PAMRAPO BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
------------------------------------------

1. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
- ------------------------------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pamrapo Bancorp,
Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Pamrapo Savings Bank,
SLA (the "Bank") and Pamrapo Service Corp, Inc. The Company's business is
conducted principally through the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ------------------------

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and regulation S-X and do not include
information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial
condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. The
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003, are not
necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire
fiscal year.

3. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
- ------------------------------

Basic net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income per share is calculated
by adjusting the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
to include the effect of contracts or securities exercisable or which could be
converted into common stock, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method. There
were no potentially dilutive contracts or securities outstanding at either March
31, 2003 or 2002, or during the three months then ended.

On April 30, 2002, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split
which was paid on May 29, 2002 in the form of a stock dividend on the Company's
common stock to shareholders of record on May 15, 2002. Net income per common
share, dividends per common share, and weighted average number of common shares
outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split for the
three months ended March 31, 2002.

PAMRAPO BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------

Changes in Financial Condition

The Company's assets at March 31, 2003 totaled $604.2 million, which represents
an increase of $15.5 million or 2.6% as compared with $588.7 million at December
31, 2002.

Securities available for sale at March 31, 2003, decreased $197,000 or 4.3% to
$4.3 million when compared with $4.5 million at December 31, 2002. The decrease
during the three months ended March 31, 2003, resulted primarily from repayments
on securities available for sale of $213,000, sufficient to offset an increase
in net unrealized gain of $10,000 and purchases of $8,000.

Investment securities held to maturity at March 31, 2003, remained unchanged at
$7.1 million when compared with December 31, 2002. Mortgage-backed securities
held to maturity at March 31, 2003 increased $23.9 million or 16.4% to $170.0
million when compared with $146.1 million at December 31, 2002. During the three
months ended March 31, 2003, purchases of mortgage-backed securities held to
maturity amounted to $39.9 million, offset by repayments of $16.0 million.

Net loans amounted to $381.4 million at March 31, 2003, as compared to $389.9
million at December 31, 2002, which represents a decrease of $8.5 million or
2.2%. The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2003 resulted
primarily from principal repayments exceeding loan origination.

Foreclosed real estate remained unchanged at $155,000 at March 31, 2003 and
December 31, 2002, respectively.

Deposits at March 31, 2003 totaled $465.1 million as compared with $445.5
million at December 31, 2002, representing an increase of $19.6 million or 4.4%.

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") decreased $5.0 million or 5.9%
to $79.3 million at March 31, 2003, when compared to $84.3 million at December
31, 2002, due to repayments.

Stockholders' equity totaled $51.6 million and $50.8 million at March 31, 2003,
and December 31, 2002, respectively. The increase of $824,000 was primarily the
result of the net income for three months ended March 31, 2003, of $1.8 million,
partially offset by cash dividends paid of $1.0 million.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 and
2002

Net income decreased $84,000 or 4.4% to $1.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2003, compared with $1.9 million for the same 2002 period. The
decrease in net income during the 2003 period resulted from a decrease in total
interest income along with increases in non-interest expenses and income taxes
which were offset by an increase in non-interest income along with decreases in
interest expense and in provision for loan losses.

Interest income on loans decreased by $433,000 or 5.9% to $6.9 million during
the three months ended March 31, 2003, when compared with $7.4 million for the
same 2002 period. The decrease during the 2003 period resulted from a decrease
of fifty-five basis points in the yield earned on loans, which was partially
offset by an increase of $5.2 million or 1.4% in the average balance of loans
outstanding. Interest on mortgage-backed securities increased $64,000 or 3.1% to
$2.12 million during the three months ended March 31, 2003, when compared with
$2.06 million for the same 2002 period. The increase during the 2002 period
resulted from an increase of $26.2 million or 20.2% in the average balance of
mortgage-backed securities outstanding, which

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 and
2002 (Cont'd.)

