CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE, NJ--(Marketwire - February 24, 2009) - Cape Bancorp, Inc. ("Company") (NASDAQ: [ CBNJ ]), the parent company of Cape Bank, announced that in connection with its year-end audit and related evaluation of its investment portfolio occurring following its February 13, 2009 announcement of year-end 2008 results, the Company will record an additional other-than-temporary impairment charge to earnings of $6.8 million (net of tax) in the fourth quarter 2008 for investments in certain pooled trust preferred securities.

This earnings release revises the Company's earnings release dated February 13, 2009.

In connection with the year-end audit, and as a result of subsequent information regarding deferrals of interest and expected defaults of issuers and revisions of assumptions utilized in determining other-than-temporary impairment, management concluded that an additional other-than-temporary impairment occurred in its fourth quarter and year-end 2008 results. Unrealized losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders' equity on the Company's balance sheet, have now been reflected as other-than-temporary impairment on the income statement. This will result in a full-year 2008 net loss of $(42.5) million or $(3.49) per share, compared to a net loss of $(35.7) million, or $(2.94) per share as previously announced. For the fourth quarter of 2008, the charge increases its previously announced net loss to $(42.2) million or $(3.43) per share, from $(35.4) million, or $(2.88) per share.

Management will continue to evaluate its securities portfolio and monitor the fair value of its securities pursuant to appropriate fair value methodologies, and no assurances can be given that no future additional other-than-temporary impairment charges may be necessary. At December 31, 2008, the remaining unrealized loss associated with these trust preferred securities recorded through other comprehensive income was approximately $8.8 million pre-tax ($5.5 million net of tax). This change has no effect on previously reported total stockholders' equity, book value or tangible book value per share.
