NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated unaudited financial statements include the accounts of Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Pamrapo Savings Bank, S.L.A. (the Bank), Pamrapo Service Corporation, Inc. (the Corporation) and Pamrapo Investment Company, Inc. The Companys business is conducted principally through the Bank. As of April 30, 2009, the Corporation is no longer doing business. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include certain information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys 2008 Annual Report to Shareholders and incorporated by reference into the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the financial data included herein, November 9, 2009.
3. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) 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 convertible into common stock, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method. The company had no dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

When the fair value of a security is below its amortized cost, and depending on the length of time the condition exists and the extent the fair value is below amortized cost, additional analysis is performed to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment condition exists. Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are analyzed quarterly for possible other-than-temporary impairment. The analysis considers (i) whether we have the intent to sell our securities prior to recovery and/or maturity and (ii) whether it is more likely than not that we will have to sell our securities prior to recovery and/or maturity. Often, the information available to conduct these assessments is limited and rapidly changing, making estimates of fair value subject to judgment. If actual information or conditions are different than estimated, the extent of the impairment of the security may be different than previously estimated, which could have a material effect on the Companys consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Management does not believe that any of the unrealized losses at September 30, 2009 represent an other-than-temporary impairment. Unrealized losses on available for sale securities relate to mortgage-backed securities and a trust originated preferred security, that earn interest at a fixed rate. Such losses are due to changes in market interest rates while the above investments are at fixed rates. The unrealized losses on the held to maturity mortgage backed securities portfolio are due primarily to increases in market interest rates. The securities with unrealized losses are primarily at fixed interest rates. At September 30, 2009, unrealized losses included six mortgage-backed securities and one trust-originated preferred security.
Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB) stock, which represents a required investment in the common stock of a correspondent bank, is carried at cost and as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consists of common FHLB stock.

Management evaluates the FHLB stock for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 942-325-35 Accounting by Certain Entities (Including Entities With Trade Receivables) That Lend to or Finance the Activities of Others. Managements determination of whether this investment is impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of its cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of their cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLB.
Management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to the FHLB stock held by the Company as of September 30, 2009.
6. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.
FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported with little or no market activity).
An asset or liabilitys level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following valuation techniques were used to measure the fair value of assets in the tables above for additional information on the fair values of the Companys financial instruments and the related methods and assumptions, see the tabular information and narrative below.
Impaired Loans: Loans included in the above tables are those that are accounted for under FASB ASC 310, Receivables in which the Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loans collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The fair value consists of loan balances of $4,960,000 net of valuation allowances of $2,357,000 at September 30, 2009, and loan balances of $1,501,000, net of valuation allowances of $1,086,000 at December 31, 2008.
Foreclosed Real Estate: Fair value of foreclosed real estate was based on independent third party appraisals of the properties. These values were identified based on the sales prices of similar properties in the proximate vicinity.
The following is a summary of fair value versus the carrying value of financial instruments. For the Company and the Bank, as for most financial institutions, the bulk of its assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments. Many of the financial instruments lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Therefore, significant estimations and present value calculations were used for the purpose of this note. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of financial instruments in the table above:
Cash and cash equivalents and interest receivable and payable: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements for cash and cash equivalents and interest receivable and payable approximate their fair values.
Securities: The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) and held to maturity (carried at amortized cost) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. For certain securities which are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 3). In the absence of such evidence, managements best estimate is used. Managements best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level 3 investments. Internal cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) are used to support fair values of certain Level 3 investments.
FHLB stock: Due to its restricted nature, the estimated fair value of the Banks investment in FHLB stock is deemed equal to its carrying value, which represents the price at which it may be redeemed.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
6. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
Loans receivable: The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the statement of financial condition date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change to credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.
Deposit liabilities: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
Advances from FHLB: Fair value is estimated using rates currently offered for liabilities of similar remaining maturities, or when available, quoted market prices.
Commitments to extend credit: The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.
7. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities or on income or expense are considered to be critical accounting policies.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, amounts related to the Companys defined benefit pension plan and other-than-temporary impairment of investment and mortgage-backed securities. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment.
Management reviews the level of the allowance on a quarterly basis, at a minimum, and establishes the provision for loan losses based on the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency levels, loss experience, economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio. Since there has been no material shift in the composition of the loan portfolio, the level of the allowance for loan losses has changed primarily due to changes in the size of the loan portfolio and the level of nonperforming loans. We have allocated the allowance among categories of loan types as well as classification status at each period-end date. Assumptions and allocation percentages based on loan types and classification status have been consistently applied. Management regularly evaluates various risk factors related to the loan portfolio, such as type of loan, underlying collateral and payment status, and the corresponding allowance allocation percentages.
Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on estimates that are susceptible to change as a result of changes in economic conditions and other factors. In addition, the regulatory authorities, as an integral part of their examinations process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

7. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Our pension plan costs are calculated using actuarial concepts, as discussed within the requirements of FASB ASC 715 Compensation Retirement Benefits and FASB ASC 960 Plan Accounting Defined Benefit Pension Plan. Pension expense and the determination of our projected pension liability are based upon two critical assumptions: the discount rate and the expected return on plan assets. We evaluate each of these critical assumptions annually.
Other assumptions impact the determination of pension expense and the projected liability, including the primary employee demographics such as retirement patterns, employee turnover, mortality rates, and estimated employer compensation increases. These factors, along with the critical assumptions, are carefully reviewed by management each year in consultation with our pension plan consultants and actuaries.
Further information about our pension plan assumptions, the plans funded status, and other plan information is included in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companys 2008 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is filed as Exhibit 13 and incorporated by reference to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2008.
When the fair value of a security is below its amortized cost, and depending on the length of time the condition exists and the extent the fair value is below amortized cost, additional analysis is performed to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment condition exists. Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are analyzed quarterly for possible other-than-temporary impairment. The analysis considers (i) whether we have the intent to sell our securities prior to recovery and/or maturity and (ii) whether it is more likely than not that we will have to sell our securities prior to recovery and/or maturity. Often, the information available to conduct these assessments is limited and rapidly changing, making estimates of fair value subject to judgment. If actual information or conditions are different than estimated, the extent of the impairment of the security may be different than previously estimated, which could have a material effect on the Companys consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
8. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The following is a summary of recently issued authoritative pronouncements that could have an impact on the accounting, reporting, and/or disclosure of the consolidated financial information of the Company.
On July 1, 2009, the FASBs GAAP Codification became effective as the sole authoritative source of U.S. GAAP. This codification reorganizes current GAAP for non-governmental entities into a topical index to facilitate accounting research and to provide users with additional assurance that they have referenced all related literature pertaining to a given topic. Existing GAAP prior to the codification was not altered in compilation of the GAAP Codification, instead it takes thousands of individual pronouncements that currently comprise GAAP and reorganizes them into approximately 90 accounting Topics, displaying them in a consistent structure. Accounting literature included in the codification is referenced by Topic, Subtopic, Section, and Paragraph. The Paragraph level is the only level that contains substantive content. Citing particular content in the codification involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section, and Paragraph structure. FASB suggests that all citations begin with FASB ASC, where the ASC stands for Accounting Standards Codification. Changes to the ASC subsequent to June 30, 2009 are referred to as Accounting Standards Updates (ASU). The GAAP Codification encompasses all FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS), Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) statements, FASB Staff Positions (FSP), FASB Interpretations (FIN), FASB Derivative Implementation Guides (DIG), American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Positions (SOP), Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins (ARBs), along with the remaining body of GAAP effective as of June 30, 2009. Financial Statements issued for all interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 will need to reference accounting guidance embodied in the codification as opposed to referencing the previously authoritative pronouncements. The codification was in response to the June 2009 FASB issuance of SFAS No. 168, which replaces SFAS No. 162. Under the GAAP Codification, SFAS No. 168 translates to FASB ASC 105.

8. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)
In conjunction with the issuance of FASB ASC 105, the FASB issued its first Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-1, Topic 105Generally Accepted Accounting Principlesamendments based onStatement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which includes SFAS 168 in its entirety as a transition to the ASC. ASU 2009-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this Update did not have an effect on the amounts reported in the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. The Update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using a valuation technique that uses quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820. The amendments in the Update also clarify that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. Additionally, the amendments in the Update clarify that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price are required are level 1 fair value measurements.
The guidance provided by the Update is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after the issuance. The adoption of this Update is not expected to have an effect on the amounts reported in the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In September of 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent), which allows a company to measure the fair value of an asset that has no readily determinable fair market value on the basis of the investees net asset value per share as provided by the investee. This allowance assumes that the investee has calculated net asset value in accordance with the GAAP measurement principles of Topic 946 as of the reporting entitys measurement date. Examples of such investments include hedge funds, private equity funds, real estate funds and venture capital funds. The Update also provides guidance on how the investment should be classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the value for which the investment can be redeemed. The Update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this Update is not expected to have an effect on the amounts reported in the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In October of 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-15, Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing, which amends ASC Topic 470 and provides guidance for the accounting and reporting for own-share lending arrangements issued in contemplation of convertible debt issuance. At the date of issuance, a share-lending arrangement entered into on an entitys owned shares should be measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820 and recognized as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid in capital. Loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending agreement occurs. The Update also requires several disclosures including a description and the terms of the arrangement, in addition to the reason for entering into the arrangement. The effective dates for the Update are dependent upon the date the share-lending agreement was entered into and include retrospective application for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009. The Company has no plans to issue convertible debt. Therefore, the Update is not expected to have an effect on the amounts reported in the Companys consolidated financial statements.

8. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)
Other accounting Updates that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies are not expected to have a material effect on amounts reported in the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS 167). Under FASBs Codification at ASC 105-10-65-1-d, SFAS 167 will remain authoritative until integrated into the FASB Codification. SFAS 167 amends Interpretation 46(R) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprises variable interest give it a controlling financial interest in the variable interest entity. SFAS 167 is effective for all interim and annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an effect on the amounts reported in the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009 the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for the Transfer of Financial Assets an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. Under FASBs Codification at ASC 105-10-65-1-d, SFAS 166 will remain authoritative until integrated into the FASB Codification. SFAS 166 removes the concept of a special purpose entity (SPE) from Statement 140 and removes the exception of applying FASB Interpretation 46 Variable Interest Entities, to Variable Interest Entities that are SPEs. It limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a financial asset. SFAS 166 amends the requirements for the transfer of a financial asset to meet the requirements for sale accounting. The statement is effective for all interim and annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an effect on the amounts reported in the Companys consolidated financial statements.
9. MERGER AGREEMENT
On June 29, 2009, the Company and BCB Bancorp, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (BCB), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), pursuant to which Pamrapo will merge with and into BCB, with BCB as the surviving corporation. The Bank and BCB Community Bank, a New Jersey-chartered bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCB (BCB Bank), will also enter into a plan of bank merger that provides for the merger of the Bank with and into BCB Bank, with BCB Bank as the surviving institution. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, shareholders of Pamrapo will receive 1.0 share of BCB common stock for each share of the Companys common stock. In addition, all outstanding unexercised options to purchase the Companys common stock will be converted into options to purchase BCB common stock. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter, pending regulatory approvals, approval of the Merger Agreement by shareholders of both Pamrapo and BCB, and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
If the Merger Agreement is terminated by either the Company or BCB due to the following circumstances:
| after recommending that stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, the board of directors of either party withdraws, modifies or qualifies its recommendation in a manner adverse to the other party, or either party fails to call, give proper notice of, convene and hold its special meeting; |
| the acceptance by either party of a superior proposal that the other party decides not to match; |
| subject to further conditions specified in the Merger Agreement with respect to a control transaction (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) involving either party and a person or entity included in a disclosure schedule to the Merger Agreement, the failure to consummate the merger on or before June 30, 2010 caused solely by the other party; |

| subject to further conditions specified in the Merger Agreement with respect to a control transaction (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) involving either party and a person or entity included in a disclosure schedule to the Merger Agreement, the failure by either party to obtain the required vote of its stockholders; or |
| subject to further conditions specified in the Merger Agreement with respect to a control transaction (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) involving either party and a person or entity included in a disclosure schedule to the Merger Agreement, a material breach by either party of its representations, warranties or covenants in the Merger Agreement, which breach is not cured within the applicable time, |
the breaching party must pay a termination fee of $2.5 million to the other party. BCB and the Company agreed to this termination fee arrangement in order to induce each other to enter into the Merger Agreement. The termination fee requirement may discourage other companies from trying or proposing to combine with either BCB or the Company before the merger is completed.
BCB and the Company shall pay the documented fees and expenses of the other party, in an amount not to exceed $750,000, if the terminating party enters into an agreement to be acquired by purchase, consolidation, sale, transfer or otherwise, in one transaction or any related series of transactions, a majority of the voting power of its outstanding securities or substantially all of its consolidated assets, within six months of such termination. However, if the Company enters into such agreement with a party whose name has been previously disclosed to BCB in the Merger Agreement, the Company shall not pay the documented fees and expenses described in this paragraph, but may be required to pay, subject to the conditions in the Merger Agreement, the $2.5 million termination fee described above.
If either BCB or the Company fails to timely pay the termination fee to the other, the non-complying party will be obligated to pay the costs and expenses incurred by the other in connection with any action in which it prevails, taken to collect payment of such amounts, together with interest.
10. LOAN LITIGATION
The Banks largest non-accruing commercial loan of $1.9 million is to a local hospital. In October 2006, $1.0 million of the total $3.0 million due on the loan was paid and the remaining contractual balance of approximately $1.9 million was secured by a mortgage on real estate. The $1.9 million was due on June 1, 2007. As of September 30, 2009, the $1.9 million loan balance had not been paid. The repayment of the loan is subject to bankruptcy proceedings. In September 2008, the creditors committee for the hospital filed a complaint against the Bank seeking to recover the $1.0 million previously paid on the loan and to set aside the mortgage securing the $1.9 million still owed to the Bank, charging that the payment and the mortgage were avoidable preferences.
On June 9, 2009, the Liquidating Trustee for the hospital filed a motion providing for an auction sale of the two mortgaged properties to be sold free and clear of all liens, with liens to attach to the proceeds of sale. The Bank did not oppose the motion and the auction sale was held at a hearing on July 20, 2009. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, by orders dated July 23, 2009, approved separate bids to acquire the properties for a total of $1.6 million. The closings took place on August 5, 2009 and August 6, 2009, respectively. Net proceeds of the sale, after deducting taxes, real estate commissions and other closing costs, were approximately $1.5 million.
The parties in the litigation have recently completed discovery. All motions, including those for summary judgment, must be filed no later than November 25, 2009. The trial of any issues remaining following disposition of the motions is scheduled for February 24, 2010. The successful party in the preference litigation will be entitled to some or all of the net proceeds of the sale of the properties. At this point, management believes, based on discussions with its litigation counsel, the Bank will likely prevail in its defense. However, due to the normal uncertainties of any litigation, the loan

Based upon the net carrying value of the hospital loan as of September 30, 2009, if the Bank is successful in the preference litigation and, as a result, receives all or a certain portion of the net proceeds of the sale of the properties, the Bank may recover the current net carrying value of the hospital loan plus a portion of amounts previously reserved for. The Bank will continue to monitor this loan and evaluate its collectability as necessary.
11. SUSPENSION OF DIVIDENDS
On August 27, 2009, the Company announced that its board of directors has decided to suspend the Companys regular cash dividends on its common stock, including the dividend for the third quarter of 2009, until further notice.

