DNB
FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of DNB Financial
Corporation (referred to herein as the "Corporation" or "DNB") and its
subsidiary, DNB First, National Association (the "Bank") have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore do not include
certain information or footnotes necessary for the presentation of financial
condition, statement of operations and statement of cash flows required by
generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management,
the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which consist of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results
for the unaudited periods. Prior amounts not affecting net income are
reclassified when necessary to conform with current period classifications. The
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005, are not
necessarily indicative of the results, which may be expected for the entire
year. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Annual Report and report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
In
December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure ("SFAS 148"). This statement amends SFAS
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting
for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the
disclosure requirements of Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in
both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported
results. This Statement announces that "in the near future, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board plans to consider whether it should propose changes
to the U.S. standards on accounting for stock-based compensation". DNB has
complied with the disclosure requirements of this statement. It is expected that
SFAS No. 148 will require the expensing of all stock-based compensation at some
point in the future. Had DNB determined compensation cost based on the fair
value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, DNB's net
income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts
indicated below:

NOTE
2: EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic
earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential
dilution that could occur from the conversion of common stock equivalents and is
computed using the treasury stock method. The difference between basic and
diluted EPS, for DNB, is solely attributable to stock options. Stock options 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
calculation. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, there were not any
anti-dilutive stock options outstanding. For the three months ended March 31,
2004, 109,765 outstanding stock options were excluded because such options were
anti-dilutive. EPS, dividends per share and weighted average shares outstanding
have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the 5% stock dividend paid in
December 2004. The dilutive effect of stock options on basic earnings per share
is presented below.

5: JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
DNB
has two issuances of junior subordinated debentures (the "debentures") as
follows:
DNB
Capital Trust I
DNB’s
first issuance of junior subordinated debentures was on July 20, 2001. This
issuance of debentures are floating rate and were issued to DNB Capital Trust I,
a Delaware business trust in which DNB owns all of the common equity. DNB
Capital Trust I issued $5.0 million of floating rate (6 month Libor plus 3.75%,
with a cap of 12%) capital preferred securities ("TruPS") 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
are redeemable by DNB on or after July 25, 2006, or earlier in the event of
certain adverse tax or bank regulatory developments. The preferred securities
must be redeemed upon maturity of the debentures on July 25, 2031.
Effective
March 31, 2004, as a result of the adoption of FIN 46, DNB deconsolidated the
Trust, resulting in a change in the characterization of the underlying
consolidated debt obligations from the previous trust preferred securities to
junior subordinated debentures. The result was an increase in junior
subordinated debentures of $155,000. The junior subordinated debentures qualify
as a component of capital for regulatory purposes.
DNB
Capital Trust II
On
March 30, 2005, the Registrant completed a $4 million Trust Preferred Securities
private offering. The Registrant issued the Trust Preferred Securities through
its wholly owned Delaware business trust subsidiary, DNB Capital Trust II, to a
qualified institutional buyer. The Trust Preferred Securities bear an interest
rate of 6.56% for the first 5 years and a rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 1.77%
thereafter, payable quarterly. The proceeds of these securities were used by the
Trust, along with DNB's capital contribution, to purchase $4.1 million principal
amount of DNB's floating rate junior subordinated debentures. The preferred
securities are redeemable by DNB on or after May 23, 2010, or earlier in the
event of certain adverse tax or bank regulatory developments. The preferred
securities must be redeemed upon maturity of the debentures on May 23, 2035.
NOTE
6: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which requires the
measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based
compensation payments. SFAS 123(R) is effective for all interim and annual
periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of SFAS 123(R) on its operating results and financial condition. See Note
1 to the Financial Statements for DNB’s disclosure of the retrospective impact
of fair value accounting for stock options. DNB has granted stock option in the
past, however, all stock options issued have vested immediately. The adoption of
Statement No. 123R, will not have a negative impact on earnings for any option
issued prior to December 31, 2005. Effective January 1, 2006, DNB does not
anticipate recording expense significantly different than what is presented in
Note 1 to the financial statements.
ITEM
2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
DESCRIPTION
OF DNB'S BUSINESS AND BUSINESS STRATEGY
DNB
Financial Corporation is a bank holding company whose bank subsidiary, DNB
First, National Association (the “Bank”) is a nationally chartered commercial
bank with trust powers, and a member of the FDIC. DNB provides a broad range of
banking services to individual and corporate customers through its nine full
service community offices located throughout Chester County, Pennsylvania. The
Bank opened a new lending and wealth management center in Newtown Square,
Pennsylvania, representing the Bank’s initial entry into Delaware County,
Pennsylvania, and has signed an agreement to lease an additional branch office
in downtown West Chester, Pennsylvania, the county seat for Chester County, but
does not expect to take occupancy or begin operations there until after
September 1, 2005. DNB is a community banking organization that focuses its
lending and other services on businesses and consumers in the local market area.
DNB funds all these activities with retail and business deposits and borrowings.
