OLD LINE BANCSHARES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Organization and Description of Business - Old Line Bancshares, Inc. (“Old Line Bancshares”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on April 11, 2003 to serve as the holding company of Old Line Bank. The primary business of Old Line Bancshares is to own all of the capital stock of Old Line Bank. We provide a full range of banking services to customers located in Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Calvert, Carroll, Charles, Frederick, Montgomery, Prince George’s, and St. Mary’s Counties in Maryland and surrounding areas.
 
On September 27, 2017, Old Line Bancshares entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Bay Bancorp, Inc. (“BYBK”), the parent company of Bay Bank, FSB (“Bay Bank”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, upon the consummation of the merger, all outstanding shares of BYBK common stock will be exchanged for shares of common stock of Old Line Bancshares. Consummation of the merger is contingent upon the approval of Old Line Bancshares’ and BYBK’s stockholders as well as receipt of all necessary regulatory and third party approvals and consents. We expect the merger to close during the second quarter of 2018. At June 30, 2017, BYBK had consolidated assets of approximately $646 million. Bay Bank has 11 banking locations located in its primary market areas of Baltimore, Anne Arundel, Howard and Harford Counties in Maryland.
 
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation   - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the activity of Old Line Bancshares and its wholly owned subsidiary, Old Line Bank, and Old Line Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary Pointer Ridge Office Investments, LLC (Pointer Ridge), a real estate investment company. We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions and balances.
 
The foregoing consolidated financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), however, in the opinion of management we have included all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. We derived the balances as of December 31, 2016 from audited financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with Old Line Bancshares’ financial statements and accompanying notes included in Old Line Bancshares’ Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. We have made no significant changes to Old Line Bancshares’ accounting policies as disclosed in the Form 10-K.
 
Use of Estimates   - 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. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.
 
Reclassifications   - We have made certain reclassifications to the 2016 financial presentation to conform to the 2017 presentation. These reclassifications did not change net income or stockholders’ equity.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements   – In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principal of this ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The ASU allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. The ASU does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities that are accounted for under U.S. GAAP. This ASU will be effective for us in our first quarter of 2018.  Old Line Bancshares is continuing to assess its revenue streams and reviewing its contracts with customers that are potentially affected by the new guidance including fees on deposits, gains and losses on the sale of other real estate owned, credit and debit card interchange fees, and rental income, to determine the potential impact the new guidance is expected to have on Old Line Bancshares consolidated financial statements. However, Old Line Bancshares revenue recognition pattern for these revenue streams is not expected to change materially from current practice. In addition, Old Line Bancshares continues to follow implementation issues specific to financial institutions which are still under discussion by the FASB’s Transition Resource Group. Old Line Bancshares is currently planning to adopt the ASU on January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective approach. Old Line Bancshares does not expect the ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities , which is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments by: requiring equity investments (other than equity method or consolidation) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; requiring public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; eliminating the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for organizations that are not public business entities; eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; and requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. This ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU permits early adoption of the instrument-specific credit risk provision. This ASU will be effective for us in our first quarter of 2018. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. We will monitor any new developments and additional guidance for this ASU.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,  Leases (Topic 842) . The FASB issued this ASU to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of this ASU is permitted for all entities. This ASU will be effective for us in our first quarter of 2019. Old Line Bancshares is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its financial condition and results of operations and will closely monitor any new developments or additional guidance to determine the potential impact the new standard will on have on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718 ): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09 ”), which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017 did not impact Old Line Bancshares’ consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2016 , the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,  which  sets forth a “current expected credit loss” ("CECL") model requiring Old Line Bancshares to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filers, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Old Line Bancshares has implemented a committee and has the responsibility to gather loan information and consider acceptable methodologies to comply with this ASU. The implementation team meets periodically to discuss the latest developments and updates via webcasts, publications, and conferences. Old Line Bancshares’ evaluation indicates that the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 are expected to impact its consolidated financial statements, in particular the level of the reserve for loan losses. We are, however, continuing to evaluate the extent of the potential impact.
 
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows.  The amendments provide guidance on the following nine specific cash flow issues:  1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; 2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; 3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; 4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; 5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned; 6) life insurance policies; 7) distributions received from equity method investees; 8) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and 9) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle.  The amendments are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Old Line Bancshares is currently evaluating the impact of adopting these amendments on its consolidated financial statements, but the adoption is not expected to have a significant impact as of the filing of this report.
 
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) : Clarifying the definition of a business , which clarifies the definition of a business and assists entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under this guidance, when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business. In addition, in order to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include at a minimum an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output. The amended guidance also narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in FASB guidance for revenue recognition. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods for Old Line Bancshares on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Old Line Bancshares does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. As a result, under the ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Old Line Bancshares does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. This ASU shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. Today, entities generally amortize the premium over the contractual life of the security. The new guidance does not change the accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. ASU No. 2017-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The guidance calls for a modified retrospective transition approach under which a cumulative-effect adjustment will be made to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. Old Line Bancshares is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2017-08 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This ASU’s objectives are to: (1) improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity’s risk management activities by better aligning the entity’s financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities; and (2) reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers. ASU No. 2017-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. Old Line Bancshares currently does not designate any derivative financial instruments as formal hedging relationships, and therefore, does not utilize hedge accounting. However, Old Line Bancshares is currently evaluating this ASU to determine whether its provisions will enhance Old Line Bancshares ability to employ risk management strategies, while improving the transparency and understanding of those strategies for financial statement users.

ACQUISITION OF DCB BANCSHARES, INC.
 
On July 28, 2017, Old Line Bancshares acquired DCB Bancshares, Inc. (“DCB”), the parent company of Damascus Community Bank (“Damascus”). Upon the consummation of the merger, each share of common stock of DCB outstanding immediately before the merger was converted into the right to receive 0.9269 shares of Old Line Bancshares’ common stock, provided that cash was paid in lieu of any fractional shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock. As a result, Old Line Bancshares issued 1,495,090 shares of its common stock in exchange for the shares of DCB common stock in the merger. The aggregate merger consideration was approximately $40.9 million based on the closing sales price of Old Line Bancshares’ common stock on July 28, 2017.
 
In connection with the merger, Damascus merged with and into Old Line Bank, with Old Line Bank the surviving bank.
 
At July 28, 2017, DCB had consolidated assets of approximately $311 million. This merger added six banking locations located in Montgomery, Frederick and Carroll Counties in Maryland.
 
The acquired assets and assumed liabilities of DCB were measured at estimated fair value. Management made significant estimates and exercised significant judgement in accounting for the acquisition of DCB. Management judgmentally assigned risk ratings to loans based on appraisals and estimated collateral values, expected cash flows, prepayment speeds and estimated loss factors to measure fair value for loans. Management used quoted or current market prices to determine the fair value of DCB’s investment securities.
 
The following table provides the purchase price as of the acquisition date and the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values.

The following pro forma information combines the historical results of Old Line Bancshares and pre-merger DCB.  The pro forma financial information does not include the potential impacts of possible business model changes, current market conditions, revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies, or other factors.   The pro forma results exclude the impact merger-related expenses of $4.0 million.  While adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments, the following results are not indicative of what would have occurred had the DCB acquisition taken place on indicated dates.
 
If the DCB acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2017, net interest income would have been approximately $17.4 million and $51.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.  Net income would have been approximately $2.0 million and $10.8 million for the same three and nine month periods.
 
If the DCB acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2016, net interest income would have been approximately $15.8 million and $45.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.  Net income would have been approximately $3.8 million and $9.5 million for the same three and nine month periods.
 
The disclosure of DCB’s post-DCB merger, net interest income, and net income is not practicable due to the integration of operations shortly after the DCB merger. Additionally, Old Line Bancshares expects to achieve further operational cost savings and other efficiencies as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the unaudited pro forma amounts.
 
The following is an outline of the expenses that we have incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2017 in conjunction with the DCB merger.

POINTER RIDGE OFFICE INVESTMENT, LLC
 
We currently own 100% of Pointer Ridge and we have consolidated its results of operations from the date of acquisition. In August 2016, Old Line Bank purchased the remaining aggregate 37.5% minority interest in Pointer Ridge not held by Old Line Bancshares and on September 2, 2016, we paid off the entire $5.8 million principal amount of a promissory note previously issued by Pointer Ridge. On September 28, 2017, Old Line Bancshares transferred and assigned its ownership interest in Pointer Ridge to Old Line Bank, and as a result Old Line Bank acquired all rights, title and interest in Pointer Ridge.
 
Pointer Ridge owns our headquarters building located at 1525 Pointer Ridge Place, Bowie, Maryland, containing approximately 40,000 square feet. We lease 98% of this building for our main office and operate a branch of Old Line Bank from this address.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had 67 and 7 investment securities, respectively, in an unrealized loss position greater than the 12 month time frame and 69 and 166 securities, respectively, in an unrealized loss position less than the 12 month time frame.  We consider all unrealized losses on securities as of September 30, 2017 to be temporary losses because we will redeem each security at face value at or prior to maturity. We have the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery or maturity. As of September 30, 2017, we do not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale and believe that it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. In most cases, market interest rate fluctuations cause a temporary impairment in value. We expect the fair value to recover as the investments approach their maturity date or re-pricing date or if market yields for these investments decline. We do not believe that credit quality caused the impairment in any of these securities. Because we believe these impairments are temporary, we have not realized any loss in our consolidated statement of income.
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we received $45.8 million in proceeds from sales, maturities or calls and principal pay-downs on investment securities for a net gain of $0. The net proceeds of these transactions were used to pay down our Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) borrowings and purchase new investment securities. We acquired a total of $42.3 million investment portfolio as a result of the DCB merger. The securities sold included $41.8 million of securities that we acquired in the DCB merger and sold immediately after the closing of the merger, resulting in no gain or loss on such sales. During the three month period ended September 30, 2016, we received proceeds of $35.1 million from sales, maturities or calls and principal pay-downs on investment securities. Such transactions consisted of 22 mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) pools and two municipal bonds, resulting in realized gains of $326 thousand. We used all the net proceeds of these transactions to purchase new investment securities during the three months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we received $72.5 million in proceeds from sales, maturities or calls and principal pay-downs on investment securities, and realized gains of $164 thousand and losses of $129 thousand for total realized net gain of $35 thousand. We used the net proceeds of these transactions to re-balance our investment portfolio, which resulted in an overall slightly higher yield on our security investments. We acquired a total of $42.3 million investment portfolio as a result of the DCB merger. As with the three month period, the securities sold included $41.8 million of securities that we acquired in the DCB merger and sold immediately after the closing of the merger, resulting in no gain or loss on such sales. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, we received $130.5 million in proceeds from sales, maturities or calls and principal pay-downs on investment securities and realized gains of $1.3 million and losses of $92 thousand for total realized net gain of $1.2 million. We used the proceeds of these transactions for re-investment in our investment portfolio to increase the yield on such investments.
Contractual maturities and pledged securities at September 30, 2017 are shown below. Actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties. We classify MBS based on maturity date. However, we receive payments on a monthly basis.

