BANCORP OF NEW JERSEY, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bancorp
of New Jersey, Inc., (the Company) and its direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of New
Jersey (the Bank). These financial statements include the effect of the holding company
reorganization which took place on July 31, 2007 pursuant to a plan of acquisition that was
approved by the boards of directors of the Company and the Bank and adopted by the
shareholders of the Bank at a special meeting held on July 19, 2007.
The holding company reorganization is accounted for as a reorganization under common control
and the assets, liabilities, and stockholders equity of the Bank immediately prior to the
holding company reorganization have been carried forward on the Companys consolidated
financials statements at the amounts carried on the Banks books at the effective date of the
holding company reorganization. The consolidated capitalization, assets, liabilities,
results of operations and other financial data of the Company immediately following the
reorganization were substantially the same as those of the Bank immediately prior to the
holding company reorganization. Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated financial
statements of the Company include the Banks historical recorded values.
The Companys class of common stock has no par value. As a result of the holding company
reorganization, amounts previously recognized as additional paid in capital on the Banks
financial statements have been reclassified into the Companys consolidated financial
statements.
These financial statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures which management believes
are necessary for a fair presentation of interim results. All significant inter-company
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations
for the three month and the six month periods presented do not necessarily indicate the
results that the Company will achieve for the 2008 fiscal year. You should read these
consolidated unaudited interim financial statements in conjunction with the financial
statements and accompanying notes that are presented in the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
The financial information in this quarterly report has been prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles; these financial statements have not been audited.
Certain information and footnote disclosures required under generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted, as permitted by rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform
to the June 30, 2008 presentation.
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. (See Note 9. Fair Value Measurements.)

Organization

Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve Board). The Bank is a
community bank which provides a full range of banking services to individuals and corporate
customers in New Jersey. Both the Company and the Bank are subject to competition from other
financial institutions. The Bank is regulated by state and federal agencies and is subject
to periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. The Bank conducts a traditional
commercial banking business, accepting deposits from the general public, including
individuals, businesses, non-profit organizations, and governmental units. The Bank makes
commercial loans, consumer loans, and both residential and commercial real estate loans. In
addition, the Bank provides other customer services and makes investments in securities, as
permitted by law. The Bank has sought to offer an alternative, community-oriented style of
banking in an area, that is presently dominated by larger, statewide and national
institutions. The Banks focus is on establishing and retaining customer relationships by
offering a broad range of traditional financial services and products, competitively-priced
and delivered in a responsive manner to small businesses, professionals and individuals in
the local market. As a community bank, the Bank endeavors to provide superior customer
service that is highly personalized, efficient and responsive to local needs. To better
serve its customers and expand it market reach, the Bank provides for the delivery of certain
of its financial products and services to its local customers and to a broader market through
the use of mail, telephone and internet banking. The Bank seeks to deliver these products
and services with the care and professionalism expected of a community bank and with a
special dedication to personalized customer service.
Note 2. Stockholders Equity and related transactions
The Company declared a 2 for 1 stock split during the fourth quarter of 2007 (the 2007 stock
split). This split was payable on December 31, 2007. Earnings per share and all share data
have been restated to reflect the effect of the 2007 stock split.
A 10% stock distribution was made during January, 2007 (the 2007 stock distribution).
Earnings per share and all share data have been restated to reflect the effect of the 2007
stock distribution.
During 2007, the Company sold 43,478 shares of common stock at $11.50 per share, as adjusted
for the 10% stock distribution and the 2 for 1 stock split, to one of its directors and
certain of his family members for total proceeds of $500,000.
During the six month periods ended June 30, 2008, approximately $1.1 million of warrants were
exercised. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, approximately $27 thousand of warrants
were exercised.
Note 3. Benefit Plans and Stock-Based Compensation
2006 Stock Option Plan
During 2006, the Banks stockholders approved the 2006 Stock Option Plan. At the time of the
holding company reorganization, the 2006 Stock Option Plan was assumed by the Company. The
plan allows directors and employees of the Company to purchase up to 239,984 shares of the
Companys common stock, in each case as adjusted for the 2007 stock split and the 2007 stock
distribution. The option price per share is the market value of the Banks stock on the date
of grant. The option price and number of shares underlying options outstanding on the date
of the 2007 stock split and the 2007 stock distribution have been equitably adjusted to
account for such events. At
8
June 30, 2008, incentive stock options to purchase 220,300 shares have been issued to
employees of the Bank, of which options to purchase 188,900 shares are outstanding at June
30, 2008.
Under the 2006 Stock Option Plan, there were a total of 110,800 unvested options at June 30,
2008, and approximately $295,000 remained to be recognized in expense in expense over
approximately the next four years. Under the 2006 Stock Option Plan, no options were granted
or exercised during the first six months of 2008. There were approximately 9,400 options
forfeited during the period. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, there were 22,000
options exercised for total proceeds of $200,000. There were no options granted or forfeited
during the first six months of 2007.
2007 Director Plan
During 2007, the Banks stockholders approved the 2007 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for
Directors. At the time of the holding company reorganization, the 2007 Non-Qualified Stock
Option Plan was assumed by the Company. This plan provides for 480,000 options to purchase
shares of the Companys common stock to be issued to non-employee directors of the Company.
At June 30, 2008, non-qualified options to purchase 460,000 shares of the Companys stock
have been issued and are outstanding to non-employee directors of the Company at June 30,
2008.
Under the 2007 Director Plan, there were a total of 460,000 unvested options at June 30,
2008, and approximately $925,000 remained to be recognized in expense over approximately four
remaining years. No stock options were granted, exercised, or forfeited during the first six
months of 2008 under the 2007 Director Plan.
In connection with both the 2006 Stock Option Plan and the 2007 Director Plan, share based
compensation totaled $90,000 and $18,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, share based
compensation totaled $193,000 and $24,000.

