Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation
    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Interim financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for these interim periods have been made. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2008. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
    Consolidation has resulted in the elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

Cash Flows
    For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold, and interest-bearing deposits except for time deposits. Federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.

Per share data
    Earnings per common share are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, as follows:

  2008 2007
Three months ended June 30                     3,091,956                     3,139,456
Six months ended June 30                     3,094,857                     3,142,584
     

2. Comprehensive Income
    Comprehensive income consists of:

  For the six months ended
  June 30
  2008 2007
Net income  $                 3,265,136  $                 3,684,027
Unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities    
  available for sale, net of income taxes                      (157,086)                          51,405
Comprehensive income  $                 3,108,050  $                 3,735,432

3. Loan commitments
    Loan commitments are agreements to lend to customers as long as there is no violation of any conditions of the contracts. As of June 30, outstanding loan commitments and letters of credit consist of:

  June 30, 2008 December 31,2007
Loan commitments  $               26,711,718  $               33,523,485
Standby letters of credit  $                 2,203,902  $                 1,582,050

4. Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
    The Company values investment securities classified as available for sale at fair value. The fair value hierarchy established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, defines three input levels for fair value measurement. Level 1 is based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 is based on significant observable inputs other than those in Level 1. Level 3 is based on significant unobservable inputs. The Company values US Treasury and government agency securities under Level 1, and municipal debt securities and equity investments under Level 2. The Company has no assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis that are valued under Level 3 criteria. At June 30, 2008, values for available for sale investment securities were established as follows:

  Total Level 1 Inputs Level 2 Inputs
Investment securities available for sale  $        8,894,198  $        4,849,773  $        4,044,425

5. New accounting standards
    The following accounting pronouncements have been approved by the Financial Accounting Standards Board but have not become effective as of this reporting date. These pronouncements would apply to the Company if the Company or the Bank entered into an applicable activity.
    FASB Statement No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements" improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Management does not expect SFAS No. 160 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
    FASB Statement No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. The use and complexity of derivative instruments and hedging activities have increased significantly over the past several years. Constituents have expressed concerns that the existing disclosure requirements in FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," do not provide adequate information about how derivative and hedging activities affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. Management does not expect SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
    The accounting policies adopted by management are consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are consistent with those followed by peer Banks.

6. Restatement of prior period balances
    Certain reclassifications to the December 31, 2007, balance sheet have been made to conform to current presentation. No totals have changed.

Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors discussed herein and those factors discussed in detail in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of the Registrant (the Company) should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and related notes and other statistical information included elsewhere herein.

General
    Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc. (Company) was incorporated as a Maryland corporation on October 31, 1995. The Company owns all of the stock of Calvin B. Taylor Banking Company (Bank), a commercial bank that was established in 1890 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on December 17, 1907. The Bank operates nine banking offices in Worcester County, Maryland and one banking office in Ocean View, Delaware. The Bank's administrative office is located in Berlin, Maryland. The Bank is engaged in a general commercial and retail banking business serving individuals, businesses, and governmental units in Worcester County, Maryland, Ocean View, Delaware, and neighboring counties.
    The Company currently engages in no business other than owning and managing the Bank. The Bank employed 92 full time equivalent employees as of June 30, 2008. The Bank hires seasonal employees during the summer. The Company has no employees other than those hired by the Bank.

Critical Accounting Policies
    The Company’s financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting measurements and estimates of inherently uncertain matters. When applying accounting policies in areas that are subjective in nature, management uses its best judgment to arrive at the carrying value of certain assets. One of the most critical accounting policies applied is related to the valuation of the loan portfolio.
    The allowance for loan losses (ALLL) represents management’s best estimate of inherent probable losses in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. It is one of the most difficult and subjective judgments. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is evaluated no less than quarterly. The determination of the balance of the allowance for loan losses is based on management’s judgments about the credit quality of the loan portfolio as of the review date. It should be sufficient to absorb losses in the loan portfolio as determined by management’s consideration of factors including an analysis of historical losses, specific reserves for non-performing or past due loans, delinquency trends, portfolio composition (including segment growth or shifting of balances between segments, products and processes, and concentrations of credit, both regional and by relationship), lending staff experience and changes, critical documentation and policy exceptions, risk rating analysis, interest rates and the competitive environment, economic conditions in the Bank’s service area, and results of independent reviews, including audits and regulatory examinations.
    In 2007, the Company determined that the allowance for loan losses was overstated as a result of provisions charged to earnings in years prior to 2003. A prior period adjustment to revalue the ALLL was recorded, resulting in the restatement of average balances and ratios previously reported for quarter ended June 30, 2007. The prior period adjustment has no impact on previously reported earnings. The result of the restatement of prior periods was to increase average net loans, total assets, the net credit for deferred income taxes, and retained earnings in each restated period. The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed on March 17, 2008, contains details regarding the restatement. It is the belief of management that the restatement of average balances, yields and various ratios as of June 30, 2007, will not alter conclusions drawn by those who relied on the Company’s originally filed statements for that period.

