NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated 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. 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.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2008, 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 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders and incorporated by reference into the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

3. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income 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.

5. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The primary effect of SFAS 157 on the Company was to expand the required disclosures pertaining to the methods used to determine fair values upon adoption on January 1, 2008.

SFAS 157 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 SFAS 157 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.

The following valuation techniques were used to measure fair value of assets in the table above on a recurring basis effective January 1, 2008.

Available for sale securities — Fair value on 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 September 30, 2008, all fair values on available for sale securities were based on prices obtained from these sources and were based on actual market quotations for each specific security.

Loans — Loans included in the above table are those that are accounted for under SFAS 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” 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 SFAS 114.

Foreclosed assets — Fair value of foreclosed assets 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.

6. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We consider 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 to be critical accounting policies. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. 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 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. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When The Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (FSP 157-3), to clarify the application of the provisions of SFAS 157 in an inactive market and how an entity would determine fair value in an inactive market. FSP 157-3 is effective immediately and applies to our September 30, 2008 financial statements. The application of the provisions of FSP 157-3 did not materially affect our results of operations or financial condition as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2008.

In September 2008, the FASB issued FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4, “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161” (FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4). FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4 amends and enhances disclosure requirements for sellers of credit derivatives and financial guarantees. It also clarifies that the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 161 are effective for quarterly periods beginning after November 15, 2008, and fiscal years that include those periods. FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4 is effective for reporting periods (annual or interim) ending after November 15, 2008. The implementation of this standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS CONTINUED

In September 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-5, “Issuer’s Accounting for Liabilities Measured at Fair Value With a Third-Party Credit Enhancement” (EITF 08-5). EITF 08-5 provides guidance for measuring liabilities issued with an attached third-party credit enhancement (such as a guarantee). It clarifies that the issuer of a liability with a third-party credit enhancement should not include the effect of the credit enhancement in the fair value measurement of the liability. EITF 08-5 is effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF 08-5 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (Statement 161). Statement 161 requires entities that utilize derivative instruments to provide qualitative disclosures about their objectives and strategies for using such instruments, as well as any details of credit-risk-related contingent features contained within derivatives. Statement 161 also requires entities to disclose additional information about the amounts and location of derivatives located within the financial statements, how the provisions of SFAS 133 have been applied, and the impact that hedges have on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Statement 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2008, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 140-3, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions.” This FSP addresses the issue of whether or not these transactions should be viewed as two separate transactions or as one “linked” transaction. The FSP includes a “rebuttable presumption” that presumes linkage of the two transactions unless the presumption can be overcome by meeting certain criteria. The FSP will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and will apply only to original transfers made after that date; early adoption will not be allowed. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. This Statement is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

8. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

The Bank is subject to a range of bank regulatory compliance obligations. In connection with a routine compliance examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), certain deficiencies were identified. The Bank has and continues to take steps to remediate these deficiencies and to strengthen the Bank’s overall compliance programs. The Bank agreed to a cease and desist order (the “Order”) issued by the OTS on September 26, 2008 as a result of issues relating to the Bank’s compliance with certain laws and regulations, including the Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering (“BSA/AML”). The Order did not identify or relate to any issues regarding the safety and soundness of the Bank.

The Order requires the Bank to strengthen its BSA/AML Program, to strengthen its Compliance Maintenance Program and internal controls related to those matters and to take certain other actions identified by the OTS in the Order. The Bank has already begun to implement several initiatives to enhance, among other things, its BSA/AML Program that addresses the requirements of the Order, and is also implementing initiatives to enhance its Compliance Management Program in accordance with the requirements of the Order.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

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.

Changes in Financial Condition

The Company’s assets at September 30, 2008 totaled $593.3 million, which represents a decrease of $64.1 million or 9.8% as compared with $657.4 million at December 31, 2007.

Total cash and cash equivalents of $7.5 million at September 30, 2008 decreased $59.4 million or 88.8% when compared with $66.9 million at December 31, 2007. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 resulted primarily from a decrease in interest-bearing deposits in other banks, attributable to a decrease in deposits in the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York due to deposit outflow.

