                                     PART I

Item 1.  Business

General

         Severn Bancorp, Inc. is a savings and loan holding company that was
incorporated in Maryland in August 1990. It conducts business through three
subsidiaries: Severn Savings Bank, FSB (the "Bank"), its principal subsidiary;
Louis Hyatt, Inc., ("Hyatt Real Estate"), a real estate brokerage and property
management company, which it acquired in June 2001; and SBI Mortgage Company
("SBI"), which engages in the origination of mortgages not suitable to the Bank
such as mortgages to borrowers with credit backgrounds that the Bank does not
find suitable, or mortgages secured by properties that have a higher
loan-to-value ratio than the Bank customarily allows, and to a lesser extent,
owns investment real estate through subsidiary limited liability companies.

         The Bank's primary lending market is Anne Arundel County, Maryland,
where it also offers savings products through its two branches. To a lesser
extent, it also lends to borrowers located in other parts of Maryland and in
Delaware and Northern Virginia.

         As of December 31, 2002, Bancorp had total assets of $458,414,509 total
deposits of $377,925,041, and stockholders' equity of $43,181,377, for the year
ended December 31, 2002 net income was $8,948,220, of which $8,837,539 was net
income of the Bank.

Business of the Bank

         Severn Savings Bank, FSB (the "Bank") was organized in 1946 in
Baltimore, Maryland as Pompei Permanent Building and Loan Association. It
relocated to Annapolis, Maryland in 1980 and its name was changed to Severn
Savings Association. Subsequently, the Bank obtained a federal charter and
changed its name to Severn Savings Bank, FSB. The Bank operates two full-service
branch offices, one administrative office and one accounting and servicing
office. The Bank operates as a federally charted savings bank whose principal
business is attracting deposits from the general public and investing those
funds in mortgage loans. The Bank also uses advances, or loans from the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, to fund its mortgage activities. The Bank's revenues
are derived principally from interest earned on mortgage loans, fees charged in
connection with the loans and banking services, and gains realized from the sale
of mortgage loans. The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, advances
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, principal amortization and
prepayment of its loans. The principal executive offices of the Bank are
maintained at 1919 A West Street, Annapolis Maryland, 21401. Its telephone
number is 410-268-4554 and its e-mail address is mailman@severnbank.com.

      In addition to its deposit and lending activities, the Bank offers title
insurance and real estate settlement services through its wholly owned
subsidiary, Homeowner's Title and Escrow Corporation ("Homeowner's").

         The Bank also owns all of the common stock of Severn Preferred Capital
Corporation ("Severn Capital"), which was formed in 1997. Severn Capital is a
real estate investment trust that issued and has outstanding 200,002 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock. This preferred stock has an aggregate outstanding
balance of $4,000,040, which qualifies as regulatory capital of the Bank. The
Series A Preferred Stock pays a 9% annual non-cumulative dividend and is
callable at par, by the Bank, at any time.

The Thrift Industry

      Thrift institutions are financial intermediaries which historically have
accepted savings deposits from the general public and, to a lesser extent,
borrowed funds from outside sources and invested those deposits and funds
primarily in loans secured by first mortgage liens on residential and other
types of real estate. Such institutions may also invest their funds in various
types of short- and long-term securities. The deposits of thrift institutions
are insured by the SAIF as administered by the FDIC, and these institutions are
subject to extensive regulations. These regulations govern, among other things,
the lending and other investment powers of thrift institutions, including the
terms of mortgage instruments these institutions are permitted to utilize, the
types of deposits they are permitted to accept, and reserve requirements.

         The operations of thrift institutions, including those of the Bank, are
significantly affected by general economic conditions and by related monetary
and fiscal policies of the federal government and regulations and policies of
financial institution regulatory authorities, including the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System and the OTS. Lending activities are influenced by
a number of factors including the demand for housing, conditions in the
construction industry, and availability of funds. Sources of funds for lending
activities include savings deposits, loan principal payments, proceeds from
sales of loans, and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and other
sources. Savings flows at thrift institutions such as the Bank are influenced by
a number of factors including interest rates on competing investments and levels
of personal income.

Earnings

         The Bank's earnings depend primarily on the difference between income
from interest-earning assets such as loans and investments, and interest paid on
interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowings. The Bank typically
engages in long-term mortgage lending at fixed rates of interest, generally for
periods of up to 30 years, while accepting deposits for considerably shorter
periods. However, many of the Bank's long term fixed rate loans are sold in the
secondary market, resulting in gains on the sale of such loans by the Bank.

         Generally, rapidly rising interest rates cause the cost of
interest-bearing liabilities to increase more rapidly than yields on
interest-earning assets, thereby adversely affecting the earnings of many thrift
institutions. While the industry has received expanded lending and borrowing
powers in recent years permitting different types of investments and mortgage
loans, including those with floating or adjustable rates and those with shorter
terms, earnings and operations are still highly influenced by levels of interest
rates and financial market conditions and by substantial investments in
long-term mortgage loans.

Competition

         The Annapolis area has a high density of financial institutions, many
of which are significantly larger and have greater financial resources than the
Bank, and all of which are competitors of the Bank to varying degrees. The
Bank's competition for loans comes primarily from savings and loan associations,
savings banks, mortgage banking companies, insurance companies, and commercial
banks. Its most direct competition for deposits has historically come from
savings and loan associations, savings banks, commercial banks, and credit
unions. The Bank faces additional competition for deposits from short-term money
market funds and other corporate and government securities funds. The Bank also
faces increased competition from other financial institutions such as brokerage
firms and insurance companies for deposits. The Bank is a community-oriented
financial institution serving its market area with a wide selection of mortgage
loans. Management considers the Bank's reputation for financial strength and
customer service as its major competitive advantage in attracting and retaining
customers in its market area. The Bank also believes it benefits from its
community orientation.

Net Interest Income

         Net interest income increases during periods when the spread is widened
between the Bank's weighted average rate at which new loans are originated and
the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank's ability to
originate loans is affected by market factors such as interest rates,
competition, consumer preferences, the supply of and demand for housing, and the
availability of funds.

         The Bank has supplemented its interest income through purchases of
investments when appropriate. This activity generates positive interest rate
spreads on large principal balances with minimal administrative expense.

Interest Rate and Volume of Interest-Related Assets and Liabilities

         Both changes in rate and changes in the composition of the Bank's
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities can have a significant
effect on net interest income.

         For information regarding the total dollar amount of interest income

Market Area

         The Bank's market area for deposit gathering is primarily Anne Arundel
County, Maryland and nearby areas, since it has two branch locations, both of
which are located in Anne Arundel County. Anne Arundel County has a population
of approximately 500,000. The principal business of the Bank is attracting
deposits from the general public and investing those deposits, together with
other funds, in mortgage and consumer loans, mortgage-backed securities and
investment securities. The Bank's revenues are derived principally from interest
earned on mortgage, consumer and other loans, fees charged in connection with
loans and banking services, interest and dividends earned on other investments.
The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits and loan interest, principal
amortization and prepayments.

         The primary focus of the Bank's lending activities has been on first
mortgage loans secured by real estate for the purpose of purchasing,
refinancing, developing and constructing one-to-four family residences and
commercial properties in and near Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The Bank does
originate mortgage loans throughout the state of Maryland, Northern Virginia and
Delaware. The Bank is an active participant in the secondary market and sells
substantially all fixed rate long-term mortgages that it originates.

         The Bank originates residential mortgage loans that are intended for
sale in the secondary market as well as loans that are to be held in the Bank's
investment portfolio. Loans sold in the secondary market are either sold
directly to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") or are sold to
other investors with which the Bank maintains a correspondent relationship.
These loans are made in conformity with standard underwriting criteria to assure
maximum eligibility for possible resale in the secondary market, and are
approved either by the Bank's underwriter or the correspondent's underwriter.
Loans considered for the Bank's portfolio are approved by the Bank's loan
committee, which is comprised of the Executive Vice President and the Senior
Vice President. Meetings of the loan committee are open to attendance by any
member of the Bank's Board of Directors who wishes to attend. The loan committee
reports to and consults with the Board of Directors in interpreting and applying
the Bank's lending policy.


<PAGE>


         Loans that are sold are typically long-term (15 or more years) loans
with fixed interest rates eligible for resale in the secondary market. Loans
retained for the Bank's portfolio include construction loans, commercial loans
and loans that periodically reprice or mature prior to the end of an amortized
term. Loans are generally sold with servicing released. However, as of December
31, 2002 the Bank was servicing $5,758,947 in loans for FHLMC and $18,175,891 in
loans for other investors.

         The following table contains information, as of December 31, 2002, on
the percentage of fixed rate single-family loans serviced for others by the
Bank, by interest rate category.

                                    =======================

         The Bank's mortgage loan approval process is intended to assess the
borrower's ability to repay the loan, the viability of the loan, and the
adequacy of the value of the property that will secure the loan. The authority
of the loan committee to approve loans is established by the Board of Directors
and currently is commensurate with the Bank's limitation on loans to one
borrower. The Bank's maximum amount of loans to one borrower currently is equal
to 15% of the Bank's unimpaired capital or $6,567,000 as of December 31, 2002.
Loans greater than this amount require participation by one or more additional
lenders. Letters of credit are subject to the same limitations as direct loans.
The Bank utilizes independent qualified appraisers approved by the Board of
Directors to appraise the properties securing its loans and requires title
insurance or title opinions so as to insure that the Bank has a valid lien on
the mortgaged real estate. The Bank requires borrowers to maintain fire and
casualty insurance on its secured properties.

         The procedure for approval of construction loans is the same for
residential mortgage loans, except that the appraiser evaluates the building
plans, construction specifications, and estimates of construction costs. The
Bank also evaluates the feasibility of the proposed construction project and the
experience and track record of the developer. In addition, all construction
loans generally require a commitment from a third-party lender or from the Bank
for a permanent long-term loan to replace the construction loan upon completion
of construction.

Commercial Real Estate Loans

         At December 31, 2002, the Bank's commercial real estate loan portfolio
totaled $95,298,000, or 19.33% of the Bank's total loan portfolio. All of the
Bank's commercial loans are secured by improved property such as office
buildings, retail strip shopping centers, industrial condominium units and other
small businesses most of which are located in the Bank's primary lending area.
The largest commercial real estate loan at December 31, 2002 was a $5,200,000
loan secured by two office buildings in Reston, Virginia. The loan is subject to
the partial personal guarantees of a principal of the borrower, and has
consistently performed in accordance with the terms of the debt instrument.

         Loans secured by commercial real estate properties generally involve a
greater degree of risk than residential mortgage loans. Because payments on
loans secured by commercial real estate properties are often dependent on the
successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of these loans
may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate
market or the economy.


<PAGE>


Construction Loans

         The Bank originates loans to finance the construction of one-to-four
family dwellings, and to a lesser extent, commercial real estate. It also
originates loans for the acquisition and development of unimproved property to
be used for residential and/or commercial purposes in cases where the Bank is to
provide the construction funds to improve the properties. As of December 31,
2002, the Bank had 524 construction loans outstanding in the aggregate amount of
$191,196,444.

         Construction loan amounts are based on the appraised value of the
property and, for builder loans, a feasibility study as to the potential
marketability and profitability of the project. Construction loans generally
have terms of up to one year, with reasonable extensions as needed, and
typically have interest rates that float monthly at margins typically ranging
1/2 percent to 2 percent above the prime rate. In addition to builders'
projects, the Bank finances the construction of single family, owner-occupied
houses where qualified contractors are involved and on the basis of strict
written underwriting and construction loan guidelines. Construction loans are
structured either to be converted to permanent loans with the Bank upon the
expiration of the construction phase or to be paid off by financing from another
financial institution.

