Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Six Months Ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shore Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the consolidated results of income and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021 and cash flows for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The amounts as of December 31, 2021 were derived from the 2021 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 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, 2021. For purposes of comparability, certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to amounts previously reported to conform with the current period presentation.

When used in these notes, the term “the Company” refers to Shore Bancshares, Inc. and, unless the context requires otherwise, its consolidated ~~subsidiary,~~subsidiaries, Shore United Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”).

Recent Accounting Standards and Other Authoritative Guidance

ASU No. 2016-13 – In June 2016, the ~~FASB~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ~~ASU~~Accounting 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. The 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 codification as well as other transition matters. Smaller reporting companies who file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and all other entities who 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. 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. The team is currently running a parallel simulation to its current incurred loss 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 ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board~~ (FASB) issued ~~Accounting Standards Update~~ (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

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

~~Table of Contents~~

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 ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board~~ (FASB) issued ~~Accounting Standards Update~~ (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 2419 loans or ~~4.7%~~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 connection with the completion of the merger, former Severn shareholders received 0.6207 shares of Shore common stock and $1.59 in cash for each 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 cashed-out, the total transaction value was approximately $169.8 million. Upon completion of the acquisition, Shore shareholders owned approximately 59.6% of the combined company, and former Severn shareholders owned approximately 40.4%.

As 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.

~~Table of Contents~~

The acquisition of Severn was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration paid ~~are~~were recorded at estimated fair values on the Acquisition Date. The provisional amount of goodwill recognized as of the Acquisition 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 other 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 integration of the operations of Severn, it is not practicable to determine revenue or net income included in the Company’s consolidated operating results relating to Severn since the date of acquisition, as Severn’s results cannot be separately identified. Comparative pro-forma financial statements for the prior year period were not presented, as adjustments to those statements would not be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2021. In particular, adjustments that would have been necessary to be made to record the loans at fair value, the provision of credit losses or the core deposit intangible would not be practical to estimate.

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 3 – 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 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.

There were ~~NaN~~one hundred five available-for-sale securities and one hundred ~~and fifty-three~~sixty-four held-to-maturity securities in an unrealized loss position at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Loans are stated at their principal amount outstanding net of any purchase premiums/discounts, deferred fees and costs. Included in loans were deferred ~~fees,~~costs, net of ~~costs,~~fees, of ~~$795~~$846 thousand and $1.2 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, included in total loans were ~~$36.5~~$31.3 million and $39.9 million in loans, respectively, net of discounts on acquired loans of ~~$480~~$416 thousand and $516 thousand, respectively, as part of the Northwest Bancshares, Inc. branch acquisition in 2017. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, included in total loans were ~~$506.5~~$451.5 million and $553.0 million in loans, acquired as part of the acquisition of Severn. These balances were presented net of the related discount which totaled ~~$8.0~~$7.6 million and $8.4 million at ~~March 31,~~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

~~Table of Contents~~

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.

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.

During 2021 and 2020, the Company participated in the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company held PPP loans with a total outstanding balance of ~~$14.9~~$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 $27.6 million, of which $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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 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.

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

~~Table of Contents~~

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 6 – 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 Company acquired long-term branch leases and equipment due to the acquisition of Severn. These leases were reassessed by management as of the acquisition date of October 31, 2021, which included updating the incremental borrowing rates and remaining lease terms.

The following tables present information about the Company’s leases:

Note 9 - 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 used 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

Table of Contents

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 $24.6 million is presented net of unamortized issuance costs of ~~$418~~$387 thousand at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

In conjunction with the acquisition of Severn, 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

~~Table of Contents~~

collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantees the Capital Securities subject to the terms of the guarantee. The recorded balance was ~~$18.2~~$18.3 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and $18.2 million December 31, 2021, which included fair value adjustments of $2.3 million and $2.4 ~~million.~~million, respectively.

Under the terms of the 2035 Debentures, ~~we are~~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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, ~~we were~~the Company was current on all interest due on the 2035 Debentures.

