PART I


General

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 northern Anne Arundel County and surrounding areas from its main office and branch in Glen Burnie, Maryland and branch offices in Odenton, Riviera Beach, Crownsville, Severn (two locations), Linthicum and Severna Park, Maryland. The Bank also maintains two remote Automated Teller Machine (“ATM”) locations in Ferndale and Pasadena, Maryland. The Bank maintains a website at www.thebankofglenburnie.com. The Bank is the oldest independent commercial bank in Anne Arundel County. The Bank is engaged in the commercial and retail banking business as authorized by the banking statutes of the State of Maryland, including the acceptance of demand and time deposits, and the origination of loans to individuals, associations, partnerships and corporations. The Bank’s 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 also originates automobile loans through arrangements with local automobile dealers.  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.

Economic and Credit Turmoil of 2008 and 2009

The turmoil and economic downturn of 2008, which continued in 2009, has engulfed the United States and world financial services industry. The ensuing overall consequences to numerous industries and the U.S. economy is well known and discussed daily in the media.  The Bank and, as a result, the Company, have not been immune to the impact of these difficult economic times.  While, due to conservative lending decisions, the Bank has no exposure to the credit issues affecting the sub-prime residential mortgage market, the economic slowdown resulted in the necessity of our contributing $2,442,976 to the provision for loan losses in 2009, in addition to the $1,145,649 provision made in 2008, primarily due to valuation issues in our commercial mortgage portfolio and continuing delinquency in our indirect automobile portfolio combined with adjustments we made to the risk factors in our calculation of required loan loss reserves. In addition, the economic downturn also resulted in an FDIC insurance premium assessment for 2009 of $549,716, a more than 1,400% increase from the 2008 assessment of $35,544.  In 2008, the economic downturn also resulted in the necessity of the Bank taking in our first OREO (Other Real Estate Owned) property on a defaulted mortgage since 1999.  Also in 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency was named conservator over both the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), two government sponsored agencies in which we had invested through the purchase of $3,000,000 of AAA rated preferred stock.  As a result, in 2008 we wrote down the value of those investments to $184,000 by taking a charge to earnings in third quarter of 2008 of $2,816,000.  Each of these factors will be discussed as appropriate elsewhere in this report.  Nevertheless, despite the continuing economic downturn and these events, which are unusual for us in any year, we realized net income of $1,262,462 for 2009, and $403,962 net income for 2008.  We remain well capitalized and did not need to apply for any funding from the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).  During 2009, we continued to lend money and, we believe, meet the needs of our customers and neighbors through a difficult year.  We believe we are a sound, conservatively run financial institution that has been profitable in 2008 and 2009 despite the deterioration in the economic environment and the outside forces that have affected us these past two years.

Market Area

The Bank considers its principal market area for lending and deposit products to consist of Northern Anne Arundel County, Maryland, which consists of those portions of the county north of U.S. Route 50. Northern Anne Arundel County includes mature suburbs of the City of Baltimore, which in recent years have experienced modest population growth and are 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 businesses located at or around the nearby Baltimore Washington International Airport. Anne Arundel County is generally considered to have more affordable housing than other suburban Baltimore areas and attracts 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, 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 Company 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 consumer lending currently consists primarily of indirect automobile loans originated through arrangements with local dealers.

The Company’s total loan portfolio increased during the 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, and 2005 fiscal years.  In 2009, the increase in the loan portfolio was primarily due to increases in refinanced mortgage loans, purchased money mortgage loans, home equity and commercial mortgages, partially offset by a decrease in indirect loans and mortgage participations purchased. In 2008, the increase in the loan portfolio was primarily due to increases in refinanced mortgage loans, commercial and residential construction loans and mortgage participations purchased, partially offset by additional mortgage participations sold and a decrease in indirect loans.  In 2007, the increases were due to residential and commercial mortgages and construction, offset by a decrease in indirect lending and mortgage participations purchased and an increase in mortgage participations sold.  In 2006, the increases were primarily due to an increase in commercial mortgages (due to an increase in participations), offset by decreases in residential mortgages and indirect automobile loans.  In 2005, the increases were primarily due to an increase in commercial and industrial mortgages and indirect automobile loans.

The following table provides information on the composition of the loan portfolio at the indicated dates.

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.  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 80%.  The maximum permissible loan-to-value ratio for residential and residential 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.  Because mortgage lending decisions are based on conservative lending policies, the Company has no exposure to the credit issues affecting the sub-prime residential mortgage market.

Commercial Lending.  The Bank’s commercial loan portfolio consists of demand, installment and time loans for commercial purposes.  The Bank’s business demand, installment and time lending includes various working capital loans, equipment, vehicles, lines of credit and letters of credit for commercial customers.  Demand loans require the payment of interest until called, while installment loans require a monthly payment of principal and interest, and time loans require at maturity a single payment of principal and interest due monthly.  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.

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, 2009, approximately 62.32% of the installment loans in the Bank’s portfolio (other than indirect automobile lending) had been originated for commercial purposes and 37.68% had been originated for consumer purposes.

Indirect Automobile Lending.  The Bank commenced its indirect automobile lending program in January 1998.  The Bank finances new automobiles for terms of up to 72 months and used automobiles for terms of up to 60 months.  For used vehicles, the age of the vehicle plus the term of the loan cannot exceed eight years.  The Bank does not lend more than the MSRP on new vehicles. On used vehicles, the Bank will not lend more than 110% of the average wholesale published in a nationally recognized used vehicle pricing guide.  The Bank requires all borrowers to obtain vendor’s single interest coverage protecting the Bank against loss in the case a borrower’s automobile insurance lapses.  The Bank originates indirect loans through a network of approximately 41dealers which are primarily new car dealers located in Anne Arundel County and the surrounding counties.  Participating dealers take loan applications from their customers and transmit them to the Bank for approval.

Other Loans.  The Bank offers overdraft protection lines of credit, tied to checking accounts, 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 borrowers’ cost, 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, including indirect automobile loans, are affected primarily by domestic economic 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.  Because the Bank deals with borrowers through an intermediary on indirect automobile loans, this form of lending potentially carries greater risks of defects in the application process for which claims may be made against the Bank.  Indirect automobile lending may also involve the Bank in consumer disputes under state “lemon” or other laws.  The Bank seeks to control these risks by following strict underwriting and documentation guidelines. In addition, dealerships are contractually obligated to indemnify the Bank for such losses for a limited period of time.

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 Bank’s Senior Credit Officer to identify potential underperforming loans and other credit facilities, estimate loss exposure and to ascertain compliance with the Bank’s policies.  On a quarterly basis, the Bank’s Internal Auditor performs an independent loan review in accordance with the Bank’s loan review policy.  For significant problem loans, management review consists of evaluation of the financial strengths of the borrower and any 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 aggregate lending authority granted by the Bank to any one Lending Officer is $750,000.  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 $3.0 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 allowance for possible loan losses.  Under this authority, the Bank would have been permitted to lend up to $3.08 million to any one borrower at December 31, 2009.  By interpretive ruling of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation, 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 was permitted to lend up to $5.02 million to any one borrower through December 31, 2009.  At December 31, 2009, the largest amount outstanding to any one borrower and its related interests was $4,890,000.

