PRESS RELEASE
Shore Bancshares Reports Second Quarter and First-Half Results
Easton, Maryland (07/23/2008) - Shore Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ - SHBI) reported net income of $2.766 million or $0.33 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2008, compared to $3.372 million or $0.40 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2008 and $3.356 million or $0.40 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2007. Net income for the first half of 2008 was $6.1 million or $0.73 per diluted share, compared to $6.8 million or $0.81 per diluted share for the first half of 2007.
“Having passed the halfway mark during a year that will surely prove among the most difficult for many community banks, we think our relative performance has been very good and our outlook remains quite positive as it relates to the stability and uniqueness of our markets as well as our growth prospects, our asset quality and our capital strength,” said W. Moorhead Vermilye, president and chief executive officer of Shore Bancshares, Inc. “We are cautious, but upbeat and we see the glass as much more full than empty.”
“At June 30, our total stockholders’ equity was $123 million, with average equity to average assets at 12.45% and average tangible equity to average tangible assets at 10.43%. Our capital ratios continue to be well in excess of regulatory minimums.”
“We believe our loan quality is excellent, especially given current economic conditions across the country and also closer to home in the mid-Atlantic region. We also believe the close proximity of our home markets on the Delmarva Peninsula to the major metro centers from New York down to the Norfolk-area tidewater complex gives us far more benefits than we tend to get credit for.”
“Our loan delinquencies and nonperforming assets remain at very low levels. We added $615 thousand to our provision for loan losses during the second quarter, due to economic conditions and to keep pace with overall loan growth, which was $33 million in new loans during the second quarter, as loans were up 4.1%. Our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets stood at a very favorable 0.47% at June 30, 2008 and net charge-offs for the second quarter amounted to $259 thousand. All of these measures reflect continuing adherence to our traditional very conservative approach to originating loans and to the broader process of managing overall credit quality.”
“During the second quarter, the underlying strength of our markets and our position as the dominant independent local banking company on the Delmarva Peninsula combined to produce both very respectable loan growth, plus nearly $2 million in new noninterest (fee-based) income. The increase in fee-based revenue over the second quarter of 2007 was primarily the result of our acquisition of two insurance agencies during the fourth quarter of 2007. We think the acquisitions will bode well as we strive to diversify overall fee-based revenue sources to help stabilize the impact of volatile interest rates that impact the lending side of our business.”
“On a related note, we continued to fund our loan growth primarily through our own local core deposit-gathering activities. In a very competitive environment for deposits, we were able to hold the resulting decline in our net interest margin to 49 basis points during the second quarter versus a year ago (and a 25 basis point decline versus the linked first quarter of 2008). So the margin stood at 4.17% for the second quarter of 2008 and 4.30% for the first half of 2008, which we believe is better than decent, given the operating environment for community banks,” said Vermilye. “From a strategic standpoint, we feel our company is well-positioned to take advantage of rising rates in the future. In the meantime, we plan to

remain focused on strong underwriting and core business organic growth initiatives - areas in which we traditionally excel.”
The Company’s return on average assets for the second quarter of 2008 was 1.12%, compared to 1.38% and 1.43% for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively. The return on average stockholders’ equity was 8.98% for the second quarter of 2008, compared to 10.96% for the first quarter of 2008 and 11.69% for the second quarter of 2007.
The Company’s return on average assets for the first six months of 2008 was 1.25%, compared to 1.43% for the first six months of 2007. The return on average stockholders’ equity was 10.02% for the first half of 2008, compared to 11.89% for the first half of 2007.
At June 30, 2008, total assets were $1.019 billion, total deposits were $818.7 million, and total stockholders’ equity was $123.0 million compared to $956.9 million, $765.9 million and $120.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2007. The increase in total assets of approximately $62 million since December 31, 2007 related mainly to growth in loans, funded primarily by deposit growth. The growth in loans was $65.2 million during the first half of 2008, with period-end loans totaling $841.6 million at June 30, 2008.
Review of Quarterly Financial Results
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2008 was $9.6 million, a decrease of 4.0% from the first quarter of 2008 and a decrease of 6.0% from the same period last year. Lower yields on earning assets were the primary reason for the decreases. The Company’s net interest margin was 4.17% for the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of 25 basis points when compared to the first quarter of 2008 and a decrease of 49 basis points when compared to the second quarter of 2007.
The provision for credit losses was $615 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The comparable amounts were $462 thousand and $413 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively. The increased provision for the second quarter of 2008 when compared to the first quarter of 2008 and the second quarter of 2007 reflected the continued growth in the loan portfolio and current economic conditions. Net charge-offs were $259 thousand for the second quarter of 2008, $87 thousand for the first quarter of 2008 and $34 thousand for the second quarter of 2007. Quarter-to-date annualized net charge-offs to average loans was 0.13% for the second quarter of 2008, 0.04% for the first quarter of 2008 and 0.02% for the second quarter of 2007. Nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.47% at June 30, 2008. The comparable nonperforming asset ratio was 0.34% at March 31, 2008 and 0.24% at June 30, 2007. The allowance for credit losses to period-end loans was 0.98% at both June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 and 0.94% at June 30, 2007. Management believes that the provision for credit losses and the resulting allowance were adequate at June 30, 2008.
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2008 increased $1.9 million when compared to the second quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily the result of the acquisition of two insurance agencies during the fourth quarter of 2007. Service charge income increased $135 thousand, insurance agency commissions increased $1.5 million and other noninterest income increased $250 thousand for the second quarter of 2008 when compared to the second quarter of 2007. Noninterest income decreased $308 thousand from the first quarter of 2008 due to a decrease in insurance agency commissions of $356 thousand. When compared to the first quarter of 2008 service charge income increased $46 thousand.
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2008 increased $2.0 million when compared to the second quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to the operating expenses of the two insurance agencies acquired during the fourth quarter of 2007. Salaries and benefits increased $1.0 million and other noninterest expenses increased $885 thousand for the second quarter of 2008 when compared to the second quarter of 2007. Noninterest expense increased $138 thousand from the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to an increase in other noninterest expenses partially offset by a decrease in salaries and benefits.

Review of Six-Month Financial Results
Net interest income for the first six months of 2008 was $19.7 million, a decrease of 2.4% when compared to the first six months of 2007. The decrease was primarily the result of lower yields on earning assets. The net interest margin declined 26 basis points from 4.56% for the first half of 2007 to 4.30% for the first half of 2008.
The provisions for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $1.1 million and $655 thousand, respectively. Net charge-offs were $346 thousand and $70 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increased provision in 2008 reflected the overall growth of the loan portfolio as well as current economic conditions. Year-to-date annualized net charge-offs to average loans was 0.09% for the first half of 2008 and 0.02% for the first half of 2007.
Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $10.7 million, an increase of $3.8 million when compared to the same period in 2007.

Salaries and benefits increased $2.1 million and other noninterest expenses increased $1.5 million for the first half of 2008 when compared to the first half of 2007.
