FORM 10-K

Forward-Looking Statements

DNB  Financial  Corporation  (the  ‘‘Corporation,’’  ‘‘Registrant’’  or  ‘‘DNB’’),  may  from  time  to  time
make written or oral ‘‘forward-looking statements,’’ including statements contained in DNB’s filings with
the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (including  this  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  and  the  exhibits
hereto and thereto), in its reports to stockholders and in other communications by DNB, which are made
in good faith by DNB pursuant to the ‘‘safe harbor’’ provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

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,’’  ‘‘will,’’  ‘‘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  or  investment  transactions;  including  the  ability  to  consummate  and  integrate  any  such
opportunities that are identified; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; the nature, extent, and
timing  of  governmental  actions  and  reforms,  including  the  rules  of  participation  for  the  Small  Business
Lending  Fund  (SBLF),  the  implementation  of  Basel  III,  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.

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 Form 10-K, 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 Form 10-K.

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-K,
as well as any changes in risk factors that we may identify in our quarterly or other reports filed with the
SEC.

Business

Part I

General Description of Registrant’s Business and Its Development

DNB Financial Corporation (the ‘‘Registrant’’ or ‘‘DNB’’), a Pennsylvania business corporation, is a
bank holding company registered with and supervised by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (Federal Reserve Board). The Registrant was incorporated on October 28, 1982 and commenced
operations  on  July  1,  1983  upon  consummation  of  the  acquisition  of  all  of  the  outstanding  stock  of
Downingtown  National  Bank,  now  known  as  DNB  First,  National  Association  (the  ‘‘Bank’’).  Since
commencing  operations,  DNB’s  business  has  consisted  primarily  of  managing  and  supervising  the  Bank,
and its principal source of income has been derived from the Bank. At December 31, 2015, DNB had total
consolidated  assets,  total  liabilities  and  stockholders’  equity  of  $748.8  million,  $693.3  million,  and
$55.5 million, respectively.

The Bank was organized in 1860. The Bank is a national banking association that is a member of the
Federal Reserve System, the deposits of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(‘‘FDIC’’). The Bank is a full service commercial bank providing a wide range of services to individuals and
small to medium sized businesses in the southeastern Pennsylvania market area, including accepting time,
demand,  and  savings  deposits  and  making  secured  and  unsecured  commercial,  real  estate  and  consumer
loans. In addition, the Bank has twelve full service branches and a full-service wealth management group
‘‘DNB  First  Wealth  Management’’.  The  Bank’s  financial  subsidiary,  DNB  Financial
known  as 
Services,  Inc.,  (also  known  as  ‘‘DNB  Investments  &  Insurance’’)  is  a  Pennsylvania  licensed  insurance
agency,  which,  through  a  third  party  marketing  agreement  with  Cetera  Investment  Services,  LLC,  sells  a
broad variety of insurance and investment products. The Bank’s other subsidiaries are Downco, Inc. and
DN  Acquisition  Company,  Inc.  which  were  incorporated  in  December  1995  and  December  2008,
respectively,  for  the  purpose  of  acquiring  and  holding  Other  Real  Estate  Owned  acquired  through
foreclosure or deed in-lieu-of foreclosure, as  well as  Bank-occupied real estate.

The  Bank’s  headquarters  is  located  at  4  Brandywine  Avenue,  Downingtown,  Pennsylvania.  As  of
December 31, 2015, the Bank had total assets of $749.3 million, total deposits of $606.3 million and total
stockholders’  equity  of  $74.0  million.  The  Bank’s  business  is  not  seasonal  in  nature.  The  FDIC,  to  the
extent provided by law, insures its deposits. On December 31, 2015, the Bank had 118 full-time employees
and 11 part-time employees.

The Bank derives its income principally from interest charged on loans and, to a lesser extent, interest
earned on investments, fees received in connection with the origination of loans, wealth management and
other  services.  The  Bank’s  principal  expenses  are  interest  expense  on  deposits  and  borrowings  and
operating expenses. Funds for activities are provided principally by operating revenues, deposit growth and
the repayment of outstanding loans and  investments.

The  Bank  encounters  vigorous  competition  from  a  number  of  sources,  including  other  commercial
banks,  thrift  institutions,  other  financial  institutions  and  financial  intermediaries.  In  addition  to
commercial  banks,  Federal  and  state  savings  and  loan  associations,  savings  banks,  credit  unions  and
industrial savings banks actively compete in the Bank’s market area to provide a wide variety of banking
services. Mortgage banking firms, real estate investment trusts, finance companies, insurance companies,
leasing  companies  and  brokerage  companies,  financial  affiliates  of  industrial  companies  and  certain
government agencies provide additional competition for loans and for certain financial services. The Bank
also  competes  for  interest-bearing  funds  with  a  number  of  other  financial  intermediaries,  which  offer  a
diverse range of investment alternatives, including  brokerage firms and mutual fund companies.

Supervision and Regulation — Registrant

Federal Banking Laws

The Registrant is subject to a number of complex Federal banking laws, most notably the provisions of
the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (‘‘Bank Holding Company Act’’) and the Change in
Bank Control Act of 1978 (‘‘Change in Control Act’’), and to supervision by the Federal Reserve Board.

Bank Holding Company Act — Financial  Holding Companies

The Bank Holding Company Act requires a ‘‘company’’ (including the Registrant) to secure the prior
approval  of  the  Federal  Reserve  Board  before  it  owns  or  controls,  directly  or  indirectly,  more  than  five
percent (5%) of the voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any bank. It also prohibits acquisition
by  any  ‘‘company’’  (including  the  Registrant)  of  more  than  five  percent  (5%)  of  the  voting  shares  of,  or
interest in, or all or substantially all of the assets of, any bank located outside of the state in which a current
bank  subsidiary  is  located  unless  such  acquisition  is  specifically  authorized  by  laws  of  the  state  in  which
such bank is located. A ‘‘bank holding company’’ (including the Registrant) is prohibited from engaging in
or acquiring direct or indirect control of more than five percent (5%) of the voting shares of any company
engaged in non-banking activities unless the Federal Reserve Board, by order or regulation, has found such
activities to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident
thereto. In making this determination, the Federal Reserve Board considers whether the performance of
these  activities  by  a  bank  holding  company  would  offer  benefits  to  the  public  that  outweigh  possible
adverse  effects.  Applications  under  the  Bank  Holding  Company  Act  and  the  Change  in  Control  Act  are
subject to review, based upon the record of compliance of the applicant with the Community Reinvestment
Act of 1977 (‘‘CRA’’). See further discussion below.

The Registrant is required to file an annual report with the Federal Reserve Board and any additional
information that the Federal Reserve Board may require pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act. The
Federal  Reserve  Board  may  also  make  examinations  of  the  Registrant  and  any  or  all  of  its  subsidiaries.
Further, under Section 106 of the 1970 amendments to the Bank Holding Company Act and the Federal
Reserve Board’s regulations, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in
certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit or provision of credit or provision of
any property or services. The so-called ‘‘anti-tie-in’’ provisions state generally that a bank may not extend
credit, lease, sell property or furnish any service to a customer on the condition that the customer provide
additional credit or service to the bank, to its bank holding company or to any other subsidiary of its bank
holding  company  or  on  the  condition  that  the  customer  not  obtain  other  credit  or  service  from  a
competitor of the bank, its bank holding company or any subsidiary of its  bank  holding  company.

Permitted  Non-Banking  Activities.  The  Federal  Reserve  Board  permits  bank  holding  companies  to
engage in non-banking activities so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a
proper incident thereto. A number of activities are authorized by Federal Reserve Board regulation, while
other  activities  require  prior  Federal  Reserve  Board  approval.  The  types  of  permissible  activities  are
subject to change by the Federal Reserve Board. Revisions to the Bank Holding Company Act contained in
the  Gramm-Leach  Bliley  Act  of  1999  permit  certain  eligible  bank  holding  companies  to  qualify  as
‘‘financial  holding  companies’’  and  thereupon  engage  in  a  wider  variety  of  financial  services  such  as
securities  and  insurance  activities,  and  subject  such  companies  to  increased  competition  from  a  wider
variety  of non-banking competitors as well as banks.

Gramm-Leach Bliley Act of 1999 (‘‘GLB’’). This law repealed certain restrictions on bank and securities
firm  affiliations,  and  allows  bank  holding  companies  to  elect  to  be  treated  as  a  ‘‘financial  holding
company’’ that can engage in approved ‘‘financial activities,’’ including insurance, securities underwriting
and merchant banking. Banks without holding companies can engage in many of these financial activities
through a ‘‘financial subsidiary.’’ The law also mandates functional regulation of bank securities activities.
Banks’ exemption from broker-dealer regulation is limited to, for example, trust, safekeeping, custodian,

3

shareholder  and  employee  benefit  plans,  sweep  accounts,  private  placements  (under  certain  conditions),
self-directed  IRAs,  third  party  networking  arrangements  to  offer  brokerage  services  to  bank  customers,
and  the  like.  It  also  requires  banks  that  advise  mutual  funds  to  register  as  investment  advisers.  The
legislation  provides  for  state  regulation  of  insurance,  subject  to  certain  specified  state  preemption
standards. It establishes which insurance products banks and bank subsidiaries may provide as principal or
underwriter,  and  prohibits  bank  underwriting  of  title  insurance,  but  also  preempts  state  laws  interfering
with affiliations. GLB prohibits approval of new de novo thrift charter applications by commercial entities
and  limits  sales  of  existing  so-called  ‘‘unitary’’  thrifts  to  commercial  entities.  The  law  bars  banks,  savings
and loans, credit unions, securities firms and insurance companies, as well as other ‘‘financial institutions,’’
from disclosing customer account numbers or access codes to unaffiliated third parties for telemarketing or
other  direct  marketing  purposes,  and  enables  customers  of  financial  institutions  to  ‘‘opt  out’’  of  having
their personal financial information shared with unaffiliated third parties, subject to exceptions related to
the  processing  of  customer  transactions  and  joint  financial  services  marketing  arrangements  with  third
parties, as long as the institution discloses the activity to its customers and requires the third party to keep
the information confidential. It requires policies on privacy and disclosure of information to be disclosed
annually,  requires  federal  regulators  to  adopt  comprehensive  regulations  for  ensuring  the  security  and
confidentiality of consumers’ personal information, and allows state laws to give consumers greater privacy
protections. The GLB has increased the competition the Bank faces from a wider variety of non-banking
competitors as well as banks.

Change  in Bank Control Act

Under the Change in Control Act, no person, acting directly or indirectly or through or in concert with
one  or  more  other  persons,  may  acquire  ‘‘control’’  of  any  Federally  insured  depository  institution  unless
the  appropriate  Federal  banking  agency  has  been  given  60  days  prior  written  notice  of  the  proposed
acquisition and within that period has not issued a notice disapproving of the proposed acquisition or has
issued written notice of its intent not to disapprove the action. The period for the agency’s disapproval may
be extended by the agency. Upon receiving such notice, the Federal agency is required to provide a copy to
the  appropriate  state  regulatory  agency,  if  the  institution  of  which  control  is  to  be  acquired  is  state
chartered, and the Federal agency is obligated to give due consideration to the views and recommendations
of  the  state  agency.  Upon  receiving  a  notice,  the  Federal  agency  is  also  required  to  conduct  an
investigation  of  each  person  involved  in  the  proposed  acquisition.  Notice  of  such  proposal  is  to  be
published and public comment solicited thereon. A proposal may be disapproved by the Federal agency if
the proposal would have anticompetitive effects, if the proposal would jeopardize the financial stability of
the institution to be acquired or prejudice the interests of its depositors, if the competence, experience or
integrity of any acquiring person or proposed management personnel indicates that it would not be in the
interest of depositors or the public to permit such person to control the institution, if any acquiring person
fails  to  furnish  the  Federal  agency  with  all  information  required  by  the  agency,  or  if  the  Federal  agency
determines that the proposed transaction would result in an adverse effect on a deposit insurance fund. In
addition, the Change in Control Act requires that, whenever any Federally insured depository institution
makes  a  loan  or  loans  secured,  or  to  be  secured,  by  25%  or  more  of  the  outstanding  voting  stock  of  a
Federally insured depository institution, the president or chief executive officer of the lending bank must
promptly report such fact to the appropriate Federal banking agency regulating the institution whose stock
secures the loan or loans.

Participation  in  U.S.  Treasury  Small  Business  Lending  Fund  Program.  On  August  4,  2011,  DNB
entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Secretary of the Treasury, pursuant to which DNB
issued  and  sold  to  the  Treasury  13,000  shares  of  its  Non-Cumulative  Perpetual  Preferred  Stock,
Series  2011A  (‘‘Series  2011A  Preferred  Stock’’),  having  a  liquidation  preference  of  $1,000  per  share  for
aggregate  proceeds  of  $13.0  million.  The  Securities  Purchase  Agreement  was  entered  into,  and  the
Series 2011A Preferred Stock was issued, pursuant to the Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund program
(‘‘SBLF’’),  a  $30  billion  fund  established  under  the  Small  Business  Jobs  Act  of  2010,  that  encourages

4

lending  to  small  businesses  by  providing  capital  to  qualified  community  banks  with  assets  of  less  than
$10 billion. The securities sold in this transaction were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the
Securities  Act  of  1933,  as  amended,  as  a  transaction  by  DNB  not  involving  a  public  offering.  Of  the
$13.0  million  in  aggregate  proceeds,  $11,879,000  was  used  on  August  4,  2011  to  repurchase  all  shares
issued  and  sold  in  2009  to  the  United  States  Department  of  the  Treasury  in  connection  with  the  U.  S.
Treasury  Capital  Purchase  Program  (‘‘CPP  Shares’’)  ($11,750,000  was  paid  in  principal  and  $128,900  in
dividends related to the CPP Shares) held by the Treasury as described above. As of December 31, 2015,
DNB had redeemed all of the Series 2011A Preferred  Stock issued to the U.S. Treasury.

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The federal government is considering
a  variety  of  reforms  related  to  banking  and  the  financial  industry  including,  without  limitation,  the
Dodd-Frank  Act.  The  Dodd-Frank  Act  is  intended  to  promote  financial  stability  in  the  U.S.,  reduce  the
risk  of  bailouts  and  protect  against  abusive  financial  services  practices  by  improving  accountability  and
transparency in the financial system and ending ‘‘too big to fail’’ institutions. It is the broadest overhaul of
the  U.S.  financial  system  since  the  Great  Depression,  and  much  of  its  impact  will  be  determined  by  the
scope  and  substance  of  many  regulations  that  will  need  to  be  adopted  by  various  regulatory  agencies  to
implement its provisions. For these reasons, the overall impact on DNB and its subsidiaries is unknown at
this  time.

The  Dodd-Frank  Act  delegates  to  various  federal  agencies  the  task  of  implementing  its  many
provisions through regulation. Hundreds of new federal regulations, studies and reports addressing all of
the  major  areas  of  the  new  law,  including  the  regulation  of  banks  and  their  holding  companies,  will  be
required,  ensuring  that  federal  rules  and  policies  in  this  area  will  be  further  developing  for  months  and
years to come. Based on the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and anticipated implementing regulations,
it  is  highly  likely  that  banks  and  thrifts  as  well  as  their  holding  companies  will  be  subject  to  significantly
increased regulation and compliance obligations.

The Dodd-Frank Act could require us to make material expenditures, in particular personnel training
costs and additional compliance expenses, or otherwise adversely affect our business or financial results. It
could  also  require  us  to  change  certain  of  our  business  practices,  adversely  affect  our  ability  to  pursue
business  opportunities  we  might  otherwise  consider  engaging  in,  cause  business  disruptions  and/or  have
other  impacts  that  are  as-of-yet  unknown  to  DNB  and  the  Bank.  Failure  to  comply  with  these  laws  or
regulations,  even  if  inadvertent,  could  result  in  negative  publicity,  fines  or  additional  licensing  expenses,
any  of  which  could  have  an  adverse  effect  on  our  cash  flow  and  results  of  operations.  For  example,  a
provision  of  the  Dodd-Frank  Act  is  intended  to  preclude  bank  holding  companies  from  treating  future
trust  preferred  securities  issuances  as  Tier  1  capital  for  regulatory  capital  adequacy  purposes.  This
provision  may  narrow  the  number  of  possible  capital  raising  opportunities  DNB  and  other  bank  holding
companies might have in the future. As another example, the new law establishes the Consumer Financial
Protection  Bureau,  which  has  been  given  substantive  rule-making  authority  under  most  of  the  consumer
protection  regulations  affecting  the  Bank  and  its  customers.  The  Bureau  and  new  rules  it  will  issue  may
materially  affect  the  methods  and  costs  of  compliance  by  the  Bank  in  connection  with  future  consumer
related transactions.

Pennsylvania Banking Laws

Under the Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965, as amended (‘‘PA Code’’), the Registrant is permitted
to control an unlimited number of banks, subject to prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board as more
fully  described  above.  The  PA  Code  authorizes  reciprocal  interstate  banking  without  any  geographic
limitation.  Reciprocity  between  states  exists  when  a  foreign  state’s  law  authorizes  Pennsylvania  bank
holding  companies  to  acquire  banks  or  bank  holding  companies  located  in  that  state  on  terms  and
conditions substantially no more restrictive than those applicable to such an acquisition by a bank holding
company  located  in  that  state.  Interstate  ownership  of  banks  in  Pennsylvania  with  banks  in  Delaware,
Maryland,  New  Jersey,  Ohio,  New  York  and  other  states  is  currently  authorized.  Some  state  laws  still

5

restrict de novo formations of branches in other states, but restrictions on interstate de novo banking have
been  relaxed  by  the  Dodd-Frank  Act.  Pennsylvania  law  also  provides  Pennsylvania  state  chartered
institutions elective parity with the power of national banks, federal thrifts, and state-chartered institutions
in other states as authorized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (‘‘Competing Institutions’’). In
some cases, this may give state chartered institutions broader powers than national banks such as the Bank,
and may increase competition the Bank  faces  from other banking institutions.

Supervision and Regulation — Bank

The  operations  of  the  Bank  are  subject  to  Federal  and  State  statutes  applicable  to  banks  chartered
under  the  banking  laws  of  the  United  States,  to  members  of  the  Federal  Reserve  System  and  to  banks
whose deposits are insured by the FDIC. Bank operations are also subject to regulations of the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency (‘‘OCC’’),  the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC.

The  primary  supervisory  authority  of  the  Bank  is  the  OCC,  who  regularly  examines  the  Bank.  The
OCC  has  the  authority  to  prevent  a  national  bank  from  engaging  in  an  unsafe  or  unsound  practice  in
conducting its business.

Federal  and  state  banking  laws  and  regulations  govern,  among  other  things,  the  scope  of  a  bank’s
business,  the  investments  a  bank  may  make,  the  reserves  against  deposits  a  bank  must  maintain,  loans  a
bank makes and collateral it takes, the activities of a bank with respect to mergers and consolidations and
the  establishment  of  branches.  All  nationally  and  state-chartered  banks  in  Pennsylvania  are  permitted  to
maintain branch offices in any county of the state. National bank branches may be established only after
approval by the OCC. It is the general policy of the OCC to approve applications to establish and operate
domestic  branches,  including  ATMs  and  other  automated  devices  that  take  deposits,  provided  that
approval would not violate applicable Federal or state laws regarding the establishment of such branches.
The OCC reserves the right to deny an application or grant approval subject to conditions if (1) there are
significant supervisory concerns with respect to the applicant or affiliated organizations, (2) in accordance
with CRA, the applicant’s record of helping meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low
and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound operation, is less than satisfactory, or
(3) any financial or other business arrangement, direct or indirect, involving the proposed branch or device
and bank ‘‘insiders’’ (directors, officers, employees and 10% or greater shareholders) involves terms and
conditions  more  favorable  to  the  insiders  than  would  be  available  in  a  comparable  transaction  with
unrelated parties.

The Bank, as a subsidiary of a bank holding company, is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the
Federal  Reserve  Act  on  any  extensions  of  credit  to  the  bank  holding  company  or  its  subsidiaries,  on
investments in the stock or other securities of the bank holding company or its subsidiaries and on taking
such  stock  or  securities  as  collateral  for  loans.  The  Federal  Reserve  Act  and  Federal  Reserve  Board
regulations also place certain limitations and reporting requirements on extensions of credit by a bank to
principal  shareholders  of  its  parent  holding  company,  among  others,  and  to  related  interests  of  such
principal shareholders. In addition, such legislation and regulations may affect the terms upon which any
person becoming a principal shareholder of a holding company may obtain credit from banks with which
the subsidiary bank maintains a correspondent relationship.

Capital Adequacy

Federal banking laws impose on banks certain minimum requirements for capital adequacy. Federal
banking agencies have issued certain ‘‘risk-based capital’’ guidelines, and certain ‘‘leverage’’ requirements
on member banks such as the Bank. Banking regulators have authority to require higher minimum capital
ratios for an individual bank or bank holding company in view of its circumstances.

New  Capital  Rules.  On  July  2,  2013,  the  Federal  Reserve  approved  final  rules  that  substantially
amended  the  regulatory  risk-based  capital  rules  applicable  to  the  Corporation  and  the  Bank.  The  FDIC
and  the  OCC  subsequently  approved  these  rules.  The  final  rules  were  adopted  following  the  issuance  of
proposed  rules  by  the  Federal  Reserve  in  June  2012,  and  implement  the  ‘‘Basel  III’’  regulatory  capital
reforms  and  changes  required  by  the  Dodd-Frank  Act.  ‘‘Basel  III’’  refers  to  two  consultative  documents
released  by  the  Basel  Committee  on  Banking  Supervision  in  December  2009,  the  rules  text  released  in
December  2010,  and  loss  absorbency  rules  issued  in  January  2011,  which  include  significant  changes  to
bank capital, leverage and liquidity requirements.

