Forward Looking Statements
     The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and about the Corporation and Bank. Words such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “expects”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “is likely”, “plans”, “projects”, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward- looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions (“Future Factors”) that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events (whether anticipated or unanticipated), or otherwise.
     Future Factors include changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in banking regulation; changes in tax laws; changes in prices, levies and assessments; the impact of technological advances; governmental and regulatory policy changes; the outcomes of contingencies; trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay loans; and changes in the national and local economy. These are representative of the Future Factors that could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement.
Item 1. Business
     Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a Michigan corporation, is a bank holding corporation owning all the common stock of the Community Bank of Dearborn (the “Bank”), a Michigan banking corporation which commenced business on February 28, 1994. The Bank is the only commercial bank headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan and conducts business primarily in Wayne, Macomb, Oakland and Washtenaw Counties, Michigan.
Background
     The liberalization of Michigan’s branch banking laws, together with the expansion of interstate banking, has led to substantial consolidation of the banking industry in Michigan, including within the county in which the Bank has its executive offices. In the past, several of the financial institutions within the primary market area of the Bank have either been acquired by or merged with larger financial institutions or out-of-state financial institutions. In some cases, when these consolidations occurred, local boards of directors were dissolved and local management relocated or in some cases terminated and has, in some cases, resulted in policy and credit decisions being centralized away from local management.
     In the opinion of the Corporation’s management, this situation has created a favorable opportunity for a local commercial bank with local management and directors. Management of the Corporation believes that such a bank attracts those customers who wish to conduct business with a locally managed institution that demonstrates an active interest in their business and personal financial affairs. The Corporation believes that a locally managed institution, in many cases, will be able to deliver more timely responses to customer requests, provide customized financial products and services and offer customers the personal attention of the Bank’s senior banking officers. The Bank seeks to take advantage of this opportunity by emphasizing in its marketing plan the Bank’s local management and the Bank’s ties and commitment to its market area.
     The Corporation was incorporated as a Michigan business corporation on September 30, 1992. The Corporation was formed to acquire all of the Bank’s issued and outstanding stock and to engage in the business of a bank holding corporation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “Act”).
     The executive offices of the Corporation and the Bank are located at 1360 Porter Street, Dearborn, Michigan 48124, telephone number (313) 565-5700. Currently, the website address is www.cbdear.com. Effective May 1, 2007, the website address will be www.fidbank.com.

The Bank, through its main office, branch offices and regional lending centers, emphasizes and offers highly personalized service to its customers.
     On January 4, 2007, the Corporation acquired Fidelity Financial Corporation of Michigan (Fidelity), a commercial bank with seven offices in Oakland County, Michigan. The acquisition will significantly expand the Bank’s presence in Oakland County, Michigan. Management believes that the acquisition will be beneficial to the Bank’s customers and the Corporation’s shareholders.
     The customer service officers are well-trained, experienced bank officers who fill the needs of the customers and handle the requests of their customers in a professional manner. The management of the Corporation and the Bank believe that it is important to the success of the Bank’s strategy to create long-term relationships between customers and Bank employees. The Bank’s senior management holds regular staff information meetings so that all employees are given information regarding the Bank’s plans and objectives, and employees are offered the opportunity to make suggestions to improve the Bank’s performance. The management of the Bank believes that this approach creates a commitment by all employees to the Bank’s success.
     The Bank offers a wide range of financial products and services. These include checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit, business checking, direct deposit, loan services (commercial, consumer, real estate mortgages), travelers’ checks, cashiers’ checks, wire transfers, safety deposit boxes, online banking, telephone banking, collection services, and night depository services. The Bank offers check imaging options including statements on CD ROM and online banking services to its customers.. The Bank does not have a trust department.
     On August 19, 1997, the Bank purchased a shell insurance agency and renamed the agency Community Bank Insurance Agency, Inc. Community Bank Insurance Agency’s primary functions are to act as the sales agent for the Corporation’s own insurance policies and to hold a minority interest in MBT Title Services, LLC, a title insurance company, which allows the Bank to offer title insurance to its customers.
     On May 1, 2001, the Bank formed Community Bank Mortgage, Inc., a mortgage company that originates, holds and sells commercial and residential mortgages.
     On March 26, 2002, the Bank formed Community Bank Audit Services, Inc., a company that provides internal audit and compliance consulting to other small community banks.

Business Strategy
     Grow Through Branch Expansion. Since commencing operations, our growth has mainly been accomplished internally. Our growth strategy is to create a commercial lending franchise concentrated in select communities. We expect to continue our historic pattern of expanding our footprint by adding offices in contiguous areas of our existing market and by filling gaps between our existing offices. Our planned opening of a new branch in Shelby Township, Michigan in the second quarter of 2007 is part of this strategy. We believe that the demographics and growth characteristics within the communities we serve should also provide significant opportunities for us to grow our loan and deposit relationships at our existing offices.
     Grow Through Selected Acquisitions. Another part of our growth strategy is to continue pursuing selected acquisitions. In 2004, we acquired the Bank of Washtenaw and have successfully completed its integration into our operations. We believe that we have the ability to integrate the operational and cultural aspects of other institutions given the acquisition experience of our management. We intend to focus on organizations that have already proven to be successful in their respective market areas, and where we believe integration risk to be low. Our acquisition of Fidelity on January 4, 2007 is consistent with this strategy.
     Emphasize Community Banking. We strive to maintain a strong commitment to community banking. Our goal is to attract small to medium-sized businesses, as well as individuals as customers who wish to conduct business with a local commercial bank that demonstrates an active interest in their business and personal affairs. We are becoming increasingly sophisticated in our ability to analyze our customer relationships, which increases our ability to recognize the opportunity to offer additional products and services that will expand each relationship. We believe our ability to deliver products and services in a highly personalized manner helps differentiate us from larger, regional banks operating in our market area.
     Hire Experienced, Local Bankers. Our strategy has revolved around the hiring of experienced, local banking professionals and relationship managers to run our offices, call on customers and originate loans and deposits. We encourage our employees to be active in community affairs and business, trade and service organizations. Our senior loan officers have an average of over 20 years of experience in the financial services industry and have operated in our market area through a wide range of economic cycles and lending market conditions. We believe that the recruitment of banking professionals with significant experience in, and knowledge of, our markets facilitates our growth and partially mitigates the credit risk associated with our rapidly growing loan portfolio.
     Capitalize on Consolidation in Our Market. Several of the financial institutions within our market area have either been acquired by, or merged with, larger or out-of-state financial institutions. These acquisitions have included: Royal Bank of Scotland Group, Plc’s acquisition of Charter One Financial, Inc., J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.’s acquisition of Bank One Corporation, ABN AMRO Holding N.V.’s acquisition of Michigan National Corporation, and Fifth Third Bancorp’s acquisition of Old Kent Financial Corporation. In some cases, when these consolidations occurred, the ensuing employee and customer disruptions created opportunities for us to attract experienced personnel and establish relationships with customers wishing to conduct business with a locally-managed institution with strong ties to the community. We have positioned ourselves to capitalize on business opportunities that may result from customer dislocation associated with these and future consolidations.
     Control Our Operating Costs. Our practice of employing fewer, but highly qualified and productive individuals at all levels of the organization is key to maintaining a decentralized management structure. These individuals are able to manage large loan portfolios, which increases interest income while controlling personnel costs. Additionally, to manage our growth in an efficient manner, we continue to enhance our operating procedures and in 2004 we opened an operations center in Allen Park, Michigan that consolidated many of our administrative and support functions. This facility houses our data processing, accounting, auditing, compliance and customer support activities.
     Focus on Commercial Real Estate Lending. While we offer a full range of consumer and commercial loan products, our primary lending focus will continue to be providing local businesses with loans secured by owner-occupied real estate. Typically, we seek commercial real estate lending relationships with customers borrowing from $500,000 to $4 million. Although our legal lending limit was approximately $13 million as of December 30, 2006, our Board of Directors has set our current in-house lending limit at $6 million. Our in-house limit accommodates the vast majority of lending opportunities we encounter. If local businesses have credit needs beyond the scope of our in-house lending capacity, we may participate out a portion of the credit with other financial institutions in order to accommodate our customers’ needs. As of December 31, 2006, commercial real estate loans comprised 72% of our loan portfolio.

Market Area
     Our current market area includes Wayne, Macomb, Washtenaw and Oakland Counties, which are all located in southeastern Michigan. We currently have offices in the following communities: Ann Arbor, Auburn Hills, Canton Township, Clinton Township, Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, Plymouth Township, Saline, and Southgate, Michigan. Our market area has a diverse economy based primarily on manufacturing, retail and service businesses and contains the headquarters for twenty-three Fortune 500 companies. According to 2000 U.S. Census Data, the populations of Wayne (excluding the City of Detroit), Macomb, Washtenaw and Oakland Counties totaled 3,414,967, while median household incomes for such counties were $50,848, $58,598, $59,069 and $69,794, respectively.
     Our market area represents a significant banking market in the State of Michigan. According to the FDIC, total deposits in Wayne (excluding the City of Detroit), Macomb, Washtenaw, and Oakland Counties, including those of banks and thrifts, were approximately $72.7 billion as of June 30, 2006, which accounted for approximately 47.7% of the total deposit market share in the State of Michigan and has increased approximately 43.9% from $50.5 billion in deposits as of June 30, 2000.
     Our acquisition of Fidelity on January 4, 2007 added seven offices in the Oakland County, Michigan communities of Birmingham, Bloomfield Township, Bingham Farms, and Southfield (4). Oakland County is one of the largest and most affluent counties in the United States. According to the most recent U.S. Census Data, out of 38 counties throughout the United States with a population over one million, Oakland County has the 4th highest per capita household income and is ranked 6th based on the percentage of its workforce employed in management, professional, and related occupations. In 2000, 45% of the workers in Oakland County were in management, professional, and related occupations, as compared to 32% and 34% for the State of Michigan and the United States, respectively. According to 2003 U.S. Census estimates, the median home value in Oakland County was $213,696, which is 57% and 53% above the median home values for the State of Michigan and United States, respectively. Additionally, based on 2005 U.S. Census estimates, Oakland County experienced the 4th largest population increase of any county in the State of Michigan from 2000 — 2005, and in 2005 was the 2nd largest county in the State of Michigan and the 31st largest county in the United States based on total population.
     Oakland County is a leading center of international commerce and foreign investment. According to the Oakland County Department of Planning and Economic Development, Oakland County exports over $10 billion in goods and services to 145 countries annually, and is ranked 9th among counties in the United States based on the number of manufacturing firms that export to foreign countries. Oakland County is also home to sixteen divisions, affiliates, or subsidiaries of the twenty largest foreign-owned companies operating in the Detroit metropolitan statistical area ranked by total company revenue.

