INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Carroll Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary

Sykesville, Maryland

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Carroll Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2019; the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended; and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matter

The consolidated financial statements of the Company, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated March 22, 2019, expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements.

CARROLL BANCORP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Nature of Operations

Carroll Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 18, 2011, to serve as the holding company for Carroll Community Bank (the “Bank”), a state chartered commercial bank. On October 12, 2011, in accordance with a plan of conversion adopted by its Board of Directors and approved by its members, the Bank converted from a Maryland chartered mutual savings bank to a state chartered commercial bank. The conversion was accomplished through formation of the Company to serve as the holding company of the Bank. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink marketplace of the OTC Markets Group under the symbol “CROL”.

In accordance with applicable regulations at the time of the conversion from a mutual holding company to a stock holding company, the Bank substantially restricted its retained earnings by establishing a liquidation account. The liquidation account is maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders who keep their accounts at the Bank after conversion. The liquidation account is reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event, each account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the adjusted qualifying account balances then held. The Bank may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount.

The Bank is headquartered in Sykesville, Maryland and is a community-oriented financial institution providing financial services to individuals, families and businesses through three banking offices. The Bank is subject to the regulation, examination and supervision by the State of Maryland Department of Licensing and Regulation and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), our deposit insurer. Its primary deposits are certificate of deposit, savings and demand accounts and its primary lending products are residential and commercial real estate loans.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions between the Company and the Bank have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances due from banks and non-maturity interest-bearing deposits in other banks.

Certificates of Deposit with Depository Institutions

The Bank uses this financial instrument to supplement the securities investment portfolio. Interest and dividend income is recognized as earned. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized as part of interest income using the interest method over the terms of the investments. Realized gains and losses on the sale of certificates of deposit are included in earnings based on trade date and are determined using the specific identification method. Certificates of deposit with depository institutions are not marked to market.

- 6 -

Securities

Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Securities that the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and are reported at amortized cost (including amortization of premium or accretion of discount). Securities classified as available for sale are those securities that the Bank intends to hold for an indefinite time period but not necessarily to maturity. Securities available for sale are reported at fair value. Net unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are recognized as increases or decreases in other comprehensive income, net of taxes, and are excluded from the determination of net income.

Interest and dividend income is recognized as earned. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are included in earnings based on trade date and are determined using the specific identification method. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized as part of interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities.

Declines in the fair value of individual available for sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. The related write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses for debt securities, management considers whether the Bank (1) has the intent to sell the security, or (2) will more likely than not be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, or (3) will suffer a credit loss as the present value of the cash flows is expected to be collected from the security are less than its amortized cost basis.

The Bank does not engage in securities trading.

Loans Held for Sale

The Bank may from time to time carry loans held for sale. Loans held for sale are carried at lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Market value is derived from secondary market quotations for similar instruments. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income if required. Gains or losses are determined by using the specific identification method. There were $1.5 million and $313,700 loans held for sale outstanding as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Loans and Leases

Loans and leases that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of an allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as a yield adjustment of the related loans using the interest method over the contractual term.

The accrual of interest is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status, if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest is reversed. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level to provide for losses that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent losses in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans.

- 7 -

The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific reserve component of the allowance relates to loans that are impaired. A specific reserve is established for the carrying amount of a loan less the collateral value of underlying property.

General allowances are established for loan losses on a portfolio basis for loans that do not meet the definition of impaired. The portfolio is grouped into similar risk characteristics, primarily loan type. The Company applies an estimated loss rate to each loan group. The loss rates applied are based upon its loss experience adjusted, as appropriate, for qualitative factors.

The unallocated component represents the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in estimating specific and general allowances.

A loan is considered past due or delinquent when a contractual payment is not paid by its due date. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for all loans secured by real estate by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual consumer loans for impairment disclosures.

The Bank’s charge-off policy states after all collection efforts have been exhausted, the loan is deemed to be a loss and the loss amount has been determined, the loss amount will be charged against the allowance for loan losses. Loans secured by real estate, either residential or commercial, are evaluated for loss potential at the 60 day past due threshold. At 90 days past due, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status and a specific reserve is established if the net realizable value is less than the principal value of the loan balance(s). Once the actual loss value has been determined, a charge-off for the amount of the loss is taken. Each loss is evaluated on its specific facts regarding the appropriate timing to recognize the loss. Consumer real estate loans are typically charged-off no later than 180 days past due and unsecured consumer loans are charged-off at the 90 day past due threshold or when an actual loss has been determined, whichever is earlier.

Other Equity Securities

Federal law requires a member institution of the Federal Home Loan Bank (the “FHLB”) to hold stock of its district FHLB according to a predefined formula. FHLB stock represents the required investment in the common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and is carried at cost. FHLB stock ownership is restricted and the stock can be sold only to the FHLB or to another member institution at its par value per share.

The Company evaluates the FHLB stock for impairment. The Company’s determination of whether this investment is impaired is based on an assessment of the ultimate recoverability of its cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline in value affects the ultimate recoverability of its cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLB.

The Bank also maintains an investment in capital stock of Atlantic Community Bankers Bank and Community Bankers Bank. Because no ready market exists for Atlantic Community Bankers Bank and Community Bankers Bank stock, the Bank’s investment in these stocks are carried at cost.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The Bank purchased single-premium life insurance policies on certain employees of the Bank. The cash surrender value of these policies is included in the accompanying statements of financial condition and the appreciation in the cash surrender value is classified as non-interest income.

