DNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of DNB Financial Corporation (referred to herein as the "Corporation" or "DNB") and its subsidiary, DNB First, National Association (the "Bank") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore do not include certain information or footnotes necessary for the presentation of financial condition, statement of operations and statement of cash flows required by generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which consist of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the unaudited periods. Prior amounts not affecting net income are reclassified when necessary to conform to current period classifications. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results, which may be expected for the entire year.  The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report and report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Allowance for Credit Losses

 The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of the credit loss risk in our loan and lease portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (1) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies,” which requires that losses be accrued when it is probable that a loss has occurred at the balance sheet date and such loss can be reasonably estimated; and (2) SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” which requires that losses be accrued on impaired loans based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance. DNB’s credit loss allowance policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management which may have a material impact on the carrying value of net loans and, potentially, on the net income recognized by DNB from period to period. The allowance for credit losses is based on management’s ongoing evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio and reflects an amount considered by management to be its best estimate of the amount necessary to absorb known and inherent losses in the portfolio. Management considers a variety of factors when establishing the allowance, such as the impact of current economic conditions, diversification of the portfolios, delinquency statistics, results of loan review and related classifications, and historic loss rates. In addition, certain individual loans which management has identified as problematic are specifically provided for, based upon an evaluation of the borrower’s perceived ability to pay, the estimated adequacy of the underlying collateral and other relevant factors. In addition, regulatory authorities, as an integral part of their examinations, periodically review the allowance for credit losses. They may require additions to the allowance based upon their judgments about information available to them at the time of examination. Although provisions are established and segmented by type of loan, based upon management’s assessment of their differing inherent loss characteristics, the entire allowance for credit losses is available to absorb losses in any category.
 
Management uses significant estimates to determine the allowance for credit losses. Because the allowance for credit losses is dependent, to a great extent, on conditions that may be beyond DNB’s control, management’s estimate of the amount necessary to absorb credit losses and actual credit losses could differ. DNB’s current judgment is that the valuation of the allowance for credit losses is appropriate at March 31, 2008.
 
The allowance for credit losses in the first quarter of 2008 was affected by continued changes to the mix of assets and changes to estimates of loss in certain asset classes. Specifically, changes in loss estimates for commercial and industrial loans and commercial mortgages, resulted in a lower provision for loan and lease losses in the first quarter of 2008 than would have resulted under the previous loss estimates of approximately $150,000. Correspondingly, the allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2008 is approximately $150,000 lower than it would have been under the previous loss estimates. The Corporation believes that its revised estimates better reflect the loss inherent in the loan and lease portfolio.
 

Stock-based compensation

Prior to January 1, 2006, SFAS Statement No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, permitted entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period, the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant.  Alternatively, SFAS 123 also allowed entities to continue to apply the provisions of the Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB Opinion No. 25”), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations and provide pro-forma net income and pro-forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants made in 1995 and subsequent years as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS 123 had been applied.  DNB elected to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro-forma disclosure provisions of SFAS 123.  As such, there was no compensation expense recorded prior to 2007.  Additionally, all options were granted at the then current market price.

6

Effective January 1, 2006, DNB adopted SFAS 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”), which requires DNB to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for all equity awards granted including stock options based on the fair market value of the award as of the grant date.  SFAS 123R supersedes SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation (SFAS 123”) and APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.  SFAS 123R requires DNB to record compensation expense related to unvested stock awards as of January 1, 2006 by recognizing the unamortized grant date fair value of these awards over the remaining service periods of those awards.  DNB had no unamortized stock option awards at January 1, 2006 as all stock options issued prior to January 1, 2006 were fully vested. Additionally, DNB did not issue any stock awards during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.  As a result, there was no compensation expense related to stock options recorded during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.


NOTE 2: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is computed using the treasury stock method and reflects the potential dilution that could occur from the exercise of stock options and unvested stock awards.   Stock options and unvested stock awards for which the exercise or the grant price exceeds the average market price over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on EPS and, accordingly, are excluded from the calculation.  At March 31, 2008, there were 224,487 anti-dilutive stock options outstanding as well as 30,024 anti-dilutive stock awards.  EPS, dividends per share, and weighted average shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the 5% stock dividend paid in December 2007.  The dilutive effect of stock options and unvested shares on basic earnings per share is presented below.

NOTE 5: JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

DNB has two issuances of junior subordinated debentures (the "debentures") as follows:

DNB Capital Trust I

DNB’s first issuance of junior subordinated debentures was on July 20, 2001. This issuance of debentures are floating rate and were issued to DNB Capital Trust I, a Delaware business trust in which DNB owns all of the common equity. DNB Capital Trust I issued $5 million of floating rate (6 month Libor plus 3.75%, with a cap of 12%) capital preferred securities to a qualified institutional buyer. The proceeds of these securities were used by the Trust, along with DNB's capital contribution, to purchase $5.2 million principal amount of DNB's floating rate junior subordinated debentures.  The preferred securities have been redeemable since July 25, 2006 and must be redeemed upon maturity of the debentures on July 25, 2031.

DNB Capital Trust II

DNB’s second issuance of junior subordinated debentures was on March 30, 2005. This issuance of debentures are floating rate and were issued to DNB Capital Trust II, a Delaware business trust in which DNB owns all of the common equity. DNB Capital Trust II issued $4.0 million of floating rate (the rate is fixed at 6.56% for the first 5 years and will adjust at a rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 1.77% thereafter) capital preferred securities. The proceeds of these securities were used by the Trust, along with DNB's capital contribution, to purchase $4.1 million principal amount of DNB's floating rate junior subordinated debentures. The preferred securities are redeemable by DNB on or after May 23, 2010, or earlier in the event of certain adverse tax or bank regulatory developments. The preferred securities must be redeemed upon maturity of the debentures on May 23, 2035.

The majority of the proceeds of each issuance were invested in DNB’s subsidiary, DNB First, National Association, to increase the Bank's capital levels. The junior subordinated debentures issued in each case qualify as a component of capital for regulatory purposes.


