Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Interim
financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes
required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position and results of operations for these interim periods have been made.
These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected in any other interim period or for the year
ending December 31, 2010. For further information, refer to the audited
consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the
Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
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:
2010 | 2009 | ||
Three months ended March 31 | 3,000,508 | 3,039,978 |
2. Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of:

3. Investment Securities (Continued)
The table below shows the gross unrealized losses and
fair value of securities that are in an unrealized loss position as of March
31, 2010, aggregated by length of time that individual securities have been
in a continuous unrealized loss position.
Less than 12 months | 12 months or more | Total | |||||
Fair | Unrealized | Fair | Unrealized | Fair | Unrealized | ||
value | losses | value | losses | value | losses | ||
U. S. Treasury | $ 3,976,250 | $ 18,692 | $ - | $ - | $ 3,976,250 | $ 18,692 | |

$ 8,185,622 | $ 100,916 | $ - | $ - | $ 8,185,622 | $ 100,916 |
The debt securities for which an unrealized loss is
recorded are issues of the U. S. Treasury, the Federal Home Loan Bank (a U.
S. government agency), and general and highly rated revenue obligations of
states and municipalities. The Company has the ability and the intent to
hold these securities until they are called or mature at face value. Equity
securities for which an unrealized loss is recorded are issued by local
community bank holding companies. Management believes that these
fluctuations in fair value reflect market conditions, and are not indicative
of other-than-temporary impairment of the investments.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt
securities, by contractual maturity, and the amount of pledged securities
follow. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because
issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without
call or prepayment penalties.

4. Loan commitments
Loan commitments are agreements to lend to customers as
long as there is no violation of any conditions of the contracts.
Outstanding loan commitments and letters of credit consist of:

5. Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company values investment securities classified as
available for sale on a recurring basis and other real estate acquired
through foreclosure at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair value
hierarchy established in the Financial Accounting Standards Board
Codification Topic 820 titled Fair Value Measurements defines three
input levels for fair value measurement. Level 1 is based on quoted market
prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 is based on
significant observable inputs other than those in Level 1. Level 3 is based
on significant unobservable inputs. The Company values US Treasury
securities, government agency securities, and an equity investment in an
actively traded public utility under Level 1. Municipal debt securities,
equity investments in community banks, and other real estate acquired
through foreclosure are valued under Level 2. The Company has no assets
measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis that are valued
under Level 3 criteria. At March 31, 2010, values for available for sale
investment securities and other real estate owned were established as
follows:
Total | Level 1 Inputs | Level 2 Inputs | ||
Investment securities available for sale (recurring) | $ 29,771,513 | $ 26,437,288 | $ 3,334,225 | |
Other real estate owned (non-recurring) | 1,378,500 | - | 1,378,500 | |
$ 31,150,013 | $ 26,437,288 | $ 4,712,725 |
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis, and the valuation methods used in estimating the fair value of financial instruments is disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. It is not practicable to report quarterly the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis.

New accounting standards
The following accounting pronouncements have been approved by the Financial Accounting Standards Board but had not become effective as of March 31, 2010. These pronouncements would apply to the Company if the Company or the Bank entered into an applicable activity.
ASU No. 2010-06, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements." ASU 2010-06 requires expanded disclosures related to fair value measurements including (i) the amounts of significant transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for the transfers, (ii) the reasons for transfers of assets or liabilities in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, with significant transfers disclosed separately, (iii) the policy for determining when transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized and (iv) for recurring fair value measurements of assets and liabilities in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, a gross presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements. ASU 2010-06 further clarifies that (i) fair value measurement disclosures should be provided for each class of assets and liabilities (rather than major category), which would generally be a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position and (ii) company’s should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for each class of assets and liabilities included in Levels 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Disclosures related to the gross presentation of Level 3 purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of assets and liabilities will be required for the Corporation beginning January 1, 2011.
ASU No. 2010-11, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives." ASU 2010-11 clarifies that the only form of an embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements are those that relate to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. Entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. The provisions of ASU 2010-11 will be effective for the Company on July 1, 2010 and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s 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.