         Construction loans afford the Bank the opportunity to increase the
interest rate sensitivity of its loan portfolio and to receive yields higher
than those obtainable on loans secured by existing residential properties. These
higher yields correspond to the higher risks associated with construction
lending. Construction loans involve additional risks attributable to the fact
that loan funds are advanced upon the security of the project under construction
that is of uncertain value prior to its completion. Because of the uncertainties
inherent in estimating construction costs as well as the market value of the
completed project and the effects of governmental regulation of real property,
it is relatively difficult to value accurately the total funds required to
complete a project and the related loan-to-value ratio. As a result,
construction lending often involves the disbursement of substantial funds with
repayment dependent, in part, on the ultimate success of the project rather than
the ability of the borrower or guarantor to repay principal and interest. If the
Bank is forced to foreclose on a project prior to or at completion, due to a
default, there can be no assurance that the Bank will be able to recover all of
the unpaid balance of the loan as well as related foreclosure and holding costs.
In addition, the Bank may be required to fund additional amounts to complete the
project and may have to hold the property for an unspecified period of time. The
Bank has attempted to address these risks through its underwriting procedures
and its limited amount of construction lending on multi-family and commercial
real estate properties.

         It is the policy of the Bank to conduct physical inspections of each
property secured by a construction or rehabilitation loan for the purpose of
reporting upon the progress of the construction of improvements. These
inspections, referred to as "construction draw inspections," are to be performed
at the time of a request for an advance of construction funds. If no
construction advance has been requested, an inspection is made by a fee
inspector or senior officer of the institution on the subject property at least
quarterly.

Multi-Family Lending

         The Bank occasionally originates multi-family loans with terms up to 30
years, but with rate adjustments or balloon payments generally at three to five
years. These loans are generally made in amounts up to 75% of the appraised
value of the secured property. In making these loans, the Bank bases its
underwriting decision primarily on the net operating income generated by the
real estate to support the debt service, the financial resources and income
level of the borrower, the borrower's experience in owning or managing similar
property, the marketability of the property and the Bank's lending experience
with the borrower. The Bank also typically receives a personal guarantee from
the borrower. As of December 31, 2002, $1,318,000, or 0.27% of the Bank's total
loan portfolio, consisted of multi-family residential loans.

Land and Residential Building Lots

         Land loans include loans to developers for the development of
residential subdivisions and loans on unimproved lots primarily to individuals.
At December 31, 2002 the Bank had land and residential building lot loans
totaling $20,109,000, or 4.08% of the Bank's total loan portfolio. The largest
of these loans is for $3,400,000, and is secured by residentially zoned land in
Berlin, Maryland, and has performed in accordance with the terms of the debt
instrument. Land development loans typically are short-term loans; the duration
of these loans is typically not greater than three years. The interest rate on
land loans is generally at least 1% or 2% over the prime rate. The loan-to-value
ratio generally does not exceed 75%. Loans typically are made to customers of
the Bank and developers and contractors with whom the Bank has had previous
lending experience. In addition to the customary requirements for this type
loan, the Bank may also require a clean Phase I environmental study and
feasibility study to determine the profit potential of the development.

Consumer and Other Loans

         The Bank also offers other loans, primarily business and commercial
loans. These are loans to businesses not secured by real estate although they
may be secured by equipment, securities, or other collateral. They constitute a
relatively small part of the Bank's business, and are typically offered to
customers with long-standing relationships with the Bank. At December 31, 2002,
$3,894,000, or 0.79%, of the loan portfolio consisted of business and commercial
loans. Approximately .18% of the loan portfolio is in consumer loans.

Loan Portfolio Cash Flows

     The following table sets forth the estimated maturity of the Bank's loan
portfolios by type of loan at December 31, 2002. The estimated maturity reflects
contractual terms at December 31, 2002. Contractual principal repayments of
loans do not necessarily reflect the actual term of the Bank's loan portfolios.
The average life of mortgage loans is substantially less than their contractual
terms because of loan prepayments and because of enforcement of "due on sale"
clauses. The average life of mortgage loans tends to increase, however, when
current mortgage loan rates substantially exceed rates on existing mortgage
loans.

Loans to One Borrower

         The aggregate amount of loans that the Bank may make to one borrower is
15% of the Bank's unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. The Bank's largest
loan is in the amount of $5,200,000 and is secured by two office buildings in
Reston Virginia. The second largest loan is in the amount of $3,850,000 and is
secured by residential property in Arnold, Maryland. The third largest loan is
in the amount of $3,400,000 and is secured by residentially zoned land in
Berlin, Maryland. All of these loans have fully performed since their inception.

Origination and Purchase and Sale of Loans

         The Bank originates residential loans in conformity with standard
underwriting criteria to assure maximum eligibility for possible resale in the
secondary market. Although the Bank has authority to lend anywhere in the United
States, they have confined their loan origination activities to the states of
Maryland, Virginia and Delaware.

         Loan originations are developed from a number of sources, primarily
from referrals from real estate brokers, builders, and existing and walk-in
customers. Severn Savings also utilizes the services of loan brokers in its
market area. Loan brokers are paid on a commission basis (generally 1% of the
loan amount) for loans brokered to the Bank.

         The Bank's mortgage loan approval process is intended to assess the
borrower's ability to repay the loan, the viability of the loan, and the
adequacy of the value of the property that will secure the loan. The loan
committees of the Bank can approve residential and commercial loans ranging up
to $6,567,000 (the maximum amount of a loan to one borrower as of December 31,
2002). The Bank utilizes independent qualified appraisers approved by the Board
of Directors to appraise the properties securing its loans and requires title
insurance or title opinions so as to insure that the Bank has a valid lien on
the mortgaged real estate. The Bank requires borrowers to maintain fire and
casualty insurance on its secured properties.

         The procedure for approval of construction loans is the same as for
residential mortgage loans, except that the appraiser evaluates the building
plans, construction specifications, and estimates of construction costs. The
Bank also evaluates the feasibility of the proposed construction project and the
experience and track record of the developer. In addition, all construction
loans generally require a commitment from a third-party lender or from the Bank
for a permanent long-term loan to replace the construction loan upon completion
of construction.

         Consumer loans are underwritten on the basis of the borrower's credit
history and an analysis of the borrower's income and expenses, ability to repay
the loan, and the value of the collateral, if any.

         Currently, it is the Bank's policy to originate both fixed-rate and
adjustable-rate loans. The Bank is currently active in the secondary market and
sells the majority of its fixed rate loan products.

Interest Rates, Points and Fees

         The Bank realizes interest, point, and fee income from their lending
activities. The Bank also realizes income from commitment fees for making
commitments to originate loans, from prepayment and late charges, loan fees,
application fees, and fees for other miscellaneous services.

         The Bank accounts for loan origination fees in accordance with the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards on Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees
and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans ("SFAS No. 91") issued
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB"). SFAS No. 91 prohibits
the immediate recognition of loan origination fees as revenues and requires that
such income (net of certain direct loan origination costs) for each loan be
amortized, generally by the interest method, over the estimated life of the loan
as an adjustment of yield. The Bank also realizes income from gains on sales of
loans, and servicing released fees for loans sold with servicing released.

Delinquency and Classified Assets
         Delinquencies

         The Board of Directors reviews delinquencies on all loans monthly. The
Bank's collection procedures include sending a past due notice to the borrower
on the 17th day of nonpayment, making telephone contact with the borrower
between 20 and 30 days after nonpayment, and sending a letter after the 30th day
of nonpayment. A notice of intent to foreclose is sent between 60 and 90 days
after delinquency. When the borrower is contacted, the Bank attempts to obtain
full payment of the amount past due. However, the Bank generally will seek to
reach agreement with the borrower on a payment plan to avoid foreclosure.

         The Bank categorizes its classified assets within four categories: A)
Special Mention, B) Substandard, C) Doubtful and D) Loss. Special Mention loans
are 60 days or more in arrears and include all borrowers who are in bankruptcy
that have not missed any post-petition payments. The Bank reserves 5% on all
Special Mention loans. Substandard loans are loans that are 90 days or more
delinquent and are loans that have borrowers in bankruptcy that have missed a
post-petition payment. The Bank reserves 15% of substandard loans. The Doubtful
category consists of loans where the Bank expects a loss, but not a total loss.
Various subjective factors are considered with the most important consideration
being the estimated underlying value of the collateral. The Bank reserves 50% of
the amount of Doubtful loans. Loans that are classified as "Loss" are fully
reserved.

         All loans are individually evaluated if they are deemed classified. The
Bank also evaluates all delinquent loans, individually. The rest of the
portfolio is evaluated as a group and a determination is made, periodically,
concerning the inherent risks associated with particular types of loans and an
allowance is assigned to those particular groups.

         The Bank allocates reserves to its allowance for loan losses in two
ways. Where the bank has classified an asset it generally allocates the
percentage of that asset under its classification system to a specific reserve
if the asset is classified as Doubtful or Loss. In cases where loans are
classified as Special Mention or Substandard the bank usually does not allocate
its allowance for loan loss reserves to a specific reserve. The bank does not
allocate its allowance for loan losses based upon the unclassified portion of
its loan portfolio to specific loan reserves.

         It is the policy of the Bank to discontinue the accrual of interest on
any loan that is 90 days or more past due. The Bank historically has not
incurred any significant losses on delinquent mortgage loans.

         The following table sets forth information as to non-accrual loans. The
Bank discontinues the accrual of interest on loans 90 days or more past due, at
which time all previously accrued but uncollected interest is deducted from
income. As of the most recent reported period, $156,042 would have been recorded
for the year ended December 31, 2002 if the loans had been current in accordance
with their original terms and had been outstanding throughout the year ended
December 31, 2002 or since their origination (if held for only part of the
fiscal year). For the year ended December 31, 2002, $80,487 in interest income
on such loans was actually included in net income.

Classified Assets

         Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans and other
assets, such as debt and equity securities, considered by the Office of Thrift
Supervision (OTS) to be of lesser quality as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss
assets." An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by
the paying capacity and net worth of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if
any. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility
that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not
corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in
those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses
present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and
improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values.
Assets classified as loss assets are those considered uncollectible and of such
little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a
specific loss reserve is not warranted. Assets which do not currently expose the
insured institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification in
one of these categories but possess credit deficiencies or potential weakness
are required to be designated special mention by management.


<PAGE>


         When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either
substandard or doubtful, it is required to establish general allowance for
losses in an amount deemed prudent by management. General allowances represent
loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk
associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have
not been allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution
classifies problem assets as loss assets, it is required either to establish a
specific allowances for losses equal to the full amount of the asset so
classified or to charge-off such amount. An institution's determination as to
the classification of its assets is subject to scrutiny by the OTS, which can
require the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances. The
Bank reviews monthly the assets in its portfolio to determine whether any assets
require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.

         Total classified loans as of December 31, 2002 were $3,214,472.
Allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2002 was $3,990,600, which is 0.95%
of net loans receivable and 227% of total non-performing loans.

Investment Activities

         Federal thrift institutions, such as the Bank, have authority to invest
in various types of liquid assets, including United States Treasury obligations
and securities of various federal agencies, certificates of deposit at insured
banks, bankers' acceptances and federal funds. As a member of the FHLB System,
the Bank must maintain minimum levels of liquid assets specified by the Office
of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"), which vary from time to time. Subject to various
regulatory restrictions, federal thrift institutions may also invest a portion
of their assets in certain commercial paper, corporate debt securities and
mutual funds whose assets conform to the investments that a federal thrift
institution is authorized to make directly.

         The carrying values of the Bank's investment securities, including its
liquid assets, as of the dates indicated are presented in the following table:

Real Estate Owned

         As of December 31, 2002, Bancorp owned real estate in the amount of
$224,000 as a result of default under a loan to the Bank. The real estate is
being held by a subsidiary of SBI and is under pending contract of sale for
$450,000, scheduled to settle in March 2003.

Deposits

         Deposits are attracted principally from within the Bank's primary
market areas through the offering of a variety of deposit instruments, including
passbook and statement accounts and certificates of deposit ranging in terms
from three months to five years. Deposit account terms vary, principally on the
basis of the minimum balance required, the time periods the funds must remain on
deposit and the interest rate. The Bank also offers individual retirement
accounts ("IRA's").

