Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 20212022 and 20202021

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shore Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiarysubsidiaries with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. The consolidated financial statements conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and to prevailing practices within the banking industry. The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position at June 30, 2021,2022, the consolidated results of income and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 20202021 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The amounts as of December 31, 20202021 were derived from the 20202021 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report of Shore Bancshares, Inc. on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. For purposes of comparability, certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to amounts previously reported to conform with the current period presentation.

Risks and Uncertainties

Since the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") was declared a pandemic in March 2020, COVID-19 has significantly affected our communities, customers, and operations.  COVID-19 continues to have a significant impact in 2021, however, the  extent of its effects are dependent upon multiple factors, such as the extent of distribution and efficacy of vaccines, COVID-19 variants, pandemic-related restrictions, and government response, among others.  As a result, the ultimate effects of COVID-19 over the longer term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.  Risks and uncertainties arising from the pandemic remain, primarily concerning the ability of customers to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company as well as potential operational disruptions and the ability of the Company to generate demand for its products and services. Accordingly, estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements may be subject to significant adjustments in future periods.

Recent Accounting Standards and Other Authoritative Guidance

ASU No. 2016-13 – In June 2016, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASUAccounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.”  The amendments in this ASU, among other things, require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. AtThe FASB has issued multiple updates to ASU 2016-13 as codified in Topic 326, including ASU’s 2019-04, 2019-05, 2019-10, 2019-11, 2020-02, and 2020-03.  These ASU’s have provided for various minor technical corrections and improvements to the FASB’s October 16, 2019 meeting,codification as well as other transition matters.  Smaller reporting companies who file with the Board affirmed its decision to amend the effective date of this ASU for many companies.   Public business entities that are SEC filers, excluding those meeting the smaller reporting company definition, retained the initial required implementation date of fiscal years,U.S. Securities and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.  AllExchange Commission (SEC) and all other entities will bewho do not file with the SEC are required to apply the guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022. 2022.  At this time, the Company has established a project management team which meets periodically to discuss and assign roles and responsibilities, key tasks to complete, and a general timeline to be followed for implementation. The team has been working with an advisory consultant and has purchased a vendor model for implementation. Historical data has been collected and uploaded to the new model and the team is in the process of finalizing the methodologies that will be utilized.

Table of Contents

The team is currently running a parallel simulation to its current incurred loss impairment model. The Company is continuing to evaluate the extent of the potential impact of this standard and continues to keep current on evolving interpretations and industry practices via webcasts, publications, conferences, and peer bank meetings.

Effective November 25, 2019, the SEC adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 119.  SAB 119 updated portions of SEC interpretative guidance to align with FASB ASC 326, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.”  It covers topics including (1) measuring current expected credit losses; (2) development, governance, and documentation of a systematic methodology; (3) documenting the results of a systematic methodology; and (4) validating a systematic methodology.

ASU No. 2022-02 – In March 2022, the (FASB) issued (ASU)  No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” ASU 2022-02 addresses areas identified by the FASB as

9

Table of Contents

part of its post-implementation review of the credit losses standard (ASU 2016-13) that introduced the CECL model. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan refinancing’s and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require a public business entity to disclose current-period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively, except for the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of troubled debt restructurings (TDR), an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2016-13, the effective dates for ASU 2022-02 are the same as the effective dates in ASU 2016-13. Early adoption is permitted if an entity has adopted ASU 2016-13. An entity may elect to early adopt the amendments about TDRs and related disclosure enhancements separately from the amendments related to vintage disclosures. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2022-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2022-03 - In June 2022, the (FASB) issued (ASU) No. 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value.  The ASU is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2022-03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2020-04 – In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” These amendments provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Subsequently, in January 2021, the (FASB) issued (ASU) No. 2021-01 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope.” This ASU clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The ASU also amends the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. An entity may elect to apply ASU No. 2021-01 on contract modifications that change the interest rate used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment retrospectively as of any date from the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, or prospectively to new modifications from any date within the interim period that includes or is subsequent to January 7, 2021, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued. An entity may elect to apply ASU No. 2021-01 to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020.  At present, the Bank has limited exposure to LIBOR based pricing. LIBOR based loans only comprise 2619 loans or 7.6%3.9% of the loan portfolio. The Bank is confident it can successfully negotiate a migration to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) between now and the implementation date. The Bank will notify customers within 120 days prior to migration to SOFR. The Bank acknowledges the replacement rate will be more volatile based on different countries migrating to different indexes and limited liquidity to support the rate. The Bank further acknowledges the volatility will be greatly influenced by the support provided by the Federal Reserve.

Note 2 – Business Combination

On October 31, 2021 (“Acquisition Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of Severn Bancorp, Inc. (“Severn”), a Maryland charted commercial bank, in accordance with the definitive agreement that was entered into on March 3, 2021, by and among the Company and Severn. The Company acquired Severn to access deposits and deploy excess capital into a high growth market, while also enhancing scale to drive efficiency and profitability. Additionally, this transaction creates a competitive position in the Columbia/Baltimore/Towson MSA, while filling in our current market footprint. In May 2021,connection with the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity – Classified Written Call Options (a consensuscompletion of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” The ASU addresses how an issuer should accountmerger, former Severn shareholders received 0.6207 shares of Shore common stock and $1.59 in cash for modificationseach share of Severn common stock. Based on the $18.48 per share closing price of the Company’s common stock on October 29, 2021 and including the fair value of options converted or an exchangecashed-out, the total transaction value was approximately $169.8 million. Upon completion of freestanding written call options classified as equity that is not within the scopeacquisition, Shore shareholders owned approximately 59.6% of another Topic. For both publicthe combined company, and private companies, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Transition is prospective. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2021-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.former Severn shareholders owned approximately 40.4%.

Recent Accounting DevelopmentsAs of October 31, 2021, Severn, headquartered in Annapolis, MD, had more than $1.1 billion in assets and operated 7 full-service community banking offices throughout Anne Arundel County, Maryland.

In December 2020,The acquisition of Severn was accounted for as a business combination using the Consolidated Appropriations Actacquisition method of 2021 (“CAA”) was passed.  Under Section 541accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration paid were recorded at estimated fair values on the Acquisition Date. The provisional amount of goodwill recognized as of the CAA, Congress extendedAcquisition Date was approximately $45.9 million. The Company will continue to keep the measurement of goodwill open for any additional adjustments to the fair value of certain accounts, for example loans, that may arise during the Company’s final review procedures of any updated information. If considered necessary, any subsequent adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, identifiable intangible assets, or modified manyother purchase accounting adjustments will result in adjustments to goodwill within the first 12 months following the Acquisition Date. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

As a result of the relief programs first created byintegration of the CARES Act, including the PPP loan program and treatmentoperations of certain loan modifications relatedSevern, it is not practicable to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company recorded all loans acquired at the estimated fair value on the acquisition date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses.

The Company determined the net discounted value of cash flows on gross loans totaling $593.3 million, including 1,306 performing loans and 162 PCI loans. The valuation took into consideration the loans’ underlying characteristics, including account types, remaining terms, annual interest rates, interest types, past delinquencies, timing of principal and interest payments, current market rates, loan-to-loan value ratios, loss exposures, and remaining balances. These performing loans were segregated into pools based on loan and payment type. The effect of the valuation process was a total net discount of $8.7 million at acquisition.

