NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements of The Community Financial Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Community Bank of the Chesapeake (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, Community Mortgage Corporation of Tri-County, included herein are unaudited.

The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring accruals that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The balances as of December 31, 2014 have been derived from audited financial statements. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies as disclosed in the 2014 Annual Report. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the remainder of the year or any other period. Certain previously reported amounts have been restated to conform to the 2015 presentation.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report.

NOTE 2 – NATURE OF BUSINESS

The Company provides a variety of financial services to individuals and businesses through its offices in Southern Maryland and King George and Fredericksburg, Virginia. Its primary deposit products are demand, savings and time deposits, and its primary lending products are commercial and residential mortgage loans, commercial loans, construction and land development loans, home equity and second mortgages and commercial equipment loans.

The Bank conducts business through its main office in Waldorf, Maryland, and eleven branch offices in Waldorf, Bryans Road, Dunkirk, Leonardtown, La Plata, Charlotte Hall, Prince Frederick, Lusby, California, Maryland; and King George and Fredericksburg, Virginia. The Company maintains five loan production offices (“LPOs”) in Annapolis, La Plata, Prince Frederick and Leonardtown, Maryland; and Fredericksburg, Virginia. The Leonardtown and Fredericksburg LPOs are co-located with branches. The Company opened its branch in Fredericksburg, Virginia in July 2014 and its LPO in Annapolis, Maryland in October 2014.

NOTE 3 – INCOME TAXES

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its subsidiaries. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws and when it is considered more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized. It is the Company’s policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense. The Company’s income tax returns for the past three years are subject to examinations by tax authorities, and may change upon examination.

NOTE 4 - ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE GAIN (LOSS)

The following tables present the components of comprehensive gain (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The Company’s comprehensive gain (loss) was solely related to securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

NOTE 5 - EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

Basic earnings per common share represent income available to common shareholders, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method. At both June 30, 2015 and 2014, there were 87,436 options, which were excluded from the calculation as their effect would be anti-dilutive, because the exercise price of the options were greater than the average market price of the common shares. The Company has not granted any stock options since 2007 and all options outstanding at June 30, 2015 were anti-dilutive. Unvested restricted stock is excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share. At June 30, 2015 there were 37,078 unvested shares of restricted stock. Basic and diluted earnings per share have been computed based on weighted-average common and common equivalent shares outstanding as follows:

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	June 30,					June 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2015		2014			2015			2014
Net Income	$	1,711	$	1,335		$	3,532		$	3,056

Average number of shares used to calculate diluted EPS		4,687,201		4,669,509			4,690,811			4,662,595

NOTE 6 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has stock-based incentive arrangements to attract and retain key personnel. In May 4, 2015, the 2015 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) was approved by shareholders, which authorizes the issuance of restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, stock units and stock options to the Board of Directors and key employees. Compensation expense for service-based awards is recognized over the vesting period. Performance-based awards are recognized based on a vesting schedule, if applicable, and the probability of achieving goals specified at the time of the grant.

Stock-based compensation expense totaled $68,000 and $122,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and $10,000 and $146,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Stock-based compensation expense consisted of the vesting of grants of restricted stock. In addition, in 2014 stock-based compensation expense included the vesting of restricted stock units.

All outstanding options were fully vested and the Company has not granted any stock options since 2007. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding employee stock options is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company estimates expected market price volatility and expected term of the options based on historical data and other factors.

The exercise price for options granted is set at the discretion of the committee administering the Plan, but is not less than the market value of the shares as of the date of grant. An option’s maximum term is 10 years and the options vest at the discretion of the committee.

The following tables below summarize outstanding and exercisable options at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

			Weighted				Weighted- Average

Exercisable at December 31, 2014		87,436		$	23.60	$	-		-

Options outstanding are all currently exercisable and are summarized as follows:

Shares Outstanding		Weighted Average	Weighted Average
June 30, 2015		Remaining Contractual Life	Exercise Price
	66,225	1 years	$	22.29
	21,211	2 years		27.70
	87,436		$	23.60

The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding stock options and exercisable stock options was $0 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. All options outstanding at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were anti-dilutive and therefore the intrinsic value was $0. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period, which was $21.50 and $20.07 per share at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and the exercise price multiplied by the number of in the money options outstanding.

The Company granted restricted stock and stock units in accordance with the Plan. The vesting period for granted restricted stock is between three and five years. As of June 30, 2015, unrecognized stock compensation expense was $804,000. The following tables summarize the unvested restricted stock awards and units outstanding at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. There were no outstanding stock units at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

NOTE 7 - GUARANTEED PREFERRED BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES (“TRUPs”)

On June 15, 2005, Tri-County Capital Trust II (“Capital Trust II”), a Delaware business trust formed, funded and wholly owned by the Company, issued $5.0 million of variable-rate capital securities in a private pooled transaction. The variable rate is based on the 90-day LIBOR rate plus 1.70%. The Trust used the proceeds from this issuance, along with the $155,000 for Capital Trust II’s common securities, to purchase $5.2 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The interest rate on the debentures and the trust preferred securities is variable and adjusts quarterly. These capital securities qualify as Tier I capital and are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in Junior Subordinated Debentures.” Both the capital securities of Capital Trust II and the junior subordinated debentures are scheduled to mature on June 15, 2035, unless called by the Company.

On July 22, 2004, Tri-County Capital Trust I (“Capital Trust I”), a Delaware business trust formed, funded and wholly owned by the Company, issued $7.0 million of variable-rate capital securities in a private pooled transaction. The variable rate is based on the 90-day LIBOR rate plus 2.60%. The Trust used the proceeds from this issuance, along with the Company’s $217,000 capital contribution for Capital Trust I’s common securities, to purchase $7.2 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The interest rate on the debentures and the trust preferred securities is variable and adjusts quarterly. These debentures qualify as Tier I capital and are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in Junior Subordinated Debentures.” Both the capital securities of Capital Trust I and the junior subordinated debentures are scheduled to mature on July 22, 2034, unless called by the Company.

NOTE 8 – SUBORDINATED NOTES

On February 6, 2015 the Company issued $23.0 million of unsecured 6.25% fixed to floating rate subordinated notes due February 15, 2025 (“subordinated notes”). On February 13, 2015, the Company used proceeds of the offering to redeem all $20 million of the Company’s outstanding preferred stock issued under the Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”) program. The subordinated notes qualify as Tier 2 regulatory capital and replaced SBLF Tier 1 capital. The subordinated notes are not listed on any securities exchange or included in any automated dealer quotation system and there is no market for the notes. The notes are unsecured obligations and are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior debt, whether secured or unsecured. The notes are not guaranteed obligations of any of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Interest will accrue at a fixed per annum rate of 6.25% from and including the issue date to but excluding February 15, 2020. From and including February 15, 2020 to but excluding the maturity date interest will accrue at a floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 479 basis points. Interest is payable on the notes on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing August 15, 2015, through February 15, 2020, and thereafter February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year through the maturity date or earlier redemption date.

The subordinated notes may be redeemed in whole or in part on February 15, 2020 or on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter and upon the occurrence of certain special events. The redemption price is equal to 100% of the principal amount of the subordinated notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Any partial redemption will be made pro rata among all holders of the subordinated notes. The subordinated notes are not subject to repayment at the option of the holders. The subordinated notes may be redeemed at any time, if (1) a change or prospective change in law occurs that could prevent the Company from deducting interest payable on the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (2) a subsequent event occurs that precludes the notes from being recognized as Tier 2 Capital for regulatory capital purposes, or (3) the Company is required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

NOTE 9 - OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED (“OREO”)

OREO assets are presented net of valuation allowances. The Company considers OREO as classified assets for regulatory and financial reporting. An analysis of OREO activity follows.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, additions of $1.6 million consisted of $784,000 for five residential properties, $378,000 for three residential lots and $400,000 for a commercial building. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, additions of $1.1 million consisted of two residential properties totaling $442,000 and a commercial building of $640,000. The Company disposed of two residential properties and two finished residential lots at a loss of $18,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to disposals of three residential properties at a gain of $4,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Additions to the valuation allowances of $374,000 and $234,000 were taken to adjust properties to current appraised values for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. OREO carrying amounts reflect management’s estimate of the realizable value of these properties incorporating current appraised values, local real estate market conditions and related costs.

At June 30, 2015, certain asset-backed securities with an amortized cost of $21.6 million were pledged to secure certain deposits. At June 30, 2015, asset-backed securities with an amortized cost of $2.1 million were pledged as collateral for advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Atlanta.

