GENERAL
DSA Financial Corporation was incorporated in March 2004 for the
purpose of acting as the holding company parent of Dearborn Savings Association,
F.A. following the completion of the mutual-to-stock conversion of Dearborn
Mutual Holding Company. The mutual-to-stock conversion was completed July 28,
2004. Accordingly, financial information presented in this document for periods
prior to that date is for Dearborn Financial Corporation, the mid-tier stock
holding company that was the predecessor to DSA Financial Corporation. Our
executive office is located at 118 Walnut Street, Lawrenceburg, Indiana 47025
and our telephone number is (812) 537-0940.
DEARBORN SAVINGS ASSOCIATION, F.A.
Dearborn Savings Association is a full-service, community-oriented
savings association that provides financial services to individuals, families
and businesses through its main office, located in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, and
one branch office, located in Greendale, Indiana. Originally organized in 1890,
Dearborn Savings Association reorganized into the mutual holding company
structure in October 1993 and became the wholly-owned subsidiary of Dearborn
Financial Corporation in April 1999.
Dearborn Savings Association's business consists primarily of accepting
deposits from the general public and investing those deposits, together with
funds generated from operations and borrowings, in one- to four-family
residential, multi-family residential, construction and non-residential real
estate and land loans, home equity and consumer loans and in U.S. Government
agency and other securities and mortgage-backed securities.
Dearborn Savings Association's executive offices are located at 118
Walnut Street, Lawrenceburg, Indiana 47025. Our telephone number at this address
is (812) 537-0940.
COMPETITION
We face significant competition in both originating loans and
attracting deposits. The Cincinnati, Ohio metropolitan area and Dearborn County,
Indiana, the county in which our offices are located, have a high concentration
of financial institutions, many of which are significantly larger institutions
with greater financial resources than we have, and many of which are our
competitors to varying degrees. Our competition for loans comes principally from
commercial banks, savings banks, mortgage banking companies, credit unions,
insurance companies and other financial service companies. Our most direct
competition for deposits has historically come from commercial banks, savings
banks and credit unions. We face additional competition for deposits from
non-depository competitors such as the mutual fund industry, securities and
brokerage firms and insurance companies. We have emphasized personalized banking
and the advantage of local decision-making in our banking business. We do not
rely on any individual, group, or entity for a material portion of our deposits.
MARKET AREA
Dearborn Savings Association offers a broad range of financial services
to individuals and businesses in our market area. Our primary market for
deposits is concentrated in Dearborn County, Indiana, where our full-service
banking offices are located. Our primary lending area consists of Dearborn
County as well as the contiguous counties in Kentucky and Ohio.
Dearborn County constitutes a suburban market with a broad employment
base that serves as a bedroom community for nearby Cincinnati, Ohio. The
economic environment in Dearborn County continues to be favorable and has
supported increased commercial and residential activity in recent years.
The population of Dearborn County increased by approximately 18.7%
between 1990 and 2002, while the population of the State of Indiana as a whole
increased by 9.7% during the same period.
The economy of our primary market area is based on a mixture of
service, manufacturing and wholesale/retail trade. Employment is provided by a
variety of industries and state and local governments. The diversity of the
employment base is evidenced by the many different employers in our market area.
The major employers in our market area include Argosy Casino, Aurora Casket
Company, Dearborn County Hospital and Joseph A. Seagram & Sons, Inc. Dearborn
County also has numerous small business employers. As of July 2006, the
unemployment rate in Dearborn County was 6.0%, which was higher than the
unemployment rate for the State of Indiana and the United States as a whole,
which were 5.7% and 4.8%, respectively.
LENDING ACTIVITIES
We originate one- to four-family residential real estate loans, home
equity loans and construction loans. In addition, we originate multi-family
residential real estate loans, non-residential real estate and land loans and
consumer loans. We retain most of the loans we originate while retaining the
servicing rights on the loans sold to Freddie Mac.
ONE- TO FOUR-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING. Our primary
lending activity is the origination of one- to four-family residential real
estate loans. This portfolio totaled $54.6 million, or 58.7% of our total loan
portfolio at June 30, 2006. Of this total, $30.3 million, or 55.6%, had fixed
rates of interest and $24.3 million, or 44.4%, had adjustable rates of interest.
We currently offer conforming and non-conforming fixed- and adjustable-rate
conventional mortgage loans with terms of 10 to 30 years. One- to four-family
residential mortgage loans are generally underwritten according to Freddie Mac
guidelines and loan limits, and loans that conform to such guidelines are
referred to as "conforming loans." The maximum conforming loan limit as
established by Freddie Mac is currently $417,000 for single-family homes,
although the majority of the residential mortgage loans we originate have
principal balances between $100,000 and $250,000. We also originate loans that
exceed the Freddie Mac limits, referred to as "jumbo loans." Private mortgage
insurance is generally required for loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of
80%.
We actively monitor our interest rate risk position to determine the
desirable level of investment in fixed-rate mortgages. Depending on market
interest rates and our capital and liquidity position, we may retain all of our
newly originated longer term fixed-rate, fixed-term residential mortgage loans
or from time to time we may elect to sell all or a portion of such loans in the
secondary mortgage market to government sponsored entities, such as Freddie Mac,
or other purchasers. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, we elected to
keep considerably all loan production in the portfolio due to our strong capital
and cash positions as a result of the second step conversion. To generate fee
income and reinforce our commitment to customer service, we retain the servicing
rights on the loans we sell. As of June 30, 2006, loans serviced for others
totaled $33.7 million.
We currently offer several types of adjustable-rate residential
mortgage loans with rates that are fixed for a period ranging from six months to
seven years. After the initial term, the interest rate on these loans is
generally reset every year based upon a contractual spread or margin above the
average yield on U.S. Treasury securities, adjusted to a constant maturity of
one year as published weekly by the Federal Reserve Board, subject to certain
periodic and lifetime limitations on interest rate changes. Many of the
borrowers who select these loans have
2
shorter-term credit needs than those who select long-term, fixed-rate loans.
Adjustable-rate mortgage loans may pose different credit risks than fixed-rate
loans primarily because the underlying debt service payments of the borrowers
rise as interest rates rise, thereby increasing the potential for default.
We require title insurance on most all of our one- to four-family
mortgage loans, and we also require that borrowers maintain fire and extended
coverage casualty insurance (and, if appropriate, flood insurance) in an amount
at least equal to the lesser of the loan balance or the replacement cost of the
improvements. We do require a mortgage escrow account from which disbursements
are made for real estate taxes and for hazard and flood insurance on all loans
that exceed 80% loan-to-value.