As a result of the acquisitions of Maryland Bankcorp, Inc. (“Maryland Bankcorp”), the parent company of Maryland Bank & Trust Company, N.A. (“MB&T”), in April 2011, WSB Holdings Inc., the parent company of The Washington Savings Bank (“WSB”), in May 2013, Regal Bancorp, Inc. (“Regal”), the parent company of Regal Bank & Trust (“Regal Bank), in December 2015 and DCB, the parent company of Damascus in July 2017, we have segmented the portfolio into two components, “Legacy” loans originated by Old Line Bank and “Acquired” loans acquired from MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank and Damascus.
Credit Policies and Administration
 
We have adopted a comprehensive lending policy, which includes stringent underwriting standards for all types of loans. We have designed our underwriting standards to promote a complete banking relationship rather than a transactional relationship. In an effort to manage risk, prior to funding, the loan committee consisting of the Executive Officers and seven members of the Board of Directors must approve by a majority vote all credit decisions in excess of a lending officer’s lending authority.
 
Management believes that it employs experienced lending officers, secures appropriate collateral and carefully monitors the financial condition of its borrowers and loan concentrations.
 
In addition to the internal business processes employed in the credit administration area, Old Line Bank retains an outside independent firm to review the loan portfolio. This firm performs a detailed annual review and an interim update. We use the results of the firm’s report to validate our internal ratings and we review the commentary on specific loans and on our loan administration activities in order to improve our operations.
 
Commercial Real Estate Loans
 
We finance commercial real estate for our clients, for owner occupied and investment properties, hospitality and land acquisition and development. Commercial real estate loans totaled $1.1 billion and $953.9 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. This lending has involved loans secured by owner-occupied commercial buildings for office, storage and warehouse space, as well as non-owner occupied commercial buildings. Our underwriting criteria for commercial real estate loans include maximum loan-to-value ratios, debt coverage ratios, secondary sources of repayments, guarantor requirements, net worth requirements and quality of cash flows. Loans secured by commercial real estate may be large in size and may involve a greater degree of risk than one-to-four family residential mortgage loans. Payments on such loans are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties. We will generally finance owner occupied commercial real estate that does not exceed loan to value of 80% and investor real estate at a maximum loan to value of 75%.
 
Commercial real estate lending entails significant risks. Risks inherent in managing our commercial real estate portfolio relate to sudden or gradual drops in property values as well as changes in the economic climate that may detrimentally impact the borrower’s ability to repay. We monitor the financial condition and operating performance of the borrower through a review of annual tax returns and updated financial statements. In addition, we meet with the borrower and/or perform site visits as required.
 
At September 30, 2017, we had approximately $171.7 million of commercial real estate loans outstanding to the hospitality industry. An individual review of these loans indicates that they generally have a low loan to value, more than acceptable existing or projected cash flow, are to experienced operators and are generally dispersed throughout the region.
 
Residential Real Estate Loans
 
We offer a variety of consumer oriented residential real estate loans including home equity lines of credit, home improvement loans and first or second mortgages on owner occupied and investment properties. Our residential loan portfolio amounted to $319.8 million and $265.2 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Although most of these loans are in our market area, the diversity of the individual loans in the portfolio reduces our potential risk. Usually, we secure our residential real estate loans with a security interest in the borrower’s primary or secondary residence with a loan to value not exceeding 85%. Our initial underwriting includes an analysis of the borrower’s debt/income ratio which generally may not exceed 43%, collateral value, length of employment and prior credit history. A credit score of 660 is required. We do not originate any subprime residential real estate loans.
 
This segment of our portfolio also consists of funds advanced for construction of custom single family residences homes (where the home buyer is the borrower) and financing to builders for the construction of pre-sold homes and multi-family housing. These loans generally have short durations, meaning maturities typically of twelve months or less. Old Line Bank limits its construction lending risk through adherence to established underwriting procedures. These loans generally have short durations, meaning maturities typically of twelve months or less. Residential houses, multi-family dwellings and commercial buildings under construction and the underlying land for which the loan was obtained secure the construction loans. The vast majority of these loans are concentrated in our market area.
Construction lending also entails significant risk. These risks generally involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers with funds advanced upon the security of the land or the project under construction. An appraisal of the property estimates the value of the project “as is and as if” completed. An appraisal of the property estimates the value of the project prior to completion of construction. Thus, initial funds are advanced based on the current value of the property with the remaining construction funds advanced under a budget sufficient to successfully complete the project within the “as completed” loan to value. To further mitigate the risks, we generally limit loan amounts to 80% or less of appraised values and obtain first lien positions on the property.
 
We generally only offer real estate construction financing only to experienced builders, commercial entities or individuals who have demonstrated the ability to obtain a permanent loan “take-out” (conversion to a permanent mortgage upon completion of the project). We also perform a complete analysis of the borrower and the project under construction. This analysis includes a review of the cost to construct, the borrower’s ability to obtain a permanent “take-out” the cash flow available to support the debt payments and construction costs in excess of loan proceeds, and the value of the collateral. During construction, we advance funds on these loans on a percentage of completion basis. We inspect each project as needed prior to advancing funds during the term of the construction loan. We may provide permanent financing on the same projects for which we have provided the construction financing.
 
We also offer fixed rate home improvement loans. Our home equity and home improvement loan portfolio gives us a diverse client base. Although most of these loans are in our market area, the diversity of the individual loans in the portfolio reduces our potential risk. Usually, we secure our home equity loans and lines of credit with a security interest in the borrower’s primary or secondary residence.
 
Under our loan approval policy, all residential real estate loans approved must comply with federal regulations. Generally, we will make residential mortgage loans in amounts up to the limits established by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for secondary market resale purposes. Currently this amount for single-family residential loans currently varies from $424,100 up to a maximum of $636,150 for certain high-cost designated areas. We also make residential mortgage loans up to limits established by the Federal Housing Administration, which currently is $636,150. The Washington, D.C. and Baltimore areas are both considered high-cost designated areas. We will, however, make loans in excess of these amounts if we believe that we can sell the loans in the secondary market or that the loans should be held in our portfolio. For loans sold in the secondary market, we typically require a credit score or 640, with some exceptions provided we receive an approval recommendation from FannieMae, FreddieMac or the Federal Housing Administration’s automated underwriting approval system.  For Veteran Administration loans, we require a minimum score of 620.  Loans sold in the secondary market are sold to investors on a servicing released basis and recorded as loans as held-for-sale.  The premium is recorded in income on marketable loans in non-interest income, net of commissions paid to the loan officers.
 
 
Commercial and Industrial Lending
 
Our commercial and industrial lending consists of lines of credit, revolving credit facilities, accounts receivable financing, term loans, equipment loans, Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, standby letters of credit and unsecured loans. We originate commercial loans for any business purpose including the financing of leasehold improvements and equipment, the carrying of accounts receivable, general working capital, and acquisition activities. We have a diverse client base and we do not have a concentration of these types of loans in any specific industry segment. We generally secure commercial business loans with accounts receivable, equipment, deeds of trust and other collateral such as marketable securities, cash value of life insurance and time deposits at Old Line Bank.
Commercial business loans have a higher degree of risk than residential mortgage loans because the availability of funds for repayment generally depends on the success of the business. They may also involve high average balances, increased difficulty monitoring and a high risk of default. To help manage this risk, we typically limit these loans to proven businesses and we generally obtain appropriate collateral and personal guarantees from the borrower’s principal owners and monitor the financial condition of the business. For loans in excess of $250,000, monitoring generally includes a review of the borrower’s annual tax returns and updated financial statements.
 
Consumer Installment Lending
 
We offer various types of secured and unsecured consumer loans. We make consumer loans for personal, family or household purposes as a convenience to our customer base. Consumer loans, however, are not a focus of our lending activities. The underwriting standards for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant’s payment history on other debts and an assessment of his or her ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. As a general guideline, a consumer’s total debt service should not exceed 40% of his or her gross income.
 
Consumer loans may present greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans because many consumer loans are unsecured or rapidly depreciating assets secure these loans. Repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance because of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. Consumer loan collections depend on the borrower’s continuing financial stability. If a borrower suffers personal financial difficulties, the consumer may not repay the loan. Also, various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount we can recover on such loans.
 
Concentrations of Credit
 
Most of our lending activity occurs within the state of Maryland within the suburban Washington, D.C. market area in Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Montgomery, Prince George’s and St. Mary’s Counties. The majority of our loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate loans and residential real estate loans. We also have a presence in Baltimore County and Carroll County, Maryland due to the Regal acquisition.
 
Non-Accrual and Past Due Loans
 
We consider loans past due if the borrower has not paid the required principal and interest payments when due under the original or modified terms of the promissory note and place a loan on non-accrual status when the payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due. When we classify a loan as non-accrual, we no longer accrue interest on such loan and we reverse any interest previously accrued but not collected. We will generally restore a non-accrual loan to accrual status when the borrower brings delinquent principal and interest payments current and we expect to collect future monthly principal and interest payments. We recognize interest on non-accrual legacy loans only when received. We originally recorded purchased, credit-impaired loans at fair value upon acquisition, and an accretable yield is established and recognized as interest income on purchased loans to the extent subsequent cash flows support the estimated accretable yield. Purchased, credit-impaired loans that perform consistently with the accretable yield expectations are not reported as non-accrual or nonperforming. However, purchased, credit-impaired loans that do not continue to perform according to accretable yield expectations are considered impaired, and presented as non-accrual and nonperforming. Currently, management expects to fully collect the carrying value of acquired, credit-impaired loans.

We consider all nonperforming loans and troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) to be impaired. We do not recognize interest income on nonperforming loans during the time period that the loans are nonperforming. We only recognize interest income on nonperforming loans when we receive payment in full for all amounts due of all contractually required principle and interest, and the loan is current with its contractual terms. The tables below present our impaired loans at and for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Generally accepted accounting principles require that we record acquired loans at fair value at acquisition, which includes a discount for loans with credit impairment. These purchased credit impaired loans are not performing according to their contractual terms and meet the definition of an impaired loan. Although we do not accrue interest income at the contractual rate on these loans, we do recognize an accretable yield as interest income to the extent such yield is supported by cash flow analysis of the underlying loans.