was sufficient to offset a decrease of ninety-one basis points in the yield
earned on the mortgage-backed securities. Interest earned on investments and
other interest-earning assets increased by $109,000 or 60.9% to $288,000 during
the three months ended March 31, 2003, when compared to $179,000 during the same
2002 period primarily due to an increase of $15.1 million or 99.8% in the
average balance of such assets outstanding sufficient to offset a decrease of
ninety-three basis points in the yield earned on such portfolio.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $377,000 or 12.6% to $2.6 million during
the three months ended March 31, 2003, when compared to $3.0 million during the
same 2002 period. Such decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of
sixty-one basis points in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, which was
sufficient to offset an increase of $35.8 million or 9.2% in the average balance
of interest-bearing deposits. Interest expense on advances and other borrowed
money increased by $83,000 or 9.1% to $999,000 during the three months ended
March 31, 2003, when compared with $916,000 during the same 2002 period,
primarily due to an increase of $13.1 million or 18.5% in the average balance of
advances outstanding from the FHLB, sufficient to offset a forty-one basis point
decrease in the cost of advances and other borrowed money.

Net interest income increased $34,000 or 0.60% during the three months ended
March 31, 2003 when compared with the same 2002 period. Such increase was due to
a decrease in total interest expense of $294,000, sufficient to offset a
decrease in total interest income of $260,000. The Bank's net interest rate
spread decreased to 3.69% in 2003 from 3.91% in 2002. The decrease in the
interest rate spread resulted from a decrease of seventy-eight basis points in
the yield of interest-earning assets sufficient to offset fifty-five basis point
decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Bank provided $30,000
and $210,000, respectively, as a provision for loan losses. The allowance for
loan losses is based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan
portfolio and gives due consideration to the changes in general market
conditions and in the nature and volume of the Bank's loan activity. The Bank
intends to continue to provide for loan losses based on its periodic review of
the loan portfolio and general market conditions. At March 31, 2003 and 2002,
the Bank's non-performing loans, which were delinquent ninety days or more,
totaled $2.5 million or 0.41% of total assets and $3.5 million or 0.64% of total
assets, respectively. At March 31, 2003, $1.2 million of non-performing loans
were accruing interest and $1.3 million were on nonaccrual status. The
non-performing loans primarily consist of one-to-four family mortgage loans.
During the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Bank charged off
loans aggregating $7,000 and $63,000, respectively. The allowance for loan
losses amounted to $2.6 million at March 31, 2003, representing 0.67% of total
loans and 103.8% of loans delinquent ninety days or more, and $2.3 million at
March 31, 2002, representing 0.58% of total loans and 65.7% of loans delinquent
ninety days or more.

Non-interest income increased $43,000 or 8.1% to $573,000 during the three
months ended March 31, 2003, from $530,000 during the same 2002 period, which
resulted from an increase in miscellaneous income.

Non-interest expenses increased by $190,000 or 6.4% to $3.2 million during the
three months ended March 31, 2003, when compared with $3.0 million during the
same 2002 period. Salaries and employee benefits, equipment, advertising and
miscellaneous expenses increased $28,000, $77,000, $6,000 and $87,000,
respectively, which was sufficient to offset a decrease in net occupancy of
$8,000 during the 2003 period when compared with the same 2002 period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 and
2002 (Cont'd.)

Income taxes totaled $1.3 million and $1.1 million during the three months ended
March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase during the 2003 period
resulted from increases in pre-tax income and the state income tax rate from
3.0% to 9.0%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Bank is required by Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") regulations to
maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure the Bank's safe and sound operation. The
Bank's liquidity averaged 5.86% during the month of March 2003. The Bank adjusts
its liquidity levels in order to meet funding needs for deposit outflows,
payment of real estate taxes from escrow accounts on mortgage loans, repayment
of borrowings, when applicable, and loan funding commitments. The Bank also
adjusts its liquidity level as appropriate to meet its asset/liability
objectives.

The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayments
of loans and mortgage-backed securities principal, FHLB advances, maturities of
investment securities and funds provided from operations. While scheduled loan
and mortgage-backed securities amortization and maturing investment securities
are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flow and loan and
mortgage-backed securities prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest
rates, economic conditions and competition.

The Bank's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of
its operating, investing and financing activities.

Cash was generated by operating activities during the three months ended March
31, 2003 and 2002. The primary source of cash was net income. Cash dividends
paid during the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, amounted to $1.03
million and $966,000, respectively.

