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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, 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, 2008.

Subsequent Events--Management has considered subsequent events through November 13, 2009 in preparing the September 30, 2009 Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

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

Although the fair value will fluctuate as market interest rates move, management believes that these fair values will recover as the underlying portfolios mature and are reinvested in market rate yielding investments. As of September 30, 2009, there were 6 municipal obligations, 14 corporate bonds, 3 agency notes, and 5 collateralized mortgage obligations which were in an unrealized loss position.  DNB does not intend to sell these securities and management of the Corporation does not expect to be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of its cost basis. Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of September 30, 2009 represents an other-than-temporary impairment.

Included in unrealized losses are market losses on securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or more and those securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months. The table below details the aggregate unrealized losses and aggregate fair value of the underlying securities whose fair values are below their amortized cost at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

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


DNB has $7.6 million in AFS securities and $10.5 million in HTM securities, which have had fair values below amortized cost for at least twelve continuous months at September 30, 2009. The total unrealized loss of these securities was $601,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. The impaired securities consist of corporate, municipal and equity securities as well as agency collateralized mortgage backed securities. On a quarterly basis, management reviews all securities in its investment portfolio to identify any securities that might have an other-than-temporary impairment. Management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2009, the unrealized losses were temporary in nature. The unrealized losses on our debt securities are not related to the underlying credit quality of the issuers, and they are on securities that have contractual maturity dates (with the exception of equity securities). The principal and interest payments on our debt securities have been made as scheduled, and there is no evidence that the issuer will not continue to do so. In management’s opinion, the future principal payments will be sufficient to recover the current amortized cost of the securities.

The unrealized losses as noted above are primarily related to market interest rates and the current investment environment. The current declines in market value are not significant, and management of the Corporation believes that these values will recover as market interest rates move and the current market environment improves. The unrealized losses on equity securities, which do not have maturity dates or principal payments, are also primarily related to market interest rates and the current investment environment. DNB does not intend to sell these securities and management of the Corporation does not expect to be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of its cost basis.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities as of September 30, 2009, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain securities may be called or prepaid without penalties.

DNB sold $81.9 million and $108.5 million from the AFS portfolio during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Gains and losses resulting from investment sales, redemptions or calls were as follows:

At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, investment securities with a carrying value of approximately $178.4 million and $100.0 million, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds, borrowings, repurchase agreements and for other purposes as required by law.
 
As of September 30, 2008, DNB reclassified its taxable municipal securities with a book value (net carrying amount) of $22.7 million from available-for-sale (AFS) to held-to-maturity (HTM). Reclassifying the taxable municipal securities to HTM will reduce the volatility and future negative effect on DNB’s capital ratios, because HTM securities are not marked-to-market through other comprehensive income, but carried at their amortized cost basis. The fair value of our taxable municipal securities was $22.0 million at September 30, 2008, the date of their reclassification. The $683,000 difference between their book value and their fair value will be treated like a discount and accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the security. The unrealized loss on these securities, which is in accumulated other comprehensive loss, will be amortized as an adjustment of yield in a manner consistent with the discount, thus offsetting or mitigating the effect on interest income of the amortization of the discount. As of September 30, 2009 the discount totaled $612,000 and the average remaining life of these securities was 10.4 years.

NOTE 3: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are 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 the amortized portion of 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.  There were 186,311 anti-dilutive stock warrants, 169,503 anti-dilutive stock options outstanding and 24,101 anti-dilutive stock awards at September 30, 2009. There were 187,590 anti-dilutive stock options outstanding and 14,674 anti-dilutive stock awards at September 30, 2008. See Note 11 for a discussion of stock warrants issued in conjunction with Preferred shares issued to the U.S. Treasury Department as part of the CPP.