Financial Condition
    Total assets of the Company decreased $5.1 million from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008. Combined deposits and customer repurchase agreements decreased $7.3 million during the same period. Management believes that the reduction of deposit balances results from a continuing general economic downturn, combined with competition for deposits among local and regional banks. For further discussion of seasonal activity, see the section titled Liquidity.
    Average total assets and average total deposits decreased $11.0 million and $13.5 million, respectively, from second quarter 2007 to second quarter 2008. Management carefully monitors deposit reductions and the resulting effect on liquidity. Deposit decreases have been funded by reductions in the investment portfolio.

Loan Portfolio
    During the first half of 2008, the Bank’s gross loan portfolio increased $3.5 million. Funding for these loans was provided by reduction of the investment portfolio, including federal funds sold. As loans earn at higher average rates than investments, this shift has a positive effect on earnings. The increase in loans does not negatively impact the Company’s ability to meet liquidity demands.
    The Company makes loans to customers located primarily in the Delmarva region. Although the loan portfolio is diversified, its performance will be influenced by the economy of the region.

Loan Quality and the Allowance for Loan Losses
    The allowance for loan losses (ALLL) represents an amount which management believes to be adequate to absorb identified and inherent losses in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. Valuation of the allowance is completed no less than quarterly. The determination of the allowance is inherently subjective as it relies on estimates of potential loss related to specific loans, the effects of portfolio trends, and other internal and external factors.
    The ALLL consists of (i) formula-based reserves comprised of potential losses in the balance of the loan portfolio segmented into homogeneous pools, (ii) specific reserves comprised of potential losses on loans that management has identified as impaired and (iii) unallocated reserves. Unallocated reserves are not associated with a specific portfolio segment or a specific loan, but may be appropriate if properly supported and in accordance with GAAP.
    The Company evaluates loan portfolio risk for the purpose of establishing an adequate allowance for loan losses. In determining an adequate level for the formula-based portion of the ALLL, management considers historical loss experience for major types of loans. Homogenous categories of loans are evaluated based on loss experience in the most recent five years, applied to the current portfolio. This formulation gives weight to portfolio size and loss experience for categories of real estate construction loans, other real estate secured loans, other loans to commercial borrowers, and other consumer loans. However, historical data may not be an accurate predictor of loss potential in the current loan portfolio. Management also evaluates trends in delinquencies, the composition of the portfolio, concentrations of credit, and changes in lending products, processes, or staffing. Management further considers external factors such as the interest rate environment, competition, current local and national economic trends, and the results of recent independent reviews by auditors and banking regulators.
    The ongoing slow-down in the real-estate market has affected both the price and time to market residential and commercial properties. Management closely monitors such trends and the potential effect on the Company, but to date in management’s opinion, they have not impacted the quality of or loss potential in the Bank’s real estate secured loan portfolio. For all periods presented, there were no specific adjustments made to the ALLL in connection with management’s evaluation of these trends as management determined that they have not impacted the quality of the loan portfolio. Although the real estate market is less robust than in recent years, management does not expect losses in the real estate portfolio due to the Bank’s conservative underwriting practices. Management closely monitors conditions that might indicate deterioration of collateral value on significant loans and obtains additional collateral as required to protect the Bank from exposure.
    Management employs a risk rating system which gives weight to collateral status (secured vs. unsecured), and to the absence or improper execution of critical contract or collateral documents. Unsecured loans and those loans with critical documentation exceptions, as defined by management, are considered to have greater loss exposure. Management incorporates these factors in the formula-based portion of the ALLL. Additionally, consideration is given to those segments of the loan portfolio which management deems to pose the greatest likelihood of loss.

