PAMRAPO BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 Company’s business is conducted principally through the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Currently, the Corporation is an inactive subsidiary due to the fact that it does not conduct any operations.

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the consolidated statement of financial condition date of March 31, 2010 for items that should be potentially recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. The evaluation was conducted through the date these financial statements were issued.

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 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 months ended March 31, 2010, 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

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 has 31,000 shares of potentially dilutive common stock equivalent outstanding during the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 that are excluded from the calculations as anti-dilutive.

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 Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Management does not believe that any of the unrealized losses at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 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 March 31, 2010, unrealized losses included six mortgage-backed securities and one trust-originated preferred security. At December 31, 2009, unrealized losses included three mortgage-backed securities and one trust originated preferred security.

For debt securities where the Bank has determined that an other-than-temporary impairment exists and the Bank does not intend to sell the security or it is not more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the impairment is separated into the amount that is credit-related and the amount due to all other factors. The credit-related impairment is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations, and is the difference between an investment’s amortized cost basis and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the investment’s effective interest rate. The non-credit component of impairment is recorded in other comprehensive loss. For debt securities classified as held-to-maturity, the amount of noncredit-related impairment recognized in other comprehensive loss is accreted over the remaining life of the debt security as an increase in the carrying value of the investment.

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 March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 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.” Management’s 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, and for the quarter and year ended, March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

For financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk (primarily loan commitments), the carrying value (deferred loan fees and costs) and the fair value are not deemed material.

The fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Further, the foregoing estimates may not reflect the actual amount that could be realized if all or substantially all of the financial instruments were offered for sale.

In addition, the fair value estimates were based on existing on-and-off balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to value anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Other significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets and liabilities include mortgage servicing rights, premises and equipment and advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.

Finally, reasonable comparability between entities may not be likely due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates which must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments. This lack of uniform valuation methodologies introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values.

Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of financial instruments:

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 that are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or nontransferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 3). In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Management’s 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) were used to support fair values of certain Level 3 investments.

FHLB-NY stock: The estimated fair value of the Bank’s investment in FHLB-NY stock is deemed equal to its carrying value, which represents the price at which it may be redeemed.

Table of Contents

Loans receivable (carried at cost): The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet 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 (carried at cost): 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-NY: 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.

The Company utilizes FASB ASC 820-10 which addresses aspects of the application of fair value accounting. 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 liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. For assets measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis, the Company’s fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are as follows:

The following valuation techniques were used to measure the fair value of assets in the table above.

Impaired loans — Loans included in the above table are those that are accounted for under FASB ASC 310-10-35, in which the Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s 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 the loan balances less valuation allowance as determined under FASB ASC 310-10-35. The fair value consists of the loan balances less valuation allowance as determined under FASB ASC 310-10-35. The fair value consists of loan balances of $8,722,000, net of specific valuation allowances of $2,637,000 at March 31, 2010, and loan balances of $7,170,000, net of valuation allowances of $2,302,000 at December 31, 2009.

Available for Sale Securities — Fair value for available for sale securities was based upon a market approach. Prices for securities that are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are traded in active markets, are obtained through third-party data service providers or dealer market participants with whom the Company has historically transacted both purchases and sales of investment securities. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, all fair values on available for sale securities were based on prices obtained from these sources based on actual market quotations for each specific security.

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 Company’s 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, regulatory agencies, 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.

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 plan’s funded status, and other plan information is included in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009.

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 Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

8. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

FASB ASC 810 Consolidation (“ASC 810”) became effective for us on January 1, 2010, and was amended to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The new authoritative accounting guidance requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its affect on the entity’s financial statements. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC 810 was effective January 1, 2010 and did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASC 860 Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860”) was amended to enhance reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC 860 was effective January 1, 2010 and did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

The FASB has issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This ASU requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting. Specifically, ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 to now require:

 

   

A reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and

 

   

In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements.

In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures:

 

   

For purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and

 

   

A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.

ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this Update did not have an effect on the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”). Under FASB’s 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 enterprise’s 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 did not have an effect on the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

9. MERGER.

On June 29, 2009, the Company and BCB Bancorp, Inc. a New Jersey corporation (“BCB”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) will merge with and into BCB, with BCB as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Pamrapo Savings Bank, S.L.A. (the “Bank” or “Pamrapo”) and BCB Community Bank, a New Jersey-chartered bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCB (“BCB Bank”), also entered 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. Our Board of Directors and stockholders, and the Board of Directors and stockholders of BCB, have approved the Merger and the Merger Agreement. The Merger transaction has received all necessary regulatory approvals.

10. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

On March 29, 2010, the Bank entered into a plea agreement with the United States to resolve a previously disclosed investigation into the Bank’s Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (“BSA/AML”) compliance program. The plea agreement was approved by the Bank and the United States, and was accepted by the United States District Court for New Jersey.

Under the agreement, the Bank pleaded guilty to a criminal information charging it with a single count of conspiracy to fail to file Currency Transaction Reports and Suspicious Activity Reports and to fail to establish an adequate anti-money laundering program as required by the Bank Secrecy Act and its implementing regulations (the “Information”). The Bank forfeited $5 million to the United States on March 29, 2010.

According to the terms of the plea, the United States has agreed that it will not bring any additional criminal charges against the Bank in connection with the criminal conduct alleged in the Information. The plea agreement reflects that the Bank has fully cooperated with the criminal investigation. The Bank continues to fully cooperate with the criminal investigation. On March 29, 2010, the Bank agreed to a consent order and payment of a civil money penalty of $5 million assessed concurrently by the OTS relating to the Bank’s BSA/AML compliance controls. The penalty does not require a separate payment to the OTS or United States from the amount forfeited pursuant to the agreement with the United States. As previously reported on the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2010, there is a potential for additional losses regarding the United States investigation, such additional losses would relate to potential criminal fines that may be imposed separately by a court, and civil money penalties that may be imposed by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a part of the United States Treasury Department. The maximum fine a court could impose is $500,000. In addition, FinCEN is seeking an assessment of a civil money penalty of $1 million. The Bank has not yet entered into a consent order with FinCEN.

Reserves totaling $5 million for the forfeiture and the concurrent OTS civil money penalty were previously established by the Bank as reported in Forms 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 23, 2009 and December 7, 2009. The $5 million forfeiture was charged against the established reserves in March 2010.

Pending Merger with BCB Bancorp, Inc.

On June 29, 2009, the Company and BCB Bancorp, Inc. a New Jersey corporation (“BCB”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) will merge with and into BCB, with BCB as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Pamrapo Savings Bank, S.L.A. (the “Bank” or “Pamrapo”) and BCB Community Bank, a New Jersey-chartered bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCB (“BCB Bank”), also entered 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. Our Board of Directors and stockholders, and the Board of Directors and stockholders of BCB, have approved the Merger and the Merger Agreement. The Merger transaction has received all necessary regulatory approvals.

Changes in Financial Condition

The Company’s assets at March 31, 2010 totaled $549.4 million, which represents a decrease of $8.4 million as compared with $557.8 million at December 31, 2009.

Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.8 million, or 8.3%, to $20.0 million at March 31, 2010 when compared with $21.8 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2010 resulted from decreases in interest-bearing deposits in other banks and in cash and amounts due from depository institutions.

Securities available for sale at March 31, 2010 increased $2,000 to $714,000 when compared with $712,000 at December 31, 2009. The increase during the three months ended March 31, 2010 resulted primarily from an increase in net unrealized gains of $12,000, partly offset by repayments on securities available for sale of $10,000.

Investment securities held to maturity totaled $11.3 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity at March 31, 2010 decreased $6.8 million or 7.7% to $81.0 million when compared with $87.8 million at December 31, 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, principal repayments of mortgage-backed securities held to maturity totaled $6.8 million.

Net loans receivable amounted to $420.2 million at March 31, 2010, as compared to $421.0 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2010 resulted primarily from a $700,000 provision for loan losses and, a $125,000 transfer to foreclosed real estate, which was in part offset by loan originations exceeding principal repayments.