At June 30, 2015, 99% of the asset-backed securities portfolio was rated AAA by Standard & Poor’s or the equivalent credit rating from another major rating agency. AFS asset-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities (“GSEs”) had an average life of 4.55 years and an average duration of 4.19 years and are guaranteed by their issuer as to credit risk. HTM asset-backed securities issued by GSEs had an average life of 4.65 years and an average duration of 4.32 years and are guaranteed by their issuer as to credit risk.

At December 31, 2014, 99% of the asset-backed securities portfolio was rated AAA by Standard & Poor’s or the equivalent credit rating from another major rating agency. AFS asset-backed securities issued by GSEs had an average life of 3.66 years and average duration of 3.41 years and are guaranteed by their issuer as to credit risk. HTM asset-backed securities issued by GSEs had an average life of 3.40 years and average duration of 3.21 years and are guaranteed by their issuer as to credit risk.

We believe that AFS securities with unrealized losses will either recover in market value or be paid off as agreed. The Company intends to, and has the ability to, hold these securities until recovery of the market value which may be at maturity. We believe that the losses are the result of general perceptions of safety and creditworthiness of the entire sector and a general disruption of orderly markets in the asset class.

Management has the ability and intent to hold the HTM securities with unrealized losses until they mature, at which time the Company will receive full value for the securities. Because our intention is not to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, management considers the unrealized losses in the held-to-maturity portfolio to be temporary.

No charges related to other-than-temporary impairment were made during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company sold one HTM security with a carrying value of $68,000 and recognized a loss of $1,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized net gains on the sale of securities of $24,000. The Company sold five AFS securities with a carrying value of $2.1 million and ten HTM securities with aggregate carrying values of $3.2 million, recognizing gains of $8,000 and $16,000, respectively. The sale of HTM securities were permitted under ASC 320 “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” ASC 320 permits the sale of HTM securities for certain changes in circumstances. Securities were disposed of using the safe harbor rule that allows for the sale of HTM securities that have principal payments paid down to less than 15% of original purchased par. ASC 320 10-25-15 indicates that a sale of a debt security after a substantial portion of the principal has been collected is equivalent to holding the security to maturity. In addition, HTM securities were disposed of under ASC 320-10-25-6 due to a significant deterioration in the issues’ creditworthiness and the increase in regulatory risk weights mandated for risk-based capital purposes.

		9,925		9,720

	$	885,914	$	862,409

At June 30, 2015, the Bank’s allowance for loan losses totaled $8.8 million, or 0.98% of loan balances, as compared to $8.5 million, or 0.97% of loan balances, at December 31, 2014. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on a periodic evaluation of the portfolio with consideration given to the overall loss experience, current economic conditions, size, growth and composition of the loan portfolio, financial condition of the borrowers and other relevant factors that, in management’s judgment, warrant recognition in providing an adequate allowance.

Risk Characteristics of Portfolio Segments

The Company manages its credit products and exposure to credit losses (credit risk) by the following specific portfolio segments (classes), which are levels at which the Company develops and documents its allowance for loan loss methodology. These segments are:

Commercial Real Estate (“CRE”)

Commercial and other real estate projects include office buildings, retail locations, churches, other special purpose buildings and commercial construction. Commercial construction balances were 5.2% and 4.4% of the CRE portfolio at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Bank offers both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans under these product lines. The primary security on a commercial real estate loan is the real property and the leases that produce income for the real property. Loans secured by commercial real estate are generally limited to 80% of the lower of the appraised value or sales price at origination and have an initial contractual loan payment period ranging from three to 20 years.

Loans secured by commercial real estate are larger and involve greater risks than one-to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by such properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.

Residential First Mortgages

Residential first mortgage loans are generally long-term loans, amortized on a monthly basis, with principal and interest due each month. The contractual loan payment period for residential loans typically ranges from ten to 30 years. The Bank’s experience indicates that real estate loans remain outstanding for significantly shorter time periods than their contractual terms. Borrowers may refinance or prepay loans at their option, without penalty. The Bank’s residential portfolio has both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate residential first mortgages.

The annual and lifetime limitations on interest rate adjustments may limit the increases in interest rates on these loans. There are also credit risks resulting from potential increased costs to the borrower as a result of repricing of adjustable-rate mortgage loans. During periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable-rate mortgage loans may increase due to the upward adjustment of interest cost to the borrower. The Bank’s adjustable rate residential first mortgage portfolio was $23.4 million or 2.6% of total gross loans of $895.8 million at June 30, 2015.

Construction and Land Development

The Bank offers loans for the construction of one-to-four family dwellings. Generally, these loans are secured by the real estate under construction as well as by guarantees of the principals involved. In addition, the Bank offers loans to acquire and develop land, as well as loans on undeveloped, subdivided lots for home building by individuals.

A decline in demand for new housing might adversely affect the ability of borrowers to repay these loans. Construction and land development loans are inherently riskier than providing financing on owner-occupied real estate. The Bank’s risk of loss is affected by the accuracy of the initial estimate of the market value of the completed project as well as the accuracy of the cost estimates made to complete the project. In addition, the volatility of the real estate market has made it increasingly difficult to ensure that the valuation of land associated with these loans is accurate. During the construction phase, a number of factors could result in delays and cost overruns. If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, the Bank may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of the development. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, a project’s value might be insufficient to assure full repayment. As a result of these factors, construction lending often involves the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the project rather than the ability of the borrower or guarantor to repay principal and interest. If the Bank forecloses on a project, there can be no assurance that the Bank will be able to recover all of the unpaid balance of, and accrued interest on, the loan as well as related foreclosure and holding costs.

Home Equity and Second Mortgage Loans

The Bank maintains a portfolio of home equity and second mortgage loans. These products contain a higher risk of default than residential first mortgages as in the event of foreclosure, the first mortgage would need to be paid off prior to collection of the second mortgage. This risk has been heightened as the market value of residential property has declined.

Commercial Loans

The Bank offers commercial loans to its business customers. The Bank offers a variety of commercial loan products including term loans and lines of credit. Such loans are generally made for terms of five years or less. The Bank offers both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans under these product lines. When making commercial business loans, the Bank considers the financial condition of the borrower, the borrower’s payment history of both corporate and personal debt, the projected cash flows of the business, the viability of the industry in which the consumer operates, the value of the collateral, and the borrower’s ability to service the debt from income. These loans are primarily secured by equipment, real property, accounts receivable, or other security as determined by the Bank.

Commercial loans are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flows of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself.

Consumer Loans

Consumer loans consist of loans secured by automobiles, boats, recreational vehicles and trucks. The Bank also makes home improvement loans and offers both secured and unsecured personal lines of credit. Consumer loans entail greater risk from other loan types due to being secured by rapidly depreciating assets or the reliance on the borrower’s continuing financial stability.

Commercial Equipment Loans

These loans consist primarily of fixed-rate, short-term loans collateralized by a commercial customer’s equipment. When making commercial equipment loans, the Bank considers the same factors it considers when underwriting a commercial business loan. Commercial loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flows of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. In the case of business failure, collateral would need to be liquidated to provide repayment for the loan. In many cases, the highly specialized nature of collateral equipment would make full recovery from the sale of collateral problematic.

Non-accrual and Past Due Loans

Non-accrual loans as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows:

	June 30, 2015				December 31, 2014
(dollars in thousands)	Total Non-accrual Loans		Total Number of Loans		Total Non-accrual Loans		Total Number of Loans

Commercial real estate	$	6,119		13	$	3,824		11
Residential first mortgages		1,158		5		533		2
Construction and land development		3,554		2		3,634		2
Home equity and second mortgages		366		5		399		6
Commercial loans		1,472		7		1,587		6
Commercial equipment		387		5		286		4
	$	13,056		37	$	10,263		31

The Bank had 37 non-accrual loans at June 30, 2015 compared to 31 non-accrual loans at December 31, 2014. Non-accrual loans at June 30, 2015 included $10.4 million, or 80% of non-accrual loans, attributed to 18 loans representing five customer relationships classified as substandard. Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2014 included $8.8 million, or 86% of nonperforming loans, attributed to 16 loans representing six customer relationships classified as substandard. Of these loans at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, four loans totaling $3.8 and $3.9 million, respectively, represented a stalled residential development project. During the second quarter of 2014, the Bank deferred the collection of principal and interest to enable the project to use available funds to build units and complete the project. The stalled development project loans are considered both troubled debt restructures (“TDRs”) and non-accrual loans. Additionally at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Bank had one TDR commercial real estate loan of $1.0 million that is greater than 90 days delinquent. These loans are classified solely as non-accrual loans for the calculation of financial ratios.

