Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the Registrant's year ended December 31, 2003. Consolidation has resulted in the elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. Cash Flows For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold, and interest-bearing deposits except for time deposits. Federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods. Per share data Earnings per common share are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, as follows: 2004 2003 Three months ended September 30 3,216,586 3,234,983 Nine months ended September 30 3,222,068 3,238,309 2.

Outstanding loan commitments and letters of credit consist of: September 30, 2004 2003 Loan commitments $28,387,145 $24,224,769 Standby letters of credit $ 1,843,425 $ 2,525,518 Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary Part I. Financial Information Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of and made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Litigation Securities Reform Act of 1995. The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of the Registrant (the Company) should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and related notes and other statistical information included elsewhere herein. General Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated as a Maryland corporation on October 31, 1995. The Company owns all of the stock of Calvin B. Taylor Banking Company (the "Bank"), a commercial bank that was established in 1890 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on December 17, 1907. The Bank operates nine branches in Worcester County, Maryland and one branch in Ocean View, Delaware. The Bank's administrative office is located in Berlin, Maryland. The Bank is engaged in a general commercial and retail banking business serving individuals, businesses, and governmental units in Worcester County, Maryland, Ocean View, Delaware, and neighboring counties. The Company currently engages in no business other than owning and managing the Bank. Critical Accounting Policies The Company's financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting measurements and estimates of inherently uncertain matters. When applying accounting policies in areas that are subjective in nature, management uses its best judgment to arrive at the carrying value of certain assets. One of the most critical accounting policies applied is related to the valuation of the loan portfolio. Management estimates the appropriate allowance for loan losses, including the timing of loan charge-offs. The allowance for loan losses represents a reserve for potential losses in the loan portfolio. It is one of the most difficult and subjective judgments. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is evaluated periodically based on a review of the loan portfolio, with a particular emphasis on non-accruing, past due, and other loans that management believes require attention. The determination of the reserve level relies on management's judgment about factors affecting loan quality, current trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, and anticipated changes in the composition and size of the portfolio. Management also considers external factors such as changes in the interest rate environment, the view of the Bank's regulators, economic conditions in the Bank's service area and beyond, and legislation that affects the banking industry. Financial Condition Total assets of the Company increased $25.7 million from December 31, 2003 to September 30, 2004. Combined deposits and customer repurchase agreements increased $22.0 million during the same period. During the first quarter of the year, the Bank typically experiences a decline in deposits since business customers are using their deposits to meet cash flow needs. Generally, this situation reverses late in the second quarter of the year as the Bank receives deposits from seasonal business customers, summer residents and tourists. During the first nine months of 2003, this traditional pattern did not apply. Management believes that adverse conditions in the stock markets contributed to unusually large increases in deposits in the first three quarters of last year. After nearly three years of unusually large deposit increases, the Bank appears to be returning to a more historically typical model in 2004. During the first nine months of 2004, the Bank's gross loan portfolio decreased $4.0 million. Management believes that steep competition in a historically low interest rate market is responsible for much of this decline. Historically, the Company has low loan charge-offs. Based on a review of the consolidated loan portfolio, the Company determined that an allowance of 1.36% of gross loans was adequate as of September 30, 2004. At December 31, 2003, the allowance was 1.33% of gross loans. At September 30, 2004, there was one non-accruing loan with an outstanding principal balance of $866. Loans delinquent ninety days or more, and still accruing interest, totaled $302,568 or .19% of the portfolio. Liquidity The Company's major sources of liquidity are loan repayments, maturities of short-term investments including federal funds sold, and increases in core deposits. Throughout the first quarter of the year, when the Bank typically experiences a decline in deposits, federal funds sold and investment securities are primary sources of liquidity. During the second quarter of the year, additional sources of liquidity become more readily available as business borrowers start repaying loans, and the Bank receives seasonal deposits. Throughout the second and third quarters the Bank maintains a high liquidity level. Funds from seasonal