Note 4. Earnings Per Share.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during that period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
outstanding common shares and common share equivalents. Outstanding common share equivalents
include options and warrants to purchase the Companys common stock.
All weighted average, actual shares and per share information have been adjusted retroactively for
the effects of the 2007 stock distribution and the 2007 stock split. The following schedule shows

Management has evaluated the securities in the table above and has concluded that none of the
securities with losses has impairments that are other-than-temporary. In its evaluation,
management considered the types of securities including if the securities were US government issued
and the credit ratings of the securities. The securities that are in an unrealized loss position
are in a loss position because of a change in interest rates since the securities were purchased.
These securities consist only of US government sponsored agencies obligations.
The Company held no securities in the available for sale category at December 31, 2007.

The Bank grants commercial, mortgage and installment loans primarily to New Jersey residents
and businesses within its local trading area. Its borrowers abilities to repay or otherwise
satisfy their obligations are dependent upon various factors, including the borrowers income
and net worth, cash flows generated by the underlying collateral, value of the underlying
collateral and priority of the Banks lien on the collateral. Such factors are dependent
upon various economic conditions and individual circumstances beyond the Banks control; the
Bank is therefore subject to risk of loss. The Bank believes its lending policies and
procedures reasonably account for the potential exposure to such risks and that adequate
provisions for loan losses are provided for all known and inherent risks. Management
believes that the allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level adequate to provide for
losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

