Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

The independent auditor of Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), Radics & Co., LLC (“Radics”), has merged with Beard Miller Company LLP as of April 1, 2005. As a result of this merger, on April 1, 2005, Radics resigned as independent auditors of the Company. On April 1, 2005, the Company engaged Beard Miller as its successor independent audit firm. The Company’s engagement of Beard Miller has been approved by the Company’s Audit Committee.

 

The reports of Radics on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, and December 31, 2003, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and during the interim period from December 31, 2004 to April 1, 2005, in connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements for such periods there were no disagreements between the Company and Radics on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Radics, would have caused Radics to make reference to such matter in connection with its audit reports on Company’s financial statements.

 

The Company has provided Radics with a copy of the above disclosures in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K in conjunction with the filing of this Form 8-K. The Company requested that Radics deliver to the Company a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K, and if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of Radics letter is filed as Exhibit 16 hereto.
