NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

	1.		BASIS OF PRESENTATION
			General. The consolidated financial statements of Tri-County Financial Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Community Bank of Tri-County (the “Bank”) included herein are unaudited; however, they reflect all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring accruals that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The balances as of December 31, 2005 have been derived from audited financial statements. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies as disclosed in the 2005 Annual Report. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the remainder of the year or any other period. Certain previously reported amounts have been restated to conform to the 2006 presentation.
			These consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2005.
	2.		NATURE OF BUSINESS
			The Company, through its bank subsidiary, provides domestic financial services primarily in southern Maryland. The primary financial services include real estate, commercial and consumer lending, as well as traditional demand deposits and savings products.
	3.		INCOME TAXES
			The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as required by SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under the liability method, deferred-tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities (i.e., temporary differences) and are measured at the enacted rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse.
	4.		EARNINGS PER SHARE
			Earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including any potential dilutive common shares outstanding, such as options and warrants. As of September 30, 2006, there were no shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation. Basic and diluted earnings per share, have been computed based on weighted-average common and common equivalent shares outstanding as follows:

		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
		September 30,								September 30,
		2006				2005				2006				2005
Basic			2,639,868				2,600,834				2,640,477				2,598,314
Diluted			2,824,308				2,701,296				2,819,123				2,769,467

			Share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect the three for two common stock splits effected on December 12, 2005 and announced on October 25, 2006 as if they had occurred on January 1, 2005.

	5.		STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
			The Company has stock option and incentive plans to attract and retain key personnel in order to promote the success of the business. These plans are described in note 12 to the financial statements included in our Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2005. Prior to 2006, the Company applied the intrinsic value method as outlined in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”) and related interpretations in accounting for stock options granted. Under the intrinsic value method, no compensation expense was recognized if the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equaled the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant. Accordingly, no compensation cost was recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of earnings prior to 2006 on stock options granted to employees or directors, since all options granted under the Company’s incentive programs had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
			Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). This statement replaced SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation” and superseded APB No. 25. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that all stock-based compensation be recognized as an expense in the financial statements and that such cost be measured at the fair value of the award. This statement was adopted using the modified prospective method of application, which requires the Company to recognize compensation expense on a prospective basis. Therefore, prior period financial statements have not been restated. Under this method, in addition to reflecting compensation expense for new share-based awards, expense is also recognized to reflect the remaining service period of outstanding awards that had been included in pro forma disclosures in prior periods. As of December 31, 2005, all outstanding options were fully vested, so no expense will be recognized for options outstanding as of that date. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires that excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises be reflected as financing cash flows instead of operating cash flows.
			The Company and the Bank currently maintain incentive plans which provide for payments to be made in either cash or stock options. The Company has accrued the full amounts due under these plans, but currently it is not possible to identify the portion that will be paid out in the form of stock options.
			The following table illustrates the effect on the net earnings per common share if the fair value method had been applied to all outstanding awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005:

		Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
		September 30, 2005				September 30, 2005
Net Income as reported		$	990,067			$	3,093,517
Less pro forma stock based compensation:
Expense determined under fair value method, net of tax effects.			(45,979	)			(239,592	)
Pro forma net income		$	944,088			$	2,853,925
Net income per share
Basic - as reported		$	0.38			$	1.19
Basic - pro forma		$	0.36			$	1.10
Diluted - as reported		$	0.35			$	1.12
Diluted - pro forma		$	0.34			$	1.03

A summary of the Company’s stock option plans as of September 30, 2006 and changes during the nine-month period then ended is presented below:

						Weighted								Weighted-Average
						Average				Aggregate				Contractual Life
						Exercise				Intrinsic				Remaining In
		Shares				Price				Value				Years
Outstanding at December 31, 2005			444,753			$	13.59
Granted at fair value			—				—
Exercised			(9,770	)			8.57
Expired			—				—
Forfeited			(7,734	)			12.85
Outstanding at September 30, 2006			427,250			$	13.72			$	4,250,754				5.5
Exercisable at September 30, 2006			427,250			$	13.72			$	4,250,754				5.5

Share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect the three for two common stock splits effected on December 12, 2005 and announced on October 25, 2006 as if they had occurred on January 1, 2005.

