Board of Directors and Shareholders
Dearborn Bancorp, Inc.
Dearborn, Michigan


We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Dearborn Bancorp, Inc. as
of March 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income,
comprehensive income and cash flows for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and
1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
AICPA. A review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of
persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially
less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

         reporting policies of the Corporation are in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles and conform to practice
         within the banking industry.

         The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation as of March
         31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 and for the three month periods ended
         March 31, 2000 and 1999 reflect all adjustments, consisting of
         normal recurring items which are in the opinion of management,
         necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim
         period. The operating results for the quarter are not necessarily
         indicative of results of operations for the entire year.

         The consolidated financial statements included herein have been
         prepared by the Corporation, without an audit, pursuant to the rules
         and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
         information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
         statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
         regulations. These financial statements should be read in
         conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereon included
         in the Corporation's 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders on Form

B.       STOCK OPTION PLAN

         Options to buy common stock are granted to officers and employees
         under a Stock Option Plan which provides for issue of up to 255,000
         shares. Exercise price is the market price at date of grant. The
         maximum option term is ten years, and options vest fully after six
         months from the date of grant. If an option expires or terminates
         without having been exercised, such option becomes available for
         future grant under the Plan.

PART 1  -  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2.  -  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
            CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis are intended to address significant
factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of the
Corporation. The discussion provides a more comprehensive review of the
financial position and operating results than can be obtained from a reading
of the financial statements and footnotes presented elsewhere in this report.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains forward-looking statements that are based on management's
beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about
the financial services industry, the economy, and about the Corporation and
Bank. Words such as "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "expects",
"forecasts", "intends", "is likely", "plans", "projects", variations of such
words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward- looking
statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and
involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions ("Future Factors") that
are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree
of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ
from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements.
The Corporation undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events (whether anticipated or unanticipated), or otherwise.

Future Factors include changes in interest rates and interest rate
relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by
traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in banking regulation;
changes in tax laws; changes in prices, levies and assessments; the impact of
technological advances; governmental and regulatory policy changes; the
outcomes of contingencies; trends in customer behavior as well as their
ability to repay loans; and changes in the national and local economy. These
are representative of the Future Factors that could cause a difference
between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement.

General

The Corporation was formed in 1992 and the Bank was formed in 1993. Principal
operations of the Bank commenced on February 28, 1994 when the Bank opened
for business at its main office, located at 22290 Michigan Avenue, Dearborn,
Michigan. On December 20, 1995, the Bank opened its second office, located at
24935 West Warren Avenue, Dearborn Heights, Michigan. On August 11, 1997, the
Bank opened its third office, located at 44623 Five Mile Road, Plymouth
Township, Michigan. The Bank is in the process of constructing an office,
located at 1325 N. Canton Center Road, Canton Township, Michigan, which is
expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2000.

Results of Operations

The Corporation reported net income of $211,000 for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2000, compared to net income of $176,000 for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1999. The increase in net income was primarily due to
the positive impact of net interest income due primarily to significant
growth in the volume of loans, partially offset by growth in deposits and
Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Net Interest Income

2000 Compared to 1999. Net interest income for the three month period ended
March 31, 2000 was $1,344,000 compared to $1,075,000 for the same period
ended March 31, 1999, an increase of $269,000 or 25%. This increase was
caused primarily by an increase in average earning assets of $24.6 million
between the periods while interest-bearing liabilities grew by $22.2 million.
At the same time the Corporation's interest rate spread increased to 2.41% in
2000 from 2.15% in 1999. The Corporation's net interest margin increased in
2000 to 3.68% from 3.52% in 1999. The Corporation's increase in interest rate
spread and net interest margin was primarily a result of growth in the loan
and investment securities portfolios in an increasing interest rate
environment.

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.

                                     11



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 Possible Credit Losses

2000 Compared to 1999. The provision for possible credit losses was $115,000
for the three month period ended March 31, 2000, compared to $82,000 for the
same period in 1999, an increase of $33,000 or 40% for the period. The
Corporation has increased its provision for possible credit losses as a
result of loan growth. The provision for possible credit losses was based
upon management's assessment of relevant factors, including types and amounts
of non-performing loans, historical and anticipated loss experience on such
types of loans, and current and projected economic conditions.


                                     13






Non-interest Income

2000 Compared to 1999. Non-interest income was $124,000 for the three month
period ended March 31, 2000, compared to $148,000 for the same period in
1999, a decrease of $24,000 or 16% for the period. The decrease was primarily
due to a lower volume of mortgage loans sold in an increasing interest rate
environment.

