NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Community Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Community Bank of the Chesapeake (the “Bank”), (collectively, the “Company”), included herein are unaudited.
The Consolidated Financial Statements 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 Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Management believes that the included disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The balances as of December 31, 2022 have been derived from audited Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company’s accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to the 2022 Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations for the three months March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the remainder of the year or any other period.
These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Reclassification
Certain items in prior Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Nature of Operations
The Company provides financial services to individuals and businesses through its offices in Southern Maryland and Fredericksburg, Virginia. Its primary deposit products are demand, savings and time deposits, and its primary lending products are commercial and residential mortgage loans, commercial loans, construction and land development loans, home equity and second mortgages and commercial equipment loans.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amount of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses ("ACL"), real estate acquired in the settlement of loans ("OREO"), fair value of financial instruments, fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business combination, evaluating potential credit losses of investment securities and valuation of deferred tax assets.
Loans
Loans that the Company has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoff, are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, adjusted for the allowance for credit losses and any deferred fees or premiums. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees and premiums, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.
Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered credit deteriorated. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the purchase date may include statistics such as internal risk grade, past due and nonaccrual status, recent borrower credit scores and recent loan-to-value (“LTV”) percentages.
The Company considers a loan to be past due or delinquent when the terms of the contractual obligation are not met by the borrower. Loans are reviewed on a regular basis and are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is doubtful. The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well secured and in the process of collection. Non-accrual loans include certain loans that are current with all loan payments and are placed on non-accrual status due to customer operating results and cash flows. Non-accrual loans are evaluated for impairment on a loan-by-loan basis in accordance with the Company’s impairment methodology.
7
Consumer loans, excluding credit card loans, are typically charged-off no later than 90 days past due. Credit card loans are typically charged-off no later than 180 days past due. Mortgage and commercial loans are fully or partially charged-off when in management’s judgment all reasonable efforts to return a loan to performing status have occurred. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not collected from loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty (BEFD) are loans that have been modified to provide for a reduction or a delay in the payment of either interest or principal because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. A loan extended or renewed at a stated interest rate equal to the current interest rate for new debt with similar risk is not considered a BEFD modification. Once an obligation has been classified as a BEFD modification it continues to be considered a BEFD modification until paid in full or until the debt is refinanced and considered unimpaired. All BEFD modifications are assessed on a loan-by-loan basis. The Company does not participate in any specific government or Company-sponsored loan modification programs. All restructured loan agreements are individual contracts negotiated with a borrower.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans
The ACL is an estimate of the expected credit losses for loans held for investment and off-balance sheet exposures. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 326, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses" requires an immediate recognition of the credit loss expected to occur over the lifetime of a financial asset whether originated or purchased. Charge-offs are recorded to the ACL when management believes the loan is uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL. Management believes the ACL is in accordance with U.S. GAAP and in compliance with appropriate regulatory guidelines.
The ACL includes quantitative estimates of losses for collectively and individually evaluated loans. As more fully described below, the model-based quantitative estimate for collectively evaluated loans is determined using the probability of default ("PD") and loss given default ("LGD") at the segment level and applied at the loan level against the expected exposure at default ("EAD"). Qualitative adjustments to the quantitative estimate may be made using information not considered in the quantitative model.
The Bank uses a range of data to estimate expected credit losses under CECL, including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts relevant to assessing the collectability of the cash flows of the loans. Historical loss experience serves as the foundation for our estimated credit losses. Adjustments to our historical loss experience are made for differences in current loan portfolio segment credit risk characteristics such as the impact of changing unemployment rates, changes in U.S. Treasury yields, portfolio concentrations, the volume of classified loans, inflation, and other prevailing economic conditions and factors that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, or reduce the estimated value of underlying collateral. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The ACL is measured on a collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Generally, collectively assessed loans are grouped by loan type code or product type codes and assigned to a corresponding portfolio segment. Portfolio segments may be further subdivided into similar risk profile groupings based on interest rate structure, types of collateral or other terms and characteristics.
The probability of default (“PD”) calculation analyzes the historical loan portfolio over the given look back period to identify, by segment, loans that have defaulted. A default is defined as a loan that has moved to past due 90 days and greater, nonaccrual status, or experienced a charge-off during the period. The model observes loans over a 12-month window, detecting any events previously defined. This information is then used by the model to calculate annual iterative count-based PD rates for each segment. This process is then repeated for all dates within the historical data range. These averaged PD’s are used for a 12-month straight-line reversion to the historical mean. The historical data used was from mid-2006 through the most recent quarter end.
The Company utilizes reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions when estimating the ACL on loans. The model’s calculation also includes a 12-month forecasted PD based on a regression model that compares the Company’s historical loan data to various national economic metrics during the same periods. The results show the Company’s past losses having a high rate of correlation to national unemployment rates for fixed rate loans and the 10-Year U.S. Treasury for adjustable-rate loans. The model uses this information, along with the most recently published Wall Street Journal survey of sixty economists’ forecasts predicting unemployment rates out over the next four quarters to estimate the PD for the forward-looking 12-month period. These data are also used to predict credit losses at different levels of stress, including a baseline, low, high and adverse economic conditions. After the forecast period, PD rates revert to the historical mean straight line over a 12-month period for the entire data set.
The loss given default (“LGD”) calculation is based on actual losses (charge-offs, net of recoveries) at a loan level over the entire look-back period aggregated for each loan segment. The aggregate loss is divided by the exposure at default to determine an LGD rate. Defaults occurring during the look-back period are included in the denominator, whether or not a loss occurred and exposure at default is determined by the loan balance immediately preceding the default event. When the Company's data are insufficient. an industry index is used.

