Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc. Reports Continued Record Earnings
and Record Assets
and Record Assets
November 7, 2011
Fort Lee, NJ Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc. (NYSE-AMEX: BKJ), the holding company of Bank of New
Jersey, reported its strongest quarterly net income since opening in May, 2006 as well as reaching
$436.4 million in total assets as of September 30, 2011. Net income for the third quarter of 2011
reached a record $901 thousand compared to $544 thousand for the third quarter of 2010,
representing an increase of $357 thousand, or approximately 65.6%. Earnings per diluted share were
$0.17 for the third quarter of 2011 and $0.10 for the third quarter of 2010, respectively. Net
income for the first nine months of 2011 exceeded $2.3 million, or $0.45 per diluted share,
compared to $1.6 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2010. The net
income generated during the quarter represents the nineteenth consecutive quarter of profitability.
During the third quarter of 2011, net interest income increased by 19.1%, or approximately $612
thousand, to $3.8 million from $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2010. During the first nine
months of 2011, net interest income reached $11.2 million compared to $9.3 million for the first
nine months of 2010, reflecting a 19.8% increase. The increase in net interest income was
primarily due to higher average loan balances, which was the result of increased loan production
during the first nine months of 2011. During the third quarter of 2011, non-interest expenses,
net, increased $160 thousand, or 8.6%, compared to third quarter of 2010, to $2.0 million, while
the provision for loan losses decreased $130 thousand to $300 thousand for third quarter 2011 as
compared to $430 thousand for third quarter 2010. Non-interest expense, net, for the nine months
ended September 30, 2011 increased $783 thousand to $6.4 million, compared to $5.6 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the provision
for loan losses was $898 thousand, a decrease of $187 thousand from $1.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2010. The decreases in the provision for loan losses for the three- and
nine-month periods reflect the credit quality of the loan portfolio and the stabilization of
non-performing loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company sold one other
real estate owned property, resulting in a $203 thousand loss, and had no other real estate owned
at September 30, 2011.

compared to $370.3 million at December 31, 2010. The company also reached record levels in its
loans and deposits as of September 30, 2011. Total loans reached $353 million at September 30,
2011 compared to $302.1 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $50.9 million,
or approximately 16.8%. Total deposits increased to $381.6 million at September 30, 2011 from