NOTE 6: 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 $5.0 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 7: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to Accounting Standard Codification 105-10, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. This standard establishes the FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB for nongovernmental entities. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification is a reorganization of existing U.S. GAAP and does not change existing U.S. GAAP. The Corporation adopted this standard during the third quarter of 2009. The adoption had no impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
 
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”, and SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”. These standards are effective for the first interim reporting period of 2010. SFAS No. 166 amends the guidance in ASC 860 to eliminate the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”) and changes some of the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. SFAS No. 167 amends the consolidation guidance in ASC 810-10. Specifically, the amendments will (a) eliminate the exemption for QSPEs from the new guidance, (b) shift the determination of which enterprise should consolidate a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to a current control approach, such that an entity that has both the power to make decisions and right to receive benefits or absorb losses that could potentially be significant, will consolidate a VIE, and (c) change when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a VIE The adoption will have no impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”, which updates ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. The updated guidance clarifies that the fair value of a liability can be measured in relation to the quoted price of the liability when it trades as an asset in an active market, without adjusting the price for restrictions that prevent the sale of the liability. This guidance is effective beginning October 1, 2009. The Corporation does not expect that the guidance will change its valuation techniques for measuring liabilities at fair value.

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

In May 2009, the FASB updated ASC 855, “Subsequent Events”. ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The Corporation adopted this guidance during the second quarter of 2009. In accordance with the update, the Corporation evaluates subsequent events through the date its financial statements are filed. The Corporation adopted this guidance on June 30, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting ASC 320-10, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.” The guidance amends the other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) guidance for debt securities. If the fair value of a debt security is less than its amortized cost basis at the measurement date, the updated guidance requires the Corporation to determine whether it has the intent to sell the debt security or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the debt security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either condition is met, an entity must recognize full impairment. For all other debt securities that are considered other-than-temporarily impaired and do not meet either condition, the guidance requires that the credit loss portion of impairment be recognized in earnings and the temporary impairment related to all other factors be recorded in other comprehensive income. In addition, the guidance requires additional disclosures regarding impairments on debt and equity securities. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” to provide guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. This issuance provides guidance on estimating fair value when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and for identifying transactions that may not be orderly. The guidance requires entities to disclose the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and to discuss changes in valuation techniques and related inputs, if any, in both interim and annual periods. The Corporation adopted this standard on June 30, 2009. The adoption had no impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”. This guidance amends the fair value disclosure guidance in ASC 825-10-50 and requires an entity to disclose the fair value of its financial instruments in interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements. The methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and any changes in methods and assumptions used during the reporting period are also required to be disclosed both on an interim and annual basis. The Corporation adopted this guidance during the second quarter of 2009.

In June 2008, the FASB issued new guidance impacting ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share.” The guidance concludes that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities that should be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. All prior period earnings per share data presented must be adjusted retrospectively. The adoption had no impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

 ASU 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent),” issued in September, 2009, allows a company to measure the fair value of an investment that has no readily determinable fair market value on the basis of the investee’s net asset value per share as provided by the investee. This allowance assumes that the investee has calculated net asset value in accordance with the GAAP measurement principles of Topic 946 as of the reporting entity’s measurement date.   Examples of such investments include investments in hedge funds, private equity funds, real estate funds and venture capital funds. The update also provides guidance on how the investment should be classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the value for which the investment can be redeemed.  The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted.  The Corporation does not have investments in such entities and, therefore, there will be no impact to our financial statements.
 
Issued October, 2009, ASU 2009-15, “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing” amends ASC Topic 470 and provides guidance for accounting and reporting for own-share lending arrangements issued in contemplation of a convertible debt issuance.  At the date of issuance, a share-lending arrangement entered into on an entity’s own shares should be measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820 and recognized as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid-in capital.  Loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs.  The amendments also require several disclosures including a description and the terms of the arrangement and the reason for entering into the arrangement.  The effective dates of the amendments are dependent upon the date the share-lending arrangement was entered into and include retrospective application for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009.   The Corporation has no plans to issue convertible debt and, therefore, does not expect the guidance to have an impact on its financial statements.

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 Corporation.  DNB did not grant any shares of restricted stock during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009. 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 one year, during which the shares may not be sold, pledged or otherwise disposed of. 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 and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, $28,000 and $79,000 was amortized to expense. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, $16,000 and $99,000 was amortized to expense.   At September 30, 2009, 205,913 shares were reserved for future grants under the plan.   Stock grant activity is indicated below.

NOTE  9:  INCOME TAXES

As of September 30, 2009, the Corporation had no material unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties. It is the Corporation’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 2005 through 2008 were open for examination as of September 30, 2009. Income tax expense (benefit) for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 was $184,000 and $222,000 compared to ($65,000) and $140,000 for the same periods in 2008. The effective tax rate for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 was 22.5% and 17.1% respectively, compared to (48.2%) and 11.9% for the same periods in 2008. 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.
 