Non-Performing Loans

It will be the policy of The Bank of Glen Burnie that any loan that is ninety (90) days or more delinquent in the payment of principal and/or interest be placed into non-accrual status.   Notwithstanding the aforementioned, it is determined that there appears to be a substantial amount of risk of not collecting all of the agreed upon interest that would normally accrue to a loan, the loan should be placed into Non-Accrual status even if the determination is made prior to ninety (90) days delinquent.  A variance to this rule would be if the asset is both well secured and in the process of collection.  An asset is “well secured” if it is secured by (1) by collateral in the form of liens on or  pledges of real or personal property, including securities that have a realizable value sufficient to discharge the debt (including accrued interest) in full, or (2) by the guarantee of a financially responsible party.  An asset is “in the process of collection” if collection of the asset is proceeding in due course either (1) through legal action, including judgment enforcement procedures, or (2) in appropriate circumstances, through collection efforts not involving legal action which are reasonably expected to result in prepayment of the debt or in its restoration to a current status in the near future.

The Bank seeks to control delinquencies through diligent collection procedures.  For consumer loans, the Bank sends out payment reminders on the seventh and twelfth days after a payment is due.  If a consumer loan becomes 15 days past due, the account is transferred to the Bank’s collections department, which will contact the borrower by telephone and/or  letter before the account becomes 30 days past due.  If a consumer loan becomes more than 30 days past due, the Bank will continue its collection efforts and will move to repossession or foreclosure by the 45th day if the Bank has reason to believe that the collateral may be in jeopardy or the borrower has failed to respond to prior communications.  The Bank will move to repossess or foreclose in all instances in which a consumer loan becomes more than 60 days delinquent.  After repossession of a motor vehicle, the borrower has a 15-day statutory right to redeem the vehicle and is entitled to 10 days’ notice before the sale of a repossessed vehicle.  The Bank sells the vehicle as promptly as feasible after the expiration of these periods.  If the amount realized from the sale of the vehicle is less than the loan amount, the Bank will seek a deficiency judgment against the borrower.  The Bank follows similar collection procedures with respect to commercial loans.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, interest of $105,365 would have been accrued on non-accrual loans if such loans had been current in accordance with their original terms. During that period, interest on non-accrual loans was not included in income. $2,993,569, or 99%, of the Bank’s total $3,016,727 non-accrual loans at December 31, 2009 were attributable to 12 borrowers.  One of these borrowers was 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. Three of these loans are secured with commercial real estate collateral which should repay some or all of the active principal balance on the loans.

At December 31, 2009, there were loans outstanding, totaling $6,496,910, not reflected in the above table as to which known information about the borrower’s possible credit problems caused management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms.  These 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, 2009, the Company had $25,000 in real estate acquired in partial or total satisfaction of debt, compared to $550,000 and $50,000 in such properties at each of December 31, 2008 and 2007.  This decrease resulted from the sale in 2009 of OREO valued at $550,000, which was acquired in 2008.  The $25,000 balance at December 31, 2009 reflects the deposit on OREO acquired during 2009, which is awaiting ratification by the court.  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 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, 2009, see “Item 2. — Properties.”

Allowance For Credit Losses

The Bank’s allowance for credit losses is based on the probable estimated losses that may be sustained in its loan portfolio.  The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting.  (1) ASC Topic 450, formerly Statement of Financial Accountings Standards (SFAS) No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies”, which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable, and (2) ASC Topic 310, formerly SFAS No. 114 “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan”, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.

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 collectability of the principal is unlikely. The allowance, based on evaluations of the collectability 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, value of collateral, and current economic conditions and trends that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay.  Because mortgage lending decisions are based on conservative lending policies, the Company has no exposure to the credit issues affecting the sub-prime residential mortgage market.

In 2009, the Bank increased its provision for credit losses due to net charge offs on installment loans of $711,000 (primarily made up of charge offs on indirect automobile loans of $647,000) and adjustments to the risk factors for our loan loss reserve calculation as economic conditions deteriorated.

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 securities issued by U.S. Government agencies including mortgage-backed securities, securities issued by certain states and their political subdivisions, and corporate trust preferred securities.  The tax treatment of the Bank’s portfolio of securities issued by certain states and their political subdivisions allows the Company to use the full tax advantage of this portfolio.

At December 31, 2009, 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 Other Sources of Funds

The funds needed by the Bank to make loans are primarily generated by deposit accounts solicited from the communities surrounding its branches in northern Anne Arundel County. Consolidated total deposits were $294,357,837 as of December 31, 2009. The Bank uses borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Atlanta to supplement funding from deposits. The Bank was permitted to borrow up to $70.85 million under a line of credit from the FHLB of Atlanta as of December 31, 2009.

Deposits. The Bank’s deposit products include regular savings accounts (statements), money market deposit accounts, demand deposit accounts, NOW checking accounts, IRA and SEP accounts, Christmas Club accounts and certificates of deposit. 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, ATMs, telephone banking, and a customer call center. The Bank is a member of the Cirrus(R) and Star(R) ATM networks.

Borrowings. In addition to deposits, the Bank from time to time obtains advances from the FHLB of Atlanta of which it is a member. FHLB of Atlanta advances may be used to provide funds for residential housing finance, for small business lending, and to meet specific and anticipated needs.  The Bank may draw on a $70.85 million line of credit from the FHLB of Atlanta, which is secured by a floating lien on the Bank’s residential first mortgage loans and various federal and agency securities. There was $10 million in a convertible advance under this credit arrangement at December 31, 2009. The advance matures in November 1, 2017, is callable monthly, and bears a 3.28% rate of interest. There was a $5 million convertible advance settled July 21, 2008 with a final maturity of July 23, 2018.  This advance has a 2.73% rate of interest and was callable quarterly, starting July 23, 2009. There was a $5 million convertible advance taken out August 22, 2008 which has a final maturity of August 22, 2018.  This advance has a 3.344% rate of interest and is callable quarterly, starting August 22, 2011. There was $7 million in a long-term convertible advance under this credit arrangement at December 31, 2009. The advance matures in September 2010 and bears a 5.84% rate of interest. On September 7, 2000, the Company issued $5,155,000 of its 10.6% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures to Glen Burnie Statutory Trust I, a Connecticut statutory trust wholly owned by the Company. The Trust, in turn, issued $5 million of its 10.6% capital securities to institutional investors.  The debentures are scheduled to mature on September 7, 2030, unless called by the Company not earlier than September 7, 2010.  It is the Company’s intention to call these debentures at the earliest opportunity.  The Bank also has an unsecured line of credit in the amount of $9 million from another commercial bank but currently has no balance outstanding.  The Bank has a mortgage note on the 103 Crain Highway address with a balance of $33,711 as of December 31, 2009.  This note is payable monthly through October 2010 and has a 7% interest rate.

