BCB Bancorp Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BCB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, BCB Community Bank (the “Bank”), BCB Holding Company Investment Company, and Pamrapo Service Corporation. The Company’s business is conducted principally through the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information that would be included in audited financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial condition and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 or any other future interim period. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2010, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 2 – Acquisition
 
Allegiance Community Bank
 
On April 5, 2011, BCB Bancorp, Inc. (the Company), its wholly owned New Jersey Bank subsidiary, BCB Community Bank and Allegiance Community Bank (“Allegiance”), headquartered in South Orange, New Jersey, jointly announced the signing of an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of April 4, 2011 (the “merger agreement”) pursuant to which Allegiance will merge with and into BCB Community Bank. At December 31, 2010, Allegiance had total assets of approximately $121.3 million, including $84.2 million in loans, and deposits of approximately $100.1 million in two branches in South Orange and Woodbridge, New Jersey. Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of Allegiance common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.35 shares of common stock of the Company, subject to adjustment as disclosed in the merger agreement. The merger is expected to close sometime in the second half of 2011, pending regulatory approvals, approval of the merger agreement by shareholders of Allegiance and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

 Note 3 – Pension and Other Postretirement Plans
 
The Company acquired, through the merger with Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc., a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering all eligible employees of Pamrapo Savings Bank. Effective January 1, 2010, the defined benefit pension plan (“Pension Plan”), was frozen by Pamrapo Savings Bank. All benefits for eligible participants accrued in the “Pension Plan” to the freeze date have been retained. Accordingly, no employees are permitted to commence participation in the Pension Plan and future salary increases and future years of credited service are not considered when computing an employee’s benefits under the Pension Plan. The Pension Plan is funded in conformity with the funding requirements of applicable government regulations. The Company also acquired through the merger with Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. a supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) in which certain former employees of Pamrapo Savings Bank are covered. A SERP is an unfunded non-qualified deferred retirement plan. Participants who retire at the age of 65 ( the “Normal Retirement Age”), are entitled to an annual retirement benefit equal to 75% of compensation reduced by their retirement plan annual benefits. Participants retiring before the Normal Retirement Age receive the same benefits reduced by a percentage based on years of service to the Company and the number of years prior to the Normal Retirement Age that participants retire.

 
 
Periodic pension and SERP cost, which is recorded as part of salaries and employee benefits expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income, is comprised of the following, (In Thousands):

Stock-Based Compensation Plan
 
The Company, under the plan approved by its shareholders on April 28, 2011 (“2011 Stock Plan”), authorized the issuance of up to 900,000 shares of common stock of BCB Bancorp, Inc. pursuant to grants of stock options. Employees and directors of BCB Bancorp, Inc. and BCB Community Bank are eligible to participate in the 2011 Stock Plan. All stock options will be granted in the form of either "incentive" stock options or "non-qualified" stock options. Incentive stock options have certain tax advantages that must comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Only employees are permitted to receive incentive stock options. No grants of stock options have been issued under the 2011 Stock Plan.
 

 
Note 4 – Earnings Per Share
 
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The diluted net income per common share is computed by adjusting the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding to include the effects of outstanding stock options, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the weighted average of outstanding options considered to be anti-dilutive were 180,684 and 230,264, respectively, and were therefore, excluded from diluted net income per common share calculation.

The amortized cost and carrying values shown above are by contractual final maturity. Actual maturities will differ from contractual final maturities due to scheduled monthly payments related to mortgage–backed securities and due to the borrowers having the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, all residential mortgage backed securities held in the portfolio were Government Sponsored Enterprise securities.
 
During the second quarter of 2011, management decided to sell its collateralized mortgage obligations that were issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”). While these securities were classified as held to maturity, ASC 320 (formerly FAS 115) allows sales of securities so designated, provided that a substantial portion (at least 85%) of the principal balance has been amortized prior to the sale. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, proceeds from sales of securities held to maturity totaled approximately $2,438,000 and resulted in gross gains of approximately $25,000 and gross losses of approximately $7,000.
 
There were no sales of securities held to maturity for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Management does not believe that any of the unrealized losses at June 30, 2011, (which are related to one U.S. Government Agency bonds and thirteen residential mortgage-backed securities) represent an other-than-temporary impairment as they are primarily related to market interest rates and not related to the underlying credit quality of the issuers of the securities as all these securities were issued by U.S. Agencies. Additionally, the Company has the ability, and management has the intent, to hold such securities for the time necessary to recover cost and does not have the intent to sell the securities, and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the securities before recovery of their cost.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance on at least a quarterly basis to ensure that the provision for loan losses has been charged against earnings in an amount necessary to maintain the allowance at a level that is adequate based on management’s assessment of probable estimated losses.  The Company’s methodology for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses consists of several key elements.  These elements include a general allocated reserve for impaired loans, a specific reserve for impaired loans and an unallocated portion.  