GUARANTEED PREFERRED BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

On June 15, 2005, Tri County Capital Trust II (“Capital Trust II”), a Delaware business trust formed, funded and wholly owned by the Company, issued $5,000,000 of variable-rate capital securities with an interest rate of 5.07% in a private pooled transaction. The variable rate is based on the 90 day LIBOR rate plus 1.70% and adjusts quarterly. The Trust used the proceeds from this issuance to purchase $5.2 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The interest rate on the debentures is identical to the interest rate on the trust preferred securities. The Company has, through various contractual arrangements, fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of Capital Trust II’s obligations with respect to the capital securities. These capital securities qualify as Tier I capital and are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in Junior Subordinated Debentures.” Both the capital securities of Capital Trust II and the junior subordinated debentures are scheduled to mature on June 15, 2035, unless called by the Company not earlier than June 15, 2010.

			On July 22, 2004, Tri County Capital Trust I (“Capital Trust I”), a Delaware business trust formed, funded and wholly owned by the Company, issued $7,000,000 of variable-rate capital securities with an interest rate of 4.22% in a private pooled transaction. The variable rate is based on the 90 day LIBOR rate plus 2.60% and adjusts quarterly. The Trust used the proceeds from this issuance to purchase $7.2 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The interest rate on the debentures is identical to the interest rate on the trust preferred securities. The Company has, through various contractual arrangements, fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of Capital Trust I’s obligations with respect to the capital securities. These capital securities qualify as Tier I capital and are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in Junior Subordinated Debentures.” Both the capital securities of Capital Trust I and the junior subordinated debentures are scheduled to mature on July 22, 2034, unless called by the Company not earlier than July 22, 2009.
			Costs associated with the issuance of the trust-preferred securities were less than $10,000 and were expensed as period costs.
	7.		NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
			In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” which amends SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS 155 simplifies the accounting for certain derivative embedded in other financial instruments by allowing them to be accounted for as a whole if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS 155 also clarifies and amends certain other provisions of SFAS 133 and SFAS 140. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a re-measurement event occurring in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted, provided the Company has not yet issued financial statements, including for interim periods, for that fiscal year. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
			In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets” which amends SFAS No. 14 and SFAS 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. The statement permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value.

EITF 06-2 provides guidelines under which sabbatical leave or other similar benefits provided to an employee are considered to accumulate, as defined in SFAS 43. If such benefits are deemed to accumulate, then the compensation cost associated with a sabbatical or other similar benefit arrangement should be accrued over the requisite service period. The provisions of the EITF are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and allow for either retrospective application or a cumulative effect adjustment approach upon adoption.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

This document may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including discussions of Tri-County Financial Corporation’s (the “Company”) goals, strategies and expected outcomes; estimates of risks and future costs; and reports of the Company’s ability to achieve its financial and other goals. Forward-looking statements are generally preceded by terms such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties because they are based upon future economic conditions, particularly interest rates, competition within and without the banking industry, changes in laws and regulations applicable to the Company and various other matters. Additional factors that may affect our results are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) under Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” Because of these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake-and specifically disclaims any obligation-to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

GENERAL

The Company is a bank holding company organized in 1989 under the laws of the State of Maryland. It owns all the outstanding shares of capital stock of Community Bank of Tri-County (the “Bank”), a Maryland-chartered commercial bank. The Company engages in no significant activity other than holding the stock of the Bank, the payment of its subordinated debt, and operating the business of the Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank and its subsidiaries.

The Bank serves the Southern Maryland area through its main office and eight branches located in Waldorf, Bryans Road, Dunkirk, Leonardtown, La Plata, Charlotte Hall, Prince Frederick and California, Maryland. The Bank is engaged in commercial and retail banking business as authorized by the banking statutes of the State of Maryland and applicable Federal regulations. The Bank accepts demand and time deposits and uses these funds along with borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), to fund loan originations to individuals, associations, partnerships and corporations. The Bank makes real estate loans, including residential first and second mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit and commercial mortgage loans. The Bank also makes secured and unsecured commercial and consumer loans. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve and FHLB Systems. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) provides deposit insurance coverage up to applicable limits.

