Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus
Merger Proposal – Your Vote is Very Important


The boards of directors of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. and WSB Holdings, Inc. have agreed to a strategic combination of the two companies under the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 10, 2012, as amended.  Under the terms of the merger agreement, WSB Holdings will be merged with and into Old Line Bancshares, with Old Line Bancshares surviving the merger.
 
If the merger is completed, WSB Holdings stockholders will have the right to receive for each share of WSB Holdings stock they own, at their election, (i) $6.09 in cash, (ii) approximately 0.5608 shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock, or (iii) a combination of cash and Old Line Bancshares common stock, subject to adjustment and the proration provisions described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus whereby 2,792,974 (approximately 35%) shares of WSB Holdings’ outstanding common stock will be exchanged for cash and the remaining outstanding shares (approximately 65%) of WSB Holdings common stock will be exchanged for shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock, as further described in the attached joint proxy statement/prospectus.  Cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional shares.  Assuming no adjustments to the aggregate consideration under the terms of the merger agreement and no changes in the number of shares of common stock of WSB Holdings outstanding, if the merger is completed Old Line Bancshares will issue approximately 2,929,413 shares of common stock and pay approximately $17,009,212 in cash in exchange for the outstanding shares of common stock of WSB Holdings upon consummation of the merger.  The value of the per-share and aggregate stock consideration will depend on the market price of Old Line Bancshares common stock on the effective date of the merger.  The value per share of the cash consideration and the stock consideration will also depend on the applicability and extent of any adjustments.
 
After the merger, Old Line Bancshares stockholders will continue to own their existing shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock.  Old Line Bancshares common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “OLBK.”
 
Stockholders of Old Line Bancshares will be asked to vote on approval of the merger agreement and the merger at the Old Line Bancshares special meeting.  Stockholders of WSB Holdings will be asked to vote on approval of the merger agreement at the special meeting for WSB Holdings.  We cannot complete the merger unless we obtain the required approval of the stockholders of each of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings.  The merger agreement must be approved by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of WSB Holdings and the merger agreement and the merger must be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of Old Line Bancshares.
 
The Boards of Directors of WSB Holdings, Inc. and Old Line Bancshares, Inc. recommend that you vote “FOR” approval of the merger agreement and the merger.
 
You should read this document and all annexes carefully.  Before making a decision on how to vote, you should consider the “Risk Factors” discussion beginning on page 16 of this document.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE SPECIAL MEETINGS

The following are some questions that you, as a stockholder of Old Line Bancshares or WSB Holdings, may have regarding the merger agreement, the merger and the other matters being considered at the special meetings and the answers to those questions.  Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings urge you to read carefully the remainder of this document because the information in this section does not provide all the information that might be important to you with respect to the merger and the other matters being considered at the special meetings.  Additional important information is also contained in the annexes to this document.
 
Q:
Why am I receiving this document?
 
A:
Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings have agreed to the merger of WSB Holdings with and into Old Line Bancshares, which we refer to as the “merger,” pursuant to the terms of a merger agreement that is described in this document.  A copy of the merger agreement is attached to this document as Annex A.  Each company will hold a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of voting on the merger and certain related proposals.  This document constitutes each company’s proxy statement, and it also constitutes a prospectus covering the shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock that will be issued to stockholders of WSB Holdings in the merger.
 
In order to complete the merger, Maryland law requires that the stockholders of Old Line Bancshares vote to approve the merger and Delaware law requires that the stockholders of WSB Holdings vote to approve the merger agreement.  In addition, the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC require that Old Line Bancshares stockholders approve the merger since the shares it will issue to WSB Holdings stockholders in the merger will be in excess of 20% of its current outstanding shares of common stock and voting power.
 
In addition, WSB Holdings stockholders will be asked to approve certain “golden parachute compensation” that Old Line Bancshares could be required to pay to Kevin P. Huffman, the President and Chief Operating Officer of WSB Holdings, in connection with the merger.  Rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, require WSB Holdings to seek a non-binding advisory vote with respect to certain “golden parachute compensation” that WSB Holdings’ named executive officers will receive in connection with the merger.
 
Finally, both Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings stockholders will be asked to vote on a proposal to adjourn their special meetings to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the meetings to approve the matters to be considered by the stockholders.
 
Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings will hold separate special meetings to obtain these approvals.  This joint proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the merger and the meetings of the stockholders of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings, and you should read it carefully.  The enclosed voting materials allow you to vote your shares without actually attending your respective stockholder meeting.
 
Your vote is important.  We encourage you to vote as soon as possible.

Q:

WSB Holdings .  The proposal at the WSB Holdings special meeting to approve the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of WSB Holdings common stock entitled to vote on the proposal.  Therefore, an abstention, a failure to vote and a broker non-vote will each have the effect of a vote against this proposal.
 
Approval of the advisory (nonbinding) vote to approve “golden parachute compensation” that may be paid to Kevin P. Huffman in connection with the merger requires the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of WSB Holdings common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote. Therefore, an abstention will count as a vote against this proposal, but a failure to vote and a broker non-vote will each have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

A:
If you fail to vote or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to vote or abstain from voting, it will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal to approve the merger agreement and (in the case of Old Line Bancshares) the merger.
If you are an Old Line Bancshares stockholder, then assuming a quorum is present, an abstention or the failure to vote will have no effect on the proposal to approve the adjournment of the Old Line Bancshares special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies.  For this purpose, a quorum will be present if holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock as of the record date are present, in person or by proxy, at the special meeting.
 
If you are a WSB Holdings stockholder, then assuming a quorum is present, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the proposal to approve the “golden parachute compensation” that may be paid to Kevin P. Huffman in connection with the merger and the proposal to approve the adjournment of the Old Line Bancshares special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies, but the failure to vote will have no effect on these proposals.

If my shares are held in street name by my broker, bank or other nominee, will my broker, bank or other nominee automatically vote my shares for me?
 
A:
No.  If you hold your shares in a stock brokerage account or if your shares are held by a bank or other nominee (that is, in street name), your broker, bank or other nominee will not vote your shares of Old Line Bancshares or WSB Holdings common stock unless you provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee.  You should instruct your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares by following the instructions provided by the broker, bank or nominee with this joint proxy statement/prospectus.  Please note that you may not vote shares held in street name by returning a proxy card directly to Old Line Bancshares or WSB Holdings or by voting in person at your special meeting unless you provide a “legal proxy,” which you must obtain from your bank, broker or nominee.
 
Q:
What will happen if I return my proxy card without indicating how to vote?
 
A:
If you sign and return your proxy card without indicating how to vote on any particular proposal, the Old Line Bancshares common stock or WSB Holdings common stock represented by your proxy will be voted in favor of that proposal.
 
Q:
What if I fail to submit my proxy card or to instruct my broker, bank or other nominee to vote?
 
A:
If you fail to properly submit your proxy card or otherwise vote as instructed on the proxy card, or fail to properly instruct your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock or WSB Holdings common stock and you do not attend the applicable special meeting and vote your shares in person, your shares will not be voted.  This will have the same effect as a vote against approval of the merger agreement and the merger.
 
Q:
Can I change my vote after I have returned a proxy or voting instruction card?
 
A:
Yes.  You can change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at your special meeting.  You can do this in one of three ways:
 
·   you can send a signed notice of revocation;
 
·   you can grant a new, valid proxy bearing a later date; or
 
 
 
 
3

 
 
 
 
 
·   if you are a holder of record, you can attend your special meeting and vote in person, which will automatically cancel any proxy previously given, or you may revoke your proxy in person, but your attendance alone will not revoke any proxy that you have previously given.
 
If you choose either of the first two methods, you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy to the Secretary of Old Line Bancshares or Secretary of WSB Holdings, as appropriate, no later than the beginning of the applicable special meeting.  If your shares are held in street name by your bank, broker or other nominee, you should follow the directions you receive from your bank, broker or other nominee to change your voting instructions, or contact your broker, bank or other nominee if no such instructions are provided.
 
Q:
What will happen if stockholders of WSB Holdings do not approve the “golden parachute compensation” that may be paid to Kevin P. Huffman in connection with the merger?
 
A:
The vote with respect to the “golden parachute compensation” is an advisory vote and will not be binding on WSB Holdings or Old Line Bancshares.  Approval of this compensation is not a condition to completion of the merger.  Therefore, if the merger is approved and subsequently completed, the compensation will still be paid to Mr. Huffman, assuming he is eligible to receive that compensation, whether or not the stockholders of WSB Holdings approve that compensation at their special meeting.
 
Q:
Am I entitled to appraisal rights or similar rights?
 
A:
Yes, if you are a WSB Holdings stockholder and do not elect, but receive, cash in exchange for your shares in the merger.  Under Delaware law, WSB Holdings stockholders may exercise their rights to demand the payment of the fair value of their shares of WSB Holdings common stock for which they elected to receive shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock in connection with the merger but that are converted into cash.  These rights are occasionally referred to as “appraisal rights” in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.  The provisions of Delaware law governing appraisal rights are complex, and you should study them carefully if you wish to exercise these rights.  Multiple steps must be taken to properly exercise and perfect such rights.  A copy of Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) is included with this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D.
 
If you are an Old Line Bancshares stockholder, you are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the merger.
 
Q:
What are the material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger to stockholders?
 
A:
In general, for United States federal income tax purposes, WSB Holdings stockholders are not expected to recognize a gain or loss on the exchange of their shares of WSB Holdings common stock for shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock.  WSB Holdings stockholders that receive only cash in exchange for their shares of WSB Holdings common stock will recognize gain or loss on the transaction, and WSB Holdings stockholders that receive a combination of cash and Old Line Bancshares common stock in exchange for their shares of WSB Holdings common stock will typically recognize gain (but not loss) on the transaction.  WSB Holdings stockholders will have to recognize a gain in connection with cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock.  Old Line Bancshares stockholders will have no tax consequences as a result of the merger.
 
WSB Holdings stockholders are urged to consult their tax advisors for a full understanding of the tax consequences of the merger to them because tax matters are very complicated and, in many cases, tax consequences of the merger will depend on your particular facts and circumstances.  See “The Merger Agreement and the Merger – Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences.”

Q:
When do you expect the merger to be completed?
 
A:
Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings are working to complete the merger as soon as is reasonably practicable, with a target date of July 1, 2013.  It is possible that the merger may be completed prior to July 1, 2013 if all of the conditions to closing have been satisfied or waived by the companies.  However, the merger is subject to various federal and state regulatory approvals and other conditions, in addition to approval by the stockholders of both companies, and it is possible that factors outside the control of both companies could result in the merger being completed at a later time, or not at all.  There may be a substantial amount of time between the respective Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings special meetings and the completion of the merger.
 
Q:
What do I need to do now?
 
 
Carefully read and consider the information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including its annexes.  After you have carefully read these materials, as soon as possible either (i) indicate on the attached proxy card how you want your shares to be voted, then sign, date and mail the proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope (you may also vote by phone or via the Internet as otherwise instructed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus), or (ii) if you hold your shares in street name, follow the voting instructions provided by your bank, broker or other nominee to direct it how to vote your shares, so that your shares may be represented and voted at the Old Line Bancshares or WSB Holdings special meeting.
 
Q:
What will I receive in the merger?
 
A:
Old Line Bancshares .  You will continue to hold your shares of common stock in Old Line Bancshares after the merger.
WSB Holdings .  In exchange for your shares of WSB Holdings common stock, you will receive, at your election and subject to the limitations and allocation provisions described herein, shares of common stock of Old Line Bancshares and/or cash, as further described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
 
Q:
Do I need to do anything with my shares of WSB Holdings common stock or Old Line Bancshares common stock now?
 
A:
No.  Please do not send in your WSB Holdings stock certificates with your proxy card.  If the merger is approved, then you will be sent an election form and a letter of transmittal and instructions for sending in your WSB Holdings stock certificates (collectively referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus as the “election form”).
 
Each outstanding share of common stock of Old Line Bancshares will continue to remain outstanding as a share of Old Line Bancshares common stock after the merger.  As a result, if you are an Old Line Bancshares stockholder, you are not required to take any action with respect to your Old Line Bancshares common stock certificates.
 
Q:
Whom should I call if I have any questions?

Matters to be Considered at the Special Meetings (see pages 33 and 36)
 
If you are a stockholder of Old Line Bancshares, you will be asked at the Old Line Bancshares special meeting to (i) vote on a proposal to approve the merger and the merger agreement and (ii) vote on a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to solicit additional proxies, if necessary, in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the meeting to approve the merger and the merger agreement and any other business that properly arises during the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.  If you are a stockholder of WSB Holdings, you will be asked at the WSB Holdings special meeting to (x) vote on a proposal to approve the merger agreement, (y) approve, by an advisory (nonbinding) vote, the “golden parachute compensation” that could be paid to Kevin P. Huffman, the President and Chief Operating Officer of WSB Holdings, from Old Line Bancshares in connection with the merger, and (z) vote on a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to solicit additional proxies, if necessary, in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the meetings to approve the merger and the merger agreement and any other business that properly arises during the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
 
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Old Line Bancshares will acquire WSB Holdings by merging WSB Holdings with and into Old Line Bancshares.  WSB Holdings will cease to exist as a separate entity.  Old Line Bancshares will pay consideration of approximately $48.7 million (based on an assumed per-share value of Old Line Bancshares common stock of $10.85), subject to adjustment for operating losses, asset quality, the valuation of certain investment securities and limitations on WSB Holdings’ expenses in connection with the merger agreement prior to closing.
 
Pursuant to a separate agreement, we anticipate that immediately after the merger, The Washington Savings Bank, the bank operating subsidiary of WSB Holdings, will merge with and into Old Line Bank, with Old Line Bank being the surviving bank.
 
A copy of the merger agreement is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.
 
Consideration to be Received in the Merger (page 72)
 
The merger agreement provides that WSB Holdings stockholders will have the right, with respect to each of their shares of WSB Holdings common stock, to elect to receive, subject to adjustment and proration as described below, either (i) approximately 0.5608 shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock, (ii) $6.09 in cash, or (iii) a combination of cash and Old Line Bancshares common stock.  With respect to the stock consideration portion of the merger consideration, the number of shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock into which each share of WSB Holdings will be converted (which we refer to as the “exchange ratio”) will equal the quotient of (i) $31,655,645 (subject to adjustment as provided in the merger agreement) divided by $10.85, divided by (ii) the number of shares of WSB Holdings common stock outstanding on the effective date minus the 2,792,974 shares to be exchanged for cash.  Assuming no adjustments to the aggregate merger consideration and no stock option exercises prior to the closing date, the aggregate stock consideration will be 2,917,571 shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock and the exchange ratio will be 0.5608.
 
You will have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received for your shares, subject to allocation procedures as set forth in the merger agreement, that may result in your receiving a portion of the merger consideration in a form other than that which you elected.  The value of the stock consideration is dependent upon the value of Old Line Bancshares common stock and, therefore, will fluctuate with the market price of Old Line Bancshares common stock.  Accordingly, any change in the price of Old Line Bancshares common stock prior to the merger will affect the market value of the stock consideration that stockholders of WSB Holdings will receive as a result of the merger.
 
Allocation and Proration of the Merger Consideration (page 77)
 
The merger agreement contains allocation provisions that are designed to ensure that 2,792,974, or approximately 35%, of the outstanding shares of WSB Holdings common stock will be exchanged for cash and that the remainder, or approximately 65%, of the outstanding shares of WSB Holdings common stock will be exchanged for shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock.  Old Line Bancshares will pay no more than $17,009,212 as cash consideration under the terms of the merger agreement, not including any cash paid for fractional shares.

Treatment of Shares if Too Much Cash is Elected.   The merger agreement provides that if the holders of more than 2,792,974 of the outstanding shares of WSB Holdings common stock elect to receive cash for such shares in the merger, then the shares that stockholders have requested be exchanged for cash and the shares for which no election as to cash or stock has been made will be re-allocated by the exchange agent such that the total number of shares that will be exchanged for cash equals 2,792,974.  Old Line Bancshares will instruct the exchange agent in this circumstance to re-allocate all shares for which the WSB stockholders have not made an election as shares that will be exchanged for common stock and to re-allocate the shares for which WSB stockholders have requested cash on a pro rata basis as necessary such that the number of shares of WSB common stock to be exchanged for cash in the merger equals 2,792,974.  As a result, stockholders that elected to receive cash for some or all of their shares of WSB Holdings common stock will receive shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock instead with respect to some of such shares.
 
Treatment of Shares if Too Much Stock is Elected.   The merger agreement provides that if the holders of less than 2,792,974 of the outstanding shares of WSB Holdings common stock elect to receive cash for such shares in the merger, then the shares that stockholders have requested be exchanged for Old Line Bancshares common stock and the shares for which no election as to cash or stock has been made will be re-allocated by the exchange agent such that the total number of shares that will be exchanged for cash equals 2,792,974.  Old Line Bancshares will instruct the exchange agent in this circumstance to re-allocate all shares for which the WSB stockholders have not made an election as shares that will be exchanged for cash and to re-allocate the shares for which WSB stockholders have requested Old Line Bancshares common stock on a pro rata basis as necessary such that the number of shares of WSB common stock to be exchanged for cash in the merger equals 2,792,974.  In that case, stockholders that elected to receive Old Line Bancshares common stock for some or all of their shares of WSB Holdings common stock will receive the per-share cash consideration instead with respect to some of such shares.
 
Election Procedures for Stockholders; Surrender of Stock Certificates (page 75)
 
No more than 40 business days and no less than 20 business days before the expected date of completion of the merger, an election form will be sent to WSB Holdings stockholders that contains instructions for use in surrendering their WSB stock certificates in exchange for the merger consideration.  You may use the election form to indicate whether your preference is to receive cash, shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock, or a combination thereof.  The election deadline will be 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, five days prior to the effective time of the merger.  To make an election, a holder of WSB Holdings common stock must submit a properly completed election form and return it, together with all stock certificates, so that the form and certificates are actually received by the exchange agent at or before the election deadline in accordance with the instructions on the election form.
 
You should not send in your stock certificates until you receive the election form and instructions from the exchange agent.
 
No Election Shares (page 75)
 
WSB Holdings stockholders who do not submit a properly completed election form or revoke their election form prior to the election deadline will have their shares of WSB Holdings common stock designated as no election shares.  No election shares will be converted into the right to receive either cash or shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock, depending on the elections made by other WSB Holdings stockholders.

Treatment of Stock Options (page 78)
 
Any WSB Holdings options properly exercised prior to the effective time will have the right to receive merger consideration on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as all other outstanding shares of WSB Holdings common stock.  An election with respect to any WSB Holdings common stock received after the election deadline pursuant to the exercise of a WSB Holdings option will be considered no election shares and may be paid in cash, Old Line Bancshares common stock or a mix of cash and shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock depending on, and after giving effect to, the number of valid cash elections and stock elections that have been made by other WSB Holdings stockholders.
 
At the effective time, each option granted under a WSB Holdings stock option plan, whether vested or unvested, and which has not been previously exercised or cancelled, will be converted into the right to purchase that number of shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock equal to the product of the number of shares of WSB Holdings common stock provided for in the option multiplied by the exchange ratio (approximately 0.5608, subject to adjustment), and the exercise price will be adjusted for the merger consideration, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, provided that any adjustments to “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”) will be effected in a manner consistent with Section 422(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
Each of the Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings Boards of Directors Recommends Stockholder Approval (see pages 33 and 36).
 
Each of the Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings boards of directors believes that the merger is in the best interests of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings, respectively, and their respective stockholders.  Accordingly, the board of directors of Old Line Bancshares recommends that stockholders of Old Line Bancshares vote “ FOR ” approval of the merger agreement and the merger, and the board of directors of WSB Holdings recommends that stockholders of WSB Holdings vote “ FOR ” approval of the merger agreement.

The directors and executive officers of WSB Holdings have interests in the merger as directors and employees that are different from your interests as a WSB Holdings stockholder.  These interests include, among others, provisions in the merger agreement regarding the Old Line Bancshares board positions and payments to be made to the Chairman and certain executive officers of WSB Holdings pursuant to existing arrangements and the merger agreement, as well as indemnification and insurance provisions of the merger agreement.
 
WSB Holdings’ board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them in approving and recommending the merger agreement and the related transactions.
 
Regulatory Approval or No Objection Must be Obtained and Other Conditions Must be Satisfied Before the Merger can be Completed (see page 87).
 
Old Line Bancshares’ and WSB Holdings’ obligations to complete the merger are subject to various conditions that are usual and customary for this kind of transaction, including obtaining approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) for the merger, obtaining approval of the Federal Reserve Board and the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation (the “Maryland Commissioner”) for the bank merger, and providing notification to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) for the bank merger (which is included in any references to regulatory “approvals” in this joint proxy statement/prospectus).  On December 12, 2012, Old Line Bancshares filed the appropriate applications for approval with the Federal Reserve Board and with the Maryland Commissioner.  Also on December 12, 2012, The Washington Savings Bank filed the appropriate notice with the OCC.  In addition to the required regulatory approvals, the merger will be completed only if certain conditions, including the following, are satisfied or waived by the companies:
 
 
 
 
12

 
 
 
·  
Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings stockholders must approve the merger agreement and the merger at the special meetings;
 
·  
Each party must receive an opinion from its counsel or independent certified public accountants that:
 
Ø  
The merger constitutes a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
 
Ø  
With respect to the opinion received by WSB Holdings, any gain realized in the merger will be recognized only to the extent of cash or other property (other than Old Line Bancshares common stock) received in the merger, including cash received in lieu of fractional share interests; and
 
·  
Each party’s representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement must be true in all material respects, and each party must have performed all of its obligations set forth in the merger agreement.
 
The merger agreement attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A describes all of the conditions that must be met before the merger may be completed.
 
Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings can Amend or Terminate the Merger Agreement (see page 85).
 
WSB Holdings and Old Line Bancshares may agree to terminate the merger agreement and not complete the merger at any time before the merger is completed.  Each company also may unilaterally terminate the merger agreement in certain circumstances, including:
 
·  
The merger is not completed on or prior to July 1, 2013, if the failure to complete the merger by that date is not due to a material breach of the merger agreement by the party seeking to terminate it.
 
·  
A definitive written denial of a required regulatory approval.
 
·  
The other party has materially breached any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement in the merger agreement, and such breach remains uncured 30 days after receipt by such party of written notice of such breach (provided that if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period but may reasonably be cured within 60 days and cure is being diligently pursued, then termination can occur only after expiration of such 60-day period).
 
·  
Old Line Bancshares’ or WSB Holdings’ stockholders do not approve the merger at their respective special meetings.
 
·  
The conditions to closing have not been satisfied or waived.
 
·

·  
If WSB Holdings or any WSB Holdings subsidiary enters into a definitive term sheet, letter of intent or similar agreement with a view to being acquired by any person other than Old Line Bancshares, or to sell a material portion of its assets (an “alternative WSB Holdings transaction”).
 
 
 
13

 
 
 
In addition, WSB Holdings may terminate the merger agreement:
 
·  
If the average price (as defined in the merger agreement) of Old Line Bancshares common stock is less than $8.14 per share, unless Old Line Bancshares increases the aggregate merger consideration so that it is not less than $40.8 million (subject to adjustment) as set forth in the merger agreement.
 
·  
If Old Line Bancshares or any Old Line Bancshares subsidiary enters into a definitive term sheet, letter of intent or similar agreement to merge, as a result of which Old Line Bancshares is not the surviving entity or Old Line Bancshares’ directors as of September 10, 2012 do not comprise the majority of the surviving entity’s board of directors, with any person other than WSB Holdings (an “alternative Old Line Bancshares transaction”), and the WSB Holdings board of directors determines, with written advice of counsel, that such transaction is not in the best interests of WSB Holdings’ stockholders.
 
Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings can agree to amend the merger agreement in any way.  Either company can waive any of the requirements of the other company in the merger agreement, except that neither company can waive the requirement that the companies receive all required regulatory approval, the requirement for stockholder approval or the requirement that no order, decree or injunction preventing the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement has been issued.
 
WSB Holdings Must Pay a Termination Fee to Old Line Bancshares if the Merger Agreement is Terminated Under Certain Circumstances (see page 86).
 
WSB Holdings must pay Old Line Bancshares a termination fee in the amount of $1,750,000 if the merger agreement is terminated because:
 
·  
WSB Holdings or any WSB Holdings subsidiary has entered into an alternative WSB Holdings transaction;
 
·  
WSB Holdings has materially breached the merger agreement (provided that Old Line Bancshares is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in the merger agreement);
 
·  
The board of directors of WSB Holdings has withdrawn, changed or modified its recommendation to stockholders of WSB Holdings to approve the merger agreement; or
 
·  
The merger failed to close by July 1, 2013 or the parties failed to receive all regulatory approvals and consents required for the merger and such failure resulted from the knowing, willful and intentional actions or inactions of WSB Holdings or The Washington Savings Bank (provided that Old Line Bancshares is not then in material breach of any material representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in the merger agreement).
 
Old Line Bancshares Must Pay a Termination Fee to WSB Holdings if the Merger Agreement is Terminated Under Certain Circumstances (see page 86)
 
Old Line Bancshares has agreed to pay a fee of $750,000 to WSB Holdings if WSB Holdings terminates the merger agreement because:
 
·  
Old Line Bancshares has materially breached the merger agreement (provided that WSB Holdings is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in the merger agreement);
 
·  
The board of directors of Old Line Bancshares has withdrawn, changed or modified its recommendation to stockholders of Old Line Bancshares to approve the merger agreement and the merger;
 
 
 
 
14

 
 
 
·  
The merger failed to close by July 1, 2013 or the parties failed to receive all regulatory approvals and consents required for the merger and such failure resulted from the knowing, willful and intentional actions or inactions of Old Line Bancshares or Old Line Bank (provided that WSB Holdings is not then in material breach of any material representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in the merger agreement); or
 
·  
Old Line Bancshares’ entry into an alternative Old Line Bancshares transaction and WSB Holdings’ board of directors has determined that, with written advice of counsel, such transaction is not in the best interests of the stockholders of WSB Holdings.
 
Rights of Old Line Bancshares Stockholders Differ from those of WSB Holdings Stockholders (see page 109).
 
When the merger is completed, WSB Holdings stockholders who receive Old Line Bancshares common stock as consideration in the merger will become Old Line Bancshares stockholders.  The rights of Old Line Bancshares stockholders differ from the rights of WSB Holdings stockholders in certain important ways.  Most of these differences have to do with provisions in Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation and bylaws that differ from the provisions in WSB Holdings’ certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as the differences between the Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”) and the DGCL.
 
WSB Holdings Stockholders have Appraisal Rights in Connection with the Merger (see page 101).
 
Pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, WSB Holdings stockholders are entitled to exercise appraisal rights with respect to the merger and, if the merger is completed and they perfect their appraisal rights, to receive payment in cash for the fair value of their shares of WSB Holdings common stock instead of their share of the aggregate merger consideration.  In general, a stockholder of WSB Holdings who desires to exercise and preserve his or her appraisal rights must take the following actions:
 
·  
Deliver a written demand for appraisal to WSB Holdings before the vote on the merger agreement at the WSB Holdings’ special meeting of stockholders;
 
·  
Not vote their shares for approval of the merger agreement;
 
·  
File a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery within 120 days after the effective date of the merger to demand a determination of the value of the WSB Holdings stock exchanged in the merger; and
 
·  
Comply with the other procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL.
 
The text of Section 262 of the DGCL governing appraisal rights is included with this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D.  Because the failure to comply with the procedures described in Annex D will result in the loss of appraisal rights under the DGCL, we urge you to carefully read the text of Section 262 of the DGCL governing appraisal rights.

RISK FACTORS
 
In addition to the other information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed under the caption “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the following risk factors in deciding whether to vote for approval of the merger agreement and the merger.
 
Risk Factors Related to the Merger in General
 
Old Line Bancshares may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the merger.   The success of the merger will depend, in part, on Old Line Bancshares’ ability to realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings from combining the businesses of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings.  To realize these anticipated benefits and cost savings, however, Old Line Bancshares must successfully combine the businesses of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings.  If Old Line Bancshares is unable to achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected.
 
Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings have operated and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to operate, independently.  It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the loss of key depositors or other bank customers, the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect Old Line Bancshares’ and WSB Holdings’ ability to maintain their relationships with their respective clients, customers, depositors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger.  Integration efforts between the two companies may, to some extent, also divert management attention and resources.  These integration matters could have an adverse effect on each of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings during such transition period.
 
The opinions of Old Line Bancshares’ and WSB Holdings’ financial advisors will not reflect changes in circumstances between the signing of the merger agreement and the completion of the merger.   Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings obtained opinions from their respective financial advisors regarding the fairness of the merger consideration from a financial point of view, but these opinions are dated as of, and speak only as of, the date of the merger agreement.  Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings have not obtained updated opinions from their respective financial advisors as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.  Changes in the operations and prospects of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of Old Line Bancshares or WSB Holdings, and on which the opinions of Old Line Bancshares’ and WSB Holdings’ financial advisors were based, may significantly alter the value of WSB Holdings or the prices of the shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock or WSB Holdings common stock by the time the merger is completed.  The opinions do not speak as of the time the merger will be completed or as of any date other than the date of such opinions.  Because Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings do not currently anticipate asking their respective financial advisors to update their opinions, the opinions will not address the fairness of the merger consideration from a financial point of view at the time the merger is completed.  The recommendation of WSB Holdings’ board of directors that WSB Holdings stockholders vote “ FOR ” adoption of the merger agreement and the recommendation of Old Line Bancshares’ board of directors that Old Line Bancshares stockholders vote “ FOR ” approval of the merger agreement and the merger, however, are made as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.  For a description of the opinions that Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings received from their respective financial advisors, refer to the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Merger Agreement and the Merger” under the headings “Opinion of Old Line Bancshares’ Financial Advisor” and “Opinion of WSB Holdings’ Financial Advisor.”
 
 
 
16

 
 

 
The market price of Old Line Bancshares common stock after the merger may be affected by factors different from those affecting the shares of Old Line Bancshares or WSB Holdings currently.   The businesses of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings differ and, accordingly, the results of operations of the combined company and the market price of the combined company’s shares of common stock may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the independent results of operations and market prices of common stock of each of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings.  For a discussion of the businesses of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings and of certain factors to consider in connection with those businesses, see “Business of Old Line Bancshares, Inc.,” “Business of Old Line Bank,” “Business of WSB Holdings, Inc.” and “Business of The Washington Savings Bank, F.S.B.”
 
If the merger is not completed, Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings will have incurred substantial expenses without realizing the expected benefits.   Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings have incurred substantial expenses in connection with the execution of the merger agreement and the merger.  The completion of the merger depends on the satisfaction of specified conditions, including the approval of the stockholders of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings and the receipt of regulatory approvals.  There is no guarantee that these conditions will be met.  If the merger is not completed, these expenses could have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of Old Line Bancshares and/or WSB Holdings because they would not have realized the expected benefits.
 
The merger must be approved by multiple governmental agencies.   Before the merger may be completed, various approvals must be obtained from the Federal Reserve Board and the Maryland Commissioner.  In addition, the OCC must receive notice of the bank merger.  These governmental entities may impose conditions on the completion of the merger or require changes to the terms of the merger.  Although Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings do not currently expect that any such conditions or changes would be imposed, there can be no assurance that they will not be, and such conditions or changes could have the effect of delaying completion of the merger or imposing additional costs on or limiting the revenues of Old Line Bancshares following the merger, any of which might have a material adverse effect on Old Line Bancshares following the merger.  Old Line Bancshares is not obligated to complete the merger if the regulatory approvals received in connection with the completion of the merger include any conditions or requirements that, in the reasonable opinion of its board of directors, would so materially and adversely impact the economic or business benefits to Old Line Bancshares following the merger as to render consummation of the merger inadvisable, but Old Line Bancshares could choose to waive this condition.
 
Failure to complete the merger could negatively impact the stock prices and future businesses and financial results of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings.   If the merger is not completed, the ongoing businesses of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings may be adversely affected and Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings will be subject to several risks, including the following:
 
·  
WSB Holdings may be required, under certain circumstances, to pay Old Line Bancshares a termination fee of $1,750,000 under the merger agreement;
 
·  
Old Line Bancshares may be required, under certain circumstances, to pay WSB Holdings a termination fee of $750,000 under the merger agreement;
 
·  
Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings will be required to pay certain costs relating to the merger, whether or not the merger is completed, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor and printing fees;
 
·  
Under the merger agreement, WSB Holdings is subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of its business prior to completing the merger, which may adversely affect its ability to execute certain of its business strategies; and
 
·  
Matters relating to the merger may require substantial commitments of time and resources by Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings management that could otherwise have been devoted to other opportunities that may have been beneficial to Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings as independent companies, as the case may be; and WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank will still be subject to the provisions of the agreement with the OCC and Federal Reserve Board, respectively, described in the section headed “– Additional Risk Factors Relating to WSB Holdings – WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank have entered into supervisory agreements with their regulators that may result in adverse results to WSB Holdings’ operations.
 
 
 
17

 
 
 
In addition, if the merger is not completed, Old Line Bancshares and/or WSB Holdings may experience negative reactions from the financial markets and from their respective customers and employees.  Old Line Bancshares and/or WSB Holdings also could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the merger or to enforcement proceedings commenced against Old Line Bancshares or WSB Holdings to perform their respective obligations under the merger agreement.  If the merger is not completed, Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings cannot assure their stockholders that the risks described above will not materialize and will not materially affect the business, financial results and stock prices of Old Line Bancshares and/or WSB Holdings.
 
Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings may choose not to proceed with the merger if it is not completed by July 1, 2013.   Either Old Line Bancshares or WSB Holdings may terminate the merger agreement if the merger has not been completed by July 1, 2013.  See “The Merger Agreement and the Merger – Terms of the Merger – Termination.”  There can be no assurance that all conditions to the merger will have been satisfied by July 1, 2013.  See “The Merger Agreement and the Merger – Terms of the Merger – Conditions to the Merger.”
 
Pending litigation related to the merger may delay or prevent the merger and could cause Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings to incur significant costs and expenses.   As discussed in the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Litigation Related to the Merger,”   Rosalie Jones, both individually and on behalf of a putative class of WSB Holdings’ stockholders, filed a complaint in the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County, Maryland, against WSB Holdings and its directors as well as Old Line Bancshares.  The complaint asks the Court to enjoin the merger based on allegations that, among others things, the merger consideration to be paid to stockholders of WSB Holdings is inadequate and, in approving that consideration and the other terms of the merger agreement, the directors of WSB Holdings breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders.  If the merger is consummated prior to the time these claims are adjudicated, then the plaintiff has asked the Court to rescind the merger or award rescissory damages to the plaintiff and the other members of the putative class of stockholders.  This litigation could delay or even prevent the merger and will likely cause WSB Holdings and Old Line Bancshares to incur significant legal fees and other costs to defend the claims, which could reduce the aggregate merger consideration that will be payable to stockholders of WSB Holdings if and when the merger is consummated and/or adversely impact the financial condition and results of operations of WSB Holdings and Old Line Bancshares, both before and after the merger.  No assurance can be given that Old Line Bancshares, WSB Holdings or the directors of WSB Holdings will be successful in the defense of these claims.
 
Risk Factors Relating to Old Line Bancshares’ Business
 
This section discusses risks relating to Old Line Bancshares’ business and includes risks we will continue to face after the merger.  References in this subsection to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Old Line Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
 
 
 
18

 
 
 
If economic conditions deteriorate further, our borrowers’ ability to repay loans may decline and the value of the collateral securing our loans may decrease.   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.  While the recession has officially ended and there continues to be evidence of improvement in the economy, it remains unclear when conditions will improve to the extent that they will positively impact borrowers’ ability to repay their loans in general and demand for loans overall.  Although signs of stability have emerged, we expect that the business environment in the State of Maryland and the entire United States will continue to present challenges for the foreseeable future.  Although we have seen limited and sporadic pockets of price stability or even appreciation in our market area, there remains potential for future decline in real estate values.  Because real estate related loans comprise a significant portion of our 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 four 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 do not significantly improve or further deteriorate, it could adversely affect our liquidity.  Old Line Bank must maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure 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 FHLB 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 four 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 FHLB 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 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 regulatory authorities may enact additional laws and regulations 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.
 
 
 
 
19

 
 
Various provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”), enacted in July 2010, may adversely impact our results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.  The Dodd-Frank Act represents a comprehensive overhaul of the U.S. financial services industry.  Among other things, the Dodd-Frank Act establishes the new federal Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (the “BCFP”), includes provisions affecting corporate governance and executive compensation disclosure at all SEC reporting companies, allows financial institutions to pay interest on business checking accounts, broadens the base for FDIC insurance assessments, and includes new restrictions on how mortgage brokers and loan originators may be compensated.  The Dodd-Frank Act requires the BCFP and other federal agencies to implement many new and significant rules and regulations to implement its various provisions.  There are many regulations under the Dodd-Frank act that have not yet been proposed or adopted.  We will not know the full impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on our business for years until regulations implementing the statute are adopted and implemented.  As a result, we cannot at this time predict the extent to which the Dodd-Frank Act will impact our business, operations or financial condition.  However, compliance with these new laws and regulations may require us to make changes to our business and operations and will likely result in additional costs and a diversion of management’s time from other business activities, any of which may adversely impact our results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.  Further, if the industry responds to provisions allowing financial institutions to pay interest on business checking accounts by competing for those deposits with interest bearing accounts, this may put some degree of downward pressure on our net interest margin when and if interest rates begin to increase.
 
Because we serve a limited market area in Maryland, an 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 Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Prince George’s and St. Mary’s.  We have expanded in the counties in which we have historically operated and into Calvert and St. Mary’s Counties, 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 the last four years, 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 executive management team, including James W. Cornelsen, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Joseph E. Burnett, our Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer, Christine M. Rush, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Sandi F. Burnett, our Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer.  They provide valuable services to us and would be difficult to replace. Although we have entered into employment agreements with these executives, the existence of such agreements does not assure that we will retain their services.
 
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.
 
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.  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.
 
 
 
20

 
 
 
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 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 four 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.
 
As of September 30, 2012, commercial and industrial, construction, and commercial real estate mortgage loans comprise approximately 81.92% 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 geopolitical 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 reprice 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 reprice 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 than liability 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 all of our investment securities portfolio (and 20.9% of total assets) at September 30, 2012 as available for sale.  We “mark to market” temporary unrealized gains and losses in the estimated value of the available for sale portfolio and reflect this adjustment as a separate item in stockholders’ equity, net of taxes.  As of September 30, 2012, we had temporary unrealized gains in our available for sale portfolio of $3.2 million (net of taxes).  As a result of the recent economic recession and the continued economic slowdown, several municipalities continue to report budget deficits and companies continue to report 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.
 
Any future issuances of common stock in connection with acquisitions or otherwise could dilute your ownership of Old Line Bancshares.   We may use our common stock to acquire other companies or to make investments in banks and other complementary businesses in the future.  We may also issue common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, through public or private offerings, in order to raise additional capital in connection with future acquisitions, to satisfy regulatory capital requirements or for general corporate purposes.  Any such stock issuances would dilute your ownership interest in Old Line Bancshares and may dilute the per share value of the common stock.
 
Our future acquisitions, if any, may cause us to become more susceptible to adverse economic events.   While we currently have no definitive plans to acquire additional financial institutions (other than WSB Holdings), we may do so in the future if an attractive acquisition opportunity arises that is consistent with our business plan.  Any future business acquisitions could be material to us, and the degree of success achieved in acquiring and integrating these businesses into Old Line Bancshares could have a material effect on the value of our common stock.  In addition, any acquisition could require us to use substantial cash or other liquid assets or to incur debt.  In those events, we could become more susceptible to future economic downturns and competitive pressures.
 
We face limits on our ability to lend.    The amount of our capital limits the amount that we can loan to a single borrower.  Generally, under current law, we may lend up to 15% of our unimpaired capital and surplus to any one borrower.  As of September 30, 2012, we were able to lend approximately $10.5 million to any one borrower.  This amount is significantly less than that of many of our larger 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.
 
Additional capital may not be available when needed or required by regulatory authorities.   Federal and state regulatory authorities require us to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations.  In addition, we may elect to raise additional capital to support our business or to finance future acquisitions, if any, or we may otherwise elect or our regulators may require that we raise additional capital.  Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets, economic conditions and a number of other factors, many of which are outside our control.  Current conditions in the capital markets are such that traditional sources of capital may not be available to us on reasonable terms if we needed to raise additional capital.  Accordingly, we may not be able to raise additional capital if needed or on terms that are favorable or otherwise not dilutive to existing stockholders.  If we cannot raise additional capital when needed or on desirable terms, it may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
 
We face substantial competition which could adversely affect our growth and operating results.   We operate in a competitive market for financial services and face 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 we do, and are able to offer certain services that we are not able to offer.  If we cannot attract deposits and make loans at a sufficient level, our operating results will suffer, as will our opportunities for growth.

System failure or cybersecurity breaches of our network security could subject us to increased operating costs as well as litigation and other potential losses.   We rely heavily on communications and information systems to conduct our business. The computer systems and network infrastructure we use could be vulnerable to unforeseen hardware and cybersecurity issues. Our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect our computer equipment against damage from fire, power loss, telecommunications failure or a similar catastrophic event. Any damage or failure that causes an interruption in our operations could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect the computer systems and network infrastructure we use, including our Internet banking activities, against damage from physical break-ins, cybersecurity breaches and other disruptive problems caused by the Internet or other users. Such computer break-ins and other disruptions would jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted through our computer systems and network infrastructure, which may result in significant liability to us, subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny, damage our reputation, result in a loss of customers, and inhibit current and potential customers from our Internet banking services, any or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  Each year, we add additional security measures to our computer systems and network infrastructure to mitigate the possibility of cybersecurity breaches including firewalls and penetration testing, but there can be no assurance that such security measures will be effective in preventing such breaches, damage or failures.  We continue to investigate cost effective measures as well as insurance protection; there is no guarantee, however, that such insurance, if obtained, would cover all costs associated with any breach, damage or failure of our computer systems and network infrastructure.
 
Consumers may decide not to use banks to complete their financial transactions.   Technology and other changes are allowing consumers to complete financial transactions through alternative methods that historically have involved banks.   For example, consumers can now maintain funds that would have historically been held as bank deposits in brokerage accounts, mutual funds or general-purpose reloadable prepaid cards. Consumers can also complete transactions such as paying bills and transferring funds directly without the assistance of banks.  The process of eliminating banks as intermediaries could result in the loss of fee income, as well as the loss of customer deposits and the related income generated from those deposits.  The loss of these revenue streams and the lower cost of deposits as a source of funds could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Additional Risk Factors Associated with WSB Holdings
 
WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank have entered into supervisory agreements with their regulators that may result in adverse results to WSB Holdings’ operations.
 
On June 3, 2011, WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank entered into separate supervisory agreements with the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”), their primary banking regulator on such date.  The agreements, which are formal enforcement actions initiated by the OTS, require WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank to take certain measures to improve their safety and soundness and maintain ongoing compliance with applicable laws.  During the course of a routine review of WSB Holdings by the OTS, examiners identified certain supervisory issues, primarily related to classified assets.  The supervisory agreements set forth the actions that WSB Holdings, The Washington Savings Bank and their boards of directors must undertake to address the issues.  Pursuant to regulatory changes instituted by the Dodd-Frank Act, WSB Holdings is now regulated by the Federal Reserve Board and The Washington Savings Bank is now regulated by the OCC.  As the current regulators, the agreements are currently enforced by the OCC with respect to The Washington Savings Bank and the Federal Reserve Board with respect to WSB Holdings.
 
The supervisory agreements include timeframes to implement the compliance provisions contained therein, including requirements to report to the applicable regulator.  The agreements also require each of WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank to designate a committee of its board of directors that will be responsible for overseeing compliance with the applicable supervisory agreement.  Each agreement will remain in effect until terminated, modified or suspended by the Federal Reserve Board or OCC, as applicable.
 
 
 
23

 
 
 
WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank believe that they have taken all of the actions required by the supervisory agreements and have submitted their plans to the OCC for approval.
 
The impact of the written agreement on WSB Holdings’ operations as well as deteriorating credit markets may have an adverse impact on the financial condition and operations, including maintaining acceptable liquidity levels, and may negatively impact the financial condition, results of operations, and business operations of the combined company after the merger.  While Old Line Bancshares and Old Line Bank do not believe they will be subject to these agreements after the merger is completed, they cannot assure you that these written agreements will be terminated after the merger or the bank merger.
 
WSB Holdings’ loan portfolio is concentrated in commercial and real estate and in certain geographic areas.    WSB Holdings’ commercial loans, including commercial real estate loans, totaled $68.4 million as of September 30, 2012, or 37% of its loan portfolio, while its residential real estate loans totaled $114.6 million, or 61% of its loan portfolio.  Additionally, its construction loans totaled $3.7 million as of September 30, 2012, or 2% of its loan portfolio.  Approximately 68% of WSB Holdings’ loans were originated in Maryland.  Commercial lending generally carries a higher degree of credit risk than do residential mortgage loans because of several factors including larger loan balances, dependence on the successful operation of a business or a project for repayment, or loan terms with a balloon payment rather than full amortization over the loan term.  Further, continued or further weakness in the real estate market could adversely affect The Washington Savings Bank’s customers, which in turn could adversely impact the loan portfolio.
 
An increase in non-performing loans could result in a loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for loan losses and an increase in charge-offs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of WSB Holdings, and, upon consummation of the merger, of Old Line Bancshares.
 
WSB Holdings’ asset quality issues may deteriorate prior to completion of the merger .   WSB Holdings’ non-performing assets, including other real estate owned (“OREO”), were $19.2 million at September 30, 2012, compared to $17.7 million at December 31, 2011.  Non-performing assets, including OREO, as a percentage of total assets were 5.16%  at September 30, 2012, compared to 4.59% at December 31, 2011.  Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $2.8 million, compared to $2.2 million in the same period of 2011.  Should asset quality continue to deteriorate, this may have an adverse effect on WSB Holdings’ financial and capital positions and, upon consummation of the merger, Old Line Bancshares’ financial and capital positions.
 
Risk Factors as they Relate to WSB Holdings Stockholders in Connection with the Merger
 
WSB Holdings’ directors and executive officers have financial interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of WSB Holdings stockholders .  In considering the information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, you should be aware that WSB Holdings’ directors and executive officers have financial interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of WSB Holdings stockholders.  The WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank directors who collectively hold approximately 47.8% of the outstanding WSB Holdings stock have agreed to vote in favor of the merger proposal.  This agreement may have the effect of discouraging persons from making a proposal to acquire WSB Holdings.  Further, certain executive officers of WSB Holdings may be entitled to payments in connection with the merger either under existing arrangements and agreements or the merger agreement.  Old Line Bancshares and Old Line Bank have also agreed to appoint or elect two persons selected by WSB Holdings, which the merger agreement contemplates will be William J. Harnett and Michael J. Sullivan, who will be compensated for their service on the board of directors of Old Line Bank.  These and certain other additional interests of WSB Holdings’ directors and executive officers are described in detail in “The Merger Agreement and the Merger – Interests of Directors, Officers and Others in the Merger.”  These circumstances may cause some of WSB Holdings directors and executive officers to view the proposed transaction differently than you view it.
 
 
 
24

 
 
 
WSB Holdings stockholders may not receive the form of merger consideration that they elect.   Depending on the elections made by all WSB Holdings stockholders, certain WSB Holdings stockholders who elect to receive cash consideration may instead receive shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock for all or a portion of their shares of WSB Holdings common stock, and some WSB Holdings stockholders who elect to receive the stock consideration may instead receive cash for all or a portion of their shares of WSB Holdings common stock.
 
If WSB Holdings stockholders oversubscribe for the cash portion of the merger consideration, those WSB Holdings stockholders electing to receive cash will have the amount of cash they selected reduced and will receive all or a portion of their consideration in the form of shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock.  Similarly, if WSB stockholders oversubscribe for the Old Line Bancshares common stock portion of the merger consideration, those WSB Holdings stockholders electing to receive shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock will have the amount of common stock they selected reduced and will receive all or a portion of their consideration in the form of cash.  The allocation process will be administered by Old Line Bancshares’ exchange agent as set forth in the merger agreement, and we intend to instruct the exchange agent to perform any such allocations on a pro rata basis.  Accordingly, at the time WSB Holdings stockholders vote on the proposal to approve the merger agreement, they will not know the form of merger consideration that they will receive, regardless of their intended election.  In addition, to the extent that WSB Holdings stockholders receive all or a portion of the merger consideration in a form that they did not elect, they also will not know the tax consequences that will result upon the exchange of their shares of WSB Holdings common stock.  See “The Merger Agreement and the Merger – Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences.”
 
Because the aggregate merger consideration is subject to adjustment, WSB Holdings stockholders will not know until the effective time of the merger the value of the consideration they will receive in the merger.   Upon completion of the merger, each share of WSB Holdings common stock will be converted into the right to receive merger consideration consisting of shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock and/or cash pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement.  The value of the aggregate merger consideration to be received by WSB Holdings stockholders will be adjusted as provided in the merger agreement for certain operating losses, asset quality changes, changes in the value of certain investment securities and merger-related expenses incurred by WSB Holdings.  Assuming there are no adjustments to the aggregate merger consideration, the value of the per-share cash consideration would be $6.09 and the exchange ratio with respect to the per-share stock consideration, based on 7,995,232 shares of WSB Holdings common stock outstanding as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, would be 0.5608.  In addition, the per-share merger consideration will be reduced if the aggregate merger consideration is adjusted, however, and these calculations will not be completed until the closing of the merger.
 
Further, the exchange ratio will not be adjusted if the average price of Old Line Bancshares common stock, as determined pursuant to the merger agreement, decreases, although as discussed below WSB Holdings can terminate the merger agreement if the average price falls below $8.14 and Old Line Bancshares does not increase the merger consideration.  As a result, the value of shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock that a WSB Holdings stockholder receives in the merger will decline correspondingly with declines in the average price of Old Line Bancshares common stock prior to and as of the date the merger consideration is received.
 
Accordingly, at the time of the special meeting of WSB Holdings stockholders and prior to the election deadline, WSB Holdings stockholders will not know or be able to calculate the amount of the consideration they will receive, the exchange ratio that will be used to determine the number of shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock that they would receive upon completion of the merger, or the value of any shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock they would receive upon completion of the merger.  Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in the businesses, operations and prospects of Old Line Bancshares and regulatory considerations.  Many of these factors are beyond Old Line Bancshares’ control.  You should obtain current market quotations for shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock
 
 
 
25

 
 
 
WSB Holdings has the option, but is not required, to terminate the merger agreement if the average price of the Old Line Bancshares common stock falls below $8.14, although WSB Holdings does not have this option if Old Line Bancshares, in its sole discretion, increases the aggregate merger consideration to at least $40.8 million (subject to adjustment) as set forth in the merger agreement.  WSB Holdings cannot predict at this time whether or not its board of directors would exercise its right to terminate the merger agreement if these conditions were met.  The merger agreement does not provide for a resolicitation of WSB Holdings stockholders in the event that the conditions are met and the WSB Holdings board nevertheless chooses to complete the transaction.  WSB Holdings’ board of directors has made no decision as to whether it would exercise its right to terminate the merger agreement.  In considering whether to exercise its right to terminate the merger agreement, WSB Holdings’ board of directors would take into account all the relevant facts and circumstances that exist at the time and would consult with its financial advisor and legal counsel.
 
The merger agreement limits WSB Holdings’ ability to pursue alternative transactions to the merger and requires WSB Holdings to pay a termination fee if it does.   The merger agreement prohibits WSB Holdings and its directors, officers, representatives and agents, subject to narrow exceptions, from initiating, encouraging, soliciting or entering into discussions with any third party regarding alternative acquisition proposals.  The prohibition limits WSB Holdings’ ability to pursue offers from other possible acquirers that may be superior from a financial point of view.  If WSB Holdings receives an unsolicited proposal from a third party that is superior from a financial point of view to that made by Old Line Bancshares and the merger agreement is terminated, WSB Holdings would be required to pay a termination fee of $1,750,000.  This fee makes it less likely that a third party will make an alternative acquisition proposal.
 
The federal income tax consequences of the merger for WSB Holdings stockholders will be dependent upon the merger consideration received.   The federal income tax consequences of the merger to you will depend upon the merger consideration you receive.  In general, if you exchange your shares of WSB Holdings common stock solely for cash, you will recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the cash you receive and your adjusted tax basis in your WSB Holdings common stock.  If you receive solely Old Line Bancshares common stock in exchange for your WSB Holdings common stock, you generally will not recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.  However, you generally will have to recognize gain or loss in connection with cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock.  If you receive a combination of cash and Old Line Bancshares common stock in the transaction, you generally will not recognize loss but will recognize gain, if any, to the extent of any cash received.  For a more detailed discussion of the federal income tax consequences of the transaction to you, see “The Merger Agreement and the Merger – Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences.”
 
After the merger is completed, WSB Holdings stockholders who receive Old Line Bancshares common stock for some or all of their shares of WSB Holdings common stock will become Old Line Bancshares stockholders and will have different rights that may be less advantageous than their current rights.   Upon completion of the merger, WSB Holdings stockholders who receive Old Line Bancshares common stock for some or all of their shares of WSB Holdings common stock will become Old Line Bancshares stockholders.  Differences in WSB Holdings’ certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation and bylaws, as well as differences between the DGCL and the MGCL, will result in changes to the rights of WSB Holdings stockholders who become Old Line Bancshares stockholders.  For more information, see “Comparison of the Stockholder Rights.”  A stockholder of WSB Holdings may conclude that his, her or its current rights under the DGCL and WSB Holdings’ certificate of incorporation and bylaws are more advantageous than the rights they may have as an Old Line Bancshares stockholder under the MGCL and Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation and bylaws.
 
 
 
26

 
 
 
WSB Holdings’ stockholders will have less influence as stockholders of Old Line Bancshares than as stockholders of WSB Holdings.   WSB Holdings stockholders currently have the right to vote in the election of the board of directors of WSB Holdings and on other matters affecting WSB Holdings.  The stockholders of WSB Holdings as a group will own approximately 29.9% of the combined organization (Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings).  When the merger occurs, each stockholder that receives shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock will become a stockholder of Old Line Bancshares with a percentage ownership of the combined organization smaller than such stockholder’s percentage ownership of WSB Holdings.  Because of this, stockholders of WSB Holdings will have less influence on the management and policies of Old Line Bancshares than they now have on the management and policies of WSB Holdings.

THE OLD LINE BANCSHARES SPECIAL MEETING
 
Date, Time and Place
 
Old Line Bancshares will hold a special meeting of its stockholders at its office located at 1525 Pointer Ridge Place, Bowie, Maryland, at _____ on __________.
 
Purpose of the Special Meeting
 
At the special meeting, Old Line Bancshares’ stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon proposals to:
 
·  
Approve the merger agreement between Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings and the merger of WSB Holdings with and into Old Line Bancshares;
 
·  
Adjourn the special meeting if more time is needed to solicit proxies; and
 
·  
Transact any other business that may properly be brought before the special meeting.
 
Recommendation of the Board of Directors of Old Line Bancshares
 
The Old Line Bancshares board of directors has determined that the merger is advisable and in the best interests of Old Line Bancshares and its stockholders and recommends that Old Line Bancshares’ stockholders vote “FOR” approval of the merger agreement and the merger.
 
Record Date; Stockholders Entitled to Vote
 
Stockholders of record at the close of business on ___________, which the Old Line Bancshares board of directors has set as the record date, are entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting.  As of the close of business on that date, there were outstanding and entitled to vote ________ shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, each of which is entitled to one vote.
 
Quorum
 
The presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the special meeting (or ___________ shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock) will be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the special meeting.  Abstentions are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the special meeting.
 
Under Maryland law, broker non-votes are also counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business at special meetings.  In general, with respect to shares held in street name, the holders of record have the authority to vote shares for which their customers do not provide voting instructions only on certain routine, uncontested items.  In the case of non-routine or contested items, the institution holding street name shares cannot vote the shares if it has not received voting instructions.  These are considered to be “broker non-votes.”  Since there are no routine items to be voted on at the special meeting, nominee record holders of Old Line Bancshares common stock that do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owners of such shares will not be able to return a proxy card with respect to such shares; as a result, these shares will not be considered present at the special meeting and will not count towards the satisfaction of a quorum.
 
Vote Required
 
Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation provide that the approval of certain transactions, including a merger, requires the vote of a majority of the shares of each class of Old Line Bancshares’ capital stock entitled to vote thereon, if the merger has been approved by a majority of its board of directors.  As a result, the proposal at the Old Line Bancshares special meeting to approve the merger agreement and the merger requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock entitled to vote on the proposal.  The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock cast on the matter is required to adjourn the special meeting to solicit additional proxies, if necessary.
 
 
 
 
33

 
 
 
Directors and executive officers of Old Line Bancshares and their affiliates, who beneficially own approximately ____% of Old Line Bancshares common stock outstanding as of the record date, are expected to vote for approval of the merger agreement and the merger.
 
Abstentions and Failure to Vote
 
Because approval of the merger agreement and the merger requires the affirmative vote of the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting, abstentions, the failure to vote and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes against this matter.  In other words, if you are an Old Line Bancshares stockholder and fail to vote, fail to instruct your broker or nominee to vote, or vote to abstain, it will have the effect of a vote against the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger.  Accordingly, the Old Line Bancshares board of directors urges you to submit your proxy to vote as instructed below.
 
As noted above, approval of the proposal to adjourn the special meeting to solicit additional proxies, if necessary, requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all votes cast on the matter at the special meeting.  Abstentions, the failure to vote and broker non-votes are not included in calculating votes cast with respect to this proposal and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal (assuming a quorum is present).
 
Voting of Proxies
 
The enclosed proxy with respect to the Old Line Bancshares special meeting is solicited by the board of directors of Old Line Bancshares.  The board of directors has selected Daniel Deming and James Dent, or either of them, to act as proxies with full power of substitution.
 
Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, you may submit a proxy to vote your shares via Internet, telephone or mail as outlined below.  You will need information from your proxy card or electronic delivery notice to submit your proxy to vote your shares by Internet or telephone.
 
·  
By Internet:  Go to www.proxyvote.com and follow the instructions.
 
·  
By Telephone:  Call 1-800-690-6903 and follow the voice mail prompts.
 
·  
By Mail:  Mark your vote, sign your name exactly as it appears on your proxy card, date your proxy card and return it in the envelope provided.
 
All proxies will be voted as directed by the stockholder on the proxy form.  A proxy, if executed and not revoked, will be voted in the following manner (unless it contains instructions to the contrary, in which event it will be voted in accordance with such instructions):
 
·  
FOR approval of the merger agreement and the merger; and
 
·  
FOR approval of the proposal to adjourn the special meeting to solicit additional proxies, if necessary.
 
At the date hereof, management has no knowledge of any business that will be presented for consideration at the special meeting and that would be required to be set forth in this joint proxy statement/prospectus or in the related Old Line Bancshares proxy card, other than the matters set forth in the Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders of Old Line Bancshares.  In accordance with Maryland law, business transacted at the Old Line Bancshares special meeting will be limited to those matters set forth in the notice.  Nonetheless, if any other matter is properly presented at the Old Line Bancshares special meeting for consideration, proxies will be voted in the discretion of the proxy holder on such matter.
 
 
 
34

 
 
 
Your vote is important.  Accordingly, please sign and return the enclosed proxy card, or indicate your vote by phone or Internet as described above, as soon as possible whether or not you intend to attend the Old Line Bancshares special meeting.
 
Shares held in Street Name
 
If you hold your shares in a stock brokerage account or if your shares are held by a bank or other nominee (that is, in street name), you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares if you wish them to be counted.  Please follow the voting instructions provided by your bank, broker or other nominee.  Please note that you may not vote shares held in street name by returning a proxy card directly to Old Line Bancshares or by voting in person at the meeting unless you provide a “legal proxy,” which you must obtain from your bank, broker or other nominee.  Further, brokers who hold shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock on behalf of their customers may not give a proxy to Old Line Bancshares to vote those shares without specific instructions from their customers.
 
If you are an Old Line Bancshares stockholder and you do not instruct your broker on how to vote your shares, your broker may not vote your shares at the special meeting.
 
Your vote is important.  Accordingly, please sign and return your broker’s instructions whether or not you plan to attend the Old Line Bancshares special meeting in person.
 
Revocability of Proxies
 
A proxy is revocable at any time prior to or at the special meeting by written notice to Old Line Bancshares, by executing a proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the special meeting and voting in person.  A written notice of revocation of a proxy should be sent to the Secretary, Old Line Bancshares, Inc., 1525 Pointer Ridge Place, Bowie, Maryland 20716, and will be effective if received by the Secretary prior to the special meeting.  The presence of a stockholder at the special meeting alone will not automatically revoke such stockholder’s proxy.
 
Solicitation of Proxies
 
Old Line Bancshares will pay the costs of soliciting proxies from Old Line Bancshares stockholders.  These costs may include reasonable out of pocket expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.  Old Line Bancshares will reimburse brokers and other persons for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy materials to customers who are beneficial owners of the common stock of Old Line Bancshares registered in the name of nominees.
 
In addition to solicitation by mail, officers and directors of Old Line Bancshares may solicit proxies personally or by telephone.  Old Line Bancshares will not specifically compensate these persons for soliciting such proxies, but may reimburse them for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any.

THE WSB HOLDINGS SPECIAL MEETING
 
Date, Time and Place
 
WSB Holdings will hold a special meeting of its stockholders at ____________ at _____________ on _________________.
 
Purpose of the Special Meeting
 
At the special meeting, WSB Holdings’ stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon proposals to:
 
·  
Approve the merger agreement between Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holding;
 
·  
Approve an advisory (nonbinding) vote to approve “golden parachute compensation” payable to the named executive officers of WSB Holdings as follows: RESOLVED, that the stockholders of WSB Holdings, Inc. approve, on an advisory (nonbinding) basis, the agreements for and compensation to be paid to WSB Holding, Inc.’s named executive officers in connection with the merger with Old Line Bancshares, Inc., as disclosed in the section of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus for the merger captioned “The Merger Agreement and the Merger – Interests of Directors, Officers and Others in the Merger – Golden Parachute Compensation for WSB Holdings Named Executive Officers.”
 
·  
Adjourn the special meeting if more time is needed to solicit proxies; and
 
·  
Transact any other business that may properly be brought before the special meeting.
 
Approval of the “golden parachute” proposal is not a condition to completion of the merger, and the vote with respect to this proposal is advisory only and will not be binding on WSB Holdings or Old Line Bancshares, or their respective board of directors or compensation committees.  Therefore, if the merger is approved by the stockholders of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings stockholders and completed, the “golden parachute compensation” will be paid to the WSB Holdings named executive officers, subject to the conditions applicable thereto, regardless of the outcome of this advisory vote.  Please see “The Merger Agreement and the Merger – Interests of Directors, Officers and Others in the Merger – Golden Parachute Compensation for WSB Holdings Named Executive Officers” for a description of the “golden parachute” payments that are the subject of the advisory vote.
 
Recommendation of the Board of Directors of WSB Holdings
 
The WSB Holdings board of directors has unanimously approved the merger agreement and the merger, has unanimously declared them to be advisable and in the best interests of WSB Holdings’ stockholders, and unanimously recommends that WSB Holdings’ stockholders vote “ FOR ” approval of the merger agreement.
 
The WSB Holdings board of directors has also unanimously approved and declared advisable the “golden parachute compensation” that may be paid to Kevin P. Huffman, the President and Chief Operating Officer of WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank, in connection with the merger as described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and it unanimously recommends that stockholders of WSB Holdings approve such compensation.
 
Record Date; Stockholders Entitled to Vote
 
Stockholders of record at the close of business on ___________, which the WSB Holdings board of directors has set as the record date, are entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting.  As of the close of business on that date, there were outstanding and entitled to vote ______ shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, each of which is entitled to one vote.
 
 
 
 
36

 
 
 
Quorum
 
The presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the special meeting (or __________ shares of WSB Holdings common stock) will be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the special meeting.  Abstentions are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the special meeting.
 
Under Delaware law, broker non-votes are also counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business at special meetings.  If your shares are held in the name of a bank, brokerage firm or other similar holder of record (referred to as “in street name”), you will receive instructions from the holder of record that you must follow for you to specify how your shares will be voted.  In general, under the rules of the various national and regional securities exchanges, holders of record have the authority to vote shares for which their customers do not provide voting instructions on certain routine, uncontested items, but not on non-routine proposals.  In the case of non-routine items for which specific voting instructions have not been provided, the institution holding street name shares cannot vote those shares.  These are considered to be “broker non-votes.”  Since there are no routine items to be voted on at the special meeting, nominee record holders of WSB Holdings common stock that do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owners of such shares will not be able to return a proxy card with respect to such shares.  In that case, such shares will not be considered present at the special meeting and will not count toward the satisfaction of a quorum.
 
Vote Required
 
The proposal at the WSB Holdings special meeting to approve the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of WSB Holdings common stock entitled to vote on the proposal.  The approval of the advisory vote on the “golden parachute compensation” and the approval of the proposal to adjourn the special meeting to solicit additional proxies, if necessary, require, in each case, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on those matters.
 
Directors of WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank and their affiliates, who beneficially own approximately ______% of WSB Holdings common stock as of the record date, have agreed in writing to vote for approval of the merger agreement.  The Washington Savings Bank holds _______ shares (______ %) for its employee 401(k) plan, which will be voted for approval of the merger agreement.
 
Abstentions and Failure to Vote
 
Because approval of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of WSB Holdings common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting, abstentions, the failure to vote and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes against this matter.  In other words, if you are a WSB Holdings stockholder and fail to vote, fail to instruct your broker or nominee to vote, or vote to abstain, it will have the effect of a vote against the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger.  Accordingly, the WSB Holdings board of directors urges you to submit your proxy to vote as instructed below.
 
As noted above, approval of the proposals to (i) approve the advisory vote on “golden parachute compensation” that may be paid to Kevin P. Huffman in connection with the merger and (ii) adjourn the special meeting to solicit additional proxies, if necessary, requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all shares present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on those matters.  Because abstentions represent shares entitled to vote under Delaware law, the effect of an abstention will be the same as a vote against these proposals.  The failure to vote and broker non-votes are not included in calculating votes cast with respect to these proposals and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of these proposals (assuming a quorum is present).

Except for its status as the contractual document between the parties with respect to the merger described therein, the merger agreement attached as Annex A hereto is not intended to provide factual information about the parties.  The representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement were made solely for the purposes of such agreement as of specified dates, and are not intended to provide factual, business or financial information about Old Line Bancshares or WSB Holdings.  Moreover, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to stockholders or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings rather than establishing matters as facts.  For the foregoing reasons, you should not rely on the representations and warranties as accurate or complete or as characterizations of the actual state of facts as of any specified date.  We urge you to read the full text of the merger agreement carefully.

Background of the Merger
 
From time to time over the past several years, and in Old Line Bancshares’ case continuing after its acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp in 2011, each of Old Line Bancshares’ and WSB Holdings’ boards of directors and management teams have separately considered various strategic alternatives as part of their continuing efforts to enhance each company’s community banking franchise and to maximize stockholder value.  Each company has considered strategic alternatives which include: continuing as an independent institution; acquiring branch offices or other community banks; establishing related lines of business; and entering into a strategic merger with similarly-sized institutions.  In the case of Old Line Bancshares, these alternatives primarily included acquiring financial institutions with cultures similar to Old Line Bancshares.  In the case of WSB Holdings, these alternatives also included affiliation with another community financial institution with a culture similar to WSB Holdings’ culture.  On April 22, 2010, Old Line Bancshares appointed a special committee of the board of directors (later reconstituted as a joint committee of Old Line Bancshares and Old line Bank) to review potential strategic opportunities in general (the “Strategic Opportunities Committee”), which at that time included consideration of the acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp or Maryland Bank and Trust Company, N.A.  Since its formation, the Special Committee has considered potential acquisitions on an ongoing basis.

In October 2011, the WSB Holdings board of directors met to discuss the goal of strengthening the enterprise and maximizing stockholder value in the then-current economic environment.  The board invited financial services industry consultants David Danielson and Robert Pachence, Jr., of Ambassador, to make presentations to the board regarding industry banking updates, trends in bank stock pricing, M&A trends, and benefits associated with various enterprise strategies.  This discussion included the trends both locally and nationally.  Ambassador gave this presentation free of charge to market its services and not pursuant to any engagement by WSB Holdings or its board.  After further discussion, the board established an ad hoc committee to serve at the pleasure of the board in an advisory capacity for the purpose of enterprise planning, and obtaining information, analyzing prospects for the company which would include continuation of the current business model, merger, acquisition, sale or other corporate opportunities that might strengthen the enterprise and increase stockholder value, identification of potential bankers or consultants that the board may deem useful.  William J. Harnett, the Chairman of the boards of directors of WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank, was appointed the chairman of the Enterprise Planning Committee and he was empowered to enlist such other members of the board as he deemed necessary to make such inquiries and prepare such reports and make such recommendations to the board as may be considered useful in carrying out the goals of the board.

In March or April 2012, after reviewing publicly available information about several financial institutions that he deemed might be appropriate merger partners, and related discussions with Mr. Danielson, Mr. Cornelsen, President and Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Old Line Bancshares and Old Line Bank, determined that a merger with WSB Holdings might present a good opportunity to further its strategic plan.  He asked Gregory S. Proctor, a director of Old Line Bancshares and Old Line Bank, to contact WSB Holdings on Old Line Bancshares’ behalf and set up a meeting.  Mr. Proctor contacted Michael J. Sullivan, a director of WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank, to set up a meeting to discuss potential common business opportunities.
 
On April 12, 2012, Messrs. Cornelsen and Proctor met with Mr. Sullivan to discuss a possible transaction between Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings.
 
On May 1, 2012, Messrs. Cornelsen and Danielson met to discuss generally the possibility of Old Line Bancshares acquiring WSB Holdings.
 
On May 3, 2012, WSB Holdings directors Charles W. McPherson and Messrs. Sullivan and Harnett met to discuss generally strategic opportunities that may be available to WSB Holdings and/or The Washington Savings Bank.
 
On May 9, 2012, Messrs. Cornelsen and Proctor met with Messrs. Sullivan and McPherson to further discuss the possibility of a merger between the two companies.
 
On May 16, 2012, the Enterprise Planning Committee of WSB Holdings reported back to the board of directors of WSB Holdings that individuals had been approached by representatives of Old Line Bancshares about the process that WSB Holdings and Old Line Bancshares would use to begin discussions about a potential business combination between the companies.  Upon further discussion, including with respect to the increased costs and disadvantages to smaller financial institutions associated with new and pending regulations, including those under the Dodd-Frank Act, the board moved to engage Gordon Feinblatt LLC for advice and representation regarding a potential business combination with Old Line Bancshares.  Additionally, the board authorized the Enterprise Planning Committee to enter into a confidentiality agreement with Old Line Bancshares, satisfactory to WSB Holdings’ counsel, for the purpose of inter-company reviews while seeking a proposal for terms in a business combination.  The board then authorized Mr. Harnett or such officers as he may designate to make due diligence evaluations, solicit fairness opinions, or take other action as may be necessary and proper for the board to consider a business combination with Old Line Bancshares.

On June 21, 2012, the Strategic Opportunities Committee of Old Line Bank met to discuss the status and the merits of the transaction with WSB Holdings.  At this meeting, Mr. Cornelsen reviewed the pro forma financial statements, reviewed his discussions in the meeting with Mr. Harnett and relayed Mr. Harnett’s desire to close the transaction prior to December 31, 2012.  At such meeting, the committee directed Mr. Cornelsen to continue to move forward in exploring the possibility of a merger with WSB Holdings and to negotiate a definitive merger agreement with WSB Holdings on Old Line Bancshares’ behalf.
 
On June 22, 2012, Mr. Cornelsen, on behalf of Old Line Bancshares, sent an initial letter of intent to Mr. Harnett with respect to a proposed merger of WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank into Old Line Bancshares and Old Line Bank, respectively.  The initial letter of intent included, among other things, a price of 90% of tangible book value, with a range of cash from 35% to 50%, price adjustments for certain adverse events, offered two board seats and had limitations on large stockholders.
 
On June 25, Kevin P. Huffman, the President and Chief Operating Officer of WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank, met with Mr. Harnett to discuss the terms of the letter of intent.  Messrs.

Huffman and Harnett discussed the terms of the revised letter of intent, both internally and with representatives of Gordon Feinblatt LLC.  Mr. Harnett directed Gordon Feinblatt LLC to make certain revisions to the letter of intent that he believed were advisable and to circulate that revised draft to Mr. Bonaventure at Ober|Kaler.
 
On July 11, 2012, Mr. Cornelsen, on behalf of Old Line Bancshares, sent a revised letter of intent, executed by Mr. Cornelsen, to Mr. Harnett.  The revised letter of intent, among other things, adjusted the aggregate merger consideration price to $47,769,600, which was approximately 86.6% of tangible book value at June 30, 2012, plus the increase in tangible book value from March 31, 2012 to June 30, 2012, retained the cash portion of the consideration at $17 million, and eliminated certain scenarios requiring an adjustment to the aggregate consideration.  On the same day, Mr. Harnett executed the letter of intent on behalf of WSB Holdings and returned the signed letter of intent to Mr. Cornelsen.  At this time, WSB Holdings requested certain information from Old Line Bancshares so that it could begin its due diligence review of Old Line Bancshares and Old Line Bank.

Old Line Bancshares’ Reasons for the Merger
 
In evaluating acquisition opportunities, Old Line Bancshares looks for financial institutions with business philosophies that are similar to those of Old Line Bancshares and that operate in markets that geographically complement its operations.  In evaluating acquisition opportunities, Old Line Bancshares also considers its long-range strategies, including financial, customer and employee strategies.  Old Line Bancshares, from time to time, reviews its strategic plan to analyze its geographic scope, financial performance and growth opportunities.  Since its acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp, Old Line Bancshares has considered a number of opportunities to expand its presence in its primary market areas; however the Strategic Opportunities Committee concluded that the acquisition of WSB Holdings was the best current opportunity to further this business objective.  In connection with its approval of the merger with WSB Holdings Old Line Bancshares’ board of directors reviewed the terms of the proposed acquisition and definitive agreements and their potential impact to Old Line Bancshares’ constituencies.  In reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and the merger, Old Line Bancshares’ board of directors considered a number of factors, including the following:
 
·  
The acquisition of WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank represents an attractive opportunity for Old Line Bank to broaden its reach within its market areas while remaining a community bank;
 
·  
The advantageous geographic location of The Washington Savings Bank’s branches as they relate to Old Line Bancshares’ long-term strategic plan to expand its presence in its target market;
 
·  
The expectation that the merger would be accretive to earnings in light of the potential cost savings and revenue enhancements;
 
·  
The acquisition of WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank will increase Old Line Bank’s branch locations by over 25% and increase Old Line Bancshares’ total assets by more than $374 million;
 
·  
The increase in overall assets to $1.2 billion will increase Old Line Bancshares’ access to equity and debt markets;
 
·  
The increase in shares outstanding will increase the visibility of and liquidity in Old Line Bancshares’ common stock;
 
·  
The acquisition of WSB Holdings will better position Old Line Bancshares to acquire other community banks in the future;
 
·  
WSB Holdings’ customer service-oriented emphasis with local decision-making ability and a clear focus on the community and local customers, which are consistent with Old Line Bancshares’ business approach;
 
 
 
48

 
 
 
·  
WSB Holdings’ priority in serving the small and mid-size business sectors as well as individuals;
 
·  
The potential operating efficiencies of combining the two entities, potential revenue enhancements, WSB Holdings’ asset quality, and fee income sources;
 
·  
The financial condition, operating results and future prospects of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings;
 
·  
Historical pro forma financial information on the merger, including, among other things, pro forma book value and earnings per share information, dilution analysis, and capital ratio impact information;
 
·  
Acquisition of The Washington Savings Bank would increase Old Line Bank’s legal lending limits;
 
·

The discussion and factors considered by Old Line Bancshares’ board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but includes all material factors considered.  In approving the merger and the ancillary agreements discussed elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Old Line Bancshares’ board did not specifically identify any one factor or group of factors as being more significant than any other factor in the decision making process.  Rather, Old Line Bancshares’ board of directors based its recommendation on the totality of information presented to it.  In addition, individual members of the board may have given differing weight or priority to different factors.  Old Line Bancshares’ board of directors realized there can be no assurance about future results, including results expected or considered in the factors listed above.  However, the board concluded that the potential positive factors outweighed the potential risks of completing the merger.
 
After deliberating with respect to the proposed merger with WSB Holdings, considering, among other things, the factors discussed above and the opinion of Ambassador discussed below, the Old Line Bancshares board of directors approved the merger agreement and the merger with WSB Holdings and declared the merger advisable.
 
The emphasis of the Old Line Bancshares board’s discussion, in considering the transaction, was on the strategic benefits and financial aspects of the transaction, particularly:
 
·  
That the merger would be accretive to Old Line Bancshares’ earnings, absent merger-related costs, if potential cost savings and revenue enhancements are realized;
 
·  
The increase in Old Line Bancshares’ total assets and branch locations resulting from the merger;
 
·  
That the merger will better position Old Line Bancshares to acquire other community banks in the future; and
 
·  
That the increased size will increase Old Line Bancshares’ access to equity and debt markets.
 
There can be no certainty that the above benefits of the merger anticipated by the Old Line Bancshares board of directors will occur.  Actual results may vary materially from those anticipated.  For more information on the factors that could affect actual results, see “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”
 
WSB Holdings’ Reasons for the Merger
 
WSB Holdings’ board of directors has concluded that the merger offers stockholders of WSB Holdings an attractive opportunity to achieve the board’s strategic business objectives, including increasing stockholder value, growing the size of the business and enhancing liquidity for stockholders of WSB Holdings.  In addition, WSB Holdings’ board of directors believes that the customers and communities served by both The Washington Savings Bank and Old Line Bank will benefit from the merger.
 
In deciding to approve the merger agreement and the transactions that it contemplates, WSB Holdings’ board of directors consulted with WSB Holdings’ management, as well as its legal counsel and financial advisor, and considered numerous factors, including the following:
 
·  
Information with respect to the businesses, earnings, operations, financial condition, prospects, capital levels and asset quality of WSB Holdings and Old Line Bancshares, both individually and as a combined company;
 
·  
The perceived risks and uncertainties attendant to WSB Holdings’ operation as an independent banking organization, including the risks and uncertainties related to the continuing sluggish economy and low-interest rate environment, competition in WSB Holdings’ market area, the existing regulatory agreement between The Washington Savings Bank and the OCC and the costs and burdens associated with that agreement, and the increased regulatory costs and increased capital requirements that will likely result from new and pending laws and regulations;
 
 
 
50

 
 
 
·  
The market values of WSB Holdings’ common stock and Old Line Bancshares’ common stock prior to the execution of the merger agreement and the immediate value of the merger to stockholders of WSB Holdings given the merger consideration’s significant premium over the then-current trading price of the shares of WSB Holdings’ common stock, which the board believed represented the true fair market value of the common stock;
 
·  
The long-term value to be received by stockholders of WSB Holdings in the merger as compared to stockholder value projected for WSB Holdings as an independent entity, and the prospects for future appreciation of Old Line Bancshares’ common stock as a result of its strategic initiatives;
 
·  
Old Line Bancshares’ strategies to remain independent and to seek profitable future expansion, leading to continued growth in overall stockholder value;
 
·  
The enhanced liquidity for stockholders of WSB Holdings, including with respect to the shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock to be received in the merger;
 
·  
The culture and business model of Old Line Bank, which the board of directors believes are complimentary to The Washington Savings Bank’s culture and business model, and the perceived competence, experience and community banking philosophy of Old Line Bancshares’ management team, both of which should increase the likelihood that WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank will be successfully integrated with Old Line Bancshares and Old Line Bank;
 
·  
The perceived limited opportunities in the foreseeable future for a strategic partnership with another financial institution, at a similar or higher price, having characteristics which would achieve the benefits for the stockholders that the board believes will be achieved through the merger; and
 
·  
The belief that the merger will be approved by the relevant bank regulatory authorities without undue burden and in a timely manner.
 
The above discussion of the information and factors considered by WSB Holdings’ board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but it does include a description of all material factors considered by the board.   In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the board of directors in connection with its evaluation of the merger, the board did not consider it practical to, nor did it attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered.  In considering these factors, individual directors may have given differing weights to different factors.  WSB Holdings’ board of directors made a collective determination with respect to the merger, based on the conclusion reached by its members and the factors that each of them considered appropriate, that the merger is in the best interests of the stockholders of WSB Holdings.