Foreclosed real estate increased $405,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010, as the Bank foreclosed on a three-family residence, purchasing the first lien for $280,000 in addition to the net loan balance due to the Bank of $125,000.

Deposits at March 31, 2010 totaled $435.3 million as compared with $444.5 million at December 31, 2009, representing a decrease of $9.2 million or 2.1%. The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2010 resulted primarily from withdrawals by a local municipal agency totaling $4.7 million.

Short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB-NY”) were $32.0 million and $23.0 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, which included overnight borrowings of $5.0 million and $0.0, respectively. Long-term borrowings from the FHLB-NY amounted to $24.0 million and $28.0 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Other liabilities decreased by $4.1 million from $10.8 million at December 31, 2009 to $6.7 million at March 31, 2010. On March 29, 2010, the Bank entered into a plea agreement with the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey (the “U.S. Attorney’s Office”) and the U.S. Department of Justice (collectively, the “United States”) to resolve a previously disclosed investigation into the Bank’s Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (“BSA/AML”) compliance program. The plea agreement was approved by the Bank and the United States, and was accepted by the United States District Court for New Jersey. A payment of $5 million was made to the United States on March 29, 2010 which had been fully accrued on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2009.

Stockholders’ equity totaled $48.1 million and $48.2 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2010 resulted primarily from a net loss of $190,000.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009

The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled $190,000 as compared with net income of $438,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in net income during the three months ended March 31, 2010 resulted primarily from a decrease in non-interest income and an increase in non-interest expenses, which were partly offset by a decrease in income taxes.

Interest income on loans decreased by $580,000 or 8.6% to $6.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010, when compared with $6.8 million for the same 2009 period. The decrease during the 2010 period resulted from a decrease of $13.4 million or 3.1% in the average balance of loans outstanding, along with a decrease of 36 basis points in the yield earned on loans. Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $300,000 or 23.1% to $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010, when compared with $1.3 million for the same 2009 period. The decrease during the 2010 period resulted from a decrease of $30.4 million or 26.4% in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities outstanding, which more than offset a three basis point increase in the yield earned on the mortgage-backed securities. Interest earned on investments was $230,000 during each of the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, with little change in the average balances and yields. Interest earned on other interest-earning assets was $51,000 and $36,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase is primarily due to an increase of $2.6 million or 14.4% in the average balance of such assets outstanding, along with an increase of 19 basis points in the yield on the portfolio.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $850,000 or 35.3% to $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010, when compared to $2.4 million during the same 2009 period. Such decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of 85 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, partly offset by an increase of $1.9 million or 0.5% in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits. Interest expense on advances and other borrowed money decreased by $257,000 or 28.9% to $634,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010, when compared with $891,000 during the same 2009 period, primarily due to a decrease of $34.3 million or 40.2% in the average balance of advances and other borrowings outstanding, partly offset by an increase of 79 basis points in the cost of advances and other borrowings.

Net interest income increased $200,000 or 4.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2010 when compared with the same 2009 period. Such increase was due to a decrease in total interest expense of $1.1 million, which more than offset a decrease in total interest income of $900,000. The Bank’s net interest rate spread was 3.61% in 2010 and 3.05% in 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, there was a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 78 basis points, along with a decrease of 22 basis points in the yield on interest-earning assets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Bank provided $700,000 and $525,000, respectively, as a provision for loan losses. The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to an increase in the Bank’s non-performing loans, loans delinquent ninety days or more, which totaled $24.7 million or 5.8% of total assets at March 31, 2010 compared to $16.0 million or 3.70% of total assets at March 31, 2009. 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, 2010, $7.0 million of non-performing loans were accruing interest and $17.7 million were on non-accrual status.