Note 23 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of potential common stock equivalents (stock-based awards). The following table provides information relating to the calculation of earnings per common share:

All of the securities with unrealized losses in the portfolio have modest duration risk, low credit risk, and minimal losses when compared to total amortized cost. The unrealized losses on debt securities that exist are the result of market changes in interest rates since original purchase.purchase and are not related to credit concerns. Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity for debt securities, the Company considers the unrealized losses to be temporary.

Loans included deferred costs, net of deferred fees, of $622$416 thousand and discounts on acquired loans$516 thousand, respectively, as part of $754 thousand at December 31, 2020.the Northwest Bancshares, Inc. branch acquisition in 2017. At June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, included in total loans were $42.5$451.5 million and $52.3$553.0 million in loans, respectively, acquired as part of the NWBI branch acquisition in 2017.of Severn. These balances were presented net of the related discount which totaled $7.6 million and $8.4 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Interest income on loans is accrued at the contractual rate based on the principal amount outstanding. Fees charged and costs capitalized for originating loans are being amortized substantially on the interest method over the term of the loan. A loan is placed on nonaccrual (i.e., interest income is no longer accrued) when it is specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Any unpaid interest previously accrued on those loans is reversed from income.

Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance unless collectability of the principal amount is reasonably assured, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

A loan is considered impaired if it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest payments according to the loan’s contractual terms when due. An impaired loan may show deficiencies in the borrower’s overall financial condition, payment history, support available from financial guarantors and/or the fair market value of collateral. The impairment of a loan is measured at the present value of expected future cash flows using the loan’s effective interest rate, or at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Generally, the Company measures impairment on such loans by reference to the fair value of the collateral. Once the amount of impairment has been determined, the uncollectible portion is charged off. Loan payments received on nonaccrual impaired loans are generally applied to the outstanding principal balance. In certain circumstances, income may be recognized on a cash basis. Generally, interest income is not recognized on impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. The allowance for credit losses may include specific reserves related to impaired loans. Specific reserves remain until charge offs are made. Impaired loans do not include groups of smaller balance homogenous loans such as residential mortgage and consumer installment loans that are evaluated collectively for impairment. Reserves for probable credit losses related to these loans are based on historical loss ratios and are included in the formula portion of the allowance for credit losses.

A loan is considered a TDR if a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and a creditor has granted a concession. Concessions may include interest rate reductions or below market interest rates, principal forgiveness, restructuring amortization schedules and other actions intended to minimize potential losses. Loans are identified to be restructured

when signs of impairment arise such as borrower interest rate reduction request, slowness to pay, or when an inability to repay becomes evident. The terms being offered are evaluated to determine if they are more liberal than those that would be indicated by policy or industry standards for similar, untroubled credits. In those situations where the terms or the interest rates are considered to be more favorable than industry standards or the Bank’s current underwriting guidelines the loan is classified as a TDR. All loans designated as TDRs are considered impaired loans and may be on either accrual or nonaccrual status. In instances where the loan has been placed on nonaccrual status, six consecutive months of timely payments are required prior to returning the loan to accrual status.

Table of Contents

All loans classified as TDRs which are restructured and accrue interest under revised terms require a full and comprehensive review of the borrower’s financial condition, capacity for repayment, realistic assessment of collateral values, and the assessment of risk entered into any workout agreement. Current financial information on the borrower, guarantor, and underlying collateral is analyzed to determine if it supports the ultimate collection of principal and interest. For commercial loans, the cash flows are analyzed, both for the underlying project and globally. For consumer loans, updated salary, credit history and cash flow information is obtained. Current market conditions are also considered. Following a full analysis, the determination of the appropriate loan structure is made.

In AprilDuring 2021 and 2020, the Company began its participationparticipated in the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”)(PPP). The PPP commenced subsequent to the passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act in March 2020, and was later expanded by the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act of April 2020. The PPP was designed to provide U.S. small businesses with cash-flow assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic through loans that are fully guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) which may be forgiven upon satisfaction of certain criteria. In December 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (“CAA”) was passed.  Under Section 541 of the CAA, Congress extended or modified many of the relief programs first created by the CARES Act, including the PPP loan program and treatment of certain loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This extension of PPP lending expired on May 31, 2021. Under both the CARES and CAA, the Company funded 2,454 loans for a cumulative balance of $196.0 million. As of June 30, 2022, the Company held PPP loans with a total outstanding balance of $1.7 million, inclusive of loans issued pre-merger and those acquired from Severn, which are included in the commercial loan segment in the table above. As of December 31, 2021, the Company held PPP loans with a total outstanding balance of $86.8$27.6 million, of which is$9.2 million was acquired from Severn, which are included in the commercial loan segment in the table above. The decrease is due to repayment and forgiveness received as of June 30, 2021.2022. As compensation for originating the loans, the Company received lender processing fees from the SBA, which were deferred, along with the related loan origination costs. These net fees are being accreted to interest income over the remaining contractual lives of the loans. Upon forgiveness of a PPP loan and repayment by the SBA, which may be prior to the loan’s maturity, the remainder of any unrecognized net fees are recognized as interest income.

The following tables provide information about all loans acquired from Severn.

At June 30, 2022, the Bank was servicing $341.8 million in loans for the Federal National Mortgage Association and $75.9 million in loans for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.

In the normal course of banking business, risks related to specific loan categories are as follows:

Construction loans – Construction loans are offered primarily to builders and individuals to finance the construction of single-family dwellings. In addition, the Bank periodically finances the construction of commercial projects. Credit risk factors include the borrower’s ability to successfully complete the construction on time and within budget, changing market conditions which could affect the value and marketability of projects, changes in the borrower’s ability or willingness to repay the loan and potentially rising interest rates which can impact both the borrower’s ability to repay and the collateral value.

Residential real estate – Residential real estate loans are typically made to consumers and are secured by residential real estate. Credit risk arises from the borrower’s continuing financial stability, which can be adversely impacted by job loss, divorce, illness, or personal bankruptcy, among other factors. Also impacting credit risk would be a shortfall in the value of the residential real estate in relation to the outstanding loan balance in the event of a default or subsequent liquidation of the real estate collateral.

 

Commercial real estate – Commercial real estate loans consist of both loans secured by owner occupied properties and non-owner occupied properties where an established banking relationship exists and involves investment properties for warehouse, retail, and office space with a history of occupancy and cash flow. These loans are subject to adverse changes in the local economy and commercial real estate markets. Credit risk associated with owner occupied properties arises from the borrower’s financial stability and the ability of the borrower and the business to repay the loan. Non-owner occupied properties carry the risk of a tenant’s deteriorating credit strength, lease expirations in soft markets and sustained vacancies which can adversely impact cash flow.

Commercial – Commercial loans are secured or unsecured loans for business purposes. Loans are typically secured by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and/or other assets of the business. Credit risk arises from the successful operation of the business which may be affected by competition, rising interest rates, regulatory changes and adverse conditions in the local and regional economy.

 

Consumer – Consumer loans include home equity loans and lines, installment loans and personal lines of credit. Credit risk is similar to residential real estate loans above as it is subject to the borrower’s continuing financial stability and the value of the collateral securing the loan.

