NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information as of and for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 is unaudited)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements prepared for Carrollton
Bancorp ("the Company") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions
for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary
for a full presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. The consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto, included in
the Company's 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Security and
Exchange Commission (SEC).
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company's
subsidiary, Carrollton Bank, Carrollton Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Carrollton Mortgage Services, Inc. ("CMSI"), Carrollton Financial Services, Inc.
("CFS"), Mulberry Street, LLC ("MSLLC"), and Carrollton Bank's 96.4% owned
subsidiary, Carrollton Community Development Corporation ("CCDC") (collectively,
the "Bank"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2009 and for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are unaudited but include all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company
considers necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of
operations for those periods. The results of operations for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that will be achieved for the entire year.
Accounting Standards Codification. The Financial Accounting Standards
Board's (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) became effective on July
1, 2009. At that date, the ASC became FASB's officially recognized source of
authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to
all public and non-public non-governmental entities, superseding existing FASB,
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF) and related literature. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC
under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative
GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature is considered
non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the way companies refer to U.S.
GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Citing particular content
in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through
the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company accounts for derivative instruments and hedging activities
utilizing accounting guidance established for Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. The Company recognizes all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measures
those instruments at fair value using Level 2 inputs as defined in Note 7.
Changes in fair value of derivatives designated and accounted for as cash flow
hedges, to the extent they are effective as hedges, are recorded in "Other
Comprehensive Income," net of deferred taxes. Any hedge ineffectiveness would be
recognized in the income statement line item pertaining to the hedged item.
Management periodically reviews contracts from various functional areas of
the Company to identify potential derivatives embedded within selected
contracts. Management has identified potential embedded derivatives in certain
loan commitments for residential mortgages where the Company has intent to sell
to an outside investor. Due to the short-term nature of these loan commitments
and the minimal historical dollar amount of commitments outstanding, the
corresponding impact on the Company's financial condition and results of
operation has not been material.
The Company entered into an interest rate Floor transaction on December 14,
2005. The Floor has a notional amount of $10.0 million with a minimum interest
rate of 7.00% based on U.S. prime rate and was initiated to hedge exposure to
the variability in the future cash flows derived from adjustable rate home
equity loans in a declining interest rate environment. The Floor has a term of
five years. This interest rate Floor is designated a cash flow hedge, as it is
designed to reduce variation in overall changes in cash flow below the above
designated strike level associated with the first Prime based interest payments
received each period on its then existing loans. The interest rate of these
loans will change whenever the repricing index changes, plus or minus a credit
spread (based on each loan's underlying credit characteristics), until the
maturity of the interest rate Floor. Should the Prime rate index fall below the
strike level of the Floor prior to maturity, the Floor's counterparty will pay
the Bank the difference between the strike rate and the rate index multiplied by
the notional value of the Floor multiplied by the number of days in the period
divided by 360 days. The estimated fair value of the Floor at September 30, 2009
was $353,000 and is recorded in "Other Assets" and changes in the fair value are
recorded as "Other Comprehensive Income," a component of shareholders' equity.
The bank counterparty to the interest rate floor exposes the Company to
credit-related losses in the event of its non-performance. The Company monitors
ratings, and potential downgrades of the counterparty on at least a quarterly
basis.

Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale
securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are
reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related
to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is
recognized in other comprehensive income. Management evaluates securities for
other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more
frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.
Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the
fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term
prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain
its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any
anticipated recovery in fair value.
Management has the ability and intent to hold the securities classified as
held to maturity in the table above until they mature, at which time, the
Company will receive full value for the securities. Furthermore, as of September
30, 2009, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities
classified as available for sale in the table above and believes that it is more
likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities
before a recovery of cost. The unrealized losses, except for the trust preferred
securities described below, are largely due to increases in market interest
rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were
purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their
maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments
decline. Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to
reasons of credit quality. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2009, management
believes the impairments detailed in the table above except for the trust
preferred securities described below are temporary and no impairment loss has
been realized in the Company's consolidated income statement.
At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company owned five
collateralized debt obligation securities that are backed by trust preferred
securities issued by banks, thrifts, and insurance companies ("TRUP CDOs"). The
market for these securities at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was not
active and markets for similar securities were also not active. The inactivity
was evidenced first by a significant widening of the bid-ask spread in the
brokered markets in which TRUP CDOs trade and then by a significant decrease in
the volume of trades relative to historical levels. The new issue market is also
inactive as no new TRUP CDOs have been issued since 2007. There are currently
very few market participants who are willing or able to transact for these
securities.
The market values for these securities (and any securities other than those
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury) are very depressed relative to
historical levels. Thus, in today's market, a low market price for a particular
bond may only provide evidence of stress in the credit markets in general versus
being an indicator of credit problems with a particular issuer.
Given conditions in the debt markets today and the absence of observable
transactions in the secondary and new issue markets, we determined:
o The few observable transactions and market quotations that are
available are not reliable for purposes of determining fair value at
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008;
o An income valuation approach technique (present value technique) that
maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use
of unobservable inputs will be equally or more representative of fair
value than the market approach valuation technique used at prior
measurement dates; and
o Our TRUP CDOs will be classified within Level 3 of the fair value
hierarchy because we determined that significant adjustments are
required to determine fair value at the measurement date.

