DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE None. PART I - ------------------- ITEM 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS GENERAL. - Carrollton Bancorp (the "Company") is a bank holding company registered as such under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and was organized on January 11, 1990. Carrollton Bank (the "Bank") is a commercial bank and the principal subsidiary of the Company. The Bank was chartered by an act of the General Assembly of Maryland (Chapter 727) approved April 10, 1900. The Bank is engaged in a general commercial and retail banking business. SERVICE AREA. - The service area for the Bank is defined principally by geographic area. The Bank's twelve bank branches are located in Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County, and Carroll County, Maryland. The Bank attracts deposits and generates loan activity throughout this area primarily through its branch network. In addition, the Bank has made loans in Harford County, Howard County and Prince George's County, Maryland, and in southern Pennsylvania. The Bank also has deposit customers who live in Harford County and Howard County, Maryland. The Bank also operates an ATM network of 164 machines in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Delaware, and performs credit card servicing for merchants throughout Maryland. The Bank also sponsors national retailers in various electronic networks operating as regional switches for electronic transactions throughout the country. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES. - The Bank provides a broad range of consumer and commercial banking products and services to individuals, businesses, professionals and governments. The services and products have been designed in such a manner as to appeal to consumers and business principals. The loan portfolio of the Bank consists primarily of loans for which the cash flow of the borrower serves as the principal source of debt service and loan retirement, with secondary emphasis on asset-collateral and other forms of secondary support. In this regard, many small businesses require short-term inventory financing which can be supported by cash flow and individual assets. The Bank also engages in asset-based lending, traditional real estate loans and general consumer loans to individuals. The loan portfolio is approximately 35% adjustable rate loans and 65% fixed rate in terms of its repricing mix. The Bank has established and implemented lending policies and procedures, underwriting guidelines and internal control systems in order to conduct its business in a sound and prudent manner. Potential loan customers are carefully evaluated in order to assess risk and to expedite any later loan approval process. The Bank monitors and assesses the performance of the smaller businesses to which it provides funding. The following is a partial listing of the types of services and products which the Bank offers: - - Commercial loans for businesses, including those for working capital purposes, equipment purchases and accounts receivable and inventory financing. - - Commercial and residential real estate loans for acquisition, refinancing and construction. - - Selected consumer loans including automobile loans, residential mortgages, home equity loans and lines of credit. - - Loans guaranteed by the United States Small Business Administration. - - Money market deposits, demand deposits and NOW accounts and certificates of deposit. - - Letters of credit and remittance services. - - Credit and debit card services. - - Merchant credit card deposit servicing. - - Brokerage services for stocks, bonds, mutual funds and annuities. - - A 24-hour ATM Network. - - After-hours depository services. - - Safe deposit boxes. - - Other services, such as direct deposit services, travelers checks and IRA accounts. Customer service hours for the Bank are fully competitive with other institutions in the market area. The Bank also acts as a reseller of services purchased from third party vendors for customers requiring services not offered directly by the Bank. LENDING ACTIVITIES. - The Bank makes various types of loans to borrowers based on, among other things, an evaluation of the borrowers' net asset value, cash flow, security and indicated ability to repay. Loans to consumers include residential mortgages, home equity loans, home improvement loans, overdraft loans, and installment loans for automobiles, boats and recreational vehicles. The Bank also makes loans secured by deposit accounts and common stocks. The Bank's commercial loan product line includes first mortgage loans, time and demand loans, lines and letters of credit, and asset based financing. The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II, Item 8 show the classification by type of loan for the whole portfolio. First and second residential mortgage loans, made principally through a subsidiary of the Bank, Carrollton Mortgage Services Inc., ("CMSI") enable customers to purchase or refinance residential properties. These loans are secured by liens on the residential property. All first mortgage loans with a 2 loan to value greater then 80% have private mortgage insurance coverage equal to or greater than the amount required under the Federal National Mortgage Association guidelines. CMSI offers a wide variety of adjustable rate and fixed rate mortgage products. The borrower is required to meet the income and debt criteria consistent with the underwriting standards of the Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. CMSI also reviews the credit history of each applicant. CMSI offers a community homebuyer program for qualified purchasers whose income is less than or equal to 115% of the median income for the Baltimore Metropolitan Statistical Area. Under this program, CMSI will finance 100% of the purchase price, plus up to $5,000 toward closing costs. The customer must pay their pre-paids out of their own funds, and must have two months cash reserves. The borrower(s) must also obtain homebuyer counseling. While the primary emphasis of this program is first time homebuyer, low to moderate income move-up borrowers may still qualify for the program. It is intended for those homeowners that will not experience a significant gain on the sale of their current residence. They cannot own any other real estate at the time of settlement of the community homebuyer loan. Residential loans are considered low risk based on the type of collateral (residential property) and the underwriting standards used. The Bank experienced no losses on residential mortgage loans during 1999, 1998 and 1997. There were no residential mortgage loans delinquent more than 90 days at December 31, 1999. There are no discernible delinquency or loss trends relating to residential mortgage loans known to management. Home equity lines of credit are typically second mortgage loans (sometimes first mortgages) secured by the borrower's primary residence structured as a revolving borrowing line with a maximum loan amount. Customers write checks to access the line. Generally, the Bank has a second lien on the property behind the first mortgage lien holder. The Bank has a number of different equity loan products that it offers. Borrowers can choose between fixed rate loans or loans tied to the prime rate with margins ranging from 0% to 1.5%. The Bank will finance up to 90% of the value of the home in combination with the first mortgage loan balance and depending on the rate and program. As with first mortgage residential loans, borrowers are required to meet certain income and debt ratios. The Bank also has a program which will finance up to 125% of the value of the home, subject to stricter income and debt ratios, with a maximum loan amount of $25,000. Home equity loans carry a higher level of risk than first mortgage residential loans because of the second lien position on the property behind the first mortgage, and because a higher loan to value ratio is used in the underwriting of the loan. However, the overall risk of loss on home equity loans is also considered low due to the underlying values of the collateral. The Bank experienced net losses on home equity loans during 1999 of $44,000 and net recoveries on home equity loans during 1997 of $12,000. There were no losses or recoveries on home equity loans during 1998. There were approximately $305,000 of home equity loans delinquent more than 90 days at December 31, 1999. There are no discernible delinquency or loss trends relating to home equity loans known to management. Commercial and investment mortgage loans are first mortgage loans made to individuals or to businesses to finance acquisitions of plant or earning assets, such as rental property. These loans are secured by a first mortgage lien on the commercial property, and may be further secured by other property or other assets depending on the variability of the value of the mortgaged property. In most instances, these loans are guaranteed personally by the principals. The Bank typically looks for cash flow from the business at least equal to 100% coverage of the business debt service, and to income-producing property to be self-supporting generally with a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 120% to 125%. Commercial mortgage loans carry more risk than residential real estate loans. First, commercial mortgage loans tend to be larger in size, and the properties tend to exhibit more fluctuation in value. Second, the repayment of the loan is primarily dependent on the success of the business itself, or the tenants in the case of income producing property. Economic cycles can affect the success of a business depending on the type of business. Therefore, business risk to the Bank's customer is involved. The Bank experienced net losses on commercial mortgage loans in 1998 of $81,000. The Bank did not experience any losses on commercial mortgage loans during 1999 and 1997. There were $193,000 of commercial mortgage loans past due more than 90 days at December 31, 1999. There are no known discernible delinquency or loss trends relating to commercial mortgage loans. Construction and land development loans are loans to finance the acquisition and development of parcels of land and to construct residential housing or commercial property. The Bank's financing of these types of transactions principally relates to projects for residential housing development and construction. The Bank typically will finance 70% to 75% of the discounted future value of these projects, or 80% of value or 90% of cost, whichever is less, on a single-family detached home. The loan is collateralized by the project or real estate itself, and other assets or guarantees of the principals in most cases. Repayment to the Bank is anticipated from the proceeds of sale of the final units, or permanent mortgage financing on a residential construction loan for a single borrower. These types of loans carry a higher degree of risk than a commercial mortgage loan because often the end result is an anticipated future event, the timing of 3 which is not always controllable. Interest rates, buyer preferences, and desired locations are all subject to change during the period from the time of the loan commitment to final delivery of the final unit, all of which can change the economics of the project. In addition, real estate developers to whom these loans are typically made are subject to the business risk of operating a business in a competitive environment. The Bank did not experience any losses on construction and land development loans during 1999, 1998 or 1997. There were no construction and land development loans past due more than 90 days at December 31, 1999. There are no discernible delinquency or loss trends relating to construction and land development loans known to management. Time and demand loans and lines of credit are loans to businesses for relatively short periods of time, usually not more than one year. These loans are made for any valid business purpose. These loans may be secured by assets of the borrower or guarantor, but also may be unsecured based on the personal guarantee of the principal. If secured, loans may be made for up to 100% of the value of the collateral. Time and demand loans and lines of credit are more risky than secured commercial real estate lending transactions. The businesses to which these loans are made are subject to normal business risk, and cash flows of the business may be subject to economic cycles. In addition, the value of the collateral may fluctuate, or the collateral may be used for other purposes if not subject to Uniform Commercial Code filings. If guaranteed by the principal, the net worth and assets of the principal may be dissipated by demands of the business, or due to other factors. The Bank had net losses of $71,000, $236,000 and $24,000 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. There were $531,000 of time and demand and line of credit loans delinquent more than 90 days at December 31, 1999. There are no discernible delinquency or loss trends relating to time and demand loans or lines of credit known to management. Home improvement loans are loans made to borrowers to complete improvements to their homes including such projects as room additions, swimming pool installations or new roofs. Home improvement loans include those made directly to customers and those made indirectly or originated through an approved home improvement dealer. The Bank makes unsecured home improvement loans to a maximum amount of $12,500, and any loan above that limit is secured by a deed of trust. Borrowers are required to own their home, and to meet certain income and debt ratio requirements. The Bank also reviews the credit history of all applicants. Because they are unsecured or secured by a deed of trust, these loans are more risky than first mortgage residential lending. This risk is mitigated somewhat based on the fact that the loans are used to improve the borrower's home, typically a borrower's most significant asset. In addition, the income-and-debt-ratio requirement helps determine the borrower's current ability to repay the loan. In 1998 and 1997, the Bank had net charge-offs of home improvement loans of approximately $4,000, and $49,000 respectively and net recoveries in 1999 of $5,000. There were no home improvement loans delinquent more than 90 days at December 31, 1999. There are no discernible loss or delinquency trends relating to home improvement loans known to management. The remainder of the consumer loan portfolio is composed of installment loans for automobiles, boats and recreational vehicles, overdraft protection lines, and loans secured by deposit accounts or stocks. The largest portion of this group is installment loans for automobiles and other vehicles. The Bank will finance 85% of the cost of a new car purchase, or the maximum loan amount as determined by the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) publication for used cars. The Bank will finance 85% of the cost of a new boat or RV, or the maximum loan amount determined by the NADA Boat/RV Guide for used Boats and RVs. These loans are secured by the vehicle purchased. Borrowers must meet certain income and debt ratio requirements, and a credit review is performed on each applicant. These types of loans are subject to the risk that the value of the vehicle will decline faster than the amount due on the loan. However, the income-to-debt ratio requirement helps determine the borrower's current ability to repay. The Bank had no net losses on automobile loans in 1999, and net losses for 1998 and 1997 of $1,000, and $5,000, respectively. There were no automobile or other vehicle loans past due more than 90 days at December 31, 1999. There are no discernible delinquency or loss trends relating to automobile or other vehicle loans known to management. Overdraft lines and other personal loans are unsecured lending arrangements. These loans or lines of credit are made to allow customers to easily make purchases of consumer goods. The line amounts are subject to fairly low limits based on an assessment of the customer's credit history and income and debt ratios. If the lines are handled as agreed, they will typically be automatically renewed each year. Because they are unsecured, these loans carry a higher level of risk than secured lending transactions. The Bank attempts to mitigate significant risk by establishing fairly low credit limits. Net charge-offs in 1999, 1998 and 1997 were approximately $60,000, $209,000, and $113,000, respectively. There were no overdraft loans and other personal loans past due more than 90 days at December 31, 1999. There are no discernible delinquency or loss trends relating to overdraft lines and other Personal Loans known to management, however, the increased losses for the three year period relate primarily to a higher level of personal bankruptcy filings. Loans secured by savings accounts in the Bank and stock and bond certificates are secured lending 4 arrangements. The Bank will advance funds for up to 100% of balances in savings or certificates of deposit accounts in the Bank. The Bank will advance funds up to 70% of the market value of actively traded stock certificates and bonds or 60% of the market value of listed but not actively traded stocks and bonds. Loans secured by stocks and bonds are subject to margin calls to maintain the loan to value ratio. Collateral is not released until the loan is repaid, and the borrower is generally required to pay interest monthly. There were no losses on loans secured by savings accounts or stock and bond certificates during 1999, 1998 or 1997. There were no loans secured by savings accounts or stock and bond certificates past due more than 90 days at December 31, 1999. There are no discernible delinquency or loss trends relating to loans secured by savings accounts or stock and bond certificates known to management. Reference is also made to Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report for the composition of the loan portfolio by type of loan. This Note will indicate the relative size of the various types of loans to the portfolio in total. Reference is made to the Statistical Disclosures in this Report for an allocation of the allowance for loan losses by type of loan which also indicates management's assessment of the degree of risk that each type of loan carries. The Bank is the principal originator of the loans it makes, with the exception of residential mortgage loans and home equity loans and lines of credit. These types of loans are predominately loans purchased from a network of brokers or other types of originators with whom the Bank does business. The Bank has begun to sell loans into the secondary market and therefore derives a small amount of noninterest income from serviced loans. These income amounts are not significant to the amounts of noninterest income derived from other sources. Reference is made to Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which contains the amounts of nonaccrual and delinquent loans at December 31, 1999. Carrollton Community Development Corporation (CCDC), an 87.5% owned subsidiary of Carrollton Bank, was established in 1995 for the purpose of promoting, developing, and improving the housing and economic conditions of people in Maryland with particular emphasis on Metropolitan Baltimore. CCDC encourages and assists though loans, investments, and other transactions, to increase housing for low and moderate income individuals. INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES. - The Bank maintains a portfolio of investment securities to provide liquidity and income. The current portfolio amounts to about 20% of total assets, and is invested primarily in U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government Agencies, state and municipal bonds, and mortgage backed securities with maturities varying from 2000 to 2024. Reference is made to Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report and Statistical Disclosures for additional information concerning the investment portfolio. DEPOSIT SERVICES. - The Bank offers a wide range of both personal and commercial types of deposit accounts and services as a means of gathering funds. Types of deposit accounts available include noninterest bearing demand checking, interest bearing checking (NOW accounts), savings, money market, certificates of deposit, individual retirement accounts, and Christmas Club accounts. These accounts carry varying fee structures depending on the level of services desired by the customer and varying interest rates depending on the balance in the account maintained by the customer. Commercial deposit customers may also choose an overnight investment account which automatically invests excess balances available in demand accounts on a daily basis in repurchase agreements. The Bank's customer base for deposits is primarily retail in nature. The Bank does offer certificates of deposit over $100,000 to its retail and commercial customers. The Bank has used deposit brokers in the past and may do so in the future to meet liquidity needs. The balance of accounts over $100,000 is not significant, and these accounts are offered principally as accommodations to existing customers. Reference is also made to Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report for additional information concerning deposits of the Bank. BROKERAGE ACTIVITIES. - Carrollton Financial Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Bank, provides full service brokerage services for stocks, bonds, mutual funds and annuities. For 1999, commission and other income totaled $1,013,251 and income after taxes was $197,374. SOURCES OF BUSINESS. - The major focus of the Bank's marketing efforts is both on individual consumers and on small to medium-sized businesses and professionals in the Bank's service area. The Bank's ability to generate deposits, loans and service income is dependent upon the growth of its market and the development and execution of a marketing strategy. Marketing primarily involves the print, television and radio media, and sponsorships of various prominent events in the Bank's market area. Direct mail is used on a sporadic basis, and direct calling on business customers is performed by branch and commercial lending personnel. The Bank's customers also promote the bank through word of mouth referral. In its marketing efforts, the Bank emphasizes the advantages of dealing with a locally-owned institution which provides personalized service and is sensitive to the particular needs of consumers and businesses. COMPETITION. - The Bank faces strong competition in all areas of its operations. This competition comes from entities operating in Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County and Carroll County, and includes branches of some of the largest banks in Maryland. Its most direct competition for deposits historically has come from other commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations and credit unions. The Bank also competes for deposits with money market funds, mutual funds and corporate and government securities. The Bank competes with the same banking entities for loans, as well as mortgage banking companies and other institutional lenders. The 5 competition for loans varies from time to time depending on certain factors, including, among others, the general availability of lendable funds and credit, general and local economic conditions, current interest rate levels, conditions in the mortgage market and other factors which are not readily predictable. Some of the Bank's competitors have greater assets and operating capacity than the Bank. ASSET MANAGEMENT. - The Bank makes available several types of loan services to its customers as described above, depending on customer needs. Recent emphasis has been made on originating short-term (one year or less), variable rate commercial loans and variable rate home equity lines of credit, with the balance of its funds invested in consumer/installment loans and real estate loans, both commercial and residential. The addition of a mortgage subsidiary in late 1997 resulted in growth in residential mortgage lending during 1998 and 1999; due to the company's liability sensitive position in an increasing rate environment a decision to place the mortgage subsidiary in an inactive status has been made. In addition, a portion of the Bank's assets is invested in high-grade securities and other investments in order to provide income, liquidity and safety. Such investments include U.S. government and U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, as well as advances of federal funds to other member banks of the Federal Reserve System. Subject to the effects of taxes, the Bank also invests in tax-exempt state and municipal securities with a minimum rating of "A" by a recognized ratings agency. The Bank's primary source of funds is customer deposits. Increased usage of wholesale funding sources over the past two years has been necessary to support growth in the loan portfolio. The risk of non-repayment (or deferred payment) of loans is inherent in the business of commercial banking, regardless of the type of loan or borrower. The Bank's efforts to expand its loan portfolio to small and medium-sized businesses may result in the Bank undertaking certain lending risks which are somewhat different from those involved in loans made to larger businesses. The Bank's management evaluates all loan applications and seeks to minimize the exposure to credit risks through the use of thorough loan application, approval and monitoring procedures. However, there can be no assurance that such procedures significantly reduce all risks. EMPLOYEES. - As of December 31, 1999, the Bank and its subsidiaries had 155 full time equivalent employees, 44 of whom were officers. Each officer generally has responsibility for one or more loan, banking, customer contact, operations, or subsidiary functions. Non-officer employees are employed in a variety of administrative capacities. Management does not anticipate any inordinate difficulty in recruiting and training such additional officers and employees as it may need in the future. Management believes that relations with its employees are good. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION SUPERVISION AND REGULATION OF THE COMPANY. - As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA"). The BHCA is administered by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Board of Governors"), and the Company is required to file with the Board of Governors such reports and information as may be required pursuant to the BHCA. The Board of Governors also may examine the Corporation and any of its nonbank subsidiaries. The BHCA requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Board of Governors before: (i) it or any of its subsidiaries (other than a bank) acquires substantially all of the assets of any bank; (ii) it acquires ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if after such acquisition it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than five percent of the voting shares of such bank; or (iii) it merges or consolidates with any other bank holding company. Under the BHCA, a bank holding company is generally prohibited from engaging in, or acquiring direct or indirect control of more than five percent of the voting shares of any company engaged in non-banking activities. A major exception to this prohibition is for activities the Board of Governors finds, by order or regulation, to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. Some of the activities that the Board of Governors has determined by regulation to be properly incident to the business of a bank holding company are: making or servicing loans and certain types of leases; engaging in certain investment advisory and discount brokerage activities; performing certain data processing services; acting in certain circumstances as a fiduciary or as an investment or financial advisor; ownership of certain types of savings associations; engaging in certain insurance activities; and making investments in certain corporations or projects designed primarily to promote community welfare. Certain provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvements Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") also may impact the operations of the Company. FDICIA requires that the Board of Governors adopt regulations establishing safety and soundness standards for bank holding companies relating to: (i) internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems; (ii) loan documentation; (iii) credit underwriting; (iv) interest rate exposure; (v) asset growth; and (vi) compensation and benefit standards for officers, directors, employees and principal shareholders. The Board of Governors proposed regulations to implement this requirement in April 1993. Final regulations were to become effective by December 1,1993. FDICIA 6 also requires any bank holding company which controls an undercapitalized insured bank to act as a "source of strength" to such bank. See "Holding Company Guaranty" below. Finally, FDICIA permits the appropriate federal bank regulatory agency to require a bank holding company to divest itself of a bank subsidiary in certain circumstances. See "Prompt Corrective Action" below. The Company is an "affiliate" of the Bank under the Federal Reserve Act, which imposes certain restrictions on: (i) loans by the Bank to the Company; (ii) investments in the stock or securities of theCompany; and (iii) the Bank taking stock or securities of the Company as collateral for loans by it to a borrower. See "Transactions with Affiliates" below. The Company also is an affiliate of the Bank under the Maryland Financial Institutions Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland (the "Financial Institutions Article"). As such, the Commissioner of Financial Regulation for the State of Maryland (the "Commissioner") has the same authority to examine the business of the Company that it has to examine the business of the Bank. Federal law generally prohibits the current acquisition of banks or bank holding companies in Maryland by out-of-state banks or bank holding companies, although the Financial Institutions Article allows regional interstate banking by permitting banking organizations in certain states to acquire Maryland banking organizations if Maryland banking associations are allowed to acquire banking organizations in their states. As a result of this provision, banking organizations in other states, most significantly North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia, have entered the Maryland market through acquisitions of Maryland institutions. Those acquisitions are subject to federal and Maryland approval. The so-called "Douglas Amendment" to the Bank Holding Company Act was amended effective September 29, 1995 to allow an "adequately capitalized and adequately managed" bank holding company to acquire a bank or substantially all of its assets located in any other state regardless of whether the acquisition is expressly authorized under state law. President Clinton also signed into law a bill which, among other things, allows interstate branching by banking organizations June 1, 1997, subject to each states' separate decision to allow interstate branch banking within the state. As a result of such legislation, it is anticipated that competition by financial institutions within Maryland may increase due to entrance into the market place by branches of out-of-state banks. Such legislation could also spur increased acquisition activity of Maryland institutions by out-of-state organizations. During the 1995 legislative session, the State of Maryland passed legislation to allow interstate branch banking within Maryland. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION OF THE BANK. - The Bank is the only direct subsidiary of the Company. The Bank operates as a banking institution incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland and is subject to examination by the Commissioner. The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System (an "insured nonmember bank") and as such, its primary federal regulator is the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). Deposits in the Bank are insured by the FDIC. The Commissioner and the FDIC regulate or monitor all areas of the Bank's operations, including reserves, loans, loans to directors, officers or principal shareholders, loans to one borrower, capital, investments, borrowings, deposits, mergers, issuance of securities, payment of dividends, interest rates payable on deposits, interest rates or fees chargeable on loans, establishment of branches, corporate reorganizations and maintenance of books and records. EXAMINATIONS. - Pursuant to FDICIA, and subsequent amendments thereto, examinations of insured nonmember banks having assets of $250,000,000 or more must be conducted no less frequently than every 12 months, and examinations of insured nonmember banks having assets of less than $250,000 must be conducted no less frequently than every 18 months. The Bank is subject to assessments by the FDIC to cover the costs of such examinations. As a result of such examinations, the FDIC may revalue assets of the Bank and require establishment of specific reserves in amounts equal to the difference between such revaluation and the book value of the assets. SAFETY AND SOUNDNESS. - The FDIC is authorized to promulgate regulations to ensure the safe and sound operations of insured nonmember banks and may impose various requirements and restrictions on the activities of insured nonmember banks. Additionally, under FDICIA, the FDIC was required to prescribe safety and soundness regulations no later than December 1, 1993 relating to: (i) internal controls, information systems, and internal audit systems; (ii) loan documentation; (iii) credit underwriting; (iv) interest rate exposure; (v) asset growth; and (vi) compensation and benefit standards for officers, directors, employees and principal shareholders. LOANS AND DEPOSIT PRODUCTS. - Interest and certain other charges collected or contracted for by the Bank are subject to state usury and consumer protection laws and certain federal laws concerning interest rates. The Bank's loan operations are also subject to certain federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the Truth-in-Lending Act (governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers), the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit), the Fair Credit Reporting Act (governing the use of information from and provision of information to credit reporting agencies and others), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (governing the manner in which consumer debts 7 may be collected), and the rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal laws. The deposit operations of the Bank also are subject to the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (governing automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers' rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services), the Truth-in-Savings Act (governing disclosures of terms applicable to deposit accounts), the Expedited Funds Availability Act (governing the availability of certain funds deposited into transaction accounts), and the rules and regulations of the Board of Governors implementing such acts. Pursuant to FDICIA, the FDIC has adopted regulations prescribing standards for extensions of credit by insured nonmember banks secured by liens on orinterests in real estate and made for the purpose of financing the construction of a building or other improvements to real estate. The FDIC regulations require insured nonmember banks to establish and maintain written internal real estate lending policies consistent with safe and sound banking practices and appropriate to the size of the bank. These policies must include loan portfolio diversification standards, prudent underwriting standards (including clear and measurable loan-to-value limits), loan administration procedures, and documentation, approval and reporting requirements to monitor compliance with the policies. Finally, the regulations require insured nonmember banks to monitor conditions in its real estate market to ensure that its lending policies continue to be appropriately based on current market conditions. CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. - Under regulations promulgated by the FDIC, insured nonmember banks currently are required to maintain "core" or "tier 1" capital of at least 3% of total assets (the "Leverage Ratio"). For all but the most highly rated banks, the minimum Leverage Ratio requirement will be 4% to 5% of total assets. Tier 1 capital consists of: (i) common shareholders' equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries; (ii) minus intangible assets (other than certain purchased mortgage and credit card servicing rights); (iii) minus certain losses, and minus investments in certain securities subsidiaries. In addition, each insured nonmember bank also must maintain a "tier 1 risk-based capital ratio" of 4%. The "tier 1 risk-based capital ratio" is defined in FDIC regulations as the ratio of tier 1 capital to "risk-weighted assets." A bank's total risk-weighted assets are determined by: (i) converting each of its off-balance sheet items to an on-balance sheet credit equivalent amount; (ii) assigning each on-balance sheet asset and the credit equivalent amount of each off-balance sheet item to one of the five risk categories established in the FDIC's regulations; and (iii) multiplying the amounts in each category by the risk factor assigned to that category. The sum of the resulting amounts constitutes total risk-weighted assets. Finally, each insured nonmember bank is required to maintain a "total risk-based capital ratio" of at least 8%. The "total risk-based capital ratio" is defined in FDIC regulations as the ratio of total qualifying capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined above). Total capital, for purposes of the risk-based capital requirement, consists of the sum of tier 1 capital (as defined for purposes of the Leverage Ratio) and supplementary capital. Supplementary capital includes such items as cumulative perpetual preferred stock, long-term and intermediate-term preferred stock, term subordinated debt and general valuation loan and lease loss allowances (but only in an amount of up to 1.25% of total risk-weighted assets). The maximum amount of supplementary capital that may be counted towards satisfaction of the total capital requirement is limited to 100% of core capital. Additionally, term subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock only may be included in supplementary capital up to 50% of tier 1 capital. Capital requirements higher than the generally applicable minimum requirements may be established for a particular insured nonmember bank if the FDIC determines that the bank's capital is or may become inadequate in view of its particular circumstances. Individual minimum capital requirements may be imposed where a bank is receiving special supervisory attention, has a high degree of exposure to interest rate risk, or poses other safety or soundness concerns. Deficient capital may result in the suspension of an institution's deposit insurance. Under FDICIA, the FDIC was required to revise its risk-based capital standard no later than June 19, 1993 to ensure that such standard takes adequate account of: (i) interest rate risk; (ii) concentration of credit risk; and (iii) the risk of nontraditional activities and to adequately reflect the actual performance and expected risk of loss on multifamily mortgages. Although the FDIC, together with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Board of Governors published a joint notice of proposed rule making addressing the interest rate risk issue, no final action has occurred with respect thereto nor has the FDIC taken any action to date with respect to concentration of credit risk, the risk of nontraditional activities or the expected risk on multifamily mortgages. PROMPT CORRECTIVE ACTION. - Under FDIC regulations, any insured nonmember bank that receives notice from the FDIC that it is undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized must file a capital restoration plan with the FDIC addressing, among other things, the manner in which the bank will increase its capital to comply with all applicable capital standards. Under the prompt corrective action regulation 8 adopted by the FDIC, an institution will be considered: (i) "well capitalized" if the institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater, and a Leverage Ratio of 5% or greater (provided the institution is not subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive or prompt corrective action to meet and maintain a specified capital level for any capital measure); (ii) "adequately capitalized" if the institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater, and a Leverage Ratio of 4% or greater (3% or greater if the institution is rated composite 1 in its most recent report of examination); (iii) "undercapitalized" if the institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8%, or a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4%, or a Leverage Ratio of less than 4% (3% if the institution is rated composite 1 in its most recent report of examination); (iv) "significantly undercapitalized" if the institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%, or a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3%, or a Leverage Ratio that is less than 3%; and (v) "critically undercapitalized" if the institution has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is less than 2%. The regulation also permits the FDIC to determine that an institution should be placed in a lower category based on the existence of an unsafe and unsound condition or on other information, such as the institution's examination report, after written notice. The degree of regulatory intervention mandated by FDICIA and the prompt corrective action regulation is tied to an insured nonmember bank's capital category, with increasing scrutiny and more stringent restrictions being imposed as a bank's capital declines. The prompt corrective actions specified by FDICIA for undercapitalized banks include increased monitoring and periodic review of capital compliance efforts, a requirement to submit a capital restoration plan, restrictions on dividends and total asset growth, and limitations on certain new activities (such as opening new branches and engaging in acquisitions and new lines of business) without FDIC approval. Banks that are significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized may be required to raise additional capital so that the bank will be adequately capitalized or be acquired by, or combined with, another bank if grounds exist for appointing a receiver. Further, the FDIC may restrict such banks from (i) entering into any material transaction without the prior approval of the FDIC; (ii) making payments on subordinated debt; (iii) extending credit for any highly leveraged transaction; (iv) making any material change in accounting methods; (v) engaging in certain affiliate transactions; (vi) paying interest on deposits in excess of the prevailing rates of interest in the region where the institution is located; (vii) paying excess compensation or bonuses; and (viii) accepting deposits from correspondent depository institutions. In addition, the FDIC may require that such banks: (a) hold a new election for directors, dismiss any director or senior executive officer who held office for more than 180 days immediately before the institution became undercapitalized, or employ qualified senior executive officers; and (b) divest or liquidate any subsidiary which the FDIC determines poses a significant risk to the institution. Any company which controls a significantly undercapitalized insured nonmember bank may be required to: (i) divest or liquidate any affiliate other than an insured depository institution; or (ii) divest the bank if the FDIC determines that divestiture would improve the bank's financial condition and future prospects. Generally a conservator or receiver must be appointed for a critically undercapitalized bank no later than 90 days after the bank becomes critically undercapitalized, subject to a limited exception for banks which are in compliance with an approved capital restoration plan and which the FDIC certifies as not likely to fail. Additionally, the FDIC may impose such other restrictions on a capital-deficient bank as the FDIC deems necessary or appropriate for the safety and soundness of the bank, its depositors and investors, including limitations on investments and lending activities. The failure by a bank to materially comply with an approved capital plan constitutes an unsafe or unsound practice. HOLDING COMPANY GUARANTY. - FDICIA and the regulations promulgated by the FDIC pursuant thereto also require any company that has control of an "undercapitalized" insured nonmember bank, in conjunction with the submission of a capital restoration plan by the bank, to guarantee that the bank will comply with the plan and provide appropriate assurances of performance. The aggregate liability of any such controlling company under such guaranty is limited to the lesser of: (i) 5% of the bank's assets at the time it became undercapitalized; or (ii) the amount necessary to bring the bank into capital compliance at the time the bank fails to comply with the terms of its capital plan. BROKERED AND OTHER DEPOSITS. - Under applicable FDIC regulations, only well-capitalized depository institutions may solicit, accept, renew or roll over any brokered deposit. Adequately-capitalized depository institutions may accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits only after obtaining a waiver from the FDIC. Adequately-capitalized institutions are subject to limits on rates of interest they may pay on brokered deposits. Undercapitalized institutions are subject to limits on rates of interest they may pay on deposits in general. LIMITATION ON BANK ACTIVITIES. - The scope of activities in which an insured nonmember bank may engage and the permissible investments which an insured nonmember bank may make are subject to federal and Maryland law. Further, pursuant to 9 FDICIA and the regulations of the FDIC promulgated pursuant thereto, an insured nonmember bank may engage only in those activities, and make only those investments, as are permissible for national banks. National banks generally are permitted to engage in certain enumerated banking functions and all such activities as are incidental thereto. Further, national banks, and as a result of FDICIA, insured nonmember banks are severely limited as to the types of debt and equity securities in which such banks may invest. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. - Transactions engaged in by an insured nonmember bank or one of its subsidiaries with affiliates of such bank are subject to the affiliate transactions restrictions contained in Section 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act in the same manner and to the same extent as such restrictions apply to transactions engaged in by a Federal Reserve System member bank or one of its subsidiaries with affiliates of that member bank. Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act imposes both quantitative and qualitative restrictions on transactions engaged in by a member bank or one of its subsidiaries with an affiliate, while Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act requires, among other things, that all transactions with affiliates be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the member bank or the subsidiary, as the terms that would apply, or would be offered in, a comparable transaction with an unaffiliated party. Loans made by an insured nonmember bank to its directors, executive officers and principal shareholders, to the directors, executive officers and principal shareholders of its affiliates, or to the related interests of any of the foregoing (collectively, "insiders") must comply with Maryland law and the requirements of Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and certain of the regulations of the Board of Governors promulgated pursuant thereto, except to the extent more stringent requirements are established by the FDIC. Among other things, Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act require that all loans to insiders be made on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unaffiliated borrowers and not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. Maryland law further requires that such loans with limited exceptions be approved by the board of directors or executive committee and be reviewed every six months by the board. Additionally, the aggregate amount of loans or extensions of credit outstanding to any insider may not exceed the loans to one borrower limitation applicable to national banks. Further, FDICIA limits the aggregate amount of loans or extension of credit outstanding to all insiders to 100% of the amount of unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus of the institution. REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS ON THE PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS BY THE BANK TO THE COMPANY. - FDICIA restricts the ability of federally-insured banks to pay any dividend (other than a dividend in the form of additional shares, or options to purchase additional shares, of the bank) if, after paying the dividend, the bank would be undercapitalized. COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT. - The Community Reinvestment Act (the "CRA") and the regulations of the FDIC promulgated pursuant thereto require each insured nonmember bank to delineate its local community, adopt a CRA statement listing the local community and the types of credit the bank is prepared to extend in that community and to make its CRA statement available for public inspection. The FDIC periodically evaluates performance and compliance with the CRA statement. The failure to adequately perform community reinvestment activities could result in the denial of applications to acquire banking and non-banking institutions, establish branches, obtain deposit insurance for newly-chartered banks, or to relocate the main office or a branch office of a bank. INSURANCE OF DEPOSITS. - The Bank's deposits are insured by the FDIC through the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF") up to a maximum of $100,000 for each insured depositor. The insurance premium payable by each BIF member is based on the institution's assessment base (generally total deposit accounts subject to certain adjustments). The premiums are paid in quarterly assessments. The FDIC promulgated regulations establishing a risk-based assessment system commencing in 1993. Under the risk-based assessment system, each institution is assigned to one of three capital groups and to one of three supervisory subgroups for purposes of determining an assessment rate. The capital group is determined by the institution's regulatory capital position. The supervisory subgroup assignments are based on a determination by the FDIC's Director of the Division of Supervision. Institutions can request a review of the supervisory subgroup assignment. Under this formula, well-capitalized institutions classified as Subgroup "A" (financially sound institutions with only a few minor weaknesses) will pay the most favorable assessment rate of 0%, subject to a minimum assessment, while undercapitalized institutions classified as Subgroup "C" (institutions which pose a substantial probability of loss to the BIF unless corrective action is taken) will pay the least favorable assessment rate of 0.27%. In addition, as a result of federal legislation during 1996, BIF insured financial institutions are assessed for repayment of the Financing Corporation (FICO) bonds. The currently assessed annual FICO BIF rate is .013% of deposits. The Company's subsidiary bank total insurance premium (FDIC and FICO combined) is currently the minimum required by the FDIC and amounts to approximately $30,000 annually based on the Bank's current deposit level. Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC after notice and hearing, upon a finding by the FDIC that an insured nonmember bank has 10 engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, rule, regulation, order or condition imposed by, or written agreement with, the FDIC. Additionally, the FDIC may temporarily suspend insurance on new deposits received by an insured nonmember bank that has no tangible capital and no goodwill includible in core capital. INCOME TAXES. - The Company and its subsidiaries are required to file annual income tax returns with both the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and the taxing authorities in any state in which they are qualified to do business. Because the Bank is under $500 million in asset size, it is permitted to use the reserve method of tax accounting for determining bad debt deductions for income tax purposes. At December 31, 1999, the Bank had a tax bad debt reserve of $608,000 and a book bad debt reserve of $2.8 million. The Bank has provided a deferred tax asset on its books for the difference between its tax and book bad debt reserves. If the Bank were to grow to a size of $500 million or greater, it would be required to recapture its tax bad debt reserve over a four year period and pay taxes on that amount. For financial accounting purposes, the payment of these taxes would be offset by an increase in the deferred tax asset related to the difference between tax and book bad debt reserves, potentially subject to a total deferred tax asset limitation based on reasonable recovery under current accounting literature. Although the Company currently pays income taxes based on current marginal rates, the Bank has a portfolio of state and municipal securities which earn interest which is not taxed for federal income tax purposes. For that reason, the Bank may be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax ("AMT") provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The AMT provisions in general limit the benefit available from investing in tax free obligations, and require companies to pay the higher of taxes computed at 34% of income less the tax free income, or 20% of total income. Any amounts paid under the AMT are carried over and are available as a credit in future years. SECURITIES LAWS. - The Company and certain of its directors, officers and shareholders are subject to the Securities Act of 1934 and a broad range of both federal and state securities laws including, by way of example, the obligation to file annual, quarterly and other periodic reports with the appropriate authorities, soliciting proxies and conducting shareholders' meetings in accordance with the 1934 Act's proxy rules, and complying with the reporting and "short-swing" profit recovery provisions imposed by 1934 Act Section 16. MONETARY POLICIES. - Banking is a business which depends on interest rate differentials. In general, the differences between the interest paid by a bank on its deposits and other borrowings and the interest received by the bank on loans extended to its customers and securities held in its investment portfolio constitute the major portion of a bank's earnings. Consequently, the earnings growth of the Bank is influenced by economic conditions generally, both domestic and foreign, and also on the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve Board, which regulates the supply of money through various means, including open market transactions in United States government securities. The nature and timing of changes in such policies and their impact on the Bank cannot be predicted, although this instrument of monetary policy may cause volatile fluctuations in short term interest rates, and it can have a direct, adverse effect on the operating results of financial institutions generally. Consequently, Federal Reserve monetary policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. During the last several years, federal legislation and actions by various federal regulatory authorities have significantly increased the competition among commercial banks, savings and loan associations, savings bank, and other financial institutions through, among other things, the elimination of virtually all rate ceilings on interest-bearing deposits. ITEM 2: DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY Both the Bank's main branch and certain of the Company's executive and administrative offices are located in the Bank's headquarters building which it owns in downtown Baltimore, Maryland. The Bank owns buildings for three of its other branch office locations as well. The Bank leases space for the remaining eight branches, and for its operations center which primarily houses support functions. Current lease terms expire in 2000 through 2014 and contain renewal options ranging from 5 to 20 years. The Bank has purchased the furniture and fixtures required for its headquarters, operations center and branch network. The Bank has purchased the computer/teller equipment in its branch network and the equipment used for administrative functions. The Bank purchased new computer equipment used in the data processing department which supports its operations in early 1998. ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS There are no pending legal proceedings in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a defendant for claims or damages which exceed $50,000. ITEM 4: SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY-HOLDERS Not applicable. 11 PART II - ------------------- ITEM 5: MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS TRADING AND DIVIDENDS As of December 31, 1999, there were approximately 528 shareholders of record of the Company. Since May 1994, the Company's Common Stock has traded on the NASDAQ National Market Tier of The NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol "CRRB". Currently, there are two broker-dealers who make a market in the Common Stock. The table below sets forth the high and low sales price for each quarter in the last two years, and cash dividends paid per share, adjusted to reflect the effect of the 2 for 1 stock split declared in May, 1999 and a 5% stock dividend declared by the Company in January, 1998.

The following statistical information contained herein is presented to help the reader gain additional insight to information and discussion presented in the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and in Management's Discussion and Analysis. The ability of the Company to pay dividends in the future will be dependent on the earnings, if any, financial condition and business of the Company, as well as other relevant factors, such as regulatory requirements. No assurance can be given either that the Company's future earnings, if any, will be of sufficient level to enable it to pay dividends, or that if such earnings are sufficient, that the Company will not decide to retain such earnings for general working capital and other funding needs. In addition, the Company is highly dependent on dividends received from the Bank to enable it to pay dividends to shareholders. No assurance can be given that the Bank will continue to generate sufficient earnings to enable it to pay dividends to the Company, or that it will continue to meet regulatory capital requirements which, if not met, could prohibit payment of dividends to the Company.

Part of the earnings decrease was due to the difference between nonrecurring gains. In 1998 a nonrecurring gain amounted to $1,250,000, or $.44 per share, on an after tax basis. In 1999, a non-recurring gain on the sale of the merchant services unit amounted to a $823,000 or $.29 per share on an after tax basis. The loan portfolio grew 23% to $260,005,000 as a result of residential and commercial loan production. The loan portfolio growth contributed to a 9% increase in interest income over 1998. Non-interest income from fees continued its trend, increasing by 39% over 1998. In addition to fees generated by the ATM network of 164 machines, income from merchant services and national point of sale sponsorships grew significantly during 1999. Included in expense growth in 1999 were the variable cost components of fee income which grew in relation to fee growth. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income is the principal source of earnings for a banking company. It represents the difference between the interest income earned on loans and other investments, and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. For analysis, net interest income is measured on a fully taxable equivalent basis. To determine the taxable equivalent basis, an adjustment is made to income from investments in state and municipal securities which achieve a federal or state tax benefit, to dividends from equity stocks which achieve a dividend exclusion, and to certain loans which are tax exempt. In 1999, net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis increased by $594,000 over 1998 to $12.1 million as a result of increased volume in the loan portfolio and a reduction of the rates paid on deposit accounts. On average, the loan portfolio increased 17% over 1998 while the investment portfolio decreased by 7%. The yield on the loan portfolio decreased from 8.50% in 1998 to 8.01% in 1999. The average balance of mortgage loans increased by $37,624,900 from 1998 to 1999. The average yield on the mortgage loans in 1999 was 6.99%. Changes in loan portfolio mix and a very competitive loan market caused the loan yield to fall. The yield on investment securities also decreased to 6.60% in 1999 from 6.76% in 1998. The growth in the loan portfolio overshadowed the falling yields to cause total interest income on a tax equivalent basis to rise from $21.1 million in 1998 to $23.1 million in 1999. Interest expense increased $1.4 million to $11.0 million in 1999 from $9.6 million in 1998. Interest expense increased primarily due to increased borrowings, which increased on average by 82%. Interest expense on deposits increased in 1999 from 1998 due to higher deposit levels while the cost of interest-bearing deposits fell from 3.98% in 1998 to 3.88% in 1999. The cost of borrowed funds decreased due to changes in the composition of funding sources to 5.09% in 1999 from 5.22% in 1998. The table for Rate and Volume Variance Analysis included in this report shows the increase in interest expense resulted from increased volume of borrowings. The growth in interest-bearing liabilities supported loan portfolio growth. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses was $597,840 for 1999 compared to $615,000 for 1998. Non accrual, restructured, and delinquent loans over 90 days to total loans decreased to .41% at the end of 1999 compared to 1.02% in 1998. This decline was from decreased delinquencies. As of December 31, 1998, there were commercial loans to one borrower totaling approximately $1,272,000 that were over 90 days past due which were paid off during the first quarter of 1999. During 1998 the Company charged-off two commercial loans totaling approximately $328,000. The amount of the charge-off was significant for the Company. The ratio of loan losses to average loans also decreased in 1999 to .07% compared to .28% for 1998. This decrease was attributable to a reduction in commercial loan losses recognized. On a monthly basis, management reviews all loan portfolios to determine trends and monitor asset quality. For consumer loan portfolios, this review generally consists of reviewing delinquency levels on an aggregate basis with timely follow-up on accounts that become delinquent. In commercial loan portfolios, delinquency information is monitored and periodic reviews of business and property leasing operations are performed on an individual loan basis to determine potential collection and repayment problems. NON-INTEREST INCOME For 1999, non-interest income excluding securities gains, gains on the sale of a business unit, and gains on loan sales increased by 28% over 1998. Brokerage commissions increased $92,000 or 10% in 1999 due to the continued strong stock market. Other fees and commissions increased $1.8 million principally as a result of increased merchant services income, POS fees, and ATM fees. Merchant services income rose due to an increase in the number of merchants receiving credit card deposit services. ATM fee income growth came about from an increase in the convenience fee in August, 1998 and by additional machines placed in service. During the third quarter of 1999, the Company sold the contracts to process merchant credit card transactions for business customers, and a small amount of related equipment, for a gain of $1,554,526. The merchant services unit was part of the Company's Electronic Banking segment that management felt was becoming less profitable due to competitive pressures in the business of offering merchant credit card discount services. Net securities gains in 1999 were $240,000 compared to $2,404,000 in 1998. The gains in 1998 included $2,036,000 on the sale of an equity position in a non-public company that operated as a regional switch for electronic banking transactions, such as ATM and point of sale transactions. The Company continued to sell loans generated by its mortgage unit, as well as other loans held in its portfolio. These transactions generated gains of 21 $250,000 in 1999 compared to $449,000 in 1998. At December 31, 1999, the Company serviced loans for others totaling $11,658,098. NON-INTEREST EXPENSES In 1999, non-interest expenses increased by $2.0 million or 13%. Salaries and benefits increased by $438,000, or 7% due to loan officer additions and merit increases. In certain areas of the Company, staff reductions occurred through attrition and the positions were eliminated. Full time equivalent staff decreased from 161 positions at the end of 1998 to 155 positions at December 31, 1999. Occupancy expenses decreased $55,000 to $1,590,000 in 1999. Furniture and equipment expense increased primarily due to the depreciation of ATM machines purchased plus the related maintenance contracts expense. Other operating expenses increased $1.4 million, or 22%. A significant portion of this increase relates to increased volumes of fee generating activities, in particular merchant services and ATM transactions. Other expenses also increased during 1999 related to the Company's growth, such as data processing, telephone and carrier services. INCOME TAX PROVISION For 1999, the effective tax rate for the Company decreased to 24% compared to 27% for 1998. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in taxable income associated with the gains on the non-recurring items. During 1999 and 1998, the Company increased the benefit from tax exempt income by increasing its investment in municipal bonds. In addition, the Maryland tax laws for banks were revised in 1996 to provide an exemption from state tax on the income earned on certain qualifying investments, which was 100% effective for 1999 and 1998 compared to 75% effective for 1997. FINANCIAL CONDITION SUMMARY Total assets of the Company increased by 18% to $375.6 million at December 31, 1999 versus $317.9 million at the end of 1998. Investment securities increased to $75.8 million at December 31, 1999. Total loans at December 31, 1999 grew 23% to $260.0 million compared to $210.8 million at the end of 1998. Interest earning assets increased to $340.0 million and were 90.5% of total assets at December 31, 1999. INVESTMENT SECURITIES Securities increased to $75.8 million at December 31, 1999 from $65.1 million at December 31, 1998. The portfolio consists primarily of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, and state and municipal obligations. The income from state and municipal obligations is exempt from federal income tax. Certain agency securities are exempt from state income taxes. The Company uses its investment portfolio as a source of both liquidity and earnings. The Company liquidated $14.5 million of available for sale securities during the fourth quarter of 1999. These transactions were principally undertaken to increase liquidity and reduce interest rate risk. The company transferred securities from the held to maturity classification to the available for sale classification on its balance sheet as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 in the fourth quarter of 1999. The amount of the assets reclassified as available for sale was $6,657,271. LOANS Total loans increased $49 million or 23% from 1998 to $260.0 million at December 31, 1999. Loan growth was primarily in commercial real estate lending, equity loans and lines of credit with other consumer products declining during the year. Both the residential mortgage and equity loan units are principally wholesale operations. Commercial loans equaled 29% of total loans at the end of the year and amounted to $76 million. Consumer loans amounted to $184 million and were 71% of total loans. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES At December 31, 1999, the allowance for loan losses was $2.8 million, a 19% increase from the end of 1998. At December 31, 1999, the ratio of the allowance to total loans was 1.09% compared to 1.13% at December 31, 1998. This ratio fell as a result of portfolio growth. The ratio of net loan losses to average loans outstanding for 1999 was .07% compared to .28% for 1998. The ratio of non-accrual loans, restructured loans, and loans delinquent more than 90 days to total loans decreased to .41% at December 31, 1999 from 1.02% at the end of 1998. The ratio of real estate secured loans to total loans increased to 85% at the end of 1999 from 82% at the end of 1998. An allowance for loan losses is maintained sufficient to absorb losses in the existing loan portfolio. The allowance is a function of specific loan allowances, general loan allowances based on historical loan loss experience and current trends, and allowances based on general economic conditions that affect the collectibility of the loan portfolio. These can include, but are not limited to exposure to an industry experiencing problems, changes in the nature or volume of the portfolio and delinquency and nonaccrual trends. The portfolio review and calculation of the allowance is performed by management on a continuing basis. All loan reserves are subject to regulatory examinations and determination as to the appropriateness of the methodology and adequacy on an annual basis. The specific allowance is based on regular analysis of the loan portfolio and is determined by analysis of collateral value, cash flow and guarantor capacity, as applicable. The specific allowance was $721,717 and $1,599,037 as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The general allowance is calculated using internal loan grading results and appropriate allowance factors on approximately 10 classes of loans. This process is reviewed on a regular basis. The allowance factors may be revised whenever necessary to address current credit quality trends or risks associated with particular loan types. Historic trend analysis is utilized to obtain the factors to be applied. The general allowance was $976,158 and $728,024 as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Allocation of a portion of the allowance does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories. An unallocated reserve is maintained to recognize the imprecision in estimating and measuring loss when evaluating the allowance for individual loans or pools of loans. The unallocated portion of allowance was significantly higher at December 31, 1999, than it was at December 31, 1998. This was due to the drop in the ratio of non-accrual loans, restructured loans, and loans delinquent more than 90 days from December 31, 1998 to December 31, 1999. As that ratio decreased, the unallocated portion of the allowance increased. At December 31, 1998, the Bank had commercial loans to one borrower with a balance of approximately $1,272,000 that were over 90 days past due. Those loans were paid-off by the borrower in the quarter ended March 31, 1999. During the years ended December 31, 1995 through 1999, the unallocated portion of the allowance for loan losses has fluctuated with the specific and general allowances so that the total allowance for loan losses would be at a level that management believes is the best estimate of credit losses incurred at the balance sheet date. The specific allowance may fluctuate from period to period if the balance of what management considers problem loans changes. The general allowance will fluctuate with changes in the mix of the Company's loan portfolio, economic conditions, or specific industry conditions. The requirements of the Company's federal regulators, or infrequent situations such as potential effects of the Year 2000 conversion on its borrowers, are considerations in determining the required total allowance. The increase in loan charge-offs in 1998 compared to 1997 and 1999, was due to two commercial loans that the Company charged-off in 1998 totaling approximately $328,000. Management believes that it has adequately assessed the risk of loss in the loan portfolios based on a subjective evaluation and has provided an allowance which is appropriate based on that assessment. Because the allowance is an estimate based on current conditions, any change in the economic conditions of the Company's market area or change within a borrower's business could result in a revised evaluation which could alter the Company's earnings. FUNDING SOURCES Total deposits at December 31, 1999 increased by $25.5 million to $262.4 million from the end of 1998. The increase in short term borrowings of approximately $33.2 million were a large source of funding for the $49 million increase in total loans and $10.7 million increase in investment securities. For the year-ended December 31, 1999, the average yield on the short-term borrowings was 5.09% while the tax-equivalent yields on loans and investment securities were 8.01% and 6.60% respectively. Interest-bearing accounts increased by $21.3 million and non-interest bearing deposits increased by $4.1 million. Deposit growth is attributed primarily to new account relationships resulting from the opening of a new branch in a 22 new market area, and implementation of a retail division sales force. Other borrowings increased significantly in 1999 to fund loan and investment growth. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased to $66 million at the end of 1999 compared to $35 million at the end of 1998. Borrowings for federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and notes payable to the US Treasury increased by $2.2 million from December 31, 1998 to 1999. CAPITAL At December 31, 1999, shareholders' equity was $29.9 million, a decrease of $1.0 million from 1998. The decrease in stockholders' equity was largely due to the fair market value adjustment of the investment portfolio as required by Statement No. 115 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The Company paid shareholders dividends totaling $864,393, and net income for 1999 was $2.8 million. In addition, the Company purchased and retired common stock for $.9 million in 1999. The company declared a 2 for 1 stock split in 1999 and restructured the par value of the stock from $10 to $1. Stockholders' equity amounted to 7.96% of total assets at December 31, 1999 compared to 9.71% at the end of 1998. The decrease in this ratio was caused by asset growth and a negative change in the unrealized holding gains (losses) on available for sale securities, but remains at a very strong level. Bank holding companies and banks are required by the Federal Reserve and FDIC to maintain minimum levels of Tier 1 (or Core) and Tier 2 capital measured as a percentage of assets on a risk-weighted basis. Capital is primarily represented by shareholders' equity, adjusted for the allowance for loan losses and certain issues of preferred stock, convertible securities, and subordinated debt, depending on the capital level being measured. Assets and certain off-balance sheet transactions are assigned to one of five different risk-weighting factors for purposes of determining the risk-adjusted asset base. The minimum levels of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital to risk-adjusted assets are 4% and 8%, respectively, under the regulations. In addition, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC require that bank holding companies and banks maintain a minimum level of Tier 1 (or Core) capital to average total assets excluding intangibles for the current quarter. This measure is known as the leverage ratio. The current regulatory minimum for the leverage ratio for institutions to be considered adequately capitalized is 4%, but could be required to be maintained at a higher level based on the regulator's assessment of an institution's risk profile. The following chart shows the regulatory capital levels for the Company and Bank at December 31, 1999 and 1998. The Company's subsidiary bank also exceeded the FDIC required minimum capital levels at those dates by a substantial margin. Based on the levels of capital, the Company and the bank are well capitalized. AT DECEMBER 31 CARROLlTON CARROLlTON BANCORP BANK Ratio Minimum 1999 1998 1999 1998 - ----- -------- ---- ---- ---- ---- Leverage Ratio 4% 7.3% 9.4% 7.0% 8.1% Risk-based Capital: Tier 1 (Core) 4% 11.0% 15.0% 10.6% 13.3% Tier 2 (Total) 8% 12.4% 16.8% 11.7% 14.6% LIQUIDITY Liquidity management ensures that funds are available when required to meet deposit withdrawals, loan commitments, and operating expenses. These funds are supplied by deposits, loan repayments, security maturities and can be raised by liquidating assets or through additional borrowings. Securities classified as available for sale can be liquidated or pledged to secure borrowed funds to provide necessary liquidity. In addition, the Company has unsecured lines of credit outstanding under which it could borrow $4 million, secured lines of $20 million, and has borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of $90 million which is collateralized by a blanket security interest in the Company's residential first mortgage loans. At December 31, 1999, the Company had outstanding loan commitments and unused lines of credit totaling $92.2 million. Of this total, management places a high probability for funding within 1 year on approximately $23.0 million. The remaining amount is mainly unused home equity lines of credit on which management places a low probability for required funding. INTEREST RATE RISK The level of income of a financial institution can be affected by the repricing characteristics of its assets and liabilities due to changes in interest rates. This is referred to as interest rate risk. Financial institutions allocate significant time and resources to managing interest rate risk because of the impact that interest rate changes can have on the net interest margin and earnings. Management continues to seek reasonable ways to reduce its exposure to interest rate shifts. A static gap analysis is used by the Company as one tool to monitor interest rate risk. A static gap analysis measures the difference, or the "gap", between the amount of assets and liabilities repricing within a given time period. The Company also performs rate shock analyses which estimate changes in the net interest margin for parallel rising and falling interest rate environments. Management also calculates and monitors other ratios on a monthly basis that provide additional information relating to certain aspects of asset/liability management. This information, together with information about 23 forecasted future interest rate trends, is used to manage the Company's asset and liability positions. Management uses this information as a factor in decisions made about maturities for investment of cash flows, classification of investment securities purchases as available for sale or held to maturity, emphasis of variable rate or fixed rate loans and short or longer term deposit products in marketing campaigns, and deposit account pricing to alter asset and liability repricing characteristics. At December 31, 1999, the Company was in a liability sensitive position amounting to 7.1% of assets within a one year time horizon. This is within the targets as established by the Asset/ Liability Management Policy approved by the Board of Directors. Although the Company was at a negative asset/liability position at December 31, 1999, the Company can experience significant volatility in its asset/ liability position by virtue of its funding of longer term mortgage loans with relatively short repricing borrowings while it works to sell the loans. Management continues to work to structure borrowing terms that more closely match asset repricing characteristics, keeping in mind the overall balance sheet strategy of the Company. Theoretically, a liability sensitive position is preferable in a falling interest rate climate since more liabilities will reprice downward as interest rates fall than will assets, and an asset sensitive position is preferable in a rising rate environment. The following chart shows the static gap position for interest sensitive assets and liabilities of the Company as of December 31, 1999. The chart is as of a point in time, and reflects only the contractual terms of the loan or deposit accounts in assigning assets and liabilities to the various repricing periods except that deposit accounts with no contractual maturity, such as money market, NOW and savings accounts, have been adjusted based on account age. All accounts open less than two years are reflected in the one year time horizon in the gap table. Accounts that have been open between two and five years are reflected in the 1 to 2 year time horizon in the table. Accounts open over five years are reflected in the 2 to 5 year horizon. In addition, the maturities of investments shown in the gap table will differ from contractual maturities due to anticipated calls of certain securities based on current interest rates. While this chart indicates the opportunity to reprice assets and liabilities within certain time frames, it does not reflect the fact that interest rate changes occur in disproportionate increments for various assets and liabilities.

