(the "Corporation") include the consolidation of its only subsidiary, Community Bank of Dearborn (the "Bank"). The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and conform to practice within the banking industry. The unaudited financial statements of the Corporation for the three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim period. The operating results for the quarter are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the entire year. The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Corporation, without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereon included in the Corporation's 1997 Annual Report to Stockholders. B. Adoption of New Accounting Standards On January 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Statement No. 130, "Reporting of Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expense, gains, and losses) in a full set of financial statements.

FORM 10-Q (continued) PART 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION - -------------------------------- ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION The following discussion and analysis are intended to address significant factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation. The discussion provides a more comprehensive review of the financial position and operating results than can be obtained from a reading of the financial statements and footnotes presented elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to the Act's safe harbor provisions. These statements are based on current expectations and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Active results could differ materially and adversely from those described in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors outside the control of the Corporation, including but not limited to the following: the risk of non-payment of loans, changes in prevailing economic conditions causing declines in real estate market values, rapid changes in interest rates and the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, and strong competition for deposits, loans and other financial services from competitors. General The Corporation was formed in 1992 and the Bank was formed in 1993. Principal operations of the Bank commenced on February 28, 1994 when the Bank opened for business at its main office, located at 22290 Michigan Avenue, Dearborn, Michigan. On December 20, 1995, the Bank opened its second office, located at 24935 West Warren Avenue, Dearborn Heights, Michigan. On August 11, 1997, the Bank opened its third office, located at 44623 Five Mile Road, Plymouth Township, Michigan. 8 Results of Operations The Corporation reported net income of $175,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 compared to net income of $113,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997. The improvement was primarily a factor of growth in the volume of investments, loans and deposits and the corresponding net interest income associated with the increased volumes. Net Interest Income 1998 Compared to 1997. Net interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 was $707,000 compared to $534,000 for the same period ended March 31, 1997, an increase of $173,000 or 32%. This increase was caused primarily by an increase in average earning assets of $29.5 million between the periods while interest-bearing liabilities grew by $27.0 million. At the same time the Corporation's interest rate spread decreased to 2.43% in 1998 from 2.76% in 1997. The Corporation's net interest margin also decreased in 1998 to 3.33% from 3.85% in 1997. However, the decreases in net interest spread and net interest margin were offset by increases in the volume of net earning assets. The Corporation's decrease in interest rate spread and net interest margin was a direct result of aggressive time deposit gathering at premium rates and the direct reinvestment of those funds into investment securities with similar interest rates until the funds could be redeployed into quality loans with higher yields. 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. 9 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.

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. 1998/1997 Change in Interest Due to: ------------------------------------ Average Average Net (In thousands) Balance Rate Change ------- ------- ------- Assets Federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits with banks $ 90 $--- $ 90 Investment securities - available for sale 132 14 146 Loans 333 3 336 ----- ----- ----- Total earning assets $ 555 $ 17 $ 572 ===== ===== ===== Liabilities Interest bearing deposits $ 373 $ 25 $ 398 Other borrowings 1 -- 1 ----- ----- ----- Total interest bearing liabilities $ 374 $ 25 $ 399 ===== ===== ===== Net interest income $ 173 ===== Net interest rate spread (0.33%) ===== Net interest margin on earning assets (0.52%) ===== Provision for Possible Credit Losses 1998 Compared to 1997. The provision for possible credit losses was $22,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 compared to $39,000 for the same period in 1997. The provision for possible credit losses was based upon management's assessment of relevant factors, including types and amounts of non-performing loans, historical and anticipated loss experience on such types of loans, and current and projected economic conditions. 11 Non-interest Income 1998 Compared to 1997. Non-interest income was $81,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 compared to $72,000 for the same period in 1997, an increase of $9,000 or 13%. This increase was primarily due to gains recognized on the sale of investment securities. Non-interest Expense 1998 Compared to 1997. Non-interest expense was $641,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 compared to $479,000 for the same period in 1997, an increase of $162,000 or 34%. The largest components of non-interest expense were salaries and employee benefits which amounted to $362,000 and occupancy and equipment expense which amounted to $96,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1998. For the same period in 1997, salaries and employee benefits and occupancy and equipment expense were $281,000 and $51,000, respectively. The primary factor for these increases was the opening of the Bank's office in Plymouth Township in August 1997. As of March 31, 1998, the number of full time equivalent employees was 30 as compared to 25 as of March 31, 1997. Income Tax Benefit 1998 Compared to 1997. The income tax benefit was $50,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 compared to $25,000 for the same period in 1997, an increase of $25,000 or 100%. The increase was due to the change in the valuation allowance against a deferred tax asset related to net operating loss carryforwards. Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997 Assets. Total assets at March 31, 1998 were $105.0 million compared to $65.1 million at March 31, 1997, an increase of $39.9 million or 61%. The increase was primarily due to increases in federal funds sold, investment securities - available for sale and loans. Federal Funds Sold. Total federal funds sold at March 31, 1998 were $16.2 million compared to $1.6 million at March 31, 1997, an increase of $14.6 million or 913%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in deposits. Investment Securities - Available for Sale. Total investment securities - available for sale, at March 31, 1998 were $28.3 million compared to $19.4 million at March 31, 1997, an increase of $8.9 million or 46%. An increase in deposits has enabled the Corporation to invest in investment securities - available for sale until such time as quality loan opportunities become available. All securities within the Corporation's portfolio are U.S. treasury issues, U.S. government sponsored agency issues or corporate debt securities carrying AAA ratings. The Corporation does not hold any securities in the "Held to Maturity" category nor does the Corporation hold or utilize derivatives. 12 The amortized cost and estimated market value of investments in debt securities available for sale are as follows (in thousands): March 31, 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------ Gross Gross Estimated Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Market Cost Gains Losses Value --------- ---------- ---------- -------- US Treasury securities $ 2,001 $4 $ -- $ 2,005 US Government agency securities 21,497 1 (69) 21,429 Corporate debt securities 4,900 -- -- 4,900 ------- -- ---- ------- Totals $28,398 $5 $ (69) $28,334 ======= == ==== ======= March 31, 1997 ---------------------------------------------------------- Gross Gross Estimated Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Market Cost Gains Losses Value --------- ---------- ---------- -------- US Treasury securities $ 3,001 $ -- $ (29) $ 2,972 US Government agency securities 16,503 1 (87) 16,417 Corporate debt securities -- -- -- -- ------- ---- -------- --------- Totals $19,504 $ 1 $ (116) $ 19,389 ======= ==== ======= ========= Loans.

