Quarterly Report


ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis are intended to address significant factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation. The discussion provides a more comprehensive review of the financial position and operating results than can be obtained from a reading of the financial statements and footnotes presented elsewhere in this report. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that are based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and about the Corporation and Bank. Words such as "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "expects", "forecasts", "intends", "is likely", "plans", "projects", variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward- looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions ("Future Factors") that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events (whether anticipated or unanticipated), or otherwise.
Future Factors include changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in banking regulation; changes in tax laws; changes in prices, levies and assessments; the impact of technological advances; governmental and regulatory policy changes; the outcomes of contingencies; trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay loans; and changes in the national and local economy. These are representative of the Future Factors that could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement.

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. On April 30, 2007, Community Bank of Dearborn was renamed Fidelity Bank. Management believes that its new name, Fidelity Bank represents a more accurate portrayal to our customers and prospects of the financial products and services offered by the Bank and the Bank's market area.
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 opened 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 Bank. In 2007, the Corporation acquired Fidelity Financial Corporation of Michigan (Fidelity), a commercial bank with seven offices in Oakland County, Michigan. The acquisition has significantly expanded 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. Additionally, the Bank opened a full service banking office in Shelby Township, Michigan on April 30, 2007. The Bank currently operates nineteen banking offices in Wayne, Macomb, Oakland and Washtenaw Counties, Michigan.
The Bank has also formed two subsidiaries that offer additional or specialized services to the Bank's customers. The Bank's subsidiaries, their formation date and the type of services offered are listed below:

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 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 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 most industries, many local industries and economies are performing well. The Bank has maintained strong underwriting guidelines and utilizes a diligent loan review process. The Corporation recorded net income of $1,420,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and a net loss of $2,518,000 during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2008. The primary factor affecting net income during the three month period was the increased level of non-performing assets during the period. Another significant factor was the costs related to real estate owned, which included defaulted loan expense of $483,000 and write-downs to real estate owned of $209,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2008. The primary factor affecting net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was the provision for loan losses which amounted to $9,722,000 for the nine month period. The increase in the provision for loan loss was primarily the result of the charge-off of several loans during the period and the deterioration of the collateral values of real estate that secures many loans in the Bank's portfolio. Net charge-offs amounted to $3,910,000 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008.
Another significant factor for the nine months ending September 30, 2008 was the cost related to real estate owned, which included defaulted loan expense of $1,429,000, write-downs to real estate owned of $509,000 and losses on the sale of real estate of $720,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Compression of net interest income during the period was also a significant factor in the decline in net income. The decrease in net interest income was the result of the increasing amount of non-performing loans.

Results of Operations
The Corporation reported net income of $1,420,000 and a net loss of $2,518,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, compared to a net loss of $855,0000 and net income of $2,768,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $2,275,000 for the three month period and a decrease of $5,286,000 for the nine month period.
The increase for the three month period was primarily due to provision for loan losses and loss on sale of real estate that were recorded during the third quarter of 2007 and partially offset by increases in defaulted loan expense during the third quarter of 2008. The decrease for the nine month period is primarily due to the provision for loan losses during 2008. Other significant factors in the decrease during the nine month period were the write-down of real estate and loss on the sale of real estate, the increase in defaulted loan expense and the decrease in net interest income during 2008.
The increase in provision for loan loss is the result of $3,910,000 in net charge-offs during the year and increased risk in the loan portfolio, primarily due to the impact of poor economic conditions. The increased costs related to real estate owned were comprised of write-downs to the values of specific properties, losses recognized upon the sale of specific properties and increased holding costs of real estate owned, which were comprised primarily of the payment of property taxes and insurance and increased maintenance costs. The decrease in net interest income is primarily due to the transfer of performing loans to non-accrual status.
Net Interest Income
2008 Compared to 2007. As noted on the two charts on the following pages, net interest income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 was $8,250,000 and $24,587,000, compared to $8,501,000 and $25,745,000 for the same periods in 2007, a decrease of $251,000 or 3% for the three month period and $1,158,000 or 4% for the nine month period. This decrease was caused primarily by the decreasing yield on loans caused by the increase in non-performing loans. The Corporation's interest rate spread was 2.95% and 2.89% for the three and nine month periods September 30, 2008, compared to 2.72% and 2.80 for the same periods in 2007. The Corporation's net interest margin was 3.41% and 3.40% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, compared to 3.48% and 3.56 for the same periods in 2007.
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.

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
2008 Compared to 2007. The provision for loan losses was $90,000 and $9,722,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, compared to $4,060,000 and $4,966,000 for the same periods in 2007, a decrease of $3,970,000 or 98% for the three month period and an increase of $4,756,000 or 96% for the nine month period. The provision for loan losses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 is based on the internal analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Net charge-offs amounted to $299,000 and $3,910,000 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008. The provision for loan losses was based upon management's assessment of relevant factors, including types and amounts of non-performing loans, historical loss experience on such types of loans, and current economic conditions.

Non-interest Income
2008 Compared to 2007. Non-interest income was $319,000 and $375,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, compared to ($104,000) and $698,000 for the same periods in 2007, an increase of $479,000 or 460% for the three month period and a decrease of $323,000 or 46% for the nine month period. The increase in the three month period and decrease in the nine month period was primarily due to the write-down of real estate owned and the loss on the sale of real estate owned. The loss on the sale of real estate owned was the result of the sale of eleven bank-owned properties.
When these transactions related to real estate owned are excluded, non-interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 amounts to $544,000 and $1,604,000 compared to $392,000 and $1,294,000 during the same period in 2007, an increase of $152,000 or 39% for the three month period and $310,000 or 24% for the nine month period. This increase is primarily caused by the increase in service charges on deposit accounts. Non-interest Expense
2008 Compared to 2007. Non-interest expense was $6,312,000 and $18,978,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, compared to $5,491,000 and $17,057,000 for the same periods in 2007, an increase of $821,000 or 15% for the three month period and $1,921,000 or 11% for the nine month period. The increase was primarily due to defaulted loan expense which amounted to $483,000 and $1,429,000 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 compared to ($7,000) and $223,000 during the same periods in 2007, an increase of $490,000 for the three month period and $1,206,000 for the nine month period. This increase was primarily due to the payment of property taxes and insurance in 2008 for real estate owned.
The largest component of non-interest expense was salaries and employee benefits which amounted to $3,413,000 and $9,906,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, compared to $3,137,000 and $9,791,000 for the same periods in 2007, an increase of $276,000 or 9% for the three month period and an increase of $115,000 or 1% for the nine month period. The primary factor for the increase in salaries and benefits expense during the nine month period was the development of a special assets department that deals with non-performing . . .