In rendering its opinion, Ambassador also relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy, reasonableness and completeness of the information, projections and forecasts provided by Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings, with the exception of valuing certain fixed income securities held in the investment portfolio of WSB Holdings.  In valuing these fixed-income securities, Ambassador relied solely on the information provided by WSB Holdings, with the exception of market value.  Ambassador determined the market values of these fixed-income securities based on its own in-house models as well as pricing indications from independent broker-dealers that trade in fixed-income securities.
 
In particular, Ambassador relied upon the results of Old Line Bancshares’ review of WSB Holdings’ loan portfolio and discussions of the results and projections with executive management of Old Line Bancshares.  Ambassador does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, reasonableness and completeness of the materials received; Ambassador did not review any individual credit files or appraisals of any asset or liability; Ambassador is not a legal, regulatory or tax expert and relied on assessments made by advisors to Old Line Bancshares with respect to such issues; and Ambassador did not evaluate the solvency or fair value of WSB Holdings, Old Line Bancshares or any of their respective subsidiaries under any state of federal laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters.
 
Ambassador’s opinion is based on conditions as they existed, and the information received by Ambassador, as of the date of the opinion and Ambassador does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm the opinion. Although Ambassador evaluated the aggregate merger consideration to be paid by Old Line Bancshares in connection with the merger, it did not recommend the specific consideration payable in the merger, which was determined by Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings. Ambassador expressed no opinion as to the price at which Old Line Bancshares or WSB Holdings common stock will trade at any future time.
 
Ambassador expressed no opinion as to the amount or nature of any compensation to officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, of any party to the merger relative to the aggregate consideration to be paid in the merger, or with respect to the fairness of such compensation.
 
Transaction Summary
 
Ambassador described the transaction, stating that Old Line Bancshares has offered to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of WSB Holdings for combination of approximately 2,917,571 shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock and approximately $17 million in cash, or approximately 65% stock and 35% cash, subject to possible adjustment for operating losses, asset quality, the valuation of certain investment securities and expense limitations prior to closing.  The stock consideration will be paid at an exchange ratio of 0.5608 shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock for each share of WSB Holdings common stock, and the cash consideration will be at a rate of $6.09 per share, in each case subject to possible adjustment.  In exchange for their shares of WSB Holdings common stock, the stockholders of WSB Holdings will be permitted to elect to receive shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock or cash, or a combination of stock and cash, subject to proration procedures such that aggregate cash portion of the consideration remains $17 million, absent any adjustments.

Based upon an assumed exchange ratio of 0.5608, absent any adjustments, and the $10.95 per share closing price of Old Line Bancshares common stock on September 7, 2012, Ambassador calculated that the implied value of the aggregate consideration was $49 million, or $6.12 per share.  Ambassador also reviewed the historical trading prices of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings common stock.  As an example, Ambassador noted that based on the assumed exchange ratio, absent any adjustments, the aggregate consideration if Old Line Bancshares common stock rose 10% to $12.05 per share, the aggregate consideration increases to $52.2 million, or $6.52 per share; and if Old Line Bancshares stock fell 10% to $9.86 per share, the aggregate consideration decreases to $45.8 million, or $5.72 per share.
 
Furthermore, Ambassador noted, there are no collars on the exchange ratio, however, if Old Line Bancshares’ average closing price, as defined in the Agreement, falls below $8.14 per share, WSB Holdings has the right to walk-away from the transaction, however, Old Line Bancshares has the right to cure by increasing the consideration.

The following is a summary of the material financial analysis performed by Ambassador in connection with rendering its opinion.
 
Comparable Transactions Analysis
 
To determine the value range of WSB Holdings common stock, Ambassador considered various methodologies including a comparable transaction analysis.   The comparable transaction analysis included:
 
 
·
Acquisition metrics of 54 transactions in the United States announced from January 1, 2012 to September 7, 2012 with deal values in excess of $10 million, excluding mergers of equals; and a review of historical pricing metrics since 1990 (“Nationwide Transactions”).
 
 
·
Acquisition metrics of 44 transactions in the region, subject to certain criteria, announced from January 1, 2009 through September 7, 2012 (definition follows).
 
Ambassador noted that from January 1, 2012 through September 7, 2012, there were 54 announced bank and thrift transactions nationwide with a deal value in excess of $10 million, excluding mergers of equals, and the median percentages of book and tangible book were identical at 116%.  In 2009, 2010 and 2011, the median percentages were similar.  Price times earnings multiples for these periods were less meaningful because of the generally depressed earnings for the selling banks.

Ambassador also considered 44 transactions in the region, which included Maryland, as well as, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and the District of Columbia that were announced from January 1, 2009 through September 7, 2012 with deal values ranging from $5 million to $500 million.  To better analyze the transactions, Ambassador divided the 44 transactions into two groups based on performance and financial condition, to draw clearer distinctions in acquisition pricing multiples.
 
The two groups were “Regional Transactions with Better Seller Fundamentals” and “Regional Transactions with Lesser Seller Fundamentals,” with the latter being the “Most Comparable Transactions.”  The Regional Transactions with Better Seller Fundamentals was comprised of 23 transactions where the selling institution, prior to the announcement, had tangible common equity-to-tangible assets over 6%, non-performing assets including loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing and troubled debt restructure (“NPAs”)-to-assets under 4% and were profitable on an operating basis.  The Most Comparable Transactions were those 21 transactions where the selling institution did not meet one of those three criteria.  Ambassador noted that WSB Holdings met the tangible equity and profitability qualifications, but had NPAs-to-assets of 9.55% as of June 30, 2012, and thus was considered by Ambassador to be more similar to the Regional Transactions with Lesser Seller Fundamentals.

Source: SNL Financial, Charlottesville, Virginia.

These 21 Most Comparable Transactions all had selling institutions with financial characteristics that created median pricing multiples below the median national level, however, WSB Holdings had higher capital-to-assets and higher NPAs-to-assets than any of the institutions.  Ambassador, noted the differences, but determined that the transactions were still comparable as WSB Holdings’ excess capital offset the higher level of NPAs.  Also, if assets had been more aggressively reserved for and charged off, WSB Holdings’ return on equity would have been lower, making it more comparable to the median of the Most Comparable Transactions.

Ambassador noted that the median price-to-earnings was not a good comparable measure as most of the institutions in the Most Comparable Transactions and WSB Holdings, did not have sufficient earnings to generate meaningful price-to-earnings multiples; and price-to-tangible book was the better method of comparison.  The Most Comparable Transactions had a median price-to-tangible book of 90%, versus 89% for Old Line Bancshares’ acquisition of WSB Holdings.
 
Other methods of comparison were considered, including but not limited to, price-to-deposits and the 1-day market premium.  The Most Comparable Transactions had a median price-to-deposits of 7.7%, versus 15.4% for WSB Holdings.  Ambassador noted that the two institutions had price-to-deposits above 15.4%.  Ambassador also noted the 1-day premium offered to WSB Holdings was higher than in all 21 of the Most Comparable Transactions, but this was discounted as WSB Holdings has one shareholder with 41% ownership, which reduces liquidity and the value of shares traded was relatively low.

Discounted Dividend Analysis With and Without Synergies
 
Ambassador performed a discounted dividend analysis to estimate a range for the implied equity value of WSB Holdings common stock.  In this analysis Ambassador assumed discount rates of 12% and 14%, terminal values of 10X and 12X at the end of seven years and a 5% growth rate.
 
·  
Stand alone projections: Assuming a 10% normal capital ratio and a 0.25% return on average assets, the value range of WSB Holdings common stock is from $1.98 per share to $2.19 per share.
 
·  
Stand alone with restructuring marks: Assuming restructuring charges and adjustments to fair value as anticipated by Old Line Bancshares, the value range of WSB Holdings common stock is from $2.83 per share to $3.26 per share.
 
·  
Stand alone with restructuring marks and synergies: Assuming cost savings of 35% of WSB Holdings annualized non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012, the value range of WSB Holdings common stock is from $6.54 per share to $7.81 per share.

Ambassador noted that while none of the Comparable Banks were located in Maryland, two were located in Northern Virginia and served the greater Washington area.  Ambassador then compared Old Line Bancshares to the Comparable Banks in several key financial categories as of June 30, 2012 or for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012.

Ambassador also used a discounted dividend analysis to determine if Old Line Bancshares common stock is fairly valued.  This analysis assumed annual net income growth of 7%, return on average assets of 1.00%, which assumes earnings increases in the future, and dividends paid out on capital in excess of 8.5% of assets.  These growth assumptions are not based upon any formal projections or budgets and are subject to significant uncertainties, including changes in interest rates, the competitive landscape, and the regulatory environment.
 
To approximate the terminal values of Old Line Bancshares common stock at the end of a seven year period, price times earnings multiples of 10X and 12X were chosen to reflect historical bank trading multiples.  The resulting dividend streams and terminal values were then discounted to present values using discount rates of 12% and 14%, chosen to reflect an appropriate rate of return that may be required by a prospective buyer of the stock.  Under these scenarios, the present value of Old Line Bancshares common stock ranged from $9.49 per share to $12.12 per share.

Other Analyses

Financial Impact Analysis on Old Line Bancshares
 
Ambassador also conducted a financial impact analysis that included the impact of the merger on tangible book value at closing and earnings per share for the three years after closing.  Ambassador used earnings estimates provided by WSB Holdings and Old Line Bancshares and these estimates were reviewed by Old Line Bancshares management.  In addition, Ambassador assumed that the merger will result in cost savings equal to management’s estimate, earnings enhancements will be achieved and that mark-to-market estimates will be as assumed and additional capital of $5 million will be raised by Old Line Bancshares.
 
 
 
61

 
 
 
Ambassador’s analysis determined that the merger would be dilutive to tangible book per share, and, absent merger related expenses and restructuring charges, is accretive to earnings per share in the twelve month period following the merger.  Additionally, Ambassador noted that WSB Holdings pro-forma ownership of Old Line Bancshares common stock will be approximately 28.5%.
 
Furthermore, Ambassador’s analysis indicated Old Line Bank’s Leverage Ratio, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio, and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio would remain above the minimums to be considered well capitalized.  This analysis was reviewed by Old Line Bancshares management.  All of the results of Ambassador’s financial impact analysis may vary materially from the actual results achieved by Old Line Bancshares.
 
WSB Holdings Projections Used in the Fairness Opinion
 
In connection with the analysis performed by Ambassador in its fairness opinion as described above, Ambassador reviewed certain financial projections for The Washington Savings Bank provided by WSB Holdings, which projections did not take account of the merger.  Such financial projections, certain portions of which are set forth below, were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure.  This financial information, and the assumptions underlying such information, may have changed since their original preparation.

Conclusion
 
Since no comparable transactions or institutions used in Ambassador’s various analyses are identical to Old Line Bancshares, WSB Holdings or the particulars of this merger, the results do not represent mathematical certainty.  Instead the comparisons rely on the likelihood that the median acquisition prices of comparable transactions, the median stock prices of comparable banks, discounted dividend analyses and other analyses conducted are applicable to the acquisition value paid by Old Line Bancshares for WSB Holdings and in valuing Old Line Bancshares common stock.
 
The summary set forth above is not a complete description of the analyses and procedures performed by Ambassador in the course of arriving at its opinion.
 
Ambassador concluded that, based on WSB Holdings’ recent performance, franchise, future prospects, comparisons with similar transactions and other analyses, it is Ambassadors’ opinion that the Old Line Bancshares’ offer to acquire all of the common stock of WSB Holdings for approximately $49 million, or approximately $6.12 per share, subject to certain pricing adjustments, and fluctuations in Old Line Bancshares common stock, in an exchange of Old Line Bancshares common stock, which is fairly valued,  and $17 million in cash, is fair to Old Line Bancshares’ stockholders from a financial point of view.
 
Ambassador, as part of its financial advisory business, is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and valuations for corporate and other purposes.  Old Line Bancshares selected Ambassador to act as its financial advisor based on Ambassador’s experience, including in connection with mergers and acquisitions of commercial banks and bank holding companies.
 
Pursuant to an engagement letter, Old Line Bancshares has agreed to pay Ambassador an advisory fee, including the issuance of a fairness opinion, totaling $180,000.  Old Line Bancshares paid Ambassador a $15,000 non-refundable retainer fee upon execution of the engagement letter, $35,000 upon the execution of the merger agreement and upon Ambassador’s presentation of its financial opinion.  Old Line Bancshares will pay Ambassador the remaining $130,000 of its fee upon the closing of the merger.  Old Line Bancshares has also agreed to reimburse Ambassador’s out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its engagement and to indemnify Ambassador against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of its obligations under the engagement letter.
 
During the past two years, Ambassador or Danielson Associates, LLC, which Ambassador acquired in October 2011, has performed other services for Old Line Bancshares, including fixed-income services.  At the time of issuance of the opinion, no other services have been contemplated, but Ambassador expects to continue to continue to perform similar services in the future.  Not including the compensation in connection with the merger agreement as disclosed above, Ambassador or Danielson Associates, LLC has received an aggregate of $66,000 in fees for investment banking services provided over the past two years.  Additionally, Ambassador has received customary compensation for fixed income services provided to Old line Bancshares during the past two years.
 
During the past two years, Ambassador has not received any compensation from WSB Holdings.

Other than as disclosed above, there have been no material relationships between Ambassador or its affiliates and representatives and Old Line Bancshares or its affiliates, or WSB Holdings or its affiliates, during the past two years .
 
 
Opinion of WSB Holdings’ Financial Advisor
 
As noted above, WSB Holdings retained RP Financial in May 2012 to render an opinion regarding fairness with respect to the merger consideration to be received by WSB Holdings stockholders in the merger.  In engaging RP Financial for its opinion as to the fairness of the merger consideration to be received, the WSB Holdings board did not give any special instructions to RP Financial, nor did it impose any limitations upon the scope of the investigation that RP Financial wished to conduct to enable it to give its opinion.  RP Financial has delivered to WSB Holdings its written opinion, dated September 10, 2012, to the effect that, based upon and subject to the matters set forth therein, as of that date, the merger consideration to be received in connection with the merger with Old Line Bancshares was fair to the WSB Holdings stockholders from a financial point of view.  The opinion of RP Financial is directed toward the consideration to be received by all WSB Holdings stockholders and does not constitute a recommendation to any WSB Holdings stockholder to vote in favor of approval of the merger agreement.  A copy of the RP Financial opinion is set forth as Annex C to this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and WSB Holdings stockholders should read it in its entirety.  RP Financial has consented to the inclusion and description of its written opinion in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
 
RP Financial was selected by WSB Holdings to provide an opinion regarding fairness because of RP Financial’s expertise in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities for a variety of purposes, including its expertise in connection with mergers and acquisitions of financial institutions and their holding companies, including transactions in the MidAtlantic region of the United States.  Pursuant to a letter agreement dated and executed May 30, 2012 by and between RP Financial and WSB Holdings (the “RP Engagement Letter”), RP Financial estimates that it will receive from WSB Holdings total professional fees of approximately $50,000 plus reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses, for its fairness opinion services in connection with the merger.
 
In addition, WSB Holdings has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless RP Financial, any affiliates of RP Financial, and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of RP Financial or their successors and assigns who act for or on behalf of RP Financial in connection with the services called for under the RP Engagement Letter, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including, but not limited to, all losses and expenses in connection with claims under the federal securities laws, actually incurred by RP Financial and attributable to: (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the financial statements or other information furnished or otherwise provided by an authorized officer of WSB Holdings to RP Financial; (ii) the omission of a material fact from the financial statements or other information furnished or otherwise made available by an authorized officer of WSB Holdings to RP Financial; or (iii) any action or omission to act by WSB Holdings, or WSB Holdings’ respective officers, directors, employees or agents, which action or omission is willful.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, WSB Holdings will be under no obligation to indemnify RP Financial hereunder if a court determines that RP Financial was negligent or acted in bad faith or willfully with respect to any actions or omissions of RP Financial related to a matter for which indemnification is sought.
 
In addition, if RP Financial is entitled to indemnification from WSB Holdings under the RP Engagement Letter, and in connection therewith incurs legal expenses in defending any legal action challenging the opinion of RP Financial where RP Financial is not negligent or otherwise at fault or is found by a court of law to be not negligent or otherwise at fault, WSB Holdings will indemnify RP Financial for all reasonable expenses.
 
In rendering its opinion, RP Financial reviewed the following material and/or conducted the following analyses:
 
·  
the merger agreement, as reviewed and approved and executed by the WSB Holdings board on September 10, 2012, including exhibits;

Board and management interviews at WSB Holdings to gain a more complete understanding of the institution and the decisions that led to the merger;
 
·  
Board and management interviews at Old Line Bank to gain a more complete understanding of their business philosophy, future business strategy, and motivations for the merger.
 
In rendering its opinion, RP Financial relied, without independent verification, on the accuracy and completeness of the information concerning WSB Holdings and Old Line Bank furnished by the respective institutions to RP Financial for review for purposes of its opinion, as well as publicly-available information regarding other financial institutions and competitive, economic and demographic data.  RP Financial further relied on the assurances of management of both institutions that they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any such information inaccurate or misleading.  RP Financial was not asked to and did not independently verify any of the information provided and did not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof.  WSB Holdings and Old Line Bancshares did not restrict RP Financial as to the material it was permitted to review.  RP Financial did not perform or obtain any independent appraisals or evaluations of the assets and liabilities, the collateral securing the assets or the liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of WSB Holdings or Old Line Bancshares or the collectability of any such assets.  RP Financial did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of WSB Holdings or Old Line Bancshares nor did RP Financial review any individual credit files relating to WSB Holdings or Old Line Bancshares.
 
With respect to such estimates and projections of transaction costs, purchase accounting adjustments, expected cost savings and other synergies and other information prepared by and/or discussed with Old Line’s Bancshares management and used by RP Financial in its analyses, RP Financial assumed that such estimates reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments of Old Line’s management of the respective future financial performances of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings and RP Financial also assumed that such performances would be achieved.  RP Financial expresses no opinion as to such estimates or projections or the assumptions on which they are based.
 
RP Financial, with WSB Holdings’ consent, has relied upon the advice WSB Holdings received from its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the merger and other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.  In rendering its opinion, RP Financial assumed that, in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory and governmental approvals for the proposed merger, no restriction would be imposed on Old Line Bancshares that would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the merger to be consummated as set forth in the merger agreement.  RP Financial also assumed that there was no material change in WSB Holdings’ or Old Line Bancshares’ assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to RP Financial.  RP Financial assumed in all respects material to the analyses, that all of the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement and all related agreements are true and correct, that each party to such agreements will perform all of the covenants required to be performed by such party under such agreements and that the conditions precedent in the merger agreement are not waived.

RP Financial’s opinion was based solely upon the information available to it and the economic, market and other circumstances as they existed as of September 10, 2012.  Events occurring after September 10, 2012 could materially affect the assumptions used in preparing the opinion.  In connection with rendering its opinion dated September 10, 2012, RP Financial performed a variety of financial analyses that are summarized below.  Although the evaluation of the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the merger consideration was to some extent subjective based on the experience and judgment of RP Financial and not merely the result of mathematical analyses of financial data, RP Financial relied, in part, on the financial analyses summarized below in its determinations.  The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and RP Financial believes its analyses must be considered as a whole.  Selecting portions of such analyses and factors considered by RP Financial without considering all such analyses and other factors could create an incomplete view of the process underlying RP Financial’s opinion.  In its analyses, RP Financial took into account its assessment of general business, market, monetary, financial and economic conditions, industry performance and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of WSB Holdings and Old Line Bancshares, as well as RP Financial’s experience in securities valuation, its knowledge of financial institutions, its knowledge of the current operating and M&A environments for financial institutions, and its experience in similar transactions.  With respect to the comparable transactions analysis described below, no public company utilized as a comparison is identical to WSB and such analyses necessarily involve complex considerations and judgments concerning the differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies and other factors that could affect the acquisition values of the companies concerned.  The analyses were prepared solely for purposes of RP Financial providing its opinion as to the fairness of the merger consideration, and they do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold.  Any estimates contained in RP Financial’s analyses are not necessarily indicative of future results of values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than such estimates.
 
Comparable Transactions Analysis .  RP Financial compared the merger on the basis of the multiples or ratios of reported earnings, tangible book value and tangible book premium to core deposits to three selected comparable groups of completed and pending bank and/or thrift mergers and acquisitions.  The first comparable group consisted of all acquisitions of commercial banks, commercial bank holding companies, savings institutions, or thrift holding companies in the MidAtlantic states of New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware that were announced between January 1, 2011 and September 7, 2012, where the institution being acquired recorded assets between $100 million and $1.0 billion (the “MidAtlantic” group).  The transactions included in the Group were:

WSB Holdings’ merger pricing ratio relative to trailing 12 month earnings through June 30, 2012 was 47.52x, which was generally above the range of ratios recorded by the comparable group.  WSB Holdings’ merger pricing ratios relative to book value and tangible book value (88.31% for each) fell within the range of ratios of each of the banks and thrifts included in the comparable group.  WSB Holdings’ tangible book value premium/core deposits ratio was not meaningful and thus was not used a basis for comparison:

RP Financial’s fairness analysis under the comparable transaction approach took into consideration WSB Holdings’ higher capital and earnings, significantly higher NPAs and significantly lower reserve coverage ratio.  Also considered were the asset size of The Washington Savings Bank, the regulatory agreement between The Washington Savings Bank and the OCC and the recent changes to the banking regulatory environment in general, all of which are likely to have an unfavorable impact on the ability of The Washington Savings Bank to maximize stockholder returns due to the relative impact of increased operating costs or the cost of raising additional growth capital.  These considerations and the resulting comparative ratios supported RP Financial’s fairness conclusion.
 
Control Premium Analysis.   RP Financial evaluated the value per share of the current offer relative to the trading value of the WSB stock, which trades on the NASDAQ exchange under the ticker “WSB.”  The percent difference between the offer price per share and the trading value per share is the “control premium.”  In evaluating control premiums, it is appropriate to use a closing price for the target that is less likely to be influenced by merger rumors or other unusual activity that typically occurs immediately prior to a merger announcement.  Thus, for comparison purposes, RP Financial compiled median control premiums for comparative deals that were based on closing prices 5 days and 1 month before the comparative deals were announced.  RP Financial used two comparative groups for its Control Premium analysis:  the first was all transactions involving publicly-traded targets announced since 2011; and the second was all transactions involving publicly-traded targets announced since 2011 with total merger consideration between $40 and $60 million.  For each comparative group, RP Financial evaluated the 5-day and 1 month premium.  The data revealed that the median premiums for each group and time period approximated 50%, as shown in the table below:

Compared to the proposed merger premium of 247.6% over the WSB Holdings closing price one month prior to announcement and 220.7% over the WSB Holdings closing price 5 days prior to announcement, the results of the Control Premium analysis supported RP Financial’s fairness conclusion.
 
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis .  RP Financial evaluated the value per share of the current offer to the implied value of The Washington Savings Bank’s current business plan.  Using The Washington Savings Bank’s 2012-2014 budget data as a base, RP Financial extrapolated projected asset growth and profitability to 5 years, using a Base Case (most likely) scenario as provided by management, as well as more and less optimistic scenarios to capture a range of possible future earnings and capital.  For each scenario, RP Financial assumed a terminal value based on assumed acquisition premiums 5 years from today.  No interim cash flows (dividends) were assumed. RP Financial discounted the future cash flows associated with an assumed sale of the Bank at year 5 back to present value at a risk-adjusted discount rate approximating the WSB Holdings cost of capital, as calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (15.00%).  The present per share value generated by the DCF under these assumptions using a range of projected Price to Earnings multiples and Price to Tangible Book Value ratios, when compared to the proposed transaction value of $6.09 per share, supported the fairness conclusions:

Pro Forma Impact Analysis .  Since the merger consideration consists partially of stock, RP Financial considered the estimated pro forma impact of the merger on Old Line Bancshares’ financial condition, operating results and stock pricing ratios.  Specifically, RP Financial considered that the merger is anticipated to be accretive to Old Line Bancshares’ pro forma earnings per share within the first year of completing the merger, assuming incorporation of certain anticipated merger synergies and core earnings estimates for WSB Holdings; will increase Old Line Bancshares’ market capitalization and shares outstanding; and will increase Old Line Bancshares’ stock liquidity.  Furthermore, RP Financial considered the increased asset size, competitive profile and geographic footprint of Old Line Bancshares on a pro forma basis.  RP Financial considered the pro forma impact of the merger on Old Line Bancshares’ per share data and pricing ratios based on Old Line Bancshares’ pre-announcement trading price.  RP Financial also considered other benefits of the merger to WSB Holdings stockholders who opt for Old Line Bancshares stock in the transaction, including the potential for increased liquidity of the stock for WSB Holdings’ stockholders given Old Line Bancshares’ larger size, greater market capitalization and greater number of shares outstanding, the enhanced ability to pursue growth within the expanded market area and expanded management team.  In comparing the pro forma impact of the merger, RP Financial also took into consideration that following the merger, WSB Holdings stockholders will own approximately 29.9% of the common stock in Old Line Bancshares.  Finally, RP Financial considered the pro forma balance sheet impact of the merger assuming a number of purchase accounting adjustments that could reasonably be applied to certain of WSB Holdings’ assets to determine the pro forma GAAP and regulatory capital position of Old Line Bancshares.  Based on these considerations, RP Financial concluded that the impact analysis supported the fairness conclusion.
 
As described above, RP Financial’s opinion was one of many factors taken into consideration by the WSB Holdings board in making its determination to approve the merger agreement.  Although the foregoing summary describes the material components of the analysis submitted by RP Financial to the board of directors of WSB Holdings on September 10, 2012, in connection with its opinion as of that date, it does not purport to be a complete description of all the analyses performed by RP Financial and is qualified by reference to the written opinion of RP Financial set forth Annex C, which WSB Holdings stockholders are urged to read in its entirety.

The full text of the opinion of RP Financial, which sets forth, among other things, assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limits on the review undertaken by RP Financial, is attached as Annex C to this joint proxy statement/prospectus.  Holders of WSB Holdings common stock are urged to read the opinion in its entirety.  RP Financial’s opinion is directed only to the merger consideration described in the merger agreement and does not constitute a recommendation to any WSB Holdings stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote at the WSB Holdings special stockholder meeting.  The summary set forth in this prospectus and proxy statement of the opinion of RP Financial is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of its opinion attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C.
 
Terms of the Merger
 
Effects of the Merger
 
Upon completion of the merger, WSB Holdings will be merged with and into Old Line Bancshares and the separate legal existence of WSB Holdings will cease.  All property, rights, powers, duties, obligations and liabilities of WSB Holdings will automatically be deemed transferred to Old Line Bancshares, as the surviving corporation in the merger.  Old Line Bancshares will continue to be governed by its articles of incorporation and bylaws as in effect immediately prior to the merger.
 
The merger agreement provides that, pursuant to a Plan of Merger by and between Old Line Bank and The Washington Savings Bank, dated as of September 10, 2012, immediately after the merger The Washington Savings Bank will be merged with and into Old Line Bank, with Old Line Bank as the surviving bank in the bank merger.  Old Line Bank will continue to be governed by its articles of incorporation and bylaws in effect immediately prior to the bank merger.
 
Consideration to be Paid in the Merger
 
Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Old Line Bancshares will acquire WSB Holdings for consideration of $17,009,212 in cash and $31,655,645 in common stock (assuming a per-share value of $10.85) or approximately $48.7 million in cash and stock, subject to adjustment, as described herein and in the merger agreement, which we refer to as the aggregate merger consideration.
 
The aggregate merger consideration is subject to adjustment based on certain operating losses, asset quality changes, changes in the value of certain investment securities and certain merger-related expenses as follows:
 
·  
Operating Loss Adjustments :  Any consolidated pre-tax operating losses of WSB Holdings reported for any quarter ending after June 30, 2012, excluding any provisions for loan losses, expenses attributable to write-downs on OREO, securities gains or losses and merger-related expenses, will be deducted dollar-for-dollar from the aggregate merger consideration.
 
·  
Asset Quality Adjustments :  Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, any credit extension of WSB Holdings or The Washington Savings Bank that, as of June 30, 2012, was not classified as special mention, substandard or non-accrual, was not subject to impairment under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310, was not more than 90 days past due, was not classified as OREO and/or was not on The Washington Savings Bank’s watch list (the “pass portfolio”), but becomes so after June 30, 2012, will be reviewed to determine if the losses on such items exceed Old Line Bancshares’ previous estimate of projected losses in the portfolio.  The valuation of the pass portfolio used for this purpose will be 75% of an independent valuation of such portfolio.  If the losses in the pass portfolio based on such 75% figure are greater than Old Line Bancshares’ previous loss estimate, then the difference will be deducted from the aggregate merger consideration on a post-tax, dollar-for-dollar basis.  If any credit extensions are so classified as of June 30, 2012 or thereafter and are resolved through final sale or pay-off that results in reversal of a credit loss provision or of a specific reserve or a recovery of an amount charged-off prior to July 1, 2012, the amount of the reversal will offset any such losses that would otherwise be deducted from the aggregate merger consideration.
 
 
 
72

 
 
 
·  
Maximum Expense Amount .  The merger agreement provides that each party will pay its own expenses incurred in connection with the merger, but that all fees and expenses incurred by WSB Holdings, including legal, investment banking, accounting, printing and any other fees, may not exceed $450,000, not including any amounts for extended officer and director liability insurance for officers and directors of WSB Holdings that will be purchased by Old Line Bancshares contemporaneously with the closing of the merger.  Any costs or expenses WSB Holdings incurs in connection with the merger agreement and the merger that exceed the $450,000 expense cap will be deducted from the aggregate merger consideration on a post-tax, dollar-for-dollar basis.
 
·  
Investment Securities .  Any investment security held by WSB Holdings or The Washington Savings Bank not specifically identified by Old Line Bancshares as of September 10, 2012 (an “Exempt Security”) will be priced using actual bid-side market pricing.  Old Line Bancshares will solicit bids from no less than 30 broker-dealers and bond investors it determines may have an interest in purchasing non-Exempt Securities.  A schedule of bid requests and bids received will be provided to Holdings eight business days prior to the Closing Date.  The “Marked Value” will be:  (i) the average of the three highest bids received; or (ii) if only two bids are received, the average of the two highest bids received; or (iii) if only one bid or no bids are received, Old Line Bancshares will use reasonable and customary alternative methods of valuation; provided, however, that WSB Holdings will have at least three business days to sell the non-Exempt Securities if it desires.  If the difference between the Marked Value and the value reported by The Washington Savings Bank as of June 30, 2012 or, if purchased after June 30, 2012, the original purchase price, is greater than $20,000, excluding changes in value due to principal pay-downs, and is a loss, such loss will be aggregated with losses on all such other non-Exempt Securities and deducted from the aggregate merger consideration on a post-tax dollar-for-dollar basis.  If the pricing differentials described above result in a gain, then such gain, on a post-tax basis, will be added to aggregate merger consideration.  However, if any security that is not an Exempt Security is sold, called or matures prior to five days before Closing Date, then the net proceeds received will be used as the Marked Value.
 
Any adjustments to the aggregate merger consideration will be made on a pro rata basis, such that 35% of any such adjustments are made to the aggregate cash consideration and 65% are made to the aggregate stock consideration.
 
What WSB Holdings Stockholders Will Receive in the Merger
 
Upon completion of the merger, each share of WSB Holdings common stock that you hold at the effective time of the merger will be automatically converted into the right to receive either cash, which we refer to as the per-share cash consideration, or shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock, which we refer to as the per-share stock consideration, as discussed below, except for shares of WSB Holdings common stock held by stockholders who perfect their appraisal rights as discussed in “– Appraisal rights.”  The merger agreement provides that WSB Holdings stockholders will have the right, with respect to each of their shares of WSB Holdings common stock, to elect to receive, subject to adjustment and allocation as described below, either (i) approximately 0.5608 shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock, (ii) $6.09 in cash, or (iii) a combination of cash and Old Line Bancshares common stock.  The per-share stock consideration will be equal to the quotient of (i) $31,655,645 (subject to adjustment as provided in the merger agreement) divided by 10.85, divided by (ii) the number of shares of WSB Holdings common stock outstanding on the effective date minus the 2,792,974 shares to be exchanged for cash (which we sometimes refer to as the exchange ratio).  Assuming no adjustments to the aggregate merger consideration and no WSB Holdings stock option exercises prior to the closing date of the merger, the aggregate stock consideration will be 2,917,571 shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock and the per-share stock consideration will be 0.5608 shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock; in other words, the exchange ratio will be 0.5608.
 
 
 
73

 
 
 
Old Line Bancshares will not issue fractional shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock to WSB Holdings stockholders.  If you are otherwise entitled to receive a fractional share of Old Line Bancshares common stock under the exchange procedure described above, you will instead have the right to receive cash, without interest, in an amount equal to the value of such fraction of a share based on the per-share cash consideration.  Assuming no adjustments to the aggregate merger consideration, you will receive cash for a fractional share you would otherwise be entitled to in an amount that is equal to the product of (i) the fraction of a share that would otherwise be due to you and (ii) $6.09.
 
Under the terms of the merger agreement, 2,792,974 (or approximately 35%) of the outstanding shares of WSB Holdings common stock will be exchanged for cash and the remainder (or approximately 65%) of the outstanding shares of WSB Holdings common stock will be exchanged for shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock.  If holders of more than 2,792,974 outstanding shares of WSB Holdings common stock elect to receive cash (including those that perfect appraisal rights), the number of shares that you elected to exchange for cash (if any) will be reduced through an allocation formula and the rest of your shares will be exchanged for stock consideration.  Similarly, if holders of less than 2,792,974 outstanding shares of WSB Holdings common stock elect to receive cash (including those that perfect appraisal rights), the number of shares that you elected to exchange for the stock consideration (if any) will be reduced and the rest of your shares will be exchanged for cash.
 
Accordingly, after WSB Holdings stockholder elections have been tabulated, the elected amounts of stock or cash will be adjusted to ensure that 2,792,974 shares of WSB Holdings common stock outstanding at the effective time of the merger are exchanged for cash and the remainder are exchanged for shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock.  Therefore, you may receive significantly less cash and more shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock than you elect, or you may receive significantly less shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock and more cash than you elect.
 
If you do not return the election form by the deadline to make a valid election, you will be deemed to have made no election.  Stockholders not making an election may be paid in cash and/or shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock depending on, and after giving effect to, the allocation adjustments described below.
 
For more information about the allocation rules and the potential effects of the allocation procedures described above, see “– Terms of the Merger – Election and Exchange Procedures” and “– Terms of the Merger – Allocation Procedures and Proration.”
 
WSB Holdings Price Termination Right
 
WSB Holdings has the option, but is not required, to terminate the merger agreement if the average closing price of Old Line Bancshares common stock during the 30 trading days prior to the five-business day period before the closing of the merger falls below $8.14, unless Old Line Bancshares, in its sole discretion, increases the aggregate merger consideration in stock, cash or a combination of stock and cash so that the aggregate merger consideration is equal to at least $40.8 million, subject to the adjustments as provided in the merger agreement and a described under “–  Terms of the Merger – Consideration to be Paid in the Merger.”  WSB Holdings cannot predict whether or not it would exercise its right to terminate the merger agreement if these conditions were met.
 
The merger agreement does not provide for a resolicitation of WSB Holdings stockholders in the event that the conditions are met and WSB Holdings chooses to complete the transaction.  WSB Holdings’ board of directors has made no decision as to whether it would exercise its right to terminate the merger agreement if the average price of the Old Line Bancshares common stock fell below $8.14.  In considering whether to exercise its right to terminate the merger agreement, WSB Holdings’ board of directors would take into account all of the relevant facts and circumstances that exist at the time and would consult with its financial advisor and legal counsel.
 
 
 
 
74

 
 
 
The fairness opinion received by WSB Holdings from RP Financial is dated as of September 10, 2012, and is based on conditions in effect on that date.  Accordingly, the fairness opinion does not address the possibilities presented if the termination provision relating to the average price of Old Line Bancshares common stock is triggered, including the possibility that WSB Holdings’ board of directors might elect to continue with the merger even if WSB Holdings has the ability to terminate the merger agreement under that provision.  See “– Opinion of WSB Holdings’ Financial Advisor.”
 
Approval of the merger agreement and the merger by WSB Holdings’ stockholders will confer on WSB Holdings’ board of directors the power to complete the merger even if the price-related termination provision is triggered, without any further action by or re-solicitation of the votes of WSB Holdings stockholders.
 
Election and Exchange Procedures
 
Subject to allocation as described in the next section, each WSB Holdings stockholder may elect to receive with respect to his or her shares of WSB Holdings common stock all Old Line Bancshares common stock, all cash or a combination of common stock and cash.
 
Stock Election Shares .  WSB Holdings stockholders who validly elect to receive shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock for some or all of their shares will receive the per-share stock consideration for that portion of the stockholder’s shares of WSB Holdings common stock equal to the stockholder’s stock election subject to allocation as further discussed in the following section.  In our discussion below, we sometimes refer to shares held by stockholders who have made stock elections as “stock election shares.”
 
Cash Election Shares .  WSB Holdings stockholders who validly elect to receive cash for some or all of their shares will receive the per-share cash consideration for that portion of the stockholder’s shares of WSB Holdings common stock equal to the stockholder’s cash election, subject to allocation as further discussed in the following section.  In our discussion below, we sometimes refer to shares held by WSB Holdings stockholders who have made cash elections as “cash election shares.”
 
Any shares held by WSB Holdings stockholders that perfect their appraisal rights (whom we sometimes refer to as “objecting stockholders”) under Delaware law with respect to the merger will be considered cash election shares for these purposes (but will be paid fair value in accordance with the procedures set forth in the DGCL instead of the per-cash merger consideration; see “– Appraisal Rights”).
 
No Election Shares .  Shares held by WSB Holdings stockholders who (i) indicate that they have no preference as to whether they receive Old Line Bancshares common stock or cash, (ii) do not make a valid election, or (iii) fail to properly perfect their appraisal rights will be deemed to be “no election shares.”  No election shares will allocated as either stock election shares or cash election shares as discussed in “– Allocation Procedures and Proration” below.
 
2,792,974 shares of WSB Holdings common stock outstanding at the effective time of the merger will be exchanged for cash in the merger and the remaining outstanding shares of WSB common stock will be exchanged for shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock.  Accordingly, there is no assurance that a WSB Holdings stockholder will receive the form of per-share consideration that stockholder elects with respect to his or her shares of WSB Holdings common stock.  See “– Allocation Procedures and Proration” below.
 
Election Form .  If you are a record holder of WSB Holdings common stock, an election form will be sent to you no more than 40 nor less than 20 days before the anticipated closing date of the merger.  The election form will include instructions for electing to receive Old Line Bancshares common stock or cash or a combination of stock and cash for your WSB Holdings stock.  The election form will also include instructions for submitting your WSB Holdings stock certificate(s) in exchange for the Old Line Bancshares common stock or the cash consideration.  The deadline for making your election will be 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on that date that is five days before the closing date of the merger.  You must carefully follow the instructions on the election form and return a properly executed election form and your WSB Holdings stock certificate(s) (or an appropriate guarantee of delivery of such stock certificate(s) as set forth in the election form from a firm that is an “eligible guarantor institution” (as defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act) provided that such stock certificate(s) are in fact delivered to the exchange agent by the time set forth in such guarantee of delivery) to the exchange agent in order to receive the merger consideration for your shares.  The WSB Holdings stock certificate(s) must be in a form that is acceptable for transfer (as explained in the election form).  Your election will be properly made only if, by the deadline date, you have submitted to Old Line Bancshares’ exchange agent at its designated office (i) a properly completed and signed election form, (ii) your stock certificate(s) or guarantee of delivery of such stock certificate(s), and (iii) such other documents as Old Line Bancshares or the exchange agent may reasonably request.
 
 
 
75

 
 
 
If your election is not timely and properly made, your shares of WSB Holdings stock will be treated as “no election shares” and you will be entitled to receive solely the form of per-share consideration in exchange for your shares of WSB Holdings common stock that is allocated to you by the exchange agent in the allocation process, as discussed below in “– Allocation Procedures and Proration.”
 
Neither Old Line Bancshares nor its exchange agent will be under any obligation to notify any person of any defects in an election form.
 
As soon as reasonably practicable after its receipt of properly completed and signed letters of transmittal and accompanying WSB Holdings stock certificates, Old Line Bancshares’ exchange agent will mail certificates representing shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock and/or checks representing the merger consideration for shares of WSB Holdings common stock, together with cash in lieu of fractional share interests.  No interest will be paid on any cash payment.
 
Certificates representing shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock will be dated the effective date of the merger and will entitle the holders to dividends, distributions and all other rights and privileges of an Old Line Bancshares stockholder from the effective date.  Until the certificates representing WSB Holdings common stock are surrendered for exchange, holders of such certificates will not receive the cash or stock consideration or dividends or distributions on the Old Line Bancshares common stock into which such shares have been converted.  When the certificates are surrendered to the exchange agent, any unpaid dividends or other distributions will be paid without interest.  Old Line Bancshares has the right to withhold dividends or any other distributions on its shares until the WSB Holdings stock certificates are surrendered for exchange.
 
Until surrendered, each WSB Holdings stock certificate, following the effective date of the merger, is evidence solely of the right to receive the aggregate per-share merger consideration.  In no event will either Old Line Bancshares or WSB Holdings be liable to any former WSB Holdings stockholder for any amount paid in good faith to a public official or agency pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
 
Under the merger agreement, any shares of WSB Holdings Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger that are evidenced by one or more certificates representing shares of common stock of The Washington Savings Bank, par value $1.00 per share (“Bank Certificates”), that have not been surrendered pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of August 15, 2007, by and among The Washington Savings Bank, Washington Interim Savings Bank and WSB Holdings (the “Plan of Reorganization”), will be treated as outstanding shares of WSB Holdings common stock, and the Bank Certificates will be treated as certificates evidencing shares of WSB Holdings common stock, except that the holders thereof will be entitled to receive the per-share common stock consideration and/or the per-share cash consideration in exchange therefor only upon the surrender of the Bank Certificates in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement discussed above.  Shares of WSB Holdings common stock evidenced by Bank Certificates will in all other respects be subject to the same terms and conditions set forth in the merger agreement that apply to shares of WSB Holdings common stock evidenced by stock certificates issued by WSB Holdings.
 
 
 
 
76

 
 
 
Old Line Bancshares will not issue any fractions of a share of common stock.  Rather, Old Line Bancshares will pay cash for any fractional share interest any WSB Holdings stockholder would otherwise be entitled to receive in the merger.  For each fractional share that would otherwise be issued, Old Line Bancshares will pay by check an amount equal to the value of such fractional share based on the amount of the per-share cash consideration.  Shares of WSB Holdings common stock held by Old Line Bancshares as of the effective date of the merger, if any, will be canceled.
 
Allocation Procedures and Proration
 
As a result of the merger, WSB Holdings will be merged with and into Old Line Bancshares.  Each share of WSB Holdings common stock will then be converted into either cash or shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock as each WSB Holdings stockholder elects, subject to the limitations described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.  Specifically, notwithstanding the election of WSB Holdings stockholders to receive cash, Old Line Bancshares common stock or a combination of stock and cash in the merger, 2,792,974 shares of WSB Holdings common stock will be exchanged for Old Line Bancshares common stock.  Therefore, the elections of WSB Holdings stockholders will be re-allocated as necessary as discussed further below.
 
Too Many Stockholders Elect the Cash Consideration.   If the aggregate number of cash election shares and shares for which WSB stockholders perfect their appraisal rights is more than 2,792,974, then:
 
·  
All stock election shares will be converted into the right to receive the per-share stock consideration; and
 
·  
All cash shares and all no election shares will be re-allocated by the exchange agent so that the total number of cash election shares and shares for which WSB stockholders perfect their appraisal rights is equal to 2,792,974.  Old Line Bancshares will instruct the exchange agent in this circumstance to re-allocate all no election shares as stock election shares and to re-allocate the cash election shares as stock election shares on a pro rata basis.  As a result, all no election shares will be converted into the right to receive the per-share stock consideration and the cash election shares will be converted on a pro rata basis into the right to receive the per-share stock consideration such that 2,792,974 shares of WSB Holdings’ outstanding common stock are exchanged for cash in the merger.
 
Too Few Stockholders Elect the Cash Consideration.   If the aggregate number of cash election shares and shares for which WSB stockholders perfect their appraisal rights is less than 2,792,974, then:
 
·  
All cash election shares will be converted into the right to receive the per-share cash consideration; and
 
·  
All stock shares and all no election shares will be re-allocated by the exchange agent so that the total number of cash election shares and shares for which WSB stockholders perfect their appraisal rights is equal to 2,792,974.  In this circumstance, Old Line Bancshares will instruct the exchange agent to re-allocate all no election shares as cash election shares and to re-allocate the stock election shares as cash election shares on a pro rata basis.  As a result, all no election shares will be converted into the right to receive the per-share cash consideration and the stock election shares will be converted on a pro rata basis into the right to receive the per-share cash consideration such that 2,792,974 shares of WSB Holdings’ outstanding common stock are exchanged for cash in the merger.
 
 
 
77

 
 
 
Because the United States federal income tax consequences of receiving Old Line Bancshares common stock, cash or both Old Line Bancshares common stock and cash will differ, WSB Holdings stockholders are urged to read carefully the information included under the caption “The Merger Agreement and the Merger – Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences” and to consult their tax advisors for a full understanding of the merger’s tax consequences to them.
 
Treatment of WSB Holdings Stock Options
 
Any WSB Holdings options properly exercised prior to the effective time will have the right to receive merger consideration on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as all other outstanding shares of WSB Holdings common stock.  An election with respect to any WSB Holdings common stock received after the election deadline pursuant to the exercise of a WSB Holdings option will be considered no election shares and may be paid in cash, Old Line Bancshares common stock or a mix of cash and shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock depending on, and after giving effect to, the number of valid cash elections and stock elections that have been made by other WSB Holdings stockholders.
 
At the effective time of the merger, each option granted under a WSB Holdings equity compensation plan, whether vested or unvested, and which has not been previously exercised or cancelled, will be converted into the right to purchase that number of shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of WSB Holdings common stock provided for in the option and (ii) the exchange ratio (approximately 0.5608, subject to adjustment), and the exercise price will be adjusted for the merger consideration, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, provided that any adjustments to “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code will be effected in a manner consistent with Section 422(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.  All other terms of such previously-granted WSB Holdings stock options, including the expiration date thereof, will remain the same after the effective time.
 
As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, there were outstanding stock options to purchase 33,875 shares of WSB Holdings common stock that could be exercised prior to the merger.
 
Old Line Bancshares Common Stock
 
Each share of Old Line Bancshares common stock outstanding immediately prior to completion of the merger will remain outstanding after and be unchanged by the merger.
 
Effective Date
 
The merger will take effect when all conditions, including obtaining stockholder and regulatory approval, have been fulfilled or waived, or as soon as practicable thereafter as Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings may mutually select. By law, however, regulatory and stockholder approval cannot be waived.  We presently expect to close the merger by July 1, 2013.  See “– Conditions to the Merger” and “– Regulatory Approvals.”

In addition, WSB Holdings agreed to conduct its business and to engage in transactions only in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by or contemplated in the merger agreement, required by its regulators or consented to by Old Line Bancshares.  WSB Holdings also agreed in the merger agreement that it will not, and will not allow any subsidiary to, without the written consent of Old Line Bancshares:

83

Termination Fee
 
WSB Holdings must pay Old Line Bancshares a termination fee in the amount of $1,750,000 if the merger agreement is terminated in connection with:
 
·  
The entry by WSB Holdings or any WSB Holdings subsidiary into an alternative WSB Holdings transaction.

·  
The WSB Holdings board of directors withdrawing, changing or modifying its recommendation to stockholders to approve the merger agreement or the merger.
 
·  
The failure of the merger to close by July 1, 2013 or receive all necessary regulatory approvals or consents and the failure to so close or receive such approvals or consents was caused by the knowing, willful and intentional actions or inactions of WSB Holdings or The Washington Savings Bank (provided Old Line Bancshares is not then in material breach of any material representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in the merger agreement).
 
Old Line Bancshares has agreed to pay a fee of $750,000 to WSB Holdings if WSB Holdings terminates the merger agreement in connection with:

Old Line Bancshares’ material breach of the merger agreement (provided that WSB Holdings is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in the merger agreement).
 
·  
The Old Line Bancshares board of directors withdrawing, changing or modifying its recommendation to stockholders to approve the merger agreement and the merger.
 
·  
The failure of the merger to close by July 1, 2013 or receive all necessary regulatory approvals or consents and the failure to so close or receive such approvals or consents was caused by the knowing, willful and intentional actions or inactions of Old Line Bancshares or Old Line Bank (provided WSB Holdings is not then in material breach of any material representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in the merger agreement).
 
·  
Old Line Bancshares’ entry into an alternative Old Line Bancshares transaction.

Initiate, solicit, encourage (including by way of furnishing information) or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that relates to a merger, consolidation or acquisition of WSB Holdings or any of its subsidiaries, acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets or liabilities of WSB Holdings or any of its subsidiaries, or the acquisition of ownership or voting power representing 10% or more of the outstanding common stock of WSB Holdings or any of its subsidiaries;

Expenses
 
Each of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings will pay all of the costs and expenses that it incurs in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including fees and expenses of financial consultants, accountants and legal counsel.  If WSB Holdings incurs expenses exceeding $450,000 (not including the purchase of “tail” officers’ and directors’ liability insurance), however, any amount over $450,000 will be deducted from the aggregate merger consideration paid to WSB Holdings’ stockholders in the merger.
 
Regulatory Approvals
 
Completion of the merger is subject to the prior receipt of all consents or approvals of, and the provision of all notices to, federal and state authorities required to complete the merger of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings as well as the merger of Old Line Bank and The Washington Savings Bank.
 
Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals and provide all notices required to complete the merger and the bank merger.  These approvals and notices include, with respect to the merger, approval from the Federal Reserve Board and, with respect to the bank merger, approval from the Federal Reserve Board and the Maryland Commissioner and a notice to the OCC.  The merger cannot proceed without these required regulatory actions.
 
Regulatory Approvals for the Merger
 
Federal Reserve Board.   The acquisition by a bank holding company of a savings and loan holding company requires the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act.  Under this law, the Federal Reserve Board generally may not approve any proposed transaction:
 
 
 
 
87

 
 
 
·  
That would result in a monopoly or that would further a combination or conspiracy to monopolize banking in the United States; or
 
·  
That could substantially lessen competition in any section of the country, that would tend to create a monopoly in any section of the country, or that would be in restraint of trade, unless the Federal Reserve Board finds that the public interest in meeting the convenience and needs of the communities served outweighs the anti-competitive effects of the proposed transaction.
 
The Federal Reserve Board is also required to consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the companies and their subsidiary banks and the convenience and needs of the communities to be served.  Under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, the Federal Reserve Board also must take into account the record of performance of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings in meeting the credit needs of their communities, including low and moderate-income neighborhoods.  In addition, the Federal Reserve Board must take into account the effectiveness of the companies in combating money laundering activities. Any transaction approved by the Federal Reserve Board generally may not be completed until 30 days after such approval, during which time the U.S. Department of Justice may challenge such transaction on antitrust grounds and seek divestiture of certain assets and liabilities.
 
Maryland Commissioner .  The merger is subject to the prior approval of the Maryland Commissioner under Section 5-903 of the Financial Institutions Article of the Maryland Annotated Code.  In determining whether to approve the merger, the Maryland Commissioner will consider:
 
·  
Whether the merger may be detrimental to the safety and soundness of WSB Holdings; and
 
·  
Whether the merger may result in an undue concentration of resources or a substantial reduction of competition in the State of Maryland.
 
The Maryland Commissioner will not approve any acquisition if upon consummation the combined entity (including any of its bank subsidiaries) would control 30% or more of the total amount of deposits of insured depository institutions in the State of Maryland, although the Maryland Commissioner may waive this limitation upon good cause shown.  Old Line Bank will not control 30% of the insured deposits in Maryland after the merger.
 
The Maryland Commissioner will have 60 days after receipt of the application to determine whether to approve the merger.
 
Regulatory Approvals for the Bank Merger
 
Federal Reserve Board.   The bank merger is subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Merger Act.  As with its consideration of the merger, the Federal Reserve Board must consider whether the bank merger would result in a monopoly or would substantially lessen competition and whether the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the banks and the convenience and needs of the communities.  The Federal Reserve Board must take into consideration the effectiveness of each insured depository institution involved in the proposed merger transaction in combatting money laundering activities.
 
Maryland Commissioner .  The bank merger agreement is subject to the prior approval of the Maryland Commissioner under Section 3-703(c) of the Financial Institutions Articles of the Maryland Annotated Code.  The Maryland Commissioner will approve an agreement for the bank merger agreement if it determines that:
 
·  
Old Line Bank meets all the requirements of Maryland law for the formation of a new commercial bank;
 
 
 
88

 
 
 
·  
The bank merger agreement provides an adequate capital structure, including surplus, for Old Line Bank in relation to its deposit liabilities and other activities;
 
·  
The bank merger agreement is fair; and
 
·  
The proposed bank merger is not against the public interest.
 
The Maryland Commissioner will have six months after receipt of the application to determine whether to approve the bank merger.
 
OCC Notice.   Pursuant to OCC rules, since The Washington Savings Bank is being merged into a state bank, prior OCC approval of the bank merger is not required.  However, The Washington Savings Bank must file a notice advising the OCC of Old Line Bank’s intention to acquire The Washington Savings Bank in the bank merger prior to consummation of the bank merger.
 
Applications
 
Old Line Bancshares filed an application with the Federal Reserve Board requesting approval of the merger of WSB Holdings with and into Old Line Bancshares on December 12, 2012.  In addition, Old Line Bank filed applications with the Federal Reserve Board and Maryland Commissioner and The Washington Savings Bank notified the OCC of the merger of The Washington Savings Bank into Old Line Bank on December 12, 2012.  In general, the applications and notice describe the terms of the merger or bank merger, the parties involved and the activities to be conducted by the combined entities as a result of the transaction, and will contain certain related financial and managerial information.
 
We are not aware of any material governmental approvals or actions that are required to complete the merger, except as described above.  If any other approval or action is required, we will use our best efforts to obtain such approval or action.
 
Management and Operations After the Merger
 
The current officers and directors of Old Line Bancshares and Old Line Bank, with the addition of William J. Harnett, Chairman of the Board of WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank, and Michael J. Sullivan, a member of the board of directors of WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank (or such replacements as named in a schedule to the merger agreement or as WSB Holdings shall propose and Old Line Bancshares’ shall choose, if either of Messrs. Harnett or Sullivan become disqualified to serve as directors pursuant to the merger agreement), to each entity’s board of directors, will continue to be the officers and directors of Old Line Bancshares and Old Line Bank, respectively, after the merger.
 
Employment; Severance
 
Following the merger, Old Line Bancshares is not obligated to continue the employment of any WSB Holdings employee.  As a result of the merger, some WSB Holdings positions, primarily in-house back office, support, processing and other operational activities and services, may be eliminated.  However, Old Line Bancshares will endeavor to continue the employment of all employees of WSB Holdings and its subsidiaries, including The Washington Savings Bank, in positions that will contribute to the successful performance of the combined organization.  If a WSB Holdings or The Washington Savings Bank employee is not retained, however, Old Line Bancshares will grant an eligible employee who is terminated two weeks of severance pay for each full year of service up to a maximum of 26 weeks of severance pay, except that employees who are eligible for any payment or benefit pursuant to a “change in control,” employment or salary continuation or similar plan or right, including pursuant to the merger agreement as described under “Interest of Officers, Directors and Others in the Merger – Other Payments to Chairman and Officers of WSB Holdings,” will not be eligible for such severance benefits.  Each person eligible for severance benefits will remain eligible for such benefits if his or her employment is terminated, other than for cause (as defined in the merger agreement), within 12 months after the time the merger is effective.  Any former WSB Holdings employee whose employment with Old Line Bancshares is terminated without cause after 12 months from the effective date of the merger will receive such severance benefits from Old Line Bancshares as is provided for in Old Line Bancshares’ general severance policy for such terminations (with full credit being given for each year of service with WSB Holdings or any WSB Holdings subsidiary).
 
 
 
89

 
 
 
Employee Benefits
 
The merger agreement provides that as of the effective date of the merger, each employee of WSB Holdings or any WSB Holdings subsidiary who becomes an employee of Old Line Bancshares or a subsidiary thereof will be entitled to full credit for each year of service with WSB Holdings or any subsidiary thereof for purposes of determining eligibility for participation, vesting and benefit accrual, in Old Line Bancshares’, or as appropriate, in the Old Line Bancshares subsidiary’s, employee benefit plans, programs and policies.  Old Line Bancshares will use the original date of hire by WSB Holdings or a WSB Holdings subsidiary in making such determinations.  After the effective date of the merger, Old Line Bancshares may discontinue or amend, or convert to or merge with, an Old Line Bancshares benefit plan, any WSB Holdings benefit plan, subject to the plan’s provisions and applicable law.
 
Interests of Directors, Officers and Others in the Merger
 
Certain members of management of WSB Holdings and its board of directors may have interests in the merger in addition to their interests as stockholders of WSB Holdings.  The WSB Holdings board of directors was aware of these factors and considered them, among other factors, in approving the merger agreement.
 
You should note, however, that if after the merger Old Line Bancshares remains subject to the written agreement originally entered into between WSB Holdings and the OTS, as discussed elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Old Line Bancshares may be prohibited from paying these “golden parachute” payments pursuant to the terms of the written agreement.
 
Golden Parachute Compensation for WSB Holdings Named Executive Officers
 
In March 2012, prior to any discussions with Old Line Bancshares, the board of directors of WSB Holdings and its compensation committee approved change in control severance arrangements for certain officers of WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank.  The compensation that can be paid under these arrangements constitutes “golden parachute compensation” within the meaning of Item 402(t) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K.  Section 14A of the Exchange Act requires the board of directors of WSB Holdings to seek an advisory (nonbinding) vote from its stockholders with respect to any golden parachute compensation that could be paid pursuant to any agreement or understanding between WSB Holdings and any of its “named executive officers” (within the meaning of Item 402 of Regulation S-K) in connection with a merger for which the board is soliciting proxies.  Of WSB Holdings’ named executive officers, Kevin P. Huffman, the President and Chief Operating Officer of WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank, is the only one who could be entitled to receive “golden parachute compensation” in connection with the Old Line Bancshares merger.  Accordingly, stockholders of WSB Holdings will be asked at the special meeting to cast an advisory (nonbinding) vote on the golden parachute compensation that could be paid to Mr. Huffman under his change in control severance arrangement.  See the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus below entitled “The WSB Holdings Special Meeting — Purpose of the Special Meeting.”
 
Under his arrangement, Mr. Huffman will be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment if WSB Holdings is a party to a transaction that results in a change in control and (i) he is not retained by WSB Holdings or (if applicable) the acquiring entity on the effective date of the transaction, (ii) he is retained but his employment is involuntarily terminated by WSB Holdings or (if applicable) the acquiring entity within 18 months of the transaction other than for cause, death or disability, or (iii) he is retained but his level of compensation (including bonuses) is substantially reduced by WSB Holdings or (if applicable) the acquiring entity within 18 months of the merger and he voluntarily terminates his employment during such time.

If Mr. Huffman is not retained by Old Line Bancshares on the date of the merger, then the golden parachute compensation will be payable within five days of the merger.  In the event that Mr. Huffman is retained by Old Line Bancshares after the merger, the golden parachute compensation will be payable only if (i) his employment is thereafter involuntarily terminated by Old Line Bancshares within 18 months of the merger other than for cause, death or disability, or (ii) his level of compensation (including bonuses) is substantially reduced by Old Line Bancshares within 18 months of the merger and he voluntarily terminates his employment during such period.

Other Payments to Directors and Executive Officers of WSB Holdings

In addition to Mr. Huffman, the board of directors of WSB Holdings and its compensation committee also previously approved change in control severance arrangements for William J. Harnett, the Chairman of WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank, Carol Ramey, the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank, and Gerald Whittaker, the Senior Vice President and Corporate Secretary of WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank.  In the merger agreement, Old Line Bancshares agreed to adopt a similar change in control severance arrangement for Susan L. Grant, who serves as The Washington Savings Bank’s Senior Vice President of Mortgage Banking.  The compensation that could be paid under these arrangements constitutes “golden parachute compensation” within the meaning of Item 402(t) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K, but the board of directors of WSB Holdings is not required to seek an advisory vote from stockholders with respect to these arrangements in connection with the merger.
 
Under these arrangements, each of Mr. Harnett and the executive officers identified above will be entitled to a lump sum cash payment if WSB Holdings is a party to a transaction that results in a change in control and (i) he or she is not retained by WSB Holdings or (if applicable) the acquiring entity on the effective date of the transaction, (ii) he or she is retained but his or her employment is involuntarily terminated by WSB Holdings or (if applicable) the acquiring entity within 18 months of the transaction other than for cause, death or disability, or (iii) he or she is retained but his or her level of compensation (including bonuses) is substantially reduced by WSB Holdings or (if applicable) the acquiring entity within 18 months of the merger and he or she voluntarily terminates his employment during such time.  The merger will constitute a change in control for purposes of these arrangements.  If payable, such compensation will be paid by Old Line Bancshares after consummation of the merger.
 
For all other employees of WSB Holdings or The Washington Savings Bank, including Phillip C. Bowman, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank, who either are not retained by Old Line Bancshares or Old Line Bank in the merger or are retained but are thereafter terminated without “cause” (as defined in the merger agreement) within 12 months of the merger, Old Line Bancshares agreed in the merger agreement to pay them severance pay equal to two weeks’ salary for each full year of service with WSB Holdings or The Washington Savings Bank, up to a maximum of 26 weeks of severance pay.

See “Ownership of WSB Holdings Common Stock” on page 42 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus for additional information on the beneficial ownership of the WSB Holdings directors and executive officers.
(2)
Calculated based on a price per share of WSB Holdings common stock equal to $6.09, the per-share cash consideration in the merger.  This amount does not include any cash attributable to Mr. Harnett’s shares.
(3)
Calculated based on the exchange ratio of 0.5608 and the closing price of $[•] per share of Old Line Bancshares common stock, as reported on The NASDAQ Capital Market on [•], 2012, the latest practicable trading day before the distribution of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. No fractional shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock will be issued in connection with the merger. As a result, each resulting fractional share has been multiplied by $6.09.
(4)
Calculated by assuming (a) 65% of each share of WSB Holdings common stock is converted into Old Line Bancshares common stock (with the value of a full WSB Holdings common share for this purpose calculated based on the exchange ratio of 0.5608 and the closing price of $[•] of Old Line Bancshares common stock, as reported on The NASDAQ Capital Market on [•], 2012, the latest practicable trading day before the distribution of this joint proxy statement/prospectus), and (b) the remaining 35% of each such share is converted into cash (based on a price per share of WSB Holdings common stock equal to $6.09).

Indemnification and Insurance
 
Old Line Bancshares has agreed that for a minimum of three years and a maximum of six years after the merger’s effective date, Old Line Bancshares will, at its expense, maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the former directors and officers of WSB Holdings and its subsidiaries with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the merger’s effective date (a “tail” policy), so long as the policy can be obtained at a cost not in excess of 200% of the annual premium for such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect as of March 31, 2012.  If Old Line Bancshares is unable to obtain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance tail policy at a cost not in excess of 200% of such rate, Old Line Bancshares will obtain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance tail policy with the maximum coverage reasonably available for a cost that is not in excess of 200% of such rate.
 
Board Positions and Compensation
 
Upon completion of the merger and the subsequent bank merger, William J. Harnett and Michael J. Sullivan will be appointed as Old Line Bancshares and Old Line Bank directors and will be entitled to compensation in such capacity on the same basis as other Old Line Bancshares and Old Line Bank directors.  See the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Executive Compensation – Old Line Bancshares, Inc.” under the heading “Director Compensation” for further information about such compensation.
 
Support Agreements
 
As a condition to Old Line Bancshares entering into the merger agreement, each of the directors of WSB Holdings entered into an agreement with Old Line Bancshares, dated as of September 10, 2012, pursuant to which each director agreed to vote all of their shares of WSB Holdings common stock in favor of the merger.  A form of support agreement is Exhibit D to the merger agreement, which is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.  The support agreements may have the effect of discouraging persons from making a proposal for an acquisition transaction involving WSB Holdings.  The following is a brief summary of the material provisions of the support agreements:
 
·  
Each director of WSB Holdings agreed, among other things, to vote, or cause to be voted, at any meeting of WSB Holdings stockholders or other circumstance in which the vote, consent or other approval of stockholders is sought, all of the WSB Holdings common stock as to which he or she is the record or beneficial owner (and including shares held of record by such director’s spouse and children) (a) for approval of the merger, the execution and delivery by WSB Holdings of the merger agreement and the approval of the terms thereof and each of the other actions contemplated by the merger agreement, (b) against any alternative acquisition transaction, and (c) against certain other actions or proposals that are intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or materially adversely affect the merger, the merger agreement or the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
 
·  
Each director of WSB Holdings agreed to take all reasonable actions and to assist in the consummation of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and to use his or her best efforts to cause WSB Holdings and its subsidiaries to take certain actions set forth in the merger agreement with respect to the preparation of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and all required regulatory applications.
 
·  
Each director of WSB Holdings agreed to continue to hold his or her shares of WSB Holdings until the merger is effective or the merger agreement is terminated.
 
·  
Each director agreed not to take any action that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing or disabling him from performing his obligations under the support agreement.

Voting Trust Agreement; Share Election Agreement
 
As a condition to Old Line Bancshares entering into the merger agreement, Mr. Harnett entered into a voting trust agreement with Old Line Bancshares and Craig E. Clark as Trustee, dated as of September 10, 2012, pursuant to which, after the merger is effective, Mr. Harnett will irrevocably assign to a trustee that number of shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock owned by him as necessary to reduce his ownership of the total outstanding shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock to 8.0%.   Pursuant to the agreement, the Trustee will vote such shares in accordance with the instructions of Old Line Bancshares’ board of directors but has no power to sell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer such shares.  Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Harnett can sell the shares assigned to the trust only after first offering the shares to Old Line Bancshares at a purchase price based on recent closing prices on the NASDAQ Stock Market.  If the number of outstanding shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock increases or Mr. Harnett or any person acting in concert with him sells shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock not in the trust, Mr. Harnett can request that the Trustee re-assign shares to him such that his ownership of Old Line Bancshares’ common stock is equal to no more than 8.0%.  Similarly, if Mr. Harnett acquires additional shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock after the effective time of the merger, which causes his ownership of Old Line Bancshares’ outstanding shares of common stock to exceed 8.0%, he will be required to transfer additional shares to the trust such that his percentage ownership is reduced to 8.0%.  The agreement will terminate if the merger is not consummated, and otherwise upon the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the merger or (ii) the effective date of a merger, consolidation or extraordinary event involving Old Line Bancshares and another entity where Old Line Bancshares is not the surviving entity or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of Old Line Bancshares’ assets.  A copy of the voting trust agreement is Exhibit A to the merger agreement, which is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.
 
In addition, as a condition to Old Line Bancshares entering into the merger agreement, Mr. Harnett entered into a share election agreement with Old Line Bancshares dated September 10, 2012, pursuant to which Mr. Harnett agreed that, pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, he would elect to receive in exchange his shares of common stock of WSB Holdings in the merger a mix of 35% cash and 65% Old Line Bancshares common stock.  As a result, based on the per share cash consideration of $6.09 and the per share exchange ratio of 0.5608 to be received as merger consideration, Mr. Harnett is expected to receive $7,043,173 in cash and 1,204,493 shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock in exchange for his 3,304,327 shares of WSB Holdings common stock (and a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share of Old Line Bancshares Common Stock).  A copy of the share election agreement is Exhibit B   to the merger agreement, which is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.
 
Neither the voting trust agreement nor the share election agreement provides for any payment to Mr. Harnett.

96

WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank believe that they have taken all of the actions required by the supervisory agreements and have submitted their plans to the appropriate regulators for approval.  
 
We do not anticipate, however, that Old Line Bank, will be subject to the written agreement following   the bank merger, although we cannot assure you that this will be the case.
 
Accounting Treatment
 
The merger will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with Old Line Bancshares treated as the acquiror.  Under this method of accounting, WSB Holdings’ assets and liabilities will be recorded by Old Line Bancshares at their respective fair values as of the closing date of the merger and added to those of Old Line Bancshares.  Any excess of purchase price over the net fair values of WSB Holdings’ assets and liabilities will be recorded as goodwill.  Any excess of the fair value of WSB Holdings’ net assets over the purchase price will be recognized in earnings as a bargain purchase gain by Old Line Bancshares on the closing date of the merger.  Financial statements of Old Line Bancshares issued after the merger will reflect these values, but will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of WSB Holdings prior to the merger.  The results of operations of WSB Holdings will be included in the results of operations of Old Line Bancshares beginning on the effective date of the merger.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences
 
The following is based on the opinion of Gordon Feinblatt LLC received by WSB Holdings and sets forth the material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger to a WSB Holdings stockholder who holds shares of WSB Holdings common stock as a capital asset.  This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code, judicial authorities, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date of this discussion and all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) and to differing interpretations.  This discussion does not address all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to WSB Holdings stockholders in light of their particular circumstances and does not address aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be applicable to WSB Holdings stockholders subject to special treatment under the Internal Revenue Code (including banks, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting, regulated investment companies, investors in pass-through entities, WSB Holdings stockholders who acquired their shares of WSB Holdings common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, and WSB Holdings stockholders who are not “United States persons” as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code).  In addition, the discussion does not address any aspect of state, local or foreign taxation.  No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain a position contrary to any of the tax aspects set forth below.
 
WSB Holdings stockholders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the particular United States federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the merger to them.
 
The closing of the merger is conditioned upon (i) the receipt by Old Line Bancshares of (a) the opinion of Ober, Kaler, Grimes & Shriver, a Professional Corporation, counsel to Old Line Bancshares, or (b) a letter from Rowles & Company, LLP, the independent certified public accountants for Old Line Bancshares, and (ii) the receipt by WSB Holdings of (a) the opinion of Gordon Feinblatt LLC, counsel to WSB Holdings, or (b) a letter from Stegman & Company, the independent certified public accountants for WSB Holdings, each dated as of the effective date of the merger, to the effect that:
 
·  
The merger constitutes a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
 
·  
Only as to the opinion to be received by WSB Holdings, any gain realized in the merger will be recognized only to the extent of cash or other property (other than Old Line Bancshares common stock) received in the merger, including cash received in lieu of fractional share interests.
 
The tax opinions to be delivered in connection with the merger are not binding on the IRS or the courts, and neither WSB Holdings nor Old Line Bancshares intends to request a ruling from the IRS with respect to the United States federal income tax consequences of the merger.  Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below.  In addition, if any of the facts, representations or assumptions upon which the opinions are based is inconsistent with the actual facts, the United States federal income tax consequences of the merger could be adversely affected.
 
Assuming that the merger will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, the discussion below sets forth the material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger to WSB Holdings stockholders not subject to special treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, as described above.  Such consequences generally will depend on whether WSB Holdings stockholders exchange their WSB Holdings common stock for cash, Old Line Bancshares common stock or a combination of cash and Old Line Bancshares common stock.

Exchange for Old Line Bancshares Common Stock
 
If, pursuant to the merger, a WSB Holdings stockholder exchanges all of his or her shares of WSB Holdings common stock solely for shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock, the stockholder will not recognize any gain or loss except in respect of cash received in lieu of any fractional share of Old Line Bancshares common stock (as discussed below).  The aggregate adjusted tax basis of the shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock received in the exchange will be equal to the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the shares of WSB Holdings common stock surrendered (reduced by the tax basis allocable to any fractional share of Old Line Bancshares common stock for which cash is received), and the holding period of the Old Line Bancshares common stock will include the period during which the shares of WSB Holdings common stock were held by the WSB Holdings stockholder.  If a WSB Holdings stockholder has differing bases or holding periods in respect of his or her shares of WSB Holdings common stock, the stockholder should consult his or her tax advisor prior to the exchange with regard to identifying the bases or holding periods of the particular shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock received in the exchange.
 
Exchange Solely for Cash
 
In general, if, pursuant to the merger, a WSB Holdings stockholder exchanges all of his or her shares of WSB Holdings common stock solely for cash, such holder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and his or her adjusted tax basis in the shares of WSB Holdings common stock surrendered, which gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the stockholder’s holding period with respect to the WSB Holdings common stock surrendered is more than one year.  If, however, the WSB Holdings stockholder owns (or is deemed for tax purposes to own) shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock after the merger, the cash received may be treated as a dividend under certain circumstances.  See “– Possible Treatment of Cash as a Dividend” below.

If, pursuant to the merger, a WSB Holdings stockholder exchanges all of his or her shares of WSB Holdings common stock for a combination of Old Line Bancshares common stock and cash, the stockholder generally will recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of gain realized (i.e., the excess of the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of the Old Line Bancshares common stock received in the exchange over such stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of WSB Holdings common stock surrendered) and (ii) the amount of cash received pursuant to the merger.  For this purpose, gain or loss must be calculated separately for each identifiable block of shares surrendered in the exchange, and loss realized on one block of shares may not be used to offset gain realized on another block of WSB Holdings shares.  Any recognized gain generally will be long-term capital gain if the WSB Holdings stockholder’s holding period with respect to the WSB Holdings common stock surrendered is more than one year.  However, the cash received may be treated as a dividend under certain circumstances.  See “– Possible Treatment of Cash as a Dividend” below.
 
The aggregate tax basis of Old Line Bancshares common stock received by a WSB Holdings stockholder that exchanges his or her shares of WSB Holdings common stock for a combination of Old Line Bancshares common stock and cash pursuant to the merger will be equal to the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the shares of WSB Holdings common stock surrendered, reduced by the amount of cash received by the WSB Holdings stockholder pursuant to the merger, and increased by the amount of gain (including any portion of the gain that is treated as a dividend as described below), if any, recognized by the WSB Holdings stockholder on the exchange.  The holding period of the Old Line Bancshares common stock will include the holding period of the shares of WSB Holdings common stock surrendered.  If a WSB Holdings stockholder has differing bases or holding periods in respect of his or her shares of WSB Holdings common stock, such stockholder should consult his or her tax advisor prior to the exchange with regard to identifying the bases or holding periods of the particular shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock received in the exchange.

Cash Received in Lieu of a Fractional Share
 
Cash received by a WSB Holdings stockholder in lieu of a fractional share of Old Line Bancshares common stock generally will be treated as received in redemption of the fractional share, and gain or loss generally will be recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in lieu of the fractional share and the portion of the stockholder’s aggregate adjusted tax basis of the shares of WSB Holdings common stock surrendered that is allocable to the fractional share.  The gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for the shares of WSB Holdings common stock surrendered is more than one year.  However, the cash received may be treated as a dividend under certain circumstances.  See “– Possible Treatment of Cash as a Dividend” below.
 
Possible Treatment of Cash as a Dividend
 
In general, the determination of whether the receipt of cash in the merger will be treated as a dividend depends upon the extent to which the exchange of stock for cash reduces the WSB Holdings stockholder’s deemed percentage stock ownership of Old Line Bancshares following the merger.  For purposes of this determination, WSB Holdings stockholders will be treated as if they first exchanged all of their shares of WSB Holdings common stock solely for Old Line Bancshares common stock and then Old Line Bancshares immediately redeemed a portion of the Old Line Bancshares common stock in exchange for the cash actually received (the “deemed redemption”).  The gain recognized in the exchange followed by the deemed redemption will be treated as capital gain if (i) the deemed redemption is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the WSB Holdings stockholder (and the stockholder actually or constructively owns after the deemed redemption less than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding Old Line Bancshares common stock) or (ii) the deemed redemption is not “essentially equivalent to a dividend.”
 
The deemed redemption generally will be “substantially disproportionate” with respect to a WSB Holdings stockholder if the percentage of the outstanding stock of Old Line Bancshares that is actually and constructively owned by the stockholder immediately after the deemed redemption is less than 80% of the percentage of the outstanding common stock of Old Line Bancshares that the stockholder is deemed actually and constructively to have owned immediately before the deemed redemption.  If this test is not satisfied, the deemed redemption will not be considered to be “essentially equivalent to a dividend” if it results in a “meaningful reduction” in the stockholder’s deemed percentage stock ownership of Old Line Bancshares.  In applying the above tests, a WSB Holdings stockholder will, under constructive ownership rules, be deemed to own stock that is owned by certain other persons or entities in addition to the stock actually owned by the stockholder.
 
The IRS has ruled that a minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation whose relative stock interest is minimal and who exercises no control with respect to corporate affairs is considered to have a “meaningful reduction” even if the stockholder has only an insignificant reduction in percentage stock ownership under the above analysis.  Accordingly, it is anticipated that few if any WSB Holdings stockholders will be impacted by these rules.  However, as these rules are complex and dependent upon a WSB Holdings stockholder’s specific circumstances, each stockholder that may be subject to these rules should consult his or her tax advisor concerning the potential application of these rules and the consequence of treatment of the cash received as a dividend.
 
Backup Withholding
 
A WSB Holdings stockholder receiving cash in the merger may be subject to backup withholding at a rate of 28% if the stockholder is a non-corporate United States person and (i) fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number, (ii) has been notified by the IRS that it has failed to report all interest or dividends required to be shown on its federal income tax returns, or (iii) in certain circumstances, fails to comply with applicable certification requirements.  Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against a stockholder’s United States federal income tax liability provided that the stockholder furnishes the required information to the IRS.

Information Reporting
 
A WSB Holdings stockholder who receives Old Line Bancshares common stock as a result of the merger will be required to retain records pertaining to the merger.  Each WSB Holdings stockholder who is a “significant holder,” who is required to file a U.S. federal income tax return, and who receives Old Line Bancshares common stock in the merger will be required to file a statement with such stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax return setting forth the name and employer identification number of each party to the merger (WSB Holdings and Old Line Bancshares) and the fair market value and basis of the WSB Holdings common stock surrendered by such stockholder in the merger.  A “significant holder” is a stockholder who, immediately before the merger, owned at least 5% of the outstanding WSB Holdings common stock.
 
This discussion is not intended to be a complete analysis or description of all potential United States federal income tax consequences of the merger.  In addition this discussion does not address tax consequences that may vary with, or are contingent on, individual circumstances.  It also does not address any federal estate tax or state, local or foreign tax consequences of the merger.  Tax matters are very complicated, and the tax consequences of the merger to a WSB Holdings stockholder may depend upon his or her particular situation.  Accordingly, we strongly urge each WSB Holdings stockholder to consult with a tax advisor to determine the particular tax consequences of the merger, as well as to any later sale or other disposition of shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock received in the merger.
 
Restrictions on Sales of Shares by Certain Affiliates
 
The shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock to be issued in the merger will be freely transferable under the Securities Act, except for shares issued to any stockholder who is an “affiliate” of Old Line Bancshares as defined by Rule 144 under the Securities Act.  Affiliates consist of individuals or entities that control, are controlled by or are under common control with Old Line Bancshares, and include the executive officers and directors of Old Line Bancshares and may include significant stockholders of Old Line Bancshares following the merger.
 
Stock Exchange Listing
 
Following the merger, the shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “OLBK.”
 
Appraisal Rights
 
Holders of Old Line Bancshares common stock do not have the right to exercise appraisal rights in connection with the merger.
 
If you are a WSB Holdings stockholder, then under Delaware law you are entitled to dissenters’ rights of appraisal in connection with the merger, provided that you meet all of the conditions set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”).  In particular, under Delaware law, appraisal rights are only available if, among other things, stockholders are required to accept cash for their shares (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares).  Therefore, with respect to any shares WSB Holdings common stock for which you did not elect to receive the per-share cash consideration, but would be required under the merger agreement to receive the per-share cash consideration (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock), you may have the right, if you do not vote in favor of the merger agreement, in lieu of receiving the per-share cash consideration for those shares, to obtain payment in cash for the “fair value” of those shares as determined by the Delaware Chancery Court.  Pursuant to Section 262, WSB Holdings stockholders who do not vote in favor of the merger and who comply with the applicable requirements of Section 262 will have the right to seek appraisal of the fair value of such shares as determined by the Delaware Chancery Court if the merger is completed.  It is possible that the fair value as determined by the Court may be more or less than, or the same as, the per-share merger consideration. WSB Holdings and Old Line Bancshares reserve the right to take the position that appraisal may only be sought with respect to shares described in the second sentence of this paragraph, and may not be exercised with respect to any shares as to which cash was elected or stock was received.
 
 
 
101

 
 
 
WSB Holdings stockholders electing to exercise appraisal rights must comply with the strict procedures set forth in Section 262 in order to demand and perfect their rights.  SINCE THE FINAL ALLOCATION OF CASH AND STOCK MERGER CONSIDERATION WILL NOT BE DETERMINED UNTIL THE CLOSING OF THE MERGER, ANY STOCKHOLDER WISHING TO PRESERVE THEIR RIGHTS TO APPRAISAL MUST MAKE A DEMAND FOR APPRAISAL NOW AS DESCRIBED BELOW.
 