NOTE 10:  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURES

FASB ASC 820 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 within its scope 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 FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ACS 820 are as follows:

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 drivers are observable.
 
Level 3 — Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value is set forth below:

DNB’s available-for-sale investment securities, which generally include U.S. government agencies and mortgage backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, corporate bonds and equity 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.

            Impaired loans are those loans that the Bank has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral.  Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds.  These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

OREO assets are adjusted to fair value less estimated selling costs upon transfer of the loans to OREO.  Subsequently, OREO assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral.  There assets are included as level 3 fair values.

The following table summarizes the assets at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 that are recognized on DNB’s balance sheet using fair value measurement determined based on the differing levels of input.

 Impaired loans.  Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a carrying amount of $9.2 million at September 30, 2009. Of this, $3.6 million had a valuation allowance of $448,000 and $5.6 million had no allowance as of September 30, 2009. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we did not recognize any impairment charges related to loans. Impaired loans had a carrying amount of $1.2 million at December 31, 2008. The valuation allowance on impaired loans was $120,000 as of December 31, 2008.
 
 
Other Real Estate Owned & other repossessed property.  Other real estate owned ("OREO") consists of properties acquired as a result of, or in-lieu-of, foreclosure. Properties or other assets (primarily repossessed assets formerly leased) are classified as OREO and other repossessed property and are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Costs relating to the development or improvement of the assets are capitalized and costs relating to holding the assets are charged to expense. DNB had $4.6 million of such assets at September 30, 2009, which consisted of $4.5 million in OREO and $132,000 in other repossessed property. DNB had $5.0 million of such assets at December 31, 2008, which consisted of $4.9 million in OREO and $93,000 in other repossessed property. Subsequent to the repossession of these assets, DNB did not write down their carrying values during the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2009, based on appraisals.

The specific estimation methods and assumptions used can have a substantial impact on the resulting fair values of financial instruments. Following is a brief summary of the significant assumptions, methods, and estimates used in estimating fair value.
 
Limitations Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time DNB’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of DNB’s financial

instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Investment Securities, Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable The carrying amounts for short-term investments (cash and cash equivalents) and accrued interest receivable and payable approximate fair value. The fair value of investment securities are determined 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. The carrying amount of non-readily marketable equity securities approximates liquidation value.
 
Loans Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, commercial mortgages, residential mortgages, consumer and student loans, and non-accrual loans. The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting expected cash flows using an estimated market discount rate. Expected cash flows include both contractual cash flows and prepayments of loan balances. Prepayments on consumer loans were determined using the median of estimates of securities dealers for mortgage-backed investment pools.
 
The estimated discount rate considers credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan portfolios and other factors such as liquidity premiums and incremental servicing costs to an investor. Management has made estimates of fair value discount rates that it believes to be reasonable. However, because there is no market for many of these financial instruments, management has no basis to determine whether the fair value presented below would be indicative of the value negotiated in an actual sale.
 
The fair value for non-accrual loans was derived through a discounted cash flow analysis, which includes the opportunity costs of carrying a non-performing asset. An estimated discount rate was used for all non-accrual loans, based on the probability of loss and the expected time to recovery.
 
Deposits and Borrowings  The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest- bearing deposits, savings, NOW and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair values of time deposits and borrowings are based on the present value of contractual cash flows. The discount rates used to compute present values are estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar maturities in DNB’s marketplace and rates currently being offered for borrowings of similar maturities.
 
Off-balance-sheet Instruments (Disclosed at Cost) Off-balance-sheet instruments are primarily comprised of loan commitments, which are generally priced at market at the time of funding. Fees on commitments to extend credit and stand-by letters of credit are deemed to be immaterial and these instruments are expected to be settled at face value or expire unused. It is impractical to assign any fair value to these instruments. At September 30, 2009, un-funded loan commitments totaled $50.4 million. Stand-by letters of credit totaled $2.9 million at September 30, 2009. At December 31, 2008, un-funded loan commitments totaled $55.3 million. Stand-by letters of credit totaled $3.0 million at December 31, 2008.

