PART I

Item 1. Description of Business

General

	Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated as a 
Maryland corporation on October 31, 1995.  The Company owns all of the stock 
of two banks.  The Maryland bank is a commercial bank incorporated under the 
laws of the State of Maryland on December 17, 1907.  This bank operates 10 
banking offices in Worcester County with the Bank's main office located in 
Berlin, Maryland.  It is engaged in a general commercial and retail banking 
business serving individuals, businesses, and governmental units in Worcester
County, Maryland and neighboring counties.  The second bank was incorporated
in 1997 but opened late in the second quarter of 1998.  This one-branch bank
offers the same services as the Maryland Bank.

	The Company's holding company structure can assist the banks in maintaining 
their required capital ratios because the Company may, subject to compliance 
with debt guidelines implemented by the Board of Governors of the Federal 
Reserve System (the "Board of Governors" or the "Federal Reserve"), borrow 
money and contribute the proceeds to the banks as primary capital.  The 
holding company structure also permits greater flexibility in issuing stock 
for cash, property, or services and in reorganization transactions.  Moreover, 
subject to certain regulatory limitations, a holding company can purchase of
its own stock, which the banks may not do without regulatory approval.  A 
holding company may also engage in certain nonbanking activities which the Board
of Governors has deemed to be closely related to banking and proper incidents
 to the business of a bank holding company.  These activities include making or
servicing loans and certain types of leases; performing certain data processing
 services; acting as a fiduciary or investment or financial advisor; acting as
a management consultant for other depository institutions; providing courier,
 appraisal, and consumer financial counseling services; providing tax planning
 and preparation services; providing check guaranty and collection agency 
services; engaging in limited real estate investment activities; underwriting,
brokering and selling credit life and disability insurance; engaging in certain
 other limited insurance activities; providing discount brokerage services;
underwriting and dealing in certain government obligations and money market
instruments and providing portfolio investment advice; acting as a futures
commission merchant with respect to certain financial instrument transactions;
providing foreign exchange advisory and transactional services; making invest-
ments in certain corporations for projects designed primarily to promote
community welfare; and owning and operating certain healthy savings and loans
associations.  Although the Company has no present intention of engaging in any
of these services, if circumstances should lead the Company's management to 
believe that there is a need for these services in the bank's marketing areas
and that such activities could be profitably conducted, the management of the 
Company would have the flexibility of commencing these activities upon filing
notice thereof with the Board of Governors.

Location and Service Area

	The Company conducts a general commercial banking industry in its primary 
service areas, emphasizing the banking needs of individuals and small- to 
medium-sized businesses and professional concerns.  The Maryland bank 
operates from ten branches located throughout Worcester County, Maryland 
while the Delaware bank operates from one branch located in Sussex County, 
Delaware.  The Banks draw most of their customer deposits and conduct most 
of their lending transactions from within their primary service areas, which
encompasses Worcester County, Maryland, Sussex County, Delaware and neighboring
counties.

	Both Sussex County, Delaware and Worcester County, Maryland are located 
along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and have experienced growth in 
population in recent years.  The area is growing as both a resort and 
retirement community.   

	The principal components of the economy of the counties are tourism and 
agriculture.  Berlin has a strong component of health-care related 
businesses.  The tourist businesses of Ocean City, Maryland and Bethany, 
Delaware and the health-care facilities in Berlin, Maryland (including 
Berlin Nursing Home and Atlantic General Hospital) are the largest employers 
in the Counties.  The largest industrial employers are Perdue Farms and 
Hudson Farms.


Banking Services

	The banks offer a full range of deposit services that are typically 
available in most banks and savings and loan associations, including 
checking accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts and other time deposits of 
various types, ranging from daily money market accounts to longer-term 
certificates of deposit.  The transaction accounts and time certificates are 
tailored to the banks' principal market areas at rates competitive to those 
offered in the area.  In addition, the banks offer certain retirement account
services, such as Individual Retirements Accounts ("IRAs").  All deposits are
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") up to the
maximum amount allowed by law (generally, $100,000 per depositor subject to
aggregation rules).  The banks solicit these accounts from individuals,
businesses, associations and organizations, and governmental authorities.

	The Company, through its banks, also offers a full range of short- to 
medium-term commercial and personal loans.  Commercial loans include both 
secured and unsecured loans for working capital (including inventory and 
receivables), business expansion (including acquisition of real estate and 
improvements), and purchase of equipment and machinery.  Consumer loans 
include secured and unsecured loans for financing automobiles, home 
improvements, education, and personal investments.  The Company also 
originates mortgage loans and real estate construction and acquisition loans.
 These lending activities are subject to a variety of lending limits imposed
by state and federal law.   Neither bank may make any loans to any director, 
officer, or employee (except for commercial loans to the directors who are not
officers or employees) unless the loans are approved by the Board of Directors 
of the bank.  The Board of Directors must review any such loans every
six months.


	Other bank services include cash management services, safe deposit boxes, 
Travelers checks, direct deposit of payroll and social security checks, and 
automatic drafts for various accounts.  The Company is associated with the 
MAC network of automated teller machines that may be used by Bank customers 
throughout Maryland, Delaware, and other regions.  The Company also offers 
credit card services through a correspondent bank.

Competition

	The Company faces strong competition in all areas of its operations.  The 
competition comes from entities operating in Worcester County, Maryland and 
Sussex County, Delaware and neighboring counties and includes branches of 
some of the largest banks in Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia. Its most 
direct competition for deposits historically has come from other commercial 
banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, and credit unions 
operating in its service areas.  The banks compete for deposits with money
market mutual funds and corporate and government securities.  The banks compete
 with the same banking entities for loans, as well as mortgage banking 
companies and other institutional lenders.  The competition for loans varies
from time to time depending on certain factors.  These factors include, among
others, the general availability of lendable funds and credit, general and
local economic conditions, current interest rate levels, conditions in the
mortgage market, and other factors which are not readily predictable.

Employees

	As of December 31, 1998, the Banks employed 100 full-time equivalent 
employees.  The Company's operations are conducted through the banks.  
Consequently, the Company does not have separate employees.  None of the 
employees of the banks are represented by any collective bargaining unit.  
The banks consider their relations with their employees to be good.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

	The Company and the banks are subject to state and federal banking laws and 
regulations which impose specific requirements or restrictions on, and 
provide for general regulatory oversight with respect to, virtually all 
aspects of operations.  These laws and regulations are generally intended to 
protect depositors, not shareholders.  The following is a brief summary of 
certain statutes, rules, and regulations affecting the Company and the banks.
 To the extent that the following summary describes statutory or regulatory
provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular
statutory provisions.  Any change in applicable laws or regulations may have
a material adverse effect on the business and prospects of the Company.  
Legislative changes and the policies of various regulatory authorities may
affect the operations of the Company and the banks.  The Company is unable
to predict the nature or the extent of the effect on its business and earnings
that fiscal or monetary policies, economic control, or new federal or
state legislation may have in the future.


