Press Release

Ocean Shore Holding Co. Reports 1st Quarter Earnings

Ocean City, New Jersey - April 30, 2008 – Ocean Shore Holding Co. (NASDAQ: OSHC) today announced net income of $730,000 or $.09 per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a 45.7% increase as compared to the first quarter of 2007 net income of $501,000 or $.06 per basic and diluted share.

Ocean Shore Holding Co. (the “Company”) is the holding company for Ocean City Home Bank (the “Bank”), a federal savings bank headquartered in Ocean City, New Jersey. The Bank operates a total of eight full-service banking offices in eastern New Jersey.

“Notwithstanding all of the negative news about the economy, and real estate markets in particular, we are continuing to have success in growing our loan portfolio, building our deposit base and increasing earnings,” said Steven E. Brady, President and CEO. “We are especially proud of our ability to maintain superior asset quality in this challenging environment. At a time when many other institutions are taking large provisions and experiencing growing delinquencies, our non-performing assets were only 0.06% of total assets at March 31, 2008 and we had no charge-offs during the quarter.”

Total Assets and Deposits Grow

Total assets grew $32.1 million, or 5.1%, to $661.6 million at March 31, 2008 from December 31, 2007. Loans receivable, net, grew $25.0 million, or 4.7%, to $553.1 million on steady loan activity, while investment and mortgage-backed securities declined $4.2 million, or 7.2%, to $54.7 million during the first quarter of 2008. Growth in real estate mortgage loans of $26.6 million and construction loans of $167,000 was offset by a decline in consumer loans of $1.4 million and commercial loans of $400,000.

Deposits grew $13.5 million, or 3.3%, to $428.8 million at March 31, 2008 from December 31, 2007. The Company continued its focus on core deposits, which increased $8.7 million, or 3.6%, to $252.1 million. Certificates of deposit increased $4.8 million, or 2.8%, to $176.7 million at March 31, 2008 compared to year-end 2007. Total borrowings increased $17.8 million, or 12.4%, to $161.5 million at March 31, 2008 from December 31, 2007. All of the increase was in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.

Asset Quality Remains Excellent

The Company’s asset quality continues to be excellent. Non-performing assets totaled only $396,000 at March 31, 2008. The Company experienced no charge-off activity for the first quarter of 2008 or 2007. The allowance for loan losses was 0.43% of total loans at March 31, 2008 compared to 0.44% at December 31, 2007 and 0.48% of total loans at March 31, 2007.

Net Interest Income Increases over Prior Period

Net interest income increased $690,000, or 19.0%, to $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2008 compared to $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2007. Net interest margin increased 8 basis points in the quarter ended March 2008 to 2.90% versus 2.82% for the quarter ended December 2007 and 11 basis points from 2.79% for the quarter ended March 2007. The growth in net interest income in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007 was the result of an increase in average interest-earning assets of $74.9 million, an increase of 3 basis points in the average yield to 5.95% and a decrease of 17 basis points in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 3.36%. These changes were offset by an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $78.0 million.

Other Income Decreases over Prior Period

Other income decreased $288,000, or 48.1%, to $310,000 for the first quarter of 2008 compared to $598,000 in the first quarter of 2007. Due to the continued decline in the fair value of the Company’s investment in its $8.0 million mutual funds portfolio, the Company identified the impairment of these securities as other than temporary and recorded the March 31, 2008 pretax loss of $313,000 as a charge against operating results. These mutual funds were subsequently sold in the second quarter at an additional pretax loss of $54,000.
