CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS (Unaudited) (Dollars in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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, 2000, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions of Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not purport to contain all necessary financial disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances, and should be read in conjunction with financial statements, and notes thereto, of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 1999, included in its 1999 annual report. Refer to the accounting policies of the Corporation described in the notes to financial statements contained in the Corporation's 1999 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 subsidiary, The Delaware County Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank"). The financial statements of the Bank include accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, D.C.B. Corporation and 362 Corp. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Corporation's revenues, operating income and assets are primarily from the banking industry. The Corporation operates 16 offices in Delaware, Franklin and Union Counties, Ohio. Loan customers include a wide range of individuals, businesses and other organizations. Major portions of loans are secured by various forms of collateral including real estate, business assets, consumer property and other items. The Corporation's primary funding source is deposits from customers in its market area. The Corporation also purchases investments, operates a trust department and engages in mortgage banking operations. To prepare financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures provided; future results could differ. The collectibility of loans, fair value of financial instruments and status of contingencies are particularly subject to change. Income tax expense is the sum of current-year income tax due or refundable and change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax consequences of 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 computations are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 4,178,200 for both the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) 8. 9 DCB FINANCIAL CORP.

At March 31, 2000, 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, 2000, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations.

NOTE 5 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK Various contingent liabilities are not reflected in the financial statements, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on financial condition or results of operations. The Corporation grants residential, consumer, and commercial loans to customers located primarily in Delaware, Franklin, Union and surrounding counties in Ohio. Most loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and residences. The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet financing needs of its customers. The contract amount of these instruments are not included in the consolidated financial statements. At March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the contract amount of these instruments, which primarily include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, totaled approximately $23,119 and $24,932. Of these commitments, fixed-rate commitments totaled $6,505 and $6,589 at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999. Since many commitments to make loans expire without being used, the amount does not represent future cash commitments. The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to make loans and lines and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Corporation follows the same credit policy to make such commitments as is followed for those loans recorded in the financial statements. In management's opinion, these commitments represent normal banking transactions and no material losses are expected to result therefrom. Collateral obtained upon exercise of the commitments is determined using management's credit evaluations of the borrower and may include real estate, business or consumer assets. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11. 12 DCB FINANCIAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999, and the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. This discussion is designed to provide shareholders with a more comprehensive review of the operating results and financial position than could be obtained from an examination of the financial statements alone. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes and the selected financial data included elsewhere in this report. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS When used in this document, the words or phrases "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimated," "projected," or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including changes in economic conditions in the Corporation's market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the Corporation's market area and competition, that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. Factors listed above could affect the Corporation's financial performance and could cause the Corporation's actual results for future periods to differ materially from any statements expressed with respect to future periods. The Corporation does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION The Corporation's assets totaled $454,562 at March 31, 2000 compared to $430,005 at December 31, 1999, an increase of $24,557, or 5.7%. The increase in assets was the result of an increase in loans partially offset by a decrease in federal funds sold and securities. Federal funds sold decreased $650, from $4,800 at December 31, 1999 to $4,150 at March 31, 2000. This decrease was the result of the Corporation decreasing its investment in federal funds sold to fund loan growth during the three months ended March 31, 2000. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12. 13 DCB FINANCIAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total securities decreased $2,904, or 2.3%, from $127,154 at December 31, 1999 to $124,250 at March 31, 2000. The decrease was the result of the proceeds from maturities, calls and principal repayments not being reinvested due to an increase in loan demand during the three months ended March 31, 2000. The Corporation invests primarily in U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. government agencies, municipal bonds, corporate obligations and mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities include Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") and Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") participation certificates. Securities classified as available for sale totaled $91,043, or 73.3% of the total securities portfolio, at March 31, 2000. Management classifies securities as available for sale to provide the Corporation with the flexibility to move funds into loans as demand warrants. The mortgage-backed securities portfolio, totaling $56,480 at March 31, 2000, provides the Corporation with a constant cash flow stream from principal repayments. The Corporation held no derivative securities or structured notes during any period presented. Total loans increased $23,599, or 8.5%, from $277,468 at December 31, 1999 to $301,067 at March 31, 2000. The majority of the growth was experienced in commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans which increased $2,281, or 5.8%, and $8,035, or 9.7%, respectively. The Corporation attributes this growth to a strong local economy and the large number of businesses moving into the market area. There is no significant concentration of lending to any one industry. There was also growth in residential real estate and home equity loans of $4,745, or 6.8%, construction loans, both residential and commercial, of $2,465, or 8.3%, and consumer and credit card loans of $5,452, or 11.9%. Due to the loan growth, the gross loan to deposit ratio increased to 76.0% at March 31, 2000, compared to 74.7% at December 31, 1999. Total deposits increased $24,397, or 6.6%, from $371,799 at December 31, 1999 to $396,196 at March 31, 2000. