SEVERN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Annapolis, Maryland

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 -  Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Severn Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SBI Mortgage Company and  SBI Mortgage Company’s subsidiary, Crownsville Development Corporation, and its subsidiary, Crownsville Holdings I, LLC, and Severn Savings Bank, FSB (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s subsidiaries, Louis Hyatt, Inc., Homeowners Title and Escrow Corporation, Severn Financial Services Corporation, SSB Realty Holdings, LLC, SSB Realty Holdings II, LLC, and HS West, LLC.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 -  Basis of Presentation

Bancorp follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, commonly referred to as the “FASB”.  The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) that Bancorp follows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, sometimes referred to as the Codification or ASC.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been made. Such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.  The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 or any other interim period.  The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2015 should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, which were included in Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.  These consolidated financial statements consider events that occurred through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

Note 3 -  Cash Flow Presentation

In the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB Atlanta”) overnight deposits, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.

Note 4 – Reclassifications

Amounts in the prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current year’s presentation.  Such reclassifications had no impact on net income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) CONTINUED

Note 5 -  Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each 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 be issued by Bancorp relate to outstanding stock options, warrants, and convertible preferred stock, and are determined using the treasury stock method.

Not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, because they were anti-dilutive, were 149,500 and 125,000 shares, respectively, of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, 559,976 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of a warrant and 437,500 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Bancorp’s Series A Preferred Stock.

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
Common shares – weighted average (basic)		10,088,549		10,067,379		10,078,923		10,067,033
Common share equivalents – weighted average		24,746		-		23,298		36,932
Common shares – weighted average (diluted)		10,113,295		10,067,379		10,102,221		10,103,965

Note 6 -  Guarantees

Bancorp does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit.  See Note 10.

Note 7 -  Regulatory Matters

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements.

Federal banking agencies have adopted proposals that have substantially amended the regulatory capital rules applicable to Bancorp and the Bank.  The amendments implement the “Basel III” regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act.  The amended rules establish new higher capital ratio requirements, narrow the definitions of capital, impose new operating restrictions on banking organizations with insufficient capital buffers and increase the risk weighting of certain assets.  The amended rules were effective with respect to Bancorp and the Bank in January 2015, with certain requirements to be phased in beginning in 2016.

Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. The following table presents the Bank’s capital position:

On April 23, 2013, the Bank was notified by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) that the OCC established minimum capital ratios for the Bank requiring it to immediately maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio to Adjusted Total Assets of at least 10% and a Total Risk-Based Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets ratio of at least 15%.  The Bank was in compliance with these requirements as of June 30, 2015.

Note 8 -  Stock-Based Compensation

Bancorp has a stock-based compensation plan for directors, officers, and other key employees of Bancorp.  The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued with respect to the awards granted under the plan is 500,000 plus any shares forfeited under Bancorp’s old stock-based compensation plan.  Under the terms of the stock-based compensation plan, Bancorp has the ability to grant various stock compensation incentives, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock.  The stock-based compensation is granted under terms and conditions determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  Under the stock-based compensation plan, stock options generally have a maximum term of ten years, and are granted with an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date the options are granted.  Generally, options granted to directors of Bancorp vest immediately, and options granted to officers and employees vest over a five-year period, although the Compensation Committee has the authority to provide for different vesting schedules.

Bancorp follows FASB ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, to account for stock-based compensation.  FASB ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense in the statement of operations at fair value.  FASB ASC 718 requires an entity to recognize the expense of employee services received in share-based payment transactions and measure the expense based on the grant date fair value of the award.  The expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.

The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities held to maturity are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Total	$	59,616	$	643	$	136	$	60,123

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were $4,235,000and$4,244,000, respectively, of US Treasury securities or mortgage-backed securities pledged by Bancorp as collateral for borrowers’ letters of credit with Anne Arundel County.

The following table shows fair value and unrealized losses, aggregated by investment category and length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Included in the table are nine Mortgage-backed securities in a gross unrealized loss position at June 30, 2015.  Seven US Treasury securities, ten Agency securities and five Mortgage-backed securities were in a gross unrealized loss position at December 31, 2014. Management believes that the unrealized losses in 2015 and 2014 were the result of interest rate levels differing from those existing at the time of purchase of the securities and actual and estimated prepayment speeds.  The Bank does not consider any of these securities to be other than temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, because the unrealized losses were related primarily to changes in market interest rates and widening of sector spreads and were not necessarily related to the credit quality of the issuers of the securities.

In addition, the Bank does not intend to sell, nor does it believe it will be more likely than not that it will be required to sell, any impaired securities prior to a recovery of amortized cost.

The inherent credit risks within the portfolio vary depending upon the loan class as follows:

Residential mortgage loans are secured by one to four family dwelling units. The loans have limited risk as they are secured by first mortgages on the unit, which are generally the primary residence of the borrower, at a loan to value ratio of 80% or less.

Construction, land acquisition and development loans are underwritten based upon a financial analysis of the developers and property owners and construction cost estimates, in addition to independent appraisal valuations. These loans will rely on the value associated with the project upon completion. These cost and valuation estimates may be inaccurate. Construction loans generally involve the disbursement of substantial funds over a short period of time with repayment substantially dependent upon the success of the completed project rather than the ability of the borrower or guarantor to repay principal and interest. If the Bank is forced to foreclose on a project prior to or at completion, due to a default, there can be no assurance that the Bank will be able to recover all of the unpaid balance of the loan as well as related foreclosure and holding costs.  In addition, the Bank may be required to fund additional amounts to complete the project and may have to hold the property for an unspecified period of time. Sources of repayment of these loans typically are permanent financing expected to be obtained upon completion or sales of developed property. These loans are closely monitored by onsite inspections and are considered to be of a higher risk than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to general economic conditions, availability of long-term financing, interest rate sensitivity, and governmental regulation of real property.

Land loans are underwritten based upon the independent appraisal valuations as well as the estimated value associated with the land upon completion of development. These cost and valuation estimates may be inaccurate. These loans are considered to be of a higher risk than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to general economic conditions, availability of long-term financing, interest rate sensitivity, and governmental regulation of real property.

Line of credit loans are subject to the underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial non-real estate loans, in addition to those underwriting standards for real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow dependent and secondarily as loans secured by real-estate and/or other assets. Repayment of these loans is generally dependent upon the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the principal business conducted on the property securing the loan. Line of credit loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or the economy in general. Management monitors and evaluates line of credit loans based on collateral and risk-rating criteria.

