This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are not historical facts; rather, they are statements based on Ocean Shore Holding Co.’s current expectations regarding its business strategies, intended results and future performance. Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends” and similar expressions.

Management’s ability to predict results or the effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could affect actual results include interest rate trends, the general economic climate in the market area in which Ocean Shore Holding Co. operates, as well as nationwide, Ocean Shore Holding Co.’s ability to control costs and expenses, competitive products and pricing, loan delinquency rates and changes in federal and state legislation and regulation. These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Ocean Shore Holding Co. assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS

General

Ocean Shore Holding Co. (“Ocean Shore Holding” or the “Company”) is a federally chartered savings and loan holding company established in 1998 to be the holding company for Ocean City Home Bank. Ocean Shore Holding’s business activity is the ownership of the outstanding capital stock of Ocean City Home Bank. Ocean Shore Holding does not own or lease any property but instead uses the premises, equipment and other property of Ocean City Home Bank with the payment of appropriate rental fees, as required by applicable law and regulations, under the terms of an expense allocation agreement. In the future, Ocean Shore Holding may acquire or organize other operating subsidiaries; however, there are no current plans, arrangements, agreements or understandings, written or oral, to do so.

Ocean City Home Bank is a federally chartered savings bank. We operate as a community-oriented financial institution offering a wide range of financial services to consumers and businesses in our market area. We attract deposits from the general public, small businesses and municipalities and use those funds to originate real estate loans, small commercial loans and consumer loans, which we hold primarily for investment.

OC Financial MHC is our federally chartered mutual holding company parent. As a mutual holding company, OC Financial MHC is a non-stock company that has as its members the depositors of Ocean City Home Bank. OC Financial MHC does not engage in any business activity other than owning a majority of the common stock of Ocean Shore Holding. So long as we remain in the mutual holding company form of organization, OC Financial MHC will own a majority of the outstanding shares of Ocean Shore Holding.

Market Area

We are headquartered in Ocean City, New Jersey, which is located in northern Cape May County on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. In addition to our main office, we operate six branch offices in Atlantic and Cape May Counties, which we consider our primary market area. The economy of Atlantic County is dominated by the service sector, of which the gaming industry in nearby Atlantic City is the primary employer. The economy of Cape May is primarily geared toward tourism. According to published statistics, Atlantic County’s population in 2005 was approximately 270,500 persons and Cape May County’s population was approximately 112,800. The economy in Atlantic County has been strong in recent years as new and expanding casinos in Atlantic City, along

1

with new retail centers and entertainment venues, have led to job growth and an increase in housing development. Cape May County has also benefited from the growth in and around Atlantic City, as many residents commute into that area for employment. Although the economy in our market area has been strong in recent years, median household and per capita income in Atlantic and Cape May Counties are lower than the comparable figures for New Jersey as a whole. In addition, median household income in Atlantic and Cape May Counties was below the national average in 2005 and continuing to decrease, and by 2010 both Atlantic and Cape May Counties are projected to continue to be below the national average. We attribute this to several factors. First, there has been an influx of retirees with limited incomes but moderate to substantial wealth. Additionally, since our market is located outside of a major metropolitan area, average income levels are negatively affected by the small portion of high-paying, white collar jobs. In our market area, lower paying service jobs provide a relatively large portion of overall employment.

Competition

We face significant competition for the attraction of deposits and origination of loans. Our most direct competition for deposits has historically come from the several financial institutions operating in our market area and from other financial service companies, such as brokerage firms, credit unions and insurance companies. We also face competition for investors’ funds from money market funds and other corporate and government securities. At June 30, 2005, which is the most recent date for which data is available from the FDIC, we held approximately 4.3% of the deposits in Atlantic County, which was the 8^th largest market share out of 17 financial institutions with offices in this county. Also, at June 30, 2005, we held approximately 9.3% of the deposits in Cape May County, which was the 6^th largest market share out of 13 financial institutions with offices in this county. Banks owned by Bank of America Corporation, Wachovia Corporation and The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., all of which are large bank holding companies, also operate in our market area. These institutions are significantly larger than us and, therefore, have significantly greater resources.

Our competition for loans comes primarily from financial institutions in our market area and, to a lesser extent, from other financial service providers, such as mortgage companies and mortgage brokers. Competition for loans also comes from the increasing number of non-depository financial service companies entering the mortgage market, such as insurance companies, securities companies and specialty finance companies.

We expect competition to increase in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and the continuing trend of consolidation in the financial services industry. Technological advances, for example, have lowered barriers to entry, allowed banks to expand their geographic reach by providing services over the Internet and made it possible for non-depository institutions to offer products and services that traditionally have been provided by banks. Changes in federal law permit affiliation among banks, securities firms and insurance companies, which promotes a competitive environment in the financial services industry. Competition for deposits and the origination of loans could limit our growth in the future.

Lending Activities

General. The largest segment of our loan portfolio is one-to-four family residential mortgage loans. The other significant segments of our loan portfolio are multi-family and commercial real estate loans, construction loans, commercial loans and consumer loans. We originate loans primarily for investment purposes.

One- to Four-Family Residential Loans. Our primary lending activity is the origination of mortgage loans to enable borrowers to purchase or refinance existing homes in our market area. We offer fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans with terms up to 30 years. Borrower demand for adjustable-rate loans versus fixed-rate loans is a function of the level of interest rates, the expectations of changes in the level of interest rates, and the difference between the interest rates and loan fees offered for fixed-rate mortgage loans and the initial period interest rates and loan fees for adjustable-rate loans. The relative amount of fixed-rate mortgage loans and adjustable-rate mortgage loans that can be originated at any time is largely determined by the demand for each in

2

a competitive environment. The loan fees charged, interest rates and other provisions of mortgage loans are determined by us on the basis of our own pricing criteria and competitive market conditions. Interest rates and payments on our adjustable-rate mortgage loans generally adjust annually after an initial fixed period that ranges from one to 10 years. Interest rates and payments on our adjustable-rate loans generally are adjusted to a rate typically equal to 2.75% to 3.25% above the one-, three- or ten-year constant maturity Treasury index. The maximum amount by which the interest rate may be increased or decreased is generally 1 or 2% per adjustment period and the lifetime interest rate cap is generally 5 or 6% over the initial interest rate of the loan.

In order to attract borrowers, we have developed products and policies to provide flexibility in times of changing interest rates. For example, some of our adjustable-rate loans permit the borrower to convert the loan to a fixed-rate loan. In addition, for a fixed fee plus a percentage of the loan amount, we will allow the borrower to modify a loan’s interest rate to equal the current rate for that loan type. Recently, we began offering loans that require the payment of interest only for a period of years.

Because of our location on the South Jersey shore, some of the properties securing our residential mortgages are second homes or rental properties. At December 31, 2005, 42.4% of our one- to four-family mortgage loans were secured by second homes or rental properties. If the property is a second home, our underwriting emphasizes the borrower’s ability to repay the loan out of current income. If the property is a rental property, we focus on the anticipated income from the property. Interest rates on loans secured by rental properties are typically 1/2% higher than comparable loans secured by primary or secondary residences. Although the industry generally considers mortgage loans secured by rental properties or second homes to have a higher risk of default than mortgage loans secured by the borrower’s primary residence, we have not experienced credit problems on these types of loans due to our strict underwriting standards.

While one- to four-family residential real estate loans are normally originated with up to 30-year terms, such loans typically remain outstanding for substantially shorter periods because borrowers often prepay their loans in full upon sale of the property pledged as security or upon refinancing the original loan. Therefore, average loan maturity is a function of, among other factors, the level of purchase and sale activity in the real estate market, prevailing interest rates and the interest rates payable on outstanding loans.

We generally do not make conventional loans with loan-to-value ratios exceeding 95% and generally make loans with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80% only when secured by first and/or second liens on owner-occupied one- to four-family residences or private mortgage insurance. Loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80% generally require private mortgage insurance or additional collateral. When the residence securing the loan is not the borrower’s primary residence, loan-to-value ratios are limited to 80% when secured by a first lien or 90% when secured by a first and second lien or private mortgage insurance. We require all properties securing mortgage loans to be appraised by a board-approved independent appraiser. We require title insurance on all first mortgage loans. Borrowers must obtain hazard insurance, and flood insurance for loans on property located in a flood zone, before closing the loan.

In an effort to provide financing for low and moderate income and first-time buyers, we offer special home buyers programs. We offer adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans through these programs to qualified individuals and originate the loans using modified underwriting guidelines, including reduced fees and loan conditions.

Commercial and Multi-Family Real Estate Loans. We offer fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by commercial real estate. In the past, we originated loans secured by multi-family properties and we still have a few in our portfolio. Although we have not made multi-family mortgage loans in recent years, we may offer these loans in the future. Our commercial real estate loans are generally secured by condominiums, small office buildings and owner-occupied properties located in our market area and used for businesses.

We originate fixed-rate and adjustable-rate commercial real estate loans for terms up to 20 years. Interest rates and payments on adjustable-rate loans typically adjust every five years after a five-year initial fixed period

3

to a rate typically 3 to 4% above the five-year constant maturity Treasury index. In some instances, there are adjustment period or lifetime interest rate caps. Loans are secured by first mortgages and amounts generally do not exceed 80% of the property’s appraised value.

Construction Loans. We originate loans to individuals and, to a lesser extent, builders to finance the construction of residential dwellings. We also make construction loans for commercial development projects, including condominiums, apartment buildings and owner-occupied properties used for businesses. Our construction loans generally provide for the payment of interest only during the construction phase, which is usually 12 months. At the end of the construction phase, the loan generally converts to a permanent mortgage loan. Loans generally can be made with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 90% on residential construction and 80% on commercial construction. At December 31, 2005, the largest outstanding residential construction loan commitment was $1.3 million, $1.0 million of which was outstanding. At December 31, 2005, the largest outstanding commercial construction loan commitment was $1.7 million, of which $1.3 million was outstanding. These loans were performing according to their terms at December 31, 2005. Before making a commitment to fund a residential construction loan, we require an appraisal of the property by an independent licensed appraiser. We also will require an inspection of the property before disbursement of funds during the term of the construction loan.

Commercial Loans. We make commercial business loans to a variety of professionals, sole proprietorships and small businesses in our market area. Our largest commercial loan relationship was a $2.7 million loan secured by property. This loan was performing according to its original terms at December 31, 2005.

We offer term loans for capital improvements, equipment acquisition and long-term working capital. These loans are secured by business assets other than real estate, such as business equipment and inventory and are originated with maximum loan-to-value ratios of 80% of the value of the pledged property. We originate lines of credit to finance the working capital needs of businesses to be repaid by seasonal cash flows or to provide a period of time during which the business can borrow funds for planned equipment purchases. We also offer time notes, letters of credit and loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. Time notes are short-term loans and will only be granted on the basis of a defined source of repayment of principal and interest from a specific foreseeable event. We had balances of these loans of $16.6 million and $14.1 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

When making commercial business loans, we consider the financial statements of the borrower, the borrower’s payment history of both corporate and personal debt, the debt service capabilities of the borrower, the projected cash flows of the business, the viability of the industry in which the customer operates and the value of the collateral.

Consumer Loans. Our consumer loans are primarily home equity loans and lines of credit. Also included in our consumer loan portfolio are loans secured by passbook or certificate accounts, automobile loans, secured and unsecured personal loans and home improvement loans.

The procedures for underwriting consumer loans include an assessment of the applicant’s payment history on other debts and ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. Although the applicant’s creditworthiness is a primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the collateral, if any, to the proposed loan amount. Home equity lines of credit have adjustable rates of interest that are indexed to the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal. Home equity loans are fixed-rate loans. We offer home equity loans with a maximum combined loan-to-value ratio of 90% and lines of credit with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 80%. A home equity line of credit may be drawn down by the borrower for an initial period of ten years from the date of the loan agreement. During this period, the borrower has the option of paying, on a monthly basis, either principal and interest or only interest. After the initial draw period, the line of credit is frozen and the amount outstanding must be repaid over the remaining ten years of the loan term.

Loan Underwriting Risks. While we anticipate that adjustable-rate loans will better offset the adverse effects of an increase in interest rates as compared to fixed-rate mortgages, the increased mortgage payments required of adjustable-rate loan borrowers in a rising interest rate environment could cause an increase in delinquencies and defaults. The marketability of the underlying property also may be adversely affected in a high interest rate environment. In addition, although adjustable-rate mortgage loans help make our asset base more responsive to changes in interest rates, the extent of this interest sensitivity is limited by the annual and lifetime interest rate adjustment limits.

Loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Of primary concern in multi-family and commercial real estate lending is the borrower’s creditworthiness and the feasibility and cash flow potential of the project. Payments on loans secured by income properties often depend on the successful operation and management of the properties. As a result, repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent than residential real estate loans to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. To monitor cash flows on income properties, we require borrowers and loan guarantors, if any, to provide annual financial statements on multi-family and commercial real estate loans. In reaching a decision on whether to make a multi-family and commercial real estate loan, we consider the net operating income of the property, the borrower’s expertise, credit history and profitability and the value of the underlying property. In addition, with respect to commercial real estate rental properties, we will also consider the term of the lease and the quality of the tenants. We have generally required that the properties securing these real estate loans have debt service coverage ratios (the ratio of earnings before debt service to debt service) of at least 1.25x. Environmental surveys are generally required for commercial real estate loans of $500,000 or more.

Construction financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction and the estimated cost (including interest) of construction. During the construction phase, a number of factors could result in delays and cost overruns. If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of the building. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted, at or before the maturity of the loan, with a building having a value which is insufficient to assure full repayment. If we are forced to foreclose on a building before or at completion due to a default, there can be no assurance that we will be able to recover all of the unpaid balance of, and accrued interest on, the loan as well as related foreclosure and holding costs.

Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing such loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value.

Consumer loans may entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or secured by assets that depreciate rapidly. In such cases, repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment for the outstanding loan and the remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In addition, consumer loan collections depend on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and therefore are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

Loan Originations, Purchases and Sales. Loan originations come from a number of sources. The primary source of loan originations are existing customers, our in-house loan originators, advertising and referrals from customers.

5

We generally originate loans for portfolio but from time to time will sell fixed-rate and one- to four- family residential mortgage loans in the secondary market. Our decision to sell loans is based on prevailing market interest rate conditions and interest rate risk management. Generally, loans are sold with servicing retained and without recourse. We have the ability to sell loans on a flow basis to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but our loan sales in recent years have primarily been bulk sales to other financial institutions. We sold $5.1 million of loans in the year ended December 31, 2003 and no loans in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. Our lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory, underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by our board of directors and management. The board of directors has granted loan approval authority to certain officers up to prescribed limits, depending on the officer’s experience and tenure. The Chief Executive Officer or Chief Lending Officer may combine their lending authority with that of one or more other officers. All extensions of credit that exceed $1.0 million in the aggregate require the approval of the board of directors.

Loans to One Borrower. The maximum amount that we may lend to one borrower and the borrower’s related entities is generally limited, by regulation, to 15% of our stated capital and reserves. At December 31, 2005, our regulatory limit on loans to one borrower was $8.5 million. At that date, our largest lending relationship was $3.3 million and included loans secured by real estate and business assets located in Atlantic and Cape May Counties, New Jersey, all of which were performing according to their original repayment terms at December 31, 2005.

Loan Commitments. We issue commitments for fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans conditioned upon the occurrence of certain events. Commitments to originate mortgage loans are legally binding agreements to lend to our customers. Commitments excluding lines and letters of credit as of December 31, 2005 totaled $22.9 million as compared to $15.9 million at December 31, 2004.