We consider a loan a TDR when we conclude that both of the following conditions exist: the restructuring constitutes a concession and the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. Restructured loans at September 30, 2017 consisted of seven loans for $2.7 million compared to seven loans at December 31, 2016 for $897 thousand.
We had no loan modifications reported as TDR's for three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The following table includes the recorded investment in and number of modifications of TDRs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. We report the recorded investment in loans prior to a modification and also the recorded investment in the loans after the loans were restructured. Reductions in the recorded investment are primarily due to the partial charge-off of the principal balance prior to the modification. We had no loans that were modified as a TDR that defaulted within the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 or 2016.

For our acquisition of Damascus on July 28, 2017, we recorded all loans acquired at the estimated fair value on their purchase date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. On the acquisition date, we segregated the loan portfolio into two loan pools, performing and non-performing.
 
We had an independent third party determine the net discounted value of cash flows on 5,022 performing loans totaling $218.9 million. The valuation took into consideration the loans’ underlying characteristics including account types, remaining terms, annual interest rates, interest types, past delinquencies, timing of principal and interest payments, current market rates, loan-to-value ratios, loss exposures, and remaining balances. These performing loans were segregated into pools based on loan and payment type and in some cases, risk grade. The effect of this fair valuation process was a net discount of $158 thousand at acquisition. We then adjusted these values for inherent credit risk within each pool, which resulted in a total credit adjustment of $2.6 million.
 
We also individually evaluated two impaired loans totaling $116 thousand to determine their fair value as of the July 28, 2017 measurement date. In determining the fair value for each individually evaluated impaired loan, we considered a number of factors including the remaining life of the acquired loans, estimated prepayments, estimated loss ratios, estimated value of the underlying collateral and net present value of cash flows we expect to receive, among others.
 
We established a credit related non-accretable difference of $93 thousand relating to these purchased credit impaired loans, reflected in the recorded fair value. We further estimated the timing and amount of expected cash flows in excess of the estimated fair value and established an accretable discount of $2 thousand on the acquisition date relating to those impaired loans.
 
The following table outlines the contractually required payments receivable, cash flows we expect to receive, non-accretable credit adjustment and the accretable yield for all Damascus impaired loans as of the acquisition date, July 28, 2017.

Credit Quality Indicators
 
We review the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly. We base the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses upon loan categories. We categorize loans as residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial loans and consumer loans. We further divide commercial real estate loans by owner occupied, investment, hospitality and land acquisition and development. We also divide residential real estate by owner occupied, investment, land acquisition and development and junior liens. All categories are divided by risk rating and loss factors and weighed by risk rating to determine estimated loss amounts. We evaluate delinquent loans and loans for which management has knowledge about possible credit problems of the borrower or knowledge of problems with collateral separately and assign loss amounts based upon the evaluation.
We determine loss ratios for all loans based upon a review of the three year loss ratio for the category and qualitative factors.
 
We charge off loans that management has identified as losses. We consider suggestions from our external loan review firm and bank examiners when determining which loans to charge off. We automatically charge off consumer loan accounts based on regulatory requirements. We partially charge off real estate loans that are collateral dependent based on the value of the collateral.
 
If a loan that was previously rated a pass performing loan, from our acquisitions, deteriorates subsequent to the acquisition, the subject loan will be assessed for risk and, if necessary, evaluated for impairment. If the risk assessment rating is adversely changed and the loan is determined to not be impaired, the loan will be placed in a migration category and the credit mark established for the loan will be compared to the general reserve allocation that would be applied using the current allowance for loan losses formula for General Reserves. If the credit mark exceeds the allowance for loan losses formula for General Reserves, there will be no change to the allowance for loan losses. If the credit mark is less than the current allowance for loan losses formula for General Reserves, the allowance for loan losses will be increased by the amount of the shortfall by a provision recorded in the income statement. If the loan is deemed impaired, the loan will be subject to evaluation for loss exposure and a specific reserve. If the estimate of loss exposure exceeds the credit mark, the allowance for loan losses will be increased by the amount of the excess loss exposure through a provision. If the credit mark exceeds the estimate of loss exposure there will be no change to the allowance for loan losses. If a loan from the acquired loan portfolio is carrying a specific credit mark and a current evaluation determines that there has been an increase in loss exposure, the allowance for loan losses will be increased by the amount of the current loss exposure in excess of the credit mark.

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED
 
At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of other real estate owned was $2.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively. As a result of the acquisitions of MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank and Damascus, we have segmented the other real estate owned (“OREO”) into two components, real estate obtained as a result of loans originated by Old Line Bank (legacy) and other real estate acquired from MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank and Damascus or obtained as a result of loans originated by MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank and Damascus (acquired). Hoever, we did not acquire any OREO properties with the DCB acquisition. We are currently aggressively either marketing these properties for sale or improving them in preparation for sale.
 
The following outlines the transactions in OREO during the period.

Residential Foreclosures and Repossessed Assets  — Once all potential alternatives for reinstatement are exhausted, past due loans collateralized by residential real estate are referred for foreclosure proceedings in accordance with local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. Once possession of the property collateralizing the loan is obtained, the repossessed property will be recorded within other assets either as other real estate owned or, where management has both the intent and ability to recover its losses through a government guarantee, as a foreclosure claim receivable. At September 30, 2017, residential foreclosures classified as other real estate owned totaled $966 thousand. We had $280 thousand secured by residential real estate in process of foreclosure at September 30, 2017 compared to $99 thousand at December 31, 2016.
 
 
7. 
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
 
We determine basic earnings per common share by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding giving retroactive effect to stock dividends.
We calculate diluted earnings per common share by including the average dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options, calculated using the treasury stock method.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $187,904 and $147,649, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $449,935 and $262,080, respectively. At September 30, 2017, there was $1.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options and restricted stock awards that we expect to realize over the next 2.5 years. As of September 30, 2017, there were 291,448 shares remaining available for future issuance under the 2010 equity incentive plan. The officers exercised 14,300 options during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to 20,053 options exercised during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.
 
For purposes of determining estimated fair value of stock options, we have computed the estimated fair values using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and, for stock options granted prior to December 31, 2016, have applied the assumptions set forth in Old Line Bancshares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.  There were no stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 58,927 stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  The weighted average grant date fair value of the 2016 stock options is $5.38 and was computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model under similar assumptions.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we granted 40,713 and 36,461 restricted common stock awards, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of these restricted stock awards is $28.23 at September 30, 2017. There were no restricted shares forfeited during the nine month periods ending September 30, 2017 or 2016.
 
9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
 
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that participants would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability, or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (1) independent, (2) knowledgeable, (3) able to transact and (4) willing to transact.
 
The fair value hierarchy established by accounting standards defines three input levels for fair value measurement. The applicable standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 is based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 is based on significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices. Level 3 is based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumption that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. We evaluate fair value measurement inputs on an ongoing basis in order to determine if there is a change of sufficient significance to warrant a transfer between levels. There were no transfers between levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 or the year ended December 31, 2016.
 
At September 30, 2017, we hold, as part of our investment portfolio, available for sale securities reported at fair value consisting of municipal securities, U.S. government sponsored entities, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. The fair value of the majority of these securities is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including matrix pricing and broker-quote based applications. Inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, prepayments speeds and other relevant items. These are inputs used by a third-party pricing service used by us.
 
To validate the appropriateness of the valuations provided by the third party, we regularly update the understanding of the inputs used and compare valuations to an additional third party source. We classify all our investment securities available for sale in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, with the exception of treasury securities that fall into Level 1 and our corporate bonds, which fall into Level 3.

Our valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes our methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value. Furthermore, we have not comprehensively revalued the fair value amounts since the presentation dates, and therefore, estimates of fair value after the balance sheet date may differ significantly from the above presented amounts.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
 
We may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are included in the tables below.
 
We also measure certain non-financial assets such as other real estate owned, TDRs, and repossessed or foreclosed property at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Generally, we estimate the fair value of these items using Level 2 inputs based on observable market data or Level 3 inputs based on discounting criteria.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we estimated the fair value of impaired assets using Level 3 inputs to be $8.3 million and $10.8 million, respectively. We determined these Level 3 inputs based on appraisal evaluations, offers to purchase and/or appraisals that we obtained from an outside third party during the preceding twelve months less costs to sell. Discounts have predominantly been in the range of 0% to 50%. As a result of the acquisitions of Maryland Bankcorp, WSB Holdings, Regal and DCB, we have segmented the OREO into two components, real estate obtained as a result of loans originated by Old Line Bank (legacy) and other real estate acquired from MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank and Damascus or obtained as a result of loans originated by MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank and Damascus (acquired).
 
 
We use the following methodologies for estimating fair values of financial instruments that we do not measure on a recurring basis. The estimated fair values of financial instruments equal the carrying value of the instruments except as noted.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents - For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments.
 
Loans- We estimate the fair value of loans, segregated by type based on similar financial characteristics, by discounting future cash flows using current rates for which we would make similar loans to borrowers with similar credit histories. We then adjust this calculated amount for any credit impairment.
 
Loans held for Sale- Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The fair values of loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors within the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics.
 
Investment Securities- We base the fair values of investment securities upon quoted market prices or dealer quotes.
 
Equity Securities- Equity securities are considered restricted stock and are carried at cost that approximates fair value.
 
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable- The carrying amount of accrued interest and dividends receivable on loans and investments and payable on borrowings and deposits approximate their fair values.
 
Interest bearing deposits- The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand. We estimate the fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
Non-Interest bearing deposits- The fair value of non-interest bearing accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.
 
Long and short term borrowings- The fair value of long and short term fixed rate borrowings is estimated by discounting the value of contractual cash flows using rates currently offered for advances with similar terms and remaining maturities.
 
Off-balance Sheet Commitments and Contingencies- Carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of the fair values for such financial instruments. Carrying amounts include unamortized fee income and, in some cases, reserves for any credit losses from those financial instruments. These amounts are not material to our financial position.
 
Under ASC Topic 825, entities may choose to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value at specified election dates. The fair value measurement option: (1) may be applied instrument by instrument, with certain exceptions; (2) is generally irrevocable; and (3) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. We must report in earnings unrealized gains and losses on items for which we have elected the fair value measurement option at each subsequent reporting date. We measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets and liabilities are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances such as when there is evidence of impairment.

SHORT TERM BORROWINGS
 
Short term borrowings consist of promissory notes or overnight repurchase agreements sold to Old Line Bank’s customers, federal funds purchased and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.
 