Note 56 – Leases

Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net present value of the remaining contractual cash flows.  Cash flows are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease.  Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and if applicable, prepaid rent, initial direct costs and any incentives received from the lessor.

The Company’s long-term lease agreements are classified as operating leases. Certain leases offer the option to extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease liabilities to the extent the options are reasonably certain of being exercised.  The lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.

During 2021, the second quarter of 2021, one of the Company’sCompany acquired long-term branch leases wasand equipment due to the acquisition of Severn. These leases were reassessed by management and it was determined that it was not reasonably certain that the options to renew would be exercised after the initial lease term of 10 years. This resulted in a shorter lease term and a reductionas of the acquisition date of October 31, 2021, which included updating the incremental borrowing rates and remaining lease liability and right-to-use assets as compared toterms.

The following tables present information about the first quarter of 2021 when the lease was initially placed into service.  Company’s leases:

Note 89 - Subordinated Debt

On August 25, 2020, the Company entered into Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements with certain Purchasers pursuant to which the Company issued and sold $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount with an initial interest rate of 5.375% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due September 1, 2030.

The Company has and continues to useused the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes, organic growth and to support the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios. The Notes were structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes and bear an initial interest rate of 5.375% until September 1, 2025, with interest during this period payable semi-annually in arrears. From and including September 1, 2025, to but excluding the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest

rate will reset quarterly to an annual floating rate equal to three-month SOFR, plus 526.5 basis points, with interest during this period payable quarterly in arrears. The Notes are redeemable by the Company at its option, in whole or in part, on or after September 1, 2025. Initial debt issuance costs were $611 thousand. The debt balance of $24.5$24.6 million is presented net of unamortized issuance costs of $510$387 thousand at June 30, 2021.2022.

25

TableIn conjunction with the acquisition of ContentsSevern, the Company assumed $20.6 million in junior subordinated debt securities (“2035 Debentures”). The 2035 Debentures were issued and sold to Severn Capital Trust I (the “Trust”), of which 100% of the common equity is owned by the Company. 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. We have entered into an agreement which, taken collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantees the Capital Securities subject to the terms of the guarantee. The recorded balance was $18.3 million at June 30, 2022 and $18.2 million December 31, 2021, which included fair value adjustments of $2.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

Under the terms of the 2035 Debentures, the Company 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, 2022, the Company was current on all interest due on the 2035 Debentures.

Note 1011 - Stock-Based Compensation

At the 2016 annual meeting, stockholders approved the Shore Bancshares, Inc. 2016 Stock and Incentive Plan (“2016 Equity Plan”), replacing the Shore Bancshares, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan (“2006 Equity Plan”), which expired on that date. The Company may issue shares of common stock or grant other equity-based awards pursuant to the 2016 Equity Plan. Stock-based awards granted to date generally are time-based, vest in equal installments on each anniversary of the grant date and range over a one- to five-year period of time, and, in the case of stock options, expire 10 years from the grant date. As part of the 2016 Equity Plan, a performance equity incentive award program, known as the “Long-term incentive plan” allows participating officers of the Company to earn incentive awards of performance share/restricted stock units if certain pre-determined targets are achieved at the end of a three-year performance cycle. Stock-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair value is recognized ratably over the requisite service period for all awards and reflects forfeitures as they occur. The 2016 Equity Plan originally reserved 750,000 shares of common stock for grant, and 583,831500,449 shares remained available for grant at June 30, 2021.

Note 1112 – Derivatives

The Company maintains and accounts for derivatives, in the form of interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) and mandatory forward contracts, in accordance with the FASB guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. We recognize gains and losses through mortgage-banking revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

IRLCs on mortgage loans that we intend to sell in the secondary market are considered derivatives. We are exposed to price risk from the time a mortgage loan is locked in until the time the loan is sold. The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment and closing and sale of the loan generally ranges from 14 days to 120 days, however, this period may be longer for construction to permanent loans that are originated with the intent of selling in the secondary market. For these IRLCs and our closed inventory in loans held for sale, we attempt to protect the Bank from changes in interest rates through the use of to be announced (TBA) securities, which are forward contracts, as well as, to a  significantly lesser degree, loan level commitments in the form of best efforts and mandatory forward contracts. These assets and liabilities are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively.

Note 1214 – Fair Value Measurements

Accounting guidance under GAAP defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available for sale and equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as

27

Table of Contents

impaired loans, loans held for sale and other real estate owned (foreclosed assets). These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Under fair value accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are grouped at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine their fair values. These hierarchy levels are:

Level 1 inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

30

Table of Contents

Level 2 inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Below is a discussion on the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Investment Securities Available for Sale

Fair value measurement for investment securities available for sale is based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include present value of future cash flows, prepayment assumptions, credit loss assumptions and other factors. The Company classifies its investments in U.S. Treasury securities, if any, as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, and it classifies its investments in U.S. Government agencies securities and mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government sponsored entities as Level 2.

Equity Securities

Fair value measurement for equity securities is based on quoted market prices retrieved by the Company via on-line resources. Although these securities have readily available fair market values, the Company determined that they should be classified as level 2 investments in the fair value hierarchy due to not being considered traded in a highly active market.

The tables below present the recorded amount of assets measuredLHFS

Loans held for sale (LHFS) are carried at fair value, which is determined based on a recurring basis at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

MSRs

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) is determined using a valuation model administered by a third party that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income (Level 3). 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 quarterly 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.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the reporting entity’s residential MSRs are prepayment speeds, probability of default, rate of return, and cost of servicing. Significant increases/decreases in any of those inputs in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower/higher fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for prepayment speeds would have been accompanied by a directionally similar change in the markets, i.e. the 10-Year Treasury, and in the probability of default.

Forward Contracts

To avoid interest rate risk, we hedge the open locked/closed position with TBA forward trades. On a regular basis, we allocate disbursed loans to mandatory commitments with government-sponsored enterprises (“GSE”) and private investors delivering the loans within 120 days of origination to maximize interest earnings. For a small percentage of our business, we enter into best efforts forward sales commitments with investors at the time we make an IRLC to a borrower. Once a loan has been closed and funded, the best efforts commitments convert to mandatory forward sales commitments. The mandatory commitments are derivatives, and we measure and report them at fair value. Fair value is based on the gain or loss that would occur if we were to pair-off the transaction with the investor at the measurement date. This is a level 2 input. We have elected to measure and report best efforts commitments at fair value, when outstanding, using a valuation methodology similar to that used for mandatory commitments.

32

Table of Contents

Market assumptions utilized in the fair value measurement of the reporting entity’s residential mortgage derivatives, inclusive of IRLCs, Closed Loan Inventory, TBA derivative trades, and Mandatory Forwards may be subject to investor overlays that may result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Generally such overlays are announced with advanced notice in order to include the risk adjuster, however there are times when announcements are mandated resulting in a lower fair value measurement. Additionally market assumptions such as spec pool payups may result in a significantly higher fair value measurement at time of loan allocation to specific trades.

The following tables present the recorded amount of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. No assets were transferred from one hierarchy level to another during the first six months of 2022 or 2021.

