2005 4Q and Year End Earnings

“I’m pleased with the performance of our new Linthicum branch which has attracted $3.8 million in deposits and $3.4 million in loans since opening in January 2005,” said Michael G. Livingston, Executive Vice President and COO. “We did an excellent job of absorbing the expenses associated with this expansion. Existing market conditions limited our opportunities to take gains on the sales of securities as compared to the previous year and it impacted our overall performance.”

Glen Burnie Bancorp declared four regular dividends and one bonus dividend in 2005. Dividends totaled 59 cents per common share outstanding which represents an 11.8 percent increase from the previous year’s dividends. In addition, Glen Burnie Bancorp declared a stock dividend of one share for every five. The fourth quarter regular dividend, bonus dividend and stock dividend were paid in January 2006.

“Our company has issued 53 consecutive quarterly dividends,” said F. William Kuethe, Jr., President and CEO. “We continue to strive to maximize value for our stockholders.”