NOTE 6: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

FASB Statement No. 155  In February 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” (“Statement 155”). Among other things, this Statement permits fair value re-measurement for certain hybrid financial instruments and requires that entities evaluate whether beneficial interests contain embedded derivatives or are derivatives in their entirety. This Statement became effective January 1, 2007 and did not have a material impact on DNB’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB Statement No. 156  In March 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets” (“Statement 156”). Statement 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset. Statement 156 also requires fair value measurement of a servicing asset or liability upon initial recognition and permits different methods to subsequently measure each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement additionally permits under certain circumstances a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under FASB Statement No. 115. This Statement became effective January 1, 2007 and did not have a material impact on DNB’s consolidated financial statements.
 
FASB Statement No. 159 In February 2007 the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159 — “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“Statement 159”). Statement 159 permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Statement 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. DNB did not early adopt FASB Statement No. 159, and has determined this Statement did not have a material impact on DNB’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
 
FASB Statement No. 160  In December 2007 the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160 — “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements — Including an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“Statement 160”). Statement 160 improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the de-consolidation of a subsidiary. Statement 160 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. DNB has not yet determined whether this statement will have a material impact on DNB’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
 
FASB Statement No. 161 In March 2008 the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161 — “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“Statement 161”).  Statement 161 amends Statement No. 133 and its related guidance by requiring expanded disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities.  This Statement will require DNB to provide additional disclosure about a) how and why we use derivative instruments; b) how we account for derivative instruments and related hedged items under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items effect our financial condition, financial performance, and cash flows.  Statement 161 does not change the accounting for derivatives under SFAS No. 133. DNB does not currently engage in derivative instruments and hedging activities.
 
FASB Statement No. 141 (revised) In December 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“Statement 141R). Statement 141R retains the fundamental requirement of FASB Statement No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations. However, Statement 141R does make significant changes to the accounting for a business combination achieved in stages, the treatment of contingent consideration, transaction and restructuring costs, and other aspects of business combination accounting. Statement 141R will be effective with the fiscal year that begins on January 1, 2009, and will change DNB’s accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis.
 
EITF 06-4  In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements”. EITF 06-4 concludes that for a split-dollar life insurance arrangement within the scope of this Issue, an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with SFAS 106 (if, in substance, a postretirement benefit plan exits) or APB Opinion No. 12 (if the arrangement is, in substance, an individual deferred compensation contract) based on the substantive agreement with the employee. The consensus is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. This EITF is applicable to the Replacement Plan referenced in Note 14. The early adoption of EITF 06-4 resulted in a $583,000 net-of-tax charge to stockholders’ equity on January 1, 2007.

EITF 06-5  In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance-Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4”. This consensus concludes that a policyholder should consider any additional amounts included in the contractual terms of the insurance policy other than the cash surrender value in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. A consensus also was reached that a policyholder should determine the amount that could be realized under the life insurance contract assuming the surrender of an individual-life (or certificate by certificate in a group policy). The consensuses are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. This EITF is applicable to the BOLI already recognized in DNB’s statement of condition. The Company adopted EITF 06-5 on January 1, 2007 and there was no material impact on DNB’s financial position or results of operations.
 
FIN 48  In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). This interpretation of FASB Statement 109 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The interpretation was effective on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a significant impact on DNB’s consolidated financial statements.
 
SAB No. 109 In November 2007, the SEC issued SAB No. 109, “Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings” (“SAB 109”). SAB 109 supersedes SAB No. 105, “Loan Commitments Accounted for as Derivative Instruments,” and expresses the view that expected net future cash flows related to the servicing of loans should be included in the fair value measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. SAB 109 retains the views in SAB No. 105 that internally developed intangible assets (such as client relationship intangible assets) should not be included in the fair value measurement of derivative loan commitments. SAB 109 is effective on January 1, 2008. DNB concluded that SAB 109 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
 
SAB No. 110  In December 2007, the SEC issued SAB No. 110, and extended, under certain circumstances, the availability of a “simplified” method for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with FASB Statement No. 123 (revised). DNB determined SAB 110 did not affect DNB’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Restricted Stock Awards

DNB maintains an Incentive Equity and Deferred Compensation Plan.  The plan provides that up to 243,101 (as adjusted for subsequent stock dividends) shares of common stock may be granted, at the discretion of the Board, to individuals of the Company.  DNB did not grant any shares of restricted stock during the three-month period ended March 31, 2008.  Shares already granted are issuable on the earlier of three years after the date of the grant or a change in control of DNB if the recipients are then employed by DNB (“Vest Date”).  Upon issuance of the shares, resale of the shares is restricted for an additional period of time, during which the shares may not be sold, pledged or otherwise disposed of.  The 2005 grant is restricted for 2 years and the 2007 grant is restricted for 1 year. Prior to the Vest Date and in the event the recipient terminates association with DNB for reasons other than death, disability or change in control, the recipient forfeits all rights to the shares that would otherwise be issued under the grant.

Share awards granted by the plan were recorded at the date of award based on the market value of shares.  Awards are being amortized to expense over the three-year cliff-vesting period. DNB records compensation expense equal to the value of the shares being amortized.  For the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, $49,000 was amortized to expense compared to $28,000 during the same period in 2007.  At March 31, 2008, 213,077 shares were reserved for future grants under the plan.

Stock grant activity is indicated below. The shares have been adjusted for the 5% stock dividend in December 2007.

NOTE  8:  INCOME TAXES

As of March 31, 2008, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties. It is the Company’s policy to account for interest and penalties accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.  Federal and state tax years 2004 through 2007 were open for examination as of March 31, 2008. Income tax expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 was $100,000 compared to $74,000 for the same period in 2007. The effective tax rate for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 was 19.6%, compared to 12.2% for the same period in 2007. Although 2008 pre-tax income was $100,000 lower during the first quarter of 2008, income tax expense and the effective tax rate for the current period were higher than the same period in 2007.  This was caused by DNB reducing its investments in tax-exempt loans and tax-exempt securities and investing the proceeds in taxable securities.

NOTE 9:  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The following disclosures are made in conjunction with the initial application of the statement of FASB Statement No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurement, effective January 1, 2008.

FAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the nature of data inputs for fair value determinations, under which DNB is required to value each asset using assumptions that market participations would utilize to value that asset.  When DNB uses its own assumptions it is required to disclose additional information about the assumptions used and the effect of the measurement on earnings or the net change in assets for the period.