In addition to traditional one- to four-family residential real estate
loans, we offer equity lines of credit that are secured by the borrower's
primary residence or investment property. The borrower is permitted to draw on
the equity line of credit during the first seven years after it is originated
and may repay the outstanding balance over a term not to exceed ten years from
the date the equity line of credit is originated. Our equity lines of credit are
originated with fixed rates of interest for the first five years, and the
interest rates adjust with the prime rate of interest after the initial five
year period. Equity lines of credit are generally underwritten with the same
criteria that we use to underwrite one- to four-family loans. Equity lines of
credit may be underwritten with a loan-to-value ratio of 80% when combined with
the principal balance of the existing mortgage loan. We appraise the property
securing the loan in order to determine the value of the property securing the
equity line of credit. At the time we close an equity line of credit, we file a
mortgage to perfect our security interest in the underlying collateral. At June
30, 2006, the outstanding balances of equity lines of credit totaled $5.0
million, or 5.4% of our total loan portfolio.
MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING. Loans secured by
multi-family real estate totaled approximately $3.8 million, or 4.0% of our
total loan portfolio, at June 30, 2006. Multi-family residential real estate
loans generally are secured by multi-family rental properties. At June 30, 2006,
we had twelve multi-family residential real estate loans, the largest of which
had a principal balance of $808,000. The majority of our multi-family
residential real estate loans have adjustable interest rates.
In underwriting multi-family residential real estate loans, we consider
a number of factors, which include the net operating income projected to be
generated by the real estate; the age and condition of the collateral; the
financial resources and income level of the borrower; and the borrower's
experience in owning or managing similar properties. Multi-family mortgage loans
are originated in amounts up to 80% of the appraised value of the property
securing the loan. Personal guarantees are obtained from multi-family mortgage
borrowers.
Loans secured by multi-family residential real estate generally involve
a greater degree of credit risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage
loans and carry larger loan balances. This increased credit risk is a result of
several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of
loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income
producing properties, and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring
these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by
multi-family real estate typically depends upon the successful operation of the
related real estate property. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, the
borrower's ability to repay the loan may be impaired.
NON-RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING. We also originate real estate
loans secured by first liens on non-residential real estate and land. Our
non-residential real estate properties primarily consist of restaurants, office
buildings, motels, strip centers and car washes. We may, from time to time,
purchase non-residential real estate loan participations. Almost all of our
non-residential real estate loans have initial principal balances less than $1.0
million, although we occasionally originate non-residential real estate loans in
excess of that amount up to our current loan-to-one borrower limitation of $2.2
million. Loans secured by non-residential real estate totaled $26.1 million, or
28.0% of our total loan portfolio at June 30, 2006. All of our non-residential
real estate loans are secured by properties located in our primary lending area.
3
Most of our non-residential real estate loans are written as three-year
adjustable-rate mortgages that amortize over 15 to 30 years, although we
originate non-residential real estate loans that provide for balloon payments.
We also originate non-residential real estate loans that amortize over ten
years. In the underwriting of non-residential real estate loans, we generally
lend up to 80% of the property's appraised value. Decisions to lend are based on
the economic viability of the property and the creditworthiness of the borrower.
In evaluating a proposed non-residential real estate loan, we analyze the ratio
of the property's projected net cash flow to the loan's debt service requirement
(generally requiring a ratio of 115%). In addition, a personal guarantee of the
loan is required from the principal(s) of the borrower. We generally require
title insurance insuring the priority of our lien. We require fire and extended
coverage casualty insurance, and flood insurance, if appropriate, in order to
protect our security interest in the underlying property.
Non-residential real estate loans generally carry higher interest rates
and have shorter terms than those on one- to four-family residential mortgage
loans. Non-residential real estate loans, however, entail significant additional
credit risks compared to one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, as they
typically involve large loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or
groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment of loans secured by
income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the
related real estate project, and thus may be subject to a greater extent to
adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the general economy.
CONSTRUCTION LOANS. We originate construction loans to local home and
non-residential builders in our market area, generally with whom we have an
established relationship, and to individuals who have a contract with a builder
for the construction of their residence. These loans totaled $7.4 million, or
7.9% of our total loan portfolio, at June 30, 2006.
Our construction loans to home builders are repaid on an interest-only
basis for the period of construction, which is generally six months, with
interest calculated on the amount disbursed to the builders based upon a
percentage of completion of construction. The majority of these loans have a
maximum loan-to-value ratio of 80%. Interest rates can be fixed or adjustable
during the construction phase of the loan. These loans generally convert to
permanent financing after the initial construction period. Loans to builders are
made on either a pre-sold or speculative (unsold) basis. Construction loans to
individuals who intend to occupy the completed dwelling are converted to
permanent financing after the construction phase is completed. These loans are
generally originated pursuant to the same policy guidelines regarding
loan-to-value ratios and interest rates that are used in connection with loans
secured by one- to four-family residential real estate. Prior to making a
commitment to fund a construction loan, we require an appraisal of the property
from a qualified appraiser approved by us, and all appraisals are reviewed by
management.
Construction lending exposes us to greater credit risk than permanent
mortgage financing because of the inherent difficulty in estimating both a
property's value at completion of the project and the estimated cost of the
project. If the estimate of construction costs is inaccurate, we may be required
to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of
the project. If the estimate of value upon completion is inaccurate, the value
of the property may be insufficient to assure full repayment. Projects also may
be jeopardized by disagreements between borrowers and builders and by the
failure of builders to pay subcontractors. Loans to builders to construct homes
for which no purchaser has been identified carry more risk because the repayment
of the loan depends on the builder's ability to sell the property prior to the
time that the construction loan is due. We have attempted to minimize these
risks by, among other things, limiting our construction lending primarily to
residential properties and requiring personal guarantees from the principals of
corporate borrowers.
CONSUMER LOANS. We originate a variety of consumer and other loans,
including new and used automobile loans and loans collateralized by savings
accounts. As of June 30, 2006, consumer loans totaled $1.2 million, or 1.3% of
the total loan portfolio. At June 30, 2006 the largest group of consumer loans
consisted of $434,000 of indirect mobile home loans, located primarily in the
Commonwealth of Kentucky, although we discontinued mobile home lending in
January 1997. We receive principal and interest payments for these loans, but a
third party handles collection activity.
