See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 4 BCB Bancorp Inc., and Subsidiary 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, Bayonne Community Bank (the "Bank"), BCB Holding Company Investment Corp., (the "Investment Company") a New Jersey Investment Company, and BCB Equipment Leasing Company. 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, 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, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 or any other future interim period. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2004, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS The Company provides dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share utilizes reported net income as the numerator and the actual average shares outstanding as the denominator. Diluted earnings per share includes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. The Company, under plans approved by its stockholders in 2003 and 2002, has granted stock options to employees and outside directors. The Company accounts for options granted using the intrinsic value method, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB), Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations. No compensation expense has been reflected in net income for the options granted as all such grants have an exercise price equal to the market price of the underlying stock at the date of the grant. The following table provides information as to net income and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", as amended, to all option grants. 5

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 123 (revised), "Share-Based Payment." Statement No. 123 (revised) replaces Statement No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. Statement No. 123 (revised) requires compensation costs related to share based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. Public companies are required to adopt the new standard using a modified prospective method and may elect to restate prior periods using the modified retrospective method. Under the modified prospective method, companies are required to record compensation cost for new and modified awards over the related vesting period of such awards prospectively and record compensation cost prospectively for the unvested portion at the date of adoption, of previously issued and outstanding awards over the remaining vesting period of such awards. No change to prior periods presented is permitted under the modified prospective method. Under the modified retrospective method, companies record compensation costs for prior periods retroactively through restatement of such periods using the exact pro forma amounts disclosed in the companies' footnotes. Also, in the period of adoption and after, companies record compensation cost based on the modified prospective method. On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted a new rule that amends the compliance dates for Statement No. 123 (revised). Under the new rule, the Company is required to adopt Statement No. 123 (revised) in the first annual period 6 beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company has not yet determined the method of adoption or the effect of adopting Statement No. 123 (revised), and it has not determined whether the adoption will result in amounts that are similar to the current pro forma disclosures under Statement No. 123. Early application of Statement No. 123 (revised) is encouraged, but not required. NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS In June 2004, the Company participated in the issuance of a Pooled Trust Preferred Security in the amount of $4.1 million. The primary purpose for the Company's participation in the issuance of this instrument was an effort to augment capital including Tier 1 capital, thereby allowing additional growth of the Company's assets without diluting present shareholder percentage ownership. The Investment Company commenced operations in January 2005. Under New Jersey tax law, the Investment Company is subject to a 3.6% state income tax rate as compared to the 9.0% rate to which the Company and the Bank are subject. The Investment Company was brought into existence in order to reduce the overall tax burden of the consolidated Company. The presence of the Investment Company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 resulted in an income tax savings of approximately $53,000 and $104,000 respectively. On April 27, 2005, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had approved a stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to 5% of the Company's outstanding common stock equal to approximately 150,000 shares. The repurchase will be made from time to time as market conditions warrant. Through June 30, 2005, a total of 21,982 shares of Company common stock were repurchased. 7 ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial Condition Total assets increased by $20.8 million or 5.5% to $399.1 million at June 30, 2005 from $378.3 million at December 31, 2004 as the Bank continued to grow assets primarily through the origination of real estate loans funded primarily through cash flow provided by retail deposit growth, repayments and prepayments of loans as well as the mortgage backed security portfolio and the utilization of Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Asset growth has stabilized as management is concentrating on controlled loan growth as opposed to increasing assets through the purchase of investments. Growth is expected to occur at a more measured pace then in the past and in a manner consistent with our capital levels. Total cash and cash equivalents increased by $586,000 or 12.9% to $5.1 million at June 30, 2005 from $4.5 million at December 31, 2004. Securities classified as held-to-maturity decreased by $9.0 million or 7.7% to $108.0 million at June 30, 2005 from $117.0 million at December 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily attributable to call options exercised on $18.8 million of callable agency securities, sales of $6.0 million of callable agency securities and $1.3 million of mortgage backed securities and $3.2 million of repayments and prepayments in the mortgage backed security portfolio, partially offset by the purchase of $20.3 million of callable agency securities during the six months ended June 30, 2005. As the Company's securities are exclusively categorized as held-to-maturity, the Bank relied on an explanatory portion of FASB 115 to engage in the specific sales of agency securities. Specifically, FASB 115 recognizes sales of debt securities that meet either of the following two conditions as maturities for purposes of the classification of securities. a. The sale of a security occurs near enough to its maturity date (or call date if exercise of the call is probable) that