DNB’s investment securities, which generally include state and municipal securities, U.S. government agencies and mortgage backed securities, are reported at fair value.  These securities are valued by an independent third party (“preparer”).  The preparer’s evaluations are based on market data.  They utilize evaluated pricing models that vary by asset and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information.  For securities that do not trade on a daily basis their evaluated pricing applications apply available information such as benchmarking and matrix pricing.  The market inputs normally sought in the evaluation of securities include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes (only obtained from market makers or broker/dealers recognized as market participants), issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bid, offers and reference data.  For certain securities additional inputs may be used or some market inputs may not be applicable.  Inputs are prioritized differently on any given day based on market conditions.

U.S. Government agencies are evaluated and priced using multi-dimensional relational models and option adjusted spreads.  State and municipal securities are evaluated on a series of matrices including reported trades and material event notices.  Mortgage backed securities are evaluated using matrix correlation to treasury or floating index benchmarks, prepayment speeds, monthly payment information and other benchmarks.  Other investments are evaluated using a broker-quote based application, including quotes from issuers.

These investment securities are classified as available for sale.

The value of the investment portfolio is determined using three broad levels of input:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drives are observable.

Level 3 – Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

These levels are not necessarily an indication of the risks or liquidity associated with these investments.  The following table summaries the assets at March 31, 2008 that are recognized on DNB’s balance sheet using fair value measurement determined based on the differing levels of input.

NOTE 10:  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stockholders' equity was $33.8 million at March 31, 2008 compared to $32.6 million at December 31, 2007.  The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily a result of year-to-date earnings, coupled with a $1.2 million, net-of-tax SFAS 115 adjustment on the securities portfolio. These additions to stockholders equity were partially offset by $338,000 of dividends paid on DNB’s common stock.
 

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

DESCRIPTION OF DNB'S BUSINESS AND BUSINESS STRATEGY

DNB Financial Corporation is a bank holding company whose bank subsidiary, DNB First, National Association (the “Bank”) is a nationally chartered commercial bank with trust powers, and a member of the Federal Reserve System. The FDIC insures DNB’s deposits. DNB provides a broad range of banking services to individual and corporate customers through its thirteen community offices located throughout Chester and Delaware Counties, Pennsylvania. DNB is a community banking organization that focuses its lending and other services on businesses and consumers in the local market area. DNB funds all these activities with retail and business deposits and borrowings.  Through its DNB Advisors division, the Bank provides wealth management and trust services to individuals and businesses.  The Bank and its subsidiary, DNB Financial Services, Inc., make available certain non-depository products and services, such as securities brokerage, mutual funds, life insurance and annuities.

DNB earns revenues and generates cash flows by lending funds to commercial and consumer customers in its marketplace. DNB generates its largest source of interest income through its lending function.  Another source of interest income is derived from DNB’s investment portfolio, which provides liquidity and cash flows for future lending needs.

In addition to interest earned on loans and investments, DNB earns revenues from fees it charges customers for non-lending services. These services include wealth management and trust services; brokerage and investment services; cash management services; banking and ATM services; as well as safekeeping and other depository services.

To implement the culture changes necessary at DNB First to become an innovative community bank capable of meeting challenges of the 21st century, we embarked on a strategy called "Loyalty, Bank On It."  In recognizing the importance of loyalty in our everyday lives, we have embraced this concept as the cornerstone of DNB First's new culture.  To that end, DNB continues to make appropriate investments in all areas of our business, including people, technology, facilities and marketing.

Comprehensive 5-Year Plan. During the third quarter of 2007, management updated the 5-year strategic plan that was designed to reposition its balance sheet and improve core earnings. Through the Plan, which covers years 2008 through 2012, management will continue to expand its loan portfolio through new originations, increased loan participations, as well as strategic loan and lease receivable purchases.  Management also plans to reduce the absolute level of borrowings with cash flows from existing loans and investments as well as from new deposit growth.  DNB’s Key Strategies include:

·  
Focus on penetrating markets and allowing existing locations to maximize profitability

·  
Improve earnings by allowing revenues to catch up to the investments made over the past five years in people, infrastructure and branch expansion

·  
Emphasize Private Banking, with the objective of promoting loan growth and fee based income by providing high net worth individuals with banking and wealth management services

·  
Implement a formal training program that will emphasize product knowledge, sales skills, people skills and technical knowledge to promote customer satisfaction

·  
Maintain sound asset quality by continuing to apply prudent underwriting standards

·  
Grow loans and diversify the mix

13

·  
Reduce long-term borrowings

·  
Focus on profitable customer segments

·  
Grow and diversify non-interest income

 
Strategic Plan Update. During 2007, DNB focused on expense control and initiated a formal training program emphasizing product knowledge and skills necessary to improve customer satisfaction. In conjunction with its desire to penetrate new markets and maximize existing locations, management opened its new Chadds Ford office and renovated its West Goshen and Little Washington offices during 2007. Despite these increases to occupancy costs, management was able to limit the year over year increase in total non-interest expenses to only 1.52%, Both offices have been successful at attracting new customers and increasing relationships with existing customers. As a result of these and other efforts during 2007, DNB increased deposits by $31.9 million or 8.4% and was able to reduce FHLB Advances by $5.5 million. During the first quarter of 2008, DNB’s total deposits declined $16.5 million, primarily due the maturity of time deposits greater than $100,000. The maturity of these higher costing deposits has contributed to a decline in our composite cost of funds from 3.17% during the first quarter of 2007 to 3.07% during the first quarter of 2008
 
        Management's strategies are designed to direct DNB's tactical investment decisions and support financial objectives. DNB's most significant revenue source continues to be net interest income, defined as total interest income less interest expense, which in 2007 accounted for approximately 78.7% of total revenue. To produce net interest income and consistent earnings growth over the long-term, DNB must generate loan and deposit growth at acceptable economic spreads within its market area. To generate and grow loans and deposits, DNB must focus on a number of areas including, but not limited to, the economy, branch expansion, sales practices, customer satisfaction and retention, competition, customer behavior, technology, product innovation and credit performance of its customers.
 
        Management has made a concerted effort to improve the measurement and tracking of business lines and overall corporate performance levels. Improved information systems have increased DNB's ability to track key indicators and enhance corporate performance levels. Better measurement against goals and objectives and increased accountability will be integral in attaining desired loan, deposit and fee income production.
 