Changes in Financial Condition
The Companys assets at September 30, 2009 totaled $571.5 million, which represents a decrease of $26.5 million or 4.4% as compared with $598.0 million at December 31, 2008.
Total cash and cash equivalents of $27.5 million at September 30, 2009 increased $13.9 million or 102.2% when compared with $13.6 million at December 31, 2008. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 resulted from an increase in interest-bearing deposits in other banks.

Securities available for sale at September 30, 2009 decreased $54,000 or 7.0% to $717,000 when compared with $771,000 at December 31, 2008. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 resulted primarily from repayments on securities available for sale of $95,000 and net unrealized gains of $41,000.
Investment securities held to maturity at September 30, 2009 totaled $11.3 million as compared with $11.4 million at December 31, 2008. Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity at September 30, 2009 decreased $23.7 million or 20.2% to $93.7 million when compared with $117.4 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 resulted primarily from principal repayments totaling $23.6 million.
Net loans receivable amounted to $421.6 million at September 30, 2009, as compared to $437.6 million at December 31, 2008, which represents a decrease of $16.0 million or 3.7%. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 resulted primarily from principal repayments exceeding loan originations.
Foreclosed real estate consists of three single-family residences.
Deferred tax assets totaled $5.4 million at September 30, 2009 as compared to $4.4 million at December 31, 2008 representing an increase of $1.0 million. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the provision for loan losses, the reserve for uncollectable interest and the accrual for pension and other post-retirement plans.
Deposits at September 30, 2009 totaled $447.6 million as compared with $444.0 million at December 31, 2008 representing an increase of $3.6 million or 0.8%. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 resulted from an increase in interest bearing deposits, which more than offset the loss of deposits as a result of the sale of the Banks Fort Lee, New Jersey branch in March 2009 with deposits, as of the date of sale, approximating $14.5 million.
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB) amounted to $59.0 million at September 30, 2009 as compared with $89.5 million at December 31, 2008 representing a decrease of $30.5 million or 34.1% due to repayments on the advances.

The decrease of $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 resulted from a net loss of $3.2 million and from cash dividends paid of $1.3 million offset by other comprehensive income of $235,000. The Company has suspended dividends on its common stock until further notice.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2009 totaled $10,000 as compared to net income of $611,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $621,000 or 101.6%. The decrease in net income during the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the same 2008 period, resulted primarily from a $1.0 million decrease in total interest income, an $806,000 decrease in total interest expense, a $498,000 increase in the provision for loan losses, a $274,000 decrease in non interest income, a $34,000 increase in noninterest expenses and a $388,000 decrease in income tax expense.
Interest income on loans decreased by $651,000 or 9.4% to $6.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared with $6.9 million for the same 2008 period. The decrease during the 2009 period resulted from a decrease of $11.8 million or 2.7% in the average balance of loans outstanding, along with a decrease of 44 basis points in the yield earned on loans. Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $326,000 or 22.8% to $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30,