interest rate risk is substantially eliminated as a pricing factor. That is, the date of sale is so near the maturity or call date (for example, within three months) that changes in market interest rates would not have a significant effect on the security's fair value. b. The sale of a security occurs after the enterprise has already collected a substantial portion (at least 85 percent) of the principal outstanding at acquisition due either to prepayments on the debt security or to scheduled payments on a debt security payable in equal installments (both principal and interest) over its term. In the case of the sale of the agency debt securities, FASB 115 was satisfied because the sale of the debt securities occurred near enough to their call date, with the call being 8 probable, that interest rate risk was substantially eliminated. In the case of the sale of the mortgage backed securities, a substantial portion, (over 85 percent), of the principal outstanding at acquisition had been collected. Loans receivable increased by $29.0 million or 11.8% to $275.4 million at June 30, 2005 from $246.4 million at December 31, 2004. The increase resulted primarily from a $25.8 million or 11.3% increase in real estate mortgages comprising residential, commercial and construction loans, net of amortization, and a $3.9 million or 18.2% increase in consumer loans, net of amortization, partially offset by a $485,000 or 19.4% increase in the allowance for loan losses to $3.0 million at June 30, 2005. Deposits increased by $12.4 million or 3.7% to $349.6 million at June 30, 2005 from $337.2 million at December 31, 2004. The increase resulted primarily from an increase during the six months ended June 30, 2005 of $21.6 million in time deposit accounts and an increase of $3.8 million in transaction accounts, partially offset by a $13.0 million decrease in savings and club accounts as the Bank has experienced some deposit flow from lower cost savings and club balances to higher cost time deposits. Time deposit rates have increased during the six months ended June 30, 2005 reflecting the increase in short term market interest rates. The Bank has been able to achieve the growth in deposits through competitive pricing on select deposit products. Borrowed money increased by $6.3 million or 44.7% to $20.4 million at June 30, 2005 from $14.1 million at December 31, 2004. The increase in borrowings reflects the use of Federal Home Loan Bank advances to augment deposits as the Bank's funding source for originating loans. Stockholders' equity increased by $2.0 million or 7.7% to $28.0 million at June 30, 2005 from $26.0 million at December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 of $2.4 million partially offset by $422,000 utilized to repurchase 21,982 shares of common stock under the Company's stock repurchase plan. At June 30, 2005 the Bank's Tier 1, Tier 1 Risk-Based and Total Risk Based Capital Ratios were 8.16%, 12.12% and 13.24% respectively. Results of Operations Three Months Net income increased by $439,000 or 57.0% to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $770,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in net income was due to increases in net interest income and non-interest income and a decrease in non-interest expense partially offset by increases in the provision for loan losses and income taxes. Net interest income increased by $588,000 or 17.3% to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in average interest earning assets of $46.5 million or 13.6% to $388.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $341.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, funded primarily through an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $37.1 million or 9 12.2% to $342.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $305.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in net interest income was also aided by an increase in the net interest margin to 4.10% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from 3.97% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Interest income on loans receivable increased by $1.0 million or 27.8% to $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average loans receivable of $52.7 million or 24.3% to $269.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $216.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, and an increase in the average yield on loans receivable to 6.87% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from 6.66% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in average loans reflects management's philosophy to deploy funds in higher yielding instruments, specifically commercial real estate loans, in an effort to achieve higher returns. The increase in average yield reflects higher yields on loans having interest rates which are based on short-term indices such as the prime rate. Interest income on securities held-to-maturity increased by $54,000 or 3.8% to $1.47 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $1.42 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of securities held-to-maturity of $10.7 million or 10.2% to $115.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $105.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on securities held-to-maturity to 5.09% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from 5.40% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in average yield reflects the lower interest rate environment for securities in 2005 as compared to 2004. The increase in average balance reflects management's philosophy to deploy funds in investments, absent an opportunity to originate higher yielding loans, in an effort to achieve higher returns. Interest income on other interest-earning assets decreased by $35,000 or 89.7% to $4,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $39,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This decrease was primarily due to a $17.0 million or 84.6% decrease in the average balance of other interest-earning assets to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $20.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and a decrease in the average yield on other interest-earning assets to 0.51% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from 0.78% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in average balance reflects management's philosophy to deploy funds in higher yielding instruments such as commercial real estate loans and securities in an effort to achieve higher returns. Total interest expense increased by $449,000 or 26.9% to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $37.1 million or 12.2% to $342.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $305.