Commercial real estate loans are subject to the underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans, in addition to those underwriting standards for real-estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow dependent and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Repayment of these loans is generally dependent upon the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the principal business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or the economy in general. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral and risk-rating criteria. The Bank also utilizes third-party experts to provide environmental and market valuations. The nature of commercial real estate loans makes them more difficult to monitor and evaluate.

Note 10 – Loans Receivable - Continued

Commercial non-real estate loans are underwritten after evaluating historical and projected profitability and cash flow to determine the borrower's ability to repay their obligation as agreed. Commercial and industrial loans are made primarily based on the identified cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral supporting the loan facility. Accordingly, the repayment of a commercial and industrial loan depends primarily on the creditworthiness of the borrower (and any guarantors), while liquidation of collateral is a secondary and often insufficient source of repayment.

Home equity loans are subject to the underwriting standards and processes similar to residential mortgages and are secured by one to four family dwelling units. Home equity loans have greater risk than residential mortgages as a result of the Bank being in a second lien position in the event collateral is liquidated.

Consumer loans consist of loans to individuals through the Bank's retail network and are typically unsecured or secured by personal property. Consumer loans have a greater credit risk than residential loans because of the difference in the underlying collateral, if any. The application of various federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws may limit the amount that can be recovered on such loans.

The loan portfolio segments and loan classes disclosed above are the same because this is the level of detail management uses when the original loan is recorded and is the level of detail used by management to assess and monitor the risk and performance of the portfolio.  Management has determined that this level of detail is adequate to understand and manage the inherent risks within each portfolio segment and loan class.

Allowance for Loan Losses- An allowance for loan losses is provided through charges to income in an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectability of loans and prior loan loss experience.  The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay.  Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses requires the use of estimates and assumptions, which is permitted under GAAP. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.  Management believes the allowance for losses on loans is adequate. While management uses available information to estimate losses on loans, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, particularly in the state of Maryland.  In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the Bank's allowance for losses on loans as an integral part of their examination process.  Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The allowance consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired.  When a real estate secured loan becomes impaired, a decision is made as to whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary.  This decision is based on various considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the original appraisal and the condition of the property.  Appraised values are discounted to arrive at the estimated selling price of the collateral, which is considered to be the estimated fair value.  The discounts also include estimated costs to sell the property.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) CONTINUED

Note 10 – Loans Receivable - Continued

For loans secured by non-real estate collateral, such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, estimated fair values are determined based on the borrower’s financial statements, inventory reports, accounts receivable aging or equipment appraisals or invoices.  Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets.

For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the current market value of the underlying collateral less its estimated disposal costs is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  For loans that are not solely collateral dependent, an allowance is established when the present value of the expected future cash flows of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard or special mention that are not considered impaired, as well as non-classified loans. The general reserve is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. These qualitative factors include:

· Levels and trends in delinquencies and nonaccruals;

· Inherent risk in the loan portfolio;

· Trends in volume and terms of the loan;

· Effects of any change in lending policies and procedures;

· Experience, ability and depth of management;

· National and local economic trends and conditions;

· Effect of any changes in concentration of credit; and

· Industry conditions.

A loan is considered impaired if it meets either of the following two criteria:

· Loans that are 90 days or more in arrears (nonaccrual loans); or

· Loans where, based on current information and events, it is probable that a borrower will be unable to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

Credit quality risk ratings include regulatory classifications of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss.  Loans classified special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention.  If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects.  Loans classified substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  They include loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable.  Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible and are charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Loans not classified are rated pass.

A loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring when for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrowers financial difficulties Bancorp grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider.  Loan modifications made with terms consistent with current market conditions that the borrower could obtain in the open market are not considered troubled debt restructurings.

Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

With respect to all loan segments, management does not charge off a loan, or a portion of a loan, until one of the following conditions have been met:

· The loan has been foreclosed on. Once the loan has been transferred from the Loans Receivable to Foreclosed Real Estate, a charge off is recorded for the difference between the recorded amount of the loan and the net value of the underlying collateral.

· An agreement to accept less than the recorded balance of the loan has been made with the borrower.  Once an agreement has been finalized, and any proceeds from the borrower are received, a charge off is recorded for the difference between the recorded amount of the loan and the net value of the underlying collateral.

· The loan is considered to be impaired collateral dependent and its collateral valuation is less than the recorded balance.  The loan is written down for accounting purposes by the amount of the difference between the recorded balance and collateral value.

Prior to the above conditions, a loan is assessed for impairment when: (i) a loan becomes 90 days or more in arrears or (ii) based on current information and events, it is probable that the borrower will be unable to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  If a loan is considered to be impaired, it is then determined to be either cash flow or collateral dependent. For a cash flow dependent loan, if based on management’s calculation of discounted cash flows, a reserve is needed, a specific reserve is recorded.  That reserve is included in the Allowance for Loan Losses in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.

Over the last several years, Bancorp has experienced an increase in the number of extension requests for commercial real estate and construction loans, some of which have related repayment guarantees. An extension may be granted to allow for the completion of the project, marketing or sales of completed units, or to provide for permanent financing, and is based on a re-underwriting of the loan and management's assessment of the borrower's ability to perform according to the agreed-upon terms. Typically, at the time of an extension, borrowers are performing in accordance with contractual loan terms. Extension terms generally do not exceed 12 to 18 months and typically require that the borrower provide additional economic support in the form of partial repayment, additional collateral or guarantees. In cases where the fair value of the collateral or the financial resources of the borrower are deemed insufficient to repay the loan, reliance may be placed on the support of a guarantee, if applicable. However, such guarantees are not relied on when evaluating a loan for impairment and never considered the sole source of repayment.

Bancorp evaluates the financial condition of guarantors based on the most current financial information available. Most often, such information takes the form of (i) personal financial statements of net worth, cash flow statements and tax returns (for individual guarantors) and (ii) financial and operating statements, tax returns and financial projections (for legal entity guarantors). Bancorp’s evaluation is primarily focused on various key financial metrics, including net worth, leverage ratios, and liquidity. It is Bancorp's policy to update such information annually, or more frequently as warranted, over the life of the loan.

While Bancorp does not specifically track the frequency with which it has pursued guarantor performance under a guarantee, its underwriting process, both at origination and upon extension, as applicable, includes an assessment of the guarantor's reputation, creditworthiness and willingness to perform. Historically, when Bancorp has found it necessary to seek performance under a guarantee, it has been able to effectively mitigate its losses. As stated above, Bancorp’s ability to seek performance under a guarantee is directly related to the guarantor's reputation, creditworthiness and willingness to perform. When a loan becomes impaired, repayment is sought from both the underlying collateral and the guarantor (as applicable). In the event that the guarantor is unwilling or unable to perform, a legal remedy is pursued.