4
As of June 30, 2006, automobile loans totaled $421,000, or 0.5% of our
total loan portfolio. We originate automobile loans directly to our customers
and have no outstanding agreements with automobile dealerships to generate
indirect loans.
Our procedures for underwriting consumer loans include an assessment of
an applicant's credit history and the ability to meet existing obligations and
payments on the proposed loan. Although an applicant's creditworthiness is a
primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of
the value of the collateral security, if any, to the proposed loan amount.
Consumer loans generally entail greater risk than residential mortgage
loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or secured
by assets that tend to depreciate rapidly, such as automobiles. In addition, the
repayment of consumer loans depends on the borrower's continued financial
stability, as their repayment is more likely to be adversely affected by job
loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy than a single family mortgage
loan.

LOAN ORIGINATIONS, PURCHASES, SALES AND SERVICING. While we originate
both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans, our ability to generate each type of
loan depends upon borrower demand, market interest rates, borrower preference
for fixed- versus adjustable-rate loans, and the interest rates offered on each
type of loan by other lenders in our market area. This includes competing banks,
savings banks, credit unions, mortgage banking companies and life insurance
companies that may also actively compete for local non-residential real estate
loans. Loan originations are derived from a number of sources, including branch
office personnel, existing customers, borrowers, builders, attorneys, real
estate broker referrals and walk-in customers.
Our loan origination and sales activity may be adversely affected by a
rising interest rate environment that typically results in decreased loan
demand, while declining interest rates may stimulate increased loan demand.
Accordingly, the volume of loan originations, the mix of fixed- and
adjustable-rate loans, and the profitability of this activity can vary from
period to period. One- to four-family residential mortgage loans are generally
underwritten to current Freddie Mac seller/servicer guidelines, and closed on
standard Freddie Mac documents. If such loans are sold, the sales are conducted
using standard Freddie Mac purchase contracts and master commitments as
applicable. All one- to four-family mortgage loans that we have sold to Freddie
Mac have been sold on a non-recourse basis, whereby foreclosure losses are the
responsibility of the purchaser and not Dearborn Savings Association. We have
not sold any participation loans to Freddie Mac, as the loans in which we have
participated have exceeded the conforming loan limit as established by Freddie
Mac for their purchase of loans from financial institutions.
We are a qualified loan servicer for Freddie Mac. Our policy has been
to retain the servicing rights for all conforming loans sold, and to continue to
collect payments on the loans, maintain tax escrows and applicable fire and
flood insurance coverage, and supervise foreclosure proceedings if necessary. We
retain a portion of the interest paid by the borrower on the loans as
consideration for our servicing activities.
LOAN APPROVAL AUTHORITY AND UNDERWRITING. The loan approval process is
intended to assess the borrower's ability to repay the loan, the viability of
the loan, and the adequacy of the value of the property that will secure the
loan. To assess the borrower's ability to repay, we review the employment and
credit history and information on the historical and projected income and
expenses of borrowers. Loans of up to $250,000 to any borrower and the
borrower's related interests may be approved by the loan committee, consisting
of directors and senior management. All loans in excess of $250,000 must be
approved by the Board of Directors.
We require appraisals of real property securing loans. Appraisals are
performed by independent appraisers, who are approved by the Board of Directors
annually. We require fire and extended coverage insurance in amounts adequate to
protect our principal balance. Where appropriate, flood insurance is also
required. Private mortgage insurance is generally required for all residential
mortgage loans with loan-to-value ratios greater than 80%.
LOAN ORIGINATION FEES AND COSTS. In addition to interest earned on
loans, we also receive loan origination fees. Such fees vary with the volume and
type of loans and commitments made, and competitive conditions in the mortgage
markets, which in turn respond to the demand and availability of money. We defer
loan origination fees and costs, and amortize such amounts as an adjustment to
yield over the term of the loan by use of the level-yield method. Deferred loan
origination costs (net of deferred fees) were $43,000 at June 30, 2006.
To the extent that originated loans are sold with servicing retained,
we capitalize a mortgage servicing asset at the time of the sale in accordance
with applicable accounting standards (Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities"). The capitalized amount is amortized
thereafter (over the period of estimated net servicing income) as a reduction of
servicing fee income. The unamortized amount is fully charged to income when
loans are prepaid. Originated mortgage servicing rights with an unamortized cost
of $238,000 are included in other assets at June 30, 2006. See also Note A-3 of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
LOANS TO ONE BORROWER. At June 30, 2006, our five largest aggregate
loan amounts to any one borrower and certain related interests of the borrower
(including any unused lines of credit) consisted of secured and unsecured
financing of $2.0 million, $1.6 million, $1.5 million, $1.5 million and $1.4
million. As of June 30, 2006, all of these loans were performing in accordance
with their terms. See "Supervision and Regulation--Federal Banking
Regulation--Loans to One Borrower" for a discussion of applicable regulatory
limitations.
7
DELINQUENT LOANS, OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED AND CLASSIFIED ASSETS
COLLECTION PROCEDURES. A computer-generated late notice is sent by the
16th day after the payment due date on a loan requesting the payment due plus
any late charge that was assessed. When loans become 30 days past due, we send
additional delinquency notices and we attempt to make personal contact with the
borrower by letter or telephone to establish acceptable repayment schedules. The
Board of Directors is advised of all loans delinquent 60 days or more. The Board
will consider the borrower's willingness to comply with the loan terms, our
actions to date, and the value of the loan collateral in determining what
actions, if any, are to be taken. Generally, when a mortgage loan is 90 days
delinquent and no acceptable resolution has been reached, we will refer the
matter to counsel and management will begin foreclosure proceedings unless
management is engaged in active payment resolution with the borrower.
LOANS PAST DUE AND NON-PERFORMING ASSETS. Loans are reviewed on a
regular basis, and are generally placed on non-accrual status when either
principal or interest is 90 days or more past due and when, in the opinion of
management, there is sufficient reason to question the borrower's ability to
continue to meet contractual principal or interest payment obligations. In
addition, loans may be placed on non-accrual status prior to being 90 days or
more past due when, in the opinion of management, there is sufficient reason to
question the borrower's ability to continue to meet contractual principal or
interest payment obligations. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is
placed on non-accrual status is reversed from interest income. At June 30, 2006,
we had non-performing loans of $323,000. Management included approximately
$16,000 within the general allowance for loan losses for these loans at June 30,
2006.
Real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure is classified as real estate owned ("REO") until such time as it is
sold. When real estate is acquired through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure, it is recorded at its fair value, less estimated costs of disposal.