2009, when compared with $1.4 million for the same 2008 period. The decrease during the 2009 period resulted from a decrease of $27.2 million or 21.7% in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities outstanding, along with a six basis point decrease in the yield earned on the mortgage-backed securities. Interest earned on investments increased by $10,000 or 4.4% to $236,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to $226,000 during the same 2008 period, primarily due to an increase of 36 basis points in the yield on the portfolio, which more than offset a decrease of $41,000 or 0.3% in the average balance of such assets outstanding. Interest income earned on other interest-earning assets decreased by $42,000 or 41.6% to $59,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to $101,000 during the same 2008 period, primarily due to a decrease of 210 basis points in the yield on the portfolio, which more than offset an increase of $13.5 million or 99.3% in the average balance of such assets outstanding.
Interest expense on deposits decreased $684,000 or 26.0% to $2.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to $2.6 million during the same 2008 period. Such decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of 61 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, in addition to a decrease of $8.5 million or 2.0% in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits.
Interest expense on advances from the FHLB and overnight borrowings decreased by $122,000 or 13.9% to $757,000 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared with $ 879,000 during the same 2008 period, primarily due to a decrease of $12.9 million or 17.8% in the average balance of advances and overnight borrowings outstanding, which more than offset a 23 basis point increase in the cost of advances and overnight borrowings.
Net interest income decreased $203,000 or 3.9% during the three months ended September 30, 2009 when compared with the same 2008 period. Such decrease was due to a decrease in total interest expense of $806,000, which was more than offset by a decrease in total interest income of $1.0 million. The Banks net interest rate spread was 3.19% in 2009 and 3.08% in 2008. There was a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 56 basis points, which more than offset a decrease of 45 basis points in the yield on interest-earning assets.
During the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Bank provided $850,000 and $352,000, respectively, as a provision for loan losses. The $498,000 increase in the provision for loan losses, from the 2008 to the 2009 period, was primarily due to an increase in the Banks non-performing loans, which were $21.6 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $8.8 million at September 30, 2008. The allowance for loan losses is based on managements 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 Banks loan activity. The Bank intends to continue to provide for loan losses based on its periodic review of the loan portfolio, taking into account general economic conditions, delinquency trends, historic charge-off experience, and recent valuations of properties collateralizing nonperforming loans.
At September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Banks non-performing loans, which were delinquent ninety days or more, totaled $21.6 million or 3.78% of total assets, and $8.8 million or 1.46% of total assets, respectively. At September 30, 2009, $5.6 million of non-performing loans were accruing interest and $16.0 million were on nonaccrual status.
Included in the non-performing loans were $10.0 million in one-to-four family mortgage loans, $2.0 million in multi-family mortgage loans, $2.6 million in non-residential mortgage loans, $4.6 million in construction and land loans, and $2.2 million in commercial loans. The Banks largest non-accruing commercial loan of $1.9 million is to a local hospital. In October 2006, $1.0 million of the total $3.0 million due on the loan was paid and the remaining contractual balance of approximately $1.9 million was secured by a mortgage on real estate. The $1.9 million was due on June 1, 2007. As of September 30, 2009, the $1.9 million loan balance had not been paid. The repayment of the loan is subject to bankruptcy proceedings. In September 2008, the creditors committee for the hospital filed a complaint against the Bank seeking to recover the $1.0 million previously paid on the loan and to set aside the mortgage securing the $1.9 million still owed to the Bank, charging that the payment and the mortgage were avoidable preferences.
On June 9, 2009, the Liquidating Trustee for the hospital filed a motion providing for an auction sale of the two mortgaged properties to be sold free and clear of all liens, with liens to attach to the proceeds of sale. The Bank did not oppose the motion and the auction sale was held at a hearing on July 20, 2009. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, by orders dated July 23, 2009, approved separate bids to acquire the properties for a total of $1.6 million. The closings took place on August 5, 2009 and August 6, 2009, respectively. Net proceeds of the sale, after deducting taxes, real estate commissions and other closing costs, were approximately $1.5 million.

The parties in the litigation have recently completed discovery. All motions, including those for summary judgment, must be filed no later than November 25, 2009. The trial of any issues remaining following disposition of the motions is scheduled for February 24, 2010. The successful party in the preference litigation will be entitled to some or all of the net proceeds of the sale of the properties. At this point, management believes, based on discussions with its litigation counsel, the Bank will likely prevail in its defense. However, due to the normal uncertainties of any litigation, the loan has been deemed impaired and is included in the recorded investments in impaired loans, net of its related allowance, at September 30, 2009. Based upon the net carrying value of the hospital loan as of September 30, 2009, if the Bank is successful in the preference litigation and, as a result, receives all or a certain portion of the net proceeds of the sale of the properties, the Bank may recover the current net carrying value of the hospital loan plus a portion of amounts previously reserved for. The Bank will continue to monitor this loan and evaluate its collectability as necessary.
During the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Bank charged off loans totaling $115,000 and $21,000, respectively. There were also no recoveries during either period. The allowance for loan losses amounted to $6.7 million at September 30, 2009, representing 1.58% of total loans and 31.02% of loans delinquent ninety days or more, and $3.7 million at September 30, 2008, representing 0.84% of total loans and 42.27% of loans delinquent ninety days or more.
Non-interest income decreased $273,000 or 42.7% to $367,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2009, from $640,000 during the same 2008 period, which resulted primarily from a decrease in commissions from the sale of financial products of $221,000, in addition to a decrease in fees and service charges of $25,000 and a decrease in other non-interest income of $27,000. The decrease in commissions from the sale of financial products was primarily due to managements decision to eliminate the sale of financial products to the general public in April of 2009.
Non-interest expenses increased $35,000 or 0.8% to $4.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared with $4.4 million during the same 2008 period. Equipment expense, professional fees and federal deposit insurance premium increased $6,000, $133,000, $171,000, respectively, which were greater than decreases in salaries and employee benefits, net occupancy expense of premises, advertising and other non-interest expense in the amounts of $172,000, $26,000, $8,000, $69,000, respectively, during the 2009 period when compared with the same 2008 period.
As previously reported, the Bank received federal grand jury subpoenas from the U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of New Jersey (U.S. Attorneys Office). The subpoenas were issued to the Bank in connection with an ongoing investigation regarding the Banks anti-money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act compliance. Certain individuals, including the Banks senior officers and directors, have received grand jury testimony subpoenas in connection with this investigation. In addition, the Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pamrapo Service Corporation (the Corporation), have also received federal grand jury subpoenas from the U.S. Attorneys Office relating to certain commissions paid to the manager of the Corporation. The Bank has and continues to fully cooperate with this ongoing investigation.
No penalties, either criminal or civil, have been imposed on the Bank to date as a result of the investigation. However, pursuant to FASB ASC 450 Contingencies, a company must accrue funds for a possible litigation loss if a loss is probable and the amount of the expected loss is reasonably estimable. It is probable that the Bank will incur monetary penalties in the form of fines and forfeitures as a result of these matters. As reported in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 23, 2009, the Bank was able to reasonably estimate certain losses, based on information that had come to light at that time. As a result, the Bank accrued a $3.0 million litigation loss reserve to reflect a potential criminal forfeiture, and related costs and expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
The Bank is only able to reasonably estimate certain losses at this time. It is probable that the Bank will incur material losses in addition to the $3.0 million litigation loss reserve described above; however it is not able to reasonably estimate additional losses at this time. These additional losses relate to potential further criminal forfeitures and potential criminal

