Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary
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 "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 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 Bank.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Total assets of the Company decreased $3.4 million from December 31, 2003
to March 31, 2004. 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. This reduction of deposits reuslts in
reductions in either federal funds sold or investments in securities.
Generally, this situation reverses late in the second quarter of the year as
the Bank receives deposits from seasonal business customers, summer residents,
and tourists.

During the first quarter of 2004, the Bank's loan portfolio increased $.8
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 1.35%. Based on review of the Bank's loan portfolio,
the Company determined that an allowance of 1.32% of gross loans was adequate
as of March 31, 2004. At December 31, 2003, the allowance was 1.33% of gross
loans. At March 31, 2004, there were no non-accruing loans and loans delinquent
ninety days or more, excluding non-accruing loans, totaled $659,976 or .40% 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 64.27% for
the first quarter of 2004, compared to 62.54% for the first quarter of 2003.
The Bank's liquidity levels have remained atypically high since mid-2001 when
the Bank experience an influx of deposits as a result of general economic
conditions. Management believes that the deposit growth in late 2001 through
2003 was based in part in depositors' lack of confidence in the stock market
and their flight to the relative safety of insured deposits.


Results of Operations

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2004, was $1,342,784 or
$.42 per share, compared to $1,352,505 or $.42 per share for the first quarter
of 2003. This represents a decrease of $9,721.

While earnings decreased slightly, net interest income increased by $10,721
in the first quarter of 2004 compared to the first quarter of 2003 due an
improved interest spread resulting from deposit rate reductions made early in
2003 which continue to offset declining yields on earning assets. Net interest
income 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 2004 or
2003. Net loan charge-offs(recoveries) were ($583) during the first quarter of
2004 versus ($1,530) during the first quarter of 2003.

Other operating revenues exceed last year primarily due to increases in the
cash surrender value of Bank Owned Life Insurance. The Bank invested $4.0
million in life insurance in August 2003. The increase in cash surrender value
during the first quarter of 2004 was $40.4 thousand.

Other expense variances include an increase in salaries and employee
benefits of $55.8 thousand, of which $26.8 thousand is increased salaries and
$38.1 thousand is group insurance. The Bank employed 100 full time equivalent
employees as of March 31, 2004. The Bank hires seasonal employees during the
summer. The Company has no employees other than those hired by the Bank.

Income taxes are $1,000 higher than last year, on a pre-tax income decrease
of $8,721.




Plans of Operation

The Bank offers a full range of deposit services including checking, NOW,
Money Market, and savings accounts, and time deposits including certificates of
deposit. The transaction accounts and time certificates are tailored to the
Bank's principal market areas at rates competitive to those offered in the area.
In addition, the Bank offers certain retirement account services, such as
Individual Retirements Accounts ("IRAs"). All deposits are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") up to the maximum amount
allowed by law (generally, $100,000 per depositor subject to aggregation rules).
The Bank solicits these accounts from individuals, businesses, associations and
organizations, and governmental authorities.

The Company, through the Bank, also offers a full range of short- to
medium-term commercial and personal loans. Commercial loans include both
secured and unsecured loans for working capital (including inventory and
receivables), business expansion (including acquisition of real estate and
improvements), and purchase of equipment and machinery. Consumer loans include
secured and unsecured loans for financing automobiles, home improvements,
education, and personal investments. The Company originates commercial and
residential mortgage loans and real estate construction and acquisition loans.
These lending activities are subject to a variety of lending limits imposed by
state and federal law. The Bank may not make any loans to any director or
executive officer (except for commercial loans to directors who are not officers
or employees) unless the Board of Directors of the Bank approves the loans.
The Board of Directors must review any such loans every six months.

Other bank services include cash management services, 24-hour ATM's, debit
cards, safe deposit boxes, travelers' checks, direct deposit of payroll and
social security, and automatic drafts. 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 $1,276,384 from December 31, 2003 to
March 31, 2004. 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 $110,448 used to purchase and retire 3,068 shares of
common stock. Stock repurchases were at a price of $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 March 31, 2004 and
2003 were 40.68% and 38.89%, 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 March 31, 2004, the Company's interest rate sensitivity, as measured by
gap analysis, showed the Company was asset-sensitive with a one-year cumulative
gap of 11.15%, 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, including
corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses.
