                                     Part I

Item 1.   Business

                                     General

     DNB Financial  Corporation  (the  "Registrant"),  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).
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
The  Downingtown  National  Bank  (the  "Bank").  Since  commencing  operations,
Registrant's  business has consisted  primarily of managing and  supervising the
Bank,  and its principal  source of income has been  dividends paid by the Bank.
Registrant  has one  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  the Bank.  At December 31, 1997,
Registrant had total  consolidated  assets,  total liabilities and stockholders'
equity of $219.5 million, $201.1 million, and $18.4 million, respectively.

     The Bank was organized in 1861. 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, having
six full service branch locations within Chester County, Pennsylvania, is a full
service  commercial  bank providing a wide range of services to individuals  and
small to medium sized businesses in its 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
one limited  service  branch and a full-service  trust and  investment  services
division. The Bank's subsidiary, Downco, Inc. was incorporated in December, 1995
for the purpose of  acquiring  and  holding  other real  estate  owned  acquired
through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.

     The  Bank's  legal   headquarters  are  located  at  4  Brandywine  Avenue,
Downingtown, Pennsylvania. As of December 31, 1997, the Bank had total assets of
$219.5 million,  total deposits of $199.2 million and total stockholders' equity
of $18.4 million.  The Bank's  business is not seasonal in nature.  Its deposits
are insured by the FDIC to the extent provided by law. At December 31, 1997, the
Bank had 89 full-time employees and 6 part-time employees.

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

                               Competition - Bank

     The Bank faces  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

                                       3

provide additional competition for loans and for certain financial services. The
Bank also currently 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 funds.

                     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

     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.

                           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.

                            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.   A  number  of  additional  states  are  considering
legislation  to authorize  reciprocal  interstate  banking.  Congress has passed
interstate  banking  legislation that should  accelerate the  authorization  for
interstate   banking.   (See  discussion  of  1994  Interstate  and  PA  Banking
Legislation on Page 11)

                               Environmental Laws

     The Registrant, the Bank and the Bank's customers are subject in the course
of  their   activities  to  a  growing  number  of  Federal,   state  and  local
environmental  laws  and  regulations.  Neither  the  Registrant  nor  the  Bank
anticipates  that compliance with  environmental  laws and regulations will have
any material  effect on capital  expenditures,  earnings,  or on its competitive
positions.

                        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.

     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  which 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%. 

                                       6

<PAGE>

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 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.

     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;  restricted and further regulated lending by a bank
to  its  executive  officers,  directors,   principal  shareholders  or  related
interests thereof; and restricted 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 restricted  management  personnel from borrowing
from another institution that has a correspondent relationship with their bank.

     Capital Rules. Pursuant to The Financial Institutions Reform,  Recovery and
Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") and the laws it amended,  the Federal banking
agencies have issued certain "risk-based capital" guidelines, which supplemented
existing capital requirements.  In addition,  the OCC imposes certain "leverage"
requirements  on  national  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.

     The risk-based  guidelines  require all banks and bank holding companies 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 the Bank's operations.

                                       7
<PAGE>

     The OCC's "leverage" ratio rules require national banks which are rated the
highest by the OCC in the composite areas of capital, asset quality, management,
earnings  and  liquidity  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 the OCC, 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 OCC, and is required to
be at a level  commensurate  with the  nature  of the  riskiness  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  noncumulative
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.

     The Bank is in  compliance  with  each of these  capital  rules,  and as of
December  31,  1997 the  required  ratios  and the Bank's  actual  ratios are as
follows:

       Capital Rule            Required Ratio      Bank's Ratio         Excess

Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital          4.00%               13.15%            9.15%
Total (Tiers 1 and 2)
Risk-Based Capital                 8.00                14.43             6.43

Leverage Ratio                     4.00                 8.46             4.46

     On the basis of an analysis of the rules and the projected  composition  of
the  Registrant's  consolidated  assets  and the risks  presented  by the Bank's
activities,  it is not expected  that the  foregoing  capital  rules will have a
material effect on the Registrant's business and capital plans.

     The Bank was  examined  by the OCC during the fourth  quarter of 1996.  The
Bank  was not  required  to make  additional  provisions  to its  allowance  for
possible loan losses or charge-offs as a result of this examination.

     Deposit  Insurance  Assessments.   On  November  22,  1996,  the  Financing
Corporation ("FICO") adopted a regulation pursuant to the 1996 Banking Law which
obligates  all  Federally  insured   depository   institutions  to  pay  special
assessments  toward the  funding of  interest  payments on FICO bonds which were
issued in 1989 to fund the savings and loan  bailout.  The special  assessments,
which are effective for periods  commencing January 1, 1997, are calculated on a
deposit-by-deposit basis and differs depending upon whether a deposit is insured
by SAIF or BIF. Currently,  the special assessment rates are 6.4 basis points on
all SAIF-assessable  deposits,  and 20% of that rate, or approximately 1.3 basis
points, on all BIF-assessable deposits,  regardless of whether an institution is
a "bank",  a "savings  association".  After  December 31, 1999 (or when the last
savings association ceases to exist, if earlier), all assessable deposits at all
institutions  will be  assessed  at the same  rates  in  order to pay FICO  bond
interest.

     The FDIC sets deposit insurance assessment rates on a semiannual basis. The
FDIC has  authority  to reduce the  assessment  rates  whenever the ratio of its
reserves to insured  deposits is equal to or greater than 1.25%, and to increase
deposit insurance assessments whenever that ratio is less than 1.25%.

                                       8

<PAGE>

     An  institution's  semiannual  deposit  insurance  assessment  is  computed
primarily  by  multiplying  its  "average  assessment  base"  (generally,  total
insurable  domestic  deposits) for the prior  semiannual  period by one-half the
annual  assessment rate applicable to that  institution  depending upon its risk
category,  which is based  principally  on two measures of risk.  These measures
involve capital and supervisory factors.

     For the capital measure,  institutions are assigned  semiannually to one of
three  capital  groups  according  to their  levels of  supervisory  capital  as
reported  on their call  reports:  "well  capitalized"  (group  1),  "adequately
capitalized"  (group 2) and  "undercapitalized"  (group  3). The  capital  ratio
standards for  classifying an institution in one of these three groups are total
risk-based  capital  ratio (10 percent or greater for group 1, and between 8 and
10  percent  for group 2),  the Tier 1  risk-based  capital  ratio (6 percent or
greater for group 1, and between 4 and 6 percent for group 2), and the  leverage
capital  ratio (5 percent or greater  for group 1,  between 4 and 5 percent  for
group 2).  Management  believes  that the Bank has met the  definition  of "well
capitalized" for regulatory purposes on December 31, 1996 and thereafter.

     Within  each  capital  group,  institutions  are  assigned  to one of three
supervisory  risk subgroups  --subgroup A, B, or C, depending upon an assessment
of the  institution's  perceived  risk based upon the results of its most recent
examination  and other  information  available  to  regulators.  Subgroup A will
consist of  financially  sound  institutions  with only a few minor  weaknesses.
Subgroup B will consist of institutions  that demonstrate  weaknesses  which, if
not corrected,  could result in significant deterioration of the institution and
increased risk of loss to the BIF.  Subgroup C will consist of institutions that
pose a  substantial  probability  of loss to the deposit  insurance  fund unless
effective   corrective   action  is  taken.   Thus,   there  are  nine  possible
classifications to which varying assessment rates are applicable. The regulation
generally prohibits  institutions from disclosing their subgroup  assignments or
assessment risk classifications without FDIC authorization.

     The following  table sets forth the BIF  assessment  rates by capital group
and  supervisory  risk  subgroup for  semiannual  assessment  periods  beginning
January 1, 1997 (with no minimum assessment amount):

                                           Supervisory subgroup
    Capital Group                        A            B          C
         1                                0            3         17
         2                                3           10         24
         3                               10           24         27

     Thus,  the total  semi-annual  assessment  for BIF member  institutions  on
BIF-assessable  deposits  will  continue  to  range  from 0 to 27  basis  points
(depending upon an institution's  risk  classifications),  plus the special FICO
assessment,  which in the Bank's case is  approximately  1.3 basis points on the
Bank's assessable deposits.