The exposure at default (“EAD”) calculation projects future expected balances from monthly cash flow schedules to apply PD and LGD assumptions. These are derived based on current contractual terms (balance, interest rate, payment structure), adjusted for expected voluntary prepayments. The contractual terms exclude expected extensions, renewals and modifications unless either of the following applies: management has the reasonable expectation that a loan will be restructured, or the extension or renewal option are included in the borrower contract.
On a quarterly basis, the Company uses internal portfolio credit data, such as levels of non-accrual loans, classified assets and concentrations of credit along with other external information not used in the quantitative calculation to determine qualitative adjustments.
Loans that do not share the same common risk characteristics with other loans are individually assessed. Such loans include non-accrual loans, BEFD modifications, loans classified as substandard or worse, loans that are greater than 89 days delinquent and any other loan identified by management for individual assessment. Reserves on individually assessed loans are measured on a loan-by-loan basis. Generally, consumer loans, including credit cards, are not individually assessed as the Bank's policy is to charge-off credit card loans when they become 180 days delinquent and other consumer loans when they are more than 90 days delinquent.
The methodology used to estimate the ACL is designed to be responsive to changes in portfolio credit quality and forecasted economic conditions. Changes due to new information are reflected in the pool-based allowance and in reserves assigned on an individual basis. Executive management closely monitors loss ratios, reviews the appropriateness of the ACL and presents conclusions to the Credit Risk Committee and the Audit Committee. The committees report to the Board as part of Board's quarterly review of our regulatory reporting and consolidated financial statements.
The calculation of the ACL excludes accrued interest receivable balances because these balances are reversed in a timely manner against previously recognized interest income when a loan is placed on non-accrual status.
Allowance for Credit Losses - AFS Debt securities
The Company does not presently hold any HTM debt securities and therefore is not presently required to apply a CECL methodology for an HTM investment portfolio.
The impairment model for AFS debt securities measures fair value. Although ASU No. 2016-13 replaced the legacy other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) model with a credit loss model, it retained the fundamental nature of the legacy OTTI model for AFS securities. One notable change from the legacy OTTI model is when evaluating whether credit loss exists, an entity may no longer consider the length of time fair value has been less than amortized cost. For AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either criterion is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For AFS debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors.
In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and a corresponding allowance for credit losses is recorded. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as a provision for (or reversal of) credit losses. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an AFS security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. Any impairment not recorded through an allowance for credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income as a noncredit-related impairment. As of March 31, 2023, the Company determined that the unrealized loss positions in AFS securities were not the result of credit losses, and therefore, an allowance for credit losses was not recorded. See Note 2 Investment Securities for more information.
The Bank elected to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of AFS debt securities and report accrued interest separately in accrued interest and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. AFS debt securities are placed on non-accrual status when management no longer expects to receive all contractual amounts due, which is generally at 90 days past due. Accrued interest receivable is reversed against interest income when a security is placed on non-accrual status. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize an allowance for credit loss against accrued interest receivable. The majority of AFS debt securities as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were issued by Government Sponsored Enterprises (“GSEs”) and U.S. agencies. As such, an allowance for credit losses is not considered necessary.