Marketing Plan
     The Bank’s marketing plan focuses on the concepts of corporate citizenship and personal interaction within the communities the Bank serves through promotion of, and active participation in, a number of civic organizations and ongoing community activities. Management believes that these efforts establish the identity and philosophy of the Bank within the communities it serves and allow Bank officers and employees to personally interact with local business leaders and members of the public. The marketing plan also emphasizes direct sales calls by Bank officers and specific telemarketing programs involving the Bank’s branch managers and customer service representatives.
     The Bank has two primary target markets: consumer financial services, with an emphasis on individual deposit accounts, single family residential lending and home equity lending; and business financial services, with an emphasis on deposit and loan products designed for small- to medium-sized businesses.
     Community Club. At inception, the Bank established a “Community Club” which has become an important marketing tool to increase the Bank’s total deposits. The Community Club is targeted at individuals over the age of 50. As of December 31, 2006, the Community Club had over 7,200 members who accounted for total deposits of $216.0 million, or 34% of the Bank’s total deposits.
     Among other things, membership in the Community Club entitles the customer to increased personal attention and service by Bank staff and a 1/4% premium on new certificate of deposit accounts with a minimum $1,000 balance and one year maturity. The Bank also hosts local community events, educational seminars and travel programs which have been well received by the Community Club members. Management believes that the success of the Community Club and the Bank’s continued efforts to expand the benefits of the program will foster an increase in the number of Community Club members and deposit accounts.
     Business Financial Services. The Bank’s business marketing efforts are directed by senior management, including Michael J. Ross, Warren R. Musson, Stephen C. Tarczy and Jeffrey J. Wolber with Mr. Wolber assigned as sales manager, whose duties include administering and coordinating the business development efforts of the Bank. Subsequent to the acquisition of Fidelity on January 4, 2007, John A. Lindsey joined this group when he became Oakland Regional President.
     Each bank officer, in addition to each branch manager, is responsible for creating new business opportunities for the Bank. The targeted list of new business customers represents a mix of industrial, manufacturing, professional and retail clients with an emphasis on businesses with annual sales of $10 million or less.
     The Bank has developed an aggressive telemarketing program for new business. Businesses are identified through listings provided by the various Chambers of Commerce, local phone directories and other sources targeted to the communities the Bank serves. Initial sales calls are introductory in nature with follow-up calls made to determine whether a meeting can be arranged with the targeted company to discuss the Bank’s products and services. The Bank believes this strategy has been, and will continue to be, successful in generating new business for the Bank.
     In addition to its telemarketing program, the Bank’s officers maintain contact with local attorneys, accountants and other representatives in the local community that may be in a position to refer business to the Bank. The Bank also encourages and supports its officers and employees to join and participate in various community organizations and events.
     Through their many years of business and community leadership, each of the Corporation’s Directors has been, and will continue to be, a strong source of referrals for the Bank.
     Consumer Financial Services. The Bank originates residential real estate loans primarily through its retail branch facilities. Branch managers and mortgage loan originators develop new residential mortgage applications from several sources including real estate brokers, insurance agents, accountants, attorneys, existing residential mortgage customers and other customers of the Bank. An extensive telemarketing effort generates potential customers as a result of these contacts. Additionally, the Bank has developed targeted real estate newsletters that are mailed to an existing database composed of those referral sources. The Bank also maintains an active role in several local real estate boards offering product training to members.
     The Bank, as a result of its secondary market operations, is able to offer a variety of loan products that serve the needs of first time home buyers. Customers desiring to construct new homes are able to obtain financing as a result of the Bank’s construction loan program that is offered in addition to the permanent loan. Non-conforming loans, which include larger residential loans, are also provided through the Bank’s secondary marketing efforts. The Bank also provides loans that it holds in its own portfolio on those transactions that evidence satisfactory credit quality and income but are unable to be sold in the secondary market for various reasons.
     Management believes that cross-selling of the Bank’s products and services to its existing customers is vital to expanding account relationships, generating additional sales opportunities and increasing fee income.

Loan Policy
     As a routine part of the Bank’s business, the Bank makes loans to individuals and businesses located within the Bank’s market area. The loan policy of the Bank states that the function of the lending operation is two-fold: to provide a means for the investment of funds at a profitable rate of return with an acceptable degree of risk, and to meet the credit needs of the responsible businesses and individuals who are customers of the Bank. However, the Board of Directors of the Bank recognizes that in the normal business of lending, some losses on loans will be inevitable and should be considered a part of the normal cost of doing business. Under the loan policy, individual lending authority for loans in excess of $100,000 is granted to a limited number of officers, each of whom has over 25 years of banking experience. Currently this group includes Michael J. Ross and Warren R. Musson. They are authorized to lend up to $100,000 unsecured and $1,000,000 for collateralized loans.
     The Bank’s loan policy anticipates that priorities in extending loans will change from time to time as interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors change. The policy sets forth guidelines on a nondiscriminatory basis for lending in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The policy describes various criteria in granting loans, including the ability to pay; the character of the customer; evidence of financial responsibility; purpose of the loan; knowledge of collateral and its value; terms of repayment; source of repayment; payment history; and economic conditions.
     The loan policy specifies individual lending limits for certain officers up to a maximum of $25,000 for unsecured loans and $100,000 for secured loans. When certain officers have the approval of certain other officers, these limits may be increased to $100,000 for unsecured loans and $500,000 for secured loans. Loans of greater than $500,000 require the approval of our Loan Committee and loans greater than $1,000,000 require the approval of our Executive Loan Committee. Loans in excess of $6,000,000 up to the legal maximum authorized by law require the approval of our Board of Directors.
     The loan policy also limits the amount of funds that may be loaned against specified types of collateral including: listed securities — not greater than 80% loan to value; U.S. Government securities — not greater than 90% loan to value; and insured bank deposits — not greater than 100% loan to value. As to loans secured principally by real estate, the policy complies with the FIRREA Act of 1989 regarding appraisals of the property offered as collateral by licensed independent appraisers. The loan policy also provides general guidelines as to collateral, provides for environmental reviews, contains specific limitations with respect to loans to employees, executive officers and directors, provides for problem loan identification, establishes a policy for the maintenance of a loan loss reserve, provides for loan reviews and sets forth policies for mortgage lending and other matters relating to the Bank’s lending business.

Lending Practices
     Commercial Loans. Our commercial lending group originates commercial loans primarily in Wayne, Macomb, Oakland and Washtenaw Counties in southeastern Michigan. Commercial loans are originated by a group of lending officers with the assistance of Michael J. Ross and Warren R. Musson. Loans are originated for general business purposes, including working capital, accounts receivable financing, machinery and equipment acquisition, and commercial real estate financing including new construction and land development.
     Working capital loans are often structured as a line of credit and are reviewed periodically in connection with the borrower’s year-end financial reporting. These loans generally are secured by all of the assets of the borrower, a personal guaranty of the owners and have an interest rate plus a margin tied to the national prime rate. Loans for machinery and equipment purposes typically have a maturity of five to seven years and are fully amortizing. Commercial real estate loans are usually written with a five-year maturity and are amortized over a fifteen to twenty-year period. Commercial real estate loans may have an interest rate that is fixed to maturity or float with a margin over the prime rate or another index. Fixed rate loans typically contain a pre-payment premium.
     We evaluate all aspects of a commercial loan transaction in order to minimize credit and interest rate risk. Underwriting includes an assessment of management, products, markets, cash flow, capital, income and collateral. The analysis includes a review of historical and projected financial results. Appraisals are obtained by licensed independent appraisers who are well known to us on transactions involving real estate and, in some cases, equipment.
     Commercial real estate lending involves more risk than residential lending, because loan balances are greater and repayment is dependent upon the borrower’s operations. We attempt to minimize risk associated with these transactions by limiting our exposure to existing well-known customers and new customers with an established profitable history. Risk is further reduced by limiting the concentration of credit to any one borrower as well as the type of commercial real estate financed.
     Residential Real Estate Loans. Our subsidiary, Community Bank Mortgage, Inc. originates residential real estate loans in its market area according to secondary market underwriting standards. These loans provide borrowers with a fixed interest rate with terms up to thirty years. Loans are sold on a servicing released basis in the secondary market with all interest rate risk and credit risk passed to the purchaser. Community Bank Mortgage, Inc. from time to time may elect to underwrite certain residential real estate loans to be held in its own loan portfolio. These loans are generally underwritten with the same standards that apply to the secondary market. The majority of the portfolio loans have a fixed rate of interest for the first five years, then the interest rate is indexed to the one-year treasury rate and adjusts annually.
     Consumer Loans. We originate consumer loans for a wide variety of personal financial requirements. Consumer loans include home equity lines of credit, and loans secured by new and used automobiles, boats, savings accounts as well as overdraft protection for checking account customers. We also purchase retail installment loans from a select list of automobile dealerships located primarily in our market.
     Consumer loans, except for home equity lines of credit, generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than residential mortgage loans and usually involve more credit risk than mortgage loans because of the type and nature of the collateral. While we do not utilize a formal credit scoring system, we believe our loans are underwritten carefully, with a strong emphasis on the amount of the down payment, credit quality, employment stability, and monthly income. These loans are generally repaid on a monthly repayment schedule with the source of repayment tied to the borrower’s periodic income. In addition, consumer lending collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and are thus likely to be adversely affected by job loss, illness and personal bankruptcy. In many cases, repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan will not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance because of depreciation of the underlying collateral. We believe that the generally higher yields earned on consumer loans compensate for the increased credit risk associated with such loans and that consumer loans are important to our efforts to serve the credit needs of the communities and customers that we serve.

     Allowance for Loan Losses. An allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that we consider adequate to provide for losses in the loan portfolio. Allowances for loan losses are based upon our experience and estimates of the net realizable value of collateral in each loan portfolio. Our Board of Directors and senior management review the allowance quarterly. Our evaluation takes into consideration experience, the level of classified assets, non-performing loans, the current level of the allowance as it relates to the total loan portfolio, current economic conditions, recent regulatory examinations and other factors.
     In determining the allowance for loan losses, we consider three principal elements: (i) specific allocations based on probable losses identified during the review of the loan portfolio, (ii) allocations based principally on historical loan loss experience, and (iii) additional allowances based on subjective factors, including local and general economic business factors and trends, portfolio concentrations and changes in the size, mix and/or general terms of the loan portfolios.
     The first element reflects our estimate of probable losses based upon our systematic review of specific loans. These estimates are based upon a number of objective factors, such as payment history, financial condition of the borrower, and discounted collateral exposure.
     As further discussed below, we have developed a risk rating system that is applied to our commercial loan portfolio. Loans rated 5 or higher are deemed “classified”. Classified loans with a balance of $500,000 or greater are subject to specific review to determine whether they are impaired, as defined by FAS 114. Portions of our allowance are assigned to individual loans based on this analysis.
     Loans graded 4 or better and homogeneous mortgage and consumer loans are provided for in the allowance for loan losses computation by allocations based upon loan grade and type. These allocations include consideration of a variety of objective and subjective factors including our historical loss experience, delinquent status, the purpose and size of the loan, its collateral type, the current economic environment and other business factors and trends that we believe impact the ability of our borrowers to repay their obligations.
     Delinquent Loans, Non-performing Assets and Classified Assets. When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, our Bank attempts to cause the deficiency to be cured by contacting the borrower. In most cases, deficiencies are cured promptly as a result of these collection efforts.
     When a borrower fails to make a timely payment, the borrower will receive a delinquency notice within 15 days of the due date. When the payment reaches 30 days past due, a second notice will be sent and a phone call will be made. In most cases, delinquencies are paid promptly. Generally, if a real estate loan becomes 90 days delinquent, the borrower and collateral will be assessed to determine whether foreclosure action is required. When deemed appropriate by management, a foreclosure action will be instituted or a deed in lieu of foreclosure will be pursued.
     Loans that are 90 days past due and are not well secured and in the process of collection will be placed on non-accrual status. Under-collateralized loans that are 90 days past due will be fully or partially charged-off. The amount charged-off will be charged against the loan loss allowance.
     Our Bank has developed a risk-rating system to quantify loan quality. The system assigns a risk rating from 1 to 9 for each loan. Classified loans are those with risk ratings of 5 or higher. Each loan rating is determined by analyzing the borrowers’ management, financial ability, sales trends, operating results, financial conditions, asset protection, contingencies, payment history, financial flexibility, credit enhancements and other relevant factors. Loans that fall into the classified categories are monitored on a regular basis and proper action is taken to minimize our bank’s exposure. Losses or partial losses will be taken when they are recognized.