Through its DNB Advisors division, the Bank provides wealth management and trust
services to individuals and businesses. The Bank and its subsidiary, DNB
Financial Services, Inc. through the name “DNB Financial Services,” 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. Secondary sources of interest
income are DNB’s investment portfolio, which provide 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.
DNB
has embarked on a strategy called “Helping Our Customers Succeed”. The key goal
of this strategy is to become the “Bank of Choice” in Chester County by
delivering consistent, high quality customer service to businesses and
individuals. We focus our efforts on assisting our customers in ways that will
help them become successful. To that end, DNB continues to make appropriate
investments in all areas of our business, including people, technology,
facilities and marketing.
Previously,
management announced that it had developed a comprehensive plan designed to
reposition its balance sheet and improve core earnings. As part of the plan,
management announced its intentions to substantially reduce the size of its
investment portfolio and expand its loan portfolio through new originations,
increased loan participations, as well as strategic loan and lease receivable
purchases. Management also intends to reduce the absolute level of borrowings
with cash flows from existing loans and investments as well as from new core
deposit growth.
For
the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, DNB has grown its loan and lease
portfolio by $10.0 million and reduced the overall investment securities
portfolio by $7.8 million. The absolute level of borrowings increased by $11.2
million, however, this was mostly attributable to growth in lower costing
customer repurchase agreements.
DNB
took advantage of the current rate environment to restructure a significant
portion of its investment securities portfolio. Management sold $73.3 million of
structured securities, government agency stock, longer-term municipal
securities, as well as corporate securities. DNB is investing the majority of
the proceeds into higher yielding agency mortgage-backed securities, agency
bonds and municipal securities. Management believes that the restructured
portfolio will result in more stable earnings and cash flow, as well as improved
value metrics.
DNB's
financial objectives are focused on growing earnings per share on a diluted
basis and return on average equity. In order to achieve its financial
objectives, DNB’s 5-Year Strategic Plan focuses on the following strategies:
• Grow
loans and diversify the mix
• Reduce
the size of the investment portfolio
• Reduce
long-term borrowings
• Enhance
the branch network and alternative delivery options
• Focus
on profitable customer segments
• Grow
and diversify non-interest income
Management’s
strategies are designed to direct DNB’s tactical investment decisions and
support financial objectives. DNB’s most significant revenue source continues to
be net interest income, defined as total interest income less interest expense.
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.
RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS
The
most recent Federal Reserve Board report as of March 9, 2005 suggested that the
nation’s economy continued to expand at a moderate pace since the report of
December 1, 2004. All twelve of the Federal Reserve districts reported expanding
economic activity.
National
Trends
Overall
consumer spending was steady to up moderately, with a number of districts noting
sluggish auto sales. Retailers were mostly satisfied with current inventory
levels and were generally optimistic about the outlook. Travel and tourism
activity were characterized as strong, with few exceptions. Reports from most
other service industries also showed improvement. Nearly all districts reported
continued expansion in manufacturing activity. Housing markets and residential
construction activity were described as robust in most areas, but commercial
real estate markets were mixed. Most districts reported little change in overall
loan demand, though a few districts indicated some pickup in the last
quarter.
Labor
markets strengthened in almost all districts; while wages continued to increase
at a moderate pace. Employers in many districts reported ongoing pressures from
higher benefit costs. Many districts reported increased difficulty in locating
skilled workers for at least some industries. A number of districts reported
increases in prices for manufactures and materials, but others noted some easing
of input costs. Prices of consumer goods and services were mixed but relatively
flat, on balance.
Local
Trends
Business
conditions in the Third District (Philadelphia) improved during the quarter.
Manufacturers reported rises in orders and shipments. Retail sales of general
merchandise were up modestly. Auto sales rose slightly from January to February
but remained below 2004’s level. Banks and other lending institutions reported
that lending continued on an upward trend. The commercial real estate market
conditions were described as steady. Residential real estate agents indicated
that existing home sales were running at a steady pace, with continuing price
appreciation. Homebuilders generally reported a pickup in sales in February 2005
after a slowdown in December 2004 and January 2005.
The
Third District business community generally expects further improvement in the
region’s economy in the months ahead, subject to any dampening effects that
anticipated rate hikes may have. Manufacturers expect increases in shipments and
orders during the next six months. Retailers anticipate moderate year-over-year
gains during the spring sales season, but auto dealers say the outlook is
uncertain. Bankers forecast a continued rise in overall lending, with gains in
business and home equity lending. Commercial real estate companies expect market
conditions to improve during the year. Residential real estate agents foresee a
pickup in home sales during the spring, but they expect sales for the year as a
whole to be somewhat below last year.
Overall,
both the national and regional economies showed signs of improvement; however,
the uncertainty regarding the future of interest rates and the increase in
prices of other goods and services indicate a moderate to high level of
risk.
MATERIAL
CHALLENGES, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
The
following is a summary of changes to material challenges, risks and
opportunities DNB has faced during the first three months in 2005.
Interest
Rate Risk Management.
Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in net interest income due
to changes in interest rates. DNB considers interest rate risk 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 the Bank’s interest rate risk management is to evaluate
the interest rate risk included in certain on and off balance sheet accounts,
determine the level of risk appropriate given the Bank’s business strategy,
operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance
objectives, and manage the risk consistent with approved guidelines. Through
such management, the Bank seeks to reduce the vulnerability of its operations to
changes in interest rates. The Bank’s Asset Liability Committee (the “ALCO”) is
responsible for reviewing the Bank’s asset/liability policies and interest rate
risk position and making decisions involving asset liability considerations. The
ALCO meets on a monthly basis and reports trends and the Bank’s interest rate
risk position to the Board of Directors. The extent of the movement of interest
rates is an uncertainty that could have a negative impact on the earnings of the
Bank.
The
largest component of DNB’s total income is net interest income, and the majority
of DNB’s financial instruments are comprised of interest rate-sensitive assets
and liabilities with various terms and maturities. The primary objective of
management is to maximize net interest income while minimizing interest rate
risk. Interest rate risk is derived from timing differences in the re-pricing of
assets and liabilities, loan prepayments, deposit withdrawals, and differences
in lending and funding rates. The Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) actively
seeks to monitor and control the mix of in-terest rate-sensitive assets and
interest rate-sensitive -liabilities.
One
measure of interest rate risk is net interest income simulation analysis. The
ALCO utilizes simulation analysis, whereby the model estimates the variance in
net interest income with a change in interest rates of plus or minus 300 basis
points over a twelve-month period. Given today’s rising interest rate
environment, our simulation model measures the effect that a 100 through 300
basis point increase in rates or the effect a 100 basis point decline would have
on earnings. Recent simulations indicate that net interest income would be
within policy guidelines regardless of the direction of market
rates.
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, principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from loan sales,
sales and maturities of mortgage-backed and investment securities, and FHLB
advances. The Bank uses the funds generated to support its lending and
investment activities as well as any other demands for liquidity such as deposit
outflows. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities
are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, mortgage prepayments, loan and
security sales and the exercise of call features are greatly influenced by
general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
The
objective of DNB’s asset/liability management function is to maintain consistent
growth in net interest income within DNB’s policy limits. This objective is
accomplished through the management of liquidity and interest rate risk, as well
as customer offerings of various loan and deposit products. DNB maintains
adequate liquidity to meet daily funding requirements, anticipated deposit
withdrawals, or asset opportunities in a timely manner. Liquidity is also
necessary to meet obligations during unusual, extraordinary or adverse operating
circumstances, while avoiding a significant loss or cost. DNB’s foundation for
liquidity is 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.
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.
Competition.
In
addition to the challenges related to the interest rate environment, community
banks in Chester County have been experiencing increased competition from large
regional and international banks entering DNB’s marketplace through mergers and
acquisitions. Competition for loans and deposits has negatively affected DNB’s
net interest margin. To compensate for the increased competition, DNB, along
with other area community banks, has aggressively sought and marketed customers
who have been disenfranchised by these mergers. To attract these customers, DNB
has introduced new deposit products, such as the Partnership Banking Program,
the Platinum Account, the Executive and Employee Package as well as the Business
Package. In addition, DNB has introduced Market Managers and Personal Bankers to
serve the special banking needs of its clients.
Material
Trends and Uncertainties. The
industry is experiencing an on-going and widespread trend of consolidation in
response to shrinking margins, as well as competitive and economic challenges.
In an effort to broaden market share by capitalizing on operational
efficiencies, larger institutions have been acquiring smaller regional and
community banks and thrifts. Chester County has witnessed many recent mergers
due to attractive demographics, commercial expansion and other growth
indicators. As a result of these factors, the operating environment is very
competitive as Chester County hosts over 45 banks, thrifts and credit unions. In
addition, brokerage firms, mutual fund companies and boutique investment firms
are prevalent, given the county’s attractive demographics. This intense
competition continually puts pressures on DNB’s margins and operating results as
competitors offer a full range of loan, deposit and investment products and
services. In addition, many of these competitors are much larger than DNB and
consistently outspend the Bank in marketing to attract new customers and buy
market share. DNB anticipates these pressures will continue to adversely affect
operating results.
Other
Material Challenges, Risks and Opportunities.
As a financial institution, DNB's earnings are significantly affected by general
business and economic conditions. These conditions include short-term and
long-term interest rates, inflation, monetary supply, fluctuations in both debt
and equity capital markets, and the strength of the United States economy and
local economics in which we operate. For example, an economic downturn, increase
in unemployment, or other events that negatively impact household and/or
corporate incomes could decrease the demand for DNB's loan and non-loan products
and services and increase the number of customers who fail to pay interest or
principal on their loans. Geopolitical conditions can also affect DNB's
earnings. Acts or threats of terrorism, actions taken by the United States or
other governments in response to acts or threats of terrorism and our military
conflicts including the aftermath of the war with Iraq, could impact business
conditions in the United States.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the
United States of America. Generally accepted accounting principles are complex
and require management to apply significant judgment to various accounting,
reporting and disclosure matters. Management must use assumptions and estimates
to apply these principles where actual measurement is not possible or practical.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
In
management's opinion, the most critical accounting policies and estimates
impacting DNB's consolidated financial statements are listed below. These
policies are critical because they are highly dependent upon subjective or
complex judgments, assumptions and estimates. Changes in such estimates may have
a significant impact on the financial statements. For a complete discussion of
DNB's significant accounting policies, see the footnotes to DNB Consolidated
Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, incorporated
in DNB's 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
1.
