Columbia Bancorp Reports an Increase in First Quarter Earnings of 20%

    COLUMBIA, Md., April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Columbia Bancorp
(Nasdaq: CBMD), parent company of The Columbia Bank (collectively, the
"Company"), today announced net income for the first quarter 2004 of $2.98
million ($.40 per diluted share) compared to $2.49 million ($.34 per diluted
share) for the first quarter 2003, a 19.7% increase.  Return on average equity
increased from 12.92% during the first quarter 2003 to 13.75% during the first
quarter 2004.

    FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

    *  Loans increased $168.43 million, or 24.2%, since March 31, 2003.
       Since December 31, 2003, loans grew $29.27 million, representing an
       annualized rate of growth of 14.0%.

    *  Customer funding sources (deposits and other short-term borrowings
       from core customers) increased $85.10 million, or 9.7%, since the end
       of the first quarter 2003.  Since December 31, 2003, customer funding
       sources increased $75.12 million, representing an annualized rate of
       growth of 33.8%.

    *  Net interest income increased 12.8% during the first quarter 2004
       compared to the same period in 2003.

    *  Asset quality remained strong at March 31, 2004, with non-performing
       assets totaling only .14% of total assets.

    DETAILED REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
    Total assets were $1.08 billion at March 31, 2004, representing growth of
$90.23 million, or 9.1%, since March 31, 2003.  Loans, net of unearned income,
totaled $864.75 million compared to $696.32 million at March 31, 2003,
representing growth of $168.43 million or 24.2%.  Growth during the twelve
months since March 31, 2003 was reflective of the Company's well-balanced and
diversified loan portfolio.  Specifically, the Company's real estate
development and construction, commercial, and retail loan portfolios, grew
34.2%, 27.4% and 22.3%, respectively.  Customer funding sources increased 9.7%
to $963.05 million at March 31, 2004.  Noninterest bearing deposits increased
21.0% to $220.70 million.  Shareholders' equity climbed 12.1% to $87.93
million at March 31, 2004.
    Operating performance during the first quarter 2004 was driven primarily
by the Company's continued focus on core banking initiatives.  Specifically,
net interest income increased $1.21 million, or 12.8%, during the first
quarter 2004 compared to 2003.  An increase in average earning assets of
$105.45 million, or 11.9%, during the first quarter 2004 compared to the first
quarter 2003, offset by a modest decline in the net interest margin from 4.35%
to 4.34% for the same periods, contributed to the growth in net interest
income.  In addition, fees charged for banking services increased $67,000, or
7.1%, during 2004 as compared to 2003.  As anticipated, increased mortgage
interest rates resulted in a decline in mortgage origination activity and,
consequently, a decline in revenue on mortgage loan sales of $280,000, or
44.4%, compared to the first quarter 2003.  As a result, total noninterest
income declined from $1.93 million during the first quarter 2003 to $1.74
million in 2004.  Despite the pressure on noninterest income from lower
mortgage production, the Company successfully continued to leverage overhead
during the first quarter 2004 compared to 2003, as net operating income (net
interest income plus noninterest income) grew 8.9%, while overhead grew only
4.6%.  For the first quarter, the Company's efficiency ratio (FTE) was 59.35%
as compared to 62.52% for the same period in 2003.
    Asset quality remained very strong at March 31, 2004, with non-performing
assets totaling only $1.49 million, representing .14% of total assets.  Net
charge-offs for the first quarter 2004 totaled $97,000, or .05% of average
loans.  At March 31, 2004, the allowance for credit losses totaled $11.04
million, or 1.28% of loans, compared to $9.10 million, or 1.31% of loans, at
March 31, 2003.

in Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Regulation G and Item 10 of SEC

this press release is provided in the following schedules.  Non-GAAP
information presented by other companies may not be comparable to that

increase in non-performing assets, potential exposure to environmental laws,
federal and state bank laws and regulations, the highly competitive nature of
the banking industry, a loss of key personnel, changes in accounting standards
and other risks described in this filing and the Company's other filings with