The following is intended as a brief summary of the material provisions of Section 262 required to be followed by dissenting WSB Holdings stockholders wishing to demand and perfect their appraisal rights.  This summary, however, is not a complete statement of all applicable requirements and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262, the full text of which appears in Annex D to this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
 
Under Section 262, WSB Holdings is required to notify stockholders not less than 20 days before the WSB Holdings special meeting to vote on the merger that appraisal rights will be available. A copy of Section 262 must be included with that notice.  THIS JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS CONSTITUTES WSB HOLDINGS’ NOTICE TO ITS STOCKHOLDERS OF THE AVAILABILITY OF APPRAISAL RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERGER UNDER SECTION 262 OF THE DGCL.
 
If you wish to consider exercising your appraisal rights, you should carefully review the text of Section 262 set forth in Annex D to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and consult your legal advisor.  If you fail to timely and properly comply with the requirements of Section 262, your appraisal rights may be lost.  To exercise appraisal rights with respect to your shares of WSB Holdings common stock, you must:
 
·  
Not vote in favor of the merger agreement;
 
·  
Not deliver an executed copy of the enclosed proxy card indicating no choice with respect to the approval of the merger agreement;
 
·  
Deliver to WSB Holdings a written demand for appraisal of your shares before the date of the WSB Holdings special meeting, as described further below under “—Written Demand and Notice;”
 
·  
Continuously hold your shares of WSB Holdings common stock through the date the merger is consummated; and
 
·  
Otherwise comply with the procedures set forth in Section 262.
 
Only a holder of record of shares of WSB Holdings common stock, or a person duly authorized and explicitly purporting to act on that stockholder’s behalf, is entitled to assert appraisal rights for the shares of common stock registered in that stockholder’s name.  A demand for appraisal must be executed by or on behalf of the stockholder of record, fully and correctly, as such stockholder’s name appears on their stock certificates, and must state that such person intends thereby to demand appraisal of his or her shares of WSB Holdings common stock in connection with the proposed merger.  Beneficial owners who do not also hold the shares of record may not directly make appraisal demands to WSB Holdings.  The beneficial owner must, in such cases, have the registered stockholder submit the required demand in respect of those shares.
 
If the shares of WSB Holdings common stock are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, execution of the demand must be made in that capacity, and if the shares of WSB Holdings common stock are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy and tenancy in common, the demand must be executed by or on behalf of all joint owners.  An authorized agent, including an agent for two or more joint owners, may execute a demand for appraisal on behalf of a holder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner or owners and expressly disclose the fact that, in executing the demand, the agent is acting as agent for such owner or owners.  Stockholders who hold their shares of WSB Holdings common stock in brokerage accounts or other nominee forms and who wish to exercise appraisal rights are urged to consult with their brokers to determine the appropriate procedures for the making of a demand for appraisal by such a nominee.
 
 
 
102

 
 
 
Failure to strictly follow the procedures set forth in Section 262 may result in the loss, termination or waiver of appraisal rights.  Stockholders who vote in favor of the approval of the merger agreement will not have a right to have the fair market value of their shares of WSB Holdings common stock determined.  However, failure to vote in favor of the merger agreement is not sufficient to perfect appraisal rights.  If you desire to exercise your appraisal rights, you must also submit to WSB Holdings a written demand for payment of the fair value of the WSB Holdings common stock held by you.
 
Written Demand and Notice.   A written demand for appraisal should be filed with WSB Holdings before the special meeting.  The demand notice will be sufficient if it reasonably informs WSB Holdings of your identity and that you wish to seek appraisal with respect to your shares of WSB Holdings common stock.  All demands should be delivered to: WSB Holdings, 4201 Mitchellville Road, Suite 200, Bowie, Maryland 20716, Attention:  Secretary.
 
Old Line Bancshares, within ten days after the effective date of the merger, will notify each stockholder who has complied with Section 262 and who has not voted in favor of the merger, that the merger has become effective.
 
Judicial Appraisal.   Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, Old Line Bancshares or any stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and has otherwise complied with Section 262 may file a petition with the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the common stock of WSB Holdings held by all such stockholders.  At the hearing on such petition, the Court will determine which stockholders are entitled to an appraisal of their shares and may require the stockholders who have demanded appraisal to submit their certificates to the Register in Chancery so an appropriate legend can be placed on them.  Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the dismissal of the appraisal proceedings with respect to you.
 
After the Delaware Court of Chancery determines the holders of common stock entitled to appraisal, the appraisal proceeding will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Delaware Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings.  Through this proceeding, the Delaware Court of Chancery will determine the fair value of the shares, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, together with interest, to be paid, if any, upon the amount determined to be “fair value” in an appraisal proceeding.  In determining the fair value of the shares the Delaware Court of Chancery will take into account all relevant factors.  In Weinberger v. UOP, Inc. , the Delaware Supreme Court discussed the factors that could be considered in determining fair value in an appraisal proceeding, stating that “proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court” should be considered, and that “fair price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company.”  The Delaware Supreme Court stated that, in making this determination of fair value, the court must consider all relevant factors, which may include market value, asset value, dividends, earnings prospects, the nature of the enterprise and any other facts that could be ascertained as of the date of the merger that throw any light on future prospects of the corporation.  As noted above, Section 262 provides that fair value is to be “exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger.”  In Cede & Co. v. Technicolor, Inc. , the Delaware Supreme Court stated that such exclusion is a “narrow exclusion [that] does not encompass known elements of value,” but which rather applies only to the speculative elements of value arising from such accomplishment or expectation.  Unless the Delaware Court of Chancery in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date through the date of payment of the judgment will be compounded quarterly and accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharges) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment.
 
 
 
103

 
 
 
WSB Holdings stockholders who consider seeking appraisal should consider that the fair value of their shares under Section 262 could be more than, the same as or less than the value of the consideration provided for in the merger agreement without the exercise of appraisal rights.  No representation is made as to the outcome of the appraisal of fair value as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.  The Court of Chancery may determine the cost of the appraisal proceeding and assess it against the parties as the Court deems equitable.  Upon application of a dissenting stockholder, the Court may order that all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any dissenting stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the fees and expenses of experts, be charged pro rata against the value of all shares of WSB Holdings common stock entitled to appraisal.  In the absence of a court determination or assessment, each party will bear its own expenses.
 
Any stockholder who has demanded appraisal in compliance with Section 262 will not, after the effective time, be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or receive payment of dividends or other distributions, if any, on the WSB Holdings common stock, except for dividends or distributions, if any, payable to stockholders of record at a date before the merger.
 
If no petition is filed by either Old Line Bancshares or any dissenting stockholder within the 120-day period, the rights of all dissenting stockholders to appraisal will cease.  WSB Holdings stockholders seeking to exercise appraisal rights should not assume that Old Line Bancshares will file a petition with respect to the appraisal of the fair value of their shares or that Old Line Bancshares will initiate any negotiations with respect to the fair value of those shares.  Old Line Bancshares will be under no obligation to take any action in this regard and has no present intention to do so.  Accordingly, it is the obligation of stockholders who wish to seek appraisal of their shares of WSB Holdings common stock to initiate all necessary action with respect to the perfection of their appraisal rights within the time periods and in the manner prescribed in Section 262.  Failure to file the petition on a timely basis will cause the stockholder’s right to an appraisal to cease.
 
Request for Appraisal Data.   If you submit a written demand for appraisal of your shares of WSB Holdings common stock and otherwise properly perfect your appraisal rights, you may, upon written request mailed to Old Line Bancshares within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, receive a written statement identifying: (1) the aggregate number of shares of WSB Holdings common stock that were not voted in favor of the approval of the merger and with respect to which WSB Holdings has received written demands for appraisal; and (2) the aggregate number of holders of such shares.  Old Line Bancshares will mail this statement to you within ten days after receiving your written request.
 
Withdrawal.   Even if you submit a written demand for appraisal of your shares of WSB Holdings common stock and otherwise properly perfect your appraisal rights, you may withdraw your demand at any time after the effective date of the merger, except that once a petition for appraisal is filed, the appraisal proceeding may not be dismissed as to any holder absent court approval.  The foregoing, however, will not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered under the merger agreement within 60 days after the effective date.  If you withdraw your demand, you will be deemed to have accepted the terms of the merger agreement, which are summarized in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and attached hereto as Annex A.
 
Tax Considerations.   If you elect to exercise your appraisal rights, the payment in cash of the fair value of your shares of WSB Holdings common stock will be a taxable transaction to you as described in the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Merger Agreement and the Merger – Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences.”  WSB Holdings stockholders considering exercising appraisal rights should consult with their own tax advisors with regard to the tax consequences of such actions.

The foregoing summary is not intended to be a complete statement of the procedures for exercising appraisal rights under Section 262 and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Section 262, a copy of which is attached as Annex D to this joint proxy statement/prospectus.  If you fail to comply strictly with these procedures you will lose your appraisal rights.  Consequently, if you wish to exercise your appraisal rights, we strongly urge you to consult a legal advisor before attempting to exercise your appraisal rights.
 
LITIGATION RELATED TO THE MERGER
 
On September 27, 2012, Rosalie Jones, both individually and on behalf of a putative class of WSB Holdings’ stockholders, filed a complaint in the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County, Maryland, against WSB Holdings and its directors as well as Old Line Bancshares.  The complaint seeks to enjoin the proposed merger and alleges, among other things, that the members of WSB Holdings’ board of directors breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to sell WSB Holdings for inadequate and unfair consideration and pursuant to an unfair process.  The complaint also alleges that the WSB Holdings directors agreed to provisions in the merger agreement that constitute “onerous and preclusive deal protection devices,” and that certain officers and directors of WSB Holdings will receive personal benefits from the merger not shared in by other WSB Holdings stockholders.  The complaint further alleges that WSB Holdings and Old Line Bancshares aided and abetted such alleged breaches.
 
The defendants believe that this action is without merit and intend to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.

Anti-Takeover Provisions in Old Line Bancshares’ Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
 
General.   A number of provisions of Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation and bylaws deal with matters of corporate governance and certain rights of stockholders.  The following discussion is a general summary of certain provisions the articles of incorporation and bylaws that might be deemed to have a potential “anti-takeover” effect.  The following description of certain of the provisions of the articles of incorporation and bylaws is necessarily general and reference should be made in each case to the articles of incorporation and bylaws.
 
Extraordinary Transactions.   Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation provide that certain “business combination” (as defined in the articles of incorporation) transactions between Old Line Bancshares and any person who is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 15% of the shares of Old Line Bancshares’ capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors (an “interested stockholder”) (or between Old Line Bancshares and an affiliate of the interested stockholder) require a supermajority vote of holders of 80% of the total outstanding shares of capital stock of Old Line Bancshares unless a majority of the “disinterested directors” (as defined in the articles of incorporation) of Old Line Bancshares approve the business combination if the stockholders of Old Line Bancshares are not receiving cash or other consideration in the transaction or, with respect to all other business combination transactions, unless certain fair price and procedural provisions are satisfied.  In general, the articles of incorporation define a “business combination” as:
 
·  
Any merger or consolidation of Old Line Bancshares or a subsidiary with an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder;
 
·  
Any sale, lease, license, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition to or with any interested stockholder or any affiliate of any interested stockholder of any assets of Old Line Bancshares having an aggregate fair market value equal to or greater than 10% of Old Line Bancshares’ assets;
 
·  
The issuance or transfer by Old Line Bancshares or any subsidiary of any securities thereof to any interested stockholder or any affiliate of any interested stockholder in exchange for cash, securities or other property (or a combination thereof) having an aggregate fair market value equal to or greater than 10% of Old Line Bancshares’ combined assets, except pursuant to an employee benefit plan of Old Line Bancshares;
 
 
 
 
106

 
 
 
·  
Any reclassification or recapitalization of Old Line Bancshares, any merger or consolidation of Old Line Bancshares with any of its subsidiaries, or any other transaction (whether or not with or into or otherwise involving an interested stockholder) that has the effect, directly or indirectly, of increasing the proportionate share of the outstanding shares of any class of equity or convertible securities of Old Line Bancshares or any subsidiary that are directly or indirectly owned by any interested stockholder or any affiliate of any interested stockholder; or
 
·  
The adoption of a plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of Old Line Bancshares proposed by or on behalf of an interested stockholder or any affiliate of any interested stockholder.
 
In general, the articles of incorporation define the term “disinterested director” as any person who is not an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder and who was a member of the board of directors prior to the time that the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder.
 
Classification of the Board of Directors.   Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that it shall have not less than five nor more than 25 directors, the exact number to be fixed by the board of directors, and that the number of directors may be increased or decreased by the board of directors.  Old Line Bancshares’ directors are divided into three classes - Class A, Class B and Class C - each class consisting of an equal number of directors, or as nearly equal as possible, and each serves for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting following the annual meeting at which such director was elected.  A classified board of directors promotes continuity and stability of management but makes it more difficult for stockholders to change a majority of the directors because it generally takes at least two annual elections of directors for this to occur.  Old Line Bancshares believes that classification of its board of directors will help to assure the continuity and stability of its business strategies and policies as determined by its board of directors.
 
Absence of Cumulative Voting. There is no cumulative voting in the election of Old Line Bancshares’ directors.  Cumulative voting means that holders of stock of a corporation are entitled, in the election of directors, to cast a number of votes equal to the number of shares that they own multiplied by the number of directors to be elected.  Because a stockholder entitled to cumulative voting may cast all of his or her votes for one nominee or disperse his or her votes among nominees as he or she chooses, cumulative voting is generally considered to increase the ability of minority stockholders to elect nominees to a corporation’s board of directors.
 
The absence of cumulative voting means that the holders of a majority of Old Line Bancshares’ shares can elect all of the directors then standing for election and the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors.
 
Removal of Directors.   Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that a director may only be removed by the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the votes entitled to be cast in the election of directors and only for cause.
 
Amendment of Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation generally provide that amendments to the articles, including those that would impact anti-takeover provisions, must be approved by the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares entitled to be voted on the matter.  Stockholders generally have no right to amend the bylaws.
 
Authorized Shares.   As indicated above, Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 15,000,000 shares of common stock and authorize the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  The authorization of shares of common and preferred stock in excess of the amount issued provides the board of directors with flexibility to effect, among other transactions, financings, acquisitions, stock dividends, stock splits and stock options or other stock-based compensation.  The unissued authorized shares may also be used by the board of directors consistent with its fiduciary duty to deter future attempts to gain control of Old Line Bancshares.  Also, as indicated above, the board of directors’ right to set the terms of one or more series of preferred stock has anti-takeover effects.
 
 
 
 
107

 
 
 
Procedures For Stockholder Nominations .  Old Line Bancshares’ bylaws provide that any stockholder desiring to make a nomination for the election of directors must submit written notice to Old Line Bancshares prior to the meeting.  This advance notice requirement may give management time to solicit its own proxies in an attempt to defeat any dissident slate of nominations should management determine that doing so is in the best interests of stockholders generally.
 
Anti-Takeover Provisions in the MGCL
 
In addition to the provisions contained in Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation and bylaws, the MGCL includes certain provisions applicable to Maryland corporations that may have an anti-takeover effect, including, but not limited to, the provisions discussed below.
 
Business Combinations .  Under the MGCL, certain “business combinations” between a Maryland corporation and an “Interested Stockholder” (as described in the MGCL) are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the Interested Stockholder became an Interested Stockholder, unless an exemption is available.  Thereafter a business combination must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least (i) 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding voting shares of the corporation and (ii) two thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding voting shares of the corporation other than shares held by the Interested Stockholder with whom the business combination is to be effected, unless the corporation’s stockholders receive a minimum price (as described in the MGCL) for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the Interested Stockholder for its shares.
 
Maryland’s business combination statute does not apply to business combinations that are approved or exempted by the board of directors prior to the time that the Interested Stockholder becomes an Interested Stockholder.  In addition, Maryland’s business combination statute does not apply to a corporation that “opts out” of the business combination statute through a charter provision.  Old Line Bancshares has not elected to “opt out” of Maryland’s business combination statute through a charter provision.
 
Control Share Acquisitions .  The MGCL provides that holders of “control shares” of a Maryland corporation acquired in a “control share acquisition” have no voting rights with respect to the “control shares” except to the extent approved by a vote of holders of two-thirds of the shares entitled to be voted on the matter, excluding shares of stock owned by the acquirer or by officers or directors who are employees of the corporation.  “Control shares” are voting shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other such shares of stock previously acquired by the acquirer, or in respect of which the acquirer is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy, would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting power: (i) one tenth or more but less than one third; (ii) one third or more but less than a majority; or (iii) a majority of all voting power.  Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval.  A “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of control shares, subject to certain exceptions.
 
A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition, upon satisfaction of certain conditions (including an undertaking to pay expenses and delivery of an “acquiring person statement”), may compel the corporation’s board of directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares.  If no request for a meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the question at any stockholders’ meeting.
 
Unless the corporation’s charter or bylaws provide otherwise, if voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person statement within ten days following a control share acquisition then, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the corporation may redeem any or all of the control shares (except those for which voting rights have previously been approved) for fair value determined, without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, as of the date of the last control share acquisition or of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights of such shares are considered and not approved.  Moreover, unless the charter or bylaws provides otherwise, if voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders’ meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to exercise or direct the exercise of a majority or more of all voting power, other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights.  The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of such appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid by the acquirer in the control share acquisition.
 
 
 
 
108

 
 
 
Maryland’s control share acquisition statute does not apply to individuals or transactions that are approved or exempted (whether generally or specifically) in a charter or bylaw provision before the control share acquisition occurs.  Old Line Bancshares has not approved or exempted any individuals or transactions through a charter or bylaw provision.
 
Effect of Anti-Takeover Provisions
 
The foregoing provisions of the articles of incorporation and bylaws and Maryland law could have the effect of discouraging an acquisition of Old Line Bancshares or stock purchases in furtherance of an acquisition, and could accordingly, under certain circumstances, discourage transactions that might otherwise have a favorable effect on the price of our common stock.  In addition, such provisions may make Old Line Bancshares less attractive to a potential acquiror and/or might result in stockholders receiving a lesser amount of consideration for their shares of common stock than otherwise could have been available.
 
Old Line Bancshares’ board of directors believes that the provisions described above are prudent and will reduce Old Line Bancshares’ vulnerability to takeover attempts and certain other transactions that are not negotiated with and approved by its board of directors.  Old Line Bancshares’ board of directors believes that these provisions are in Old Line Bancshares’ best interests and the best interests of its stockholders.  In the board of directors’ judgment, the board of directors is in the best position to determine Old Line Bancshares’ true value and to negotiate more effectively for what may be in the best interests of Old Line Bancshares’ stockholders.  Accordingly, the board of directors believes that it is in Old Line Bancshares’ best interests and in the best interests of Old Line Bancshares’ stockholders to encourage potential acquirors to negotiate directly with the board of directors and that these provisions will encourage such negotiations and discourage hostile takeover attempts.
 
Despite the board of directors’ belief as to the benefits to Old Line Bancshares of the foregoing provisions, these provisions also may have the effect of discouraging a future takeover attempt in which stockholders might receive a substantial premium for their shares over then current market prices and may tend to perpetuate existing management.  As a result, stockholders who might desire to participate in such a transaction may not have an opportunity to do so.  The board of directors, however, believes that the potential benefits of these provisions outweigh their possible disadvantages.
 
COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS
 
The rights of stockholders of Old Line Bancshares are currently governed by Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation and bylaws and applicable provisions of the MGCL.  The rights of stockholders of WSB Holdings are currently governed by WSB Holdings’ certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the applicable provisions of the DGCL.  Upon completion of the merger, stockholders of WSB Holdings will become stockholders of Old Line Bancshares.  Accordingly, their rights as stockholders will be governed by Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation and bylaws, as well as by the MGCL.  Certain differences in the rights of stockholders arise from differences between Old Line Bancshares’ and WSB Holdings’ governing documents and between the MGCL and the DGCL.
 
The following is a summary of material differences in the rights of WSB Holdings stockholders and Old Line Bancshares stockholders.  This discussion is not a complete statement of all differences affecting the rights of stockholders.  We qualify this discussion in its entirety by reference to the DGCL, the MGCL and the respective articles of incorporation and bylaws of WSB Holdings and Old Line Bancshares.

Capitalization
 
WSB Holdings.   The authorized capital stock of WSB Holdings consists of:
 
·  
20,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share; and
 
·  
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share.
 
Old Line Bancshares.   The authorized capital stock of Old Line Bancshares consists of:

15,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share; and
 
·  
1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share.
 
No shares of WSB Holdings preferred stock or Old Line Bancshares preferred stock are outstanding.
 
Voting Rights Generally
 
WSB Holdings.   WSB Holdings’ certificate of incorporation provides that holders of its common stock are entitled to one vote per share.  Holders of common stock have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.
 
WSB Holdings’ certificate of incorporation does not alter the voting requirements otherwise set forth in the DGCL. The DGCL provides that a merger of WSB Holdings into another corporation, or the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of its property or assets, requires approval by its board of directors and the holders of a majority of its outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon.
 
Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the time when such person became an interested stockholder unless: (i) prior to such time, the board of directors approved either the business combination or transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder; (ii) upon becoming an interested stockholder, the stockholder owned at least 85% of the corporation's outstanding voting stock other than shares held by directors who are also officers and certain employee benefit plans; or (iii) the business combination is approved by both the board of directors and by holders of at least 66 2/3% of the corporation's outstanding voting stock (at a meeting and not by written consent), excluding shares owned by the interested stockholder.  For these purposes, a “business combination” includes mergers, asset sales and other similar transactions with an “interested stockholder,” and “interested stockholder” means a stockholder that, together with its affiliates and associates, owns (or, under certain circumstances, has owned within the prior three years) more than 15% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.  Although Section 203 permits a corporation to elect not to be governed by its provisions, WSB Holdings has not made this election.
 
None of the WSB Holdings certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or the DGCL includes a control share acquisition provision limiting the voting rights of holders of “control shares.”
 
Old Line Bancshares.   Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation provide that holders of its common stock have the right to one vote for each share of common stock held.  Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights.
 
 
 
 
110

 
 
 
Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation provide that any “business combination” involving the company, including: (i) a merger or consolidation with an “interested stockholder;” (ii) the sale, lease, license, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of any asset exceeding 10% of the company’s assets to any one or more interested stockholders; (iii) reclassifications, recapitalizations, mergers or consolidations that increase the amount of Old Line Bancshares securities owned by an interested stockholder; and (iv) the adoption of any plan of liquidation or dissolution, must be approved by the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding voting power, unless approved by a majority of the disinterested directors or the transaction complies with certain price and procedural requirements set forth in the articles of incorporation.  See “Description of Old Line Bancshares Capital Stock – Anti-Takeover Provisions in the MGCL” for a discussion of the MGCL’s voting provisions for business combinations with an “interested stockholder” and the limitations of voting rights of holders of “control shares.”
 
In addition, Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation provide that the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of its assets or a merger or consolidation of Old Line Bancshares with or into another corporation requires the approval of holders of only a majority of the shares of each class of its stock outstanding and entitled to vote if such transaction is approved by a majority of the board of directors.  Without such a charter provision, the MGCL provides that the required vote for such transactions is two-thirds of each class of stock outstanding and entitled to vote.
 
Dividends
 
WSB Holdings .  Under the DGCL, the board of directors of WSB Holdings may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of WSB Holdings common stock either out of its surplus or, in the case where there is no surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.  Dividends may not be declared and paid, however, if the capital of WSB Holdings has been diminished to an amount less than the aggregate of all capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets.
 
Old Line Bancshares .  The MGCL provides that the board of directors of Old Line Bancshares may declare and pay a dividend on the shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock if, after giving effect to the dividend, (1) Old Line Bancshares will be able to pay its indebtedness as the indebtedness becomes due in the usual course of business and (2) Old Line Bancshares’ total assets will be equal to or more than the sum of its total liabilities plus, unless the articles of incorporation permits otherwise, the amount that would be needed, if Old Line Bancshares were to be dissolved at the time of the dividend, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights on dissolution are superior to those receiving the dividend.  Notwithstanding the inability to satisfy the condition in item (2), however, a dividend may nevertheless be paid out of Old Line Bancshares’ net earnings for the fiscal year in which the dividend is made, Old Line Bancshares’ net earnings for the preceding fiscal year, or the sum of Old Line Bancshares’ net earnings for the preceding eight fiscal quarters .

Board of Directors
 
Both the DGCL and the MGCL provides that a corporation organized in Delaware and Maryland, respectively, must have a board of directors that consists of at least one director.
 
WSB Holdings.   WSB Holdings’ bylaws provide that its board of directors determines the number of directors that shall constitute the whole board, provided that there must be at least three directors.  Pursuant to WSB Holdings’ certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the directors are divided into three classes, with no one class having more than one more director than any other class, with the terms of the classes scheduled to expire in successive years.  At each annual meeting, WSB Holdings’ stockholders elect the members of a single class of directors who are elected to three-year terms.  Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast.  WSB Holdings currently has eight directors.
 
Under WSB Holdings’ bylaws, its board of directors has the authority to fill vacancies that occur on the board, including vacancies caused by an increase in the number of directors, unless and until such vacancy is filled by the stockholders.
 
 
 
111

 
 
 
Pursuant to the DGCL and its certificate of incorporation, the stockholders of WSB Holdings may remove a director only for cause by the affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds of the total votes eligible to be cast, provided that a director cannot be removed if the votes cast against the director’s removal would be sufficient to elect the director if then cumulatively voted at an election of the class of directors of which such director is a part.  Written notice must be sent to the director or directors whose removal will be considered at least 30 days before a meeting to consider the director’s or directors’ removal.
 
Old Line Bancshares.   Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that its board of directors must be between five and 25 members, with the board having the power to set the number of directors within those limits.  Pursuant to the bylaws, the directors are divided into three classes, as even in number as possible, with the terms of the classes scheduled to expire in successive years.  At each annual meeting, Old Line Bancshares’ stockholders elect the members of a single class of directors who are elected to three-year terms.  Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast.  Old Line Bancshares currently has 14 directors.
 
Under Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation, its board of directors has the authority to fill vacancies that occur on the board, including vacancies caused by an increase in the number of directors, subject to the rights of holders of any preferred stock then outstanding.  Pursuant to Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation, directors may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote in the election of directors, and only after reasonable notice and opportunity for the director to be heard before the body proposing to remove the director.
 
Nominations of Directors
 
WSB Holdings.   WSB Holdings’ bylaws provide that nominations for directors may be made at the annual meeting by the board of directors and by stockholders entitled to vote for the election of directors at the meeting who submit a timely notice of nomination that complies with the procedures set forth in the bylaws.  To be timely, such notice must be submitted between 120 and 150 days before the first anniversary date of the date of the proxy statement delivered to stockholders in connection with the prior year’s annual meeting of stockholders, provided that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or 60 days after such anniversary date or no proxy statement was delivered in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting, the notice must be delivered between 60 and 90 days before the date of the annual meeting or the 10 th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the meeting is made.  The stockholders’ notice of nomination must contain certain information about the identity, background and stock ownership of the proposed nominee and the identity and stock ownership of the person making the nomination.
 
Old Line Bancshares.   Old Line Bancshares’ bylaws provide that the board of directors or any stockholder of record (at the time of giving the required notice) entitled to vote for the election of directors may make nominations for the election of directors.
 
Other than the existing board of directors, stockholders of Old Line Bancshares must make their nominations for director in writing to Old Line Bancshares.  Nominations must be submitted not less than 60 nor more than 90 days before the first anniversary of the date of the prior year’s annual meeting of stockholders, provided that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or 60 days after such anniversary date or no proxy statement was delivered in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting, the notice must be delivered no later than 70 days before the date of the meeting or the 10 th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the meeting is made.  Notices of nominations must contain certain information regarding the identity, background and stock ownership of the proposed nominee and the identity and stock ownership of the person making the nomination.

Standard of Conduct for Directors
 
WSB Holdings .  Under Delaware law, the standards of conduct for directors have developed through written opinions of the Delaware courts.  Generally, directors of a Delaware corporation are subject to a duty of loyalty, a duty of care and a duty of candor.  The duty of care requires directors to exercise the care that a similarly situated person would exercise under similar circumstances, including informing themselves prior to making a business decision of all material information reasonably available to them.  Directors should have sufficient information and should critically examine the information they have.  The duty of loyalty requires directors to act in a manner that a director honestly believes to be in the best interest of the corporation and its stockholders, without regard to self-interest.  The duty of candor requires directors to disclose to stockholders fully and fairly all material information within the board’s control when it seeks stockholder action.
 
Old Line Bancshares.   The standard of conduct for directors of Maryland corporations is generally set forth in Section 2-405.1 of the MGCL, which requires that a director of a Maryland corporation perform his or her duties in good faith, with a reasonable belief that the director’s actions are in the best interests of the corporation and with the care of an ordinarily prudent person in a like position under similar circumstances.  Under the MGCL, a director is presumed to satisfy this standard of conduct.
 
Amendments to the Certificate/Articles of Incorporation
 
WSB Holdings.   Pursuant to the DGCL, amendments to WSB Holdings’ certificate of incorporation require the approval of its board of directors and holders of a majority of (i) the outstanding stock entitled to vote on such amendment and (ii) the outstanding stock of each class entitled to vote on such amendment.
 
Old Line Bancshares.   Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation generally may be amended by affirmative vote of a majority of the board of directors and the holders of at least two-thirds of the total votes eligible to be cast on the matter, provided that amendments to Article FOURTH with respect to the election and removal of directors require the approval of 80% of the total voting power of the company entitled to vote in the election of directors generally.
 
Amendments to Bylaws
 
WSB Holdings.   Only its board of directors has the power to amend WSB Holdings’ bylaws.  Stockholders do not have the right to amend the bylaws.
 
Old Line Bancshares.   In general, Old Line Bancshares’ board of directors has the power to amend its bylaws.  Stockholders generally do not have the right to amend the bylaws.
 
Limited Liability
 
WSB Holdings.   WSB Holdings’ certificate of incorporation provides that its directors are not liable to WSB Holdings or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except: (a) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to WSB Holdings or its stockholders; (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (c) under Section 174 of the DGCL; or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  Section 174 of the DGCL governs the liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases and redemptions.
 
Old Line Bancshares.   Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation provide that its officers and directors are not personally liable to Old Line Bancshares or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties, provided that such provision does not eliminate or limit personal liability of an officer or director:
 
·  
To the extent that it is proved that the person actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services, for the amount of the benefit or profit in money, property or services actually received;
 
 
 
113

 
 
 
·  
To the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the person is entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the person’s action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding; or
 
·  
In an administrative proceeding or action instituted by an appropriate bank regulatory agency which proceeding or action results in a final order requiring affirmative action by an individual or individuals in the form of payments to the company.
 
Indemnification
 
WSB Holdings.   WSB Holdings’ bylaws provide that it will indemnify and hold harmless each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of WSB Holdings or is or was serving at its request as a director, officer, employee, partner or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise to the fullest extent authorized by, and, except as otherwise set forth in the bylaws, subject to the conditions and procedures set forth in the DGCL, against all expenses, liabilities and losses reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with any such proceeding.  WSB Holdings will indemnify a person who initiates a proceeding against WSB Holdings, other than an action to enforce their indemnification right, only if such proceeding was authorized by the board of directors.  The board may authorize indemnification to other persons who are not directors or officers and are not so serving at WSB Holdings’ request may be similarly indemnified in respect of such service to the extent authorized at any time by the board of directors.
 
The DGCL permits indemnification by a Delaware corporation if the person being indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful.  Further, in an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, the person also must have reasonably believed his or her actions were in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and a person adjudged liable to the corporation is entitled to indemnification only to the extent determined by the court adjudicating the matter.
 
WSB Holdings bylaws also provide that, to the extent required by the DGCL, the indemnification provisions include the right to payment of expenses in advance of final disposition upon delivery to WSB Holdings of an undertaking by or on behalf of such officer or director to repay any such advanced amounts if it is ultimately determined that the officer or director is not entitled to indemnification.  The DGCL provides that a Delaware corporation may advance expenses upon an undertaking to repay if it is determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification, but does not mandate such advancement.
 
Old Line Bancshares.   Old Line Bancshares’ articles of incorporation provide that, to the fullest extent under the MGCL, it will indemnify its past, present and future directors and officers against all expenses, liability and losses reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which such officer or director is a party or threatened to be made a party, by reason of his having been an officer or director of the company or, at the company’s request, any other entity, provided, however, that the company will indemnify any such person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by the board of directors, except for a proceeding to enforce such person’s right to indemnification or advancement of expenses.
 
The MGCL provides that a Maryland corporation may not indemnify a director if it is established that:
 
·  
The act or omission of the director was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;
 
 
 
114

 
 
 
·  
The director actually received an improper benefit in money, property or services;
 
·  
In the case of any criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful; or
 
·  
In the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the company, the director is adjudged to be liable to the company, unless the court in which the suit was brought determines that indemnification is nevertheless proper, in which case indemnification is limited to expenses.
 
Its articles of incorporation provide that Old Line Bancshares cannot indemnify any officer, director or employee against expenses, penalties or other payments incurred in an administrative proceeding or action instituted by an appropriate bank regulatory agency which proceeding or action results in a final order assessing civil monetary penalties or requiring affirmative action by an individual or individuals in the form of payments to the company.
 
The articles of incorporation also provide for the right to advancement of expenses in connection with the indemnification rights set forth above, provided such officer or director undertakes to reimburse such amounts if it is determined by a court that such person is not entitled to indemnification and advancement of expenses.  The articles of incorporation also permit Old Line Bancshares to indemnify any employee or agent to the same extent as provided for officers and directors.
 
Special Stockholders’ Meetings
 
WSB Holdings.   Special meetings of WSB Holdings’ stockholders may be called at any time for any purpose by its board of directors, its Chairperson or its President, and must be called by its Chairperson, President or Secretary upon the written request of holders of at least 10% of all outstanding shares of WSB Holdings stock that are entitled to vote at the meeting.
 
Old Line Bancshares.   Special meetings of Old Line Bancshares’ stockholders may be called at any time by its board of directors, the Chairman of the board of directors or by stockholders owning, in the aggregate, not less than 20% of the stock of the company, and must be called by the Secretary of the company upon the written application of one or more stockholders who are entitled to vote and hold at least one-fifth in interest of the capital stock entitled to vote at such meeting.
 
Stockholder Action Without a Meeting
 
WSB Holdings.   The DGCL provides that, unless otherwise provided in its certificate of incorporation, any action required or that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of a Delaware corporation’s stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting.  WSB Holdings’ certificate of incorporation does not alter the DGCL’s provisions with respect to stockholder action without a meeting.
 
Old Line Bancshares.   The MGCL provides that common stockholders may take action by unanimous written consent.

115

 
 
 
Appraisal Rights
 
WSB Holdings.   Because WSB Holdings’ common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, WSB Holdings stockholders generally do not have appraisal or dissenters rights in connection with extraordinary transactions or otherwise that would allow them to demand payment of the fair value of their shares in connection with a merger, consolidation, share exchange, asset transfer, business combination or charter amendment that substantially adversely alters the stockholder’s rights.  As described in more detail under “The Merger Agreement and the Merger – Appraisal Rights,” there are some exceptions, however, such as for a merger, consolidation or share exchange in which the holders would receive something besides stock, depositary receipts, cash in lieu of fractional shares or any combination thereof.
 
The appraisal rights of WSB Holdings stockholders are governed by the DGCL, which, as described in more detail under “The Merger Agreement and the Merger – Appraisal Rights,” provides that stockholders are generally entitled to dissent from, and demand payment of the fair value of their shares in connection with, a merger, consolidation, share exchange, asset transfer, business combinations or charter amendment that substantially adversely alters the stockholder’s rights.
 
Old Line Bancshares.   Because Old Line Bancshares’ common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Old Line Bancshares’ stockholders generally do not have appraisal or dissenters rights in connection with extraordinary transactions or otherwise.  There are some exceptions, however, such as for a merger, consolidation or share exchange in which the holders would receive something besides stock, depositary receipts, cash in lieu of fractional shares or any combination thereof, or if the company’s directors and executive officers owned 5% or more of the company’s outstanding voting stock any time in the past year.
 
Inspection Rights
 
WSB Holdings.   Under the DGCL, any stockholder may, for any proper purpose, inspect a corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders and its other books and records, and may make copies of and extracts from the record.  A stockholder may exercise this right only upon written demand under oath.  The inspection must occur during regular business hours.
 
Old Line Bancshares.   Under the MGCL, one or more persons who together are and have been stockholders of record of a corporation for at least six months and in total hold at least 5% of the outstanding stock of any class may inspect and copy the corporation’s books of account and stock ledger, request a written statement of the corporation’s affairs and request a list of the corporation’s stockholders.  In addition, any stockholder of a Maryland corporation may (i) inspect and copy the bylaws, minutes of the proceedings of stockholders, annual statement of affairs and voting trust agreements and (ii) request the corporation to provide a sworn statement showing all stock, as well as any other securities, issued and all consideration received by the corporation during the preceding 12 months.

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 OCC.  Currently, Old Line Bank’s primary regulator is the Maryland Commissioner.
 
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 Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Prince George’s and 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
 
Merger with Maryland Bankcorp, Inc.
 
On April 1, 2011, Old Line Bancshares acquired Maryland Bankcorp, the parent company of Maryland Bank & Trust Company, N.A. (“MB&T”).  We converted each share of common stock of Maryland Bankcorp into the right to receive, at the holder’s election, $29.11 in cash or 3.4826 shares of Old Line Bancshares’ common stock. We paid cash for any fractional shares of Old Line Bancshares’ common stock and an aggregate cash consideration of $1.0 million.  The total merger consideration was $18.8 million.
 
In connection with the acquisition, MB&T was merged with and into Old Line Bank, with Old Line Bank the surviving bank.
 
The acquisition increased Old Line Bancshares’ total assets by more than $349 million for total assets immediately after closing of approximately $750 million.  As a result of this acquisition Old Line Bank is the sixth largest independent commercial bank based in Maryland, with assets of more than $750 million and 19 full service branches serving five counties.
 
Branch Expansion Developments
 
The acquisition of MB&T added ten full service branches to Old Line Bank’s existing ten branch network, enhanced our presence in Charles County and established a branch network in St. Mary’s and Calvert Counties.  We subsequently closed one of the branches in Charles County.
 
In 2009, we substantially completed our organic 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.
 
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.

On January 2, 2011, we executed an agreement to lease 3,682 square feet of space on the 1st floor of an office building, plus the area comprising the drive-thru banking facilities, located at 2530 Riva Road in Annapolis, Maryland.  We moved our current Annapolis branch to this new location during the second quarter of 2011.  We are currently evaluating alternative uses for the existing branch.
 
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.
 
The acquisition of MB&T also significantly expanded our lending operations.  As a result of the acquisition, we added a loan production office in Lexington Park, St. Mary’s County, Maryland, a loan production office in Prince Frederick, Calvert, County, Maryland and consolidated MB&T’s Waldorf, Charles County, Maryland loan production office into our existing Waldorf lending production office.  This consolidation expanded our presence in Charles County, Maryland.
 
As anticipated, the acquisition, the addition of new lenders and our new branches caused an increase in non-interest expenses in 2011 and the first nine months of 2012.  As a result of the addition of these individuals and branches, however, we also experienced an increased level of loan and deposit growth during 2011 and the first nine months of 2012 that we expect will continue for the foreseeable future, which has provided and we expect will continue to 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 Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Prince George’s and 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 seven branch locations and three loan production offices in Prince George’s County.
 
 
 
119

 
 
 
Five of our branch offices and a loan production office are located in Charles County, Maryland.  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, Maryland.  We have one in Annapolis that we opened in September 2008 that we relocated and expanded to include a loan production office in 2011.  We have another 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 Marshall 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.
 
As a result of the acquisition of MB&T, in April 2011, we expanded our branch network to encompass the southern Maryland counties of Calvert and St. Mary’s.  The unemployment rates in Calvert and St. Mary’s counties are among the lowest in the state of Maryland and also consistently rank below the national average.
 
Calvert County is located approximately 25 miles southeast of Washington, D.C. Calvert County is one of  several Maryland counties that comprise the Washington Metropolitan Area and is adjacent to Anne Arundel, Prince George’s, St. Mary’s and Charles Counties.  Major employers in Calvert County include municipal and government agencies and Constellation Energy.  We have two branches and a loan production office in Calvert County.
 
In St. Mary’s County, we have three branches and a loan production office.  St. Mary’s County is located approximately 35 miles southeast of Washington, D.C. It is adjacent to Charles and Calvert counties and is home to the Patuxent River Naval Air Station, a major naval air testing facility on the east coast of the United States.
 
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, prior to 2008, we provided luxury boat financing to individuals, who generally tended 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 our executive officers and eight 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 we employ experienced lending officers, secure appropriate collateral and carefully monitor the financial condition of our borrowers and the concentrations of loans in the portfolio.
 
 
 
120

 
 
 
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.
 
Old Line Bank also retains an outside, independent 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, standby 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 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, multifamily housing and commercial buildings. These loans have short durations, meaning maturities typically of nine months or less. Residential houses, multifamily 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 bases.  We inspect each project as needed prior to advancing funds during the term of the construction loan.
 
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 subprime 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 totaling approximately $8.0 million of these loans 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.  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 individual’s debt service should not exceed 36% of his or her gross income, the individual must own a 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.

Personal and Household Loans
 
We also make consumer loans for personal, family or household purposes as a convenience to our customer base.  As a general guideline, a consumer’s total debt service should not exceed 40% of his or her 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.
 
Many of the loans that we acquired from MB&T do not adhere to the stringent underwriting standards that we maintain.  Accordingly, during our due diligence process, we evaluated these loans using our underwriting standards and discounted the book value of these loans.  This discounted book value was subsequently incorporated into our initial purchase price.  Where appropriate, we have risk rated all of the acquired loans to correlate with the risk ratings used in the legacy loan portfolio.
 
Lending Limit
 
As of September 30, 2012, our legal lending limit for loans to one borrower was approximately $10.5 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.
 
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, prepaid 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.  We also provide our customers investment services including investment management, estate and succession planning and brokerage services.

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.  We do use brokered deposits as a funding mechanism.  Our primary source of brokered deposits is the Promontory Interfinancial Network (Promontory).  Through this deposit matching network and its certificate of deposit account and money market registry services, 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 Promontory on behalf of a customer, we receive matching deposits through the network.  During 2009 and 2010, we also purchased brokered certificates of deposit from other sources.  We did not purchase brokered deposits from any other source in 2011 or the first nine months of 2012.
 
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 larger 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 November 30, 2012, Old Line Bank had 163 full time and 20 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 has no employees.
 
Supervision and Regulation
 
Old Line Bancshares 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 summary sets forth certain material elements of the regulatory framework applicable to Old Line Bancshares and Old Line Bank.  It does not describe all of the provisions of the statutes, regulations and policies that are identified.  To the extent that the following information describes statutory and regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by express reference to each of the particular statutory and regulatory provisions.  A change in applicable statutes, regulations or regulatory policy may have a material effect on our business.

Old Line Bancshares, Inc.
 
Old Line Bancshares 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.
 
In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act and Federal Reserve Board policy, a bank holding company is expected to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner.  In addition, in serving as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks, a bank holding company should stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity and should maintain the financial flexibility and capital raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks.  A bank holding company’s failure to meet its obligations to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks will generally be considered by the Federal Reserve Board to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of the Federal Reserve Board regulations or both.  This doctrine is commonly known as the “source of strength” doctrine.  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 Board’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 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 bank holding company or the merger or consolidation by a bank holding company with another bank holding company.  In general, the Bank Holding Company Act limits the business of bank holding companies to banking, managing or controlling banks, furnishing services for its authorized subsidiaries, and engaging in activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined, by order or regulation, to be so closely related to banking and/or managing or controlling banks as to be properly incident thereto.  Some of the activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined by regulation to be closely related to banking include servicing loans, performing certain data processing services, acting as a fiduciary, investment or financial advisor, and making investments in corporations or projects designed primarily to promote community welfare.
 
The Change in Bank Control Act and the related regulations of the Federal Reserve Board require any person or persons acting in concert, to file a written notice with the Federal Reserve Board before the person or persons acquire direct or indirect “control” of a bank or bank holding company.  As a general matter, a party is deemed to control a bank or bank holding company if the party owns or controls 25% or more of any class of voting stock.  Subject to rebuttal, a party may be presumed to control a bank or bank holding company if the investor owns or controls 10% or more of any class of voting stock.  Ownership by affiliated parties, or parties acting in concert, is typically aggregated for these purposes.  If a party’s ownership of Old Line Bancshares were to exceed the above thresholds, the investor could be deemed to “control” Old Line Bancshares for regulatory purposes.  This could subject the investor to regulatory filings or other regulatory consequences.
 
The Federal Reserve Board has adopted guidelines regarding the capital adequacy of bank holding companies, which require bank holding companies to maintain specified minimum ratios of capital to total assets and capital to risk-weighted assets. See "Capital Adequacy Guidelines." The Federal Reserve Board has the power to prohibit dividends by bank holding companies if their actions constitute unsafe or unsound practices. The Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies, which expresses the Federal Reserve Board's view that a bank holding company should pay cash dividends only to the extent that the company's net income for the past year is sufficient to cover both the cash dividends and a rate of earnings retention that is consistent with the company's capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial condition.

The Federal Reserve Board and the Commissioner regularly examine the operations and condition of Old Line Bancshares.  In addition, the Federal Reserve Board and the Commissioner have enforcement authority over Old Line Bancshares, which includes the power to remove officers and directors and the authority to issue cease-and-desist orders to prevent Old Line Bancshares from engaging in unsafe or unsound practices or violating laws or regulations governing its business. 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.
 
The status of Old Line Bancshares 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 of the powers of a commercial bank), and is a member of the Federal Reserve System.  Deposits of Old Line Bank are insured to the maximum legal limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the FDIC.  It is subject to regulation, supervision and regular examination by the Commissioner and the Federal Reserve Board.  The regulations of these various agencies govern most aspects of Old Line Bank’s business, including lending, borrowing, investments, required reserves against deposits, mergers and acquisitions, dividends and location and number of branch offices.  In addition, Old Line Bank is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations that set forth specific requirements with respect to extensions of credit, credit practices, disclosure of credit terms, and discrimination in credit transactions.
 
The Federal Reserve Board and the Commissioner regularly examine the operations and condition of Old Line Bank, including, but not limited to, its capital adequacy, reserves, loans, investments, and management practices. These examinations are for the protection of Old Line Bank’s depositors and the Deposit Insurance Fund. In addition, Old Line Bank is required to furnish quarterly and annual reports to the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board's enforcement authority includes the power to remove officers and directors and the authority to issue cease-and-desist orders to prevent a bank from engaging in unsafe or unsound practices or violating laws or regulations governing its business. 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.
 
The Federal Reserve Board has adopted regulations regarding capital adequacy, which require member banks to maintain specified minimum ratios of capital to total assets and capital to risk-weighted assets. See “– Capital Adequacy Guidelines.”  Federal Reserve Board regulations and State law limit the amount of dividends that Old Line Bank may pay to Old Line Bancshares.  See “– Dividends.”
 
The Dodd-Frank Act
 
The Dodd-Frank Act, enacted in 2010, will have a broad impact on the financial services industry, imposing significant regulatory and compliance changes, including the designation of certain financial companies as systemically significant, the imposition of increased capital, leverage, and liquidity requirements, and numerous other provisions designed to improve supervision and oversight of, and strengthen safety and soundness within, the financial services sector.
 
 
 
 
126

 
 
 
The following items provide a brief description of certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act.
 
·  
Source of strength.   The Dodd-Frank Act requires all companies that directly or indirectly control an insured depository institution to serve as a source of strength to the institution.  Under this requirement, Old Line Bancshares in the future could be required to provide financial assistance to Old Line Bank should Old Line Bank experience financial distress.
 
·  
Mortgage loan origination and risk retention.   The Dodd-Frank Act contains additional regulatory requirements that may affect our operations and result in increased compliance costs.  For example, the Dodd-Frank Act imposes new standards for mortgage loan originations on all lenders, including banks, in an effort to require steps to verify a borrower’s ability to repay.  In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act generally requires lenders or securitizers to retain an economic interest in the credit risk relating to loans the lender sells or mortgage and other asset-backed securities that the securitizer issues. The risk retention requirement generally will be 5%, but could be increased or decreased by regulation.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”).   The Dodd-Frank Act created a new independent CFPB within the Federal Reserve Board.  The CFPB is tasked with establishing and implementing rules and regulations under certain federal consumer protection laws with respect to the conduct of providers of certain consumer financial products and services.  The CFPB has rulemaking authority over many of the statutes governing products and services offered to bank consumers, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices.  For banking organizations with assets under $10 billion, like Old Line Bank, the Federal Reserve Board, as Old Line Bank’s primary federal regulator, will continue to have examination and enforcement authority under federal consumer financial law.  In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act permits states to adopt consumer protection laws and regulations that are stricter than those regulations promulgated by the CFPB.  Compliance with any such new regulations would increase our cost of operations.
 
·  
Deposit insurance.   The Dodd-Frank Act made permanent the general $250,000 deposit insurance limit for insured deposits.  The Dodd-Frank Act also extends until January 1, 2013, federal deposit insurance coverage for the full net amount held by depositors in noninterest bearing transaction accounts.  Amendments to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”) broadened the assessment base against which an insured depository institution’s deposit insurance premiums paid to the Deposit Insurance Fund are calculated.  These provisions could increase the FDIC deposit insurance premiums paid by Old Line Bank.
 
·  
Enhanced lending limits.   The Dodd-Frank Act strengthened the existing limits on a depository institution’s credit exposure to one borrower.  Federal banking law prohibits a depository institution’s ability to extend credit to one person (or group of related persons) in amounts that exceed certain thresholds.  The Dodd-Frank Act expanded the scope of these restrictions to include credit exposure arising from derivative transactions, repurchase agreements, and securities lending and borrowing transactions.
 
·  
Corporate governance.    The Dodd-Frank Act addresses many investor protection, corporate governance and executive compensation matters that will affect most U.S. publicly traded companies, including Old Line Bancshares. The Dodd-Frank Act provides the SEC with authority to adopt proxy access rules that would allow stockholders of publicly traded companies to nominate candidates for election as a director and have those nominees included in a company’s proxy materials and directs the SEC and national securities exchanges to adopt rules that: (1) provide stockholders of U.S. publicly traded companies an advisory vote on executive compensation; (2) will enhance independence requirements for compensation committee members; and (3) will require companies listed on national securities exchanges to adopt incentive-based compensation clawback policies for executive officers.

Many of the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented over time and the full extent of the impact such requirements will have on our operations is unclear.  The changes resulting from the Dodd-Frank Act may impact the profitability of our business activities, require changes to certain of our business practices, impose upon us more stringent capital, liquidity and leverage requirements or otherwise adversely affect our business.  These changes may also require us to invest significant management attention and resources to evaluate and make any changes necessary to comply with new statutory and regulatory requirements.  Failure to comply with the new requirements may negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.  While we cannot predict what effect any presently contemplated or future changes in the laws or regulations or their interpretations would have on us, these changes could be materially adverse to our investors.
 
Capital Adequacy Guidelines
 
The federal bank regulatory agencies have adopted risk-based capital adequacy guidelines by which they assess the adequacy of capital in examining and supervising banks and bank holding companies 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.  Pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act the agencies have established five capital tiers for depository institutions: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain discretionary, and under certain circumstances, mandatory, actions by regulators that could have a direct material adverse effect on Old Line Bank’s financial condition.  On June 12, 2012, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued proposed new capital rules that would implement the Basel III regulatory reforms and provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act that require the agencies to establish minimum risk-based and leverage capital requirements.  See “ Proposed New Capital rules.”  If adopted, these new regulatory requirements would generally increase the levels of capital that Old Line Bancshares and Old Line Bank will be required to maintain in order to meet regulatory minimums, engage in certain transactions, and make dividend payments.
 
Banks and bank holding companies are expected to maintain minimum ratios of capital to risk-weighted assets.  There are two main categories of capital under the guidelines.  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), less goodwill and certain other deductions.  Tier 2 capital consists of perpetual preferred stock that is not otherwise eligible to be included as Tier 1 capital, hybrid capital instruments, term subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock, and, subject to limitations, general allowances for credit losses.  Tier 2 capital is limited to the amount of Tier 1 capital.  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 that are typically held by a commercial bank, including certain multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans and consumer loans, to 200% for certain non-investment grade investments.  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 bank regulatory agencies have established a minimum 3% leverage capital ratio (Tier 1 capital to total adjusted assets) requirement for the most highly-rated banks and bank holding companies, with an additional cushion of at least 100 to 200 basis points for all other banks and bank holding companies, which effectively increases the minimum leverage capital ratio for such other banks to 4% or 5% or more.  Under the applicable regulations, highest-rated banks and bank holding companies are those that the federal bank regulatory agencies determine 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 or bank holding company that has less than the minimum leverage capital ratio requirement must submit, to the applicable regulator for review and approval, a reasonable plan describing the means and timing by which the bank or bank holding company will achieve its minimum leverage capital ratio requirement.  A bank or bank holding company that 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.

Under federal prompt corrective action regulations, the Federal Reserve Board is authorized and, under certain circumstances required, to take supervisory actions against state member banks that are not adequately capitalized. Under these regulations, a bank is considered to be (i) “well capitalized” if it maintains a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater, and Tier I leverage capital of 5.0% or greater (measured as tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets), and is not subject to any written capital order or directive; (ii) “adequately capitalized” if it has total risk-based capital of 8.0% or more, Tier I risk-based capital of 4.0% or more and Tier I leverage capital of 4.0% or more (3.0% under certain circumstances), and does not meet the definition of “well capitalized”; (iii) “undercapitalized” if it has total risk-based capital of less than 8.0%, Tier I risk-based capital of less than 4.0% or Tier I leverage capital of less than 4.0% (3.0% under certain circumstances); (iv) “significantly undercapitalized” if it has total risk-based capital of less than 6.0%, Tier I risk-based capital less than 3.0%, or Tier I leverage capital of less than 3.0%; and (v) “critically undercapitalized” if its ratio of tangible equity to total assets is equal to or less than 2.0%.  Under certain circumstances, the Federal Reserve Board may reclassify a well capitalized institution as adequately capitalized, and may require an adequately capitalized institution or an undercapitalized institution to comply with supervisory actions as if it were in the next lower category (except that the Federal Reserve Board may not reclassify a significantly undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized).  The Federal Reserve Board may set higher capital requirements for an individual institution when particular circumstances warrant.
 
Currently, Old Line Bank is well capitalized and will continue to be well capitalized after the bank merger with The Washington Savings Bank.
 
As an additional means to identify problems in the financial management of depository institutions, the FDIA requires federal bank regulatory agencies to establish certain non-capital safety and soundness standards for institutions for which they are the primary federal regulator.  The standards relate generally to operations and management, asset quality, interest rate exposure and executive compensation.  The agencies are authorized to take action against institutions that fail to meet such standards.
 
Proposed New Capital Rules
 
On June 12, 2012, the federal bank regulatory agencies adopted notices of proposed rulemaking in which they proposed to revise their risk-based and leverage capital requirements consistent with agreements reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in “Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems” (“Basel III”).  If adopted, the new requirements would introduce new tier 1 common equity ratio requirements of 4.5% and 6.5%, net of regulatory deductions, for adequately capitalized and well-capitalized institutions, respectively, and would also establish more conservative standards for including an instrument in regulatory capital.  The new requirements would also introduce a capital conservation buffer of an additional 2.5% of common equity to risk-weighted assets, raising the target minimum common equity ratio to 7%, the minimum tier 1 capital ratio to 8.5%, and the minimum total capital ratio to 10.5%.  An institution’s failure to achieve these minimum levels including the capital conservation buffer would restrict the institution’s ability to make capital distributions, including dividends, and to make certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.  The regulatory agencies also reserve the right to require capital ratios for individual institutions that are higher than these minimums depending on the institution’s individual circumstances.  The new requirements would also assign new risk weight categories for certain assets, most notably residential mortgage loans, high volatility commercial real estate loans, and past due assets.  These new risk weightings may require banks and bank holding companies to maintain additional capital against assets in those categories and may introduce more volatility in their capital ratios.
 
If adopted in their proposed form, the requirements will be phased in over a multi-year period.  The ultimate impact of the new capital and liquidity standards on us is currently being reviewed and will depend on a number of factors, including the final rulemaking and implementation by the bank regulatory agencies.  We cannot determine the ultimate effect that the final regulations, if enacted, would have upon our earnings or financial position.

Deposit Insurance
 
The deposits of Old Line Bank are insured up to applicable limits per insured depositor by the FDIC.  The Dodd-Frank Act permanently increased the FDIC deposit insurance coverage per separately insured depositor for all account types to $250,000.  In November 2010, as required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC issued a Final Rule that provides for unlimited insurance coverage of non-interest bearing demand transaction accounts, regardless of the balance of the account, through December 31, 2012.  On January 18, 2011, the FDIC issued a Final Rule to include Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts (“IOLTAs”) in the temporary unlimited insurance coverage for non-interest bearing demand transaction accounts.  This temporary unlimited insurance coverage replaces the Transaction Account Guarantee Program (TAGP), which expired on December 31, 2010.  Unlike the TAGP, there is no special assessment associated with the temporary unlimited insurance coverage, nor may institutions opt out of the unlimited coverage.
 
Under the FDIA, the FDIC may terminate insurance of deposits upon a finding that an 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.
 
Deposit Insurance Assessments
 
Under current FDIC regulations, each depository institution is assigned to a risk category based on capital and supervisory measures.  In 2009, the FDIC revised the method for calculating the assessment rate for depository institutions by introducing several adjustments to an institution’s initial base assessment rate.  A depository institution is assessed premiums by the FDIC based on its risk category and the amount of deposits held. On February 7, 2011, the FDIC approved a final rule on Assessments, Dividends, Assessment Base and Large Bank Pricing (“Rule”).  The Rule, mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act, changes the deposit insurance assessment system from one that is based on domestic deposits to one that is based on average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity.  In addition, the Rule adopts a “scorecard” assessment scheme for larger banks and suspends dividend payments if the Deposit Insurance Fund reserve ratio exceeds 1.5%, but provides for decreasing assessment rates when the Deposit Insurance Fund reserve ratio reaches certain thresholds.  Under the Rule, larger insured depository institutions will likely be forced to pay higher assessments to the Deposit Insurance Fund than under the old system, which should offset the cost of the assessment increases for institutions with consolidated assets of less than $10 billion, such as Old Line Bank.
 
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008
 
In the third quarter of 2008, the Federal Reserve Board, 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.

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 2011, we paid $42,529 to the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation.
 
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.
 
Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation W limit the extent to which a bank or its subsidiaries may engage in “covered transactions” with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of such bank’s capital stock and surplus, and contain an aggregate limit on all such transactions with all affiliates to an amount equal to 20% of such bank’s capital stock and surplus.  An affiliate of a bank is generally any company or entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the bank.  In a holding company context, the parent bank holding company and any companies which are controlled by such parent holding company are affiliates of the bank. The term “covered transaction” includes the making of loans, purchase of assets, issuance of guarantees, and other similar transactions. In addition, loans or other extensions of credit by a bank to an affiliate are required to be collateralized in accordance with regulatory requirements and the bank’s transactions with affiliates must be consistent with safe and sound banking practices and may not involve the purchase by the bank of any low-quality asset from an affiliate.  Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act applies to covered transactions as well as certain other transactions between a bank and its affiliates and Section 23B and Regulation W require that all such transactions be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable, to the bank as those provided to non-affiliates. 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.  All of Old Line Bank’s transactions with its affiliates comply with the applicable provisions of Sections 23A and 23B and Regulation W.
 
Section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation O govern extensions of credit made by a bank to its directors, executive officers, and principal stockholders (“insiders”).  Among other things, these provisions require that extensions of credit to insiders be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons and that do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features.  Further, such extensions may not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of the bank’s capital.  Extensions of credit in excess of certain limits must be also be approved by the board of directors. All of Old Line Bank’s loans to its and Old Line Bancshares’ executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders, and affiliated interests of such persons, comply with the requirements of 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 such loans and loan commitments in accordance with all applicable laws.

Loans to One Borrower
 
Old Line Bank is subject to 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. An additional amount may be lent, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if such loan is secured by readily marketable collateral, which is defined to include certain securities and bullion, but generally does not include real estate.
 
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’s Regulation D, which applies to all depository institutions.  Specifically, beginning on January 1, 2012, amounts in transaction accounts above $11.5 million and up to $71.0 million must have reserves held against them in the ratio of three percent of the amount.  Amounts above $71.0 million require reserves of $1,785,000 plus 10 percent of the amount in excess of $71.0 million.  The Maryland reserve requirements may be used to satisfy the requirements of Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation D.  Old Line Bank is in compliance with its reserve requirements.
 
Dividends
 
Old Line Bancshares is a legal entity separate and distinct from Old Line Bank.  Virtually all of Old Line Bancshares’ revenue available for the payment of dividends on its common stock results from dividends paid to Old Line Bancshares by Old Line Bank.  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 Board 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.
 
Standards for Safety and Soundness
 
Federal law requires each federal banking agency to prescribe certain standards for all insured depository institutions.  These standards relate to, among other things, internal controls, information systems and audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, compensation, and other operational and managerial standards as the agency deems appropriate. Interagency guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired.  If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard.  If an institution fails to meet these standards, the appropriate federal banking agency may require the institution to implement an acceptable compliance plan.  Failure to implement such a plan can result in further enforcement action, including the issuance of a cease and desist order or the imposition of civil money penalties.
 
 
 
132

 
 
 
Anti-Money Laundering and OFAC
 
Under federal law, financial institutions must maintain anti-money laundering programs that include established internal policies, procedures and controls; a designated compliance officer; an ongoing employee training program; and testing of the program by an independent audit function.  Financial institutions are also prohibited from entering into specified financial transactions and account relationships and must meet enhanced standards for due diligence and customer identification in their dealings with foreign financial institutions and foreign customers.  Financial institutions must take reasonable steps to conduct enhanced scrutiny of account relationships to guard against money laundering and to report any suspicious transactions, and law enforcement authorities have been granted increased access to financial information maintained by financial institutions. Bank regulators routinely examine institutions for compliance with these obligations, and they must consider an institution’s compliance in connection with the regulatory review of applications, including applications for banking mergers and acquisitions.  The regulatory authorities have imposed “cease and desist” orders and civil money penalty sanctions against institutions found to be violating these obligations.
 
The Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, is responsible for helping to insure that U.S. entities do not engage in transactions with certain prohibited parties, as defined by various Executive Orders and Acts of Congress. OFAC sends bank regulatory agencies lists of persons and organizations suspected of aiding, harboring or engaging in terrorist acts, known as Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons.  If Old Line Bancshares or Old Line Bank finds a name on any transaction, account, or wire transfer that is on an OFAC list, they must freeze such account, file a suspicious activity report, and notify the appropriate authorities.
 
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.  Further, under the “Interagency Guidelines Establishing Information Security Standards,” banks must implement a comprehensive information security program that includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information.  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.
 
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information. We have prepared policies, procedures and systems designed to ensure compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related regulations.
 
 
 
133

 
 
 
Other Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives
 
In addition to the Dodd-Frank Act and the regulations that will be promulgated thereunder, new proposals may be introduced in the United States Congress and in the Maryland Legislature and before various bank regulatory authorities which would alter the powers of, and restrictions on, different types of banking organizations and which would restructure part or all of the existing regulatory framework for banks, bank holding companies and other providers of financial services.  Moreover, other bills may be introduced in Congress which would further regulate, deregulate or restructure the financial services industry, including proposals to substantially reform the regulatory framework.  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
 
Domestic economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and its agencies affect our earnings.  The Federal Reserve Board’s monetary policies have had, and are likely to continue to have, an important impact on the operating results of financial institutions 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.
 
Properties
 
As of December 12, 2012, we operate a total of 19 branch locations and seven loan production offices.  Our headquarters is located at 1525 Pointer Ridge Place, Bowie, Maryland in Prince George’s County.  Pointer Ridge Office Investment, LLC, an entity in which we have an approximately $699,500 investment and a 62.50% ownership interest owns this property.  Frank Lucente, a director of Old Line Bancshares and Old Line Bank controls 12.50% of Pointer Ridge and controls the manager of Pointer Ridge.

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 $699,500 investment in 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 65% of this building for our main office and operate a branch of Old Line Bank from this address.
 
On April 1, 2011, we acquired Maryland Bankcorp, the parent company of MB&T.  This acquisition created the sixth largest independent commercial bank based in Maryland, with assets of more than $750 million and with 19 full service branches serving five counties.
 
Summary of Recent Performance and Other Activities
 
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
 
In a continually challenging economic environment, we are pleased to report continued profitability for the third quarter of 2012.  Net income available to common stockholders was $2.0 million or $0.30 per basic and $0.29 per diluted common share for the three month period ended September 30, 2012.  This was $320,802 or 18.79% higher than net income available to common stockholders of $1.7 million or $0.25 per basic and diluted common share for the same period in 2011.  Net income available to common stockholders was $5.8 million or $0.85 per basic and $0.84 per diluted common share for the nine month period ending September 30, 2012.  This was $2.4 million or 70.33% higher than net income available to common stockholders of $3.4 million or $0.56 per basic and diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
 
The following highlights certain financial data and events that have occurred during the first nine months and third quarter of 2012:
 
·  
On September 10, 2012, we announced that we had executed a merger agreement that provided for the acquisition of WSB Holdings.
 
·  
As a result of our business development efforts, expanded market area and increased name recognition:
 
·  
Average total loans grew approximately $69.0 million or 13.59% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011.
 
·  
Average non-interest bearing deposits grew $23.8 million or 14.67% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 relative to the same period in 2011.
 
·  
Average total loans grew approximately $125.1 million or 28.64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Our acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp also contributed to our growth in the nine month period.
 
·  
Average non-interest bearing deposits grew $53.5 million or 43.16% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 relative to the same period in 2011.
 
·  
Our asset quality remained strong:
 
·  
At September 30, 2012, we had six legacy loans (loans originated by Old Line Bank) on non-accrual status in the amount of $3.2 million.
 
 
 
137

 
 
 
 
·  
At September 30, 2012, we had 27 acquired loans (loans acquired from MB&T pursuant to the merger) on non-accrual status totaling $5.1 million compared to 26 acquired non-accrual loans totaling $4.6 million at December 31, 2011.
 
·  
At third quarter end 2012, we had accruing legacy loans past due between 30 and 89 days in the amount of $2.3 million and $2,064 accruing legacy loans 90 or more days past due.
 
·  
At September 30, 2012, we had accruing acquired loans totaling $24,335 past due between 30 and 89 days and $81,486 accruing acquired loans 90 or more days past due.
 
·  
We ended the third quarter of 2012 with a book value of $10.83 per common share and a tangible book value of $10.17 per common share.
 
·  
We maintained liquidity and by all regulatory measures remained “well capitalized”.
 
·  
We decreased the provision for loan losses by $425,000 during the three month period and increased it by $125,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to September 30, 2011.
 
·  
As a result of the provision discussed above, and net charge offs for the nine month period of $372,523, the allowance for loan losses increased to $4.5 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $3.7 million at December 31, 2011.
 
·  
We recognized a loss, net of taxes, on our investment in Pointer Ridge of approximately $34,000 and $96,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012
 
In June 2012, we established Old Line Financial Services as a division of Old Line Bank and hired an individual with over 25 years of experience to manage this division.  Old Line Financial Services allows us to expand the services we provide our customers to include retirement planning and products.  Additionally, this division offers investment services to include investment management, estate and succession planning and allows our customers to directly purchase individual stocks, bonds and mutual funds.  Through this division customers may also purchase life insurance, long term care insurance and key man/woman insurance.

On April 1, 2011, all MB&T branches were rebranded as Old Line Bank branches and all data processing and accounting systems were consolidated.  As discussed below, during the second quarter of 2011, we also substantially completed the assessment and recordation on our financial statements of MB&T’s assets and liabilities at fair value as required by current accounting guidance.  With the exception of the closing of one MB&T branch, which MB&T had previously designated for closure, we have also retained, and expect to continue to retain, all of MB&T’s branches, and the branch personnel with severance of employees occurring only at MB&T’s operations, accounting and executive offices.
 
In accordance with accounting for business combinations, we recorded the acquired assets and liabilities at their estimated fair value on April 1, 2011, the acquisition date.  The determination of the fair value of the loans caused a significant write down in the value of certain loans, which we assigned to an accretable or non-accretable balance.  We will recognize the accretable balance as interest income over the remaining term of the loan.  We will recognize the non-accretable balance as the borrower repays the loan.  The accretion of the loan marks, along with other fair value adjustments, favorably impacted our net interest income by $876,046 and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.  We based the determination of fair value on cash flow expectations and/or collateral values.  These cash flow evaluations are inherently subjective as they require material estimates, all of which may be susceptible to significant change.  Change in our cash flow expectations could impact net interest income after provision for loan losses.  We will recognize any decline in expected cash flows as impairment and record a provision for loan losses during the period.  We will recognize any improvement in expected cash flows as an adjustment to interest income.
 
In conjunction with the merger, we also recorded the deposits acquired at their fair value and recorded a core deposit intangible of $5.0 million.  The amortization of this intangible asset was $177,582 for the three month period and $549,839 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012.

Strategic Plan
 
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 collecting payments on non-accrual and past due loans, profitably disposing of OREO, enhancing and maintaining credit quality, maintaining an attractive branch network, expanding fee income, generating extensions of core banking services, and using technology to maximize stockholder value.  During the past two years, we have expanded in Prince George’s County and Anne Arundel County, Maryland and the acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp has expanded our operations in Charles County and into St. Mary’s and Calvert Counties, Maryland.
 
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. We provide selected commercial customers the ability to remotely capture their deposits and electronically transmit them to us.  We will continue to evaluate cost effective ways that technology can enhance our management capabilities, products and services.
 
We may take advantage of other 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 also continually evaluate and consider opportunities with financial services companies or institutions with which we may become a strategic partner, merge or acquire.
 
Although the current economic climate continues to present significant challenges for our industry, we have worked diligently towards our goal of becoming the premier community bank in the Washington D.C. market.  While we remain uncertain whether the economy will remain at its current anemic growth or if the high unemployment rate, soaring national debt and high gas prices will continue to dampen the economic climate, we continue to remain cautiously optimistic that we have identified any problem assets and our remaining borrowers will continue to stay current on their loans and that we can continue to grow our balance sheet and earnings.  Now that we have substantially completed our branch expansion, enhanced our data processing capabilities and expanded our commercial lending team, we believe that we are well positioned to continue to capitalize on the opportunities that may become available in a healthy economy as we did with the Maryland Bankcorp acquisition.
 
 
 
143

 
 
 
Until completion of the merger with WSB Holdings, we anticipate that merger related expenses will cause lower than expected earnings. We anticipate the merger will be accretive to earnings within three quarters of closing.  We also anticipate that the acquisition and integration of WSB Holdings will enhance the liquidity of our stock as well as our overall financial condition and operating performance.  We anticipate that as a result of the pending acquisition of WSB Holdings, salaries and benefits expenses and other operating expenses will be higher in 2013 than they were during the first half of 2012 and that they will be during full-year 2012.  Similarly, we expect that salaries and benefits expenses and other operating expenses will continue to be higher in 2012 than they were in 2011 as a result of the acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp.  As previously reported, we have identified several areas within the former MB&T non-interest expense structure that we expected would provide expense reductions from those incurred since the acquisition date of April 1, 2011.  We realized these expense reductions during the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012.  As we anticipated, the income generated from the branches acquired in the Maryland Bankcorp merger, as well as the new branches and employees we acquired as a result of the merger, have more than offset any increase in expenses.  We believe with our 19 branches, our lending staff, our corporate infrastructure and our solid balance sheet and strong capital position, we can continue to focus our efforts on improving earnings per share and enhancing stockholder value.
 
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.  Cost of funds consists of interest bearing deposits and other borrowings.  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.
 
Three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to three months ended September 30, 2011
 
Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased $617,202 or 8.18% to $8.2 million from $7.5 million for the same period in 2011.  As discussed below and outlined in detail in the Rate/Volume Analysis, these changes were the result of growth in average interest earning assets and the change in the composition of average interest earning assets that occurred with the movement of funds from lower yielding interest bearing deposits into higher yielding loans and investment securities.  A decline in interest paid on interest bearing liabilities also contributed to the improvement in net interest income.  The accretion of the fair value adjustments positively impacted net interest income after provision for loan losses as did the $425,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses.  The faster than expected repayment of impaired loans that we acquired from MB&T was the most significant factor that caused these changes.
 
 
 
 
144

 
 
Although a competitive rate environment and a low prime rate cause low market yields that continue to negatively impact net interest income, the relatively stable rate environment has allowed us to adjust the mix and volume of interest earning assets and liabilities on the balance sheet.
 
We offset the effect on net income caused by the low rate environment primarily by growing total average interest earning assets by $78.8 million or 11.69% to $752.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $674.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.   The growth in net interest income that derived from the increase in total average interest earning assets was partially offset by growth in average interest bearing liabilities.  Average interest bearing deposits which increased to $553.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $486.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was the primary cause of the growth in interest bearing liabilities.  The growth in average interest earning assets and interest bearing deposits was primarily a result of increased name recognition in our market place and our business development efforts, particularly our increased business development efforts in our new market area resulting from our acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp.
 
Non-interest bearing deposits allow us to fund growth in interest earning assets at minimal cost.  As a result of growth generated from our branch network, our average non-interest bearing deposits increased $23.8 million to $186.3 million.
 
Our net interest margin was 4.72% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 5.01% for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The yield on average interest earning assets decreased 44 basis points during the period from 5.83% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 to 5.39% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  Twenty one basis points of this decrease was primarily because we had a lower dollar value of impaired loans that we acquired from MB&T repaid this quarter relative to the same quarter of 2011, which caused a lower accretion of fair value adjustments as outlined below.  This coupled with re-pricing in the loan portfolio caused the average loan yield to decline.
 
During three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we continued to successfully collect payments on acquired loans that we had recorded at fair value according to ASC 310-20 and ASC 310-30, albeit at a lower dollar value during the 2012 period than we accomplished during the same period of 2011.  These payments were a direct result of our efforts to negotiate payments, sell notes or foreclose on and sell collateral after the acquisition date.  The accretion of the fair value adjustments positively impacted the yield on loans and increased the net interest margin as follows:

Nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2011
 
Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $5.2 million or 28.44% to $23.6 million from $18.4 million for the same period in 2011.  As discussed below and outlined in detail in the Rate/Volume Analysis, these changes were the result of growth in average interest earning assets and the change in the composition of average interest earning assets that occurred with the movement of funds from lower yielding interest bearing deposits into higher yielding loans and investment securities.  A decline in interest paid on interest bearing liabilities also contributed to the improvement in net interest income.  The accretion of the fair value adjustments positively impacted net interest income after provision for loan losses while the $125,000 increase in the provision for loan losses negatively impacted it.  The acquisition of MB&T was the most significant factor that caused these changes and the slight improvement in net interest margin as discussed below.
 
Although a competitive rate environment and a low prime rate cause low market yields that continue to negatively impact net interest income, the relatively stable rate environment has allowed us to continue to adjust the mix and volume of interest earning assets and liabilities on the balance sheet.  This also contributed to the improvement in the net interest margin.
 
We offset the effect on net interest income caused by the low rate environment primarily by growing total average interest earning assets $165.3 million or 29.16% to $732.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $566.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The growth in net interest income that derived from the increase in total average interest earning assets was partially offset by growth in average interest bearing liabilities.  Average interest bearing deposits which increased to $533.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $414.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was the primary cause of the growth in interest bearing liabilities.  The growth in average interest earning assets and interest bearing deposits was primarily a result of the acquisition of MB&T.

Non-interest bearing deposits allow us to fund growth in interest earning assets at minimal cost.  As a result of the MB&T acquisition and growth generated from our branch network and lenders, our average non-interest bearing deposits increased $53.5 million to $177.3 million.  This was also a significant contributor to the improvement in the net interest margin.
 
Our net interest margin was 4.69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 4.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The yield on average interest earning assets declined 17 basis points during the period while the yield on interest bearing liabilities declined 23 basis points.  The decline in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily attributable to re-pricing in the loan portfolio which was partially offset by our success in collecting payments on impaired loans acquired from MB&T at a faster rate than initially anticipated.  The decline in the yield on interest bearing liabilities was the result of a decline in rates paid on money market, NOW and other time deposits.  The accretion of fair value adjustments on certificates of deposits acquired from MB&T also reduced the yield paid on other time deposits.
 
With the branches acquired in the MB&T acquisition and increased recognition in Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, St. Mary’s and Prince George’s counties, the high level of non-interest bearing deposits and continued growth in these and interest bearing deposits, we anticipate that we will continue to grow earning assets during the remainder of 2012.  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 during the remainder of 2012 and beyond.  We also believe that we will maintain the net interest margin in the range of 4.50% for the remainder of 2012, although we will not be able to maintain this net interest margin if we fail to collect on a significant portion of impaired acquired loans.  As a result of this growth and maintenance of the net interest margin, we expect that net interest income will continue to increase during the remainder of 2012 and remain stable during 2013, although there can be no guarantee that this will be the case.
 
One of our primary sources of funding loans, investments and interest bearing deposits is non-interest bearing demand deposits.  Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act depository institutions have been permitted to pay interest on business transaction and other accounts since July 21, 2011.  Although, we have not yet experienced any impact from this provision of the legislation on our operations, it is possible that interest costs associated with deposits will increase.

During the nine months ended in September 30, 2012, we successfully collected payments on acquired loans that we had recorded at fair value according to ASC 310-20 and ASC 310-30. These payments were a direct result of our efforts to negotiate payments, sell notes, or foreclose on and sell collateral after the acquisition date. The accretion of the fair value adjustments positively impacted the yield on loans and increased the net interest margin as follows:

2011 compared to 2010
 
Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 increased $12.8 million or 102.67% to $25.3 million from $12.5 million for the same period in 2010.  As discussed below and outlined in detail in the Rate/Volume Analysis, these changes were the result of average interest earning assets growing at a faster rate than average interest bearing liabilities, an improvement in interest rates earned on interest earning assets, and a decline in interest paid on interest bearing liabilities.  The accretion of the fair value adjustments positively impacted net interest income after provision for loan losses while the $718,000 increase in the provision for loan losses negatively impacted it.  The acquisition of MB&T was the most significant factor that caused these changes and the improvement in net interest margin as discussed below.

Although a competitive rate environment and a low prime rate have caused lower market yields that have negatively impacted net interest income in 2011, the relatively stable rate environment has allowed us to adjust the mix and volume of interest earning assets and liabilities on the balance sheet.  This also contributed to the improvement in the net interest margin.
 
We offset the effect on net income caused by the low rate environment primarily by growing total average interest earning assets $243.8 million or 68.56% to $599.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 from $355.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.   The growth in average interest earning assets derived from a $174.0 million increase in average total loans and a $76.3 million increase in average investment securities.  The growth in net interest income that derived from the increase in total average interest earning assets was partially offset by growth in average interest bearing liabilities. The growth in average interest bearing liabilities resulted primarily from the $172.8 million increase in average interest bearing deposits which increased to $435.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 from $263.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.
 
Our net interest margin was 4.61% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to 3.86% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.  The yield on average interest earning assets increased 23 basis points during the period from 5.25% for the year ended December 31, 2010 to 5.48% for the year ended December 31, 2011.   This increase was primarily because we received a higher average rate on the loan portfolio and paid a 56 basis point lower rate on interest bearing liabilities.
 
During 2011, we successfully collected payments or payment in full on acquired loans that we had recorded at fair value according to ASC 310-20 and ASC 310-30.  These payments occurred subsequent to the acquisition of MB&T on April 1, 2011 and were a direct result of our efforts to negotiate payments, sell notes or foreclose on and sell collateral after the acquisition date.  The accretion of the fair value adjustments positively impacted the yield on loans and increased the net interest margin as follows:

Non-interest bearing deposits are a primary source of funding for our investment and loan portfolios.  These deposits allow us to fund growth in interest earning assets at minimal cost.  As a result of the MB&T acquisition and growth generated from our legacy branch network, our average non-interest bearing deposits increased $78.0 million to $132.3 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.  This was also a significant contributor to the improvement in the net interest margin as it allowed us to increase our level of interest earning assets which allowed us to increase interest income without a corresponding increase in interest bearing liabilities and interest expense.
 
2010 compared to 2009
 
Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2010 amounted to $12.5 million, which was $1.9 million or 17.92% greater than the 2009 level of $10.6 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 400 basis points during the year.  During 2009 and 2010, 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 400 basis points during the year.  During 2009 and 2010, the intended federal funds rate remained relatively constant at zero to 0.25% for the entire period.  These declines have caused the short and long term interest yield to decline dramatically during the past two years from prior periods.  As a result, when investments and loans matured during 2009 and 2010, they were invested in lower yielding securities and loans.
 
