                                     PART I
ITEM 1.  Business

         Glen Burnie Bancorp (the "Company") is a bank holding company organized
in 1990 under the laws of the State of Maryland and located in Anne Arundel
County, Maryland. It presently owns all outstanding shares of capital stock of
The Bank of Glen Burnie (the "Bank"), a commercial bank organized in 1949 under
the laws of the State of Maryland, basically serving Anne Arundel County and
surrounding areas. The Bank is engaged in the commercial and retail banking
business as authorized by the banking statutes of the State of Maryland,
including the receiving of demand and time deposits, and the making of loans to
individuals, associations, partnerships and corporations. Real estate financing
consists of residential first and second mortgage loans, home equity lines of
credit and commercial mortgage loans. Commercial lending consists of both
secured and unsecured loans. The Bank's deposits are insured up to applicable
limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").

Memoranda of Understanding

         Effective June 13, 1996, the Board of Directors, the FDIC and the
Maryland State Bank Commissioner (the "Commissioner") entered into a Memorandum
of Understanding ("M.O.U.") which required the Bank to establish written
programs to reduce classified assets and contingent liabilities and to report to
the FDIC and the Commissioner quarterly on the status of such assets and
liabilities, to collect or charge-off certain classified loans, to maintain
ratios relating to capital and to delinquent and non-accrual loans, to provide
the FDIC and the Commissioner with thirty days notice prior to dividend
declaration, to develop an internal loan review and grading system, policies for
loan underwriting and administration, a strategic plan for improving operations
and budgets, and policies and monitoring systems for liquidity and interest rate
risk, to evaluate the allowance for loan and lease losses quarterly, to engage a
chief lending officer, to cease any violations of law or regulations cited by
the FDIC or the Commissioner, and to establish a committee of three directors to
monitor compliance with the M.O.U.

         Effective July 10, 1997, the Board of Directors entered into a revised
Memorandum of Understanding (the "Revised M.O.U.")with the FDIC and the
Commissioner which supersedes the June 13, 1996 M.O.U. Under the Revised M.O.U.,
the Bank may not declare or pay any dividends to the Company without the prior
written consent of the FDIC and the Commissioner if the ratio of the Bank's Tier
1 capital to assets would be less than 6.0%. Dividends to the Company may not
exceed 50% of net operating income after taxes for the period declared without
the prior written consent of the FDIC and the Commissioner. Within 360 days of
the Effective Date

                                        2





of the Revised M.O.U., the Bank is required to reduce its classified assets to
25% of Tier 1 Capital plus its Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and to reduce
its ratio of non-accrual loans and loans 30 days or more past due to no more
than 3.5% of gross loans. Additionally, the Bank will adopt and implement an
internal loan review and grading system meeting certain criteria and make
certain changes in existing policies and in its strategic plan.

         Should the Bank fail to comply with the provisions of the M.O.U., the
FDIC or the Commissioner could seek to impose greater sanctions in the Bank.
Enforcement actions may include the issuance of formal and informal agreements,
the imposition of civil money penalties and the issuance of a cease-and-desist
order that can be judicially enforced. Neither the FDIC nor the Commissioner has
sought to initiate any such measures.

Recent Loan Loss Experience Involving Significant Borrowers

         During its 1995 fiscal year, the Bank had outstanding loans to Brian
Davis and various entities affiliated with him aggregating approximately
$5,804,000. The major borrowers in the affiliated group have filed bankruptcy
proceedings and significant recovery by the Bank on these loans is unlikely. As
a result of the foregoing, approximately $4,533,000 of these loans have been
charged-off.

         Mr. Davis has pled guilty to committing fraud against the Bank and
various other banks. Stephen Boyd, the Bank's former chief lending officer, has
been indicted by a Federal grand jury for the District of Maryland on charges of
fraud against the Bank. The grand jury has alleged, among other things, that he
approved and recommended loans for Davis and his affiliates and in addition
approved loans from the Bank of approximately $500,000 to "straw men" the
proceeds of which he knew were for the benefit of Davis in violation of the
Bank's limit on the amount that could be lent to related borrowers. In return,
it is alleged, he received cash, gifts and other benefits from Davis and his
affiliates of approximately $10,000. Boyd's attorney has publicly stated that he
intends to plead not guilty to the charges. The United States Attorney's Office
has stated that the investigation which led to Boyd's indictment and Davis's
conviction is continuing.

         One of the borrowers affiliated with Davis has brought a proceeding
against the Bank seeking damages for fraud. The Bank denies the asserted
allegations. See "Item 3. -- Legal Proceedings."

         An equipment and automobile leasing entity and its affiliates had
approximately $6,218,000 in outstanding lease

                                        3





loans as of December 31, 1996. 3.29% of the principal balances of these loans
were over thirty days delinquent as of April 30, 1997. The Bank has ceased
approving new loans for these customers due to concerns about the quality of
certain of the loans and leases.

         Certain other customers hold secured commercial real estate loans. The
outstanding principal amount of some of these loans exceeds ten percent (10%) of
the consolidated revenues of the Company and its subsidiaries; however, the
required annual debt service payments under each such loan does not exceed ten
percent (10%) of the Company's consolidated revenues. The Company does not
believe that the retirement of these loans or loss of such business, should it
occur for any reason, would have a material adverse effect on the Bank's
business.

Strategic Plan

         In order to enhance its business and resolve certain of the problems it
has faced as described above and pursuant to the M.O.U., the Bank has adopted a
strategic plan (the "Strategic Plan"). The objectives of the Strategic Plan are
to increase returns on average assets and average equity to set percentages
within set time frames, improve the Bank's efficiency ratio (non-interest
expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income),
decrease delinquent loans and classified assets as a percentage of total loans
within set time periods, increase the ratio of total loans to total assets
within a set time period while maintaining and improving asset quality, increase
total deposits to a set amount within a set time period, build capital to a set
percentage of assets within set time periods while continuing to make a dividend
payment, maintain regulatory compliance and improve effectiveness of corporate
structure and communications. The Strategic Plan establishes strategies and
action plans to seek to meet these objectives. It is subject to review by the
FDIC and the Commissioner.