The following table (Dollars in Thousands) lists the class, credit rating,
deferrals and defaults of the five trust preferred securities (PreTSL):

XXIV C-1 Caa3 203,300 18.5 96,000 8.7
Based on qualitative considerations such as a down grade in credit rating
or further defaults of underlying issuers during the quarter, and an analysis of
expected cash flows, we determined that one TRUP CDO included in corporate bonds
was other-than-temporarily impaired (OTTI) and wrote our investment in this TRUP
CDO down $247,000 to its present value of expected cash flows through earnings
at September 30, 2009 to properly reflect credit losses associated with this
TRUP CDO. The remaining fair value of the security was approximately $252,000 at
September 30, 2009. The issuers in these securities are primarily banks, but
some of the pools do include a limited number of insurance companies. The
Company uses the OTTI evaluation model prepared by an independent third party to
compare the present value of expected cash flows to the previous estimate to
ensure there are no adverse changes in cash flows during the quarter. The OTTI
model considers the structure and term of the TRUP CDO and the financial
condition of the underlying issuers. Specifically, the model details interest
rates, principal balances of note classes and underlying issuers, the timing and
amount of interest and principal payments of the underlying issuers, and the
allocation of the payments to the note classes. Cash flows are projected using a
forward rate LIBOR curve, as these TRUP CDOs are variable rate instruments. The
current estimate of expected cash flows is based on the most recent trustee
reports and any other relevant market information including announcements of
interest payment deferrals or defaults of underlying trust preferred securities.
Assumptions used in the model include expected future default rates and
prepayments.
NOTE 4 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
At the Company's annual shareholders meeting on May 15, 2007, the 2007
Equity Plan was approved. Under this plan, 500,000 shares of the Common Stock of
the Company were reserved for issuance. Also, in accordance with the 2007 Equity
Plan, 300 shares of unrestricted Company Stock are issued to each non-employee
director in May of each year. One director received cash in lieu of stock due to
restrictions by his/her employer on receiving stock of a company. Also, in
accordance with the 2007 Equity Plan, 300 shares were awarded to each new
director as of the effective date of their acceptance onto the board. No new
grants will be made under the 1998 Long Term Incentive Plan. However, incentive
stock options issued under this plan will remain outstanding until exercised or
until the tenth anniversary of the grant date of such options.
Stock option expense recognized was $1,593 during the first nine months of
2009 compared to $5,486 during the first nine months of 2008. As of September
30, 2009, there was $531 of unrecognized stock option expense related to
nonvested stock options, which will be recognized over the remaining vesting
period.
Stock option compensation expense is the estimated fair value of options
granted amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award
(3 years).
NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company enters into off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course
of business. These arrangements consist primarily of commitments to extend
credit, lines of credit and letters of credit. The Company applies the same
credit policies to these off-balance sheet arrangements as it does for
on-balance-sheet instruments.
Additionally, the Company enters into commitments to originate residential
mortgage loans to be sold in the secondary market, where the interest rate is
determined prior to funding the loan. The commitments on mortgage loans to be
sold are considered to be derivatives. The intent is that the borrower has
assumed the interest rate risk on the loan. As a result, the Company is not
exposed to losses due to interest rate changes. As of September 30, 2009, the
difference between the market value and the carrying amount of these commitments
is immaterial and therefore, no gain or loss has been recognized in the
financial statements.

NOTE 6 - TARP CAPITAL PURCHASE PROGRAM
On February 13, 2009, as part of the TARP Capital Purchase Program, the
Company entered into a Letter Agreement, and the related Securities Purchase
Agreement - Standard Terms (collectively, the "Purchase Agreement"), with the
United States Department of the Treasury ("Treasury"), pursuant to which the
Company issued (i) 9,201 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred
Stock, Series A, liquidation preference $1,000 per share ("Series A Preferred
Stock"), and (ii) a warrant to purchase 205,379 shares of the Company's common
stock, par value $1.00 per share at $6.72 per share at any time on or before
February 13, 2019. Treasury has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect
to any shares of common stock issued upon exercise of the warrant. The Series A
Preferred Stock and the warrant were issued in a transaction exempt from
registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Company raised $9,201,000 through the sale of the Series A Preferred
Stock which will qualify as Tier 1 capital. With the full amount of the
Treasury's investment, on a pro-forma basis, at December 31, 2008, the Company's
Tier I capital ratio would increase to approximately 12.78% and total risk-based
capital ratio would increase to approximately 13.84%. The Series A Preferred
Stock will pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum until February 15,
2014. Beginning February 16, 2014, the dividend rate will increase to 9% per
annum. Dividends are payable quarterly. On May 15, 2009 and August 15, 2009, the
Company paid dividends totaling $232,581.
The recently enacted American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 permits
the Company to redeem the Series A preferred stock without regard to the
limitations in the Articles Supplementary to the Company's Articles of
Incorporation. The Company may, at its option, with prior regulatory approval,
redeem shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time and
from time to time, for cash at a per share amount equal to the sum of the
liquidation preference per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to but
excluding the redemption date.
The Purchase Agreement also subjects the Company to certain of the
executive compensation limitations included in the Emergency Economic
Stabilization Act of 2008 (the "EESA"). As a condition to the closing of the
transaction, Robert A. Altieri, James M. Uveges, Gary M. Jewell, William D.
Sherman, and Lola B. Stokes (the Company's Senior Executive Officers, as defined
in the Purchase Agreement) each: (i) voluntarily waived any claim against the
Treasury or the Company for any changes to such Senior Executive Officer's
compensation or benefits that are required to comply with the regulation issued
by the Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase Program as published in the
Federal Register on October 20, 2008 and acknowledging that the regulation may
require modification of the compensation, bonus, incentive and other benefit
plans, arrangements and policies and agreements (including so-called "golden
parachute" agreements) as they relate to the period the Treasury holds any
equity or debt securities of the Company acquired through the TARP Capital
Purchase Program; and (ii) entered into an amendment to Messer's Altieri,
Uveges, Jewell and Mrs. Stokes employment agreements that provide that any
severance payments made to such officers have been reduced, as necessary, so as
to comply with the requirements of the TARP Capital Purchase Program.
