NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (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 September 30, 1999, 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 the financial statements, and notes thereto, of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 1998, included in its 1998 annual report. Refer to the accounting policies of the Corporation described in the notes to financial statements contained in the Corporation's 1998 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 15 offices in Delaware 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. While the Corporation monitors the revenue streams of its various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Corporate-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Corporation's banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. 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 and 4,180,591 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 and 4,178,200 and 4,203,438 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) 8. 9 DCB FINANCIAL CORP.

At September 30, 1999, 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 September 30, 1999, 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.

Gross gains of $31 and gross losses of $7 were realized on those sales. There were no sales of available-for-sale securities during the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

NOTE 4 - ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES Activity in the allowance for loan and lease losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 is as follows: Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, ------------- ------------- 1999 1998 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- ---- Beginning balance $2,211 $1,916 $1,948 $1,842 Provision for loan losses 400 124 975 349 Charge-offs (206) (184) (622) (446) Recoveries 37 48 141 158 ------ ------ ------ ------ Balance - September 30 $2,442 $1,904 $2,442 $1,904 ====== ====== ====== ====== Impaired loans are not material in any period presented. 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, 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 is not included in the consolidated financial statements. At September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the contract amount of these instruments, which primarily include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, totaled approximately $65,580 and $61,245. Of these commitments, fixed-rate commitments totaled $4,670 and $4,080 at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998. Since many commitments to make loans expire without being used, the amount does not represent future cash commitments. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) 11. 12 DCB FINANCIAL CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Dollars in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 5 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK (CONTINUED) 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12. 13 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 September 30, 1999 compared to December 31, 1998, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the same periods in 1998. This discussion is designed to provide shareholders with a more comprehensive review of the operating results and financial position than could be obtained from the financial statements alone. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes. 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 $435,371 at September 30, 1999 compared to $418,540 at December 31, 1998, an increase of $16,831, or 4.0%. The increase in assets was the result of an increase in cash and cash equivalents and loans offset by a decrease in securities. Cash and cash equivalents increased $13,069, from $15,492 at December 31, 1998 to $28,561 at September 30, 1999. This increase was the result of proceeds from the maturities, calls and principal repayments of securities not being reinvested during the period. Total securities decreased $12,205, or 8.7%, from $140,583 at December 31, 1998 to $128,378 at September 30, 1999. The decrease was the result of the proceeds from maturities, calls and principal repayments not being reinvested. 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13. 14 DCB FINANCIAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Securities classified as available for sale totaled $87,297, or 67.9% of the total securities portfolio, at September 30, 1999. 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 $53,050 at September 30, 1999, 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 $14,403, or 5.6%, from $255,289 at December 31, 1998 to $269,692 at September 30, 1999. The majority of the growth was experienced in commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans, which increased $8,738, or 13.1%, and $6,356 or 15.9%, 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 concentration of lending to any one industry. The growth in commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans was partially offset by a decrease in construction loans, both residential and commercial, of $4,012, or 12.4%. Due to the loan growth combined with a slightly smaller increase in deposits, the gross loan to deposit ratio increased to 70.3% at September 30, 1999 compared to 69.2% at December 31, 1998. Total deposits increased $14,737, or 4.0%, from $368,918 at December 31, 1998 to $383,655 at September 30, 1999. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $1,517, or 2.6%, while interest-bearing deposits increased $13,220, or 4.2%. Interest-bearing demand and money market deposits comprised 59.4% of total interest-bearing deposits at September 30, 1999 compared to 58.1% of total interest-bearing deposits at December 31, 1998 as the Corporation experienced a $12,130, or 6.7%, increase in volume in such accounts. The increase was primarily in the Corporation's "Superior Money Market" deposit accounts that offer a variable interest rate tied to the 3-month Treasury Bill index. The Corporation experienced a slight increase in savings deposits, which increased from 13.1% of total interest-bearing deposits at December 31, 1998 to 13.3% of total interest-bearing deposits at September 30, 1999. Certificates of deposit decreased $1,220, or 1.4%, comprising 27.2% of total interest-bearing deposits at September 30, 1999 compared to 28.8% of total interest-bearing deposits at December 31, 1998. The decrease in certificates of deposit was primarily due to the loss of public funds, which was partially offset by the transfer of "Prime Time" deposit accounts to certificates of deposit. At September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, borrowed funds consisted primarily of a $5,000 FHLB advance and a mortgage-matched advance from the FHLB with a remaining balance of $3,973 at September 30, 1999 and $4,225 at December 31, 1998. Due in November 1999, the $5,000 FHLB advance had an original term of 180 days and carries a fixed interest rate of 5.03% 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 $1,990 at September 30, 1999, and $225 at December 31, 1998. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14. 15 DCB FINANCIAL CORP.