The primary sources of investing activity are lending and the purchase of
mortgage-backed securities. Net loans amounted to $381.4 million and $389.9
million at March 31, 2003, and December 31, 2002, respectively. Securities
available for sale totaled $4.3 million and $4.5 million at March 31, 2003 and
December 31, 2002, respectively. Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity
totaled $170.0 million and $146.1 million at March 31, 2003, and December 31,
2002. In addition to funding new loan production and mortgage-backed securities
purchases through operating and financing activities, such activities were
funded by principal repayments on existing loans and mortgage-backed securities.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business
management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments,
such as federal funds and interest-bearing deposits. If the Bank requires funds
beyond its ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with
the FHLB which provide an additional source of funds. At March 31, 2003,
advances from the FHLB amounted to $79.3 million.

The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its
current loan commitments. At March 31, 2003, the Bank had outstanding
commitments to originate loans of $10.3 million and to purchase mortgage-backed
securities of $5.0 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one
year or less at March 31, 2003, totaled $165.1 million. Management believes
that, based upon its experience and the Bank's deposit flow history, a
significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Cont'd.)

Under OTS regulations, three separate measurements of capital adequacy (the
"Capital Rule") are required. The Capital Rule requires each savings institution
to maintain tangible capital equal to at least 1.5% and core capital equal to at
least 4.0% of its adjusted total assets. The Capital Rule further requires each
savings institution to maintain total capital equal to at least 8.0% of its
risk-weighted assets.

The following table sets forth the Bank's capital position at March 31, 2003, as
compared to the minimum regulatory capital requirements (dollars in thousands):

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
---------------------------------------------------------

MANAGEMENT OF INTEREST RATE RISK. The ability to maximize net interest income is
largely dependent upon the achievement of a positive interest rate spread that
can be sustained during fluctuations in prevailing interest rates. Interest rate
sensitivity is a measure of the difference between amounts of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities which either reprice or mature within a
given period of time. The difference, or the interest rate repricing "gap",
provides an indication of the extent to which an institution's interest rate
spread will be affected by changes in interest rates. A gap is considered
positive when the amount of interest-rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of
interest-rate sensitive liabilities, and is considered negative when the amount
of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest-rate
sensitive assets. Generally, during a period of rising interest rates, a
negative gap within shorter maturities would adversely affect net interest
income, while a positive gap within shorter maturities would result in an
increase in net interest income, and during a period of falling interest rates,
a negative gap within shorter maturities would result in an increase in net
interest income while a positive gap within shorter maturities would result in a
decrease in net interest income.

Because the Bank's interest-bearing liabilities which mature or reprice within
short periods exceed its interest-earning assets with similar characteristics,
material and prolonged increases in interest rates generally would adversely
affect net interest income, while material and prolonged decreases in interest
rates generally would have a positive effect on net interest income.

The Bank's current investment strategy is to maintain an overall securities
portfolio that provides a source of liquidity and that contributes to the Bank's
overall profitability and asset mix within given quality and maturity
considerations. Securities classified as available for sale provide management
with the flexibility to make adjustments to the portfolio given changes in the
economic or interest rate environment, to fulfill unanticipated liquidity needs,
or to take advantage of alternative investment opportunities.

NET PORTFOLIO VALUE. The Bank's interest rate sensitivity is monitored by
management through the use of the OTS model which estimates the change in the
Bank's net portfolio value ("NPV") over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV
is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities, and
off-balance sheet contracts. The NPV ratio, under any interest rate scenario, is
defined as the NPV in that scenario divided by the market value of assets in the
same scenario. The OTS produces its analysis based upon data submitted on the
Bank's quarterly Thrift Financial Reports. The following table sets forth the
Bank's NPV as of December 31, 2002, the most recent date the Bank's NPV was
calculated by the OTS.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest
rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in NPV require the making of certain
assumptions which may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and
costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the NPV model
presented assumes that the composition of the Bank's interest sensitive assets
and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the
period being measured and also assumes that a particular change in interest
rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration
to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly,
although the NPV measurements and net interest income models provide an
indication of the Bank's interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in
time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise
forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on the Bank's net
interest income and will differ from actual results.