Below is a discussion on the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Impaired Loans

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement when due. Loan impairment is measured using the present value of expected cash flows, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral (less selling costs) if the loans are collateral dependent and these are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable. The value of business equipment, inventory and accounts receivable, discounted on management’s review and analysis. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and the client’s business.

Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the factors identified above. Valuation techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior periods.

Other Real Estate Owned (Foreclosed Assets)

Foreclosed assets are adjusted for fair value upon transfer of loans to foreclosed assets establishing a new cost basis. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. The estimated fair value for foreclosed assets included in Level 3 are determined by independent market based appraisals and other available market information, less costs to sell, that may be reduced further based on market expectations or an executed sales agreement. If the fair value of the collateral deteriorates subsequent to the initial recognition, the Company records the foreclosed asset as a non-recurring Level 3 adjustment. Valuation techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior periods.

2934

Table of Contents

The following tables set forth the Company’s financial and nonfinancial assets subject to fair value adjustments (impairment) on a nonrecurring basis at June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, that are valued at the lower of cost or market. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies

Note 13 – Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business, to meet the financial needs of its customers, the Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Letters of credit and other commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because many of the letters of credit and commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

The following table provides information on commitments outstanding at June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021.

allowance when management believes the required funding of these exposures is uncollectible. While this evaluation is completed on a regular basis, it is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The Company provides banking services to customers who do business in the cannabis industry.  Prior to the second quarter of 2022, the Company restricted these businesses to include only those in the medical-use cannabis industry in the state of Maryland.  During the second quarter of 2022, the Company expanded its cannabis banking program to include both medical and adult -use licensees in other states, with an initial offering of the Company’s existing Maryland customers with multi-state operations. While the Company is providing banking services to customers that are engaged in the growing, processing, and sales of cannabis in a manner that complies with applicable state law, such customers engaged in those activities currently violate Federal law. The Company may be deemed to be aiding and abetting illegal activities through the services that it provides to these customers. While we are not aware of any instance of a federally-insured financial institution being subject to such aiding and abetting liability, the strict enforcement of Feral laws regarding cannabis would likely result in the Company’s inability to continue to provide banking services to these customers and the Company could have legal action taken against it by the Federal government, including imprisonment and fines.  There is an uncertainty of the potential impact to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements if the Federal government takes actions against the Company. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not accrued an amount for the potential impact of any such actions.

Following is a summary of the level of business activities with our cannabis industry customers:

● Deposit and loan balances at June 30, 2022 were approximately $27.0 million, or 0.9% of total deposits, and$42.3 million, or 1.9% of total gross loans, respectively.

● Interest and noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were approximately $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively

In the normal course of business, the Company and the Bank may become involved in litigation arising from banking, financial, and other activities. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the future liability, if any, arising out of current proceedings will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, operating results, or liquidity.

Note 16 – Segment Reporting

We are in the business of providing financial services and subsequent to the acquisition of Severn in the fourth quarter of 2021 we operate in 2 business segments – community banking and mortgage-banking. Community banking is conducted through the Bank and involves delivering a broad range of financial services, including lending and deposit taking, to individuals and commercial enterprises. This segment also includes our treasury and administrative functions. Mortgage-banking is conducted through the residential mortgage division of the Bank and involves originating first and second-lien residential mortgages for sale in the secondary market.

Note 1417 – Revenue Recognition

Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust and asset management income, deposit related fees, interchange fees and merchant income. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.

31

Table of Contents

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided.

Check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or at the end of the month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

Trust and Investment Fee Income

38

Table of Contents

Trust and investment fee income are primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon the month-end market value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives.

Optional services such as real estate sales and tax return preparation services are also available to existing trust and asset management customers. The Company’s performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time (i.e., as incurred). Payment is received shortly after services are rendered.

Title Company Revenue

Title Company revenue consists of revenue earned on performing title work for real estate transactions. The revenue is earned when the title work is performed. Payment for such performance obligations generally occurs at the time of the settlement of a real estate transaction. As such settlement is generally within 90 days of the performance of the title work, we recognize the revenue at the time of the settlement.

All contract issuance costs are expensed as incurred. We had no contract assets or liabilities at June 30, 2022.

Other Noninterest Income

Other noninterest income consists of: fees, exchange, other service charges, safety deposit box rental fees, and other miscellaneous revenue streams.  Fees and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, ATM fees, merchant services income, and other service charges. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier’s checks, and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for fees, exchange, and other service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. Safe deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and recognized upon receipt of payment. The Company determined that rentals and renewals of safe deposit boxes will be recognized on a monthly basis consistent with the duration of the performance obligation.

The following presents noninterest income, from continuing operations, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

Contract Balances

A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals such as asset management fees based on month-end market values. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.

Note 1518Proposed MergerSubsequent Event

On March 3, 2021,July 6, 2022, the Company and Severn Bancorp, Inc. (“Severn”) entered intoannounced a definitive agreement fornew stock repurchase program. Under the new stock repurchase program, the Company is authorized to acquirerepurchase up to $5.0 million of the Maryland-based Severn.Company’s Common Stock, representing approximately 1.4% of its issued and outstanding Common Stock based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on July 5, 2022. The program may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. The program will expire on March 31, 2023.

This transaction will create the third largest community bank headquartered in Maryland. One of the primary reasons for the proposed acquisition of Severn was the ability to access and deploy excess capital and deposits into a high growth market, while also enhancing scale to drive efficiency and profitability. Additionally, this transaction will create a competitive position in the Columbia/Baltimore/Towson MSA, while filling in our current market footprint.  

Under the terms of the agreement, Severn shareholders will receive 0.6207 shares of Shore common stock and $1.59 in cash for each share of Severn common stock. Upon closing, Shore shareholders will own approximately 59.6% of the combined Company and Severn shareholders will own approximately 40.4% of the combined Company. The transaction is still subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and shareholder approval from Shore and Severn shareholders. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, Severn had more than $1.1 billion in assets and operated 7 full-service community banking offices throughout Anne Arundel County, Maryland.

Forward-Looking Information

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “target,” “would,” “aim” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry and management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. The inclusion of these forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that such expectations, estimates and projections will be achieved. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict their occurrence. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each risk and uncertainty on our business or the extent to which any risk or uncertainty, or combination of risks and uncertainties, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Further, given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and when and how the economy may be fully reopened. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations: the demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income; if the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income; collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase; our allowance for loan losses may increase if borrowers experience financial difficulties, which will adversely affect our net income; the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; as the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve’s target federal funds rate to near 0%, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our net interest margin and spread and reducing net income; our cybersecurity risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely; and FDIC premiums may increase if the agency experiences additional resolution costs.

