     The foregoing financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion
of Management, all adjustments (comprising only normal recurring accruals)
necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have
been included. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and accompanying notes included in Sandy Spring Bancorp's 1995 Annual
Report to Shareholders. The results shown in this interim report are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year 1996.

     The accounting and reporting policies of Sandy Spring Bancorp conform to
generally accepted accounting principles and to general practice within the
banking industry. Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts previously
reported to conform with current classifications.

     Consolidation has resulted in the elimination of all significant
intercompany accounts and transactions.

NOTE 2 - MERGER AGREEMENT
     On April 16, 1996, Sandy Spring Bancorp, Inc. ("Bancorp") and its wholly
owned subsidiary, Sandy Spring National Bank of Maryland, Olney, Maryland (the
"Bank") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement")
with Annapolis Bancshares, Inc. ("ABI") and its wholly owned state trust company
subsidiary, Bank of Annapolis, Annapolis, Maryland ("BOA"), pursuant to which:
shareholders of ABI would exchange each of their shares of ABI common stock, par
value $1.00 per share, for .62585 shares of Bancorp common stock, par value
$1.00 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances; ABI would be
merged with and into Bancorp; and BOA would be merged into the Bank. No
fractional shares of Bancorp common stock would be issued.

     The Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are subject to
numerous conditions, including regulatory approval and approval by the
shareholders of ABI. Assuming the satisfaction of all conditions to each party's
obligation to consummation, it is anticipated that the transactions contemplated
by the Agreement will become effective during 1996.

     At March 31, 1996, ABI had consolidated total assets of approximately
$82,000, representing approximately 10% of consolidated total assets of Bancorp.

NOTE 3 - PER SHARE DATA
  Net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding of 4,341,933 in 1996 and 4,285,918 in 1995.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
(Consolidated basis, dollars in thousands except per share data)


A. FINANCIAL CONDITION
     The Company's total assets were $818,586 at March 31, 1996, compared to
$794,319 at December 31, 1995, increasing $24,267 or 3.1% during the first
quarter of 1996. Earning assets increased $19,746 or 2.7% to $759,834 from
$740,088.

     Total loans rose 0.4% or $1,514 during the first quarter of 1996. Mortgage
refinancings by customers taking advantage of lower rates adversely affected
loan growth during the period. Of the major loan categories, commercial loans
grew $3,268 or 6.6%, and consumer loans rose $1,478 or 5.3% reflecting a
seasonal increase in student loans, while real estate mortgages decreased $1,916
or 0.6% and construction loans declined $1,178 or 3.8%.

     The investment portfolio, which consists of investments available-for-sale
and held-to-maturity as well as other equity securities, increased $22,328 or
7.8% during the three month period ended March 31, 1996. The substantial rise in
investments, expected to be temporary, reflects the placement of deposit growth
in the absence of a corresponding increase in loans. Federal funds sold, the
other category of earning assets carrying a significant balance, was down $8,207
or 33.8% over the same period.

     The increase in other assets in 1996 primarily reflects amounts receivable
on investment "calls" recorded in the portfolio as of quarter end.

     Total deposits were $696,091 at March 31, 1996, increasing $16,504 or 2.4%
from $679,587 at December 31, 1995. All major deposit categories advanced except
noninterest-bearing demand deposits, which declined slightly. The level of these
interest free deposits has been impacted by the greater use of cash management
by businesses through sweep accounts and repurchase agreements in place of
traditional checking accounts. Repurchase agreements related to cash management
services were largely responsible for the $4,453 or 15.0% increase in short-term
borrowings, while advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta caused the
$1,993 or 63.2% rise in long-term borrowings.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATIO SENSITIVITY
     The Company's liquidity position, considering both internal and external
sources available, exceeded anticipated short and long term funding needs at
March 31, 1996.

     In assessing liquidity, management considers operating requirements, the
seasonality of deposit flows, investment, loan and deposit maturities, expected
fundings of loans, deposit withdrawals, and the market values of available-for-
sale investments.

     Core deposits (total deposits less CD's of $100,000 or more) increased
$14,711 during the first quarter of 1996, while the funding of loan production
during the period required only $1,514.

     During the first quarter of 1996, the Bank recorded an asset sensitive
position cumulative to one year of $44,114 or 5.5% of total assets, indicating
the assumption of relatively low interest rate risk.

                                       5

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
     The Company recorded a total risk-based capital ratio of 18.30% at March
31, 1996, compared to 18.16% at December 31, 1995; a tier 1 risk-based capital
ratio of 17.05%, compared to 16.91%; and a capital leverage ratio of 10.00%,
compared to 9.89%. Capital adequacy, as measured by these ratios, was well above
regulatory requirements.

