PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
D&N Financial Corporation ("D&N" or the "Company") is a financial
services holding company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. The
Company's principal subsidiary is D&N Bank (the "Bank"), a federally chartered
stock savings bank headquartered in Hancock, Michigan.
The Bank was founded in 1889 and operated as a state-chartered mutual
savings and loan association until February 1984, when it converted to a federal
charter. In 1985, the Bank converted to a stock association, and in 1986,
converted to a federal savings bank. The Bank adopted a holding company
structure in July 1988. With total assets of $1.82 billion at December 31, 1997,
D&N is one of the largest savings institutions headquartered in Michigan.
D&N's primary business consists of attracting deposits from the general
public and making real estate loans, business loans, and consumer loans and
other types of investments. The Company conducts its business through a network
of 37 full-service community banking offices, including its main office in
Hancock, Michigan, seven savings agency offices which provide depository
services and four mortgage banking offices. The Bank's deposits are insured up
to the maximum extent permitted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC"). The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of
Indianapolis, which is one of the 12 regional banks comprising the FHLB System.
The Bank is subject to supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision,
Department of the Treasury ("OTS") and by the FDIC.
The executive office of the Company is located at 400 Quincy Street,
Hancock, Michigan 49930, telephone (906) 482-2700.
Like many financial institutions, the operations of the Company's
subsidiary are materially affected by general economic conditions, the monetary
and fiscal policies of the federal government and the policies of the various
regulatory authorities, including the OTS, the FDIC and the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"). Its results of
operations are largely dependent upon its net interest income which is the
difference between the interest it receives on its loans and investment
securities, and the interest it pays on its liabilities. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -
Financial Condition - Asset/Liability Management."
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
When used in this Form 10-K or future filings by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press releases or

other public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the
approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases "would be",
"will allow", "intends to", "will likely result", "are expected to", "will
continue", "is anticipated", "estimate", "project", or similar expressions are
intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on
any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and
to advise readers that various factors, including regional and national economic
conditions, substantial changes in levels of market interest rates, credit and
other risks of lending and investment activities and competitive and regulatory

Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from those
anticipated or projected.
The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaim any
obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or
unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
LENDING ACTIVITIES

LOAN ORIGINATIONS, PURCHASES AND SALES. Federally chartered savings
institutions, like the Bank, have general authority to make real estate loans
throughout the United States. D&N has originated residential mortgage loans
secured by property both within and outside the State of Michigan. D&N has also
purchased residential mortgage loans secured by property located in various
states. In addition, the Company has originated income producing property loans
secured by real estate located in the State of Michigan and has purchased such
loans secured by property located in Michigan and elsewhere. Since 1990, the
Bank has chosen to focus the activities of its community banking offices on loan
originations in their market areas. At December 31, 1997, 73% of D&N's real
estate loans receivable (excluding government agency insured or guaranteed
mortgage-backed and derivative products) were secured by real estate located in
Michigan.
The following table presents information regarding the geographic
location of the properties securing D&N's residential mortgage and income
producing property loans at December 31, 1997. See "- Classified Assets, Loan
Delinquencies and Defaults" for a discussion of other real estate owned.

Residential loan originations are attributable to direct marketing
efforts of the Bank and of the Bank's subsidiary, D&N Mortgage Corporation, as
well as to referrals from real estate brokers and builders. Income producing
property loans are originated through the Bank's direct marketing efforts and
through referrals by existing customers. In 1997, total loan originations
increased $120.2 million, or 24% as a result of a significant increase in
consumer lending activity. Consumer loan originations alone increased $52.1
million, or 19%.
D&N Bank has sold loans and loan participations in the secondary
market, generally without recourse. Loans held for sale are recorded at the
lower of cost or market value. At December 31, 1997, the Bank had $5.3 million
of net loans held for sale consisting of 15 and 30 year fixed rate loans. These
sales have provided additional funds for loan originations and investments and
also generated income. The Bank generally continues, after the sale, to service
the loans and loan participations sold. Loan sales are made on a yield basis
with a portion of the difference between the yield to the purchaser and the
amount paid by the borrower constituting servicing income to D&N. On occasion,
the Bank also purchased mortgage loan servicing rights from others in order to
maintain its loan servicing portfolio economies of scale.
The weighted average servicing fee for loans serviced for others was
.31% at December 31, 1997. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Noninterest Income." At

December 31, 1997, D&N serviced for others approximately $519 million in
loans and loan participations. See also Note A of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Mortgage
Servicing Rights".
The Bank's investment in mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") totaled
$2.1 million at December 31, 1997. The following table details the value of the
Bank's investment in MSRs.