- 11 -

    Management believes that in a general economic slow-down, such as the region is experiencing in early 2008, the Bank’s greatest likelihood of loss is in unsecured loans - commercial and consumer, and in secured consumer loans. Reserves for these segments of the portfolio are included in the formula-based portion of the ALLL. As of June 30, 2008, management reserved 35 bp against unsecured loans, and 30 bp against consumer loans secured by other than real estate. Both of these reserves were increased during the first quarter of this year, from 25 bp at December 31, 2007 to current levels.
    Historically, the absence or improper execution of a document has not resulted in a loss to the Bank, however, management recognizes that the Bank’s loss exposure is increased until a critical contract or collateral documentation exception is cured. At June 30, 2008, management reserved 10 bp against the outstanding balances of loans identified as having critical documentation exceptions.
    The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings in the current period to maintain the allowance at a level management has determined to be appropriate. The allowance is increased by current period provisions and by recoveries of amounts previously charged-off. The allowance is decreased when loans are charged-off as losses, which occurs when they are deemed to be uncollectible. Adjustments made to bring the balance in the allowance to the level established by management may result in an increase or decrease to expense. A provision of $5,284 was made in the second quarter of 2008. A total of $76,493 has been provided in 2008. No provision for loan losses was made in the second quarter or the year to date ending June 30, 2007.
    Management considers the June 30, 2008 allowance appropriate and adequate to absorb identified and inherent losses in the loan portfolio. As of June 30, 2008, management has not identified any loans which are anticipated to be charged-off within the next 12 months. However, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additional increases in the loan loss allowance will not be required.
    The following is a schedule of transactions in the allowance for loan losses. The Bank experienced net recoveries last year and net charge-offs in the current year to date. Management does not detect any meaningful trend in the year-to-year relationship of net charge-offs to net recoveries. Rather, these are natural swings of activity in a loan portfolio that experiences minimal losses.

    The accrual of interest on a loan is discontinued when principal or interest is ninety days past due or when the loan is determined to be impaired, unless collateral is sufficient to discharge the debt in full and the loan is in process of collection. When a loan is placed in nonaccruing status, any interest previously accrued but unpaid, is reversed from interest income. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans may be recorded as cash basis income, or as a reduction of principal, depending on management’s judgment on a loan by loan basis. Accrual of interest may be restored when all principal and interest are current and management believes that future payments will be received in accordance with the loan agreement.
    Nonperforming loans are loans past due 90 or more days and still accruing plus nonaccrual loans. Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonperforming loans combined with real estate acquired in foreclosure and held for sale. There were no nonperforming assets other than nonperforming loans as of June 30, 2008 or December 31, 2007, as shown in the following table.

    Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information, management considers it unlikely that collection of principal and interest payments will be made according to contractual terms. Generally, loans are not reviewed for impairment until the accrual of interest has been discontinued, although management may categorize a performing loan as impaired based on knowledge of the borrower’s financial condition, devaluation of collateral, or other circumstances that are deemed relevant to loan collection. Impaired loans may have specific reserves, or valuation allowances, allocated to them in the ALLL. Estimates of loss reserves on impaired loans may be determined based on any of the three measurement methods described in Financial Accounting Standard 114 (FAS 114): (1) the present value of future cash flows, (2) the fair value of collateral, if repayment of the loan is expected to be provided by underlying collateral, or (3) the loan’s observable fair price. The Bank selects and applies, on a loan-by-loan basis, the appropriate valuation method. Loans determined to be impaired, but for which no specific valuation allowance is made because management believes the loan is secured with adequate collateral or the Bank will not take a loss on such loan, are grouped with other homogeneous loans for evaluation under formula-based criteria described previously.
    Impaired loans including nonaccruing loans totaled $545,543 and $595,774, at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Principal balances of impaired loans include $419,770 and $436,802 which is guaranteed by a government agency at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Liquidity
    Liquidity represents the ability to provide steady sources of funds for loan commitments and investment activities, as well as to provide sufficient funds to cover deposit withdrawals and payment of debt and operating obligations. These funds can be obtained by converting assets to cash or by attracting new deposits. The Company’s major sources of liquidity are loan repayments, maturities of short-term investments including federal funds sold, and increases in core deposits. Funds from seasonal deposits are generally invested in short-term U.S. Treasury Bills and overnight federal funds.
    Due to its location in a seasonal resort area, the Bank typically experiences a decline in deposits, federal funds sold and investment securities throughout the first quarter of the year when business customers are using their deposits to meet cash flow needs. Late in the second quarter, additional sources of liquidity become more readily available as business borrowers start repaying loans, and the Bank receives deposits from seasonal business customers, summer residents and tourists. During the second quarter of 2008, this traditional pattern did not apply. Management believes that customers affected by the continuing economic downturn are not able to sustain previous levels of savings.
    Average liquid assets (cash and amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold, and investment securities) compared to average deposits and retail repurchase agreements were 35.70% for the second quarter of 2008 compared to 39.66% for the second quarter of 2007.
    The Company has available lines of credit, including overnight federal funds, reverse repurchase agreements and letters of credit, totaling $27,000,000 as of June 30, 2008.
    Average net loans to average deposits were 87.83% versus 81.85% as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Average loans increased by 2.31% while average deposits fell by 4.65%. Funding for loan growth and reductions in deposit balances was provided by a reduction of the investment portfolio. As loans earn at higher average rates than investments, this shift has a positive effect on earnings. Average deposit balance reductions occurred in both interest-bearing and non-interest bearing accounts. While earnings are reduced by the shift of demand and savings deposits to higher rate time deposits, neither this movement nor the increase in loans has a negative impact on the Company’s ability to meet liquidity demands.