Lending Activities

         The Bank offers a full range of consumer and commercial loans. The
Bank's lending activities include residential and commercial real estate loans,
construction loans, land acquisition and development loans, equipment and
automobile lease financing, commercial loans and consumer installment lending.
Substantially all of the Bank's loan customers are residents of Anne Arundel
County and surrounding areas of Central Maryland. The Bank solicits loan
applications for commercial loans from small to medium sized businesses located
in its market area. The Bank believes that this is a market in which a
relatively small community bank, like the Bank, has a competitive advantage in
personal service and flexibility. The Bank's lease financing

                                        4





portfolio consists of loans purchased from third party originators.

         During the last fiscal year, the Bank's loan portfolio significantly
decreased in size primarily due to declines in the size of construction and land
development portfolio and in its lease financing and demand and time loan
portfolio. The declines in the construction and land development portfolio
reflect the significant increase in such lending in fiscal year 1994 which was
not sustained in subsequent years. The Bank has decided to decrease its
equipment and automobile lease-based lending because of the difficulties
encountered in monitoring the financial condition of borrowers on purchased
leases. The declines in the demand and time loan portfolio reflect in part the
substantial charge-offs which the Bank has taken during the past two fiscal
years. See "-- Recent Loan Loss Experience Involving Significant Borrowers."

portfolio at the indicated dates.

         Although the risk of non-payment for any reason exists with respect to
all loans, certain other specific risks are associated with each type of loan.
The primary risks associated with commercial loans, including commercial real
estate loans, are the quality of the borrower's management and a number of
economic and other factors which induce business failures and depreciate the
value of business assets pledged to secure the loan, including competition,
insufficient capital, product obsolescence, changes in the cost of production,
environmental hazards, weather, changes in laws and regulations and general
changes in the marketplace. Primary risks associated with residential real
estate loans include fluctuating land and property values and rising interest
rates with respect to fixed-rate, long-term loans. Residential construction
lending exposes the Company to risks related to builder performance. Consumer
loans are affected primarily by domestic instability and a variety of factors
that may lead to the borrower's unemployment, including deteriorating economic
conditions in one or more segments of a local or broader economy.

         Under Maryland law, the maximum amount which the Bank is permitted to
lend to any one borrower and their related interests may generally not exceed
10% of the Bank's unimpaired capital and surplus which is defined to include the
Bank's capital, surplus, retained earnings and 50% of its reserve for possible
loan losses. Under this authority, the Bank would be permitted to lend up to
$2.1 million to any one borrower at December 31, 1996. By interpretive ruling of
the Commissioner, Maryland banks have the option of lending up to the amount
that would be permissible for a national bank which is generally 15% of
unimpaired capital and surplus defined to include the Bank's total capital for
regulatory capital purposes plus any loan loss allowances not included in
regulatory capital. Under this formula, the Bank would have been permitted to
lend up to $3.4 million to any one borrower at December 31, 1996. It is
currently the Bank's policy to limit its exposure to any one borrower to no more
than $1.8 million in the aggregate. At December 31, 1996, the largest amount
outstanding to any one borrower and their related interests was $3.2 million.

Non-Performing Loans

         It is the current policy of the Bank to discontinue the accrual of
interest when a loan becomes 90 days or more delinquent and circumstances
indicate that collection is doubtful. For fiscal years prior to the 1996 fiscal
year, the Bank's policy was to consider real estate loans on a case-by-case
basis subject to collateral. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996,
interest of $457,035 would have been accrued on such loans if such loans had
been current in accordance with their original terms.

         At December 31, 1996, there were $1,408,000 in loans outstanding not
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.

         The Bank identified impaired loans of $5,953,621 as of December 31,
1996. An allowance of $1,232,366 was provided as a specific reserve related to
impaired loans.

         These loans were identified as impaired and payments were received of
$377,330 on these loans in 1996 after they were classified impaired.

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.

         The Bank's high level of loan charge-offs during the last two fiscal
years is primarily attributable to its lending relationships with Brian Davis
and various affiliated entities. See "-- Recent Loan Loss Experience Involving
Significant Borrowers." Such loans primarily consisted of loans for purchases of
trucks and other non-real estate secured loans which are categorized under
commercial loans in the above table. In addition, during fiscal year 1996, the
Bank began charging off all non-real estate secured loans upon 90 days
delinquency which contributed to a continued high level of charge-offs.

         The following table shows the allowance for credit losses broken down
by loan category as of December 31, 1996. Such information for earlier periods
is not available. The Bank contemplates that the percentage of the total
allowance for credit losses allocable to each loan category will not vary
significantly during 1997 but the amount allocated to each category and the
total allowance will decrease.

Competition

         The Bank faces competition from other community banks and financial
institutions and larger intrastate and interstate banks and financial
institutions compete vigorously (currently, twelve financial institutions
operate within two miles of the Bank's

                                       11





headquarters). Former directors of the bank, including its former Chief
Executive Officer, have established County National Bank with a main office in
Glen Burnie close to the Bank's headquarters. The Bank anticipates that County
National Bank will solicit a significant number of its customers.

         The Bank's interest rates, loan and deposit terms, and offered products
and services are governed, to a large extent, by such competition. The Bank
attempts to provide superior service within its community and to know and
facilitate services to its customers. It seeks commercial relationships with
small to medium size businesses which, it believes, would welcome personal
service and flexibility. While it believes it is the sixth largest deposit
holder in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, with an estimated 5.74% market share as
of June 1996 (the latest date for which the Bank has relevant data available),
it believes its greatest competition comes from smaller community banks which
offer similar personalized services.

Federal and State Regulation

         The Company, as a bank holding company, is subject to regulation by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board")
under the Bank Holding Company Act. It is registered with the Federal Reserve
Board and is subject to Federal Reserve Board regulation, examination,
supervision and reporting requirements. The Company is required to furnish to
the Federal Reserve Board annual and quarterly reports of its operations and
such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require. It is
subject to regular inspection by Federal Reserve Board examiners.