The  rules  include  new  risk-based  capital  and  leverage  ratios,  which  will  be  phased  in  from  2015  to
2019,  and  will  refine  the  definition  of  what  constitutes  ‘‘capital’’  for  purposes  of  calculating  those  ratios.
The new minimum capital level requirements applicable to the Corporation and the Bank under the final
rules are: (i) a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6% (increased
from 4%); (iii) a total capital ratio of 8% (unchanged from current rules); and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio
of  4%  for  all  institutions.  The  final  rules  also  establish  a  ‘‘capital  conservation  buffer’’  above  the  new
regulatory  minimum  capital  requirements,  which  must  consist  entirely  of  common  equity  Tier  1  capital.
The capital conservation buffer will be phased-in over four years beginning on January 1, 2016, as follows:
the maximum buffer will be 0.625% of risk-weighted assets for 2016, 1.25% for 2017, 1.875% for 2018, and
2.5%  for  2019  and  thereafter.  This  will  result  in  the  following  minimum  ratios  beginning  in  2019:  (i)  a
common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.0%, (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%, and (iii) a total capital ratio
of  10.5%.  Under  the  final  rules,  institutions  are  subject  to  limitations  on  paying  dividends,  engaging  in
share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses if its capital level falls below the buffer amount. These
limitations  establish  a  maximum  percentage  of  eligible  retained  income  that  could  be  utilized  for  such
actions.

The final rules implement revisions and clarifications consistent with Basel III regarding the various
components  of  Tier  1  capital,  including  common  equity,  unrealized  gains  and  losses,  as  well  as  certain
instruments  that  will  no  longer  qualify  as  Tier  1  capital,  some  of  which  will  be  phased  out  over  time.
However,  the  final  rules  provide  that  small  depository  institution  holding  companies  with  less  than
$15  billion  in  total  assets  as  of  December  31,  2009  (which  includes  the  Corporation)  will  be  able  to
permanently include non-qualifying instruments that were issued and included in Tier 1 or Tier 2 capital
prior to May 19, 2010 in additional Tier 1 or Tier 2 capital until they redeem such instruments or until the
instruments mature.

The final rules also contain revisions to the prompt corrective action framework, which is designed to
place restrictions on insured depository institutions, including the Bank, if their capital levels begin to show
signs  of  weakness.  These  revisions  took  effect  January  1,  2015.  Under  the  prompt  corrective  action
requirements,  which  are  designed  to  complement  the  capital  conservation  buffer,  insured  depository
institutions are required to meet the following increased capital level requirements in order to qualify as
‘‘well capitalized:’’ (i) a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8%
(increased  from  6%);  (iii)  a  total  capital  ratio  of  10%  (unchanged  from  current  rules);  and  (iv)  a  Tier  1
leverage  ratio of 5% (increased from  4%).

The final rules set forth certain changes for the calculation of risk-weighted assets, which have been
required  to  utilize  since  January  1,  2015.  The  standardized  approach  final  rule  utilizes  an  increased
number of credit risk exposure categories and risk weights, and also addresses: (i) an alternative standard
of  creditworthiness  consistent  with  Section  939A  of  the  Dodd-Frank  Act;  (ii)  revisions  to  recognition  of

7

credit  risk  mitigation;  (iii)  rules  for  risk  weighting  of  equity  exposures  and  past  due  loans;  (iv)  revised
capital  treatment  for  derivatives  and  repo-style  transactions;  and  (v)  disclosure  requirements  for  top-tier
banking organizations with $50 billion or more in total assets that are not subject to the ‘‘advance approach
rules’’  that  apply  to  banks  with  greater  than  $250  billion  in  consolidated  assets.  Based  on  our  current
capital composition and levels, we believe that  we are  in compliance  with the  requirements.

Minimum Capital Ratios. The risk-based guidelines require all banks to maintain two ‘‘risk-weighted
assets’’ ratios. The first is a minimum ratio of total capital (‘‘Tier 1’’ and ‘‘Tier 2’’ capital) to risk-weighted
assets equal to 8.00%; the second is a minimum ratio of ‘‘Tier 1’’ capital to risk-weighted assets equal to
4.00%.  Assets  are  assigned  to  five  risk  categories,  with  higher  levels  of  capital  being  required  for  the
categories perceived as representing greater risk. In making the calculation, certain intangible assets must
be  deducted  from  the  capital  base.  The  risk-based  capital  rules  are  designed  to  make  regulatory  capital
requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies and
to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets.

The  risk-based  capital  rules  also  account  for  interest  rate  risk.  Institutions  with  interest  rate  risk
exposure above a normal level would be required to hold extra capital in proportion to that risk. A bank’s
exposure to declines in the economic value of its capital due to changes in interest rates is a factor that the
banking agencies will consider in evaluating a bank’s capital adequacy. The rule does not codify an explicit
minimum  capital  charge  for  interest  rate  risk.  The  Bank  currently  monitors  and  manages  its  assets  and
liabilities for interest rate risk, and management believes that the interest rate risk rules which have been
implemented and proposed will not materially adversely affect our operations.

The ‘‘leverage’’ ratio rules require banks which are rated the highest in the composite areas of capital,
asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to market risk to maintain a ratio of ‘‘Tier 1’’
capital  to  ‘‘adjusted  total  assets’’  (equal  to  the  bank’s  average  total  assets  as  stated  in  its  most  recent
quarterly  Call  Report  filed  with  its  primary  federal  banking  regulator,  minus  end-of-quarter  intangible
assets  that  are  deducted  from  Tier  1  capital)  of  not  less  than  3.00%.  For  banks  which  are  not  the  most
highly rated, the minimum ‘‘leverage’’ ratio will range from 4.00% to 5.00%, or higher at the discretion of
the bank’s primary federal regulator, and is required to be at a level commensurate with the nature of the
level  of  risk of the bank’s condition and  activities.

For  purposes  of  the  capital  requirements,  ‘‘Tier  1’’  or  ‘‘core’’  capital  is  defined  to  include  common
stockholders’ equity and certain non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus. ‘‘Tier 2’’ or
‘‘qualifying supplementary’’ capital is defined to include a bank’s allowance for loan and lease losses up to
1.25%  of  risk-weighted  assets,  plus  certain  types  of  preferred  stock  and  related  surplus,  certain  ‘‘hybrid
capital instruments’’ and certain term subordinated  debt  instruments.

Prompt Corrective Action. Federal banking law mandates certain ‘‘prompt corrective actions,’’ which
Federal  banking  agencies  are  required  to  take,  and  certain  actions  which  they  have  discretion  to  take,
based upon the capital category into which a Federally regulated depository institution falls. Regulations
have been adopted by the Federal bank regulatory agencies setting forth detailed procedures and criteria
for implementing prompt corrective action in the case of any institution that is not adequately capitalized.
Under  the  rules,  an  institution  will  be  deemed  to  be  ‘‘adequately  capitalized’’  or  better  if  it  exceeds  the
minimum Federal regulatory capital requirements. However, it will be deemed ‘‘undercapitalized’’ if it fails
to  meet  the  minimum  capital  requirements,  ‘‘significantly  undercapitalized’’  if  it  has  a  total  risk-based
capital ratio that is less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3.0%, or a leverage ratio
that  is  less  than  3.0%,  and  ‘‘critically  undercapitalized’’  if  the  institution  has  a  ratio  of  tangible  equity  to
total  assets  that  is  equal  to  or  less  than  2.0%.  The  rules  require  an  undercapitalized  institution  to  file  a
written capital restoration plan, along with a performance guaranty by its holding company or a third party.
In  addition,  an  undercapitalized  institution  becomes  subject  to  certain  automatic  restrictions  including  a
prohibition on the payment of dividends, a limitation on asset growth and expansion, and in certain cases, a
limitation  on  the  payment  of  bonuses  or  raises  to  senior  executive  officers,  and  a  prohibition  on  the

8

payment  of  certain  ‘‘management  fees’’  to  any  ‘‘controlling  person’’.  Institutions  that  are  classified  as
undercapitalized  are  also  subject  to  certain  additional  supervisory  actions,  including  increased  reporting
burdens and regulatory monitoring, a limitation on the institution’s ability to make acquisitions, open new
branch  offices,  or  engage  in  new  lines  of  business,  obligations  to  raise  additional  capital,  restrictions  on
transactions with affiliates, and restrictions on interest rates paid by the institution on deposits. In certain
cases, bank regulatory agencies may require replacement of senior executive officers or directors, or sale of
the  institution  to  a  willing  purchaser.  If  an  institution  is  deemed  to  be  ‘‘critically  undercapitalized’’  and
continues in that category for four quarters, the statute requires, with certain narrowly limited exceptions,
that the institution be placed in receivership.

DNB’s  management  believes  that  the  Bank  is  ‘‘well  capitalized’’  for  regulatory  capital  purposes.
Please see the table detailing the Bank’s compliance with minimum capital ratios, in Note 16 (‘‘Regulatory
Matters’’) to DNB’s audited financial  statements in  this  Form  10-K.

Under  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Act,  the  OCC  possesses  the  power  to  prohibit  institutions
regulated  by  it,  such  as  the  Bank,  from  engaging  in  any  activity  that  would  be  an  unsafe  and  unsound
banking  practice  and  in  violation  of  the  law.  Moreover,  Federal  law  enactments  have  expanded  the
circumstances  under  which  officers  or  directors  of  a  bank  may  be  removed  by  the  institution’s  Federal
supervisory  agency;  unvested  and  further  regulated  lending  by  a  bank  to  its  executive  officers,  directors,
principal  shareholders  or  related  interests  thereof;  and  unvested  management  personnel  of  a  bank  from
serving  as  directors  or  in  other  management  positions  with  certain  depository  institutions  whose  assets
exceed  a  specified  amount  or  which  have  an  office  within  a  specified  geographic  area;  and  unvested
management  personnel  from  borrowing  from  another  institution  that  has  a  correspondent  relationship
with their bank.

Interstate  Banking.  Federal  law  permits  interstate  bank  mergers  and  acquisitions.  Limited  branch
purchases  are  still  subject  to  state  laws.  Pennsylvania  law  permits  out-of-state  banking  institutions  to
establish  branches  in  Pennsylvania  with  the  approval  of  the  Pennsylvania  Department  of  Banking  and
Securities,  provided  the  law  of  the  state  where  the  banking  institution  is  located  would  permit  a
Pennsylvania  banking  institution  to  establish  and  maintain  a  branch  in  that  state  on  substantially  similar
terms  and  conditions.  It  also  permits  Pennsylvania  banking  institutions  to  maintain  branches  in  other
states. The Dodd-Frank Act created a more permissive interstate branching regime by permitting banks to
establish  branches  de  novo  in  any  state  if  a  bank  chartered  by  such  state  would  have  been  permitted  to
establish  the  branch.  Bank  management  anticipates  that  interstate  banking  will  continue  to  increase
competitive pressures in the Bank’s market by permitting entry of additional competitors, but management
is of the opinion that this will not have a material impact upon the anticipated results of operations of the
Bank.

Bank Secrecy Act and OFAC. Under the Bank Secrecy Act (‘‘BSA’’), the Bank is required to report to
the Internal Revenue Service, currency transactions of more than $10,000 or multiple transactions of which
the  Bank  is  aware  in  any  one  day  that  aggregate  in  excess  of  $10,000.  Civil  and  criminal  penalties  are
provided under the BSA for failure to file a required report, for failure to supply information required by
the  BSA  or  for  filing  a  false  or  fraudulent  report.  The  Department  of  the  Treasury’s  Office  of  Foreign
Asset Control (‘‘OFAC’’) administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions against targeted foreign
countries,  terrorism-sponsoring  jurisdictions  and  organizations,  and  international  narcotics  traffickers
based  on  U.S.  foreign  policy  and  national  security  goals.  OFAC  acts  under  presidential  wartime  and
national emergency powers and authority granted by specific legislation to impose controls on transactions
and freeze foreign assets under U.S. jurisdiction. Acting under authority delegated from the Secretary of
the Treasury, OFAC promulgates, develops, and administers the sanctions under its statutes and executive
orders. OFAC requirements are separate and distinct from the BSA, but both OFAC requirements and the
BSA  share  a  common  national  security  goal.  Because  institutions  and  regulators  view  compliance  with
OFAC sanctions as related to BSA compliance obligations, supervisory examination for OFAC compliance
is  typically  connected  to  examination  of  an  institution’s  BSA  compliance.  Examiners  focus  on  a  banking

9

organization’s  compliance  processes  and  evaluate  the  sufficiency  of  a  banking  organization’s
implementation of policies, procedures  and systems to ensure compliance  with OFAC  regulations.

USA PATRIOT Act. The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required
to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (together with its implementing regulations, the ‘‘Patriot
Act’’),  designed  to  deny  terrorists  and  others  the  ability  to  obtain  access  to  the  United  States  financial
system,  has  significant  implications  for  banks  and  other  financial  institutions.  It  required  DNB  and  its
subsidiary  to  implement  new  policies  and  procedures  or  amend  existing  policies  and  procedures  with
respect to, anti-money laundering, compliance, suspicious activity and currency transaction reporting and
due diligence on customers, as well as related matters. The Patriot Act permits and in some cases requires
information sharing for counter-terrorist purposes between federal law enforcement agencies and financial
institutions, as well as among financial institutions, and it requires federal banking agencies to evaluate the
effectiveness of an institution in combating money laundering activities, both in ongoing examinations and
in connection with applications for regulatory approval.

FDIC Insurance and Assessments. The Bank’s deposits are insured to applicable limits by the FDIC.
Under  the  Dodd-Frank  Act,  the  maximum  deposit  insurance  amount  was  permanently  increased  from
$100,000 to $250,000.

The FDIC has adopted a risk-based premium system that provides for quarterly assessments based on
an insured institution’s ranking in one of four risk categories based on their examination ratings and capital
ratios. Within its risk category, an institution is assigned an initial base assessment which is then adjusted to
determine its final assessment rate based on its level of brokered deposits, secured liabilities and unsecured
debt.

The Dodd-Frank Act required the FDIC to take such steps as necessary to increase the reserve ratio
of  the  Deposit  Insurance  Fund  from  1.15%  to  1.35%  of  insured  deposits  by  2020.  In  setting  the
assessments, the FDIC is required to offset the effect of the higher reserve ratio against insured depository
institutions with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion. The Dodd-Frank Act also broadened the
base for FDIC insurance assessments so that assessments will be based on the average consolidated total
assets less average tangible equity capital of a financial institution rather than on its insured deposits. The
FDIC  has  adopted  a  restoration  plan  to  increase  the  reserve  ratio  to  1.15%  by  September  30,  2020  with
additional rulemaking scheduled regarding the method to be used to achieve a 1.35% reserve ratio by that
date  and offset the effect on institutions with less than $10 billion  in assets.

Pursuant to these requirements, the FDIC adopted new assessment regulations effective April 1, 2011
that  redefined  the  assessment  base  as  average  consolidated  assets  less  average  tangible  equity.  Insured
banks with more than $1.0 billion in assets must calculate quarterly average assets based on daily balances
while smaller banks and newly chartered banks may use weekly averages. Average assets would be reduced
by goodwill and other intangibles. Average tangible equity equals Tier 1 capital. For institutions with more
than $1.0 billion in assets, average tangible equity is calculated on a weekly basis while smaller institutions
may use the quarter-end balance. The base assessment rate for insured institutions in Risk Category I will
range between 5 to 9 basis points and for institutions in Risk Categories II, III, and IV will be 14, 23 and 35
basis  points.  An  institution’s  assessment  rate  will  be  reduced  based  on  the  amount  of  its  outstanding
unsecured long-term debt and for institutions in Risk Categories II, III and IV may be increased based on
their brokered deposits.

In addition to deposit insurance assessments, banks are subject to assessments to pay the interest on
Financing  Corporation  bonds.  The  Financing  Corporation  was  created  by  Congress  to  issue  bonds  to
finance  the  resolution  of  failed  thrift  institutions.  The  FDIC  sets  the  Financing  Corporation  assessment
rate  every  quarter.  The  current  annual  Financing  Corporation  assessment  rate  is  58  basis  points  on  the
deposit  insurance  assessment  base,  as  defined  above,  which  we  anticipate  will  result  in  an  aggregate
estimated FICO assessment payment  by the Bank of  $39,000 in 2016.

10

Other Laws and Regulations. The Bank is subject to a variety of consumer protection laws, including
the  Truth  in  Lending  Act,  the  Truth  in  Savings  Act  adopted  as  part  of  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation  Improvement  Act  of  1991  (‘‘FDICIA’’),  the  Equal  Credit  Opportunity  Act,  the  Home
Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act
and the regulations adopted thereunder. In the aggregate, compliance with these consumer protection laws
and regulations involves substantial expense  and administrative time on the  part of the  Bank and DNB.

Legislation and Regulatory Changes. From time to time, legislation is enacted which has the effect of
increasing  the  cost  of  doing  business,  limiting  or  expanding  permissible  activities  and/or  affecting  the
competitive  balance  between  banks  and  other  financial  institutions.  Proposals  to  change  the  laws  and
regulations  governing  the  operations  and  taxation  of  banks,  bank  holding  companies  and  other  financial
institutions are frequently made in Congress, and before various bank regulatory agencies. No prediction
can be made as to the likelihood of any major changes or the impact such changes might have on DNB and
its  subsidiary Bank.

Effect of Government Monetary Policies. The earnings of DNB are and will be affected by domestic
economic  conditions  and  the  monetary  and  fiscal  policies  of  the  United  States  Government  and  its
agencies  (particularly  the  Federal  Reserve  Board).  The  monetary  policies  of  the  Federal  Reserve  Board
have  had  and  will  likely  continue  to  have,  an  important  impact  on  the  operating  results  of  commercial
banks  through  its  power  to  implement  national  monetary  policy  in  order,  among  other  things,  to  curb
inflation  or  combat  a  recession.  The  Federal  Reserve  Board  has  a  major  effect  upon  the  levels  of  bank
loans,  investments  and  deposits  through  its  open  market  operations  in  United  States  Government
securities  and  through  its  regulation  of,  among  other  things,  the  discount  rate  on  borrowing  of  member
banks and the reserve requirements against member bank deposits. It is not possible to predict the nature
and impact of future changes  in monetary and fiscal  policies.

All of DNB’s revenues are attributable to customers located in the United States, and primarily from
customers located in Southeastern Pennsylvania. All of Registrant’s assets are located in the United States
and  in  Southeastern  Pennsylvania.  Registrant  has  no  activities  in  foreign  countries  and  hence  no  risks
attendant to foreign operations.

DNB files reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’). The public may read and
copy  any  materials  we  file  with  the  SEC  at  the  SEC’s  Public  Reference  Room  at  450  fifth  Street,  NW,
Washington,  DC  20549.  The  public  may  obtain  information  on  the  operation  of  the  Public  Reference
Room  by  calling  the  SEC  at  1-800-SEC-0330.  The  SEC  maintains  an  Internet  site  that  contains  reports,
proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the
SEC.  The  SEC  Internet  site’s  address  is  http://www.sec.gov.  DNB  maintains  a  corporate  website  at
www.dnbfirst.com. We will provide printed copies of our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to these reports at no charge upon written
request. Requests should be made to DNB Financial Corporation, 4 Brandywine Avenue, Downingtown,

As more fully discussed beginning on page 6 in the ‘‘Supervision and Regulation’’ section of Item 1.
‘‘Business’’  of  this  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K,  DNB’s  ability  to  repurchase  its  common  stock  was
limited by the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement between DNB and the U.S. Treasury regarding
its  participation  in  the  Treasury’s  Small  Business  Lending  Fund  (SBLF).  Under  the  SBLF,  effective
August  4,  2011,  so  long  as  any  share  of  Series  2011A  Preferred  Stock  remained  outstanding,  DNB  was
permitted to repurchase or redeem any shares of Capital Stock, only if, after giving effect to such dividend,
repurchase or redemption, DNB’s Tier 1 capital would be at least equal to the Tier 1 Dividend Threshold,
as  specified  in  the  agreement  and  that  the  dividends  on  such  stock  have  all  been  contemporaneously
declared and paid. During 2015, DNB  redeemed all remaining shares issued  to  the U.S.  Treasury.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and  Results of Operations

I.

Introductory Overview

DNB is a bank holding company whose bank subsidiary the Bank is a nationally chartered commercial
bank with trust powers, and a member of the FDIC. DNB provides a broad range of banking services to
individual and corporate customers through its twelve 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 Wealth Management Group, the Bank provides
wealth  management  and  trust  services  to  individuals,  businesses  and  non-profit  organizations.  The  Bank
and  its  subsidiary,  DNB  Investments  and  Insurance,  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.  A  secondary  source  of  interest  income  is  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  ensure  we  remain  well  positioned  to  meet  the  growing  needs  of  our  customers  and  communities
and  to  meet  the  challenges  of  the  21st  century,  we’ve  worked  to  build  awareness  of  our  full-service
capabilities and ability to meet the needs of a wide range of customers. This served to not only retain our
existing  customer  base,  but  to  position  ourselves  as  an  attractive  financial  institution  on  which  younger
individuals  and  families  can  build  their  dreams.  To  that  end,  DNB  continues  to  make  appropriate
investments in all areas of our business, including  people, technology, facilities  and marketing.