Construction loans are funded, at the request of the borrower, typically not more than once per month, based on the extent of work completed, and are monitored, throughout the life of the project, by independent professional construction inspectors and Bancorp's commercial real estate lending department. Interest is advanced to the borrower, upon request, based upon the progress of the project toward completion. The amount of interest advanced is added to the total outstanding principal under the loan commitment. Should the project not progress as scheduled, the adequacy of the interest reserve necessary to carry the project through to completion is subject to close monitoring by management. Should the interest reserve be deemed to be inadequate, the borrower is required to fund the deficiency. Similarly, once a loan is fully funded, the borrower is required to fund all interest payments.

Construction loans are reviewed for extensions upon expiration of the loan term. Provided the loan is performing in accordance with contractual terms, extensions may be granted to allow for the completion of the project, marketing or sales of completed units, or to provide for permanent financing. Extension terms generally do not exceed 12 to 18 months.

In general, Bancorp's construction loans are used to finance improvements to commercial, industrial or residential property. Repayment is typically derived from the sale of the property as a whole, the sale of smaller individual units, or by a take-out from a permanent mortgage. The term of the construction period generally does not exceed two years. Loan commitments are based on established construction budgets which represent an estimate of total costs to complete the proposed project including both hard (direct) costs (building materials, labor, etc.) and soft (indirect) costs (legal and architectural fees, etc.). In addition, project costs may include an appropriate level of interest reserve to carry the project through to completion. If established, such interest reserves are determined based on (i) a percentage of the committed loan amount, (ii) the loan term, and (iii) the applicable interest rate. Regardless of whether a loan contains an interest reserve, the total project cost statement serves as the basis for underwriting and determining which items will be funded by the loan and which items will be funded through borrower equity. Bancorp has not advanced additional interest reserves to keep a loan from becoming nonperforming.

Bancorp recognized $189,000 and $9,000 of interest income from its loan portfolio from interest reserves during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  None of the loans where interest reserves were recorded as capitalized interest were non-performing.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due.  Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan.  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 for 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.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Bancorp’s policy for recording payments received on non-accrual financing receivables is to record the payment towards principal and interest on a cash basis until such time as the loan is returned to accrual status.

Bancorp recognized $412,000 and $867,000 of interest income on impaired loans using a cash-basis method of accounting for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 and $473,000 and $1,040,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014. Bancorp did not record any interest income attributable to the change in present value attributable to the passage of time.  Bancorp evaluates its impaired loans and assesses them based on either discounted cash flows or if it deems its loans to be collateral based, assesses impairment based on the net value of the underlying collateral.

Included in the above impaired loans amount at June 30, 2015 was $26,959,000 of loans that are not in non-accrual status.In addition, there was a total of $24,277,000 of residential real estate loans included in impaired loans at June 30, 2015, of which $20,270,000 were to consumers and $4,007,000 to builders. The collateral supporting impaired collateral dependent loans is individually reviewed by management to determine its estimated fair market value, less estimated disposal cost and a charge off is taken, if necessary, for the difference between the carrying amount of any loan and the estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated disposal cost.

Bancorp offers a variety of modifications to borrowers.  The modification categories offered can generally be described in the following categories:

· Rate Modification – A modification in which the interest rate is changed.

· Term Modification – A modification in which the maturity date, timing of payments or frequency of payments is changed.

· Interest Only Modification – A modification in which the loan is converted to interest only payments for a period of time.

· Payment Modification – A modification in which the dollar amount of the payment is changed, other than an interest only modification above.

· Loan Balance Modification – A modification in which a portion of the outstanding loan balance is forgiven.

· Combination Modification – Any other type of modification, including the use of multiple categories above.

Bancorp has not purchased, sold or reclassified any loans to held for sale during the periods discussed.  Only loans originated specifically for sale are recorded as held for sale at the period ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Bancorp considers a modification of a loan term a troubled debt restructuring or “TDR” if Bancorp for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider.  Prior to entering into a loan modification, Bancorp assesses the borrower’s financial condition to determine if the borrower has the means to meet the terms of the modification.  This includes obtaining a credit report on the borrower as well as the borrower’s tax returns and financial statements.

There were 82 restructured loans at June 30, 2015 totaling $27,719,000, of which 74 loans totaling $25,591,000 were performing as agreed.  Of those performing loans, 65 loans totaling $22,273,000 have not been late on a payment during the last 2 years.

There were 85 restructured loans at December 31, 2014 totaling $30,365,000, of which 76 loans totaling $27,724,000 were performing as agreed.

In the six months ended June 30, of  2015 and 2014 there were no TDR’s that subsequently defaulted during the 12 month period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

In addition, the TDR is evaluated for impairment.  A determination is made as to whether an impaired TDR is cash flow or collateral dependent.  If the TDR is cash flow dependent, an allowance for loan losses specific reserve is calculated based on the difference in net present value of future cash flows between the original and modified loan terms.  If the TDR is collateral dependent, the collateral securing the TDR, which is always real estate, is evaluated for impairment based on either an appraisal or broker price opinion.  If a TDR’s collateral valuation is less than its current loan balance, the TDR is written down for accounting purposes by the amount of the difference between the current loan balance and the collateral value.  If the borrower performs under the terms of the modification, generally six consecutive months, and the ultimate collectability of all amounts contractually due under the modified terms is not in doubt, the loan is returned to accrual status.  There are no loans that have been modified due to the financial difficulties of the borrower that are not considered a TDR.  There were no TDR defaults during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank guaranteeing performance by a customer to various municipalities. These guarantees are issued primarily to support performance arrangements, limited to real estate transactions.  The majority of these standby letters of credit expire within the next twelve months.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending other loan commitments.  The Bank requires collateral supporting these letters of credit as deemed necessary.  Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of such collateral would be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees.  The current amount of the liability as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued was $115,000 and $314,000, respectively.

Home equity lines of credit are loan commitments to individuals as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments under home equity lines expire ten years after the date the loan closes and are secured by real estate. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.

Unadvanced construction commitments are loan commitments made to borrowers for both residential and commercial projects that are either in process or are expected to begin construction shortly.

Mortgage loan commitments not reflected in the accompanying statements of financial condition at June 30, 2015 included $2,660,000 of which five were at a fixed range of 3.875% to 4.625% and one at a floating interest rate. Mortgage loan commitments at December 31, 2014 included $2,120,000 of which four were at a fixed interest rate range of 3.750% to 4.50% and none at floating interest rates.

Lines of credit are loan commitments to individuals and companies as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Lines of credit have a fixed expiration date. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.