Competition

The Bank faces competition for deposits and loans from other community banks, branches or affiliates of larger banks, savings and loan associations, savings banks and credit unions, which compete vigorously (currently, sixteen FDIC-insured depository institutions operate within two miles of the Bank’s headquarters). With respect to indirect lending, the Bank faces competition from other banks and the financing arms of automobile manufacturers. The Bank competes in this area by offering competitive rates and responsive service to dealers.

The Bank’s interest rates, loan and deposit terms, and offered products and services are impacted, 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 the Bank believes would welcome personal service and flexibility.  The bank believes its greatest competition comes from larger intra- and inter-state financial institutions.

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, 2009, the Bank had 116 full-time equivalent employees. Neither the Company nor GBB currently has any employees.

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.

The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the “Riegle-Neal Act”) authorizes 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 been in existence for the minimum time period (not exceeding five years) specified by the statutory law of the host state. The Riegle-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 Riegle-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 Riegle-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 Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation.

 
11

 

Additionally, 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 Riegle-Neal Act by adopting a law after the date of enactment of the Riegle-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.

Effective with the enactment of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“G-L-B”) on November 12, 1999, bank holding companies whose financial institution subsidiaries are well capitalized and well managed and have satisfactory Community Reinvestment Act records can elect to become “financial holding companies” which will be permitted to engage in a broader range of financial activities than are currently permitted to bank holding companies. Financial holding companies are authorized to engage in, directly or indirectly, financial activities. A financial activity is an activity that is: (i) financial in nature; (ii) incidental to an activity that is financial in nature; or (iii) complementary to a financial activity and that does not pose a safety and soundness risk. The G-L-B Act includes a list of activities that are deemed to be financial in nature. Other activities also may be decided by the Federal Reserve Board to be financial in nature or incidental thereto if they meet specified criteria. A financial holding company that intends to engage in a new activity to acquire a company to engage in such an activity is required to give prior notice to the Federal Reserve Board. If the activity is not either specified in the G-L-B Act as being a financial activity or one that the Federal Reserve Board has determined by rule or regulation to be financial in nature, the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board is required.

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 of Financial Regulation 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.”

 
12

 

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 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 Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation 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 $250,000 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 customer information, the disclosure of credit terms and discrimination in credit transactions.
 
Patriot Act.  The USA Patriot Act (the “Patriot Act”), includes provisions pertaining to domestic security, surveillance procedures, border protection, and terrorism laws to be administered by the Secretary of the Treasury.  Title III of the Patriot Act entitled, “International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001” includes amendments to the Bank Secrecy Act which expand the responsibilities of financial institutions in regard to anti-money laundering activities with particular emphasis upon international money laundering and terrorism financing activities through designated correspondent and private banking accounts.
 
Section 313(a) of the Patriot Act prohibits any insured financial institution such as the Bank, from providing correspondent accounts to foreign banks which do not have a physical presence in any country (designated as “shell banks”), subject to certain exceptions for regulated affiliates of foreign banks.  Section 313(a) also requires financial institutions to take reasonable steps to ensure that foreign bank correspondent accounts are not being used to indirectly provide banking services to foreign shell banks, and Section 319(b) requires financial institutions to maintain records of the owners and agent for service of process of any such foreign banks with whom correspondent accounts have been established.
 
Section 312 of the Patriot Act creates a requirement for special due diligence for correspondent accounts and private banking accounts.  Under Section 312, each financial institution that establishes, maintains, administers, or manages a private banking account or a correspondent account in the United States for a non-United States person, including a foreign individual visiting the United States, or a representative of a non-United States person shall establish appropriate, specific, and, where necessary, enhanced, due diligence policies, procedures, and controls that are reasonably designed to detect and record instances of money laundering through those accounts.
 
The Company and the Bank are not currently aware of any account relationships between the Bank and any foreign bank or other person or entity as described above under Sections 313(a) or 312 of the Patriot Act.

The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 have realigned national security priorities of the United States and it is reasonable to anticipate that the United States Congress may enact additional legislation in the future to combat terrorism including modifications to existing laws such as the Patriot Act to expand powers as deemed necessary.  The enactment of the Patriot Act has increased the Bank’s compliance costs, and the impact of any additional legislation enacted by Congress may have upon financial institutions is uncertain.  However, such legislation would likely increase compliance costs and thereby potentially have an adverse effect upon the Company’s results of operations.

Community Reinvestment Act.  Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) regulations evaluate banks’ lending to low and moderate income individuals and businesses across a four-point scale from “outstanding” to “substantial noncompliance,” and are a factor in regulatory review of applications to merge, establish new branch offices or form bank holding companies.  In addition, any bank rated in “substantial noncompliance” with the CRA regulations may be subject to enforcement proceedings.  The Bank has a current rating of “satisfactory” for CRA compliance.

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.

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 in the case of 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, 2009, 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 Riegle-Neal Act authorizes the FDIC to approve interstate branching de novo by state banks, only in states that specifically allow for such branching.

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, will be required to begin paying an assessment to the FDIC in an amount equal to 2.12 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 or is under common control with the state non-member bank and, for purposes of the aggregate limit on transactions with affiliates, any subsidiary that would be deemed a financial subsidiary of a national bank. In a holding company context, the parent holding company of a state non-member bank (such as the Company) and any companies which are controlled by such parent holding company are affiliates of the state non-member 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 of $100,000 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.

At December 31, 2009, the Bank owned one foreclosed real estate property with a total book value of $25,000. The book value for the New Cut Road branch (formerly the South Crain branch) increased due to no longer leasing the premises but having built a new branch office.


From time to time, the Company and the Bank are involved in various legal actions relating to their business activities. At December 31, 2009, there were no actions to which the Company or the Bank was a party which involved claims for money damages exceeding 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.

PART II
 

The Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “GLBZ”.  As of February 23, 2009, there were 436 record holders of the Common Stock.  The closing price for the Common Stock on that date was $9.70.  A 20% stock dividend had been declared for stockholders’ of record on January 12, 2008, payable January 18, 2008.

 The following table sets forth the high and low sales prices for the Common Stock for each full quarterly period during 2009 and 2008 as reported by Nasdaq. The quotations represent prices between dealers and do not reflect the retailer markups, markdowns or commissions, and may not represent actual transactions.  Also shown are dividends declared per share for these periods.

A regular dividend of $0.10 was declared for stockholders’ of record on December 29, 2009, payable on January 6, 2010.

The Company intends to pay dividends approximating 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.

Performance Graph

The following graph compares the cumulative total return on the Common Stock during the five years ended December 31, 2009 with that of a broad market index (Nasdaq Composite), and a peer group consisting of publicly traded Maryland, Virginia and District of Columbia commercial banks with total assets between $200 million and $500 million (“Peer Group”). The Peer Group is comprised of Pinnacle Bankshares Corp., Bank of the James Financial Group, Inc., Botetourt Bankshares, Inc., Bay Banks of VA., Inc., Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Old Line Bankshares, Inc., Patapsco Bancorp Inc.,  Frederick County Bancorp Inc., Central Virginia Bankshares, Inc., Bay National Corp., Annapolis Bancorp, Inc., Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares Inc., and Carrollton Bancorp. A significant number of the banks we used in the Peer Group in prior years no longer qualified for the criteria which would afford a reasonable comparison to the Company and, accordingly, a new Peer Group was developed.  The graph assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 2004 in the Common Stock and in each of the indices and assumes reinvestment of dividends. The following information shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC or subject to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference into a later filing with the SEC.

