EXPLANATORY NOTE
Ocean Shore Holding Co., a New Jersey corporation (the “Registrant”), was organized by Ocean City Home Bank (the “Bank”) to facilitate the “second-step” conversion of the Bank from the mutual holding company structure to the stock holding company structure (the “Conversion”). Upon consummation of the Conversion the Registrant will become the holding company for the Bank and will own all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Bank’s common stock. As part of the Conversion, shares of the Registrant’s common stock will be issued and sold in an offering to certain depositors of the Bank and others and will also be issued in exchange for the currently issued and outstanding shares of Ocean Shore Holding Co., a federal corporation and the current mid-tier holding company for the Bank (“Ocean Shore Holding”), held by persons other than OC Financial MHC. The Registrant filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-153454) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 12, 2008, which was declared effective by the SEC on November 12, 2008. The transactions contemplated by the Plan of Conversion were conditionally approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision on November 12, 2008 and were approved by the shareholders of Ocean Shore Holding and members of OC Financial MHC on January 8, 2009. The Plan of Conversion will terminate on January 8, 2011 if Ocean Shore Holding has not completed the conversion by that date.
The information in this report is for Ocean Shore Holding. Separate financial statements for the Registrant have not been included in this report because the Registrant, which has not issued any shares and has engaged only in organizational activities to date, has no significant assets, contingent or other liabilities, revenues or expenses.

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 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, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim information, 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 (“GAAP”). 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, 2008. The results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 or any other period. In connection with the preparation of the accompanying financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions through November 16, 2009, which is the date the financial statements are issued.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements - The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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, deferred income taxes and the fair value measurement for financial instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) -The Company classifies items of other comprehensive income (loss) by their nature and displays the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income (loss) separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Amounts categorized as other comprehensive income (loss) represent net unrealized gains or losses on investment securities available for sale, net of tax and the non-credit portion of any other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) loss not recorded in earnings, when applicable. The company reported other comprehensive income of $3.1 million and $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 respectively. Reclassifications are made to avoid double counting in comprehensive income (loss) items which are displayed as part of net income for the period. These reclassifications are as follows:

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168,The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10 Generally accepted accounting principles). The topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. This topic is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 for most entities. On the effective date, all non-SEC accounting and reporting standards were superseded. The Company has adopted the requirements of ASC 105-10 for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or statement of cash flows.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165,Subsequent Events (ASC 855-10Subsequent Events). Subsequent Events topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification sets forth guidance concerning the recognition or disclosure of events or transactions that occur subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the release of the financial statements. The statement requires that management of a public company evaluate subsequent events for recognition and/or disclosure through the date of issuance, disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, and whether that date is the date the financial statements were issued or available to be issued. The statement also delineates between and defines the recognition and disclosure requirements for recognized subsequent events and non-recognized subsequent events. Recognized subsequent events provide additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the balance sheet date and will be recognized in the entity’s financial statements. The requirements of the topic are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or statement of cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 28-1,Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (ASC 825-10Financial Instruments). The Financial Instruments topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification requires a public entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information, effective for interim and annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the guidance as of June 30, 2009. As the standard amends only the disclosure requirements of financial instruments, the adoption did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or statement of cash flows. The disclosures required by this statement are contained in Note 9.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2,Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments(ASC 320-10Investments - Debt and Equity) which amends existing guidance for determining whether an impairment of debt securities is other than temporary and replaces the existing requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. The investments topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification also indicates that declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses if the company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the securities. The amount of impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The provisions of this topic are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the guidance as of June 30, 2009 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or statement of cash flows.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-4,Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (ASC 820-10Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). This guidance includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity, affirms the objective of fair value when a market is not active, eliminates the presumption that all transactions in an inactive market are distressed unless proven otherwise, and requires an entity to disclose inputs and valuation techniques, and changes therein, used to measure fair value. The provisions are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this requirements as of June 30, 2009 and it had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or statement of cash flows The disclosures required by this statement are contained in Note 9.
In January 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 99-20-1,Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securities Financial Assets (ASC 325-40Investments Other- Beneficial interests In Securitized Financial Assets)to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) has occurred. This ASC amended previous guidance to more closely align the OTTI guidance therein to the guidance in ASC 320,Investments – Debt & Equity Securities. The section is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008, and shall be applied prospectively. Retrospective application to a prior interim or annual reporting period is not permitted. The company adopted the requirements as of December 31, 2008 and it did not have material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or statement of cash flows.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (ASC 260-10Earnings Per Share). This guidance addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (EPS) under the two-class method.It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 260-10 on January 1, 2009 and it did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or statement of cash flows, as it did not change its current practice.

