Bank of Dearborn was renamed Fidelity Bank. The Bank operates eighteen banking offices in Dearborn (2), Dearborn Heights, Plymouth Township, Canton Township, Clinton Township (2), Southgate, Auburn Hills, Saline, Ann Arbor (2), Birmingham, Bloomfield Township, Bingham Farms, Southfield (3) and Shelby Township in Michigan, offering a full range of banking services to individuals and businesses. The Bank also operates Community Bank Insurance Agency, Inc., 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 consumer 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.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fidelity Bank 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 real estate owned, fair value of certain financial instruments, and the carrying value of intangible assets.

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Cash Flows
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Corporation considers cash on hand, federal funds sold, and 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 servicing 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, net of deferred income tax, in other comprehensive income and as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. 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 sold 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 estimating other-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 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.

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (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.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical or industry loss experience adjusted for current factors.
A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Loan relationships that are rated watch or worse with a balance above $150,000 are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of the collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.
Transfers of Financial Assets
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Corporation, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Corporation does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Foreclosed Assets
Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines below the new cost basis, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Operating 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:
Buildings and improvements — 10 to 39 years
Furniture and equipment — 3 to 10 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.

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock
The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.
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 bank acquisitions in 2004 and 2007. They are initially measured at fair value and are being amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 10 to 11 years.
In addition to a quarterly review by management, goodwill and other intangible assets are evaluated annually by an outside consultant for impairment. If there is impairment, a non-cash impairment expense is recorded.
Stock Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-based Payment”, using the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly, the Company has recorded stock-based employee compensation cost using the fair value method starting in 2006.
The Corporation has two incentive stock plans. Employee compensation expense under the 1994 Stock Option Plan was 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.
Employee compensation expense under the 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan is reported using the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation”.
Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments
Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Stock Dividends
The fair value of shares issued in stock dividends is transferred from retained earnings to common stock. All share and per share amounts are retroactively adjusted for stock dividends.

Income Taxes
The Corporation files a consolidated federal income tax return. Income tax expense is the total of federal income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. 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.
The Corporation adopted FASB Interpretation 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no affect on the Corporation’s financial statements.
The Corporation recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
Reclassifications
Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income.
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.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options. Earnings 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 deferred income tax, which are also recognized as separate components of equity.
Restrictions on Cash
The Corporation was required to have $1,917,000 and $25,000 of cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at year end 2008 and 2007, 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.
Valuation Measurements
Valuation methodologies often involve a significant degree of judgment, particularly when there are no observable active markets for the items being valued. Investment securities and residential mortgage loans held for sale are carried at fair value, as defined in SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS No. 157”), which requires key judgments affecting how fair value for such assets and liabilities is determined. In addition, the outcomes of valuations have a direct bearing on the carrying amounts for goodwill, and intangibles assets. To determine the values of these assets and liabilities, as well as the extent to which related assets may be impaired, management makes assumptions and estimates related to discount rates, asset returns, prepayment rates and other factors. The use of different discount rates or other valuation assumptions could produce significantly different results, which could affect the Corporation’s results of operations.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Effective January 1, 2008, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) for existing fair value measurement requirements related to financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy to be used in performing measurements of fair value. Additionally, SFAS 157 emphasizes that fair value should be determined from the perspective of a market participant while also indicating that valuation methodologies should first reference available market data before using internally developed assumptions. SFAS 157 also provides expanded disclosure requirements regarding the effects of fair value measurements on the financial statements. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations, or liquidity.
On October 10, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP FAS 157-3”). FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key consideration in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP FAS 157-3 is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The Corporation adopted FSP FAS 157-3 for the period ended September 30, 2008 and the adoption did not have any significant impact on consolidated statements of financial position, consolidated statement of operations, or disclosures.

Effect of Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards
During December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”). This Statement replaces SFAS 141 “Business Combinations” (“Statement 141”). SFAS 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (called the ‘purchase method’) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses, including those sometimes referred to as “true mergers” or “mergers of equals” and combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration, for example, by contract alone or through the lapse of minority veto rights. This is broader than in Statement 141 which applied only to business combinations in which control was obtained by transferring consideration. This Statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141(R) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination and defines a bargain purchase as a business combination in which the total acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred plus any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, and it requires the acquirer to recognize that excess as a gain attributable to the acquirer. In contrast, Statement 141 required the “negative goodwill” amount to be allocated as a pro rata reduction of the amounts assigned to assets acquired. SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date.
During December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 established accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statement, but separate from the parent’s equity. Before the Statement was issued these so-called minority interests were reported in the consolidated statement of financial position as liabilities or in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. The amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest must be clearly identified and presented in the consolidated statement of income. This Statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Management does not anticipate that this Statement will have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Effect of Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards
During March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirement of SFAS 133 No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. To meet those objectives, SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early application is encouraged. Management does not anticipate that this Statement will have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
During May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 162”). This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. This Statement is effective 60 days following the SEC approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” Adoption of SFAS 162 will not be a change in the Corporation’s current accounting practices; therefore, it will not have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
During June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarifies whether instruments, such as restricted stock, granted in share-based payments are participating securities prior to vesting. Such participating securities must be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method as described in SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” FSP EITF 03-6-1 requires companies to treat unvested share-based payment awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividend or dividend equivalents as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings per share. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008, and requires a company to retrospectively adjust its earning per share data. Early adoption is not permitted. It is not expected that the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 will have a material effect on consolidated results of operations or earnings per share.

