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, 2009. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 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 July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. This guidance requires disclosure on a disaggregated basis at two levels, portfolio segments and classes of financing receivables. This guidance also requires a roll forward schedule of the allowance for loan losses on a portfolio segment basis, with the ending balance further disaggregated on the basis of the impairment method, the related recorded investment in financing receivables, the nonaccrual status of financing receivables by class, and impaired financing receivables by class. Additional disclosures are required that relate to the credit quality indicators of financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by class of financing receivables, the aging of past due financing receivables, the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings and their effect on the allowance for loan losses, the nature and extent of financing receivables modified as troubled debt restructurings within the previous 12 months that defaulted during the reporting period by class of financing receivables and their effect on the allowance for credit losses, and significant purchases and sales of financing receivables during the period disaggregated by portfolio segment. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods that begin on or after December 15, 2010. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the new guidance on its required disclosures.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This guidance removes the requirement for a SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of GAAP. FASB ASU 2010-09 is intended to

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

remove potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature and all of its amendments are effective upon issuance, except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors, which will be effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company adopted the new guidance, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This guidance requires: (1) disclosure of the significant amount transferred in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the reasons for the transfers; and (2) separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). In addition, FASB ASU 2010-06 clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures set forth in FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: (1) For purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and (2) a reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2011, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the new guidance, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

As of September 30, 2010, management has concluded that the unrealized losses on its investment securities (which totaled 6 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 September 30, 2010. 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, 2010 and 2009:

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 September 30, 2010, one corporate debt security and four single issuer trust preferred securities had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer, and had not experienced any other-than-temporary impairment in the past. Those securities had aggregate depreciation of 25.01% 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 September 30, 2010, 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 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”). 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. At September 30, 2010, all agency mortgage-backed securities were in a gain position.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities available for sale at September 30, 2010 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 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 September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, 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.

The Company established a provision for loan losses of $124,705 and $816,066 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $490,500 and $894,500 for the comparable periods in 2009.

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired was as follows:

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, net of any treasury shares, while diluted net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, net of any treasury shares, after consideration of the potential dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, based upon the treasury stock method using an average market price for the period, and impact of unallocated Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) shares. Earnings per share (“EPS”) and average common shares outstanding for the periods prior to 2010 have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the second-step conversion and reorganization of the Company, which occurred on December 18, 2009.

6. 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 Plans, 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.

7. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes increased $745,000 to $2.5 million for an effective tax rate of 38.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1.8 million for an effective tax rate of 38.1% for the same period in 2009.

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 carry forward 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 earnings 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 September 30, 2010, 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 September 30, 2010, the tax years ended December 31, 2007 through 2009 were subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), while the tax years ended December 31, 2006 through 2009 were subject to state examination. As of September 30, 2010, 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 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per share, which was paid on or about August 27, 2010 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 6, 2010.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company accounts for fair value measurements in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The topic emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and 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. FASB ASC 820 clarifies the application of fair value measurement in a market that is not active. FASB ASC 820 also 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 are not orderly unless proven otherwise, and requires an entity to disclose inputs and valuation techniques, and changes therein, used to measure fair value.

FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the instrument’s fair value measurement. The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

 

   

Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

14


Table of Contents

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

 

   

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

   

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.

We measure financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC 820. Investments available for sale are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by means of various valuation techniques and models, and the inputs used are classified based on the hierarchy outlined above. Where quoted prices for identical securities are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows based on observable market inputs and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 3 market value measurements include an internally developed discounted cash flow model combined with using market data points of similar securities with comparable credit ratings in addition to market yield curves with similar maturities in determining the discount rate. In addition, significant estimates and unobservable inputs are required in the determination of Level 3 market value measurements. If actual results differ significantly from the estimates and inputs applied, it could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In addition, 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). We measure impaired loans, FHLB stock and loans transferred into other real estate owned at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

We review and validate the valuation techniques and models utilized for measuring financial assets and liabilities at least quarterly.

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.

Additionally, as a result of general market conditions and the illiquidity in the market for certain collateralized debt obligations, valuation is 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.

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 FASB ASC 310, collateral dependent impaired loans are valued based on the fair value of the collateral adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of such collateral. The fair value of each loan’s collateral is generally based on estimated market prices from an independently prepared appraisal, such valuation inputs result in a nonrecurring fair value measurement that is categorized as a Level 2 measurement. When adjustments are made to an appraised value to reflect various factors such as the age of the appraisal or known changes in the market or the collateral, such valuation inputs are considered unobservable and the

fair value measurement is categorized as a Level 3 measurement. The impaired loans categorized as Level 3 also include unsecured loans and other secured loans whose fair values are based significantly on unobservable inputs such as the strength of a guarantor, cash flows discounted at the effective loan rate, and management’s judgment.

