Dear Fellow Shareholder:

I am writing to you to correct a typographical, but serious, error contained on page 2 of our 2008 Annual Report, which we recently mailed to you.  This error also appeared in the Press Release which we issued on February 5, 2009 setting forth the results of our operations for the year ended December 31, 2008.

As reported on page 27 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC, and on page 13 of our 2008 Annual Report which we mailed to you, our total stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2008 decreased by $1,827,902, or 6.15% from the 2007 period.  This decrease was attributed to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, and the excess of the cash dividends paid and common stock shares repurchased and retired over the net income for 2008.  Unfortunately, due to an oversight, our Press Release and my letter and the following highlights contained in our 2008 Annual Report, erroneously stated that total stockholders’ equity increased by 6.15% from the 2007 period, when actually total stockholders’ equity decreased by 6.15% in 2008.

While the Bank of Glen Burnie has not been immune to the impact of the economic downturn in the United States during 2008, we are proud that we realized net income of $403,962 for 2008, saw continued growth in our loan portfolio, remained well capitalized and did not need to apply for any funding from the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”).

We apologize for the error and any confusion this may have caused, and look forward to greeting you at our Annual Meeting on May 14.

Very truly yours,

           /s/

Michael G. Livingston
President and CEO