Outstanding loan commitments of the Bank at December 31, 1997
amounted to $38.6 million for one- to four-family residential real estate loans
and $40.1 million for commercial real estate loans. See "Regulation - Federal
Savings Association Regulation."
RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOANS. At December 31, 1997, the Bank had $717.4
million in residential mortgage loans representing 55.1% of the Bank's total
loan portfolio. This amount represents a 16.8% increase in the dollar value of
the residential loan portfolio. However, it also represents a 3.1% decrease in
the percentage of the Bank's portfolio consisting of residential real estate
loans as the Bank shifted its focus to emphasize the origination of consumer
loans.
The original contractual loan payment period for residential loans
originated by D&N Bank normally ranges from 15 to 30 years. Because borrowers
may refinance or prepay their loans, however, such loans often remain
outstanding for a substantially shorter period of time.
Prior to 1992, most of the Bank's residential mortgage loans were
originated by its mortgage banking subsidiary. The mortgage banking subsidiary
originated loans in southeastern Michigan, Illinois, Arizona, Texas and North
Carolina. The Bank now originates loans primarily in its Michigan market area
through its community banking and mortgage banking offices. Substantially all of
the residential loans being originated by the Bank are in a form which permits
their sale in the secondary market.
The Bank's first mortgages customarily include "due-on-sale" clauses,
which are provisions giving the Bank the right to declare a loan immediately due
and payable in the event, among other things, that the borrower sells or
otherwise disposes of the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is
not repaid. In general, the Bank enforces due-on-sale clauses in its first
mortgages.
- 9 -
10
In the case of conventional mortgage loans intended for sale, the
Bank's policy is to lend a maximum of 95% of the appraised value of
single-family residences. The Bank generally does not lend more than 90% of the
appraised value of the property on those loans it intends to hold. Private
mortgage insurance is required if the loan amount exceeds 80% of the appraised
value, in an amount sufficient to reduce the Bank's exposure to 75% or less of
the appraised value of the property. Property securing real estate loans made by
the Bank is appraised by independent appraisers selected by the Bank and whose
appraisals are reviewed by D&N personnel or other independent appraisers.
Loans up to the maximum limits for single family homes of the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") and the Federal National Mortgage
Association ("FNMA") may be approved by qualified loan officers of the Bank. The
Bank's Residential Loan Committee has single-family lending authority up to
$500,000, if two members approve. Loans in excess of $500,000 must be approved
by the Bank's Loan Committee (comprised of Messrs. Butvilas, Krupka, Janson,
West and Sliwinski). Loans in excess of $2 million must also be approved by the
Bank's Board of Directors.
Title, fire and casualty insurance as well as surveys are generally
required on all mortgage loans.
D&N Bank also offers a variety of Adjustable Rate Mortgages, ("ARM")
loans which offer adjustable rates of interest, payments, loan balances or terms
to maturity which vary according to specified indices. The Bank's ARMs generally
have a loan term of 30 years with rate adjustments every year or every three
years during the term of the loan. ARMs currently originated by the Bank contain
a 2% limit as to the maximum amount of change in the interest rate at any
adjustment period and a 6% limit over the life of the loan. The Bank generally
originates ARMs to hold in its portfolio. At December 31, 1997, residential ARMs
totaled $328 million, or 47% of the Bank's total residential one- to four-family
mortgage loan portfolio. Of this total ARM portfolio, $197 million or 60% were
purchased from others. Due to consumer demand, residential loans originated
during 1997 were predominately fixed rate loans.
Despite the benefits of ARMs to the Bank's asset/liability management
program, such loans also pose potential additional risks, primarily because as
interest rates rise, the underlying payment by the borrower rises, increasing
the potential for default. At the same time, marketability of the underlying
property may be adversely affected by higher interest rates.
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES. The Bank on occasion purchases
mortgage-backed securities to supplement residential loan production. The types
of securities purchased are based upon the Bank's asset/liability management
strategy and balance sheet objectives. In 1997, the Company
- 10 -
11
purchased $107.5 million of fixed rate Collateralized Mortgage Obligations
("CMO") with expected average lives of 2.7 to 4.3 years. CMOs are
securitiesderived by reallocating cash flows from mortgage pass-through
securities or pools of mortgage loans held by a trust. The CMO securities
purchased by the Bank in 1997 are backed by pass-through securities of either
FHLMC, FNMA or Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA").
The Bank has in the past invested in interest only strip securities
("IOs") and principal only strip securities ("POs") as part of its
asset/liability management strategy. At December 31, 1997, D&N had IOs with a
book value and a market value of $1.4 million, and had no POs at that date.
The following table sets forth information concerning the composition
of D&N's mortgage-backed securities portfolio in dollar amounts and percentages,
by type of security. See also Note F of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

INCOME PRODUCING PROPERTY LOANS. The Bank has historically originated
and purchased both permanent and, to a substantially lesser extent, construction
loans secured by income producing property and land development loans.
Essentially all permanent income producing property loans originated by the Bank
to date have been secured by real property located in Michigan.
To a substantially lesser extent, the Bank has also purchased income
producing property loans and participation interests in these loans outside of
Michigan. These loans may be in the form of mortgage-backed securities, may have
fixed or variable interest rates and most have been outstanding for three to
twelve years. At December 31, 1997, $16.5 million of D&N's portfolio of income
producing property loans were purchased loans.

CONSUMER LENDING. Federal regulations permit federal savings
institutions to make secured and unsecured consumer loans, together with
investments in commercial paper and corporate debt securities, in an amount up
to 35% of the institution's assets. In addition, a federal savings institution
has lending authority above the 35% category for certain consumer loans, such as
home equity loans, property improvement loans, mobile home loans and deposit
account secured loans.
Consumer loans originated by the Bank are offered at fixed and
adjustable rates of interest. The underwriting standards employed by the Bank
for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant's payment history on
other debts and an assessment of ability to meet existing obligations and
payments on the proposed loan. The stability of the applicant's monthly income
may be determined by verification of gross monthly income from primary
employment, and additionally from any verifiable secondary income. Although
creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration, the underwriting
process also includes a comparison of the value of the security, if any, in
relation to the proposed loan amount.
The Bank has established programs to originate consumer loans including
automobile loans, home improvement loans, home equity loans, student loans under
various guaranteed student loan programs, loans to depositors secured by pledges
of their deposit accounts and unsecured loans. Although consumer loans involve a
higher level of risk than one- to four-family
- 12 -
13
residential mortgage loans, they generally carry higher yields and have shorter
terms to maturity. The Bank has increased its origination of consumer loans
during the past several years, and is continuing to emphasize these types of
loans. At December 31, 1997, consumer loans totaled $449.6 million or 35% of the
Bank's loan portfolio, an increase of $110.3 million or 33% from December 31,
1996.
During 1997, net consumer loan charge-offs were $1,276,000 compared to
$926,000 in 1996, $642,000 in 1995, $411,000 in 1994 and $354,000 in 1993.
Indirect loan originations totaled $172.3 million in 1997. Indirect
receivables amounted to $235.2 million at December 31, 1997 and make up 53% of
the consumer loan portfolio. Indirect loans are underwritten according to the
same guidelines as direct loans, and the maximum dollar exposure to any one
dealer is typically limited to $5 million.
Home equity loans and home equity credit lines are extended at fixed or
variable rates of interest and normally do not exceed 80% of the property's
appraised value less the amount owing, if any, on a first mortgage. Home equity
loans are repaid according to fixed monthly payments over a maximum term of ten
years. Home equity credit lines require a monthly interest payment based upon
the outstanding balance. Home equity credit lines generally have five-year terms
at which time the Bank may require payment in full or renew the loan for another
five-year term. Amounts repaid are available for subsequent borrowing, subject
to satisfactory loan performance.
Home improvement loans are generally treated as home equity loans with
a first or second mortgage lien securing the loan. A small number of home
improvement loans are written as unsecured loans.
The Bank has increased its emphasis in recent years on unsecured loans.
These loans are underwritten according to strict guidelines, and loan officers
generally have lower approval limits for unsecured loans than for secured loans.
D&N Bank is subject to various state and federal limitations on the
maximum rates of interest it may charge on consumer and certain other loans.
These limitations have not had a significant effect on D&N's consumer loan
activities.
LOANS TO ONE BORROWER
Under federal law, the aggregate amount of loans that the Bank is
permitted to make to any one borrower is generally limited to 15% of unimpaired
capital and surplus. At December 31, 1997, the Bank's loans to
- 13 -
14
one borrower limit was approximately $19.8 million. See "Regulation - Federal
Regulation". At December 31, 1997, the Bank had no loans to one borrower in
excess of its lending limit.
CLASSIFIED ASSETS, LOAN DELINQUENCIES AND DEFAULTS
The Bank's collection procedures provide that when a residential
mortgage loan is 15 days past due, the borrower is contacted by mail and payment
is requested. For loans secured by income producing property, the borrower is
contacted by telephone when the loan is 15 days past due. If the delinquency
continues, subsequent efforts are made by telephone and mail to contact the
delinquent borrower. In certain instances, the Bank may modify the loan or grant
a limited moratorium on loan payments to enable the borrower to reorganize his
financial affairs. If the loan continues in a delinquent status for 90 days or
more, the Bank generally initiates foreclosure proceedings.
The process of non-judicial foreclosure in Michigan takes approximately
six weeks. A sheriff's sale is then held at which the Bank normally bids for the
purchase of the property. A conditional sheriff's deed is then awarded to the
highest bidder, usually the Bank, and the customer is given six months (or in
certain circumstances, one year) to redeem the conditional deed by repaying the
bid amount in full. During this redemption period, the borrower may occupy and
use the property as he sees fit. If he fails to redeem the sheriff's deed, then
the Bank acquires clear title to the real estate and subsequently sells it to
recover its investment. In most cases, it is not economical to obtain a
deficiency judgment against the borrower if residential property is sold for
less than the unpaid balance of the loan.
The following table sets forth information concerning delinquent
mortgage and other loans at December 31, 1997. The amounts presented represent
the total remaining principal balances of the related loans (before reserves for
losses), rather than the actual payment amounts which are overdue.

Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans and other
assets such as debt and equity securities considered to be of lesser credit
quality as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss" assets. The regulation requires
insured institutions to classify their own assets and to establish prudent
general allowances for loan losses for assets classified "substandard" or
"doubtful." For the portion of assets classified as "loss", an institution is
required to either establish specific allowances for loan losses for assets of
100% of the amount classified or charge off such amount. The OTS may require the
establishment of a general allowance for losses based on assets classified as
"substandard" and "doubtful" or based on the general credit quality of the asset
portfolio of an institution. At December 31, 1997, $8.5 million of the Bank's
assets were classified as "substandard", none of such assets were classified as
"doubtful" or as "loss". The Bank's classification of assets is consistent with
OTS examination classifications.
Hotels and motels account for $3.4 million of classified assets and
apartments account for $2.0 million. The balance of classified assets consists
of loans and real estate owned of various income producing properties, land,
residential real estate and consumer loans. Classified assets amounting to $2.0
million, or 10% of total classified assets, are secured by real estate located
in the state of California.
NONPERFORMING ASSETS AND RISK ELEMENTS
Nonperforming assets, including other real estate owned, decreased to
$5.3 million at December 31, 1997 compared to $8.1 million at December 31, 1996.
The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.29% at December 31, 1997
compared to 0.55% at December 31, 1996. Allowances for losses represented 199%
of nonperforming assets at December 31, 1997.
Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of principal
and/or interest becomes doubtful. In addition, residential mortgage loans and
income producing property loans are placed on nonaccrual status when the loan
becomes 90 days or more contractually delinquent. All consumer loans more than
90 days delinquent are charged against the consumer loan allowance for loan
losses. For 1997, the Bank would have recorded interest income of $369,000 if
nonaccrual and restructured loans had performed in accordance with their
original terms. The Bank recognized $52,000 of interest income on these loans in
1997.
The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of risk
elements in the Bank's loan portfolio:

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED
Other real estate owned, net of reserves, totaled $1.5 million at
December 31, 1997, the same as at December 31, 1996. Other real estate owned
consisted of single family homes, multi-family dwelling units and commercial
real estate. At foreclosure, real estate is recorded at estimated fair value
less disposal costs. Any difference between estimated fair value and the loan
balance is charged to the allowance for loan losses.
The largest asset in other real estate owned is a residential property
located in Indiana. This asset had a carrying value of approximately $314,000 at
December 31, 1997.
OTHER LOANS OF CONCERN
In addition to nonperforming assets, the Bank has other loans of
concern aggregating $14.1 million. These are loans which are currently
performing but which demonstrate a specific weakness or weaknesses which, if not
corrected, could cause failure of the borrower and default. These loans are
closely monitored by management, and as the weaknesses are corrected, may be
reclassified as acceptable loans.
- 16 -
17
Included in other loans of concern at December 31, 1997, are two income
producing property loans located in California and one in Michigan totaling $4.8
million that have all paid as agreed but, for various reasons, indicate
potential payment concerns.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is established at levels considered
appropriate based on management's judgment of potential losses in residential,
income producing and consumer loan portfolios. The loan portfolios are reviewed
at least quarterly for changes in performance, collateral value and overall
quality. Allocated allowances are established for problem loans with expected
losses, and in addition, allowances are established for unidentified potential
losses. Regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may
require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based upon their
judgment of the information available to them at the time of their examination.
A $1.4 million provision for potential loan losses was made in 1997, compared to
$1.1 million in 1996 and $2.4 million in 1995. Management's judgment in
determining the level of the allowance for loan losses is influenced by several
factors during the quarterly reviews. These factors include, but are not limited
to, past loan performance and loss experience, current economic and market
conditions, collateral location and market values, industry and geographic
concentrations and delinquency statistics and ratios. Management also considers
the different levels of risk between income producing property loans,
installment loans and one- to four-family residential loans. In addition,
management considers the level of nonperforming assets and classified assets,
the level of lending activity and the overall size of the loan portfolio.
Income-producing property charge-offs were primarily due to writedowns
of loans to estimated fair value. Consumer loan charge-offs increased somewhat,
but charge-off ratios decreased as the consumer loan portfolio grew at a faster
rate. See "Lending Activities" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES
As a member of the FHLB System, the Bank must maintain minimum levels
of liquid assets specified by federal regulations which vary from time to time.
See "Regulation -- Federal Home Loan Bank System." Liquidity may increase or
decrease depending upon the availability of funds and comparative yields on
investments in relation to return on loans.
Historically, the Bank has maintained liquid assets above the minimum
requirements imposed by federal regulations and at a level believed adequate to
meet requirements of normal daily activities, repayment of maturing debt and
potential deposit outflows. Cash flow is regularly reviewed and updated to
maintain adequate liquidity. For the month of December 1997, the Bank's average
liquidity ratio (liquid assets as a percentage of net withdrawable deposits and
current borrowings) was 13.9%, which was in excess of regulatory requirements.