Statement No. 132, EMPLOYERS' DISCLOSURES ABOUT PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS--AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENTS NO. 87, 88 AND 106, is effective for the accompanying financial statements, and the Company has complied with the provisions of this statements where applicable. Statement No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES, and Statement No. 134, ACCOUNTING FOR MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES RETAINED AFTER THE SECURITIZATION OF MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE BY A MORTGAGE BANKING ENTERPRISE, become effective for fiscal quarters beginning after June 15, 1999 and December 15, 1998, respectively. Statement No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position, and measure those instruments at fair value and provides for a one time reclassification of assets which the bank 24 elected in the fourth quarter of 1999. Statement No. 134 amends Statements No. 65 and 115 regarding accounting for mortgage backed securities. Statement No. 135, RESCISSION OF FASB STATEMENT NO 75 AND TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS, is effective for fiscal years beginning after February 15, 1999, and rescinds FASB Statement No. 75.

THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE Carrollton Bancorp is pleased to report to our shareholders and depositors that due to our efforts to prepare for the operational challenges associated with the millennium change, we experienced no issues that affected the way we manage the bank or service our customers. EARNINGS 1998 AS COMPARED TO 1997 SUMMARY Carrollton Bancorp reported net income for 1998 of $2,974,000, or $2.07 per share, representing a 39% increase over 1997 net income of $2,139,000, or $1.46 per share. Part of the earnings increase resulted from a nonrecurring, one-time gain on an equity position that was sold in the third quarter of 1998. This nonrecurring gain amounted to $1,250,000, or $.87 per share, on an after tax basis. The loan portfolio grew 23% to $210,800,000 as a result of residential mortgage production. The loan portfolio growth resulted in a 4% increase in interest income over 1997. Non-interest income from fees continued its trend, increasing by 28% over 1997. In addition to fees generated by the ATM network of 120 machines, income from merchant services and national point of sale sponsorships grew significantly during 1998. Included in expense growth in 1998 were the variable cost components of fee income which grew in relation to fee growth. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income is the principal source of earnings for a banking company. It represents the difference between the interest income earned on loans and other investments, and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. For analysis, net interest income is measured on a fully taxable equivalent basis. To determine the taxable equivalent basis, an adjustment is made to income from investments in state and municipal securities which achieve a federal or state tax benefit, to dividends from equity stocks which achieve a dividend exclusion, and to certain loans which are tax exempt. In 1998, net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis increased by $247,000 over 1997 to $11.5 million as a result of increased volume in the loan portfolio and a reduction of the rates paid on deposit accounts. On average, the loan portfolio increased 20% over 1997 while the investment portfolio decreased by 20%. The yield on the loan portfolio decreased from 8.84% in 1997 to 8.50% in 1998. The prime rate decreases in late 1998 and a very competitive loan market caused the loan yield to fall. The yield on investment securities also decreased to 6.76% in 1998 from 6.85% in 1997. The securities portfolio yield declined as a result of general declines in market rates from 1997. The growth in the loan portfolio overshadowed the falling yields to cause total interest income on a tax equivalent basis to rise from $20.3 million in 1997 to $21.1 million in 1998. Interest expense increased $0.6 million to $9.6 million in 1998 from $9.0 million in 1997. Interest expense increased primarily due to increased borrowings, which increased on average by 98%. Interest expense on deposits decreased from 1997 to 1998 as the cost of interest-bearing deposits fell from 4.09% in 1997 to 3.98% in 1998. The cost of borrowed funds was about the same at 5.22% in 1998 and 5.23% in 1997. The table for Rate and Volume Variance Analysis shows the increase in interest expense resulted from increased volume of borrowings. The growth in interest-bearing liabilities supported loan portfolio growth. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses was $615,000 for 1998 compared to $240,000 for 1997. Non accrual, restructured, and delinquent loans over 90 days to total loans increased to 1.02% at the end of 1998 compared to .61% in 1997. This rise was from increased delinquencies and non-accrual loans. As of December 31, 1998, there were commercial loans to one borrower totaling $1,272,000 that were over 90 days past due that were not delinquent as of December 31, 1997. During 1998 the Company charged-off two commercial loans totaling approximately $328,000. The ratio of loan losses to average loans also increased in 1998 to .28% compared to .11% for 1997. This increase was attributable to various commercial loan losses recognized. On a monthly basis, management reviews all loan portfolios to determine trends and monitor asset quality. For consumer loan portfolios, this review generally consists of reviewing delinquency levels on an aggregate basis with timely follow-up on accounts that become delinquent. In commercial loan portfolios, delinquency information is monitored and periodic reviews of business and property leasing operations are performed on an individual loan basis to determine potential collection and repayment problems. NON-INTEREST INCOME For 1998, non-interest income excluding securities gains and gains on loan sales increased by 28% over 1997. Brokerage commissions increased $57,000 or 7% in 1998 due to the continued strong stock market. Other fees and commissions increased $1.5 million principally as a result of increased merchant services income and ATM fees. Merchant services income rose due to an increase in the number of merchants receiving credit card deposit services. ATM fee income growth came about from an increase in the convenience fee and by additional machines placed in service. 25 Net securities gains in 1998 were $2,404,000 compared to $175,000 in 1997. The gains in 1998 included $2,036,000 on the sale of an equity position in a non-public company that operated as a regional switch for electronic banking transactions, such as ATM and point of sale transactions. Other equity gains from the restructuring of an equity portfolio by an outside manager amounted to $273,000. The remaining net gains of $95,000 were generated on sales of debt securities with a book value of $9.4 million. The debt security sales were undertaken to move into issues that are state tax exempt in Maryland. The Company also began in this year to sell loans generated by its mortgage unit, as well as other loans held in its portfolio. These transactions generated gains of $448,000 on principal balances sold of $24,377,000. At December 31, 1998, the Company serviced loans totaling $5,379,000. NON-INTEREST EXPENSES In 1998, non-interest expenses increased by $2.7 million or 20%. Salaries and benefits increased by $692,000, or 12% due to staff additions and merit increases. Full time equivalent staff increased from 157 positions at the end of 1997 to 161 positions at December 31, 1998. Most of this increase is attributable to the branch opened in the White Marsh area in February, 1998. In certain areas of the Company, staff reductions occurred through attrition and the positions were eliminated. Occupancy expenses increased $78,000 over 1997 due to rents incurred for the new branch, and expenses related to the headquarters office building purchased and occupied in late 1997. These expenses were offset by a reduction in expenses from 1997 for the write-off of leasehold improvements in a branch that was required to be relocated. Furniture and equipment expense increased for depreciation on the imaging equipment and ATM machines purchased in late 1997 and early 1998, plus the related maintenance contracts expense. Other operating expenses increased $1.6 million, or 32%. Approximately half of this increase relates to increased volumes of fee generating activities, in particular merchant services and ATM transactions. As fee income grows in those areas, related expenses will grow, but the Company earns a spread. Many other expenses also increased during 1998 related to the Company's growth, such as data processing, marketing, carrier services, telephone and postage. INCOME TAX PROVISION For 1998, the effective tax rate for the Company increased to 27% as compared to 24% for 1997. This increase was primarily due to an increase in income before taxes. During 1998, the Company increased the benefit from tax exempt income by increasing its investment in municipal bonds. In addition, the Maryland tax laws for banks were revised in 1996 to provide an exemption from state tax on the income earned on certain qualifying investments, which was 100% effective for 1998 compared to 75% effective for 1997. However, the increased benefit from investment income was not sufficient to offset the increase in taxes due to a higher pre-tax income amount. FINANCIAL CONDITION SUMMARY Total assets of the Company increased by 10% to $317.9 million at December 31, 1998 versus $287.9 million at the end of 1997. Investment securities declined to $65.1 million at December 31, 1998. Total loans at December 31, 1998 grew 23% to $210.8 million as compared to $170.8 million at the end of 1997. Interest earning assets increased to $274.0 million and were 86.2% of total assets at December 31, 1998. INVESTMENT SECURITIES Securities decreased from $83.6 million at December 31, 1997 to $65.1 million at December 31, 1998. The portfolio consists mainly of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, and state and municipal obligations. The income from state and municipal obligations is exempt from federal income tax. Certain agency securities are exempt from state income taxes. The Company uses its investment portfolio as a source of both liquidity and earnings. The Company liquidated $9.4 million of available for sale securities during 1998. These transactions were principally undertaken to increase yield or provide liquidity. The security which generated the significant gain on sale in the third quarter was classified as available for sale, but had no published market value and was therefore carried at cost. LOANS Total loans increased $40 million or 23% from 1997 to $210.8 million at December 31, 1998. Approximately 82% of the growth came from residential loan production by the mortgage unit, which was added in late 1997. The remaining growth was in equity loans and lines of credit with other consumer products declining during the year. Both the residential mortgage and equity loan units are principally wholesale operations. The commercial lines of business declined in the aggregate by 1%. Commercial loans equaled 29% of total loans at the end of the year and amounted to $62 million. Consumer loans amounted to $149 million and were 71% of total loans. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES At December 31, 1998, the allowance for loan losses was $2.4 million, a slight increase from the end of 1997. At December 31, 1998, the ratio of the allowance to total loans was 1.13% as compared to 1.35% at December 31, 1997. This ratio fell as a result of portfolio growth. The ratio of net loan losses to average loans outstanding for 1998 was .28% as compared to .11% for 1997. The ratio of 26 non-accrual loans, restructured loans, plus loans delinquent more than 90 days to total loans increased to 1.02% at December 31, 1998 from .45% at the end of 1997. The ratio of real estate secured loans to total loans increased to 82% at the end of 1998 from 78% at the end of 1997. Management believes that it has adequately assessed the risk of loss in the loan portfolios based on a subjective evaluation and has provided an allowance which is appropriate based on that assessment. Because the allowance is an estimate based on current conditions, any change in the economic conditions of the Company's market area or change within a borrower's business could result in a revised evaluation which could alter the Company's earnings. FUNDING SOURCES Total deposits at December 31, 1998 increased by $2.6 million to $237.0 million from the end of 1997. Interest-bearing accounts decreased by $1.9 million and non-interest bearing deposits increased by $4.4 million. Deposit growth is attributed primarily to new account relationships resulting from the opening of a new branch in a new market area, and implementation of a retail division sales force. Other borrowings increased significantly in 1998 to fund loan growth. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased to $35 million at the end of 1998 compared to $9 million at the end of 1997, and this increase principally funded residential mortgage loan growth. Borrowings for federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased by $1.8 million at December 31, 1998. CAPITAL At December 31, 1998, shareholders' equity was $30.9 million, an increase of $1.1 million over 1997. The Company paid shareholders dividends totaling $822,000, and net income for 1998 was $3.0 million. In addition, the Company purchased and retired common stock for $1.0 million in 1998. Stockholders' equity amounted to 9.71% of total assets at December 31, 1998 as compared to 10.35% at the end of 1997. The decrease in this ratio was caused by asset growth in the balance sheet, but is still at a very strong level. Bank holding companies and banks are required by the Federal Reserve and FDIC to maintain minimum levels of Tier 1 (or Core) and Tier 2 capital measured as a percentage of assets on a risk-weighted basis. Capital is primarily represented by stockholders' equity, adjusted for the allowance for loan losses and certain issues of preferred stock, convertible securities, and subordinated debt, depending on the capital level being measured. Assets and certain off-balance sheet transactions are assigned to one of five different risk-weighting factors for purposes of determining the risk-adjusted asset base. The minimum levels of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital to risk-adjusted assets are 4% and 8%, respectively, under the regulations. In addition, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC require that bank holding companies and banks maintain a minimum level of Tier 1 (or Core) capital to average total assets excluding intangibles for the current quarter. This measure is known as the leverage ratio. The current regulatory minimum for the leverage ratio for institutions to be considered adequately capitalized is 4%, but could be required to be maintained at a higher level based on the regulator's assessment of an institution's risk profile. The following chart shows the regulatory capital levels for the Company at December 31, 1998 and 1997. The Company's subsidiary bank also exceeded the FDIC required minimum capital levels at those dates by a substantial margin. Based on the levels of capital, the Company and the bank are well capitalized. Carrollton Carrollton Bancorp Bank Ratio Minimum 1998 1997 1998 1997 - -------------- ------- ---- ---- ---- ---- Leverage Ratio % 4 % 9.4 % 9.4 % 8.1 % 8.4 Risk-based Capital: Tier 1 (Core) 4% 15.0% 15.9% 13.3% 14.2% Tier 2 (Total) 8% 16.8% 17.1% 14.6% 15.5% LIQUIDITY Liquidity management ensures that funds are available when required to meet deposit withdrawals, loan commitments, and operating expenses. These funds are supplied by deposits, loan repayments, security maturities and can be raised by liquidating assets or through additional borrowings. Securities classified as available for sale can be liquidated or pledged to secure borrowed funds to provide necessary liquidity. In addition, the Company has unsecured lines of credit outstanding under which it could borrow $7 million, secured lines of $6 million, and has borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of $45 million which is collateralized by a blanket security interest in the Company's residential first mortgage loans. At December 31, 1998, the Company had outstanding loan commitments and unused lines of credit totaling $85.9 million. Of this total, management places a high probability for funding within 1 year on approximately $21.4 million. The remaining amount is mainly unused home equity lines of credit and credit card lines on which management places a low probability for required funding. INTEREST RATE RISK The level of income of a financial institution can be affected by the repricing characteristics of its assets and liabilities due to changes in interest rates. 27 This is referred to as interest rate risk. Financial institutions allocate significant time and resources to managing interest rate risk because of the impact that interest rate changes can have on the net interest margin and earnings. Management continues to seek reasonable ways to reduce its exposure to interest rate shifts. A static gap analysis is used by the Company as one tool to monitor interest rate risk. A static gap analysis measures the difference, or the "gap", between the amount of assets and liabilities repricing within a given time period. The Company also performs rate shock analyses which estimate changes in the net interest margin for parallel rising and falling interest rate environments. Management also calculates and monitors other ratios on a monthly basis that provide additional information relating to certain aspects of asset/liability management. This information, together with information about forecasted future interest rate trends, is used to manage the Company's asset and liability positions. Management uses this information as a factor in decisions made about maturities for investment of cash flows, classification of investment securities purchases as available for sale or held to maturity, emphasis of variable rate or fixed rate loans and short or longer term deposit products in marketing campaigns, and deposit account pricing to alter asset and liability repricing characteristics. At December 31, 1998, the Company was in a slightly liability sensitive position amounting to 1.8% of assets within a one year time horizon. This is within the targets as established by the Asset/Liability Management Policy approved by the Board of Directors. Although the Company was at a slightly negative asset/liability position at December 31, 1998, the Company can experience significant volatility in its asset/ liability position by virtue of its funding of longer term mortgage loans with relatively short repricing borrowings while it works to sell the loans. Management works to structure borrowing terms that more closely match asset repricing characteristics, keeping in mind the overall balance sheet strategy of the Company. Theoretically, a liability sensitive position is preferable in a falling interest rate climate since more liabilities will reprice downward as interest rates fall than will assets, and an asset sensitive position is preferable in a rising rate environment. The following chart shows the static gap position for interest sensitive assets and liabilities of the Company as of December 31, 1998. The chart is as of a point in time, and reflects only the contractual terms of the loan or deposit accounts in assigning assets and liabilities to the various repricing periods except that deposit accounts with no contractual maturity, such as money market, NOW and savings accounts, have been adjusted based on account age. All accounts open less than two years are reflected in the one year time horizon in the gap table. Accounts that have been open between two and five years are reflected in the 1 to 2 year time horizon in the table. Accounts open over five years are reflected in the 2 to 5 year horizon. In addition, the maturities of investments shown in the gap table will differ from contractual maturities due to anticipated calls of certain securities based on current interest rates. While this chart indicates the opportunity to reprice assets and liabilities within certain time frames, it does not reflect the fact that interest rate changes occur in disproportionate increments for various assets and liabilities.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Carrollton Bancorp (the Company) and its subsidiary Carrollton Bank (the Bank). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Parent Only financial statements of the Company account for the Bank using the equity method of accounting. CASH EQUIVALENTS - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods. INVESTMENT SECURITIES - Investment securities in the portfolio are classified as either available for sale or held to maturity. The Company does not currently conduct short term purchase and sale transactions of investment securities which would be classified as trading securities. The Company classifies investments as available for sale based principally on the Company's asset/liability position and potential liquidity needs. These securities are available for sale in response to changes in market interest rates or in the event the Company needs funds to meet loan demand or deposit withdrawals. Securities classified as available for sale are carried at market value. The unrealized holding gain or loss, net of taxes, related to securities classified as available for sale is reflected as a component of shareholders' equity. Gains or losses on securities sales are determined by the specific-identification method. The remaining securities in the investment portfolio are classified as held to maturity. These securities are carried at amortized cost. The Company has the ability and the intent to hold these securities to maturity. LOANS HELD FOR SALE - Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. Market value is determined based on outstanding investor commitments or, in the absence of such commitments, based on current investor yield requirements. Gains and losses on loan sales are determined using the specific-identification method. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES - Loans are stated at face value, plus deferred origination costs, less unearned discount, deferred origination fees, and the allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is credited to income based on the principal amounts outstanding. Origination fees and costs are deferred and amortized to income over the estimated terms of the loans. Accrual of interest is discontinued generally when the collection of principal or interest reaches 90 days past due, or earlier if collection becomes uncertain based upon the financial weakness of the borrower or the realizable value of the collateral. Management may grant a waiver from nonaccrual status for a 90 day past due loan that is well secured or in the process of collection. Nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual status when all past due principal and interest has been collected, and the remainder of the loan is judged to be fully collectible. Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information, management considers it unlikely that the collection of principal and interest payments will be made according to contractual terms. Generally, loans are not reviewed for impairment until the accrual of interest has been discontinued. If collection of principal is evaluated as doubtful, all payments are applied to principal. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" (SFAS No. 114), the Company measures impaired loans (1) at the observable market price; (2) at the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate; or (3) at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, an impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance and corresponding provision for credit losses. The allowance for loan losses represents an estimate which, in management's judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans and other extensions of credit that may become uncollectible. Management's judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans. These evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay, overall portfolio quality, and review of specific problem areas. Actual loan performance may differ from estimates used by management. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT - Premises and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed over the estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Accumulated depreciation includes a provision for a decline in the value of land recorded in prior years. INTANGIBLE ASSETS - Intangible assets are predominantly the premium paid for deposits acquired. The premium is being amortized to expense on the straight line basis over 15 years. The Company capitalizes the value of loan servicing retained on loan sales, and amortizes the value over the estimated life of the portfolio of loans serviced. The amortization period is adjusted quarterly for changes in the prepayment speed of the loans serviced. Intangible assets are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 34 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) INCOME TAXES - The provision for income taxes includes taxes payable for the current year and deferred income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets may also include tax credit carryovers that the Company expects to offset against future tax obligations. PER SHARE DATA - Basic net income per common share and dividends per common share are determined by dividing net income and dividends by the average shares of common stock outstanding giving retroactive effect to any stock dividends and splits declared. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting average shares of common stock outstanding by the potentially dilutive effects of stock options outstanding. The dilutive effects of stock options are computed by using the "treasury stock" method. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME - The Company adopted Statement No. 130 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, in 1998. Comprehensive income includes net income and the unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities available for sale, net of income taxes. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS - The Company uses the intrinsic value method to account for stock-based employee compensation plans. Under this method, compensation cost is recognized for awards of shares of common stock to employees only if the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date (or other measurement date, if later) is greater than the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock. Information concerning the pro forma effects of using an optional fair value-based method to account for stock-based employee compensation plans is provided in note 12. 2. RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS Banks are required to carry cash reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank or maintain cash on hand of specified percentages of deposit balances. The Bank's normal amount of cash on hand, which averaged $16.1 and $14.8 million during 1999 and 1998 respectively, is sufficient to satisfy the reserve requirements. In order to cover the costs of services provided by correspondent banks, the Company maintains compensating balance arrangements at these correspondent banks, or pays fees in the event the credit earned on balances is not sufficient to cover activity charges. During 1999 and 1998, the Company maintained average compensating balances of approximately $1,000,000 and $1,369,000, respectively, of which $1,000,000 in each year was maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank. In addition, the Company paid $63,667, $31,144, and $18,298 respectively, in account charges in 1999, 1998 and 1997. 3.

Income taxes on net security gains were $92,560, $928,556, and $67,731 in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. The company transferred securities from held to maturity classification to available for sale on its balance sheet as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 in the fourth quarter of 1999. The amount of the assets reclassified as available for sale was $6,657,271. 36 4.