Included in the non-performing loans, at March 31, 2010, were $14.3 million in one-to-four family mortgage loans, $2.4 million in multi-family mortgage loans, $4.0 million in non-residential mortgage loans, $3.2 million in construction loans, $0.5 million in commercial loans and $0.3 million in consumer loans.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Bank charged off $179,000 and $0 of loans, respectively. There were no recoveries during either period. The allowance for loan losses amounted to $7.1 million at March 31, 2010, representing 1.66% of total loans and 28.8% of loans delinquent ninety days or more, and $5.2 million at March 31, 2009, representing 1.19% of total loans and 32.32% of loans delinquent ninety days or more.

Non-interest income decreased $621,000 or 67.9% to $294,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $915,000 during the same 2009 period. The prior year period included a gain on the sale of the Fort Lee branch of $492,000 as well as commissions from the sale of financial products which have been discontinued since April 2009 due to management’s decision to eliminate the sale of financial products to the general public in April of 2009 as a result of the on-going investigation in connection with these commissions, as described in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2010.

Non-interest expenses increased $357,000 or 7.5% to $5.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010, when compared with $4.7 million during the same 2009 period. Professional fees and Federal insurance premiums increased $410,000 and $303,000, respectively, partly offset by decreases in salaries and employee benefits of $452,000. The increase in professional fees was predominately due to fees paid to consultants that the Bank engaged as a result of the Cease and Desist Order issued by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), effective September 26, 2008 and the Cease and Desist Order issued by the OTS, effective January 21, 2010, and expenses incurred for legal, accounting and other professional services as a result of the federal grand jury investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office and other litigation to which the Company is/was a party.

The income tax benefit totaled $65,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and income tax expense was $262,000 for the same prior-year period. The decrease during the 2010 period resulted from a decrease in pre-tax income of $955,000. The effective income tax rate was (25.5%) and 37.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which included the effect of non-deductible merger costs of $165,000 in the current period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Bank is required by OTS regulations to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure the Bank’s safe and sound operation. The Bank’s liquidity averaged 4.38% during the month of March 2010. 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/liability objectives.

The Bank’s 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 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, 2009. For the same current-year period, cash was used for operating activities, primarily resulting from the $5 million forfeiture to the United States.

The primary sources of investing activities are lending and mortgage-backed securities. Loans receivable amounted to $420.2 million and $421.0 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Securities available for sale totaled $714,000 and $712,000 at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity totaled $81.0 million and $87.8 million at March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, respectively. 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.

The main sources of financing activities are deposits and advances. Deposits were $435.3 million and $444.5 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Advances from the FHLB-NY totaled $56.0 million and $51.0 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

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-NY which provide an additional source of funds. At March 31, 2010, advances from the FHLB-NY amounted to $51.0 million and overnight borrowings from the FHLB-NY amounted to $5.0 million.

Effective January 5, 2010, the FHLB-NY imposed certain credit restrictions on the Bank which limits borrowings from the FHLB-NY to a maximum maturity of 30 days and its eligibility to sell mortgage loans into the Mortgage Partnership Finance (“MPF”) Program has been suspended pending a determination by the FHLB-NY that the Bank again meets the eligibility requirements for participation in the MPF Program. The Company continues to have the revolving overnight line of credit available to the extent collateral is provided by the Company. As of January 5, 2010, borrowings must be secured by mortgage-backed securities or specific mortgage loans, rather than by mortgage-backed securities or blanket mortgage loans. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had $30.4 million of mortgage-backed security pledges in excess of amounts borrowed.

In January 2010, the FRB-NY informed the Bank that it (i) no longer qualifies for uncollateralized daylight credit, (ii) is no longer eligible to borrow under the FRB-NY Discount Window’s primary credit program, rather requests to borrow at the Window will be considered under the secondary credit program and granted on an overnight basis, and (iii) is now required to prefund its Automated Clearing House credit originations.

The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan commitments. At March 31, 2010, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $4.6 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2010, totaled $172.7 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.

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 4T. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-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 SEC’s rules and forms. Based on the evaluation, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer concluded that, because of a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as identified during management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2010.