Highlights of DNB’s results for the year-end December 31, 2015  include:

(cid:127) Earnings increased $419,000 or 9.0% — Net income available to common shareholders for the year
ending December 31, 2015 was $5.1 million, or $1.79 per diluted share, compared with $4.7 million
or $1.66 per diluted share, for 2014.

(cid:127) Strong  loan  growth  and  stable  asset  quality  —  Total  loans  grew  $26.2  million  or  5.7%  to
$481.8  million  as  of  December  31,  2015,  from  $455.6  million  as  of  December  31,  2014.
Non-performing  assets  to  total  assets  was  1.02%  at  December  31,  2015,  compared  to  1.07%  at
December 31, 2014.

(cid:127) Continued focus on growing fee-based income — Wealth Management continued to record strong
growth  in  total  assets  under  care,  which  increased  16.9%  to  $191.5  million  at  December  31,  2015
compared  with  $163.8  million  at  December  31,  2014.  This  growth  contributed  to  a  $171,000  or
13.0%  increase  in  Wealth  Management  fee  income.  In  addition,  mortgage  banking  revenue
increased $79,000 or 85.9% to $171,000 in 2015.

(cid:127) Full redemption of SBLF Preferred Shares — During 2015, DNB redeemed $13.0 million or 100%
of the Series 2011A Preferred Stock which DNB had issued and sold to the Treasury. Capital ratios
continue to exceed minimum regulatory standards for well capitalized institutions. At December 31,
2015, the Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.94%, Tier 1 risk-based capital was 12.08%, and total risk based
capital ratio was 14.79%. As of the same date, the tangible common equity-to-tangible assets ratio
was 7.40%, and the common equity tier  1 capital ratio was 10.44%.

DNB is particularly exposed to downturns in the greater Philadelphia region as well as the global and
U.S.  economies.  Starting  in  the  2007-2008  time  period,  a  weak  economy,  coupled  with  declines  in  the
housing  market  and  elevated  unemployment  negatively  impacted  the  credit  performance  of  mortgage,
construction and other loans and resulted in significant write-downs by many financial institutions across
the  U.S.  In  addition,  the  values  of  real  estate  collateral  supporting  many  loans  declined.  While  certain
economic  conditions  in  the  U.S.  have  shown  some  improvement,  economic  growth  has  been  slow  and
uneven  as  consumers  continue  to  recover  from  previously  high  unemployment  rates  and  lower  housing
valuations. In addition, high levels of U.S. government debt, as well as economic and political conditions in
the  global  markets  may  impact  DNB’s  borrowers  negatively.  Unfavorable  general  economic  trends,
reduced  availability  of  commercial  credit  and  sustained  high  unemployment  coupled  with  a  low
participation rate, can negatively impact the credit performance of both consumer and commercial credits,
resulting  in  increased  write-downs.  A  worsening  of  these  conditions,  such  as  an  economic  slowdown  or
recession, would likely worsen the adverse effects of these difficult market conditions on DNB and other
financial  institutions.  As  a  result  of  strong  loan  growth  in  2015,  as  well  as  these  negative  trends  in  the
economy,  and  their  impact  on  our  borrowers’  ability  to  repay  their  loans,  DNB  made  a  $1,105,000
provision  for credit losses in 2015, compared  to  a $1,130,000 provision in 2014.

In  addition,  DNB’s  net  interest  margin  has  been  impacted  by  these  changes  in  the  economy.
Management  has  been  aggressive  in  managing  DNB’s  cost  of  funds  during  the  year  by  implementing
carefully  planned  pricing  strategies,  designed  to  offset  the  decline  in  rates  on  earning  assets,  while
matching  liquidity  needs.  Our  composite  cost  of  funds  for  2015  was  0.45%,  compared  to  0.45%  in  2014.
DNB’s net interest margin decreased to 3.19% in  2015 from 3.36%  in 2014.

Earnings.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2015,  DNB  reported  net  income  available  to  common
shareholders  of  $5.1  million,  an  increase  of  $419,000  from  $4.7  million  reported  for  the  year  ended
December 31, 2014, or $1.79 per share versus $1.66 per share, respectively, on a fully diluted basis. DNB’s
earnings  were  favorably  impacted  by  higher  net  interest  income,  lower  income  tax  expense,  and  a  lower
provision  for  credit  losses.  Although  DNB  reported  an  increase  in  earnings  in  2015  over  2014,  our
operations  and  earnings  are  subject  to  the  same  negative  economic  conditions  facing  all  financial
institutions.

Asset Quality. Non-performing assets were $7.7 million at December 31, 2015 compared to $7.8 million
at December 31, 2014. Non-performing assets as of December 31, 2015 were comprised of $4.6 million of
non-accrual loans, $457,000 of loans delinquent over ninety days and still accruing, as well as $2.4 million
of Other Real Estate Owned (‘‘OREO’’) and $165,000 in other repossessed property. As of December 31,
2015,  the  non-performing  loans  to  total  loans  ratio  decreased  to  1.06%  compared  to  1.50%  at
December 31, 2014. The non-performing assets to total assets ratio decreased to 1.02% at December 31,
2015,  compared  to  1.07%  at  December  31,  2014.  The  allowance  for  credit  losses  was  $4.9  million  at
December  31,  2015,  compared  to  $4.9  million  at  December  31,  2014.  The  allowance  to  total  loans  was
1.02%  at  December  31,  2015  compared  to  1.08%  at  December  31,  2014.  DNB’s  delinquency  ratio  (the
total of all delinquent loans plus loans greater than 90 days and still accruing, divided by total loans) was
1.32% at December 31, 2015, down from 1.87% at December 31, 2014.

II. Overview of Financial Condition — Major Changes  and Trends

At December 31, 2015, DNB had consolidated assets of $748.8 million and a Tier I/Leverage Capital
Ratio of 8.94%. Loans comprise 66.3% of earning assets, while investments and overnight funds constitute
the  remainder.  During  2015,  assets  increased  $25.5  million  to  $748.8  million  at  December  31,  2015,
compared  to  $723.3  million  at  December  31,  2014.  During  the  same  period,  investment  securities
decreased  $11.4  million  to  $220.2  million,  while  the  loan  portfolio  increased  $26.2  million,  or  5.74%,  to
$481.8 million. Deposits increased $1.2 million to $606.3 million at December 31, 2015. DNB’s liabilities
are comprised of a high level of core deposits with a low cost of funds in addition to a moderate level of
borrowings with costs that are more volatile than core deposits.

17

Comprehensive 5-Year Plan. During the third quarter of 2015, management updated the 5-year strategic
plan  that  was  designed  to  reposition  its  balance  sheet  and  improve  core  earnings.  Through  the  plan,
management  will  endeavor  to  expand  its  loan  portfolio  through  new  originations,  increased  loan
participations, as well as strategic loan and lease 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 on DNB’s Key Strategies follows  below:

(cid:127) Focus on penetrating existing markets  to  maximize profitability;

(cid:127) Grow loans and diversify the mix;

(cid:127) Improve asset quality;

(cid:127) Focus on profitable customer segments;

(cid:127) Grow and diversify non-interest income, primarily wealth management and mortgage  banking;

(cid:127) Continue to grow core deposits to  maintain low  funding costs;

(cid:127) Focus on cost containment and improving  operational efficiencies;  and

(cid:127) Continue to engage employees to help them become  more effective and successful.

Strategic Plan Update. During the year ended December 31, 2015, management focused on controlling
our composite cost of funds as well as maintaining strong asset quality. The composite cost of funds for the
year  ended  December  31,  2015  was  0.45%  compared  to  0.45%  for  2014.  As  a  major  component,  DNB’s
cost of interest bearing deposits declined from 0.27% in 2014 to 0.20% in 2015. This decrease was offset in
large  part,  due  to  DNB’s  issuance  of  $9,750,000  of  subordinated  debt  during  the  first  quarter  of  2015  at
4.25%  per  annum.  DNB  issued  the  subordinated  debt  to  redeem  75%  of  the  outstanding  Series  2011A
Perpetual  Preferred  Stock  that  had  been  issued  to  the  United  States  Department  of  the  Treasury  in
conjunction with DNB’s participation in the Small Business Lending Fund program. DNB redeemed this
Preferred  Stock  because  the  dividend  yield  was  scheduled  to  increase  from  1%  per  annum  to  9%  per
annum  in  the  first  quarter  of  2016.  Total  non-performing  assets,  including  loans  and  other  real  estate
property, were $7.7 million as of December 31, 2015 compared with $7.8 million for December 31, 2014.
The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 1.02% and non-performing loans were 1.06% of total
loans as of December 31, 2015. Positive trends were observed for the year ended December 31, 2015 from
the  sale  of  investments  and  insurance  products  through  our  third-party  broker-dealer,  Cetera  Financial
Services,  Inc.  and  ongoing  trust  administration  and  direct  management  of  investment  assets  for  clients
which increased fees 13.01% or $171,000 when compared to 2014. In addition, mortgage banking revenue
increased  $79,000  or  85.9%  to  $171,000  in  2015.  Non-interest  expense  for  the  year  ended  December  31,
2015  increased  slightly  by  2.13%  or  $397,000,  compared  to  2014,  reflecting  management’s  disciplined
expense controls.

DNB’s most significant revenue source continues to be net interest income, defined as total interest
income less total interest expense, which in 2015 accounted for approximately 81.3% 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.

18

III. DNB’s Principal Products and Services

Loans  and  Lending  Services.  DNB’s  primary  source  of  earnings  and  cash  flows  is  derived  from  its
lending function. The commercial loan and lease portfolios amounted to $396.7 million or 82.3% of total
loans as of December 31, 2015. DNB focuses on providing these products to small to mid-size businesses
throughout  Chester  and  Delaware  Counties.  In  keeping  with  DNB’s  goal  to  match  customer  business
initiatives with products designed to meet their needs, DNB offers a wide variety of fixed and variable rate
loans  that  are  priced  competitively.  DNB  serves  this  market  by  providing  funds  for  the  purchase  of
business property or ventures, working capital lines, Small Business Administration loans, lease financing
for equipment and for a variety of other purposes.

As a community bank, DNB also serves consumers by providing home equity and home mortgages, as
well  as  term  loans  for  the  purchase  of  consumer  goods.  Residential  mortgage  and  consumer  loans
increased  $3.1  million  in  2015  compared  to  2014,  primarily  in  the  residential  mortgage  portfolio.  In
addition  to  providing  funds  to  customers,  DNB  also  provides  a  variety  of  services  to  its  commercial
customers.  These  services,  such  as  cash  management,  remote  capture,  commercial  sweep  accounts,
internet banking, letters of credit and other lending services are designed to meet our customer needs and
help them become successful. DNB provides these services to assist its customers in obtaining financing,
securing business opportunities, providing access to new resources and managing cash flows.

Deposit  Products  and  Services.  DNB’s  primary  source  of  funds  is  derived  from  customer  deposits,
which  are  typically  generated  by  DNB’s  twelve  branch  offices.  DNB’s  deposit  base,  while  highly
concentrated in central Chester County, extends to southern Chester County and into parts of Delaware
and  Lancaster  Counties.  In  addition,  a  growing  amount  of  new  deposits  are  being  generated  through
expanded  government  service  offerings  and  as  a  part  of  comprehensive  loan  or  wealth  management
relationships.  DNB  also  has  access  to  wholesale  brokered  deposits  which  amounted  to  $18.5  million  at
December 31, 2015.

The majority of DNB’s deposit mix consists of low costing core deposits, (demand, NOW and savings
accounts). The remaining deposits are comprised of rate-sensitive money market and time products. DNB
offers  tiered  savings  and  money  market  accounts,  designed  to  attract  high  dollar,  less  volatile  funds.
Certificates  of  deposit  and  IRAs  are  traditionally  offered  with  interest  rates  commensurate  with  their
terms.

Non-Deposit Products and Services. DNB offers non-deposit products and services under the names
‘‘DNB  Investments  &  Insurance’’  and  ‘‘DNB  First  Investment  Management  &  Trust.’’  Revenues  under
these entities were $1.5 million and $1.3 million for  2015 and  2014, respectively.

Capacities

Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in net interest income due to changes in interest
rates.  DNB  considers  interest  rate  risk  a  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  DNB’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 DNB’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.  DNB’s  Asset  Liability  Committee
(the ‘‘ALCO’’) is responsible for reviewing DNB’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 DNB’s interest rate risk position to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. The extent of
the movement of interest rates is an uncertainty that could have a negative impact on DNB’s earnings. (See
additional discussion in Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk on page 44
of this Form 10-K.)

1. Net  Interest Margin

DNB’s net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets. Unlike
the  interest  rate  spread,  which  measures  the  difference  between  the  rates  on  earning  assets  and  interest
paying liabilities, the net interest margin measures that spread plus the effect of net free funding sources.
This  is  a  more  meaningful  measure  of  profitability  because  a  bank  can  have  a  narrow  spread  but  a  high
level of equity and non-interest-bearing deposits, resulting in a higher net interest margin. One of the most
critical  challenges  DNB  faced  over  the  last  several  years  was  the  impact  of  historically  low  interest  rates
and a narrower spread between short-term  rates and long-term  rates as noted in the  following  tables.

In general, financial institutions price their fixed rate loans off of 5 and 10 year treasuries and price
their deposits off of shorter indices, like the Federal Funds Sold rate. As you can see in the table above, the
spread  between  the  Federal  Funds  Sold  rate  and  the  5  year  treasury  has  ranged  from  1.68%  to  0.64%
during  the  last  6  years.  The  spread  between  the  Federal  Funds  Sold  rate  and  the  10  year  treasury  has
ranged from 3.04% to 1.72% during the last 6 years. As a result of the compression between long and short
term  rates,  many  banks,  including  DNB,  have  seen  their  net  interest  margin  fluctuate  during  the  last
6 years.

The  following  table  provides,  for  the  periods  indicated,  information  regarding:  (i)  DNB’s  average
balance sheet; (ii) the total dollar amounts of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resulting
average  yields  (tax-exempt  yields  have  been  adjusted  to  a  tax  equivalent  basis  using  a  34%  tax  rate);
(iii)  the  total  dollar  amounts  of  interest  expense  on  interest-bearing  liabilities  and  the  resulting  average
costs; (iv) net interest income; (v) net interest rate spread; and (vi) net interest margin. Average balances
were calculated based on daily balances. Non-accrual loan balances are included in total loans. Loan fees
and costs are included in interest on  total  loans.

During 2015, net interest income increased $746,000 or 3.39% on a tax equivalent basis. As shown in
the following Rate/Volume Analysis table, $1.3 million favorable volume changes were offset by $603,000
unfavorable  rate  changes.  The  favorable  change  in  net  interest  income  due  to  volume  changes  is  mostly
attributable to increased average balances of loans of $30.1 million (affecting net interest income favorably
by  $1.3  million),  increased  average  balances  of  investment  securities  of  $33.5  million  (favorable  change
$836,000),  and  decreased  average  balances  of  time  deposits  of  $14.1  million  (favorable  change  $82,000),
offset  by  increased  average  balances  of  FHLBP  advances  of  $9.6  million  (unfavorable  change  $367,000)
and increased average balances of subordinated debt of $8.1 million (unfavorable change $341,000). The
unfavorable  impact  of  decreased  yields  on  interest-earning  assets  outweighed  the  favorable  impact  of
decreased  rates  on  interest-bearing  liabilities,  resulting  in  a  $603,000  unfavorable  difference.  The
unfavorable change due to rate earned on loans was $701,000 (an average rate earned of 4.37% in 2015,
compared to 4.53% in 2014). The unfavorable change due to rate earned on investments was $304,000 (an

22

average  rate  earned  of  2.19%  in  2015,  compared  to  2.29%  in  2014).  These  unfavorable  changes  due  to
decreased yields on loans and investments was partially offset by lower rates paid on FHLBP advances and
time deposits. The favorable change due to rate on FHLBP advances was $193,000 (an average rate paid of
3.82%  in  2015,  compared  to  5.58%  in  2014).  The  favorable  change  due  to  rate  on  time  deposits  was
$219,000  (an  average  rate  paid  of  0.59%  in  2015,  compared  to  0.85%  in  2014.  DNB’s  composite  cost  of
funds  remained at 0.45% in 2015, compared to the same  rate  in 2014.

The following table sets forth, among other things, the extent to which changes in interest rates and
changes  in  the  average  balances  of  interest-earning  assets  and  interest-bearing  liabilities  have  affected
interest  income  and  expense  for  the  periods  noted  (tax-exempt  yields  have  been  adjusted  to  a  tax
equivalent  basis  using  a  34%  tax  rate).  For  each  category  of  interest-earning  assets  and  interest-bearing
liabilities, information is provided with respect to changes attributable to (i) changes in rate (change in rate
multiplied by old volume) and (ii) changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by new rate). The net
change attributable to the combined impact of rate and volume has been allocated proportionately to the
change due to rate and the change due to  volume.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

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 Asset/
Liability  Committee  (‘‘ALCO’’)  actively  seeks  to  monitor  and  control  the  mix  of  interest  rate-sensitive
assets and interest rate-sensitive liabilities.

23

ALCO  continually  evaluates  interest  rate  risk  management  opportunities,  including  the  use  of
derivative financial instruments. Management believes that hedging instruments currently available are not
cost-effective, and therefore, has focused its efforts on increasing DNB’s spread by attracting lower-costing
retail deposits and in some instances,  borrowing from the FHLB of Pittsburgh.

DNB  reports  its  callable  agency  investments  ($39.2  million  at  December  31,  2015)  at  their  Option
Adjusted  Spread  (‘‘OAS’’)  effective  duration  date,  as  opposed  to  the  call  or  maturity  date.  In
management’s opinion, using effective duration dates on callable securities and advances provides a better
estimate  of  the  option  exercise  date  under  any  interest  rate  environment.  The  OAS  methodology  is  an
approach  whereby  the  likelihood  of  option  exercise  takes  into  account  the  coupon  on  the  security,  the
distance  to  the  call  date,  the  maturity  date  and  current  interest  rate  volatility.  In  addition,  prepayment
assumptions  derived  from  historical  data  have  been  applied  to  mortgage-related  securities,  which  are
included  in  investments.  (See  additional  discussion  in  Item  7a.  Quantitative  and  Qualitative  Disclosures
About Market Risk on page 44 of this  Form 10-K.)

B. 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  FHLBP  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 a stable 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 part of its liquidity management, DNB maintains assets, which comprise its primary liquidity (Federal
funds  sold, investments and interest-bearing cash  balances, less pledged securities).

C. 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  experiencing  credit  quality  deterioration.  DNB’s  loan  review  procedures
provide  objective  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. As the U.S.
economy moves through a period of recession, it is possible that delinquencies and non-performing assets
may  rise  as  the  value  of  homes  decline  and  DNB’s  borrowers  experience  financial  difficulty  due  to
corporate  downsizing,  reduced  sales  and  income  levels,  or  other  negative  events  which  will  impact  their
ability to meet their contractual loan payments. To minimize the impact on DNB’s earnings and maintain

24

sound  credit  quality,  management  continues  to  aggressively  monitor  credit  and  credit  relationships  that
may be impacted by such adverse factors.

D. 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 offers deposit products and services, such as Choice Checking with
ATM  surcharge  rebates,  Mobile  Banking,  Popmoney(cid:4)  and  expanded  bill  payment  functionality  with
CheckFree(cid:4). DNB also offers a complete package of cash management services including remote deposit,
ARP  services,  JetPay  Payroll  Services(cid:4),  ACH,  government  account  services  and  more.  In  addition,  our
broad  range  of  Business  Checking  products  provides  significant  advantages  to  our  customers  when
compared to those offered by our competitors.

V. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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  U.S.  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  in  Note  1.  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 notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and discussion throughout this
Form 10-K.

VI. 2015 Financial Results

A. Liquidity

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. 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  $303.2  million  at  December  31,  2015.  Management  believes  that  DNB  has  adequate
resources to meet  its short-term and  long-term funding  requirements.

As  of  December  31,  2015,  deposits  totaled  $606.3  million,  up  $1.2  million  from  $605.1  million  at
December 31, 2014. There are $52.8 million in certificates of deposit (including IRAs) scheduled to mature

25

during 2016. 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  cash  and  cash  equivalents  or  by
pay-downs  and  maturities  of  loans  and  investments.  At  December  31,  2015,  DNB  had  $116.4  million  in
un-funded  loan  commitments.  In  addition,  there  were  $3.2  million  in  un-funded  letters  of  credit.
Management anticipates the majority of these commitments will be funded by means of normal cash flows.
Included in interest bearing time deposits are time and brokered deposits issued in amounts of $100,000 or
more and their remaining maturities at  December  31, 2015 were as  follows:

Capital Resources and Adequacy

Stockholders’  equity  was  $55.5  million  at  December  31,  2015  compared  to  $63.9  million  at
December  31,  2014.  The  decrease  in  stockholders’  equity  was  primarily  a  result  of  the  redemption  of
$13.0 million of Preferred Stock issued to the U.S. Treasury in conjunction with DNB’s participation in the
Small Business Lending Fund Program, as well as $784,000 of dividends paid on DNB’s common stock, a
$386,000  net-of  tax  other  comprehensive  loss,  and  $50,000  of  dividends  paid  on  Series  2011A  Preferred
Stock. These decreases were partially offset by 2015 earnings of $5.1 million. We have modeled our ratios
under the finalized Basel III rules and we do not expect that we will be required to raise additional capital
as a result of these rules.