Since its conversion to a state chartered commercial bank in 1997, the Bank has sought to increase its commercial, commercial real estate, construction, second mortgage, home equity and consumer lending business, as well as the level of transactional deposits to levels consistent with similarly sized commercial banks. As a result of this emphasis, the Bank’s percentage of assets invested in residential first mortgage lending has declined since 1997. Conversely, targeted loan types have increased. The Bank has also seen an increase in transactional deposit accounts while the percentage of total liabilities represented by certificates of deposits has declined. Management believes that these changes will enhance the Bank’s overall long-term financial performance.

Management recognizes that the shift in composition of the Bank’s loan portfolio will tend to increase its exposure to credit losses. The Bank continues to evaluate its allowance for loan losses and the associated provision to compensate for the increased risk. Any evaluation of the allowance for loan losses is inherently inexact and reflects management’s expectations as to future economic conditions in the Southern Maryland area as well as individual borrower’s circumstances. Management believes that its allowance for loan losses is adequate. For further information on the Bank’s allowance for loan losses see the discussion in the sections captioned “Financial Condition” and “Critical Accounting Policies” as well as the relevant discussions in the Form 10-K and Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

For several quarters, the Federal Reserve signaled a resolve to control inflation through successive increases in the targeted Federal Funds rate. These increases pushed the Federal Funds rate from 1.0% in June 2004 to 5.25%. After an increase in June 2006, the Federal Reserve has not increased rates at the August or September 2006 meetings. The

Federal Reserve has declared that future changes in the funds rate will be “data dependent.” These increases had the effect of “flattening” the yield curve as long-term rates have generally not increased the same amount as short-term rates. We believe that we are positioned to perform well in a moderate rate increase or decrease environment; however, substantially higher or substantially lower interest rates could negatively affect our future financial performance. This would be true if key interest rates increased funding costs faster than they increased yields on interest-earning assets. Our ability to increase asset yields in a rising interest rate environment is limited by periodic and lifetime caps on interest rates embedded in many of our loans and investments. In addition, certain of our loans and investments are for fixed rates. Moreover, substantially higher interest rates would tend to increase borrowing costs for our customers with adjustable-rate borrowings and might lead to an increase in loan delinquency caused by borrowers’ inability to pay these higher costs. Substantially lower interest rates might lead to accelerated prepayment of our interest-earning assets while many of our liabilities would remain at today’s higher rates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006

Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 totaled $3,135,125 ($1.19 basic and $1.11 diluted earnings per share) compared to $3,093,517 ($1.19 basic and $1.12 diluted earnings per share) for the same period in the prior year. This increase of $41,608, or 1.35%, was caused by increases in net interest income and noninterest income partially offset by increases in noninterest expense and the provision for loan losses.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, interest income increased by $5,032,962, or 23.64%, to $26,314,671. The increase was due to higher average balances of interest-earning assets and higher rates earned on these assets. Higher interest rates on assets were partly the result of a higher rate environment reflecting consistent increases in the federal funds rate. In addition, the Bank continued to increase balances of commercial real estate loans and commercial lines of credit, which tend to have higher yields, and decrease balances of cash and investment securities, which tend to have lower yields. Interest expense increased to $13,363,816 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $9,745,166 in the same period in the prior year, an increase of $3,618,650, or 37.13%. The increase was the result of higher average balances and higher rates. Although overall rates paid on interest-earning liabilities increased, the Bank’s continued shifting from wholesale liabilities to retail deposits helped to control the overall amount of interest expense.

The provision for loan losses increased to $289,135 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $200,307 for the nine — month period ended September 30, 2005. The increase in the provision was caused by continued increases in the Bank’s loan portfolio, especially in commercial loans, which tend to have a higher risk of default than one-to four-family residential real estate loans. The increase also reflected higher charge-offs and non-accrual loans in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Management will continue to periodically review its allowance for loan losses and the related provision and make adjustments as deemed necessary. This review will include a review of economic conditions nationally and locally, as well as a review of the performance of significant major loans and the overall portfolio.