The Company

	Because it owns the outstanding common stock of the banks, the Company is a 
bank holding company within the meaning of the federal Bank Holding Company 
Act of 1956 (the "BHCA").  Under the BHCA, the Company is subject to periodic
 examination by the Federal Reserve and is required to file periodic reports 
of its operations and such additional information as the Federal Reserve may 
require.  The Company's and the Bank's activities are limited to banking, 
managing or controlling banks, furnishing services to or performing services
for its subsidiaries, or engaging in any other activity that the Federal 
Reserve determines to be so closely related to banking or managing and 
controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.

	Investments, Control, and Activities.  With certain limited exceptions, the 
BHCA requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the 
Federal Reserve before (i) acquiring substantially all the assets of any bank
, (ii) acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares
 of any bank if after such acquisition it would own or control more than 5% 
of the voting shares of such bank (unless it already owns or controls the 
majority of such shares), or (iii) merging or consolidating with another bank
holding company.

	In addition, and subject to certain exceptions, the BHCA and the Change in 
Bank Control Act, together with regulations thereunder, require Federal 
Reserve approval (or, depending on the circumstances, no notice of 
disapproval) prior to any person or company acquiring "control" of a bank 
holding company, such as the Company.  Control is conclusively presumed to 
exist if an individual or company acquires 25% or more of any class of 
voting securities of the bank holding company.  Because the Company's Common 
Stock is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, under Federal
Reserve regulations control will be rebuttably presumed to exist if a person
acquires at least 10% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting
securities of the Company.  The regulations provide a procedure for challenge
of the rebuttable control presumption.

	Under the BHCA, the Company is generally prohibited from engaging in, or 
acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting shares of 
any company engaged in nonbanking activities, unless the Federal Reserve, by 
order or regulation, has found those activities to be so closely related to 
banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.
 Some of the activities that the Federal Reserve has determined by regulation
to be proper incidents to the business of banking include making or servicing
loans and certain types of leases, engaging in certain insurance and discount
brokerage activities, performing certain data processing services, acting in
certain circumstances as a fiduciary or investment or financial advisor, owning
savings associations, and making investments in certain corporations or 
projects designed primarily to promote community welfare.

	Source of Strength; Cross-Guarantee.  In accordance with Federal Reserve 
policy, the Company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to 
its banks and to commit resources to support the banks in circumstances in 
which the Company might not otherwise do so.  Under the BHCA, the Federal 
Reserve may require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or 
relinquish control of a nonbank subsidiary (other than a nonbank subsidiary 
of a bank) upon the Federal Reserve's determination that such activity or
control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness or stability of
any subsidiary depository institution of the bank holding company.  Further,
federal bank regulatory authorities have additional discretion to require a 
bank holding company to divest itself of any bank or nonbank subsidiary if the
agency determines that divestiture may aid the depository institution's
financial condition.  The banks may be required to indemnify, or cross-
guarantee, the FDIC against losses it incurs with respect to any other bank
controlled by the Company, which in effect makes the Company's equity invest-
ments in healthy bank subsidiaries available to the FDIC to assist any failing
or failed bank subsidiary of the Company.

The Banks

	General.  The banks operate as state nonmember banking associations 
incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland and the State of 
Delaware.  They are subject to examination by the FDIC and the State Bank 
Commissioners.  Deposits in the banks are insured by the FDIC up to a 
maximum amount (generally $100,000 per depositor, subject to aggregation 
rules).  The Commissioners and FDIC regulate or monitor all areas of the 
banks' operations, including security devices and procedures, adequacy of 
capitalization and loss reserves, loans, investments, borrowings, deposits,
mergers, issuance's of securities, payment of dividends, interest rates 
payable on deposits, interest rates or fees chargeable on loans, establishment
of branches, corporate reorganizations, maintenance of books and records, and 
adequacy of staff training to carry on safe lending and deposit gathering
pratices.  The FDIC requires the banks to maintain certain capital ratios 
and imposes limitations on each of the bank's aggregate investment in real
estate, bank premises, and furniture and fixtures.  The banks are required by
the FDIC and the Commissioner to prepare quarterly reports on the banks'
financial condition.

	Under FDICIA, all insured institutions must undergo periodic on-site 
examination by their appropriate banking agency.  The cost of examinations 
of insured depository institutions and any affiliates may be assessed by the 
appropriate agency against each institution or affiliate as it deems 
necessary or appropriate.  Insured institutions are required to submit 
annual reports to the FDIC and the appropriate agency (and state supervisor 
when applicable).  FDICIA also directs the FDIC to develop with other appro-
priate agencies a method for insured depository institutions to provide 
supplemental disclosure of the estimated fair market value of assets and
liabilities, to the extent feasible and practicable, in any balance sheet,
financial statement, report of condition, or other report of any insured 
depository institution.  FDICIA also requires the federal banking regulatory
agencies to prescribe, by regulation, standards for all insured depository
institutions and depository institution holding companies relating, among other
things, to: (i) internal controls, information systems, and audit systems; (ii)
loan documentation; (iii) credit underwriting; (iv) interest rate risk
exposure; and (v) asset quality.

	
	Transactions With Affiliates and Insiders.  The banks are subject to Section 
23A of the Federal Reserve Act, which places limits on the amount of loans or 
extensions of credit to, or investment in, or certain other transactions with,
 affiliates and on the amount of advances to third parties collateralized by 
the securities or obligations of affiliates.  In addition, most of these 
loans and certain other transactions must be secured in prescribed amounts.  
The banks are also subject to Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act which, 
among other things, prohibits an institution from engaging in certain trans-
actions with certain affiliates unless the transactions are on terms sub-
stantially the same, or at least as favorable to such institution or its
subsidiaries, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions 
with nonaffiliate companies.  The banks are subject to certain restrictions
on extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, certain principal
shareholders, and their related interests.  Such extensions of credit (i) must
be made substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral,
as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with third parties,
and (ii) must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present
other unfavorable features.

	Branching.  Under Maryland law, the Maryland bank may open branches state-
wide, subject to the prior approval of the Commissioner and the FDIC.  
Maryland law permits banking organizations in other states to acquire 
Maryland banking organizations, as long as such states grant similar 
privileges for acquiring banking organizations in their states to banking 
organizations in Maryland, by opening a de novo branch, by acquiring an 
existing branch from a Maryland depository institution, or as a result of an 
interstate merger with a Maryland banking organization.  Delaware law also
allows branches statewide with prior approval of the Commissioner and the FDIC.
Delaware law is more restrictive allowing other state banking organizations
to branch to Delaware through opening a de novo bank, or as the result of an
interstate merger.


	Community Reinvestment Act.  The Community Reinvestment Act requires that 
each insured depository institution shall be evaluated by its primary 
federal regulator with respect to its record in meeting the credit needs of 
its local community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, 
consistent with the safe and sound operation of those institutions.  These 
factors are also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions, and 
applications to open a branch or facility.  The banks received satisfactory 
ratings in their most recent evaluations.

	Other Regulations.  Interest and certain other charges collected or 
contracted for by the banks are subject to state usury laws and certain 
federal laws concerning interest rates.  Loan operations are also subject to 
certain federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the federal 
Truth-In-Lending Act governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer 
borrowers, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975 requiring financial 
institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials
to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to 
help meet the housing needs of the community it serves, the Equal Credit
Opportunity Act prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed, or 
other prohibited factors in extending credit, the Fair Credit Reporting Act
of 1978 governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting
agencies, the Fair Debt Collection Act governing the manner in which consumer
debts may be collected by collection agencies, and the rules and regulations
of the various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing
such federal laws.  The deposit operations of the Bank are also subject to the
Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality
of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with
administrative subpoenas of financial records, and the Electronic Funds Transfer
Act and Regulation E issued by the Federal Reserve Board to implement that act,
which governs automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and 
customers' rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller
machines and other electronic banking services.

