See notes to the consolidated financial statements. 5. DCB FINANCIAL CORP. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Dollars in thousands) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES These interim financial statements are prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of DCB Financial Corp. (the "Corporation") at September 30, 2002, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions of Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not purport to contain all necessary financial disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances, and should be read in conjunction with financial statements, and notes thereto, of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2001, included in its 2001 annual report. Refer to the accounting policies of the Corporation described in the notes to financial statements contained in the Corporation's 2001 annual report. The Corporation has consistently followed these policies in preparing this Form 10-Q. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Delaware County Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank"). The financial statements of the Bank include accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, D.C.B. Corporation and 362 Corp. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Management considers the Corporation to operate in one segment, banking. To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan and lease losses, fair values of financial instruments and status of contingencies are particularly subject to change. Income tax expense is based on the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the entire year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 4,168,234 for the three and 4,172,872 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 4,178,200 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001. The Corporation has no potentially dilutive securities. 6. DCB FINANCIAL CORP. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Dollars in thousands) NOTE 2 - SECURITIES The Corporation sold a security classified as held to maturity in August 2002. Consequently, the Corporation now will be required to classify all securities for the foreseeable future as available for sale. As a result, the Corporation transferred $27,284 of securities classified as held to maturity to available for sale. The unrealized gain at the time the securities were transferred was $310. The after tax effect of the transfer was to increase equity by $205 and is reflected as a cumulative effect adjustment in other comprehensive income. The amortized cost and estimated fair values of securities were as follows:

9. DCB FINANCIAL CORP. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations INTRODUCTION In the following pages, management presents an analysis of the consolidated financial condition of DCB Financial Corp. (the "Corporation") at September 30, 2002 compared to December 31, 2001, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001. This discussion is designed to provide shareholders with a more comprehensive review of the operating results and financial position than could be obtained from an examination of the financial statements alone. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes and the selected financial data included elsewhere in this report. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements in this report constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, such as statements relating to the financial condition and prospects, lending risks, plans for future business development and marketing activities, capital spending and financing sources, capital structure, the effects of regulation and competition, and the prospective business of both the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary The Delaware County Bank & Trust Company (the "Bank"). Where used in this report, the word "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," and similar words and expressions, as they relate to the Corporation or the Bank or their respective management, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements reflect the current views of the Corporation and are based on information currently available to the management of the Corporation and the Bank and upon current expectations, estimates, and projections about the Corporation and its industry, management's belief with respect thereto, and certain assumptions made by management. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) significant increases in competitive pressure in the banking and financial services industries; (ii) changes in the interest rate environment which could reduce anticipated or actual margins; (iii) changes in political conditions or the legislative or regulatory environment; (iv) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally (especially in central Ohio), becoming less favorable than expected resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality of assets; (v) changes occurring in business conditions and inflation; (vi) changes in technology; (vii) changes in monetary and tax policies; (viii) changes in the securities markets; and (ix) other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the filings of the Corporation with the Commission. The Corporation does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION The Corporation's assets totaled $534,541 at September 30, 2002, compared to $519,380 at December 31, 2001, an increase of $15,161, or 2.92%. The increase in assets was primarily the result of an increase in loans, leases, and cash and cash equivalents during the period, partially offset by a decrease in investment securities. Cash and cash equivalents increased $9,465 from December 31, 2001 to September 30, 2002. This increase was the result of the Corporation decreasing its investment in securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to fund anticipated future loan growth, and to ensure sufficient liquidity needed to meet the needs of its growing deposit base. 10. DCB FINANCIAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) Total securities decreased $10,109, or 8.51%, from $118,739 at December 31, 2001 to $108,630 at September 30, 2002. The decrease was the result of the proceeds from sales, maturities, calls and principal repayments not being reinvested due to an anticipated future increase in loan demand. The Corporation invests primarily in U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. government agencies, municipal bonds, corporate obligations and mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities include Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") and Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") participation certificates. Securities classified as available for sale totaled $108,630, or 100% of the total securities portfolio, at September 30, 2002. During the third quarter 2002, the company reclassified its held-to-maturity securities to available for sale. The change was initiated, as required by FASB Statement No. 115, after the Corporation sold a security that was designated as held-to-maturity in order to adjust the portfolio as was deemed appropriate by management. The resulting increase in the