     Interstate  Banking - The  Riegel-Neal  Interstate  Banking  and  Branching
Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Interstate Banking Act"),  enacted on September 29,
1994,  permits bank holding companies to acquire banks in any state beginning in
1995.  Acquired banks in different  states may be merged into a single bank, and
merged banks may establish and acquire additional branches anywhere the acquiree
could have  branched.  States were entitled to opt out of  interstate  branching
until June 1, 1997. Limited branch purchases are still subject to state laws. On
July 6, 1995, Pennsylvania adopted an interstate banking act (the "PA Interstate
Banking Act") to harmonize Pennsylvania banking laws with the Federal Interstate
Banking  Act.  The PA  Interstate  Banking Act "opts in" early under the Federal
Interstate Banking Act to permit interstate  mergers,  non-Pennsylvania  holding
company  acquisitions of Pennsylvania  banks,  branch  acquisitions  and de novo
branching in any of the manners  contemplated by the Federal  Interstate Banking
Act,  subject to prior  regulatory  approvals  or filings.  In  general,  the PA
Interstate Banking Act permits  out-of-state  banking  institutions to establish
branches  in  Pennsylvania  with  the  approval  of  the  Pennsylvania   Banking
Department,  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.  Bank management  anticipates that the Interstate Banking Act and the PA
Interstate Banking Act will 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.

     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.

     Under the Community  Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA"), the record of a bank
holding  company and its subsidiary  banks must be considered by the appropriate
Federal  banking  agencies,  including  the  Federal  Reserve  and the  OCC,  in
reviewing and  approving or  disapproving  a variety of regulatory  applications
including approval of a branch or other deposit facility,  office relocation,  a
merger and certain  acquisitions of bank shares.  Federal banking  agencies have
recently  demonstrated  an  increased  readiness to deny  applications  based on
unsatisfactory CRA performance.  The OCC is required to assess the record of the
Bank to determine if it is meeting the credit needs of the community  (including
low and  moderate  neighborhoods)  which it serves.  FIRREA  amended  the CRA to
require,  among other things, that the OCC make publicly available an evaluation
of the  Bank's  record of  meeting  the  credit  needs of its  entire  community
including low- and  moderate-income  neighborhoods.  This evaluation  includes a
descriptive rating (outstanding,  satisfactory, needs to improve, or substantial
noncompliance) and a statement describing the basis for the rating.

     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 the Registrant.

     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 the
Registrant and its subsidiary Bank.

     Effect of Government Monetary Policies - The earnings of the Registrant 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.

Item 2.   Properties

     The main office of the Bank is located at 4 Brandywine Avenue, Downingtown,
Pennsylvania 19335. The Registrant's registered office is also at this location.
The Registrant  pays no rent or other form of  consideration  for the use of the
Bank's  main  office as its  principal  executive  office.  The Bank also has an
operations  center  located  at 104  Brandywine  Avenue,  Downingtown.  With the
exception of its limited  service office at Tel Hai,  which it leases,  the Bank
owns all of the  properties  described  below which had a net book value of $2.8
million including leasehold improvements at December 31, 1997.

     The bank has six full service  branch  offices  located in Chester  County,
Pennsylvania.  They are: Little Washington Office (Intersection of Route 322 and
Little  Washington  Road,  Downingtown),  East End  Office  (701 East  Lancaster
Avenue, Downingtown), Lionville Office (Intersection of Route 100 and Welsh Pool
Road,  Exton),  Ludwig's  Corner  Office  (Intersection  of Routes  100 and 401,
Uwchland), Caln Office (1835 East Lincoln Highway,  Coatesville).  The Bank also
has a limited service office at Tel Hai Retirement  Community  (Beaver Dam Road,
Honey Brook).

Item 3.   Legal Proceedings

     Neither the  Registrant  nor the Bank,  are  involved in any pending  legal
proceedings other than nonmaterial  legal proceedings  occurring in the ordinary
course of business. In the opinion of management,  the aggregate amount involved
in such  proceedings  is not material to the  financial  condition or results of
operations.

Item 4.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

     Not applicable.

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

     The following  discussion  provides an overview of the financial  condition
and results of operations of DNB Financial  Corporation  (the  "Corporation"  or
"DNB") and its wholly owned subsidiary,  Downing-town National Bank (the "Bank")
and should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's  consolidated financial
statements presented elsewhere in this annual report.

                              Results of Operations

Summary of Performance

     Highlighted  by a substantial  increase in total loan  revenue,  1997 was a
year of record  earnings  for DNB. For the year ended  December  31,  1997,  DNB
reported  net  income of $2.7  million  or $1.87 per share.  This  represents  a
$398,000 or 17% increase from $2.3 million or $1.60 per share in 1996.  Earnings
for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $1.9 million or $1.29 per share.

     Interest  income grew $1.2 million or 8% to record  levels at $16.4 million
for the year ended  December  31,  1997.  Total loans at December  31, 1997 were
$130.0  million  versus $121.6  million at December 31, 1996. The growth in loan
volume  contributed  significantly  to the increase in interest  income over the
prior  year.  Interest  expense  increased  $525,000  or 8% to $7.0  million  at
December  31, 1997.  The increase in interest  expense was due largely to higher
levels of time  deposits,  significantly  offset by a  reduction  in  repurchase
agreements.  Overall,  the net interest margin increased  $677,000 or 8% to $9.4
million in 1997.  Net interest  income was $8.7 million and $8.2 million in 1996
and 1995, respectively.

     Non-interest  income was $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1997.
Non-interest   income  for  1996  and  1995  was  $1.0  million  and   $929,000,
respectively. The $280,000 or 28% increase in 1997 was due to a series of events
which positively contributed to earnings performance.  During the year, DNB sold
several properties held in other real estate owned (OREO) for gains amounting to
$108,000.  In addition,  DNB's  Investment  Services and Trust Division  revenue
increased $110,000,  reflecting  commissions earned on estate settlements during
the year.

     Non-interest expense was $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1997.
This  represented a $352,000 or 5% increase from $6.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996.  Non-interest expense for 1995 was $7.1 million. The increase
in 1997 was due substantially to increased salary & employee  benefits,  as well
as to increased  professional  & consulting  fees and marketing  expense.  These
increases were mitigated by reductions in OREO expense,  insurance,  and postage
expense.

Net Interest Income

     DNB's  earnings  performance  is primarily  dependent upon its level of net
interest income,  which is the excess of interest revenue over interest expense.
Interest revenue includes interest earned on loans (net of interest reversals on
non-performing  loans),  investments,  Federal  funds sold and  interest-earning
cash,  as well as loan  fees and  dividend  income.  Interest  expense  includes
interest cost for deposits,  repurchase agreements,  Federal funds purchased and
other borrowings.

     During 1997, net interest income increased  $677,000 or 8% to $9.4 million,
from $8.7  million in 1996.  As shown in the  Rate/Volume  Analysis  below,  the
increase in net interest  income during 1997 was due to the positive  effects of
changes in volume,  which were only modestly  offset by the negative  effects of
rate changes.  The increased  volume  resulted from several  strategic  areas of
growth which included not only average balance  increases in loans,  investments
and Federal funds sold, but also increases in lower cost funding sources such as
NOW and money market  accounts.  Average loan balances for 1997 increased  $10.4
million, while average investment securities and Federal funds sold were up $3.3
million  and  $655,000,  respectively.  The  impact of the  increased  volume of
earning  assets  amounted  to an increase  of $1.2  million in interest  income.

Management's Discussion and Analysis 

NOW,  money market and savings  accounts  increased a total of $3.4 million.  In
addition, time deposits increased $11.1 million (largely in public fund deposits
over $100,000),  funding the payoff of repurchase agreements, which decreased an
average  of  $6.4   million.   The  net  impact  of  an   increased   volume  of
interest-bearing  liabilities  amounted to $493,000,  partially  offsetting  the
impact from an increased volume of  interest-earning  assets. The overall impact
of  rate  changes  amounted  to a  negative  $27,000,  resulting  from  modestly
unfavorable repricing in time deposits.