Deposit Insurance

	The deposits of the banks are currently insured to a maximum of $100,000 per
 depositor, subject to certain aggregation rules.  The FDIC establishes rates
 for the payment of premiums by federally insured banks and thrifts for 
deposit insurance.  Separate insurance funds (BIF and SAIF) are maintained 
for commercial banks and thrifts, with insurance premiums from the industry 
used to offset losses from insurance payouts when banks and thrifts fail. 
During 1996, the FDIC revised the range of premiums from $.00 to $.31 per 
$100 in deposits.

	The assessment rate for each bank is currently $1,000 for each six-month 
period. In addition to the FDIC assessment, banks are required to pay an 
assessment to the Financing Corporation (FICO) to service the interest on 
its bond obligations. The insurance assessment will remain at $.00 to $.31 
per $100 in deposits through June 1999.  Any increase in deposit insurance 
premiums for the banks will increase the banks' cost of funds, and there can 
be no assurance that such costs can be passed on to the banks' customers.

Dividends

	The principal source of the Company's cash revenues comes from dividends 
received from the Maryland bank.  The amount of dividends that may be paid 
by the bank to the Company depends on the bank's earnings and capital 
position and is limited by federal and state laws, regulations, and policies.
  The Federal Reserve has stated that bank holding companies should refrain 
from or limit dividend increases or reduce or eliminate dividends under 
circumstances in which the bank holding company fails to meet minimum 
capital requirements or in which earnings are impaired.

	The Company's ability to pay any cash dividends to its shareholders in the 
future will depend primarily on the Maryland bank's ability to pay dividends 
to the Company.  In order to pay dividends to the Company, the bank must 
comply with the requirements of all applicable laws and regulations.  Under 
Maryland law, the bank must pay a cash dividend only from the following, 
after providing for due or accrued expenses, losses, interest, and taxes: 
 (i) its undivided profits, or (ii) with the prior approval of the Commissioner,
its surplus in excess of 100% of its required capital stock.  Under FDICIA, the
bank may not pay a dividend if, after paying the dividend, the bank would be
undercapitalized.  See "Capital Regulations" below.  See Item 5 for a discussion
of dividends paid by the bank in the past two years.


	In addition to the availability of funds from the Maryland bank, the future 
dividend policy of the Company is subject to the discretion of the Board of 
Directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including future earnings
, financial condition, cash needs, and general business conditions.  If 
dividends should be declared in the future, the amount of such dividends 
presently cannot be estimated and it cannot be known whether such dividends 
would continue for future periods.

Capital Regulations

	The federal bank regulatory authorities have adopted risk-based capital 
guidelines for banks and bank holding companies that are designed to make 
regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profile
 among banks and bank holding companies, account for off-balance sheet 
exposure, and minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets.  The 
resulting capital ratios represent qualifying capital as a percentage of 
total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items.  The guidelines are
minimums, and the regulators have noted that banks holding companies contem-
plating significant expansion programs should not allow expansion to diminish
their capital ratios and should maintain ratios well in excess of the minimums.
The current guidelines require all bank holding companies and federally 
regulated banks to maintain a minimum risk-based total capital ratio equal to
8%, of which at least 4% must be Tier 1 capital.  Tier 1 capital includes
common shareholders' equity before the unrealized gains and losses on securities
available for sale, qualifying perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests
in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, but excludes goodwill and most
other intangibles, and excludes the allowance for loan and lease losses.  Tier
2 capital includes the excess of any preferred stock no included in Tier 1
capital, mandatory convertible securities, hybrid capital instruments, 
subordinated debt and intermediate term-preferred stock, and general reserves
for loan and lease losses up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets.

	Under the guidelines, banks' and bank holding companies' assets are given 
risk-weights of 0%, 20%, 50%, and 100%.  In addition, certain off-balance 
sheet items are given credit conversion factors to convert them to asset 
equivalent amounts to which an appropriate risk-weight will apply.  These 
computations result in the total risk-weighted assets.  Most loans are 
assigned to the 100% risk category, except for first mortgage loans fully 
secured by residential property and, under certain circumstances, residential
construction loans, both of which carry a 50% rating.  Most investment 
securities are assigned to the 20% category, except for municipal or state
revenue bonds, which have a 50% rating, and direct obligations of or
obligations guaranteed by the United States Treasury or United States 
Government agencies, which have a 0% rating.


	The federal bank regulatory authorities have also implemented a leverage 
ratio, which is Tier 1 capital as a percentage of average total assets less 
intangibles, to be used as a supplement to the risk-based guidelines.  The 
principal objective of the leverage ratio is to place a constraint on the 
maximum degree to which a bank holding company may leverage its equity 
capital base.  The minimum required leverage ratio for top-rated institutions
 is 3%, but most institutions are required to maintain an additional cushion
of at least 100 to 200 basis points.

	FDICIA established a new capital-based regulatory scheme designed to 
promote early intervention for troubled banks and requires the FDIC to 
choose the least expensive resolution of bank failures.  The new capital-
based regulatory framework contains five categories for compliance with 
regulatory capital requirements, including "well capitalized," "adequately 
capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized," and 
"critically undercapitalized."  To qualify as a "well capitalized" 
institution, a bank must have a leverage ratio of no less than 5%, a Tier 1
risk-based ratio of no less than 6%, and a total risk-based capital ratio
of no less than 10%, and the bank must not be under any order or directive
from the appropriate regulatory agency to meet and maintain a specific capital
level.  As of December 31, 1998, the Company and its banks were qualified as
"well capitalized."  See "Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or
Plan of Operation - Capital."

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

	Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated as a 
Maryland corporation on October 31, 1995, to become a one-bank holding 
company by acquiring all of the capital stock of Calvin B. Taylor Banking 
Company (the "Maryland Bank").  The Maryland Bank was incorporated under the 
laws of the State of Maryland on December 17, 1907. The Maryland Bank was 
organized as a nonmember state bank under the laws of the State of Maryland. 
Calvin B. Taylor Bank of Delaware (the "DE Bank") was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Delaware on September 18, 1997.  The DE Bank was organized
as a nonmember state bank under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Calvin B.
Taylor Bankshare, Inc. acquired all of the capital stock of Calvin B. Taylor 
Bank of Delaware also.  Both banks are engaged in a general commercial banking
business, emphasizing in their market the Company's local management and 
ownership, from their main offices located in their primary service areas of
Worcester County, Maryland and Sussex County, Delaware, and their neighboring
counties.  The banks offer a full range of deposit services that are typically
available in most banks and savings and loan associations, including checking
accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts and other time deposits of various 
types, ranging from daily money market accounts to longer-term certificates of
deposit.  In addition, the banks offer certain retirement account services, such
as Individual Retirement Accounts.  The banks also offer a full range of short-
to medium-term commercial and personal loans.  The banks originate fixed rate
mortgage loans and real estate construction and acquistion loans.  These loans
generally have a demand feature.  Other bank services include cash management
services, safe deposit boxes, travelers checks, direct deposit of payroll and 
social security checks, and automatic drafts for various accounts.


MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

	The following discussion of the Company's financial condition and results of
 operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial 
statements and related notes and other statistical information included 
elsewhere herein.

Overview

	Consolidated income of the Company is derived primarily from operations of 
the banks.  The 1998 net income was $4,697,014, compared to $4,934,903 for 
1997.  Although the Company experienced a lower net income, the Company 
continued its history of above average earnings with a return on average 
equity of 10.54% and return on average assets of 1.78% for 1998, compared to 
returns of 11.90% and 1.99%, respectively for 1997.

Results of Operations

	The Company reported net income of $4,697,014, or $2.90 per share, for the 
year ended December 31, 1998, which was a decrease of $237,889, or (4.82%), 
over the net income of $4,934,903, or $3.05 per share, for the year ended 
December 31, 1997.  Earnings are down from the previous year totals due to a 
market that drove the interest rates down, causing lower asset yields.  
Operating expenses increased as the result of opening a new bank in Delaware.

	Net interest income increased $89,128, or .77%, to $11,553,711 in 1998, from
 $11,464,583 in 1997.  This increase in net interest income was the result of
 an increase in interest revenue of $456,376 while interest expense increased
 by  $367,248.  Net interest income increased primarily because the balance 
of interest-earning assets grew faster than the balance of deposits and 
borrowed funds.  The yield on interest-earning assets decreased to 7.36% in 
1998, from 7.60% in 1997, while the combined yield on deposits and borrowed
funds decreased to 2.89% from 2.90% for the same period.

	The provision for loan losses was $1,175 in 1998, a decrease of $48,825 
from the $50,000 provision in 1997.  The decreased provision is the result 
of a $11,051 decrease in net charge-offs for 1998, creating a net recovery 
of $1,374.  Outstanding loans decreased during the same period.  During 1998,
 the Company had net recoveries of $1,374, which was less than .01% of 
average loans while during 1997 there were net charge-offs of $9,677.

	Noninterest income and noninterest expense increased by 16.75% and 14.64%,
 respectively during 1998, compared to 1997.  Discussion of these items is 
presented later under their respective headings.

Net Interest Income

	The primary source of income for the Company is net interest income, which 
is the difference between revenue on interest-earning assets, such as 
investment securities and loans, and interest incurred on interest-bearing 
sources of funds, such as deposits and borrowings.  The level of net 
interest income is determined primarily by the average balance of interest-
earning assets and funding sources and the various rate spreads between the 
interest-earning assets and the Company's funding sources.  The table "Average
Balances, Income and Expenses, and Rates" which follows shows the Company's
average volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities
for 1998 and 1997, and related income/expense and yields.  Changes in net
interest income from period to period result from increases or decreases in the 
volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and 
increases or decreases in the average rates earned and paid on such assets and
liabilities.  The volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities is affected by the ability to manage the earning-asset portfolio
(which includes loans), and the availability of particular sources of funds, 
such as noninterest bearing deposits.  The table "Analysis of Changes in Net
Interest Income" shows the amount of net interest income change from rate
changes and from activity changes.


	The key performance measure for net interest income is the "net margin on 
interest-bearing assets," or net interest income divided by average interest-
earning assets.  The Company's net interest margin for 1998, was 4.80% 
compared to 5.03% for 1997.  Because most of the loans of the Banks are 
written with a demand feature, the income of the Banks should not change 
dramatically as interest rates change.  Management of the Company expects to 
maintain the net margin on interest-earning assets. The net margin may decline,
however, if competition increases, loan demand decreases, or the cost of funds
rises faster than the return on loans and securities.  Although such 
expectations are based on management's judgement, actual results will depend
on a number of factors that cannot be predicted with certainty, and 
fulfillment of management's expectations cannot be assured.

Interest on tax-exempt securities, including dividends, are reported on 
fully taxable equivalent basis.  The variance that is both rate/volume 
related is reported with the rate variance.

Composition of Loan Portfolio

	Because loans are expected to produce higher yields than investment 
securities and other interest-earning assets (assuming that loan losses are 
not excessive), the absolute volume of loans and the volume as a percentage 
of total earning assets is an important determinant of net interest margin.  
Average loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, were $145,147,465 and 
$149,509,371 during 1998 and 1997, respectively, which constituted 59.03% 
and 64.30% of average interest-earning assets for the periods.  At December 31,
1998, the Company's loan to deposit ratio was 60.60% compared to 71.18% at
December 31, 1997, while the 1998 average loans to average deposits were 
66.54%.  The Company extends loans primarily to customers located in and near
Worcester County, Maryland and Sussex County, Delaware.  There are no industry
concentrations in the Company's loan portfolio.  The Company does, however, have
a substantial portion of its loans in real estate and its performance will 
be influenced by the real estate market in the region.

	The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's loan 
portfolio as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

	As of December 31, 1998, $136,886,909 or 96.51%, of the total loans were 
either variable rate loans or loans written on demand.  

	The Company has the following commitments, lines of credit, and letters 
of credit outstanding as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

	Loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no 
violation of any condition to the contract. Loan commitments may have 
interest fixed at current rates, fixed expiration dates, and may require the 
payment of a fee. Letters of credit are commitments issued to guarantee the 
performance of a customer to a third party.  Loan commitments and letters of 
credit are made on the same terms, including collateral, as outstanding 
loans.  The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance
by the borrower is represented by the contract amount of the commitment.
Management has provided an allowance of $2,989 for losses the Company may
incur by the funding of these commitments.

Loan Quality

	The allowance for loan losses represents a reserve for potential losses in 
the loan portfolio.  The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is 
evaluated periodically based on a review of all significant loans, with a 
particular emphasis on non-accruing, past due, and other loans that 
management believes require attention.  The determination of the reserve 
level rests upon management's judgment about factors affecting loan quality 
and assumptions about the economy.  Management considers the year-end allowance
appropriate and adequate to cover possible losses in the loan portfolio; 
however, management's judgment is based upon a number of assumptions about 
future events, which are believed to be reasonable, but which may or may not 
prove valid.  Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future 
periods will not exceed the allowance for loan loss or that additional 
increases in the loan loss allowance will not be required.

	For significant problem loans, management's review consists of evaluation 
of the financial strengths of the borrowers and guarantors, the related 
collateral, and the effects of economic conditions.  The overall evaluation 
of the adequacy of the total allowance for loan losses is based on an 
analysis of historical loan loss ratios, loan charge-offs, delinquency 
trends, and previous collection experience, along with an assessment of the 
effects of external economic conditions. Although the Company has a history
of low loan charge-offs, its current policy is to maintain an allowance of 
approximately 1.35% of gross loans unless management's evaluation of the 
risk associated with each loan indicates that the allowance should be higher.
  This allowance may be increased for reserves for specific loans identified 
as substandard during management's loan review.  Generally, the Company will 
not require a negative provision to reduce the allowance as a result of 
either net recoveries or a decrease in loans.  This may cause the allowance 
as a percentage of gross loans to exceed the Company's target of 1.35%.