 
MATERIAL CHALLENGES, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

The following is a summary of changes to material challenges, risks and opportunities DNB has faced during the three-month period ended March 31, 2008.

Interest Rate Risk Management. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates. DNB considers interest rate risk the predominant risk in terms of its potential impact on earnings.  Interest rate risk can occur for any one or more of the following reasons: (a) assets and liabilities may mature or re-price at different times; (b) short-term or long-term market rates may change by different amounts; or (c) the remaining maturity of various assets or liabilities may shorten or lengthen as interest rates change. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, short term rates declined as the Federal Reserve reduced the Fed Funds rate by 200 basis points, while the rate on the 10 year treasury declined to 3.45%. Due to the shape of the yield curve and intense competition for loans and deposits, DNB’s net interest margin continued to experience pressure.

The principal objective of the Bank’s interest rate risk management is to evaluate the interest rate risk included in certain on and off-balance sheet accounts, determine the level of risk appropriate given the Bank’s business strategy, operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance objectives, and manage the risk consistent with approved guidelines. Through such management, DNB seeks to reduce the vulnerability of its operations to changes in interest rates. The Bank’s Asset Liability Committee (the “ALCO”) is responsible for reviewing the Bank’s asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position and making decisions involving asset liability considerations. The ALCO meets on a monthly basis and reports trends and the Bank’s interest rate risk position to the Board of Directors.  The extent of the movement of interest rates is an uncertainty that could have a negative impact on the earnings of the Bank.

The largest component of DNB’s total income is net interest income, and the majority of DNB’s financial instruments are comprised of interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities with various terms and maturities.  The primary objective of management is to maximize net interest income while minimizing interest rate risk.  Interest rate risk is derived from timing differences in the re-pricing of assets and liabilities, loan prepayments, deposit withdrawals, and differences in lending and funding rates. The ALCO actively seeks to monitor and control the mix of in­terest rate-sensitive assets and interest rate-sensitive ­liabilities. One measure of interest rate risk is
 
14

net interest income simulation analysis.  The ALCO utilizes simulation analysis, whereby the model estimates the variance in net interest income with a change in interest rates of plus or minus 200 basis points in addition to four yield curve twists over a twelve-month period.

Liquidity and Market Risk Management. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations. The Bank further defines liquidity as the ability to respond to deposit outflows as well as maintain flexibility to take advantage of lending and investment opportunities.  The Bank’s primary sources of funds are operating earnings, deposits, repurchase agreements, principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from loan sales, sales and maturities of mortgage-backed and investment securities, and FHLB advances. The Bank uses the funds generated to support its lending and investment activities as well as any other demands for liquidity such as deposit outflows.  While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, mortgage prepayments, loan and security sales and the exercise of call features are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

The objective of DNB’s asset/liability management function is to maintain consistent growth in net interest income within DNB’s policy limits. This objective is accomplished through the management of liquidity and interest rate risk, as well as customer offerings of various loan and deposit products. DNB maintains adequate liquidity to meet daily funding requirements, anticipated deposit withdrawals, or asset opportunities in a timely manner.  Liquidity is also necessary to meet obligations during unusual, extraordinary or adverse operating circumstances, while avoiding a significant loss or cost.  DNB’s foundation for liquidity is its deposit base as well as a marketable investment portfolio that provides cash flow through regular maturities or that can be used for collateral to secure funding in an emergency. As of March 31, 2008, DNB had $32.9 million in cash and cash equivalents to meet its funding requirements.  This has decreased from $45.3 million at December 31, 2007, primarily due to a $16.5 million decline in total deposits. The decline was primarily due to a $10.2 million decline in time deposits over $100,000, which DNB anticipated would be leaving due to specific customers funding requirements.

Credit Risk Management. DNB defines credit risk as the risk of default by a customer or counter-party.  The objective of DNB’s credit risk management strategy is to quantify and manage credit risk on an aggregate portfolio basis as well as to limit the risk of loss resulting from an individual customer default.  Credit risk is managed through a combination of underwriting, documentation and collection standards.  DNB’s credit risk management strategy calls for regular credit examinations and quarterly management reviews of large credit exposures and credits that are experiencing credit quality deterioration.  DNB’s loan review procedures provide assessments of the quality of underwriting, documentation, risk grading and charge-off procedures, as well as an assessment of the allowance for credit loss reserve analysis process.

Competition. In addition to the challenges related to the interest rate environment, community banks in Chester and Delaware Counties have been experiencing increased competition from large regional and international banks entering DNB’s marketplace through mergers and acquisitions.  Competition for loans and deposits has negatively affected DNB’s net interest margin.  To compensate for the increased competition, DNB, along with other area community banks, has aggressively sought and marketed customers who have been disenfranchised by these mergers.  To attract these customers, DNB has introduced new deposit products and services, such as Rewards Checking and Executive and employee packages. In addition, DNB has introduced Remote Capture to our commercial customers to expedite their collection of funds.

 Bank Secrecy Act/OFAC/Patriot Act Implementation. Management of the Bank had previously determined that its BSA compliance program needed to be improved to a level commensurate with BSA, OFAC and Patriot Act related risks to which the Bank is exposed.  An action plan was developed and implemented to strengthen the Bank’s compliance.  It is management’s goal that these improvements to the BSA compliance program will address the Bank’s BSA compliance needs in order to establish the Bank as an institution that will not pose a target to those who would use the U.S. financial system to further criminal or terrorist ends.  However, there is no assurance that the Bank’s improved compliance plan will eliminate all risks related to BSA, OFAC and Patriot Act because those regulatory requirements are dynamic and complex and must be continually reassessed in light of the changing environment in which they operate. During the first three months of 2008, DNB continued its efforts to strengthen its BSA policies, procedures and systems to ensure compliance with OFAC regulations.

