Press Release

Ocean Shore Holding Co. Reports 2nd Quarter Earnings

Ocean City, New Jersey – July 26, 2011 – Ocean Shore Holding Co. (NASDAQ: OSHC) today announced net income of $1,158,000, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $1,239,000, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $2,362,000, or $0.35 per diluted share, as compared to $2,575,000, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the same period in 2010. Results reflect after tax expenses of $155,000 during the second quarter and $244,000 for the first six months of 2011 associated with the pending acquisition of CBHC Financialcorp, Inc and its subsidiary Select Bank, compared to no activity during the same periods in 2010. The acquisition is expected to close on August 1, 2011.

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

“The uncertain and uneven economic recovery continues to present challenges to consumers and businesses in our market area,” said Steven E. Brady, President and CEO. “Nevertheless, by remaining disciplined in our focus on conservative lending practices and the generation of core deposits, we have increased net interest income. We look forward to the upcoming completion of our acquisition of Select Bank and the additional growth that will bring.”

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets grew $20.4 million, or 2.4%, to $860.3 million at June 30, 2011 from December 31, 2010. Loans receivable, net, grew $2.5 million, or 0.4%, to $662.8 million from $660.4 million at December 31, 2010.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $5.8 million, or 5.2%, to $105.1 million at June 30, 2011 from December 31, 2010. Loan originations and other advances totaling $72.6 million were offset by payoffs and payments received of $70.1 million resulting in growth of $2.5 million. The increase in investments and mortgage-backed securities resulted from new purchases of short term agency investments of $25.0 million offset by normal repayment and payoffs of $1.3 million. Cash and cash equivalents decrease resulted from increased investment activity offset by increased deposit activity.

Deposits grew $17.8 million, or 3.0%, to $621.2 million at June 30, 2011 from December 31, 2010. The Company continued its focus on core deposits, which increased $29.2 million, or 7.4%, to $421.5 million.

Income Statement Analysis

Net interest income increased $110,000, or 1.8%, to $6.2 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2010. Net interest margin increased 1 basis point in the quarter ended June 2011 to 3.49% versus 3.48% for the quarter ended June 2010 and 2 basis points from 3.47% for the quarter ended March 2011. The increase in net interest income in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010 was the result of an increase in average interest-earning assets of $11.1 million and a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 46 basis points to 1.72%, offset by a decrease of 27 basis points in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.19% and an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $67.6 million.

Net interest income increased $103,000, or 0.9%, to $12.1 million for the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year. An increase in net interest margin of 1 basis points to 3.48% from 3.47% was the result of an increase in average interest-earning assets of $3.8 million and a decrease of 48 basis points in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities to 1.73%, offset by an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $71.9 million and a decrease of 26 basis points in the average yield on earning assets to 5.22%.

Other income decreased $24,000 and $29,000 to $862,000 and $1.7 million, for the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 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 $435,000, or 9.9%, to $4.8 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2010. Other expenses increased $639,000, or 7.2%, to $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Costs associated with the pending merger with CBCH Financialcorp and its subsidiary Select Bank accounted for the majority of the increases

totaling $214,000 for the second quarter of 2011 and $303,000 for the first six months of 2011.
