Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of First United Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, including First United Bank & Trust (the “Bank”), have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 270, Interim Reporting, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required for annual financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting of normal recurring items, have been included.  Operating results for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or for any future interim period.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in First United Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.  For purposes of comparability, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 presentation.  Such reclassifications had no impact on net income or equity.

As used in these notes, the term “the Corporation” refers to First United Corporation and, unless the context clearly requires otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries.