On  August  4,  2011,  DNB  entered  into  a  Securities  Purchase  Agreement  with  the  Secretary  of  the
Treasury,  pursuant  to  which  DNB  issued  and  sold  to  the  Treasury  13,000  shares  of  its  Series  2011A

26

Preferred Stock, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share for aggregate proceeds of $13,000,000.
The  Securities  Purchase  Agreement  was  entered  into,  and  the  Series  2011A  Preferred  Stock  was  issued,
pursuant to the Treasury’s SBLF, a $30 billion fund established under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010,
that encourages lending to small businesses by providing capital to qualified community banks with assets
of less than $10 billion. Of the $13 million in aggregate proceeds, $11,879,000 was used to repurchase all
CPP  Shares  ($11,750,000  was  paid  in  principal  and  $128,900  in  accrued,  unpaid  dividends  related  to  the
CPP  Shares)  previously  held  by  the  Treasury.  The  securities  sold  in  this  transaction  were  exempt  from
registration  under  Section  4(2)  of  the  Securities  Act  of  1933,  as  amended,  as  a  transaction  by  DNB  not
involving a public offering.

On  March  6,  2015,  DNB  redeemed  9,750  of  the  13,000  shares  of  the  Corporation’s  Series  2011A
Preferred Stock that had been issued to the United States Department of the Treasury in connection with
the Corporation’s participation in the SBLF program. The shares were redeemed at their liquidation value
of $1,000 per share plus accrued dividends for a total redemption price of $9,767,604. DNB redeemed the
remaining  3,250  shares  on  December  31,  2015.  The  shares  were  redeemed  at  their  liquidation  value  of
$1,000 per share plus accrued dividends  for a total redemption price of $3,258,125.

Management believes that DNB and the Bank have each met the definition of ‘‘well capitalized’’ for
regulatory purposes on December 31, 2015. 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 DNB’s or the Bank’s overall
financial condition or prospects. DNB’s capital exceeds the Federal Reserve Bank’s (‘‘FRB’s’’) minimum
leverage  ratio  requirements  for  bank  holding  companies  (see  additional  discussion  in  Regulatory
Matters — Note 16 to DNB’s Consolidated Financial Statements).

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.

B. Results of Operations

1. Summary of Performance

(a) Summary of Results

For the year ended December 31, 2015, DNB reported net income available to common shareholders
of $5.1 million, versus $4.7 million in 2014. Per share earnings on a fully diluted basis were $1.79, up from
$1.66 in the prior year. Even though DNB’s annual earnings have increased, there are many aspects of the
economy and the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy that hinder DNB’s ability to grow revenues and net
income.  One  of  the  most  significant  factors  is  that  the  global  and  U.S.  economies  have  experienced
reduced business activity as a result of disruptions in the financial system during the past seven years. The
United States, Europe, China and many other countries across the globe are struggling with too much debt
and  weaker  streams  of  revenues  as  a  result  of  recessionary  pressures,  falling  oil  prices  and  high
unemployment.  Overall  economic  growth  continues  to  be  slow  at  a  time  when  national  and  regional
unemployment rates have improved, however participation rates remain at historically low levels. The risks
associated  with  our  business  remain  acute  in  periods  of  slow  economic  growth.  Moreover,  financial
institutions continue to be affected by a sluggish real estate market. While we are continuing to take steps
to  decrease  and  limit  our  exposure  to  problem  loans,  we  nonetheless  retain  direct  exposure  to  the
residential and commercial real estate markets, and we are affected by  these events.

The  January  13,  2016  Beige  Book  indicated  that  aggregate  business  activity  in  the  Third  District
continued to grow at a modest pace. Overall, firms hired additional employees at a similarly slow, cautious
pace;  however,  the  Federal  Reserve’s  service-sector  contacts,  especially  from  staffing  firms,  reported

27

stronger hiring rates. On balance, only slight increases were reported in wages and prices, including home
prices. Firms tended to report less ambitious growth expectations than in prior periods — generally stating
that the current modest trends would continue.

Overall,  Third  District  homebuilders  have  appeared  to  sustain  a  moderate  growth  rate  since  the
December  2,  2015  Beige  Book.  A  nationwide  firm  reported  strong  increases  in  contract  signings  for  its
markets covering Third District states. Reports from smaller builders were mixed. Moreover, most builders
reported that large backlogs and unseasonably warm weather had kept construction crews more active than
usual. Builders did note that the time required to deliver a new house has lengthened, as labor shortages
continued to hamper their ability to secure subcontracting services on  a timely basis.

The  Federal  Reserve’s  nonresidential  real  estate  contacts  continued  to  report  modest  growth  in
construction and leasing activity. Contacts representing architects, engineers, and developers continued to
report  the  strongest  activity  in  Center  City  Philadelphia  and  other  smaller  urban  cores.  They  attributed
some  of  the  increasing  demand  to  employers  choosing  to  relocate  jobs  to  the  urban  cores  to  attract
younger  workers.  The  Federal  Reserve’s  contacts  remained  optimistic  for  continued  growth  of  both  new
construction and leasing activity through 2016.

Third  District  financial  firms  have  continued  to  report  moderate  overall  increases  in  total  loan
volumes  since  the  December  2,  2015  Beige  Book.  Auto  loans  exhibited  the  greatest  percentage  gains
during  the  period,  while  commercial  and  industrial  (C&I)  deals  and  commercial  real  estate  activity
continued to generate strong loan growth. Auto loans and C&I  loans  have been the  strongest categories
over the year as well. Mortgages, home equity loans, and other consumer loans have been flat to down over
the  period  as  well  as  over  the  year.  The  Federal  Reserve’s  banking  contacts  continued  to  note  a
competitive lending environment, a greater demand for new mortgages than for refinances, and improving
credit  quality.  The  Federal  Reserve’s  contacts  remained  optimistic  for  continued  slow,  steady  growth  in
2016.

Third  District  manufacturers  reported  that  overall  activity  continued  to  decline  slightly  during  the
December 2, 2015 Beige Book period. New orders also declined further; however, shipments appeared to
rebound  a  bit.  Despite  the  general  declines,  firms  reported  slight  overall  increases  in  the  number  of
employees  and  in  the  average  employee  workweek.  Although  the  year  end  is  typically  slow  for  most
industrial  firms,  activity  appeared  to  be  weak  for  most  major  industrial  sectors  even  after  adjusting  for
seasonal  factors.  Weak  global  demand  coupled  with  the  strong  dollar  are  generally  cited  as  major
contributors to the current declines; some firms also continued to cite weak demand from customers that
supply  Pennsylvania’s  energy  extraction  sector.  Expectations  of  growth  during  the  next  six  months  have
remained positive but have significantly weakened since the December 2, 2015 Beige Book report, as have
firms’  plans  for  future  capital  expenditures  and  future  employment.  Substantial  layoffs  were  recently
announced for Delaware’s pharmaceutical industry in advance of a proposed merger of two large firms and
its  subsequent spin-off into three smaller entities.

Although DNB’s earnings have been impacted by the general economic conditions, the impact has not
been  as  severe  as  it  has  been  in  many  parts  of  the  nation,  largely  due  to  a  relatively  healthier  economic
climate in the Third Federal Reserve District and specifically Chester County. DNB’s franchise spans both
Chester  and  Delaware  counties  in  southeastern  Pennsylvania.  The  majority  of  loans  have  been  made  to
businesses  and  individuals  in  Chester  County  and  the  majority  of  deposits  are  from  businesses  and
individuals  within  the  County.  According  to  census  data,  Chester  County’s  population  has  grown  at
approximately 15%, compared to 13% for the nation and 3% for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The
median household income in Chester County is $85,373 and the County ranks 14th nationally in disposable
income. The unemployment rate for Chester County stood at 3.6% as of September 2015, compared to a
Pennsylvania  unemployment  rate  of  5.3%  and  a  national  unemployment  rate  of  4.9%.  Traditionally,  the
unemployment rate has been the lowest in the surrounding five-county area and it ranks among the lowest
unemployment  rates  in  the  Commonwealth.  Chester  County  has  a  civilian  labor  force  of  266,900,  with

28

manufacturing jobs representing 23.1% of the workforce and retail shopping comprising 13.8% of the total
employment.  During  the  last  few  years,  the  County  has  been  able  to  keep  most  of  its  major  employers;
however some of them have downsized in order to remain competitive. Chester County is home to several
Fortune  500  companies.  Thirteen  Chester  County  employers  have  1,000  employees  or  more.  Of  these
13 companies, two companies have more than 5,000  employees.

These and other factors have impacted our operations. We continue to focus on the consistency and
stability of core earnings and balance sheet strength which are critical success factors in today’s challenging
economic environment.

(b) Significant Events, Transactions and Economic  Changes Affecting Results

Some of  DNB’s significant events during 2015 include:

(cid:127) Total loans were $481.8 million at December 31, 2015, up $26.2 million or 5.7% from 2014. Gross
loans  funded  during  2015  were  $145.9  million,  compared  to  $129.6  million  in  2014.  Paydowns  on
loans  were  $119.7  million,  up  33.9%  from  $89.4  million  in  2014.  Commercial  loans  grew  by
$6.2  million  or  5.3%  to  $122.5  million,  commercial  mortgage  loans  grew  $16.8  million  or  6.5%,
consumer loans grew $486,000 or 0.9% to $56.4 million, and residential loans grew $2.7 million or
10.2% to $28.7 million.

(cid:127) During  2015,  DNB  redeemed  $13.0  million  or  100%  of  the  Series  2011A  Preferred  Stock  which
DNB  had  issued  and  sold  to  the  Treasury.  Capital  ratios  continue  to  exceed  minimum  regulatory
standards  for  well  capitalized  institutions.  At  December  31,  2015,  the  Tier  1  leverage  ratio  was
8.94%, Tier 1 risk-based capital was 12.08%, and total risk based capital ratio was 14.79%. As of the
same date, the tangible common equity-to-tangible assets ratio was 7.40%, and the common equity
tier  1 capital ratio was 10.44%.

(cid:127) Wealth  management  assets  under  care  grew  to  $191.5  million  at  December  31,  2015,  up  from
$163.8  million  at  December  31,  2014,  as  the  Bank  continued  expanding  its  wealth  management
business.

Operations-Introductory  Overview  on  page  16  of  this  Form  10-K.

(d) Material Changes in Results

Please  refer  to  the  discussion  above  in  the  section  titled  ‘‘Significant  Events,  Transactions  and

Economic Changes Affecting Results.’’

(e) Effect of Inflation and Changing Rates

For detailed discussion of the effects of inflation and changes in rates on DNB’s results, refer to the

following discussion on ‘‘Net Interest  Income.’’

2. 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 (net of
interest  reversals  on  non-performing  loans),  investments  and  Federal  funds  sold,  as  well  as  net  loan  fee
amortization  and  dividend  income.  Interest  expense  includes  the  interest  cost  for  deposits,  FHLBP
advances,  repurchase  agreements,  corporate  debentures,  Federal  funds  purchased  and  other  borrowings.

29

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2015,  management  focused  on  growing  the  loan  portfolio,
controlling our composite cost of funds, increasing penetration of new and existing households, as well as
maintaining strong asset quality. Total loans increased 5.7% on a year-over year basis, while our composite
cost of funds for the year ended December 31, 2015 was 0.45%, the same as it was in 2014. Asset quality
remained strong with non-performing loans dropping from 1.50% at the end of 2014, to 1.06% at the end
of 2015. The net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2015 was 3.19% compared to 3.36% in
2014. The decrease was caused by the higher volume of interest-bearing liabilities with no change to the
composite cost of funds, combined with a lower yield on earning assets.

Interest on loans was $20.1 million for 2015, compared to $19.6 million for 2014. The average balance
of  loans  was  $465.9  million  with  an  average  tax  equivalent  yield  of  4.37%  in  2015,  compared  to
$435.8  million  with  an  average  tax  equivalent  yield  of  4.53%  in  2014.  Year-over-year  results  reflect  the
continuing low interest rate environment  in combination with pay downs on higher yielding loans.

Interest and dividends on investment securities was $4.4 million for 2015, compared to $4.0 million for
2014. The average balance of investment securities was $231.8 million with an average tax equivalent yield
of 2.19% in 2015 compared to $198.3 million with an average tax equivalent yield of 2.29% in 2014. Total
investment  securities  decreased  $11.4  million  from  December  31,  2014  to  December  31,  2015,  primarily
due to $78.1 million in sales, principal pay-downs, calls and maturities, and a change in unrealized loss of
$515,000, offset by $68.0 million in purchases. Interest and dividends increased $388,000, primarily due the
higher  average volume of the portfolio during the year.

Interest on deposits was $1.2 million for 2015 compared to $1.3 million for 2014. The average balance
of  interest-bearing  deposits  was  $497.2  million  with  an  average  rate  of  0.20%  for  2015  compared  to
$463.7 million with an average rate of 0.27% for 2014. The decrease in rate was primarily attributable to a
lower interest rate environment.

Interest  on  FHLBP  advances  was  $787,000  for  2015  compared  to  $613,000  for  2014.  The  average
balance  on  FHLBP  advances  was  $20.6  million  with  an  average  rate  of  3.82%  for  2015  compared  to
$11.0 million with an average rate of  5.58%  for 2014.

Interest on repurchase agreements was $51,000 for 2015 compared to $39,000 for 2014. The average
balance on repurchase agreements was $25.6 million with an average rate of 0.20% for 2015 compared to
$19.5 million with an average rate of 0.20% for 2014. The increase in interest expense was primarily the
result of the higher volume of these accounts.

3. Provision for Credit Losses

To provide for known and inherent losses in the loan and lease portfolio, DNB maintains an allowance
for  credit  losses.  There  was  a  $1,105,000  provision  made  in  2015  compared  to  $1,130,000  in  2014.  For  a
detailed discussion on DNB’s reserve methodology, refer to ‘‘Item 1 — Determination of the allowance for
credit losses’’ which can be found under ‘‘Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates’’.

4. Non-Interest Income

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  First  Investment  Management  and  Trust;  non-depository  securities  brokerage
products and services and insurance products and services offered through DNB Investments & Insurance;
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 loans. In addition, DNB receives fees for cash
management, remote capture, merchant services, debit cards, safe deposit box rentals and similar activities.

Non-interest  income  was  $5.01  million  for  2015  compared  to  $4.96  million  for  2014.  The  $51,000
increase  was  primarily  due  to  increases  of  $484,000  in  gain  on  sale  of  loans,  $171,000  in  Wealth

30

Management,  $120,000  in  gain  from  insurance  proceeds  associated  with  a  fire  at  one  of  the  Bank’s
locations, $79,000 in mortgage banking, and $79,000 in other fees. The increases were offset by decreases
of $780,000 in gains on sale of investments, $95,000 in service charges on deposits, primarily non-sufficient
fund fees, and $7,000 in income from BOLI policies.

5. Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest  expense  includes  salaries  &  employee  benefits,  furniture  &  equipment,  occupancy,
professional & consulting fees as well as marketing, printing & supplies, FDIC insurance, PA shares tax,
telecommunications, write-downs on other real estate owned (‘‘OREO’’) and other repossessed property
and other less significant expense items. Non-interest expenses increased during 2015 by $397,000 or 2.1%
compared to 2014.

Salary and employee benefits. Salary and employee benefits were $10.6 million for 2015 compared to
$10.0  million  for  2014.  The  $553,000  increase  was  attributable  to  a  higher  level  of  full-time  equivalent
employees  year  over  year,  higher  levels  of  restricted  stock  grants  expense,  as  well  as  a  higher  level  of
incentive and commission based compensation paid to various revenue  producers.

Occupancy. Occupancy  expense  was  $1.9  million  for  2015  compared  to  $2.1  million  for  2014.  The
$200,000  decrease  was  mainly  attributable  to  a  decrease  in  office  building  rental  expense  for  our  West
Chester branch and loan operations office  due to the fire during the  second  quarter  of 2015.

Other expenses. Other expenses remained relatively flat  at $1.9 million  for  2015 and 2014.

FDIC insurance. FDIC insurance expense was $497,000 in 2015 compared to $455,000 in 2014. The
$42,000  increase  was  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  assets  which  created  a  higher  assessment  in  2015
compared to 2014 (See ‘‘FDIC Insurance and Assessments’’  on  page 10 of this Form  10-K).

Gain/loss  on  sale  or  write-down  of  OREO  and  other  repossessed  property. During  2015,  DNB  had
$134,000  of  net  loss  on  the  sale/write-downs  of  OREO  properties  compared  to  $7,000  of  net  loss  on  the
sale/write-downs  in  2014.  At  December  31,  2015,  DNB  held  $2.6  million  of  such  assets,  compared  to
$901,000 at December 31, 2014.

6.

Income Taxes

Income  tax  expense  was  $1.5  million  and  $1.7  million  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2015  and
2014,  respectively.  Income  tax  expense  for  each  period  primarily  differs  from  the  amount  determined  at
the statutory rate of 34.0% 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. The effective tax
rates  for  2015  and  2014  were  22.6%  and  25.9%,  respectively.  The  lower  effective  tax  rate  in  2015  was
primarily due to higher levels of tax-exempt income on loans and investment securities in 2015, relative to
the amounts of such income in 2014.

1.

Investment Securities

Financial Condition Analysis

DNB’s  investment  portfolio  consists  of  U.S.  agency  securities,  mortgage-backed  securities  and
collateralized  mortgage  obligations  issued  by  U.S.  Government  agencies  state  and  municipal  securities,
bank stocks, and other bonds and notes. In addition to generating revenue, DNB maintains the investment
portfolio to manage interest rate risk, provide liquidity, provide collateral for borrowings and to diversify
the credit risk of earning assets. The portfolio is structured to maximize DNB’s net interest income given
changes in the economic environment, liquidity position and balance sheet mix.

31

Given the nature of the portfolio, and its generally high credit quality, management normally expects
to  realize  all  of  its  investment  upon  the  maturity  of  such  instruments.  Management  determines  the
appropriate  classification  of  securities  at  the  time  of  purchase.  Investment  securities  are  classified  as:
(a)  securities  held  to  maturity  (‘‘HTM’’)  based  on  management’s  intent  and  ability  to  hold  them  to
maturity;  (b)  trading  account  (‘‘TA’’)  securities  that  are  bought  and  held  principally  for  the  purpose  of
selling  them  in  the  near  term;  and  (c)  securities  available  for  sale  (‘‘AFS’’).  DNB  does  not  currently
maintain a trading account portfolio.

Securities classified as AFS include securities that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates,
changes in prepayment assumptions, the need to increase regulatory capital or other similar requirements.
DNB does not necessarily intend to sell such securities, but has classified them as AFS to provide flexibility
to respond to liquidity needs.

DNB’s investment portfolio (HTM and AFS securities) totaled $220.2 million at December 31, 2015,
down  $11.4  million  or  4.9%  from  $231.7  million  at  December  31,  2014.  The  $11.4  million  decrease  in
investment securities was primarily due to $78.1 million in sales, principal pay-downs, calls and maturities,
and a change in unrealized loss of $515,000, offset by  $68.0 million in purchases.

At December 31, 2014, approximately 69% of DNB’s investments were in the AFS portfolio and 31%
were  in  the  HTM  portfolio.  Investments  consist  mainly  of  mortgage-backed  securities  and  Agency  notes
backed by government sponsored enterprises, such as FHLMC, FNMA and FHLB. Management regularly
reviews its investment portfolio to determine whether any securities are other than temporarily impaired.
DNB  did  not  invest  in  securities  backed  by  sub-prime  mortgages.  At  December  31,  2015,  the  combined
AFS  and  HTM  portfolios  had  an  unrealized  pretax  gain  of  $1.1  million  and  an  unrealized  pretax  loss  of
$1.7 million. At December 31, 2014, the combined AFS and HTM portfolios had an unrealized pretax gain
of  $1.5  million  and  an  unrealized  pretax  loss  of  $1.5  million.  There  were  no  other  than  temporarily
impaired securities.

The  following  tables  set  forth  information  regarding  the  composition,  stated  maturity  and  average
yield  of  DNB’s  investment  security  portfolio  as  of  the  dates  indicated  (tax-exempt  yields  have  been
adjusted to a tax equivalent basis using a 34% tax rate). The first two tables do not include amortization or
anticipated  prepayments  on  mortgage-backed  securities.  Callable  securities  are  included  at  their  stated
maturity dates.

2. Loan and Lease Portfolio

DNB’s  loan  and  lease  portfolio  consists  primarily  of  commercial  and  residential  real  estate  loans,
commercial  loans  and  lines  of  credit  (including  commercial  construction),  commercial  leases  and
consumer  loans.  The  portfolio  provides  a  stable  source  of  interest  income,  monthly  amortization  of
principal and, in the case of adjustable rate  loans, re-pricing opportunities.

Total  loans  were  $481.8  million  at  December  31,  2015,  up  $26.2  million  or  5.7%  from  2014.  Gross
loans  funded  during  2015  were  $145.9  million,  compared  to  $129.6  million  in  2014.  Paydowns  on  loans
were $119.7 million, up 33.9% from $89.4 million in 2014. Commercial loans grew by $6.2 million or 5.3%
to $122.5 million, commercial mortgage loans grew $16.8 million or 6.5% to $274.1, consumer loans grew
$486,000 or 0.9% to $56.4 million, and residential loans grew $2.7 million or  10.2% to $28.7 million.