fines that may be imposed separately by a court, and civil money penalties that may be imposed by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), the Banks primary federal regulator, and Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a part of the United States Treasury Department (FinCEN). Depending on the end result of the investigation, the total amount of penalties and related costs and expenses incurred by the Bank may be significantly higher than $3.0 million, and could have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, and regulatory capital ratios.
The increase in professional fees during the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the same 2008 period, was predominately due to expenses incurred for legal, accounting and other professional services as a result of the federal grand jury investigation by the U.S. Attorneys Office discussed above and the proposed merger with BCB, and fees paid to consultants that the Bank engaged as a result of a cease and desist order issued by the OTS, effective September 26, 2008.
FDIC premiums increased as a result of an increase in premium rates and the depletion of assessment credits previously in effect.
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 totaled $11,000 as compared to $399,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease during the 2009 period resulted primarily from a decrease in pre-tax income of $1.0 million offset by New Jersey State income tax liability under Pamrapo Investment Company, Inc. and Pamrapo Service Corp. reduced by the Companys federal income tax benefits. The effective income tax rate was (2282.9%) and 39.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 totaled $3.2 million as compared to net income of $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $5.8 million or 223.1%. The decrease in net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the same 2008 period, resulted primarily from a $5.8 million increase in total non-interest expenses and a higher provision for loan losses, as well as a decrease in total interest and non-interest income, which were partially offset by decreases in total interest expense and a reduction in income taxes. The $5.8 million increase in total non-interest expenses was primarily driven by a $3.0 million litigation loss reserve accrued during the second quarter of 2009 and a $2.3 million increase in professional fees from the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as well as a $638,000 increase in FDIC premiums, including a special assessment of $263,000 from the 2008 to the 2009 period.
Interest income on loans decreased by $1.2 million or 5.8% to $19.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, when compared with $20.7 million for the same 2008 period. The decrease during the 2009 period resulted from a decrease of $5.0 million or 1.2% in the average balance of loans outstanding, along with a decrease of 32 basis points in the yield earned on loans. Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $651,000 or 15.2% to $3.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, when compared with $4.3 million for the same 2008 period. The decrease during the 2009 period resulted from a decrease of $18.6 million or 14.8% in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities outstanding and a decrease of three basis points in the yield on the securities. Interest earned on investments increased by $80,000 or 12.8% to $703,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to $623,000 during the same 2008 period, primarily due to an increase of $604,000 or 5.4% in the average balance of such assets outstanding, along with an increase of 52 basis points in the yield on the portfolio.
Interest income earned on other interest-earning assets decreased by $768,000 or 82.5% to $163,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to $931,000 during the same 2008 period, primarily due to a decrease of $17.1 million or 40.3% in the average balance of such assets, in addition to a decrease of 208 basis points in the yield on the portfolio.
Interest expense on deposits decreased $2.4 million or 26.7% to $6.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to $9.0 million during the same 2008 period. Such decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of 56 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, in addition to a decrease of $33.6 million or 7.6% in

the average balance of interest-bearing deposits. Interest expense on advances from the FHLB and overnight borrowings decreased by $480,000 or 16.1% to $2.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, when compared with $3.0 million during the same 2008 period, primarily due to a decrease of $4.9 million or 6.4% in the average balance of advances and overnight borrowings outstanding, in addition to a decrease of 53 basis points in the cost of advances and overnight borrowings.
Net interest income increased $304,000 or 2.1% during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 when compared with the same 2008 period. Such increase was due to a decrease in total interest expense of $2.9 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in total interest income of $2.6 million. The Banks net interest rate spread was 3.09% in 2009 when compared with 2.73% during the same 2008 period. There was a decrease of 56 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which was partially offset by a decrease an increase of 20 basis points in the yield on interest-earning assets.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Bank provided $2.2 million and $580,000, respectively, as a provision for loan losses. The $1.6 million increase in the provision for loan losses, from the 2008 to the 2009 period, was primarily due to an increase in the Banks non-performing loans, which were $21.6 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $8.8 million at September 30, 2008. The allowance for loan losses is based on managements 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 Banks 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Bank charged off $138,000 and $21,000, respectively. There were also no recoveries during either period.
Non-interest income decreased by $57,000 or 3.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, to $1.7 million. This change resulted from a gain on the sale of a branch in the amount of $492,000, and an increase in other non-interest income in the amount of $10,000, which were offset by decreases in commissions from sale of financial products of $425,000 and fees and service charges in the amount of $134,000. The decrease in commissions from sale of financial products was primarily due to managements decision to eliminate the sale of financial products to the general public in April of 2009.
Non-interest expenses increased by $5.8 million or 50% to $17.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, when compared with $11.6 million during the same 2008 period. Equipment, professional fees, federal deposit insurance premiums, and litigation loss reserve increased $3,000, $2.3 million, $638,000 and $3.0 million, respectively, which was sufficient to offset decreases in salaries and employee benefits, net occupancy expense of premises, advertising, provision for loss on foreclosed real estate and other non-interest expense of $34,000, $56,000, $50,000, $15,000 and $1,000, respectively, during the 2009 period when compared with the same 2008 period. As discussed in Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Bank accrued a $3.0 million litigation loss reserve to reflect a potential criminal forfeiture, and related costs and expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as a result of the federal grand jury investigation by the U.S. Attorneys Office discussed above. It is probable that the Bank will incur material losses in addition to the $3.0 million litigation loss reserve; however no reasonable estimate of additional losses can be made at this time. Depending on the end result of the investigation, the total amount of penalties and related costs and expenses incurred by the Bank may be significantly higher than $3.0 million, and could have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, and regulatory capital ratios. The increase in professional fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the same 2008 period, was predominately due to expenses incurred for legal, accounting and other professional services as a result of the federal grand jury investigation by the U.S. Attorneys Office and the proposed merger with BCB, and fees paid to consultants that the Bank engaged as a result of a cease and desist order issued by the OTS. FDIC premiums increased as a result of an increase in premium rates, the depletion of assessment credits previously in effect and a special assessment during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 of $263,000.