Table of Contents

     Our Bank’s risk rating system is similar to that used by regulatory agencies. Problem assets are classified as “substandard” (risk rating 7), “doubtful” (risk rating 8) or “loss” (risk rating 9). “Substandard” assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. “Doubtful” assets have the same weaknesses as “substandard” assets, with the additional characteristics that (i) the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable and (ii) there is a high possibility of loss. An asset classified “loss” is considered uncollectible and of such little value that its continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. The regulations also contain “special mention” (risk rating 6) and “watch credit” (risk rating 5) categories, consisting of assets which do not currently expose an institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification but which possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management’s close attention.
     Generally, our Bank classifies as “substandard” all loans that are delinquent more than 90 days, unless management believes the delinquency status is short-term due to unusual circumstances. Loans delinquent fewer than 90 days may also be classified if the loans have the characteristics described above rendering classification appropriate.
     The aggregate amounts of our Bank’s classified assets at December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
                     
        December 31,     December 31,  
    Rating   2006     2005  
Watch credit

Loss
  9            
 
               
Total classified assets
      $ 54,315     $ 14,636  
 
               
     Classified assets increased $39.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2006. The economic slowdown in our market area has resulted in an increase in the number and dollar amount of classified loans. We analyze loans graded 5 or higher individually for impairment. Many of these loans are performing and well collateralized but exhibit characteristics that make downgrading the loan appropriate. At December 31, 2006, classified assets had an allocated allowance of $1.8 million.
     The increase in delinquent accruing loans during the year ended December 31, 2006 is primarily due to the worsening payment status of one commercial real estate construction loan, one commercial real estate mortgage loan and two commercial loans with a balance of $3,732,000. The increase in non-accrual loans during the year ended December 31, 2006 is primarily due to the downgrading of one commercial real estate construction and eight commercial real estate mortgage loans with a balance of $4,843,000 to non-accrual status. An impairment analysis was completed on these loans resulting in a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses to these loans of $688,000 at December 31, 2006. We continue to work to collect these loans as they are all secured by real estate which we believe will have significant value, even in liquidation.
     The following table reflects the amount of loans in delinquent status as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 (dollars in thousands):
                 
    December 31,     December 31,

Deposits and Other Services
     Deposits. We offer a broad range of deposit services, including checking, savings, and money market accounts, certificates of deposit and direct deposit services. Transaction accounts and certificates of deposit are tailored to our primary market area at rates competitive with those offered in our area. All deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC up to the maximum amount permitted by law. We solicit deposit accounts from individuals, businesses, associations, financial institutions and government entities.
     Other Services. We offer a courier service for the deposit convenience of our business customers. We also offer a voice response, automated telephone banking service, available 24 hours a day and check imaging options including statements on CD ROM.
Investments
     Our principal investments are our investment in the common stock of our Bank and the common securities of the trust. Our funds may be invested from time to time in various debt instruments, including obligations of or guaranteed by the United States, general obligations of a state or political subdivision or an agency of a state or political subdivision, banker’s acceptances or certificates of deposit of United States commercial banks, or commercial paper of United States issuers rated in the highest category by a nationally-recognized investment rating service. We are permitted to make unlimited portfolio investments in equity securities and to make equity investments in subsidiary corporations engaged in certain non-banking activities, including real estate-related activities such as mortgage banking, community development, real estate appraisals, arranging equity financing for commercial real estate, and owning and operating real estate used substantially by our Bank or acquired for its future use. However, we have no present plans to make any of these equity investments. Our Board of Directors may alter our investment policy at any time without stockholder approval.
     Our Bank may invest its funds in a wide variety of debt instruments and may participate in the federal funds market with other depository institutions. Subject to certain exceptions, our Bank is prohibited from investing in equity securities. Under one exception, in certain circumstances and with the prior approval of the FDIC, our Bank could invest up to 10% of its total assets in the equity securities of a subsidiary corporation engaged in the acquisition and development of real property for sale, or the improvement of real property by construction or rehabilitation of residential or commercial units for sale or lease. Our Bank has no present plans to make such an investment. Real estate acquired by our Bank in satisfaction of or foreclosure upon loans may be held by our Bank. Our Bank is also permitted to invest in such real estate as is necessary for the convenient transaction of its business. Our Bank’s Board of Directors may alter the investment policy without stockholder approval at any time.
Employees
     As of December 31, 2006, the Bank had 161 employees, including 53 officers and 108 customer service, operations and other support persons. Management believes that the Bank’s relations with its employees are excellent.
     Subsequent to the acquisition of Fidelity on January 4, 2007, the Bank employed 67 former Fidelity employees, including 14 officers and 53 customer service, operations and other support persons.
Competition
     The Bank faces strong competition for deposits, loans and other financial services from numerous banks, savings banks, thrifts, credit unions and other financial institutions as well as other entities which provide financial services, including consumer finance companies, securities brokerage firms, mortgage brokers, insurance companies, mutual funds, and other lending sources and investment alternatives. Some of the financial institutions and financial services organizations with which the Bank competes are not subject to the same degree of regulation as the Bank. Many of the financial institutions and financial services organizations aggressively compete for business in the Bank’s market area. Most of these competitors have been in business for many years, have established customer bases, are larger, have substantially higher lending limits than the Bank, and are able to offer certain services that the Bank does not currently provide, including more extensive branch networks, trust services, and international banking services. In addition, most of these entities have greater capital resources than the Bank, which, among other things, may allow them to price their services at levels more favorable to the customer and to provide larger credit facilities than could the Bank. Additionally, legislation regarding interstate branching and banking may increase competition in the future from out-of-state banks.

The Corporation is required to file with the Federal Reserve annual reports and such other information as the Federal Reserve may require under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “Act”). The Corporation and the Bank are each subject to examination by the Federal Reserve.
     The Act requires every bank holding company to obtain prior approval of the Federal Reserve before it may merge with or consolidate into another bank holding company, acquire substantially all assets of any bank, or acquire ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank, if after such acquisition, it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank holding company or bank. The Federal Reserve may in its discretion approve the acquisition by the Corporation of the voting shares or substantially all assets of a bank located in Michigan and, subject to certain restrictions, located in any other state.
     The Act also prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank, and from engaging in any business other than that of banking, managing and controlling banks and their subsidiaries. Holding companies may engage in, and may own shares of companies engaged in, certain businesses found by the Federal Reserve to be closely related to banking or the management or control of banks. Under current regulations of the Federal Reserve, a holding company and its non-bank subsidiaries are permitted to engage in investment management, sales and consumer finance, equipment leasing, data processing, discount securities brokerage, mortgage banking and brokerage, and other activities. These activities are subject to certain limitation imposed by the regulations.
     Transactions between the Corporation and the Bank are subject to various restrictions imposed by state and federal law. Such transactions include loans and other extensions of credit, purchases of securities, any payments of fees and other distributions. Federal law places restrictions on the amount and nature of loans to executive officers, directors and controlling persons of banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and holding companies controlling such banks.
     The Bank is a state chartered bank and subject to regulation and examination by the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Services. The Bank also is subject to certain provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and regulations issued under that act.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
     The following risk factors could affect our business, financial conditions or results of operations. These risk factors should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report because they could cause the actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. Before you buy our common stock, you should know that investing in our common stock involves risks, including the risks described below. The risks that are highlighted are not the only ones we face. If the adverse matters referred to in any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or operations could be adversely affected.
We may experience greater than expected difficulties in integrating Fidelity into our operations resulting in our inability to realize the expected benefits and cost savings from the acquisition.
     The acquisition of Fidelity will involve the integration of two financial institutions that have previously operated independently of one another. Management expects to realize cost savings together with other financial and operating benefits from the acquisition of Fidelity, but there can be no assurance as to when, or the extent to which, if at all, the Corporation will be able to realize these benefits. The Corporation may experience greater than expected difficulties in integrating Fidelity’s business, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to realize the expected benefits of the acquisition.
     There are many things that could go wrong and adversely affect the business and profitability of the combined financial institution. We cannot predict the full range of post-acquisition problems that may occur. Some possible difficulties include:
    the integration of the business of the Corporation and Fidelity takes longer, or is more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected;
 
    the expected growth opportunities and cost savings from the transaction are not fully realized or take longer to realize than expected;
 
    economic conditions deteriorate in southeastern Michigan, the primary market of both the Corporation and Fidelity; or
 
    operating costs, customer losses, and business disruption following the acquisition, including adverse effects on relationships with employees, are greater than expected.
     Because Fidelity is a private company, it is not subject to the public reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting, including those required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If we are unable to integrate Fidelity’s internal controls with our own before the end of 2007, we may have to exclude Fidelity from our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and that, in turn, could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and could adversely effect our stock price.
Adverse economic conditions in the automobile manufacturing and related service industries may impact our banking business.
     The automobile manufacturing industry has experienced significant economic difficulties over the past five years, which, in turn, has adversely impacted a number of related industries that serve the automobile manufacturing industry, including automobile parts suppliers. Recently, Delphi Corporation and Collins & Aikman Corporation, two automobile suppliers located in our banking market, declared bankruptcy, and a number of other companies serving the automobile industry and located in our banking market are facing ongoing economic pressures. We cannot assure you that the economic conditions in the automobile manufacturing and related service industries will improve at any time in the foreseeable future or that adverse economic conditions in these industries will not impact our Bank.

Table of Contents

Adverse changes in economic conditions or interest rates may negatively affect our earnings, capital and liquidity.
     The results of operations for financial institutions, including our bank, may be materially and adversely affected by changes in prevailing local and national economic conditions, including declines in real estate market values and the related declines in value of our real estate collateral, rapid increases or decreases in interest rates and changes in the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government. Our profitability is heavily influenced by the spread between the interest rates we earn on investments and loans and the interest rates we pay on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Substantially all our loans are to businesses and individuals in southeastern Michigan, and any decline in the economy of this area could adversely affect our customers’ ability to repay such loans and our ability to make new loans to credit worthy borrowers. Like most banking institutions, our net interest spread and margin will be affected by general economic conditions and other factors that influence market interest rates and our ability to respond to changes in these rates. At any given time, our assets and liabilities will be such that they will be affected differently by a given change in interest rates.
Our credit losses could increase and our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual loan losses resulting in a decrease in our net income and earnings per share and a possible decline in our stock price.
     The risk of non-payment of loans is inherent in all lending activities, and non-payment, if it occurs, may have a materially adverse effect on our earnings and overall financial condition as well as the value of our common stock. Our focus on commercial lending may result in an increased concentration of loans to small businesses. As a result, we may assume greater lending risks than other banks. We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of our loan portfolio and provide an allowance for losses based on several factors. If our assumptions are wrong, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover our losses, which would have an adverse effect on our operating results. While we have not experienced any significant charge-offs or had large numbers of non-performing loans, due to the significant increase in loans originated since we began operations we cannot assure you that we will not experience an increase in delinquencies and losses as these loans continue to mature. The actual amount of future provisions for loan losses cannot be determined at this time and may exceed the amount of past provisions. Additions to our allowance for loan losses decrease our net income and earnings per share and may have an adverse effect on our stock price.
Our commercial real estate loans involve higher principal amounts than other loans, and repayment of these loans may be dependent on factors outside our control or the control of our borrowers.
     Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and the repayment of these loans generally is dependent, in large part, on sufficient income from the properties securing the loans to cover operating expenses and debt service. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate often depend upon the successful operating and management of the properties, repayment of these loans may be affected by factors outside the borrower’s control, including adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. If the cash flow from the property is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan and the value of the security for the loan may be impaired. At December 31, 2006, commercial real estate loans totaled $546 million, or 72% of our total loan portfolio. Because our loan portfolio contains a number of commercial real estate loans with relatively large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in our percentage of non-performing loans. An increase in non-performing loans could result in a loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for loan losses and an increase in charge-offs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our growth and expansion may be limited by many factors.
     We have pursued and intend to continue to pursue an internal growth strategy, the success of which will depend primarily on generating an increasing level of loans and deposits at acceptable risk and interest rate levels without commensurate increases in non-interest expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in continuing our growth strategy due to delays and other impediments resulting from regulatory oversight, limited availability of qualified personnel, or unavailability of branch sites. The time and costs of evaluating new markets, hiring experienced local management and opening new offices and the time lags between these activities and the generation of sufficient assets and deposits to support the costs of the expansion may negatively affect our business. In addition, the success of our growth strategy will depend on maintaining sufficient regulatory capital levels and on adequate economic conditions in our market area.