Management has reviewed its investment securities as of September 30, 2009 and has determined that all declines in fair value below amortized cost were concluded to be temporary.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. The Company determines whether the unrealized losses are temporary in accordance with EITF 99-20 (ASC 325-10),Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Asset as amended by FSP EITF 99-20-1 (ASC 325-10Investments Other - Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets),Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20, when applicable, and FSP SFAS No. 115-1 and SFAS No. 124-1 (ASC 320-10Investments - Debt and Equity),The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments and FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2,Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (ASC 320-10Investments - Debt and Equity). The evaluation is based upon factors such as the creditworthiness of the issuers/guarantors, the underlying collateral, if applicable, and the continuing performance of the securities. Management also evaluates other facts and circumstances that may be indicative of an OTTI condition. This includes, but is not limited to, an evaluation of the type of security, length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, and near-term prospects of the issuer.
In April 2009, the accounting regulations in the United States changed the existing impairment guidelines with respect to debt securities requiring the Company to assess whether the credit loss existed by considering whether (1) the Company has the intent to sell the security, (2) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, or (3) it does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. The guidance allows the Company to bifurcate the impact on securities where impairment in value was deemed to be other than temporary between the component representing credit loss and the component representing loss related to other factors, when the security is not otherwise intended to be sold or is required to be sold. The portion of the fair value decline attributable to credit loss must be recognized through a charge to earnings. The credit component is determined by comparing the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the rate in effect before recognizing any OTTI, with the amortized cost basis of the debt security. The Company uses the cash flow expected to be realized from the security, which includes assumptions about interest rates, timing and severity of defaults, estimates of potential recoveries, the cash flow distribution from the bond indenture and other factors, then applies a discount rate equal to the effective yield of the security. The difference between the present value of the expected cash flows and the amortized book value is considered a credit loss. The fair market value of the security is determined using the same expected cash flows, where market-based observable inputs are not available; the discount rate is a rate the Company determines from open market and other sources as appropriate for the security. The fair value is based on market prices or market-based observable inputs where available. The difference between the fair market value and the credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Upon adoption of the new accounting regulations, the Company was required to record a cumulative effect adjustment to reclassify the non-credit portion of any other-than-temporary impairments previously recorded through earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income. The adoption had no impact on the opening balance sheet as the entire amount of the previously recorded charges was concluded to be credit related impairment.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company updated its assessment of securities with unrealized losses and whether the losses were temporary in nature. Upon completion of this review, no additional credit losses were incurred related to securities for which the Company had previously recorded an OTTI charge in prior periods or other securities which were in unrealized loss positions at September 30, 2009.
Below is a roll forward of the anticipated credit losses on securities for which the Company has recorded other than temporary impairment charges through earnings and other comprehensive income.