Investment Activities

We have legal authority to invest in various types of liquid assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies and of state and municipal governments, mortgage-backed securities and certificates of deposit of federally insured institutions. Within certain regulatory limits, we also may invest a portion of our assets in corporate securities and mutual funds. We also are required to maintain an investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of New York stock. While we have the authority under applicable law and our investment policies to invest in derivative securities, we had no such investments at December 31, 2005.

At December 31, 2005, our investment portfolio consisted primarily of U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed securities issued primarily by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, corporate debt securities, securities of municipal governments and mutual funds that invest in adjustable-rate mortgages.

Our investment objectives are to provide and maintain liquidity, to provide collateral for pledging requirements, to establish an acceptable level of interest rate and credit risk, to provide an alternate source of low-risk investments when demand for loans is weak and to generate a favorable return. Our board of directors has the overall responsibility for the investment portfolio, including approval of the investment policy and appointment of the Investment Committee. The Investment Committee consists of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. The Investment Committee is responsible for implementation of the investment policy and monitoring our investment performance. Individual investment transactions are reviewed and approved by the board of directors on a monthly basis, while portfolio composition and performance are reviewed at least quarterly by the Investment Committee.

Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds

General. Deposits, borrowings and loan repayments are the major sources of our funds for lending and other investment purposes. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments are significantly influenced by general interest rates and money market conditions.

6

Deposit Accounts. Substantially all of our depositors are residents of the State of New Jersey. Deposits are attracted from within our market area through the offering of a broad selection of deposit instruments, including noninterest-bearing demand deposits (such as checking accounts), interest-bearing demand accounts (such as NOW and money market accounts), regular savings accounts and certificates of deposit. Deposit account terms vary according to the minimum balance required, the time periods the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate, among other factors. In determining the terms of our deposit accounts, we consider the rates offered by our competition, our liquidity needs, profitability to us, matching deposit and loan products and customer preferences and concerns. We generally review our deposit mix and pricing weekly. Our current strategy is to offer competitive rates and be at the upper end of the market for rates on money market and passbook accounts.

In addition to accounts for individuals, we also offer deposit accounts designed for the businesses operating in our market area. Our business banking deposit products include a commercial checking account and a sweep account. We have sought to increase our commercial deposits through the offering of these products, particularly to our commercial borrowers.

Since 1996, we have offered deposit services to municipalities and local school boards in our market area. At December 31, 2005, we had $60.1 million in deposits from five municipalities and thirteen school boards, all in the form of checking accounts. We emphasize high levels of service in order to attract and retain these accounts. Unlike time deposits by municipalities, which often move from bank to bank in search of the highest available rate, checking accounts tend to be stable relationships.

Borrowings. We utilize advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and securities sold under agreements to repurchase to supplement our supply of investable funds and to meet deposit withdrawal requirements. We also have a $1.0 million line of credit from another bank, of which, none is in use. The Federal Home Loan Bank functions as a central reserve bank providing credit for member financial institutions. As a member, we are required to own capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank and are authorized to apply for advances on the security of such stock and certain of our mortgage loans and other assets (principally securities which are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States), provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. Advances are made under several different programs, each having its own interest rate and range of maturities. Depending on the program, limitations on the amount of advances are based either on a fixed percentage of an institution’s net worth or on the Federal Home Loan Bank’s assessment of the institution’s creditworthiness. Under its current credit policies, the Federal Home Loan Bank generally limits advances to 30% of a member’s assets using mortgage collateral and an additional 20% using pledged securities for a total maximum indebtedness of 50% of assets. The Federal Home Loan Bank determines specific lines of credit for each member institution.

Subordinated Debt. In 1998, Ocean Shore Capital Trust I, a business trust formed by us, issued $15.0 million of preferred securities in a private placement and issued approximately $464,000 of common securities to Ocean Shore Holding. Ocean Shore Capital Trust I used the proceeds of these issuances to purchase $15.5 million of our junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures. The interest rate on the debentures and the preferred trust securities is 8.67%. The debentures are the sole assets of Ocean Shore Capital Trust I and are subordinate to all of our existing and future obligations for borrowed money, our obligations under letters of credit and any guarantees by us of any such obligations. The preferred trust securities generally rank equal to the trust common securities in priority of payment, but rank prior to the trust common securities if and so long as we fail to make principal or interest payments on the debentures. Concurrently with the issuance of the debentures and the preferred trust and common securities, we issued a guarantee related to the trust securities for the benefit of the holders. Our obligations under the debentures, the related indenture, the trust agreement relating to the trust securities, and the guarantee constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by us of the obligations of Ocean Shore Capital Trust I under the preferred trust securities.

The stated maturity of the debentures is July 15, 2028. In addition, the debentures are subject to redemption at a specified price at the option of Ocean Shore Holding, subject to prior regulatory approval, in whole or in part

7

after July 15, 2008. The redemption price begins at 104.335% of par and declines each year until it reaches par in 2018. The debentures are also subject to redemption prior to July 15, 2008 at a specified price after the occurrence of certain events that would either have a negative effect on our regulatory capital, have a negative tax effect on Ocean Shore Capital Trust I or us or would result in Ocean Shore Capital Trust I being treated as an investment company that is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Upon repayment of the debentures at their stated maturity or following their redemption, Ocean Shore Capital Trust I will use the proceeds of such repayment to redeem an equivalent amount of outstanding preferred trust securities and trust common securities.

Personnel

As of December 31, 2005, we had 107 full-time employees and 22 part-time employees, none of whom is represented by a collective bargaining unit. We believe our relationship with our employees is good.

Legal Proceedings

Periodically, there have been various claims and lawsuits against us, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings on properties in which we hold security interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans and other issues incident to our business. We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Subsidiaries

Ocean Shore Holding’s only subsidiary is Ocean City Home Bank.

Ocean City Home Bank’s only active subsidiary is Seashore Financial Services, LLC. Seashore Financial Services receives commissions from the sale of non-deposit investment and insurance products.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

General

Ocean City Home Bank is subject to extensive regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision, as its primary federal regulator, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as its deposits insurer. Ocean City Home Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System and its deposit accounts are insured up to applicable limits by the Savings Association Insurance Fund managed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Ocean City Home Bank must file reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation concerning its activities and financial condition in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain transactions such as mergers with, or acquisitions of, other financial institutions. There are periodic examinations by the Office of Thrift Supervision and, under certain circumstances, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to evaluate Ocean City Home Bank’s safety and soundness and compliance with various regulatory requirements. This regulatory structure is intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in such policies, whether by the Office of Thrift Supervision, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on Ocean Shore Holding, OC Financial MHC and Ocean City Home Bank and their operations. Ocean Shore Holding and OC Financial MHC, as savings and loan holding companies, are required to file certain reports with, are subject to examination by, and otherwise must comply with the rules and regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Ocean Shore Holding also is subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal securities laws.

Certain of the regulatory requirements that are applicable to Ocean City Home Bank, Ocean Shore Holding and OC Financial MHC are described below. This description of statutes and regulations is not intended to be a complete explanation of such statutes and regulations and their effects on Ocean City Home Bank, Ocean Shore Holding and OC Financial MHC and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual statutes and regulations.

Regulation of Federal Savings Associations

Business Activities. Federal law and regulations, primarily the Home Owners’ Loan Act and the regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision, govern the activities of federal savings banks, such as Ocean City Home Bank. These laws and regulations delineate the nature and extent of the activities in which federal savings banks may engage. In particular, certain lending authority for federal savings banks, e.g., commercial, non-residential real property loans and consumer loans, is limited to a specified percentage of the institution’s capital or assets.

Branching. Federal savings banks are authorized to establish branch offices in any state or states of the United States and its territories, subject to the approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision.

Capital Requirements. The Office of Thrift Supervision’s capital regulations require federal savings institutions to meet three minimum capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital to total assets ratio, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS examination rating system) and an 8% risk-based capital ratio. In addition, the prompt corrective action standards discussed below also establish, in effect, a minimum 2% tangible capital standard, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS system) and, together with the risk-based capital standard itself, a 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital standard. The Office of Thrift Supervision regulations also require that, in meeting the tangible, leverage and risk-based capital standards, institutions must generally deduct investments in and loans to subsidiaries engaged in activities as principal that are not permissible for a national bank.

The risk-based capital standard requires federal savings institutions to maintain Tier 1 (core) and total capital (which is defined as core capital and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 4% and 8%, respectively. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets, recourse obligations, residual interests and direct credit substitutes, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of 0% to 100%, assigned by the Office of Thrift Supervision capital regulation based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Core (Tier 1) capital is defined as common stockholders’ equity (including retained earnings), certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles other than certain mortgage servicing rights and credit card relationships. The components of supplementary capital currently include cumulative preferred stock, long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock, the allowance for loan and lease losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets and up to 45% of unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values. Overall, the amount of supplementary capital included as part of total capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital.

The Office of Thrift Supervision also has authority to establish individual minimum capital requirements in appropriate cases upon a determination that an institution’s capital level is or may become inadequate in light of the particular circumstances. At December 31, 2005, Ocean City Home Bank met each of these capital requirements.

Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action. The Office of Thrift Supervision is required to take certain supervisory actions against undercapitalized institutions, the severity of which depends upon the institution’s degree of undercapitalization. Generally, a savings institution that has a ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets of less than 8%, a ratio of Tier 1 (core) capital to risk-weighted assets of less than 4% or a ratio of core capital to total assets of less than 4% (3% or less for institutions with the highest examination rating) is considered to be “undercapitalized.” A savings institution that has a total risk-based capital ratio less than 6%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage ratio that is less than 3% is considered to be “significantly

9

undercapitalized” and a savings institution that has a tangible capital to assets ratio equal to or less than 2% is deemed to be “critically undercapitalized.” Subject to a narrow exception, the Office of Thrift Supervision is required to appoint a receiver or conservator within specified time frames for an institution that is “critically undercapitalized.” An institution must file a capital restoration plan with the Office of Thrift Supervision within 45 days of the date it receives notice that it is “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” or “critically undercapitalized.” Compliance with the plan must be guaranteed by any parent holding company. In addition, numerous mandatory supervisory actions become immediately applicable to an undercapitalized institution, including, but not limited to, increased monitoring by regulators and restrictions on growth, capital distributions and expansion. “Significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized” institutions are subject to more extensive mandatory regulatory actions. The Office of Thrift Supervision could also take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors.

Loans to One Borrower. Federal law provides that savings institutions are generally subject to the limits on loans to one borrower applicable to national banks. A savings institution may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be lent, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if secured by specified readily-marketable collateral.

Standards for Safety and Soundness. As required by statute, the federal banking agencies have adopted Interagency Guidelines prescribing Standards for Safety and Soundness. The guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If the Office of Thrift Supervision determines that a savings institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the Office of Thrift Supervision may require the institution to submit an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard.

Limitation on Capital Distributions. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations impose limitations upon all capital distributions by a savings institution, including cash dividends, payments to repurchase its shares and payments to stockholders of another institution in a cash-out merger. Under the regulations, an application to and the prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision is required before any capital distribution if the institution does not meet the criteria for “expedited treatment” of applications under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations (i.e., generally, examination and Community Reinvestment Act ratings in the two top categories), the total capital distributions for the calendar year exceed net income for that year plus the amount of retained net income for the preceding two years, the institution would be undercapitalized following the distribution or the distribution would otherwise be contrary to a statute, regulation or agreement with the Office of Thrift Supervision. If an application is not required, the institution must still provide prior notice to the Office of Thrift Supervision of the capital distribution if, like Ocean City Home Bank, it is a subsidiary of a holding company. If Ocean City Home Bank’s capital were ever to fall below its regulatory requirements or the Office of Thrift Supervision notified it that it was in need of increased supervision, its ability to make capital distributions could be restricted. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision could prohibit a proposed capital distribution that would otherwise be permitted by the regulation, if the agency determines that such distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test. Federal law requires savings institutions to meet a qualified thrift lender test. Under the test, a savings association is required to either qualify as a “domestic building and loan association” under the Internal Revenue Code or maintain at least 65% of its “portfolio assets” (total assets less: (i) specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets; (ii) intangibles, including goodwill; and (iii) the value of property used to conduct business) in certain “qualified thrift investments” (primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including certain mortgage-backed securities) in at least 9 months out of each 12-month period. Legislation has expanded the extent to which education loans, credit card loans and small business loans may be considered “qualified thrift investments.”

10

A savings institution that fails the qualified thrift lender test is subject to certain operating restrictions and may be required to convert to a bank charter. As of December 31, 2005, Ocean City Home Bank maintained 84.4% of its portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments and, therefore, met the qualified thrift lender test.

Transactions with Related Parties. Ocean City Home Bank’s authority to engage in transactions with “affiliates” is limited by Office of Thrift Supervision regulations and by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act as implemented by the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation W. The term “affiliates” for these purposes generally means any company that controls or is under common control with an institution. Ocean Shore Holding, OC Financial MHC and their non-savings institution subsidiaries would be affiliates of Ocean City Home Bank. In general, transactions with affiliates must be on terms that are as favorable to the institution as comparable transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain types of transactions are restricted to an aggregate percentage of the institution’s capital. Collateral in specified amounts must usually be provided by affiliates in order to receive loans from an institution. In addition, savings institutions are prohibited from lending to any affiliate that is engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and no savings institution may purchase the securities of any affiliate other than a subsidiary.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 generally prohibits a company from making loans to its executive officers and directors. However, that act contains a specific exception for loans by a depository institution to its executive officers and directors in compliance with federal banking laws. Under such laws, Ocean City Home Bank’s authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders (“insiders”), as well as entities such persons control, is limited. The law restricts both the individual and aggregate amount of loans Ocean City Home Bank may make to insiders based, in part, on Ocean City Home Bank’s capital position and requires certain board approval procedures to be followed. Such loans must be made on terms substantially the same as those offered to unaffiliated individuals and not involve more than the normal risk of repayment. There is an exception for loans made pursuant to a benefit or compensation program that is widely available to all employees of the institution and does not give preference to insiders over other employees. There are additional restrictions applicable to loans to executive officers.

Enforcement. The Office of Thrift Supervision has primary enforcement responsibility over federal savings institutions and has the authority to bring actions against the institution and all institution-affiliated parties, including stockholders, and any attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on an insured institution. Formal enforcement action may range from the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order to removal of officers and/or directors to institution of receivership, conservatorship or termination of deposit insurance. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and can amount to $25,000 per day, or even $1 million per day in especially egregious cases. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority to recommend to the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision that enforcement action be taken with respect to a particular savings institution. If action is not taken by the Director, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority to take such action under certain circumstances. Federal law also establishes criminal penalties for certain violations.

Assessments. Federal savings banks are required to pay assessments to the Office of Thrift Supervision to fund its operations. The general assessments, paid on a semi-annual basis, are based upon the savings institution’s total assets, including consolidated subsidiaries, as reported in the institution’s latest quarterly thrift financial report.

Insurance of Deposit Accounts. Ocean City Home Bank is a member of the Savings Association Insurance Fund. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation maintains a risk-based assessment system by which institutions are assigned to one of three categories based on their capitalization and one of three subcategories based on examination ratings and other supervisory information. An institution’s assessment rate depends upon the categories to which it is assigned. Assessment rates for Savings Association Insurance Fund member institutions are determined semi-annually by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and currently range from zero basis points of assessable deposits for the healthiest institutions to 27 basis points of assessable deposits for the riskiest.

