PART I
Item 1.   Business
Business of Old Line Bancshares, Inc.
     Old Line Bancshares, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on April 11, 2003 to serve as the holding company of Old Line Bank. The primary business of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. is to own all of the capital stock of Old Line Bank.
     On May 22, 2003, the stockholders of Old Line Bank approved the reorganization of Old Line Bank into a holding company structure. The reorganization became effective on September 15, 2003. In connection with the reorganization, (i) Old Line Bank became our wholly-owned subsidiary and (ii) each outstanding share (or fraction thereof) of Old Line Bank common stock was converted into one share (or fraction thereof) of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. common stock, and the former holders of Old Line Bank common stock became the holders of all our outstanding shares.
     Our primary business is to own all of the capital stock of Old Line Bank. We also have an approximately $1.2 million investment in a real estate investment limited liability company named Pointer Ridge Office Investment, LLC (“Pointer Ridge”). We own 62.50% of Pointer Ridge.
Business of Old Line Bank
General
     Old Line Bank is a trust company chartered under Subtitle 2 of Title 3 of the Financial Institutions Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland. Old Line Bank was originally chartered in 1989 as a national bank under the title “Old Line National Bank.” In June 2002, Old Line Bank converted to a Maryland-chartered trust company exercising the powers of a commercial bank, and received a Certificate of Authority to do business from the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation.
     Old Line Bank converted from a national bank to a Maryland-chartered trust company to reduce certain federal, supervisory and application fees that were then applicable to Old Line National Bank and to have a local primary regulator. Prior to the conversion, Old Line Bank’s primary regulator was the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Currently, Old Line Bank’s primary regulator is the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation.
     Old Line Bank does not exercise trust powers and its regulatory structure is the same as a Maryland chartered commercial bank. Old Line Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures our deposits.
     We are headquartered in Bowie, Maryland, approximately 10 miles east of Andrews Air Force Base and 20 miles east of Washington, D.C. We engage in a general commercial banking business, making various types of loans and accepting deposits. We market our financial services to small to medium sized businesses, entrepreneurs, professionals, consumers and high net worth clients. Our current primary market area is the suburban Maryland (Washington, D.C. suburbs) counties of Prince George’s, Charles, Anne Arundel and northern St. Mary’s. We also target customers throughout the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Our branch offices generally operate six days per week from 8:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. on weekdays and from 8:00 a.m. until noon on Saturday. None of our branch offices are open on Sunday.

     Our principal source of revenue is interest income and fees generated by lending and investing funds on deposit. We typically balance the loan and investment portfolio towards loans. Generally speaking, loans earn more attractive returns than investments and are a key source of product cross sales and customer referrals. Our loan and investment strategies balance the need to maintain adequate liquidity via excess cash or federal funds sold with opportunities to leverage our capital appropriately.
     We have based our strategic plan on the premise of enhancing stockholder value and growth through branching and operating profits. Our short-term goals include maintaining credit quality, creating an attractive branch network, expanding fee income, generating extensions of core banking services and using technology to maximize stockholder value.
Recent Business Developments
     Branch Expansion Developments
     In 2009, we substantially completed our branch expansion efforts with the opening of two new branch locations. On July 1, 2009, we opened a branch at 1641 State Route 3 North, Crofton, Maryland in Anne Arundel County. We had initially executed a lease and applied to regulatory authorities to open this branch in 2004, but its construction was delayed due to engineering and permit delays. During July and August 2009, we hired the staff for this location.
     In October 2009, we opened an additional branch in the Fairwood Office Park located at 12100 Annapolis Road, Suite 1, Glen Dale, Maryland. We hired the staff for this location during the third quarter of 2009.
     In the fourth quarter of 2009, we moved our Greenbelt (Prince George’s County) Maryland branch that was opened in June 2007 on the 1st floor of an office building to a free standing building at the southwest corner of the intersection of Kenilworth Avenue and Ivy Lane, Greenbelt, Maryland. In April 2007, we hired the Branch Manager for this location and hired the remainder of the staff in May and September of 2007.
     Expansion of Commercial, Construction and Commercial Real Estate Lending
     In December 2009, we added a team of four experienced, highly skilled loan officers to our staff. These officers have a combined 50 years of commercial banking experience and were employed by a large regional bank with offices in the suburban Maryland market prior to joining us. These individuals have worked in our market area for many years, have worked together as a team for several years and have a history of successfully generating a high volume of commercial, construction and commercial real estate loans. This team operates from our Greenbelt, Maryland branch location.
     We anticipate the addition of these individuals and our new branches will cause an increase in non-interest expenses in 2010. We also expect that as a result of the addition of these individuals and branches, the bank will experience an increased level of loan and deposit growth in 2010 and beyond that will provide increased interest income that exceeds their non-interest expenses.

     Sale and Repurchase of Preferred Stock to the U.S. Treasury
     On December 5, 2008, we issued $7 million of our Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 141,892 shares of our common stock at $7.40 per share to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“U.S. Treasury”) pursuant to the Capital Purchase Program under the Troubled Asset Relief Program implemented pursuant to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. Please see “-Supervision and Regulation-The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008” for additional information.
     On July 15, 2009, we paid the U.S. Treasury $7,058,333 to repurchase the preferred stock outlined above. The amount paid included the liquidation value of the preferred stock and $58,333 of accrued but unpaid dividends. We have also repurchased at a fair market value of $225,000 the warrant to purchase 141,892 shares of our common stock that was issued to the U.S. Treasury in conjunction with the issuance of the preferred stock.
Location and Market Area
     We consider our current primary market area to consist of the suburban Maryland (Washington, D.C. suburbs) counties of Prince George’s, Anne Arundel, Charles and northern St. Mary’s. The economy in our current primary market area has focused on real estate development, high technology, retail and the government sector.
     Our headquarters and a branch are located at 1525 Pointer Ridge Place, Bowie, Prince George’s County, Maryland. A critical component of our strategic plan and future growth is Prince George’s County. Prince George’s County wraps around the eastern boundary of Washington, D.C. and offers urban, suburban and rural settings for employers and residents. There are several national and international airports less than an hour away, as is Baltimore. We currently have six branch locations in Prince George’s County including our new Fairwood Office Park branch that opened in October 2009.
     Two of our branch offices are located in Waldorf, Maryland in Charles County. Just 15 miles south of the Washington Capital Beltway, Charles County is the gateway to Southern Maryland. The northern part of Charles County is the “development district” where the commercial, residential and business growth is focused. Waldorf, White Plains and the planned community of St. Charles are located here.
     Two of our branch offices are located in Anne Arundel County, one in Annapolis that we opened in September 2008 and our new branch that we opened in Crofton in July 2009. Anne Arundel County borders the Chesapeake Bay and is situated in the high-tech corridor between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. With over 534 miles of shoreline, it provides waterfront living to many residential communities. Annapolis, the State Capital and home to the United States Naval Academy, and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshal Airport (BWI) are located in Anne Arundel County. Anne Arundel County has one of the strongest economies in the State of Maryland and its unemployment rate is consistently below the national average.
Lending Activities
     General. Our primary market focus is on making loans to small and medium size businesses, entrepreneurs, professionals, consumers and high net worth clients in our primary market area. Our lending activities consist generally of short to medium term commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans, real estate construction loans, home equity loans and consumer installment loans, both secured and unsecured. As a niche-lending product, we have provided luxury boat financing to individuals, who generally tend to be high net worth individuals. These boats are generally Coast Guard documented and have a homeport of record in the Chesapeake Bay or its tributaries.

     Credit Policies and Administration. We have adopted a comprehensive lending policy, which includes stringent underwriting standards for all types of loans. Our lending staff follows pricing guidelines established periodically by our management team. In an effort to manage risk, prior to funding, the loan committee consisting of the President, Chief Credit Officer, Chief Lending Officer and six members of the Board of Directors must approve by a majority vote all credit decisions in excess of a lending officer’s lending authority. Management believes that it employs experienced lending officers, secures appropriate collateral and carefully monitors the financial condition of its borrowers and the concentrations of loans in the portfolio.
     In addition to the normal repayment risks, all loans in the portfolio are subject to the state of the economy and the related effects on the borrower and/or the real estate market. With the exception of loans provided to finance luxury boats, generally longer-term loans have periodic interest rate adjustments and/or call provisions. Senior management monitors the loan portfolio closely to ensure that we minimize past due loans and that we swiftly deal with potential problem loans.
     In addition to the internal business processes employed in the credit administration area, Old Line Bank retains an outside, independent credit review firm to review the loan portfolio. This firm performs a detailed annual review and an interim update at least once a year. We use the results of the firm’s report to validate our internal loan ratings and we review their commentary on specific loans and on our loan administration activities in order to improve our operations.
     Commercial Business Lending. Our commercial business lending consists of lines of credit, revolving credit facilities, accounts receivable financing, term loans, equipment loans, SBA loans, stand-by letters of credit and unsecured loans. We originate commercial loans for any business purpose including the financing of leasehold improvements and equipment, the carrying of accounts receivable, general working capital, contract administration and acquisition activities. We have a diverse client base and we do not have a concentration of these types of loans in any specific industry segment. We generally secure commercial business loans with accounts receivable, equipment, deeds of trust and other collateral such as marketable securities, cash value of life insurance, and time deposits at Old Line Bank.
     Commercial business loans have a higher degree of risk than residential mortgage loans because the availability of funds for repayment generally depends on the success of the business. They may also involve higher average balances, increased difficulty monitoring and a higher risk of default since their repayment generally depends on the successful operation of the borrower’s business. To help manage this risk, we typically limit these loans to proven businesses and we generally obtain appropriate collateral and personal guarantees from the borrower’s principal owners and monitor the financial condition of the business. For loans in excess of $250,000, monitoring usually includes a review of the borrower’s annual tax returns and updated financial statements.
     Commercial Real Estate Lending. We finance commercial real estate for our clients, usually for owner occupied properties. We generally will finance owner-occupied commercial real estate at a maximum loan–to-value of 85%. Our underwriting policies and processes focus on the clients’ ability to repay the loan as well as an assessment of the underlying real estate. We originate commercial real estate loans on a fixed rate or adjustable rate basis. Usually, these rates adjust during a three, five or seven year time period based on the then current treasury or prime rate index. Repayment terms include amortization schedules from three years to a maximum of 25 years with principal and interest payments due monthly and with all remaining principal due at maturity.
     Commercial real estate lending entails significant additional risks as compared with residential mortgage lending. Risks inherent in managing a commercial real estate portfolio relate to sudden or gradual drops in property values as well as changes in the economic climate that may detrimentally impact the borrower’s ability to repay. We attempt to mitigate these risks by carefully underwriting these loans. Our underwriting generally includes an analysis of the borrower’s capacity to repay, the current collateral value, a cash flow analysis and review of the character of the borrower and current and prospective conditions in the market. We generally limit loans in this category to 75%-80% of the value of the property and require personal and/or corporate guarantees. For loans of this type in excess of $250,000, we monitor the financial condition and operating performance of the borrower through a review of annual tax returns and updated financial statements. In addition, we will meet with the borrower and/or perform site visits as required.

     Real Estate Construction Lending. This segment of our loan portfolio consists of funds advanced for construction of single family residences, multi-family housing and commercial buildings. These loans have short durations, meaning maturities typically of nine months or less. Residential houses, multi-family dwellings and commercial buildings under construction and the underlying land for which the loan was obtained secure the construction loans. All of these loans are concentrated in our primary market area.
     Construction lending entails significant risks compared with residential mortgage lending. These risks involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers with funds advanced upon the security of the land or the project under construction. The value of the project is estimated prior to the completion of construction. Thus, it is more difficult to evaluate accurately the total loan funds required to complete a project and related loan-to-value ratios. To mitigate these risks, we generally limit loan amounts to 80% of appraised values and obtain first lien positions on the property. We generally only offer real estate construction financing to experienced builders and commercial entities or individuals who have demonstrated the ability to obtain a permanent loan “take-out.” We also perform a complete analysis of the borrower and the project under construction. This analysis includes a review of the cost to construct, the borrower’s ability to obtain a permanent “take out,” the cash flow available to support the debt payments and construction costs in excess of loan proceeds, and the value of the collateral. During construction, we advance funds on these loans on a percentage of completion basis. We inspect each project as needed prior to advancing funds during the term of the construction loan.
     Residential Real Estate Lending. We offer a variety of consumer-oriented residential real estate loans. The bulk of our portfolio is made up of home equity loans to individuals with a loan to value not exceeding 85%. We also offer fixed rate home improvement loans. Our home equity and home improvement loan portfolio gives us a diverse client base. Although most of these loans are in our primary market area, the diversity of the individual loans in the portfolio reduces our potential risk. Usually, we secure our home equity loans and lines of credit with a security interest in the borrower’s primary or secondary residence. Our initial underwriting includes an analysis of the borrower’s debt/income ratio which generally may not exceed 40%, collateral value, length of employment and prior credit history. We do not have any sub-prime residential real estate loans.
     Consumer Installment Lending
     Luxury Boat Loans. We offer various types of secured and unsecured consumer loans. Prior to 2008, a primary aspect of our consumer lending was financing for luxury boat purchases. Although we continue to maintain a portfolio comprised of these loans ($13.1 million or 89.73% of the consumer loans, excluding consumer real estate, and 4.91% of gross loans at December 31, 2009) and would consider making such loans in the future if borrowers were to apply for them, we have not originated any substantive new marine loans since the third quarter of 2007. Our average loan in the luxury boat loan category is approximately $150,000, with a 15 year term and a fixed interest rate. Historically, our internal analysis and industry statistics indicated that the average life of these loans was approximately 42 months as the purchaser either traded or sold the vessel. We believe that the current economic turmoil has extended the average life of these loans as borrowers are not trading their boats for new ones or able to sell the boat (and pay off the related loan) when they desire to do so. These loans entail greater risks than residential mortgage lending because the boats that secure these loans are depreciable assets. Further, payment on these loans depends on the borrower’s continuing financial stability. Job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy may adversely impact the borrower’s ability to pay. To mitigate these risks, we have more stringent underwriting standards for these loans than for other installment loans. As a general guideline, the individuals’ debt service should not exceed 36% of their gross income, they must own their home, have stability of employment and residency, verifiable liquidity, satisfactory prior credit repayment history and the loan to value ratio may not exceed 85%. To ascertain value, we generally receive a survey of the boat from a qualified surveyor and/or a current purchase agreement and compare the determined value to published industry values. The majority of these boats are United States Coast Guard documented vessels and we obtain a lien on the vessel with a first preferred ship mortgage, where applicable, or a security interest on the title. As a result of these stringent guidelines, this segment of our portfolio has experienced minimal delinquency. Since inception of the portfolio in 1997, only five accounts have experienced 30-day delinquency with total losses in the portfolio of $97,000 from three accounts. The most recent loss occurred during the third quarter of 2009 when we repossessed a boat. At the time of repossession, this

5


 

boat secured a loan of approximately $100,000. We have charged $50,000 to the allowance for loan losses for anticipated losses we expect to incur on this transaction and we have included in other assets $50,000 for the repossessed value of the boat. We anticipate we will sell the boat and we do not expect to recognize any substantive additional losses on the boat.
     Personal and Household Loans. We also make consumer loans for personal, family or household purposes as a convenience to our customer base. However, these loans are not a focus of our lending activities. As a general guideline, a consumer’s total debt service should not exceed 40% of their gross income. The underwriting standards for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant’s payment history on other debts and an assessment of his or her ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan.
     Consumer loans may present greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans because many consumer loans are unsecured or rapidly depreciating assets secure these loans. Repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance because of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. Consumer loan collections depend on the borrower’s continuing financial stability. If a borrower suffers personal financial difficulties, the loan may not be repaid. Also, various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount we can recover on such loans. However, in our opinion, many of these risks do not apply to the luxury boat loan portfolio due to the credit quality and liquidity of the borrowers.
     Lending Limit. As of December 31, 2009, our legal lending limit for loans to one borrower was approximately $5.4 million. As part of our risk management strategy, we may attempt to participate a portion of larger loans to other financial institutions. This strategy allows Old Line Bank to maintain customer relationships yet reduce credit exposure. However, this strategy may not always be available.
Old Line Marine
     In February 2005, we established Old Line Marine as a division of Old Line Bank to serve as a boat loan broker and to originate loans for Old Line Bank. In 2007, high gasoline prices and an anemic economy negatively impacted the performance of the marine division. Because of losses experienced in this division and because we did not foresee an imminent improvement in the marine industry, in September 2007, we closed this division and released the employees associated with it.
Investments and Funding
     We balance our liquidity needs based on loan and deposit growth via the investment portfolio, purchased funds, and short term borrowings. It is our goal to provide adequate liquidity to support our loan growth. In the event we have excess liquidity, we use investments to generate positive earnings. In the event deposit growth does not fully support our loan growth, we can use a combination of investment sales, federal funds, other purchased funds and short term borrowings to augment our funding position.
     We actively monitor our investment portfolio and we classify the majority of the portfolio as “available for sale.” In general, under such a classification, we may sell investment instruments as management deems appropriate. On a monthly basis, we “mark to market” the investment portfolio through an adjustment to stockholders’ equity net of taxes. Additionally, we use the investment portfolio to balance our asset and liability position. We invest in fixed rate or floating rate instruments as necessary to reduce our interest rate risk exposure.
Other Banking Products
     We offer our customers safe deposit boxes, wire transfer services, debit cards, automated teller machines at all of our branch locations and credit cards through a third party processor. Additionally, we provide Internet banking capabilities to our customers. With our Internet banking service, our customers may view their accounts on-line and electronically remit bill payments. Our commercial account services include direct deposit of payroll for our commercial clients’ employees, an overnight sweep service and remote deposit capture service.

