NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2007, 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 Article 10 of Regulation S-X 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 six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.
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 499,559 shares of common stock issued in a 20% stock dividend paid in January 2008.
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 | | 2008 | | 2007 | |
Basic and diluted: | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Net income | | $ | 604,000 | | $ | 691,000 | | $ | 1,140,000 | | $ | 1,297,000 | |
Weighted average common shares outstanding | | | 2,989,343 | | | 2,987,333 | | | 2,992,761 | | | 2,985,972 | |
Basic and dilutive net income per share | | $ | 0.20 | | $ | 0.23 | | $ | 0.38 | | $ | 0.43 | |
Diluted earnings per share calculations were not required for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, since there were no options outstanding.
NOTE 3 – REPURCHASE AND RETIREMENT OF COMMON STOCK
In February 2008, the Company approved a common stock repurchase plan to repurchase up to $1,000,000 of common stock at a price not to exceed $12.50 per share. During the three month period ended March 31, 2008, the Company repurchased and retired 10,800 shares of common stock at an average price of $11.35 per share, for a total of $122,634. During the three month period ended June 30, 2008, the Company repurchased and retired 13,000 shares of common stock at an average price of $12.27 per share, for a total of $159,434.
NOTE 4 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Emerging Issue Task Force Issue (“EITF”) No. 06-04, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreements, which established recognition of a liability and related compensation costs for endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods. In the first quarter 2008, the Company recognized a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of $179,794.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It clarifies that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. This Statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather, it provides enhanced guidance to other pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. In February 2008, the FASB agreed to defer the effective date to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. For these financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are remeasured at least annually, this statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, ‘The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company will not elect the fair value option for any of its financial assets or financial liabilities.
NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.
Fair Value Hierarchy
SFAS No. 157 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. In accordance with SFAS No. 157, these inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
o Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
o Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in active markets for similar securities)
o Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to SFAS No. 157.
The following table presents fair value measurements as of June 30, 2008:

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
When used in this discussion and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and readers are advised that various factors could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected. While it is impossible to identify all such factors, such factors include, but are not limited to, those risks identified in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
OVERVIEW
Net interest income before provision for credit losses, for the second quarter, was $2,958,000 in 2007 compared to $2,993,000 in 2008, a 1.19 % increase. Interest income for the second quarter increased from $4,465,000 in 2007 to $4,492,000 in 2008, a 0.61% increase. Total interest expense for the quarter decreased from $1,507,000 in 2007 to $1,499,000 in 2008, a 0.53% decrease. The Company realized consolidated net income of $604,000 for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $691,000 for the second quarter of 2007, a 12.59% decrease. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in provision for credit losses. Year-to-date net interest income before provision for credit losses was $5,850,000 in 2007 compared to $5,858,000 in 2008, a 0.14 % increase. Interest income year-to-date increased from $8,874,000 in 2007 to $8,905,000 in 2008, a 0.35% increase. Total interest expense year-to-date increased from $3,024,000 in 2007 to $3,047,000 in 2008, a 0.76% increase. The Company realized consolidated net income of $1,140,000 for the first six months of 2008 compared to $1,297,000 for the first six months of 2007, a 12.11% decrease. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in provision for credit losses and an increase in other non interest expenses.
Since December 31, 2007 deposits have increased by $6,504,000 and loans have increased by $15,514,000. As a result, cash and equivalents have decreased by $4,501,000 and short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta have increased by $6,282,000. These short-term borrowings are currently at rates equivalent to our average cost of deposits, however we anticipate replacing these short-term borrowings with either time deposits or long-term borrowings to reduce our interest rate volatility.
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 $604,000 ($0.20 basic and diluted earnings per share) for the second quarter of 2008, compared to the second quarter 2007 consolidated net income of $691,000 ($0.23 basic and diluted earnings per share). The decrease in consolidated net income for the three month period was due to increases in the provision for loan losses, interest expense on long-term borrowings and other expenses partially offset by increases in interest on loans, decreases in deposit expense, and a decrease in income tax expense. Year-to-date consolidated net income was $1,140,000 ($0.38 basic and diluted earnings per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 consolidated net income of $1,297,000 ($0.43 basic and diluted earnings per share).
Net Interest Income. The Company’s consolidated net interest income prior to provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was $2,993,000 and $5,858,000, respectively, compared to $2,958,000 and $5,850,000 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $35,000 (1.19%) for the three month period and an increase of $8,000 (0.14%) for the six month period.
Interest income increased $27,000 (0.61%) and $31,000 (0.35%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same periods in 2007. Interest income increased for the three and six month periods due to an increase in loan income, partially offset by a decrease in U.S. Government agency securities.
Interest expense decreased $8,000 (0.53%) and increased $23,000 (0.76%), respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same 2007 periods. The decrease in interest expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 was due to a decrease in interest paid on deposits, partially offset by an increase in interest on long-term borrowings. The increase for the six month period was due to an increase in interest on long-term borrowing, partially offset by a decrease in deposit interest.
Net interest margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 were 4.39% and 4.33%, compared to tax equivalent net interest margin of 4.43% and 4.44% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
Provision for Credit Losses. The Company made a provision for credit losses of $152,000 and $207,000 during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2008 and $20,000 and $50,000 for credit losses during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2007. As of June 30, 2008, the allowance for credit losses equaled 211.87% of non-accrual and past due loans compared to 188.27% at December 31, 2007 and 926.32% at June 30, 2007. During the three and six month period ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $73,000 and $383,000, compared to net charge-offs of $64,000 and $129,000 during the corresponding period of the prior year. On an annualized basis, net charge-offs for the 2008 period represent 0.38% of the average loan portfolio.
Other Income. Other income decreased from $515,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2007, to $514,000 for the corresponding 2008 period, a $1,000 (0.19%) decrease. For the six month period, other income decreased from $986,000 at June 30, 2007, to $982,000 for the corresponding 2008 period, a $4,000 (0.41%) decrease. The decrease for the three and six month period was primarily due to a decrease in other fees and commissions and service charges partially offset by gains on investment securities.
Other Expenses. Other expenses increased from $2,580,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2007, to $2,612,000 for the corresponding 2008 period, a $32,000 (1.24%) increase. For the six month period, other expenses increased from $5,198,000 at June 30, 2007, to $5,265,000 for the corresponding 2008 period, a $67,000 (1.29%) increase. The increase for the three month period was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits. The increase for the six month period was primarily due to an increase in other expenses.
Income Taxes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded income tax expense of $139,000 and $228,000, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $182,000 and $291,000, for the corresponding period of the prior year. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six month period in 2008 was 18.71% and 16.67%, respectively, compared to 20.85% and 18.32% for the prior year period. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three and six month period was due to a decrease in the amount of income subject to the marginal tax rate.
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 second quarter of 2008, comprehensive income, net of tax, totaled ($425,000), compared to the June 30, 2007 total of ($441,000). Year-to-date comprehensive income, net of tax, totaled $358,000, as of June 30, 2008, compared to the June 30, 2007 total of $308,000. The decrease for the three and six month period was due primarily to the increase in unrealized holding losses on available for sale securities.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
General. The Company’s assets increased to $319,374,000 at June 30, 2008 from $307,274,000 at December 31, 2007, primarily due to an increase in loans, partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents. The Bank’s net loans totaled $215,267,000 at June 30, 2008, compared to $199,753,000 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $15,514,000 (7.76%), primarily attributable to an increase in refinanced mortgages, commercial construction, mortgage participations purchased, and commercial mortgages, partially offset by a decrease in indirect loans.