We offset the effect on net interest income caused by these declines in interest rates primarily by growing total average interest earning assets $47.2 million to $355.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $308.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The growth in average interest earning assets derived primarily from a $30.9 million increase in average total loans, an $11.2 million growth in average investment securities and a $2.8 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 partially offset by growth in average interest bearing deposits which grew $41.3 million to $263.0 million from $221.7 million.
 
One of our primary sources of funding loans, investments and interest bearing deposits is non-interest bearing demand deposits.  The growth of this lower cost funding base positively impacts our net interest margin.  Average non-interest bearing deposits grew $14.9 million or 37.82% to $54.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $39.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
Our net interest margin was 3.86% for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to 3.77% for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The increase in the net interest margin occurred because the cost of interest bearing deposits decreased 56 basis points from 2.05% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 to 1.49% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.  A four basis point decline in the interest yield on borrowed funds also contributed to the improvement in the net interest margin.  The decrease in these interest yields during the comparable periods was primarily the result of decreases in interest rates offered on certain deposit products due to decreases in average market interest rates and decreases in renewal interest rates on maturing certificates of deposit.

Interest revenue is presented on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis.  The FTE basis adjusts for the tax favored status of these types of assets.  Management believes providing this information on a FTE basis provides investors with a more accurate picture of our net interest spread and net interest income and we believe it to be the preferred industry measurement of these calculations.  See “ Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures.”
 
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.
 
Three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to three months ended September 30, 2011
 
The provision for loan losses was $375,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to $800,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $425,000 or 53.13%.  After completing the analysis outlined below, we decreased the provision for loan losses. Our asset quality continues to remain relatively stable, and as a result of the receipt of approximately $20 million in payoffs on loans during the three month period we experienced minimal growth in the loan portfolio during the three months ended September 30, 2012.  We have allocated a specific reserve for those loans where we consider it probable that we will incur a loss.  Our non-performing assets remain statistically low at 1.34% of total assets and total past due accruing loans remained manageable at $2.5 million.
 
Nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2011
 
The provision for the nine month period was $1.1 million. This represented a $125,000 or 12.50% increase as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we increased the provision for loan losses because we believe that the addition of several new lenders from the acquisition, the anemic economy and growth in our loan portfolio warranted an increased provision.

We review the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly.  Subsequent to the acquisition of MB&T, we classified all acquired loans using the same risk rating and review processes as those associated with our legacy portfolio.  Our quarterly review includes evaluation of impaired loans (legacy and acquired) 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’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 measure credit impairment at each period end on all loans that have been classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) using the guidance in ASC 310-10-35.
 
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.  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, 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, probability of loss factors 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 allocate a portion of the allowance for loan losses 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, probability of loss factors and industry standards.
 
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.  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 economic factors, competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in our existing portfolio.
 
 
 
157

 
 
 
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.
 
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 will be 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.
 
As discussed below under “–Asset Quality – Non-Accrual Legacy Loans and Legacy Other Real Estate Owned” and further outlined in Note 5 to our financial statements, we had one legacy loan in the amount of $1,169,337 that is a residential land acquisition and development loan secured by real estate.  In February 2012, we sold at foreclosure the property that secured the promissory note on this loan and expected to receive ratification of the foreclosure and proceeds from the sale of approximately $970,000 during the first quarter of 2012.  Therefore, during the first quarter of 2012, we charged $200,000 to the allowance for loan losses to properly reflect the net sales proceeds that we expected to receive.  The courts have rejected the foreclosure.  We have subsequently re-foreclosed on the property.  We received ratification of the sale in the third quarter, are currently waiting for approval of the audit from the courts and expect to complete settlement of the sale of the property in the fourth quarter of 2012.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we also charged $335,539 to the allowance for loan losses for two legacy loans to one borrower that were secured by a blanket lien on the borrower’s assets and a second deed of trust on the guarantor’s personal residence.  The borrower ceased operations, filed bankruptcy and the collateral has no value.  We have filed judgment against the guarantors.  We charged off an additional legacy loan in the amount of $46,511 during the second quarter of 2012.  The borrower on this loan has filed bankruptcy.

The other significant charge offs during the period related to acquired non-accrual loans. During the second quarter of 2012, we charged off an acquired loan in the amount of $29,012.  We have liquidated the assets of this borrower and received a nominal recovery.  During the first quarter of 2012, we charged off a loan in the amount of $47,635.  At December 31, 2011, we had considered this loan impaired and had allocated the entire balance of this loan in the allowance for loan losses.  The remaining charge offs during the period related primarily to several acquired consumer loans and one acquired residential mortgage.  The recoveries recorded to the allowance for loan losses were all substantially recovered from acquired loans that were charged to the allowance for loan losses at MB&T prior to the acquisition date of April 1, 2011.

The following table details activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the nine month period ended September 30, 2012.  Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.

Generally accepted accounting principles require that we record acquired loans at fair value which includes a discount for loans with credit impairment.  These loans are not performing according to their contractual terms and meet our definition of a non-performing loan.  The discounts that arise from recording these loans at fair value were due to credit quality.  Although we do not accrue interest income at the contractual rate on these loans, we may accrete these discounts to interest income as a result of pre-payments that exceed our expectations or payment in full of amounts due even though we classify them as non-accrual.
 
In 2011, we recorded the loans acquired from MB&T at fair value.  The fair value of the acquired loans includes expected loan losses, and there was no loan loss allowance recorded for acquired loans at the time of acquisition.  Accordingly, the existence of the acquired loans reduces the ratios of the allowance for loan losses to total gross loans and the allowance for loan losses to non-accrual loans, and this measure is not directly comparable to prior periods.  Similarly, net loan chargeoffs are normally reduced for acquired loans since we recorded these loans net of expected loan losses.  Therefore, the ratio of net chargeoffs during the period to average loans outstanding is reduced as a result of the existence of acquired loans, and the measures are not directly comparable to prior periods.  Other institutions may not have acquired loans, and therefore there may be no direct comparability of these ratios between and among other institutions.
 
 
 
 
 
 
163

 

 
The accounting guidance also requires that if we experience a decrease in the expected cash flows subsequent to the acquisition date, that we establish an allowance for loan losses for those acquired loans with decreased cash flows.  At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there was an allowance of $819,867 and $47,635, respectively, as a result of a decrease in the expected cash flows subsequent to the acquisition date.  Other institutions may not have acquired loans or they may not classify these loans as non-accrual and therefore there may be no direct comparability of these ratios between and among other institutions.

2011 compared to 2010
 
The provision for loan losses was $1.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $1.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $718,000 or 66.36%.  After completing the analysis outlined above, during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011, we increased the provision for loan losses primarily because although our asset quality remained stable, we experienced approximately $50.0 million in organic growth in the legacy portfolio during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and the economy remained weak.  We have allocated a specific reserve for those loans where we consider it probable that we will incur a loss.  Although there are no indicators that our legacy asset quality has deteriorated or changed in any manner, the addition of several new lenders from the acquisition, the increased size and complexity of the acquired portfolio and the anemic growth in the economy all contribute to increased uncertainty regarding the future performance of our borrowers.  As a result, our historical asset quality may not be an accurate indicator of our future performance.  Therefore, we determined that it was prudent to increase the allowance for loan losses.  Our legacy non-performing assets remain statistically low at 0.16% of total assets and we had only $744,610 of legacy loans past due between 30-89 days and $34,370 past due 90 days or more at year end.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2011, we charged approximately $446,000 related to a legacy real estate loan and a legacy consumer loan in the amount of $47,261 to the allowance for loan losses.  The borrower and guarantor on the real estate loan have filed bankruptcy.  During the first quarter of 2011, we charged $446,000 to the allowance for loan losses and reduced the balance on this loan from $1,616,317 to $1,169,337, which represented the fair value of the underlying collateral. As outlined above, during the first quarter of 2012, we charged an additional $200,000 to the allowance for loan losses to properly reflect the value of the collateral that secures this loan and we expect to complete settlement of the sale of the property in the fourth quarter of 2012.
 
During the first quarter of 2011, we also repossessed a boat.  At the time of the repossession, in order to carry the boat at its fair value, we charged $47,261 to the allowance for loan losses.  We subsequently sold the boat and recorded an additional loss of approximately $120,000 in non-interest expense.  The remaining charges to the allowance for loan losses were primarily related to various immaterial acquired loans.  The recoveries recorded to the allowance for loan losses were all substantially recovered from acquired loans that were charged to the allowance for loan losses at MB&T prior to the acquisition date of April 1, 2011.

2010 compared to 2009
 
The provision for loan losses was $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  This represented a $182,000 or 20.22% increase as compared to $900,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  After completing the analysis above, we increased the provision for loan losses primarily because we had seen a modest increase in our historical losses over prior periods and some of our borrowers continued to report weaker profitability.  At year end 2010, we had three loans totaling $2.7 million past due and classified as non-accrual.  We had no other loans past due between 30-89 days.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2010, we charged $1.1 million to the allowance for loan losses.  This amount derived primarily from two loans.  The first loan was an unsecured facility in the amount of $137,151.  The borrower experienced health related problems that detrimentally impacted his business.  The second loan is a residential land acquisition and development loan.  During the third quarter of 2010, we received a deed in lieu of foreclosure on this property and an appraisal of the property indicated that the value was insufficient to repay the full principal balance and cost associated with the property.  Therefore, we recognized this impairment and charged $946,739 to the allowance for losses during the third quarter of 2010.  The remaining amount charged to the allowance for loan losses during 2010 consisted of small deficiencies related to various loans.
 
The allowance for loan losses represented 0.78% of total loans at September 30, 2012, 0.69% of total loans at December 31, 2011, 0.82% of total loans at December 31, 2010 and 0.93% of total loans at December 31, 2009.  We had 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 reflected the inherent risk of loss in our portfolio.

Non-Interest Revenue
 
Three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to three months ended September 30, 2011
 
Non-interest revenue totaled $840,102 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $175,699 or 17.30% from the 2011 amount of $1.0 million.  Non-interest revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 included fee income from service charges on deposit accounts, gain on sales or calls of investment securities, earnings on bank owned life insurance, gains or losses on sales of OREO and other fees and commissions including revenues with respect to Pointer Ridge.  The primary cause of the decrease in non-interest revenue was declines in gain on sales of OREO, service charge on deposit accounts, earnings on bank owned life insurance and other fees and commissions.  Gain on sales of OREO decreased because we sold two acquired properties and recorded a net loss during the third quarter and we sold one property in OREO and recorded a gain during the three months ended September 30, 2011.  Earnings on bank owned life insurance declined during the period because in 2011, we experienced the death of a colleague and recorded a gain on life insurance.  Fees and commissions decreased during the 2012 period primarily as a result of a decline in letters of credit and loan fees.  Service charges on deposit accounts decreased because we lowered our fees for these services and customers used fewer services.  These declines were partially offset by an increase in the gain on sales of investments and an increase in Pointer Ridge rent and other revenue. Gain on sales or calls of investment securities increased during the period, because in order to reallocate our holdings in the investment portfolio and minimize future prepayment risk, we elected to sell a higher dollar amount of securities and as a result recognized a higher gain.  Pointer Ridge rent and other revenues increased as a result of new tenants occupying vacant space in the building owned by Pointer Ridge.

Nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2011
 
Non-interest revenue totaled $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $1.0 million or 54.72% from the 2011 amount of $1.9 million.  Non-interest revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 included fee income from service charges on deposit accounts, gains on sales or calls of investment securities, earnings on bank owned life insurance, gain or losses on sales of OREO and other fees and commissions including revenues with respect to Pointer Ridge.  The primary causes of the increase in non-interest revenue were an increase in the gain on sales of investments and the acquisition of MB&T, which was supplemented by growth in legacy bank customers and services provided to both new and existing customers.  The acquisition was the major contributor to the increases in service charges and other fees and commissions during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Gain on sales or calls of investment securities increased during the period, because in order to reallocate our holdings in the investment portfolio and minimize future prepayment risk, we elected to sell a higher dollar amount of securities and as a result recognized a higher net gain.  Also contributing to the increase in non-interest revenues was an increase in gain on sales of OREO, which increased because we sold acquired properties at a higher net gain during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and had a decrease in the other than temporary impairment on equity securities charge, which decreased because in 2011 we recognized a permanent impairment of equity securities and we experienced no such impairment in 2012.  Pointer Ridge rent and other revenues increased as a result of a decline in the vacancy in the building owned by Pointer Ridge.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in earnings on bank owned life insurance, which declined for the reasons outlined above.
 
As a result of our expanded market presence, business development efforts and increased name recognition, we anticipate that we will continue to grow new and existing customer relationships.  We expect that these expanded relationships will cause service charges on deposit accounts and other fees and commissions to continue to increase during the remainder of 2012 and during 2013.  We also plan to continue to work to sell our OREO and may realize additional gains from these sales.

2011 compared to 2010
 
Non-interest revenue totaled $2.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $1.4 million or 102.76% from the 2010 amount of $1.3 million.  The increase in non-interest revenue during the period was primarily attributable to increases in service charges on deposit accounts and to a lesser extent, gains on sales or call of investment securities, and earnings on bank owned life insurance, partially offset by a $123,039 impairment on equity securities.  The primary cause of the increase in service charges on deposit accounts and in other fees and commissions, which increased slightly during the period, was the acquisition of MB&T and the resulting growth in customer services and deposits.  During the twelve month period, we sold securities and had securities called which provided the gain on sales of investment securities.  We did not have any gains, sales or calls of securities during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.  Earnings on bank owned life insurance increased because of the addition of the MB&T bank owned life insurance policies and because during the period we recorded an approximately $213,000 non-recurring gain that occurred due to the loss of a colleague during the period.  There was a $74,144 decrease in the rent and other revenue that we earn from Pointer Ridge resulting from the loss of tenants in the building that Pointer Ridge owns.  A $122,500 impairment in an equity security owned by Old Line Bank prior to the acquisition and a $539 charge off of an acquired security also partially offset the increases in non-interest revenues.  We charged the impairment against earnings because we believe that current market factors indicate these securities are permanently impaired.  The loss on disposal of assets was a result of the assets disposed of in the closure of one of the acquired MB&T branches.

2010 compared to 2009
 
Non-interest revenue declined $467,765 to $1.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 primarily because of a $286,653 decline in rent and other revenue from Pointer Ridge, a $158,551 decline in gain on sales of investment securities and a $175,490 decline in other fees and commissions.  During the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, Pointer Ridge produced $567,283 in rent and other revenue that is included in other fees and commissions.  Approximately $300,000 of that amount derived from a non-recurring lease termination fee.  During the same period in 2010, we received $280,630 in rental and other income from Pointer Ridge.  The absence of the lease termination fee in 2010 and the subsequent loss of additional tenants in the building owned by Pointer Ridge were the major causes of the decline in Pointer Ridge’s rent and other revenue.  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.  During 2010, we did not identify any compelling reasons to sell any investment securities.  Earnings on bank owned life insurance declined $39,331 as a result of a decline in the interest yield earned on the life insurance policies.  Other fees and commissions (excluding Pointer Ridge) declined $175,490 primarily because in 2010, we received $25,530 in rental income from the tenant who leased the second floor of our branch located at 301 Crain Highway, Waldorf, Maryland compared to $109,800 in 2009.  The tenant terminated his lease in March 2010.  As a result, rental income declined $84,270.  These declines were offset by a $192,724 gain on the sale of OREO.  During the fourth quarter of 2010, we ratified the sale of property that we had acquired through foreclosure in March 2010.  At the time of foreclosure, we valued the property at $223,169 and we subsequently sold the property for $425,000 less approximately $10,000 in costs.

Salaries, employee benefits, data processing, and other operating expenses decreased slightly during the period because we did not incur any severance cost as we did subsequent to the acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp and MB&T in 2011.  This was partially offset with increased costs associated with enhancements to our personnel and infrastructure that we believe will allow us to efficiently operate a larger organization and continue to expand our service and market area, which was also responsible for the increase in occupancy and equipment costs.  Merger and integration expenses decreased during the 2012 period because we completed substantially all of the activities associated with the Maryland Bankcorp merger during 2011 with the exception of the expenses associated with the two year non-compete agreements with former MB&T directors.  These decreases were partially offset by approximately $15,000 in merger costs associated with the due diligence of WSB Holdings in connection with the pending merger with WSB Holdings.  The core deposit premium decreased during the quarter because we amortize this premium on an accelerated basis which causes a reduction in the expense over the amortization period.  The increase in FDIC insurance and State of Maryland assessments was a result of an increase in the deposit base on which the premium is calculated.  Pointer Ridge other operating expense decreased because the vacancy rate in the building declined and the new tenants are paying a pro-rata share of the building’s operating expenses.

Salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing and other operating expenses increased primarily because of increased operating expenses resulting from the acquisition of MB&T and enhancements to our infrastructure.  As a result of the acquisition, we increased our number of employees by 86 and our branch network by nine. During the first three months of 2011, we did not incur these expenses. The increase in the core deposit premium was the result of the acquisition of MB&T and subsequent amortization of the core deposit intangible.  These increases were partially offset by a decline in merger and integration costs, FDIC insurance and State of Maryland assessments and Pointer Ridge other operating expenses.  Merger and integration costs declined during the 2012 period because we have completed the merger with Maryland Bankcorp and MB&T and previously expensed all costs associated with it, except for non-compete fees paid to former directors which we will continue to incur and approximately $15,000 in due diligence expense associated with the pending acquisition of WSB Holdings.  The decrease in FDIC insurance and State of Maryland assessments was a result of lower FDIC assessments as a result of the change in the base and rate calculation as required by the Dodd-Frank Act, which was partially offset by an increase in the deposit base.  Pointer Ridge other operating expense decreased because the vacancy rate in the building declined and the new tenants are paying a pro-rata share of the building’s operating expenses.
 
For the remainder of 2012, we anticipate that non-interest expenses will remain relatively comparable to those incurred during the third quarter of 2012.  Full-year 2012 non-interest expenses will exceed 2011’s expenses.  During the remainder of the year, we will continue to incur increased salary, benefits, occupancy, equipment and data processing expenses related to increased operational expenses associated with the merger of MB&T.  We have continued to focus our efforts on reducing the operating expenses and anticipate that we will continue to see reduction in these expenses from those reported since the acquisition date.  We expect, however, that we will incur increased non-interest expenses in 2013 as a result of the pending acquisition of WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank.

Salaries, employee benefits, occupancy, equipment, data processing and other operating expenses increased primarily because of increased operating expenses resulting from the acquisition of MB&T.  As a result of the acquisition, we increased our number of employees by 86 and our branch network by nine.  Employee benefits also increased approximately $183,000 as a result of a non-recurring expense payable to the estate of a colleague who passed away during the period.   Pointer Ridge other operating expense increased because of a onetime increase in management fees, the charge off of rents due from a prior tenant and increased operating expenses associated with the building.  Merger and integration costs include severance costs of approximately $203,630 and attorney, accounting, director compensation and other professional fees of approximately $218,410 associated with the acquisition of MB&T.  The increase in FDIC insurance and State of Maryland assessments was a result of the additional assets acquired from MB&T.  This increase was partially offset by the change in the FDIC assessment base and rate calculation as required by the Dodd-Frank Act.  The increase in the core deposit premium was the result of the acquisition of MB&T and subsequent amortization of the core deposit intangible.  Other operating expenses also increased because of a $221,297 increase in expenses associated with acquired and legacy OREO.
 
2010 compared to 2009
 
Non-interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 increased 23.25% or $2.2 million relative to the amount reported in 2009.  Salaries, employee benefits, occupancy, equipment, data processing expenses, and other operating expenses increased primarily because of increased operating expenses from the two branches that we opened in 2009 and the new lending team that we hired in December 2009.  Benefits also increased because of the increase in stock option and restricted stock awards granted in the first quarter of 2010.  The transfer of the ownership of OREO from the borrowers’ name to ours and maintenance of these properties caused a $72,000 increase in other operating expenses.  A $104,376 increase in director fees was also a primary contributor to the increase in other operating expenses.  Director fees increased because we increased the fees paid for participation in meetings and the retainer fee for directors in 2010. FDIC and State of Maryland assessments decreased $34,043 because there was no special assessment in 2010 while we paid a special assessment of approximately $149,000 in 2009.  This savings was offset by increased rates and higher deposit levels.  During the twelve month period, we incurred $574,369 in merger costs associated with the agreement to acquire Maryland Bankcorp for accounting, advisory, attorney, data processing and salaries.

Income Taxes
 
Three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to three months ended September 30, 2011
 
Income tax expense was $912,490 (31.25% of pre-tax income) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $737,405 (30.63% of pre-tax income) for the same period in 2011.   The dollar amount of the taxes was higher because net income was significantly higher than in the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The tax rate was higher for the three month period ended September 30, 2012, primarily because expenses that were non-deductible for tax purposes were lower than during the three months ended September 30, 2011.
 
Nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2011
 
Income tax expense was $2.7 million (32.25% of pre-tax income) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $1.7 million (34.48% of pre-tax income) for the same period in 2011.  The dollar amount of the taxes was higher because net income was significantly higher than in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The tax rate was lower for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 because during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 tax exempt income was lower and expenses that were non-deductible for tax purposes were higher than during the same period of 2011.
 
2011 compared to 2010
 
Income tax expense was $1.9 million (26.91% of pre-tax income) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $996,750 (41.08% of pre-tax income) for the same period in 2010.  The decrease in the tax rate as a percentage of pre-tax income was primarily because our continued and improved profitability subsequent to the Maryland Bankcorp merger, allowed us to record a onetime recapture of a valuation allowance recorded at the merger date which reduced income tax expense during the fourth quarter of 2011.  We also experienced an increase in tax exempt income and tax deductible expenses during the period which also decreased the tax expense.
 
2010 compared to 2009
 
Income tax expense was $996,750 (41.08% of pre-tax income) for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $1,055,522 (33.20% of pre-tax income) for the same period in 2009.  The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to certain merger expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.

Net Income Available to Common Stockholders
 
Three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to three months ended September 30, 2011
 
Net income available to common stockholders was $2.0 million or $0.30 per basic and $0.29 per diluted common share for the three month period ending September 30, 2012 compared to net income available to common stockholders of $1.7 million or $0.25 per basic and diluted common share for the same period in 2011.  The increase in net income attributable to Old Line Bancshares for the 2012 period was primarily the result of a $192,202 increase in net interest income, a $425,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses, and a $71,408 decrease in non-interest expense.  These increases were partially offset by a $175,699 decrease in non-interest revenue and a $175,085 increase in taxes.
 
Nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2011
 
Net income available to common stockholders was $5.8 million or $0.85 per basic and $0.84 per diluted common share for the nine month period ending September 30, 2012 compared to net income available to common stockholders of $3.4 million or $0.56 per basic and diluted common share for the same period in 2011.  The increase in net income attributable to Old Line Bancshares for the 2012 period was primarily the result of a $5.4 million increase in net interest income and $1.0 million increase in non-interest revenue.  These increases were partially offset by a $125,000 increase in the provision for loan losses, a $2.8 million increase in non-interest expense and a $1.0 million increase in taxes.
 
2011 compared to 2010
 
Net income available to common stockholders was $5.4 million or $0.86 per basic and diluted common share for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2011 compared to net income available to common stockholders of $1.5 million or $0.39 per basic and $0.38 per diluted common share for the same period in 2010.  The increase in net income attributable to Old Line Bancshares for the 2011 period was primarily the result of a $12.8 million increase in net interest income and a $1.4 million increase in non-interest revenue.  These increases were partially offset by a $9.5 million increase in non-interest expense, a $718,000 increase in the provision for loan losses and a $929,874 increase in taxes compared to the same period in 2010.
 
2010 compared to 2009
 
Net income attributable to Old Line Bancshares decreased $533,486 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2009.  Net income available to common stockholders for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010 of $1.5 million remained comparable to the $1.6 million reported for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009.  Earnings per basic and diluted common share were $0.39 and $0.38, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and $0.40 for the same period in 2009.  The decrease in net income attributable to Old Line Bancshares was the result of a $467,765 decrease in non-interest revenue and a $2.2 million increase in non-interest expense.  This was partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses.  As a result of our repurchase during 2009 from the U.S. Treasury the 7,000 shares of preferred stock that we issued to them as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, we eliminated the dividends associated with this stock and, as a result, net income available to common stockholders remained comparable for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
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.  With the acquisition of MB&T, we acquired approximately $262,000 of Student Loan Marketing Association (SLMA) stock.  We have prudently managed our investment portfolio to maintain liquidity and safety.  The portfolio provides a source of liquidity, collateral for borrowings as well as a means of diversifying our earning asset portfolio.  While we usually intend to hold the investment securities until maturity, currently we classify all of our investment securities as available for sale.  This classification provides us the opportunity to divest of securities that may no longer meet our liquidity objectives.  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 when 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.  As a result of the acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp, we evaluated the investment portfolio to ensure that the securities acquired in the acquisition met our investment criteria and provide adequate liquidity, and that there is adequate diversity in the investment portfolio.  We continually evaluate the investment portfolio to ensure the portfolio is adequately diversified, provides sufficient cash flow and does not subject us to undue interest rate risk.  There are no trading securities in the portfolio.

The investment securities at September 30, 2012 amounted to $180.4 million, an increase of $18.6 million, or 11.48%, from the December 31, 2011 amount of $161.8 million.  As outlined above, at September 30, 2012, all securities are classified as available for sale.  The fair value of available for sale securities included net unrealized gains of $5.3 million at September 30, 2012 (reflected as unrealized gains of $3.2 million in stockholders’ equity after deferred taxes) as compared to net unrealized gains of $3.9 million ($2.4 million net of taxes) as of December 31, 2011.  In general, the increase in fair value was a result of changes in the duration or maturity of the portfolio and decreasing 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, any unrealized losses in the portfolio will decline or dissipate.
 
The investment securities at December 31, 2011 amounted to $161.8 million, an increase of $107.0 million, or 195.25%, from the December 31, 2010 amount of $54.7 million.  As outlined above, at December 31, 2011, all securities were classified as available for sale.
 
The fair value of available for sale securities included net unrealized gains of $3.5 million at December 31, 2011 (reflected as unrealized gains of $2.4 million in stockholders’ equity after deferred taxes) as compared to net unrealized gains of $450,758 ($272,956 net of taxes) as of December 31, 2010.  In general, the increase in fair value was a result of the acquisition of MB&T, changes in time to maturity and decreasing 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.
 
The investment securities at December 31, 2010 amounted to $54.9 million, an increase of $21.1million, or 62.43%, from the December 31, 2009 amount of $33.8 million.  Available for sale investment securities increased to $33.0 million at December 31, 2010 from $28.0 million at December 31, 2009.  The increase in the available for sale investment securities occurred primarily because we moved funds from time deposits in other banks in order to increase the yield on these investments while maintaining liquidity.  Held to maturity securities at December 31, 2010 increased to $21.7 million from the $5.8 million balance on December 31, 2009 because we had sufficient liquidity that when available for sale securities or time deposits matured we elected to categorize the newly purchased investments as held to maturity.  The fair value of available for sale securities included net unrealized gains of $450,758 at December 31, 2010 (reflected as unrealized gains of $272,956 in stockholders’ equity after deferred taxes) as compared to net unrealized gains of $609,165 ($368,880 net of taxes) as of December 31, 2009.  In general, the increase in fair value was the result of decreasing market rates.

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 and Old Line Bank, controls 12.50% of Pointer Ridge and controls the manager of Pointer Ridge.
 
Loan Portfolio
 
Commercial loans and loans secured by real estate comprise the majority of the loan portfolio.  Old Line Bank’s loan customers are generally located in the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
 
At our acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp, we recorded all loans acquired at the estimated fair value on their purchase date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan and lease losses.  On the acquisition date, we segregated the loan portfolio into two loan pools, performing and non-performing.

We had an independent third party determine the price that we could receive to sell approximately 1,400 performing loans totaling $178.1 million in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date (fair value).  These performing loans were segregated into five individual pools, personal loans, credit lines, business loans and real estate loans.  This valuation also assumed that the sale occurred in the principal or most advantageous market for the loan.  Market participants were assumed to have reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts of the asset or liability as it relates to its value between buyers and sellers with neither under any compulsion to buy, sell or liquidate.  The effect of this fair valuation process was a net premium of $3.1 million at acquisition.  We then adjusted these values on a level yield basis for inherent credit risk within each pool which resulted in a total non-accretable credit adjustment of $2.0 million.  During the valuation process, we also determined that eight business loans totaling $1.8 million and 13 real estate loans totaling $3.8 million, all of which were risk rated four at the acquisition date, were also impaired and required an additional non-accretable credit adjustment of $279,348 and $510,064, respectively.

We also individually evaluated nine impaired business loans totaling $536,144 and 53 real estate loans totaling $30.1 million to determine the fair value as of the April 1, 2011 measurement date.  In determining the fair value for each individually evaluated impaired loan, we considered a number of factors including the remaining life of the acquired loans, estimated prepayments, estimated loss ratios, estimated value of the underlying collateral and net present value of cash flows we expect to receive, among others.  As required, we accounted for these acquired loans in accordance with guidance for certain loans acquired in a transfer when the loans have evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that the acquirer will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments.  The difference between contractually required payments and cash flows we expect to collect is the non-accretable difference.  Subsequent negative differences to the expected cash flows will generally result in an increase in the non-accretable difference which would increase our provision expense and decrease net interest income after provision expense.  Subsequent collection of payments on these loans that exceeds our expected cash flows will cause an increase in cash flows that will result in a reduction to the non-accretable difference, which would increase interest revenue.

In general, for the impaired business loans, we determined that the fair value was equivalent to the current contract value adjusted for credit impairment.  We estimated this credit impairment based on the prior portfolio experience, repayment history of the individual loan, strength of the guarantor(s) and other factors.  We applied this adjustment on a level yield basis to the respective pools of loans.  Subsequent negative differences to the expected cash flows will generally result in an increase in the non-accretable difference which would increase our provision expense and decrease net interest income after provision expense.   Subsequent collection of payments on these loans that exceeds our expected cash flows will cause an increase in cash flows that will result in a reduction to the non-accretable difference, which would increase interest revenue.  In specific instances, we determined that the loan had no value due to its prior prepayment history, lack of collateral or other factors.  In these cases, we accrete any payments received to interest income.

In general, for the impaired real estate loans, we determined that the fair value was equivalent to our cash flow expectations related to the sale of the loan or the underlying collateral.  In order to determine the fair value, we estimated the value of the underlying collateral based on appraisals, evaluations, site visits and tax assessments.  We then determined the estimated expenses to foreclose on the property and subsequently sell it.  We then determined the fair value of the loan using a discounted cash flow calculation.  We evaluate these loans quarterly to ensure that in no instances does the carrying value of the loan exceed our initial investment or that there is no decrease or increase in our expectations regarding cash flows.  Subsequent negative differences to the expected cash flows will generally result in an increase in the non-accretable difference which would increase our provision expense and decrease net interest income after provision expense.   Subsequent collection of payments on these loans that exceeds our expected cash flows will cause an increase in cash flows that will result in a reduction to the non-accretable difference, which would increase interest revenue.  In specific instances, we determined that the loan had no value due to its prior payment history, lack of collateral or other factors.  In these cases, we reclass any payments received to accretable yield and accrete these payments to income.  We also reclass amounts to accretable yield when we receive payment in full on a loan.

The loan portfolio, net of allowance, unearned fees and origination costs, increased $33.8 million or 6.28% to $573.1 million at September 30, 2012 from $539.3 million at December 31, 2011.  Commercial business loans decreased by $11.2 million (10.44%), commercial real estate loans increased by $51.3 million (18.79%), residential real estate loans decreased by $4.7 million (4.89%), real estate construction loans (primarily commercial real estate construction) increased by $435,082 (0.84%) and consumer loans decreased by $1.4 million (11.65%) from their respective balances at December 31, 2011.  During the three month period ended September 30, 2012, loan growth was weaker than normal because we received approximately $20 million in payoffs in loans during the period which was approximately equivalent to the dollar amount of new loans generated during the period.  The loan growth during the nine month period was a direct result of our business development efforts as well as our enhanced presence in our market area.  We saw loan and deposit growth generated from our entire team of lenders, branch personnel and board of directors.  We anticipate the entire team will continue to focus their efforts on business development during the remainder of 2012 and during 2013 and continue to grow the loan portfolio.  However, the current economic climate may cause slower loan growth.

The loan portfolio, net of allowance, unearned fees and origination costs, increased $239.7 million or 80.01% to $539.3 million at December 31, 2011 from $299.6 million at December 31, 2010.  Commercial business loans increased by $23.6 million (28.26%), commercial real estate loans increased by $119.6 million (77.92%), residential real estate loans increased by $69.6 million (256.83%), real estate construction loans (primarily commercial real estate construction and acquisition and development) increased by $27.3 million (111.89%) and consumer loans increased by $594 thousand (4.54%) from their respective balances at December 31, 2010.  During the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, we received scheduled loan payoffs on construction loans that negatively impacted our loan growth for the period.  The $190.8 million of acquired loans were the primary cause of growth during the period although we also experienced an approximately $50.0 million growth in loans as a result of business development efforts.
 
The loan portfolio, net of allowance, unearned fees and origination costs, increased $34.6 million or 13.06% to $299.6 million at December 31, 2010 from $265.0 million at December 31, 2009.  Commercial business loans increased by $9.3 million (12.53%), commercial real estate loans increased by $29.5 million (23.79%), residential real estate loans (generally home equity and fixed rate home improvement loans) increased by $3.7 million (15.81%), real estate construction loans (primarily commercial real estate construction) decreased by $6.5 million (21.04%) and consumer loans decreased by $1.5 million (10.27%) from their respective balances at December 31, 2009.
 
During 2010, 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 13.06% growth in the loan portfolio.  We saw loan and deposit growth generated from our entire team of lenders, branch personnel and board of directors.

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.
 
Management has identified additional potential problem loans totaling $13.2 million that are complying with their repayment terms at September 30, 2012.  At December 31, 2011, in addition to the two non-accrual legacy loans and 17 non-accrual acquired loans, there were four legacy loans totaling $744,610 and 22 acquired loans totaling $839,274 that were 30-89 days past due, and one legacy loan past due 90 days or more in the amount of $34,370.  Management identified as of December 31, 2011 an additional 12 potential problem loans totaling $8.6 million.  Management has concerns either about the ability of the borrower 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.
 
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.
 
At September 30, 2012, we had two consumer loans past due 90 or more days, with loans totaling $83,550 that we have not classified as non-accrual.  The borrower on the first loan in the amount of $81,486 continues to pay the loan payments on a monthly basis.  We are currently in process of restructuring this loan.  The second loan is a credit card in the amount of $2,307 that we charged off in the fourth quarter. We do not anticipate that we will incur losses on these loans.
 
At September 30, 2012, we had six non-accrual legacy loans with a total balance of $3.2 million compared to two legacy loans totaling $1.2 million at December 31, 2011.  At September 30, 2012, we also had a total of $2.3 million of legacy loans past due 30-89 days.
 
At September 30, 2012, we had 27 non-accrual acquired loans totaling $5.1 million compared to 17 non-accrual acquired loans totaling $4.6 million at December 31, 2011.  At September 30, 2012, we also had a total of $24,355 acquired loans on accrual status 30-89 days past due
 
As noted above in the provision for loan losses discussion, at December 31, 2010, we had three loans totaling $2.7 million that were 90 days past due and were classified as non-accrual.  This compares to three loans in the amount of $1.6 million at December 31, 2009 which were 90 days past due and were classified as non-accrual.

Non-Accrual Legacy Loans and Legacy Other Real Estate Owned
 
At September 30, 2012, we had six non-accrual legacy loans with a total recorded book balance of $3.2 million.  The first non-accrual legacy loan is a residential land acquisition and development loan secured by real estate.  The borrower and guarantor on this loan have filed bankruptcy.  During the first quarter of 2011, we charged $446,980 to the allowance for loan losses and reduced the balance on this loan from $1,616,317 to $1,169,337.  We subsequently identified a potential buyer for this note who had agreed to purchase it at a price slightly lower than the carrying value.  In October of 2011, the prospective purchaser of the promissory note rescinded his offer.  In February 2012, we sold at foreclosure the property that secured the promissory note on this loan and expected to receive ratification of the foreclosure and proceeds from the sale of approximately $970,000 during the first quarter of 2012.  Therefore, during the first quarter of 2012, we charged an additional $200,000 to the allowance for loan losses to properly reflect the net sales proceeds that we expected to receive.  At September 30, 2012, the balance on this loan was $969,337 and the non-accrued interest was $295,523, none of which was included in interest income.  The courts rejected the initial foreclosure.  We have subsequently re-foreclosed on the property and received ratification of the sale in the third quarter and are currently waiting for approval of the audit from the courts and expect to complete settlement of the sale of the property in the fourth quarter of 2012.
 
The second non-accrual legacy loan is a commercial real estate loan in the amount of $464,978.  The original purpose of this loan was to purchase a building for use as a fast food franchise.  The borrower on this loan executed a lease on land on which the building that secures this loan was built.  The borrower has closed this facility and has no other available assets.  We transferred this loan to non-accrual status during the first quarter of 2012.  We are currently in negotiations with the landlord of the land and the borrower.  We have received an appraisal that indicates the value of our interest in the property is higher than our loan balance.  At this point, we are unable to ascertain the potential loss on this loan.  We have allocated $232,489 of the allowance for loan losses for this loan.  The non-accrued interest on this loan is $20,082.

The third non-accrual legacy loan is a commercial real estate loan in the amount of $886,735.  The borrower’s business has insufficient cash flow to make payments on this loan.  We also transferred this loan to non-accrual status during the first quarter of 2012.  A current appraisal indicates that the value of the real estate that is the collateral for this loan is sufficient to provide payment in full.  We have not allocated any of the allowance for loan losses for this loan.  The non-accrued interest on this loan is $44,948.
 
During the third quarter of 2012, we transferred a legacy commercial real estate loan in the amount of $352,478 to non-accrual status.  The borrower is delinquent with payments and would not provide current financial information.  A current appraisal indicates that the value of the real estate that is collateral for this loan is sufficient to provide payment in full and we expect to foreclose on this property.  We have not allocated any of the allowance for loan losses for this loan.  The non-accrued interest on this loan is $26,654.
 
During the third quarter of 2012, we also transferred a legacy residential real estate loan in the amount of $469,168 to non-accrual status.  The borrower is delinquent with payments and is experiencing financial difficulties.  A current appraisal indicates that the value of the real estate that is collateral for this loan is sufficient to provide payment in full and we plan to foreclose on this property.  We have not allocated any of the allowance for loan losses for this loan.  The non-accrued interest on this loan is $26,645.
 
The third loan that we transferred to non-accrual status in the third quarter is a commercial loan in the amount of $8,819.  The borrower is experiencing cash flow problems.  We have not allocated any of the allowance for loan losses to this loan.  The non-accrued interest on this loan is $110.
 
At December 31, 2011, we had two non-accrual legacy loans totaling $1,247,312 past due and classified as non-accrual.  The first loan in the amount of $1,169,337 is a residential land acquisition and development loan secured by real estate and described above.  At December 31, 2011, the non-accrued interest on this loan was $212,484, none of which was included in interest income.
 
The second loan was a commercial loan secured by a blanket lien on the borrower’s assets and a second deed of trust on the guarantors’ personal residence.  The borrower has ceased operations and the collateral has no value.  In the first quarter of 2012, we charged the entire balance due to the allowance for loan losses and have filed a judgment against the guarantors.  At December 31, 2011, we had allocated the entire loan balance to the allowance for loan losses.
 
At December 31, 2010, we had three loans totaling $2,710,619 past due and classified as non-accrual.  The first loan in the amount of $810,291 is the same loan that we previously reported in our December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 financial statements.  At December 31, 2010, we had obtained a “lift stay” on the property and were awaiting ratification of foreclosure.  We received this ratification in January 2011 and transferred this property to OREO.  At December 31, 2010, the non-accrued interest on this loan was $212,937.
 
The second loan in the amount of $1,616,317 is the residential acquisition and development loan secured by real estate discussed above.  At December 31, 2010, we considered this loan impaired and had allocated $450,000 of the allowance for loan losses to this loan.  At December 31, 2010, the interest not accrued on this loan was $101,867.
 
The third loan at December 31, 2010 was a luxury boat loan in the amount of $284,011.  The borrower on this loan has also filed bankruptcy.  At December 31, 2010, the interest not accrued on this loan was $3,728.  During the first quarter of 2011, we repossessed the boat, charged $47,261 to the allowance for loan losses and recorded the remaining balance of $236,750 as repossessed property in other assets.  During the fourth quarter of 2011, we sold this boat and recorded a loss in other operating expense of $120,741 on the sale.
 
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.  During 2009, we received $40,384 in payments on this loan and the balance was $810,291.  In October 2009, the borrower re-entered bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.  As outlined above, in 2010, we obtained a “lift stay” on the commercial property that secures this loan and proceeded with foreclosure.

Non-Accrual Acquired Loans and Other Real Estate Owned
 
At September 30, 2012, we had 27 non-accrual acquired loans totaling $5.0 million compared to 26 non-accrual acquired loans totaling $4.6 million at December 31, 2011.  Of these, the borrowers on 14 loans totaling $1.7 million are current according to their contractual terms and are generally making monthly payments, albeit in a slow manner.  The loans were placed on non-accrual by MB&T because of their slow payment history and/or the industry was significantly impacted by the weaknesses in the economy.
 
At December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012, we had two borrowers owned by the same individual who had four loans totaling $775,000.  The borrower paid the fair value of these four loans during the first quarter of 2012 and there is no balance remaining in non-accrual.  However, there is still a contractual amount remaining on these loans.   We continue to work with the borrower for full repayment of the contractual amount.
 
At December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012, we had one borrower with one note secured by commercial real estate and the fair value of the loan is $300,000.  We plan to foreclose on this property during the fourth quarter of 2012.  The fair value is equivalent to our assessment of the current value of the real estate less any carrying costs or expenses to sell.
 
At December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012, we had one borrower with a loan secured by commercial real estate and the fair value of the loan is $250,000.  The borrower has filed a new bankruptcy plan and we are receiving payments from the bankruptcy court.  The fair value is equivalent to our assessment of the current value of the real estate less any carrying costs or expenses to sell.
 
At December 31, 2011, we had a loan in the amount of $347,474 that was transferred to non-accrual during the fourth quarter of 2011.  Commercial real estate secures this loan and the fair value of the loan, as of September 30, 2012, is $316,973.  We were awarded a confess judgment against the borrower and are working towards foreclosure of the property.  The fair value is equivalent to our assessment of the current value of the real estate less any carrying cost or expenses to sell.
 
We transferred another loan to non-accrual status during the fourth quarter of 2011.  This loan was unsecured and the fair value of the loan was $47,635.  We charged this loan to the allowance for loan losses during the first quarter of 2012.
 
During the first quarter of 2012, we transferred three acquired loans totaling $1.2 million for two borrowers to non-accrual status.  The first acquired loan is to one borrower who had two loans totaling $936,243.  This borrower is the same borrower discussed above in the legacy non-accrual loans.  The original purpose of the loans was to purchase and equip a building for use as a fast food franchise.  The borrower on these loans executed a lease on land on which the building that secures this loan was built.  The borrower has closed this facility and has no other available assets.  We have completed negotiations with the landlord and are attempting to locate a tenant to occupy this facility. We have received an appraisal that indicates the value of our interest is greater than the book value of the loan.  At this point, we are unable to ascertain the potential loss on this loan.  We have allocated $578,243 of the allowance for loan losses for these loans.  The non-accrued interest on these loans is $63,464.
 
The borrower on the third loan transferred during the first quarter of 2012 to non-accrual status is a loan secured by commercial real estate and four residential lots with a fair value of $241,624.  This loan has matured. We are in litigation with the borrower.  Assuming we prevail in litigation, we anticipate we will receive payment in full either by foreclosing on the collateral and selling the properties or through receipt of payment from the borrower. The non-accrued interest on this loan is $40,284
 
 
 
 
 
185

 
 
During the second quarter of 2012, we transferred an acquired loan in the amount of $23,669 to non-accrual status.  The borrower has filed for bankruptcy and we have charged this loan off.
 
During the third quarter of 2012, we transferred an acquired loan in the amount of $1.0 million to non-accrual status.  The borrower on this loan is experiencing marital and financial difficulties.  A residential property is collateral on this loan.  Unless the borrower resolves these problems, we anticipate we will foreclose on this loan.  We are currently in the process of obtaining an appraisal of the property and have not allocated any of the allowance for loan loss.  The non-accrued interest on this loan is $27,440.
 
We classify any property acquired as a result of foreclosure on a mortgage loan as “other real estate owned” and record it at the lower of the unpaid principal balance or fair value at the date of acquisition and subsequently carry the property 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 generally on an annual basis and external inspections on at least a quarterly basis.
 
As required by ASC Topic 310- Receivables and ASC Topic 450- Contingencies , we measure all impaired loans, which consist of all modified loans (TDRs) 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 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.
 
At December 31, 2011, we had four legacy accruing TDRs totaling $5.2 million and two acquired TDRs totaling $154,088.  Three of the legacy accruing TDRs became TDRs during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011.  Two of these legacy TDRs were the result of providing the borrower with payment of interest only for a period of time at the end of which they would return to their original contractually required payments.  One of the TDRs was the result of reduction in the interest rate assessed on the loan.  The acquired TDRs occurred as a result of the acquisition of MB&T on April 1, 2011, and were both provided deferrals by MB&T.
 
At September 30, 2012, we had one legacy TDR totaling $499,122. During the nine month period, we received payment in full on one TDR totaling $282,862.  Two TDRs totaling $4.4 million had returned to their contractually required payments of principal and interest. The borrower had paid as agreed for nine months and we removed them from TDR status.  We received payments of $1,150 on the acquired TDRs during the nine month period.  There were no other changes to TDRs for the nine month period.
 
We factor our TDRs into our allowance for loan losses by individually evaluating each TDR for impairment and including any required amounts in the respective portfolio’s segment for the allowance for loan losses.  At December 31, 2011, $334,137 of the allowance for loan losses was attributed to TDRs.  As a result of the reduction in TDRs at September 30, 2012, we had reduced the allocation for TDRs included in the allowance for loan losses to $25,000.
 
Tables presenting a breakdown of the aging analysis of loans as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are included in Note 5 to our unaudited financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2012.

Generally accepted accounting principles require that we record acquired loans at fair value which includes a discount for loans with credit impairment.  These loans are not performing according to their contractual terms and meet our definition of an impaired loan.  The discounts that arise from recording these loans at fair value were due to credit quality.  Although we do not accrue interest income at the contractual rate on these loans, we may accrete these discounts to interest income as a result of pre-payments that exceeds our cash flow expectations or payment in full of amounts due even though we classify them as non-accrual.

We consider all non-performing loans and TDRs impaired.  We do not recognize interest income on non-performing loans during the time period that the loans are non-performing on either a cash or accrual basis.  We only recognize interest income on non-performing loans when we receive payment in full for all amounts due of all contractually required principal and interest and the loan is current with its contractual terms.  The accrued interest on impaired loans was immaterial.

Bank owned life insurance
 
We have invested $16.8 million in life insurance policies on our executive officers, other officers of the Bank, and retired officers of MB&T.  We anticipate the earnings on these policies will contribute to 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 as well as that MB&T had entered into with its executive officers.  During the first nine months of 2012, the cash surrender value of the insurance policies increased by $341,141 as a result of earnings on these policies.  There are no post retirement death benefits associated with the BOLI policies owned by Old Line Bank prior to the acquisition of MB&T.  We have accrued a $219,439 liability associated with the post retirement death benefits of the BOLI policies acquired from MB&T.
 
Prepaid Pension
 
MB&T had an employee pension plan (MB&T Pension Plan) that was frozen on June 9, 2003 and no additional benefits accrued subsequent to that date.  We have notified all plan participants that we have terminated this plan effective August 1, 2011.  We have liquidated the securities in the plan and on October 1, 2012 completed the distribution of all plan assets.  During the fourth quarter, we completed the transfer of the excess plan assets of approximately $200,000 to the Old Line Bank 401-K plan and recorded a 401-K expense of approximately $200,000 to record this transfer.  In the fourth quarter, we have also recorded a pension expense of approximately $800,000 and recorded a reduction of approximately $400,000 to the deferred tax liability associated with the pension obligation.   Additional information related to the status of this plan can be found in Note 15 of our audited financial statements.
Other Real Estate Owned
 
As a result of the acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp, we have segmented the OREO into two components, real estate obtained as a result of loans originated by Old Line Bank (legacy) and other real estate acquired from MB&T or obtained as a result of loans originated by MB&T (acquired).  We are currently aggressively either marketing these properties for sale or improving them in preparation for sale.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we sold seven properties and recorded gains on these sales of $110,704.  The following outlines the transactions recorded on OREO during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Goodwill
 
During the second quarter of 2011, we recorded goodwill of $116,723 associated with the acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp.  This amount represented the difference between the estimated fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at acquisition date.  During the third quarter of 2011, the goodwill increased $25,000 as a result of additional liabilities that we identified during the period.  During the fourth quarter of 2011, we received a valuation of the pension plan asset at acquisition date and at December 31, 2011.  As a result of this valuation, in the fourth quarter of 2011, we recorded a $492,067 increase to goodwill to reflect the costs incurred by the pension plan as of the acquisition date.  During the third quarter of 2012, we evaluated goodwill for impairment as required by the accounting guidance and there was no impairment.
 
Core Deposit Intangible
 
As a result of the acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp, during the second quarter of 2011, we recorded a core deposit intangible of $5.0 million.  This amount represented the premium that we paid to acquire MB&T’s core deposits over the fair value of such deposits.  We will amortize the core deposit intangible on an accelerated basis over its estimated useful life of 18 years.  The core deposit intangible was $3.9 million at September 30, 2012 and $4.4 million at December 31, 2011.

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 September 30, 2012, the deposit portfolio had increased to $731.1 million, a $40.3 million or 5.84% increase over the December 31, 2011 level of $690.8 million.  Non-interest bearing deposits increased $15.2 million during the period to $185.3 million from $170.1 million primarily because we established new relationships during the period and expanded upon existing ones.  Interest-bearing deposits rose $25.1 million to $545.7 million from $520.6 million.  The increase in interest bearing deposits was primarily the result of increased depository relationships with local municipalities and state organizations, with the vast majority placed in reciprocal deposits obtained through the Promontory Interfinancial Network.
 
We acquire brokered certificate of deposits through the Promontory Interfinancial Network (Promontory).  Through this deposit matching network and its certificate of deposit account registry service (CDARS) and money market account service, we have the ability to offer our customers access to FDIC insured deposit products in aggregate amounts exceeding current insurance limits.  When we place funds through Promontory 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 September 30, 2012, we had $53.0 million in CDARS and $63.5 million in money market accounts through Promontory’s reciprocal deposit program compared to $24.8 million and $14.1 million, respectively, at December 31, 2011 and $21.1 million and $5.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010.  At September 30, 2012, we had received $30.2 million in deposits through the Promontory network that were not reciprocal deposits compared to $52.0 million at December 31, 2011.  We had no other brokered certificates of deposit as of September 30, 2012, December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  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.

At December 31, 2011, the deposit portfolio had grown to $690.8 million, a $350.3 million or 102.88% increase over the December 31, 2010 level of $340.5 million.  Non-interest bearing deposits increased $102.6 million during the period to $170.1 million from $67.5 million primarily due to the acquisition of MB&T, the establishment of new customer demand deposit accounts and expansion of existing demand deposit accounts.  Interest-bearing deposits grew $247.6 million to $520.6 million from $273.0 million.  The growth in interest bearing deposits was the result of the acquisition of MB&T, expansion of existing customer relationships and new customers.
 
At December 31, 2010, the deposit portfolio had grown to $340.5 million, a $54.2 million or an 18.93% increase over the December 31, 2009 level of $286.3 million.  Non-interest bearing deposits increased $26.6 million during the period to $67.5 million from $40.9 million primarily due to the establishment of new customer demand deposit accounts and expansion of existing demand deposit accounts.  Interest bearing deposits grew $27.5 million to $273.0 million from $245.5 million.  Approximately $27.5 million of the increase was in money market accounts and $1.9 million was in savings accounts.  These increases were offset by a $1.9 million decrease in certificates of deposit.  The growth in these categories was the result of expansion of existing customer relationships, the new money market accounts provided through Promontory as discussed above and new customers.

Borrowings
 
Old Line Bancshares has available a $3.0 million unsecured line of credit.  Old Line Bank has available lines of credit, including overnight federal funds and repurchase agreements from its correspondent banks totaling $24.5 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  Old Line Bank has an additional secured line of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) of $241.7 million at September 30, 2012.  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 $88.8 million of borrowings.  Of this, we had borrowed $10.0 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  We may increase availability by providing additional collateral.
 
Short-term borrowings consisted of short-term promissory notes issued to Old Line Bank’s customers.  Old Line Bank offers its commercial customers an enhancement to the basic non-interest bearing demand deposit account. This service electronically sweeps excess funds from the customer’s account into a short term promissory note with Old Line Bank.  These obligations are payable on demand, are secured by investments or are unsecured, re-price daily and have maturities of one to 270 days.  At December 31, 2011, Old Line Bank had $7.7 million outstanding in these short term unsecured promissory notes with an average interest rate of 0.20% and $20.9 million outstanding in secured promissory notes with an average interest rate of 0.50%.  We recorded these secured promissory notes with the acquisition of MB&T.  At September 30, 2012, Old Line Bank had $7.9 million outstanding in short term unsecured promissory notes with an average interest rate of 0.20% and $26.6 million in secured promissory notes with an average interest rate of 0.40%.  At December 31, 2011, Old Line Bank had $7.7 million outstanding in these short term unsecured promissory notes with an average interest rate of 0.20% and $20.9 million outstanding in secured promissory notes with an average interest rate of 0.50%.  We recorded these secured promissory notes with the acquisition of MB&T.  At December 31, 2010, Old Line Bank had $5.7 million outstanding with an average interest rate of 0.50%.

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and 2010, Old Line Bank had two advances in the amount of $5.0 million each, from the FHLB totaling $10.0 million.
 
On December 12, 2007, Old Line Bank borrowed $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 three (3) month LIBOR.  The maturity date on this advance was 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 matured on December 19, 2012.

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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Pointer Ridge had borrowed $6.2 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.

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.
 
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.  Management makes adjustments to the mix of assets and liabilities 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 positive gap occurs when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities.  A negative gap occurs when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets.  During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap tends to adversely affect net interest income, while a positive gap tends to result in an increase in net interest income.  During a period of declining interest rates, a negative gap tends to result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive gap tends 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 positive gap over the short term, which suggests that the net yield on interest earning assets may increase 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.

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.  As outlined in the Borrowings discussion of this section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, we have credit lines, unsecured and secured, available from several correspondent banks totaling $27.5 million.  Additionally, we may borrow funds from the FHLB 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 available for sale investment securities or pledge investment securities as collateral 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 September 30, 2012, we had $43.8 million in cash and due from banks, $26,137 in interest bearing accounts, and $908,495 in federal funds sold.  As of December 31, 2011, we had $43.3 million in cash and due from banks, $119,235 in interest bearing accounts and $83,114 in federal funds sold.  As of December 31, 2010, we had $14.3 million in cash and due from banks, $109,170 in interest bearing accounts, $180,536 in federal funds sold and other overnight investments and $297,000 in time deposits in other banks.
 
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.
 
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 there is turmoil in the financial markets or our depositors lose confidence in us, we could experience liquidity issues.
 
Capital
 
Our stockholders’ equity amounted to $74.4 million at September 30, 2012, $68.5 million at December 31, 2011 and $37.7 million at December 31, 2010.  We are considered “well capitalized” under the risk-based capital guidelines adopted by the Federal Reserve.  Stockholders’ equity increased during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 primarily because of net income available to common stockholders of $5.8 million, the $782,034 after tax unrealized gains on available for sale securities, the $135,381 adjustment for stock based compensation awards, and $23,132 in proceeds from stock options exercised. These items were partially offset by the $819,512 common stock cash dividend.  Stockholders’ equity increased during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011 primarily because of the capital received in the acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp of $17.8 million, the $6.3 million in capital received in the private placement in January of 2011, net income attributable to Old Line Bancshares of $5.4 million, the $132,661 adjustment for stock based compensation awards, the $40,788 received from stock options exercised and the $2.1 million after tax unrealized gain on available for sale securities.  These items were partially offset by the $821,497 common stock cash dividend and the $22,340 unrealized loss on the pension fund.
 
The following table shows Old Line Bancshares’ 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 “Business of Old Line Bank – Supervision and Regulation – Capital Adequacy Guidelines.”

Contractual Obligations, Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, and Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
 
Old Line Bancshares is a 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.  Old Line Bancshares uses these financial instruments to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk.  These commitments do not represent unusual risks and management does not anticipate any losses which would have a material effect on Old Line Bancshares.  Old Line Bancshares also has operating lease obligations.

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.  Old Line Bancshares generally requires collateral to support financial instruments with credit risk on the same basis as it does for on balance sheet instruments. The collateral is based on management's 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 many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, and since it is unlikely that all 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. We regularly reevaluate many of our commitments to extend credit.  Because we conservatively underwrite these facilities at inception, we generally do not have 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 $32.2 million, or 35.16% of the $91.6 million of outstanding commitments at September 30, 2012 and $21.4 million, or 26.23% of the $81.6 million at December 31, 2011, 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 non-performance 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, 2011 significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations to third parties by payment date.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
 
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 a price index.  As discussed above, we strive to manage our interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to offset the effects of rate changes and inflation.
 
 
 
201

 
 
 
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 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 “ Results of Operations – Provision for Loan Losses.”
 
New Authoritative Accounting Guidance
 
Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) No. 2009-16, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic- 860)-Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” 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.  ASU 2009-16 also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvement with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period.  The provisions of ASU 2009-16 became effective on January 1, 2010 and did not have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
 
ASU No. 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810)-Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities” amends prior guidance to change how a company determines when an entity that is sufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated.  The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is 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.  ASU 2009-17 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 affect on the entity’s financial statements.  As further discussed below, ASU No. 2010-10, “Consolidations (Topic 810),” deferred the effective date of ASU 2009-17 for a reporting entity’s interests in investment companies.  The provisions of ASU 2009-17 became effective on January 1, 2010 and they did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
 
ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)-Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements” requires expanded disclosures related to fair value measurements including (i) the amounts of significant transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for the transfers, (ii) the reasons for transfers of assets or liabilities in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, with significant transfers disclosed separately, (iii) the policy for determining when transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized and (iv) for recurring fair value measurements of assets and liabilities in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, a gross presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements.  ASU 2010-06 further clarifies that (i) companies should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities (rather than major category), which would generally be a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position and (ii) companies should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements for each class of assets and liabilities included in Levels 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  ASU No. 2010-06 requires the disclosures related to the gross presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy beginning January 1, 2011.  The remaining disclosure requirements and clarifications made by ASU 2010-06 became effective on January 1, 2010.  See Notes 2-Acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp, Inc. and 18-Fair Value Measures, to our consolidated financial statements.
 
ASU No. 2010-10, “Consolidations (Topic 810)-Amendments for Certain Investment Funds” defers the effective date of the amendments to the consolidation requirements made by ASU 2009-17 to a company’s interest in an entity (i) that has all of the attributes of an investment company, as specified under ASC Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies,” or (ii) for which it is industry practice to apply measurement principles of financial reporting that are consistent with those in ASC Topic 946.  As a result of the deferral, companies are not required to apply the ASU 2009-17 amendments to the Subtopic 810-10 consolidation requirements to its interest in an entity that meets the criteria to qualify for the deferral.  ASU 2010-10 also clarifies that any interest held by a related party should be treated as though it is an entity’s own interest when evaluating the criteria for determining whether such interest represents a variable interest.  ASU 2010-10 also clarifies that companies should not use a quantitative calculation as the sole basis for evaluating whether a decision maker’s or service provider’s fee is variable interest.  The provisions of ASU 2010-10 became effective as of January 1, 2010 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

ASU No. 2010-29 “Business Combinations (Topic 805) Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations” contains amendments that specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only.  ASU 2010-29 also expands supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 350 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, non-recurring  pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in reported pro forma revenue and earnings.  ASU 2010-29 became effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for the impact on our consolidated financial statements and results of operations.

Employment Agreements
 
Old Line Bank has entered into employment agreements with each of James W. Cornelsen, Joseph W. Burnett and Christine M. Rush.
 
On January 28, 2011, Old Line Bank entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Cornelsen (replacing a 2003 agreement) to serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Old Line Bank and Old Line Bancshares.  This agreement provides for an initial term of four years which may be extended by the board of directors, in its sole discretion, for one additional year or such greater term as the board of directors deems appropriate.  The board of directors has extended the term of Mr. Cornelsen’s then existing employment agreement by one additional year in each December or January subsequent to execution of the 2003 agreement.  Mr. Cornelsen’s employment agreement is currently set to expire in March 2016.
 
 
 
212

 
 
 
Mr. Cornelsen’s agreement, as amended, provides for an annual salary of $318,000, subject to annual review and increase at the board of directors’ discretion.  Mr. Cornelsen may also receive an annual bonus to be determined by the board of directors.  In addition, Mr. Cornelsen is entitled to receive an annual grant of options to purchase at least 3,750 shares of common stock of Old Line Bancshares, assuming such options are available for grant under a stockholder approved stock option plan.  The agreement also provides that Mr. Cornelsen will not be compensated for his attendance at board of directors’ meetings and that he is entitled to an automobile provided by Old Line Bank and to participate in such other bonus, incentive and other executive compensation programs as are made available to senior management of Old Line Bank from time to time.
 
The agreement terminates upon Mr. Cornelsen’s death or by mutual written agreement.  In addition, Mr. Cornelsen may terminate the agreement within six months following (or in certain circumstances, in anticipation of) a “change in control,” as described below, or for good reason as defined in the agreement.  Old Line Bank may terminate the agreement for certain events constituting cause as defined in the agreement.  Either party may also terminate the agreement without cause or good reason or upon Mr. Cornelsen’s permanent disability provided that such party provides 60 days prior written notice to the other party.
 
If Mr. Cornelsen terminates the agreement for good reason or because of his permanent disability, or if Old Line Bank terminates Mr. Cornelsen’s employment agreement without cause or because of permanent disability, and a change in control has not occurred, Mr. Cornelsen will receive severance pay for the remaining term of the agreement in an amount equal to his average annual compensation over the prior five years.  Mr. Cornelsen is not entitled to any severance pay under the agreement if he terminates the agreement without good reason.
 
If Mr. Cornelsen is terminated or terminates his employment in anticipation of or within six months following a change in control, he is entitled to a single payment equal to 2.99 times his average annual compensation over the prior five years, minus any other payments he receives that are contingent on the change in control.   If the change in control payments were required to be paid in 2011, Mr. Cornelsen would have received approximately $816,046.
 
Pursuant to the employment agreement, a “change in control” will occur if:
 
·  
any person or persons acting in concert acquires, voting securities of Old Line Bancshares or Old Line Bank, if after the transaction the acquiring person or persons own, control or hold the power to vote 30% or more of any class of voting securities of Old Line Bancshares or Old Line Bank, as the case may be;
 
·  
within any twelve month period (beginning on or after March 31, 2003) the persons who were directors of Old Line Bancshares or Old Line Bank immediately before the beginning of such twelve month period (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease to constitute at least a majority of such board of directors; provided that any director who was not a director as of the effective date of the employment agreement will be deemed to be an Incumbent Director if that director was elected to such board of directors by, or on the recommendation of or with the approval of, at least two thirds of the directors who then qualified as Incumbent Directors;
 
·  
the stockholders of Old Line Bancshares or Old Line Bank approve a reorganization, merger or consolidation with respect to which persons who were the stockholders of Old Line Bancshares or Old Line Bank immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, immediately thereafter, own more than 50% of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors of the reorganized, merged or consolidated company’s then outstanding voting securities; or
 
·  
all or substantially all of the assets of Old Line Bancshares or Old Line Bank are sold, transferred or assigned to any third party.
 
 
 
 
213

 
 
 
The agreement also contains non-compete, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions.
 
On January 26, 2011, Old Line Bank entered into amended and restated employment agreements with Mr. Burnett and Ms. Rush to serve as Executive Vice Presidents of Old Line Bank.  Each agreement has an initial term of two years, which beginning in 2012 may be extended by the board of directors, in its sole discretion, for one additional year, or such greater term as Old Line Bank deems appropriate.
 
Mr. Burnett’s agreement, as amended January 1, 2012, provides an annual salary of $203,000.  Ms. Rush’s agreement, as amended January 1, 2012, provides an annual salary of $204,000.  Each of these two officers may receive an annual discretionary bonus.  In addition, these officers are each entitled to receive an annual grant of options to purchase at least 2,250 shares of common stock of Old Line Bancshares, assuming such options are available for grant under a stockholder approved stock option plan.
 
Each such agreement terminates upon the employee’s death, in which case all non-vested stock options will immediately vest, or physical or mental incapacitation that has left the employee unable to perform his or her duties for a period of 60 consecutive days.  In addition, the employee may terminate his or her agreement voluntarily.  Old Line Bank may terminate each agreement for certain events constituting cause as defined in the agreements or without cause.  If Old Line Bank terminates the agreements other than for cause, the employee is entitled to be paid his or her salary and benefits, including options provided for in the agreement (which shall vest upon grant), for the remaining term of the agreement, and all unvested stock options shall immediately vest.  In addition, each employee is entitled to receive the remaining balance of his or her unused vacation and personal leave at the termination of employment unless the employee is terminated for cause.  The agreements also contain non-compete, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions.
 
Other Executive Benefits
 
Incentive Plan Model and Stock Option Model
 
In 2005, our board of directors approved an Incentive Plan Model and a Stock Option Model for Messrs. Cornelsen and Burnett and Ms. Rush.  The Incentive Plan Model and the Stock Option Model provide mechanisms under which the Compensation Committee can, in its discretion, authorize cash and equity compensation bonuses to the executive officers.
 
The models provide the Compensation Committee with guidelines for determining discretionary bonuses. When granted, the cash bonus under the Incentive Plan Model is calculated by multiplying the named executive’s base salary by a percentage factor calculated based on our return on assets, return on equity and earnings per share at a threshold, target and stretch level.  The options to be granted under the Stock Option Model depend on whether Old Line Bancshares met the cumulative threshold, target and stretch levels for our return on assets, return on equity and earnings per share.  If met, options with a value equal on the date of grant to a percentage of the executive’s base salary based on the Black-Scholes pricing model are issued to the executives.  
 
Under the 2005 Incentive Plan Model, at the target levels, Mr. Cornelsen would be eligible to receive a bonus equal to 25% of his base salary and Mr. Burnett and Ms. Rush would be eligible to receive a bonus equal to 20% of their base salaries.  Under the Stock Option Model, at the target levels, the officers would be eligible to receive options with a value equal on the date of grant to 20% (for Mr. Cornelsen) or 10% (for Mr. Burnett and Ms. Rush) of base salary based on the Black-Scholes pricing model.
 
The Compensation Committee designed the incentive structure to reward achievement based on Old Line Bancshares’ return on assets, return on equity and earnings per share, and to discourage the achievement of one metric at the expense of the others. The board of directors and the Compensation Committee of the board of directors are authorized to adjust, modify or terminate the models, in full or in part, at any time in their sole discretion.
 
 
 
 
214

 
 
 
In October 2009, the Compensation Committee retained the services of a compensation consultant for the purpose of conducting an analysis of peer bank executive compensation as well as to conduct a review of our existing compensation structure for compliance and competitiveness.  Based on their findings, in January 2010 our board of directors approved a modification to the Incentive Plan Model and Stock Option Model for our named Executive Officers and added a new metric for the calculation of incentives.  In addition to return on assets, return on equity and earnings per share, a threshold, target and stretch goal for non-performing assets will be included in the calculation going forward.  Incentives will be provided to our executives in the form of restricted stock used in conjunction with a combination of cash and stock options in order to encourage focus on long term objectives as well as short term goals.
 
Under the 2011 Incentive Plan Model, at the target levels, Mr. Cornelsen would be eligible to receive a bonus equal to 25% of his base salary and Mr. Burnett and Ms. Rush would be eligible to receive a bonus equal to 20% of their base salaries.  Under the Equity Incentive Model, at the target levels, the officers would be eligible to receive shares of restricted stock and/or options with a total value equal on the date of grant to 20% (for Mr. Cornelsen) or 10% (for Mr. Burnett and Ms. Rush) of base salary based on the Black-Scholes pricing model.
 
The Stock Option Model does not affect the minimum number of options that the executives are entitled to receive as provided for in their employment agreements, subject to the terms of those agreements.
 
On January 23, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the board of directors of Old Line Bancshares and Old Line Bank, reviewed the financial performance of Old Line Bancshares and Old Line Bank for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 in order to determine what, if any, cash bonus or incentive stock option bonus should be paid to the executive officers pursuant to the Incentive Plan Model and Stock Option Model.  In making its review, the Compensation Committee reviewed Old Line Bancshares’ actual financial performance.
 
Based on this review and upon finalization of our year end financial statements, effective March 5, 2012, we issued incentive stock awards to Mr. Cornelsen, Mr. Burnett and Ms. Rush that consisted of stock options and restricted stock as follows:
 
Name of Officer

One third of the option grant will vest as of December 31, 2012, one third of the option grant will vest on December 31, 2013 and one third of the option grant will vest on December 31, 2014.  Vesting requires that the officer be employed by Old Line Bank on the vesting date.

One third of the restricted stock grant will vest on January 26, 2013, one third of the restricted stock grant will vest on January 26, 2014 and one third of the restricted stock grant will vest on January 26, 2015. Vesting requires that the officer be employed by Old Line Bank on the vesting date.
 
The options and restricted stock were issued from the 2004 and 2010 Equity Incentive Plans.
 
Salary Continuation Agreements and Supplemental Life Insurance Agreements
 
On January 3, 2006, Old Line Bank entered into Supplemental Life Insurance Agreements and Salary Continuation Agreements and started accruing for a related annual expense, with Mr. Cornelsen, Mr. Burnett and Ms. Rush.  On February 26, 2010, the Salary Continuation Agreements were modified to include an increased benefit to each executive.  Effective October 1, 2012, Old Line Bank entered into two additional Salary Continuation Plan Agreements with Mr. Cornelsen pursuant to which Mr. Cornelsen will receive additional benefits.
 
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— $1,437,973; Mr. Burnett — $714,216 and Ms. Rush — $764,425.
 
Under the Salary Continuation Agreements, and in accordance with the conditions specified therein, 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 — $77,773.  Mr. Burnett will receive an additional $5,895 per year if he continues his employment with us until he reaches age 68.  The agreements provide for early termination and disability benefits.  The agreements also provide for 100% vesting in the event of a separation from service (defined as the termination of the executive’s employment for any reason other than death or disability) following a change in control (as defined in the agreements).  Change in control is defined in the agreements by reference to the definition in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
On October 2, 2012, Old Line Bank entered into two Salary Continuation Plan Agreements with Mr. Cornelsen, effective October 1, 2012.
 
The first 2012 Salary Continuation Plan Agreement provides that if Mr. Cornelsen remains employed by the Bank until he reaches the age of 65, he will be entitled to receive, beginning on the first day of the second month following his 65th birthday, an annual payment of $63,991.  Such payment shall continue for the remainder of Mr. Cornelsen’s life but will be paid for a guaranteed minimum of five years (such payments to be made to his beneficiary if he dies prior to such five-year period).  If on or after October 1, 2013, Mr. Cornelsen dies before reaching age 65 or becomes disabled, as defined in the agreement, while employed by the Bank, or he becomes no longer employed by the Bank other than for death, disability or within 24 months after a change in control, he or his beneficiary will be paid an annual amount ranging from between $6,444 and $51,745, depending on the date of the event, for a period of 15 years.  Such benefits are generally payable beginning on the first day of the second month following Mr. Cornelsen’s 65th birthday (or, with respect to the disability payment, following the date of Mr. Cornelsen’s death if earlier).  All payments under the agreement are paid in monthly installments except as noted below.  The agreement also provides for change in control payments to be paid to Mr. Cornelsen if he is employed with the Bank upon a change in control (as defined in the agreement) of the Bank.  The change in control payments range from $46,554 to $63,991 annually, depending on the date of the change in control, and will be paid to Mr. Cornelsen or his beneficiary, as applicable, for a period of 15 years beginning (in most cases) on the first day of the second month following the date of termination of Mr. Cornelsen’s employment with the Bank.  If, however, Mr. Cornelsen’s employment with the Bank is terminated for any reason (whether voluntarily or involuntarily) within 24 months following a change in control, he may instead opt to be paid the change in control payments in (i) a lump sum, (ii) monthly installments over two years, or (iii) monthly installments over five years.

The second 2012 Salary Continuation Plan Agreement provides that if Mr. Cornelsen remains employed by the Bank until he reaches the age of 65, he will be entitled to receive, beginning on the first day of the second month following his 80th birthday, an annual payment of $223,729.  If on or after October 1, 2013, Mr. Cornelsen dies before reaching age 65 or becomes disabled, as defined in the agreement, while employed by the Bank, or he becomes no longer employed by the Bank other than for death, disability or within 24 months after a change in control, he or his beneficiary will be paid an annual amount ranging from between $22,531 and $180,913, depending on the date of the event, for a period of five years.  Such death benefit is payable to Mr. Cornelsen’s beneficiary beginning on the first day of the second month following the 15th anniversary of his death, while the other payments begin on the first day of the second month following Mr. Cornelsen’s 80th birthday.  All payments under the agreement are paid in monthly installments except as noted below.  The agreement also provides for change in control payments to be paid to Mr. Cornelsen if he is employed with the Bank upon a change in control (as defined in the agreement) of the Bank.  The change in control payments range from $162,764 to $223,729 annually, depending on the date of the change of control, and will be paid for a period of five years beginning on the 15th anniversary of the first day of the second month following the date of termination of Mr. Cornelsen’s employment with the Bank.  If, however, Mr. Cornelsen’s employment with the Bank is terminated for any reason (whether voluntarily or involuntarily) within 24 months following a change in control, he may instead opt to be paid the change in control payments in (i) a lump sum or (ii) monthly installments over two years.  All payments under this agreement will be paid to Mr. Cornelsen’s beneficiary if he should die before five years of payments are made.

(6)
Mr. Davey resigned from the board of directors on October 21, 2011.  As a result of his resignation, his restricted stock never vested and was forfeited.  He has one year from the date of his resignation to exercise his 1,500 vested stock options.
 
(7)
Mr. Taylor joined the board of directors on August 25, 2011.  Fee includes payment pursuant to the Executive Noncompetition Agreement between Old Line Bancshares and Mr. Taylor entered into in connection with our acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp.
 
(8)
Mr. Watts joined the board of directors on April 1, 2011 and resigned on April 26, 2011.  He was not compensated for his services.
 
For 2011, each non-employee Director of Old Line Bank, other than the Chairman of the Board and the Vice Chairman of the Board, received $400 for each attended meeting of the board of directors, $200 for each attended meeting of the Loan/Loan review Committee and the Nominating Committee and $300 for each attended meeting of the Asset & Liability Committee.  Each non-employee Director of Old Line Bank, other than the Chairman of the Board and the Vice Chairman of the Board, also received $300 for each attended meeting of the Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee.  The Chairmen of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee also received an additional $300 for each attended meeting of their respective committees.  Beginning in November 2011, each non-employee Director of Old Line Bank, other than the Chairman of the Board and Vice Chairman of the Board, received $300 for each attended meeting of the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee (formerly, Nominating Committee).  The Chairman of the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee also received an additional $300 for each attended meeting.  Each non-employee Director of Old Line Bank, other than the Chairman of the Board and the Vice Chairman of the Board, also received a $2,000 quarterly retainer.  During 2011, the Chairman of the Board received an annual compensation of $40,000 and the Vice Chairman received an annual compensation of $20,000 in lieu of attendance fees.  In December 2011, the board of directors of Old Line Bank re-approved the existing compensation structure for the Directors of Old Line Bank.
 
 
 
221

 
 
 
In addition, in September 2012 the board of directors adopted a resolution providing directors who retire from the board of directors with at least seven years of service a payment of $50,000, payable in three annual installments.
 
Old Line Bancshares has paid no cash remuneration, direct or otherwise, to its directors since its incorporation.  It is expected that unless and until Old Line Bancshares becomes actively involved in additional businesses other than owning all the capital stock of Old Line Bank, it will pay no separate cash compensation to the directors of Old Line Bancshares in addition to that paid to them by Old Line Bank in their capacities as directors of Old Line Bank.  However, Old Line Bancshares may determine in the future that such separate cash compensation is appropriate.
 
In January 2011, Old Line Bancshares granted to each director options to purchase 500 shares of our common stock and 189 shares of restricted stock. The options have an exercise price of $7.82, the closing price of the common stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market on the date prior to the date of grant.  According to their terms, the options and restricted stock vested on December 31, 2011, if the applicable director was still serving on the board of directors on such date.
 
In March 2012, Old Line Bancshares granted 260 shares of restricted stock in addition to options to purchase 1,000 shares of our common stock.  The options, which were approved by the board of directors in January 2012 subject to the release of year end financial results, have an exercise price of $8.00, the closing price of the common stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market on January 23, 2012.  The options and restricted stock will vest on December 31, 2012, assuming that the applicable director still serves on the board of directors on such date.
 
OLD LINE BANCSHARES, INC. – CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
Old Line Bank has had in the past, and expects to have in the future, banking transactions with directors and executive officers and the business and professional organizations in which they are associated in the ordinary course of business.  Any loans and loan commitments are made in accordance with all applicable laws and on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans to unrelated persons.  In the opinion of management, these transactions do not and will not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.  Directors or officers with any personal interest in any loan application are excluded from considering any such loan application.  The aggregate amount of loans outstanding to Old Line Bank’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was approximately $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
 
Old Line Bank has entered into various transactions with firms in which owners are also members of the board of directors.  Fees charged for these services are at similar rates charged by unrelated parties for similar products or services.  Old Line Bank leases two branch office facilities from G. Thomas Daugherty or companies owned by Mr. Daugherty.  In 2011, Old Line Bank paid lease payments for these facilities of $188,250.

Origination, Purchase and Sale of Loans.   As a federal savings bank, the Bank has authority to originate and purchase loans secured by real estate located throughout the United States.  Generally, we make loans in and around our market area, which primarily is the Baltimore-Washington corridor. Historically, we have not engaged in the purchasing of loans.
 
In addition to accepting loan requests from our customer base, we employ18 mortgage loan originators compensated primarily on an incentive basis and two commercial loan originators compensated primarily on a salary basis.  The loan originators and other members of our management maintain contacts with local builders, developers and realtors, which provide us with additional potential customers.  The Bank also enhances its business contacts within the communities it serves by participating in local civic organizations.
 
The Bank originates residential loans for its portfolio and for sale in the secondary market.  Our general practice has been to sell loans on an individual basis to various lenders throughout the country, without retaining loan servicing rights (commonly referred to as “servicing released”).  In general, higher interest rate loans, such as commercial loans, second mortgages, construction loans and construction/ permanent loans, are held in the Bank’s portfolio, while conforming first mortgages are sold at or shortly after origination.  During this period of slow demand in other areas of lending, we are focusing on increasing mortgage activity in order to reduce balance sheet risk and realize gains on the sale of loans in the secondary market.  Due to slow demand in commercial lending, our management has reduced our commercial business and commercial real estate lending department staff during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011.  This has resulted in a decrease in the portfolios of commercial business, commercial real estate and residential land development loans to commercial borrowers.  We also use available funds to retain certain higher-yielding fixed rate residential mortgage loans in our portfolio in order to improve interest income.  During the past two fiscal years and the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we originated 1,239 loans with a principal value of approximately $374.2 million.  The proceeds from loan sales are used to fund loans held for investment, mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and investment securities.  We also have approval to sell loans to Fannie Mae (“FNMA”) and Freddie Mac (“FHLMC”), which enhances our ability to sell our mortgage loans and to convert pools of loans into marketable Ginnie Mae (“GNMA”), FNMA and FHLMC participation certificates.  See “– Mortgage-Backed Securities.”
 
Loan Underwriting Policies.   Under our loan approval policy, all loans approved must comply with federal regulations.  Generally, we will make residential mortgage loans in amounts up to the limits established from time to time by FNMA and FHLMC for secondary market resale purposes.  This amount for single-family residential loans currently varies from $417,000 up to a maximum of $625,500 for certain high-cost designated areas.  We also make residential mortgage loans up to limits established by the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) which currently is $729,500.  The Washington, D.C. and Baltimore areas are both considered high-cost designated areas.  We will, however, make loans in excess of this amount, if we believe we can sell the loans in the secondary market or that the loans should be held in our portfolio.
 
 
 
225

 
 
 
We obtain detailed loan applications to determine a borrower’s ability to repay and verify the more significant items on these applications through credit reports, financial statements and confirmations.  We also require appraisals of collateral and title insurance on secured real estate loans.  Most borrowers must establish a mortgage escrow account for items such as real estate taxes, governmental charges and hazard and private mortgage insurance premiums.
 