Collateral Dependent Financial Assets
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. For collateral dependent financial assets where the Company has determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment of the financial asset to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the asset as of the measurement date. When repayment is expected to be from the operation of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the financial asset exceeds the Net Present Value ("NPV") from the operation of the collateral. When repayment is expected to be from the sale of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which the amortized costs basis of the financial asset exceeds the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated cost to sell. The ACL may be zero if the fair value of the collateral at the measurement date exceeds the amortized cost basis of the financial asset. Subsequent changes to the fair value of collateral, for which an ACL was previously recognized, will be reported as a provision (recovery) for credit losses.
The Bank generally uses the practical expedient of the fair value of the collateral, net of estimated selling costs, to determine the expected credit loss for individually assessed collateral dependent loans.
Loan Commitments and Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposure
Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit issued to meet customer financing needs. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
The Company records a reserve for unfunded commitments (“RUC”) on off-balance sheet credit exposures through a charge to provision for credit loss expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The RUC on off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date under the CECL model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur, and is included in Other Liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a list of policies in effect as of December 31, 2022.
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
Adopted New Accounting Standard
ASU 2020-04 – Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance to provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024, as deferred under ASU 2022-06 -Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The amendments did not have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU Update 2022-02 – On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02 – Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. ASU 2022-02 eliminates the TDRs recognition and measurement guidance and, instead requires that an entity evaluate whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendments enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, ASU Update 2022-02 requires that an entity disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investment in leases. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 using a modified retrospective transition method for TDRs. The impact of adoption was immaterial. The disclosure amendments in the Update 2022-02 will be applied prospectively.

The Company elected to exclude accrued interest receivable (“AIR”) from the amortized cost basis of debt securities disclosed throughout this footnote. AFS debt securities, AIR totaled $1.8 million and $1.8 million as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. AIR is included in the “accrued interest receivable” line item on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, securities with an amortized cost of $58.3 million and $56.4 million were pledged to secure certain customer deposits.
During the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not sell any securities.
Management does not believe that the AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2023 have credit loss impairment. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the gross unrealized loss positions were primarily related to mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government sponsored enterprises. These securities carry the explicit and/or implicit guarantee of the U.S. government, are widely recognized as “risk free,” and have a long history of zero credit loss. The Company also performed credit reviews on municipal bonds issued by States and Political Subdivisions and asset backed securities issued by Student Loan Trust. Total gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities. The Company does not intend to sell the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. Management believes that the securities will either recover in market value or be paid off as agreed.