If the fair value of the property is less than the loan balance, the difference
is charged against the allowance for loan losses.
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to our
loan portfolio delinquencies at the dates indicated.

For the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, gross interest income that
would have been recorded had the non-accrual loans at the end of the period
remained on accrual status throughout the period amounted to $1,000 and $4,000,
respectively.
CLASSIFICATION OF ASSETS. Our policies, consistent with regulatory
guidelines, provide for the classification of loans and other assets that are
considered to be of lesser quality as substandard, doubtful, or loss assets. An
asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current
net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if
any. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility
that the savings institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not
corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in
those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses
present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently
existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little
value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. Assets that do not
expose us to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the
aforementioned categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve
our close attention, are required to be designated as special mention.
When we classify assets as either substandard or doubtful, we allocate
a portion of the related general loss allowances to such assets as deemed
prudent by management. The allowance for loan losses represents amounts that
have been established to recognize losses inherent in the loan portfolio that
are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the financial
statements. When we classify problem assets as loss, we charge-off such
9
amount. Our determination as to the classification of our assets and the amount
of our loss allowances are subject to review by our regulatory agencies, which
can order the establishment of additional loss allowances. Management regularly
reviews our asset portfolio to determine whether any assets require
classification in accordance with applicable regulations. On the basis of
management's review of our assets at June 30, 2006, classified assets consisted
of special mention assets of $1.1 million, substandard assets of $805,000 and no
assets classified as doubtful or loss.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. We provide for loan losses based on the
allowance method. Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the related
allowance and all recoveries are credited to it. Additions to the allowance for
loan losses are provided by charges to income based on various factors which, in
management's judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating probable
losses. Management regularly reviews the loan portfolio and makes provisions for
loan losses in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The allowance for loan losses consists of amounts specifically allocated to
non-performing loans and other criticized or classified loans (if any) as well
as allowances determined for each major loan category. Loans secured by
multi-family residential real estate and loans secured by non-residential real
estate and land are evaluated individually for impairment. Other
smaller-balance, homogeneous loan types, including loans secured by one- to
four-family residential real estate and consumer installment loans, are
evaluated for impairment on a collective basis. After we establish a provision
for loans that are known to be non-performing, criticized or classified, we
calculate percentage loss factors to apply to the remaining categories within
the loan portfolio to estimate probable losses inherent in these categories of
the portfolio. When the loan portfolio increases, therefore, the percentage
calculation results in a higher dollar amount of estimated probable losses than
would be the case without the increase, and when the loan portfolio decreases,
the percentage calculation results in a lower dollar amount of estimated
probable losses than would be the case without the decrease. These percentage
loss factors are determined by management based on our historical loss
experience for the applicable loan category, which may be adjusted to reflect
our evaluation of levels of, and trends in, delinquent and non-accrual loans,
trends in volume and terms of loans, and local economic trends and conditions.
We consider non-residential real estate and land loans and construction
loans to be riskier than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans.
Non-residential real estate loans and land loans have greater credit risks
compared to one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, as they typically
involve large loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of
related borrowers. In addition, the payment experience on loans secured by
income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the
related real estate project and thus may be subject to a greater extent to
adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the general economy.
Construction loans have greater credit risk than permanent mortgage financing
because of the inherent difficulty in estimating both a property's value at
completion of the project and the estimated cost of the project. If the estimate
of construction costs is inaccurate, we may be required to advance funds beyond
the amount originally committed to permit completion of the project. If the
estimate of value upon completion is inaccurate, the value of the property may
be insufficient to assure full repayment. Projects also may be jeopardized by
disagreements between borrowers and builders and by the failure of builders to
pay subcontractors. Loans to builders to construct homes for which no purchaser
has been identified carry more risk because the repayment of the loan depends on
the builder's ability to sell the property prior to the time that the
construction loan is due. The increased risk characteristics associated with
non-residential real estate and land loans and construction loans are considered
by management in the evaluation of the allowance for loan losses and generally
result in a larger loss factor applied to these segments of the loan portfolio
in developing an estimate of the required allowance for loan losses.
We intend to increase our originations of non-residential real estate
and land loans, and we intend to retain these loans in our portfolio. Because
these loans entail significant additional credit risks compared to one- to
four-family residential mortgage loans, an increase in our origination (and
retention in our portfolio) of these types of loans would, in the absence of
other offsetting factors, require us to make additional provisions for loan
losses.
The carrying value of loans is periodically evaluated and the allowance
is adjusted accordingly. While management uses the best information available to
make evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if
conditions differ substantially from the information used in making the
evaluations. In addition, as an integral part of their examination process, our
regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for loan losses. Such
agencies may require us to recognize additions to the allowance based on their
judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.

SECURITIES ACTIVITIES
Our securities investment policy is established by our Board of
Directors. This policy dictates that investment decisions be made based on the
safety of the investment, liquidity requirements, potential returns, cash flow
targets, and consistency with our interest rate risk management strategy. Our
asset/liability committee oversees our investment program and evaluates on an
ongoing basis our investment policy and objectives. Our chief executive officer,
acting with our chief financial officer, is responsible for making securities
portfolio decisions in accordance with established policies. Our chief financial
officer and chief executive officer have the authority to purchase and sell
securities within specific guidelines established by the investment policy. In
addition, all transactions are reviewed by our asset/liability committee at
least quarterly.
Our current investment policy generally permits securities investments
in debt securities issued by the U.S. Government and U.S. Agencies, municipal
bonds, and corporate debt obligations, as well as investments in preferred and
common stock of government agencies and government sponsored enterprises such as
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (federal
agency securities) and, to a lesser extent, other equity securities. Securities
in these categories are classified as "investment securities" for financial
reporting purposes. The policy also permits investments in mortgage-backed
securities, including pass-through securities issued and guaranteed by Fannie
Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae as well as collateralized mortgage obligations
("CMOs") issued or backed by securities issued by these government agencies.
SFAS No. 115 requires that, at the time of purchase, we designate a
security as held to maturity, available for sale, or trading, depending on our
ability and intent. Securities available for sale are reported at fair value. We
do not have a held to maturity or a trading portfolio.
GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. At June 30, 2006, we held U.S. Government agency
obligations classified as available-for-sale, with a fair value of $3.4 million.
While these securities generally provide lower yields than other investments
such as mortgage-backed securities, our current investment strategy is to
maintain investments in such instruments to the extent appropriate for liquidity
purposes, as collateral for borrowings, and for prepayment protection.
