NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These interim financial statements are prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of DCB Financial Corp (the “Corporation”) at March 31, 2007, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not purport to contain all necessary financial disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, included in its 2006 Annual Report. Refer to the accounting policies of the Corporation described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Corporation’s 2006 Annual Report. The Corporation has consistently followed these policies in preparing this Form 10-Q.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Delaware County Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”) and DCB Title Services, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Management considers the Corporation to operate within one business segment banking.

To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, fair values of financial instruments and status of contingencies are particularly subject to change.

Income tax expense is based on the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the entire year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Earnings per share

Earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed including the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares under stock options.

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2007		2006
Weighted-average common shares outstanding (basic)		3,787,533		3,821,202
Dilutive effect of assumed exercise of stock options		8,437		5,573
Weighted-average common shares outstanding (diluted)		3,795,970		3,826,775

Options to purchase 35,736 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $29.32 were outstanding as of March 31, 2007, but were excluded from the computation of common share equivalents for the period then ended because exercise price was greater than the average stock price. All outstanding options were included in the earnings per share calculation for the period ended March 31, 2006.

Stock option plan

The Corporation’s shareholders approved an employee share option plan in May 2004. This plan grants certain employees the right to purchase shares at a predetermined price. The plan is limited to 300,000 shares. The shares granted to employees vest 20% per year over a five year period. The options expire after ten years. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, 3,521 shares were issued to employees under the plan, at a price of $28.40. Approximately 16,727 shares will become exercisable during 2007.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 123(R) requires that cost related to the fair value of all equity-based awards to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the financial statements.

The Corporation has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) effective January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective transition method, as permitted, and therefore has not restated its financial statements for prior periods. Under this method, the Corporation has applied the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) to new equity-based awards and to equity-based awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after January 1, 2006. In addition, the Corporation has recognized compensation cost for the portion of unvested equity-based awards for which the requisite service period had not been rendered as of January 1, 2006. The compensation cost recorded for unvested equity-based awards is based on their grant-date fair value. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, and 2006, the Company recorded $14 and $3 thousand after tax in compensation cost for equity-based awards that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The Corporation has $124 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested equity-based awards granted under its stock incentive plan as of March 31, 2007, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 9 years.

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the modified Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants: dividend yield of 2.25% and 2.0% for 2007 and 2006, respectively; expected volatility of 14.0% for 2007 and 2006, respectively; risk-free interest rates with 4.78% and 4.25% for 2007 and 2006, respectively; and expected lives of 10 years for each grant. At March 31, 2007, outstanding options had no intrinsic value.

The expected term of the options is based on evaluations of historical and expected future employee exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the US Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant date. Volatility is based on historical volatility of the Corporation’s stock.

The Corporation adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” on January 1, 2007. Previously, the Corporation had accounted for tax contingencies in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” As required by Interpretation 48, which clarifies Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” the Corporation recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. At the adoption date, the Corporation applied Interpretation 48 to all tax positions for which the stature of limitations remained open. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48, the Corporation was not required to record any liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007. There have been no material changes in unrecognized tax benefits since January 1, 2007.

The Corporation is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as various state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. With few exceptions, the Corporation is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2003.

The Corporation will recognize, if applicable, interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

Newly Issued Accounting Standards: In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,” to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. Specifically, SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities,” to allow a qualifying special purpose entity to hold a derivative instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.

SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, or January 1, 2007 as to the Corporation, with earlier application allowed. The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 155 as of January 1, 2007 without material effect on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets — an amendment of SFAS No. 140,” to simplify the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. Specifically, SFAS No. 156 amends SFAS No. 140 to require an entity to take the following steps:

• Separately recognize financial assets as servicing assets or servicing liabilities, each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into certain kinds of servicing contracts;

• Initially measure all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities at fair value, if practicable, and;

• Separately present servicing assets and liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosure for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.

