Columbia Bancorp Reports a 34% Increase in Net Income for the Third Quarter of 2002 and Record Assets Totaling $991 Million

    COLUMBIA, Md., Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Columbia Bancorp (Nasdaq: CBMD), parent company of The Columbia Bank (the
"Bank"), today announced net income for the third quarter of 2002 of
$2.74 million ($.38 per diluted share) compared to $2.04 million ($.28 per
diluted share) for the same period in 2001, representing a 34.2% increase.
Return on average equity was 14.6% for the third quarter 2002 and 11.9% for
the corresponding period in 2001.  Return on average assets was 1.17% for the
third quarter 2002 and 1.00% for the same period in 2001.  Net income for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 totaled $7.39 million ($1.02 per diluted
share) compared to $6.14 million ($.85 per diluted share), representing an
increase of 20.4%.  Returns on average equity for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001 were 13.7% and 12.3%, respectively.  Returns on
average assets were 1.12% and 1.01%, respectively.
    Assets grew to a record level, totaling $990.9 million at September 30,
2002 and representing an increase of 20.1% since September 30, 2001.  Customer
funding sources, representing deposits plus other short-term borrowings from
customers, fueled the growth in assets, increasing 22.0% to $890.81 million
during the one-year period ending September 30, 2002.  Increased deposit
balances maintained by the Bank's customers engaged in mortgage banking
activities, namely title companies, contributed to the growth in customer
funding sources.  Also, during the period since September 30, 2001, total
loans grew 15.3% to $664.69 million.  Loan growth has been supported by the
strong real estate market, with real estate development and construction loans
increasing 21.1% to $193.80 million and commercial mortgages increasing 13.4%
to $111.68 million.  Commercial loan activity has also been strong, with
commercial loans increasing 31.5% to $196.31 million during the period.  Since
June 30, 2002, total loans declined modestly from $667.16 million.  While new
business activity during the third quarter remained consistent with that
during the first and second quarters of 2002, payoff activity, which included
the sale of the Bank's credit card portfolio, increased.  In addition,
advances on existing loans and lines of credit declined.  Stockholders equity
increased 7.6% to $74.39 million since September 30, 2001.
    Third quarter performance included an increase in operating income,
representing net interest income and non-interest income, from $9.89 million
in 2001 to $11.14 million in 2002, or 12.7%.  Net interest income grew
$1.11 million, or 13.3%, during the third quarter 2002 as compared to the
third quarter 2001, consistent with growth in average earning assets of 15.7%
during the same periods.  The net interest margin during the third quarter
2002 was 4.33%, declining slightly compared to 4.40% for the prior year
period.  Non-interest income improved $142,000 or 9.1% during the third
quarter 2002 when compared to the same period in 2001 primarily as a result of
increases in gains on the sales of mortgage loans of $135,000.  While
operating income grew 12.7% when comparing the third quarter 2002 to the same
period in 2001, non-interest expense increased only 1.5%, or $97,000,
reflecting continued leverage of the existing overhead structure and the
success of cost containment initiatives.
    Asset quality remained strong at September 30, 2002, with non-performing
assets and past-due loans declining from $5.77 million at September 30, 2001
to $1.37 million at September 30, 2002, a 76.2% decline.  As of September 30,
2002, non-performing assets represented only .14% of total assets.  Net
charge-offs during the three months ended September 30, 2002 totaled $61,000
or .04% of average loans compared to $190,000 or .13% during the same period
in 2001.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded
net recoveries of $15,000 or less than .01% of average loans as compared to
net charge-offs of $377,000 or .09% during the same period of 2001.  At
September 30, 2002, the allowance for credit losses totaled $8.84 million or
1.33% of loans.
