Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan, as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and is not a required part of the financial statements. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements, and in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ Crowe, Chizek and Company LLP Crowe, Chizek and Company LLP Columbus, Ohio April 16, 2002 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 THE DELAWARE COUNTY BANK AND TRUST COMPANY EMPLOYEE 401(k) RETIREMENT PLAN STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS December 31, 2001 and 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- ASSETS Investments at fair value (Note 4) $3,357,573 $2,835,840 Cash 185 25,298 Receivables: Accrued dividends 1,611 4,013 Employer contributions 45,045 4,408 Employee contributions 14,086 11,127 ---------- ---------- Total receivables 60,742 19,548 ---------- ---------- Net assets available for benefits $3,418,500 $2,880,686 ========== ========== - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- See accompanying notes to financial statements. 2.

THE DELAWARE COUNTY BANK AND TRUST COMPANY EMPLOYEE 401(k) RETIREMENT PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2001 and 2000 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN The following description of The Delaware County Bank and Trust Company Employee 401(k) Retirement Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. GENERAL: The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible employees of The Delaware County Bank and Trust Company (the "Company"). All employees who are at least 20 years of age and complete one year of service are eligible to be in the Plan. Each employee enters the plan on the first day of the plan quarter following completion of the eligibility requirements. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). CONTRIBUTIONS: Participants may make salary deferral contributions at their discretion up to 15% of their annual compensation. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, the Company matches the participants' contributions up to a maximum of 6% of their annual compensation. During 2001, the Company's matching contribution was 50% of employee contributions up to the maximum of 6% of annual compensation. In addition, the Board of Directors can provide for an additional Company contribution on a discretionary basis. In 2001, the Company's discretionary contribution was 0.9% of the Company's annual earnings. To be eligible to receive the discretionary Company contribution, an employee must work 1,000 hours and be employed on the last day of the plan year. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS: Each participant's account is credited with the participant's own contributions, the Company's contributions and plan earnings and losses. Allocations of the Company contributions are based on participant compensation and 401(k) contributions. Earnings and losses are allocated based on account balances. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account. RETIREMENT, DEATH AND DISABILITY: A participant is entitled to 100% of his or her account balance upon retirement, death, or disability. VESTING: Participants are immediately vested in their salary deferral contribution and any earnings or losses thereon. Participants vest in Company contributions and earnings or losses thereon as follows: YEARS OF SERVICE VESTING PERCENTAGE ---------------- ------------------ Less than 1 0% 1 but less than 2 33% 2 but less than 3 66% 3 or more 100% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) 4. THE DELAWARE COUNTY BANK AND TRUST COMPANY EMPLOYEE 401(k) RETIREMENT PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2001 and 2000 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (Continued) Forfeitures of terminated participants' nonvested account balances are used to reduce employer contributions. As of December 31, 2001, there were $9,487 of forfeitures available to reduce future contributions. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS: On termination of service with the Company, a participant will receive a lump-sum amount equal to the value of his or her account. LOAN PROVISIONS: Participants may borrow 50% of their vested account balance up to a maximum of $50,000 minus any loan amounts repaid in the last 12 months. The minimum loan request is $1,000. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF ACCOUNTING: The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION: The Plan's investments are stated at fair value as estimated by the Plan's trustee. If available, quoted market prices are used to value investments. Common stock of DCB Financial Corp. (the "Corporation") is listed on the over-the-counter bulletin board. The value of the Company's common stock is based on the last known transaction prior to the date of each statement of net assets available for benefits. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures, and actual results may differ from these estimates. A significant change may occur in the near term for the estimates of investment valuation. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS: Benefits are recorded when paid. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) 5.