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, and an increase in the average 10 cost of interest bearing liabilities to 2.48% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from 2.19% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The provision for loan losses totaled $300,000 and $150,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, 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) significant level of loan growth and (5) the existing level of reserves for loan losses that are probable and estimable. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Bank recorded no charge-offs. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Bank recorded $219,000 in loan charge-offs related to the foreclosure of five loans, which were resolved by the Bank taking ownership of the underlying collateral. The Bank had non-performing loans totaling $1.17 million or 0.42% of gross loans at June 30, 2005, $352,000 or 0.13% of gross loans at March 31, 2005 and $386,000 or 0.17% of gross loans at June 30, 2004. The allowance for loan losses was $3.0 million or 1.07% of gross loans at June 30, 2005, $2.7 million or 1.01% of gross loans at March 31, 2005 and $2.2 million or 1.01% of gross loans at June 30, 2004. 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, 2005, March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2004. Total non-interest income increased by $91,000 to $226,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $135,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in non-interest income resulted primarily from a $56,000 decrease in losses on the sale of non-performing loans as the Bank did not sell any non-performing loans or record any gain or loss therefrom during the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to a $56,000 loss recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2004, and increases of $28,000 on gain on sale of securities and $10,000 on gains on sale of loans originated for sale. The aforementioned gain on sale of securities was accomplished from securities originally designated as held-to-maturity. Because of certain language located in the text of FASB 115 specified earlier allows for the sale of securities designated as held-to-maturity if certain criteria are met, management undertook the research necessary to make their determination that such sales were permitted. Upon scrutiny of the text and concurrence and confirmation with the Company's independent external auditor, the allowable transactions were consummated. Total non-interest expense decreased by $121,000 or 5.8% to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. 11 The decrease in the three-month period in 2005 was primarily due to a decrease of $199,000 or 38.8% in other non-interest expense to $314,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $513,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Other non-interest expense is comprised of director fees, stationary, forms and printing, professional fees, legal fees, check printing, correspondent bank fees, telephone and communication, shareholder relations and other fees and expenses. The decrease in other non-interest expense is primarily attributable to decreased legal, professional and shareholder relation expense, as the Company incurred expenses associated with a contested proxy contest initiated by an opposing slate of directors during the three months ended June 30, 2004. No such additional expenses were incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2005. All other categories of non-interest expenses increased $78,000 or 4.9% to $1.66 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $1.58 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Income tax expense increased $211,000 to $723,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $512,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 reflecting increased pre-tax income earned during the three month time period ended June 30, 2005 partially offset by the formation of BCB Holding Company Investment Corp., (the Investment Company"). The Investment Company, a New Jersey Investment Company wholly owned by the Bank, is subject to a state income tax rate of 3.6% as compared to the 9.0% rate paid by the Company and the Bank. The Investment Company was funded by a transfer of securities from the Bank. The utilization of the Investment Company to hold investments during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 reduced consolidated income tax expenses by approximately $53,000 and reduced the consolidated effective income tax rate to 37.4% as compared to 39.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Six Months of Operations Net income increased by $884,000 or 60.1% to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in net income is due to increases in net interest income and non-interest income and a decrease in non-interest expense, partially offset by increases in the provision for loan losses and income taxes. Net interest income increased by $1.2 million or 18.5% to $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase resulted primarily from and an increase in average interest earning assets of $56.0 million or 17.2% to $380.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $324.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 funded primarily through an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $46.0 million or 15.8% to $336.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $290.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in net interest income was also aided by an increase in the net interest margin to 4.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 4.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Interest income on loans receivable increased by $2.0 million or 29.0% to $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average loans 12 receivable of $56.3 million or 27.3% to $262.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $206.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, and an increase in the average yield on loans receivable to 6.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 6.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in average loans reflects management's philosophy to deploy funds in higher yielding instruments, specifically commercial real estate loans, in an effort to achieve higher returns. Interest income on securities held-to-maturity increased by $197,000 or 7.3% to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of securities held-to-maturity of $14.7 million or 14.7% to $114.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $99.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on securities held-to-maturity to 5.