Table of Contents

     In addition to the acquisition of Fidelity, we continually seek to acquire other financial institutions or parts of those institutions. Acquisitions and mergers involve a number of risks, including:
    the time and costs associated with identifying and evaluating potential acquisitions and merger partners may negatively affect our business;
 
    the estimates and judgments used to evaluate credit, operations, management and market risks with respect to the target institution may not be accurate;
 
    we may not be able to finance an acquisition without diluting our existing stockholders;
 
    the diversion of our management’s attention to the negotiation of a transaction may detract from their business productivity;
 
    we may enter into new markets where we lack experience;
 
    we may introduce new products and services into our business with which we have no prior experience; and
 
    we may incur an impairment of goodwill associated with an acquisition and experience adverse short-term effects on our results of operations.
     In addition, no assurance can be given that we will be able to integrate our operations after an acquisition without encountering difficulties including, without limitation, the loss of key employees and customers, the disruption of our respective ongoing businesses or possible inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies. Successful integration of our operations with another entity’s will depend primarily on our ability to consolidate operations, systems and procedures, to establish appropriate internal controls, and to eliminate redundancies and costs. If we have difficulties with the integration, we might not achieve the economic benefits we expect to result from any particular acquisition or merger. In addition, we may experience greater than expected costs or difficulties relating to such integration.
We rely heavily on our management and other key personnel, and the loss of any of them may adversely affect our operations.
     We are and will continue to be dependent upon the services of our management team, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our other senior managers. Losing one or more key members of the management team could adversely affect our operations. We do not have employment contracts or key man life insurance on any of our officers or directors, other than Mr. Ross.
     In addition, we will continue to depend on our key commercial loan officers. We have several commercial loan officers who are responsible, or share responsibility, for generating and managing a significant portion of our commercial loan portfolio. Our success can be attributed in large part to the relationships these officers as well as members of our management team have developed and are able to maintain with our customers as we continue to implement our community banking philosophy. The loss of any of these commercial loan officers could adversely affect our loan portfolio and performance, and our ability to generate new loans.
     Some of the other financial institutions in our market require their key employees to sign agreements that preclude or limit their ability to leave their employment and compete with them or solicit their customers. These agreements make it more difficult for us to hire loan officers with experience in our market who can immediately solicit their former or new customers on our behalf.

Our future success is dependent on our ability to compete effectively in the highly competitive banking industry.
     We face substantial competition in all phases of our operations from a variety of different competitors. Our future growth and success will depend on our ability to compete effectively in this highly competitive environment. We compete for deposits, loans and other financial services with numerous Michigan-based and out-of-state banks, thrifts, credit unions and other financial institutions as well as other entities that provide financial services. Some of the financial institutions and financial service organizations with which we compete are not subject to the same degree of regulation as we are. Most of our competitors have been in business for many years, have established customer bases, are larger, have substantially higher lending limits than we do and offer other services which we do not, including trust services, brokerage, mutual funds and international banking services. The primary competitors in our market area are JPMorganChase, Charter One Bank, N.A., Comerica Incorporated, Fifth Third Bancorp, National City Corporation and LaSalle Bank Midwest National Association. Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, effective March 11, 2000, securities firms and insurance companies that elect to become financial holding companies may acquire banks and other financial institutions. The financial services industry is also likely to become more competitive as further technological advances enable more companies to provide financial services. These technological advances may diminish the importance of depository institutions and other financial intermediaries in the transfer of funds between parties.
Growth and stockholder returns may be adversely affected if sources of capital are not available to help us meet them.
     Since inception, we have sought to maximize stockholder returns by leveraging our capital. While we believe that earnings from our operations will enable us to continue to grow for the next two to three years, if earnings do not meet our current estimates, if we incur unanticipated losses or expenses, or if we grow faster than expected, we may need to obtain additional capital through borrowing, additional issuances of debt or equity securities, or otherwise. If we do not have continued access to sufficient capital, we may be required to reduce our level of assets or reduce our rate of growth in order to maintain regulatory compliance. Under those circumstances our net income and the rate of growth of our net income may be adversely affected.
We are subject to significant government regulation, and any regulatory changes may adversely affect us.
     The banking industry is heavily regulated under both federal and state law. These regulations are primarily intended to protect customers, not our creditors or stockholders. As a bank holding company, we are also subject to extensive regulation by the Federal Reserve Board, in addition to other regulatory and self- regulatory organizations. Our ability to establish new facilities or make acquisitions is conditioned upon the receipt of the required regulatory approvals from these organizations. Regulations affecting banks and financial services companies undergo continuous change, and we cannot predict the ultimate effect of these changes, which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability or financial condition.
We continually encounter technological change, and we may have fewer resources than our competitors to continue to invest in technological improvements.
     The banking industry is undergoing technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. In addition to better serving customers, the effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce costs. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands for convenience as well as creating additional efficiencies in our operations. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively acquire and implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our customers.

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and the laws of Michigan contain provisions that may discourage or prevent a takeover of the Corporation and reduce any takeover premium.
     Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, and the corporate laws of the State of Michigan, include provisions which are designed to provide our board of directors with time to consider whether a hostile takeover offer is in our and our stockholders’ best interest. These provisions, however, could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control. The provisions also could diminish the opportunities for a holder of our common stock to participate in tender offers, including tender offers at a price above the then-current market price for our common stock. These provisions could also prevent transactions in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices, and may limit the ability of our stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests.
     The Michigan Business Corporation Act contains provisions intended to protect stockholders and prohibit or discourage various types of hostile takeover activities. In addition to these provisions and the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, federal law requires the Federal Reserve Board’s approval prior to acquiring “control” of a bank holding company. All of these provisions may delay or prevent a change in control without action by our stockholders, and could adversely affect the price of our common stock.
There is a limited trading market for our common stock.
     The price at which our common stock is offered in this offering may be greater than the market price for our common stock following the offering. The price of our common stock has been, and will continue to be, subject to fluctuations based on, among other things, economic and market conditions for bank holding companies and the stock market in general, as well as changes in investor perceptions of the company. This issuance of new shares of our common stock also may adversely affect the market for our common stock.
     Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “DEAR”. The development and maintenance of an active public trading market depends upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers, the presence of which is beyond our control. While we are a publicly-traded company, the volume of trading activity in our stock is still relatively limited. Even if a more active market develops, there can be no assurance that such a market will continue, or that our stockholders will be able to sell their shares at or above the offering price.
The number of shares owned by our directors and executive officers could make it more difficult to obtain approval for some matters submitted to stockholder vote, including mergers and acquisitions.
     As of March 1, 2007, our directors and executive officers and their affiliates own approximately 18% of the outstanding common stock
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
We have received no written comments regarding our periodic or current reports from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission that were issued 180 days or more before the end of our 2006 fiscal year and that remain unresolved.