The Company consistently applies the following comprehensive methodology.  During the quarterly review of the allowance for loan losses, the Company considers a variety of factors that include:
 
 
General economic conditions.

 
Trends in charge-offs.

 
Trends and levels of delinquent loans.

 
Trends and levels of non-performing loans, including loans over 90 days delinquent.

 
Trends in volume and terms of loans.

 
Levels of allowance for specific classified loans.

 
Credit concentrations.

The methodology includes the segregation of the loan portfolio by loans that are performing and loans that are impaired. Loans which are performing are evaluated collectively by loan class or loan type. The allowance for performing loans is evaluated based on historical loan loss experience, including consideration of peer loss analysis, with an adjustment for qualitative factors due to economic conditions in the market. Impaired loans are loans which are 60 days or more delinquent or troubled debt restructured. These loans are individually evaluated for loan loss either by current appraisal, estimated economic factor, or net present value. Management reviews the overall estimate for reasonableness and bases the loan loss provision accordingly.

The portfolio of performing loans is segmented into the following loan types, where the risk level for each type is analyzed when determining the allowance for these loans:

Residential single family real estate loans involve certain risks such as interest rate risk and risk of non-repayment. Adjustable-rate residential family real estate loans decreases the interest rate risk to the Bank that is associated with changes in interest rates but involve other risks, primarily because as interest rates rise, the payment by the borrower rises to the extent permitted by the terms of the loan, thereby increasing the potential for default. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying property may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Repayment risk can be affected by job loss, divorce, illness and personal bankruptcy of the borrower.

Construction lending is generally considered to involve a high risk due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and the effects of the general economic conditions on developers and builders. Moreover, a construction loan can involve additional risks because of the inherent difficulty in estimating both a property’s value at completion of the project and the estimated cost (including interest) of the project. The nature of these loans is such that they are generally difficult to evaluate and monitor. In addition, speculative construction loans to a builder are not necessarily pre-sold and thus pose a greater potential risk to the Bank than construction loans to individuals on their personal residence.

Commercial and multi-family real estate lending entails significant additional risks as compared with residential family property lending. Such loans typically involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. The payment experience on such loans is typically dependent on the successful operation of the real estate project. The success of such projects is sensitive to changes in supply and demand conditions in the market for commercial real estate as well as economic conditions generally.

Commercial business lending is generally considered higher risk due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and the effects of general economic conditions on the business. Commercial business loans are primarily secured by inventories and other business assets. In most cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted commercial business loans will not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance.

Home equity lending entails certain risks such as interest rate risk and risk of non-repayment. The marketability of the underlying property may be adversely affected by higher interest rates, decreasing the collateral securing the loan. Repayment risk can be affected by job loss, divorce, illness and personal bankruptcy of the borrower.

Home equity line of credit lending entails securing an equity interest in the borrower’s home. The risk associated with this type of lending is the marketability of the underlying property may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Repayment risk can be affected by job loss, divorce, illness and personal bankruptcy of the borrower. This type of lending is often priced on an adjustable rate basis with the rate set at or above a predefined index. Adjustable-rate loans decreases the interest rate risk to the Bank that is associated with changes in interest rates but involve other risks, primarily because as interest rates rise, the payment by the borrower rises to the extent permitted by the terms of the loan, thereby increasing the potential for default

Consumer loans generally have more credit risk because of the type and nature of the collateral and, in certain cases, the absence of collateral. Consumer loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than other lending. In addition, consumer lending collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely effected by job loss, divorce, illness and personal bankruptcy. In most cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan will not provide and adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan.

The Company also maintains an unallocated allowance.  The unallocated allowance is used to cover any factors or conditions which may cause a potential loan loss but are not specifically identifiable.  It is prudent to maintain an unallocated portion of the allowance because no matter how detailed an analysis of potential loan losses is performed, these estimates lack some element of precision.  Management must make estimates using assumptions and information that is often subjective and changing rapidly. In addition, as an integral part of their examination process, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation will periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require us to adjust the allowance based on their analysis of information available to it at the time of its examination.