The Bank has entered into several agreements to sell mortgage loans to third parties. The loans sold under these agreements for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 and year ended December 31, 2014 were $75,119,000 and $90,560,000, respectively. These agreements contain limited provisions that require the Bank to repurchase a loan if the loan becomes delinquent within the terms specified by the agreement. The credit risk involved in these financial instruments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

Only loans originated specifically for sale are recorded as held for sale at the period ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

No amount was recognized in the consolidated statement of financial condition at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 as a liability for credit loss related to these loans.

Except for the liability recorded for standby letters of credit at June 30, 2015, liabilities for credit loss associated with these commitments were not material at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Note 11 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments

A fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods is used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair market hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2:  Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3:  Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported with little or no market activity).

An asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of Bancorp since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of Bancorp’s assets and liabilities.  Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between Bancorp’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.  The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of Bancorp’s financial instruments at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2013.

Impaired Loans:

Impaired loans are carried at the lower of cost or the present value of expected future cash flows of the loan.  If it is determined that the repayment of the loan will be provided solely by the underlying collateral, and there are no other available and reliable sources of repayment, the loan is considered collateral dependent.  Impaired loans that are considered collateral dependent are carried at the lower of cost or the fair value of the underlying collateral.  Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory and accounts receivable.  The use of independent appraisals and management’s best judgment are significant inputs in arriving at the fair value measure of the underlying collateral and impaired loans are therefore classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the present value of the expected future cash flows of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  For such loans that are classified as collateral dependent impaired loans, an allowance is established when the current market value of the underlying collateral less its estimated disposal costs has not been finalized, but management determines that it is likely that the value is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  Once the net collateral value has been determined, a charge-off is taken for the difference between the net collateral value and the carrying value of the loan.

Impaired loans are those for which Bancorp has measured impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows or on the fair value of the loan’s collateral.  Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds.  These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The fair value consisted of the loan balances of $16,346,000 and $18,736,000 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, less their valuation allowances of $2,199,000 and $2,777,000 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The fair value of 5 impaired collateral-dependent loans that were partially charged off during the six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $11,262,000 net of charge-offs of $469,000. The fair value of 9 impaired collateral-dependent loans that were partially charged off during the year ended December 31, 2014 totaled $3,834,000 net of charge-offs of $477,000.

Foreclosed Real Estate:

Real estate acquired through foreclosure is included in the following disclosure at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated disposal costs. Management periodically evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of the real estate acquired through foreclosure using current estimates of fair value. In the event of a subsequent decline, management provides a specific allowance to reduce real estate acquired through foreclosure to fair value less estimated disposal cost. Expenses incurred on foreclosed real estate prior to disposition are charged to expense. Gains or losses on the sale of foreclosed real estate are recognized upon disposition of the property.

Foreclosed real estate totaled $2,092,000 and $1,947,000 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  The carrying value of foreclosed residential real estate included within foreclosed real estate totaled $1,547,000 and $695,000 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction totaled $2,374,000 as of June 30, 2015.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) CONTINUED

Note 11 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments – Continued

The following methods and assumptions were used to measure the fair value of financial instruments recorded at cost on Bancorp’s consolidated balance sheet:

Cash and cash equivalents:

The carrying amount reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values.

Investment Securities:

Bancorp utilizes a third party source to determine the fair value of its securities.  The methodology consists of pricing models based on asset class and includes available trade, bid, other market information, broker quotes, proprietary models, various databases and trading desk quotes.  All Bancorp’s investments are considered Level 2.

Loans held for sale:

The fair value of loans held for sale is based primarily on investor quotes.

Loans receivable:

The fair values of loans receivable were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. These rates were used for each aggregated category of loans as reported on the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Quarterly Report.

FHLB stock:

The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the FHLB.  There have been no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the FHLB stock.  Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that our FHLB stock was not impaired at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Accrued interest receivable and payable:

The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates their fair values.

Derivative Instruments:

Mortgage banking derivatives used in the ordinary course of business primarily consist of mandatory forward sales contracts (“forward contract”) and rate lock commitments.  The fair value of Bancorp’s derivative instruments is primarily measured by obtaining pricing from broker-dealers recognized to be market participants.  The pricing is derived from market observable inputs that can generally be verified and do not typically involve significant judgment by Bancorp.  Forward contracts and rate lock loan commitments are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy

Mortgage servicing rights:

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is determined using a valuation model administered by a third party that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.  The model incorporates assumptions that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, default rates, cost to service (including delinquency and foreclosure costs), escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income and other ancillary income such as late fees.  Management reviews all significant assumptions on a monthly basis.  Mortgage loan prepayment speed, a key assumption in the model, is the annual rate at which borrowers are forecasted to repay their mortgage loan principal.  The discount rate used to determine the present value of estimated future net servicing income, another key assumption in the model, is an estimate of the required rate of return investors in the market would require for an asset with similar risk.  Both assumptions can, and generally will, change as market conditions and interest rates change.

Deposit liabilities:

The fair values disclosed for demand deposit accounts, savings accounts and money market deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

FHLB advances:

Fair values of long-term debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on rates currently available for advances from the FHLB with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Subordinated debentures:

Current economic conditions have rendered the market for this liability inactive.  As such, Bancorp is unable to determine a good estimate of fair value.  Since the rate paid on the debentures held is lower than what would be required to secure an interest in the same debt at year end and we are unable to obtain a current fair value, Bancorp has disclosed that the carrying value approximates the fair value.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments:

Fair values for Bancorp’s off-balance sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are not significant and are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.

Note 12 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Under ASU 2014-04, Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure, a creditor will be considered to have physical possession of residential real estate property that is collateral for a residential mortgage loan and therefore should reclassify the loan to other real estate owned when either (a) the creditor obtains legal title to the property upon completion of a foreclosure, or (b) the borrower conveys all interest in the real estate property to the lender to satisfy that loan even though legal title may not have passed.  The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Bancorp adopted this guidance on January 1, 2015 using a prospective transition method; it did not have material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The guidance requires disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure. Bancorp has included these disclosures in Note 11 Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

Under ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, establishes a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries under U.S. GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance.  The revenue standard’s core principal is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services.  It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled.  The new standard applies to all public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is prohibited under U.S. GAAP.   Bancorp has evaluated the effect of ASU 2014-09 and believes adoption will not have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company

Bancorp is a savings and loan holding company chartered as a corporation in the state of Maryland in 1990.  It conducts business primarily through two subsidiaries, Severn Savings Bank, FSB (“Bank”) and SBI Mortgage Company (“SBI”).  The Bank’s principal subsidiary Louis Hyatt, Inc. (“Hyatt Commercial”), conducts business as Hyatt Commercial, a commercial real estate brokerage and property management company.  SBI holds mortgages that do not meet the underwriting criteria of the Bank, and is the parent company of Crownsville Development Corporation (“Crownsville”), which is doing business as Annapolis Equity Group, which acquires real estate for syndication and investment purposes.  The Bank has four branches in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, which offer a full range of deposit products, and originate mortgages in its primary market of Anne Arundel County, Maryland and, to a lesser extent, in other parts of Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.