11

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority to increase insurance assessments. A material increase in Savings Association Insurance Fund insurance premiums would likely have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of Ocean City Home Bank. Management cannot predict what insurance assessment rates will be in the future.

In addition to the assessment for deposit insurance, institutions are required to make payments on bonds issued in the late 1980s by the Financing Corporation to recapitalize the predecessor to the Savings Association Insurance Fund. During the four quarters ended December 31, 2005, Financing Corporation payments for Savings Association Insurance Fund members averaged 1.34 basis points of assessable deposits.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation may terminate an institution’s insurance of deposits upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Office of Thrift Supervision. The management of Ocean City Home Bank does not know of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of deposit insurance.

Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005. The Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (the “Act”), signed by the President on February 8, 2006, revised the laws governing the federal deposit insurance system. The Act provides for the consolidation of the Bank and Savings Association Insurance Funds into a combined “Deposit Insurance Fund.”

Under the Act, insurance premiums are to be determined by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation based on a number of factors, primarily the risk of loss that insured institutions pose to the Deposit Insurance Fund. The legislation eliminates the current minimum 1.25% reserve ratio for the insurance funds, the mandatory assessments when the ratio fall below 1.25% and the prohibition on assessing the highest quality banks when the ratio is above 1.25%. The Act provides the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation with flexibility to adjust the new insurance fund’s reserve ratio between 1.15% and 1.5%, depending on projected losses, economic changes and assessment rates at the end of a calendar year.

The Act increased deposit insurance coverage limits from $100,000 to $250,000 for certain types of Individual Retirement Accounts, 401(k) plans and other retirement savings accounts. While it preserved the $100,000 coverage limit for individual accounts and municipal deposits, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was furnished with the discretion to adjust all coverage levels to keep pace with inflation beginning in 2010. Also, institutions that become undercapitalized will be prohibited from accepting certain employee benefit plan deposits.

The consolidation of the Bank and Savings Association Insurance Funds must occur no later than the first day of the calendar quarter that begins 90-days after the date of the Act’s enactment, i.e., July 1, 2006. The Act also states that the FDIC must promulgate final regulations implementing the remainder of its provisions not later than 270 days after its enactment.

At this time, management cannot predict the effect, if any, that the Act will have on insurance premiums paid by Ocean City Home Bank.

Federal Home Loan Bank System. Ocean City Home Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. Ocean City Home Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in that Federal Home Loan Bank. Ocean City Home Bank was in compliance with this requirement with an investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock at December 31, 2005 of $2.6 million.

12

The Federal Home Loan Banks are required to provide funds for the resolution of insolvent thrifts in the late 1980s and to contribute funds for affordable housing programs. These requirements could reduce the amount of dividends that the Federal Home Loan Banks pay to their members and could also result in the Federal Home Loan Banks imposing a higher rate of interest on advances to their members. If dividends were reduced, or interest on future Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased, our net interest income would likely also be reduced.

Community Reinvestment Act. Under the Community Reinvestment Act, as implemented by Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, a savings association has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with its safe and sound operation to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The Community Reinvestment Act does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institution’s discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act requires the Office of Thrift Supervision, in connection with its examination of a savings association, to assess the institution’s record of meeting the credit needs of its community and to take such record into account in its evaluation of certain applications by such institution.

The Community Reinvestment Act requires public disclosure of an institution’s rating and requires the Office of Thrift Supervision to provide a written evaluation of an association’s Community Reinvestment Act performance utilizing a four-tiered descriptive rating system.

Ocean City Home Bank received a “satisfactory” rating as a result of its most recent Community Reinvestment Act assessment.

Holding Company Regulation

General. Ocean Shore Holding and OC Financial MHC are savings and loan holding companies within the meaning of federal law. As such, they are registered with the Office of Thrift Supervision and are subject to Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, examinations, supervision, reporting requirements and regulations concerning corporate governance and activities. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision has enforcement authority over Ocean Shore Holding and OC Financial MHC and their non-savings institution subsidiaries. Among other things, this authority permits the Office of Thrift Supervision to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to Ocean City Home Bank.

Restrictions Applicable to Mutual Holding Companies. According to federal law and Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, a mutual holding company, such as OC Financial MHC, may generally engage in the following activities: (1) investing in the stock of a savings association; (2) acquiring a mutual association through the merger of such association into a savings association subsidiary of such holding company or an interim savings association subsidiary of such holding company; (3) merging with or acquiring another holding company, one of whose subsidiaries is a savings association; and (4) any activity approved by the Federal Reserve Board for a bank holding company or financial holding company or previously approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision for multiple savings and loan holding companies. Recent legislation, which authorized mutual holding companies to engage in activities permitted for financial holding companies, expanded the authorized activities. Financial holding companies may engage in a broad array of financial service activities including insurance and securities.

Federal law prohibits a savings and loan holding company, including a federal mutual holding company, from directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, acquiring more than 5% of the voting stock of another savings association, or its holding company, without prior written approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Federal law also prohibits a savings and loan holding company from acquiring more than 5% of a company engaged in activities other than those authorized for savings and loan holding companies by federal law, or acquiring or retaining control of a depository institution that is not insured by the Federal Deposit

13

Insurance Corporation. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings associations, the Office of Thrift Supervision must consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the insurance funds, the convenience and needs of the community and competitive factors.

The Office of Thrift Supervision is prohibited from approving any acquisition that would result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings associations in more than one state, except: (1) the approval of interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies, and (2) the acquisition of a savings association in another state if the laws of the state of the target savings institution specifically permit such acquisitions. The states vary in the extent to which they permit interstate savings and loan holding company acquisitions.

If the savings association subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company fails to meet the qualified thrift lender test, the holding company must register with the Federal Reserve Board as a bank holding company within one year of the savings association’s failure to so qualify.

Stock Holding Company Subsidiary Regulation. The Office of Thrift Supervision has adopted regulations governing the two-tier mutual holding company form of organization and subsidiary stock holding companies that are controlled by mutual holding companies. Ocean Shore Holding is the stock holding company subsidiary of OC Financial MHC. Ocean Shore Holding is permitted to engage in activities that are permitted for OC Financial MHC subject to the same restrictions and conditions.

Waivers of Dividends by OC Financial MHC. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations require OC Financial MHC to notify the Office of Thrift Supervision if it proposes to waive receipt of dividends from Ocean Shore Holding. The Office of Thrift Supervision reviews dividend waiver notices on a case-by-case basis, and, in general, does not object to any such waiver if: (i) the mutual holding company’s board of directors determines that such waiver is consistent with such directors’ fiduciary duties to the mutual holding company’s members; (ii) for as long as the savings association subsidiary is controlled by the mutual holding company, the dollar amount of dividends waived by the mutual holding company is considered as a restriction on the retained earnings of the savings association, which restriction, if material, is disclosed in the public financial statements of the savings association as a note to the financial statements; (iii) the amount of any dividend waived by the mutual holding company is available for declaration as a dividend solely to the mutual holding company, and, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, where the savings association determines that the payment of such dividend to the mutual holding company is probable, an appropriate dollar amount is recorded as a liability; and (iv) the amount of any waived dividend is considered as having been paid by the savings association in evaluating any proposed dividend under Office of Thrift Supervision capital distribution regulations. We anticipate that OC Financial MHC will waive dividends that Ocean Shore Holding may pay, if any.

Conversion of OC Financial MHC to Stock Form. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations permit OC Financial MHC to convert from the mutual form of organization to the capital stock form of organization. There can be no assurance when, if ever, a conversion transaction will occur, and the board of directors has no current intention or plan to undertake a conversion transaction. In a conversion transaction, a new holding company would be formed as the successor to Ocean Shore Holding, OC Financial MHC’s corporate existence would end, and certain depositors of Ocean City Home Bank would receive the right to subscribe for additional shares of the new holding company. In a conversion transaction, each share of common stock held by stockholders other than OC Financial MHC would be automatically converted into a number of shares of common stock of the new holding company based on an exchange ratio determined at the time of conversion that ensures that stockholders other than OC Financial MHC own the same percentage of common stock in the new holding company as they owned in Ocean Shore Holding immediately before conversion. The total number of shares held by stockholders other than OC Financial MHC after a conversion transaction would be increased by any purchases by such stockholders in the stock offering conducted as part of the conversion transaction.

14

Restrictions on Remutualization Transactions. Current Office of Thrift Supervision regulations permit a mutual holding company to be acquired by a mutual institution in a remutualization transaction. However, in June 2003, the Office of Thrift Supervision issued a policy statement indicating that it views remutualization transactions as raising significant issues concerning disparate treatment of minority stockholders and mutual members of the target entity and raising issues concerning the effect on the mutual members of the acquiring entity. Under certain circumstances, the Office of Thrift Supervision intends to give these issues special scrutiny and reject applications providing for the remutualization of a mutual holding company unless the applicant can clearly demonstrate that the Office of Thrift Supervision’s concerns are not warranted in the particular case. The Office of Thrift Supervision will require empirical data that demonstrates that the minority stockholders are receiving a reasonable value in proportion to their interest in the company. If any of the pricing parameters specified by the Office of Thrift Supervision are exceeded, the Office of Thrift Supervision will consider requiring that the transaction be approved by a majority of the votes eligible to be cast by the members of the acquiring mutual and the target mutual holding company without the use of running proxies.

Since the Office of Thrift Supervision policy on remutualization transactions was issued, there has been only one such transaction announced. It is likely that the pricing parameters imposed by the Office of Thrift Supervision policy will make remutualization transactions less attractive to mutual holding companies.

Acquisition of Control. Under the federal Change in Bank Control Act, a notice must be submitted to the Office of Thrift Supervision if any person (including a company), or group acting in concert, seeks to acquire “control” of a savings and loan holding company or savings association. An acquisition of “control” can occur upon the acquisition of 10% or more of the voting stock of a savings and loan holding company or savings institution or as otherwise defined by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Under the Change in Bank Control Act, the Office of Thrift Supervision has 60 days from the filing of a complete notice to act, taking into consideration certain factors, including the financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the anti-trust effects of the acquisition. Any company that so acquires control would then be subject to regulation as a savings and loan holding company.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 implemented a number of legislative reforms intended to address corporate and accounting fraud. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act restricts the scope of services that may be provided by accounting firms to their public company audit clients and any non-audit services being provided to a public company audit client will require pre-approval by the company’s audit committee. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires chief executive officers and chief financial officers, or their equivalent, to certify to the accuracy of periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, subject to civil and criminal penalties if they knowingly or willingly violate this certification requirement.

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, bonuses issued to top executives before restatement of a company’s financial statements are now subject to disgorgement if such restatement was due to corporate misconduct. Executives are also prohibited from insider trading during retirement plan “blackout” periods, and loans to company executives (other than loans by financial institutions permitted by federal rules and regulations) are restricted. The legislation accelerates the time frame for disclosures by public companies and changes in ownership in a company’s securities by directors and executive officers.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act also increases the oversight of, and codifies certain requirements relating to audit committees of public companies and how they interact with the company’s “registered public accounting firm.” Among other requirements, companies must disclose whether at least one member of the committee is a “financial expert” (as such term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission) and if not, why not.

15

Privacy Requirements of the GLBA

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 provided for sweeping financial modernization for commercial banks, savings banks, securities firms, insurance companies, and other financial institutions operating in the United States. Among other provisions, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act places limitations on the sharing of consumer financial information with unaffiliated third parties. Specifically, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires all financial institutions offering financial products or services to retail customers to provide such customers with the financial institution’s privacy policy and provide such customers the opportunity to “opt out” of the sharing of personal financial information with unaffiliated third parties.

Anti-Money Laundering

The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (referred to as the “USA PATRIOT Act”) significantly expanded the responsibilities of financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, in preventing the use of the U.S. financial system to fund terrorist activities. Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act provides for a significant overhaul of the U.S. anti-money laundering regime. Among other provisions, it requires financial institutions operating in the United States to develop new anti-money laundering compliance programs, due diligence policies and controls to ensure the detection and reporting of money laundering. Such required compliance programs are intended to supplement existing compliance requirements, also applicable to financial institutions, under the Bank Secrecy Act and the Office of Foreign Assets Control Regulations.

Other Regulations

Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by Ocean City Home Bank are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. Ocean City Home Bank’s loan operations are also subject to federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:

• Truth-In-Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers;

• Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves;

• Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit;

• Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1978, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies;

• Fair Debt Collection Act, governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies; and

• rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal laws.

The deposit operations of Ocean City Home Bank also are subject to the:

• Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records;

• Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E promulgated thereunder, which governs automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers’ rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services; and

• Check Clearing for the 21^st Century Act (also known as “Check 21”), which, effective October 28, 2004, gave “substitute checks,” such as digital check images and copies made from that image, the same legal standing as the original paper check.

Federal and State Taxation

Federal Income Taxation

General. We report our income on a fiscal year basis using the accrual method of accounting. The federal income tax laws apply to us in the same manner as to other corporations with some exceptions, including particularly our reserve for bad debts discussed below. The following discussion of tax matters is intended only as a summary and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to us. Our federal income tax returns have been either audited or closed under the statute of limitations through tax year 2000. For fiscal year 2005, Ocean City Home Bank’s maximum federal income tax rate was 34%.

Bad Debt Reserves. For fiscal years beginning before December 31, 1996, thrift institutions that qualified under certain definitional tests and other conditions of the Internal Revenue Code were permitted to use certain favorable provisions to calculate their deductions from taxable income for annual additions to their bad debt reserve. A reserve could be established for bad debts on qualifying real property loans, generally secured by interests in real property improved or to be improved, under the percentage of taxable income method or the experience method. The reserve for nonqualifying loans was computed using the experience method. Federal legislation enacted in 1996 repealed the reserve method of accounting for bad debts and the percentage of taxable income method for tax years beginning after 1995 and require savings institutions to recapture or take into income certain portions of their accumulated bad debt reserves. Approximately $2.4 million of our accumulated bad debt reserves would not be recaptured into taxable income unless Ocean City Home Bank makes a “non-dividend distribution” to Ocean Shore Holding as described below.

Distributions. If Ocean City Home Bank makes “non-dividend distributions” to Ocean Shore Holding, the distributions will be considered to have been made from Ocean City Home Bank’s unrecaptured tax bad debt reserves, including the balance of its reserves as of December 31, 1987, to the extent of the “non-dividend distributions,” and then from Ocean City Home Bank’s supplemental reserve for losses on loans, to the extent of those reserves, and an amount based on the amount distributed, but not more than the amount of those reserves, will be included in Ocean City Home Bank’s taxable income. Non-dividend distributions include distributions in excess of Ocean City Home Bank’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal income tax purposes, distributions in redemption of stock, and distributions in partial or complete liquidation. Dividends paid out of Ocean City Home Bank’s current or accumulated earnings and profits will not be so included in Ocean City Home Bank’s taxable income.

The amount of additional taxable income triggered by a non-dividend is an amount that, when reduced by the tax attributable to the income, is equal to the amount of the distribution. Therefore, if Ocean City Home Bank makes a non-dividend distribution to Ocean Shore Holding, approximately one and one-half times the amount of the distribution not in excess of the amount of the reserves would be includable in income for federal income tax purposes, assuming a 34% federal corporate income tax rate. Ocean City Home Bank does not intend to pay dividends that would result in a recapture of any portion of its bad debt reserves.