- 8 -

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Land is carried at cost. Depreciation of premises and equipment is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Additions and improvements are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful life or the term of the lease. Estimated useful lives are 20 to 40 years for buildings, 5 to 10 years for leasehold improvements and 3 to 5 years for equipment. Charges for repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred.

Foreclosed Assets

Real estate acquired through foreclosure is recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs at the date of the foreclosure. Management periodically evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of the real estate acquired through foreclosure. In the event of a subsequent decline, management provides an additional allowance to reduce real estate acquired through foreclosure to its fair value less estimated disposal cost. Costs related to holding such real estate are included in expenses for the current period while costs relating to improving the fair value of such real estate are capitalized.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not those amounts will be realized based on consideration of available evidence. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company has a tax sharing agreement with the Bank. The agreement provides that the Company will file a consolidated federal tax return and that the tax liability shall be apportioned among the entities as would be computed if each entity had filed a separate return. According to Maryland tax law, the Company and the Bank file separate Maryland state tax returns.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, advertising expense was $72,348 and $76,600, respectively.

Comprehensive Income

GAAP requires that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, are reported as a separate component of equity, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

The element of “other comprehensive income” includes unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale, net of the impact of estimated income taxes and reclassification adjustments for gains or losses on security sales.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is disclosed as basic and diluted. Basic earnings per share is net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding unallocated ESOP shares. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options and restricted stock grants.

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees and directors, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgement, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Common Stock Dividend

On March 25, 2019, the Board of Directors declared a 5% common stock dividend, which was payable on May 1, 2019. All per share information has been revised as if the stock dividend had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the statement of financial condition when they are funded.

Credit Risk Concentrations

Most of the Bank’s activities are with customers within the state of Maryland. The Bank does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer but does have a concentration in real estate lending.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company’s revenue includes net interest income on financial instruments and non-interest income. Specific categories of revenue are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Most of the Company’s revenue is not within the scope of Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2014-09 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The revenue stream that was identified to be in scope of the guidance was deposit account service charges, ATM surcharge fees and debit card merchant fees.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated for potential recognition and/or disclosure through February 20, 2020, which is the date these financial statements were available to be issued.

Accounting Standards Pending Adoption

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. In issuing the standard, the FASB is responding to criticism that today’s guidance delays recognition of credit losses. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model. The new model, referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, will apply to: (i) financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and (ii) certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes, but is not limited to, loans, leases, held-to-maturity securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees. The CECL model does not apply to available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities. For AFS debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to what they do today, except that the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. As a result, entities will recognize improvements to estimated credit losses immediately in earnings rather than as interest income over time, as they do today. The ASU also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. ASU 2016-13 also expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for loan and lease losses. In addition, entities will need to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, ASU 2019-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted once ASU 2016-13 has been adopted. ASU No. 2016-13 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019; however, in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments ‒ Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). The Update defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies, non-SEC filers and all other companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is not an SEC filer and does not expect to early adopt ASU 2016-13. The Company has assessed the guidance and has identified the available historical loan level information. The Company is in the process of reviewing various calculation methodologies and the impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In March, 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) – Premium Amortization of Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to require such premiums to be amortized to the earliest call date unless applicable guidance related to certain pools of securities is applied to consider estimated prepayments. Under prior guidance, entities were generally required to amortize premiums on individual, non-pooled callable debt securities as a yield adjustment over the contractual life of the security. ASU 2017-08 does not change the accounting for callable debt securities held at a discount. ASU 2017-08 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company has determined the provisions of ASU No. 2017-08 did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

- 10 -

The FASB has issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework— Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Among the changes, entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reason for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. Entities are also allowed to elect early adoption of the eliminated or modified disclosure requirements and delay adoption of the new disclosure requirements until their effective date. ASU 2018-13 only revises disclosure requirements; it will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715-20). This Update amends ASC 715 to add, remove and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The Update eliminates the requirement to disclose the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as part of net periodic benefit cost over the next year. The Update also removes the disclosure requirements for the effects of a one-percentage-point change on the assumed health care costs and the effect of this change in rates on service cost, interest cost and the benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. This Update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, and must be applied on a retrospective basis. For all other entities, this Update is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2021. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Accounting Standards Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which will require organizations that lease assets – or lessees – to recognize assets and liabilities on their balance sheets for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Currently, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease for lessees primarily depends on its classification as a finance (capital) lease or operating lease. But unlike current GAAP, which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, the new standard requires companies to include both types of leases on their books. For finance leases, lessees will be required to (i) recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payment, in the statement of financial position, (ii) recognize interest on the lease liability separately from amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income and (iii) classify repayments of the principal portion of the lease liability within financing activities and payments of interest on the lease liability and variable lease payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For operating leases, lessees will be required to (i) recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payment, in the statement of financial position, (ii) recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis and (iii) classify all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. The ASU also will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amounts, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019 with an impact of $313,500 in right-to-use assets on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The guidance also provides a model for the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain nonfinancial assets, such as property and equipment, including real estate. The Company’s revenue is comprised of net interest and non-interest income. The guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, net interest income, loan origination and servicing activities, and gains and losses from securities. The majority of the Company’s revenues have not been affected. The revenue stream that was identified to be in scope of the guidance was deposit account service charges, ATM surcharge fees and debit card merchant fees. The Company adopted the standard in 2018 using a modified retrospective adoption method. The Company’s accounting policies and revenue recognition principles did not change as the principles of ASC 606 were consistent with the current revenue recognition practices.