         Under the Bank Holding Company Act, the Company may not engage in any
business other than managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to its
subsidiaries, except that it may engage in certain activities which, in the
opinion of the Federal Reserve Board, are so closely related to banking or to
managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. The Company is
also prohibited, with certain exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect
ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company unless
the company is engaged in such permitted activities. The Bank Holding Company
Act also prohibits a bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries from
acquiring voting shares or substantially all the assets of any bank holding
company or bank, or from merging or consolidating with any other bank holding
company, unless such acquisition is approved by the Federal Reserve Board. Under
Maryland law, a bank holding company is prohibited from acquiring control of any
bank if, as a result of such acquisition, the bank holding company would control
more than 30% of the total deposits of all

                                       12





depository institutions in the State of Maryland unless such limit is waived by
the Commissioner.

         The Federal Reserve Board has the power to prohibit dividends by bank
holding companies if their actions constitute unsafe or unsound practices. The
Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy statement on the payment of cash
dividends by bank holding companies, which expresses the Federal Reserve Board's
view that a bank holding company should pay cash dividends only to the extent
that the company's net income for the past year is sufficient to cover both the
cash dividends and a rate of earning retention that is consistent with the
company's capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial condition. The
Federal Reserve Board has been advised that the Company has paid dividends
during 1995 and 1996, despite its losses, and has raised no objections.

         The Company's primary source of funds is the receipt of dividends from
its subsidiaries. The Bank's ability to make such payments to the Company is
subject to certain statutory and regulatory restrictions. Under Maryland law,
Maryland banks may only pay dividends from undivided profits (which the Bank,
with the apparent acquiescence of the Commissioner, has interpreted to include
retained earnings in excess of capital and surplus) or, with the prior approval
of the Commissioner, their surplus in excess of 100% of required capital stock
(defined as the number of outstanding shares of capital stock times its par
value). The Bank has been able to pay dividends despite recent losses due to its
substantial retained earnings. Every Maryland bank is prohibited from declaring
dividends on its shares of common stock in excess of 90% of net earnings unless
its surplus fund equals the amount of required capital stock. The Bank's
allocated surplus currently exceeds the amount of its required capital stock. In
addition, banks are prohibited by Federal statute from paying dividends or
making other capital distributions that would cause them to fail to meet their
regulatory capital requirements. The FDIC also has the authority to prohibit the
payment of dividends if it determines such payments to constitute unsafe or
unsound banking practices. Pursuant to the Revised M.O.U., the Bank may not pay
dividends to the Company without prior approval of the FDIC and the Commissioner
if its Tier 1 capital ratio would be less than 6.0% or such dividends would
exceed 50% of net operating income after taxes. See " -- Memoranda of
Understanding."

         Banks are extensively regulated under both Federal and state law. The
Bank, as a Maryland state chartered bank, is subject to primary supervision,
periodic examination and regulation by the Commissioner and the FDIC. Although
the Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, it is nevertheless
subject to certain regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. State and Federal
statutes and regulations relate to many aspects of the Bank's

                                       13





operations, including reserves against deposits, loans, investments,
transactions with affiliates, mergers and acquisitions, borrowings, dividends
and locations of branch offices. The FDIC and the Commissioner regularly examine
the operations of the Bank, which must file quarterly and annual reports with
such agencies. Such requirements are intended for the protection of the Bank's
depositors and not its stockholder.

         The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by Federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum
capital requirements can initiate certain actions by regulators that, if
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial
statements. The Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance
sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting principles. The Bank's
capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by
the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

         As of December 31, 1996, the Bank's "Tier 1" capital (consisting of
stockholders' equity, excluding unrealized after tax net gain or loss on
investment securities available for sale) was $17,367,000. Its ratio of Tier 1
capital to risk-weighted assets (12.0% as of December 31, 1996), total capital
to risk-weighted assets (12.5% as of December 31, 1996) and leverage ratio of
Tier 1 capital to average assets (7.0% as of December 31, 1996) exceed the
minimum ratios required by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

         As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the FDIC
categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must
maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios.
There are no conditions or events since that notification that the Bank believes
have changed the institution's categorization, although there can be no
assurance that the Bank will continue to meet the minimum ratios necessary to
maintain such categorization.

Other Activities

         The Company also owns all outstanding shares of capital stock of GBB
Properties, Inc. ("GBB"), another Maryland corporation which was organized in
1994 and which is engaged in the business of acquiring, holding and disposing of
real property, typically acquired in connection with foreclosure proceedings (or
deeds in lieu of foreclosure) instituted by the Bank or acquired in connection
with branch expansions by the Bank. No branch expansion occurred in 1996.

                                       14





Employees

         The Bank currently employs 151 people. Neither the Company nor GBB
currently has any employees.

ITEM 2.  Properties

         The Bank owns its Banking Operations Center, its Executive Offices, its
main banking facility in Glen Burnie, and four (4) branch offices in various
communities in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, all of which are unencumbered. The
Company owns no real estate at present. At December 31, 1996, GBB owned two
parcels of real estate obtained from foreclosures by the Bank. The book values
of these properties were $143,000. One was a residential property which can be
used for certain commercial purposes which GBB has contracted to sell for
$155,000 ($25,500 over its book value). The other consists of office
condominiums. GBB also intends to sell this property. At December 31, 1996, the
Bank owned three foreclosed real estate properties having a book value of
$329,785. They consist of residential property which the Bank is holding for
sale.

ITEM 3.  Legal Proceedings

         McCafferty's Restaurant ("McCafferty's") had commenced an adversary
proceeding (McCafferty's, Inc. v. Bank of Glen Burnie Adversary Case, Case No.
96-5137-ESD, U.S. Bankr. Ct., D. Md.) on March 20, 1996 in McCafferty's pending
Chapter 11 bankruptcy case (In re McCafferty's, Inc., Case No. 96-5-2444-SD,
U.S. Bankr. Ct., D. Md.). The United States District Court for the District of
Maryland has assumed jurisdiction (Bank of Glen Burnie v. McCafferty's, Inc.,
Civil Action No. MJG-96-3656, D-Md, 1996). McCafferty's alleges that the Bank,
acting in concert with Brian Davis (McCafferty's former treasurer and chief
financial officer who has pled guilty to fraud against the Bank and various
other banks), defrauded McCafferty's through alleged forgery of loan documents,
improper payment of checks, wrongful diversion of loan proceeds, illegal
overbilling and conspiracy to conceal illegal acts. McCafferty's seeks
$5,000,000 in compensatory damages, $10,000,000 in punitive damages and
declaratory and injunctive relief under numerous counts, including one count
pled under the Racketeer Influence and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO"). The
Bank denies any wrongdoing and any liability, and intends to continue contesting
the litigation vigorously. The Company does not believe that the outcome of this
litigation will have a material adverse affect on its business.