State Taxation

Ocean City Home Bank, Ocean Shore Holding and Ocean Financial MHC are subject to New Jersey’s Corporation Business Tax at the rate of 9% on its taxable income, before net operating loss deductions and special deductions for federal income tax purposes. For this purpose, “taxable income” generally means federal taxable income subject to certain adjustments (including addition of interest income on state and municipal obligations).

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT

The Board of Directors annually elects the executive officers of OC Financial MHC, Ocean Shore Holding and Ocean City Home Bank, who serve at the Board’s discretion. Our executive officers are:

Name	Position

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Rising interest rates may hurt our profits.

Interest rates were recently at historically low levels. However, since June 30, 2004, the U.S. Federal Reserve has increased its target for the federal funds rate fifteen times to 4.75%. If interest rates continue to rise, and if rates on our deposits and borrowings reprice upwards faster than the rates on our loans and investments, we would experience compression of our interest rate spread and net interest margin, which would have a negative effect on our profitability.

18

Our increased emphasis on commercial lending may expose us to increased lending risks.

At December 31, 2005, $56.3 million, or 13.7%, of our loan portfolio consisted of commercial and multi-family real estate loans, commercial construction loans and commercial business loans. We have grown this portfolio in recent years and intend to continue to emphasize these types of lending. These types of loans generally expose a lender to greater risk of non-payment and loss than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans because repayment of the loans often depends on the successful operation of the property and the income stream of the borrowers. Such loans typically involve larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers compared to one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Also, many of our commercial borrowers have more than one loan outstanding with us. Consequently, an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to a significantly greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to a one- to four-family residential mortgage loan.

A downturn in the local economy or a decline in real estate values could hurt our profits.

Nearly all of our loans are secured by real estate or made to businesses in Atlantic or Cape May Counties, New Jersey. As a result of this concentration, a downturn in the local economy could cause significant increases in nonperforming loans, which would hurt our profits. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in real estate values in our market area. As a result of rising home prices, our loans have been well collateralized. A decline in real estate values could cause some of our mortgage loans to become inadequately collateralized, which would expose us to a greater risk of loss.

Strong competition within our market area could hurt our profits and slow growth.

We face intense competition both in making loans and attracting deposits. This competition has made it more difficult for us to make new loans and at times has forced us to offer higher deposit rates. Price competition for loans and deposits might result in us earning less on our loans and paying more on our deposits, which would reduce net interest income. Competition also makes it more difficult to grow loans and deposits. As of June 30, 2005, we held 4.3% of the deposits in Atlantic County, New Jersey, which was the 8^th largest share of deposits out of 17 financial institutions in the county and 9.3% of the deposits in Cape May County, New Jersey, which was the 6^th largest share of deposits out of 13 financial institutions in the county. Some of the institutions with which we compete have substantially greater resources and lending limits than we have and may offer services that we do not provide. We expect competition to increase in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and the continuing trend of consolidation in the financial services industry. Our profitability depends upon our continued ability to compete successfully in our market area.

We operate in a highly regulated environment and we may be adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations.

We are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision, our chartering authority, and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as insurer of our deposits. OC Financial MHC, Ocean Shore Holding and Ocean City Home Bank are all subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Such regulation and supervision governs the activities in which an institution and its holding company may engage, and are intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and depositors. Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on our operations, the classification of our assets and determination of the level of our allowance for loan losses. Any change in such regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, regulations, legislation or supervisory action, may have a material impact on our operations.

We expect that our return on equity initially will decline as a result of our recently completed public offering.

Return on equity, which equals net income divided by average equity, is a ratio used by many investors to compare the performance of a particular company with other companies. For the year ended December 31, 2005,

19

our return on equity was 5.07%. Over time, we intend to use the net proceeds from our recently completed public offering to increase earnings per share and book value per share, without assuming undue risk, with the goal of achieving a return on equity that is competitive with other publicly held subsidiaries of mutual holding companies. This goal could take a number of years to achieve, and we cannot assure you that it will be attained. Consequently, you should not expect a competitive return on equity in the near future. Failure to achieve a competitive return on equity might make an investment in our common stock unattractive to some investors and might cause our common stock to trade at lower prices than comparable companies with higher returns on equity.

OC Financial MHC’s majority control of our common stock will enable it to exercise voting control over most matters put to a vote of stockholders and will prevent stockholders from forcing a sale or a second-step conversion transaction you may like.

OC Financial MHC owns a majority of Ocean Shore Holding’s common stock and, through its board of directors, will be able to exercise voting control over most matters put to a vote of stockholders. The same directors and officers who manage Ocean Shore Holding and Ocean City Home Bank also manage OC Financial MHC. As a federally chartered mutual holding company, the board of directors of OC Financial MHC must ensure that the interests of depositors of Ocean City Home Bank are represented and considered in matters put to a vote of stockholders of Ocean Shore Holding. Therefore, the votes cast by OC Financial MHC may not be in your personal best interests as a stockholder. For example, OC Financial MHC may exercise its voting control to defeat a stockholder nominee for election to the board of directors of Ocean Shore Holding. In addition, stockholders will not be able to force a merger or second-step conversion transaction without the consent of OC Financial MHC. Some stockholders may desire a sale or merger transaction, since stockholders typically receive a premium for their shares, or a second-step conversion transaction, since fully converted institutions tend to trade at higher multiples than mutual holding companies.

The Office of Thrift Supervision policy on remutualization transactions could prohibit acquisition of Ocean Shore Holding, which may adversely affect our stock price.

Current Office of Thrift Supervision regulations permit a mutual holding company to be acquired by a mutual institution in a remutualization transaction. However, the Office of Thrift Supervision has issued a policy statement indicating that it views remutualization transactions as raising significant issues concerning disparate treatment of minority stockholders and mutual members of the target entity and raising issues concerning the effect on the mutual members of the acquiring entity. Under certain circumstances, the Office of Thrift Supervision intends to give these issues special scrutiny and reject applications providing for the remutualization of a mutual holding company unless the applicant can clearly demonstrate that the Office of Thrift Supervision’s concerns are not warranted in the particular case. Should the Office of Thrift Supervision prohibit or otherwise restrict these transactions in the future, our per share stock price may be adversely affected. In addition, Office of Thrift Supervision regulations prohibit, for three years following completion of the offering, the acquisition of more than 10% of any class of equity security issued by us without the prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision.

Possible nondeductibility of the contribution to Ocean City Home Charitable Foundation.

We estimate that substantially all of the $2.0 million contribution to the Ocean City Home Charitable Foundation made in 2004 should be deductible for federal tax purposes over the permissable six-year period. However, no assurance can be made that we will have sufficient pre-tax income over the five-year period following the year in which the contribution was made to fully utilize the carryover related to the excess contribution. Futhermore, although we have received an opinion from counsel that we will be entitled to the deduction for the contribution to the Ocean City Home Charitable Foundation, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will recognize the Ocean City Home Charitable Foundation as a section 501(c)(3) exempt organization or that the deduction will be permitted. In such event, there would be no tax benefit related to the contribution to the Ocean City Home Charitable Foundation.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Overview

Income. Our primary source of pre-tax income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on our loans and investments, and interest expense, which is the interest that we pay on our deposits, borrowings and subordinated debt. Other significant sources of pre-tax income are service charges—mostly from service charges on deposit accounts—and commissions for various services.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. We evaluate the need to establish allowances against losses on loans on a monthly basis. When additional allowances are necessary, a provision for loan losses is charged to earnings.

Expenses. The noninterest expenses we incur in operating our business consist of salary and employee benefits expenses, occupancy and equipment expenses, advertising expenses, federal insurance premiums and other miscellaneous expenses.

Salaries and employee benefits consist primarily of the salaries and wages paid to our employees, payroll taxes and expenses for health insurance, retirement plans and other employee benefits.

Occupancy and equipment expenses, which are the fixed and variable costs of buildings and equipment, consist primarily of depreciation charges, ATM and data processing expenses, furniture and equipment expenses, maintenance, real estate taxes and costs of utilities. Depreciation of premises and equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on the useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to 40 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or term of the lease.

Advertising expenses include expenses for print, radio and television advertisements, promotions, third-party marketing services and premium items.

Federal insurance premiums are payments we make to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for insurance of our deposit accounts.

Other expenses include expenses for professional services, office supplies, postage, telephone, insurance, charitable contributions, regulatory assessments and other miscellaneous operating expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies

We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. We consider the following to be our critical accounting policies: allowance for loan losses and deferred income taxes.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged to income. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. Among the material estimates required to establish the allowance are the following: loss exposure at default; the amount and timing of future cash flows on impacted loans; value of collateral; and determination of loss factors to be applied to the various elements of the portfolio. All of these estimates are susceptible to significant change. Management reviews the level of the allowance on a monthly basis and establishes the provision for loan losses based upon an evaluation of the portfolio, past loss experience, current economic conditions and other factors related to the collectibility of the loan portfolio.

25

Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews our allowance for loan losses. Such agency may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on its judgments about information available to it at the time of its examination. A large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would negatively affect earnings.

Deferred Income Taxes. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. If current available information raises doubt as to the realization of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance is established. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We exercise significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax liabilities and assets. These judgments require us to make projections of future taxable income. The judgments and estimates we make in determining our deferred tax assets, which are inherently subjective, are reviewed on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record an additional valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. An increase in the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in the period, which would negatively affect earnings.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Loans. Our primary lending activity is the origination of loans secured by real estate. We originate real estate loans secured by one- to four-family residential homes, and to a lesser extent, commercial real estate. At December 31, 2005, real estate mortgage loans totaled $323.0 million, or 78.3% of total loans, compared to $274.1 million, or 80.3% of total loans, at December 31, 2004.

The largest segment of our loan portfolio is one- to four-family residential loans. At December 31, 2005, these loans totaled $294.3 million and represented 71.3% of total loans compared to $247.6 million, or 72.5% of total loans, at December 31, 2004. One- to four-family residential loans increased $46.7 million, or 18.9%, in 2005 as interest rates remained at historically low levels. Our successful loan modification program, which gives customers the ability to modify the terms of their one- to four-family mortgage loans without refinancing, contributed to our ability to retain loan customers as prepayment levels rose due to the low interest rate environment. Under our loan modification program, borrowers who are current in their loan payments can modify their existing loans to the terms then offered for refinancing similar loans. Terms modified may include the interest rate, whether the interest rate is fixed or variable and the length of the loan. Loans modified under this program totaled $7.6 million in 2005 compared to $13.3 million in 2004.

Commercial and multi-family real estate loans totaled $28.7 million and represented 7.0% of total loans at December 31, 2005 compared to $26.5 million, or 7.8% of total loans at December 31, 2004. Commercial and multi-family real estate loans increased $2.2 million, or 8.5%, in 2005.

We also originate construction loans secured by residential and commercial real estate. This portfolio totaled $23.2 million and represented 5.6% of total loans at December 31, 2005 compared to $12.8 million, or 3.7% of total loans at December 31, 2004. Construction loans increased $10.5 million, or 82.3%, in 2005 due to a high level of construction activity in our market area.

We originate commercial business loans secured by business assets other than real estate, such as business equipment, inventory and accounts receivable. Commercial business loans totaled $16.6 million, and represented 4.0% of total loans at December 31, 2005, compared to $14.1 million, or 4.1% of total loans, at December 31, 2004. The $2.5 million, or 17.5% increase in 2005 was primarily attributable to our continuing marketing efforts.

26

We also originate a variety of consumer loans, including home equity loans and lines of credit, loans secured by passbook or certificate accounts and secured and unsecured personal loans. Consumer loans totaled $49.7 million and represented 12.1% of total loans at December 31, 2005 compared to $40.5 million, or 11.9% of total loans, at December 31, 2004. The $9.2 million, or 22.6%, increase in 2005 was due to aggressive marketing activities and competitive pricing on our home equity loan products.

The following table sets forth the composition of our loan portfolio at the dates indicated.

The following table sets forth certain information at December 31, 2005 regarding the dollar amount of loan principal repayments coming due during the periods indicated. The table does not include any estimate of prepayments, which significantly shorten the average life of all loans and may cause our actual repayment experience to differ from that shown below. Demand loans having no stated schedule of repayments and no stated maturity are reported as due in one year or less.

Securities. Our securities portfolio consists primarily of U.S. Government and agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities, municipal securities and mutual funds that invest in adjustable-rate loans and mortgage-backed securities. Although corporate debt securities and municipal securities generally have greater credit risk than U.S. treasury and government agency securities, they generally have higher yields than government securities of similar duration. Securities decreased $21.5 million, or 18.5%, in the year ended December 31, 2005 as we funded increased loan demand.

Management believes that the estimated fair value of the securities is dependent upon the movement in market interest rate and that the unrealized losses are temporary. The determination of whether a decline in market value is other than temporary is necessarily a matter of subjective judgment. The timing and amount of any realized losses reported in the Company’s financial statements could vary if conclusions other than those made by management were to determine whether an other than temporary impairment exists.

At December 31, 2005, twelve debt securities had aggregate depreciation of 1.68% from the Company’s amortized cost basis for 12 months or longer. The unrealized loss relates principally to the decline in market interest rates. As the Company has the ability and intent to hold these debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future, no decline is deemed to be other than temporary.

At December 31, 2005, two mutual fund holdings had aggregate depreciation of 2.90% from the Company’s amortized cost basis for 12 months or longer. These unrealized losses relate principally to changes in interest rates as the mutual fund holdings are debt securities. Although these mutual funds had unrealized losses, no credit issues have been identified that cause management to believe that declines in market value are other that temporary.

At December 31, 2005, seventeen mortgage-backed securities had aggregate depreciation of 2.45% from the Company’s amortized cost basis for 12 months or longer. The unrealized losses related principally to the decline in market interest rates. As the Company has the ability and intent to hold these mortgage-backed securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

At December 31, 2004, one debt security has aggregate depreciation of 1.73% from the Company’s amortized cost basis for 12 months or longer. The unrealized loss related principally to the decline in market interest rates. As the Company had the ability and intent to hold this debt security until maturity, or for the foreseeable future, no decline was deemed to be other than temporary.

At December 31, 2004, two mutual fund holdings had aggregate depreciation of 1.70% from the Company’s amortized cost basis for 12 months or longer. These unrealized losses related principally to changes in interest rates as the mutual fund holdings are debt securities. Although these mutual funds had unrealized losses, no credit issues were identified that caused management to believe that declines in market value were other than temporary.

At December 31, 2004, three mortgage-backed securities have aggregate depreciation of 1.17% from the Company’s amortized cost basis for 12 months or longer. The unrealized losses related principally to the decline in market interest rates. As the Company had the ability and intent to hold these mortgage-backed securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future, no declines were deemed to be other than temporary.

Deposits. Our primary source of funds are retail deposit accounts held primarily by individuals and businesses within our market area. We also actively solicit deposits from municipalities in our market area.

31

Municipal deposit accounts differ from business accounts in that we pay interest on those deposits and we pledge collateral (typically investment securities) with the New Jersey Department of Banking to secure the portion of the deposits that are not covered by federal deposit insurance.

Our deposit base is comprised of demand deposits, savings accounts and time deposits. Deposits increased $1.6 million, or 0.4%, in 2005. The increase in deposits consisted primarily of an increase in certificates of deposit and demand deposits offset by a decrease in savings accounts. The increase in certificates of deposit was a result of customers shifting deposits from lower rate savings accounts to higher rate certificates. The increase in demand deposits was the result of aggressive marketing.

We aggressively market checking and savings accounts, as these tend to provide longer-term customer relationships and a lower cost of funding compared to time deposits. Due to our marketing efforts and sales efforts, we have been able to attract core deposits of 68.7% of total deposits at December 31, 2005, compared to 72.2% in 2004.