     During 1996, net interest income  increased  $495,000 or 6% to $8.7 million
from $8.2 million in 1995.  The increase in net interest  income during 1996 was
due to the positive effects of changes in volume,  and to a lesser degree by the
changes in rates. The positive impact from volume was largely  attributable to a
$12.7  million  increase  in  average  investment  securities  as well as a $2.3
million  increase in average  Federal funds sold and a $1.3 million  increase in
average  loans.  The positive  impact of these volume  changes was  considerably
offset by average  balance  increases of $11.4  million and $3.9 million of time
deposits and  repurchase  agreements,  respectively.  The  positive  impact from
change  in rates  was due to an  improved  yield on  investment  securities.  In
addition, reduced rates on repurchase agreements and savings deposits also had a
positive impact on net interest income.

     The following  tables set 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 during 1997 and 1996.  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.

Management's Discussion and Analysis 

Provision for Loan Losses

     To  provide  for  potential  losses  inherent  in the loan  portfolio,  DNB
maintains  an  allowance  for loan  losses.  To maintain an adequate  allowance,
management  charges the provision for loan losses against income.  There were no
provisions  made during the three years ended  December 31, 1997, as the quality
of DNB's  loan  portfolio  continued  to show  improvement,  based on  available
information.  Effective workout strategies,  fewer assets classified by internal
loan review,  sales of OREO  properties and other  reductions in  non-performing
assets have temporarily eliminated the need to make additional provisions.  As a
result of improved asset quality,  the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to
non-performing loans improved to 178% at December 31, 1997 from 156% at December
31, 1996 and 129% at December 31, 1995.

Non-Interest Income

     Total  non-interest  income includes  service charges on deposit  products;
fees received by DNB's Investment Services and Trust Division; and other sources
of  income  such as net  gains  on  sales  of  investment  securities  and  OREO
properties,  fees for safe deposit box rentals,  issuing  travelers'  checks and
money orders,  check  cashing,  collecting  bills for local  municipalities  and
similar activities.

     Non-interest  income was $1.3 million in 1997,  compared to $1.0 million in
1996 and $929,000 in 1995. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $37,000
or 8% to $469,000 in 1997 from  $433,000 in 1996 and  $458,000 in 1995.  Much of
the increase in this category was caused by increased  volume of transactions as
well as a concerted  effort by management to reduce the waived fee percentage on
deposit account overdrafts.

     Trust  income  was  $416,000  in 1997,  compared  to  $306,000  in 1996 and
$298,000  in 1995.  The  $110,000  or 36%  increase  in 1997 was due  largely to
commissions earned on several large estate settlements. Trust assets at December
31, 1997 remained  relatively  the same as the prior year at  approximately  $61
million.

     Other  non-interest  income grew  $133,000 or 50% to $398,000  for the year
ended December 31, 1997, from $265,000 in 1996.  Other  non-interest  income was
$173,000 in 1995.  The increase in this  category  during 1997 was caused by net
gains recognized on the sales of several OREO properties.

Non-Interest Expense

     Non-interest expense includes salaries & employee benefits, occupancy, FDIC
insurance,  professional  &  consulting  fees as well as  printing  &  supplies,
insurance,  advertising and other less significant  expense items.  During 1997,
management  strengthened  its  focus on  controlling  non-interest  expenses  by
embarking on a bank-wide  project  designed to identify and  implement  improved
operating  procedures.  While  DNB  incurred  some  initial  costs  relating  to
consulting  fees,  this  project was  undertaken  to move the Bank  forward with
greater operating efficiencies and ultimately greater cost savings.

     Non-interest  expenses were $7.1 million in 1997,  compared to $6.7 million
and $7.1  million in 1996 and 1995.  This  increase  of  $352,000  or 5% was due
primarily to increased  salary & employee  benefits,  professional  & consulting
expense,  and  advertising & marketing  expense,  partially  offset by decreased
insurance, postage and other expenses.

     Salaries & employee benefits expense totaled $4.0 million in 1997, compared
to $3.6  million in 1996 and $3.7  million  in 1995.  The  increase  in salary &
employee benefits expense during 1997 resulted from the addition of staff in the
Credit Services and the Investment Services & Trust Division.  In addition,  DNB
incurred increased costs for hospitalization, other employee benefits and normal
merit increases  during the year.  Salary & employee  benefits  expense for 1996
reflected fewer full-time equivalent  employees than 1995,  offsetting the merit
increase for that year.

     Professional  & consulting  expense  includes costs  associated  with legal
services, audit and accounting services,  asset/liability management services as
well as consulting fees for data  processing,  human resources and other special
projects.  Professional and consulting expenses for 1997 were $445,000, compared
to $317,000 in 1996 and $359,000 in 1995.  The increase in 1997  reflects  costs
incurred in the third and fourth  quarters  in relation to a project  undertaken
with an outside  consultant to help identify and  imple-

                                                                               7

Management's Discussion and Analysis 

ment improved operating procedures.  The decrease in professional and consulting
expense in 1996 from 1995 related to services associated with DNB's Stock Option
Plan and strategic planning efforts.

     Insurance expense,  which includes DNB's fidelity bond, commercial package,
workers compensation and directors' & officers' liability  coverages,  decreased
$15,000 to $96,000 in 1997,  compared to $111,000 and $163,000 in 1996 and 1995.
Insurance  expense continues to decrease as DNB recognizes the full benefit from
lower premium quotes and broader benefits under its new policies.

     Advertising & marketing  expense increased $12,000 to $216,000 for the year
ended  December 31,  1997,  compared to $205,000 and $208,000 for 1996 and 1995.
The increase in these  expenditures  was due largely to the promotion of the new
Premier Money Market account and Premier Check Card.

     Postage expense  decreased  $10,000 to $115,000 for the year ended December
31, 1997,  compared to $125,000 and $113,000 for 1996 and 1995. The  improvement
in this  category  reflects  fewer target  mailings in 1997 compared to 1996. In
addition, DNB benefited in 1997 from favorable discount mailing rates associated
with bar coded customer statements.  Postage expense in 1996 increased from 1995
due to the increased target mailings.

     Other  expenses  include  such items as OREO  expense,  satisfaction  fees,
appraisal  fees,  telephone and other  miscellaneous  expenses.  Other  expenses
decreased $94,000 to $709,000 in 1997, compared to $803,000 and $737,000 in 1996
and 1995.  The decrease in this category was primarily  caused by a reduction in
OREO expense for costs incurred to manage and insure  properties which were sold
during 1997.

Income Taxes

     Income tax expense was $865,000 in 1997,  $658,000 in 1996, and $169,000 in
1995.  DNB has deferred tax assets,  largely  attributable  to the allowance for
loan losses and  alternative  minimum tax credit  carryforwards.  These benefits
reduced DNB's effective tax rate to 24%, 22% and 8% for the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

                          Financial Condition Analysis

Investment Securities

     DNB's   investment    portfolio   consists   of   US   agency   securities,
mortgage-backed  securities issued by US Government agencies,  commercial paper,
certificates  of deposit  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.

     Given the nature of the portfolio,  and its generally high credit  quality,
management  expects to realize all of its  investment  upon the maturity of such
instruments,  and believes that any market value decline is temporary in nature.
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.

     In 1995 the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  released  a
special report,  "A Guide to  Implementation  of Statement 115 on Accounting for
Certain  Investments  in Debt and Equity  Securities."  This guide  contained  a
provision  which allowed a one-time  reclassification  of securities  previously
classified  as  HTM  to the  AFS  portfolio.  Management  believed  that  it was
appropriate  to take  advantage  of this  reclassification  opportunity  since a
bank's  ability  to manage  overall  risk is  enhanced  by  having a larger  AFS
portfolio.  Accordingly,  DNB reclassified securities with a book value of $12.8
mil-

Management's Discussion and Analysis 

lion to the AFS portfolio on December 29, 1995 and recognized  unrealized  gains
of $103,000 and unrealized losses of $58,000.