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES. We invest in mortgage-backed securities in
order to generate positive interest rate spreads with minimal administrative
expense; lower credit risk as a result of the guarantees provided by Freddie
Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae; and increase liquidity. We invest primarily in
mortgage-backed securities issued or sponsored by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. At
June 30, 2006, we held mortgage-backed securities classified as available for
sale with a fair value of $423,000. All of such mortgage-backed securities were
CMOs. We held no "pass-through" mortgage-backed securities at June 30, 2006.
Mortgage-backed securities are created by pooling mortgages and issuing
a security collateralized by the pool of mortgages with an interest rate that is
less than the interest rate on the underlying mortgages. Mortgage-backed
securities typically represent a participation interest in a pool of
single-family or multi-family mortgages, although most of our mortgage-backed
securities are collateralized by single-family mortgages. The issuers of such
securities (generally U.S. Government agencies and government sponsored
enterprises, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae) pool and resell
the participation interests in the form of securities to investors, such as
Dearborn Savings Association, and guarantee the payment of principal and
interest to these investors. Investments in mortgage-backed securities involve a
risk that actual prepayments will be greater or less than the prepayment rate
estimated at the time of purchase, which may require adjustments to the
amortization of any premium or accretion of any discount relating to such
instruments, thereby affecting the net yield on such securities. We review
prepayment estimates for our mortgage-backed securities at the time of purchase
to ensure that prepayment assumptions are reasonable considering the underlying
collateral for the securities and current interest rates, and to determine the
yield and estimated maturity of the mortgage-backed securities portfolio.
Periodic reviews of current prepayment speeds are performed in order to
ascertain whether prepayment estimates require modification, that would cause
amortization or accretion adjustments.
At June 30, 2006, all of our mortgage-backed securities portfolio was
invested in CMOs backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. CMOs are types of debt
securities issued by a special-purpose entity that aggregates pools of mortgages
and mortgage-backed securities and creates different classes of securities with
varying maturities and
12
amortization schedules, as well as a residual interest, with each class
possessing different risk characteristics. The cash flows from the underlying
collateral are generally divided into "tranches" or classes that have descending
priorities with respect to the distribution of principal and interest cash
flows, while cash flows on pass-through mortgage-backed securities are
distributed pro rata to all security holders. Floating rate CMOs are purchased
with emphasis on the relative trade-offs between lifetime interest rate caps,
prepayment risk, and interest rates.

SOURCES OF FUNDS
GENERAL. Deposits, borrowings, repayments and prepayments of loans and
securities, proceeds from sales of loans and securities, proceeds from maturing
securities and cash flows from operations are the primary sources of our funds
for use in lending, investing and for other general purposes.
DEPOSITS. We offer a variety of deposit accounts with a range of
interest rates and terms. Our deposit accounts consist of passbook savings
accounts, NOW accounts, checking accounts, money market accounts, club accounts,
certificates of deposit and IRAs and other qualified plan accounts. We provide
commercial checking accounts for businesses.
Our deposits are obtained predominantly from the areas in which our
branch offices are located. We rely on our customer service and competitive
pricing to attract and retain these deposits. While we accept certificates of
deposit in excess of $100,000 for which we may provide preferential rates, we do
not actively solicit such deposits as they are more difficult to retain than
core deposits.

COMPETITION
We face significant competition in both originating loans and
attracting deposits. The Cincinnati, Ohio metropolitan area and Dearborn County,
Indiana, the county in which our offices are located, have a high concentration
of financial institutions, many of which are significantly larger institutions
with greater financial resources than we have, and many of which are our
competitors to varying degrees. Our competition for loans comes principally from
commercial banks, savings banks, mortgage banking companies, credit unions,
insurance companies and other financial service companies. Our most direct
competition for deposits has historically come from commercial banks, savings
banks and credit unions. We face additional competition for deposits from
non-depository competitors such as the mutual fund industry, securities and
brokerage firms and insurance companies. We have emphasized personalized banking
and the advantage of local decision-making in our banking business. We do not
rely on any individual, group, or entity for a material portion of our deposits.
As of June 30, 2005, the most recent date for which comparative data is
available, Dearborn Savings Association had deposits of $70.4 million in
Dearborn County. These deposits represented 8.5% of all bank and thrift deposits
in Dearborn County as of that date, making Dearborn Savings Association the
fifth largest financial institution out of nine financial institutions in terms
of deposits in the county.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not involved in any pending legal proceedings as a defendant
other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of
business. At June 30, 2006, we were not involved in any legal proceedings, the
outcome of which would be material to our financial condition or results of
operations.
PERSONNEL
As of June 30, 2006, we had 17 full-time employees and three part-time
employees. The employees are not represented by a collective bargaining unit and
we consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION
FEDERAL TAXATION
GENERAL. DSA Financial and Dearborn Savings Association are subject to
federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with
some exceptions discussed below. The following discussion of federal taxation is
intended only to summarize material federal income tax matters and is not a
comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to DSA Financial and
Dearborn Savings Association.
METHOD OF ACCOUNTING. For federal income tax purposes, Dearborn Savings
Association currently reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of
accounting and uses a tax year ending June 30 for filing its consolidated
federal income tax returns. The Small Business Protection Act of 1996 eliminated
the use of the reserve method of accounting for bad debt reserves by savings
institutions, effective for taxable years beginning after 1995.
BAD DEBT RESERVES. Prior to the Small Business Protection Act of 1996,
Dearborn Savings Association was permitted to establish a reserve for bad debts
for tax purposes and to make annual additions to the reserve. These additions
could, within specified formula limits, be deducted in arriving at Dearborn
Savings Association's taxable income. As a result of the Small Business
Protection Act, Dearborn Savings Association must use the specific charge off
method in computing its bad debt deduction for tax purposes.
TAXABLE DISTRIBUTIONS AND RECAPTURE. Prior to the Small Business
Protection Act of 1996, bad debt reserves created prior to 1988 were subject to
recapture into taxable income if Dearborn Savings Association failed to meet
certain thrift asset and definitional tests. The Small Business Protection Act
of 1996 eliminated these thrift-related recapture rules. However, under current
law, pre-1988 reserves remain subject to tax recapture should Dearborn Savings
Association make certain distributions from its tax bad debt reserve or cease to
maintain a bank charter. At June 30, 2006, Dearborn Savings Association's total
federal pre-1988 reserve was approximately $1.2 million. This reserve reflects
the cumulative effects of federal tax deductions by Dearborn Savings Association
for which no federal income tax provision has been made.
