DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
The Company's Proxy Statement for Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on
May 17, 2006, is incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K in Part III, Item
10, Item 11, Item 12, Item 13, and Item 14.
PART I
Item 1. Business
General
Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc. (Company) was incorporated as a Maryland
corporation on October 31, 1995. The Company owns all of the stock of Calvin B.
Taylor Banking Company of Berlin, Maryland (Bank). The Bank is a commercial bank
incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on December 17, 1907, with
a main office located in Berlin, Maryland.
Location and Service Area
Banking Products and Services
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. All deposits are insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (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 Bank also 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 Bank 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 lends to directors and officers of the Company and the
Bank under terms comparable to those offered to other borrowers entering into
similar loan transactions. The Board of Directors approves all loans to officers
and directors and reviews these loans 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 funds, and automatic drafts for various accounts.
The Bank offers bank-by-phone and Internet banking services, including
electronic bill-payment, to both commercial and retail customers. The Bank also
offers non-deposit products including retail repurchase agreements and discount
brokerage services through a correspondent bank.
2
Competition
The Company and the Bank face strong competition in all areas of operations. The
competition comes from entities operating in Worcester County, Maryland and
Sussex County, Delaware and neighboring counties and includes branches of some
of the largest banks in Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia. Its most direct
competition for deposits historically has come from other commercial banks,
savings banks, savings and loan associations, and credit unions operating in its
service areas. The Bank also competes for deposits with money market mutual
funds and corporate and government securities. The Bank competes for loans with
the same banking entities, as well as mortgage banking companies and other
institutional lenders. The competition for loans varies from time to time
depending on certain factors. These factors include, among others, the general
availability of lendable funds and credit, general and local economic
conditions, current interest rate levels, conditions in the mortgage market, and
other factors which are not readily predictable.
The Bank employs traditional marketing media including local
newspapers and radio, to attract new customers. Bank officers, directors, and
employees are active in numerous community organizations and participate in
community-based events. These activities and referrals by satisfied customers
result in new business.
Employees
As of December 31, 2006, the Bank employed 98 full-time
equivalent employees. The Company's operations are conducted through the Bank.
Consequently, the Company does not have separate employees. None of the
employees of the Bank are represented by any collective bargaining unit. The
Bank considers its relations with its employees to be good.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
The Company and the Bank are subject to
state and federal banking laws and regulations which impose specific
requirements or restrictions on, and provide for general regulatory oversight
with respect to, virtually all aspects of operations. These laws and regulations
are generally intended to protect depositors, not stockholders. The following is
a summary of certain statutes, rules, and regulations affecting the Company and
the Bank. To the extent that the following summary describes statutory or
regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
particular statutory and regulatory provisions.
Proposed legislative changes and the policies of various
regulatory authorities may affect the operations of the Company and the Bank and
those effects may be material. The Company is unable to predict the nature or
the extent of the effect on its business and earnings that fiscal or monetary
policies, economic controls, or new federal or state legislation may have in the
future.
The Company
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956
The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning
of the federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 ( BHCA). Under the BHCA, the
Company is subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve and is
required to file periodic reports of its operations and such additional
information as the Federal Reserve may require. The Company's and the Bank’s
activities are limited to banking, managing or controlling banks, furnishing
services to or performing services for its Subsidiary, or engaging in any other
activity that the Federal Reserve determines to be so closely related to banking
or managing and controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.
Investments, Control, and Activities. With certain
limited exceptions, the BHCA requires a bank holding company to obtain the prior
approval of the Federal Reserve before (i) acquiring substantially all the
assets of any bank, (ii) acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of
any voting shares of any bank if after such acquisition it would own or control
more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank (unless it already owns or
controls the majority of such shares), or (iii) merging or consolidating with
another bank holding company.
In addition, and subject to certain exceptions, the BHCA and
the Change in Bank Control Act, together with regulations thereunder, require
Federal Reserve approval (or, depending on the circumstances, no notice of
disapproval) prior to any person or company acquiring "control" of a bank
holding company, such as the Company. Control is conclusively presumed to exist
if an individual or company acquires 25% or more of any class of voting
securities of the bank holding company. Because the Company's Common Stock is
registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, under Federal Reserve
regulations, control will be rebuttably presumed to exist if a person acquires
at least 10% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of the
Company. The regulations provide a procedure for challenge of the rebuttable
control presumption.
3
Under the BHCA, the Company is generally prohibited from engaging in, or acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company engaged in non-banking activities, unless the Federal Reserve, by order or regulation, has found those activities to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
In November 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was signed
into law. Among other things, the Act repeals the restriction, contained in the
Glass-Steagall Act, on banks affiliating with securities firms. The Act permits
bank holding companies to engage in a statutorily provided list of financial
activities, including insurance and securities underwriting and agency
activities, merchant banking, and insurance company portfolio investment
activities. The Act also authorizes activities that are "complementary" to
financial activities. The Act is intended to grant certain powers to community