Securities available for sale at September 30, 2008 decreased $150,000 or 16.4% to $767,000 when compared with $917,000 at December 31, 2007. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 resulted primarily from repayments on securities available for sale of $89,000 and a decrease in net unrealized gain of $61,000.

Investment securities held to maturity at September 30, 2008 totaled $11.4 million as compared with $10.4 million at December 31, 2007. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, purchases of investment securities held to maturity totaled $1.0 million. Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity at September 30, 2008 decreased $1.8 million or 1.5 % to $122.1 million when compared with $123.9 million at December 31, 2007. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, purchases of mortgage-backed securities held to maturity totaled $15.0 million and repayments totaled $16.6 million.

Net loans amounted to $436.3 million at September 30, 2008, as compared to $439.1 million at December 31, 2007, which represents a decrease of $2.8 million or .06%. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 resulted primarily from principal repayments exceeding loan originations.

Foreclosed real estate consists of two single family residences.

Deposits at September 30, 2008 totaled $447.1 million as compared with $508.0 million at December 31, 2007, representing a decrease of $60.9 million or 12.0%. The decrease was primarily impacted by the reduction of an interest bearing account which had a balance of $40.3 million at December 31, 2007 to $263,000 at September 30, 2008.

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB”) amounted to $79.8 million at September 30, 2008 as compared with $84.0 million at December 31, 2007 representing a decrease of $4.2 million or 5.0% due to repayments on the advances exceeding new advances.

Stockholders’ equity totaled $57.8 million and $58.6 million at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The decrease of $800,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 resulted primarily from net income of $2.6 million, which was more than offset by cash dividends paid of $3.4 million.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 totaled $611,000 as compared with $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, representing a decrease of $534,000 or 46.7%. The decrease in net income during the 2008 period resulted from increases in total non-interest expenses and the provision for loan losses and a decrease in total interest income, which were partially offset by decreases in total interest expenses and income taxes and an increase in total non-interest income.

Interest income on loans decreased by $309,000 or 4.3 % to $6.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2008, when compared with $7.2 million for the same 2007 period. The decrease during the 2008 period resulted from a decrease of $8.4 million or 1.9% in the average balance of loans outstanding, along with a decrease of sixteen basis points in the yield earned on loans. Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $80,000 or 5.3% to $1.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2008, when compared with $1.5 million for the same 2007 period. The decrease during the 2008 period resulted from a decrease of $6.9 million or 5.2% in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities outstanding, along with a one basis point decrease in the yield earned on the mortgage-backed securities. Interest earned on investments increased $51,000 or 29.1% to $226,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2008, when compared to $175,000 during the same 2007 period primarily due to an increase of $1.6 million or 15.5% in the average balance of such assets outstanding, along with an increase of eighty-two basis points in the yield on the portfolio. Interest income earned on other interest-earning assets decreased by $299,000 or 74.8% to $101,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2008, when compared to $400,000 during the same 2007 period primarily due to a decrease of $18.4 million or 57.5% in the average balance of such assets outstanding, along with a decrease of two hundred-three basis points in the yield on the portfolio.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $872,000 or 24.9% to $2.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2008, when compared to $3.5 million during the same 2007 period. Such decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of seventy basis points in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, along with a decrease of $17.0 million or 3.9% in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits. Interest expense on advances and other borrowed money decreased by $194,000 or 18.1% to $879,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2008, when compared with $1.1 million during the same 2007 period, primarily due to a decrease of $14.9 million or 17.1% in the average balance of advances and other borrowed money outstanding, along with a decrease of six basis points in the cost of advances and other borrowed money.

Net interest income increased $429,000 or 9.1 % during the three months ended September 30, 2008 when compared with the same 2007 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 $637,000. The Bank’s net interest rate spread was 3.08% in 2008 and 2.55% in 2007. There was a decrease of sixty-four basis points in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which more than offset a decrease of eleven basis points in the yield on interest-earning assets.

During the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Bank provided $352,000 and $150,000, 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. At September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Bank’s non-performing loans, which were delinquent ninety days or more, totaled $8.8 million or 1.46% of total assets and $5.1 million or 0.82% of total assets, respectively. At September 30, 2008, $3.5 million of non-performing loans were accruing interest and $5.3 million were on non-accrual status.