NOTE B — ACQUISITION
On January 4, 2007, the Corporation acquired the Fidelity Financial Corporation of Michigan (Fidelity) for approximately $70,500,000 in cash. As of January 4, 2007, the assets and liabilities of Fidelity at acquisition and net income derived from those assets and liabilities since the acquisition have been consolidated into the Bank. Fidelity was founded in 1973 and has its main office in Birmingham, Michigan with single branch offices in Bloomfield Township, Michigan and Bingham Farms, Michigan and four branch offices in Southfield, Michigan. As of December 31, 2006, Fidelity had total assets of $220,419,000, gross loans of $179,600,000 and total deposits of $187,547,000.
The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Identified intangible assets and purchase accounting fair value adjustments are being amortized under various methods over the expected lives of the corresponding assets and liabilities. Goodwill will not be amortized, but will be reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. Goodwill and other intangible assets are tax deductible over 15 years. Identified intangible assets subject to amortization were $10,421,000. Goodwill recorded was $28,555,000.
Subsequent to an analysis of goodwill and other intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2008, the Corporation recorded impairment expense of goodwill in the amount of $28,555,000 and impairment expense of other intangible assets in the amount of $4,561,000 related to the acquisition of Fidelity. At December 31, 2008, intangible assets related to the acquisition of Fidelity were $4,010,000.
The following table presents pro forma information for the Corporation including the acquisition of Fidelity for the year ended December 31, 2006 as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 2006. 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.

Non-performing loans included troubled debt restructuring of $17,765,000 at December 31, 2008. These loans were qualified as troubled debt restructuring due to changes from principal and interest payments to interest only payments, restructuring of collateral, or renewals of interest reserves when current loan to value ratios were outside of our normal loan policy. In all cases, no additional valuation allowances were recorded against the loans since all of the modifications related to terms other than interest rates or principal balances. All of these loans are current according to their renegotiated terms.

NOTE F — GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Corporation acquired Fidelity Financial Corporation of Michigan (Fidelity) and the Bank of Washtenaw (Washtenaw) in January of 2007 and October of 2004, respectively. As a result of these acquisitions, the Corporation acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Both of these acquisitions were consolidated into the Bank along with the goodwill and other intangible assets. The Corporation identified a core deposit intangible of $6,863,000 and a borrower relationship intangible of $3,558,000 related to the acquisition of Fidelity. The Corporation identified a core deposit intangible of $929,000 and a borrower relationship intangible of $1,620,000 related to the acquisition of Washtenaw. These intangible assets were separated from goodwill. These assets are evaluated at least annually for impairment. The Corporation recorded amortization expense of $968,000, $1,328,000 and $250,000 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Goodwill amounted to $0 and $34,028,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, the significant decline in the market value of the Corporation’s stock below its book value and the decline in the economic environment in which the Corporation operates caused management to engage a third party business valuation specialist to perform the annual impairment test of goodwill and other intangible assets. The third party specialist used three methods of evaluation to determine the fair value of the reporting unit, Fidelity Bank. These methods considered the Bank’s discounted future earnings, the stock price of the Corporation and other comparable financial institutions and the equity values of other companies that have been sold. The value of each approach was weighted and an overall summary of the Bank’s fair value was calculated.
The step one impairment test indicated that the implied fair value of Fidelity Bank was well below the carrying amount as of December 31, 2008. Subsequently, management performed its own internal step two impairment testing by allocating the implied fair value of the Bank to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The implied fair value of the Bank was then compared to the actual carrying amount of goodwill. From this testing, management determined the carrying amount of goodwill exceeded in its entirety the implied fair value of goodwill.
Additionally, the Corporation recorded impairment expense of other intangible assets. The Corporation recorded impairment expense of the core deposit intangible in the amount of $2,991,000 and impairment expense of the customer relationship intangibles in the amount of $1,570,000 related to the acquisition of Fidelity. The Corporation also recorded impairment expense of the core deposit intangible in the amount of $806,000 and impairment expense of the customer relationship intangibles in the amount of $206,000 related to the acquisition of Washtenaw. The impairment to the core deposit intangibles was primarily due to the erosion of core deposits at a faster rate than anticipated and the transfer of core deposits to time deposits. The impairment of the customer relationship intangible is primarily due to the migration of loans at a more rapid rate than expected and the impact of current economic conditions on the loan portfolio. The impairment resulted in the establishment of a new carrying amount. Information concerning other intangible assets at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were as follows (in thousands):

The goodwill and other intangible assets acquired during 2004 and 2007 are being amortized over 15 years for tax purposes and are tax deductible, but the goodwill is not being amortized for book purposes. The impairment of goodwill and partial impairment of other intangible assets generated a deferred tax asset of $13,464,000 during 2008. During 2005, a deferred tax asset of $251,000 was generated on the capital loss that resulted from the sale of FHLMC preferred stock. The capital loss can be carried forward through 2010 to offset capital gain income. A valuation allowance against this tax deferred asset was assigned during 2007 for this item based on the likelihood that the capital loss carryforward will expire prior to its utilization.
The recoverability of the deferred tax asset, which is primarily due to the future deductability of goodwill, core deposit intangible and the allowance for loan losses, is contingent upon future book income. The Corporation believes that future income will support this deferred tax asset and believes that no valuation allowance is necessary.
There were no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2008, and the Corporation does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease in the next twelve months.
The Corporation is no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2007.

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently or fully. Security fair values are based on market prices or dealer quotes and, if no such information is available, on the rate and term of the security and information about the issuer. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values. Fair value of loans held for sale is based on market quotes. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is based on the current fees or cost that would be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements, and is not considered material to this presentation.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 has been applied prospectively as of the beginning of 2008.
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to our valuation hierarchy.
Securities available for sale
One component of the Corporation’s securities, available for sale are money market funds that are based on quoted prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The values of all other securities, available for sale are estimated by a third party using inputs that are observable or that can be corroborated by observable market data and, therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
The following table presents the fair value measurements of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying balance sheet measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the SFAS 157 fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

Following is a description of the valuation methodology for assets and liabilities measured at fair value and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet.
Impaired Loans
Loan impairment is reported when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impaired loans are carried at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate, or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to impaired loans if the value of such loans is deemed to be less than the unpaid balance. If these allocations cause the allowance for loan losses to increase, such increase is reported as a component of the provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of the loan is confirmed. During the year ended December 31, 2008, certain impaired loans were partially charged-off or re-evaluated. This valuation would be considered Level 3, consisting of appraisals of underlying collateral and discounted cash flow analysis.
The following table presents the fair value measurements of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying balance sheet measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and the level within the SFAS 157 fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

Loan Committments
Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collareral at exercise of the commitment.

