         This Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on January 28, 1998 by
First Mariner Bancorp (the "Reporting Person" or "FMB") relates to the common
stock, par value $10.00 per share (the "Common Stock") of Glen Burnie Bancorp, a
Maryland corporation (the "Company"), which has its principal executive offices
at 101 Crain Highway, S.E., Glen Burnie, Maryland 21061.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person on January 28, 1998 is
amended and restated in its entirety as follows.


ITEM 4.            PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         FMB entered into the Agreement for the purpose of acquiring a
significant equity interest in the Company as an investment.

         FMB intends to periodically review its investment in the Company, and
may in the future acquire additional shares of the Company's Common Stock
through open market purchases, private transactions or otherwise. In addition,
FMB may determine to sell all or a portion of the shares of the Company's Common
Stock that it holds from time to time.

         FMB reserves the right to change its intention regarding its investment
in the Company's Common Stock and to take actions, presently undetermined, to
the extent permitted by applicable bank regulatory and other legal requirements,
that could result in or relate to the items enumerated in paragraphs (a) - (j)
of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

         The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FMB has stated his view
that FMB would ultimately like to merge with the Company and to take control of
the Company. However, no plan or proposal for such a merger or control
transaction has been offered to the Company or its shareholders or considered
by FMB's Board of Directors. In addition, FMB continues to reserve the right to
take actions which could result in or relate to any of the items enumerated in
paragraphs (a) - (i) of Item 4 of Schedle 13D, not just actions that could
result in a merger of FMB and the Company.

         In reaching any decisions regarding any of the foregoing, FMB will
consider various factors including, but not limited to, the Company's business
prospects, other developments concerning the Company, other business
opportunities available to FMB, developments concerning FMB and its business,
and general economic and regulatory conditions.