         The Bank's policies are designed primarily to attract deposits from
local residents rather than to solicit deposits from areas outside their primary
markets. Interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal
penalties are established by the Bank on a periodic basis. Determination of
rates and terms are predicated upon funds acquisition and liquidity
requirements, rates paid by competitors, growth goals and federal regulations.

         Deposits in the Bank as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 consisted of
savings programs described below:

Liquidity and Asset/Liability Management

         Two major objectives of asset and liability management are to maintain
adequate liquidity and to control the interest sensitivity of the balance sheet.

         Liquidity is the measure of a company's ability to maintain sufficient
cash flow to fund operations and to meet financial obligations to depositors and
borrowers. Liquidity is provided by the ability to attract and retain deposits
and by principal and interest payments on loans and maturing securities in the
investment portfolio. A strong core deposit base, supplemented by other deposits
of varying maturities and rates, contributes to the Bank's liquidity.

         Funds available through short-term borrowings and asset maturities are
considered adequate to meet all current needs, and Management is continually
monitoring the Bank's liquidity position to meet projected needs.

         Interest rate sensitivity is maintaining the ability to reprice
interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities in relationship to
changes in the general level of interest rates. Management contributes interest
rate sensitivity to a steady net interest margin through all phases of interest
rate cycles. Management attempts to make the necessary adjustments to constrain
adverse savings in net interest income resulting from interest rate movements
through GAP analysis and income simulation modeling techniques.

Short Term Borrowings

         The Bank has an available line of credit, secured by its residential
mortgage portfolio, in the amount of Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of its total
assets, with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. As of year-end the available
line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta was $113,884,235. The
Bank, from time to time, utilizes the line of credit when interest rates are
more favorable then obtaining deposits from the public. The following table sets
forth short-term borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, with
original maturities of one year or less.

Employees

    As of December 31, 2002, the Bank employed 69 persons on a full-time basis
and 10 persons on a part-time basis. The Bank's employees are not represented by
any collective bargaining group, and management considers its relations with its
employees to be excellent. The holding company has no employees.

Severn Capital

         The Bank formed Severn Capital in 1997. Severn Capital was created for
the purpose of acquiring, holding and managing mortgage loans. Severn Capital
has elected to be subject to tax as a real estate investment trust under the
Internal Revenue Code and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Bank owns all
of the Common Stock of Severn Capital and administers the day-to-day operations
of Severn Capital for a fee. There are 200,002 shares of preferred stock of
Severn Capital outstanding. Dividends on the preferred stock are payable
quarterly, in an amount equal to $1.80 per annum per preferred share. The
preferred stock is redeemable, at $20 per share any time after June 30, 2001, at
the option of the Bank.

Hyatt Real Estate

         Bancorp acquired Hyatt Real Estate, a real estate brokerage and
property management company, in June 2001. Hyatt Real Estate is a real estate
brokerage company specializing in commercial real estate sales, leasing and
property management. It owns the facility within which it is located, at 1919
West Street, and is also the owner of the property known as 1919A West Street,
which is leased to the Bank for its administrative offices. As of December 31,
2002 Hyatt Real Estate had 22 licensed real estate agents and 11 employees.

SBI Mortgage Company

         SBI is a subsidiary of Bancorp that engages in the origination of
mortgages not suitable for the Bank. It owns subsidiary companies that have real
estate holdings. As of December 31, 2002, SBI had $676,696 in outstanding
mortgage loans and its subsidiary companies had $224,000 invested in the
ownership of land, which it acquired as a result of foreclosures initiated by
the Bank.

HS West, LLC

         HS West, LLC ("HS") is a subsidiary of the Bank. It owns certain land,
being approximately one acre in size, which is located in the City of Annapolis,
Maryland fronting on Westgate Circle. HS has obtained a special exception
approval from the City of Annapolis to construct an 82,000+/- square foot office
building with parking garage on the site. Currently, studies are on going
concerning the cost of the proposed building and site development. If cost
estimates are determined to be reasonable, it is the intention of HS West to
construct the 82,000+/- square foot building on that site for the use of Bancorp
and its subsidiaries. It is estimated that if the building is built, Bancorp and
its subsidiaries will occupy approximately 35 to 40% of the space, with the
balance of the space being offered for rent to third parties.

Regulation

General
         Savings and loan holding companies and savings associations are
extensively regulated under both federal and state law. This regulation is
intended primarily for the protection of depositors and the Savings Association
Insurance Fund ("SAIF") and not for the benefit of stockholders of Bancorp. The
following information describes certain aspects of that regulation applicable to
Bancorp and the Bank, and does not purport to be complete. The discussion is
qualified in its entirety by reference to all particular statutory or regulatory
provisions.

Regulation of Bancorp

         General. Bancorp is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject
to regulatory oversight by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). As such,
Bancorp is required to register and file reports with the OTS and is subject to
regulation and examination by the OTS. In addition, the OTS has enforcement
authority over Bancorp and its subsidiaries, which also permits the OTS to
restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the
subsidiary savings association.

         Activities Restriction Test. As a unitary savings and loan holding
company, Bancorp generally is not subject to activity restrictions, provided the
Bank satisfies the Qualified Thrift Lender ("QTL") test or meets the definition
of domestic building and loan association pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Bancorp presently intends to continue to
operate as a unitary savings and loan holding company. Recent legislation
terminated the "unitary thrift holding company exemption" for all companies that
apply to acquire savings associations after May 4, 1999. Since Bancorp is
grandfathered, its unitary holding company powers and authorities were not
affected. See "Financial Modernization Legislation." However, if Bancorp
acquires control of another savings association as a separate subsidiary, it
would become a multiple savings and loan holding company, and the activities of
Bancorp and any of its subsidiaries (other than the Bank or any other
SAIF-insured savings association) would become subject to restrictions
applicable to bank holding companies unless such other associations each also
qualify as a QTL or domestic building and loan association and were acquired in
a supervisory acquisition. Furthermore, if Bancorp were in the future to sell
control of the Bank to any other company, such company would not succeed to
Bancorp grandfathered status under and would be subject to the same business
activity restrictions. See "- Regulation of the Bank - Qualified Thrift Lender
Test."

         Restrictions on Acquisitions. Bancorp must obtain approval from the OTS
before acquiring control of any other SAIF-insured association. Such
acquisitions are generally prohibited if they result in a multiple savings and
loan holding company controlling savings associations in more than one state.
However, such interstate acquisitions are permitted based on specific state
authorization or in a supervisory acquisition of a failing savings association.

         Federal law generally provides that no "person," acting directly or
indirectly or through or in concert with one or more other persons, may acquire
"control," as that term is defined in OTS regulations, of a federally insured
savings association without giving at least 60 days written notice to the OTS
and providing the OTS an opportunity to disapprove the proposed acquisition. In
addition, no company may acquire control of such an institution without prior
OTS approval. These provisions also prohibit, among other things, any director
or officer of a savings and loan holding company, or any individual who owns or
controls more than 25% of the voting shares of a savings and loan holding
company, from acquiring control of any savings association not a subsidiary of
the savings and loan holding company, unless the acquisition is approved by the
OTS. For additional restrictions on the acquisition of a unitary thrift holding
company, see "Financial Services Modernization Legislation." Certain
individuals, including Alan J. Hyatt, Louis Hyatt, and Melvin Hyatt, and their
respective spouses ("Applicants"), filed an Application for Notice of Change In
Control ("Notice") in April 2001 pursuant to 12CFR Section 574.3(b). The Notice
called for the Applicants to acquire up to 32.32% of the Company's issued and
outstanding shares of stock. The OTS approved the request and required that the
proposed acquisition be consummated by April 16, 2002. By letter dated January
27, 2003, the Applicants requested an extension of time to acquire up to 32.32%
of the Company's issued and outstanding shares which request was granted by the
OTS. The Applicants have until February 12, 2004 to acquire up to 32.32%
ownership of the Company's shares. The Applicants own 28.7% of the total
outstanding shares of the Company, at this time.

USA Patriot Act of 2001

         On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed the USA Patriot Act of 2001.
The Patriot Act is intended is to strengthen U.S. law enforcement's and the
intelligence communities' abilities to work cohesively to combat terrorism on a
variety of fronts. The potential impact of the Act on financial institutions of
all kinds is significant and wide ranging. The Act contains sweeping anti-money
laundering and financial transparency laws and requires various regulations,
including:

o    due diligence  requirements  for financial  institutions  that  administer,
     maintain,  or manage private banks accounts or  correspondent  accounts for
     non-US persons

o    standards for verifying customer identification at account opening

o    rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions,  regulators, and
     law  enforcement  entities in  identifying  parties that may be involved in
     terrorism or money laundering

o    reports by  nonfinancial  trades  and  businesses  filed with the  Treasury
     Department's   Financial  Crimes   Enforcement   Network  for  transactions
     exceeding $10,000, and

o    filing of suspicious  activities  reports securities by brokers and dealers
     if they believe a customer may be violating U.S. laws and regulations.

         On July 23, 2002, the Treasury proposed regulations requiring
institutions to incorporate into their written money laundering plans, a board
approved customer identification program implementing reasonable procedures for:

o    verifying  the  identity of any person  seeking to open an account,  to the
     extent reasonable and practicable;

o    maintaining  records  of  the  information  used  to  verify  the  person's
     identity; and

o    determining  whether the person  appears on any list of known or  suspected
     terrorists or terrorist organizations.

         Account is defined as a formal banking or business relationship
established to provide ongoing services, dealings, or other financial
transactions.

Financial Services Modernization Legislation

         General. On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed into law the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the "GLB"). The general effect of the law is to
establish a comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among commercial
banks, insurance companies, securities firms, and other financial service
providers by revising and expanding the Bank Holding Company Act framework to
permit a holding company system to engage in a full range of financial
activities through a new entity known as a "Financial Holding Company."
"Financial activities" is broadly defined to include not only banking,
insurance, and securities activities, but also merchant banking and additional
activities that the Federal Reserve Board, in consultation with the Secretary of
the Treasury, determines to be financial in nature, incidental to such financial
activities, or complementary activities that do not pose a substantial risk to
the safety and soundness of depository institutions or the financial system
generally.

         The GLB provides that no company may acquire control of an insured
savings association unless that company engages, and continues to engage, only
in the financial activities permissible for a Financial Holding Company, unless
grandfathered as a unitary savings and loan holding company. The GLB
grandfathers any company that was a unitary savings and loan holding company on
May 4, 1999 or became a unitary savings and loan holding company pursuant to an
application pending on that date. Such a company may continue to operate under
present law as long as the company continues to meet the two tests: it can
control only one savings institution, excluding supervisory acquisitions, and
each such institution must meet the QTL test. Such a grandfathered unitary
savings and loan holding company also must continue to control at least one
savings association, or a successor institution, that it controlled on May 4,
1999.

         The GLB also permits national banks to engage in expanded activities
through the formation of financial subsidiaries. A national bank may have a
subsidiary engaged in any activity authorized for national banks directly or any
financial activity, except for insurance underwriting, insurance investments,
real estate investment or development, or merchant banking, which may only be
conducted through a subsidiary of a Financial Holding Company. Financial
activities include all activities permitted under new sections of the Bank
Holding Company Act or permitted by regulation.

         While the GLB has not had a material adverse effect on the operations
of Bancorp and the Bank in the near-term, to the extent that the act permits
banks, securities firms, and insurance companies to affiliate, the financial
services industry may experience further consolidation. The GLB is intended to
grant to community banks certain powers as a matter of right that larger
institutions have accumulated on an ad hoc basis and which unitary savings and
loan holding companies already possess. Nevertheless, this act may have the
result of increasing the amount of competition that Bancorp and the Bank face
from larger institutions and other types of companies offering financial
products, many of which may have substantially more financial resources than
Bancorp and the Bank. In addition, because Bancorp may only be acquired by other
unitary savings and loan holding companies or Financial Holding Companies, the
legislation may have an anti-takeover effect by limiting the number of potential
acquirors or by increasing the costs of an acquisition transaction by a bank
holding company that has not made the election to be a Financial Holding Company
under the new legislation.