SOURCE OF FUNDS
GENERAL. Deposits are an important source of the Bank's funds for use
in lending and for other general business purposes. In addition to deposits, the
Bank derives funds from loan repayments, advances from the FHLB of Indianapolis,
other borrowings, reverse repurchase agreements, and at times has derived funds
from loan and securities sales. Scheduled loan repayments are a relatively
stable source of funds, while loan prepayments and deposit inflows and outflows
are significantly influenced by general interest rates and money market
conditions. Borrowings may be used to compensate for reductions in normal
sources of funds, such as deposit inflows at less than
- 19 -
20
projected levels or deposit outflows, or to support expanded activities.
Historically, the Bank has borrowed primarily from the FHLB of Indianapolis,
through institutional reverse repurchase agreements and, to a lesser extent,
from other sources.
DEPOSIT ACTIVITIES. The Bank attracts both short-term and long-term
deposits from the general public by offering a wide assortment of accounts and
rates. In recent years, market conditions have required the Company to rely
increasingly on short-term accounts that are more responsive to market interest
rates. The Bank offers regular savings accounts, checking accounts, various
money market accounts, fixed interest rate certificates with varying maturities,
negotiated rate certificates of deposit of $100,000 or above ("Jumbo CDs") and
individual retirement accounts.
The composition of the Bank's deposits at the end of recent periods is
set forth in Note J of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. At December
31, 1997, the Company had no brokered deposits. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." In addition, the
Bank believes that, based on its experience over the past five years, its
savings accounts are stable sources of deposits.

The variety of deposit accounts offered by the Bank has allowed it to
be competitive in obtaining funds and has allowed it to respond with
flexibility (by paying rates of interest more closely approximating market
rates of interest) to, although not eliminate the threat of, disintermediation
(the flow of funds away
- 20 -
21
from depository institutions such as savings institutions into direct investment
vehicles such as government and corporate securities). In addition, the Bank has
become much more subject to short-term fluctuations in deposit flows. The
ability of the Bank to attract and maintain deposits, and its cost of funds,
have been, and will continue to be, significantly affected by money market
conditions.

BORROWINGS. The FHLB of Indianapolis functions as a central reserve
bank, providing credit for savings institutions within its assigned region. As a
member of the FHLB of Indianapolis, D&N Bank is required to own capital stock in
the FHLB of Indianapolis and is authorized to apply for advances on the security
of such stock and certain of its residential mortgage loans and
- 22 -
23
other assets (principally, securities which are obligations of, or guaranteed
by, the United States) provided certain standards related to creditworthiness
have been met. See "Regulation -- Federal Home Loan Bank System." FHLB advances
are made pursuant to several different credit programs. Each credit program has
its own interest rate and range of maturities. The FHLB of Indianapolis
prescribes the acceptable uses to which the advances pursuant to each program
may be made as well as limitations on the size of advances. Depending on the
program limitations, the amount of advances are generally based on the FHLB of
Indianapolis' assessment of the institution's creditworthiness. The FHLB of
Indianapolis is required to review its credit limitations and standards at least
once every six months. The Bank utilizes borrowings, in part, to fund increases
in loan demand.
The Bank has entered into reverse repurchase agreements with major
investment bankers utilizing government securities or various mortgage
instruments as collateral. These reverse repurchase agreements are generally
utilized in connection with the Bank's investments. See "Investment Activities"
and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations".