The following table sets forth the balances of our deposit products at the dates indicated.

2005 vs. 2004. Net income increased $1.8 million in 2005 due primarily to the nonrecurring expense in 2004 associated with the pretax $2.0 million contribution ($1.3 million after tax) to the newly formed Ocean City Home Charitable Foundation (the “Foundation”). Net interest income increased 14.5% in 2005 to $15.3 million as a result of a higher volume and higher yield of interest-earning assets, partially offset by an increase in the cost of funds. Other income decreased 3.0% to $2.3 million due to lower service charges and fees. Other expenses decreased 6.2% to $12.2 million due to the $2.0 million contribution to the Foundation, as discussed above, and increases to salaries, benefits, occupancy and other professional services.

2004 vs. 2003. Net income decreased $1.4 million in 2004 due primarily to the nonrecurring expense associated with the pretax $2.0 million contribution ($1.3 million after tax) to the Foundation. Net interest income increased 6.6% in 2004 to $13.3 million as a result of a higher volume of interest-earning assets and a decrease in the cost of funds. Other income increased 12.4% to $2.4 million due to higher service charges. Other expenses increased 30.0% to $13.0 million due to the $2.0 million contribution to the Foundation and increases to salaries, benefits and occupancy.

Net Interest Income.

2005 vs. 2004. Net interest income increased $1.9 million, or 14.5%, to $15.3 million for 2005. The increase in net interest income for 2005 was primarily attributable to a higher yield and a higher volume of interest-earning assets, partially offset by an increase in the cost of funds.

Total interest and dividend income increased $3.6 million, or 15.6%, to $26.3 million for 2005, as growth in earning assets was enhanced by an increase in the yield on earning assets. Interest income on loans increased $3.6 million, or 20.3%, in 2005 as the average balance of the portfolio grew $57.4 million, or 18.2%, while the average yield increased 10 basis points to 5.67%. The increase in the average yield was the result of higher rate on new loans originated and an increase in rate in adjustable rate loans in the portfolio. Declining balances offset by a higher yield in the investment portfolio accounted for the modest decrease in interest income on investment securities in 2005. The average balance of the investment portfolio decreased $5.4 million, or 4.7%, in 2005, while the average yield increased 14 basis points to 4.25% as a result of higher short term market rates.

Total interest expense increased $1.6 million, or 17.2%, to $11.0 million for 2005 as deposit costs increased. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $10.0 million, or 2.7%, in 2005 due to growth in both checking accounts and certificates of deposit. The average interest rate paid on deposits increased 40 basis points as a result of the prevailing rising interest rate environment and the growth in certificates of deposit. During 2005, we experienced higher costs on demand deposits tied to rising rate treasury bills and a shift of deposits from lower-cost savings accounts to higher-cost certificates of deposit. Interest paid on borrowings slightly decreased in 2005 as a decline in the average balance was offset by a higher average cost.

2004 vs. 2003. Net interest income increased $823,000, or 6.6%, to $13.3 million for 2004. The increase in net interest income for 2004 was primarily attributable to a higher volume of interest-earning assets and a decrease in the cost of funds.

Total interest and dividend income increased $206,000, or 0.9%, to $22.7 million for 2004, as growth in earning assets more than offset a decline in yields. Interest income on loans increased $510,000, or 3.0%, in 2004 as the average balance of the portfolio grew $30.0 million, or 10.5%, while the average yield declined 41 basis points to 5.57%. The decrease in the average yield was the result of the low interest rate environment in 2004. New loans were originated at lower rates and many higher rate loans refinanced at lower rates. Declining yields and balances in the investment portfolio accounted for the decrease in interest income on investment securities in 2004. The average balance of the investment portfolio declined $6.3 million, or 5.2%, in 2004, while the average yield declined 17 basis points to 4.11% as a result of lower market rates and a shortening of maturities.

Total interest expense decreased $617,000, or 6.3%, to $9.4 million for 2004 as deposit costs declined. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $27.6 million, or 7.9%, in 2004 due to growth in both

35

checking and savings accounts. The average interest rate paid on deposits decreased 31 basis points as a result of the prevailing low interest rate environment and the growth in low yielding core deposits. During 2004, we emphasized low yielding transaction accounts as our customers preferred to invest in lower rate, shorter-term certificates of deposit. Interest paid on borrowings slightly declined in 2004 as a decline in the average balance offset a higher average cost.

Average Balances and Yields. The following table presents information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from average interest-earning assets, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting average yields and costs. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. For purposes of this table, average balances have been calculated using the average daily balances and nonaccrual loans are included in average balances only. Loan fees are included in interest income on loans and are insignificant. Interest income on loans and investment securities has not been calculated on a tax equivalent basis because the impact would be insignificant.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Provision for Loan Losses.

2005 vs. 2004. Provision for loan losses decreased $60,000 to $300,000 in 2005 as compared to $360,000 in 2004. A larger loan portfolio including increased commercial mortgage and business loans, which carry a higher risk of default, was offset by stable performing assets.

2004 vs. 2003. Provision for loan losses remained the same at $360,000 in 2004. A larger loan portfolio including increased commercial mortgage and business loans, which carry a higher risk of default, was offset by stable performing assets.

An analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses is presented under “Risk Management—Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Loan Losses.”

2005 vs. 2004. Service charges decreased $15,000 due to lower fees from deposit services. The decrease in other income was the result of reduced income on bank-owned life insurance and investment advisory commissions.

2004 vs. 2003. Service charges increased $268,000 due to higher fees from a new overdraft protection program. Net gain on sale of mortgage loans decreased by $118,000 due to no sale activity in 2004. The increase in other income was the result of increases in the surrender value of bank-owned life insurance.

(1) Computed as other expense divided by the sum of net interest income and other income excluding securities gains (losses).

2005 vs. 2004. Total other expenses decreased $800,000, or 6.2%, due primarily to the nonrecurring expense in 2004 associated with the $2.0 million contribution to the Foundation. Salaries and employee benefits increased due to normal salary increases and increased retirement plan expenses. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased due to new costs for network security systems and depreciation increases due to additions to office space and equipment. Other professional services increased as accounting and legal services increased due to additional compliance requirements associated with being a public company.

2004 vs. 2003. Total other expenses increased $3.0 million, or 30.0%, due primarily to the nonrecurring expense associated with the $2.0 million contribution to the Foundation. Salaries and employee benefits increased due to normal salary increases and increased retirement plan expenses. Occupancy and equipment increased due to new costs for network security systems and depreciation increases due to an addition to office space.

Income Taxes.

2005 vs. 2004. The effective tax rate for 2005 was 39.3% compared to 44.4% for 2004. This decrease in rate was primarily due to variations in state taxes related to the 2004 contribution to the Foundation.

2004 vs. 2003. The effective tax rate for 2004 was 44.4% compared to 36.4% for 2003. This increase in rate was primarily due to variations in state taxes related to the 2004 contribution to the Foundation.

Risk Management

Overview. Managing risk is an essential part of successfully managing a financial institution. Our most prominent risk exposures are credit risk, interest rate risk and market risk. Credit risk is the risk of not collecting the interest and/or the principal balance of a loan or investment when it is due. Interest rate risk is the potential reduction of interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. Market risk arises from fluctuations in interest rates that may result in changes in the values of financial instruments, such as available-for-sale securities that are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis. Other risks that we face are operational risks, liquidity risks and reputation risk. Operational risks include risks related to fraud, regulatory compliance, processing errors, technology and disaster recovery. Liquidity risk is the possible inability to fund obligations to depositors, lenders or borrowers. Reputation risk is the risk that negative publicity or press, whether true or not, could cause a decline in our customer base or revenue.

Credit Risk Management. Our strategy for credit risk management focuses on having well-defined credit policies and uniform underwriting criteria and providing prompt attention to potential problem loans. Our strategy also emphasizes the origination of one- to four-family mortgage loans, which typically have lower default rates than other types of loans and are secured by collateral that generally tends to appreciate in value.

When a borrower fails to make a required loan payment, we take a number of steps to have the borrower cure the delinquency and restore the loan to current status. We make initial contact with the borrower when the loan becomes 15 days past due. If payment is not then received by the 30^th day of delinquency, additional letters and phone calls generally are made. Generally, when the loan becomes 60 days past due, we send a letter notifying the borrower that we will commence foreclosure proceedings if the loan is not brought current within 30 days. Generally, when the loan becomes 90 days past due, we commence foreclosure proceedings against any real property that secures the loan or attempt to repossess any personal property that secures a consumer loan. If a foreclosure action is instituted and the loan is not brought current, paid in full, or refinanced before the foreclosure sale, the real property securing the loan generally is sold at foreclosure. We may consider loan workout arrangements with certain borrowers under certain circumstances.

Management informs the board of directors monthly of the amount of loans delinquent more than 30 days, all loans in foreclosure and all foreclosed and repossessed property that we own.

Analysis of Nonperforming and Classified Assets. We consider repossessed assets and loans that are 90 days or more past due to be nonperforming assets. When a loan becomes 90 days delinquent, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status at which time the accrual of interest ceases and the allowance for any uncollectible accrued interest is established and charged against operations. Typically, payments received on a nonaccrual loan are applied to the outstanding principal and interest as determined at the time of collection of the loan.

Real estate that we acquire as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until it is sold. When property is acquired it is recorded at the lower of its cost, which is the unpaid balance of the loan plus foreclosure costs, or fair market value at the date of foreclosure. Holding costs and declines in fair value after acquisition of the property result in charges against income.

Nonperforming assets totaled $98,000, or less than 0.02% of total assets, at December 31, 2005, which was an increase of $94,000 from December 31, 2004. Nonaccrual loans accounted for all nonperforming assets at December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2005, nonaccrual loans were comprised of $91,000 in mortgage loans and $7,000 in consumer loans.

Interest income that would have been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2005 had nonaccruing loans been current according to their original terms amounted to $2,300. No interest related to nonaccrual loans was included in interest income for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Federal regulations require us to review and classify our assets on a regular basis. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision has the authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, require them to be classified. There are three classifications for problem assets: substandard, doubtful and loss. “Substandard assets” must have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. “Doubtful assets” have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss. An asset classified as “loss” is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. The regulations also provide for a “special mention” category, described as assets which do not currently expose us to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving our close attention. When we classify an asset as substandard or doubtful we establish a specific allowance for loan losses. If we classify an asset as loss, we charge off an amount equal to 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss.

The following table shows the aggregate amounts of our classified assets at the dates indicated.

Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. We evaluate the need to establish allowances against losses on loans on a monthly basis. When additional allowances are necessary, a provision for loan losses is charged to earnings.

Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses consists of three key elements: (1) specific allowances for impaired or collateral-dependent loans; (2) a general valuation allowance on identified problem loans; and (3) a general valuation allowance on the remainder of the loan portfolio. Although we determine the amount of each element of the allowance separately, the entire allowance for loan losses is available for the entire portfolio.

Specific Allowance Required for Impaired or Collateral-Dependent Loans. We establish an allowance for impaired loans for the amounts by which the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) are lower than the carrying value of the loan. Under current accounting guidelines, a loan is defined as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. At December 31, 2005, no loans were considered impaired other than those collectively evaluated for impairment.

General Valuation Allowance on Identified Problem Loans. We also establish a general allowance for classified loans that do not have an individual allowance. We segregate these loans by loan category and assign allowance percentages to each category based on inherent losses associated with each type of lending and consideration that these loans, in the aggregate, represent an above-average credit risk and that more of these loans will prove to be uncollectible compared to loans in the general portfolio.

General Valuation Allowance on the Remainder of the Loan Portfolio. We establish another general allowance for loans that are not classified to recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, has not been allocated to particular problem assets. This general valuation allowance is determined by segregating the loans by loan category and assigning allowance percentages to each category. The allowance percentages have been derived using percentages commonly applied under the regulatory framework for Ocean City Home Bank and similarly sized institutions. The percentages are adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. These significant factors may include changes in lending policies and procedures, changes in existing general economic and business conditions affecting our primary lending areas, credit quality trends, collateral value, loan volumes and concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio, recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, duration of the current business cycle and bank regulatory examination results. The applied loss factors are reevaluated annually to ensure their relevance in the current economic environment.

41

The Office of Thrift Supervision, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews our allowance for loan losses. The Office of Thrift Supervision may require us to make additional provisions for loan losses based on judgments different from ours.

At December 31, 2005, our allowance for loan losses represented 0.42% of total gross loans. The allowance for loan losses increased from $1.5 million at December 31, 2004 to $1.8 million at December 31, 2005 due to the provision for loan losses of $300,000 offset by net charge-offs of $13,000. The provision for loan losses in 2005 reflected continued growth of the loan portfolio, particularly the increases in one- to four-family mortgage loans, commercial construction loans and commercial business loans. There was no change in the loss factors used to calculate the allowance from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2005, the specific allowance on impaired or collateral-dependent loans was $61,000. The general valuation allowance for identified problem loans was $424,000 and the general valuation allowance on the remainder of the loan portfolio was $1.3 million.

At December 31, 2004, our allowance for loan losses represented 0.43% of total gross loans. The allowance for loan losses increased from $1.1 million at December 31, 2003 to $1.5 million at December 31, 2004 due to the provision for loan losses of $360,000 offset by net charge-offs of $10,000. The provision for loan losses in 2004 reflected continued growth of the loan portfolio, particularly the increases in one- to four-family mortgage loans, commercial construction loans and commercial business loans. There was no change in the loss factors used to calculate the allowance from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2004, the specific allowance on impaired or collateral-dependent loans was $40,000. The general valuation allowance for identified problem loans was $336,000 and the general valuation allowance on the remainder of the loan portfolio was $1.1 million.

Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary and our results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations. Furthermore, while we believe we have established our allowance for loan losses in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing our loan portfolio, will not request us to increase our allowance for loan losses. In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or that increases will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed above. Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Analysis of Loan Loss Experience. The following table sets forth an analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated. Where specific loan loss allowances have been established, any difference between the loss allowance and the amount of loss realized has been charged or credited to current income.

Allowance to nonperforming loans		N/M			N/M			275.21	%		121.68	%		N/M
Allowance to total loans outstanding at the end of the period		0.42	%		0.43	%		0.37	%		0.29	%		0.22	%
Net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans outstanding during the period		N/M			N/M			0.01	%		0.01	%		0.02	%

N/M—not measurable as nonperforming loans and charge-offs are not material enough to allow for meaningful calculations.

In recent years, our net charge-offs have been low, with most charge-offs relating to consumer loans. The rising value of real estate in our market area has been the primary reason for the absence of charged-off real estate loans.

Interest Rate Risk Management. We manage the interest rate sensitivity of our interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets in an effort to minimize the adverse effects of changes in the interest rate environment. Deposit accounts typically react more quickly to changes in market interest rates than mortgage loans because of the shorter maturities of deposits. As a result, sharp increases in interest rates may adversely affect our earnings while decreases in interest rates may beneficially affect our earnings. To reduce the potential volatility of our earnings, we have sought to improve the match between asset and liability maturities and rates, while maintaining an acceptable interest rate spread. We have adopted an interest rate risk action plan pursuant to

43

which we manage our interest rate risk. Under this plan, we have: periodically sold fixed-rate mortgage loans; extended the maturities of our borrowings; increased commercial lending, which emphasizes the origination of shorter term, prime-based loans; emphasized the generation of core deposits, which provides a more stable, lower cost funding source; and structured our investment portfolio to include more liquid securities. We currently do not participate in hedging programs, interest rate swaps or other activities involving the use of derivative financial instruments.