         The Bank is involved in various other legal actions relating to its
business activities. These actions involve claims for money damages which do not
exceed 10% of the Company's consolidated current assets in any one case. The
Company does

                                       15



not believe that any ultimate liability or risk of loss with respect to these
actions will materially affect its consolidated financial position.

ITEM 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

         No matter was submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders
during its fourth quarter of 1996.

Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

         The Company's common equity consists of one class of common stock, par
value $10.00 per share. The Company effectuated a six-for-five stock split in
the form of a 20% stock dividend paid on January 3, 1996. The Company's stock is
traded in the over-the-counter market and quoted in the pink sheets. The actual
range of high and low bid quotations for the common stock, which has been
adjusted to give retroactive effect to the stock split, for each full quarterly
period during 1995 and 1996, based on actual settlements reported by Legg Mason
Wood Walker, Inc., the only source of such information available to the Company,
are as follows:

         Since its inception, the Company has paid quarterly cash dividends on
its common stock. The second quarter 1997 dividend, however, was paid partly in
cash and partly in stock. Because the effect of this stock dividend was not
material, earnings per share have not been restated. The per share dividends
paid in cash during 1995 and 1996, giving retroactive effect to the stock split,
were as follows:


                                  Per Share Dividend

         Pursuant to its Strategic Plan, the Company intends to pay dividends
equal to forty percent (40%) of its profits for each quarter. However, dividends
remain subject to declaration by the board of directors in its sole discretion
and there can be no assurance that the Company will be legally or financially
able to make such payments. Payment of dividends may be limited by Federal and
state regulations which impose general restrictions on a bank's and bank holding
company's right to pay dividends (and to make loans or advances to affiliates
which could be used to pay dividends). See "Business -- Federal and State
Regulation."

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial
        Condition And Results Of Operations.

Results Of Operations

         The Company and its subsidiaries had a consolidated net loss of
$1,020,177 ($1.16 per share) for 1996 compared to their 1995 consolidated net
loss of $1,726,748 ($2.01 per share) and their 1994 consolidated net income of
$3,516,593 ($4.22 per share). The change is primarily due to a significant
increase in the provision for credit losses of $6,596,000 for 1996 and
$7,925,000 for 1995 compared to $1,120,000 for 1994. The increase resulted from
provisions being made to charge-off delinquent and non-performing loans. The
collectibility of certain loans, significant in aggregate amount, became
doubtful during 1996 and the Bank charged-off a significant amount of such
loans. See "Business --Recent Loan Loss Experience Involving Significant
Borrowers." Charge offs in 1996 amounted to $5,468,293 following the $7,060,650
charged off in 1995. In 1996 the Bank entered into the M.O.U. with the FDIC and
the Commissioner which addresses the

                                       18





factors relating to such losses.  See "Business -- Memoranda of Understanding."

         Net Interest Income. The consolidated net interest income prior to
making provision for credit losses decreased by $454,884 (4.0%) from $11,339,137
in 1995 to $10,884,253 in 1996. It had decreased by $528,822 (4.5%) in 1995 from
$11,867,959 in 1994. The 1996 decrease is primarily due to an increase in
interest expense on deposits and a decrease in total interest revenues from
lending activities for such period. The 1995 decrease is primarily due to an
increase in interest expense on deposits which exceeded a slight increase in
total interest revenues from lending activities for such period. The movement of
deposits from lower yielding savings and money market accounts to higher
yielding certificates of deposit resulted in an increase in the Bank's cost of
deposits during 1996 and 1995. In addition, loans on which accrual of interest
has been discontinued amounted to $4,545,581 at December 31, 1996. Interest that
would have accrued under the terms of these loans was $457,035. Interest income
on loans fell $1,394,512 (9.6%) from $14,475,876 at the end of 1995 to
$13,081,364 at the end of 1996, after increasing $390,234 (2.8%) during 1995
from $14,085,042 at the end of 1994. In addition to increased loan charge offs,
the Bank made fewer loans during 1996 than 1995.

         The following table allocates changes in income and expense
attributable to the Bank's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities for the periods indicated between changes due to changes in rate and
changes in volume. Changes due to rate/volume are allocated to changes due to
volume.

(1) Tax equivalent basis
(2) Non-accrual loans included

         Over the last two years the Bank has shifted investments from U.S.
Treasury securities to U.S. government agency and state and municipal securities
because they have offered higher yields. Interest from Federal funds sold almost
doubled during 1996, increasing from $138,678 in 1995 to $261,423 in 1996 as
Federal funds sold increased significantly. Significant gains in investment
securities ($506,695) occurred in 1995 as a result of a restructuring of the
Bank's investment securities portfolio. The gains were much smaller in 1996
after the restructuring was complete.

         Provision for Credit Losses. During 1996, the Company provided
$6,596,000 for credit losses compared to $7,925,000 in such provisions during
1995 and $1,120,000 in provisions during 1994. The higher provisions during the
past two fiscal years reflect the amount determined by the Company to be
necessary to maintain the allowance for credit losses to an adequate level

                                       21





after significant increases in loan charge-offs during 1996 and 1995. See
"Business -- Recent Loan Loss Experience Involving Significant Borrowers."