     DNB's investment  portfolio (HTM and AFS securities)  totaled $63.6 million
at December 31, 1997, down from $70.6 million at December 31, 1996. The decrease
was caused in part by the calls or maturities of agency securities available for
sale. Cash flows from these maturities were subsequently re-invested in the loan
portfolio or in Federal funds sold.

     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.  The  first two  tables  do not  include  amortization  or
anticipated  prepayments on mortgage-backed  securities.  Callable US Government
agency securities are included at their stated maturity dates.

Management's Discussion and Analysis 

Loans

     The loan portfolio  consists  primarily of commercial and residential  real
estate loans,  commercial  loans and lines of credit,  consumer  loans and, to a
lesser  degree,  student loans.  The loan portfolio  provides a stable source of
interest  income,  monthly  amortization  of  principal  and,  in  the  case  of
adjustable rate loans, repricing opportunities.

     Net loans were $124.7  million at December 31, 1997,  up $8.2 million or 7%
from 1996.  Commercial  loans increased $5.0 million or 17% to $35.0 million and
residential  loans increased $2.7 million or 15% to $20.4 million.  The increase
in both  portfolios  reflects  DNB's  commitment to commercial  and  residential
development in the Chester County community.

     The following  table sets forth  information  concerning the composition of
total loans  outstanding,  net of the allowance for loan losses, as of the dates
indicated.

Non-Performing Assets

     Asset quality improved  significantly for the fifth consecutive year as the
level of non-performing assets at December 31, 1997 declined $1.1 million or 25%
to $3.2  million from $4.3 million at December 31, 1996 and from $5.1 million at
December 31, 1995. The improvement resulted from a concentrated effort to reduce
the levels of such assets through workout strategies and vigilant  monitoring of
weakened credits. Current economic conditions are favorable for DNB, which has a
significant  level of

Management's Discussion and Analysis 

commercial,  real estate and consumer  loans.  In order to improve asset quality
and position DNB for possible economic  downturns in the future,  management has
tightened  underwriting  standards  and has made  improvements  in DNB's lending
policies and procedures during the last five years.  Non-performing assets have,
and will continue to have, an impact on earnings. Management intends to continue
working aggressively in an effort to reduce the level of such assets.

     Non-performing  assets are comprised of nonaccrual loans,  loans delinquent
over ninety days and still accruing,  troubled debt restructurings  ("TDRs") and
other  real  estate  owned  ("OREO").  Nonaccrual  loans  are loans on 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.  OREO includes both real estate  obtained as a result of, or in lieu
of, foreclosure. 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
nonaccrual 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)  other  real  estate  owned  ("OREO")  as a  result  of
foreclosure or voluntary transfer to DNB.

     The Special Assets Committee monitors the performance of the loan portfolio
to identify  potential problem assets on a timely basis. In addition,  committee
members meet to design,  implement and review asset  recovery  strategies  which
serve to maximize the recovery of each troubled  asset.  DNB had $5.9 million of
loans which,  although  performing at December 31, 1997, 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 amount of such
loans at  December  31,  1996 was $7.2  million.  The  majority of the loans are
secured  by  commercial  real  estate,  with  lesser  amounts  being  secured by
residential real estate, inventory and receivables.

Allowance for Loan Losses

     The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses
which is charged to  operations.  Loan losses are charged  directly  against the
allowance  and  recoveries  on  previously  charged-off  loans  are added to the
allowance.

     In  establishing  its allowance for loan losses,  management  considers the
size  and  risk  exposure  of each  segment  of the loan  portfolio,  past  loss
experience,  present  indicators of risk such as  delinquency  rates,  levels of
nonaccruals,  the potential  for losses in future  periods,  and other  relevant
factors.  Management's  evaluation  of the  loan  portfolio  generally  includes
reviews of individual  borrowers with aggregate  balances of $300,000 or greater
and 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").   The  provisions  are  based  on
management's review of the economy,  interest rates,  general market conditions,
estimates of the fair value of collateral, financial strength and ability of the
borrowers and  guarantors to pay, and  considerations  regarding the current and
anticipated  operating or sales  environment.  These estimates are  particularly
susceptible to change and may result in a material  adjustment to the allowance.
While management uses the latest information available to make its evaluation of
the adequacy of the allowance, future adjustments may be necessary if conditions
differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations.

     There were no  provisions  made during the three years ended  December  31,
1997, due to a reduction of internally  classified  assets,  recoveries of prior
charge-offs,  as well as a  further  reduction  in the  level of  non-performing
assets.  Net  loan  recoveries  were  $169,000  in  1997,  compared  to net loan
charge-offs  of $403,000 in 1996 and  $130,000 in 1995.  The  percentage  of net
charge-offs  to total  average  loans  was .34% and .11%  during  1996 and 1995,
respectively.

     The  following  table sets forth the  changes in DNB's  allowance  for loan
losses for the years  indicated.  Real  estate  includes  both  residential  and
commercial real estate.

Management's Discussion and Analysis 

     In determining  the adequacy of the  allowance,  DNB utilizes a methodology
which includes an analysis of 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.  In
addition,  specific allocations are established for loans where loss is probable
and reasonably identifiable, based on management's judgment and an evaluation of
the individual  credit,  which includes  various factors  mentioned  above.  The
allocated  portion of the reserve is then  determined as a result of an analysis
of the loan pools and specific allocations.

     The following  table sets forth the composition of DNB's allowance for loan
losses at the  dates  indicated.  The  portion  allocated  to each  category  is
generally  not the total  amount  available  for future  losses that might occur
within such  categories.  The  allocation  of the  allowance  should also not be
interpreted  as an indication  that  charge-offs  will occur in these amounts or
proportions.  The  specific  allocations  in any  particular  category may prove
excessive or inadequate  and  consequently  may be  reallocated in the future to
reflect  current  conditions.  Accord-ingly,  management  considers  the  entire
allowance to be available to absorb losses in any category.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Management  maintains  liquidity to meet  depositors'  needs for funds,  to
satisfy  or fund loan  commitments,  and for  other  operating  purposes.  DNB's
foundation  for  liquidity  is a stable and loyal  customer  deposit  base 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.  DNB's  primary  source of liquidity  is dependent  upon its ability to
maintain and expand its customer deposit base. During 1997,  deposits  increased
$20.8 million or 12% while repurchase  agreements were paid off. The substantial
increase in deposits was a result of several  successful  certificate of deposit
promotions  initiated during the year, along with the introduction and promotion
of DNB's new Premier Money Market account.

     As of December 31, 1997,  deposits  totaled $199.2 million,  up from $178.4
million at December 31, 1996. Certificates of deposit increased $14.7 million or
23% to  $78.5  million.  In  addition,  non-interest  bearing  deposits  and NOW
accounts  increased $3.0 million combined.  Money market accounts increased $3.7
million, due largely to DNB's new money market account.

     DNB maintains  borrowing  arrangements  with a  correspondent  bank and the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh,  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   short-term   credit  of
approximately $49 million.

     At  December  31,  1997,  DNB  has  $4.2  million  in  commitments  to fund
commercial real estate,  construction and land  development  loans. In addition,
there are $1.3 million in unfunded home equity lines of credit and $14.3 million
in other unused loan commitments.  Management  anticipates the majority of these
commitments   will  be  funded  by  means  of  normal  cash  flows.   There  are
approximately  $69.0  million of  certificates  of deposit  scheduled  to mature
during the twelve  months ending  December 31, 1998. To meet its funding  needs,
DNB maintains assets which comprise its primary liquidity totaling $43.1 million
on December 31, 1997. Primary liquidity includes Federal funds sold, investments
and  interest-bearing   cash  balances,   less  pledged  securities.   DNB  also
anticipates  scheduled payments and prepayments on its loan and  mortgage-backed
securities portfolios.