All securities with unrealized losses have modest duration risk, low credit risk, and minimal unrealized losses when compared to the total fair value of each security. The unrealized losses that exist are the result of market changes in interest rates since the original purchase. Because the Bank does not intend to sell these securities and it is not likely if at all that the Bank will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Bank considers the unrealized losses to be temporary.

There were four securities in a loss position at December 31, 2019, of which one security had been in a loss position for greater than twelve months, and there were 30 securities in a loss position at December 31, 2018, of which 16 securities had been in a loss position for greater than twelve months.

Our residential one- to four-family first lien mortgage loan portfolio is pledged as collateral for our advances with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”).

Note 4. Credit Quality of Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

Company policies, consistent with regulatory guidelines, provide for the classification of loans that are of lesser quality as substandard, doubtful, or loss. A loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans include those loans characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans (or portions of loans) classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. Loans that do not expose us to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of these categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve our close attention, are required to be designated as special mention.

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses at an amount estimated to equal all credit losses incurred in our loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonable at the balance sheet date. Our determination as to the classification of our assets is subject to review by the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation and the FDIC. We regularly review our asset portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.

The Company provides for loan losses based upon the consistent application of our documented allowance for loan loss methodology. All loan losses are charged to the allowance for loan losses and all recoveries are credited to it. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are provided by charges to income based on various factors which, in our judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating probable losses. We regularly review the loan portfolio and make provisions for loan losses to maintain the allowance for loan losses in accordance with GAAP. The allowance for loan losses consists primarily of two components:

specific allowances are established for loans classified as substandard or doubtful. For loans classified as impaired, the allowance is established when the net realizable value (collateral value less costs to sell) of the loan is lower than the carrying amount of the loan. The amount of impairment provided for as a specific allowance is represented by the deficiency, if any, between the present value of discounted cash flows, observable market prices, or underlying collateral value and the carrying value of the loan. Impaired loans for which the estimated fair value of the loan or the fair value of the underlying collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent, exceeds the carrying value of the loan are not considered in establishing specific allowances for loan losses; and

general allowances are established for loan losses on a portfolio basis for loans that do not meet the definition of impaired loans. The portfolio is grouped into similar risk characteristics, primarily loan type and regulatory classification. We apply an estimated loss rate to each loan group. The loss rates applied are based upon our loss experience adjusted, as appropriate, for the qualitative factors discussed below. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revisions based upon changes in economic and real estate market conditions.

- 15 -

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level to provide for losses that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent losses in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans.

The adjustments to historical loss experience are based on our evaluation of several qualitative factors, including:

●

changes in the types of loans in the loan portfolio and the size of the overall portfolio;

●

changes in the levels of concentration of credit;

●

changes in the number and amount of non-accrual loans, classified loans, past due loans and troubled debt restructurings and other loan modifications;

●

changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending personnel;

●

changes in the quality of the loan review system and the degree of Board oversight;

●

changes in lending policies and procedures;

●

changes in the underlying collateral value;

●

changes in national, state and local economic trends and business conditions; and

●

changes in external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory oversight.

We evaluate the allowance for loan losses based upon the combined total of the specific and general components. Generally, when the loan portfolio increases, absent other factors, the allowance for loan loss methodology results in a higher dollar amount of estimated probable losses than would be the case without the increase. Generally, when the loan portfolio decreases, absent other factors, the allowance for loan loss methodology results in a lower dollar amount of estimated probable losses than would be the case without the decrease.

Commercial real estate loans generally have greater credit risks compared to one- to four-family residential mortgage loans we originate, as they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment experience on loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the related business and thus may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the general economy. Therefore, we expect that the percentage of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the loan portfolio will increase going forward as we continue our focus on the origination of commercial real estate loans.

Management uses a ten-point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first six categories are considered not criticized and are aggregated as a “Pass” rating.

● Pass (risk ratings 1-6) – risk ratings one to four are deemed “acceptable”. Risk rating five is “acceptable with care” and risk rating six is a “watch credit”.

● Special Mention (risk rating 7) - a special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

● Substandard (risk rating 8) - substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

● Doubtful (risk rating 9) - loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the loan’s present weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

● Loss (risk rating 10) - loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may occur in the future.

Loans classified special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss are reviewed at least quarterly to determine their appropriate classification. Non-classified commercial loan relationships greater than $500,000 are reviewed annually. Non-classified residential mortgage loans and consumer loans are not evaluated unless a specific event occurs to raise the awareness of possible credit deterioration.

Troubled debt restructurings. Loans may be periodically modified in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) to make concessions to help a borrower remain current on the loan and/or to avoid foreclosure. Generally, we do not forgive principal or interest on a loan or modify the interest rate to below market rates. When we modify loans in a TDR, we evaluate any possible impairment like any other impaired loans. If we determine that the value of the restructured loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized through a specific allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance.

If a restructured loan was nonperforming prior to the restructuring, the restructured loan will remain a nonperforming loan. After a period of six months and if the restructured loan is in compliance with its modified terms, the loan will become a performing loan. If a restructured loan was performing prior to the restructuring, the restructured loan will remain a performing loan. A performing TDR will no longer be reported as a TDR in calendar years after the year of the restructuring if the effective interest rate is equal or greater than the market rate for credits with comparable risk.