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 totaled $82,000 as compared to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease during the 2009 period resulted primarily from a decrease in pre-tax income of $7.2 million, a non-deductable litigation loss reserve of $3.0 million, offset by New Jersey state income tax liability under Pamrapo Investment Company, Inc. and Pamrapo Service Corp. reduced by the Companys federal income tax benefits. The effective income tax rate was 2.7% and 37.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Bank is required by OTS regulations to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure the Banks safe and sound operation. The Banks liquidity averaged 5.74% during the month of September 2009. 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 levels as appropriate to meet its asset and liability objectives.
The Banks primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities, 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 Banks 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 nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
The primary sources of investing activities are lending and mortgage-backed securities. Loans receivable amounted to $421.6 million and $437.6 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Securities available for sale totaled $717,000 and $771,000 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity totaled $93.7 million and $117.4 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. In addition to funding new loan production through operating and financing activities, such activities were funded by principal repayments on existing loans and mortgage-backed securities.
The main sources of financing activities are deposits and advances. Deposits were $447.6 million and $444.0 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Advances from the FHLB totaled $59.0 million and $89.5 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Cash dividends of $1.3 million and $3.4 million were paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company has suspended dividends on its common stock until further notice.
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.
The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan commitments. At September 30, 2009, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $4.5 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at September 30, 2009, totaled $193.8 million. Management believes that, based upon its experience and the Banks deposit flow history, a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank.
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.

ITEM 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures 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 that either re-price or mature within a given period of time. The difference, or the interest rate re-pricing gap, provides an indication of the extent to which an institutions 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

