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, 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, 2010.  The results for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 or any other period.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements - The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period.  The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to the allowance for loan losses, deferred income taxes and the fair value measurement for investment securities available for sale.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  This update to comprehensive income guidance requires all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements.  In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income.  This update also requires additional changes to the face of the financial statements including eliminating the presentation of other comprehensive income as a part of stockholders’ equity, and the presentation of certain reclassification adjustments between net income and other comprehensive income.  The new accounting guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2012, and should be applied retrospectively.  The adoption of this update will impact the presentation and disclosure of the Company’s financial statements but will not impact its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.  This update to fair value measurement guidance addresses changes to concepts regarding performing fair value measurements including: (i) the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise; (ii) the valuation of an instrument classified in the reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity; (iii) the valuation of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio; and (iv) the application of premiums and discounts.  This update also enhances disclosure requirements about fair value measurements, including providing information regarding Level 3 measurements such as quantitative information about unobservable inputs, further discussion of the valuation processes used and assumption sensitivity analysis.  The new accounting guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2012, and should be applied prospectively.  The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this update will have a material impact on its financial statements.

 
4

 
 
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.  This new guidance requires a creditor performing an evaluation of whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, to separately conclude that both (i) the restructuring constitutes a concession and (ii) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.  This standard clarifies the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession as well as the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.  The updated accounting guidance also requires entities to disclose additional quantitative activity regarding troubled debt restructurings of finance receivables that occurred during the period, as well as additional information regarding troubled debt restructurings that occurred within the previous twelve months and for which there was a payment default during the current period. The new accounting guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption.  The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this accounting guidance will have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2011, management has concluded that the unrealized losses on its investment securities, which totaled eight individual securities, are temporary in nature since there currently is no indication that the entire amortized cost basis of these securities will not be recovered, the Company does not intend to sell these investments, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments, before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity.

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. During the second quarter of 2009 the Company recognized the impairment for the entire carrying amount of these investments.  Below is a roll forward of the anticipated credit losses on securities for which the Company has recorded other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges through earnings and other comprehensive income.

These securities have Fitch credit ratings below investment grade at June 30, 2011.  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 June 30, 2011 and 2010:

Corporate Debt Securities - The Company’s investments in the preceding table in corporate debt securities consist of corporate debt securities issued by large financial institutions and single issuer and pooled trust preferred/collateralized debt obligations backed by bank trust preferred capital securities.

At June 30, 2011, one corporate debt security and two single issuer trust preferred securities had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer.  Those securities had aggregate depreciation of 23% from the Company’s amortized cost basis.  The decline is primarily attributable to depressed pricing of two private placement single issuer trust preferred securities.  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 increased credit spread and a lack of liquidity currently in the financial markets for these types of investments.  These securities were performing in accordance with their contractual terms as of June 30, 2011, and had paid all contractual cash flows since the Company’s initial investment.  Management believes these unrealized losses are not other-than-temporary based upon the Company’s analysis that the securities will perform in accordance with their terms and the Company’s intent not to sell these investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for the anticipated recovery of fair value, which may be maturity.  The Company expects recovery of fair value when market conditions have stabilized and that the Company will receive all contractual principal and interest payments related to those investments.

United States Treasury, US Federal Agencies and Government Sponsored Enterprise Mortgage-backed Securities - The Company’s investments in the preceding table 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 June 30, 2011 the Company had no agency mortgage-backed securities with unrealized losses for 12 months or longer.
 
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at June 30, 2011 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 $128,035 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $539,700 for the comparable period in 2010.  The allowance for loan losses is based upon past loan loss experiences, understanding of the current macroeconomic factors, and current portfolio trends. These factors are considered in establishing the reserves necessary to cover the losses inherent in the current loan portfolio. The allowance is comprised of collective reserves for portfolio loans evaluated on a pooled basis and specific reserves on loans specifically evaluated for impairment. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. An insignificant delay or insignificant shortfall in amount of payments does not necessarily result in the loan being identified as impaired. For this purpose, delays less than 90 days generally are considered to be insignificant. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the impairment was measured based on the fair value of the loans’ collateral, adjusted for cost to dispose. Loans collectively evaluated for impairment include residential real estate loans, consumer loans, and smaller balance commercial and commercial real estate loans.

Federal regulations require us to review and classify our assets on a regular basis.  In addition, federal banking regulators have the authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, require them to be classified.  There are three classifications for problem assets:  substandard, doubtful and loss.  “Substandard assets” must have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  “Doubtful assets” have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss.  An asset classified as “loss” is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted.  The regulations also provide for a “special mention” category, described as assets which do not currently expose us to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving our close attention.  When we classify an asset as substandard or doubtful we establish a specific allowance for loan losses.  If we classify an asset as loss, we charge off an amount equal to 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with FASB 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. 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 FASB 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.  