Deposit Activities
     Deposits are the major source of our funding. We offer a broad array of deposit products that include demand, NOW, money market and savings accounts as well as certificates of deposit. We believe that we pay competitive rates on our interest bearing deposits. As a relationship-oriented organization, we generally seek to obtain deposit relationships with our loan clients.
     As our overall balance sheet position dictates, we may become more or less competitive in our interest rate structure. Prior to 2006, we did not use brokered deposits. In the first quarter of 2006, we did begin using brokered certificates of deposit through the Promontory Interfinancial Network. Through this deposit matching network and its certificate of deposit account registry service (CDARS), we obtained the ability to offer our customers access to FDIC-insured deposit products in aggregate amounts exceeding current insurance limits. When we place funds through CDARS on behalf of a customer, we receive matching deposits through the network. During 2007, 2008 and 2009, we also purchased brokered certificates of deposit from other sources.
Competition
     The banking business is highly competitive. We compete with other commercial banks, savings associations, credit unions, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market mutual funds and other financial institutions operating in our primary market area and elsewhere.
     We believe that we have effectively leveraged our talents, contacts and location to achieve a strong financial position. However, our primary market area is highly competitive and heavily branched. Competition in our primary market area for loans to small and medium sized businesses, entrepreneurs, professionals and high net worth clients is intense, and pricing is important. Most of our competitors have substantially greater resources and lending limits than we do and offer extensive and established branch networks and other services that we do not offer. Moreover, larger institutions operating in our primary market area have access to borrowed funds at a lower rate than is available to us. Deposit competition also is strong among institutions in our primary market area. As a result, it is possible that to remain competitive we may need to pay above market rates for deposits.
Employees
     As of March 1, 2010, Old Line Bank had 73 full time and 10 part time employees. No collective bargaining unit represents any of our employees and we believe that relations with our employees are good. Old Line Bancshares, Inc. has no employees.

Supervision and Regulation
     Old Line Bancshares, Inc. and Old Line Bank are subject to extensive regulation under state and federal banking laws and regulations. These laws impose specific requirements and restrictions on virtually all aspects of operations and generally are intended to protect depositors, not stockholders. The following discussion is only a summary and readers should refer to particular statutory and regulatory provisions for more detailed information. In addition, management cannot predict the nature or the extent of the effect on business and earnings that new federal or state legislation may have in the future.
Old Line Bancshares, Inc.
     Old Line Bancshares, Inc. is a Maryland corporation registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. We are subject to regulation and examination by the Federal Reserve Board, and are required to file periodic reports and any additional information that the Federal Reserve Board may require. The Bank Holding Company Act generally prohibits a bank holding company from engaging in activities other than banking, managing or controlling banks or other permissible subsidiaries and acquiring or retaining direct or indirect control of any company engaged in any activities closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks.
     The Federal Reserve Board must approve, among other things, the acquisition by a bank holding company of control of more than 5% of the voting shares, or substantially all the assets, of any bank, or the merger or consolidation by a bank holding company with another bank holding company. The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the “Riegle-Neal Act”) repealed many of the restrictions on interstate acquisitions of banks by bank holding companies in September 1995. As a result of the Riegle-Neal Act, subject to certain time and deposit base requirements, we can acquire a bank located in Maryland or any other state, and a bank holding company located outside of Maryland can acquire any Maryland-based bank holding company or bank.
     Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain restrictions imposed by statute on any extensions of credit to the bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries, or investments in their stock or other securities, and on taking such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower. Further, a bank holding company and any of its subsidiary banks are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with the extension of credit. In 1997, the Federal Reserve Board adopted amendments to its Regulation Y, creating exceptions to the Bank Holding Company Act’s anti-tying prohibitions that give bank subsidiaries of holding companies greater flexibility in packaging products and services with their affiliates.
     In accordance with Federal Reserve Board policy, Old Line Bancshares, Inc. is expected to act as a source of financial strength to Old Line Bank and to commit resources to support Old Line Bank in circumstances in which Old Line Bancshares, Inc. might not otherwise do so. The Federal Reserve Board may require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or relinquish control of a non-bank subsidiary (other than a non-bank subsidiary of a bank) upon the Federal Reserve’s determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness or stability of any subsidiary depository institution of the bank holding company. Further, federal bank regulatory authorities have additional discretion to require a bank holding company to divest itself of any bank or non-bank subsidiary if the agency determines that divestiture may aid the depository institution’s financial condition.
     The Federal Reserve Board imposes risk-based capital measures on bank holding companies in order to insure their capital adequacy.
     Old Line Bancshares, Inc., as a bank holding company, is subject to dividend regulations of the Federal Reserve System. In general, a small bank holding company that has a debt to equity ratio greater than 1:1 is not expected to pay corporate dividends until such time as its debt to equity ratio declines to 1:1 or less and its bank subsidiary is otherwise well managed, well capitalized and not under any supervisory order. Old Line Bancshares, Inc. is a small bank holding company, and does not have a debt to equity ratio that is greater than 1:1.

     Under Maryland law, an existing bank holding company that desires to acquire a Maryland state-chartered bank or trust company, a federally-chartered bank with its main office in Maryland, or a bank holding company that has its principal place of business in Maryland, must file an application with the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation. In approving the application, the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation must consider whether the acquisition may be detrimental to the safety and soundness of the entity being acquired or whether the acquisition may result in an undue concentration of resources or a substantial reduction in competition in Maryland. The Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation may not approve an acquisition if, on consummation of the transaction, the acquiring company, together with all its insured depository institution affiliates, would control 30% or more of the total amount of deposits of insured depository institutions in Maryland. The Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation has authority to adopt by regulation a procedure to waive this requirement for good cause. In a transaction for which approval of the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation is not required due to an exemption under Maryland law, or for which federal law authorizes the transaction without application to the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation, the parties to the acquisition must provide written notice to the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation at least 15 days before the effective date of the transaction.
     The status of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. as a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act does not exempt it from certain federal and state laws and regulations applicable to Maryland corporations generally, including, without limitation, certain provisions of the federal securities laws.
Old Line Bank
     Old Line Bank is a Maryland chartered trust company (with all powers of a commercial bank), is a member of the Federal Reserve System (a “state member bank”) and the Deposit Insurance Fund of the FDIC (“DIF”) insures its deposit accounts up to the maximum legal limits of the FDIC. It is subject to regulation, supervision and regular examination by the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation and the Federal Reserve Board. The regulations of these various agencies govern most aspects of Old Line Bank’s business, including required reserves against deposits, loans, investments, mergers and acquisitions, borrowing, dividends and location and number of branch offices. The laws and regulations governing Old Line Bank generally have been promulgated to protect depositors and the deposit insurance funds, and not for the purpose of protecting stockholders.
     The following references to the laws and regulations which regulate Old Line Bank are brief summaries thereof, do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such laws and regulations.
Branching and Interstate Banking
     The federal banking agencies are authorized to approve interstate bank merger transactions without regard to whether such transactions are prohibited by the law of any state, unless the home state of one of the banks has opted out of the interstate bank merger provisions of the Riegle-Neal Act by timely adopting a law which applies equally to all out-of-state banks and expressly prohibits merger transactions involving out-of-state banks. Interstate acquisitions of branches are permitted only if the law of the state in which the branch is located permits such acquisitions. Such interstate bank mergers and branch acquisitions are also subject to the nationwide and statewide insured deposit concentration limitations described in the Riegle-Neal Act.
     The Riegle-Neal Act authorizes the federal banking agencies to approve interstate branching de novo by national and state banks in states that specifically allow for such branching. The District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia have all enacted laws that permit interstate acquisitions of banks and bank branches and permit out-of-state banks to establish de novo branches.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
     The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (“GLBA”) substantially altered the statutory framework for providing banking and other financial services in the United States of America. The GLBA, among other things, eliminated many of the restrictions on affiliations among banks and securities firms, insurance firms, and other financial service providers.

     The GLBA also provides protections against the transfer and use by financial institutions of consumers’ nonpublic personal information. A financial institution must provide to its customers, at the beginning of the customer relationship and annually thereafter, the institution’s policies and procedures regarding the handling of customers’ nonpublic personal financial information. The privacy provisions generally prohibit a financial institution from providing a customer’s personal financial information to unaffiliated third parties unless the institution discloses to the customer that the information may be so provided and the customer is given the opportunity to opt out of such disclosure.
Capital Adequacy Guidelines
     The Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have adopted risk based capital adequacy guidelines pursuant to which they assess the adequacy of capital in examining and supervising banks and in analyzing bank regulatory applications. Risk-based capital requirements determine the adequacy of capital based on the risk inherent in various classes of assets and off-balance sheet items.
     State member banks are expected to meet a minimum ratio of total qualifying capital (the sum of core capital (Tier 1) and supplementary capital (Tier 2)) to risk weighted assets of 8%. At least half of this amount (4%) should be in the form of Tier 1 Capital. In general, this requirement is similar to the capital that a bank must have in order to be considered “adequately capitalized” under the prompt corrective action regulations. See “Prompt Corrective Action.” Old Line Bank currently complies with this minimum requirement.
     Tier 1 Capital generally consists of the sum of common stockholders’ equity and perpetual preferred stock (subject in the case of the latter to limitations on the kind and amount of such stock which may be included as Tier 1 Capital), less goodwill, without adjustment for changes in the market value of securities classified as “available for sale”. Tier 2 Capital consists of the following: hybrid capital instruments; perpetual preferred stock which is not otherwise eligible to be included as Tier 1 Capital; term subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock; and, subject to limitations, general allowances for loan losses. Assets are adjusted under the risk-based guidelines to take into account different risk characteristics, with the categories ranging from 0% (requiring no risk-based capital) for assets such as cash, to 100% for the bulk of assets which are typically held by a commercial bank, including certain multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans and consumer loans. Residential first mortgage loans on one to four family residential real estate and certain seasoned multi-family residential real estate loans, which are not 90 days or more past-due or non-performing and which have been made in accordance with prudent underwriting standards are assigned a 50% level in the risk-weighing system, as are certain privately-issued mortgage-backed securities representing indirect ownership of such loans. Off-balance sheet items also are adjusted to take into account certain risk characteristics.
     In addition to the risk-based capital requirements, the Federal Reserve Board has established a minimum 3.0% Leverage Capital Ratio (Tier 1 Capital to total adjusted assets) requirement for the most highly-rated banks, with an additional cushion of at least 100 to 200 basis points for all other banks, which effectively increases the minimum Leverage Capital Ratio for such other banks to 4.0% — 5.0% or more. The highest-rated banks are those that are not anticipating or experiencing significant growth and have well diversified risk, including no undue interest rate risk exposure, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, good earnings and, in general, those which are considered a strong banking organization. A bank having less than the minimum Leverage Capital Ratio requirement must, within 60 days of the date as of which it fails to comply with such requirement, submit a reasonable plan describing the means and timing by which the bank will achieve its minimum Leverage Capital Ratio requirement. A bank which fails to file such a plan is deemed to be operating in an unsafe and unsound manner, and could be subject to a cease-and-desist order. Any insured depository institution with a Leverage Capital Ratio that is less than 2.0% is deemed to be operating in an unsafe or unsound condition pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the “FDIA”) and is subject to potential termination of deposit insurance. However, such an institution will not be subject to an enforcement proceeding solely on account of its capital ratios if it has entered into and is in compliance with a written agreement to increase its Leverage Capital Ratio and to take such other action as may be necessary for the institution to be operated in a safe and sound manner. The capital regulations also provide, among other things, for the issuance of a capital directive, which is a final order issued to a bank that fails to maintain minimum capital or to restore its capital to the minimum capital requirement within a specified time period.

     On September 3, 2009, the U. S. Treasury issued a policy statement (the “Treasury Policy Statement”) entitled “Principles for Reforming the U.S. and International Regulatory Capital Framework for Banking Firms.” The U.S. Treasury developed this statement in consultation with the U.S. bank regulatory agencies and contemplates changes to the existing regulatory capital regime that would involve substantial revisions to the regulatory capital and liquidity regime for regulated banking organizations and other systemically important institutions. The Treasury Policy Statement calls for, among other things, higher and stronger capital requirements for all banking firms. The Treasury Policy Statement suggested that changes to the regulatory capital framework be phased in over a period of several years. The recommended schedule provides for a comprehensive international agreement by December 31, 2010, with the implementation of reforms by December 31, 2012, although it does remain possible that U.S. bank regulatory agencies could officially adopt, or informally implement new capital standards at an earlier date.
     On December 17, 2009, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“Basel Committee”) issued a set of proposals (the “Capital Proposals”) that would significantly revise the definitions of Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital, with the most significant changes being to Tier 1 Capital. Most notably, the Capital Proposals would also re-emphasize that common equity is the predominant component of Tier 1 Capital by adding a minimum common equity to risk-weighted assets ratio and requiring that goodwill, general intangibles and certain other items that currently must be deducted from Tier 1 Capital instead be deducted from common equity as a component of Tier 1 Capital. The Capital Proposals also leave open the possibility that the Basel Committee will recommend changes to the minimum Tier 1 Capital and total capital ratios of 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively.
     Concurrently with the release of the Capital Proposals, the Basel Committee also released a set of proposals related to liquidity risk exposure (the “Liquidity Proposals”, and together with the Capital Proposals, the “2009 Basel Committee Proposals”). The Liquidity Proposals have three key elements, including the implementation of (i) a “liquidity coverage ratio”, designed to ensure that a bank maintains an adequate level of unencumbered, high-quality assets sufficient to meet the bank’s liquidity needs over a 30-day time horizon under an acute liquidity stress scenario, (ii) a “net stable funding ratio” designed to promote more medium and long term funding of the assets and activities of banks over a one year time horizon, and (iii) a set of monitoring tools that the Basel Committee indicates should be considered as the minimum types of information that banks should report to supervisors and that supervisors should use in monitoring the liquidity risk profiles of supervised entities.
     Comments on the 2009 Basel Committee Proposals are due by April 16, 2010, with the expectation that the Basel Committee will release a comprehensive set of proposals by December 31, 2010 and that final provisions will be implemented by December 31, 2012. The U.S. bank regulators have urged comment on the 2009 Basel Committee Proposals. Ultimate implementation of such proposals in the U.S. will be subject to the discretion of the U.S. bank regulators and the regulations or guidelines adopted by such agencies may differ from the 2009 Basel Committee Proposals and other proposals that the Basel Committee may promulgate in the future.
Prompt Corrective Action
     Under Section 38 of the FDIA, each federal banking agency is required to implement a system of prompt corrective action for institutions that it regulates. The federal banking agencies have promulgated substantially similar regulations to implement the system of prompt corrective action established by Section 38 of the FDIA. Under the regulations, a bank will be deemed to be: (i) “well capitalized” if it has a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of 10.0% or more, a Tier 1 Risk Based Capital Ratio of 6.0% or more, a Leverage Capital Ratio of 5.0% or more and is not subject to any written capital order or directive; (ii) “adequately capitalized” if it has a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of 8.0% or more, a Tier 1 Risk Based Capital Ratio of 4.0% or more and a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of 4.0% or more (3.0% under certain circumstances) and does not meet the definition of “well capitalized;” (iii) “undercapitalized” if it has a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio that is less than 8.0%, a Tier 1 Risk Based Capital Ratio that is less than 4.0% or a Leverage Capital Ratio that is less than 4.0% (3.0% under certain circumstances); (iv) “significantly undercapitalized” if it has a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio that is less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 Risk Based Capital Ratio that is less than 3.0% or a Leverage Capital Ratio that is less than 3.0%; and (v) “critically undercapitalized” if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%.

11


 

     An institution generally must file a written capital restoration plan which meets specified requirements with an appropriate federal banking agency within 45 days of the date the institution receives notice or is deemed to have notice that it is undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized. A federal banking agency must provide the institution with written notice of approval or disapproval within 60 days after receiving a capital restoration plan, subject to extensions by the applicable agency.
     An institution that is required to submit a capital restoration plan must concurrently submit a performance guaranty by each company that controls the institution. Such guaranty will be limited to the lesser of (i) an amount equal to 5.0% of the institution’s total assets at the time the institution was notified or deemed to have notice that it was undercapitalized or (ii) the amount necessary at such time to restore the relevant capital measures of the institution to the levels required for the institution to be classified as adequately capitalized. Such a guaranty will expire after the federal banking agency notifies the institution that it has remained adequately capitalized for each of four consecutive calendar quarters. An institution which fails to submit a written capital restoration plan within the requisite period, including any required performance guaranty, or fails in any material respect to implement a capital restoration plan, will be subject to the restrictions in Section 38 of the FDIA which are applicable to significantly undercapitalized institutions.
     Immediately upon becoming undercapitalized, an institution becomes subject to the provisions of Section 38 of the FDIA, which (i) restrict payment of capital distributions and management fees; (ii) require that the appropriate federal banking agency monitor the condition of the institution and its efforts to restore its capital; (iii) require submission of a capital restoration plan; (iv) restrict the growth of the institution’s assets; and (v) require prior approval of certain expansion proposals. The appropriate federal banking agency for an undercapitalized institution also may take any number of discretionary supervisory actions if the agency determines that any of these actions is necessary to resolve the problems of the institution at the least possible long-term cost to the deposit insurance fund, subject in certain cases to specified procedures. These discretionary supervisory actions include: requiring the institution to raise additional capital, restricting transactions with affiliates, requiring divestiture of the institution or sale of the institution to a willing purchaser, and any other supervisory action that the agency deems appropriate. These and additional mandatory and permissive supervisory actions may be taken with respect to significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized institutions.
     A “critically undercapitalized institution” will be placed in conservatorship or receivership within 90 days unless the FDIC formally determines that forbearance from such action would better protect the deposit insurance fund. Unless the FDIC or other appropriate federal banking regulatory agency makes specific further findings and certifies that the institution is viable and is not expected to fail, an institution that remains critically undercapitalized on average during the fourth calendar quarter after the date it becomes critically undercapitalized must be placed in receivership. The general rule is that the FDIC will be appointed as receiver within 90 days after a bank becomes critically undercapitalized unless extremely good cause is shown and the federal regulators agree to an extension. In general, good cause is defined as capital that has been raised and is immediately available for infusion into the bank except for certain technical requirements that may delay the infusion for a period of time beyond the 90 day time period.
     Additionally, under Section 11(c)(5) of the FDIA, a conservator or receiver may be appointed for an institution where: (i) an institution’s obligations exceed its assets; (ii) there is substantial dissipation of the institution’s assets or earnings as a result of any violation of law or any unsafe or unsound practice; (iii) the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition; (iv) there is a willful violation of a cease-and-desist order; (v) the institution is unable to pay its obligations in the ordinary course of business; (vi) losses or threatened losses deplete all or substantially all of an institution’s capital, and there is no reasonable prospect of becoming “adequately capitalized” without assistance; (vii) there is any violation of law or unsafe or unsound practice or condition that is likely to cause insolvency or substantial dissipation of assets or earnings, weaken the institution’s condition, or otherwise seriously prejudice the interests of depositors or the insurance fund; (viii) an institution ceases to be insured; (ix) the institution is undercapitalized and has no reasonable prospect that it will become adequately capitalized, fails to become adequately capitalized when required to do so, or fails to submit or materially implement a capital restoration plan; or (x) the institution is critically undercapitalized or otherwise has substantially insufficient capital.
     Currently, Old Line Bank is well capitalized.

