Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
The following discussion contains certain forward-looking
statements within the meaning of and made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Litigation Securities Reform Act of 1995.
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations of the Registrant (the Company) should be read in conjunction
with the Company's financial statements and related notes and other
statistical information included elsewhere herein.
General
Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated
as a Maryland corporation on October 31, 1995. The Company owns all of
the stock of Calvin B. Taylor Banking Company (the "Maryland Bank"), a
commercial bank that was established in 1890 and incorporated under the
laws of the State of Maryland on December 17, 1907. This bank operates
nine banking offices in Worcester County, Maryland and one banking office
in Ocean View, Delaware. The Bank's administrative office is located in
Berlin, Maryland.
The Maryland Bank is engaged in a general commercial and retail banking
business serving individuals, businesses, and governmental units in
Worcester County, Maryland, Ocean View, Delaware, and neighboring counties.
The Company currently engages in no business other than owning and
managing the Maryland Bank.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Sources of Capital
Total assets of the Company decreased $5.2 million from December 31,
2002 to March 31, 2003. During the first quarter of the year, the Bank
typically experiences a decline in deposits since business customers
are using their deposits to meet cash flow needs. Generally, this
situation reverses late in the second quarter of the year as the Bank
receives loan repayments from seasonal business customers, and deposits
from summer residents and tourists.
During the first quarter of 2003, the Bank's loan portfolio increased
$6.0 million. Funding for these loans was provided primarily by a
reduction in overnight federal funds sold. As loans earn at a higher
rate than federal funds sold, this shift has a positive impact on earnings.
The allowance for loan losses represents a reserve for potential
losses in the loan portfolio. The adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses is evaluated periodically based on a review of all significant
loans, with a particular emphasis on non-accruing, past due, and other
loans that management believes require attention. The determination of
the reserve level relies on management's judgment about factors affecting
loan quality and anticipated changes in the composition and size of the
portfolio, as well as assumptions about the economy. Historically,
the Company has low loan charge-offs. The Bank's target levels for the
allowance as a percentage of gross loans range from approximately 1.00% to
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Sources of Capital (continued)
1.35%. Based on review of the consolidated loan portfolio, the Company
determined that an allowance of 1.28% of gross loans was adequate as of
March 31, 2003. At December 31, 2002, the allowance was 1.33% of gross
loans. At March 31, 2003, there were no non-accruing loans and loans
delinquent ninety days or more, excluding non-accruing loans, totaled
$227,041 or .13% of the portfolio.
The company's major sources of liquidity are loan repayments,
maturities of short-term investments including federal funds sold, and
increases in core deposits. Throughout the first quarter of the year,
when the Bank typically experiences a decline in deposits, federal funds
sold, and investment securities are primary sources of liquidity. During
the second quarter of the year, additional sources of liquidity become
more readily available as business borrowers start repaying loans, and
the Bank receives seasonal deposits. Throughout the second and third
quarters the Bank maintains a high liquidity level. Funds from seasonal
deposits are generally invested in short-term U.S. Treasury Bills and
overnight federal funds. Average liquid assets (cash and amounts due
from banks, interest bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold,
and investment securities) compared to average deposits were 62.54% for
the first quarter of 2003, compared to 58.36% for the first quarter of
2002.
At March 31, 2003, the Company's interest rate sensitivity, as
measured by gap analysis, showed the Company was asset-sensitive with
a one-year cumulative gap of 12.86%, as a percentage of interest-
earning assets. Generally asset-sensitivity indicates that assets reprice
more quickly than liabilities and in a rising rate environment net interest
income typically increases. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, net
interest income would decline. The Bank has classified its demand mortgage
and commercial loans as immediately repriceable. Unlike loans tied to
prime, these rates do not necessarily change as prime changes since the
decision to call the loans and change the rates rests with management.
Tier one risk-based capital ratios of the Company as of March 31,
2003 and 2002 were 38.89% and 34.60%, respectively. Both are
substantially in excess of regulatory minimum requirements.
Results of Operations
The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of and made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of
the Private Litigation Securities Reform Act of 1995.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2003, was $1,352,505
or $.42 per share, compared to $1,279,913 or $.40 per share for the first
quarter of 2002. This represents an increase of $72,592. The primary
reasons for the increase in net income are higher net interest income
and other operating revenues. Net interest income increased $58,546 in
the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the first quarter of 2002 due an
improved interest spread and higher balances of both interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities. Although rates on both assets and
liabilities are lower than they were for the same period last year, the Bank
has tried to maintain loan rates while making timely reductions in deposit
rates in response to market conditions. Market rate reductions have also
diminished rates of return on federal funds sold and investment securities.