Two pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”) backed by bank trust capital securities have been determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired due solely to credit related factors. These securities have Fitch credit ratings below investment grade at September 30, 2009. Each of the securities is in the mezzanine levels of credit subordination. The underlying collateral consists of the bank trust capital securities of over 50 institutions. A summary of key assumptions utilized to forecast future expected cash flows on the securities determined to have OTTI were as follows as of September 30, 2009:
| | |
| | September 30, 2009 |
Future loss rate assumption per annum | | .8 to 1.2% |
Expected cumulative loss percentage | | 27.8% |
Cumulative loss percentage to date | | 27.7 to 21.1% |
Remaining life | | 34 years |
Corporate Debt Securities – The Company’s investments in corporate debt securities consist of corporate debt securities issued by large financial institutions and single issuers and CDOs backed by bank trust preferred capital securities.
At September 30, 2009, six debt securities had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. Those securities had aggregate depreciation of 36.8% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. There has been limited secondary market trading for these types of securities, as a declining domestic economy and increasing credit losses in the banking industry have led to illiquidity in the market for these types of securities. 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. These securities were performing in accordance with their contractual terms as of September 30, 2009, and had paid all contractual cash flows since the Company’s initial investment. Accordingly, the Company currently believes it is probable that it will collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the investment. Management concluded that an other-than-temporary impairment did not exist and that the decline in value was attributed to the illiquidity in the financial markets, based upon its analysis and the fact that the Company does not intend to sell these securities and that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities.

United States Treasury and Government Sponsored Enterprise Mortgage-Backed Securities - The Company’s investments in United States government sponsored enterprise notes consist of debt obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), and Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”). At September 30, 2009, five agency mortgage-backed securities had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. Those securities had aggregate depreciation of 0.5% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses relate principally to the changes in market interest rates since the time of purchase and the widening of credit spreads of mortgage backed securities markets. These securities represent asset-backed issues that are issued or guaranteed by a U.S. Government sponsored agency or carrying the full faith and credit of the United States through a government agency and are currently rated AAA by at least one bond credit rating agency. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities, and the Company anticipates it will recover the entire amortized cost basis of the securities. Accordingly, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2009.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities available for sale at September 30, 2009 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.

The Company established a provision for loan losses of $490,500 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and $894,500 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $113,900 and $272,500 for the comparable periods in 2008. The primary factors in the increase of the loan loss provision for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 were loan growth and specific reserves for two loans in foreclosure and concluded to be impaired.
At September 30, 2009, the Company’s non-performing assets (which consist of nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned) totaled $2.7 million or 0.36% of total assets. Non-performing assets consisted of other real estate owned totaling approximately $157,000, nine one-to-four family residential mortgage loans totaling $2.5 million and two consumer loan totaling $39,837. The allowance for loan losses totaled $3.5 million, or 0.53% of total loans and 137.7% of non-performing loans.
Nonperforming loans (which consist of nonaccrual loans) at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 amounted to approximately $2.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
We account for our impaired loans under generally accepted accounting principles. An impaired loan generally is one for which it is probable, based on current information, that the lender will not collect all the amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan. Large groups of smaller balance, homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Loans collectively evaluated for impairment include smaller balance commercial real estate loans, residential real estate loans and consumer loans. These loans are evaluated as a group because they have similar characteristics and performance experience. Larger commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans are individually evaluated for impairment.
As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired was as follows:
| | | | | | |

6. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), Share-Based Payment (ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation). The Company establishes fair value for its equity awards to determine their cost. The Company recognizes the related expense for employees over the appropriate vesting period, or when applicable, service period, using the straight-line method. However, consistent with the stock compensation topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the amount of stock-based compensation recognized at any date must at least equal the portion of the grant date value of the award that is vested at that date and as a result it may be necessary to recognize the expense using a ratable method. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 96-18,Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees, (ASC 505-50,Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees) the compensation expense for non-employees is recognized on the grant date, or when applicable, the service period using the straight-line method.
The Company’s 2005 Equity-Based Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) authorizes the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to awards that may be granted in the form of stock options to purchase common stock (“options”) and awards of shares of common stock (“stock awards”). The purpose of the Equity Plan is to attract and retain personnel for positions of substantial responsibility and to provide additional incentives to certain officers, directors, advisory directors, employees and other persons to promote the success of the Company. Under the Equity Plan, options expire ten years after the date of grant, unless terminated earlier under the option terms. A committee of non-employee directors has the authority to determine the conditions upon which the options granted will vest. Options are granted at the exercise price equal to the then fair market value of the Company’s stock.
A summary of the status of the Company’s stock options under the Equity Plan as of September 30, 2009 and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are presented below:

The compensation expense recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $123,811 and $385,506, respectively, as compared to $140,485 and $437,538 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.
As of September 30, 2009, there was approximately $79,321 and $331,146 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to options and nonvested stock awards, respectively, granted under the Equity Plan. The cost of the options and stock awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years and 0.8 years, respectively.
7. INCOME TAXES
Income taxes increased $297,000 to $1.8 million for an effective tax rate of 38.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $1.48 million for an effective tax rate of 40.7% for the same period in 2008.
The Company recognizes, when applicable, interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated income statement. As of January 1, 2009, the tax years ended December 31, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 were subject to examination by all tax jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2009, 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.
8. DECLARATION OF DIVIDEND
During the third quarter of 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share, which was paid on or about September 4, 2009 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 7, 2009.
9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Company accounts for fair value measurement in accordance the fair value measurement and disclosures topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The fair value measurement and disclosures topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.
The fair value measurement and disclosures topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the US accounting regulations established a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).
13
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
The standard specifically defines the 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.
The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
In addition, the Company is to disclose the fair value measurements for financial assets on both a recurring and non-recurring basis.
Those assets which will continue to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | |

As a result of general market conditions and the illiquidity in the market for both single issuer and pooled trust preferred securities, management deemed it necessary to perform its market value measurement of each of the trust preferred securities based upon an internally developed discounted cash flow model (Level 3). In arriving at the discount rate used in the model for each issue, the Company identified a trading group of similar securities quoted on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market, based upon its review of market data points, such as Moody’s or comparable credit ratings, maturity, price, and yield. The Company indexed the individual securities within the trading group to a comparable interest rate swap (to maturity) in determining the spread. The average spread on the trading group was matched with the individual trust preferred issues based on their comparable credit rating which was then used in arriving at the discount rate input to the model. The Company did not measure any assets or liabilities using a Level 3 measurement prior to September 30, 2008.

In accordance with the fair value measurement and disclosures topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification management assessed whether the volume and level of activity for certain assets have significantly decreased when compared with normal market conditions. The Company concluded that there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity with respect to certain investments included in the corporate debt securities and classified as level 2 in accordance with the framework for fair value measurements. Fair value for such securities is obtained from third party broker quotes. The Company evaluated these values to determine that the quoted price is based on current information that reflects orderly transactions or a valuation technique that reflects market participant assumptions by benchmarking the valuation results and assumptions used against similar securities that are more actively traded in order to assess the reasonableness of the estimated fair values. The fair market value estimates we assign to these securities assume liquidation in an orderly fashion and not under distressed circumstances.
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The Company measures impaired loans, restricted equity investments and loans or bank properties transferred into other real estate owned at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Impaired Loans
The Company considers loans to be impaired when it becomes probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Under SFAS No. 114 (ASC 310Receivables), collateral dependent impaired loans are valued based on the fair value of the collateral which is based on appraisals. In some cases, adjustments are made to the appraised values for various factors including age of the appraisal, age of the comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral. These adjustments are based upon unobservable inputs, and therefore, the fair value measurement has been categorized as a Level 3 measurement. At September 30, 2009, specific reserves were calculated for an impaired loan with a carrying amount of $760,000. The collateral underlying this loan had a fair value of $360,000, resulting in a specific reserve in the allowance for loan losses of $400,000. No specific reserve was calculated for impaired loans with an aggregate carrying amount of $1.8 million at September 30, 2009, as the underlying collateral value was not below the carrying amount.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
The Company holds required equity investments in the stock of Federal Home Loan Bank. Investment in the FHLB stock is evaluated for impairment in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position No. 01-6,Accounting by Certain Entities (Including Entities With Trade Receivables) That Lend to or Finance the Activities of Others(ASC 942-325Financial Services – Depository Lending –Investments Other). These investments may be measured based upon a discounted cash flow model reliant on observable and unobservable inputs, and therefore, the fair value measurement has been categorized as a Level 2 or 3, depending on such inputs used. At September 30, 2009, the Company determined that there was no impairment and, therefore, fair value disclosure under the provision of the fair value measurement and disclosures topic is not applicable.
Real Estate Owned
Once an asset is determined to be uncollectible, the underlying collateral is repossessed and reclassified to foreclosed real estate and repossessed assets. These assets are carried at lower of cost or fair value of the collateral, less cost to sell. In some cases, adjustments are made to the appraised values for various factors including age of the appraisal, age of the comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral. These adjustments are based upon unobservable inputs, and therefore, the fair value measurement has been categorized as a Level 3 measurement. At September 30, 2009, the Company deemed one loan uncollectible and took possession of the underlying collateral. The collateral underlying the loan had a fair value of $95,000, with an aggregate carrying value of $198,000, triggering a net charge off of approximately $101,000.
In accordance with SFAS No. 107Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments(ASC 825-10-50-10,Fair Value of Financial Instrument) the Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments. The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a distressed sale. Fair value is best determined using observable market prices; however for many of the Company’s financial instruments no quoted market prices are readily available. In instances where quoted market prices are not readily available, fair value is determined using present value or other techniques appropriate for the particular instrument. These techniques involve some degree of judgment and as a result are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange. Different assumptions or estimation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.