Deposit Insurance Assessments
     The DIF insures substantially all of Old Line Bank’s deposits. The FDIC maintains a risk based assessment system for determining deposit insurance premiums. The FDIC has established four risk categories (I-IV), each subject to different premium rates, based upon an institution’s status as well capitalized, adequately capitalized or under capitalized, and the institution’s supervisory rating. In December 2008, the FDIC raised the then current assessment rates uniformly by 7 basis points for the first quarter of 2009 assessment, which resulted in annualized assessment rates for institutions in Risk Category 1 (well capitalized institutions, perceived as posing the least risk to the insurance fund) from 12 to 14 basis points. In February 2009, the FDIC issued final rules to amend the DIF restoration plan, change the risk-based assessment system and set assessment rates for Risk Category 1 institutions beginning in the second quarter of 2009. As a result of this final rule the annualized assessment rates for institutions in Risk Category 1 range from 12 to 16 basis points. Old Line Bank is a Risk Category 1 institution.
     In May 2009, the FDIC issued a final rule which levied a special assessment applicable to all insured depository institutions totaling five basis points of each institution’s assets minus its Tier 1 Capital as of June 30, 2009, not to exceed 10 basis points of the institution’s domestic deposits. The special assessment was part of the FDIC’s efforts to rebuild the DIF. During the year ended December 31, 2009, our FDIC insurance premiums increased $392,000 inclusive of the $149,748 special assessment.
     In November 2009, the FDIC issued a rule that required all insured depository institutions, with limited exceptions, to prepay their estimated quarterly risk based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. The FDIC also adopted a uniform three basis point increase in assessment rates effective on January 1, 2011. In December 2009, we paid $1.4 million in prepaid risk based assessments, which included $88,882 related to the fourth quarter of 2009 that we would have otherwise paid in the first quarter of 2010. This amount is included in our deposit insurance expense for 2009. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, includes the remaining $1.3 million in pre-paid deposit insurance in other assets.
     Under the FDIA, the FDIC may terminate insurance of deposits upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC.
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008
     In the third quarter of 2008, the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Treasury and the FDIC initiated measures to stabilize the financial markets and to provide liquidity for financial institutions. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”) was signed into law on October 3, 2008 and authorized the U.S. Treasury to provide funds to restore liquidity and stability to the U.S. financial system. Under the authority of EESA, the U.S. Treasury instituted a voluntary capital purchase program to encourage U.S. financial institutions to build capital to increase the flow of financing to U.S. businesses and consumers to support the U.S. economy. Under the program, the U.S. Treasury purchased senior preferred shares of financial institutions that pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per year for five years and thereafter at a rate of 9% per year. On December 5, 2008, Old Line Bancshares issued to the U.S. Treasury $7 million of Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 141,892 shares of our common stock at $7.40 per share. We elected to participate in the capital purchase program at an amount equal to approximately 3% of our risk weighted assets at the time.
     On July 15, 2009, we repurchased from the U.S. Treasury the 7,000 shares of preferred stock that we issued to them in December 2008. We also repurchased the warrant to purchase 141,892 shares of our common stock that was issued to the U.S. Treasury in conjunction with the issuance of preferred stock.
Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program
     On November 21, 2008, the FDIC adopted a final rule relating to the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLG Program”). The FDIC announced the TLG Program on October 14, 2008, preceded by the determination of systemic risk by the Secretary of the Department of the Treasury (after consultation with the President), as an initiative to counter the system wide crisis in the nation’s financial sector. Under the TLG Program, the FDIC will (i) guarantee certain newly issued senior unsecured debt issued by participating institutions,

13


 

through the earlier of maturity or December 31, 2012 (extended from June 30, 2012 by subsequent amendment), and (ii) provide full FDIC deposit insurance coverage for non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts, Negotiable Order of Withdrawal (“NOW”) accounts paying less than 0.5% interest per annum and Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts held at participating FDIC insured institutions through June 30, 2010 (extended from December 31, 2009, subject to an opt-out provision, by subsequent amendment). The fee assessment for coverage of senior unsecured debt ranges from 50 basis points to 100 basis points per annum, depending on the initial maturity of the debt. The fee assessment for deposit insurance coverage was 10 basis points per quarter during 2009 on amounts in covered accounts exceeding $250,000. During the six month extension period in 2010, the fee assessment increases to 15 basis points per quarter for Risk Category 1 institutions. On December 5, 2008, Old Line Bank elected to participate in only the FDIC deposit insurance coverage for non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts and we elected to participate in the six month extension period for these accounts.
Maryland Regulatory Assessment
     The Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation in the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation assesses state chartered banks to cover the expense of regulating banking institutions. The Commissioner assesses each banking institution the sum of $1,000, plus $0.08 for each $1,000 of assets of the institution over $1,000,000, as disclosed on the banking institution’s most recent financial report. In 2009, we paid $37,940 to the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation.
Regulatory Enforcement Authority
     The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (“FIRREA”) included substantial enhancement to the enforcement powers available to federal banking regulators, including the Federal Reserve Board. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions against banking organizations and institution-affiliated parties. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with regulatory authorities. FIRREA significantly increased the amount of and grounds for civil money penalties and requires, except under certain circumstances, public disclosure of final enforcement actions by the federal banking agencies.
Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders
     Maryland law imposes restrictions on certain transactions with affiliates of Maryland commercial banks. Generally, under Maryland law, a director, officer or employee of a commercial bank may not borrow, directly or indirectly, any money from the bank, unless the loan has been approved by a resolution adopted by and recorded in the minutes of the board of directors of the bank, or the executive committee of the bank, if that committee is authorized to make loans. If the executive committee approves such a loan, the loan approval must be reported to the board of directors at its next meeting. Certain commercial loans made to directors of a bank and certain consumer loans made to non-officer employees of the bank are exempt from the law’s coverage.
     In addition, Old Line Bank is subject to the provisions of Section 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation W of the Federal Reserve Bank (collectively, “Regulation W”), which limit the amount of loans or extensions of credit to, investments in, or certain other transactions with, affiliates, and limits the amount of advances to third parties collateralized by the securities or obligations of affiliates. Regulation W limits the aggregate amount of transactions with any individual affiliate to 10% of the capital and surplus of Old Line Bank and also limits the aggregate amount of transactions with all affiliates to 20% of capital and surplus. Loans and certain other extensions of credit to affiliates are required to be secured by collateral in an amount and of a type described in Regulation W, and the purchase of low quality assets from affiliates is generally prohibited.
Regulation W, among other things, prohibits an institution from engaging in certain transactions with certain affiliates (as defined in the Federal Reserve Act) unless the transactions are on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to such institution and/or its subsidiaries, as those prevailing at the time for comparable

14


 

transactions with non-affiliated entities. In the absence of comparable transactions, such transactions may only occur under terms and circumstances, including credit standards that in good faith would be offered to or would apply to non-affiliated companies. In addition, under Regulation W:
    a bank and its subsidiaries may not purchase a low-quality asset from an affiliate;
 
    covered transactions and other specified transactions between a bank or its subsidiaries and an affiliate must be on terms and conditions that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices; and
 
    with some exceptions, each loan or extension of credit by a bank 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.
     Regulation W generally excludes non-bank and non-savings association subsidiaries of banks from treatment as affiliates, except to the extent that the Federal Reserve Board decides to treat these subsidiaries as affiliates.
     Old Line Bank also is subject to the restrictions contained in Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation O thereunder (collectively, “Regulation O”), which govern loans and extensions of credit to executive officers, directors and principal stockholders. Under Regulation O, loans to a director, an executive officer or a greater-than-10% stockholder of a bank as well as certain affiliated interests of any of the foregoing may not exceed, together with all other outstanding loans to such person and affiliated interests, the loans-to-one-borrower limit applicable to national banks (generally 15% of the institution’s unimpaired capital and surplus), and all loans to all such persons in the aggregate may not exceed the institution’s unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. Regulation O also prohibits the making of loans in an amount greater than $25,000 or 5% of capital and surplus but in any event not over $500,000, to directors, executive officers and greater-than-10% stockholders of a bank, and their respective affiliates, unless such loans are approved in advance by a majority of the Board of Directors of the bank with any interested director not participating in the voting. Further, Regulation O requires that loans to directors, executive officers and principal stockholders be made on terms substantially the same as those that are offered in comparable transactions to unrelated third parties unless the loans are made pursuant to a benefit or compensation program that is widely available to all employees of the bank and does not give preference to insiders over other employees. Regulation O also prohibits a depository institution from paying overdrafts over $1,000 of any of its executive officers or directors unless they are paid pursuant to written pre-authorized extension of credit or transfer of funds plans.
     All of Old Line Bank’s loans to its and Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s executive officers, directors and greater-than-10% stockholders, and affiliated interests of such persons, comply with the requirements of Regulation W and Regulation O.
     We have entered into banking transactions with our directors and executive officers and the business and professional organizations in which they are associated in the ordinary course of business. We make any loans and loan commitments in accordance with all applicable laws.
Loans to One Borrower
     Old Line Bank is subject to the statutory and regulatory limits on the extension of credit to one borrower. Generally, the maximum amount of total outstanding loans that a Maryland chartered trust company may have to any one borrower at any one time is 15% of Old Line Bank’s unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus.

15


 

Liquidity
     Old Line Bank is subject to the reserve requirements imposed by the State of Maryland. A Maryland commercial bank is required to have at all times a reserve equal to at least 15% of its demand deposits. Old Line Bank is also subject to the reserve requirements of Federal Reserve Board Regulation D, which applies to all depository institutions. Specifically, as of December 31, 2009, amounts in transaction accounts above $10.7 million and up to $55.2 million must have reserves held against them in the ratio of three percent of the amount. Amounts above $55.2 million require reserves of 10 percent of the amount in excess of $55.2 million. The Maryland reserve requirements may be used to satisfy the requirements of Federal Reserve Regulation D. Old Line Bank is in compliance with its reserve requirements.
Dividends
     Under Maryland law, Old Line Bank may declare a cash dividend, after providing for due or accrued expenses, losses, interest, and taxes, from its undivided profits or, with the prior approval of the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation, from its surplus in excess of 100% of its required capital stock. Also, if Old Line Bank’s surplus is less than 100% of its required capital stock, cash dividends may not be paid in excess of 90% of net earnings. In addition to these specific restrictions, the bank regulatory agencies have the ability to prohibit or limit proposed dividends if such regulatory agencies determine the payment of such dividends would result in Old Line Bank being in an unsafe and unsound condition.
Community Reinvestment Act
     Old Line Bank is required to comply with the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) regardless of its capital condition. The CRA requires that, in connection with its examinations of Old Line Bank, the Federal Reserve evaluates the record of Old Line Bank in meeting the credit needs of its local community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of the institution. The CRA does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institution’s discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the CRA. These factors are considered in, among other things, evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications to open a branch or facility. The CRA also requires all institutions to make public disclosure of their CRA ratings. Old Line Bank received a “Satisfactory” rating in its latest CRA examination.
USA Patriot Act
     The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (the “USA Patriot Act”) substantially broadened the scope of U.S. anti-money laundering laws and regulations by imposing significant new compliance and due diligence obligations, creating new crimes and penalties and expanding the extra-territorial jurisdiction of the United States. The Patriot Act requires financial institutions, including banks, to establish anti-money laundering programs, including employee training and independent audit requirements, meet minimum standards specified by the Act, follow minimum standards for customer identification and maintenance of customer identification records, and regularly compare customer lists against lists of suspected terrorists, terrorist organizations and money launderers. The U.S. Treasury has issued a number of implementing regulations that apply to various requirements of the USA Patriot Act to financial institutions such as Old Line Bank. Those regulations impose obligations on financial institutions to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing.
     Failure of a financial institution to comply with the USA Patriot Act’s requirements could have serious legal and reputational consequences for the institution. Old Line Bank has adopted appropriate policies, procedures and controls to address compliance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act under the existing regulations and will continue to revise and update its policies, procedures and controls to reflect changes required by the USA Patriot Act and Treasury’s regulations.
     The costs or other effects of the compliance burdens imposed by the Patriot Act or future anti-terrorist, homeland security or anti-money laundering legislation or regulations cannot be predicted with certainty.

Consumer Protection Laws
     Old Line Bank is subject to a number of federal and state laws designed to protect borrowers and promote lending to various sectors of the economy. These laws include the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, and various state law counterparts.
     In addition, federal law currently contains extensive customer privacy protection provisions. Under these provisions, a financial institution must provide to its customers, at the inception of the customer relationship and annually thereafter, the institution’s policies and procedures regarding the handling of customers’ nonpublic personal financial information. These provisions also provide that, except for certain limited exceptions, a financial institution may not provide such personal information to unaffiliated third parties unless the institution discloses to the customer that such information may be so provided and the customer is given the opportunity to opt out of such disclosure. Federal law makes it a criminal offense, except in limited circumstances, to obtain or attempt to obtain customer information of a financial nature by fraudulent or deceptive means.
     Effective July 1, 2010, a new federal banking rule under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act will prohibit financial institutions from charging consumers fees for paying overdrafts on automated teller machines (“ATM”) and one-time debit card transactions, unless a consumer consents, or opts in, to the overdraft service for those types of transactions. If a consumer does not opt in, the financial institution will deny any ATM transaction or debit that overdraws the consumer’s account. This new rule does not cover overdrafts on the payment of checks and regular electronic bill payments. Before opting in, the financial institution must provide the consumer a notice that explains the financial institution’s overdraft services, including the fees associated with the service, and the consumer’s choices. Financial institutions must provide consumers who do not opt in with the same account terms, conditions and features (including pricing) that they provide to consumers who do opt in.
Proposed Legislation and Regulatory Actions
     New regulations and statutes are regularly proposed that contain wide-ranging proposals for altering the structures, regulations, and competitive relationships of the nation’s financial institutions. We cannot predict whether or in what form any proposed regulation or statute will be adopted or the extent to which any new regulation or statute may affect our business.
Effect of Governmental Monetary Policies
     Our earnings are affected by domestic economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and its agencies. The Federal Reserve Board’s monetary policies have had, and are likely to continue to have, an important impact on the operating results of commercial banks through its power to implement national monetary policy in order, among other things, to curb inflation or combat a recession. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board affect the levels of bank loans, investments and deposits through its control over the issuance of United States government securities, its regulation of the discount rate applicable to member banks and its influence over reserve requirements to which member banks are subject. We cannot predict the nature or impact of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies.

Forward Looking Statements
     Some of the matters discussed in this annual report including under the captions “Business of Old Line Bancshares, Inc.,” “Business of Old Line Bank,” “Risk Factors”, and “Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations” and elsewhere in this annual report, including with respect to anticipated expansion and the opening of new branches, growth of customer relationships and anticipated operating results, include forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding future revenues (including changes in revenues), income and expenses, improved earnings and stockholder value, liquidity, loan, deposit and asset growth, use of brokered deposits, payment and losses on non-accrual loans, potential regulatory changes, the allowance for loan losses, interest rate sensitivity, market risk, leasing of the second floor of our Waldorf branch, the status of the unrealized losses in our investment portfolio and business, financial and other goals. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “project,” “contemplate,” “anticipate,” “forecast,” “intend” or other words of similar meaning. You can also identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When you read a forward-looking statement, you should keep in mind the risk factors described below and any other information contained in this annual report, which identifies a risk or uncertainty. Our actual results and the actual outcome of our expectations and strategies could be different from that described in this annual report because of these risks and uncertainties and you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this filing, and we undertake no obligation to make any revisions to the forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this filing or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
ITEM 1A.   Risk Factors
     You should consider carefully the following risks, along with other information contained in this Form 10-K. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones that may affect us. Additional risks and uncertainties also may adversely affect our business and operations including those discussed in Item 7-Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. If any of the following events actually occur, it could materially and adversely affect our business and financial results.
     If economic conditions deteriorate further, our borrowers’ ability to repay loans declines and the value of the collateral securing our loans decreases, these conditions could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Changes in prevailing economic conditions, including declining real estate values, changes in interest rates which may cause a decrease in interest rate spreads, adverse employment conditions, the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and other significant external events may adversely affect our financial results. Because a significant portion of our loan portfolio is comprised of real estate related loans, continued decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral for loans in our portfolio. Although the adverse economic climate during the past two years has not severely impacted us due to our strict underwriting standards, further adverse changes in the economy, including increased unemployment or the economy moving back into a recession, could have a negative effect on the ability of our borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans, which would have an adverse impact on our earnings.
     If U.S. markets and economic conditions continue to deteriorate, our liquidity could be adversely affected. Old Line Bank must maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure sufficient cash flow is available to satisfy current and future financial obligations including demand for loans and deposit withdrawals, funding of operating costs and other corporate purposes. We obtain funding through deposits and various short-term and long-term wholesale borrowings, including federal funds purchased, unsecured borrowings, brokered certificates of deposits and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and others. Economic uncertainty and disruptions in the financial system may adversely affect our liquidity. Dramatic declines in the housing market during the past two years, falling real estate prices and increased foreclosures and unemployment, have resulted in significant asset value write-downs by financial institutions, including government-sponsored entities and investment banks. These investment write-downs have caused financial institutions to seek additional capital. Should we experience a substantial deterioration in our financial condition or should disruptions in the financial markets restrict our funding, it would negatively impact our liquidity. To mitigate this risk, we closely monitor our liquidity and maintain a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank and have received approval to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.