Determination
of the allowance for credit losses.
Credit loss allowance policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by
management which may have a material impact on the carrying value of net loans
and, potentially, on the net income recognized by DNB from period to period. The
allowance for credit losses is based on management’s ongoing evaluation of the
loan and lease portfolio and reflects an amount considered by management to be
its best estimate of the amount necessary to absorb known and inherent losses in
the portfolio. Management considers a variety of factors when establishing the
allowance, such as the impact of current economic conditions, diversification of
the portfolios, delinquency statistics, results of loan review and related
classifications, and historic loss rates. In addition, certain individual loans
which management has identified as problematic are specifically provided for,
based upon an evaluation of the borrower’s perceived ability to pay, the
estimated adequacy of the underlying collateral and other relevant factors. In
addition, regulatory authorities, as an integral part of their examinations,
periodically review the allowance for credit losses. They may require additions
to the allowance based upon their judgments about information available to them
at the time of examination. Although provisions have been established and
segmented by type of loan, based upon management’s assessment of their differing
inherent loss characteristics, the entire allowance for credit losses is
available to absorb further losses in any category.
Management
uses significant estimates to determine the allowance for credit losses. Because
the allowance for credit losses is dependent, to a great extent, on conditions
that may be beyond DNB’s control, management’s estimate of the amount necessary
to absorb allowance for credit losses and actual credit losses could differ.
DNB’s current judgment is that the valuation of the allowance for credit losses
remains appropriate at March 31, 2005. For a description of DNB’s accounting
policies in connection with its allowance for credit losses, see, “Allowance for
Credit Losses”, in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
2.
Realization
of deferred income tax items.
Estimates of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities make up the asset
category titled “net deferred taxes”. These estimates involve significant
judgments and assumptions by management, which may have a material impact on the
carrying value of net deferred tax assets for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
basis, as well as operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date. A valuation allowance would be established against deferred tax
assets when in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such
deferred tax assets will not become available. For a more detailed description
of these items, refer to Footnote 11 (Federal Income Taxes) to DNB’s audited
consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
3.
Other-than temporary impairment of investment securities. FASB
Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities states, in part: for individual securities classified as either
available-for-sale or held-to-maturity, an enterprise shall determine whether a
decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other than temporary.
For example, if it is probable that the investor will be unable to collect all
amounts due according to the contractual terms of a debt security not impaired
at acquisition, an other-than-temporary impairment shall be considered to have
occurred. If the decline in fair value is judged to be other than temporary, the
cost basis of the individual security shall be written down to fair value as a
new cost basis and the amount of the write-down shall be included in earnings
(that is, accounted for as a realized loss). While FASB Statement No. 115 uses a
debt security as an example, similar considerations exist for investments in
marketable equity securities. Accordingly, judgment is required in determining
whether factors exist that indicate that an impairment loss has been incurred at
the end of the reporting period. These judgments are based on subjective as well
as objective factors, including knowledge and experience about past and current
events and assumptions about future events. The following are examples of such
factors.
|
•
|
Fair
value is significantly below cost and the decline is attributable to
adverse conditions specifically related to the security or to specific
conditions in an industry or in a geographic area, the decline has existed
for an extended period of time or Management does not possess both the
intent and the ability to hold the security for a period of time
sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair
value. |
|
•
|
The
security has been downgraded by a rating
agency. |
|
•
|
The
financial condition of the issuer has
deteriorated. |
|
•
|
Dividends
have been reduced or eliminated, or scheduled interest payments have not
been made. |
|
•
|
The
entity recorded losses from the security subsequent to the end of the
reporting period. |
The
Footnotes to DNB's most recent Consolidated Financial Statements as set forth in
DNB's Annual Report 10-K identify other significant accounting policies used in
the development and presentation of its financial statements. This discussion
and analysis, the significant accounting policies, and other financial statement
disclosures identify and address key variables and other qualitative and
quantitative factors that are necessary for an understanding and evaluation of
DNB and its results of operations.
FINANCIAL
CONDITION
DNB's
total assets were $430.5 million at March 31, 2005 compared to $441.1 million at
December 31, 2004.
Investment
Securities.
Investment securities at March 31, 2005 were $90.9 million compared to $169.8
million at December 31, 2004. The decrease in investment securities was
primarily due $83.3 million in normal principal pay-downs, maturities and
investment sales offset by the purchase of $4.7 million in investment securities
as well as a $300,000 downward mark to market adjustment relating to the AFS
investment portfolio. At March 31, 2005, DNB had a receivable for $71.1 million
out of the $83.3 million of the investment securities sold that had not settled.
