Press Release

Ocean Shore Holding Co. Reports 1st Quarter 2010 Earnings

Ocean City, New Jersey - April 27, 2010 – Ocean Shore Holding Co. (NASDAQ: OSHC) today announced net income of $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. This represents a 46.4% increase over the $913,000 earned in the first quarter of 2009. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.20, compared to $0.13 in the same period last year. Results of the first quarter of 2009 reflect the impact of other-than-temporary impairment charges of $303,000 (net of tax) compared to no impairment activity in the first quarter of 2010.

Ocean Shore Holding Co. (the “Company”) is the holding company for Ocean City Home Bank (the “Bank”), a federal savings bank headquartered in Ocean City, New Jersey. The Bank operates a total of ten full-service banking offices in eastern New Jersey.

“We are proud to report growth in net income and earnings per share for the first quarter of 2010,” said Steven E. Brady, President and CEO. “We have worked hard to build a strong and stable franchise, and we are pleased to see the results of this effort during the current economic environment.”

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets grew $11.1 million, or 1.4%, to $781.2 million at March 31, 2010 from December 31, 2009. Loans receivable, net, grew $2.7 million, or 0.4%, to $666.3 million, while investment and mortgage-backed securities declined $1.9 million, or 6.3%, to $27.6 million during the first quarter of 2010. Cash and cash equivalents grew $9.0 million, or 27.4%, to $42.1 million at March 31, 2010 from December 31, 2009. Growth in the loan portfolio included increases in real estate construction loans of $4.7 million and consumer loans of $654,000 offset by decreases in real estate mortgage loans of $2.1 million and commercial loans of $467,000. The decrease in investments and mortgage-backed securities resulted from normal maturity and repayment activity. Cash and cash equivalents growth resulted from increased deposit activity.

Deposits grew $9.6 million, or 1.8%, to $547.0 million at March 31, 2010 from December 31, 2009. The Company continued its focus on core deposits, which increased $8.7 million, or 2.7%, to $332.1 million. Certificates of deposit increased $838,000, or 0.4%, to $214.9 million at March 31, 2010 compared to year-ended 2009. Total borrowings were unchanged at $125.5 million for the quarter-ended March 31, 2010.

Asset Quality

Non-performing assets increased $635,000, or 32.7%, to $2.6 million at March 31, 2010 from December 31, 2009 resulting from an increase in the number of non-performing loans from 13 at December 31, 2009 to 14 at March 31, 2010. Non-performing loans totaled 0.37% of total loans at March 31, 2010 compared to 0.28% at December 31, 2009. The allowance for loan losses was 0.54% of total loans at March 31, 2010 compared to 0.52% at December 31, 2009 and 0.46% of total loans at March 31, 2009. The Company experienced $26,000 in charge-off activity for the first quarter of 2010 compared to no activity during the same period in 2009.

Income Statement Analysis

Net interest income increased $830,000, or 16.1%, to $6.0 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2009. Net interest margin increased 4 basis points in the quarter ended March 2010 to 3.46% versus 3.42% for the quarter ended December 2009 and 25 basis points from 3.21% for the quarter ended March 2009. The growth in net interest income in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 was the result of an increase in average interest-earning assets of $50.2 million and a decrease of 45 basis points in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 2.26%. These changes were offset by an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $56.4 million and a decrease of 11 basis points in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.49%.

Other income increased $606,000 to $807,000 for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $201,000 in the first quarter of 2009. Excluding the effect of other than temporary impairment charges of $486,000 recorded in the first quarter of 2009, other income increased $120,000, or 16.5%, over the prior year. The increases in other income resulted from increases in deposit account fees, cash surrender value of life insurance and debit card commissions over the prior period.

Other expenses increased $712,000, or 19.0%, to $4.5 million during the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009. The increases were due to the opening of the Company’s tenth branch office in the fourth quarter of 2009 and increases in FDIC insurance, marketing, salary and computer processing related expenses and decreases in qualified deferred costs associated with closed loans.