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
 
To support the $37.2 million in repurchase agreements at September 30, 2017, we have provided collateral in the form of investment securities. At September 30, 2017, we have pledged $56.8 million in U.S. government agency securities and mortgage-backed securities to customers who require collateral for overnight repurchase agreements and deposits. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are stated at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. As a result, there is no offsetting or netting of the investment securities assets with the repurchase agreement liabilities. We monitor collateral levels on a continuous basis. We may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities in the event the collateral fair value falls below stipulated levels. We closely monitor the collateral levels to ensure adequate levels are maintained. Securities pledged as collateral under repurchase agreements are maintained with our safekeeping agents. We have the right to sell or re-pledge the investment securities. For government entity repurchase agreements, the collateral is held by Old Line Bank in a segregated custodial account under a tri-party agreement. The repurchase agreements totaling $37.2 million mature daily and will remain fully collateralized until the account has been closed or terminated.

Overview
 
Old Line Bancshares was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on April 11, 2003 to serve as the holding company of Old Line Bank.
 
On April 1, 2011, we acquired Maryland Bankcorp, Inc. (“Maryland Bankcorp”), the parent company of Maryland Bank & Trust Company, N.A (“MB&T”), on May 10, 2013, we acquired WSB Holdings, Inc. (“WSB Holdings”), the parent company of The Washington Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“WSB”), on December 4, 2015, we acquired Regal Bancorp, Inc. (“Regal”), the parent company of Regal Bank & Trust (“Regal Bank”), and on July 28, 2017, we acquired DCB Bancshares, Inc. (“DCB”), the parent company of Damascus Community Bank (“Damascus”). Following our latest acquisition, we have assets of approximately $2.1 billion and 28 full service branches serving nine Maryland counties.
 
Summary of Recent Performance and Other Activities
 
Net income available to common stockholders decreased $1.4 million, or 38.94%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $3.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2016. Earnings were $0.18 per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $0.33 per basic share and $0.32 per diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Net income included $4.0 million in merger-related expenses (or $0.24 per basic and diluted common share) in connection with the Company’s acquisition of DCB in July 2017. Excluding the merger-related expenses, adjusted operating earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, increased $2.9 million, or 57.30% to $5.1 million, or $0.42 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2017.
 
Net income available to common stockholders was $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $8.8 million for the same period last year, an increase of $1.3 million, or 14.52%. Earnings were $0.90 per basic and $0.88 per diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $0.82 per basic and $0.80 per diluted common share for the same period last year. The increase in net income is primarily the result of an increase of $6.0 million, or 15.31%, in net interest income, partially offset by a $683 thousand decrease in non-interest income and a $3.1 million increase in non-interest expenses. Included in net income for the 2017 period was $4.0 million ($2.9 million net of taxes, or $0.25 per basic and diluted common share) of merger-related expenses associated with the acquisition of DCB as discussed above. Included in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $661 thousand ($530 thousand net of taxes, or $0.04 per basic and $.05 per diluted common share) of merger-related expenses associated with the acquisition of Regal Bancorp consummated in December 2015. Excluding the merger-related expenses, adjusted earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 increased $3.7 million, or 39.08% to $13.0 million, or $1.15 per basic and $1.13 per diluted share compared to $0.86 per basic and $0.85 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
 
The following highlights contain additional financial data and events that have occurred during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017:
 
The merger with DCB became effective on July 28, 2017 resulting in total assets of $2.1 billion at September 30, 2017.
 
Net loans held for investment increased $219.9 million, or 15.20%, and $305.3 million, or 22.44%, respectively, during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, bringing the balance to $1.7 billion at September 30, 2017 compared to $1.4 billion at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The increase is a result of the acquisition of DCB and, to a lesser extent, organic growth. Excluding the DCB acquisition, net loans held for investment during the three and nine month periods grew $10.0 million and $95.4 million, respectively, due to organic growth. The acquisition of the Damascus loan portfolio accounted for approximately $210.0 million of our loan portfolio at September 30, 2017.
 
Average gross loans increased $329.3 million, or 25.90%, and $255.4 million, or 20.95%, respectively, during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, to $1.6 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increases during the 2017 periods compared to the same periods last year are the result of the acquisition of DCB and organic growth.
 
Nonperforming assets decreased to a 10 year low of 0.19% of total assets at September 30, 2017 from 0.59% at December 31, 2016.
 
Total assets increased $352.2 million, or 20.61%, since December 31, 2016, with the DCB acquisition accounting for $232.8 million of such increase.
 
The net interest margin during the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 3.71% compared to 3.73% for the same period in 2016. Total yield on interest earning assets increased to 4.37% for the three months ending September 30, 2017, compared to 4.27% for the same period last year. Interest expense as a percentage of total interest-bearing liabilities was 0.89% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 0.71% for the same period of 2016.
 
The net interest margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 3.68% compared to 3.81% for the same period in 2016. Total yield on interest earning assets increased to 4.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 4.30% for the same period last year. Interest expense as a percentage of total interest-bearing liabilities was 0.87% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 0.64% for the same period of 2016.
 
The third quarter Return on Average Assets (“ROAA”) and Return on Average Equity (“ROAE”) were 0.43% and 4.26%, respectively, compared to ROAA and ROAE of 0.88% and 9.37%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2016. Excluding the merger-related expenses (non-GAAP financial measure), ROAA and ROAE would have been 1.01% and 9.98% for the third quarter of 2017.
 
ROAA and ROAE were 0.73% and 7.52%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to ROAA and ROAE of 0.75% and 8.02%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Excluding the merger-related expense (non-GAAP financial measure), ROAA and ROAE would have been 0.94% and 9.68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 0.80% and 8.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
 
Total deposits grew by $328.8 million, or 24.80%, since December 31, 2016. The DCB acquisition provided approximately $278.0 million in deposits while new organic deposits were approximately $50.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
 
We ended the third quarter of 2017 with a book value of $16.31 per common share and a tangible book value of $13.77 per common share compared to $13.81 and $12.59, respectively, at December 31, 2016.
 
We maintained appropriate levels of liquidity and by all regulatory measures remained “well capitalized.”
 
The following summarizes the highlights of our financial performance for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 compared to same periods in 2016 (figures in the table may not match those discussed in the balance of this section due to rounding).

Recent Acquisition
 
On July 28, 2017, Old Line Bancshares acquired DCB, the parent company of Damascus. Upon the consummation of the merger, each share of common stock of DCB outstanding immediately before the merger was converted into the right to receive 0.9269 shares of Old Line Bancshares’ common stock, provided that cash was paid in lieu of any fractional shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock. As a result, Old Line Bancshares issued 1,495,090 shares of its common stock in exchange for the shares of DCB common stock in the merger. The aggregate merger consideration was approximately $40.9 million based on the closing sales price of Old Line Bancshares’ common stock on July 28, 2017.
 
In connection with the merger, Damascus merged with and into Old Line Bank, with Old Line Bank the surviving bank.
 
At July 28, 2017, DCB had consolidated assets of approximately $311 million. This merger added six banking locations located in Montgomery, Frederick and Carroll Counties in Maryland.
 
The acquired assets and assumed liabilities of DCB were measured at estimated fair value. Management made significant estimates and exercised significant judgement in accounting for the acquisition of DCB. Management judgmentally assigned risk ratings to loans based on appraisals and estimated collateral values, expected cash flows, prepayment speeds and estimated loss factors to measure fair value for loans. Management used quoted or current market prices to determine the fair value of Damascus’ investment securities.
Pending Acquisition
 
On September 27, 2017, Old Line Bancshares entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Bay Bancorp, Inc. (“BYBK”), the parent company of Bay Bank, FSB (“Bay Bank”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, upon the consummation of the merger, all outstanding shares of BYBK common stock will be exchanged for shares of common stock of Old Line Bancshares. Consummation of the merger is contingent upon the approval of Old Line Bancshares’ and BYBK’s stockholders as well as receipt of all necessary regulatory and third party approvals and consents. We expect the merger to close during the second quarter of 2018. At June 30, 2017, BYBK had consolidated assets of approximately $646 million. Bay Bank has 11 banking locations located in its primary market areas of Baltimore, Anne Arundel, Howard and Harford Counties in Maryland.
 
Strategic Plan
 
We have based our strategic plan on the premise of enhancing stockholder value and growth through branching and operating profits. Our short term goals include continuing our strong pattern of organic loan and deposit growth, enhancing and maintaining credit quality, collecting payments on non-accrual and past due loans, profitably disposing of certain acquired loans and other real estate owned, maintaining an attractive branch network, expanding fee income, generating extensions of core banking services, and using technology to maximize stockholder value. During the past few years, we have expanded organically in Montgomery County, Prince George’s County and Anne Arundel County, Maryland and, pursuant to the Regal merger, by acquisition into Baltimore and Carroll Counties, Maryland. In addition, through the DCB merger, we have further expanded our presence in Montgomery and Carroll Counties and entered the Frederick County market.
 
We use the Internet and technology to augment our growth plans. Currently, we offer our customers image technology, Internet banking with online account access and bill pay service and mobile banking. We provide selected commercial customers the ability to remotely capture their deposits and electronically transmit them to us. We will continue to evaluate cost effective ways that technology can enhance our management capabilities, products and services.
 
We may continue to take advantage of strategic opportunities presented to us via mergers occurring in our marketplace. For example, we may purchase branches that other banks close or lease branch space from other banks or hire additional loan officers. We also continually evaluate and consider opportunities with financial services companies or institutions with which we may become a strategic partner, merge or acquire such as we have done with Maryland Bankcorp, WSB Holdings, Regal and DCB. We believe the recent DCB acquisition will generate increased earnings and increase returns for our stockholders, including the former stockholders of DCB.
 
Although the current interest rate and regulatory climate continues to present challenges for our industry, we have worked diligently towards our goal of becoming the premier community bank in Maryland. While we are uncertain about the pace of economic growth or the impact of the current political environment and the growing national debt, we remain cautiously optimistic that we have identified any problem assets, that our remaining borrowers will stay current on their loans and that we can continue to grow our balance sheet and earnings.
 
Although the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has started to slowly increase the federal funds rate since December 2015, interest rates are still at historically low levels, and if the economy remains stable, we believe that we can continue to grow total loans during the remainder of 2017 and during 2018 even with the additional expected incremental increases in the federal funds rate, which will increase market interest rates, and that we can continue to grow total deposits during the remainder of 2017 and during 2018 even with interest rates that are, and are expected to remain through 2017 and 2018, low by historical levels. As a result of this expected growth, we expect that net interest income will continue to increase during the remainder of 2017 and during 2018, although there can be no guarantee that this will be the case.
 
