NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(All dollar amounts presented in the tables, except share and per share amounts, are in thousands)
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, 2014. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 or any other period. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of the issuance of its financial statements.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements - The preparation of the consolidated
financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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, other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities, goodwill and intangible impairment,
deferred income taxes and the fair value measurements of financial instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates
under different assumptions and conditions, and the differences may be material to the consolidated
financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements – In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables — Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure — a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, on January 17, 2014. This ASU clarifies when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The amended guidance clarifies that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. In addition, the amended guidance requires interim and annual disclosures of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The amended guidance may be applied prospectively or through a modified retrospective approach and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the amended guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which created Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) ASC 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," superseding the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605. This ASU requires an entity to recognize revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendment includes a five-step process to assist an entity in achieving the main principle(s) of revenue recognition under ASC 605. The amendment will be effective for the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2017. Early adoption would be permitted as of the original effective date in ASU 2014-09 which is the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2016. The adoption of the amended guidance is currently being evaluated by the Company.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11, an amendment to ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing.” This ASU requires accounting changes for repurchase to maturity and repurchase financing transactions, respectively, which will be accounted for as a secured borrowing agreement on a prospective basis. The ASU also adds additional disclosure requirements related to these transactions. The amendment will be effective for the Company for the first annual period ending after December 15, 2014. The accounting changes for all transactions affected by this amendment will have the impact recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings on the date of adoption. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Also in June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, an amendment to ASC 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. Application of existing guidance in ASC 718, as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting, should continue to be used to account for such awards. The amendment will be effective for the Company for the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-14, an amendment to ASC 310-40 “Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors.” This ASU requires that a government-guaranteed mortgage loan be de-recognized, and that a separate other receivable be recognized, upon foreclosure if the three criteria identified in the ASU are met. Upon foreclosure and meeting the three criteria, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) that is expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The amendment will be effective for the Company for the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2014. The Company adopted this amendment in 2014 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB also issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This ASU requires management to perform an assessment of going concern and provides specific guidance on when and how to assess or disclose going concern uncertainties. The new standard also defines terms used in the evaluation of going concern, such as "substantial doubt." Following application, the Company will be required to perform assessments at each annual and interim period, provide an assessment period of one year from the issuance date, and make disclosures in certain circumstances in which substantial doubt is identified. The amendment will be effective for the Company for the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2016. Earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect this ASU to have an impact on its financial position, result of operations, or disclosures.

Management has reviewed its investment securities as of September 30, 2015 and has determined that all declines in fair value below amortized cost are temporary.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. The OTTI assessment is a subjective process requiring the use of judgments and assumptions. During the securities-level assessments, consideration is given to (1) the intent not to sell and probability that the Company will not be required to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, as well as company news and current events, and (3) the ability to collect the future expected cash flows. Key assumptions utilized to forecast expected cash flows may include loss severity, expected cumulative loss percentage, cumulative loss percentage to date, weighted average FICO and weighted average loan-to-value (“LTV”), rating or scoring, credit ratings and market spreads, as applicable.
The Company assesses and recognizes OTTI in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Under these standards, if the Company determines that a security in the unrealized loss position is designated to be sold or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the impairment of such security is concluded to be other than temporary and the entire amount of the unrealized loss will be recorded in earnings. If the Company has not made a decision to sell the security and it does not expect that it will be required to sell the security prior to the recovery of the amortized cost basis but the Company concludes that the entire amortized cost basis of the security will not be recovered, while the OTTI is concluded to exists, the Company only recognizes currently in earnings the amount of decline in value attributable to credit deterioration, with the remaining component of OTTI presented in other comprehensive income.
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, 2015, two single issuer trust preferred securities were in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer with an aggregate depreciation of 17.8% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. The initial decline of these securities was primarily attributable to depressed market pricing of non-rated issues of trust preferred securities observed during the financial downturn. The unrealized loss position continued to improve, and the current decline of these debt securities is principally attributable to the rising interest rate environment and depressed pricing on lower yielding investments with prolonged maturities, which had an impact for these types of investments. These securities were performing in accordance with their contractual terms as of September 30, 2015, 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 September 30, 2015 the Company had 14 agency mortgage-backed securities with unrealized losses for 12 months or longer. Those securities had aggregate depreciation of 1.2% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. These securities were performing in accordance with their contractual terms as of September 30, 2015, and had paid all contractual cash flows since the Company’s initial investment and that the Company expects to receive all contractual principal and interest payments related to those investments. 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 amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities available for sale and held to maturity at September 30, 2015 by contractual maturity are shown below.