If one or more of the factors affecting our forward-looking information and statements proves incorrect, then our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, forward-looking information and statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports and registration statements filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). For information on the factors that could cause actual results to differ from the expectations stated in the forward- looking statements, see “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A of our 20202021 Form 10-K and other reports as filed by us with the SEC.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this report, and we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether because of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The outbreak of COVID-19 has led to adverse impacts on economic conditions and created uncertainty in financial markets. Correspondingly, in early March 2020, the Company began preparing for potential disruptions and government limitations of activity in the markets in which we serve. Our team activated our Business Continuity Program and was able to quickly execute on multiple initiatives to adjust our operations to protect the health and safety of our employees and clients. Since the beginning of the crisis, we have been in close contact with our clients, assessing the level of impact on their businesses, and providing relief programs according to each client’s specific situation and qualifications. We have also enhanced awareness of digital banking offerings, expanded services at our drive through locations, and allowed customers to make appointments in the branch for critical services. The Company’s branches remain open and have taken steps to comply with various government directives regarding “social distancing,” as well as, enhanced cleaning and disinfecting of all surface areas to protect its clients and employees.

Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program

We established our process for participating in the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) that enabled our clients to utilize this valuable resource beginning in April 2020. Loans under the PPP are designed to provide assistance for small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic to help meet the costs associated with payroll, mortgage interest, rent and utilities. These loans are guaranteed by the SBA and forgiveness of the loans, by the SBA, is granted to the borrower if the borrower uses at least 60% of the funds to cover payroll costs and benefits. Forgiveness is also based on the small business maintaining or quickly rehiring their employees and maintaining salary levels for their employees. Loans under the PPP do not require any collateral or personal guarantees, as such, these loans are included in the Company’s commercial loans segment. The first round of PPP lending resulted in 1,495 loans for $129.0 million, of which 1,037 loans have been forgiven or paid down in the amount of $102.3 million as of June 30, 2021. The second round of PPP lending which began in 2021, resulted in 959 loans for $67.3 million, of which 223 loans have been forgiven or paid down in the amount of $7.2 million. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had 1,195 PPP loans totaling $86.8 million that were outstanding, inclusive of loans issued during both the first and second rounds of the PPP. This has allowed us to further strengthen and deepen our client relationships, while positively impacting thousands of individuals. We are also closely monitoring the credit quality of the loan portfolio and monitor lines of credit draws for deviation from normal activity to improve loan performance and reduce credit risk.

Short-term Modifications for Borrowers

In keeping with regulatory guidance to work with borrowers during this unprecedented situation and as outlined in Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (“CAA”), the Company is providing modifications where appropriate, including interest only payments or payment deferrals for clients that could be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Section 4013 of the CARES Act and CAA addressed COVID-19 related modifications and specified that such modifications made on loans that were current as of December 31, 2019 are not TDRs. In accordance with interagency guidance issued in April 2020 and December 2020, short-term modifications made to borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental shutdown orders, such as payment deferrals, fee waivers and extensions of repayment terms, do not need to be identified as TDRs if the loans were current at the time a modification plan was implemented. Since the beginning of the pandemic and through June 30, 2021, the Company had executed principal and/or interest deferrals on outstanding loan balances of $221.1 million, of which only $9.5 million, or 0.65% of the total portfolio, remained on deferral as of June 30, 2021.

Liquidity

We are vigilantly monitoring our liquidity position on an ongoing basis. The Company has several available sources of on and off-balance sheet liquidity. Currently, the Company has not needed to tap into these available liquidity sources due to payment deferrals by customers, funding of PPP loans, or organic loan growth. Additional discussion on our liquidity as of the report date is reflected in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of management’s discussion and analysis.

Share Repurchases

At the present time all share repurchases have been suspended due to the current status of our merger with Severn. Once the merger is consummated, the Company intends to resume its current share buyback program in which $546 thousand remains available. The Board of directors and management will re-evaluate the need for an additional stock repurchase program once the current plan is exhausted or expires.

Dividends and Capital

We currently expect to maintain our quarterly cash dividend based on our strong capital position. At June 30, 2021, the Bank exceeded all the capital requirements to which it was subject, and based on the most recent notification from its primary federal regulator is considered to be well-capitalized. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes would change the Bank’s classification. We are closely monitoring our capital position and

36

Table of Contents

are taking appropriate steps to ensure our level of capital remains strong. Our capital, while significant, may deteriorate in future periods due to the impact of the pandemic and limit our ability to pay dividends.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.

The most significant accounting policies that the Company follows are presented in Note 1 of the 20202021 Annual Report. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the notes to the financial statements and in this discussion, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has determined that the accounting policies with respect to the loans acquired in a business combination, allowance for credit losses and goodwill and other intangible assets are critical accounting policies. These policies are considered critical because they relate to accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments, and, as such, could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

Loans Acquired in a Business Combination

Acquired loans are classified as either (i) purchase credit-impaired (“PCI”) loans or (ii) purchased performing loans and are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition.

PCI loans are those for which there is evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable at the date of acquisition that the Company will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. When determining fair value, PCI loans are aggregated into pools of loans based on common risk characteristics as of the date of acquisition such as loan type, date of origination, and evidence of credit quality deterioration such as internal risk grades and past due and nonaccrual status. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the “nonaccretable difference.” Any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the “accretable yield” and is recognized as interest income over the remaining life of the loan when there is a reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows.

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our estimate of cash flows expected to be collected on PCI loans. Estimates of cash flows for PCI loans require significant judgment. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan losses resulting in an increase to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent significant increases in cash flows may result in a reversal of post-acquisition provision for loan losses or a transfer from nonaccretable difference to accretable yield that increases interest income over the remaining life of the loan, or pool(s) of loans. Disposals of loans, which may include sale of loans to third parties, receipt of payments in full or in part from the borrower or foreclosure of the collateral, result in removal of the loan from the PCI loan portfolio at its carrying amount.

PCI loans are not classified as nonperforming by the Company at the time they are acquired, regardless of whether they had been classified as nonperforming by the previous holder of such loans, and they will not be classified as nonperforming so long as, at quarterly re-estimation periods, we believe we will fully collect the new carrying value of the pools of loans.

The Company accounts for purchased performing loans using the contractual cash flows method of recognizing discount accretion based on the acquired loans’ contractual cash flows. Purchased performing loans are recorded at fair value, including a credit discount.  The fair value discount is accreted as an adjustment to yield over the estimated lives of the

42

Table of Contents

loans. There is no allowance for loan losses established at the acquisition date for purchased performing loans. A provision for loan losses may be required for any deterioration in these loans in future periods.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. Determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of similar loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends and conditions and other factors, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset type on the consolidated balance sheets. Note 1 to the 20202021 Annual Report describes the methodology used to determine the allowance for credit losses. A discussion of the allowance determination and factors driving changes in the amount of the allowance for credit losses is included in the Provision for Credit Losses and Allowance for Credit Losses sections below.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Determining fair value is subjective, requiring the use of estimates, assumptions and management judgment. Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment, usually during the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis if circumstances dictate. Impairment testing requires a qualitative assessment or that the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units be compared to the carrying amount of its net assets, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than book value, an expense may be required to write down the related goodwill to record an impairment loss. As of June 30, 2021,2022, the Company had only onea banking and mortgage reporting unit.