Deposit Insurance Assessments; FICO Assessments. All Federally insured depository institutions are liable to pay periodic premiums, or assessments, to a deposit insurance fund organized by the Federal government to insure bank and savings association deposits, generally up to $100,000 per customer.  We are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) administered by the FDIC, and hence are subject to periodic assessments by the FDIC to maintain the reserve level of that fund.  The FDIC assesses higher rates on those institutions that pose greater risks to the insurance fund. Banks are divided into four risk categories and are subject to deposit insurance assessments according to the risk category into which they fall, as set forth in the following table:

15

 
Capital Category
Supervisory Group
A
B
C
 
Well Capitalized
I
5-7 bps
II
10 bps
III
28 bps
 
 
Adequately Capitalized
     
Undercapitalized
III
28 bps
IV
43 bps
 
Note: Rates for institutions that do not pay the minimum or maximum rate will vary between these rates.  Basis points are cents per $100 of assessable deposits (annual rate).

In the above table, Supervisory Group “A” generally includes institutions with CAMELS composite ratings of 1 or 2; Supervisory Group “B” generally includes institutions with a CAMELS composite rating of 3; and Supervisory Group “C” generally includes institutions with CAMELS composite ratings of 4 or 5.

For example, a bank with the highest composite CAMELS rating that is also well capitalized will be in Risk Category I and will pay an assessment rate of 5 to 7 basis points, depending upon a calculation involving certain financial ratios and CAMELS ratings for the bank.  On the other hand, a bank that has the lowest composite CAMELS ratings and is undercapitalized will pay an assessment rate of 43 basis points. DNB is well capitalized and has been assessed an annual rate of 5.87 bps.
 
These initial assessment rates became effective on January 1, 2007 and are 3 basis points above the base rate schedule adopted in the final rule. The FDIC may adjust rates up or down by 3 basis points from the base rate schedule without further notice-and-comment rulemaking, provided that any single adjustment from one quarter to the next cannot change rates more than 3 basis points.

The law provides assessment credits to certain institutions that paid high premiums in the past.  DNB used $170,000 of its $245,000 assessment credit in 2007.  Of the remaining $75,000, $61,000 was used in the first quarter of 2008 with the remaining $14,000 to be used in the second quarter. If DNB had not benefited from the assessment credit, management estimates that its deposit insurance assessment for the 3 months ended March 31, 2008 would have been $61,000.
 
For institutions in Risk Category I (generally, those institutions with less than $10 billion in assets that are well capitalized and receive one of the two best composite ratings under the CAMELS regulatory examination rating system), the base assessment rate will range from 5 basis points to 7 basis points.  The actual base assessment rate will be based on a formula that combines the institution’s financial ratios and CAMELS component ratings.  This is called the “financial ratio method.”  Under the financial ratio method, each of several financial ratios and a weighted average of CAMELS component ratings are multiplied by a pricing multiplier. The financial ratios include the institution’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio, its Loans Past Due 30-89 Days as a percent of Gross Assets, its Nonperforming Assets as a percent of Gross Assets, its Net-Loan Charge-Offs as a percent of Gross Assets, its Net Income Before Taxes as a percent of its Risk-Weighted Assets.
 
In addition to paying basic deposit insurance assessments, depository institutions must also pay FICO assessments.  The Financing Corporation (FICO), established by the Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987, is a mixed-ownership government corporation whose sole purpose was to function as a financing vehicle for the Federal Savings & Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC). Effective December 12, 1991, as provided by the Resolution Trust Corporation Refinancing, Restructuring and Improvement Act of 1991, the FICO's ability to issue new debt was terminated. Outstanding FICO bonds, which are 30-year non-callable bonds with a principal amount of approximately $8.1 billion, mature in 2017 through 2019.
 
The FICO has assessment authority, separate from the FDIC's authority to assess risk-based premiums for deposit insurance, to collect funds from FDIC-insured institutions sufficient to pay interest on FICO bonds. The FDIC acts as collection agent for the FICO. The Deposit Insurance Funds Act 1996 (DIFA) authorized the FICO to assess both BIF- and SAIF-insured deposits, and require the BIF rate to equal one-fifth the SAIF rate through year-end 1999, or until the insurance funds are merged, whichever occurs first. Since the first quarter of 2000, all FDIC-insured deposits have been assessed at the same rate by FICO. Effective March 31, 2006, the BIF and SAIF were merged into the newly created Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF).
 
The FICO assessment rate is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the assessment bases of the fund based on quarterly Call Report and Thrift Financial Report submissions. The FICO rate for the first quarter of 2008 is an annual rate of 1.12 basis points (1.12 cents per $100 of assessable deposits).

Material Trends and Uncertainties. The industry has been affected by the fall out of the sub-prime housing market. Although DNB does not participate in the sub-prime lending market, a number of large providers who were involved in this type of lending were cut off or curtailed from drawing on credit lines at large regional or money-center banks.  In addition, a number of large brokers and banks that held such paper in their funds or portfolios experienced capital and or cash flow issues.   These events prompted the Federal Reserve to lower the borrowing rate at the Discount Window which increased market stability and liquidity. Also, larger institutions have been acquiring smaller regional and community banks and thrifts in an effort to broaden market share by capitalizing on operational efficiencies.  Chester County has witnessed such mergers due to attractive demographics, commercial expansion and other growth indicators.  As a result of these factors, the operating environment is very competitive as DNB's market hosts over 70 banks, thrifts and credit unions. In addition, brokerage firms, mutual fund companies and boutique investment firms are prevalent, given the attractive demographics. This intense competition continually puts pressures on DNB's margins and operating results as competitors offer a full range of loan, deposit and investment products and services. In addition, many of these competitors are much larger than DNB and consistently outspend the Bank in marketing to attract new customers and buy market share. DNB anticipates these pressures will continue to adversely affect operating results.