ITEM 6.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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,” “intends”, “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and readers are advised that various factors, 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.

Overview

During 2009, net interest income before provision for credit losses increased to $12,101,787 from $11,922,003 in 2008, a 1.51% increase.  Total interest income increased from $18,176,036 in 2008 to $18,644,297 in 2009, a 2.58% increase.  Interest expense for 2009 totaled $6,542,510, a 4.61% increase from $6,254,033 in 2008.  Net income in 2009 was $1,262,462 compared to $403,962 in 2008. The increase in net income was primarily due to a write-down of $2,816,000 taken in 2008 on investments in three series of preferred stock issued by Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) held by the Company as a result of the appointment of the Federal Housing Finance Agency as conservator over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In 2009, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $2,442,976, an increase from the $1,145,649 provision made in 2008.   In addition, the FDIC assessment for 2009 was $549,716, an increase from the 2008 assessment of $35,544.

The Bank and, as a result, the Company, have not been immune to the impact of the continuing economic downturn in the United States in 2009.  While, due to conservative lending decisions, the Bank has no exposure to the credit issues affecting the sub-prime residential mortgage market, the economic slowdown resulted in the necessity of our increasing our reserve for loan losses in 2009, as noted above, primarily due to valuation issues in our commercial mortgage portfolio and continuing delinquency in our indirect automobile portfolio combined with adjustments we made to the risk factors in our calculation of required loan loss reserves. Despite the sharp economic downturn and these events, which have negatively affected our industry, we realized net income of $1,262,462 for 2009, remained well capitalized and did not need to apply for any funding from the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).  In 2009, the Bank’s loan portfolio remained stable with net charge-offs of $892,000 for the year.

All per share amounts throughout this report have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to a 20% stock dividend paid on January 23, 2006 and to a 20% stock dividend paid on January 18, 2008.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007

General. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company reported consolidated net income of $1,262,462 ($0.46 basic and diluted earnings per share) compared to consolidated net income of $403,962 ($0.14 basic and diluted earnings per share) for the year ended December 31, 2008 and consolidated net income of $2,782,141 ($0.93 basic and diluted earnings per share) for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The increase in 2009 consolidated net income was due to the write down on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock in 2008, offset by the increase in the provision for loan losses, the increased FDIC insurance premium assessment, and an increase in deposit and long term borrowings expense in 2009.  The decrease in 2008 consolidated net income was due to the write down on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock and the increase in the provision for loan losses.

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 income producing assets. 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.

Net interest income is affected by the mix of loans in the Bank’s loan portfolio.  Currently a majority of the Bank’s loans are residential and commercial mortgage loans secured by real estate and indirect automobile loans secured by automobiles.

In 2009, the Bank continued its strategy of reducing its portfolio of above market rate savings products and continued to direct its efforts to increase higher yielding commercial loans.  This strategy produced significant increases in the Bank’s commercial loan portfolio.  Because mortgage lending decisions are based on conservative lending policies the Company has no exposure to the credit issues affecting the sub-prime residential mortgage market.  At the same time, we have reduced our exposure to lower yielding indirect automobile loans.

Consolidated net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $12,101,787 compared to $11,922,003 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and $11,866,208 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The $179,784 increase for the most recent year was primarily due to an increase in loan income partially offset by a decrease in interest income on securities and increases in interest expense on deposits and long-term borrowings. The $55,795 increase for 2008 compared to 2007 was primarily due to an increase in loan income partially offset by decreases in interest income on securities and increases in interest expense on long term borrowings.   The interest income, net of tax, for 2009 was $12,807,059, a $212,720 or 1.69% increase from the after tax net interest income for 2008, which was $12,594,339, a $28,869 or 0.23% decrease from the $12,623,208 after tax net interest income for 2007.

Interest expense increased from $6,254,033 in 2008 to $6,542,510 in 2009, a $288,477 or a 4.62% increase, primarily due to a full year of interest expense on the long-term borrowings and an increase in deposit expense.   Interest expense increased from $5,971,048 in 2007 to $6,254,033 in 2008, a $282,985 or a 4.74% increase, primarily due to increased borrowings used to fund the outflow from maturing higher rate 15-month certificates of deposit and IRAs and to fund loan growth.   Net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2009 was 4.29% compared to 4.31% and 4.39% for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Provision for Credit Losses.  During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company made a provision of $2,442,976 for credit losses, compared to a provision of $1,145,649 and $50,000 for credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The increase in the provision for credit losses for 2009 was due to net charge offs on installment loans of $711,000 (primarily made up of charge offs on indirect automobile loans of $647,000), adjustments to the risk factors for our loan loss reserve calculation, and due to additional specific reserves on impaired loans, as economic conditions deteriorated.  At December 31, 2009, the allowance for credit losses equaled 117.61% of non-accrual and past due loans compared to 224.42% and 188.27% at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $892,000 compared to $728,000 and $285,000 in net charge-offs during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Other Income.  Other income includes service charges on deposit accounts, other fees and commissions, net gains on investment securities, and income on Bank owned life insurance (BOLI).  Other income increased from $2,050,587 in 2008 to $2,365,249 in 2009, a $314,662, or 15.34% increase. The increase was primarily due to an increase in gains on securities, partially offset by decreases in service charges and other fees and commissions.  Other income decreased from $2,157,292 in 2007 to $2,050,587 in 2008, a $106,705, or 4.95% decrease. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in service charges and other fees and commissions, partially offset by gains on investment securities.

Other Expenses. Other expenses decreased from $13,102,341 in 2008 to $10,994,851 in 2009, a $2,107,490 or 16.08% decrease. This decrease, which consists of non-interest operating expenses, was primarily due to the write-down of one Fannie Mae and two Freddie Mac securities in the amount of $2,816,000 in 2008, offset by increases in salary and employee benefits and FDIC assessments in 2009. Other expenses increased from $10,433,019 in 2007 to $13,102,341 in 2008, a $2,669,322 or 25.59% increase. This increase, which consists of non-interest operating expenses, was primarily due to the write-down of the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities mentioned above.  Lesser increases occurred in salaries and wages and occupancy costs, partially offset by decreases in employee benefits and furniture and equipment.

Income Taxes.  During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $233,253, compared to an income tax benefit of $679,362 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  This decrease was primarily due to a tax benefit of $1,110,770 from the write-down of $2,816,000 for the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities in 2008.  In addition to this, the amount of tax exempt income on municipal securities decreased and there was a larger amount contributed to provision for credit losses in 2009.  During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $679,362, compared to an income tax expense of $758,340 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  This difference was primarily due to a tax benefit of $1,110,770 from the write-down of $2,816,000 for the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities. In addition, in 2008 the amount of tax exempt income on municipal securities decreased and a larger amount was contributed to provision for credit losses.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007

The Company’s total assets increased to $353,396,697 at December 31, 2009 from $332,502,215 at December 31, 2008.  The Company’s total assets increased to $332,502,215 at December 31, 2008 from $307,273,868 at December 31, 2007.