         Other Income. Other income for fiscal year 1996 was $2,230,457, an
increase of $326,174, or 17.1%, over fiscal year 1995 and an increase of
$715,626, or 47.2%, over fiscal year 1994. The improvement in other income
reflects increased service charges on deposit accounts attributable to growth in
deposits and $560,000 in proceeds from an insurance settlement with the Bank's
fidelity bond company relating to the reimbursement of legal fees expended by
the Bank in defending certain actions. These improvements in other income offset
a decline in gains on sales of securities following a restructuring of the
bank's securities portfolio.

         Other Expenses. Salary and employee benefit expenses increased $497,732
(12.0%) during 1996 rising from $4,137,232 in 1995 to $4,634,964 in 1996. They
rose only $149,014 (3.7%) during 1995 from $3,988,218 in 1994. During 1996 the
Bank staff was increased in the credit analysis and loan collection areas to
deal with the Bank's troubled loans. Increased other expenses of the Company and
its subsidiaries in 1996 primarily resulted from increased legal fees and other
continuing costs of litigation. See "Item 3 -- Legal Proceedings." The Bank has
obtained insurance reimbursement for approximately $560,000 of its 1995
restructuring and litigation charges.

Capital Resources And Liquidity

         Total deposits increased from $221,120,763 at the end of 1995 to
$232,745,975 at the end of 1996, an increase of $11,625,212 (5.3%). Total
deposits increased by $12,555,110 (6.0%) during 1995 from $208,565,653 at the
end of 1994. While deposits have increased over the past two years, the Bank
believes that a general downward trend in interest rates paid on deposit
accounts has resulted in a trend away from lower yielding deposit products
toward higher yielding long term deposits. NOW accounts totalled $22,792,376 at
year end 1996, an increase of $502,527 (2.3%) from the 1995 year end total of
$22,289,849, which was a $17,141 (0.1%) increase over the 1994 year end total of
$22,272,708. Money market accounts declined $1,391,386 (5.0%) during 1996
falling from $27,602,041 at the end of 1995 to $26,210,655 at the end of 1996.
They had declined $5,278,782 (16.1%) during 1995 from $32,880,823 at the end of
1994. Over the same period, savings deposits, after decreasing from $52,830,352
in 1994 to $46,752,665 in 1995, a decrease of $6,077,687 (11.5%), increased by
$1,440,302 (3.1%) to end 1996 at $48,192,967. Meanwhile, certificates of deposit
over $100,000 decreased from $9,844,841 at the end of 1995 to $8,620,096 at the
end of 1996, a decline of $1,224,745 (12.4%). The foregoing does not include IRA
accounts in excess of $100,000. During 1995 these balances had increased by
$2,040,197 (26.1%) from the 1994 year end balance of $7,804,644. Other time
deposits (made up of

                                       22





certificates of deposit less than $100,000 and individual retirement accounts)
increased by $8,032,607 (11.6%) in 1996 and by $17,788,337 (34.4%) in 1995,
rising from $51,696,007 at the end of 1994 to year end totals of $69,484,344 for
1995 and $77,516,951 for 1996.

         Cash and cash equivalents (cash due from banks, interest-bearing
deposits in other financial institutions, and Federal funds sold) as of December
31, 1996 was $22,677,661, an increase of $13,227,640 (140.0%) from the December
31, 1995 total of $9,450,021. Most of this increase was in Federal funds sold
which were at a $-0- balance at the end of 1995 and totalled $10,175,000 at the
end of 1996. The large balance in Federal funds sold at the end of 1996 was a
result of recent increases in non-personal money market demand accounts and
business checking accounts immediately before year end combined with a higher
average balance maintained during the year. The 1995 year end total was a slight
$156,295 (1.6%) decrease from the $9,606,316 1994 year end total. Short-term
borrowings decreased as cash and cash equivalents rose. Short-term borrowings
fell $468,846 (21.0%) during 1995 from $2,226,568 at the end of 1994 to
$1,757,722 at the end of 1995 and by another $1,209,785 (68.8%) during 1995 to
end 1996 at $547,937.

         The aggregate market value of investment securities held as of December
31, 1996 was $96,905,238 compared to $74,690,073 as of December 31, 1995, a
$22,215,165 (29.7%) increase. The market value of investment securities as of
December 31, 1995 had increased by $15,665,944 (26.5%) from their December 31,
1994 total. The reasons for the large increases in investment securities were
increases in deposits coupled with declines in loan demand and increased
amortization of loan balances. The loan types most affected by the increased
amortizations were construction and land development mortgages, lease financing
and installments.

         The Bank may draw on a $26,000,000 line of credit from The Federal Home
Loan Bank of Atlanta. Borrowings under the line are secured by a lien on the
Bank's residential mortgage loans. As of December 31, 1994 $1,500,000 was
outstanding under this line. No amounts were outstanding at the end of either
1996 or 1995.

         Net loans decreased by $25,799,354 (17.2%) from $150,471,768 in 1995 to
$124,672,414 in 1996. The 1995 net loans total decreased by $3,342,654 (2.2%)
from $153,814,422 in 1994. The variations are largely due to an increase in
construction and land development loans in 1994 followed by a reduction in such
loans in both 1995 and 1996. Commercial mortgage loans increased during 1995 and
again slightly in 1996. Residential mortgages increased in 1995 but fell in
1996, as did demand and time loans. Lease financing and installment loans
decreased in both 1995 and 1996. The Bank has decided to decrease its equipment
and automobile lease based lending because of the difficulties in monitoring the
financial condition of the clients of lease company borrowers.

                                       23





         The 1995 and 1996 losses significantly affected retained earnings. They
fell $4,007,822 (43.8%) during 1995 from $9,154,546 at year end 1994 to
$5,146,724 at year end 1995, and another $1,856,647 (36.1%) during 1996 to end
1996 at $3,290,077. Surplus steadily increased, however, rising $466,191 (8.6%)
during 1995 from $5,450,852 at the end of 1994 to $5,917,043 at the end of 1995,
and $275,857 (4.7%) during 1995 to end 1996 at $6,192,900.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

         The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented
herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, which require the measurement of financial position 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, nearly all of the Company's assets and liabilities are
monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the
Company's performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation.
Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same
extent as the prices of goods and services.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

         In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share." This Statement establishes standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share (EPS) and applies to entities with publicly held common stock
or potential common stock. This Statement simplifies the standards for computing
earnings per share previously found in APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share,"
and makes them comparable to international EPS standards. It replaces the
presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. It also requires
dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement
for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation
of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator
and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. This Statement is effective for
financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997,
including interim periods; earlier application is not permitted. This Statement
requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented. Management believes
that adoption of this pronouncement will not impact any previously reported
earnings per share information.

