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. It presently owns all the
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,
serving Anne Arundel County and surrounding areas from its main office in Glen
Burnie, Maryland and branch offices in Odenton, Riviera Beach, Crownsville,
Severn and Ferndale, Maryland. 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").
The Company's principal executive office is located at 101 Crain
Highway, S.E., Glen Burnie, Maryland 21061. Its telephone number at such office
is (410) 766-3300.
Market Area
The Bank considers its principal market area for lending and deposit
products to consist of Northern Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Northern Anne
Arundel County is a mature suburb of the City of Baltimore which in recent years
has experienced modest population growth and is characterized by an aging
population. Management believes that the majority of the working population in
its market area either commutes to Baltimore or is employed at the nearby
Baltimore Washington International airport. Anne Arundel County is generally
considered to have more affordable housing than other suburban Baltimore areas
and has begun to attract younger persons and minorities on this basis. This
inflow, however, has not been sufficient to affect current population trends.
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
including indirect automobile 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 portfolio consists of loans purchased from third party originators.
After several years of portfolio run-off, the Company's loan portfolio
increased by $14.0 million, or 12.5%, as the result of the introduction of an
indirect automobile lending program in 1998. The Bank's loan portfolio had
decreased in size in prior years primarily due to declines in the size of
construction loan portfolio and in its installment and commercial loan
portfolios. The declines in the construction portfolio reflected the significant
increase in such lending in fiscal year 1994 which was not sustained in
subsequent years. The run-off in the commercial portfolio reflected the Bank's
decision 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 installment and commercial loan
portfolios also reflected in part the substantial charge-offs which the Bank
took during fiscal years 1996 and 1995.

portfolio at the indicated dates.

the loan portfolio at December 31, 1998. Demand loans and loans which have no
stated maturity are treated as due in one year or less. At December 31, 1998,
the Bank had $3,653,001 in loans due after one year with variable rates and
$109,565,074 in such loans with fixed rates. The Bank's long-term real estate
loans allow the Bank to call the loan after three years in order to adjust the
interest rate if necessary. The Bank has generally not exercised its call option
and the following table assumes no exercise of the Bank's call option.

Real Estate Lending. The Bank offers long-term mortgage financing for
residential and commercial real estate as well as shorter term construction and
land development loans. Residential mortgage and residential construction loans
are originated with fixed rates while commercial mortgages may be originated on
either a fixed or variable rate basis. Commercial construction loans are
generally originated on a variable rate basis. The Bank's long-term, fixed-rate
mortgages include a provision allowing the Bank to call the loan after three
years in order to adjust the interest rate. The Bank, however, has never
exercised this right. Substantially all of the Bank's real estate loans are
secured by properties in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Under the Bank's loan
policies, the maximum permissible loan-to-value ratio for owner-occupied
residential mortgages is 80% of the lesser of the purchase price or appraised
value. For residential investment properties, the maximum loan-to-value ratio is
75%. The maximum permissible loan-to-value ratio for residential and commercial
construction loans is 80%. The maximum loan-to-value ratio for permanent
commercial mortgages is 75%. The maximum loan-to-value ratio for land
development loans is 70% and for unimproved land is 65%. The Bank also offers
home equity loans secured by the borrower's primary residence provided that the
aggregate indebtedness on the property does not exceed 80% of its value.
Commercial Lending. The Bank's commercial loan portfolio consists
principally of demand and time loans for commercial purposes and purchased lease
financings. The Bank's business demand and time lending includes various working
capital loans, lines of credit and letters of credit for commercial customers.
Demand loans require the payment of interest until called while time loans
require a single payment of principal and interest at maturity. Such loans may
be made on a secured or an unsecured basis. All such loans are underwritten on
the basis of the borrower's creditworthiness rather than the value of the
collateral. The Bank's lease financing portfolio includes leases on various
types of commercial equipment that have been purchased from various vendors. The
Bank has determined to de-emphasize lease financing because of the difficulties
encountered in monitoring the financial condition of borrowers on purchased
leases.
Installment Lending. The Bank makes consumer and commercial installment
loans for the purchase of automobiles, boats, other consumer durable goods,
capital goods and equipment. Such loans provide for repayment in regular
installments and are secured by the goods financed. Also included in installment
loans are overdraft loans and other credit repayable in installments. As of
December 31, 1998, approximately 20% of the installment loans in the Bank's
portfolio had been originated for commercial purposes and 80% had been
originated for consumer purposes.
Included in installment loans are approximately $24.6 million in
automobile loans, net of dealer reserves. These loans were originated through
the Bank's indirect automobile lending program which was introduced in January
1998. The Bank's indirect automobile loans are originated through selected local
automobile dealers who receive a fee for each loan made to their customers. The
dealer typically takes a credit application from their customer which is
transmitted to the Bank for evaluation. If the loan is approved, the Bank will
hold back a portion of the loan proceeds in a dealer reserve account which
serves as a reserve for losses.
Credit Card and Related Loans. Credit card and related loans consist of
outstanding balances on credit cards and overdraft lines of credit. The Bank
offers no annual fee VISA(R) and MasterCard(R) credit cards to qualified
customers. Credit card billing and payment processing is done for the Bank by an
unaffiliated third party which receives a fee for such services. The Bank's
overdraft protection line of credit is offered as a convenience to qualified
customers.
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.
4
The Bank's lending activities are conducted pursuant to written
policies approved by the Board of Directors intended to ensure proper management
of credit risk. Loans are subject to a well defined credit process that includes
credit evaluation of borrowers, establishment of lending limits and application
of lending procedures, including the holding of adequate collateral and the
maintenance of compensating balances, as well as procedures for on-going
identification and management of credit deterioration. Regular portfolio reviews
are performed by the Senior Credit Officer to identify potential underperforming
credits, estimate loss exposure and to ascertain compliance with the Bank's
policies. On a quarterly basis, the internal auditor performs an independent
loan review. For significant problem loans, management review consists of
evaluation of the financial strengths of the borrower and the guarantor, the
related collateral, and the effects of economic conditions.
The Bank's loan approval policy provides for various levels of
individual lending authority. The maximum lending authority granted by the Bank
to any one individual is $500,000. A combination of approvals from certain
officers may be used to lend up to an aggregate of $1,000,000. The Bank's
Executive Committee is authorized to approve loans up to $1.0 million. Larger
loans must be approved by the full Board of Directors.
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 have been permitted to lend up
to $1.66 million to any one borrower at December 31, 1998. 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 a 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 $1.91 million to any one borrower at December 31, 1998. It is
currently the Bank's policy to limit its exposure to any one borrower to no more
than $1.85 million in the aggregate unless the loan is approved by a 75% vote of
the Board of Directors with respect to new borrowings. At December 31, 1998, the
largest amount outstanding to any one borrower and their related interests was
$2,554,450 which was within the Bank's lending limit at the time when made.
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 1997 fiscal
year, the Bank's policy was to consider real estate loans on a case-by-case
basis subject to collateral. For the year ended December 31, 1998, interest of
approximately $269,112, would have been accrued on non-accrual loans if such
loans had been current in accordance with their original terms. During such
period there was no interest on such loans included in income.

loans, non-accrual loans and accruing loans 90 days or more past due at the

During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Bank would have recorded
$18,021 in interest on restructured loans if such loans were performing in
accordance with their original terms. During 1998, the Bank recognized $16,765
in interest income on restructured loans.
Approximately $1,538,163, or 89.18%, of the Bank's non-accrual loans at
December 31, 1998 were attributable to ten borrowers. Charge-offs of $620,894
have previously been taken on these loans. Seven of these borrowers with loans
totaling $1,138,899 were in bankruptcy at that date. Because of the legal
protections afforded to borrowers in bankruptcy, collections on such loans are
difficult and the Bank anticipates that such loans may remain delinquent for an
extended period of time. Each of these loans is secured by collateral with a
value well in excess of the principal amount of the Bank's loan.
At December 31, 1998, there were no 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. 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.
At December 31, 1998, the Company had $1,099,326 in real estate
acquired in partial or total satisfaction of debt compared to $748,231 and
$602,000 in such properties at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. All
such properties are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value at the date
acquired and carried on the balance sheet as other
6
real estate owned. Losses arising at the date of acquisition are charged against
the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent write-downs that may be required and
expense of operation are included in non-interest expense. Gains and losses
realized from the sale of other real estate owned are included in non-interest
income or expense. For a description of the properties comprising other real
estate owned at December 31, 1998, see "Item 2. -- Properties."
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 borrower's ability to pay.
Transactions in the allowance for credit losses during the last five
fiscal years were as follows:

The Bank's high level of loan charge-offs during fiscal years 1996 and
1995 was primarily attributable to its lending relationships with Mr. Brian
Davis and various affiliated entities. 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.

