MERCANTILE BANKSHARES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of Mercantile
Bankshares Corporation (Bankshares) and all of its affiliates, are prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America and follow general practice within the banking industry. In the
opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim
period. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and include
adjustments to eliminate all significant intercompany transactions. In view of
the changing conditions in the national economy, the effect of actions taken by
regulatory authorities and normal seasonal factors, the results for the interim
period are not necessarily indicative of annual performance. For comparability,
certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current
period presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements, and the disclosure of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on information
available as of the date of the financial statements and could differ from
actual results.
2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing income available to
common shareholders by weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS
is computed using the same components as in basic EPS with the denominator
adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock awards.
The following tables provide a reconciliation between the computation of basic
EPS and diluted EPS for the six months and quarters ended June 30, 2002 and
2001:

4. IMPAIRED LOANS
A loan is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if it
is probable that Bankshares will not collect all principal and interest
payments according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Generally, a
loan is considered impaired once either principal or interest payments become
90 days past due at the end of a calendar quarter. A loan may be considered
impaired sooner if, in management's judgement, such action is warranted. The
impairment of a loan is measured based on the present value of expected future
cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or the fair value
of the collateral if the repayment is expected to be provided predominantly by
the underlying collateral. A majority of Bankshares' impaired loans are
measured by reference to the fair value of the collateral. Interest income on
impaired loans is recognized on the cash basis. Information with respect to
impaired loans and the related valuation allowance (if the measure of the
impaired loan is less than the recorded investment) at June 30 and March 31,
2002 and at the end of December 2001, is shown below. See Form 10-K for more
details.

8. CAPITAL ADEQUACY
Bankshares and its bank affiliates are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. These
requirements include maintaining certain capital ratios above minimum levels.
These capital ratios include Tier I capital and Total risk-based capital as
percents of net risk-weighted assets and Tier I capital as a percent of
adjusted average total assets (leverage ratio). The minimum ratios for capital
adequacy purposes are 4.00%, 8.00% and 4.00%, for the Tier I capital, Total
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 I capital, Total capital and leverage ratios, respectively.
Management believes that, as of June 30, 2002, Bankshares and its bank
affiliates exceeded all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
PAGE 9
Capital ratios and the amounts used to calculate them are presented in the
following table for Bankshares and Mercantile - Safe Deposit & Trust Company
(MSD&T), the lead bank, as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001.

9. SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which
separate financial information is available that management relies on for
decision making and performance assessment. Bankshares has two reportable
segments - its nineteen Community Banks and Mercantile - Safe Deposit & Trust
Company (MSD&T) which consists of the Banking Division and the Trust Division.
The following tables present selected segment information for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. The components in the "Other" column consist of
amounts for the nonbank affiliates and intercompany eliminations. Certain
expense amounts such as operations overhead have been reclassified from
internal financial reporting in order to provide for full cost absorption.
These reclassifications are shown in the "Adjustments" line. The amounts
reported reflect the merger of The Sparks State Bank into MSD&T.

10. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Bankshares maintains an overall interest rate risk management strategy that
incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant
unplanned fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility.
Derivative instruments that are used as part of the interest rate risk
management strategy have been restricted to interest rate swaps. Interest rate
swaps generally involve the exchange of fixed-rate and variable-rate interest
payments between two parties, based on a common notional principal amount and
maturity date. Bankshares has entered into interest rate swaps to convert
fixed-rate loans made to borrowers to floating-rate loans and convert its
nonprepayable fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt.
The fair value of derivative instrument liabilities recorded in accrued
expenses and other liabilities was $6,988,000 and $14,625,000 at June 30, 2002
and December 31, 2001, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2002,
Bankshares recognized a net gain of $3,000, included in interest and fees on
loans, which represented the ineffective portion of the fair-value hedge of
fixed-rate loans made to borrowers. For the year ended December 31, 2001,
Bankshares recognized a net loss of $28,000. The fair-value hedge of the
nonrepayable fixed-rate debt was 100% effective for the reported periods.
11. ACCOUNTING CHANGES
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that the
purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001. Additionally, it further clarifies the criteria for the
initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets separate from
goodwill. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2001 and prescribes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets
subsequent to initial recognition. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 discontinue
the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
Instead, these assets will be subject to at least an annual impairment review,
and more frequently if certain impairment indicators are in evidence. SFAS No.
142 also requires that reporting units be identified for the purpose of
assessing potential future impairments of goodwill.
Mercantile Bankshares Corporation adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. In
preparing for its adoption of SFAS No. 142, Bankshares determined its reporting
units and the amounts of goodwill and intangible assets to be allocated to
those reporting units. Bankshares is not anticipating any reclassifications
between goodwill and intangible assets or any changes in the useful lives of
intangible assets. Application of the nonamortization provisions of the
Statement is expected to result in additional net income of $8.4 million for
the year ended December 31, 2002.
SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested annually for impairment using a
two-step process. The first step, which Bankshares completed during the first
half of 2002, is to identify a potential impairment. The second step, which
Bankshares will complete by the end of 2002, measures the amount of the
impairment loss, if any. Based on current information, Bankshares is not
expecting impairment charges for goodwill to impact the 2002 financial
statements.
The following table presents a reconciliation of reported net income and
earnings per share to amounts adjusted to exclude goodwill amortization, net of
tax:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
MERCANTILE BANKSHARES CORPORATION
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was $46,945,000, a 5.2% increase
from net income of $44,624,000 for the same period in 2001. For the quarter
ended June 30, 2002, diluted net income per share was $.67, an increase of 8.1%
over the $.62 reported for the second quarter last year. As a result of
newly-adopted rules under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,
amortization of goodwill has been discontinued in 2002. Had the same rules been
in effect in 2001, net income would have been $.04 per share higher for the
quarter ended June 30, 2001. The higher growth in earnings per share was
attributable to a decline in weighted average shares outstanding from
71,802,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, to 70,322,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 2002. The decline in shares primarily resulted from activity
under the share repurchase program, which had remaining repurchase
authorization for 2.6 million shares at June 30, 2002.
For the first six months of 2002, net income was $93,120,000, an increase of
2.3% over the $90,982,000 reported for the comparable period in 2001. Diluted
net income per share for the first half of 2002 was $1.32, a 3.9% increase over
the $1.27 reported for the same period last year. Excluding goodwill
amortization, net income would have been $1.33 for the six months ending June
30, 2001.
The return on average assets for the second quarter of 2002 was 1.90%, as
compared with 2.06% for the second quarter of 2001. The return on average
tangible equity was 16.36% and the ratio of average tangible equity to average
tangible assets was 11.71% for the second quarter of 2002. For the second
quarter 2001, the return on average tangible equity was 17.13% and the ratio of
average tangible equity to average tangible assets was 12.15%.
NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGIN
Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased 6.3% to
$110,425,000 from $103,908,000 for the second quarter last year. This
represented the best quarterly performance over the prior year since the first
quarter 2001, when the Federal Reserve began lowering short-term interest
rates. The current quarter reflected a 3.0% growth over the $107,188,000
reported for the prior quarter this year. The growth in net interest income was
attributable to the growth in average earning assets, particularly investment
securities. Average earning assets grew to $9,478,299,000, an 8.4% increase
over the previous year's $8,743,321,000 quarterly average. The net interest
margin at 4.74% for the second quarter 2002, was 10 basis points lower than the
same quarter last year. However, for the second consecutive quarter, the net
interest margin improved. This improvement is attributable, in part, to growth
in both lower costing and noninterest-bearing deposits.
Net interest income for the first six months of 2002 increased to $217,613,000
or 4.2% over the $208,878,000 for the same period last year. The growth in net
interest income was attributable to a 9.1% growth in average earning assets,
partially offset by a 23 basis point decline in the net interest margin from
4.96% to 4.73%. See the Analysis of Interest Rates and Interest Differentials
on pages 17 and 18 and Rate/Volume Analysis on page 19 for further details.