available-for-sale securities will help ensure that sufficient liquidity remains available to the institution for future funding needs. Management classifies securities as available for sale to provide the Corporation with the flexibility to move funds into loans as demand warrants. The mortgage-backed securities portfolio, totaling $31,750 at September 30, 2002, provides the Corporation with a constant cash flow stream from principal repayments. The Corporation held no derivative securities or structured notes during any period presented. Total loans increased $13,310, or 3.67%, from $362,556 at December 31, 2001 to $375,866 at September 30, 2002. The majority of this growth is attributed to the change in commercial real estate lending which increased by $16,921 from year-end 2001 to the end of this quarter. Other loan categories in which the Corporation participates, commercial, residential and consumer financing, remained relatively stable or experienced small declines in volume. The Bank's local market continues to experience increases in the amount of commercial real estate development activity. There is no significant concentration of lending to any one industry. Total deposits increased $4,719, or 1.10%, from $430,714 at December 31, 2001 to $435,433 at September 30, 2002. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $3,166, or 4.53%, while interest-bearing deposits increased $1,553, or .4%. The increase was primarily in the Corporation's "Bank Investment" deposit accounts, which offer a variable interest rate tied to the 3 Month Treasury Bill. Additionally, the organization has increased its borrowing in FHLB loans to augment the deposit base in order to fund continued loan growth. COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 NET INCOME. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 totaled $757, compared to net income of $950 for the same period in 2001. Earnings per share was $.18 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $.23 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income represents the amount by which interest income on interest-earning assets exceeds interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the largest component of the Corporation's income, and is affected by the interest rate environment, the volume, and the composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income was $5,377 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $4,916 for the same period in 2001. The $461 increase in 2002 over 2001 was the result of a continued increase in the balances of interest earning assets combined with lower cost of funds resulting from the continued low interest rates during the third quarter of 2002. The Asset/Liability Management Committee, which is responsible for determining deposit rates, continues to closely monitor the banks cost of funds to take advantage of pricing and cash flow opportunities. PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES. The provision for loan and lease losses represents the charge to income necessary to adjust the allowance for loan and lease losses to an amount that represents management's assessment 11. DCB FINANCIAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) of the losses inherent in the Corporation's loan portfolio. All lending activity contains associated risks of losses and the Corporation recognizes these credit risks as a necessary element of its business activity. To assist in identifying and managing potential loan losses, the Corporation maintains a loan review function that regularly evaluates individual credit relationships as well as overall loan-portfolio conditions. One of the primary objectives of this loan review function is to make recommendations to management as to both specific loss reserves and overall portfolio-loss reserves. During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Corporation commenced a review of its methodology for determining potential loan and lease losses and establishing appropriate allowance for loan and lease losses. As of the end of this period, the Corporation was still continuing such review and no conclusions had been reached concerning such methodology. The provision for loan and lease losses totaled $900 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $242 for the same period in 2001. The growth in the provision is reflective of the overall growth in the Corporation's loan portfolio as well as an increase in net charge offs between the two periods. During the third quarter management elected to charge-off a substantial portion of a number of commercial loans that were determined to be uncollectible. The Corporation has also experienced an increase in nonperforming loans from $3,590 at December 31, 2001 to $4,630 at September 30, 2002. Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2002 were $1,363 compared to net charge-offs of $226 for the same period in 2001. Management will continue to monitor the credit quality of the lending portfolio and will recognize additional provision in the future as necessary, in the opinion of management, to maintain the provisions for loan and lease losses at an appropriate level. The allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $3,330, or .89% of total loans and leases, at September 30, 2002 compared to $3,596, or .99% of total loans and leases, at December 31, 2001. The allowance was 71.92% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2002, compared to 100.17% at December 31, 2001, resulting from increased nonperforming loans. NONINTEREST INCOME AND NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Total noninterest income increased $180, or 14.42%, for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The increase was the result of an increase in transactional volume from the banks' retail products, and due to a large increase on the volume of sales of secondary market loans. Total noninterest expense increased $385, or 8.79%, for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The increase was primarily the result of increases in salaries and employee benefits and professional fees. Additionally, the organization experienced an increase in professional fees to address legal matters related to shareholder activities, and an increase in audit fees. The increase in salaries and benefits were planned increases necessary to support the continued growth of the Corporation and are expected to remain at these higher levels in the future. INCOME TAXES. The change of income tax expense is primarily attributable to the change in income before income taxes. The provision for income taxes totaled $383, for an effective tax rate of 33.5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and $592, for an effective tax rate of 38.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2001. COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 NET INCOME. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 totaled $3,380, compared to net income of $3,809 for the same period in 2001. Earnings per share was $.81 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $.91 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This decline is attributed to an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses, made in anticipation of possible credit losses due to the unstable economic environment. The 12. DCB FINANCIAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) decline in net income is also attributed to the additional administrative cost of salary and benefits needed to support the growth of the organization, and costs of equipment and other fixed assets associated with the development of the new corporate headquarters in Lewis Center, Ohio. NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income was $16,238 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $14,532 for the same period in 2001. The $1,706 increase in 2002 over 2001 was the result of an increased volume of interest-earning assets partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing liabilities carried at an overall lower cost. To remain competitive, management has elected to offer attractive, competitive rates to retain deposits, provided the funds can be invested in income-earning assets with adequate yields. PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES. The provision for loan and lease losses totaled $1,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $572 for the same period in 2001. Exposure to credit losses in the commercial loan portfolio required the recognition of additional provision compared to the prior year. Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $1,966 compared to net charge-offs of $393 for the same period in 2001. As previously mentioned, the Corporation elected to charge off significant portions of a number of large commercial loans that were determined to be uncollectable. This increase in charge-offs was due to a number of factors including--deteriorating economic conditions that affected the commercial loan portfolio, and management's decision to accelerate its workout strategies for certain borrowers. Management will continue to monitor the credit quality of the lending portfolio and will recognize additional provision in the future as necessary, in the opinion of management, to maintain the provision for loan and lease losses at an appropriate level. NONINTEREST INCOME AND NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Total noninterest income increased $339, or 8.76%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The increase was the result of an increase in fee income from the Corporation's trust department, cash management fees and data processing fees. Total noninterest expense increased $1,608, or 13.35%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The increase was primarily the result of increases in salaries and employee benefits and occupancy expense, where such increases made up $854 of the total increase. These were planned increases necessary to support the continued growth of the Corporation. Additionally, the organization experienced an increase in professional fees to address legal matters related to shareholder activities and an increase in audit fees. INCOME TAXES. The volatility of income tax expense is primarily attributable to the change in income before income taxes. The provision for income taxes totaled $1,717, for an effective tax rate of 33.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and $1,979, for an effective tax rate of 34.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. LIQUIDITY Liquidity is the ability of the Corporation to fund customers' needs for borrowing and deposit withdrawals. The purpose of liquidity management is to assure sufficient cash flow to meet all of the financial commitments and to capitalize on opportunities for business expansion. This ability depends on the institution's financial strength, asset quality and types of deposit and investment instruments offered by the Corporation to its customers. The Corporation's principal sources of funds are deposits, loan and security repayments, maturities of securities, sales of securities available for sale and other funds provided by operations. The Bank also has the ability to borrow from the FHLB. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan and mortgage-backed security prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions, and competition. The Corporation maintains investments in liquid assets based upon management's assessment of (1) need for funds, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on short-term liquid assets and (4) objectives of the asset/liability management program. 13. DCB FINANCIAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) Cash and cash equivalents increased $9,465, or 52.7%, to $27,410 at September 30, 2002 compared to $17,945 at December 31, 2001. Cash and equivalents represented 5.13% of total assets at September 30, 2002 and 3.46% of total assets at December 31, 2001. The Corporation has the ability to borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank and has various correspondent banking partners to trade overnight federal funds, should the Corporation need to supplement its future liquidity needs in order to meet loan demand or to fund investment opportunities. During the quarter, the entire held-to-maturity securities portfolio was re-classed to available for sale. This will allow those securities to be used for liquidity purposes as necessary. Management believes the Corporation's liquidity position is strong based on its high level of cash, cash equivalents, core deposits, the stability of its other funding sources and the support provided by its capital base. CAPITAL RESOURCES Total shareholders' equity increased $3,379 between December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2002. The increase was due to earnings retained and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Corporation purchased 11,310 shares of treasury stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and may purchase additional shares in the future, as opportunities arise. The number of shares to be purchased and the price to be paid will depend upon the availability of shares, prevailing market prices and any other considerations, which may, in the opinion of the Corporation's Board of Directors or management, affect the advisability of purchasing shares. On April 24, 2002, the Corporation announced a stock repurchase program whereby the Board of Directors authorized management to repurchase up to 400,000 shares, or approximately 10% of the Corporation's outstanding common stock. Total treasury shares were 104,966 as of September 30, 2002 compared to 95,000 as of December 31, 2001. Tier 1 capital is shareholders' equity excluding the unrealized gain or loss on securities classified as available for sale and intangible assets. Total capital includes Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses, not to exceed 1.25% of risk weighted assets. Risk weighted assets are the Corporation's total assets after such assets are assessed for risk and assigned a weighting factor defined by regulation based on their inherent risk. The Corporation and its subsidiaries meet all regulatory capital requirements. The ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets was 13.7% at September 30, 2002, while the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.8%. Regulatory minimums call for a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, at