     Stockholders' equity totaled $79,918 (including a net unrealized loss of
$120 on investments available-for-sale) at March 31, 1996, an increase of 2.3%
from $78,091 (including a net unrealized gain of $444) at December 31, 1995.
Internal capital generation (net income less dividends) provided $1,730 in
additional equity during the first three months of 1996, representing an
annualized rate of 9.0% versus 8.5% for the year ended December 31, 1995.
External capital formation amounted to $660 for the quarter ended March 31,
1996, resulting from issuance of 8,468 shares under the Company's dividend
reinvestment plan and 35,450 shares through employee related programs including
24,430 shares issued from the exercise of stock options and 11,020 shares from
employee purchases through 401K benefit plans.

     First quarter dividends were $786 or $0.18 per share in 1996, compared to
$643 or $0.15 per share in 1995, resulting in payout ratios of 31.24% and
30.58%, respectively.

B. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995
     Net income for the first three months of the year rose $413 or 19.6% in
1996, to $2,516 ($0.58 per share) from year earlier $2,103 ($0.49 per share).
Net income equates to an annualized first quarter return on average assets of
1.27% in 1996, compared to 1.12% in 1995, and returns on average equity of
13.02% and 12.21%, respectively.

NET INTEREST INCOME
     First quarter net interest income was $7,664 in 1996, an increase of 8.7%
over $7,051 in 1995, reflecting a higher volume of average earning assets and a
13 basis point increase in net interest spread to 3.65% from 3.52%.

     First quarter tax-equivalent interest income increased $1,105 or 8.2% in
1996, compared to 1995. Average earning assets rose 4.5% over the period while
the average yield earned on those assets increased 20 basis points. Comparing
the first quarter of 1996 versus 1995, average loans grew 3.9% to $423,752
(56.5% of average earning assets) while experiencing a 33 basis point increase
in average yield. Commercial credits were responsible for 44.1% of the change,
while commercial construction lending contributed another 29.6%. Average total
securities decreased 3.2% to $293,485 (39.2% of average earning assets) and
recorded an 18 basis point increase in average yield.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
     First quarter interest expense increased $461 or 7.6%, as a net result of
4.8% higher average interest-bearing liabilities and a 7 basis point increase in
average rate paid.

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT
     The first quarter provision for credit losses was $150 in 1996, compared to
no provision in 1995. There were no net charge-offs recorded for the three month
period in 1996 versus net recoveries of $11 a year earlier. At March 31, 1996,
commercial construction and development credits, considered to be a higher risk
category of loans, comprised only 4.3% of total loans, while traditional home
construction and mortgages loans, generally considered to be a lower risk
category, amounted to 34.1%, both consistent with levels shown at December 31,
1995.

     Nonperforming assets, expressed as a percentage of total loans plus other
real estate owned, were 0.31% at March 31, 1996 versus 0.17% at December 31,
1995.

     At March 31, 1996, the allowance for credit losses was 1.42% of total loans
versus 1.39% at December 31, 1995. The allowance for credit losses covered
nonperforming loans approximately 4.5 times at March 31, 1996 and March 31,
1995. The allowance for credit losses covered nonperforming loans 8.6 times at
December 31, 1995.

NON-INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSES
     First quarter non-interest income rose $464 or 45.0% to $1,496 in 1996 from
$1,032 in 1995. The primary causes for the change were a $153 rise in gains on
mortgage sales, in part the result of greater corporate emphasis on mortgage
banking, $52 in increased fees for trust services and $50 derived from higher
fees realized on sales of mutual funds and tax deferred annuity products. The
Company also benefitted from a $155 nonrecurring gain on sale of other real
estate owned during the first quarter of 1996. Service charges on deposit
accounts rose largely because of higher return check charges.

     First quarter non-interest expenses increased $232 or 4.6% to $5,323 in
1996 from $5,091 in 1995. Salary increases related both to a larger staff and to
merit salary increases, together with the recognition of quarterly profit
sharing payments to employees in 1996 under a new incentive program, were
responsible for a large part of the overall rise in non-interest expenses. An
industrywide reduction in FDIC insurance premiums contributed to a $360 lower
cost in this category than for the same period in 1995.

     The ratio of net income to average full-time-equivalent (FTE) employees was
$8 for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 compared to $7 during the
first three months of 1995, as the number of average FTE employees rose to 307
from 290.

INCOME TAXES
     The first quarter effective tax rate was 31.8% in 1996 compared to 29.7% in
1995, reflecting primarily a lower level of tax exempt income in 1996 than in
1995.


                                ANNUAL MEETING

     The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Bancorp was held on April 17, 1996.
At the annual meeting, each of the nominees for director of Bancorp was elected
to a three-year term, and shareholders approved an amendment to Bancorp's
Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of capital stock
authorized to be issued from 6,000,000 shares to 15,000,000 shares.

* Those performing loans considered potential problem loans, as defined and
 identified by management, amounted to approximately $3,760 at March 31, 1996,
 compared to $3,867 at December 31, 1995. Although these are loans where known
 information about the borrowers' possible credit problems causes management to
 have doubts as to their ability to comply with the present loan repayment
 terms, most are well collateralized and are not believed to present significant
 risk of loss.
