Dearborn, Michigan We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheets of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. as of March 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three month periods then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Crowe Chizek and Company LLC Grand Rapids, Michigan April 22, 2003 3 DEARBORN BANCORP, INC.

FORM 10-Q (continued) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A. Accounting and Reporting Policies The consolidated financial statements of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. (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 consolidated financial statements of the Corporation as of March 31, 2003 and 2002, and December 31, 2002 and for the three month period ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items which are in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. The operating results for the quarter are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the entire year. The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2003 and 2002, and for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 included herein have been prepared by the Corporation, without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereon included in the Corporation's 2002 Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K. 8 A. Accounting and Reporting Policies (continued) Employee compensation expense under stock option plans is reported using the intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted had an exercise plan equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if expense was measured using the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation (in thousands, except share and per share data).

Stock Option Plan Options to buy common stock are granted to officers and employees under a Stock Option Plan which provides for issue of up to 607,754 shares. Exercise price is the market price at date of grant. The maximum option term is ten years, and options vest fully after six months from the date of grant. If an option expires or terminates without having been exercised, such option becomes available for future grant under the Plan. A summary of the option activity is as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2003 is as follows: Weighted Weighted Average Fair Available Average Value of For Options Exercise Options Grant Outstanding Price Granted ----- ----------- ----- ------- Outstanding at January 1, 2003 103,576 461,662 $ 8.95 Granted (103,576) 103,576 18.40 6.65 Exercised --- (12,571) 7.22 --------- ----------- ------ Outstanding at March 31, 2003 --- 552,667 $10.76 For the options outstanding at March 31, 2003, the range of exercise prices was $5.60 to $18.40 per share with a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 7.7 years. At March 31, 2003, 428,341 options were exercisable at weighted average exercise price of $8.76 per share. Stock options for 103,576 shares of common stock were not considered in computing diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 because they were antidilutive. There were no antidilutive shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. 11 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND 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. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 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. 12 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. Subsequently, branch offices were opened in Dearborn Heights and Plymouth Township. During 2001, the Bank opened its fourth and fifth offices in Canton Township, Michigan and Clinton Township, Michigan, respectively. Additionally, Community Bank Mortgage, Inc., a mortgage company, was formed and began operations in 2001. During 2002, the Bank opened its sixth branch office in Southgate, Michigan. The Bank also moved the Clinton Township retail branch operations to 19100 Hall Road during 2002. The branch office is adjacent to the office at 45000 River Ridge, which will continue to serve as a regional lending center. The Bank formed Community Bank Audit Services, Inc., a subsidiary that offers internal audit and compliance services during 2002. During the first quarter of 2003, the Bank signed an agreement to lease 2,037 square feet in a commercial office building in Auburn Hills, Michigan, which will be the location of our second regional lending center. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Corporation reported net income of $580,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2003, compared to net income of $477,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2002. The increase in net income was primarily due to the improvements in net interest income and the increase in gain on the sale of loans. The improvement in net interest income was primarily due to the increase in the commercial real estate loan and other commercial loan portfolios and the decreasing cost of deposits during the period. Management expects net interest income to continue to increase during 2003 due to planned deployment of funds currently invested in federal funds sold into loans and the repricing of savings and time deposits. The gain on sale of loans, which is based on the level of residential real estate mortgage originations are expected to continue at current levels. NET INTEREST INCOME 2003 Compared to 2002. As noted on the two charts on the following pages, net interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2003, was $3,012,000 compared to $2,269,000 for the same period ended March 31, 2002, an increase of $743,000 or 33%. This increase was caused primarily by an increase in the volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The Corporation's interest rate spread decreased to 3.08% in 2003 from 3.23% in 2002. During the same period, the Corporation's net interest margin decreased to 3.52% in 2003 from 3.83% during the same period in 2002. The Corporation's decrease in interest rate spread and net interest margin was primarily the result the relatively large amount of the Bank's funds that are temporarily invested in interest bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold. As these funds are deployed into loans, the Bank's interest rate spread and net interest rate margin are expected to improve. Management expects that both the net interest margin on earning assets and the net interest rate spread will increase during 2003 as the Bank converts funds currently held in federal funds and interest bearing deposits with banks into loans and the cost of deposits continue to decrease. Planned deposit growth for the remainder of 2003 is expected to slow considerably in comparison to the first quarter of 2003. 13 Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields. Net interest income is affected by the difference ("interest rate spread") between rates of interest earned on interest-earning assets and rates of interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities and the relative amounts of interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets. When the total of interest-earning assets approximates or exceeds the total of interest-bearing liabilities, any positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income. Financial institutions have traditionally used interest rate spreads as a measure of net interest income. Another indication of an institution's net interest income is its "net yield on interest-earning assets" or "net interest margin," which is net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Corporation's consolidated average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. During the periods indicated, non-accruing loans, if any, are included in the loan category.