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.

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. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

NOTE P — 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 814,449 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. No options are available for grant under this plan.
A summary of the option activity in the 1994 Plan follows:

At December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, 360,398, 453,682 and 468,423 options were exercisable at weighted average exercise prices of $8.65, $8.29 and $8.16 per share, respectively.
There were no options exercised during 2008. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were approximately $206,000 and $707,000, respectively. The options outstanding at December 31, 2008 had no intrinsic value.
During 2005, the Corporation initiated the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Under this plan, up to 347,248 shares may be granted to officers and employees of the Bank. This plan provides that stock awards may take the form of any combination of options, shares, share units or performance awards.
The administration of the plan, including the granting of awards and the nature of those awards, is determined by the Corporation’s Compensation Committee. The Corporation’s Board of Directors approved grants of performance-based stock options and restricted stock in 2005 and 2006. The Corporation’s Board of Directors approved grants of stock options and restricted stock without performance criteria in 2008. The awards have a term of ten years and typically vest fully three years from the grant date.
In the third quarter of 2007, the performance awards were modified because the original performance criteria and vesting requirements were no longer considered to be reasonable or attainable and the Corporation wanted to maintain more practical incentives for the award recipients. The cost recorded by the Corporation was adjusted during the third quarter of 2007 based on the modified fair value by reversing the expense recorded for the original awards and recognizing expense for the modified awards based on the vesting to date and the modified terms and performance targets.

NOTE T — SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES AND CONCENTRATIONS
Current Economic Conditions
The current economic environment presents financial institutions with unprecedented circumstances and challenges which in some cases have resulted in large declines in the fair values of investments and other assets, constraints on liquidity and significant credit quality problems, including severe volatility in the valuation of real estate and other collateral supporting loans. The financial statements have been prepared using values and information currently available to the Corporation.
The Corporation is further affected by the economic conditions specific to Southeastern Michigan due to the importance of the automobile industry to the local economy. While the Corporation does not have significant exposure to automobile manufacturers and suppliers, the downturn in the automotive industry has had an adverse effect of many of the Corporation’s borrowers and the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses.
Given the volatility of current economic conditions, the values of assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements could change rapidly, resulting in material future adjustments in asset values, the allowance for loan losses and capital which could negatively impact the Corporation’s ability to meet regulatory capital requirements and maintain sufficient liquidity.

NOTE U — RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Corporation’s allowance for loan losses contains certain assumptions on the value of collateral dependent loans as well as certain economic and industry conditions which may be subject to change within the next year. These changes could have an adverse impact on the allowance for loan losses in the near term.
NOTE V — SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In February 2009, the Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) voted to amend the restoration plan for the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF). The amended restoration plan extended the period of time to raise the DIF reserve ratio to 1.15 percent from five to seven years. The amended restoration plan also includes a final rule that sets assessment rates. Under this final rule, beginning on April 1, 2009 the Company expects the FDIC premium assessed to the Company to increase.
The Board of the FDIC also adopted an interim rule imposing a 20 basis point special assessment on insured institutions as of June 30, 2009 which will be payable on September 30, 2009. The interim rule would also allow the assessment of additional special assessments of up to 10 basis points after June 30, 2009 as deemed necessary. Comments on the interim rule are due within 30 days of publication in the Federal Register.
While the Company has not fully evaluated the impact the increased assessment rates and the pending special assessment will have on the 2009 financial results, it is anticipated the impact will be material to the 2009 results of operations.

AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Company Overview and Executive Summary
Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) was incorporated as a Michigan business corporation on September 30, 1992. The Corporation was formed to acquire all of the Bank’s issued and outstanding stock and to engage in the business of a bank holding corporation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “Act”).
Community Bank of Dearborn (the “Bank”), a Michigan banking corporation, commenced business on February 28, 1994 in Dearborn, Michigan. The Bank was renamed Fidelity Bank on April 30, 2007. The Bank is the only commercial bank headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan and offers a full line of loan and deposit products and services. The Bank offers excellent customer service to its loan and deposit customers and maintains strong relationships with the communities served by the Bank. The Bank emphasizes strong loan quality, excellent customer service and efficient operations in order to maximize profitability and shareholder value.
In 2004, the Corporation acquired the Bank of Washtenaw from Pavillion Bancorp. The Bank of Washtenaw’s three banking offices, all of which are located in Washtenaw County, Michigan were successfully consolidated into the Bank.
The Corporation completed the acquisition of Fidelity Financial Corporation of Michigan (Fidelity), a commercial bank with seven offices in Oakland County, Michigan on January 4, 2007. The acquisition significantly expanded the Bank’s presence in Oakland County, Michigan. Management believes that the acquisition has been beneficial to the Bank’s customers and the Corporation’s shareholders.
The Bank currently operates eighteen banking offices in Wayne, Macomb, Oakland and Washtenaw Counties, Michigan. A list of banking offices is shown on the following page.
The Corporation’s earnings depend primarily on net interest income. Management strives to maximize net interest income through monitoring the economic and competitive environment and making appropriate adjustments in the characteristics and pricing of our products and services.
Other factors that contribute significantly to our earnings are the maintenance of strong asset quality and efficient operations. Management continually monitors the quality of the loan portfolio and the impact of the economic and competitive environment and takes appropriate measures to maintain high asset quality.
The Bank’s market area consists primarily of the Metropolitan Detroit area. This is a large real estate market and the Bank’s loan portfolio accounts for less than one percent of this market. The Detroit real estate market has been negatively impacted by the unfavorable economic conditions in the State of Michigan. Despite the local economy and its impact on certain industries, many local industries and economies are prospering. The Bank has maintained asset quality in this environment by enforcing strong underwriting guidelines and utilizing a diligent loan review process. Despite these measures, the Bank has recorded charge-offs of certain loans, as the value of the underlying collateral of certain non-performing loans has continued to decline. Additionally, the carrying values of real estate owned properties have been adjusted appropriately, as the market value of the real estate has declined.
55
The Corporation recorded a net loss of ($31,925,000) during 2008, compared to net income of $3,166,000 during 2007. The factors that contributed primarily to the decline in earnings during 2008 were, the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, various costs related to the Bank’s non-performing assets such as provision for loan losses, the write-down and loss on sale of other real estate and defaulted loan expense and the decline in the Corporation’s net interest margin.
The most significant factor in the decline in earnings during 2008 was the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets recorded during the fourth quarter of 2008, which decreased net income by $26,100,000. This non-cash impairment expense was the result of the annual evaluation of the Corporation’s goodwill and other intangible assets.
Another significant factor in the decline in earnings during 2008 was the costs related to the Bank’s non-performing assets. The Corporation recorded provision for loan loss of $14,606,000 during 2008 compared to $5,821,000 during 2007. The provision for loan losses is determined by the internal analysis of the allowance for loan losses and the large increase during 2008 was the result of a higher level of non-performing loans and net charge-offs. Net charge-offs amounted to $10,771,000 during 2008 compared to $4,683,000 during 2007. The Corporation also recorded $3,037,000 for the write-down and loss on sale of other real estate in 2008 compared to $727,000 during 2007. The Corporation also recorded defaulted loan expense of $2,078,000 during 2008 compared to $685,000 during 2007.
Income during 2008 was also impacted by a compression in the Corporation’s net interest margin compared with 2007. This was the result of the increase in non-performing loans, the decline in short term interest rates during the fourth quarter of 2008 and competitive pricing pressure affecting loan and deposit generation.

Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and about the Corporation and Bank. Words such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “expects”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “is likely”, “plans”, “projects”, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward- looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions (“Future Factors”) that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events (whether anticipated or unanticipated), or otherwise.
Future Factors include changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in banking regulation; changes in tax laws; changes in prices, levies and assessments; the impact of technological advances; governmental and regulatory policy changes; the outcomes of contingencies; trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay loans; and changes in the national and local economy. These are representative of the Future Factors that could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, as well as disclosures found elsewhere in the annual report, are based upon the consolidated financial statements of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc., which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. Management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is an estimate based primarily on reviews of individual loans, assessments of the impact of current economic conditions on the portfolio, and historical loss experience. See Note D of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the discussion of “Allowance for Loan Losses” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Management believes the accounting estimates related to the allowance for loan losses is a “critical accounting estimate” because:
1) | The estimates are highly susceptible to change from period to period and require management to make judgements concerning the quality of the loan portfolio and the impact of current economic conditions on borrowers’ ability to repay their loans. | ||
2) | The impact of recognizing an impairment or loan loss could have a material effect on the financial statements of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. |
Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the audit committee of the board of directors and the audit committee has reviewed the Corporation’s disclosures related to them in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates (continued)
Goodwill
The valuation of goodwill has been analyzed by management on a periodic basis and analyzed by an independent consultant at least annually. In this process, estimates and judgment are utilized in the projection of future earnings and in the weighting of the components of the valuation of the Bank. Management believes that the accounting estimates used in determining future earnings is a critical accounting estimate because these estimates are based on various factors that are difficult to predict including future economic conditions, the demand for loans and deposits in our markets and fluctuation of interest rates. Judgment is also utilized in the application of factors to the various methods used in determining the value of the reporting unit. The development and assignment of these factors have a significant impact on the final valuation of the reporting unit.
Deferred Tax Asset
The increase in the deferred tax asset is the result of the impairment charge on goodwill and other intangibles assets that was recorded during 2008. In order to record this deferred tax asset, the Corporation must be able to utilize this asset with five years. Management has projected that the Corporation will have sufficient pre-tax earnings during the next five years. This projection utilized various estimates that will impact the Corporation’s earnings during this period. Management believes that the accounting estimates used in determining future earnings is a critical accounting estimate because these estimates are based on various factors that are difficult to predict including future economic conditions, the demand for loans and deposits in our markets and fluctuation of interest rates.
Results of Operations
2008 Compared to 2007.The Corporation reported a net loss of ($31,925,000) in 2008 compared to net income of $3,166,000 in 2007, a decrease of $35,091,000. The Corporation’s decline in net income was primarily due to a non cash impairment charge for the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets. If the after-tax impact of this impairment charge is excluded, the Corporation’s net loss would be ($5,788,000), compared to net income of $3,166,000 in 2007, a decrease of $8,954,000 or 283%. The decrease in net income excluding the impairment charge is primarily due to the costs related to the Bank’s non-performing assets. The Corporation recorded provision for loan losses of $14,606,000 during 2008 compared to $5,821,000 during 2007. The provision for loan losses is determined by the internal analysis of the allowance for loan losses and the large increase during 2008 was the result of a higher level of non-performing loans and net charge-offs. Net charge-offs amounted to $10,771,000 during 2008 compared to $4,683,000 during 2007. The Corporation also recorded $3,037,000 for the write-down and loss on sale of other real estate in 2008 compared to $727,000 during 2007. The Corporation also recorded defaulted loan expense of $2,078,000 during 2008 compared to $685,000 during 2007.
Income during 2008 was also impacted by a compression in the Corporation’s net interest margin compared with 2007. This was the result of the increase in non-performing loans, the decline in short term interest rates during the fourth quarter of 2008 and competitive pricing pressure affecting loan and deposit generation.
2007 Compared to 2006.The Corporation reported net income of $3,166,000 in 2007 compared to $7,819,000 in 2006, a decrease of $4,653,000 or 60%. The Corporation’s decline in net income was primarily due to an increase in provision for loan losses and defaulted loan expense and the write-down of real estate owned. The Corporation’s net interest margin also decreased due to increasing deposit costs and an increase in non-performing loans..
59
Net Interest Income
2008 Compared to 2007.Net interest income in 2008 was $32,131,000 compared to $33,619,000 in 2007, a decrease of $1,488,000 or 4%. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to the decline in interest rates during 2008 and the volume of assets and liabilities affected by the decline in rates. As the Corporation has interest sensitive assets and liabilities of $975,337,000 and $834,731,000, respectively, the decline in interest rates causes a decrease in net interest income. The Corporation’s net interest rate spread increased to 2.80% in 2008 from 2.73% in 2007, an increase of 7 basis points. However, the Corporation’s net interest margin decreased to 3.29% in 2008 from 3.48% in 2007, a decrease of 19 basis points. The increase in the net interest rate spread was due to the decline in interest rates on the Corporation’s interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Average interest earning assets grew by $9.6 million between the periods while interest bearing liabilities grew by $28.3 million. While management is continually reviewing spreads and margins, future increases in the net interest margin are primarily expected from the diversification of the Bank’s deposit structure. Management expects to decrease time deposits as a percentage of deposits.
2007 Compared to 2006.Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $33,619,000 compared to $28,002,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $5,617,000 or 20%. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to the acquisition of Fidelity. The Corporation’s net interest rate spread decreased to 2.73% in 2007 from 3.08% in 2006, a decrease of 34 basis points. The decrease in the net interest rate spread was due to liability costs increasing faster than asset yields. The Corporation’s net interest margin decreased to 3.48% in 2007 from 3.80% in 2006. The decrease in the net interest spread and net interest margin was due to increasing liability costs and decreasing asset yields. The decrease in asset yields was primarily due to the increase in non-performing loans.
Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields.Net interest income is affected by the difference (“interest rate spread”) between rates of interest earned on interest earning assets and rates of interest paid on interest bearing liabilities and the relative amounts of interest bearing liabilities and interest earning assets. When the total of interest earning assets approximates or exceeds the total of interest bearing liabilities, any positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income. Financial institutions have traditionally used interest rate spreads as a measure of net interest income. Another indication of an institution’s net interest income is its “net yield on interest earning assets” or “net interest margin,” which is net interest income divided by average interest earning assets.
The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Corporation’s consolidated average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. During the periods indicated, non-accruing loans, if any, are included in the net loan category.