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 composed 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 repricing 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.

     One measure of interest rate risk is the gap ratio, which is defined as the
difference   between   the  dollar   volume  of   interest-earning   assets  and
interest-bearing  liabilities maturing or repricing within a specified period of
time as a percentage of total assets.  A positive gap results when the volume of
interest   rate-sensitive   assets  exceeds  that  of  interest   rate-sensitive
liabilities  within  comparable  time  periods.  A negative gap results when the
volume  of  interest   rate-sensitive   liabilities  exceeds  that  of  interest
rate-sensitive assets within comparable time periods.

     As indicated in the table below,  the one year gap position at December 31,
1997 was a negative 2.1%. Generally, a financial institution with a negative gap
position  will most likely  experience  decreases in net interest  income during
periods of rising rates and increases in net interest  income during  periods of
falling interest rates.

     The negative gap was brought about in part due to customer  preferences for
short-term  and  floating  rate  deposit  products  which  caused  interest-rate
sensitive  liabilities  to exceed  interest-rate  sensitive  assets  during  the
earlier  time  periods  presented.   While  gap  analysis  represents  a  useful
asset/liability  management tool, it does not necessarily indicate the effect of
general  interest  rate  movements  on  DNB's  net  interest   income,   due  to
discretionary  repricing  of  assets  and  liabilities,  and  other  competitive
pressures.

1997) at their Option

Management's Discussion and Analysis 

Adjusted  Spread  ("OAS")  modified  duration  date,  as  opposed to the call or
maturity  date.  In  management's  opinion,  using  modified  duration  dates on
callable  agency  securities  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.

     Included in the analysis of the gap position  are certain  savings  deposit

Management's Discussion and Analysis 

are less sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates than other interest-bearing
sources of funds. In determining  the  sensitivity of such deposits,  management
reviews the  movement of its deposit  rates for the past four years  relative to
market rates. Using regression  analysis,  the ALCO committee has estimated that
these  deposits are  approximately  25-30%  sensitive  to interest  rate changes
(i.e., if short term rates were to increase 100 basis points,  the interest rate
on such deposits would increase 25-30 basis points).

     The  preceding  table  sets forth  certain  information  relating  to DNB's
financial   instruments  that  are  sensitive  to  changes  in  interest  rates,
categorized by expected  maturity or repricing and the instruments fair value at
December 31, 1997.

     The Bank 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  the Bank's  spread by  attracting  lower-
costing retail deposits.

     In addition to utilizing the gap ratio for interest  rate risk  management,
the ALCO committee 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  recent  simulations,  net
interest income would be within policy guidelines regardless of the direction of
market rates.

Capital Resources

     Stockholders'  equity  increased  to $18.4  million at December  31,  1997,
primarily  as a result of the $2.7  million  net income  reported  for the year.
Management  believes  that  the  Corporation  and the  Bank  each  have  met the
definition of "well  capitalized"  for regulatory  purposes on December 31, 1997
and  thereafter.  The Bank's capital  category is determined for the purposes of
applying the bank regulators'  "prompt  corrective  action"  regulations and for
determining  levels of deposit  insurance  assessments and may not constitute an
accurate  representation  of the  Corporation's or the Bank's overall  financial
condition or  prospects.  The  Corporation's  capital  exceeds the FRB's minimum
leverage  ratio   requirements  for  bank  holding   companies  (see  additional
discussion in Regulatory Matters -- Footnote 14).

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.

     Interstate  Banking -- The  Riegle-Neal  Interstate  Banking and  Branching
Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Interstate Banking Act"),  enacted on September 29,
1994,  permits bank holding companies to acquire banks in any state beginning in
1995.  Acquired banks in different  states may be merged into a single bank, and
merged banks may establish and acquire additional branches anywhere the acquiree
could have  branched.  States were entitled to opt out of  interstate  branching
until June 1, 1997. Limited branch purchases are still subject to state laws. On
July 6, 1995, Pennsylvania adopted an interstate banking act (the "PA Interstate
Banking Act") to harmonize Pennsylvania banking laws with the Federal Interstate
Banking  Act.  The PA  Interstate  Banking Act "opts in" early under the Federal
Interstate Banking Act to permit interstate  mergers,  non-Pennsylvania  holding
company  acquisitions of Pennsylvania  banks,  branch  acquisitions  and de novo
branching in any of the manners  contemplated by the Federal  Interstate Banking
Act,  subject to prior  regulatory  approvals  or filings.  In  general,  the PA
Interstate Banking Act permits  out-of-state  banking  institutions to establish
branches  in  Pennsylvania  with  the  approval  of  the  Pennsylvania   Banking
Department,  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.  Management  believes  that  the  Interstate  Banking  Act  and  the  PA

Management's Discussion and Analysis 

Banking Act have increased  competitive  pressures in DNB's market by permitting
entry of additional competitors,  but management is of the opinion that this did
not have a material  impact upon the results of  operations of DNB, for the year
ended December 31, 1997.

     Amendments  to FDIC Deposit  Insurance  Assessment  Rules-- On November 22,
1996, the Financing  Corporation  ("FICO") adopted a regulation  pursuant to the
1996 Banking Law which obligates all Federally insured  depository  institutions
to pay special assessments toward the funding of interest payments on FICO bonds
which were  issued in 1989 to fund the  savings  and loan  bailout.  The special
assessments,  which are effective for periods  commencing  January 1, 1997,  are
calculated on a  deposit-by-deposit  basis and differs  depending upon whether a
deposit is insured by the Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund  ("SAIF") or the
Bank  Insurance  Fund  ("BIF").  The special FICO  assessment  rate is 6.4 basis
points on all SAIF-assessable  deposits,  and 20% of that rate, or approximately
1.3 basis  points,  on all  BIF-assessable  deposits,  regardless  of whether an
institution is a "bank" or a "savings  association".  The Bank's FICO assessment
rate is  currently  1.3 basis point.  After  December 31, 1999 (or when the last
savings association ceases to exist, if earlier), all assessable deposits at all
institutions  will be  assessed  at the same  rates  in  order to pay FICO  bond
interest.

     The semi-annual deposit insurance assessment for BIF member institutions on
BIF-assessable  deposits  ranges from 0 to 27 basis  points,  depending  upon an
institution's risk classification. The Bank's current assessment rate is 0 basis
points.

     Year 2000 -- Year 2000  compliance  has been defined by DNB as the point at
which each  organizational  function,  system,  application,  file,  program and
database will  correctly  process,  provide  and/or receive date data within and
between the 20th and 21st centuries.  DNB has developed a comprehensive approach
to solving Year 2000 issues.  Headed up by DNB's Technology  Steering Committee,
the Bank has conducted an in-depth  review of its systems to identify and assess
the risks  posed by the Year 2000.  The  committee  has  worked  with the Bank's
primary  software  and  hardware  vendors  to  prepare  the  computer  operating
environment.  DNB has purchased software products to aid in identifying programs
that might be  affected by the Year 2000.  In addition to all of the  technology
enhancements  planned,  current plans call for upgrading all personal  computers
that are not Year 2000  compliant.  Testing has been  scheduled for all systems.
DNB, while not completely Year 2000 compliant,  is working diligently to achieve
this goal. DNB has established an organization-wide initiative and every area of
the Bank is  participating.  Management  currently  expects  DNB to be Year 2000
compliant  in  all  material  respects  before  December  31,  1999.  Management
currently  estimates  the costs of Year 2000  compliance  will be  approximately
$60,000 during the two years ended December 31, 1999.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 1996,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 125,  Accounting  for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial  Assets and  Extinguishments  of  Liabilities  ("SFAS No.
125").  That  Statement  established,  among  other  things,  new  criteria  for
determining  whether a transfer of financial assets should be accounted for as a
sale or as a pledge of  collateral  in a secured  borrowing.  SFAS No.  125 also
established new accounting requirements for pledged collateral.  As issued, SFAS
No. 125 was effective  for all  transfers and servicing of financial  assets and
extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996, and is applied
prospectively.  The Company  adopted the  provisions of SFAS No. 125,  effective
January 1, 1997.  In December  1996,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No. 127.  Under the
provisions of SFAS No. 127, the effective date of certain provisions of SFAS No.
125,  including  repurchase  agreement,  dollar-roll,  securities  lending,  and
similar  transactions,  are  deferred  for a  period  of  one  year.  Management
anticipates the effect of  implementation  of SFAS No. 127 will be immaterial to
DNB's results of operations, financial condition or stockholders' equity.