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
This Report contains statements which constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements appear in a number of places in this Report and include all statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, its directors, or its officers with respect to, among other things: (i) the Company's financing plans; (ii) trends affecting the Company's financial condition or results of operations; (iii) the Company's growth strategy and operating strategy; and (iv) the declaration and payment of dividends. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors discussed herein and those factors discussed in detail in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of 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. (Company) was incorporated
as a Maryland corporation on October 31, 1995. The Company owns all of the stock
of Calvin B. Taylor Banking Company (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 banking offices in Worcester County,
Maryland and one banking office 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. The Bank employed 92 full time equivalent
employees as of March 31, 2010. The Bank hires seasonal employees during the
summer. The Company has no employees other than those hired by the Bank.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions may affect
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.
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.
The allowance for loan losses (ALLL) represents management’s
best estimate of inherent probable losses in the loan portfolio as of the
balance sheet date. It is one of the most difficult and subjective judgments.
The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is evaluated no less than
quarterly. The determination of the balance of the allowance for loan losses is
based on management’s judgments about the credit quality of the loan portfolio
as of the review date. It should be sufficient to absorb losses in the loan
portfolio as determined by management’s consideration of factors including an
analysis of historical losses, specific reserves for non-performing or past due
loans, delinquency trends, portfolio composition (including segment growth or
shifting of balances between segments, products and processes, and
concentrations of credit, both regional and by relationship), lending staff
experience and changes, critical documentation and policy exceptions, risk
rating analysis, interest rates and the competitive environment, economic
conditions in the Bank’s service area, and results of independent reviews,
including audits and regulatory examinations.

