Exhibit 99.1

PAMRAPO BANCORP, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2010 RESULTS

BAYONNE, N.J., May 11, 2010 — Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBCI) (the “Company”) today announced a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

The net loss for the first quarter of 2010 amounted to $190,000 or $0.04 per share, as compared to net income of $438,000 or $0.09 per share for the first quarter of 2009. The decrease in net income for the 2010 quarter was primarily due to a $621,000 decrease in total non-interest income, a $357,000 increase in non-interest expenses, partly offset by a $327,000 decrease in income taxes. The $621,000 decrease in total non-interest income primarily relates to a $492,000 gain on sale of the Fort Lee Branch in the first quarter of 2009. The $357,000 increase in non-interest expenses was primarily driven by a $410,000 increase in professional fees, a $303,000 increase in FDIC premiums, partly offset by a decrease of $452,000 in salaries and employee benefits.

The increase in professional fees during the current quarter, as compared to the same 2009 period, was predominately due to expenses incurred for legal, accounting and other professional services as a result of the federal grand jury investigation discussed below, fees paid to consultants that Pamrapo Savings Bank, S.L.A. (the “Bank”), the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, engaged as a result of a cease and desist order issued by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”), effective September 26, 2008, and a cease and desist order issued by the OTS, effective January 21, 2010. FDIC premiums expense increased as a result of an increase in premium rates, while salaries and benefits decreased due to lower pension, medical and salary expenses.

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 million or 3.70% of total assets at March 31, 2009. At March 31, 2010, $7.0 million of non-performing loans were accruing interest and $17.7 million were on non-accrual status.

The Bank continues to be well-capitalized as of March 31, 2010 with a tier one capital ratio of 9.06% as compared to the minimum regulatory requirement of 4.0%.

The Company’s book value per share at March 31, 2010 was $9.74.

Recent Developments

On March 29, 2010, the Bank entered into a plea agreement with the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey 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.

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.

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. 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. The Bank has not yet entered into a consent order with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.

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.