NOTE 11:  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stockholders' equity was $42.8 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $30.1 million at December 31, 2008.  The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily a result of participation in the U.S. Treasury Capital Purchase program as described below, coupled with year-to-date earnings of $1.1 million and a $777,000 change in unrealized gains, net-of-tax, on the securities portfolio. These additions to stockholders equity were partially offset by $508,000 of dividends paid on DNB’s common stock, $74,000 of dividends accrued and $318,000 of dividends paid on DNB’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock.

On January 30, 2009, as part of the CPP administered by the United States Department of the Treasury, DNB Financial Corporation entered into a Letter Agreement and a Securities Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Treasury, pursuant to which the DNB issued and sold on January 30, 2009, and the U.S. Treasury purchased for cash on that date (i) 11,750 shares of the Corporation’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series 2008A, par value $10.00 per share, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, and (ii) a ten-year warrant to purchase up to 186,311 shares of the DNB’s common stock, $1.00 par value, at an exercise price of $9.46 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $11,750,000 in cash. This transaction closed on January 30, 2009. The issuance and sale of these securities was a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. During 2009 the Bank will need to provide dividends to the Corporation in connection with the $11,750,000 of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock sold on January 30, 2009 as part of the CPP administered by the United States Department of the Treasury.
 

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 2008, 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 endeavor 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. A discussion of DNB's Key Strategies follows below:

·  
Focus on penetrating markets and allowing existing locations to maximize profitability
 
 
 
19


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

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

·  
Grow loans and diversify the mix

·  
Reduce long-term borrowings

·  
Focus on profitable customer segments

·  
Grow and diversify non-interest income

·  
Focus on reducing DNB’s cost of funds by changing DNB’s mix of deposits

·  
Focus on cost containment and improving operational efficiencies
 
Strategic Plan Update. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, management focused on expense control as well as growing its loan portfolio and deposit base. Gross loans at September 30, 2009 grew $14.2 million or 4.21% compared to December 31, 2008, with most of this growth coming in the third quarter. Non–interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 declined 3.37% or $136,000 compared to the same period in 2008. The composite cost of funds for the third quarter was 1.87% compared to 2.45% for the same period in 2008. Deposits rose by $95.5 million, to $504.0 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $408.5 million at December 31, 2008. Stockholder’s equity increased $12.7 million, to $42.8 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $30.1 million at December 31, 2008 and increased $1.9 million when compared to June 30, 2009.
 
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 material challenges, risks and opportunities DNB has faced during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009.

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.

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 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.
 
 
20


 
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 September 30, 2009, DNB had $34.2 million in cash and cash equivalents to meet its funding requirements.  This declined from $48.1 million at December 31, 2008, primarily due to the purchase of additional investment securities.  During the nine month period, total investment securities increased $108.7 million to $232.8 million at September 30, 2009.  Funding for the increase in investments came from an increase in deposits of $95.5 million and a decline in cash and cash equivalents of $13.9 million.

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.
 
Deposit Insurance Assessments; FICO Assessments. DNB pays deposit insurance premiums to the FDIC based on an assessment rate established by the FDIC. In 2006, the FDIC enacted various rules to implement the provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (the "FDI Reform Act"). Pursuant to the FDI Reform Act, in 2006 the FDIC merged the Bank Insurance Fund with the Savings Association Insurance Fund to create a newly named Deposit Insurance Fund (the "DIF") that covers both banks and savings associations. For most banks and savings associations, including DNB, FDIC rates will depend upon a combination of CAMELS component ratings and financial ratios. CAMELS ratings reflect the applicable bank regulatory agency's evaluation of the financial institution's capital, asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to risk. For large banks and savings associations that have long-term debt issuer ratings, assessment rates will depend upon such ratings and CAMELS component ratings.
 
Effective April 1, 2009, a bank’s annual assessment base rates will be as follows, depending on the bank’s risk category:

The base assessment rate can be adjusted downward based on a bank's unsecured debt and level of excess capital above the well capitalized threshold, or upward based on a bank's secured liabilities including Federal Home Loan Bank advances and repurchase agreements, so that the total risk-based assessment rates will range as follows depending on a bank's risk category:

On May 22, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule imposing a 5 basis point special assessment on each insured depository institution's assets minus Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009. The amount of the special assessment for any institution will not exceed 10 basis points times the institution's assessment base for the second quarter 2009. The special assessment was collected on September 30, 2009.
 