banks that larger institutions have accumulated on an ad hoc basis. The Act may
have the result of increasing competition that the Company and the Bank face
from larger institutions and other types of companies. It is not possible to
predict the full effect that the Act will have on the Company and the Bank.
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
The Company’s common stock is registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (the Act). The Company is, therefore, subject to periodic and ad hoc
information reporting, proxy solicitation rules, restrictions on insider
trading, and other requirements of the Act.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) of 2002 imposed additional
disclosure requirements in the Company’s reports filed with SEC. SOX defines new
standards of independence for insiders, provides guidance for certain Board
committees including the composition of those committees, and establishes
corporate governance requirements.
The Bank
General. The Bank operates as a state nonmember
banking association incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland. It is
subject to examination by the FDIC and the state department of banking
regulation for each state in which it has a branch. The States and FDIC regulate
or monitor all areas of the Bank’s operations, including security devices and
procedures, adequacy of capitalization and loss reserves, loans, investments,
borrowings, deposits, mergers, issuances of securities, payment of dividends,
interest rates payable on deposits, interest rates or fees chargeable on loans,
establishment of branches, corporate reorganizations, maintenance of books and
records, and adequacy of staff training to carry on safe lending and deposit
gathering practices. The FDIC requires the Bank to maintain certain capital
ratios and imposes limitations on the Bank’s aggregate investment in real
estate, bank premises, and furniture and fixtures. The Bank is required by the
FDIC to prepare quarterly reports on the Bank’s financial condition.
Under provisions of the FDICIA, all insured institutions must
undergo periodic on-site examination by the appropriate banking agency. The cost
of examinations of insured depository institutions and any affiliates may be
assessed by the agency against each institution or affiliate, as it deems
necessary or appropriate. Insured institutions are required to submit annual
reports to the FDIC and the appropriate agency (and state supervisor when
applicable). FDICIA also directs the FDIC to develop with other appropriate
agencies a method for insured depository institutions to provide supplemental
disclosure of the estimated fair market value of assets and liabilities, to the
extent feasible and practicable, in any balance sheet, financial statement,
report of condition, or other report of any insured depository institution.
FDICIA also requires the federal banking regulatory agencies to prescribe, by
regulation, standards for all insured depository institutions and depository
institution holding companies relating, among other things, to: (i) internal
controls, information systems, and audit systems; (ii) loan documentation; (iii)
credit underwriting; (iv) interest rate risk exposure; and (v) asset quality.
4
Transactions With Affiliates and Insiders
The Bank is subject to Section 23A of the Federal Reserve
Act, which places limits on the amount of loans or extensions of credit to, or
investment in, or certain other transactions with, affiliates and on the amount
of advances to third parties collateralized by the securities or obligations of
affiliates. The aggregate of all covered transactions is limited in amount, as
to any one affiliate, to 10% of the Bank’s capital and surplus and, as to all
affiliates combined, to 20% of the Bank’s capital and surplus. In addition, each
covered transaction must meet specific collateral requirements. The Bank is also
subject to Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act which, among other things,
prohibits an institution from engaging in certain transactions with certain
affiliates unless the transactions are on terms substantially the same, or at
least as favorable to such institution or its subsidiaries, as those prevailing
at the time for comparable transactions with nonaffiliated companies. The Bank
is subject to certain restrictions on extensions of credit to executive
officers, directors, certain principal stockholders, and their related
interests. Such extensions of credit (i) must be made on substantially the same
terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time
for comparable transactions with third parties, and (ii) must not involve more
than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features.
Community Reinvestment Act
The Community Reinvestment Act requires that the Bank shall
be evaluated by its primary federal regulator with respect to its record in
meeting the credit needs of its local community, including low and moderate
income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound operations. These factors
are also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions, and applications to
open a branch or facility. The Bank received a satisfactory rating in its most
recent evaluation.
USA Patriot Act
In response to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001,
Congress passed the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act requires that Banks prepare and
retain additional records designed to assist the government in an effort to
combat terrorism. The Act includes anti-money laundering and financial
transparency provisions, and guidelines for verifying customer identification
during account opening. The Act promotes cooperation between law enforcement,
financial institutions, and financial regulators in identifying persons involved
in illegal acts such as money laundering and terrorism.
Other Regulations
Interest and certain other charges collected or contracted
for by the Bank are subject to state and federal laws concerning interest rates.
The Bank’s loan operations are also subject to certain federal laws applicable
to credit transactions, such as the federal Truth-In-Lending Act governing
disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers, the Home Mortgage Disclosure
Act of 1975 requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable
the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is
fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it
serves, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibiting discrimination on the basis
of race, creed, or other prohibited bases in extending credit, the Fair Credit
Reporting Act of 1978 governing the use and provision of information to credit
reporting agencies, the Fair Debt Collection Act governing the manner in which
consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies, and the rules and
regulations of the various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of
implementing such federal laws. The deposit operations of the Bank are also
subject to the Right to Financial Privacy Act which imposes a duty to maintain
confidentiality of customers’ financial records and prescribes procedures for
complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records, and the Electronic
Fund Transfers Act as implemented by the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation E
which governs automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and
customers' rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller
machines and other electronic banking services.

