See accompanying notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements. 4 OceanFirst Financial Corp. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ---------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Basis of Presentation ----------------------------- The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OceanFirst Financial Corp. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, OceanFirst Bank (the "Bank") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Columbia Equities, Ltd., OceanFirst Realty Inc. and Ocean Investment Services, Inc. The interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for all of 2001. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. Note 2. Earnings per Share --------------------------- The following reconciles shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 (in thousands):

Note 3. Comprehensive Income ----------------------------- For the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 total comprehensive income, representing net income plus or minus items recorded directly in equity, such as the change in unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale amounted to $6,126,000 and $2,237,000, respectively. Note 4. Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements -------------------------------------------------- In June 2000, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 138 "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an Amendment to FASB Statement No. 133". SFAS No. 138 amends certain aspects of SFAS No. 133 to simplify the accounting for derivatives and hedges under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 138 is effective upon the company's adoption of SFAS No. 133 (January 1, 2001). The initial adoption of SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (A Replacement of FASB Statement 125)." SFAS No. 140 supersedes and replaces the 5 guidance in SFAS No. 125 and, accordingly, provides guidance on the following topics: securitization transactions involving financial assets, sales of financial assets such as receivables, loans, and securities; factoring transactions; wash sales; servicing assets and liabilities, collateralized borrowing arrangements; securities lending transactions; repurchase agreements; loan collateralized borrowing arrangements; securities lending transactions; repurchase agreements; loan participations; and extinguishment of liabilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 140 are effective for transactions entered into after March 31, 2001. The initial adoption of SFAS No. 140 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. Note 5. Loans Receivable, Net ----------------------------- Loans receivable, net at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 consisted of the following (in thousands):