	The table "Allocation of Allowance for Loan Losses" which follows shows the 
specific allowance applied by loan type and also the general allowance 
included in the December 31, 1998 and 1997, allowance for loan losses.


	The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings in the current period 
to replenish the allowance and maintain it at a level management has 
determined to be adequate.  As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the respective 
allowance for loan losses were 1.47% and 1.39% of outstanding loans.

		As a result of management's ongoing review of the loan portfolio, loans 
are classified as nonaccrual when it is not reasonable to expect collection 
of interest under the original terms.  These loans are classified as 
nonaccrual even though the presence of collateral or the borrower's 
financial strength may be sufficient to provide for ultimate repayment.  
Interest on nonaccrual loans is recognized only when received. A delinquent 
loan is generally placed in nonaccrual status when it becomes 90 days or more
past due.  When a loan is placed in nonaccrual status, all interest which has
been accrued on the loan but remains unpaid is reversed and deducted from 
earnings as a reduction of reported interest income.  No additional interest
is accrued on the loan balance until the collection of both principal and
interest becomes reasonably certain.

	The provision for loan loses shown on the income statement includes 
$2,989 provided for loan commitments.

	The Company had no nonperforming loans at December 31, 1998 or 1997.  
Where real estate acquired by foreclosure and held for sale is included 
with nonperforming loans, the result comprises nonperforming assets.  
Nonperforming assets at December 31, 1998, totaled $39,000. Loans are 
classified as impaired when the collection of contractual obligations, 
including principal and interest, is doubtful.  Management has identified 
no significant impaired loans as of December 31, 1998 or 1997.

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity

	The primary objective of asset/liability management is to ensure the steady 
growth of the Company's primary source of earnings, net interest income.  
Net interest income can fluctuate with significant interest rate movements.  
To lessen the impact of these margin swings, the balance sheet should be 
structured so that repricing opportunities exist for both assets and 
liabilities in roughly equivalent amounts at approximately the same time 
intervals.  Imbalances in these repricing opportunities at any point in time
constitute interest rate sensitivity.

		Liquidity represents the ability to provide steady sources of funds for 
loan commitments and investment activities, as well as to provide sufficient 
funds to cover deposit withdrawals and payment of debt and operating 
obligations.  These funds can be obtained by converting assets to cash or by 
attracting new deposits.
		
  Average liquid assets (cash and amounts due from banks, interest bearing 
deposits in other banks, federal funds sold, and investment securities) were 
51.17% of average deposits for 1998, compared to 45.14% for 1997.
  
		Interest rate sensitivity may be controlled on either side of the balance 
sheet.  On the asset side, management can exercise some control on 
maturities.  Also, loans may be structured with rate floors and ceilings on 
variable rate notes and by providing for repricing opportunities on fixed 
rate notes.  The Company's investment portfolio, including federal funds 
sold, provides the most flexible and fastest control over rate sensitivity 
since it can generally be restructured more quickly than the loan portfolio.

		On the liability side, deposit products can be restructured so as to offer 
incentives to attain the maturity distribution desired.  Competitive factors 
sometimes make control over deposits more difficult and less effective.

		Interest rate sensitivity refers to the responsiveness of interest-bearing 
assets and liabilities to changes in market interest rates.  The rate-
sensitive position, or gap, is the difference in the volume of rate-
sensitive assets and liabilities at a given time interval.  The general 
objective of gap management is to actively manage rate-sensitive assets and 
liabilities to reduce the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the net 
interest margin.  Management generally attempts to maintain a balance between 
rate-sensitive assets and liabilities as the exposure period is lengthened 
to minimize the overall interest rate risk to the Company.

		The asset mix of the balance sheet is continually evaluated in terms of 
several variables; yield, credit quality, appropriate funding sources, and 
liquidity.  Management of the liability mix of the balance sheet focuses on 
expanding the various funding sources.

		The interest rate sensitivity position at December 31, 1998, is presented 
in the table "Interest Sensitivity Analysis." The difference between rate-
sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities, or the interest rate 
sensitivity gap, is shown at the bottom of the table.  The Company was asset-
sensitive for all time horizons. For asset-sensitive institutions, if 
interest rates should decrease, the net interest margins should decline.  
Since all interest rates and yields do not adjust at the same velocity, the
gap is only a general indicator of rate sensitivity.

		The table "Investment Securities Maturity Distribution and Yields" shows 
that as of December 31, 1998, $33,411,911 of the investment portfolio 
matures in one year or less.  The balance of the debt securities mature 
within five years except for the only debt security classified as "available-
for-sale."  The funds invested in federal funds sold provide liquidity so 
that only debt securities with an original maturity in excess of ten years 
have been classified as "available-for-sale."  Other sources of liquidity 
include letters of credit, overnight federal funds, and reverse repurchase 
agreements available from correspondent banks.  The total lines of credit 
available from correspondent banks at December 31, 1998, was $15,000,000.

Deposits and Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities

	Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $11,647,191, or  6.78%, to  
$183,478,188 in  1998,  from $171,830,997  in 1997. Average interest-bearing 
 deposits  increased $11,717,112, or 6.82%, to  $183,467,366 in  1998, from  
$171,750,254  in  1997, while average demand deposits increased $370,413, or 
1.08% to $34,675,359 in 1998, from $34,304,946 in 1997.  At December 31, 
1998, total deposits were $230,617,685, compared to $206,793,198 at December 
31, 1997, an increase of 11.52%.

	Core deposits, which exclude certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more, 
provide a relatively stable funding source for the Company's loan portfolio 
and other earning assets.  The Company's core deposits increased $17,575,488 
during 1998. Deposits, and particularly core deposits, have been the 
Company's primary source of funding and have enabled the Company to meet 
both its short-term and long-term liquidity needs.  Management anticipates 
that such deposits will continue to be the Company's primary source of funding
in the future.  The maturity distribution of the Company's time deposits over 
$100,000 at December 31, 1998, is shown in the following table.

	Large certificate of deposit customers tend to be extremely sensitive to 
interest rate levels, making these deposits less reliable sources of funding 
for liquidity planning purposes than core deposits.  Some financial 
institutions partially fund their balance sheets using large certificates of 
deposit obtained through brokers.  These brokered deposits are generally 
expensive and are unreliable as long-term funding sources.  Accordingly, the 
Company does not accept brokered deposits.

Noninterest Income

	Noninterest income for 1998 was $996,188, compared to noninterest income in 
1997 of $853,278, an increase of $142,910, or 16.75%.  During 1998, the 
Company collected fees for automatic teller machine usage from noncustomers 
and also offered a new club account.  Income from these new fees totaled 
$148,060. 

	The following table presents the principal components of noninterest income 
for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Noninterest Expense

	Noninterest expense increased by $679,467, or 14.64%, from $4,640,036 in 
1997 to $5,319,503 in 1998.  Increased personnel costs were due to annual 
raises and additional staff for the new Delaware bank.  As the result of 
offering new club accounts and opening a new bank, marketing and product 
development costs increased $128,632.  Other operating expenses have 
increased with the growth in deposits and the opening of the Delaware bank.