The Company has segregated its loans into portfolio loans and U.S. SBA PPP loans at December 31, 2022.
Deferred Costs/Fees
Portfolio net deferred fees of $3.9 million at March 31, 2023 included deferred fees paid by customers of $8.3 million offset by deferred costs of $4.4 million. Deferred loan costs include premiums paid for the purchase of residential first mortgages and deferred loan origination costs in accordance with ASC 310-20. Net deferred loan fees of $3.0 million at December 31, 2022 included deferred fees paid by customers of $7.3 million offset by deferred costs of $4.3 million.
U.S. SBA PPP net deferred loan fees of $8,000 at December 31, 2022 included deferred fees paid by the SBA of $9,000 offset by deferred costs of $1,000. The net deferred fees are being amortized as a component of interest income through the contractual maturity date of each U.S. SBA PPP loan. Net deferred fees include fees received by participant banks for each U.S. SBA PPP loan underwritten and funded net of costs incurred to underwrite the loans. Net deferred fees will be recognized in income when the U.S. SBA PPP loan is forgiven or paid.
Risk Characteristics of Portfolio Segments
Concentrations of Credit - Loans are primarily made within the Company’s operating footprint of Southern Maryland and the greater Fredericksburg area of Virginia. Real estate loans can be affected by the condition of the local real estate market. Commercial and industrial loans can be affected by the local economic conditions. The commercial loan portfolio has business loans secured by real estate and real estate development loans. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no loans outstanding with foreign entities.
The Company manages its credit products and exposure to credit losses (credit risk) by the following specific portfolio segments (classes), which are levels at which the Company develops and documents its allowance for loan loss methodology. These segments are:
Commercial Real Estate (“CRE”)
Commercial and other real estate projects include office, medical and professional buildings, retail locations, churches, other special purpose buildings and commercial construction. Commercial construction balances were 6.2% and 6.9% of the CRE portfolio at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Bank offers both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans under these product lines. During periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable-rate mortgage loans may increase due to the upward adjustment of interest cost to the borrower. The Bank’s adjustable rate CRE portfolio was $914.8 million or 49.6% of total portfolio loans of $1.8 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to $918.4 million or 50.4% of total gross portfolio loans of $1.82 billion at December 31, 2022. The primary security on a commercial real estate loan is the real property and the leases that produce income for the real property. Loans secured by commercial real estate are generally limited to 80% of the lower of the appraised value or sales price at origination and have an initial contractual loan payment period ranging from three to 20 years.
14
Because payments on loans secured by such properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.
Residential First Mortgages
Residential first mortgage loans are generally long-term (10 to 30 years) amortizing loans. The Bank’s residential portfolio has both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate residential first mortgages.
The annual and lifetime limitations on interest rate adjustments may constrain interest rate increases on these loans. There are also credit risks resulting from potential increased costs to the borrower as a result of repricing of adjustable-rate mortgage loans. During periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable-rate mortgage loans may increase due to the upward adjustment of interest cost to the borrower. The Bank’s adjustable rate residential first mortgage portfolio was $12.9 million or 0.7% of total portfolio loans of $1.8 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to $13.1 million or 0.7% of total gross portfolio loans of $1.82 billion at December 31, 2022.
The Bank generally retains the right to service loans sold for a payment based upon a percentage (generally 0.25% of the outstanding loan balance). As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Bank serviced $19.1 million and $19.5 million, respectively, in residential mortgage loans for others.
Residential Rentals
Residential rental mortgage loans are amortizing long-term loans. Loans secured by residential rental properties are generally limited to 80% of the lower of the appraised value or sales price at origination and have an initial contractual loan payment period ranging from three to 20 years. During periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable-rate mortgage loans may increase due to the upward adjustment of interest cost to the borrower.
Loans secured by residential rental properties involve greater risks than 1-4 family residential mortgage loans. Although, there are similar risk characteristics shared with commercial real estate loans, the balances for the loans secured by residential rental properties are generally smaller. Payments on loans secured by residential rental properties are dependent on the successful operation of the properties; and repayment of these loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the rental real estate market or the economy than similar owner-occupied properties.
Construction and Land Development
The Bank offers loans for the construction of residential dwellings. These loans are secured by the real estate under construction as well as by guarantees of the principals involved. In addition, the Bank offers loans to acquire and develop land. Construction and Land Development loans are dependent on the successful completion of the underlying project, or the borrowers guarantee to repay the loan. As such, they are subject to the risks of the project including the borrower’s ability to successfully manage construction and development activities. The repayment of these loans is also subject to economic risks such as changing prices and interest rates.
Home Equity and Second Mortgage Loans
The Bank maintains a portfolio of home equity and second mortgage loans. These products contain a higher risk of default than residential first mortgages as in the event of foreclosure, the first mortgage would need to be paid off prior to collection of the second mortgage.
Commercial Loans
Commercial loans including lines of credit are short-term loans (5 years or less) that are secured by the equipment financed, the guarantees of the borrower, and other collateral. These loans are dependent on the success of the underlying business or the strength of the guarantor.
Consumer Loans
Consumer loans consist of loans secured by automobiles, boats, recreational vehicles and trucks. The Bank also makes home improvement loans and offers both secured and unsecured personal lines of credit and credit card loans. The repayment of these loans is dependent on the continued financial stability of the customer.
Commercial Equipment Loans
These loans consist primarily of fixed-rate, short-term loans collateralized by a commercial customer’s equipment or secured by real property, accounts receivable, or other security as determined by the Bank. Commercial loans are dependent on the success of the underlying business or the strength of the guarantor.
U.S. SBA PPP Loans
U.S. SBA PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the Small Business Administration and the Bank's ACL does not include an allowance for U.S. SBA PPP loans. Management believes all U.S. SBA PPP loans were underwritten in accordance with the program's guidelines.