         Privacy. Under the GLB, federal banking regulators adopted rules that
limit the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose
non-public information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. Pursuant
to these rules, financial institutions must provide:

o    initial notices to customers about their privacy  policies,  describing the
     conditions under which they may disclose nonpublic personal  information to
     nonaffiliated third parties and affiliates;

o    annual notices of their privacy policies to current customers; and

o    a  reasonable   method  for  customers  to  "opt  out"  of  disclosures  to
     nonaffiliated third parties.

         These privacy provisions affect how consumer information is transmitted
through diversified financial companies and conveyed to outside vendors. Since
FSMA's enactment, a number of states have implemented their own versions of
privacy laws. The Bank has implemented its privacy policies in accordance with
the law.

Regulation of the Bank

         General. As a federally chartered, SAIF-insured savings association,
the Bank is subject to extensive regulation by the OTS and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Lending activities and other investments of the
Bank must comply with various statutory and regulatory requirements. The Bank is
also subject to certain reserve requirements promulgated by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve Board").

         The OTS, in conjunction with the FDIC, regularly examines the Bank and
prepares reports for the consideration of the Bank's Board of Directors on any
deficiencies found in the operations of the Bank. The relationship between the
Bank and depositors and borrowers is also regulated by federal and state laws,
especially in such matters as the ownership of savings accounts and the form and
content of mortgage documents utilized by the Bank.

         The Bank must file reports with the OTS and the FDIC concerning its
activities and financial condition, in addition to obtaining regulatory
approvals prior to entering into certain transactions such as mergers with or
acquisitions of other financial institutions. This regulation and supervision
establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution can
engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the SAIF and depositors.
The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive
discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and
examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of
assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory
purposes. Any change in such regulations, whether by the OTS, the FDIC, or the
Congress could have a material adverse impact on Bancorp, the Bank, and their
operations.

Insurance of Deposit Accounts. The SAIF, as administered by the FDIC, insures
the Bank's deposit accounts up to the maximum amount permitted by law. The FDIC
may terminate insurance of deposits upon a finding that the institution: o has
engaged in unsafe or unsound practices; o is in an unsafe or unsound condition
to continue operations; or o has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule,
order or condition imposed by the FDIC or the institution's primary
regulator.

     The FDIC charges an annual assessment for the insurance of deposits based
on the risk a particular institution poses to its deposit insurance fund. Under
this system as of June 30, 2002, SAIF members pay within a range of 0 cents to
27 cents per $100 of domestic deposits, depending upon the institution's risk
classification. This risk classification is based on an institution's capital
group and supervisory subgroup assignment. In addition, all FDIC-insured
institutions were required to pay assessments to the FDIC at an annual rate for
the fourth quarter of 2002 at approximately $0.0170 per $100 of assessable
deposits to fund interest payments on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation
("FICO"), an agency of the Federal government established to recapitalize the
predecessor to the SAIF. These assessments will continue until the FICO bonds
mature in 2017.

         Regulatory Capital Requirements. OTS capital regulations require
savings associations to meet three capital standards:

o    tangible capital equal to 1.5% of total adjusted assets,

o    leverage capital (core capital) equal to 3% of total adjusted assets, and

o    risk-based capital equal to 8.0% of total risk-based assets.

     The Bank must meet each of these standards in order to be deemed in
compliance with OTS capital requirements. In addition, the OTS may require a
savings association to maintain capital above the minimum capital levels.

         These capital requirements are viewed as minimum standards by the OTS,
and most institutions are expected to maintain capital levels well above the
minimum. In addition, the OTS regulations provide that minimum capital levels
higher than those provided in the regulations may be established by the OTS for
individual savings associations, upon a determination that the savings
association's capital is or may become inadequate in view of its circumstances.
The OTS regulations provide that higher individual minimum regulatory capital
requirements may be appropriate in circumstances where, among others:
o        a savings association has a high degree of exposure to interest rate
         risk, prepayment risk, credit risk, concentration of credit risk,
         certain risks arising from nontraditional activities, or similar risks
         or a high proportion of off-balance sheet risk;
o        a savings association is growing, either internally or through
         acquisitions, at such a rate that supervisory problems are presented
         that are not dealt with adequately by OTS regulations; and
o        a savings association may be adversely affected by activities or
         condition of its holding company, affiliates, subsidiaries, or other
         persons, or savings associations with which it has significant business
         relationships.

         The Bank is not subject to any such individual minimum regulatory
capital requirement.

         As shown below, the Bank's regulatory capital exceeded all minimum
regulatory capital requirements applicable to it as of December 31, 2002.

         The Home Owners' Loan Act ("HOLA") permits savings associations not in
compliance with the OTS capital standards to seek an exemption from certain
penalties or sanctions for noncompliance. Such an exemption will be granted only
if certain strict requirements are met, and must be denied under certain
circumstances. If an exemption is granted by the OTS, the savings association
still may be subject to enforcement actions for other violations of law or
unsafe or unsound practices or conditions.

         Predatory Lending. The term "predatory lending," much like the terms
"safety and soundness" and "unfair and deceptive practices," is far-reaching and
covers a potentially broad range of behavior. As such, it does not lend itself
to a concise or a comprehensive definition. But typically predatory lending
involves at least one, and perhaps all three, of the following elements:

o    making  unaffordable  loans based on the assets of the borrower rather than
     on the borrower's ability to repay an obligation ("asset-based lending")

o    inducing a borrower to refinance a loan  repeatedly in order to charge high
     points and fees each time the loan is refinanced ("loan flipping")

o    engaging  in fraud or  deception  to  conceal  the true  nature of the loan
     obligation from an unsuspecting or unsophisticated borrower.

         On October 1, 2002, FRB regulations aimed at curbing such lending
became effective. The rule significantly widens the pool of high-cost
home-secured loans covered by the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of
1994, a federal law that requires extra disclosures and consumer protections to
borrowers. The following triggers coverage under the act:

o    interest  rates for first  lien  mortgage  loans in excess of 8  percentage
     points above comparable Treasury securities,

o    subordinate-lien  loans of 10 percentage points above Treasury  securities.
     and

o    fees such as optional  insurance and similar debt protection  costs paid in
     connection with the credit transaction,  when combined with points and fees
     if deemed excessive.

         In addition, the regulation bars loan flipping by the same lender or
loan servicer within a year. Lenders also will be presumed to have violated the
law -- which says loans shouldn't be made to people unable to repay them --
unless they document that the borrower has the ability to repay. Lenders that
violate the rules face cancellation of loans and penalties equal to the finance
charges paid.

         The Bank is unable at this time to determine the impact of these rule
changes and potential state action in this area on its financial condition or
results of operation.

         Prompt Corrective Action. The prompt corrective action regulation of
the OTS, requires certain mandatory actions and authorizes certain other
discretionary actions to be taken by the OTS against a savings association that
falls within certain undercapitalized capital categories specified in the
regulation.

         The regulation establishes five categories of capital classification:

o        "well capitalized;"
o        "adequately capitalized;"
o        "undercapitalized;"
o        "significantly undercapitalized;" and
o        "critically undercapitalized."

         Under the regulation, the risk-based capital, leverage capital, and
tangible capital ratios are used to determine an institution's capital
classification. At December 31, 2002, the Bank met the capital requirements of a
"well capitalized" institution under applicable OTS regulations.

         In general, the prompt corrective action regulation prohibits an
insured depository institution from declaring any dividends, making any other
capital distribution, or paying a management fee to a controlling person if,
following the distribution or payment, the institution would be within any of
the three undercapitalized categories. In addition, adequately capitalized
institutions may accept Brokered Deposits only with a waiver from the FDIC and
are subject to restrictions on the interest rates that can be paid on such
deposits. Undercapitalized institutions may not accept, renew, or roll-over
Brokered Deposits.

         If the OTS determines that an institution is in an unsafe or unsound
condition, or if the institution is deemed to be engaging in an unsafe and
unsound practice, the OTS may, if the institution is well capitalized,
reclassify it as adequately capitalized; if the institution is adequately
capitalized but not well capitalized, require it to comply with restrictions
applicable to undercapitalized institutions; and, if the institution is
undercapitalized, require it to comply with certain restrictions applicable to
significantly undercapitalized institutions. Finally, pursuant to an interagency
agreement, the FDIC can examine any institution that has a substandard
regulatory examination score or is considered undercapitalized - without the
express permission of the institution's primary regulator.

         Loans-to-One Borrower Limitations. Savings associations generally are
subject to the lending limits applicable to national banks. With certain limited
exceptions, the maximum amount that a savings association or a national bank may
lend to any borrower (including certain related entities of the borrower) at one
time may not exceed 15% of the unimpaired capital and surplus of the
institution, plus an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus for loans
fully secured by readily marketable collateral. Savings associations are
additionally authorized to make loans to one borrower, for any purpose, in an
amount not to exceed $500,000 or, by order of the Director of OTS, in an amount
not to exceed the lesser of $30,000,000 or 30% of unimpaired capital and surplus
to develop residential housing, provided:

o    the purchase price of each  single-family  dwelling in the development does
     not exceed $500,000;
o    the savings  association is in compliance with its fully phased-in  capital
     requirements;
o    the loans comply with applicable loan-to-value requirements; and
o    the  aggregate  amount of loans made under this  authority  does not exceed
     150% of unimpaired capital and surplus.

         At December 31, 2002, the Bank's loans-to-one-borrower limit was
$6,567,000 based upon the 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus measurement. At
December 31, 2002, the Bank's largest single lending relationship had an
outstanding balance of $5,200,000, and consisted of a loan secured by two office
buildings in Reston, Virginia, and was performing in accordance with its terms.

         Qualified Thrift Lender Test. Savings associations must meet a QTL
test, which test may be met either by maintaining a specified level of assets in
qualified thrift investments as specified in HOLA or by meeting the definition
of a "domestic building and loan association" the Code. Qualified thrift
investments are primarily residential mortgages and related investments,
including certain mortgage-related securities. The required percentage of
investments under HOLA is 65% of assets while the Code requires investments of
60% of assets. An association must be in compliance with the QTL test or the
definition of domestic building and loan association on a monthly basis in nine
out of every 12 months. Associations that fail to meet the QTL test will
generally be prohibited from engaging in any activity not permitted for both a
national bank and a savings association. As of December 31, 2002, the Bank was
in compliance with its QTL requirement and met the definition of a domestic
building and loan association.

         Affiliate Transactions. Transactions between a savings association and
its "affiliates" are quantitatively and qualitatively restricted under the
Federal Reserve Act and regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve. Affiliates
of a savings association include, among other entities, the savings
association's holding company and companies that are under common control with
the savings association. In general, a savings association or its subsidiaries
are limited in their ability to engage in "covered transactions" with
affiliates:

o    to an amount equal to 10% of the association's  capital and surplus, in the
     case of covered transactions with any one affiliate; and

o    to an amount equal to 20% of the association's  capital and surplus, in the
     case of covered transactions with all affiliates.

         In addition, a savings association and its subsidiaries may engage in
covered transactions and other specified transactions only on terms and under
circumstances that are substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the
savings association or its subsidiary, as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with nonaffiliated companies. A "covered transaction"
includes: o a loan or extension of credit to an affiliate; o a purchase of
investment securities issued by an affiliate; o a purchase of assets from an
affiliate, with some exceptions; o the acceptance of securities issued by an
affiliate as collateral for a loan or extension of credit to any party; or o the
issuance of a guarantee, acceptance or letter of credit on behalf of an
affiliate.