Interest income for the quarter decreased $19,550,000 or 11.8% to $146,623,000.
For the first six months of 2002, interest income decreased $43,830,000 or
13.0% to $293,085,000. On a tax-equivalent basis, interest income for the first
six months of 2002 decreased $44,075,000. This decline is attributable to the
Federal Reserve's 475 basis point reduction in short-term interest rates last
year. Accordingly, the tax-equivalent yield on the loan portfolio declined 149
basis points from 8.24% last year to 6.75% in the current quarter and 171 basis
points from 8.53% to 6.82% for the first half 2001 and 2002, respectively.
Similarly, the tax-equivalent yield on the investment portfolio declined 96
basis points to 4.91% from 5.87% in the second quarter last year and 95 basis
points from 5.93% to 4.98% for the first half 2001 and 2002, respectively. The
increase in interest income related to changes in volume is primarily
attributable to the investment portfolio, which grew over the prior
PAGE 12
year by 37.5% and 36.3% for the quarter and six months, respectively. In
contrast, average loans grew by 2.9% and 3.0% for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same periods last year.
Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 decreased $26,067,000 or
41.9% to $36,198,000. For the first six months of 2002, interest expense
decreased $52,565,000 or 41.1% to $75,472,000. Although interest rates have
generally stabilized since the fourth quarter 2001, the repricing upon maturity
of longer duration certificates of deposit has continued to reduce interest
expense. The average rate paid on time deposits $100,000 and over during the
second quarter 2002 was 3.19%, a decline of 269 basis points from the prior
year. For the six month period, the average rate paid declined 255 basis points
to 3.43%. Other time deposits, primarily consumer certificates of deposit,
declined 201 basis points and 194 basis points to an average rate paid of 3.58%
and 3.79% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the
same periods last year. Overall, the average rate paid on interest-bearing
deposits declined 180 basis points for both the three and six months ended June
30, 2002 when compared to the prior year. As would be expected, the greatest
decline in the average rate paid occurred in the cost of short-term borrowings,
which declined 241 basis points for the three months ended and 297 basis points
for the six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. The increase in interest
expense due to increased volume is attributable to the growth in long-term
debt, short-term borrowings, savings and money market deposits.

Noninterest income increased 2.9% to $36,805,000 for the second quarter 2002
versus the comparable period in 2001. Excluding the $1,051,000 equity
securities gain realized in the second quarter of 2002, the growth rate was
flat year over year. Investment and wealth management revenues increased 1.7%
to $17,828,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as a result of growth in new
business and negotiated fee increases offset by the decline in equity values.
We also exited the 401(k) business last year. Mortgage banking revenues
decreased 41.4% to $1,915,000 due to lower volumes in commercial mortgage loan
originations and outsourcing of the retail origination business. The other
income component of noninterest income for the second quarter of 2002 reflects
write-downs of investments in third-party private equity funds of $162,000,
while the first quarter included gains on sales of bank owned buildings of
$350,000, offset by write-downs of investments in third-party private equity
funds of $898,000. For the first six months, excluding investment securities
gains, noninterest income increased $2,661,000, or 3.9%. Increased commercial
checking and account analysis fees, growth in commercial loan fees and mortgage
banking related fees account for the balance of the increase.