Total  non-performing  assets  decreased  $81,000  to  $7.7  million  at  December  31,  2015,  compared  to
$7.8  million  at  December  31,  2014.  The  $81,000  decrease  was  attributable  to  a  $1.9  million  decrease  in
non-accrual loans and a $123,000 increase in loans 90 days past due and still accruing, and a $1.7 million
increase  in  other  real  estate  owned  &  other  repossessed  property.  As  a  result  of  the  decrease  in
non-performing  loans  and  a  $26.2  million  net  increase  in  gross  loans,  the  non-performing  loans  to  total

34

loans  ratio  decreased  to  1.06%  at  December  31,  2015,  from  1.50%  at  December  31,  2014.  The
non-performing  assets  to  total  assets  ratio  decreased  to  1.02%  at  December  31,  2015  from  1.07%  at
December  31,  2014.  The  allowance  to  non-performing  loans  ratio  increased  to  96.9%  at  December  31,
2015  from  71.6%  at  December  31,  2014.  DNB  continues  to  work  diligently  to  improve  asset  quality  by
adhering to strict underwriting standards and improving lending policies and procedures. Non-performing
assets  have  had,  and  will  continue  to  have,  an  impact  on  earnings;  therefore  management  intends  to
continue working aggressively to reduce  the level  of  such assets.

Non-performing assets are comprised of non-accrual loans, loans delinquent over ninety days and still
accruing, as well as OREO and other repossessed assets. Non-accrual loans are loans 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 or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. Other repossessed assets are primarily assets from
DNB’s commercial lease portfolio that were repossessed. OREO and other repossessed assets are carried
at  the  lower  of  carrying  value  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.

DNB’s Credit Policy Committee monitors the performance of the loan and lease portfolio to identify
potential  problem  assets  on  a  timely  basis.  Committee  members  meet  to  design,  implement  and  review
asset recovery strategies, which serve to maximize the recovery of each troubled asset. As of December 31,
2015,  DNB  had  $19.5  million  of  loans  classified  as  substandard.  Of  the  $19.5  million,  $14.6  million  are
performing  and  are  believed  to  require  increased  supervision  and  review;  and  may,  depending  on  the
economic environment and other factors, become non-performing assets in future periods. The majority of
these  loans  are  secured  by  commercial  real  estate,  with  lesser  amounts  being  secured  by  residential  real
estate, inventory and receivables. The amount of performing substandard loans at December 31, 2014 was
$16.0 million.

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,  and  (iii)  OREO  as  a  result  of  foreclosure  or  voluntary
transfer to DNB as well as other repossessed assets. In addition, the table sets forth DNB’s asset quality

Included  in  the  loan  portfolio  are  loans  for  which  DNB  has  ceased  the  accrual  of  interest
(i.e. non-accrual loans). Loans of approximately $4.6 million and $6.5 million as of December 31, 2015 and
2014,  respectively,  were  on  a  non-accrual  basis.  DNB  also  had  loans  of  approximately  $457,000  and
$334,000  that  were  90  days  or  more  delinquent,  but  still  accruing,  as  of  December  31,  2015  and  2014,
respectively.  If  contractual  interest  income  had  been  recorded  on  non-accrual  loans,  interest  would  have
been increased as shown in the following  tables:

4. 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 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  criticized  and  classified
loans  generally  includes  reviews  of  borrowers  of  $100,000  or  greater.  Consideration  is  also  given  to
examinations performed by regulatory  agencies, primarily the OCC.

Management  reviews  and  establishes  the  adequacy  of  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  in  accordance
with  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  guidance  provided  by  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission and as prescribed in OCC Bulletin 2006-47. Its methodology for assessing the appropriateness
of the allowance consists of several key elements which include: specific allowances for identified impaired
loans;  and  allowances  by  loan  type  for  pooled  homogenous  loans.  In  considering  national  and  local

37

economic  trends,  we  review  a  variety  of  information  including  Federal  Reserve  publications,  general
economic  statistics,  foreclosure  rates  and  housing  statistics  published  by  third  parties.  We  believe  this
improves  the  measure  of  inherent  loss  over  a  complete  economic  cycle  and  reduces  the  impact  for
qualitative adjustments. An unallocated portion of the allowance is intended to provide for probable losses
not  otherwise  accounted  for  in  management’s  other  elements  of  its  overall  estimate.  An  unallocated
component  is  maintained  to  cover  uncertainties  such  as  changes  in  the  national  and  local  economy,
concentrations  of  credit,  expansion  into  new  markets  and  other  factors  that  could  affect  management’s
estimate  of  probable  losses.  The  unallocated  component  of  the  allowance  also  reflects  the  margin  of
imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and
general losses in the portfolio.

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  historical  loss
factors.  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. Historical losses are segregated into
risk-similar  groups  and  a  loss  ratio  is  determined  for  each  group  over  a  five  year  period.  The  five  year
average loss ratio by type is then used to calculate the estimated loss based on the current balance of each
group.  This  five  year  time  period  is  appropriate  given  DNB’s  historical  level  of  losses  and,  more
importantly, represents the current economic environment.

This analysis is intended to assess the potential for loss within the loan portfolio and to substantiate
the  adequacy  of  the  allowance.  Should  the  analysis  indicate  that  the  allowance  is  not  adequate,
management will recommend a provision expense be made in an amount equal to the shortfall derived. In
establishing  and  reviewing  the  allowance  for  adequacy,  emphasis  has  been  placed  on  utilizing  the
methodology prescribed in OCC Bulletin 2006-47. Management believes that the following factors create a
comprehensive  system  of  controls  in  which  management  can  monitor  the  quality  of  the  loan  portfolio.
Consideration  has  been  given  to  the  following  factors  and  variables  which  may  influence  the  risk  of  loss
within the loan portfolio:

(cid:127) Changes in the nature and volume  of  the portfolio and in the  terms of loans

(cid:127) Changes  in  the  volume  and  severity  of  past  due  loans,  the  volume  of  non-accrual  loans,  and  the

volume and severity of adversely classified or  graded loans

(cid:127) The  existence  and  effect  of  any  concentrations  of  credit,  and  changes  in  the  level  of  such

concentrations

Portfolio  risk  includes  the  levels  and  trends  in  delinquencies,  impaired  loans,  changes  in  the  loan
rating  matrix  and  trends  in  volume  and  terms  of  loans.  Management  is  satisfied  with  the  stability  of  the
past  due  and  non-performing  loans  and  believes  there  has  been  no  decline  in  the  quality  of  the  loan
portfolio due to any trend in delinquent or adversely classified loans. In determining the adequacy of the

38

allowance,  management  considers  any  deterioration  of  asset  quality  in  DNB’s  commercial  mortgage  and
residential  first  mortgage  portfolios.  New  appraisal  values  we  have  obtained  for  existing  loans  have
generally been consistent with trends indicated by Case-Schiller and  other indices.

DNB  closely  monitors  the  loan  to  value  ratios  of  all  classified  assets  and  requires  periodic  current
appraisals  to  monitor  underlying  collateral  values.  Management  also  reviews  borrower,  sponsorship  and
guarantor’s financial strength along with their ability and willingness to provide financial support of their
obligations on an immediate and continuing basis.

The provision decreased to $1,105,000 in 2015 compared to $1,130,000 in 2014. DNB’s percentage of
allowance  for  credit  losses  to  total  loans  was  1.02%  at  December  31,  2015  compared  to  1.08%,  1.11%,
1.72%,  and  1.53%  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2014,  2013,  2012,  and  2011  respectively.  The
allowance  as  a  percentage  of  total  loans  declined  during  the  five  years  ended  December  31,  2015.  The
decline during the five years ended December 31, 2015 was a result of management partially charging off
the  carrying  balance  of  four  large  non-performing  loans  by  $4.0  million  during  2013  and  an  increase  in
total  loans  from  2011  to  2015  of  $78.1  million.  Prior  to  the  partial  charge-offs  during  2013,  DNB  had
specific reserves in the allowance of $1.9 million on these loans. Net charge-offs were $1.1 million in 2015,
compared to $847,000, $4.7 million, $781,000, and $1.2 million in 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
The  percentage  of  net  charge-offs  to  total  average  loans  was  0.23%,  0.19%,  1.20%,  0.20%,  and  0.29%
during the five years ending December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Management is
not aware of any potential problem loans, which were accruing and current at December 31, 2015, where
serious doubt exists as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the present repayment terms and that
would result in a significant loss to DNB.

We  typically  establish  a  general  valuation  allowance  on  classified  loans  which  are  not  impaired.  In
establishing  the  general  valuation  allowance,  we  segregate  these  loans  by  loan  type.  For  commercial  and
construction  loans,  the  determination  of  the  category  for  each  loan  is  based  on  periodic  reviews  of  each
loan  by  our  lending  and  credit  officers  as  well  as  an  independent,  third-party  consultant.  The  reviews
include  a  consideration  of  such  factors  as  recent  payment  history,  current  financial  data,  cash  flow,
financial  projections,  collateral  evaluations,  guarantor  or  sponsorship  financial  strength  and  current
economic and business conditions. Categories for mortgage and consumer loans are determined through a
similar review. Classification of a loan within a category is based on identified weaknesses that increase the
credit risk of loss on the loan. The allowance percentage, is determined based on inherent losses associated
with each type of lending as determined through consideration of our loss history with each type of loan,
trends  in  credit  quality  and  collateral  values,  and  an  evaluation  of  current  economic  and  business
conditions.

We  establish  a  general  allowance  on  non-classified  loans  to  recognize  the  inherent  losses  associated
with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem
loans.  This  general  valuation  allowance  is  determined  by  segregating  the  loans  by  loan  category  and
assigning allowance percentages to each category. An evaluation of each category is made to determine the
need  to  further  segregate  the  loans  within  each  category  by  type.  For  our  residential  mortgage  and
consumer  loan  portfolios,  we  treat  them  as  homogeneous  pools.  For  our  commercial  real  estate  and
construction loan portfolios, a further analysis is made in which we segregated the loans by type based on
the purpose of the loan and the collateral properties securing the loan. Various risk factors for each type of
loan  are  considered,  including  the  impact  of  general  economic  and  business  conditions,  collateral  value
trends,  credit quality trends and historical  loss experience.

39

As  of  December  31,  2015,  DNB  had  $7.7  million  of  non-performing  assets,  which  included
$5.1 million of non-performing loans and $2.6 million of OREO and other repossessed property. Loans are
reviewed for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 310-10-35. Impaired loans can either be secured or
unsecured, not including large groups of smaller balance loans that are collectively evaluated. Impairment
is  measured  by  the  difference  between  the  loan  amount  and  the  present  value  of  the  future  cash  flow
discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. Management measures loans for impairment by using the
fair value of collateral for collateral dependent loans. In general, management reduces the amount of the
appraisal  by  the  estimated  cost  of  acquisition  and  disposition  of  the  underlying  collateral  and  compares
that adjusted value with DNB’s carrying value. DNB establishes a specific valuation allowance on impaired
loans that have a collateral shortfall, including estimated costs to sell in comparison to the carrying value of
the loan. Of the $5.0 million of impaired loans at December 31, 2015, $307,000 had a valuation allowance
of  $114,000  and  $4.7  million  had  no  specific  allowance.  For  those  impaired  loans  that  management
determined that no specific valuation allowance was necessary, management has reviewed the appraisal for
each loan and determined that there is no shortfall in the collateral. During the year ended December 31,
2015, DNB recognized $1.2 million in  total charge-offs, $954,000 of which  related to impaired loans.

We typically order new third-party appraisals or collateral valuations when a loan becomes impaired
or is transferred to OREO. This is done within two weeks of a loan becoming impaired or a loan moving to
OREO. It generally takes two to eight weeks to receive the appraisals, depending on the type of property
being  appraised.  We  recognize  any  provision  or  related  charge-off  within  two  weeks  of  receiving  the
appraisal  after  the  appraisal  has  been  reviewed  by  DNB.  We  generally  order  a  new  appraisal  for  all
impaired  real  estate  loans  having  a  balance  of  $100,000  or  higher,  every  twelve  months,  unless
management  determines  more  frequent  appraisals  are  necessary.  We  use  updated  valuations  when  time
constraints do not permit a full appraisal process, to reflect rapidly changing market conditions. Because
appraisals and updated valuations utilize historical data in reaching valuation conclusions, the appraised or
updated  value  may  or  may  not  reflect  the  actual  sales  price  that  we  will  receive  at  the  time  of  sale.
Management  uses  the  qualitative  factor  ‘‘Changes  in  the  value  of  underlying  collateral  for  collateral-
dependent loans’’ to establish reserves.

Real  estate  appraisals  typically  include  up  to  three  approaches  to  value:  the  sales  comparison
approach, the income approach (for income-producing property) and the cost approach. Not all appraisals
utilize all three approaches to value. Depending on the nature of the collateral and market conditions, the
appraiser may emphasize one approach over  another in determining  the fair value of collateral.

Appraisals  may  also  contain  different  estimates  of  value  based  on  the  level  of  occupancy  or  future
improvements. ‘‘As-is’’ valuations represent an estimate of value based on current market conditions with
no changes to the collateral’s use or condition. ‘‘As-stabilized’’ or ‘‘as-completed’’ valuations assume that
the collateral is improved to a stated standard or achieves its highest and best use in terms of occupancy.
‘‘As-stabilized’’  valuations  may  be  subject  to  a  present  value  adjustment  for  market  conditions  or  the
schedule for improvements.

In connection with the valuation process, we will typically develop an exit strategy for the collateral by
assessing overall market conditions, the current condition and use of the asset and its highest and best use.
For most income- producing real estate, investors value most highly a stable income stream from the asset;
consequently, we conduct a comparative evaluation to determine whether conducting a sale on an ‘‘as-is’’
basis or on an ‘‘as-stabilized’’ basis is most likely to produce the highest net realizable value and compare
these values with the costs incurred and the holding period necessary to achieve the ‘‘as stabilized’’ value.

Our estimates of the net realizable value of collateral include a deduction for the expected costs to sell
the collateral or such other deductions as deemed appropriate. For most real estate collateral, we apply a
seven to ten percent deduction to the value of real estate collateral to determine its expected costs to sell
the  asset.  This  estimate  generally  includes  real  estate  commissions,  one  year  of  real  estate  taxes  and
miscellaneous repair and closing costs. If we receive a purchase offer that requires unbudgeted repairs, or
if  the  expected  holding  period  for  the  asset  exceeds  one  year,  then  we  include  the  additional  real  estate
taxes and repairs or other holding costs in the expected costs to sell the collateral on a case-by-case basis.

5. Certain Regulatory Matters

Dividends  payable  to  DNB  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.  The  sum  of  these  items  amounted  to  $9.6  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,
2015. During 2015, the Bank paid $4.4 million to DNB in connection with the Non-Cumulative Perpetual
Preferred  Stock  issued  on  August  4,  2011  as  part  of  the  Small  Business  Lending  Fund  program
administered  by  the  United  States  Treasury.  The  average  Non-Cumulative  Perpetual  Preferred  Stock
outstanding in 2015 was $4.95 million.

The  FDIC  has  authority  to  assess  and  change  federal  deposit  insurance  assessment  rates  based  on
average consolidated assets, less tangible equity capital of the Bank. For further information, please refer
to  the  discussion  of  FDIC  deposit  insurance  assessments  under  Part  I,  Item  1  (‘‘Business’’),  section  (c)
(‘‘Narrative Description of Business’’) — ‘‘Supervision and Regulation — Bank’’ under the heading ‘‘FDIC
Insurance  and  Assessments’’  on  page  10  of  this  report.  DNB’s  FDIC  insurance  expense  was  $497,000  in
2015

DNB was well capitalized at December 31, 2015 and met all regulatory capital requirements. Please
refer  to  Note  16  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  a  table  that  summarizes  required  capital
ratios and the corresponding regulatory  capital  positions of  DNB and the Bank at  December 31, 2015.

At  December  31,  2015,  DNB  owned  $2.3  million  of  stock  of  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  of
Pittsburgh  (‘‘FHLBP’’)  and  had  outstanding  borrowings  of  $30.0  million  from  the  FHLBP.  DNB
recognized dividend income on FHLBP stock of $107,000 in 2015. At December 31, 2015, DNB’s excess
borrowing capacity from the FHLBP was $257.2 million. Generally, the loan terms from the FHLBP are
better than the terms DNB can receive from other sources.

42

6. Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, various commitments and contingent liabilities are outstanding, such
as guarantees and commitments to extend credit, borrow money or act in a fiduciary capacity, which are
not  reflected  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  Management  does  not  anticipate  any  significant
losses as a result of these commitments.

DNB had outstanding stand-by letters of credit totaling $3.2 million and unfunded loan and lines of

credit commitments totaling $116.4 million  at December 31, 2015.

These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the
amount recognized on the balance sheet. The exposure to credit loss, in the event of non-performance by
the  party  to  the  financial  instrument  for  commitments  to  extend  credit  and  stand-by  letters  of  credit,  is
represented by the contractual amount. Management uses the same credit policies in making commitments
and conditional obligations as it does  for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of
any  condition  established  in  the  contract.  Commitments  generally  have  fixed  expiration  dates  or  other
termination  clauses  and  may  require  the  payment  of  a  fee.  DNB  evaluates  each  customer’s
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral, if any, obtained upon the extension of
credit, usually consists of real estate,  but may include securities, property  or other assets.

Stand-by letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by DNB to guarantee the performance
or repayment of a financial obligation of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued
to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risks involved in issuing letters of credit
are  essentially  the  same  as  those  involved  in  extending  loan  facilities  to  customers.  DNB  holds  various
forms of collateral to support these commitments.

DNB  maintains  borrowing  arrangements  with  various  correspondent  banks,  the  FHLBP  and  the
Federal  Reserve  Bank  of  Philadelphia  to  meet  short-term  liquidity  needs.  Through  these  relationships,
DNB has available credit of approximately $303.2 million at December 31, 2015. At December 31, 2015,
DNB had $30.0 million of FHLBP borrowings outstanding and the FHLBP had issued letters of credit, on
DNB’s behalf, totaling $30.0 million  against  its  available  credit lines.

As  of  December  31,  2015,  approximately  $191.5  million  of  assets  are  held  by  DNB  First  Wealth
Management in a fiduciary, custody or agency capacity. These assets are not assets of DNB, and are not
included in the consolidated financial  statements.

Item 7A.

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
may  require  action  by  management.  At  December  31,  2015  and  2014,  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 following table. The change as a percentage of the present value of
equity with a 200 basis point increase was within DNB’s negative 25% guideline at December 31, 2015 and
2014.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

DNB  Financial  Corporation  (the  ‘‘Corporation’’  or  ‘‘DNB’’)  through  its  wholly  owned  subsidiary,
DNB  First,  National  Association  (the  ‘‘Bank’’),  formerly  Downingtown  National  Bank,  has  been  serving
individuals  and  small  to  medium  sized  businesses  of  Chester  County,  Pennsylvania  since  1860.  DNB
Capital Trust I and II are special purpose Delaware business trusts, which are not consolidated as they are
considered  variable  interest  entities  and  the  Corporation  is  not  the  primary  beneficiary  (see  additional
discussion in Junior Subordinated Debentures — Note 9). The Bank is a locally managed commercial bank
providing personal and commercial loans and deposit products, in addition to investment and trust services
from  twelve  community  offices.  The  Bank  encounters  vigorous  competition  for  market  share  from
commercial banks, thrift institutions,  credit unions and other financial intermediaries.

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  DNB  and  its  subsidiary,  the  Bank,  which  together  are
managed  as  a  single  operating  segment  (‘‘Community  Banking’’),  are  prepared  in  accordance  with  U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles  applicable to the banking  industry.

In  preparing  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  management  is  required  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities,  the  disclosure  of  contingent  assets
and  liabilities  at  the  date  of  the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Financial  Condition,  and  the  reported
amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the  reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ  from  these
estimates.  Amounts  subject  to  significant  estimates  are  items  such  as  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  and
lending related commitments, the fair value of repossessed assets, pension and post-retirement obligations,
the  fair  value  of  financial  instruments  and  other-than-temporary  impairments  of  investment  securities.
Among  other  effects,  such  changes  could  result  in  future  impairments  of  investment  securities,  and
establishment of allowances for credit losses and lending related commitments as well as increased benefit
plans’ expenses.

Accounting  Developments  Affecting  DNB In  January  2014,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2014-04,
‘‘Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.’’ The
objective  of  this  guidance  is  to  clarify  when  an  in  substance  repossession  or  foreclosure  occurs,  that  is,
when  a  creditor  should  be  considered  to  have  received  physical  possession  of  residential  real  estate
property  collateralizing  a  consumer  mortgage  loan  such  that  the  loan  receivable  should  be  derecognized
and  the  real  estate  property  recognized.  ASU  No.  2014-04  states  that  an  in  substance  repossession  or
foreclosure  occurs,  and  a  creditor  is  considered  to  have  received  physical  possession  of  residential  real
estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title
to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all
interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-04 requires
interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by
the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real
estate  property  that  are  in  the  process  of  foreclosure  according  to  local  requirements  of  the  applicable
jurisdiction.  ASU  No.  2014-04  is  effective  for  interim  and  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  after
December  15,  2014.  The  adoption  of  ASU  No.  2014-04  did  not  have  a  material  impact  on  DNB’s
Consolidated Financial Statements.