Additionally, SFAS No. 156 permits, but does not require, an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for measuring each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.

10.

DCB FINANCIAL CORP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands)

SFAS No. 156 also permits a servicer that uses derivative financial instruments to offset risks on servicing to use fair value measurement when reporting both the derivative financial instrument and related servicing asset or liability.

SFAS No. 156 applies to all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, or January 1, 2007 as to the Corporation, with earlier application permitted. The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 156 as of January 1, 2007 without material effect on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations. The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 156 as of January 1, 2007, applying the amortization method without financial statement effect. The Corporation’s mortgage servicing assets total less $60,000 at March 31, 2007 and, therefore, the remaining disclosures required under SFAS No. 156 have been omitted.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and should be determined based on assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability. This Statement clarifies that market participant assumptions should include assumptions about risk as well as the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. Additionally, this Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that provides the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, or January 1, 2008 as to the Corporation, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force’s (EITF) Issue 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” which requires companies to recognize a liability and related compensation costs for endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies that provide a benefit to an employee extending to postretirement periods. The liability should be recognized based on the substantive agreement with the employee. This Issue is effective beginning January 1, 2008. The Issue can be applied as either a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption, or a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all periods. The Corporation is in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of Issue 06-4 will have on the financial statements, but does not believe that EITF 06-4 will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified a consensus opinion reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) on EITF Issue 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance — Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4.” The guidance in EITF Issue 06-5 requires policyholders to consider other amounts included in the contractual terms of an insurance policy, in addition to cash surrender value, for purposes of determining the amount that could be realized under the terms of the insurance contract. If it is probable that contractual terms would limit the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract, those contractual limitations should be considered when determining the realizable amounts. The amount that could be realized under the insurance contract should be determined on an individual policy (or certificate) level and should include any amount realized on the assumed surrender of the last individual policy or certificate in a group policy.

The Company holds a number of life insurance policies, however, the policies do not contain any provisions that would restrict or reduce the cash surrender value of the policies. The consensus in EITF Issue 06-5 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company applied the guidance in EITF Issue 06-5 effective January 1, 2007 without effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” This Statement allows companies the choice to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long term measurement objectives for accounting for

11.

financial instruments. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, or January 1, 2008 as to the Corporation, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No.157, “Fair Value Measurements.” The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the financial statements.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

DCB’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and follow general practices within the financial services industry. The application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments.

The most significant accounting policies followed by the Corporation are presented in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Corporation’s 2006 Annual Report. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in this financial review, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined.

Management has the intent and ability to hold these securities for the foreseeable future and the decline in the fair value is primarily due to an increase in market interest rates. The fair values are expected to recover as the securities approach maturity dates.

Substantially all mortgage-backed securities are backed by pools of mortgages that are insured or guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”).

At March 31, 2007, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at March 31, 2007, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations. Mortgage-backed securities are shown separately since they are not due at a single maturity date.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

INTRODUCTION

In the following pages, management presents an analysis of the consolidated financial condition of DCB Financial Corp (the “Corporation”) at March 31, 2007, compared to December 31, 2006, and the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. This discussion is designed to provide shareholders with a more comprehensive review of the operating results and financial position than could be obtained from reading the consolidated financial statements alone. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes and the selected financial data included elsewhere in this report.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Corporation’s assets totaled $687,864 at March 31, 2007, compared to $681,872 at December 31, 2006, an increase of $5,992, or 3.6%, on an annualized basis. The increase in assets generally came from an increase in cash and cash equivalents. The additional cash and cash equivalent balances was supplied through deposit growth, in preparation for the reduction of future borrowing maturities.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $8,951 from December 31, 2006 to March 31, 2007. Total securities decreased $21, from $88,071 at December 31, 2006 to $88,050 at March 31, 2007. Securities and investment securities classified as available for sale at March 31, 2007 totaled $88,050, or 100% of the total securities portfolio. Management classifies securities as available for sale to provide the Corporation with the flexibility to move funds into loans if

favorable economic conditions warrant. The Corporation invests primarily in U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. government agencies, municipal bonds, corporate obligations and mortgage-backed securities. The mortgage-backed securities portfolio, totaling $34,456 at March 31, 2007, provides the Corporation with a constant cash flow stream from principal repayments and interest payments. The Corporation held no structured notes during any period presented.