     Our need to comply with extensive and complex governmental regulation could have an adverse effect on our business and our growth strategy. The banking industry is subject to extensive regulation by state and federal banking authorities. Many of these regulations are intended to protect depositors, the public or the FDIC insurance funds, not stockholders. Regulatory requirements affect our lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy, ability to attract and retain personnel and many other aspects of our business. These requirements may constrain our rate of growth and changes in regulations could adversely affect us. The burden imposed by these federal and state regulations may place banks in general, and Old Line Bank specifically, at a competitive disadvantage compared to less regulated competitors. In addition, the cost of compliance with regulatory requirements could adversely affect our ability to operate profitably.
     In addition, because federal regulation of financial institutions changes regularly and is the subject of constant legislative debate, we cannot forecast how federal regulation of financial institutions may change in the future and impact our operations. In light of the performance of and government intervention in the financial sector, we fully expect there will be significant changes to the banking and financial institutions’ regulatory agencies in the near future. We further anticipate that additional laws and regulations may be enacted in response to the ongoing financial crisis that could have an impact on our operations. Changes in regulation and oversight, including in the form of changes to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies or changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations or policies, could affect the service and products we offer, increase our operating expenses, increase compliance challenges and otherwise adversely impact our financial performance and condition. In addition, the burden imposed by these federal and state regulations may place banks in general, and Old Line Bank specifically, at a competitive disadvantage compared to less regulated competitors.
     Because Old Line Bank serves a limited market area in Maryland, economic downturn in our market area could more adversely affect us than it affects our larger competitors that are more geographically diverse. Our current primary market area consists of the suburban Maryland (Washington, D.C. suburbs) counties of Prince George’s, Anne Arundel, Charles and northern St. Mary’s. We have expanded in Prince George’s County and Anne Arundel County, Maryland and may expand in contiguous northern and western counties, such as Montgomery County and Howard County, Maryland. However, broad geographic diversification is not currently part of our community bank focus. Overall, during 2008 and 2009, the business environment negatively impacted many businesses and households in the United States and worldwide. Although the economic decline has not impacted the suburban Maryland and Washington D.C. suburbs as adversely as other areas of the United States, it has caused an increase in unemployment and business failures and a decline in property values. As a result, if our market area continues to suffer an economic downturn, it may more severely affect our business and financial condition than it affects larger bank competitors. Our larger competitors serve more geographically diverse market areas, parts of which may not be affected by the same economic conditions that may exist in our market area. Further, unexpected changes in the national and local economy may adversely affect our ability to attract deposits and to make loans. Such risks are beyond our control and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and, in turn, the value of our securities.
     We depend on the services of key personnel. The loss of any of these personnel could disrupt our operations and our business could suffer. Our success depends substantially on the skills and abilities of our senior management team, including Mr. Cornelsen, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Burnett, our Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer, Ms. Rush, our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Credit Officer and Ms. Burnett, our Executive Vice President and College Park Team Leader. They provide valuable services to us and would be difficult to replace. Although we have entered into employment agreements with these executives, with the exception of Ms. Burnett, the existence of such agreements does not assure that we will retain their services. Further, Ms. Burnett is not party to an employment agreement with us and could terminate her employment at any time.
     Also, our growth and success and our anticipated future growth and success, in a large part, is due and we anticipate will be due to the relationships maintained by our banking executives with our customers. The loss of services of one or more of these executives or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our operations and our business could suffer. The experienced commercial lenders that we have hired are not a party to any employment agreement with us and they could terminate their employment with us at any time and for any reason.

19


 

     The federal agencies that regulate us are currently considering placing restrictions on executive compensation. This could cause the employment contracts with our management team to no longer be valid and this may effectively make our senior executive officers employees at will and could harm our ability to retain these individuals and our ability to attract and retain other key employees.
     Our growth and expansion strategy may not be successful. Our ability to grow depends upon our ability to attract new deposits, identify loan and investment opportunities and maintain adequate capital levels. We may also grow through acquisitions of existing financial institutions or branches thereof. There are no guarantees that our expansion strategies will be successful. Also, in order to effectively manage our anticipated and/or actual loan growth we have and may continue to make additional investments in equipment and personnel, which also will increase our non-interest expense.
     We opened a new branch in Crofton in Anne Arundel County, Maryland and a new branch in Bowie in Prince George’s County, Maryland during 2009. With respect to these branches or any other branches that we may open, we may not be able to correctly identify profitable or growing markets for such new branches. If we were to acquire another financial institution or branch thereof, we may not be able to integrate the institution or branch into our operations. Also, the costs to start up new branch facilities or to acquire existing financial institutions or branches thereof, and the additional costs to operate these facilities, will increase our non-interest expense. It may also be difficult to adequately and profitably manage the anticipated growth from the new branches or acquisitions and we may not be able to maintain the relatively low levels of charge-offs and nonperforming loans that we have experienced.
     If we grow too quickly and are not able to control costs and maintain asset quality, growth could materially and adversely affect our financial performance.
     Our focus on commercial and real estate loans may increase the risk of credit losses. We offer a variety of loans including commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans, home equity loans and consumer loans. We secure many of our loans with real estate (both residential and commercial) in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. During 2008 and 2009, property values declined in our market, energy prices were volatile, and there were rising private sector layoffs and unemployment, which caused consumer lending to slow. Although we believe our credit underwriting adequately considers these factors, further weakness in the economy and the real estate market could adversely affect our customers’ ability to repay their loans, which in turn could adversely impact us.
     Our concentrations of loans in various categories may also increase the risk of credit losses. We currently invest more than 25% of our capital in various loan types and industry segments, including commercial real estate loans, marine loans and loans to the hospitality industry (hotels/motels). While recent declines in the local commercial real estate market have not caused the collateral securing our loans to exceed acceptable loan to value ratios, a further deterioration in the commercial real estate market could cause deterioration in the collateral securing these loans and/or a decline in our customers’ earning capacity. This could negatively impact us. Although we have made a large portion of our hospitality loans to long-term, well established operators in strategic locations, a continued decline in the occupancy rate in these facilities could negatively impact their earnings. This could adversely impact their ability to repay their loan which would adversely impact our net income.
     If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings will decrease. We maintain an allowance for loan losses that we believe is adequate for absorbing any potential losses in our loan portfolio. Management, through a periodic review and consideration of the loan portfolio, determines the amount of the allowance for loan losses. Although we believe the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses in our loan portfolio, even under normal economic conditions, we cannot predict such losses with certainty. The unprecedented volatility experienced in the financial and capital markets during the last two to three years makes this determination even more difficult as processes we use to estimate the allowance for loan losses may no longer be dependable because they rely on complex judgments, including forecasts of economic conditions that may not be accurate. As a result, we cannot be sure that our allowance is or will be adequate in the future. If management’s assumptions and judgments prove to be incorrect and the allowance for loan losses is inadequate to absorb future losses, our earnings will suffer.

20


 

     As of December 31, 2009, commercial and industrial, construction, and commercial real estate mortgage loans comprise approximately 85.78% of our loan portfolio. These types of loans are generally viewed as having more risk of default than residential real estate or consumer loans and typically have larger balances than residential real estate loans and consumer loans. A deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in non-performing loans. Such an increase could result in a net loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for loan losses and an increase in loan charge-offs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
     Our profitability depends on interest rates and changes in monetary policy may impact us. Our results of operations depend to a large extent on our “net interest income,” which is the difference between the interest expense incurred in connection with our interest bearing liabilities, such as interest on deposit accounts, and the interest income received from our interest earning assets, such as loans and investment securities. Interest rates, because they are influenced by, among other things, expectations about future events, including the level of economic activity, federal monetary and fiscal policy, and geo-political stability, are not predictable or controllable. Additionally, competitive factors heavily influence the interest rates we can earn on our loan and investment portfolios and the interest rates we pay on our deposits. Community banks are often at a competitive disadvantage in managing their cost of funds compared to the large regional, super-regional or national banks that have access to the national and international capital markets. These factors influence our ability to maintain a stable net interest margin.
     We seek to maintain a neutral position in terms of the volume of assets and liabilities that mature or re-price during any period so that we may reasonably predict our net interest margin. However, interest rate fluctuations, loan prepayments, loan production and deposit flows are constantly changing and influence our ability to maintain this neutral position. Generally speaking, our earnings are more sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates the greater the variance in the volume of assets and liabilities that mature and re-price in any period. The extent and duration of the sensitivity will depend on the cumulative variance over time, the velocity and direction of interest rates, and whether we are more asset sensitive. Accordingly, we may not be successful in maintaining this neutral position and, as a result, our net interest margin may suffer.
     The market value of our investments could negatively impact stockholders’ equity. We have designated approximately 82.83% of our investment securities portfolio (and 7.84% of total assets) at December 31, 2009 as available for sale. Temporary unrealized gains and losses in the estimated value of the available for sale portfolio are “marked to market” and are reflected as a separate item in stockholders’ equity, net of taxes. As of December 31, 2009, we had temporary unrealized gains in our available for sale portfolio of $368,880 (net of taxes). As a result of the recent economic recession and the continued economic slowdown, several municipalities have reported budget deficits and companies have reported lower earnings. These budget deficits and lower earnings could cause temporary and other-than temporary impairment charges in our investment securities portfolio and cause us to report lower net income and a decline in stockholders’ equity.
     Old Line Bank faces substantial competition which could adversely affect our growth and operating results. Old Line Bank operates in a competitive market for financial services and faces intense competition from other financial institutions both in making loans and in attracting deposits. Many of these financial institutions have been in business for many years, are significantly larger, have established customer bases, have greater financial resources and lending limits than Old Line Bank, and are able to offer certain services that we are not able to offer. If Old Line Bank cannot attract deposits and make loans at a sufficient level, its operating results will suffer, as will its opportunities for growth.
     We face limits on our ability to lend. We are limited in the amount we can loan to a single borrower by the amount of our capital. Generally, under current law, we may lend up to 15% of our unimpaired capital and surplus to any one borrower. As of December 31, 2009, we were able to lend approximately $5.4 million to any one borrower. This amount is significantly less than that of many of our competitors and may discourage potential borrowers who have credit needs in excess of our legal lending limit from doing business with us. We generally try to accommodate larger loans by selling participations in those loans to other financial institutions, but this strategy is not always available. We may not be able to attract or maintain customers seeking larger loans and we may not be able to sell participations in such loans on terms we consider favorable.

21


 

     The costs of being a public company are proportionately higher for small companies like us due to the requirement of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) have increased the scope, complexity, and cost of corporate governance, reporting, and disclosure practices. These regulations are applicable to our company. We expect to experience increasing compliance costs, including costs related to internal controls, as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These necessary costs are proportionately higher for a company of our size and will affect our profitability more than that of some of our larger competitors.

     In June 2007, we opened a branch in Greenbelt, Maryland. Initially, we leased 2,700 square feet of space on the 1st floor of an office building located at 6301 Ivy Lane, Greenbelt, Prince George’s County, Maryland. The lease had a term of five years. After providing nine months written notice and paying a termination fee, Old Line Bank had the option to terminate the lease after the 2nd anniversary of the commencement date. In January 2009, we notified the landlord of our intent to terminate this lease in August 2009, paid the termination fee of $33,909 and moved this branch to the new facility in the fourth quarter of 2009 as outlined below.
     On January 31, 2007, Old Line Bank also entered into a lease agreement to lease approximately 33,000 square feet of ground area located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Kenilworth Avenue and Ivy Lane in Greenbelt, Prince George’s County, Maryland. In 2009, Old Line Bank constructed a free standing bank building on the land. The lease commenced in July 2009 and has an initial term of 30 years with two successive renewal periods of ten years. Old Line Bank moved the 6301 Ivy Lane, Greenbelt, Maryland branch into this new facility in the fourth quarter of 2009. We pay $8,825 per month for this lease plus taxes, insurance and operating expenses.
     In May 2008, we executed a lease agreement to lease 1,620 square feet of space in a store unit located at 167-U Jennifer Road, Annapolis, Maryland in Anne Arundel County. In September 2008, we opened this branch. The lease has an initial term of 5 years with one renewal option of five years. The monthly installments of this lease are $5,284 with 3% annual increases. We also pay taxes, insurance, utilities and our pro-rata share of common area maintenance.
     In July 2007, we identified a site for a second branch location at 12100 Annapolis Road, Glen Dale, Maryland in Prince George’s County. In 2009, we purchased the pad site located in the Fairwood Office Park, constructed a 2,863 square foot branch and opened this branch in October 2009.

     Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on the ability of Old Line Bank to pay dividends to us. Old Line Bank’s ability to continue paying dividends will depend on Old Line Bank’s compliance with certain dividend regulations imposed upon us by bank regulatory authorities.
     In addition, we will consider a number of other factors, including our income and financial condition, tax considerations, and general business conditions before deciding to pay additional dividends in the future. We can provide no assurance that we will continue to pay dividends to our stockholders.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
We did not repurchase any of our securities during the quarter ended December 31, 2009.

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
     Some of the matters discussed below include forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “project,” “contemplate,” “anticipate,” “forecast,” “intend” or other words of similar meaning. You can also identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Our actual results and the actual outcome of our expectations and strategies could be different from those anticipated or estimated for the reasons discussed below and under the heading “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”
Overview
     Old Line Bancshares was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on April 11, 2003 to serve as the holding company of Old Line Bank.
     Our primary business is to own all of the capital stock of Old Line Bank. We also have an approximately $1.2 million investment in a real estate investment limited liability company named Pointer Ridge Office Investment, LLC (Pointer Ridge). We own 62.50% of Pointer Ridge. Frank Lucente, one of our directors and a director of Old Line Bank, controls 12.50% of Pointer Ridge and controls the manager of Pointer Ridge. The purpose of Pointer Ridge is to acquire, own, hold for profit, sell, assign, transfer, operate, lease, develop, mortgage, refinance, pledge and otherwise deal with real property located at the intersection of Pointer Ridge Road and Route 301 in Bowie, Maryland. Pointer Ridge owns a commercial office building containing approximately 40,000 square feet and leases this space to tenants. We lease approximately 50% of this building for our main office and operate a branch of Old Line Bank from this address.
Summary of Recent Performance and Other Activities
     During one of the most challenging economic periods in the last thirty years, we are pleased to report continued profitability for 2009. Net income attributable to Old Line Bancshares, Inc. increased $280,032 or 15.95% for the year ended December 31, 2009. After inclusion of the dividends and accretion on the preferred stock issued under the U.S. Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Program in December 2008, net income available to common stockholders was $1.6 million or $0.40 per basic and diluted common share for the year ending December 31, 2009.
     The following events occurred during 2009.
    We maintained asset quality with total non-performing assets of $1.6 million (0.44% of total assets) and two other loans totaling approximately $581,000 past due between 30 and 89 days at year end.
 
    We increased the provision for loan losses by $485,000 from $415,000 to $900,000.
 
    The loan portfolio grew $33.9 million or 14.67%.
 
    Total deposits grew $54.9 million or 23.73%.
 
    We maintained liquidity and by all regulatory measures remained “well capitalized”.
 
    We recognized an increase in earnings on our investment in Pointer Ridge of approximately $145,000 inclusive of a non-recurring lease termination fee of approximately $158,000 recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2009.
 
    We recorded an approximately $159,000 gain from sale on investments.
 
    We incurred a $392,000 increase in FDIC insurance premiums inclusive of a $149,748 special assessment.

27


 

    We enhanced our core data processing system.
 
    We repurchased from the U.S. Treasury 7,000 shares of preferred stock and the warrant to purchase 141,892 share of our common stock that we issued to them in December 2008.
 
    We opened new branch locations in Crofton and Glen Dale, Maryland and moved our Greenbelt location to a permanent building.
 
    We added a team of four highly skilled loan officers to our staff.
     The following summarizes the highlights of our financial performance for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009 compared to the twelve month period ended December 31, 2008 (000’s):

     Growth Strategy
     We have based our strategic plan on the premise of enhancing stockholder value and growth through branching and operating profits. Our short-term goals include maintaining credit quality, creating an attractive branch network, expanding fee income, generating extensions of core banking services and using technology to maximize stockholder value. In the past 24 months, we have expanded in Prince George’s County and Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
     We opened a branch at 167-U Jennifer Road, Annapolis, Maryland in Anne Arundel County in September 2008. We hired the staff for this branch during the months of August and September of 2008. In February 2008, we opened a branch in Prince George’s County at 9658 Baltimore Avenue, College Park, Maryland in the same building as the loan production office that houses one of our teams of loan officers. We hired the Branch Manager and staff for this location in February 2008. On July 1, 2009, we opened a branch at 1641 State Route 3 North, Crofton, Maryland in Anne Arundel County. During July and August of 2009, we hired the staff for this location. In October 2009, we opened our branch in the Fairwood Office Park located at 12100 Annapolis Road, Suite 1, Glen Dale, Maryland. We hired the staff for this location during the third quarter of 2009.

     As previously reported, in December 2008, we increased our ownership in Pointer Ridge Office Investment, LLC from 50.00% to 62.50%. As a result, we now consolidate their results of operations and financial performance. During 2009, this consolidation caused an approximately $567,283 increase in non-interest revenue, a $413,610 increase in interest expense, a $526,494 reduction in occupancy expense and an $87,215 increase in non-interest expense.
     While many of our peer banks have experienced devastating financial losses, high delinquencies and record levels of charge-offs, we have managed to maintain profitability and asset quality in an extremely challenging environment while incurring increased FDIC insurance cost, increased operating costs associated with the new branches and a $485,000 increase in the loan loss provision for the twelve month period. We continue to remain cautiously optimistic that we will continue to successfully navigate through this difficult period. However, we also recognize that we are not immune to losses in our loan portfolio. If the unemployment rate continues to remain high and real estate values decline further, we anticipate that even our strong borrowers may experience financial difficulties as they continue to cope with declining revenues, diminishing cash flows and depreciating collateral values in their businesses. Therefore, we expect that we will continue to maintain a higher allowance for loan losses than we have historically required.
     Although the current economic climate continues to present significant challenges for our industry, we anticipate the bank will experience loan and deposit growth during 2010. We do expect that the current economic climate will cause a slower rate of loan growth in the future than we have historically experienced.
     With the opening of the Fairwood branch as discussed above, we have substantially completed our current branch expansion. Accordingly, we don’t anticipate opening any additional branches in the immediate future, although should we identify new branch locations that will support our long term growth plans we may open additional branches.
     Because of the new branches and the additional loan officers, we anticipate salaries and benefits expenses and other operating expenses will increase in 2010. We anticipate that, over time, income generated from the branches will offset any increase in expenses. We also expect that in 2010 Pointer Ridge will operate at a slight loss. We believe with these 10 branches, our lending staff, our corporate infrastructure and our solid balance sheet and strong capital position, we are positioned to focus our future efforts on improving earnings per share and enhancing stockholder value by capitalizing on the many opportunities available in the market.
     Other Opportunities
     We use the Internet and technology to augment our growth plans. Currently, we offer our customers image technology, Internet banking with on-line account access and bill payer service. In 2007, we began offering selected commercial customers the ability to remotely capture their deposits and electronically transmit them to us. This service has modestly increased equipment cost, reduced courier fees, and positively impacted deposit growth.
     In order to support our growth, provide improved management information capabilities and enhance the products and services we deliver to our customers, during the 1st quarter of 2009, we began enhancing our core data processing systems. We completed this process in April 2009. We anticipate that this new system will cause data processing costs to moderately increase. We will continue to evaluate cost effective ways that technology can enhance our management, products and services.
     We may take advantage of strategic opportunities presented to us via mergers occurring in our marketplace. For example, we may purchase branches that other banks close or lease branch space from other banks or hire additional loan officers. We currently have no specific plans to acquire existing financial institutions or branches thereof or to hire additional loan officers.