Interest Rate Sensitivity
    The primary objective of asset/liability management is to ensure the steady growth of the Company's primary source of earnings, net interest income. Net interest income can fluctuate with significant interest rate movements. To lessen the impact of these margin swings, the balance sheet should be structured so that repricing opportunities exist for both assets and liabilities in roughly equivalent amounts at approximately the same time intervals. Imbalances in these repricing opportunities at any point in time constitute interest rate sensitivity.
    Interest rate sensitivity refers to the responsiveness of interest-bearing assets and liabilities to changes in market interest rates. The rate-sensitive position, or gap, is the difference in the volume of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities at a given time interval. The general objective of gap management is to actively manage rate-sensitive assets and liabilities to reduce the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the net interest margin. Management generally attempts to maintain a balance between rate-sensitive assets and liabilities as the exposure period is lengthened to minimize the overall interest rate risk to the Company.
    Interest rate sensitivity may be controlled on either side of the balance sheet. On the asset side, management exercises some control over maturities. Also, loans are written to provide repricing opportunities on fixed rate notes. The Company's investment portfolio, including federal funds sold, provides the most flexible and fastest control over rate sensitivity since it can generally be restructured more quickly than the loan portfolio.
    On the liability side, deposit products are structured to offer incentives to attain the maturity distribution desired. Competitive factors sometimes make control over deposits more difficult and, therefore, less effective as an interest rate sensitivity management tool.
    The asset mix of the balance sheet is continually evaluated in terms of several variables: yield, credit quality, appropriate funding sources, and liquidity. Management of the liability mix of the balance sheet focuses on expanding the various funding sources.
    As of June 30, 2008, the Company was cumulatively asset-sensitive for all time horizons. For asset-sensitive institutions, if interest rates should decrease, the net interest margins should decline. Since all interest rates and yields do not adjust at the same velocity, the gap is only a general indicator of rate sensitivity.

Results of Operations
    Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008, was $1,642,937 or $.53 per share, compared to $1,894,655 or $.60 per share for the second quarter of 2007. This represents a decrease of $251,718 or 13.29% from the prior year. Year to date net income has decreased $418,891 or $.11 per share from $3,684,027 or $1.17 in 2007 to $3,265,136 or $1.06 in 2008. The key components of net income are discussed in the following paragraphs.
    For the first six months of 2008 compared to 2007, net interest income decreased $429,525 (5.10%). Net interest income decreased $253,154 (5.97%) in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to market rate reductions which have resulted in the downward repricing of overnight federal funds. Interest expense in the second quarter of 2008 was $138,909 (12.26%) less than in the comparable period last year, due to lower demand deposit and savings balances and lower rates on time deposits.
    The Company’s net interest income is one of the most important factors in evaluating its financial performance. Management uses interest sensitivity analysis to determine the effect of rate changes. Net interest income is projected over a one-year period to determine the effect of an increase or decrease in the prime rate of 100 basis points. If prime were to decrease one hundred basis points, and all assets and liabilities maturing within that period were fully adjusted for the rate change, the Company would experience a decrease of approximately 7.2% in net interest income. Conversely, if prime were to increase one hundred basis points, and all assets and liabilities maturing within that period were fully adjusted for the rate change, the Company would experience an increase in net interest income of the same percentage. The sensitivity analysis does not consider the likelihood of these rate changes nor whether management’s reaction to this rate change would be to reprice its loans or deposits or both.
    The tax-equivalent quarterly yield on interest-earning assets decreased by 34 basis points from 6.47% for second quarter 2007 to 6.13% in 2008. The quarterly yield on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 21 basis points from 2.10% in 2007 to 1.89% in 2008. In combination, these shifts contribute to a decrease in net margin on interest-earning assets of 21 basis points.
    The following table presents information including average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the amount of related interest income and interest expense, and the resulting yields by category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability. In this table, dividends and interest on tax-exempt securities and loans are reported on a fully taxable equivalent basis, which is a non-GAAP measure as defined in SEC Regulation G and Item 10 of SEC Regulation S-K. Management believes that these measures provide better yield comparability as a tool for managing net interest income.