On September 29, 2009, the FDIC proposed to require insured depository institutions such as the Bank to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. It also adopted a uniform three-basis point increase in assessment rates effective on January 1, 2011. In announcing these initiatives, the FDIC stated that, while the prepaid assessment would not immediately affect bank earnings, each institution would record the entire amount of its prepaid assessment as a prepaid expense as of December 30, 2009, the date the payment would be made and, as of December 31, 2009 and each quarter thereafter, record an expense or charge to earnings for its regular quarterly assessment and an offsetting credit to the prepaid assessment until the asset is exhausted. Once the asset is exhausted, institutions would resume paying and accounting for quarterly deposit insurance assessments as they currently do.
 
On November 12, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule to require insured institutions to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009, and for all of 2010, 2011, and 2012. The prepaid assessment will be collected on December 30, 2009, along with each institution’s regular quarterly risk-based deposit insurance assessment for the third quarter of 2009.  For purposes of calculating the prepaid assessment, each institution’s assessment rate will be its total base assessment rate in effect on September 30, 2009.  On September 29, 2009, the FDIC increased annual assessment rates uniformly by 3 basis points beginning in 2011. As a result, an institution’s total base assessment rate for purposes of calculating the prepayment will be increased by an annualized 3 basis points beginning in 2011. For purposes of calculating the amount that an institution will prepay on December 30, 2009, an institution’s third quarter 2009 assessment base will be increased quarterly at a 5 percent annual growth rate through the end of 2012. The FDIC will begin to draw down an institution’s prepaid assessments on March 30, 2010, representing payment for the regular quarterly risk-based assessment for the fourth quarter of 2009.
 
The Bank’s current regular annual assessment rate is 15.55 basis points.
 
The FDIA, as amended by the FDI Reform Act, requires the FDIC to set a ratio of deposit insurance reserves to estimated insured deposits, the designated reserve ratio (the "DRR"), for a particular year within a range of 1.15% to 1.50%. For 2009, the FDIC has set the DRR at 1.25%, which is unchanged from 2008 levels. Under the FDI Reform Act and the FDIC's revised premium assessment program, every FDIC-insured institution will pay some level of deposit insurance assessments regardless of the level of the DRR. We cannot predict whether, as a result of an adverse change in economic conditions or other reasons, the FDIC will be required in the future to increase deposit insurance assessments above current levels. The FDIC also adopted rules providing for a one-time credit assessment to each eligible insured depository institution based on the assessment base of the institution on December 31, 1996. The credit may be applied against the institution's 2007 assessment, and for the three years thereafter the institution may apply the credit against up to 90% of its assessment. DNB qualified for a credit of approximately $245,000, of which $170,000 was applied in 2007 and the remaining balance of $75,000 was applied in 2008, thereby exhausting the credit.
 
In addition, the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 authorized the Financing Corporation ("FICO") to impose assessments on DIF applicable deposits in order to service the interest on FICO's bond obligations from deposit insurance fund assessments. The amount assessed on individual institutions by FICO will be in addition to the amount, if any, paid for deposit insurance according to the FDIC's risk-related assessment rate schedules. FICO assessment rates may be adjusted quarterly to reflect a change in assessment base. 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 third quarter of 2009 was at an annual rate of 1.02 basis points (1.02 cents per $100 of assessable deposits).  Under the FDIA, insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC.

Material Trends and Uncertainties. The global and U.S. economies are experiencing significantly reduced business activity as a result of disruptions in the financial system. Dramatic declines in the housing market, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures and unemployment, have resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions, including government-sponsored entities and major commercial and investment banks. As a result of the recession, retail customers may delay borrowing from DNB as unemployment increases and the value of existing homes decline and the availability to borrow against equity diminishes. As the U.S. economy moves through a period of recession, delinquencies will rise as the value of homes decline and DNB’s borrowers experience financial difficulty due to corporate downsizing, reduced sales, or other negative events which may impact their ability to meet their contractual loan payments. As a result of these negative trends in the economy and their impact on our borrowers’ ability to repay their loans, DNB made a $300,000 and a $700,000 provision during the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2009 in response to DNB’s increased level of non-performing assets which grew to $13.8 million from $7.7 million at December 31, 2008 along with other changes in our loan and lease portfolio. In addition, during the first nine months of 2009, management strengthened DNB's capital and liquidity positions.  Total Risk Based Capital stood at 14.24% at September 30, 2009. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $34.2 million, from $48.1 million at December 31, 2008.

