NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been included in the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.
NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share of common stock are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by including the average dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options, calculated using the treasury stock method.
Information for net income, dividends declared per share, basic and diluted earnings per share, and weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for prior periods have been restated to reflect 411,101 shares of common stock issued in a 20% stock dividend paid in January 2006.

NOTE 3 - EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE BENEFIT PLANS
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (“SFAS 123R”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123R supersedes the Company’s previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”) for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2005. The Company elected to use the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS 123R, and therefore has not restated its financial results for prior periods, as reported under the intrinsic value method.
The Company has an employee stock purchase compensation plan. During the second quarter of 2006, the Board of Directors granted 4,755 options under this plan at $14.15 per share, exercisable for a period of six months and expiring December 11, 2006, of which 405 options have been exercised as of September 30, 2006. Management of the Company has not recorded any compensation expense relating to these options as there would be no material impact in reported net income, as determined under 123(R).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General. Glen Burnie Bancorp, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and its subsidiaries, The Bank of Glen Burnie (the “Bank”) and GBB Properties, Inc., both Maryland corporations, and Glen Burnie Statutory Trust I, a Connecticut business trust, had consolidated net income of $772,000 ($0.31 basic and diluted earnings per share) for the third quarter of 2006, compared to third quarter 2005 consolidated net income of $742,000 ($0.30 basic and diluted earnings per share). The increase in consolidated net income for the three month period was due to an increase in gains on investment securities and a decrease in various operating expenses partially offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits. Year-to-date consolidated net income of $2,111,000 ($0.85 basic and diluted earnings per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, increased compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005 consolidated net income of $2,104,000 ($0.85 basic and diluted earnings per share). This increase in consolidated net income was primarily due to an increase in tax exempt interest income, an increase in other income and a decrease in other expenses, partially offset by an increase in interest expense for the period.
Net Interest Income. The Company’s consolidated net interest income prior to provision for credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $2,954,000 and $8,889,000 respectively, compared to $3,014,000 and $8,972,000 for the same period in 2005, a decrease of $60,000 (1.99%) for the three month period and a decrease of $83,000 (0.93%) for the nine month period.
Interest income increased $398,000 (9.72%) and $1,142,000 (9.54%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the same periods in 2005, primarily due to increases in income on U.S. Government securities, state and municipal securities and other interest-bearing deposits. The nine month period increase also included an increase in loan income.
Interest expense increased $458,000 (42.41%) and $1,225,000 (40.85%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the same 2005 periods. Interest expense increased for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, primarily attributable to increases in interest rates on certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts combined with increasing balances of interest bearing deposits.
Net interest margins for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 were 4.30% and 4.32%, compared to tax equivalent net interest margins of 4.45% and 4.54% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Provision for Credit Losses. The Company made no provision for credit losses during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and a reverse provision for credit losses of $50,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. As of September 30, 2006, the allowance for credit losses equaled 1,491.94% of non-accrual and past due loans compared to 1,164.55% at December 31, 2005 and 1,227.57% at September 30, 2005. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $312,000 and $351,000, compared to a net recovery of $106,000 and to a net charge-off of $91,000 during the corresponding periods of the prior year. On an annualized basis, net charge-offs for the 2006 period represent 0.25% of the average loan portfolio.
Other Income. Other income increased from $551,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2005, to $610,000 for the corresponding 2006 period, a $59,000 (10.71%) increase. For the nine month period, other income increased to $1,618,000 at September 30, 2006 from $1,581,000 at September 30, 2005, a $37,000 (2.34%) increase. The increase for the three and nine month periods were primarily due to an increase in gains on investment securities and other fees and commissions partially offset by a decrease in service charges.
Other Expenses. Other expenses decreased from $2,680,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2005, to $2,652,000 for the corresponding 2006 period, a $28,000 (1.04%) decrease. For the nine month period, other expenses decreased from $8,007,000 at September 30, 2005 to $8,003,000 at September 30, 2006, a $4,000 (0.05%) decrease. The decrease for the three and nine month periods were primarily due to a decrease in other operating expenses partially offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits.
Income Taxes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded income tax expense of $140,000 and $393,000, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $193,000 and $492,000, for the corresponding periods of the prior year. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods in 2006 were 15.4% and 15.7%, respectively, compared to 20.6% and 19.0%, respectively for the prior year periods. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months was due to increases in income on tax exempt securities.
Comprehensive Income. In accordance with regulatory requirements, the Company reports comprehensive income in its financial statements. Comprehensive income consists of the Company’s net income, adjusted for unrealized gains and losses on the Bank’s investment portfolio of investment securities. For the third quarter of 2006, comprehensive income, net of tax, totaled $2,516,000, compared to the September 30, 2005 total of $76,000. Year-to-date comprehensive income, net of tax, totaled $2,151,000, as of September 30, 2006, compared to the September 30, 2005 total of $1,463,000. The increase for the third quarter and year-to-date, from the prior year, is due primarily to the increase in unrealized gains on available for sale securities.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
General. The Company’s assets increased to $322,592,000 at September 30, 2006 from $306,561,000 at December 31, 2005, primarily due to an increase in investment securities and other assets, partially offset by a decrease in loans and cash and cash equivalents. The Bank’s net loans totaled $180,677,000 at September 30, 2006, compared to $190,205,000 at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $9,528,000 (5.01%), primarily attributable to a decrease in indirect loans, commercial demand loans and mortgage loan participations purchased, partially offset by an increase in mortgage loans.
In January of 2006, management initiated a plan to increase net interest income by reducing its portfolio of lower yielding loans, acquiring additional deposits, expanding its customer base and increasing the Bank’s higher yielding commercial loan portfolio. As part of this plan, the Bank has reduced its portfolio of lower yielding indirect loans and has attracted additional deposits by offering, on an introductory basis, a new fifteen month personal certificate of deposit product at an interest rate of 5%, which at that time was above market. This introductory offer, which has since ended, has resulted in a total of $27,409,000 in other time deposits and certificates of deposit over $100,000 during the nine month period. In anticipation of utilizing these funds to increase the Bank’s commercial loan portfolio, the proceeds are currently being invested in marketable securities and overnight deposits making them readily available to fund loans. In addition, the Bank hired a new commercial loan officer in the first quarter of 2006 to increase its ability to reach this market segment.
The Company’s total investment securities portfolio (including both investment securities available for sale and investment securities held to maturity) totaled $116,867,000 at September 30, 2006, a $29,587,000 (33.90%) increase from $87,280,000 at December 31, 2005. The Bank’s cash and cash equivalents (cash due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, and federal funds sold), as of September 30, 2006, totaled $11,317,000, a decrease of $4,133,000 (26.75%) from the December 31, 2005 total of $15,450,000. The aggregate market value of investment securities held by the Bank as of September 30, 2006 was $116,919,000 compared to $87,368,000 as of December 31, 2005, a $29,551,000 (33.83%) increase.
Deposits as of September 30, 2006 totaled $279,923,000, which is an increase of $14,675,000 (5.54%) from $265,248,000 at December 31, 2005. Demand deposits as of September 30, 2006 totaled $75,182,000, which is a decrease of $4,132,000 (5.21%) from $79,314,000 at December 31, 2005. NOW accounts as of September 30, 2006 totaled
$23,667,000, which is a decrease of 1,724,000 (6.79%) from $25,391,000 at December 31, 2005. Money market accounts as of September 30, 2006 totaled $14,796,000, which is a decrease of $1,951,000 (11.65%), from $16,747,000 at December 31, 2005. Savings deposits as of September 30, 2006 totaled $51,747,000, which is a decrease of $3,473,000 (6.29%) from $55,220,000 at December 31, 2005. Certificates of deposit over $100,000 totaled $23,036,000 on September 30, 2006, which is an increase of $6,277,000 (37.46%) from $16,759,000 at December 31, 2005. Other time deposits (made up of certificates of deposit less than $100,000 and individual retirement accounts) totaled $91,495,000 on September 30, 2006, which is a $19,678,000 (27.40%) increase from the $71,817,000 total at December 31, 2005.