     Repayment of Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) Investment
     On July 15, 2009, we repurchased from the U.S. Treasury 7,000 shares of preferred stock that we issued to them in December 2008 under the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program through the Troubled Asset Relief Program. We paid the U.S. Treasury $7,058,333 to repurchase the preferred stock which reflects the liquidation value of the preferred stock and $58,333 of accrued but unpaid dividends. We have also repurchased at a fair market value of $225,000 the warrant to purchase 141,892 shares of our common stock that was issued to the U.S. Treasury in conjunction with the issuance of the preferred stock. For the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009, we recorded approximately $486,000 for the dividend due and the accretion of the preferred stock. After careful consideration, we determined that we would repay the U.S. Treasury and believe this repayment will be in the best long term interest of our stockholders.
Results of Operations
     Net Interest Income
     Net interest income is the difference between income on interest earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets. Earning assets are comprised primarily of loans, investments, and federal funds sold; interest bearing deposits and other borrowings make up the cost of funds. Non-interest bearing deposits and capital are also funding sources. Changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and funding sources along with changes in associated interest rates determine changes in net interest income.
     2009 compared to 2008
     Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2009 amounted to $10.6 million, which was $1.5 million or 16.48% greater than the 2008 level of $9.1 million. As discussed below and outlined in detail in the Rate/Volume Analysis, these changes were the result of interest earning assets growing at a faster rate than interest-bearing liabilities. A decline in interest rates on these interest earning assets partially offset this growth. The interest rate on interest bearing deposits also declined at a faster rate than the rate on interest earning assets. Changes in the federal funds rate and the prime rate affect the interest rates on interest earning assets, net interest income and net interest margin.
     The prime interest rate, which is the rate offered on loans to borrowers with strong credit, began 2008 at 7.25% and decreased 200 basis points in the first quarter, 25 basis points in the second quarter, 175 basis points in the fourth quarter and at year end 2008 was 3.25%. During 2009, the prime interest rate remained unchanged at 3.25% for the entire period. The intended federal funds rate has also moved in a similar manner to the prime interest rate. It began 2008 at 4.25% and decreased 200 basis points in the first quarter, 25 basis points in the second quarter and 175 to 200 basis points in the fourth quarter and ended the year of 2008 at zero to 0.25%. During 2009, the intended federal funds rate remained at zero to 0.25% for the entire period.
     We offset the effect on net interest income caused by these declines in interest rates primarily by growing total average interest earning assets $56.4 million to $308.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $252.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The growth in average interest earning assets derived primarily from a $37.1 million increase in average total loans, an $18.9 million growth in average investment securities and a $13.9 million increase in average interest bearing deposits in other banks. The growth in net interest income that derived from the increase in total average interest earning assets was also offset by growth in average interest bearing deposits which grew to $221.7 million from $165.6 million.
     Our net interest margin was 3.77% for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to 3.80% for the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in the net interest margin is the result of several components. The yield on average interest-earning assets declined during the period 57 basis points from 6.15% in 2008 to 5.58% in 2009. This decrease was primarily because of the lower federal funds interest yield and the lower prime rate during the year. As outlined above, we partially offset these rate reductions through growth in the loan portfolio. As a result of this growth, there were a higher percentage of funds invested in higher yielding commercial and mortgage loans during the period. The yield on borrowed funds increased 39 basis points during the period. The consolidation of Pointer Ridge’s assets, liabilities, and equity was the primary cause of the increase in the cost of borrowed funds.
     With our new branches and increased recognition in the Prince George’s County and Anne Arundel County markets, and with continued growth in deposits, we anticipate that we will continue to grow earning assets during

30


 

2010. If the Federal Reserve maintains the federal funds rate at current levels and the economy remains stable, we believe that we can continue to grow total loans and deposits in 2010. We also believe that we will maintain or improve the net interest margin during 2010. As a result of this growth and maintenance of the net interest margin, we expect that net interest income will increase during 2010, although there can be no guarantee that this will be the case.
     2008 compared to 2007
     Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2008 amounted to $9.1 million, which was $1.1 million or 13.75% greater than the 2007 level of $8.0 million. The increase was primarily attributable to a 19.66% or $41.4 million increase in total average interest earning assets to $252.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 from $210.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007.
     Interest revenue increased from $14.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $15.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. As discussed below and outlined in detail in the Rate/Volume Analysis, these changes were the result of substantial increases in earning assets. The increase in interest bearing assets was primarily caused by a $44.6 million increase in average total loans. As a result of this growth, there were a higher percentage of funds invested in higher yielding commercial and mortgage loans during the period.
     In order to fund this loan growth, we deployed funds from lower yielding investment securities and federal funds sold. The growth in average total loans was attributable to the business development efforts of the entire Old Line Bank lending team and directors and the expansion of our branch network. We believe that the continued expansion of our branch network provides us with increased name recognition and new opportunities that contributed to our growth.
     Interest expense for all interest bearing liabilities amounted to $5.9 million in 2008, which was $353,224 lower than the 2007 level of $6.3 million. Although average interest bearing deposits grew $24.7 million during the period and average borrowed funds increased $18.4 million, the rate paid on these funds decreased during the year.
     Our net interest margin was 3.80% for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to 3.98% for the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in the net interest margin is the result of several components. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 81 basis points during the period from 6.96% in 2007 to 6.15% in 2008, and average interest-earning assets grew by $41.4 million. During the period, interest rates declined dramatically and we experienced a 103 basis point decrease of the yield on average interest-bearing liabilities from 3.98% in 2007 to 2.95% in 2008.
     This decrease was because of the rapid reduction in the federal funds interest rate that the Federal Reserve implemented. We partially offset these rate reductions through growth in the loan portfolio, movement of federal funds into higher yielding investments and increased reliance on short term, low cost borrowing. During November and December of 2008, we moved funds from Federal Funds to higher earning investments and loans and placed more reliance on short term, low interest rate borrowings for loan funding.

     Provision for Loan Losses
     Originating loans involves a degree of risk that credit losses will occur in varying amounts according to, among other factors, the type of loans being made, the credit-worthiness of the borrowers over the term of the loans, the quality of the collateral for the loan, if any, as well as general economic conditions. We charge the provision for loan losses to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level considered by management to represent its best estimate of the losses known and inherent in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate, based on, among other factors, prior loss experience, volume and type of lending conducted, estimated value of any underlying collateral, economic conditions (particularly as such conditions relate to Old Line Bank’s market area), regulatory guidance, peer statistics, management’s judgment, past due loans in the loan portfolio, loan

charge off experience and concentrations of risk (if any). We charge losses on loans against the allowance when we believe that collection of loan principal is unlikely. We add back recoveries on loans previously charged to the allowance.
     The provision for loan losses was $900,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009. This represented a $485,000 or 116.87% increase as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008. We increased the provision for loan losses because we believe that although our asset quality remains strong, the longer the weaknesses in the economy exist the more difficult it becomes for even our strong borrowers to maintain profitability consistent with prior periods.
     At year end, we had $1.6 million in non-performing real estate loans. We also have two loans totaling approximately $581,000 past due between 30-89 days. As outlined below, we are currently working towards resolution with all of these borrowers.
     The provision for loan losses was $415,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to $318,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $97,000 or 30.50%. We increased the provision for loan losses because the real estate industry encountered difficulties, there was significant turbulence in the financial markets, unemployment was rising, and there was evidence of weakness in the general economy. After completing the analysis outlined below, we determined during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2008 that there were changes in economic factors that directly impacted the quality of the loan portfolio and warranted a higher provision.
     We review the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly. Our review includes evaluation of impaired loans as required by ASC Topic 310-Receivables, and ASC Topic 450-Contingencies. Also incorporated in determining the adequacy of the allowance is guidance contained in the SEC’s SAB No. 102, Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation; the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s Policy Statement on Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Methodologies and Documentation for Banks and Savings Institutions and the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses provided by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, National Credit Union Administration and Office of Thrift Supervision.
     We base the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses upon loan categories. We categorize loans as installment and other consumer loans (other than boat loans), boat loans, mortgage loans (commercial real estate, residential real estate and real estate construction) and commercial loans. We apply loss ratios to each category of loan other than commercial loans (including letters of credit and unused commitments). We further divide commercial loans by risk rating and apply loss ratios by risk rating, to determine estimated loss amounts. We evaluate delinquent loans and loans for which management has knowledge about possible credit problems of the borrower or knowledge of problems with loan collateral separately and assign loss amounts based upon the evaluation.
     We determine loss ratios for installment and other consumer loans (other than boat loans), boat loans and mortgage loans (commercial real estate, residential real estate and real estate construction) based upon a review of prior 18 months delinquency trends for the category, the three year loss ratio for the category, peer group loss ratios and industry standards.
     With respect to commercial loans, management assigns a risk rating of one through eight to each loan at inception, with a risk rating of one having the least amount of risk and a risk rating of eight having the greatest amount of risk. For commercial loans of less than $250,000, we may review the risk rating annually based on, among other things, the borrower’s financial condition, cash flow and ongoing financial viability; the collateral securing the loan; the borrower’s industry and payment history. We review the risk rating for all commercial loans in excess of $250,000 at least annually. We evaluate loans with a risk rating of five or greater separately and assign loss amounts based upon the evaluation. For loans with risk ratings between one and four, we determine loss ratios based upon a review of prior 18 months delinquency trends, the three year loss ratio, peer group loss ratios and industry standards.

34


 

     We also identify and make any necessary allocation adjustments for any specific concentrations of credit in a loan category that in management’s estimation increase the risk inherent in the category. If necessary, we will also make an adjustment within one or more loan categories for economic considerations in our market area that may impact the quality of the loans in the category. For all periods presented, there were no specific adjustments made for concentrations of credit. As discussed above, in 2008 and 2009 we increased our provision for loan losses for the periods in all segments of our portfolio as a result of economic considerations. We consider qualitative or environmental factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with our existing portfolio to differ from historical loss experience. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in lending policies and procedures, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending management and the effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in our existing portfolio.
     In the event that our review of the adequacy of the allowance results in any unallocated amounts, we reallocate such amounts to our loan categories based on the percentage that each category represents to total gross loans. We have risk management practices designed to ensure timely identification of changes in loan risk profiles. However, undetected losses inherently exist within the portfolio. We believe that the allocation of the unallocated portion of the reserve in the manner described above is appropriate. Although we may allocate specific portions of the allowance for specific credits or other factors, the entire allowance is available for any credit that we should charge off.
     We will not create a separate valuation allowance unless we consider a loan impaired. At December 31, 2009, we had three loans totaling $1.6 million past due and classified as non-accrual. The first loan has a balance of $810,291 and is the same loan that we reported in our December 31, 2008 financial statements. During 2009, we received $40,384 in payments on this loan. In the 4th quarter of 2009, we proceeded with obtaining a “lift stay” on this property and are waiting for ratification. Once received, we plan to foreclose on this property. The second loan is in the amount of $223,169. The value of the collateral is sufficient to provide repayment. We have foreclosed on the property and were waiting for ratification from the court as of December 31, 2009. In March 2010, we received ratification and we anticipate that we will hold the real estate for future sale. The third loan is a land development loan secured by real estate in the amount of $553,039. The borrower on this loan has filed bankruptcy. A recent appraisal of the property securing this loan indicates that the value of the collateral is sufficient to provide repayment. We plan to proceed with foreclosure on this property. We do not believe that any of these loans are impaired and we have not designated a specific allowance for any of these non-accrual loans. The total non-accrued interest on these loans at December 31, 2009 was $190,701.
     During the year ended December 31, 2009, we charged off a loan in the amount of approximately $195,000 to the allowance for loan losses. This charge-off was the result of one land developer who was unable to meet all of his financial obligations and advised us that he could no longer make any of his payments and there was no remaining value in the underlying collateral. During the third quarter, we also repossessed a boat with a loan balance of approximately $100,000. We charged $50,000 to the allowance for loan losses for anticipated losses on this repossession and have recorded the remaining value of the boat in other assets. We plan to sell this boat.
     In July 2009, we charged an additional $150,000 to the allowance for loan losses for the deficiency balance due on a $700,000 loan that was in non-accrual status until December 2009. In July, we restructured the remaining $550,000 of the loan balance and the borrower began remitting monthly payments. The borrower has submitted six monthly payments in a timely manner. As a result, we have taken this loan out of non-accrual status and we now classify it as an accrual loan. The remaining $7,000 charged to the allowance for loan losses in 2009 and the total $18,440 in 2008 and the $12,149 in 2007 were comprised of various immaterial deficiencies on several loans.

35


 

     Our policies require a review of assets on a regular basis, and we believe that we appropriately classify loans as well as other assets if warranted. We believe that we use the best information available to make a determination with respect to the allowance for loan losses, recognizing that the determination is inherently subjective and that future adjustments may be necessary depending upon, among other factors, a change in economic conditions of specific borrowers or generally in the economy, and new information that becomes available to us. However, there are no assurances that the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to absorb losses on non-performing assets, or that the allowance will be sufficient to cover losses on non-performing assets in the future.
     The allowance for loan losses represents 0.93% of total loans at December 31, 2009, 0.85% at December 31, 2008, and 0.78% at December 31, 2007. We have no exposure to foreign countries or foreign borrowers. Based on our analysis and the satisfactory historical performance of the loan portfolio, we believe this allowance appropriately reflects the inherent risk of loss in our portfolio.

     Non-interest Revenue
     2009 compared to 2008
     Non-interest revenue totaled $1.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $855,835 or 88.79%. Non-interest revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 included fee income from service charges on deposit accounts, gains on sales of investment securities, earnings on bank owned life insurance, income from our investment in real estate LLC (Pointer Ridge) and other fees and commissions.
     The following table outlines the changes in non-interest revenue for the twelve month periods.

     Although the number of customers increased, service charges on deposit accounts remained relatively stable because these customers used lower cost services. In an effort to minimize call and prepayment risk and manage future interest rate risk, we elected to sell available-for-sale securities during 2009. We recorded gains on these investments because the decline in market interest rates caused an increase in the securities’ value. In 2008, we sold a security because it no longer met our investment guidelines. The interest rates for these types of securities had increased which caused the security value to decline and we experienced a loss. Other fees and commissions increased primarily because we issued a higher dollar value of letters of credit that caused letter of credit fees to increase. We also had higher loan fees as a result of an increase in expired loan commitments and an increase in the number of loans that we settled during the year.
     As previously outlined, in November 2008, we acquired an additional 12.50% membership interest in Pointer Ridge. As a result of this purchase, our membership interest increased from 50.00% to 62.50%. Consequently, we consolidated Pointer Ridge’s results of operations from the date of acquisition. Prior to the date of acquisition, we accounted for our investment in Pointer Ridge using the equity method. This consolidation caused the earnings on our investment in real estate LLC to decline and Pointer Ridge rent and other revenue to increase during 2009.
     Because of the new lenders we have hired and the new branches that we have opened, we expect that customer relationships will grow during 2010. We anticipate this growth will cause an increase in service charges on deposit accounts. We believe the demand in the commercial real estate market will remain slow during 2010. As a result, we expect other loan fees which are included in other fees and commissions will either remain consistent with 2009 or decline slightly. As a result of declining interest rates, we expect our earnings on bank owned life insurance will decline slightly during 2010. We anticipate that Pointer Ridge will have a decline in earnings in 2010 and operate at a loss. In December 2008, one of the primary tenants in the Pointer Ridge building departed. In 2009, Pointer Ridge leased the space to a new tenant that has since departed and there are currently vacancies in the building. In 2009, Pointer Ridge also negotiated a settlement from the prior tenant. Therefore, we recorded a one time gain from this settlement in 2009.
     2008 compared to 2007
     Non-interest revenue totaled $963,932 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $209,382 or 17.85%. Non-interest revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 included fee income from service charges on deposit accounts, earnings on bank owned life insurance, income from our investment in real estate LLC (Pointer Ridge) and other fees and commissions. For the period ended December 31, 2007, non-interest revenue also included broker origination fees from the marine division.

  $ 963,932     $ 1,173,314     $ (209,382 )     (17.85 )%
 
                         
     Service charges on deposit accounts increased due to increases in the number of customers and the services they used. We did not earn any marine division broker origination fees during the period because we closed this division at the end of the third quarter of 2007. Earnings on bank owned life insurance increased because we invested an additional $4 million in February 2007. As a result, we had an additional thirty days of interest income on the investment in 2008. Other fees and commissions increased because of the consolidation of Pointer Ridge’s results of operations from the date of acquisition as outlined below. Other fees and commissions also increased

38


 

because in April 2007, we began leasing the Waldorf office space that we vacated in July 2006 and because of increases in loan income received from the repayment of a non-accrual loan. The consolidation of Pointer Ridge’s results of operations, as discussed above, caused the earnings on our investment in real estate LLC to decline and other fees and commissions to increase in 2008.
     Pointer Ridge’s earnings declined during the year because it had two tenants that did not pay their rent in a timely manner and they recorded a reserve for these uncollected rents. Additionally, operating expenses on the building increased during the year.
     Non-interest Expense
     2009 compared to 2008
     Non-interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 increased 25.55% or $1.9 million relative to the amount reported in 2008. The following chart outlines the changes in non-interest expenses for the period.

