BAYONNE, NJ--(Marketwire - 07/30/09) - Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:PBCI - News) announced a net loss of $3.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to net income of $963,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Basic and diluted loss per share was $0.73 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.20 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The Company also reported a net loss of $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to net income of $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Basic and diluted loss per share was $0.64 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.40 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $3.6 million as compared to net income of $963,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $4.5 million or 473.8%. The net loss during the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same 2008 period, resulted primarily from a $4.6 million increase in total non-interest expenses and a higher provision for loan losses, as well as decreases in total interest income and total non-interest income, which were partially offset by decreases in total interest expense and a benefit for income taxes. The $4.6 million increase in total non-interest expenses was primarily driven by a $3.0 million litigation loss reserve accrued during the second quarter of 2009 and a $1.2 million increase in professional fees from the quarter ended June 30, 2008 to the quarter ended June 30, 2009, as well as a $382,000 increase in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") premiums from the 2008 to the 2009 period.
The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $3.2 million as compared to net income of $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $5.2 million or 260.0%. The net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same 2008 period, resulted primarily from a $5.8 million increase in total non-interest expenses and a higher provision for loan losses, as well as a decrease in total interest income, which were partially offset by decreases in total interest expense, reduction of income taxes and an increase in total non-interest income. The $5.8 million increase in total non-interest expenses was primarily driven by a $3.0 million litigation loss reserve accrued during the second quarter of 2009 and a $2.2 million increase in professional fees from the six months ended June 30, 2008 to the six months ended June 30, 2009, as well as a $467,000 increase in FDIC premiums, including a special assessment of $270,000, from the 2008 to the 2009 period.
As previously reported, Pamrapo Savings Bank, S.L.A. (the "Bank"), the wholly-owned subsidiary of Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), received federal grand jury subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey ("U.S. Attorney's Office"). The subpoenas were issued to the Bank in connection with an ongoing investigation regarding the Bank's anti-money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act compliance. Certain individuals, including the Bank's senior officers and directors, have received grand jury testimony subpoenas in connection with this investigation. In addition, the Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pamrapo Service Corporation, have also received federal grand jury subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney's Office relating to certain commissions paid to the manager of Pamrapo Service Corporation. The Bank has, and continues to, fully cooperate with these investigations. It is anticipated that the investigations will continue for at least the next several months.
No penalties, either criminal or civil, have been imposed on the Bank to date as a result of the investigation. However, pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, a company must accrue funds for a possible litigation loss if a loss is probable and the amount of the expected loss is reasonably estimable. It is probable that the Bank will incur monetary penalties in the form of fines and forfeitures as a result of these matters. As reported in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 23, 2009, the Bank was able to reasonably estimate certain losses, based on new information that had come to light. As a result, the Bank accrued a $3.0 million litigation loss reserve to reflect a potential criminal forfeiture, and related costs and expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
The Bank is only able to reasonably estimate certain losses at this time. It is probable that the Bank will incur material losses in addition to the $3.0 million litigation loss reserve described above; however it is not able to reasonably estimate additional losses at this time. These additional losses relate to potential further criminal forfeitures and potential criminal fines that may be imposed separately by a court, and civil money penalties that may be imposed by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"), the Bank's primary federal regulator, and Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a part of the United States Treasury Department (FinCEN). Depending on the end result of the investigation, the total amount of penalties and related costs and expenses incurred by the Bank may be significantly higher than $3.0 million, and could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, and regulatory capital ratios.
The increase in professional fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same 2008 periods, was predominately due to expenses incurred for legal, accounting and other professional services as a result of the federal grand jury investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office discussed above and fees paid to consultants that the Bank engaged as a result of a cease and desist order issued by the OTS, effective September 26, 2008.
FDIC premiums increased as a result of an increase in premium rates, the depletion of assessment credits previously in effect and a special assessment during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 of $270,000.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same 2008 periods, provision for loan losses increased by $700,000 and $1,147,000, respectively, primarily due to an increase in the Bank's non-performing loans, which were $19.7 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $8.0 million at June 30, 2008.
The Bank continues to be well-capitalized as of June 30, 2009 with a tier one capital ratio of 9.02% as compared to the minimum regulatory requirement of 4.0%.
Pamrapo's book value per share at June 30, 2009 was $10.21.
Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. is a holding company whose principal subsidiary, Pamrapo Savings Bank, S.L.A., operates ten branch offices in Bayonne, Jersey City, Hoboken, and Monroe, New Jersey.