Other Material Challenges, Risks and Opportunities. As a financial institution, DNB's earnings are significantly affected by general business and economic conditions.  These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, monetary supply, fluctuations in both debt and equity capital markets, and the strength of the United States economy and local economics in which we operate.  For example, an economic downturn, increase in unemployment, or other events that negatively impact household and/or corporate incomes could decrease the demand for DNB's loan and non-loan products and services and increase the number of customers who fail to pay interest or principal on their loans.  Geopolitical conditions can also affect DNB's earnings.  Acts or threats of terrorism, actions taken by the United States or other governments in response to acts or threats of terrorism and our military conflicts including the aftermath of the war with Iraq, could impact business conditions in the United States.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principals. Generally accepted accounting principles are complex and require management to apply significant judgment to various accounting, reporting and disclosure matters. Management must use assumptions and estimates to apply these principles where actual measurement is not possible or practical. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

In management's opinion, the most critical accounting policies and estimates impacting DNB's consolidated financial statements are listed below.  These policies are critical because they are highly dependent upon subjective or complex judgments, assumptions and estimates.  Changes in such estimates may have a significant impact on the financial statements.  For a complete discussion of DNB's significant accounting policies, see the footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in DNB's 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Determination of the allowance for credit losses. Credit loss allowance policies involve significant judgments, estimates and assumptions by management which may have a material impact on the carrying value of net loans and leases and, potentially, on the net income recognized by DNB from period to period.  The allowance for credit losses is based on management’s ongoing evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio and reflects an amount considered by management to be its best estimate of the amount necessary to absorb known and inherent losses in the portfolio.  Management considers a variety of factors when establishing the allowance, such as the impact of current economic conditions, diversification of the portfolios, delinquency statistics, results of loan review and related classifications, and historic loss rates.  In addition, certain individual loans which management has identified as problematic are specifically provided for, based upon an evaluation of the borrower’s perceived ability to pay, the estimated adequacy of the underlying collateral and other relevant factors.  In addition, regulatory authorities, as an integral part of their examinations, periodically review the allowance for credit losses.  They may require additions to the allowance based upon their judgments about information available to them at the time of examination.  Although provisions have been established and segmented by type of loan, based upon management’s assessment of their differing inherent loss characteristics, the entire allowance for credit losses is available to absorb further losses in any category.

Management uses significant estimates to determine the allowance for credit losses.  Because the allowance for credit losses is dependent, to a great extent, on conditions that may be beyond DNB’s control, management’s estimate of the amount necessary to absorb credit losses and actual credit losses could differ.  DNB’s current judgment is that the valuation of the allowance for credit losses remains adequate at March 31, 2008.  For a description of DNB’s accounting policies in connection with its allowance for credit losses, see, “Allowance for Credit Losses”, in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

17


Realization of deferred income tax items. Estimates of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities make up the asset category titled “net deferred taxes”.  These estimates involve significant judgments and assumptions by management, which may have a material impact on the carrying value of net deferred tax assets for financial reporting purposes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as operating loss carry forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  A valuation allowance would be established against deferred tax assets when in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become available.  For a more detailed description of these items, refer to Footnote 11 (Federal Income Taxes) to DNB’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The Footnotes to DNB's most recent Consolidated Financial Statements as set forth in DNB's Annual Report 10-K identify other significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of its financial statements.  This discussion and analysis, the significant accounting policies, and other financial statement disclosures identify and address key variables and other qualitative and quantitative factors that are necessary for an understanding and evaluation of DNB and its results of operations.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

DNB's total assets were $541.1 million at March 31, 2008 compared to $545.8 million at December 31, 2007.  The decline in total assets was primarily attributable to a decline in Federal funds sold and total loans during the three month period ended March 31, 2008 as discussed below. Other assets at March 31, 2008 were $6.5 million compared to $1.8 million at December 31, 2007. Other liabilities at March 31, 2008 were $18.5 million compared to $8.9 million at December 31, 2007. The increases in both other assets and other liabilities are due to the application of “Trade-Date” accounting for certain investment sales and purchases. Trade Date accounting is a method used to record transactions that take place on the date at which an agreement has been entered (the trade date), and not on the date the transaction has been finalized (the settlement date). 

Investment Securities. Investment securities at March 31, 2008 were $177.8 million compared to $170.9 million at December 31, 2007. The increase in investment securities was primarily due to the purchase of $32.5 million in investment securities offset by $27.4 million in sales, principal pay-downs and maturities.

Gross Loans and Leases. Loans and leases were $305.9 million at March 31, 2008 compared to $309.3 million at December 31, 2007.  DNB’s loans declined during the first quarter as overall loan demand declined and competition for potential new loans intensified.  Commercial loans grew $3.3 million while residential real estate loans, consumer loans and commercial leases declined $6.8 million in the aggregate.

Deposits. Deposits were $396.4 million at March 31, 2008 compared to $412.9 million at December 31, 2007.  Deposits declined $16.5 million or 4.0% during the three-month period ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease was attributable to decreases of $19.3 million in time deposits, offset by a $2.8 million increase in core deposits.

Borrowings. Borrowings were $91.1 million at March 31, 2008 compared to $89.9 million at December 31, 2007.  The increase of $1.2 million or 1.4% was primarily due to a $10.0 million increase in FHLB borrowings coupled with an $8.7 million decline in repurchase agreements.
 
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
SUMMARY 

Net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 was $409,000 compared to $535,000 for the same period in 2007.  Diluted earnings per share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 were $0.16 compared to $0.20 for the same period in 2007.  Earnings per share in 2007 reflect the effect of the 5% stock dividend paid in December 2007.  The decrease in net income for the latest three-month period compared to the same period in 2007 was primarily attributable to a $232,000 increase in non-interest income, which included a $153,000 increase in securities gains and a $72,000 increase in wealth management income due to higher sales of annuities and mutual funds.  This was offset by a $269,000 decrease in net-interest income after provision, a $63,000 increase in non-interest expense and a $26,000 increase in income taxes.  The increases in non-interest income and non-interest expense are discussed in detail below.  The decrease in net interest income was a result of net interest margin compression and intense competition for loan and deposit products in DNB’s marketplace.

NET INTEREST INCOME

DNB's earnings performance is primarily dependent upon its level of net interest income, which is the excess of interest income over interest expense.  Interest income includes interest earned on loans, investments and federal funds sold and interest-earning cash, as well as loan fees and dividend income earned on investment securities.  Interest expense includes interest on deposits, FHLB advances, repurchase agreements, Federal funds purchased and other borrowings.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, net interest income after a $60,000 provision for credit losses was $3.5 million, compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2007.  Interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 was $7.3 million compared to $7.5 million for the same period in 2007.  The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to an $876,000 decrease in interest on loans and leases, which was a result of a lower volume of loans outstanding, coupled with a lower yield on the loan portfolio. The yield on interest-earning assets for the first quarter in 2008 was 5.8%, compared to 6.3% for the same period in 2007.  Interest expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 was flat at $3.7 million, when compared to the same period in 2007. The cost of deposits was 2.67% for the first quarter in 2008 and the first quarter in 2007. The net interest margin for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 was 2.86%, compared to 3.21% for the same period in 2007.

