DNB Financial Corporation

Announces Earnings for the Third Quarter

(October 31, 2007 – Downingtown, PA) DNB Financial Corporation (“DNB”), parent of DNB First, National Association, reported net income of $474,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to $417,000 or $0.17 per diluted share, for the same period in 2006.

William S. Latoff, Chairman and CEO, of DNB said: “The Bank focused on managing non-interest expenses and development of our Retail sales strategy during the quarter. These efforts have produced some encouraging results. Net income increased 13.67% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 over the same period in 2006 and 1.46% for the 9 months ended September 30, 2007 over the year-earlier period. Non-interest expense was down 1.65% compared to the second quarter of 2007.”

Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $1.1 million compared to $871,000 for the same period in 2006 and included gain on sale of securities of $178,000. Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was down slightly compared to the same period in 2006, but was up $114,000 on a year to date basis when compared to 2006.

Overall, deposits increased $16.1 million as compared to December 31, 2006. Demand, money market, NOW and savings deposits, which DNB First considers core to its deposit-gathering strategy, were up in aggregate on a net basis by $6.7 million compared to December 31, 2006. Management considers these types of deposits to be a key indicator of the Bank’s ability to generate lower cost funds that are longer in duration and can better support the bank’s liquidity needs.

Mr. Latoff continued: “The density of banking institutions in our market and the overall economic climate continue to pose challenges for DNB First and many banks in our region. DNB First does not participate in the sub-prime lending market. However, the market shock introduced by the sub-prime lending meltdown resulted in the Federal Reserve dropping overnight rates by ½ of a percent in September to provide increased market stability and liquidity.”

A drop in the Prime rate and an ongoing soft market for commercial lending contributed to an overall decline in loan balances and net interest margin. Loan balances declined $9.3 million or 2.82% compared to December 31, 2006. Despite the overall drop, consumer loan balances, consisting primarily of Home Equity loans and lines, were up as the result of retail sales efforts that focused on other customer needs in addition to rate. Consumer loan balances were up $1.5 million or 2.70% compared to December 31, 2006. The net interest margin for the quarter of 3.10% represented a decline of 11 basis points from the second quarter of 2007 and 10 basis points compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

On a net basis, total borrowings at September 30, 2007 were down 30.92% or $34.2 million from December 31, 2006. This is consistent with the Bank’s strategy to reduce absolute levels of borrowings with growth in deposits and cash flows from existing loans and investments. While overall assets were down $12.0 million at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006, there is no change in DNB’s five year plan begun in 2003 to improve earnings through loan growth and lower funding costs.

Latoff concluded: “Our strategic implementations, including branch additions and existing branch renovations, have required significant up-front expense. They are necessary to offer the service level which our targeted audience expects in this very competitive market.”