There were no impaired loans at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. As of June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, the Bank also had no non-accrual loans or non-performing loans.
15
Note 8. Guarantees
The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure,
other than the Banks standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional
commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.
Generally, all letters of credit, when issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit
risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in
extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral and/or personal
guarantees supporting these commitments. As of June 30, 2008, the Bank had $940 thousand of
commercial and similar letters of credit. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a
liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the
potential amount of future payment required under the corresponding guarantees. Management
believes that the current amount of the liability as of June 30, 2008 for guarantees under standby
letters of credit issued is not material.
Note 9. Fair Value Measurements
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements, for financial assets and financial liabilities. In accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
157, the Company will delay application of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities until January 1, 2009. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair
value measurements.
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value
measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the
principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most
advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous)
market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for
transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for
a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and
customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction.
Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii)
knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.
SFAS 157 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the
income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant
information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and
liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash
flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on
the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset
(replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation
techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from
independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entitys own
assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability
developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, SFAS 157
establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1 Inputs Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
16
|
|
|
Level 2 Inputs Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include
quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for
identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other
than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates,
volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived
principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Inputs Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or
liabilities that reflect an entitys own assumptions about the assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. |
A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as
well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set
forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Companys financial assets
and financial liabilities carried at fair value effective January 1, 2008.
In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted
market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that
primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to
ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts
to reflect counterparty credit quality, creditworthiness, among other things, as well as
unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. The
Companys valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative
of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the
Companys valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants,
the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial
instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
17
Securities Available for Sale. Securities classified as available for sale are reported at
fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value
measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable
data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve,
live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information
and the bonds terms and conditions, among other things.
At June 30, 2008, the Company did not have any trading securities, derivative financial
instruments, or impaired loans which would require measurement at fair value.
The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured
at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2008, segregated by the level of
the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair
value:

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring
basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject
to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of
impairment). The Company had no financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value
on a non-recurring basis at June 30, 2008.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value
Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 115. SFAS 159 permits the Corporation to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at
specified election dates. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value measurement
option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value
option (i) may be applied instrument by instrument, with certain exceptions, thus the Company may
record identical financial assets and liabilities at fair value or by another measurement basis
permitted under generally accepted accounting principals, (ii) is irrevocable (unless a new
election date occurs) and (iii) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of
instruments. Adoption of SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008 did not impact the Companys financial
statements.

Note 10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
FASB statement No. 141 (R) Business Combinations was issued in December of 2007. This Statement
establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures
in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The Statement also provides guidance for recognizing and
measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to
disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects
of the business combination. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a companys
fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. This new pronouncement will impact the Companys
accounting for business combinations completed beginning January 1, 2009.
FASB statement No. 160 Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan
amendment of ARB No. 51 was issued in December of 2007. This Statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of
a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a companys fiscal year
beginning after December 15, 2008. Although it is not expected to have a material impact, the
Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its
consolidated financial statements.
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (SAB 110) amends and replaces Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic
14, "Share-Based Payment, of the Staff Accounting Bulletin series. Question 6 of Section D.2 of
Topic 14 expresses the views of the staff regarding the use of the simplified method in
developing an estimate of expected term of plain vanilla share options and allows usage of the
simplified method for share option grants prior to December 31, 2007. SAB 110 allows public
companies which do not have historically sufficient experience to provide a reasonable estimate to
continue use of the simplified method for estimating the expected term of plain vanilla share
option grants after December 31, 2007. SAB 110 became effective January 1, 2008 and did not have a
material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109 (SAB 109), Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value
Through Earnings expresses the views of the staff regarding written loan commitments that are
accounted for at fair value through earnings under generally accepted accounting principles. To
make the staffs views consistent with current authoritative accounting guidance, the SAB revises
and rescinds portions of SAB No. 105, Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments.
Specifically, the SAB revises the Securities and Exchange Commission staffs views on incorporating
expected net future cash flows related to loan servicing activities in the fair value measurement
of a written loan commitment. The SAB retains the staffs views on incorporating expected net
future cash flows related to internally-developed intangible assets in the fair value measurement
of a written loan commitment. The staff expects registrants to apply the views in Question 1 of SAB
109 to derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December
15, 2007. The guidance in SAB 109 became effective on January 1, 2008 and did not have a material
impact on the Companys financial statements.
Note 11. Subsequent Event
On July 24, 2008, the Bank acquired a bank location at 320 Haworth Avenue, Haworth, NJ. The
purchase price was approximately $1.85 million. This location will be the Banks fifth location.

markets in general and in the capital markets for financial institutions; and the extent and timing
of legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; and other risks and uncertainties detailed from

disseminated documents.
The above-listed risk factors are not necessarily exhaustive, particularly as to possible
future events, and new risk factors may emerge from time to time. Certain events may occur that
could cause our actual results to be materially different than those described in forward-looking
statements. Any statements made that are not historical facts should be considered to be
forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements,
which only reflect managements analysis as of the date of this quarterly report. We undertake no
obligation to update forward-looking statements or to make any public announcement when we consider
forward-looking statements in this quarterly report to no longer be accurate, whether as a result
of new information of future events, except as may be required by applicable law or regulation.