         In addition, under the OTS regulations:

o    a  savings  association  may not make a loan or  extension  of credit to an
     affiliate  unless the affiliate is engaged only in  activities  permissible
     for bank holding companies;

o    a savings  association  may not  purchase  or invest  in  securities  of an
     affiliate other than shares of a subsidiary;

o    a savings  association and its  subsidiaries may not purchase a low-quality
     asset from an affiliate;

o    covered  transactions  and other specified  transactions  between a savings
     association  or its  subsidiaries  and an  affiliate  must be on terms  and
     conditions that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices; and

o    with  some  exceptions,  each  loan or  extension  of  credit  by a savings
     association  to an affiliate  must be secured by  collateral  with a market
     value ranging from 100% to 130%,  depending on the type of  collateral,  of
     the amount of the loan or extension of credit.

         Regulations generally exclude all non-bank and non-savings association
subsidiaries of savings associations from treatment as affiliates, except for:

o    a financial subsidiary,

o    a subsidiary controlled by one or more affiliates,

o    an ESOP, or

o    a  subsidiary  determined  by  the  OTS  or the  Federal  Reserve  to be an
     affiliate.

         The regulations also require savings associations to make and retain
records that reflect affiliate transactions in reasonable detail and provides
that specified classes of savings associations may be required to give the OTS
prior notice of affiliate transactions.

         Capital Distribution Limitations. OTS regulations impose limitations
upon all capital distributions by savings associations, like cash dividends,
payments to repurchase or otherwise acquire its shares, payments to shareholders
of another institution in a cash-out merger and other distributions charged
against capital. The OTS recently adopted an amendment to these capital
distribution limitations. Under the new rule, a savings association in some
circumstances may:

o    be required to file an  application  and await approval from the OTS before
     it makes a capital distribution;

o    be required to file a notice 30 days before the capital distribution; or

o    be permitted to make the capital distribution without notice or application
     to the OTS.

         The OTS regulations require a savings association to file an
application if:

o    it is not eligible for expedited  treatment of its other applications under
     OTS regulations;

o    the total amount of all of capital  distributions,  including  the proposed
     capital  distribution,  for the  applicable  calendar  year exceeds its net
     income for that year to date plus retained net income for the preceding two
     years;

o    it  would  not  be  at  least  adequately  capitalized,  under  the  prompt
     corrective action regulations of the OTS following the distribution; or

o    the association's proposed capital distribution would violate a prohibition
     contained in any applicable statute,  regulation,  or agreement between the
     savings  association  and the OTS,  or the FDIC,  or  violate  a  condition
     imposed  on the  savings  association  in an  OTS-approved  application  or
     notice.

         In addition, a savings association must give the OTS notice of a
capital distribution if the savings association is not required to file an
application, but:

o    would  not  be  well  capitalized   under  the  prompt   corrective  action
     regulations of the OTS following the distribution;

o    the proposed capital  distribution would reduce the amount of or retire any
     part of the savings  association's  common or preferred stock or retire any
     part of debt  instruments  like notes or  debentures  included  in capital,
     other than regular  payments  required under a debt instrument  approved by
     the OTS; or

o    the savings  association  is a  subsidiary  of a savings  and loan  holding
     company.

         If neither the savings association nor the proposed capital
distribution meets any of the above listed criteria, the OTS does not require
the savings association to submit an application or give notice when making the
proposed capital distribution. The OTS may prohibit a proposed capital
distribution that would otherwise be permitted if the OTS determines that the
distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.

         Community Reinvestment Act and the Fair Lending Laws. Savings
associations have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act and
related regulations of the OTS to help meet the credit needs of their
communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. In addition, the
Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit lenders from
discriminating in their lending practices on the basis of characteristics
specified in those statutes. An institution's failure to comply with the
provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in
regulatory restrictions on its activities and the denial of applications. In
addition, an institution's failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity
Act and the Fair Housing Act could result in the OTS, other federal regulatory
agencies as well as the Department of Justice taking enforcement actions. Based
on an examination conducted November 24, 1997, the Bank received an outstanding
rating.

         Effective January 1, 2002, the OTS raised the dollar amount limit in
the definition of small business loans from $500,000 to $2.0 million, if used
for commercial, corporate, business or agricultural purposes. Furthermore, the
rule raises the aggregate level that a thrift can invest directly in community
development funds, community centers and economic development initiatives in its
communities from the greater of a quarter of one percent of total capital or
$100,000 to one percent of total capital or $250,000.

         Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank is a member of the FHLB system.
Among other benefits, each FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank for its
members within its assigned region. Each FHLB is financed primarily from the
sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB system. Each FHLB makes available
loans or advances to its members in compliance with the policies and procedures
established by the Board of Directors of the individual FHLB. As an FHLB member,
the Bank is required to own capital stock in an FHLB in an amount equal to the
greater of:

o    1% of  its  aggregate  outstanding  principal  amount  of  its  residential
     mortgage  loans,  home purchase  contracts and similar  obligations  at the
     beginning of each calendar year; or

o    5% of its FHLB advances or borrowings.

         At December 31, 2002, the Bank was in compliance with this requirement.

         The GLB Act made significant reforms to the FHLB system, including:

o    Expanded  Membership - (i) expands the uses for,  and types of,  collateral
     for advances;  (ii) eliminates  bias toward QTL lenders;  and (iii) removes
     capital  limits on advances  using real estate  related  collateral  (e.g.,
     commercial real estate and home equity loans).

o    New Capital  Structure - each FHLB is allowed to  establish  two classes of
     stock:  Class A is redeemable  within six months of notice;  and Class B is
     redeemable  within  five years  notice.  Class B is valued at 1.5 times the
     value of Class A stock.  Each FHLB will be  required  to  maintain  minimum
     capital equal to 5% of equity.  As of July 17, 2002,  each FHLB,  including
     our FHLB of Atlanta, received Federal Housing Finance Board approval of its
     capital plan. These plans must be implemented by July 1, 2004.

o    Voluntary  Membership - federally chartered savings  associations,  such as
     the Bank, are no longer required to be members of the system.

o    REFCorp  Payments - changes the amount paid by the system on debt  incurred
     in connection  with the thrift crisis in the late 1980s from a fixed amount
     to 20% of net earnings after deducting certain expenses.

         Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Board requires all
depository institutions to maintain non-interest bearing reserves at specified
levels against their transaction accounts (primarily checking, NOW, and Super
NOW checking accounts) and non-personal time deposits. At December 31, 2002, the
Bank was in compliance with these requirements.

         Activities of Subsidiaries. A savings association seeking to establish
a new subsidiary, acquire control of an existing company or conduct a new
activity through a subsidiary must provide 30 days prior notice to the FDIC and
the OTS and conduct any activities of the subsidiary in compliance with
regulations and orders of the OTS. The OTS has the power to require a savings
association to divest any subsidiary or terminate any activity conducted by a
subsidiary that the OTS determines to pose a serious threat to the financial
safety, soundness or stability of the savings association or to be otherwise
inconsistent with sound banking practices.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Financial Condition

         At December 31, 2002 total assets were $458,415,000 compared to
$366,890,000 at December 31, 2001, which represents an increase of $91,525,000
or 24.9%. The following is a discussion of the significant fluctuations between
the December 31, 2002 and 2001 balance sheets.

Loans

         Loans Held For Sale. At December 31, 2002 loans held for sale was
$17,481,000 compared to $7,499,000 at December 31, 2001. This increase of
$9,982,000 or 133% was caused by an a growth in the loan portfolio that was
intended to be sold to investors due to the high volume of mortgage loans the
Bank has been originating. Historically low interest rates have resulted in
significant loan production by the Bank.

         Loans Receivable. Total net portfolio loans were $401,343,000 at
December 31, 2002, an increase of $66,201,000 or 19.8% from $335,142,000 at
December 31, 2001. The increase in portfolio loans resulted from increases in
loan demand, resulting from historically low interest rates, including permanent
residential mortgage loans, residential construction mortgages and commercial
mortgages.

         Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta Stock. Total Federal Home Loan Bank
of Atlanta stock owned by Bancorp at December 31, 2002 was $1,900,000, which is
$600,000 less, or 24% less, than the $2,500,000 of Federal Home Loan Bank of
Atlanta stock owned as of December 31, 2001. This reduction in Federal Home Loan
Bank of Atlanta stock is a result of the reduction in the amount of Federal Home
Loan Bank advances that the Bank had outstanding as of December 31, 2002
compared to December 31, 2001, as the Bank is obligated to purchase Federal Home
Loan Bank stock based upon the amount outstanding in advances at any given time.

         Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment totaled $4,738,000 at
December 31, 2002 compared to $4,642,000 at December 31, 2001. Although there
was no material change in premises and equipment between December 31, 2002 and
December 31, 2001, it is anticipated that premises and equipment will continue
to increase beginning in 2003 as a result of the intention of HS West, LLC, a
subsidiary of the Bank, to undertake the commencement of construction of an
office building for use by Bancorp and its subsidiaries at West Gate Circle in
Annapolis, Maryland.

Liabilities

         Deposits. Total deposits were $377,925,000 at December 31, 2002
compared to $286,918,000 at December 31, 2001. This represents an increase of
$91,007,000 or 31.7%. The increase in deposits was used to fund loan growth. The
Bank engaged in a strategy to increase its money market accounts, which
increased $71,008,000 to $132,767,000 at December 31, 2002, representing an
increase of 115%. The increase was a result of the continued implementation of a
plan by the Bank to offer attractive rates on its short-term deposits as a match
to its short-term assets, which are primarily in construction mortgage loans.

         FHLB Advances. FHLB advances were $34,000,000 at December 31, 2002
compared to $42,000,000 at December 31, 2001. This decrease of $8,000,000, or
19%, was due to the emphasis on the Bank to rely upon retail deposits to support
the growth of its loan portfolio.

         Stockholders' Equity. Total stockholders' equity was $43,181,000 as of
December 31, 2002, which compared to $34,831,000 as of December 31, 2001. This
is an increase of $8,350,000 or 24%. The increase in stockholders' equity
resulted primarily from net income.

Comparison of Results of Operation for the Years Ended December 31, 2002 and
2001.

         General. Bancorp's net income for the year ended December 31, 2002 was
$8,948,000 or $2.13 per share, diluted, compared to $5,256,000 or $1.37 per
share, diluted, for the year ended December 31, 2001. This increase of
$3,692,000 or 70% was primarily the result of increases in loan origination
volume and the increase in interest income coupled with a reduction in the cost
of deposits and the maintenance of relatively low non-interest expenses.

         Net Interest Income. Net interest income (interest earned net of
interest charges) totaled $19,603,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002, as
compared to $13,395,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001, or an increase of
$6,208,000 or 46.3%. The change was due to the growth in the loan portfolio and
the reduction on the interest on deposits. The net interest margin increased to
4.86% at December 31, 2002 from 4.05% at December 31, 2001. The Bank's net
interest margin increased over the past year because interest rates paid on the
Bank's deposits have fallen faster than the interest rates earned on the Bank's
assets. This is due to the historically low interest rate environment. The cost
of the Bank's liabilities have gone down as a result of the historically low
interest rates and because of the less expensive costs of money market deposits
which the Bank has continued to promote.

         Provision for Loan Losses. Bancorp's loan portfolio is subject to
varying degrees of credit risk and an allowance for loan losses is maintained to
absorb losses inherent in its loan portfolio. Credit risk includes, but is not
limited to, the potential for borrower default and the failure of collateral to
be worth what Bancorp determined it was worth at the time of the granting of the
loan. The Bank monitors its loan portfolio at least as often as quarterly and
its loan delinquencies at least as often as monthly. All loans that are
delinquent and all loans within the various categories of the Bank's portfolio
as a group are tabulated. The Bank's Board, with the advice and recommendation
of the Bank's delinquency committee, estimates an allowance to be set aside for
loan losses. Included in determining the calculation are such factors as the
inherent risk contained within the portfolio after considering the state of the
general economy, economic trends, consideration of particular risks inherent in
different kinds of lending and consideration of known information that may
affect loan collectibility. An increase in the loan loss provision from the
beginning of the period to the end of a period would have come about after an
analysis of the aforementioned factors and applying that rationale to the total
portfolio.