Included in the non-performing loans were $3.0 million in one-to-four family mortgage loans, $2.0 million in commercial loans, $1.5 million in non-residential loans, $1.2 million in multi-family loans and $1.1 million in construction loans. The largest commercial loan is to a local hospital. The loan was originally for $3.0 million. When the loan matured on October 15, 2006, $1.0 million of the loan was paid and the remaining balance of approximately $1.9 million was secured by a mortgage on real estate. As of September 30, 2008, the $1.9 million loan balance had not been paid. The hospital is presently in bankruptcy and the repayment of the loan is subject to bankruptcy proceedings. In September 2008, the creditor’s 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.

During the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Bank charged off loans aggregating $21,000 and $12,000, respectively, and recoveries totaled $0 and $100,000, respectively. The allowance for loan losses amounted to $3.7 million at September 30, 2008, representing 0.84% of total loans and 42.27% of loans delinquent ninety days or more, and $3.2 million at September 30, 2007, representing 0.73% of total loans and 63.02% of loans delinquent ninety days or more.

Non-interest income increased $135,000 or 26.7% to $640,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2008, from $505,000 during the same 2007 period, which resulted primarily from increases in commissions from sale of financial products of $77,0000 and miscellaneous income of $57,000.

Non-interest expenses increased $1.2 million or 35.9% to $4.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2008, when compared with $3.3 million during the same 2007 period. Salaries and employee benefits, net occupancy expense of premises, equipment, professional fees, loss on foreclosed real estate and miscellaneous expenses increased $400,000, $20,000, $38,000, $710,000, $2,000 and $10,000, respectively, which was sufficient to offset a decrease in advertising expense of $12,000 during the 2008 period when compared with the same 2007 period. The increase in professional fees was due to fees related to compliance and regulatory issues associated with the Order issued by the OTS on September 26, 2008 which was stipulated and consented to by the Bank on that same date. The increase was also due to certain other corporate and litigation matters.

Income taxes totaled $399,000 and $671,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease during the 2008 period resulted from a decrease in pre-tax income of $807,000. The effective income tax rate was 39.5% and 37.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

Net income decreased $941,000 or 26.7% to $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared with $3.5 million for the same 2007 period. The decrease in net income during the 2008 period resulted from an increase in total non-interest expenses and the provision for loan losses, along with decreases in total interest income and total non-interest income, which were partially offset by decreases in total interest expenses and income taxes.

Interest income on loans decreased by $953,000 or 4.4% to $20.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, when compared with $21.7 million for the same 2007 period. The decrease during the 2008 period resulted from a decrease of nine basis points in the yield earned on loans, along with a decrease of $13.9 million or 3.1% in the average balance of loans outstanding. Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $341,000 or 7.4% to $4.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, when compared with $4.6 million for the same 2007 period. The decrease during the 2008 period resulted from a decrease of $9.9 million or 7.4% in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities outstanding. There was no change in the yield earned on the mortgage-backed securities. Interest earned on investments increased $109,000 or 21.2% to $623,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, when compared to $514,000 during the same 2007 period primarily due to an increase of fifty-one basis points in the yield on the portfolio, along with an increase of $1.3

million or 12.9% in the average balance of such assets outstanding. Interest earned on other interest-earning assets decreased by $173,000 or 15.7% to $931,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, when compared to $1.1 million during the same 2007 period primarily due to a decrease of two-hundred thirteen basis points in the yield on the portfolio, which more than offset an increase of $13.3 million or 45.6% in the average balance of such assets outstanding.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $1.2 million or 11.8% to $9.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, when compared to $10.2 million during the same 2007 period. Such decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of forty-three basis points in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, which was sufficient to offset an increase of $9.8 million or 2.3% in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits. Interest expense on advances and other borrowed money decreased by $359,000 or 10.8% to $3.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, when compared with $3.3 million during the same 2007 period, primarily due to a decrease of $16.9 million or 18.0% in the average balance of advances and other borrowed money outstanding, sufficient to offset a forty-one basis point increase in the cost of advances and other borrowed money.