     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting  Comprehensive Income
("SFAS No. 130").  This  statement  establishes  standards for the report-

                                                                              17

Management's Discussion and Analysis 

ing and  display of  comprehensive  income and its  components  in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements.  SFAS No. 130 requires that all items that
are required to be recognized as components of comprehensive  income be reported
in a financial  statement  that is displayed  with the same  prominence as other
financial statements.  The statement does not require a specific format for that
financial   statement  but  requires  that  an  enterprise   display  an  amount
representing  total  comprehensive  income  for the  period  in  that  financial
statement.  SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years  beginning after December
15,  1997.  Management  has not  yet  determined  the  impact,  if any,  of this
statement on DNB.

     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131,  Disclosures  About Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS No. 131"). SFAS No. 131 establishes
standards for the way that public business  enterprises report information about
operating  segments  in annual  financial  statements  and  requires  that those
enterprises  report selected  information  about  operating  segments in interim
financial  reports issued to  shareholders.  It also  establishes  standards for
related  disclosures  about products and services,  geographic  areas, and major
customers.  SFAS No. 131 is  effective  for  financial  statements  for  periods
beginning after December 15, 1997. Management has not yet determined the impact,
if any, of this statement on DNB.

     In February  1998,  the FASB issued  SFAS No. 132,  Employers'  Disclosures
about  Pensions  and  Other  Postretirement  Benefits  ("SFAS  No.  132").  This
statement  amends the disclosure  requirements of Statements No. 87,  Employers'
Accounting for Pensions ("Statement No. 87"). No. 88, Employers'  Accounting for
Settlements  and   Curtailments  of  Defined  Benefit  Pensions  Plans  and  for
Termination  Benefits  ("Statement No. 88"), and No. 106, Employers'  Accounting
for Postretirement  Benefits Other Than Pensions ("Statement No. 106"). SFAS No.
132 is applicable to all entities.  This statement  standardizes  the disclosure
requirements  of  Statements  No. 87 and No. 106 to the extent  practicable  and
recommends a parallel format for presenting information about pensions and other
postretirement  benefits.  SFAS No. 132 only  addresses  disclosure and does not
change  any  of  the  measurement  or  recognition  provisions  provided  for in
Statements  No. 87, No. 88, or No. 106. The  statement  is effective  for fiscal
years  beginning  after December 15, 1997.  Restatement  of  comparative  period
disclosures  is required  unless the  information is not readily  available,  in
which case the notes to the financial  statements  should  include all available
information and a description of the information not available.

Market for Common Stock

     DNB Financial's  common stock is listed under the symbol "DNBF" on the Over
The Counter  Electronic  Bulletin Board, an automated  quotation  service,  made
available  through and governed by the NASDAQ system.  Current price information
is available  from account  executives  at most  brokerage  firms as well as the
firms  listed at the back of this annual  report who are market  makers of DNB's
common stock.  There were  approximately  900  stockholders  who owned 1,451,661
shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 1997.

     The  following  table  sets forth the  quarterly  high and low prices for a
share of DNB's common stock during the periods indicated. Prices for the sale of
stock are based upon  transactions  reported  by the  brokerage  firms of Hopper
Soliday & Company,  Inc. and Ryan,  Beck & Company.  The quoted high and low bid
prices  are  limited  only to those  transactions  known by  management  to have
occurred  and there may, in fact,  have been  additional  transactions  of which
management  is unaware.  Prices have been adjusted for the stock split and stock
dividends.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The  consolidated  financial  statements of DNB Financial  Corporation (the
"Corporation"  or "DNB")  and its  subsidiary,  Downingtown  National  Bank (the
"Bank"),   are  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted   accounting
principles and general practices within the industry. In preparing the financial
statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and affect revenues and expenses
for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

     The material  estimates  that are  particularly  susceptible to significant
changes in the near term  relate to the  determination  of the  adequacy  of the
allowance  for loan  losses,  the  valuation  of other real estate owned and the
valuation of deferred tax assets.  In connection with the  determination  of the
allowance  for  losses  on  loans  and  other  real  estate  owned,  independent
appraisals for significant properties are obtained when practical.

     The more significant accounting policies are summarized below. Prior period
amounts not affecting net income are reclassified when necessary to conform with
current year classifications.

     Principles of  Consolidation  -- The  accompanying  consolidated  financial
statements include the accounts of the Corporation and the Bank. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

     Cash and Due From  Banks  -- DNB is  required  to  maintain  certain  daily
reserve  balances in accordance  with Federal  Reserve Board  requirements.  The
average reserve balance  maintained in accordance with such requirements for the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 was approximately  $275,000 and $150,000,
respectively.

     Investment Securities -- Investment securities are classified and accounted
for as follows:

          Held-To-Maturity  ("HTM") -- includes debt securities that DNB has the
     positive  intent and  ability to hold to  maturity.  These  securities  are
     reported at cost,  adjusted for  amortization  of premiums and accretion of
     discounts.

          Trading Account ("TA") -- includes securities which are generally held
     for a short term in anticipation of market gains.  Such securities would be
     carried at fair  value with  realized  and  unrealized  gains and losses on
     trading account securities included in the statement of operations. DNB did
     not have any securities classified as TA during 1997, 1996, or 1995.

          Available-For-Sale  ("AFS") -- includes debt and equity securities not
     classified  as HTM  or TA  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 method approximating a level-yield basis.

     Loans -- Loans are stated net of unearned  discounts,  unamortized net loan
origination  fees  and  the  allowance  for  loan  losses.  Interest  income  is
recognized on the accrual  basis.  The accrual of interest on loans is generally
discontinued when loans become 90 days past due or earlier when, in management's
judgment,   it  is  determined  that  a  reasonable   doubt  

                                                                              23

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

exists as to its collectibility.  When a loan is placed on nonaccrual,  interest
accruals cease and uncollected  accrued interest is reversed and charged against
current  income.  Additional  interest  payments  on such  loans are  applied to
principal or  recognized  in income on a cash basis.  A  nonaccrual  loan 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.

     Deferred  Loan Fees -- 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
nonaccrual  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 Loan Losses -- The allowance for loan losses ("allowance") is
based on a periodic  evaluation  of the  portfolio  and is maintained at a level
that  management  considers  adequate to absorb losses known and inherent in the
portfolio.  Management  considers  a variety of factors  when  establishing  the
allowance,  recognizing  that an  inherent  risk of loss  always  exists  in the
lending  process.  Consideration  is given to the  impact  of  current  economic
conditions,  diversification of the loan portfolio,  historical loss experience,
delinquency statistics,  results of detailed loan reviews,  borrowers' financial
and  managerial  strengths,  the adequacy of  underlying  collateral,  and other
relevant factors.  While management utilizes the latest available information to
determine the potential for losses on loans,  future  additions to the allowance
may be  necessary  based on changes in  economic  conditions  as well as adverse
changes in the financial condition of borrowers. In addition, various regulatory
agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,  periodically review
the  allowance.  Such  agencies  may require DNB to  recognize  additions to the
allowance based on their judgments of information  available to them at the time
of their  examination.  The  allowance is increased  by the  provision  for loan
losses which is charged to operations.  Loan losses are charged directly against
the allowance and  recoveries on previously  charged-off  loans are added to the
allowance.