MINIMUM TAX. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes an
alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income
plus certain tax preferences ("alternative minimum taxable income" or "AMTI").
The alternative minimum tax is payable to the extent such AMTI is in excess of
an exemption amount. Net operating losses can, in general, offset no more than
90% of AMTI. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits
against regular tax liabilities in future years. Dearborn Savings Association
has not been subject to the alternative minimum tax and has no such amounts
available as credits for carryover.
NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYOVERS. A financial institution may carry back
net operating losses to the preceding five taxable years (for losses incurred in
2001 and 2002) and forward to the succeeding 20 taxable years. This provision
applies to losses incurred in taxable years beginning after 1986. At June 30,
2006, Dearborn Savings Association had no net operating loss carryforwards for
federal income tax purposes.
CORPORATE DIVIDENDS. We may exclude from our income 100% of dividends
received from Dearborn Savings Association as a member of the same affiliated
group of corporations.
Dearborn Financial's federal income tax returns have not been audited
by the Internal Revenue Service in the last five fiscal years.
STATE AND LOCAL TAXATION
Dearborn Savings Association is subject to Indiana's Financial
Institutions Tax, which is imposed at a flat rate of 8.5% on "adjusted gross
income." "Adjusted gross income," for purposes of the Financial Institutions
Tax, is based upon taxable income as defined by Section 63 of the Internal
Revenue Code and, thus, incorporates federal tax law to the extent that it
affects the computation of taxable income. Federal taxable income is then
adjusted by
17
several Indiana modifications. Other applicable state taxes include generally
applicable sales and use taxes plus real and personal property taxes.
As a Delaware business corporation, DSA Financial is required to file
annual returns and pay annual fees and an annual franchise tax to the State of
Delaware.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
GENERAL
As a federally chartered savings association, Dearborn Savings
Association is regulated and supervised by the Office of Thrift Supervision and
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. This regulation and supervision
establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which we may engage and
is intended primarily for the protection of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation's deposit insurance funds and depositors. Under this system of
federal regulation, financial institutions are periodically examined to ensure
that they satisfy applicable standards with respect to their capital adequacy,
assets, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to market interest
rates. After completing an examination, the federal agency critiques the
financial institution's operations and assigns its rating (known as an
institution's CAMELS). Under federal law, an institution may not disclose its
CAMELS rating to the public. Dearborn Savings Association also is a member of,
and owns stock in, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, which is one of
the twelve regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System. Dearborn Savings
Association also is regulated, to a lesser extent, by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System, governing reserves to be maintained against deposits
and other matters. The Office of Thrift Supervision examines Dearborn Savings
Association and prepares reports for consideration by our board of directors on
any operating deficiencies. Dearborn Savings Association's relationship with our
depositors and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by both federal and
state laws, especially in matters concerning the ownership of deposit accounts
and the form and content of our loan documents.
There can be no assurance that changes to existing laws, rules and
regulations, or any other new laws, rules or regulations, will not be adopted in
the future, which could make compliance more difficult or expensive or otherwise
adversely affect our business, financial condition or prospects. Any change in
these laws or regulations, or in regulatory policy, whether by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of Thrift Supervision or Congress,
could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or
operations.
FEDERAL BANKING REGULATION
BUSINESS ACTIVITIES. A federal savings association derives its lending
and investment powers from the Home Owners' Loan Act, and the regulations of the
Office of Thrift Supervision. Under these laws and regulations, Dearborn Savings
Association may invest in mortgage loans secured by residential and
non-residential real estate, commercial business and consumer loans, certain
types of debt securities and certain other loans and assets. Dearborn Savings
Association also may establish subsidiaries that may engage in activities not
otherwise permissible for Dearborn Savings Association directly, including real
estate investment, securities brokerage and insurance agency.
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations require
savings associations to meet three minimum capital standards: a 1.5% tangible
capital ratio, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest
CAMELS rating) and an 8% risk-based capital ratio. The prompt corrective action
standards discussed below, in effect, establish a minimum 2% tangible capital
standard.
The risk-based capital standard for savings associations requires the
maintenance of Tier 1 (core) and total capital (which is defined as core capital
and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 4% and 8%,
respectively. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets,
including certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a risk-weight
factor of 0% to 100%, assigned by the Office of Thrift Supervision capital
regulation based on the risks inherent in the type of asset. Core capital is
defined as common stockholders' equity (including retained earnings), certain
noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus and minority
interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles
other than certain mortgage servicing rights and credit
18
card relationships. The components of supplementary capital currently include
cumulative preferred stock, long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory
convertible securities, subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock,
allowance for loan and lease losses up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted
assets, and up to 45% of net unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity
securities with readily determinable fair market values. Overall, the amount of
supplementary capital included as part of total capital cannot exceed 100% of
core capital.
At June 30, 2006, Dearborn Savings Association's capital exceeded all
applicable requirements.
LOANS TO ONE BORROWER. A federal savings association generally may not
make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess
of 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus on an unsecured basis. An additional
amount may be loaned, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if the
loan is secured by readily marketable collateral, which generally does not
include real estate. As of June 30, 2006, Dearborn Savings Association was in
compliance with the loans-to-one-borrower limitations.
QUALIFIED THRIFT LENDER TEST. As a federal savings association,
Dearborn Savings Association is subject to a qualified thrift lender, or "QTL,"
test. Under the QTL test, Dearborn Savings Association must maintain at least
65% of its "portfolio assets" in "qualified thrift investments" in at least nine
months of the most recent 12-month period. "Portfolio assets" generally means
total assets of a savings institution, less the sum of specified liquid assets
up to 20% of total assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, and the value
of property used in the conduct of the savings association's business.
Dearborn Savings Association also may satisfy the QTL test by
qualifying as a "domestic building and loan association" as defined in the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
A savings association that fails the QTL test must either convert to a
bank charter or operate under specified restrictions. At June 30, 2006, Dearborn
Savings Association maintained approximately 65.35% of its portfolio assets in
qualified thrift investments, and therefore satisfied the QTL test.
CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations govern
capital distributions by a federal savings association, which include cash
dividends, stock repurchases and other transactions charged to the institution's
capital account. A savings association must file an application for approval of
a capital distribution if:
o the total capital distributions for the applicable calendar year
exceed the sum of the savings association's net income for that
year to date plus the savings association's retained net income
for the preceding two years;
o the savings association would not be at least adequately
capitalized following the distribution;
o the distribution would violate any applicable statute,
regulation, agreement or Office of Thrift Supervision-imposed
condition; or
o the savings association is not eligible for expedited treatment
of its filings.