In the current period there were ten loans categorized as level 2 and nine loans categorized as Level 3. At September 30, 2010, total loans remeasured at fair value were $1,962,230. Such loans were carried at the value of $2,448,884 immediately prior to remeasurement, resulting in the recognition of impairment through earnings in the amount of $486,654. Specific reserves were calculated for impaired loans with the value prior to remeasurement of $1,679,727 and net carrying amount of $1,193,073. The collateral underlying these loans had a fair value of $2,069,000, while the claims against collateral from other third parties, shortfall in collateral to appraised amount and liquidation costs amounted to $875,927, resulting in specific reserves in the allowance for loan losses of $486,654. No specific reserve was calculated for impaired loans with an aggregate carrying amount of $769,157 at September 30, 2010, as the underlying collateral value was not below the carrying amount.

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 the Federal Home Loan Bank. 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 has been categorized as a Level 2 or 3, depending on such inputs used. At September 30, 2010 and 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 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. The fair value of foreclosed real estate is generally based on estimated market prices from independently prepared current appraisals or negotiated sales prices with potential buyers; such valuation inputs result in a fair value measurement that is categorized as a Level 2 measurement on a nonrecurring basis. When a current appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value as a result of known changes in the market or the collateral and there is no observable market price, such valuation inputs result in a fair value measurement that is categorized as a Level 3 measurement. To the extent a negotiated sales price or reduced listing price represents a significant discount to an observable market price, such valuation input would result in a fair value measurement that is also considered a Level 3 measurement. The losses on foreclosed real estate shown above are write-downs based on either a recent appraisal obtained after foreclosure or an accepted purchase offer by an independent third party received after foreclosure.

At September 30, 2010, the Company did not have any remeasurement to fair value to its foreclosed real estate and repossessed assets since the original recording. At September 30, 2009, the Company deemed one loan uncollectible and took possession of the underlying 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 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, 2010. 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.

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. 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, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

This Quarterly Report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are not historical facts, but rather are statements based on Ocean Shore Holding Company’s current expectations regarding its business strategies and their intended results and its future performance. Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends” and similar expressions.

Management’s ability to predict results or the effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, changes in the interest rate environment, legislative or regulatory changes that may adversely affect our business, changes in accounting policies and practices, changes in competition and demand for financial services, adverse changes in the securities markets and changes in the quality or composition of the Company’s loan or investment portfolios. Additional factors that may affect our results are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

GENERAL

Ocean Shore Holding Co. (“Ocean Shore Holding” or the “Company”) was incorporated on September 2, 2008 as a New Jersey corporation to become the holding company for Ocean City Home Bank (the “Bank”) upon completion of the conversion of Ocean City Home Bank from the mutual holding company form of organization to the stock holding company form. The conversion involved the sale by the Company of 4,186,250 shares of common stock in a public offering to depositors and members of the general public, the exchange of 3,121,868 shares of common stock of the Company for shares of common stock of the former Ocean Shore Holding Co. held by persons other than OC Financial MHC, and the elimination of the former Ocean Shore Holding Co. and OC Financial MHC. The conversion and related stock offering were completed on December 18, 2009. Each share of common stock of Ocean Shore Holding Co. was converted into the right to receive 0.8793 shares of common stock in the conversion. The Company’s assets consist of its investment in Ocean City Home Bank and its liquid investments. The Company is primarily engaged in the business of directing, planning, and coordinating the business activities of the Bank. The Company’s most significant asset is its investment in the Bank. In the future, Ocean Shore Holding may acquire or organize other operating subsidiaries; however, there are no current definitive agreements or understandings to do so.

Ocean City Home Bank is a federally chartered savings bank. The Bank operates as a community-oriented financial institution offering a wide range of financial services to consumers and businesses in our market area. The Bank attracts deposits from the general public, small businesses and municipalities and uses those funds to originate a variety of consumer and commercial loans, which we hold primarily for investment.

Non-performing assets totaled $4.1 million, or 0.48% of total assets, at September 30, 2010 compared to $1.9 million, or 0.25% of total assets, at December 31, 2009 and $2.7 million, or 0.36% of total assets, at September 30, 2009. The increase from December 31, 2009 was the result of an increase in the number of non-performing loans to twenty at September 30, 2010 from thirteen at December 31, 2009. Non-performing assets consisted of eleven residential mortgages totaling $3.1 million, two commercial mortgages totaling $538,000, three commercial loans totaling $163,000, four consumer equity loans totaling $147,000 and one real estate owned property totaling $98,000.

The allowance for loan losses increased $506,000 to $4.0 million, or 0.59% of total net loans, from $3.5 million at December 31, 2009, or 0.52% 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 September 2010 from December 31, 2009 were slightly higher due to increases in delinquencies and charge-offs. At September 30, 2010, the specific allowance on loans individually evaluated for impairment was $487,000 and pooled allowance on the remainder of the loan portfolio was $3.5 million as compared to specific allowance on loans individually evaluated for impairment of $285,000 and pooled allowance on the reminder of the loan portfolio of $3.2 million at December 31, 2009.