The Treasury's current consent shall be required for any increase in the
common dividends per share until February 13, 2012 unless prior to such date,
the Series A preferred stock is redeemed in whole or the Treasury has
transferred all of the Series A Preferred Stock to third parties.
NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the
transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal
market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the
most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal
(or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or
liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is
a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the
measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary
for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced
transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market
that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv)
willing to transact.
In estimating fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that
are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost
approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information
generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and
liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future
amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a
discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would
be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation
techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in
pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that
reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or
unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions
about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability developed based on the best information available in the
circumstances. In that regard, accounting guidance establishes a fair value
hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
12
NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED)
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) or identical assets or liabilities in
active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement
date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices,
such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in
markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be
corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company's own
assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing
an asset or liability.
The Company uses the following methods and significant assumptions to
estimate fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities:
Securities available for sale: The fair value of securities available for
sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized
securities exchanges. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is
determined using quoted market prices for similar securities. Equity securities
are reported at fair value using Level 1 inputs.
Derivatives: Derivatives are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2
inputs. The Company obtains dealer quotations to value its interest rate floor.
For purposes of potential valuation adjustments to its derivative position, the
Company evaluates the credit risk of its counterparty. Accordingly, the Company
has considered factors such as the likelihood of default by the counterparty and
the remaining contractual life, among other things, in determining if any fair
value adjustment related to credit risk is required.
Loans held for sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is determined,
when possible, using quoted secondary-market prices. If no such quoted pricing
exists, the fair value of a loan is determined using quoted prices for a similar
asset or assets, adjusted for the specific attributes of that loan.
Impaired loans and other real estate owned: Nonrecurring fair value
adjustments to loans and other real estate owned ("OREO") reflect full or
partial write-downs that are based on the loans or OREO's observable market
price or current appraised value of the collateral in accordance with
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan". Since the market for
impaired loans and OREO is not active, loans or OREO subjected to nonrecurring
fair value adjustments based on the current appraised value of the collateral
may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the type of asset and the
inputs to the valuation. When appraisals are used to determine impairment and
these appraisals are based on a market approach incorporating a
dollar-per-square-foot multiple, the related loans or OREO are classified as
Level 2. If the appraisals require significant adjustments to market-based
valuation inputs or apply an income approach based on unobservable cash flows to
measure fair value, the related loans or OREO subjected to nonrecurring fair
value adjustments are typically classified as Level 3 due to the fact that Level
3 inputs are significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table represents the Company's financial assets measured at
fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009:
Carrying Value at September 30, 2009:
Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3)

During the first nine months of 2009, the Company recognized $247,000 of
other-than-temporary impairment charges related to a debt security issued by
financial institutions.
Certain other assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower of cost
or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment.
For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the first nine
months of 2009 that were still held in the balance sheet at period end, the
following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine
each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets at

During the first nine months of 2009, the Company recognized losses related
to certain assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (i.e.
loans and loans held for sale). Approximately $998,000 of losses related to
loans were recognized as chargeoffs for loan losses. There was a $29,000 write
down of OREO properties and $77,000 of net losses on sales of OREO properties.
During the first nine months of 2009, there were no losses related to loans held
for sale accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value.

NOTE 9 - NEW AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
As discussed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, on
July 1, 2009, the Accounting Standards Codification became FASB's officially
recognized source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities, superseding
existing FASB, AICPA, EITF and related literature. Rules and interpretive
releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws are also
sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting
literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the
away companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting
policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique
numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph
structure.
"Investments - Debt and Equity Securities." New authoritative accounting
guidance under "Investments - Debt and Equity Securities," (i) changes existing
guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to debt
securities and (ii) replaces the existing requirement that the entity's
management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired
security until recovery with a requirement that management assert: (a) it does
not have the intent to sell the security; and (b) it is more likely than not it
will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. Declines
in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below
their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings
as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The
amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other
comprehensive income. The Corporation adopted the provisions of the new
authoritative accounting guidance during the first quarter of 2009. Adoption of
the new guidance did not significantly impact the Company's financial
statements.
"Compensation - Retirement Benefits." New authoritative accounting guidance
under "Compensation - Retirement Benefits," provides guidance related to an
employer's disclosures about plan assets of defined benefit pension or other
post-retirement benefit plans. Under this guidance, disclosures should provide
users of financial statements with an understanding of how investment allocation
decisions are made, the factors that are pertinent to an understanding of
investment policies and strategies, the major categories of plan assets, the
inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets,
the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs on
changes in plan assets for the period and significant concentrations of risk
within plan assets. The disclosures required will be included in the Company's
financial statements beginning with the financial statements for the year-ended
December 31, 2009.
"Business Combinations." On January 1, 2009, new authoritative accounting
guidance, "Business Combinations," became applicable to the Company's accounting
for business combinations closing on or after January 1, 2009. This applies to
all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one
or more other businesses. It requires an acquirer, upon initially obtaining
control of another entity, to recognize the assets, liabilities and any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition
date. Contingent consideration is required to be recognized and measured at fair
value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later date when the amount of
that consideration may be determinable beyond a reasonable doubt. This fair
value approach replaces the cost-allocation process required under previous
accounting guidance whereby the cost of an acquisition was allocated to the
individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair
value. This guidance requires acquirers to expense acquisition-related costs as
incurred rather than allocating such costs to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed, as was previously the case under prior accounting guidance.
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise
from contingencies are to be recognized at fair value if fair value can be
reasonably estimated. If fair value of such an asset or liability cannot be
reasonably estimated, the asset or liability would generally be recognized in
accordance with ASC Topic, "Contingencies." Under ASC Topic, "Business
Combinations", the requirements of ASC Topic, "Exit or Disposal Cost
Obligations," would have to be met in order to accrue for a restructuring plan
in purchase accounting. Pre-acquisition contingencies are to be recognized at
fair value, unless it is a non-contractual contingency that is not likely to
materialize, in which case, nothing should be recognized in purchase accounting
and, instead, that contingency would be subject to the probable and estimable
recognition criteria of ASC Topic, "Contingencies."