Bank Competition

The Annapolis, Maryland area has a high density of financial institutions, many of which are significantly larger and have greater financial resources than the Bank, and all of which are competitors of the Bank to varying degrees.  The Bank’s competition for loans comes primarily from savings and loan associations, savings banks, mortgage banking companies, insurance companies and commercial banks.  Its most direct competition for deposits has historically come from savings and loan associations, savings banks, commercial banks and credit unions.  The Bank faces additional competition for deposits from money market mutual funds and corporate and government securities funds and investments.  The Bank also faces increased competition for deposits from other financial institutions such as brokerage firms and insurance companies.  The Bank is a community-oriented financial institution serving its market area with a wide selection of mortgage loan products.  Management considers the Bank’s reputation and customer service to be a major competitive advantage in attracting and retaining customers in its market area.  The Bank also believes it benefits from its community orientation.

Forward Looking Statements

In addition to the historical information contained herein, the discussion in this report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and may be affected by various factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.  The forward-looking statements contained herein include, but are not limited to, those with respect to the Bank’s strategy; management’s determination of the amount of the loan loss allowance; the effect of changes in interest rates;  changes in deposit insurance premiums; ability to meet obligations; and legal proceedings.  The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “guidance,” “potential,” “continue,” “project,” “forecast,” “confident,” and similar expressions are typically used to identify forward-looking statements.  Bancorp’s operations and actual results could differ significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.  Some of the factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: changes in general economic conditions and political conditions and by governmental monetary and fiscal policies; changes in the economic conditions of the geographic areas in which Bancorp conducts business; changes in interest rates; a downturn in the real estate markets in which Bancorp conducts business; the high degree of risk exhibited by Bancorp’s loan portfolio; environmental liabilities with respect to properties Bancorp has title; changes in federal and state regulation; the effects of the supervisory agreements entered into by each of Bancorp and the Bank; Bancorp’s ability to estimate loan losses; competition; breaches in security or interruptions in Bancorp’s information systems; Bancorp’s ability to timely develop and implement technology; Bancorp’s ability to retain its management team; perception of Bancorp in the market place; Bancorp’s ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures; and terrorist attacks and threat of actual war; and other factors detailed from time to time in Bancorp’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

41

Critical Accounting Policies

Bancorp’s significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 of the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014 which were included in Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Of these significant accounting policies, Bancorp considers its policies regarding the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed real estate, the evaluation of other than temporary impairment of investment securities and the valuation of the deferred tax asset to be its most critical accounting policies, given the uncertainty in evaluating the level of the allowance required to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and the material effect that such judgments can have on the results of operations and future taxable income.  In addition, changes in economic conditions can have a significant impact on real estate values of underlying collateral affecting the allowance for loan losses and therefore the provision for loan losses and results of operations as well as the valuation of foreclosed real estate.  Bancorp has developed policies and procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, recognizing that this process requires a number of assumptions and estimates with respect to its loan portfolio.  Bancorp’s assessments may be impacted in future periods by changes in economic conditions, the impact of regulatory examinations, and the discovery of information with respect to borrowers that is not known to management at the time of the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

Overview

Bancorp provides a wide range of personal and commercial banking services. Personal services include various lending services as well as checking, individual retirement accounts, money market, savings and time deposit accounts. Commercial services include commercial secured and unsecured lending services as well as business internet banking, corporate cash management services and deposit services. Bancorp also provides ATMs, debit cards, internet banking including on-line bill pay, mortgage lending, safe deposit boxes, and telephone banking, among other products and services.

Bancorp had net income of $2,230,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $291,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to increased non-interest income and decreased non-interest expenses.  Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income from earning assets, such as loans and investments, and the interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities, such as deposits, borrowings and subordinated debentures.  We also generate non-interest income, including, among others, mortgage banking activities, real estate commissions and management fees, and service charges on deposit accounts.  Our non-interest expense consists primarily of employee compensation and benefits, net occupancy expense and other operating expenses.

If interest rates increase, demand for borrowing may decrease and Bancorp’s interest rate spread could decrease.  Bancorp will continue to manage loan and deposit pricing against the risks of rising costs of its deposits and borrowings.  Interest rates are outside the control of Bancorp, so it must attempt to balance its pricing and duration of its loan portfolio against the risks of rising costs of its deposits and borrowings.

The continued success and attraction of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, and vicinity, will also be important to Bancorp’s ability to originate and grow mortgage loans and deposits, as will Bancorp’s continued focus on maintaining a low overhead.

If the volatility in the market and the economy worsens, our business, financial condition, results of operations, access to funds and the price of our stock could be materially and adversely impacted.

Results of Operations

Net income increased by $1,941,000 to net income of $1,365,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to a net loss of ($576,000) for the second quarter of 2014.  Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were $0.08 for the second quarter of 2015 compared to ($0.12) for the second quarter of 2014.Net income increased by $1,939,000 to net income of $2,230,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to net income of $291,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were $0.10 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to ($0.09) for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

42

Net interest income, which is interest earned net of interest expense, decreased by $142,000, or 2.5%, to $5,536,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $5,678,000 for the second quarter of 2014.Net interest income decreased $290,000, or 2.5%, to $11,195,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $11,485,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The primary reasons for these decreases in net interest income were a higher cost of funds and a decrease in the yield on the loan portfolio.

Bancorp’s loan portfolio is subject to varying degrees of credit risk and an allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb losses inherent in its loan portfolio.  Credit risk includes, but is not limited to, the potential for borrower default and the failure of collateral to be worth what Bancorp determined it was worth at the time of the granting of the loan.  Bancorp monitors its loan delinquencies at least monthly.  All loans that are delinquent and all loans within the various categories of Bancorp’s portfolio as a group are evaluated.  Bancorp’s Board, with the advice and recommendation of Bancorp’s management, estimates an allowance to be set aside for loan losses.  Included in determining the calculation are such factors as historical losses for each loan portfolio, current market value of the loan’s underlying collateral, inherent risk contained within the portfolio after considering the state of the general economy, economic trends, consideration of particular risks inherent in different kinds of lending and consideration of known information that may affect loan collectability.