Dividends
The principal source of the Company's cash revenues comes
from dividends received from the Bank. The amount of dividends that may be paid
by the Bank to the Company depends on the Bank's earnings and capital position
and is limited by federal and state laws, regulations, and policies. The Federal
Reserve has stated that bank holding companies should refrain from or limit
dividend increases or reduce or eliminate dividends under circumstances in which
the bank holding company fails to meet minimum capital requirements or in which
earnings are impaired.
The Company's ability to pay any cash dividends to its
stockholders in the future will depend primarily on the Bank's ability to pay
dividends to the Company. In order to pay dividends to the Company, the Bank
must comply with the requirements of all applicable laws and regulations. Under
Maryland law, the Bank must pay a cash dividend only from the following, after
providing for due or accrued expenses, losses, interest, and taxes: (i) its
undivided profits, or (ii) with the prior approval of the Department of
Financial Regulation, its surplus in excess of 100% of its required capital
stock. Under FDICIA, the Bank may not pay a dividend if, after paying the
dividend, the Bank would be undercapitalized. See "Capital Regulations" below.
See Item 5 for a discussion of dividends paid by the Company in the past three
years.
In addition to the availability of funds from the Bank, the
future dividend policy of the Company is subject to the discretion of the Board
of Directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including future
earnings, financial condition, cash needs, and general business conditions. The
amount of dividends that might be declared in the future presently cannot be
estimated and it cannot be known whether such dividends would continue for
future periods.
Capital Regulations
The federal bank regulatory authorities have adopted
risk-based capital guidelines for banks and bank holding companies that are
designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences
in risk profile among banks and bank holding companies, account for off-balance
sheet exposure, and minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. The
resulting capital ratios represent qualifying capital as a percentage of total
risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items. The guidelines are minimums,
and the regulators have noted that banks and bank holding companies
contemplating significant expansion programs should not allow expansion to
diminish their capital ratios and should maintain ratios well in excess of the
minimums.
Current guidelines require bank holding
companies and federally regulated banks to maintain a minimum ratio of total
capital to risk-based assets equal to 8%, of which at least 4% must be Tier 1
capital. Tier 1 capital includes common stockholders' equity before the
unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, qualifying
perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests in equity accounts of
consolidated subsidiaries, but excludes goodwill and most other intangibles, and
excludes the allowance for loan losses. Tier 2 capital includes the excess of
any preferred stock not included in Tier 1 capital, mandatory convertible
securities, hybrid capital instruments, subordinated debt and intermediate
term-preferred stock, and general reserves for loan losses up to 1.25% of
risk-weighted assets. Total capital is the sum of Tier 1 plus Tier 2 capital.
The federal bank regulatory authorities have also implemented a leverage ratio,
which is Tier 1 capital as a percentage of average total assets less
intangibles, to be used as a supplement to the risk-based guidelines. The
principal objective of the leverage ratio is to place a constraint on the
maximum degree to which a bank holding company may leverage its equity capital
base. The minimum required leverage ratio for top-rated institutions is 3%, but
most institutions are required to maintain an additional cushion of at least 100
to 200 basis points.
FDICIA established a new capital-based regulatory scheme
designed to promote early intervention for troubled banks and requires the FDIC
to choose the least expensive resolution of bank failures. The new capital-based
regulatory framework contains five categories for compliance with regulatory
capital requirements, including "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized,"
"undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized," and "critically
undercapitalized." To qualify as a "well capitalized" institution, a bank must
have a leverage ratio of no less than 5%, a Tier 1 risk-based ratio of no less
than 6%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of no less than 10%, and the bank
must not be under any order or directive from the appropriate regulatory agency
to meet and maintain a specific capital level. As of December 31, 2006, the
Company and the Bank were qualified as "well capitalized." For further
discussions, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation - Capital."
Recent Legislative Developments
Periodically, the federal and state legislatures consider
bills with respect to the regulation of financial institutions. Some of these
proposals could significantly change the regulation of banks and the financial
services industry. The Company cannot predict if such proposals will be adopted
or the affect to the Company.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The Company's Articles of Incorporation,
as amended, authorize it to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock.
As of February
28, 2007 there were approximately 1,027 stockholders of record and 3,145,489
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.
There is no established public trading market in the stock, and there is no
likelihood that a trading market will develop in the near future. Transactions
in the common stock are infrequent and are frequently negotiated privately
between the persons involved in those transactions.
All outstanding shares of common stock of the Company are
entitled to share equally in dividends from funds legally available, when, as,
and if declared by the Board of Directors. The Company paid or declared
dividends of $.75 per share in 2006, $2.10 per share in 2005, and $.65 per share
in 2004. Included is a special cash dividend of $1.40 per share in 2005, which
is not expected to be an annual event.

