LYBRAND GOES HERE] a professional services firm REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS ------- To the Board of Directors Reisterstown Holdings, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Reisterstown Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 1995 and September 30, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 1995 and for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 1994. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Reisterstown Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1995 and September 30, 1994, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 1995 and for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note 1 and Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for certain investments in debt and equity securities beginning in fiscal 1995, and its method of accounting for income taxes beginning in fiscal year 1993.

(the "Company"), incorporated July 24, 1989, was organized to acquire Reisterstown Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") and Subsidiaries: Reisterstown Service Corporation (RSC), American Title, Inc. (AT), and Time Financial Services, Inc. (TFS). On January 3, 1990, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of the Bank for $27,913,000. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to assets and liabilities acquired based upon their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to the following intangible assets: Amortization Amount Period ---------- ---------------- Core Deposits $5,779,233 10 years Favorable Lease 200,000 15 years The total excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired net of amortization, which is included in prepaid expenses and other assets, was $2,875,157 and $3,170,783, respectively, at March 31, 1995 and September 30, 1994. Immediately subsequent to the acquisition, the Bank distributed its shares in AT and TFS to the Company. Under the terms of a management agreement, the Company paid $156,000, $208,000 and $261,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1995 and the years ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 respectively, to affiliates of a stockholder. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: ------------------------------------------- Principles of Consolidation: --------------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Reisterstown Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: AT, TFS, and the Bank and its subsidiary, RSC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Cash Equivalents: ----------------- For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents includes federal funds sold. Continued A-7 REISTERSTOWN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued ______ 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued: ------------------------------------------------------ Securities: ----------- Securities (investment and mortgage-backed securities) consist of non- equity securities which are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount using the level yield method over the term of the security. The Company has the positive ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity. Gain or loss on sale is reflected in income at the time of sale using the specific identification method. The Bank adopted the provisions of statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity ----------------------------------------------------- Securities effective October 1, 1994. Under this statement, the ---------- securities are Bank's investments in required to be classified among three categories and accounted for as follows: . Trading Securities. Securities held principally for the sale in the near term are classified as trading securities and recorded at their fair values. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in other income. . Securities held to maturity. Securities for which the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts which are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. . Securities Available for Sale. Securities available for sale consist of securities not classified as trading securities or as securities to be held to maturity. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are included as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of taxes. Declines in the fair value of individual held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary will result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. The related write-downs would be included in earnings as realized losses. For the six months ended March 31, 1995, the Bank classified all of its securities as held to maturity. Continued A-8 REISTERSTOWN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued ______ 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued: ------------------------------------------------------ Mortgage-Backed Securities Held for Sale: ---------------------------------------- Generally, mortgage-backed securities created through mortgage banking operations of the Bank (through securitization of loans originated by the Bank) are classified as held for sale and carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. No such securities were outstanding at March 31, 1995 and September 30, 1994. When mortgage-backed securities are sold, gain or loss on sale is reflected in income at the time of sale using the specific identification method. Interest on Loans: ----------------- Accrual of interest and amortization of loan fees on potential problem loans will be excluded from income when, in the opinion of management, such exclusion is warranted. Generally, this occurs when scheduled principal and interest payments are past due 90 days or more on any loan. Interest ultimately collected will be credited to income in the period of recovery. Loan Fees: --------- Loan origination fees and direct origination costs are deferred and recognized as adjustments to the interest yield on the related loans over their contractual lives. Gains on Sale of Loans: ---------------------- The Bank sells whole and participating interests in certain loans. Gain or loss is recognized to the extent that the sales proceeds exceed or are less than the book value of the loans sold. Continued A-9 REISTERSTOWN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued ______ 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued: ----------------------------------------------------- Gains on Sale of Loans, continued: ---------------------------------- In transactions that involve loans in which the Bank retains the servicing, the present value of the difference between the interest rate charges to the borrower and the interest rate paid to the investor over the estimated lives of the loans, after deducting a normal servicing fee, is recorded as excess servicing fee receivable and recorded as a gain or loss at the time of the sale. This excess servicing fees receivable, which is included in "prepaid expenses and other assets" in the consolidated statements of financial condition, is amortized as an adjustment to servicing income using the level yield method over the estimated remaining lives of the loans. The Bank periodically reviews the prepayment experience on loans serviced for investors, and the carrying value of the excess servicing fees receivable is adjusted as appropriate. For the six months ended March 31, 1995 and for the years ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, amounts recorded as a gain on the sale of all 30 year and 15 year fixed rate loans were received as cash. For the years ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, amounts recorded as a gain on all 10 year fixed rate loans securitized and sold as Participation Certificates were segregated into both excess servicing fees receivable and cash. Allowance for Loan Losses: -------------------------- The allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb possible future losses, net of recoveries, inherent in the existing loan portfolio. The provision for estimated loan losses is the periodic cost of maintaining an adequate allowance. In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management takes into consideration the following factors: the condition of industries and geographic areas experiencing or expected to experience particular economic adversities; historical charge-off and recovery activity (noting any particular trend changes over recent periods); trends in asset classifications, delinquencies, bankruptcies and non-performing loans; trends of loan volume and size of credit risks inherent in the composition of the loan portfolio; current and anticipated economic conditions; credit evaluations; underwriting policies; and the liquidity and volatility of the markets in which the Bank does business. Continued A-10 REISTERSTOWN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued ______ 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued: ------------------------------------------------------ Property and Equipment: ----------------------- Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided for by the use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Additions and improvements will be capitalized, and charges for repairs and maintenance will be expensed when incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation will be eliminated from the accounts when an asset is sold or retired and the resultant gain or loss will be credited or charged to income. Foreclosed Real Estate: ----------------------- Real estate properties acquired through loan foreclosure are initially recorded at the lower of cost or fair value at the date of foreclosure. Costs relating to development and improvement of property are capitalized, whereas costs relating to the holding of property are expensed. Valuations are periodically performed by management, and an allowance for losses is established by a charge to income if the carrying value of a property exceeds its estimated net realizable value. At March 31, 1995, foreclosed real estate amounted to $698,000. No foreclosed real estate existed as of September 30, 1994. Income Taxes: ------------ Effective October 1, 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". The Company uses the liability method to determine deferred tax amounts and related income tax expenses or benefit. Deferred taxes are calculated by applying enacted statutory tax rates to temporary differences consisting of items of income and expenses that are accounted for in financial reporting periods which differ from income tax reporting periods. The resultant deferred tax assets and liabilities represent future taxes to be recovered or remitted when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Impact of New Accounting Standards: ---------------------------------- Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, was issued in May 1993, and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. This statement requires that impaired loans including loans restructured in a troubled debt restructuring involving a modification of terms, be evaluated based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, if the loan is collateral dependent, based on the fair value of the collateral.