Our lending policy generally requires private mortgage insurance when the loan-to-value ratio exceeds 80%.  We generally do not lend in excess of 90% of the appraised value of single-family residential dwellings even when private mortgage insurance is obtained, except for FHA, Veterans Administration (“VA”) and Farmers Home Administration (“FmHA”) loans, which permit higher loan-to-value ratios.  Underwriting policies on other types of loans are described below.
 
Under federal law, the aggregate amount of loans that we may make to any one borrower and related entities is generally limited to 15% of the Bank’s unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus.  Our general lending limit at September 30, 2012 was approximately $8.1 million.  We have not made any loans aggregated in excess of this limit.
 
Single-Family Residential Real Estate Lending.   At September 30, 2012, we had a total of $268.6 million in loans receivable and MBS.  Loans secured by first or second mortgages on single-family properties, excluding construction loans, were $74.9 million, or 27.9% of total loans receivable and MBS.  MBS were $81.8 million, or 30.4% of total loans receivable and MBS.
 
Our single-family residential loans have historically consisted of fixed interest rates for terms of up to 30 years.  We originate conventional mortgage loans, FHA loans, VA loans, and loans in excess of the FNMA and FHLMC ceilings both for sale in the secondary market and for our own portfolio.  We also offer adjustable-rate mortgages, with rates adjusting to external indices in one to ten years.  We have also made loans which fully amortize in 15 years and, on investment properties, loans which are due and payable in five years, subject to extension in some circumstances.
 
Non-Residential Real Estate Lending.   We make permanent mortgage loans on various non-residential properties, including office buildings and warehouses.  Non-residential loans are made on properties located in or around our market area.  Non-residential real estate lending may entail significant additional risks as compared to single-family residential property lending.  At September 30, 2012, non-residential real estate loans represented $32.6million, or 12.1% of total loans receivable and MBS, and lot and land loans represented $6.5 million, or 2.4%, of our total loans receivable and MBS.
 
Acquisition, Development and Construction Lending.   We provide construction loans for single-family and multi-family residences and for non-residential properties.  These loans usually include funding for the acquisition and development of unimproved properties to be used for residential or non-residential construction.  We may provide permanent financing on the same projects for which we have provided the construction financing.
 
Acquisition, development and construction lending, while providing higher yields, may also have greater risks of loss than long-term residential mortgage loans on improved, owner-occupied properties.  At September 30, 2012, acquisition, development and construction loans represented $3.9 million, or 1.5%, of our total loans receivable and MBS.
 
The Bank generally is not currently seeking land or land acquisition loans; however, in the past the Bank would generally make land acquisition loans with terms of up to three years and loan to value ratios of up to 65%, and land development loans with terms of up to two years and loan-to value ratios of up to 75%.  The Bank is currently focusing on owner occupied residential construction loans with original terms of generally up to one year and loan to-value ratios of up to 80%.
 
 
 
226

 
 
Commercial Lending.   Federal laws and regulations permit thrift institutions to lend up to 20% of total assets in commercial loans on an unsecured basis or secured by collateral other than real estate, provided that amounts in excess of 10% of total assets may be used only for small business loans.  Prior to 2008, commercial lending was a minor component of our lending portfolio and operations.  Since 2008, we expanded this part of our lending business and continue to promote the origination of commercial and commercial real estate lending, but due to slow demand in commercial lending, our commercial portfolio decreased approximately $15.9 million during 2011 and an additional $11.0 million during the first nine months of 2012 as a result of loan paydowns.  We have, however, recently shifted our focus to increasing our mortgage banking activity, primarily loans sold in the secondary market, during this current period of slow demand for commercial lending.  At September 30, 2012, commercial loans represented $1.9 million, or 0.7%, of total loans receivable and MBS, which was below the limit permitted by the regulations.  Commercial loans secured by real estate represented $66.5 million, or 24.8%, of total loans receivable and MBS at September 30, 2012.  In addition, we have issued a limited number of standby letters of credit, generally to development loan customers in connection with development work financed by the Bank.
 
Consumer Lending.   Federal laws and regulations permit a federally chartered thrift institution to make secured and unsecured consumer loans in an aggregate amount up to 35% of the institution's total assets.  The 35% limitation does not include home equity loans (loans secured by the equity in the borrower's residence, but not necessarily for the purpose of improvement), home improvement loans or loans secured by deposits.  We have not actively promoted these kinds of loans.  Consumer loans, including loans secured by deposits, represented $455,200, or 0.2%, of total loans receivable and MBS at September 30, 2012.
 
Loan Fees and Service Charges.   In addition to interest earned on loans, we receive income through servicing of loans and certain loan fees in connection with loan originations, loan modifications, loan commitments, late payments, changes of property ownership inspection fees and other services related to our outstanding loans.  Income from these activities varies from period to period with the volume and types of loans made and repaid.  We charge loan origination fees, which are calculated as a percentage of the amount loaned.  The fees received in connection with the origination of construction and mortgage loans have generally been from one to four points (one point being equivalent to 1% of the principal amount of the loan) and are dependent upon market conditions and other factors.  Loan origination fees, net of certain costs, are deferred and recognized as a yield adjustment over the lives of the loans primarily utilizing the interest method.
 
Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS)
 
In addition to short-term investments, when management believes favorable interest rate spreads are available, we may invest excess funds in MBS.  GNMA participation certificates represent interests in pools of loans which are either insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA.  FHLMC participation certificates are guaranteed by the FHLMC and FNMA participation certificates are guaranteed by the FNMA.  The United States is not obligated to fund either FHLMC’s obligations or FNMA’s obligations.  MBS may also be used as collateral for short-term and long-term borrowings, which we may obtain from time to time.  We do not generally employ hedging strategies in connection with a MBS portfolio.
 
The primary risk of holding these securities is the fluctuation of principal value corresponding to changes in interest rates.  Although MBS do not alter the overall maturity of our assets as compared to holding a comparable portfolio of whole loans, they are more liquid than whole mortgage loans.  At September 30, 2012, we had $81.8 million MBS in our portfolio.  The following table sets forth the book value and estimated market value of the MBS portfolio at the dates indicated.

We sold approximately $11.4 million MBS classified as available-for-sale and experienced $535,000 per tax loss, or approximately $324,000 after tax loss, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  We sold these MBS because we believe that these MBS may have resulted in downward adjustments in the total consideration to be paid to WSB’s stockholders in the merger had such MBS remained in our portfolio on the effective date of the merger.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we sold $10.3 million MBS classified as available-for-sale.  During the year ended December 31, 2011, we sold $11.0 million MBS classified as available-for-sale and experienced $401,000 pre-tax gain, or approximately $243,000 after tax gain, compared to $5.2 million MBS classified as available-for-sale, experiencing a $470,000 pre-tax loss, or approximately $285,000 after tax loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.  During the year ended December 31, 2010, we also sold $1.8 million classified as held-to-maturity and experienced a $109,000 pre-tax gain, or approximately $66,000 after tax gain.  There were no sales of MBS classified as held-to-maturity for the year ended December 31, 2011 and we had no securities classified as held-to-maturity subsequent to the 2010 sale.  At December 31, 2011, we had no non-cash other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges recognized in net earnings, related to available-for-sale investments as compared to a charge to the consolidated statement of operations of $2.9 million for one of our private-labeled MBS for the period ended December 31, 2010.  The OTTI charge related to a credit loss.  For a full explanation, please refer to Note 3 of the Notes to WSB Holdings’ audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Other Investment Activities
 
In addition to investment in MBS, excess short-term funds have generally been invested in federal funds, agency callable paper, zero coupon bonds, a certificate of deposit (“CD”) and preferred trust coupon bonds.  Our portfolio of investment securities provides a source of liquidity when loan demand exceeds funding capability, provides funding for unexpected savings and CD withdrawals, provides funds for CD maturities, serves as a vehicle for interest rate risk management and provides a source of income.  We are required to maintain certain liquidity ratios and generally do so by investing in securities that qualify as liquid assets under federal regulations.  We are also required to hold FHLB stock in specified amounts and to maintain certain reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.  See “– Supervision and Regulation.”

Loss on the sale of investment securities for the three month period ending September 30, 2012, was approximately $288,000 pretax, $174,000 net of tax, compared to a gain of $128,000 pretax, $78,000 net of tax during the same three month period of 2011.  The gross realized loss for the three month period ending September 30, 2012 was due to sales and calls of approximately $1.1 million in sales of agency callable, $5.0 million in corporate bonds, $10.0 million in called agencies, and $10.3 million in MBS.  The gross realized loss for the nine month period ending September 30, 2012, was $125,000 pretax, $76,000 net of tax was due to the sales and calls of approximately $2.8 million in sales of agency callable, $5.0 million in corporate bonds, $34.0 million in called agencies, and $11.4 million in MBS.  These investment calls and sales resulted in a gross realized gain of $410,000, offset by the MBS sales resulting in a gross realized loss of $535,000 pretax, or $324,000 net of tax, compared to a gain of $543,000 pretax, or $329,000 net of tax, during the same nine month period of 2011.  We sold these MBS because we believe that these MBS may have resulted in downward adjustments in the total consideration to be paid to our stockholders in the merger had such MBS remained in our portfolio on the effective date of the merger.  The 2011 gain was due to the opportunity to sell and receive a premium on MBS then held in our portfolio.  We expect to continue to reposition the investment portfolio in order to attempt to minimize any potential adjustment to the total consideration to be paid upon closing of the merger.
 
Approximately $32.0 million short term investments, callable agencies, were called during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011.  During the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011, we sold approximately $10.0 million in short term agencies.  The sale of these securities was used to reinvest in higher yielding investments which included MBS and corporate bonds.  This was part of management’s efforts during 2011 to continue to strengthen the balance sheet for the future.
 
Sources of Funds
 
General.    Deposits are the primary source of the Bank’s funds for use in lending and for other general business purposes.  In addition to deposits, we obtain funds from loan amortizations and prepayments and sales of loans, MBS and investment securities.  We maintain funding facilities with correspondent banks and the FHLB of Atlanta, which are cancelable by the lender and subject to lender discretion.  Management has begun investing excess cash liquidity in investment grade securities which offer a ready source of collateral for secured borrowings under existing credit facilities. Structured repurchase agreements (“repos”) are financial transactions in which an organization borrows money by selling securities and simultaneously agreeing to buy the securities back later at a higher price, and they function similarly to a secured loan with the securities serving as collateral.  At September 30, 2012, we had borrowings of $68.0 million in the form of advances from the FHLB of Atlanta.
 
Deposits.   Deposits are the primary source of our funds for use in lending and for other general business purposes.  We compete with other financial institutions for deposits.  Competition for deposits remains high.  The receipt and disbursement of deposits are significantly influenced by economic conditions, interest rates, money market conditions and other factors.  Our consumer deposits and commercial deposits are attracted from within our primary market areas through the offering of a broad selection of deposit instruments including consumer, small business and commercial demand deposit accounts, interest-bearing checking accounts, money market accounts, regular savings accounts, CDs and retirement savings plans.  These accounts are a source of low-interest cost funds and provide fee income to the Bank.

Information concerning our deposits is set forth in “WSB Holdings, Inc.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Consolidated Financial Condition Analysis – Deposits” and in Note 8 of the Notes to WSB Holdings’ audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
The change in the mix of our deposits during 2011, as discussed in the table below, reflects our emphasis on the growth of core deposits, savings accounts, and less emphasis on longer-term CDs.  We advertise for CDs from time to time generally when we have the need for deposits of specific maturities.  We have received deposits through brokers on an occasional basis in a manner consistent with federal regulations for our current funding obligations, however, we have consciously reduced our reliance on brokered deposits and have focused growth through the branches.
 
The following table shows the distribution of our deposits by type of deposit, including accrued interest, for the periods indicated.

Deposits were $247.3 million at September 30, 2012, compared to $245.1 million at December 31, 2011.  The increase in deposits at September 30, 2012, compared to December 31, 2011, was primarily due to an increase in our brokered certificate of deposits and in our savings accounts, primarily money market accounts.  During this period, our rates on money fund accounts were slightly higher than the Bank’s competitors, resulting in an increase in our core deposits.  As previously reported, we exercised our intention to renew the broker deposits that matured during the fourth quarter of 2011 and first quarter of 2012.  Approximately $14.0 million of our CDs classified as broker deposits matured of which approximately $11.0 million were renewed.  Management anticipates continuing to utilize excess funding liquidity to offset a runoff of higher cost CDs which were previously originated to fund loan production.
 
Our deposits are insured by the FDIC.  The Bank’s deposits have FDIC insurance coverage of $250,000 per depositor.  The Dodd-Frank Act signed on July 21, 2010, made permanent the deposit insurance amount of $250,000.

Borrowings.    Total borrowings are $68.2 million as of September 30, 2012, $84.0 million as of December 31, 2011 and $76.0 million as of December 31, 2010, all of which consisted of FHLB advances, including $8.0 million in daily rate credit at December 31, 2011.  The $8.0 million daily rate credit was repaid and an $8.0 million advance matured during the first quarter of 2012.  We maintain funding activities with correspondent banks and the FHLB of Atlanta, which are cancelable by the lender and subject to lender discretion.  To the extent we do not or cannot use FHLB borrowings, we would expect to rely on alternative funding sources, including our deposit base and correspondent bank lines of credit.  Our remaining credit availability for additional FHLB advances at September 30, 2012 is $43.9 million.  As of September 30, 2012 we have unused lines of credit with our correspondent banks in the amount of $7.0 million.

Our interest expense on our borrowings decreased approximately $1.4 million and $2.4 million for the periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.  This decrease is due to the restructuring of our borrowings by which we elected the repayment of $30.0 million of our reverse repurchase agreements resulting in a pre-payment penalty of approximately $2.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Supervision and Regulation
 
General
 
The following discussion summarizes certain material elements of the regulatory framework applicable to WSB Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  These summaries of statutes and regulations are not intended to be complete and such summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations.
 
WSB Holdings is a unitary savings and loan holding company that is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board.  As such, WSB Holdings is required to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary depository institution and to commit resources to support the depository institution as needed.  The Federal Reserve Board also has the authority to require WSB Holdings to terminate any activity or to relinquish control of a nonbank subsidiary upon the Federal Reserve Board’s determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness and stability of the holding company or the depository institution.  WSB Holdings’ status as a savings and loan holding company does not exempt it from certain federal and state laws applicable to Delaware corporations generally, including, without limitation, certain provisions of the federal securities laws.
 
As a federal savings bank, The Washington Savings Bank is subject to extensive regulation and periodic examination by the OCC.  The lending activities and other investments of The Washington Savings Bank must comply with various federal regulatory requirements and The Washington Savings Bank must periodically file reports with the OCC describing its activities and financial condition.  The Bank’s deposits are insured by the FDIC through its Deposit Insurance Fund. The Washington Savings Bank is also subject to regulation for certain matters by the FDIC and for certain other matters by the Federal Reserve Board.  This supervision and regulation is intended primarily for the protection of depositors.  Certain of these regulatory requirements are referred to below or appear elsewhere herein.
 
On June 3, 2011, WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank entered into separate supervisory agreements with the OTS, their primary banking regulator on such date.  For additional information please see “The Merger Agreement and the Merger – Regulatory Matters Regarding WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank.”
 
WSB Holdings
 
General
 
WSB Holdings is registered with the Federal Reserve Board and is subject to regulations, examinations, supervision and reporting requirements applicable to savings and loan holding companies.  In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has enforcement authority over WSB Holdings and its subsidiaries.  Among other things, this authority permits the Federal Reserve Board to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to The Washington Savings Bank.  The Federal Reserve Board assumed the authority over savings and loan holding companies previously exercised by the OTS on July 21, 2011.
 
Permissible Activities.
 
Under present law, the business activities of WSB Holdings are generally limited to those activities permissible for bank holding companies under Section 4(c)(8) of The Holding Company Act and financial holding companies under Section 4(k) of The Bank Holding Company Act, provided certain conditions are met, and certain additional activities authorized by federal regulations.
 
 
 
233

 
 
 
Savings and loan holding companies, such as WSB Holdings, may not directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, acquire more than 5% of another savings institution or savings and loan holding company, without prior regulatory approval.  WSB Holdings may not, with certain exceptions, acquire more than 5% of a non-subsidiary company engaged in activities that are not closely related to banking or financial in nature, or acquire or retain control of an institution that is not federally insured.  In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Federal Reserve Board must consider the financial and managerial resources, future prospects of the company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the federal deposit insurance fund, the convenience and needs of the community and competitive factors.
 
Capital
 
Savings and loan holding companies are not currently subject to specific regulatory capital requirements.  The Dodd-Frank Act, however, requires the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate consolidated capital requirements for depository institution holding companies that are no less stringent, both quantitatively and in terms of components of capital, than those applicable to institutions themselves. In addition, proposed capital rules would subject top-tier saving and loan holding companies, such as WSB Holdings, to the same general capital requirements applicable to their subsidiary savings banks.  See “The Washington Savings Bank – Proposed New Capital Rules.”
 
Source of Strength
 
The Dodd-Frank Act extended the “source of strength” doctrine to savings and loan holding companies.  The regulatory agencies must issue regulations requiring that all bank and savings and loan holding companies serve as a source of strength to their subsidiary depository institutions by providing capital, liquidity and other support in times of financial stress.
 
Dividends
 
The Washington Savings Bank must notify the Federal Reserve Board 30 days before declaring any dividend to WSB Holdings.  The Federal Reserve Board may disapprove such dividend, in whole or in part, if it finds that the proposed dividend would, among other things, cause The Washington Savings Bank to be undercapitalized, raise safety or soundness concerns, or violate a prohibition contained in any statute, regulation, enforcement action, or agreement between The Washington Savings Bank or WSB Holdings and any Federal banking agency.
 
Acquisition of WSB Holdings, Inc.
 
Under the Federal Change in Control Act, a notice must be submitted to the Federal Reserve Board if any person (including a company), or group acting in concert, seeks to acquire direct or indirect “control” of a savings and loan holding company.  Under certain circumstances, a change of control may occur, and prior notice is required, upon the acquisition of 10% or more of the company’s outstanding voting stock, unless the Federal Reserve Board has found that the acquisition will not result in control of the company.  A change in control definitively occurs upon the acquisition of 25% or more of the company’s outstanding voting stock.  Under the Change in Bank Control Act, the Federal Reserve Board generally has 60 days from the filing of a complete notice to act, taking into consideration certain factors, including the financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the competitive effects of the acquisition.

Regulatory Reform Legislation
 
The Dodd-Frank Act, enacted in 2010, will have a broad impact on the financial services industry, imposing significant regulatory and compliance changes, including the designation of certain financial companies as systemically significant, the imposition of increased capital, leverage, and liquidity requirements, and numerous other provisions designed to improve supervision and oversight of, and strengthen safety and soundness within, the financial services sector.
 
The following items provide a brief description of certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act.
 
·  
OTS merged with OCC.   The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated the OTS.  On July 21, 2011, the OTS merged into the OCC, with the OCC assuming all functions and authority from the OTS relating to federally chartered savings banks, such as The Washington Savings Bank, and the Federal Reserve Board assuming all functions and authority from the OTS relating to holding companies for savings banks, such as WSB Holdings, Inc.  As a result, as of July 21, 2011, the OCC became The Washington Savings Bank’s primary federal regulator and WSB Holdings became subject to supervision by the Federal Reserve Board.
 
·  
Source of strength.   The Dodd-Frank Act extended the Federal Reserve Board’s “source of strength” doctrine to savings and loan holding companies such as WSB Holdings.  The regulatory agencies must issue regulations requiring that all bank and savings and loan holding companies serve as a source of strength to their subsidiary depository institutions by providing capital, liquidity and other support in times of financial stress.
 
·  
Limitation on federal preemption. The Dodd-Frank Act significantly reduces the ability of federal savings banks to rely upon federal preemption of state consumer financial laws.  The Dodd-Frank Act also eliminates altogether the preemption of state law for subsidiaries, agents, and affiliates of federal savings banks (other than a subsidiary, affiliate, or agent that is chartered as a federal savings bank).  Although the OCC, as the primary regulator of federal savings banks, will have the ability to make preemption determinations where certain conditions are met, the change in the law regarding federal preemption has the potential to create a patchwork of federal and state compliance obligations.
 
·  
Mortgage loan origination and risk retention.   The Dodd-Frank Act imposes new standards for mortgage loan originations on all lenders, including banks, in an effort to require steps to verify a borrower's ability to repay.  In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act generally requires lenders or securitizers to retain an economic interest in the credit risk relating to loans the lender sells or mortgage and other asset-backed securities that the securitizer issues.  The risk retention requirement generally will be 5%, but could be increased or decreased by regulation.
 
·  
CFPB .  The CFPB is tasked with establishing and implementing rules and regulations under certain federal consumer protection laws with respect to the conduct of providers of certain consumer financial products and services.  The CFPB has rulemaking authority over many of the statutes governing products and services offered to bank consumers, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices.  For banking organizations with assets under $10 billion, like The Washington Savings Bank, the CFPB has exclusive rulemaking authority, but The Washington Savings Bank’s primary federal regulator will continue to have examination and enforcement authority under federal consumer financial law.  In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act permits states to adopt consumer protection laws and regulations that are stricter than those regulations promulgated by the CFPB.  Compliance with any such new regulations would increase our cost of operations.
 
 
 
235

 
 
 
·  
Deposit insurance .  The Dodd-Frank Act made permanent the general $250,000 deposit insurance limit for insured deposits.  The Dodd-Frank Act also extends until January 1, 2013, federal deposit insurance coverage for the full net amount held by depositors in non-interest bearing transaction accounts.  Amendments to the FDIA also broadened the assessment base against which an insured depository institution's deposit insurance premiums paid to Deposit Insurance Fund will be calculated.  Under the amendments, the assessment base will no longer be the institution’s deposit base, but rather its average consolidated total assets less its average tangible equity.  These provisions could increase the FDIC deposit insurance premiums paid by The Washington Savings Bank.
 
·  
Corporate governance .  The Dodd-Frank Act addresses many investor protection, corporate governance and executive compensation matters that will affect most U.S. publicly traded companies, including WSB Holdings.  The Dodd-Frank Act provides the SEC with authority to adopt proxy access rules that would allow stockholders of publicly traded companies to nominate candidates for election as a director and have those nominees included in a company’s proxy materials and directs the SEC and national securities exchanges to adopt rules that: (1) provide stockholders of U.S. publicly traded companies an advisory vote on executive compensation; (2) will enhance independence requirements for compensation committee members; and (3) will require companies listed on national securities exchanges to adopt incentive-based compensation clawback policies for executive officers.
 
Liquidity Requirements
 
As a thrift, The Washington Savings Bank derives its lending and investment authority from the Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended, and regulations of the OCC thereunder.  Those laws and regulations limit the ability of The Washington Savings Bank to invest in certain types of assets and to make certain types of loans.  For example, the OCC requires thrifts to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure their safe and sound operation.  Liquid assets are defined to include cash, deposits maintained pursuant to Federal Reserve Board reserve requirements, time deposits in certain institutions and certain savings deposits, obligations of the United States and certain of its agencies and qualifying obligations of the states and political subdivisions thereof, highly rated corporate debt, mutual funds that are restricted by their investment policies to investing only in liquid assets, certain mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities and bankers acceptances.  As of September 30, 2012, The Washington Savings Bank had $38.4 million of cash and cash equivalents.  Further, WSB Holdings had $102.4 million of unpledged investment securities.  However, the unpledged securities consist of approximately $2.7 million private label mortgage-backed securities with limited marketability for purposes of liquidity.
 
Internal sources of operational liquidity used by The Washington Savings Bank are cash, various short-term investments, mortgage-backed securities and loans and investments classified as available-for-sale.  Additionally, we may borrow funds from commercial banks or from the FHLB of Atlanta or the Federal Reserve Bank “discount window” after exhausting FHLB sources.  Previously, we also have utilized short term borrowings in the form of reverse repurchase agreements from a commercial bank to meet short-term liquidity needs.  At September 30, 2012, we had approximately $43.9 million of availability on our FHLB line, and $7.0 million of availability on our secured line of credits with
 
Qualified Thrift Lender Test
 
As a federal savings bank, The Washington Savings Bank must satisfy the qualified thrift lender, or “QTL,” test.  To satisfy the QTL test, The Washington Savings Bank must either qualify as a domestic building and loan association under the Internal Revenue Code, or maintain an appropriate level of certain investments, called “Qualified Thrift Investments” (“QTIs”).  QTIs include, among other things, a bank’s residential mortgages and related investments, including mortgage-backed securities, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, education loans, small business loans, and loans made through credit cards.  QTIs must represent 65% or more of The Washington Savings Bank’s portfolio assets on a monthly average basis in nine months out of every 12-month period.  “Portfolio assets” generally means total assets of a savings bank, less the sum of specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, and the value of property used in the conduct of the savings bank’s business.  Failure by The Washington Savings Bank to maintain its status as a QTL will result in certain restrictions under the Home Owners’ Loan Act on The Washington Savings Bank’s ability to engage in new activities, to establish new branches and to pay dividends.  Additionally, WSB Holdings would be required to register as a bank holding company and become subject to the various restrictions applicable to the activities of bank holding companies.  The Dodd-Frank Act made noncompliance with the QTL test subject to OCC enforcement action for a violation of law.  At September 30, 2012, our QTL ratio was 85% which exceeded the requirements of the QTL test.
 
 
 
236

 
 
 
Capital Standards
 
The Washington Savings Bank is subject to capital standards imposed by the OCC.  These standards call for a minimum “leverage ratio” of core capital to adjusted total assets of 4% (3% for savings institutions receiving the highest composite CAMELS rating for safety and soundness), a minimum ratio of tangible capital to adjusted total assets of 1.5%, and a minimum ratio of risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%.  For capital adequacy purposes, a bank is placed in one of the following five categories based on the bank’s capital: (1) well capitalized (at least 5% leverage capital, 6% Tier 1 risk-based capital and 10% total risk-based capital); (2) adequately capitalized (at least 4% leverage capital (3% for savings banks receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS rating system), 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital and 8% total risk-based capital); (3) undercapitalized (less than 4% leverage capital (3% for savings banks receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS rating system), 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital or less than 8% total risk-based capital,); (4) significantly undercapitalized (less than 3% leverage capital, 3% Tier 1 risk-based capital or less than 6% total risk-based capital,); and (5) critically undercapitalized (less than 2% tangible capital).  The federal banking agencies are required to take prompt corrective action with respect to insured institutions that fall below the adequately capitalized level.  Any insured depository institution that falls below the adequately capitalized level must submit a capital restoration plan, and, if its capital levels further decline or do not increase, will face increased scrutiny and more stringent supervisory action.  At September 30, 2012, The Washington Savings Bank’s ratios exceeded all regulatory capital requirements for well capitalized institutions.

On June 12, 2012, the federal bank regulatory agencies adopted notices of proposed rulemaking in which they proposed to revise their risk-based and leverage capital requirements consistent with agreements reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in “Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems” (“Basel III”).  If adopted, the new requirements would introduce new tier 1 common equity ratio requirements of 4.5% and 6.5%, net of regulatory deductions, for adequately capitalized and well-capitalized institutions, respectively, and would also establish more conservative standards for including an instrument in regulatory capital.  The new requirements would also introduce a capital conservation buffer of an additional 2.5% of common equity to risk-weighted assets, raising the target minimum common equity ratio to 7%, the minimum tier 1 capital ratio to 8.5%, and the minimum total capital ratio to 10.5%.  An institution’s failure to achieve these minimum levels including the capital conservation buffer would restrict the institution’s ability to make capital distributions, including dividends, and to make certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.  The regulatory agencies also reserve the right to require capital ratios for individual institutions that are higher than these minimums depending on the institution’s individual circumstances.  The new requirements would also assign new risk weight categories for certain assets, most notably residential mortgage loans, high volatility commercial real estate loans, and past due assets.  These new risk weightings may require banks and bank holding companies to maintain additional capital against assets in those categories and may introduce more volatility in their capital ratios.  The new capital requirements would be applicable to savings and loan holding companies such as WSB Holdings.

Interest Rate Risk
 
The OCC has issued guidelines regarding the management of interest rate risk (“IRR”).  The OCC expects all federal savings associations, such as The Washington Savings Bank, to manage their IRR exposure using processes and systems commensurate with their earnings and capital levels, complexity, business model; risk profile and scope of operations.  Savings associations are required to have comprehensive policies and procedures that govern all aspects of their IRR management process and that address the potential impact of changing interest rates on earnings and capital from a short-term and a long-term perspective. Stress testing is an integral component of IRR management.  The Bank’s IRR program incorporates a stress-testing process to identify and quantify The Washington Savings Bank’s IRR exposure and potential problem areas.
 
Deposit Insurance
 
Deposit accounts in The Washington Savings Bank are insured by the FDIC generally up to a maximum of $250,000 per separately insured depositor.  FDIC-insured depository institutions are required to pay deposit insurance assessments to the FDIC.  The amount of a particular institution’s deposit insurance assessment is based on that institution’s risk classification under an FDIC risk-based assessment system.  Under the FDIC’s risk-based assessment system, insured institutions are assigned to one of four risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other risk factors. Rates are based on each institution’s risk category and certain specified risk adjustments.  Deposit insurance assessments fund the Deposit Insurance Fund, which is currently under-funded.
 
The Dodd-Frank Act changed the way an insured depository institution’s deposit insurance premiums are calculated.  The assessment base is no longer the institution’s deposit base, but rather its average consolidated total assets less its average tangible equity.  The legislation also permanently increased the maximum amount of deposit insurance for banks, savings institutions and credit unions to $250,000 per depositor, retroactive to January 1, 2008, and noninterest bearing transaction accounts have unlimited deposit insurance through December 31, 2012.  The Dodd-Frank Act also made changes to the minimum designated reserve ratio of the Deposit Insurance Fund, increasing the minimum from 1.15% percent to 1.35% of the estimated amount of total insured deposits, eliminating the upper limit for the reserve ratio designated by the FDIC each year, and eliminating the requirement that the FDIC pay dividends to depository institutions when the reserve ratio exceeds certain thresholds.
 
As mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act, in February 2011, the FDIC approved a final rule that changes the deposit insurance assessment system from one that is based on domestic deposits to one that is based on average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity.  In addition, the rule adopts a “scorecard” assessment scheme for larger banks and suspends dividend payments indefinitely if the Deposit Insurance Fund reserve ratio exceeds 1.5% percent, but provides for decreasing assessment rates when the reserve ratio reaches certain thresholds.  Under the new rule, larger insured depository institutions generally pay higher assessments than under the old system, which should offset the cost of the assessment increases for institutions with consolidated assets of less than $10 billion, such as The Washington Savings Bank.
 
In 2009, the FDIC imposed a 5 basis point special assessment on each insured depository institution’s insurance assets minus Tier 1 capital (core capital) as of June 30, 2009, not to exceed 10 basis points of the institution’s domestic deposits.  This special assessment was collected on September 30, 2009. The FDIC also adopted a final rule requiring insured institutions to prepay quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009, and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012.  The pre-payment allowed the FDIC to strengthen the cash position of the Deposit Insurance Fund immediately without impacting earnings of the industry.  The Washington Savings Bank paid the prepaid assessments, along with The Washington Savings Bank’s regular quarterly assessment, on December 30, 2009.  As of September 30, 2012, $337,000 in pre-paid deposit insurance assessments is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
 
In addition to FDIC deposit insurance assessments, all FDIC-insured depository institutions must also pay an annual assessment to interest payments on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation, a federal corporation chartered under the authority of the Federal Housing Finance Board. The bonds (commonly referred to as “FICO bonds”) were issued to capitalize the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation.  The Financing Corporation payments will continue until the bonds mature in 2017 through 2019.  Our FICO expense payments totaled $742,000 in 2011 and $1.2 million in 2010.
 
 
 
238

 
 
 
The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution, including The Washington Savings Bank, if it determines after a hearing that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed by an agreement with the FDIC.  It also may suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for the permanent termination of insurance, if the institution has no tangible capital.  If insurance of accounts is terminated, the accounts at the institution at the time of the termination, less subsequent withdrawals, shall continue to be insured for a period of six months to two years, as determined by the FDIC.  Our management is not aware of any existing circumstances which would result in termination of The Washington Savings Bank’s deposit insurance.
 
Restrictions on Capital Distributions
 
OCC regulations govern capital distributions by a federal savings bank, which include cash dividends, stock repurchases and other transactions charged to the capital account.  A savings bank must file an application for approval of a capital distribution if: (1) the total capital distributions for the applicable calendar year exceed the sum of the savings bank’s net income for that year to date plus the savings bank’s retained net income for the preceding two years; (2) the bank would not be at least adequately capitalized following the distribution; (3) the distribution would violate any applicable statute, regulation, agreement or OCC-imposed condition; or (4) the savings bank is not eligible for expedited treatment of its filings.  Even if an application is not otherwise required, every savings bank that is a subsidiary of a holding company must file a notice with the Federal Reserve Board at least 30 days before the board of directors declares a dividend or approves a capital distribution.  The OCC may disapprove a notice or application if: (1) the savings bank would be undercapitalized following the distribution; (2) the proposed capital distribution raises safety and soundness concerns; or (3) the capital distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any statute, regulation or agreement.
 
Federal Reserve System.
 
Pursuant to regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, a thrift institution must maintain non-interest bearing reserves at the Federal Reserve Bank or in a pass-through account at a correspondent institution, calculated daily, equal to 3% of its "low reserve tranche," currently the first $71.0 million of transaction accounts (less a $11.5 million exclusion).  Amounts above $71.0 million require reserves of $1,785,000 plus 10 percent of the amount in excess of $71.0 million.  We have consistently met the reserve requirements.
 
Federal Home Loan Bank System
 
The Washington Savings Bank is a member of the FHLB of Atlanta, which is one of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks.  FHLB banks provide a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. At September 30, 2012, The Washington Savings Bank had advances of $68.0 million from the FHLB of Atlanta.  The FHLB borrowings are collateralized by a blanket collateral loan agreement under which we must maintain minimum eligible collateral for the outstanding advances.
 
As a member, The Washington Savings Bank is also required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB of Atlanta.  The Washington Savings Bank was compliant with this requirement with an investment in FHLB of Atlanta stock at September 30, 2012 of $3.6 million.

Safety and Soundness Standards
 
We are subject to certain standards designed to maintain the safety and soundness of individual banks and the banking system.  The OCC has prescribed safety and soundness guidelines relating to: (i) internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems; (ii) loan documentation; (iii) credit underwriting; (iv) interest rate exposure; (v) asset growth, concentration and quality; (vi) earnings; and (vii) compensation and benefit standards for officers, directors, employees and principal stockholders.  A federal savings institution not meeting one or more of the safety and soundness guidelines may be required to file a compliance plan with the OCC.  Failure to implement such a plan can result in further enforcement action, including the issuance of a cease and desist order or the imposition of civil money penalties.
 
Community Reinvestment Act
 
In 1977, Congress enacted the Community Reinvestment Act to encourage depository institutions, including thrifts, to help meet the credit needs of their entire communities, including low- and moderate-income areas, consistent with safe and sound banking practices.  Because The Washington Savings Bank meets the OCC’s definition of an “intermediate small savings association,” i.e., those with more than $274 million in assets, but less than $1.098 billion in assets as of the end of either of the two previous years, The Washington Savings Bank is subject to somewhat streamlined examinations and reduced data collection and regulatory reporting requirements under the Community Reinvestment Act, relative to large retail savings associations.  As a result, The Washington Savings Bank qualifies for the intermediate small institution Community Reinvestment Act examinations, based on its present asset size.  Standard Community Reinvestment Act examinations evaluate depository institutions under lending, investment and community service tests.  Intermediate small institutions’ examinations, however, focus mainly on the lending activities of depository institutions, and also evaluate community development activities of the institution, such as community development loans, investments, and services.
 
The Washington Savings Bank received a “satisfactory” Community Reinvestment Act rating in its most recent federal examination.
 
Loans-to-One-Borrower Limitations
 
Generally, a federal savings bank may not make a loan or extend credit to a single borrower or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus.  An additional amount may be loaned, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral, which generally does not include real estate.  As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with loans-to-one-borrower limitations.
 
Transactions with Related Parties
 
Under Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, which are applicable to savings banks, extensions of credit and certain asset purchases between a savings bank and its affiliates are restricted.  An affiliate of a bank is a company that controls or is under common control with the bank, except, in most instances, subsidiaries of the bank itself.  In a holding company context, the parent savings and loan holding company and any companies that are controlled by such savings and loan holding company are affiliates of the subsidiary savings bank.  The general purpose of these restrictions is to prevent a savings bank from subsidizing its affiliates that are not insured by the FDIC through transactions that are excessive in amount, on preferential terms, or otherwise unsafe and unsound.  Under Section 23A, The Washington Savings Bank is not able to engage in “covered transactions” with any single affiliate if the aggregate amount of its covered transactions with that affiliate exceeds 10% of The Washington Savings Bank’s capital and surplus, or with all of The Washington Savings Bank’s affiliates collectively if the aggregate amount of our covered transactions with all affiliates exceeds 20% of our capital and surplus.  A transaction with a third party is deemed to be a covered transaction to the extent that the proceeds of the transaction are used for the benefit of or transferred to an affiliate.  The term “covered transaction” includes the making of loans, purchase of assets, issuance of guarantees and other similar transactions.  In addition, loans or other extensions of credit by The Washington Savings Bank to an affiliate are required to be collateralized in accordance with regulatory requirements, and The Washington Savings Bank’s transactions with affiliates must be consistent with safe and sound banking practices and may not involve the purchase by The Washington Savings Bank of any low-quality asset.  Section 23B applies to covered transactions as well as certain other transactions and requires that all such transactions be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable, to the institution or subsidiary as those provided to non-affiliates.  Dividends and fees paid by us are not defined as covered transactions and are not subject to section 23A and 23B restrictions, but are subject to the capital distribution restrictions noted above.
 
 
 
240

 
 
 
Certain transactions with affiliates are prohibited altogether.  For example, The Washington Savings Bank may not purchase or invest in securities issued by any of its affiliates.  Other transactions are subject to full or partial exemptions.  For example, purchasing an asset having a readily identifiable and publicly available market quotation and purchased at or below the asset’s current market quotation is exempt from the quantitative limits, collateral requirements and low-quality asset restrictions of Section 23A.
 
Section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O of the Federal Reserve Board govern extensions of credit made by a bank to its directors, executive officers, and principal stockholders (“insiders”).  Among other things, these provisions require that extensions of credit to insiders be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons and that do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features.  Further, such extensions may not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of The Washington Savings Bank’s capital.  Extensions of credit in excess of certain limits must be also be approved by the board of directors.
 
Consumer Protection Laws
 
The Washington Savings 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.  Further under the “Interagency Guidelines Establishing Information Security Standards,” savings banks must implement a comprehensive information security program that includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information.  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.
 
Anti-Money Laundering and OFAC
 
Under federal law, financial institutions must maintain anti-money laundering programs that include established internal policies, procedures and controls; a designated compliance officer, an ongoing employee training program and testing of the program by an independent audit function.  Financial institutions are also prohibited from entering into specified financial transactions and account relationships and must meet enhanced standards for due diligence and customer identification in their dealings with foreign financial institutions and foreign customers.  Financial institutions must take reasonable steps to conduct enhanced scrutiny of account relationships to guard against money laundering and to report any suspicious transactions, and law enforcement authorities have been granted increased access to financial information maintained by financial institutions.  Bank regulators routinely examine institutions for compliance with these obligations, and they must consider an institution’s compliance in connection with the regulatory review of applications, including applications for banking mergers and acquisitions.  The regulatory authorities have imposed “cease and desist” orders and civil money penalty sanctions against institutions found to be violating these obligations.
 
 
 
241

 
 
 
The Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, is responsible for helping to insure that U.S. entities do not engage in transactions with certain prohibited parties, as defined by various Executive Orders and Acts of Congress.  OFAC sends bank regulatory agencies lists of persons and organizations suspected of aiding, harboring or engaging in terrorist acts, known as Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons.  If WSB Holdings or The Washington Savings Bank finds a name on any transaction, account, or wire transfer that is on an OFAC list, they must freeze such account, file a suspicious activity report and notify the appropriate authorities.
 
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 our business may be affected by any new regulation or statute.
 
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 financial institutions 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.
 
Properties
 
We operate five savings branch locations in Bowie, Crofton, Millersville, Odenton, and Waldorf, Maryland.  Space for three of our branches, Millersville, Odenton and Waldorf, are under long-term leases with third parties.  We have exercised our five-year option to extend our Waldorf lease for 2,700 square feet and the lease now expires in April 2017.  Our Millersville lease is for a 1,628 square foot parcel of land on which our Millersville office is located.  We currently own the Millersville building and the land lease expires in March 2013.  Our Odenton lease for 3,167 square feet expires in November 2014.  The 570 square foot Crofton branch was purchased by the Bank in July 1995.
 
Our corporate, administrative, and accounting offices are located in a five story building in Bowie owned by WSB.  We also operate a branch of the Bank at this location.  At September 30, 2012, 85% of the Bowie building's residual space was occupied, of which 42% is tenant occupied and 43% is occupied by WSB Holdings and The Washington Savings Bank staff.  Also located in our corporate headquarters are our Commercial Lending Group and our Retail Mortgage Group.
 
Legal Proceedings
 
See the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Litigation Related to the Merger” for information about litigation relating to the merger in which WSB Holdings and each of its directors are named as defendants.  In addition, from time to time we may be involved in ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business.  We are not, however, involved in any legal proceedings, other than as discussed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the outcome of which, in management’s opinion, would be material to our financial condition or results operations.

WSB HOLDINGS, INC. – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
Some of the matters discussed below include forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements often use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “plans,” “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 no 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 reason discussed below and under the heading “Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”  The following discussion is intended to further your understanding of WSB Holdings’ consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
 
As used in this section of the joint proxy statement/prospectus, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to WSB Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and the term “Bank” refers to The Washington Savings Bank, F.S.B.
 
Overview
 
We operate a general commercial banking business, attracting deposit customers from the general public and using such funds, together with other borrowed funds, to make loans, with an emphasis currently on residential mortgage lending.  Our results of operations are primarily determined by the difference between the interest income and fees earned on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities.  The difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities is known as net interest-rate spread.  Our principal expense generally is the interest we pay on deposits and other borrowings.  The difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities is referred to as net interest income.  Net interest income is significantly affected by general economic conditions and by policies of state and federal regulatory authorities and the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board.  Our net income is also affected by the level of our non-interest income, including loan-related fees, deposit-based fees, rental income, operations of our service corporation subsidiary, gain on sale of real estate acquired in settlement of loans, gain on the sale of investment securities and gain on sale of loans, as well as our non-interest and tax expenses.
 
As previously discussed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, WSB Holdings and The Bank are operating under written agreements with their primary banking regulators.
 
Our principal expense is the interest we pay on deposits and borrowings.  Net interest income is significantly affected by general economic conditions and by policies of state and federal regulatory authorities and the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board.  Our net income is also affected by the level of our other income, including loan related fees, gain on sale of loans, deposit-based fees, rental income, operations of the Bank’s service corporation subsidiary, gains on sales of OREO, gains on sales of loans and investment securities as well as operating and tax expenses.
 
Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, banks have been permitted to pay interest on demand deposit accounts, including those from businesses, since July 21, 2011.  While we have not yet experienced any impact from this provision on our operations, if our competitors were to start paying interest on these accounts it is possible that our interest expense associated with deposits could increase, or that there could be additional impacts on the Bank’s allocation of deposits, deposit pricing, loan pricing, net interest margin, ability to compete, ability to establish and maintain customer relationships, and profitability.
 
 
 
243

 
 
 
During this continuing period of economic slowdown, the effects of which, including declining real estate values resulting in asset impairment and tightening liquidity, has particularly impacted the banking industry in general, management continues to stress credit quality within both our loan and investment portfolios.  The Bank originates residential loans for its portfolio and for sale in the secondary market.  We had previously focused on diversifying our loan portfolio by broadening our lending emphasis to include commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans.  Recently, however, as demand for these and other areas of lending have slowed, we again are focusing on increasing our mortgage activity in order to reduce balance sheet risk as well as to realize gains on the sale of loans in the secondary market.  As a result, our portfolios of commercial business, commercial real estate, and residential land development loans to commercial borrowers have decreased.  We also use available funds to retain certain higher yielding fixed rate residential mortgage loans in our portfolio in order to improve interest income.  Although we intend to again focus on diversifying our loan portfolio when demand for these other areas of loans picks up, we believe that our continued efforts to expand our residential mortgage lending department are important to ensure future profitability based on the current slow demand for commercial lending.  Management believes that interest rates and general economic conditions nationally and in our market area are most likely to have a significant impact on our results of operations.  We carefully evaluate all loan applications in an attempt to minimize our credit risk exposure by obtaining a thorough application with enhanced approval procedures; however, there is no assurance that this process can reduce lending risks.
 
Management reviews models and has established benchmark rates and assures that we remain within the limits.  If the limits exceed the established benchmark rate, management develops a plan to bring interest rate risk back within the limits.
 
Our management considers return on average assets and equity as a measure of our earnings performance. Return on average assets measures the ability to utilize our assets to generate income. However, current economic conditions such as unemployment or declining real estate values may have a significant impact on our ability to utilize those assets.  Return on average assets and equity.  Key measures of earnings performance for nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, is as follows:

We are continually seeking to increase our core deposits and advertise our lower-cost NOW accounts, no fee checking incentives, overdraft protection program and variable money market savings account priced to current interest rates, as well as the advantages of customer access to ATM networks.  During 2011, our interest rates on money market and checking accounts were slightly higher than our competitors, but lower CD rates than in the past negatively affected renewals for CDs as management has focused on lowering deposit costs through lower CD rates and reduced brokered deposits.  Our money market and checking accounts increased approximately $_12.9 million and our CDs decreased approximately $9.8 million during the first nine months of 2012, which slightly increased our total deposits to $247.3 million.   Our brokered deposits decreased by $5.0 million as a result of maturities that were not renewed.  During 2011, our money market and checking accounts increased approximately $30.3 million and our CDs decreased $50.5 million, which decreased our overall total deposits to $245.0 million at December 31, 2011, an 8.1% decrease in total deposits as compared to $266.6 million at December 31, 2010.  This resulted in a decrease in our interest expense on deposits by approximately $938,000 compared to the same nine-month period of 2011, and $995,800 for 2011 compared to 2010.  This is the result of our continued efforts to reduce our higher cost liabilities.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our borrowings decreased by $16.0 million as a result of an $8.0 million maturity and an $8.0 million repayment of the daily rate credit advance.  During the period ended December 31, 2011, our borrowings increased by $8.0 million as a result of a new FHLB advance for $8.0 million in daily rate credit.  We took this advance to meet our funding needs as our brokered deposits matured.  Our interest expense on our borrowings decreased approximately $1.4 million and $2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.  This decrease is due to the restructuring of our borrowings pursuant to which we elected the repayment of $30.0 million of our reverse repurchase agreements, resulting in a pre-payment penalty of approximately $2.0 million, during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Both basic and diluted EPS amounts are shown on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.  However, “basic” earnings per share is utilized in this report’s narrative when per share amounts are listed, unless otherwise stated.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP.  The preparation of such financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred.  A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability.  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.  We use historical loss factors as one factor in determining an inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio.  Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use.  In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another.  Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The allowance for loan and lease losses has two basic components: a general reserve reflecting historical losses by loan category, as adjusted by several factors, the effects of which are not reflected in historical loss ratios, and specific allowances for separately identified loans.  Each of these components, and the systematic allowance methodology used to establish them, are described in detail in Note 1 of the Notes to WSB Holdings Consolidated Financial Statements included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.  The amount of the allowance is reviewed monthly by the Executive Committee of WSB Holdings’ board of directors and formally approved quarterly by the full board of directors.
 
The general reserve portion of the allowance that is based upon historical loss factors, as adjusted, establishes allowances for the major loan categories based upon adjusted historical loss experience over the prior four quarters.  The use of these historical loss factors is intended to reduce the differences between estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio and actual losses.  The challenges caused by the recent recession and continuing high unemployment levels and uncertain real estate valuations, have resulted in the Bank shortening the loss history look back period it uses for the allowance for loan losses from 36 months to 12 months during 2010.  The factors used to adjust the historical loss ratios address changes in the risk characteristics of our loan portfolio that are related to (1) trends in delinquencies and other non-performing loans, (2) changes in the risk level of the loan portfolio related to large loans, (3) changes in the categories of loans comprising the loan portfolio, (4) concentrations of loans to specific industry segments, (5) changes in economic conditions on both a local and national level, (6) changes in our credit administration and loan and lease portfolio management processes, and (7) quality of our credit risk identification processes.  This general reserve component comprised 68.4% of the total allowance at September 30, 2012, 52.1% of the total allowance at December 31, 2011 and 44.3% of the total allowance at December 31, 2010.

The specific allowance is used primarily to establish allowances for risk-rated credits on an individual basis, primarily our impaired loans, and accounted for 31.6% of the total allowance at September 30, 2012, 47.9% of the total allowance at December 31, 2011 and 55.7% of the total allowance at December 31, 2010.  The actual occurrence and severity of losses involving risk-rated credits can differ substantially from estimates, and some risk-rated credits may not be identified.  Our policy is to charge off all or that portion of our investment in an impaired loan upon a determination that it is probable the full amount will not be collected.  Our prior primary regulator allowed a specific reserve to be established on our impaired loans, of which reduced our reportable principle balances on collateral dependent loans; as a result of the change in the Bank’s primary regulator from the OTS to the OCC, however, the impaired loan balances were reduced to reflect partial charge offs in order to be compliant with OCC guidance now applicable to the Bank, resulting in a reduction of our reserves.  This process was completed during the first quarter of 2012.
 
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Securities
 
We review all investment securities with significant declines in fair value for potential other-than-temporary impairment on a periodic basis.  We record an impairment charge when we believe an investment has experienced a decline in value that is other than temporary.  Generally changes in market interest rates that result in a decline in value of an investment security are considered to be temporary, since the value of such investment can recover in the foreseeable future as market interest rates return to their original levels.  However, such declines in value that are due to the underlying credit quality of the issuer or other adverse conditions that cannot be expected to improve in the foreseeable future, may be considered to be other than temporary.  Management believes this is a critical accounting policy because this evaluation of the underlying credit or analysis of other conditions contributing to the decline in the value involves a high degree of complexity and requires us to make subjective judgments that often require assumptions or estimates about various matters.  The valuation process and OTTI determination, assumptions related to prepayment, default and severity on the collateral supporting the non-agency MBSs are input into an industry standard valuation model.
 
Voluntary Prepayment Rate .  This is based primarily on historical activity.  As most of these instruments move toward a voluntary baseline prepayment (VPR) stream from the previous year, recent history gives a good and conservative estimate of future voluntary prepayment results.
 
Current Default Rates .  This is based primarily on the performance of the collateral historical data when considering the performance of both the collateral pool and the entire MBS collateral pool.  Estimates for the current default rate (CDR) vectors are based on the status of the loans at the valuation date – current, 30-59 days delinquent, 60-89 days delinquent, 90+ days delinquent, foreclosure or OREO.
 
Default assumptions are benchmarked to the recent results experienced by major servicers of non-Agency MBS for securities with similar attributes and forecasts from other industry experts and industry research.
 
Loss Severity Rate .  Management obtains the individual security’s historical data.  The data will recognize most recent monthly realized loss severity rates (SEV) by issuer and origination year, which are surveyed, then using the most recent severity result to build an assumption.
 
Management reviews this current information to see if there are any underlying trends with the assumption that the current performance is believed to be the best indicator of future collateral performance.  The collateral performance obtained from these Bloomberg screens for each tranche within the security is reviewed to determine the likelihood there will be a credit loss based on the collateral performance.  If there have not been any loans in default for a period of time and there are no serious delinquencies, we determine that there is no current OTTI.  If however, there is some stress in the underlying collateral (evidenced by losses in the most recent periods and some level of current delinquencies), and considering management’s general knowledge of the trends in the residential mortgage markets, which takes into account current economic conditions and negative credit trends, management determines projected future CDR, SEV and VPR figures, which we then provide to our third party brokerage firm for input into their model.  Using these new assumptions, the model determines the future credit loss and the projected loss is then discounted back to the present value based on the current book yield of the investment.

We account for income taxes under the asset/liability method.  Deferred tax assets are recognized for the future consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period indicated by the enactment date.  A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets when, in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become realizable.  The judgment about the level of future taxable income is dependent to a great extent on matters that may, at least in part, be beyond our control.  It is at least reasonably possible that management’s judgment about the need for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets could change in the near term.
 
Consolidated Results of Operations
 
General
 
Three and nine months ended September 30, 2012
 
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $4,000, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $410,000 or $0.05 per basic share and diluted share for the same three month period of 2011.  Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $448,000, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, compared to net earnings of $966,000, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share for the corresponding 2011 period.  Net income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, represent decreases $414,000, or 101%, and $518,000, or 54%, respectively, over the same periods of 2011.
 
The decrease in net earnings for the three month period is primarily the result of a $462,000 decrease in net interest income, a $232,000 decrease in non-interest income and an increase of $211,000 in non-interest expenses as compared to the same three month period of 2011.  The decrease in net interest income is primarily the result of the reduction of our loan portfolio classified as held for investment due to loan payoffs.  The primary reason for the decrease in non-interest income during the three month period is a decrease in the gain on sale of investment securities available for sale.  The increase in non-interest expense for the three month period is primarily the result of increases of $97,000 in the provision for losses on real estate acquired in settlement of loans, $86,000 in salaries and benefits and $61,000 in professional fees. The decrease in net earnings for the nine month period is primarily the result of a $901,000 decrease in net interest income and a $288,000 decrease in non-interest income, partially offset by a decrease of $107,000 in non-interest expenses.  The decrease in net interest income is primarily the result of the reduction of our loan portfolio classified as held for investment due to loan payoffs that occurred during the nine month period ending September 30, 2012 as well as a decrease in the yield on the portfolio.  The decrease in non-interest income is the result of a loss on the sale of investment securities for the period ending September 30, 2012 as compared to a gain on the sale of investments for the same nine month period of 2011, partially offset by increases in most other components of non-interest income.  The decrease in non-interest expenses is primarily the result of decreases in FDIC premiums and salaries and benefits.  As we continue to experience low loan demand there has been a decrease in our total loans held-for-investments portfolio which has contributed to our interest income decreasing by 15% and 10%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  Also, during the nine month period ending September 30, 2012, interest income decreased as a result of a decrease in both the balance and yield in our loan portfolio classified as held for sale, offsetting the decrease in interest expense, primarily as a result of the continued efforts to reduce our higher cost liabilities.
 
Year ended December 31, 2011 compared to year ended December 31, 2010
 
Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $1.2 million, or $0.16 per basic share, compared to net loss of $3.9 million, or $(0.49) per basic share, for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
The increase in net earnings for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011, is primarily the result of adding $200,000 to our allowance for loan losses in the 2011 period compared to $3.4 million during the corresponding 2010 period as well as a $3.0 million increase in non-interest income and a $2.6 million decrease in non-interest expenses in 2011 compared to 2010.  Non-interest income reflects a 443% increase primarily as a result of a $2.9 million other than temporary impairment charge on a non-agency mortgage-backed security recognized during third quarter of 2010, for which there was no comparable charge during 2011.  Non-interest expense reflects a 16% decrease primarily as a result of the $2.0 million one-time pre-payment penalty that we recognized during the second quarter of 2010, for which there was no comparable expense during 2011.

Interest Income/Expense; Net Interest Income
 
Three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to three and nine months ended September 30, 2011
 
Total interest income decreased $753,000, or 16.4%, and $1.8 million, or 13.3%, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2012, compared to the corresponding periods of 2011, due primarily to a decrease in both the average volume and average yield on interest-earning assets.
 
The nine month average balance of interest-earning assets decreased to $338.5 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2012 from $361.6 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2011, due primarily to a decrease in loans held for investment and investment securities, offsetting an increase in MBS.  The decrease in loans held-for-investment is primarily the result principal paydowns. The decrease in investment securities is the result of approximately $33.5 million called agency securities, the sale of a $2.5 million agency security and the sale of $5.0 million of corporate bonds offset by $10.0 million in purchases of callable agencies.  The increase in MBS is the result of purchases of MBS, partially offset by the sale of other MBS.  The short-term investment securities that were called and sold during the nine month period were reinvested in mortgage-backed securities to increase the yield spread.  In accordance with the merger agreement, we are repositioning a portion of our investment portfolio by selling existing securities that may result in an adjustment to the total consideration to be paid in the merger, based on adjustments relating to the value of our investment portfolio as set forth in the merger agreement, if such securities remain in our portfolio, as well as purchasing new securities with Old Line Bancshares’ consent.  We expect to continue to reposition the investment portfolio in order to attempt to minimize any potential adjustment to the total consideration paid to our stockholders upon closing of the merger.
 
The average yield on our interest-earning assets decreased to 4.74% during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from 5.12% during the same period in 2011.  The decrease is primarily the result of lower interest rates on interest earnings assets including our loans held for investment, MBS and investment securities compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011 due to a lower interest rate environment.  In addition, our troubled debt restructured loans increased by approximately $6.9 million from September 30, 2011 to September 30, 2012, and such loans had significantly lower interest rates after such restructuring, which also negatively impacted the yield on our interest-earning assets in the 2012 period.
 
Total interest expense decreased $291,000, or 20.2%, and $938,000, or 20.4%, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, compared to the same periods in the prior year.  The decrease was attributable to a decrease in both the average balance, resulting primarily from the maturities of approximately $5.0 million in our brokered certificate of deposits since September 30, 2011, and the average interest rate on our interest-bearing liabilities.  For the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, our average interest-bearing liabilities were $307.6 million with an average rate of 1.59%, compared to $333.6 million with an average rate of 1.85% for the corresponding 2011 period.
 
Net interest income decreased $462,000, or 14.6%, and $901,000, or 9.7%, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, compared to the same periods in the prior year.  Due to a lower average yield on our interest earning assets and a lower average cost on our interest-bearing liabilities, our net interest rate spread decreased to 3.15% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 from 3.27% for the same period in the prior year.  The ratio of our interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities increased to 110.04% at September 30, 2012 from 108.41% at September 30, 2011.
 
We continue to experience pressure on the compression of our interest rate margins due to slowing demand for loans and lower yields on loan originations and investment security offerings, however, the effects of this have been minimized by our ability to decrease interest rate expense through lower deposit costs.  This lower interest rate environment for loans and investment securities compresses the interest rate spread by reducing interest income.  Interest rate margins may be further enhanced when and if economic conditions begin to become more favorable to lending and funds currently held in investment securities can be redirected back into the loan portfolio.
 
 
Year ended December 31, 2011 compared to year ended December 31, 2010
 
During 2011, net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased $55,000 or .5%, to $12.3 million from $12.4 million for 2010.  The decrease in interest income of $2.4 million was offset by a decrease of $2.4 million in interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
 
 
 
250

 
 
 
The decrease in interest income during 2011 is due to a decrease in the average balance and, to a lesser extent, average rates paid on our interest-earning assets during 2011 as compared to 2010.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, the average balance of our total interest-earnings assets decreased to $358.8 million from $379.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 while the average yield on our interest-earning assets decreased to 5.08% from 5.46% for the year ended December 31, 2010.  These decreases are primarily the result of a decrease in the average balance of our mortgage-backed securities and loan portfolio offsetting the increase in our investment securities as compared to the prior year.  The decrease in MBS is primarily the result of principal pay-downs and the sale of approximately $11.0 million of our MBS.  Our loan portfolio average also decreased as a result of a reduction in our commercial real estate loans.  The increase in the available-for-sale investment securities during 2011 was due to the purchase of approximately $65.5 million offset by the sale of $10.0 million and calls of $32.0 million of our investment securities. The sold securities were sold at a premium and we used the proceeds to purchase MBS.  The decrease in the average yield is primarily the result of lower interest rates on our MBS portfolio and investment portfolio compared to the prior year due to a lower interest rate environment.  In addition, we experienced an increase in our restructured loans compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, which also negatively impacted the yield on our interest-earning assets.
 
The interest expense decrease during 2011 is attributable to a decrease in the average interest rate on our interest-bearing liabilities, particularly a decrease in the interest rate paid on borrowings, and to a lesser extent a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities.  The decrease in the average balance and average rate paid on borrowings was primarily due to the restructuring of our FHLB borrowings and repayment of $30.0 million of reverse repurchase agreement during 2010.  The average rate paid on deposits decreased during 2011 primarily due to the reduction of interest rates on our CDs.  The average cost of deposits decreased to 1.55% during 2011 from 1.96% during 2010 and the average cost of our borrowings decreased to 2.66% during 2011 from 3.45% during 2010 resulting in our average cost of our interest-bearing liabilities decreasing to 1.82% for the year ended December 31, 2011 from 2.40% for the year ended December 31, 2010.  In addition, the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to $329.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $349.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Average borrowings decreased $21.0 million as the result of the repayment of $30.0 million in reverse repurchase agreements and restructuring of our FHLB advances.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, total deposits decreased $21.5 million primarily due to a decrease in our CDs partially offset by an increase in savings deposits.  The decrease in time deposits was a result of runoff in our brokered deposits due to our not retaining new brokered deposits as existing ones matured.  The increase in savings accounts is due to increased rates offered on these products compared to our competitors, which resulted in new customer deposits during the year.  At December 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010, our time deposits were $103.5 million and $154.0 million, respectively, and the corresponding interest expense on these deposits during 2011 and 2010 was approximately $2.7 million and $3.8 million, respectively.  This total at December 31, 2011, included five accounts totaling approximately $19.8 million of deposits received through brokers.  These funds were primarily used to fund loan originations and purchase investments.  These brokered accounts consist of individual accounts issued under master certificates in the broker’s name.  These types of accounts are covered by FDIC insurance.  We did not retain additional brokered deposits to replace all of the runoff during 2011 as we didn’t need to replenish the lost deposits at that time as a result of having access to other funding sources.  The interest rates on these brokered deposits are similar to our posted rates or less than the borrowed fund rates for similar terms.  As a result, we anticipate we will increase brokered deposits as a source of funding as needed in the future.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses
 
Our loan portfolio is subject to varying degrees of credit risk.  We seek to mitigate this risk through portfolio diversification and limiting exposure to any single customer or industry.  We maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  The amount of the allowance is based on careful, continuous review and evaluation of the loan portfolio, along with monthly and quarterly assessments of the probable losses inherent in that portfolio. The amount of the allowance is reviewed monthly by the Loan Committee and reviewed and approved monthly by the Bank’s board of directors. The methodology for determining the appropriate amount of the allowance includes:  (1) a formula allowance reflecting historical losses by credit category; (2) the specific allowance for risk rated credits on an individual or portfolio basis; and (3) a non-specific allowance which considers risk factors not evaluated by the other two components of the methodology.  Additions to the allowance are made through periodic charges to income (provision for loan losses), and actual loan losses are charged against the allowance, while recoveries are added to the allowance.
 
 
 
251

 
 
 
Each of the components of the allowance for loan losses is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the actual events occur.  The specific allowance is used to individually allocate an allowance for loans identified for impairment testing.  Impairment testing includes consideration of the borrower’s overall financial condition, resources and payment record, support available from financial guarantors and the fair market value of collateral.  These factors are combined to estimate the probability and severity of inherent losses.  When an impairment is identified, a specific reserve is established based on our calculation of the loss embedded in the individual loan.  Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.  Accordingly, we do not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment.  The formula allowance is used for estimating the loss on those loans internally classified as high risk exclusive of those identified for impairment testing. The Bank categorizes its classified assets within four categories: Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. Special Mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s attention.  These loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to currently warrant adverse classification. Substandard loans are loans that have a well-defined weakness.  They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The Doubtful category consists of loans where we expect a loss, but not a total loss.  Various subjective factors are considered with the most important consideration being the estimated underlying value of the collateral in determining the loss reserve for these loans. Loans that are classified as “Loss” are fully reserved for on our financial statements, while we establish a prudent allowance for loan losses for loans classified as “Substandard” or “Doubtful” and “Special Mention.”  The loans meeting the criteria for classification as special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss, as well as impaired loans are segregated from performing loans within the portfolio.  Internally classified loans are then grouped by loan type (commercial, commercial real estate, commercial construction, residential real estate, residential construction or installment).  Each loan type is assigned an allowance factor based on management’s estimate of the associated risk, complexity and size of the individual loans within the particular loan category.  Classified loans are part of the formula allowance and are assigned a higher allowance factor than non-classified loans due to management’s concerns regarding collectability or management’s knowledge of particular elements surrounding the borrower.  Allowance factors grow with the worsening of the internal risk rating.  The non-specific formula is used to estimate the loss of non-classified loans and loans identified for impairment testing for which no impairment was identified.  These loans are also segregated by loan type and allowance factors are assigned by management based on delinquencies, loss history, trends in volume and terms of loans, effects of changes in lending policy, the experience and depth of management, national and local economic trends, concentrations of credit, quality of loan review system and the effect of external factors (i.e. competition and regulatory requirements).  The factors assigned differ by loan type.
 
We have 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, a borrower’s prospects of repayment, and in establishing allowance factors on the formula allowance and nonspecific allowance components.  The establishment of allowance factors is a continuing exercise, based on management’s continuing assessment of the global factors discussed above and their impact on the portfolio, and allowance factors may change from period to period, 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 will have a direct impact on the amount of the provision, and a corresponding effect on net earnings.  Errors in management’s perception and assessment of the global factors and their impact on the portfolio could result in the allowance not being adequate to cover losses in the portfolio, and may result in additional provisions or charge-offs.
 
The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses, which are charged to expense.  Charge-offs of loan amounts determined by management to be uncollectible or impaired decrease the allowance, while recoveries of loans previously charged-off are added back to the allowance.  We make provisions for loan losses in amounts considered by management necessary to maintain the allowance at an appropriate level to cover its estimate of losses inherent and probable in the loan portfolio, as established by use of the allowance methodology.  Under the methodology, we consider trends in credit risk against broad categories of homogenous loans, as well as a loan by loan review of loans criticized or classified by management.  Classified loans exceeding $300,000 are individually evaluated quarterly as part of the calculation of the adequacy of the allowance.  The provision for loan losses was $200,000 in 2011 compared to $3.4 million in 2010.  Based on our review, no provision was necessary for either the three- or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012.

During 2010, management determined to increase the amount of the allowance as a result of new appraisals that showed a decreased value for the collateral securing some of our loans resulting in a provision of $3.4 million.  The challenges caused by the recent recession and continuing high unemployment levels and uncertain real estate valuations resulted in the Bank shortening its loss history look-back period used for the allowance for loan losses from 36 months to 12 months during 2010.  During 2011, management again determined that based on updated appraisals on some of our loans, an additional provision was needed of $200,000.  As of December 31, 2011, the allowance decreased by $4.1 million, or 40%, to $6.1 million or 2.90% of the loan portfolio from $10.2 million or 4.37% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2010.  The change in the allowance was primarily due to the fact that the risk profile of our loan portfolio has improved as well as the reduction of our loan portfolio balance classified as held-for-investment, particularly our commercial secured by real estate loans.  However, approximately $1.6 million of the charge-offs were related to reducing the specific reserve on our collateral dependent loans based on the OCC guidance newly applicable to us.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the allowance decreased by $2.8 million or 45.3%, to $3.4 million at September 30, 2012 from $6.1 million at December 31, 2011, as a result of net charge-offs of approximately $2.8 million during the nine months ending September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2012, the allowance was 1.79% of total loans held-for-investment, compared to 2.90% of total loans held-for-investment at December 31, 2011.  The change in the allowance was primarily due to the fact that the risk profile of our loan portfolio has improved as well as the reduction of our loan portfolio balance classified as held-for-investment, particularly our commercial secured by real estate loans.  However, $2.6 million in charge-offs were related to eliminating the specific reserve on our collateral dependent loans in 2012 based on OCC guidance newly applicable to us compared to the specific reserve balances that existed at December 31, 2011.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2011, charge-offs were approximately $4.4 million and approximately $46,000 was recorded as recoveries for a net charge-off of $4.3 million, compared to charge-offs of approximately $1.8 million and approximately $495,000 recorded as recoveries for a net charge-off of $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
We experienced an increase in charge-offs in our loan portfolio during the nine month period ending September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.  During the nine months ending September 30, 2012 we recorded loan charge-offs of $2.8 million and recoveries of previous charged-off loans of approximately $61,000 compared to net charge-offs of $2.7 million for the corresponding nine month period of 2011.
 
We are intent on maintaining a strong credit review system and risk rating process.  Management believes its evaluation as to the adequacy of the allowance as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is appropriate, however, provisions for 2011 and for the first nine months of 2012 are not necessarily indicative of future provisioning.  Subjective judgment is significant in the determination of the provision and allowance for loan losses, manifested in the valuation of collateral, a borrower’s prospects of repayment, and in establishing allowance factors and components for the formula allowance for homogeneous loans.  A time lag between the recognition of loss exposure in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance and a loan’s ultimate resolution and/or charge-off is normal and to be expected.  Future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in the credits comprising the portfolio and changes in the financial condition of borrowers, which may result from changes in economic conditions.  In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the loan portfolio and the allowance.  Such review may result in additional provisions based upon the agencies’ judgments of information available at the time of each examination.
 
 
 
 
253

 
 
 
We have developed a comprehensive review process to monitor the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  The review process and guidelines were developed using guidance from federal banking regulatory agencies and rely on relevant observable data.  The observable data considered in the determination of the allowance is modified if other more relevant data becomes available.  The results of this review process support management’s view as to the adequacy of the allowance as of the balance sheet date.
 
Changes in estimation methods may take place based upon the status of the economy, and the estimate of the value of the property securing loans and as a result, the allowance may increase or decrease. Future adjustments could substantially affect the amount of the allowance.
 
The current economic environment continues to be a factor increasing our internally criticized loans, the devaluation of real estate collateral used to secure some of these loans and restructuring of these loans; however, these types of loans have remained stable since December 31, 2010.  The allowance for loans losses is very subjective in nature, relying significantly on historical loss experience, collateral valuations available to management on specific loans, and economic conditions.  The challenges caused by the recent recession and continuing high unemployment levels and uncertain real estate valuations, resulted in the Bank shortening its loss history look-back period used for the allowance for loan losses from 36 months to 12 months during 2010.  We continue to be mindful of the continued problems within the economy and its impact on our loan portfolio as well as the inherent risk within the portfolio, and management will make adjustments to the allowance and loan loss provision as necessary.
 
The $10.7 million loan held-for-sale portfolio was committed to be purchased by investors at September 30, 2012 and was settled subsequent to that date.  The $10.2 million loans held-for-sale portfolio at December 31, 2011 had already been committed to be purchased by investors at December 31, 2011 and subsequent to December 31, 2011, all of these loans were purchased by the committed investors.  Analysis of our history of sold loans indicates that minimal credit losses have been realized after the sale of loans, and therefore management does not consider these loans in determining the amount of the allowance.
 
The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including the collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows.  Those impaired loans not requiring a specific allowance represent loans for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans.  Our policy is to charge off all or that portion of our investment in an impaired loan upon a determination that it is probable the full amount will not be collected.  At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, substantially all of the impaired loans were evaluated based upon the fair value of the collateral.  At September 30, 2012, total impaired loans were $33.8 million, or 18.11% of total loans held for investment, compared to $31.3 million, or 14.82% of total loans held-for-investment, at December 31, 2011.  Management’s analysis of our impaired loans represents a level of reserves of approximately $1.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 compared to approximately $5.7 million at December 31, 2010.  The reserve balance was reduced in 2011 as compared to 2010 based on the OCC regulations to eliminate specific reserves on collateral dependent loans and charge off these loans by the specific reserve amount.  Non-performing loans consisted of $14.3 million that were non-accrual loans at September 30, 2012 and approximately $22.8 million of troubled debt restructured loans.  Significant variation in this ratio may occur from period to period because the amount of non-performing loans depends largely on the condition of a small number of individual credits and borrowers relative to the total loan and lease portfolio.

The following tables set forth certain information as to the allowance for loan losses, charge-offs and recoveries in the allowance including during the periods indicated.  In addition, we believe there are additional, unidentified, probable losses within the portfolio, which may be reflected as charge-offs against the allowance in future quarters as these losses manifest themselves and loan collection efforts continue.

Our loans held-for-investment portfolio decreased $22.6 million, or 9.7% as of December 31, 2011, compared to December 31, 2010.  Our average loans held-for-investment also decreased by 6.5% for 2011 compared to 2010.  This decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in our commercial real estate mortgage loans secured by other properties due to slow demand in commercial lending and loan payoffs, which has resulted in a decrease in the portfolios of commercial business, commercial real estate, and residential land development loans to commercial borrowers. Our total loans held-for-investment portfolio decreased $21.9 million, or 10.7%, as of September 30, 2012 when compared to December 31, 2011.  This decrease resulted from the continued slow demand in commercial lending and from principal paydowns on our loan portfolio.

The following tables set forth information as to non-accrual and past due loans at the dates indicated.  We generally discontinue the accrual of interest on loans after a delinquency of more than four monthly payments, or when, in the opinion of management, the complete recovery of principal and interest is unlikely, at which time all previously accrued but uncollected interest is reversed from income.

Total non-accrual loans increased by $1.5 million, or 11.7%, to $14.3 million at September 30, 2012, compared to $12.8 million at December 31, 2011.  We experienced an increase in our residential and land and land development loans offsetting the decrease in our commercial loans.  Total non-accrual loans decreased by $14.3 million, or 53.6%, to $12.8 million at December 31, 2011, compared to $27.1 million at December 31, 2010.  We experienced a decrease in the number of and percentage of the loans in our residential mortgages, construction loans, and in our commercial loan portfolio.
 
The allowance for loan losses is approximately 23.4% of non-performing loans as of September 30, 2012 compared to 47.7% of at December 31, 2011 and 37.7% at December 31, 2010.  Significant variation in this ratio may occur from period to period because the amount of non-performing loans depends largely on the condition of a small number of individual credits and borrowers relative to the total loan and lease portfolio.
 
A troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) means that, due to a borrower’s current financial difficulties, we have granted a concession to the borrower that we would not otherwise have considered.  We do this when we believe the borrower may default on the loan without such concession and we believe the concession will increase the borrower’s ability to remain current on the loan, in order to maximize recovery of our investment.  The majority of our TDRs involve a restructuring of loan terms such as a temporary reduction in the payment amount to require only interest and escrow (if required), lowering of the interest rate and/or extending the maturity date of the loan.  All TDRs are reported as “impaired” but not reported as non-performing loans unless the restructured loans are more than 90 days delinquent or on non-accrual status.  As of September 30, 2012, we had $22.8 million in TDRs, of which $3.3 million were on non-accrual status, compared to $18.5 million in TDRs, of which $1.9 million were on non-accrual status, as of December 31, 2011 and $13.9 million in TDRs, of which $1.4 million were on non-accrual status, as of December 31, 2010.
 
At September 30, 2012, total impaired loans were $33.8 million, or 18.11% of total loans held for investment, compared to total impaired loans of $31.3 million, or 14.82% of total loans held for investment at December 31, 2011 and $38.8 million, or 16.57% of total loans held-for-investment, at December 31, 2010.  Non-performing loans at September 30, 2012 consisted of $14.3 million that were non-accrual loans and approximately $22.8 million of troubled debt restructured loans, compared to $12.8 million that were non-accrual loans and approximately $18.5 million of troubled debt restructured loans at December 31, 2011.  Significant variation in this ratio may occur from period to period because the amount of non-performing loans depends largely on the condition of a small number of individual credits and borrowers relative to the total loan and lease portfolio.
 
The following table sets forth information as to loans defined as delinquent (three payments past due, less than the four months past due as presented on the previous schedule) on which we continued to accrue interest.

Real estate acquired at or in lieu of foreclosure is classified as OREO until such time as it is sold. Acquired property is recorded at the lower of net acquisition cost or fair value, less estimated costs to sell subsequent to acquisition.  Operating expenses of OREO are reflected in non-interest expenses.  Any write-down of the property at the acquisition date is charged against the allowance for loan losses with any subsequent additional write-downs reflected in non-interest expenses.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, there was a $189,000 provision for OREO losses.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, there was a $266,000 provision for OREO losses, compared to a $591,000 provision for OREO losses for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The provisions are primarily the result of a reduction of the values of our OREO properties.  The provision for OREO losses was expensed during the respective periods for OREO property as is our practice when information is obtained that indicates the fair value is less than its carrying value.  The value of OREO property held due to foreclosures at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $4.9 million, $4.8 million and $6.1 million, respectively.  At September 30, 2012, OREO properties consist of $913,000 in residential construction properties, $1.6 million in lot properties, $589,000 in 1 – 4 residential properties and $1.8 million in commercial real estate properties.  At December 31, 2011, OREO properties consist of $744,000 in residential construction properties, $2.2 million in lot properties, and $543,000 in 1 – 4 residential properties and $1.4 million in commercial real estate properties. Management is actively seeking buyers for these properties.

As we have previously reported, there has been an increase in court caseloads resulting in delays in ratification of foreclosure sale actions by the courts affecting mortgage lenders, including us.  This has resulted in both a lengthening of the curing time for delinquent loans and the possibility of an increase in non-performing asset levels.  We are also experiencing increased short sales and re-sales of bank owned properties in the marketplace, which is having a negative impact on real estate values and collateral on loans, in general.  We are continuing our practice of working with borrowers to resolve delinquencies, with foreclosure action being the remedy of last resort when reasonable means to cure deficiencies in the best interest of both the Bank and the borrower, consistent with sound banking considerations, are exhausted.
 
Non-Interest Income
 
Three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to three and nine months ended September 30, 2011
 
Total non-interest income decreased $232,000, or 22.9%, and $288,000, or 9.8%, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, compared to the same periods in the prior year.  The decrease for the three month period is primarily attributable to a $416,000 decrease in the gain on the sale of investment securities available for sale, partially offset by increases of $69,000 in rental income, $69,000 on the gain on sale of loans sold in the secondary market and $41,000 in loan related fees.  The decrease in the nine month period was also the result of a decrease in our gain on the sale of investment securities available for sale, partially offset by increases in the gain on the sale of real estate acquired in settlement of loans and rental income.
 
The gain on the sale of real estate acquired in settlement of loans for the nine month period ending September 30, 2012 is the result of the sale of nine properties for a net gain of $164,000 compared to a net gain of $46,000 on the sale of eight properties during the same period of 2011.  In the current economic environment, property values have a material effect on our ability to sell these properties.  Management may determine it is in our best interests to sell the properties at a lower price than the value we had assigned to them as real estate owned in settlement of loans in order to avoid the ongoing expense associated with maintaining these properties in our portfolio, including maintenance, costs and property taxes, and with selling the properties at a later date.
 
Rental income for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2012 increased as a result of rental agreements with new tenants to lease available space at our corporate headquarters located in Bowie, Maryland.
 
Gain on the sale of loans increased $69,000 and $62,000, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2012, compared to the same periods in 2011.  The increases are the result of an increase in the dollar amount of premiums associated with the loans sold in the secondary market.  The number of loans originated in the secondary market was generally flat, with 295 loans sold during the nine months ending September 30, 2012 as compared to 292 during the nine months ending September 30, 2011.  Premiums recognized as gains depends largely on market rates and will fluctuate based on the market.  Our ability to realize gains in future periods will depend largely on interest rates and the demand for mortgage loans.
 
The Bank continues to offer traditional mortgage financing through its mortgage banking operations.  Because loans we sell in the secondary market are with recourse, and we could be required to repurchase such loans if the purchasers turn out to be not creditworthy, we continue to monitor the anticipated negative impact and/or exposure of many of the larger secondary market investors, and as such have further reduced or eliminated the selling of loans to investors where liquidity or financial capacity is in question.
 
As discussed above, we have been repositioning a portion of our investment portfolio by selling existing securities in order to reduce the potential for adjustments to the total consideration that will be paid in the merger, as well as purchasing new securities with Old Line Bancshares’ consent.

Loss on the sale of investment securities for the three month period ending September 30, 2012, was approximately $288,000 pretax, $174,000 net of tax, compared to a gain of $128,000 pretax, $78,000 net of tax during the same three month period of 2011.  The gross realized loss for the three month period ending September 30, 2012 was due to sales and calls of approximately $1.1 million in sales of agency callable, $5.0 million in corporate bonds, $10.0 million in called agencies, and $10.3 million in MBS.  The gross realized loss for the nine month period ending September 30, 2012, was $125,000 pretax, $76,000 net of tax was due to the sales and calls of approximately $2.8 million in sales of agency callable, $5.0 million in corporate bonds, $34.0 million in called agencies, and $11.4 million in MBS.  These investment calls and sales resulted in a gross realized gain of $410,000, offset by the MBS sales resulting in a gross realized loss of $535,000 pretax, or $324,000 net of tax, compared to a gain of $543,000 pretax, or $329,000 net of tax, during the same nine month period of 2011.  We sold these MBS because we believe that these MBS may have resulted in downward adjustments in the total consideration to be paid to our stockholders in the merger had such MBS remained in our portfolio on the effective date of the merger.  The 2011 gain was due to the opportunity to sell and receive a premium on MBS then held in our portfolio.  We expect to continue to reposition the investment portfolio in order to attempt to minimize any potential adjustment to the total consideration to be paid upon closing of the merger.
 
