Part I. Financial Information
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. The 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

Total assets of the Company increased $49.7 million from December 31,
2002 to September 30, 2003. Combined deposits and customer repurchase
agreements increased $48.4 million during the same period. 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 first the nine months
of 2002 and 2003, this traditional pattern has not applied. Management
believes that adverse conditions in the stock markets have contributed to
unusually large increases in deposits throughout the first halves of this
year and last year.

During the first nine months of 2003, the Bank's gross loan portfolio
has increased $2.0 million. Funding for these loans was provided by growth
in deposits. This increase in loans does not negatively impact the Company's
ability to meet liquidity demands.

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 rests upon 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 level for its allowance as a
percentage of gross loans ranges from approximately 1.00% to 1.35%. Based
on a review of the consolidated loan portfolio, the Company determined that
an allowance of 1.32% of gross loans was adequate as of September 30, 2003
as compared to 1.33% of gross loans at December 31, 2002. At September 30,
2003, there were no non-accruing loans. Loans delinquent ninety days or
more totaled $279,875 or .17% of the portfolio.

Liquidity

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 67.47% for the third quarter of 2003
compared to 63.94% for the third quarter of 2002. This increase in liquidity
is primarily due to the rapid growth in deposits, which has not been
accompanied by a corresponding increase in demand for loans.


Results of Operations

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2003, was $1,429,125
or $.44 per share, compared to $1,491,997 or $.46 per share for the third
quarter of 2002. This represents a decrease of $62,872 or 4.21% from the
prior year. Year to date net income decreased $80,417 per share from
$4,312,087 or $1.33 per share in 2002 to $4,231,670 or $1.31 per share in
2003. Significant reasons for the year to date decrease in net income are
lower net interest income and higher non-interest expenses, offset in part
by increased other operating revenue.

Net interest income decreased $92,794 in the first nine months of 2003
as compared to the first nine months of 2002. Net interest income decreased
$96,879 in the three months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the three
months ended September 30, 2002. This decrease, both year-to-date and for
the most recent quarter, is attributable to declining yields on earning
assets, particularly the Bank's investment security portfolio and federal
funds sold. The Company's net interest income is one of the most important
factors in evaluating its financial performance. Management 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 four 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 three quarters of
2003 or 2002. Net charge-offs/(recoveries) were ($2,255) during the third
quarter of 2003, and ($4,385) for the year-to-date. Net charge-offs/
(recoveries) during the third quarter of 2002, and the year-to-date, were
($2,839) and $25,456, respectively.

Other operating revenue, including service charges on deposit accounts,
increased $3.4 thousand from third quarter 2002 to third quarter 2003. For
the year to date, other operating revenue has increased $87.4 thousand from
2002 to 2003. Revenue increases are primarily due to deposit services
charges assessed against a larger deposit base and fee increases placed in
effect in May 2002. Additionally, the Bank purchased Bank Owned Life
Insurance policies at a cost of $4.0 million in August 2003. An increase
in cash surrender value of $15.4 thousand on these policies is included in
other operating revenue.

Personnel expenses are higher for the nine months ended September 30,
2003 compared to the same period in 2002 due to general increases in salaries
as well as increased health care costs. The bank, which hires seasonal
employees during the summer, employed 97 full time equivalent employees as
of September 30, 2003. The Company has no employees other than those hired
by the bank.

The Company's occupancy expense increased $23.1 thousand from first
three quarters of 2002 to 2003, and $49.5 thousand for the comparative
years-to-date. Notable factors contributing to this increase are increased
landscaping and grounds maintenance costs incurred to improve the appearance
of Bank properties and costs related to the ongoing construction project at
the Berlin, Maryland office.

Other expense variances also include quarterly and year-to-date
decreases of $30.6 thousand and $87.5 thousand, respectively, in other
operating expenses. Examination assessments are down $23.7 thousand due to
the elimination of $28.3 thousand in fees assessed by the Delaware Bank
Commissioner in 2002. Legal fees are down $35.4 thousand due to the
attorneys' fees for the merger of the Delaware and Maryland subsidiary banks
in September 2002.

Third quarter income taxes are $54.1 thousand less than last year, on a
pre-tax income decrease of $117.0 thousand. Year-to date income taxes are
$12.3 thousand less than last year, on a pre-tax income decrease of $92.7
thousand. This is partially due to an increase in the Company's effective
tax rate resulting from tax-favored income becoming a smaller percentage of
total revenues.

Plans of Operation

The Bank conducts general commercial banking businesses in its service
area of Worcester County, Maryland and Sussex County, Delaware, while
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 it originates in its portfolio.

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 $4,195,746 from December 31, 2002
to September 30, 2003. This increase is attributable to the comprehensive
income recorded during the period, as detailed in Note 2 of the Notes to
Financial Statements, reduced by $422,367 used to purchase and retire
11,740 shares of common stock. Stock repurchases were at prices of $35.75
to $36.00 dollars per share.

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.

Tier one risk-based capital ratios of the Company as of September 30,
2003 and 2002 were 36.75% and 38.57%, respectively. Both are substantially
in excess of regulatory minimum requirements.


Website Access to SEC Reports

The Bank maintains an Internet website at www.taylorbank.com. The
Company's periodic SEC reports, including annual reports on Form 10-K,
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K, are
accessible through this website. Access to these filings is free of charge.
The reports are available as soon as practicable after they are filed
electronically with the SEC.


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.
At September 30, 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 11.26%, 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.


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,