Classified Assets.  The Company’s policies provide for a classification system for problem assets.  Under this classification system, problem assets are classified as “substandard,” “doubtful,” “loss” or “special mention.”  An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by its current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that “some loss” will be sustained if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weakness present makes “collection or liquidation in full” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.”  Assets classified as loss are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted, and the loan, or a portion thereof, is charged-off.  Assets may be designated special mention because of potential weaknesses that do not currently warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories.
 
When the Company classifies problem loans, it may establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management.  General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. A portion of general loss allowances established to cover possible losses related to assets classified as substandard or doubtful may be included in determining our regulatory capital. Specific valuation allowances for loan losses generally do not qualify as regulatory capital. At June 30, 2011, we had no assets classified as loss, $6.4 million in assets classified as doubtful, $40.8 million in assets classified as substandard, and $43.4 million in assets classified as special mention. The loans classified as substandard represent primarily commercial loans secured either by residential real estate, commercial real estate or heavy equipment.  The loans that have been classified substandard were classified as such primarily because either updated financial information has not been timely provided, or the collateral underlying the loan is in the process of being revalued.
 
The Company’s internal credit risk grades are based on the definitions currently utilized by the banking regulatory agencies.  The grades assigned and definitions are as follows, and loans graded excellent, above average, good and watch list (risk ratings 1-4) are treated as “pass” for grading purposes:

5 – Special Mention- Loans currently performing but with potential weaknesses including adverse trends in borrower’s operations, credit quality, financial strength, or possible collateral deficiency.

6 – Substandard- Loans that are inadequately protected by current sound worth, paying capacity, and collateral support. The loan needs special and corrective attention.

7 – Doubtful- Weaknesses in credit quality and collateral support make full collection improbable, but pending reasonable factors remain sufficient to defer the loss status.

8 – Loss- Continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. However, this does not preclude future attempts at partial recovery.
 
In prior quarters, the Company has relied upon peer group historical data in the provision methodology. The current methodology for this calculation is determined with the Company’s specific Historical Loss Percentage (“HLP”) for each loan type, using 2 years of prior bank data (or 8 quarters). The relative weights of prior quarters are decayed logarithmically and are further adjusted based on the trend of the historical loss percentage at the time. Also, instead of applying consistent percentages to each of the credit risk grades, the most recent methodology applies a higher factor to classified loans based on a delinquency risk trend and concentration risk trend by using the past due and non-accrual as a percentage of the specific loan category. The change in methodology has resulted in a shift in the required allowances across loan types with no material change in the total allowance for loan losses. The decrease in commercial doubtful accounts from December 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011 was caused by loans transferred to foreclosure and loans progressing to current status.

Note 8 – Fair Values of Financial Instruments
 
Guidance on fair value measurements 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 and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy 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 only assets or liabilities that the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (In Thousands):

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Note 8 – Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued)


Cash and Cash Equivalents (Carried at Cost)
 
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets’ 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 are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, 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.
 
Loans Held for Sale (Carried at Lower of Cost or Fair Value)
 
The fair value of loans held for sale is determined, when possible, using quoted secondary-market prices. If no such quoted prices exist, the fair value of a loan is determined using quoted prices for a similar loan or loans, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan. Loans held for sale are carried at their cost at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
 
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 in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.
 
Impaired Loans (Generally Carried at Fair Value)
 
A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at the loans observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. 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 of $19,729,000 and $19,724,000, net of a valuation allowance of $2,090,000 and $2,107,000 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
 
Real Estate Owned (Generally Carried at Fair Value)
 
Real Estate Owned is generally carried at fair value, when the carry value is written down to fair value, which is determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or based upon the expected proceeds from a pending sale. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
 
FHLB of New York Stock (Carried at Cost)
 
The carrying amount of restricted investment in bank stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities.
 
Interest Receivable and Payable (Carried at Cost)
 
The carrying amount of interest receivable and interest payable approximates its fair value.
 
Deposits (Carried at Cost)
 
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest 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.
 
Long-Term Debt (Carried at Cost)
 
Fair values of long-term debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new long-term debt with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. These prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
 
Fair values for the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and unused lines of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account, the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of these commitments was deemed immaterial and is not presented in the accompanying table.