Net interest income increased $205,000 or 1.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 when compared with the same 2007 period. Such increase was due to a decrease in total interest expense of $1.6 million, which more than offset a decrease in total interest income of $1.4 million. The Bank’s net interest rate spread was 2.73% in 2008 and 2.58% in 2007. A decrease of thirty-five basis points in the cost on interest-bearing liabilities was more than offset by a twenty-one basis point decrease in the yield of interest-earning assets.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Bank provided $580,000 and $520,000, 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Bank charged off loans aggregating $21,000 and $32,000, respectively, and recoveries totaled $0 and $100,000, respectively.

Non-interest income decreased $80,000 or 4.4% to $1.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, from $1.8 million during the same 2007 period, which resulted from a decrease in commissions from sale of financial products of $232,000 as there has been continued stress on borrowers from difficult economic conditions, rising energy costs, and negative commercial and residential real estate market issues pervading into many related businesses, which more than offset increases in fees and service charges of $25,000 and miscellaneous income of $127,000.

Non-interest expenses increased by $1.5 million or 15.0% to $11.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, when compared with $10.1 million during the same 2007 period. Salaries and employee benefits, net occupancy expense of premises, equipment, advertising, professional fees, and loss on foreclosed real estate expenses increased $446,000, $88,000, $38,000, $15,000, $987,000 and $30,000, respectively, which was sufficient to offset a decrease in miscellaneous expense of $95,000, during the 2008 period when compared with the same 2007 period. The increase in professional fees was due to fees related to compliance and regulatory issues associated with the Order issued by the OTS on September 26, 2008 which was stipulated and consented to by the Bank on that same date. The increase was also due to certain other corporate and litigation matters. The increase in loss on foreclosed real estate relates to costs to maintain the properties.

Income taxes totaled $1.6 million and $2.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease during the 2008 period resulted from a decrease in pre-tax income of $1.4 million. The effective income tax rate was 37.6% and 36.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Bank is required by the OTS regulations to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure the Bank’s safe and sound operation. The Bank’s liquidity averaged 2.02% during the month of September 2008. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The primary source of cash was net income. Cash dividends of $3.4 million were paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The primary sources of investing activities are lending and mortgage-backed securities. Loans receivable amounted to $436.3 million and $439.1 million at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Securities available for sale totaled $767,000 and $917,000 at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity totaled $122.1 million and $123.9 million at September 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, 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.

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 September 30, 2008, advances from the FHLB amounted to $79.8 million.

The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan commitments. At September 30, 2008, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $7.2 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at September 30, 2008, totaled $210.6 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.

In a press release dated November 3, 2008 the Company announced its intention to file an application with the U.S. Treasury Department to participate in the Capital Purchase Program which was announced on October 14, 2008 as part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008.

Under the Capital Purchase Program, the Company is eligible to receive up to $11,400,000 in capital through the issuance of preferred stock, based on three percent of the Company’s risk-weighted assets as of September 30, 2008. At September 30, 2008, the Bank’s Tier I capital ratio was 9.82%. On a pro forma basis at September 30, 2008 assuming full participation in the program, the Bank’s Tier I capital ratio would increase to approximately 11.5%, compared to the minimum regulatory capital requirement of 4%. The Company’s participation in the program, as well as the amount the Treasury Department may invest, is subject to Treasury’s approval, the execution of definitive agreements and standard closing conditions.

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 reprice or mature within a given period of time. The difference, or the interest rate repricing “gap,” provides an indication of the extent to which an institution’s 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 Bank’s interest-bearing liabilities that mature or reprice 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 Bank’s current investment strategy is to maintain an overall securities portfolio that provides a source of liquidity and that contributes to the Bank’s overall profitability and asset mix within given quality and maturity considerations established and maintained by the Bank’s Investment and Interest Rate Risk Committees. Securities classified as available for sale provide management with the flexibility to make adjustments to the portfolio given changes in the economic or interest rate environment, to fulfill unanticipated liquidity needs, or to take advantage of alternative investment opportunities.

Net Portfolio Value. The Bank’s interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through the use of the OTS model that estimates the change in the Bank’s 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 Bank’s quarterly Thrift Financial Reports. The following table sets forth the Bank’s NPV as of June 30, 2008, the most recent date the Bank’s 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 Bank’s 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 repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the NPV measurements and net interest income models provide an indication of the Bank’s 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 Bank’s net interest income and will differ from actual results.
