Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board No. 25 and accordingly has recognized no compensation expense under this method. Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation” as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”, permits the use of the intrinsic value method; however, the amended statement requires the Company to disclose the pro forma net income and earnings per share as if the stock-based compensation had been accounted for using the fair value method. Had the compensation costs for the Company’s stock option plan been determined based on the fair value method, the Company’s net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except per share data):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Critical Accounting Policies
Note 1 to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, as supplemented by this report, contains a summary of significant accounting policies. Various elements of these accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. Certain assets are carried in the consolidated statements of financial condition at fair value or the lower of cost or fair value. Policies with respect to the methodologies used to determine the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of Mortgage Servicing Rights and judgments regarding securities impairment are the most critical accounting policies because they are important to the presentation of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, involve a higher degree of complexity and require management to make difficult and subjective judgments which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. The use of different judgments, assumptions and estimates could result in material differences in the results of operations or financial condition. These critical accounting policies and their application are reviewed periodically and, at least annually, with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Summary
The Company’s results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on the Company’s interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, and the interest expense on its interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Company also generates non-interest income such as income from loan sales, loan servicing, loan originations, merchant credit card services, deposit accounts, the sale of alternative investments, trust and asset management services and other fees. The Company’s operating expenses primarily consist of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, marketing, and other general and administrative expenses. The Company’s results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory agencies.
After declining to historically low levels in mid 2003, interest rates have risen during 2004, with most of the increase occurring in the second quarter. The previously low interest rate environment generally had an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results. Prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities caused asset yields to decline at a faster rate than the cost of liabilities, causing the Company’s net interest margin to contract. Loan servicing income and the resultant value of the Company’s servicing asset was also adversely affected in 2003 by the heavy prepayment activity. The Company did benefit from a higher volume of loan originations, much of which was sold. The gain on these sales substantially increased the Company’s non-interest income.
With the recent interest rate increases, loan refinance activity and the related cash flows have decreased. Loan servicing income and asset values have improved and loan sales and related gain have declined.
The Company continues to focus on growing loans receivable. The higher interest rate environment is expected to spur growth in the residential loan portfolio due to reduced prepayment levels and a change in the mix of loans to adjustable-rate loans as compared to 30-year fixed-rate loans which the Company generally sold. The Company also plans to open a joint residential/commercial loan production office in Monmouth County. Additionally, on July 15, 2004, Columbia Equities, Ltd., the mortgage banking subsidiary of OceanFirst Bank, completed the acquisition of a consumer direct lending operation based in Kenilworth, New Jersey. The unit specializes in the origination of conventional and non-conforming mortgage loans through marketing agreements with high profile internet based lead generators. The acquisition is expected to increase Columbia’s production capability by $200 million annually and be immediately accretive to earnings.
While the Company has recently focused on growing core deposits (defined as all deposits other than time deposits) the recent rise in interest rates provided the Company with an opportunity to be more competitive in the market for time deposits within established pricing guidelines. Both core and time deposit balances increased during the second quarter. The Company currently plans to open a new branch office in Little Egg Harbor Township.
Analysis of Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income also depends upon the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them.

Additionally, the table below sets forth the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk as measured by the change in net portfolio value (“NPV”) and net interest income under varying rate shocks as of March 31,June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

The Company’s interest rate sensitivity should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2003.

In addition, based on that evaluation, no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
