NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation—The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ocean Shore Holding Co. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2007. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 or any other period.

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, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to the allowance for loan losses and deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements—In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 (i) defines fair value, (ii) establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and (iii) expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for all financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, issued in February 2008, delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in an entity’s financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008 for assets and liabilities that are not excluded from FSP No. 157-2 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R).” This statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit and postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur as a component of comprehensive income. The statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan was effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for the fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The impact of the adoption of this pronouncement and guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-4, “The Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“EITF 06-4”). EITF 06-4 addresses whether the postretirement benefit associated with an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement is effectively settled in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions” and APB Opinion No. 12 “Omnibus Opinion—1967” upon entering into such an arrangement. EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2008 required the Company to record a cumulative-effect retrospective adjustment to retained earnings and offsetting deferred compensation liability of $250,194.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Items eligible for fair value measurement option established by this statement are (i) recognized financial assets and financial liabilities (with some exceptions), (ii) firm commitments that would otherwise not be recognized at inception and that involve only financial instruments, (iii) nonfinancial insurance contracts and warranties that the insurer can settle by paying a third party to provide those goods or services and (iv) host financial instruments resulting from separation of an embedded nonfinancial derivative instrument from a nonfinancial hybrid instrument. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 159 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation as the Company did not elect to fair value any of its financial assets and financial liabilities that are not currently required to be measured at fair value.

Management believes that the estimated fair value of the securities is dependent upon the movement in market interest rate and the underlying credit rating of issuer 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 management were to determine that an other than temporary impairment exists.

At June 30, 2008, two debt securities had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. Those securities had aggregate depreciation of 9.44% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. The unrealized loss on these debt securities relates principally to the changes in market interest rates and a lack of liquidity currently in the financial markets. Management believes these unrealized losses to be temporary until those markets have stabilized and that the Company will receive all contractual principal and interest payments related to those investments. The corporate debt securities have no identified credit issues and have a current average credit rating of BBB. As management has the ability and intent to hold these debt securities until a forecasted recovery, which may be maturity, no decline is deemed to be other than temporary.

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company analyzed the continued decline in the fair value of the Company’s investment in its $8.0 million mutual funds portfolio and identified the impairment of these securities as other than temporary, recording a pretax loss of $312,965 as a charge against operating results. These mutual funds were subsequently sold in the second quarter at an additional pretax loss of $54,000.

Management believes that the estimated fair value of the securities is dependent upon the movement in market interest rates and that the unrealized losses are temporary. At June 30, 2008, five mortgage-backed securities had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. Those securities had aggregate depreciation of 2.14% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses relate principally to the changes in market interest rates. These securities represent asset backed federal agency issues and are currently rated AAA by at least one bond credit rating agency. As management has the ability and intent to hold these debt securities until a forecasted recovery, which may be maturity, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

6. 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 basic average shares outstanding, for the purposes of calculating basic earnings per share (“EPS”), is a result of subtracting unallocated ESOP shares, unvested restricted stock shares and treasury stock purchases from issued shares.

The calculated basic and dilutive EPS are as follows:

 

     Three Months Ended June 30,    Six Months Ended June 30,
             2008                    2007                    2008                    2007

7. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company’s 2005 Equity Based Incentive 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 Equity Plan Trust (the “Trust”) 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 June 30, 2008, 68,520 shares were fully vested and no shares were 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2008, approximately $99,356 and $198,712 was recognized in compensation expense for the plan, respectively.

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 reserved for future issuance pursuant to the Equity Plan, of which 396,000 were awarded on August 10, 2005, 24,000 were awarded on November 21, 2006 and 38,874 were awarded November 20, 2007. As of June 30, 2008, 426,374 options were outstanding. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, approximately $49,170 and $98,340, respectively, was recognized in compensation expense for the plan.

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123(R) using a modified prospective application. Accordingly, prior period amounts have not been restated. The adoption required a reclassification to additional paid in capital of $(1,821,000) from common stock acquired by employee benefits plans trust. As of June 30, 2008, expenses totaling $828,000 remain to be recognized over the next 2.1 years.

The estimated fair value of options granted during 2007 was $2.10 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, 2007
 

Dividend yield

   0.00 %

Expected volatility

   25.95 %

Risk-free interest rate

   3.25 %

Expected life of options

   5.0  

The dividend yield is zero because the Company had not declared any dividends and at the time of the grant, did not anticipate declaring any over the life of the options. The risk-free interest rate used was based on the rates of treasury securities with maturities equal to the expected lives of the options.

As of June 30, 2008, no audits were in process by a major tax jurisdiction that, if completed during the next twelve months, would be expected to result in a material change to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits, as none exist.

10. DECLARATION OF DIVIDEND

On April 16, 2008, the Company declared an initial quarterly cash dividend on the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock of $.05 per share that was paid on or about May 23, 2008 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 2, 2008.

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. The definition of fair value retains the exchange price notion in earlier definitions of fair value. SFAS No. 157 clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability. The definition focuses on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability (an exit price), not the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability (an entry price). SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, issued in February 2008, delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in an entity’s financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.

SFAS No. 157 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

In addition, SFAS No. 157 requires the Company to disclose the fair value for financial assets on both a recurring and non-recurring basis. The Company currently measures restricted equity investments on a non-recurring basis.

Those assets which will continue to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Interest income increased by $998,000 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007. The increase was driven by a $1.5 million increase in mortgage loan income which was offset by decreases in income on consumer loans and commercial loans. Declines in interest income on investment securities and other interest-earning assets also offset the growth in loan income. The increase in loan income resulted from an increase in the average balance of $108.7 million offset by a decrease in yield of 17 basis points. The decrease in investment income resulted from a decrease in the average balance of $19.9 million offset by an increase in average yield of 61 basis points. The decrease in income in other interest-earning assets resulted from decreases in average balance of $7.9 million and yield of 336 basis points.