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. Three Months Ended March 31, 2003/2002 Change in Interest Due to: -------------------------------------- Average Average Net (In thousands) Balance Rate Change ------- -------- ------ Assets Interest bearing deposits with banks $ 58 $ (1) $ 57 Federal funds sold (7) (30) (37) Securities, available for sale (1) (45) (46) Loans 1,587 (237) 1,350 -------- -------- ------ Total earning assets $1,637 $(313) $1,324 ======== ======== ====== Liabilities Interest bearing deposits $ 640 $(186) $ 454 Other borrowings 122 5 127 -------- -------- ------ Total interest bearing liabilities $ 762 $(181) $ 581 ======== ======== ====== Net interest income $ 743 ====== Net interest rate spread (0.15)% ====== Net interest margin on earning assets (0.31)% ====== PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES 2003 Compared to 2002. The provision for loan losses was $228,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2003, compared to $225,000 for the same period in 2002, an increase of $3,000 or 1% for the three month period. The provision for loan losses for the three month period ended March 31, 2003 is based on the internal analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan losses was based upon management's assessment of relevant factors, including types and amounts of non-performing loans, historical and anticipated loss experience on such types of loans, and current and projected economic conditions. 15 NON-INTEREST INCOME 2003 Compared to 2002. Non-interest income was $751,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2003, compared to $313,000 for the same period in 2002, an increase of $438,000 or 140%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the gain on the sale of loans during the period. The volume of mortgage loans sold increased during the period primarily due to the addition of five mortgage loan originators during 2002. Management expects the gain on sale of loans to continue at the same level during the remainder of 2003. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE 2003 Compared to 2002. Non-interest expense was $2,657,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2003, compared to $1,635,000 for the same period in 2002, an increase of $1,022,000 or 63%. The largest component of non-interest expense was salaries and employee benefits which amounted to $1,777,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2003, compared to $1,008,000 for the same period in 2002, an increase of $769,000 or 76%. The primary factor in the increase in salaries and benefits expense was the addition of two branch offices during 2002 and the expansion of the commercial lending and residential lending departments. As of March 31, 2003, the number of full time equivalent employees was 106 compared to 68 as of March 31, 2002. Salaries and employee benefits will continue to increase with the addition of a regional lending center in Auburn Hills and general staff increases. The second largest component of the increase in non-interest expense was occupancy and equipment expense. Occupancy and equipment expense amounted to $322,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2003, compared to $218,000 for the same period in 2002, an increase of $104,000 or 48%. The primary factor in the increase in occupancy and equipment expense was the opening of branch offices in Clinton Township, Michigan and Southgate, Michigan. During 2003, the Bank will open a regional lending center in Auburn Hills, Michigan. INCOME TAX PROVISION 2003 Compared to 2002. The income tax expense was $298,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2003, compared to $245,000 for the same period in 2002, an increase of $53,000 or 22%. The increase was primarily a result of increased pre-tax income. 16 COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 2003 AND DECEMBER 31, 2002 Assets. Total assets at March 31, 2003 were $386,055,000 compared to $325,100,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $60,955,000 or 19%. The increase was primarily due to increases in cash and cash equivalents during the period. Federal Funds Sold. Total federal funds sold at March 31, 2003 were $12,385,000 compared to $8,572,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $3,813,000 or 44%. The increase was primarily due to the short term deployment of funds that were received as a result of an increase in deposits during the period. These funds are deployed into federal funds sold until they can be utilized to fund loan volume. Interest bearing deposits with banks. Total interest bearing deposits with banks at March 31, 2003 were $33,983,000 compared to $4,975,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $29,008,000 or 583%. The increase was primarily due to the short term deployment of funds that were received as a result of an increase in deposits during the period. These funds are deployed into interest bearing deposits with banks until they can be utilized to fund loan volume. This investment was established to provide the Corporation with an alternate short term investment option. This short term investment is a variable-rate certificate of deposit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis that carries a similar rate of return to