         The greater the construction, commercial and higher loan-to-value loans
that are contained in the portfolio, the greater will be the allowance for loan
losses. Changes in estimation methods may take place based upon the status of
the economy and the estimate of the value of collateral and, as a result, the
allowance may increase or decrease. The Bank believes that some portions of its
loan portfolio have greater actual risk and, in other areas, there is greater
inherent risk. The loan loss allowance has increased when the Board believes
trends are negative and contributions to the allowance have decreased when
trends are more positive. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses
is adequate.

         As of December 31, 2002, the total allowance for loan losses was
$3,991,000 as compared to $3,353,000 as of December 31, 2001, which is an
increase of $638,000 or 19%, as a result of the current year's provision reduced
slightly by a minimal amount of charge offs incurred. During the year ended
December 31, 2002, the provision for loan losses was $670,000 compared to
$709,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. This reduction of $39,000 or
5.5%, was a result of Management's determination that the provision for loan
losses was, more or less, appropriate for the level of inherent risk in its
portfolio as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001.

         Other Income and Non Interest Expense. Gain on sale of loans was
$1,264,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to $983,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2001. This increase of $281,000, or 28.6%, was a result
of an increasing volume of loan originations due to the continued low interest
rate environment that resulted in the continuing refinance of residential
mortgages. If interest rates increase in the future, it is likely that loan
originations will decrease, which will further result in a reduction on the gain
of the sale of loans. There is the potential that loan originations may decrease
as a result of competition, increases in interest rates or a loss of the Bank's
experienced personnel in loan origination. If there is a reduction in loan
originations, that will also cause a reduction in mortgage processing fees.

         Real estate commissions and real estate management fees for the year
ended December 31, 2002 were $1,237,000 and $383,000, respectively, as compared
to December 31, 2001 when real estate commissions and real estate management
fees were $499,000 and $213,000, respectively. These increases aggregating
$908,000 or 128%, resulted in the fact that Bancorp acquired Hyatt Real Estate
in June 2001, so only one half of the year's commissions and fees were earned as
a subsidiary of Bancorp in 2001. Hyatt Real Estate was a wholly owned subsidiary
of Bancorp for all of 2002. There is no assurance that such commissions and fees
will continue to be generated in the future.

         Mortgage processing and servicing fees for the year ended December 31,
2002 were $724,000 compared to $607,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001.
This increase of $117,000 or 19.3% was a result of a growth in the loan
portfolio.

         Compensation and related expenses totaled $6,065,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2002 compared to $4,572,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001,
or an increase of 32.7%. The increase during 2002 was primarily attributable to
the increase in operations in staffing as well as compensation levels at the
Bank generated by a growth in the loan portfolio, and increases in commissions
at Hyatt Real Estate.

         Other non-interest expense totaled $1,883,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2002 compared to $1,520,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 or
an increase of $363,000 or 23.9%. Other non-interest expense consists primarily
of office and computer supplies, mail expenses, telephone and other expenses.
The increase in these expenses during 2002 was also attributable to the increase
in operations caused by a growth in the loan portfolio and expenses related to
the registration of Bancorp's shares with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

         Income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $5,671,000
compared to $3,413,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. This increase of
$2,258,000 or 66.2% was a result of an increase in income before income tax
provision to $14,619,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to
$8,669,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001, being an increase of $5,950,000
or 68.6%. The effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001
were 38.79% and 39.37% respectively.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources. Bancorp's liquidity is determined by
its ability to raise funds through loan payments, maturing investments,
deposits, borrowed funds, capital, or the sale of loans. Based on the internal
and external sources available, Bancorp's liquidity position exceeded
anticipated short-term and long-term needs at December 31, 2002. Core deposits,
considered to be stable funding sources and defined to include all deposits
except time deposits of $100,000 or more, equaled 87% of total deposits at
December 31, 2002. The Bank's experience is that a substantial portion of
certificates of deposit will renew at time of maturity and will remain on
deposit with the bank. Additionally, loan payments, maturities, deposit growth
and earnings contribute a flow of funds available to meet liquidity
requirements.

         In addition to its ability to generate deposits, Bancorp has external
sources of funds which may be drawn upon, when desired. The primary source of
external liquidity is an available line of credit equal to 25% of the Bank's
assets with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. The available line of credit
with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta was $114,000,000 at December 31,
2002, of which $34,000,000 was outstanding at that time.

         In assessing its liquidity the management of Bancorp considers
operating requirements, anticipated deposit flows, expected funding of loans,
deposit maturities and borrowing availability, so that sufficient funds may be
available on short notice to meet obligations as they arise so that Bancorp may
take advantage of business opportunities. As of December 31, 2002 Bancorp had
$24,771,785 outstanding in loan commitments, which Bancorp expects to fund from
the sources of liquidity described above. This amount does not include
undisbursed lines of credit, home equity loans and standby letters of credit, in
the aggregate amount of $37,076,245, which Bancorp anticipates it will be able
to fund, if required, from these liquidity sources in the regular course of
business.

         In addition to the foregoing, the payment of dividends is a use of cash
and the proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants is a source of
cash. Neither of these is expected to have a material effect on liquidity.

         Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2001
and 2000

General.
         Bancorp's net income for the year ended December 31, 2001 was
$5,256,000 or $1.37 per share, diluted, compared to $3,945,000 or $1.12 per
share, diluted, for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase of $1,311,000
or 33.2% was primarily the result of increases in loan origination volume and
the increase in interest income.

         Net Interest Income
         Net interest income (interest earned net of interest charges) totaled
$13,395,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to $10,884,000 for
the year ended December 31, 2000, or an increase of $2,511,000 or 23%. The
change was primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio. The net interest
margin decreased to 4.05% at December 31, 2001 from 4.17% at December 31, 2000.
The Bank's net interest margin has decreased slightly over the last three years
because interest rates earned on the Bank's assets have fallen faster than its
cost of funds. This is due, in part, to the need for the Bank to offer
competitive rates on its loan products. The Bank's liabilities have re-priced
less quickly then its assets because during this period there have been large
amounts of refinancings while the Bank has relied upon fixed term certificates
of deposit to fund its lending activities. The net interest margin has increased
since the end of 2001.

         Provision for Loan Losses
         Bancorp's loan portfolio is subject to varying degrees of credit risk
and an allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb losses inherent in its
loan portfolio. Credit risk includes, but is not limited to, the potential for
borrower default and the failure of collateral to be worth what Bancorp
determined it was worth at the time of the granting of the loan. The Bank
monitors its loan portfolio at least as often as quarterly and its loan
delinquencies at least as often as monthly. All loans that are delinquent and
all loans within the various categories of the Bank's portfolio as a group are
tabulated. The Bank's Board, with the advice and recommendation of the Bank's
delinquency committee, estimates an allowance to be set aside for loan losses.
Included in determining the calculation are such factors as the inherent risk

economy, economic trends, consideration of particular risks inherent in
different kinds of lending and consideration of known information that may

beginning of the period to the end of a period would have come about after an

         The greater the construction, commercial and higher loan-to-value loans
that are contained in the portfolio, the greater will be the allowance for loan
losses. Changes in estimation methods may take place based upon the status of
the economy and the estimate of the value of collateral and, as a result, the
allowance may increase or decrease. The Bank believes that some portions of its
loan portfolio have greater actual risk and, in other areas, there is greater
inherent risk. The loan loss allowance has increased when the Board believes
trends are negative and contributions to the allowance have decreased when
trends are more positive. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses
is adequate.

         During the year ended December 31, 2001, the provision for loan losses
was $709,000 compared to $591,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. This
increase of $118,000 or 19.9%, was a result of increases in loans contained in
the loan portfolio that Management determined contained a greater inherent risk
than in the prior year, and as a result of an increase in nonperforming loans as
of December 31, 2001 compared to December 31, 2000. As of December 31, 2001 the
allowance for loan losses was $3,353,000 compared to $2,728,000 as of December
31, 2000 which is an increase of $625,000 or 22.9%.

         Other Income and Non Interest Expense
         Gain on sale of loans was $983,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001
compared to $610,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase of
$373,000 or 61.1% was a result of increased loan originations primarily from a
lower interest rate environment which resulted in significant residential
mortgage loan refinancings. Should loan originations decrease in the future,
gain on sale of loans will also likely decrease. Loan originations may decrease
as a result of greater competition, increases in general interest rates or a
loss of personnel experienced in loan origination. A reduction in loan
originations will also cause a reduction in mortgage processing fees.

         Real estate commissions and real estate management fees for the year
ended December 31, 2001 were $499,000 and $213,000, respectively. These were
earned as a result of the acquisition of Hyatt Real Estate in 2001.

         Mortgage processing and servicing fees for the year ended December 31,
2001 were $607,000 compared to $384,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000.
This increase of $223,000 or 58.1% was a result of increase in loan
originations.

         Compensation and related expenses totaled $4,572,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2001 compared to $3,552,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000,
or an increase of $1,020,000 or 28.7%. The increase during 2001 was primarily
attributable to the increase in operations and staffing and compensation levels
of the Bank caused by the increase in loan production.

         Other non-interest expense totaled $1,520,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2001 compared to $1,337,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 or
an increase of $183,000 or 13.7%. Other non-interest expense consists primarily
of office and computer supplies, mail expenses, telephone and other expenses.
The increase during 2001 was primarily attributable to the increase in
operations caused by an increase in loan production.

         Income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $3,413,000
compared to $2,439,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. This increase of
$974,000 or 39.9% was a result of an increase in income before income tax
provision to $8,669,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to
$6,384,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000, being an increase of $2,285,000
or 35.8%. The effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000
were 39.37% and 38.2%, respectively.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         Qualitative Information About Market Risk. The principal objective of
Bancorp's interest rate risk management is to evaluate the interest rate risk
included in balance sheet accounts, determine the level of risks appropriate
given Bancorp's business strategy, operating environment, capital and liquidity
requirements and performance objectives, and manage the risk consistent with
Bancorp's interest rate risk management policy. Through this management, Bancorp
seeks to reduce the vulnerability of its operations to changes in interest
rates. The Board of Directors of Bancorp is responsible for reviewing
assets/liability policies and interest rate risk position. The Board of
Directors reviews the interest rate risk position on a quarterly basis. In
connection with this review, the Board of Directors evaluates Bancorp's business
activities and strategies, the effect of those strategies on Bancorp's net
interest margin and the effect that changes in interest rates will have on
Bancorp's loan portfolio. Continuous movement of interest rates is certain,
however, the extent and timing of these movements is not always predictable. Any
movement in interest rates has an effect on Bancorp's profitability. Bancorp
faces the risk that rising interest rates could cause the cost of interest
bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, to rise faster than the
yield on interest earning assets, such as loans and investments. Bancorp's
interest rate spread and interest rate margin may be negatively impacted in a
declining interest rate environment even though Bancorp generally borrows at
short-term interest rates and lends at longer-term interest rates. This is
because loans and other interest earning assets may be prepaid and replaced with
lower yielding assets before the supporting interest bearing liabilities reprice
downward. Bancorp's interest rate margin may also be negatively impacted in a
flat or inverse-yield curve environment. Mortgage origination activity tends to
increase when interest rates trend lower and decrease when interest rates rise.

         Bancorp's primary strategy to control interest rate risk is to sell
substantially all long term fixed rate loans in the secondary market. To further
control interest rate risk related to its loan servicing portfolio, Bancorp
originates a substantial amount of construction loans that typically have terms
of one year or less. The turnover in construction loan portfolio assists Bancorp
in maintaining a reasonable level of interest rate risk.