Results of Operations (continued)
Net interest income of the company is one of the most important
factors in evaluating the financial performance of the Company. The
Company uses interest sensitivity analysis to determine the effect of
rate changes. Net interest income is projected over a one-year period
to determine the effect of an increase or decrease in the prime rate of
100 basis points. If prime were to decrease one hundred basis points,
and all assets and liabilities maturing within that period were fully
adjusted for the rate change, the Company would experience a decrease
of less than five percent in net interest income. The sensitivity
analysis does not consider the likelihood of these rate changes nor
whether management's reaction to this rate change would be to reprice
its loans or deposits.
No provision for loan losses was made in the first quarters of 2003
or 2002. Loans charged-off during the first quarter of 2003 totaled
$1,736. Loans charged-off during the first quarter of 2002 totaled $7,775.
Other operating revenues exceed last year primarily due to additional
activity fees on a larger deposit portfolio and increases to the Bank's fee
schedule in Spring 2002.
Other expense variances include an increase in salaries and benefits
of $57.1 thousand, of which $32.3 thousand is increased salaries. The Bank
employed 97 full time equivalent employees as of March 31, 2003. The Bank
hires seasonal employees during the summer. The Company has no employees
other than those hired by the Bank.
Other expense variances also include a decrease of $48.2 thousand in
other operating expenses. Significant downward variances in postage and
stationery & supplies expense may be due, in part, to the timing of
payments, in addition to reflecting an effort to reduce unnecessary mailings.
A $16.9 thousand decrease in telephone expense is due to changing vendors.
Income taxes are $42,800 higher than last year, on a pre-tax income
increase of $115,392.
Plans of Operation
The Bank conducts general commercial banking businesses in its
service area of Worcester County, Maryland and Sussex County, Delaware,
while also emphasizing the banking needs of individuals and small- to
medium-sized businesses and professional concerns. The Bank offers a full
range of federally insured deposit services that are typically available in
most banks and savings and loan associations, including checking accounts,
NOW accounts, savings accounts and time deposits of various types ranging
from daily money market accounts to longer-term certificates of deposit.
The Company, through the Bank, offers a full range of short- to medium-
term commercial and personal loans, and originates mortgage loans, including
real estate construction and acquisition loans. The Bank has the intent and
the ability to hold loans that their portfolios.
Other bank services include cash management services, 24-hour ATM's,
credit cards, debit cards, safe deposit boxes, travelers' checks, direct
deposit of payroll and social security checks, and automatic drafts for
various accounts. The Bank offers bank-by-phone and Internet banking
services, including electronic bill-payment, to both commercial and retail
customers.
Capital Resources and Adequacy
Total stockholders' equity increased $1,335,174 from December 31,
2002 to March 31, 2003. This change is attributable to the comprehensive
income recorded during the period, as detailed in Note 2 of the Notes to
Financial Statements.
Under the capital guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC,
the Company and the Bank are currently required to maintain a minimum risk-
based total capital ratio of 8%, with at least 4% being Tier 1 capital.
Tier 1 capital consists of common shareholders' equity, qualifying perpetual
preferred stock, and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated
subsidiaries, less certain intangibles. In addition, the Company and the
Bank must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total
assets) of at least 3%, but this minimum ratio is increased by 100 to 200
basis points for other than the highest-rated institutions.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company's principal market risk exposure relates to interest
rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Unlike most industrial companies, the assets and liabilities of
financial institutions such as the Company and the Bank are primarily
monetary in nature. Therefore, interest rates have a more significant
effect on the Company's performance than do the effects of changes in
the general rate of inflation and change in prices. In addition,
interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the
same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. As discussed
previously, management monitors and seeks to manage the relationships
between interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect
against wide interest rate fluctuations, including those resulting
from inflation.
Item 4. Controls and procedures
Within the ninety days prior to the date of this report,
the Company's management performed an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures and its internal controls
and procedures for financial reporting. Disclosure Controls
are procedures that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in the Company's publicly filed
reports is reported in a timely manner. As part of these
controls, Management reviews information gathered through
systems developed for that purpose to determine the nature
of required disclosure.
Internal controls are procedures designed to provide
management with reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded,
and that transactions are properly authorized, executed, and
recorded to permit the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal controls,
errors or irregularities may occur and not be detected. The
projection of an evaluation of controls to future periods is
subject to the risk that procedures may become inadequate due
to changes in conditions including the degree of compliance with
procedures.
The Chief Executive Officer and the Treasurer of the
Company have concluded, based on the evaluation of disclosure
controls and internal controls that the financial information
and disclosures included in periodic SEC filings and the Company's
financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no significant changes in the company's internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
internal controls, including corrective actions with regard to
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