Capital

	Under the capital guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC, the 
Company and its banks are currently required to maintain a minimum risk-based
 total capital ratio of 8%, with at least 4% being Tier 1 capital.  Tier 1 
capital consists of common shareholders' equity, qualifying perpetual 
preferred stock, and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated 
subsidiaries, less certain intangibles.  In addition, the Company and the 
banks must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total
assets) of at least 3%, but this minimum ratio is increased by 100 to 200 
basis points for other than the highest-rated institutions.

	At December 31, 1998, the Company and the banks exceeded their regulatory 
capital ratios, as set forth in the following table.

Accounting Rule Changes

	FASB Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, requires that all 
items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as 
components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement 
that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.  
Comprehensive income of the Company includes unrealized gains and losses on 
securities available for sale, net of tax.  The Statement is effective for 
years beginning after December 15, 1997.  The Company adopted the standard
in the financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 1998 with 
restatement of prior periods.

	FASB Statement No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and 
Related Information, requires that a public company report financial and 
descriptive information about its reportable operating segments.  Operating 
segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial 
information is available that is evaluated regularly by management in 
deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.  Generally, 
financial information is required to be reported on the basis that is used
internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate 
resources to segments. This Statement was effective for financial statements 
for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The standard had no effect on 
the Company's financial statements.

	FASB Statement No. 132, Employers' Disclosures about Pension and Other 
Postretirement Benefits, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 
106, standardizes the disclosure requirements for pension and postretirement 
benefits.  It requires additional information on the changes in benefit 
obligations and fair values of plan assets and eliminates certain 
disclosures that are not longer useful.  It was effective for fiscal years 
beginning after December 15, 1997.  The pension disclosures have been 
restated to conform to this pronouncement.
 
		FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging 
Activities, requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either 
assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure 
those instruments at fair value.  It is effective for fiscal years beginning 
after June 15, 1999.  The Company has no derivatives and expects no 
additional disclosures from the adoption of this statement.
 
		FASB Statement No. 134, Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained 
after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage 
Banking Enterprise, is an amendment of FASB Statement No.65.  After the 
securitization of a mortgage loan held for sale, any retained mortgage-
backed securities shall be classified in accordance with the provisions of 
Statement 115.  However, a mortgage banking enterprise must classify as 
trading any mortgage-backed securities that it commits to sell before or during
the securitization process.  This Statement shall be effective for the first 
fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 1998.  The Company does not 
engage in the activities described by this statement.

		Statement of Position 98-5 of the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of
 the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Reporting on the Costs
 of Start-up Activities, requires that start-up costs and organization costs 
be expensed as incurred.   Prior to 1998, organization costs were amortized 
over five years.  This Statement, which is effective for fiscal years 
beginning after December 15, 1998, requires that the unamortized balance of 
organization costs be written off when the statement is adopted.  The Company
elected early adoption of this pronouncement.  The cumulative effect of 
changing to this accounting method was a decrease in earnings of $59,933, 
net of income taxes.

Impact of Inflation

	Unlike most industrial companies, the assets and liabilities of financial 
institutions such as the Company and the Bank are primarily monetary in 
nature.  Therefore, interest rates have a more significant effect on the 
Company's performance than do the effects of changes in the general rate of 
inflation and change in prices.  In addition, interest rates do not 
necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the 
prices of goods and services.  As discussed previously, management seeks to 
manage the relationships between interest sensitive assets and liabilities
in order to protect against wide interest rate fluctuations, including those
resulting from inflation.  See "Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity"
above.

Industry Developments

	Certain recently enacted and proposed legislation could have an effect on 
both the costs of doing business and the competitive factors facing the 
financial institution industry.  The Company is unable at this time to 
assess the impact of this legislation on its financial condition or results 
of operations.  

Year 2000 Issues

	The following information is provided as a "Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure" 
in compliance with the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act of 
1998.	
	
	The Year 2000 issue relates to computer programs that use only two digits 
to identify a year in the date field.  Unless corrected, these programs 
could read the year 2000 as the year 1900, and likely would adversely affect 
any number of calculations that are made using the date field.  Financial 
institutions are highly computerized organizations, and the year 2000 issue 
represents a significant risk to the industry.  The Company faces the same 
risks as the industry.  The potential risk of any major loan or deposit systems
failure of the year 2000 issue are that loan interest and balances could not 
be accurately calculated, billed and collected, and deposit interest and 
balances could not be accurately calculated and paid to customers.  These 
failures could have a significant impact on a financial institutions 
operations and liquidity.

	The Company adopted a Year 2000 Testing Strategy and Plan ("the Plan") 
during 1998.  This Plan is consistent with the mandates and guidelines set 
forth by the FDIC and the FFIEC. Within the Company, a committee of senior 
managers was formed to address this issue.  The management committee 
identified five major phases of a strategic plan: Awareness, Assessment, 
Renovation, Validation and Implementation.

	The awareness phase is a continuing effort to educate employees, customers, 
business partners and vendors of the impact of the Year 2000 issue.  The 
effort is well under way through communication with the appropriate 
constituencies and training for all employees.

	During the assessment phase, which as completed April 30, 1998, a detailed 
listing was compiled of all hardware, software, equipment and vendors owned 
or used by the Company.  All manufacturers, software providers and vendors 
were requested to provide information regarding their Year 2000 readiness.  
On completion of the assessment phase, any hardware or software that was 
determined not year 1000 compliant was slated for replacement or renovation.

	The validation phase consisted of testing all hardware and software for Year 
2000 readiness.  In November and December 1998, test transactions were 
processed to validate changes made to the core banking system of deposits 
and loans of our primary data processing third party service provider.  The 
tests were a success, and no Year 2000 problems were indicated.  All of the 
Company's ATM machines have been upgraded to be compliant with year 2000 
requirements.  The validation and renovation, if necessary, of other material
operation and support systems will be complete by June 30, 1999.

	Contingency planning for all mission critical functions was completed on 
March 10, 1999. Management's current estimate as this time of the worst case 
scenario that may occur would be that the branches would function off-line 
for the time period immediately following year end 1999. This off-line 
processing would have minimal impact if the length of time that this 
condition existed is limited.  In addition, to accommodate all branches, the 
bookkeeping department located at the operations center will have a complete
trial balance of all accounts for all branch locations.
	
	During 1998, the Company incurred $44,898 of expense, above the normal 
replacement costs, related to year 2000 compliance.  Management estimates 
that the cost of making all applications compliant in 1999 will be $30,000. 
The Company does not track internal costs for personnel devoted to Year 2000 
issues; however, two individuals have spent significant time on the project, 
and many other individuals have spent numerous hours to ensure the Company 
will be compliant.

             MARKET FOR COMPANY'S COMMON EQUITY AND
                RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

	The Company's Articles of Incorporation authorize it to issue up to 
2,000,000 shares of the common stock.

	As of March 4, 1999, there were approximately 636 holders of record of the 
common stock and 1,620,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. 
There is no established public trading market in the stock, and there is no 
likelihood that a trading market will develop in the near future.  The 
development of a trading market may be inhibited because a large portion of 
the Company's shares is held by insiders.  Transactions in the common stock 
are infrequent and are negotiated privately between the persons involved in 
those transactions.