Interest expense increased by $46,000, or 1.1%, over the second quarter of 2007. Increased interest expense on borrowings of $674,000 and time deposits of $20,000 was offset by a decrease in interest expense on interest-bearing demand deposits of $632,000 and a decrease in interest expense on savings accounts of $15,000. Interest-bearing deposit expense decreased as a result of decreases in the average balance of $31.1 million and cost of 116 basis points, while time deposit expense increased as a result of increased average balances of $18.9 million offset by a decrease in the cost by 47 basis points. Overall, the cost of deposits decreased 53 basis points to 2.71% from 3.24% in second quarter of 2008 versus 2007, while the average balance of deposits declined $16.9 million. Borrowing expense increased as a result of an increase in the average balance of $77.7 million offset by a decrease in the cost by 79 basis points.

The interest rate spread and net interest margin were 2.58% and 3.00%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 2.34% and 2.74% for the same period in 2007. The increase in average earning assets of $81.0 million and the decrease in average cost of funds of 37 basis points was offset by a rise of average interest bearing liabilities of $60.8 million and a decrease in the average yield on earning assets of 13 basis points.

The following table summarizes changes in interest income and interest expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Interest income increased by $2.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The increase was driven by a $2.9 million increase in mortgage loan income which was offset by decreases in income on consumer loans and commercial loans. Declines in interest income on investment securities and other interest-earning assets also offset the growth in loan income. The increase in loan income resulted from an increase in the average balance of $104.5 million offset by a decrease in the average yield of 11 basis points. The decrease in investment income resulted from a decrease in the average balance of $16.0 million offset by an increase in the average yield of 63 basis points. The decrease in income in other interest-earning assets resulted from decreases in the average balance of $10.6 million and average yield of 304 basis points.

Table of Contents

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. The balances of yields and costs are annualized for presentation purposes. 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.

Provision for Loan Losses

We review the level of the allowance for loan losses on a monthly basis and establish the provision for loan losses based on the volume and types of lending, delinquency levels, loss experience, the amount of classified loans, economic conditions and other factors related to the collectibility of the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses was $89,600 and $158,600 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, compared to $75,000 and $150,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. The provision for loan losses was primarily to maintain an allowance level deemed appropriate by management in light of factors such as the level of non-performing loans and the current market conditions.

Other income increased $30,000, or 4.7%, to $667,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 from the same period in 2007. The increase in income resulted from increases in income from service charges, cash surrender value of life insurance and other income totaling $84,000 offset by a loss on sale of securities of $54,000. The securities sold were identified as other than temporarily impaired in the first quarter of 2008.

Other income decreased $258,000, or 20.9%, to $977,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 from the same period in 2007. The decrease was the result of the Company’s identifying an impairment of fair value in an investment of its $8.0 million mutual fund portfolio as other than temporary resulting in a loss of $313,000 and the subsequent sale of those securities resulting in an additional loss of $54,000. These decreases were offset by increases in service charge income of $35,000, cash surrender value of life insurance of $39,000 and other income of $30,000.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased $292,000 to $699,000 for an effective tax rate of 39.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $407,000 for an effective tax rate of 39.7% for the same period in 2007. The increase in income taxes was a result of higher taxable income in 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.

Income taxes increased $429,000 to $1.2 million for an effective tax rate of 39.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $732,000 for an effective tax rate of 39.5% for the same period in 2007. The increase in income taxes was a result of higher taxable income in 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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.

Table of Contents

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 federal funds sold. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2008, cash and cash equivalents totaled $11.0 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale whose market value exceeds our cost, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $10.3 million at June 30, 2008. In addition, at June 30, 2008, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $46.5 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, which included available overnight lines of credit of $38.2 million. On that date, we had overnight advances outstanding of $9.2 million.

At June 30, 2008, we had $46.6 million in loan commitments outstanding, which included $13.0 million in undisbursed loans, $22.9 million in unused home equity lines of credit and $10.7 million in commercial lines of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2008 totaled $125.2 million, or 74.7% of certificates of deposit. 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.

At June 30, 2008, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible capital of $62.8 million, or 9.77% of total adjusted assets, which is above the required level of $9.6 million or 1.5%; core capital of $62.8 million, or 9.77% of total adjusted assets which is above the required level of $25.7 million or 4.0%; and risk-based capital of $65.3 million, or 17.26% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $30.2 million or 8.0%. The Bank is considered a “well-capitalized” institution under the Office of Thrift Supervision’s prompt corrective action regulations.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

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.

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

 

     At June 30, 2008
Percentage Change in Estimated
Net Interest Income Over
 
     12 Months     24 Months  

200 basis point increase in rates

   (7.18 )%   (8.00 )%

100 basis point decrease in rates

   (2.11 )%   (6.55 )%

 

27


Table of Contents

The 200 and 100 basis point change in rates in the above table is assumed to occur evenly over the following twelve months. Based on the scenario above, net interest income would be adversely affected (within our internal guidelines) in the twelve-month and twenty-four month period if rates rose by 200 basis points. The reason for the decrease in the twelve-month and twenty-four month period is that interest bearing liabilities will reprice faster than interest bearing assets. In addition, if rates declined by 100 basis points, net interest income would be adversely affected in the twelve-month and twenty-four month period. The reason for the decrease in the twelve-month and twenty-four month period is that interest bearing assets will reprice faster than interest bearing liabilities.

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 June 30, 2008 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.

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.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, 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.

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 officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
