                            Talbot Bancshares, Inc.
              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)


1)      Effective May 1, 1997, the common shareholders of The Talbot Bank of
        Easton, Maryland (the "Bank") exchanged each one of their common shares
        of the Bank for two shares of common stock of Talbot Bancshares, Inc
        (the "Holding Company") and at that time the Bank became a wholly-owned
        subsidiary of the Holding Company. The only current business of the
        Holding Company is the ownership and operation of the Bank. The Holding
        Company and the Bank are collectively referred to as the "Company." The
        formation of the Holding Company and exchange of shares has been
        accounted for as a pooling of interests.

        In the opinion of the management of the Company the accompanying
        condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
        necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 1998, the
        results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
        1998 and 1997, and cash flows for the six month period ended June 30,
        1998 and 1997. The results of operations for the three and six months
        ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
        expected for the full year.

2)      In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
        No 128, Earnings Per Share, which became effective for the Company for
        reporting periods ending after December 31, 1998.  Under the provisions
        of SFAS No. 128, primary and fully-diluted earnings per share were
        replaced with basic diluted earnings per share in an effort to simplify
        the computation of these measures and align them more closely with the
        methodology used internationally.  Basic earnings per share is arrived
        at by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the
        weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and does not
        include the impact of any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.
        The diluted earnings per share calculation method is arrived at by
        dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares
        outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding stock
        options and warrants.  For purposes of comparability, the prior-period
        earnings per share data has been restated.

3)      Under the provisions of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
        (SFAS) Nos. 114 and 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
        Loan" a loan is considered impaired if it is probable that the Company
        will not collect all principal and interest payments according to the
        loan's contracted terms. The impairment of a loan is measured at the
        present value of expected future cash flows using the loan's effective
        interest rate, or at the loan's observable market price or the fair
        value of the collateral of the loan is collateral dependent. Interest
        income on impaired loans is recognized on a cash basis.

        Impaired loans do not include groups of smaller balance homogenous loans
        such as residential mortgage and consumer installment loans that are
        evaluated collectively for impairment. Reserves for probable future
        credit losses related to these loans are based upon historical loss
        ratios and are included in the allowance for credit losses.

4)      In the normal course of business, to meet the financial needs of its
        customers, the Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance
        sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend
        credit and standby letters of credit. At June 30, 1998 total commitments
        to extend credit were approximately $41,785,000. Outstanding letters of
        credit were approximately $4,872,000 at June 30, 1998.

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

OVERVIEW

        Net income for the second quarter of 1998 was $1,001,000 an increase of
        15% over the $870,000 for the second quarter of 1997. On a per share
        basis earnings were $0.82 compared to $0.73 for the same period last
        year.

        Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $1,892,000
        compared to $1,694,000 for the same period in 1997. This represents an
        11.7% increase. Net income per share was $1.56 and $1.42 for the six
        months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

NET INTEREST INCOME

        Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was 4.9%
        higher than the same period last year due to an increase in average
        loans. The net interest margin decreased 6 basis points to 4.59%
        compared to 4.65% one year ago. Loans comprised 73.7% and 71.5% of total
        average earning assets at June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

        Total non-interest income increased 26% and 13% for the quarter and six
        months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same periods in 1997. These
        increases are a result of increases in service charges assessed on
        deposit accounts, gains on sales investment securities and fees earned
        on the sale of non-deposit investment products. Service charges on
        deposit accounts increased 7.7% and 5.5%, respectively for the quarter
        and six months ended June 30, 1998 when compared to the same periods in
        1997.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

        Total non-interest expense, excluding the provision for credit losses
        increased $30,000 or 2% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. For the six
        months ended June 30, 1998 non-interest expense increased $83,000 or
        2.8%. These increases are the result of general increase in salaries and
        benefits, and other expenses, associated with the growth of the Bank and
        expanded services being provided.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

        Loan growth and a decline in customer deposits during the six month
        ended June 30, 1998 were funded through sales and maturities of
        investment securities, as well as an increase in securities sold under
        agreements to repurchase. Investment securities decreased $5,677,000 or
        9.2% totalling $55,802,000 at June 30, 1998 from $61,479,000 at December
        31, 1997. Total loans increased 1.8% to $188,681,000 at June 30, 1998
        from $185,293,000 at December 31, 1997. Total deposits decreased
        $1,960,000 to $222,954,000 from $224,914,000 at December 31, 1997.
        Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $4,412,000 to
        $14,676,000 at June 30, 1998 from $10,264,000 at December 31, 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The Company derives liquidity through increased customer deposits,
        maturities in the investment portfolio, loan repayments and income from
        earning assets. At June 30, 1998 the Company's liquidity ratio was
        approximately 23%. There are no known trends or demands, commitments,
        events or uncertainties that management is aware of which will
        materially affect the Company's ability to maintain liquidity at
        satisfactory levels.

        Total Stockholders' equity was $32.5 million at June 30, 1998, 10.8%
        higher than one year ago.

        Regulatory agencies have adopted various capital standards for financial
        institutions, including risk-based capital standards. The primary
        objectives of the risk-based capital framework are to provide a more
        consistent system for comparing capital positions of financial
        institutions and to take into account the different risks among
        financial institutions' assets and off-balance sheet items.

        Risk-based capital standards have been supplemented with requirements
        for a minimum Tier 1 capital to assets ratio (leverage ratio). In
        addition, regulatory agencies consider the published capital levels as
        minimum levels and may require a financial institution to maintain
        capital at higher levels.

        A comparison of the Company's capital as of June 30, 1998, with the
minimum requirements is presented below.

  Total Risk-based Capital              19.06%               8.00%
  Leverage Ratio                        12.14%               3.00%


PROVISIONS FOR CREDIT LOSSES

        The Company is required to maintain an adequate allowance for credit
        losses, therefore, the Board of Directors and management perform regular
        reviews to assure its' adequacy. Significant credit exposures,
        non-accrual and impaired loans and other real estate owned are examined
        to assure the adequacy of the allowance.

        The following table presents a summary of the activity in the Allowance
        for Loan Losses.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company utilizes a simulation model to quantify the effect a hypothetical
plus or minus 200 basis point change in rates would have on net interest income
and the fair value of capital. The model takes into consideration the effect of
call features of investments as well as repayments of loans in periods of
declining rates. When actual changes in interest rates occur the changes in
interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities may differ from the
assumptions used in the model. As of March 31, 1998 the model produced the
following sensitivity profile for net interest income and the fair value
capital:

% Change in Net Interest Income                     9.80%             (11.6%)             +/-25%
% Change in Fair Value of Capital                   7.7%              (12.6%)             +/-15%
</TABLE>


Based on the composition of the Balance Sheet and the Current interest rate
environment the results of this simulation would not be materially different at
June 30, 1998.