The loan agreement places various restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries, including the payment of dividends and the maintenance of minimum financial ratios. The Company is dependent on receipt of cash dividends from the Bank to service the term loan. Such dividends are subject to regulatory limitations. The total amount of dividends that the Bank could have paid to the Company, subject to approval from bank regulators, at March 31, 1995 was approximately $4,600,000. In addition, the loan agreement restricts the payment of dividends by the Bank so that such payment may not cause the Bank's tangible net worth, as defined, to be less than $16,000,000. At March 31, 1995, the Bank's tangible net worth was $22,318,000. Continued A-18 REISTERSTOWN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued ______ 10.

There was no outstanding principal balance relating to this agreement at March 31, 1995. The Company may be required to pay a fee upon the full or partial prepayment of the loan and at the scheduled final maturity. The fee is calculated as a percentage (ranging from 5% at January 3, 1990 to 2.5% at January 1, 1997 and thereafter) of the payment amount.

The securities underlying the agreements are generally book- entry securities which are delivered by appropriate entry into the counterparties' accounts maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. At March 31, 1995 and September 30, 1994, there were no such repurchase agreements outstanding. Pursuant to a blanket floating lien security agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB), the Bank can borrow against a daily rate line of credit providing for maximum outstanding borrowings of no more than $15,000,000. The Bank is required to maintain, as collateral for these advances, qualifying first mortgage loans and its stock in the FHLB. There were no FHLB daily rate credit advances outstanding as of March 31, 1995. Also, pursuant to a blanket floating lien security agreement with the FHLB, the Bank has entered into the Affordable Housing Program (AHP) offered by the FHLB. The AHP provides advances with subsidized interest rates as well as direct subsidies to borrowers for long-term financing of owner-occupied and rental housing for very low, low and moderate income families. The Bank is required to maintain, as collateral for its advances, qualifying first mortgage loans and its stock in the FHLB.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued ______ 11. Income Taxes, continued ------------ The Bank has qualified under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") which permit it to deduct from taxable income a provision for bad debts based on a percentage of taxable income before such deduction. The deduction percentage, subject to certain minimum tax provisions and other limitations, is 8%. In connection with the adoption of SFAS 109, the Bank now recognizes a deferred tax asset for its bad debt reserve for financial reporting purposes and a deferred tax liability for increases over the base year amount as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, in its bad debt reserve for income tax purposes. Accordingly, beginning October 1, 1992, changes in these reserves will no longer be considered permanent differences for purposes of the provision for income taxes and will not create a reconciling item between the income tax provision calculated at the federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate on pre-tax accounting income. The bad debt deductions permitted a thrift institution under the IRC which have been provided for in the current and prior years for federal income tax purposes aggregate approximately $5,900,000 at March 31, 1995. If any portion of this amount, which is included in retained income, is used for any purpose other than to absorb bad debt losses, the Bank will be required to recognize additional taxable income at the then-current rates. In the future, if the Bank does not meet the federal income tax requirements necessary to permit it to deduct an allowance for bad debts, its effective federal income tax rate could increase. Further, if the Bank does not maintain qualified assets, as defined for federal income tax purposes, equal to or in excess of 60% of total assets, the entire amount would become taxable. It is management's intention to maintain sufficient qualified assets. Continued A-22 REISTERSTOWN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued ______ 12. Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act ("FIRREA")of ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1989: ---- FIRREA was signed into law on August 9, 1989; regulations for savings institutions' minimum capital requirements went into effect on December 7, 1989. In addition to its capital requirements, FIRREA includes provisions for changes in the Federal regulatory structure for institutions including a new deposit insurance system, increased deposit insurance premiums, and restricted investment activities with respect to non-investment grade corporate debt and certain other investments. FIRREA also increases the required ratio of housing-related assets in order to qualify as a savings institution. The regulations require institutions to have a minimum regulatory tangible capital ratio (Bank's Regulatory Tangible Capital as a percent of total assets) a minimum leverage capital ratio (Core Capital as a percent of total assets) and a minimum risk-based capital ration (risk base capital as a percent of total risk-adjusted assets) as defined by FIRREA. The Bank, at March 31, 1995, meets these ratio requirements. The minimum required rations and the Bank's actual ratios at March 31, 1995 are as follows: Required Actual at March 31, 1995 at March 31, 1995 ------------------- ------------------- Tangible capital ratio 1.5% 9.2% Leveraged capital ratio 3.0 9.2 Risk-based capital ratio 8.0 15.1 Under an agreement with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), dated January 3, 1990 and modified on April 15, 1991 the Bank may not pay dividends in excess of the Bank's net income during the most recent calendar year plus the amount that would reduce by one-half the Bank's surplus capital ratio at the beginning of the calendar year.