"Consolidation." New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic,
"Consolidation," amended prior guidance to establish accounting and reporting
standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Under this ASC Topic, a non-controlling
interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest,
is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as a
component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among other
requirements, this guidance requires consolidated net income to be reported at
amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the
non-controlling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the
consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income
attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. The new
authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic, "Consolidation", became
effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 and did not have a significant
impact on the Company's financial statements.
15
NOTE 9 - NEW AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE (CONTINUED)
"Derivatives and Hedging." New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC
Topic, "Derivatives and Hedging," amends prior guidance to amend and expand the
disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities to provide
greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are
accounted for under this guidance, and (iii) how derivative instruments and
related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, results of
operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, the new authoritative
accounting guidance requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and
strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value
amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about
credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The new
authoritative accounting guidance under this ASC Topic became effective for the
Company on January 1, 2009 and the required disclosures are reported in Note
8-Interest Rate Floor Derivative.
"Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures." New authoritative accounting
guidance under ASC Topic,"Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," affirms that
the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active, is the
price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction, and
clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether there has been
a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that
asset is not active. This guidance requires an entity to base its conclusion
about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence. The
new accounting guidance amended prior guidance to expand certain disclosure
requirements. The Company adopted the new authoritative accounting guidance
under this ASC Topic during the first quarter of 2009. Adoption of the new
guidance did not significantly impact the Company's financial statements.
Further new authoritative accounting guidance (Accounting Standards Update
No. 2009-5) under Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures provides guidance for
measuring the fair value of a liability in circumstances in which a quoted price
in an active market for the identical liability is not available. In such
instances, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value utilizing a
valuation technique that uses (i) the quoted price of the identical liability
when traded as an asset, (ii) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar
liabilities when traded as assets, or (iii) another valuation technique that is
consistent with the existing principles of Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures, such as an income approach or market approach. The new
authoritative accounting guidance also clarifies that when estimating the fair
value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate
input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction
that prevents the transfer of the liability. The forgoing new authoritative
accounting guidance under Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures will be
effective for the Company's financial statements beginning October 1, 2009 and
is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial
statements.
"Financial Instruments." New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC
Topic, "Financial Instruments," requires an entity to provide disclosures about
the fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information and
amends prior guidance to require those disclosures in summarized financial
information at interim reporting periods. The new interim disclosures required
under this ASC Topic are included in Note 7 - Fair Value.
"Subsequent Events." New authoritative accounting guidance under
"Subsequent Events," establishes general standards of accounting for and
disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or available to be issued. This guidance defines
(i) the period after the balance sheet date during which a reporting entity's
management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential
recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances
under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after
the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures an
entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance
sheet date. This new authoritative accounting guidance became effective for the
Company's financial statements for periods ending after June 15, 2009 and did
not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

BUSINESS AND OVERVIEW
The Company is a bank holding company headquartered in Columbia, Maryland
with one wholly-owned subsidiary, Carrollton Bank. The Bank has four
subsidiaries, CMSI, CFS, and MSLLC which are wholly owned, and CCDC, which is
96.4% owned.
The Bank is engaged in general commercial and retail banking business with
ten branch locations. CMSI is in the business of originating residential
mortgage loans to be sold and has three branch locations. CFS provides brokerage
services to customers, MSLLC is used to dispose of other real estate owned, and
CCDC promotes, develops, and improves the housing and economic conditions of
people in Maryland.
Net income decreased 92% or $1 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease was due primarily to
the $1.3 million increase in provision for loan losses, the $494,000 increase in
noninterest expense, the $420,000 decrease in net interest income partially
offset by the $651,000 increase in noninterest income and the $586,000 decrease
in income tax expenses. The net interest margin decreased to 3.45% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 from 4.07% in the comparable period in 2008.
The Company declared a dividend of $0.04 per share to shareholders for the
fourth quarter of 2009 and paid a dividend of $0.08 per share during the first
and second quarters and $0.04 in the third quarter of 2009.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company's financial condition and results of operations are sensitive
to accounting measurements and estimates of matters that are inherently
uncertain. When applying accounting policies in areas that are subjective in
nature, management must use its best judgment to arrive at the carrying value of
certain assets. One of the most critical accounting policies applied is related
to the valuation of the loan portfolio.
A variety of estimates impact the carrying value of the loan portfolio
including the calculation of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of
underlying collateral and the timing of loan charge-offs.
The allowance for loan losses is one of the most difficult and subjective
judgments. The allowance is established and maintained at a level that
management believes is adequate to cover losses resulting from the inability of
borrowers to make required payments on loans. Estimates for loan losses are
arrived at by analyzing risks associated with specific loans and the loan
portfolio. Current trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, the views of Bank
regulators, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio and peer
comparisons are also factors. The analysis also requires consideration of the
economic climate and direction and change in the interest rate environment,
which may impact a borrower's ability to pay, legislation impacting the banking
industry and economic conditions specific to the Bank's service areas. Because
the calculation of the allowance for loan losses relies on estimates and
judgments relating to inherently uncertain events, results may differ from our
estimates.