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

Provision for Loan Losses
2008 Compared to 2007.The provision for loan losses was $14,606,000 in 2008, compared to $5,821,000 in 2007, an increase of $8,785,000 or 151%. The increase in provision during 2008 was due primarily to the increase in non-accrual loans and net charge-offs during the period as a result of the downturn in economic activity that began in 2007 and has continued into 2008. This downturn in economic activity has continued to worsen the condition of the residential real estate market during 2008 as well as to significantly impact the Bank’s commercial and commercial real estate mortgage portfolios. Non-accrual loans increased to $51,708,000 at December 31, 2008 from $18,117,000 at December 31, 2007. During 2008, the Bank recorded net charge-offs of $10,771,000 compared to $4,683,000 during 2007. The poor economic conditions in Southeastern Michigan that began in 2007 and have intensified during 2008 have significantly impacted our commercial, commercial real estate mortgage and land development portfolios. At the time of origination, these land development loans were well-collateralized loans with well-established real estate developers and home builders. However, the underlying value of our collateral related to these types of loans has declined as the demand for new residential construction in Southeastern Michigan has diminished dramatically.
The fair value of loans specifically reviewed by management and determined to be impaired increased to $41,907,000 at December 31, 2008 from $9,937,000 at December 31, 2007. The allocated allowance of loans specifically reviewed by management and determined to be impaired increased to $5,273,000 at December 31, 2008 from $879,000 at December 31, 2007. Decreases in the fair value of impaired loans are reflected in the provision for loan loss and are primarily due to declines in the value of the underlying collateral.
The provision for loan losses 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, the relevant change in the size and mix of the loan portfolio and the impact of current economic conditions on borrowers’ ability to repay their loans.
2007 Compared to 2006.The provision for loan losses was $5,821,000 in 2007, compared to $943,000 in 2006, an increase of $4,878,000 or 517%. The increase in provision during 2007 was due primarily to the increase in non-accrual loans and net charge-offs during the period as a result of the collapse of the residential real estate market in Southeastern Michigan. Non-accrual loans increased to $18,117,000 at December 31, 2007 from $5,560,000 at December 31, 2006. During 2007, the Bank recorded net charge-offs of $4,683,000 compared to net recoveries of $24,000 during 2006. These economic conditions have impacted our portfolio of land development and commercial construction loans and is the primary cause of the increase in non-performing loans. At the time of origination, these loans were well-collateralized loans with well-established real estate developers and home builders. However, the underlying value of our collateral related to these types of loans has declined as the demand for new residential construction in Southeastern Michigan has diminished dramatically.
Non-Interest Income
2008 Compared to 2007.Non-interest income was ($930,000) in 2008, compared to $1,020,000 in 2007, a decrease of $1,950,000 or 191%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the write-down and loss on sale of real estate owned. During 2008, the Corporation recorded write-downs to eleven properties in the amount of $2,292,000. The Corporation recorded a net loss of $745,000 on the sale of fifteen properties during 2008. Service charges and other fees to customers were $1,760,000 in 2008 compared to $1,408,000 in 2007, an increase of $352,000 or 25%.
2007 Compared to 2006.Non-interest income was $1,020,000 in 2007, compared to $925,000 in 2006, an increase of $95,000 or 10%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in service charges and fees to customers as a result of the acquisition of Fidelity. Service charges and other fees to customers were $1,408,000 in 2007 compared to $747,000 in 2006, an increase of $661,000 or 88%. This increase was substantially offset by the write-down of real estate owned. During 2007, the Bank wrote down the value of an industrial building and a development with 11 residential building lots by $701,000.
64
Non-Interest Expense
2008 Compared to 2007.Non-interest expense was $65,007,000 in 2008 compared to $23,796,000 in 2007, an increase of $41,211,000 or 173%. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets. This non-cash expense was due to the evaluation of the Bank’s goodwill and intangible assets as of December 31, 2008. This valuation determined that the Bank’s goodwill and intangible assets were impaired by $34,028,000 and $5,573,000, respectively.
When the non-cash impairment charge is excluded, non-interest expense was $25,406,000 compared to $23,796,000 in 2007, an increase of $1,610,000 or 7%. This increase during 2008 is primarily due to the increase in defaulted loan expense, which is primarily comprised of real estate taxes, legal expense, insurance expense and maintenance expense related to real estate owned and non-performing loans. Defaulted loan expense for 2008 was $2,078,000 compared to $685,000 during 2007, an increase of $1,393,000 or 204%.
The largest component of the increase in non-interest expense was salaries and employee benefits which amounted to $13,142,000 in 2008 compared to $13,109,000 in 2007, an increase of $33,000. As of December 31, 2008, the number of full time equivalent employees was 205 compared to 210 as of December 31, 2007. The second largest component of the increase in non-interest expense was occupancy and equipment expense which amounted to $3,752,000 in 2008 compared to $3,663,000 in 2007, an increase of $89,000 or 2%.
2007 Compared to 2006.Non-interest expense was $23,796,000 in 2007 compared to $16,225,000 in 2006, an increase of $7,571,000 or 47%. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to the acquisition of Fidelity. The largest component of the increase in non-interest expense was salaries and employee benefits which amounted to $13,109,000 in 2007 compared to $10,288,000 in 2006, an increase of $2,821,000 or 27%. As of December 31, 2007, the number of full time equivalent employees was 210 compared to 157 as of December 31, 2006. The second largest component of the increase in non-interest expense was occupancy and equipment expense which amounted to $3,663,000 in 2007 compared to $2,420,000 in 2006, an increase of $1,243,000 or 51%. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense is the result of the addition of six branch offices from the acquisition of Fidelity and the opening of a branch office in Shelby Township, Michigan.
Income Tax Provision
2008 Compared to 2007.Income tax expense (benefit) was ($16,487,000) in 2008 compared to $1,856,000 in 2007, a decrease of $18,343,000. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in income before federal income tax. Refer to Note L of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
2007 Compared to 2006.Income tax expense was $1,856,000 in 2007 compared to $3,940,000 in 2006, a decrease of $2,084,000 or 53%. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in income before federal income tax and the expiration of a loss carry forward. The effective tax rate increased to 37% in 2007 from 33.5% in 2006 due primarily to the expiration of a loss carryforward.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007
Assets.Total assets at December 31, 2008 were $1,121,918,000 compared to $1,046,981,000 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $74,937,000 or 7%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in funds from deposits and other assets, partially offset by decreases in loans, goodwill and other intangible assets. The increase in other assets and the decrease in goodwill and other intangible assets are related to the impairment charge on goodwill and other intangible assets and the related increase in deferred tax assets.
Securities Available for Sale.Total securities available for sale, at December 31, 2008 were $84,148,000 compared to $8,902,000 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $75,246,000 or 845%. The increase was primarily due to funds received from deposits which were deployed into short-term investments. The Bank’s portfolio of securities available for sale has an amortized cost and a fair value of $84.1 million. The securities at December 31, 2008 are as follows (in thousands):