	All outstanding shares of common stock of the Company are entitled to share 
equally in dividends from funds legally available, when, as, and if declared 
by the Board of Directors.   The Company paid dividends of $.65 per share in 
1998, and $1.35  per share in 1997 after giving retroactive effect to the 
1998 stock split effected in  the form of a 100% stock dividend.  During 
1997, the Company paid a special mid-year dividend which was not expected to 
be an annual event.

Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Berlin, Maryland


	We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Calvin B. 
Taylor Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998, 1997, and 
1996, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, 
and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial 
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based 
on our audits.

	We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

	In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above 
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Calvin 
B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998, 1997, 
and 1996, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the 
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

	As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company changed its 
method of accounting for organization costs in 1998.

 1.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

		The accounting and reporting policies reflected in the financial 
statements conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to 
general practices within the banking industry.

		Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc. is a bank holding company.  Its principal
 subsidiary, Calvin B. Taylor Banking Company, is a financial institution 
operating primarily in Worcester County, Maryland. The other subsidiary, 
Calvin B. Taylor Bank of Delaware, is a financial institution operating 
primarily in Sussex County, Delaware.  The Banks offer deposit services and 
loans to individuals, small businesses, associations and government entities.
  Other services include direct deposit of payroll and social security checks, 
automatic drafts from accounts, automated teller machine services, safe 
deposit boxes, money orders and travelers cheques.  The Banks also offer 
credit card services and discount brokerage services through correspondents.

		The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial 
statements.  These estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts 
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could 
differ from these estimates.

	Principles of consolidation

			The consolidated financial statements of Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc.
include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Calvin B. Taylor 
Banking Company and Calvin B. Taylor Bank of Delaware.

	Cash equivalents

	For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include 
cash on hand, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold.  Federal funds 
are purchased and sold for one-day periods.

	Investment securities

	As securities are purchased, management determines if the securities should 
be classified as held to maturity or available for sale.  Securities which 
management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are recorded at 
amortized cost which is cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and 
accretion of discounts to maturity.  Securities classified as available-for-
sale are recorded at fair value.

	Gains and losses on disposal are determined using the specific-
identification method.

	Premises and equipment
	
 Premises and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation.  
Depreciation is computed under both straight-line and accelerated methods 
over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 1.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

	Intangible assets

		In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Position 98-5 of the Accounting 
Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public 
Accountants, Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities, which requires 
that start-up costs and organization costs be expensed as incurred.  During 
1998, the Company wrote off organization costs, all of which were incurred 
prior to 1998.  Prior to 1998, organization costs were amortized over five 
years.

	The Company amortizes software costs over their useful lives using the 
straight-line method.

	Loans and allowance for credit losses

	Loans are stated at face value less the allowance for credit loses.

	Interest on loans is credited to income based on the principal amounts 
outstanding.  The accrual of interest is discontinued when any portion of 
the principal or interest is ninety days past due and collateral is 
insufficient to discharge the debt in full.

	The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level deemed appropriate 
by management to provide adequately for known and inherent risks in the loan 
portfolio.  The allowance is based upon a continuing review of past loan 
loss experience, current economic conditions which may affect the borrowers' 
ability to pay, and the underlying collateral value of the loans.  If the 
current economy or real estate market were to suffer a severe downturn, the 
estimate for uncollectible accounts would need to be increased.  Loans which
are deemed to be uncollectible are charged off and deducted from the 
allowance.  The provision for credit losses and recoveries on loans 
previously charged off are added to the allowance.

	Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information, 
management considers it unlikely that collection of principal and interest 
payments will be made according to contractual terms.  Generally, loans are 
not reviewed for impairment until the accrual of interest has been 
discontinued.

	Income taxes

	The provision for income taxes includes taxes payable for the current year 
and deferred income taxes.  Deferred income taxes are provided for the 
temporary differences between financial and taxable income.  Tax expense and 
tax benefits are allocated to the banks and company based on their 
proportional share of taxable income.

	Per share data

	Earnings per common share and dividends per common share are determined by 
dividing net income and dividends by the 1,620,000 shares outstanding, 
giving retroactive effect to the stock dividend paid.

2. Comprehensive Income

	The Bank adopted Statement No. 130 of the Financial Accounting Standards 
Board Reporting Comprehensive Income in 1998.  Comprehensive income includes 
net income and the unrealized gain on investment securities held for sale.  
The statement of changes in Stockholders' Equity has been restated to 
include comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.

 3.	Cash and Due From Banks

	The Company normally carries balances with other banks that exceed the 
federally insured limit.  The average balances carried in excess of the 
limit, including unsecured federal funds sold to the same banks, were 
$26,371,278 for 1998, $21,777,954 for 1997, and $24,057,839 for 1996.

	Banks are required to carry noninterest-bearing cash reserves at specified 
percentages of deposit balances.  The Company's normal amount of cash on 
hand and on deposit with other banks is sufficient to satisfy the reserve 
requirements.

 4.	Investment Securities

	Investment securities are summarized as follows:

 5.	Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses (Continued)

	Loan commitments are agreements to lend to customers as long as there is 
no violation of any conditions of the contracts.  Loan commitments generally 
have interest at current market rates, fixed expiration dates, and may 
require payment of a fee.  

	Letters of credit are commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a 
customer to a third party.

	Loan commitments and letters of credit are made on the same terms, 
including collateral, as outstanding loans.  The Company's exposure to 
credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower is represented by 
the contract amount of the commitment.  In 1998, management provided an 
allowance of $2,989 for losses the Company may incur by the funding of these 
commitments.

	The Company makes loans to customers located primarily in the Delmarva 
region.  Although the loan portfolio is diversified, its performance will be 
influenced by the economy of the region.

	Transactions in the allowance for credit losses were as follows:


                                      					1998          		1997       		1996

12.	Pension Plan

	The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of 
the employees.  Benefits are based on years of service and the employee's 
average rate of earnings for the final five full years before retirement.

deducted for income tax purposes, determined using the projected unit credit 
cost method.  Assets of the plan are held in deposit accounts and mortgage 
loans.  The following table sets forth the financial status of the plan:

13.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

	The fair values of equity securities are determined using market quotations.  
The fair values of debt securities are estimated using a matrix that considers 
yield to maturity, credit quality, and marketability.

	The fair value of fixed-rate loans is estimated to be the present value of 
scheduled payments discounted using interest rates currently in effect for 
loans of the same class and term.  The fair value of variable-rate loans, 
including loans with a demand feature, is estimated to equal the carrying 
amount.  The valuation of loans is adjusted for possible loan losses.

	The fair value of interest-bearing checking, savings, and money market 
deposit accounts is equal to the carrying amount.  The fair value of fixed-
rate time deposits is estimated based on interest rates currently offered 
for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

	It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of outstanding loan 
commitments, unused lines, and letters of credit.

14.	Related Party Transactions

	The executive officers and directors of the Company enter into loan 
transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business.  The terms of 
these transactions are similar to the terms provided to other borrowers 
entering into similar loan transactions.

	The Company obtains legal services from a law firm in which one of the 
principal attorneys is also a member of the Board of Directors.  Fees 
charged for these services are at similar rates charged by unrelated law 
firms for similar legal work.  Amounts paid to this related party totaled 
$4,374 and $2,183 during the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.