least half of which must be Tier 1 capital. The Corporation's leverage ratio, defined as Tier 1 capital divided by average assets, of 9.8% at September 30, 2002. IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141. "Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations within its scope to be accounted for using the purchase method, rather than the pooling-of-interests method. The provisions of this Statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The adoption of this Statement will only impact the Corporation's financial statements if it enters into a business combination. Also in June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which addresses the accounting for such assets arising from prior and future business combinations and acquisitions. Upon the adoption of this Statement, goodwill arising from business combinations will no longer be amortized, but rather will be assessed regularly for impairment, with any such impairment recognized as a reduction to earnings in the period identified. Other 14. DCB FINANCIAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) identified intangible assets, such as core deposit intangible assets, will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Corporation was required to and did adopt this Statement on January 1, 2002. The adoption of this Statement has not impacted the Corporation's financial statements, as it has no intangible assets. The FASB also issued SFAS No. 143, "Asset Retirement Obligations." The provisions of this standard apply to asset retirements beginning in 2003. The Corporation does not believe this standard will have a material affect on its financial position or results of operations. Effective January 1, 2002, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 144, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The effect of this standard on the financial position and results of operations of the Corporation was not material. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendments of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections". This Statement eliminates inconsistency between the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions and sale-leaseback transactions. The Corporation does not believe this statement has had or will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". This Statement addresses the timing of recognition of a liability for exit and disposal cost at the time a liability is incurred, rather than at a plan commitment date, as previously required. Exit or disposal costs will be measured at fair value, and the recorded liability will be subsequently adjusted for changes in estimated cash flows. This Statement is required to be effective for exit or disposal activities entered after December 31, 2002, and early adoption is encouraged. The Corporation does not believe this statement will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions". This standard requires any unidentifiable intangible asset previously recorded as a result of a business combination to be reclassified as goodwill and the amortization of this asset will cease. The effect of this standard on the financial position and results of operations of the Corporation was not material, as the Corporation does not have any unidentified intangible assets. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND MARKET RISK The Corporation's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. Interest rate risk is the possibility that the Corporation's financial condition will be adversely affected due to movements in interest rates. The income of financial institutions is primarily derived from the excess of interest earned on interest-earning assets over the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Accordingly, the Corporation places great importance on monitoring and controlling interest rate risk. The measurement and analysis of the exposure of the Corporation's primary operating subsidiary, The Delaware County Bank and Trust Company, to changes in the interest rate environment are referred to as asset/liability management. One method used to analyze the Corporation's sensitivity to changes in interest rates is the "net portfolio value" ("NPV") methodology. NPV is generally considered to be the present value of the difference between expected incoming cash flows on interest-earning and other assets and expected outgoing cash flows on interest-bearing and other liabilities. For example, the asset/liability model that the Corporation currently employs attempts to measure the change in NPV for a variety of interest rate scenarios, typically for parallel shifts of 100 to 300 basis points in market rates. 15. DCB FINANCIAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) The Corporation's 2001 annual report includes a table depicting the changes in the Corporation's interest rate risk as of December 31, 2001, as measured by changes in NPV for instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts of 100 to 300 basis points in market interest rates. Management believes that no events have occurred since December 31, 2001 that would significantly change their ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities. The Corporation's NPV is more sensitive to rising rates than declining rates. From an overall perspective, such difference in sensitivity occurs principally because, as rates rise, borrowers do not prepay fixed-rate loans as quickly as they do when interest rates are declining. Thus, in a rising interest rate environment, because the Corporation has fixed-rate loans in its loan portfolio, the amount of interest the Corporation would receive on its loans would increase relatively slowly as loans are slowly prepaid and new loans at higher rates are made. Moreover, the interest the Corporation would pay on its deposits would increase rapidly because the Corporation's deposits generally have shorter periods for repricing. Additional consideration should also be given to today's current interest rate levels. Several deposit products are within 200 basis points of zero percent and other products within 300 basis points. Should rates continue to decline, fewer liabilities could be repriced down to offset potentially lower yields on loans. Thus decreases could also impact future earnings and the Corporation's NPV. As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the NPV approach. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayment on loans and mortgage-backed securities and early withdrawal levels from certificates of deposit would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in making risk calculations. Item 4. Controls and Procedures Within the 90-day period prior to the filing date of this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 (c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on their evaluation, the Company's Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are, to the best of their knowledge, effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There were no significant changes made in the Corporation's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation performed by the Company's Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. 16.