Investment Securities
The Bank maintains a substantial portfolio of investment securities to
provide liquidity as well as a source of earnings. The Bank's investment
securities portfolio consists primarily of U.S. Treasury securities as well as
securities issued by U.S. Government agencies including mortgage-backed
securities. The Bank formerly maintained a substantial portfolio in obligations
of certain states and their political subdivisions. This portfolio has been
eliminated because the Company was no longer able to use the full tax advantages
of this portfolio.

At December 31, 1998, the Bank had no investments in securities of a
single issuer (other than the U.S. Government securities and securities of
federal agencies and government-sponsored enterprises) which aggregated more
than 10% of stockholders' equity.
Deposits and Sources of Funds
The funds needed by the Bank to make loans are generated by deposit
accounts solicited from the communities surrounding its main office and six
branches in northern Anne Arundel County. Consolidated total deposits were
$199,611,115 as of December 31, 1998. In addition, the Bank may borrow up to $26
million under a line of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.
The Bank's deposit products include regular savings accounts
(statements), money market deposit accounts, demand deposit accounts, NOW
checking accounts, IRA accounts and certificates of deposit accounts. Variations
in service charges, terms and interest rates are used to target specific
markets. Ancillary products and services for deposit customers include safe
deposit boxes, money orders and travelers checks, night depositories, automated
clearinghouse transactions, wire transfers, automated teller machines, telephone
banking, and a customer call center.
The Bank obtains deposits principally through its network of seven
offices. The Bank does not solicit brokered deposits. At December 31, 1998, the
Bank had approximately $10.6 million in certificates of deposit and other time
deposits of $100,000 or more including IRA accounts. The following table