         Quantitative Information About Market Risk. The primary market risk
facing Bancorp is interest rate risk. From an enterprise prospective, Bancorp
manages this risk by striving to balance its loan origination activities with
the interest rate market. Bancorp attempts to maintain a substantial portion of
its loan portfolio in short-term loans such as construction loans. This has
proven to be an effective hedge against rapid increases in interest rates as the
construction loan portfolio reprices rapidly.

         The matching of maturity or repricing of interest earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which
these assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive and by monitoring the
Bank's interest rate sensitivity gap. An interest earning asset or interest
bearing liability is interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it
will mature or reprice within that time period. The difference between rate
sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities represents the Bank's interest
sensitivity gap.

         Exposure to interest rate risk is actively monitored by Bancorp's
management. Its objective is to maintain a consistent level of profitability
within acceptable risk tolerances across a board range of potential interest
rate environments. Bancorp uses the OTS Net Portfolio Value (NPV) model to
monitor its exposure to interest rate risk, which calculates changes in NPV. The
following table represents Bancorp's NPV at December 31, 2002. The NPV was
calculated by the OTS, based upon information provided to the OTS.

Item 14.  Controls and Procedures

Quarterly evaluation of Bancorp's Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls.
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, Bancorp
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its "disclosure
controls and procedures" ("Disclosure Controls"). This evaluation ("Controls
Evaluation") was done under the supervision and with the participation of
management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial
Officer ("CFO").

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. Bancorp's management, including
the CEO and CFO, does not expect that its Disclosure Controls or its "internal
controls and procedures for financial reporting" ("Internal Controls" ) will
prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived
and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the
objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control
system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the
benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the
inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can
provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if
any, within Bancorp have been detected. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns
can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be
circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more
people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of
controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time,
control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the
inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to
error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Conclusions. Based upon the Controls Evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded
that, subject to the limitations noted above, the Disclosure Controls are
effective to timely alert management to material information relating to Bancorp
during the period when its periodic reports are being prepared.

In accordance with SEC requirements, the CEO and CFO note that, since the date
of the Controls Evaluation to the date of this Annual Report, there have been no
significant changes in Internal Controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect Internal Controls, including any corrective actions with
regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Item 15.  Principal Accounting Fees and Services

    New SEC rules require the following information be set forth in a company's
proxy statement (with such disclosure being incorporated by reference into Part
III of Bancorp's Form 10-K) or separately stated in the Form 10-K if the
definitive proxy statement containing the disclosure is not filed with the SEC
within 120 days of the end of Bancorp's latest fiscal year reported in the Form
10-K: (1) disclosure related to audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and all
other fees for the two most recent fiscal years (additionally, other than for
the audit category, a description in qualitative terms, of the types of services
provided under the remaining three categories); (2) disclosure related to audit
committee's pre-approval policies and procedures and the percentage of services
described in each of the audit-related fees, tax fees and all other fees
categories that were approved by the audit committee. (Additionally, to the
extent that the audit committee has applied the "de minimis" exception, the
issuer must disclose the percentage of total fees paid to the independent
accountant where the "de minimis" exception was used. This information should be
provided by category.); and (3) if greater than 50%, disclosure regarding the
percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant's engagement to audit
the registrant's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were
attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's
full-time, permanent employees. Reference is made to the section captioned
"Relationship with Independent Auditors, Audit Fees" in Bancorp's Proxy
Statement dated March 27, 2003 for the information required by this Item, which
is hereby incorporated by reference.

                        INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Severn Bancorp, Inc.
Annapolis, Maryland

      We have audited the accompanying statements of consolidated financial
condition of Severn Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and
2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended
December 31, 2002. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
      We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement
presentation. We believe that our 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 financial position of Severn
Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the
consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for each of the years in
the three year period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

              A.  Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial
                  statements include the accounts of Severn Bancorp, Inc. ("the
                  Corporation"), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Louis Hyatt,
                  Inc., SBI Mortgage Company and SBI Mortgage Company's
                  subsidiary, Crownsville Development Corporation, and its
                  subsidiary, Crownsville Holdings I, LLC, and Severn Savings
                  Bank, FSB ("the Bank"), and the Bank's subsidiaries,
                  Homeowners Title and Escrow Corporation, Severn Financial
                  Services Corporation, Creekside Commons, LLC, SSB Realty
                  Holdings, LLC, SSB Realty Holdings II, LLC, HS West, LLC and
                  Severn Preferred Capital Corporation ("the Company"). All
                  intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
                  the accompanying financial statements.

                  Severn Preferred Capital Corporation was organized on April
                  29, 1997 and commenced operations of July 22, 1997. The
                  Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust ("REIT")
                  under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

              B.  Business - The Bank's primary business activity is the
                  acceptance of deposits from the general public and the use of
                  the proceeds for investments and loan originations. The Bank
                  is subject to competition from other financial institutions.
                  The Bank is subject to the regulations of certain federal
                  agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those
                  regulatory authorities.

              C.  Basis of Financial Statement Presentation - The consolidated
                  financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
                  accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
                  of America. In preparing the financial statements, management
                  is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
                  reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of
                  the statement of financial condition and revenues and expenses
                  for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from
                  those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly
                  susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to
                  the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the
                  valuation of foreclosed real estate. See Notes H and K below
                  for a discussion of the determination of that estimate.

              D.  Investments Available for Sale - Available for sale securities
                  consisted of an investment in the Putnam GNMA Trust.
                  Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on available
                  for sale securities are reported as a net amount in a separate
                  component of shareholders' equity until realized. Premiums and
                  discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest
                  method over the period to maturity. Gains and losses are
                  determined using the specific identification method.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001


Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

              E.  Investments and Mortgage Backed Securities - Investments and
                  mortgage backed securities 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 interest method over the period to
                  maturity. Gains and losses are determined using the specific
                  identification method.

              F.  Loans Held for Sale - Loans held for sale are carried at lower
                  of cost or market value in the aggregate. Net unrealized
                  losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges
                  to income.

              G.  Loans - Loans are carried at cost since management has the
                  ability and intention to hold them to maturity.

              H.  Allowance for Loan Losses - An allowance for loan losses is
                  provided through charges to income in an amount that
                  management believes will be adequate to absorb losses on
                  existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on
                  evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss
                  experience. The evaluations take into consideration such
                  factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan
                  portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific
                  problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect
                  the borrowers' ability to pay. Determining the amount of the
                  allowance for loan losses requires the use of estimates and
                  assumptions, which is permitted under generally accepted
                  accounting principles. Actual results could differ
                  significantly from those estimates. Management believes the
                  allowance for losses on loans is adequate. While management
                  uses available information to estimate losses on loans, future
                  additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes
                  in economic conditions, particularly in the State of Maryland.
                  In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part
                  of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's
                  allowances for losses on loans. Such agencies may require the
                  Bank to recognize additions to the allowances based on their
                  judgments about information available to them at the time of
                  their examination. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
                  ("SFAS") No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118, addresses the
                  accounting by creditors for impairment of certain loans. It is
                  generally applicable for all loans except large groups of
                  smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively
                  evaluated for impairment, including residential mortgage loans
                  and consumer installment loans. It also applies to all loans
                  that are restructured in a troubled debt restructuring
                  involving a modification

              H.  Allowance for Loan Losses - Continued

                  of terms. SFAS No. 114 requires that impaired loans be
                  measured based on the present value of expected future cash
                  flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or at
                  the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the
                  collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is
                  considered impaired when, based on current information and
                  events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to
                  collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of
                  the loan agreement.

                  Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management
                  believes, after considering economic and business conditions
                  and collection efforts, that the borrower's financial
                  condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.
                  When a payment is received on a loan on non-accrual status,
                  the amount received is allocated to principal and interest in
                  accordance with the contractual terms of the loan.

               I. Loan Origination Fees - Loan origination fees and certain
                  direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over
                  the contractual life of the related loan as an adjustment of
                  yield using the level-yield method.

              J.  Discounts or Premiums - Discounts received or premiums paid in
                  connection with loans purchased, investment and mortgage
                  backed securities are amortized into income over an average
                  loan life using the interest method.

              K.  Foreclosed Real Estate - Real estate acquired through or in
                  the process of foreclosure is recorded at the lower of cost or
                  fair value. Management periodically evaluates the
                  recoverability of the carrying value of the real estate
                  acquired through foreclosure using estimates as described
                  under the caption "Allowance for Loan Losses". In the event of
                  a subsequent decline, management provides an additional
                  allowance, to reduce real estate acquired through foreclosure
                  to fair value less estimated disposal cost. Expenses incurred
                  on foreclosed real estate prior to disposition are charged to
                  expense. Gains on the sale of foreclosed real estate are
                  recognized upon disposition of the property. Sale of the real
                  estate acquired through foreclosure is expected to occur
                  within the next twelve months.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

              L.  Loan Servicing - The cost of mortgage servicing rights is
                  amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated
                  net servicing revenues. Impairment of mortgage servicing
                  rights is assessed based on the fair value of those rights.
                  Fair values are estimated using pricing sheets from
                  correspondent purchasers. For purposes of measuring
                  impairment, the rights are stratified based on the following
                  predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans:
                  fixed rate loans with similar terms (i.e.; fifteen years,
                  twenty years or thirty years amortization) all originated
                  within the same fiscal year. The amount of impairment
                  recognized, if any, is the amount by which the capitalized
                  mortgage servicing rights for a stratum exceed their fair
                  value.

              M.  Premises and Equipment - Premises and equipment are carried at
                  cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and
                  amortization of premises and equipment is accumulated by the
                  use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful
                  lives of the assets. Additions and improvements are
                  capitalized, and charges for repairs and maintenance are
                  expensed when incurred. The related cost and accumulated
                  depreciation are eliminated from the accounts when an asset is
                  sold or retired and the resultant gain or loss is credited or
                  charged to income.

              N.  Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes are recognized for
                  temporary differences between the financial reporting basis
                  and income tax basis of assets and liabilities based on
                  enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts
                  are realized or settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized
                  only to the extent that is more likely than not that such
                  amounts will be realized based on consideration of available
                  evidence. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of
                  a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
                  that includes the enactment date.

              0.  Statement of Cash Flows - In the statement of cash flows, cash
                  and equivalents include cash, Federal Home Loan Bank of
                  Atlanta overnight deposits, federal funds and certificates of
                  deposit with an original maturity date less than ninety days.

              P.  Goodwill - During the year ended December 31, 2001, the
                  Corporation recorded goodwill in the amount of $333,569 as the
                  result of the purchase of Louis Hyatt, Inc. There were no
                  other changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years
                  ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. The Corporation tests
                  the goodwill for impairment in accordance with SFAS 142.

                  average number of diluted shares of common stock. (See Note
                  12) The above amounts have been retroactively adjusted to give
                  effect to a 3-for-1 stock split in the form of a 200% stock
                  dividend. (See Note 11)

                  average  shares  outstanding  for  earnings per share
                  computations. All dividends paid on ESOP shares are charged to
                  retained earnings. (See Note 10)

              S.  Advertising Cost - Advertising cost is expensed as incurred.
                  For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000

                  respectively.

              T.  Reclassification - Certain prior year's amounts have been
                  reclassified to conform to the current year's method of
                  presentation.

              U.  Cash Concentrations - The Bank has a demand deposit account

                   Residential lending is generally considered to involve less
              risk than other forms of lending, although payment experience on
              these loans is dependent to some extent on economic and market
              conditions in the Bank's lending area. Multifamily residential,
              commercial, construction and other loan repayments are generally
              dependent on the operations of the related properties or the
              financial condition of its borrower or guarantor. Accordingly,
              repayment of such loans can be more susceptible to adverse
              conditions in the real estate market and the regional economy.

