Press Release

Ocean Shore Holding Co. Reports 1st Quarter 2011 Earnings

Ocean City, New Jersey - April 26, 2011 – Ocean Shore Holding Co. (NASDAQ: OSHC) today announced net income of $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $1.3 million earned in the first quarter of 2010. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.18, compared to $0.20 in the same period last year. Results of the first quarter of 2011 reflect $89,000 (net of tax) of expenses related to the previously announced merger with CBCH Financialcorp, Inc. and its subsidiary Select Bank, which is expected to close the third quarter of 2011.

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 very pleased with our start to 2011,” said Steven E. Brady, President and CEO. “Assets grew at an annualized rate of over 10% and were funded by core deposits. Although non-performing assets ticked up a little, there were no charge-offs during the quarter. Net interest income remained steady compared to the prior year and was up slightly from the fourth quarter of 2010.”

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets grew $21.5 million, or 2.6%, to $861.4 million at March 31, 2011 from December 31, 2010. Loans receivable, net, was unchanged at $660.4 million, while investment and mortgage-backed securities increased $18.4 million, or 77.6%, to $42.1 million during the first quarter of 2011. Cash and cash equivalents grew $3.1 million, or 2.8%, to $114.0 million at March 31, 2011 from December 31, 2010. Loan originations and other advances totaling $34.7 million were offset by payoffs and payments received of $34.6 million resulting in no growth in the portfolio. The increase in investments and mortgage-backed securities resulted from new purchases of short term agency investments of $20.0 million offset by normal repayment and payoffs of $1.6 million. Cash and cash equivalents growth resulted from increased deposit activity.

Deposits grew $20.4 million, or 3.4%, to $623.7 million at March 31, 2011 from December 31, 2010. The Company continued its focus on core deposits, which increased $27.0 million, or 6.9%, to $419.4 million. Certificates of deposit decreased $6.7 million, or 3.2%, to $204.3 million at March 31, 2011 compared to year-ended 2010. Total borrowings were unchanged at $125.5 million for the quarter-ended March 31, 2011.

Asset Quality

The provision for loan losses totaled $75,000 for the first quarter of 2011 compared to $152,000 for the first quarter of 2010 and $76,000 for the fourth quarter of 2010. The allowance for loan losses totaled $4.1 million, or 0.62% of total loans, at March 31, 2011 compared to $4.0 million, or 0.60% of total loans, at December 31, 2010. The Company experienced no charge-off activity in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to $26,000 in charge-off activity for the first quarter of 2010.

Non-performing assets totaled $5.9 million, or 0.88% of total assets, at March 31, 2011, compared to $5.3 million, or 0.79% of total assets, at December 31, 2010. Non-performing assets consisted of eleven residential mortgages totaling $4.8 million, three commercial mortgages totaling $726,000, four commercial loans totaling $169,000, two consumer equity loans totaling $75,000 and one real estate owned property totaling $98,000. Specific reserves recorded for these loans at March 31, 2011 were $559,000.

Income Statement Analysis

Net interest income decreased $6,000, or 0.1%, to $6.0 million for the first quarter of 2011 compared to $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2010. Net interest margin increased 1 basis point in the quarter ended March 2011 to 3.47% versus 3.46% for the quarter ended March 2010 and 6 basis points from 3.41% for the quarter ended December 2010. The decrease in net interest income in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 was the result of a decrease in average interest-earning assets of $3.6 million, a decrease of 24 basis points in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.25% and an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $76.3 million. These changes were offset by a decrease of 51 basis points in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 1.75%.

Other income decreased $5,000 to $802,000 for the first quarter of 2011 compared to $807,000 in the first quarter of 2010. The decrease in other income resulted from decreases in deposit account fees and cash surrender value of life insurance offset by increases in debit card commissions over the prior period.

Other expenses increased $203,000, or 4.6%, to $4.7 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010. Costs associated with the pending merger with CBCH Financialcorp and its subsidiary Select Bank totaled $89,000. Additionally, increases in salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment and FDIC insurance of $142,000 were offset by decreases in marketing and other expense of $28,000.