Competition
The Bank faces competition from other community banks and financial
institutions and larger intra- and interstate banks and financial institutions
which compete vigorously (currently, twelve financial institutions operate
within two miles of the Bank's headquarters). Former directors of the Bank,
including its former Chief Executive Officer, have established a new bank with a
main office in Glen Burnie close to the Bank's headquarters. The Bank
anticipates that this new 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.
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.
Employees
At December 31, 1998, the Bank had 125 full-time equivalent employees.
Neither the Company nor GBB currently has any employees.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
Regulation of the Company
General. The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of
the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the "BHCA"). As such, the Company is
registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the
"Federal Reserve Board") and subject to Federal Reserve Board regulation,
examination, supervision and reporting requirements. As a bank holding company,
the Company is required to furnish to the Federal Reserve Board annual and
quarterly reports of its operations at the end of each period and to furnish
such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require pursuant to
the BHCA. The Company is also subject to regular inspection by Federal Reserve
Board examiners.
Under the BHCA, a bank holding company must obtain the prior approval
of the Federal Reserve Board before: (1) acquiring direct or indirect ownership
or control of any voting shares of any bank or bank holding company if, after
such acquisition, the bank holding company would directly or indirectly own or
control more than 5% of such shares; (2) acquiring all or substantially all of
the assets of another bank or bank holding company; or (3) merging or
consolidating with another bank holding company.
Effective September 29, 1995, the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and
Branching Efficiency of 1994 (the "Riegle-Neal Act") authorized the Federal
Reserve Board to approve an application of an adequately capitalized and
adequately managed bank holding company to acquire control of, or acquire all or
substantially all of the assets of, a bank located in a state other than such
holding company's home state, without regard to whether the transaction is
prohibited by the laws of any state. The Federal Reserve Board may not approve
the acquisition of a bank that has not
10
been in existence for the minimum time period (not exceeding five years)
specified by the statutory law of the host state. The Reigle-Neal Act also
prohibits the Federal Reserve Board from approving such an application if the
applicant (and its depository institution affiliates) controls or would control
more than 10% of the insured deposits in the United States or 30% or more of the
deposits in the target bank's home state or in any state in which the target
bank maintains a branch. The Reigle-Neal Act does not affect the authority of
states to limit the percentage of total insured deposits in the state which may
be held or controlled by a bank or bank holding company to the extent such
limitation does not discriminate against out-of-state banks or bank holding
companies. Individual states may also waive the 30% state-wide concentration
limit contained in the Reigle-Neal Act. Under Maryland law, a bank holding
company is prohibited from acquiring control of any bank if the bank holding
company would control more than 30% of the total deposits of all depository
institutions in the State of Maryland unless waived by the Commissioner.
Additionally, beginning on June 1, 1997, the federal banking agencies
are authorized to approve interstate merger transactions without regard to
whether such transaction is prohibited by the law of any state, unless the home
state of one of the banks opted out of the Reigle-Neal Act by adopting a law
after the date of enactment of the Reigle-Neal Act and prior to June 1, 1997
which applies equally to all out-of-state banks and expressly prohibits merger
transactions involving out-of-state banks. The State of Maryland did not pass
such a law during this period. Interstate acquisitions of branches will be
permitted only if the law of the state in which the branch is located permits
such acquisitions. Interstate mergers and branch acquisitions will also be
subject to the nationwide and statewide insured deposit concentration amounts
described above.
The BHCA also prohibits, with certain exceptions, a bank holding
company from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5%
of the voting shares of a company that is not a bank or a bank holding company,
or from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of
banking, managing or controlling banks, or providing services for its
subsidiaries. The principal exceptions to these prohibitions involve certain
non-bank activities which, by statute or by Federal Reserve Board regulation or
order, have been identified as activities closely related to the business of
banking or managing or controlling banks. The activities of the Company are
subject to these legal and regulatory limitations under the BHCA and the Federal
Reserve Board's regulations thereunder. Notwithstanding the Federal Reserve
Board's prior approval of specific nonbanking activities, the Federal Reserve
Board has the power to order a holding company or its subsidiaries to terminate
any activity, or to terminate its ownership or control of any subsidiary, when
it has reasonable cause to believe that the continuation of such activity or
such ownership or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety,
soundness or stability of any bank subsidiary of that holding company.
The Maryland Financial Institutions Code prohibits a bank holding
company from acquiring more than 5% of any class of voting stock of a bank or
bank holding company without the approval of the Commissioner except as
otherwise expressly permitted by federal law or in certain other limited
situations. The Maryland Financial Institutions Code additionally prohibits any
person from acquiring voting stock in a bank or bank holding company without 60
days' prior notice to the Commissioner if such acquisition will give the person
control of 25% or more of the voting stock of the bank or bank holding company
or will affect the power to direct or to cause the direction of the policy or
management of the bank or bank holding company. Any doubt whether the stock
acquisition will affect the power to direct or cause the direction of policy or
management shall be resolved in favor of reporting to the Commissioner. The
Commissioner may deny approval of the acquisition if the Commissioner determines
it to be anti-competitive or to threaten the safety or soundness of a banking
institution. Voting stock acquired in violation of this statute may not be voted
for five years.
Capital Adequacy. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted guidelines
regarding the capital adequacy of bank holding companies, which require bank
holding companies to maintain specified minimum ratios of capital to total
assets and capital to risk-weighted assets. See "Regulation of the Bank --
Capital Adequacy."
Dividends and Distributions. 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
11
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.
Bank holding companies are required to give the Federal Reserve Board
notice of any purchase or redemption of their outstanding equity securities if
the gross consideration for the purchase or redemption, when combined with the
net consideration paid for all such purchases or redemptions during the
preceding 12 months, is equal to 10% or more of the bank holding company's
consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve Board may disapprove such a purchase
or redemption if it determines that the proposal would violate any law,
regulation, Federal Reserve Board order, directive, or any condition imposed by,
or written agreement with, the Federal Reserve Board. Bank holding companies
whose capital ratios exceed the thresholds for "well capitalized" banks on a
consolidated basis are exempt from the foregoing requirement if they were rated
composite 1 or 2 in their most recent inspection and are not the subject of any
unresolved supervisory issues.
Regulation of the Bank
General. As a state-chartered bank with deposits insured by the FDIC
but which is not a member of the Federal Reserve System (a "state non-member
bank"), the Bank is subject to the supervision of the Commissioner and the FDIC.
The Commissioner and FDIC regularly examine the operations of the Bank,
including but not limited to capital adequacy, reserves, loans, investments and
management practices. These examinations are for the protection of the Bank's
depositors and not its stockholders. In addition, the Bank is required to
furnish quarterly and annual call reports to the Commissioner and FDIC. The
FDIC's enforcement authority includes the power to remove officers and directors
and the authority to issue cease-and-desist orders to prevent a bank from
engaging in unsafe or unsound practices or violating laws or regulations
governing its business.
The Bank's deposits are insured by the FDIC to the legal maximum of
$100,000 for each insured depositor. Some of the aspects of the lending and
deposit business of the Bank that are subject to regulation by the Federal
Reserve Board and the FDIC include reserve requirements and disclosure
requirements in connection with personal and mortgage loans and savings deposit
accounts. In addition, the Bank is subject to numerous federal and state laws
and regulations which set forth specific restrictions and procedural
requirements with respect to the establishment of branches, investments,
interest rates on loans, credit practices, the disclosure of credit terms and
discrimination in credit transactions.
Capital Adequacy. 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.
The regulations of the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC require bank
holding companies and state non-member banks, respectively, to maintain a
minimum leverage ratio of "Tier 1 capital" (as defined in the risk-based capital
guidelines discussed in the following paragraphs) to total assets of 3.0%.
Although setting a minimum 3.0% leverage ratio, the capital regulations state
that only the strongest bank holding companies and banks, with composite
examination ratings of 1 under the rating system used by the federal bank
regulators, would be permitted to operate at or near such minimum level of
capital. All other bank holding companies and banks are expected to maintain a
leverage ratio of at least 1% to 2% above the minimum ratio, depending on the
assessment of an individual organization's capital adequacy by its primary
regulator. Any bank or bank holding company experiencing or anticipating
significant growth would be expected to maintain capital well above the minimum
levels. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has indicated that whenever
appropriate, and in particular when a bank holding company is undertaking
expansion, seeking to engage in new activities or otherwise facing unusual or
abnormal risks, it will consider, on a case-by-case basis, the level of an
organization's ratio of tangible Tier 1 capital (after deducting all
intangibles) to total assets in making an overall assessment of capital.
12
The risk-based capital rules of the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC
require bank holding companies and state non-member banks, respectively, to
maintain minimum regulatory capital levels based upon a weighting of their
assets and off-balance sheet obligations according to risk. Risk-based capital
is composed of two elements: Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. Tier 1 capital
consists primarily of common stockholders' equity, certain perpetual preferred
stock (which must be noncumulative with respect to banks), and minority
interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries; less all
intangible assets, except for certain purchased mortgage servicing rights and
credit card relationships. Tier 2 capital elements include, subject to certain
limitations, the allowance for losses on loans and leases; perpetual preferred
stock that does not qualify as Tier 1 capital and long-term preferred stock with
an original maturity of at least 20 years from issuance; hybrid capital
instruments, including perpetual debt and mandatory convertible securities; and
subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock.
The risk-based capital regulations assign balance sheet assets and
credit equivalent amounts of off-balance sheet obligations to one of four broad
risk categories based principally on the degree of credit risk associated with
the obligor. The assets and off-balance sheet items in the four risk categories
are weighted at 0%, 20%, 50% and 100%. These computations result in the total
risk-weighted assets. The risk-based capital regulations require all banks and
bank holding companies to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital (Tier 1
capital plus Tier 2 capital) to total risk-weighted assets of 8%, with at least
4% as Tier 1 capital. For the purpose of calculating these ratios: (i) Tier 2
capital is limited to no more than 100% of Tier 1 capital; and (ii) the
aggregate amount of certain types of Tier 2 capital is limited. In addition, the
risk-based capital regulations limit the allowance for loan losses includable as