2 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS DEARBORN BANCORP, INC. Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. (the "Parent Company" and, together with its subsidiary, the "Corporation") is a registered bank holding company which was incorporated on September 30, 1992. The primary purpose of the holding company is to own and operate the subsidiary bank, Community Bank of Dearborn (the "Bank"). Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. trades on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "DEAR". COMMUNITY BANK OF DEARBORN The Bank was incorporated on June 28, 1993 and began operations as a state chartered commercial bank on February 28, 1994 from its main office located on Michigan Avenue in Dearborn. Subsequently, branch offices were opened in Dearborn Heights, Plymouth Township, Canton Township, Clinton Township and Auburn Hills. The Bank consolidated the three branches of the Bank of Washtenaw, acquired by the Corporation on October 29, 2004 into the Bank's operations. This consolidation included a branch office in Saline, Michigan, a branch office in Ann Arbor, Michigan and a regional lending center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Bank offers a wide range of financial products and services. These include checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit, business checking, direct deposit, ATM services, telephone banking services, loan services (commercial, consumer, real estate mortgages), travelers' checks, cashiers' checks, wire transfers, safe deposit boxes, collection services, night depository service and internet banking services. The Bank does not have a trust department. In 2005, the Bank introduced its website, www.cbdear.com, with online banking capabilities to the public. The Bank's customers are able to execute transfers to their accounts and view their account information and transactions. Commercial customers have the option of utilizing the cash management module. This feature enables commercial customers to designate multiple users, initiate wire transfers, process ACH transactions, perform stop payments, and process federal tax payments. During its first year of operation, over 1,000 users have signed up for online banking. The website also contains product information regarding the Bank's loan and deposit products and the Corporation's most recent financial information. In 2006, the Corporation entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Fidelity Financial Corporation of Michigan (Fidelity) for $70.5 Million. The acquisition to be financed by the sale of the Corporation's common stock. On November 10, 2006, the Corporation completed the sale of 2,918,250 shares of common stock at $20.00 per share. The shares were sold in a firm commitment underwritten offering lead managed by Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. and co-managed by Howe Barnes Hoefer & Arnett, Inc. The Corporation received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $55.1 million. On January 4, 2007, the Corporation completed the acquisition of Fidelity. For additional information regarding the acquisition of Fidelity, refer to Note T. COMMUNITY BANK INSURANCE AGENCY, INC. On August 19, 1997, the Bank formed Community Bank Insurance Agency, Inc. This company conducts limited insurance-related activities and holds a minority interest in MBT Title Services, LLC, a title insurance company. COMMUNITY BANK MORTGAGE, INC. On May 1, 2001, the Bank formed Community Bank Mortgage, Inc., a mortgage company that originates, sells and holds commercial and residential mortgage loans. COMMUNITY BANK AUDIT SERVICES, INC. On March 13, 2002, the Bank formed Community Bank Audit Services, Inc., a company that offers internal auditing and compliance services to financial institutions. 3 To Our Stockholders: We are filled with what we consider justifiable pride as we report on another solid performance by our Company during 2006. Once again, our net income reached a new record high while our total assets were growing by more than 20%. Moreover, we reached an agreement to make the largest acquisition in our history and completed a highly successful stock offering to finance the transaction. Because of all this, we closed the year just four days away from becoming a $1+ billion banking company. To put this accomplishment into perspective, recall that Community Bank of Dearborn opened for business on February 28, 1994, with one office, no deposits, no loans and just $7 million in total assets. Net income for the past year was $7,819,000 or $1.17 per fully diluted common share, 4.1 percent more than in 2005 when our earnings were $7,510,000 or $1.20 per diluted share. During the year, total assets went up by 21.2 percent to $855,931,000 while they had been $706,497,000 at the end of 2005. Total deposits grew 8.7 percent, going to $633,216,000 from $582,438,000. Total loans increased by 15.1 percent. They were $756,420,000 at year-end compared to $657,037,000 at the beginning of the year. Stockholders' equity was $144,985,000 at December 31 while it had been $84,213,000 one year earlier. It should be noted, however, that we sold approximately 2,900,000 additional shares of common stock at $20 per share in the Fourth Quarter of the year, accounting for most of the increase. Without a doubt, the single most important fact affecting our profitability in 2006 was the "disappearing yield curve." This has been a problem not just for us but for all banking companies, large and small, that depend upon loans and investments for most of their income. Banks borrow from their depositors at short-term rates and then lend and invest those funds at intermediate and long-term rates. Beginning in 2005, the Federal Reserve began raising short-term rates and banks had to increase the interest rates paid to their depositors. Long-term rates, however, did not go up correspondingly, largely because of excess liquidity in the international money markets. The effect on our net interest margins has been very significant. Our total interest income went up 22.9 percent in 2006, primarily reflecting our growth. Total interest expense, however, went up 57.8 percent. As a consequence, our net interest income only went up an anemic 2.0 percent. If we had not experienced strong growth in the loan portfolio, it would have declined. Some of our community bank peers around the country have attempted to counteract this situation by making higher-yielding commercial real estate loans, particularly for new construction. However, we have resisted the trend to over-invest in these types of loans, which have been questioned by the various banking regulators. Only 18.0 percent of our loans are construction loans. A little more than 54 percent of our loans are commercial real estate loans but most of them were made in connection with providing financing to our small and mid-sized business customers. In many cases, we ask for a mortgage on a customer's plant, store, or office building as additional collateral for the loan. 4 The quality of our loan portfolio is best judged by activity in the allowance for loan losses. In 2006, recoveries from loans previously charged off exceeded charge offs by $24,000. Not every loan is always repaid in full as agreed. Nevertheless, our record in this area suggests that most of our loans are well secured and we can expect a significant recovery even if a borrower does default. It should also be noted that at the end of 2006, we had only a single house with an appraised value of $55,000 included in our other real estate owned category and it was not considered material in the preparation of our financial statements. Still, we do not want to suggest that all of our customers are immune to the economic distress that is widespread in southeastern Michigan. The troubles of the "Big Three" auto manufacturers and their suppliers, large and small, have been well documented in the national and local press. At year-end, we had $7.7 million in non-performing loans on our books. This was only nine-tenths of one percent of total assets, a very manageable figure, even though it did represent a significant increase during the past year. We are often asked how we can expect to be successful in a market that has been so depressed in recent years. The fact is that our largest corporations are in serious trouble. Nevertheless, the Greater Detroit Metropolitan Area is still the tenth largest market in the United States and, even in the midst of all its problems, there are still substantial pockets of prosperity throughout the region. Our "secret of success" is to identify those pockets of prosperity and then to seek deposits and loans there. Even with significant growth in the recent past, we only hold about a one percent share of the total banking market in southeastern Michigan. In short, when a banking organization is relatively small and the overall market is huge, there are many opportunities for profitable growth and compounding success even in a difficult economic environment. We believe that the success of our Fourth Quarter stock offering indicates that we speak optimistically about our Company's prospects. This was a firm commitment underwritten offering lead managed by Oppenheimer & Co. and co-managed by Howe Barnes Hoefer & Arnett, Inc.. An initial offering of 2.7 million shares at $20 per share was oversubscribed by approximately 200,000 shares on the first day. Approximately one-third of these new shares were purchased by individual investors. On the other hand, two-thirds of them were purchased by institutional investors. These institutions use sophisticated analysis to substantiate their purchase decisions. It is a vote of confidence that all of us who are responsible for the performance of our Company appreciate. We will certainly strive to meet the expectations of these new stockholders as well as all of our existing ones. 5 We offered this new stock because, in September, we agreed to acquire Fidelity Financial Corporation of Michigan for $70.5 million in cash. We used the net proceeds from the offering of approximately $55.1 million along with other resources to complete the acquisition on January 4, 2007. Fidelity Financial is the holding company for Fidelity Bank. Founded in 1971, this Bank has its main office in Birmingham, Michigan, with single branch offices in Bloomfield Township and Bingham Farms and four branch offices in Southfield, all in Oakland County, Michigan. At December 31, 2006, Fidelity had total assets of $220,400,000, total loans of $179,600,000 and total deposits of $187,500,000. Thus, closing of the transaction gave our Company total assets of well over $1 billion. Oakland County has long been the most prosperous county in southeastern Michigan. Along with Washtenaw County, it has experienced economic growth in spite of the problems in other parts of the region. We expanded our operations into Washtenaw County, site of the University of Michigan, in 2004 with the acquisition of Bank of Washtenaw. That bank's three branches were consolidated into Community Bank of Dearborn shortly after the transaction closed. In the case of the seven Fidelity offices, we intend to continue operating them under the Fidelity name for the time being although technically they will become branches of Community Bank. We are doing this because we are adopting the Fidelity name for our entire organization effective April 30, 2007. We acquired the rights to this name along with the rest of Fidelity Financial's assets. As we have grown and expanded our geographic footprint, we have realized that in some cases the name, Community Bank of Dearborn, has been an impediment to our marketing efforts. There are too many potential customers who think of a "community bank" as being too small to satisfy their financial services needs. In reality, our legal lending limit is now over $20 million although we would never lend that much to a single borrower without seeking participations from our correspondent banks. Then, to further complicate matters, "of Dearborn" is construed by some as suggesting a geographical limitation on our operations. If we were to change the name of Community Bank of Dearborn to Fidelity Bank, we would be adopting a respected name with no implications of small size or geographic limitations. We have said on a number of occasions that the Board of Dearborn Bancorp has no intention of declaring cash dividend at any time in the near future. We still consider our Company to be in a "growth mode" and preservation of capital is essential in such a situation. Nevertheless, our directors have continued their policy of regularly declaring stock dividends in lieu of cash dividends so that our stockholders receive tangible benefits from the progress we have been making. Accordingly, five percent stock dividends were distributed in June and December of 2006. 6 Now, as we begin a new year, we are concentrating on our marketing activities while integrating Fidelity Bank's branches and operations into Community Bank of Dearborn's. We anticipate meaningful economies of scale to result from the consolidation of "backroom" functions and the seven Fidelity offices in Oakland County will make us a definite factor in this vibrant part of the metropolitan area. We believe that our proven approach to the business of banking will allow us to attract sizeable volumes of new deposits and loans through these locations. The biggest problem we anticipate in 2007 is the flat yield curve, which seems unlikely to change in the near term. We intend to continue dealing with this situation by strictly controlling unnecessary overhead expenses and redoubling our efforts to attract new and profitable business. Overall, we are optimistic about our prospects during the coming months and anticipate being in a position to provide you with another positive report on the progress of our Company at this time next year. Our directors and senior officers join us in inviting you to attend the Annual Meeting on May 15, 2007. The meeting will be held at Park Place, 23400 Park Avenue, Dearborn, Michigan at 4:00 p.m. We look forward to meeting you, providing you with a comprehensive report on our operations, answering your questions and hearing your suggestions at that time. Sincerely, John E. Demmer Michael J.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated March 9, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Crowe Chizek and Company LLC Grand Rapids, Michigan March 9, 2007 9 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Board of Directors and Stockholders Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. Dearborn, Michigan We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Dearborn Bancorp, Inc.'s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, management's assessment that Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also in our opinion, Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. and our report dated March 9, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. Crowe Chizek and Company LLC Grand Rapids, Michigan March 9, 2007 10 MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an effective system of internal control over financial reporting presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Management assessed the Corporation's systems of internal control over financial reporting presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as of December 31, 2006. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2006, Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. maintained effective control over financial reporting presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles based on those criteria. The Corporation's independent auditors have issued an audit report on our assessment of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.

AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows. Basis of Presentation and Operations Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. (the "Corporation") was incorporated in Michigan on September 30, 1992. The Corporation's primary subsidiary, Community Bank of Dearborn (the "Bank"), began operations on February 28, 1994. The Bank operates twelve community banking offices in Dearborn (2), Dearborn Heights, Plymouth Township, Canton Township, Clinton Township (2), Southgate, Auburn Hills, Saline and Ann Arbor (2) in Michigan, offering a full range of banking services to individuals and businesses. The Bank also operates Community Bank Mortgage, Inc., a mortgage company that originates and services residential and commercial mortgage loans, Community Bank Insurance Agency, an insurance agency with limited activities and Community Bank Audit Services, Inc., a company that offers internal auditing services to financial institutions. The Bank's primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are commercial, residential mortgage, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Real estate loans are secured by both residential and commercial real estate. Other financial instruments which potentially represent concentrations of credit risk include deposit accounts in other financial institutions. While the Corporation's management monitors the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Corporation-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Corporation's banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Community Bank of Dearborn and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Community Bank Mortgage, Inc., Community Bank Insurance Agency, Inc. and Community Bank Audit Services, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Sale of Common Stock The Corporation sold 2,918,250 shares of its common stock at $20.00 per share on November 10, 2006. The net proceeds from the stock offering was approximately $55,131,000. These proceeds were utilized to acquire Fidelity Financial Corporation of Michigan ( Fidelity ) on January 4, 2007 Use of Estimates In the preparation of financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates that are more susceptible to change in the near term include the allowance for loan losses, fair value of certain financial instruments, and the carrying value of intangible assets. 18 DEARBORN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Cash Flows For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Corporation considers cash on hand, cash due from banks, federal funds sold, and interest bearing deposits with other banks to be cash equivalents. Net cash flows are reported for loan, deposit and short-term borrowing transactions. Mortgage Loans Held for Sale Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market on an aggregate basis. These loans are sold servicing released to other entities. Securities When securities are purchased and the Corporation intends to hold the securities for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity, they are classified as available for sale and carried at fair value. Any decision to sell a security available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Corporation's assets and liabilities, liquidity demands, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. Cost is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are excluded from income and recorded as an amount, net of tax, in other comprehensive income and as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. All of the Corporation's securities are classified as available for sale. Gains and losses on sales are based on the amortized cost of the security and securities are written down to fair market value when a decline in fair value is not temporary. Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers: (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the Corporation's ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Loans Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is generally discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. 19 DEARBORN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of the loan balance is confirmed or when required by policy. The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical or industry loss experience adjusted for various factors. A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Loan relationships that are rated watch or worse with a balance above $500,000 are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or at the fair value of the collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Transfers of Financial Assets Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Corporation, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Corporation does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. Foreclosed Assets Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines below the new cost basis, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed. Premises and Equipment Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Building and improvements - 5 to 30 years Furniture and equipment - 3 to 10 years Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income. 20 DEARBORN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Long-Term Assets Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill results from business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified. Other intangible assets consist of core deposit and business relationship intangible assets arising from a bank acquisition in 2004. They are initially measured at fair value and are being amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 10 to 17 years. Stock Compensation Effective January 1, 2006, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123(R), Share-based Payment, using the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly, the Company has recorded stock-based employee compensation cost using the fair value method starting in 2006. For 2006, adopting this standard resulted in a reduction in net income of $67,000 and a decrease in basic and diluted earnings per share of $.01. The Corporation has two incentive stock plans. Employee compensation expense under the 1994 Stock Option Plan was reported using the intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation cost from this plan is reflected in net income, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant. 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 per share data).
2004 ----------- Net Income As reported $ 5,509 Less: stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value based method (9) ----------- Pro forma $ 5,500 Basic income per share As reported $ 1.16 Pro forma $ 1.15 Diluted income per share As reported $ 1.06 Pro forma $ 1.05
Employee compensation expense under the 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan is reported using the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation in 2005. Since stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income in 2005, there is no pro forma effect. 21 DEARBORN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. Income Taxes The Corporation files a consolidated federal income tax return. The Corporation uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax amounts to the amount expected to be realized. Stock Dividends The fair value of shares issued in stock dividends is transferred from retained earnings to common stock, to the extent of available retained earnings. Any excess of fair value over available retained earnings is considered a return of capital. All share and per share amounts are retroactively adjusted for stock dividends. Reclassifications Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Loss Contingencies Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements. Income Per Share Basic income per share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options. Income per share is restated for all stock splits and dividends through the date of issue of the financial statements. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, net of tax, which are also recognized as separate components of equity. 22 DEARBORN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Restrictions on Cash The Corporation was required to have $25,000 and $3,980,000 of cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at year end 2006 and 2005, respectively. These balances do not earn interest. The decline in required reserves in 2006 resulted from revised designation of certain deposit accounts to categories requiring lower reserves. Dividend Restrictions Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank to the Corporation or by the Corporation to stockholders. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. Adoption of New Accounting Standards: In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108), which is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. SAB 108 provides guidance on how the effects of prior-year uncorrected financial statement misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 requires public companies to quantify misstatements using both an income statement (rollover) and balance sheet (iron curtain) approach and evaluate whether either approach results in a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors have been considered, is material. If prior year errors that have been previously considered immaterial now are considered material based on either approach, no restatement is necessary so long as properly applied its previous approach and all relevant facts and circumstances were considered. Adjustments considered immaterial in prior years under the method previously used, but now considered material under the dual approach required by SAB 108, are to be recorded upon initial adoption of SAB 108. The amount so recorded is shown as a cumulative effect adjustment is recorded in opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 had no effect on the Corporation's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. Effect of Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards: FIN 48, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Corporation has determined that the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material effect on the financial statements. 23 DEARBORN BANCORP, INC.

