Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q may include certain forward-looking statements based on current management expectations. The actual results of the Company could differ materially from those management expectations. Factors that could cause future results to vary from current management expectations include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, changes in tax policies, rates and regulations of federal, state and local tax authorities, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, the cost of funds, demand for loan products, demand for financial services, competition, changes in the quality or composition of loan and investment portfolios of the Bank, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, and other economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors affecting the Company's operations, markets, products, services and prices.
Recent Developments
As previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and its 2008 Annual Report to Shareholders, in August 2008, management became aware that certain commission payments from a third-party broker, which were payable to Pamrapo Service Corporation, Inc. (the "Corporation"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, as required by its policies and procedures, were being paid directly to the manager of the Corporation (the "Manager"). 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. Following an internal inquiry into this matter, the Bank determined, based upon the knowledge and understanding at the time of the individuals who conducted the inquiries, that $270,357 was owed by the Manager to the Corporation for commissions paid directly to the Manager for the period from August 2007 to December 2008. The $270,357 was repaid by or on behalf of the Manager to the Corporation, and the Company and the Bank recognized the amount of $270,357 in earnings during the fourth quarter of 2008. For further information, please see Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 2008 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is filed as Exhibit 13 and incorporated by reference to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2008.

According to the Report, the independent forensic accountants determined that, as of May 5, 2009, excluding the $270,357 previously paid to the Corporation, an additional $224,559 in commission revenue for
The Report reflects the determinations of the independent forensic accountants based upon information received and procedures performed through the date of the Report. The Company's management and Board of Directors are still in the process of evaluating the Report.

Approximately $38.0 million of the decrease relates to withdrawals from one interest bearing demand deposit account.
Interest expense on deposits decreased $993,000 or 29.2% to $2.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009, when compared to $3.4 million during the same 2008 period. Such decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $64.4 million or 13.9% in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits, along with a decrease of fifty-two basis points in the cost of interest-bearing deposits. Interest expense on advances and other borrowed money decreased by $146,000 or 14.6% to $891,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009, when compared with $1.0 million during the same 2008 period, primarily due to a decrease of seventy-six basis points in the cost of advances and other borrowed money, which more than offset an increase of $1.3 million or 1.5% in the average balance of advances and other borrowed money outstanding.
Net interest income increased $356,000 or 7.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2009 when compared with the same 2008 period.

The Bank's net interest rate spread was 3.05% in 2009 and 2.51% in 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, there was a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities of fifty-two basis points, along with an increase of two basis points in the yield on interest-earning assets.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Bank provided $525,000 and $77,500, respectively, as a provision for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan portfolio and gives due consideration to the changes in general market conditions and in the nature and volume of the Bank's loan activity. The Bank intends to continue to provide for loan losses based on its periodic review of the loan portfolio and general market conditions. The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to an increase in the Bank's non-performing loans. At March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Bank's non-performing loans, which were delinquent ninety days or more, totaled $16.0 million or 2.70% of total assets and $5.4 million or 0.90% of total assets, respectively. At March 31, 2009, $8.8 million of non-performing loans were accruing interest and $7.2 million were on non-accrual status.
Included in the non-performing loans were $7.1 million in one-to-four family mortgage loans, $2.5 million in multi-family mortgage loans, $2.2 million in non-residential mortgage loans, $2.0 million in construction
During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Bank charged off no loans. There were also no recoveries during either period. The allowance for loan losses amounted to $5.2 million at March 31, 2009, representing 1.19% of total loans and 32.32% of loans delinquent ninety days or more, and $3.2 million at March 31, 2008, representing 0.75% of total loans and 59.43% of loans delinquent ninety days or more.
Non-interest income increased $377,000 or 70.1% to $915,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $538,000 during the same 2008 period. Fees and service charges and commissions from the sale of financial products decreased $69,000 and $81,000 respectively, which were more than offset by the gain on the sale of the Fort Lee branch of $492,000 and an increase in other income of $36,000.
Non-interest expenses increased $1.2 million or 34.3% to $4.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009, when compared with $3.5 million during the same 2008 period. Salaries and employee benefits, professional fees, and miscellaneous expenses increased $124,000, $1,022,000, and $105,000 respectively, sufficient to offset decreases in net occupancy of premises, equipment, advertising, and loss on foreclosed real estate of $4,000, $12,000, $26,000 and $22,000 respectively. 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 expenses incurred for legal, accounting and other professional services as a result of the federal grand jury investigation by the United States Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey ("U.S. Attorney's Office").
Income taxes totaled $262,000 and $591,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease during the 2009 period resulted from a decrease in pre-tax income of $901,000. The effective income tax rate was 37.5% and 36.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
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 3.84% during the month of March 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/liability objectives.
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 and 2008.
The primary sources of investing activities are lending and mortgage-backed securities. Loans receivable amounted to $430.7 million and $437.6 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Securities available for sale totaled $726,000 and $771,000 at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity totaled $111.0 million and $117.4 million at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, 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, advances and dividends. Deposits were $386.0 million and $403.3 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Advances totaled $91.6 million and $89.5 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Cash dividends of $740,000 and $1.1 million were paid during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, 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 which provide an additional source of funds. At March 31, 2009, advances from the FHLB amounted to $91.6 million.
The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan commitments. At March 31, 2009, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $4.9 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2009, totaled $196.9 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.
