NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These interim financial statements are prepared without audit and reflect all
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly
the financial position of DCB Financial Corp. (the "Corporation") at September
30, 2000, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods
presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions of Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not purport to contain all
necessary financial disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances, and should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements, and notes thereto, of the
Corporation for the year ended December 31, 1999, included in its 1999 annual
report. Refer to the accounting policies of the Corporation described in the
notes to financial statements contained in the Corporation's 1999 annual report.
The Corporation has consistently followed these policies in preparing this Form
10-Q.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Delaware County Bank and Trust
Company (the "Bank"). The financial statements of the Bank include accounts of
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, D.C.B. Corporation and 362 Corp. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Corporation's revenues, operating income and assets are primarily from the
banking industry. The Corporation operates 15 offices in Delaware and Union
Counties, Ohio. Loan customers include a wide range of individuals, businesses
and other organizations. Major portions of loans are secured by various forms of
collateral including real estate, business assets, consumer property and other
items. The Corporation's primary funding source is deposits from customers in
its market area. The Corporation also purchases investments, operates a trust
department and engages in mortgage banking operations. All of the Corporation's
operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable
operating segment.

To prepare financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available
information. These estimates and assumptions affect amounts reported in the
financial statements and disclosures provided; future results could differ. The
collectibility of loans, fair value of financial instruments and status of
contingencies are particularly subject to change.

Income tax expense is the sum of current-year income tax due or refundable and
change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences
between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities computed using
enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets
to the amount expected to be realized.

Earnings per share computations are based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the year. The weighted average number
of shares outstanding was 4,178,200 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999.

NOTE 2 - SECURITIES (Continued)

Substantially all mortgage-backed securities are backed by pools of mortgages
that are insured or guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association
("FNMA"), the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") and the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC").

At September 30, 2000, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer,
other than the U.S. government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10%
of shareholders' equity.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at September 30,
2000, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ
from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay
obligations. Mortgage-backed securities are shown separately since they are not
due at a single maturity date.

Impaired loans are not material in any period presented.


NOTE 5 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH
  OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

Various contingent liabilities are not reflected in the financial statements,
including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business.
In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the
ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect
on financial condition or results of operations.

The Corporation grants residential, consumer, and commercial loans to customers
located primarily in Delaware, Union and surrounding counties in Ohio. Most
loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets,
consumer assets and residences.

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet financing needs of its customers. The contract
amount of these instruments is not included in the consolidated financial
statements. At September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the contract amount of
these instruments, which primarily include commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit, totaled approximately $49,446 and $65,580. Of these
commitments, fixed-rate commitments totaled $4,683 and $4,670 at September 30,
2000 and December 31, 1999. Since many commitments to make loans expire without
being used, the amount does not represent future cash commitments.

NOTE 5 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH
  OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK (CONTINUED)

The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to
the financial instrument for commitments to make loans and lines and letters of
credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The
Corporation follows the same credit policy to make such commitments as is
followed for those loans recorded in the financial statements. In management's
opinion, these commitments represent normal banking transactions and no material
losses are expected to result therefrom. Collateral obtained upon exercise of
the commitments is determined using management's credit evaluations of the
borrower and may include real estate, business or consumer assets.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
           of Operations

INTRODUCTION

In the following pages, management presents an analysis of the consolidated
financial condition of DCB Financial Corp. (the "Corporation") at September 30,
2000, compared to December 31, 1999, and the consolidated results of operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to the same
periods in 1999. This discussion is designed to provide shareholders with a more
comprehensive review of the operating results and financial position than could
be obtained from the financial statements alone. This analysis should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

When used in this document, the words or phrases "will likely result," "are
expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimated," "projected," or
similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including changes in
economic conditions in the Corporation's market area, changes in policies by
regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the
Corporation's market area and competition, that could cause actual results to
differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or
projected. Factors listed above could affect the Corporation's financial
performance and could cause the Corporation's actual results for future periods
to differ materially from any statements expressed with respect to future
periods.

The Corporation does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation,
to publicly revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of
anticipated or unanticipated events.


ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Corporation's assets totaled $498,241 at September 30, 2000, compared to
$430,005 at December 31, 1999, an increase of $68,236, or 15.9%. The increase in
assets was the result of increases in cash and cash equivalents, loans and
securities funded by increases in deposits and short-term borrowings.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $6,398, from $16,838 at December 31, 1999,
to $23,236 at September 30, 2000. This increase was funded by increases in
deposits and short-term borrowings.