In  May  2014,  the  FASB  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update  No.  2014-09,  Revenue  from  Contract
with Customers (Topic 606). The guidance in this update affects any entity that either enters into contracts
with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets
unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, insurance contracts or lease
contracts).  The  core  principle  of  the  guidance  is  that  an  entity  should  recognize  revenue  to  depict  the
transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which
the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an

50

entity should apply the following five steps: 1) identify the contracts(s) with the customer; 2) identify the
performance  obligations  in  the  contract;  3)  determine  the  transaction  price;  4)  allocate  the  transaction
price  to  the  performance  obligations  in  the  contract;  and  5)  recognize  revenue  when  (or  as)  the  entity
satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or
fulfill  a  contract  with  a  customer.  For  a  public  entity,  the  amendments  in  this  update  are  effective  for
annual  reporting  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2015,  including  interim  periods  within  that
reporting period. Early application is not permitted. DNB is still evaluating the effect of this amendment
on  DNB’s  consolidated  financial  statements.  .  In  August  2015,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2015-14,  Revenue
from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. The guidance in this ASU is now
effective  for  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2017,  including  interim  reporting
periods  within  that  reporting  period.  DNB  does  not  expect  this  ASU  to  have  a  significant  impact  on  its
financial condition or results of operations.

In  June  2014,  ASU  No.  2014-11  amended  ASC  Topic  860,  ‘‘Transfers  and  Servicing’’  to  address
concerns that current accounting guidance distinguishes between repurchase agreements that settle at the
same time as the maturity of the transferred financial asset and those that settle any time before maturity.
The  update  changed  the  accounting  for  repurchase-to-maturity  transactions  to  secured  borrowing
accounting  and,  for  repurchase  financing  arrangements,  separate  accounting  for  a  transfer  of  a  financial
asset  executed  contemporaneously  with  a  repurchase  agreement  with  the  same  counterparty,  which
resulted in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement. The adoption of this ASU did not
have a material effect on DNB’s operating  results or financial condition.

In  April  2015,  the  FASB 

issued  ASU  No.  2015-03,  Interest  —  Imputation  of  Interest
(Subtopic  835-30):  Simplifying  the  Presentation  of  Debt  Issuance  Costs.  The  update  simplifies  the
presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet
as  a  direct  deduction  from  the  carrying  amount  of  debt  liability,  consistent  with  debt  discounts  or
premiums.  The  recognition  and  measurement  guidance  for  debt  issuance  costs  are  not  affected  by  the
amendments  in  this  update.  For  public  companies,  this  update  will  be  effective  for  interim  and  annual
periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2015,  and  is  to  be  applied  retrospectively.  Early  adoption  is
permitted. DNB is currently assessing the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial
statements,  but  does  not  expect  the  guidance  to  have  a  material  impact  on  the  DNB’s  consolidated
financial statements.

In  February  2016,  the  FASB  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update  No.  2016-02,  Leases.  The  new
standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease
liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as
either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income
statement.  The  new  standard  is  effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15,  2018,  including
interim  periods  within  those  fiscal  years.  A  modified  retrospective  transition  approach  is  required  for
lessees  for  capital  and  operating  leases  existing  at,  or  entered  into  after,  the  beginning  of  the  earliest
comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. DNB
is  currently  evaluating  the  impact  of  the  pending  adoption  of  the  ASU  on  its  consolidated  financial
statements.

Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of DNB and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant inter-company transactions have been
eliminated.

Cash and Due From Banks For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and due
from banks, and federal funds sold are considered to be cash equivalents. Generally, federal funds are sold
for one-day periods.

51

Investment Securities

Investment securities are classified at the time of purchase and accounted for as

follows:

Held-To-Maturity  (‘‘HTM’’)  Includes  debt  securities  that  DNB  has  the  positive  intent  and  ability  to
hold to maturity. Debt securities are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion
of discounts. DNB may sell HTM securities when DNB collects greater than 85% of the original recorded
investment on the HTM securities prior to the sale.

Available-For-Sale  (‘‘AFS’’)  Includes  debt  and  equity  securities  not  classified  as  HTM  securities.
Securities classified as AFS are securities that DNB intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but
not  necessarily  to  maturity.  Such  securities  are  reported  at  fair  value,  with  unrealized  holding  gains  and
losses  excluded  from  earnings  and  reported,  net  of  tax  (if  applicable),  as  a  separate  component  of
stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on the sale of AFS securities are computed on the basis of
specific  identification  of  the  adjusted  cost  of  each  security.  Amortization  of  premiums  and  accretion  of
discounts for all types of securities are computed using  a level-yield  basis.

Other  Than  Temporary  Impairment  (‘‘OTTI’’)  Analysis  Securities  are  evaluated  on  a  quarterly  basis,
and more frequently when market conditions warrant such an evaluation, to determine whether declines in
their  value  are  other-than-temporary.  To  determine  whether  a  loss  in  value  is  other-than-temporary,
management utilizes criteria such as the reasons underlying the decline, the magnitude and duration of the
decline, and whether or not management intends to sell or expects that it is more likely than not that it will
be required to sell the security prior to an anticipated recovery of the fair value. Once a decline in value for
a  debt  security  is  determined  to  be  other-than-temporary,  the  other-than-temporary  impairment  is
separated into (a) the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to a decrease in cash
flows  expected  to  be  collected  from  the  debt  security  (the  credit  loss)  and  (b)  the  amount  of  the  total
other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors. The amount of the total impairment related
to credit losses is included in earnings. The amount of the total impairment related to all other factors is
included in other comprehensive income.  DNB recorded  no impairment  charges in 2015 or 2014.

Restricted Stock Restricted investment in bank stocks consist of Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank
(‘‘FRB’’)  stock,  Pittsburgh  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  (‘‘FHLBP’’)  stock,  and  Atlantic  Central  Bankers
Bank (‘‘ACBB’’) stock. Federal law requires a member institution of the district FRB and FHLB to hold
stock  according  to  predetermined  formulas.  Atlantic  Central  Bankers  Bank  requires  its  correspondent
banking institutions to hold stock as a condition of membership. The restricted investment in bank stock is
carried at cost. Quarterly, the Corporation evaluates the bank stocks for impairment. We evaluate recent
and  long-term  operating  performance,  liquidity,  funding  and  capital  positions,  stock  repurchase  history,
dividend  history,  and  impact  of  legislative  and  regulatory  changes.  At  December  31,  2015,  DNB  owned
$2.3 million of stock of the FHLBP, $1.1 million of stock of the FRB and $106,000 of stock of ACBB. At
December 31, 2014, DNB owned $1.4 million of stock of the FHLBP, $1.1 million of stock of the FRB and
$106,000 of stock of ACBB.

Loans Held-for-Sale Loans held for sale are comprised of residential mortgage loans originated by the
Bank and servicing of the loan is not retained after sale. Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of
cost  or  fair  value,  as  determined  by  the  aggregate  commitments  from  investors  or  current  investor  yield
requirements. The amount by which cost exceeds fair value, if any is accounted for as a valuation allowance
and  is  charged  to  expense  in  the  period  of  the  change.  Gains  or  losses  on  sales  of  mortgage  loans  are
recognized  based  on  the  difference  between  the  selling  price  and  the  carrying  value  of  the  related
mortgage loan and is recorded in non-interest  income.

Loans Loans  receivable  that  management  has  the  intent  and  ability  to  hold  for  the  foreseeable
future  or  until  maturity  or  payoff  are  stated  at  their  outstanding  unpaid  principal  balances,  net  of  an
allowance  for  credit  losses  and  any  deferred  fees  or  costs.  Interest  income  is  accrued  on  the  unpaid
principal  balance.  Loan  origination  fees,  net  of  certain  direct  origination  costs,  are  deferred  and
recognized  as  an  adjustment  of  the  yield  (interest  income)  of  the  related  loans.  DNB  is  generally

52

amortizing  these  amounts  over  the  contractual  life  of  the  loan.  Premiums  and  discounts  on  purchased
loans are amortized as adjustments to interest income  using the effective  yield method.

The  loans  receivable  portfolio  is  segmented  into  residential  mortgage  loans,  commercial  mortgage
loans,  commercial  loans  (which  consist  of  commercial  term  loans  and  commercial  construction  loans),
leases, and consumer loans (which consist of home equity  loans and other consumer loans.)

For  all  classes  of  loans  receivable,  the  accrual  of  interest  is  generally  discontinued  when  the
contractual  payment  of  principal  or  interest  has  become  90  days  past  due  or  management  has  serious
doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A
loan  may  remain  on  accrual  status  if  it  is  in  the  process  of  collection  and  is  either  guaranteed  or  well
secured.  When  a  loan  or  lease  is  placed  on  non-accrual,  interest  accruals  cease  and  uncollected  accrued
interest is reversed and charged against current income. Interest received on nonaccrual loans, including
impaired  loans,  generally  is  either  applied  against  principal  or  reported  as  interest  income,  according  to
management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status
when  the  obligation  is  brought  current,  has  performed  in  accordance  with  the  contractual  terms  for  a
reasonable  period  of  time  (generally  six  months)  and  the  ultimate  collectability  of  the  total  contractual
principal  and  interest  is  no  longer  in  doubt.  The  past  due  status  of  all  classes  of  loans  receivable  is
determined based on contractual due  dates  for loan payments.

Deferred  Loan  Fees  and  Costs Loan  origination  and  commitment  fees  and  related  direct-loan
origination costs of completed loans are deferred and accreted to income as a yield adjustment over the
life of the loan using the level-yield method. The accretion to income is discontinued when a loan is placed
on  non-accrual  status.  When  a  loan  is  paid  off,  any  unamortized  net  deferred  fee  balance  is  credited  to
income. When a loan is sold, any unamortized net deferred fee balance is considered in the calculation of
gain or loss.

Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses consists of the allowance for loan losses and
represents management’s estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date and
is recorded as a reduction to loans. The allowance for credit losses is increased by the provision for loan
losses,  and  decreased  by  charge-offs,  net  of  recoveries.  Loans  deemed  to  be  uncollectible  are  charged
against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. All,
or  part,  of  the  principal  balance  of  loans  receivable  are  charged  off  to  the  allowance  as  soon  as  it  is
determined that the repayment of all, or part, of the principal balance is highly unlikely. Non-residential
consumer loans are generally charged off no later than 120 days past due on a contractual basis, earlier in
the event of Bankruptcy, or if there is an amount deemed uncollectible. No portion of the allowance for
loan losses is restricted to any individual loan or groups of loans, and the entire allowance is available to
absorb any and all loan losses.

The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that
can  be  reasonably  anticipated.  Management  performs  a  quarterly  evaluation  of  the  adequacy  of  the
allowance.  The  allowance  is  based  on  DNB’s  past  loan  loss  experience,  known  and  inherent  risks  in  the
portfolio,  adverse  situations  that  may  affect  the  borrower’s  ability  to  repay,  the  estimated  value  of  any
underlying  collateral,  composition  of  the  loan  portfolio,  current  economic  conditions  and  other  relevant
factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to
significant revision as more information  becomes available.

The  allowance  consists  of  specific,  general  and  unallocated  components.  The  specific  component
relates  to  loans  that  are  classified  as  impaired.  For  loans  that  are  classified  as  impaired,  an  allowance  is
established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired
loan  is  lower  than  the  carrying  value  of  that  loan.  The  general  component  covers  pools  of  loans  by  loan
class including commercial loans not considered impaired, as well as smaller balance homogeneous loans,
such as residential real estate, home equity and other consumer loans. These pools of loans are evaluated

53

for  loss  exposure,  based  upon  historical  loss  rates  for  each  of  these  categories  of  loans,  adjusted  for
qualitative factors. These qualitative risk  factors include:

1. Lending  policies  and  procedures,  including  underwriting  standards  and  collection,  charge-off  and

recovery practices

2. National,  regional,  and  local  economic  and  business  conditions  as  well  as  the  condition  of  various

market segments, including the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans

3. Nature and volume of the portfolio and terms of  loans

4. Experience, ability, and depth of lending  management and staff

5. Volume and severity of past due, classified and nonaccrual loans as well as other loan modifications

6. Quality of DNB’s loan review system, and the degree of oversight by DNB’s Board  of Directors

7. Existence  and  effect  of  any  concentrations  of  credit  and  changes  in  the  level  of  such  concentrations

8. Effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements

9. Changes in the value of underlying  collateral  for collateral-dependent  loans

Each  factor  is  assigned  a  value  to  reflect  improving,  stable  or  declining  conditions  based  on
management’s  best  judgment  using  relevant  information  available  at  the  time  of  the  evaluation.
Adjustments to the factors are supported through documentation of changes in conditions in a narrative
accompanying the  allowance for credit  loss calculation.

Residential mortgage loans involve certain risks such as interest rate risk and risk of non-repayment.
Adjustable-rate  single  family  real  estate  loans  decreases  the  interest  rate  risk  to  the  Company  that  is
associated with changes in interest rates but involve other risks, primarily because as interest rates rise, the
payment  by  the  borrower  rises  to  the  extent  permitted  by  the  terms  of  the  loan,  thereby  increasing  the
potential  for  default.  At  the  same  time,  the  marketability  of  the  underlying  property  may  be  adversely
affected by higher interest rates. Repayment risk can be affected by job loss, divorce, illness and personal
bankruptcy or the borrower.

Commercial  real  estate  lending  entails  significant  additional  risks  as  compared  with  single-family
residential property lending. Such loans typically involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups
of  related  borrowers.  The  payment  experience  on  such  loans  is  typically  dependent  on  the  successful
operation  of  the  real  estate  project.  The  success  of  such  projects  is  sensitive  to  changes  in  supply  and
demand conditions in the market for  commercial real estate as well as economic conditions  generally.

Commercial  loans,  which  are  also  referred  to  as  commercial  and  industrial  loans  (‘‘C  &  I  loans’’),
include  advances  to  businesses  for  general  commercial  purposes  and  include  permanent  and  short-term
working  capital,  machinery  and  equipment  financing,  and  may  be  either  in  the  form  of  lines  of  credit  or
term loans. Although C & I loans may be unsecured to our highest rated borrowers, the majority of these
loans  are  secured  by  the  borrower’s  accounts  receivable,  inventory  and  machinery  and  equipment.  In  a
significant  number  of  these  loans,  the  collateral  also  includes  the  business  real  estate  or  the  business
owner’s  personal  real  estate  or  assets.  C  &  I  loans  present  credit  exposure  to  DNB,  as  they  are  more
susceptible to risk of loss during a downturn in the economy, as borrowers may have greater difficulty in
meeting  their  debt  service  requirements  and  the  value  of  the  collateral  may  decline.  DNB  attempts  to
mitigate  this  risk  through  its  underwriting  standards,  including  evaluating  the  credit  worthiness  of  the
borrower and to the extent available, credit ratings on the business. Additionally, monitoring of the loans
through annual renewals and meetings with the borrowers are typical. However, these procedures cannot
eliminate the risk of loss associated with  this  type of lending.

Construction  lending  is  generally  considered  to  involve  a  higher  level  of  risk  as  compared  to  single-
family residential lending, due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers

54

and the effects of general economic conditions on developers and builders. Moreover, a construction loan
can  involve  additional  risks  because  of  the  inherent  difficulty  in  estimating  both  a  property’s  value  at
completion  of  the  project  and  the  estimated  cost  (including  interest)  of  the  project.  The  nature  of  these
loans  is  such  that  they  are  generally  more  difficult  to  evaluate  and  monitor.  DNB  has  attempted  to
minimize the foregoing risks by, among other things, limiting the extent of its construction lending and has
adopted  underwriting  guidelines  which 
loan-to-value,  debt  service  and  other
impose  stringent 
requirements  for  loans  which  are  believed  to  involve  higher  elements  of  credit  risk,  by  limiting  the
geographic area in which DNB will do business and by working with builders with whom it has established
relationships.

Consumer  loans  generally  have  shorter  terms  and  higher  interest  rates  than  mortgage  loans  but
generally involve more credit risk than mortgage loans because of the type and nature of the collateral and,
in certain cases, the absence of collateral. In addition, consumer lending collections are dependent on the
borrower’s  continuing  financial  stability,  and  thus  are  more  likely  to  be  adversely  effected  by  job  loss,
divorce,  illness  and  personal  bankruptcy.  In  most  cases,  any  repossessed  collateral  for  a  defaulted
consumer loan will not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance because
of improper repair and maintenance of the underlying security. The remaining deficiency often does not
warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. DNB believes that the generally higher
yields earned on consumer loans compensate for the increased credit risk associated with such loans and
that consumer loans are important to  its efforts to provide a full range  of services to its customers.

An  unallocated  component  is  maintained  to  cover  uncertainties  that  could  affect  management’s
estimate  of  probable  losses.  The  unallocated  component  of  the  allowance  reflects  the  margin  of
imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and
general losses in the portfolio.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that DNB
will  be  unable  to  collect  the  scheduled  payments  of  principal  or  interest  when  due  according  to  the
contractual  terms  of  the  loan  agreement.  Factors  considered  by  management  in  determining  impairment
include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest
payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally
are  not  classified  as  impaired.  Management  determines  the  significance  of  payment  delays  and  payment
shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan
and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment
record  and  the  amount  of  the  shortfall  in  relation  to  the  principal  and  interest  owed.  Impairment  is
measured  on  a  loan  by  loan  basis  for  commercial  and  industrial  loans,  commercial  real  estate  loans  and
commercial construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
loan’s  effective  interest  rate  or  the  fair  value  of  the  collateral  if  the  loan  is  collateral  dependent.  An
allowance for credit losses is established for an impaired loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair
value.  The  estimated  fair  values  of  substantially  all  of  DNB’s  impaired  loans  are  measured  based  on  the
estimated fair value of the loan’s collateral.

For commercial loans secured by real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through
third-party  appraisals.  When  a  real  estate  secured  loan  becomes  impaired,  a  decision  is  made  regarding
whether  an  updated  certified  appraisal  of  the  real  estate  is  necessary.  This  decision  is  based  on  various
considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the original
appraisal  and  the  condition  of  the  property.  Appraised  values  are  discounted  to  arrive  at  the  estimated
selling price of the collateral, which is considered to be the estimated fair value. The discounts also include
estimated costs to sell the property.

For commercial loans secured by non-real estate collateral, such as accounts receivable, inventory and
equipment, estimated fair values are determined based on the borrower’s financial statements, inventory

55

reports,  accounts  receivable  agings  or  equipment  appraisals  or  invoices.  Indications  of  value  from  these
sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets.

We  perform  separate  impairment  analyses  once  residential  or  consumer  loans  become  significantly
delinquent.  This  is  essentially  the  same  process  for  all  loan  types.  Once  on  non-accrual  or  at  90  days
delinquent  (if  not  before),  we  generally  get  updated  valuations  (appraisals,  etc.)  and  then  perform  the
impairment  analysis.  So,  the  general  reserve  is  used  to  cover  the  performing  loans  until  we  pull  out  the
problem accounts.

Loans  whose  terms  are  modified  are  classified  as  troubled  debt  restructurings  if  DNB  grants  such
borrowers  concessions  and  it  is  deemed  that  those  borrowers  are  experiencing  financial  difficulty.
Concessions  granted  under  a  troubled  debt  restructuring  generally  involve  a  temporary  reduction  in
interest rate or an extension of a loan’s stated maturity date. Non-accrual troubled debt restructurings are
restored to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for six
consecutive months after modification. Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are designated as
impaired.

As of December 31, 2015, DNB had no commercial mortgages classified as a TDR, compared to one
commercial mortgage classified as a TDR totaling $2,246,000 at December 31, 2014. The loan was paid off
during  the  third  quarter  of  2015.  The  rate  on  this  loan  was  modified  and  the  terms  of  the  loans  were
changed to interest only while the project was being built out. The loan commenced normal principal and
interest  payments  in  June  2014.  The  loan  was  extended  and  there  was  no  reduction  of  principal.  The
balance  of  the  loan  prior  to  modification  was  $2,272,000  and  the  balance  after  the  modification  was
$2,272,000. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no defaults on any
terms of this loan.

As  of  December  31,  2015,  DNB  had  one  consumer  home  equity  loan  classified  as  a  TDR  totaling
$102,000  compared  to  one  consumer  home  equity  loan  classified  as  a  TDR  totaling  $102,000  (the  same
loan)  at  December  31,  2014.  The  monthly  payment  on  this  loan  was  reduced  for  36  months  and  the
borrower will resume making contractual payments at the end of this period. The loan was extended and
there was no reduction of principal. This loan was classified a TDR in June of 2014. The balance of the
loan prior to the modification was $102,000 and the balance after the modification was $102,000. During
the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no defaults on any terms of this loan.

As  of  December  31,  2015,  DNB  had  one  consumer  installment  loan  classified  as  a  TDR  totaling
$40,000 compared to no such loans at December 31, 2014. The interest rate on the loan was reduced. The
loan was extended and there was no reduction of principal. This loan was classified as a TDR in December
of 2015. The balance of the loan prior to modification was $42,000 and the balance after the modification
was $42,000. DNB recognized a partial charge-off of the loan in the amount of $2,000. During the twelve
months ended December 31, 2015, there  were no defaults on any terms  of this  loan.

The  allowance  calculation  methodology  includes  further  segregation  of  loan  classes  into  risk  rating
categories.  The  borrower’s  overall  financial  condition,  repayment  sources,  guarantors  and  value  of
collateral,  if  appropriate,  are  evaluated  annually  for  commercial  loans  or  when  credit  deficiencies  arise,
such as delinquent loan payments, for commercial and consumer loans. Credit quality risk ratings include
regulatory  classifications  of  special  mention,  substandard,  doubtful  and  loss.  Loans  criticized  special
mention  have  potential  weaknesses  that  deserve  management’s  close  attention.  If  uncorrected,  the
potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects. Loans classified substandard
have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They include loans
that are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the
collateral  pledged,  if  any.  Loans  classified  doubtful  have  all  the  weaknesses  inherent  in  loans  classified
substandard  with  the  added  characteristic  that  collection  or  liquidation  in  full,  on  the  basis  of  current
conditions and facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible and are
charged to the allowance for loan losses. Loans  not  classified are rated  pass.