Note 11 - 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 ~~546,217~~500,449 shares remained available for grant at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Note 12 – Derivatives

~~We maintain~~The Company maintains and ~~account~~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.~~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 14 – 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 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.

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.

~~Table of Contents~~

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.

~~Subordinated Debt~~

Fair value measurement for subordinated debt is based on recent issuance rates of subordinated debt offerings over the prior 3 months for issuers of a relative size. A liquidity premium was added to the assumed market spreads to reflect exit pricing and the marketability/liquidity costs contained with consummating an orderly transaction. 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.

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.

LHFS

Loans held for sale (LHFS) are carried at fair value, which is determined based on Mark to Trade (MTT) for allocated/committed loans or Mark to Market (MTM) analysis for unallocated/uncommitted loans based on third-party pricing ~~models.~~models (Level 2).

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.~~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.

Table of Contents

IRLCs

We utilize a third-party specialist model to estimate the fair value of our IRLCs, which are valued based upon mortgage securities (TBA) prices less estimated costs to process and settle the loan. Fair value is adjusted for the estimated probability of the loan closing with the ~~borrower.~~borrower (Level 3).

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.

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. No assets were transferred from one hierarchy level to another during the first ~~three~~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.

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 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 1415 – Commitments and Contingencies

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.

While the Company is providing banking services to customers that are engaged in the growing, processing, and sales of ~~medical-use~~ cannabis ~~is legal~~ in ~~the~~a manner that complies with applicable state ~~of Maryland,~~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. ~~The~~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 ~~Federal~~Feral laws regarding ~~medical-use~~ 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 ~~March 31,~~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 ~~medical-use~~ cannabis industry customers:

● Deposit and loan balances at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 were approximately ~~$54.2~~$27.0 million, or ~~1.8%~~0.9% of total deposits, and ~~$35.2~~$42.3 million, or ~~1.6%~~1.9% of total gross loans, respectively.

● Interest and noninterest income for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, were approximately ~~$503 thousand~~$1.2 million and ~~$506 thousand,~~$1.0 million, respectively

In the normal course of business, the ~~Company.~~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 1516 – 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 1617 – 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.

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

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

~~Table of Contents~~

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 ~~March 31,~~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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.

Note 18 – Subsequent Event

On July 6, 2022, the Company announced a new stock repurchase program. Under the new stock repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $5.0 million of the 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.

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 2021 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 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

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.

~~Table of Contents~~

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 2021 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company had a banking and mortgage reporting unit.

OVERVIEW

The Company reported net income of ~~$5.6~~$7.5 million for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022, or diluted income per common share of ~~$0.28,~~$0.38, compared to net income of $4.0 million, or diluted income per common share of $0.34, for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021. For the ~~fourth~~first quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, the Company reported net income of ~~$2.7~~$5.6 million, or diluted income per common share of ~~$0.16.~~$0.28. Net income, excluding merger related expenses, for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 was ~~$6.2~~$7.7 million or ~~$0.31~~$0.39 per diluted common share, compared to net income, excluding merger related expenses, of ~~$7.9~~$6.2 million or ~~$0.46~~$0.31 per diluted common share for the ~~fourth~~first quarter of ~~2021.~~2022. When comparing net income, excluding merger related expenses, for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021, net income increased ~~$2.4~~$3.3 million, primarily due to increases in net interest income of ~~$8.6~~$10.5 million and noninterest income of ~~$3.5~~$2.9 million, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expenses of ~~$9.1 million.~~$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, ~~to the fourth quarter of 2021,~~ net income, excluding merger related expenses, ~~decreased $1.8~~increased $1.5 million, due to increases in noninterest expenses of $3.7 million and the cumulative impact of a reversal of the provision for credit losses of $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and a provision of $600 thousand in the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by increases in net interest income of ~~$1.8~~$2.2 million and ~~noninterest income~~a lower provision of ~~$917~~credit losses of $400 thousand. Merger-related expenses were recorded for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 and the ~~fourth~~first quarter of ~~2021~~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 $8.0 million, or diluted income per common share of $0.68, for the first six months of 2021. When comparing net income for the first six months of 2022 to the first six months of 2021, the increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $19.1 million and ~~$7.6~~noninterest income of $6.4 million. These improvements to income were partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $19.1 million ~~respectively.~~ resulting from the Severn merger.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Tax-equivalent net interest income is net interest income adjusted for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. As shown in the table below, tax-equivalent net interest income was ~~$22.5~~$24.7 million for the ~~first~~second quarter