The Company’s net loan portfolio increased to $235,882,862 at December 31, 2009 compared to $235,132,621 at December 31, 2008 and $199,753,132 at December 31, 2007. The increase in the loan portfolio during the 2009 period is primarily due to an increase in commercial mortgages, purchase money mortgages, refinances, home equity and demand commercial secured loans. They were partially offset by a decline in indirect automobile loans and mortgage participations purchased besides a larger provision for credit losses.  The increase in the loan portfolio during the 2008 period is primarily due to an increase in refinanced mortgage loans, commercial and residential construction loans, demand commercial secured loans and mortgage participations purchased.  These were partially offset by a decline in indirect automobile loans and additional mortgage participations sold.

During 2009, the Company’s total investment securities portfolio (including both investment securities available for sale and investment securities held to maturity) totaled $84,462,605, a $26,513,960 or 45.75%, increase from $57,948,645 at December 31, 2008.  This increase is primarily attributable to a increase in mortgage backed securities and Government Agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO) partially offset by a decrease in U.S. Government Agencies and non-Maryland municipal securities.  During 2008, the Company’s total investment securities portfolio (including both investment securities available for sale and investment securities held to maturity) totaled $57,948,645, a $19,917,368 or 25.58%, decrease from $77,866,013 at December 31, 2007.  This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in mortgage backed securities.

Deposits as of December 31, 2009 totaled $294,357,837, an increase of $24,590,239, or 9.12%, from the $269,767,598 total as of December 31, 2008.  Deposits as of December 31, 2008 totaled $269,767,598, an increase of $16,850,832, or 6.66%, from the $252,916,766 total as of December 31, 2007.    Demand deposits as of December 31, 2009 totaled $67,807,699, a $4,268,940, or 6.72%, increase from $63,538,759 at December 31, 2008.  NOW and Super NOW accounts, as of December 31, 2009, increased by $1,273,739, or 6.04% from their 2008 level to $22,353,053. Money market accounts increased by $2,520,056, or 19.74%, from their 2008 level, to total $15,284,223 at December 31, 2009. Savings deposits increased by $2,576,600, or 5.63%, from their 2008 level, to $48,378,319 at December 31, 2009. Time deposits over $100,000 totaled $45,246,086 on December 31, 2009, an increase of $7,602,739, or 20.20% from December 31, 2008. Other time deposits (made up of certificates of deposit less than $100,000 and individual retirement accounts) totaled $95,288,457 on December 31, 2009, a $6,346,539 or 7.14% increase from December 31, 2008.

 
25

 

Total stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2009 decreased by $2,759,130, or 9.89%, from the 2008 period.  The decrease was attributed to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, and the excess of the cash dividends paid and common stock shares repurchased and retired over the net income for 2009.  Total stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2008 decreased by $1,827,902, or 6.15%, from the 2007 period.  The decrease was attributed to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, and the excess of the cash dividends paid and common stock shares repurchased and retired over the net income for 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.  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.

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 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, 2009, the Bank has accrued $200,000 for unfunded commitments related to these financial instruments with off balance sheet risk, which is included in other liabilities.

Market Risk Management

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

The following table sets forth the Bank’s interest-rate sensitivity at December 31, 2009.

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 at within three months although it is the Company’s experience that such accounts may be less sensitive to changes in market rates.

In addition to gap analysis, the Bank utilizes a simulation model to quantify the effect a hypothetical immediate plus or minus 200 basis point change in rates would have on net interest income and the economic value of equity.  The model takes into consideration the effect of call features of investments as well as prepayments of loans in periods of declining rates.  When actual changes in interest rates occur, the changes in interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities may differ from the assumptions used in the model and, in the Bank’s experience, the changes historically realized have been narrower than those projected by the model.  However, the Bank believes that the model is a prudent forecasting tool.  As of December 31, 2009, the model produced the following sensitivity profile for net interest income and the economic value of equity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company currently has no business other than that of the Bank and does not currently have any material funding commitments.  The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and dividends received from the Bank.  The Bank is subject to various regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends.

The Bank’s principal sources of funds for investments and operations are net income, deposits from its primary market area, principal and interest payments on loans, interest received on investment securities and proceeds from maturing investment securities.  Its principal funding commitments are for the origination or purchase of loans and the payment of maturing deposits.  Deposits are considered the primary source of funds supporting the Bank’s lending and investment activities.  The Bank also uses borrowings from the FHLB of Atlanta to supplement deposits, residential and small business lending, and to meet specific and anticipated needs.

 
27

 

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 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, 2009, totaled $11,433,822, a decrease of $9,804,081 or 46.17%, from the December 31, 2008 total of $21,237,903.  This decrease was due to federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in FHLB.

As of December 31, 2009, the Bank was permitted to draw on a $70.85 million line of credit from the FHLB of Atlanta.  Borrowings under the line are secured by a floating lien on the Bank’s residential mortgage loans and its portfolio of U.S. Government and agency securities.  As of December 31, 2009, a $7 million long-term convertible advance was outstanding under this line.  There was also a $10 million convertible advance (callable monthly and with a final maturity of November 1, 2017.) There was a $5 million convertible advance settled July 21, 2008 with a final maturity of July 23, 2018.  This advance has a 2.73% rate of interest and was callable quarterly, starting July 23, 2009. There was a $5 million convertible advance taken out August 22, 2008 which has a final maturity of August 22, 2018.  This advance has a 3.344% rate of interest and is callable quarterly, starting August 22, 2011. In addition the Bank has unsecured lines of credit totaling $9 million from a commercial bank on which there is no outstanding balances at December 31, 2009.  Furthermore, on September 7, 2000, the Company issued $5,155,000 of its 10.6% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures to Glen Burnie Statutory Trust I, a Connecticut statutory trust wholly owned by the Company.  The Trust, in turn, issued $5,000,000 of its 10.6% capital securities to institutional investors.  The debentures are scheduled to mature on September 7, 2030, unless called by the Company not earlier than September 7, 2010.  As of December 31, 2009, the full $5,155,000 was outstanding.

Federal banking regulations require the Company and the Bank to maintain specified levels of capital.  At December 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with these requirements with a leverage ratio of 8.68%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 13.23% and total risk-based capital ratio of 14.49%.  At December 31, 2009, the Bank met the criteria for designation as a well capitalized depository institution under FDIC regulations.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.  Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature.  As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company’s performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation.  Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, starting on page F-8 and are essential to understanding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.  As discussed there, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment.  Management has used the best information available to make the estimations necessary to value the related assets and liabilities based on historical experience and on various assumptions which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.  The Company reevaluates these variables as facts and circumstances change.  Historically, actual results have not differed significantly from the Company’s estimates.  The following is a summary of the more judgmental accounting estimates and principles involved in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, including the identification of the variables most important in the estimation process:

 
28

 

Allowance for Credit Losses.  The Bank’s allowance for credit losses is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the actual events occur, including historical losses as an indicator of future losses, fair market value of collateral, and various general or industry or geographic specific economic events.  The use of these estimates and values is inherently subjective and the actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates.  For further information regarding our allowance for credit losses, see “Allowance for Credit Losses” under Item 1- “Business” of this Annual Report.