Junior subordinated debenture | | 15,464,000 | | 7,732,000 | | 15,464,000 | | 6,958,800 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents—For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities—For investment securities, fair values are based on a combination of quoted prices for identical assets in active markets, quoted prices for similar assets in markets that are either actively or not actively traded and pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques that may contain unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and require significant judgment. For investment securities that do not actively trade in the marketplace, (primarily our investment in trust preferred securities of non-publicly traded companies) fair value is obtained from third party broker quotes. The Company evaluates prices from a third party pricing service, third party broker quotes, and from another independent third party valuation source to determine their estimated fair value. These quotes are benchmarked against similar securities that are more actively traded in order to assess the reasonableness of the estimated fair values. The fair market value estimates we assign to these securities assume liquidation in an orderly fashion and not under distressed circumstances. For securities classified as available for sale the changes in fair value are reflected in the carrying value of the asset and are shown as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
Loans Receivable - Net—The fair value of loans receivable is estimated based on the present value using discounted cash flows based on estimated market discount rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers and reflect similar credit ratings and interest rate risk for the same remaining maturities.
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. While certain conditions are noted that required management to evaluate the stock for impairment, it is currently probable that the Company will realize its cost basis. Management concluded that no impairment existed as of September 30, 2009. 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 was estimated by determining the cost or benefit for early termination of each individual borrowing.
Junior Subordinated Debenture—The fair value was estimated by discounting approximate cash flows of the borrowings by yields estimating the fair value of similar issues.
17
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
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 September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. 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 September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

11. SECOND STEP CONVERSION
On August 20, 2008, the Boards of Directors of the Company, OC Financial MHC and the Bank adopted a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Bank will reorganize from the mutual holding company structure to the stock holding company structure. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, shares of the Company’s common stock held by persons other than OC Financial MHC will be converted into shares of a new New Jersey corporation pursuant to an exchange ratio designed to preserve their aggregate percentage ownership interest. The new New Jersey holding company will offer shares of its common stock for sale to the Bank’s eligible account holders, to the Bank’s tax-qualified employee benefit plans and to members of the general public in a subscription and community offering in the manner, and subject to the priorities, set forth in the Plan. The transactions contemplated by the Plan of Conversion were conditionally approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision on November 12, 2008 and were approved by the shareholders of the Company and members of OC Financial MHC on January 8, 2009. If the conversion and offering are completed, conversion costs will be netted against the offering proceeds. If the conversion and offering are terminated, such costs will be expensed. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had incurred approximately $1,517,187 of conversion costs. The Company received an updated appraisal dated October 9, 2009 and has filed an updated prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company intends to commence a resolicitation of subscribers in its subscription offering and to conduct a direct community offering and syndicated community offering in mid November 2009. The Plan will terminate on January 8, 2011 if the Company has not completed the conversion by that date.