The provision for loan losses increased by $119,000, to $100,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to ($19,000) for the second quarter of 2014. The provision for loan losses increased by $19,000, or 10.5%, to $200,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $181,000 for the same period in 2014. This increase was primarily due to a reversal of a specific reserve on a loan that was paid off during the second quarter of 2014, compared to management’s decision to record a $100,000 provision during the second quarter of 2015.

Total non-interest income increased by $1,370,000, or 142.4%, to $2,332,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $962,000 for the second quarter of 2014.  Total non-interest income increased by $1,294,000, or 66.8%, to $3,232,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $1,938,000 for the same period in 2014.  The primary reasons for these increases in non-interest income were an increase in mortgage banking activities, an increase in real estate commissions, and income booked in 2015 for the change in fair value of interest rate lock commitments and mandatory contracts entered into by the Bank.  Mortgage banking activities increased $511,000, or 116.7%, to $949,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $438,000 for the second quarter of 2014.  Mortgage banking activities increased $780,000, or 122.1%, to $1,419,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $639,000 for the same period in 2014.    This increase in activity was the result of a continued low interest rate environment resulting in the Bank’s general increase in residential loan originations and in the sale of loans.  Real estate commissions increased by $302,000, or 159.8%, to $491,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $189,000 for the second quarter of 2014.  Real estate commissions increased $149,000, or 33.2%, to $598,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $449,000 for the same period in 2014.  The increase in real estate commissions was due to increased sales and leasing activity in 2015 compared to 2014. Real estate management fees increased by $9,000, or 5.7%, to $167,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $158,000 for the second quarter of 2014. Real estate management fees decreased $87,000, or 21.1%, to $325,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $412,000 for the same period in 2014.  These variances are due to a lower level of commercial property under management during the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014 partially offset by some improvement in the second quarter of 2015.  Other non-interest income increased $548,000, or 309.6%, to $725,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $177,000 for the second quarter of 2014.  Other non-interest income increased $452,000, or 103.2%, to $890,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $438,000 for the for the same period in 2014.  The primary reason for the increase was due to the timing of certain fees collected from borrowers in 2015 compared to 2014, and income booked in 2015 for the change in fair value of interest rate lock commitments and mandatory contracts entered into by the Bank. There was no entry recorded for the fair value of interest rate lock commitments and mandatory contracts during the first six months of 2014.

43

Total non-interest expenses decreased $867,000, or 12.0%, to $6,368,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $7,235,000 for the second quarter of 2014.  Total non-interest expenses decreased $980,000, or 7.6%, to $11,961,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $12,941,000 for the same period in 2014.  Compensation and related expenses increased by $486,000, or 13.5%, to $4,091,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $3,605,000 for the second quarter of 2014. Compensation and related expenses increased by $659,000, or 9.1%, to $7,901,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $7,242,000 for the same period in 2014.  This was primarily due to higher commissions paid due to higher mortgage banking activities in 2015 compared to 2014. Net occupancy costs increased by $35,000, or 8.4%, to $453,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $418,000 for the second quarter of 2014.  Net occupancy costs increased by $27,000, or 3.2%, to $878,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $851,000 for the same period in 2014.  These increases were the result of increased maintenance costs in 2015 compared to 2014, partially offset by an increase in rents collected from tenants.  Legal fees decreased by $1,000, or 1.5%, to $67,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $68,000 for the second quarter of 2014.  Legal fees decreased $43,000, or 25.0%, to $129,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $172,000 for the same period in 2014. These decreases were primarily due to a reduced need for services from outside legal firms in 2015 compared to 2014. Foreclosed real estate, net increased by $76,000, to $52,000 for the second quarter of 2015 compared to ($24,000) for the second quarter of 2014.  Foreclosed real estate, net increased by $64,000, or 83.1%, to ($13,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $($77,000) for the same period in 2014.  These increases were primarily due to slightly higher expenses and slightly lower gains on sold properties in 2015, compared to 2014.FDIC assessments and regulatory expense decreased by $39,000, or 11.8% to $292,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $331,000 for the second quarter of 2014.  FDIC assessments and regulatory expense decreased by $73,000, or 10.7% to $610,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $683,000 for the same period in 2015.  These decreases were primarily due to a decrease in the risk-based assessment charged by the FDIC.  Professional fees decreased by $29,000, or 11.0%, to $235,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $264,000 for the second quarter of 2014.  This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in accounting related fees during the second quarter of 2015.  Professional fees increased by $46,000, or 10.1% to $501,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $455,000 for the same period in 2014.  This increase was primarily due to an increase in consulting related fees during the first quarter of 2015.  Office supplies increased $17,000, or 28.8%, to $76,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $59,000 for the second quarter of 2014.  Office supplies decreased by $19,000, or 12.5% to $133,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $152,000 for the same period in 2014.  These variances are due to the timing of the use of supplies.  Online charges decreased $96,000, or 32.7%, to $198,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $294,000 for the second quarter of 2014.  Online charges decreased by $110,000, or 21.3% to $407,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $517,000 for the same period in 2014.These decreases were primarily due to a lower contracted price in processing charges in 2015.  Credit report and appraisal fees increased $78,000, or 29.1%, to $346,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $268,000 for the second quarter of 2014.  Credit report and appraisal fees increased by $35,000, or 7.9% to $476,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $441,000 for the same period in 2014.  These increases were primarily due to a higher volume of credit reports and appraisals ordered for the increase in mortgage banking activities in 2015.  Other non-interest expenses decreased by $1,394,000, or 71.4%, to $558,000 for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $1,952,000 for the second quarter of 2014.  Other non-interest expenses decreased by $1,566,000, or 62.5% to $939,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $2,505,000 for the same period in 2014.  These decreases were primarily due to a $1,400,000 reserve recorded for contingent liabilities related to standby letters of credit during the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Income Taxes

