BCB Bancorp Inc., and Subsidiaries

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, BCB Community Bank (the “Bank”) and BCB Holding Company Investment 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, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 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, 2006, 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

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The diluted net income per common share is computed by adjusting the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding to include the effects of outstanding stock options, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U. S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Statement No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for our Company January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FASB Statement No. 157 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Index

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115." SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for our Company January 1, 2008. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards.” EITF 06-11 requires companies to recognize the income tax benefit realized from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and paid to employees for nonvested equity-classified employee share-based payment awards as an increase to additional paid-in capital. EITF 06-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2007. The Company does not expect EITF 06-11 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FIN 48-1 “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” (FSP FIN 48-1). FSP FIN 48-1 provides guidance on how to determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP FIN 48-1 is effective retroactively to January 1, 2007. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Financial Condition

Total assets increased by $24.8 million or 4.9% to $535.6 million at June 30, 2007 from $510.8 million at December 31, 2006. The Bank continued to grow assets, funded primarily through cash flow provided by retail deposit growth, and repayments and prepayments of loans and mortgage backed securities as well as the utilization of Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. During the first half of 2007 the Company decreased its interest earning deposits to fund loan growth which in turn provided a higher yield to our interest earning assets as yields obtained through our loan originations were higher than money market instruments. Asset growth stabilized as management is concentrating on controlled growth and maintaining adequate liquidity in the anticipation of funding outstanding loan commitments. The composition of the Bank’s assets has shifted more to loans reflecting management’s desire to obtain higher yields from loan products than are obtainable from other types of investments. We intend to continue to grow at a measured pace consistent with our capital levels and as business opportunities permit.

Total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $8.6 million or 33.3% to $17.2 million at June 30, 2007 from $25.8 million at December 31, 2006. Investment securities classified as held-to-maturity increased by $18.2 million or 12.2% to $166.9 million at June 30, 2007 from $148.7 million at December 31, 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to the engagement of a leverage transaction for $20.0 million funded through the utilization of an advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank, partially offset by $1.8 million of repayments and prepayments in the mortgage backed securities portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Loans receivable increased by $11.9 million or 3.7% to $330.0 million at June 30, 2007 from $318.1 million at December 31, 2006. The increase resulted primarily from a $12.1 million increase in real estate mortgages comprising residential, commercial, construction and participation loans with other financial institutions, net of amortization, and a $2.3 million increase in consumer loans, net of amortization partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in commercial loans comprising business loans and commercial lines of credit, net of amortization. The balance in the loan pipeline as of June 30, 2007 stood at $72.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company placed one loan facility into the repossessed category as a loan made in participation with another financial institution to Kara Homes became a parcel of real estate owned. This facility has been written down to $1.2 million as of June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2007 the allowance for loan losses was $3.5 million or 111.35% of non-performing assets.

Deposit liabilities increased by $7.5 million or 2.0% to $390.2 million at June 30, 2007 from $382.7 million at December 31, 2006. The increase resulted primarily from an increase of $10.2 million in time deposit accounts and a $6.2 million increase in

Index

transaction accounts, partially offset by an $8.9 million decrease in savings and club accounts as the Bank has experienced a change in the composition of deposits with savings and club balances being reduced in favor of higher cost time deposits. Short term time deposit rates continue to be much more competitive than core deposit rates as the yield curve remains inverted and the Federal Open Market Committee persists in its posture of keeping short term rates unchanged since June 2006.

The balance of borrowed money increased by $20.0 million or 27.0% to $94.1 million at June 30, 2007 from $74.1 million at December 31, 2006. The increase in borrowings is attributable to the engagement of a $20.0 million leverage transaction executed during the six months ended June 30, 2007. The primary purpose of our borrowings reflects the use of long term Federal Home Loan Bank advances to augment deposits as the Bank’s funding source for originating loans and investing in Government Sponsored Enterprise, (GSE) investment securities.

Stockholders’ equity decreased by $2.4 million or 4.6% to $49.6 million at June 30, 2007 from $52.0 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease in stockholders’ equity is primarily attributable to a decrease of $4.1 million to repurchase 235,868 shares of common stock consistent with our previously disclosed stock repurchase plans in effect at the time of the repurchase and a $751,000 decrease as a result of two quarterly cash dividend distributions during the six months ended June 30, 2007, partially offset by net income of $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and $44,000 realized from the exercise of 5,296 stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2007 the Bank’s Tier 1, Tier 1 Risk-Based and Total Risk Based Capital Ratios were 10.06%, 15.46% and 16.51% respectively.