15.	Lines of Credit

16.	Capital Standards

	The Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 
have adopted risk-based capital standards for banking organization.  These 
standards require ratios of capital to assets for minimum capital adequacy 
and to be classified as well capitalized under prompt corrective action 
provisions.  The capital ratios and minimum capital requirements of the 
Company are as follows:

                                                          							To Be Well

      December 31, 1997     
 Total capital
  (to risk-weighted assets)		43741	  36.2% >  9680   >  8.0% >  12100  >  10.0%
 Tier 1 capital
  (to risk-weighted assets)		42221	  34.9% >  4840   >  4.0% >   7260  >   6.0%
 Tier 1 capital
  (to average assets)	      	42221	  16.7% > 10090   >  4.0% >  12612  >   5.0%

      December 31, 1996     
 Total capital
  (to risk-weighted assets)		40958	  33.5% >  9776   >  8.0% >  12220  >  40.0%
 Tier 1 capital
  (to risk-weighted assets)		39431	  32.3% >  4888   >  4.0% >   7332  >   6.0%
 Tier 1 capital
  (to average assets)      		39431  	15.8% >  9962   >  4.0% >  12453  >   5.0%

	Tier 1 capital consists of capital stock, surplus, and undivided profits 
and total capital includes a limited amount of the allowance for credit 
losses.  In calculating risk-weighted assets, specific risk percentages are 
applied to each category of asset and off-balance sheet items.

	Failure to meet the capital requirements could affect the Company's ability 
to pay dividends and accept deposits, and may significantly affect the 
operations of the Company.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


18.	Contingencies

	The Company is involved in various legal actions arising from normal business 
activities.  Management believes that the ultimate liability or risk of loss 
resulting from these actions will not materially affect the Company's 
financial position.

	The Company has determined the scope of the Year 2000 issue as it relates to 
the operation of the Banks.  The internal systems have been tested and those 
found not to be compliant will be compliant before the end of 1999.  
Management estimates that the cost of making all applications compliant in 
1999 will be $30,000.  During 1998, the Company incurred $44,898 of expense, 
above the normal replacement costs, related to the Year 2000 compliance.

	Management has contacted vendors and large customers to assess their 
preparedness and expects no significant impact on the operations of the 
Company.

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

	Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated as a 
Maryland corporation on October 31, 1995, to become a one-bank holding 
company by acquiring all of the capital stock of Calvin B. Taylor Banking 
Company (the "Maryland Bank").  The Maryland Bank was incorporated under the 
laws of the State of Maryland on December 17, 1907. The Maryland Bank was 
organized as a nonmember state bank under the laws of the State of Maryland. 
Calvin B. Taylor Bank of Delaware (the "DE Bank") was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Delaware on September 18, 1997.  The DE Bank was 
organized as a nonmember state bank under the laws of the State of Delaware.
Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares, Inc. has acquired all of the capital stock of
Calvin B. Taylor Bank of Delaware also.  Both Banks are engaged in a general
commercial banking business, emphasizing in its marketing the Bank's local
management and ownership, from its main office location in its primary service
area of Worcester County and its neighboring counties.  The Banks offer a full
range of deposit services that are typically available in most banks and savings
and loan associations, including checking accounts, NOW accounts, savings 
accounts and other time deposits of various types, ranging from daily money
market accounts to longer-term certificates of deposit.  In addition, the Banks
offer certain retirement account services, such as Individual Retirement 
Accounts.  The Banks also offer a full range of short- to medium-term
commercial and personal loans.  The Banks also originate and hold or sell into
the secondary market fixed and variable rate mortgage loans and real estate
construction and acquisition loans.  Other bank services include cash
management services, safe deposit boxes, travelers' checks, direct deposit
of payroll and social security checks, and automatic drafts for various
accounts.


MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

	The following discussion of the Company's financial condition and results 
of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial 
statements and related notes and other statistical information included 
elsewhere herein.

Overview

	Consolidated income of the Company is derived primarily from operations of 
the Banks.  The 1998 net income was $4,697,014 compared to $4,934,903 for 
1997.  Although the company experienced a lower net income, the Company 
continued its history of above average earnings with a return on equity of 
10.54% and return on assets of 1.78% for 1998.

Results of Operations

	The Company reported net income of $4,697,014, or $2.90 per share, for the 
year ended December 31, 1998, which was a decrease of $237,889, or -4.82%, 
from the net income of $4,934,903, or $3.05 per share, for the year ended 
December 31, 1997.  These percentages are slightly down form the previous 
year totals due to a market that drove the interest rates down causing lower 
net asset yields.

	Net interest income increased $89,128, or .77%, to $11,553,711 in 1998, 
from $11,464,583 in 1997.  This increase in net interest income was the 
result of an increase in interest revenue of $422,909. Net interest income 
increased primarily because the balance of interest-earning assets grew 
faster than the balance of deposits and borrowed funds.  A secondary cause 
of the increase in net interest income is the decline in the cost of funds.  
The yield on interest-earning assets decreased slightly to 7.36% in 1998, from
7.60% in 1997, while the combined yield on deposits and borrowed funds 
decreased to 2.89% from 2.90% for the same period. 

	The provision for loan losses was $1,175 in 1998, a decrease of $48,825 
from the $50,000 provision in 1997.  The decreased provision is the result 
of a $11,051 decrease in net charge-offs for 1998, creating a net recovery 
of $1,374.  During 1998, the Company had net recoveries of $1,374, which was 
 .001% of average loans while during 1997 there were net charge-offs of $9,677.

	Noninterest income increased by 16.75% and noninterest expense increased by 
14.64% during 1998, compared to 1997.  These changes are due to service 
charges on new product lines and the expenses incurred getting these product 
lines to the public.


Net Interest Income

	The primary source of income for the Company is net interest income, which 
is the difference between revenue on interest-earning assets, such as 
investment securities and loans, and interest incurred on interest-bearing 
sources of funds, such as deposits and borrowings.  The level of net 
interest income is determined primarily by the average balance of interest-
earning assets, the funding sources, the various rate spreads between the 
interest-earning assets and the Company's funding sources.  The table "Average
Balances, Income and Expenses, and Rates" which follows shows the Company's 
average volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities 
for 1998 and 1997, and related income/expense and yields.  Changes in net 
interest income from period to period result from increases or decreases in 
the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities; and 
increases or decreases in the average rates earned and paid on such assets 
and liabilities.  The volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities is affected by the ability to manage the earning-asset portfolio 
(which includes loans), and the availability of particular sources of funds, 
such as noninterest bearing deposits.

	The key performance measure for net interest income is the "net margin on 
interest-bearing assets," or net interest income divided by average interest-
earning assets.  The Company's net interest margin for 1998 was 4.80% 
compared to 5.03% for 1997.  Because most of the loans of the Bank are 
written with a demand feature, the income of the Banks should not change
dramatically as interest rates change.  Management of the Company expects to
maintain the net margin on interest-earning assets.  The net margin may decline,
however, if competition increases, loan demand decreases, or the cost of funds
rises faster than the return on loans and securities.  Although such
expectations are based on management's judgment, actual results will depend
on a number of factors that cannot be predicted with certainty, and fulfillment
of management's expectations cannot be assured.