 
Year ended December 31 2011 compared to year ended December 31, 2010
 
Total non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $3.7 million compared to $683,000 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $3.0 million, or 443.2%.  The increase in non-interest income for the current twelve month period is attributable to the $2.9 million other than temporary charge recognized during the third quarter of 2010, for which there was no comparable charge this year.  In addition gain on sale of loans increased $292,000 and gain on the sale of real estate acquired in settlement of loans increased $75,000.  The increases were partially offset by a decrease of $113,000 in the net gain on the sale of MBS and investment securities available for sale.
 
During the period ended December 31, 2011, we did not recognize a non-cash OTTI as compared to a $2.9 million charge recognized on one of our private-labeled MBS for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The OTTI charge related to a credit loss.  Credit losses reflect the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost.  Significant deterioration occurred in the market values on one of our securities.  The MBS was subsequently sold in the fourth quarter or 2010.
 
Net gain on the sale of mortgage-backed securities and investment securities for the period ended December 31, 2011 included approximately $562,000 pre-tax, $341,000 net of tax, compared to $785,000 pre-tax, $518,000 net of tax, for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2010.  Gain on the sale of investments is the result of the Bank selling approximately $11.0 million of our MBS and $42.0 million of our callable agencies, of which included $32.0 million of investments being called prior to maturity.  The net gain during the 2010 period resulted from the sale of approximately $7.0 million of our MBS and $14.1 million of our callable agencies.
 
The sale of these securities was used to partially pay off and reduce our brokered deposits.  The funds from the called investment securities were used to purchase MBS with a higher interest rate.  This was part of management’s continuing efforts during 2011 to strengthen the balance sheet for the future.  We currently have five remaining non-agency MBS that have been rated less than investment grade by at least one rating agency.  The remaining portfolio is U.S. Government agency securities.  We continue to aggressively monitor the performance of these securities and the underlying collateral.

The $75,000 increase on the gain on sale of real estate acquired in settlement of loans during 2011 is due to the gain on the sale of ten properties resulting in a net gain of $36,000 compared to the sale of nine properties resulting in a net loss of $38,000 during 2010.
 
Gain on the sale of loans increased $292,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to 2010.  Gain on sale of loans includes servicing release fees and discount points earned on loans sold.  The increase on the gain on sale of loans compared to the year ending December 31, 2010 is primarily due to an overall higher premium and increased collection of up-front fees associated with those loans as well as lower costs associated with the origination of these loans.  The costs associated with these loans decreased primarily as the result of reducing our expense for our loan origination departments.  Our ability to realize gains in future periods will depend largely on interest rates and the demand for mortgage loans.
 
While production of loans held-for-sale has been negatively impacted nationally by the current market constriction as to non-conforming and non-traditional mortgage offerings, and overall credit tightening, the Bank continues to offer traditional mortgage financing through its mortgage banking operations.  Because loans we sell in the secondary market are with recourse, and we could be required to repurchase such loans if the purchasers turn out to be not creditworthy, we continue to monitor the anticipated negative impact and/or exposure of many of the larger secondary market investors, and as such have further reduced or eliminated the selling of loans to investors where liquidity or financial capacity is in question.
 
Loan-related fees, which consist primarily of late fees, document preparation fees, tax service fees and construction inspection fees, decreased $39,000 during the year ended December 31, 2011, due primarily to the decrease of upfront loan fees.  We originated approximately 388 loans that were sold in the secondary market totaling $109.3 million during fiscal 2011, compared to 401 loans totaling $109.6 million during fiscal 2010.
 
Other income includes primarily fees from our deposit-based operations.  The $13,000 increase in other income during 2011 is primarily the result of an increase in miscellaneous and other fee income.
 
Non-Interest Expenses
 
Three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to three and nine months ended September 30, 2011
 
Non-interest expenses increased $211,000 or 6.3% and decreased $107,000, or 1.0%, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2012, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods.
 
The increase in non-interest expenses for the three month period was primarily due to increases of $97,000 in the provision for losses on real estate acquired in settlement of loans, $86,000 in salaries and benefits and $62,000 in professional services, partially offset by decreases of $23,000 in other expenses, $19,000 in FDIC premiums and $15,000 in advertising expenses.  The decrease in non-interest expenses for the nine month period was primarily the result of decreases of $145,000 in FDIC insurance premiums, offsetting a $105,000 increase in the provision for losses on real estate acquired in settlement of loans.
 
We recognized an expense of $99,000 and $189,000, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2012 for the provision for losses on real estate acquired in settlement of loans as compared to $1,000 and $84,000, respectively, for the corresponding periods of 2011.  We continue to obtain updated appraisals and/or evaluations on the properties that have been classified as real estate owned, which resulted in additional write downs of certain properties as a result of continuing declines in real estate prices.
 
The increase in salaries and benefits during the three month period is the result of increased employee benefits expenses as compared with the three month period ending September 30, 2011.  Benefit costs increased due to higher medical and life insurance premiums.  The decrease in salaries and benefits during the nine month period is primarily associated with the lower premiums received on the loans sold in the secondary market.
 
The increase in professional services during the three month period is primarily associated with additional legal and investment banker fees associated with the merger agreement and pending merger.  Professional services decreased $19,000 during the nine month period, primarily as a result of reduced legal expenses associated with litigation during 2011 on two of our loans that was resolved in June 2012.  We expect that these fees will remain elevated as we work toward stockholder and regulatory approval of the merger, which we expect to be completed in the second or third quarter of 2013.
 
The decreases in deposit insurance premiums during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 is primarily the result of an overall decrease in FDIC assessment rates as a result of changes to the FDIC assessment calculation.
 
The decrease in other expenses during the nine month period is primarily the result a reduction of foreclosure expenses.

Year ended December 31, 2011 compared to year ended December 31, 2010
 
Non-interest expenses were $13.8 million and $16.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
The $2.6 million decrease in non-interest expenses during the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to a $2.0 million pre-payment penalty paid during the second quarter of 2010, for which there was no corresponding expense during 2011.  Also contributing to the decrease in non-interest expenses were decreases of $409,000 in deposit insurance premiums and assessments, $250,000 in foreclosure costs, $326,000 in provision for loss on real estate acquired in settlement of loans and $21,000 in other expenses, partially offset by increases of $546,000 in salaries and benefits and $45,000 in service contracts.
 
The $2.0 million pre-payment penalty was the result of a termination fee that we incurred in 2010 as a result of the early payoff of $30.0 million in other borrowings to a third party.  Although this transaction resulted in a pre-payment penalty and therefore increased the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010, it allowed the Bank to reduce its cost of funds going forward.
 
The increase in salaries and benefits is the result of annual increases, additional mortgage originators and increased employee benefits expenses.  Approximately 30 experienced mortgage loan originators joined WSB Holdings during the quarter ended December 31, 2010, but due to reduced originations based on the slowdown in the economy, we elected to terminate the low-performing originators and as of December 31, 2011, we had 18 mortgage loan originators.  Benefit costs also increased due to higher medical and life insurance premiums.  Salaries and benefit costs fluctuate based on the number of loan originators needed to meet the current loan demand.
 
The decrease in the provision for OREO losses was due to OREO properties with a fair value less than the original carrying value.  These decreases are the result of obtaining updated appraisal and/or evaluations on the properties that have been classified as real estate owned, which resulted in fewer write downs of certain properties although continuing declines in real estate prices may affect the carrying OREO balances.
 
The decrease in deposit insurance premiums is the result of an overall decrease in FDIC assessment rates for smaller institutions.  During the third quarter of 2011, FDIC changed the calculation formula to charge assessments on average assets, which resulted in lower premiums for WSB Holdings.
 
Foreclosure costs decreased $250,000 during the period ended December 31, 2011, as a result of a reduction in cost associated with foreclosure of loans which was affected by lower levels of OREO.  We continue to monitor our foreclosures and post foreclosures, but cannot anticipate what impact this may have on our statement of financial condition in the future.

Income Taxes
 
Nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2011
 
Although we generally provide for income taxes at substantially equivalent statutory rates, the tax effects of certain operations have caused variances in our overall effective tax rates from period to period.  A tax benefit of $75,000 was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to a tax expense of $316,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  A tax expense of $140,000 was recorded for the nine month period ending September 30, 2012, compared to a tax expense of $503,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The tax expense for the periods ending September 30, 2012 includes an exclusion of income for the bank owned life insurance and state income tax benefit attributable to our investment portfolio which consists of U.S. Agencies.  The effective tax rates were 23.8% and 34.3% for the respective nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
 
The determination of current and deferred income taxes is a critical accounting estimate which is based on complex analyses of many factors including interpretation of income tax laws, the evaluation of uncertain tax positions, differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities (temporary differences), estimates of amounts due or owed such as the timing of reversal of temporary differences and current financial accounting standards.  Additionally, there can be no assurance that estimates and interpretations used in determining income tax liabilities may not be challenged by taxing authorities. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and tax law interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax liabilities.
 
In addition, under generally accepted accounting principles, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded at the income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred income tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized.  If such rates change, deferred income tax assets and liabilities must be adjusted in the period of change through a charge or credit to the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  Also, if current period income tax rates change, the impact on the annual effective income tax rate is applied year-to-date in the period of enactment.

As a result, a tax expense of $712,000 was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to a tax benefit of $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The tax expense was the result of pre-tax earnings of $2.0 million, which included the exclusion of income for the bank owned life insurance and a tax benefit attributable to our investments portfolio which consists of U.S. Agencies.  The tax benefit for 2010 was the result of a pre-tax loss of $6.8 million, which included the exclusion of income for the bank owned life insurance and a tax benefit attributable to our investment portfolio which consists of U.S. Agencies as well as the reversal of a portion of a reserve established for an uncertain tax position resulting from a settlement of an IRS examination.  The effective tax rates were 36.3% and (42.7)% for years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Financial Condition and Liquidity
 
General
 
Total assets were $373.3 million and $385.0 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The decrease in assets at September 30, 2012, compared to December 31, 2011, was primarily attributable to decreases in loans held for investment and investment securities, partially offset by an increase in total cash and cash equivalents.  Loans classified as held for investment decreased as we experienced principal pay-downs associated with these loans.  Some of these funds received from these pay-downs were used to purchase MBS available for sale.
 
Total assets were $385.0 million at December 31, 2011 as compared to $396.0 million at December 31, 2010.  The $11.0 million, or 2.8%, decrease in assets at December 31, 2011 was principally attributable to a decrease of $22.3 million in loans held for investment, $19.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $13.9 million in loans available-for-sale, offsetting an increase of $22.3 million in MBS available-for-sale and $22.8 million in investment securities available-for-sale.  As our loan portfolio decreased due to loan payoffs and principle pay-downs, we reduced our brokered deposits and reinvested into highly-rated mortgage-backed securities improving our portfolio yield.  The decrease in loans held-for-sale is primarily due to a decrease in our residential mortgage real estate loans which are sold in the secondary market.
 
 
 
263

 
 
Liabilities decreased by $13.0 million, or 3.9%, to $317.7 million at September 30, 2012 when compared to December 31, 2011.  The decrease primarily resulted from a reduction of $16.0 million in our FHLB advances.  Liabilities decreased by $13.6 million, or 4.0%, to $330.7 million at December 31, 2011 as compared to $344.3 million at December 31, 2010, as a result of a decrease of $21.5 million in our total deposits, offsetting the increase of $8.0 million in FHLB borrowings.  The decrease in deposits is the result of a decrease in our time deposits as a result of a reduction of $28.5 in brokered CDs offsetting an increase in our savings and NOW accounts.  Management directed its focus to increase its core savings and NOW accounts by increasing the rates we offer on these products so that our rate is higher than the rate offered by our competitors.  In addition, we decreased our brokered deposits to approximately $19.8 million at December 31, 2011 compared to $48.3 at December 31, 2010.  Previously, we had generally sought to lengthen our deposit maturities and decrease the effect of short-term interest rate swings through the pricing of our CDs.
 
Liquidity
 
We must meet requirements for liquid assets and for liquidity described in “Business of The Washington Savings Bank – Supervision and Regulation.”  As of September 30, 2012, we had $38.4 million of cash and cash equivalents.  Further, we had $102.4 million of unpledged investment securities.  However, the unpledged securities consist of approximately $2.7 million private label MBS with limited marketability for purposes of liquidity.  At September 30, 2012, we had approximately $43.9 million of availability on our FHLB line and $7.0 million of availability on our secured lines of credit with correspondent banks.
 
Funding requirements are impacted by loan originations and maturities of CDs and borrowings.  We comply with regulatory guidelines regarding required liquidity levels and monitor our liquidity position.  In an effort to reduce exposure to liquidity risk, the board of director’s Asset and Liability Committee monitors our sources of funds and our assets and liabilities, which may result in a change of our asset, liability, and off-balance sheet positions.  Long-term liquidity is generated through growth in our deposits and long-term debt, while short-term liquidity is generated though federal funds and securities sold under agreement to repurchase.
 
As a member of the FHLB system, and in order to maintain insurance with the FDIC, we must maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure a safe and sound operation.  Liquid assets are defined as cash, Federal Reserve deposits, time and savings deposits in certain institutions, obligations of states and political subdivisions thereof, highly rated corporate debt, mortgage loans and MBS, and accrued interest receivable and principal on certain qualified unpledged assets payable within five years.  Internal sources of liquidity used by the Bank are various short-term investments, MBS, and short-term borrowings.
 
Please see “ – Sources of Funds” for a discussion regarding our sources of liquidity.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
 
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk including commitments to extend credit under existing lines of credit and commitments to sell loans.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.
 
Off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit and interest rate risk at the dates indicated are summarized as follows:
 
   
As of September 30,
2012
   
Year ended December 31, 2011
 
Commitments to originate new loans
  $ 5,644,672     $ 493,500  
Unfunded commitments to extend credit under existing
               
    construction, equity line and commercial lines of credit
    11,955,304       10,969,883  
Standby letters of credit
    147,238       194,488  
Commitments to sell loans held-for-sale  
    10,687,979       10,245,483  
 
We do not have any unconsolidated special purpose entities or other similar forms of off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
 
Commitments to originate new loans or to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Loan commitments generally expire within 90 days.  Most equity line commitments for the unfunded portion of equity lines are for a term of 12 months, and commercial lines of credit are generally renewable on an annual basis.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.
 
Commitments to sell loans held-for-sale are agreements to sell loans to third parties at an agreed upon price.
 
Capital
 
Current regulations require subsidiaries of a financial institution to be separately capitalized and require investments in and extensions of credit to any subsidiary engaged in activities not permissible for a bank to be deducted in the computation of the institution's regulatory capital.  The Bank’s regulatory capital and regulatory assets below also reflect decreases of $1.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively, which represents unrealized gains (after-tax for capital deductions and pre-tax for asset deductions, respectively) on MBS and investment securities classified as available for sale.  In addition, the Bank’s risk-based capital reflects an increase of $2.5 million in the general loan loss reserve during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The loan loss reserve factor represents 1.25% of the Bank’s risk-weighted assets.  The following table shows regulatory thrift capital ratios required, the Bank’s actual ratios, and the amount by which the Bank’s ratios exceed required capital ratios, as of September 30, 2012.

Risk-Weighted Assets
 
Our management believes that, under current regulations, and eliminating the assets of WSB Holdings, the Bank remains well capitalized and will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future.  However, events beyond our control, such as a shift in interest rates or a continued downturn or slower recovery in the economy in areas where we extend credit, could adversely affect future earnings and, consequently, our ability to meet minimum capital requirements in the future.
 
The Qualified Thrift Lender Test currently requires that “qualified thrift investments” be at least 65% of portfolio assets as defined by the OCC.  At September 30, 2012, our ratio was approximately 85% of defined portfolio assets.
 
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
 
The Consolidated Financial Statements of WSB Holdings and related notes presented elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, 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 those of many industries, most of the assets and liabilities of financial institutions such as this Company are monetary in nature.  Monetary items, which are those assets and liabilities that are convertible into a fixed number of dollars regardless of changes in prices, include cash, investments, loans and other receivables, savings accounts, short-term and long-term debt and, as in our case, most of its other liabilities.  Virtually all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature.  Inflation has had an immaterial effect on our operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
 
WSB HOLDINGS, INC. – INFORMATION ABOUT DIRECTORS TO BE APPOINTED TO OLD LINE BANCHSARES’ BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
As discussed above, current WSB Holdings directors William J. Harnett and Michael J. Sullivan are expected to be appointed to the board of directors of Old Line Bancshares upon closing of the merger pursuant to the merger agreement.  This section provides certain information about Messrs. Harnett and Sullivan with respect to their positions as directors of WSB Holdings.  As used in this section, the words “we,” “us” and “our” are references to WSB Holdings, Inc.
 
Director Independence
 
Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Sullivan is independent as defined under the applicable rules and listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC.  In making this determination, the board of directors considered any transactions and relationships between Mr. Sullivan or his immediate family and WSB Holdings and its subsidiaries, as reported under the heading “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions” below.  Mr. Harnett is not independent because he was previously an executive officer of WSB Holdings, and remains a non-executive employee.

The following table summarizes the compensation paid to Messrs. Harnett and Sullivan for their service as directors of WSB Holdings during 2011.

Represents annual salary of $150,000 paid to Mr. Harnett as a non-executive employee.
 
Director/Committee Fees
 
Our non-employee directors are paid board fees and committee fees based on attendance.  Directors are paid $1,000 for each board meeting attended and $500 for each committee meeting attended, except that committee fees are only paid for meetings not occurring on board meeting dates.  Chairman Harnett has been retained as a non-executive employee to serve as our Board Chairman and as an advisor to the Chief Executive Officer and the board of directors.  In lieu of board and committee fees paid to our non-employee directors, Mr. Harnett receives an annual salary of $150,000 and the use of a company-paid automobile, and is eligible to a receive a bonus as determined in the board of directors’ discretion.  Mr. Harnett is also entitled to certain other benefits in his capacity as a non-executive employee, including participation in the Bank’s 401(k) plan and life, group health and dental insurance plans on the same basis as other employees.  As previously noted, Mr. Harnett is also entitled to a change in control lump sum severance payment in the amount of $500,000 in the event his employment is involuntarily terminated, or if his level of compensation does not remain substantially the same (including bonus) and he voluntarily terminates his employment within 18 months following a change in control as defined by the OCC.
 
Director compensation and benefits are reviewed annually by the compensation committee, who review outside, publicly-available independent compensation reviews from SNL Financial and America’s Community Bankers Association in analyzing board compensation and benefits.  The peer group information used for consideration is based on peer groups as defined and set by the outside service provider based on asset size, geographic location, type of financial institution, and operating performance.  Accordingly, consistent with our objectives, the compensation of our directors is set with regard to the increased demands of serving as a director and local market practice.  We do not, however, specifically benchmark the director compensation or any individual element of compensation to our peer companies, but generally review the information for competitive purposes.
 
Incentive Stock Awards
 
Our non-employee directors are eligible, and have received in the past, stock option grants as part of their compensation; however, no grants were awarded to non-employee directors in 2011.  Option grants for non-employee directors are subject to board approval.  WSB Holdings’ board of directors believes that stock option grants further align the interest of the Directors with our stockholders.
 
Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions
 
From time to time, WSB Holdings has had, and expects to have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with its directors, including Messrs. Harnett and Sullivan and officers, and other related parties.  WSB Holdings maintains written policies and procedures to strictly control all loans to insiders in accordance with Federal law (Regulation O).  Insiders include any executive officer, director, or principal stockholder and entities which such persons control.  These transactions have been made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates, collateral, and repayment terms, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with unaffiliated parties.  The extensions of credit to these persons have not and do not currently involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.  None of these loans or other extensions of credit are disclosed as nonaccrual, past due, restructured or potential problem loans.
 
 
 
267

 
 
 
WSB Holdings’ board of directors is required to review all related party transactions, excluding insider loans, which are approved by the full board of directors, and with any interested director not participating in the approval process, for potential conflicts of interest.  All related party transactions and relationships must be on terms not materially less favorable than what would be usual and customary in similar transactions between unrelated persons dealing at arms length.  To the extent such transactions are ongoing business relationships with WSB Holdings, such transactions are reviewed annually.  Related party transactions are those involving WSB Holdings and the Bank that are required to be disclosed pursuant to SEC Regulation S-K, Item 404.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AND STATEMENT OF INCOME
 
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at September 30, 2012 and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and twelve months ended December 31, 2011 illustrate the effect of the proposed merger.  We have based the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of income of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and twelve months ended December 31, 2011.
 
As required by FASB ASC Topic 805-Business combinations, we have used the acquisition method of accounting and adjusted the acquired assets and liabilities of WSB Holdings to fair value as of the balance sheet date.  Under this method, we will record WSB Holdings’ assets and liabilities as of the date of the acquisition at their respective fair values and add them to those of Old Line Bancshares.  We will record in goodwill any difference between the purchase price for WSB Holdings and the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired (including core deposit intangibles).  We will not expense the amortization of the goodwill that results from the acquisition, if any, but will review it for impairment at least annually.  To the extent there is an impairment of the goodwill, we will expense the impairment.  We will amortize to expense core deposit and other intangibles with definite useful lives that we record in conjunction with the merger.  Financial statements that Old Line Bancshares issues after the acquisition will reflect the results attributable to the acquired operations of WSB Holdings beginning on the date of completion of the acquisition.
 
In connection with the acquisition, Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings are currently working to further develop their preliminary plans to consolidate their operations.  During the next several months, we expect to refine the specific details.  We are currently in the process of assessing the two companies’ personnel, benefit plans, premises, equipment, computer systems and service contracts to determine where we may take advantage of redundancies.  We will record cost associated with such decisions and any other merger related costs as incurred and have not included them in the pro forma adjustments to the pro forma consolidated statements of income.  We anticipate that we can reduce consolidated operating expenses by 25% to 35%.  We have not included these savings in the pro forma consolidated statements of income and there are no assurances that we will realize these reductions.
 
We have provided the unaudited pro forma information for information purposes only.  The pro forma financial information presented is not necessarily indicative of the actual results that we would have achieved had we consummated the merger on the dates or at the beginning of the periods presented, and it is not necessarily indicative of future results.  You should read the unaudited pro forma financial information in conjunction with notes thereto and the audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto of Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
 
The unaudited pro forma stockholders’ equity and net income derived from the above assumptions are qualified by the statements set forth under this caption and you should not consider them indicative of the market value of Old Line Bancshares’ common stock, its financial condition or the actual or future results of operations of Old Line Bancshares for any periods.  Actual results may be materially different than the pro forma data presented.
 
We have made certain reclassification adjustments to the pro forma financial statements to conform to Old Line Bancshares’ financial statement presentation.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AND STATEMENT OF INCOME
 
1.
Old Line Bancshares will issue shares of its stock to stockholders of WSB Holdings to effect the acquisition.  The exchange ratio will equal the quotient of (i) $31,655,645 (subject to adjustment as provided in the merger agreement) divided by 10.85, divided by (ii) the number of shares of WSB Holdings common stock outstanding on the effective date minus the 2,792,974 shares to be exchanged for cash.  The unaudited pro forma combined financial information assumes that Old Line Bancshares exchanges each share of WSB Holdings stock for .5608 shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock and that there are no further reductions in the consideration as a result of WSB Holdings incurring operating losses, further deterioration in credit quality or expenses that exceed those outlined in the merger agreement.
 
It is anticipated that WSB Holdings’ stockholders will own approximately 29.93% of the voting stock of the combined company after the acquisition.  The shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock illustrated in this pro forma were assumed to be recorded at $10.85 per share.  The final accounting acquisition price assigned to record the shares issued in the acquisition may be adjusted as provided in the merger agreement for certain operating losses, asset quality changes, changes in the value of certain investment securities and merger related expenses incurred by WSB Holdings.  The per share merger consideration will be reduced if the aggregate merger consideration is adjusted.  Additionally, Old Line Bancshares and WSB Holdings cannot predict what the value or price of Old Line Bancshares’ stock will be at the closing of the transaction or how the value or price of Old Line Bancshares’ stock may trade at any time, including the date hereof.  The pro forma financial statements assume that approximately 35% of WSB Holdings’ stockholders elect to receive cash consideration for a total cash payment of $17.0 million.
 
Old Line Bancshares will determine the final allocation of the purchase price after it has completed additional analysis to determine the fair values of WSB Holdings’ tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as of the date of the acquisition.  Changes in the fair value of the net assets of WSB Holdings as of the date of the acquisition will likely change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. The further refinement of transaction costs, changes in WSB Holdings’ shareholders’ equity including net income between September 30, 2012 and the date of the acquisition will likely change the amount of goodwill recorded.  The final adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented herein.  Old Line Bancshares has prepared the pro forma financial information to include the estimated adjustments necessary to record the assets and liabilities of WSB Holdings at their respective fair values and represents management’s best estimate based upon the information available at this time.  The pro forma adjustments included herein are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as we perform additional analyses.  Furthermore, Old Line Bancshares will determine the final allocation of the acquisition price after we complete the consolidation.  The final acquisition accounting adjustments may be materially different from the pro forma adjustment presented herein.  Increases or decreases in the fair value of certain balance sheet amounts including loans, securities, deposits and related intangibles and debt will result in adjustments to the balance sheet and statement of operations.  Such adjustments, when compared to the information shown in this document, may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill while changes to other assets and liabilities may impact the statement of income due to adjustments in the yield and/or amortization/accretion of the adjusted assets and liabilities.  We have included the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements only as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011.  The unaudited pro forma combined financial information presented herein does not necessarily provide an indication of the combined results of operations or the combined financial position that would have resulted had we actually completed the consolidation as of the assumed consummation date, nor is it indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined company.
 
The total estimated purchase price for the purpose of this pro forma financial information is $48.7 million.  The following table provides the calculation and allocation of the purchase price used in the pro forma financial statements and a reconcilement of pro forma shares outstanding assuming that 35% of WSB Holdings’ stockholders elect to receive cash consideration for a total cash   payment of $17.0 million:

2.
Adjustment to reflect the issuance of common shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock with a $0.01 par value in connection with the merger and the adjustments to stockholders’ equity for the reclassification of WSB Holdings’ historical equity accounts (common stock, accumulated other comprehensive income and retained earnings) into additional paid-in capital.
 
3.
Adjustment of $3.1 million to core deposit intangible to reflect the fair value of this asset and the related amortization adjustment based upon an expected life of 10 years and using a sum of the years digit method.  We expect the amortization of the core deposit intangible to increase pro forma before tax non-interest expense by $562 thousand in the first year following consummation.
 
 
 
 
F-6

 
 
 
 
 
 
4.
Since all investments were recorded as available for sale, we have reclassified the valuation allowance in accumulated other comprehensive income and the deferred tax asset to eliminate the valuation allowance.  There is no impact on the income statement during the first year.
 
5.
Adjustment of $3.3 million to increase the fair values of loans based on current interest rates of similar loans.  We will recognize this adjustment using the level yield amortization method based upon the expected life of the loans.  We expect this adjustment will decrease pro forma before tax interest income by $330 thousand in the first year following consummation.
 
6.
Adjustments to reflect the fair value of loans include:
 
·  
An adjustment of $3.4 million to reflect the removal of the allowance for loan losses in connection with applying acquisition accounting under ASC 805.   We will apply this adjustment to loans accounted for within the scope of ASC 310-30 (ASC 310-30 occurs as a result of the accounting for the differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor’s initial investment in loans, including those acquired in a business combination, if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality considerations). Old Line Bank’s management and independent loan review personnel determined this amount based on a review of WSB Holdings’ loans. This review considered payment history, relevant collateral values, debt service coverage ratios and other factors.  There is no estimated accretion for this credit quality adjustment in the pro forma statement of income.
 
·  
An additional adjustment of $12.3 million for loans accounted for within the scope of ASC 310-30 as outlined above.  There is no estimated accretion for this credit quality adjustment in the pro forma statement of income.
 
·  
An adjustment of $6.4 million for loans accounted for within the scope of ASC 310-20 at acquisition.  To determine the fair value of the loans within the scope of ASC 310-20, Old Line Bank’s management and independent loan review personnel evaluated WSB Holdings’ loan portfolio and considered the risk characteristics within various pools of loans within the remaining loan portfolio.  This review included payment history, concentrations, quality of underwriting and economic weaknesses.  We will recognize this credit quality adjustment using a level yield analysis.  We anticipate this adjustment will increase pro forma before tax interest income by $541 thousand.
 
·  
An adjustment of $391,191 to eliminate the deferred fees associated with acquired loans.  There is no related adjustment in the pro forma statement of income.
 
The following table reconciles the total loan adjustments:

An adjustment of $1.2 million to reflect the fair value of other real estate owned, based on Old Line Bank’s management detailed analysis of these assets that included site visits where possible and current tax assessed values.  There is no estimated income for this adjustment in the pro forma statement of income.
 
8.
Adjustment of $2.3 million to reflect the fair values of interest bearing time deposit liabilities based on current interest rates for similar instruments.  We will recognize this adjustment using a level yield amortization method based upon the maturities of the deposit liabilities.  We expect this adjustment will decrease pro forma before tax interest expense by $1.3 million the first year following consummation.

Adjustment of $4.6 million to reflect the fair value of long term borrowings held by WSB Holdings.  We plan to repay this debt at or near the acquisition date and there is no estimated expense for this adjustment in the pro forma statement of income.
 
10.
Adjustment to reflect the net deferred tax at a rate of 39.445% related to fair value adjustments on the balance sheet and a statutory tax rate of 39.445% for book tax expense.  We have not taken a tax benefit for certain merger obligations and cost that we do not consider tax deductible.
 
11.
Adjustment of $7.7 million to reflect the increase in fair value for premises and equipment.  We have estimated the amortization of the fair value adjustment over a 30 year period.  We expect this adjustment to increase pro forma occupancy and equipment expense by $151 thousand in the first year of consummation.
 
12.
Adjustment to other assets of $585,944 to eliminate WSB deferred assets.  There is no pro forma statement of income adjustment for this item.
 
13.
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.

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, calculated using the treasury stock method.

For pro forma basic and diluted earnings per common share we have assumed that the shares issued at acquisition are outstanding for the entire nine month or twelve month period, respectively.

In conjunction with the merger we expect to incur approximately $5.0 million in expenses associated with conversion of data processing systems, severance, legal, accounting and consulting fees.  Through September 30, 2012, we had incurred approximately $17,500 in expenses associated with the merger.  We will expense these merger expenses as incurred and have not included them in the pro forma income statement or balance sheet.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Description of Business - Old Line Bancshares, Inc. (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 (Bank).  The primary business of Old Line Bancshares is to own all of the capital stock of Old Line Bank.  We provide a full range of banking services to customers located in Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Prince George’s, and St. Mary’s counties in Maryland and surrounding areas.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation -The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the activity of Old Line Bancshares and its wholly owned subsidiary, Old Line Bank, and its majority owned subsidiary Pointer Ridge Office Investments, LLC (Pointer Ridge), a real estate investment company.  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 report the income of Pointer Ridge attributable to Old Line Bancshares on the consolidated statement of income.

The foregoing consolidated financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2012 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management we have included all adjustments (comprising only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period.  We derived the balances as of December 31, 2011 from audited financial statements.  These statements should be read in conjunction with Old Line Bancshares’ financial statements and accompanying notes included in Old Line Bancshares’ Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.  We have made no significant changes to Old Line Bancshares’ accounting policies as disclosed in the Form 10-K.

The accounting and reporting policies of Old Line Bancshares conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp, Inc.

On April 1, 2011, Old Line Bancshares acquired Maryland Bankcorp, Inc. (Maryland Bankcorp) the parent company of Maryland Bank & Trust Company, N.A. (MB&T). We converted each share of common stock of Maryland Bankcorp into the right to receive, at the holder’s election, $29.11 in cash or 3.4826 shares of Old Line Bancshares’ common stock. We paid cash for any fractional shares of Old Line Bancshares’ common stock and an aggregate cash consideration of $1.0 million.  The total merger consideration was $18.8 million.
 
In connection with the acquisition, MB&T was merged with and into Old Line Bank, with Old Line Bank the surviving bank.
 
In accordance with accounting for business combinations, we included the credit losses evident in the loans in the determination of the fair value of loans at the date of acquisition and eliminated the allowance for loan losses maintained by MB&T at acquisition date.

Core Deposit Intangible

Of the total estimated purchase price, we have allocated an estimate of $12.2 million to net tangible assets acquired and we have allocated $5.0 million to the core deposit intangible which is a definite lived intangible asset. We will amortize the core deposit intangible on an accelerated basis over its estimated useful life of 18 years.  During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the core deposit intangible amortization was $177,582 and $194,674, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the core deposit intangible amortization was $549,839 and $389,349, respectively.

Goodwill

During the second quarter of 2011, we recorded goodwill of $116,723 associated with the acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp.  This amount represented the difference between the estimated fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at acquisition date.  During the third quarter of 2011, the goodwill increased $25,000 as a result of additional liabilities that we identified during the period.  During the fourth quarter of 2011,

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

we received a valuation of the pension plan asset at acquisition date and at December 31, 2011.  As a result of this valuation, in the fourth quarter of 2011, we recorded a $492,067 increase to goodwill to reflect the costs incurred by the pension plan as of the acquisition date.

During the third quarter of 2012, we evaluated goodwill for impairment as required by the accounting guidance and there was no impairment.

Reclassifications -We have made certain reclassifications to the 2011 financial presentation to conform to the 2012 presentation.

Subsequent Events -We evaluated subsequent events after September 30, 2012, through October 31, 2012, the date this report was available to be issued.  No significant subsequent events were identified which would affect the presentation of the financial statements.

As outlined in Footnote 8-Retirement and Employee Stock Ownership Plans, we anticipate that we will complete the termination of the MB& T pension plan by December 31, 2012.  On October 1, 2012, we purchased an annuity contract to transfer the remaining $2,116,489 pension liability, effective November 1, 2012.  We expect to recognize an approximately $930,000 periodic pension expense to eliminate the prepaid pension asset on our balance sheet and reverse a deferred tax liability with a credit to income tax expense in the amount of $406,000 during the fourth quarter of 2012.  We plan to transfer any remaining pension plan assets to the employee 401(k) plan once we have recorded all remaining expenses associated with audits, actuarial and consulting fees to the plan.

As outlined in Footnote 4-Income Taxes, we also anticipate that we will reverse the $545,939 valuation allowance for deferred tax asset that we recorded at the acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp due to uncertainties about the status of the tax return filings and related accounting for income taxes at the April 1, 2011 combination.  During the fourth quarter of 2012, we expect to receive acknowledgement from the Internal Revenue Service of the final amended tax returns filed for Maryland Bankcorp during the third quarter of 2012.  The completion of the tax returns and our profitability in 2012 provides sufficient evidence to support the use of the remaining net operating loss.

As we have previously announced, Old Line Bancshares entered into an agreement and plan of merger with WSB Holdings, Inc. (“WSB”) on September 10, 2012.  On October 24, 2012, we were served with a complaint filed on September 27, 2012, in the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County, Maryland, against WSB and its directors and Old Line Bancshares.  The complaint seeks to enjoin the proposed merger and alleges, among other things, that the members of WSB’s board of directors breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to sell WSB for inadequate and unfair consideration and pursuant to an unfair process.  The complaint also alleges that the directors agreed to provisions in the merger agreement that constitute “onerous and preclusive deal protection devices,” and that certain officers and directors of WSB will receive personal benefits from the merger not shared in by other WSB stockholders.  The complaint further alleges that WSB and Old Line Bancshares aided and abetted such alleged breaches.

We have not yet responded to the complaint, but intend to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

As Old Line Bank purchases 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.  Presented below is a summary of the amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities.

We consider all unrealized losses on securities as of September 30, 2012 to be temporary losses because we will redeem each security at face value at or prior to maturity.  We have the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery or maturity.  As of September 30, 2012, we do not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale and believe that it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost.  In most cases, market interest rate fluctuations cause a temporary impairment in value.  We expect the fair value to recover as the investments approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for these investments decline.  We do not believe that credit quality caused the impairment in any of these securities.  Because we believe these impairments are temporary, we have not realized any loss in our consolidated statement of income.

In the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded gross realized gains of $289,511 and $72,252 respectively, from the sale or call of investment securities.  During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we received $64,345,405 and $29,080,400, respectively, in proceeds from sales or calls of investment securities resulting in realized gains of $849,539 and $112,811, respectively, from the sale or call of securities.

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 Old Line Bank and Old Line Bancshares based on their proportional share of taxable income.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, we anticipate that we will reverse the $545,939 valuation allowance for deferred tax asset that we recorded at the acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp due to uncertainties about the status of the tax return filings and related accounting for income taxes at the April 1, 2011 combination.  During the fourth quarter of 2012, we expect to receive acknowledgement from the Internal Revenue Service of the final amended tax returns filed for Maryland Bankcorp during the third quarter of 2012.  The completion of the tax returns and our profitability in 2012 provides sufficient evidence to support the use of the remaining net operating loss.

Credit policies and Administration

We have adopted a comprehensive lending policy, which includes stringent underwriting standards for all types of loans.  We have designed our underwriting standards to promote a complete banking relationship rather than a transactional relationship.  In an effort to manage risk, prior to funding, the loan committee consisting of the Executive Officers and seven 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 loan concentrations.

In addition to the internal business processes employed in the credit administration area, the Bank retains an outside independent firm to review the loan portfolio.  This firm performs a detailed annual review and an interim update.  We use the results of the firm’s report to validate our internal ratings and we review the commentary on specific loans and on our loan administration activities in order to improve our operations.

LOANS (Continued)

Commercial Real Estate Loans

Commercial real estate lending entails significant risks.  Risks inherent in managing our 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.  We also generally require the personal or corporate guarantee(s) of the owners and/or occupant(s) of the property.  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 meet with the borrower and/or perform site visits as required.  Many of the loans acquired do not comply with underwriting standards that we maintain.  Accordingly, during our due diligence process, we evaluated these loans using our underwriting standards and discounted the book value of these loans.  We subsequently incorporated this discounted book value into our initial purchase price.

Management tracks all loans secured by commercial real estate.  With the exception of loans to the hospitality industry, the properties secured by commercial real estate are diverse in terms of type.  This diversity helps to reduce our exposure to economic events that affect any single market or industry.  As a general rule, we avoid financing single purpose properties unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate the risk.  As previously mentioned, we do have a concentration in the hospitality industry.  At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had approximately $57.4 million and $54.0 million, respectively, of commercial real estate loans to the hospitality industry.  An individual review of these loans indicates that they generally have a low loan to value, more than acceptable existing or projected cash flow, are to experienced operators and are generally dispersed throughout the region.

Real Estate Construction Loans

This segment of our portfolio consists of funds advanced for construction of single family residences, multi-family housing and commercial buildings.  These loans generally 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 also entails significant risk.  These risks involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers with funds advanced upon the security of the land or the project under construction.  An appraisal of the property estimates the value of the project prior to completion of construction.  Thus, it is more difficult to accurately evaluate the total loan funds required to complete a project and related loan to value ratios.  To mitigate the 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, 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 Loans

We offer a variety of consumer oriented residential real estate loans including home equity lines of credit, home improvement loans and first or second mortgages on investment properties.  Our residential loan portfolio consists of 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 residential real estate loans with a security interest in the borrower’s primary or secondary residence with a loan to value not exceeding 85%.  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 originate any subprime residential real estate loans.

Commercial Business Lending

Our commercial business lending consists of lines of credit, revolving credit facilities, accounts receivable financing, term loans, equipment loans, SBA loans, standby letters of credit and unsecured loans.  We originate commercial business loans for any business purpose including the financing of leasehold improvements and equipment, the carrying of accounts receivable, general working capital, 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 generally depend on the success of the business for repayment.  They may also involve high average balances, increased difficulty monitoring and a high risk of default.  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 generally includes a review of the borrower’s annual tax returns and updated financial statements.

Consumer Installment Lending

We offer various types of secured and unsecured consumer loans.  We 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 his or her 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 are risky because they 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 consumer may not repay the loan.  Also, various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount we can recover on such loans.

Concentrations of Credit

Most of our lending activity occurs within the state of Maryland within the suburban Washington D.C. market area in Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Prince George’s and St. Mary’s counties.  The majority of our loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans.  As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the only industry in which we had a concentration of loans was the hospitality industry, as previously mentioned.

Non-Accrual and Past Due Loans

As a result of the acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp, we have segmented the portfolio into two components, loans originated by Old Line Bank (legacy) and loans acquired from MB&T (acquired). We consider all loans past due if the borrower has not paid the required principal and interest payments when due under the original or modified terms of the promissory note or payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due.  When we classify a loan as non-accrual, we no longer accrue interest on such loan and we reverse 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 legacy loans only when received.  We originally recorded acquired non-accrual loans at fair value upon acquisition.  We expect to fully collect the carrying value of these loans.  Therefore, as provided for under ASC 310-30, we recognize interest income on acquired non-accrual loans through the accretion of the difference between the carrying value of these loans and expected cash flows.

We consider all non-performing loans and troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) impaired. We do not recognize interest income on non-performing loans during the time period that the loans are non-performing on either a cash or accrual basis. We only recognize interest income on non-performing loans when we receive payment in full for all amounts due of all contractually required principle and interest, and the loan is current with its contractual terms. The accrued interest on impaired loans was immaterial during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Generally accepted accounting principles require that we record acquired loans at fair value which includes a discount for loans with credit impairment. These loans are not performing according to their contractual terms and meet our definition of an impaired loan. The discounts that arise from recording these loans at fair value were due to credit quality. Although we do not accrue interest income at the contractual rate on these loans, we may accrete these discounts to interest income as a result of pre-payments that exceeds our cash flow expectations or payment in full of amounts due even though we classify them as non-accrual.

Non-accrual legacy loans

At September 30, 2012, we had six non-accrual legacy loans with a total recorded book balance of $3,151,515.  The first non-accrual loan has a contractual balance of $1,616,317.  The borrower and guarantor on this loan have filed bankruptcy.  During the first quarter of 2011, we charged $446,980 to the allowance for loan losses to reduce the balance on this loan from $1,616,317 to $969,377. We had identified a potential buyer for this note who had agreed to purchase it at a price slightly lower than the current carrying value.  In October of 2011, the prospective purchaser of the promissory note rescinded his offer.  In February 2012, we sold at foreclosure the property that secured the promissory note on this loan and expected to receive ratification of the foreclosure and proceeds from the sale of approximately $970,000 during the first quarter of 2012. Therefore, during the first quarter of 2012, we charged an additional $200,000 to the allowance for loan losses to properly reflect the net sales proceeds that we expected to receive. The courts rejected the initial foreclosure. We have subsequently re-foreclosed on the property. We have received ratification of the sale in the third quarter of 2012 and we expect settlement of sale of the property during the fourth quarter of 2012. The non-accrued interest on this loan is $295,523.

The second non-accrual legacy loan is a commercial real estate loan in the amount of $464,978.  The original purpose of this loan was to purchase a building for use as a fast food franchise.  The borrower on this loan executed a lease on land on which the building that secures this loan was built.  The borrower has closed this facility and has

no other available assets. We transferred this loan to non-accrual status during the first quarter of 2012. We are currently in negotiations with the landlord of the land and the borrower. We have received an appraisal that indicates the value of our interest in the property is higher than our loan balance. At this point, we are unable to ascertain the potential loss on this loan.  We have allocated $232,489 of the allowance for loan losses for this loan.  The non-accrued interest on this loan is $20,082.

The third non-accrual legacy loan is a commercial real estate loan in the amount of $886,735.  The borrower’s business has insufficient cash flow to make payments on this loan. We also transferred this loan to non-accrual status during the first quarter of 2012. A current appraisal indicates that the value of the real estate that is the collateral for this loan is sufficient to provide payment in full.  We have not allocated any of the allowance for loan losses for this loan.  The non-accrued interest on this loan is $44,948.

During the third quarter of 2012, we transferred a legacy commercial real estate loan in the amount of $352,478 to non-accrual status.  The borrower is delinquent with payments and would not provide current financial information.  A current appraisal indicates that the value of the real estate that is the collateral for this loan is sufficient to provide payment in full.  We have not allocated any of the allowance for loan losses for this loan.  The non-accrued interest on this loan is $26,654.

During the third quarter of 2012, we also transferred a legacy residential real estate loan in the amount of $469,168 to non-accrual status.  The borrower is delinquent with payments and is experiencing financial difficulties.  A current appraisal indicates that the value of the real estate that is the collateral for this loan is sufficient to provide payment in full.  We have not allocated any of the allowance for loan losses for this loan.  The non-accrued interest on this loan is $14,743.

At December 31, 2011, two non-accrual legacy loans totaling $1,247,312 were past due and classified as non-accrual.  The first loan in the amount of $1,169,337 is a residential land acquisition and development loan secured by real estate and described above.

The second loan is a commercial loan secured by a blanket lien on the borrower’s assets and a second deed of trust on the guarantors’ personal residence.  The borrower has ceased operations and the collateral has no value.  In the first quarter of 2012, we charged the entire balance due to the allowance for loan losses and have filed a judgment against the guarantors.  At December 31, 2011, we had allocated the entire loan balance to the allowance for loan losses.

Acquired impaired loans

Loans acquired in an acquisition are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan and lease losses.  In determining the estimated fair value of these loans, we considered a number of factors including the remaining life of the acquired loans, estimated prepayments, estimated loss ratios, estimated value of the underlying collateral, net present value of cash flows we expect to receive, among others.  As required, we accounted for these acquired loans in accordance with guidance for certain loans acquired in a transfer (ASC 310-30), when the loans have evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that the acquirer will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments.  The difference between contractually required payments and cash flows we expect to collect is the non-accretable difference.  Subsequent negative differences to the expected cash flows will generally result in an increase in the non-accretable difference which would increase our provision for loan losses and decrease net interest income after provision for loan losses.  Subsequent collection of payments on these loans will cause an increase in cash flows that will result in a reduction to the non-accretable difference, which would increase interest revenue.  Because we carry these loans at their fair value, subsequent to acquisition, we do not consider these loans impaired unless we categorize them as non-performing (non-accrual) or as a TDR.  At September 30, 2012, the contract value of the acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 (including non-accrual loans) was $27,280,565.  The fair value adjustments applied to these loans was $13,057,192.

The fair value of these loans (recorded book value) was $14,223,374.  At December 31, 2011, the contract value of the acquired impaired loans (including non-accrual loans) was $31,927,256.  The fair value adjustments applied to these loans was $15,589,151.  The fair value of these loans (recorded book value) was $16,338,105.

Non-accrual acquired loans

At September 30, 2012, we had 27 non-accrual acquired loans with a recorded investment of $5,078,844 and a total contract amount due of $12,686,033.   The non-accrued interest on these loans at September 30, 2012 was $2,027,808.  At December 31, 2011, we had 26 non-accrual acquired loans with a recorded total fair value of $4,583,027 and a total contract amount due of $12,166,461.   The non-accrued interest on these loans at December 31, 2011 was $1,694,324.  As outlined above, at acquisition, we marked these loans to fair value and carry no related allowance for loan losses.

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, real estate loans and commercial loans.  We further divide commercial and real estate 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 collateral separately and assign loss amounts based upon the evaluation.

We determine loss ratios for installment and other consumer loans 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 as follows:

·  
Risk rating 1 (Highest Quality) is normally assigned to investment grade risks, meaning that level of risk is associated with entities having access (or capable of access) to the public capital markets and the loan underwriting in question conforms to the standards of institutional credit providers.  We also include in this category loans with a perfected security interest in U.S. government securities, investment grade government sponsored entities’ bonds, investment grade municipal bonds, insured savings accounts, and insured certificates of deposits drawn on high quality financial institutions.

·  
Risk rating 2 (Good Quality)   is normally assigned to a loan with a sound primary and secondary source of repayment.  The borrower may have access to alternative sources of financing.  This loan carries a normal level of risk, with minimal loss exposure.  The borrower has the ability to perform according to the terms of the credit facility.   Cash flow coverage is greater than 1.25:1 but may be vulnerable to more rapid deterioration than the higher quality loans.  We may also include loans secured by high quality traded stocks, lower grade municipal bonds and uninsured certificates of deposit.

Characteristics of such credits should include: (a) sound primary and secondary repayment sources; (b) strong debt capacity and coverage; (c) good management in all key positions.  A credit secured by a properly margined portfolio of marketable securities, but with some portfolio concentration, also would qualify for this risk rating.

LOANS (Continued)

Additionally, individuals with significant liquidity, low leverage and a defined source of repayment would fall within this risk rating.

·  
Risk rating 3 (Acceptable Quality) is normally assigned when the borrower is a reasonable credit risk and demonstrates the ability to repay the debt from normal business operations.  Risk factors may include reliability of margins and cash flows, liquidity, dependence on a single product or industry, cyclical trends, depth of management, or limited access to alternative financing sources.  Historic financial information may indicate erratic performance, but current trends are positive.  Quality of financial information is adequate, but is not as detailed and sophisticated as information found on higher graded loans.  If adverse circumstances arise, the impact on the borrower may be significant.  We classify many small business loans in this category unless deterioration occurs or we believe the loan requires additional monitoring, such as construction loans, asset based (accounts receivable/inventory) loans, and Small Business Administration (SBA) loans.

·  
Risk rating 4  (Pass/Watch) loans exhibit all the characteristics of a loan graded as a “3” with the exception that there is a greater than normal concern that an external factor may impact the viability of the borrower at some later date; or that the Bank is uncertain because of the lack of financial information available.  We will generally grant this risk rating to credits that require additional monitoring such as construction loans, SBA loans and other loans deemed in need of additional monitoring.

·   
Risk rating 5 (Special Mention)   is assigned to risks in need of close monitoring.  These are defined as classified assets.  Loans generally in this category may have either inadequate information, lack sufficient cash flow or some other problem that requires close scrutiny.  The current worth and debt service capacity of the borrower or of any pledged collateral are insufficient to ensure repayment of the loan.  These risk ratings may also apply to an improving credit previously criticized but some risk factors remain.  All loans in this classification or below should have an action plan.

·  
Risk rating 6 (Substandard)   is assigned to loans where there is insufficient debt service capacity.  These obligations, even if appropriately protected by collateral value, have well defined weaknesses related to adverse financial, managerial, economic, market, or political conditions that have clearly jeopardized repayment of principal and interest as originally intended.  There is also the possibility that we will sustain some future loss if the weaknesses are not corrected.  Clear loss potential, however, does not have to exist in any individual loan we may classify as substandard.

·  
Risk rating 7 (Doubtful) corresponds to the doubtful asset categories defined by regulatory authorities. A loan classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full improbable.  The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonable specific pending factors that may work to strengthening of the asset we have deferred its classification as loss until we may determine a more exact status and estimation of the potential loss.

·  
Risk rating 8 (Loss) is assigned to charged off loans. We consider assets classified as loss   as uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that the asset has no recovery value, but that it is not practical to defer writing off the worthless assets, even though partial recoveries may occur in the future.  We charge off assets in this category.  We consider suggestions from our external loan review firm and bank examiners when determining which loans to charge off.  We automatically charge off consumer loan accounts based on regulatory requirements. We have not allocated any portion of the allowance to loan losses for acquired loans except to the extent that we have not received the projected cash flows.

We individually evaluate all legacy substandard loans risk rated six, certain legacy special mention loans risk rated five and all legacy TDRs, for impairment. We individually evaluate all acquired loans that we risk rated substandard six subsequent to the acquisition, certain acquired special mention loans risk rated five and all acquired TDRs for impairment. We also evaluate all loans acquired and recorded at fair value under ASC 310-30 for impairment.

Our recorded investment in loans as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 related to each balance in the allowance for possible loan losses by portfolio segment and disaggregated on the basis of our impairment methodology was as follows:

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

We account for stock options and restricted stock awards under the fair value method of accounting using a Black-Scholes valuation model to measure stock based compensation expense at the date of grant.  We recognize compensation expense related to stock based compensation awards in our income statements over the period during which we require an individual to provide service in exchange for such award.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $135,381 and $106,118, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $49,521 and $31,302, respectively.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)

We only recognize tax benefits for options that ordinarily will result in a tax deduction when the grant is exercised (non-qualified options).  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized a $15,097 of tax benefits 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 three months ended September 30, 2012 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

We have two equity incentive plans under which we may issue stock options and restricted stock, the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, approved at the 2010 Annual Meeting of stockholders and the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan.  Our Compensation Committee administers the equity incentive plans.  As the plans outline, the Compensation Committee approves stock option and restricted stock grants to directors and employees, determines the number of shares, the type of award, the option or share price, the term (not to exceed 10 years from the date of issuance), the restrictions, and the vesting period of options and restricted stock issued.  The Compensation Committee has approved and we have granted options vesting immediately as well as over periods of two, three and five years and restricted stock awards that vest over periods of twelve months to three years.  We recognize the compensation expense associated with these grants over their respective vesting periods.  At September 30, 2012, there was $188,917 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options and restricted stock awards that we expect to realize over the next 2.25 years.  As of September 30, 2012, there were 145,917 shares remaining available for future issuance under the equity incentive plans.  Directors and officers exercised options to purchase 2,900 shares of common stock during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 and did not exercise any options during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011.

RETIREMENT AND EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLANS

Eligible employees, including those who joined us as part of the MB&T acquisition, 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 salaries and benefits expense, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $78,820 and $84,060, respectively. The Bank’s contributions to the plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $226,237 and $218,991, respectively.

 
The Bank also offers Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (SERPs) to its executive officers providing for retirement income benefits. MB&T also offered SERPs to selected officers and we have assumed that liability at acquisition and all subsequent expenses.  We accrue the present value of the SERPs over the remaining number of years to the executives’ retirement dates.  Old Line Bank’s expenses for the SERPs for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $349,636 and $131,345, respectively. The SERP expense for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $116,545 and $38,605, respectively.  The SERPs are non-qualified defined benefit pension plans that we have not funded.

 
MB&T had an employee benefit plan entitled the Maryland Bankcorp, N.A. KSOP (KSOP).  The KSOP included a profit sharing plan that qualified under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and an employee stock ownership plan.  We have discontinued any future contributions to the employee stock ownership plan.  At September 30, 2012, the KSOP owned 184,360 shares of Bancshares’ stock, had $19,000 invested in Old Line Bank Certificates of Deposit, and $312,978 in Old Line Bank accounts.  We have transferred the MB&T 401(k) assets into the Old Line 401(k) plan discussed above.

MB&T had an employee pension plan that was frozen on June 9, 2003 and no additional benefits accrued subsequent to that date. We notified all plan participants that we have terminated this plan effective August 1, 2011.  As of December 31, 2011, expected future benefit payments to be paid in 2012 were $2.1 million. The plan assets at September 30, 2012 consisted of $5,754 in cash deposited in a demand deposit account and $2,316,313 cash deposited in an interest bearing money market account.  During the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, we distributed $496,859 to participants who elected a lump sum payment in settlement of their liability.  At September 30, 2012, the value of the expected future benefits (liability) was $2,116,489.  As outlined in the subsequent events section of the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies footnote, on October 1, 2012, we purchased an annuity contract to transfer the remaining $2,116,489 liability, effective November 1, 2012.  We did

RETIREMENT AND EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLANS (Continued)

recognize a $100,000 net periodic pension expense during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  We expect to recognize an approximately $930,000 periodic pension expense to eliminate the prepaid
pension asset on our balance sheet and reverse a deferred tax liability with a credit to income tax expense in the amount of $406,000 during the fourth quarter of 2012.  We plan to transfer any remaining pension plan assets to the employee 401(k) plan once we have recorded all remaining expenses associated with audits, actuarial and consulting fees to the plan.  We anticipate that we will complete termination of the plan by December 31, 2012.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

On January 1, 2008, we adopted FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which defines fair value as the price that participants would receive to sell an asset or pay 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.

We value 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 and Sallie Mae (SLMA) equity securities (included in equity securities) at fair value on a recurring basis.  We value treasury securities and SLMA equity securities under Level 1, and collateralized mortgage obligations, agency securities, government sponsored entity securities, and some agency securities under Level 2.  At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we established values for available for sale investment securities as follows (000’s);

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.

9.           FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

We also measure certain non-financial assets such as other real estate owned and repossessed or foreclosed property at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Generally, we estimate the fair value of these items using Level 2 inputs based on observable market data or Level 3 inputs based on discounting criteria.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we estimated the fair value of foreclosed assets using Level 2 inputs to be $3,231,449 and $4,004,609, respectively.  We determined these Level 2 inputs based on appraisal evaluations, offers to purchase and/or appraisals that we obtained from an outside third party during the preceding twelve months.  As a result of the acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp, we have segmented the other real estate owned into two components, real estate obtained as a result of loans originated by Old Line Bank (legacy) and other real estate acquired from MB&T or obtained as a result of loans originated by MB&T (acquired).

The following outlines the transactions in other real estate owned:

Total end of period
  $ 1,651,228     $ 1,580,221     $ 3,231,449  


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.

Investment Securities- We base the fair values of investment securities upon quoted market prices or dealer quotes.

Loans- We estimate the fair value of loans by discounting future cash flows using current rates for which we would make similar loans to borrowers with similar credit histories.  We then adjust this calculated amount for any credit impairment.

Interest bearing deposits- The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand.  We estimate the fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit 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 we have not included these in the following table.

Under ASC Topic 825, entities may choose to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value at specified election dates.  The fair value measurement option (i) may be applied instrument by instrument, with certain exceptions (ii) is generally irrevocable and (iii) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments.  We must report in earnings unrealized gains and losses on items for which we have elected the fair value measurement option at each subsequent reporting date.  We measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis.  These assets and liabilities are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances such as when there is evidence of impairment.  We did not have any financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 or year ended December 31, 2011.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES

ASU No. 2011-02 “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring” amends FASB ASC 310-40 “Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors”.  The amendments specify that in evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following conditions exist:  the restructuring constitutes a concession and the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.  The amendments clarify the guidance on these points and give examples of both conditions.  This update became effective for interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011.  We have included the required disclosures in Note 5.

ASU No. 2011-03 “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements amends FASB ASC 860-10, “Transfers and Servicing-Overall”.  The amendments remove from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial asset on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion.  This update became effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS” amends FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement”.  The amendments will improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).  Among the many areas affected by this update are the concept of highest and best use, the fair value of an instrument included in stockholder’s equity and disclosures about fair value measurement, particularly disclosures about fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  This update became effective for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

ASU No. 2011-05 “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” amends FASB ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income”.  The amendments in this update eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  An entity will have the option to present the total comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  An entity will have the option to present the total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  An entity will be required to present the face of financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income.  This update becomes effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  Included in our consolidated financial statements is a separate statement that outlines the components of comprehensive income.

ASU No. 2011-08 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Testing Goodwill for Impairment” amends Topic 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” to give entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit.  This amendment is effective for annual and interim impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2011 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

ASU 2011-11 “Balance Sheet-Disclosures about Offering Assets and Liabilities” amends Topic 210 “Balance Sheet” to require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about financial instruments such as sales and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreement and securities borrowing/lending arrangements, and derivative instruments that are eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and/or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement.  ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2013, and we do not expect that it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

10.           ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES (Continued)

ASU 2011-12 “Comprehensive Income-Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update 2011-05” defers changes in ASU No. 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments to allow the FASB time to re-deliberate whether to require presentation of such adjustments on the face of the financial statements to show the effects of the reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income.  ASU 2011-12 allows entities to continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU No. 2011-05.  All other requirements in ASU No. 2011-05 are not affected by ASU No. 2011-12.  ASU 2011-12 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

ASU 2012-2 “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Improvement” amends Topic 350 “Intangible-Goodwill and Other” provides an entity the option not to calculate annually the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset if the entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the asset is impaired. ASU 2012-2 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after July 27, 2012 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

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, 2011, 2010, and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011.  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, 2011, 2010, and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We report the non-controlling interests in Pointer Ridge separately in the consolidated balance sheets.  We report the income of Pointer Ridge attributable to Bancshares from the date of our acquisition of majority interest on the consolidated statements 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 based compensation awards -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, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we recorded stock based compensation expense of $132,661, $118,127 and $119,711, respectively.

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 years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 we recognized a tax benefit associated with the portion of the expense that was related to the issuance of non-qualified options of $10,124 and $8,298, respectively.  There were no non-qualified options included in the expense calculation for the year ended December 31, 2011.

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.

Other real estate owned -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.  Generally, 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 or the borrower has filed bankruptcy.

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.

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.  If needed, we use a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount we expect to realize.  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.

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 and unrealized gain (loss) on the pension plan.

Reclassifications- We have made certain reclassifications to the 2010 and 2009 financial presentation to conform to the 2011 presentation.

Subsequent Events -We evaluated subsequent events after December 31, 2011 through March 23, 2012, the date this report was available to be issued.  As outlined in Note 6. Loans, in February 2012, we sold at foreclosure the property that secured the promissory note on a non-accrual loan in the amount of $1,169,337.  We anticipate ratification of the foreclosure will occur during the second quarter of 2012 and that we will receive approximately $966,000 from the sales proceeds and charge approximately $203,000 to the allowance for loan losses.

Acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp, Inc.

On April 1, 2011, Bancshares acquired Maryland Bankcorp, Inc. (Maryland Bankcorp) the parent company of Maryland Bank & Trust Company, N.A. (MB&T). We converted each share of common stock of Maryland Bankcorp into the right to receive, at the holder’s election, $29.11 in cash or 3.4826 shares of Bancshares’ common stock.  We paid cash for any fractional shares of Bancshares’ common stock and an aggregate cash consideration of $1.0 million.  The total merger consideration was $18.8 million.
 
In connection with the acquisition, MB&T was merged with and into Old Line Bank, with Old Line Bank the surviving bank.

The Bank may carry balances with other banks that exceed the federally insured limit. The average balance exceeded the federally insured limit by $11,327,498 in 2011, by $13,403,045 in 2010 and by $11,263,538 in 2009.  The Bank also sells federal funds on an unsecured basis to the same banks.  The average balance sold was $4,511,838, $2,720,879 and $458,457 in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Federal banking regulations 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.

Total unrealized losses

We consider all unrealized losses on securities as of December 31, 2011 to be temporary losses because we will redeem each security at face value at or prior to maturity.  We have the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery or maturity.  As of December 31, 2011, we do not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale and believe that it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost.  In most cases, market interest rate fluctuations cause a temporary impairment in value.  We expect the fair value to recover as the investments approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for these investments decline.  We do not believe that credit quality caused the impairment in any of these securities.  Because we believe these impairments are temporary, we have not realized any loss in our consolidated statement of income.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we received $17,716,257 in proceeds from sales or calls of investment securities resulting in gross realized gains of $140,149.  We did not sell any investment securities during the year ended December 31, 2010. During 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.

As a result of the acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp, we determined that it was appropriate to evaluate the investment portfolio to ensure that the acquired securities met our criteria and provided adequate liquidity.  This analysis indicated that it was prudent to reposition the portfolio and as a result we elected to sell a held to maturity security during the second quarter of 2011.  We received total proceeds of $514,079 from this sale.  At the time of sale, the book value of this security was $488,457 and we recorded a gain of $25,622.  As required by accounting guidance, we subsequently reclassified all securities classified as held to maturity to available for sale.

4.           Investment Securities (Continued)

At the time of the transfer to available for sale, the book value of the held to maturity securities was $19,962,205 and the market value was $20,779,758.  Accordingly, we recorded an increase to accumulated other comprehensive of $417,553.

Contractual maturities and pledged securities at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, 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.  We have pledged securities to customers who have funds invested in overnight repurchase agreements and deposits.

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.

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 fixed expiration dates, and may require payment of a fee.  Lines of credit generally have variable interest rates and fixed expiration dates.  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.

Loans (Continued)

Credit Policies and Administration
We have adopted a comprehensive lending policy, which includes stringent underwriting standards for all types of loans.  We have designed our underwriting standards to promote a complete banking relationship rather than a transactional relationship.  In an effort to manage risk, prior to funding, the loan committee consisting of the Executive Officers and seven 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 loan concentrations.

In addition to the internal business processes employed in the credit administration area, the Bank retains an outside independent firm to review the loan portfolio.  This firm performs a detailed annual review and an interim update.  We use the results of the firm’s report to validate our internal rating and we review the commentary on specific loans and on our loan administration activities in order to improve our operations.  Many of the loans acquired do not comply with underwriting standards that we maintain.  Accordingly, during our due diligence process, we evaluated these loans using our underwriting standards and discounted the book value of these loans.  This discounted book value was subsequently incorporated into our initial purchase price.

Commercial Real Estate Loans
We finance commercial real estate for our clients, for owner occupied and investment properties.  We will generally finance owner occupied commercial real estate at a maximum loan to value of 85% and investor real estate at a maximum loan to value of 75%.  Our underwriting policies and processes focus on the clients’ ability to repay the loan as well as an assessment of the underlying real estate.  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 view these loans primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate.  Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan.

Commercial real estate lending entails significant risks.  Risks inherent in managing our 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.  We also generally require the personal or corporate guarantee(s) of the owners and/or occupant(s) of the property.  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 meet with the borrower and/or perform site visits as required.

Management tracks all loans secured by commercial real estate.  With the exception of loans to the hospitality industry, the properties secured by commercial real estate are diverse in terms of type.  This diversity helps to reduce our exposure to economic events that affect any single market or industry.  As a general rule, we avoid financing single purpose properties unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate the risk.  As previously mentioned, we have a concentration in the hospitality industry.  At December 31, 2011, we had approximately $54.0 million of commercial real estate loans outstanding to the hospitality industry.  An individual review of these loans indicates that they generally have a low loan to value, more than acceptable existing or projected cash flow, are to experienced operators and are generally dispersed throughout the region.

Real Estate Construction Loans
 
This segment of our portfolio consists of funds advanced for construction of single family residences, multi-family housing and commercial buildings.  These loans generally have short durations, meaning
 
 
 
 
 
F-62

 
 
 
6.
Loans (Continued)

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.  The vast majority of these loans are concentrated in our primary market area.

Construction lending also entails significant risk.  These risks involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers with funds advanced upon the security of the land or the project under construction.  An appraisal of the property estimates the value of the project prior to completion of construction.  Thus, it is more difficult to accurately evaluate the total loan funds required to complete a project and related loan to value ratios.  To mitigate the risks, we generally limit loan amounts to 80% or less of appraised values and obtain first lien positions on the property.  We generally only offer real estate construction financing to experienced builders, 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 Loans
We offer a variety of consumer oriented residential real estate loans including home equity lines of credit, home improvement loans and first or second mortgages on investment properties.  Our residential loan portfolio consists of 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 residential real estate loans with a security interest in the borrower’s primary or secondary residence with a loan to value not exceeding 85%.  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 originate any subprime residential real estate loans.

Commercial Business Lending
Our commercial business lending consists of lines of credit, revolving credit facilities, accounts receivable financing, term loans, equipment loans, SBA loans, standby letters of credit and unsecured loans.  We originate commercial business loans for any business purpose including the financing of leasehold improvements and equipment, the carrying of accounts receivable, general working capital, 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 generally depend on the success of the business for repayment.  They may also involve high average balances, increased difficulty monitoring and a high risk of default.  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 generally includes a review of the borrower’s annual tax returns and updated financial statements.

Loans (Continued)

Consumer Installment Lending
We offer various types of secured and unsecured consumer loans.  We 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 his or her 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 are risky because they 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 consumer may not repay the loan.  Also, various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount we can recover on such loans.

Concentrations of Credit
Most of our lending activity occurs within the state of Maryland within the suburban Washington, D.C. market area in Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Prince George’s and St. Mary’s counties.  The majority of our loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans.  As of December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the only industry in which we had a concentration of loans was the hospitality industry, as previously mentioned.

Non-Accrual and Past Due Loans
We consider loans past due if the borrower has not paid the required principal and interest payments when due.  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.  When we classify a loan as non-accrual, we no longer accrue interest on such loan and we reverse 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 legacy loans only when received.   We originally recorded acquired non-accrual loans at fair value upon acquisition.  We expect to fully collect the carrying value of these loans.  Therefore, as provided for under ASC 310-30, we recognize interest income on acquired non-accrual loans through the accretion of the difference between the carrying value of these loans and expected cash flows.

We consider a loan a troubled debt restructuring when we conclude that both of the following conditions exist:  the restructuring constitutes a concession and the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.

Non-accrual legacy loans

At December 31, 2011, two non-accrual legacy loans totaling $1,247,312 were past due and classified as non-accrual.  The first loan in the amount of $1,169,337 is a residential land acquisition and development loan secured by real estate and described below.  At December 31, 2011, the non-accrued interest on this loan was $212,484, none of which was included in interest income.  The borrower and guarantor on this loan have filed bankruptcy.  During the 1 st quarter of 2011, we charged $446,980 to the allowance for loan losses and reduced the balance on this loan from $1,616,317 to $1,169,337.  We have an additional $65,000 of the allowance for loan losses specifically allocated to this loan.  We had identified a potential buyer for this note who had agreed to purchase it at a price slightly lower than the current carrying value.  In October of 2011, the prospective purchaser of the promissory note rescinded his offer.  In February 2012, the property that secures the promissory note was sold at foreclosure for an amount less than our carrying fair value.  We anticipate ratification of the foreclosure will occur during the second quarter of 2012 and that we will receive approximately $966,000 from the sales proceeds and charge approximately $203,000 to the allowance for loan losses.

The second loan is a commercial loan secured by a blanket lien on the borrower’s assets and a second deed of trust on the guarantors’ personal residence.  The borrower has ceased operations and the collateral has no value.  In the first quarter of 2012, we charged the entire balance due to the allowance for loan losses and have filed a judgment against the guarantors.  At December 31, 2011, we had allocated the entire loan balance to the allowance for loan losses.

 
At December 31, 2010, we had three loans totaling $2,710,619 past due and classified as non-accrual.  The first loan in the amount of $810,291 is the same loan that we previously reported in our December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 financial statements.  At December 31, 2010, we had obtained a “lift

stay” on the property and were awaiting ratification of foreclosure.  We received this ratification in January 2011 and transferred this property to other real estate owned.  At December 31, 2010, the non-accrued interest on this loan was $212,937.

The second loan in the amount of $1,616,317 is the residential acquisition and development loan secured by real estate discussed above.  At December 31, 2010, we considered this loan impaired and had allocated $450,000 of the allowance for loan losses to this loan.  At December 31, 2010, the interest not accrued on this loan was $101,867.

The third loan at December 31, 2010 was a luxury boat loan in the amount of $284,011.  The borrower on this loan has also filed bankruptcy.  At December 31, 2010, the interest not accrued on this loan was $3,728.   During the 1 st quarter of 2011, we repossessed the boat, charged $47,261 to the allowance for loan losses and recorded the remaining balance of $236,750 as repossessed property in other assets.  During the 4 th quarter of 2011, we sold this boat and recorded a loss in other operating expense of $120,741 on the sale.

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.  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.  As outlined above, in 2010, we obtained a “lift stay” on the commercial property that secures this loan and proceeded with foreclosure.

As outlined in Note 2-Acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp, Inc., loans acquired in an acquisition are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan and lease losses.  In determining the estimated fair value of these loans, we considered a number of factors including the remaining life of the acquired loans, estimated prepayments, estimated loss ratios, estimated value of the underlying collateral, net present value of cash flows we expect to receive, among others.  As required, we accounted for these acquired loans in accordance with guidance for certain loans acquired in a transfer, when the loans have evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that the acquirer will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments.  The difference between contractually required payments and cash flows we expect to collect is the non-accretable difference.  Subsequent negative differences to the expected cash flows will generally result in an increase in the non-accretable difference which would increase our provision expense and decrease net interest income.  Subsequent collection of payments on these loans will cause an increase in cash flows that will result in a reduction to the non-accretable difference, which would increase interest revenue.  At December 31, 2011, the contract value of the acquired impaired loans (including non-accrual loans) was $31,927,256.  The fair value adjustments applied to these loans was $15,589,151.  The fair value of these loans (recorded book value) was $16,338,106.

Non-accrual acquired loans

At December 31, 2011, we had 22 non-accrual acquired loans to 17 borrowers with a recorded total fair value of $4,583,027 and a total contract amount due of $12,166,461.   The non-accrued interest on these loans at December 31, 2011 was $1,694,324.  As outlined above, at acquisition, we marked these loans to fair value and carry no related allowance for loan losses.

Credit Quality Indicators
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, real estate loans and commercial loans.  We further divide commercial and real estate 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 collateral separately and assign loss amounts based upon the evaluation.

We determine loss ratios for installment and other consumer loans and real estate loans 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 as follows:

o  
Risk rating 1 (Highest Quality) is normally assigned to investment grade risks, meaning that level of risk is associated with entities having access (or capable of access) to the public capital markets and the loan underwriting in question conforms to the standards of institutional credit providers.  We also include in this category loans with a perfected security interest in U.S. government securities, investment grade government sponsored entities’ bonds, investment grade municipal bonds, insured savings accounts, and insured certificates of deposits drawn on high quality financial institutions.

o  
Risk rating 2 (Good Quality)   is normally assigned to a loan with a sound primary and secondary source of repayment.  The borrower may have access to alternative sources of financing.  This loan carries a normal level of risk, with minimal loss exposure.  The borrower has the ability to perform according to the terms of the credit facility.   Cash flow coverage is greater than 1.25:1 but may be vulnerable to more rapid deterioration than the higher quality loans.  We may also include loans secured by high quality traded stocks, lower grade municipal bonds and uninsured certificates of deposit.

Characteristics of such credits should include: (a) sound primary and secondary repayment sources; (b) strong debt capacity and coverage; (c) good management in all key positions.  A credit secured by a properly margined portfolio of marketable securities, but with some portfolio concentration, also would qualify for this risk rating.  Additionally, individuals with significant liquidity, low leverage and a defined source of repayment would fall within this risk rating.
 
 
 
F-69

Loans (Continued)

o  
Risk rating 3 (Acceptable Quality) is normally assigned when the borrower is a reasonable credit risk and demonstrates the ability to repay the debt from normal business operations.  Risk factors may include reliability of margins and cash flows, liquidity, dependence on a single product or industry, cyclical trends, depth of management, or limited access to alternative financing sources.  Historic financial information may indicate erratic performance, but current trends are positive.  Quality of financial information is adequate, but is not as detailed and sophisticated as information found on higher graded loans.  If adverse circumstances arise, they may significantly impact the borrower. We classify many small business loans in this category unless deterioration occurs or we believe the loan requires additional monitoring, such as construction loans, asset based (accounts receivable/inventory) loans, and Small Business Administration (SBA) loans.

o  
Risk rating 4  (Pass/Watch)These loans exhibit all the characteristics of a loan graded as a “3” with the exception that there is a greater than normal concern that an external factor may impact the viability of the borrower at some later date; or that the Bank is uncertain because of the lack of financial information available.  We will generally grant this risk rating to credits that require additional monitoring such as construction loans, SBA loans and other loans deemed in need of additional monitoring.

o  
Risk ratings 5 (Special Mention)   is assigned to risks in need of close monitoring.  These are defined as classified assets.  Loans generally in this category may have either inadequate information, lack sufficient cash flow or some other problem that requires close scrutiny.  The current worth and debt service capacity of the borrower or of any pledged collateral are insufficient to ensure repayment of the loan.  These risk ratings may also apply to an improving credit previously criticized but some risk factors remain.  All loans in this classification or below should have an action plan.

o  
Risk rating 6 (Substandard)   is assigned to loans where there is insufficient debt service capacity.  These obligations, even if apparently protected by collateral value, have well defined weaknesses related to adverse financial, managerial, economic, market, or political conditions that have clearly jeopardized repayment of principal and interest as originally intended.  There is also the possibility that the bank will sustain some future loss if the weaknesses are not corrected.  Clear loss potential, however, does not have to exist in any individual loan we may classify as substandard.

o  
Risk rating 7 (Doubtful) corresponds to the doubtful asset categories defined by regulatory authorities. A loan classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full improbable.  The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonable specific pending factors that may work to strengthening of the asset we have deferred its classification as loss until we may determine a more exact status and estimation of the potential loss.

o  
Risk rating 8 (Loss) is assigned to charged off loans. We consider assets classified as loss   as uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that the asset has no recovery value, but that it is not practical to defer writing off the worthless assets, even though partial recoveries may occur in the future.  We charge off assets in this category.

Short Term Borrowings

 
Bancshares has available an unsecured $3.0 million line of credit. The Bank has available lines of credit including overnight federal funds and reverse repurchase agreements from its correspondent banks totaling $29.5 million as of December 31, 2011.  The Bank has an additional secured line of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) of $241.0 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, 2011, we had provided $72.3 million in collateral value and as outlined below have borrowed $10.0 million.  We have additional available borrowing capacity of $62.3 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 or overnight repurchase agreements sold to the Bank’s customers, federal funds purchased and advances from the FHLB.

 
The Bank sells short term promissory notes to its customers. These notes re-price daily and have maturities of 270 days or less.  Federal funds purchased are unsecured, overnight borrowings from other financial institutions.  Short term borrowings from the FHLB have a remaining maturity of less than one year.

The Bank has entered into various transactions with firms in which owners are also members of the Board of Directors.  Fees charged for these services are at similar rates charged by unrelated parties for similar work.  Amounts paid to these related parties totaled $188,250, $369 and $21,566, during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 
Effective November 1, 2008, we purchased Chesapeake Custom Homes, L.L.C.’s 12.5% membership interest in Pointer Ridge for the book value of $205,000.  This purchase increased Bancshares’ membership interest from 50.0% to 62.5%.  Frank Lucente, a director of Bancshares and the Bank, is the President and 52.0% stockholder of Lucente Enterprises, Inc.  Lucente Enterprises, Inc. is the manager and majority member of Chesapeake Custom Homes, L.L.C.  Lucente Enterprises has retained its 12.5% membership interest in Pointer Ridge.  In 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Bank paid Pointer Ridge $558,558, $542,290 and $526,494 in lease payments, respectively.

We initially recorded a valuation allowance of $1.2 million for the deferred tax asset with the acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp because of our uncertainty about our ability to utilize its net operating loss (NOL) carryover and built in losses, and because of uncertainty about the status of the tax return filings and related accounting for income taxes at the April 1, combination date.  We applied $154,000 of the allowance to tax liabilities associated with the defined benefit plan.  Based on our year end evaluation of the up to date tax returns, the related accounting for income taxes, and our ability to utilize the net operating losses (NOL) and built in losses acquired with Maryland Bankcorp, we further reduced the valuation allowance by $500,000 with a credit to income tax expense.

Maryland Bankcorp had NOL carryovers of $3.54 million at the time of our business combination.  We succeed to these carryovers and may take limited annual deductions allowed by the Internal Revenue Code.  We may deduct up to $645,278 for 2011 and $856,459 per year thereafter until we have fully used the NOL.  The amount we may deduct in any year will be reduced if we recognize a built in loss in such year or if our taxable income is lower than the statutory NOL deduction.  If the NOL is not used by the limited annual deductions, $2.336 million will expire in 2030 and $1.18 million will expire in 2031.

Retirement and Employee Stock Ownership Plans

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 $302,615, $158,523 and $132,284 for 2011, 2010, and 2009, 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 ($11,282), $221,814 and $133,758 in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

 
MB&T had an employee benefit plan entitled the Maryland Bankcorp, N.A. KSOP (KSOP).  The KSOP included a profit sharing plan that qualified under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and an employee stock ownership plan.  We have discontinued any future contributions to the employee stock ownership plan.  At December 31, 2011, the employee stock ownership plan owned 181,508 shares of Bancshares’ stock, had $10,000 invested in Old Line Bank Certificates of Deposit, and  $4,675 in an Old Line Bank money market account.  We have transferred the MB&T 401(k) assets into the Old Line 401(k) plan discussed above.

MB&T had an employee pension plan (MB&T Pension Plan) that was frozen on June 9, 2003 and no additional benefits accrued subsequent to that date.  We have notified all plan participants that we have terminated this plan effective August 1, 2011.  We have liquidated the securities the plan held, deposited the proceeds into interest bearing certificates of deposit and a money market account and expect to distribute the remaining balances prior to December 31, 2012.  As of December 31, 2011, expected future benefit payments to be paid in 2012 are $2,052,353.  We are unable to predict any income or loss that may occur as a result of the termination.  At this time we do not expect to incur any significant expenses with the termination of this plan.

The MB&T Pension Plan covered substantially all employees of MB&T who had completed one year of service and reached twenty-one years of age.  Employees with five or more years of vested service were entitled to annual pension benefits beginning at normal retirement age of sixty five equal to the sum of 0.75% of final average earnings plus 0.60% of final average earnings in excess of covered compensation, multiplied by credited service not greater than thirty years.  The MB&T Pension Plan permitted early retirement at age 55 or over with the completion of five years of vesting service.  The annual early retirement benefit is the deferred vested benefit, reduced by one half of one percent for each month the actual retirement date precedes the normal retirement date.  The normal form of pension benefit was a benefit payable during the lifetime of the retired participant and surviving spouse beneficiary.