The decrease in loans during 2008 was primarily due to net charge-offs of $10,771,000 and declining loan demand.
The Bank expects the percentage of total commercial loans to increase as a percentage of the loan portfolio in 2009. These types of loans carry a relatively large average balance, produce more cross-selling opportunities and are typically well secured by real estate. The Bank believes that the higher level of risk that is also inherent with these types of loans is offset by the Bank’s high standards for credit quality and well-seasoned group of commercial lenders.

Variable rate loans comprise 23% 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.
The Bank automatically places any loan that has been partially charged-off and most consumer loan borrowers in bankruptcy proceedings on non-accrual. The 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. Refer to Note D of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Non-performing loans included troubled debt restructuring of $17,765,000 at December 31, 2008. These loans were qualified as troubled debt restructuring due to changes from principal and interest payments to interest only payments, restructuring of collateral, or renewals of interest reserves when current loan to value ratios were outside of our normal loan policy. In all cases, no additional valuation allowances were recorded against the loans since all of the modifications related to terms other than interest rates or principal balances. All of these loans are current according to their renegotiated terms.
Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2008 were $51,708,000. The increase in non-accrual loans during the year ended December 31, 2008 is primarily due to the downgrading of 109 loans with a balance of $46,110,000 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 $4,545,000 at December 31, 2008. Charge-offs in the amount of $6,277,000 were recorded on these loans by the Corporation during 2008. 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. The distribution of loans downgraded to non-accrual status during 2008 (dollars, in thousands) is as follows:

The increase in non-performing loans is primarily related to the Bank’s commercial and commercial real estate loans as well as loans financing the development and construction of residential property. The decline of general economic conditions in Southeastern Michigan which began in 2007 and has continued throughout 2008 has negatively impacted many or the Bank’s commercial borrowers. The collapse of the value of the residential real estate market in Southeastern Michigan has negatively impacted the underlying collateral value of our portfolio of land development and construction loans. At the time of origination, these loans were well-collateralized loans with well-established real estate developers and home builders. However, the underlying value of our collateral related to these types of loans has declined as the demand for new residential construction in Southeastern Michigan has diminished dramatically and the adverse impact on our loan portfolio is expected to continue.

Allowance for Loan Losses.The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2008 was $14,452,000 compared to $10,617,000 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $3,835,000 or 36%. The large increase in provision for loan losses during 2008 was primarily the result of net charge-offs and more problem loans during the year. Net charge-offs amounted to $10,771,000 during 2008. These charge-offs are primarily related to the Bank’s commercial and commercial real estate loans as well as loans financing the development and construction of residential property. The decline of general economic conditions in Southeastern Michigan which began in 2007 and has continued throughout 2008 has negatively impacted many or the Bank’s commercial borrowers. The collapse of the value of the residential real estate market in Southeastern Michigan has negatively impacted the underlying collateral value of our portfolio of land development and construction loans. This downturn in the residential real estate market is expected to continue and management expects the decline in the market value of our collateral to continue. The allowance for loan losses was based upon management’s assessment of relevant factors, including specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, loan growth, types and amounts of non-performing loans, historical and anticipated loss experience on such types of loans, and current economic conditions.