There were no TDR’s initiated during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and one during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018. The restructuring in 2018 consisted of a first lien residential mortgage in which the loan was refinanced to an adjustable rate loan with collected nonaccrual interest, late fees and initial escrow added to the principal balance of the new loan. No TDR loans defaulted during 2019.

Residential Foreclosures and Repossessed Assets — Once all potential alternatives for reinstatement are exhausted, past due loans collateralized by residential real estate are referred for foreclosure proceedings in accordance with the requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. Once the Bank obtains possession of the property collateralizing the loan, it records the repossessed property as foreclosed assets in the consolidated statement of financial condition. At December 31, 2019, there were no residential loans in the process of foreclosure. In addition, there were no foreclosed residential properties at December 31, 2019 or 2018.

In 2017, the Bank purchased a building in Westminster, Maryland for $900,000. The building was previously a branch location for 1^st Mariner Bank. The Bank completed its renovations of the building during 2019. The building contains a full-service branch on the first floor and office space for residential loan originations and loan servicing on the second floor.

Note 6. Leases

A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. For the Company, Topic 842 primarily affected the accounting treatment for operating lease agreements in which the Company is the lessee. Upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, Leases, on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded an asset of $313,495 and a corresponding liability in the amount of $298,111, included in other assets and other liabilities respectively on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company elected to adopt the transition relief under ASC Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition method. All lease agreements are accounted for as operating leases. The Company had no unamortized initial direct costs related to the establishment of these lease agreements as of January 1, 2019.

Substantially all of the leases in which the Company is the lessee are comprised of real estate property for branches and office spaces with terms extending through March 2021. All of our leases are classified as operating leases, and, therefore, were previously not recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. With the adoption of Topic 842, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the consolidated balance sheet as a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability.

In April 2010, the Bank entered into a five-year lease agreement for its Westminster branch. The lease included an option for an additional five-year lease term. The Bank exercised that option in February 2015. The Bank pays its own operating expenses, including real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and repairs. The Bank will allow the lease to expire effective August 31, 2020 as the branch has been moved to a new location. In addition, the Bank entered into a five-year lease agreement for its Bethesda branch in June 2015. The lease includes an option for the landlord to terminate the lease after three years with a one-year notice. The Bank is currently evaluating whether to enter into a new lease for this location. In February 2018, the Bank entered into a three-year lease agreement for a loan production office in Mt. Airy, Maryland. The lease includes options for two additional three-year lease terms.

The Bank was allowed a special bad debt deduction at various percentages of otherwise taxable income for years through December 31, 1987. If the amounts which qualified as deductions for income tax purposes prior to December 31, 1987 are later used for purposes other than to absorb loan losses, including distributions in liquidations, they will be subject to income tax at the then current corporate rate. Retained earnings at December 31, 2019 and 2018 include $655,000 of such bad debt deductions for which no provision for income tax has been provided.

In assessing whether the Company will be able to realize the deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, the Company believes it is more likely than not the benefits of these deductible differences will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are reduced. There was no valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties associated with tax liabilities would be classified as additional income taxes in the statement of operations. As of December 31, 2019, tax years ended December 31, 2016 through December 31, 2018 remain open and are subject to Federal and State taxing authority examination.

Note 11. Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of our customers. These financial instruments are limited to commitments to originate mortgage loans and home equity loans, and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. These do not represent unusual risks and management does not anticipate any losses which would have a material effect on us.

Outstanding loan commitments and lines of credit at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

	December 31,
	2019		2018
Commitments to extend credit:
Consumer loans	$	580,000	$	591,900
Commercial loans		2,852,000		6,515,400
		3,432,000		7,107,300
Commitments under available lines of credit:
Consumer loans		9,556,895		8,890,060
Commercial loans		4,799,048		5,596,481
		14,355,943		14,486,541
Total Commitments	$	17,787,943	$	21,593,841

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. We generally require collateral to support financial instruments with credit risk on the same basis as we do for balance sheet instruments. Management generally bases the collateral required on the credit evaluation of the counter party. Commitments generally have interest rates fixed at current market rates, expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Available credit lines represent the unused portion of lines of credit previously extended and available to the customer so long as there is no violation of any contractual condition. These lines generally have variable interest rates. Since we expect many of the commitments to expire without being drawn upon, and since it is unlikely that customers will draw upon their lines of credit in full at any time, the total commitment amount or line of credit amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis. Because we conservatively underwrite these facilities at inception, we have not had to withdraw any commitments. We are not aware of any significant loss that we would incur by funding our commitments or lines of credit.

The credit risk involved in these financial instruments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. No amount has been recognized in the statement of financial condition at December 31, 2019 or 2018 as a liability for credit loss related to these commitments.

Note 12. Defined Contribution Benefit Plan

The Company has a "safe harbor" 401(k) profit sharing plan in which a majority of its employees participate. Under the plan, the employer match is calculated on the participant’s contribution based on 100% of the first 3% of a participant’s annual salary and 50% on the next 2% of a participant’s annual salary. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Bank matched $107,859 compared to $92,205 during the year ended December 31, 2018, which is included in salaries and employee benefits expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Note 13. Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Company has an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) for eligible employees. The ESOP holds 39,048 shares of the Company’s common stock of which 17,144 shares have been allocated to eligible employees as of December 31, 2019 with 23,140 shares remaining to be allocated over the term of the ESOP loan. The ESOP allocated shares include a distribution of 1,236 vested shares to a terminated employee. All share amounts have been adjusted for the 5% stock dividend paid on May 1, 2019.