Note 9 – New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In April 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring The ASU clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings. It is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings. In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following exist: (a) the restructuring constitutes a concession; and (b) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The amendments to FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 310, Receivables, clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. For public companies, the new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Early application is permitted. Adoption of ASU 2011-02 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) No. 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing: Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. The ASU is intended to improve financial reporting of repurchase agreements (“repos”) and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. In a typical repo transaction, an entity transfers financial assets to a counterparty in exchange for cash with an agreement for the counterparty to return the same or equivalent financial assets for a fixed price in the future. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, prescribes when an entity may or may not recognize a sale upon the transfer of financial assets subject to repo agreements. That determination is based, in part, on whether the entity has maintained effective control over the transferred financial assets. The amendments to the Codification in this ASU are intended to improve the accounting for these transactions by removing from the assessment of effective control the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets. The guidance in the ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption in not permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this update result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. Some of the amendments in this update clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  This update is effective during interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied prospectively and early adoption is not permitted.  The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this update will impact its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income. The ASU eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and will require it be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The single statement format would include the traditional income statement and the components of total other comprehensive income as well as total comprehensive income. In the two statement approach, the first statement would be the traditional income statement which would be immediately followed by a separate statement which includes the components of other comprehensive income, total other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income. The amendments in this ASU will be applied retrospectively. For public companies, they are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On July 6, 2010, the acquisition of Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. was completed. The 100% stock transaction was valued at approximately $38.6 million based on the closing price of BCB Bancorp, Inc. of $7.83 per share. In accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, each share of Pamrapo Bancorp common stock has been converted into 1.00 share of BCB Bancorp’s common stock. BCB Bancorp common stock continues to be listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “BCBP.” Financial information at and for the period ending June 30, 2010 does not include the impact of the Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. merger.
 
Financial Condition
 
Total assets decreased by $6.5 million or 0.59% to $1.10 billion at June 30, 2011 from $1.11 billion at December 31, 2010. The decrease in total assets occurred primarily as a result of a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $47.0 million and loans receivable of $8.1 million partially offset by an increase in securities held to maturity of $52.4 million. Management is concentrating on controlled balance sheet growth and maintaining adequate liquidity in the anticipation of funding loans in the loan pipeline as well as seeking opportunities in the secondary market that provide reasonable returns. During the first half of 2011, the composition of the Bank’s balance sheet shifted out of cash and cash equivalents to investment securities. The initial intention of accumulating liquidity was to explore the possibility of repaying certain wholesale advances in an effort to reduce interest expense. Diligent monitoring of the penalties associated with the early prepayment of these advances proved cost prohibitive. Consequently, management decided to deploy the liquidity into pools of government sponsored enterprise (GSE) mortgage backed securities, providing yields of approximately three hundred fifty basis points higher than the yield on the cash deposits. Investing in mortgage backed securities of intermediate terms of fifteen and twenty years ensures regular cash flow with accelerated amortization over long term investments, thereby positively impacting net interest income, spread, and margin. It is our intention to grow the balance sheet at a measured pace consistent with our capital levels and as business opportunities permit.
 
Total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $47.0 million or 38.8% to $74.1 million at June 30, 2011 from $121.1 million at December 31, 2010. Investment securities classified as held-to-maturity increased by $52.4 million or 31.6% to $218.0 million at June 30, 2011 from $165.6 million at December 31, 2010. This increase in investment securities occurred as a result of purchases of $90.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011, partially offset by call options exercised on $17.3 million of callable agency securities, $17.5 million in repayments and prepayments in the mortgage backed securities portfolio and $2.4 million in sales during the second quarter relating to collateralized mortgage obligations that were issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”). While these securities were classified as held to maturity, ASU 320 (formerly known as FAS115) allows sales of securities so designated, provided that a substantial portion (at least 85%) of the principal balance has been amortized prior to the sale. A net realized gain of approximately $18,000 was recognized as a result of these sale.
 
Loans receivable decreased by $8.1 million or 1.0% to $765.0 million at June 30, 2011 from $773.1 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease resulted primarily from a $16.5 million decrease in real estate mortgages comprising residential, commercial, construction and participation loans with other financial institution and a $6.1 million decrease in consumer loans, net of amortization, partially offset by a $14.7 million increase in commercial loans comprising business loans and commercial lines of credit, net of amortization, partially offset by a $299,000 increase in the allowance for loan losses. The balance in the loan pipeline as of June 30, 2011 stood at $91.3 million. At June 30, 2011, the allowance for loan losses was $8.7 million or 20.5% of non-performing loans. As a result of the loans acquired in the business combination transaction being recorded at their fair value, the balance in the allowance for loan losses that was on the balance sheet of the former Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc., was not carried over in the allowance balance previously discussed. However, at June 30, 2011, the amount which represents the non-accretible yield on loans acquired in the Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. merger totaled approximately $6.9 million and is recorded as a negative adjustment to loans receivable.
 