Net period pension cost (income) for the Pension Plan is as follows:

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, 2011, 2010 and 2009, 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.

Commitments and Contingencies
 
As of December 31, 2011, we leased 14 branch locations and 5 loan production offices 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, 2011, are presented below.  We have eliminated 62.5% of lease commitments to Pointer Ridge in consolidation.

Rent expense was $1,172,843, $521,637 and $475,113 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, 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.

Fair Value Measures

FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures 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, municipalities, 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, 2011, we established values for available for sale investment securities as follows (000’s);

2009
 
Level 1 inputs
  $ 24,450     $ 2,111     $ 4,708  
Level 2 inputs

Level 3 inputs
    -       -       -  
Investment securities available for sale
  $ 161,785     $ 33,050     $ 28,013  

 
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.

We value other real estate owned at fair value on a non-recurring basis.  We measure other real estate owned at fair value less cost to sell.  As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of foreclosed assets was estimated to be $4,004,609.  We determined fair value based on offers to purchase and/or appraisals.  We based the cost to sell real estate on standard market factors.  We categorize foreclosed real estate as Level 3.   As a result of the acquisition of Maryland Bankcorp, we have segmented the other real estate owned into two components, real estate obtained as a result of loans originated by the Bank (legacy) and other real estate owned acquired from MB&T or obtained as a result of loans originated by MB&T (acquired).

We use the following methodologies for estimating fair values of financial instruments that we do not measure on a recurring or non-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 fixed rate 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. The book value of variable rate loans equals the fair value.

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.

21.           Stockholders’ Equity

 
Stock Options

We have two stock option plans under which we may issue options, the 2004 and 2010 Equity Incentive Plans.  On December 31, 2011, the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan expired.  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, 2011, there were 249,042 shares remaining available for future issuance under the stock option plans.  The source of shares exercised is authorized but unissued shares.

The intrinsic value of the options that directors and officers exercised for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 was $29,259, $55,659 and $0, respectively.

A summary of the status of the outstanding options follows:

21.           Stockholders’ Equity (Continued)

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 2009, we also repurchased at a fair market value of $225,000 the warrant to purchase 141,892 shares of our common stock.

(unaudited)

1.        Financial Statements
 
          The Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared by WSB Holdings, Inc. ("WSB" or the “Company”) without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at September 30, 2012, and for all periods presented, have been made.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

          Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.   Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “2011 Annual Report”), a copy of which is available at www.twsb.com and www.sec.gov.  The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year, or any other period.
 
          Certain prior year's amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.

3.  
Stock-Based Compensation

    We have incentive compensation plans that permit the granting of incentive and non-qualified awards in the form of stock options.  Generally, the terms of these plans stipulate that the exercise price of options may not be less than the fair market value of WSB’s common stock on the date the options are granted.  Options predominantly vest over a two year period from the date of grant, and expire not later than ten years from the date of grant.

   There were no awards granted during 2012 or 2011.  There was no pre-tax stock-based compensation during the three and nine months ending September 30, 2012 and 2011.

              All outstanding options are vested and there is currently no unrealized compensation cost related to non-vested share based compensation arrangements.
 
         Equity Incentive Plans – On April 27, 2011, the stockholders of WSB Holdings, Inc. approved the adoption of the WSB Holdings, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, which reserve shares of common stock for issuance to certain key employees and non-employee directors.  The maximum number of shares of our common stock that be issued with respect to awards granted under the plan is 500,000 plus (i) any shares of common stock that are available under the Washington Savings Bank 2001 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2001 Plan”) as of its termination date (which was April 27, 2011) and (ii) shares of common stock subject to options granted under the 2001 Plan that expire or terminate without having been fully exercised.  In no event, however, may the number of shares issuable pursuant to incentive stock options exceed 500,000.

4.  
Fair Value Measurements

       The Company applies guidance issued by FASB regarding fair value measurements which provides a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. This guidance requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet in periods subsequent to initial recognition, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, available-for-sale investment securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired loans). This guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
 
We utilize fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011
(unaudited)

Under the fair value measurement guidance, we group assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine the fair value. These hierarchy levels are:

Level 1 inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

            For the nine months ending September 30, 2012, there were no transfers between levels 1, 2 or 3.

           An asset or liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Management reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications of our assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis.
 
 The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale

    Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange such as the New York   Stock Exchange, Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.  With the exception of our private labeled mortgage-backed securities, all securities available for sale are classified as Level 2.
 
Loans
 
      We do not record loans held-for-investment at fair value on a recurring basis, however, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan loss is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principle will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan are considered impaired.  Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in

accordance with the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification Receivables Topic.  The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including the collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring a specific allowance represent loans for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. At September 30, 2012, all of the totally impaired loans were evaluated based upon the fair value of the collateral and/or discounted cash flows. In accordance with guidance regarding fair value measurements, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we record the loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, we record the loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Loans Held for Sale - Loans held for sale are valued based on quotations from the secondary market for similar instruments and are classified as level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Foreclosed Assets
 
Foreclosed assets are adjusted for fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value and fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised value of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we record the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, we record the foreclosed asset at nonrecurring Level 3.

   Assets included in Level 3 include our private-labeled mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) due to lack of observable market data due to decreases in market activity for these securities.  Our policy is to recognize transfers in and out as of the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.  No assets were transferred to Level 3 during the period ending September 30, 2012.  The change in the assets included in Level 3 was due to sales, principal repayments and the change in unrealized gains/losses for the nine month period ending September 30, 2012.  The following assumptions were used for the Level 3 valuations on the four remaining private-labeled MBS:

o  
Estimated future defaults are derived by an analysis of the performance of the underlying collateral as well as obtaining models from a third party.  The model addresses each component of the net present value calculation, which includes loss severity rate, current default rate and current voluntary prepayment rate.
 
o  
Each individual security is reviewed and an analysis is prepared for specific credit characteristics of the underlying collateral including recent developments specific to each organization issuing the security, market liquidity, extension risks and credit rating downgrades and an estimate of future defaults is derived.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
 
      We may be required from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period.

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a principal balance of $33.8 million, with a related valuation allowance of $1.1 million, at September 30, 2012 compared to principal balance of $31.3 million, with a related valuation allowance of $2.9 million, at December 31, 2011.
 
          Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is carried at the lower of our recorded investment or fair value at the date of acquisition.  Write-downs to fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Subsequent write downs are included in non-interest expense.  Costs relating to the development and improvement of a property are capitalized, whereas those relating to holding the property are charged to expense when incurred.  The real estate is carried at the lower of acquisition or fair value net of estimated costs to sell subsequent to acquisition.  Operating expenses of real estate owned are reflected in other non-interest expenses.  The value of OREO properties held due to foreclosures at September 30, 2012 was $4.9 million compared to $4.8 million at December 31, 2011.
 
          Impaired loans and real estate acquired in settlement of loans are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

Investment in Federal Home Loan Bank Stock - The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock is a reasonable estimate of fair value as FHLB stock does not have a readily available market and can only be sold back to the FHLB at its par value of $100 per share.
 
Bank Owned Life Insurance - The carrying amount of Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) purchased on a group of officers is a reasonable estimate of fair value.   BOLI is an insurance product that provides an effective way to offset current employee benefit costs.
 
Deposits - The fair value of non-interest bearing accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair value of interest-bearing deposits is determined using the discounted cash flow method.  The discount rate used is the rate currently offered on similar products.

     Borrowings – The fair value of borrowings is determined using the discounted cash flow method.  The discount rate used is the rate currently offered on similar products.

        Commitments to Grant Loans and Standby Letters of Credit and Financial Guarantees Written - The majority of our commitments to grant loans and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written carry current market interest rates if converted to loans.  Because commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are generally un-assignable by either the Bank or the borrower, they only have value to the Bank and the borrower and therefore it is impractical to assign any value to these commitments .
 
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively reevaluated for purposes of these financial statements since reporting period ending September 30, 2012 and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

The risks associated with each portfolio class are as follows:

First mortgage loans secured by single family residences,  secured by 5 or more residential, secured by other properties and second mortgage loans – The primary risks related to this type of lending include; unemployment, deterioration in real estate values, our ability to access the creditworthiness of the customer, deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition (whether the result of personal issues or general economic downturn), the inability of the borrower to maintain occupancy for investment properties, and an appraisal on a property is not reflective of the true property value.  Portfolio risk includes condition of the economy, changing demand for these types of loans, large concentration of these types of loans and geographic concentration of these types of loans.

Construction loans – Since this portfolio is substantially owner occupied residential construction loans, the loan specific risks and portfolio risks are the same as described above as first mortgage loans secured by single family residences.  However these loans carry the additional risk associated with the builder and the potential for builder cost overruns and/or the builder being unable to complete the construction.

Land development loans and land acquisition loans – The primary loan-specific risk in land and land development are: unemployment, deterioration of the business and/or collateral values, deterioration of the financial condition of the borrowers and/or guarantors creates a risk of default, and that an appraisal on the collateral is not reflective of the true property value. These loans usually include funding for the acquisition and development of unimproved properties to be used for residential or non-residential construction.  We may provide permanent financing on the same projects for which we have provided the development and construction financing.  Portfolio risk includes condition of the economy, changing demand for these types of loans, large concentration of these types of loans, and geographic concentrations of these types of loans.

Commercial loans and commercial loans secured by real estate – The primary loan-specific risks in these types of loans are: unemployment, general deterioration in the economy, deterioration of the business and/or business cash flows, financial condition of the guarantors, deterioration of collateral values, and that an appraisal on any real estate collateral is not reflective of the true property value.  Portfolio risk includes condition of the economy, changing demand for these types of loans, large concentration of these types of loans, and geographic concentration of these types of loans.

Loans secured by savings accounts and consumer installment loans- The primary risks of these loans are unemployment and deterioration of the borrower’s financial condition, whether the result of personal issues or a general economic downturn.  The portfolio risks for these types of loans is the same as for first mortgage loans secured by single family residences as described above.

As part of our on-going monitoring of the credit quality of our loan portfolio, we categorize loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to repay their debt.  Current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, current economic trends and other factors are used to categorize loans into risk categories.
 
Credit quality indicators as of September 30, 2012 are as follows:
 
Pass: Loans classified as pass generally meet or exceed normal credit standards.  Factors include repayment source, collateral, borrower cash flows, and performance history.
 
Special Mention:  Loans classified as special mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s attention. These loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to currently warrant adverse classification.

Substandard:  Loans classified as substandard are loans that have a well-defined weakness. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  These loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged as security for the asset.
 
Doubtful:  Loans classified as doubtful consist of loans where we expect a loss, but not a total loss.  These loans have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset, in addition, these weaknesses make collection highly questionable or improbable based on the existing circumstances.
 
Loss:  Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible.  A loan classified as a loss does not mean that an asset has no recovery value, but that it is practical to defer writing off or reserving all or a portion of the asset, even though partial recovery may be collected in the future.  Loans that are classified as loss are fully reserved for on our financial statements.
 
Credit risk profile by internally assigned grade, as described above for the periods ending September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is as follows:

Loans on which the recognition of interest has been discontinued amounted to approximately $14.3 million and $12.8 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  If interest income had been recognized on those loans at their stated rates during the period ending September 30, 2012 and year ended December 31, 2011, interest income would have been increased by approximately $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The total allowance for loan losses on our impaired loans was approximately $1.1 million at September 30, 2012 and $2.9 million at December 31, 2011.
 
The impaired loans included in the table above were comprised of collateral dependent 1-4 residential real estate, lot loans and commercial real estate loans. The average recorded investment in impaired loans was $37.4 million and $24.0 million for the nine month periods ending September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.

A troubled debt restructure (“TDR”) is when we grant a concession to borrowers that the Bank would not otherwise have considered due to a borrower’s financial difficulties.  All TDRs are considered “impaired”.  The substantial majority of our residential real estate TDRs involved reducing the interest rate for a specified period.  We also have restructured loans involving the restructure of loan terms such as a reduction in the payment requiring interest only payments and/or extending the maturity date of these loans.

We had approximately $22.8 million in TDRs at September 30, 2012, with approximately $520,000 added during the nine month period ending September 30, 2012, the majority of which were on accrual status.

The portfolio classified as “Available for Sale” is consistent with management’s assessment and intention as to the portfolio.  While we have the ability to hold the securities until maturity, from time to time or with changing conditions, it may be advantageous to sell certain securities either to take advantage of favorable interest rate changes or to increase liquidity.  Securities classified as “Held to Maturity” are not subject to fair value adjustment due to temporary changes in value due to interest rate variations, while securities classified as “Available for Sale” are subject to adjustment in carrying value through the accumulated comprehensive income line item in Stockholder’s Equity section of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.

  In evaluating whether a security was other than temporarily impaired, we considered the severity and length of time impaired for each security in a loss position. Other qualitative data was also considered including recent developments specific to the organization issuing the security, market liquidity, extension risk, credit rating downgrades as well as analysis of performance of the underlying collateral.

We believe that the unrealized losses, included in the table above, are temporary.  The unrealized losses are driven by market illiquidity causing price deterioration.  Because our intention is not to sell the MBS and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the MBS before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, as such, management does not consider these MBS to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2012.
 
      There are four remaining non-agency MBS that have been rated less than investment grade by at least one rating agency.  The remaining portfolio is U.S. Government securities.  We continue to aggressively monitor the performance of these securities and the underlying collateral.

In December 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to increase the disclosure requirements surrounding derivative instruments that are offset within the balance sheet pursuant to the provisions of current GAAP. The objective of the update is to provide greater comparability between issuers reporting under U.S. GAAP versus IFRS and provide users the ability to evaluate the effect of netting arrangements on a company's financial statements. The provisions of the update are effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and are not expected to add to the Company's current level of disclosures.


8.        Subsequent Event

On September 10, 2012, WSB and Old Line Bancshares, Inc., the parent company of Old Line Bank, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Old Line Bancshares will acquire WSB for consideration of approximately $48.7 million in stock and cash, or $6.09 per share, subject to possible adjustment.  The Merger Agreement, which has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies, provides that WSB will be merged with and into Old Line Bancshares (the “Merger”).  The Bank will be merged with and into Old Line Bank immediately following consummation of the Merger.
  
Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, the approval of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of Old Line Bancshares and WSB and the receipt of required regulatory approvals.  In addition, a lawsuit has been filed against WSB and its directors and against Old Line Bancshares that seeks to enjoin the Merger.  Please see “Litigation Related to the Merger” in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed September 11, 2012 for further information and details relating to the Merger Agreement.  Please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 26, 2012 for further information relating to the lawsuit.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
WSB Holdings, Inc.
Bowie, Maryland


We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of WSB Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

WSB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 and DECEMBER 31, 2010

 

1.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include WSB Holdings, Inc. (“WSB” or “we”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, The Washington Savings Bank FSB (“the Bank”), WSB, Inc., WSB Realty, LLC and WSB Realty, Inc. (collectively referred to herein, as the “Company”).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions between entities have been eliminated.

Nature of Operations – We are primarily engaged in the business of obtaining funds in the form of savings deposits and investing such funds in mortgage loans on residential, construction, and commercial real estate, and various types of consumer and other loans, mortgage-backed securities, and investment and money market securities.  We grant loans throughout the Washington DC, Baltimore, Northern Virginia and surrounding metropolitan areas.  Borrowers’ ability to repay is dependent upon the economy of these respective areas. WSB, Inc. is primarily engaged in the business of developing single family residential lots. WSB Realty, LLC and WSB Realty, Inc. are both primarily engaged   to take assignment of the right to acquire title to certain properties purchased at foreclosure sales.  Management is authorized to take usual and customary activities toward the acquisition, rehabilitation, sale, rental and disposition of these properties.

Management Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of real estate held for development, and the valuation of real estate acquired in settlement of loans.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits at other financial institutions, interest bearing deposits at other financial institutions and federal funds sold.  All cash equivalents have original maturities of three months or less.

Investment Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities - Investment Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities are required to be segregated into the following three categories:  trading, held-to-maturity, and available-for-sale.  Trading securities are purchased and held principally for the purpose of reselling them within a short period of time with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.  Debt securities classified as held-to-maturity are accounted for at amortized cost and require the Company to have both the positive intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity.  Securities not classified as either trading or held-to-maturity are considered to be available-for-sale.  The premium or discount associated with these securities are amortized on a level yield to the full term of the securities. Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported, net of income taxes, as other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity, until realized. Management systematically evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value on a quarterly basis. This analysis requires management to consider various factors, which include (1) duration and magnitude of the decline in value, (2) the financial condition of the issuer or issuers and (3) the structure of the security. An impairment loss is recognized in earnings only when: (1) we intend to sell the debt security;  (2) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. In situations where we intend to sell or when it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security, the entire impairment loss must be recognized in earnings. In all other situations, only the portion of the impairment loss representing the credit loss must be recognized in earnings, with the remaining portion being recognized in stockholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes. Credit loss is determined by calculating the present value of future cash flows of the security compared to the amortized cost of the security. Realized gains or losses on the sale of investment and mortgage-backed securities are reported in earnings and determined using the amortized cost of the specific security sold.

Restricted Stock Investments – The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the FHLB in varying amounts based on balances of outstanding home loans and on amounts borrowed from the FHLB. Because no ready market exists for this stock and it has no quoted market value, our investment in this stock is carried at cost.

Loan Origination Fees, Discounts, and Premiums on Loans - Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to yield over the lives of the related loans utilizing the interest method. The amortization of such deferred fees and costs is adjusted for the prepayment experience on a loan-by-loan basis.  Commitment fees to originate or purchase loans are deferred, and if the commitment is exercised, they are recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment of yield.  If the commitment expires unexercised, commitment fees are recognized in income upon expiration of the commitment.

Loans Receivable - We originate mortgage, commercial and consumer loans for portfolio investment and mortgage loans for sale in the secondary market.  During the period of origination, mortgage loans are designated as either held-for-sale or held-for-investment purposes.  Mortgage loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, determined on an individual loan basis. There was no valuation allowance required as of December 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010 on loans held-for-sale. The basis of loans sold include any deferred loan fees and costs. Loans held-for-investment are stated at their principal balance outstanding net of related deferred fees and cost. Transfers of loans held-for-investment to the held-for-sale portfolio are recorded at the lower of cost or market value on the transfer date with any reduction in a loan’s value reflected as a write-down of the recorded investment resulting in a new cost basis with a corresponding charge to the allowance for loan losses.

We enter into commitments to originate residential mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (i.e. rate lock commitments).  Such rate lock commitments on mortgage loans to be sold in the secondary market are considered to be derivatives.  The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment and closing and sale of the loan generally ranges from 15 to 60 days.  We protect our self from changes in interest rates through the use of best efforts forward delivery commitments, whereby, we commit to sell a loan at the time the borrower commits to an interest rate with the intent that the buyer has assumed interest rate risk on the loan.  As a result, we are not exposed to losses nor will we realize gains related to our rate lock commitments due to changes in interest rates.

The market values of rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not readily ascertainable with precision because rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not actively traded.  Because of the high correlation between rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts, no gain or loss occurs on the rate lock commitments.

Income Recognition on Loans Receivable - Interest on loans receivable is credited to income as earned on the principal amount outstanding.  For those loans that are carried on non-accrual status, interest income is recognized on the cash basis or cost recovery method.  Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when the collection of principal or interest is four payments or more past due, or earlier, if collection is deemed uncertain. Previously accrued but uncollected interest on these loans is charged against interest income. Loans may be reinstated to accrual status when such loans have been brought current, as to both principal and interest, and the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay and remain current.

Allowance for Loan Losses – The allowance for loan losses represents an amount which, in management’s judgment, reflects probable losses on existing loans and other extensions of credit that may become uncollectible as of the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses consists of an allocated component, consisting of both formula and specific allowances, and a non-specific component. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is determined through review and evaluation of the loan portfolio along with ongoing monthly assessments of the probable losses inherent in that portfolio, and, to a lesser extent, in unused commitments to provide financing. Loans deemed uncollectible are charged against, while recoveries are credited to, the allowance. Management adjusts the level of the allowance through the provision for loan losses, which is recorded as a current period operating expense. Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements, which include the formula allowance, specific allowances and the non-specific allowance. The amount of the allowance is reviewed monthly by the Loan Committee, and reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors.

The formula allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to corresponding categories of outstanding loans. Loss factors consider our historical loss experience in the various portfolio categories over the prior twelve months. The use of these loss factors is intended to reduce the differences between estimated losses inherent in the portfolio and observed losses.

Specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to a loan that management believes indicate the probability that a loss has been be incurred in an amount different from the amount determined by application of the formula allowance. For other problem-graded credits, allowances are established according to the application of loan risk factors. These factors are set by management to reflect its assessment of the relative level of risk inherent in each grade.

The non-specific allowance is based upon management’s evaluation of various conditions that are not directly measured in the determination of the formula and specific allowances. Such conditions include general economic and business conditions affecting key lending areas, loan quality trends (including trends in delinquencies and nonperforming loans expected to result from existing conditions), loan volumes and concentrations, specific industry conditions within portfolio categories, recent loss experience in particular loan categories, duration of the current business cycle, bank regulatory examinations results and management’s judgment with respect to various other conditions including credit administration and management and the quality of risk identification systems. Executive management reviews these conditions monthly.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses reflects its best estimate of the probable losses in the held-for-investment loan portfolio as of the respective balance sheet date. However, the determination of the allowance requires significant judgment, and estimates of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio can vary significantly from the amounts actually observed. While management uses available information to recognize probable losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in the credits comprising the loan portfolio and changes in the financial condition of borrowers, such as may result from changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our loan portfolio and allowance for loan losses. Such review may result in recognition of additions to the allowance for loan losses based on the examiners’ judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Impairment of Loans - We consider a loan impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all interest and principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreement.  A loan is tested for impairment once it becomes four payments past due. A loan is not considered impaired during a period of “insignificant delay” in payment if the ultimate collectability of all amounts due is expected.  We define an “insignificant delay” in payment as past due less than four payments.  A valuation allowance is maintained to the extent that the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment. Our residential mortgage and consumer loan portfolios are collectively evaluated for impairment. The impairment of a loan is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral if repayment is expected to be provided by the collateral. Generally, our impairment on such loans is measured by reference to the fair value of the collateral. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized on the cash basis.

Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans - Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is carried at the lower of our recorded investment or fair value at the date of acquisition.  Write-downs to fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Subsequent write downs are included in non-interest expense. Costs relating to the development and improvement of a property are capitalized, whereas those relating to holding the property are charged to expense when incurred.  The real estate is carried at the lower of acquisition or fair value net of estimated costs to sell subsequent to acquisition.  Operating expenses of real estate owned are reflected in other non-interest expenses.

The amounts we could ultimately recover from real estate acquired in settlement of loans could differ materially from the amounts used in arriving at the net carrying value of the assets because of future market factors beyond our control or changes in our strategy for recovering our investment.

Premises and Equipment - Depreciation on buildings, furniture, and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over each asset’s estimated useful life.  Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful life or the lease term.  Such estimated useful lives are as follows:
 
Buildings
Improvement to buildings
 
  39 years
5-10 years
Leasehold improvements
Furniture, equipment
Computer equipment
Software
5-10 years
    7 years
      4 years
     3 years
Automobiles
     3 years
 
Mortgage Banking Activities – It is our current practice to sell mortgage loans without retaining loan servicing rights (commonly referred to as “servicing released”). We have not purchased mortgage loans with servicing rights subsequent to 1994.  Prior to 1995, we originated and sold some mortgage loans with servicing retained.  The accounting treatment in effect at that time prohibited the capitalization of mortgage rights on internally originated loans that were subsequently sold.  Accordingly, there are no capitalized mortgage servicing assets at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Advertising Costs – We expense advertising costs as they are incurred.

Income Taxes – We file a consolidated federal income tax return with our subsidiaries.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future income tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Any deferred tax asset is reduced by the amount of any tax benefit that more likely than not will not be realized.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
F-138

 
 

A tax position is recognized in the financial statements only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded.

We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

The tax years before 2008 are no longer subject to U.S. Federal tax examinations.

Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options to issue common stock were exercised. Potentially dilutive common shares include incremental shares issuable upon exercise or outstanding stock options using the Treasury Stock Method.

Stock-Based Compensation - We have incentive compensation plans that permit the granting of incentive and non-qualified awards in the form of stock options.  Generally, the terms of these plans stipulate that the exercise price of options may not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date the options are granted.  Options predominantly vest over a two year period from the date of grant, and expire not later than ten years from date of grant.

Stock-based compensation is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the awards and the costs are recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2011 presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
      In April 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance for assisting a creditor in determining whether a restructuring is a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments clarify the guidance for a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. For purposes of measuring impairment on newly identified troubled debt restructurings, the amendments should be applied prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 became effective for the Company for the interim reporting period ended September 30, 2011.  The Company adopted this statement with no material impact on its financial condition or results of operations except for additional financial statement disclosures.
 
      In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” ASU No. 2011-03 affects all entities that enter into agreements to transfer financial assets that both entitle and obligate the transferor to repurchase or redeem the financial assets before their maturity.  The amendments in ASU No. 2011-03 remove from the assessment of effective control the criterion relating to the transferor’s ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee.  ASU No. 2011-03 also eliminates the requirement to demonstrate that the transferor possesses adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement financial assets.  The guidance is effective for the Company’s reporting period ended March 31, 2012.  The guidance will be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transaction that occur on or after January 1, 2012.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
F-139

 
 

In June, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.”  This guidance requires companies to present comprehensive income in a single statement below net income or in a separate statement of comprehensive income immediately following the income statement.  The guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, which is our current presentation. This guidance does not change which items are reported in other comprehensive income or the requirement to report reclassifications of items from other comprehensive income to net income.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and will require retrospective application for all periods presented .

In December 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to increase the disclosure requirements surrounding derivative instruments that are offset within the balance sheet pursuant to the provisions of current GAAP. The objective of the update is to provide greater comparability between issuers reporting under U.S. GAAP versus IFRS and provide users the ability to evaluate the effect of netting arrangements on a company's financial statements. The provisions of the update are effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and are not expected to add to the Company's current level of disclosures.

The risks associated with each portfolio class are as follows:
 
First mortgage loans secured by single family residences,  secured by 5 or more residential, secured by other properties and second mortgage loans – The primary risks related to this type of lending include; unemployment, deterioration in real estate values, our ability to access the creditworthiness of the customer, deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition (whether the result of personal issues or general economic downturn), the inability of the borrower to maintain occupancy for investment properties, and an appraisal on a property is not reflective of the true property value.  Portfolio risk includes condition of the economy, changing demand for these types of loans, large concentration of these types of loans and geographic concentration of these types of loans.

Construction loans – Since this portfolio is substantially owner occupied residential construction loans, the loan specific risks and portfolio risks are the same as described above as first mortgage loans secured by single family residences.  However these loans carry the additional risk associated with the builder and the potential for builder cost overruns and/or the builder being unable to complete the construction.

Land development loans and land acquisition loans – The primary loan-specific risk in land and land development are: unemployment, deterioration of the business and/or collateral values, deterioration of the financial condition of the borrowers and/or guarantors creates a risk of default, and that an appraisal on the collateral is not reflective of the true property value. These loans usually include funding for the acquisition and development of unimproved properties to be used for residential or non-residential construction.  We may provide permanent financing on the same projects for which we have provided the development and construction financing.  Portfolio risk includes condition of the economy, changing demand for these types of loans, large concentration of these types of loans, and geographic concentrations of these types of loans.

Commercial and Commercial secured by real estate – The primary loan-specific risks in these types of loans are: unemployment, general deterioration in the economy, deterioration of the business and/or business cash flows, financial condition of the guarantors, deterioration of collateral values, and that an appraisal on any real estate collateral is not reflective of the true property value.  Portfolio risk includes condition of the economy, changing demand for these types of loans, large concentration of these types of loans, and geographic concentration of these types of loans.

Loans secured by savings accounts and consumer installment loans- The primary risks of these loans are: unemployment, and deterioration of the borrower’s financial condition, whether the result of person issues or a general economic downturn.  The portfolio risks for these types of loans is the same as for first mortgage loans secured by single family residences as described above.

 
Credit quality indicators as of December 31, 2011 are as follows:
 
Pass: Loans classified as pass generally meet or exceed normal credit standards.  Factors include repayment source, collateral, borrower cash flows, and performance history.
 
Special Mention:  Loans classified Special Mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s attention. These loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to currently warrant adverse classification.
 
Substandard:  Loans classified as substandard are loans that have a well-defined weakness. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  These loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged as security for the asset.
 
Doubtful:  Loans classified as doubtful consists of loans where we expect a loss, but not a total loss.  These loans have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset, in addition, these weaknesses make collection highly questionable or improbable based on the existing circumstances.
 
Loss:  Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible.  A loan classified as a loss does not mean that an asset has no recovery value, but that it is not practical to defer writing off or reserving all or a portion of the asset, even though partial recovery may be collected in the future.  Loans that are classified as “Loss” are fully reserved for on our financial statements.

            Loans on which the recognition of interest has been discontinued amounted to approximately $12.8 million and $27.1 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  If interest income had been recognized on those loans at their stated rates during the years ending December 31, 2011 and 2010, interest income would have been increased by approximately $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The total allowance for loan losses on these impaired loans was approximately $2.9 million and $5.7 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
The impaired loans included in the table above were comprised of collateral dependent 1-4 residential real estate, lot loans and commercial real estate loans. The average recorded investment in impaired loans was $32.7 million and $33.5 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which included an average recorded balance in non-performing loans of $19.3 million and $25.0 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

A troubled debt restructure (“TDR”) is when we grant a concession to borrowers that the Bank would not otherwise have considered due to a borrower’s financial difficulties.  All TDRs are considered “impaired”.  The substantial majority of our residential real estate TDRs involved reducing the interest rate for a specified period.  We also have restructured loans involving the restructure of loan terms such as a reduction in the payment requiring interest only payments and/or extending the maturity date of these loans.

We had approximately $20.4 million in TDRs, with approximately $8.3 million added during the twelve month period ending December 31, 2011, the majority of which were on accrual status.

        Non-residential real estate loans had an outstanding balance of $35.4 million and $41.3 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  These loans are considered by management to have somewhat greater risk of collectability due to the dependence on income production.  Additionally, all of our non-residential real estate loans were collateralized by real estate (primarily warehouse and office space) in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

We originate and participate in land and land development loans, real estate construction loans and commercial real estate loans, the proceeds of which are used by the borrower for acquisition, development, and construction purposes.  Often the loan arrangements require us to provide, from the loan proceeds, amounts sufficient for payment of loan fees and anticipated costs during acquisition, development, or construction, including interest.  This type of lending is considered by management to have higher risks.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the undisbursed portion of such loans totaled $11.0 million and $19.3 million, respectively.

We have made loans to certain of the Bank’s executive officers and directors. These loans were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rate and collateral requirements, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated customers. The risk of loss on these loans is considered to be no greater than for loans made to unrelated customers.

The following schedule summarizes changes in amounts of loans outstanding to executive officers and directors:

The portfolio classified as “Available for Sale” is consistent with management’s assessment and intention as to the portfolio.  While we have the intent to hold and do not expect to be required to sell the securities until maturity, from time to time or with changing conditions, it may be advantageous to sell certain securities either to take advantage of favorable interest rate changes or to increase liquidity.  Securities classified as “Held to Maturity” are not subject to fair value adjustment due to temporary changes in value due to interest rate; while securities classified as “Available for Sale” are subject to adjustment in carrying value through the accumulated comprehensive income line item in stockholders’ equity section of the statement of financial condition.

Gross unrealized losses and fair value by length of time that the individual available-for-sale MBS have been in a continuous unrealized loss position is as follows:

At December 31, 2011, we have four securities in an unrealized loss position.  These four securities are in an unrealized loss related to our private labeled mortgage backed securities portfolio.

At December 31, 2011, we had no other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in net earnings, related to available-for-sale investments.  Other-than-temporary impairment loss recognized in net earnings for December 31, 2010 are as follows:

In evaluating whether a security was other than temporarily impaired, we considered the severity and length of time impaired for each security in a loss position. Other qualitative data was also considered including recent developments specific to the organization issuing the security, market liquidity, extension risk, credit rating downgrades as well as analysis of performance of the underlying collateral.
 
           During the year ending December 31, 2010, we recognized total non-cash other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) pre-tax charges to the consolidated statement of operations for $2.9 million for one of our private-labeled MBS.  This security was rated “AAA” by Fitch at origination.  The OTTI charge relates to a credit loss.  Credit losses reflect the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost.  After a careful and thorough review of the non-agency mortgage-backed security portfolio, an other than temporary impairment charge was recorded on one of the non-agency mortgage-backed securities.  Significant deterioration occurred in the market values on one of our securities.  Through analysis, we concluded that the entire decrease in value was the result of credit losses and, since our intention was to sell the MBS, the asset was reduced to the current market value.  In November 2010, the Bank sold this MBS, for which $2.9 million in cumulative credit-related OTTI charges had been previously recognized as a charge to non-interest income.
 
The valuation process and OTTI determination, assumptions related to prepayment, default and severity on the collateral supporting the non-agency MBSs are input into an industry standard valuation model.  The valuation is “Level Three” pursuant to FASB ASC – Topic 820- Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
 
We believe that the unrealized losses, other than those included in the table above, are not other-than-temporary.  The unrealized losses are driven by market illiquidity causing price deterioration.  Because our intention is not to sell the MBS and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the MBS before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, management does not consider these MBS to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011.

       All of our temporarily impaired securities are defined as impaired due to declines in fair values resulting from increases in interest rates compared to the time they were purchased.  None of these securities have exhibited a decline in value due to changes in credit risk.  Furthermore, we have the ability to hold these securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value and do not expect to realize losses on any of these holdings.  As such, management does not consider the impairments to be other than temporary.

           At December 31, 2010, total borrowings consisted of $76.0 million in FHLB advances. During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, we reduced our borrowings by repaying $30.0 million in reverse repurchases and reduced our FHLB advances by $23.0 million, of which resulted in a pre-payment penalty of approximately $2.0 million, reducing our interest expense.  To meet our funding needs for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, FHLB advance consisted of $8.0 million in daily rate credit bringing the balance of our FHLB advances to $84.0 million at December 31, 2011.   Borrowings for fiscal 2011 were as follows:

BENEFIT PLANS

          Profit Sharing/401(k) Retirement Plan – The Bank has a 401(k) Retirement Plan (“401(k)”).  The 401(k) offers a corporate match program of 100% of the first 3% of employee directed contributions and a 50% match up to an additional 2% of employee directed contributions. For the calendar year ending December 31, 2011 and 2010, we recognized expenses of $139,825 and $146,000, respectively.

      Stock Option Plans - We have incentive compensation plans that permit the granting of incentive and non-qualified awards in the form of stock options.  Generally, the terms of these plans stipulate that the exercise price of options may not be less than the fair market value of WSB’s common stock on the date the options are granted.  Options predominantly vest over a two year period from the date of grant, and expire not later than ten years from the date of grant.

        All outstanding options are vested and there is currently no unrealized compensation cost related to non-vested share based compensation arrangements.
 
        Equity Incentive Plans – On April 27, 2011, the stockholders of WSB Holdings, Inc. approved the adoption of the WSB Holdings, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, which reserve shares of common stock for issuance to certain key employees and non-employee directors.  The maximum number of shares of our common stock that be issued with respect to awards granted under the plan is 500,000 plus (i) any shares of common stock that are available under the Washington Savings Bank 2001 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2001 Plan”) as of its termination date (which was April 27, 2011) and (ii) shares of common stock subject to options granted under the 2001 Plan that expire or terminate without having been fully exercised.  In no event, however, may the number of shares issuable pursuant to incentive stock options exceed 500,000.  The period during which an option granted under the Plan will be exercisable, as determined by the Administrator, will be set forth in the agreement evidencing the option award.  However, an incentive stock option may not be exercisable for more than ten years from its date of grant.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND REGULATORY MATTERS
 
We are insured by the FDIC through its Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) and regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”).  As a condition of maintaining the insurance of accounts, we are required to maintain certain minimum regulatory capital in accordance with a formula provided in FDIC regulations.  We may not pay dividends on our stock unless all such capital requirements are met.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of tangible and core capital (as defined in the regulations) to total adjusted assets (as defined), and of total capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of December 31, 2011, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

Our management believes that, under current regulations, and eliminating the assets of WSB, the Bank remains well capitalized and will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future.  However, events beyond the our control, such as a shift in interest rates or a further, unexpected downturn in the economy in areas where we extend credit, could adversely affect future earnings and, consequently, our ability to meet our future minimum capital requirements.
 
 
 
 
F-158

 

 
As of December 31, 2011, the Bank remains well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as “well-capitalized,” the Bank must maintain minimum core, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based ratios as set forth in the table.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 are presented in the following tables:

15.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
The Company applies guidance issued by FASB regarding fair value measurements which provides a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value under generally accepted accounting principles.  This guidance requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet in periods subsequent to initial recognition, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, available-for-sale investment securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired loans).
 
The guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
 
The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
 
Under the guidance, the Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine the fair value. These hierarchy levels are:

Level 1 inputs – Unadjusted quoted process in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
 
 
 
 
 
 
F-162

 
 

 
Level 2 inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
 
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:
 
Investment Securities Available-for-Sale
 
Investment securities available-for-sale is recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange, Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Loans
 
We do not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis, however, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan loss is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principle will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification Receivables Topic.  The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including the collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring a specific allowance represent loans for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. At December 31, 2011, a majority of all of the totally impaired loans were evaluated based upon the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with guidance regarding fair value measurements, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we record the loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, we record the loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Loans Held for Sale - Loans held for sale are value based quotations from the secondary market for similar instruments and are classified as level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans - We record foreclosed real estate assets at the lower cost or estimated fair value on their acquisition dates and at the lower of such initial amount or estimated fair value less estimated selling costs thereafter. Estimated fair value is generally based upon independent appraisal of the collateral. We consider these collateral values to be estimated using Level 2 inputs.

Loans held-for-sale, which are carried at the lower of cost or market, did not have any impairment charge at December 31, 2011.
 
Assets included in Level 3 include our private-labeled mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) due to lack of observable market data due to decreases in market activity for these securities.  Our policy is to recognize transfers in and out as of the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.  No assets were transferred to Level 3 during the period ending December 31, 2011.  The change in the assets included in Level 3 was due to principal repayments and the change in unrealized gains/losses for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2011.  The following assumptions were used for the Level 3 valuations on the five remaining private-labeled MBS:
 

o  
Estimated future defaults are derived by an analysis of the performance of the underlying collateral as well as obtaining models from a third party.  The model addresses each component of the net present value calculation, which includes loss severity rate, current default rate and current voluntary prepayment rate.
 
 
 
 
 
 
F-164

 
 

o  
Each individual security is reviewed and an analysis is prepared for specific credit characteristics of the underlying collateral including recent developments specific to each organization issuing the security, market liquidity, extension risks and credit rating downgrades and an estimate of future defaults is derived.
 
The table below presents a reconciliation and income statement classification of gains and losses for all assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the periods ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Assets and Liabilities measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
 
The Company may be required from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are included in the tables below:

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a principal balance of $31.3 million, with a related valuation allowance of $2.9 million.

       Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is carried at the lower of our recorded investment or fair value at the date of acquisition.  Write-downs to fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Subsequent write downs are included in non-interest expense. Costs relating to the development and improvement of a property are capitalized, whereas those relating to holding the property are charged to expense when incurred.  The real estate is carried at the lower of acquisition or fair value net of estimated costs to sell subsequent to acquisition.  Operating expenses of real estate owned are reflected in other non-interest expenses.  The value of OREO properties held due to foreclosures at December 31, 2011 were $4.8 million, which included a valuation allowance of $266,283.

The following disclosures of the estimated fair value of financial instruments are made in accordance with the requirements of ASC 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”.  We have determined the fair value amounts by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value.  Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
 
Loans Receivable, Net - Loans not having quoted market prices are priced using the discounted cash flow method.  The discount rate used is the rate currently offered on similar products.  The estimated fair value of loans held-for-sale is based on the terms of the related sale commitments.
 
Mortgage-Backed Securities - Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.  If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
 
Investment Securities - Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.  If a quoted market price is not available, fair values are estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
 
Investment in Federal Home Loan Bank Stock - The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock is a reasonable estimate of fair value as FHLB stock does not have a readily available market and can only be sold back to the FHLB at its par value of $100 per share.
 
 
 
 
F-167

 
 
 
Bank Owned Life Insurance - The carrying amount of bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) purchased on a group of officers is a reasonable estimate of fair value.   BOLI is an insurance product that provides an effective way to offset current employee benefit costs.
 
Deposits - The fair value of non-interest bearing accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair value of interest-bearing deposits is determined using the discounted cash flow method.  The discount rate used is the rate currently offered on similar products.

Borrowings – The fair value of borrowings is determined using the discounted cash flow method.  The discount rate used is the rate currently offered on similar products.

Commitments to Grant Loans and Standby Letters of Credit and Financial Guarantees Written - The majority of our commitments to grant loans and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written carry current market interest rates if converted to loans.  Because commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are generally unassignable by either us or the borrower, they only have value to us and the borrower and therefore it is impractical to assign any value to these commitments.

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively reevaluated for purposes of these financial statements since that date and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.


16.       FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
 
We are party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of our business to meet the financing needs of our customers and to reduce our own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees.

These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial position.  The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments.

 Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments.  We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance-sheet instruments.

 Unless noted otherwise, we do not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

  $ 194,488     $ 692,524  
 
 
 
 
F-168

 
 
 
 
Commitments to grant mortgage and commercial loans, which include pending applications, are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon or pending applications will be denied, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  Historically, approximately seventy-five percent of the agreements and pending applications are drawn upon.  We evaluate each customer’s credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Most equity line commitments for the unfunded portion of equity lines are for a term of 12 months and commercial lines of credit are generally renewable on an annual basis.
 
   Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Those guarantees are primarily issued to support construction borrowing.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.  We hold cash as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

ARTICLE II.
CONSIDERATION; ELECTION AND EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

Section 2.1                       Aggregate Consideration
 
Aggregate Consideration . As described herein, the Merger Consideration payable with respect to each share of Holdings Common Stock shall be either: (i) cash (“Per Share Cash Consideration”) or (ii) the number of shares of OLB Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (“Per Share Common Stock Consideration”).  The Per Share Cash Consideration together with the Per Share Common Stock Consideration shall comprise the total consideration to be paid in the Merger (the “ Aggregate Consideration ”).
 
Section 2.2                       Aggregate Cash Consideration and Per Share Cash Consideration.
 
The “ Aggregate Cash Consideration ” is an amount equal to $17,009,212, subject to adjustments pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Agreement.  If there is no adjustment pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Agreement, each Holdings Common Stockholder who owns a Cash Consideration Share will receive cash equal to $6.09 in exchange for each such share.
 
Section 2.3                       Aggregate Common Stock Consideration and Per Share Common Stock Consideration.
 
The “ Aggregate Common Stock Consideration ” is an amount equal to $31,655,645, subject to adjustments pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Agreement.  The “ Exchange Ratio ” is equal to the Aggregate Common Stock Consideration divided by 10.85, with the quotient divided by Stock Consideration Shares.  The Exchange Ratio will be rounded down to the nearest ten-thousandth.

By way of example only, assuming total consideration to be paid in the Merger is $48,664,857, and that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, there are 7,995,232 shares of Holdings Common Stock issued and outstanding, the breakdown of the Aggregate Consideration is as follows: Aggregate Cash Consideration of $17,009,212 for 2,792,974 Cash Consideration Shares and Aggregate Common Stock Consideration of $31,655,645 in OLB common stock for 5,202,258 Stock Consideration Shares.  The Exchange Ratio shall be determined in two steps: (i) dividing $31,655,645 by 10.85, to determine the number of shares of OLB common stock to be exchanged, 2,917,571; (ii) the quotient, 2,917,571 is then divided by the 5,202,258 Stock Consideration Shares.  The quotient, 0.5608, is the Exchange Ratio.

Section 2.4                       Potential Adjustment to Aggregate Consideration.
 
No later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, if applicable, the Aggregate Consideration shall be adjusted as follows:
 
(a)             Net Operating Loss Adjustments .  Any consolidated pre-tax operating losses of Holdings for any quarter ending after June 30, 2012, excluding any provisions for loan losses, expenses attributable to write-downs of REO, securities gains or losses, and merger related expenses (subject to the limitation described in Section 8.1), shall be deducted dollar-for-dollar from the Aggregate Consideration.
 
(b)             Asset Quality Adjustments .  Each Holdings or WSB Credit Extension (i) that as of June 30, 2012, was not classified as special mention, substandard or non-accrual, was not subject to impairment under ASC Topic 310, was not more than 90 days past due, was not classified as REO, and/or was not on the watch list (the “Pass Portfolio”) and (ii) that after June 30, 2012, is or becomes classified as special mention, substandard or non-accrual, is or becomes subject to impairment under ASC Topic 310, is or becomes more than 90 days past due, is or becomes REO and/or is added to the watch list (the “Migration Portfolio”) will be valued to determine if the losses on such Credit Extension exceed OLB’s previous estimate of projected losses. A list of OLB estimated losses, if any, for Credit Extensions in the Pass Portfolio are listed in OLB Disclosure Schedule 2.4(b) .  During the period prior to the Closing Date, and no less than 10 Business Days prior to the Closing Date, OLB will review with Holdings the valuation of and valuation methodology for each Credit Extension on the Migration Portfolio.  The valuation used will be 75% of an independent evaluation, inclusive of selling costs, with any excess over OLB’s previous estimate of losses in OLB Disclosure Schedule 2.4(b) to be deducted on a post-tax, dollar-for-dollar basis from the Aggregate Consideration.
 
 
 
A-11

 
 
 
(c)             Offsets to Asset Quality Adjustments . For each Holdings or WSB Credit Extension (i) that as of June 30, 2012, was classified as special mention, substandard or non-accrual, was subject to impairment under ASC Topic 310, was more than 90 days past due, was REO and/or was on the watch list and (ii) that after  June 30, 2012, is resolved through final sale or pay-off that results in reversal of a provision or reversal of a specific reserve or a recovery of an amount charged-off prior to July 1, 2012, the amount of the reversal of provision or reversal of a specific reserve or the amount recovered will offset any losses described in Section 2.4(b) that are deducted from the Aggregate Consideration.
 
(d)             Maximum Expense Amount .  To the extent not already included in the net operating loss adjustment pursuant to Section 2.4(a), any costs or expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement that exceed the Maximum Expense Amount shall be deducted from the Aggregate Consideration on a post-tax, dollar-for-dollar basis.
 
(e)             Investment securities .  Any investment security held by Holdings or WSB that is not specifically identified in the List of Exempt Securities attached hereto as Exhibit F (an “ Exempt Security ”) will be priced using actual bid-side market pricing. OLB will solicit bids from no less than 30 broker-dealers and bond investors it determines may have an interest in purchasing non-Exempt Securities. A schedule of bid requests and bids received will be provided to Holdings eight Business Days prior to the Closing Date.  The “Marked Value” will be:  (i) the average of the three highest bids received; or (ii) if only two bids are received, the average of the two highest bids received; or (iii) if only one bid or no bids are received, OLB will use reasonable and customary alternative methods of valuation; provided, however , that Holdings will have at least three Business Days to sell the non-Exempt Securities if it desires. The value differential between the Marked Value and the value reported by WSB as of June 30, 2012 or, if purchased after June 30, 2012, the original purchase price, that are greater than $20,000, excluding changes in value due to principal pay-downs, if a loss, will be aggregated and deducted from the Aggregate Consideration on a post-tax dollar-for-dollar basis. If the pricing differentials described above result in a gain, then such gain, on a post-tax basis, will be added to Aggregate Consideration.  However, if any security that is not an Exempt Security is sold, called or matures prior to five days before Closing Date, then the net proceeds received shall be used as the Marked Value.
 
(f)            Any adjustments to the Aggregate Consideration made pursuant to this Section 2.4 will be made to both the Aggregate Cash Consideration and the Aggregate Stock Consideration with thirty five percent (35%) of such adjustment being made to the Aggregate Cash Consideration and sixty five percent (65%) of such adjustment being made to the Aggregate Stock Consideration.
 
Section 2.5                       Form of Consideration; Exchange Ratio; Conversion.
 
(a)             Conversion Alternatives .  Subject to Sections 2.7 and 2.8 concerning fractional shares and Objecting Holdings Shares and Section 2.5(e) concerning allocations, each share of Holdings Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date shall, at the Effective Time, by reason of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding and shall be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof, the Per Share Cash Consideration and/or Per Share Common Stock Consideration as follows:
 
(b)             Election Procedures .  OLB and Holdings will include a copy of an Election Form with each copy of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement mailed to holders of Holdings Common Stock in connection with the Holdings Common Stockholders’ Meeting, pursuant to which Holdings Common Stockholders will:

A-12

 
 
 
(ii)            Elect to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration with respect to all or a portion of their shares of Holdings Common Stock (the “ Cash Election Shares ”).
 
OLB and Holdings shall each use their reasonable efforts to make the Election Form available to all persons who become holders of Holdings Common Stock during the period between the record date for the Holdings Common Stockholders’ Meeting and the Election Deadline.  Any Holdings Common Stockholder’s Election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have received at its designated office, by the Election Deadline, a properly completed and signed Election Form accompanied by the Holdings Certificate(s) to which such Election Form relates, in form acceptable for transfer (or by an appropriate guarantee of delivery of such Holdings Certificate(s) as set forth in such Election Form from a firm which is an “eligible guarantor institution” (as defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act) provided that such Holdings Certificate(s) are in fact delivered to the Exchange Agent by the time set forth in such guarantee of delivery).  If a holder of Holdings Common Stock (i) does not submit a properly completed Election Form before the Election Deadline, (ii) revokes an Election Form prior to the Election Deadline and does not resubmit a properly completed Election Form prior to the Election Deadline, or (iii) otherwise fails to make an Election pursuant to Section 2.8(b) of this Agreement, then the shares of Holdings Common Stock held by such holder shall be designated “ No-Election Shares .”  Nominee record holders who hold Holdings Common Stock on behalf of multiple beneficial owners shall be required to indicate how many of the shares held by them are Common Stock Election Shares, Cash Election Shares and No-Election Shares.
 
For purposes of this Section 2.5, any Objecting Holdings Shares shall be deemed to have elected Cash Election Shares.
 
(c)             Mixed Election .  Subject to the immediately following sentence, each record holder of shares of Holdings Common Stock immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be entitled to elect to receive the Per Share Common Stock Consideration for a portion of such holder’s shares of Holdings Common Stock and the Per Share Cash Consideration for the remaining portion of such holder’s shares of Holdings Common Stock (a “ Mixed Election ”).  With respect to each holder of Holdings Common Stock who makes a Mixed Election and subject to the allocation rules set forth in Section ­2.5(e) below, the shares of Holdings Common Stock that such holder elects to be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Common Stock Consideration shall be treated as Common Stock Election Shares and the shares such holder elects to be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration shall be treated as Cash Election Shares.
 
(d)             Effective Election .  Any Election shall be properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline.  Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the person submitting such Election Form to the Exchange Agent by written notice to the Exchange Agent only if such written notice is actually received by the Exchange Agent at or prior to the Election Deadline.  The Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to (i) determine whether any Election, modification or revocation is received, (ii) determine whether any Election, modification or revocation has been properly made, and (iii) disregard immaterial defects in any Election Form.  Good faith determinations made by the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive.  Neither OLB, Holdings, nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in an Election Form.
 
(e)             Allocation .  Subject and after giving effect to Section 2.5(b), the Exchange Agent shall effect the allocation of the Aggregate Consideration among the holders of Holdings Common Stock in accordance with their respective Election Forms and the following allocation rules:

(ii)             Aggregate Cash Consideration Undersubscribed .  If the number of Cash Election Shares is less than 2,792,974 of the total number of shares of Holdings Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Closing Date, then:
 
(A)            Each Cash Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration;

(f)             Cancellation of Certain Common Stock .  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.5, at the Effective Time, each share of Holdings Common Stock that is owned, directly or indirectly, by OLB or any of its Subsidiaries (other than shares that are held in trust, managed, custodial or nominee accounts and the like and which are beneficially owned by third parties or held for debts previously contracted) shall be cancelled and no cash, stock or other property shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(i)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of OLB Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Holdings Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to OLB Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of OLB.  In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, OLB shall pay to each holder of Holdings Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash to which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Article II, rounded down to the nearest ten-thousandths.
 
(j)            Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the Holdings Common Stockholders for 12 months after the Effective Time shall be paid to OLB.  Any Holdings Common Stockholders who have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.9 shall thereafter look only to OLB for payment of the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect of each share of Holdings Common Stock such stockholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holdings, OLB, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall not be liable to any former holder of Holdings Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(i)             Stockholder Approval .  As promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, in accordance with the Exchange Act, applicable Law, and this Agreement, OLB shall submit this Agreement to its stockholders for approval at the OLB Common Stockholders’ Meeting with the recommendation that its stockholders approve this Agreement and the Merger.
 
(ii)             Holdings Director Nominees .  Subject to OLB’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, the MGCL, any approvals and/or requirements of any Regulatory Authority relating to OLB, and the continuing fiduciary duties of the OLB board of directors, the OLB board of directors shall take such actions as may be necessary to elect each of the Holdings Nominees to serve on the OLB board of directors with terms to expire at the annual meeting of stockholders of OLB to be held in 2015; provided, however , that if one or both of the Holdings Nominees shall be subject to a Disqualification Event, OLB shall take such actions as may be necessary to  fill the vacancy or vacancies so created with one or two, as may be applicable, of the individuals set forth on Holdings Disclosure Schedule 1.3(d) , or with such other individuals as Holdings may propose (each a “ Replacement Nominee ”), with the selection being at OLB’s discretion.
 
On and after the Effective Time, (A) the directors of OLB duly elected and holding office immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) provided they agree to serve as directors of OLB, each of the Holdings Nominees, shall be the directors of OLB, each to hold office until his successor is elected and qualified or otherwise in accordance with applicable Law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of OLB; further provided, that in no event shall OLB’s obligations under this section apply with respect to any Holdings Nominee subject to a Disqualification Event.
 
As used in this Agreement, the term “ Disqualification Event ” means, as to any Holdings Nominee, the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) such nominee shall be prohibited by Law or otherwise from serving as a director of OLB; (ii) such nominee shall have been charged with or convicted of any felony or a crime of moral turpitude; (iii) such nominee shall file (or any Entity of which such nominee shall have been an executive officer or controlling person within the 90 days prior to filing shall file) a voluntary petition under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or such nominee shall become (or any Entity indebted to OLB of which such nominee shall have been an executive officer or controlling person within the 90 days prior to filing shall become) the subject of an involuntary petition filed under any such law that is not dismissed within 30 days; (iv) such nominee shall be involved in any of the events or circumstances enumerated in Item 401(f)(3)-(6) of Regulation S-K (or any successor or substitute provision of similar import) promulgated by the SEC, or similar provisions of state “blue sky” laws; (v) the death, disability or other personal reasons beyond the control of such nominee that prevents them from serving, as determined by OLB in its sole discretion, as a nominee; or (vi) such nominee shall violate any covenant or agreement contained in the Voting Trust Agreement.  OLB will (i) take such actions as are necessary to cause Old Line, subject to the fiduciary duties of the Old Line board of directors, Old Line’s articles of incorporation and bylaws and the eligibility requirements of any Regulatory Authority relating to Old Line, and provided that the applicable Holdings Nominee is not subject to a Disqualification Event, to nominate each Holdings Nominee to serve as a director of Old Line during any time, and for the same term, that such Holdings Nominee serves as a director of OLB, in compliance with Section 1.4(b), and (ii) will, as the sole stockholder of Old Line, vote to elect any Holdings Nominee so nominated by Old Line.
 
(iii)             Employees, Severance Policy .
 
(A)            Subject to OLB’s usual personnel and qualification policies, OLB will endeavor to continue the employment of each individual who is a Holdings employee or an employee of a Holdings subsidiary on the Effective Date in a position that will contribute to the successful performance of the combined organization; provided, however, that no provision in this Agreement shall create any obligation of OLB to retain any Holdings employees or create any third party benefit.  If an employee is not retained as contemplated by this Section 5.8(c)(iii)(A), or if OLB elects to eliminate a position or does not offer a Holdings employee comparable employment (i.e., a position of substantially similar job descriptions or responsibilities at substantially the same salary level), then OLB will make severance payments to the displaced employee as set forth in this Section 5.8(c)(iii).
 
 
 
A-53

 
 
 
(B)            Subject to the provisions of Section 5.8(c)(iii)(C), OLB will grant to any eligible employee (exempt and non-exempt) of Holdings that is not retained by OLB two weeks of severance pay for each full year of service with Holdings or a Holdings Subsidiary up to a maximum of 26 weeks of severance pay.
 
(C)            All employees of Holdings or of any Holdings Subsidiary at the Effective Time will be eligible for severance benefits as set forth in this Section 5.8(c)(iii), except that no employee of Holdings or of any Holdings Subsidiaries, including but not limited to the individuals listed in Section 5.8(c)(iii)(E), who is eligible for any payment or benefit pursuant to any “change in control” agreement, employment agreement, salary continuation agreement or similar plan or right shall receive any severance benefits as provided in this Section 5.8(c)(iii).  Each person eligible for severance benefits as set forth in this Section 5.8(c)(iii)(C) will remain eligible for such benefits if his or her employment is terminated by OLB or an OLB Subsidiary, other than for “cause”, within 12 months after the Effective Date.  Any person whose employment with OLB or an OLB Subsidiary is terminated without “cause” after 12 months from the Effective Date shall receive such severance benefit from OLB or such OLB Subsidiary as is provided for in OLB’s general severance policy for such terminations (with full credit being given for each full year of service with Holdings or any Holdings Subsidiary).
 
(D)            For purposes of Section 5.8(c)(iii)(C), “cause” means the employer’s good faith reasonable belief that the employee: (1) violated any Law or regulation applicable to OLB or Old Line (2) committed fraud, theft or embezzlement; (3) falsified corporate records; (4) disseminated confidential information concerning customers, OLB, any OLB Subsidiary or any of its or their employees in violation of any applicable confidentiality agreement or policy; or (5) failed to adequately perform their duties as an employee.

VOTING TRUST AGREEMENT

This Voting Trust Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of this 10 th day of September, 2012 (“Effective Date”), by and among William J. Harnett, an individual residing in the State of Florida (“WJH”), Old Line Bancshares, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“OLB”), and Craig E. Clark, as voting trustee (“Trustee”).  WJH, OLB and the Trustee are sometimes each referred to herein as a “Party” and are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Parties”.

WHEREAS, WJH is the sole owner of 41.3% (3,304,327 shares) of the outstanding common stock of WSB Holdings, Inc. (“WSB”);

WHEREAS, contemporaneously herewith, WJH and OLB have entered into a Share Election Agreement;

WHEREAS, contemporaneously herewith, WJH and OLB have entered into a Support Agreement;

WHEREAS, contemporaneously herewith, OLB and WSB have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as such agreement may hereafter be amended and supplemented from time to time) (“Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which WSB will merge with and into OLB (the “Merger”) and the outstanding shares of WSB common stock will, without any action on the part of the holders thereof, be automatically converted into the right to receive shares of OLB common stock and/or cash;

WHEREAS, one of the conditions to OLB’s obligations under the Merger Agreement is for WJH and OLB to enter into this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Trustee is willing to act as voting trustee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, as a stockholder of WSB, WJH will receive a significant benefit from the transaction described in the Merger Agreement and believes that his entry into this Agreement is in the best interests of WSB, OLB and their respective stockholders and, for that reason, is willing to enter into this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy, sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 
1.
Recitals. The recitals are incorporated herein as an integral part of this Agreement.

 
2.
Assignment of Shares; Trust Certificates.

 
a.
At the effective time of the Merger, WHJ shall irrevocably assign to the Trustee a number of shares of WSB common stock owned by him (the “Shares”), together with all rights inherent in such Shares, that will, upon the conversion thereof into the right to receive shares of OLB common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement, reduce his percentage of ownership of the total outstanding shares of OLB common stock (“Percentage Ownership”) to eight percent (8%) (after giving effect to the Merger). The Shares, together with any shares of OLB common stock that are assigned to or received by the Trustee after the effective time of the Merger pursuant to Section 3 or Section 6 of this Agreement, are collectively referred to herein as the “Trust Shares”.

 
b.
Concurrently with the assignment of Trust Shares contemplated by Section 2(a), Trustee will issue and deliver to WJH one or more trust certificates, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A , signed by Trustee evidencing the number of Trust Shares (each, a “Trust Certificate”).  The Trust Certificates will not have voting or, except to the extent provided herein, other rights regarding OLB or the Trustee. The Trust Certificates may be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred subject to applicable securities laws.  In the event that any Trust Certificate shall be lost, stolen or destroyed, Trustee shall provide replacements upon receipt of such indemnity agreements or other security as may be required for lost, stolen or destroyed stock certificates, as Trustee may determine.
 
 
 
 
A-69

 
 

 
 
3.
Change in Number of Trust Shares .  For purposes of this Agreement only, any shares of OLB common stock other than Trust Shares (“Unassigned Shares”) which are owned or controlled by any person (a “Control Person”) acting in concert (as defined in 12 CFR 225.41) (“Acting in Concert”) with WJH during the duration of this Agreement as provided in Section 4 herein shall be deemed to be owned by WJH and shall be included for purposes of calculating his Percentage Ownership.

 
a.
In the event that the total number of outstanding shares of OLB common stock is increased or the characteristics of OLB common stock are changed and such increase or change causes WJH’s Percentage Ownership to be less than eight percent (8%), WJH may, at his option, require the Trustee to exchange Trust Shares for Trust Certificates to the extent that such exchange will not cause WJH’s Percentage Ownership to be greater than eight percent (8%).

 
b.
If WJH acquires ownership of Unassigned Shares after the effective time of the Merger and such acquisition causes his Percentage Ownership to exceed eight percent (8%), then WJH will immediately assign, or cause to be assigned, to the Trustee that number of such Unassigned Shares as shall be necessary to reduce his Percentage Ownership to eight percent (8%).  The Unassigned shares so assigned shall constitute Trust Shares under this Agreement and shall be evidenced by additional Trust Certificates issued by the Trustee.

 
c.
If at any time WJH, or any Control Person, sells Unassigned Shares (a “Sale”) and such Sale reduces WJH’s Percentage Ownership to less than eight percent (8%), then WJH may, at his option and subject to the provisions of this Section 3(c), require the Trustee to exchange Trust Shares for Trust Certificates to the extent that such exchange will not cause WJH’s Percentage Ownership to exceed eight percent (8%).  The following conditions must be satisfied before the Trustee will permit an exchange pursuant to this Section 3(c):

 
i.
Prior to the Sale, WJH, or the Control Person, must have offered the Unassigned Shares (the “Offered Shares”) to OLB on a right of first refusal basis in accordance with this Section 3(c)(i).  Any offer pursuant to this Section 3(c)(i) shall be made in writing (“Offer Notice”) and delivered to OLB at least 15 business days prior to the Sale (the “Notice Period”).  Upon receipt of the Offer Notice, OLB shall have the right, but not the obligation, during the Notice Period to purchase any or all of the Offered Shares.  OLB shall exercise its right by delivering written notice thereof to WJH and any Control Person, which shall set forth the number of Offered Shares to be purchased by OLB (the “Purchased Shares”).  At the closing of OLB’s purchase of the Purchased Shares (the “Closing”), OLB shall pay cash to WJH or the Control Person (as the case may be) in an amount equal to the number of Purchased Shares multiplied by the Purchase Price (as defined below).  Unless the parties to the Closing agree otherwise, the Closing shall take place no later than the expiration of the Notice Period, at a time and place to be agreed upon by the parties thereto.  The “Purchase Price” shall be determined as follows:  (A) if shares of OLB common stock are listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or national market system, then the Purchase Price shall be the average closing sales price of a share of OLB common stock as quoted on such national securities exchange or national market system for the period that begins on the day that OLB receives the Sale Notice and ends on the day immediately preceding the day of the Closing (the “Pricing Period”); or (B) if shares of OLB common stock are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or national market system but are traded in the over-the-counter market, then the Purchase Price shall be the average of the high bid price and the low ask price per share of OLB common stock for the Pricing Period; or (C) if shares of OLB common stock are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or national market system and are not traded in the over-the-counter market, then the Purchase Price shall be the last known sales price of a share of OLB common stock as reported to OLB by the transfer agent for such common stock.
 
 
 
 
A-70

 
 

 
 
ii.
To the extent the Offered Shares were not sold pursuant to Section 3(c)(i), the Sale must have been either (A) a bona fide sale with a counter party who is not Acting in Concert with WJH or the Control Person or (B) effected using a broker with the identity of the purchaser not being known to WJH or the Control Person.

 
4.
Duration. This Agreement shall immediately terminate if the Merger is not consummated.  Otherwise, this Agreement will terminate on the earlier to occur of (a) the fifth (5 th ) anniversary of the Effective Date or (b) the effective date of (i) a merger, consolidation, or similar extraordinary event involving OLB and another entity where OLB is not the surviving entity or (ii) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of OLB.  Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Trustee, in exchange for and upon surrender of Trust Certificates representing Trust Shares, shall assign and deliver the Trust Shares to the holders of such Trust Certificates.

 
5.
Trustee .

 
a.
The Trustee shall serve without compensation and any expenses incurred by the Trustee will be paid by OLB.  The Trustee will have full power, and it shall be the Trustee’s duty, to vote the Trust Shares in accordance with the instructions of the OLB Board of Directors.  The Trustee shall be present, in person or represented by proxy, at all annual and special meetings of stockholders of OLB so that all Trust Shares may be counted for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings. The Trustee may take such other action regarding the Trust Shares as any other owner of OLB common stock may take, except that the Trustee may not sell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any Trust Shares other than pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee shall have no liability hereunder if the Trustee performs its obligations as required by this Agreement.

 
b.
In the event that the Trustee shall cease to be able to function in such capacity, by reason of death, disability, resignation or any other cause whatsoever, OLB shall promptly appoint a replacement Trustee.

 
6.
Dividends. Each registered holder of a Trust Certificate shall be entitled to receive from the Trustee, as and when paid by OLB, payment of any dividends or distributions other than in the form of shares of OLB common stock, upon the number of Trust Shares represented by such Trust Certificate.  Subject to Section 3(a) of this Agreement, in the event that any dividend or distribution in the form of shares of OLB common stock is paid with respect to the Trust Shares, such shares shall be issued to and in the name of the Trustee, in such trust capacity, and each registered holder of a Trust Certificate issued hereunder shall be entitled to receive from the Trustee new or additional Trust Certificates in the amount of the shares of OLB common stock received by the Trustee as such dividend or distribution upon the number of the Trust Shares represented by the Trust Certificates theretofore held by such holder.

 
7.
Legends .  The parties agree that a copy of this Agreement shall be filed with OLB and that the Trust Shares and the Trust Certificates shall be noted to reflect the existence of this Agreement and its terms and conditions.
 
 
 
 
A-71

 
 

 
 
8.

9.
Governing Law .  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of Maryland without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.  Each of the Parties consents to personal jurisdiction in the State of Maryland voluntarily submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Maryland in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, including the federal district courts located in Maryland, and shall not contend that any such court is an improper or inconvenient venue.  Each Party agrees that it may be served with process at its address set forth on the signature page hereof.  Nothing in this Section 9 shall limit the right of any Party to obtain execution of judgment in any other jurisdiction.  The prevailing Party in any judicial proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorneys fees from the non-prevailing Party.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR RIGHT TO DEMAND TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF, OR FOR DAMAGES DUE AS A RESULT OF AN ALLEGED BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 
10.
Severability; Modification .  In the event any Court shall determine that any provision of this Agreement is invalid, such determination shall not affect the validity of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed so as to be valid under applicable law.  The Parties hereby expressly request any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any such provision or covenant or to modify any provision thereof so that it shall be enforced by such court to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

1.           Effective as of the date of this amendment, Section 2.5(b) of the Agreement is amended and restated to read as follows:

(b)           Election Procedures.  An Election Form, together with a Letter of Transmittal and instructions, shall be mailed no more than forty (40) Business Days and no less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date, or on such earlier date as OLB and Holdings shall mutually agree, to each holder of record of Holdings Common Stock as of such mailing date, pursuant to which Holdings Common Stockholders will:

ANNEX B

OPINION OF AMBASSADOR FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.




 
Board of Directors
September 10, 2012
Old Line Bancshares, Inc.
 
1525 Pointer Ridge Place
 
Bowie, Maryland 20716
 
 
Dear Members of the Board,

This letter sets forth Ambassador Financial Group, Inc.’s (“Ambassador”) Opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of view to the shareholders of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. (“OLB”) of Bowie, Maryland, of OLB’s acquisition of all of the outstanding common stock of WSB Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) of Bowie, Maryland, for aggregate consideration of $49 million to be paid $17 million in cash consideration (35%) and $32 million (65%) in stock consideration based on the closing price of OLB common stock (NASDAQ: OLBK) on September 7, 2012.
 
The aggregate consideration may be adjusted if certain events occur.   These events include net operating losses, asset quality adjustments, valuation of certain investment securities and merger expenses in excess of a set amount.  Absent any adjustment, the per share stock consideration is based on an exchange ratio of 0.5608 and the per share cash consideration is $6.09 per share.

In opining as to the fairness of OLB’s offer, it had to be determined if OLB common stock to be exchanged for Holding common stock is fairly valued.  Fair value is defined as the price at which the shares of OLB or Holdings common stock would change hands between a willing seller and a willing buyer with each having a reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts.

In determining a fair value of OLB common stock, the primary emphasis was on the pricing of comparable banks supported by various other analyses, including, a discounted dividends analysis.

In determining the fair value of WSB, the primary emphasis was on a comparable transaction analysis.  Primary emphasis was given to prices paid relative to capital for banking institutions that had financial and market characteristics similar to that of WSB.  Adjustments were then considered relative to the differences between Holdings and the comparable transactions.  Other analyses were utilized as appropriate.

Additionally, in rendering our Opinion, we:

v  
Reviewed and analyzed the Agreement and Plan of Merger.

v  
Reviewed Holdings’ audited consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and related audited consolidated statements of income, statements of changes in stockholders equity and statements of cash flows for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2011 and 2010.

v  
Reviewed Holdings’ Annual Reports on form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ending June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012.

v  
Reviewed OLB’s Annual Reports on form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ending June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
B-1

 
 

 
v  
Reviewed and analyzed other publicly available information regarding OLB and Holdings.

v  
Reviewed certain non-public information including business plans, financial projections and third party loan reviews regarding Holdings.

v  
Reviewed certain non-public information including business plans and financial projections regarding OLB.

v  
Reviewed recent reported stock prices and trading activity of OLB and Holdings common stock.

v  
Discussed past and current operations, financial condition and future prospects of each company with senior executives of OLB and Holdings.

v  
Reviewed and analyzed certain publicly available financial, transaction and stock market data of banking companies that we selected as relevant to our analysis.

v  
Conducted other analyses and reviewed other information we considered necessary or appropriate.

v  
Incorporated our assessment of the overall economic environment and market conditions, as well as our experience in mergers and acquisitions, bank stock valuations and other transactions.

In rendering our Opinion, we also relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy, reasonableness and completeness of the information, projections and forecasts provided by OLB and Holdings (“Materials Received”).  In particular, we relied upon the results of OLB’s review of the Holdings’ loan portfolio and discussions of the results and projections with executive management of OLB.  Ambassador does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, reasonableness and completeness of the Materials Received.

In addition to the Material Received by Ambassador from OLB and Holdings, we also relied on some publicly available information.  All of the data is believed to be reliable, but the completeness and the accuracy of such information cannot be guaranteed and Ambassador did not independently verify the information, with the exception of valuing certain fixed-income securities held in the investment portfolio of Holdings.

In valuing these fixed-income securities, Ambassador relied solely on the information provided by Holdings, with the exception of market value.  Ambassador determined the market values of these fixed-income securities based on its own in-house models as well as pricing indications from independent broker-dealers that trade in fixed-income securities.

This Opinion is based on conditions as they existed, and the information we received, as of the date of this Opinion.  Ambassador does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion.  Ambassador did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor, and believes that these analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of such analyses and the factors considered by it, without considering all such analyses and factors, could create an incomplete view of the underlying process and conclusions.  Any analysis such as those undertaken, are subject to uncertainties and contingencies all of which are difficult to predict and are beyond the control of Ambassador.

Ambassador expressed no opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to officers, directors, or employees of any party to the merger, or any class of such persons relative to the consideration paid in the merger or with respect to the fairness of such compensation and Ambassador expressed no opinion as to the price at which OLB common stock or Holdings common stock will trade at any future time.

Ambassador’s fairness committee approved the issuance of this fairness opinion letter.

Ambassador acted as OLB’s financial advisor in this transaction; has received a portion of its fee for its engagement; will receive a portion of its fee upon the execution of a definitive agreement; and the remainder of its fee contingent upon the closing of the transaction.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
B-2

 
 

 
During the past two years, Ambassador has received compensation from OLB for investment banking and fixed-income trading.  At the time of issuance of this opinion, no other services have been contracted, but Ambassador expects to continue to perform similar services in the future.  During the past two years, Ambassador has not received any compensation from Holdings.

Based on the foregoing, our experience, and other factors we deemed relevant, it is our opinion that as of the date hereof that OLB’s acquisition of all of the outstanding common stock of Holdings, in exchange for OLB common stock, which is fairly valued, and cash, is fair to the shareholders of OLB from a financial point of view.

 
Respectfully submitted,

In rendering its opinion, RP Financial relied, without independent verification, on the accuracy and completeness of the information concerning WSB and OLBK furnished by the respective institutions to RP Financial for review for purposes of its opinion, as well as publicly-available information regarding other financial institutions and competitive, economic and demographic data.  We have further relied on the assurances of management of WSB and OLBK that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any of such information inaccurate or misleading.  We have not been asked to and have not undertaken an independent verification of any of such information and we do not assume any such responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof.  WSB did not restrict RP Financial as to the material it was permitted to review.  RP Financial did not perform or obtain any independent appraisals or evaluations of the assets and liabilities, the collateral securing the assets or the liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of WSB or OLBK or the collectability of any such assets, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals.  We did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of WSB or OLBK nor have we reviewed any individual credit files relating to WSB or OLBK.
 
RP Financial, with your consent, has relied upon the advice WSB has received from its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the Agreement and other transactions contemplated by the Agreement.  In rendering its opinion, RP Financial assumed that, in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory and governmental approvals for the proposed Merger, no restriction will be imposed on WSB that would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Merger to be consummated as set forth in the Agreement.  We have also assumed that there has been no material change in WSB or OLBK’s assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statement made available to us.  We have assumed in all respects material to our analyses, that all of the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement and all related agreements are true and correct, that each party to such agreements will perform all of the convenants required to be performed by such party under such agreements and that the conditions precedent in the Agreement are not waived.
 
 
Opinion
 
It is understood that this letter is directed to the Board of Directors of WSB in its consideration of the Agreement, and does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of WSB as to any action that such shareholder should take in connection with the Agreement, or otherwise.  Our opinion is directed only to the fairness of the Merger Consideration to the current holders of WSB common stock from a financial point of view as of the date of the Agreement.
 
It is understood that this opinion is based on market conditions and other circumstances existing on the date hereof.  Events occurring after the date hereof could materially affect this opinion.  We are expressing no opinion herein as to the prices at which OLBK common stock may trade at any time.
 
We will receive a fee for our fairness opinion services.  WSB has agreed to indemnify us against certain liabilities arising out of our engagement.  We have previously provided certain other, planning and financial advisory services to WSB.
 
It is understood that this opinion may be included in its entirety in any communication by WSB or its Board of Directors to the stockholders of WSB.  It is also understood that this opinion may be included in its entirety in any regulatory filing by WSB, and that RP Financial consents to the summary of this opinion in the proxy materials of WSB, and any amendments thereto.  Except as described above, this opinion may not be summarized, excerpted from or otherwise publicly referred to without RP Financial’s prior written consent.

ANNEX D

SECTION 262 OF THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW

Delaware Code, Chapter 8
 
§ 262. Appraisal rights.
 
(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder's shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word "stockholder" means a holder of record of stock in a corporation; the words "stock" and "share" mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words; and the words "depository receipt" mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in 1 or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.
 
(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263 or § 264 of this title:
 
(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in § 251(f) of this title.
 
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§ 251, 252, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:
 
a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;
 
b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;
 
c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a. and b. of this section; or
 
d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a., b. and c. of this section.
 
 
 
 
D-1

 
 
 
 
(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 or § 267 of this title is not owned by the parent immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.
 
(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.
 
(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:
 
(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder's shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or
 
(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228, § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder's shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder's shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder's shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.
 
 
 
D-2

 
 
 
(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder's written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person's own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.
 
(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.
 
(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.
 
(h) After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder's certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.
 
 
 
D-3

 
 
 
(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court's decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.
 
(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.
 
(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder's demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section .
 
(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

PART II – INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
Item 20.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law establishes provisions that a corporation may (and, unless otherwise provided in the corporation’s charter, if the party to be indemnified is successful on the merits or otherwise, must) indemnify any director or officer made party to any threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding by reason of service in the capacity of a director or officer, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such proceeding, unless it is proved that (a) the act or omission for which the director or officer seeks indemnification was material to the matter giving rise to the action, suit or proceeding and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.  If the proceeding is a derivative suit in favor of the corporation, indemnification may not be made in any proceeding in which the director or officer is adjudged to be liable to the corporation.  The statute also provides for indemnification of directors and officers by court order.

The Registrant’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement (the “Charter”) provide for indemnification and the advancement of expenses for any person who is serving or has served as a director or officer of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted under the Maryland General Corporation Law.

The rights of indemnification provided in the Registrant’s Charter are not exclusive of any other rights which may be available under any insurance or other agreement, by resolution of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

The Registrant maintains officers’ and directors’ liability insurance in the amount of $15 million.

Item 22.  Undertakings
 
(a)           The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 
1.  
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 
(i)  
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.

 
(ii)  
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 
(iii)  
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 
2.  
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
 
 
 
II-5

 
 

 
 
3.  
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 
4.  
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:  The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 
(i)  
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 
(ii)  
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 
(iii)  
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 
(iv)  
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 
5.  
The undersigned registrant undertakes as follows: That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

 
6.  
The registrant undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to the paragraph immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(b)           The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
 
 
 
 
 
II-6

 

 
(c)           The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
 
 
 
 
II-7

 
 

 
SIGNATURES
 
 
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the registrant has duly caused this amendment to the registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the city of Bowie, State of Maryland, on December 20, 2012.

Re:
Old Line Bancshares, Inc. - Registration Statement on Form S-4

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Old Line Bancshares, Inc., a Maryland corporation, (the “ Company ”) in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “ Registration Statement ”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “ Act ”), relating to the issuance by the Company of up to 2,963,653 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “ Shares ”), in connection with the merger (the “ Merger ”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between the Company and WSB Holdings, Inc., dated September 10, 2012, as amended November 8, 2012 (the “ Merger Agreement ”).

In rendering the opinion expressed herein, we have reviewed originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the Merger Agreement, (iii) the Company’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement and Articles of Amendment thereto (collectively, the “ Charter ”), (iv) the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “ Bylaws ”), (v) the resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the Merger, the Merger Agreement, the Registration Statement and the issuance of the Shares thereunder (the “ Resolutions ”), (vi) a short-form good standing certificate for the Company issued as of a recent date by the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation, (vi) a Certificate of the Company executed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company dated December 20, 2012 (the “ Certificate ”), and (vii) such other statutes, certificates, instruments and documents as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering to render the opinion set forth herein.

In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have assumed, without independent investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all individuals who have executed any of the documents reviewed by us, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the persons identified as officers are actually serving as such and that any certificates representing the Shares are properly executed by one or more such persons, that the representations of officers and employees are correct as to questions of fact, the conformity with originals of all documents submitted to us as copies (and the authenticity of the originals of such copies), the enforceability against each of the parties thereto of the Merger Agreement, the accuracy and completeness of all public records reviewed by us, and that the Charter, Bylaws and Resolutions will not have been amended or rescinded prior to the time that the Merger is effective and the Shares are issued and the Resolutions are and will be at such time in full force and effect.

We have also assumed that (1) the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto will have become effective and will remain effective at the time of the issuance of the Shares thereunder, and (2) the joint proxy statement/prospectus describing the Shares will be filed with the Commission to the extent required by applicable law and relevant rules and regulations of the Commission, (3) at the time of the issuance of the Shares, the Company will record or cause to be recorded in its stock ledger the name of the persons to whom such shares are issued; and (4) the Company will remain duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under Maryland law at the time any Shares are issued.