The loans from the Company to the ESOP to fund the ESOP’s purchase of the common stock are secured by the shares purchased and will be repaid by the ESOP over the term of each loan with funds from the Bank’s contributions to the ESOP and dividends payable on the common stock, if any. The interest rates on the ESOP loans are adjustable rates equal to the lowest Prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal. The interest rate will adjust monthly and will be the Prime rate on the first business day of the calendar month. The interest rate on the loans was 4.75% at December 31, 2019.

The shares purchased by the ESOP are held by trustees in an unallocated suspense account, and shares are released annually from the suspense account on a pro-rata basis as principal and interest payments are made by the ESOP to the Company. The trustees allocate the shares released among participants based on each participant’s proportional share of compensation relative to all participants.

Participants vest in their accounts 20% after each year of service and become 100% vested upon the completion of five years of service. Participants who were employed by the Bank immediately prior to the Company’s initial public offering received credit for vesting purposes for years of service prior to adoption of the ESOP. Participants also become fully vested automatically upon normal retirement, death or disability, a change in control, or termination of the ESOP. Generally, participants will receive distributions from the ESOP upon separation from service. The separated employees can elect to receive their distribution as actual shares of vested stock or cash (based on the value of the stock as of the latest plan year-end). Forfeiture of non-vested shares and shares associated with cash distributions are reallocated to plan participants in the following year along with the regular annual share allocation.

The debt of the ESOP, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is eliminated in consolidation and the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unallocated ESOP shares in the consolidated statement of financial condition. Contributions to the ESOP shall be sufficient to pay principal and interest currently due under the loan agreements. As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Bank reports compensation expense equal to the average market price of the shares for the respective period, and shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations. ESOP compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $27,792 and $28,315, respectively.

Shares held by the ESOP trust at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

	December 31,
	2019		2018
Shares held by the plan:
Allocated shares		15,908		14,325
Unallocated shares		23,140		24,041
Total shares held by the plan		39,048		38,366
Fair value of unallocated shares	$	333,216	$	326,958

The 2019 share amounts reflect the impact of a 5% stock dividend paid on May 1, 2019.

Note 14. Share-Based Compensation

The Company has a restricted stock plan for eligible employees under the Carroll Bancorp, Inc. 2011 Recognition and Retention Plan and Trust Agreement (“Plan”).

At December 31, 2019, the Company had 2,096 non-vested shares of restricted common stock pursuant to awards granted and 2,726 shares available to be granted. The unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards totaled approximately $27,523 at December 31, 2019 which is expected to be recognized over the next 27 months.

The grant basis of these restricted stock awards is based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date and is amortized in equal monthly installments over the five-year vesting period of the grant adjusted as necessary for forfeitures. The restricted stock expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $18,043 and $41,609, respectively.

The table below presents the restricted stock award activity for the periods shown:

	2019					2018
	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

Number of shares at January 1,		3,625		$	13.09		7,346		$	12.61
Granted		-			-		-			-
Vested		(1,529	)		12.73		(3,593	)		12.16
Forfeited		-			-		(128	)		11.76
Number of shares at December 31,		2,096		$	13.38		3,625		$	13.09

The number of shares and fair value have been restated for the 5% stock dividend paid on May 1, 2019.

The Company also maintains the Carroll Bancorp, Inc. 2011 Stock Option Plan. No stock options had been granted as of December 31, 2019. Options for 47,448 shares of common stock may be granted under the plan.

On December 1, 2017, the Board of Directors approved and implemented a Non-Employee Director Stock Compensation Plan. Under the plan, a director can elect to purchase newly issued shares of Carroll Bancorp, Inc. stock with their directors’ fees. The purchase price is based on the closing stock price on the date of the meeting a director earned his fees. The shares of stock are issued on a quarterly basis.

Note 15. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Unallocated ESOP and unearned Recognition and Retention Plan shares are excluded from this calculation.

	Year Ended December 31,
	2019		2018

Net Income available to common shareholders	$	349,693	$	430,589
Weighted average number of shares used in:
Basic number of shares		1,122,759		1,114,389
Adjustment for common share equivalents		2,420		5,496
Diluted number of shares		1,125,179		1,119,885
Basic net income per common share	$	0.31	$	0.39
Diluted net income per common share	$	0.31	$	0.38

The weighted average number of shares have been restated for the 5% stock dividend paid on May 1, 2019

Note 16. Related Party Transactions

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has made loans to executive officers and directors and their affiliates. The activity for related party loans for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,

Note 17. Fair Value Measurements

Accounting guidance defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below.

Level 1 Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities which use observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in active markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The types of instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets include most U.S. government and agency securities, liquid mortgage products, active listed equities and most money market securities. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As required by accounting guidance, the Bank does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.

The types of instruments valued based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency include most investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, less liquid mortgage products, less liquid equities, state, municipal and provincial obligations, and certain physical commodities. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Level 3 is for positions that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used.

Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired, at the lower of cost or market value. Market value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans and is classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable. The value of real estate collateral is determined based on an appraisal by a qualified licensed appraiser hired by the Bank, generally less a discount of 10% to account for sales costs. The value of business equipment, inventory and accounts receivable collateral is based on the net book value on the business’ financial statements and, if necessary, discounted based on management’s review and analysis. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and are adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above.

Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of loans to foreclosed assets. The fair value of a foreclosed asset is determined by the lower of carrying cost or appraised fair value, generally less a discount of 10% to account for sales costs. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised value of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Bank records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there are no observable market prices, the Bank records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

Note 18. Capital Requirements and Regulatory Matters

Federal and state banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid to the Company by the Bank, and loans or advances made by the Bank to the Company. For a Maryland chartered bank, dividends may be paid out of undivided profits or, with the prior approval of the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation, from surplus in excess of 100% of required capital stock. If, however, the surplus of a Maryland bank is less than 100% of its required capital stock, cash dividends may not be paid more than 90% of net earnings. Loans and advances are limited to 10% of the Bank’s capital and surplus on a secured basis. In addition, the payment of dividends by the Bank would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below minimum capital requirements.

The Company’s ability to pay dividends is dependent on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

- 34 -

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total, tier I and common equity tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets, tier 1 leverage to average assets and tangible capital to tangible assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2019, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 2019, the most recent notification from the Bank’s regulators, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are presented in the table below:

CARROLL BANCORP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

As used in these Notes, the terms “the Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” mean Carroll Bancorp, Inc. (“Carroll”) and, unless the context clearly suggests otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries.

Organization and Nature of Operations

Carroll, a Maryland corporation, was incorporated on February 18, 2011, to serve as the holding company for Carroll Community Bank (the “Bank”), a state chartered commercial bank. On October 12, 2011, in accordance with a plan of conversion adopted by its Board of Directors and approved by its members, the Bank converted from a Maryland chartered mutual savings bank to a state chartered commercial bank. The conversion was accomplished through formation of Carroll to serve as the holding company of the Bank. Carroll’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink marketplace of the OTC Markets Group under the symbol “CROL”.

The Bank is headquartered in Sykesville, Maryland and is a community-oriented financial institution providing financial services to individuals, families and businesses through three banking offices. The Bank is subject to the regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation (the “Maryland Commissioner”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), our deposit insurer. The Bank’s primary deposits are certificate of deposit, savings and demand accounts and its primary lending products are residential and commercial real estate loans.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Carroll and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions between Carroll and the Bank have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

Note 4. Credit Quality of Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

Company policies, consistent with regulatory guidelines, provide for the classification of loans that are considered to be of lesser quality as substandard, doubtful, or loss. A loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans include those loans characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans (or portions of loans) classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. Loans that do not expose us to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve our close attention, are required to be designated as special mention.

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses at an amount estimated to equal all credit losses incurred in our loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonable at the balance sheet date. Our determination as to the classification of our assets is subject to review by the Maryland Commissioner and the FDIC. We regularly review our asset portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.

The Company provides for loan losses based upon the consistent application of our documented allowance for loan loss methodology. All loan losses are charged to the allowance for loan losses and all recoveries are credited to it. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are provided by charges to income based on various factors which, in our judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating probable losses. We regularly review the loan portfolio and make provisions for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses in accordance with GAAP. The allowance for loan losses consists primarily of two components:

specific allowances are established for loans classified as substandard or doubtful. For loans classified as impaired, the allowance is established when the net realizable value (collateral value less costs to sell) of the loan is lower than the carrying amount of the loan. The amount of impairment provided for as a specific allowance is represented by the deficiency, if any, between the underlying collateral value and the carrying value of the loan. Impaired loans for which the estimated fair value of the loan or the fair value of the underlying collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent, exceeds the carrying value of the loan are not considered in establishing specific allowances for loan losses; and

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level to provide for losses that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent losses in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans.

The adjustments to historical loss experience are based on our evaluation of several qualitative factors, including:

●

changes in the types of loans in the loan portfolio and the size of the overall portfolio;

●

changes in the levels of concentration of credit;

●

changes in the number and amount of non-accrual loans, classified loans, past due loans and troubled debt restructurings and other loan modifications;

●

changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending personnel;

●

changes in the quality of the loan review system and the degree of Board oversight;

●

changes in lending policies and procedures;

●

changes in national, state and local economic trends and business conditions; and

●

changes in external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory oversight.

A loan is considered past due or delinquent when a contractual payment is not paid on the day it is due. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for all loans secured by real estate by the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The Bank’s charge-off policy states after all collection efforts have been exhausted, the loan is deemed to be a loss and the loss amount has been determined, the loss amount will be charged to the established allowance for loan losses. Loans secured by real estate, either residential or commercial, are evaluated for loss potential at the 60 day past due threshold. At no later than 90 days past due the loan is placed on nonaccrual status and a specific reserve is established if the net realizable value in less than the principal value of the loan balance(s). Once the actual loss value has been determined, a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses for the amount of the loss is taken. Each loss is evaluated on its specific facts regarding the appropriate timing to recognize the loss. Unsecured loans are charged-off to the allowance for loan losses at the 90 day past due threshold or when an actual loss has been determined whichever is earlier.

Commercial real estate loans generally have greater credit risks compared to one- to four-family residential mortgage loans we originate, as they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment experience on loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the related business and thus may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the general economy. Therefore, we expect that the percentage of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the loan portfolio will increase going forward as we continue our focus on the origination of commercial real estate loans.