OVERVIEW

The Company reported net income of $4.0$7.5 million for the second quarter of 2021,2022, or diluted income per common share of $0.34,$0.38, compared to net income of $5.3 million, or diluted income per common share of $0.43, for the second quarter of 2020. For the first quarter of 2021, the Company reported net income of $4.0 million, or diluted income per common share of $0.34. When comparing net income$0.34, for the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2020, the decrease was due to salary and wages being deferred in the second quarter of 2020 due to the originations of the first round of PPP loans. Despite these salary and wage deferrals, net interest income increased when compared to the second quarter of 2020 by $1.1 million, while a reduced provision for credit losses of $350 thousand and higher noninterest income of $134 thousand had a positive impact on net income. When comparing the second quarter of 2021 to2021. For the first quarter of 2021, the net income was essentially unchanged, from period to period with offsetting variances related to higher net interest income of $303 thousand and noninterest income of $346 thousand, partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses of $225 thousand and noninterest expense of $377 thousand. Merger-related expenses of $377 thousand were recorded in

37

Table of Contents

the second quarter of 2021, which had an impact on the profitability of the quarter when compared to the linked and previous quarters.

For the first six months of 2021,2022, the Company reported net income of $8.0$5.6 million, or diluted income per common share of $0.68,$0.28. Net income, excluding merger related expenses, for the second quarter of 2022 was $7.7 million or $0.39 per diluted common share, compared to net income, excluding merger related expenses, of $6.2 million or $0.31 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2022. When comparing net income, excluding merger related expenses, for the second quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of 2021, net income increased $3.3 million, primarily due to increases in net interest income of $10.5 million and noninterest income of $2.9 million, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expenses of $9.4 million resulting from the acquisition of Severn Bank (“Severn”) in November 2021.   When comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of 2022, net income, excluding merger related expenses, increased $1.5 million, due to increases in net interest income of $2.2 million and a lower provision of credit losses of $400 thousand.  Merger-related expenses were recorded for the second quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2022 of $241 thousand and $730 thousand, respectively.  

For the first six months of 2022, the Company reported net income of $13.1 million, or diluted income per common share of $0.66, compared to net income of $8.5$8.0 million, or diluted income per common share of $0.68, for the first six months of 2020.2021. When comparing net income for the first six months of 20212022 to the first six months of 2020,2021, the decreaseincrease in net income was primarily due to the deferral of salaries and wages as previously mentioned above, as well as an increase in almost all noninterest expense line items for a total of $3.4 million, partially offset by improvements in net interest income of $2.4$19.1 million and noninterest income of $339 thousand and a reduced provision for credit losses$6.4 million. These improvements to income were partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $275 thousand. The reason for$19.1 million resulting from the similar diluted income per share for both periods despite the lower net income in 2021, was due to buybacks of the Company’s common stock, resulting in fewer outstanding shares period over period.Severn merger.

(1) All amounts are reported on a tax-equivalent basis computed using the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0%,

exclusive of nondeductible interest expense.

(2)Average loan balances include nonaccrual loans.
(3)Interest income on loans includes accreted loan fees, net of costs and accretion of discounts on acquired loans, which are included in the yield calculations.

Net Interest Income

Tax-equivalent net interest income increased $19.1 million, or 68.4%, during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The higher net interest income was due to an increase in interest income of $20.1 million, or 65.0%, specifically increased interest and fees on loans of $16.8 million, or 58.3%, primarily due to an increase in the average loan balance of $740.5 million, or 51.1%, coupled with accretion income from acquired loans of $1.5 million for the six months of 2022.  Taxable investment securities and interest on deposits with other banks increased $2.4 million and $978 thousand, respectively. The increase in interest expense was the result of an increase in the average balance on interest bearing deposits of $860.6 million, or 68.1%, despite the rates paid on the deposits declining 9bps.  Interest on long term borrowings increased by $346 thousand due to the acquisition of long-term advances from the FHLB and junior subordinated debt acquired as part of the Severn acquisition.  This resulted in a net interest margin of 2.94% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 2.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Table of Contents

On a tax-equivalent basis, interest income increased $20.1 million, or 65.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher interest and fees on loans of $16.8 million, or 58.3%, and taxable investment securities of $2.4 million, or 116.1%. The increase in interest and fees on loans was due to a higher average balance of loans of $740.5 million, or 51.1%, primarily due to the acquisition of Severn in the 4th quarter of 2021. The increase in interest on taxable investment securities was due to a higher average balance in these securities of $281.5 million, or 109.5%.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $974 thousand, or 32.8%, when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2022 to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in interest expense was the result of an increase in interest-bearing deposits of $860.6 million, or 68.1%, despite the rates paid on these accounts declining 9bps. Interest on long-term borrowings increased by $346 thousand due to the acquisition of long-term advances with the FHLB and junior subordinated debt acquired as part of the Severn acquisition.

Net InterestNoninterest Income

Tax-equivalent net interest income increased $2.4 million, or 9.2%, during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The higher net interest income was due to an increase in interest income of $1.6 million, or 5.4% and a decrease in interest expenses on interest-bearing deposits of $1.4 million, or 38.0%. Despite the improved results, compression in the margin was due to lower yields on earning assets, specifically taxable investment securities of 71bps and interest-bearing deposits with the Fed of 54bps.  This resulted in a net interest margin of 2.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 3.45% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Interest Income

On a tax-equivalent basis, interest income increased $1.6 million, or 5.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher interest and fees on loans of $1.0 million, or 3.6% and taxable investment securities of $668 thousand, or 49.2%. The increase in interest and fees on

39

Table of Contents

loans was due to a higher average balance of loans of $128.9 million, or 9.8%, which included PPP loans which have a lower yield than more traditional loans, resulting in a lower overall yield of 23bps. The increase in interest on taxable investment securities was due to a higher average balance in these securities of $138.5 million, or 116.7%, despite the decline in the average yield of such securities of 71bps.  

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $760 thousand, or 20.4%, when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2021 to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in interest expense was due to a decline in the rates paid on interest-bearing deposits of 37bps and the elimination of long-term advances from FHLB. These improvements were partially offset by the addition of subordinated debt, issued in the third quarter of 2020, which added $729 thousand in interest expense for the first six months of 2021.

The following tables present the distribution of the average consolidated balance sheets, interest income/expense, and annualized yields earned and rates paid for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Noninterest Income

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses was $200 thousand for the second quarter of 2022, $650 thousand for the second quarter of 2021 $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $425$600 thousand for the first quarter of 2021.2022. The decrease in the provision for credit losses during the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the prior quarters was primarily attributable to significant net recoveries. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period-end loans was 0.68% at June 30, 2022, 0.67% at March 31, 2022 and 1.02% at June 30, 2021, 0.95% at December 31, 2020 and 0.98% at March 31, 2021.

The primary drivers ofdecline in the increased percentage of the allowance to total loans, excluding PPP loans, as compared to December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, were significant loan originations infrom the second quarter of 2021 specifically withinwas primarily the construction and consumer loan portfolios, which require a higher levelresult of allowance than the PPP loans which were forgiven during the second quarter of 2021, coupled withimproved credit quality, including lower historical loss experience as well as lower pandemic related qualitative factors which have remained elevated due to uncertainty and associated risks with the COVID-19 virus/variants and lagging vaccination rates.reserves. The Company reported net recoveries in the second quarter of 20212022 of $125$573 thousand, compared to net recoveries of $61$125 thousand for the fourthsecond quarter of 20202021 and no net charge offs or recoveries of $166 thousand for the first quarter of 2021.2022.Management continually evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses as changes in the environment and within the portfolio become known.

was primarily due to forgiveness on first and second round PPP loans originated in 2020 partially offset by the origination of second round PPP loans inand 2021. We do not engage in foreign or subprime lending activities. See Note 4,5, “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses”, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and below under the caption “Allowance for Credit Losses” for additional information.