Another critical accounting policy is related to securities. Securities are
evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in their value is other
than temporary. The term "other than temporary" is not intended to indicate a
permanent decline in value. Rather, it means that the prospects for near term
recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of
evidence to support fair values equal to, or greater than, the carrying value of
an investment. Management reviews other criteria such as magnitude and duration
of the decline, as well as the reasons for the decline, to predict whether the
loss in value is other than temporary. Once a decline in value is determined to
be other than temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a
corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Summary
Total assets increased $26.0 million to $430.1 million at September 30,
2009 compared to $404.2 million at the end of 2008. The increase was due
primarily to the $9.5 million increase in loans held for sale due to the high
demand for refinancing existing residential loans because of the low interest
rates. Loans increased by $7.8 million or 2.8% to $288.3 million during the
period. Total average interest-earning assets increased $36.5 million during the
period to $397.8 million and were 96.3% of total average assets at September 30,
2009. Total deposits increased by $47.3 million or 16.2% to $339.7 million as of
September 30, 2009 from $292.4 million as of December 31, 2008. Certificate of
deposit accounts increased $44.4 million while non-interest bearing checking and
money market accounts increased $3.3 million and $3.2 million respectively.
These increases were partially offset by a $3.8 million decrease in interest
bearing checking. Stockholders' equity increased 33.0% or $9.0 million to $36.4
million at September 30, 2009. The increase was due primarily to the $9.2
million raised by participation in the U.S. Treasury's Capital Purchase Program
through the sale of Series A Preferred Stock, net income of $91,000, all of
which was partially offset by Preferred Stock dividends paid of $233,000, Common
Stock dividends paid of $513,000 and a decrease in accumulated other
comprehensive loss of $481,000. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive
loss was due to the increase in the fair market value of the available for sale
securities partially offset by the decrease in the fair market value of the
effective cash flow hedge.
18
Investment Securities
The investment portfolio consists primarily of securities available for
sale. Securities available for sale are those securities that the Company
intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily until
maturity. These securities are carried at fair value and may be sold as part of
an asset/liability management strategy, liquidity management, interest rate risk
management, regulatory capital management or other similar factors. Investment
securities held to maturity are recorded at amortized cost.
The investment portfolio consists primarily of U.S. Government agency
securities, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, state and municipal
obligations, and equity securities. 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.
Investment securities decreased $1.6 million to $65.2 million at September
30, 2009 from $66.8 million at December 31, 2008. The Company continues to
restructure its investment portfolio to manage interest rate risk.
Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale increased $9.5 million from December 31, 2008 to
September 30, 2009 due to the increase in origination activity from the decline
in interest rates during the first nine months of 2009. Loans held for sale are
carried at the lower of cost or the committed sale price, determined on an
individual loan basis.
Loans
Gross loans increased by $8.8 million to $293.0 million at September 30,
2009 from $284.2 million at December 31, 2008. The increase was due to
originations exceeding payoffs and was partially reduced by the reclassification
of $1.4 million of loans to other real estate owned property.
Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when they are past-due 90 days as to
either principal or interest or when, in the opinion of management, the
collection of all interest and/or principal is in doubt. Management may grant a
waiver from nonaccrual status for a 90-day past-due loan that is both well
secured and in the process of collection. A loan remains on nonaccrual status
until the loan is current as to payment of both principal and interest and the
borrower demonstrates the ability to pay and remain current.
A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and
events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts
due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are
measured based on the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent
loans and at the present value of expected future cash flows using the loans'
effective interest rates for loans that are not collateral dependent.
At September 30, 2009, the Company had nineteen impaired loans totaling
approximately $5.8 million, all of which have been classified as nonaccrual. The
valuation allowance for impaired loans was $1.3 million as of September 30,
2009.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses represents management's best estimate of
probable losses in the existing loan portfolio. The Company believes the
allowance for loan losses is the critical accounting policy that requires the
most significant judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements. The allowance for loan losses is a material
estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near
term and is established through a provision for loan losses. The Company's
allowance for loan loss methodology is based on historical loan loss experience
by major category of loans and internal risk grade, specific homogenous risk
pools and specific loss allocations, with adjustments for existing economic
conditions. The provision for possible loan losses reflects loan quality trends,
including the levels and trends related to non-accrual loans, past due loans,
potential problem loans, criticized loans, and net charge-offs or recoveries,
among other factors. The provision for loan losses is determined by management
as the amount needed to replenish the allowance for loan losses, after net
charge-offs have been deducted, to a level considered adequate to absorb
inherent losses in the loan portfolio, in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Because future events
affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can
be no assurance that increases in the allowance will not be necessary if loan
quality deteriorates.
The allowance for loan losses was $4.6 million at September 30, 2009, which
was 1.58% of loans compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 2008, which was
1.12% of loans. During the first nine months of 2009, the Company experienced
net charge-offs of $880,000. The ratio of net loan losses to average loans
outstanding decreased to 0.31% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from
0.82% for the year ended December 31, 2008. The ratio of nonperforming assets,
including accruing loans past-due 90 days or more, as a percent of period-end
loans and foreclosed real estate increased to 5.02% as of September 30, 2009
compared to 3.42% at December 31, 2008.

Funding Sources
Deposits
Total deposits increased by $47.3 million or 16.2% to $339.7 million as of
September 30, 2009 from $292.4 million as of December 31, 2008. Certificate of
deposit accounts increased $44.4 million while non-interest bearing checking and
money market accounts increased $3.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively.
These increases were partially offset by a $3.8 million decrease in interest
bearing checking.
Borrowings
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) decreased $21.8 million to
$43.5 million at September 30, 2009. The increase in deposits was used to pay
down the advances. Total borrowings decreased $29.5 million to $49.9 million at
September 30, 2009, compared to $79.4 million at the end of 2008.
20
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Bank holding companies and banks are required by the Federal Reserve and
FDIC to maintain 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 Company's subsidiary bank also
exceeded the FDIC required minimum capital levels at those dates by a
substantial margin. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company
is considered well capitalized. Management knows of no conditions or events that
would change this classification.