SERVICE CORPORATION ACTIVITIES
The Bank is permitted to invest an amount equal to 2% of its assets
(excluding those of its subsidiaries) in its service corporations. Up to an
additional 1% of assets may be invested in service corporations provided that
such amount is used for certain types of community development projects. In
addition, federal regulations permit institutions to make specified types of
loans to such subsidiaries (other than special-purpose finance subsidiaries) in
which the institution owns more than 10% of the stock, in an aggregate amount
not exceeding 50% of the institution's total capital as defined below.
- 24 -
25
As of December 31, 1997, the Bank's investment in stock of and loans to its
subsidiaries (other than its special-purpose finance subsidiary and its Real
Estate Investment Trust) was in compliance with the regulations and totaled $5.6
million. A federal institution may also invest up to 30% of its assets in
special-purpose finance subsidiaries established and operated in accordance with
federal regulations. The Bank's investment in its special purpose finance
subsidiary, D&N Funding I Corp., was in compliance with these regulations at
December 31, 1997. Federal law imposes special capitalization requirements on
savings institutions such as the Bank which are engaged in activities through a
subsidiary that are not permissible for national banks. See "Regulation --
Regulatory Capital Requirements." The following is a description of the Bank's
service corporations.
D&N Enterprises, Inc. ("Enterprises") was formed in 1972 for the
purpose of developing real estate through joint venture arrangements. At
December 31, 1997, the Company had a $300,000 investment in Enterprises and
loans totaling approximately $1.5 million to the subsidiary.
Enterprises entered into the Northside Joint Venture in March 1989 to
acquire and develop commercial sites in Shelby Township, Michigan. Enterprises
is in the process of marketing this property in its entirety.
D&N Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings") was formed in 1985 and is involved in
the sale of mortgage life insurance through its investment in Minnesota Mutual
Life Insurance Company ("MIMLIC") and also offers insurance products and annuity
contracts through Quincy Insurance Agency, Inc., a subsidiary of Holdings formed
in 1995. In Michigan, MIMLIC's mortgage life insurance policies are marketed and
sold primarily through Michigan savings institutions. At December 31, 1997, D&N
Bank's investment in Holdings totaled approximately $200,000.
MORTGAGE BANKING. On May 1, 1984, D&N Bank established a mortgage
banking operation through a subsidiary, D&N Mortgage Corporation ("DNMC"). This
subsidiary was relatively dormant from 1992 until 1995. Since restarting
operations, D&N Mortgage Corporation has originated loans mainly for the Bank's
portfolio. D&N Mortgage Corporation currently has four origination offices
located in Michigan's lower peninsula in the cities of Grand Rapids, Hastings,
West Bloomfield and St. Joseph. At December 31, 1997, the Bank had $2.4 million
invested in this subsidiary.
FINANCE SUBSIDIARY. In 1986, D&N Bank incorporated a special-purpose
finance subsidiary, D&N Funding I Corp. ("Funding"). Funding was established
solely for the purpose of issuing collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs").
In August 1986, Funding pledged $61.5 million in principal amount of FHLMC
participation certificates to collateralize the issuance and sale of the CMOs
from which the Bank received $56.4 million in net proceeds. The CMOs were sold
through a third party conduit and were secured by the pledge of the
- 25 -
26
participation certificates. D&N Bank reinvested the proceeds from the sale of
the CMOs in residential and commercial mortgage loans.
NEW BANK SUBSIDIARY
D&N Capital Corporation ("D&N Capital") is a Delaware corporation
incorporated on March 18, 1997 for the purpose of acquiring and holding real
estate assets and is a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"). All shares of
common stock of D&N Capital are owned by D&N Bank.
On July 17,1997, D&N Capital sold 1.21 million shares of its 9.0%
noncumulative preferred stock, Series A with a liquidation preference of $25.00
per share (totaling $30,250,000). The Series A Preferred Shares are generally
not redeemable prior to July 1, 2002. On or after July 1, 2002, the Series A
Preferred Shares may be redeemed for cash at the option of the Bank, in whole or
in part, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share. As part of this transaction,
D&N Capital received $28,719,000 in net proceeds, after offering costs of
$1,531,000. The net proceeds, along with the proceeds received from the sale of
D&N Capital common stock to D&N Bank, were used to purchase $60,524,000 of
mortgage loans from D&N Bank. The interest on these loans is being used to fund
the dividends on D&N Capital's preferred and common stock.
The preferred shares are treated as Tier-1 Capital by the Bank, and are
traded on Nasdaq as DNFCP. During 1997, D&N Capital declared and paid preferred
dividends totaling $1,217,563.
COMPETITION
At December 31, 1997, the Bank ranked second among all savings
institutions headquartered in the State of Michigan with respect to total
assets.
D&N Bank experiences substantial competition in attracting and
retaining deposits and in lending funds. The primary factors in competing for
deposits are the ability to offer attractive rates, the availability of
convenient office locations and the range and quality of services offered.
Direct competition for deposits comes from other savings institutions,
credit unions and commercial banks. Additional significant competition for
deposits comes from money market mutual funds and corporate and government
securities. The primary factors in competing for loans are interest rates, loan
origination fees and the range of services offered. Competition for origination
of real estate loans and consumer loans normally comes from other
- 26 -
27
savings institutions, credit unions, commercial banks, mortgage bankers,
mortgage brokers and insurance companies.
The deposit programs of savings institutions such as the Bank compete
with government securities, money market mutual funds and other investment
alternatives. Legislative and regulatory action has increased competition
between savings institutions and other financial institutions, such as
commercial banks, by expanding the ranges of financial services that may be
offered by savings institutions such as interest bearing checking accounts,
trust services and consumer loan products, while reducing or eliminating the
difference between savings institutions and commercial banks with respect to
long-term lending authority, taxation and maximum rates of interest that may be
paid on savings deposits.
EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 1997, the Bank had 513 employees, including 94
part-time employees. Management considers its relations with its employees to be
satisfactory. The Bank's employees are not represented by any collective
bargaining group.
The Bank currently maintains a comprehensive employee benefit program
providing, among other benefits, a 401(k) plan with an Employee Stock Ownership
Program, hospitalization and major medical insurance, paid sick leave, long-term
disability insurance and life insurance.
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The following information as to the business experience during the past
five years is supplied with respect to executive officers of the Company or its
wholly owned subsidiary, other than the Chief Executive Officer, who do not
serve on the Company's Board of Directors. Executive officers are elected
annually to serve until their successors are elected or until they resign or are