Gross
Loans and Leases.
Loans and leases were $242.5 million at March 31, 2005 compared to $232.6
million at December 31, 2004. DNB continued to grow its loan and lease portfolio
during the quarter and increased total loans and leases by $10.0 million or
4.3%. Residential real estate loans, primarily variable rate, grew $5.9 million,
while commercial loans and commercial leases grew $2.4 million and $1.1 million,
respectively. In order to continue building its loan portfolio and diversify its
credit risk, DNB has plans to open a loan production office in Newtown Square,
Delaware County, Pennsylvania during the early part of May 2005.
Investment
Securities sold, not settled. Investment
securities sold, not settled were $71.1 million at March 31, 2005. As part of
its previously announced balance sheet repositioning, DNB took advantage of the
current rate environment to restructure a significant portion of its investment
securities portfolio. Overall, Management sold $73.3 million of structured
securities, government agency stock, longer-term municipal securities, as well
as corporate securities, resulting in an aggregate net $699,000 pre-tax loss, or
$461,000 after-tax. DNB is investing the majority of the proceeds into higher
yielding agency mortgage-backed securities, agency bonds and municipal
securities. Management believes that the restructured portfolio will result in
more stable earnings and cash flow, as well as improved value metrics. For the
remaining nine months of 2005, the higher yielding investment securities that
were purchased with the proceeds are projected, at their current rates of
income, to add $415,000 pre-tax, or $285,000 after-tax, which will offset a
majority of the loss recognized during the first quarter. Management expects the
net impact resulting from these investment transactions on DNB’s 2005 earnings
will approximate an after-tax loss of $176,000, or $0.09 per share on a diluted
basis; however, this outcome is subject to a number of contingencies including,
for example, DNB’s marginal tax rate for the year and the actual rates of income
ultimately earned by the new investments.
Deposits.
Deposits were $302.1 million at March 31, 2005 compared to $323.1 million at
December 31, 2004. Deposits decreased $21.0 million or 6.5% during the first
three months in 2005. Most of this decline was attributable to larger deposits
relating to government and estate accounts that were withdrawn during the
period.
Borrowings.
Borrowings were $101.9 million at March 31, 2005 compared to $90.6 million at
December 31, 2004. The increase of $11.3 million, or 12.4% was primarily related
to an increase of $7.8 million in repurchase agreements and $4.1 million in
junior subordinated debentures. The increase in repurchase agreements was the
result of expanding DNB’s cash management services by focusing on commercial
customers and providing them with the ability to sell excess funds to DNB
through repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements have helped to compliment
DNB’s existing funding sources while providing low cost borrowings to DNB’s
balance sheet. The increase in junior subordinated debentures was related to a
private offering of $4.1 million Trust Preferred Securities, which was completed
during the first quarter of 2005 and is discussed in more detail in Footnote 5
(“Junior Subordinated Debentures”) on page 8.
Stockholder’s
Equity.
Stockholders' equity was $24.5 million at March 31, 2005 compared to $24.7
million at December 31, 2004. The decrease in stockholder’s equity was primarily
a result of cash dividends paid and a increase in accumulated other
comprehensive loss, offset by cash proceeds received on the issuance of common
stock resulting from stock option exercises and year-to-date earnings. The
Corporation's common equity position at March 31, 2005 exceeds the regulatory
required minimums as disclosed on page 20.

income was $79,000 and earnings per share on a diluted basis was $.04 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to net income of $669,000 and
earnings per share on a diluted basis of $.33 for the same period ending March
31, 2004. The significant reduction in earnings for the first quarter of 2005
was primarily due to investment portfolio restructuring costs totaling $699,000,
which is described in detail below.
Investment
Portfolio Restructure
As
part of its previously announced balance sheet repositioning, DNB took advantage
of the current rate environment to restructure a significant portion of its
investment securities portfolio. Management sold $73.3 million of structured
securities, government agency stock, longer-term municipal securities, as well
as corporate securities, resulting in an aggregate net $699,000 pre-tax loss, or
$461,000 after-tax. DNB is investing the majority of the proceeds into higher
yielding agency mortgage-backed securities, agency bonds and municipal
securities. Management believes that the restructured portfolio will result in
more stable earnings and cash flow, as well as improved value metrics. For the
remaining nine months of 2005, the higher yielding investment securities that
were purchased with the proceeds are projected, at their current rates of
income, to add $415,000 pre-tax, or $285,000 after-tax, which will offset a
majority of the loss recognized during the first quarter. Management expects the
net impact resulting from these investment transactions on DNB’s 2005 earnings
will approximate an after-tax loss of $176,000, or $0.09 per share on a diluted
basis; however, this outcome is subject to a number of contingencies including,
for example, DNB’s marginal tax rate for the year and the actual rates of income
ultimately earned by the new investments.
NET
INTEREST INCOME
DNB's
earnings performance is primarily dependent upon its level of net interest
income, which is the excess of interest income over interest expense. Interest
income includes interest earned on loans, investments and federal funds sold and
interest-earning cash, as well as loan fees and dividend income earned on
investment securities. Interest expense includes interest on deposits, FHLB
advances, repurchase agreements, Federal funds purchased and other borrowings.
