               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


The Delaware County Bank and Trust Company
Employee 401(k) Retirement Plan
Lewis Center, Ohio


We were engaged to audit the financial statements and supplemental schedule of
The Delaware County Bank and Trust Employee 401(k) Retirement Plan (the "Plan")
as of December 31, 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2002, as listed in
the accompanying index. These financial statements and schedule are the
responsibility of the Plan's management.

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.

Other auditors audited the statement of net assets available for benefits of The
Delaware County Bank and Trust Employee 401(k) Retirement Plan as of December
31, 2001, and issued their report dated April 16, 2002, which expressed their
opinion that such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial status of The Delaware County Bank and Trust Employee 401(k)
Retirement Plan as of December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 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. 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%

Forfeitures of terminated participants' nonvested account balances are used to
reduce employer contributions. As of December 31, 2002, there were $11,593 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 and interest is payable at the than prevailing
interest prime interest rate.


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. Stock price
reflects inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commissions;
and may not represent actual transactions.

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.