Even if an application is not otherwise required, every savings
association that is a subsidiary of a holding company must still file a notice
with the Office of Thrift Supervision at least 30 days before the board of
directors declares a dividend or approves a capital distribution.
The Office of Thrift Supervision may disapprove a notice or application
if:
o the savings association would be undercapitalized following the
distribution;
o the proposed capital distribution raises safety and soundness
concerns; or
o the capital distribution would violate a prohibition contained in
any statute, regulation or agreement.
19
LIQUIDITY. A federal savings association is required to maintain a
sufficient amount of liquid assets to ensure its safe and sound operation.
COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT AND FAIR LENDING LAWS. All savings
associations have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act and
related regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision to help meet the credit
needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. In
connection with its examination of a federal savings association, the Office of
Thrift Supervision is required to assess the savings association's record of
compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. In addition, the Equal Credit
Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit lenders from discriminating in
their lending practices on the basis of characteristics specified in those
statutes. A savings association's failure to comply with the provisions of the
Community Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in regulatory
restrictions on its activities. The failure to comply with the Equal Credit
Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act could result in enforcement actions by
the Office of Thrift Supervision, as well as other federal regulatory agencies
and the Department of Justice. Dearborn Savings Association received a
"satisfactory" Community Reinvestment Act rating in its most recent federal
examination.
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES. A federal savings association's
authority to engage in transactions with its "affiliates" is limited by Office
of Thrift Supervision regulations and by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal
Reserve Act. The term "affiliates" for these purposes generally means any
company that controls or is under common control with an institution. DSA
Financial Corporation and its non-savings institution subsidiaries will be
affiliates of Dearborn Savings Association. In general, transactions with
affiliates must be on terms that are as favorable to the savings association as
comparable transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain types of these
transactions are restricted to an aggregate percentage of the savings
association's capital. Collateral in specified amounts must usually be provided
by affiliates in order to receive loans from the savings association. In
addition, Office of Thrift Supervision regulations prohibit a savings
association from lending to any of its affiliates that are engaged in activities
that are not permissible for bank holding companies and from purchasing the
securities of any affiliate, other than a subsidiary.
Dearborn Savings Association's authority to extend credit to its
directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders, as well as to entities
controlled by such persons, is currently governed by the requirements of
Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O of the
Federal Reserve Board. Among other things, these provisions require that
extensions of credit to insiders (i) be made on terms that are substantially the
same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent
than, those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons and
that do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other
unfavorable features, and (ii) not exceed certain limitations on the amount of
credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits
are based, in part, on the amount of Dearborn Savings Association's capital. In
addition, extensions of credit in excess of certain limits must be approved by
Dearborn Savings Association's board of directors.
ENFORCEMENT. The Office of Thrift Supervision has primary enforcement
responsibility over federal savings associations and has the authority to bring
enforcement action against all "institution-affiliated parties," including
stockholders, attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly
participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on an
association. Formal enforcement action may range from the issuance of a capital
directive or cease and desist order to removal of officers and/or directors of
the association, receivership, conservatorship or the termination of deposit
insurance. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and actions, and
range up to $25,000 per day, unless a finding of reckless disregard is made, in
which case penalties may be as high as $1 million per day. The Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation also has the authority to recommend to the Director of the
Office of Thrift Supervision that enforcement action be taken with respect to a
particular savings association. If action is not taken by the Director, the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority to take action under
specified circumstances.
STANDARDS FOR SAFETY AND SOUNDNESS. Federal law requires each federal
banking agency to prescribe certain standards for all insured depository
institutions. These standards relate to, among other things, internal controls,
information systems and audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting,
interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, compensation, and other operational
and managerial standards as the agency deems appropriate. The federal banking
agencies adopted Interagency Guidelines Prescribing Standards for Safety and
20
Soundness to implement the safety and soundness standards required under federal
law. The guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the
federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured
depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. The guidelines address
internal controls and information systems, internal audit systems, credit
underwriting, loan documentation, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth,
compensation, fees and benefits. If the appropriate federal banking agency
determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the
guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an
acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. If an institution fails
to meet these standards, the appropriate federal banking agency may require the
institution to submit a compliance plan.
PROMPT CORRECTIVE ACTION REGULATIONS. Under the prompt corrective
action regulations, the Office of Thrift Supervision is required and authorized
to take supervisory actions against undercapitalized savings associations. For
this purpose, a savings association is placed in one of the following five
categories based on the savings association's capital:
o well-capitalized (at least 5% leverage capital, 6% tier 1
risk-based capital and 10% total risk-based capital);
o adequately capitalized (at least 4% leverage capital, 4% tier 1
risk-based capital and 8% total risk-based capital);
o undercapitalized (less than 3% leverage capital, 4% tier 1
risk-based capital or 8% total risk-based capital);
o significantly undercapitalized (less than 3% leverage capital, 3%
tier 1 risk-based capital or 6% total risk-based capital); and
o critically undercapitalized (less than 2% tangible capital).
Generally, the Office of Thrift Supervision is required to appoint a
receiver or conservator for a savings association that is "critically
undercapitalized." The regulation also provides that a capital restoration plan
must be filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision within 45 days of the date a
savings association receives notice that it is "undercapitalized,"
"significantly undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized." In addition,
numerous mandatory supervisory actions become immediately applicable to the
savings association, including, but not limited to, restrictions on growth,
investment activities, capital distributions and affiliate transactions. The
Office of Thrift Supervision may also take any one of a number of discretionary
supervisory actions against undercapitalized savings associations, including the
issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers
and directors.
At June 30, 2006, Dearborn Savings Association met the criteria for
being considered "well-capitalized."
INSURANCE OF DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. Dearborn Savings Association's deposit
accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, generally up
to a maximum of $100,000 per separately insured depositor. Dearborn Savings
Association's deposits, therefore, are subject to Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation deposit insurance assessments. The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation has adopted a risk-based system for determining deposit insurance
assessments. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is authorized to raise
the assessment rates as necessary to maintain the required ratio of reserves to
insured deposits of 1.25%.
On February 15, 2006, federal legislation to reform federal deposit
insurance was enacted. This new legislation requires, among other things, an
increase in the amount of federal deposit insurance coverage from $100,000 to
$130,000 (with a cost of living adjustment to become effective in five years).