We have an Asset/Liability Committee, which includes members of both the board of directors and management, to communicate, coordinate and control all aspects involving asset/liability management. The committee establishes and monitors the volume, maturities, pricing and mix of assets and funding sources with the objective of managing assets and funding sources to provide results that are consistent with liquidity, growth, risk limits and profitability goals.

Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis. We analyze our interest rate sensitivity position to manage the risk associated with interest rate movements through the use of interest income simulation. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest sensitive.” An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period.

Our goal is to manage asset and liability positions to moderate the effects of interest rate fluctuations on net interest income. Interest income simulations are completed quarterly and presented to the Asset/Liability Committee. The simulations provide an estimate of the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income under a range of assumptions. The numerous assumptions used in the simulation process are reviewed by the Asset/Liability Committee on a quarterly basis. Changes to these assumptions can significantly affect the results of the simulation. The simulation incorporates assumptions regarding the potential timing in the repricing of certain assets and liabilities when market rates change and the changes in spreads between different market rates. The simulation analysis incorporates management’s current assessment of the risk that pricing margins will change adversely over time due to competition or other factors.

Simulation analysis is only an estimate of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time. We continually review the potential effect changes in interest rates could have on the repayment of rate sensitive assets and funding requirements of rate sensitive liabilities.

The table below sets forth an approximation of our exposure as a percentage of estimated net interest income for the next 12- and 24-month periods using interest income simulation. The simulation uses projected repricing of assets and liabilities at December 31, 2005 on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated repayments and scheduled rate adjustments. Prepayment rates can have a significant impact on interest income simulation. Because of the large percentage of loans and mortgage-backed securities we hold, rising or falling interest rates have a significant impact on the prepayment speeds of our earning assets that in turn affect the rate sensitivity position. When interest rates rise, prepayments tend to slow. When interest rates fall, prepayments tend to rise. Our asset sensitivity would be reduced if prepayments slow and vice versa. While we believe such assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates will approximate actual future mortgage-backed security and loan repayment activity.

The following table reflects changes in estimated net interest income only for Ocean Shore Holding.

	At December 31, 2005 Percentage Change in Estimated Net Interest Income Over
	12 Months		24 Months
200 basis point increase in rates	(2.42	)%	(4.38	)%
100 basis point decrease in rates	2.00	%	1.77	%

44

Management believes that under the current rate environment, a change of interest rates downward of 200 basis points is a highly remote interest rate scenario. Therefore, management modified the limit and a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates was used. This limit will be re-evaluated periodically and may be modified as appropriate.

The 200 and 100 basis point change in rates in the above table is assumed to occur evenly over the following 12 months. Based on the scenario above, net interest income would be adversely affected (within our internal guidelines) in the 12-month and 24-month period if rates rose by 200 basis points. In addition, if rates declined by 100 basis points net interest income would be positively affected (within our internal guidelines) in both the 12- and 24-month periods.

Net Portfolio Value Analysis. In addition to a net interest income simulation analysis, we use an interest rate sensitivity analysis prepared by the Office of Thrift Supervision to review our level of interest rate risk. This analysis measures interest rate risk by computing changes in net portfolio value of our cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. Net portfolio value represents the market value of portfolio equity and is equal to the market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities, with adjustments made for off-balance sheet items. This analysis assesses the risk of loss in market risk sensitive instruments in the event of a sudden and sustained 100 to 300 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates with no effect given to any steps that we might take to counter the effect of that interest rate movement. We measure interest rate risk by modeling the changes in net portfolio value over a variety of interest rate scenarios. The following table, which is based on information that we provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, presents the change in our net portfolio value at December 31, 2005 that would occur in the event of an immediate change in interest rates based on Office of Thrift Supervision assumptions, with no effect given to any steps that we might take to counteract that change.

	Net Portfolio Value (Dollars in Thousands)					Net Portfolio Value as % of Portfolio Value of Assets
Basis Point (“bp”) Change in Rates	$ Amount	$ Change		% Change		NPV Ratio		Change

The Office of Thrift Supervision uses certain assumptions in assessing the interest rate risk of savings associations. These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and the market values of certain assets under differing interest rate scenarios, among others. As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgage loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table.

Liquidity Management. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of investment securities and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

45

We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At December 31, 2005, cash and cash equivalents totaled $13.4 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale whose market value exceeds our cost, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $21.9 million at December 31, 2005. In addition, at December 31, 2005, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $167.5 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, which included available overnight lines of credit of $101.8 million. On that date, we had no overnight advances outstanding.

At December 31, 2005, we had $51.6 million in commitments outstanding, which included $10.0 million in undisbursed construction loans, $23.5 million in unused home equity lines of credit and $4.9 million in commercial lines of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year of December 31, 2005 totaled $63.1 million, or 48.4% of certificates of deposit. The large percentage of certificates of deposit that mature within one year reflects customers’ hesitancy to invest their funds for long periods in the current low interest rate environment. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and lines of credit. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before December 31, 2006. We believe, however, based on past experience, that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

The following tables summarize our outstanding commitments to originate loans and to advance additional amounts pursuant to outstanding letters of credit, lines of credit and under our construction loans at December 31, 2005.

Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of securities. Our primary financing activities consist of activity in deposit accounts, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and reverse repurchase agreements. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive and to increase core deposit and commercial banking relationships. Occasionally, we offer promotional rates on certain deposit products to attract deposits.

The following table presents our primary investing and financing activities during the periods indicated.

Capital Management. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of Thrift Supervision, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At December 31, 2005, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements. We are considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

We also manage our capital for maximum stockholder benefit. The capital from our recently completed stock offering significantly increased our liquidity and capital resources. Over time, the initial level of liquidity will be reduced as net proceeds from the stock offering are used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of lending activities. We may use capital management tools such as cash dividends and common share repurchases.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit. For information about our loan commitments and unused lines of credit, see note 12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we engaged in no off-balance-sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On November 3, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) Nos. FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.” This FSP addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. This FSP also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. This FSP nullifies certain requirements of EITF Issue 03-1, “The Meaning of Other- Than-Temporary

47

Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” and supersedes EITF Topic No. D-44, “Recognition of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment upon the Planned Sale of a Security Whose Cost Exceeds Fair Value.” The guidance in this FSP amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) Statement No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” The FSP is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company has adopted this guidance.

In December 2004, the FASB revised SFAS No. 123, “Share-Based Payment,” to require the recognition of expenses related to share-based payment transactions, including employee stock option grants, based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006. Effective with the first quarter of 2006, the Company will recognize an expense over the required service period for any stock options granted, modified, cancelled or repurchased after that date and for the portion of pre- January 1, 2006 grants for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. The Company granted share-based payments on August 10, 2005 under the Equity Plan. When FAS 123(R) is adopted, the Company expects to recognize pre-tax compensation expense of approximately $272,000 in 2006 related to the options issued under the Equity Plan.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154—“Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”. SFAS No. 154, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20—Accounting Changes and FASB Statement No. 3—Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application for voluntary changes in accounting principles unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not expect SFAS No. 154 to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

On December 19, 2005, the FASB issued FSP 94-6-1, “Terms of Loan Products That May Give Rise to a Concentration of Credit Risk”. FSP 94-6-1 addresses whether, under existing guidance, non-traditional loan products represent a concentration of credit risk and what disclosures are required for entities that originate, hold, guarantee, service, or invest in loan products whose terms may give rise to a concentration of credit risk. Non-traditional loan products expose the originator, holder, investor, guarantor, or servicer to higher credit risk than traditional loan products. Typical features of non-traditional loan products may include high loan-to-value ratios and interest or principal repayments that are less than the repayments for fully amortizing loans of an equivalent term. FSP 94-6-1 was effective upon its issuance and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or disclosures.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”. This statement amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interest in Securitized Financial Assets. This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect that the guidance will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets”—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This statement addresses the recognition and measurement of separately recognized servicing rights. The statement clarifies when a servicing right should be separately recognized, requires servicing rights to be initially measured at fair value, and allows an entity to choose to subsequently measure its servicing rights at fair value. The Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is still continuing to evaluate the impact of this pronouncement and does not expect that the guidance will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and related financial data presented in this Form 10-K have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than do general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Ocean Shore Holding Co. and subsidiaries:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Ocean Shore Holding Co. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company 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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ocean Shore Holding Co. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND THE REORGANIZATION

Ocean Shore Holding Co. (“Company”) is the federally chartered holding company for Ocean City Home Bank (“Bank”), a federally charted savings bank. The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company and conducts its operations primarily through the Bank.

On December 21, 2004, the Company completed its initial public offering, issuing a total of 8,762,742 shares of the Company’s common stock, consisting of 4,761,000 shares or 54.3% of total shares to OC Financial MHC, the mutual holding company parent of the Company, 343,499 shares or 3.9% of total shares to the Bank’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan, 166,492 shares or 1.9% of total shares to the Ocean City Home Charitable Foundation, and 3,491,751 shares or 39.8% of total shares to eligible depositors. The Company received $36.8 million of net proceeds in the offering.

The Bank’s market area consists of Atlantic and Cape May counties, New Jersey. Through a seven-branch network, the Bank operates as a retail banking concern in the communities of Ocean City and Marmora within Cape May County, and Linwood, Absecon, Ventnor and Egg Harbor Township within Atlantic County. The Bank is engaged in the business of attracting time and demand deposits from the general public, small businesses and municipalities, and investing such deposits primarily in residential mortgage loans, consumer loans and small commercial loans.

The Bank is subject to extensive regulatory supervision and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”), its primary regulator, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) which insures its deposits. The Bank is a member of and owns capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank (the “FHLB”) of New York, which is one of the twelve regional banks that compose the FHLB System.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation—The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Bank and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, Seashore Financial LLC, and are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements—The preparation of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates and assumptions in the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate to the allowance for loan losses and deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities—The Company accounts for debt and equity securities as follows:

a. Held to Maturity—Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as held to maturity and are carried at their remaining unpaid principal balance, net of unamortized premiums or unaccreted discounts. Premiums are amortized and discounts are accreted using a method which produces results which approximate the interest method over the estimated remaining term of the underlying security.

56

OCEAN SHORE HOLDING CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003

b. Available for Sale—Debt and equity securities that will be held for indefinite periods of time, including securities that may be sold in response to changes in market interest or prepayment rates, needs for liquidity and changes in the availability of and the yield of alternative investments are classified as available for sale. These securities are carried at estimated fair value, which is based on market value. Market value is determined using published quotes as of the close of business. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are reported net of tax in other comprehensive income. Upon the sale of securities, any unamortized premium or unaccreted discount is considered in the determination of gain or loss from the sale. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are recognized utilizing the specific identification method. There were no sales of available for sale securities in 2005, 2004 or 2003.

For all securities that are in an unrealized loss position for an extended period of time and for all securities whose fair value is significantly below amortized cost, the Company performs an evaluation of the specific events attributable to the market decline of the security. The Company considers the length of time and extent to which the security’s market value has been below cost as well as the general market conditions, industry characteristics and the fundamental operating results of the issuer to determine if the decline is other than temporary. The Company also considers as part of the evaluation its intent and ability to hold the security until its market value has recovered to a level at least equal to the amortized cost. When the Company determines that a security’s unrealized loss is other than temporary, a realized loss is recognized in the period in which the decline in value is determined to be other than temporary. The write-downs are measured based on public market prices of the security at the time the Company determines the decline in value was other than temporary.

Deferred Loan Fees—The Bank defers all loan origination fees, net of certain direct loan origination costs. The balance is accreted into income as a yield adjustment over the life of the loan using the level-yield method.

Unearned Discounts and Premiums—Unearned discounts and premiums on loans, investments and mortgage-backed securities purchased are accreted and amortized, respectively, over the estimated life of the related asset. The Bank uses amortization methods which approximate the interest method.

Office Properties and Equipment—Net—Office properties and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the expected useful lives of the related assets as follows: buildings and improvements, ten to thirty nine years; furniture and equipment, three to seven years. The costs of maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, and renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Bank Owned Life Insurance—The Bank is the primary beneficiary of insurance policies on the lives of officers and employees of the Bank. The Bank has recognized any increase in cash surrender value of life insurance, net of insurance costs, in the consolidated statements of income. The cash surrender value of the insurance policies is recorded as an asset in the statements of financial condition.

Allowance for Loan Losses—An allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level to provide for losses and impairment based upon an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Management believes that, to the best of its knowledge, all known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio have been recorded. Management’s evaluation is based upon evaluation of the portfolio, past loss experience, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. Loan impairment is evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. Any reserves required based on this evaluation are included in the allowance for loan losses. While management uses the best information available to make such evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations.

The allowance for loan losses consists of three elements: (1) specific allowances for impaired or collateral dependant loans; (2) a general valuation allowance on certain identified problem loans; and (3) a general

57

OCEAN SHORE HOLDING CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003

valuation allowance on the remainder of the loan portfolio. This is consistent with the regulatory method of classifying reserves. Although the amount of each element of the allowance is determined separately, the entire allowance for loan losses is available for the entire portfolio. An allowance for impaired loans is established in the amounts by which the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) are lower than the carrying value of the loan. A general allowance is established for classified loans that do not have an individual allowance. These loans are segregated by loan category and allowance percentages are assigned to each category based on inherent losses associated with each type of lending and consideration that these loans, in the aggregate, represent an above-average credit risk and that more of these loans will prove to be uncollectible compared to loans in the general portfolio. Another general allowance for loans that are not classified is established to recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, has not been allocated to particular problem assets. This general valuation allowance is determined by segregating the loans by loan category and assigning allowance percentages to each category. The allowance percentages have been derived using percentages commonly applied under the regulatory framework for the Company and similarly sized institutions. The percentages are adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, could affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. These significant factors may include changes in lending policies and procedures, changes in existing general economic and business conditions affecting our primary lending areas, credit quality trends, collateral value, loan volumes and concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio, recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, duration of the current business cycle and bank regulatory examination results. The applied loss factors are reevaluated annually to ensure their relevance in the current economic environment.

Loans are considered past due 16 days or more past the due date. Loans are considered delinquent if 30 days or more past due. Loans over 90 days past due are placed on non-accrual status. Payments received on non-accrual loans are applied to principal, interest and escrow on mortgage loans and to accrued interest followed by principal on all other loans. Loans are returned to accrual status when no payment is over 90 days past due. Unsecured loans are charged off when becoming more than 90 days past due. Secured loans are charged off to the extent the loan amount exceeds the appraised value of the collateral when over 90 days past due and management believes the uncollectibility of the loan balance is confirmed.

Interest income on impaired loans other than nonaccrual loans is recognized on an accrual basis. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only as collected.

Loans Held for Sale and Loans Sold—The Bank originates mortgage loans held for investment and for sale. At origination, the mortgage loan is identified as either held for sale or for investment. Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or forward committed contracts (which approximates market), determined on a net aggregate basis. The Bank had no loans classified as held for sale at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Income Taxes—Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of “temporary differences” by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Interest Rate Risk—The Bank is engaged principally in providing first mortgage loans to borrowers. At December 31, 2005, approximately two-thirds of the Bank’s assets consisted of assets that earned interest at fixed interest rates. Those assets were funded with long-term fixed rate liabilities and with short-term liabilities that have interest rates that vary with market rates over time. The shorter duration of the interest-sensitive liabilities indicates that the Bank is exposed to interest rate risk because, in a rising rate environment, liabilities will be repricing faster at higher interest rates, thereby reducing the market value of long-term assets and net interest income.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003

Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities—The Bank recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. Servicing assets are measured by allocating the previous carrying amount between the assets sold, if any, based on their relative fair values at the date of the transfer.