ITEM 8.  Financial Statements And Supplementary Data.

         The response to this Item is set forth at the end of this report.

ITEM 9.  Changes In And Disagreements With Accountants On
         Accounting And Financial Disclosure.

         On April 11, 1996 the Company's board of directors decided not to
reengage Rowles & Company to audit the Company's consolidated financial
statements for its 1996 fiscal year. Such accountants' report on the Company's
consolidated financial statements for each of its prior two fiscal years did not
contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. There were no
disagreements between the Company and Rowles & Company. On June 27, 1996, the
Company's board of directors decided to engage Trice & Geary LLC to perform such
function and Trice & Geary LLC was so engaged on August 16, 1996.

                                                                                Long Term Compensation

F. William Kuethe, Jr.      1996   $ 80,000       $   ---       $   ---           ---            ---        $ 35,183 2/
Chief Executive Officer     1995     65,538         7,500           250 1/        ---            250          16,904
                            1994        ---         1,500           ---           ---            ---          35,109



1/ Mr. Kuethe's "Other Annual Compensation" for 1995 consisted solely of the
differences between the exercise price of director stock options exercised by
him during the respective years and the fair market value of the shares at the
time of exercise as determined by information furnished by Legg Mason Wood
Walker.

2/ Mr. Kuethe's "Other Compensation" for 1996 consisted of $15,170 in paid
insurance premiums, $16,100 in directors' fees and $3,913 in appraisal fees.

         Under the Bank's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, employees of the Bank,
including its chief executive officer, may receive the right to purchase shares
of the Company's common stock, at a per share price equal to the greater of (a)
15% less than the market

                                       27





price for such shares on the date of grant or exercise (whichever is lower) or
(b) their book value as of the end of the Company's fiscal year preceding the
grant date. Options have been awarded on the basis of five shares for every
$1,000 of salary and bonus paid during the preceding year although the plan
leaves the amount of option awards at the discretion of the board as long as the
board applies uniform salary guidelines. 11,320 options were granted on July 1,
1995 and could be exercised at any time through September 30, 1996. At December
31, 1996, there were 31,780 shares reserved for issuance under the plan. The
plan was suspended in 1996, and no options have been granted thereunder since
the July 1995 grant.

         The Company maintains a Director Stock Purchase Plan pursuant to which
directors may purchase the Company's common stock at its fair market value on
the date an option is granted. At December 31, 1996, there were 17,700 shares of
common stock reserved for issuance under the plan. No options are currently
outstanding under the plan. The plan was suspended in 1996.

         The options issued to Mr. Kuethe referenced in the first note to the
Summary Compensation Table were issued under the Director Stock Option Plan. Mr.
Kuethe neither received nor exercised any options in 1996. (Neither the Company
nor the Bank grants any stock appreciation rights.)

         The Bank maintains a pension plan for substantially all employees
pursuant to which benefits are based on the employee's average rate of earnings
and years of service. Vesting occurs after six months of employment but benefits
are reduced for job termination within ten years of employment and for early
retirement. A participant's pension is based on the average amount of his annual
earnings for his five most highly paid consecutive years during the ten years
immediately preceding his retirement. His pension is determined by multiplying
2% of the "covered" portion of this amount and .65% of any additional portion by
the lesser of the number of his years of service or 20. The "covered" portion is
his social security taxable wage basis taken over a period of up to 35 years.
The following table shows the estimated annual benefits payable upon retirement
in specified compensation and years of service classifications based on the
assumption that the "covered" portion equals $65,400 (the current maximum salary
subject to social security tax) for all employees receiving more than such
amount and that the highest salary payable is $100,000 per annum. Currently, no
employee earns this much and the Bank does not anticipate that any employee will
in the foreseeable future.

         The total compensation covered by the pension plan for the year ended
December 31, 1996 was $2,965,047.19. 2.2% of the covered compensation represents
compensation paid to F. William Kuethe, Jr. who has two years of credited
service.

         Benefits under the pension plan are not subject to deduction for social
security payments or other offsets.

Director's Fees

         Each director receives a $700 fee for attending each meeting of the
board of directors of the Bank or of committees of the board of the Bank. During
1996, $137,900 were paid in directors' fees.

Compensation Committee

         A compensation committee of directors of the Bank approved by its board
sets director compensation. The Bank's board sets the compensation of the chief
executive officer. The chief executive officer sets the compensation of the
other executive officers. Executive officers are placed at certain grade levels
with the salary range of each grade level established by the compensation
committee, subject to board approval, based on comparable salaries paid by
similar financial institutions. Within such range, an individual's salary is
based on a performance review conducted by the board or president, as indicated
above. Bonuses are discretionary and largely based on the Bank's financial
performance.

         Management.

ITEM 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

         The executive officers and directors of the Bank, and their affiliates,
enter into loan transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business.
Loans to them are made on the same terms, including interest rates and
collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with unrelated
borrowers and the Bank does not believe that they involve more than the normal
risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. At December 31,
1996, 1995, and 1994, the outstanding amounts of such loans were $2,587,122,
$2,878,742, and $685,613, respectively. The election of new directors having
outstanding loans in 1995 is the main reason for the increase in 1995 and 1996.

                         Report of Independent Auditors




The Board of Directors
Glen Burnie Bancorp and Subsidiaries
Glen Burnie, Maryland


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Glen Burnie
Bancorp and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the
year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated
financial statements of Glen Burnie Bancorp and Subsidiaries as of December 31,
1995 and 1994 were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 8, 1996
expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the 1996 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Glen Burnie Bancorp and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for post-retirement health care benefits in
1995.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         The Bank provides financial services to individuals and corporate
         customers located in Anne Arundel County and surrounding areas of
         Central Maryland, and is subject to competition from other financial
         institutions. The Bank is also subject to the regulations of certain
         Federal and State agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those
         regulatory authorities. The accounting policies of the Bank conform to
         generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices
         within the banking industry.