existed simultaneously, nor had any other plan or program expired during the
period covered by this table. Common shares repurchased under this plan were
retired.
As of January 1, 2005, this plan was renewed, by public announcement, making
up to 10% of the Company’s outstanding equity stock at that time, which equates
to a total of 320,848 common shares, available for repurchase. This renewal
continues into 2007. Common shares repurchased under this plan are retired.

Composition of Loan Portfolio
Because loans are expected to produce higher yields than
investment securities and other interest-earning assets (assuming that loan
losses are not excessive), the absolute volume of loans and the volume as a
percentage of total earning assets is an important determinant of net interest
margin. Average loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, were $224,693,000,
$184,439,000, and $161,481,000 during 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively, which
constituted 65.40%, 50.60%, and 44.66% of average interest-earning assets for
the periods. The Company’s loan to deposit ratio was 79.65%, 65.77%, and 50.51%
at December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Average loans to average
deposits were 75.04%, 57.24%, and 49.90% for 2006, 2005, and 2004. The increase
in the loan to deposit ratio from 2005 to 2006 is attributable to 21.83% growth
in the average loan portfolio accompanied by a 7.08% reduction in average
deposits during 2006. Throughout 2005 and 2006, the Bank continued to enjoy
increased loan opportunity due to steady demand and competitive pricing.
The Company extends loans primarily to customers located in
and near Worcester County, Maryland and Sussex County, Delaware. There are no
industry concentrations in the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company does,
however, have a substantial portion of its loans in real estate and performance
will be influenced by the real estate market in the region.