capital to 1.25% of total risk-weighted assets.
FDIC regulations and guidelines additionally specify that state
non-member banks with significant exposure to declines in the economic value of
their capital due to changes in interest rates may be required to maintain
higher risk-based capital ratios. The federal banking agencies, including the
FDIC, have proposed a system for measuring and assessing the exposure of a
bank's net economic value to changes in interest rates. The federal banking
agencies, including the FDIC, have stated their intention to propose a rule
establishing an explicit capital charge for interest rate risk based upon the
level of a bank's measured interest rate risk exposure after more experience has
been gained with the proposed measurement process. Federal Reserve Board
regulations do not specifically take into account interest rate risk in
measuring the capital adequacy of bank holding companies.
The FDIC has issued regulations which classify state non-member banks
by capital levels and which authorize the FDIC to take various prompt corrective
actions to resolve the problems of any bank that fails to satisfy the capital
standards. Under such regulations, a well-capitalized bank is one that is not
subject to any regulatory order or directive to meet any specific capital level
and that has or exceeds the following capital levels: a total risk-based capital
ratio of 10%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6%, and a leverage ratio of
5%. An adequately capitalized bank is one that does not qualify as
well-capitalized but meets or exceeds the following capital requirements: a
total risk-based capital ratio of 8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4%,
and a leverage ratio of either (i) 4% or (ii) 3% if the bank has the highest
composite examination rating. A bank not meeting these criteria is treated as
undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, or critically undercapitalized
depending on the extent to which the bank's capital levels are below these
standards. A state non-member bank that falls within any of the three
undercapitalized categories established by the prompt corrective action
regulation will be subject to severe regulatory sanctions. As of December 31,
1998, the Bank was well-capitalized as defined by the FDIC's regulations.
Branching. Maryland law provides that, with the approval of the
Commissioner, Maryland banks may establish branches within the State of Maryland
without geographic restriction and may establish branches in other states by any
means permitted by the laws of such state or by federal law. The Reigle-Neal Act
authorizes the FDIC to approve interstate branching de novo by state banks, only
in states which specifically allow for such branching. The Reigle-Neal Act also
requires the appropriate federal banking agencies to prescribe regulations by
June 1, 1997 which prohibit any out-of-state bank from using the interstate
branching authority primarily for the purpose of deposit production. These
regulations must include guidelines to ensure that interstate branches operated
by an out-of-state bank in a host state are reasonably helping to meet the
credit needs of the communities which they serve.
13
Dividend Limitations. Pursuant to the Maryland Financial Institutions
Code, Maryland banks may only pay dividends from undivided profits or, with the
prior approval of the Commissioner, their surplus in excess of 100% of required
capital stock. The Maryland Financial Institutions Code further restricts the
payment of dividends by prohibiting a Maryland bank from declaring a dividend on
its shares of common stock until its surplus fund equals the amount of required
capital stock or, if the surplus fund does not equal the amount of capital
stock, in an amount in excess of 90% of net earnings. In addition, the Bank is
prohibited by federal statute from paying dividends or making any other capital
distribution that would cause the Bank to fail to meet its regulatory capital
requirements. Further, the FDIC also has authority to prohibit the payment of
dividends by a state non-member bank when it determines such payment to be an
unsafe and unsound banking practice.
Deposit Insurance. The Bank is required to pay semi-annual assessments
based on a percentage of its insured deposits to the FDIC for insurance of its
deposits by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"). Under the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act, the FDIC is required to set semi-annual assessments for BIF-insured
institutions to maintain the designated reserve ratio of the BIF at 1.25% of
estimated insured deposits or at a higher percentage of estimated insured
deposits that the FDIC determines to be justified for that year by circumstances
raising a significant risk of substantial future losses to the BIF.
Under the risk-based deposit insurance assessment system adopted by the
FDIC, the assessment rate for an insured depository institution depends on the
assessment risk classification assigned to the institution by the FDIC, which is
determined by the institution's capital level and supervisory evaluations. Based
on the data reported to regulators for the date closest to the last day of the
seventh month preceding the semi-annual assessment period, institutions are
assigned to one of three capital groups -- "well capitalized, adequately
capitalized or undercapitalized." Within each capital group, institutions are
assigned to one of three subgroups on the basis of supervisory evaluations by
the institution's primary supervisory authority and such other information as
the FDIC determines to be relevant to the institution's financial condition and
the risk posed to the deposit insurance fund. Under the current assessment
schedule, well-capitalized banks with the best supervisory ratings are not
required to pay any premium for deposit insurance. All BIF-insured banks,
however are required to pay an assessment to the FDIC in an amount equal to 1.3
basis points times their assessable deposits to help fund interest payments on
certain bonds issued by the Financing Corporation, an agency established by the
federal government to finance takeovers of insolvent thrifts.
Transactions with Affiliates. A state non-member bank or its
subsidiaries may not engage in "covered transactions" with any one affiliate in
an amount greater than 10% of such bank's capital stock and surplus, and for all
such transactions with all affiliates a state non-member bank is limited to an
amount equal to 20% of capital stock and surplus. All such transactions must
also be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable, to the bank
or subsidiary as those provided to a non-affiliate. The term "covered
transaction" includes the making of loans, purchase of assets, issuance of a
guarantee and similar other types of transactions. An affiliate of a state
non-member bank is any company or entity which controls, is controlled by or is
under common control with the state non-member bank. In a holding company
context, the parent holding company of a state nonmember bank (such as the
Company) and any companies which are controlled by such parent holding company
are affiliates of the state nonmember bank. The BHCA further prohibits a
depository institution from extending credit to or offering any other services,
or fixing or varying the consideration for such extension of credit or service,
on the condition that the customer obtain some additional service from the
institution or certain of its affiliates or not obtain services of a competitor
of the institution, subject to certain limited exceptions.
Loans to Directors, Executive Officers and Principal Stockholders.
Loans to directors, executive officers and principal stockholders of a state
non-member bank must be made on substantially the same terms as those prevailing
for comparable transactions with persons who are not executive officers,
directors, principal stockholders or employees of the Bank unless the loan is
made pursuant to a compensation or benefit plan that is widely available to
employees and does not favor insiders. Loans to any executive officer, director
and principal stockholder together with all other outstanding loans to such
person and affiliated interests generally may not exceed 15% of the bank's
unimpaired capital and surplus and all loans to such persons may not exceed the
institution's unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. Loans to directors,
executive officers and principal stockholders, and their respective affiliates,
in excess of the greater
14
of $25,000 or 5% of capital and surplus (up to $500,000) must be approved in
advance by a majority of the board of directors of the bank with any
"interested" director not participating in the voting. State non-member banks
are prohibited from paying the overdrafts of any of their executive officers or
directors. In addition, loans to executive officers may not be made on terms
more favorable than those afforded other borrowers and are restricted as to
type, amount and terms of credit.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
On March 20, 1996, McCafferty's Restaurant ("McCafferty's") commenced
an adversary proceeding (McCafferty's, Inc. v. Bank of Glen Burnie Adversary
Case, Case No. 96-5137-ESD, U.S. Bank. Ct., D. Md.) in McCafferty's pending
Chapter 11 bankruptcy case (In re McCafferty's, Inc., Case No. 96-5-2444-SD,
U.S. Bank. Ct., D. Md.) and the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland assumed jurisdiction (Bank of Glen Burnie v. McCafferty's, Inc., Civil
Action No. MJG-96-3656, D-Md. 1996). McCafferty's alleged 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 sought $5,000,000 in
compensatory damages, $50,000,000 in punitive damages and declaratory and
injunctive relief under numerous counts, including one count pled under the
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO"). On December 4,
1997, the U.S. District Court dismissed McCafferty's claims under RICO but
denied the Bank's motion to dismiss McCafferty's other claims which have been
reduced to $1,700,000 in total. On November 17, 1998, the Bankruptcy Court
approved a settlement in which all claims were settled for the payment of
$450,000 by the Bank.
In addition to the foregoing litigation, the Bank was a defendant in
three suits filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County by creditors of a
company controlled by Mr. Davis alleging in each case that the Bank improperly
negotiated checks for loan proceeds over forged endorsements. The aggregate
damages sought in First National Bank of Maryland v. The Bank of Glen Burnie
(Case No. 03-C-96-001925 filed February 28, 1996), Elkridge National Bank v. The
Bank of Glen Burnie (Case No.03-C-96-002064 filed March 4, 1996) and Commercial
and Farmers Bank v. The Bank of Glen Burnie (Case No. 03-C-96-002941 filed March
25, 1996) totaled approximately $1,700,000. In Elkridge National Bank, a
judgment in the amount of $284,000 was rendered in favor of plaintiffs and
upheld on appeal. On July 2, 1998, the Company settled Commercial and Farmers
Bank for $575,000. The Bank has filed a counter-claim in the First National Bank
of Maryland suit seeking damages in excess of the amounts sought by the
plaintiff. Accordingly, the Bank does not believe that the outcome of this suit
will have a material adverse effect on the Bank.
The Bank was also a defendant in Beal GMC v. The Bank of Glen Burnie
(Case No. C96-32383OC filed October 2, 1996 in Anne Arundel County Circuit
Court) in which it was alleged that employees of the Bank falsely represented to
a third party that checks drawn on Mr. Davis's account and payable to plaintiff
had cleared the Bank. Plaintiff sought compensatory damages of $500,000 and
punitive damages of $5.0 million. On September 4, 1998, this suit was dismissed
pursuant to a settlement agreement which did not require any payments by the
Bank.
A stockholder derivative suit was filed on March 6, 1998 against the
Company, the Bank and each individual director in the Circuit Court for
Baltimore County under the caption Williams v. Glen Burnie Bancorp, Civil Action
No. C-98-2004. The suit alleged various breaches of fiduciary duty and sought
total damages of $2,500,000 from each director plus unspecified punitive
damages, the appointment of a receiver for the Bank and an order declaring the
Company's Stockholders' Rights Plan invalid. On December 8, 1998, this suit was
dismissed with prejudice by stipulation of the parties.
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 or in
any group of proceedings presenting in large degree the same legal and factual
issues. The Company does not believe that any ultimate liability or risk of loss
with respect to these actions will materially affect its consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters
The Company's stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and quoted
on the OTC Bulletin Board(R) under the symbol "GLBZ." There is not currently an
active trading market for the Common Stock. As of December 31, 1998, the number
of record holders of the Common Stock was 500. The following table sets forth
the high and low sales prices for the Common Stock for each full quarterly
period during 1998 and 1997, based on trades reported on the OTC Bulletin
Board(R) or by Legg Mason Wood Walker, Inc., the principal market maker for the
Company's stock. Also shown are dividends declared per share for these periods.
Prices have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to a six-for-five stock
split effected through a stock dividend paid on January 10, 1998.