56

In addition, Federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically
review  DNB’s  allowance  for  credit  losses  and  may  require  DNB  to  recognize  additions  to  the  allowance
based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may
not  be  currently  available  to  management.  Based  on  management’s  comprehensive  analysis  of  the  loan
portfolio, management believes the current  level of  the allowance for  credit losses is appropriate.

Reserve  for  unfunded  loan  commitments The  reserve  for  unfunded  loan  commitments  represents
management’s  estimate  of  losses  inherent  in  off-balance  sheet  items  related  to  the  loan  portfolio  which
consist of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. The same risk and loss factors are applied to
both  funded  and  unfunded  commitments.  However,  the  bank  calculates  reserves  required  to  support
unfunded commitments in each loan category based only on the estimated likelihood (the probability) that
DNB would advance funds into a known troubled situation, and then sustain a loss on the newly advanced
funds. The amount of reserve for unfunded loan commitments, which is included in ‘‘Other liabilities’’ on
the balance sheet, was $188,000 and $166,000 at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Other Real Estate Owned & Other Repossessed Property Other real estate owned (‘‘OREO’’) and other
repossessed property consists of properties acquired as a result of, or in-lieu-of, foreclosure as well as other
repossessed property. Properties classified as OREO are initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell at
the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically
performed  by  management  and  the  assets  are  carried  at  the  lower  of  carrying  value  or  fair  value,  less
estimated costs to sell. Costs relating to the development or improvement of the properties are capitalized
and  costs  relating  to  holding  the  properties  are  charged  to  expense.  Real  estate  loans  in  the  process  of
foreclosure as of December 31, 2015 amounted to $1.0  million.

Office Properties and Equipment Office properties and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is
computed  using  the  straight-line  method  over  the  expected  useful  lives  of  the  assets.  The  costs  of
maintenance and repairs are expensed as they are incurred; renewals and betterments are capitalized. All
long-lived  assets  are  reviewed  for  impairment  when  conditions  indicate  that  impairment  may  have
occurred, based on the fair value of the asset. In addition, long-lived assets to be disposed of are generally
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell. Gains or losses on disposition of
properties and equipment are reflected  in operations.

Income Taxes DNB accounts for income taxes in accordance with the income tax accounting guidance

set forth in FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes.

The  income  tax  accounting  guidance  results  in  two  components  of  income  tax  expense:  current  and
deferred.  Current  income  tax  expense  reflects  taxes  to  be  paid  or  refunded  for  the  current  period  by
applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues.
DNB determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method,
the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax
bases  of  assets  and  liabilities,  and  enacted  changes  in  tax  rates  and  laws  are  recognized  in  the  period  in
which they occur.

DNB recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense. DNB
is no longer subject to examinations by taxing authorities for the years before January 1, 2012. DNB had no
unrecognized tax positions as of December 31, 2015.

Pension  Plan The  Bank  maintains  a  noncontributory  defined  benefit  pension  plan  covering
substantially all employees over the age of 21 with one year of service. Plan benefits are based on years of
service  and  the  employee’s  monthly  average  compensation  for  the  highest  five  consecutive  years  of  their
last  ten  years  of  service  (see  Note  13  —  Benefit  Plans).  The  Bank  recognizes  the  overfunded  or
underfunded  status  of  pension  and  other  post  retirement  benefit  plans  on  the  balance  sheet.  Gains  and
losses,  prior  service  costs  and  credits,  and  any  remaining  transition  amounts  that  have  not  yet  been

57

recognized  through  net  periodic  benefit  cost  will  be  recognized  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive
income, net of tax effects, until they are amortized as a component of  net  periodic cost.

Stock  Based  Compensation Stock  compensation  accounting  guidance  (FASB  ASC  Topic  718,
Compensation  —  Stock  Compensation)  requires  that  the  compensation  cost  relating  to  share-based
payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the grant
date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The stock compensation accounting guidance
covers  a  wide  range  of  share-based  compensation  arrangements  including  stock  options,  restricted  share
plans, performance-based awards, share  appreciation rights, and employee  share purchase plans.

The stock compensation accounting guidance requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be
calculated and recognized over the employees’ service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For
awards  with  graded-vesting,  compensation  cost  is  recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  requisite
service  period  for  the  entire  award.  A  Black  Sholes  model  is  used  to  estimate  the  fair  value  of  stock
options. The market price of DNB’s common stock at the date of grant have been used for restricted stock
awards granted up to and including 2014.

Preferred  Stock Preferred  stock  ranks  senior  to  common  stock  with  respect  to  dividends  and  has

preference in the event of liquidation.

Non-Cumulative  Perpetual  Preferred  Stock,  Series  2011A  —  The  shares  of  Non-Cumulative  Perpetual
Preferred  Stock,  Series  2011A  (‘‘Series  2011A  Preferred  Stock’’)  issued  to  the  United  States  Treasury
(‘‘U.S.  Treasury’’)  under  the  Small  Business  Lending  Fund  program  (‘‘SBLF’’)  are  accounted  for  as
permanent equity on DNB’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Proceeds received from the
issuance of the SBLF preferred stock were used to redeem, in 2011, the CPP preferred stock issued under
the TARP capital purchase plan.

The Series 2011A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends payable quarterly.
The dividend rate, which is calculated on the aggregate Liquidation Amount, was initially set at 3.874% per
annum based upon the current level of ‘‘Qualified Small Business Lending’’, or ‘‘QSBL’’ (as defined in the
Securities  Purchase  Agreement)  by  the  Bank.  The  dividend  rate  for  future  dividend  periods  will  be  set
based  upon  the  ‘‘Percentage  Change  in  Qualified  Lending’’  (as  defined  in  the  Securities  Purchase
Agreement) between each dividend period and the ‘‘Baseline’’ QSBL level. Such dividend rate may vary
from  1%  per  annum  to  5%  per  annum  for  the  second  through  tenth  dividend  periods  depending  on  the
volume of QSBL the Bank originates in future periods, and will be fixed at a rate between 1% per annum
to  7%  per  annum  and  remain  unchanged  up  to  four  and  one-half  years  following  the  funding  date  (the
eleventh  through  the  first  half  of  the  nineteenth  dividend  periods).  If  the  Series  2011A  Preferred  Stock
remains outstanding for more than four-and-one-half years, the dividend rate will be fixed at 9%. Prior to
that  time,  in  general,  the  dividend  rate  decreases  as  the  level  of  the  Bank’s  QSBL  increases.  At
December 31, 2013 and 2012 the dividend rate was 1.00%. Such dividends are not cumulative, but DNB
may  only  declare  and  pay  dividends  on  its  common  stock  (or  any  other  equity  securities  junior  to  the
Series 2011A Preferred Stock) if it has declared and paid dividends for the current dividend period on the
Series  2011A  Preferred  Stock,  and  will  be  subject  to  other  restrictions  on  its  ability  to  repurchase  or
redeem  common  stock  and  other  securities.  In  addition,  if  (i)  DNB  has  not  timely  declared  and  paid
dividends  on  the  Series  2011A  Preferred  Stock  for  six  dividend  periods  or  more,  whether  or  not
consecutive, and (ii) shares of Series 2011A Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of at
least  $13,000,000  are  still  outstanding,  the  Treasury  (or  any  successor  holder  of  Series  2011A  Preferred
Stock)  may  designate  two  additional  directors  to  be  elected  to  DNB’s  Board  of  Directors.  Preferred
dividends  paid  (declared  and  accrued)  is  deducted  from  net  income  for  computing  income  available  to
common stockholders and earnings per share computations. During 2015, DNB had redeemed all of the
Series 2011A Preferred Stock issued  to  the  U.S. Treasury.

Earnings Per Common Share (EPS) Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur
from  unvested  stock  awards  and  the  exercise  of  stock  options  and  warrants  computed  using  the  treasury
stock method. Stock options and awards for which the exercise price exceeds the average market price over
the  period  have  an  anti-dilutive  effect  on  EPS  and,  accordingly,  are  excluded  from  the  EPS  calculation.
Treasury shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations.

Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive income (loss) consists  of net income and other comprehensive
income  (loss).  Other  comprehensive  income  (loss)  includes  unrealized  gains  and  losses  on  securities
available  for  sale,  accretion  of  discount  on  securities 
to
held-to-maturity, and changes in the funded status of the pension plan of which the accumulated amounts
are also recognized as separate components of stockholders’ equity.

Treasury Stock Shares of the Company’s common stock which are repurchased on the open market are
classified  as  treasury  stock  on  the  consolidated  balance  sheet.  Treasury  stock  is  recorded  at  the  cost  at
which it was obtained in the open market, and at the date of reissuance, treasury stock on the consolidated
balance  sheet  is  reduced  by  the  cost  for  which  it  was  purchased,  using  a  weighted  average  price  of  the
remaining treasury stock.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance The Bank is the beneficiary of insurance policies on the lives of certain
officers  of  the  Bank.  The  Bank  has  recognized  the  amount  that  could  be  realized  under  the  insurance
policies as an asset in the consolidated  statements of financial condition.

Trust Assets Assets held by DNB First Wealth Management, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, in
fiduciary or agency capacities are not included in the consolidated financial statements since such items are
not assets of DNB. Operating income and expenses of DNB First Wealth Management are included in the
consolidated statements of income and  are  recorded on an accrual basis.

Advertising  and  Marketing  Costs DNB  follows  the  policy  of  charging  the  costs  of  advertising  and
marketing  to  expense  as  incurred.  Advertising  and  marketing  costs  were  approximately  $631,000  and
$662,000 for the years ended December  31, 2015  and December  31, 2014, respectively.

Significant  Concentrations  of  Credit  Risk Most  of  DNB’s  activities  are  with  customers  located
throughout  southeastern  Pennsylvania.  DNB’s  commercial  portfolio  has  a  concentration  in  loans  to
commercial  real  estate  investors  and  developers  as  defined  by  regulation.  There  are  numerous  risks
associated with commercial loans that could impact the borrower’s ability to repay on a timely basis. They
include, but are not limited to: the owner’s business expertise; changes in local, national, and in some cases

59

international  economies;  competition;  governmental  regulation;  and  the  general  financial  stability  of  the
borrowing entity.

DNB  attempts  to  mitigate  these  risks  by  completing  an  analysis  of  the  borrower’s  business  and
industry  history,  the  borrower’s  financial  position,  as  well  as  that  of  the  business  owner.  DNB  will  also
require  the  borrower  to  periodically  provide  financial  information  on  the  operation  of  the  business  over
the life of the loan. In addition, most commercial loans are secured by assets of the business or those of the
business  owner,  which  can  be  liquidated  if  the  borrower  defaults,  along  with  the  personal  surety  of  the
business owner.

Subsequent  Events Management  has  evaluated  events  and  transactions  occurring  subsequent  to
December  31,  2015  for  items  that  should  potentially  be  recognized  or  disclosed  in  these  Consolidated
Financial  Statements.  The  evaluation  was  conducted  through  the  date  these  financial  statements  were
issued.

As  of  December  31,  2015,  there  were  nineteen  GSE  mortgage-backed  securities,  twenty-three
municipalities,  seventeen  corporate  bonds,  twelve  agency  notes,  and  seventeen  collateralized  mortgage
obligations  which  were  in  an  unrealized  loss  position.  DNB  does  not  intend  to  sell  these  securities  and
management of DNB does not expect to be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of its
cost basis. Management has reviewed all of these securities and believes that DNB will collect all principal
and interest that is due on debt securities on a timely basis. Management does not believe any individual
unrealized loss as of December 31, 2015 represents an other-than-temporary impairment. DNB reviews its
investment portfolio on a quarterly basis judging each investment for OTTI. The OTTI analysis focuses on
the duration and the amount a particular security  is below book.

Factors affecting the market price include credit risk, market risk, interest rates, economic cycles, and
liquidity  risk.  The  magnitude  of  any  unrealized  loss  may  be  affected  by  the  relative  concentration  of  the
Corporation’s investment in any one issuer or industry. DNB has established policies to reduce exposure
through diversification of concentration of the investment portfolio including limits on concentrations to
any one issuer and as such, management  believes  the investment portfolio is  prudently  diversified.

The  declines  in  value  are  related  to  a  change  in  interest  rates  and/or  subsequent  change  in  credit
spreads  required  for  these  issues  affecting  market  price.  All  issues  are  performing  and  are  expected  to
continue  to  perform  in  accordance  with  their  respective  contractual  terms  and  conditions.  Short  to
intermediate  average  durations  and  in  certain  cases  monthly  principal  payments  should  reduce  further
market value  exposure to increases in rates.

Collateralized  mortgage  obligations  GSE There  are  seventeen  impaired  securities  classified  as
collateralized mortgage obligations, twelve of which were impaired for more than 12 months. The largest
unrealized loss of a security in this group is 4.83% of its book value. All of these securities were issued and
insured by FNMA, FHLMC or GNMA. DNB receives monthly principal and interest payments on all of
these  securities  on  a  timely  basis  and  none  of  these  agencies  has  ever  defaulted  on  mortgage-backed
principal  or  interest.  DNB  anticipates  a  recovery  in  the  market  value  as  the  securities  approach  their
maturity  dates  or  if  interest  rates  decline  from  December  31,  2015  levels.  Management  concluded  that
these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2015.

State and municipal tax-exempt There are twenty-three impaired securities in this category, which are
comprised  of  intermediate  to  long-term  municipal  bonds,  twelve  of  which  were  impaired  for  more  than
12  months.  The  largest  unrealized  loss  of  a  security  in  this  group  is  5.12%  of  its  book  value.  All  of  the
issues  carry  an  ‘‘A+’’  or  better  underlying  credit  support  and  were  evaluated  on  the  basis  on  their

62

underlying  fundamentals;  included  but  not  limited  to  annual  financial  reports,  geographic  location,
population and debt ratios. In certain cases, options for calls reduce the effective duration and in turn the
future  market  value  fluctuations.  All  issues  are  performing  and  are  expected  to  continue  to  perform  in
accordance with their respective contractual terms and conditions. There have not been disruptions of any
payments,  associated  with  any  of  these  municipal  securities.  These  bonds  are  conservative  in  nature  and
the value decline is related to the changes in interest rates that occurred since the time of purchase and
subsequent changes in spreads affecting the market prices. Thirteen of the impaired municipals are school
districts  that  have  PA  school  district  credit  enhancement  programs  and  ten  of  those  also  have  additional
insurance.  The  remaining  ten  are  one  insured  school  district,  four  uninsured  school  districts,  and  five
uninsured  townships,  all  of  which  have  strong  underlying  ratings.  Management  concluded  that  these
securities were not other-than-temporarily  impaired  at December 31, 2015.

US Government agency obligations There are twelve impaired securities classified as agencies, none
of which were impaired for more than 12 months. The largest unrealized loss of a security in this group is
0.81%  of  its  book  value.  All  of  these  securities  were  issued  and  insured  by  FHLB,  FNMA,  or  FHLMC.
DNB has received timely interest payments on all of these securities and none of these agencies has ever
defaulted on their bonds. DNB anticipates a recovery in the market value as the securities approach their
maturity dates. Management concluded that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired at
December 31, 2015.

GSE  mortgage-backed  securities There  are  nineteen  impaired  bonds  classified  as  GSE  mortgage-
backed securities, three of which were impaired for more than 12 months. The largest unrealized loss of a
security in this group is 2.10% of its book value. All of these securities were issued and insured by FNMA,
FHLMC or GNMA. DNB receives monthly principal and interest payments on all of these securities on a
timely basis and none of these agencies has ever defaulted on mortgage-backed principal or interest. DNB
anticipates a recovery in the market value as the securities approach their maturity dates or if interest rates
decline  from  December  31,  2015  levels.  Management  concluded  that  these  securities  were  not
other-than-temporarily impaired at December  31, 2015.

Corporate bonds There were seventeen impaired bonds classified as corporate bonds, two of which
were impaired for more than 12 months. The largest unrealized loss of a security in this group is 3.55% of
its book value. The bonds are investment grade and the value decline is related to the changes in interest
rates  that  occurred  since  the  time  of  purchase  and  subsequent  changes  in  spreads  affecting  the  market
prices. All of the issues carry a ‘‘BBB’’ or better underlying credit support and were evaluated on the basis
on  their  underlying  fundamentals;  included  but  not  limited  to  annual  financial  reports,  rating  agency
reports, capital strength and debt ratios. DNB anticipates a recovery in the market value as the securities
approach  their  maturity  dates  or  if  interest  rates  decline  from  December  31,  2015  levels.  Management
concluded that these securities were  not other-than-temporarily impaired  at December 31,  2015.

In determining that the securities giving rise to the previously mentioned unrealized losses were not
other than temporary, the Corporation evaluated the factors cited above, which the Corporation considers
when  assessing  whether  a  security  is  other-than-temporarily  impaired.  In  making  these  evaluations  the
Corporation must exercise considerable judgment. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the actual
results  will  not  differ  from  the  Corporation’s  judgments  and  that  such  differences  may  not  require  the
future  recognition  of  other-than-temporary  impairment  charges  that  could  have  a  material  affect  on  the
Corporation’s financial position and results of operations. In addition, the value of, and the realization of
any loss on, an investment security is subject to numerous  risks as cited  above.

Some of DNB’s directors and executive officers, and their related interests had transactions with the
Bank in the ordinary course of business. All loan transactions were made on substantially the same terms,
such  as  collateral  and  interest  rates,  as  those  prevailing  at  the  time  for  comparable  transactions.  In  the
opinion of management, these transactions do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability nor
do the present other unfavorable features. It is anticipated that similar transactions will be entered into the
future.  DNB  had  $70,000  in  related  party  loans  at  December  31,  2014.  After  $8,000  in  advances  and
$11,000 in payments on these loans during 2015, DNB had $67,000 in related party loans at December 31,
2015.

The  Bank  leases  office  space  from  Headwaters  Associates,  a  Pennsylvania  general  partnership  for
which William S. Latoff (who passed away on January 11, 2016), the Company’s Chairman of the Board
and  Chief  Executive  Officer  during  2015,  was  one  of  two  general  partners.  Pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the
Lease,  the  Bank  paid  Headwaters  an  aggregate  of  $139,000  in  2015,  and  $306,000  in  2014.  As  a  general
partner in Headwaters, Mr. Latoff received $69,000 and $153,000 in 2015 and 2014, respectively, as a result
of the lease.

(7) FHLBP ADVANCES AND SHORT-TERM BORROWED  FUNDS

The schedule below provides a summary of short-term borrowings that consist of securities sold under
agreements  to  repurchase,  federal  funds  purchased  and  other  borrowings.  Securities  sold  under
agreements to repurchase are overnight borrowings between DNB and its commercial depositors and are
subject to daily repricing. Federal Funds purchased from correspondent banks mature in one business day
and reprice daily based on the Federal Funds rate. As of December 31, 2015, DNB’s total availability under
Federal Funds lines was $46.0 million. Other short-term borrowings consist of credit available through the
Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  of  Pittsburgh  (FHLBP)  and  the  Federal  Reserve  Discount  Window.  DNB
maintains a line-of-credit (Open Repo Plus) with the FHLBP which is a revolving term commitment used
on  an  overnight  basis.  The  term  of  this  commitment  may  not  exceed  364  days  and  it  reprices  daily  at
market rates. Under terms of a blanket collateral agreement with the FHLBP, the line-of-credit and long
term advances are secured by FHLBP stock and qualifying loan receivables, principally real estate secured
loans.  As  of  December  31,  2015  DNB’s  total  availability  was  $257.2  million  with  the  FHLBP  and
availability at the Federal Reserve Discount Window is dependent upon the market value of the collateral
delivered to the Federal Reserve at the  time funds are borrowed.

As  of  December  31,  2015  and  December  31,  2014,  DNB  had  $32.4  million  and  $19.2  million  of
repurchase agreements, respectively. In conjunction with these repurchase agreements, $33.1 million and
$19.6 million of state and municipal securities were sold on an overnight basis as of December 31, 2015 and
December 31, 2014, respectively, which represents 102% of the repurchase agreement amount. DNB may
be  required  to  provide  additional  collateral  based  on  the  fair  value  of  the  underlying  securities.  Daily
procedures are followed to ensure repurchase agreements  are  properly  collateralized.

In  addition  to  short-term  borrowings,  DNB  maintains  borrowing  arrangements  with  the  FHLBP  to
meet  borrowing  needs  exceeding  30  days.  The  advances  are  collateralized  by  loans,  and  a  lien  on  the
Bank’s FHLBP stock. There were $381.6 million in loans used as collateral for FHLBP borrowings. After a
collateral  weighting  of  69%,  that  amount  totaled  $263.8  million.  Below,  certain  advances  are  convertible
term  advances  and  are  callable,  at  the  FHLBP’s  option,  at  various  dates.  If  an  advance  is  called  by  the
FHLBP, DNB has the option of repaying the borrowing, or continuing to borrow at three month Libor plus
14 basis points. In addition to the $30.0 million of borrowings from the FHLBP at December 31, 2015, the

73

FHLBP had issued letters of credit, on DNB’s behalf, totaling $30.0 million against DNB’s available credit
lines. These letters of credit were used to secure public  deposits as required by law.

(9) SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES AND NOTES

DNB has two issuances of junior subordinated debentures (the ‘‘debentures’’) as follows. The majority
of the proceeds of each issuance were invested in DNB’s subsidiary, to increase the Bank’s capital levels.
The  junior  subordinated  debentures  issued  in  each  case  qualify  as  a  component  of  capital  for  regulatory
purposes.  DNB  Capital  Trust  I  and  II  are  special  purpose  Delaware  business  trusts,  which  are  not
consolidated.

