1. Basis of Presentation
    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to 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 three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2009. 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, 2008.
    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:

  2009 2008
Three months ended March 31                     3,039,978                     3,097,759

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 March 31, 2009, values for available for sale investment securities were established as follows:

  Total Level 1 Inputs Level 2 Inputs
Investment securities available for sale  $      24,699,179  $      20,452,740  $        4,246,439

5. New accounting standards
    The following accounting pronouncements have been approved by the Financial Accounting Standards Board but have not become effective as of December 31, 2008. These pronouncements would apply to the Company if the Company or the Bank entered into an applicable activity.
    In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141, Revised 2007 (SFAS 141R), Business Combinations. SFAS 141R's objective is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after December 31, 2008. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 141R to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
    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 expands disclosure requirements to provide greater transparency about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, and the accounting for those instruments and related hedge items. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged.   Management does not expect SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
    In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The implementation of SFAS 162 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
    FASB Statement No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60 clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. This Statement also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS No. 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning 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.
    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.

Part I. Financial Information
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

    This Report contains statements which constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements appear in a number of places in this Report and include all statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, its directors, or its officers with respect to, among other things: (i) the Company's financing plans; (ii) trends affecting the Company's financial condition or results of operations; (iii) the Company's growth strategy and operating strategy; and (iv) the declaration and payment of dividends. 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 March 31, 2009. 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.

Financial Condition
    Total assets of the Company increased $4.7 million from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009. Combined deposits and customer repurchase agreements increased $4.1 million during the same period. Average total assets and average total deposits increased $8.8 million and $10.4 million, respectively, from first quarter 2008 to first quarter 2009. Management believes that some of the recent growth in deposit balances results from market instability that is part of a continuing general economic recession. Consumers often seek the safety of conservatively run community banks when the stock market has a significant and prolonged downturn. The Bank would normally expect to see deposits falling during the first quarter of the year as business customers in the resort area purchase inventory for the upcoming summer season however, this pattern has not prevailed this year. For further discussion of seasonal activity, see the section titled Liquidity.

Loan Portfolio
    From December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009 the gross loan portfolio has grown $3.5 million. Growth in the loan portfolio has been funded by increased deposit balances. Because loans earn at higher average rates than the cost of funds, this use of investable funds has a positive effect on earnings. There is no adverse impact on the Company’s ability to meet liquidity demands resulting from increases in the loan portfolio.
    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. In recent months, borrowers whose cash flow is impaired as a result of prevailing economic conditions have also experienced depressed real estate values. Management recognizes that the combination of these circumstances – reduced revenue and depressed collateral values, may increase the likelihood of loss in the Bank’s real estate secured loan portfolio. Management closely monitors conditions that might indicate deterioration of collateral value on significant loans and, when possible, obtains additional collateral as required to limit the Bank’s loss exposure.

- 10 -

    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.
    Management believes that in a general economic downturn, such as the region has experienced through 2008 and early 2009, 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 March 31, 2009, management reserved 65 bp against unsecured loans, and consumer loans secured by other than real estate. Both of these reserves were increased during the first quarter of this year in recognition of the prolonged economic challenges to regional, national, and global economies. Additionally, management reserved 10.0% against overdrawn checking accounts which are a distinct high risk category of unsecured loan.
    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 March 31, 2009, 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 $333,100 was made in the first quarter of 2009. A provision of $71,209 was made in the comparable period in 2008. The year-to-year increase in the level of the ALLL and the provision for loan loss reflects the consequences of the current economy. As the recession continues and borrowers’ suffer personal and professional financial hardship, the likelihood of loss on previously performing loans has increased. As Management identifies loans with heightened loss potential, a provision for those losses is recorded.
    Management considers the March 31, 2009 allowance appropriate and adequate to absorb identified and inherent losses in the loan portfolio. As of March 31, 2009, management has not identified any loans which are anticipated to be wholly 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.

- 11 -

    The following is a schedule of transactions in the allowance for loan losses. The Bank experienced net charge-offs of $1,060 in the first quarter of 2008 and $73,499 in the current year to date. Management attributes the increased loan losses to the effects of the current economic recession on some of the Bank’s customers and, subsequently, on the Bank.

    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.

- 12 -

    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 March 31, 2009 or 2008, or December 31, 2008, as shown in the following table.

    Included in amounts past due 90 days or more and still accruing at both March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, is a loan with a principal balance of $4,500,000. The Bank has been notified that there is a lien on the property securing this loan that is superior to the Bank’s liens. The Bank was not aware of this lien at the time the loan was originated, and the Bank’s settlement agent did not discover the lien during the title examination process. The Bank has filed a claim with the title company that has insured its lien. The Bank believes the title company will indemnify the Bank for any losses resulting from the superior lien, although there is no guarantee that this will be the case. The Bank will review the accrual status of this loan as it learns more information regarding its claim. As of March 31, 2009, there is $100,788 of accrued interest on this loan that is included in interest income in 2009. As of December 31, 2008, there was $86,103 of accrued interest on this loan that was included in interest income in 2008.
    Also included in amounts past due 90 days or more and still accruing at March 31, 2009, is a loan with a principal balance of $2,755,000. The Bank has entered into an agreement with the guarantor to make a payment of $800,000 no later than May 8, 2009. Upon receipt of this payment, interest will be brought current and a principal reduction will occur. Management believes this payment will be received as promised. Management is working with the borrower to restructure the remaining balance of this loan.
    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 value. 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 $8,826,665 and $8,888,200, at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. Principal balances of impaired loans include $419,770 which is guaranteed by a government agency at both March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008.