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 (or to make loans or advances to affiliates which could be used to pay
dividends). Generally, dividend payments are prohibited unless a bank or bank
holding company has sufficient net (or retained) earnings and capital as
determined by its regulators. See "Item 1. Business -- Supervision and
Regulation -- Regulation of the Company -- Dividends and Distributions" and
"Item 1. Business -- Supervision and Regulation -- Regulation of the Bank --
Dividend Limitations." The Company does not believe that those restrictions will
materially limit its ability to pay dividends.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data
The following table presents consolidated selected financial data for
the Company and its subsidiaries for each of the periods indicated. Dividends

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview
The year 1998 saw the continuation of a favorable trend as asset
quality continued to improve. Nonperforming loans declined to 1.36% of the loan
portfolio at December 31, 1998 from 2.99% at December 31, 1997 and 3.55% at
December 31, 1996. Net charge-offs declined to 0.67% of average loans for the
year compared to 1.00% for 1997 and 3.56% for 1996. The improvements in asset
quality were achieved primarily through the resolution of nonperforming loans
and improved underwriting on new loans. The Bank's asset quality ratios were
also helped by the reversal of what had been an unfavorable trend over the past
several years, i.e., a shrinking loan portfolio. 1998 saw the first year over
year increase in the size of the loan portfolio in the past three years. The
Bank's loan growth came principally from the Bank's indirect automobile lending
program which was introduced in January 1998 and had grown to a portfolio of
$24.6 million by years' end.
As a result of its improved asset quality, the Company was able to
recapture into income $500,000 of allowances for credit losses. Improving asset
quality also led to the termination of the Memorandum of Understanding into
which the Board of Directors had previously entered with federal and state
banking regulators to address asset quality concerns, among other things.
Although the Memorandum of Understanding did not materially restrict day-to-day
operations, the mere existence of the Memorandum of Understanding meant that the
Bank was not able to obtain the regulatory approvals required to expand its
business. Since the Memorandum of Understanding was lifted, the Bank has been
able to open an additional branch.
Despite these favorable developments, net income was only up slightly
from 1997. The Company's earnings performance continues to be undermined by a
high level of non-interest expense. As in prior years, a significant portion of
the Company's non-interest expense was attributable to longstanding litigation
related to the activities of Mr. Brian Davis, a former Bank customer who is now
in prison for defrauding the Bank and other financial institutions. The Company
also incurred a significant amount of legal and professional expense in
connection with the attempted takeover of the Company by First Mariner Bancorp
("First Mariner"). By years' end, however, the Bank had resolved virtually all
of the Brian Davis related litigation and the Company had entered into an
agreement pursuant to which with First Mariner will cease its attempts to
acquire control of the Company.
Forward-Looking Statements
When used in this discussion and elsewhere in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K, 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 to advise readers that various factors, including
regional and national economic conditions, unfavorable judicial decisions,
substantial changes in levels of market interest rates, credit and other risks
of lending and investment activities and competitive and regulatory 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.
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.
Comparison of Results of Operations For the Years Ended December 31, 1998, 1997
and 1996
General. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company reported
consolidated net income of $833,192 ($0.78 basic and diluted earnings per share)
compared to a consolidated net profit of $747,247 ($0.68 basic and diluted
earnings per share) for the year ended December 31, 1997 and a consolidated net
loss of $1,020,177 ($0.94 basic and diluted loss per share) for the year ended
December 31, 1996. The increase in net income during the 1998 period was
19
principally attributable to the receipt of $1,126,077 in proceeds from insurance
settlements during the year and the recapture into income of $500,000 in
allowances for credit losses. These increases in income offset a decrease in net
interest income and an increase in non-interest expense which included amounts
paid in settlement of various litigation. Earnings per share for 1998 were
favorably affected by a reduction in the number of shares outstanding after the
Company repurchased 213,168 shares from First Mariner in November 1998. Weighted
average shares outstanding for 1998 were 1,071,026 compared to 1,092,768 for
1997. The increase in net income during the 1997 period over the 1996 period was
principally attributable to a reduction in the provision for credit losses to
$270,000 from $6,596,000 in 1996.
Net Interest Income. The primary component of the Company's net income
is its net interest income which is the difference between income earned on
assets and interest paid on the deposits and borrowings used to fund them. Net
interest income is determined by the spread between the yields earned on the
Company's interest-earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing
liabilities as well as the relative amounts of such assets and liabilities. Net
interest income, divided by average interest-earning assets, represents the
Company's net interest margin.
Consolidated net interest income for the year ended December 31, 1998
was $9,793,550 compared to $10,567,211 for the year ended December 31, 1997 and
$10,884,253 for the year ended December 31, 1996. The decrease in net interest
income for the most recent year was primarily attributable to a significant
decline in interest income which fell $1,587,696 (9.1%) for the year ended
December 31, 1998. The decline in interest income was attributable primarily to
a reduced average volume of earning assets and secondarily to a declining yield
on assets. The most significant reductions in earning assets involved the
investment securities portfolio. The Company has used the proceeds from maturing
and called investment securities to cover deposit outflows. The Company also
experienced a 66 basis point decline in the yield on the investment securities
portfolio as the Company has shifted its investment securities portfolio into
repricable GNMA securities from state, county and municipals. Interest expense
declined $814,035, or 11.8%, for the year ended December 31, 1998. For the past
several years, the Company's earnings performance has been impacted by a decline
in earning assets and declining net interest margin. Net interest margin for the
year ended December 31, 1998 was 4.94% compared to 5.09% for the year ended
December 31, 1997. The Company expects additional pressure on its net interest
margin as the result of its repurchase of 213,168 shares of its common stock in
late 1998. Due to the repurchase, the Company will be required to fund a greater
portion of its interest-earning assets with interest-bearing liabilities rather
than equity.
Consolidated net interest income decreased by $317,032 (2.91%) to
$10,567,211 in 1997 from $10,884,243 in 1996. The decrease in net interest
income in 1997 was primarily due to lower interest income attributable to
continued run-off of the loan portfolio. Interest expense declined $852,315, or
10.98%, for the year ended December 31, 1997. The decrease in interest expense
was attributable to deposit outflows in 1997. Net interest margin for the year
ended December 31, 1997 was 5.09% compared to 5.04% for the year ended December
31, 1996. The increase in the net interest margin for fiscal 1997 was primarily
due to the loss of accrued interest on loans charged off during fiscal 1996.