Our loan portfolio has a commercial real estate loan concentration, which is generally defined as a combination of certain construction and commercial real estate loans. Construction loans were $116.8$263.1 million, or 7.9%11.6% of total loans, at June 30, 20212022 and $106.8$239.4 million, or 7.3%11.3% of total loans, at December 31, 2020.2021.

The federal banking regulators have issued guidance for those institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in commercial real estate lending. Pursuant to the supervisory criteria contained in the guidance for identifying institutions with a potential commercial real estate concentration risk, institutions which have (1) total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land acquisitions which represent 100% or more of an institution’s total risk-based capital; or (2) total non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans representing 300% or more of the institution’s total risk-based capital and the institution’s non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan portfolio (including construction) has increased 50% or more during the prior 36 months are identified as having potential commercial real estate concentration risk. Institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in commercial real estate lending are expected to employ heightened levels of risk management with respect to their commercial real estate portfolios, and may be required to hold higher levels of capital. The Company, like many community banks, has a concentration in commercial real estate loans,

and the Company has experienced significant growth in its commercial real estate portfolio in recent years. At June 30, 2021,2022, non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans (including construction, land and land development loans) represented 302.3%292.2% of total risk-based capital. At such time, construction, land and land development loans represented 56.8%80.4% of total risk-based capital.

The commercial real estate portfolio (including construction) has increased 41.7%103.5% during the prior 36 months. Management has extensive experience in commercial real estate lending, and has implemented and continues to maintain heightened risk management procedures, as well as strong underwriting criteria with respect to its commercial real estate portfolio. Monitoring practices include periodic stress testing analysis to evaluate changes to cash flows, owing to interest rate increases and declines in net operating income. We may be required to maintain higher levels of capital as a result of our commercial real estate concentrations, which could require us to obtain additional capital or be required to sell/participate portions of loans, which may adversely affect shareholder returns.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We have established an allowance for credit losses, which is increased by provisions charged against earnings and recoveries of previously charged-off loans and is decreased by current period charge-offs of uncollectible loans. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses at least quarterly and adjusts the provision for credit losses based on this analysis. The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is based primarily on a risk rating system of individual loans, as well as on a collective evaluation of smaller balance homogenous loans, each grouped by loan type. Each loan type is assigned allowance factors based on criteria such as past credit loss experience, local economic and industry trends, and other measures which may impact collectability. Please refer to the discussion above under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies” for an overview of the underlying methodology management employs to maintain the allowance.

The allowance for credit losses was $15.5 million at June 30, 2022, $13.9 million at December 31, 2021 and $15.1 million at June 30, 2021, $13.9 million at December 31, 2020 and $14.3 million at March 31, 2021. There were net recoveries of $573 thousand for the second quarter of 2022, compared to net recoveries of $166 thousand for the first quarter of 2022 and net recoveries of $125 thousand for the second quarter of 2021, compared to net recoveries of $61 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2020 and no net charge offs or recoveries for the first quarter of 2021. The ratio of annualized net recoveries to average loans was 0.10% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to annualized net recoveries of 0.03% for the first quarter of 2022 and annualized net recoveries of 0.03% for the second quarter of 2021, compared to annualized net recoveries of 0.02% for the fourth quarter of 2020 and 0% for the first quarter of 2021.

Management remains focused on its efforts to dispose of problem loans and to prudently charge-off nonperforming loans to enable the Company to continue to improve its overall credit quality. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of period-end loans was 1.02%0.68% at June 30, 20212022 and 0.95%0.66% at December 31, 2020.2021. Excluding PPP loans and acquired loans from Severn and Northwest, the ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period-end loans as 1.09%was 0.89% at June 30, 2021, higher2022, lower than the 1.04%0.93% at December 31, 2020.2021.

Nonperforming Assets and Accruing TDRs

As shown in the following table, nonperforming assets were $4.9$3.7 million and $6.3$3.0 million at June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. The balance of nonperforming assets decreasedincreased primarily due to a declinean increase in nonaccrual loans of $1.5 million,$689 thousand, or 27.6%.34.4% primarily due to the acquisition of Severn. Accruing troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) decreased $659$773 thousand, or 9.4%13.6%, over the same time period. Other real estate owned properties increaseddecreased to $203$197 thousand at June 30, 2022 from $0$532 thousand at December 31, 2020.2021.

The Company continues to focus on the resolution of its nonperforming and problem assets. The efforts to accomplish this goal include frequently contacting borrowers until the delinquency is cured or until an acceptable payment plan has been agreed upon; obtaining updated appraisals; provisioning for credit losses; charging-off loans; transferring loans to other real estate owned; aggressively marketing other real estate owned. The reduction of nonperforming and problem assets is and will continue to be a high priority for the Company.

Investment Securities

The investment portfolio is comprised of debt and equity securities. Debt securitiesSecurities are classified as either available for sale or held to maturity. Investment securities available for sale are stated at estimated fair value based on quoted prices. They represent securities which may be sold as part of the asset/liability management strategy or in response to changing interest rates. Net unrealized holding gains and losses on these securities are reported net of related income taxes as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Investment securities in the held to maturity category are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. We have the intent and current ability to hold such securities until maturity. At June 30, 2021, 36.5%2022, 18.6% of the portfolio of debt securities was classified as available for sale and 63.5%81.4% was classified as held to maturity, compared to 68.0%22.6% and 32.0%77.4% respectively, at December 31, 2020.2021. See Note 34 – “Investment Securities”, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details on the composition of our investment portfolio.

Investment securities including restricted stock totaled $317.4$564.8 million at June 30, 2021,2022, a $107.1$37.7 million, or 50.9%7.15%, increase since December 31, 2020.2021. The increase was primarily due to the purchases of held to maturity securities of $136.4$78.5 million, purchases of restricted securities of $5.7 million and purchases of equity securities of $7 thousand partially offset by proceeds from maturities and salesprincipal repayments of available for sale securities of $23.9$12.8 million during 2021. Due to the excess liquidity experienced in 2020 and 2021, the Company strategically purchased short duration held to maturity securities and subordinated debt of other banks which earn significantly higher average yields than interest-bearing deposits with other banks. As loan demand begins to strengthen, the Company will redeploy proceeds from maturities and paydowns, as well as excess liquidity to fund loan growth.$23.6 million. At June 30, 2021, 84.2%2022, 77.4% of the securities available for sale were mortgage-backed, and 15.8%20.6% were U.S. Government agencies and 2.0% were corporate bonds, compared to 83.1%79.2%, 19.1% and 16.9%1.7%, respectively, at year-end 2020.2021. At June 30, 2021, 58.4%2022, 73.8% of the securities held to maturity were mortgage-backed, 31.7%23.3% were U.S. Government agencies, 2.8% were subordinated debt instruments and 9.9%less than 1% were other debt securities,community reinvestment bonds, compared to 41.5%74.8%, 28.7%21.4%, 3.6% and 29.2%less than 1%, respectively, at year-end 2020.2021. Our investments in mortgage-backed securities are issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored agencies. The decline in fair values on available for sale securities in the first quarter of 2022 was the result of the recent increases in interest rates and are not indicative of any credit concerns due to the Company holding high quality securities.