We also expect that salaries and benefits expenses and occupancy and equipment expenses will be higher for full-year 2017 than they were in 2016 as a result of the addition of the former Damascus employees and staff associated with our newly-opened branch in our Riverdale, Maryland, and the occupancy costs associated with the new Damascus and Riverdale branches, and that such expenses will continue to increase during 2018 as a result of including the former Damascus employees and Riverdale branch employees and branches during the full year and the addition of BYBK employees and branches upon consummation of the pending merger; such expenses may increase even further if we selectively take the opportunity to add more business development talent. We will continue to look for opportunities to reduce expenses as we did with the closing of three branches in 2016. We believe with our existing branches, our lending staff, our corporate infrastructure and our solid balance sheet and strong capital position, we can continue to focus our efforts on improving earnings per share and enhancing stockholder value.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assessments by management, and which could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. As discussed in Old Line Bancshares’ Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, we consider our critical accounting policies to be the allowance for loan losses, other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, business combinations and accounting for acquired loans. There has been no material changes in our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
 
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016.
 
Net Interest Income. Net interest income is the difference between income on interest earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets. Earning assets are comprised primarily of loans, investments, interest bearing deposits and federal funds sold. Cost of funds consists of interest paid on interest bearing deposits and other borrowings. Non-interest bearing deposits and capital are also funding sources. Changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and funding sources along with changes in associated interest rates determine changes in net interest income.
 
Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased $3.1 million, or 23.49%, to $16.5 million from $13.3 million for the same period in 2016. As outlined in detail in the Rate/Volume Variance Analysis, this increase was the result of an increase in total interest income, resulting primarily from an increase in the level of our average loans, partially offset by an increase in total interest expense resulting from an increase in the average rate on and, to a lesser extent, the average balance of, our interest-bearing liabilities, all as discussed further below. We continue to adjust the mix and volume of interest earning assets and liabilities on the balance sheet to maintain a relatively strong net interest margin.
 
              Total interest income increased $4.2 million, or 27.08%, to $19.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $15.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily as a result of a $3.8 million increase in interest and fees on loans. The increase in interest and fees on loans is almost entirely the result of a $329.3 million increase in the average balance of our loans for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 as a result of loans acquired in the DCB merger and, to a lesser extent, organic loan growth. The average yield on the loan portfolio increased slightly to 4.54% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 4.50% during the three months ended September 30, 2016 due to slightly higher yields on new commercial and consumer loans, partially offset by a six basis point decrease in the average rate on real estate loans due to lower average yield on real estate loans, which had a slight positive impact on interest and fees on loans income during the quarter. The fair value accretion/amortization on acquired loans affects interest income, primarily due to payoffs on such acquired loans. Payoffs during the three months ended September 30, 2017 contributed a five basis point increase in interest income, compared to two basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2016. In addition, a $323 thousand increase in interest earned on investment and other securities over the 2016 period also contributed to the increase in total interest income for the 2017 period. This increase was primarily related to increases in the average balances of our corporate bonds, U.S. government agency securities and municipal securities. The average yield on the investment portfolio increased to 3.07% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 2.72% during the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to higher yields on our corporate bonds and U.S. government agencies partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on our municipal securities.
 
             Total interest expense increased $1.0 million, or 51.00%, to $3.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $2.0 million for the same period in 2016, as a result of increases in the average rate paid on and, to a lesser extent, the average balance of, our interest bearing liabilities. The average interest rate paid on all interest bearing liabilities increased to 0.89% during the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 0.71% during the three months ended September 30, 2016, due to higher rates paid on our borrowings as well as on our money market and NOW accounts and our time deposits. The average rate on our borrowings increased primarily as a result of the inclusion of the subordinated notes we issued in August 2016 (the “Notes”) during the entire third quarter of 2017 compared to only part of the third quarter of 2016, as the interest rate we pay on the Notes is higher than the rate we typically pay on our other borrowings, and to a lesser extent, the average rate paid on our FHLB borrowings. The increase in the average rate paid on FHLB borrowings, money market and NOW accounts is the result of slightly higher rates due to the Federal Reserve rate increases.   The fair value accretion recorded on acquired deposits also affects interest expense. The benefit from accretion on such deposits was two basis point for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to one basis point for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
 
The average balance of our interest bearing liabilities increased $235.5 million, or 21.14%, to $1.3 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $1.1 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of increases of $180.3 million, or 18.75%, in our average interest bearing deposits and $55.2 million, or 36.28%, in our average borrowings quarter over quarter. The increase in our average interest bearing deposits is due to the deposits acquired in the DCB merger and, to a lesser extent, organic deposit growth The increase in our average borrowings is primarily due to the use of short-term FHLB advances to fund new loan originations and the $35 million of Notes we issued in August 2016.
 
Non-interest bearing deposits allow us to fund growth in interest earning assets at minimal cost. As a result of the growth generated primarily from our branch network and also from the efforts of our commercial loan officers in working with loan clients to move their commercial deposits to Old Line Bank, average non-interest bearing deposits increased $103.8 million to $430.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $326.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Included in average non-interest deposits is $75.9 million acquired in the DCB merger.
 
Our net interest margin decreased to 3.71% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 3.73% for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This decrease is primarily due to an 18 basis point increase in the average rate paid on our interest bearing liabilities, as discussed above, partially offset by a 10 basis point increase in the average yield on our interest earning assets, from 4.27% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 to 4.37% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, due primarily to the increases in the average yield on our investment portfolio and, to a lesser extent, the average yield on our loan portfolio.
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we continued to successfully collect payments on acquired loans that we had recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, which resulted in a positive impact in interest income. Total accretion increased by $189 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period last year. The higher level of accretion on acquired loans was due to a higher level of early payoffs on acquired loans with credit marks.
The accretion positively impacted the yield on loans and increased the net interest margin during these periods as follows:

Average Balances, Yields and Accretion of Fair Value Adjustments Impact . The following table illustrates average balances of total interest earning assets and total interest bearing liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, showing the average distribution of assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity and related income, expense and corresponding weighted average yields and rates. Non-accrual loans are included in total loan balances lowering the effective yield for the portfolio in the aggregate. The average balances used in this table and other statistical data were calculated using average daily balances.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $136 thousand, a decrease of $170 thousand, or 55.64%, compared to $306 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This decrease is due to an improvement in the balance of our non-performing loans.
 
Management identified additional probable losses in the loan portfolio and recorded $239 thousand in charge-offs during the three month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to charge-offs of $7 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Recoveries of $7 thousand were recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to recoveries of $35 thousand during the same period in 2016.
 
    The allowance for loan losses to gross loans held-for-investment was 0.35% and 0.45%, and the allowance for loan losses to non-accrual loans was 306.11% and 97.05%, at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans held for investment was the result of the improvement in our asset quality. The increase in the allowance for loan losses to non-accrual loans is primarily the result of the decrease in the balance of our non-accrual loans.
 
Non-interest Income . Non-interest income totaled $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $14 thousand, or 0.63%, from the corresponding period of 2016 amount of $2.1 million.
 
The following table outlines the amounts of and changes in non-interest income for the three month periods.

Non-interest income increased during the 2017 period primarily as a result of increases in other fees and commissions and service charges on deposit accounts, almost entirely offset by decreases in gain on sales or calls of investment securities and income on marketable loans.
 
    Other fees and commissions, which consists of loan fees paid up front upon origination of a loan or other credit arrangements (not amortized as part of the loan), and other miscellaneous fees, increased primarily as a result of recoveries of previously charged-off acquired loans. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts is primarily the result of the additional accounts acquired in the DCB merger.
 
              The decrease in gain on sales or calls of investment securities is the result of our re-positioning our investment portfolio during the 2016 period, pursuant to which we sold approximately $29.9 million of our lowest yielding, longer duration investments, compared to $45.8 million in sales and calls for the three months ended September 30, 2017, $41.8 million of which was acquired in the DCB merger and sold immediately after the closing of the merger, resulting in no gain or loss on such sales .
 
             Income on marketable loans consists of gain on the sale of residential mortgage loans originated for sale and any fees we receive in connection with such sales. Income on marketable loans decreased $300 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period last year primarily due to lower gains recorded on the sale of residential mortgage loans as a result of the lower volume of loans sold in the secondary market. The residential mortgage division originated loans aggregating $21.3 million in the secondary market during the third quarter of 2017 compared to $31.6 million for the same period last year.
 
Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $4.8 million, or 49.43%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Non-interest expenses increased quarter over quarter almost entirely as a result of increases in merger and integration expenses and, to a lesser extent, salaries and benefits, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period of 2016.
 
We incurred $4.0 million in merger and integration expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2017 in connection with the DCB acquisition compared to no merger and integration expenses during the same period last year. Included in merger and integration expenses is approximately $1.5 million in severance payments. Salaries and benefits increased by $503 thousand quarter over quarter primarily due to the additional staff acquired in the DCB merger.
 
Income Taxes. We had an income tax expense of $1.7 million (43.78% of pre-tax income) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to an income tax expense of $1.8 million (34.08% of pre-tax income) for the same period in 2016. The effective tax rate increased for the 2017 period due to an increase in the level of non-deductible expenses associated with the DCB acquisition as compared to the same period last year.
 
Net Income Available to Common Stockholders. Net income available to common stockholders was $2.2 million or $0.18 per basic and diluted common share for the three month period ending September 30, 2017 compared to $3.5 million, or $0.33 per basic and $0.32 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2016. The decrease in net income is primarily the result of the increase of $4.8 million in non-interest expenses, partially offset by an increase of $3.1 million in net interest income.
 
Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016.
 
Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $6.0 million, or 15.31%, to $44.9 million from $38.9 million for the same period in 2016. As outlined in detail in the Rate/Volume Variance Analysis, this increase was the result of an increase in total interest income, resulting from an increase in the level of our average loans, partially offset by an increase in total interest expense resulting from an increase in the average rate on and, to a lesser extent, the average balance of, our interest-bearing liabilities, all as discussed further below.
 
              Total interest income increased $9.1 million, or 20.56%, to $53.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $44.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily as a result of an $8.3 million increase in interest and fees on loans. The increase in interest and fees on loans is the result of a $255.4 million increase in the average balance of our loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of organic loan growth and, to a lesser extent, the loans acquired in the DCB acquisition. The average yield on the loan portfolio decreased slightly to 4.53% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 4.55% during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 due to lower average yields on new loans. The fair value accretion/amortization on acquired loans affects interest income, primarily due to payoffs on such acquired loans. Payoffs during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 contributed a seven basis point increase in interest income, compared to four basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. In addition, a $729 thousand increase in interest earned on investment and other securities contributed to the increase in total interest income for the 2017 period. This increase was primarily related to increases in the average balances of our corporate bonds, MBS and municipal securities, partially offset by decreases in the average balance of our U.S. government agencies and the average yield on our municipal securities.
               Total interest expense increased $3.1 million, or 60.01%, to $8.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $5.2 million for the same period in 2016, as a result of increases in the average rate paid on and, to a lesser extent, the average balance of, our interest bearing liabilities. The average interest rate paid on all interest bearing liabilities increased to 0.87% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 0.64% during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, due to higher rates paid on our borrowings and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the rate paid on our money market and NOW accounts and our time deposits. Rates increased due to the Federal Reserve rate increases. The average rate on our borrowings increased primarily as a result of the interest rate on the Notes we issued in August 2016 being higher than our typical borrowings and an increase in the average rate paid on our FHLB borrowings compared to the same nine month period last year due to increases in the federal funds rate period over period. Interest expense with respect to the subordinated notes was significantly lower during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, due to their issuance in August of last year. The fair value accretion recorded on acquired deposits also affects interest expense. The benefit from accretion on such deposits was one basis point for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to two basis points for the same period in 2016.
 