Non-accrual loans on which the recognition of interest has been discontinued, which did not have a specific allowance for impairment, amounted to $12.3 million and $9.3 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Interest due but not recognized on these balances at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $898,000 and $781,000, respectively. Non-accrual loans with a specific allowance for impairment on which the recognition of interest has been discontinued amounted to $802,000 and $1.0 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Interest due but not recognized on these balances at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $72,000 and $64,000, respectively.

The Bank added six and 15 TDRs totaling $2.3 million and $12.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively. Two TDRs totaling $1.6 million were disposed of during the second quarter of 2015 due to a payoff and refinancing by another lender. The Bank had specific reserves of $447,000 on seven TDRs totaling $3.0 million at June 30, 2015 and $251,000 on five TDRs totaling $2.5 million at December 31, 2014.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, four loans totaling $3.8 and $3.9 million, respectively, represented a stalled residential development project. During the second quarter of 2014, the Bank deferred the collection of principal and interest to enable the project to use available funds to build units and complete the project. The stalled development project loans are considered both TDRs and non-accrual loans. Additionally at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Bank had one TDR commercial real estate loan of $1.0 million that is greater than 90 days delinquent. These loans are classified solely as non-accrual loans for the calculation of financial ratios.

Interest income in the amount of $249,000 and $563,000 was recognized on TDR loans for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The following tables detail activity in the allowance for loan losses at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and for the year ended December 31, 2014 and loan receivable balances at June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and at December 31, 2014. An allocation of the allowance to one category of loans does not prevent the Company’s ability to utilize the allowance to absorb losses in a different category. The loan receivables are disaggregated on the basis of the Company’s impairment methodology.

A risk grading scale is used to assign grades to commercial real estate, construction and land development, commercial loans and commercial equipment loans. Loans are graded at inception, annually thereafter when financial statements are received and at other times when there is an indication that a credit may have weakened or improved. Only commercial loan relationships with an aggregate exposure to the Bank of $750,000 or greater are subject to being risk rated.

Home equity and second mortgages and consumer loans are evaluated for creditworthiness in underwriting and are monitored based on borrower payment history. Residential first mortgages are evaluated for creditworthiness during credit due diligence before being purchased. Residential first mortgages, home equity and second mortgages and consumer loans are classified as unrated unless they are part of a larger commercial relationship that requires grading or are troubled debt restructures or nonperforming loans with an Other Assets Especially Mentioned (“OAEM”) or higher risk rating due to a delinquent payment history.

Management regularly reviews credit quality indicators as part of its individual loan reviews and on a monthly and quarterly basis. The overall quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio is assessed using the Bank’s risk grading scale, the level and trends of net charge-offs, nonperforming loans and delinquencies, the performance of troubled debt restructured loans and the general economic conditions in the Company’s geographical market. This review process is assisted by frequent internal reporting of loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming and potential problem loans. Credit quality indicators and allowance factors are adjusted based on management’s judgment during the monthly and quarterly review process. Loans subject to risk ratings are graded on a scale of one to ten. The Company considers loans classified substandard, doubtful and loss as classified assets for regulatory and financial reporting.

Ratings 1 thru 6 - Pass

Ratings 1 thru 6 have asset risks ranging from excellent low risk to adequate. The specific rating assigned considers customer history of earnings, cash flows, liquidity, leverage, capitalization, consistency of debt service coverage, the nature and extent of customer relationship and other relevant specific business factors such as the stability of the industry or market area, changes to management, litigation or unexpected events that could have an impact on risks.

Rating 7 - OAEM (Other Assets Especially Mentioned) – Special Mention

These credits, while protected by the financial strength of the borrowers, guarantors or collateral, have reduced quality due to economic conditions, less than adequate earnings performance or other factors which require the lending officer to direct more than normal attention to the credit. Financing alternatives may be limited and/or command higher risk interest rates. OAEM loans are the first adversely classified assets on our watch list. These relationships will be reviewed at least quarterly.

Rating 8 - Substandard

Substandard assets are assets that are inadequately protected by the sound worth or paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged. These assets have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified substandard. The loans may have a delinquent history or combination of weak collateral, weak guarantor strength or operating losses. When a loan is assigned to this category the Bank may estimate a specific reserve in the loan loss allowance analysis. These assets listed may include assets with histories of repossessions or some that are non-performing bankruptcies. These relationships will be reviewed at least quarterly.

Rating 9 - Doubtful

Doubtful assets have many of the same characteristics of Substandard with the exception that the Bank has determined that loss is not only possible but is probable and the risk is close to certain that loss will occur. When a loan is assigned to this category the Bank will identify the probable loss and the loan will receive a specific reserve in the loan loss allowance analysis. These relationships will be reviewed at least quarterly.

Rating 10 – Loss

Once an asset is identified as a definite loss to the Bank, it will receive the classification of “loss”. There may be some future potential recovery; however it is more practical to write off the loan at the time of classification. Losses will be taken in the period in which they are determined to be uncollectable.

NOTE 12 - REGULATORY CAPITAL

On January 1, 2015, the Company and Bank became subject to the new Basel III Capital Rules with full compliance with all of the final rule's requirements phased in over a multi-year schedule, to be fully phased-in by January 1, 2019. In July 2013, the Company’s primary federal regulator, the Federal Reserve, published final rules (the “Basel III Capital Rules”) establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations. The rules implement the Basel Committee’s December 2010 framework known as “Basel III” for strengthening international capital standards as well as certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Basel III Capital Rules substantially revise the risk-based capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and depository institutions compared to the previous U.S. risk-based capital rules. The Basel III Capital Rules define the components of capital and address other issues affecting the numerator in banking institutions’ regulatory capital ratios. The Basel III Capital Rules also address risk weights and other issues affecting the denominator in banking institutions’ regulatory capital ratios and replace the existing risk-weighting approach with a more risk-sensitive approach. The Basel III Capital Rules also implement the requirements of Section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Act to remove references to credit ratings from the federal banking agencies’ rules.

The rules include a new common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets minimum ratio of 4.5%, raise the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4.0% to 6.0%, require a minimum ratio (“Min. Ratio”) of Total Capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, and require a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. A new capital conservation buffer (“CCB”) is also established above the regulatory minimum capital requirements. This capital conservation buffer will be phased-in beginning January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increase each subsequent year by an additional 0.625% until reaching its final level of 2.5% on January 1, 2019. Strict eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments were also implemented under the final rules. The final rules also revise the definition and calculation of Tier 1 capital, Total Capital, and risk-weighted assets.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company and Bank were well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action under the new Basel III Capital Rules. Management believes, as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject. The Company’s and the Bank’s actual regulatory capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table.

NOTE 13 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements” and FASB ASC Topic 825, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, which provides a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. FASB ASC Topic 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet in periods subsequent to initial recognition, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, available for sale investment securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired loans).

FASB ASC Topic 820 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. FASB ASC Topic 820 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 utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available for sale 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 loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Under FASB ASC Topic 820, the Company groups assets and liabilities 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 the fair value. 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.

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 and 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.

Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with the Company’s monthly or quarterly valuation process.

There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and the Company had no Level 3 fair value assets or liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:

Securities Available for Sale

Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by GSEs, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Loans Receivable

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis, however, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan loss is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan are considered impaired. Management estimates the fair value of impaired loans using one of several methods, including the collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Impaired loans not requiring a specific allowance represent loans for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, substantially all of the impaired loans were evaluated based upon the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with FASB ASC 820, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral (loans with impairment) require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Other Real Estate Owned

OREO is adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, OREO is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised value of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset at nonrecurring Level 3.

NOTE 14 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Therefore, any aggregate unrealized gains or losses should not be interpreted as a forecast of future earnings or cash flows. Furthermore, the fair values disclosed should not be interpreted as the aggregate current value of the Company.

Valuation Methodology

Investment securities - Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

FHLB and FRB stock - Fair values are at cost, which is the carrying value of the securities.

Investment in bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) – Fair values are at cash surrender value.