Financial Condition
Total assets of the Company decreased $3.3 million (.084%)
from December 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010. Combined deposits and customer
repurchase agreements decreased $4.4 million during the same period. Average
total assets and average total deposits increased $17.1 million and $15.4
million, respectively, from first quarter 2009 to first quarter 2010. Throughout
2009, deposits and total assets grew as a result of market instability that was
part of a continuing general economic recession. At such times, many consumers
seek the safety of conservatively run community banks. The first quarter of 2010
conforms more to the historical pattern in which the Bank sees a decrease in
deposits during the first quarter of the year as business customers in the
resort area purchase inventory for the upcoming summer season. For further
discussion of seasonal activity that affects deposit levels, see the section
titled Liquidity.
Loan Portfolio
From December 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010 the gross loan
portfolio has grown $7.3 million (3.03%). Growth in the loan portfolio has been
funded by reductions in the investment portfolio. Because loans earn at higher
average rates than investments, this shift has a positive effect on earnings.
There is no adverse impact on the Company’s ability to meet liquidity demands
resulting from recent increases in the loan portfolio.
The Company makes loans to customers located primarily in the
Delmarva region. Although the loan portfolio is diversified, its performance
will be influenced by the economy of the region.
Loan Quality and the Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses (ALLL) represents an amount
which management believes to be adequate to absorb identified and inherent
losses in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. Valuation of the
allowance is completed no less than quarterly. The determination of the
allowance is inherently subjective as it relies on estimates of potential loss
related to specific loans, the effects of portfolio trends, and other internal
and external factors.
The ALLL consists of (i) formula-based reserves comprised of
potential losses in the balance of the loan portfolio segmented into homogeneous
pools, (ii) specific reserves comprised of potential losses on loans that
management has identified as impaired and (iii) unallocated reserves.
Unallocated reserves are not associated with a specific portfolio segment or a
specific loan, but may be appropriate if properly supported and in accordance
with GAAP.
The Company evaluates loan portfolio risk for the purpose of
establishing an adequate allowance for loan losses. In determining an adequate
level for the formula-based portion of the ALLL, management considers historical
loss experience for major types of loans. Homogenous categories of loans are
evaluated based on loss experience in the most recent five years. Based on this
evaluation, management applies a formula to the current portfolio which gives
weight to portfolio size and loss experience for categories of real estate
construction loans, other real estate secured loans, other loans to commercial
borrowers, and other consumer loans. However, historical data may not be an
accurate predictor of loss potential in the current loan portfolio.
Management also evaluates trends in delinquencies, the
composition of the portfolio, concentrations of credit, and changes in lending
products, processes, or staffing. Management further considers external factors
such as the interest rate environment, competition, current local and national
economic trends, and the results of recent independent reviews by auditors and
banking regulators. The protracted 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 impact of the current adverse economic conditions is reflected
in historically high loan losses and provisions for loan losses in 2008, 2009,
and the current year.
- 13 -
Management employs a risk rating system which gives weight to collateral status (secured vs. unsecured), and to the absence or improper execution of critical contract or collateral documents. Unsecured loans and those loans with critical documentation exceptions, as defined by management, are considered to have greater loss exposure. Management incorporates these factors in the formula-based portion of the ALLL. Additionally, consideration is given to those segments of the loan portfolio which management deems to pose the greatest likelihood of loss.
Management believes that in a general economic downturn, such as the region has experienced since mid-2008, the Bank’s greatest likelihood of loss is in unsecured loans - commercial and consumer, and in secured consumer loans. Reserves for these segments of the portfolio are included in the formula-based portion of the ALLL. As of March 31, 2010, management reserved 110 bp against unsecured loans, and consumer loans secured by other than real estate. Both of these reserves were increased during the first quarter of this year in recognition of the prolonged economic challenges to regional, national, and global economies. Additionally, management reserved 10% against overdrawn checking accounts which are a distinct high risk category of unsecured loan.
Borrowers whose cash flow is impaired as a result of prevailing economic conditions have also experienced depressed real estate values. Management recognizes that the combination of these circumstances – reduced revenue and depressed collateral values, may increase the likelihood of loss in the Bank’s real estate secured loan portfolio. Management closely monitors conditions that might indicate deterioration of collateral value on significant loans and, when possible, obtains additional collateral as required to limit the Bank’s loss exposure. The Bank foreclosed on commercial and consumer mortgage loans during 2009 and expects more foreclosures in 2010. Foreclosures may result in loan losses, costs to hold real estate acquired in foreclosure, and losses on the sale of real estate acquired in foreclosure. While management is unable to predict the financial consequences of future foreclosure activity, provision for loss on likely loan foreclosures is included in specific reserves in the ALLL.
Historically, the absence or improper execution of a document has not resulted in a loss to the Bank, however, management recognizes that the Bank’s loss exposure is increased until a critical contract or collateral documentation exception is cured. At March 31, 2010, management reserved 10 bp against the outstanding balances of loans identified as having critical documentation exceptions.
The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings in the current period to maintain the allowance at a level management has determined to be appropriate. The allowance is increased by current period provisions and by recoveries of amounts previously charged-off. The allowance is decreased when loans are charged-off as losses, which occurs when they are deemed to be uncollectible. Adjustments made to bring the balance in the allowance to the level established by management may result in an increase or decrease to expense. A provision of $421,000 was made in the first quarter of 2010. A provision of $333,100 was made in the comparable period in 2009. The year-to-year increase in the level of the ALLL and the provision for loan loss reflects the consequences of the current economy. As the recession continues and borrowers’ suffer personal and professional financial hardship, the likelihood of loss on previously performing loans has increased. As Management identifies loans with heightened loss potential, a provision for those losses is recorded.
Management considers the March 31, 2010 allowance appropriate and adequate to absorb identified and inherent losses in the loan portfolio. As of March 31, 2010, management has not identified any loans which are anticipated to be wholly charged-off within the next 12 months. However, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additional increases in the loan loss allowance will not be required.
- 14 -
The following is a schedule of transactions in the allowance for loan losses. The Bank experienced net charge-offs of $73,499 in the first quarter of 2009 and $370,411 in the current year to date. A loss of $347,214 was attributable to a single unsecured commercial line of credit. Management attributes the increased loan losses to the effects of the current economic recession on some of the Bank’s customers and, subsequently, on the Bank.