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.  As mentioned above in Material Trends and Uncertainties, the economic downturn, increased unemployment, and other events  negatively impact household and/or corporate incomes and 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 war in Afghanistan and 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 principles. 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, 2008.

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 September 30, 2009.  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.

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 (such as recognition of provisions for loan and lease losses expense in one period for financial reporting purposes, but not deducted for tax purposes until the loans are actually charged off in a subsequent period), 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. The future realization of deferred tax assets depends on sufficient taxable income. If expectations of future taxable income change (for example if future income is higher or lower than originally expected), the valuation allowance may increase or decrease and the benefit of deferred tax assets van be reduced or increased correspondingly from prior years’ estimates.  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, 2008.

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 $641.3 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $533.4 million at December 31, 2008.  The increase in total assets was primarily attributable to a $108.7 million increase in total investment securities as described below.

Investment Securities. Investment securities at September 30, 2009 were $232.8 million compared to $124.1 million at December 31, 2008.  The significant increase in investment securities was primarily due to the purchase of $220.0 million in investment securities, offset by $112.4 million in sales, principal pay-downs and maturities.

Gross Loans and Leases. DNB’s loans and leases increased $14.2 million to $350.6 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $336.5 million at December 31, 2008.  Total commercial loans increased $25.3 million, while consumer loans, commercial leases, and residential loans declined $7.5 million, $3.0 million and $641,000, respectively.  Commercial loans increased as a result new lending relationships cultivated by our loan officers as well as the purchase of Government guaranteed SBA and USDA loans.  Consumer loans have declined as a result of the fall in housing prices during the past 12-18 months.

Deposits. Deposits were $504.0 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $408.5 million at December 31, 2008.  Deposits increased $95.5 million or 23.4% during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009.  Core deposits, which are comprised of demand, NOW, money markets and savings accounts, increased $47.6 million and time deposits increased by $47.9 million.  Management believes that the increase in deposits was primarily attributable to consumers seeking more stable investments, such as FDIC insured deposits, as a result of the uncertain economic environment.

Borrowings. Borrowings were $90.4 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $90.1 million at December 31, 2008.

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders' equity was $42.8 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $30.1 million at December 31, 2008.  The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily a result of participation in the U.S. Treasury Capital Purchase program as described below, coupled with year-to-date earnings of $1.1 million and a $777,000 change in unrealized gains, net-of-tax, on the securities portfolio. These additions to stockholders’ equity were partially offset by $508,000 of dividends paid on DNB’s common stock, $74,000 of dividends accrued and $318,000 of dividends paid on DNB’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock.
 
On January 30, 2009, as part of the CPP administered by the United States Department of the Treasury, DNB Financial Corporation entered into a Letter Agreement and a Securities Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Treasury, pursuant to which the DNB issued and sold on January 30, 2009, and the U.S. Treasury purchased for cash on that date (i) 11,750 shares of the Corporation’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series 2008A, par value $10.00 per share, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, and (ii) a ten-year warrant to purchase up to 186,311 shares of the DNB’s common stock, $1.00 par value, at an exercise price of $9.46 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $11,750,000 in cash. This transaction closed on January 30, 2009. The issuance and sale of these securities was a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. During 2009 the Bank will need to provide dividends to the Corporation in connection with the $11,750,000 of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock sold on January 30, 2009 as part of the CPP administered by the United States Department of the Treasury.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SUMMARY 

Net income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 was $634,000 and $1.1 million compared to $199,000 and $1.0 million for the same periods in 2008.  Diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 were $0.18 and $0.25 compared to $0.08 and $0.40 for the same periods in 2008. The $435,000 increase in net income during the most recent three-month period was attributable to a $391,000 increase in net interest income after provision for credit losses, a $157,000 increase in non-interest income and a $136,000 decrease in non-interest expense, offset by a $249,000 increase in income tax expense. The increase in net interest income after provision for credit losses, the increase in non-interest income, as well as the decrease in non-interest expense are discussed in detail below.