deposits are generally invested in short-term U.S. Treasury Bills and overnight federal funds. Average liquid assets (cash and amounts due from banks, interest bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold, and investment securities) compared to average deposits were 69.85% for the third quarter of 2004 compared to 67.47% for the third quarter of 2003. This increase in liquidity is primarily due to growth in deposits, which has not been accompanied by a corresponding increase in demand for loans. Results of Operations Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2004, was $1,447,964 or $.45 per share, compared to $1,429,125 or $.44 per share for the third quarter of 2003. This represents an increase of $18,839 or 1.32% from the prior year. Year to date net income decreased $69,829 or $.02 per share to $4,161,841 or $1.29 per share in 2004 from $4,231,670 or $1.31 per share in 2003. The year to date decrease in net income is comprised of a $128,686 decrease in net interest income, a $148,578 increase in non-interest revenues, a $204,721 increase in non-interest expense, and a $115,000 decrease in income tax expense. Net interest income decreased $128,686 in the first nine months of 2004 compared to the first nine months of 2003, largely attributable to the fall of market rates throughout 2001 through 2003. Although deposit rates dropped to their current level in July 2003, the Bank's loan and investment portfolios have continued to reprice downward. Management expects to see a gradual upward repricing of earnings assets and liabilities as the upward market rate trend begun earlier this year continues. The first earning asset to reflect this trend is the overnight investment in federal funds sold. The Company's net interest income is one of the most important factors in evaluating its financial performance. Management uses interest sensitivity analysis to determine the effect of rate changes. Net interest income is projected over a one-year period to determine the effect of an increase or decrease in the prime rate of 100 basis points. If prime were to decrease one hundred basis points, and all assets and liabilities maturing within that period were fully adjusted for the rate change, the Company would experience a decrease of less than five percent in net interest income. The sensitivity analysis does not consider the likelihood of these rate changes nor whether management's reaction to this rate change would be to reprice its loans or deposits. No provision for loan losses was made in the first three quarters of 2004 or 2003. Net loans charged-off / (recovered) were $2,393 during the first nine months of 2004, versus ($4,385) during the same period in 2003. Non-interest revenue, including service charges on deposit accounts, increased $51,987 from third quarter 2003 to third quarter 2004. For the year to date, non-interest revenue has increased $148,578 from 2003 to 2004. Revenue increases are primarily due to deposit services charges assessed against a larger deposit base and fee increases placed in effect in May 2004. Additionally, the Bank purchased Bank Owned Life Insurance policies at a cost of $4.0 million in August 2003. The year to date tax-exempt increase in cash surrender value of $121,327 on these policies is included in miscellaneous non-interest revenue. Employee benefit costs for nine months ended September 30, 2004 versus the same period in 2003, are $79,883 higher including an $86,962 increase in group insurance costs. Salaries were slightly lower in the third quarter of 2004 versus 2003, and are up only slightly year to date. Throughout the year, the Bank has made an effort to streamline the employee roster, increasing production per employee. Lower salaries in the current quarter result from a decreased number of full time equivalent employees along with reduced overtime stemming from increased efficiency. The Bank, which hires seasonal employees during the summer, employed 90 full time equivalent employees as of September 30, 2004, versus 97 full time equivalent employees at September 30, 2003. The Company has no employees other than those hired by the bank. The Company's occupancy expense increased $44,696 for nine months ended September 30, 2004 from the same period in 2003. Notable factors in this increase are increased depreciation and real estate taxes related to the newly constructed operations wing added to the Berlin, Maryland office in August 2003. Third quarter income taxes are $28,000 less than last year, on a pre-tax income decrease of $9,161. Year-to-date income taxes are $115,000 less than last year, on a pre-tax income decrease of $184,829. Of the $115,000 decrease, approximately $46,850 is due to the tax-exempt income from bank owned life insurance. The balance relates to the overall decrease in earnings. Plans of Operation The Bank offers a full range of deposit services including checking, NOW, Money Market, and savings accounts, and time deposits including certificates of deposit. The transaction accounts and time certificates are tailored to the Bank's principal market areas at rates competitive to those offered in the area. In addition, the Bank offers certain retirement account services, such as Individual Retirements Accounts ("IRAs"). All deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") up to the maximum amount allowed by law (generally, $100,000 per depositor subject to aggregation rules). The Bank solicits these accounts from individuals, businesses, associations and organizations, and governmental authorities. The Company, through the Bank, offers a full range of short- to medium- term commercial and personal loans. Commercial loans include