Stockholders’ Equity

Interest income decreased by $55,000, or 0.6%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to September 30, 2009. The decrease resulted from lower investment income of $90,000 offset by an increase in loan income of $35,000. The decreased interest income was driven primarily from lower investment balances and lower yield on loans offset by higher loan balances in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the same quarter in 2009.

Interest expense decreased by $239,000, or 6.4%, over the same period last year due to lower interest paid on deposits of $231,000. The decrease in interest expense resulted primarily from lower rates paid on deposits, as market rates continued to remain low, offset by increased balances in deposits.

The interest rate spread and net interest margin of the Company were 3.28% and 3.39% respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to 3.12% and 3.40% for the same period in 2009. The improvement in the interest rate spread of 16 basis points and decrease in margin of 1 basis points resulted from a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 36 basis points offset by a decrease in the rate earned on interest-earning assets of 21 basis points. An increase in the average balance of loans of $26.8 million was offset by decreases in the average rate on loans of 20 basis points, average rate on investments of 11 basis points and average balance of investments of $4.8 million. Additionally, decreases in the average rate paid on interest-bearing bearing deposits of 40 basis points and average balance on borrowings of $6.2 million was offset by increases in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $64.8 million and the average rate paid on borrowings of 20 basis points.

Interest income increased by $807,000, or 2.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to September 30, 2009. The increase resulted from an increase in loan income of $1.1 million, offset by a decrease in investment income of $263,000.

Interest expense decreased by $880,000, or 7.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to September 30, 2009 due to a decrease in the interest paid on deposits of $822,000 and interest paid on borrowings of $58,000. The decrease in interest expense resulted primarily from lower rates paid on deposits, as market rates continued to remain low, offset by increased balances in deposits.

Table of Contents

 

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 $125,000 and $816,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $491,000 and $895,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. 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. The specific reserve component of the provision was $27,000 and $503,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased $87,000 to $892,000 for an effective tax rate of 38.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $805,000 for an effective tax rate of 38.0% from the same period in 2009. The increase was the result of higher taxable income.

Income taxes increased $745,000 to $2.5 million for an effective tax rate of 38.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $1.8 million for an effective tax rate of 38.1% from the same period in 2009. The increase was a result of higher taxable income.

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, 2010, cash and cash equivalents totaled $98.4 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale whose market value exceeds our cost, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $16.2 million at September 30, 2010. In addition, at September 30, 2010, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $247.9 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.

At September 30, 2010, we had $60.0 million in loan commitments outstanding, which included $20.9 million in undisbursed loans, $24.8 million in unused home equity lines of credit and $14.3 million in commercial lines and letters of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year of September 30, 2010 totaled $140.0 million, or 64.8% 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, 2010, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible capital of $84.8 million, or 10.25% of total adjusted assets, which is above the required level of $12.4 million or 1.5%; core capital of $84.8 million, or 10.25% of total adjusted assets which is above the required level of $33.1 million or 4.0%; and risk-based capital of $88.3 million, or 19.67% 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 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.

 

31


Table of Contents

 

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 June 30, 2010
Percentage Change in Estimated
Net Interest Income Over
 
     12 Months     24 Months  

200 basis point increase in rates

     (1.67 )%      1.67

100 basis point decrease in rates

     (11.88 )%      (21.99 )% 

The 200 and 100 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 if rates rose by 200 basis points. In addition, if rates declined by 100 basis points net interest income would be adversely affected (within our internal guidelines) in both the 12- and 24-month periods.

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, 2010 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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 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.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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 September 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Periodically, there have been various claims and lawsuits against us, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings on properties in which we hold security interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans and other issues incident to our business. We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following supplements the risk factors discussed in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K:

Recently enacted regulatory reform may have a material impact on our operations.

On July 21, 2010, the President signed into law The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). The Dodd-Frank Act restructures the regulation of depository institutions. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Office of Thrift Supervision will be merged into the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which regulates national banks. Savings and loan holding companies will be regulated by the Federal Reserve Board. The Dodd-Frank Act contains various provisions designed to enhance the regulation of depository institutions and prevent the recurrence of a financial crisis such as occurred in 2008-2009. Also included is the creation of a new federal agency to administer and enforce consumer and fair lending laws, a function that is now performed by the depository institution regulators. The federal preemption of state laws currently accorded federally chartered depository institutions will be reduced as well. The Dodd-Frank Act also will impose consolidated capital requirements on savings and loan holding companies effective in five years, which will limit our ability to borrow at the holding company and invest the proceeds from such borrowings as capital in Ocean City Home Bank that could be leveraged to support additional growth. The full impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on our business and operations will not be known for years until regulations implementing the statute are written and adopted. The Dodd-Frank Act may have a material impact on our operations, particularly through increased compliance costs resulting from possible future consumer and fair lending regulations.
