Earnings Release
RELIANCE BANCSHARES, INC. ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER, 2011 RESULTS
ST.
LOUIS, May 4, 2011 Reliance Bancshares, Inc., the parent company of Reliance Bank and
Reliance Bank, FSB, announces its first quarter, 2011 results and reports a net loss of $5.192
million. Net loss for the first quarter of 2010 was $2.499 million. The loss is attributable to
the prolonged, challenging economic environment and specifically, consequences in the commercial
real estate markets in Florida and St. Louis. The persistent weakness in the commercial real
estate market continues to place intense pressure on our loan portfolio, and has resulted in our
current quarterly loss; however, our core retail banking operations remain sound and profitable,
said Allan D. Ivie, IV, President and Chief Executive Officer. As we continue to serve our
customers, we are also working toward reducing costs, improving asset quality and preserving
capital.
The Company increased its reserve for possible loan losses to $37.0 million, a $4.3 million
increase over the prior years quarter ended March 31, 2010. This reserve currently represents
4.12% of outstanding loans; for first quarter ended 2010, the reserve represented 2.96% of
outstanding loans. The first quarter, 2011 provision for possible loan losses was $5.100 million,
a $2.592 million, or 33.7%, decrease over the first quarter of 2010. Significant work has been
done in the identification and risk mitigation within the loan portfolio. In addition, increases
of $.124 million in FDIC assessments and $1.2 million in expenses associated with other real estate
impacted earnings for the first three months ended March 31, 2011.
Net yield on earning assets for the first quarter of 2011 was 3.12%, compared to 2010 which was
3.13%.
Total assets and loans were reduced, and the Company continues to reduce its concentration of
commercial real estate loans. Total assets as of March 31, 2011 were $1.269 billion. This
represents a 14.6% decrease compared to the same quarter ended 2010 and a 2.1% decrease compared to
December 31, 2010. Loans decreased 18.7% or $206.3 million compared to March 31, 2010 and $72.0
million or 7.4% compared to December 31, 2010. Total deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2011
decreased $17.7 million, or 1.6%. For the twelve month period ended March 31, 2011, total deposits
decreased $150.2 million or 12.4%.
While improvement has occurred in loans originated in Florida, loans originated in the St. Louis
market continue to present challenges for the Company. Of the Companys $898.2 million loans
outstanding at March 31, 2011, 5.2% were originated in Florida and 94.8% outside of Florida.
During the first quarter of 2011, net charge-offs were $5.4 million. The following is an analysis
of the Companys loan portfolio:

Total revenue, defined as total interest income and non-interest income, was $14.5 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2011. This represents a 20.5% decrease compared to the same quarter end,
2010. For the same period, net interest income decreased 13.7% or $1.5 million to $9.3 million, the
result of reduced volumes of earning assets and interest sensitive liabilities.
Mr. Ivie concluded, Our core community bank operations remain sound. Our management and Board
have been working closely with State and Federal banking regulators to address challenges facing
the Company. We continue to take the necessary steps to improve liquidity, reduce the
concentration of commercial real estate and protect capital.