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of
the date of the statement of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the period
indicated. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Management
believes the following critical accounting policies encompass the more significant judgments
and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term
relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Losses on loans are charged to
the allowance for loan losses. Additions to this allowance are made by recoveries of loans
previously charged off and by a provision charged to expense. The determination of the
balance of the allowance for loan losses is based on an analysis of the loan portfolio,
economic conditions and other factors warranting recognition. Management believes that the
allowance for loan losses is maintained at an adequate level to provide for losses inherent
in the loan portfolio. While management uses available information to recognize losses on
loans, future additions may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions,
particularly in New Jersey. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of
their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies
may require us to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about
information available to them at the time of their examinations.
Deferred Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax effects of temporary
differences between financial and tax reporting. Deferred tax assets are subject to
managements judgment based upon available evidence that future realization is more likely
than not. If management determines that we may be unable to realize all of part of net
deferred tax assets in the future, a direct charge to income tax expense may be required to
reduce the value of the net deferred tax asset to the expected realizable amount.
21
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference
between interest income on interest earning assets and interest expense on interest bearing
liabilities. Interest earning assets consist principally of loans and investment securities, while
interest bearing liabilities consist primarily of deposits and borrowings. Net income is also
affected by the provision for loan losses and the level of non-interest income as well as by
non-interest expenses, including salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense,
and other expenses.
Net Income
Net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $102 thousand compared to net income of $206
thousand for the second quarter of 2007. In comparison to the second quarter of 2007, the second
quarter of 2008 included an increase in interest expense of approximately $959 thousand and an
increase in non-interest expense of approximately $499 thousand. These increases reflect increased
interest bearing deposit accounts and balances, resulting from continued growth of the Bank and the
expansion of our branch network by opening of 3 branches during the second half of 2007.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $114 compared to net income of $234
thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The first six months of 2008 included an
additional $2.5 million of interest expense related to interest bearing deposit growth and an
additional $976 of non-interest expense related to the expansion of our branch network.
On a per share basis, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.02 for the second quarter
of 2008 as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.04 for the second quarter of
2007. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.02 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as
compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.05 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
All per share data has been restated to reflect the 2007 stock distribution and the 2007 stock
split.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and
expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the volume of
interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on
them. For both the three month period and the six month period, the growth in net interest income
has been, primarily, driven by increased interest income from loans, including fees. During the
second quarter of 2008, net interest income reached $1.7 million from $1.5 million during the
second quarter of 2007 primarily as a result of loan growth during
the period. Total income increased by approximately 47.6% to $3.5 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from $2.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, net interest income reached $3.1 million compared
to $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This increase is also attributable to the
66.6% increase in interest income from loans, including fees. Total
income reached $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $4.4 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2007.
22
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $67 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as
compared to $239 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2007. During the six months ended
June 30, 2008, the provision for loan losses was $225 thousand as compared to $628 thousand during
the six months ended June 30, 2007. For both the three month and the six month periods, the
decreased provision is reflective of continued, but slower, loan growth.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income, which was primarily attributable to service fees, reached $81 thousand
during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to $41 thousand for the quarter ended June 30,
2007. for the six months ended June 30, 2008, non-interest income reached $145 thousand as