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. The incremental tax rate applied was 38.62%
for 1998, 37.42% for 1997 and 37.04% for 1996.
(2) Non-accrual loans included in average balance.
Provision for Credit Losses. During the year ended December 31, 1998,
the Company had a provision for credit losses of $(500,000) due to the recapture
of loss allowances during the third quarter compared to $270,000 and $6,596,000
in provisions during the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The recapture of loss reserves reflects improved asset quality and lower
charge-off activity during 1998. At December 31, 1998, the allowance for loan
losses equaled 179.5% of non-accrual and past due loans compared to 118.7% and
109.2% at
22
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. During the year ended December 31,
1998, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $798,336 compared to $1,191,196
and $5,233,679 in net charge-offs during the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1996. The higher provisions during fiscal years 1997 and 1996 reflect the amount
determined by the Company to be necessary to maintain the allowance for credit
losses to an adequate level after significant increases in loan charge-offs
during these years.
Other Income. Other income increased $1,394,555 (81%) during the year
ended December 31, 1998 compared to the prior year period. The bulk of the
increase in other income was attributable to $1,126,077 in proceeds from
insurance settlements received during the year. Included in this figure was
$1,125,000 received from the Bank's fidelity bond company in settlement of
claims related to the activities of a former employee. The Company does not
anticipate similar income during 1999. Other income during 1998 also benefitted
from a $256,000, or 95%, increase in gains on sales and calls of investment
securities. Other income for 1997 was lower than that recorded in 1996 because
of $560,000 in insurance settlements received in 1996. The absence of such
income during 1997 resulted in lower other income for the year notwithstanding
improved income from other fees and commissions and higher gains on the sale of
investment securities during 1997. In order to improve its interest rate
sensitivity for fiscal 1998, the Bank sold $16.0 million in long-term,
fixed-rate state, county and municipal securities which had been classified as
available-for-sale and invested the proceeds in adjustable-rate, mortgage-backed
securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA").
Other Expenses. Other expenses increased by $183,418 or 1.6% for the
year ended December 31, 1998. Included in other expenses for 1998 were
$1,225,003 in litigation charges, a $228,842, or 23%, increase over 1997. These
charges related to the settlement of claims against the Bank in connection with
payment of checks over fraudulent endorsements. Also included in other expenses
are $2,163,448 in professional service fees relating primarily to the litigation
in which the Company was involved during the year. With the settlement of most
of the major litigation, the Company hopes to reduce these expenses in 1999. For
the year ended December 1997, other expense increased by $2,573,983, or 28.5%,
primarily due to $996,161 in litigation and restructuring charges including a
$284,000 accrual for a judgment rendered against the Bank in the third quarter
of 1997 and a $700,000 expense incurred in connection with the settlement of
certain litigation during the second quarter. In addition, the Company
experienced increases in other expenses due to professional fees incurred in
connection with other litigation in which the Company was involved.
Income Taxes. During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company
recorded an income tax expense of $806,247 compared to tax benefits of $315,284
and $1,480,192 during the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996. Due primarily
to its holdings of tax-exempt state, county and municipal securities, the
Company recorded tax losses during the 1997 and 1996 years. These net operating
losses were applied to prior years' earnings resulting in tax benefits in each
of the periods. During 1998, however, the Company reduced its holdings of
tax-exempt state, county and municipal securities and reinvested the proceeds in
U.S. Government agency securities the income on which is not exempt from federal
taxation. Accordingly, the Company had taxable income during 1998 and was
required to provide for federal income taxes. The Company's income tax expense
for 1998 also included $351,738 in disallowed claims for refunds of prior years'
state taxes. The Company does not anticipate similar tax expense during 1999 and
accordingly expects a reduction in its effective tax rate.
Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996
The Company's total assets declined to $217,571,063 at December 31,
1998 after declining to $231,899,594 at December 31, 1997 from $254,324,701 at
December 31, 1996. The reduction in assets during the year ended December 31,
1998 reflects a decline in the investment securities portfolio as the Company
used the proceeds from maturing and called securities to fund deposit
withdrawals. The reduction in assets during the year ended December 31, 1997
reflects a decline in the loan portfolio to $111,545,262 at December 31, 1997,
net of allowances and unearned income, from $124,672,414 at December 31, 1996.
During 1998, the Company's loan portfolio grew to $125,501,252 at
December 31, 1998 compared to $111,545,262 at December 31, 1997 and $124,672,414
at December 31, 1996. The growth in the loan portfolio was
23
attributable almost entirely to the Bank's indirect automobile lending program
which was introduced in January 1998 and grew to $24,630,402, net of dealer
reserves at December 31, 1998. The Bank's other loan portfolios held steady or
declined during the year. The decline in the loan portfolio during 1997 was
largely due to a decrease in commercial and industrial loans during the period.
Commercial mortgage loans increased during the period while residential
mortgages decreased slightly and lease financing and installment loans also
decreased.
The Company's total investment securities portfolio (including both
investment securities available for sale and investment securities held to
maturity) totaled $65,485,827 at December 31, 1998, a $16,371,844 or 20.0%,
decrease from $81,857,671 at December 31, 1997. The Company used the proceeds
from maturing and called securities to fund deposit outflows during the period.
During fiscal year 1997, the total investment securities portfolio declined by
$14,716,000, or 15.2%, from $96,574,000 at December 31, 1996.
Deposits as of December 31, 1998 totaled $199,611,115, a decrease of
$7,499,157 (3.6%) for the year. Demand deposits as of December 31, 1998 totaled
$45,360,776, a $2,290,599 (4.8%) decrease from $47,651,375 at December 31, 1997.
NOW accounts as of December 31, 1998 remained basically the same at $20,600,751.
Money market accounts increased by $172,752 (0.9%) for the year to total
$20,049,677 on December 31, 1998. Savings deposits decreased by $2,287,000, or
5.3%. Meanwhile, time deposits over $100,000 totaled $8,104,000 on December 31,
1998, an increase of $640,000 (8.6%) from December 31, 1997. Other time deposits
(made up of certificates of deposit less than $100,000 and individual retirement
accounts) totaled $64,413,000 on December 31, 1998, a $4,061,000 (5.9%) decrease
from December 31, 1997.
The Company experienced a $4,795,917, or 25.3% decrease in total
stockholders' equity for the year ended December 31, 1998. The decrease in
stockholders' equity was attributable to the repurchase of 213,168 shares of
common stock from First Mariner Bancorp for an aggregate purchase price of
$5,580,764 in November 1998. The Company experienced a $378,220, or 2%, increase
in total stockholders' equity during the year ended December 31, 1997 as net
income during the period offset a decline in net unrealized appreciation on
securities available for sale resulting from the disposition of certain
available-for-sale securities. Surplus steadily increased, rising $382,153
(6.2%) during 1997 to $6,575,053. The increase in the surplus account was
primarily a result of the reinvestment of dividends pursuant to the Dividend
Reinvestment Plan and the payment of three one-percent stock dividends in lieu
of cash dividends during the year ended December 31, 1997.
Asset/Liability Management
Net interest income, the primary component of the Company's net income,
arises from the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the
cost of interest-bearing liabilities and the relative amounts of such assets and
liabilities. The Company manages its assets and liabilities by coordinating the
levels of and gap between interest-rate sensitive assets and liabilities to
minimize changes in net interest income and in the economic value of its equity
despite changes in market interest rates. The Bank's Asset/Liability and Risk
Management Committee meets on a monthly basis to monitor compliance with the
Board's objectives. Among other tools used by the Asset/Liability and Risk
Management Committee to monitor interest rate risk is a "gap" report which
measures the dollar difference between the amount of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities subject to repricing within a given time period.
Generally, during a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap position
would adversely affect net interest income, while a positive gap would result in
an increase in net interest income, while, conversely, during a period of
falling interest rates, a negative gap would result in an increase in net
interest income and a positive gap would adversely affect net interest income.
During recent periods, the Company has maintained a negative gap
position that has benefitted earnings as interest rates have fallen. In order to
reduce its negative gap position, the Company has recently begun investing in
mortgage-backed and other government securities which have rates that adjust to
market rates. The Company also maintains a significant portfolio of
available-for-sale securities that can be quickly converted to more liquid
assets if needed.