The capital loss can be carried forward through 2010 to offset capital gain income. An allowance against the net tax deferred asset is not considered necessary at December 31, 2006. 33 DEARBORN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004 NOTE L - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK Fair Value of Financial Instruments The estimated fair value of the Corporation's financial instruments at December 31, are as follows (in thousands):

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating its fair value disclosure for financial instruments: Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently or fully. Security fair values are based on market prices or dealer quotes, and if no such information is available, on the rate and term of the security and information about the issuer. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values. Fair value of loans held for sale is based on market quotes. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is based on the current fees or cost that would be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements, and was not considered material to this presentation. 34 DEARBORN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004 NOTE L - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OFF-BALANCE- SHEET RISK (Continued) Off-Balance-Sheet Risk The Corporation is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and financial guarantees. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk that are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional amount of those items. The Corporation generally requires collateral to support such financial instruments in excess of the contractual notional amount of those instruments and, therefore, is in a fully collateralized position. The Corporation had outstanding loan commitments aggregating $171,095,000 and $186,729,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Loan commitments for variable rate loans were $125,128,000 and $167,474,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Loan commitments for fixed rate loans were $52,168,000 and $19,255,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The fixed rate loan commitments at December 31, 2006 have interest rates ranging from 5.35% to 9.25% and maturities ranging from one year to eight years.

35 DEARBORN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004 NOTE L - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK (Continued) Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there are no violations of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require a payment of a fee. Since portions of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Corporation evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case by case basis. The amount of collateral obtained upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. NOTE M - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Bank maintains a 401(k) plan for its employees. All employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) after completion of age and service requirements. An employee can be enrolled as a participant on the first "Enrollment Date" after reaching age 21 and completing six months of service. Contributions to the plan by the Bank are discretionary and are expensed as made. The Bank matches 50% of the first 6% of employee contributions to the plan. Employer contributions vest 20% per year for five years. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, employer contributions were $171,000, $148,000 and $121,000, respectively. NOTE N - REGULATORY MATTERS The Corporation and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for the Bank, the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). 36 DEARBORN BANCORP, INC.

Federal and state banking laws and regulations place certain restrictions on the amount of dividends and loans a bank can pay to its parent company. Under the most restrictive of these regulations at December 31, 2006, the Bank could pay approximately $20,800,000 in dividends to the parent company without prior regulatory approval. No cash dividends have ever been paid by the Corporation. 37 DEARBORN BANCORP, INC.

On December 31, 2006, there were no shares available for grant under the 1994 Plan. There were no antidilutive options outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $707,000, $1,592,000 and $1,280,000, respectively. The intrinsic value of options outstanding at December 31, 2006 was approximately $5,077,000. During 2005, the Corporation initiated the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Under this plan, up to 347,248 shares may be granted to officers and employees of the Bank. This plan provides that stock awards may take the form of any combination of options, shares, share units or performance awards. The administration of the plan, including the granting of awards and the nature of those awards is determined by the Corporation's Compensation Committee. In August of 2006, the Corporation's Compensation Committee authorized and Board of Directors approved grants of stock options and restricted stock . The awards have a term of ten years and typically vest fully three years from the grant date. In order for vesting to occur, the Corporation must meet certain performance criteria. The expected compensation cost of the 2005 plan is being calculated assuming the Corporation's attainment of "target" performance goals over the vesting period of the options. The actual cost of these awards could range from zero to 150% of the currently recorded compensation cost, depending on the Corporation's performance. Stock Options Granted - The incentive stock options were granted with exercise prices equal to market prices on the day of grant. The weighted average fair value of the options granted at grant date was $7.83 and $8.36 for options granted during 2006 and 2005, respectively. The following assumptions were used to determine weighted average fair value of the options granted at grant date:

AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004 NOTE S - ACQUISITION On January 4, 2007, the Corporation acquired the Fidelity Financial Corporation of Michigan (Fidelity) for $70,500,000 in cash. As of January 4, 2007, the assets and liabilities of Fidelity at acquisition and net income derived from those assets and liabilities since the acquisition have been consolidated into the Bank. Fidelity was founded in 1973 and has its main office in Birmingham, Michigan with single branch offices in Bloomfield Township, Michigan and Bingham Farms, Michigan and four branch offices in Southfield, Michigan. As of December 31, 2006, Fidelity had total assets of $220,419,000, gross loans of $179,553,000 and total deposits of $187,547,000. The acquisition of Fidelity will enable the Corporation to build a competitive presence in Oakland County for the Bank's loan and deposit products. Management expects to build upon Fidelity's reputation and continue to increase the Bank's presence in Oakland County, while decreasing operating expenses by utilizing the infrastructure and operational capabilities already in place at the Bank. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. There are refinements in the process of allocating the purchase price that have not been entirely completed. Identified intangible assets and purchase accounting fair value adjustments are being amortized under various methods over the expected lives of the corresponding assets and liabilities. Goodwill will not be amortized, but will be reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. Goodwill and other intangible assets are tax deductible over 15 years. Currently, identified intangible assets subject to amortization are $11,200,000. Goodwill aggregates to $25,700,000. The following table presents pro forma information for the Corporation including the acquisition of Fidelity for the year ended December 31, 2006 as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 2006.

The adjustments related to net interest income are due to financing costs related to funding the acquisition. The adjustments related to non interest income are entirely due to the amortization of intangible assets and additional depreciation expense. The adjustments related to income tax provision are due to the income tax effects of the other adjustments and the income taxes on Fidelity's 2006 pre-tax income. Fidelity was a Subchapter S Corporation and did not record income tax expense. 46 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPANY OVERVIEW Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. was incorporated as a Michigan business corporation on September 30, 1992. The Corporation was formed to acquire all of the Bank's issued and outstanding stock and to engage in the business of a bank holding corporation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act"). Community Bank of Dearborn (the "Bank"), a Michigan banking corporation, commenced business on February 28, 1994 in Dearborn, Michigan. The Bank is the only commercial bank headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan and offers a full line of loan and deposit products and services. The Bank offers excellent customer service to its loan and deposit customers and maintains strong relationships with the communities served by the Bank. The Bank emphasizes strong loan quality, excellent customer service and efficient operations in order to maximize profitability and shareholder value. Subsequent to the commencement of business in Dearborn, Michigan in 1994, the Bank opened five additional offices in Wayne County, Michigan. Since 2001, the Bank two offices in Macomb County, Michigan and in 2003, the Bank opened an office in Oakland County, Michigan. In 2004, the Corporation acquired the Bank of Washtenaw from Pavillion Bancorp. The Bank of Washtenaw's three banking offices, all of which are located in Washtenaw County, Michigan were successfully consolidated into the Community Bank of Dearborn. The Bank currently operates twelve banking offices in Wayne, Macomb, Oakland and Washtenaw Counties, Michigan. In September of 2006, the Corporation signed a definitive agreement to acquire Fidelity Financial Corporation of Michigan (Fidelity), a commercial bank with seven offices in Oakland County, Michigan. The acquisition will significantly expand the Bank's presence in Oakland County, Michigan. Management believes that the acquisition will be beneficial to the Bank's customers and the Corporation's shareholders. This acquisition was completed on January 4, 2007. The Bank will open a banking office in Shelby Township, Michigan during the second quarter of 2007. A list of banking offices is shown on the following page. While maintaining high asset quality and improving profitability, the Bank has sustained substantial asset growth. The expansion of our commercial banking department has been a primary element in the Bank's asset growth. This growth has been funded primarily by deposits. The Corporation expects to continue its growth in the Metropolitan Detroit market and look for additional acquisitions as they become available. The Corporation's earnings depend primarily on net interest income. Management strives to maximize net interest income through monitoring the economic and competitive environment and making appropriate adjustments in the characteristics and pricing of our products and services. Other factors that contribute significantly to our earnings are the maintenance of strong asset quality and efficient operations. Management continually monitors the quality of the loan portfolio and the impact of the economic and competitive environment and takes appropriate measures to maintain high asset quality. Management does not expect the acquisition of Fidelity to have a significant impact on the Bank's asset quality. The Bank's market area consists primarily of the Metropolitan Detroit area. This is a large real estate market and the Bank's loan portfolio accounts for less than one percent of this market. The Detroit real estate market has been negatively impacted by the unfavorable economic conditions in the State of Michigan. Despite the local economy and its impact on certain industries, many local industries and economies are prospering. The Bank has maintained strong asset quality in this environment by enforcing strong underwriting guidelines and utilizing a diligent loan review process. 47 Net income during the year ended December 31, 2006 was affected by a compression in net interest income compared with the same period in 2005. This was the result of competitive pricing pressure in both loans and deposit generation. Additionally, the continuation of a flat treasury yield has resulted in lower interest rates spreads than in other reporting periods.

