As of December 31, 2014, there were nine mortgage-backed securities, thirty-one municipalities, seven corporate bonds, eleven agency notes, sixteen collateralized mortgage obligations and five equity securities which were in an unrealized loss position. DNB does not intend to sell these securities and management of DNB does not expect to be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of its cost basis. Management has reviewed all of these securities and believes that DNB will collect all principal and interest that is due on debt securities on a timely basis. Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of December 31, 2014 represents an other-than-temporary impairment. DNB reviews its investment portfolio on a quarterly basis judging each investment for OTTI. The OTTI analysis focuses on the duration and the amount a particular security is below book.

Factors affecting the market price include credit risk, market risk, interest rates, economic cycles, and liquidity risk. The magnitude of any unrealized loss may be affected by the relative concentration of the Corporation’s investment in any one issuer or industry. DNB has established policies to reduce exposure through diversification of concentration of the investment portfolio including limits on concentrations to any one issuer and as such, management believes the investment portfolio is prudently diversified.

The declines in value are related to a change in interest rates and/or subsequent change in credit spreads required for these issues affecting market price. All issues are performing and are expected to continue to perform in accordance with their respective contractual terms and conditions. Short to intermediate average durations and in certain cases monthly principal payments should reduce further market value exposure to increases in rates.

Collateralized mortgage obligations GSE There are sixteen impaired securities classified as collateralized mortgage obligations, twelve of which were impaired for more than 12 months. All of these securities were issued and insured by FNMA, FHLMC or GNMA. DNB receives monthly principal and interest payments on all of these securities on a timely basis and none of these agencies has ever defaulted on mortgage-backed principal or interest. DNB anticipates a recovery in the market value as the securities approach their maturity dates or if interest rates decline from December 31, 2014 levels. Management concluded that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2014.

State and municipal tax-exempt There are thirty-one impaired securities in this category, which are comprised of intermediate to long-term municipal bonds, twenty-six of which were impaired for more than 12 months. All of the issues carry an “A” or better underlying credit support and were evaluated on the basis on their underlying fundamentals; included but not limited to annual financial reports, geographic location, population and debt ratios. In certain cases, options for calls reduce the effective duration and in turn the future market value fluctuations. All issues are performing and are expected to continue to perform in accordance with their respective contractual terms and conditions. There have not been disruptions of any payments, associated with any of these municipal securities. These bonds are conservative in nature and the value decline is related to the changes in interest rates that occurred since the time of purchase and subsequent changes in spreads affecting the market prices. Twenty-two of the impaired municipals are school districts that have PA school district credit enhancement programs and eighteen of those also have additional insurance. The remaining nine are four insured school districts, two uninsured school district, and three uninsured townships, all of which have strong underlying ratings. Management concluded that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2014.

US Government agency obligations There are eleven impaired securities classified as agencies, four of which were impaired for more than 12 months. All of these securities were issued and insured by FHLB, FNMA, or FHLMC. DNB has received timely interest payments on all of these securities and none of these agencies has ever defaulted on their bonds. DNB anticipates a recovery in the market value as the securities approach their maturity dates. Management concluded that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2014.

GSE mortgage-backed securities There are nine impaired bonds classified as GSE mortgage-backed securities, four of which were impaired for more than 12 months. All of these securities were issued and insured by FNMA, FHLMC or GNMA. DNB receives monthly principal and interest payments on all of these securities on a timely basis and none of these agencies has ever defaulted on mortgage-backed principal or interest. DNB anticipates a recovery in the market value as the securities approach their maturity dates or if interest rates decline from December 31, 2014 levels. Management concluded that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2014.

Corporate bonds There were seven impaired bonds classified as corporate bonds, two of which were impaired for more than 12 months. The bonds are investment grade and the value decline is related to the changes in interest rates that occurred since the time of purchase and subsequent changes in spreads affecting the market prices. All of the issues carry an “A” or better underlying credit support and were evaluated on the basis on their underlying fundamentals; included but not limited to annual financial reports, rating agency reports, capital strength and debt ratios. DNB anticipates a recovery in the market value as the securities approach their maturity dates or if interest rates decline from December 31, 2014 levels. Management concluded that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2014.

Equity securities There were six marketable equity securities which consisted primarily of Pennsylvania community bank common stocks. The unrealized losses on five of the six investments in the Equity securities portfolio were all impaired for more than 12 months. The severity and duration of the impairment are driven by higher collateral losses, wider credit spreads, and changes in interest rates within the financial services sector. DNB evaluated the prospects of all issuers in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment. Based on this analysis and an evaluation of DNB’s ability and intent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for each security to increase to DNB’s cost, DNB does not intend to sell these investments and it is not more likely than not that DNB will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their cost, DNB does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2014.

In determining that the securities giving rise to the previously mentioned unrealized losses were not other than temporary, the Corporation evaluated the factors cited above, which the Corporation considers when assessing whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired. In making these evaluations the Corporation must exercise considerable judgment. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the actual results will not differ from the Corporation’s judgments and that such differences may not require the future recognition of other-than-temporary impairment charges that could have a material affect on the Corporation’s financial position and results of operations. In addition, the value of, and the realization of any loss on, an investment security is subject to numerous risks as cited above.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities as of December 31, 2014, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain securities may be called or prepaid without penalties.