Results of Operations

Three Months

Net income decreased by $288,000 or 20.4% to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in net income was due to decreases in net interest income and non-interest income and an increase in non-interest expense, partially offset by decreases in the provision for loan losses and income taxes. Net interest income decreased by $450,000 or 9.7% to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease in net interest income resulted primarily from an increase of $31.8 million or 7.9% in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities to $432.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $400.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and an increase in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities to 3.77% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 3.05% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The average balance of interest earning assets increased by $33.7 million or 7.1% to $507.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $473.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and the average yield on interest earning assets increased by two basis points to 6.52% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 6.50% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. As a consequence, our net

Index

interest margin decreased to 3.30% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 3.92% for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Interest income on loans receivable increased by $159,000 or 2.8% to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average loans receivable of $7.8 million or 2.5% to $323.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $316.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, partially offset by a slight decrease in the average yield on loans receivable to 7.21% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 7.24% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. 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 decrease in average yield reflects the competitive price environment prevalent in the Bank’s primary market area on commercial and construction loan facilities.

Interest income on securities held-to-maturity increased by $189,000 or 10.1% to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of securities held-to-maturity of $7.7 million or 5.3% to $153.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $145.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and an increase in the average yield on securities held-to-maturity to 5.39% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 5.15% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. 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 increased by $216,000 to $320,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $104,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was primarily due to a $15.4 million increase in the average balance of other interest-earning assets to $27.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and an increase in the average yield on other interest-earning assets to 4.69% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 3.51% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in the average yield reflects the higher short-term interest rate environment for overnight deposits during the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in the average balance primarily reflects the Bank’s need to increase it’s liquidity in the anticipation of funding loans as to which commitments were already entered into.

Total interest expense increased by $1.0 million or 32.3% to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $31.8 million or 7.9% to $432.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $400.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and an increase in the average

Index

cost of interest bearing liabilities to 3.77% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 3.05% for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

The Company did not record a loan loss provision for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to a $325,000 provision made for the three months ended June 30, 2006. 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, 2007, the Bank experienced $217,000 in net charge-offs (consisting of $220,000 in charge-offs and $3,000 in recoveries), primarily as a result of the repossession of a loan to facilitate the construction of approximately ten residential units done in participation with another financial institution. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Bank did not record any net charge-offs or recoveries. The Bank had non-performing loans totaling $2.0 million or 0.59% of gross loans at June 30, 2007, $1.7 million or 0.52% of gross loans at March 31, 2007 and $1.5 million or 0.47% of gross loans at June 30, 2006. The allowance for loan losses was $3.5 million or 1.05% of gross loans at June 30, 2007, $3.7 million or 1.17% of gross loans at March 31, 2007 and $3.6 million or 1.13% of gross loans at June 30, 2006. 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, 2007, March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006.

Total non-interest income decreased by $56,000 or 16.3% to $287,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $343,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in non-interest income resulted primarily from a $67,000 decrease in gain on sales of loans originated for sale to $129,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $196,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, partially offset by an $11,000 increase in general fees and service charges to $158,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $147,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in gain on sale of loans originated for sale reflects the softening one- to four-family residential real estate market during the three months ended June 30, 2007.

Total non-interest expense increased by $321,000 or 13.4% to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $214,000 or 17.1% to $1.47 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.25 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of

Index

full time equivalent employees to 101 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 84 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as well as annual salary increases in conjunction with annual reviews. Equipment expense increased by $63,000 to $505,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $442,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The primary component of this expense item is data service provider expense which increases with the growth of the Bank’s assets. Occupancy expense, advertising and other non-interest expense increased by an aggregate of $44,000 or 6.2% to $751,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $707,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in occupancy, advertising and other expenses is primarily attributable to increases in expenses commensurate with a growing franchise. Other non-interest expense is comprised of directors’ fees, stationary, forms and printing, professional fees, legal fees, check printing, correspondent bank fees, telephone and communication, shareholder relations and other fees and expenses.