Total securities increased $7,936, or 6.2%, from $127,154 at December 31, 1999,
to $135,090 at September 30, 2000. The increase was funded by increases in
deposits and short-term borrowings. The Corporation invests primarily in U.S.
Treasury notes, U.S. government agencies, municipal bonds, corporate obligations
and mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities include Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), Government National Mortgage Association
("GNMA") and Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") participation
certificates.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Securities classified as available for sale totaled $103,055, or 76.3% of the
total securities portfolio, at September 30, 2000. Management certain classifies
securities as available for sale to provide the Corporation with the flexibility
to move funds into loans as demand warrants. The mortgage-backed securities
portfolio, totaling $56,540 at September 30, 2000, provides the Corporation with
a constant cash flow stream from principal repayments. The Corporation held no
derivative securities or structured notes during any period presented.

Total loans increased $50,649, or 18.3%, from $277,468 at December 31, 1999, to
$328,117 at September 30, 2000. The majority of the growth was experienced in
commercial real estate loans and residential real estate and home equity
industrial loans, which increased $17,022, or 20.5%, and $15,161 or 21.8%,
respectively. The Corporation attributes this growth to a strong local economy
and the large number of businesses moving into the market area. There is no
concentration of lending to any one industry.

Due to the loan and deposit growth, the gross loan to deposit ratio increased to
77.7% at September 30, 2000, compared to 74.6% at December 31, 1999.

Total deposits increased $50,699, or 13.6%, from $371,799 at December 31, 1999,
to $422,498 at September 30, 2000. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased
$5,596, or 9.8%, while interest-bearing deposits increased $45,103, or 14.3%.
Interest-bearing demand and money market deposits comprised 53.3% of total
interest-bearing deposits at September 30, 2000, compared to 60.6% of total
interest-bearing deposits at December 31, 1999, as the Corporation experienced a
$887, or .5%, increase in volume in such accounts. The increase was primarily in
the Corporation's "Bank Investment" deposit accounts which offer a variable
interest rate tied to the 3-month Treasury Bill index. The Corporation
experienced a slight decrease in savings deposits, which decreased from 13.8% of
total interest-bearing deposits at December 31, 1999 to 11.9% of total
interest-bearing deposits at September 30, 2000. Certificates of deposit
increased $44,519, or 55.16%, comprising 34.8% of total interest-bearing
deposits at September 30, 2000, compared to 25.6% of total interest-bearing
deposits at December 31, 1999. The increase in certificates of deposit was
primarily due to an increase in public funds.

At September 30, 2000, and December 31, 1999, borrowed funds consisted primarily
of a $15,000 and a $10,000 FHLB advance and a mortgage-matched advance from the
FHLB with a remaining balance of $3,625 at September 30, 2000 and $3,889 at
December 31, 1999. Due in October 2000, the $15,000 FHLB advance had an original
term of 90 days and carries a fixed interest rate of 6.77% with interest due
monthly. Due in November 2000, the $10,000 FHLB advance had an original term of
180 days and carries a fixed interest rate of 6.87% with interest due monthly.
Due in October 2008, the mortgage-matched advance had an original term of 10
years and carries a fixed interest rate of 5.10%. Principal and interest on the
mortgage-matched advance are due monthly. Borrowed funds also include a demand
note issued to the U.S. Treasury, which totaled $2,000 at September 30, 2000,
and December 31, 1999.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
  2000 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

NET INCOME. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, was $1,288 or
$.30 per share compared to net income of $1,128 or $.27 per share for the same
quarter in 1999.

NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income represents the amount by which interest
income on interest-earning assets exceeds interest paid on interest-bearing
liabilities. Net interest income is the largest component of the Corporation's
income and is affected by the interest rate environment and the volume and
composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income was $4,057 for the three months ended September 30, 2000,
compared to $3,847 for the same period in 1999. The $210 increase in 2000 over
1999 was the result of an increased volume of interest-earning assets partially
offset by an increase in interest-bearing liabilities that carried a higher
average rate. Management has elected to offer attractive, competitive rates to
retain deposits, provided the funds can be invested in income-earning assets
with adequate yields.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES. The provision for loan and
lease losses represents the charge to income necessary to adjust the allowance
for loan and lease losses to an amount that represents management's assessment
of the losses inherent in the Corporation's loan portfolio. All lending activity
contains associated risks of losses and the Corporation recognizes these credit
risks as a necessary element of its business activity. To assist in identifying
and managing potential loan losses, the Corporation maintains a loan review
function that continuously evaluates individual credit relationships as well as
overall loan-portfolio conditions. One of the primary objectives of this loan
review function is to make recommendations to management as to both specific
loss reserves and overall portfolio-loss reserves.

The provision for loan and lease losses totaled $100 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $400 for the same period in 1999. The decrease in
the provision is reflective of a decrease in net charge-offs and nonperforming
loans compared to 1999.

The allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $3,166 or .96% of total loans
and leases, at September 30, 2000, compared to $2,793, or 1.01% of total loans
and leases, at December 31, 1999. The allowance was 182.9% of nonperforming
loans at September 30, 2000, compared to 444.8% at December 31, 1999. Management
believes increasing the allowance for loan and lease losses is necessary as
total loans, particularly commercial, consumer and construction loans, and
leases increase.

NONINTEREST INCOME AND NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Total noninterest income increased
$135, or 12.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to the
same period in 1999. The increase is due to increased fees collected on deposit
accounts and increased trust department income.

Total noninterest expense increased $401, or 13.8% for the three months ended
September 30, 2000, compared to the same periods in 1999. The increase was
primarily the result of increases in salaries and other employee benefits, loan,
lease and credit card expense, and other operating expenses partially offset by
a decrease in equipment expenses. Other changes in noninterest expense are not
significant.

INCOME TAXES. The volatility of income tax expense is primarily attributable to
the change in income before income taxes. The provision for income taxes totaled
$620, or an effective tax rate of 32.5%, for the three months ended September
30, 2000, compared to $536, or an effective rate of 32.2% for the three months
ended September 30, 1999.


COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
  AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

NET INCOME. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, totaled
$3,570, or $.85 per share, compared to net income of $3,662, or $.88 per share,
for the same period in 1999.

NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income was $12,167 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, compared to $11,614 for the same periods in 1999. The $553
increase in 2000 over 1999 was the result of an increased volume of
interest-earning assets partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing
liabilities that carried a higher average rate. Management has elected to offer
attractive, competitive rates to retain deposits, provided the funds can be
invested in income-earning assets with adequate yields.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES. The provision for loan and
lease losses totaled $602 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared
to $975 for the same period in 1999. The decrease in the provision is reflective
of a decrease in net charge-offs and nonperforming loans compared to 1999. Net
charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, were $229 compared to
net charge-offs of $481 for the same period in 1999.

NONINTEREST INCOME AND NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Total noninterest income decreased
$308, or 8.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to the
same period in 1999. The decrease is due to decreased fee income from the
Corporation's data service center and decreased fees collected on sales of
loans, partially offset by increased fees collected on deposit accounts and
increased trust department income.

Total noninterest expense increased $717, or 8.0% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999. The increase is
primarily the result of increases in salaries and other employee benefits, loan,
lease and credit card expense and other operating expenses, where such increases
made up $601 of the total increase. Other changes in noninterest expense are not
significant.

INCOME TAXES. The volatility of income tax expense is primarily attributable to
the change in income before income taxes. The provision for income taxes totaled
$1,651, or an effective tax rate of 31.6%, for the nine months ended September
30, 2000, compared to $1,658, or an effective rate of 31.2%, for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity is the ability of the Corporation to fund customers' needs for
borrowing and deposit withdrawals. The purpose of liquidity management is to
assure sufficient cash flow to meet all of the financial commitments and to
capitalize on opportunities for business expansion. This ability depends on the
institution's financial strength, asset quality and types of deposit and
investment instruments offered by the Corporation to its customers. The
Corporation's principal sources of funds are deposits, loan and security
repayments, maturities of securities, sales of securities available for sale and
other funds provided by operations. The Bank also has the ability to borrow from
the FHLB. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are
relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan and mortgage-backed
security prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic
conditions, and competition. The Corporation maintains investments in liquid
assets based upon management's assessment of (1) need for funds, (2) expected
deposit flows, (3) yields available on short-term liquid assets and (4)
objectives of the asset/liability management program.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $6,398, or 38.0%, to $23,236 at September
30, 2000 compared to $16,838 at December 31, 1999. Cash and equivalents
represented 4.7% of total assets at September 30, 2000 and 3.9% of total assets
at December 31, 1999. The Corporation has the ability to borrow funds from the
Federal Home Loan Bank and has various federal fund sources from correspondent
banks, should the Corporation need to supplement its future liquidity needs in
order to meet loan demand or to fund investment opportunities. Management
believes the Corporation's liquidity position is strong based on its level of
cash, cash equivalents, core deposits, the stability of its other funding
sources and the support provided by its capital base.

As summarized in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the most significant
transactions which affected the Corporation's level of cash and cash
equivalents, cash flows and liquidity during the nine months ended September 30,
2000 were the receipt of proceeds from maturities and repayments of securities
of $12,159, securities purchases of $43,396; the net increase in loans of
$48,226; the net increase in deposits of $50,700; and proceeds from sales of
securities of $23,489.


CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total shareholders' equity increased $2,698 between December 31, 1999 and
September 30, 2000, primarily due to earnings retained. No shares of treasury
stock were purchased by the Corporation during the nine months ended September
30, 2000; however, management may purchase additional shares in the future, as
opportunities arise. The number of shares to be purchased and the price to be
paid will depend upon the availability of shares, the prevailing market prices
and any other considerations which may, in the opinion of the Corporation's
Board of Directors or management, affect the advisability of purchasing shares.

Tier 1 capital is shareholders' equity excluding the unrealized gain or loss on
securities classified as available for sale and intangible assets. Tier 2
capital, or total capital, includes Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan
losses not to exceed 1.25% of risk weighted assets. Risk weighted assets are the
Corporation's total assets after such assets are assessed for risk and assigned
a weighting factor prescribed by regulation based on their inherent risk.

                                                                             17.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Corporation and its subsidiaries meet all regulatory capital requirements.
The ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets was 13.4% at September 30,
2000, while the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.5%. Regulatory minimums
call for a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, at least half of which must
be Tier 1 capital. The Corporation's leverage ratio, defined as Tier 1 capital
divided by average assets, of 9.6% at September 30, 2000 exceeded the regulatory
minimum for capital adequacy purposes of 4.0%.

In 2000, the Corporation announced plans to construct a new corporate
headquarters near Delaware, Ohio. The expected costs of the project are
estimated to be approximately $5 million. As of September 30, 2000, the
Corporation had paid costs of $930 related to the new corporate headquarters.

Also in October 2000, the Corporation acquired a 10% ownership interest in
Century Surety Company and Evergreen National Corporation. The Corporation's
investment, which totaled $1,931, along with the investments of four other
community banks comprises a 50% ownership interest. The remaining 50% of the
companies was acquired by Avalon National Corporation and Stonehenge Partners,
Inc., a venture capital firm based in Columbus, Ohio.


IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Beginning January 1, 2001, a new accounting standard will require all
derivatives to be recorded at fair value. Unless designated as hedges, changes
in these fair values will be recorded in the income statement. Fair value
changes involving hedges will generally be recorded by offsetting gains and
losses on the hedge and on the hedged item, even if the fair value of the hedged
item is not otherwise recorded. This is not expected to have a material effect
since the Corporation holds no derivatives, but the effect will depend on
derivative holdings when this standard applies.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
------------------------------------------------------------------


ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND MARKET RISK

The Corporation's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a
lesser extent, liquidity risks. Interest rate risk is the risk that the
Corporation's financial condition will be adversely affected due to movements in
interest rates. The income of financial institutions is primarily derived from
the excess of interest earned on interest-earning assets over the interest paid
on interest-bearing liabilities. Accordingly, the Corporation places great
importance on monitoring and controlling interest rate risk.

There are several methods employed by the Corporation to monitor and control
interest rate risk. One such method is using a gap analysis. The gap is defined
as the repricing variance between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive
liabilities within certain periods. The repricing can occur due to changes in
rates on variable rate products as well as maturities of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities. A high ratio of interest sensitive
liabilities, generally referred to as a negative gap, tends to benefit net
interest income during periods of falling interest rates as the average rate
paid on interest-bearing liabilities declines faster than the average rate
earned on interest-earning assets. The opposite holds true during periods of
rising interest rates. The Corporation attempts to minimize the interest rate
risk through management of the gap in order to achieve consistent shareholder
return. The Corporation's asset and liability management policy is to maintain a
laddered gap position. One strategy used by the Corporation is to originate
variable rate loans tied to market indices. Such loans reprice on an annual,
quarterly, monthly or daily basis as the underlying market indices change. As of
September 30, 2000, $129,295, or 39.4%, of the Corporation's loan portfolio
reprices on a regular basis. The Corporation also invests excess funds in liquid
federal funds that mature and reprice on a daily basis. The Corporation also
maintains most of its securities in the available for sale portfolio to take
advantage of interest rate swings and to maintain liquidity for loan funding and
deposit withdrawals.

The Corporation's 1999 annual report details a table that provides information
about the Company's financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in
interest rates as of December 31, 1999. The table is based on information and
assumptions set forth in the notes. The Corporation believes the assumptions
utilized are reasonable. For loans, securities and liabilities with contractual
maturities, the table represents principal cash flows and the weighted average
interest rate. For variable rate loans the contractual maturity and
weighted-average interest rate was used with an explanatory footnote as to
repricing periods. For liabilities without contractual maturities such as demand
and savings deposit accounts, a decay rate was utilized to match their most
likely withdrawal behavior. Management believes that no events have occurred
since December 31, 1999 which would significantly change the ratio of rate
sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities for the given time horizons.