Table of Contents

of 2022 and ~~$13.8~~$14.1 million for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021. Tax-equivalent net interest income was ~~$20.7~~$22.5 million for the ~~fourth~~first quarter of ~~2021.~~2022. The increase in net interest income when comparing the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021 and the ~~fourth~~first quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, was due to increases in interest and fees on loans and income from taxable investment securities, partially offset by increases in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits and subordinated debt primarily due to the acquisition of Severn. Net interest margin is tax-equivalent net interest income (annualized) divided by average earning assets. The net interest margin for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 was ~~2.78%,~~3.10% which was ~~a decrease~~an increase of ~~22bps~~19bps when compared to ~~3.00%~~2.91% for the second quarter of 2021 and an increase of 32bps when compared to 2.78% for the first quarter of ~~2021 and a decrease of 9bps when compared to 2.87% for the fourth quarter of 2021.~~2022. The ~~decline~~improvement in net interest margin in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 when compared to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021 ~~was significantly impacted by excess liquidity~~ and ~~higher average balances on lower yielding assets, coupled with additional~~

~~Table of Contents~~

borrowings resulting from the Severn acquisition. The decline in net interest margin when compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, was primarily due to a decline in the yields of loans due to lower accretion income and organic loan growth experienced late in the first quarter of 2022. Without estimated excess liquidity of $400 million, the margin for the first quarter of 2022 ~~would have been 3.07%.~~was due to higher average loan balances, accretion income from purchased loans and higher rates paid on lower yielding assets.

Interest Income

On a tax-equivalent basis, interest income increased ~~$9.0~~$11.1 million, or ~~58.4%~~71.6%, for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 when compared to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021. The improvement to interest income was the result of increases in interest and fees on loans, income from investment securities and higher rates paid on interest-bearing deposits with other banks. The primary driver for the increase in interest income on loans was the higher average volume of loans of ~~$684.9~~$772.5 million, significantly impacted by the acquisition of Severn in the fourth quarter of 2021 coupled with a higher average yield of ~~17bps, partially impacted by PPP forgiveness and accretion income from the acquired loan portfolio of Severn in the first quarter of 2022.~~25bps. The average balance of taxable investment securities increased ~~$303.2~~$260.1 million, providing ~~$1.1~~$1.3 million of additional ~~income, despite a decrease in the average yield of 14bps.~~income.

On a tax-equivalent basis, interest income increased ~~$1.9~~$2.3 million, or ~~8.6%~~9.6%, for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 when compared to the ~~fourth~~first quarter of ~~2021.~~2022. The increase was primarily a result of growth in the average balance in loans of ~~$248.6~~$81.4 million, or ~~13.2%~~3.8%. In addition, the average balance of taxable investment securities increased ~~$62.3~~$15.2 million, or 2.9%, and the average yield increased ~~7bps,~~26bps, which provided ~~$322~~$407 thousand of additional income.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased ~~$350~~$624 thousand, or ~~22.7%~~43.7%, when comparing the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021. The increase in interest expense from the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021 was the result of increases in expenses on interest-bearing deposits of ~~$174~~$455 thousand and both long-term advances from FHLB and subordinated debt for a combined ~~$175 thousand.~~$171 thousand all of which were significantly impacted by the acquisition of Severn in the 4^th quarter of 2021.