Total loans, including loans held for sale, decreased $5,688, or 1.0%, from $553,918 at December 31, 2006 to $548,230 at March 31, 2007. The Bank continues to capture a large percentage of the economic development activity within its geographic region. The decline in loans is not reflective of loss in market share, but is primarily attributable to the Bank’s decision to exit the indirect lending market due to tight margins. The Bank has also experienced a decline in loan balances due to unscheduled payoffs in the commercial portfolio due to intense competitive pricing and a significant reduction in investment property lending activities. The Bank’s local market continues to experience strong commercial real estate development activity and the pipeline in this portfolio is strong. Other loan categories in which the Corporation participates, commercial, industrial and consumer financing remained relatively stable or experienced small increases in loans outstanding. The Bank has no significant loan concentration in any one industry.

Total deposits increased $12,345, or 2.4%, from $524,094 at December 31, 2006 to $536,439 at March 31, 2007. This growth is mainly attributed to the increase in deposit activity from the Corporation’s larger public fund customers. The Corporation utilizes a variety of alternative funding sources to overcome the competitive challenges experienced within its primary market. Continued reliance on outside funding rather than lower cost deposits could increase the Corporation’s overall cost of funds. Management intends to continue to develop new products, and to monitor the rate structure of its deposit products to encourage the growth within its deposit liabilities. In the past, the Bank has been able to utilize brokered certificates of deposits and money market sweeps, which provides additional funding for the Company’s loan portfolio. The Bank had approximately $25,040 in brokered certificates of deposit outstanding, a decrease of $7,093 from March 31, 2006. Growth of core deposits remains difficult due to the competition in the Corporation’s geographic area attributable to the increase of competitors’ branch locations. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $10,066, or 14.3%, while interest bearing deposits increased $22,411, or 4.9%. Total borrowings decreased to $89,601 from $95,512 during the three months ended March 31, 2007. Typically, the Company utilizes a matched funding methodology for its borrowing and deposit activities. This is done by matching the rates, terms and expected cash flows of its loans to the various liability products. This matching principle is used to not only provide funding, but also as a means of mitigating interest rate risk associated with originating longer-term fixed rate loans. Continued reliance on borrowings outside of normal deposit growth could continue an increase in the Corporation’s overall cost of funds.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income.Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 totaled $1,511, compared to net income of $1,860 for the same period in 2006. Earnings per share was $.40 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $.49 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, a quarter over quarter decrease of 18.4%. The decrease in net income was related principally to the absence of loan growth due to pricing competition and higher borrowing and deposit costs associated with the continued shift from low rate deposits into more expensive deposit products. Also, increased credit costs related to the investment property portfolio negatively impacted the quarter. The credit issues associated with the investment property portfolio are similar to those being experienced by the overall banking industry.

Net Interest Income.Net interest income represents the amount by which interest income on interest-earning assets exceeds interest paid or accrued on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the largest component of the Corporation’s income, and is affected by the interest rate environment, the volume, and the composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

DCB FINANCIAL CORP
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

With a flat yield curve, the deposit mix shift and lack of loan growth, the Corporation’s net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2007 declined compared to the same period in 2006. Net interest income was $5,479 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $5,823 for the same period in 2006. The $344 decrease in the first quarter 2007 compared to 2006 was mainly attributed to higher borrowing and deposit costs associated with the current interest rate environment. The Asset/Liability Management Committee, which is responsible for determining deposit rates, continues to closely monitor the Bank’s cost of funds to take advantage of pricing and cash flow opportunities. Additionally, because of the increased competition in the Bank’s primary marketplace, management has continued to recognize the importance of offering special rates on certain deposit products. These special deposit rates tend to negatively affect the Corporation’s net interest margin. It is likely that these offerings will continue to be offered to secure liquidity while maintaining market share.