REGULATION
GENERAL
The Bank is a federally chartered savings bank, the deposits of which
are federally insured and backed by the full faith and credit of the United
States Government. Accordingly, the Bank is subject to broad federal regulation
and oversight extending to all operations. The Bank is a member of FHLB of
Indianapolis and is subject to certain limited regulation by the Federal Reserve
Board. As the savings and loan holding company of the Bank, the Company also is
subject to federal regulation and oversight. The purpose of the regulation of
the Company and other holding companies is to protect subsidiary savings
institutions. The Bank is a member of the Savings Association Insurance Fund
("SAIF"), and the deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC. As a result, the
FDIC has certain regulatory and examination authority over the Bank. Certain of
these regulatory requirements and restrictions are discussed below or elsewhere
in this document.
FEDERAL REGULATION
The OTS has extensive authority over the operations of savings
institutions. As part of this authority, the Bank is required to file periodic
reports with the OTS and is subject to periodic examinations by the OTS and the
FDIC. The last regular OTS examination of the Bank was as of June 30, 1997.
Under agency scheduling guidelines, it is likely that another examination will
be initiated in the near future. When these examinations are conducted by the
OTS or the FDIC, the examiners may require the Bank to provide for higher
general or specific loan loss reserves.
The Bank's general permissible lending limit for loans-to-one-borrower
is equal to the greater of $500,000 or 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus
(except for loans fully secured by certain readily marketable collateral, in
which case this limit is increased to 25% of unimpaired capital and surplus). At
December 31, 1997, the Bank's lending limit under this restriction was $19.8
million. The Bank is in compliance with the loans-to-one-borrower limitation.
.
INSURANCE OF ACCOUNTS AND REGULATION BY THE FDIC
The Bank is a member of the SAIF, which is administered by the FDIC.
Savings deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC and such
insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States
Government. As insurer, the FDIC imposes deposit insurance premiums and is
authorized to conduct examinations of and to require reporting by FDIC- insured
institutions. It also may prohibit any FDIC-insured institution from engaging in
any activity the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a
- 29 -
30
serious risk to the FDIC. The FDIC also has the authority to initiate
enforcement actions against savings institutions, after giving the OTS an
opportunity to take such action, and may terminate the deposit insurance if it
determines that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound
practices, or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.
The FDIC's deposit insurance premiums are assessed through a risk-
based system under which all insured institutions are placed into one of nine
categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon their level of capital and
supervisory evaluation. Under the system, institutions classified as well
capitalized (i.e., a core capital ratio of at least 5%, a ratio of Tier 1 or
core capital to risk-weighted assets ("Tier 1 risk-based capital") of at least
6% and a risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%) and considered healthy pay
the lowest premium while institutions that are less than adequately capitalized
(i.e., core or Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios of less than 4% or a risk-based
capital ratio of less than 8%) and considered of substantial supervisory concern
pay the highest premium. Risk classification of all insured institutions will be
made by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment period.
The FDIC is authorized to increase assessment rates, on a semiannual
basis, if it determines that the reserve ratio of the SAIF will be less than the
designated reserve ratio of 1.25% of SAIF insured deposits. In setting these
increased assessments, the FDIC must seek to restore the reserve ratio to that
designated reserve level, or such higher reserve ratio as established by the
FDIC. In addition, the FDIC may impose special assessments on SAIF members to
repay amounts borrowed from the United States Treasury or for any other reason
deemed necessary by the FDIC.
D&N Bank, will continue to be subject to an assessment to fund
repayment of the Financing Corporation's bond obligation of 6.5 cents per $100
of deposits while BIF insured institutions will pay 1.3 cents per $100 of
deposits until the year 2000 when the assessment will be imposed at the same
rate on all FDIC insured institutions.
REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
Federally insured savings institutions, such as the Bank, are required
to maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital. The OTS has established
capital standards, including a tangible capital requirement, a leverage ratio
(or core capital) requirement and a risk-based capital requirement applicable to
such savings institutions. These capital requirements must be generally as
stringent as the comparable capital requirements for national banks. The OTS is
also authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on
individual institutions on a case-by-case basis.
The capital regulations require tangible capital of at least 1.5% of
- 30 -
31
adjusted total assets (as defined by regulation). Tangible capital generally
includes common stockholders' equity and retained income, and certain
noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related income. In addition, all
intangible assets, other than a limited amount of mortgage servicing rights
(MSRs) must be deducted from tangible capital. At December 31, 1997, the Bank
had $2,136,000 of unamortized MSRs, none of which was required to be deducted
from tangible capital.
At December 31, 1997, the Bank had tangible capital of $119.5 million,
or 6.55% of adjusted total assets, which is approximately $92.1 million above
the minimum requirement of 1.5% of adjusted total assets in effect on that date.
The capital standards also require core capital equal to at least 3% of
adjusted total assets (as defined by regulation). Core capital generally
consists of tangible capital plus certain intangible assets, including a limited
amount of purchased credit card relationships. As a result of the prompt
corrective action provisions discussed below, however, a savings institution
must maintain a core capital ratio of at least 4% to be considered adequately
capitalized unless its supervisory condition is such to allow it to maintain a
3% ratio.
At December 31, 1997, the Bank had core capital equal to $119.5
million, or 6.55% of adjusted total assets, which is $64.7 million above the
minimum leverage ratio requirement of 3% as in effect on that date.
The OTS risk-based requirement requires savings institutions to have
total capital of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets. Total capital consists of
core capital, as defined above, and supplementary capital. Supplementary capital
consists of certain permanent and maturing capital instruments that do not
qualify as core capital and general valuation loan and lease loss allowances up
to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Supplementary capital may be used
to satisfy the risk-based requirement only to the extent of core capital. The
OTS is also authorized to require a savings institution to maintain an
additional amount of total capital to account for concentration of credit risk
and the risk of non-traditional activities. At December 31, 1997 the Bank had
$10.4 million of general loss reserves which could be counted as supplementary
capital.
On December 31, 1997, the Bank had total capital of $129.9 million
(including $119.5 million in core capital and $10.4 million in qualifying
supplementary capital) and risk-weighted assets of $1.08 billion (including
$48.0 million in converted off-balance sheet assets); or total capital of 11.98%
of risk-weighted assets. This amount was $43.1 million above the 8% requirement
in effect on that date.
The OTS and the FDIC are authorized and, under certain circumstances
required, to take certain actions against institutions that fail to meet their
- 31 -
32
capital requirements. The OTS is generally required to take action to restrict
the activities of an "undercapitalized institution" (generally defined to be one
with less than either a 4% core ratio, a 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio or
an 8% risk-based capital ratio). Any such institution must submit a capital
restoration plan and until such plan is approved by the OTS may not increase its
assets, acquire another institution, establish a branch or engage in any new
activities, and generally may not make capital distributions. The OTS is
authorized to impose the additional restrictions, discussed below, that are
applicable to significantly undercapitalized institutions. On December 31, 1997,
the Bank had a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.02%.
Any savings institution that fails to comply with its capital plan or
is "significantly undercapitalized" (i.e., Tier 1 risk-based or core capital
ratios of less than 3% or a risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%) must be
made subject to one or more of additional specified actions and operating
restrictions which may cover all aspects of its operations and include a forced
merger or acquisition of the institution. An institution that becomes
"critically undercapitalized" (i.e., a tangible capital ratio of 2% or less) is
subject to further mandatory restrictions on its activities in addition to those
applicable to significantly undercapitalized institutions. In addition, the OTS
must appoint a receiver (or conservator with the concurrence of the FDIC) for a
savings institution, with certain limited exceptions, within 90 days after it