Deposit liabilities decreased by $8.7 million or 0.98% to $877.6 million at June 30, 2011 from $886.3 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease resulted primarily from a $14.6 million decrease in time deposit accounts, partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in the savings and club accounts and $3.3 million increase in transaction accounts. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has continued its low short term interest rate policy. Since the Bank predicates its retail deposit pricing on market conditions and the current competitive environment, the present low interest rate environment lends itself to lower time deposit yields, and reduced interest expense.
 
The balance of borrowed money remained constant at $114.1 million for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The purpose of the borrowings reflects the use of long term Federal Home Loan Bank advances to augment deposits as the Bank’s funding source for originating loans and investing in GSE investment securities.
 
Stockholders’ equity increased by $538,000 or 0.5% to $99.5 million at June 30, 2011 from $99.0 million at December 31, 2010. The increase in stockholders’ equity is primarily attributable to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 of $3.9 million, a $207,000 increase resulting from the exercise of stock options totaling 25,581 shares and a $130,000 increase in the market value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio, net of tax, partially offset by the payment of two quarterly cash dividends totaling $2.3 million representing two $0.12 per share payments during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $1.4 million paid to repurchase 130,634 shares of the Company’s common stock. At June 30, 2011, the Bank’s Tier 1, Tier 1 Risk-Based and Total Risk Based Capital Ratios were 9.34%, 16.27% and 17.30% respectively.

Results of Operations--Three Months of Operations
 
Net income increased by $1.03 million or 111.7% to $1.95 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $922,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net income was due to increases in net interest income and non-interest income, partially offset by increases in the provision for loan losses, non-interest expense and income tax provision. Net interest income increased by $5.19 million or 110.7% to $9.88 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $4.69 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net interest income resulted primarily from an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $450.4 million or 71.6% to $1.08 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $628.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, while the average yield on interest earning assets remained static for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 at 4.91%. The average balance of interest bearing liabilities increased by $370.6 million or 67.1% to $923.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $552.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and the average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased by seventy-three basis points to 1.46% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 2.19% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. As a consequence of the aforementioned, our net interest margin increased to 3.66% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 2.98% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in the average balance of interest earning assets and the average balance of interest bearing liabilities is primarily attributable to the completion of the business combination transaction with Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. on July 6, 2010.
 
 Interest income on loans receivable increased by $4.72 million or 74.1% to $11.09 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $6.37 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of loans receivable of $384.9 million or 96.4% to $784.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $399.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on loans receivable to 5.66% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 6.38% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in the average balance of loans is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. The decrease in average yield reflects the competitive price environment prevalent in the Bank’s primary market area on loan facilities as well as the repricing downward of variable rate loans. Further, as the average yield on the loans acquired in the business combination transaction with Pamrapo Bancorp Inc., were less than that of BCB Bancorp, Inc., as a stand-alone institution, the combination of both portfolios decreased the composite yield accordingly.
 
Interest income on securities increased by $814,000 or 61.3% to $2.14 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $1.33 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of securities held-to-maturity of $94.5 million or 67.2% to $235.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $140.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield of securities held-to-maturity to 3.64% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 3.78% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.The decrease in the average yield resulted from the replacement of higher yielding callable agency securities previously purchased whose call options were exercised by the issuing agencies with lower yielding mortgage backed securities purchased presently in the prevalent interest rate environment. The increase in the average balance of securities is primarily attributable to the completion of the acquisition of Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc.
 
Interest income on other interest-earning assets decreased by $3,000 or 14.3% to $18,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $21,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $29.0 million or 32.6% in the average balance of other interest-earning assets to $59.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $88.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The average yield on other interest-earning assets increased slightly to 0.12% for the three months ended June 30, 2011from 0.10% for the three month ended June 30, 2010. The static nature of the average yield on other interest earning assets reflects the current philosophy by the FOMC of keeping short term interest rates at historically low levels. The increase in the average balance of other interest earning assets is primarily attributable to the completion of the acquisition of Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc.
 
Total interest expense increased by $341,000 or 11.3% to $3.37 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $3.03 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in the balance of average interest bearing liabilities of $370.6 million or 67.1% to $923.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $552.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, partially offset by a decrease in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities of seventy-three basis points to 1.46% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 2.19% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in the balance of average interest bearing liabilities is primarily attributable to the completion of the acquisition of Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. The decrease in the average cost reflects the Company’s reaction to the prolonged low short term interest rate environment and our ability to reduce our pricing on a select number of retail deposit products.
 