Non-interest Expense

2000 Compared to 1999. Non-interest expense was $1,033,000 for the three
month period ended March 31, 2000, compared to $872,000 for the same period
in 1999, an increase of $161,000 or 18% for the period. The largest
components of non-interest expense were salaries and employee benefits which
amounted to $591,000 and occupancy and equipment expense which amounted to
$147,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000. For the same period
in 1999, salaries and employee benefits was $526,000 and occupancy and
equipment expense was $107,000. The primary factor for the increase in
salaries and employee benefits was the addition of two executive officers,
one to support loan growth and one to support deposit growth, to the Bank
during 1999. As of March 31, 2000, the number of full time equivalent
employees was 40 as compared to 38 as of March 31, 1999. The increase in

The increase in deposits was primarily due to normal business development,
marketing, telemarketing, referral programs and growth strategies which
included an annual birthday celebration and major marketing campaign in March

Federal Funds Purchased. Federal funds purchased at March 31, 2000 were $1.1
million compared to $3.0 million at December 31, 1999, a decrease of $1.9
million or 63%. During the first quarter of 2000, federal funds purchased
were replaced by Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

2000 were $4.0 million compared to $2.0 million at December 31, 1999, an
increase of $2.0 million or 100%. An increase in advances was used to pay-off
federal funds purchased.

Mortgage Payable. Mortgage payable at March 31, 2000 was $486,000 compared to
$493,000 at December 31, 1999, a decrease of $7,000 or 1%. The decrease in
mortgage payable was a result of making standard monthly payments.

Accrued Interest Payable. Accrued interest payable at March 31, 2000 was
$543,000 compared to $469,000 at December 31, 1999, an increase of $74,000 or
16%. The increase was due to the increase in the volume of time deposits.

Other Liabilities. Other liabilities at March 31, 2000 were $648,000 compared
to $601,000 at December 31, 1999, an increase of $47,000 or 8%. The increase
was due to federal income taxes accrued but not yet remitted.

                                     18



Capital

Stockholders' equity at March 31, 2000 was $27.1 million compared to $27.3
million as of December 31, 1999, a decrease of $0.2 million or 1%. In
November of 1999, the Corporation announced that it would repurchase up to
125,000 shares of its outstanding common stock at a price range of $5.00 to
$13.00 per share, which represents approximately five percent of the
outstanding common stock. Through March 31, 2000, the Corporation was able to
repurchase 68,385 shares within Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines
primarily related to the volume of market activity. Considering that the
Corporation's stock closed at $6.688 per share on March 31, 2000,
representing a 60 percent market to book ratio, management believes that its
stock is highly undervalued. Given such bargain market prices, the
Corporation will continue to repurchase shares during 2000.

Liquidity and Asset and Liability Management

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 and a federal funds purchase credit facility.

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
that its liabilities, the Corporation's net portfolio value and net interest
income would tend to increase during periods of rising interest rates but
decrease during periods of falling interest rates. If the Corporation's
assets mature or reprice more slowly or to a lesser extent than its
liabilities, its net portfolio value and net interest income would tend to
decrease during periods of rising interest rates but increase during periods
of falling interest rates.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis. The matching of assets and liabilities
may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities
are "interest rate sensitive" and by monitoring an institution's interest
rate sensitivity "gap." An asset or liability is said to be interest rate
sensitive within a specific period if it will mature or reprice within that
period. The interest rate sensitivity "gap" is the difference between the
amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific
time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or
repricing within that time period. A gap is considered positive when the
amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate
sensitive liabilities, and is considered negative when the amount of interest
rate sensitive liabilities exceed the amount of interest rate sensitive
assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would be
expected to adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap would
be expected to result in an increase in net interest income, while conversely
during a period of declining interest rates, a negative gap would be expected
to result in an increase in net interest income and a positive gap would be
expected to adversely affect net interest income.


                                     20


Different types of assets and liabilities with the same or similar maturities
may react differently to changes in overall market rates or conditions, and
thus changes in interest rates may affect net interest income positively or
negatively even if an institution were perfectly matched in each maturity
category. Additionally, the gap analysis does not consider the many factors
as banking interest rates move. While the interest rate sensitivity gap is a
useful measurement and contributes toward effective asset and liability
management, it is difficult to predict the effect of changing interest rates
solely on that measure, without accounting for alterations in the maturity or
repricing characteristics of the balance sheet that occur during changes in
market interest rates. During periods of rising interest rates, the
Corporation's assets tend to have prepayments that are slower than those in
an interest rate sensitivity gap and would increase the negative gap
position. Conversely, during a period of declining interest rates, the
Corporation's assets would tend to prepay faster than originally expected
thus decreasing the negative gap position. In addition, some of the
Corporation's assets, such as adjustable rate mortgages, have caps on the
amount by which their interest rates can change in any single period, and
therefore may not reprice as quickly as liabilities in the same maturity
category.

The following table sets forth the amounts of interest earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities outstanding at March 31, 2000, which are
expected to mature or reprice in each of the time periods shown below. For
the purposes of this table, the maturity or repricing periods of other
interest bearing deposits are based upon industry experience as determined by
the Corporation's regulators. These rates are not the contractual repricing
periods, which are shorter than what is shown, as management has broad
discretion in repricing these deposits.