compared to $60 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2007. As these fees are related,
primarily, to deposits accounts, the increase between periods is reflective of increased customer
activity and a greater focus on our part to increase non-interest income.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense reached $1.5 million during the second quarter of 2008 compared to $1.0
million in the second quarter of 2007, an increase of approximately $500 thousand. During the six
months ended June 30, 2008, non-interest expense reached approximately $2.9 million from
approximately $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. These increases during the
three month period and the six month period are reflective of salaries and employee benefits costs
increasing as well as occupancy and equipment expense increasing as a result of the opening of 3
additional branch locations in Bergen County, NJ during the second half of 2007.
Income Tax Expense
The income tax provision reached $77 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 as compared
to $80 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008,
income tax expense reached $109 thousand as compared to $107 thousand for the six months ended June
30, 2007. The income tax provisioning is reflective of our pre-tax income and the effect of
permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These permanent tax differences include
the recognition of non-deductible stock option expense as required under SFAS 123-R.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total consolidated assets decreased $1.9 million, or less than 1%, from $260.2 million at
December 31, 2007 to $258.3 million at June 30, 2008. Total deposits decreased from $212.9 million
on December 31, 2007 to $210.6 million on June 30, 2008, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 1.1%.
Loans receivable, or total loans, increased from $183.5 million at December 31, 2007 to $206.9
million at June 30, 2008, an increase of $23.4 million, or 12.8%.
23
Loans
Our loan portfolio is the primary component of our assets. Total loans increased by 12.8% since
year end to reach $206.9 million at June 30, 2008. At December 31, 2007, our total loans were
approximately $183.5 million. While we have focused on conservative lending practices, the growth
in the loan portfolio continues to be supported by recommendations and referrals from members of
our board of directors, our shareholders, our executive officers, and selective marketing by our
management and staff. We believe that we will continue to have similar opportunities for loan
growth within the Bergen County market of northern New Jersey, due in part, to continued and recent
consolidation of banking institutions within our market. We maintain that it is not cost-efficient
for large institutions, many of which are headquartered out of state, to provide the level of
personal service to small business borrowers that these customers seek and that we intend to
provide.
Our loan portfolio consists of commercial loans, real estate loans, and consumer loans. Commercial
loans are made for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment or
inventory, as well as for other business purposes. Real estate loans consist of loans secured by
commercial or residential real property and loans for the construction of commercial or residential
property. Consumer loans are made for the purpose of financing the purchase of consumer goods,
home improvements, and other personal needs, and are generally secured by the personal property
owned or being purchased by the borrowers.
Our loans are primarily to businesses and individuals located in Bergen County, New Jersey. We
have not made loans to borrowers outside of the United States. We continue to focus on
conservative lending practices. We have not made any sub-prime loans. Commercial lending
activities are focused primarily on lending to small business borrowers. We believe that our
strategy of prudent lending, customer service, competitive rate structures, and selective marketing
have enabled us to gain market entry to local loans. Further, we believe that bank mergers and
lending restrictions at larger financial institutions with which we compete have also contributed
to the success of our efforts to attract borrowers.
For more information on the loan portfolio, see Note 7 in Notes to the Financial Statements in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Loan Quality
As mentioned above, our principal assets are our loans. Inherent in the lending function is the
risk of the borrowers inability to repay a loan, either under its existing terms or at all. Risk
elements include non-accrual loans, past due and restructured loans, potential problem loans, loan
concentrations, and other real estate owned.
Non-performing assets include loans that are not accruing interest (non-accrual loans) as a result
of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more, accruing loans that are
90 days past due, and other real estate owned. When a loan is classified as non-accrual, interest
accruals discontinue and all past due interest, including interest applicable to prior years, is
reversed and charged against current income. Until the loan becomes current, any payments received
from the borrower are applied to outstanding principal until such time as management determines
that the financial condition of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of such payments
as interest.
We attempt to minimize overall credit risk through loan diversification and our loan approval
procedures. Due diligence begins at the time we begin to discuss the origination of a loan with a