The accrual of interest on a loan is discontinued when principal or interest is ninety days past due or when the loan is determined to be impaired, unless collateral is sufficient to discharge the debt in full and the loan is in process of collection. When a loan is placed in nonaccruing status, any interest previously accrued but unpaid, is reversed from interest income. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans may be recorded as cash basis income, or as a reduction of principal, depending on management’s judgment on a loan by loan basis. Accrual of interest may be restored when all principal and interest are current and management believes that future payments will be received in accordance with the loan agreement.
- 15 -
Nonperforming loans are loans past due 90 or more days and still accruing plus nonaccrual loans. Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonperforming loans combined with real estate acquired in foreclosure and held for sale. The following table details the composition of nonperforming assets:

Included in amounts past due 90 days or more and still accruing at March 31, 2009 was a loan with a principal balance of $4,500,000. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, this loan was 51 and 53 days past due, respectively. It continues to accrue as the Bank continues collection efforts. Late in 2008, the Bank was notified that there is a lien on the property securing this loan that is superior to the Bank’s liens. The Bank was not aware of this lien at the time the loan was originated, and the Bank’s settlement agent did not discover the lien during the title examination process. The Bank has filed a claim with the title company that has insured its title and lien priority. The Bank believes the title company will indemnify the Bank for any losses resulting from the superior lien, although there is no guarantee that this will be the case. Management reviews the accrual status of this loan quarterly. As of March 31, 2010, there is $33,915 of accrued interest on this loan.
Also included in amounts past due 90 days or more and still accruing at March 31, 2009, was a loan with a principal balance of $2,755,000. In May 2009, interest was brought current and a principal reduction occurred. By agreement with the borrower, Management restructured the remaining balance of this loan which is current at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information, management considers it unlikely that collection of principal and interest payments will be made according to contractual terms. Generally, loans are not reviewed for impairment until the accrual of interest has been discontinued, although management may categorize a performing loan as impaired based on knowledge of the borrower’s financial condition, devaluation of collateral, or other circumstances that are deemed relevant to loan collection. Impaired loans may have specific reserves, or valuation allowances, allocated to them in the ALLL. Estimates of loss reserves on impaired loans may be determined based on any of the three following measurement methods which conform to authoritative accounting guidance: (1) the present value of future cash flows, (2) the fair value of collateral, if repayment of the loan is expected to be provided by underlying collateral, or (3) the loan’s observable fair value. The Bank selects and applies, on a loan-by-loan basis, the appropriate valuation method. Loans determined to be impaired, but for which no specific valuation allowance is made because management believes the loan is secured with adequate collateral or the Bank will not take a loss on such loan, are grouped with other homogeneous loans for evaluation under formula-based criteria described previously.