The Company’s 2005 and 2010 Equity-Based Incentive Plans (the “Equity Plans”) 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 Plans is to attract and retain personnel for positions of substantial responsibility and to provide additional incentive 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 then fair market value of the Company’s stock.

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock options under the Equity Plans as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are presented below:

As of June 30, 2011, there was $839,251 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested stock awards.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.1 years.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense was $1,769,671 for an effective tax rate of 42.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $1,632,887 for an effective tax rate of 38.8% for the same period in 2010.

Periodic reviews of the carrying amount of deferred tax assets are made to determine if the establishment of a valuation allowance is necessary. If based on the available evidence in future periods, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized, a deferred tax valuation allowance would be established. Consideration is given to all positive and negative evidence related to the realization of the deferred tax assets.

Items considered in this evaluation include historical financial performance, expectation of future earnings, the ability to carry back losses to recoup taxes previously paid, length of statutory carryforward periods, experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring unused, tax planning strategies and timing of reversals of temporary differences. Significant judgment is required in assessing future earning trends and the timing of reversals of temporary differences. The evaluation is based on current tax laws as well as expectations of future performance. At June 30, 2011, no valuation allowance has been recorded for any portfolio of the outstanding deferred tax asset.

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 June 30, 2011, the tax years ended December 31, 2007 through 2010 were subject to examination by all tax jurisdictions.  As of June 30, 2011, 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.

DECLARATION OF DIVIDEND

During the second quarter of 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per share, which was paid on May 27, 2011 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 6, 2011.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company accounts for fair value measurement in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.  FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  FASB ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements. The definition of fair value retains the exchange price notion in earlier definitions of fair value. FASB ASC 820 clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability. The definition focuses on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability (an exit price), not the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability (an entry price). FASB ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.  FASB ASC 820 also clarifies the application of fair value measurement in a market that is not active.

FASB ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

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

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

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

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.

In 2008, as a result of general market conditions and the illiquidity in the market for CDOs, management deemed it necessary to shift its market value measurement of each of the securities from quoted prices for similar assets (Level 2) to an internally developed discounted cash flow model (Level 3).  In arriving at the discount rate used in the model for each issue, the Company determined a trading group of similar securities quoted on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ over the counter 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 CDOs 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.

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.  Fair value for these 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.

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements:

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, FHLB stock and loans or bank properties transferred into other real estate owned at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

The Company considers a loan 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 FASB ASC 310, 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. 

Specific reserves were calculated for impaired loans with an aggregate carrying amount of $1,551,198 and $1,821,916 at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The collateral underlying these loans had a fair value of $1,540,000 and $3,010,000, while the claims against collateral from other third parties, shortfall in collateral to appraised amount and liquidation costs amounted to $738,631 and $1,912,172, at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  This resulted in specific reserves in the allowance for loan losses of $749,828 and $724,888 at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. There were charge-offs of $122,946 and $42,987 for impaired loans with specific reserves during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. No specific reserve was calculated for impaired loans with an aggregate carrying amount of $4,384,125 and $769,157 at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as the underlying collateral was not below the carrying amount.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The Company holds required equity investments in the stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank (the “FHLB”).  Investment in the FHLB stock is evaluated for impairment in accordance FASB ASC 942-325. These investments may be measured based upon a discounted cash flow model reliant on observable and unobservable inputs, and therefore, the fair value measurement may be categorized as a Level 2 or 3, depending on such inputs used. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 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 required.
 
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 June 30, 2011, the Company did not have any remeasurement to fair value to its foreclosed real estate and repossessed assets since the original recording.  At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Company had one foreclosed property.  The Company took possession of the collateral during the first quarter of 2009.  The collateral underlying the loan had a fair value of $97,500, with an aggregate carrying value of $198,000, triggering a net charge-off of approximately $101,000. There have been no changes to the fair value of this property as described above.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
In accordance with FASB ASC 825-10-50-10, 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.  The following table summarizes these results:

Cash and Cash EquivalentsFor cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment and Mortgage-Backed SecuritiesFor 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 - NetThe 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 StockAlthough 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 June 30, 2011.  The estimated fair value approximates the carrying amount.

NOW and Other Demand Deposit, Passbook Savings and Club, and Certificates AccountsThe 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 FHLBThe fair value was estimated by determining the cost or benefit for early termination of each individual borrowing.