Net
interest income was $3.3 million for the three-months ended March 31, 2005,
compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in net
interest income was primarily attributable to an increase of interest and fees
on loans and leases, which was a result of growth in the loan and lease
portfolio. The average balances on the loan and lease portfolio was $234.7
million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to $204.4
million for the same period in 2004. The yield on interest-earning assets for
the quarter was 5.21%, compared to 5.33% for the same period in 2004. Interest
expense for the quarter was $1.9 million compared to $1.7 million for the same
period in 2004. The increase of $199,000 was primarily attributable to higher
interest rates resulting from a 175 basis point increase in the federal funds
rate over the last year. The costs of deposits increased to 1.09% for the
quarter, compared to .86% for the same period in 2004. The net interest margin
for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 3.36%, compared to 3.55% for the
same period in 2004.
Interest
on loans and leases was $3.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31,
2005, compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2004. The average balance
of loans and leases was $234.7 million with an average yield of 6.27% for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to an average balance of $204.4
million with an average yield of 6.57% for the same period in 2004. The increase
in the average balance is the result of management’s increased origination
efforts towards growing DNB’s loan and lease portfolio. DNB has added additional
commercial loan officers and business bankers to aggressively originate loans.
The decrease in yield is primarily the result of a low and declining interest
rate environment relating to long-term rates in recent years as well as the
impact of competition for loans in Chester County. Please refer to the
discussion on “Competition” on page 12.
Interest
and dividends on investment securities was $1.5 million for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2005, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in
2004. The average balance on investment securities was $165.4 million with an
average yield of 4.01% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 compared
to $168.2 million with an average yield of 3.99% for the same period in 2004.
The decrease in the average balance was part of DNB’s strategic plan to reduce
the size of its investment portfolio. The nominal increase in yield was
primarily due to slower prepayment speeds on mortgage related products, which
led to lower levels of premium amortization on such securities.
Interest
on deposits was $832,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005,
compared to $617,000 for the same period in 2004. The average balance on
interest-bearing deposits was $309.5 million with an average rate of 1.09% for
the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to $286.8 million with an
average rate of .87% for the same period in 2004. The increase in the average
balance was primarily the result of increased deposit relationships. The
increase in rate was primarily attributable to higher interest rates resulting
from a 175 basis points increase in the federal funds rate over the last
year.
Interest
on borrowings was $1.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005,
compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2004. The average balance on
borrowings was $93.2 million with an average rate of 4.57% for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2005 compared to $89.4 million with an average rate of
4.83% for the same period in 2004. The increase in the average balance was
attributable to growth in customer repurchase agreements, which was offset by
the repayment of FHLB borrowings. The decrease in rate was associated with lower
costing repurchase agreements that replaced higher costing FHLB advances.
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 and yields on agency-preferred stock that
have a 70% dividend received deduction 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 old 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.
The
Rate / Volume Analysis presented in the table below is on a tax-equivalent and
GAAP basis. The reconciling difference between the Rate / Volume analysis
presented on a tax-equivalent basis and the Rate / Volume analysis presented on
a GAAP basis is disclosed below as well. Although DNB believes that the non-GAAP
financial measures included in the Rate / Volume Analysis table enhance
investor’s understanding of DNB’s business and performance, and DNB management
uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating DNB’s performance, these
non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.

ALLOWANCE
FOR CREDIT LOSSES
To
provide for known and inherent losses in the loan and lease portfolios, DNB
maintains an allowance for credit losses. Provisions for credit losses are
charged against income to increase the allowance when necessary. Loan and lease
losses are charged directly against the allowance and recoveries on previously
charged-off loans and leases are added to the allowance. In establishing its
allowance for credit losses, management considers the size and risk exposure of
each segment of the loan and lease portfolio, past loss experience, present
indicators of risk such as delinquency rates, levels of non-accruals, the
potential for losses in future periods, and other relevant factors. Management’s
evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio generally includes reviews of problem
borrowers of $100,000 or greater. Consideration is also given to examinations
performed by regulatory agencies, primarily the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (“OCC).
In
establishing and reviewing the allowance for adequacy, Management establishes
the allowance for credit losses in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States and the guidance provided in the Securities and
Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 102 (SAB 102). Its methodology
for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key
elements which include: specific allowances for identified problem loans;
formula allowances for commercial and commercial real estate loans; and
allowances for pooled homogenous loans as well as an allowance for un-funded
commitments. As a result, management has taken into consideration factors and
variables which may influence the risk of loss within the loan portfolio,
including: (i) trends in delinquency and non-accrual loans; (ii) changes in the
nature and volume of the loan portfolio; (iii) effects of any changes in lending
policies; (iv) experience, ability, and depth of management/quality of loan
review; (v) national and local economic trends and conditions; (vi)
concentrations of credit; and (vii) effect of external factors on estimated
credit losses. The unallocated portion of the allowance is intended to provide
for probable losses that are not otherwise identifiable such as (i) the effect
of expansion into new markets or lines of business that are not as familiar as
DNB’s current market or business lines; (ii) the risk that the information we
receive from our borrowers is inaccurate or misleading and (iii) the
non-quantifiable impact that a terrorist action or threat of action may have on
a particular industry. In addition, DNB reviews historical loss experience for
the commercial real estate, commercial, residential real estate, home equity and
consumer installment loan pools to determine a historical loss factor. The
historical loss factors are then applied to the current portfolio balances to
determine the required reserve percentage for each loan pool based on risk
rating.