         Significant accounting policies not disclosed elsewhere in the
         consolidated financial statements are as follows:

         Principles of Consolidation:

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Glen
         Burnie Bancorp (the Company) and its subsidiaries, The Bank of Glen
         Burnie (the Bank) and GBB Properties, Inc., a company engaged in the
         acquisition and disposition of other real estate. Intercompany balances
         and transactions have been eliminated. The Parent Only financial
         statements of the Company account for the subsidiaries using the equity
         method of accounting.

         Use of Estimates:

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
         dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
         and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

         Securities Held to Maturity:

         Bonds, notes and debentures for which the Bank has the positive intent
         and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for
         premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the
         straight-line method over the period to maturity. Securities
         transferred into held to maturity from the available for sale portfolio
         are recorded at fair value at time of transfer with unrealized gains or
         losses reflected in equity and amortized over the remaining life of the
         security.

         Securities Available for Sale:

         Marketable debt and equity securities not classified as held to
         maturity are classified as available for sale. Securities available for
         sale may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, loan demand,
         changes in prepayment risk and other factors. Securities available for
         sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses based
         on the difference between amortized cost and fair value reported as a
         separate component of stockholders' equity, net of deferred tax.
         Realized gains and losses, using the specific identification method,
         are included as a separate component of non-interest income. Premiums
         and discounts are recognized in interest income using the straight-line
         method over the period to maturity.

         Income on Loans:

         Interest income on loans is accrued at the contractual rate on the
         principal amount outstanding. It is the policy of the Bank to
         discontinue the accrual of interest when a loan becomes 90 days or more
         delinquent and circumstances indicate that collection is doubtful. Fees
         charged for the origination of loans are being amortized on the
         straight-line method over the term of the loan. Amortization of these
         fees is discontinued on loans placed on non-accrual status.

Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

         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.

         While management believes it has established the allowance for credit
         losses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
         has taken into account the views of its regulators and the current
         economic environment, there can be no assurance that in the future the
         Bank's regulators or its economic environment will not require further
         increases in the allowance.

         Other Real Estate Owned (OREO):

         OREO comprises properties acquired in partial or total satisfaction of
         problem loans. The properties are recorded at the lower of cost or fair
         value at the date acquired. Losses arising at the time of acquisition
         of such properties are charged against the allowance for credit losses.
         Subsequent write-downs that may be required and expenses of operation
         are included in non-interest expense. Gains and losses realized from
         the sale of OREO are included in non-interest income or expense.

         Depreciation:

         Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
         estimated useful lives of assets.

         Intangible Assets:

         Costs incurred in the organization of the Company are being amortized
         over five years. Computer software is recorded at cost, and amortized
         over three to five years. A deposit acquisition premium is recorded at
         cost, and is being amortized over 10 years on the straight-line method.

         Income Taxes:

         The provision for Federal and State income taxes is based upon the
         results of operations, adjusted for tax-exempt income. Deferred income
         taxes are provided by applying enacted statutory tax rates to temporary
         differences between financial and taxable income.

         Temporary differences which give rise to deferred tax assets relate
         principally to the allowance for credit losses, unearned income on
         loans, other real estate owned, accrued compensation and benefits, tax
         deduction carryovers, and alternative minimum tax credit carryovers.

         Temporary differences which give rise to deferred tax liabilities
         relate principally to accumulated depreciation, accretion of discount
         on investment securities, and prepaid pension expense.

Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

         Credit Risk:

         The Bank has deposits in other financial institutions in excess of
         amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents:

         The Bank has included cash and due from banks, interest-bearing
         deposits in other financial institutions, and Federal funds sold as
         cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of reporting cash flows. The
         Bank is required to carry noninterest-bearing cash reserves of
         specified percentages of deposit balances. The Bank's balances of cash
         and due from banks are sufficient to satisfy these requirements.

         Net Income Per Share:

         Net income per share of common stock has been computed on the
         weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, giving retroactive
         effect to stock dividends declared.

         Financial Statement Presentation:

         Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been
         reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

          The Bank makes loans to customers located primarily in Anne Arundel
          County and surrounding areas of Central Maryland. Although the loan
          portfolio is diversified, its performance will be influenced by the
          economy of the region.

          Executive officers, directors, and their affiliated interests enter
          into loan transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of
          business. These loans are made on the same terms, including interest
          rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
          loans with unrelated borrowers. At December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994,
          the amounts of such loans outstanding were $2,587,122, $2,878,742, and

  Note 3. Loans (continued)

         Loan commitments and lines of credit are agreements to lend to
         customers as long as there is no violation of any con ditions of the
         contracts. Loan commitments generally have interest rates fixed at
         current market amounts, fixed expiration dates, and may require payment
         of a fee. Lines of credit generally have variable interest rates.
         Letters of credit are commitments issued to guarantee the performance
         of a customer to a third party.

         The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
         the customer is the contractual amount of the commitment. Loan
         commitments, lines of credit and letters of credit are made on the same
         terms, including collateral, as outstanding loans. As of December 31,
         1996 and 1995, $139,382 and $108,000, respectively, has been provided
         as an allowance for credit losses related to these financial
         instruments with off-balance sheet risk.

  Note 8.  Pension and Profit Sharing Plans

         The Bank has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all
         of its employees. Benefits are based on the employee's average rate of
         earnings for the five consecutive years before retirement. The Bank's
         funding policy is to contribute annually an amount between the minimum
         and maximum actuarially determined contribution, using the frozen entry
         age actuarial cost method. Assets of the plan are held in a trust fund
         principally comprised of growth and income mutual funds managed by
         another bank.

         The following table sets forth the financial status of the plan at
         December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994:

         Assumptions used in the accounting for net post-retirement benefit
         expense were:

         Health care cost trend rate                                                  8.0%          8.0%

         If the assumed health care cost trend rate were increased to 9.0%, the
         total of the service and interest cost components of net periodic
         post-retirement health care benefit cost would increase by $36,816 and
         $28,808, for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
         and the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation would increase
         by $200,496 and $161,117 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
         respectively.