The foregoing analysis assumes that the Bank'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 within three months although it is the Company's experience that such
accounts may be less sensitive to changes in market rates.
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 and
money market mutual funds. The levels of such assets are dependent on
25
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.
Cash and cash equivalents (cash due from banks, interest-bearing
deposits in other financial institutions, and federal funds sold), as of
December 31, 1998, totaled $16,019,316, an decrease of $12,517,295 (43.9%) from
the December 31, 1997 total of $28,536,611. Most of this decrease was in Federal
funds sold which totaled $2,863,635 at December 31, 1998 compared to $18,850,000
at the end of 1997. The larger balance in Federal funds sold at the end of 1997
reflects a decision to increase liquid assets in order to fund January
securities purchase commitments.
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, 1998, $1.0 million was
outstanding under this line. In addition the Bank has a secured line of credit
in the amount of $5.0 million from another commercial bank.
Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure
As the year 2000 approaches, an important business issue has emerged
regarding how existing application software programs and operating systems can
accommodate this date value. For many years, software applications routinely
conserved magnetic storage space by using only two digits to record calendar
years; for example, the year 1999 is stored as "99". On January 1, 2000, the
calendars in many software applications will change from "99" to "00". Many of
these software applications, in their current form, will produce erroneous
results or will fail to run at all since their logic cannot deal with this
transaction.
The Company's Year 2000 plan calls for the identification of all
systems that could be affected by Year 2000 problem, the systematic assessment
of their Year 2000 readiness and the institution of appropriate remedial
measures and contingency planning. As part of its Year 2000 plan, the Company
has ranked its various computer systems according to their importance to the
continued functioning of the Bank. Assessment procedures range from actual
testing for the Company's most mission critical systems to seeking written self
assessments from individual borrowers. Based on these assessments, the Company
has instituted appropriate remedial measures which include software upgrades and
the replacement of vendors and hardware where necessary. The Company's Year 2000
plan includes contingency and back-up plans for mission critical systems.
The Company's mainframe computer hardware and systems software are Year
2000 compliant. The Company primarily utilizes third-party vendor application
software for all computer applications. The third-party vendors for the
Company's banking applications are in the process of modifying, upgrading or
replacing their computer applications to insure Year 2000 compliance. In
addition, the Company has instituted a Year 2000 compliance program whereby the
Company is reviewing the Year 2000 compliance issues that may be faced by its
third-party vendors. Under such program, the Company will examine the need for
modifications or replacement of all non-Year 2000 compliant pieces of software.
The Company has spent approximately $400,000 in 1997 and 1998 to upgrade certain
hardware and software and believes the cost of its Year 2000 compliance program
will not be material to its financial condition. The Company believes it is in
substantial compliance with its Year 2000 plan at year end 1998. In the event of
unforseen disruptions with Year 2000 compliance, the Company business operations
could be adversely affected.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Glen Burnie Bancorp and Subsidiaries
Glen Burnie, Maryland
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Glen Burnie
Bancorp and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, and the
related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years 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 audits.
We conducted our audits 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
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the 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, 1998, 1997 and 1996, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Bank of Glen Burnie (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 of Maryland (the 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 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
(see Note 21) 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
effective interest rate 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. Changes in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on securities available for sale are
reported in other comprehensive income. Realized gains (losses) on
securities available for sale are included in other income (expense)
and, when applicable, are reported as a reclassification adjustment,
net of tax, in other comprehensive income. The gains and losses on
securities sold are determined by the specific identification method.
Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the
effective interest rate method over the period to maturity.
Additionally, declines in the fair value of individual investment
securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected
as realized losses in the consolidated statements of income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses:
Loans are generally carried at the amount of unpaid principal, adjusted
for deferred loan fees, which are amortized over the term of the loan
using the effective interest rate method. Interest on loans is accrued
based on the principal amounts outstanding. It is the Bank's policy to
discontinue the accrual of interest when a loan is specifically
determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent
for ninety days or more. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status,
all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against
current period interest income. Interest income generally is not
recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further
loss is remote. Cash collections on such loans are applied as
reductions of the loan principal balance and no interest income is
recognized on those loans until the principal balance has been
collected. Interest income on other nonaccrual loans is recognized only
to the extent of interest payments received. The carrying value of
impaired loans is based on the present value of the loan's expected
future cash flows or, alternatively, the observable market price of the
loan or the fair value of the collateral.
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 borrower's 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 (appraised 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 other income or
expenses. Gains and losses realized from the sale of OREO are included
in other expenses. Loans converted to OREO through foreclosure
proceedings totaled $359,579, $610,557, and $182,551 for the years
ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively. Sales of OREO
that were financed by the Bank totaled $178,787 for 1997. No sales of
OREO were financed by the Bank for 1998 or 1996.
Bank Premises and Equipment:
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. The provision for depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the terms of
the leases or their estimated useful lives. Expenditures for
improvements which extend the life of an asset are capitalized and
depreciated over the asset's remaining useful life. Gains or losses
realized on the disposition of premises and equipment are reflected in
the consolidated statements of income. Expenditures for repairs and
maintenance are charged to other expenses as incurred. Computer
software is recorded at cost and amortized over three to five years.
F-9
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Intangible Assets:
Cost incurred related to goodwill represents the excess of the cost of
companies acquired over the fair value of their net assets at dates of
acquisition and is being amortized on the straight-line method over 10
years. The net book value of goodwill was approximately $368,000,
$422,000, and $477,000 at December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996,
respectively.
Long-Lived Assets:
The carrying value of long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles, including goodwill, is reviewed by the Bank for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
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 bases.
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 benefits, unused
deductible expense, operating loss, and 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.
Credit Risk:
The Bank has deposits in other financial institutions in excess of
amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank
had deposits and Federal funds sold of approximately $11,480,000 with
one financial institution as of December 31, 1998.
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 purpose of reporting cash flows.
Earnings (loss) per share:
In 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Share which changed the earnings
per share disclosure from primary and fully diluted per share amounts
to basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per common
share are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings
per share is calculated including the average dilutive common stock
equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent
shares consist of stock options, calculated using the treasury stock
method. In loss periods, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded
since the effect would be antidilutive. Earnings (loss) per share
disclosures for 1996 were restated to conform to these new calculation
methods.
Financial Statement Presentation:
Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

Note 2. Restrictions on Cash and Due from Banks
The Federal Reserve Board requires the Bank to maintain
noninterest-bearing cash reserves against certain categories of average
deposit liabilities. Such reserves averaged approximately $2,094,000,
$2,464,000 and $2,200,000 during the years ended December 31, 1998,
1997 and 1996, respectively.

Effective October 1, 1998, the Bank adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
133 (see also Note 20), which provides for a special opportunity to
reclassify held to maturity securities to available for sale. In
connection therewith, the Bank reclassified held to maturity securities
with amortized cost approximating $20,300,000 as available for sale,
resulting in an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of
approximately $270,000, net of deferred taxes of approximately
$170,000.
Contractual maturities of investment securities at December 31, 1998,
1997, and 1996 are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from
contractual maturities because debtors may have the right to call or
prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.
Mortgage-backed securities have no stated maturity and primarily
reflect investments in various Pass-through and Participation
Certificates issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and
the Government National Mortgage Association. Repayment of
mortgage-backed securities is affected by the contractual repayment
terms of the underlying mortgages collateralizing these obligations and
the current level of interest rates.

risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable terms. At December
31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, the amounts of such loans outstanding were
$1,495,082, $1,270,382, and $2,587,122, respectively. During 1998, loan

Note 9. Pension and Profit Sharing Plans
Through 1998, the Bank had 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 Bank decided to terminate this plan, effective December 31, 1998.
The Bank has also established a defined contribution plan as a
replacement plan, effective January 1, 1999. Upon termination of the
plan all participants became 100% vested. All accrued benefits under
the terminated pension plan will be provided to participants through
the purchase of annuities, or, in the case of actively employed
participants, at their option, in the form of a lump sum rollover to
the defined contribution plan. Any excess assets remaining in the
defined benefit plan after payment of all accrued benefits to active,
terminated, and retired participants are to be transferred to the new
defined contribution plan.
As a result of the termination of the defined benefit plan and the
ultimate funding of the defined contribution plan, the Bank has
recorded a prepaid pension asset of $1,248,153 and an accrued liability
of the same amount at December 31, 1998.

Note 9. Pension and Profit Sharing Plans (continued)
The Bank also has a defined contribution retirement plan qualifying
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code that is funded
through a profit sharing agreement and voluntary employee
contributions. The Bank's contributions to the plan are determined
annually by the Board of Directors. The plan covers substantially all
employees. The Bank's contributions to the plan included in expense
were $102,757 and $83,500 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. No contributions were made for 1996. Effective
January 1, 1999, the plan was amended to provide for discretionary
employer matching contributions to be determined annually by the Board
of Directors.
Note 10. Post-Retirement Health Care Benefits
The Bank provides health care benefits to employees who retire at age
65. The plan is funded only by the Bank's monthly payments of insurance
premiums due. The following table sets forth the financial status of
the plan at December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996:

Note 11. Other Benefit Plans (see also Note 14)
In March 1998, the Bank established and funded a grantor trust for
$1,500,000 as part of a change in control severance plan covering
substantially all employees. Participants in the plan are entitled to
cash severance benefits upon termination of employment, for any reason
other than just cause, should a "change in control" of the Company
occur.
In March 1998, the Company and Bank also established and the Bank
funded a grantor trust for $2,000,000 for indemnification of the
officers and directors of the Bank and/or Company for any litigation
expenses incurred in connection with any "change of control" of the
Company.
Subsequent to the repurchase of the Company's common stock under a
"Redemption Agreement" and entering into a standstill agreement (see
Note 14), and effective as of December 31, 1998, all assets held by
these trusts were returned to the Bank. The severance trust continues
to exist on an unfunded status, while the litigation trust was
terminated on December 31, 1998.
In March 1998, the Bank established and funded a grantor trust for
$285,000 as part of an employment agreement with the Chief Operating
Officer of the Bank. The agreement provides for the payment of benefits
upon termination of employment, for any reason other than just cause,
after a "change in control" of the Company. Balances held in this trust
of approximately $293,000 at December 31, 1998 are prepaid expenses and
included in other assets.