The following table summarizes the Company's capital ratios:
Minimum
September 30, December 31, Regulatory To Be
2009 2008 Requirements Well Capitalized
------------- ------------ ------------ ----------------
Risk-based capital ratios:
Tier 1 capital 10.27% 9.84% 4.00% 6.00%
Total capital 11.47 10.91 8.00 10.00
Tier 1 leverage ratio 9.55 8.17 4.00 5.00
Total shareholders' equity increased 33.0% or $9.0 million to $36.4 million
at September 30, 2009. The increase was due primarily to the $9.2 million raised
by participation in the U. S. Treasury's Capital Purchase Program through the
sale of Series A Preferred Stock, net income of $91,000, all of which was
partially offset by Preferred Stock dividends paid of $233,000 and Common Stock
dividends paid of $513,000 and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive
loss of $481,000. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss was due
to the increase in the fair market value of the available for sale securities
partially offset by the decrease in the fair market value of the effective cash
flow hedge.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Summary
Carrollton Bancorp reported net income for the first nine months of 2009 of
$91,000 compared to $1.1 million for the comparable period in 2008. Net loss
attributable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
was $254,000 ($0.10 loss per diluted shares) compared to net income available to
common shareholder of $1.1 million ($0.42 income per diluted share) for the
prior year period. The Company's provision for loan losses increased $1.3
million to $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The
Company's earning performance in the first nine months of 2008 was impacted by
the $368,000 pretax charge to close the Wilkens drive-thru effective April 30,
2008, partially offset by the $80,000 gain related to the Visa, Inc. initial
public offering that occurred in March 2008. The net interest margin decreased
to 3.45% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from 4.07% in the
comparable period in 2008.
Return on average assets and return on average equity are key measures of a
Company's performance. Return on average assets, the product of net income
divided by total average assets, measures how effectively the Company utilizes
its assets to produce income. The Company's return on average assets for the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 0.04%, compared to 0.40% for the
corresponding period in 2008. Return on average equity, the product of net
income divided by average equity, measures how effectively the Company invests
its capital to produce income. Return on average equity for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 was 0.52%, compared to 4.51% for the corresponding
period in 2008.
Interest and fee income on loans decreased 1.1% or $155,000 as a result of
the yield on loans declining 90 basis points to 5.87% while average loans
increased $38.9 million to $314.4 million. Total interest decreased 2.8 % or
$460,000. Net interest income decreased 4.0% or $420,000 due to the compression
of the Company's net interest margin to 3.45% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 from 4.07% in the comparable period in 2008. Non-interest
income was $5.6 million compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2008, an
increase of $651,000 or 13.2%. This increase was due to the $1.2 million
increase in mortgage banking fees and gains and was partially offset by the
$80,000 decrease in service charges, $181,000 decrease in brokerage commissions,
and the $317,000 decrease in gains on securities sales due to the $247,000
other-than-temporary impairment charges related to the debt securities issued by
financial institutions compared to the one time $80,000 gain related to the
Visa, Inc. initial public offering that occurred in March 2008.
Non-interest expenses were $13.4 million for the first nine months of 2009
compared to $12.9 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of $494,000
or 3.8%. Salaries increased $385,000 due to increased commissions paid primarily
to the loan originators in the mortgage subsidiary. Because of the lower
interest rates, loan originations due to refinancing of residential loans
increased significantly in 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Other
operating expenses increased $754,000 due to the $544,000 increase in the FDIC
insurance premiums for the FDIC special assessment, average deposits increasing
$35.6 million and the one time assessment credit fully utilized as of December
31, 2008. Also, other real estate owned expenses increased $308,000 and various
loan expenses, i.e. appraisals, credit reports, and fees related to collection
of loans increased $152,000. These increases were partially offset by the
$86,000 decrease in employee benefits, primarily medical benefits and the
$60,000 decrease in professional fees due to reimbursement of legal fees from
the insurance company related to a specific claim. In 2009, there was a recovery
of $108,000 of the charges recorded in 2008 for closing the Wilkens drive-thru
due to negotiating a lease buy out from the landlord.
21
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, the amount by which interest income on
interest-earning assets exceeds interest expense on interest-bearing
liabilities, is the most significant component of the Company's earnings. Net
interest income is a function of several factors, including changes in the
volume and mix of interest-earning assets and funding sources, and market
interest rates. While management policies influence these factors, external
forces, including customer needs and demands, competition, the economic policies
of the federal government and the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve
Board, are also important.
Net interest income for the Company on a tax equivalent basis (a non-GAAP
measure) decreased from $10.7 million for the first nine months of 2008 to $10.3
million for the first nine months of 2009. This decrease in net interest income
was due primarily to the decrease in the net interest margin from 4.07% for the
first nine months of 2008 to 3.45% for the first nine months of 2009. The
decrease in net interest income from the decrease in the net interest margin was
partially offset by the $48.8 million increase in average interest-earning
assets.
Interest income on loans on a tax equivalent basis (a non-GAAP measure)
decreased 1.1% during the first nine months of 2009. The yield on loans
decreased to 5.87% during the first nine months of 2009 from 6.77% during the
first nine months of 2008. The Company continues to emphasize commercial real
estate and small business loan production.
Interest income from investment securities and overnight investments on a
tax equivalent basis (a non-GAAP measure) was $2.7 million for the first nine
months of 2009, compared to $3.0 million for the first nine months of 2008,
representing a 10.1% decrease. The investment portfolio on average increased
5.9% or $4.0 million, while the overall yield on investments decreased from
5.53% for the first nine months of 2008 to 4.96% for the first nine months of
2009. The yield on Federal Funds Sold and other interest bearing deposits
decreased to 0.10% for the first nine months of 2009 compared to 2.71% for the
same period in 2008. The Federal Reserve has set the Federal Funds rate between
0% and 25 basis points.