Non-accrual loans increased $2.0 million from $6.1 million or 0.34% of total loans at December 31, 2022 to $8.1 million or 0.44% of total loans at March 31, 2023. Loans can be current but classified as non-accrual due to customer operating results or payment history. All interest accrued but not collected from loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. In accordance with the Company’s policy, such interest income is recognized on a cash basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual status.
16
At December 31, 2022, there were $5.5 million (89%) of non-accrual loans were current with all payments of principal and interest with specific reserves of $0.1 million and $0.7 million (11%) of non-accrual loans were delinquent with no specific reserves.
Non-accrual loans at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 included no delinquent BEFD modifications. Non-accrual loans on which the recognition of interest has been discontinued, which did not have a specific allowance for impairment, amounted to $6.7 million and $6.0 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Interest due but not recognized on these balances at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $43,000 and $22,000, respectively. Non-accrual loans with a specific allowance for impairment amounted to $1.4 million and $0.1 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Interest due but not recognized on these balances at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $5,000 and $1,000, respectively.
The Company considers a loan to be past due or delinquent when the terms of the contractual obligation are not met by the borrower. Regardless of payment status, as long as cash flows can be reasonably estimated, the associated discount on these loan pools results in income recognition.

A risk-grading scale is used to assign grades to commercial relationships, which include commercial real estate, residential rentals, construction and land development, commercial loans and commercial equipment loans. Loans are graded at inception, annually thereafter when financial statements are received and at other times when there is an indication that a credit may have weakened or improved. At December 31, 2020 and prior, only commercial loan relationships with an aggregate exposure to the Bank of $1,000,000 or greater were subject to being risk rated. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Bank's policy was amended to risk rate all commercial loan relationships.
Home equity and second mortgages and consumer loans are evaluated for creditworthiness in underwriting and are monitored based on borrower payment history. Residential first mortgages are evaluated for creditworthiness during credit due diligence before being purchased. Residential first mortgages, home equity and second mortgages and consumer loans are classified as unrated unless they are part of a larger commercial relationship that requires grading or are BEFD modifications or nonperforming loans with an Other Assets Especially Mentioned ("OAEM") or higher risk rating due to a delinquency payment history.
The overall quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio is assessed using the Bank’s risk-grading scale, the level and trends of net charge-offs, nonperforming loans and delinquencies, the performance of BEFD modifications and the general economic conditions in the Company’s geographical market. This review process is assisted by frequent internal reporting of loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming and potential problem loans. Credit quality indicators and allowance factors are adjusted based on management’s judgment during the monthly and quarterly review process. Loans subject to risk ratings are graded on a scale of one to ten. The Company considers loans rated substandard, doubtful and loss as classified assets for regulatory and financial reporting.
Ratings 1 thru 6 - Pass
Ratings 1 thru 6 have asset risks ranging from excellent-low to adequate. The specific rating assigned considers customer history of earnings, cash flows, liquidity, leverage, capitalization, consistency of debt service coverage, the nature and extent of customer relationship and other relevant specific business factors such as the stability of the industry or market area, changes to management, litigation or unexpected events that could have an impact on risks.
22
Rating 7 - OAEM (Other Assets Especially Mentioned) – Special Mention
These credits, while protected by the financial strength of the borrowers, guarantors or collateral, have reduced quality due to economic conditions, less than adequate earnings performance or other factors which require the lending officer to direct more than normal attention to the credit. Financing alternatives may be limited and/or command higher risk interest rates. OAEM loans relationships are reviewed at least quarterly.
Rating 8 - Substandard
Substandard assets are assets that are inadequately protected by the sound worth or paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged. Substandard loans are the first adversely classified loans on the Bank's watchlist. These assets have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified substandard. The loans may have a delinquent history or combination of weak collateral, weak guarantor strength or operating losses. When a loan is assigned to this category the Bank may estimate a specific reserve in the loan loss allowance analysis. These assets listed may include assets with histories of repossessions or some that are non- performing bankruptcies. These relationships will be reviewed at least quarterly.
Rating 9 - Doubtful
Doubtful assets have many of the same characteristics of Substandard with the exception that the Bank has determined that loss is not only possible but is probable and the risk is close to certain that loss will occur. When a loan is assigned to this category the Bank will identify the probable loss and the loan will receive a specific reserve in the loan loss allowance analysis. These relationships will be reviewed at least quarterly.
Rating 10 – Loss
Once an asset is identified as a definite loss to the Bank, it will receive the classification of “loss.” There may be some future potential recovery; however, it is more practical to write off the loan at the time of classification. Losses will be taken in the period in which they are determined to be non-collectable.

