As permitted by 29 CFR 2520.103-8 of the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the plan administrator instructed us not to perform, and we did not perform, any auditing procedures with respect to the information summarized in Note 6, which was certified by The Delaware County Bank and Trust's Trust Department, the Trustee of the Plan, except for comparing such information with the related information included in the financial statements and supplemental schedule. We have been informed by the plan administrator that the Trust Department holds the Plan's investment assets and executes investment transactions. The plan administrator has obtained a certification from the Trustee as of December 31, 2002, that the information provided to the plan administrator by the Trustee is complete and accurate. Because of the significance of the information that we did not audit, we are unable to, and do not, express an opinion on the accompanying financial statements and schedule taken as a whole. The form and content of the information included in the financial statements and schedule, other than that derived from the information certified by the Trustee, have been audited by us in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and, in our opinion, are presented in compliance with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

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 2002, 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 2002 there was no additional discretionary contribution, while 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.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF ACCOUNTING: The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting.

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) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 12 DCB FINANCIAL CORP - 11-K Filing Date: 06/27/03 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE DELAWARE COUNTY BANK AND TRUST COMPANY EMPLOYEE 401(k) RETIREMENT PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2002 and 2001 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 3 - PLAN TERMINATION Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the provisions of the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.