Accrued Taxes.  Management estimates income tax expense based on the amount it expects to owe various tax authorities.  Income taxes are discussed in more detail in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements.  Accrued taxes represent the net estimated amount due or to be received from taxing authorities.  In estimating accrued taxes, management assesses the relative merits and risks of the appropriate tax treatment of transactions taking into account statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance in the context of the Company’s tax position.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-01, Topic 105 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - Amendments Based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 - The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  Under this ASU, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) became the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.  For SEC registrants, rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP.  On September 15, 2009, the effective date of this ASU, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards unless a particular accounting or reporting standard was specifically grandfathered into the Codification as authoritative GAAP.  All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is no longer authoritative.  In the FASB’s view, the issuance of this ASU and the Codification does not change GAAP (except in limited instances not applicable to public nongovernmental entities).  The adoption of ASU 2009-01, formerly FASB Statement No. 168, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On January 12, 2009, the FASB amended Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, of the Codification to reduce complexity and achieve more consistent determinations as to whether other-than-temporary impairments of available for sale or held to maturity debt securities have occurred.  The ASU was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  This ASU was formerly FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 99-20-1, Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20.

In April 2009, the FASB issued three amendments to provide additional guidance and disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities.  These three amendments were effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  These amendments were formerly:

FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, which provides guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased.  This amendment is included in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820-10-35.

FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment, which provides guidance for impaired debt securities to make the guidance more operational and improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in financial statements.  This amendment is included in ASC 320-10-25.

FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements.  This amendment is included in ASC 825-10-50.

In  May 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events, which established general standards of and accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  This FASB Statement was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company has complied with the requirements of FASB 165.  This amendment is included in ASC 855-10-50 and 55.

 
29

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 to improve the reporting for the transfer of financial assets resulting from (1) practices that have developed since the issuance of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, which are not consistent with the original intent and key requirements of that Statement, and (2) concerns of financial statement users that many of the financial assets (and related obligations) that have been derecognized should continue to be reported in the financial statements of transferors.  This Statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter.  Earlier application is prohibited.  The Company will review the requirements of FASB No. 166 and comply with its requirements.  The Company does not expect that the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  This amendment is included in ASC 860-10.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), to amend certain requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements.  The Statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter.  Earlier application is prohibited.  The Company will review the requirements of FASB No. 167 and comply with its requirements.  The Company does not expect that the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  This amendment is included in ASC 942-810.

In August 2009 the FASB amended Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures by issuance of ASU No. 2009-05.  The update addresses measuring liabilities at fair value.  The update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price is an active market for the identical liability is not available, other specified  techniques may be used to measure fair value.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06- Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures amending Topic 820.  The ASU provides for additional disclosures of transfers between assets and liabilities valued under Level 1 and 2 inputs as well as additional disclosures regarding those assets and liabilities valued under Level 3 inputs.  The new disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for those provisions addressing Level 3 fair value measurements which provisions are effective for fiscal years, and periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2010.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner.  The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated this system of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, and have concluded that the system is effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 Management (with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.
 
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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, 2009, 2008, and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended.  Glen Burnie Bancorp and subsidiaries’ management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  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.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, 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, 2009, 2008, and 2007, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 and financial reporting policies of the Bank conform, in all material respects, to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and to general practices within the banking industry.

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

Subsequent Events:

Glen Burnie Bancorp (“Bancorp”) and its subsidiaries have evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the financial data included herein, March 12, 2010.

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Glen Burnie Bancorp 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 20) of the Company account for the subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting.

The Company determines whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity by first evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity or a variable interest entity under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  Voting interest entities are entities, in which the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to enable the entity to finance itself independently and provides the equity holders with the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to make decisions about the entity’s activities.  The Company consolidates voting interest entities in which it has all, or at least a majority of, the voting interest.  As defined in applicable accounting standards, variable interest entities (VIE’s) are entities that lack one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity.  A controlling financial interest in an entity is present when an enterprise has a variable interest, or a combination of variable interest, that will absorb a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receive a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both.  The enterprise with a controlling financial interest, known as the primary beneficiary, consolidates the VIE.  The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Glen Burnie Statutory Trust I, is a VIE for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary.  Accordingly, the accounts of this entity are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Codification:

The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  At that date, the ASC became FASB’s officially recognized source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) and related literatures.  Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.  All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative.  The switch to ASC affects the way companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies.  Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted within the United States of America 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 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, net of tax.  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.
  
Other Securities:

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Maryland Financial Bank (“MFB”) stocks are equity interests that do not necessarily have readily determinable fair values for purposes of the ASC Topic 320, formerly, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, because their ownership is restricted and they lack a market.  FHLB stock can be sold back only at its par value of $100 per share and only to the FHLB or another member institution.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and is based on the size and current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, an assessment of individual problem loans and actual loss experience, current economic events in specific industries and geographical areas, including unemployment levels, and other pertinent factors, including regulatory guidance and general economic conditions.  Determination of the allowance is inherently subjective as it requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends, all of which may be susceptible to significant change.  Loan losses are charged off against the allowance, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance.  A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors.  Evaluations are conducted at least quarterly and more often if deemed necessary.

The allowance for loan losses typically consists of an allocated component and an unallocated component.  The components of the allowance for loan losses represent an estimation done pursuant to either ASC Topic 450, formerly SFAS No 5, Accounting for Contingencies, or ASC Topic 310, formerly SFAS No 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.  The allocated component of the allowance for loan losses reflects expected losses resulting from analyses developed through specific credit allocations for individual loans and historical loss experience for each loan category.  The specific credit allocations are based on regular analyses of all loans over a fixed-dollar amount where the internal credit rating is at or below a predetermined classification.  The historical loan loss element is determined statistically using a loss migration analysis that examines loss experience and the related internal gradings of loans charged off.  The loss migration analysis is performed quarterly and loss factors are updated regularly based on actual experience.  The allocated component of the allowance for loan losses also includes consideration of concentrations and changes in portfolio mix and volume.

Any unallocated portion of the allowance reflects management’s estimate of probable inherent but undetected losses within the portfolio due to uncertainties in economic conditions, delays in obtaining information, including unfavorable information about a borrower’s financial condition, the difficulty in identifying triggering events that correlate perfectly to subsequent loss rates, and risk factors that have not yet manifested themselves in loss allocation factors.  In addition, the unallocated allowance includes a component that explicitly accounts for the inherent imprecision in loan loss migration models.  The historical losses used in the migration analysis may not be representative of actual unrealized losses inherent in the portfolio.  At December 31, 2009, there was no unallocated component of the allowance reflected in the allowance for credit losses.