The increase in the allocation of the allowance for loan losses to land development loans-residential and commercial construction loans-residential at December 31, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007 and 2006 is primarily due to our impairment evaluation of the non-accrual loans discussed earlier.
71
Premises and Equipment.Premises and equipment at December 31, 2008 were $21,272,000 compared to $22,782,000 at December 31, 2007, a decrease of $1,510,000 or 7%. The decrease was primarily due to the transfer of an office building to other assets as it is currently not being utilized by the Bank and is currently being marketed for sale.
Real Estate Owned.Real estate owned at December 31, 2008 was $9,657,000, compared to $6,319,000 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $3,338,000 or 53%. Real estate owned at December 31, 2008 is comprised of thirty-six properties with an aggregate appraised value of $12,753,000. The Bank expects real estate owned to increase during 2009 based on the increase in non-accrual loans during 2008. During 2008, the Corporation recorded loss on the sale of real estate of $745,000 and write-downs in the value of real estate in the amount of $2,292,000 to address the decline in property values after the Bank took ownership of real estate.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.Goodwill and other intangible assets were $4,592,000 at December 31, 2008, compared to $45,161,000 at December 31, 2007, an decrease of $40,569,000 or 90%. The decrease was due to the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets. The Bank has intangible assets for the estimated value of core deposit accounts and borrower relationships acquired in the acquisition of Fidelity Bank and the Bank of Washtenaw. Both of these acquisitions were consolidated into the Bank along with the goodwill and other intangible assets. The intangible values represent the present value of the net revenue streams attributable to these intangibles. These intangible assets were analyzed and re-valued as December 31, 2008. The Corporation recorded impairment expense related to the core deposit intangible in the amount of $2,991,000. The core deposit intangible was valued at $2,757,000 and is being amortized over a period of eleven years. The Corporation recorded impairment expense related to the borrower relationship intangible in the amount of $1,570,000. The borrower relationship intangible was valued to $1,835,000 and is being amortized over a period of ten years. The impairment to the core deposit intangibles was primarily due to the erosion of core deposits at a faster rate than anticipated and the transfer of core deposits to time deposits. The impairment of the customer relationship intangible is primarily due to the migration of loans at a more rapid rate than expected and the impact of current economic conditions on the loan portfolio.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the significant decline in the market value of the Corporation’s stock below its book value and the decline in the economic environment in which the Corporation operates caused management to engage a third party business valuation specialist to perform the annual impairment test of goodwill and other intangible assets. The third party specialist used three methods of evaluation to determine the fair value of the reporting unit, Fidelity Bank. These methods considered the Bank’s discounted future earnings, the stock price of the Corporation and other comparable financial institutions and the equity values of other companies that have been sold. The value of each approach was weighted and an overall summary of the Bank’s fair value was calculated.
72
The step one impairment test indicated that the fair value of Fidelity Bank was well below the carrying amount as of December 31, 2008. Management then performed its own internal step two impairment testing by allocating the calculated fair value of the Bank to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit to determine the implied fair value of the Bank. The implied fair value of the Bank was then compared to the actual carrying amount of goodwill. From this testing, management determined the carrying amount of goodwill exceeded in its entirety the implied fair value of goodwill. As a result, the Corporation recorded goodwill impairment expense of $34,028,000 as of December 31, 2008.
The stock price of the comparable financial institutions and the equity values of the companies that have been recently sold have been negatively impacted by the current economic environment.
Accrued Interest Receivable.Accrued interest receivable at December 31, 2008 was $3,499,000 compared to $3,816,000 at December 31, 2007, a decrease of $317,000 or 8%. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in interest rates during 2008.
Other Assets. Other assets at December 31, 2008 were $21,483,000 compared to $5,664,000 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $15,819,000 or 279%. The increase was largely due to an increase in the Corporation’s deferred tax asset as a result of the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets.
Deposits.Total deposits at December 31, 2008 were $938,395,000 compared to $822,627,000 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $115,768,000 or 14%. The components of the outstanding balances and percentage increase in deposits from 2006 to 2007 are as follows (in thousands):

The increase in deposits was primarily due to the introduction of a premium checking product, continued growth in two other core deposit products, several time deposit account promotions and the Bank’s participation in a wholesale money market program. As a result of deposit activity during 2008, the Bank increased demand, money market and savings accounts as a percentage of total deposits. The Bank completed an annual customer appreciation promotion in April 2008. Management developed these campaigns to increase liquidity and name awareness.
The Bank’s primary source of funds are retail deposits. The Bank also utilizes public funds in the form of time deposits, $100,000 and over and brokered deposits as sources of funds. In order to coordinate and manage these efforts, the Bank has also designated a public funds officer. Public funds at December 31, 2008 were $44.2 million compared to $111.4 million at December 31, 2007. There were 33 and 36 entities with public funds on deposit at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The average term of time deposits invested with the Bank by public units was 129 and 138 days at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Brokered deposits were $97.1 million with an average rate of 3.48% at December 31, 2008, compared to $32.8 million with an average rate of 4.89% at December 31, 2007.