     For purposes of applying the measurement  criteria for impaired loans,  DNB
excludes large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, primarily consisting
of residential real estate loans and consumer loans, as well as commercial loans
with balances less than $100,000. For applicable loans, management evaluates the
need for impairment  recognition when a loan becomes nonaccrual,  or earlier, if
based on an assessment of the relevant facts and  circumstances,  it is probable
that  DNB  will  be  unable  to  collect  all  proceeds  due  according  to  the
contractural  terms of the loan  agreement.  DNB's policy for the recognition of
interest  income  on  impaired  loans  is  the  same  as for  nonaccrual  loans.
Impairment  is  charged  to  the  allowance  when  management   determines  that
foreclosure  is  probable or the fair value of the  collateral  is less than the
recorded investment of the impaired loan.

     Other Real Estate  Owned -- Other real estate  owned  ("OREO")  consists of
properties  acquired  as a result  of, or  in-lieu-of,  foreclosure.  Properties
classified  as OREO are  reported at the lower of carrying  value or fair value,
less estimated  costs to sell.  Costs relating to the development or improvement
of the properties are  capitalized  and costs relating to holding the properties
are charged to expense.

     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.  

24

<PAGE>
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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, 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  costs to sell.  Gains or losses on  disposition  of  premises  and
equipment are reflected in operations.

     Federal  Income Taxes -- DNB accounts for income taxes in  accordance  with
the asset and  liability  method of  accounting  for  income  taxes.  Under this
method,  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
bases.  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.

     The  Corporation  files a  consolidated  Federal income tax return with the
Bank.

     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.

     Stock Option Plan -- DNB  accounts for its stock option plan in  accordance
with the  provisions of  Accounting  Principles  Board  ("APB")  Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations.  As such,
compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market
price of the underlying  stock exceeds the exercise  price.  On January 1, 1996,
DNB adopted SFAS No. 123,  Accounting for  Stock-Based  Compensation  ("SFAS No.
123"),  which permits  entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period,
the fair value of all  stock-based  awards on the date of grant.  Alternatively,
SFAS No. 123 also allows  entities to  continue to apply the  provisions  of APB
Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share
disclosures for employee stock option grants made in 1995 and future years as if
the  fair-value-based  method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.  DNB has
elected to  continue to apply the  provisions  of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide
the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123.

     Earnings  Per Share -- Basic  earnings  per share is computed  based on the
weighted average number of common shares  outstanding  during the year.  Diluted
earnings per share  reflects the  potential  dilution  that could occur from the
conversion of common stock  equivalents and is computed using the treasury stock
method.  Earnings per share,  dividends  per share and weighted  average  shares
outstanding  have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the 5% stock dividends
paid in December  1997,  1996 and 1995 and the September  1997 two for one stock
split, effected in the form of a 100% dividend.

     Trust Assets -- Assets held by DNB 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 the  Investment  Services and
Trust Division are included in the consolidated statements of operations and are
recorded on an accrual basis.

     Statements  of Cash Flows -- For purposes of the  statements of cash flows,
DNB considers cash in banks,  amounts due from banks,  and Federal funds sold to
be cash equivalents. Generally, Federal funds are sold for one-day periods.

                                                                              25

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     DNB sold $1.0 million and $5.0 million of securities from the AFS portfolio
during 1997 and 1996, respectively. During 1995, $3.0 million of securities were
sold  from the HTM  portfolio  and $2.0  million  from  the AFS  portfolio.  The
securities  sold from the HTM portfolio  were sold under SFAS No. 115 guidelines
which permit sales of securities that have final maturities within three months.
Gains and losses from sales of investment securities were as follows:

                                   Year Ended December 31
                               1997        1996        1995

- ------------------------------------------------------------
Net realized gain (losses)    $6,669     $(4,728)   $(2,387)
- ------------------------------------------------------------

     In  1995,  the FASB  allowed  a  one-time  reclassification  of  securities
previously classified as HTM to the AFS portfolio. Accordingly, DNB reclassified
securities  with a  carrying  value of $12.8  million  and  unrealized  gains of
$103,000 and  unrealized  losses of $58,000 to the AFS portfolio on December 29,
1995.

     At December 31, 1997 and 1996,  investment securities with a carrying value
of approximately $36.7 million and $27.8 million, respectively,  were pledged to
secure public funds and for other purposes as provided by law.

     At  December  31,  1997,  there  were  no  significant   concentrations  of
investments  (greater  than  10% of  stockholders'  equity)  in  any  individual
security  issues,  other  than those  issued by the US  Government  and  related
agencies and corporations.  Interest and dividends on investment  securities for
the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 consisted of:

     Included  in the loan  portfolio  are loans for  which DNB has  ceased  the
accrual of interest.  Loans of approximately $2.9 million, $2.9 million and $4.1
million  as of  December  31,  1997,  1996  and  1995,  respectively,  were on a
nonaccrual  basis.  DNB also had loans of  approximately  $70,000,  $194,000 and
$129,000  that were  more than 90 days  delinquent,  but  still  accruing  as of
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  In addition, DNB had loans not
included in nonaccrual  or  delinquent  loans,  which  constitute  troubled debt
restructurings,  which totaled $-0-,  

                                                                              27

$184,000  and $-0- as of December  31,  1997,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.  If
contractual  interest  income had been recorded on  nonaccrual  loans during the
years 1997,  1996 and 1995,  interest  would have been increased as shown in the
following table:

                                Year Ended December 31

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

     At  December  31,  1997,  DNB had $5.9  million  of loans  which,  although
performing at December 31, 1996, 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 the loans are
secured  by  commercial  real  estate  with  lesser  amounts  being  secured  by
residential real estate, inventory and receivables.

     Although DNB has a significant  concentration of residential and commercial
mortgage loans collateralized by first mortgage liens located in central Chester
County,  DNB has no  concentration  of loans to  borrowers  engaged  in  similar
activities  which exceed 10% of total loans at December 31, 1997.  However,  DNB
does have loans of approximately  $8.9 million to local  residential real estate
developers and loans of approximately $12.1 million relating to local multi-unit
office buildings at December 31, 1997.

     Certain  officers  and  directors  of  DNB  and  certain  corporations  and
individuals related to such persons incurred indebtedness, in the form of loans,
as customers.  These loans were made on substantially the same terms,  including
interest rates and  collateral,  as those  prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions  with other customers and did not involve more than the normal risk
of  collectibility.  None of these loans are in default or past due more than 90
days.

     The following is a summary of activity during 1997 for such loans:

- ----------------------------------------------------------
    Balance, January 1, 1997                     $774,535
    New loans granted                             422,653

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

     At December 31,  1997,  1996 and 1995,  DNB had  impaired  loans with total
recorded investments of $1.8 million, $1.4 million and $1.9 million, and average
recorded  investments  for the years ended  December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995 of
$1.6 million, $1.6 million and $2.7 million,  respectively. The aggregate amount
of impaired loans are measured under the fair value  measurement  method.  As of
December 31, 1997,  there was no related  allowance for credit losses  necessary
for these  impaired  loans.  As of  December  31,  1996 and 1995,  the amount of
recorded  investments in impaired  loans for which

there is a related  allowance  for credit  losses  was  $160,000  and  $314,000,
respectively.  The amount of related allowance at December 31, 1996 and 1995 was
$160,000 and $128,000  respectively.  The amount of the recorded  investment  in
impaired  loans for which there was no related  allowance  for credit  losses at
December 31, 1996 is $1.3 million.  Total cash  collected on impaired  loans was
credited  to the  outstanding  principal  balance in the  amounts  of  $241,000,
$83,000 and $253,000 during the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995. No
interest  income was  recorded  on such loans in each of the three  years  ended
December 31, 1997.

                                    1997         1996
- ---------------------------------------------------------
Federal funds purchased and 
   repurchase agreements:
   At December 31                $       --   $11,225,273
   Average during year            2,572,514     8,910,192
   Maximum month-end balance      8,145,419    14,003,865
   Average rate during year           4.27%         5.00%
- ---------------------------------------------------------

     Federal funds purchased generally represent one-day borrowings.  Securities
sold under repur-chase  agreements,  which totaled $11.2 million at December 31,
1996, represent overnight borrowings that are secured by U.S. agency securities.