becomes critically undercapitalized. Any undercapitalized institution is also
subject to the general enforcement authority of the OTS and the FDIC, including
the appointment of conservator or a receiver.
If the OTS determines that an institution is in an unsafe or unsound
condition or is engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice, it is authorized to
reclassify a well-capitalized institution as an adequately capitalized
institution and if the institution is adequately capitalized, to impose the
restrictions applicable to an undercapitalized institution. If the institution
is undercapitalized, the OTS is authorized to impose the restrictions applicable
to a significantly undercapitalized institution.
The imposition by the OTS or the FDIC of any of these measures on the
Bank may have a substantial adverse effect on the Bank's operations and
profitability. The Company's stockholders do not have preemptive rights, and
therefore, if the Company is directed by the OTS or the FDIC to issue additional
shares of Common Stock, such issuance may result in the dilution in the
percentage of ownership of the Company.
LIMITATIONS ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS
OTS regulations impose various restrictions on institutions with
respect to their ability to pay dividends or make other distributions of
capital. OTS regulations prohibit an institution from declaring or paying any
dividends or
- 32 -
33
from repurchasing any of its stock if, as a result, the regulatory capital of
the institution would be reduced below the amount required to be maintained for
the liquidation account established in connection with its mutual to stock
conversion.
Generally, institutions such as the Bank, that before and after the
proposed distribution meet their capital requirements, may make capital
distributions during any calendar year equal to the greater of 100% of net
income for the year-to-date plus 50% of the amount by which the lesser of the
institution's tangible, core or risk-based capital exceeds its fully phased-in
capital requirement for such capital component, as measured at the beginning of
the calendar year, or 75% of its net income for the most recent four quarter
period. However, an institution deemed to be in need of more than normal
supervision by the OTS may have its dividend authority restricted by the OTS.
The Bank may pay dividends in accordance with this general authority.
Savings institutions that will meet their current minimum capital
requirement following a proposed capital distribution need only submit written
notice to the OTS 30 days prior to such distribution. The OTS may object to the
distribution during the 30-day period based on safety and soundness concerns.
See "Regulatory Capital Requirements."
LIQUIDITY
All savings institutions, including the Bank, are required to maintain
an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to a certain percentage of the
sum of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and
borrowings payable in one year or less. The liquidity asset ratio requirement
may vary from time to time (between 4% and 10%) depending upon economic
conditions and savings flows of all savings institutions. At the present time,
the minimum liquid asset ratio is 4%, as changed during 1997.
During 1997, the OTS lowered the minimum liquid asset ratio from 5% to
4%, and changed the definition of "liquid assets" to include obligations of the
United States which have a remaining life greater than five years. This allows
the Bank to use substantially all of its investment security and mortgage-backed
security portfolios, which are not otherwise encumbered. The OTS also
discontinued the 1% short-term liquid asset requirement.
At December 31, 1997, the Bank was in compliance with the liquidity
ratio requirement, with a liquid asset ratio of 13.9%.
- 33 -
34
ACCOUNTING
An OTS policy statement applicable to all savings institutions
clarifies and reemphasizes that the investment activities of a savings
institution must be in compliance with approved and documented investment
policies and strategies, and must be accounted for in accordance with GAAP.
Under the policy statement, management must support its classification of and
accounting for loans and securities (i.e., whether held for investment,
available for sale or trading) with appropriate documentation. The Bank is in
compliance with these rules.
The OTS has adopted an amendment to its accounting regulations, which
may be made more stringent than GAAP, to require that transactions be reported
in a manner that best reflects their underlying economic substance and inherent
risk and that financial reports must incorporate any other accounting
regulations or orders prescribed by the OTS.
QUALIFIED THRIFT LENDER TEST
All savings institutions, including the Bank, are required to meet a
qualified thrift lender ("QTL") test to avoid certain restrictions on their
operations. This test requires a savings institution to have at least 65% of its
portfolio assets as defined by regulation in qualified thrift investments on a
monthly average for nine out of every 12 months on a rolling basis. Such assets
primarily consist of residential housing related loans and investments. At
December 31, 1997, the Bank met the test and has always met the test since its
inception.
Any savings institution that fails to meet the QTL test must convert to
a national bank charter, unless it requalifies as a QTL and thereafter remains a
QTL. If the institution does not requalify and converts to a national bank
charter, it must remain SAIF-insured until the FDIC permits it to transfer to
the Bank Insurance Fund. If an institution that fails the test has not yet
requalified and has not converted to a national bank, its new investments and
activities are limited to those permissible for both a savings institution and a
national bank, and it is limited to national bank branching rights in its home
state. In addition, the institution is immediately ineligible to receive any new
FHLB borrowings and is subject to national bank limits for payment of dividends.
If such institution has not requalified or converted to a national bank within
three years after the failure, it must divest of all investments and cease all
activities not permissible for a national bank. In addition, it must repay
promptly any outstanding FHLB borrowings, which may result in prepayment
penalties. If any institution that fails the QTL test is controlled by a holding
company, then within one year after the failure, the holding company must
register as a bank holding company and become subject to all restrictions on
bank holding companies. See "Holding Company Regulation."
- 34 -
35
COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT
Under the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA"), every FDIC insured
institution has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with safe and
sound banking practices to help meet the credit needs of its entire community,
including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish
specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it
limit an institution's discretion to develop the types of products and services
that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with
the CRA. The CRA requires the OTS, in connection with the examination of the
Bank, to assess the institution's record of meeting the credit needs of its
community and to take such record into account in its evaluation of certain
applications, such as a merger or the establishment of a branch, by the Bank. An
unsatisfactory rating may be used as the basis for the denial of an application
by the OTS.
The federal banking agencies, including the OTS, have recently revised
the CRA regulations and the methodology for determining an institution's
compliance with the CRA. Due to the heightened attention being given to the CRA
in the past few years, the Bank may be required to devote additional funds for
investment and lending in its local community. The Bank was examined for CRA
compliance in 1995 and received a rating of "Satisfactory".
HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION
The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to
regulatory oversight by the OTS. As such, the Company is required to register
and file reports with the OTS and is subject to regulation and examination by
the OTS. In addition, the OTS has enforcement authority over the Company and its
non-savings institution subsidiaries which also permits the OTS to restrict or
prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary
savings institution.
As a unitary savings and loan holding company, the Company generally is
not subject to activity restrictions. If the Company acquires control of another
savings institution as a separate subsidiary, it would become a multiple savings
and loan holding company, and the activities of the Company and any of its
subsidiaries (other than the Bank or any other SAIF-insured savings institution)
would become subject to such restrictions unless such other institutions each
qualify as a QTL and were acquired in a supervisory acquisition.
If the Bank fails the QTL test, the Company must obtain the approval of
the OTS prior to continuing after such failure, directly or through its other
subsidiaries, any business activity other than those approved for multiple
savings and loan holding companies or their subsidiaries. In addition, within
- 35 -
36
one year of such failure the Company must register as, and will become subject
to, the restrictions applicable to bank holding companies. The activities
authorized for a bank holding company are more limited than are the activities
authorized for a unitary or multiple savings and loan holding company. See "
Qualified Thrift Lender Test."
The Company must obtain approval from the OTS before acquiring control
of any other SAIF-insured institution. Such acquisitions are generally
prohibited if they result in a multiple savings and loan holding company
controlling savings institutions in more than one state. However, such