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 Company’s 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 2009, management identified the following material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, which also existed as of March 31, 2010:

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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s management, under the oversight of the joint Audit Committee of the Company and the Bank, has taken and is continuing to take actions to remediate the material weakness described above.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

On March 29, 2010, the Bank entered into a plea agreement with the United States to resolve a previously disclosed investigation into the Bank’s Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (“BSA/AML”) compliance program. The plea agreement was approved by the Bank and the United States, and was accepted by the United States District Court for New Jersey.

Under the agreement, the Bank pleaded guilty to a criminal information charging it with a single count of conspiracy to fail to file Currency Transaction Reports and Suspicious Activity Reports and to fail to establish an adequate anti-money laundering program as required by the Bank Secrecy Act and its implementing regulations (the “Information”). The Bank forfeited $5 million to the United States on March 29, 2010.

According to the terms of the plea, the United States has agreed that it will not bring any additional criminal charges against the Bank in connection with the criminal conduct alleged in the Information. The plea agreement reflects that the Bank has fully cooperated with the criminal investigation. The Bank continues to fully cooperate with the criminal investigation. On March 29, 2010, the Bank agreed to a consent order and payment of a civil money penalty of $5 million assessed concurrently by the OTS relating to the Bank’s BSA/AML compliance controls. The penalty does not require a separate payment to the OTS or United States from the amount forfeited pursuant to the agreement with the United States. As previously reported on the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2010, there is a potential for additional losses regarding the United States investigation, such additional losses would relate to potential criminal fines that may be imposed separately by a court, and civil money penalties that may be imposed by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a part of the United States Treasury Department. The maximum fine a court could impose is $500,000, in addition, FinCEN is seeking an assessment of a civil money penalty of $1 million. The Bank has not yet entered into a consent order with FinCEN.

Reserves totaling $5 million for the forfeiture and the concurrent OTS civil money penalty were previously established by the Bank as reported in Forms 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 23, 2009 and December 7, 2009. The $5 million forfeiture was charged against the established reserves in March 2010.

Class Action Lawsuit. On July 8, 2009, certain stockholders filed a purported class action lawsuit seeking relief with respect to the Merger. On December 8, 2009, the plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the special meeting previously scheduled for December 22, 2009 until the Company disseminated an amendment to the respective proxy statement that provided certain information that the plaintiffs asserted was material. The supplemental disclosures were made by the Company on January 1, 2010 pursuant to an agreement with the plaintiffs, whereby the plaintiffs agreed to withdraw their pending motion for injunctive relief in relation to the merger (but not any claims for money damages) provided that the Company included the supplemental disclosures. On February 11, 2010, the stockholders voted to approve the Merger and adopt the Merger Agreement.

William Campbell’s Lawsuit. On December 2, 2009, William J. Campbell, who is the largest stockholder of the Company and was the Bank’s former President and Chief Executive Officer from 1970 until February 13, 2009, filed a complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey in Hudson County against the Company, the Bank, and each of its directors. The complaint alleged, among other things, that the Company’s directors were in breach of their fiduciary duties to stockholders in connection with the Company’s entry into the merger agreement. Additionally, the complaint alleged that the Company failed to disclose that Kenneth Poesl and Robert Doria, former directors of BCB and now directors of the Company, still own BCB stock. The complaint sought, among other things, for the Court to award unspecified money damages to Mr. Campbell and enjoin the defendants from consummating the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and to award the plaintiff attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in bringing the lawsuit. Mr. Campbell simultaneously filed an Order to Show Cause Seeking Preliminary Injunction. Mr. Campbell’s lawsuit was identified as a related case to the pending, and previously mentioned, consolidated purported class action lawsuit.

On December 16, 2009, the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division entered an Order enjoining Pamrapo from conducting its special meeting of stockholders on December 22, 2009 or otherwise consummating the merger until further order of the court and ordering that the special meeting be conducted on February 11, 2010.

On February 11, 2010 the stockholders voted to approve the Merger and adopt the Merger Agreement and on February 16, 2010, the Superior Court of New Jersey, Hudson County, Chancery Division, entered an Order dissolving its injunction against the consummation and closing of the merger between Pamrapo and BCB Bancorp, Inc.