Junior Subordinated DebentureThe fair value was estimated by discounting approximate cash flows of the borrowings by yields estimating the fair value of similar issues.

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  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 June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets totaled $6.0 million, or 0.90% of total assets, at June 30, 2011 compared to $5.3 million or 0.63% of total assets at December 31, 2010 and $3.3 million, or 0.41% of total assets, at June 30, 2010.  The increase from December 31, 2010 was the result of a higher balance non-performing loan replacing a lower balance non-performing loan.  Non-performing assets consisted of thirteen residential mortgages totaling $5.3 million, two commercial mortgages totaling $329 thousand, five commercial loans totaling $204 thousand, two consumer equity loans totaling $116 thousand and one real estate owned property totaling $98 thousand.  Specific reserves were recorded for fourteen of the loans included above in the amount of $750 thousand at June 30, 2011 as compared to eleven loans with specific reserves of $482 thousand at December 31, 2010. Real estate owned remained unchanged at $98 thousand at June 30, 2011.  Charge-offs totaled $123 thousand in 2011 compared to $43 thousand for the same period in 2010.

The allowance for loan losses increased $100 thousand to $4.1 million, or 0.61% of total net loans, from $4.0 million at December 31, 2010, or 0.60% of total net loans.  The increase in the provision for loan losses 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 conditions.  The loss factors used to calculate the allowance in June 2011 from December 31, 2010 were slightly higher due to increases in delinquencies.  At June 30, 2011, the specific allowance on loans individually evaluated for impairment was $750 thousand and pooled allowance on the remainder of the loan portfolio was $3.3 million as compared to specific allowance on loans individually evaluated for impairment of $482 thousand and pooled allowance on the reminder of the loan portfolio of $3.5 million at December 31, 2010.

Interest income decreased by $327 thousand, or 3.4%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010.  The decrease resulted from a decrease in the average balance of loans of $7.0 million and the average rate earned on earning assets of 27 basis points, offset by an increase in the average balance of investments of $18.1 million.
 
Interest expense decreased by $437 thousand, or 12.7%, over the same period last year due to a decrease in interest paid on deposits.  The decrease in interest expense resulted from a decrease in the rate paid on deposits offset by increased balances of deposits.

The interest rate spread and net interest margin of the Company were 3.47% and 3.49% respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 3.28% and 3.48% for the same period in 2010.  The increase in the interest rate spread of 19 basis points and margin of one basis points resulted from a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 46 basis points offset by a decrease in the rate earned on interest-earning assets of 27 basis points.  The decrease in cost of interest bearing liabilities resulted from a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits of 48 basis points offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $67.6 million.  The decrease in rate on interest earnings assets resulted from a decrease in the average balance loans of $7.0 million, a decrease in the average rate on loans of 20 basis points and a decrease in the average rate on investments of 164 basis points offset by an increase in the average balance of investments of $18.1 million.

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 $128 thousand and $203 thousand in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $540 thousand and $691 thousand in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.  The 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.

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 June 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $105.0 million.  Securities classified as available-for-sale whose market value exceeds our cost, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $39.3 million at June 30, 2011.  In addition, at June 30, 2011, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $230.6 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.

At June 30, 2011, we had $56.2 million in loan commitments outstanding, which included $14.9 million in undisbursed loans, $24.1 million in unused home equity lines of credit and $17.2 million in commercial lines and letters of credit.  Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2011 totaled $122.6 million, or 61.4% of certificates of deposit.  We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us.  We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

At June 30, 2011, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible capital of $87.7 million, or 10.31% of total adjusted assets, which is above the required level of $12.8 million or 1.5%; core capital of $87.7 million, or 10.31% of total adjusted assets which is above the required level of $34.0 million or 4.0%; and risk-based capital of $91.0 million, or 20.29% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $35.9 million or 8.0%.  The Bank is considered a “well-capitalized” institution under the applicable 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 the Company:

   
At March 31, 2011
Percentage Change in Estimated
Net Interest Income Over
 
   
12 Months
   
24 Months
 
       
200 basis point increase in rates
    10.91 %     18.33 %
100 basis point decrease in rates
    N/A       N/A  

The 200 and 100 basis point change in rates in the above table is assumed to occur evenly over the following 12 and and 24-month periods.  Based on the scenario above, net interest income would be positively affected (within our internal guidelines) in the 12-month and 24-month periods if rates rose by 200 basis points. In addition, a decline in rates by 100 basis points in both the 12- and 24-month periods has been determined by management as not possible and therefore deemed not measurable.

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 March 31, 2011 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 and six ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The information required by this item is included in Item 2 of this report under “Market Risk Management.”

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