Reserve for Unfunded Commitments:

The reserve for unfunded commitments is established through a provision for unfunded commitments charged to other expenses.  The reserve is calculated by utilizing the same methodology and factors as  the allowance for credit losses.  The reserve, based on evaluations of the collectibiltiy of loans and prior loan loss experience, is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on unfunded commitments (off-balance sheet financial instruments) that may become uncollectible in the future.

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 income or expenses.  Loans converted to OREO through foreclosure proceedings totaled $25,000 and $550,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  No loans were converted to OREO in 2007.  The Bank financed no sales of OREO for 2009, 2008, or 2007.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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 that 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.

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, as prescribed in ASC Topic 360, formerly SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Asset.  As of December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, certain loans existed which management considered impaired (See Note 4).  During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, management deemed certain investment securities were impaired and recorded an impairment loss on these securities (See Note 3).

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 benefits relate principally to accrued deferred compensation, accumulated impairment losses on investment securities, allowance for credit losses, unused alternative minimum tax credits, net unrealized depreciation on investment securities available for sale, accumulated depreciation, and reserve for unfunded commitments.

Temporary differences which give rise to deferred tax liabilities relate principally to accumulated depreciation, and accumulated securities discount accretion.

Credit Risk:

The Bank has unsecured deposits and Federal funds sold with several other financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounting for Stock Options:

The Company follows ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payments, for accounting and reporting for stock-based compensation plans.  ASC Topic 718 defines a fair value at grant date based method of accounting for measuring compensation expense for stock-based plans to be recognized in the statement of income.

Earnings per share:

Basic earnings per common share are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share are 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.

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 requires the Bank to maintain noninterest-bearing cash reserves against certain categories of average deposit liabilities.  Such reserves averaged approximately $5,026,000, $4,781,000, and $5,368,000 during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

At December 31,2009, the Company owned one pooled trust preferred security issued by Regional Diversified Funding, Senior notes with a Fitch credit rating of B, which is included in the securities described above.  The market for these securities at December 31, 2009 was not active and markets for similar securities were also not active.

The market values for these securities (and any securities other than those issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury) are very depressed relative to historical levels.  Therefore, a low market price for a particular security may only provide evidence of stress in the credit markets overall rather than being an indicator of credit problems with a particular issuer.

Note 3.  Investment Securities (continued)

During 2009, the Company took a write down of $76,779 on these securities to bring the book value into alignment with the current and performing principal balance outstanding, which we considered to be a prudent action to take in the current environment based on defaults by three of the twenty-nine financial institutions in the pool.  In addition, cash flow testing was performed by an unrelated third party in order to measure the extent of other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”).  This testing, assumed a 15% recovery with a two year lag on two of the previously defaulting financial institutions, with future defaults on the currently performing financial institutions of 150 basis points applied annually with no future recovery.  This testing resulted in a net present value of $1,142,047, compared to the book value of $1,127,965 at December 31, 2009.

In September 2008, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae government sponsored entities entered into conservatorship agreements with the U.S. Treasury Department.  This conservatorship precludes these entities from paying preferred stock dividends.  As a result, the market values declined significantly and the Company recorded an impairment loss of $2,816,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008.  The write down represented 94% of the initial investment in these securities.

Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses.  In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other things, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

As of December 31, 2009, management had the ability and intent to hold the securities classified as available for sale for a period of time sufficient for a recovery of cost.  On December 31, 2009, the Bank held 13 investment securities having continuous unrealized loss positions for more than 12 months.  Management has determined that all unrealized losses are either due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased, current call features that are nearing, and the effect the sub-prime market has had on all mortgaged-backed securities.  The Bank has no mortgaged-backed securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages.  The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline.  Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality.  Accordingly, as of December 31, 2009, management believes the impairments detailed in the table above are temporary and no impairment loss has been realized in the Company’s consolidated income statement.

Note 3.  Investment Securities (continued)

Contractual maturities of investment securities at December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 8.  Junior Subordinated Debentures owed to Unconsolidated Subsidiary Trust

The Bancorp sponsored a trust, Glen Burnie Statutory Trust I, of which 100% of the common equity is owned by the Company.  The trust was formed for the purpose of issuing Company-obligated mandatorily redeemable capital securities (the capital securities) to third-party investors and investing the proceeds from the sale of such capital securities solely in junior subordinated debt securities of the Company (the debentures).  The debentures held by the trust are the sole assets of that trust.  Distributions on the capital securities issued by the trust are payable semi-annually at a 10.6% rate per annum equal to the interest rate being earned by the trust on the debentures held by that trust.  The capital securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the debentures.  The Company has entered into agreements which, taken collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantee the capital securities subject to the terms of each of the guarantees.  The debentures held by the trust carry non-call provisions over the first 10 year period, and a declining 10 year premium call thereafter.  Both the capital securities of the statutory trust and the junior subordinated debentures are scheduled to mature on September 7, 2030, unless called by the Bancorp not earlier than September 7, 2010. It is management’s intention to call these securities in September 2010.

Despite the fact that the Trust I is not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the trust preferred securities issued by these subsidiary trusts are included in the Tier 1 capital of the Company for regulatory capital purposes.  Federal Reserve Board rules limit the aggregate amount of restricted core capital elements (which includes trust preferred securities, among other things) that may be included in the Tier 1 capital of most bank holding companies to 25% of all core capital elements, including restricted core capital elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax liability.  Amounts of restricted core capital elements in excess of these limits generally may be included in Tier 2 capital.  The current quantitative limits do not preclude the Company from including the $5.0 million in trust preferred securities outstanding in Tier 1 capital.

The relationship between pre-tax loss and income tax benefits for 2008 is affected by increased deferred tax benefits attributable to tax methodologies utilized for loan loss provisions.

The components of the net deferred income tax benefits as of December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 are as follows:

Management has determined that no valuation allowance is required as it believes it is more likely then not that all of the deferred tax assets will be fully realizable in the future.  At December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions under ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes (formerly FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 14.  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:

   
2009
   
2008
   
2007
 
Loan commitments:
                 
Construction and land development
  $ 1,155,200     $ 400,000     $ -  
Other mortgage loans
    2,270,000       2,590,000       685,000  
                         
    $ 3,425,200     $ 2,990,000     $ 685,000  
Unused lines of credit:
                       
Home-equity lines
  $ 6,404,113     $ 6,395,182     $ 7,507,778  
Commercial lines
    11,335,335       13,380,292       18,335,771  
Unsecured consumer lines
    805,479       785,487       815,960  
                         
    $ 18,544,927     $ 20,560,961     $ 26,659,509  
                         
Letters of credit:
  $ 79,250     $ 196,530     $ 197,000  

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 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, 2009, the Bank has accrued $200,000 as a reserve for losses on unfunded commitments related to these financial instruments with off balance sheet risk, which is included in other liabilities.

Note 15.  Stockholders’ Equity

Restrictions on dividends:

Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of the Bank’s regulatory agencies.  Regulatory approval is required to pay dividends that exceed the Bank’s net profits for the current year plus its retained net profits for the preceding two years.

Retained earnings from which dividends may not be paid without prior approval totaled approximately
$13,813,000, $12,430,000, and $11,363,000 at December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively, based on the earnings restrictions and minimum capital ratio requirements noted below.

