Profit-Driven versus
Growth-Driven Banks

■HMPR is a profit-driven bank holding company

■Profit-Driven Banks

■Longer term timeframe

■Higher dividend yield

■Greater stability in stock price

■More orderly market for exiting your position

■i.e. more likely to have buy back programs

20

Growth-Driven Banks

■Profit-Driven Banks

■Less dependent on other sources of income.

■Mortgages

■Insurance

■Brokerage

■Real Estate

■Longer timeframe, higher dividend yield, steady

growth of capital over the long term.

■Less potential for dilution

■Earnings provide capital for growth.

21

Growth-Driven Banks
vs. Profit-Driven Banks

■Rapid de novo branching/offices - build new offices in existing
strong markets in today’s dollars

■Even with the best loan officers…

■Have to attract customers by offering better rates

■Lower yields

■Pressure for high production

■Have to offer higher salaries

■More expensive benefits

■Deferred Compensation Plans vs. Incentive Driven Performance Rewards

■Lower Yields - Higher Costs

■Need to fund loans - - Higher interest expense

■Need to raise new capital more often

■Trust preferred and convertibles

■Potential dilution

22

Growth Banks versus
Profit-Driven Banks

■Rapid de novo growth:

■Narrowing margins

■Higher costs

■Lower dividends to preserve capital

■Lesser degree of loyalty to stockholders due

to disassociation

23

Our Vision

■Relocated corporate
headquarters to Norfolk in
November 2005

■Vision to be market leader

■Solid foundation for growth

■Shore Bank strengthens