Not reflected in the table above, are equity securities and mortgage-backed securities. Equity securities do not have stated contractual maturities while mortgage-backed securities may have expected maturities different than those contractually stated. 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. Equity securities had a cost of $3 thousand and a fair value of $43 thousand as of September 30, 2015. Mortgage-backed securities had a cost of $82,395 million and a fair value of $81,939 million as of September 30, 2015.

The provision for loan losses charged to expense is based upon past loan loss experiences, a series of qualitative factors, and an evaluation of losses in the current loan portfolio, including the specific evaluation of impaired loans. Values assigned to the qualitative factors and those developed from historic loss experience provide a dynamic basis for the calculation of reserve factors for both pass–rated loans (general pooled allowance) and the criticized and classified loans that continue to perform.

Included in the Company’s loan portfolio are modified commercial loans. Per FASB ASC 310-40, Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”), a modification is one in which the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider, such as providing for a below market interest rate and/or forgiving principal or previously accrued interest; this modification may stem from an agreement or be imposed by law or a court, and may involve a multiple note structure. Generally, prior to the modification, the loans which are modified as a TDR are already classified as non-performing. These loans may only be returned to performing (i.e. accrual status) after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable amount of time, generally six months; this sustained repayment performance may include the period of time just prior to the restructuring. As of September 30, 2015, the Company entered into eighteen TDR agreements with a total carrying value of $4.2 million, of which five were not performing totaling $660 thousand. These loans had a specific reserve of $515 thousand. The following table presents an analysis of the Company’s TDR agreements existing as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

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.

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.
The calculated basic and dilutive EPS are as follows:

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 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 September 30, 2015 and 2014 and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are presented below:

As of September 30, 2015, there was $383 thousand of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.9 years.
7. | INCOME TAXES |
Income tax expense was $2.6 million for an effective tax rate of 33.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $2.6 million for an effective tax rate of 35.7% for the same period in 2014.
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 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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, 2015, the tax years ended December 31, 2012 through 2014 were subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, while the tax years ended December 31, 2014 were subject to New Jersey examination.

8. | STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY |
During the third quarter of 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per share, which was paid on August 21, 2015 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 29, 2015.
On March 3, 2015, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company will repurchase up to 130,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock, or approximately 2% of outstanding shares. The Company repurchased a total of 16,400 shares at a weighted average cost of $14.82 per share during the three months ended September 30, 2015 completing the program.

9. | 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.
The following tables presents assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by major product category and fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

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 was not 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.
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.