     DNB also had other short term borrowed funds outstanding during 1997. These
consisted  of FHLB  borrowings  with an  average  balance  for the  year of $1.5
million.  The maximum  month-end  balance was  $3,000,000  and the average  rate
during the year was 5.77%.

(8)  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     Fair value  assumptions,  methods,  and  estimates  are set forth below for
DNB's financial instruments.

   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  uncer-

                                                                              29

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

tainties and matters of significant  judgment and therefore cannot be determined
with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

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

   Investments and Mortgage-backed Securities

     The  carrying  amounts  for  short-term  investments  (Federal  funds sold)
approximate   fair  value.  The  fair  value  of  longer  term  investments  and
mortgage-backed  securities  is  estimated  based  on bid  prices  published  in
financial  newspapers or bid quotations  received from securities  dealers.  The
carrying  amounts  of stocks  with no stated  maturity  approximate  fair  value
because such shares may be redeemed at par.

   Loans

     Fair values are  estimated for  portfolios of loans with similar  financial
characteristics.  Loans are  segregated by type such as  commercial,  commercial
mortgages,  residential  mortgages,  consumer and student loans,  and nonaccrual
loans.

     The fair value of performing  loans is calculated by  discounting  expected
cash flows using an estimated market discount rate.  Expected cash flows include
both  contractual  cash flows and  prepayments of loan balances.  Prepayments on
consumer  loans were  determined  using the median of  estimates  of  securities
dealers for mortgage-backed investment pools.

     The  estimated  discount  rate  considers  credit  and  interest  rate risk
inherent in the loan portfolios and other factors such as liquidity premiums and
incremental  servicing  costs to an investor.  Management  has made estimates of
fair value discount rates that it believes to be  reasonable.  However,  because
there is no market for many of these  financial  instruments,  management has no
basis to determine whether the fair value presented below would be indicative of
the value negotiated in an actual sale.

     The fair value for nonaccrual  loans was derived  through a discounted cash
flow analysis, which includes the opportunity costs of carrying a non-performing
asset. An estimated  discount rate was used for all nonaccrual  loans,  based on
the probability of loss and the expected time to recovery.

   Deposit and Repurchase Liabilities

     The  fair   value  of   deposits   with  no   stated   maturity,   such  as
non-interest-bearing deposits, savings, NOW and money market accounts as well as
repurchase  agreements,  is equal to the amount payable on demand as of December
31,  1997 and 1996.  The fair value of  certificates  of deposit is based on the
present  value of  contractual  cash flows.  The discount  rates used to compute
present values are estimated using the rates  currently  offered for deposits of
similar maturities in DNB's marketplace.

   Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit

     The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated  using the fees
currently  charged to enter into  similar  agreements,  taking into  account the
remaining terms of the agreements.  The fair value of letters of credit is based
on fees currently charged for similar agreements.

(9)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

     Income tax expense was comprised of the following:

                               Year Ended December 31
                             1997        1996        1995

     The  effective  income  tax rates of 24% for 1997,  22% for 1996 and 8% for
1995 were less than the applicable statutory Federal income tax rate. The reason
for these differences follows:

                               1997         1996       1995

     The tax  effects of  temporary  differences  that give rise to  significant

     Based upon DNB's  current and  historical  tax history and the  anticipated
level of future taxable  income,  management  believes the existing net deferred
tax asset  will,  more likely  than not,  be  realized  based on future  taxable
income.  The  reductions  in the valuation  allowance for deferred  taxes during
1997, 1996 and 1995 are attributable to improved earnings and expected continued
improvement  through the subsequent one year period  permitted under  applicable
regulations.

(11) BENEFIT PLANS

   Pension Plan

     The Bank  maintains a 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 Pension Plan's assets are invested using an asset allocation  strategy,
in units of certain equity, bond, real estate and money market funds.

   401(k) Retirement Savings Plan

     The Bank's retirement  savings plan enables employees to become eligible to
participate  after one year of service,  and will thereafter  participate in the
401(k)  plan for any year in which they have been  employed  for at least  1,000
hours. In general, amounts held in a participant's account are not distributable
until the participant terminates employment, reaches age 59 1/2, dies or becomes
permanently disabled.

     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 Bank
makes matching  contributions  of $.25 for every dollar of deferred salary up to
6% of each participant's annual compensation. Each participant is 100% vested at
all times in employee and employer contributions.  The matching contributions to
the 401(k)  plan were  $29,000,  $30,000  and  $28,000  in 1997,  1996 and 1995,
respectively.

   Stock-based Compensation

     DNB has a Stock Option Plan for  employees and  directors.  Under the plan,
options  (both  qualified  and  non-qualified)  to purchase a maximum of 150,490
shares of DNB's common stock could be issued to employees and directors.  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 58,185
and  85,144  shares   available  for  grant  at  December  31,  1997  and  1996,
respectively.  At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the number of options  exercisable
was 92,305 and 65,346, respectively,  and the weighted average exercise price of
those options was $13.55 and $11.18, respectively.

                                                                              33

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     At December 31, 1997, the range of exercise prices was $9.83-$19.29 and the
weighted-average  remaining  contractual life of the outstanding options was 8.4
years.

     The per share  weighted-average  fair value of stock options granted during
1997,  1996 and 1995 was $6.13,  $4.57 and $3.94 on the date of grant  using the
Black  Scholes   option-pricing   model  with  the  following   weighted-average
assumptions:  for 1997-expected dividend yield of 2.73%, risk-free interest rate
of 5.77%,  expected  life of 9.5 years and an expected  volatility of stock over
the expected life of the options was 26%; for  1996-expected  dividend  yield of
1.98%,  risk-free  interest  rate of 6.3%,  expected  life of 9.5  years  and an
expected  volatility  of stock over the expected life of the options of 22%; for
1995-expected  dividend yield of .91%, risk-free interest rate of 5.6%, expected
life of 8.5 years and an expected  volatility of stock over the expected life of
the options of 22%.

     DNB applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its Stock Option Plan, and
accordingly,  no compensation  cost has been recognized for its stock options in
the financial statements. 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 at the top of the next column:

(12) 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,  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  standby  letters  of credit in the amount of
approximately  $1.8 million and unfunded loan and lines of credit commitments in
the amount of approximately $19.8 million at December 31, 1997.

     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 standby  letters of
credit is represented by the contractual amount. Manage-

ment  uses the same  credit  policies  in  making  commitments  and  conditional
obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

     Standby  letters of credit  are  conditional  commitments  issued by DNB to
guarantee the performance 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
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 a correspondent bank and the FHLB
of Pittsburgh,  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 short-term credit of approximately $49 million.

     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.

(14) 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.

     Federal banking  agencies impose three minimum capital  requirements on DNB
- -- risk-based capital ratios based on total capital and "Tier 1" capital,  and a
leverage capital ratio. The risk-based  capital ratios measure the adequacy of a
bank's  capital  against  the  riskiness  of its  assets and  off-balance  sheet
activities.  Failure  to  maintain  adequate  capital  is a  basis  for  "prompt
corrective action" or other regulatory enforcement action. 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 on the
next page.  Management believes that DNB meets all capital adequacy requirements
to which it is subject.

     The  most  recent  notification  from  the  OCC,  dated  February  4,  1997
categorized DNB as "Well Capitalized" under the regulatory  framework for prompt
corrective  action.  To be  categorized as Well  Capitalized,  DNB must maintain
minimum ratios as set forth on the next page.  There are no conditions or events
since that  notification,  that  management  believes  would have changed  DNB's
category. Actual capital amounts and ratios are as follows.

Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
DNB Financial Corporation:

     We have  audited the  accompanying  consolidated  statements  of  financial
condition of DNB Financial  Corporation  and  subsidiary as of December 31, 1997
and 1996, and the related consolidated  statements of operations,  stockholders'
equity,  and cash  flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period  ended
December  31,   1997.   These   consolidated   financial   statements   are  the
responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted  our audits in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
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