The following tables summarize the activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Management uses a ten-level internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first six categories are considered not criticized and are aggregated as a “Pass” rating.

● Pass (risk ratings 1-6) – risk ratings one to four are deemed “acceptable”. Risk rating five is “acceptable with care” and risk rating six is a “watch credit”.

● Doubtful (risk rating 9) - loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the loan’s present weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans classified special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss are reviewed at least quarterly to determine their appropriate classification. Non-classified commercial loan relationships greater than $50,000 are reviewed annually. Non-classified residential mortgage loans and consumer loans are not evaluated unless a specific event occurs to raise the awareness of possible credit deterioration.

Troubled debt restructurings. Loans may be periodically modified in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Company’s loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions. Generally, we do not forgive principal or interest on a loan or modify the interest rate to below market rates. When we modify loans in a TDR, we evaluate any possible impairment similar to any other impaired loans. If we determine that the value of the restructured loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized through a specific allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance.

There were no TDRs modified during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 or the year ended December 31, 2019.

Residential Foreclosures and Repossessed Assets — Once all potential alternatives for reinstatement are exhausted, past due loans collateralized by residential real estate are referred for foreclosure proceedings in accordance with the requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. Once the Bank obtains possession of the property collateralizing the loan, the Company records the repossessed property within other assets as other real estate owned. At September 30, 2020, there were no residential loans in the process of foreclosure.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 825 “Financial Instruments,” which provides guidance on the fair value option for financial assets and liabilities. This guidance permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability or upon entering into a commitment. Subsequent changes must be recorded in earnings.

Simultaneously with the adoption of ASC 825, Carroll adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Under ASC 820, fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below.

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The types of instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets include most U.S. government and agency securities, liquid mortgage products, active listed equities and most money market securities. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC 820, Carroll does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.

Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired, at the lower of cost or market value. Market value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans and is classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable. The value of real estate collateral is determined based on an appraisal by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Bank. The value of business equipment, inventory and accounts receivable collateral is based on the net book value on the business’ financial statements and, if necessary, discounted based on management’s review and analysis. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and are adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above.

Foreclosed assets are adjusted for fair value upon transfer of loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised value of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Bank records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market prices, the Bank records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

The following table presents a summary of financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values for each class of the Company’s financial instruments are included in the disclosures that follow.

Cash and Cash Equivalents (Carried at Cost). The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value.

Certificates of Deposit with Depository Institutions (Carried at Cost). The carrying amounts of the certificates of deposit approximate fair value.

Securities Available for Sale (Carried at Fair Value). Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities available for sale are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange-traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, securities available for sale are classified within Level 2 and fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow. Level 2 would include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities.

Securities Held to Maturity (Carried at Amortized Cost). Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities held to maturity are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange-traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, securities held to maturity are classified within Level 2 and fair value values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow. Level 2 would include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities.

Loans, Net of Allowance for Loan Losses (Carried at Cost). The fair value of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the statement of condition date that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Impaired loans are measured at an observable market price (if available), or at fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). When the loan is dependent on collateral, fair value of collateral is determined by an appraisal or independent valuation, which is then adjusted for the estimated cost to sell. Impaired loans allocated to the allowance for loan losses are measured at the lower of cost or fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance (Carried at Surrender Value). The carrying amount of the life insurance policies is based on the accumulated cash surrender value of each policy.

Other Equity Securities (Carried at Cost). The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank and correspondent bank stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities.

Deposits (Carried at Cost). The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances (Carried at Cost). Fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flows analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. These prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.

Off- Balance Sheet Financial Instruments (Disclosures at Cost). Fair values for off-balance sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of these instruments is not material.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows at the dates indicated:

Note 7. Capital Requirements and Regulatory Matters

Federal and state banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid to Carroll by the Bank, and loans or advances made by the Bank to Carroll. For a Maryland chartered bank, dividends may be paid out of undivided profits or, with the prior approval of the Maryland Commissioner, from surplus in excess of 100% of required capital stock. If, however, the surplus of a Maryland bank is less than 100% of its required capital stock, cash dividends may not be paid in excess of 90% of net earnings. Loans and advances are limited to 10% of the Bank’s capital and surplus on a secured basis. In addition, the payment of dividends by the Bank would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below minimum capital requirements.

Carroll’s ability to pay dividends is dependent in large part on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to Carroll.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total, tier I and common equity tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets, tier 1 leverage to average assets and tangible capital to tangible assets. Management believes, as of September 30, 2016, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

Based on the most recent notification from the Bank’s regulators, the Bank was well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action as of September 30, 2020. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are presented in the table below:

	September 30, 2020

Note 8. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period exclusive of unallocated employee stock ownership plan shares and unvested restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share assumes granted unvested restricted stock as potential common stock and outstanding warrants to purchase common stock are considered in the diluted earnings per share calculations to the extent they would have a dilutive effect if converted to common stock as computed by using the Treasury Stock method.