The Company’s first quarter’s net interest margin decreased to 3.49% on a fully tax equivalent basis, from 3.62% during the first quarter 2006. The decline is primarily attributed to funding loans and investments through higher cost deposits and other borrowings. The Bank has seen deposit growth primarily in products such as time deposits and money market accounts, which generally carry higher costs compared to checking and savings products. Funding costs may further negatively impact the net interest margin in future periods if the current competitive and inverted yield curve rate environments remain in effect. The Corporation has been able to reduce its overall borrowings due to the slower loan growth by replacing them with deposits.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses.The provision for loan losses represents the charge to income necessary to adjust the allowance for loan losses to an amount that represents management’s assessment of the losses known and inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio. All lending activity contains associated risks of loan losses and the Bank recognizes these credit risks as a necessary element of its business activity.

The provision for loan losses totaled $615 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $560 for the same period in 2006. DCB maintains an allowance for loan losses at a level to absorb management’s estimate of probable inherent credit losses in its portfolio. The largest percentage of charge-offs during 2007 was mainly attributed to the economic conditions that affected the investment property and indirect portfolios. Non-accrual loans for the period ending March 31, 2007 declined slightly to $5.044 million compared to $5.189 million for the period ending December 31, 2006. The majority of non-accrual balances are attributed to loans in the investment real estate sector that were not currently generating sufficient cash flow to service the debt. In addition, delinquent loans over thirty days decreased slightly to 2.94% at March 31, 2007 from 2.96% at December 31, 2006. Management will continue to focus on activities related to monitoring, collection, and workout of delinquent loans. Management also continues to monitor exposure to industry segments, and believes that the loan portfolio remains adequately diversified. Management will continue to monitor the credit quality of the lending portfolio and will recognize additional provisions in the future to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level. The allowance for loan losses was stable at $5,344, or .98% of total loans at March 31, 2007, compared to $5,442, or .99% of total loans at December 31, 2006.

Noninterest Income.Total noninterest income increased $95, or 6.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. The Corporation experienced increases in trust, data processing, gains on sales of mortgage loans in the secondary market. These increases are generally attributed to a higher number of accounts and customers served by the Corporation. In addition, the Corporation experienced an increase in other income mainly attributable to the Corporation’s consolidated affiliate. This increase was generally due to title services provided by the Corporation and a higher number of customers served. Revenues from other services offered by the Bank generally remained at levels consistent with the prior year.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Noninterest Expense.Total noninterest expense increased $189, or 4.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily the result of planned staff additions, occupancy expense related to the Corporation’s branch expansion, and the increase in compensation and employee benefits attributable to merit increases. The branch expansion program, while initially costly, is critical to the long term success in our growing market.

Income Taxes.The change of income tax expense is primarily attributable to the increase in tax exempt earnings primarily offset by municipal income and an increase in bank owned life insurance in income before income taxes. The provision for income taxes totaled $641, for an effective tax rate of 29.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and $785, for an effective tax rate of 29.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity is the ability of the Corporation to fund customers’ needs for borrowing and deposit withdrawals. The purpose of liquidity management is to assure sufficient cash flow to meet all of the financial commitments and to capitalize on opportunities for business expansion. This ability depends on the financial strength, asset quality and types of deposit and investment instruments offered by the Corporation to its customers. The Corporation’s principal sources of funds are deposits, loan and security repayments, maturities of securities, sales of securities available for sale and other funds provided by operations. The Bank also has the ability to borrow from the FHLB. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan and mortgage-backed security prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions, and competition. The Corporation maintains investments in liquid assets based upon management’s assessment of (1) need for funds, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on short-term liquid assets and (4) objectives of the asset/liability management program.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $8,951, or 56.3%, to $24,845 at March 31, 2007 compared to $15,894 at December 31, 2006. Cash and equivalents represented 3.6% of total assets at March 31, 2007 and 2.3% of total assets at December 31, 2006. The Corporation has the ability to borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank and has various correspondent banking partners to purchase overnight federal funds should the Corporation need to supplement its future liquidity needs. Management believes the Corporation’s liquidity position is adequate based on its current level of cash, cash equivalents, core deposits, the stability of its other funding sources, and the support provided by its capital base.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total shareholders’ equity decreased $1,178 between December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to period earnings of $1,511, offset by the declaration of $534 in dividends and the repurchase of 79,644 shares for a total of $2.25 million (average of $28.25 per share).