Total noninterest income		$	1,502,782			$	1,301,785			$	200,997				15.44	%

Loan appraisal, credit, and miscellaneous charges increased due to higher loan volumes. The decrease in gain on the sale of foreclosed property reflects that $14,677 of foreclosed property was sold in the current year compared to $39,756 in 2005, and that the property sold in the current year was sold at its current book value while the property sold in 2005 had a valuation allowance which effectively had reduced its book value to zero. Income from bank owned life insurance reflects $2,000,000 in additional policy purchases in the current year. The absence of a gain or loss on the sale of investment securities reflects that there were $0 in investment sales in 2006, compared to $1.3 million in 2005. The increase in service charges reflects higher transaction account balances as well as increased fees.

Salary and employee benefits costs increased because of increases in the number of Bank employees including several senior level employees, and increased benefits costs. Employees were added to staff an additional branch and to staff some administrative and accounting positions. In addition, the Bank’s average cost per employee has increased in the last year due to tight labor markets and the need to add highly skilled employees as the Bank grows in size and complexity. Occupancy expense increased as the Bank opened an additional branch. Advertising expenses increased as the Bank has continued to focus on increasing market presence in southern Maryland. Data processing reflects increases in the size of the Bank and the number of accounts. It also reflects the addition of several new systems to support customer growth and regulatory requirements. The income shown for legal and professional fees reflect the additional

costs of preparing the Company for Sarbanes — Oxley compliance. The current quarter reflects an offset credit for Sarbanes Oxley which was previously accrued but was negotiated to settle at a lower amount. Depreciation expense includes increases due to a remodeled home office, additional branch equipment, and preparing for the replacement of our Leonardtown branch. ATM expenses have declined due to changes in the rates paid based on the ATM provider contract. Other expenses reflect increases due to the added size of the Bank.

Income tax expense decreased to $1,629,543, or 34.20% of pretax income, in the current year, from $1,637,211, or 34.61% of pretax income, in the prior year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006

Net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 totaled $1,103,053 ($0.42 basic and $0.39 diluted earnings per share) compared to $990,067 ($0.38 basic and $0.35 diluted earnings per share) for the same period in the prior year. This increase of $112,986, or 11.41%, was caused by an increase in net interest and noninterest income partially offset by increases in the provision for loan loss and noninterest expense.

Interest income increased in 2006 due to higher average balances of assets, a higher interest rate environment and a continued shift from investments, which tend to have relatively lower interest rates, to loans such as commercial real estate loans and commercial lines of credit, which have higher interest rates. Interest expense increased due to higher average balances and the higher overall interest rate environment during 2006. These effects were partially offset by a decline in the use of wholesale funding, particularly in commercial loans which tend to have a higher risk of default. The increase in the provision also reflects an increase in charge offs and non-performing loans for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005.

The provision for loan losses increased as the Bank’s loan portfolio continued to grow.

Loan appraisal, credit and miscellaneous charges increased as the Bank increased loan types which allow for these charges. Income from bank owned life insurance increased due to higher balances in bank owned life insurance due to $2,000,000 in additional policy purchases in 2006. Service charges increased as the Bank grew in deposit and loan balances and adjusted certain fees upward.

Cash and due from banks, Federal Funds sold and interest-bearing deposits with banks decreased as the funds were used to fund growth in loans. Securities available for sale increased due to the purchase of certain mutual fund shares designed to provide credit under the Community Reinvestment Act. The effect of this additional investment was partially offset by continued repayments from the available-for-sale portfolio which were used to fund loan growth. Securities held to maturity decreased because the Bank has continued to use the proceeds from investment repayments and maturities as a source of funds to build its loan portfolio. The loan portfolio increased as a result of increases in the Bank’s portfolio of commercial real estate loans and commercial lines of credit due to continued marketing emphasis on these loan types. Foreclosed real estate decreased due to the sale of a portion of the foreclosed property. Investment in bank owned life insurance increased due to purchases of additional policies and the retention of income earned.

At September 30, 2006, the Bank’s allowance for loan losses totaled $3,667,047 or 0.88% of loan balances, as compared to $3,383,334 or 0.91% of loan balances at December 31, 2005. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on a periodic evaluation of the portfolio with consideration given to the overall loss experience; current economic conditions; volume, growth and composition of the loan portfolio; financial condition of the borrowers; and other relevant factors that, in management’s judgment, warrant recognition in providing an adequate allowance. Management believes that the allowance is adequate. Additional loan information for prior years is presented in the Form 10-K.

