Highlight of Business Operations:

Total assets increased $26.0 million to $430.1 million at September 30,

2009 compared to $404.2 million at the end of 2008. The increase was due

primarily to the $9.5 million increase in loans held for sale due to the high

demand for refinancing existing residential loans because of the low interest

rates. Loans increased by $7.8 million or 2.8% to $288.3 million during the

period. Total average interest-earning assets increased $36.5 million during the

period to $397.8 million and were 96.3% of total average assets at September 30,

2009. Total deposits increased by $47.3 million or 16.2% to $339.7 million as of

September 30, 2009 from $292.4 million as of December 31, 2008. Certificate of

deposit accounts increased $44.4 million while non-interest bearing checking and

money market accounts increased $3.3 million and $3.2 million respectively.

These increases were partially offset by a $3.8 million decrease in interest

bearing checking. Stockholders' equity increased 33.0% or $9.0 million to $36.4

million at September 30, 2009. The increase was due primarily to the $9.2

million raised by participation in the U.S. Treasury's Capital Purchase Program

through the sale of Series A Preferred Stock, net income of $91,000, all of

which was partially offset by Preferred Stock dividends paid of $233,000, Common

Stock dividends paid of $513,000 and a decrease in accumulated other

comprehensive loss of $481,000. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive

loss was due to the increase in the fair market value of the available for sale

securities partially offset by the decrease in the fair market value of the

effective cash flow hedge.



Carrollton Bancorp reported net income for the first nine months of 2009 of

$91,000 compared to $1.1 million for the comparable period in 2008. Net loss

attributable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2009

was $254,000 ($0.10 loss per diluted shares) compared to net income available to

common shareholder of $1.1 million ($0.42 income per diluted share) for the

prior year period. The Company's provision for loan losses increased $1.3

million to $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The

Company's earning performance in the first nine months of 2008 was impacted by

the $368,000 pretax charge to close the Wilkens drive-thru effective April 30,

2008, partially offset by the $80,000 gain related to the Visa, Inc. initial

public offering that occurred in March 2008. The net interest margin decreased

to 3.45% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from 4.07% in the

comparable period in 2008.



Interest and fee income on loans decreased 1.1% or $155,000 as a result of

the yield on loans declining 90 basis points to 5.87% while average loans

increased $38.9 million to $314.4 million. Total interest decreased 2.8 % or

$460,000. Net interest income decreased 4.0% or $420,000 due to the compression

of the Company's net interest margin to 3.45% for the nine months ended

September 30, 2009 from 4.07% in the comparable period in 2008. Non-interest

income was $5.6 million compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2008, an

increase of $651,000 or 13.2%. This increase was due to the $1.2 million

increase in mortgage banking fees and gains and was partially offset by the

$80,000 decrease in service charges, $181,000 decrease in brokerage commissions,

and the $317,000 decrease in gains on securities sales due to the $247,000

other-than-temporary impairment charges related to the debt securities issued by

financial institutions compared to the one time $80,000 gain related to the

Visa, Inc. initial public offering that occurred in March 2008.



Non-interest expenses were $13.4 million for the first nine months of 2009

compared to $12.9 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of $494,000

or 3.8%. Salaries increased $385,000 due to increased commissions paid primarily

to the loan originators in the mortgage subsidiary. Because of the lower

interest rates, loan originations due to refinancing of residential loans

increased significantly in 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Other

operating expenses increased $754,000 due to the $544,000 increase in the FDIC

insurance premiums for the FDIC special assessment, average deposits increasing

$35.6 million and the one time assessment credit fully utilized as of December

31, 2008. Also, other real estate owned expenses increased $308,000 and various

loan expenses, i.e. appraisals, credit reports, and fees related to collection

of loans increased $152,000. These increases were partially offset by the

$86,000 decrease in employee benefits, primarily medical benefits and the

$60,000 decrease in professional fees due to reimbursement of legal fees from

the insurance company related to a specific claim. In 2009, there was a recovery

of $108,000 of the charges recorded in 2008 for closing the Wilkens drive-thru

due to negotiating a lease buy out from the landlord.