Tier 1 capital is shareholders’ equity excluding the unrealized gain or loss on securities classified as available for sale and intangible assets. Total capital includes Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses, not to exceed 1.25% of risk weighted assets. Risk weighted assets are the Corporation’s total assets after such assets are assessed for risk and assigned a weighting factor defined by regulation based on their inherent risk.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries meet all regulatory capital requirements. The ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets was 11.8% at March 31, 2007, while the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 10.9%. Regulatory minimums call for a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, at least half of which must be Tier 1 capital. The Corporation’s leverage ratio, defined as Tier 1 capital divided by average assets, was 8.7% at March 31, 2007.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND MARKET RISK

The Corporation’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. Interest rate risk is the possibility that the Corporation’s financial condition will be adversely affected due to movements in interest rates. The income of financial institutions is primarily derived from the excess of interest earned on interest-earning assets over the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Accordingly, the Corporation places great importance on monitoring and controlling interest rate risk. The measurement and analysis of the exposure of the Corporation’s primary operating subsidiary, The Delaware County Bank and Trust Company, to changes in the interest rate environment are referred to as asset/liability management. One method used to analyze the Corporation’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates is the “net portfolio value” (“NPV”) methodology.

NPV is generally considered to be the present value of the difference between expected incoming cash flows on interest-earning and other assets and expected outgoing cash flows on interest-bearing and other liabilities. For example, the asset/liability model that the Corporation currently employs attempts to measure the change in NPV for a variety of interest rate scenarios, typically for parallel shifts of 100 to 300 basis points in market rates.

The Corporation’s 2006 Annual Report includes a table depicting the changes in the Corporation’s interest rate risk as of December 31, 2006, as measured by changes in NPV for instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts of -100 to +300 basis points in market interest rates. Management believes that no events have occurred since December 31, 2006 that would significantly change their ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities.

The Corporation’s NPV is more sensitive to rising rates than declining rates. From an overall perspective, such difference in sensitivity occurs principally because, as rates rise, borrowers do not prepay fixed-rate loans as quickly as they do when interest rates are declining. Thus, in a rising interest rate environment, because the Corporation has fixed-rate loans in its loan portfolio, the amount of interest the Corporation would receive on its loans would increase relatively slowly as loans are slowly prepaid and new loans at higher rates are made. Moreover, the interest the Corporation would pay on its deposits would increase rapidly because the Corporation’s deposits generally have shorter periods for repricing.

19.

DCB FINANCIAL CORP
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

The corporation can utilize various tools to reduce exposure to changes in interest rates including offering floating versus fixed rate products, or utilizing interest rate swaps. Additional consideration should also be given to today’s current interest rate levels. Several deposit products are within 200 basis points of zero percent and other products within 300 basis points. Should rates decline, fewer liabilities could be repriced down to offset potentially lower yields on loans. Thus decreases could also impact future earnings and the Corporation’s NPV.

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the NPV approach. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayment on loans and mortgage-backed securities and early withdrawal levels from certificates of deposit would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in making risk calculations.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2007, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2007, in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
