Note 3 - Earnings Per Share
Basic EPS is computed based upon income available to common
shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is to reflect the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or
resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the
earnings of the Company. Information relating to the calculations of
net income per share of common stock is summarized for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30th, as follows:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
The Company
Severn Bancorp, Inc. ("Bancorp") is a savings and loan holding company
charted in the state of Maryland in 1990. It conducts business through three
subsidiaries: Severn Savings Bank, FSB (the "Bank"), its principal subsidiary;
Louis Hyatt, Inc. t/a Hyatt Real Estate, a real estate brokerage and property
management company, which Bancorp acquired in June 2001; and SBI Mortgage
Company, which engages in the origination of mortgages not suitable to the Bank.
The Bank has two branches in Anne Arundel County, Maryland which offer a full
range of deposit products, and the Bank originates mortgages in its primary
market of Anne Arundel County, Maryland and, to a lesser extent, in other parts
of Maryland, Delaware and Northern Virginia. In June 2002, the Company was
approved for listing on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, and now trades under the
symbol "SVBI".
Forward Looking Statements
In addition to the historical information contained herein, the
following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Bancorp operations and actual results could differ significantly
from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that
could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to,
changes in the economy and interest rates in the nation and Bancorp's general
market area. The forward-looking statements contained herein include, but are
not limited to, those with respect to management's determination of the amount
of loan loss allowance; the effect of changes in interest rates; and changes in
deposit insurance premiums.
Results of Operations
Net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2002 was
$2,233,557, or diluted earnings per share of $.53 as compared to $1,517,051 in
the third quarter of 2001, or diluted earnings per share of $.36. This
represents an increase of $716,506, or 47% compared to the third quarter of
2001. Earnings per share increased $.17, or 47% during that same period. The
current nine month year to date net income was $6,307,097, or $1.49 diluted
earnings per share, compared to $3,742,077, or $1.00 diluted earnings per share
for the nine month period that ended September 30, 2001. The increase was
$2,565,020, and the increase of diluted earnings per share was $.49. This
represents an increase in year to date net income between September 30, 2002 and
September 30, 2001 of 69% or a 49% increase in diluted earnings per share. The
substantial increase in net income resulted from the continuing low interest
rate environment, which increased the interest rate spread, along with the
continuation of a high volume of mortgage loan originations.
Net interest income, which is interest earned net of interest charges,
totaled $5,042,174 for the third quarter, and $14,073,116 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2002, compared to $3,476,469 for the third quarter of
2001 and $9,615,449 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2001. This
represents an increase of $1,565,705, or 45%, compared to the third quarter of
2001, and an increase of $4,457,667 or 46% for September 30, 2002 year to date
compared to September 30, 2001. This increase resulted from the reduction of the
cost of deposits and borrowings, and the continuing growth of the Company's
mortgage loan portfolio, offset in part by a decline in yield of interest
earning assets, which continues to improve Bancorp's net interest margin.
Loan loss provisions were $205,000 in the third quarter, and $445,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $114,809 for the
third quarter of 2001, and $548,669 for the nine months ended September 30,
2001. The increase in the contribution to loan loss provisions was $90,191, or
79% in comparison with the third quarter of 2002 to the third quarter of 2001.
Comparing the nine month contribution to the previous for loan losses through
September 30, 2002 to September 30, 2001, there was a decrease of $103,669, or
19%. The year to date reduction of the contribution to the loan loss provision
compared to the same period last year resulted from management's analysis that
the contribution and the total loan loss provision were adequate in light of
Bancorp's portfolio, the analysis of the general economy and other factors that
Bancorp's management deemed appropriate. The increase in the loan loss provision
during the third quarter was due to management's concern that the status of the
general economy was worsening and that there was a greater risk of loan defaults
due to the uncertainty surrounding economic conditions.
Net other income was $749,465 for the third quarter, as compared to
$807,046 for the third quarter of 2002, with nine month year to date net other
income being $2,511,226, compared to $1,641,206 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. This represents a decrease of $57,581, or 7%, comparing each
third quarter, and an increase of $870,020, or 53%, comparing the nine month
periods ended September 30, 2002 to September 30, 2001. The year to date
increase in other income included year to date real estate commissions of
$562,525, and management fees of $254,233, earned by Hyatt Real Estate, a
subsidiary of Bancorp, that was acquired in June 2001. Gain on sale of loans
increased from $625,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $860,921
for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, which is an increase of $235,921,
or 38%. This result was due to the high volume of loan originations that were
sold in the secondary market by the Bank. The decrease in net other income
during the third quarter was due to a reduction in real estate commissions and
management fees earned by the Company's subsidiary, Hyatt Real Estate, compared
to the third quarter of 2001, as a result of the weakness in commercial real
estate market, and that company's decision to withdraw from the residential
condominium association management business, and a reduction in the gain on sale
of loans by the Bank compared to the third quarter of 2001 because the Bank sold
fewer loans and retained more for its portfolio in the third quarter of 2002
than in the third quarter of 2001.