  Note 11. Litigation and Restructuring Charges

            In 1995, two opposing groups ran for election to the Board of
            Directors. The Company incurred legal expenses and entered into a
            severance agreement with a former executive officer in connection
            with this restructuring at costs totaling $687,841. The Company also
            incurred losses of $719,800 to settle the claim of a borrower who
            asserted damages for discrimination. These nonrecurring charges are
            included as a separate line item in operating expenses for 1995.


  Note 12. Contingencies

            The Bank is a defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising
            in the course of business. The Bank is being sued for a total of
            approximately $4,000,000 in five separate cases for allegedly
            honoring checks with invalid endorsements. The Bank is also being
            sued for alleged fraud by a customer in bankruptcy seeking
            $5,000,000 in compensatory damages and $50,000,000 in punitive
            damages. Legal counsel has advised the Bank that this plaintiff has
            failed to produce any evidence to support these claims. The Bank has
            also filed a claim with a former insurance provider seeking to
            recover in excess of $5,000,000 from loan losses sustained over the
            prior two years. In the opinion of management, after consultation
            with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not
            known at this time.

  Note 13.  Stockholders' Equity

            Employees who have completed one year of service are eligible to
            participate in the employee stock purchase plan. The plan allows
            employees to purchase stock at 85 percent of the fair market value.
            Options for 200 and 6,586 shares were exercised in 1996 and 1995,
            respectively, at prices from $24.08 to $26.92 per share. At December
            31, 1996, there were 31,780 shares of common stock reserved for
            issuance under the plan and no outstanding options.

            The director stock purchase plan allows directors to purchase stock
            at the fair market value on the date an option is granted. Options
            for 3,600 shares were exercised in 1995 at prices from $28.33 to
            $31.67 per share. At December 31, 1996, there were 17,700 shares of
            common stock reserved for issuance under the plan and no outstanding
            options.

            The dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan allows
            participating stockholders to invest their cash dividends in stock
            at 95 percent of the fair market value on the dividend payment date.
            During 1996 and 1995, 10,820 and 10,795 shares of common stock,
            respectively, were purchased under the plan. At December 31, 1996,
            there were 94,370 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under
            the plan.

            In October 1996, Glen Burnie Bancorp suspended participation in the
            dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plans until the Company
            completes additional filings with the Securities and Exchange
            Commission.

            The Board of Directors may suspend or discontinue any of the plans
            at its discretion.


  Note 14. Regulatory Capital Requirements

           The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
           administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet
           minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory--and
           possibly additional discretionary--actions by regulators that, if
           undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's
           financial statements. The Bank must meet specific capital guidelines
           that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities,
           and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory
           accounting principles. The Bank's capital amounts and classification
           are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
           components, risk weightings, and other factors.

           Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
           adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (as
           defined in the regulations) of total and Tier I capital to
           risk-weighted assets and of Tier I capital to average assets.
           Management believes, as of December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994,
           that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is
           subject.

           As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the FDIC
           categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory
           framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
           capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I
           risk-based, Tier I leverage ratios. There are no conditions or events
           since that notification that management believes have changed the
           institution's category.

  Note 15. Regulatory Matters

           In June, 1996 the Bank entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
           with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the State Bank
           Commissioner of the State of Maryland to accomplish corrective
           actions regarding matters including violations of law, loan
           collection and delinquencies, loan administration, methodology for
           allowance for credit loss calculations, management reporting,
           strategic planning, and maintenance of capital.

            For purposes of the disclosures of estimated fair value, the
            following assumptions were used.

            Loans:

            The estimated fair value for loans is determined by discounting
            future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would
            be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same
            remaining maturities.

            Investment securities:

            Estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices.

  Note 16.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments (continued)

            Deposits:

            The estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such
            as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW accounts and
            money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand at
            the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). The fair value
            of certificates of deposit is based on the rates currently offered
            for deposits of similar maturities. The fair value estimates do not
            include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided
            by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds
            in the market.

            Other assets and liabilities:

            The estimated fair values for cash and due from banks,
            interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, Federal
            funds sold, accrued interest receivable and payable, and short-term
            borrowings are considered to approximate cost because of their
            short-term nature.

            Other assets and liabilities of the Bank that are not defined as
            financial instruments are not included in the above disclosures,
            such as property and equipment. Also, non-financial instruments
            typically not recognized in the financial statements nevertheless
            may have value but are not included in the above disclosures. These
            include, among other items, the estimated earnings power of core
            deposit accounts, the trained work force, customer goodwill, and
            similar items.

            The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments for
            1995 and 1994 are as follows:

            The fair values of investment securities were estimated using a
            matrix that considers yield to maturity, credit quality, and
            marketability. This method of valuation is permitted by the FASB,
            but may not be indicative of net realizable or liquidation values.

            It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of loans with
            fixed maturities, deposit liabilities with fixed maturities, or
            outstanding credit commitments. The Company did not have available
            resources to estimate fair values based on quoted prices or
            discounted cash flows for individual accounts or groups of accounts.

  Note 17.  Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

            Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for
            the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
            Disposed of" (SFAS No. 121), requires that certain long-lived assets
            be reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate
            that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An
            impairment loss is recognized if the sum of expected future cash
            flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset and its face
            value. An impairment loss is measured based on the difference
            between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value. The
            Bank adopted this pronouncement in 1996, and there are no asset
            impairment adjustments reflected in the 1996 consolidated financial
            statements.

            Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122, "Accounting for
            Mortgage Servicing Rights" (SFAS No. 122), requires that rights to
            serviced mortgage loans be recognized as an intangible asset when
            the underlying loans are sold and the servicing rights related to
            these loans are retained. The standard also requires that
            capitalized mortgage servicing rights be assessed for impairment
            based on the fair value of such rights. The Bank has not sold any
            loans for which it has maintained servicing rights and, accordingly,
            the adoption of this pronouncement has no effect on the 1996
            consolidated financial statements.
