Note 3 - Earnings Per Share

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

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

The Company

Severn Bancorp, Inc. ("Bancorp") is a savings and loan holding company
charted in the state of Maryland in 1990. It conducts business through three
subsidiaries: Severn Savings Bank, FSB (the "Bank"), its principal subsidiary;
Louis Hyatt, Inc. t/a Hyatt Real Estate, a real estate brokerage and property
management company, which Bancorp acquired in June 2001; and SBI Mortgage
Company, which engages in the origination of mortgages not suitable to the Bank.
The Bank has two branches in Anne Arundel County, Maryland which offer a full
range of deposit products, and the Bank originates mortgages in its primary
market of Anne Arundel County, Maryland and, to a lesser extent, in other parts
of Maryland, Delaware and Northern Virginia. In June 2002, the Company was
accepted for listing on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, and now trades under the
symbol "SVBI".

Forward Looking Statements

In addition to the historical information contained herein, the
following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Bancorp operations and actual results could differ significantly
from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that
could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to,
changes in the economy and interest rates in the nation and Bancorp's general
market area. The forward-looking statements contained herein include, but are
not limited to, those with respect to management's determination of the amount
of loan loss allowance; the effect of changes in interest rates; and changes in
deposit insurance premiums.

Results of Operations

Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2002 was $2,177,541,
or diluted earnings per share of $.51 as compared to $1,177,800 in the second
quarter of 2001, or diluted earnings per share of $.32. This represents an
increase of $999,741, or 85% compared to the second quarter of 2001. Earnings
per share increased $.19, or 59% during that same period. The six month year to
date net income was $4,073,540, or $.96 diluted earnings per share, compared to
$2,225,026, or $.64 diluted earnings per share for the six month period that
ended June 30, 2001. The increase was $1,848,514, and the increase of diluted
earnings per share was $.32. This represents an increase in year to date net
income between June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 of 83% or a 50% increase in
diluted earnings per share. The substantial increase in net income resulted from
the continuing low interest rate environment, which has reduced Bancorp's cost
of funds, along with the continuation of a high volume of mortgage loan
origination.

Net interest income, which is interest earned net of interest charges,
totaled $4,817,439 for the second quarter, and $9,030,042 for the six month
period ended June 30, 2002, compared to $3,175,855 for the second quarter of
2001 and $6,138,980 for the six month period ended June 30, 2001. This
represents an increase of $1,641,584, or 52%, compared to the second quarter of
2001, and an increase of $2,891,062 or 47% for June 30, 2002 year to date
compared to June 30, 2001. This increase resulted from the continuing growth of
the Company's mortgage loan portfolio, and the reduction of the cost of deposits
and borrowings, continuing to improve Bancorp's net interest margin.

Loan loss provisions were $135,000 in the second quarter, and $240,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to $248,860 for the second
quarter of 2001, and $433,860 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The
reduction in the contribution to loan loss provisions was $113,860, or 46% in
comparison with the second quarter of 2002 to the second quarter of 2001, and
$193,860, or 45%, comparing the six months ended June 30, 2002 to the six months
ended June 30, 2001. The reduction of the contribution to the loan loss
provision resulted in management's analysis that the contribution and the total
loan loss provision was adequate in light of Bancorp's portfolio, the analysis
of the general economy and other factors that Bancorp's management deemed
appropriate.

Net other income was $894,455 for the second quarter, as compared to
$482,482 for the second quarter of 2001, with six month year to date net other
income being $1,761,761, compared to $834,160 for the six months ended June 30,
2001. This represents increases of $411,973, or 85%, comparing each second
quarter, and $927,601, or 111%, comparing the six month periods ended June 30,
2002 to June 30, 2001. The increase in other income included year to date real
estate commissions of $439,385, and management fees of $172,036, earned by Hyatt
Real Estate, a subsidiary of Bancorp, that was acquired in June 2001. Gain on
sale of loans increased from $347,811 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to
$603,136 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, which is an increase of
$255,325, or 73%. This result was due to a significant increase in the volume of
loan originations that were sold in the secondary market by the Bank.

Total non-interest expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were
$3,877,108 compared to $2,912,834 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Second
quarter 2002 non-interest expense were $1,994,705 compared to $1,490,013 for the
second quarter of 2001. This was an increase in year to date non-interest
expense of $964,274, or 33%, and an increase between the second quarter of 2002
and the second quarter of 2001 of $504,692, or 34%. The growth in this expense
resulted primarily from increase in compensation and related expenses, which
increased $359,808 between the second quarter of 2002 and the second quarter of
2001, and by $706,798, or 36%, for the six month period ending June 30, 2002
compared to the same period ended June 30, 2001. The increase in compensation
and related expenses is directly related to the high volume of mortgage loan
originations during this period. Mortgage loan officers are compensated in the
form of commissions, based upon loans originated, and as a result, as mortgage
originations increase the commissions earned by loan officers also increase.
Other expenses also increased from $384,232 to $519,595 from second quarter 2001
to second quarter of 2002, and from $716,684 to $954,380 for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002. That was an
increase of $135,363, or 35%, during the second quarter, and a six month year to
date increase of $237,696 or 33%, compared to the six months ended June 30,
2001. The increase in other expenses was related to increased mortgage
origination activity as well as the operating expenses of Hyatt Real Estate.
Additionally, this increase includes expenses of the preparation and filing of
Bancorp's Form 10 Registration Statement filed with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission on or about April 15, 2002. Such expenses include, but
are not limited to, legal and accounting fees.






Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $1,404,558 for the second quarter of 2002, and
$2,602,555 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to $741,664 for
the second quarter of 2001, and $1,401,420 for the six months ended June 30,
2001. This was an increase of $662,894, or 89% between the second quarter of
2002 and the second quarter of 2001, and an increase of $1,201,135 or 86%,
between the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001. The
effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2002 and 2001 was 39.21% and
38.64%, respectively, and for the six month year to date 2002 and 2001, it was
38.98% and 38.64%, respectively.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Total assets at June 30, 2002 increased to $406,746,005 from
$366,890,087 at December 2001. representing an increase of $39,855,918 or 11%.
Continued mortgage origination activity resulted in net loans receivable
increasing to $375,386,269 as of June 30, 2002 from $335,142,276 as of December
31, 2001 representing an increase of $40,243,993 or 12%. Total deposits as of
June 30, 2002 increased to $330,069,581 from $286,917,568 as of December 31,
2001 which represents an increase of $43,152,013 or 15%. This increase is
primarily attributable to an ongoing campaign by the Bank to attract money
market deposit accounts. The influx of retail deposits fulfilled the Bank's
liquidity needs to fund this period's loan originations and allowed the Bank to
reduce FHLB borrowings. Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances decreased by
$7,000,000, or 17%, from $42,000,000 as of December 31, 2001 to $35,000,000 as
of June 30, 2002. This decrease is a result of the ability to rely upon retail
deposits during this period.

Stockholders Equity

Total stockholders equity was $38,527,165 as of June 30, 2002 compared
to $34,830,882 as of December 31, 2001, or an increase of $3,696,283 or 11%.
This increase resulted from the current six month period net earnings, offset
slightly by common and preferred stock dividends.

Asset Quality

Non-accrual loans (those loans 90 or more days in arrears) were
$382,395 as of June 30, 2002 compared to $2,101,072 as of December 31, 2001. At
June 30, 2002 the total allowance for loan losses was $3,593,374, which is .96%
of total loans, compared with $3,353,375, which was .99% of total loans as of
December 31, 2001. The adequacy of the allowance is monitored monthly. Bancorp's
management believes the allowance is adequate as of June 30, 2002.

Liquidity

Bancorp's liquidity is determined by its ability to raise funds through
loan payments, maturing investments, deposits, borrowed funds, capital, or the
sale of loans. Based on the internal and external sources available, Bancorp's
liquidity position exceeded anticipated short-term and long-term needs at June
30, 2002. Additionally, loan payments, maturities, deposit growth and earnings
contribute a flow of funds available to meet liquidity requirements.

In assessing its liquidity the management of Bancorp considers
operating requirements, anticipated deposit flows, expected funding of loans,
deposit maturities and borrowing availability, so that sufficient funds may be
available on short notice to meet obligations as they arise so that Bancorp may
take advantage of business opportunities.

Management believes it has ample cash flow and liquidity to meet its
current commitments. Certificates of deposit, which are scheduled to mature in
less than one year at June 30, 2002 totaled $114,146,807. Based on past
experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will
remain with the Bank. At June 30, 2002, Bancorp had commitments to originate
loans of $787,738, unused lines of credit of $21,209,893, and commitments under
standby letters of credit of $4,487,881. The Bank has the ability to reduce its
commitments for new loan originations, adjust other cash outflows, and borrow
from the FHLB of Atlanta should the need arise. As of June 30, 2002, outstanding
FHLB borrowings totaled $35,000,000, and the Bank had available to it up to an
additional $66,000,000 in borrowing availability from the FHLB of Atlanta.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $6,402,355 for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 compared to net cash used by operating activities of
$2,614,043 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Net cash used by investing
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $43,268,174 compared to
$32,349,785 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, which is an increase of
$10,918,389. Net cash provided by financing activities was $35,756,799 for the
six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $47,677,194 for the six months
ended June 30, 2001, which is a decrease of $11,920,395. As a result, cash and
cash equivalents were $4,929,439 as of June 30, 2002 which was a decrease of
$8,791,014 as compared to $13,720,453 as of June 30, 2001 . During the current
six month period cash provided by increased deposits was offset by cash used for
strong loan origination activity and repayment of $7,000,000 in borrowed funds.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2001, the Bank supplemented the cash
provided by incoming deposits by borrowing 16,000,000 from the FHLB. The
proceeds from those sources were invested by the bank primarily in loan
originations.

Effects of Inflation

The Consolidated Financial Statements and related consolidated
financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and practices
within the banking industry which require the measurement of financial condition
and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering the
changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of
a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have
a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than the
effects of general levels of inflation.