NOW accounts as of June 30, 2008 totaled $21,329,000, which is a decrease of $1,826,000 (7.89%) from $23,155,000 at December 31, 2007. Money market accounts as of June 30, 2008 totaled $14,181,000, which is an increase of $1,233,000 (9.53%), from $12,948,000 at December 31, 2007. Savings deposits as of June 30, 2008 totaled $48,871,000, which is an increase of $1,489,000 (3.15%) from $47,382,000 at December 31, 2007. Certificates of deposit over $100,000 totaled $21,808,000 on June 30, 2008, which is an increase of $1,154,000 (5.59%) from $20,654,000 at December 31, 2007. Other time deposits (made up of certificates of deposit less than $100,000 and individual retirement accounts) totaled $83,504,000 on June 30, 2008, which is a $3,488,000 (4.36%) increase from the $80,016,000 total at December 31, 2007.

At June 30, 2008, 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 $0 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 three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

Reserve for Unfunded Commitments. As of June 30, 2008, the Bank had outstanding commitments totaling $35,546,000. 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 June 30, 2008.

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 December 31, 2007, the model produced the following sensitivity profile for net interest income and the economic value of equity.
| | Immediate Change in Rates | |
| | -200 | | -100 | | +100 | | +200 | |
| | Basis Points | | Basis Points | | Basis Points | | Basis Points | |
% Change in Net Interest Income | | | -9.8 | % | | -3.4 | % | | -1.1 | % | | -2.3 | % |
% Change in Economic Value of Equity | | | -17.8 | % | | -7.9 | % | | -1.3 | % | | -6.2 | % |
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 June 30, 2008, totaled $10,294,000, a decrease of $4,501,000 (30.43%) from the December 31, 2007 total of $14,795,000.
As of June 30, 2008, the Bank was permitted to draw on a $62,880,000 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 June 30, 2008, a $7.0 million long-term convertible advance was outstanding. There was also a $10 million convertible advance outstanding (callable monthly and with a final maturity of November 1, 2017.) An additional $6.3 million was drawn on FHLB for short-term liquidity needs during the second quarter and this was also outstanding. In addition the Bank has an unsecured federal funds line of credit in the amount of $7.0 million from another commercial bank. Furthermore, as of June 30, 2008, 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 decreased $617,000 (2.08%) during the three months ended June 30, 2008, due mainly to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax benefits, and an increase in common stock, offset by decreases in retained earnings and surplus. The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax benefits increased by ($782,000) (180.19%) from ($434,000) at December 31, 2007 to ($1,216,000) at June 30, 2008, as a result of a decrease in the market value of securities classified as available for sale. Retained earnings decreased by $138,000 (0.88%) as the result of the Company’s earnings for the six months, offset by dividends, the stock split done in January and the adjustment done for postretirement benefits. In addition, $86,521 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 June 30, 2008, the Bank was in full compliance with these guidelines with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.07%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 15.43% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 16.15%.
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, 2007 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”.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
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.