               The average balance of our interest bearing liabilities increased $196.3 million, or 18.20%, to $1.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of increases of $118.6 million, or 12.76%, in our average interest bearing deposits and $77.7 million, or 52.07%, in our average borrowings quarter over quarter. The increase in our average interest bearing deposits is due to organic deposit growth, and to a lesser extent, deposits acquired in the DCB merger. The increase in our average borrowings is due to the use of short-term FHLB advances to fund new loan originations and the $35 million of Notes we issued in August 2016.
 
As a result of the growth generated primarily from our branch network and also from the efforts of our commercial loan officers in working with loan clients to move their commercial deposits to Old Line Bank, average non-interest bearing deposits increased $53.1 million to $375.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $322.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Included in average non-interest deposits is $77.5 million acquired in the DCB merger.
 
Our net interest margin decreased to 3.68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 3.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The yield on average interest earning assets increased by four basis point from 4.30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to 4.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, due to the 24 basis point increase in the average yield on our investment portfolio, partially offset by the two basis point decrease in the average yield on our loan portfolio.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we continued to successfully collect payments on acquired loans that we had recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, which resulted in a positive impact in interest income. Total accretion increased by $338 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period last year. The higher level of accretion on acquired loans was due to a higher level of early payoffs on acquired loans with credit marks.
 
The accretion positively impacted the yield on loans and increased the net interest margin during these periods as follows:

Average Balances, Yields and Accretion of Fair Value Adjustments Impact . The following table illustrates average balances of total interest earning assets and total interest bearing liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, showing the average distribution of assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity and related income, expense and corresponding weighted average yields and rates. Non-accrual loans are included in total loan balances lowering the effective yield for the portfolio in the aggregate. The average balances used in this table and other statistical data were calculated using average daily balances.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $855 thousand, a decrease of $529 thousand, or 38.24%, compared to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This decrease is due to an improvement in our asset quality, in particular, a decrease in the balance of our non-accrual loans, and a decrease in our reserves on specific loans. The reserves on specific loans decreased primarily due to one hospitality loan for $1.3 million that was paid off during the first quarter and a large commercial borrower, consisting of 23 commercial loans totaling $3.0 million, of which $1.0 million was charged-off against the allowance for loan losses and $2.0 million was reclassified as TDRs during the first quarter of 2017. Amounts charged off in relation to this borrower during the nine month period were in line with specific reserves at December 31, 2016. These TDRs are classified as impaired and all our impaired loans have been adequately reserved for at September 30, 2017.
 
Management identified probable losses in the loan portfolio and charged-off $1.3 million, compared to charge-offs of $21 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Recoveries of $36 thousand were recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $79 thousand for the same period in 2016.
    Non-interest Income . Non-interest income totaled $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $683 thousand, or 10.22%, from the corresponding period of 2016 amount of $6.7 million.

             The $1.2 million decrease in gain on sales or calls of investment securities is the result of re-positioning our investment portfolio during the 2016 period, pursuant to which we sold approximately $100.0 million of our lowest yielding, longer duration investments, compared to $60.6 million in sales and calls during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . The sales during the 2017 period includes approximately $41.8 million of investment securities acquired in the DCB merger and sold immediately after the closing of the merger, resulting in no gain or loss on such sales .
 
The decrease in rental income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 is due to vacant space at our building located at 4201 Mitchellville Road in Bowie, Maryland, which was occupied during 2016.
 
Other fees and commissions increased $149 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period last year primarily due to $537 thousand in recoveries of previously charged-off acquired loans during the 2017 period compared to $36 thousand during the 2016 period , partially offset by a decrease of $250 thousand due to a one-time incentive fee for our debit card program we received in the first quarter of last year, for which there was no corresponding income this year.
 
           The increase in service charges on deposit accounts is the result of income on bank debit cards. This increase is primarily due to the increase in our customer deposit base as a result of the DCB merger.
 
            The increase in gain on disposal of assets is due to the sale during 2017 of our previously-owned location, the Accokeek branch, which we closed in the third quarter of 2016.
 
            The increase in gain on sale of loans (other than residential mortgage loans held for sale) during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 is due to the sale of one SBA loan during the 2017 period, whereas we did not sell any portfolio loans during the 2016 period.
 
           Income on marketable loans increased $94 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to an increase in the premiums received on residential mortgage loans sold in the secondary market, although an increase in gains recorded on the sale of such loans as a result of a higher volume of loans sold was responsible for approximately 10.6% of the increase. The residential mortgage division originated loans aggregating $71.1 million in the secondary market during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $70.9 million for the same period last year.
 
Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $3.1 million, or 10.10%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Non-interest expense increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period last year almost entirely as a result of increases in merger and integration expenses and other operating expenses, partially offset by a lack of severance payments in the 2017 period and decreases in salaries and benefits and occupancy and equipment expense.
 
Merger and integration expenses increased $3.3 million to $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 in connection with the DCB acquisition, compared to $661 thousand of merger and integration expenses during the first nine months of 2016 in connection with the Regal Bancorp acquisition that was consummated in December 2015.
 
Other operating expense increased during the 2017 period primarily due to higher fees associated with our Internet banking support due to additional customer base acquired in the DCB merger.
 
We had no severance payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $443 thousand of such payments for the corresponding period last year, which payments related to staff reductions implemented in the second and third quarters of 2016.
 
The decreases in salaries and benefits and occupancy and equipment expense is associated with staff reductions and branch closures we implemented in the second and third quarters of 2016.
 
Income Taxes. We had an income tax expense of $5.8 million (36.57% of pre-tax income) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to an income tax expense of $4.4 million (33.42% of pre-tax income) for the same period in 2016. The effective tax rate increased for the 2017 period due to reduction in the level of non-taxable interest income as compared to the same period last year in addition to an increase in non-deductible merger and integration expenses associated with the DCB acquisition.
 
Net Income Available to Common Stockholders. Net income available to common stockholders was $10.1 million or $0.90 per basic and $0.88 per diluted common share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to $8.8 million, or $0.82 per basic and $0.80 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2016. The increase in net income is primarily the result of the $9.1 million increase in net interest income, partially offset by the $683 thousand decrease in non-interest income and $3.1 million increase in non-interest expenses.
 
Analysis of Financial Condition
 
Investment Securities. Our portfolio consists primarily of investment grade securities including U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, U.S. government sponsored entity securities, corporate bonds, securities issued by states, counties and municipalities, MBS and certain equity securities (recorded at cost), including Federal Home Loan Bank stock, Maryland Financial Bank stock, and Atlantic Community Bankers Bank stock.
 
We have prudently managed our investment portfolio to maintain liquidity and safety. The portfolio provides a source of liquidity, collateral for borrowings as well as a means of diversifying our earning asset portfolio. While we usually intend to hold the investment securities until maturity, currently we classify all of our investment securities as available for sale. This classification provides us the opportunity to divest of securities that may no longer meet our liquidity objectives. We account for investment securities at fair value and report the unrealized appreciation and depreciation as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of income tax effects. Although we may sell securities to reposition the portfolio, generally, we invest in securities for the yield they produce and not to profit from trading the securities. We continually evaluate our investment portfolio to ensure it is adequately diversified, provides sufficient cash flow and does not subject us to undue interest rate risk. There are no trading securities in our portfolio.
 
The investment securities at September 30, 2017 amounted to $213.7 million, an increase of $14.2 million, or 7.10%, from the December 31, 2016 amount of $199.5 million. As outlined above, at September 30, 2017, all securities are classified as available for sale.
 
The fair value of available for sale securities included net unrealized losses of $2.2 million at September 30, 2017 (reflected as $1.3 million net of taxes) as compared to net unrealized losses of $8.2 million (reflected as $5.0 million net of taxes) at December 31, 2016. The improvement in the value of the investment securities is due to a decrease in market interest rates, which resulted in an increase in bond values. We have evaluated securities with unrealized losses for an extended period of time and determined that all such losses are temporary because, at this point in time, we expect to hold them until maturity. We have no intent or plan to sell these securities, it is not likely that we will have to sell these securities and we have not identified any portion of the loss that is a result of credit deterioration in the issuer of the security. As the maturity date moves closer and/or interest rates decline, any unrealized losses in the portfolio will decline or dissipate.
 
Loan Portfolio. Net of allowance, unearned fees and origination costs, loans held for investment increased $305.3 million, or 22.43%, to $1.7 billion at September 30, 2017, from $1.4 billion at December 31, 2016. The loan growth during 2017 was primarily due to the loans acquired from Damascus, and to a lesser extent, new commercial real estate originations resulting from our enhanced presence in our market area. Commercial real estate loans increased by $153.1 million, residential real estate loans increased by $52.6 million, commercial and industrial loans increased by $40.9 million and consumer loans increased by $55.8 million from their respective balances at December 31, 2016. Excluding the loans acquired in the DCB acquisition, net loans held for investment during the three and nine month period grew $10.0 million and $95.4 million, respectively, due to organic growth; the acquisition of the Damascus loan portfolio accounted for approximately $210.0 million of the growth in net loans held for investment during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017.
 
Most of our lending activity occurs within the state of Maryland in the suburban Washington, D.C. and Baltimore market areas in Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Calvert, Carroll, Charles, Montgomery, Prince George’s and St. Mary’s Counties. The majority of our loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate loans and residential real estate loans.

As a result of the acquisitions of Maryland Bankcorp, the parent company of MB&T, in April 2011, WSB Holdings, the parent company of WSB, in May 2013, Regal Bancorp, the parent company of Regal Bank, in December 2015, and DCB, the parent company of Damascus, we have segmented the portfolio into two components, loans originated by Old Line Bank (legacy) and loans acquired from MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank and Damascus (acquired).
 
 
Bank owned life insurance. At September 30, 2017 we have invested $41.4 million in life insurance policies on our executive officers, other officers of Old Line Bank, retired officers of MB&T, and former officers of WSB, Regal Bank and Damascus. Bank owned life insurance increased $3.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primary due to $3.1 million of bank owned life insurance acquired in the DCB acquisition. The increase also includes interest earned on these policies. Earnings on bank owned life insurance were $861 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which earnings were partially offset by $137 thousand in expenses associated with the policies.
 