Interest on loans and leases was $4.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, compared to $5.8 million for the same period in 2007. The average balance of loans and leases was $307.2 million with an average yield of 6.42% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to an average balance of $333.0 million with an average yield of 7.00% for the same period in 2007. The decrease in the average balance was primarily due to heavy competition in DNB’s marketplace.  The decrease in yield was primarily the result of lower yields on DNB’s prime-rate based loans which were lower in 2008 as a result of the Federal Reserve lowering the Federal funds rate by 300 basis points since the end of March 2007.

Interest and dividends on investment securities was $2.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2007.  The average balance on investment securities was $172.6 million with an average yield of 5.18% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to an average balance of $138.5 million with an average yield of 4.81% for the same period in 2007. The increase in yield was primarily due to the sale of tax-free securities throughout 2007 and the purchase of taxable securities with the proceeds.

Interest expense was $3.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, compared to $3.7 million for the same period in 2007.  The average balance of deposits was $403.8 million with an average rate of 2.67% for the quarter-ended March 31, 2008 compared to $379.3 million with an average rate of 2.67% for the same period in 2007. The increase in the average balance was primarily the result of year-over-year increased deposit relationships through aggressive marketing efforts and the opening of a new branch in Chadds Ford. The average balance of borrowings was $82.7 million with an average rate of 5.01% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to $94.1 million with an average rate of 5.17% for the same period in 2007. The decrease in the average balance was attributable to a $20.1 million average decline in repurchase agreements, offset by a $9.7 million average increase in FHLB borrowings. The decrease in average balance of repurchase agreements was due to a fewer number of commercial customers using this product during the quarter as compared to the prior year.  The decrease in rate was attributable to a decrease in market rates resulting from the Federal Reserve’s tightening actions over the last eight months. The composite cost of funds was 3.07% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to 3.17% for the same period in 2007.


ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

To provide for known and inherent losses in the loan and lease portfolios, DNB maintains an allowance for credit losses. Provisions for credit losses are charged against income to increase the allowance when necessary. Loan and lease losses are charged directly against the allowance and recoveries on previously charged-off loans and leases are added to the allowance. In establishing its allowance for credit losses, management considers the size and risk exposure of each segment of the loan and lease portfolio, past loss experience, present indicators of risk such as delinquency rates, levels of non-accruals, the potential for losses in future periods, and other relevant factors. Management’s evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio generally includes reviews of problem borrowers of $100,000 or greater. Consideration is also given to examinations performed by regulatory agencies, primarily the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”).

In establishing and reviewing the allowance for adequacy, management establishes the allowance for credit losses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and the guidance provided in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 102 (SAB 102).  Its methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements which include: specific allowances for identified problem loans; formula based allowances for commercial and commercial real estate loans; and allowances for pooled, homogenous loans.  As a result, management has taken into consideration factors and variables which may influence the risk of loss within the loan portfolio, including: (i) trends in delinquency and non-accrual loans; (ii) changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio; (iii) effects of any changes in lending policies; (iv) experience, ability, and
 
19

depth of management; (v) quality of loan review; (vi) national and local economic trends and conditions; (vii) concentrations of credit; and (viii) effect of external factors on estimated credit losses.  In addition, DNB reviews historical loss experience for the commercial real estate, commercial, residential real estate, home equity and consumer installment loan pools to determine a historical loss factor. The historical loss factors are then applied to the current portfolio balances to determine the required reserve percentage for each loan pool based on risk rating.

DNB’s percentage of allowance for credit losses to total loans and leases was 1.28% at March 31, 2008 compared to 1.26% at December 31, 2007.  Management believes that the allowance for credit losses was adequate and provided for known and inherent credit losses.

The following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for credit losses for the periods indicated.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income includes service charges on deposit products; fees received in connection with the sale of non-depository products and services, including fiduciary and investment advisory services offered through DNB Advisors; securities brokerage products and services and insurance brokerage products and services offered through DNB Financial Services; and other sources of income such as increases in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance ("BOLI"), net gains on sales of investment securities and other real estate owned ("OREO") properties. In addition, DNB receives fees for cash management, merchant services, debit cards, safe deposit box rentals, lockbox services and similar activities.

Non-interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 was $1.2 million compared to $968,000 for the same period in 2007.  The $232,000 increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $153,000 in gain on the sale of securities and an increase of $72,000 in wealth advisory income due to higher annuity sales.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense includes salaries & employee benefits, furniture & equipment, occupancy, professional & consulting fees as well as printing & supplies, marketing and other less significant expense items.  Non-interest expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 was $4.2 million compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2007 resulting in a $63,000 increase quarter-over-quarter. The primary cause of the increase was attributable to an $81,000 increase in Occupancy and Furniture & Equipment expense, which was attributable to the addition of the Chadds Ford office and the renovation of the West Goshen office. This was offset by a $45,000 decrease in Printing & Supplies quarter over quarter.  Non-interest expense to average assets was 3.20% for the quarter compared to 3.30% for the same quarter in 2007.  The efficiency ratio was 86.72% for the quarter compared to 83.83% for the same quarter in 2007.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 was $100,000 compared to $74,000 for the same period in 2007. The effective tax rate for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 was 19.6%, compared to 12.2% for the same period in 2007. Although 2008 pre-tax income was $100,000 lower during the first quarter of 2008, income tax expense and the effective tax rate for the current period were higher than the same period in 2007.  This was caused by DNB reducing its investments in tax-exempt loans and tax-exempt securities and investing the proceeds in taxable securities.  Income tax expense for each period differs from the amount determined at the statutory rate of 34% due to tax-exempt income on loans and investment securities, DNB's ownership of BOLI policies, and tax credits recognized on a low-income housing limited partnership.