The provision for loan losses totaled $450,000 and $300,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The provision for loan losses is established based upon management’s review of the Bank’s loans and consideration of a variety of factors including, but not limited to, (1) the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, (2) current economic conditions, (3) actual losses previously experienced, (4) the dynamic activity and fluctuating balance of loans receivable, and (5) the existing level of reserves for loan losses that are probable and estimable. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Bank experienced $121,000 in net charge-offs, (consisting of $146,000 in charge-offs and $25,000 in recoveries). During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Bank experienced $163,000 in net charge-offs, (consisting of $163,000 in charge-offs and no recoveries). The Bank had non-performing loans totaling $42.5 million or 5.49% of gross loans at June 30, 2011, $43.1 million or 5.57% of gross loans at March 31, 2011, $41.8 million or 5.35% of gross loans at December 31, 2010 and $12.5 million or 3.14% of gross loans at June 30, 2010. The increase in non-performing loans resulted primarily from the acquisition of Pamrapo Bancorp. The allowance for loan losses was $8.7 million or 1.13% of gross loans at June 30, 2011, $8.4 million or 1.08% of gross loans at March 31, 2011and $6.8 million or 1.71% of gross loans at June 30, 2010. The carrying value of the loans acquired from Pamrapo was $343.9 million at June 30, 2011. These loans were the primary reason for the decrease in the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to gross loans from June 30, 2010 as there was no carryover of the historical Pamrapo allowance for credit losses related to these loans. However, the amount which represents the non-accretible difference on loans acquired in the Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. merger totaled approximately $6.9 million and is recorded as a reduction of loans receivable. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates. Management assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and makes provisions for loan losses as necessary in order to maintain the adequacy of the allowance. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future loan loss provisions may be necessary based on changes in the aforementioned criteria. In addition various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require the Bank to recognize additional provisions based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate at June 30, 2011, March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010.
 
Total non-interest income increased by $125,000 or 41.1% to $429,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $304,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in non-interest income resulted primarily from an increase of $170,000 or 303.6% in gain on sale of loans originated for sale to $226,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $56,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in gain on sale of loans originated for sale occurred primarily as a result of the sales of SBA loans which totaled $190,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to no such gain recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2010, partially offset by a decrease of $20,000 in gain on sales of one-four family loans compared to June 30, 2010. There were also an increase of $18,000 in gain on sales of securities held to maturity, compared to no such sales during the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $14,000 or a 175.0% increase in other non-interest income to $22,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $8,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $3,000 or a 1.32% increase in fees and service charges to $243,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $ $240,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The aforementioned increases were partially offset by a $80,000 loss on the sale of certain REO properties for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to no such recorded loss for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Total non-interest expense increased by $3.38 million or 106.3% to $6.56 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $3.18 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Unless specified otherwise, the increase in the categories of non-interest expense occurred primarily as a result of the acquisition of Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc.  Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $1.5 million or 107.1% to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This increase occurred primarily as the result of an increase in the number of full time equivalent employees to 168 at June 30, 2011, from 86 at June 30, 2010. Occupancy expense increased by $450,000 or 164.8% to $723,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $273,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Equipment expense increased by $532,000 or 99.3% to $1.07 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $536,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The primary component of this expense item is data service provider expense which increases with the growth in the Bank’s assets.

Professional fees increased by $197,000 or 323.0% to $258,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $61,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Directors’ fees increased by $72,000 or 66.7% to $180,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $108,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Regulatory assessments increased by $166,000 or 87.8% to $355,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $189,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Advertising expense increased by $35,000 or 49.3% to $106,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $71,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Merger related expenses increased by $112,000 or 77.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $144,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in merger related expenses is primarily related to the merger transaction with Allegiance Community Bank, headquartered in South Orange, New Jersey. It is anticipated that this transaction will be consummated during the second half of 2011. Other non-interest expense increased by $317,000 or 80.5% to $711,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $394,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in other expenses occurred primarily as a result of an increase in loan expense and fees associated with the collection process on certain delinquent loan facilities. Additionally, other non-interest expense is also comprised of stationary, forms and printing, check printing, correspondent bank fees, telephone and communication, shareholder relations and other fees and expenses.
 