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 5.43% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in average balance reflects management's philosophy to deploy funds in investments absent the opportunity to invest in higher yielding loans in an effort to achieve higher returns. The decrease in average yield reflects the lower interest rate environment for investment securities in 2005 as compared to 2004. Interest income on other interest-earning assets decreased by $56,000 or 80.0% to $14,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $70,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $14.9 million or 80.5% in the average balance of other interest-earning assets to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $18.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 partially offset by a slight increase in the average yield on other interest-earning assets to 0.77% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 0.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in average balance reflects management's philosophy to deploy funds in higher yielding instruments such as commercial real estate loans and securities in an effort to achieve higher returns. Total interest expense increased by $902,000 or 28.6% to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $46.0 million or 15.8% to $336.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $290.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, and an increase in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities to 2.41% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 2.17% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The provision for loan losses totaled $560,000 and $350,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, 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) significant level of loan growth and (5) the existing level of reserves for loan losses that are probable and estimable. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Bank recorded $75,000 in net loan charge-offs. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Bank recorded 13 $219,000 in loan charge-offs related to the foreclosure of five loans, which were resolved by the Bank taking ownership of the underlying loan collateral. The Bank had non-performing loans totaling $1.17 million or 0.42% of gross loans at June 30, 2005, $1.01 million or 0.40% of gross loans at December 31, 2004 and $386,000 or 0.17% of gross loans at June 30, 2004. The allowance for loan losses was $3.0 million or 1.07% of gross loans at June 30, 2005, $2.5 million or 1.01% of gross loans at December 31, 2004 and $2.2 million or 1.01% of gross loans at June 30, 2004.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate at June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004. Total non-interest income increased by $114,000 to $402,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $288,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in non-interest income resulted primarily from a $56,000 decrease on sales of non-performing loans as the Bank did not sell any such loans or record any gain or loss therefrom during the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to a $56,000 loss recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2004, and increases of $28,000 on gain on sale of securities and $42,000 on gains on sale of loans originated for sale, partially offset by a $13,000 decrease in fees and service charges for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The aforementioned gain on sale of securities was accomplished from securities originally designated as held-to-maturity. Because of certain language located in the text of FASB 115 specified earlier allows for the sale of securities designated as held-to-maturity if certain criteria are met, management undertook the research necessary to make their determination that such sales were permitted.

The decrease in the six-month period in 2005 was primarily due to a decrease of $286,000 or 31.5% in other non-interest expense. Other non-interest expense is comprised of director fees, stationary, forms and printing, professional fees, legal fees, check printing, correspondent bank fees, telephone and communication, shareholder relations and other fees and expenses.

Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Market Risk Management of Market Risk General. The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, one of 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 March 31, 2005, the latest data for which this information is available. 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 were made in 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 noninterest 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 300 basis points has been excluded since it would not be meaningful, in the interest rate environment as of March 31, 2005. The following sets forth the Company's NPV as of March 31, 2005.
NPV as a % of Assets Change in Net Portfolio $ Change from % Change from -------------------- Calculation Value PAR PAR NPV Ratio Change - ----------- ----- --- --- --------- ------ +300bp $33,322 $(22,229) -40.02% 9.49% -472 bps +200bp 41,980 (13,571) -24.43 11.55 -267 bps +100bp 49,381 (6,170) -11.11 13.10 -111 bps PAR 55,551 -- -- 14.21 ---- bps - -100bp 55,217 (334) -0.60 13.83 -38 bps - -200bp 52,613 (2,938) -5.29 12.96 -125 bps bp - basis points
16 The table above indicates that at March 31, 2005, in the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a 0.60% decrease in NPV. In the event of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience an 11.11% 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 rate 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. 17 ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 18 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS None. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS AND STOCK REPURCHASES Securities sold within the past three years without registering the securities under the Securities Act of 1933 On June 17, 2004 the Company sold $4.1 million in debentures in connection with its participation in a pooled trust preferred offering. The proceeds of the offering were used to fund asset growth and qualify as regulatory capital. The Company has not sold any securities during the past three years. In connection with the Plan of Acquisition completed on May 1, 2003 the Bank reorganized into the holding company form of ownership and each share of Bank common stock became a share of Company common stock. No new capital was received in the reorganization. Lastly, the Company announced a stock repurchase plan which provides for the purchase of up to 149,677 shares. The Company's stock repurchases during the last three months are as follows:
Shares Average Total Number of Maximum Number of Shares Period Purchased Price Shares Purchased That May Yet be Purchased - ------ --------- ----- ---------------- ------------------------- 4/1 - 4/30 ----------- ----- ------------- 149,677 5/1 -5/31 10,608 $19.21 10,608 139,069 6/1 -6/30 11,374 $19.22 11,374 127,695