Impaired loans including nonaccruing loans totaled $2,881,097 and $2,901,859, at March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Liquidity
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. The Company’s major sources of liquidity are loan repayments, maturities of short-term investments including federal funds sold, and increases in core deposits. Funds from seasonal deposits are generally invested in short-term U.S. Treasury Bills and overnight federal funds.
Due to its location in a seasonal resort area, the Bank typically experiences a decline in deposits, federal funds sold and investment securities throughout the first quarter of the year when business customers are using their deposits to meet cash flow needs. Beginning late in the second quarter and throughout the third quarter, additional sources of liquidity become more readily available as business borrowers start repaying loans, and the Bank receives deposits from seasonal business customers, summer residents and tourists.
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 and retail repurchase agreements were 40.21% for the first quarter of 2010 compared to 36.92% for the same quarter of 2009.
The Company has available lines of credit, including overnight federal funds and reverse repurchase agreements, totaling $28,000,000 as of March 31, 2010.
Average net loans to average deposits were 79.47% versus 84.21% as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Average net loans decreased by .64% while average deposits grew by 5.30%. Deposit increases were generally reinvested in overnight federal funds sold and investment securities. Most average deposit balance increases occurred in interest-bearing transaction and savings accounts. Resulting changes in deposit portfolio composition do not have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to meet liquidity demands.
- 17 -
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.
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.
As of March 31, 2010, 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.
Results of Operations
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2010,
was $1,265,379 or $.42 per share, compared to $1,338,690 or $.44 per
share for the first quarter of 2009. This represents a decrease of $73,311 or
5.48% from the prior year. The key components of net income are discussed in the
following paragraphs.
For the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009, net interest
income decreased $59,053 (1.51%). The decrease in interest and dividend revenue
is primarily attributable to market rate reductions which continue to cause
gradual downward repricing of interest-bearing balances in banks and investment
securities. The impact of lower rates on federal funds sold, which reprice
immediately, was felt in 2009. Interest expense was $216,762 (29.88%) less than
in the comparable period last year primarily due to lower rates on time
deposits. Most of the Bank’s time deposits have fixed rates resulting in more
gradual repricing than the Bank’s other deposit products which are immediately
repricable.
The Company’s net interest income is one of the most
important factors in evaluating its financial performance. Management uses
interest rate 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 approximately 5.3% in net interest income. Conversely,
if prime were to increase one hundred basis points, and all assets and
liabilities maturing within that period were fully adjusted for the rate change,
the Company would experience an increase in net interest income of the same
percentage. 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 or both.
The tax-equivalent quarterly yield on interest-earning assets
decreased by 48 basis points from 5.57% for first quarter 2009 to 5.09% in 2010.
The quarterly yield on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 44 basis points
from 1.28% in 2009 to .84% in 2010. In combination, these shifts contribute to a
decrease in net margin on interest-earning assets of 22 basis points.

The following table presents information including average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the amount of related interest income and interest expense, and the resulting yields by category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability. In this table, dividends and interest on tax-exempt securities and loans are reported on a fully taxable equivalent basis, which is a non-GAAP measure as defined in SEC Regulation G and Item 10 of SEC Regulation S-K. Management believes that these measures provide better yield comparability as a tool for managing net interest income.

Provisions for loan losses of $421,000 and $333,100 were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net loans charged-off were $370,411 and $73,499 during the first quarters of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Management attributes the increased loan losses to the generally poor state of the economy which has had an adverse effect on certain borrowing customers. See Loan Quality and the Allowance for Loan Losses for a discussion of the provision for loan losses.
Noninterest revenue for the first quarter of 2010 is $177,372 (38.49%) higher than the comparable period last year. Gains on sale of assets account for most of this increase. The Bank is in the process of liquidating an inventory of old coin much of which has high precious metal content. Also, in the first quarter of 2010, the Delaware Department of Transportation purchased a portion of the Company’s property in Ocean View for expansion of the adjacent highway. Gains on these two transactions comprise $143,315 of that increase. Included in miscellaneous revenue in 2010 are proceeds totaling $45,000 from the granting of easements related to the Ocean View roadway expansion. Service charges on deposit accounts are down primarily due to lower assessment of funds for insufficient items.
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2010 is $130,230 (6.63%), more than last year. Although salaries are down due to staff attrition, employee benefits are higher due to a higher unemployment tax rate and higher medical claims under the group insurance program. The increase in occupancy expense reflects the consequences of an extremely harsh winter – higher utility costs and the costs of clearing snow. ATM and debit card expenses have dropped due to the favorable renegotiation of a debit card processing contract. Deposit insurance premiums are higher primarily due to the expiration of the one-time insurance premium credit in 2009. For the year of 2010, management expects deposit insurance premiums to be lower than those assessed in 2009, assuming there is no need for another special assessment like the one paid in 2009 to restore the deposit insurance fund. Other operating expenses include increased legal fees related to loan collections and costs to maintain other real estate owned.
Income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 are $26,500 lower than the same period last year, on a pre-tax income decrease of $99,811. This is consistent with the Company’s effective tax rate of approximately 36.0%.
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, savings, and certificate of deposit accounts are tailored to the Bank’s principal market areas at rates competitive to those offered in the area.