Note 14. Repurchase and Retirement of Company Common Stock
During 1998, the Company was pursued by another competing financial
institution (the institution) in a hostile take-over attempt. In
November 1998, the Company reached an agreement with the institution to
repurchase 213,168 shares of its common stock, or approximately 19.5%
of its outstanding shares, for an aggregate purchase price of
$5,580,764. In conjunction with the redemption agreement, the Company
and the institution also entered into a standstill agreement through
November 2008. Under the standstill agreement, the Company will make
payments over five years totaling $675,510 beginning with the first
payment of $150,000 in January 1999 and four subsequent annual payments
of $131,378.
Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies
Financial instruments:
The Bank is a party to financial instruments in the normal course of
business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial
instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of
credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and
interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the
consolidated financial statements.
Outstanding loan commitments, unused lines of credit and letters of
credit are as follows:

Construction and land development $ 1,537,400 $ 150,000 $ 1,865,000

=========== =========== ===========
Letters of credit $ 2,012,626 $ 2,221,173 $ 3,132,661
=========== =========== ===========
Loan commitments and lines of credit are agreements to lend to
customers as long as there is no violation of any conditions 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. Many
of the loan commitments and lines of credit are expected to expire
without being drawn upon; accordingly, the total commitment amounts do
not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates
each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of
collateral or other security obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank
upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation.
Collateral held varies but may include deposits held in financial
institutions, U.S. Treasury securities, other marketable securities,
accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, personal
residences, income-producing commercial properties, and land under
development. Personal guarantees are also obtained to provide added
security for certain commitments.
Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those
guarantees are primarily issued to guarantee the installation of real
property improvements and similar transactions. The credit risk
involved in issuing letters of credit is
F-23
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
customers. The Bank holds collateral and obtains personal guarantees
supporting those commitments for which collateral or other securities
is deemed necessary.
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,
1998, 1997, and 1996, $67,168, $70,168, and $139,382, respectively,
have been provided as an allowance for credit losses related to these
financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, which is reflected
as a reduction of loans.
Legal proceedings:
The Bank is a defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in
the ordinary course of business. The Bank is being sued for
approximately $250,000 for allegedly honoring checks with invalid
endorsements. The Bank's management is contesting the suit vigorously
and asserting the Bank's counterclaim which seeks damages in an amount
in excess of the damage sought by the plaintiff.
Note 16. Stockholders' Equity
Restrictions on dividends:
The Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends
that it may pay. Under Maryland banking law, the Board of Directors may
declare cash dividends from undivided profits after providing for
expenses, losses, interest and taxes accrued or due. In 1997 and 1996
the Bank's payment of dividends was restricted by a Memorandum of
Understanding (M.O.U.) (see also Note 18) which required prior approval
of the FDIC and the State Banking Commissioner of the State of Maryland
for the payment of dividends by the Bank in excess of 50% of its net
operating income or if the Bank's Tier 1 capital ratio would be reduced
below 6%. This M.O.U. was lifted in June 1998.
Employee stock purchase benefit plans:
During 1998, the Company established a stock-based compensation plan,
which is described below. The Bank applies Accounting Principles Board
Opinion ("APB") No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for
this plan. Compensation cost of $21,607 has been recognized in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements for options granted in
1998. If compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation
plan had been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for
awards under this plan consistent with the methods outlined in SFAS No.
123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, there would be no material
change in reported net income.
Employees who have completed one year of service are eligible to
participate in the employee stock purchase plan. The number of shares
of common stock granted under options will bear a uniform relationship
to compensation. The plan allows employees to buy stock under options
granted at the lesser of 85 percent of the fair market value of the
stock on the date of grant or exercise. Options granted will expire no
later than 27 months from the grant date or upon termination of
employment. Activity under this plan is as follows:

At December 31, 1998, there were 24,065 shares of common stock reserved
for issuance under the plan.
The Board of Directors may suspend or discontinue the plan at its
discretion.
Dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan:
The Company's dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan allows all
participating stockholders the opportunity to receive additional shares
of common stock in lieu of cash dividends at 95 percent of the fair
market value on the dividend payment date.
In October 1996, the Company suspended participation in the dividend
reinvestment and stock purchase plan until the Company completed
additional filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
plan was reinstated in 1998.
During 1998 and 1996, 7,015 and 10,820 shares of common stock,
respectively, were purchased under the plan. At December 31, 1998,
there were 199,335 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under
the plan.
The Board of Directors may suspend or discontinue the plan at its
discretion.
Stockholder purchase plan:
The Company's stockholder purchase plan allows participating
stockholders an option to purchase newly issued shares of common stock.
The number of shares that may be purchased pursuant to options shall be
determined by the Board of Directors. Options granted will expire no
later than 3 months from the grant date. Each option will entitle the
stockholder to purchase one share of common stock, and will be granted
in proportion to stockholder share holdings. At the discretion of the
Board of Directors, stockholders may be given the opportunity to
purchase unsubscribed shares.

Note 16. Stockholders Equity (continued)
Regulatory capital requirements:
The Company and Bank are 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
Company's financial statements. The Company and Bank must meet specific
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's
and Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting principles. The Company's and
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 Company and 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, 1998, 1997, and 1996, that the
Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which it is
subject.
As of December 31, 1998, 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 management believes have changed the Bank's category.
A comparison of capital as of December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996 with
minimum requirements is approximately as follows:

Diluted earnings per share calculations were not required for 1997 and

net losses in 1996.
Options relating to the stockholder purchase plan have an anti-dilutive
effect, and therefore were not included in the diluted calculation.
Note 18. Regulatory Matters
In June 1996, the Bank entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
(M.O.U.) 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.
In July 1997, the Bank entered into a revised M.O.U., which stipulated
certain dividend restrictions and corrective actions regarding
management, asset quality, earnings, capital, sensitivity to market
risk, and risk management.
In June 1998, the Bank was found to be in compliance with the revised
M.O.U., resulting in termination of the agreement.

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.
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.

Note 19. Fair Values of Financial Instruments (continued)
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.
Note 20. Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income (SFAS No. 130), establishes additional standards
for reporting and display of "comprehensive income" and its components
on the Company's financial statements. Effective for 1998, the Bank
retroactively adopted this pronouncement. Comprehensive income is
defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise from
transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources
(including net income). It includes all changes in equity except those
resulting from investments by owners. Changes in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on securities available for sale, net of
taxes, are an item of comprehensive income. The column previously
reported as "net unrealized depreciation on securities available for
sale" on the Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity has been
changed to "accumulated other comprehensive income."
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132, Employers'
Disclosure about Pensions and Other Post-retirement Benefits (SFAS No.
132), revised the disclosures about pension and other post-retirement
benefit plans (see Note 9 and 10). Effective in 1998, it did not change
the measurement or recognition of those plans.
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133), requires
that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those
instruments at fair value. The Bank adopted this pronouncement
effective October 1, 1998, and, while there were no derivative
instruments held by the Bank and no hedging activities in 1998, the
Bank elected to reclassify certain held to maturity securities to
available for sale as allowed under this pronouncement (see also Note
3).