Deposits . The deposit portfolio increased $328.8 million, or 24.80%, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, to $1.7 billion at September 30, 2017 compared to $1.3 billion at December 31, 2016. The deposit increase was comprised of increases of $223.4 million, or 22.47%, in interest bearing deposits and $105.3 million, or 31.79%, in non-interest bearing deposits. These increases are due primarily to the deposits acquired from Damascus and, to a lesser exten, as a result of continued efforts to enhance our deposit customer base in our surrounding areas.

We acquire brokered certificates of deposit and money market accounts through the Promontory Interfinancial Network (Promontory). Through this deposit matching network and its certificate of deposit account registry service (CDARS) and money market account service, we have the ability to offer our customers access to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) insured deposit products in aggregate amounts exceeding current insurance limits. When we place funds through Promontory on behalf of a customer, we receive matching deposits through the network’s reciprocal deposit program. We can also place deposits through this network without receiving matching deposits. At September 30, 2017, we had $42.0 million in CDARS and $151.8 million in money market accounts through Promontory’s reciprocal deposit program compared to $39.9 million and $126.8 million, respectively, at December 31, 2016.
We do not currently have any brokered certificates of deposits other than CDARS. The $4.0 million of brokered certificates of deposit that we acquired in the WSB transaction matured during the first quarter of 2017. Old Line Bank did not obtain any brokered certificates of deposit during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We may, however, use brokered deposits in the future as an element of our funding strategy if and when required to maintain an acceptable loan to deposit ratio.
 
Borrowings. Short-term borrowings consist of short-term borrowings with the FHLB and short-term promissory notes issued to Old Line Bank’s commercial customers as an enhancement to the basic non-interest bearing demand deposit account. This service electronically sweeps excess funds from the customer’s account into a short term promissory note with Old Line Bank. These obligations are payable on demand and are secured by investments. At September 30, 2017, we had $115.0 million outstanding in short-term FHLB borrowings, compared to $150.0 million at December 31, 2016. We used the proceeds from the sale of the investment securities we acquired in the DCB acquisition to repay a portion of our FHLB borrowings. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no unsecured promissory notes and $37.2 million and $33.4 million, respectively, in secured promissory notes.
 
Long-term borrowings at September 30, 2017 consist primarily of the Notes in the amount of $35.0 million (fair value of $34.0 million) due in 2026. The initial interest rate on the Notes is 5.625% per annum from August 15, 2016 to August 14, 2021, payable semi-annually on each February 15 and August 15. Beginning August 15, 2021, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to the then current three-month LIBOR rate plus 450.2 basis points, payable quarterly on each February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 through maturity or early redemption. Also included in long-term borrowings are trust preferred subordinated debentures totaling $4.0 million (net of $2.7 million fair value adjustment) we acquired in the Regal acquisition. The trust preferred subordinated debentures consists of two trusts – Trust 1 in the amount of $4.0 million (fair value adjustment of $1.5 million) with an interest rate of floating 90-day LIBOR plus 2.85%, maturing in 2034 and Trust 2 in the amount of $2.5 million (fair value adjustment $1.2 million) with an interest rate of floating 90-day LIBOR plus 1.60%, maturing in 2035.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources . Our overall asset/liability strategy takes into account our need to maintain adequate liquidity to fund asset growth and deposit runoff. Our management monitors the liquidity position daily in conjunction with regulatory guidelines. As further discussed below, we have credit lines, unsecured and secured, available from several correspondent banks totaling $43.5 million. Additionally, we may borrow funds from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. We can use these credit facilities in conjunction with the normal deposit strategies, which include pricing changes to increase deposits as necessary. We can also sell available for sale investment securities or pledge investment securities as collateral to create additional liquidity. From time to time we may sell or participate out loans to create additional liquidity as required. Additional sources of liquidity include funds held in time deposits and cash flow from the investment and loan portfolios.
 
Our immediate sources of liquidity are cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and deposits in other banks. On September 30, 2017, we had $33.1 million in cash and due from banks, $1.0 million in interest bearing accounts, and $384 thousand in federal funds sold. As of December 31, 2016, we had $22.1 million in cash and due from banks, $1.2 million in interest bearing accounts, and $248 thousand in federal funds sold.
 
Old Line Bank has sufficient liquidity to meet its loan commitments as well as fluctuations in deposits. We usually retain maturing certificates of deposit as we offer competitive rates on certificates of deposit. Management is not aware of any demands, trends, commitments, or events that would result in Old Line Bank’s inability to meet anticipated or unexpected liquidity needs.
We did not have any unusual liquidity requirements during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Although we plan for various liquidity scenarios, if turmoil in the financial markets occurs and our depositors lose confidence in us, we could experience liquidity issues.
 
Old Line Bancshares has available a $5.0 million unsecured line of credit at September 30, 2017. In addition, Old Line Bank has $38.5 million in available lines of credit at September 30, 2017, consisting of overnight federal funds of $33.5 million and repurchase agreements of $5.0 million from its correspondent banks. Old Line Bank has an additional secured line of credit from the FHLB of $537.0 million at September 30, 2017. As a condition of obtaining the line of credit from the FHLB, the FHLB requires that Old Line Bank purchase shares of capital stock in the FHLB. Prior to allowing Old Line Bank to borrow under the line of credit, the FHLB also requires that Old Line Bank provide collateral to support borrowings. Therefore, we have provided collateral to support up to $325.8 million in lendable collateral value for FHLB borrowings. We may increase availability by providing additional collateral. Additionally, we have overnight repurchase agreements sold to Old Line Bank’s customers and have provided collateral in the form of investment securities to support the $37.2 million in repurchase agreements.
 
In July 2013, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the FDIC have approved rules implementing Basel III. Under the rules, which became effective January 1, 2015, minimum requirements increased for both the quantity and quality of capital held by Old Line Bancshares and Old Line Bank. Among other things, the rules established a new minimum common equity Tier 1 capital for risk-weighted assets ratio of 4.5%, a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a minimum total risk-based capital ratio requirement of 8.0% and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. These capital requirements also included changes in the risk-weights of certain assets to better reflect credit risk and other risk exposures. Additionally, subject to a transition schedule, the rule limits a banking organization’s ability to make capital distributions, engage in share repurchases and pay certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. Implementation of the capital conservation buffer began on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and will increase ratably each subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019. Old Line Bank has elected to permanently opt out of the inclusion of accumulated other comprehensive income in our capital calculations, as permitted by the regulations. This opt-out will reduce the impact of market volatility on our regulatory capital levels.
 
As of September 30, 2017, Old Line Bancshares’ capital levels remained characterized as “well-capitalized” under these rules.
 
Current regulations require subsidiaries of a financial institution to be separately capitalized and require investments in and extensions of credit to any subsidiary engaged in activities not permissible for a bank to be deducted in the computation of the institution’s regulatory capital. Regulatory capital and regulatory assets below also reflect increases of $2.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, which represents unrealized losses (after-tax for capital additions and pre-tax for asset additions, respectively) on mortgage-backed securities and investment securities classified as available for sale. In addition, the risk-based capital reflects an increase of $5.8 million for the general loan loss reserve during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
 
As of September 30, 2017, Old Line Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to be considered well capitalized. There were no conditions or events since the end of the third quarter of 2017 that management believes have changed Old Line Bank’s classification as well capitalized.
The following table shows Old Line Bank’s regulatory capital ratios and the minimum capital ratios currently required by its banking regulator to be “well capitalized” at September 30, 2017.

Our management believes that, under current regulations, and eliminating the assets of Old Line Bancshares, Old Line Bank remains well capitalized and will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future. However, events beyond our control, such as a shift in interest rates or an economic downturn in areas where we extend credit, could adversely affect future earnings and, consequently, our ability to meet minimum capital requirements in the future.
 
 
Asset Quality
 
Overview . Management performs reviews of all delinquent loans and foreclosed assets and directs relationship officers to work with customers to resolve potential credit issues in a timely manner. Management reports to the Loan Committee for their approval and recommendation to the board of directors on a monthly basis. The reports presented include information on delinquent loans and foreclosed real estate. We have formal action plans on criticized assets and provide status reports on OREO on a quarterly basis. These action plans include our actions and plans to cure the delinquent status of the loans and to dispose of the foreclosed properties. The Loan Committee consists of three executive officers and four non-employee members of the board of directors.
 
We classify any property acquired as a result of foreclosure on a mortgage loan as “other real estate owned” and record it at the lower of the unpaid principal balance or fair value at the date of acquisition and subsequently carry the property at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We charge any required write down of the loan to its net realizable value against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure. We charge to expense any subsequent adjustments to net realizable value. Upon foreclosure, Old Line Bank generally requires an appraisal of the property and, thereafter, appraisals of the property generally on an annual basis and external inspections on at least a quarterly basis.
 
As required by ASC Topic 310- Receivables and ASC Topic 450- Contingencies , we measure all impaired loans, which consist of all modified loans (TDRs) and other loans for which collection of all contractual principal and interest is not probable, based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, we recognize impairment through a valuation allowance and corresponding provision for loan losses. Old Line Bank considers consumer loans as homogenous loans and thus does not apply the impairment test to these loans. We write off impaired loans when collection of the loan is doubtful.
 
Potential problem loans represent those loans with a well-defined weakness and where information about possible credit problems of a borrower has caused management to have serious doubts about the borrower’s ability to comply with present repayment terms. These loans do not meet the criteria for, and are therefore not included in, nonperforming assets. Management, however, classifies potential problem loans as either special mention, watch, or substandard. These loans were considered in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and are closely and regularly monitored to protect our interests. Potential problem loans, which are not included in nonperforming assets, amounted to $30.2 million at September 30, 2017 compared to $32.8 million at December 31, 2016. At September 30, 2017, we had $16.9 million and $13.3 million, respectively, of potential problem loans attributable to our legacy and acquired loan portfolios, compared to $17.3 million and $15.5 million, respectively, at December 31, 2016.
 