federal funds sold. Mortgage Loans Held for Sale. Total mortgage loans held for sale at March 31, 2003 were $8,633,000 compared to $9,852,000 at December 31, 2002, a decrease of $1,219,000 or 12%. This decrease was a result of a change in the level of residential real estate mortgage loans waiting to be purchased by mortgage correspondents. Securities - Available for Sale. Total securities, available for sale, at March 31, 2003 were $28,866,000 compared to $22,216,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $6,650,000 or 30%. The increase was due to the purchase of securities, available for sale during the period. These securities were purchased in order to increase the Bank's earning asset yield. The entire portfolio has a unrealized gain of $106,000 at March 31, 2003. The Corporation does not hold any securities in the "Held to Maturity" category nor does the Corporation hold or utilize derivatives. Please refer to Note B of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the amortized cost and estimated market value of securities, available for sale. Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. Federal Home Loan Bank stock was valued at $1,033,000 at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002. 17 Loans. Total loans at March 31, 2003 were $288,321,000 compared to $267,522,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $20,799,000 or 8%. The increase was primarily due to the continued expansion of the commercial lending department during 2003. This expansion included the addition of five experienced loan officers during the last twelve months. Three of these loan officers will continue to focus their efforts on developing commercial lending relationships in Oakland County and relocate to our regional lending center in Auburn Hills, Michigan during the second quarter of 2003. Major categories of loans included in the loan portfolio are as follows (in thousands): 03/31/03 12/31/02 03/31/02 -------- -------- -------- Consumer loans $ 21,408 $ 22,170 $ 18,147 Commercial, financial, & other 54,967 46,187 35,199 Commercial real estate construction 33,458 30,083 16,756 Commercial real estate mortgages 146,745 139,243 108,053 Residential real estate mortgages 31,743 29,839 30,696 -------- -------- -------- 288,321 267,522 208,851 Allowance for loan losses (3,109) (2,875) (2,131) -------- -------- -------- $285,212 $264,647 $206,720 ======== ======== ======== The following is a summary of non-performing assets and problems loans (in thousands): 03/31/03 12/31/02 03/31/02 -------- -------- -------- Over 90 days past due and still accruing $ 41 $ 32 $ 48 Non-accrual loans 2,634 2,641 854 -------- -------- -------- $2,675 $2,673 $902 ======== ======== ======== Non-accrual loans at March 31, 2003 were $2,634,000, of which, $1,903,000 was related to one commercial loan relationship that is well secured. The remaining non-accrual loans consisted of one residential loan in bankruptcy proceedings with a balance of $287,000 and three slow paying commercial loans with balances of $270,000, $176,000 and $54,000. Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses was $3,109,000 at March 31, 2003 compared to $2,875,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $234,000 or 8%. The increase was primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2003. The allowance for loan losses was based upon management's assessment of relevant factors, including loan growth, types and amounts of non-performing loans, historical and anticipated loss experience on such types of loans, and current and projected economic conditions. 18 The following is an analysis of the allowance for loan losses (in thousands): Quarter Ended Year Ended Quarter Ended 03/31/03 12/31/02 03/31/02 ------------- ---------- ------------- Balance, beginning of year $ 2,875 $1,922 $ 1,922 Charge-offs: Consumer loans (5) (32) (19) Commercial loans --- (141) --- Recoveries: Consumer loans 2 9 1 Commercial loans 9 65 2 ------------- ---------- ------------- Net (charge-offs)/recoveries 6 (99) (16) Additions charged to operations 228 1,052 225 ------------- ---------- ------------- Balance, end of period $3,109 $2,875 $ 2,131 ============= ========== ============= Allowance to total loans 1.08% 1.07% 1.02% ============= ========== ============= Allowance to nonperforming assets 116.22% 107.56% 236.25% ============= ========== ============= Net charge-offs to average loans 0.00% 0.17% 0.01% ============= ========== ============= Premises and Equipment. Bank premises and equipment at March 31, 2003 was $5,596,000 compared to $5,276,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $320,000 or 6%. The increase in premises and equipment was primarily due to the cost of the renovation of the Bank's branch office in Southgate, Michigan. Accrued Interest Receivable. Accrued interest receivable at March 31, 2003 was $1,279,000 compared to $1,260,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $19,000 or 2%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the Bank's loan portfolio. Other Assets. Other assets at March 31, 2003 were $1,558,000 compared to $1,366,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $192,000 or 14%. The increase was primarily due to changes in deferred tax assets. 