Income tax expense decreased $214,000 to $624,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $838,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 reflecting decreased pre-tax income earned during the three month time period ended June 30, 2007. The consolidated effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was 35.7% as compared to 37.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Six Months of Operations

Net income decreased by $354,000 or 12.9% to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in net income was due to decreases in net interest income and non-interest income and an increase in non-interest expense partially offset by decreases in the provision for loan losses and income taxes. Net interest income decreased by $689,000 or 7.6% to $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease in net interest income resulted primarily from an increase of $29.3 million or 7.4% in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities to $427.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $398.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and an increase in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities to 3.73% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 2.99% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The average balance of interest earning assets increased by $34.9 million or 7.4% to $503.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $468.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the average yield of interest earning assets increased to 6.49% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 6.41% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. As a consequence, our net interest margin decreased to 3.33% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 3.87% for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Interest income on loans receivable increased by $573,000 or 5.2% to $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average loans receivable of $13.3 million or 4.3% to $322.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $309.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, and an increase in the average

Index

yield on loans receivable to 7.17% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 7.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. 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 $417,000 or 11.3% to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of securities held-to-maturity of $8.6 million or 6.0% to $152.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $144.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and an increase in the average yield on securities held-to-maturity to 5.38% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 5.13% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. 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.

Interest income on other interest-earning assets increased by $329,000 or 117.9% to $608,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $279,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $10.6 million or 67.5% in the average balance of other interest-earning assets to $26.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $15.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and an increase in the average yield on other interest-earning assets to 4.62% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 3.55% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in the average yield reflects the higher short-term interest rate environment for overnight deposits in 2007 as compared to 2006. The increase in the average balance primarily reflects the Bank’s need to increase it’s liquidity in the anticipation of funding loans as to which commitments were already entered into.

Total interest expense increased by $2.0 million or 33.3% to $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $29.3 million or 7.4% to $427.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $398.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, and an increase in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities to 3.73% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 2.99% for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

The Company did not record a loan loss provision for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to a $575,000 provision made for the six months ended June 30, 2006. 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, 2007, the Bank experienced $214,000 in net charge-offs (consisting of $222,000 in charge-offs and $8,000 in recoveries), primarily as a result of the repossession of a loan to facilitate the construction of approximately ten residential units done in

participation with another financial institution. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Bank recorded $68,000 in net loan charge-offs. The Bank had non-performing loans totaling $2.0 million or 0.59% of gross loans at June 30, 2007, $323,000 or 0.10% of gross loans at December 31, 2006 and $1.5 million or 0.47% of gross loans at June 30, 2006. The allowance for loan losses was $3.5 million or 1.06% of gross loans at June 30, 2007, $3.7 million or 1.16% of gross loans at December 31, 2006 and $3.6 million or 1.13% of gross loans at June 30, 2006.

Total non-interest income decreased by $84,000 or 13.1% to $557,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $641,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in non-interest income resulted primarily from an $88,000 decrease in gain on sales of loans originated for sale to $250,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $338,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, partially offset by a $4,000 increase in general fees, service charges and other income to $307,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $303,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in gain on sale of loans originated for sale reflects the softening one- to four-family residential real estate market during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Total non-interest expense increased by $437,000 or 9.2% to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $249,000 or 9.8% to $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of full time equivalent employees to 101 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 84 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as well as annual salary increases in conjunction with annual reviews. Equipment expense increased by $46,000 to $938,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $892,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Advertising expense increased by $38,000 to $194,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $156,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in advertising expense relates to advertisements for deposit and loan promotions in an effort to attract additional business during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as well as promotions targeting the opening of our new office in Hoboken.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative 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, 2007, 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 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, 2007. The following sets forth the Company’s NPV as of March 31, 2007.

Change in	Net Portfolio		$ Change from			% Change from			NPV as a % of Assets
Calculation	Value		PAR			PAR			NPV Ratio			Change
+300bp	$	41,265	$	(30,367	)		-42.39	%		8.81	%	-512 bps
+200bp		51,136		(20,496	)		-28.61			10.60		-333 bps
+100bp		61,548		(10,084	)		-14.08			12.36		-157 bps

-100bp		75,322		3,690			5.15			14.38		45 bps
-200bp		71,213		(419	)		-0.58			13.43		178 bps
bp – basis points

Index

The table above indicates that at March 31, 2007, in the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a 5.15% increase in NPV. In the event of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 14.08% 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.