The following table summarizes changes in the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

Interest-bearing deposit balances increased due to the Bank’s continuing efforts to increase its market share through advertising, branch improvements, and other marketing efforts. Noninterest-bearing deposits are harder to market in a rising rate environment, and they have declined in the current period. We will continue to make marketing efforts on all deposit types in the future. Short-term borrowings decreased as deposits increased providing the funds to retire short-term borrowings. The Bank will continue to attempt to replace borrowings with deposits in the future. Long-term borrowings were also reduced as they matured using funds provided by new deposits.

Additional paid in capital increased due to the exercise of options and the proceeds of a private placement of common stock. Retained earnings increased because of net income of $3,135,125, offset by the repurchase of 12,095 shares at a cost of $419,236, and cash dividends of $0.37 per share for a total cost of $972,966. Accumulated other comprehensive income increased due to an increase in the fair value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio. Book value per share increased from $13.09 per share to $13.83 reflecting the total change in equity.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company currently has no business other than holding the stock of the Bank and payment on its subordinated debentures. Its primary uses of funds are the payment of dividends, the payment of interest and principal on debentures, and the repurchase of common shares. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and dividends received from the Bank. The Bank is subject to various regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends.

The Bank’s principal sources of funds for investments and operations are net income, deposits from its primary market area, wholesale funding sources including brokered deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances, principal and interest payments on loans, interest received on investment securities and proceeds from sale and maturity of investment securities. Its principal funding commitments are the origination or purchase of loans, the purchase of investment securities and the payment of maturing deposits. Deposits are considered a primary source of funds supporting the Bank’s lending and investment activities. The Bank also uses various wholesale funding instruments including FHLB

advances and reverse repurchase agreements. The Bank may borrow up to 40% of consolidated Bank assets on a line of credit available from the FHLB. As of September 30, 2006, the maximum available under this line would be $226 million, while outstanding advances totaled $113 million. In order to draw on this line the Bank must have sufficient collateral. Qualifying collateral includes residential one- to four-family first mortgage loans, certain second mortgage loans, certain commercial real estate loans, and various investment securities. At September 30, 2006, the Bank had pledged collateral sufficient to draw $203 million under the line.

The Bank’s most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which are cash on hand, amounts due from financial institutions, Federal Funds sold, and money market mutual funds. The levels of such assets are dependent on the Bank’s operating, financing and investment activities at any given time. The variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced by deposit flows and anticipated flows.

Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2006 totaled $15,968,622, a decrease of $6,606,618, or 29.26%, from the December 31, 2005 total of $22,575,240. This decrease was due to the use of such funds to support the increase in loans and pay down short-term borrowings.

The Bank’s principal sources of cash are its financing activities including deposits and borrowings. During the first nine months of 2006, all financing activities provided $20,927,446 in cash compared to $19,596,607 for the first nine months of 2005. The increase in cash flows from financing activities during the most recent period was principally due to a decrease in the use of cash to reduce short and long term borrowings from $69,906,982 in the first nine months of 2005 to $25,174,226 in the same period in 2006. This increase was offset by a decline in the amount of funds provided by the growth in deposits from $65,439,233 in the first nine months of 2005 to 37,002,149 in the same period in 2006. The Bank also had declining cash flows from long-term borrowings in the first nine months of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 as proceeds from long-term borrowings declined to $10,260,000 from $20,000,000 in the same period of 2005. Finally in the first nine months of 2005, the Bank realized $5,000,000 from the sale of trust preferred debentures with no corresponding sale of these debentures in 2006.

The Bank’s principal use of cash has been in investments in loans, investment securities and other assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Bank invested a total of $32,032,534 compared to $21,809,126 in 2005. The principal reasons for the decrease in cash used in investing activities were a decline in the purchases of investment securities from $25,757,687 in 2005 to $7,392,176 in 2006 and a decline in loan originations to $157,502,581 in 2006 from $129,829,322 in 2005.