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.

Net interest income after provision for credit losses for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 was $3.7 million and $10.5 million, compared to $3.3 million and $10.1 million for the same periods in 2008.  Interest income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 was $6.7 million and $19.2 million compared to $7.2 million and $21.3 million for the same periods in 2008.  The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest and dividends on investment securities due to lower yields.  In addition, interest on loans declined due to higher levels of non-performing loans and lower yields due to lower market rates. The yield on interest-earning assets for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 was 4.39% and 4.58%, compared to 5.37% and 5.56% for the same periods in 2008.  Interest expense for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 was $2.8 million and $8.0 million compared to $3.2 million and $10.0 million for the same periods in 2008. The decrease in interest expense during both periods was primarily attributable to lower rates on interest-bearing liabilities. The composite cost of funds for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 was 1.87% and 1.98%, compared to 2.45% and 2.66% for the same periods in 2008.   The net interest margin for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 was 2.58% and 2.67%, compared 2.99% and 2.98%, for the same periods in 2008.

Interest on loans and leases was $4.9 million and $14.3 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, compared to $5.1 million and $14.6 million for the same periods in 2008. The average balance of loans and leases was $343.6 million with an average yield of 5.68% for the current quarter compared to $330.4 million with an average yield of 6.06% for the same period in 2008.  The average balance of loans and leases was $335.8 million with an average yield of 5.69% for the current nine months compared to $314.8 million with an average yield of 6.18% for the same period in 2008.  The decrease in yield during both periods was primarily the result of a declining interest rate environment, coupled with an increase in non-performing loans as discussed below.

Interest and dividends on investment securities was $1.8 million and $4.8 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, compared to $2.0 million and $6.3 million for the same periods in 2008.  The average balance of investment securities was $221.7 million with an average yield of 3.26% for the current quarter compared to $166.0 million with an average yield of 4.83% for the same period in 2008.  The average balance of investment securities was $182.1 million with an average yield of 3.57% for the current nine months compared to $169.7 million with an average yield of 5.03% for the same period in 2008. The decrease in the yield during both periods was primarily the result of a declining interest rate environment, coupled with the sales of certain higher yielding securities.

Interest on deposits was $1.8 million and $5.1 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, compared to $2.2 million and $6.9 million for the same periods in 2008.   The average balance of deposits was $495.5 million with an average rate of 1.45% for the current quarter compared to $429.8 million with an average rate of 1.99% for the same period in 2008.    The average balance of deposits was $444.7 million with an average rate of 1.54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $411.2 million with an average rate of 2.22% for the same period in 2008. The increase in the average balance during both periods was primarily the result of year-over-year increased deposit relationships through aggressive marketing and cross-selling efforts.  The decrease in rate during both periods was primarily attributable to lower rates being paid on maturing time deposits and certain money market accounts, stimulated by a lower interest rate environment.

Interest on borrowings was $958,000 and $2.9 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, compared to $1.0 million and $3.1 million for the same periods in 2008. The average balance of borrowings was $94.1 million with an average rate of 4.04% for the current quarter compared to $89.9 million with an average rate of 4.62% for the same period in 2008.  The average balance of borrowings was $97.6 million with an average rate of 3.96% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $87.2 million with an average rate of 4.75% for the same period in 2008. The increase in the average balance during the nine-months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily attributable to a $6.3 million average increase in borrowings from the Federal Reserve under their Term Auction Facility program as well as a $2.9 million average increase in FHLB advances.  The decrease in rate was attributable to a decrease in market rates.

PROVISION 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 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 1.47% at September 30, 2009 compared to 1.36% at December 31, 2008.  Management believes that the allowance for credit losses was adequate and reflects known and inherent credit losses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, DNB made a $700,000 provision for credit losses in conjunction with a $14.2 million  increase in loans and a $6.5 million increase in non-performing loans.