The Company has the following commitments, lines of credit, and letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.
2006 | 2005 | 2004 | |

Loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition to the contract. Loan commitments may have interest fixed at current rates, fixed expiration dates, and may require the payment of a fee. Letters of credit are commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Loan commitments and letters of credit are made on the same terms, including collateral, as outstanding loans. The Company's exposure to loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower is represented by the contract amount of the commitment.

Loan Quality
The allowance for loan losses represents an allowance for
potential losses in the loan portfolio. The adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses is evaluated periodically based on a review of all significant loans,
with a particular emphasis on non-accruing, past due, and other loans that
management believes require attention. The determination of the allowance rests
upon management's judgment about factors affecting loan quality and assumptions
about the economy. Management considers the year-end allowance appropriate and
adequate to cover possible losses in the loan portfolio; however, management's
judgment is based upon a number of assumptions about future events, which are
believed to be reasonable, but which may or may not prove valid. Thus, there can
be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance
for loan loss or that additional increases in the loan loss allowance will not
be required.
It is the Company’s policy to evaluate loan portfolio risk
for the purpose of establishing an adequate allowance. The allowance may include
reserves for specific loans identified as substandard during management's loan
review. For significant problem loans, management's review consists of
evaluation of the financial strengths of the borrowers and guarantors, the
related collateral, and the effects of economic conditions. The overall
evaluation of the adequacy of the total allowance for loan losses is based on an
analysis of historical loan losses ratios, loan charge-offs, delinquency trends,
and previous collection experience, along with an assessment of the effects of
external economic conditions. The recent slow-down in the real-estate market has
affected both the price and time to market residential and commercial
properties. Management closely monitors such trends and the potential effect on
the Company.
The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings in the
current period to replenish the allowance and maintain it at a level management
has determined to be adequate. No provision for loan losses was made in 2006,
2005, or 2004 due to low levels of delinquencies. Generally, the Company will
not require a negative provision to reduce the allowance as a result of either
net recoveries, or a decrease in loans.
Substantially all of the balance of the allowance as of
December 31 2006, 2005, and 2004, is "general" in nature, that is, it cannot be
specifically allocated among the major categories of loans in any meaningful
manner. Management believes that this is consistent with the Company’s history
of conservative underwriting, high asset quality, low levels of delinquency, and
minimal loan losses. As of December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was
..93% of outstanding loans, down from 1.06% at December 31, 2005, and 1.33% at
December 31, 2004.

As a result of management's ongoing review
of the loan portfolio, loans are classified as nonaccrual when it is not
reasonable to expect collection of interest under the original terms. These
loans are classified as nonaccrual even though the presence of collateral or the
borrower's financial strength may be sufficient to provide for ultimate
repayment. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are recognized as a
reduction of principal. A delinquent loan is generally placed in nonaccrual
status when it becomes 90 days or more past due. When a loan is placed in
nonaccrual status, all interest that has been accrued on the loan but remains
unpaid is reversed and deducted from earnings as a reduction of reported
interest income. No additional interest is accrued on the loan balance until the
collection of both principal and interest becomes reasonably certain.
Nonperforming loans are loans past due 90 or more days and
still accruing plus nonaccrual loans. When real estate acquired in foreclosure
and held for sale is included with nonperforming loans, the result comprises
nonperforming assets. There were no nonperforming assets other than
nonperforming loans as of December 31, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, or 2002, as shown
in the following table.