    A provision for loan losses of $5,284 was charged to expense during the second quarter of 2008. There was no provision charged to expense in the second quarter of 2007. Net loans charged-off (recovered) were $69,039 and (2,563) during the first half of 2008 and 2007, respectively. Management does not detect any meaningful trend in the year-to-year relationship of net charge-offs to net recoveries. Rather, these are natural swings of activity in a loan portfolio that experiences minimal losses. See Loan Quality and the Allowance for Loan Losses for a discussion of the provision for loan losses.
    Noninterest revenue for the second quarter of 2008 is $29,896 (5.90%) higher than the comparable period last year. Noninterest revenue for the year-to-date is $32,555 (3.35%) more than last year. For both the quarter and the year-to-date, increased ATM and VISA debit card revenues as well as increases in various miscellaneous fees such as wire transfer fees and savings service charges helped to offset declines in deposit account service charges. All increases are volume related.

    Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2008 is $174,376, (9.84%), more than last year. Noninterest expense year-to-date is $195,928, (5.44%) more than last year. The most notable increase is $88,742 (4.19%) in combined salaries and employee benefits for the six month period. This results from annual salary increases and cost of group insurance. Occupancy, furniture and equipment, and other operating expenses have increased due to higher property taxes and utility costs and timing of routine period expenses that are recognized on a cash basis.
    Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2008 are $250,500 lower than the same period last year, on a pre-tax income decrease of $669,391. This is consistent with the Company’s effective tax rate of 36.23%.

Plans of Operation
    The Bank offers a full range of deposit services including checking, NOW, Money Market, and savings accounts, and time deposits including certificates of deposit. The transaction, savings, and certificate of deposit accounts are tailored to the Bank’s principal market areas at rates competitive to those offered in the area. The Bank also offers Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA), Health Savings Accounts, and Education Savings Accounts. All deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to the maximum amount allowed by law (generally, $100,000 per depositor, except for $250,000 per depositor for certain retirement accounts, subject to aggregation rules). The Bank solicits these accounts from individuals, businesses, associations and organizations, and governmental authorities. The Bank offers individual customers up to $50 million in FDIC insured deposits through the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Services®.
    The Bank also offers a full range of short- to medium-term commercial and personal loans. Commercial loans include both secured and unsecured loans for working capital (including inventory and receivables), business expansion (including acquisition of real estate and improvements), and purchase of equipment and machinery. Consumer loans include secured and unsecured loans for financing automobiles, home improvements, education, and personal investments. The Bank originates commercial and residential mortgage loans and real estate construction and acquisition loans. These lending activities are subject to a variety of lending limits imposed by state and federal law. The Bank lends to directors and officers of the Company and the Bank under terms comparable to those offered to other borrowers entering into similar loan transactions. The Board of Directors approves all loans to officers and directors and reviews these loans every six months.
    Other bank services include cash management services, 24-hour ATM’s, debit cards, safe deposit boxes, travelers’ checks, direct deposit of payroll and social security funds, and automatic drafts for various accounts. The Bank offers bank-by-phone and Internet banking services, including electronic bill-payment, to both commercial and retail customers. Early in 2008, the Bank began offering a remote capture service that enables commercial customers to electronically capture check images and make on-line deposits. The Bank also offers non-deposit products including retail repurchase agreements and discount brokerage services through a correspondent bank.

