Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Trustees

Pamrapo Savings Bank, S.L.A. 401(k) Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of Pamrapo Savings Bank, S.L.A. 401(k) Savings Plan (“the Plan”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2005 and reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 2005 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplementary schedules are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplementary schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2005

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

Investments are stated at fair value. Quoted market prices as of the last business day of December are used to value the Plan’s investment in common stock and mutual fund shares. The asset allocation fund shares are valued as of the last business day of December at the respective net asset values as reported by the underlying funds. The underlying funds of the Stable Value Fund are benefit-responsive investment contracts at contract value, which approximates fair value. The Plan’s investment in money market and cash accounts are stated at the contract amount which approximates fair value. Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximates fair value.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Benefit payments are recorded upon distribution and include applicable income tax withholdings.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following brief description of the provisions of the Plan is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan Agreement for more complete information.

General

The Pamrapo Savings Bank, S.L.A. 401(k) Savings Plan, which was established July 1, 1985, and as amended May 1, 1999, August 27, 2003 and March 28, 2005, is a voluntary defined contribution plan which covers all eligible employees who have elected to participate. All employees are eligible to participate in the Plan on the January 1 or July 1 following the attainment of age 21 and completion of one year of service. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

Contributions

Participants may elect to contribute from 1% to 25% of their pretax compensation, as defined, up to limits prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Cont’d.)

Contributions (Cont’d.)

The Pamrapo Savings Bank, S.L.A. (“Employer Company”) contributes $.50 for each $1.00 contributed by participating employees as a matching Employer Contribution, up to a maximum of 5% of the employees compensation as defined. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and an allocation of the Employer Company’s contribution and Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s account.

The Employer Company may at its option contribute a discretionary amount to the Plan each year. Such contributions are allocated based on a “Compensation/Total Compensation” ratio and invested in the participants discretionary account.

On March 28, 2006 the Employer Company’s Compensation Committee reduced the matching Employer Contribution to $.25 for each $1.00 contributed by participating employees, effective July 1, 2006.

Allocation of Forfeitures

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, forfeited nonvested accounts total approximately $28,000 and $25,000, respectively. Forfeitures shall be treated as matching contributions and shall be applied to reduce the amount of subsequent matching contributions otherwise required to be made. Employer contributions were not reduced by the forfeited nonvested accounts in 2005 and 2004.

Payment of Benefits

On termination of service due to death, disability, retirement, or other reasons, a participant, or designated beneficiary in event of death, may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account or direct rollover to an eligible retirement plan including an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity. Participants with vested interests of $1,000 or less receive lump sum distributions.

Investment Options

Participants may direct that contributions be invested in any one, or combination, of the following investment options:

3 RELATED PARTY AND PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

Certain plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Retirement System Group Inc., which is the parent company of RSGroup Trust Company, the trustee as defined by the Plan, and, therefore, these transactions qualify as related party investment transactions. The Plan also owns shares of the stock of Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. (the “Holding Co.”). Administrative fees for newly originated loans to participants are deducted from the loan proceeds by the trustee and are reflected in the statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits as administrative expense. Fees for accounting and other administrative services are paid for by the Employer Company.

The Plan requires that Employer Company matching contributions are used to purchase common stock of the Holding Company (“the stock”), as well as, participants may also elect to invest in the stock. These transactions qualify as related party and party-in-interest transactions. Total purchases related to the stock at market value for 2005 and 2004 were approximately $545,000 and $621,000, respectively. Total sales related to the stock at market value for 2005 and 2004 were approximately $133,000 and $301,000, respectively. In addition, during 2005 and 2004 approximately 41,000 shares and 144,000 shares of the stock, at market values of approximately $1,009,000 and $3,650,000, respectively, were released in connection with the payment of benefits.

6. PARTICIPANT LOANS RECEIVABLE

In accordance with the Plan, loans are available to participants. The minimum amount a participant can borrow is $1,000. The maximum amount the participant can borrow is the lesser of: (i) $50,000, or (ii) one-half (1/2) of the aggregate of the: before-tax contribution account, vested portion of matching contribution account, vested portion of discretionary employer contribution account and rollover contribution account.

Interest rates charged on participant loans range between 5.00% and 10.00%. Participant loan balances, included in investments, at December 31, 2005 and 2004, totalled approximately $199,000 and $136,000, respectively.

7. REFUNDABLE CONTRIBUTIONS

Contributions from participants are net of payments made to certain participants to return excess contributions as required to satisfy relevant nondiscrimination provisions of the Plan. The amount of excess contributions was approximately $9,979 and $7,987 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These amounts are reflected as refundable contributions in the statements of net assets available for plan benefits.

8. PLAN TERMINATION

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Employer Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, Participants will become 100% vested in their non-vested employer matching contributions.

9. INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has issued a favorable determination letter dated December 8, 2001, stating that the Plan qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRS”) and, therefore, is not subject to tax under present income tax laws. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification. The Trustees of the Plan are not aware of any course of action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the Plan’s qualified status.

10. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Plan holds investments in Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. common stock, mutual fund and asset allocation fund shares whose values are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with such investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investments will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