Interest expense was substantially the same at $6.2 million for the first
nine months of 2009 and 2008. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased
to 2.54% for the first nine months of 2009 compared to 2.91% for the first nine
months of 2008. The decrease was due to lower interest rates set by the Federal
Open Market Committee (FOMC). The decrease in the yield of interest-bearing
liabilities was offset by the $41.0 million or 14.3% increase in average
interest-bearing liabilities to $327.8 million as of September 30, 2009 from
$286.7 million as of September 30, 2008.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is determined by management as the amount to
be added to the allowance for loan losses after net charge-offs have been
deducted to bring the allowance to a level which, in management's best estimate,
is necessary to absorb probable losses within the existing loan portfolio. The
Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.3 million in the first nine
months of 2009 compared to $1.0 million in the first nine months of 2008.
Nonaccrual, restructured, foreclosed real estate, and delinquent loans over 90
days to total loans and OREO increased to 5.02% at September 30, 2009 compared
to 4.28% at September 30, 2008 and increased from 3.42% at December 31, 2008.
See the section captioned "Allowance for Loan Losses" elsewhere in this
discussion for further analysis of the provision for loan losses.
Noninterest Income
For the first nine months of 2009, non-interest income was $5.6 million
compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of $651,000 or
13%. This increase was due to the $1.2 million increase in mortgage banking fees
and gains and the $24,000 increase in Electronic Banking. These increases were
partially offset by the $80,000 decrease in service charges, the $181,000
decrease in brokerage commissions and the $317,000 decrease in gains on
securities sales due to the $247,000 other-than-temporary impairment charges
related to the debt securities issued by financial institutions compared to the
one time $80,000 gain related to the Visa, Inc. initial public offering that
occurred in March 2008.
The Company offers a variety of financial planning and investment options
to customers, through its subsidiary, CFS, and recognizes commission income as
these services are provided. Brokerage commission decreased $181,000, or 31.9%,
during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same period in
2008. Electronic banking fee income increased by $24,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 compared to the corresponding period in 2008.
Electronic banking income is comprised of three sources: national point of sale,
("POS") sponsorships, ATM fees and check card fees. The Company sponsors
merchants who accept ATM cards for purchases within various networks (i.e. STAR,
PULSE, NYCE). This national POS sponsorship income represents approximately 85%
of total electronic banking revenue. Fees from ATMs represent approximately 4%
of total electronic banking revenue. Fees from check cards and other service
charges represent approximately 11% of electronic banking revenue.
Mortgage-banking revenue increased by $1.3 million to $3.2 million in 2009
from $1.9 million in 2008. Because of the low interest rates, loan originations
due to refinancing of residential loans increased significantly in 2009,
compared to the same period in 2008. During 2004, the Company opened a mortgage
subsidiary, CMSI. Our mortgage-banking business is structured to provide a
source of fee income largely from the process of originating residential
mortgage loans for sale on the secondary market, as well as the origination of
loans to be held in our loan portfolio. Mortgage-banking products include
Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") and the federal Veterans Administration
("VA") loans, conventional and nonconforming first and second mortgages, and
construction and permanent financing.
The Company incurred losses on securities sales of $235,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, compared to gains of $81,000 on the sales of
equity securities for the same period in 2008. The $317,000 decrease in gains on
security sales was due to the $247,000 other-than-temporary impairment charge
related to the debt securities issued by financial institutions compared to the
$80,000 gain related to the Visa, Inc. initial public offering that occurred in
March 2008.
Noninterest Expense
Non-interest expenses were $13.4 million for the first nine months of 2009
compared to $12.9 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of $494,000
or 3.8%. Salaries increased $385,000 due to increased commissions paid primarily
to the loan originators in the mortgage subsidiary. Because of the low interest
rates, loan originations due to refinancing of residential loans increased
significantly in 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. Other operating
expenses increased $754,000 due to the $544,000 increase in the FDIC insurance
premiums for the FDIC special assessment, average deposits increasing $35.6
million and the one time assessment credit fully utilized as of December 31,
2008. Also, other real estate owned expenses increased $308,000 and various loan
expenses, i.e. appraisals, credit reports, and fees related to collection of
loans increased $152,000. These increases were partially offset by the $86,000
decrease in employee benefits, primarily medical benefits and the $60,000
decrease in professional fees due to reimbursement of legal fees from the
insurance company related to a specific claim. In 2009, there was a recovery of
$108,000 of the charges recorded in 2008 for closing the Wilkens drive-thru due
to negotiating a lease buy out from the landlord.
25
Income Taxes
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded a
tax benefit of $224,000 compared to a tax expense of $363,000 (effective tax
rate was 24.7%) for the same period in 2008. The effective tax rate may
fluctuate from year to year due to changes in the mix of tax-exempt loans and
investments.
Results of Operations - Third Quarter 2009 and 2008
Net loss for the third quarter of 2009 was $594,000 compared to net income
of $51,000 for the third quarter of 2008, a $644,000 decrease. Net loss
attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2009 was $732,000
($0.28 loss per diluted share) compared to net income available to common
shareholders of $51,000 ($0.02 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2008.
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.6 million in the third
quarter of 2009 compared to $799,000 in the same period of 2008. The allowance
for loan losses represented 1.58% of outstanding loans as of September 30, 2009
compared to 1.31% at September 31, 2008. Non-performing assets totaled $14.8
million at September 30, 2009 compared to $9.8 million at December 31, 2008 and
$12.1 million at September 30, 2008.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, net interest income declined 8.5%
or $298,000 to $3.2 million. The $298,000 decrease in net interest income was
due to the 60 basis point decrease in the Company's net interest margin to 3.25%
for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 from 3.85% in the comparable quarter in
2008. This decrease was partially offset by the $33.3 million increase in
average interest-earning assets.