Noninterest expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, increased 3.9% to
$67,930,000 from $65,406,000 for the second quarter of 2001. Excluding goodwill
amortization, noninterest expenses were $62,913,000 for the second quarter of
2001. Excluding goodwill amortization, noninterest expenses for the second
quarter 2002 increased by 8.0% over the second quarter 2001 and increased by
2.6% from the first quarter 2002. The principal contributor to the year over
year increase in expenses was a $2.4 million or 7.9% increase in salaries.
Included in salaries were severance expenses of $1.7 million related to the
reorganization of the investment and wealth management business. An $859,000
increase in employee benefits was primarily the result of increased pension and
medical costs. Net occupancy expense increased $728,000 or 21.8% to $4,064,000
for the current quarter from the quarter ending June, 2001. Excluding severance
expenses, noninterest expenses would have been flat compared to the first
quarter of 2002. Noninterest expenses for the first six months of 2002
increased $10,856,000, or 8.8%, after excluding the amortization of goodwill in
2001. The increase in expenses was attributed to salaries and benefits related
to severance expenses for the investment and wealth management reorganization,
as discussed for the quarter. Also impacting this period was increased
incentive compensation expenses, stock compensation related to stock options
and restricted stock awards, and directors' deferred compensation, which
fluctuates based on the market price of Mercantile's stock. Additionally, the
increase in occupancy expense is a function of increases in rental payments and
increases in repair and maintenance expenses associated with improvements at
some branch locations. Mercantile continued to expand its internal use of its
headquarters building causing a reduction in outside tenants in that building.
The efficiency ratio, a key measure of expense management, was 45.99% for the
second quarter 2002 versus 44.69% for the comparable period. Exluding severance
expenses, the efficiency ratio would have been 44.84% for the second quarter
2002.
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
At June 30, 2002, total assets increased 9.5% to $10,159,234,000 compared to
$9,280,542,000 one year earlier. Compared to the year ended December 31, 2001
at $9,928,786,000, total assets increased 2.3%. Total loans increased 3.1% to
$7,134,893,000 at June 30, 2002, compared to $6,923,139,000 at June 30, 2001.
The mix of the loan portfolio is relatively consistent, except for the expected
decline in leases in the portfolio from 2.3% of outstandings at June, 2001
through December at 2.2% to 1.8% currently.
Total deposits at June 30, 2002, were $7,708,176,000, an increase of 8.1% from
$7,128,764,000 at the end of the second quarter 2001, and a 3.5% increase from
the end of last year. Interest-bearing deposits were $5,770,906,000, an
increase of 5.5% from June 30, 2001, and a 3.7% increase from the end of 2001.
Interest-bearing deposits were 74.9% of total deposits at June 30, 2002, which
represented a decrease from the 76.7% at June 30, 2001 and remained relatively
unchanged from 74.7% at the end of last year. While total deposits increased,
noninterest-bearing deposits also increased as a percentage of total deposits.
Noninterest-bearing deposits were 23.3% of deposits at June, 2001, 25.3% at the
end of 2001 and 25.1% for the current quarter. Noninterest-bearing deposits
increased 16.9% to $1,937,270,000 as of June 30, 2002, compared to
$1,657,547,000 at June 30, 2001, and increased 2.8% compared to $1,883,878,000
at December 31, 2001.
Shareholders' equity at June 30, 2002, was $1,282,087,000, an increase of 3.6%
from $1,237,813,000 at June 30, 2001 and an increase of 4.2% from
$1,230,206,000 at December 31, 2001. The Corporation, having repurchased
258,000 shares year to date, still has prior authorizations enabling it to
repurchase up to 2.6 million shares. For more details see the Statement of
Changes in Consolidated Shareholders' Equity on page 5. Effective at the June
2002 Board meeting, the dividend rate was increased 7.1% to $.30 from $.28 per
share.
ASSET QUALITY
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, renegotiated loans and other
real estate owned (i.e., real estate acquired in foreclosure or in lieu of
foreclosure). With respect to nonaccrual loans, Bankshares' policy is that,
regardless of the value of the underlying collateral and/or guarantees, no
interest is accrued on the entire balance once either principal or interest
payments on any loan become 90 days past due at the end of a calendar quarter.
All accrued and uncollected interest on such loans is eliminated from the
income statement and is recognized only as collected. A loan may be put on
nonaccrual status sooner than this standard if, in management's judgement, such
action is warranted.
During the three months ended June 30, 2002, nonperforming assets declined
$6,218,000 to $45,341,000. Nonperforming loans, one of the components of
nonperforming assets, decreased $6,102,000 while other real estate owned, the
other
PAGE 14
component decreased $116,000. Nonperforming assets as a percent of period-end
loans and other real estate owned was .64% at June 30, 2002, .74% at March 31,
2002 and .55% at June 30, 2001, respectively. The current decline resulted from
actions taken to address credit quality issues, particularly in the leasing
business. The leasing company's portfolio accounted for $10,073,000 or 22.2% of
nonperforming loans at June 30, 2002, but only 2.5% of the outstanding
portfolio of loans and leases. At March 31, 2002, nonperforming assets in the
leasing portfolio were $19,367,000 or 37.7% of nonperforming loans. As a result
of credit quality concerns about the leasing portfolio, management previously
announced it was narrowing the focus of the leasing business and discontinuing
certain activities. These concerns are manifested in the increased allocation
to leasing of the allowance for loan losses, reflected in the 2001 Form 10-K.
Excluding the leasing portfolio, nonperforming loans are .47% of period-end
loans.
The level of "monitored" loans, or loans with characteristics suggesting that
they could be classified as nonperforming in the near future, also improved
during the quarter. At June 30, 2002, monitored loans were $7,885,000 compared
to $30,294,000 at March 31, 2002. One monitored loan of $11,347,000, to a
business dependent on the telecommunications industry, was moved to nonaccrual
status and subsequently partially charged-off. Another $14,000,000 was removed
from the monitored category based on satisfactory operating results and the
underlying value of the collateral.
The level of impaired loans improved during the quarter. At June 30, 2002,
impaired loans were $42,314,000 compared to $67,239,000 at March 31, 2002. The
$14,000,000 loan removed from monitored status was also removed from impaired
status for the same reason. This loan was not a nonaccrual loan. Also impacting
impaired loans was gross charge-offs this quarter of $14,216,000, offset by the
addition to impaired/nonaccrual status of the $11,347,000 commercial loan
previously mentioned. Impaired loans at June 30, 2002 reflected a net decrease
of $12,028,000 to $42,314,000, from $54,342,000 at December 31, 2001. This is
largely the result of gross charge-offs of $15,828,000 this year.
At December 31, 2001, 88.3% of the total impaired loans had a valuation
allowance, while 80.2% did at March 31, 2002. At June 30, 2002 the percentage
has declined to 47.3%. The decline in the portion of loans with a valuation
allowance is a result of the charge-offs taken. Several loans that were
previously shown as impaired with a valuation allowance have been written down
to the fair value of their collateral. Therefore, while these loans are still
nonaccrual and included in impaired, there is no valuation allowance assigned
based on current information.
The table below presents a comparison of nonperforming assets at June 30 and
March 31, 2002 and at the end of December 2001.