REGULATORY MATTERS

The Bank is subject to Federal Reserve System capital requirements as well as statutory capital requirements imposed under Maryland law. At September 30, 2006, the Bank’s tangible, leverage and risk-based capital ratios were 8.38%, 11.04% and 11.92%, respectively. These levels are in excess of the 4.0%, 4.0% and 8.0% ratios required by the Federal Reserve System as well as the 5.0%, 5.0%, and 10% ratios required to be considered well capitalized. At September 30, 2006, the Company’s tangible, leverage and risk-based capital ratios were 8.60%, 11.32% and 12.20%, respectively. These levels are also in excess of the 4.0%, 4.0% and 8.0% ratios required by the Federal Reserve System as well as the 5.0%, 5.0%, and 10% ratios required to be considered well capitalized.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the general practices of the United States banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. The Company considers its determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation allowance on its foreclosed real estate to be critical accounting policies. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and

liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available. When these sources are not available, management makes estimates based upon what it considers to be the best available information.

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two principles of accounting: (a) Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and are estimable and (b) SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan”, which requires that losses be accrued when it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest payments according to the contractual terms of the loan. The loss, if any, is determined by the difference between the loan balance and the value of collateral, the present value of expected future cash flows, or values observable in the secondary markets.

The loan loss allowance balance is an estimate based upon management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio. Generally the allowance is comprised of a specific and a general component. The specific component consists of management’s evaluation of certain loans and their underlying collateral. Loans are examined to determine the specific allowance based upon the borrower’s payment history, economic conditions specific to the loan or borrower, or other factors that would impact the borrower’s ability to repay the loan on its contractual basis. Management assesses the ability of the borrower to repay the loan based upon any information available. Depending on the assessment of the borrower’s ability to pay the loan as well as the type, condition, and amount of collateral, management will establish an allowance amount specific to the loan.

In establishing the general component of the allowance, management analyzes non-classified and non-impaired loans in the portfolio including changes in the amount and type of loans. Management also examines the Bank’s history of write-offs and recoveries within each loan category. The state of the local and national economy is also considered. Based upon these factors the Bank’s loan portfolio is categorized and a loss factor is applied to each category. These loss factors may be higher or lower than the Bank’s actual recent average losses in any particular loan category, particularly in loan categories where the Bank is rapidly increasing the size of its portfolio. Based upon these factors, the Bank will adjust the loan loss allowance by increasing or decreasing the provision for loan losses.

Management has significant discretion in making the judgments inherent in the determination of the provision and allowance for loan losses, including in connection with the valuation of collateral, a borrower’s prospects of repayment, and in establishing allowance factors on the general component of the allowance. Changes in allowance factors will have a direct impact on the amount of the provision, and a corresponding effect on net income. Errors in management’s perception and assessment of the global factors and their impact on the portfolio could result in the allowance not being adequate to cover losses in the portfolio, and may result in additional provisions or charge-offs. For additional information regarding the allowance for loan losses, refer to Notes 1 and 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements as presented in the Company’s Form 10-K.

In addition to the loan loss allowance, the Company also maintains a valuation allowance on its foreclosed real estate. As with the allowance for loan losses the valuation allowance on foreclosed real estate is based on SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” as well as SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” These statements require that the Company establish a valuation allowance when it has determined that the carrying amount of a foreclosed asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value of a foreclosed asset is measured by the cash flows expected to be realized from its subsequent disposition. These cash flows should be reduced for the costs of selling or otherwise disposing of the asset.

In estimating the cash flow from the sale of foreclosed real estate, management must make significant assumptions regarding the timing and amount of cash flows. In cases where the real estate acquired is undeveloped land, management must gather the best available evidence regarding the market value of the property, including appraisals, cost estimates of development, and broker opinions. Due to the highly subjective nature of this evidence, as well as the limited market, long time periods involved, and substantial risks, cash flow estimates are highly subjective and subject to change. Errors regarding any aspect of the costs or proceeds of developing, selling, or otherwise disposing of foreclosed real estate could result in the allowance being inadequate to reduce carrying costs to fair value and may require an additional provision for valuation allowances.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable as the registrant has not been subject to the requirements of Item 305 of Regulation SK at a fiscal year end.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management of the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal and executive and financial officers as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon certain reasonable assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no reasonable assurance that any design of disclosure controls and procedures will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote, but the Company’s principal executive and financial officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at a reasonable assurance level.

In addition, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (to the extent that elements of internal control over financial reporting are subsumed within disclosure controls and procedures) identified in connection with the evaluation described in the above paragraph that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