NOTE 8 – GUARANTEED PREFERRED BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES (“TRUPs”)
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 $5.0 million of variable-rate capital securities in a private pooled transaction. The variable rate is based on the 90-day LIBOR rate plus 1.70%. The Trust used the proceeds from this issuance, along with the $0.2 million for Capital Trust II’s common securities, to purchase $5.2 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The interest rate on the debentures and the trust preferred securities is variable and adjusts quarterly. 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.
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 $7.0 million of variable-rate capital securities in a private pooled transaction. The variable rate is based on the 90-day LIBOR rate plus 2.60%. The Trust used the proceeds from this issuance, along with the Company’s $0.2 million capital contribution for Capital Trust I’s common securities, to purchase $7.2 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The interest rate on the debentures and the trust preferred securities is variable and adjusts quarterly. These debentures 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.
As both the Capital Trust I and Capital Trust II variable-rate capital securities are LIBOR-linked instruments that mature after June 30, 2023, the interest rate will transition from a LIBOR-based rate to an alternative reference rate. Both instruments are subject to the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (the “LIBOR Act”) and neither instrument contains a fallback provision or a clearly defined or practicable fallback provision in the event that LIBOR is no longer published or quoted. The interest rate on both the Capital Trust I and Capital Trust II will transition pursuant to the LIBOR Act to a rate based on the Secured
Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) after June 30, 2023.
NOTE 9 – SUBORDINATED NOTES
On October 14, 2020, the Company issued and sold $20.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.75% Fixed to Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 (the "Notes"). The Notes were sold by the Company in a private offering. The Notes mature on October 15, 2030 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.75% to October 14, 2025. From October 15, 2025 to the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to the three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 458 basis points. The Company may redeem the Notes at any time after October 14, 2025, and at any time in whole, but not in part, upon the occurrence of certain events. Any redemption of the Notes will be subject to prior regulatory approval. The Company incurred debt issuance costs for placement fees, legal and other out-of-pocket expenses of approximately $0.6 million, which are being amortized over the life of the Notes. The Company recognized amortization expense of $14,000 and $14,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

NOTE 10 – REGULATORY CAPITAL
The Bank’s primary federal regulator is the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and regular examination by the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation (the “Commissioner”) and the FDIC. The Company is subject to regulation, examination and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”).
The Company and Bank are subject to the Basel III Capital Rules which establish a comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations. The rules implement the Basel Committee’s “Basel III” framework for strengthening international capital standards as well as certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Basel III Capital Rules define the components of capital and address other issues affecting the numerator in banking institutions’ regulatory capital ratios. The Basel III Capital Rules also address risk weights and other issues affecting the denominator in banking institutions’ regulatory capital ratios.
The rules include a common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets minimum ratio of 4.50%, a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0%, require a minimum ratio (“Min. Ratio”) of Total Capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, and require a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. A capital conservation buffer (“CCB”) is also established above the regulatory minimum capital requirements. The rules revised the definition and calculation of Tier 1 capital, Total Capital, and risk-weighted assets.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company and Bank were well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action ("PCA") under the new Basel III Capital Rules. Management believes, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject. The Company’s and the Bank’s actual regulatory capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table.