the first half of 2002, the first quarter of 2002 and the year 2001,
respectively, on nonaccrual and renegotiated loans, would have been
recorded if these loans had been accruing on their original terms
throughout the period or since origination if held for part of the period.
The amount of interest income on the nonaccrual and renegotiated loans that
was recorded totalled $458,000, $263,000 and $1,593,000 for the first six
months of 2002, the first three months of 2002 and the year 2001,
respectively.
Note: The Corporation was monitoring loans estimated to aggregate $7,885,000 at
June 30, 2002, $30,294,000 at March 31, 2002 and $15,940,000 at December 31,
2001, not classified as nonaccrual or renegotiated loans. These loans had
characteristics which indicated they might result in such classification in the
future.

Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses
Each Bankshares affiliate is required to maintain an allowance for loan losses
adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management at each
affiliate, along with Bankshares management, maintains a regular overview to
assure that adequacy. On a periodic basis, significant credit exposures,
nonperforming loans, impaired loans, historical losses by loan type and various
statistical measurements of asset quality are examined to assure the adequacy
of the allowance for loan losses.
The allowance for loan losses has been established through provisions for loan
losses charged against income. The provision for loan losses for the second
quarter of 2002 was $5,116,000, a 61.0% increase over $3,178,000 for the same
period last year and 65.9% greater than last quarter. The provision for the
first six months of 2002 was $8,199,000, an increase of 33.8% over last year's
provision of $6,129,000. Loans deemed uncollectible are charged against the
allowance for loan losses and any subsequent recoveries are credited to the
allowance. Intensive collection efforts continue after charge-off in order to
maximize recovery amounts. Charge-offs increased this year and particularly
this quarter. Credits related to the leasing business accounted for 57.1% of
the gross charge-offs this quarter. Net charge-offs were $13,227,000 for the
second quarter of 2002 compared to $370,000 for the same period in 2001. Net
charge-offs for the first half of 2002 were $14,268,000 compared to $1,136,000
last year. The allowance for loans as a percent of period-end loans was 1.90%
at June 30, 2002 and 2.07% at the end of the second quarter last year.