Deposits

Total deposits at June 30, 20212022 amounted to $1.88$3.01 billion, an increasea decrease of $179.9$11.9 million, or 10.6%less than 1%, when compared to the level at December 31, 2020.2021. The increasedecrease in total deposits consisted of increasesa decrease in the following categories: Savings and money market and savings accounts of $150.6$79.7 million, noninterest-bearing$38.4 million in noninterest bearing deposits of $28.9and $11.9 million and otherin time deposits of $2.7 million, partially offset by a decreasean increase in interest bearing checking accounts of $2.3$118.1 million.  The significant movement within deposit accounts continues to be impacted by direct government stimulus payments to our customers and new account openings.

Short-Term Borrowings

Short-termThe Company had no short-term borrowings consistedas of June 30, 2022, compared to short-term borrowings consisting of securities sold under agreements to repurchase which increased by $1.9 million, or 176.9%, to $2.9of $4.1 million at June 30, 2021 when compared to December 31, 2020.2021. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are issued in conjunction with cash management services for commercial depositors. Other short-term borrowings may consist of overnight borrowing from correspondent banks or advances from the FHLB. Short-term advances are defined as those with original maturities of one year or less. At June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had no outstanding short-term or long-term advances with the FHLB.

Long-Term Debt

The Company occasionally borrows from the FHLB to meet longer term liquidity needs, specifically to fund loan growth when liquidity from deposit growth is not sufficient. The acquisition of Severn added $10.1 million in long-term FHLB borrowings, which carried an interest rate of 2.19%, and a maturity date of October 2022. The balance of this debt was $10.1 million at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The Company uses long-term borrowings to meet longer term liquidity needs, specifically to fund loan growth when liquidity from deposit growth is not sufficient. On August 25, 2020, the Company entered into Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements with certain Purchaserspurchasers pursuant to which the Company issued and sold $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount with an initial interest rate of 5.375% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due September 1, 2030.

As a result of the Severn merger, the Company acquired Junior Subordinated Debt Securities due in 2035 (“2035 Debentures”) which had an outstanding principal balance of $20.6 million. The debt balance of $18.3 million at June 30, 2022 and $18.2 million at December 31, 2021  is presented net of a fair value adjustment of $2.3 million  and $2.4 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We derive liquidity through increased customer deposits, non-reinvestment of the cash flow from the investment portfolio, loan repayments, borrowings and income from earning assets. As seen in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the Financial Statements, the net increasedecrease in cash and cash equivalents was $180.6 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to an increase of $50.3 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to an increase of $31.3 million for the first six months of 2020.2021. The increasedecrease in cash and cash equivalents in 20212022 was mainly due to the significant increase in deposits, the direct resultfunding net loan growth of new account openings, government stimulus$143.9 million and significant increases in municipal accounts. The Company expects these fundspurchases of securities held to be utilized over the coming months, which may result in deposit balance fluctuations.maturity of $78.5 million.  

To the extent that deposits are not adequate to fund customer loan demand, liquidity needs can be met in the short-term fund markets. The Bank has arrangements with other correspondent banks whereby it has $15 million available in federal funds lines of credit and a reverse repurchase agreement available to meet any short-term needs which may not otherwise be funded by the Bank’s portfolio of readily marketable investments that can be converted to cash. The Bank is also a member of the FHLB, which provides another source of liquidity. Through the FHLB, the Bank had collateral pledged of approximately $298.9$290.0 million and $316.7$363.7 million at June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. The Bank has pledged, under a blanket lien, all qualifying residential and commercial real estate loans under borrowing agreements with the FHLB.

Total stockholders’ equity increased $3.7$2.1 million, or less than 1%, to $198.7$352.8 million at June 30, 20212022 when compared to December 31, 20202021 primarily due to the current year’s retained earnings, partially offset by dividends paid during the first six months of 2021 and the changean increase in fair value of available-for-sale securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

CBLR

On September 17, 2019, the FDIC finalized a rule that introduces an optional simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying community banking organizations (i.e., the community bank leverage ratio (“CBLR”) framework), as required by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act. The CBLR framework is designed to reduce burden by removing the requirements for calculating and reporting risk-based capital ratios for qualifying community banking organizations that opt into the framework.unrealized losses

of $6.7 million (net of tax) on available for sale securities and dividends paid which are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

On April 6, 2020, inThe Bank and Company are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a joint statement,material effect on the FDIC, Federal ReserveCompany’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the Officeregulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the  Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of Comptroller ofits assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the Currency (“OCC”),regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

In July 2013, federal bank regulatory agencies issued two interima final rules regarding temporary changesrule that revised their risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to the CBLR framework to implementmake them consistent with certain standards that were developed by Basel III and certain provisions of the CARESDodd-Frank Act. Under the interimThe final rules, the community bank leverage ratio was reducedrule currently applies to 8% beginning in the second quarterall depository institutions and for the remainder of calendar year 2020, 8.5% for calendar year 2021, and 9% thereafter. In order to qualify for the CBLR framework, a community banking organization must have a tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 8%, less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, and limited amounts of off-balance-sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities. A qualifying community banking organization that opts into the CBLR framework and meets all requirements under the framework will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital. The Company has not opted-in to the CBLR framework.

Basel III

Under final Federal Reserve and FDIC approved rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks minimum requirements increased for both the quantity and quality of capital held by the Bank. The Basel III capital standards substantially revised the risk based capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and their depository institution subsidiaries, includingsavings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of more than $3 billion. The Company had total consolidated assets of more than $3 billion as of December 31, 2021, due to the definitionsacquisition of Severn in the fourth quarter of 2021. As such, the Company was required to comply with the consolidated capital requirements for the first quarterly report date following the effective date of the business combination as its total assets exceeded $3 billion.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank and the componentsCompany to maintain minimum ratios of common equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and total capital as a percentage of assets and Total Capital,off-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for risk weights ranging from 0% to 1,250%. The Bank and Company are also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on quarterly average assets, which is known as the method of evaluating risk-weighted assets, institutions of a capital conservation buffer, and other matters affecting regulatory capital ratios. Strict eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments were also implemented under the rules.

The phase-in period for the final rules became effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015, with full compliance with all of the final rules’ requirements phased in over a multi-year schedule, which was fully phased in on January 1, 2019. As of June 30, 2021, the Bank’s capital levels remained characterized as “well-capitalized��� under the rules.leverage ratio.

The procedures used to evaluate and mitigate these risks orremain unchanged and we continue to monitor our actual and simulated sensitivity positions since December 31, 2020.2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that Shore Bancshares, Inc. files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) with the SEC, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in those rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including Shore Bancshares, Inc.’s principal executive officer (“PEO”) and its principal financial officer (“PFO”), as appropriate, to

Table of Contents

allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 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

48

Table of Contents

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. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of these disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 20212022 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the PEO and the PFO. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the PEO and the PFO, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at the reasonable assurance level at June 30, 2021.2022.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 20212022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
