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 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, 2006. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to the allowance for loan losses and deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements—In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement 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 adoption of Statement No. 155 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement 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 adoption of Statement No. 156 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,“Accounting for Income Taxes”. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and
5
transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. When applicable, accrued interest and any related accrued penalties on uncertain income tax positions are recognized in the provision for income taxes. As of January 1, 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. As of January 1, 2007, the tax years ended December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2007, 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.
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. The Company currently is considering the impact, if any, that may result from the adoption of SFAS No. 157.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement 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 is effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The impact of this pronouncement and guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. 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 Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of this pronouncement and does not expect that the guidance will have an effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
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 FASB Statement 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 Company is considering the impact, if any, that may result from the adoption of EITF 06-4.
The EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-5,“Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance—Determining the Amount that Could be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4” (“EITF 06-5”). EITF 06-5 addresses (i) whether a policyholder should consider any additional amounts included in the contractual terms of the insurance policy other than the cash surrender value in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract in accordance with Technical Bulletin 85-4; (ii) whether a policyholder should consider the contractual ability to surrender all of the individual-life policies (or certificates in a group policy) at the same time in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract in accordance with Technical Bulletin 85-4; and (iii) whether the cash surrender value component of the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract in accordance with Technical Bulletin 85-4“Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance” should be discounted in accordance with APB Opinion No. 21“Interest on Receivables and Payables”, when contractual limitations on the ability to surrender a policy exist. EITF 06-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of EITF 06-5, did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
6
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 is considering the impact, if any, that may result from the adoption of SFAS No. 159.

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 the issuer of the securities 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 September 30, 2007, three debt securities had aggregate depreciation of 9.43% from the Company’s amortized cost basis for 12 months or longer. The unrealized loss on debt securities relates principally to the changes in market interest rates. U.S. Government and federal agencies securities represent U.S. treasury and federal agency issues and are currently rated AAA by at least one bond credit rating agency. The corporate securities have no identified credit issues and have a current average credit rating of A. 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.
At September 30, 2007, two mutual fund holdings had aggregate depreciation of 3.57% from the Company’s amortized cost basis for 12 months or longer. Although the mutual fund holdings have unrealized losses, no credit issues have been identified that cause management to believe that declines in market value are other-than-temporary as the securities in the portfolios of the mutual fund holdings are
8
AAA rated government or agencies bonds. Although the fair value of the mutual fund holdings will fluctuate as the market interest rates move, management believes that the fair value will recover as the securities held in the mutual fund portfolios mature and are reinvested at market rate yielding investments. Management has the ability and intent to hold these mutual funds until such time that the values recover.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities held to maturity and available for sale at September 30, 2007 by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

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 September 30, 2007, 22 mortgage-backed securities had aggregate depreciation of 2.58% from the Company’s amortized cost basis for 12 months or longer. 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 September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| 2007 | | 2006 | | 2007 | | 2006 |

Basic average shares outstanding | | | 8,088,991 | | | 8,255,269 | | | 8,127,967 | | | 8,280,798 |
Effect of diluted securities | | | 117,676 | | | 138,187 | | | 129,420 | | | 163,824 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Dilutive average shares outstanding | | | 8,206,667 | | | 8,393,456 | | | 8,257,387 | | | 8,444,622 |

At September 30, 2007 there were 390,000 outstanding options that were anti-dilutive.
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 September 30, 2007, 68,250 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007, approximately $99,000 and $199,000 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 and 24,000 were awarded on November 21, 2006. As of September 30, 2007, 390,000 options were outstanding. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, approximately $51,000 and $170,000, 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 September 30, 2007, expenses totaling $312,000 remain to be recognized over the next 3.9 years.
The estimated fair value of options granted during 2006 was $2.52 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, 2006 | |
Dividend yield | | 0.00 | % |
Expected volatility | | 19.79 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | 4.50 | % |
Expected life of options | | 5.0 | |
The dividend yield is zero because the Company has not declared any dividends and does not expect to declare 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.

8. STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN
On April 18, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the repurchase of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market. As of September 30, 2007, 128,050 shares had been purchased at an average cost of $11.96 per share.
On March 29, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the repurchase of 200,087 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market. As of March 31, 2007, 200,087 shares had been purchased at an average cost of $13.07.
9. INCOME TAXES
Income taxes increased $252,000 to $1.16 million for an effective tax rate of 37.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $907,000 for an effective tax rate of 26.1% for the same period in 2006. The effective tax rate increase is primarily due to the Company’s change in policy regarding the tax treatment on bank owned life insurance during the third quarter of 2006 which resulted in a $500,000 decrease in income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. In the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded a tax refund of $242,000. Partially offsetting the impact of the refund was a $168,000 tax valuation allowance relating to the deferred tax asset established in connection with the Company’s contribution to the charitable foundation established in connection with its public offering in December of 2004. The Company determined that, based on its assessment of future taxable income and expectations of charitable contributions, it is probable that the tax benefit of the contribution may not be fully realized.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AND DECEMBER 31, 2006
Total assets of the Company increased by $41.1 million to $603.4 million at September 30, 2007, from $562.3 million at December 31, 2006. Loans receivable, net, increased $53.1 million, investment and mortgage-backed securities decreased $7.3 million and cash and cash equivalents decreased by $8.6 million.
Investments
Investments decreased $1.0 million to $22.8 million at September 30, 2007 from $23.8 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease was the result of called corporate bonds and decreases in valuation allowances. Mortgage-backed securities decreased by $6.4 million to $38.0 million from $44.4 million at December 31, 2006 primarily due to normal monthly payments received. The Company had no mortgage backed securities with underlying collateral that would be considered subprime, which is defined as mortgage loans advanced to borrowers who do not qualify for market interest rates because of problems with their credit history. All mortgage-backed securities owned by the Company as of September 30, 2007 possessed the highest possible investment credit rating.

Non-Performing Assets
Non-performing assets totaled $247,000 at September 30, 2007. Net charge-offs were $5,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $4,000 in the same period last year. The allowance for loan losses was 0.46% of total loans at both September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006.
The secondary mortgage market was adversely impacted during the third quarter of 2007 by deteriorated investor demand for mortgage loan products, particularly with regard to subprime products, as investors tightened credit standards and offered less favorable pricing. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, the Company has not experienced a decline in credit quality based on trends in net charge-offs, delinquencies, and nonperforming assets. At both September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had no real estate loans that would be considered subprime loans, which is defined as mortgage loans advanced to borrowers who do not qualify for market interest rates because of problems with their credit history. The Company does not originate subprime loans. The Company’s lending standards are discussed in Item 1 of its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity decreased by $53,000 to $62.5 million at September 30, 2007, from $62.6 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease was the result of current period earnings of $1.9 million, offset by purchases of treasury stock and changes to accumulated other comprehensive income.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AND 2006
Net income was $811,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The $358,000, or 30.6%, decrease in 2007 from 2006 was due to a decrease in net interest income of $97,000 and an increase in income tax expense of $423,000 offset by a decrease in other expenses of $46,000, an increase in other income of $89,000 and a decrease in provision for loan losses of $27,000.
Net income was $1,931,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The $641,000, or 24.9%, decrease in 2007 from 2006 was due to a decrease in net interest income of $374,000, an increase in income tax expense of $252,000 and an increase in other expenses of $211,000, offset by an increase in other income of $170,000.

Interest income increased by $613,000 in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the third quarter of 2006, including a $727,000 increase in mortgage loan income and a $44,000 increase in consumer loan income offset by a $67,000 decrease in commercial loan income, a $35,000 decrease in investment securities income and a $56,000 decrease in income on other interest-earning assets. The increase in loan income resulted from an increase in the average balance of loans of $44.8 million and an increase in the average yield of 3 basis points. The decrease in investment income resulted from a decrease in the average balance of $14.4 million that was partially offset by an increase in the average yield of 95 basis points. The decrease in income from other interest-earning assets resulted from an decrease in the average balance of federal funds of $3.8 million and an decrease in the average yield of 28 basis points.
Interest expense increased by $710,000, including an increase in time deposit expense of $255,000, an increase in all other deposits of $108,000 and an increase in interest expense on borrowings of $408,000 offset by a decrease in municipal deposit expense of $50,000. Time deposit and other deposit expense increased as a result of deposit growth and an increase in the average rate paid while municipal deposit expense decreased as a result of lower interest paid offset by higher balances. Overall, the cost of deposits increased 31 basis points to 3.24% from 2.93% in third quarter of 2007 versus 2006, while the average balance of deposits was unchanged. Borrowing expense increased as a result of an increase in the average balance of borrowings of $35.6 million, offset by a lower average rate paid of 30 basis points.
The interest rate spread and net interest margin were 2.38% and 2.76%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 2.55% and 2.97% for the same period in 2006. The increase in average earning assets of $26.6 million and the increase in average yield of 16 basis points was offset by a rise of average interest bearing liabilities of $35.5 million and an increase in the average cost paid on these liabilities of 34 basis points. New loans and investments at rates higher than the existing portfolio were offset by a rise in borrowed funds and interest rates paid on deposits in the third quarter of 2007 compared to 2006, increasing the cost of deposits and borrowings.