As to any facts material to our opinion set forth below, without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation, we have relied exclusively upon the documents reviewed by us, the statements and information set forth in such documents, the Certificate and the additional matters recited or assumed in this letter, all of which we assume to be true, complete and accurate in all respects.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations and assumptions set forth herein, and having due regard for such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that, when the Commission has declared the Registration Statement effective, the stockholders of the Company and WSB Holdings, Inc. have approved the Merger and the Merger Agreement, as applicable, the Merger has been effected pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, and the Shares have been issued by the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The foregoing opinion is based on and is limited to the Maryland General Corporation Law (including the reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws currently in effect), and we express no opinion herein with respect to the effect or applicability of the laws of any other jurisdiction.  The opinion expressed herein concerns only the effect of the laws (excluding the principles of conflict of laws) as currently in effect, and we assume no obligation to supplement the opinion expressed herein if any applicable laws change after the date hereof or such later date as the Registration Statement becomes effective, or if we become aware of any facts that might change the opinion expressed herein subsequent to the date the Registration Statement becomes effective.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, we express no opinion concerning the securities laws of the State of Maryland, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any decisional laws interpreting any of the provisions of the securities laws of the State of Maryland, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

The opinion expressed in this letter is solely for your use in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement and is limited to the matters set forth herein, and no other opinion should be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 and to the references to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the joint proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement.  By giving such consent, we do not admit that we are experts with respect to any part of the Registration Statement, including Exhibit 5, within the meaning of the term “expert” as used in the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Re:
Merger of WSB Holdings, Inc. into Old Line Bancshares, Inc.
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to WSB Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WSB Holdings”), in connection with the proposed merger (the “Merger”) of WSB Holdings with and into Old Line Bancshares, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“OLB”).  The Merger will be effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 10, 2012, as amended on November 8, 2012, by and between the OLB and WSB Holdings (the “Merger Agreement”).  All references in this opinion letter to the “Code”, unless otherwise indicated, are to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  All capitalized terms used in this opinion letter and not otherwise defined in this opinion letter shall have the meanings assigned to those terms in the Merger Agreement.

This opinion is being furnished pursuant to Section 6.1(g) of the Merger Agreement.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have examined and, with your consent, have relied upon (without any independent investigation or review thereof) the following documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) (i) the Merger Agreement, (ii) the Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended to date, filed by the OLB with the Securities and Exchange Commission, File No. 333-184924 (the “Registration Statement”), (iii) certain factual representations and certifications made by WSB Holdings; (iv) certain factual representations and certifications made by the OLB, and (v) such other instruments and documents related to the formation, organization and operation of WSB Holdings and OLB or to the consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby as we have deemed necessary or appropriate (collectively, the “Documents”).

The Proposed Transaction

Based solely upon our review of the Documents and the information contained therein (which information we have not attempted to verify in any respect), and in reliance upon such Documents and information, we understand that the proposed transaction and the relevant facts with respect thereto are as follows:

(a)   For the reasons set forth in the Registration Statement, it is proposed that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the laws of the States of Maryland and Delaware, WSB Holdings merge with and into the Surviving Corporation.  WSB Holdings’s separate corporate existence will cease and the OLB will be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”).  As the Surviving Corporation, the OLB will succeed to all of the assets and liabilities of WSB Holdings under the Maryland General Corporation Law and the Delaware General Corporation Law.

(b)   As set forth in Section 1.3(b)(iv) of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, subject to the other provisions of Article I of the Merger Agreement and the provisions of Article II of the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, of WSB Holdings issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares that are owned, directly or indirectly, by the OLB or any of its Subsidiaries (other than shares that are held in trust, managed, custodial or nominee accounts and the like and which are beneficially owned by third parties or held for debts previously contracted)) shall, by virtue of the Merger Agreement and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and exchangeable for the right to receive (x) the Per Share Common Stock Consideration, or (y) the Per Share Cash Consideration, or (z) a combination of the Per Share Common Stock Consideration and the Per Share Cash Consideration.

Assumptions and Representations

In connection with rendering this opinion letter, we have assumed or obtained representations (and, with your consent, are relying thereon, without any independent investigation or review thereof, although we are not aware of any material facts or circumstances contrary to or inconsistent therewith) that:

1.   All information contained in each of the Documents is accurate and completely describes all material facts relevant to our opinions.  With respect to such Documents, we have also assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all individuals signing the Documents, the authenticity of the Documents and the conformity with originals of all Documents submitted to us as copies.  We have further assumed that there has been due execution and delivery of all Documents where due execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness thereof.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
WSB Holdings, Inc.
 December 20, 2012

2.   All corporate actions required by the Maryland General Corporation Law and the Delaware General Corporation Law for a statutory merger will have been taken, articles of merger and/or a certificate of merger in form and substance required by the Maryland General Corporation Law and the Delaware General Corporation Law will have been filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland and the Secretary of State of Delaware, respectively, and the Merger will have become effective under the Maryland General Corporation Law and the Delaware General Corporation Law.

3.   The Merger will be consummated in accordance with the Merger Agreement and Maryland and Delaware law, and as described in the Registration Statement (including satisfaction of all covenants and conditions to the obligations of the parties without amendment or waiver thereof); each of the OLB and WSB Holdings will comply with all reporting obligations with respect to the Merger required under the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder; and the Merger Agreement and all other documents and instruments referred to therein or in the Registration Statement are valid and binding in accordance with their terms.

Opinion - Federal Income Tax Consequences

Based upon and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth herein and in the Registration Statement, we are of the opinion that, under current law, the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” for United States federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code.  In addition, w e hereby confirm that, subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth herein and in the Registration Statement, the discussion set forth in the section of the Registration Statement entitled “THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND THE MERGER” under the heading “Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences”, constitutes our opinion as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of those matters set forth therein as to which we are described as rendering an opinion.  

In addition to the assumptions set forth above, the opinions set forth herein are subject to the exceptions, limitations and qualifications set forth below:

1.   This opinion letter represents and is based upon our best judgment regarding the application of relevant current provisions of the Code and interpretations of the foregoing as expressed in existing court decisions, administrative determinations (including the practices and procedures of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) in issuing private letter rulings, which are not binding on the IRS except with respect to the taxpayer that receives such a ruling) and published rulings and procedures all as of the date hereof.  An opinion of counsel merely represents counsel’s best judgment with respect to the probable outcome on the merits and is not binding on the IRS or the courts.  There can be no assurance that positions contrary to our opinions will not be taken by the IRS, or that a court considering the issues would not hold contrary to such opinions.  WSB Holdings has not requested a ruling from the IRS (and no ruling will be sought) as to any of the federal income tax consequences addressed in this opinion.  Furthermore, no assurance can be given that future legislative, judicial or administrative changes, on either a prospective or retroactive basis, would not adversely affect the accuracy of the opinion expressed herein.  Nevertheless, we undertake no responsibility to advise you of any new developments in the law or in the application or interpretation of the federal income tax laws.

2.   This letter addresses only the specific tax opinions set forth above.  This letter does not address any other federal, state, local or foreign tax consequences that may result from the Merger or any other transaction (including any transaction undertaken in connection with the Merger).  We express no opinion regarding, among other things, the tax consequences of the Merger (including the opinion set forth above) as applied to specific stockholders of WSB Holdings, such as dealers in securities, stockholders subject to the alternative minimum tax, foreign persons, and holders of shares acquired upon exercise of stock options or in other compensatory transactions.

3.   Our opinions set forth herein are based upon the description of the contemplated transaction as set forth in (i) the section of this opinion letter captioned “The Proposed Transaction;” (ii) the Merger Agreement; and (iii) the Registration Statement (these descriptions are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Description”).  If the actual facts relating to any aspect of the contemplated transaction differ from the Transaction Description in any material respect, then our opinions may become inapplicable.  No opinion is expressed as to any transaction other than those set forth in the Transaction Description or to any transaction whatsoever, including the Merger, if all the transactions described in the Transaction Description are not consummated in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Description and without waiver or breach of any material provision thereof or if all of the representations, warranties, statements and assumptions upon which we relied are not true and accurate at all relevant times.  In the event any one of the statements, representations, warranties or assumptions upon which we have relied to issue this opinion letter is incorrect, our opinions might be adversely affected and may not be relied upon.

4.   In basing matters set forth herein on our knowledge or awareness, the words “knowledge” and “awareness” (and any variations thereof) signify that in the course of our representation as counsel to WSB Holdings, no information has come to our attention that would give us actual knowledge or actual notice that any such matters are not accurate or that any of the Documents and information on which we have relied are not accurate and complete.  The words “knowledge” and “awareness” and similar language used herein are intended to be limited to knowledge of the lawyers within our firm who have been actively involved in specific matters for WSB Holdings insofar as such knowledge pertains to the area(s) of their involvement.  Except as otherwise stated herein, we have undertaken no independent investigation or verification of such matters.

WHEREAS, the experience of the Participant, the Participant’s knowledge of the affairs of the Plan Sponsor, the Participant’s reputation and contacts in the industry are so valuable that assurance of the Participant’s continued services is essential for the future growth and profits of the Plan Sponsor and it is in the best interests of the Plan Sponsor to arrange terms of continued employment for the Participant so as to reasonably assure the Participant’s remaining in the Plan Sponsor's employment during the Participant’s lifetime or until the age of retirement; and,

WHEREAS , it is the desire of the Plan Sponsor that the Participant’s services be retained as herein provided; and,

WHEREAS , the Participant is willing to continue in the employ of the Plan Sponsor provided the Plan Sponsor agrees to pay to the Participant’s beneficiaries certain benefits in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and,

In the event the Participant dies while receiving payments, but prior to receiving all the payments due and owing hereunder, the unpaid balance of the payments shall continue to be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary at the same time and in the same form as those payments would have made to the Participant had the Participant survived.

        3.9             Subsequent Changes in the Time or Form of Payment. If permitted by the Plan Sponsor, a Participant may elect to change the time or form of payments (collectively, “payment elections”), provided the following conditions are met:
 
(i)     Such change will not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the new payment election is made and approved by the Plan Administrator;

(ii)          If the change of payment election relates to a payment based on Separation from Service, or if the payment is at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule, the change of payment election must result in payment being deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been paid (or in the case of installment payments, which are treated as a single payment, five (5) years from the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid);

(iii)         If the change of payment election relates to a payment at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule, the Participant or Plan Sponsor must make the change of payment election not less than twelve (12) months before the date the payment is scheduled to be paid (or in the case of installment payments, which are treated as a single payment, twelve (12) months before the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid).

3.10             Delay in Payment by Plan Sponsor.
 
(a)           A payment may be delayed to a date after the designated payment date under any of the circumstances described below, and the provision will not fail to meet the requirements of establishing a permissible payment event. The delay in the payment will not constitute a subsequent deferral election, so long as the Plan Sponsor treats all payments to similarly situated Participants on a reasonably consistent basis.

(i)            Payments subject to Section 162(m). A payment may be delayed to the extent that the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates that if the payment were made as scheduled, the Plan Sponsor’s deduction with respect to such payment would not be permitted due to the application of Code §162(m). If a payment is delayed, such payment must be made either:
 
 
           (1) during the Participant’s first Taxable Year in which the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates, or should reasonably anticipate, that if the payment is made during such year, the deduction of such payment will not be barred by application of Code §162(m) or,

           (2) during the period beginning with the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service and ending on the later of the last day of the Taxable Year of the Plan Sponsor in which the Participant separates from service or the 15 th day of the third month following the Participant’s Separation from Service.  Where any scheduled payment to a specific Participant in the Plan Sponsor’s Taxable Year is delayed in accordance with this Article, the delay in payment will be treated as a subsequent deferral election unless all scheduled payments to the Participant that could be delayed in accordance with this Article are also delayed. Where the payment is delayed to a date on or after the Participant’s Separation from Service, the payment will be considered a payment upon a Separation from Service for purposes of the rules under Treasury Regulations §1.409A-3(i)(2) (payments to specified employees upon a separation from service) and, the 6 month delay rule will apply for Specified Employees.

(ii)          Payments that would violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law. A payment may be delayed where the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law provided that the payment is made at the earliest date at which the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation. The making of a payment that would cause inclusion in gross income or the application of any penalty provision or other provision of the Internal Revenue Code is not treated as a violation of applicable law.

(iii)         Other events and conditions. The Plan Sponsor may delay a payment upon such other events and conditions as the Commissioner of the IRS may prescribe.

(iv)      Not withstanding the above, a payment may be delayed in accordance with Code section 409A where the payment would jeopardize the ability of the Plan Sponsor to continue as a going concern.

(b)        Treatment of Payment as Made on Designated Payment Date. Each payment under this Plan is deemed made on the required payment date even if the payment is made after such date, provided the payment is made by the latest of: (i) the end of the calendar year in which the payment is due; (ii) the 15th day of the third calendar month following the payment due date; (iii) in case the Plan Sponsor cannot calculate the payment amount on account of administrative impracticality which is beyond the Participant's control (or the control of the Participant's estate), in the first calendar year in which payment is practicable; (iv) in case the Plan Sponsor does not have sufficient funds to make the payment without jeopardizing the Plan Sponsor’s solvency, in the first calendar year in which the Plan Sponsor’s funds are sufficient to make the payment.

3.11           Unsecured General Creditor Status of Participant:
 
(a)           Payment to the Participant or any Beneficiary hereunder shall be made from assets which shall continue, for all purposes, to be part of the general, unrestricted assets of the Plan Sponsor and no person shall have any interest in any such asset by virtue of any provision of this Plan. The Plan Sponsor’s obligation hereunder shall be an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.  To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Plan Sponsor under the provisions hereof, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Plan Sponsor and no such person shall have or acquire any legal or equitable right, interest, or claim in or to any property or assets of the Plan Sponsor.
 
(b)           In the event that the Plan Sponsor purchases an insurance policy or policies insuring the life of a Participant or employee, to allow the Plan Sponsor to recover or meet the cost of providing benefits, in whole or in part, hereunder, no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any rights whatsoever in said policy or the proceeds therefrom. The Plan Sponsor or the Trustee of the Trust (if any) shall be the primary owner and beneficiary of any such insurance policy or property and shall possess and may exercise all incidents of ownership therein. No insurance policy with regard to any director, “highly compensated employee”, or “highly compensated individual” as defined in IRS Section 101(j) shall be acquired before satisfying the Section 101(j) “Notice and Consent” requirements.
 
(c)           In the event that the Plan Sponsor purchases an insurance policy or policies on the life of a Participant as provided for above, then all of such policies shall be subject to the claims of the creditors of the Plan Sponsor.
 
(d)           If the Plan Sponsor chooses to obtain insurance on the life of a Participant in connection with its obligations under this Plan, the Participant hereby agrees to take such physical examinations and to truthfully and completely supply such information as may be required by the Plan Sponsor or the insurance company designated by the Plan Sponsor.

3.12             Facility of Payment .   If a distribution is to be made to a minor, or to a person who is otherwise incompetent, then the Plan Administrator may make such distribution: (i) to the legal guardian, or if none, to a parent of a minor payee with whom the payee maintains residence; or (ii) to the conservator or administrator or, if none, to the person having custody of an incompetent payee. Any such distribution shall fully discharge the Plan Sponsor and the Plan Administrator from further liability on account thereof.
 
3.13             Excise Tax Limitation.   In the event that any payment or benefit (within the meaning of Code §280G(b)(2) of the Code) to the Participant or for the Participant’s benefit paid or payable or distributed or distributable (including, but not limited to, the acceleration of the time for the vesting or payment of such benefit or payment) pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, the Participant’s employment with the Plan Sponsor or any of its Affiliates or a Change in Control within the meaning of Code §280G of the Code (a "Payment" or "Payments"), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code §4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then the Payments shall be increased in an amount necessary to provide for the payment of the excise tax imposed by Code § 4999 (the "Section 4999 Limit").  Any payment made to the Participant under this Section 3.13 shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant remits the related taxes.

The Plan Sponsor, or trustee of the Trust, shall withhold from any payments made to a Participant or Beneficiary under this Plan all federal, state and local income, employment and other taxes required to be withheld by the Plan Sponsor in a manner determined in the sole discretion of the Plan Sponsor or the trustee of the Trust in compliance with applicable tax withholding requirements.

ARTICLE 5
BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

5.1             Designation of Beneficiaries.

(a)           The Participant may designate any person or persons (who may be named contingently or successively) to receive any benefits payable under the Plan upon the Participant’s death, and the designation may be changed from time to time by the Participant by filing a new designation. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the Participant and shall be in the form prescribed by the Administrator, and shall be effective only when filed in writing with the Administrator during the Participant’s lifetime.

(b)            In the absence of a valid Beneficiary designation, or if, at the time any benefit payment is due to a Beneficiary, there is no living Beneficiary validly named by the Participant, the Plan Sponsor shall pay the benefit payment to the Participant’s spouse, if then living, and if the spouse is not then living to the Participant’s then living descendants, if any, per stirpes, and if there are no living descendants, to the Participant’s estate. In determining the existence or identity of anyone entitled to a benefit payment, the Plan Sponsor may rely conclusively upon information supplied by the Participant’s personal representative, executor, or administrator.

(c)            If a question arises as to the existence or identity of anyone entitled to receive a death benefit payment under the Plan, or if a dispute arises with respect to any death benefit payment under the Plan, the Plan Sponsor may distribute the payment to the Participant’s estate without liability for any tax or other consequences, or may take any other action which the Plan Sponsor deems to be appropriate.

5.2             Information to be Furnished by Participants and Beneficiaries; Inability to Locate Participants or Beneficiaries.   Any communication, statement, or notice addressed to the Participant or to a Beneficiary at his or her last post office address as shown on the Plan Sponsor’s records shall be binding on the Participant or Beneficiary for all purposes of this Plan. The Plan Sponsor shall not be obligated to search for any Participant or Beneficiary beyond the sending of a registered letter to the last known address.


ARTICLE 6
ADMINISTRATION

6.1             Administrator Duties. The Administrator shall be responsible for the management, operation, and administration of the Plan. The Administrator shall act at meetings by affirmative vote of a majority of its members. Any action permitted to be taken at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if, prior to such action, a unanimous written consent to the action is signed by all members and such written consent is filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Administrator, provided, however that no member may vote or act upon any matter which relates solely to the Participant. The chair, or any other member or members of the Administrator designated by the chair, may execute any certificate or other written direction on behalf of the Administrator. When making a determination or calculation, the Administrator shall be entitled to rely on information furnished by the Participant or the Plan Sponsor. No provision of this Plan shall be construed as imposing on the Administrator any fiduciary duty under ERISA or other law, or any duty similar to any fiduciary duty under ERISA or other law.

6.2             Administrator Authority. The Administrator shall enforce this Plan in accordance with its terms, shall be charged with the general administration of this Plan, and shall have all powers necessary to accomplish its purposes, including, but not by way of limitation, the following:

6.4             Compensation, Expenses, and Indemnity. The Administrator shall serve without compensation for services rendered hereunder.

Expense and fees in connection with the administration of this Plan shall be paid by the Plan Sponsor.

6.5             Plan Sponsor Information. To enable the Administrator to perform its functions, the Plan Sponsor shall supply full and timely information to the Administrator, on all matters relating to the compensation of the Participant, the date and circumstances of the Disability, death, or Separation from Service of the Participant, and such other pertinent information as the Administrator may reasonably require.

6.6             Periodic Statements.   Under procedures established by the Administrator, Participant shall be provided a statement on an annual basis.


ARTICLE 7
CLAIMS PROCEDURE

7.1             Claims Procedures .  This Section 7.1 is based on final regulations issued by the Department of Labor and published in the Federal Register on November 21, 2000 and codified at section 2560.503 1 of the Department of Labor Regulations.  If any provision of this Section 8.4 conflicts with the requirements of those regulations, the requirements of those regulations will prevail.
 
(a)            Initial Claim .  A Participant or Beneficiary who believes he or she is entitled to any Benefit (a "Claimant") under this Plan may file a claim with the Administrator.  The Administrator will review the claim itself or appoint another individual or entity to review the claim.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Page 11 of 20

 
 
 
 
(i)            Benefit Claims that do not Require a Determination of Disability .  If the claim is for a benefit other than a disability benefit, the Claimant will be notified within ninety (90) days after the claim is filed whether the claim is allowed or denied, unless the Claimant receives written notice from the Administrator or appointee of the Administrator before the end of the ninety (90) day period stating that special circumstances require an extension of the time for decision, such extension not to extend beyond the day which is one hundred eighty (180) days after the day the claim is filed.
 
(ii)            Disability Benefit Claims .  In the case of a benefits claim that requires a determination by the Plan Administrator of a Participant’s disability status, the Plan Administrator will notify the Claimant of the Plan’s adverse benefit determination within a reasonable period of time, but not later than forty-five (45) days after receipt of the claim.  If, due to matters beyond the control of the Plan, the Plan Administrator needs additional time to process a claim, the Claimant will be notified, within forty-five (45) days after the Plan Administrator receives the claim, of those circumstances and of when the Plan Administrator expects to make its decision but not beyond seventy-five (75) days.  If, prior to the end of the extension period, due to matters beyond the control of the Plan, a decision cannot be rendered within that extension period, the period for making the determination may be extended for up to one hundred five (105) days, provided that the Plan Administrator notifies the Claimant of the circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the Plan expects to render a decision.  The extension notice will specifically explain the standards on which entitlement to a disability benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim and the additional information needed from the Claimant to resolve those issues, and the Claimant will be afforded at least forty-five (45) days within which to provide the specified information.
 
(iii)            Manner and Content of Denial of Initial Claims .  If the Plan Administrator denies a claim, it must provide to the Claimant, in writing or by electronic communication:
 
(A)           The specific reasons for the denial;
 
(B)           A reference to the Plan provision or insurance contract provision upon which the denial is based;
 
(C)           A description of any additional information or material that the Claimant must provide in order to perfect the claim;
 
(D)           An explanation of why such additional material or information is necessary;
 
(E)           Notice that the Claimant has a right to request a review of the claim denial and information on the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to request a review of the claim denial; and
 
(F)           A statement of the participant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA section 502(a) following a denial on review of the initial denial.
 
In addition, in the case of a denial of disability benefits on the basis of the Plan Administrator’s independent determination of the Participant’s disability status, the Plan Administrator will provide a copy of any rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion relied upon in making the adverse determination (or a statement that the same will be provided upon request by the Claimant and without charge).
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Page 12 of 20

 
 
 
 
(b)            Review Procedures .
 
(i)            Benefit Claims that do not Require a Determination of Disability .  Except for claims requiring an independent determination of a Participant’s disability status, a request for review of a denied claim must be made in writing to the Plan Administrator within sixty (60) days after receiving notice of denial.  The decision upon review will be made within sixty (60) days after the Plan Administrator's receipt of a request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision will be rendered not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of a request for review.  A notice of such an extension must be provided to the Claimant within the initial sixty (60) day period and must explain the special circumstances and provide an expected date of decision.
 
The reviewer will afford the Claimant an opportunity to review and receive, without charge, all relevant documents, information and records and to submit issues and comments in writing to the Plan Administrator.  The reviewer will take into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim regardless of whether the information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.
 
(ii)            Disability Benefit Claims .  In addition to having the right to review documents and submit comments as described in (i) above, a Claimant whose claim for disability benefits requires an independent determination by the Plan Administrator of the Participant’s disability status has at least one hundred eighty (180) days following receipt of a notification of an adverse benefit determination within which to request a review of the initial determination.  In such cases, the review will meet the following requirements:
 
(A)          The Plan will provide a review that does not afford deference to the initial adverse benefit determination and that is conducted by an appropriate named fiduciary of the Plan who did not make the initial determination that is the subject of the appeal, nor is a subordinate of the individual who made the determination.
 
(B)           The appropriate named fiduciary of the Plan will consult with a health care professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment before making a decision on review of any adverse initial determination based in whole or in part on a medical judgment.  The professional engaged for purposes of a consultation in the preceding sentence will not be an individual who was consulted in connection with the initial determination that is the subject of the appeal or the subordinate of any such individual.
 
(C)           The Plan will identify to the Claimant the medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with the review, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit review determination.
 
(D)           The decision on review will be made within forty-five (45) days after the Plan Administrator's receipt of a request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision will be rendered not later than ninety (90) days after receipt of a request for review.  A notice of such an extension must be provided to the Claimant within the initial forty-five (45) day period and must explain the special circumstances and provide an expected date of decision.
 
(iii)            Manner and Content of Notice of Decision on Review .  Upon completion of its review of an adverse initial claim determination, the Plan Administrator will give the Claimant, in writing or by electronic notification, a notice containing:
 
(A)           its decision;
 
(B)           the specific reasons for the decision;
 
(C)           the relevant Plan provisions or insurance contract provisions on which its decision is based;
 
(D)           a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and without charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information in the Plan’s files which is relevant to the Claimant’s claim for benefits;
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Page 13 of 20

 
 
 
 
(E)           a statement describing the Claimant’s right to bring an action for judicial review under ERISA section 502(a); and
 
(F)           if an internal rule, guideline, protocol or other similar criterion was relied upon in making the adverse determination on review, a statement that a copy of the rule, guideline, protocol or other similar criterion will be provided without charge to the Claimant upon request.
 
(c)            Calculation of Time Periods .  For purposes of the time periods specified in this Section, the period of time during which a benefit determination is required to be made begins at the time a claim is filed in accordance with the Plan procedures without regard to whether all the information necessary to make a decision accompanies the claim.  If a period of time is extended due to a Claimant's failure to submit all information necessary, the period for making the determination shall be tolled from the date the notification is sent to the Claimant until the date the Claimant responds.
 
(d)            Failure of Plan to Follow Procedures .  If the Plan fails to follow the claims procedures required by this Section 7.1, a Claimant shall be deemed to have exhausted the administrative remedies available under the Plan and shall be entitled to pursue any available remedy under ERISA section 502(a) on the basis that the Plan has failed to provide a reasonable claims procedure that would yield a decision on the merits of the claim.
 
(e)            Failure of Claimant to Follow Procedures .  A Claimant's compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1 is a mandatory prerequisite to the Claimant's right to commence any legal action with respect to any claim for benefits under the Plan.
 
7.2             Arbitration of Claims .   All claims or controversies arising out of or in connection with this Plan shall, subject to the initial review provided for in the foregoing provisions of this Article, be resolved through arbitration. Except as otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties, any arbitration shall be administered under and by the Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), in accordance with the JAMS procedures then in effect. The arbitration shall be held in the JAMS office nearest to where the Claimant is or was last employed by the Plan Sponsor or at a mutually agreeable location.
 

ARTICLE 8
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

8.1             Amendment. The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to amend this Plan at any time to comply with Section 409A or for any other purpose, provided that such amendment will not cause the Plan to violate the provisions of Section 409A. Except to the extent necessary to bring this Plan into compliance with Section 409A, no amendment or modification shall be effective to decrease the value or vested percentage of a Participant’s Accrued Benefit in existence at the time an amendment or modification is made to the Plan.

8.2             Plan Termination .  The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to terminate this Plan in accordance with one of the following, subject to the restrictions imposed by Section 409A and authoritative guidance:
 
 
 
(a)
Corporate Dissolution or Bankruptcy. This Plan may be terminated within twelve (12) months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code § 331, or with the approval of a Plan Sponsor bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 503(b)(1)(A), and distributions may then be made to the Participant provided that the amounts payable under this Plan are included in the Participants’ gross income in the latest of:

(i)    
The calendar year in which the Plan termination occurs;

(ii)   
The calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or

(iii)  
The first calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Page 14 of 20

 
 

 
 
(b)
Change in Control.   This Plan may be terminated within the thirty (30) days preceding or the twelve (12) months following a Change in Control. This Plan will then be treated as terminated only if all substantially similar arrangements sponsored by the Plan Sponsor are terminated so that all participants in all similar arrangements are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated arrangements within twelve (12) months of the date of termination of the arrangements.

 
(c)
Discretionary Termination . The Plan Sponsor may also terminate this Plan and make distributions provided that:
 
(i)     All plans sponsored by the Plan Sponsor that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangements under Treasury Regulations §1.409A-1(c) are terminated;
 
  No payments, other than payments that would be payable under the terms of this plan if the termination had not occurred, are made within twelve (12) months of this plan termination;
 
(iii)   All payments are made within twenty-four (24) months of this plan termination; and
 
(iv)     Neither the Plan Sponsor nor any of its affiliates adopts a new plan that would be aggregated with any terminated plan if the same Participant participated in both arrangements at any time within three (3) years following the date of termination of this Plan.
 
(v)      The termination does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Plan Sponsor.

 
ARTICLE 9
THE TRUST
 
9.1             Establishment of Trust .   The Plan Sponsor may establish a grantor trust (the “Trust”), of which the Plan Sponsor is the grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, subtitle A of the Code, to pay benefits under this Plan. If the Plan Sponsor establishes a Trust, all benefits payable under this Plan to a Participant shall be paid directly by the Plan Sponsor from the Trust. To the extent such benefits are not paid from the Trust, the benefits shall be paid from the general assets of the Plan Sponsor. The Trust, (if any), shall be a grantor trust which conforms to the terms of the model trust as described in IRS Revenue Procedure 92-64, I.R.B. 1992-33, as same may be amended or modified from time to time. If the Plan Sponsor establishes a Trust, the assets of the Trust will be subject to the claims of the Plan Sponsor’s creditors in the event of its insolvency. Except as may otherwise be provided under the Trust, the Plan Sponsor shall not be obligated to set aside, earmark, or escrow any funds or other assets to satisfy its obligations under this Plan, and the Participant and/or her designated Beneficiaries shall not have any property interest in any specific assets of the Plan Sponsor other than the unsecured right to receive payments from the Plan Sponsor, as provided in this Plan.
 
9.2             Interrelationship of the Plan and the Trust .   The provisions of this Plan shall govern the rights of a Participant to receive distributions pursuant to this Plan. The provisions of the Trust (if established) shall govern the rights of the Participant and the creditors of the Plan Sponsor to the assets transferred to the Trust. The Plan Sponsor and each Participant shall at all times remain liable to carry out its obligations under this Plan. The Plan Sponsor’s obligations under this Plan may be satisfied with Trust assets distributed pursuant to the terms of the Trust.

9.3             Contribution to the Trust .   Amounts may be contributed by the Plan Sponsor to the Trust at the sole discretion of the Plan Sponsor.
 

ARTICLE 10
MISCELLANEOUS
 
10.1         Validity.   In case any provision of this Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein; except to the extent that Section 409A requires that this Section 10.1 be disregarded because it purports to nullify Plan terms that are not in compliance with Section 409A.
 
10.2         Nonassignability. Neither any Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage, or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate, alienate, or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part hereof, which are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to be, unassignable and non-transferable. No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment (except to the extent the Plan Sponsor may be required to garnish amounts from payments due under this Plan pursuant to applicable law), or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony, or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency, or be transferable to a spouse as a result of a property settlement or otherwise. If any Participant, Beneficiary, or successor in interest is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber transfer, hypothecate, alienate, or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amount, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, may cancel such distribution or payment (or any part thereof) to or for the benefit of such Participant, Beneficiary, or successor in interest in such manner as the Plan Administrator shall direct.

10.3          Not a Contract of Employment.   The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Plan Sponsor and the Participant. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Plan Sponsor as an employee or otherwise or to interfere with the right of the Plan Sponsor to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time.

10.4         Unclaimed Benefits. In the case that the Plan Administrator is unable to locate the Participant or Beneficiary to whom a benefit is payable, such Plan benefit shall be forfeited to the Plan Sponsor upon the Plan Administrator’s determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment may be made to a Participant, and that payment will be treated as made upon the date specified under the Plan, if the Participant provides notice to the Plan Sponsor within ninety (90) days of the latest date upon which the payment could have been timely made in accordance with the terms of the Plan and Section 409A, and if not paid, if the Participant takes further enforcement measures within one-hundred eighty (180) days after such latest date.

10.5           Governing Law . Subject to ERISA, the provisions of this Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of Maryland without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.
 
10.6           Notice.   Any notice, consent or demand required or permitted to be given under the provisions of this Plan shall be in writing and shall be signed by the party giving or making the same. If such notice, consent, or demand is mailed, it shall be sent by United States certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the addressee’s last known address as shown on the records of the Plan Sponsor. The date of such mailing shall be deemed the date of notice consent or demand.  Any person may change the address to which notice is to be sent by giving notice of the change of address in the manner aforesaid.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Page 16 of 20

 
 
 
 
10.7           Coordination with Other Benefits.   The benefits provided for a Participant and Participant’s Beneficiary under this Plan are in addition to any other benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program for employees of the Plan Sponsor. This Plan shall supplement and shall not supersede, modify, or amend any other such plan or program except as may otherwise be expressly provided herein.
 
10.8           Compliance.   A Participant shall have no right to receive payment with respect to the Participant’s Accrued Benefit until all legal and contractual obligations of the Plan Sponsor relating to establishment of the Plan and the making of such payments shall have been complied with in full.

10.9           Compliance with Section 409A and Authoritative Guidance. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, all provisions of this Plan, including but not limited to the definitions of terms, elections to defer, and distributions, shall be made in accordance with and shall comply with Section 409A and any authoritative guidance.  The Plan Sponsor will amend the terms of this Plan retroactively, if necessary, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A and any authoritative guidance.  No election made by a Participant hereunder, and no change made by a Participant to a previous election, shall be accepted by the Plan Sponsor if the Plan Sponsor determines that acceptance of such election or change could violate any of the requirements of Section 409A or the authoritative guidance.  This Plan and any accompanying forms shall be interpreted in accordance with, and incorporate the terms and conditions required by, Section 409A and the authoritative guidance, including, without limitation, any such Treasury Regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof.

10.10         Aggregation of Plans .   If the Plan Sponsor offers non-account balance deferred compensation plans in addition to the Plan, those plans, together with the Plan, shall be treated as a single plan to the extent required under Section 409A.

Burnett,   hereinafter referred to as the "Participant".

WITNESSETH
 
WHEREAS, it is the consensus of the Board that the Participant's services to the Plan Sponsor in the past have been of exceptional merit and have constituted an invaluable contribution to the general welfare of the Plan Sponsor bringing it to its present status of operating efficiency, and its present position in its field of activity; and,

WHEREAS, the experience of the Participant, the Participant’s knowledge of the affairs of the Plan Sponsor, the Participant’s reputation and contacts in the industry are so valuable that assurance of the Participant’s continued services is essential for the future growth and profits of the Plan Sponsor and it is in the best interests of the Plan Sponsor to arrange terms of continued employment for the Participant so as to reasonably assure the Participant’s remaining in the Plan Sponsor's employment during the Participant’s lifetime or until the age of retirement; and,

WHEREAS , it is the desire of the Plan Sponsor that the Participant’s services be retained as herein provided; and,

WHEREAS , the Participant is willing to continue in the employ of the Plan Sponsor provided the Plan Sponsor agrees to pay to the Participant’s beneficiaries certain benefits in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and,

WHEREAS , the Plan Sponsor intends that the Plan shall at all times be administered and interpreted in such a manner as to constitute an unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plan for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.

This Plan is intended to comply with IRC Section 409A as created under The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Jobs Act of 2004”).

Page 6 of 20

 
 
 
 
3.9             Subsequent Changes in the Time or Form of Payment. If permitted by the Plan Sponsor, a Participant may elect to change the time or form of payments (collectively, “payment elections”), provided the following conditions are met:

(i)   Such change will not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the new payment election is made and approved by the Plan Administrator;

(ii)           If the change of payment election relates to a payment based on Separation from Service, or if the payment is at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule, the change of payment election must result in payment being deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been paid (or in the case of installment payments, which are treated as a single payment, five (5) years from the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid);

(iii)           If the change of payment election relates to a payment at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule, the Participant or Plan Sponsor must make the change of payment election not less than twelve (12) months before the date the payment is scheduled to be paid (or in the case of installment payments, which are treated as a single payment, twelve (12) months before the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid).

3.10             Delay in Payment by Plan Sponsor.
 
(a)           A payment may be delayed to a date after the designated payment date under any of the circumstances described below, and the provision will not fail to meet the requirements of establishing a permissible payment event. The delay in the payment will not constitute a subsequent deferral election, so long as the Plan Sponsor treats all payments to similarly situated Participants on a reasonably consistent basis.

(i)            Payments subject to Section 162(m). A payment may be delayed to the extent that the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates that if the payment were made as scheduled, the Plan Sponsor’s deduction with respect to such payment would not be permitted due to the application of Code §162(m). If a payment is delayed, such payment must be made either:
 
 
           (1) during the Participant’s first Taxable Year in which the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates, or should reasonably anticipate, that if the payment is made during such year, the deduction of such payment will not be barred by application of Code §162(m) or,

           (2)  during the period beginning with the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service and ending on the later of the last day of the Taxable Year of the Plan Sponsor in which the Participant separates from service or the 15 th day of the third month following the Participant’s Separation from Service.  Where any scheduled payment to a specific Participant in the Plan Sponsor’s Taxable Year is delayed in accordance with this Article, the delay in payment will be treated as a subsequent deferral election unless all scheduled payments to the Participant that could be delayed in accordance with this Article are also delayed. Where the payment is delayed to a date on or after the Participant’s Separation from Service, the payment will be considered a payment upon a Separation from Service for purposes of the rules under Treasury Regulations §1.409A-3(i)(2) (payments to specified employees upon a separation from service) and, the 6 month delay rule will apply for Specified Employees.

(ii)            Payments that would violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law. A payment may be delayed where the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law provided that the payment is made at the earliest date at which the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation. The making of a payment that would cause inclusion in gross income or the application of any penalty provision or other provision of the Internal Revenue Code is not treated as a violation of applicable law.
 
 
 
 
Page 7 of 20

 
 

 
(iii)            Other events and conditions. The Plan Sponsor may delay a payment upon such other events and conditions as the Commissioner of the IRS may prescribe.

(iv)  Not withstanding the above, a payment may be delayed in accordance with Code section 409A where the payment would jeopardize the ability of the Plan Sponsor to continue as a going concern.

(b)            Treatment of Payment as Made on Designated Payment Date. Each payment under this Plan is deemed made on the required payment date even if the payment is made after such date, provided the payment is made by the latest of: (i) the end of the calendar year in which the payment is due; (ii) the 15th day of the third calendar month following the payment due date; (iii) in case the Plan Sponsor cannot calculate the payment amount on account of administrative impracticality which is beyond the Participant's control (or the control of the Participant's estate), in the first calendar year in which payment is practicable; (iv) in case the Plan Sponsor does not have sufficient funds to make the payment without jeopardizing the Plan Sponsor’s solvency, in the first calendar year in which the Plan Sponsor’s funds are sufficient to make the payment.

3.11           Unsecured General Creditor Status of Participant:
 
(a)           Payment to the Participant or any Beneficiary hereunder shall be made from assets which shall continue, for all purposes, to be part of the general, unrestricted assets of the Plan Sponsor and no person shall have any interest in any such asset by virtue of any provision of this Plan. The Plan Sponsor’s obligation hereunder shall be an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.  To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Plan Sponsor under the provisions hereof, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Plan Sponsor and no such person shall have or acquire any legal or equitable right, interest, or claim in or to any property or assets of the Plan Sponsor.
 
(b)           In the event that the Plan Sponsor purchases an insurance policy or policies insuring the life of a Participant or employee, to allow the Plan Sponsor to recover or meet the cost of providing benefits, in whole or in part, hereunder, no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any rights whatsoever in said policy or the proceeds therefrom. The Plan Sponsor or the Trustee of the Trust (if any) shall be the primary owner and beneficiary of any such insurance policy or property and shall possess and may exercise all incidents of ownership therein. No insurance policy with regard to any director, “highly compensated employee”, or “highly compensated individual” as defined in IRS Section 101(j) shall be acquired before satisfying the Section 101(j) “Notice and Consent” requirements.
 
(c)           In the event that the Plan Sponsor purchases an insurance policy or policies on the life of a Participant as provided for above, then all of such policies shall be subject to the claims of the creditors of the Plan Sponsor.
 
(d)           If the Plan Sponsor chooses to obtain insurance on the life of a Participant in connection with its obligations under this Plan, the Participant hereby agrees to take such physical examinations and to truthfully and completely supply such information as may be required by the Plan Sponsor or the insurance company designated by the Plan Sponsor.

3.12             Facility of Payment .   If a distribution is to be made to a minor, or to a person who is otherwise incompetent, then the Plan Administrator may make such distribution: (i) to the legal guardian, or if none, to a parent of a minor payee with whom the payee maintains residence; or (ii) to the conservator or administrator or, if none, to the person having custody of an incompetent payee. Any such distribution shall fully discharge the Plan Sponsor and the Plan Administrator from further liability on account thereof.
 
3.13             Excise Tax Limitation.   In the event that any payment or benefit (within the meaning of Code §280G(b)(2) of the Code) to the Participant or for the Participant’s benefit paid or payable or distributed or distributable (including, but not limited to, the acceleration of the time for the vesting or payment of such benefit or payment) pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, the Participant’s employment with the Plan Sponsor or any of its Affiliates or a Change in Control within the meaning of Code §280G of the Code (a "Payment" or "Payments"), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code §4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then the Payments shall be increased in an amount necessary to provide for the payment of the excise tax imposed by Code § 4999 (the "Section 4999 Limit").  Any payment made to the Participant under this Section 3.13 shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant remits the related taxes.

ARTICLE 5
BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

5.1             Designation of Beneficiaries.

(a)            The Participant may designate any person or persons (who may be named contingently or successively) to receive any benefits payable under the Plan upon the Participant’s death, and the designation may be changed from time to time by the Participant by filing a new designation. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the Participant and shall be in the form prescribed by the Administrator, and shall be effective only when filed in writing with the Administrator during the Participant’s lifetime.

(b)            In the absence of a valid Beneficiary designation, or if, at the time any benefit payment is due to a Beneficiary, there is no living Beneficiary validly named by the Participant, the Plan Sponsor shall pay the benefit payment to the Participant’s spouse, if then living, and if the spouse is not then living to the Participant’s then living descendants, if any, per stirpes, and if there are no living descendants, to the Participant’s estate. In determining the existence or identity of anyone entitled to a benefit payment, the Plan Sponsor may rely conclusively upon information supplied by the Participant’s personal representative, executor, or administrator.

(c)            If a question arises as to the existence or identity of anyone entitled to receive a death benefit payment under the Plan, or if a dispute arises with respect to any death benefit payment under the Plan, the Plan Sponsor may distribute the payment to the Participant’s estate without liability for any tax or other consequences, or may take any other action which the Plan Sponsor deems to be appropriate.

5.2             Information to be Furnished by Participants and Beneficiaries; Inability to Locate Participants or Beneficiaries.   Any communication, statement, or notice addressed to the Participant or to a Beneficiary at his or her last post office address as shown on the Plan Sponsor’s records shall be binding on the Participant or Beneficiary for all purposes of this Plan. The Plan Sponsor shall not be obligated to search for any Participant or Beneficiary beyond the sending of a registered letter to the last known address.


ARTICLE 6
ADMINISTRATION

6.1             Administrator Duties. The Administrator shall be responsible for the management, operation, and administration of the Plan. The Administrator shall act at meetings by affirmative vote of a majority of its members. Any action permitted to be taken at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if, prior to such action, a unanimous written consent to the action is signed by all members and such written consent is filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Administrator, provided, however that no member may vote or act upon any matter which relates solely to the Participant. The chair, or any other member or members of the Administrator designated by the chair, may execute any certificate or other written direction on behalf of the Administrator. When making a determination or calculation, the Administrator shall be entitled to rely on information furnished by the Participant or the Plan Sponsor. No provision of this Plan shall be construed as imposing on the Administrator any fiduciary duty under ERISA or other law, or any duty similar to any fiduciary duty under ERISA or other law.

6.2             Administrator Authority. The Administrator shall enforce this Plan in accordance with its terms, shall be charged with the general administration of this Plan, and shall have all powers necessary to accomplish its purposes, including, but not by way of limitation, the following:

6.4             Compensation, Expenses, and Indemnity. The Administrator shall serve without compensation for services rendered hereunder. The Administrator is authorized at the expense of the Plan Sponsor to employ such legal counsel and/or Plan record keeper as it may deem advisable to assist in the performance of its duties hereunder.

ARTICLE 7
CLAIMS PROCEDURE

7.1             Claims Procedures .  This Section 7.1 is based on final regulations issued by the Department of Labor and published in the Federal Register on November 21, 2000 and codified at section 2560.503 1 of the Department of Labor Regulations.  If any provision of this Section 8.4 conflicts with the requirements of those regulations, the requirements of those regulations will prevail.
 
(a)            Initial Claim .  A Participant or Beneficiary who believes he or she is entitled to any Benefit (a "Claimant") under this Plan may file a claim with the Administrator.  The Administrator will review the claim itself or appoint another individual or entity to review the claim.
 
 
 
 
Page 11 of 20

 
 
 
(i)            Benefit Claims that do not Require a Determination of Disability .  If the claim is for a benefit other than a disability benefit, the Claimant will be notified within ninety (90) days after the claim is filed whether the claim is allowed or denied, unless the Claimant receives written notice from the Administrator or appointee of the Administrator before the end of the ninety (90) day period stating that special circumstances require an extension of the time for decision, such extension not to extend beyond the day which is one hundred eighty (180) days after the day the claim is filed.
 
(ii)            Disability Benefit Claims .  In the case of a benefits claim that requires a determination by the Plan Administrator of a Participant’s disability status, the Plan Administrator will notify the Claimant of the Plan’s adverse benefit determination within a reasonable period of time, but not later than forty-five (45) days after receipt of the claim.  If, due to matters beyond the control of the Plan, the Plan Administrator needs additional time to process a claim, the Claimant will be notified, within forty-five (45) days after the Plan Administrator receives the claim, of those circumstances and of when the Plan Administrator expects to make its decision but not beyond seventy-five (75) days.  If, prior to the end of the extension period, due to matters beyond the control of the Plan, a decision cannot be rendered within that extension period, the period for making the determination may be extended for up to one hundred five (105) days, provided that the Plan Administrator notifies the Claimant of the circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the Plan expects to render a decision.  The extension notice will specifically explain the standards on which entitlement to a disability benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim and the additional information needed from the Claimant to resolve those issues, and the Claimant will be afforded at least forty-five (45) days within which to provide the specified information.
 
(iii)            Manner and Content of Denial of Initial Claims .  If the Plan Administrator denies a claim, it must provide to the Claimant, in writing or by electronic communication:
 
(A)           The specific reasons for the denial;
 
(B)           A reference to the Plan provision or insurance contract provision upon which the denial is based;
 
(C)           A description of any additional information or material that the Claimant must provide in order to perfect the claim;
 
(D)           An explanation of why such additional material or information is necessary;
 
(E)           Notice that the Claimant has a right to request a review of the claim denial and information on the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to request a review of the claim denial; and
 
(F)           A statement of the participant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA section 502(a) following a denial on review of the initial denial.
 
In addition, in the case of a denial of disability benefits on the basis of the Plan Administrator’s independent determination of the Participant’s disability status, the Plan Administrator will provide a copy of any rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion relied upon in making the adverse determination (or a statement that the same will be provided upon request by the Claimant and without charge).
 
(b)            Review Procedures .
 
(i)            Benefit Claims that do not Require a Determination of Disability .  Except for claims requiring an independent determination of a Participant’s disability status, a request for review of a denied claim must be made in writing to the Plan Administrator within sixty (60) days after receiving notice of denial.  The decision upon review will be made within sixty (60) days after the Plan Administrator's receipt of a request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision will be rendered not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of a request for review.  A notice of such an extension must be provided to the Claimant within the initial sixty (60) day period and must explain the special circumstances and provide an expected date of decision.
 
 
 
 
Page 12 of 20

 
 
 
The reviewer will afford the Claimant an opportunity to review and receive, without charge, all relevant documents, information and records and to submit issues and comments in writing to the Plan Administrator.  The reviewer will take into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim regardless of whether the information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.
 
(ii)            Disability Benefit Claims .  In addition to having the right to review documents and submit comments as described in (i) above, a Claimant whose claim for disability benefits requires an independent determination by the Plan Administrator of the Participant’s disability status has at least one hundred eighty (180) days following receipt of a notification of an adverse benefit determination within which to request a review of the initial determination.  In such cases, the review will meet the following requirements:
 
(A)           The Plan will provide a review that does not afford deference to the initial adverse benefit determination and that is conducted by an appropriate named fiduciary of the Plan who did not make the initial determination that is the subject of the appeal, nor is a subordinate of the individual who made the determination.
 
(B)           The appropriate named fiduciary of the Plan will consult with a health care professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment before making a decision on review of any adverse initial determination based in whole or in part on a medical judgment.  The professional engaged for purposes of a consultation in the preceding sentence will not be an individual who was consulted in connection with the initial determination that is the subject of the appeal or the subordinate of any such individual.
 
(C)           The Plan will identify to the Claimant the medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with the review, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit review determination.
 
(D)           The decision on review will be made within forty-five (45) days after the Plan Administrator's receipt of a request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision will be rendered not later than ninety (90) days after receipt of a request for review.  A notice of such an extension must be provided to the Claimant within the initial forty-five (45) day period and must explain the special circumstances and provide an expected date of decision.
 
(iii)            Manner and Content of Notice of Decision on Review .  Upon completion of its review of an adverse initial claim determination, the Plan Administrator will give the Claimant, in writing or by electronic notification, a notice containing:
 
(A)           its decision;
 
(B)           the specific reasons for the decision;
 
(C)           the relevant Plan provisions or insurance contract provisions on which its decision is based;
 
(D)           a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and without charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information in the Plan’s files which is relevant to the Claimant’s claim for benefits;
 
 
 
Page 13 of 20

 
 
 
(E)           a statement describing the Claimant’s right to bring an action for judicial review under ERISA section 502(a); and
 
(F)           if an internal rule, guideline, protocol or other similar criterion was relied upon in making the adverse determination on review, a statement that a copy of the rule, guideline, protocol or other similar criterion will be provided without charge to the Claimant upon request.
 
(c)            Calculation of Time Periods .  For purposes of the time periods specified in this Section, the period of time during which a benefit determination is required to be made begins at the time a claim is filed in accordance with the Plan procedures without regard to whether all the information necessary to make a decision accompanies the claim.  If a period of time is extended due to a Claimant's failure to submit all information necessary, the period for making the determination shall be tolled from the date the notification is sent to the Claimant until the date the Claimant responds.
 
(d)            Failure of Plan to Follow Procedures .  If the Plan fails to follow the claims procedures required by this Section 7.1, a Claimant shall be deemed to have exhausted the administrative remedies available under the Plan and shall be entitled to pursue any available remedy under ERISA section 502(a) on the basis that the Plan has failed to provide a reasonable claims procedure that would yield a decision on the merits of the claim.
 
(e)            Failure of Claimant to Follow Procedures .  A Claimant's compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1 is a mandatory prerequisite to the Claimant's right to commence any legal action with respect to any claim for benefits under the Plan.
 
7.2             Arbitration of Claims .   All claims or controversies arising out of or in connection with this Plan shall, subject to the initial review provided for in the foregoing provisions of this Article, be resolved through arbitration. Except as otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties, any arbitration shall be administered under and by the Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), in accordance with the JAMS procedures then in effect. The arbitration shall be held in the JAMS office nearest to where the Claimant is or was last employed by the Plan Sponsor or at a mutually agreeable location.
 

ARTICLE 8
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

8.1             Amendment. The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to amend this Plan at any time to comply with Section 409A or for any other purpose, provided that such amendment will not cause the Plan to violate the provisions of Section 409A. Except to the extent necessary to bring this Plan into compliance with Section 409A, no amendment or modification shall be effective to decrease the value or vested percentage of a Participant’s Accrued Benefit in existence at the time an amendment or modification is made to the Plan.

8.2             Plan Termination .  The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to terminate this Plan in accordance with one of the following, subject to the restrictions imposed by Section 409A and authoritative guidance:
 
(a)             Corporate Dissolution or Bankruptcy. This Plan may be terminated within twelve (12) months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code § 331, or with the approval of a Plan Sponsor bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 503(b)(1)(A), and distributions may then be made to the Participant provided that the amounts payable under this Plan are included in the Participants’ gross income in the latest of:

(i)             The calendar year in which the Plan termination occurs;
 
 
 
 
Page 14 of 20

 
 

 
(ii)             The calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or

(iii)            The first calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable.

(b)             Change in Control.   This Plan may be terminated within the thirty (30) days preceding or the twelve (12) months following a Change in Control. This Plan will then be treated as terminated only if all substantially similar arrangements sponsored by the Plan Sponsor are terminated so that all participants in all similar arrangements are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated arrangements within twelve (12) months of the date of termination of the arrangements.

(c)             Discretionary Termination . The Plan Sponsor may also terminate this Plan and make distributions provided that:

(i)            All plans sponsored by the Plan Sponsor that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangements under Treasury Regulations §1.409A-1(c) are terminated;
 
(ii)           No payments, other than payments that would be payable under the terms of this plan if the termination had not occurred, are made within twelve (12) months of this plan termination;
 
(iii)          All payments are made within twenty-four (24) months of this plan termination; and
 
(iv)            Neither the Plan Sponsor nor any of its affiliates adopts a new plan that would be aggregated with any terminated plan if the same Participant participated in both arrangements at any time within three (3) years following the date of termination of this Plan.

(v)            The termination does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Plan Sponsor.

 
ARTICLE 9
THE TRUST
 
9.1             Establishment of Trust .   The Plan Sponsor may establish a grantor trust (the “Trust”), of which the Plan Sponsor is the grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, subtitle A of the Code, to pay benefits under this Plan. If the Plan Sponsor establishes a Trust, all benefits payable under this Plan to a Participant shall be paid directly by the Plan Sponsor from the Trust. To the extent such benefits are not paid from the Trust, the benefits shall be paid from the general assets of the Plan Sponsor. The Trust, (if any), shall be a grantor trust which conforms to the terms of the model trust as described in IRS Revenue Procedure 92-64, I.R.B. 1992-33, as same may be amended or modified from time to time. If the Plan Sponsor establishes a Trust, the assets of the Trust will be subject to the claims of the Plan Sponsor’s creditors in the event of its insolvency. Except as may otherwise be provided under the Trust, the Plan Sponsor shall not be obligated to set aside, earmark, or escrow any funds or other assets to satisfy its obligations under this Plan, and the Participant and/or her designated Beneficiaries shall not have any property interest in any specific assets of the Plan Sponsor other than the unsecured right to receive payments from the Plan Sponsor, as provided in this Plan.
 
9.2             Interrelationship of the Plan and the Trust .   The provisions of this Plan shall govern the rights of a Participant to receive distributions pursuant to this Plan. The provisions of the Trust (if established) shall govern the rights of the Participant and the creditors of the Plan Sponsor to the assets transferred to the Trust. The Plan Sponsor and each Participant shall at all times remain liable to carry out its obligations under this Plan. The Plan Sponsor’s obligations under this Plan may be satisfied with Trust assets distributed pursuant to the terms of the Trust.
 
 
 
Page 15 of 20

 
 
 
9.3             Contribution to the Trust .   Amounts may be contributed by the Plan Sponsor to the Trust at the sole discretion of the Plan Sponsor.
 

ARTICLE 10
MISCELLANEOUS
 
10.1             Validity.   In case any provision of this Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein; except to the extent that Section 409A requires that this Section 10.1 be disregarded because it purports to nullify Plan terms that are not in compliance with Section 409A.
 
10.2             Nonassignability. Neither any Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage, or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate, alienate, or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part hereof, which are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to be, unassignable and non-transferable. No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment (except to the extent the Plan Sponsor may be required to garnish amounts from payments due under this Plan pursuant to applicable law), or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony, or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency, or be transferable to a spouse as a result of a property settlement or otherwise. If any Participant, Beneficiary, or successor in interest is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber transfer, hypothecate, alienate, or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amount, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, may cancel such distribution or payment (or any part thereof) to or for the benefit of such Participant, Beneficiary, or successor in interest in such manner as the Plan Administrator shall direct.

10.3             Not a Contract of Employment.   The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Plan Sponsor and the Participant. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Plan Sponsor as an employee or otherwise or to interfere with the right of the Plan Sponsor to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time.

10.4             Unclaimed Benefits. In the case that the Plan Administrator is unable to locate the Participant or Beneficiary to whom a benefit is payable, such Plan benefit shall be forfeited to the Plan Sponsor upon the Plan Administrator’s determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment may be made to a Participant, and that payment will be treated as made upon the date specified under the Plan, if the Participant provides notice to the Plan Sponsor within ninety (90) days of the latest date upon which the payment could have been timely made in accordance with the terms of the Plan and Section 409A, and if not paid, if the Participant takes further enforcement measures within one-hundred eighty (180) days after such latest date.

10.5             Governing Law . Subject to ERISA, the provisions of this Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of Maryland without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.
 
10.6             Notice.   Any notice, consent or demand required or permitted to be given under the provisions of this Plan shall be in writing and shall be signed by the party giving or making the same. If such notice, consent, or demand is mailed, it shall be sent by United States certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the addressee’s last known address as shown on the records of the Plan Sponsor. The date of such mailing shall be deemed the date of notice consent or demand.  Any person may change the address to which notice is to be sent by giving notice of the change of address in the manner aforesaid.
 
 
 
 
Page 16 of 20

 
 
 
10.7             Coordination with Other Benefits.   The benefits provided for a Participant and Participant’s Beneficiary under this Plan are in addition to any other benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program for employees of the Plan Sponsor. This Plan shall supplement and shall not supersede, modify, or amend any other such plan or program except as may otherwise be expressly provided herein.
 
10.8             Compliance.   A Participant shall have no right to receive payment with respect to the Participant’s Accrued Benefit until all legal and contractual obligations of the Plan Sponsor relating to establishment of the Plan and the making of such payments shall have been complied with in full.

10.9             Compliance with Section 409A and Authoritative Guidance. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, all provisions of this Plan, including but not limited to the definitions of terms, elections to defer, and distributions, shall be made in accordance with and shall comply with Section 409A and any authoritative guidance.  The Plan Sponsor will amend the terms of this Plan retroactively, if necessary, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A and any authoritative guidance.  No election made by a Participant hereunder, and no change made by a Participant to a previous election, shall be accepted by the Plan Sponsor if the Plan Sponsor determines that acceptance of such election or change could violate any of the requirements of Section 409A or the authoritative guidance.  This Plan and any accompanying forms shall be interpreted in accordance with, and incorporate the terms and conditions required by, Section 409A and the authoritative guidance, including, without limitation, any such Treasury Regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof.

10.10                        Aggregation of Plans .   If the Plan Sponsor offers non-account balance deferred compensation plans in addition to the Plan, those plans, together with the Plan, shall be treated as a single plan to the extent required under Section 409A.

OLD LINE BANK
SALARY CONTINUATION PLAN AGREEMENT
(2010 Plan)

 
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 26 th day of February, 2010, by and between Old Line Bank, a banking corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland, hereinafter referred to as the “Plan Sponsor”, and Christine M. Rush,   hereinafter referred to as the "Participant".

WITNESSETH
 
WHEREAS, it is the consensus of the Board that the Participant's services to the Plan Sponsor in the past have been of exceptional merit and have constituted an invaluable contribution to the general welfare of the Plan Sponsor bringing it to its present status of operating efficiency, and its present position in its field of activity; and,

WHEREAS, the experience of the Participant, the Participant’s knowledge of the affairs of the Plan Sponsor, the Participant’s reputation and contacts in the industry are so valuable that assurance of the Participant’s continued services is essential for the future growth and profits of the Plan Sponsor and it is in the best interests of the Plan Sponsor to arrange terms of continued employment for the Participant so as to reasonably assure the Participant’s remaining in the Plan Sponsor's employment during the Participant’s lifetime or until the age of retirement; and,

WHEREAS , it is the desire of the Plan Sponsor that the Participant’s services be retained as herein provided; and,

WHEREAS , the Participant is willing to continue in the employ of the Plan Sponsor provided the Plan Sponsor agrees to pay to the Participant’s beneficiaries certain benefits in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and,

WHEREAS , the Plan Sponsor intends that the Plan shall at all times be administered and interpreted in such a manner as to constitute an unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plan for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. This Plan is not intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment pursuant to IRC Section 401(a) of the Code or any successor section or statute. This Plan is intended to comply with IRC Section 409A as created under The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Jobs Act of 2004”). It is both anticipated and expected that the terms and provisions of this Plan may need to be amended in the future to assure continued compliance. The Plan Sponsor and the Participant acknowledge that fact and agree to take any and all steps necessary to operate the plan in “good faith” based on their current understanding of the regulations;
 
NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of services performed in the past and to be performed in the future as well as of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, it is agreed as follows:


ARTICLE 1

(i)             Such change will not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the new payment election is made and approved by the Plan Administrator;

(ii)           If the change of payment election relates to a payment based on Separation from Service, or if the payment is at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule, the change of payment election must result in payment being deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been paid (or in the case of installment payments, which are treated as a single payment, five (5) years from the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid);

(iii)          If the change of payment election relates to a payment at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule, the Participant or Plan Sponsor must make the change of payment election not less than twelve (12) months before the date the payment is scheduled to be paid (or in the case of installment payments, which are treated as a single payment, twelve (12) months before the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid).

3.10             Delay in Payment by Plan Sponsor.
 
 
(a)           A payment may be delayed to a date after the designated payment date under any of the circumstances described below, and the provision will not fail to meet the requirements of establishing a permissible payment event. The delay in the payment will not constitute a subsequent deferral election, so long as the Plan Sponsor treats all payments to similarly situated Participants on a reasonably consistent basis.

(i)            Payments subject to Section 162(m). A payment may be delayed to the extent that the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates that if the payment were made as scheduled, the Plan Sponsor’s deduction with respect to such payment would not be permitted due to the application of Code §162(m). If a payment is delayed, such payment must be made either:
 
           (1) during the Participant’s first Taxable Year in which the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates, or should reasonably anticipate, that if the payment is made during such year, the deduction of such payment will not be barred by application of Code §162(m) or,

           (2)  during the period beginning with the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service and ending on the later of the last day of the Taxable Year of the Plan Sponsor in which the Participant separates from service or the 15 th day of the third month following the Participant’s Separation from Service.  Where any scheduled payment to a specific Participant in the Plan Sponsor’s Taxable Year is delayed in accordance with this Article, the delay in payment will be treated as a subsequent deferral election unless all scheduled payments to the Participant that could be delayed in accordance with this Article are also delayed. Where the payment is delayed to a date on or after the Participant’s Separation from Service, the payment will be considered a payment upon a Separation from Service for purposes of the rules under Treasury Regulations §1.409A-3(i)(2) (payments to specified employees upon a separation from service) and, the 6 month delay rule will apply for Specified Employees.

(ii)            Payments that would violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law. A payment may be delayed where the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law provided that the payment is made at the earliest date at which the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation. The making of a payment that would cause inclusion in gross income or the application of any penalty provision or other provision of the Internal Revenue Code is not treated as a violation of applicable law.

(iii)            Other events and conditions. The Plan Sponsor may delay a payment upon such other events and conditions as the Commissioner of the IRS may prescribe.

(iv)  Not withstanding the above, a payment may be delayed in accordance with Code section 409A where the payment would jeopardize the ability of the Plan Sponsor to continue as a going concern.

(b)            Treatment of Payment as Made on Designated Payment Date. Each payment under this Plan is deemed made on the required payment date even if the payment is made after such date, provided the payment is made by the latest of: (i) the end of the calendar year in which the payment is due; (ii) the 15th day of the third calendar month following the payment due date; (iii) in case the Plan Sponsor cannot calculate the payment amount on account of administrative impracticality which is beyond the Participant's control (or the control of the Participant's estate), in the first calendar year in which payment is practicable; (iv) in case the Plan Sponsor does not have sufficient funds to make the payment without jeopardizing the Plan Sponsor’s solvency, in the first calendar year in which the Plan Sponsor’s funds are sufficient to make the payment.

3.11            Unsecured General Creditor Status of Participant:
 
(a)           Payment to the Participant or any Beneficiary hereunder shall be made from assets which shall continue, for all purposes, to be part of the general, unrestricted assets of the Plan Sponsor and no person shall have any interest in any such asset by virtue of any provision of this Plan. The Plan Sponsor’s obligation hereunder shall be an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.  To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Plan Sponsor under the provisions hereof, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Plan Sponsor and no such person shall have or acquire any legal or equitable right, interest, or claim in or to any property or assets of the Plan Sponsor.
 
(b)           In the event that the Plan Sponsor purchases an insurance policy or policies insuring the life of a Participant or employee, to allow the Plan Sponsor to recover or meet the cost of providing benefits, in whole or in part, hereunder, no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any rights whatsoever in said policy or the proceeds therefrom. The Plan Sponsor or the Trustee of the Trust (if any) shall be the primary owner and beneficiary of any such insurance policy or property and shall possess and may exercise all incidents of ownership therein. No insurance policy with regard to any director, “highly compensated employee”, or “highly compensated individual” as defined in IRS Section 101(j) shall be acquired before satisfying the Section 101(j) “Notice and Consent” requirements.
 
(c)           In the event that the Plan Sponsor purchases an insurance policy or policies on the life of a Participant as provided for above, then all of such policies shall be subject to the claims of the creditors of the Plan Sponsor.
 
(d)           If the Plan Sponsor chooses to obtain insurance on the life of a Participant in connection with its obligations under this Plan, the Participant hereby agrees to take such physical examinations and to truthfully and completely supply such information as may be required by the Plan Sponsor or the insurance company designated by the Plan Sponsor.

3.12             Facility of Payment .   If a distribution is to be made to a minor, or to a person who is otherwise incompetent, then the Plan Administrator may make such distribution: (i) to the legal guardian, or if none, to a parent of a minor payee with whom the payee maintains residence; or (ii) to the conservator or administrator or, if none, to the person having custody of an incompetent payee. Any such distribution shall fully discharge the Plan Sponsor and the Plan Administrator from further liability on account thereof.
 
3.13             Excise Tax Limitation.   In the event that any payment or benefit (within the meaning of Code §280G(b)(2) of the Code) to the Participant or for the Participant’s benefit paid or payable or distributed or distributable (including, but not limited to, the acceleration of the time for the vesting or payment of such benefit or payment) pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, the Participant’s employment with the Plan Sponsor or any of its Affiliates or a Change in Control within the meaning of Code §280G of the Code (a "Payment" or "Payments"), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code §4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then the Payments shall be increased in an amount necessary to provide for the payment of the excise tax imposed by Code § 4999 (the "Section 4999 Limit").  Any payment made to the Participant under this Section 3.13 shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant remits the related taxes.

ARTICLE 7
CLAIMS PROCEDURE

7.1             Claims Procedures .  This Section 7.1 is based on final regulations issued by the Department of Labor and published in the Federal Register on November 21, 2000 and codified at section 2560.503 1 of the Department of Labor Regulations.  If any provision of this Section 8.4 conflicts with the requirements of those regulations, the requirements of those regulations will prevail.
 
(a)            Initial Claim .  A Participant or Beneficiary who believes he or she is entitled to any Benefit (a "Claimant") under this Plan may file a claim with the Administrator.  The Administrator will review the claim itself or appoint another individual or entity to review the claim.
 
 
 
 
Page 11 of 20

 
 
 
(i)            Benefit Claims that do not Require a Determination of Disability .  If the claim is for a benefit other than a disability benefit, the Claimant will be notified within ninety (90) days after the claim is filed whether the claim is allowed or denied, unless the Claimant receives written notice from the Administrator or appointee of the Administrator before the end of the ninety (90) day period stating that special circumstances require an extension of the time for decision, such extension not to extend beyond the day which is one hundred eighty (180) days after the day the claim is filed.
 
(ii)            Disability Benefit Claims .  In the case of a benefits claim that requires a determination by the Plan Administrator of a Participant’s disability status, the Plan Administrator will notify the Claimant of the Plan’s adverse benefit determination within a reasonable period of time, but not later than forty-five (45) days after receipt of the claim.  If, due to matters beyond the control of the Plan, the Plan Administrator needs additional time to process a claim, the Claimant will be notified, within forty-five (45) days after the Plan Administrator receives the claim, of those circumstances and of when the Plan Administrator expects to make its decision but not beyond seventy-five (75) days.  If, prior to the end of the extension period, due to matters beyond the control of the Plan, a decision cannot be rendered within that extension period, the period for making the determination may be extended for up to one hundred five (105) days, provided that the Plan Administrator notifies the Claimant of the circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the Plan expects to render a decision.  The extension notice will specifically explain the standards on which entitlement to a disability benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim and the additional information needed from the Claimant to resolve those issues, and the Claimant will be afforded at least forty-five (45) days within which to provide the specified information.
 
(iii)            Manner and Content of Denial of Initial Claims .  If the Plan Administrator denies a claim, it must provide to the Claimant, in writing or by electronic communication:
 
(A)           The specific reasons for the denial;
 
(B)           A reference to the Plan provision or insurance contract provision upon which the denial is based;
 
(C)           A description of any additional information or material that the Claimant must provide in order to perfect the claim;
 
(D)           An explanation of why such additional material or information is necessary;
 
(E)           Notice that the Claimant has a right to request a review of the claim denial and information on the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to request a review of the claim denial; and
 
(F)           A statement of the participant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA section 502(a) following a denial on review of the initial denial.
 
In addition, in the case of a denial of disability benefits on the basis of the Plan Administrator’s independent determination of the Participant’s disability status, the Plan Administrator will provide a copy of any rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion relied upon in making the adverse determination (or a statement that the same will be provided upon request by the Claimant and without charge).
 
(b)            Review Procedures .
 
(i)            Benefit Claims that do not Require a Determination of Disability .  Except for claims requiring an independent determination of a Participant’s disability status, a request for review of a denied claim must be made in writing to the Plan Administrator within sixty (60) days after receiving notice of denial.  The decision upon review will be made within sixty (60) days after the Plan Administrator's receipt of a request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision will be rendered not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of a request for review.  A notice of such an extension must be provided to the Claimant within the initial sixty (60) day period and must explain the special circumstances and provide an expected date of decision.
 
 
 
 
Page 12 of 20

 
 
 
The reviewer will afford the Claimant an opportunity to review and receive, without charge, all relevant documents, information and records and to submit issues and comments in writing to the Plan Administrator.  The reviewer will take into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim regardless of whether the information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.
 
(ii)            Disability Benefit Claims .  In addition to having the right to review documents and submit comments as described in (i) above, a Claimant whose claim for disability benefits requires an independent determination by the Plan Administrator of the Participant’s disability status has at least one hundred eighty (180) days following receipt of a notification of an adverse benefit determination within which to request a review of the initial determination.  In such cases, the review will meet the following requirements:
 
(A)           The Plan will provide a review that does not afford deference to the initial adverse benefit determination and that is conducted by an appropriate named fiduciary of the Plan who did not make the initial determination that is the subject of the appeal, nor is a subordinate of the individual who made the determination.
 
(B)           The appropriate named fiduciary of the Plan will consult with a health care professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment before making a decision on review of any adverse initial determination based in whole or in part on a medical judgment.  The professional engaged for purposes of a consultation in the preceding sentence will not be an individual who was consulted in connection with the initial determination that is the subject of the appeal or the subordinate of any such individual.
 
(C)           The Plan will identify to the Claimant the medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with the review, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit review determination.
 
(D)           The decision on review will be made within forty-five (45) days after the Plan Administrator's receipt of a request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision will be rendered not later than ninety (90) days after receipt of a request for review.  A notice of such an extension must be provided to the Claimant within the initial forty-five (45) day period and must explain the special circumstances and provide an expected date of decision.
 
(iii)            Manner and Content of Notice of Decision on Review .  Upon completion of its review of an adverse initial claim determination, the Plan Administrator will give the Claimant, in writing or by electronic notification, a notice containing:
 
(A)           its decision;
 
(B)           the specific reasons for the decision;
 
(C)           the relevant Plan provisions or insurance contract provisions on which its decision is based;
 
(D)           a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and without charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information in the Plan’s files which is relevant to the Claimant’s claim for benefits;
 
 
 
Page 13 of 20

 
 
 
(E)           a statement describing the Claimant’s right to bring an action for judicial review under ERISA section 502(a); and
 
(F)           if an internal rule, guideline, protocol or other similar criterion was relied upon in making the adverse determination on review, a statement that a copy of the rule, guideline, protocol or other similar criterion will be provided without charge to the Claimant upon request.
 
(c)            Calculation of Time Periods .  For purposes of the time periods specified in this Section, the period of time during which a benefit determination is required to be made begins at the time a claim is filed in accordance with the Plan procedures without regard to whether all the information necessary to make a decision accompanies the claim.  If a period of time is extended due to a Claimant's failure to submit all information necessary, the period for making the determination shall be tolled from the date the notification is sent to the Claimant until the date the Claimant responds.
 
(d)            Failure of Plan to Follow Procedures .  If the Plan fails to follow the claims procedures required by this Section 7.1, a Claimant shall be deemed to have exhausted the administrative remedies available under the Plan and shall be entitled to pursue any available remedy under ERISA section 502(a) on the basis that the Plan has failed to provide a reasonable claims procedure that would yield a decision on the merits of the claim.
 
(e)            Failure of Claimant to Follow Procedures .  A Claimant's compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1 is a mandatory prerequisite to the Claimant's right to commence any legal action with respect to any claim for benefits under the Plan.
 
7.2             Arbitration of Claims .   All claims or controversies arising out of or in connection with this Plan shall, subject to the initial review provided for in the foregoing provisions of this Article, be resolved through arbitration. Except as otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties, any arbitration shall be administered under and by the Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), in accordance with the JAMS procedures then in effect. The arbitration shall be held in the JAMS office nearest to where the Claimant is or was last employed by the Plan Sponsor or at a mutually agreeable location.
 

ARTICLE 8
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

8.1             Amendment. The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to amend this Plan at any time to comply with Section 409A or for any other purpose, provided that such amendment will not cause the Plan to violate the provisions of Section 409A. Except to the extent necessary to bring this Plan into compliance with Section 409A, no amendment or modification shall be effective to decrease the value or vested percentage of a Participant’s Accrued Benefit in existence at the time an amendment or modification is made to the Plan.

8.2             Plan Termination .  The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to terminate this Plan in accordance with one of the following, subject to the restrictions imposed by Section 409A and authoritative guidance:
 
 
(a)         Corporate Dissolution or Bankruptcy. This Plan may be terminated within twelve (12) months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code § 331, or with the approval of a Plan Sponsor bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 503(b)(1)(A), and distributions may then be made to the Participant provided that the amounts payable under this Plan are included in the Participants’ gross income in the latest of:

(i)  
The calendar year in which the Plan termination occurs;
 
 
 
Page 14 of 20

 
 

 
(ii)  
The calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or

(iii)  
The first calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable.

(b)          Change in Control.   This Plan may be terminated within the thirty (30) days preceding or the twelve (12) months following a Change in Control. This Plan will then be treated as terminated only if all substantially similar arrangements sponsored by the Plan Sponsor are terminated so that all participants in all similar arrangements are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated arrangements within twelve (12) months of the date of termination of the arrangements.

(c)           Discretionary Termination . The Plan Sponsor may also terminate this Plan and make distributions provided that:

(i) All plans sponsored by the Plan Sponsor that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangements under Treasury Regulations §1.409A-1(c) are terminated;
 
(ii) No payments, other than payments that would be payable under the terms of this plan if the termination had not occurred, are made within twelve (12) months of this plan termination;
 
(iii) All payments are made within twenty-four (24) months of this plan termination; and
 
(iv)      Neither the Plan Sponsor nor any of its affiliates adopts a new plan that would be aggregated with any terminated plan if the same Participant participated in both arrangements at any time within three (3) years following the date of termination of this Plan.

(v)        The termination does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Plan Sponsor.

 
ARTICLE 9
THE TRUST
 
9.1             Establishment of Trust .   The Plan Sponsor may establish a grantor trust (the “Trust”), of which the Plan Sponsor is the grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, subtitle A of the Code, to pay benefits under this Plan. If the Plan Sponsor establishes a Trust, all benefits payable under this Plan to a Participant shall be paid directly by the Plan Sponsor from the Trust. To the extent such benefits are not paid from the Trust, the benefits shall be paid from the general assets of the Plan Sponsor. The Trust, (if any), shall be a grantor trust which conforms to the terms of the model trust as described in IRS Revenue Procedure 92-64, I.R.B. 1992-33, as same may be amended or modified from time to time. If the Plan Sponsor establishes a Trust, the assets of the Trust will be subject to the claims of the Plan Sponsor’s creditors in the event of its insolvency. Except as may otherwise be provided under the Trust, the Plan Sponsor shall not be obligated to set aside, earmark, or escrow any funds or other assets to satisfy its obligations under this Plan, and the Participant and/or her designated Beneficiaries shall not have any property interest in any specific assets of the Plan Sponsor other than the unsecured right to receive payments from the Plan Sponsor, as provided in this Plan.
 
9.2             Interrelationship of the Plan and the Trust .   The provisions of this Plan shall govern the rights of a Participant to receive distributions pursuant to this Plan. The provisions of the Trust (if established) shall govern the rights of the Participant and the creditors of the Plan Sponsor to the assets transferred to the Trust. The Plan Sponsor and each Participant shall at all times remain liable to carry out its obligations under this Plan. The Plan Sponsor’s obligations under this Plan may be satisfied with Trust assets distributed pursuant to the terms of the Trust.
 
 
 
 
 
Page 15 of 20

 
 
 
9.3             Contribution to the Trust .   Amounts may be contributed by the Plan Sponsor to the Trust at the sole discretion of the Plan Sponsor.
 

ARTICLE 10
MISCELLANEOUS
 
10.1   Validity.   In case any provision of this Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein; except to the extent that Section 409A requires that this Section 10.1 be disregarded because it purports to nullify Plan terms that are not in compliance with Section 409A.
 
10.2   Nonassignability. Neither any Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage, or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate, alienate, or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part hereof, which are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to be, unassignable and non-transferable. No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment (except to the extent the Plan Sponsor may be required to garnish amounts from payments due under this Plan pursuant to applicable law), or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony, or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency, or be transferable to a spouse as a result of a property settlement or otherwise. If any Participant, Beneficiary, or successor in interest is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber transfer, hypothecate, alienate, or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amount, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, may cancel such distribution or payment (or any part thereof) to or for the benefit of such Participant, Beneficiary, or successor in interest in such manner as the Plan Administrator shall direct.

10.3      Not a Contract of Employment.   The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Plan Sponsor and the Participant. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Plan Sponsor as an employee or otherwise or to interfere with the right of the Plan Sponsor to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time.

10.4    Unclaimed Benefits. In the case that the Plan Administrator is unable to locate the Participant or Beneficiary to whom a benefit is payable, such Plan benefit shall be forfeited to the Plan Sponsor upon the Plan Administrator’s determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment may be made to a Participant, and that payment will be treated as made upon the date specified under the Plan, if the Participant provides notice to the Plan Sponsor within ninety (90) days of the latest date upon which the payment could have been timely made in accordance with the terms of the Plan and Section 409A, and if not paid, if the Participant takes further enforcement measures within one-hundred eighty (180) days after such latest date.

10.5      Governing Law . Subject to ERISA, the provisions of this Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of Maryland without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.
 
10.6      Notice.   Any notice, consent or demand required or permitted to be given under the provisions of this Plan shall be in writing and shall be signed by the party giving or making the same. If such notice, consent, or demand is mailed, it shall be sent by United States certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the addressee’s last known address as shown on the records of the Plan Sponsor. The date of such mailing shall be deemed the date of notice consent or demand.  Any person may change the address to which notice is to be sent by giving notice of the change of address in the manner aforesaid.
 
 
 
 
Page 16 of 20

 
 
 
10.7      Coordination with Other Benefits.   The benefits provided for a Participant and Participant’s Beneficiary under this Plan are in addition to any other benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program for employees of the Plan Sponsor. This Plan shall supplement and shall not supersede, modify, or amend any other such plan or program except as may otherwise be expressly provided herein.
 
10.8      Compliance.   A Participant shall have no right to receive payment with respect to the Participant’s Accrued Benefit until all legal and contractual obligations of the Plan Sponsor relating to establishment of the Plan and the making of such payments shall have been complied with in full.

10.9      Compliance with Section 409A and Authoritative Guidance. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, all provisions of this Plan, including but not limited to the definitions of terms, elections to defer, and distributions, shall be made in accordance with and shall comply with Section 409A and any authoritative guidance.  The Plan Sponsor will amend the terms of this Plan retroactively, if necessary, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A and any authoritative guidance.  No election made by a Participant hereunder, and no change made by a Participant to a previous election, shall be accepted by the Plan Sponsor if the Plan Sponsor determines that acceptance of such election or change could violate any of the requirements of Section 409A or the authoritative guidance.  This Plan and any accompanying forms shall be interpreted in accordance with, and incorporate the terms and conditions required by, Section 409A and the authoritative guidance, including, without limitation, any such Treasury Regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof.

10.10    Aggregation of Plans .   If the Plan Sponsor offers non-account balance deferred compensation plans in addition to the Plan, those plans, together with the Plan, shall be treated as a single plan to the extent required under Section 409A.