48 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and about the Corporation and Bank. Words such as "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "expects", "forecasts", "intends", "is likely", "plans", "projects", variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward- looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions ("Future Factors") that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events (whether anticipated or unanticipated), or otherwise. Future Factors include changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in banking regulation; changes in tax laws; changes in prices, levies and assessments; the impact of technological advances; governmental and regulatory policy changes; the outcomes of contingencies; trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay loans; and changes in the national and local economy. These are representative of the Future Factors that could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES The "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", as well as disclosures found elsewhere in the annual report, are based upon the consolidated financial statements of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc., which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan loss. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for loan loss is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. Management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss is an estimate based on reviews of individual loans, assessments of the impact of current economic conditions on the portfolio, and historical loss experience. See Note C of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the discussion of "Allowance for Loan Loss" in the Management's Discussion and Analysis. Management believes the accounting estimates related to the allowance for loan loss is a "critical accounting estimate" because: 1) The estimates are highly susceptible to change from period to period and require management to make judgements concerning the quality of the loan portfolio and the impact of current economic conditions on borrowers' ability to repay their loans. 2) The impact of recognizing an impairment or loan loss could have a material effect on the financial statements of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. 3) The Bank's rapid growth and entry into new markets make estimating the required analysis more complicated and result in past experience not being as reliable an indicator of current loss exposure as it might be otherwise. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the audit committee of the board of directors and the audit committee has reviewed the Corporation's disclosures related to them in this Management's Discussion and Analysis. 49 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 2006 Compared to 2005. The Corporation reported net income of $7,819,000 in 2006 compared to $7,510,000 in 2005, an increase of $309,000 or 4%. The Corporation's increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net interest income and the $696,000 impairment on securities in 2005, partially offset by increases in non-interest expense. 2005 Compared to 2004. The Corporation reported net income of $7,510,000 in 2005 compared to $5,509,000 in 2004, an increase of $2,001,000 or 36%. The Corporation's increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease in other income and increases in non-interest expense. NET INTEREST INCOME 2006 Compared to 2005. Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $28,002,000 compared to $27,452,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $550,000 or 2%. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to increases in the volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The Corporation's net interest rate spread decreased to 3.07% in 2006 from 3.63% in 2005, a decrease of 56 basis points. The decrease in the net interest rate spread was due to liability costs increasing faster than asset yields. The Corporation's net interest margin decreased to 3.80% in 2006 from 4.14% in 2005. Average interest earning assets grew by $75.5 million between the periods while interest bearing liabilities grew by $64.0 million. While management is continually reviewing spreads and margins, future increases in the net interest margin are primarily expected from continued volume growth in the higher yielding loan portfolio and the diversification of the Bank's deposit structure. The primary source of funding for the expected growth in the loan portfolio is deposit growth. During 2007, the Corporation is expecting the net interest rate spread and net interest rate margin to increase slightly as a result of diversification of the deposit mix and an expected decrease in short-term interest rates. 2005 Compared to 2004. Net interest income for the period ended December 31, 2005 was $27,452,000 compared to $20,381,000 for the period ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $7,071,000 or 35%. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to increases in the volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The Corporation's net interest rate spread decreased to 3.63% in 2005 from 3.69% in 2004, a decrease of 6 basis points. The decrease in the net interest rate spread was due to liability costs increasing faster than asset yields. Additionally, the Bank has improved its asset mix by deploying a larger proportionate share of its funds into loans. The increase in the cost of deposits was primarily due to the repricing of the Bank's time deposits. The Corporation's net interest margin increased to 4.14% in 2005 from 4.04% in 2004. 50 Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields. Net interest income is affected by the difference ("interest rate spread") between rates of interest earned on interest earning assets and rates of interest paid on interest bearing liabilities and the relative amounts of interest bearing liabilities and interest earning assets. When the total of interest earning assets approximates or exceeds the total of interest bearing liabilities, any positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income. Financial institutions have traditionally used interest rate spreads as a measure of net interest income. Another indication of an institution's net interest income is its "net yield on interest earning assets" or "net interest margin," which is net interest income divided by average interest earning assets. The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Corporation's consolidated average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. During the periods indicated, non-accruing loans, if any, are included in the net loan category.

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

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES 2006 Compared to 2005. The provision for loan losses was $943,000 in 2006, compared to $1,081,000 in 2005, a decrease of $138,000 or 13%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in net charge-offs during 2006. While loan growth increased to 15% during 2006 compared to 12% during 2005, the Bank recorded net recoveries of $24,000 compared to net charge-offs of $157,000 during 2005. The provision for loan losses is based upon management's assessment of relevant factors, including types and amounts of non-performing loans, historical loss experience on such types of loans, the relevant change in the size and mix of the loan portfolio and the impact of current economic conditions on borrowers' ability to repay their loans. 2005 Compared to 2004. The provision for loan losses was $1,081,000 in 2005, compared to $1,400,000 in 2004, a decrease of $319,000 or 23%. The decrease was primarily due to slightly lower loan growth and slightly improved asset quality during 2005. While net charge-offs increased to $157,000 in 2005 from $14,000 in 2004, non-performing loans declined from $3,099,000 at December 31, 2004 to $1,173,000 at December 31, 2005. 53 NON-INTEREST INCOME 2006 Compared to 2005. Non-interest income was $925,000 in 2006, compared to $505,000 in 2005, an increase of $420,000 or 83%. The increase was primarily due to a write-down and subsequent loss on the sale of a single issue of FHLMC preferred stock during 2005. This loss is discussed further in the following paragraph. When the write-down and subsequent sale of the FHLMC preferred stock is excluded from non-interest income, non-interest income during 2006 is $320,000 or 26% lower than non interest income in 2005. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the gain on sale of loans and an increase in the loss on the sale of real estate. Gain on the sale of loans decreased from $361,000 in 2005 to $145,000 in 2006, due to a decrease in loans sold during 2006. The Corporation recorded loss on the sale of real estate owned of $103,000 during 2006, compared to a gain on the sale of real estate of $92,000 during 2005. 2005 Compared to 2004. Non-interest income was $505,000 in 2005, compared to $1,065,000 in 2004, a decrease of $560,000 or 53%. The decrease was primarily due to a write-down and subsequent loss on the sale of a single issue of FHLMC preferred stock. A $696,000 write-down, and a $44,000 loss on the sale of the FHLMC preferred stock were recognized during 2005. Non-interest income excluding the write-down and subsequent sale of the FHLMC preferred stock was $1,245,000, which was an increase of $180,000 or 17% from 2004. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE 2006 Compared to 2005. Non-interest expense was $16,225,000 in 2006 compared to $15,499,000 in 2005, an increase of $726,000 or 5%. The largest component of the change in non-interest expense was salaries and employee benefits which amounted to $10,288,000 in 2006 compared to $9,402,000 in 2005, an increase of $886,000 or 9%. As of December 31, 2006, the number of full time equivalent employees was 157 compared to 151 as of December 31, 2005. 2005 Compared to 2004. Non-interest expense was $15,499,000 in 2005 compared to $11,700,000 in 2004, an increase of $3,799,000 or 32%. The largest component of the change in non-interest expense was salaries and employee benefits which amounted to $9,402,000 in 2005. In 2004, salaries and employee benefits were $7,722,000. The primary factors for the increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was the first full year of operations of the three branch offices that the Bank acquired as a result of the Bank of Washtenaw acquisition in October of 2004. The second largest component of the change in non-interest expense was occupancy and equipment expense, which amounted to $2,528,000 in 2005. In 2004, occupancy and equipment expense amounted to $1,582,000. Primary factors in the increase were the first full year of operations at the Bank's Operations Center and at the three branch offices that were acquired as a result of the Bank of Washtenaw acquisition. Additionally, various technology investments were made throughout the Bank. INCOME TAX PROVISION 2006 Compared to 2005. The income tax expense was $3,940,000 in 2006 compared to $3,867,000 in 2005, an increase of $73,000 or 2%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in income before federal income tax as the effective tax rate remained fairly stable. The effective tax rate declined to 33.5% in 2006 from 34% in 2005 due to short term investments in tax free securities during the fourth quarter of 2006. Refer to Note K of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. 2005 Compared to 2004. The income tax expense was $3,867,000 in 2005 compared to $2,837,000 in 2004, an increase of $1,030,000 or 36%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in income before federal income tax as the effective tax rate remained stable. 54 COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND DECEMBER 31, 2005 Assets. Total assets at December 31, 2006 were $855,931,000 compared to $706,497,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $149,434,000 or 21%. The increase was primarily due to increases in loans and federal funds sold. The increase in federal funds sold was primarily due to the funds received from the issuance of 2,918,250 shares of common stock. Funds received from the issuance of common stock amounted to $55,100,000. These funds were utilized to fund the acquisition of Fidelity Financial Corporation of Michigan on January 4, 2007. Securities Available for Sale. Total securities available for sale, at December 31, 2006 were $5,878,000 compared to $17,153,000 at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $11,275,000 or 66%. During 2006, the Corporation sold $97.9 million in securities and $12.8 million in securities were called or matured. $77.9 million or 80% of the securities sold during 2006 were securities that were invested for a short duration with funds from the sale of common stock on November 4, 2007. These securities were sold on December 29, 2006 and the funds from the sale were utilized to partially fund the acquisition of Fidelity on January 4, 2007. The Bank's portfolio of securities available for sale has an amortized cost and a fair value of $5.9 million. The securities at December 31, 2006 are as follows (in thousands):

The entire portfolio has a net unrealized loss of $8,000. The unrealized loss is reflected by an adjustment to stockholders' equity. The Corporation does not hold any securities in the "Held to Maturity" category nor does the Corporation hold or utilize derivatives. 55 Loans. Total loans at December 31, 2006 were $756,420,000 compared to $657,037,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $99,383,000 or 15%. The components of the outstanding balances for the years ended December 31, are as follows (in thousands):
2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Consumer loans $ 32,282 $ 35,041 $ 42,149 $ 25,200 $ 22,170 Commercial, financial, & other 130,056 110,805 129,103 68,922 46,187 Commercial real estate construction 137,596 118,358 72,286 50,087 30,083 Commercial real estate mortgages 410,829 345,536 296,634 208,305 139,243 Residential real estate mortgages 45,657 47,297 47,090 48,444 29,839 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $ 756,420 $ 657,037 $ 587,262 $ 400,958 $ 267,522 ========== ========== ========== ========== ==========
During 2006, loans increased in commercial real estate construction and commercial real estate mortgages. The decline in consumer loans was primarily due to the increase in short term interest rates. This category is comprised primarily of home equity lines of credit. The decrease in residential real estate mortgages was primarily due to the decrease in demand for residential real estate. The Bank expects the percentage of total commercial loans to increase as a percentage of the loan portfolio in 2007 via business development programs. Additionally, the Bank expects the largest loan growth to occur in the commercial real estate mortgage category. These types of loans carry a relatively large average balance, produce more cross-selling opportunities and are typically well secured by real estate. The Bank believes that the higher level of risk that is also inherent with these types of loans is offset by the Bank with high standards for credit quality and a well-seasoned group of commercial lenders. 56 A maturity and repricing schedule of the loan portfolio, which distributes fixed rate loans by maturity date and adjustable rate loans by repricing date at December 31, 2006 is listed below (in thousands):

Variable rate loans comprise 37% of the loan portfolio. The interest rates of these loans change or reprice at specific intervals according to certain market indices. The remainder of the loan portfolio has a fixed interest rate until maturity. The Bank automatically places any loan that has been partially charged-off and most consumer loan borrowers in bankruptcy proceedings on non-accrual. The Bank on a discretionary basis places loans on non-accrual when a borrower is in bankruptcy where adequate security cannot be demonstrated and the borrower ceases paying interest. All other loans are typically placed on non-accrual after the borrower is ninety days or more past due unless collection is expected within 60 days. Refer to Note C of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. The following is a summary of non-performing and problem loans (in thousands):
2006 2005 2004 -------- -------- -------- Troubled debt restructuring $ -- $ -- $ -- Over 90 days past due 2,101 189 143 Non-accrual loans 5,560 984 2,956 -------- -------- -------- Total non performing loans $ 7,661 $ 1,173 $ 3,099 ======== ======== ========
57 Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2006 were $5,560,000. The increase in non-accrual loans during the year ended December 31, 2006 is primarily due to the downgrading of one commercial real estate construction and eight commercial real estate mortgage loans with a balance of $4,843,000 to non-accrual status. An impairment analysis was completed on these loans resulting in a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses to these loans of $688,000 at December 31, 2006. We continue to work to collect these loans as they are all secured by real estate which we believe will have significant value, even in liquidation. Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2006 was $7,775,000 compared to $6,808,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $967,000 or 14%. The increase was primarily to provide for the growth in the loan portfolio during 2006. Transactions in the allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31, are as follows (in thousands):

The increase in the allowance for loan losses was based upon management's assessment of relevant factors, including types and amounts of non-performing loans, historical loss experience for the Bank and for other banks in the peer group on such types of loans, the relevant change in the size and mix of the Bank's loan portfolio and expected impact of current economic conditions on borrowers' ability to repay their loans. 58 The allocation of the allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2006 is as follows (in thousands):