Loans receivable - For conforming residential first-mortgage loans, the market price for loans with similar coupons and maturities was used. For nonconforming loans with maturities similar to conforming loans, the coupon was adjusted for credit risk. Loans that did not have quoted market prices were priced using the discounted cash flow method. The discount rate used was the rate currently offered on similar products. Loans priced using the discounted cash flow method included residential construction loans, commercial real estate loans and consumer loans. The estimated fair value of loans held for sale is based on the terms of the related sale commitments.

Loans held for sale - Fair values are derived from secondary market quotations for similar instruments.

Savings, NOW and money market deposits - The fair value of checking accounts, saving accounts and money market accounts were the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.

Time certificates - The fair value was determined using the discounted cash flow method. The discount rate was equal to the rate currently offered on similar products.

Long-term debt and short-term borrowings - These were valued using the discounted cash flow method. The discount rate was equal to the rate currently offered on similar borrowings.

Guaranteed preferred beneficial interest in junior subordinated securities (TRUPs) - These were valued using discounted cash flows. The discount rate was equal to the rate currently offered on similar borrowings.

Subordinated notes - These were valued using discounted cash flows. The discount rate was equal to the rate currently offered on similar borrowings.

Off-balance sheet instruments - The Company charges fees for commitments to extend credit. Interest rates on loans for which these commitments are extended are normally committed for periods of less than one month. Fees charged on standby letters of credit and other financial guarantees are deemed to be immaterial and these guarantees are expected to be settled at face amount or expire unused. It is impractical to assign any fair value to these commitments.

The Company’s estimated fair values of financial instruments are presented in the following tables.

At June 30, 2015, the Company had outstanding loan commitments and standby letters of credit of $55.7 million and $18.0 million, respectively. Based on the short-term lives of these instruments, the Company does not believe that the fair value of these instruments differs significantly from their carrying values.

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amount presented herein.

NOTE 15 – NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-04 - Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) - Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The amendments clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. The amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU 2014-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2014-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update affects entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enter into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2014-11 - Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) - Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. ASU 2014-11 requires that repurchase-to-maturity transactions be accounted for as secured borrowings consistent with the accounting for other repurchase agreements. In addition, ASU 2014-11 requires separate accounting for repurchase financings, which entails the transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement from the same counterparty. ASU 2014-11 requires entities to disclose certain information about transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements. In addition, ASU 2014-11 requires disclosures related to collateral, remaining contractual term and of the potential risks associated with repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions and repurchase-to-maturity transactions. ASU 2014-11 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2015 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2015-05 - Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. ASU 2015-05 provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The new guidance does not change the accounting for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. ASU No. 2015-05 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2015-05 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions and may describe future plans, strategies and expectations of The Community Financial Corporation (the “Company”) and Community Bank of the Chesapeake (the “Bank”). These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions.

The Company and the Bank’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, national and regional economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality and composition of the loan and investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in the Company and the Bank’s market area, changes in real estate market values in the Company and the Bank’s market area and changes in relevant accounting principles and guidelines. Additional factors that may affect our results are discussed in Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “Form 10-K”) that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that involve significant judgments and uncertainties and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company considers its determination of the allowance for loan losses, the determination of other-than-temporarily impaired securities, the valuation of foreclosed real estate and the valuation of deferred tax assets to be critical accounting policies.

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the general practices of the United States banking industry. 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.

Estimates, assumptions and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available. When these sources are not available, management makes estimates based upon what it considers to be the best available information.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan loss balance is an estimate based upon management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio. The allowance is comprised of a specific and a general component. The specific component consists of management’s evaluation of certain classified and non-accrual loans and their underlying collateral. Management assesses the ability of the borrower to repay the loan based upon all information available. Loans are examined to determine a specific allowance based upon the borrower’s payment history, economic conditions specific to the loan or borrower and other factors that would impact the borrower’s ability to repay the loan on its contractual basis. Depending on the assessment of the borrower’s ability to pay and the type, condition and value of collateral, management will establish an allowance amount specific to the loan.

Management uses a risk scale to assign grades to commercial real estate, construction and land development, commercial loans and commercial equipment loans. Commercial loan relationships with an aggregate exposure to the Bank of $750,000 or greater are risk rated. Residential first mortgages, home equity and second mortgages and consumer loans are monitored on an ongoing basis based on borrower payment history. Consumer loans and residential real estate loans are classified as unrated unless they are part of a larger commercial relationship that requires grading or are troubled debt restructures or nonperforming loans with an Other Assets Especially Mentioned or higher risk rating due to a delinquent payment history.

The Company’s commercial loan portfolio is periodically reviewed by regulators and independent consultants engaged by management.

In establishing the general component of the allowance, management analyzes non-impaired loans in the portfolio including changes in the amount and type of loans. This analysis reviews trends by portfolio segment in charge-offs, delinquency, classified loans, loan concentrations and the rate of portfolio segment growth. Qualitative factors also include an assessment of the current regulatory environment, the quality of credit administration and loan portfolio management and national and local economic trends. Based upon this analysis a loss factor is applied to each loan category and the Bank adjusts the loan loss allowance by increasing or decreasing the provision for loan losses.

Management has significant discretion in making the judgments inherent in the determination of the allowance for loan losses, including the valuation of collateral, assessing a borrower’s prospects of repayment and in establishing loss factors on the general component of the allowance. Changes in loss factors have a direct impact on the amount of the provision and on net income. Errors in management’s assessment of the global factors and their impact on the portfolio could result in the allowance not being adequate to cover losses in the portfolio, and may result in additional provisions. An increase or decrease in the allowance could result in a charge or credit to income before income taxes that materially impacts earnings. For additional information regarding the allowance for loan losses, refer to Notes 1 and 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements as presented in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the discussion under the caption “Provision for Loan Losses” below.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment (“OTTI”)

Debt securities are evaluated quarterly to determine whether a decline in their value is other-than-temporary. The term “other-than-temporary” is not necessarily intended to indicate a permanent decline in value. It means that the prospects for near-term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support fair values equal to, or greater than, the carrying value of the investment. Accounting guidance indicates that the amount of other-than-temporary impairment that is recognized through earnings for debt securities is determined by comparing the present value of the expected cash flows to the amortized cost of the security. The discount rate used to determine the credit loss is the expected book yield on the security.

For additional information regarding the evaluation of OTTI, refer to Notes 1 and 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements as presented in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”)

The Company maintains a valuation allowance on its other real estate owned. As with the allowance for loan losses, the valuation allowance on OREO is based on FASB ASC 450 “Contingencies,” as well as the accounting guidance on impairment of long-lived assets. These statements require that the Company establish a valuation allowance when it has determined that the carrying amount of a foreclosed asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value of a foreclosed asset is measured by the cash flows expected to be realized from its subsequent disposition. These cash flows are reduced for the costs of selling or otherwise disposing of the asset.

In estimating the cash flows from the sale of OREO, management must make significant assumptions regarding the timing and amount of cash flows. For example, in cases where the real estate acquired is undeveloped land, management must gather the best available evidence regarding the market value of the property, including appraisals, cost estimates of development and broker opinions. Due to the highly subjective nature of this evidence, as well as the limited market, long time periods involved and substantial risks, cash flow estimates are highly subjective and subject to change. Errors regarding any aspect of the costs or proceeds of developing, selling or otherwise disposing of foreclosed real estate could result in the allowance being inadequate to reduce carrying costs to fair value and may require an additional provision for valuation allowances.

Deferred Tax Assets

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. FASB ASC 740 requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company periodically evaluates the ability of the Company to realize the value of its deferred tax assets. If the Company were to determine that it was not more likely than not that the Company would realize the full amount of the deferred tax assets, it would establish a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of the deferred tax asset to the amount it believes would be realized. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the Company’s forecast of future taxable income and available tax-planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets.

Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income might affect the ultimate realization of the net deferred tax assets. Factors that may affect the Company’s ability to achieve sufficient forecasted taxable income include, but are not limited to, the following: increased competition, a decline in net interest margin, a loss of market share, decreased demand for financial services and national and regional economic conditions.

The Company’s provision for income taxes and the determination of the resulting deferred tax assets and liabilities involve a significant amount of management judgment and are based on the best information available at the time. The Company operates within federal and state taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. For additional information regarding the deferred tax assets, refer to Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

OVERVIEW

Community Bank of the Chesapeake (the “Bank”) is headquartered in Southern Maryland with branches located in Maryland and Virginia. The Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Community Financial Corporation. The Bank conducts business through its main office in Waldorf, Maryland, and 11 branch offices in Waldorf, Bryans Road, Dunkirk, Leonardtown, La Plata, Charlotte Hall, Prince Frederick, Lusby and California, Maryland; and King George and Fredericksburg, Virginia. The Company opened the branch in Fredericksburg, Virginia in July 2014. The Company plans to open a second full-service branch in downtown Fredericksburg in early 2016. In addition, the Company maintains five commercial loan production offices (“LPOs”) in La Plata, Prince Frederick, Leonardtown and Annapolis, Maryland; and Fredericksburg, Virginia. The Leonardtown and Fredericksburg LPOs are co-located with branches.