The Company assesses the retained interest in the servicing asset or liability associated with the sold loans based on the relative fair values. The servicing asset or liability is amortized in proportion to and over the period during which estimated net servicing income or net servicing loss, as appropriate, will be received. Assessment of the fair value of the retained interest is performed on a continual basis.

Stock Based Compensation—In August 2005, the shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the 2005 Equity Based Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”). The Equity Plan provides for the grant of shares of common stock of the Company to certain officers, directors and employees of the Company. In order to fund the grant of shares under the Equity Plan, the Company established the Equity Plan Trust (the “Trust”) which purchased 171,300 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market for approximately $2.0 million, an average price of $11.70 per share. The Company made sufficient contributions to the Trust to fund these purchases. No additional purchases are expected to be made by the Trust under this plan. Pursuant to the terms of the plan, all 171,300 shares acquired by the Trust were granted to certain officers and directors of the Company in August 2005. The Equity Plan shares will generally vest at the rate of 20% per year over five years. As of December 31, 2005, no shares have been fully vested, exercised or forfeited.

Compensation expense related to the shares granted is recognized ratably over the five year vesting period in an amount which totals the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. During the year ended December 31, 2005, approximately 14,275 shares were earned by participants of the Equity Plan, based on the proportional vesting of the awarded shares. During the year ended December 31, 2005, approximately $166,000 was recognized as compensation expense of the Equity Plan.

The Equity Plan also authorizes the grant of stock options to officers, employees and directors of the Company to acquire shares of common stock with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. Options will generally become vested and exercisable at the rate of 20% per year over five years. A total of 429,374 shares of common stock have been approved for future issuance pursuant to the Equity Plan of which 396,000 were awarded on August 10, 2005.

Concurrent with the issuance of such options under the Equity Plan, the Company adopted Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations in accounting for stock options and, accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized in the financial statements related to the grant of such options. Had the Company determined compensation expense based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options in accordance with the fair value method in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” the Company’s net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Employee Stock Ownership Plan—The Company accounts for its Employee Stock Ownership Plan in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 93-6, “Employer’s Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans,” issued by the Accounting Standards Division of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”).

New Accounting Pronouncements—On November 3, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) Nos. FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”. This FSP addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. This FSP also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. This FSP nullifies certain requirements of EITF Issue 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”, and supersedes EITF Topic No. D-44, “Recognition of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment upon the Planned Sale of a Security Whose Cost Exceeds Fair Value.” The guidance in this FSP amends SFAS Statement No. 115,” Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” The FSP is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company has adopted this guidance.

In December 2004, the FASB revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Share-Based Payment,” to require the recognition of expenses related to share-based payment transactions, including employee stock option grants, based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006. Effective with the first quarter of 2006, the

Company will recognize an expense over the required service period for any stock options granted, modified, cancelled or repurchased after that date and for the portion of grants for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. The Company granted share-based payments on August 10, 2005 under the Equity Plan. When FAS 123(R) is adopted, the Company expects pre-tax compensation expense of approximately $272,000 in 2006 related to the options issued under the Equity Plan.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154—“Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”. SFAS No. 154, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20—Accounting Changes and FASB Statement No. 3—Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application for voluntary changes in accounting principles unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early application is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors during fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. We are currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 154 and do not expect it to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

On December 19, 2005, the FASB issued FSP 94-6-1, “Terms of Loan Products That May Give Rise to a Concentration of Credit Risk”. FSP 94-6-1 addresses whether, under existing guidance, non-traditional loan products represent a concentration of credit risk and what disclosures are required for entities that originate, hold, guarantee, service, or invest in loan products whose terms may give rise to a concentration of credit risk. Non-traditional loan products expose the originator, holder, investor, guarantor, or servicer to higher credit risk than traditional loan products. Typical features of non-traditional loan products may include high loan-to-value ratios and interest or principal repayments that are less than the repayments for fully amortizing loans of an equivalent term. FSP 94-6-1 was effective upon its issuance and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or disclosures.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”. This statement amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interest in Securitized Financial Assets. This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect that the guidance will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets”—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This statement addresses the recognition and measurement of separately recognized servicing rights. The statement clarifies when a servicing right should be separately recognized, requires servicing rights to be initially measured at fair value, and allows an entity to choose to subsequently measure its servicing rights at fair value. The Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is still continuing to evaluate the impact of this pronouncement and does not expect that the guidance will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Statement of Cash Flows—For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.

Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information—SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of An Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for the way business enterprises

report information about operating segments and establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The statement requires that a business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has one operating segment, “Community Banking.”

Reclassifications—Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 and 2004 financial statements to conform to the 2005 consolidated presentation.

Management believes that the estimated fair value of the securities is dependent upon the movement in market interest rate and that the unrealized losses are temporary. The determination of whether a decline in market value is other than temporary is necessarily a matter of subjective judgment. The timing and amount of any realized losses reported in the Company’s financial statements could vary if conclusions other than those made by management were to determine whether an other than temporary impairment exists.

At December 31, 2005, twelve debt securities had aggregate depreciation of 1.68% from the Company’s amortized cost basis for 12 months or longer. The unrealized loss relates principally to the decline in market interest rates. As the Company has the ability and intent to hold these debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future, no decline is deemed to be other than temporary.

At December 31, 2005, two mutual fund holdings had aggregate depreciation of 2.90% from the Company’s amortized cost basis for 12 months or longer. These unrealized losses relate principally to changes in interest rates as the mutual fund holdings are debt securities. Although these mutual funds had unrealized losses, no credit issues have been identified that cause management to believe that declines in market value are other that temporary.

At December 31, 2004, one debt security has aggregate depreciation of 1.73% from the Company’s amortized cost basis for 12 months or longer. The unrealized loss related principally to the decline in market

At December 31, 2004, two mutual fund holdings had aggregate depreciation of 1.70% from the Company’s amortized cost basis for 12 months or longer. These unrealized losses related principally to changes in interest rates as the mutual fund holdings are debt securities. Although these mutual funds had unrealized losses, no credit issues were identified that caused management to believe that declines in market value were other than temporary.

The Bank grants loans to customers primarily in its local market area. The ultimate repayment of these loans is dependent to a certain degree on the local economy and real estate market. The intent of management is to hold loans originated and purchased to maturity.

The Bank is servicing loans for the benefit of others totaling approximately $8,800,000 and $12,259,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Servicing loans for others generally consists of collecting mortgage payments, disbursing payments to investors and occasionally processing foreclosures. Loan servicing income is recorded upon receipt and includes servicing fees from investors and certain charges collected from borrowers, such as late payment fees.

The Bank originates and purchases both fixed and adjustable interest rate loans. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the composition of these loans, net, was approximately $292,700,000 and $236,647,000, respectively, of fixed rate loans and $119,305,000 and $103,938,000, respectively, of adjustable rate loans.

Changes in the allowance for loan losses are as follows:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2005			2004			2003
Balance, beginning of year	$	1,466,295		$	1,116,156		$	774,716

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003

The provision for loan losses charged to expense is based upon past loan loss experiences and an evaluation of losses in the current loan portfolio, including the evaluation of impaired loans. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. An insignificant delay or insignificant shortfall in amount of payments does not necessarily result in the loan being identified as impaired. For this purpose, delays less than 90 days are considered to be insignificant. As of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the impaired loan balance was measured for impairment based on the fair value of the loans’ collateral. Loans collectively evaluated for impairment include residential real estate loans, consumer loans, and smaller balance commercial and commercial real estate loans. During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Bank had no loans considered to be impaired other than those collectively evaluated for impairment.

Nonperforming loans at December 31, 2005 and 2004, consisted of nonaccrual loans that amounted to approximately $98,000 and $4,456 respectively. The reserve for delinquent interest on loans totaled $2,266 and $232 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Certain directors and officers of the Company have loans with the Bank. Repayments and other includes loans for which there was a change in employee status which resulted in a change in loan classification. Total loan activity for directors and officers was as follows:

The Company’s provision for income taxes differs from the amounts determined by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before income before taxes as follows:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2005					2004					2003
	Amount			Percent		Amount			Percent		Amount			Percent
Tax at federal rate	$	1,724,024		34.0	%	$	799,578		34.0	%	$	1,449,968		34.0	%

Total	$	1,994,685		39.3	%	$	1,045,223		44.4	%	$	1,550,885		36.4	%

The effective tax rate for 2005 was 39.3% compared to 44.4% for 2004. The increase in rate in 2004 was primarily due to variations in state taxes related to the contribution to the Ocean City Home Charitable Foundation.

Items that gave rise to significant portions of the deferred tax accounts are as follows:

The Bank uses the specific charge-off method for computing reserves for bad debts. The bad debt deduction allowable under this method is available to large banks with assets over $500 million. Generally, this method allows the Bank to deduct an annual addition to the reserve for bad debts equal to its net charge-offs. Retained earnings at December 31, 2005 and 2004 include approximately $2,400,000 representing bad debt deductions for

which no deferred income tax has been provided. This amount represents the Bank’s bad debt reserve as of the base year and is not subject to recapture as long as the Bank continues to carry on the business of banking.

11. JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

In 1998, Ocean Shore Capital Trust I (the “Trust”), a trust created under Delaware law that is wholly owned by the Company, issued $15 million, 8.67% Capital Securities (the “Capital Securities”) with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per Capital Security unit and a scheduled maturity of July 15, 2028. The proceeds from the sale of the Capital Securities were utilized by the Trust to invest in $15.5 million of 8.67% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (the “Debentures”) of the Company. The Debentures are unsecured and rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Company. The Debentures represent the sole assets of the Trust. Interest on the Capital Securities is cumulative and payable semi-annually in arrears. The Company has the option, subject to required regulatory approval, to prepay the Debentures in whole or in part, at various prepayment prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of the prepayment.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Loan Commitments—As of December 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $22,924,000 in outstanding commitments to originate fixed and variable rate loans with market interest rates ranging from 5.00% to 10.25%, and approximately $28,406,000 in unused lines of credit with interest rates ranging from 6.75% to 16.00% on funds disbursed. Commitments are issued in accordance with the same policies and underwriting procedures as settled loans.

Lease Commitment—The Company leases certain property and equipment under noncancellable operating leases. Scheduled minimum lease payments are as follows:

Year Ending December 31
2006	$	134,110
2007		130,007
2008		135,153
2009		140,515
2010		114,841
Thereafter		43,437
Total	$	698,063

Rent expense for all operating leases was approximately $101,225, $60,742 and $60,742 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Cash Reserve Requirement—The Bank is required to maintain average reserve balances under the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation D issued thereunder. Such reserves totaled approximately $7,484,000 at December 31, 2005 and $7,966,000 at December 31, 2004.

Restrictions on Funds Transferred—There are various restrictions which limit the ability of a bank subsidiary to transfer funds in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances to the parent company. Under federal law, the approval of the primary regulator is required if dividends declared by the Bank in any year exceed the net profits of that year, as defined, combined with the retained profits for the two preceding years.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003

Employment Contracts—The Bank has entered into employment contracts with several officers of the Bank whereby such officers would be entitled to a cash payment equal to 2 or 3 years annual compensation, depending on the officer, in the event of a change of control or other specified reasons.

13. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, while diluted net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of dilutive securities.

The difference between the common shares issued and the common shares outstanding, for the purposes of calculating basic earnings per share, is a result of the unallocated ESOP and restricted stock shares.

The calculated basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are as follows:

	Year Ended December 31, 2005
Numerator—Net Income	$	3,075,975
Denominators:
Basic shares outstanding		8,405,677
Increase in shares due to restricted options		47,916
Diluted shares outstanding		8,453,593
Earnings per share:
Basic	$	0.37
Diluted	$	0.36

At December 31, 2005 there were 388,500 outstanding options that were anti-dilutive.

14. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory—and possibly additional discretionary—actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of tangible and core capital (as defined in the regulations) to total adjusted assets (as defined), and of risk-based capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined). Management believes that, as of December 31, 2005, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 2005, the most recent notification from the OTS categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum tangible, core and risk-based ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

Total risk-based capital		55,709,895	20.40			21,845,360	8.00			27,306,700	10.00

Capital at December 31, 2005 and 2004 for the Bank represents only the capital maintained at the Bank level, which is less than the capital of the Company.

Federal banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid by the Bank to the Company. The total dividends that may be paid at any date is generally limited to the earnings of the Bank for the year to date plus retained earnings for the prior two years, net of any prior capital distributions. In addition, dividends paid by the Bank to the Company would be prohibited if the distribution would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below the applicable minimum capital requirements. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Bank paid $800,000 each year in dividends to the Company.

15. BENEFIT PLANS

401(k) Plan

The Company maintains an approved 401(k) Plan. All employees age 18 and over are eligible to participate in the plan at the beginning of the quarter after hire date. The employees may contribute up to 100% of their compensation to the plan with the Company matching one-half of the first eight percent contributed. Full vesting in the plan is prorated equally over a five-year period from the date of employment. The contributions to the 401(k) Plan for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $143,132, $134,186 and $127,462, respectively and were included in salaries and benefits expense.

Deferred Compensation Plans

The Bank maintains a deferred compensation plan whereby certain officers will be provided supplemental retirement benefits for a period of fifteen years following normal retirement. The benefits under the plan are fully vested for all officers. The Company makes annual contributions, based upon an accrued liability schedule, to a trust for each respective officer organized by the Company to administer the plan so that the amounts required will be provided at the normal retirement dates and thereafter. Assuming normal retirement, the benefits under the plan will be paid in varying amounts between 2013 and 2031. The agreements also provide for payment of benefits in the event of disability, early retirement, termination of employment, or death. The contributions to the plan for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $260,329, $206,095 and $185,000, respectively and were included in salaries and benefits expense.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003

The Bank maintains a directors’ deferred compensation plan whereby directors may defer into a retirement account a portion of their monthly director fees for a specified period to provide a specified amount of income for a period of five to ten years following normal retirement. The Company also accrues the interest cost on the deferred fee obligation so that the amounts required will be provided at the normal retirement dates and thereafter. Assuming normal retirement, the benefits under the plan will be paid in varying amounts between 2006 and 2029. Payments of $26,516 were made from the plan in 2005. The agreements also provide for payment of benefits in the event of disability, early retirement, termination of service, or death. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the accrued deferred compensation liability amounted to approximately $355,536 and $273,129, respectively, and is included as a component of “Other Liabilities” in the statement of financial condition. The contributions to the plan for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $135,250, $86,800 and $63,000, respectively, and were included in salaries and benefits expense.

In 2002, the Bank established an Executive Incentive Retirement Plan whereby certain officers defer a portion of their annual incentive pay into a retirement account. Salary Continuation Agreements have been entered into for this plan to allow for payments to be made upon retirement of the officers. This plan was terminated in 2005. The contributions to the plan for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $0, $73,850 and $64,480, respectively. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the accrued liability relating to this plan amounted to $0 and $56,516, respectively.