Income taxes increased by $758,000 or 127.6% to $1.35 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $594,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting increased taxable income during the three month period ended June 30, 2011. Net income increased substantially in the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, primarily as a result of the increase in the size of the Company’s balance sheet which was attributable to the business combination transaction with the Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. The consolidated effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was 40.9% compared to 39.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Six Months of Operations

Net income increased by $2.23 million or 136.0% to $3.87 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $1.64 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net income was due to increases in net interest income and non-interest income, partially offset by increases in the provision for loan losses, non-interest expense and income tax provision. Net interest income increased by $10.12 million or 107.3% to $19.55 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $9.43 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase in net interest income resulted primarily from an increase of $457.1 million or 73.2% in the average balance of interest earning assets to $1.082 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $624.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on interest earning assets to 4.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 5.02% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The average balance of interest bearing liabilities increased by $377.6 million or 68.7% to $926.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $549.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, while the average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased to 1.46% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 2.27% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. As a consequence of the aforementioned, our net interest margin increased to 3.62% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 3.02% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in the average balance of interest earning assets and the average balance of interest bearing liabilities is primarily attributable to the completion of the business combination transaction with Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc.

Interest income on loans receivable increased by $9.54 million or 74.5% to $22.35 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $12.81 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of loans receivable of $386.8 million or 96.1% to $789.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $402.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on loans receivable to 5.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 6.36% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in the average balance of loans is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. The decrease in average yield reflects the competitive price environment prevalent in the Bank’s primary market area on loan facilities as well as the repricing downward of variable rate loans. Further, as the average yield on the loans acquired in the business combination transaction with Pamrapo Bancorp Inc., was lower than that of BCB Bancorp, Inc., as a stand-alone institution, the combination of both portfolios decreased the composite yield accordingly.
 
Interest income on securities increased by $1.08 million or 38.2% to $3.91 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $2.83 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of securities held-to-maturity of $77.5 million or 55.0% to $218.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $141.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield of securities held-to-maturity to 3.58% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 4.02% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in the average yield resulted from the replacement of higher yielding callable agency securities previously purchased whose call options were exercised by the issuing agencies with lower yielding mortgage backed securities purchased presently in the prevalent interest rate environment. The increase in the average balance in securities is primarily attributable to the completion of the acquisition of Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc.

Interest income on other interest-earning assets increased by $6,000 or 15.0% to $46,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $40,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average yield on other interest-earning assets to 0.12% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 0.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, offset by a decrease of $7.1 million or 8.8% in the average balance of other interest-earning assets to $73.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $81.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in the average balance primarily reflects management’s philosophy to deploy its liquid assets for loan closings and investment security purchase opportunities at higher yields than are currently available in money market deposits.
 
Total interest expense increased by $505,000 or 8.1% to $6.75 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $6.25 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in the balance of average interest bearing liabilities of $377.6 million or 68.7% to $926.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $549.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, partially offset by a decrease in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities of eighty-one basis points to 1.46% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 2.27% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in the balance of average interest bearing liabilities is primarily attributable to the completion of the acquisition of Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. The decrease in the average cost reflects the low short term interest rate environment and our ability to reduce our pricing on a select number of retail deposit products.
 
The provision for loan losses totaled $800,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $750,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The provision for loan losses is established based upon management’s review of the Bank’s loans and consideration of a variety of factors including, but not limited to, (1) the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, (2) current economic conditions, (3) actual losses previously experienced, (4) the dynamic activity and fluctuating balance of loans receivable, and (5) the existing level of reserves for loan losses that are probable and estimable. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Bank experienced $501,000 in net charge-offs (consisting of $526,000 in charge-offs and $25,000 in recoveries). During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Bank experienced $597,000 in net charge-offs (consisting of $610,000 in charge-offs and $13,000 in recoveries). The Bank had non-performing loans totaling $42.5 million or 5.49% of gross loans at June 30, 2011, $41.8 million or 5.35% of gross loans at December 31, 2010 and $12.5 million or 3.14% of gross loans at June 30, 2010. The increase in non-performing loans resulted primarily from the acquisition of Pamrapo Bancorp. The allowance for loan losses was $8.7 million or 1.13% of gross loans at June 30, 2011, $8.4 million or 1.08% of gross loans at December 31, 2010 and $6.8 million or 1.71% of gross loans at June 30, 2010. The carrying value of the loans acquired from Pamrapo was $343.9 million at June 30, 2011. These loans were the primary reason for the decrease in the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to gross loans from June 30, 2010 as there was no carryover of the historical Pamrapo allowance for credit losses related to these loans. However, the amount which represents the non-accretible difference on loans acquired in the Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. merger totaled approximately $6.9 million and is recorded as a reduction of loans receivable. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates. Management assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and makes provisions for loan losses as necessary in order to maintain the adequacy of the allowance. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future loan loss provisions may be necessary based on changes in the aforementioned criteria. In addition various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require the Bank to recognize additional provisions based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate at June 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010.