| | | | | | | | |
At September 30, 2006, there were no loans outstanding, other than those reflected in the above table, as to which known information about possible credit problems of borrowers caused management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms. Such loans consist of loans which were not 90 days or more past due but where the borrower is in bankruptcy or has a history of delinquency, or the loan to value ratio is considered excessive due to deterioration of the collateral or other factors. Reflected in the above table are $9,478 of prior period troubled debt restructurings that are now not performing under the terms of their modified agreements.
Allowance For Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses is established through a provision for credit losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for credit losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The allowance, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience, is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan
portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions and trends that may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay.
Transactions in the allowance for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

Reserve for Unfunded Commitments. As of September 30, 2006, the Bank had outstanding commitments totaling $23,059,361. These outstanding commitments consisted of letters of credit, undrawn lines of credit, and other loan commitments. The following table shows the Bank’s reserve for unfunded commitments arising from these transactions:

MARKET RISK AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates or equity pricing. The Company’s principal market risk is interest rate risk that arises from its lending, investing and deposit taking activities. The Company’s profitability is dependent on the Bank’s net interest income. Interest rate risk can significantly affect net interest income to the degree that interest bearing liabilities mature or reprice at different intervals than interest earning assets. The Bank’s Asset/Liability and Risk Management Committee oversees the management of interest rate risk. The primary purpose of the committee is to manage the exposure of net interest margins to unexpected changes due to interest rate fluctuations. The Company does not utilize derivative financial or commodity instruments or hedging strategies in its management of interest rate risk. The primary tool used by the committee to monitor interest rate risk is a “gap” report which measures the dollar difference between the amount of interest bearing assets and interest bearing liabilities subject to repricing within a given time period. These efforts affect the loan pricing and deposit rate policies of the Company as well as the asset mix, volume guidelines, and liquidity and capital planning.
The following table sets forth the Company’s interest-rate sensitivity at September 30, 2006.