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $2,601, or 4.6%, while interest-bearing deposits increased $21,796, or 6.9%. Interest-bearing demand and money market deposits comprised 58.8% of total interest-bearing deposits at March 31, 2000 compared to 60.6% of total interest-bearing deposits at December 31, 1999. The Corporation did however experience a $7,046, or 3.7%, increase in volume in such accounts. The increase was primarily in the Corporation's "Superior Money Market" deposit accounts, which offer a variable interest rate tied to the 3 Month Treasury Bill. The Corporation experienced a slight decrease in savings deposits, which decreased from 13.1% of total interest-bearing deposits at December 31, 1999 to 12.8% of total interest-bearing deposits at March 31, 2000. Certificates of deposit increased $15,137, or 18.8%, comprising 28.5% of total interest-bearing deposits at March 31, 2000 compared to 25.6% of total interest-bearing deposits at December 31, 1999. The increase in certificates of deposit was primarily due to the increase of public fund certificates of deposit. At March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, borrowed funds consisted primarily of FHLB advances of $5,000 and $6,000 and a mortgage-matched advance from the FHLB with a remaining balance of $3,802 at March 31, 2000 and $3,889 at December 31, 1999. Due in May 2000, the $5,000 FHLB advance had an original term of 180 days and carries a fixed interest rate of 5.70% with interest due monthly. Due in June 2000, the $6,000 FHLB advance had an original term of 150 days and carries a rate of 6.24% with interest due monthly. Due in October 2008, the mortgage-matched advance had an original term of 10 years and carries a fixed interest rate of 5.10%. Principal and interest on the mortgage-matched advance are due monthly. Borrowed funds also include a demand note issued to the U.S. Treasury, which totaled $1,477 at March 31, 2000 and $2,000 at December 31, 1999. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13. 14 DCB FINANCIAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET INCOME. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 totaled $1,062, compared to net income of $1,225 for the same period in 1999. Earnings per share was $.25 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $.29 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income represents the amount by which interest income on interest-earning assets exceeds interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the largest component of the Corporation's income and is affected by the interest rate environment and the volume and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income was $3,980 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $3,836 for the same period in 1999. The $144 increase in 2000 over 1999 was the result of an increased volume of interest-earning assets partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing liabilities that carried a higher average yield. Management has elected to offer attractive, competitive rates to retain deposits, provided the funds can be invested in income-earning assets with adequate yields. PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES. The provision for loan and lease losses represents the charge to income necessary to adjust the allowance for loan and lease losses to an amount that represents management's assessment of the losses inherent in the Corporation's loan portfolio. All lending activity contains associated risks of losses and the Corporation recognizes these credit risks as a necessary element of its business activity. To assist in identifying and managing potential loan losses, the Corporation maintains a loan review function that regularly evaluates individual credit relationships as well as overall loan-portfolio conditions. One of the primary objectives of this loan review function is to make recommendations to management as to both specific loss reserves and overall portfolio-loss reserves. The provision for loan and lease losses totaled $322 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $224 for the same period in 1999. The growth in the provision is reflective of the overall growth in the Corporation's loan portfolio. Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $127 compared to net charge-offs of $180 for the same period in 1999. Management believes that the quality of the loan portfolio has remained relatively stable over the comparable year. The allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $2,988, or .99% of total loans and leases, at March 31, 2000 compared to $2,793, or 1.01% of total loans and leases, at December 31, 1999. The allowance was 414.42% of nonperforming loans at March 31, 2000, compared to 444.75% at December 31, 1999. Management believes increasing the allowance for loan and lease losses is prudent as total loans, particularly commercial, consumer and construction loans, and leases increase. NONINTEREST INCOME AND NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Total noninterest income decreased $232, or 18.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. The decrease was the result of a decrease in fee income from the Corporation's data service center due to a reduction in the number of customers served and decreased gains on loan sales (both servicing-released and service-retained) due to management's decision to keep a larger portion of those loans in the portfolio. These decreases were partially offset by increases in service charges on deposit accounts and trust department income. Total noninterest expense increased $91, or 3.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. The increase was primarily the result of increases in salaries and employee benefits and occupancy expense, where such increases made up $81 of the total increase. These were planned increases necessary to support the continued growth of the Corporation. Other changes in noninterest expense were not significant. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14. 15 DCB FINANCIAL CORP.