Total non-interest income increased by $361,000 or 66.2% to $906,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $545,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in non-interest income resulted primarily from an increase of $276,000 or 215.6% in gain on sale of loans originated for sale to $404,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $128,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in gain on sale of loans originated for sale occurred primarily as a result of the sale of SBA loans which totaled $281,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to no such gain recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2010, partially offset by a decrease of $5,000 in gain on sale of one-four family loans compared to June 30, 2010. Gain on sale of securities held to maturity increased by $18,000 to $18,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from no such amount for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Other non-interest income increased by $141,000 or 829.4% to $158,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $17,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily as a result of a $117,000 recovery of legal fees from the insurance company pertaining to Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. litigation issues. Fees and service charges increased by $62,000 or 15.5% to $462,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $ $400,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The aforementioned increases were partially offset by a $136,000 loss on the sale of certain REO properties for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to no related loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Total non-interest expense increased by $6.76 million or 106.3% to $13.21 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $6.45 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Unless specified otherwise, the increase in the categories of non-interest expense occurred primarily as a result of the acquisition of Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $3.14 million or 113.4% to $5.91 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $2.77 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase occurred primarily as the result of an increase in the number of full time equivalent employees to 168 at June 30, 2011, from 86 at June 30, 2010. Occupancy expense increased by $942,000 or 168.2% to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $560,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Equipment expense increased by $1.0 million or 91.7% to $2.09 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $1.09 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The primary component of this expense item is data service provider expense which increases with the growth of the Bank’s assets. Professional fees increased by $268,000 or 138.9% to $461,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $193,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Director fees increased by $85,000 or 39.7% to $299,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $214,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Regulatory assessments increased by $431,000 or 119.1% to $793,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $362,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Advertising expense increased by $40,000 or 29.0% to $178,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $138,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Merger related expenses decreased by $88,000 or 25.6% to $256,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $344,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Higher expenses were incurred related to the successful completion of the merger transaction with Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. as compared to expenses incurred for the merger transaction with Allegiance Community Bank, headquartered in South Orange, New Jersey. It is anticipated that the Allegiance transaction will be consummated during the second half of 2011. Other non-interest expense increased by $946,000 or 121.8% to $1.72 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $777,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in other expenses occurred primarily as a result of an increase in loan expense and fees associated with the collection process on certain delinquent loan facilities. Additionally, other non-interest expense is also comprised of stationary, forms and printing, check printing, correspondent bank fees, telephone and communication, shareholder relations and other fees and expenses.

Income tax expense increased by $1.44 million or 126.3% to $2.58 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $1.14 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting increased taxable income during the six month period ended June 30, 2011. Net income before taxes increased substantially in the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily as a result of the increase in the size of the Company’s balance sheet which was attributable to the business combination transaction with the Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. The consolidated effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 40.0% compared to 41.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Management of Market Risk
 
General. The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, one of our most significant forms of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, our Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Committee which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. Senior management monitors the level of interest rate risk on a regular basis and the Asset/Liability Committee, which consists of senior management and outside directors operating under a policy adopted by the Board of Directors, meets as needed to review our asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position.
 
The following table presents the Company’s net portfolio value (“NPV”). These calculations were based upon assumptions believed to be fundamentally sound, although they may vary from assumptions utilized by other financial institutions. The information set forth below is based on data that included all financial instruments as of June 30, 2011. Assumptions have been made by the Company relating to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, core deposit duration, and the market values of certain assets and liabilities under the various interest rate scenarios. Actual maturity dates were used for fixed rate loans and certificate accounts. Investment securities were scheduled at either the maturity date or the next scheduled call date based upon management’s judgment of whether the particular security would be called in the current interest rate environment and under assumed interest rate scenarios. Variable rate loans were scheduled as of their next scheduled interest rate repricing date. Additional assumptions made in the preparation of the NPV table include prepayment rates on loans and mortgage-backed securities, core deposits without stated maturity dates were scheduled with an assumed term of 48 months, and money market and non-interest bearing accounts were scheduled with an assumed term of 24 months. The NPV at “PAR” represents the difference between the Company’s estimated value of assets and estimated value of liabilities assuming no change in interest rates. The NPV for a decrease of 100 to 300 basis points has been excluded since it would not be meaningful, in the interest rate environment as of June 30, 2011. The following sets forth the Company’s NPV as of that date.

The table above indicates that at June 30, 2011, in the event of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 5.23% decrease in NPV.
 
Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurement. Modeling changes in NPV require making 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 table presented assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the NPV table provides an indication of our 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 our net interest income, and will differ from actual results.