DNB’s
percentage of allowance for credit losses to total loans and leases was 1.83% at
March 31, 2005 compared to 1.91% at December 31, 2004. Management’s opinion is
that the allowance for credit losses was adequate and provided for known and
inherent credit losses.
The
following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for credit losses for
the periods indicated.

NON-INTEREST
INCOME
Total
non-interest income includes service charges on deposit products; fees received
in connection with the sale of non-depository products and services, including
fiduciary and investment advisory services offered through DNB Advisors;
securities brokerage products and services and insurance brokerage products and
services offered through DNB Financial Services; and other sources of income
such as increases in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance
("BOLI"), net gains on sales of investment securities and other real estate
owned ("OREO") properties. In addition, DNB receives fees for cash management,
merchant services, debit cards, safe deposit box rentals, check cashing, lockbox
services and similar activities.
Non-interest
income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 was $56,000, compared to
$788,000 for the same period in 2004. The $732,000 decline was primarily due to
a decrease of $745,000 of investment security losses / gains. The other items
representing non-interest income mentioned above was $755,000 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2005, which was relatively consistent with
the $742,000 from the same period in 2004.
NON-INTEREST
EXPENSE
Non-interest
expense includes salaries & employee benefits, furniture & equipment,
occupancy, professional & consulting fees as well as printing &
supplies, marketing and other less significant expense items. Non-interest
expense for the quarter was $3.4 million, compared to $3.2 million for the same
period in 2004. The $280,000 increase was related to higher salary expenses and
related taxes associated with additions to the Bank’s lending staff, as well as
increased professional & consulting fees.
INCOME
TAXES
An
income tax benefit of $154,000 was recognized for the three-month period ended
March 31, 2005 compared to a $154,000 tax expense for the same period in 2004.
Income tax expense (benefit) for each period differs from the amount determined
at the statutory rate of 34% due to tax-exempt income on loans and investment
securities, DNB's ownership of BOLI policies, tax credits recognized on
low-income housing limited partnership being greater than taxable income, along
with the reversal of a portion of a previously recorded valuation allowance of
$29,000.
ASSET
QUALITY
Non-performing
assets are comprised of non-accrual loans and leases, loans and leases
delinquent over ninety days and still accruing and Other Real Estate Owned
("OREO"). Non-accrual loans and leases are loans and leases for which the
accrual of interest ceases when the collection of principal or interest payments
is determined to be doubtful by management. It is the policy of DNB to
discontinue the accrual of interest when principal or interest payments are
delinquent 90 days or more (unless the loan principal and interest are
determined by management to be fully secured and in the process of collection),
or earlier, if considered prudent. Interest received on such loans is applied to
the principal balance, or may, in some instances, be recognized as income on a
cash basis. A non-accrual loan or lease may be restored to accrual status when
management expects to collect all contractual principal and interest due and the
borrower has demonstrated a sustained period of repayment performance in
accordance with the contractual terms. OREO consists of real estate acquired by
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. OREO is typically carried at the
lower of cost or estimated fair value, less estimated disposition costs. Any
significant change in the level of non-performing assets is dependent, to a
large extent, on the economic climate within DNB's market area.
The
following table sets forth those assets that are: (i) placed on non-accrual
status, (ii) contractually delinquent by 90 days or more and still accruing,
(iii) troubled debt restructurings other than those included in items (i) and
(ii), and (iv) OREO as a result of foreclosure or voluntary transfer to DNB. DNB
did not have any OREO at the end of all reported periods.

respectively. DNB also had loans of approximately $4,000, $36,000 and $145,000
that were more than 90 days delinquent, but still accruing interest at March 31,
2005, December 31, 2004, and March 31, 2004, respectively. If contractual

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For
a financial institution, liquidity is a measure of the ability to fund
customers' needs for loans and deposit withdrawals. Management regularly
evaluates economic conditions in order to maintain a strong liquidity position.
One of the most significant factors considered by management when evaluating
liquidity requirements is the stability of DNB's core deposit base. In addition
to cash, DNB maintains a portfolio of short-term investments to meet its
liquidity requirements. DNB has historically relied on cash flow from operations
and other financing activities. Liquidity is provided by investing activities,
including the repayment and maturing of loans and investment securities.
At
March 31, 2005, DNB had $46.4 million in un-funded loan commitments. Management
anticipates these commitments will be funded by means of normal cash flows.