The calculation of net income per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020			For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019		For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020			For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

Net (loss) income	$	(240,417	)	$	290,751	$	(189,634	)	$	251,541
Weighted average number of shares used in:

Note 9. Leases

A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. For the Company, ASC Topic 842 primarily affected the accounting treatment for operating lease agreements in which the Company is the lessee. Upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, Leases, on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded an asset of $313,495 and a corresponding liability in the amount of $298,111, included in other assets and other liabilities respectively on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company elected to adopt the transition relief under ASC Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition method. All lease agreements are accounted for as operating leases. The Company had no unamortized initial direct costs related to the establishment of these lease agreements as of January 1, 2019.

The following table represents the consolidated balance sheet classification of the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

	Classification	September 30, 2020			December 31, 2019

Lease Right-of-use Assets	Other assets	$	18,310		$	136,216

Lease Liabilities	Other liabilities	$	16,887		$	125,983

Weighted-average remaining lease term (months)			6.00			11.00

Weighted-average discount rate			2.72	%		2.30	%

Future Minimum Lease Payments		Operating Leases			Operating Leases
	During 2020	$	9,033		$	125,084
	During 2021		9,033			9,033
Total Future Minimum Lease Payments			18,066			134,117
Amounts Representng Interest			1,179			8,134
Present Value of Net Future Minimum Lease Payments		$	16,887		$	125,983

Note 10. Defined Contribution Benefit Plan

The Company has a "safe harbor" 401(k) profit sharing plan in which a majority of its employees participate. Under the plan, the employer match is calculated on the participant’s contribution based on 100% of the first 3% of a participant’s annual salary and 50% on the next 2% of a participant’s annual salary. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Bank matched $84,511 and $81,973 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which is included in salaries and employee benefits expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Note 11. Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Bank has an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) for eligible employees. The ESOP holds 39,048 shares of Carroll’s common stock, of which 17,144 shares have been allocated to eligible employees as of September 30, 2020 with 23,140 shares remaining to be allocated over the term of the ESOP loan. The ESOP allocated shares include a distribution of 1,236 vested shares to a terminated employee.

The shares purchased by the ESOP are held by trustees in an unallocated suspense account, and shares are released annually from the suspense account on a pro-rata basis as principal and interest payments are made by the ESOP to Carroll. The trustees allocate the shares released among participants based on each participant’s proportional share of compensation relative to all participants.

Participants vest in their accounts 20% after each year of service and become 100% vested upon the completion of five years of service. Participants who were employed by the Bank immediately prior to Carroll’s initial public offering received credit for vesting purposes for years of service prior to adoption of the ESOP. Participants also become fully vested automatically upon normal retirement, death or disability, a change in control, or termination of the ESOP. Generally, participants will receive distributions from the ESOP upon separation from service. The separated employees can elect to receive their distribution as actual shares of vested stock or cash (based on the value of the stock as of the latest plan year-end). Forfeiture of non-vested shares and shares associated with cash distributions are reallocated to plan participants in the following year along with the regular annual share allocation.

The loans from Carroll to the ESOP to fund the ESOP’s purchase of the common stock are secured by the shares purchased and will be repaid by the ESOP over the term of each loan with funds from the Bank’s contributions to the ESOP and dividends payable on the common stock, if any. The interest rates on the ESOP loans are adjustable rates equal to the lowest Prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal. The interest rate will adjust monthly and will be the Prime rate on the first business day of the calendar month. The interest rate on the loans was 3.25% at September 30, 2020.

On September 28, 2020, in connection with the pending merger with Farmers and Merchants Bank of Fowblesburg, Maryland, the ESOP repaid the outstanding loan from Carroll by remitting to Carroll 8,852 unallocated shares of Carroll’s common stock.

Shares held by the ESOP trust at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

	September 30,			December 31,
	2020			2019
Shares held by the plan:
Allocated shares		15,908			15,908
Unallocated shares		14,288	(1)		23,140
Total shares held by the plan		30,196			39,048

Fair value of unallocated shares	$	309,049		$	333,216

(1) 8,852 shares were returned to Carroll Bancorp, Inc.

Note 12. Share-Based Compensation

Carroll has a restricted stock plan for eligible employees under the Carroll Bancorp, Inc. 2011 Recognition and Retention Plan and Trust Agreement (“Plan”).

The grant basis of these restricted stock awards is based on the closing price of Carroll’s common stock on the grant date and is amortized in equal monthly installments over the five-year vesting period of the grant adjusted as necessary for forfeitures. The restricted stock expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $62,239 and $13,732, respectively.

During 2020, Carroll granted the remaining 2,726 shares in the trust. Just prior to September 30, 2020, the Plan had a total of 4,822 non-vested shares of restricted common stock. In preparation for the pending merger with Farmers and Merchants Bank on October 1, 2020, all remaining non-vested were vested and distributed out of the plan trust.

The table below presents the restricted stock award activity for the periods shown:

	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

Number of shares at January 1, 2019		3,625		$	13.09

The number of shares and fair value have been restated for the 5% stock dividend paid on May 1, 2019.

Carroll also maintains the Carroll Bancorp, Inc. 2011 Stock Option Plan. Options for 47,448 shares of common stock may be granted under the plan. No stock options had been granted as of September 30, 2020.

On December 1, 2017, the Board of Directors approved and implemented a Non-Employee Director Stock Compensation Plan. Under the plan, a director can elect to purchase newly issued shares of Carroll common stock with their directors’ fees. The purchase price is based on the closing stock price on the date of the meeting a director earned his fees. The shares of stock are issued on a quarterly basis. Due to the pending merger with Farmers and Merchants Bank, the plan was terminated in January 2020.