Total nonperforming loans | $ 239,620 | $ 131,717 | $ 391,676 | $ 315,395 | $ 285,078 |
Loans are classified as impaired when the collection of contractual obligations, including principal and interest, is doubtful. Management has identified no significant impaired loans as of December 31, 2006, 2005, or 2004.
Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
The primary objective of asset/liability management is to
ensure the steady growth of the Company's primary source of earnings, net
interest income. Net interest income can fluctuate with significant interest
rate movements. To lessen the impact of these margin swings, the balance sheet
should be structured so that repricing opportunities exist for both assets and
liabilities in roughly equivalent amounts at approximately the same time
intervals. Imbalances in these repricing opportunities at any point in time
constitute interest rate sensitivity.
Liquidity represents the ability to provide steady sources of
funds for loan commitments and investment activities, as well as to provide
sufficient funds to cover deposit withdrawals and payment of debt and operating
obligations. These funds can be obtained by converting assets to cash or by
attracting new deposits. Average liquid assets (cash and amounts due from banks,
interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold, and investment
securities) were 45.61% of average deposits for 2006, compared to 62.06% and
67.94% for 2005 and 2004, respectively.

As of December 31, 2006, $48,945,961, or 68.93% of the investment debt securities mature in one year or less, of which, $11,919,970 are classified as "available-for-sale." Federal funds sold provide additional liquidity. Other sources of liquidity include letters of credit, overnight federal funds, and reverse repurchase agreements available from correspondent banks. The total lines and letters of credit available from correspondent banks were $21,000,000 as of December 31, 2006, and $19,000,000 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004.Investment Securities Maturity Distribution and Yields | ||||||

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the
responsiveness of interest-bearing assets and liabilities to changes in market
interest rates. The rate-sensitive position, or gap, is the difference in the
volume of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities at a given time interval. The
general objective of gap management is to actively manage rate-sensitive assets
and liabilities to reduce the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the net
interest margin. Management generally attempts to maintain a balance between
rate-sensitive assets and liabilities as the exposure period is lengthened to
minimize the overall interest rate risk to the Company.
Interest rate sensitivity may be controlled on either side of
the balance sheet. On the asset side, management exercises some control over
maturities. Also, loans are written to provide repricing opportunities on fixed
rate notes. The Company's investment portfolio, including federal funds sold,
provides the most flexible and fastest control over rate sensitivity since it
can generally be restructured more quickly than the loan portfolio.
On the liability side, deposit products are structured to
offer incentives to attain the maturity distribution desired. Competitive
factors sometimes make control over deposits more difficult and, therefore, less
effective as an interest rate sensitivity management tool.
The asset mix of the balance sheet is continually evaluated
in terms of several variables: yield, credit quality, appropriate funding
sources, and liquidity. Management of the liability mix of the balance sheet
focuses on expanding the various funding sources.
17
As of December 31, 2006, the Company was cumulatively asset-sensitive for all time horizons. For asset-sensitive institutions, if interest rates should decrease, the net interest margins should decline. Since all interest rates and yields do not adjust at the same velocity, the gap is only a general indicator of rate sensitivity.

or 9.09%, to $221,056,000 in 2006, from $243,163,000 in 2005. Average
interest-bearing deposits decreased $21,654,000, or 9.15%, to $215,033,000 in
2006 from $236,687,000 in 2005, while average noninterest-bearing demand
deposits decreased $1,146,000, or 1.34% to $84,380,000 in 2006 from $85,526,000
in 2005. At December 31, 2006, total deposits were $290,324,760, compared to
$310,857,607 at December 31, 2005, a decrease of 6.60%.
Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $2,116,000, or
..86%, from $245,279,000 in 2004, to $243,163,000 in 2005. Average
interest-bearing deposits decreased $3,400,000, or 1.42%, from $240,087,000 in
2004 to $236,687,000 in 2005, while average noninterest-bearing demand deposits
increased $2,028,000, or 2.43% from $83,498,000 in 2004 to $85,526,000 in 2005.
At December 31, 2005, total deposits were $310,857,607, compared to $319,772,358
at December 31, 2004, a decrease of 2.79%.
Management believes that decreasing deposit volume through
2005 and 2006 is indicative of a return by investors to non-deposit investment
products and strong competition for deposits in the local market. Management
monitors deposit decreases closely and implements counter-measures as needed,
including but not limited to rate increases on existing products and the
development of new products.