The foregoing analysis assumes that the Company’s assets and liabilities move with rates at their earliest repricing opportunities based on final maturity. Mortgage backed securities are assumed to mature during the period in which they are estimated to prepay and it is assumed that loans and other securities are not called prior to maturity. Certificates of deposit and IRA accounts are presumed to reprice at maturity. NOW savings accounts are assumed to reprice at within three months although it is the Company’s experience that such accounts may be less sensitive to changes in market rates.
In addition to GAP analysis, the Bank utilizes a simulation model to quantify the effect a hypothetical immediate plus or minus 200 basis point change in rates would have on net interest income and the economic value of equity. The model takes into consideration the effect of call features of investments as well as prepayments of loans in periods of declining rates. When actual changes in interest rates occur, the changes in interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities may differ from the assumptions used in the model. As of June 30, 2006, the model produced the following sensitivity profile for net interest income and the economic value of equity.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company currently has no business other than that of the Bank and does not currently have any material funding commitments. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and dividends received from the Bank. The Bank is subject to various regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends.
The Bank’s principal sources of funds for investments and operations are net income, deposits from its primary market area, principal and interest payments on loans, interest received on investment securities and proceeds from maturing investment securities. Its principal funding commitments are for the origination or purchase of loans and the payment of maturing deposits. Deposits are considered a primary source of funds supporting the Bank’s lending and investment activities.
The Bank’s most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which are cash on hand, amounts due from financial institutions, federal funds sold, certificates of deposit with other financial institutions that have an original maturity of three months or less and money market mutual funds. The levels of such assets are dependent on the Bank’s operating, financing and investment activities at any given time. The variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced by deposit flows and anticipated future deposit flows. The Bank’s cash and cash equivalents (cash due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, and federal funds sold), as of September 30, 2006, totaled $11,317,000, a decrease of $4,133,000 (26.75%) from the December 31, 2005 total of $15,450,000.
As of September 30, 2006, the Bank was permitted to draw on a $38,600,000 line of credit from the FHLB of Atlanta. Borrowings under the line are secured by a floating lien on the Bank’s residential mortgage loans. As of September 30, 2006, a $7.0 million long-term convertible advance was outstanding. In addition the Bank has an unsecured line of credit in the amount of $5.0 million from another commercial bank on which it has not drawn. Furthermore, as of September 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding $5,155,000 of its 10.6% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures issued to Glen Burnie Statutory Trust I, a Connecticut statutory trust subsidiary of the Company.
The Company’s stockholders’ equity increased $1,432,000 (5.38%) during the nine months ended September 30 , 2006, due mainly to a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax benefits, offset partially by increases in all the other items. The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax benefits decreased by $40,000 (17.40%) from ($230,000) at December 31, 2005 to ($190,000) at September 30, 2006, as a result of an increase in the market value of securities classified as available for sale. Retained earnings increased by $809,000 (6.07%) as the result of the Company’s earnings for the nine months, offset by dividends and the stock dividend paid in January. In addition, $165,286 was transferred within stockholders’ equity in consideration for shares to be issued under the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan in lieu of cash dividends.
The Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have established guidelines with respect to the maintenance of appropriate levels of capital by bank holding companies and state non-member banks, respectively. The regulations impose two sets of capital adequacy requirements: minimum leverage rules, which require bank holding companies and banks to maintain a specified minimum ratio of capital to total assets, and risk-based capital rules, which require the maintenance of specified minimum ratios of capital to “risk-weighted” assets. At September 30, 2006, the Bank was in full compliance with these guidelines with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.01%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 16.77% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 17.82%.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The Company’s accounting policies are more fully described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and are essential to understanding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. As discussed there, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Management has used the best information available to make the estimations necessary to value the related assets and liabilities based on historical experience and on various assumptions which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The Company reevaluates these variables as facts and circumstances change. Historically, actual results have not differed significantly from the Company’s estimates. The following is a summary of the more judgmental accounting estimates and principles involved in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, including the identification of the variables most important in the estimation process:
Allowance for Credit Losses. The Bank’s allowance for credit losses is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the actual events occur, including historical losses as an indicator of future losses, fair market value of
collateral, and various general or industry or geographic specific economic events. The use of these estimates and values is inherently subjective and the actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates. For further information regarding the Bank’s allowance for credit losses, see “Allowance for Credit Losses”, above.
Accrued Taxes. Management estimates income tax expense based on the amount it expects to owe various tax authorities. Accrued taxes represent the net estimated amount due or to be received from taxing authorities. In estimating accrued taxes, management assesses the relative merits and risks of the appropriate tax treatment of transactions taking into account statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance in the context of the Company’s tax position.
For information regarding the market risk of the Company’s financial instruments, see “Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.
The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated this system of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, and believe that the system is effective. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