The volatility of income tax expense is primarily attributable to the change in income before income taxes. The provision for income taxes totaled $465, for an effective tax rate of 30.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and $578, for an effective tax rate of 32.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 1999. 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 institution's 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 $3,135, or 18.6%, to $19,973 at March 31, 2000 compared to $16,838 at December 31, 1999. Cash and equivalents represented 4.4% of total assets at March 31, 2000 and 3.9% of total assets at December 31, 1999. The Corporation has the ability to borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank and has various federal fund sources from correspondent banks, should the Corporation need to supplement its future liquidity needs in order to meet loan demand or to fund investment opportunities. Management believes the Corporation's liquidity position is strong based on its high 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 increased $352 between December 31, 1999 and March 31, 2000. The increase was primarily due to earnings retained partially offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Corporation purchased no shares of treasury stock during the three months ended March 31, 2000; however, management may purchase additional shares in the future, as opportunities arise. The number of shares to be purchased and the price to be paid will depend upon the availability of shares, the prevailing market prices and any other considerations, which may, in the opinion of the Corporation's Board of Directors or management, affect the advisability of purchasing shares. 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 14.1% at March 31, 2000, while the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.2%. 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, of 9.6% at March 31, 2000 exceeded the regulatory minimum for capital adequacy purposes of 4.0%. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15. 16 DCB FINANCIAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In 2000, the Corporation announced plans to construct a new corporate headquarters near Delaware, Ohio. As of March 31, 2000, the Corporation had paid costs of $25,000 related to the new corporate headquarters. IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Beginning January 1, 2001 a new accounting standard requires all derivatives to be recorded at fair value. Unless designated as hedges, changes in these fair values will be recorded in the income statement. Fair value changes involving hedges will generally be recorded by offsetting gains and losses on the hedge and on the hedged item, even if the fair value of the hedged item is not otherwise recorded. This standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation's financial condition or results of operations. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16. 17 DCB FINANCIAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 risks. Interest rate risk is the risk 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. There are several methods employed by the Corporation to monitor and control interest rate risk. One such method is using a gap analysis. The gap is defined as the repricing variance between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities within certain periods. The repricing can occur due to changes in rates on variable rate products as well as maturities of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. A high ratio of interest sensitive liabilities, generally referred to as a negative gap, tends to benefit net interest income during periods of falling interest rates as the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities declines faster than the average rate earned on interest-earning assets. The opposite holds true during periods of rising interest rates. The Corporation attempts to minimize the interest rate risk through management of the gap in order to achieve consistent shareholder return. The Corporation's asset and liability management policy is to maintain a laddered gap position. One strategy used by the Corporation is to originate variable rate loans tied to market indices. Such loans reprice on an annual, quarterly, monthly or daily basis as the underlying market indices change. As of March 31, 2000, $115,755, or 38.5%, of the Corporation's loan portfolio reprices on regular basis. The Corporation also invests excess funds in liquid federal funds that mature and reprice on a daily basis. The Corporation also maintains most of its securities in the available for sale portfolio to take advantage of interest rate swings and to maintain liquidity for loan funding and deposit withdrawals. The Corporation's 1999 annual report details a table, which provides information about the Company's financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 1999. The table is based on information and assumptions set forth in the notes. For loans, securities and liabilities with contractual maturities, the table represents principal cash flows and the weighted average interest rate. For variable rate loans the contractual maturity and weighted-average interest rate was used with an explanatory footnote as to repricing periods. For liabilities without contractual maturities such as demand and savings deposit accounts, a decay rate was utilized to match their most likely withdrawal behavior. Management believes that no events have occurred since December 31, 1999 which would significantly change the ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities for the given time horizons. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17. 18 DCB FINANCIAL CORP.