Certificates of deposit greater than $100,000 scheduled to mature in one year or
less from March 31, 2005 totaled $42.7 million. Management believes that the
majority of such deposits will be reinvested with DNB and that certificates that
are not renewed will be funded by a reduction in Federal funds sold or by
pay-downs and maturities of loans and investments.
At
the end of March 2005, DNB completed a private offering of $4 million Trust
Preferred Securities. DNB invested the majority of the proceeds into the Bank to
increase the Bank’s capital levels and legal lending limit.
Effective
April 11, 2005, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a final rule to allow the
continued inclusion of outstanding and prospective issuances of trust preferred
securities in the tier 1 capital of bank holding companies, subject to stricter
quantitative limits and qualitative standards. The Board also limited the
aggregate amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock, trust preferred
securities, and minority interests in the equity accounts of certain
consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “restricted core capital elements”)
included in the tier 1 capital of bank holding companies to a percentage of the
sum of core capital elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax
liability. The quantitative limits will become effective after a five-year
transition period at the end of the first quarter of 2009. In addition, the
Board proposed to revise the qualitative standards for capital instruments
included in regulatory capital consistent with longstanding Board policies.
These proposals were intended to address supervisory concerns, competitive
equity considerations, and changes in generally accepted accounting principles.
Management does not anticipate that the Federal Reserve Board's proposal will
have a material adverse impact on DNB, the Bank or their regulatory capital
ratio compliance.

In
addition, the Federal Reserve Bank (the "FRB") leverage ratio rules require bank
holding companies to maintain a minimum level of "primary capital" to total
assets of 5.5% and a minimum level of "total capital" to total assets of 6%. For
this purpose, (i) "primary capital" includes, among other items, common stock,
certain perpetual debt instruments such as eligible Trust preferred securities,
contingency and other capital reserves, and the allowance for loan losses, (ii)
"total capital" includes, among other things, certain subordinated debt, and
"total assets" is increased by the allowance for loan losses. DNB's primary
capital ratio and its total capital ratio are both well in excess of FRB
requirements.
REGULATORY
MATTERS
Dividends
payable to the Corporation by the Bank are subject to certain regulatory
limitations. Under normal circumstances, the payment of dividends in any year
without regulatory permission is limited to the net profits (as defined for
regulatory purposes) for that year, plus the retained net profits for the
preceding two calendar years.
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
report may contain statements that are not of historical facts and may pertain
to future operating results or events or management's expectations regarding
those results or events. These are "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements may
include, but are not limited to, statements about our plans, objectives,
expectations and intentions and other statements contained in this report that
are not historical facts. When used in this report, the words "expects",
"anticipates", "intends", "plans", "believes", "seeks", "estimates", or words of
similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs, such as "will", "would",
"should", "could", or "may" are generally intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties,
and actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such
statements. For example, actual results may be adversely affected by the
following possibilities: (1) competitive pressures among financial institutions
may increase; (2) changes in interest rates may reduce banking interest margins;
(3) general economic conditions and real estate values may be less favorable
than contemplated; (4) adverse legislation or regulatory requirements may be
adopted; (5) other unexpected contingencies may arise; (6) DNB may change one or
more strategies described in this document; or (7) management's evaluation of
certain facts, circumstances or trends and the appropriate responses to them may
change. These forward-looking statements are inherently subject to significant
business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of
which are either beyond our control or not reasonably capable of predicting at
this time. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to
assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are
subject to change. Actual results may differ materially from the results
discussed in these forward-looking statements. Readers of this report are
accordingly cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
DNB disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any of the
forward-looking statements herein, whether in response to new information,
future events or otherwise.
ITEM
3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
To
measure the impacts of longer-term asset and liability mismatches beyond two
years, DNB utilizes Modified Duration of Equity and Economic Value of Equity
("EVE") models. The modified duration of equity measures the potential price
risk of equity to changes in interest rates. A longer modified duration of
equity indicates a greater degree of risk to rising interest rates. Because of
balance sheet optionality, an EVE analysis is also used to dynamically model the
present value of asset and liability cash flows, with rates ranging up or down
200 basis points. The economic value of equity is likely to be different if
rates change. Results falling outside prescribed ranges require action by
management. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, DNB's variance in the
economic value of equity as a percentage of assets with an instantaneous and
sustained parallel shift of 200 basis points was within its negative 3%
guideline, as shown in the table below. The change as a percentage of the
present value of equity with a 200 basis point increase or decrease at March 31,
2005 and December 31, 2004, was within DNB's negative 25% guideline.

4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
DNB’s
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of March 31, 2005, the end of the period covered
by this report, in accordance with the requirements of Exchange Act Rule
240.13a-15(b). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the
Chief Financial Officer have concluded that DNB’s current disclosure controls
and procedures are effective and timely, providing them with material
information relating to DNB and its subsidiaries required to be disclosed in the
report DNB files under the Exchange Act.
Management
of DNB is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control
over financial reporting for DNB, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
There
was no change in the DNB’s “internal control over financial reporting (as such
term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during
the quarter ended March 31, 2005, that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, DNB’s internal control over financial
reporting.