Total non-interest expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
2002 were $5,825,227 compared to $4,603,828 for the nine months ended September
30, 2001. Third quarter 2002 non-interest expense was $1,948,119 compared to
$1,690,994 for the third quarter of 2001. This was an increase in year to date
non-interest expense of $1,221,399, or 27%, and an increase between the third
quarter of 2002 and the third quarter of 2001 of $257,125, or 15%. The growth in
this expense resulted primarily from an increase in compensation and related
expenses, which increased $245,717 between the third quarter of 2002 and the
third quarter of 2001, and by $952,515, or 31%, for the nine month period ending
September 30, 2002 compared to the same period ended September 30, 2001. The
increase in compensation and related expenses is directly related to the high
volume of mortgage loan originations during this period. Mortgage loan officers
are compensated in the form of commissions, based upon loans originated, and as
a result, as mortgage originations increase the commissions earned by loan
officers also increase. Other expenses were $440,961 for the third quarter 2002
compared to $436,524 for the third quarter of 2001, and increased from
$1,153,208 to $1,395,341 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared
to the nine months ended September 30, 2002. That was an increase of $242,133,
or 21%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in
other expenses was related to increased mortgage origination activity as well as
the operating expenses of Hyatt Real Estate. Additionally, the year to date
increase includes expenses of the preparation and filing of Bancorp's Form 10
Registration Statement filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission on or about April 15, 2002. Such expenses include, but are not
limited to, legal and accounting fees.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $1,404,963 for the third quarter of 2002, and
$4,007,018 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $960,661
for the third quarter of 2001, and $2,362,081 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. This was an increase of $444,302, or 46% between the third
quarter of 2002 and the third quarter of 2001, and an increase of $1,644,937 or
70%, between the nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and September 30,
2001. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2002 and 2001 was 38.6%
and 38.8%, respectively, and for the nine month year to date 2002 and 2001, it
was 38.8% and 38.7% respectively.
Analysis of Financial Condition
Total assets at September 30, 2002 increased to $435,212,375 from
$366,890,087 at December 2001 representing an increase of $68,322,288 or 19%.
Continued mortgage origination activity resulted in net loans receivable
increasing to $398,438,720 as of September 30, 2002 from $335,142,276 as of
December 31, 2001 representing an increase of $63,296,444 or 19%. Total deposits
as of September 30, 2002 increased to $358,959,815 from $286,917,568 as of
December 31, 2001 which represents an increase of $72,042,247 or 25%. This
increase is primarily attributable to an ongoing campaign by the Bank to attract
money market deposit accounts. The influx of retail deposits fulfilled the
Bank's liquidity needs to fund this period's loan originations and allowed the
Bank to continue to reduce FHLB borrowings. Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)
advances decreased by $9,000,000, or 21%, from $42,000,000 as of December 31,
2001 to $33,000,000 as of September 30, 2002. This decrease is a result of the
ability to rely upon retail deposits during this period.
Stockholders Equity
Total stockholders equity was $40,563,074 as of September 30, 2002
compared to $34,830,882 as of December 31, 2001, or an increase of $5,732,192 or
16%. This increase resulted from the current nine month period net earnings,
offset slightly by common and preferred stock dividends.
Asset Quality
Non-accrual loans (those loans 90 or more days in arrears) were
$1,159,411 as of September 30, 2002 compared to $2,101,072 as of December 31,
2001. At September 30, 2002 the total allowance for loan losses was $3,798,374,
which is .94% of total loans, compared with $3,353,375, which was .99% of total
loans as of December 31, 2001. The adequacy of the allowance is monitored
monthly. Bancorp's management believes the allowance is adequate as of September
30, 2002.
Liquidity
Bancorp's liquidity is determined by its ability to raise funds through
loan payments, maturing investments, deposits, borrowed funds, capital, or the
sale of loans. Based on the internal and external sources available, Bancorp's
liquidity position exceeded anticipated short-term and long-term needs at
September 30, 2002. Additionally, loan payments, maturities, deposit growth and
earnings contribute a flow of funds available to meet liquidity requirements.
In assessing its liquidity the management of Bancorp considers
operating requirements, anticipated deposit flows, expected funding of loans,
deposit maturities and borrowing availability, so that sufficient funds may be
available on short notice to meet obligations as they arise so that Bancorp may
take advantage of business opportunities.
Management believes it has sufficient cash flow and liquidity to meet
its current commitments. Certificates of deposit, which are scheduled to mature
in less than one year at September 30, 2002 totaled $115,248,377. Based on past
experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will
remain with the Bank. At September 30, 2002, Bancorp had commitments to
originate loans of $787,738, unused lines of credit of $24,865,000, and
commitments under standby letters of credit of $5,437,000. The Bank has the
ability to reduce its commitments for new loan originations, adjust other cash
outflows, and borrow from the FHLB of Atlanta should the need arise. As of
September 30, 2002, outstanding FHLB borrowings totaled $33,000,000, and the
Bank had available up to an additional $75,000,000 in borrowing availability
from the FHLB of Atlanta.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,533,866 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 compared to net cash used by operating
activities of ($557,031) for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Net cash
used by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was
$64,803,091 compared to $44,607,439 for the nine months ended September 30,
2001, which is an increase of $20,195,652. Net cash provided by financing
activities was $61,691,578 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as
compared to $48,828,066 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, which is
an increase of $12,863,512. As a result, cash and cash equivalents were
$6,460,812 as of September 30, 2002 which was an increase of $1,790,129 as
compared to $4,670,683 as of September 30, 2001 . During the current nine month
period cash provided by increased deposits was offset by cash used for strong
loan origination activity and repayment of $9,000,000 in borrowed funds.
Effects of Inflation
The Consolidated Financial Statements and related consolidated
financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and practices
within the banking industry which require the measurement of financial condition
and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering the
changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of
a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have
a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than the
effects of general levels of inflation.

The following table presents the distribution of the average
consolidated balance sheets, interest income/expense, and annualized yields