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 includes federal funds sold, securities available for sale, loan repayments, core deposits and a federal funds purchase credit facility. 16 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 asset and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which the assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive and by monitoring the expected effects of interest rate changes on net interest income. An asset or liability is interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. If the Corporation's assets mature or reprice more quickly or to a greater extent that its liabilities, the Corporation's net portfolio value and net interest income would tend to increase during periods of rising interest rates but decrease during periods of falling interest rates. If the Corporation's assets mature or reprice more slowly or to a lesser extent than its liabilities, its net portfolio value and net interest income would tend to decrease during periods of rising interest rates but increase during periods of falling interest rates. Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by monitoring an institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap." An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific period if it will mature or reprice within that period. The interest rate sensitivity "gap" is the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities, and is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceed the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would be expected to adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap would be expected to result in an increase in net interest income, while conversely during a period of declining interest rates, a negative gap would be expected to result in an increase in net interest income and a positive gap would be expected to adversely affect net interest income. Different types of assets and liabilities with the same or similar maturities may react differently to changes in overall market rates or conditions, and thus changes in interest rates may affect net interest income positively or negatively even if an institution were perfectly matched in each maturity category. Additionally, the gap analysis does not consider the many factors as banking interest rates move. While the interest rate sensitivity gap is a useful measurement and contributes toward effective asset and liability management, it is difficult to predict the effect of changing interest rates solely on that measure, without accounting for alterations in the maturity or repricing characteristics of the balance sheet that occur during changes in market interest rates. During periods of rising interest rates, the Corporation's assets tend to have prepayments that are slower than those in an interest rate sensitivity gap and would increase the negative gap position. Conversely, during a period of 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. 17 The following table set forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at March 31, 1998 which are expected to mature or reprice in each of the time periods shown (in thousands): Interest Rate Sensitivity Period ------------------------------------------------------ 1-90 91-365 1-5 Over Days Days Years 5 Years Total -------- ------- ------ -------- ----- Earning assets Federal funds sold $ 16,239 $ -- $ -- $ -- $ 16,239 Mortgage loans held for sale 1,448 -- -- -- 1,448 Securities available for sale 4,900 1,002 22,432 -- 28,334 Total loans, net of non-accrual 11,854 7,211 33,717 1,368 54,150 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total earning assets 34,441 8,213 56,149 1,368 100,171 Interest bearing liabilities Total interest bearing deposits 15,145 49,914 17,709 -- 82,768 Mortgage payable -- -- -- 532 532 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total interest bearing liabilities 15,145 49,914 17,709 532 83,300 Net asset (liability) funding gap 19,296 (41,701) 38,440 836 $ 16,871 -------- -------- -------- -------- ======== Cumulative net asset (liability) funding gap $ 19,296 $(22,405) $ 16,035 $ 16,871 ======== ======== ======== ======== Year 2000 Problem The Corporation is aware of the current concerns throughout the business community of reliance upon computer software programs that do not properly recognize the year 2000 in date formats, often referred to as the "Year 2000 Problem." The Year 2000 Problem is the result of software being written using two digits rather than four digits to define the application year (i.e., "98" rather than "1998"). A failure by a business to properly identify and correct a Year 2000 Problem in its operations could result in system failures or miscalculations. In turn, this could result in disruptions of operations, including among other things a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices or otherwise engage in routine business transactions on a day-to-day basis. Operations of the Corporation depend upon the successful operation on a daily basis of its computer software programs. The Corporation relies upon software purchased from third-party vendors rather than internally generated software, and based upon its ongoing discussions with these vendors, the Corporation believes that most of its software already reflects changes necessary to avoid the Year 2000 Problem. The Corporation expects to update during 1998 any remaining software that could be affected by the Year 2000 Problem to eliminate remaining concerns. This update is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation. 18 DEARBORN BANCORP, INC. FORM 10-Q (continued) PART 2 - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS IN FORM 8-K.