interstate acquisitions are permitted based on specific state authorization or
in a supervisory acquisition of a failing savings institution.
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to
maintain non-interest bearing reserves at specified levels against their
transaction accounts (primarily checking, NOW and Super NOW checking accounts).
At December 31, 1997, the Bank was in compliance with these reserve
requirements. The balances maintained to meet the reserve requirements imposed
by the Federal Reserve Board may be used to satisfy liquidity requirements that
may be imposed by the OTS. See "Liquidity."
Savings institutions are authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve
Bank "discount window," but Federal Reserve Board regulations require
institutions to exhaust other reasonable alternative sources of funds, including
FHLB borrowings, before borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM
The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Indianapolis, which is one of 12
regional FHLBs, that administer the home financing credit function of savings
institutions. Each FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank for its members
within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from
the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System. It makes loans to
members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established
by the board of directors of the FHLB. These policies and procedures are subject
to the regulation and oversight of the Federal Housing Finance Board. All
advances from the FHLB are required to be fully secured by sufficient collateral
as determined by the FHLB. In addition, all long-term advances are required to
provide funds for residential home financing.
As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the
FHLB of Indianapolis. At December 31, 1997, the Bank had $23.2 million in FHLB
stock, which was in compliance with this requirement. In past years,
- 36 -
37
the Bank has received substantial dividends on its FHLB stock. Over the past
five calendar years such dividends have averaged 7.56% and were 7.99% for
calendar year 1997.
Under federal law the FHLBs are required to provide funds for the
resolution of troubled savings institutions and to contribute to low- and
moderate priced housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on
advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate- income housing
projects. These contributions have affected adversely the level of FHLB
dividends paid and could continue to do so in the future. These contributions
could also have an adverse effect on the value of FHLB stock in the future. A
reduction in value of the Bank's FHLB stock may result in a corresponding
reduction in the Bank's capital.
For the year ended December 31, 1997, the dividends paid by the FHLB of
Indianapolis to the Bank totaled $1.6 million. The $447,000 dividend received
for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 reflects an annualized rate of 8.00%.
FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION
D&N and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return
on a calendar year basis using the accrual method of accounting.
Savings institutions, such as the Bank, were permitted to establish
reserves for bad debts and make annual additions thereto which could be taken as
a deduction in computing taxable income for federal income tax purposes. This
tax bad debt reserve method available to thrifts institutions was repealed for
tax years beginning after 1995. As a result, the Bank was required to change
from the reserve method to the specific charge-off method to compute its bad
debt deduction. Basically, repeal of the thrift bad debt reserve method puts
large thrifts, such as the Bank, on the tax method used by large commercial
banks.
Upon repeal, the Bank is required to recapture into income the portion
of its bad debt reserves (other than the supplemental reserve) that exceeds its
base year reserves (i.e. its tax reserves for the last tax year beginning before
1988). The recapture amount resulting from the change in the Bank's method of
accounting for its bad debt reserves is taken into taxable income ratably (on a
straight-line basis) over a six-year period.
The base year reserve is frozen, not forgiven. Certain events can still
trigger a recapture of the base year reserve. For example, while the base year
reserve will not be recaptured if the thrift converts to a bank charter or is
merged into a bank, it will be recaptured if the thrift ceases to qualify as a
bank for federal income tax purposes. The base year reserves also remain
- 37 -
38
subject to income tax penalty provisions which, in general, require recapture
upon certain stock redemptions of, and excess distributions to, shareholders.
In addition to the regular income tax, corporations, such as the
Company, generally are subject to a minimum tax. An alternative minimum tax is
imposed at a minimum tax rate of 20% on alternative minimum income, which is the
sum of a corporation's regular taxable income (with certain adjustments) and tax
preference items, less any available exemption. The alternative minimum tax is
imposed to the extent it exceeds the corporation's regular income tax and net
operating losses can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable
income.
D&N and its consolidated subsidiaries have been audited or their books
closed without audit by the IRS with respect to consolidated federal income tax
returns through December 31, 1993. With respect to years examined by the IRS,
either all deficiencies have been satisfied or sufficient reserves have been
established to satisfy asserted deficiencies. In the opinion of management, any
examination of open returns (including returns of subsidiaries and predecessors
of, or entities merged into, D&N) would not result in a deficiency which could
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of D&N and its
consolidated subsidiaries. See Note M of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
During the third quarter of 1996, the Bank recognized an adjustment to
its balance of deferred tax assets following the enactment in August of federal
legislation which resolved the recapture status of previously allowed
accelerated deductions for bad debts. Thrift institutions such as the Bank had
been permitted to deduct a portion of their income as bad debt allowances. This
practice was more advantageous than the specific-loss method of deduction which
was mandated for other classes of financial institutions. The opportunity to use
the percentage-of-income method expired in 1995, but the status of previously
accelerated deductions remained in question until the 1996 legislation was
enacted. The presence of unresolved prior deductions was felt to be hindrance to
evolution and consolidation of the financial services industry because thrift
institutions that had recorded such accelerated deductions were required to
repay them before charter conversions or acquisitions by non-thrift institutions
could be approved. The new legislation required that accelerated deductions
recorded after 1987 would have to be repaid, but forgave that portion of
institutions' accelerated loan loss deductions that were recorded before 1988.
MICHIGAN TAXATION. The State of Michigan imposes a tax on intangible
personal property in the amount of $.20 per $1,000 of deposits of a savings bank
or a savings and loan institution less deposits owed to the federal or Michigan
state governments, their agencies or certain other financial institutions. The
Michigan intangibles tax is being phased out over four years
- 38 -
39
until the tax is fully repealed effective January 1, 1998. The State of Michigan
also imposes a "Single Business Tax." The Single Business Tax is a value-added
type of tax for the privilege of doing business in the State of Michigan. The
major components of the Single Business Tax are federal taxable income,
compensation and depreciation as increased by net operating loss carryforwards,
if any, utilized in arriving at federal taxable income, and decreased by the
cost of acquisition of tangible assets during the year. The tax rate is 2.30% of
the Michigan adjusted tax base.
DELAWARE TAXATION. As a Delaware business corporation, the Company is
required to file annual returns with and pay annual fees to the State of
Delaware. The Company is also subject to an annual franchise tax imposed by the
State of Delaware based on the number of authorized shares of the Company stock.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
At December 31, 1997, the Bank operated through 37 full service
community banking offices, seven savings agency offices and four mortgage
banking offices. The net book value of the land, buildings and leasehold
improvements owned by D&N Bank at that date was $11,686,000, and the net book
value of its office furniture, fixtures and equipment was $4,936,000.
COMPUTER EQUIPMENT. D&N Bank processes all depositor and borrower
customer files and transactions through a third party data services provider
including general ledger accounting and information reporting. The book value of
all computer equipment and software owned by the Bank was $934,000 at December
31, 1997. The Bank also leases an insignificant amount of data processing
hardware and software.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is a defendant in a number of matters of litigation,
substantially all of which have arisen in the ordinary course of
business. It is the opinion of management that the resulting
liabilities, if any, from these actions will not materially affect
the Consolidated Financial Statements.
D&N Bank is a plaintiff, like approximately 120 other
institutions, in a currently pending claim in the United States
Court of Federal Claims seeking substantial damages as a result of
the 1989 Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement
Act's mandatory phase-out of the regulatory capital treatment of
supervisory goodwill. The ultimate outcome of these matters cannot
be ascertained at this time.