Banks interest-bearing liabilities that mature or re-price 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 Banks current investment strategy is to maintain an overall securities portfolio that contributes to the Banks overall profitability and asset mix within given quality and maturity considerations established and maintained by the Banks Investment and Interest Rate Risk Committees.
Net Portfolio Value. The Banks interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through the use of the OTS model that estimates the change in the Banks 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 Banks quarterly Thrift Financial Reports. The following table sets forth the Banks NPV as of June 30, 2009, the most recent date the Banks 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 that 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 Banks 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 re-pricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the NPV measurements and net interest income models provide an indication of the Banks 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 Banks net interest income and will differ from actual results.
ITEM 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Financial Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-
26
Table of Contents
15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The purpose of these controls and procedures is to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the applicable time periods specified by the SECs rules and forms. Based on the evaluation, the Companys Chief Financial Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer concluded that, because of a material weakness in the Companys internal control over financial reporting as identified during managements assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2009.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of the end of fiscal 2008, management identified the following material weakness in the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, which also existed as of September 30, 2009:
Pamrapo Service Corporation The controls relating to fees and commissions from sale of financial products payable to the Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, were inadequate. In August 2008, management became aware that certain commission payments from a third-party broker, which were payable to the Corporation, as required by its policies and procedures, were being paid directly to the manager of the Corporation. The direct payments to the manager were made pursuant to a letter between a third-party broker and the president of the Corporation. These direct payments constituted a change in commission structure, which was made without the approval of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, as required by its policies and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Companys most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting. The Company has taken and is continuing to take actions to remediate its material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.
For a summary of the results of the internal investigation of the business and financial records of the Corporation conducted by independent forensic accountants engaged by the Companys Audit Committee, please see Part I, Item 2, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsReport of Independent Forensic Accountants of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
PART IIOTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. | Legal Proceedings |
As announced on February 3, 2009, the Bank previously received federal grand jury subpoenas from the U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of New Jersey. The subpoenas were issued to the Bank in connection with an ongoing investigation regarding the Banks anti-money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act compliance. Certain individuals, including the Banks senior officers and directors, have received grand jury testimony subpoenas in connection with this matter. In addition, the Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Corporation, have also received federal grand jury subpoenas from the U.S. Attorneys Office relating to certain commissions paid to the manager of the Corporation. The Bank has and continues to fully cooperate with this ongoing investigation.
No penalties, either criminal or civil, have been imposed on the Bank to date as a result of the investigation. However, pursuant to FASB ASC 450, a company must accrue funds for a possible litigation loss if a loss is probable and the amount of the expected loss is reasonably estimable. It is probable that the Bank will incur monetary penalties in the form of fines and forfeitures as a result of these matters.
27
Table of Contents
As reported in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 23, 2009, the Bank was able to reasonably estimate certain losses, based on information that had come to light at that time. As a result, the Bank accrued a $3.0 million litigation loss reserve to reflect a potential criminal forfeiture, and related costs and expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
The Bank is only able to reasonably estimate certain losses at this time. It is probable that the Bank will incur material losses in addition to the $3.0 million litigation loss reserve described above; however it is not able to reasonably estimate additional losses at this time. These additional losses relate to potential further criminal forfeitures and potential criminal fines that may be imposed separately by a court, and civil money penalties that may be imposed by the OTS, the Banks primary federal regulator, and FinCEN. Depending on the end result of the investigation, the total amount of penalties and related costs and expenses incurred by the Bank may be significantly higher than $3.0 million, and could have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, and regulatory capital ratios.
On July 9, 2009, a complaint was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey in Hudson County against the Company, each of its directors and BCB Bancorp, Inc. The action, which seeks class certification, was brought by Keith Kube, a purported shareholder of the Company, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated. On July 24, 2009, a second lawsuit was filed in the same court against the Company and its directors by David Shaev Profit Sharing Account, a purported shareholder. The two lawsuits were consolidated as of September 10, 2009. On October 16, 2009, an amended complaint was filed, which alleges, among other things, that the directors of the Company are in breach of their fiduciary duties to shareholders in connection with the Companys entry into the Merger Agreement with BCB, pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into BCB, with BCB as the surviving corporation. The amended complaint seeks, among other things, for the Court to enjoin the defendants from consummating the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and to award the plaintiffs attorneys fees and expenses incurred in bringing the lawsuit. The Company and its directors believe that the allegations in the amended complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against the asserted claims and causes of action.
ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors |
In addition to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, you should carefully consider the following additional risk factors, which could materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Higher FDIC deposit insurance premiums and assessments could adversely affect our financial condition.
The Banks FDIC insurance premiums have increased substantially in 2009, and we expect to pay significantly higher premiums in the future. A large number of depository institution failures have significantly depleted the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) and reduced the ratio of reserves to insured deposits. In order to restore the DIF reserve ratio to its statutorily mandated minimum of 1.15 percent over a period of several years, the FDIC increased deposit insurance premium rates at the beginning of 2009 and imposed a special assessment on June 30, 2009, which amounted to $263,000 for the Bank. The FDIC may impose additional special assessments in the future.
28
Table of Contents
On September 29, 2009, in order to ensure sufficient liquidity to pay for projected depository institution failures, the FDIC issued a proposed rule pursuant to which all insured depository institutions would be required to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. The proposed prepayment would be due on December 30, 2009. For purposes of calculating the prepaid assessment amount, an institutions assessment base for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 would be increased quarterly by an estimated five percent annual growth rate through the end of 2012. An institutions assessment rate for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010 would be equal to the rate in effect on September 30, 2009, under the proposed rule, but would be increased by three basis points for all of 2011 and 2012. If the proposed rule is passed, we would be required to make a payment to the FDIC on December 30, 2009, and to record the payment as a prepaid expense, which would be amortized to expense over three years.
Pursuant to the proposed rule, an insured depository institution would be permitted to transfer any portion of its prepaid assessment to another insured depository institution. Assuming the Bank merges into BCB Community Bank, with BCB Bank as the surviving institution, pursuant to the terms of the plan of merger between the two institutions, BCB Bank would be entitled, under the proposed rule, to use any unused portion of the Banks prepaid assessment not otherwise transferred.
The proposed merger with BCB could impact the business and financial results of the Company, whether or not the merger is completed.
As a result of the proposed merger with BCB, current and prospective employees of the Company could experience uncertainty about their future with the Company or the combined entity upon consummation of the merger. These uncertainties may impair the Companys ability to retain, recruit or motivate key personnel. Completion of the merger will also require a significant amount of time and attention from management. The diversion of management attention away from ongoing operations could adversely affect ongoing operations and business relationships. Additionally, professional service expenses have increased and may continue increase due to legal and accounting fees.
Failure to complete the merger could negatively impact the share price and the future business results of the Company.
There is no assurance that conditions to completion of the merger will be satisfied, including obtaining stockholder approval and the necessary regulatory approvals. If the merger is not completed for any reason, the price of the Companys common stock and the future results of the Company could be adversely affected.
ITEM 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
There were no repurchases by the Company of its common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, there were 248,165 shares remaining that may be repurchased under the Companys stock repurchase programs, which were announced on August 22, 2000 and February 3, 2009. Unless modified or revoked by the Companys Board of Directors, the repurchase authorizations do not expire.