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 (the “Bank”). Ocean Shore Holding’s business activity is the ownership of the outstanding capital stock of Ocean City Home Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including the consolidated financial statements and related financial data, relates primarily to the Bank.
The 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.
MARKET OVERVIEW
The continued turbulence in the economy and the current financial crisis, including the housing-related credit decline and the capital markets liquidity crisis that has affected the liquidity and valuation of many investment vehicles, remains a concern for the Company. Economic conditions deteriorated into a recession during 2008 which has continued into 2009. One of the primary concerns for the Company is the slump in the housing market. While the South Jersey area has not suffered wholesale declines in the value of residential real estate as have other areas of the country, this downturn has rippled through many parts of the economy, including construction lending and lending to contractors. Such conditions increase our exposure to the risk of non-performance in our construction and commercial loan portfolios. The Company continues to focus on the credit quality of its customers – closely monitoring the financial status of borrowers throughout the Company’s markets, gathering information, working on early detection of potential problems, taking pre-emptive steps where necessary and doing the analysis required to maintain adequate reserves. This decline in real estate market values has also led to increases in our allowance for loan losses and loan loss provision.
The decline in real estate market values has caused illiquidity in the financial markets, which has led to the devaluation of certain corporate securities. The Company continues to be impacted by continued pressure in the capital markets with respect to the value of our corporate securities and collateralized debt obligations. Deterioration in the fair value of certain securities due to underlying credit problems has resulted in the occurrence of other -than -temporary impairment charges.
Despite the current market conditions, the Company continues to maintain a strong capital position and increase its earnings. The Company is also pursuing a second step offering as discussed in the footnotes.

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 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 only included in average balances. 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 $491,000 and $895,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $114,000 and $273,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increased provision was primarily to maintain a reserve level deemed appropriate by management in light of factors such as the level of non-performing loans, growth in the loan portfolio and the current economic environment.

Income Taxes
Income taxes increased $483,000 to $805,000 for an effective tax rate of 38.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $322,000 for an effective tax rate of 48.5% for the same period in 2008. The increase in income taxes was a result of higher taxable income in 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.
Income taxes increased $300,000 to $1.8 million for an effective tax rate of 38.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $1.5 million for an effective tax rate of 40.7% for the same period in 2008. The increase in income taxes was a result of was the result higher taxable income in 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.
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.
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, 2009, cash and cash equivalents totaled $16.5 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale whose market value exceeds our cost, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $24.5 million at September 30, 2009. In addition, at September 30, 2009, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $241.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, which included available overnight lines of credit of $48.5 million. On that date, we had $7.9 million in overnight advances outstanding.
27
At September 30, 2009, we had $53.5 million in loan commitments outstanding, which included $15.6 million in undisbursed loans, $24.9 million in unused home equity lines of credit and $13.0 million in commercial letters and lines of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year of September 30, 2009 totaled $155.1 million, or 72.0% 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, 2009, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible capital of $68.4 million, or 9.32% of total adjusted assets, which is above the required level of $11.0 million or 1.5%; core capital of $68.4 million, or 9.32% of total adjusted assets, which is above the required level of $29.4 million or 4.0%; and risk-based capital of $71.4 million, or 16.34% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $35.0 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.
| | | | | | |
| | June 30, 2009 Percentage Change in Estimated Net Interest Income Over | |
| | 12 Months | | | 24 Months | |
200 basis point increase in rates | | (7.14 | )% | | (4.14 | )% |
100 basis point decrease in rates | | N/M | | | N/M | |
The 200 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 periods if rates rose by 200 basis points. The 100 basis point decrease is not measurable as a result of the 0.00% to 0.25% target federal funds rate established by the Federal Reserve Board.
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 50 to 300 basis point increase or a sustained 50 to 100 basis point 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, 2009 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 months ended September 30, 2009, 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.