19 Deposits. Total deposits at March 31, 2003 were $322,062,000 compared to $262,086,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $59,976,000 or 23%. The following is a summary of the distribution of deposits (in thousands): 03/31/03 12/31/02 03/31/02 -------- -------- -------- Non-interest bearing: Demand $ 29,023 $ 32,457 $ 24,976 -------- -------- -------- Interest bearing: Checking $ 24,310 $ 25,083 $ 15,470 Money market 12,417 13,490 15,135 Savings 82,774 63,677 50,292 Time, under $100,000 85,140 61,331 61,362 Time, $100,000 and over 88,398 66,048 69,144 -------- -------- -------- 293,039 229,629 211,403 -------- -------- -------- Total deposits $322,062 $262,086 $236,379 ======== ======== ======== The increase in deposits was primarily due to normal business development, marketing, telemarketing, referral programs and growth strategies which included a grand opening promotion for the Bank's retail branch office in Clinton Township, Michigan during February 2003, which targeted time deposit growth and an annual birthday celebration and marketing campaign in March 2003. Management continues to implement a strategy during 2003 to change the mix of the deposit portfolio by focusing more heavily on demand, interest bearing checking, savings and money market, while reducing its reliance on time deposits. Management expects deposits to grow at a more moderate rate during the remainder of 2003. Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. Federal Home Loan Bank advances were $20,660,000 at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002. Trust Preferred Securities. Trust preferred securities were $10,000,000 at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002. The Corporation issued $10,000,000 of floating rate obligated mandatory redeemable securities through Dearborn Bancorp Trust I, a special purpose entity as part of a pooled offering on December 19, 2002. The interest rate was the three month LIBOR plus 3.35% and was 4.76% at March 31, 2003. The securities have a term of thirty years. The Corporation may redeem the securities after five years, with regulatory approval, at face value. They are presented in the liability section of the balance sheet, but are included as Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes. Debt issue costs of $300,000 have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the securities. Unamortized debt issuance costs were $297,000 at March 31, 2003. Accrued Interest Payable. Accrued interest payable at March 31, 2003 was $874,000 compared to $609,000 at December 31, 2001, an increase of $265,000 or 44%. The increase was primarily due to the increasing amount of interest bearing deposits during the period. 20 Other Liabilities. Other liabilities at March 31, 2003 were $1,119,000 compared to $1,054,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $65,000 or 6%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in expenses payable during the period.

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. 22 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 3. - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis. The Corporation has sought to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates by matching the effective maturities or repricing characteristics of the Corporation's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The matching of the assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which the assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive and by monitoring the expected effects of interest rate changes on net interest income. An asset or liability is interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. If the Corporation's assets mature or reprice more quickly or to a greater extent that its liabilities, the Corporation's net portfolio value and net interest income would tend to increase during periods of rising interest rates but decrease during periods of falling interest rates. If the Corporation's assets mature or reprice more slowly or to a lesser extent than its liabilities, its net portfolio value and net interest income would tend to decrease during periods of rising interest rates but increase during periods of falling interest rates. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by monitoring an institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap." An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific period if it will mature or reprice within that period. The interest rate sensitivity "gap" is the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities, and is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceed the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would be expected to adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap would be expected to result in an increase in net interest income, while conversely during a period of declining interest rates, a negative gap would be expected to result in an increase in net interest income and a positive gap would be expected to adversely affect net interest income. 23 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. The following table sets forth the amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities outstanding at March 31, 2003, which are expected to mature or reprice in each of the time periods shown below.