Dividends paid by the Company are substantially funded from dividends received from the Bank. Federal and holding company regulations, as well as Maryland law, impose certain restrictions on capital distributions, including dividend payments and share repurchases. These restrictions generally require advanced approval from the Bank's regulator for payment of dividends in excess of the sum of net income for the current calendar year and the retained net income of the prior two calendar years.

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements” and FASB ASC Topic 825, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, which provides a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value under U.S. GAAP. FASB ASC Topic 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet in periods subsequent to initial recognition, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, AFS investment securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, individually evaluated loans).
FASB ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. AFS securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis such as loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
Under FASB ASC Topic 820, the Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded, and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine the fair value. These hierarchy levels are:
Level 1 inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with the Company’s quarterly valuation process. Intra-quarter transfers in and out of level 3 assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are disclosed. There were no such transfers during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 or the year ended December 31, 2022.
Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:
Securities Available for Sale
AFS investment securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Standard inputs include quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities (“GSEs”), municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.
Equity Securities Carried at Fair Value Through Income
Equity securities carried at fair value through income are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Standard inputs include quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 equity securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Level 2 equity securities include mutual funds with asset-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities (“GSEs”) as the underlying investment supporting the fund. Equity securities classified as Level 3 include mutual funds with asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.
29
Loans Receivable
The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis; however, from time to time, a loan is individually evaluated and an ACL is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan are segregated individually. Management estimates the fair value of individually evaluated loans using one of several methods, including the collateral value, market value of similar debt, or discounted cash flows. Individually evaluated loans not requiring an allowance are those for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, substantially all of the individually evaluated loans were based upon the fair value of the collateral.
In accordance with FASB ASC 820, loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral (loans with impairment) require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price (e.g., contracted sales price), the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When the fair value of the impaired loan is derived from an appraisal, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 3. Fair value is re-assessed at least quarterly or more frequently when circumstances occur that indicate a change in the fair value. The fair values of impaired loans that are not measured based on collateral values are measured using discounted cash flows and considered to be Level 3 inputs.
Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO")
OREO is adjusted for fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, OREO is reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value.
Fair value is based on independent market prices, appraised value of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price (e.g., contracted sales price), the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When the fair value is derived from an appraisal, the Company records the foreclosed asset at nonrecurring Level 3.
Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company may be required to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. Loans with an allowance had unpaid principal balances of $1.4 million and $0.1 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The fair value of individually assessed loans with an allowance measured on a non-recurring basis was zero as of December 31, 2022. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2023 are included in the tables below.

NOTE 12 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments require disclosure of fair value information, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, when it is practical to estimate the fair value. A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity or a contractual obligation which requires the exchange of cash. Certain items are specifically excluded from the financial instrument fair value disclosure requirements, including the Company’s common stock, OREO, premises and equipment and other assets and liabilities.
The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Therefore, any aggregate unrealized gains or losses should not be interpreted as a forecast of future earnings or cash flows. Furthermore, the fair values disclosed should not be interpreted as the aggregate current value of the Company.
The Company’s estimated fair values of financial instruments are presented in the following tables.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding loan commitments and standby letters of credit with customers of $47.0 million and $44.9 million, respectively, and $22.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Additionally, at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, customers had $276.1 million and $278.1 million, respectively, available and unused on lines of credit, which include lines of credit for commercial customers, home equity loans as well as builder and construction lines. Based on the short-term lives of these instruments, the Company does not believe that the fair value of these instruments differs significantly from their carrying values.
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these Consolidated Financial Statements since that date and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

NOTE 14 – EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)
Basic earnings per common share represent income available to common shareholders, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common shares that may have been issued by the Company related to outstanding unvested restricted stock unit and performance stock unit awards were determined using the treasury stock method and included in the calculation of dilutive common stock equivalents. The Company has not granted any stock options since 2007 and all outstanding options expired on July 17, 2017.
As of the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, there were 1,854 and zero, respectively of unvested restricted stock and performance stock unit awards which were excluded from the calculation as their effect would be anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted earnings per share have been computed based on weighted-average common and common equivalent shares outstanding as follows:

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its subsidiaries. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. If it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized, deferred tax assets will be reduced by a valuation allowance. It is the Company’s policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense.

