PART 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION, ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis are intended to address significant factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation. The discussion provides a more comprehensive review of the financial position and operating results than can be obtained from a reading of the financial statements and footnotes presented elsewhere in this report. 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. Actual 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. 7 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. Results of Operations The Corporation reported net income of $176,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1999, compared to net income of $175,000 for the three period ended March 31, 1998. The positive impact on net interest income of significant growth in the volume of loans and deposits was offset by the increase in loan loss reserves. Net Interest Income 1999 Compared to 1998. Net interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 was $1,075,000 compared to $707,000 for the same period ended March 31, 1998, an increase of $368,000 or 52%. This increase was caused primarily by an increase in average earning assets of $37.4 million between the periods while interest-bearing liabilities grew by $16.8 million. At the same time the Corporation's interest rate spread decreased to 2.15% in 1999 from 2.43% in 1998. However, the Corporation's net interest margin increased in 1999 to 3.52% from 3.33% in 1998. The decrease in net interest spread was offset by increases in the volume of net earning assets. The Corporation's decrease in interest rate spread was a result of investing the Corporation's available funds in federal funds sold and investment securities, available for sale, until which time the Corporation can deploy the capital into other investments or acquisitions. 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. 8 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. 1999/1998 Change in Interest Due to: --------------------------- Average Average Net (In thousands) Balance Rate Change ------- ------- ------ Assets Federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits with banks $ (37) $ (2) $(39) Investment securities, available for sale 332 (55) 277 Loans 315 (111) 204 ===== ===== ===== Total earning assets $ 611 $(169) $ 442 ===== ===== ===== Liabilities Interest bearing deposits $ 203 $(127) $ 76 Other borrowings (2) (1) (3) ===== ===== ===== Total interest bearing liabilities $ 201 $(128) $ 73 ===== ===== ===== Net interest income $ 369 ===== Net interest rate spread (0.27)% ===== Net interest margin on earning assets 0.19% ===== Provision for Possible Credit Losses 1999 Compared to 1998. The provision for possible credit losses was $82,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1999, compared to $22,000 for the same period in 1998, an increase of $60,000 or 273% for the period. The company has increased its provision for possible credit losses as the level of non-accrual loans has increased during the period. 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. 10 Non-interest Income 1999 Compared to 1998. Non-interest income was $148,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1999, compared to $81,000 for the same period in 1998, an increase of $67,000 or 83% for the period. This increase was primarily due to gains on loans held for sale. Non-interest Expense 1999 Compared to 1998. Non-interest expense was $872,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1999, compared to $641,000 for the same period in 1998, an increase of $231,000 or 36% for the period. The largest components of non-interest expense were salaries and employee benefits which amounted to $548,000 and occupancy and equipment expense which amounted to $107,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1999. For the same period in 1998, salaries and employee benefits was $362,000 and occupancy and equipment expense was $96,000. The primary factor for these increases was the expansion of the operations and lending departments of the Bank in 1998 and 1999. As of March 31, 1999, the number of full time equivalent employees was 38 as compared to 30 as of March 31, 1998. Income Tax Benefit 1999 Compared to 1998. The income tax expense was $93,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1999, compared to an income tax benefit of $50,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase was primarily due to the depletion of all net operating loss carryforwards. Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 Assets. Total assets at March 31, 1999 were $135.7 million compared to $126.8 million at December 31, 1998, an increase of $8.9 million or 7%. The increase was primarily due to increases in investment securities available for sale and federal funds sold. Federal Funds Sold. Total federal funds sold at March 31, 1999 were $8.5 million compared to $4.0 million at December 31, 1998, an increase of $4.5 million or 113%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in deposits in March 1999. Mortgage Loans Held for Sale. Total mortgage loans held for sale at March 31, 1999 were $413,000 compared to $1,211,000 at December 31, 1998, a decrease of $798,000 or 66%. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in loan volume. 11 Investment Securities - Available for Sale. Total investment securities - available for sale, at March 31, 1999 were $53.9 million compared to approximately $50.2 million at December 31, 1998, an increase of $3.7 million or 7%. An increase in deposits has enabled the Corporation to invest in investment securities - available for sale until such time as quality loan opportunities or other higher yielding investments become available. All securities within the Corporation's portfolio are U.S. Treasury issues, U.S. Government sponsored agency issues, corporate debt securities carrying ratings of Aa2 or better or munipal obligations carrying ratings of Aaa or better.

As a result of the offering, the Corporation sold 1,407,600 shares of stock at a price of $13.73 per share and received $18.0 million in new capital, net of offering costs. The Corporation is also now trading on the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market under the symbol "DEAR". Liquidity and Asset and Liability Management 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 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 declining interest rates, the Corporation's assets would tend to prepay faster than originally expected thus decreasing the negative gap position. In addition, some of the Corporation's assets, such as adjustable rate mortgages, have caps on the amount by which their interest rates can change in any single period, and therefore may not reprice as quickly as liabilities in the same maturity category. 17 The following table set forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at March 31, 1999 which are expected to mature or reprice in each of the time periods shown (in thousands): DEARBORN BANCORP, INC.

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., "99" rather than "1999"). 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. The Corporation began to prepare for the Year 2000 project in 1997. The plan began with an internal evaluation of equipment, software applications and vendor supplied products. The Corporation's main data processing vendor has represented that it is compliant at December 31, 1998, and regularly provides updates on its progress to the Corporation. The Corporation has a written plan, which is regularly updated and reported to the Board of Directors. The testing phase was essentially complete on December 31, 1998. The current phase of the plan is contingency planning and validation. The Corporation has also been gathering information from significant borrowers and depositors, to help mitigate any risk posed to the Bank by their non-compliance. During 1998, the Corporation made expenditures of $313,000, of which $65,000 was charged to expense for depreciation, testing and employee wages to upgrade non-compliant personal computer workstations, software and local area networks. In 1999, the Corporation expects to incur $99,000 in expenses related to depreciation, testing and employee wages. In August 1998, the Corporation made a capital expenditure of $151,000 to purchase a new mainframe computer to accommodate the growth of the corporation. The mainframe was certified Year 2000 Compliant at the time of delivery. Additionally, if the Corporation (or its customers or vendors) are unable to remedy any potential Year 2000 problems in a timely manner, there could be a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business. The Corporation has a written contingency plan in place should testing fail on any given computer application. Based on information that is currently available, the Corporation does not anticipate that the cost of achieving Year 2000 compliance will have a material effect on its capital resources, results of operations, or liquidity as presented herein.