The Bank solicits these accounts from individuals, businesses, associations and organizations, and governmental authorities.

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.

Capital Resources and Adequacy
Total stockholders’ equity increased $1,287,661 from December 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010. This increase is attributable to comprehensive income recorded during the period, as detailed in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
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 4%, 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 March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were 31.4% and 31.6%, respectively. Both are substantially in excess of regulatory minimum requirements.
The Company and the Bank did not seek assistance under the federally funded Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) developed in the last quarter of 2008. Neither the Company nor the Bank will benefit directly from TARP funds. The Bank has not engaged in subprime mortgage lending, and has no investments in mortgage backed securities.
Late in 2008, the Company and the Bank elected to participate in the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLG). A component of TLG, the Transaction Account Guarantee Program (TAG), provides additional insurance protection to holders of transaction accounts with rates not exceeding .50%. The Company’s participation in this program may have contributed to an increase in deposits in the Bank as investors seek the safety of insured deposits in community banks. Deposit insurance premiums have increased as a result of the higher deposit balances, the higher insurance limits, participation in TAG, and higher insurance rates. Management does not expect to pass all of the additional insurance premium costs on to customers. Effective July 1, 2010, the Bank will no longer participate in TAG due to the rate limitations (maximum .25%) imposed on banks that do extend their participation and the term (up to 18 months) over which rate restrictions might apply. Deposits will continue to be insured up to the limits provided under standard FDIC deposit insurance rules. Management does not expect withdrawal from the TAG program to have a significant effect on deposit balances.
In the most stable economic times, the Company cannot reliably predict the effect of changing government policies on earnings, or loan and deposit levels. Management expects 2010 to see a continuation of higher than usual fees associated with loan collection, and additional loan defaults. The full impact of the dramatic developments of 2008 and 2009 on future results of operation of the Company and the Bank, are uncertain. Although some key economic indicators are stabilizing or improving in early 2010, management recognizes that loan defaults may continue into the early months of a recovery as customers struggle to stabilize business or personal finances and property values remain at levels well below the market peak in mid-2008.

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 March 31, 2010, the Company’s interest rate sensitivity, as measured by gap analysis, showed the Company was asset-sensitive with a one-year cumulative gap of 21.20%, 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 or change the rates rests with management.
Item 4. 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 March 31, 2010. 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.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the quarter ended on the date of this report, there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s management, including the CEO and Treasurer, has concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting are effective.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1 Legal Proceedings
Not applicable
Item 1A Risk Factors
The Company and the Bank are subject to various types of risk during the normal conduct of business. There has been no material increase in any level of risk incurred by the Company or the Bank during the quarter covered by this report. Following are descriptions of the significant categories of risk most relevant to the Company.
Credit risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings or capital from the potential of an obligor failing to fulfill its contractual commitment to the Company. Credit risk is most closely associated with the Company’s lending activities.
Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings or capital from the potential movement in interest rates. It is the sensitivity of the Company’s future earnings to interest rate changes.
Liquidity risk is the risk to earnings or capital from the Company’s inability to meet its obligations when they come due without incurring unacceptable losses or costs.
Market risk is the risk to earnings or capital from changes in the value of portfolios of financial instruments. For the Company, market risk is the risk of a decline in market value of its securities portfolio.
Transaction risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from problems with service or product delivery. Transaction risk is the risk of a failure in the Company’s operating processes, such as automation, employee integrity, or internal controls.
Compliance risk is the risk to earnings or capital from noncompliance with laws, rules, and regulations. Compliance risk is one of the greatest risks the Company faces.
Reputation risk is the risk to earnings or capital from negative public opinion. Customer and public relations are critical to the Company’s success. Accordingly, the Company’s reputation is extremely important and anything that would impair that reputation is a significant risk.
Strategic risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from adverse business decisions or improper implementation of those decisions.