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

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 $48,000 and $198,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, compared to $75,000 and $225,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The provision for loan loses was primarily to maintain an allowance level deemed appropriate by management in light of factors such as the level of non-performing loans, charge-offs and current market and economic conditions.

Other expenses decreased $46,000 to $3.17 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 from the same period in 2006. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $87,000 due to lower employee benefits and higher credits of deferred personnel costs due to higher loan volume in the third quarter of 2007 from the same period in 2006. Occupancy and equipment increased $25,000 and other expenses increased $16,000 due to normal increases.

| | | | | | | | | |
Other expenses increased $211,000 to $9.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 from the same period in 2006. Increased personnel and occupancy costs associated with the opening of a new branch office in November of 2006 accounted for $322,000 in increased other expenses. In addition, excluding the costs associated with the new branch, salaries and employee benefits decreased $181,000 primarily due to higher credits of deferred personnel costs due to higher loan volume in the third quarter of 2007 from the same period in 2006. Occupancy and equipment, advertising, professional services and other operating expenses accounted for the remaining $70,000 increase due to normal activity.
Income Taxes
Income taxes increased $423,000 to $428,000 for an effective tax rate of 34.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $5,000 for an effective tax rate of 0.4% for the same period in 2006. The increase is primarily due to the Company’s change in policy regarding the tax treatment on bank owned life insurance during the third quarter of 2006 which resulted in a $500,000 decrease in income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. In the quarter ended September 30, 2007 the Company recorded a tax refund of $242,000. Partially offsetting the impact of the refund was a $168,000 tax valuation allowance relating to the deferred tax asset established in connection with the Company’s contribution to the charitable foundation established in connection with its public offering in December of 2004. The Company determined that, based on its assessment of future taxable income and expectations of charitable contributions, it is probable that the tax benefit of the contribution may not be fully realized.
Income taxes increased $252,000 to $1.2 million for an effective tax rate of 37.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $907,000 for an effective tax rate of 26.1% for the same period in 2006. The increase is primarily due to the Company’s change in policy in 2006, as discussed above.

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.
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 September 30, 2007, cash and cash equivalents totaled $24.8 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale whose market value exceeds our cost, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $13.9 million at September 30, 2007. In addition, at September 30, 2007, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $142.8 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, which included available overnight lines of credit of $47.4 million. On that date, we had no overnight advances outstanding.
At September 30, 2007, we had $51.5 million in loan commitments outstanding, which included $19.4 million in undisbursed loans, $21.6 million in unused home equity lines of credit and $10.6 million in commercial lines of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year of September 30, 2007 totaled $102.9 million, or 66.3% 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 September 30, 2007, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible capital of $60.1 million, or 10.26% of total adjusted assets, which is above the required level of $8.8 million or 1.5%; core capital of $60.1 million, or 10.26% of total adjusted assets which is above the required level of $23.4 million or 4.0%; and risk-based capital of $62.4 million, or 18.39% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $27.1 million or 8.0%. The Bank is considered a “well-capitalized” institution under the Office of Thrift Supervision’s prompt corrective action regulations.
On April 18, 2007, the Company announced that its board of directors approved the repurchase of up to 200,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which is approximately 5% of outstanding shares not held by OC Financial MHC. The program began on April 30, 2007. Repurchases, which will be conducted through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, will be made from time to time depending on market conditions and other factors. Repurchased shares will be held in treasury. As of the close of business on October 31, 2007, the Company had repurchased 128,050 shares under this plan at an average cost of $11.96.
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.
26
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 September 30, 2007 Percentage Change in Estimated Net Interest Income Over | |
| 12 Months | | | 24 Months | |
200 basis point increase in rates | | (4.50 | )% | | (13.88 | )% |
100 basis point decrease in rates | | 1.87 | | | 3.94 | |
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. In addition, if rates declined by 100 basis points, net interest income would be positively affected in the twelve-month and twenty-four month period. The reason for the increase in the twelve-month and twenty-four month period is that short-term interest-bearing liabilities will reprice faster at lower rates than interest-bearing assets.
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 September 30, 2007 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007, 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.