The Bank opened its LPO in Fredericksburg, Virginia during August 2013. The Fredericksburg Virginia area market is comparable in size to our legacy Southern Maryland footprint. During the second quarter of 2014, we continued to execute the Bank’s growth strategy and added seasoned lenders and support staff to expand into the city of Annapolis and surrounding Anne Arundel County. We opened the Annapolis LPO in October 2014. We are optimistic that our returns on these investments will continue to increase shareholder value during 2015.

The Bank has increased assets through loan production. The Bank believes that its ability to offer fast, flexible, local decision-making will continue to attract significant new business relationships. The Bank focuses its business generation efforts on targeting small and medium sized commercial businesses with revenues between $5.0 million and $35.0 million as well as local municipal agencies and not-for-profits. The Bank’s marketing is also directed towards increasing its balances of transaction deposit accounts. The Bank believes that increases in these account types will lessen the Bank’s dependence on higher-cost funding, such as certificates of deposit and borrowings. Although management believes that this strategy will increase financial performance over time, increasing the balances of certain products, such as commercial lending and transaction accounts, may also increase the Bank’s noninterest expense. The Bank recognizes that certain lending and deposit products increase the possibility of losses from credit and other risks.

On February 6, 2015, the Company issued $23.0 million of unsecured 6.25% fixed to floating rate subordinated notes due 2025. On February 13, 2015, the Company used proceeds of the offering to redeem all $20 million of the Company’s outstanding preferred stock issued under the Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”) program. The subordinated notes qualify as Tier 2 regulatory capital and replaced SBLF Tier 1 capital. The balance of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, contributing capital to the Bank, supporting organic growth, possible acquisitions of branches or other financial institutions should attractive acquisition opportunities arise and the payment of dividends.

The Company has analyzed the costs and benefits regarding continuing its residential mortgage origination operations in the current regulatory environment. Due to rapidly increasing compliance costs and risks associated with the origination of residential mortgages, the Bank discontinued originating residential loans in April 2015. The Bank has established third party sources to fund its residential whole loan portfolio. The third party sources will allow the Company to maintain a well-diversified residential portfolio while addressing the credit needs in the communities we serve.

Economy

The U.S. economy grew slowly throughout 2013 and 2014. Beginning in 2012, local real estate values stabilized and housing prices began to recover. However, uncertainty for small and medium size businesses has lessened the demand for lending. The impact of slower economic growth on the Southern Maryland economy has been moderated by the presence of federal government agencies and defense facilities, but the ongoing possibility of large cuts to the defense budget has hampered economic expansion. The Bank’s market expansion has enabled the Company to grow the loan portfolio in the present environment. Even through the difficult economic environment, the Bank’s capital levels and asset quality have remained strong.

For additional information regarding the local economy and its impact on the Company’s business refer to the Business Section in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 under the caption “Market Area” (Part I. Item 1. Business Section – Market Area).

^(a)Non-accrual loans include all loans that are 90 days or more delinquent and loans that are non-accrual due to the operating results or cash flows of a customer. Non-accrual loans can include loans that are current with all loan payments. Interest and principal are recognized on a cash-basis in accordance with the Bank's policy if the loans are not impaired or there is no impairment.

^(b)At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Bank had total TDRs of $18.7 million and $18.1 million, respectively, with two TDR relationships totaling $4.8 million and $4.9 million, respectively, in non-accrual status. One TDR customer relationship of $3.8 million dollars has terms that defer the payment of principal and interest for a period of time. These loans will be classified as non-accrual loans during the entire concession period. When the customer is current and paying down the loans, the arrangement will be reported as TDRs in accordance with the Bank's ALLL policy. Additionally at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Bank had one TDR loan of $1.0 million that is greater than 90 days delinquent. These loans are classified as non-accrual loans for the calculation of financial ratios.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 AND 2014

Earnings Summary

Consolidated net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased $427,000, or 33.2%, to $1.7 million or $0.37 per common share (diluted) compared to $1.3 million or $0.28 per common share (diluted) for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net income available to common shareholders was attributable to was attributable to increased net interest income of $463,000 and noninterest income of $107,000 and decreases in the provision for loan losses of $171,000 and preferred stock dividends of $50,000. These increases to net income were partially offset by increased noninterest expense of $121,000 and income tax expense of $244,000.

The Company’s return on average assets was 0.63% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 0.53% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The Company’s return on average common stockholders' equity was 6.88% compared to 5.53% for the same comparative period.

Net Interest Income

The primary component of the Company’s net income is its net interest income, which is the difference between income earned on assets and interest paid on the deposits and borrowings used to fund them. Net interest income is affected by the difference between the yields earned on the Company’s interest-earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the relative amounts of such assets and liabilities. Net interest income, divided by average interest-earning assets, represents the Company’s net interest margin.

Net interest income increased to $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The net interest margin was 3.60% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, a three basis point decrease from 3.63% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The slight decrease in net interest margin was largely the result of additional interest expense related to the $23.0 million of subordinated debt issued during the first quarter of 2015 and to a lesser degree a decrease in loan yields. The decreases to net interest margin were partially offset by the positive impact from the increase in the average balance of loans as a percentage of total assets and a continued decrease in the cost of deposit funding compared to the same period of 2014.

The following table shows the components of net interest income and the dollar and percentage changes for the periods presented.

Net Interest Income (NII)	$	9,033	$	8,570	$	463			5.4	%

Interest and dividend income increased by $681,000 to $10.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to increased income from the growth in the average balance of loans. Interest and dividend income increased $764,000 due to growth of $64.5 million in the average balance of loans from $810.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $874.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. These increases to interest income were partially offset by decreased income from reduced yields on loans and smaller average investment balances. Average loan yields declined four basis points from 4.78% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to 4.74% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, which resulted in a decrease of $76,000. Interest and dividend income was further reduced $12,000 as average interest-earning investment balances decreased $2.9 million from $132.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $129.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Interest expense increased $218,000 to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014 due primarily to an increase in interest expense related to the $23.0 million 6.25% subordinated notes issued during the first quarter of 2015. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, interest expense increased $379,000 due to the subordinated note issuance and larger short-term debt balances, and $27,000 due to increased average balances of interest-bearing transaction deposit accounts compared to the same quarter of 2014. Additionally, interest expense increased $11,000 on savings and money market accounts, as rates increased modestly from 0.10% and 0.26%, respectively, to 0.11% and 0.27%, respectively for the second quarter of 2015. The average rate paid on debt, which includes long-term debt, trust preferred junior subordinated debentures (“TRUPS”), subordinated notes, and short-term borrowings, increased from 2.35% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to 2.80% for the comparable period in 2015. The increases to interest expense were partially offset by reductions of $51,000 due to lower average balances of long-term debt and time deposits and $149,000 due to decreases in rates paid on time deposits and long-term debt.

The issuance of subordinated debt was the primary reason the average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities increased four basis points from 0.85% for the second quarter of 2014 to 0.89% for the second quarter of 2015. However, the Company continued to make significant progress in reducing overall deposit costs, which decreased nine basis points from 0.58% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to 0.49% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The continued change in deposit funding contributed to the decline in the costs of deposits. Average transaction deposits, which include savings, money market, interest-bearing demand and non-interest bearing demand accounts, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased $61.4 million or 14.9% to $474.4 million compared to $413.0 million for the comparable period in 2014. The increase in average transaction deposits included growth in average noninterest bearing demand deposits of $19.0 million from $96.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $115.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Average transaction accounts as a percentage of total deposits increased from 51.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to 55.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The Company has continued progress in changing our deposit mix to be less dependent on time deposits. In the current year, the progress in continuing to add transaction deposits has mitigated the impact of the increased interest expense associated with the $23.0 million 6.25% subordinated notes issued in the first quarter of 2015.

The following table presents information on average balances and rates for deposits.