ASSET QUALITY

Non-performing assets are comprised of non-accrual loans and leases, loans and leases delinquent over ninety days and still accruing, troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") and Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO").  Non-accrual loans and leases are loans and leases for which the accrual of interest ceases when the collection of principal or interest payments is determined to be doubtful by management.  It is the policy of DNB to discontinue the accrual of interest when principal or interest payments are delinquent 90 days or more (unless the loan principal and interest are determined by management to be fully secured and in the process of collection), or earlier if considered prudent. Interest received on such loans is applied to the principal balance, or may, in some instances, be recognized as income on a cash basis.  A non-accrual loan or lease may be restored to accrual status when management expects to collect all contractual principal and interest due and the borrower has demonstrated a sustained period of repayment performance in accordance with the contractual terms.  OREO consists of real estate acquired by foreclosure.  OREO is carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, less estimated disposition costs.  Any significant change in the level of non-performing assets is dependent, to a large extent, on the economic climate within DNB's market area.

The following table sets forth those assets that are: (i) placed on non-accrual status, (ii) contractually delinquent by 90 days or more and still accruing, (iii) troubled debt restructurings other than those included in items (i) and (ii), and (iv) OREO as a result of foreclosure or voluntary transfer to DNB.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management maintains liquidity to meet depositors’ needs for funds, to satisfy or fund loan commitments, and for other operating purposes.  DNB’s foundation for liquidity is a stable and loyal customer deposit base, cash and cash equivalents, and a marketable investment portfolio that provides periodic cash flow through regular maturities and amortization, or that can be used as collateral to secure funding.  As part of its liquidity management, DNB maintains assets that comprise its primary liquidity, which totaled $97.9 million at March 31, 2008.  Primary liquidity includes investments, Federal funds sold, and interest-bearing cash balances, less pledged securities.  DNB also anticipates scheduled payments and prepayments on its loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolios.  In addition, DNB maintains borrowing arrangements with various correspondent banks, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia to meet short-term liquidity needs.  Through these relationships, DNB has available credit of approximately $194.3 million. Management believes that DNB has adequate resources to meet its short-term and long-term funding requirements.

At March 31, 2008, DNB had $65.1 million in un-funded loan commitments. Management anticipates these commitments will be funded by means of normal cash flows.  Certificates of deposit greater than or equal to $100,000 scheduled to mature in one year or less from March 31, 2008 totaled $63.1 million.  Management believes that the majority of such deposits will be reinvested with DNB and that certificates that are not renewed will be funded by a reduction in Federal funds sold or by pay-downs and maturities of loans and investments.

In March of 2005, DNB completed a private offering of $4 million Trust Preferred Securities, and in November 2005, DNB completed a private offering of 265,730 shares of its common stock to 53 accredited investors at a price of $21.00 per share, realizing total offering proceeds of $5.6 million.  DNB invested the majority of the proceeds of each of these securities issuances into the Bank to increase the Bank’s capital levels and legal lending limit.

Management believes that the Corporation and the Bank have each met the definition of “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes on March 31, 2008.  The Bank’s capital category is determined for the purposes of applying the bank regulators’ “prompt corrective action” regulations and for determining levels of deposit insurance assessments and may not constitute an accurate representation of the Corporation’s or the Bank’s overall financial condition or prospects. The Corporation’s capital exceeds the FRB’s minimum lever­age ratio requirements for bank holding companies (see additional discussion included in Footnote 17 of DNB’s 10-K).

Under federal banking laws and regulations, DNB and the Bank are required to maintain minimum capital as determined by certain regulatory ratios. Capital adequacy for regulatory purposes, and the capital category assigned to an institution by its regulators, may be determinative of an institution’s overall financial condition.

In addition, the Federal Reserve Bank (the "FRB") leverage ratio rules require bank holding companies to maintain a minimum level of "primary capital" to total assets of 5.5% and a minimum level of "total capital" to total assets of 6%.  For this purpose, (i) "primary capital" includes, among other items, common stock, certain perpetual debt instruments such as eligible Trust preferred securities, contingency and other capital reserves, and the allowance for loan losses, (ii) "total capital" includes, among other things, certain subordinated debt, and "total assets" is increased by the allowance for loan losses.  DNB's primary capital ratio and its total capital ratio are both well in excess of FRB requirements.


REGULATORY MATTERS

Dividends payable to the Corporation by the Bank are subject to certain regulatory limitations. Under normal circumstances, the payment of dividends in any year without regulatory permission is limited to the net profits (as defined for regulatory purposes) for that year, plus the retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report may contain statements that are not of historical facts and may pertain to future operating results or events or management's expectations regarding those results or events. These are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements contained in this report that are not historical facts. When used in this report, the words "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "plans", "believes", "seeks", "estimates", or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs, such as "will", "would", "should", "could", or "may" are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such statements. For example, actual results may be adversely affected by the following possibilities: (1) competitive pressures among financial institutions may increase; (2) changes in interest rates may reduce banking interest margins; (3) general economic conditions and real estate values may be less favorable than contemplated; (4) adverse legislation or regulatory requirements may be adopted; (5) other unexpected contingencies may arise; (6) DNB may change one or more strategies described in this document; or (7) management's evaluation of certain facts, circumstances or trends and the appropriate responses to them may change. These forward-looking statements are inherently subject to significant business, economic
 
23

and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are either beyond our control or not reasonably capable of predicting at this time. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. Actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in these forward-looking statements. Readers of this report are accordingly cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. DNB disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any of the forward-looking statements herein, whether in response to new information, future events or otherwise.


ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

To measure the impacts of longer-term asset and liability mismatches beyond two years, DNB utilizes an Economic Value of Equity ("EVE") model.  The EVE model measures the potential price risk of equity to changes in interest rates and factors in the optionality included on the balance sheet.  EVE analysis is used to dynamically model the present value of asset and liability cash flows, with rates ranging up or down 200 basis points.  The EVE is likely to be different if rates change.  Results falling outside prescribed ranges require action by management.  At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, DNB's variance in the EVE as a percentage of assets with an instantaneous and sustained parallel shift of 200 basis points was within its negative 3% guideline, as shown in the table below.  The change as a percentage of the present value of equity with a 200 basis point increase or decrease at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, was within DNB's negative 25% guideline.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DNB’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of March 31, 2008, the end of the period covered by this report, in accordance with the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 240.13a-15(b). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that DNB’s current disclosure controls and procedures are effective and timely, providing them with material information relating to DNB and its subsidiaries required to be disclosed in the report DNB files under the Exchange Act.

Management of DNB is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for DNB, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  There was no change in the DNB’s “internal control over financial reporting” (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, DNB’s internal control over financial reporting.