Income tax expense as reported | $ | 2,368 | $ | 2,133 | ||||
Effective tax rate | 24.4 | % | 25.3 | % |
Net deferred tax assets totaled $21.9 million at March 31, 2023 and $24.7 million at December 31, 2022. No valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was recorded at March 31, 2023 as management believes it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized against deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income.
The effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal and state income rates during 2023 and 2022 primarily due to the effect of tax-exempt loans, life insurance policies, the income tax effects associated with stock-based compensation and certain non-deductible expenses for state income taxes. The
Company’s consolidated effective tax rate is expected to be between 24.50% and 26.00% in 2023.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as of March 31, 2023 combines the historical consolidated financial position and results of operations of Shore Bancshares, Inc. (“SHBI”) and The Community Financial Corporation (“TCFC”), as of such date (i) on an actual historical basis and (ii) assuming the completion of the merger at such date using the acquisition method of accounting as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, ASC 805, “Business Combinations” and giving effect to the related pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information as of March 31, 2023 gives effect to the completion of SHBI’s acquisition of TCFC.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2023 combines the historical consolidated financial position and results of operations of SHBI and TCFC for such period, giving effect to the merger as if the merger had become effective at the beginning of the period presented, using the acquisition method of accounting and giving effect to the pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes. Although pro forma financial information is not a measurement of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, SHBI and TCFC believe that pro forma financial information is important because it gives effect to the merger and the transactions referenced above. The manner in which SHBI and TCFC calculate pro forma financial information may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily, and should not be assumed to be, an indication of the actual results that would have been achieved had the merger been completed as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the respective period’s historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes of SHBI and TCFC. The historical consolidated financial statements of SHBI are included in SHBI’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The historical consolidated financial statements of TCFC are attached as Exhibit 99.2 in Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed along with this Exhibit 99.3 on August 7, 2023.
The pro forma information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect the opportunities to earn additional revenue and does not include certain assumptions as to cost savings and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had the companies been combined during the periods presented.

NOTE A — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
On December 14, 2022, SHBI entered into the merger agreement with TCFC. In accordance with the merger agreement, TCFC was merged with and into SHBI on July 1, 2023. At the effective time of the merger, TCFC ceased to exist and SHBI survived and continued to exist as a Maryland corporation. Each outstanding share of common stock of TCFC was converted into 2.3287 shares of SHBI common stock, with an amount in cash, without interest, paid in lieu of fractional shares.
The pro forma allocation of the purchase price reflected in the pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to adjustment and may vary from the actual purchase price allocation. Adjustments may include, but not be limited to, changes in (i) TCFC’s balance sheet through the effective time of the merger and (ii) the underlying values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of SHBI’s financial condition and results of operations, including per share data, are presented after giving effect to the merger. The pro forma financial information assumes that the merger with TCFC was consummated on March 31, 2023, for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and for purposes of the pro forma condensed combined statement of income, as if it had been effective during the entire period presented. Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical financial statement presentations of TCFC to conform to the presentation in SHBI’s financial statements.
The merger will be accounted for by SHBI using the acquisition method of accounting; accordingly, the difference between the purchase price as compared to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired (including identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities has been reflected as a preliminary bargain purchase gain. The pro forma financial information includes estimated adjustments to record the assets and liabilities of TCFC at their respective fair values and represents management’s estimates based on available information. The pro forma adjustments included herein may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed.
NOTE B — PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
The following pro forma adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. All adjustments are based on current valuations, estimates, and assumptions.