Acquired Loans . Loans acquired in mergers are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. Generally accepted accounting principles require that we record acquired loans at fair value, which includes a discount for loans with credit impairment. These loans are not performing according to their contractual terms and meet our definition of a nonperforming loan. The discounts that arise from recording these loans at fair value were due to credit quality. Although we do not accrue interest income at the contractual rate on these loans, we may accrete these discounts to interest income as a result of pre-payments that exceed our expectations or payment in full of amounts due. Purchased, credit-impaired loans that perform consistent with the accretable yield expectations are not reported as non-accrual or nonperforming.
All acquired loans from MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank and Damascus were recorded at fair value. The fair value of the acquired loans includes expected loan losses, and as a result there was no allowance for loan losses recorded for acquired loans at the time of acquisition. Accordingly, the existence of the acquired loans reduces the ratios of the allowance for loan losses to total gross loans and the allowance for loan losses to non-accrual loans, and this measure is not directly comparable to prior periods. Similarly, net loan charge-offs are normally lower for acquired loans since we recorded these loans net of expected loan losses. Therefore, the ratio of net charge-offs during the period to average loans outstanding is reduced as a result of the existence of acquired loans, and the measures are not directly comparable to prior periods. Other institutions may not have acquired loans, and therefore there may be no direct comparability of these ratios between and among other institutions when compared in total.
 
The accounting guidance also requires that if we experience a decrease in the expected cash flows of a loan subsequent to the acquisition date, we establish an allowance for loan losses for those acquired loans with decreased cash flows. At September 30, 2017, there was $182 thousand of allowance reserved for potential loan losses on acquired loans compared to $111 thousand at December 31, 2016.
 
Nonperforming Assets . As of September 30, 2017, our nonperforming assets totaled $4.0 million and consisted of $1.9 million of nonaccrual loans, $107 thousand of loans past due 90 days and still accruing and other real estate owned of $2.0 million.

Generally accepted accounting principles require that we record acquired loans at fair value at acquisition, which includes a discount for loans with credit impairment. These loans are not performing according to their contractual terms and meet our definition of a nonperforming loan. The discounts that arise from recording these loans at fair value were due to credit quality. Although we do not accrue interest income at the contractual rate on these loans, we may accrete these discounts to interest income as a result of pre-payments that exceed our cash flow expectations or payment in full of amounts due even though we classify them as 90 or more days past due.
 
Non-accrual legacy loans at September 30, 2017 decreased $5.4 million from December 31, 2016, primarily due to one hospitality loan for $1.3 million that was paid off during the first quarter and one large commercial borrower, consisting of 23 commercial loans totaling $3.0 million, of which $1.0 million has been charged against the allowance for loan losses and $2.0 million has been reclassified as trouble debt restructurings.
 
Non-accrual acquired loans at September 30, 2017 increased $920 thousand from December 31, 2016, primarily due to an increase in residential real estate loans, offsetting the decrease in the commercial real estate loans portfolio.
At September 30, 2017, legacy OREO was $425 thousand. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, one property was transferred into legacy OREO during the first quarter and sold for a gain on sale of OREO of $35 thousand during the third quarter.
 
Acquired OREO at September 30, 2017, decreased $742 thousand from December 31, 2016. The decrease in acquired OREO was driven by the sale of three properties, which offset the transfer of one property into OREO.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses . We review the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly. Our review includes evaluation of impaired loans as required by ASC Topic 310- Receivables , and ASC Topic 450- Contingencies . Also incorporated in determining the adequacy of the allowance is guidance contained in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 102, Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s Policy Statement on Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Methodologies and Documentation for Banks and Savings Institutions and the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. We also continue to measure the credit impairment at each period end on all loans that have been classified as a TDR using the guidance in ASC 310-10-35.
 
We have risk management practices designed to ensure timely identification of changes in loan risk profiles. Undetected losses, however, inherently exist within the portfolio. Although we may allocate specific portions of the allowance for specific loans or other factors, the entire allowance is available for any loans that we should charge off. We will not create a specific valuation allowance unless we consider a loan impaired.

December 31, 2016
 
Ratio of allowance for loan losses to:
 
 
 
 
 
 
Total gross loans held for investment
    0.35 %
    0.45 %
Non-accrual loans
    306.11 %
    97.05 %
Net charge-offs to average loans
    0.08 %
    0.02 %
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we charged off $1.3 million in loans through the allowance for loan losses.
 
The allowance for loan losses represented 0.35% and 0.45% of gross loans held for investment at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively and 0.43% and 0.52% of legacy loans at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. We have no exposure to foreign countries or foreign borrowers. Based on our analysis and the satisfactory historical performance of the loan portfolio, we believe this allowance appropriately reflects the inherent risk of loss in our portfolio.
 
Overall, we continue to believe that the loan portfolio remains manageable in terms of charge-offs and nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans. We remain diligent and aware of our credit costs and the impact that these can have on our financial institution, and we have taken proactive measures to identify problem loans, including in-house and independent review of larger transactions. Our policy for evaluating problem loans includes obtaining new certified real estate appraisals as needed. We continue to monitor and review frequently the overall asset quality within the loan portfolio.
 
C ontractual Obligations, Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, and Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
 
Old Line Bancshares is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business. These financial instruments primarily include commitments to extend credit, lines of credit and standby letters of credit. Old Line Bancshares uses these financial instruments to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. These commitments do not represent unusual risks and management does not anticipate any losses that would have a material effect on Old Line Bancshares. Old Line Bancshares also has operating lease obligations.
Outstanding loan commitments and lines and letters of credit at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, are as follows:

  $ 18,907  
 
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Old Line Bancshares generally requires collateral to support financial instruments with credit risk on the same basis as it does for on balance sheet instruments. The collateral is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Commitments generally have interest rates fixed at current market rates, expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Available credit lines represent the unused portion of lines of credit previously extended and available to the customer so long as there is no violation of any contractual condition. These lines generally have variable interest rates. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, and since it is unlikely that all customers will draw upon their lines of credit in full at any time, the total commitment amount or line of credit amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s credit worthiness on a case by case basis. We regularly reevaluate many of our commitments to extend credit. Because we conservatively underwrite these facilities at inception, we generally do not have to withdraw any commitments. We are not aware of any loss that we would incur by funding our commitments or lines of credit.
 
Commitments for real estate development and construction, which totaled $120.0 million, or 41.14% of the $291.6 million of outstanding commitments at September 30, 2017, are generally short term and turn over rapidly with principal repayment from permanent financing arrangements upon completion of construction or from sales of the properties financed.
 
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the customer is the contract amount of the commitment. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. In general, loan commitments, credit lines and letters of credit are made on the same terms, including with respect to collateral, as outstanding loans. We evaluate each customer’s credit worthiness and the collateral required on a case by case basis.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
 
As the magnitude of the merger expenses distorts our operational results, we present in the GAAP reconciliation below and in the accompanying text certain performance measures excluding the effect of the merger expenses during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017. We believe this information is important to enable shareholders and other interested parties to assess our operational performance, in other words, our performance based on our ongoing operations

Non-GAAP financial measures included in this quarterly report should be read along with these tables providing a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company and provide meaningful comparison to its peers. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be consider as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under U.S. GAAP, and investors should consider the Company’s performance and financial condition as reported under U.S. GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under U.S. GAAP.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
 
Management has prepared the financial statements and related data presented herein in accordance with U.S. GAAP , which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
 
Unlike industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, and may frequently reflect government policy initiatives or economic factors not measured by a price index. As discussed above, we strive to manage our interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to offset the effects of rate changes and inflation.
 
Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We may also include forward-looking statements in other statements that we make. All statements that are not descriptions of historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “project,” “contemplate,” “anticipate,” “forecast,” “intend” or other words of similar meaning. You can also identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.
 
The statements presented herein with respect to, among other things, Old Line Bancshares’ plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, including the anticipated closing of the merger with BYBK during the second quarter of 2018 and the impact of the merger on non-interest expenses, expanding fee income, extensions of core banking services, that the recent DCB acquisition will generate increased earnings and increase returns for our stockholders, continued increases in net interest income, expected increases in non-interest expenses, hiring and acquisition possibilities, our belief that we have identified any problem assets and that our borrowers will remain current on their loans, the impact of outstanding off-balance sheet commitments, sources of liquidity and that we have sufficient liquidity, the sufficiency of the allowance for loan losses, expected loan, deposit, balance sheet and earnings growth, expected losses on and our intentions with respect to our investment securities, the amount of potential problem loans, continuing to meet regulatory capital requirements, expectations with respect to the impact of pending legal proceedings, the anticipated impact of recent accounting pronouncements, improving earnings per share and stockholder value, and financial and other goals and plans are forward looking. Old Line Bancshares bases these statements on our beliefs, assumptions and on information available to us as of the date of this filing, which involves risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include generally, among others: those discussed in this report; the ability of Old Line Bancshares to retain key personnel; the ability of Old Line Bancshares to successfully implement its growth and expansion strategy; risk of loan losses; that the allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient; that changes in interest rates and monetary policy could adversely affect Old Line Bancshares; that changes in regulatory requirements and/or restrictive banking legislation may adversely affect Old Line Bancshares; that the market value of investments could negatively impact stockholders’ equity; risks associated with our lending limit; deterioration in general economic conditions or a return to recessionary conditions; changes in competitive, governmental, regulatory, technological and other factors which may affect Old Line Bancshares specifically or the banking industry generally; and, with respect to the timing of the BYBK merger, the ability to obtain required regulatory and stockholder approvals.
 
In addition, our statements with respect to the anticipated effects of the DCB acquisition are subject to the following additional risks and uncertainties: DCB’s business may not be integrated successfully with ours or such integration may be more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected; expected revenue synergies and cost savings from the merger may not be fully realized or realized within the expected timeframe; revenues following the merger may be lower than expected; and customer and employee relationships and business operations may be disrupted by the merger.
 
For a more complete discussion of some of these risks and uncertainties referred to above, see “Risk Factors” in Old Line Bancshares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
 
Old Line Bancshares’ actual results and the actual outcome of our expectations and strategies could differ materially from those anticipated or estimated because of these risks and uncertainties and you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this filing, and Old Line Bancshares undertakes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements to reflect factual assumptions, circumstances or events that have changed after we have made the forward-looking statements.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
Market risk is the exposure to economic loss that arises from changes in the values of certain financial instruments. Various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices, may cause these changes. We are subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on our portfolio of assets and liabilities. Foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices do not pose significant market risk to us. Due to the nature of our operations, only interest rate risk is significant to our consolidated results of operations or financial position. We have no material changes in our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk as of September 30, 2017 from that presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
 
Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis and Interest Rate Risk Management
 
A principal objective of Old Line Bank’s asset/liability management policy is to minimize exposure to changes in interest rates by an ongoing review of the maturity and re-pricing of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.
 
The tables below present Old Line Bank’s interest rate sensitivity at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Because certain categories of securities and loans are prepaid before their maturity date even without regard to interest rate fluctuations, we have made certain assumptions to calculate the expected maturity of securities and loans.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, Old Line Bancshares’ Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of Old Line Bancshares’ disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, Old Line Bancshares’ Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Old Line Bancshares’ disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2017. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Old Line Bancshares in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
In addition, there were no changes in Old Line Bancshares’ internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Old Line Bancshares’ internal control over financial reporting.