There was a $35,000 income tax expense recorded for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $0 for the second quarter of 2014.  There was a $36,000 income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a $10,000 income tax expense for the same period last year.  This was due alternative minimum tax recorded in 2015 that was not required in 2014.  The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2015 was 2.5% compared to 0.0% for the second quarter of 2014.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Total assets increased $5,595,000 to $781,923,000 at June 30, 2015, compared to $776,328,000 at December 31, 2015.Cash and cash equivalents increased by $15,414,000, or 46.2%, to $48,749,000 at June 30, 2015, compared to $33,335,000 at December 31, 2014.  This increase was primarily due to proceeds received from portfolio loans paid off during the second quarter of 2015. Loans receivable, net decreased $31,003,000, or 4.9%, to $602,879,000 at June 30, 2015, compared to $633,882,000 at December 31, 2014.  This decrease was due to a larger number of loans paying off during 2015 than 2014.  Loans held for sale increased $5,780,000, or 80.7%, to $12,945,000 at June 30, 2015, compared to $7,165,000 at December 31, 2014.  This increase was primarily due to the timing of loans sold as of June 30, 2015 and an increase in mortgage banking activities.  Foreclosed real estate increased $145,000, or 7.4%, to $2,092,000 at June 30, 2015 compared to $1,947,000 at December 31, 2014. This increase was the result of additional properties foreclosed on and less foreclosed properties sold during 2015 compared to 2014.  Accrued interest receivable and other assets decreased $1,245,000, or 13.4%, to $8,043,000 at June 30, 2015 compared to $9,288,000 at December 31, 2014. This decrease is primarily due to the collection of an approximately $1,116,000 miscellaneous receivable in 2015. Total deposits increased $298,000, or 0.1%, to $544,112,000 at June 30, 2015 compared to $543,814,000 at December 31, 2014.This increase was primarily due to an increase in certificates of deposit.  Long-term borrowings remained at $115,000,000 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  These borrowings do not mature until 2016 or later and would incur prepayment penalties if paid earlier.  Accrued interest payable and other liabilities increased $3,962,000, or 41.3% to $13,547,000 at June 30, 2015 compared to $9,585,000 at December 31, 2014.  The primary reason for the increase was the additional accrual for preferred stock dividends and interest on subordinated debentures in 2015 and an increase in escrow funds.

Stockholders’ Equity

Total stockholders’ equity increased $1,335,000 to $85,145,000 at June 30, 2015 compared to $83,810,000 as of December 31, 2014.  This increase was primarily a result of net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 partially offset by the dividend declared to Bancorp’s preferred stockholders.

Liquidity

Bancorp’s liquidity is determined by its ability to raise funds through several sources including borrowed funds, capital, deposits, loan repayments, maturing investments and the sale of loans.

In assessing its liquidity, the management of Bancorp considers operating requirements, anticipated deposit flows, expected funding of loans, deposit maturities and borrowing availability, so that sufficient funds may be available on short notice to meet obligations as they arise or to permit Bancorp to take advantage of business opportunities.

Management believes Bancorp has sufficient cash flow and liquidity to meet its current commitments through the next 12 months.  Certificates of deposit, which are scheduled to mature in less than one year, totaled $186,802,000 at June 30, 2015.Based on past experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with Bancorp.At June 30, 2015,Bancorp had commitments to originate mortgage loans of $2,660,000, unadvanced home equity lines of credit of $7,971,000, unadvanced construction commitments of $27,552,000, unused lines of credit of $25,974,000 and commitments under standby letters of credit of $5,690,000.  Bancorp has the ability to reduce its commitments for new loan originations, adjust other cash outflows, and borrow from FHLB Atlanta should the need arise.  As of June 30, 2015, outstanding FHLB Atlanta borrowings totaled $115,000,000, and Bancorp had available to it an additional $79,610,000 in borrowing availability from FHLB Atlanta.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $6,105,000 to $909,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 7,014,000 for the same period in 2014. This decrease was primarily the result of an increase in loans originated for sale in 2015 net of proceeds from loans sold to others. Net cash from investing activities increased $32,047,000 to cash provided by of $14,111,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $17,936,000 used in investing activities for the same period in 2014.  This increase was primarily due a net decrease in loans in the amount of $33,207,000. Net cash provided by financing activities increased $15,860,000 to $394,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $15,466,000 used in financing activities for the same period in 2014.  This increase was primarily due to a net increase in deposits in 2015 compared to the decrease in deposits during the same period in 2014.

Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta Line of Credit

The Bank has an available line of credit, secured by various loans in its portfolio, in the amount of twenty five percent of its total assets, with the FHLB Atlanta.  As of June 30, 2015, the total available line of credit with the FHLB Atlanta was approximately $194,610,000, of which $115,000,000 was outstanding in the form of long-term borrowings.  The Bank, from time to time, utilizes the line of credit when interest rates are more favorable than obtaining deposits from the public.

The following table sets forth information concerning the interest rates and maturity dates of the advances from the FHLB Atlanta as of June 30, 2015 (dollars in thousands):

Principal Amount		Rate		Maturity
$	15,000	1.81% to 1.83%			2016
	70,000	2.43% to 4.05%			2017

Subordinated Debentures

As of June 30, 2015, Bancorp had outstanding $20,619,000 principal amount of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Due 2035 (the “2035 Debentures”).  The 2035 Debentures were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of December 17, 2004 (the “2035 Indenture”) between Bancorp and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee.  The 2035 Debentures pay interest quarterly at a floating rate of interest of LIBOR (0.23% as of June 30, 2014) plus 200 basis points, and mature on January 7, 2035.  Payments of principal, interest, premium and other amounts under the 2035 Debentures are subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all senior indebtedness of Bancorp, as defined in the 2035 Indenture.  The 2035 Debentures became redeemable, in whole or in part, by Bancorp on January 7, 2010.

The 2035 Debentures were issued and sold to Severn Capital Trust I (the “Trust”), of which 100% of the common equity is owned by Bancorp.  The Trust was formed for the purpose of issuing corporation-obligated mandatorily redeemable Capital Securities (“Capital Securities”) to third-party investors and using the proceeds from the sale of such Capital Securities to purchase the 2035 Debentures.  The 2035 Debentures held by the Trust are the sole assets of the Trust.  Distributions on the Capital Securities issued by the Trust are payable quarterly at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate being earned by the Trust on the 2035 Debentures.  The Capital Securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the 2035 Debentures.  Bancorp has entered into an agreement which, taken collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantees the Capital Securities subject to the terms of the guarantee.  Under the terms of the 2035 Indenture, Bancorp is permitted to defer the payment of interest on the 2035 Debentures for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods provided that no event of default has occurred and is continuing.  As of June 30, 2015, Bancorp has deferred the payment of thirteen quarters of interest and the cumulative amount of interest in arrears not paid, including interest on unpaid interest, was $1,601,000.

Under the terms of Bancorp’s 2035 Indenture, if Bancorp has deferred payments of interest on the 2035 Debentures, the Bancorp may not, among other things, declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock, including common stock until all such deferred interest has been paid.  Accordingly, Bancorp will not be able to pay dividends on its common stock until the deferred interest on the 2035 Debentures has been paid in full.

On November 15, 2008, Bancorp completed a private placement offering consisting of a total of 70 units, at an offering price of $100,000 per unit, for gross proceeds of $7.0 million. Each unit consists of 6,250 shares of Bancorp's Series A 8.0% Non-Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and Bancorp's Subordinated Note in the original principal amount of $50,000.