Core deposits, which exclude certificates
of deposit of $100,000 or more, provide a relatively stable funding source for
the Company's loan portfolio and other earning assets. The Company's core
deposits decreased $30,616,403 during 2006 and $8,168,720 during 2005.
Management attributes this decrease to more aggressive competition for time
deposits in the rising rate environment of 2006 and 2005. Rate increases
implemented to retain deposits have caused a shift of funds from core deposits
into time deposits of $100,000 or more. During this period, as in the previous
year, management believes there has been a reversal of some of the 2001 through
2004 migration of funds from the stock market into insured deposits.
Deposits, and particularly core deposits, have been the
Company's primary source of funding and have enabled the Company to meet both
its short-term and long-term liquidity needs. Management anticipates that while
such deposits will continue to be the Company's primary source of funding in the
future, continued reductions in deposit levels, if coupled with growth in the
Company’s loan portfolio, could require periodic borrowing of funds. In this
event, it is likely that Management would liquidate investment securities from
the available for sale portfolio or purchase overnight federal funds as needed.
The maturity distribution of the Company's time deposits of
$100,000 or more at December 31, 2006, is shown in the following table.

Large certificate of deposit customers tend to be extremely sensitive to interest rate levels, making these deposits less reliable sources of funding for liquidity planning purposes than core deposits. Some financial institutions partially fund their balance sheets using large certificates of deposit obtained through brokers. These brokered deposits are generally expensive and are unreliable as long-term funding sources. Accordingly, the Company does not accept brokered deposits.

employee retirement plan. Occupancy expense increased $69,284 which includes a
$29,430, or 24.93%, increase in utility costs. Furniture and equipment expense
are down $12,404, which is attributable to lower depreciation expense. Other
operating expense decreased $21,527, as the net result of several increases and
decreases. Increased directors’ fees resulted from a fee increase, an additional
Board seat, and one additional meeting in 2006 as compared to 2005. Postage
costs are down by $30,200 due to the timing of as-needed meter replenishment,
and the Company’s efforts to reduce unnecessary mailings. Professional fees in
2005 included non-recurring consulting fees of $19,052.
Noninterest expense increased $351,211, or 5.16%, from 2004
to 2005. Increased personnel costs of $194,255 include a $37,487 increase in
expense related to the Bank’s employee retirement plan and the accrual of a
10-year commitment, valued at $107,409, to provide long-term care insurance to
the Chairman of the Board. Occupancy expense increased $46,860 due to routine
increases in costs of utilities, real property taxes, and insurance, in addition
to several significant repairs. Furniture and equipment expense are down
$60,766, of which $26,769 is reduced depreciation expense, and $21,944 is lower
cost of service contracts and repairs. Other operating expense increased
$170,862, including a $29,452 increase in telephone and network

FASB Statement No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 will be applied
prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not
expect SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
FASB Statement No. 158, "Employers’ Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)"requires companies to recognize a net liability or
asset to report the funded status of their defined benefit pension and other
postretirement benefit plans on their balance sheets. The effective date
of the recognition and disclosure provisions for calendar-year public companies
is for calendar years ending after December 15, 2006. Management does not
expect SFAS No. 158 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements since the Company does not currently have any defined
benefit plans.
FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s
financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for
Income Taxes.” This Interpretation prescribes a recognition and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management does not expect FIN
No. 48 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
The accounting policies adopted by management are consistent
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
and are consistent with those followed by peer Banks.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed and
maintained by the Company to ensure that information required to be disclosed in
the Company’s publicly filed reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported in a timely manner. Such information must be available to management,
including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Treasurer, to allow them to make
timely decisions about required disclosures. Even a well-designed and maintained
control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its
objectives are achieved. Inherent limitations in any system of controls include
flawed judgment, errors, omissions, or intentional circumvention of controls.
The Company’s management, including the CEO and Treasurer,
performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2006. Based on
that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO and Treasurer, has
concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
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.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc.
Berlin, Maryland
We have audited
management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management Report on
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares,
Inc. and Subsidiary maintained effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal
Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting
and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s
assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in the
United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit
included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management’s
assessment that Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is
fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in
Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our
opinion, Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary maintained, in all
material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control –
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO).
We have audited, in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in the United
States of America,
the balance sheets and the
related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Calvin
B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary, and our report dated February 2,
2007, expressed an unqualified opinion.