The increase in the allocation of the allowance for loan losses to commercial real estate construction and commercial real estate mortgage loans at December 31, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005 is primarily due to our impairment evaluation of the nine new non-accrual loans discussed earlier. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the allocation of the allowance for loan losses to commercial, financial and other loans due primarily to smaller required impairment allocations for several commercial loans and by smaller allocations to consumer and residential real estate loans due primarily to lower loan volumes and lower delinquency levels. 59 Bank Premises and Equipment. Bank premises and equipment at December 31, 2006 were $14,293,000 compared to $13,792,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $501,000 or 4%. The increase was mainly due to upgrades in technology instituted throughout the Bank. Real Estate Owned. Real estate owned at December 31, 2006 was $52,000, compared to $663,000 at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $611,000 or 92%. Real estate owned at December 31, 2006 is comprised of one residential property with an appraised value of $55,000. The Bank expects to complete the sale of this property during 2007. The Corporation recorded loss on the sale of real estate of $103,000 during 2006. All of the properties that comprised real estate owned at December 31, 2005 were sold during 2006. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets were $7,514,000 at December 31, 2006, compared to $7,764,000 at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $250,000 or 3%. The Bank has intangible assets for the estimated value of core deposit accounts and borrower relationships acquired in the acquisition of the Bank of Washtenaw. The intangible values represent the present value of the net revenue streams attributable to these intangibles. The core deposit intangible was valued at $929,000 and is being amortized over a period of ten years. The borrower relationship intangible was valued to $1,620,000 and is being amortized over a period of 17 years. At December 31, 2006, the core deposit intangible and borrower relationship intangible amounted to $627,000 and $1,414,000, respectively. The balance of the acquisition price in excess of the fair market value of the assets and liabilities acquired, including intangible assets, was recorded as goodwill and totaled $5.5 million. Goodwill is defined as an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, and as such, is not amortized, but is required to be tested annually for impairment of the value. If impaired, an impairment loss must be recorded for the value equal to the excess of the asset's carrying value over its fair value. There was no impairment at December 31, 2006. Accrued Interest Receivable. Accrued interest receivable at December 31, 2006 was $3,337,000 compared to $2,586,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $751,000 or 29%. The increase was primarily due to increase in the size and yield of the loan portfolio. Other Assets. Other assets at December 31, 2006 were $3,071,000 compared to $2,521,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $550,000 or 22%. The decrease was largely due to a decrease in the Corporation's deferred tax asset. 60 Deposits. Total deposits at December 31, 2006 were $633,216,000 compared to $582,438,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $50,778,000 or 9%.

The increase in deposits was primarily due to growth in interest-bearing checking deposits. During 2006, the Bank completed an annual birthday celebration in March 2006, a time deposit promotion that featured the Bank's seven month certificate of deposit product and another promotion that introduced the Bank's High Performance Checking product. Management developed these campaigns in order to increase liquidity and diversify the Bank's deposit mix. In addition to these deposit campaigns, the Bank has continued to employ a strategy to utilize public funds to a higher degree, in the form of time deposits, $100,000 and over, in the State of Michigan. The Bank also has continued to utilize brokered deposits as a source of funds. In order to coordinate and manage these efforts, the Bank has also designated a public funds officer. Public funds at December 31, 2006 were $115.4 million compared to $85.2 million at December 31, 2005. There were 31 and 28 entities with public funds on deposit at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The average term of time deposits invested with the Bank by public units was 87 and 95 days at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Brokered deposits were $56.0 million with an average rate of 4.59% at December 31, 2006, compared to $45.1 million with an average rate of 3.79% at December 31, 2005.

The Bank continues a strategy of shifting maturing time deposits into other savings products. In addition, the Bank continued to enact a strategy to utilize municipal and brokered deposits to a greater degree. Federal Funds Purchased. Federal funds purchased were $37,300,000 at December 31, 2006 compared to $0 at December 31, 2005. Federal funds purchased are utilized as a short term funding source for the Bank. Management utilized this short term source of liquidity at December 31, 2006 primarily because of the likelihood of decreasing interest rates during 2007 and 2008 and the expected utilization of additional liquidity sources after the acquisition of Fidelity on January 4, 2007. Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. Federal Home Loan Bank advances at December 31, 2006 amounted to $25,561,000 compared to $25,588,000 at December 31, 2005. In 1999, the Bank joined the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. Membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank provides the Bank with a stable source of additional funding at a reasonable cost. Federal Home Loan Bank advances are collateralized with a blanket collateral agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank and investment securities, available for sale. Please refer to Note I of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Other Borrowings. Other borrowings were $619,000 at December 31, 2006 compared to $1,615,000 at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $996,000 or 62%. These borrowings were comprised of several repurchase agreements that were acquired in the 2004 acquisition of the Bank of Washtenaw. These repurchase agreements are secured by securities held by the Bank. Other Liabilities. Other liabilities were $516,000 at December 31, 2006 compared to $960,000 at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $444,000 or 46%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in accrued expenses. 62 Accrued Interest Payable. Accrued interest payable at December 31, 2006 was $3,734,000 compared to $1,683,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $2,051,000 or 122%. The increase was due to the increase in the volume and cost of interest-bearing liabilities during 2006. Subordinated Debentures. On December 19, 2002, the Corporation issued $10,000,000 of floating rate obligated mandatory redeemable securities through a special purpose entity as part of a pooled offering. The securities have a term of thirty years. The Corporation may redeem the securities after five years at face value. They are considered to be Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes. The funds from the issue of these securities were invested into securities available for sale until they can be invested into the Bank to allow for additional growth. Please refer to Note J of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. CAPITAL Stockholders' equity at December 31, 2006 was $144,985,000 compared to $84,213,000 as of December 31, 2005, an increase of $60,772,000 or 72%. The Corporation completed a stock offering during the fourth quarter of 2006. The Corporation sold 2,918,250 shares of its common stock at $20.00 per share. The net proceeds from the stock offering were approximately $55,131,000. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Bank and Corporation exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements as described in Note N of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. MARKET RISK ANALYSIS The Corporation's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser degree, liquidity risk. All of our transactions are denominated in U. S. dollars with no specific foreign exchange exposure. The Corporation has no agricultural-related loan assets and therefore has no significant exposure to changes in commodity prices. Any impact that change foreign exchange rates or commodity prices would have on interest rates are assumed to be insignificant. Interest rate risk is the exposure of our financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. We derive our income primarily from the excess of interest collected on our interest-earning assets over the interest paid on our interest-bearing liabilities. The rates of interest earned on the assets and owed on our liabilities of the Corporation generally are established contractually for a period of time. Since market interest rates change over time, we are exposed to lower profitability if we cannot adapt to interest rate changes. Accepting interest rate risk can be an important source of profitability and shareholder value; however, excessive levels of interest rate risk could pose a significant threat to our earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains interest rate risk at prudent levels is essential to our safety and soundness. Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis. Evaluating the exposure to changes in interest rates includes assessing both the adequacy of the process used to control interest rate risk and the quantitative level of exposure. The Corporation's interest rate risk management process seeks to ensure that appropriate policies, procedures, management information systems and internal controls are in place to maintain interest rate risk at prudent levels with consistency and continuity. In evaluating the quantitative level of interest rate risk, we assess the existing and potential future effects of changes in interest rates on our financial position, including capital adequacy, earnings, liquidity and asset quality. The Corporation primarily uses two interest rate risk measurement techniques. The first, which is commonly referred to as GAP analysis, measures the difference between the dollars amounts of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities that will be repriced or mature during a given time period. The Corporation has sought to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates by matching more closely the effective maturities or repricing characteristics of the Corporation's interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The matching of the assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which the assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive and by monitoring the expected effects of interest rate changes on net interest income. An asset or liability is interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. If the Corporation's assets mature or reprice more quickly or to a greater extent than its liabilities, the Corporation's net portfolio value and net interest income would tend to increase during periods of rising interest rates but decrease during periods of falling interest rates. If the Corporation's assets mature or reprice more slowly or to a lesser extent than its liabilities, its net portfolio value and net interest income would tend to decrease during periods of rising interest rates but increase during periods of falling interest rates. 63 Different types of assets and liabilities with the same or similar maturities may react differently to changes in overall market rates or conditions, and thus changes in interest rates may affect net interest income positively or negatively even if an institution were perfectly matched in each maturity category. Additionally, the gap analysis does not consider the many factors as banking interest rates move. While the interest rate sensitivity gap is a useful measurement and contributes toward effective asset and liability management, it is difficult to predict the effect of changing interest rates solely on that measure, without accounting for alterations in the maturity or repricing characteristics of the balance sheet that occur during changes in market interest rates. During periods of rising interest rates, the Corporation's assets tend to have prepayments that are slower than expected and would tend to increase the negative gap position. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, the Corporation's assets would tend to prepay faster than originally expected thus decreasing the negative gap position. In addition, some of the Corporation's assets, such as adjustable rate mortgages, have caps on the amount by which their interest rates can change in any single period, and therefore may not reprice as quickly as liabilities in the same maturity category. The following table sets forth the amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities outstanding at December 31, 2006 which are expected to mature or reprice in each of the time periods shown below.

The second interest rate measurement used is commonly referred to as net income simulation analysis. We believe that this methodology provides a more accurate measurement of interest rate risk than GAP analysis. The simulation model assesses the directions and magnitude of variations in net interest income resulting from potential changes in market interest rates. Key assumptions in the model include prepayment speeds on various loan and investment assets; cash flows and maturities of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities; and changes in market conditions impacting loan and deposit volume and pricing. These assumption are inherently uncertain, subject to fluctuation and revision in a dynamic environment; therefore, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or exactly predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, changes in market conditions and our strategies, among other factors. 64 We conducted an interest rate simulation as of December 31, 2006, that assumed a gradual change in market rates occurred over the following twelve months. The following table reflects the suggested impact on net interest income over the next twelve months (dollars, in thousands):
Change in Net Interest Income ----------------------------- Interest Rate Change Amount Percent ------ ------- + 300 Basis Points $ 221 1.60% + 200 Basis Points 48 0.35% + 100 Basis Points (199) -1.44% - - 100 Basis Points (419) -3.04% - - 200 Basis Points (454) -3.29% - - 300 Basis Points (519) -3.76%
Liquidity. Liquidity refers to readily available funds to meet the needs of borrowers and depositors. Levels of liquidity are closely monitored in conjunction with loan funding requirements and deposit outflows. Adequate liquidity protects institutions from raising funds under duress at excessive expense and provides a necessary cushion for occasional unpredictable aberrations in demand. While adequate liquidity is imperative, excessive liquidity in lower yielding cash investments or other easily marketable assets reduces potential interest income. Thus, an appropriate balance must be maintained to protect the institution and, at the same time, prudently maximize income opportunities. Sources of liquidity from both assets and liabilities include federal funds sold, securities available for sale, loan repayments, core deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and a federal funds purchase credit facility.

65 IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES The Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Corporation's operations. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of the Corporation are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction, or to the same extent, as the prices of goods and services. TECHNOLOGY The Corporation, operating as an independent, local community bank, strives to make available to its employees and customers a high level of technology as a way to be competitive with other larger financial institutions. The Bank has implemented the following technologies: ATM Banking In Touch Voice Response Telephone Banking Netteller Internet Banking Netteller Cash Management Vertex Teller Automation Streamline Platform Automation During 2007, the Bank plans to implement the following technologies: Netteller Bill Pay Remote Deposit Capture Check 21 Electronic Cash Letter Delivery 66 COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY Commitment to community is one of the primary principles upon which Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. and its primary subsidiary, Community Bank of Dearborn was founded.