46

The aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes outstanding at June 30, 2015 was $3,500,000.  The Subordinated Notes earn interest at an annual rate of 8.0%, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December commencing December 31, 2008.  The Subordinated Notes are redeemable in whole or in part at the option of Bancorp at any time beginning on December 31, 2009 until maturity, which is December 31, 2018.  Debt issuance costs totaled $245,000 and are being amortized over 10 years.  Interest payments on the Subordinated Notes are current as of June 30, 2015.

Preferred Stock

Bancorp issued a total of 437,500 shares of its Series A 8.0% Non-Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) as part of the private placement offering completed on November 15, 2008.  The liquidation preference is $8.00 per share.  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into one share of Bancorp’s common stock, subject to adjustment upon certain corporate events. The initial conversion rate is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $8.00 per share of Bancorp’s common stock. At the option of Bancorp, on and after December 31, 2013, at any time and from time to time, some or all of the Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Bancorp’s common stock at the then-applicable conversion rate.  Costs related to the issuance of the preferred stock totaled $247,000 and were netted against the proceeds.

If declared by Bancorp's board of directors, cash dividends at an annual rate of 8.0% will be paid quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December commencing December 31, 2008. Dividends will not be paid on Bancorp’s common stock in any quarter until the dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock has been paid for such quarter; however, there is no requirement that Bancorp's board of directors declare any dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and any unpaid dividends shall not be cumulative.  Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have not been declared since the first quarter of 2012.

On November 21, 2008, Bancorp entered into an agreement with the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”), pursuant to which Bancorp issued and sold (i) 23,393 shares of its Series B Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share and liquidation preference $1,000 per share, (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 556,976 shares of Bancorp’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $23,393,000.  Costs related to the issuance of the preferred stock and warrants totaled $45,000 and were netted against the proceeds.  On September 25, 2013, the Treasury sold all of its 23,393 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to outside investors as part of their ongoing efforts to wind down and recover its remaining investments under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP’).  The terms of the Series B Preferred Stock remain the same.  The Treasury continues to hold a warrant to purchase 556,976 shares of Bancorp’s common stock.

The Series B Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays cumulative compounding dividends at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per annum effective November 21, 2013. The Series B Preferred Stock may be redeemed by Bancorp.

The Series B Preferred Stock has no maturity date and ranks pari passu with Bancorp’s existing Series A Preferred Stock, in terms of dividend payments and distributions upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up of Bancorp.

The Series B Preferred Stock is non-voting, other than class voting rights on certain matters that could adversely affect the Series B Preferred Stock. If dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock have not been paid for an aggregate of six quarterly dividend periods or more, whether consecutive or not, Bancorp’s authorized number of directors will be automatically increased by two and the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, voting together with holders of any then outstanding voting parity stock, will have the right to elect those directors at Bancorp’s next annual meeting of stockholders or at a special meeting of stockholders called for that purpose. These preferred share directors will be elected annually and serve until all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock have been paid.  In connection with the sale by the Treasury of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Federal Reserve obtained waivers from the outside investors who purchased the Series B Preferred Stock in which such investors agreed not to exercise their right to elect directors, and certain other voting or control rights, without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve.

47

The Warrant has a 10-year term and is immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $6.30 per share of Common Stock.   The exercise price and number of shares subject to the Warrant are both subject to anti-dilution adjustments.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Treasury has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant.

Bancorp’s ability to declare dividends on its common stock are limited by the terms of Bancorp’s Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock.  Bancorp may not declare or pay any dividend on, make any distributions relating to, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment relating to, or make any guarantee payment with respect to its common stock in any quarter until the dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock has been declared and paid for such quarter, subject to certain minor exceptions.  Additionally Bancorp may not declare or pay any dividend or distribution on its common stock, and Bancorp may not purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for consideration any of its common stock, unless all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past dividend periods, including the latest completed dividend period, on all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been or are contemporaneously declared and paid in full (or have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside), subject to certain minor exceptions.

Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock have not been paid since the first quarter of 2012 because Bancorp did not receive approval from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond to pay such dividends.  As of June 30, 2015, Bancorp has unpaid cumulative dividends and interest in arrears on the Series B Preferred Stock of $5,708,000.  Accordingly, Bancorp will not be able to pay dividends on its common stock until the dividend in arrearage on its Series B Preferred Stock has been paid in full.

On November 23, 2009, Bancorp and the Bank entered into supervisory agreements with their respective regulators.  Bancorp is currently under its original agreement which is now enforced by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.  On April 23, 2013, the Bank entered into a new agreement with the OCC, which superseded and terminated the supervisory agreement entered into on November 23, 2009.  The agreements require, among other things, that Bancorp and the Bank must obtain prior regulatory approval before any dividends or capital distributions can be made.

Effects of Inflation

The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and practices within the banking industry which require the measurement of financial condition and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.  Unlike industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature.  As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation.

Average Balance Sheet

The following table presents Bancorp’s distribution of the average consolidated balance sheets and net interest analysis for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For information concerning recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 12 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There has been no material change in market risk since December 31, 2014, as reported in Bancorp’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 17, 2015.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of Bancorp's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Bancorp has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2015.  Disclosure controls and procedures are defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act as those controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, Bancorp’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Bancorp’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, also conducted an evaluation of Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), to determine whether any changes occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting.  Based on that evaluation, there were no such changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Bancorp have been detected.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There are various claims pending involving Bancorp, arising in the normal course of business.  Management believes, based upon consultation with legal counsel, that liabilities arising from these proceedings, if any, will not be material to Bancorp’s consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 should be carefully considered by you. If any of the risks actually occur, Bancorp’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.  The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing Bancorp.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Bancorp’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including the risks faced by Bancorp described in Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

As noted above, Bancorp and the Bank entered into formal agreements with the regulators that require, among other things, that Bancorp and Bank obtain prior regulatory approval before paying any dividends or distributions.  During the second quarter of 2015, Bancorp did not receive approval from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond to pay dividends on the cumulative Series B Preferred Stock in the amount of $526,000 due on May 15, 2015 and the non-cumulative Series A Preferred Stock in the amount of$70,000 due on June 30, 2015.  As of June 30, 2015, Bancorp has unpaid cumulative dividends and interest in arrears on the Series B Preferred Stock of $5,708,000 and $0 on the Series A Preferred Stock.

Also as noted above, as permitted under the terms of the 2035 Indenture, as of June 30, 2015, Bancorp has deferred the payment of thirteen quarters of interest on its 2035 Debentures and the cumulative amount of interest in arrears not paid, including interest on unpaid interest, was $1,601,000.