both secured and unsecured loans for working capital (including inventory and receivables), business expansion (including acquisition of real estate and improvements), and purchase of equipment and machinery. Consumer loans include secured and unsecured loans for financing automobiles, home improvements, education, and personal investments. The Company originates commercial and residential mortgage loans and real estate construction and acquisition loans. These lending activities are subject to a variety of lending limits imposed by state and federal law. The Bank may not make any loans to any director or executive officer (except for commercial loans to directors who are not officers or employees) unless the Board of Directors of the Bank approves the loans. The Board of Directors must review any such loan every six months. Other bank services include cash management services, 24-hour ATM's, debit cards, safe deposit boxes, travelers' checks, direct deposit of payroll and social security, and automatic drafts. The Bank offers bank- by-phone and Internet banking services, including electronic bill-payment, to both commercial and retail customers. Capital Resources and Adequacy Total stockholders' equity increased $3,695,119 from December 31, 2003 to September 30, 2004. This increase is attributable to the comprehensive income recorded during the period, as detailed in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, reduced by $590,688 used to purchase and retire 16,408 shares of common stock. Stock repurchases were at a price of $36.00 dollars per share. Under the capital guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC, the Company and Bank are currently required to maintain a minimum risk-based total capital ratio of 8%, with at least 4% being Tier 1 capital. Tier 1 capital consists of stockholders' equity less accumulated other comprehensive income. In addition, the Company and the Bank must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) of at least 3%, but this minimum ratio is increased by 100 to 200 basis points for other than the highest-rated institutions. Tier one risk-based capital ratios of the Company as of September 30, 2004 and 2003 were 41.77% and 36.75%, respectively. Both are substantially in excess of regulatory minimum requirements. Website Access to SEC Reports The Bank maintains an Internet website at www.taylorbank.com. The Company's periodic SEC reports, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K, are accessible through this website. Access to these filings is free of charge. The reports are available as soon as practicable after they are filed electronically with the SEC. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The Company's principal market risk exposure relates to interest rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Unlike most industrial companies, the assets and liabilities of financial institutions such as the Company and the Bank are primarily monetary in nature. Therefore, interest rates have a more significant effect on the Company's performance than do the effects of changes in the general rate of inflation and change in prices. In addition, interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. As discussed previously, management monitors and seeks to manage the relationships between interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against wide interest rate fluctuations, including those resulting from inflation. At September 30, 2004, the Company's interest rate sensitivity, as measured by gap analysis, showed the Company was asset-sensitive with a one-year cumulative gap of 14.34%, as a percentage of interest-earning assets. Generally asset-sensitivity indicates that assets reprice more quickly than liabilities and in a rising rate environment net interest income typically increases. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, net interest income would decline. The Bank has classified its demand mortgage and commercial loans as immediately repriceable. Unlike loans tied to prime, these rates do not necessarily change as prime changes since the decision to call the loans and change the rates rests with management. Item 4. Controls and procedures Within the ninety days prior to the date of this report, the Company's management performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and its internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Disclosure Controls are procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's publicly filed reports is reported in a timely manner. As part of these controls, Management reviews information gathered through systems developed for that purpose to determine the nature of required disclosure. Internal controls are procedures designed to provide management with reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, and that transactions are properly authorized, executed, and recorded to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations in any internal controls, errors or irregularities may occur and not be detected. The projection of an evaluation of controls to future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may become inadequate due to changes in conditions including the degree of compliance with procedures. The Chief Executive Officer and the Treasurer of the Company have concluded, based on the evaluation of disclosure controls and internal controls that the financial information and disclosures included in periodic SEC filings and the Company's financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Changes in Internal Controls There were no significant changes in the company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