Stock repurchase program:

In February 2008, the Company instituted a Stock Repurchase Program which expired in December 2009.  Under the program, as extended and increased, the Company could spend up to $4,127,309 to repurchase its outstanding stock.  The repurchases may be made from time to time at a price not to exceed $12.50 per share.  During 2009, the Company repurchased 305,083 shares at an average price of $9.29.  During 2008, the Company repurchased 50,300 shares at an average price of $11.48.

Employee stock purchase benefit plans:

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan, which is described below.  As determined under ASC Topic 718 utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, management of the Company has not recorded any compensation expense for options issued during the year ended December 31, 2007, as there would be no material impact in the reported net income.  There were no options issued during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

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 85% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.  Options are vested when granted and will expire no later than 27 months from the grant date or upon termination of employment.  Activity under this plan is as follows:

         
Grant
 
   
Shares
   
Price
 
             
Outstanding December 31, 2006
    -

    3,126     $ 14.02  
Exercised

Expired
    (2,085 )   $ 14.02  
                 
Outstanding December 31, 2007
    -          

At December 31, 2009, shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan totaled 48,011.

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% of the fair market value on the dividend payment date.

 
F-25

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 15.  Stockholders’ Equity (continued)

During 2009, 2008, and 2007, shares of common stock purchased under the plan totaled 20,371, 20,003, and 12,791, respectively.  At December 31, 2009, shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan totaled 125,473.

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 Board of Directors shall determine the number of shares that may be purchased pursuant to options.  Options granted will expire no later than three 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.

There was no activity under this plan for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007.

At December 31, 2009, shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan totaled 313,919.

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

Under all three plans, options granted, exercised, and expired, shares issued and reserved, and grant prices have been restated for the effects of any stock dividends or stock splits.

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 their respective 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, 2009, 2008, and 2007, that both the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

The Bank has been notified by its regulator that, as of its most recent regulatory examination, it is regarded 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 have been no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

As discussed in Note 8, the capital securities held by the Glen Burnie Statutory Trust I qualifies as Tier I capital for the Company under Federal Reserve Board guidelines.

Note 17.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 825, Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, formerly SFAS No. 107, requires the disclosure of the estimated fair values of financial instruments.  Quoted market prices, where available, are shown as estimates of fair values.  Because no quoted market prices are available or a significant part of the Company’s financial instruments, the fair values of such instruments have been derived based on the amount and timing of future cash flows and estimated discount rates.

Present value techniques used in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments are significantly affected by the assumptions used.  Fair values derived from using present value techniques are not substantiated by comparisons to independent markets, and in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments.

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.

 
F-29

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 17.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments (continued)

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.

Borrowings:

The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for short-term borrowings.  The fair value of long-term fixed rate borrowings is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates currently offered for similar financial instruments.

Junior Subordinated Debentures:

Fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices of similar instruments.

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.  In addition, 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 18.  Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC Topic 820, formerly SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements which provides a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value under generally accepted accounting principles.  ASC Topic 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet in periods subsequent to initial recognition, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis or on a nonrecurring basis.

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  ASC Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

 
F-30

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 18.  Fair Value Measurements (continued)

Fair Value Hierarchy
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities)
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Bank’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities)

In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs a detailed analysis of assets and liabilities that are subject to ASC Topic 820.

Fair value measurements on a recurring basis at December 31, 2009 are as follows:

                     
Fair
 
   
Level 1
   
Level 2
   
Level 3
   
Value
 
                         
Securities available for sale
  $ -     $ 84,462,605     $ -     $ 84,462,605  
 
Securities available-for-sale are based on quoted market prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

The Bank may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with GAAP.  Fair value measurements on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2009 are as follows:

                     
Fair
 
   
Level 1
   
Level 2
   
Level 3
   
Value
 
                         
Impaired loans
  $ -     $ -     $ 7,325,938     $ 7,325,938  
OREO
    -       25,000       -       25,000  
                                 
    $ -     $ 25,000     $ 7,325,938     $ 7,350,938  
 
The Bank is predominantly a cash flow lender with real estate serving as collateral on a majority of loans.  Loans which are deemed to be impaired and foreclosed real estate assets are primarily valued on a nonrecurring basis at the fair values of the underlying real estate collateral.  The Bank determines such fair values from independent appraisals.

Non-Financial Assets and Non-Financial Liabilities:

Application of ASC Topic 820 to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities became effective January 1, 2009.  The Corporation has no non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  Certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities typically measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include foreclosed assets (upon initial recognition or subsequent impairment), non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value in the second step of a goodwill impairment test, and intangible assets and other non-financial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment.

Foreclosed real estate were adjusted to their fair values, resulting in an impairment charge, which was included in earnings for the year.  Foreclosed real estate, which are considered to be non-financial assets, have been valued using a market approach.  The values were determined using market prices of similar real estate assets, which the Bank considers to be level 2 inputs.

Note 19.  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2009-01 – Topic 105 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-amendments based on SFAS No. 168 - The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (formerly FASB Statement No. 168).  Under the ASU, the ASC became the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB (see Note 1).

On January 12, 2009, the FASB amended Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures of the ASC to reduce complexity and achieve more consistent determinations as to whether other-than-temporary impairments of available for sale or held to maturity debt securities have occurred.  The ASU was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  This ASU was formerly FASB Staff Position EITF 99-20-1, Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20 (FSP).

In August 2009 the FASB amended Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures by issuance of ASU No. 2009-05.  The update addresses measuring liabilities at fair value.  The update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price is an active market for the identical liability is not available, other specified techniques may be used to measure fair value.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued three amendments to provide additional guidance and disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities.  These three amendments were effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  These amendments were formerly:

FSP FAS 157-4. “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”, provides guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased.  This amendment is included in ASC 820-10-35.

FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment provided guidance for impaired debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in financial statements. This amendment is included in ASC 320-10-25.

FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, required disclosure about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements.  This amendment is included in ASC 825-10-50.

In  May 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events, which established general  standards of and accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  This FASB was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company has complied with the requirements of FASB 165.  This amendment is included in ASC 855-10-50 and 55.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 19.  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 to improve the reporting for the transfer of financial assets resulting from 1) practices that have developed since the issuance of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, that are not consistent with the original intent and key requirements of that Statement and (2) concerns of financial statement users that many of the financial assets (and related obligations) that have been derecognized should continue to be reported in the financial statements of transferors.  This Statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited.  The adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  This amendment is included in ASU 2009-16, an amendment to ASC 860-10.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) to amend certain requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements.  The Statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter.  Earlier application is prohibited.  The Company will review the requirements of FASB No. 167 and comply with its requirements.  The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  This amendment is included in ASC 942-810.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06- Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures amending Topic 820.  The ASU provides for additional disclosures of transfers between assets and liabilities valued under Level 1 and 2 inputs as well as additional disclosures regarding those assets and liabilities valued under Level 3 inputs.  The new disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for those provisions addressing Level 3 fair value measurements which provisions are effective for fiscal years, and periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2010.