Noninterest income increased by $107,000 to $962,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $855,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Noninterest income increased primarily due to increases in service charges and bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”). The Bank made an additional investment of $7.0 million in BOLI during the third quarter of 2014. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in gains on loans held for sale of $69,000 that reflected the Bank’s exit from residential originations during the second quarter.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, noninterest expense increased 1.8%, or $121,000, to $6.9 million from $6.8 million for the comparable period in 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the OREO expenses and a moderate increase in operating expenses of 2.1%, partially offset by a moderate decrease in compensation and benefits. The Company controlled the growth of salary and benefit costs by restructuring our branch organization and better aligning incentives with Company performance. Employee compensation and operating expenses have grown at greater than historical rates over the last several years due to the Company’s expanding footprint and the increased cost of compliance and regulation. The increased costs of compliance and regulation have particularly impacted salary and benefits, data processing and professional fees. The Company’s noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets was 2.56% for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. Prior to 2013, the Company was consistently below 2.50%. The Company is working to slow the growth of noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets based on current expansion plans and a greater ability to increase efficiencies as a result of our larger asset size. The Company’s efficiency ratio and noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were 68.91% and 2.54%, respectively, compared to 71.80% and 2.67%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Income Tax Expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded income tax expense of $1.0 million compared to $760,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 36.98% and 36.28%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was the result of tax-exempt income being relatively lower to total income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 AND 2014

Earnings Summary

Consolidated net income available to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased $554,000, or 18.7%, to $3.5 million or $0.75 per common share (diluted) compared to $3.0 million or $0.63 per common share (diluted) for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net income available to common shareholders was attributable to increased net interest income of $1.1 million and noninterest income of $174,000 and decreases in the provision for loan losses of $197,000 and preferred stock dividends of $77,000. These increases to net income were partially offset by increased noninterest expense of $733,000 and income tax expense of $253,000.

The Company’s return on average assets was 0.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 0.61% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company’s return on average common stockholders' equity was 7.10% compared to 6.38% for the same comparative period.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased to $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $17.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The net interest margin was 3.63% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, a one basis point increase from 3.62% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The slight increase in net interest margin was largely the result of the positive impact of the increase in the average balance of loans as a percentage of total assets and a continued decrease in the cost of deposit funding compared to the same period of 2014. The increases to net interest margin were partially offset by additional interest expense related to the $23.0 million 6.25% subordinated notes issued during the first quarter of 2015 and, to a lesser degree, a decrease in loan yields.

The following table shows the components of net interest income and the dollar and percentage changes for the periods presented.

Net Interest Income (NII)	$	18,096	$	17,004	$	1,092			6.4	%

Interest and dividend income increased by $1.3 million to $21.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $20.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to increased income from the growth in the average balance of loans. Interest and dividend income increased $1.4 million due to growth of $60.9 million in the average balance of loans from $803.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $864.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. These increases to interest income were partially offset by decreased income from reduced yields on loans and smaller average investment balances. Average loan yields declined four basis points from 4.80% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 4.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, which resulted in a decrease in interest income of $166,000. Interest and dividend income was further reduced $44,000 as average interest-earning investment balances decreased $5.3 million from $137.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $131.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Interest expense increased $142,000 to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 due primarily to an increase in interest expense related to the $23.0 million 6.25% subordinated notes issued during the first quarter of 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, interest expense increased $584,000 due to the subordinated note issuance and larger short-term debt balances and $48,000 due to increased average balances of interest-bearing transaction deposit accounts compared to the same six months of 2014. The increases to interest expense were partially offset by reductions of $76,000 due to lower average balances of long-term debt and time deposits and $414,000 due to decreases in rates paid on transaction deposits, time deposits and long-term debt. As a result of the additional subordinated debt of $23.0 million at 6.25%, the average rate paid on debt, which includes long-term debt, TRUPS, subordinated notes, and short-term borrowings, increased from 2.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 2.63% for the comparable period in 2015.

The average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased two basis points from 0.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 0.84% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company continued to make significant progress in reducing overall deposit costs, which declined 12 basis points from 0.60% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 0.48% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The continued change in the deposit funding mix contributed to the decline in the costs of deposits. Average transaction deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased $59.7 million or 14.7% to $466.6 million compared to $406.9 million for the comparable period in 2014. The increase in average transaction deposits included growth in average noninterest bearing demand deposits of $20.2 million, or 21.5%, from $93.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $114.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Average transaction accounts as a percentage of total deposits increased from 51.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 55.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company has continued progress in changing the deposit mix to become less dependent on time deposits. In the current year the progress in continuing to add transaction deposits has mitigated some of the impact of the increased interest expense associated with the $23.0 million 6.25% subordinated notes issued in the first quarter of 2015.

Noninterest income increased by $174,000 to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Noninterest income increased primarily due to increases in service charges and BOLI. The Bank made an additional investment of $7.0 million in BOLI during the third quarter of 2014. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in gains on loans held for sale which reflected the Bank’s exit from residential originations during the second quarter of 2015. Additionally miscellaneous fees for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased $44,000 compared to the same period in 2014.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, noninterest expense increased 5.6%, or $733,000, to $13.8 million from $13.1 million for the comparable period in 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses and OREO valuation allowance and expenses. Compensation and benefits remained flat compared to the same period in the prior year. The Company controlled the growth of salary and benefit costs by restructuring our branch organization and better aligning incentives with Company performance. Employee compensation and operating expenses have grown at greater than historical rates over the last several years due to the Company’s expanding footprint and the increased cost of compliance and regulation. The increased costs of compliance and regulation have particularly impacted salary and benefits, data processing and professional fees. As previously disclosed, the Company is working to slow the growth of noninterest expenses as a percentage of average assets based on current expansion plans and a greater ability to increase efficiencies as a result of our larger asset size. The Company’s efficiency ratio and noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were 69.09% and 2.57%, respectively, compared to 69.84% and 2.60%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Income Tax Expense

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.1 million compared to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company’s effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 37.14% and 37.50%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was the result of tax-exempt income being relatively higher to total income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2015 AND DECEMBER 31, 2014

Assets

Total assets at June 30, 2015 of $1.13 billion increased $43.9 million compared to total assets of $1.08 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase in total assets was primarily attributable to growth in cash and loans partially offset by declines in securities. The following table shows the Company’s assets and the dollar and percentage changes for the periods presented.

The differences in allocations between the cash and investment categories reflect operational needs. Net loans increased $23.5 million from $862.4 million at December 31, 2014 to $885.9 million at June 30, 2015, due primarily to increases in loans for commercial real estate, partially offset by decreases in commercial loans and residential loans. The following is a breakdown of the Company’s loan portfolio at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The allowance for loan losses was 0.98% of gross loans at June 30, 2015 and 0.97% at December 31, 2014. There was a decrease in the general component of the allowance due to changes to general allowance factors that reflect changes in historical loss, delinquency rates and general economic conditions. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on a periodic evaluation of the portfolio with consideration given to: overall loss experience; current economic conditions; size, growth and composition of the loan portfolio; financial condition of the borrowers; current appraised values of underlying collateral and other relevant factors that, in management’s judgment, warrant recognition in determining an adequate allowance. The specific allowance is based on management’s estimate of realizable value for particular loans. Management believes that the allowance is adequate.

The Bank decreased its general allowance as a percentage of gross loans 11 basis points from 0.92% at December 31, 2014 to 0.81% at June 30, 2015. The following is a breakdown of the Company’s general and specific allowances as a percentage of gross loans at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

(dollar in thousands)	June 30, 2015		% of Gross Loans			December 31, 2014		% of Gross Loans

General Allowance	$	7,284		0.81	%	$	8,030		0.92	%
Specific Allowance		1,473		0.16	%		451		0.05	%
Total Allowance	$	8,757		0.98	%	$	8,481		0.97	%

The most important weighted factor in the Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology is the charge-off history of the loan portfolio. The historical loss experience factor is tracked over various time horizons for each portfolio segment. It is weighted as the most important factor of the general component of the allowance and has decreased as the Bank’s charge-off history has improved. The following table provides a five-year trend and the current quarter and comparable quarter of the prior year of net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans.