Interest expense increased ~~$137~~$158 thousand, or ~~7.8%~~8.3%, when comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of 2022 ~~to the fourth quarter of 2021~~ primarily due to an increase in interest expense on deposits. The ~~increase in interest expense~~rates paid on interest-bearing deposits ~~was due~~increased slightly to ~~an increase~~29bps in the ~~average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $284.4 million, or 15.4%, the result of both a full~~second quarter of ~~deposits acquired~~2022 from ~~Severn and $93.3 million~~26 bps in ~~organic deposit growth during~~ the first quarter of 2022. The rates paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased slightly to 26bps in the first quarter of 2022 from 27 bps in the fourth quarter of 2021, maintaining a low cost of funds on core deposits. In addition, the increase in interest expense was impacted by a full quarter of additional long-term advances from the FHLB and, junior subordinated debt acquired from Severn.

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.

Total noninterest income for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 increased ~~$3.5~~$2.9 million, or ~~136.4%~~100.9%, when compared to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021. The increase from the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021 was across all noninterest income categories but was ~~primarily due to~~largely the ~~expenses related to~~result of the addition of Severn in the fourth quarter of 2021 which drove mortgage ~~division~~banking revenue of ~~$1.9~~$1.1 million and Mid-Maryland Title Company revenue of $426 thousand, service charges on deposit accounts of ~~$685 thousand, additional rental fee income of $345~~$755 thousand and ~~Mid-Maryland Title Company revenue~~interchange fees of ~~$323~~$217 thousand.

The increase in noninterest expense when compared to ~~both~~ the ~~first quarter of 2021 and fourth~~second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to increases in salaries and wages, employee related benefits, occupancy expense, data processing, amortization of intangible assets and legal and professional fees, which were all significantly impacted by adding Severn branches and its ~~operations~~operations. The increase in noninterest expense when compared to the first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to increases in fee and loan servicing expenses as well as derivatives expense.

Total noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022, excluding merger-related expenses, increased $18.5 million, or 87.9%, when compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily a ~~full quarter~~result of higher salaries, employee benefits, occupancy expense, other intangibles, data processing costs, other noninterest expenses, and FDIC insurance premiums due to significant increases in ~~2022.In addition, salaries~~new and ~~wages were impacted by incentive increases which took effect in January~~existing customers and the acquisition of ~~2022.~~Severn.

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 and $600 thousand for the first quarter of ~~2022, $425 thousand~~2022. The decrease in the provision for credit losses during the ~~first~~second quarter of ~~2021 and $(1.7) million for~~2022 as compared to the ~~fourth quarter of 2021.~~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 ~~0.66%~~and 1.02% at ~~December 31, 2021 and 0.98% at March~~June 30, 2021. Excluding PPP loans and acquired loans, the ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period-end loans was 0.89% at June 30, 2022, slightly lower than the 0.92% at March 31, 2022 ~~slightly lower than the 0.93% at December 31, 2021~~ and lower than the ~~1.11%~~1.12% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The ~~primary driver of the decreased percentage of the allowance to total loans, excluding PPP loans, as compared to December 31, 2021, was due to further reduced pandemic qualitative factors. The decrease~~decline in the percentage of the allowance ~~to total loans, excluding PPP loans, as compared to March 31,~~from the second quarter of 2021 was ~~also~~ primarily ~~attributed to~~ the ~~Company’s reduction~~result of improved credit quality, including lower historical loss experience as well as lower pandemic related qualitative ~~factors within the allowance model.~~reserves. The Company reported net recoveries in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 of ~~$166~~$573 thousand, compared to no net ~~charge offs or~~ recoveries of $125 thousand for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021 and net recoveries of ~~$142~~$166 thousand for the ~~fourth~~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.

The provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $800 thousand and $1.1 million, respectively, while net recoveries were $739 thousand and $125 thousand, respectively. The decrease in provision for credit losses was the result of significant recoveries in the first six months of 2022 and overall improved credit quality. The ratio of allowance to total loans increased from 0.66% at December 31, 2021, to 0.68% at June 30, 2022. Excluding PPP and acquired loans, the ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period-end loans was 0.89% at June 30, 2022, lower than the 0.93% at December 31, 2021. The primary drivers for the decrease in the percentage of allowance for credit losses to total loans were significant originations within the construction and consumer loan portfolios and the acquisition of Severn. The ratio of annualized net recoveries to average loans was 0.07% for the first half of 2022, compared to annualized net recoveries to average loans of 0.03% for the first half of 2021. Management will continue to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses as more economic data becomes available and as changes within the Company’s portfolio are known.

Income tax expense increased when compared to both the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021 and ~~fourth~~first quarter of ~~2021~~2022 due to higher pre-tax earnings. The effective tax rate for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 was ~~25.6%~~26.2%, ~~31.8% for the fourth quarter of 2021, and 26.4%~~25.6% for the first quarter of 2022, and 26.4% for the second quarter of 2021.

Commercial real estate loans were ~~$928.1~~$953.1 million, or ~~42.6%~~42.1% of total loans, at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, compared to $896.2 million, or 42.3% of total loans, at December 31, 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans (including construction, land and land development loans) represented ~~291.4%~~292.2% of total risk-based capital. At such time, construction, land and land development loans represented ~~79.1%~~80.4% of total risk-based capital.

The commercial real estate portfolio (including construction) has increased ~~101.4%~~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 ~~$14.7~~$15.5 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, $13.9 million at December 31, 2021 and ~~$14.3~~$15.1 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 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 ~~compared to~~and net recoveries of ~~$142~~$125 thousand for the ~~fourth quarter of 2021 and no net charge offs or recoveries for the first~~second quarter of 2021. The ratio of annualized net recoveries to average loans was ~~0.03%~~0.10% for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022, compared to annualized net recoveries of 0.03% for the ~~fourth~~first quarter of ~~2021~~2022 and ~~0.00%~~annualized net recoveries of 0.03% for the ~~first~~second 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 ~~0.67%~~0.68% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 0.66% at December 31, 2021. Excluding PPP loans and acquired loans from Severn and Northwest, the ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period-end loans was ~~0.92%~~0.89% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, ~~slightly~~ lower than the 0.93% at December 31, 2021. The decrease in the percentage of the allowance to total loans, excluding PPP ~~loans and acquired loans, at March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021, was primarily due to the reduction of pandemic~~

loans and acquired loans, at June 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021, was primarily the result of improved credit quality, including lower historical loss experience as well as lower pandemic related qualitative factors. Management currently believes that the provision for credit losses and the resulting allowance were adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

The following ~~table presents~~tables present a summary of the activity in the allowance for credit losses at or for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Nonperforming Assets and Accruing TDRs

As shown in the following table, nonperforming assets were ~~$3.9~~$3.7 million and $3.0 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The balance of nonperforming assets increased primarily due to an increase in nonaccrual loans of ~~$844~~$689 thousand, or ~~42.1%.~~34.4% primarily due to the acquisition of Severn. Accruing troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) decreased ~~$663~~$773 thousand, or ~~11.7%~~13.6%, over the same time period. Other real estate owned properties ~~increased~~decreased to ~~$561~~$197 thousand at June 30, 2022 from $532 thousand at December 31, 2021. The ratio of nonaccrual loans and accruing TDRs to total loans ~~stayed the same~~ratio at June 30, 2022 was 0.34% compared to 0.36% at ~~March 31, 2022 and~~ December 31, 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 securities~~Securities 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 ability to hold such securities until maturity. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, ~~21.5%~~18.6% of the portfolio of debt securities ~~were~~was classified as available for sale and ~~78.5%~~81.4% was classified as held to maturity, compared to 22.6% and 77.4% respectively, at December 31, 2021. See Note 4 – “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 ~~$525.0~~$564.8 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, a ~~$2.1~~$37.7 million, or ~~less than 1%~~7.15%, ~~decrease~~increase since December 31, 2021. The ~~decrease~~increase was primarily due to ~~proceeds from maturities and principal repayments of available for sale securities of $7.0 million and held to maturity securities of $11.3 million, partially offset by~~ purchases of held to maturity securities of ~~$14.1~~$78.5 million, purchases of restricted securities of $5.7 million and purchases of equity securities of ~~$3 thousand.~~$7 thousand partially offset by proceeds from maturities and principal repayments of available for sale securities of $12.8 million and held to maturity securities of $23.6 million. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, ~~78.2%~~77.4% of the securities available for sale were mortgage-backed, ~~19.9%~~20.6% were U.S. Government agencies and ~~1.9%~~2.0% were corporate bonds, compared to 79.2%, 19.1% and 1.7%, respectively, at year-end 2021. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, ~~74.9%~~73.8% of the securities held to maturity were mortgage-backed, ~~21.3%~~23.3% were U.S. Government agencies, ~~3.7%~~2.8% were subordinated debt instruments and less than 1% were community reinvestment bonds, compared to 74.8%, 21.4%, 3.6% and less than 1%, respectively, at year-end 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 ~~volatility~~increases in interest rates and are not indicative of any credit concerns due to the Company holding high quality securities.