Non-interest income continues to be a large contributor to the Company's
profitability. The majority of the Company's non- interest income is derived
from three sources: the Bank's Electronic Banking Division, Carrollton Mortgage
Services, Inc. and Carrollton Financial Services, Inc. Non-interest income was
$1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of 5.2%
or $85,000, compared to the corresponding period in 2008. This increase was due
to the $397,000 increase in mortgage banking fees and gains and the $46,000
increase in Electronic Banking. These increases were partially offset by the
$33,000 decrease in service charges, the $36,000 decrease in brokerage
commissions and the $245,000 security losses due primarily to the
other-than-temporary impairment charges related to debt securities issued by
financial institutions.
Non-interest expenses were substantially the same at $4.4 million for the
quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. Salaries increased $144,000 due to
increased commissions paid primarily to the loan originators in the mortgage
subsidiary. Because of the lower interest rates, loan originations due to
refinancing of residential loans increased significantly in 2009 compared to the
same period in 2008. Other operating expenses increased $85,000 due to the
$137,000 increase in the FDIC insurance premiums from the effect of the $61.8
million increase in deposits and the one time assessment credit fully utilized
as of December 31, 2008. Also, credit expenses relating to OREO increased
$95,000 and various loan expenses, such as appraisals, credit reports, and fees
related to collection of loans increased $91,000. These increases were partially
offset by the $41,000 decrease in employee benefits, primarily medical expenses,
and a $14,000 decrease in professional fees due primarily to a reimbursement of
legal fees from the insurance company related to a specific claim. The Corporate
Headquarter and the Operations Center were relocated to Columbia, Maryland in
March 2009 and various costs decreased in the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
In 2009, there was a recovery of $108,000 of the charges recorded in 2008 for
closing the Wilkens drive-thru due to negotiating a lease buy out from the
landlord.
26
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Liquidity
Liquidity describes the ability of the Company to meet financial
obligations, including lending commitments and contingencies, which arise during
the normal course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the
borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of the customers of the Company,
as well as to meet current and planned expenditures.
The Company's liquidity is derived primarily from its deposit base and
equity capital. Additionally, liquidity is provided through the Company's
portfolios of cash and interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds
sold, loans held for sale, and securities available for sale. Such assets
totaled $107.2 million or 25% of total assets at September 30, 2009.
The borrowing requirements of customers include commitments to extend
credit and the unused portion of lines of credit, which totaled $106 million at
September 30, 2009. Of this total, management places a high probability of
required funding within one year of approximately $54.0 million. The amount
remaining is unused home equity lines and other consumer lines on which
management places a low probability of funding.
The Company also has external sources of funds through the FRB and FHLB,
which can be drawn upon when required. There is a line of credit totaling
approximately $82 million with the FHLB based on qualifying loans pledged as
collateral. In addition, the Company can pledge securities at the FRB and FHLB
and borrow approximately 97% of the fair market value of the securities. The
Company had $29.5 million of securities pledged at the FHLB under which the
Company's subsidiary, Carrollton Bank, could have borrowed approximately $28.6
million. Also, Carrollton Bank has $7.9 million of securities pledged at FRB
under which it could have borrowed approximately $7.7 million. Outstanding
borrowings at the FHLB were $43.5 million at September 30, 2009. Additionally,
the Company has an unsecured federal funds line of credit of $5.0 million and a
$10.0 secured federal funds line of credit with other institutions. The secured
federal funds line of credit with another institution would require Carrollton
Bank to transfer securities pledged at the FHLB or FRB to this institution
before Carrollton Bank could borrow against this line. There was no balance
outstanding under these lines at September 30, 2009. These lines bear interest
at the current federal funds rate of the correspondent bank.
MARKET RISK AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
The Company's interest rate risk represents the level of exposure it has to
fluctuations in interest rates and is primarily measured as the change in
earnings and the theoretical market value of equity that results from changes in
interest rates. The Asset/Liability Management Committee of the Board of
Directors (the "ALCO") oversees the Company's management of interest rate risk.
The objective of the management of interest rate risk is to optimize net
interest income during periods of volatile as well as stable interest rates
while maintaining a balance between the maturity and repricing characteristics
of assets and liabilities that is consistent with the Company's liquidity, asset
and earnings growth, and capital adequacy goals.
Due to changes in interest rates, the level of income for a financial
institution can be affected by the repricing characteristics of its assets and
liabilities. At September 30, 2009, the Company is in an asset sensitive
position. Management continuously takes steps to reduce higher costing fixed
rate funding instruments, while increasing assets that are more fluid in their
repricing. An asset sensitive position, theoretically, is favorable in a rising
rate environment since more assets than liabilities will reprice in a given time
frame as interest rates rise. Management works to maintain a consistent spread
between yields on assets and costs of deposits and borrowings, regardless of the
direction of interest rates.
INFLATION
Inflation may be expected to have an impact on the Company's operating
costs and thus on net income. A prolonged period of inflation could cause
interest rates, wages, and other costs to increase and could adversely affect
the Company's results of operations unless the fees charged by the Company could
be increased correspondingly. However, the Company believes that the impact of
inflation was not material for the first nine months of 2009 or 2008.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company enters into off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course
of business. These arrangements consist primarily of commitments to extend
credit, lines of credit, and letters of credit. In addition, the Company has
certain operating lease obligations.
27
Credit commitments 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 of
credit, 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 its commitments.

For information regarding the market risk of the Company's financial
instruments, see "Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity" in Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as those terms
are defined in Exchange Act Rules 240-13-a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) that are

chief executive officer and the chief financial officer. Neither the chief
executive officer nor the chief financial officer is aware of any significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Company's internal controls.
PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