	Six Months Ended June 30,						Years Ended December 31,

Non-accrual loans (90 days or greater delinquent and non-accrual only loans) increased $2.8 million from $10.3 million or 1.18% of total loans at December 31, 2014 to $13.1 million or 1.46% of total loans at June 30, 2015. Non-accrual only loans are loans classified as non-accrual due to customer operating results or payment history. In accordance with the Company’s policy, interest income is recognized on a cash basis for these loans. There were no non-accrual only loans at June 30, 2015 or at December 31, 2014. The Bank had 37 non-accrual loans at June 30, 2015 compared to 31 non-accrual loans at December 31, 2014. Non-accrual loans at June 30, 2015 included $10.4 million, or 80% of non-accrual loans, attributed to 18 loans representing five customer relationships classified as substandard. Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2014 included $8.8 million, or 86% of nonperforming loans, attributed to 16 loans representing six customer relationships classified as substandard. Of these loans at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, four loans totaling $3.8 and $3.9 million, respectively, represented a stalled residential development project. During the second quarter of 2014, the Bank deferred the collection of principal and interest to enable the project to use available funds to build units and complete the project. The stalled development project loans are considered both TDRs and non-accrual loans. Additionally at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Bank had one TDR commercial real estate loan of $1.0 million that is greater than 90 days delinquent. These loans are classified solely as non-accrual loans for the calculation of financial ratios.

The non-accrual balance of $13.1 million as of June 30, 2015 increased $4.7 million from the first quarter March 31, 2015 balance of $8.4 million due primarily to the addition of two classified customer relationships (eight loans) totaling $3.6 million where the Bank proactively requested the customers to seek other financing as these loans approached scheduled renewal dates. The Bank is in a strong collateral position for both of these relationships.

Loan delinquency (90 days or greater delinquent and 31-89 days delinquent) increased $3.1 million from $12.1 million, or 1.39% of loans, at December 31, 2014 to $15.2 million, or 1.70% of loans, at June 30, 2015. Loans 31-89 days delinquent increased $325,000 from $1.8 million, or 0.21% of total loans, at December 31, 2014 to $2.1 million, or 0.24% of total loans, at June 30, 2015.

At June 30, 2015, the Bank had 23 accruing TDRs totaling $13.9 million compared to 19 accruing TDRs totaling $13.2 million as of December 31, 2014. The Bank added six and 15 TDRs totaling $2.3 million and $12.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively. Two TDRs totaling $1.6 million were disposed of during the second quarter of 2015 due to a payoff and refinancing by another lender. The Bank had specific reserves of $447,000 on seven TDRs totaling $3.0 million at June 30, 2015 and $251,000 on five TDRs totaling $2.5 million at December 31, 2014.

The following is a breakdown by loan classification of the Company’s TDRs at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

	June 30, 2015						December 31, 2014

The Bank has been working in an increasingly assertive matter to reduce classified loans by using approaches that maximize the Bank’s contractual rights with each individual customer relationship. The objective is to move off the balance sheet non-performing or substandard credits that are not likely to become performing or passing credits in a reasonable timeframe. This is being accomplished by encouraging existing classified customers to seek and obtain financing with other lenders or by the Bank enforcing its contractual rights. Management believes this strategy is in the best long-term interest of the Bank. Non-accrual loans and OREO to total assets increased 24 basis points from 1.49% at December 31, 2014 to 1.73% at June 30, 2015. Non-accrual loans, OREO and TDRs to total assets increased 25 basis points from 2.71% at December 31, 2014 to 2.96% at June 30, 2015.

Classified loans of the commercial portfolio, which include commercial real estate, commercial, commercial equipment and construction and land development loans decreased from $62.8 million at December 31, 2011 to $36.0 million at June 30, 2015 from $44.5 million at December 31, 2014 (see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Total classified loans decreased $9.3 million from $46.7 million at December 31, 2014 to $37.4 million at June 30, 2015.

Management considers classified assets to be an important measure of asset quality. Classified assets have been trending down as a percentage of total assets and in total dollars from a high point of 8.45% of total assets or $81.9 million at September 30, 2011 to 4.01% of total assets or $45.1 million at June 30, 2015. Classified assets have decreased $8.9 million, or 16.5%, from $54.0 million at December 31, 2014 to $45.1 million at June 30, 2015. The following is a breakdown of the Company’s classified and special mention assets at June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively:

The OREO balance was $6.4 million at June 30, 2015, an increase of $539,000 compared to $5.9 million at December 31, 2014. This increase consisted of additions of $1.6 million partially offset by valuation allowances of $374,000 to adjust properties to current appraised values and $643,000 in disposals. OREO carrying amounts reflect management’s estimate of the realizable value of these properties incorporating current appraised values, local real estate market conditions and related costs.

At June 30, 2015, 99%, or $118.0 million of the asset-backed securities portfolio was rated AAA by Standard & Poor’s or the equivalent credit rating from another major rating agency compared to 99% or $119.8 million at December 31, 2014. Debt securities are evaluated quarterly to determine whether a decline in their value is OTTI. No OTTI charge was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively. Classified securities decreased $65,000 from $1.4 million at December 31, 2014 to $1.3 million at June 30, 2015.

Gross unrealized losses on HTM and AFS securities decreased from $1.6 million at December 31, 2014 to $1.4 million (see Note 10 in Consolidated Financial Statements). Gross unrealized losses at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 for AFS securities were $673,000 and $830,000, respectively, of amortized cost of $38.9 million and $42.6 million, respectively. Gross unrealized losses at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 for HTM securities were $763,000 and $737,000 of amortized cost of $86.0 million and $84.5 million, respectively. The change in unrealized losses was the result of changes in long-term interest rates, while credit risks remained stable. The Bank holds over 95% of its AFS and HTM securities as asset-backed securities of GSEs or U.S. government obligations. The Company intends to, and has the ability to, hold both AFS and HTM securities with unrealized losses until they mature, at which time the Company will receive full value for the securities. The Company believes that the AFS and HTM securities with unrealized losses will either recover in market value or be paid off as agreed.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits increased by 3.6%, or $31.0 million during the first six months of 2015 to $900.4 million at June 30, 2015 compared to $869.4 million at December 31, 2014. Between 2012 and 2014, the Bank increased transaction deposits, including noninterest bearing deposits, to lower its overall cost of funds. Average transaction deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased $59.8 million or 14.7% to $466.6 million compared to $406.9 million for the comparable period in 2014; of this average increase $20.2 million was attributable to non-interest bearing demand accounts. Transaction deposits have increased from 44.9% of total deposits at December 31, 2011 to 56.8% of total deposits at June 30, 2015.

Details of the Company’s deposit portfolio at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are presented below:

The Bank uses both traditional brokered deposits and reciprocal brokered deposits. Traditional brokered deposits at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $60.5 million and $41.7 million, respectively. Reciprocal brokered deposits at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $51.1 million and $41.6 million, respectively. The reciprocal brokered deposits have many characteristics of core deposits and are used to maximize FDIC insurance available to our customers.

Long-term debt and short-term borrowings increased $6.0 million from $76.7 million at December 31, 2014 to $82.7 million at June 30, 2015. During the first six months of 2015, the Company paid off a net of $4.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) long-term debt reducing the balance to $70.6 million at June 30, 2015. Short-term borrowings increased $10.0 million to $12.0 million at June 30, 2015, all of which were for terms less than six months. The Bank uses brokered deposits and other wholesale funding to supplement funding when loan growth exceeds core deposit growth and for asset-liability management purposes.

On February 6, 2015, the Company issued $23.0 million of unsecured 6.25% fixed to floating rate subordinated notes due 2025 (“subordinated notes”). On February 13, 2015, the Company used proceeds of the offering to redeem all $20 million of the Company’s outstanding preferred stock issued under the Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”) program. The subordinated notes qualify as Tier 2 regulatory capital and replaced SBLF Tier 1 capital. The balance of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, contributing capital to Community Bank of the Chesapeake, supporting organic growth, possible acquisitions of branches or other financial institutions should attractive acquisition opportunities arise and the payment of dividends. The subordinated notes will increase the Company’s cost of funds during 2015. The Company’s decision to move forward with the transaction during 2015 was based on a scheduled increase in the after-tax SBLF dividend rate to 9% in March 2016, a receptive market for Community Banks to raise subordinated debt and management’s belief that a simplified capital structure will improve the Company’s profitability over time.

Stockholders’ Equity

The following table shows the Company’s equity and the dollar and percentage changes for the periods presented.

Total Stockholders' Equity	$	99,084		$	116,559		$	(17,475	)		(15.0	)%

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, stockholders’ equity decreased $17.5 million to $99.1 million. The decrease in stockholders’ equity was due to the $20.0 million payoff of SBLF preferred stock as described previously, quarterly common dividends paid of $922,000, quarterly preferred stock dividends paid of $73,000 and repurchases of common stock of $328,000. These decreases to capital were partially offset increases to equity from net income of $3.5 million, net stock related activities related to stock-based compensation and the exercise of options of $238,000 and a current year decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $78,000. Increases in common stockholders' equity to $99.1 million at June 30, 2015 resulted in a book value of $21.01 per common share. The Company remains well-capitalized at June 30, 2015 with a Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio of 10.26%.