Deposits

Total deposits at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 amounted to ~~$3.07~~$3.01 billion, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$42.3~~$11.9 million, or ~~1.4%~~less than 1%, when compared to the level at December 31, 2021. The ~~increase~~decrease in total deposits consisted of a decrease in money market and savings accounts of $79.7 million, $38.4 million in noninterest bearing deposits and $11.9 million in time deposits partially offset by an increase in interest bearing checking accounts of ~~$171.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in savings and money market accounts of $77.9 million and noninterest-bearing deposits of $51.1~~$118.1 million.

Short-Term Borrowings

~~Short-term~~The Company had no short-term borrowings ~~consisted~~as of June 30, 2022, compared to short-term borrowings consisting of securities sold under agreements to repurchase ~~which decreased by~~of $4.1 million ~~or 100%,~~ at ~~March 31, 2022 when compared to~~ December 31, 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding short-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 ~~March 31,~~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 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.

~~On October 31, 2021,~~As a result of the Severn merger, the Company acquired ~~from the Severn merger,~~ 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 ~~March~~December 31, ~~2022~~2021 is presented net of a fair value adjustment of $2.3 million and $2.4 million, ~~at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.~~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 decrease in cash and cash equivalents was ~~$12.6~~$180.6 million for the first ~~three~~six months of 2022 compared to an increase of ~~$40.2~~$50.3 million for the first ~~three~~six months of 2021. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents in 2022 was mainly due to funding net loan growth of ~~$61.2~~$143.9 million and ~~a purchase~~purchases of ~~bank owned life insurance~~securities held to maturity of ~~$10~~$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 ~~$283.1~~$290.0 million and ~~$363.9~~$363.7 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 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 ~~$1.2 million to $351.9~~$2.1 million, or less than 1%, to $352.8 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 when compared to December 31, 2021 primarily due to the current year’s retained earnings, partially offset by ~~dividends paid during the first three months of 2022 and the change~~an increase in ~~fair value of available-for-sale securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).~~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).

The 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 material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its 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 regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

In July 2013, federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that revised their risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with certain standards that were developed by Basel III and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The final rule currently applies to all depository institutions and bank holding companies and savings 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 acquisition 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 Company to maintain minimum ratios of common equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and total capital as a percentage of assets and 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 leverage ratio.

The following tables present the applicable capital ratios as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Our primary market risk is interest rate fluctuation and management has procedures in place to evaluate and mitigate this risk. This risk and these procedures are discussed in Item 7 of Part II of the 2021 Annual Report under the caption “Market Risk Management and Interest Sensitivity”. Management recognizes that recent increases in interest rates has had an impact on the Company’s market risk. The procedures used to evaluate and mitigate these risks remain unchanged and we continue to monitor our actual and simulated sensitivity positions since December 31, 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

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

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