Total non-interest expenses
  $ 9,256,881     $ 7,372,778     $ 1,884,103       25.55 %
 
                         
     Salaries, employee benefits, equipment, data processing expenses, and other operating expenses increased primarily because of increased operating expenses from the two branches that we opened in 2008, two additional branches opened in 2009 and the new lending team that we hired in December 2009. As a result of the consolidation of Pointer Ridge, these increases and increases in occupancy expenses due to the new branches were partially offset by the elimination of $526,494 of rental expenses paid to Pointer Ridge. Benefits also increased because of the increase in stock option expenses for options granted in the first quarter of 2009. There were no options granted in 2008. In April of 2009, we converted our core data processing system to a new service provider. In addition to the impact from the new branches, the conversion also caused an increase in data processing costs. Non-interest expenses also increased because of a $410,701 increase in FDIC insurance premiums and Maryland State assessments, inclusive of the approximately $149,000 special assessment.
     For 2010, we anticipate non-interest expenses will increase. We will incur increased rent expense related to the new Fairwood, Crofton, College Park and Annapolis locations and increased operational expenses associated with these branches. We will also incur increased data processing costs because of these new branches and our new core processing system and increased FDIC insurance premiums.

     Salary and benefit expenses increased primarily because we opened the College Park, Greenbelt and Annapolis branches during the year and we hired new loan officers in April and September 2007. These increases were partially offset by the reduction in salary expense that we realized when we closed the marine division late in the third quarter of 2007 and terminated the employees associated with it. Additionally, stock based compensation expenses decreased from $173,714 in 2007 to $104,541 for the same period in 2008. The stock based compensation expense decreased because the Board of Directors did not receive any vested options in 2008 and they received 10,000 vested options in 2007.
     Occupancy and equipment expenses increased because of the opening of the new Greenbelt branch in June 2007, the College Park branch in February 2008, the Annapolis branch in September 2008, and annual rental increases. Data processing costs increased because of the new locations, new services provided by our data processor, and contractual increases. Other operating expenses increased primarily because of increased FDIC and state of Maryland insurance assessments, higher audit and exam fees, and increased business development expenses. The elimination of the costs associated with the marine division partially offset these increases.
Income Taxes
     2009 compared to 2008
     Income tax expense was $1,055,522 (33.20% of pre-tax income) for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $939,383 (34.91% of pre-tax income) for the same period in 2008. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to higher tax exempt interest income.
     2008 Compared to 2007
     Income tax expense was $939,383 (34.91% of pre-tax income) for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $789,053 (33.26% of pre-tax income) for the same period in 2007. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a decrease in interest on tax exempt securities as a percent of pre-tax income during the period and an increase in the state tax rate.
Net Income Available to Common Stockholders
     2009 compared to 2008
     Net income attributable to Old Line Bancshares increased $280,032 or 15.95% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009 to $2.0 million from $1.8 million for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2008. After inclusion of the dividends and accretion on the preferred stock issued under the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program in December 2008, net income available to common stockholders for the twelve month period

40


 

was $1.6 million. Earnings per basic and diluted common share were $0.40 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and $0.44 for the same period in 2008. The increase in net income was the result of a $1.5 million increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses and an $855,835 increase in non-interest revenue. This was partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in non-interest expense and a $116,139 increase in income taxes. Earnings per share decreased on a basic and diluted basis because of dividends and accretion on the preferred stock. This was partially offset by higher earnings and because we repurchased 217,085 shares of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2008 that caused the average number of common shares outstanding during 2009 to decline to 3,862,364 from 3,919,903 for the same period in 2008.
     2008 Compared to 2007
     Net income available to common shareholders was $1.7 million or $0.44 per basic and diluted common share for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2008, an increase of $143,680 or 9.08% compared to net income of $1.6 million or $0.37 per basic and diluted common share for the same period in 2007. The increase in net income was the result of a $1.1 million increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses. This was partially offset by a $209,382 decrease in non-interest revenue, a $598,227 increase in non-interest expense, the new 5% preferred stock dividend payable to the U.S. Treasury for its $7 million investment, and a $150,330 increase in income taxes. Earnings per share increased on a basic and diluted basis because of higher earnings and because we repurchased 217,085 shares of common stock during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2008 and 185,950 shares of common stock in the 4th quarter of 2007 that caused the average number of common shares outstanding to decline to 3,919,903 from 4,237,266 for the same period in 2007.
Analysis of Financial Condition
     Investment Securities
     Our portfolio consists primarily of time deposits in other banks, investment grade securities including U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, U.S. government sponsored entity securities, securities issued by states, counties and municipalities, mortgage-backed securities, and certain equity securities, including Federal Reserve Bank stock, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, Maryland Financial Bank stock and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank stock. We have prudently managed our investment portfolio to maintain liquidity and safety and we have never owned stock in Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or any of the more complex securities available in the market. The portfolio provides a source of liquidity, collateral for borrowings as well as a means of diversifying our earning asset portfolio. While we generally intend to hold the investment securities until maturity, we classify a significant portion of the investment securities as available for sale. We account for investment securities so classified at fair value and report the unrealized appreciation and depreciation as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of income tax effects. We account for investment securities classified in the held to maturity category at amortized cost. Although we will occasionally sell a security, generally, we invest in securities for the yield they produce and not to profit from trading the securities. There are no trading securities in the portfolio.
     The investment securities at December 31, 2009 amounted to $33.8 million, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 10.11%, from the December 31, 2008 amount of $37.6 million. Available for sale investment securities decreased to $28.0 million at December 31, 2009 from $29.6 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease in the available for sale investment securities occurred primarily because we deployed these funds into loans or other interest bearing deposits. Held to maturity securities at December 31, 2009 decreased to $5.8 million from the $8.0 million balance on December 31, 2008 because securities matured or were called during the period. The fair value of available for sale securities included net unrealized gains of $609,165 at December 31, 2009 (reflected as unrealized gains of $368,880 in stockholders’ equity after deferred taxes) as compared to net unrealized gains of $648,356 ($392,611 net of taxes) as of December 31, 2008. In general, the decrease in fair value was the result of increasing market rates. We have evaluated securities with unrealized losses for an extended period of time and determined that these losses are temporary because, at this point in time, we expect to hold them until maturity. We have no intent or plan to sell these securities, it is not likely that we will have to sell these securities and we have not identified any portion of the loss that is a result of credit deterioration in the issuer of the security. As the maturity date moves closer and/or interest rates decline, the unrealized losses in the portfolio will decline or dissipate.

41


 

     The investment securities at December 31, 2008 amounted to $37.6 million, an increase of $25.9 million, or 221.24%, from the December 31, 2007 amount of $11.7 million. Available for sale investment securities increased to $29.6 million at December 31, 2008 from $9.4 million at December 31, 2007. Held to maturity securities at December 31, 2008 increased to $8.0 million from $2.3 million. The increase in the available for sale investment and held to maturity securities occurred because as liquidity concerns in the market began to dissipate and interest rates declined, in the fourth quarter, we used federal funds to purchase securities. The fair value of available for sale securities included net unrealized gains of $648,356 at December 31, 2008 (reflected as unrealized gains of $392,611 in stockholders’ equity after deferred taxes) as compared to net unrealized losses of $49,127 ($29,749 net of taxes) as of December 31, 2007. In general, the increase in fair value was a result of maturities, decreasing interest rates on investments and changes in investment ratings. As required, we have evaluated securities with unrealized losses for an extended period of time and determined that these losses are temporary because, at this point in time, we expect to hold them until maturity. As the maturity date moves closer and/or interest rates decline, we expect the unrealized losses in the portfolio will decline or dissipate.
     The following table sets forth a summary of the investment securities portfolio as of the periods indicated. Available for sale securities are reported at estimated fair value; held to maturity securities are reported at amortized cost.

     Investment in real estate LLC
     On November 17, 2008, we purchased Chesapeake Custom Homes, L.L.C.’s 12.50% membership interest in Pointer Ridge, a real estate investment limited liability company. As a result of this purchase, our membership interest increased from 50.00% to 62.50%. Consequently, we consolidated Pointer Ridge’s results of operations from the date of acquisition. Prior to the date of acquisition, we accounted for our investment in Pointer Ridge using the equity method. The following table summarizes the condensed Balance Sheets and Statements of Income for Pointer Ridge.

     We purchased Chesapeake Custom Homes, L.L.C.’s 12.50% membership interest at the book value which was equivalent to the fair value. Accordingly, we did not record any goodwill with this purchase.
     We lease space for our headquarters office and branch location in the building owned by Pointer Ridge at 1525 Pointer Ridge Place, Bowie, Maryland. We eliminate these lease payments in consolidation. Frank Lucente, a director of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. and Old Line Bank, controls 12.50% of Pointer Ridge and controls the manager of Pointer Ridge.
     Loan Portfolio
     Loans secured by real estate or luxury boats comprise the majority of the loan portfolio. Old Line Bank’s loan customers are generally located in the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
     The loan portfolio, net of allowance, unearned fees and origination costs, increased $33.9 million or 14.67% to $265.0 million at December 31, 2009 from $231.1 million at December 31, 2008. Commercial business loans increased by $4.2 million (6.00%), commercial real estate loans increased by $13.2 million (11.91%), residential real estate loans (generally home equity and fixed rate home improvement loans) increased by $10.6 million (82.81%), real estate construction loans (primarily commercial real estate construction) increased by $7.5 million (32.05%) and consumer loans decreased by $1.0 million (6.41%) from their respective balances at December 31, 2008.
     The loan portfolio, net of allowance, unearned fees and origination costs increased $29.2 million or 14.46% to $231.1 million at December 31, 2008 from $201.9 million at December 31, 2007. Commercial business loans increased by $14.5 million (26.13%), commercial real estate loans (generally owner-occupied) increased by $14.8 million (15.42%), residential real estate loans (generally home equity and fixed rate home improvement loans) increased by $1.6 million (14.29%), real estate construction loans increased by $1.5 million (6.85%) and consumer loans decreased by $2.9 million (15.68%) from their respective balances at December 31, 2007.
     During 2009, we received scheduled loan payoffs on construction loans that negatively impacted our loan growth for the period. In spite of these payoffs, we experienced a 14.67% growth in the loan portfolio. We saw loan and deposit growth generated from our entire team of lenders, branch personnel and board of directors. We anticipate

44


 

the entire team will continue to focus their efforts on business development during 2010 and continue to grow the loan portfolio. However, continued deterioration in the economic climate may cause slower loan growth.

     At inception, the total loan and commitment amount were equivalent to an appraised 80% or less “as is” or “as developed” loan to value. We continually monitor these loans and where appropriate have received new appraisals on these properties, additional collateral, a payment on the principal, or have downgraded the risk rating on the loan and increased our loan loss provision accordingly. In certain cases, these loans have experienced a delay in the project either as a result of delays in receiving regulatory approvals or the borrower has elected to delay the project because the current economic climate has caused real estate values to decline. Although payments on these loans are current, management monitors their performance closely.
     At year end, with the exception of the three non-accrual loans and two loans that were 30-89 days past due, all of our loans were performing in accordance with contractual terms. Management has identified eight additional potential problem loans totaling $6.2 million. Management has concerns either about the ability of these borrowers to continue to comply with repayment terms because of the borrower’s potential operating or financial difficulties or the underlying collateral has experienced a decline in value. These weaknesses have caused management to heighten the attention given to these credits. During the 1st quarter of 2010, we placed one of these loans in the amount of $442,242 on non-accrual status. We proceeded with foreclosure on the real estate that secures this loan. At the foreclosure, there was a buyer for the property and we anticipate we will have no significant losses on this loan.
     Management generally classifies loans as non-accrual when it does not expect collection of full principal and interest under the original terms of the loan or payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due. Classifying a loan as non-accrual results in our no longer accruing interest on such loan and reversing any interest previously accrued but not collected. We will generally restore a non-accrual loan to accrual status when the borrower brings delinquent principal and interest payments current and we expect to collect future monthly principal and interest payments. We recognize interest on non-accrual loans only when received.
     As previously discussed in the provision for loan losses section of this report, at December 31, 2009, we had three loans totaling $1.6 million that were 90 days past due and were classified as non-accrual compared to one loan in the amount of $850,675 at December 31, 2008.
     During the first quarter of 2008, the borrower on the first non-accrual loan that has a balance of $810,291 began remitting payments and advised us that the borrower planned to make all past due interest and principal current prior to June 30, 2009. Through October 2008, the borrower remitted regular payments plus a portion of the arrearage. In November 2008, the borrower requested a revision to this repayment schedule with full repayment of all past due amounts to occur by May 2010. In October 2009, the Borrower re-entered bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. A commercial real estate property secures this loan. We have a hearing scheduled to obtain a “lift stay” on the property. Assuming the court provides the “lift stay” on the property, we plan to proceed with foreclosure on the property. The loan to value at inception of this loan was 80% and a recent appraisal indicates that the current loan principal to value is less than 80%. As of December 31, 2009, the interest not accrued on this loan was $149,406 none of which was included in net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. We have not designated a specific allowance for this non-accrual loan.

46


 

     The second loan is in the amount of approximately $223,000. The value of the collateral is sufficient to provide repayment and we do not consider this loan impaired. We have proceeded with foreclosure and received ratification of the foreclosure in March 2010. We have not designated a specific allowance for this non-accrual loan. As of December 31, 2009, the non-accrued interest due on this loan was $32,582 none of which was included in net income in the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009.
     The third loan in the amount of $553,039 is a land development loan secured by real estate. The borrower on this loan has filed bankruptcy. A recent appraisal of the property securing this loan indicates that the value of the collateral is sufficient to provide repayment and we do not consider this loan impaired. We plan to proceed with foreclosure on this property. The total non-accrued interest on this loan at December 31, 2009 was $8,713 none of which was included in net income in the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009.
     In March 2009, we reported that the borrower on an approximately $700,000 residential real estate mortgage filed bankruptcy. After receipt of an appraisal on the property, we have restructured this loan. In July, we charged $150,000 of the previously reported $175,000 allocated allowance to the allowance for loan losses. The borrower has reaffirmed $550,000 of the debt and began remitting payments. We returned this loan to accrual status in December after six months of satisfactory repayment history.

     We classify any property acquired as a result of foreclosure on a mortgage loan as foreclosed real estate and record it at the lower of the unpaid principal balance or fair value at the date of acquisition and subsequently carry the loan at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We charge any required write-down of the loan to its net realizable value against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure. We charge to expense any subsequent adjustments to net realizable value. Upon foreclosure, Old Line Bank generally requires an appraisal of the property and, thereafter, appraisals of the property on at least an annual basis and external inspections on at least a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, we held no real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure.
     As required by ASC Topic 310-Receivables and ASC Topic 450-Contingencies, we measure all impaired loans, which consist of all modified loans and other loans for which collection of all contractual principal and interest is not probable, 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. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, we recognize

48


 

impairment through a valuation allowance and corresponding provision for loan losses. Old Line Bank considers consumer loans as homogenous loans and thus does not apply the impairment test to these loans. We write off impaired loans when collection of the loan is doubtful.
     As of December 31, 2009 we had no impaired loans as outlined above and one restructured loan. At December 31, 2008, the only restructured loan was the $810,291 loan outlined above. A continued decline in the economy may adversely affect our asset quality.
     Bank owned life insurance
     In June 2005, we purchased $3.3 million of BOLI on the lives of our executive officers, Messrs. Cornelsen and Burnett and Ms. Rush. With a new $4 million investment made in February 2007, we increased the insurance on Messrs. Cornelsen and Burnett and expanded the coverage of the insurance policies to insure the lives of several other officers of Old Line Bank. We anticipate the earnings on these policies will partially offset our employee benefit expenses as well as our obligations under our Salary Continuation Agreements and Supplemental Life Insurance Agreements that we entered into with our executive officers in January 2006. Higher rates caused increased earnings during 2009 and the cash surrender value of the insurance policies increased by $326,840. There are no post retirement death benefits associated with the BOLI policies.
     On January 3, 2006, Old Line Bank entered into Salary Continuation Agreements and Supplemental Life Insurance Agreements, with Mr. Cornelsen, Mr. Burnett and Ms. Rush and started accruing for the related post retirement benefits. Under these agreements, benefits accrue over time from the date of the agreement until the executive reaches the age of 65. Upon full vesting of the benefit, the executives will be paid the following annual amounts for 15 years: Mr. Cornelsen — $159,738; Mr. Burnett — $24,651; and Ms. Rush — $77,783. Mr. Burnett will receive an additional $5,895 per year if he continues his employment with us until he reaches age 68. Under the Supplemental Life Insurance Agreements, Old Line Bank is obligated to cause the payment of death benefits to the executives’ designated beneficiaries in the following amounts: Mr. Cornelsen—$1.3 million; Mr. Burnett—$703,465; Ms. Rush—$797,618 ; and all other officers-$1.8 million. Old Line Bank has funded these obligations through the BOLI outlined above. There is no obligation to provide any of the insured executives’ beneficiaries post retirement benefits from the BOLI.
     Deposits
     We seek deposits within our market area by paying competitive interest rates, offering high quality customer service and using technology to deliver deposit services effectively.
     At December 31, 2009, the deposit portfolio had grown to $286.3 million, a $54.9 million or 23.73% increase over the December 31, 2008 level of $231.4 million. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $1.0 million during the period to $40.9 million from $39.9 million primarily due to the establishment of new customer demand deposit accounts and expansion of existing demand deposit accounts. Interest-bearing deposits grew $53.9 million to $245.5 million from $191.6 million. Approximately $40.3 million of the increase in interest bearing deposits was in certificates of deposit, $11.5 million was in money market accounts and $2.1 million was in savings accounts. The growth in these categories was the result of expansion of existing customer relationships and new customers. Although we offer competitive interest rates on our interest bearing deposits, we believe that our growth in these deposits is a result of the customers’ desire to bank with a quality institution versus high rates.
     At December 31, 2008, the deposit portfolio had grown to $231.4 million, a $53.6 million or 30.15% increase over the December 31, 2007 level of $177.8 million. Non-interest bearing deposits increased $4.8 million during the period to $39.9 million from $35.1 million primarily due to increases in commercial checking accounts that was caused by new accounts established in our branches. Interest-bearing deposits grew $48.9 million to $191.6 million from $142.7 million. The growth in interest-bearing deposits was in certificates of deposit which grew $52.0 million from $102.2 million to $154.2 million. A $2.0 million decline in money market and NOW and a $1.1 million decline in savings accounts partially offset this growth. Certificate of deposit accounts grew due to new customer relationships and the transfer of funds from savings accounts.