Liquidity
ent 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. Beginning late in the second quarter and throughout the third 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.
    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 36.91% for the first quarter of 2009 compared to 37.62% for the same quarter of 2008.
    The Company has available lines of credit, including overnight federal funds and reverse repurchase agreements, totaling $28,000,000 as of March 31, 2009.
    Average net loans to average deposits were 84.21% versus 85.00% as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Average net loans increased by 2.54% while average deposits grew by 3.51%. Funding for loan growth was provided by deposit increases. Because loans earn higher average rates than the Bank’s cost of funds, this results in a positive effect on earnings. Average deposit balance increases occurred in interest-bearing accounts, especially time deposits. Average non-interest bearing deposit balances dropped by a modest ..79%. Neither changes in deposit portfolio composition nor the increase in outstanding loan balances 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 March 31, 2009, 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 March 31, 2009, was $1,338,690 or $.44 per share, compared to $1,622,199 or $.52 per share for the first quarter of 2008. This represents a decrease of $283,509 or 17.48% from the prior year. The key components of net income are discussed in the following paragraphs.
    For the first three months of 2009 compared to 2008, net interest income decreased $81,061 (2.03%). The decrease in interest and dividend revenue is primarily attributable to market rate reductions which have resulted in the dramatic downward repricing of overnight federal funds. Interest expense decreased by $445,767 (38.06%) less than in the comparable period last year due to lower rates on all deposits, but particularly time deposits.
    The Company’s net interest income is one of the most important factors in evaluating its financial performance. Management uses interest rate 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 5.9% 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 77 basis points from 6.34% for first quarter 2008 to 5.57% in 2009. The quarterly yield on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 67 basis points from 1.66% in 2008 to .99% in 2009. 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.

    Provisions for loan losses of $333,100 and $71,209 were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Net loans charged-off were $73,499 and $1,060 during the first quarters of 2009 and 2008, respectively. Management attributes the increased loan losses to the generally poor state of the economy which has had an adverse effect on certain borrowing customers. See Loan Quality and the Allowance for Loan Losses for a discussion of the provision for loan losses.
    Noninterest revenue for the first quarter of 2009 is $7,416 (1.58%) lower than the comparable period last year. Increased service charges on deposit accounts and miscellaneous fees such as wire transfer fees reflect fee increases as well as increased volume. Increased ATM and VISA debit card revenues are volume related. These increases are offset by the reduced rate of growth in cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance, and by reduced miscellaneous revenues from various sources such as check cashing fees, and merchant credit card processing rebates.
    Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2009 is $111,441 (6.02%), more than last year. Increased salaries are consistent with annual increases in compensation levels. The increase in occupancy expense is caused by higher property tax and insurance costs, coupled with the loss of rental revenue on two bank-owned properties adjacent to branches. Furniture and equipment expense includes higher equipment maintenance contract costs due to contracts on additional equipment and the timing of other contract billings. ATM and debit card expenses are higher due to the cost of a fraud monitoring service which the Bank engaged mid-year in 2008. Other operating expenses include increased correspondent bank fees that result from carrying lower reserve balances, and increased legal fees related to loan collections. Management expects significant increases in FDIC insurance premiums in future quarters of this year due to increased rates and assessable balances, the expiration of the one-time insurance premium credit, and a probable special assessment to restore the deposit insurance fund to target levels.
    Income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 are $178,300 lower than the same period last year, on a pre-tax income decrease of $461,809. This is consistent with the Company’s effective tax rate of approximately 36.0%.

    Total stockholders’ equity increased $434,898 from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009. This increase is attributable to comprehensive income recorded during the period, as detailed in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, reduced by $720,276 used to repurchase and retire 19,439 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 March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were 31.3% and 31.8%, respectively. Both are substantially in excess of regulatory minimum requirements.
    The Company and the Bank did not seek assistance under the federally funded Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) developed in the last quarter of 2008. Neither the Company nor the Bank will benefit directly from TARP funds. The Bank has not engaged in subprime mortgage lending, and has no investments in mortgage backed securities.
    Late in 2008, the Company and the Bank elected to participate in the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLG), which, in combination with temporary deposit insurance limit increases, provide the security of additional insurance to depositors. These actions have contributed to an increase in deposits in the Bank as investors seek the safety of insured deposits in community banks. Deposit insurance premiums will increase as a result of the higher deposit balances, the higher insurance limits, participation in TLG, and higher insurance rates. Management does not expect to pass all of the additional insurance premium costs on to customers.
   In the most stable economic times, the Company cannot reliably predict the effect of changing government policies on earnings, or loan and deposit levels. Management expects 2009 to bring lower interest revenues and higher fees associated with loan collection. The full impact of the dramatic developments of 2008 on future results of operation of the Company and the Bank, are uncertain.

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 March 31, 2009, the Company’s interest rate sensitivity, as measured by gap analysis, showed the Company was asset-sensitive with a one-year cumulative gap of 23.89%, 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 March 31, 2009. 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 March 31, 2009, 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.