The amount of interest income that would have been recorded in 1999, 1998 and 1997 on non-accrual loans if those loans had been handled in accordance with their contractual terms totaled $12,880, $29,395 and $10,339 respectively. The amount of interest income actually recorded on non-accrual loans totaled $5,549, $16,841 and $6,880 for 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. At December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company had one impaired loan to the same borrower amounting to $330,987, $408,565 and $408,565 respectively that were classified as impaired because they had been restructured to accept interest only payments for a period of time. The average balance of impaired loans amounted to $369,776, $408,565, and $412,915 in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. The Company has not provided for a specific allowance for impaired loans. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company received total payments on impaired loans of $100,837, $7,612, and $53,947, respectively. Of these amounts, $23,259, $7,612, and $49,698 were recorded as interest income for 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The remainder was applied to reduce principal. This loan is the Company's only restructured loan. There is not a specific allowance for this loan since the fair value of the collateral securing the loan is considered adequate to cover all principal and interest due. The Company also continues to accrue interest on this loan due to the adequacy of the collateral value. 37 4. LOANS (CONTINUED) Amounts past due 90 days or more, excluding nonaccrual loans are as follows: 1999 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- Mortgage $ 306,394 $ 1,293,078 $ 263,059 Demand and time 530,804 232,167 - Installment and credit card - 11,557 5,872 ----------- ----------- ----------- $ 837,198 $ 1,536,802 $ 268,931 =========== =========== =========== The Company continues to accrue interest on these loans since either the fair value of the collateral is considered adequate to assure collection of all principal and interest amounts due or the loan is in the process of collection. 5. CREDIT COMMITMENTS Outstanding loan commitments, unused lines and letters of credit were as follows: 1999 1998 ---- ---- LOAN COMMITMENTS Mortgage loans $17,367,687 $16,589,977 Construction and land development - 2,375,000 Commercial loans 1,390,000 300,000 Installment loans 10,100 43,186 ----------- ----------- $18,767,787 $19,308,163 =========== =========== UNUSED LINES OF CREDIT Home equity lines $60,306,310 $49,051,584 Commercial lines 13,102,535 13,753,319 Unsecured consumer lines - 2,259,443 ----------- ----------- $73,408,845 $65,064,346 =========== =========== LETTERS OF CREDIT $ 1,488,000 $ 1,487,000 =========== =========== Loan commitments and lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition to the contract. Loan commitments generally have interest rates fixed at current market amounts, fixed expiration dates, and may require payment of a fee. Lines of credit generally have variable interest rates. Such lines do not represent future cash requirements because it is unlikely that all customers will draw upon their lines in full at any time. Letters of credit are commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower is the contract amount of the commitment. Loan commitments, lines and letters of credit are made on the same terms, including collateral, as outstanding loans. The Company is not aware of any accounting loss it would incur by funding the above commitments. 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company's executive officers and directors, or other entities to which they are related, enter into loan transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business. The terms of these transactions are similar to the terms provided to other borrowers entering into similar loan transactions and do not involve more than normal risk of collectibility.

At December 31, 1999, the Company has a commitment to purchase additional ATM machines amounting to $256,000. The Company increased the depreciable life of ATM machines in March, 1997 from five to ten years based on its actual experience.

The transactions with customers are overnight borrowing arrangements with interest rates discounted from the federal funds sold rate. Securities underlying the customer repurchase agreements are maintained in the Company's control. Additional information is as follows: 1999 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- Total outstanding at period end $13,650,176 $12,816,453 $11,024,441 Average amount outstanding during period 14,584,035 11,138,269 7,098,332 Maximum amount outstanding at any month end 18,912,001 15,425,304 11,024,441 Weighted average interest rate at period end 4.80% 4.07% 4.82% Weighted average interest rate for the period 4.42% 5.18% 4.56% Notes payable - U.S. Treasury are Federal Treasury Tax and Loan deposits accepted by the Bank from its customers to be remitted to the Federal Reserve Bank on a periodic basis. The Company pays interest on these deposits at a slight discount to the federal funds sold rate. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Atlanta amounted to $66,000,000 and $35,000,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Advances averaged $42,916,040 and $18,733,330 for 1999 and 1998, respectively, with weighted average costs of 5.34% for 1999 and 5.68% for 1998.

At December 31, 1998, the advances carried a weighted average interest rate of 5.25% and matured at various dates from September 2, 1999 through March 26, 2008. The Bank has a total secured line of $90 million with the FHLB for which the Bank granted the FHLB a blanket security interest in its residential first mortgage loans. As noted above, the Company borrows under available unsecured federal funds lines of credit of $4 million and secured lines of credit of $20 million with other institutions. The balance outstanding under these lines was $0 and $1,075,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. These lines bear interest at the then current federal funds rate of the correspondent bank. 11.

STOCK OPTIONS The Company adopted a stock option incentive plan in 1998, which provides for the granting of common stock options to directors and key employees. These stock option awards contain a serial feature whereby one third of the options granted vest and can be exercised after each year. Option prices are equal to the estimated fair market value of the common stock at the date of the grant. Options expire ten years after the date of grant if not exercised. Information with respect to options outstanding is as follows for the year ended December 31: 1999 1998 Shares Option Price Range Shares Option Price Range ----- ------------------ ------ ------------------ Outstanding at beginning of year 70,400 - Granted 59,400 $16.13 to $16.25 70,400 $17.54 to $19.00 Exercised - - Expired/Canceled 25,200 - ------- ------ Outstanding at end of year 104,600 $16.13 to $19.00 70,400 $17.54 to $19.00 ------- ------ Exercisable at December 31 17,067 - ------- ------ The value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999 1998 ---- ---- Dividend yield 1.97% to 1.98% 1.53% to 1.65% Expected volatility 25.47% 30% Risk free rate 5.68 to 6.42% 5.50% Expected lives 10 years 10 years The Company uses the intrinsic value method to account for stock based compensation plans. Because the option price of stock options granted was equal to the market price of the common stock at the date of grant for all options granted, no compensation expense related to the options was recognized. If the Company had applied a fair value based method to recognize compensation cost for the options granted, net income and net income per share would have been changed to the following pro forma amounts for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999 1998 ---- ---- Net Income: As Reported $ 2,846,047 $ 2,974,349 Pro forma $ 2,763,829 $ 2,769,375 Basic Earnings Per Share: As Reported $ 1.01 $ 1.04 Pro forma $ 0.99 $ 0.96 Diluted Earnings Per Share: As reported $ 1.01 $ 1.04 Pro forma $ 0.99 $ 0.96 13.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income is defined as net income plus transactions and other occurrences which are the result of nonowner changes in equity. For the Company, nonowner equity changes are comprised of unrealized gains or losses on available for sale classified securities that will be accumulated with net income in determining comprehensive income.

CAPITAL STANDARDS The Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) have adopted risk-based capital standards for banking organizations. These standards require ratios of capital to assets for minimum capital adequacy and to be classified as well capitalized under prompt corrective action provisions. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the capital ratios and minimum capital requirements are as follows. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Minimum Capital To be well Actual Adequacy Capitalized (in thousands) Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio -------------- ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- DECEMBER 31, 1999 Total Capital (to risk-weighted assets) Consolidated $30,097,294 12.38% $19,448,427 8.0% $24,310,533 10.0% Carrollton Bank $28,093,224 11.74% $19,138,051 8.0% $23,922,564 10.0% Tier 1 Capital (to risk-weighted assets) Consolidated $26,710,969 10.99% $ 9,724,213 4.0% $14,586,320 6.0% Carrollton Bank $25,256,933 10.56% $ 9,569,026 4.0% $14,353,538 6.0% Tier 1 Capital (to average assets) Consolidated $26,710,969 7.30% $14,627,602 4.0% $18,284,503 5.0% Carrollton Bank $25,256,933 7.02% $14,387,894 4.0% $17,984,867 5.0% DECEMBER 31, 1998 Total Capital (to risk-weighted assets) Consolidated $31,523,051 16.75% $15,051,740 8.0% $18,814,675 10.0% Carrollton Bank $26,321,708 14.64% $14,379,727 8.0% $17,974,659 10.0% Tier 1 Capital (to risk-weighted assets) Consolidated $28,254,337 15.02% $ 7,525,870 4.0% $11,288,805 6.0% Carrollton Bank $23,933,976 13.32% $ 7,189,864 4.0% $10,784,795 6.0% Tier 1 Capital (to average assets) Consolidated $28,254,337 9.39% $12,029,943 4.0% $15,037,429 5.0% Carrollton Bank $23,933,976 8.09% $11,832,024 4.0% $14,790,030 5.0% 42 15. CAPITAL STANDARDS (CONTINUED) Tier 1 capital consists of capital stock, surplus, and undivided profits. Total capital includes a limited amount of the allowance for loan losses. In calculating risk-weighted assets, specified risk percentages are applied to each category of asset and off-balance sheet items. Failure to meet the capital requirements could affect the Company's ability to pay dividends and accept deposits and may significantly affect the operations of the Company. As of December 31, 1999, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk based, Tier 1 risk based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category. 16. PENSION PLANS The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of the employees. Benefits are based on years of service and the employee's highest average rate of earnings for the three consecutive years during the last five full years before retirement. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually the amount recommended by the Plan's independent actuarial consultants. Assets of the plan are held in a trust fund managed by an insurance company. Approximately 61% of the trust assets are invested in an immediate participation guarantee fund, and the balance is invested in equity funds. The following table sets forth the financial status of the plan: 1999 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- CHANGE IN BENEFIT OBLIGATION: Benefit obligation at beginning of year $6,215,846 $5,707,644 $4,888,812 Service cost 411,073 313,141 262,076 Interest cost 431,592 402,508 372,592 Actuarial gain (656,826) 40,515 445,744 Benefits paid (296,668) (247,962) (261,580) ---------- ---------- ---------- Benefit obligation at end of year $6,105,017 $6,215,846 $5,707,644 ========== ========== ========== CHANGE IN PLAN ASSETS: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $5,961,647 $5,021,786 $4,288,052 Actual return on plan assets 1,001,027 858,086 615,025 Employer contribution - 329,737 380,289 Benefits paid (296,668) (247,962) (261,580) ---------- ---------- ---------- Fair value of plan assets at end of year $6,666,006 $5,961,647 $5,021,786 ========== ========== ========== Funded status $ 560,989 $ (254,199) $ (685,858) Unrecognized net actuarial loss (915,047) 218,677 595,081 Unrecognized prior service cost 251,755 302,820 353,885 Unrecognized net transition (asset) (6,504) (52,983) (99,462) ---------- ---------- ---------- Prepaid (accrued) benefit cost ($ 108,807) $ 214,315 $ 163,646 ========== ========== ========== ASSUMPTIONS USED IN MEASURING THE PROJECTED BENEFIT OBLIGATION WERE AS FOLLOWS: Discount rates 7.75% 7.00% 7.25% Rates of increase in compensation levels 5.50% 5.50% 5.50% Long-term rate of return on assets 9.00% 9.00% 9.00% NET PENSION EXPENSE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS: Service cost $ 411,073 $ 313,141 $ 262,076 Interest cost 431,592 402,508 372,592 Actual return on assets (524,129) (441,167) (375,427) Net amortization and deferral 4,586 4,586 4,586 ---------- ---------- ---------- Net pension expense $ 323,122 $ 279,068 $ 263,827 ========== ========== ========== The Company has a contributory thrift plan qualifying under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.

LEASE COMMITMENTS The Company leases various branch and general office facilities to conduct its operations. The leases have remaining terms which range from a period of 4 months to 15 years. Most leases contain renewal options which are generally exercisable at increased rates. Some of the leases provide for increases in the rental rates at specified times during the lease terms, prior to the expiration dates. The leases generally provide for payment of property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs by the Company. The total rental expense for all real property leases amounted to $570,502, $716,525, and $666,851 for 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

For state and municipal securities, the fair values are estimated using a matrix that considers yield to maturity, credit quality, and marketability. The fair value of fixed-term loans is estimated to be the present value of scheduled payments, and anticipated prepayments in the case of residential mortgages, discounted using interest rates currently in effect for loans of the same class and term. The fair value of variable-rate loans is estimated to equal the carrying amount. The valuations of fixed-term and variable-rate loans are adjusted for possible loan losses. The fair value of interest-bearing checking, savings, and money market deposit accounts is equal to the carrying amount. The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated based on interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Generally, the Company charges fees for commitments to extend credit. Interest rates on commitments to extend credit are normally committed for periods of less than one month. Fees charged on standby letters of credit are deemed to be immaterial and these guarantees are expected to be settled at face amount or expire unused. It is impractical to assign any fair value to these commitments. 22. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has reportable segments that are strategic business units offering complimentary products and services to the core business of banking.
