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 (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that are based on current expectations. 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. Actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what is expressed in forward-looking statements. Dearborn Bancorp 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; changes in local real estate values; changes in the national and local economy; and other factors, including risk factors disclosed from time to time in filings made by Dearborn Bancorp with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These are representative of the Future Factors and 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 seventeen 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 Corporation has realized substantial asset growth from the formation of the Corporation through December 31, 2008, depending on the economic and competitive environment.


Table of Contents

Historically, the Bank's growth has been realized through the growth of the loan portfolio. More specifically, the expansion of our commercial banking department has been a primary element in the Bank's asset growth through December 31, 2007. The Corporation's growth since its inception has been funded primarily by deposits. During 2009, the Corporation, total assets have declined due to management of the Bank's non-performing assets and the liquidation of the Bank's participation in a wholesale money market deposit program.
Due to losses experienced during 2008 and the first half of 2009, the Bank's capital position has declined to "adequately capitalized", as defined by the FDIC Regulation Part 325.103 at June 30, 2009 from "well-capitalized" at December 31, 2008. Management intends to raise sufficient capital during 2009 to return the Bank to well-capitalized status and provide sufficient capital for the Corporation. Management will consider various sources of capital and estimates that it needs to raise between $20 million and $50 million in capital during 2009.
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 works 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. The Bank has maintained strong underwriting guidelines and utilizes a diligent loan review process.
The Corporation recorded a net loss of $9,075,000 and $15,324,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively. The primary factor affecting net income was the recording of $13,610,000 and $24,337,000 to the provision for loan loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009. The provision for loan loss was due to net charge-offs of $9,820,000 and $16,367,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively and the continued deterioration in the underlying collateral of the Bank's non-performing assets. Another significant factor was the cost related to real estate owned, which included defaulted loan expense of $926,000 and $1,687,000 and write-downs to real estate owned of $1,506,000 and $$1,860,000 during the three month and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

Results of Operations
The Corporation reported net losses of ($9,075,000) and ($15,324,000) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, compared to net losses of ($4,614,000) and ($3,938,000) for the same periods in 2008, a decrease of $4,461,000 for the three month period and $11,386,000 for the six month period. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the increase in the provision for loan loss, the decline in net interest income due to the elevated levels of non-performing loans and the increased costs related to real estate owned. Net Interest Income
2009 Compared to 2008. As noted on the two charts on the following pages, net interest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 was $7,537,000 and $15,054,000, compared to $8,284,000 and $16,337,000 for the same periods ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $747,000 or 9% for the three month period and $1,283,000 or 8% for the six month period. This decrease was caused primarily by the decreasing spread between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The Corporation's interest rate spread was 2.48% and 2.63% for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2009 compared to 2.95% and 2.86% for the same periods in 2008. The Corporation's interest rate margin was 3.01% and 2.97% for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2009 compared to 3.45% and 3.40% for the same periods in 2008. The decline in the Corporation net interest spread and net interest margin was primarily due to the decline in the Bank's yield on earning assets, which was primarily due to the impact of the increasing amount of non-performing loans.
Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields. Net interest income is affected by the difference ("interest rate spread") between rates of interest earned on interest-earning assets and rates of interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities and the relative amounts of interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets. When the total of interest-earning assets approximates or exceeds the total of interest-bearing liabilities, any positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income. Financial institutions have traditionally used interest rate spreads as a measure of net interest income. Another indication of an institution's net interest income is its "net yield on interest-earning assets" or "net interest margin," which is net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Corporation's consolidated average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. During the periods indicated, non-accruing loans, if any, are included in the loan category.

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
2009 Compared to 2008. The provision for loan losses was $13,610,000 and $24,337,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, compared to $8,746,000 and $9,632,000 for the same period in 2008, an increase of $4,864,000 or 56% for the three month period and $14,705,000 or 152% for the six month period. The increase is primarily due to net charge-offs of $16,367,000 during the period and the continued deterioration of the underlying collateral for the Bank's non-performing loans, which are primarily due to the decline in economic conditions in Southeastern Michigan. This decline in economic conditions is heavily impacted by conditions and events that have recently impacted the automotive industry during the first half of 2009, including the recent bankruptcy of two major automotive manufacturers and resulting shut down of production and layoffs of employees. These events will have a negative impact on the residential real estate and commercial real estate markets in the Bank's market area. These conditions have led to an increase in the Bank's classified assets during 2009. Management has recognized this trend in our analysis of the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2009.
Regulatory requirements, documented in the in the discussion of Impaired Loans in the Glossary of the FFIEC Call Report Instructions dictate that any collateral deficiency on impaired loans that are collateral dependent must be immediately charged off. A collateral deficiency exists where the loan balance exceeds the value of the underlying collateral. As of June 30, 2009, the collateral deficiency of all collateral dependent impaired loans has been charged off.
Net charge-offs of $12,873,000 or 79% of year-to-date net charge-offs were based on current valuations of the underlying collateral during these challenging economic conditions. These valuations are as of a certain date and there is a possibility that the valuation of this collateral will improve as economic conditions improve.
The provision for loan losses for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 is based on the internal analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan losses was based upon management's assessment of relevant factors, including types and amounts of non-performing loans, historical loss experience on such types of loans, and current economic conditions.

Non-interest Income (Loss)
2009 Compared to 2008. Non-interest income (loss) was ($571,000) and ($243,000) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, compared to ($55,000) and $56,000 for the same periods in 2008. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to the write-down of other real estate during 2009 and partially offset by the gain recognized on the sale of securities during the period.
When these transactions related to real estate owned, other assets and securities are excluded, non-interest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 amounts to $697,000 and $1,255,000 compared to $514,000 and $1,060,000 during the same period in 2008, an increase of $183,000 or 36% for the three month period and $195,000 or 18% for the six month period. This increase is primarily caused by the increase in other income. Non-interest Expense
2009 Compared to 2008. Non-interest expense was $7,103,000 and $13,614,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, compared to $6,428,000 and $12,666,000 for the same periods in 2008, an increase of $675,000 or 10% for the three month period and $948,000 or 7% for the six month period. The increase was primarily due to defaulted loan expense and the FDIC assessment. Defaulted loan expense amounted to $926,000 and $1,687,000 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 compared to $511,000 and $946,000 during the same periods in 2008, an increase of $415,000 or 81% for the three month period and $741,000 or 78% for the six month period. This increase in defaulted loans expense was primarily due to the payment of property taxes, insurance, legal expenses and maintenance in 2009 for real estate owned. The FDIC assessment . . .