                  A substantial portion of the Bank's loans receivable are
              mortgage loans secured by residential and commercial real estate
              properties located in the State of Maryland. Loans are extended
              only after evaluation by management of customers' creditworthiness
              and other relevant factors on a case-by-case basis. The Bank
              generally does not lend more than 90% of the appraised value

                   Custodial escrow balances maintained in connection with the

              December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

                   The Bank is a party to financial instruments with
              off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet
              the financial needs of its customers. These financial instruments
              include standby letters of credit, and home equity loans which
              involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of
              the amount recognized in the statement of financial position. The
              contract amounts of these instruments express the extent of
              involvement the Bank has in each class of financial instruments.

Note 4 - Loans Receivable - Continued

                   The Bank's exposure to credit loss from non-performance by
              the other party to the above mentioned financial instruments is
              represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The
              Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and
              conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
              instruments.

                   Unless otherwise noted, the Bank requires collateral or other
              security to support financial instruments with off-balance-sheet
              credit risk.

       repurchase provisions                      $10,162,735    $  4,722,848

                   Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued
              by the Bank guaranteeing performance by a customer to various
              municipalities. These guarantees are issued primarily to support
              performance arrangements, limited to real estate transactions.

                   Home equity loans are loan commitments to individuals as long
              as there is no violation of any condition established in the
              contract. Commitments under home equity lines expire ten years
              after the date the loan closes and are secured by real estate. The
              Bank evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case
              basis.

                   Mortgage loan commitments not reflected in the accompanying
              statements at December 31, 2002 include $22,249,547 at fixed rates
              ranging from 5.00% to 9.375% and $2,522,238 at rates ranging from
              prime to prime plus 1.0%.

                   Lines of credit are loan commitments to individuals and
              companies as long as there is no violation of any condition
              established in the contract. Lines of credit have a fixed
              expiration date. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit
              worthiness on a case-by-case basis.

Note 4 - Loans Receivable - Continued

                   The Bank has entered into several agreements to sell mortgage
              loans to third parties. These agreements contain provisions that
              require the Bank to repurchase a loan if the loan becomes
              delinquent within the terms specified by the agreement.

                   The credit risk involved in these financial instruments is
              essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities
              to customers. No amount has been recognized in the statement of
              financial condition at December 31, 2002, as a liability for
              credit loss.

                   The Bank has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") for

              expense of $140,400, $120,000 and $120,000, respectively.

Note 11- Common and Preferred Stock

                   In 1984, the Bank converted from a state chartered mutual
              savings and loan to a state chartered stock savings and loan
              association. At the time of conversion, the Bank established a
              liquidation account in an amount equal to the Bank's retained
              earnings as of September 30, 1983. The liquidation account is
              maintained for the benefit of eligible savings account holders who
              maintained their savings account in the Bank after conversion. In
              the event of a complete liquidation (and only in such event), each
              eligible savings account holder would be entitled to receive a
              liquidation distribution from the liquidation account in an amount
              equal to the account holder's then interest in the liquidation
              account before any liquidation distribution may be made with
              respect to capital stock. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the
              balance of the liquidation account is included in retained
              earnings.

                   Severn Preferred Capital Corporation issued 200,002 shares of
              preferred stock at $20.00 per share, together with warrants to

                   The shareholders of the Corporation voted to approve an
              amendment to the corporate charter to increase the number of

              dividend, which was effective for shares outstanding as of March
              1, 2002 to be paid March 15, 2002. All per share data in the

  Note 11- Common and Preferred Stock - Continued

                   The Bank's Stock Option Plan ("Plan") provides for the
              granting of options to acquire common stock to directors and key
              employees. Option prices are equal to or greater than fair market
              value of the common stock at the date of the grant. The Bank
              granted options to purchase 156,000 shares. The Plan provides for
              options granted to directors (60,000 shares) to be immediately
              exercisable for a period of five years from the effective date of
              November 25, 1997. Additionally, the Plan provides for one-fifth
              of the remaining options granted to be exercisable on each of the
              first five anniversaries of the effective date. If the participant
              in the Plan terminates employment for reasons other than death or
              disability, he or she forfeits all rights to unvested shares.

                   The following table summarizes the status of and changes in
the Bank's stock option plan.

Note 12- Earnings Per Share

                   Basic EPS is computed based upon income available to common
              shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares
              outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is to reflect the
              potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
              contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into
              common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then
              shared in the earnings of the Company.

Note 13- Retained Earnings

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

Note 13- Retained Earnings - Continued

                   Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure
             capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and
             ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital
             (as defined in the regulations) and risk-weighted assets (as
             defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as
             defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2002, that the
             Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is
             subject.

                   As of December 31, 2002, the most recent notification from
             the Office of Thrift Supervision categorized the Bank as well
             capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
             action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must
             maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I
             leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions
             or events since that notification that management believes have
             changed the Bank's category. The Bank's actual capital amounts and
             ratios are also presented in the table.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001


Note 13- Retained Earnings - Continued

                   The Corporation has no significant source of income other
              than dividends from the Bank. As a result, the Corporation's
              dividends will depend primarily upon receipt of dividends from the
              Bank.

                   OTS regulations limit the payment of dividends and other
              capital distributions by the Bank. The Bank is able to pay
              dividends during a calendar year without regulatory approval to
              the extent of the greater of (i) an amount which will reduce by
              one-half its surplus capital ratio at the beginning of the year
              plus all its net income determined on the basis of generally
              accepted accounting principles for that calendar year or (ii) 75%
              of net income for the last four calendar quarters.

                   The Bank is restricted in paying dividends on its stock to
              the greater of the restrictions described in the preceding
              paragraph, or an amount that would reduce its retained earnings
              below its regulatory capital requirement, the accumulated bad debt
              deduction, or the liquidation account described in Note 11.

                   The Bank was allowed a special bad debt deduction at various
              percentages of otherwise taxable income for various years
              effectively through December 31, 1987. If the amounts which
              qualified as deductions for federal income tax purposes prior to
              December 31, 1987 are later used for purposes other than to absorb
              loan losses, including distributions in liquidations, they will be
              subject to federal income tax at the then current corporate rate.

Note 15- Related Party Transactions

                   During the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the
              Bank engaged in the transactions described below with parties that
              may be deemed affiliated.

                   The land and building for the office where the Bank's primary
              operating activities are conducted were leased from a stockholder
              of the Bank. Rent paid on this property was $ -0-, $32,012 and
              $61,157 for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Additionally, two
              subsidiaries rent property from a director of the Bank. Rent paid
              on these properties was $38,562, $32,010 and $25,170 for 2002,
              2001 and 2000, respectively.

                   A director of the Bank is a member of a law firm that
              represents the Bank in certain legal matters. The fees for
              services rendered by that firm were $161,890, $80,866 and $68,852
              for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
              respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 15- Related Party Transactions - Continued

                   A subsidiary uses a related party to perform maintenance work
              on managed properties. The fees for services rendered by that firm
              were $12,300 and $9,137 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and
              December 31, 2001, respectively. The subsidiary was not part of
              the Corporation during the year ended December 31, 2000.

                   The Bank has participation and loan servicing agreements
              outstanding, totaling $218,871, $263,823 and $276,856 at December
              31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, with various stockholders
              and related parties.

                   In June,  2001 the Corporation  purchased  Louis Hyatt,  Inc.
             (see Note 17) from Louis Hyatt who is a stockholder of
              the Corporation and a relative of the Chairman of the Board.

                   The Corporation purchased HS West, LLC from Louis Hyatt who
              is a stockholder of the Corporation and a relative of the Chairman
              of the Board. HS West, LLC had no income or expenses and consisted
              only of land.

                   Management believes that the terms in the above mentioned
              transactions were no less favorable to the Bank than the terms
              that would have been obtained in transactions with non-affiliated
              persons or entities.

Note 16- Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

                   The estimated fair values of the Bank's financial instruments
              are summarized below. The fair values of a significant portion of
              these financial instruments are estimates derived using present
              value techniques prescribed by the FASB and may not be indicative
              of the net realizable or liquidation values. Also, the calculation
              of estimated fair values is based on market conditions at a
              specific point in time and may not reflect current or future fair
              values.

                   The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value
              for cash, federal funds and interest-bearing deposits in other
              banks due to the short-term nature of these investments. Fair
              value is based upon market prices quoted by dealers for investment
              securities and estimates using bid prices published in financial
              newspapers for mortgage backed securities. The carrying amount of
              Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta stock is a reasonable estimate
              of fair value. Loans receivable were discounted using a single
              discount rate, comparing the current rates at which similar loans
              would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the
              same remaining maturities.

Note 16- Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Continued

              These rates were used for each aggregated category of loans as
              reported on the Office of Thrift Supervision Quarterly Report. The
              fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and money market
              deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.
              The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is
              estimated using the rates currently offered on deposits of similar
              remaining maturities.

                   The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance
              sheet risk in the normal course of business, including loan
              commitments. The loan commitments were a blended rate based on the
              relative risk of the properties involved and the lines of credit
              are at adjustable rates.

                   The estimated fair values of the Bank's financial instruments
are as follows:

Note 17- Merger

                  On July 1, 2001, the Corporation acquired Louis Hyatt, Inc.
              ("LHI") a real estate sales and management company (see Note 15).
              "LHI" was 100% owned by Louis Hyatt. The Corporation issued 60,000
              shares new shares and transferred 20,000 shares that were
              previously owned by "LHI" for all the outstanding stock of "LHI".

                  The combination was accounted for under the purchase method of
              accounting, and accordingly, the net assets were recorded at their
              estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. "LHI's" assets
              consisted primarily of fixed assets and, accordingly, the fair
              market value adjustment of $1,415,829 will be depreciated over the
              estimated lives of the assets. The excess of the purchase price
              over the estimated fair value of the underlying net assets of
              $333,569 was allocated to goodwill.

                  Unaudited proforma condensed financial statements are not
              presented because the amounts are not material to the consolidated

Note 19- Recent Accounting Pronouncements

                  In April 2002, FASB issued SFAS 145, "Rescission of FASB
              Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13,
              and Technical Corrections". This Statement requires, among other
              things, that gains and losses on the early extinguishment of debt
              be classified as extraordinary only if they meet the criteria for
              extraordinary treatment set forth in Accounting Principles Board
              Opinion No. 30. The provisions of this Statement related to
              classification of gains and losses on the early extinguishment of
              debt are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002.

                  In June 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
              Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". This Statement
              requires recording costs associated with exit or disposal
              activities at their fair values when a liability has been
              incurred. Under previous guidance, certain exit costs were accrued
              upon management's commitment to an exit plan, which is generally
              before an actual liability has been incurred. The provisions of
              this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that
              are initiated after December 31, 2002.

                  In October 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of
              Certain Financial Institutions" an amendment of FASB Statements
              No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9. The provision of
              this Statement requires long-term customer-relationship intangible
              assets of financial institutions such as depositor - and borrower
              - relationship intangible assets and credit cardholder intangible
              assets to be subject to the same undiscounted cash flow
              recoverability test and impairment loss recognition and
              measurement provisions that Statement 144 requires for other
              long-lived assets that are held and used.

                  In November, 2002, FASB issued Interpretation No. 45
              "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for
              Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of
              Others" an Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107
              and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. This Interpretation
              elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its
              financial statements about its obligations under certain
              guarantees that it has issued. The Interpretation also clarifies
              that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a
              guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation
              undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The provisions for this
              Interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees
              issued or modified after December 31, 2002.

Note 19- Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Continued

                  In December 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 148 "Accounting  for
              Stock-Based  Compensation - Transition and  Disclosure."
              This  Statement  amends  SFAS No.  123  "Accounting  for  Stock-
              Based  Compensation"  to provide  alternative  methods of
              transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair
              value based method of accounting for stock-based  employee
              compensation.  In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure
              provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure
              about the effects on reported net income of an entity's accounting
              policy decisions with respect to stock-based  employee
              compensation.  Finally, SFAS No. 148 amends APB Opinion No. 28,
              "Interim Financial Reporting" to require disclosure about
              those effects in interim financial information.

                   These statements will not have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