Capital Resources and Adequacy
    Total stockholders’ equity increased $2,629,610 from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008. This increase is attributable to comprehensive income recorded during the period, as detailed in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, reduced by $478,440 used to repurchase and retire 12,578 shares of common stock.
    Under the capital guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC, the Company and Bank are currently required to maintain a minimum risk-based total capital ratio of 8%, with at least 4% being Tier 1 capital. Tier 1 capital consists of stockholders' equity less accumulated other comprehensive income. In addition, the Company and the Bank must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) of at least 4%, but this minimum ratio is increased by 100 to 200 basis points for other than the highest-rated institutions.
    Tier one risk-based capital ratios of the Company as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were 33.7% and 33.1%, respectively. Both are substantially in excess of regulatory minimum requirements.

Website Access to SEC Reports
    The Bank maintains an Internet website at
www.taylorbank.com. The Company’s periodic SEC reports, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K, are accessible through this website. Access to these filings is free of charge. The reports are available as soon as practicable after they are filed electronically with the SEC.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
    The Company’s principal market risk exposure relates to interest rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Unlike most industrial companies, the assets and liabilities of financial institutions such as the Company and the Bank are primarily monetary in nature. Therefore, interest rates have a more significant effect on the Company's performance than do the effects of changes in the general rate of inflation and change in prices. In addition, interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. As discussed previously, management monitors and seeks to manage the relationships between interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against wide interest rate fluctuations, including those resulting from inflation.
    At June 30, 2008, the Company’s interest rate sensitivity, as measured by gap analysis, showed the Company was asset-sensitive with a one-year cumulative gap of 29.07%, as a percentage of interest-earning assets. Generally asset-sensitivity indicates that assets reprice more quickly than liabilities and in a rising rate environment net interest income typically increases. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, net interest income would decline. The Bank has classified its demand mortgage and commercial loans as immediately repriceable. Unlike loans tied to prime, these rates do not necessarily change as prime changes since the decision to call the loans and change the rates rests with management.

Item 4. Controls and procedures
    Disclosure controls and procedures are designed and maintained by the Company to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s publicly filed reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner. Such information must be available to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Treasurer, to allow them to make timely decisions about required disclosures. Even a well-designed and maintained control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives are achieved. Inherent limitations in any system of controls include flawed judgment, errors, omissions, or intentional circumvention of controls.
    The Company’s management, including the CEO and Treasurer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO and Treasurer, has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. The projection of an evaluation of controls to future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may become inadequate due to changes in conditions including the degree of compliance with procedures.

Changes in Internal Controls
    During the quarter ended on the date of this report, there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As of June 30, 2008, the Company’s management, including the CEO and Treasurer, has concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting are effective.

Item 1 Legal Proceedings
            Not applicable

Item 1A Risk Factors

The Company and the Bank are subject to various types of risk during the normal conduct of business. There has been no material increase in any level of risk incurred by the Company or the Bank during the quarter covered by this report. Following are descriptions of the significant categories of risk most relevant to the Company.

Credit risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings or capital from the potential of an obligor failing to fulfill its contractual commitment to the Company. Credit risk is most closely associated with the Company’s lending activities.
Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings or capital from the potential movement in interest rates. It is the sensitivity of the Company’s future earnings to interest rate changes.
Liquidity risk is the risk to earnings or capital from the Company’s inability to meet its obligations when they come due without incurring unacceptable losses or costs.
Market risk is the risk to earnings or capital from changes in the value of portfolios of financial instruments. For the Company, market risk is the risk of a decline in market value of its securities portfolio.
Transaction risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from problems with service or product delivery. Transaction risk is the risk of a failure in the Company’s operating processes, such as automation, employee integrity, or internal controls.
Compliance risk is the risk to earnings or capital from noncompliance with laws, rules, and regulations. Compliance risk is one of the greatest risks the Company faces.
Reputation risk is the risk to earnings or capital from negative public opinion. Customer and public relations are critical to the Company’s success. Accordingly, the Company’s reputation is extremely important and anything that would impair that reputation is a significant risk.
Strategic risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from adverse business decisions or improper implementation of those decisions.

    The Company publicly announced on August 14, 2003, that it would repurchase up to 10% of its outstanding equity stock at that time, which equated to a total of 324,000 common shares available for repurchase. As of January 1, 2005, and again on May 18, 2007, this plan was renewed by public announcement, making up to 10% of the Company’s outstanding equity stock available for repurchase at the time of each renewal. This equated to a total of 314,072 common shares available for repurchase as of May 18, 2007.
    There is no expiration date for this program. No other stock repurchase plan or program existed or exists simultaneously, nor has any other plan or program expired during the period covered by this table. Common shares repurchased under this plan are retired.
