and Record Asset Levels

November 15, 2012

Fort Lee, NJ – Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc. (NYSE-AMEX: BKJ), the holding company of Bank of New Jersey, reported its strongest third quarter net income and strongest nine month net income to begin a year. Net income for the third quarter of 2012 reached $1.1 million compared to net income of $901 thousand in the third quarter of 2011. This represents a 26.7% increase in net income, or $241 thousand. Earnings per diluted share reached $0.22 in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $0.17 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2011. Net income for the first nine months of 2012 was $3.0 million, an increase of $682 thousand, or 29.0%, as compared to net income of $2.4 million for the same period in 2011. Earnings per diluted share grew to $0.58 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 an increase of $0.13, or 28.9%, over the diluted earnings per share of $0.45 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The net income generated during this quarter represents the company’s twenty third consecutive quarter of profitability and represents the company’s strongest quarter since opening.

During the third quarter of 2012, net interest income increased by 16.9%, or approximately $644 thousand, to $4.5 million from $3.8 in the third quarter of 2011. During the first nine months of 2012, net interest income reached $12.8 million, reflecting a 14.4% increase from $11.2 million in the first nine months of 2011. The increased net interest income remains primarily due to higher average loans, the result of increased loan production during the first nine months of 2012. During the third quarter of 2012, non-interest expense, net increased 14.4%, or $291 thousand, to $2.3 million, compared to $2.0 million during the third quarter of 2011. Non-interest expense, net in the first nine months of 2012 reflected an increase of approximately $529 thousand, or 8.3%, to $6.9 million from $6.4 million in the first nine months of 2011. The increase in non-interest expense is, primarily, due to increases in salaries and benefits and occupancy and equipment related to branch expansion. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the provision for loan losses was $260 thousand, compared to provision for loan losses of $300 thousand, for the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the provision for loan losses was $885 thousand, compared to provision for loan losses of $898 thousand, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Management believes the amount of the provision reflects both the necessary increases in the allowance for loan losses related to new loans and non-performing loans, and that the allowance for loan losses reflects the credit quality of our loan portfolio at September 30, 2012.

Bancorp of New Jersey’s total assets reached $548.8 million at September 30, 2012, compared to $469.8 million at December 31, 2011. Total loans reached $418.1 million at September 30, 2012, compared to $365.2 million at December 31, 2011, representing an increase of $52.9 million, or 14.5%. Total deposits increased to $492.5 million at September 30, 2012 from $416.2 million at December 31, 2011, an increase of $76.3 million, or 18.3%. Stockholder’s equity grew to $54.2 million at September 30, 2012, from $51.9 million at December 31, 2011.