borrower. Documentation, including a borrowers credit history, materials establishing the value
and liquidity of potential collateral, the purpose of the loan, the source and timing of the
repayment of the loan, and other
24
factors are analyzed before a loan is submitted for approval. Loans made are also subject to
periodic audit and review.
At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had no non-performing assets and no information about
possible credit problems of borrowers which would cause us to have serious doubts as to the
ultimate ability to collect their loans. While we do attempt to minimize credit risk, these
conditions are primarily attributable to our limited operating history.
As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there were no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of
our total loans and we had no foreign loans. Furthermore, our loan portfolio does not contain any
sub-prime loans. Our loans are primarily to businesses and individuals located in Bergen County,
New Jersey.
Investment Securities
Securities held as available for sale (AFS) were approximately $23.8 million at June 30, 2008
compared to no AFS securities at December 31, 2007. This increase in the AFS category represented
the purchase of securities during the period with funds in excess of federal funds sold.
Securities held to maturity which represented approximately $1.9 million at December 31, 2007
decreased by that amount due to maturity during the period. At June 30, 2008, there were no held
to maturity securities.
Deposits
Deposits remain our primary source of funds. Total deposits decreased from $212.9 million on
December 31, 2007 to $210.6 million on June 30, 2008, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 1.1%. This
decrease is directly attributable to a decrease in high-yield certificates of deposit, which we
priced and marketed less aggressively, as we focused on deposit products with a lower cost.
Liquidity
Our liquidity is a measure of our ability to fund loans, withdrawals or maturities of deposits, and
other cash outflows in a cost-effective manner. Our principal sources of funds are deposits,
scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal, maturities of investment securities, and
funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan payments and maturing investments are
relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced
by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. We also have the ability to use
overnight lines of credit with our correspondent banks.
Our total deposits equaled $210.6 million at June 30, 2008 as compared to $212.9 million at
December 31, 2007.
Through the investment portfolio, we will seek to obtain a safe, yet slightly higher yield than
would have been available to us as a net seller of overnight federal funds, while maintaining
liquidity. Through our investment portfolio, we also attempt to manage our maturity gap by seeking
maturities of investments which coincide with maturities of deposits. The investment portfolio
also includes securities available for sale to provide liquidity for anticipated loan demand and
liquidity needs.
25
We were a seller of federal funds for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008. As of June 30,
2008, we have a $12 million overnight line of credit with First Tennessee Bank and a $10 million
overnight line of credit with Atlantic Central Bankers Bank for the purchase of federal funds in
the event that temporary liquidity needs arise. There are no amounts outstanding under either
facility at June 30, 2008.
Capital Resources
A significant measure of the strength of a financial institution is its capital base. Our federal
regulators have classified and defined our capital into the following components: Tier 1 Capital,
which includes tangible shareholders equity for common stock and qualifying preferred stock, and
Tier 2 Capital, which includes a portion of the allowance for possible loan losses, certain
qualifying long-term debt, and preferred stock which does not qualify for Tier 1 Capital. Minimum
capital levels are regulated by risk-based capital adequacy guidelines, which require certain
capital as a percent of our assets and certain off-balance sheet items, adjusted for predefined
credit risk factors, referred to as risk-adjusted assets.
We are required to maintain, at a minimum, Tier 1 Capital as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets
of 4.0% and combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital, or Total Capital, as a percentage of
risk-adjusted assets of 8.0%.
In addition to the risk-based guidelines, our regulators require that an institution which meets
the regulators highest performance and operation standards maintain a minimum leverage ratio (Tier
1 Capital as a percentage of tangible assets) of 3.0%. For those institutions with higher levels
of risk or that are experiencing or anticipating significant growth, the minimum leverage ratio
will be evaluated through the ongoing regulatory examination process.
The following table summarizes the Banks risk-based capital and leverage ratios at June 30, 2008,
as well as the applicable minimum ratios:

In addition to the above, as part of the Banks application for deposit insurance with the FDIC and
as part of the bank charter approval by the New Jersey Department of Banking, the Bank is required
to maintain not less than 8% Tier 1 Capital to total assets, as defined, throughout the first three
years of operation.
The capital levels detailed above reflect the success of our initial stock offering as well as our
results of operations. As we employ our capital and continue to grow our operations, we expect
that our capital levels will decrease, but that we will remain a well-capitalized institution.