The Bank is the owner and primary beneficiary of insurance policies on the lives of participating officers and directors. Such policies were purchased to informally fund the benefit obligations and to allow the Company to honor its contractual obligations in the event of pre-retirement death of a covered officer or director. Certain of the insurance policies owned by the Bank are policies under which the employee’s designated beneficiary is entitled to part of the policy benefits upon the death of the employee. The aggregate cash surrender value of all policies owned by the Company amounted to approximately $7,339,000 and $6,992,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

During 2004, a Deferred Compensation Stock Plan was established creating a rabbi trust to fund benefit plans for certain officers and directors to acquire shares through deferred compensation plans. During 2005, approximately 4,741 shares were purchased for $52,000, at various market prices. In the Company’s initial public offering, approximately 30,900 shares of the Company’s common stock was purchased for approximately $321,000 by this trust.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

In December 2004, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) covering all eligible employees as defined by the ESOP. The ESOP is a tax-qualified plan designed to invest primarily in the Company’s common stock that provides employees with the opportunity to receive a funded retirement benefit based primarily on the value of the Company’s common stock.

To purchase the Company’s common stock, the ESOP borrowed $3.4 million from the Company to purchase 343,499 shares of the Company’s common stock in the initial public offering. The ESOP loan is being repaid principally from the Bank’s contributions to the ESOP over a period of up to 15 years. Dividends declared on common stock held by the ESOP and not allocated to the account of a participant can be used to repay the loan. Compensation expense is recognized in accordance with SOP 93-6. The number of shares released annually is based upon the ratio that the current principal and interest payment bears to the current and all remaining scheduled future principal and interest payments.

All shares that have not been released for allocation to participants are held in a suspense account by the ESOP for future allocation as the loan is repaid. Unallocated common stock purchased by the ESOP is recorded as a reduction of stockholders’ equity at cost. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded an expense related to this plan of approximately $251,000 and $277,000, respectively.

Stock Option Plan

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock options under the Equity Plan as of December 31, 2005 and changes during the year ended December 31, 2005 are presented below:

	Year Ended December 31, 2005
	Number of shares		Weighted average exercise price
Outstanding at the beginning of the year	—			—
Granted	396,000		$	11.60
Exercised	—			—
Forfeited	(7,500	)		11.60
Outstanding at the end of the year	388,500			11.60
Exercisable at the end of the year	—		$	—

The following table summarizes all stock options outstanding under the Equity Plan as of December 31, 2005:

	Options Outstanding
Exercise Price	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life
				(in years)
$ 11.60	388,500	$	11.60	9.6
Total	388,500	$	11.60	9.6

The estimated fair value of options granted during 2005 was $2.31 per share. The fair value was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Single Option Pricing Model with the following weighted average assumptions used:

	Year Ended December 31, 2005
Dividend yield	0.00	%
Expected volatility	21.54	%
Risk-free interest rate	4.07	%
Expected life of options	5.0

The Company has not declared any dividends therefore the yield is zero. The risk-free interest rate used was based on the rates of treasury securities with maturities equal to the expected lives of the options.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities—Fair values for investment and mortgage-backed securities are based on published market quotes.

Loans Receivable—Net—The fair value of loans receivable is estimated based on the present value using current-entry interest rates applicable to each category of such financial instrument.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock—Although FHLB stock is an equity interest in an FHLB, it is carried at cost because it does not have a readily determinable fair value as its ownership is restricted and it lacks a market. The estimated fair value approximates the carrying amount.

NOW and Other Demand Deposit, Passbook Savings and Club, and Certificates Accounts—The fair value of NOW and other demand deposit accounts and passbook savings and club accounts is the amount payable on

demand at the reporting date. The fair value of certificates is estimated by discounting future cash flows using interest rates currently offered on certificates with similar remaining maturities.

Advances from FHLB—The fair value is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase—The fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates on agreements with similar remaining maturities.

Junior Subordinated Debenture—The fair value is estimated based on quoted market values for similar borrowing arrangements.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Letters of Credit—The majority of the Bank’s commitments to extend credit and letters of credit carry current market interest rates if converted to loans. Because commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are generally unassignable by either the Bank or the borrower, they only have value to the Bank and the borrower. The estimated fair value approximates the recorded deferred fee amounts, which are not significant.

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2005 and 2004. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial statements since December 31, 2005 and 2004, and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

Ocean City Home Charitable Foundation was established as part of the plan of stock issuance. In December of 2004, the Company donated $2.0 million in cash and stock to Ocean City Home Charitable Foundation as part of the initial public offering.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

The following disclosure would otherwise have been furnished on Form 8-K under the heading “Item 1.01—Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement:”

On March 29, 2006, the Bank amended its Change-In-Control Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with Kim Davidson, the Executive Vice President and Corporate Secretary of the Bank. The Amended Agreement provides for a three-year term, subject to annual renewal by the Board of Directors.

Pursuant to the Amended Agreement, Ms. Davidson will be entitled to receive severance benefits if, following a change in control of the Bank or the Company, she is terminated without cause or voluntarily resigns upon the occurrence of circumstances specified in the Amended Agreement. If Ms. Davidson becomes entitled to receive severance benefits under the Amended Agreement, the Bank would pay her a sum equal to three times the average annual compensation paid to her for the five most recent taxable years ending before the change in control, subject to such reduction as may be required to prevent the payment from being deemed an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

OCEAN CITY HOME BANK

CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

This AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is hereby entered into as of December 21, 2004, by and between Ocean City Home Bank (the “Bank”), a federally-chartered savings bank with its principal offices at 1001 Asbury Avenue, Ocean City, New Jersey 08226-3392 and Kim Davidson (“Executive”) and Ocean Shore Holding Co. (the “Company”), a federally-chartered corporation and the holding company of the Bank, as guarantor.

WHEREAS, the Bank recognizes the importance of Executive to the Bank’s operations and wishes to protect his position with the Bank in the event of a change in control of the Bank or the Company for the period provided for in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Executive and the Board of Directors of the Bank desire to enter into an agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of payments due to Executive in the event of a change in control and the related rights and obligations of each of the parties.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein contained, it is hereby agreed as follows:

1. Term of Agreement.

(a) The term of this Agreement shall be (i) the initial term, consisting of the period commencing on the date of this Agreement (the “Effective Date”) and ending on the second anniversary of the Effective Date, plus (ii) any and all extensions of the initial term made pursuant to this Section 1.

(b) Commencing on the first anniversary of the Effective Date and continuing each anniversary date thereafter, the Board of Directors of the Bank (the “Board of Directors”) may extend the term of this Agreement for an additional one (1) year period beyond the then effective expiration date, provided that Executive shall not have given at least sixty (60) days’ written notice of his desire that the term not be extended.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, this Agreement shall terminate if Executive or the Bank terminates Executive’s employment prior to a Change in Control.

2. Change in Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Bank or the Company followed at any time during the term of this Agreement by the termination of Executive’s employment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, other than for Just Cause, as defined in Section 2(c) of this Agreement, the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement shall apply. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, Executive shall have the right to elect to voluntarily terminate his employment at any time during the term of this Agreement following an event constituting “Good Reason.”

“Good Reason” means, unless Executive has consented in writing thereto, the occurrence following a Change in Control, of any of the following:

(i) the assignment to Executive of any duties materially inconsistent with Executive’s position, including any material change in status, title, authority,

duties or responsibilities or any other action that results in a material diminution in such status, title, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and that is remedied by the Bank or Executive’s employer reasonably promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;

(ii) a reduction by the Bank or Executive’s employer of the Executive’s base salary in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control;

(iii) the relocation of the Executive’s office to a location more than 35 miles from its location as of the date of this Agreement;

(iv) the taking of any action by the Bank or any of its affiliates or successors that would materially adversely affect the Executive’s overall compensation and benefits package, unless such changes to the compensation and benefits package are made on a non-discriminatory basis to all employees; or

(v) the failure of the Bank or the affiliate of the Bank by which Executive is employed, or any affiliate that directly or indirectly owns or controls any affiliate by which Executive is employed, to obtain the assumption in writing of the Bank’s obligation to perform this Agreement by any successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Bank or such affiliate within thirty (30) days after a reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of assets of the Bank or such affiliate.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to occur on the earliest of any of the following events:

(i) Merger: The Company merges into or consolidates with another corporation, or merges another corporation into the Company, and as a result less than a majority of the combined voting power of the resulting corporation immediately after the merger or consolidation is held by persons who were stockholders of the Company immediately before the merger or consolidation.

(ii) Acquisition of Significant Share Ownership: The Company files, or is required to file, a report on Schedule 13D or another form or schedule (other than Schedule 13G) required under Sections 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, if the schedule discloses that the filing person or persons acting in concert has or have become the beneficial owner of 25% or more of a class of the Company’s voting securities, but this clause (b) shall not apply to beneficial ownership of Company voting shares held in a fiduciary capacity by an entity of which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns 50% or more of its outstanding voting securities.

(iii) Change in Board Composition: During any period of two consecutive years, individuals who constitute the Company’s Board of Directors at the beginning of the two-year period cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors; provided, however, that for purposes of this clause (iii), each director who is first elected by the board (or first nominated by the board for election by the stockholders) by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors who were directors at the beginning of the two-year period shall be deemed to have also been a director at the beginning of such period; or

2

(iv) Sale of Assets: The Company sells to a third party all or substantially all of its assets.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the conversion of OC Financial MHC, the Bank and the Company from mutual holding company form to stock holding company form (including without limitation, through the formation of a stock holding company) constitute a “Change in Control” for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Executive shall not have the right to receive termination benefits pursuant to Section 3 hereof upon termination for Just Cause. The term “Just Cause” shall mean termination because of Executive’s personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, any breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule, regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses), final cease and desist order, or any material breach of any provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Just Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to him a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire membership of the Board of Directors at a meeting of the Board of Directors called and held for that purpose (after reasonable notice to Executive and an opportunity for him, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board of Directors), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors, Executive was guilty of conduct justifying termination for Just Cause and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after termination for Just Cause. During the period beginning on the date of the Notice of Termination for Just Cause pursuant to Section 4 hereof through the Date of Termination, stock options granted to Executive under any stock option plan shall not be exercisable nor shall any unvested stock awards granted to Executive under any stock benefit plan of the Bank, the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, vest. At the Date of Termination, such stock options and any such unvested stock awards shall become null and void and shall not be exercisable by or delivered to Executive at any time subsequent to such termination for Just Cause.

3. Termination Benefits.

(a) If Executive’s employment is voluntarily (in accordance with Section 2(a) of this Agreement) or involuntarily terminated within one (1) year of a Change in Control, Executive shall receive:

(i) a lump sum cash payment equal to two (2) times the Executive’s “base amount,” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Such payment shall be made not later than five (5) days following Executive’s termination of employment under this Section 3.

(ii) Continued benefit coverage under all Bank health and welfare plans which Executive participated in as of the date of the Change in Control (collectively, the “Employee Benefit Plans”) for a period of twenty-four (24) months following Executive’s termination of employment. Said coverage shall be provided under the same terms and conditions in effect on the date of Executive’s termination of employment. Solely for purposes of benefits continuation under the Employee Benefit Plans, Executive shall be deemed to be an active employee. To the extent that benefits required under this Section 3(a) cannot be provided under the terms of any Employee Benefit Plan, the Bank shall enter into alternative arrangements that will provide Executive with comparable benefits.

3

(b) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 3, in no event shall the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to Executive under said paragraphs (the “Termination Benefits”) constitute an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code or any successor thereto, and to avoid such a result, Termination Benefits will be reduced, if necessary, to an amount (the “Non-Triggering Amount”), the value of which is one dollar ($1.00) less than an amount equal to three (3) times Executive’s “base amount,” as determined in accordance with said Section 280G. The allocation of the reduction required hereby among the Termination Benefits provided by this Section 3 shall be determined by Executive.

4. Notice of Termination.

(a) Any purported termination by the Bank or by Executive shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.

(b) “Date of Termination” shall mean the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which, in the case of a termination for Just Cause, shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date such Notice of Termination is given).

5. Source of Payments.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, all payments and benefits provided in this Agreement shall be paid or provided solely by the Bank. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed so as to result in the duplication of any payment or benefit. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company’s sole obligation under this Agreement shall be to unconditionally guarantee the payment and provision of all amounts and benefits due hereunder to Executive and, if such amounts and benefits due from the Bank are not timely paid or provided by the Bank, such amounts and benefits shall be paid or provided by the Company.

6. Effect on Prior Agreements and Existing Benefit Plans.

This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes any prior agreement between the Bank and Executive, except that this Agreement shall not affect or operate to reduce any benefit or compensation inuring to Executive of a kind elsewhere provided. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that Executive is subject to receiving fewer benefits than those available to him without reference to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon Executive the right to continue in the employ of the Bank or shall impose on the Bank any obligation to employ or retain Executive in its employ for any period.

7. No Attachment.

(a) Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation or to execution, attachment, levy or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to affect any such action shall be null, void and of no effect.

4

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, Executive, the Bank and their respective successors and assigns.

8. Modification and Waiver.

(a) This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.

(b) No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that specifically waived.

9. Severability.

If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement, or any part of any provision, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any part of such provision not held so invalid, and each such other provision and part thereof shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect.

10. Headings for Reference Only.

The headings of sections and paragraphs herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, references herein to the masculine shall apply to both the masculine and the feminine.

11. Governing Law.

Except to the extent preempted by federal law, the validity, interpretation, performance, and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to principles of conflicts of law of that State.

12. Arbitration.

Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a panel of three arbitrators sitting in a location selected by Executive within fifty (50) miles from the location of the Bank, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of his right to be paid until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement.

13. Payment of Legal Fees.

All reasonable legal fees paid or incurred by Executive pursuant to any dispute or question of interpretation relating to this Agreement shall be paid or reimbursed by the Bank, only if Executive is successful pursuant to a legal judgment, arbitration or settlement.

5

14. Indemnification.

The Company or the Bank shall provide Executive (including his heirs, executors and administrators) with coverage under a standard directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy at its expense and shall indemnify Executive (and his heirs, executors and administrators) to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred by him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding in which he may be involved by reason of his having been a director or officer of the Company or the Bank (whether or not he continues to be a director or officer at the time of incurring such expenses or liabilities), such expenses and liabilities to include, but not be limited to, judgments, court costs, attorneys’ fees and the cost of reasonable settlements.

15. Successors to the Bank and the Company.

The Bank and the Company shall require any successor or assignee, whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Bank or the Company, expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Bank’s and the Company’s obligations under this Agreement, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank and the Company would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place.

16. Required Provisions.

In the event any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 16 are in conflict with the terms of this Agreement, this Section 16 shall prevail.

a. The Bank’s board of directors may terminate Executive’s employment at any time, but any termination by the Bank, other than Termination for Cause, shall not prejudice Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits under this Agreement. Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after Termination for Cause.

b. If Executive is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(3) or (g)(1); the Bank’s obligations under this contract shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Bank may in its discretion: (i) pay Executive all or part of the compensation withheld while their contract obligations were suspended; and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of the obligations which were suspended.

c. If Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(4) or (g)(1), all obligations of the Bank under this contract shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the contracting parties shall not be affected.

d. If the Bank is in default as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. §1813(x)(1) all obligations of the Bank under this contract shall terminate as of the date of default, but this paragraph shall not affect any vested rights of the contracting parties.

6

e. All obligations under this contract shall be terminated, except to the extent determined that continuation of the contract is necessary for the continued operation of the Bank: (i) by the Director of the OTS (or his designee), at the time the FDIC or the Resolution Trust Corporation, at the time the FDIC enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority contained in Section 13(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. §1823(c); or (ii) by the Director of the OTS (or his designee) at the time the Director (or his designee) approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to the operations of the Bank or when the Bank is determined by the Director to be in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already vested, however, shall not be affected by such action.

g. Any payments made to employees Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with 12 U.S.C. §1828(k) and FDIC regulation 12 C.F.R. Part 359, Golden Parachute and Indemnification Payments.
