Regulatory Capital Requirements [Abstract] |
Regulatory Capital Requirements under Banking Regulations [Text Block] | NOTE 17. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS Shore Bancshares, Inc. and each of the Banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Banks’ assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Banks’ capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Banks to maintain amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Tier 1 and total capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (leverage ratio). As of December 31, 2014, management believes that Shore Bancshares, Inc. and CNB met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. Per the Order, Talbot Bank submitted a capital plan to the FDIC and Commissioner which describes the methods and timing by which it will increase and maintain its capital ratios up to or in excess of required minimums (leverage ratio of 8%, total capital ratio of 12%). These methods include earnings from operations, capital infusions from the Company, and other capital-raising alternatives such as equity issuances. As of December 31, 2014, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized Talbot Bank as adequately capitalized and CNB as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as adequately or well capitalized, the Banks must maintain minimum Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios, and Tier 1 leverage ratios, which are described below. The Talbot Bank would be considered “well capitalized” based on its capital ratios at year ended December 31, 2014, however must remain in the “adequately capitalized” category until the consent order is terminated by the FDIC and the Commissioner. The minimum ratios for capital adequacy purposes are 4.00%, 8.00% and 4.00% for the Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and leverage ratios, respectively. To be categorized as well capitalized, a bank must maintain minimum ratios of 6.00%, 10.00% and 5.00% for its Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and leverage ratios, respectively. Shore Bancshares, Inc., as a financial holding company, is subject to the well-capitalized requirement. The following tables present the capital amounts and ratios for Shore Bancshares, Inc., Talbot Bank and CNB as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