Capital Stock Repurchase Commitment: ----------------------------------- Under the terms of a Senior Management Employment and Compensation Agreement, certain holders of 23 shares of common stock had the option to require the Company to repurchase the 23 shares at $17,350 per share on January 23, 1995. The holders of the stock did not exercise their option. 14. Pension Plan: ------------- The Bank has a 401(k) profit sharing plan and a money purchase plan that covers all employees with one year of service who are 21 years of age or older. Under the terms of the 401(k) plan, the Bank contributed 3% of each eligible employee's compensation into the plan plus 5.7% of compensation over $60,600. In addition the Bank matches, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, an employee's voluntary contribution up to 5% of compensation. The money purchase plan provides that the Bank contribute 5% of each eligible employee's compensation into the plan. The combined 401(k) and money purchase plans provide for vesting over a five-year period. The cost of funding these plans was $208,494, $332,564 and $231,721 for the six months ended March 31, 1995 and the years ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 15. Commitments: ------------ In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has various outstanding commitments that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. At March 31, 1995 and September 30, 1994, in addition to undisbursed construction loans in process of $68,774,800 and $74,701,200, respectively, the Bank had outstanding firm loan commitments for variable rate mortgage loans of $18,017,250 and $28,057,235, respectively and fixed rate loans of $1,277,800 and $1,638,050, respectively at current market rates. These commitments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The contract amounts of these commitments reflect the extent of the Bank's involvement. Continued A-24 REISTERSTOWN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued ______ 15. Commitments, continued: ----------- Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since some commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained (usually in the form of real estate property) is based upon management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. 16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments: ------------------------------------ Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (SFAS No. 107), requires all entities, where practicable, to disclose the estimated fair value of recognized and unrecognized financial instruments. Much of the information used to determine fair value was based upon subjective assessments of market conditions and perceived risks of the financial instruments and, therefore, the reported fair values may not be precise or represent actual potential transaction amounts. The subjective factors include, among other things, estimated cash flows, risk characteristics, credit quality and interest rates, all of which are subject to change. Certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 107; accordingly, the fair value disclosures required by SFAS No. 107 provide only a partial view of the value of the Bank's assets and liabilities. For example, the Company has not included the fair value of its portfolio of loans serviced for others and core deposit intangibles. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments. Investments and mortgage-backed securities ------------------------------------------ The fair value of U.S. Government and Agency obligations and mortgage- backed securities are estimate based on bid quotations, received from securities dealers. See Notes 3 and 4 for the carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities. Continued A-25 REISTERSTOWN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued ______ 16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments, continued: ----------------------------------- Loans ----- Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Mortgage loans are segregated by, but not limited to, residential, commercial, construction and land and development. Each loan category may be segmented, as appropriate, into fixed and adjustable interest rate terms, ranges of interest rates, and repricing frequency. The fair value of each loan portfolio is calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flows to their present value using an assigned discount rate. The discount rate approximated the origination rate that the Company would charge under current conditions to the originate similar financial instruments. Deposits and borrowings ----------------------- The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts approximates the carrying value. The fair value of certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining terms. The fair value of drafts payable and long term debt approximated the carrying value.