The Bank continues a strategy of shifting maturing time deposits into other savings products.
Federal Funds Purchased. Federal funds purchased were $0 at December 31, 2008 compared to $30,100,000 at December 31, 2007. Federal funds purchased are utilized as a short term funding source for the Bank.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. Federal Home Loan Bank advances at December 31, 2008 were $65,019,000 compared to $41,370,000 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $23,649,000 or 57%. Additional advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank were utilized during 2008 in order to decrease the Bank’s cost of funds. Management expects the amount of advances to decrease in 2009.
In 1999, the Bank joined the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. Membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank provides the 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 J of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Other Borrowings.Other borrowings were $2,461,000 at December 31, 2008 compared to $480,000 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $1,981,000 or 413%. These borrowings are comprised of several repurchase agreements that are secured by securities held by the Bank.
Accrued Interest Payable. Accrued interest payable at December 31, 2008 was $1,695,000 compared to $3,168,000 at December 31, 2007, a decrease of $1,473,000 or 46%. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in interest rates paid on deposits..
Other Liabilities.Other liabilities were $1,037,000 at December 31, 2008 compared to $1,688,000 at December 31, 2007, a decrease of $651,000 or 39%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in accrued expenses.
Subordinated Debentures.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. Please refer to Note K of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Capital
Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2008 was $103,311,000 compared to $137,548,000 as of December 31, 2007, a decrease of $34,237,000 or 25%. The decrease was primarily due the net loss during 2008 in addition to the repurchase of outstanding common shares under a stock repurchase program. During 2008, the Corporation repurchased 575,500 common shares at an average price of $4.56 per share.
At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Bank and Corporation exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements as described in Note O of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Market Risk Analysis
The Corporation’s 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. The Corporation has no agricultural-related loan assets and therefore has no significant exposure to changes in commodity prices. Any impact that changes in 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 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 of the Corporation 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 shareholder 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.Evaluating the exposure to changes in interest rates includes assessing both the adequacy of the process used to control interest rate risk and the quantitative level of exposure. The Corporation’s interest rate risk management process seeks to ensure that appropriate policies, procedures, management information systems and internal controls are in place to maintain interest rate risk at prudent levels with consistency and continuity. In evaluating the quantitative level of interest rate risk, we assess the existing and potential future effects of changes in interest rates on our financial position, including capital adequacy, earnings, liquidity and asset quality.
The Corporation primarily uses two interest rate risk measurement techniques. The first, which is commonly referred to as GAP analysis, measures the difference between the dollars amounts of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities that will be repriced or mature during a given time period. The Corporation has sought to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates by matching more closely the effective maturities or repricing characteristics of the Corporation’s interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The matching of the assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which the assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive and by monitoring the expected effects of interest rate changes on net interest income. An asset or liability is interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. If the Corporation’s assets mature or reprice more quickly or to a greater extent than its liabilities, the Corporation’s net portfolio value and net interest income would tend to increase during periods of rising interest rates but decrease during periods of falling interest rates. If the Corporation’s assets mature or reprice more slowly or to a lesser extent than its liabilities, its net portfolio value and net interest income would tend to decrease during periods of rising interest rates but increase during periods of falling interest rates.
Different types of assets and liabilities with the same or similar maturities may react differently to changes in overall market rates or conditions, and thus changes in interest rates may affect net interest income positively or negatively even if an institution were perfectly matched in each maturity category. Additionally, the gap analysis does not consider the many factors as banking interest rates move. While the interest rate sensitivity gap is a useful measurement and contributes toward effective asset and liability management, it is difficult to predict the effect of changing interest rates solely on that measure, without accounting for alterations in the maturity or repricing characteristics of the balance sheet that occur during changes in market interest rates. During periods of rising interest rates, the Corporation’s assets tend to have prepayments that are slower than expected and would tend to increase the negative gap position. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, the Corporation’s assets would tend to prepay faster than originally expected thus decreasing the negative gap position. In addition, some of the Corporation’s assets, such as adjustable rate mortgages, have caps on the amount by which their interest rates can change in any single period, and therefore may not reprice as quickly as liabilities in the same maturity category.

The following table sets forth the amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities outstanding at December 31, 2008 which are expected to mature or reprice in each of the time periods shown below.

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 simulation model assesses the directions and magnitude of variations in net interest income resulting from potential changes in market interest rates. This model would normally display the impact of identical movements in either direction. However, the potential downward movement in the prime interest rate is limited due to the current level of of that interest rate. The maximum movement of that interest rate would be 100 basis points. Key assumptions in the model include prepayment speeds on various loan and investment assets; cash flows and maturities of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities; the variability of interest rate sensitivity of assets and liabilities; and changes in market conditions impacting loan and deposit volume and pricing. These assumption 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 interest 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 December 31, 2008, 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):
Change in Net Interest Income | ||||||||

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.
The Corporation’s primary source of liquidity is its deposit base, raised through its retail branch system along with its unpledged securities, available for sale and overnight deposits with other banks. The Bank also has other wholesale sources of funds including brokered deposits, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis and borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank.
Management evaluates the liquidity position of the Bank on a daily basis and makes appropriate decisions as to the utilizations of the Bank’s sources of funds and the deployment of excess cash. The Bank’s Deposit Pricing Committee is a sub-committee of the Bank’s Asset and Liability Committee and meets at least weekly. This Committee is comprised of the Chief Financial Officer, Controller, Head of Retail and Chief Deposit Officer. This Committee reviews the Bank’s available cash, available sources of funds, projected deposit maturity schedule and interest rates. This committee makes and enacts decisions regarding all aspects of the Bank’s deposits including the level of interest rates and was formed in order to react more quickly to the rapidly changing liquidity needs of the Bank.
Certain credit markets that the Corporation participated in previously and utilized as a primary source of funds became significantly disrupted and volatile since July 2008 and are no longer relied upon by management. As a result, the Bank has increased its level of deposits and investment securities that can be pledged as collateral.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Corporation’s operations. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of the Corporation are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction, or to the same extent, as the prices of goods and services.

CUMULATIVE STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH

This return is compared in the table and graph with the cumulative return over the same period with the following two indices: (i) the All U.S. Nasdaq Index and (ii) the Nasdaq Bank Index. The graph and table were prepared assuming that $100 was invested on December 31, 2002 in the Common Stock and in each of the indices. Cumulative total return on the Common Stock or the two indices equals the total increase (decrease) in value since December 31, 2002.