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 was $1,128 or $.27 per share, compared to net income of $1,186 or $.28 per share for the same quarter in 1998. 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 $3,847 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $3,607 for the same period in 1998. The $240 increase in 1999 over 1998 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 rate. 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 continuously 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 $400 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $124 for the same period in 1998. The growth in the provision is reflective of the overall growth in the commercial loan portfolio and an increase in net charge-offs compared to 1998. The allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $2,442, or .91% of total loans and leases, at September 30, 1999 compared to $1,948, or 0.76% of total loans and leases, at December 31, 1998. The allowance was 169% of nonperforming loans which totaled $1,445 at September 30, 1999, compared to 181% of nonperforming loans which totaled $1,078 at December 31, 1998. Management believes increasing the allowance for loan and lease losses is necessary as total loans, particularly commercial, consumer and construction loans, and leases increase. NONINTEREST INCOME AND NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Total noninterest income increased $82, or 7.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. The increase is due to increased fee income from the Corporation's data service center, increased fees collected on deposit accounts and increased trust department income. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15. 16 DCB FINANCIAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total noninterest expense increased $18, or .6% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the same periods in 1998. The increase is primarily the result of increases in salaries and other employee benefits, equipment expense and loan, lease and credit card expense, partially offset by decreases in other operating expenses and stationary and supplies expense. Other changes in noninterest expense are not significant. INCOME TAXES. The volatility of income tax expense is primarily attributable to the change in income before income taxes. The provision for income taxes totaled $536, or an effective tax rate of 32.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $450, or an effective rate of 27.5% for the three months ended September 30, 1998. COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 NET INCOME. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 totaled $3,662, or $.88 per share, compared to net income of $3,477, or $.83 per share, for the same period in 1998. NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income was $11,614 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $10,764 for the same periods in 1998. The $850 increase in 1999 over 1998 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 rate. 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 totaled $975 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $349 for the same period in 1998. The growth in the provision is reflective of the overall growth in the commercial loan portfolio and an increase in net charge-offs compared to 1998. Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $481 compared to net charge-offs of $287 for the same period in 1998. The increase in net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 is primarily due to an increase in net charge-offs of commercial and industrial loans compared to the same period in 1998. NONINTEREST INCOME AND NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Total noninterest income increased $597, or 19.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. The increase is due to increased fee income from the Corporation's data service center, increased fees collected on deposit accounts and increased trust department income. Total noninterest expense increased $553, or 6.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. The increase is primarily the result of increases in salaries and other employee benefits and other operating expenses, where such increases made up $506 of the total increase. Other changes in noninterest expense are not significant. INCOME TAXES. The volatility of income tax expense is primarily attributable to the change in income before income taxes. The provision for income taxes totaled $1,658, or an effective tax rate of 31.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $1,575, or an effective rate of 31.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16. 17 DCB FINANCIAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 $13,069, or 84.4%, to $28,561 at September 30, 1999 compared to $15,492 at December 31, 1998. Cash and equivalents represented 6.6% of total assets at September 30, 1999 and 3.7% of total assets at December 31, 1998. 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 level of cash, cash equivalents, core deposits, the stability of its other funding sources and the support provided by its capital base. As summarized in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the most significant transactions which affected the Corporation's level of cash and cash equivalents, cash flows and liquidity during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were the receipt of proceeds from maturities and repayments of securities of $47,148, securities purchases of $47,304; the net increase in loans of $18,570; the net increase in deposits of $14,737; and proceeds from sales of securities of $9,985. CAPITAL RESOURCES Total shareholders' equity increased $1,359 between December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999, primarily due to earnings retained. No shares of treasury stock were purchased by the Corporation during the nine months ended September 30, 1999; 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. Tier 2 capital, or 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 prescribed by regulation based on their inherent risk. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17. 18 DCB FINANCIAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Corporation and its subsidiaries meet all regulatory capital requirements. The ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets was 14.3% at September 30, 1999, while the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.5%. 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 9.7% at September 30, 1999 exceeded the regulatory minimum for capital adequacy purposes of 4.0%. Accumulated other comprehensive income decreased from $225 at December 31, 1998 to $(1,326) at September 30, 1999. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income was attributable to increases in interest rates during the nine months ended September 30, 1999. YEAR 2000 ISSUE The Corporation operates an in-house data processing center that also provides data processing services to other financial institutions. The Corporation's lending and deposit activities are almost entirely dependent upon computer systems which process and record transactions, although the Corporation can effectively operate with manual systems for brief periods when its electronic systems malfunction or cannot be accessed. In addition to its basic operating activities, the Corporation's facilities and infrastructure, such as security systems and communications equipment, are dependent, to varying degrees, upon computer systems. The Corporation is aware of the potential Year 2000 related problems that may affect the computers that control or operate Corporation's operating systems, facilities and infrastructure. In 1997, the Corporation began a process of identifying any Year 2000 related problems that may be experienced by its computer-operated or computer-dependent systems. Each application has been identified as "Mission Critical" or "Non-Mission Critical." The Corporation has contacted the companies that supply or service the Corporation's computer-operated or computer-dependent systems to obtain confirmation that each system that is material to the operations of the Corporation is either currently Year 2000 compliant or is expected to be Year 2000 compliant. All of the identified mission critical computer systems affected by the Year 2000 issue have completed the renovation, validation and implementation phase of the process of becoming Year 2000 compliant. The Corporation has examined its computer hardware and software and estimated it would cost approximately $160 to make such systems Year 2000 compliant. Of that amount, the Corporation has already spent $31. At this time, however, any additional expense that may be incurred by the Corporation in connection with Year 2000 issues cannot be determined. As a contingency plan, however, the Corporation has determined that if the Corporation's systems fail the Corporation would implement manual systems until such systems could be re-established. The Corporation does not anticipate that such short-term manual systems would have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's operations. At this time, however, the expense that may be incurred by the Corporation in connection with system failure related to the Year 2000 issue cannot be determined. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18. 19 DCB FINANCIAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition to the possible expense related to its own systems, the Corporation could incur losses if loan payments are delayed due to Year 2000 problems affecting any of the Corporation's significant borrowers or impairing the payroll systems of large employers in the Corporation's primary market area. Because the Corporation's loan portfolio is highly diversified with regard to individual borrowers and types of businesses and the Corporation's primary market area is not significantly dependent on one employer or industry, the Corporation does not expect any significant or prolonged Year 2000 related difficulties will affect net earnings or cash flow. IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Beginning January 1, 2001, a new accounting standard will require 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. The new standard does not allow hedging of a security which is classified as held to maturity. Upon adoption of this standard, companies will be allowed to transfer securities from held to maturity to available for sale if they wish to be able to hedge the securities in the future. This standard is not expected to have a material effect but the effect will depend on derivative holdings when this standard applies. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19. 20 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 September 30, 1999, $111,235, or 41.2%, of the Corporation's loan portfolio reprices on a 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 1998 annual report details a table that provides information about the Company's financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 1998. The table is based on information and assumptions set forth in the notes. The Corporation believes the assumptions utilized are reasonable. 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, 1998 which would significantly change the ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities for the given time horizons. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20. 21 DCB FINANCIAL CORP.