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

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 and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 was $1.1 million and $3.2 million, compared to $903,000 and $3.5 million for the same periods in 2008.  The $157,000 increase during the three months ended September 30, 2009 was mainly attributable to a $246,000 increase in gains on sales of securities. Gains on sales of securities were $273,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to $27,000 for the same period in 2008. The $287,000 decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was mainly attributable to a $207,000 decrease in wealth management income and an $82,000 decrease in service charges on deposits.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense includes salaries and employee benefits, furniture and equipment, occupancy, professional and consulting fees as well as printing and supplies, marketing, FDIC insurance and other less significant expense items.  Non-interest expense for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 was $3.9 million and $12.4 million compared to $4.0 million and $12.5 million for the same periods in 2008.  During the three months ended September 30, 2009, salary and employee benefits decreased $203,000 due to a lower level of full time equivalent employees, coupled with lower benefit costs, furniture and equipment decreased $32,000 and advertising and marketing decreased $31,000. This was offset by an increase in other non-interest expense due mainly to an $119,000 increase in FDIC insurance expense due to increased FDIC insurance premiums. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 non-interest expense decreased $77,000 or .62%. This decrease was attributable to decreases of $720,000 in salary and employee benefits due to a lower level of full time equivalent employees, coupled with lower benefit costs, $127,000 in advertising and marketing, $106,000 in furniture and equipment and $55,000 in printing and supplies. This was offset by increases of $604,000 in FDIC insurance due mainly to a FDIC special assessment and increased FDIC insurance premiums, $186,000 in other non-interest expense, $98,000 in professional and consulting as well as $43,000 in occupancy. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, DNB’s non-interest expense to average assets ratio was 2.82% and 3.10%, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense (benefit) for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 was $184,000 and $222,000 compared to ($65,000) and $140,000 for the same periods in 2008. The effective tax rate for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 was 22.5% and 17.1% respectively, compared to (48.5%) and 11.9% for the same periods in 2008. 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 as well as other repossessed assets.

Non-performing assets, which totaled $13.8 million at September 30, 2009, increased $6.1 million when compared to December 31, 2008. The increase in non-performing assets is attributed largely to two commercial credits secured by land, totaling $3.4 million and nine residential mortgages amounting to $3.5 million. The following table sets forth DNB's asset quality and allowance coverage ratios at the dates indicated:

Impaired loans are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans. At December 31, 2008 the average recorded investment is higher than the total recorded investment in the table below due primarily to the transfer of loans to OREO totaling approximately $5.0 million during 2008, the majority being moved during the fourth quarter.

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 $79.3 million at September 30, 2009.  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 $108.1 million.  Management believes that DNB has adequate resources to meet its short-term and long-term funding requirements.

At September 30, 2009, DNB had $50.4 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 September 30, 2009 totaled $78.4 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.

The Corporation and the Bank have each met the definition of “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes on September 30, 2009.  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

DNB Financial Corp. (the “Corporation”), may from time to time make written or oral “forward-looking statements,” including statements contained in the Corporation’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the exhibits hereto and thereto), in its reports to shareholders and in other communications by the Corporation, which are made in good faith by the Corporation pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
 
These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to the Corporation’s beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions, that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and are subject to change based on various factors (some of which are beyond the Corporation’s control).  The words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  The following factors, among others, could cause the Corporation’s financial performance to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Corporation conducts operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the timely development of and acceptance of new products and services of the Corporation and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors’ products and services; the willingness of users to substitute competitors’ products and services for the Corporation’s products and services; the success of the Corporation in gaining regulatory approval of its products and services, when required; the impact of changes in laws and regulations applicable to financial institutions (including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance); technological changes; acquisitions; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; the nature, extent, and timing of governmental actions and reforms, including the rules of participation for the Trouble Asset Relief Program voluntary Capital Purchase Program under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, which may be changed unilaterally and retroactively by legislative or regulatory actions; and the success of the Corporation at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.
 
 
 
29

 
The Corporation cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive.  Readers are also cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date of this report, even if subsequently made available by the Corporation on its website or otherwise.  The Corporation does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Corporation to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report.

For a complete discussion of the assumptions, risks and uncertainties related to our business, you are encouraged to review our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Form 10-Q, as well as any changes in risk factors that we may identify in our quarterly or other reports filed with the SEC.

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 policy ranges require action by management. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, 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 September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, was within DNB's negative 25% guideline.

ITEM 4T- 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 September 30, 2009, 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 fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, DNB’s internal control over financial reporting.
