We have realigned key team leaders and other personnel to proactively conduct new business development, as we clearly recognize there are solid opportunities across our footprint, even in this environment, for our organization as the dominant independent banking company on the Delmarva Peninsula.” So, how well did we deliver on what we said we expected to do? • We significantly reduced troubled assets (loans) and bank-owned real estate that we have foreclosed upon by writing off approximately $26 million during 2012, bringing the total during this multi-year Delmarva real estate downturn to about $63 million since 2010. Our historically strong capital levels resulting from our hallmark conservative balance sheet management enabled the company to absorb necessary write-downs and to dispose of nonperforming loans. Our capital ratios remain strong, with Tier 1 Leverage and Total Risk-Based ratios of 8.32% and 13.32% at year- end. Both are substantially above the levels required to be considered “well capitalized” as defined by the regulatory authorities. development, construction, housing sales, and real estate maintenance. Still, we are quite confident that our company will emerge from this unprecedented cycle as the ongoing dominant financial institution across our geographic footprint. We have the capital strength, the management talent—with a good succession plan, the leading market share, and the long-standing reputation needed to prevail as the dominant and most successful financial services provider locally headquartered in the Delmarva region. We appreciate the support and confidence of all of our loyal shareholders. Sincerely, W. Moorhead Vermilye Christopher F. Spurry • In terms of improving earnings, we made a major decision late in the fourth quarter to incur the cost of terminating a portion of an interest rate cap instrument, as reported in our year-end earnings press release. This action will contribute to an ongoing improvement in the net interest margin of our banking operations beginning in the first quarter of 2013 and continuing thereafter. Restoring the margin to historical levels in our lead subsidiary Talbot Bank will be meaningful in increasing net income. • On controlling the expense side of the income statement, we have been closely- focused. There have been no senior executive bonuses paid, pay raises given to employees were modest—where deserved, director fees have been capped and to further contain costs, open but non-critical positions remain unfilled. We continue to assess a variety of other cost-containment options as we move into 2013. Our operating environment remains challenging. Adverse external circum- stances and unpredictable variables—the factors beyond our control, continue to resist improvement. Everyone recognizes the uncertainty associated with the future of the national economy, but there are unique factors affecting the Delmarva micro-economy. These revolve around commercial and residential real-estate W. Moorhead Vermilye Chief Executive Officer Christopher F.
