Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The financial information is presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and general practice for financial institutions in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).  In preparing financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of financial statements.  In addition, these estimates and assumptions affect revenues and expenses in the financial statements and as such, actual results could differ from those estimates.  

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change include:  (a) the allowance for loan losses and (b) fair values of available for sale debt securities based on estimates from independent valuation services or from brokers.

Transfers of Investment Securities from Available-for-Sale to Held-to-Maturity

Transfers of debt securities into the held-to-maturity category from the available-for-sale category are made at fair value at the date of transfer. The unrealized holding gain or loss at the date of transfer is retained in other comprehensive income and in the carrying value of the held-to-maturity securities. Such amounts are amortized over the remaining expected life of the security.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First United Corporation, the Bank, the OakFirst Loan Centers, First OREO Trust and FUBT OREO I, LLC. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 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, 2021.

As used in these notes, the terms “the Corporation” “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to First United Corporation and, unless the context clearly requires otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Corporation has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the statement of financial condition date of March 31, 2022 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these financial statements.