DNB Capital Trust I

DNB’s  first  issuance  of  junior  subordinated  debentures  was  on  July  20,  2001.  This  issuance  of
debentures are at floating rates 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 $5,155,000
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  at  floating  rates  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 was fixed at 6.56% for the first 5 years and is now adjusting at a rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 1.77%)
capital  preferred  securities.  The  proceeds  of  these  securities  were  used  by  the  Trust,  along  with  DNB’s
capital contribution, to purchase $4,124,000 principal amount of DNB’s floating rate junior subordinated
debentures. The preferred securities have been redeemable since May 23, 2010. The preferred securities
must be redeemed upon maturity of the debentures  on May 23, 2035.

On  March  5,  2015,  DNB  Financial  Corporation  entered  into  a  Subordinated  Note  Purchase
Agreement  (the  ‘‘Agreement’’)  with  an  accredited  investor  under  which  the  Company  issued  a
$9.75  million  subordinated  note  (the  ‘‘Note’’)  to  the  investor.  The  Note  has  a  maturity  date  of  March  6,
2025, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.25% per annum for the first 5 years and then will float at the
Wall  Street  Journal  Prime  rate  plus  1.00%,  provided  that  the  interest  rate  applicable  to  the  outstanding
principal balance will at no time be less than 3.0%  or greater than 5.75% per annum.

75

DNB may, at its option, beginning with the first interest payment date after March 6, 2019, and on any
interest  payment  date  thereafter,  redeem  the  Note,  in  whole  or  in  part,  at  par  plus  accrued  and  unpaid
interest to the date of redemption. The Note is not subject to repayment at the option of the noteholder.

The  Note  is  unsecured  and  ranks  junior  in  right  of  payment  to  DNB’s  senior  indebtedness  and  to

DNB’s obligations to its general creditors  and qualifies  as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes.

(10) FAIR VALUES

FASB  ASC  Topic  820,  Fair  Value  Measurements  and  Disclosures,  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.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under  FASB ASC  Topic 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.

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 $5.0 million at December 31, 2015. Of
this,  $307,000  had  specific  valuation  allowances  of  $114,000,  leaving  a  fair  value  of  $193,000  as  of
December 31, 2015. In addition, DNB had $931,000 in impaired loans that were partially charged down by

78

$160,000, leaving $771,000 at fair value as of December 31, 2015. The total fair value of impaired loans at
December 31, 2015 was $964,000.

Impaired  loans  had  a  carrying  amount  of  $9.1  million  at  December  31,  2014.  Of  this,  $850,000  had
specific  valuation  allowances  of  $273,000,  leaving  a  fair  value  of  $577,000  at  December  31,  2014.  In
addition,  DNB  had  $2.9  million  in  impaired  loans  that  were  partially  charged  down  by  $526,000,  leaving
$2.3 million at fair value as of December 31, 2014. The total fair value of impaired loans at December 31,
2014 was $2.9 million.

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  are  classified  as
OREO  and  other  repossessed  property  are  initially  recorded  at  fair  value  less  cost  to  sell  at  the  date  of
foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed
by management and the assets are carried 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  $2.6  million  of  such  assets  at  December  31,  2015,
which consisted of $2.4 million in OREO and $165,000 in other repossessed property. DNB had $901,000
of  such  assets  at  December  31,  2014,  which  consisted  of  $837,000  in  OREO  and  $64,000  in  other
repossessed property. Subsequent to the repossession of these assets, DNB wrote down the carrying values
of certain assets by $154,000 in OREO during the year ended December 31, 2015. DNB did not write down
the carrying values during the year ending  December 31, 2014.

Below is management’s estimate of the fair value of all financial instruments, whether carried at cost
or  fair  value  on  DNB’s  consolidated  balance  sheet.  The  carrying  amounts  and  estimated  fair  values  of
financial instruments at December 31,  2015 and December 31, 2014 are as  follows:

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.

Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents,  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.

Loans  Held-for-Sale  (Carried  at  Lower  of  Cost  or  Fair  Value) The  fair  value  of  loans  held-for-sale  is
determined, when possible, using quoted secondary-market prices. If no such quotes prices exist, the fair
value  of  a  loan  is  determined  using  quoted  prices  for  a  similar  loan  or  loans,  adjusted  for  the  specific
attributes of that loan.

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
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

80

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 would be indicative of  the value  negotiated in an actual  sale.

The  fair  value  for  non-accrual  loans  not  based  on  fair  value  of  collateral  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  these  non-accrual  loans,  based  on  the  probability  of  loss  and  the
expected time to recovery.

Deposits and Repurchase Agreements The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition,
equal  to  the  amount  payable  on  demand  at  the  reporting  date  (that  is,  their  carrying  amounts).  The
carrying amounts of variable-rate money market accounts, savings accounts, and interest checking accounts
approximate  their  fair  values  at  the  reporting  date.  Fair  values  for  fixed-rate  CDs  are  estimated  using  a
discounted  cash  flow  calculation  that  applies  interest  rates  currently  being  offered  on  certificates  to  a
schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on  time  deposits.

Short-Term  Borrowings The  carrying  amounts  of  federal  funds  purchased,  borrowings  under
repurchase  agreements,  and  other  short-term  borrowings  maturing  within  90  days  approximate  their  fair
values. Fair values of other short-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based
on DNB’s current incremental borrowing rates  for similar types of  borrowing  arrangements.

Long-Term  Debt The  fair  value  of  DNB’s  fixed  rate  long-term  borrowings  which  includes  FHLBP
advances,  subordinated  note,  junior  subordinated  debentures,  and  other  borrowings  is  estimated  using  a
discounted cash flow analysis based on the open market’s rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
The carrying amounts of variable-rate long-term borrowings approximate their fair values at the reporting
date.

Restricted  Stock The  carrying  amount  of  restricted  investment  in  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  stock,
Federal Reserve stock and ACBB stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of
such securities.

Accrued  Interest  Receivable  and  Payable The  carrying  amount  of  accrued  interest  receivable  and

accrued interest payable approximates its  fair  value.

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.

As  of  December  31,  2015,  DNB  had  no  material  unrecognized  tax  benefits  or  accrued  interest  and
penalties.  It  is  DNB’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 2012 through 2014 were open
for examination as of December 31, 2015.

DNB had net state operating loss carryovers with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania of $7.4 million
and $6.8 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively for which a full valuation allowance has been
established. These carryovers will begin  to  expire  in 2021.

(12) EARNINGS PER COMMON 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 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.  Treasury  shares  are  not  deemed  outstanding  for  earnings
per  share  calculations.  There  were  no  anti-dilutive  stock  options  outstanding,  and  no  anti-dilutive  stock

(13) BENEFIT PLANS

Pension Plan The Bank maintains a defined benefit pension plan (the ‘‘Plan’’) covering all employees,
including officers, who have been employed for one year and have attained 21 years of age. Prior to May 1,
1985, an individual must have attained the age of 25 and accrued one year of service. The Plan provides
pension benefits to eligible retired employees at 65 years of age equal to 1.5% of their average monthly pay
multiplied  by  their  years  of  accredited  service  (maximum  40  years).  The  accrued  benefit  is  based  on  the
monthly average of their highest five consecutive years of their last ten years of service. The Plan generally
covers only full-time employees.

Effective  December  31,  2003,  DNB  amended  its  Plan  to  curtail  future  eligibility  and  so  that  no
participants  will  earn  additional  benefits  under  the  Plan  after  December  31,  2003.  As  a  result  of  this
amendment, no further service or compensation was credited under the Plan after December 31, 2003. The
Plan,  although  frozen,  will  continue  to  provide  benefit  payments  and  eligible  employees  can  still  earn
vesting credits until retirement.

The Society of Actuaries released new mortality tables in 2014 which the Company first utilized in its
pension  plan  remeasurements  at  December  31,  2014.  The  change  in  mortality  assumption  resulted  in  an
increase to the Plan’s accumulated benefit obligation of $100,000.

The following table summarizes the changes in the fair value of plan assets, changes in the projected
benefit  obligation  (PBO),  the  funded  status  of  both  the  accumulated  benefit  obligation  (ABO)  and  the
PBO, and the weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations for the pension plan at
December 31, 2015 and 2014. Amounts recognized at December 31, 2015 and 2014 are reflected in other
assets,  and  in  accrued  expenses  and  other  liabilities  on  the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Financial
Condition.  The  estimation  of  DNB’s  PBO  associated  with  these  plans  considers  various  actuarial
assumptions  for  mortality  rates  and  discount  rates.  As  of  December  31,  2015,  DNB  continued  to  utilize
mortality assumptions published by the Society of Actuaries in October 2014 that were first adopted as of
December 31, 2014, adjusted to reflect  observed  and anticipated future mortality.

Equity  securities  consist  mainly  of  equity  common  trust  funds  and  mutual  funds.  Fixed  income
securities consist mainly of fixed income common trust funds and individual securities. Pension plan assets
are  invested  with  a  moderate  growth  objective,  with  target  asset  allocations  of  approximately  50  -  60%
bonds and cash and approximately 40 - 50% in stocks. As of December 31, 2015, the plan held 44.9% of its

In  selecting  the  expected  long-term  rate  of  return  on  assets  used  for  the  Plan,  DNB  considered  the
average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits of the
Plan. This included considering the asset allocation and the expected returns likely to be earned over the
life of the plan. This basis is consistent with the prior year. The discount rate is the rate used to determine
the present value of DNB’s future benefit  obligations for its  pension.

Retirement and Death Benefit Agreement During 1999, the Bank and Henry F. Thorne, its then current
Chief  Executive  Officer  (the  ‘‘Executive’’),  entered  into  a  Death  Benefit  Agreement  providing  for
supplemental death and retirement benefits for him (the ‘‘Supplemental Plan’’). In 2003, the Supplemental
Plan was replaced by a Retirement and  Death Benefit Agreement (the ‘‘Replacement Plan’’).

The  Replacement  Plan  provides  that  the  Bank  and  the  Executive  share  in  the  rights  to  the  cash
surrender  value  and  death  benefits  of  a  split-dollar  life  insurance  policy  (the  ‘‘Policy’’)  The  policy  is
designed  to  provide  the  Executive,  upon  attaining  age  65,  with  projected  annual  after-tax  payments  of
approximately $35,000. In addition, the Policy is intended to provide the Executive with a projected death
benefit of $750,000.

In July 2008, DNB commenced making monthly payments of $3,658 to the Executive. The remaining
liability  under  the  plan  was  $739,000  and  $739,000  as  of  December  31,  2015  and  2014,  respectively.  The
annual expense for the same respective periods was $54,000 and  $53,000.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (William S. Latoff passed
away on January 11, 2016) DNB had a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (also known as a SERP)
for its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, William S. Latoff. The purpose of the SERP was to provide
Mr. Latoff a pension supplement beginning  at  age  70 to compensate him for the loss of retirement plan

87

funding opportunities from his other business interests because of his commitments to DNB as Chairman
and CEO. The liability based on the contract will be $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2016. This amount
will be paid out in 2019.

401(k) Retirement Savings Plan The Bank has adopted a retirement savings 401(k) plan. Participants
are  permitted  to  authorize  pre-tax  savings  contributions  to  a  separate  trust  established  under  the  401(k)
plan, subject to limitations on deductibility of contributions imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. The
plan  allows  after-tax  contributions  to  be  made  as  well.  The  contributions  are  subject  to  the  same
limitations. Management evaluates discretionary matching contributions each quarter based upon DNB’s
financial performance. DNB made no matching contributions to the 401(k) plan in 2015  and 2014.

Profit  Sharing  Plan The  Bank  maintains  a  Profit  Sharing  Plan  for  eligible  employees.  The  plan
provides  that  the  Bank  make  contributions  equal  to  3%  of  the  eligible  participant’s  W-2  wages.  DNB’s
related  expense  associated  with  the  Profit  Sharing  Plan  was  $262,000  and  $246,000  in  2015  and  2014,
respectively.

Stock Option Plan DNB has a Stock Option Plan for employees and directors. Under the plan, options
(both  qualified  and  non-qualified)  to  purchase  a  maximum  of  793,368  (as  adjusted  for  subsequent  stock
dividends) shares of DNB’s common  stock could be issued to employees  and directors.

Under the plan, option exercise prices must equal the fair market value of the shares on the date of
option grant and the option exercise period may not exceed ten years. Vesting of options under the plan is
determined  by  the  Plan  Committee.  There  were  354,090  and  354,090  shares  available  for  grant  at
December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. All options currently outstanding are immediately exercisable.
DNB  fully  recorded  all  stock  option  expense  by  the  end  of  2014.  DNB  had  no  expense  in  2015  and
expensed $51,000 in 2014.

The  award  agreement  provides  that,  upon  issuance  of  the  plan  shares,  the  grantee  may  elect  to  pay
federal withholding taxes on the award in cash or by electing to apply some of the awarded shares at their
fair market value, or both. Under the Stock Option Plan, 99,086 shares were exercised in 2015. The shares
awarded from the NQ cashless exercises resulted in an increase in shares outstanding of 16,391. There was
a cash equivalent of 6,533 shares used to pay all applicable taxes on the transactions. Stock option activity

Other  Stock-Based  Compensation DNB  maintains  an  Incentive  Equity  and  Deferred  Compensation
Plan. The plan provides that up to 243,101 shares of common stock may be granted, at the discretion of the
Board, to individuals of DNB. 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 fair market value
of shares. Awards are being amortized to expense over a three or four-year cliff-vesting period. Restricted
stock awards are non-participating shares.

For  the  twelve-month  periods  ended  December  31,  2015  and  2014,  $342,000  and  $216,000  was
amortized to expense. At December 31, 2015, approximately $1.2 million in additional compensation will
be  recognized  over  the  weighted  average  remaining  service  period  of  approximately  2.51  years.  At
December 31, 2015, 91,169 shares were reserved for future grants under the plan. 24,000 restricted shares
vested  in  2015.  The  shares  awarded  from  the  cashless  exercises  resulted  in  an  increase  in  shares

89

outstanding of 13,048. There was a cash equivalent of 10,952 shares used to pay all applicable taxes on the
transactions. Stock grant activity is indicated below.

(14) COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT  LIABILITIES  AND OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

In the normal course of business, various commitments and contingent liabilities are outstanding, such
as guarantees and commitments to extend credit, borrow money or act in a fiduciary capacity, which are
not  reflected  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  Management  does  not  anticipate  any  significant
losses as a result of these commitments.

DNB had outstanding stand-by letters of credit totaling $3.2 million and unfunded loan and lines of
credit commitments totaling $116.4 million at December 31, 2015, of which, $103.3 million were variable
rate  and  $13.1  million  were  fixed  rate.  The  amount  of  reserve  for  unfunded  loan  commitments  at
December 31, 2015 was $188,000. DNB had outstanding stand-by letters of credit totaling $2.2 million and
unfunded  loan  and  lines  of  credit  commitments  totaling  $101.7  million  at  December  31,  2014,  of  which,
$94.6 million were variable rate and $7.1 million were fixed rate. The amount of reserve for unfunded loan
commitments at December 31, 2014  was  $166,000.

These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the
amount recognized on the balance sheet. The exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by
the  party  to  the  financial  instrument  for  commitments  to  extend  credit  and  stand-by  letters  of  credit  is
represented by the contractual amount. Management uses the same credit policies in making commitments
and conditional obligations as it does  for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Stand-by letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by DNB to guarantee the performance
or repayment of a financial obligation of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued
to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risks involved in issuing letters of credit
are  essentially  the  same  as  those  involved  in  extending  loan  facilities  to  customers.  DNB  holds  various
forms of collateral to support these commitments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of
any  condition  established  in  the  contract.  Commitments  generally  have  fixed  expiration  dates  or  other
termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. DNB evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on
a  case-by-case  basis.  The  amount  of  collateral,  if  any,  obtained  upon  the  extension  of  credit,  usually
consists of real estate, but may include securities, property or other assets.

DNB maintains borrowing arrangements with correspondent banks and the FHLBP, as well as access
to  the  discount  window  at  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank  of  Philadelphia  to  meet  short-term  liquidity  needs.
Through these relationships, DNB has available  credit of  approximately $303.2  million.

Assets  held  by  DNB  First  Wealth  Management  in  a  fiduciary,  custody  or  agency  capacity  at
December 31, 2015 totaled $191.5 million. These assets are not assets of DNB, and are not included in the
consolidated financial statements.

90

DNB is a party to a number of lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. While any litigation
causes an element of uncertainty, management is of the opinion that the liability, if any, resulting from the
actions, will not have a material effect  on  the accompanying  financial statements.

Under the Federal Reserve’s Regulation H, the Bank may not, without regulatory approval, declare or
pay a dividend to DNB if the total of all dividends declared in a calendar year exceeds the total of (a) the
Bank’s net income for that year and (b) its retained net income for the preceding two calendar years, less
any required transfers to additional paid-in  capital or to a fund for  the retirement  of  preferred stock.

In July of 2013 the respective U.S. federal banking agencies issued final rules implementing Basel III
and the Dodd-Frank Act capital requirements to be fully phased in on a global basis on January 1, 2019.
The new regulations establish a new tangible common equity capital requirement, increase the minimum
requirement  for  the  current  Tier  1  risk-weighted  asset  (‘‘RWA’’)  ratio,  phase  out  certain  kinds  of
intangibles  treated  as  capital  and  certain  types  of  instruments  and  change  the  risk  weightings  of  certain
assets  used  to  determine  required  capital  ratios.  The  new  common  equity  Tier  1  capital  component
requires capital of the highest quality — predominantly composed of retained earnings and common stock
instruments.  For  community  banks  such  as  DNB  First,  National  Association,  a  common  equity  Tier  1
capital  ratio  4.5%  became  effective  on  January  1,  2015.  The  new  capital  rules  also  increased  the  current
minimum  Tier  1  capital  ratio  from  4.0%  to  6.0%  beginning  on  January  1,  2015.  In  addition,  in  order  to
make  capital  distributions  and  pay  discretionary  bonuses  to  executive  officers  without  restriction,  an
institution must also maintain greater than 2.5% in common equity attributable to a capital conservation
buffer  to  be  phased  in  from  January  1,  2016  until  January  1,  2019.  The  new  rules  also  increase  the  risk
weights for several categories of assets, including an increase from 100% to 150% for certain acquisition,
development  and  construction  loans  and  more  than  90-day  past  due  exposures.  The  new  capital  rules

93

maintain  the  general  structure  of  the  prompt  corrective  action  rules,  but  incorporate  the  new  common
equity Tier 1 capital requirement and the increased Tier 1 RWA requirement into the prompt corrective
action framework.

The  Bank  will  remain  well  capitalized  under  the  implementation  of  Basel  III,  which  was  effective
January  1,  2015.  In  assessing  a  bank’s  capital  adequacy,  regulators  also  consider  other  factors  such  as
interest rate risk exposure; liquidity, funding and market risks; quality and level of earnings; concentrations
of  credit,  quality  of  loans  and  investments;  risks  of  any  nontraditional  activities;  effectiveness  of  bank
policies; and management’s overall ability  to  monitor and control  risks.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require DNB to maintain
certain  minimum  amounts  and  ratios  as  set  forth  below.  Management  believes  that  DNB  and  the  Bank
meet  all  capital  adequacy  requirements  to  which  they  are  subject.  The  Bank  is  considered  ‘‘Well
Capitalized’’  under  the  regulatory  framework  for  prompt  corrective  action.  To  be  categorized  as  Well
Capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum ratios as set forth below. There are no conditions or events
since  the  most  recent  regulatory  notification  that  management  believes  would  have  changed  the  Bank’s
category. Actual capital amounts and  ratios are  presented in the following table.

Report of Independent Registered Public  Accounting Firm

18MAR201522205319

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of DNB Financial Corporation
Downingtown, Pennsylvania

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of DNB Financial
Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively the ‘‘Corporation’’) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and
the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows
for  the  years  then  ended.  These  consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the
Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting
Oversight  Board  (United  States).  Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain
reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  of  material  misstatement.  The
Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis
for  designing  audit  procedures  that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances,  but  not  for  the  purpose  of
expressing  an  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  Corporation’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting.
Accordingly,  we  express  no  such  opinion.  An  audit  also  includes  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence
supporting  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements,  assessing  the  accounting  principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects,  the  financial  position  of  DNB  Financial  Corporation  and  its  subsidiaries  at  December  31,  2015
and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Item 9A.

Controls and Procedures

DNB’s interim 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
December 31, 2015, 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 interim Chief Executive Officer and the
Chief Financial Officer have concluded that DNB’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of
December 31, 2015.

Management’s Report on Internal Control  Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting. Management, with the participation of our interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer,  assessed  the  effectiveness  of  DNB’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  at  December  31,
2015.  To  make  this  assessment,  management  used  the  criteria  set  forth  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring
Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (COSO)  in  Internal  Control  —  Integrated  Framework  (2013).
Management believes that, as of December 31, 2015, DNB’s internal control over financial reporting was
effective. This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of DNB’s independent
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report
was  not  subject  to  attestation  by  DNB’s  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm  pursuant  to  the
exemption provided to issuers that are  not  ‘‘large accelerated filers’’  or ‘‘accelerated filers’’.

There  have  been  no  changes  in  internal  controls  over  financial  reporting  that  occurred  during  our
fourth  quarter  of  2015  that  have  materially  affected,  or  are  reasonably  likely  to  materially  affect,  our
internal control over financial reporting.