Accumulated other comprehensive losses decreased during the first six months of 2015 due to market valuation adjustments of the Company’s AFS asset-backed securities portfolio as a result of decreases in long-term interest rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has no business other than holding the stock of the Bank and does not currently have any material funding requirements, except for the payment of dividends on preferred stock, and the payment of interest on subordinated debentures.

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and dividends received from the Bank. The Bank is subject to various regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends.

The Bank’s principal sources of funds for investment and operations are net income, deposits, sales of loans, borrowings, principal and interest payments on loans, principal and interest received on investment securities and proceeds from the maturity and sale of investment securities. Its principal funding commitments are for the origination or purchase of loans, the purchase of securities and the payment of maturing deposits. Deposits are considered the primary source of funds supporting the Bank’s lending and investment activities. The Bank also uses borrowings from the FHLB of Atlanta to supplement deposits. The amount of FHLB advances available to the Bank is limited to the lower of 30% of Bank assets or the amount supportable by eligible collateral including FHLB stock, loans and securities. In addition, the Bank has established lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank and commercial banks.

For additional information on these agreements, including collateral, see Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements as presented in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The Bank’s most liquid assets are cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold. The levels of such assets are dependent on the Bank’s operating, financing and investment activities at any given time. The variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced by deposit flows and anticipated future deposit flows.

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2015 totaled $41.9 million, an increase of $20.5 million, or 96.2%, from the December 31, 2014 total of $21.4 million. The increase in cash was primarily due to an increase in deposits from the beginning of the year. Changes to the level of cash and cash equivalents have minimal impact on operational needs as the Bank has substantial sources of funds available from other sources.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, all financing activities provided $38.6 million in cash compared to $7.5 million in cash for the same period in 2014. The Bank was provided $31.1 million more cash due to financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 primarily due to an increase in deposits of $33.8 million and a net increase of $3.0 million to cash for the subordinated debt raise of $23.0 million offset by the SBLF payoff of $20 million. These increases to cash were partially offset by a net decrease in long-term debt and short-term borrowings of $5.2 million and the repurchase of common stock of $0.5 million for the same comparable period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, all investing activities used $24.5 million in cash compared to $25.4 million in cash used for the same period in 2014. The reduction in cash used of $0.9 million was the result of an increase in net proceeds from loans being partially offset by a net decrease in proceeds received for securities transactions and the sale of OREO and an increase for the purchase of equipment. The principal collected on loans increased $20.3 million from $97.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $117.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Cash was used to fund additional loans as loans originated or acquired increased $6.0 million from $137.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $143.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Net proceeds from securities transactions decreased cash $12.2 million compared to the prior year due primarily to a higher dollar volume of security sales in the first six months of 2014 compared to the first six months of 2015 and the purchase of more securities in the six months ended June 30, 2015. Other activity consisted of an increase in purchases (cash used) of premises and equipment of $0.7 million and a decrease in proceeds received (cash provided) from the sale of OREO and other assets of $0.5 million.

Operating activities provided cash of $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $4.7 million of cash provided for the same period of 2014. Cash increased by $1.7 million primarily due an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities and net income and a reduction in loans originated for sale for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2014. These increases in cash were partially offset by decreases in deferred tax assets.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Interest rate risk is defined as the exposure to changes in net interest income and capital that arises from movements in interest rates. Depending on the composition of the balance sheet, increasing or decreasing interest rates can negatively affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

The Company measures interest rate risk over the short and long term. The Company measures interest rate risk as the change in net interest income (“NII’) caused by a change in interest rates over twelve and twenty-four months. The Company’s NII simulations provide information about short-term interest rate risk exposure. The Company also measures interest rate risk by measuring changes in the values of assets and liabilities due to changes in interest rates. The economic value of equity (“EVE”) is defined as the present value of future cash flows from existing assets, minus the present value of future cash flows from existing liabilities. EVE simulations reflect the interest rate sensitivity of assets and liabilities over a longer time period, considering the maturities, average life and duration of all balance sheet accounts.

The Board of Directors has established an interest rate risk policy, which is administered by the Bank’s Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”). The policy establishes limits on risk, which are quantitative measures of the percentage change in NII and EVE resulting from changes in interest rates. Both NII and EVE simulations assist in identifying, measuring, monitoring and controlling interest rate risk and are used by management and the ALCO Committee to ensure that interest rate risk exposure will be maintained within Board policy guidelines. The ALCO Committee reports quarterly to the Board of Directors. Mitigating strategies are used to maintain interest rate risk within established limits.

The Company’s interest rate risk (“IRR”) model uses assumptions which include factors such as call features, prepayment options and interest rate caps and floors included in investment and loan portfolio contracts. Additionally, the IRR model estimates the lives and interest rate sensitivity of the Company’s non-maturity deposits. These assumptions have a significant effect on model results. The assumptions are developed primarily based upon historical behavior of Bank customers. The Company also considers industry and regional data in developing IRR model assumptions. There are inherent limitations in the Company’s IRR model and underlying assumptions. When interest rates change, actual movements of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, loan prepayments, and withdrawals of time and other deposits, may deviate significantly from assumptions used in the model.

The Company prepares a current base case and several alternative simulations at least quarterly. Current interest rates are shocked by +/- 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points (“bp”). The Company may elect not to use particular scenarios that it determines are impractical in a current rate environment. It is management’s goal to manage the portfolios of the Bank so that net interest income at risk over a twelve-month and twenty-four month period and the economic value of equity at risk do not exceed policy guidelines at the various interest rate shock levels.

Measures of net interest income at risk produced by simulation analysis are indicators of an institution’s short-term performance in alternative rate environments. The below schedule estimates the changes in net interest income over a twelve month period for parallel rate shocks:

Estimated Changes in Net Interest Income
Change in Interest Rates:	+ 400 bp		+ 300 bp		+ 200 bp		+ 100 bp		- 100 bp		- 200 bp		- 300 bp		- 400 bp
Policy Limit	(40.00	)%	(30.00	)%	(20.00	)%	(10.00	)%	(10.00	)%	(20.00	)%	(30.00	)%	(40.00	)%

June 30, 2015	(1.53	)%	(1.77	)%	(2.07	)%	(1.79	)%	0.53	%	(0.98	)%	N/A		N/A

Measures of equity value at risk indicate the ongoing economic value of the Company by considering the effects of changes in interest rates on all of the Company’s cash flows, and by discounting the cash flows to estimate the present value of assets and liabilities. The below schedule estimates the changes in the economic value of equity at parallel shocks:

Estimated Changes in Economic Value of Equity (EVE)
Change in Interest Rates:	+ 400 bp		+ 300 bp		+ 200 bp		+ 100 bp		- 100 bp		- 200 bp		- 300 bp		- 400 bp
Policy Limit	(40.00	)%	(30.00	)%	(20.00	)%	(10.00	)%	(10.00	)%	(20.00	)%	(30.00	)%	(40.00	)%

June 30, 2015	(7.77	)%	(4.77	)%	(2.01	)%	(0.60	)%	0.36	%	(2.96	)%	N/A		N/A

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management of the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and financial officers as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon certain reasonable assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no reasonable assurance that any design of disclosure controls and procedures will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote, but the Company’s principal executive and financial officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at a reasonable assurance level. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings – The Company is not involved in any pending legal proceedings. The Bank is not involved in any pending legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. Such routine legal proceedings, in the aggregate, are believed by management to be immaterial to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

Item 1A - Risk Factors - In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A- Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

On September 25, 2008, the Company announced a repurchase program (‘’2008 repurchase plan”) under which it would repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding common stock or approximately 147,435 shares. The program will continue until it is completed. On May 4, 2015, the Board of Directors approved a successor repurchase plan (“2015 repurchase plan”) that will commence upon the completion of the 2008 repurchase plan. The 2015 repurchase plan authorizes the repurchase of up to 250,000 shares of outstanding common stock. Once the 2015 repurchase plan begins, the repurchase program will continue until it is completed or terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2015, 49,672 shares were available to be repurchased under the 2008 repurchase program. The following schedule shows the repurchases during the three months ended June 30, 2015.