Note 6. Deposits ---------------- The major types of deposits at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 were as follows (in thousands): March 31, 2001 December 31, 2000 -------------- ----------------- Type of Account --------------- Non-interest bearing $ 57,029 $ 49,910 NOW 187,225 170,976 Money market deposit 69,006 71,010 Savings 169,675 165,866 Time deposits 637,038 646,426 ---------- ---------- $1,119,973 $1,104,188 ========== ========== Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial Condition Total assets at March 31, 2001 were $1.671 billion, an increase of $30.9 million, compared to $1.640 billion at December 31, 2000. Loans receivable, net, increased by $22.9 million to a balance of $1.160 billion at March 31, 2001, compared to a balance of $1.137 billion at December 31, 2000. The increase was partly attributable to commercial lending (including commercial real estate) initiatives which accounted for $6.3 million of this growth. Deposit balances increased $15.8 million to $1.120 6 billion at March 31, 2001 from $1.104 billion at December 31, 2000, as core deposit categories, a key emphasis for the Company, increased by $25.2 million as time deposits declined. Stockholder's equity at March 31, 2001 decreased to $155.3 million, compared to $157.7 million at December 31, 2000 due to the execution of the Company's eighth stock repurchase program. The Company repurchased, 402,100 shares of common stock during the first three months of 2001 at a total cost of $8.8 million. Under the 10% repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors in August 2000, 383,343 shares remain to be purchased as of March 31, 2001. Results of Operations General Net income decreased to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to net income of $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, while diluted earnings per share increased to $.40 for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to $.39 for the same prior year period. The increase in earnings per share is primarily the result of the Company's repurchase program, which reduced the number of shares outstanding. Interest Income Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $29.3 million, compared to $28.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase in interest income was due to an increase in average interest-earning assets of $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to the same prior year period. Additionally, the yield on average interest- earning assets increased to 7.54% on average for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to 7.34% on average in the same prior year period. The asset yield benefited from a change in the mix of average-earning assets towards a higher concentration of loans receivable partly funded by reductions in lower yielding investment and mortgage-backed securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2001 loans receivable represented 75.4% of average interest-earning assets as compared to 68.7% for the same prior year period. Interest Expense Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $16.6 million, compared to $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which rose to 4.70%, for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to 4.49% for the same prior year period, as well as an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities which rose by $34.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to the same prior year period. The Company's stock repurchase programs will generally cause interest-bearing liabilities to rise at a greater rate than interest-earning assets due to the reduction in stockholders' equity as a funding source. Provision for Loan Losses For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company's provision for loan losses was $255,000, as compared to $240,000 for the same prior year period. The Company's non-performing assets increased to $3.4 million at March 31, 2001, as compared to $3.1 million at March 31, 2000. Other Income Other income was $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to $1.3 million for the same prior year period. For the three months ended March 31, 2001 the Company recorded a gain of $1.1 million on the sale of loans, as compared to a gain of $60,000 in the same prior year period. The increased gain from loan sales is primarily due to the mortgage banking activities of Columbia Equities, Ltd. ("Columbia"), a mortgage banking company acquired by the Company on August 18, 2000. The Bank also periodically sells 30 year fixed-rate mortgage loans to assist in the management of interest rate risk. Excluding the respective net gains on the sale of loans, other income increased by $451,000, or 35.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to the same prior year period. Fees and service charges increased due to the growth in commercial account services, retail core account balances and trust fees. 7 Operating Expenses Operating expenses were $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to $7.2 million in the same prior year period. The increase was principally due to operating expenses associated with Columbia, and the costs associated with the opening of the Bank's fourteenth and fifteenth branch offices in May 2000 and February 2001, respectfully. Provision for Income Taxes Income tax expense was $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $2.2 million for the same prior year period. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and other borrowings and, to a lesser extent, investment maturities and proceeds from the sale of loans. While scheduled amortization of loans is a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises, including an overnight line of credit and advances from the FHLB. At March 31, 2001, the Company had $50.0 million of outstanding overnight borrowings from the FHLB, a decrease from $52.5 million at December 31, 2000. The Company utilizes the overnight line from time to time to fund short-term liquidity needs. The Company also had other borrowings of $330.0 million at March 31, 2001, an increase from $311.5 million at December 31, 2000. These borrowings were used to fund a wholesale leverage strategy designed to improve returns on invested capital. The Company's cash needs for the three months ended March 31, 2001, were primarily provided by principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, increased deposits and increased total borrowings. The cash was principally utilized for loan originations, the purchase of mortgage-backed securities and the purchase of treasury stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the cash needs of the Company were primarily satisfied by principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans held for sale and increased deposits. The cash provided was principally used for the origination of loans, a reduction in total borrowings and the purchase of treasury stock. At March 31, 2001, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible capital of $124.3 million, or 7.4%, of total adjusted assets, which is above the required level of $25.1 million or 1.5%; core capital of $ 124.3 million or 7.4% of total adjusted assets, which is above the required level of $50.2 million, or 3.0%; and risk-based capital of $133.5 million, or 14.1% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $75.6 million or 8.0%. The Bank is considered a "well capitalized" institution under the Office of Thrift Supervision's prompt corrective action regulations. 8 Non-Performing Assets The following table sets forth information regarding the Company's nonperforming assets consisting of non-accrual loans and Real Estate Owned (REO). It is the policy of the Company to cease accruing interest on loans 90 days or more past due or in the process of foreclosure. March 31, December 31, 2001 2000 -------- ----------- (dollars in thousands) Non-accrual loans: Real estate: One-to four-family $ 2,961 $ 2,594 Commercial real estate, multi-family and land - - Consumer 175 147 Commercial - 182 ------- ------- Total 3,136 2,923 REO, net 284 157 ------- ------- Total non-performing assets $ 3,420 $ 3,080 ======= ======= Non-performing loans as a percent of total loans receivable .26% .25% Non-performing assets as a percent of total assets .20 .19 Allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans receivable .78 .77 Allowance for loan losses as percent of total non-performing loans 298.41 312.62 In January 2001 the Bank downgraded a performing commercial loan with an outstanding balance of $2.4 million to the substandard classification as a result of weakened financial results. The borrower subsequently failed to make a quarterly principal and interest payment on March 30, 2001 and in April 2001 the Bank consequently downgraded 50% of the loan to the doubtful classification. The Bank holds a participation interest in a $125 million shared national credit which is secured by corporate assets and various commercial real estate properties. The Bank does not participate in any other shared national credits. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Safe Harbor Statement In addition to historical information, this quarterly report may include certain forward looking statements based on current management expectations. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those management expectations. Factors that could cause future results to vary from current management expectations include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, changes in tax policies, rates and regulations of federal and state tax authorities, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, the cost of funds, demand for loan products, demand for financial services, competition, changes in the quality or composition of the Bank's loan and investment portfolios, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, and other economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors affecting the Company's operations, markets, products, services and prices. Further description of the risks and uncertainties to the business are included in Item 1, Business, of the Company's 2000 Form 10-K. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk The Company's interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through the use of an interest rate risk (IRR) model. Based on internal IRR modeling the Company's one year gap at March 31, 2001 was negative 13.4% as compared to negative 10.8% at December 31, 2000. Additionally, the table below sets forth the Company's exposure to interest rate risk as measured by the change in net portfolio value ("NPV") and net interest income under varying rate shocks as of March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000. All methods used to measure interest rate sensitivity involve the use of assumptions, which may tend to oversimplify the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The 9 Company's interest rate sensitivity should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2000. At March 31, 2001, the Company's NPV in a static rate environment is less than the NPV at December 31, 2000, reflecting the Company's declining capital levels resulting from common stock repurchase programs and the lower interest rate environment which reduces the value of the Company's core deposits. Also, in a shocked interest rate environment, the Company projects a greater percent change in NPV at March 31, 2001 than was the case at December 31, 2000. The heightened interest rate sensitivity is primarily due to the declining capital base which accentuates, on a percentage basis, similar dollar changes in NPV.

10 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings ----------------- The Company is not engaged in any legal proceedings of a material nature at the present time.