     In the first quarter of 2006, we began acquiring brokered certificate of deposits through the Promontory Interfinancial Network. Through this deposit matching network and its certificate of deposit account registry service (CDARS), we obtained the ability to offer our customers access to FDIC-insured deposit products in aggregate amounts exceeding current insurance limits. When we place funds through CDARS on behalf of a customer, we receive matching deposits through the network’s reciprocal deposit program. We can also place deposits through this network without receiving matching deposits. At December 31, 2009, we had $31.8 million in CDARS through the reciprocal deposit program compared to $13.5 million at December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2009, we had received $25.2 million in deposits through the CDARS network that were not reciprocal deposits. We had $5 million in other brokered certificates of deposit as of December 31, 2008 and $0 as of December 31, 2009 and 2007. We expect that we will continue to use brokered deposits as an element of our funding strategy when required to maintain an acceptable loan to deposit ratio.
          The following is a summary of the maturity distribution of certificates of deposit as of December 31, 2009.

     Borrowings
     Old Line Bank has available lines of credit, including overnight federal funds and repurchase agreements from its correspondent banks totaling $32.0 million as of December 31, 2009. Old Line Bank has an additional secured line of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) of $103.7 million at December 31, 2009 and $85.4 million at December 31, 2008. As a condition of obtaining the line of credit from the FHLB, the FHLB requires that Old Line Bank purchase shares of capital stock in the FHLB. Prior to allowing Old Line Bank to borrow under the line of credit, the FHLB also requires that Old Line Bank provide collateral to support borrowings. Therefore, we have provided collateral to support up to $39.3 million of borrowings. Of this, we had borrowed $15 million at December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007. We may increase availability by providing additional collateral.
     Short term borrowings consisted of short term promissory notes issued to Old Line Bank’s customers, federal funds purchased and advances from the FHLB. Old Line Bank has an enhancement to the basic non-interest bearing demand deposit account for its commercial clients. This service electronically sweeps excess funds from the customer’s account into an interest bearing Master Note with Old Line Bank. These Master Notes re-price daily and have maturities of 270 days or less. At December 31, 2009, Old Line Bank had $11.1 million outstanding in these short term promissory notes with an average interest rate of 0.50%. At December 31, 2008, Old Line Bank had $17.8 million outstanding with an average interest rate of 0.50%. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, Old Line Bank did not have any borrowings in overnight federal funds with the FHLB or any other short term borrowings.
     At December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, Old Line Bank had three advances in the amount of $5.0 million each, from the FHLB totaling $15.0 million. On November 24, 2007, Old Line Bank borrowed $5.0 million with an interest rate of 3.66%. Interest is due on the 23rd day of each February, May, August and November,

commencing on February 23, 2008. On November 23, 2008, or any interest payment date thereafter, the FHLB has the option to convert the interest rate on this advance from a fixed rate to a three (3) month London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) based variable rate. Old Line Bank must pay this advance in full on November 23, 2010.
     On December 12, 2007, Old Line Bank borrowed another $5.0 million from the FHLB. The interest rate on this advance is 3.3575% and interest is payable on the 12th day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on March 12, 2008. On December 12, 2008, or any interest payment date thereafter, the FHLB has the option to convert the interest rate on this advance to a fixed rate based on the three (3) month LIBOR. The maturity date on this advance is December 12, 2012.
     On December 19, 2007, Old Line Bank borrowed an additional $5.0 million from the FHLB. The interest rate on this borrowing is 3.119% and is payable on the 19th day of each month. On January 22, 2008 or any interest payment date thereafter, the FHLB has the option to convert the interest rate on this advance from a fixed rate to a one (1) month LIBOR based variable rate. This borrowing matures on December 19, 2012.
     As outlined previously, as a result of increasing our membership interest in Pointer Ridge to 62.50%, we have consolidated their results of operation from the date of acquisition. Prior to the date of acquisition, we accounted for our investment in Pointer Ridge using the equity method. On August 25, 2006, Pointer Ridge entered into an Amended and Restated Promissory Note in the principal amount of $6.6 million. This loan accrues interest at a rate of 6.28% through September 5, 2016. After September 5, 2016, the rate adjusts to the greater of (i) 6.28% plus 200 basis points or (ii) the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Amended Promissory Note) plus 200 basis points. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, Pointer Ridge had borrowed $6.5 million under the Amended Promissory Note. We have guaranteed to the lender payment of up to 62.50% of the loan payment plus any costs the lender incurs resulting from any omissions or alleged acts or omissions by Pointer Ridge arising out of or relating to misapplication or misappropriation of money, rents received after an event of default, waste or damage to the property, failure to maintain insurance, fraud or material misrepresentation, filing of bankruptcy or Pointer Ridge’s failure to maintain its status as a single purpose entity.
     For additional information about our borrowings, see Notes 10 and 11 to our consolidated financial statements.
     Liquidity
     Our overall asset/liability strategy takes into account our need to maintain adequate liquidity to fund asset growth and deposit runoff. Our management monitors the liquidity position daily in conjunction with Federal Reserve guidelines. We have credit lines unsecured and secured available from several correspondent banks totaling $32.0 million. Additionally, we may borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. We can use these credit facilities in conjunction with the normal deposit strategies, which include pricing changes to increase deposits as necessary. We can also sell or pledge investment securities to create additional liquidity. From time to time we may sell or participate out loans to create additional liquidity as required. Additional sources of liquidity include funds held in time deposits and cash from the investment and loan portfolios.
     Our immediate sources of liquidity are cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and time deposits in other banks. On December 31, 2009, we had $7.4 million in cash and due from banks, $4.0 million in interest bearing accounts with other banks, $81,138 in federal funds sold and overnight investments and $15.0 million in time deposits in other banks. As of December 31, 2008, we had $8.8 million in cash and due from banks, $2.1 million in federal funds sold and other overnight investments and $13.3 million in time deposits in other banks. Federal funds decreased because we deployed these funds to loans.
     Old Line Bank has sufficient liquidity to meet its loan commitments as well as fluctuations in deposits. We usually retain maturing certificates of deposit as we offer competitive rates on certificates of deposit. Management is not aware of any demands, trends, commitments, or events that would result in Old Line Bank’s inability to meet anticipated or unexpected liquidity needs.

51


 

     During the recent period of turmoil in the financial markets, some institutions experienced large deposit withdrawals that caused liquidity problems. We did not have any significant withdrawals of deposits or any liquidity issues. Although we plan for various liquidity scenarios, if turmoil in the financial markets occurs and our depositors lose confidence in us, we could experience liquidity issues.
Capital
     Our stockholders’ equity amounted to $36.6 million at December 31, 2009 and $42.3 million at December 31, 2008. We are considered “well capitalized” under the risk-based capital guidelines adopted by the Federal Reserve. Stockholders’ equity decreased during the twelve month period primarily because of the $7.2 million repurchase of the preferred stock and warrant issued to the U.S. Treasury, the net value of the dividends and accretion on the preferred stock of $485,993, the $463,483 common stock cash dividend and the $23,731 after tax unrealized loss on available for securities. These items were partially offset by net income attributable to Old Line Bancshares, Inc. of $2.0 million and the $119,711 adjustment for stock based compensation awards. By all regulatory measures, we remain well capitalized.
     The following table shows Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s regulatory capital ratios and the minimum capital ratios currently required by its banking regulator to be “well capitalized.” For a discussion of these capital requirements, see “Supervision and Regulation — Capital Adequacy Guidelines.”

Contractual Obligations, Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, and Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
     We are party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business. These financial instruments primarily include commitments to extend credit, lines of credit and standby letters of credit. We use these financial instruments to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. These do not represent unusual risks and management does not anticipate any losses which would have a material effect on Old Line Bancshares, Inc. We also have operating lease obligations.
     Outstanding loan commitments and lines and letters of credit at December 31 of 2009, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:

Commitments to extend credit and available credit lines:

  $ 21,153     $ 23,074     $ 15,506

Standby letters of credit
  $ 3,883     $ 1,583     $ 1,634  
 
                 
     Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. We generally require collateral to support financial instruments with credit risk on the same basis as we do for balance sheet instruments. Management generally bases the collateral required on the credit evaluation of the counter party. Commitments generally have interest rates fixed at current market rates, expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Available credit lines represent the unused portion of lines of credit previously extended and available to the customer so long as there is no violation of any contractual condition. These lines generally have variable interest rates. Since we expect many of the commitments to expire without being drawn upon, and since it is unlikely that customers will draw upon their lines of credit in full at any time, the total commitment amount or line of credit amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis. During this period of economic turmoil, we have re-evaluated many of our commitments to extend credit. Because we conservatively underwrite these facilities at inception, we have not had to withdraw any commitments. We are not aware of any loss that we would incur by funding our commitments or lines of credit.
     Commitments for real estate development and construction, which totaled $14.6 million, or 32.66% of the $44.7 million, are generally short-term and turn over rapidly, with principal repayment from permanent financing arrangements upon completion of construction or from sales of the properties financed.
     Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer is the contract amount of the commitment. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. In general, loan commitments, credit lines and letters of credit are made on the same terms, including with respect to collateral, as outstanding loans. We evaluate each customer’s credit-worthiness and the collateral required on a case-by-case basis.

     We have various financial obligations, including contractual obligations and commitments. The following table presents, as of December 31, 2009, significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations to third parties by payment date.

     Our operating lease obligations represent rental payments for eight branches, a loan production office and our main office. We lease our main office and our Bowie branch location from Pointer Ridge. We have excluded 62.50% of these lease payments in consolidation. The interest-bearing obligations include accrued interest. Purchase obligations amounts represent estimated obligations under agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding. In 2009, the purchase obligations amounts include principal and interest due on participation loans, estimated obligations under data processing contracts, income tax payable and accounts payable for goods and services. In subsequent years, the purchase obligations amounts primarily relate to estimated obligations under data processing contracts.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices and Seasonality
     Management has prepared the financial statements and related data presented herein in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
     Unlike industrial companies, virtually all 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. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, and may frequently reflect government policy initiatives or economic factors not measured by price index. As discussed in Item 7A, we strive to manage our interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to offset the effects of rate changes and inflation.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
     We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and follow general practices within the industry in which we operate. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We base these estimates, assumptions, and judgments on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available.
     The most significant accounting policies that we follow are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in this financial review, provide information on how we value significant assets and liabilities in the financial statements and how we determine those values. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified the determination of the allowance for loan losses as the accounting area that requires the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.
     The allowance for loan losses represents management’s best estimate of the losses known and inherent in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate, based on, among other factors, prior loss experience, volume and type of lending conducted, estimated value of any underlying collateral, economic conditions (particularly as such conditions relate to Old Line Bank’s market area), regulatory guidance, peer statistics, management’s judgment, past due loans in the loan portfolio, loan charge off experience and concentrations of risk (if any). Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments. The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset type on the consolidated balance sheets.
     We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based upon loan categories except for delinquent loans and loans for which management has knowledge about possible credit problems of the borrower or knowledge of problems with loan collateral, which management evaluates separately and assigns loss amounts based upon the evaluation. We apply loss ratios to each category of loan other than commercial loans (including letters of credit and unused commitments), where we further divide the loans by risk rating and apply loss ratios by risk rating, to

57


 

determine estimated loss amounts. Categories of loans are installment and other consumer loans (other than boat loans), boat loans, mortgage loans (commercial real estate, residential real estate and real estate construction) and commercial loans.
     Management has significant discretion in making the judgments inherent in the determination of the provision and allowance for loan losses, including in connection with the valuation of collateral and the financial condition of the borrower, and in establishing loss ratios and risk ratings. The establishment of allowance factors is a continuing exercise and allowance factors may change over time, resulting in an increase or decrease in the amount of the provision or allowance based upon the same volume and classification of loans.
     Changes in allowance factors or in management’s interpretation of those factors will have a direct impact on the amount of the provision, and a corresponding effect on income and assets. Also, errors in management’s perception and assessment of the allowance factors could result in the allowance not being adequate to cover losses in the portfolio, and may result in additional provisions or charge-offs, which would adversely affect income and capital. For additional information regarding the allowance for loan losses, see the “Provision for Loan Losses” section of this financial review.
New Authoritative Accounting Guidance
     On July 1, 2009, the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the Federal Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) officially recognized source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applicable to all public and non-public companies, non-governmental entities, superseding existing FASB, ACIPA, EITF and related literature. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the way companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section, and Paragraph structure.
     FASB ASC Topic 260-Earnings Per Share. On January 1, 2009, we adopted new authoritative accounting guidance under FASB ASC Topic 260-Earnings Per Share which provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and entities shall include these participating securities in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. We adopted ASC Topic 260 and it did not have any impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
     FASB ASC Topic 320-Investments-Debt and Equity Securities. New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 320-Investments-Debt and Equity Securities (i) changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to debt securities and (ii) replaces the existing requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. Under ASC Topic 320, entities that deem that the declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost are other than temporary will reflect these other than temporary losses in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. Entities will record the amount of the impairment related to other factors in other comprehensive income. ASC Topic 320 became effective for interim and annual reporting periods ended after June 15, 2009. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
     FASB ASC Topic 715-Compensation Retirement Benefits. New authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 715-Compensation Retirement Benefits provides guidance related to an employer’s disclosure about plan assets of defined benefit pension or other post-retirement benefit plans. Under ASC Topic 715, disclosures should provide users of financial statements with an understanding of how managers of the plan make allocation decisions, the factors that are pertinent to an understanding of investment policies and strategies, the major categories of plan assets, the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets, the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets for the period and significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. ASC Topic 715 becomes effective for financial statements beginning with

58


 

the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
     FASB ASC Topic 805- Business Combinations. The new authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations became applicable to how we account for business combinations closing on or after January 1, 2009. ASC Topic 805 applies to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. ASC Topic 805 requires an acquirer, upon initially obtaining control of another entity, to recognize the assets, liabilities and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition date. The acquirer must recognize and measure at fair value contingent consideration when the acquirer can determine the amount of that consideration beyond a reasonable doubt. The fair value approach replaces the cost-allocation process required under previous accounting guidance whereby the cost of an acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value. ASC Topic 805 requires the acquirer to expense acquisition related costs as incurred rather than allocating such costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as was previously the case under prior accounting guidance. If the acquirer cannot reasonably estimate the value of the asset or liability, the acquirer would generally recognize the value of the asset or liability in accordance with ASC Topic 450-Contingencies. Under ASC Topic 805, in order for the acquirer to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting it must meet the requirements of ASC Topic 420-Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. The acquirer is to recognize contingencies at fair value, unless the contingencies are not likely to materialize, in which case, the acquirer should not recognize anything in purchase accounting and, instead, that contingency would be subject to the probable and estimable recognition criteria of ASC Topic 450-Contingencies. We did not have any business combination closing on or after January 1, 2009 and the adoption of ASC Topic 805 did not impact our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
     FASB ASC Topic 810-Consolidation. New authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 810 amended prior guidance to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Under ASC Topic 810, a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as a minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that the consolidated entity should report as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among other requirements, ASC Topic 810 requires consolidated net income be reported at amounts attributable to both the parent and non-controlling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. ASC Topic 810 became effective on January 1, 2009, and it affected the way we reported the non-controlling interest in Pointer Ridge, but it did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
     Further new authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 810 amends prior guidance to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled though voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. ASC Topic 810 requires a company to determine whether to consolidate an entity based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The new authoritative guidance requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its effect on the entity’s financial statements. The new authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 810 will be effective January 1, 2010 and we do not expect that it will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
     FASB ASC Topic 820-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. New authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 820-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that the company would receive to sell the asset in an orderly transaction, and clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether there is a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is not active. ASC Topic 820 requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence. The new accounting guidance amended prior guidance to expand certain disclosure requirements. We adopted the new accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820 during the first quarter of 2009. Adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

59


 

     Further new authoritative accounting guidance (Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-5) under ASC Topic 820 provides guidance for measuring fair value of a liability in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available. In such instances, a reporting entity must measure fair value utilizing a valuation technique that uses (i) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, (ii) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, iii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the existing principles of ASC Topic 820, such as an income approach or market approach. The new accounting guidance also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. The forgoing new authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 820 was effective for our financial statements beginning October 1, 2009 and it did not have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
     FASB ASC Topic 825-Financial Instruments. New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 825 Financial Instruments requires an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information and amends prior guidance to require these disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. We include the new interim disclosures required under Topic 825 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
     FASB ASC Topic 855-Subsequent Events. New authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 855 Subsequent Events establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before an entity issues financial statements or the entity has the financial statements available for issuance. ASC Topic 855 defines (i) the period after the balance sheet during which a reporting entity’s management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This new authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 855 became effective for financial statements for periods ending after June 15, 2009 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operation or financial position.
     FASB ASC Topic 860-Transfers and Servicing. New authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 860-Transfers and Servicing amends prior accounting guidance to enhance reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred, financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The new authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 860 will be effective January 1, 2010 and we do not expect that it will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operation or financial position.
Item 7A.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument. Various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices, may cause these changes. We are subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on our portfolio of assets and liabilities. Foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices do not pose significant market risk to us.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis and Interest Rate Risk Management
     A principal objective of Old Line Bank’s asset/liability management policy is to minimize exposure to changes in interest rates by an ongoing review of the maturity and re-pricing of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Asset and Liability Committee of the Board of Directors oversees this review.