The Act also requires the reserve ratio to be modified to provide for a range
between 1.15% and 1.50% of estimated insured deposits. The new legislation
requires the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to issue regulations
implementing the law. The changes required by the law will not become effective
until final regulations have been issued, which must be no later than 270 days
from the date of the enactment of the legislation.
21
Beginning April 1, 2006, deposit insurance coverage on certain
retirement accounts at a bank or savings institution was increased from $100,000
to $250,000.
Effective March 31, 2006, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
merged the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and the Savings Association Insurance
Fund ("SAIF") into a single fund called the Deposit Insurance Fund. As a result
of the merger, the BIF and the SAIF were abolished. The merger of the BIF and
the SAIF into the Deposit Insurance Fund does not affect the authority of the
Financing Corporation ("FICO") to impose and collect, with the approval of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, assessments for anticipated payments,
issuance costs and custodial fees on bonds issued by the FICO in the 1980s to
recapitalize the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The bonds
issued by the FICO are due to mature in 2017 through 2019. For the quarter ended
June 30, 2006, the FICO assessment was equal to 1.28 basis points for each $100
in domestic deposits maintained at an institution.
PROHIBITIONS AGAINST TYING ARRANGEMENTS. Federal savings associations
are prohibited, subject to some exceptions, from extending credit to or offering
any other service, or fixing or varying the consideration for such extension of
credit or service, on the condition that the customer obtain some additional
service from the savings association or its affiliates or not obtain services of
a competitor of the savings association.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM. Dearborn Savings Association is a member
of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 12 regional Federal Home
Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank System provides a central credit facility
primarily for member institutions. As a member of The Federal Home Loan Bank of
Indianapolis, Dearborn Savings Association is required to acquire and hold
shares of capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank in an amount at least
equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of its unpaid residential mortgage
loans and similar obligations at the beginning of each year, or 1/20 of its
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, whichever is greater. As of June 30,
2006, Dearborn Savings Association was in compliance with this requirement.
OTHER REGULATIONS. Interest and other charges collected or contracted
for by the Bank are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning
interest rates. The Bank's operations are also subject to federal laws
applicable to credit transactions, such as the:
o Truth-In-Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to
consumer borrowers;
o Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975, requiring financial
institutions to provide information to enable the public and
public officials to determine whether a financial institution is
fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the
community it serves;
o Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the
basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending
credit;
o Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1978, governing the use and
provision of information to credit reporting agencies;
o Fair Debt Collection Act, governing the manner in which consumer
debts may be collected by collection agencies; and
o rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged
with the responsibility of implementing such federal laws.
Dearborn Savings Association's operations also are subject to the:
o Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain
confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes
procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of
financial records;
22
o Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E promulgated
thereunder, which govern automatic deposits to and withdrawals
from deposit accounts and customers' rights and liabilities
arising from the use of automated teller machines and other
electronic banking services;
o Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (also known as "Check
21"), which gives "substitute checks," such as digital check
images and copies made from that image, the same legal standing
as the original paper check;
o Title III of The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing
Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism
Act of 2001 (referred to as the "USA PATRIOT Act"), which
significantly expanded the responsibilities of financial
institutions, including savings and loan associations, in
preventing the use of the U.S. financial system to fund terrorist
activities. Among other provisions, the USA PATRIOT Act and the
related regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision require
savings associations operating in the United States to develop
new anti-money laundering compliance programs, due diligence
policies and controls to ensure the detection and reporting of
money laundering. Such required compliance programs are intended
to supplement existing compliance requirements, also applicable
to financial institutions, under the Bank Secrecy Act and the
Office of Foreign Assets Control Regulations; and
o The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which placed limitations on the
sharing of consumer financial information by financial
institutions with unaffiliated third parties. Specifically, the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires all financial institutions
offering financial products or services to retail customers to
provide such customers with the financial institution's privacy
policy and provide such customers the opportunity to "opt out" of
the sharing of certain personal financial information with
unaffiliated third parties.
HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION
DSA Financial Corporation is a unitary savings and loan holding
company, subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of Thrift
Supervision. The Office of Thrift Supervision has enforcement authority over DSA
Financial Corporation and its non-savings institution subsidiaries. Among other
things, this authority permits the Office of Thrift Supervision to restrict or
prohibit activities that are determined to be a risk to Dearborn Savings
Association.
Under prior law, a unitary savings and loan holding company generally
had no regulatory restrictions on the types of business activities in which it
could engage, provided that its subsidiary savings association was a qualified
thrift lender. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, however, restricts unitary
savings and loan holding companies not existing on, or applied for before, May
4, 1999, to those activities permissible for financial holding companies or for
multiple savings and loan holding companies. DSA Financial Corporation is not be
a grandfathered unitary savings and loan holding company and, therefore, is
limited to the activities permissible for financial holding companies or for
multiple savings and loan holding companies. A financial holding company may
engage in activities that are financial in nature, including underwriting equity
securities and insurance, incidental to financial activities or complementary to
a financial activity. A multiple savings and loan holding company is generally
limited to activities permissible for bank holding companies under Section
4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act, subject to the prior approval of the
Office of Thrift Supervision, and certain additional activities authorized by
Office of Thrift Supervision regulations.
Federal law prohibits a savings and loan holding company, directly or
indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, from acquiring control of
another savings institution or holding company thereof, without prior written
approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. It also prohibits the acquisition
or retention of, with specified exceptions, more than 5% of the equity
securities of a company engaged in activities that are not closely related to
banking or financial in nature or acquiring or retaining control of an
institution that is not federally insured. In evaluating applications by holding
companies to acquire savings institutions, the Office of Thrift Supervision must
consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the
savings institution involved, the effect of
23
the acquisition on the risk to the insurance fund, the convenience and needs of
the community and competitive factors.
SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 addresses, among other issues, corporate
governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and
timely disclosure of corporate information. As directed by the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer each will
be required to certify that our quarterly and annual reports do not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact. The rules adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have several
requirements, including having these officers certify that: they are responsible
for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of our
internal controls; they have made certain disclosures to our auditors and the
audit committee of the board of directors about our internal controls; and they
have included information in our quarterly and annual reports about their
evaluation and whether there have been significant changes in our internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls.
Section of 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act is applicable to DSA Financial
Corporation under existing rules for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.
Implementation is scheduled to begin during fiscal 2008 and is anticipated to
have an impact on earnings.