60


 

     The Asset and Liability Committee establishes policies to control interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate sensitivity is the volatility of a bank’s earnings resulting from movements in market interest rates. Management monitors rate sensitivity in order to reduce vulnerability to interest rate fluctuations while maintaining adequate capital levels and acceptable levels of liquidity. Monthly financial reports supply management with information to evaluate and manage rate sensitivity and adherence to policy. Old Line Bank’s asset/liability policy’s goal is to manage assets and liabilities in a manner that stabilizes net interest income and net economic value within a broad range of interest rate environments. Adjustments to the mix of assets and liabilities are made periodically in an effort to achieve dependable, steady growth in net interest income regardless of the behavior of interest rates in general.
     As part of the interest rate risk sensitivity analysis, the Asset and Liability Committee examines the extent to which Old Line Bank’s assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive and monitors the interest rate sensitivity gap. An interest rate sensitive asset or liability is one that, within a defined time period, either matures or experiences an interest rate change in line with general market rates. The interest rate sensitivity gap is the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities scheduled to mature or re-price within such time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income, while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of declining interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income. If re-pricing of assets and liabilities were equally flexible and moved concurrently, the impact of any increase or decrease in interest rates on net interest income would be minimal.
     Old Line Bank currently has a negative gap over the short term, which suggests that the net interest income on interest earning assets may decrease during periods of rising interest rates. However, a simple interest rate “gap” analysis by itself may not be an accurate indicator of how changes in interest rates will affect net interest income. Changes in interest rates may not uniformly affect income associated with interest-earning assets and costs associated with interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, the magnitude and duration of changes in interest rates may have a significant impact on net interest income. Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of re-pricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities fluctuate in advance of changes in general market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in general market rates. In the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels also could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the interest-rate gap. The ability of many borrowers to service their debts also may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

     The table below presents Old Line Bank’s interest rate sensitivity at December 31, 2009. Because certain categories of securities and loans are prepaid before their maturity date even without regard to interest rate fluctuations, we have made certain assumptions to calculate the expected maturity of securities and loans.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Old Line Bancshares, Inc.
Bowie, Maryland
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Old Line Bancshares, Inc. & Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    Organization and Description of Business-Old Line Bancshares, Inc. (Bancshares) is the holding company for Old Line Bank (Bank). We provide a full range of banking services to customers located in Anne Arundel, Charles, Prince George’s and St. Mary’s counties in Maryland and surrounding areas.
 
    On November 17, 2008, we purchased Chesapeake Custom Homes, L.L.C.’s 12.5% membership interest in Pointer Ridge Office Investment, LLC (Pointer Ridge), a real estate investment company. The effective date of the purchase was November 1, 2008. As a result of this purchase, our membership interest increased from 50.0% to 62.5%. Consequently, we consolidated Pointer Ridge’s results of operations from the date of acquisition. Prior to the date of acquisition, we accounted for our investment in Pointer Ridge using the equity method.
 
    Basis of Presentation and Consolidation-The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the activity of Bancshares, its wholly owned subsidiary, Old Line Bank, and its majority owned membership interest in Pointer Ridge. We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions and balances.
 
    We report the non-controlling interests in Pointer Ridge separately in the consolidated balance sheet. We reported the income of Pointer Ridge attributable to Bancshares from the date of our acquisition of majority interest on the consolidated statement of income.
 
    Use of estimates-The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.
 
    Cash and cash equivalents-For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold. Generally, we purchase and sell federal funds for one-day periods.
 
    Time deposits in other banks-We record time deposits in other banks at cost. All time deposits in other banks mature within one year.
 
    Investment securities-As we purchase securities, management determines if we should classify the securities as held to maturity, available for sale or trading. We record the securities which management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity at amortized cost which is cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. We classify securities which we may sell before maturity as available for sale and carry these securities at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in stockholders’ equity on an after tax basis. Management has not identified any investment securities as trading.
 
    We record gains and losses on the sale of securities on the trade date and determine these gains or losses using the specific identification method. We amortize premiums and accrete discounts using the interest method.
 
    Stock options-We account for individual stock options under the fair value method of accounting using a Black-Scholes valuation model to measure stock-based compensation expense at the date of grant. For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $119,711, $104,541, and $173,714 respectively.

71


 

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
    We may only recognize tax benefits for options that ordinarily will result in a tax deduction when the grant is exercised (non-qualified options). For the year ended December 31, 2009, we recognized an $8,298 tax benefit associated with the portion of the expense that was related to the issuance of non-qualified options. There were no non-qualified options included in the expense calculation for the year ended December 31, 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we recognized a $12,141 tax benefit.
 
    Premises and equipment-We record premises and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Generally we compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets.
 
    Foreclosed real estate-We record real estate acquired through foreclosure at the lower of cost or fair market value on the date acquired. We charge losses incurred at the time of acquisition of the property to the allowance for loan losses. We include subsequent reductions in the estimated value of the property in non-interest expense.
 
    Advertising-We expense advertising costs over the life of ad campaigns. We expense general purpose advertising as we incur it.
 
    Loans and allowance for loan losses-We report loans at face value plus deferred origination costs, less deferred origination fees and the allowance for loan losses. We accrue interest on loans based on the principal amounts outstanding. We amortize origination fees and costs to income over the terms of the loans using an approximate interest method.
 
    We discontinue the accrual of interest when any portion of the principal or interest is ninety days past due and collateral is insufficient to discharge the debt in full. Based on current information, we consider loans impaired when management determines that it is unlikely that the borrower will make principal and interest payments according to contractual terms. Generally, we do not review loans for impairment until we have discontinued the accrual of interest. We consider several factors in determining impairment including payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Usually, we do not classify loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case by case basis. We consider all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. We measure impairment on a loan by loan basis for commercial and real estate loans by determining either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If it is doubtful that we will collect principal, we apply all payments to principal.
 
    We collectively evaluate large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans for impairment. Accordingly, we do not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.
 
    The allowance for loan losses represents an amount which, in management’s judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans and other extensions of credit that may become uncollectible. Management bases its judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance on evaluations of the collectibility of loans. Management takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay, overall portfolio quality, and review of specific problem areas. If the current economy or real estate market continues to suffer a severe downturn, we may need to increase the estimate for uncollectible accounts. We charge off loans which we deem uncollectible and deduct them from the allowance. We add recoveries on loans previously charged off to the allowance.

72


 

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
    Income taxes-The provision for income taxes includes taxes payable for the current year and deferred income taxes. We determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which we expect the differences to reverse. We allocate tax expense and tax benefits to Bancshares and its subsidiaries based on their proportional share of taxable income.
 
    Earnings per share-We determine basic earnings per common share by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding giving retroactive effect to stock dividends.
 
    We calculate diluted earnings per common share by including the average dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options and warrants, calculated using the treasury stock method.
                         
December 31,   2009   2008   2007
 
Weighted average number of shares
    3,862,364       3,919,903       4,237,266  
Dilutive average number of shares
    7,102       3,320       6,038  
    Comprehensive income-Comprehensive income includes net income attributable to Bancshares and the unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities available for sale net of related income taxes.
 
    Accounting Standards Codification-The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) became effective on July 1, 2009. At that date, ASC became FASB’s officially recognized source of authoritative United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to all public and non-public, non-governmental entities, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) and related literature. Rules and interpretive releases of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to ASC affects the way companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure.
 
    Reclassifications-We have made certain reclassifications to the 2008 and 2007 financial presentation to conform to the 2009 presentation.
 
2.   Cash and Equivalents
 
    The Bank may carry balances with other banks that exceed the federally insured limit. In 2009, the average balance exceeded the federally insured limit by $11,263,538. The average balances in 2008 and 2007 did not exceed the federally insured limit. The Bank also sells federal funds on an unsecured basis to the same banks. The average balance sold was $458,457, $13,342,150 and $21,525,420 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
    Federal banking regulators require banks to carry non-interest bearing cash reserves at specified percentages of deposit balances. The Bank’s normal amount of cash on hand and on deposit with other banks is sufficient to satisfy the reserve requirements.

    We consider all unrealized losses on securities as of December 31, 2009 to be temporary losses because we will redeem each security at face value at or prior to maturity. In most cases, market interest rate fluctuations cause a temporary impairment in value. The Bank has the intent and ability to hold these securities until recovery or maturity.
 
    During the year ended December 31, 2009, we received $4,243,654 in proceeds from the sale of investment securities and recorded gross realized gains of $158,551 from the sale of available-for-sale securities. During 2008, proceeds from sales of investment securities were $141,919 resulting in gross losses of $3,081. There were no sales of securities in 2007.

3.   Investment Securities (Continued)
 
    Contractual maturities and pledged securities at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, are shown below. Actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties. We classify mortgage backed securities based on maturity date. However, the Bank receives payments on a monthly basis.

4.   Credit Commitments
 
    The Bank is party to financial instruments with off balance sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the financing needs of customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, available credit lines and standby letters of credit.
                         
December 31,   2009     2008     2007  
 
Commitments to extend credit and available credit lines:
                       
Commercial
  $ 21,153,839     $ 23,073,938     $ 15,506,189  
Real estate undisbursed development and construction
    14,573,064       21,980,974       35,966,127  
Consumer
    9,014,671       6,378,630       6,142,229  
 
                 
 
                       
 
  $ 44,741,574     $ 51,433,542     $ 57,614,545  
 
                 
 
                       
Standby letters of credit
  $ 3,882,806     $ 1,582,717     $ 1,634,022  
 
                 
    Loan commitments and lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition to the contract. Loan commitments generally have variable interest rates, fixed expiration dates, and may require payment of a fee. Lines of credit generally have variable interest rates. Such lines do not represent future cash requirements because it is unlikely that all customers will draw upon their lines in full at any time. Letters of credit are commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.
 
    The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer is the contractual amount of the commitment. Loan commitments, lines of credit, and letters of credit are made on the same terms, including collateral, as outstanding loans. Management is not aware of any accounting loss it would incur by funding its outstanding commitments.

Ending balance
  $ 2,481,716     $ 1,983,751     $ 1,586,737  
 
                 
At December 31, 2009, we had three loans totaling $1,586,499 past due and classified as non-accrual. The first loan is the same loan that we reported in our December 31, 2008 financial statements and described below. During 2009, we received $40,384 in payments on this loan and the current balance is $810,291. In October 2009, the Borrower re-entered bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. We have a hearing scheduled to obtain “a lift stay” on the commercial property that secures this loan. Assuming the court provides the “lift stay” on the property, we plan to proceed with foreclosure on the property. The second loan is in the amount of $223,169. The value of the collateral is sufficient to provide repayment and we do not consider this loan impaired. We have foreclosed on the property and were awaiting ratification from the court. Once we receive ratification, we anticipate that we will hold the real estate for future sale. The third loan is a land development loan secured by real estate in the amount of $553,039. The borrower on this loan has filed bankruptcy. A recent appraisal of the property securing this loan indicates that the value of the collateral is sufficient to provide repayment and we do not consider this loan impaired. We plan to proceed with foreclosure on this property. We have not designated a specific allowance for any of these non-accrual loans. The total non-accrued interest on these loans at December 31, 2009 was $190,701.
At December 31, 2008, we had one loan past due and classified as non-accrual in the amount of $850,675. The borrower on this loan filed for bankruptcy protection in November, 2007. A commercial real estate property secures this loan. The loan to value at inception of this loan was 80%. We anticipate that we will receive repayment for all of the balance due on this loan. As of December 31, 2008, the interest not accrued on this loan was $85,706. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we applied $80,099 in interest payments to the principal balance on the loan. We have not designated a specific allowance for this non-accrual loan.
At December 31, 2007, we had two loans totaling $1,061,144 that were 90 days past due and were classified as non-accrual. We received payment in full on one of these loans in June 2008.
There were no accruing loans 90 days or more past due or considered impaired at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

5. Loans (Continued)
The company has pledged loans totaling $114,160,379 to support Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.
The Bank makes loans to customers located in the Maryland suburbs of Washington D.C. Residential and commercial real estate secure substantial portions of the Bank’s loans. Although the loan portfolio is diversified, the regional real estate market and economy will influence its performance.

10. Short Term Borrowings
The Bank has available lines of credit including overnight federal funds and reverse repurchase agreements from its correspondent banks totaling $32.0 million as of December 31, 2009. The Bank has an additional secured line of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) of $103.7 million. Prior to allowing the Bank to borrow under the line of credit, the FHLB requires that the Bank provide collateral to support borrowings. At December 31, 2009, we had provided $39.3 million in collateral value and as outlined below have borrowed $15.0 million. We have additional available borrowing capacity of $24.3 million. We may increase this availability by pledging additional collateral. As a condition of obtaining the line of credit from the FHLB, the FHLB also requires that the Bank purchase shares of capital stock in the FHLB.
Short term borrowings consist of promissory notes sold to the Bank’s customers, federal funds purchased and advances from the FHLB. The 3.66% FHLB borrowing matures November 23, 2010. Interest is payable on the 23rd day of each February, May, August, and November. On any interest payment date, the FHLB has the option to convert the interest rate on this advance from a fixed rate to a three (3) month LIBOR based variable rate.
The Bank sells short term promissory notes to its customers. These notes reprice daily and have maturities of 270 days or less. Federal funds purchased are unsecured, overnight borrowings from other financial institutions.

    Eligible employees participate in a profit sharing plan that qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan allows for elective employee deferrals and the Bank makes matching contributions of up to 4% of eligible employee compensation. Our contributions to the plan, included in employee benefit expenses, were $132,284, $128,189, and $122,901 for 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.
 
    The Bank also offers Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (SERPs) to its executive officers providing for retirement income benefits. We accrue the present value of the SERPs over the remaining number of years to the executives’ expected retirement dates. The Bank’s expenses for the SERPs were $133,758, $119,245, and $105,997 in 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

15.   Capital Standards
 
    The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Reserve Board have adopted risk-based capital standards for banking organizations. These standards require ratios of capital to assets for minimum capital adequacy and to be classified as well capitalized under prompt corrective action provisions. As of December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, the capital ratios and minimum capital requirements are as follows:

    Tier 1 capital consists of common and preferred stock, additional paid-in capital and retained earnings. Total capital includes a limited amount of the allowance for loan losses. In calculating risk-weighted assets, specified risk percentages are applied to each category of asset and off-balance sheet items.
 
    Failure to meet the capital requirement could affect our ability to pay dividends and accept deposits and may significantly affect our operations.
 
    In the most recent regulatory report, we were categorized as well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. Management knows of no events or conditions that should change this classification.

    We lease seven branch locations and one loan production office from non-related parties under lease agreements expiring through 2040. We lease our corporate headquarters and one branch location from Pointer Ridge. Each of the leases provides extension options.
 
    The approximate future minimum lease commitments under the operating leases as of December 31, 2009, are presented below. We have eliminated 62.5% of lease commitments to Pointer Ridge in consolidation.

    Rent expense was $475,113, $796,429, and $671,110, for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.
 
    On August 25, 2006, Pointer Ridge entered into a loan agreement with an unrelated bank, in an original principal amount of $6.6 million to finance the commercial office building located at 1525 Pointer Ridge Place, Bowie, Maryland. We lease approximately half of this building for our main office and operate a branch from this address. Pursuant to the terms of a guaranty between the bank and Bancshares dated August 25, 2006, Bancshares has guaranteed up to 62.5% of the loan amount plus costs incurred by the lender resulting from any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions.
 
    In the normal course of business the Bank is involved in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s financial statements.

17.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
    On January 1, 2008, we adopted FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability, or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact. The Bank values investment securities classified as available for sale at fair value. The fair value hierarchy established in FASB ASC Topic 820 defines three input levels for fair value measurement. Level 1 is based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 is based on significant observable inputs other than those in Level 1. Level 3 is based on significant unobservable inputs.
 
    We value investment securities classified as available for sale at fair value on a recurring basis. We value treasury securities, government sponsored entity securities, and some agency securities under Level 1, and collateralized mortgage obligations and some agency securities under Level 2. At December 31, 2009, we established values for available for sale investment securities as follows (000’s);
                                 
    Total Fair Value     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3  
    December 31, 2009     Inputs     Inputs     Inputs  
Investment securities available for sale
  $ 28,013     $ 4,708     $ 23,305     $  
 
                       
    Our valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes our methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value. Furthermore, we have not comprehensively revalued the fair value amounts since the presentation dates, and therefore, estimates of fair value after the balance sheet date may differ significantly from the above presented amounts.

17.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
 
    We use the following methodologies for estimating fair values of financial instruments that we do not measure on a recurring basis. The estimated fair values of financial instruments equal the carrying value of the instruments except as noted.
 
    Time Deposits-The fair value of time deposits in other banks is an estimate determined by discounting future cash flows using current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
    Investment Securities-The fair values of investment securities are based upon quoted market prices or dealer quotes.
 
    Loans-The fair value of loans is an estimate determined by discounting future cash flows using current rates for which the Bank would make similar loans to borrowers with similar credit histories.
 
    Interest bearing deposits-The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is an estimate using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
    Long and short term borrowings-The fair value of long and short term fixed rate borrowings is estimated by discounting the value of contractual cash flows using rates currently offered for advances with similar terms and remaining maturities.
 
    Loan Commitments, Standby and Commercial Letters of Credit-Lending commitments have variable interest rates and “escape” clauses if the customer’s credit quality deteriorates. Therefore, the fair value of these items is insignificant and is not included in the following table.

20.   Stockholders’ Equity
    Stock Options
 
    We have two stock option plans under which we may issue options, the 2001 Incentive Stock Option Plan, as amended, and the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. Our Compensation Committee administers the stock option plans. As the plans outline, the Compensation Committee approves stock option grants to directors and employees, determines the number of shares, the type of option, the option price, the term (not to exceed 10 years from the date of issuance) and the vesting period of options issued. The Compensation Committee has approved and we have granted options vesting immediately as well as over periods of two, three and five years. We recognize the compensation expense associated with these grants over their respective vesting period. As of December 31, 2009, there were 71,530 shares remaining available for future issuance under the stock option plans.
 
    The intrinsic value of the options that directors and officers exercised for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 was $0, $7,040, and $26,432, respectively.

20.   Stockholders’ Equity (Continued)
    At December 31, 2009, there was $37,862 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options that we expect to realize over the next 3.5 years. The following table summarizes the fair values of the options granted and weighted-average assumptions used to calculate the fair values. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

    Preferred stock
 
    On December 5, 2008, Bancshares issued 7,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A, $1 par value (“Series A Preferred Stock”) with a liquidation preference per share equal to $1,000 and a ten year warrant to purchase up to 141,892 shares of Bancshares’ common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at an exercise price of $7.40 per share, for a total purchase price of $7 million in cash as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program-Capital Purchase Program of the U.S. Treasury (“Treasury”). Bancshares allocated the cash proceeds between the Series A Preferred Stock and the warrant to purchase common stock based on the relative estimated fair values at the date of issuance.
 
    In July of 2009, we repurchased from the Treasury the 7,000 shares of preferred stock that we issued to them. We paid Treasury $7,058,333 to repurchase the preferred stock which reflects the liquidation value of the preferred stock and $58,333 of accrued but unpaid dividends. In August, we also repurchased at a fair market value of $225,000 the warrant to purchase 141,892 shares of our common stock.