Impaired Loans
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, less cost to sell. These adjustments are based upon observable inputs, and therefore, the fair value measurement has been categorized as a level 2 measurement. 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. Total loans remeasured at fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $3.9 million. Such loans were carried at the value of $4.0 million immediately prior to remeasurement, resulting in the recognition of impairment through earnings in the amount of $123 thousand. Total loans remeasured at fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $5.6 million. Such loans were carried at the value of $6.1 million immediately prior to remeasurement, resulting in the recognition of impairment through earnings in the amount of $441 thousand.
21 |
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. These adjustments are based upon observable inputs, and therefore, the fair value measurement has been categorized as a Level 2 measurement. 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. Total real estate owned remeasured at fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $1.6 million. These properties were carried at a value of $1.8 million immediately prior to remeasurement, resulting in $255 thousand of impairment through earnings. Total real estate owned remeasured at fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $248 thousand. These properties were carried at a value of $303 thousand immediately prior to remeasurement, resulting in $55 thousand of impairment through earnings.
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, 2015. 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.
23 |
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.
Commitments to Extend Credit and Letters of Credit—The majority of the Bank’s commitments to extend credit and letters of credit carry current market interest rates if converted to loans. Because commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are generally unassignable by either the Bank or the borrower, they only have value to the Bank and the borrower. The estimated fair value approximates the recorded deferred fee amounts, which are not significant.
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
10. | GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS |
Goodwill totaled $4.6 million at September 30, 2015 as compared to $4.6 million at December 31, 2014. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of August 1, 2015 and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. At September 30, 2015, no triggering events have occurred from the date of the impairment test that would have impaired goodwill.
The core deposit intangible totaled $464 thousand at September 30, 2015 as compared to $536 thousand at December 31, 2014. The core deposit intangible is being amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately 15 years from August 1, 2011.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
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’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, 2014 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. Ocean Shore Holding assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
GENERAL
Ocean Shore Holding Co. (“Ocean Shore Holding” or the “Company”) is the holding company for Ocean City Home Bank (the “Bank”). 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.
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.
MARKET AREA
We are headquartered in Ocean City, New Jersey, and serve the southern New Jersey shore communities through a total of eleven full-service offices, of which nine are located in Atlantic County and two in Cape May County. Our markets are in the southeastern corner of New Jersey, approximately 65 miles east of Philadelphia and 130 miles south of New York.
The economy of Atlantic County is dominated by the service sector, of which the gaming industry in nearby Atlantic City is the primary employer. Four of the 12 Atlantic City casinos that were operating as of January 1, 2014 closed during the year and a fifth declared bankruptcy. The casino closings in 2014 resulted in the loss of approximately 8,000 jobs. We do not maintain any branches in Atlantic City, but Atlantic City is within our lending area and some of our borrowers are employed in the gaming industry. We closely monitor the economic environment in our market area and in Atlantic City in particular, and we track our exposure to borrowers who are employed in the gaming industry. In order to mitigate the loss of jobs from casino closures while positioning Atlantic City for future growth in other industries, several other ventures in the area, which are expected to create employment, have been recently announced and are at the final stages of completion. Both a Bass Pro Shop and a $134 million convention center at Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City were recently completed. Additionally, The Pier Shops of Caesar were purchased by a Philadelphia developer and will receive a full renovation. Outside of Atlantic City, The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey recently announced its takeover of the FAA Next Gen Research Park. The Research Park will be located on the campus of the Federal Aviation Administration’s William J. Hughes Technical Center in Egg Harbor Township. At full build out, the Research Park consists of seven buildings encompassing 400,000 square feet of research and development facilities. During 2014, the Stockton Aviation Research and Technology Park was selected by the FAA as one of the National test sites for future government use of commercial drones.
25 |
While Ocean City Home Bank is not engaged in lending to the casino industry, the employment or businesses of many of Ocean City Home Bank’s customers directly or indirectly benefit from the industry. As of September 30, 2015, we had $16.8 million of loans outstanding to borrowers who, at the time of origination, were employed in the gaming industry, representing 2.1% of total loans. Of these loans, less than $3.6 million were made to borrowers who were employed at the time of origination at casinos/hotels that subsequently closed or declared bankruptcy. To date, we have not experienced a significant impact from the downturn in the gaming industry, which has experienced declining revenue and employment since 2006.
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND DECEMBER 31, 2014
Total assets of the Company increased $42.7 million to $1,067.5 million at September 30, 2015 from $1,024.8 million at December 31, 2014. Loans receivable, net, increased $11.5 million, investment and mortgage-backed securities decreased $3.2 million and cash and cash equivalents increased by $35.2 million. Deposits increased $44.9 million while borrowings decreased $7.2 million.
Investments
Investments and mortgage-backed securities decreased $3.2 million to $108.2 million at September 30, 2015 from $111.3 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease was the result of repayments, calls and maturities of $14.7 million partially offset by purchases of $10.5 million of agency investments and an improvement in the unrealized holding loss on investment securities of $1.0 million.
Loans
Loans receivable, net, increased $11.5 million to $785.5 million at September 30, 2015 from $774.0 million at December 31, 2014. The increase resulted from increases in the real estate mortgage portfolio of $12.0 million and real estate construction loans of $3.1 million offset by decreases in commercial loans of $1.7 million and consumer loans of $2.8 million. Loan originations totaled $119.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $114.4 million originated in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Real estate mortgage loan originations totaled $74.4 million, real estate construction loan originations totaled $20.0 million, consumer loan originations totaled $12.9 million and commercial loan originations totaled $12.5 million for the first nine months of 2015. Origination activity was offset by $108.3 million of normal loan payments and payoffs, compared to payments and payoffs of $85.8 million in the same period of the prior year. The higher than normal increase in residential loans payoffs resulted from higher refinance activity due to the low interest rate environment on loans.

Non-Performing Assets
Non-performing assets totaled $7.7 million, or 0.72% of total assets, at September 30, 2015 compared to $6.9 million or 0.68% of total assets at December 31, 2014 and $7.9 million, or 0.76% of total assets, at September 30, 2014. The increase of $735 thousand from December 31, 2014 was the result of increases in real estate owned of $1.3 million offset by decreases in non-performing loans of $485 thousand and TDR non-accrual loans of $34 thousand. Non-performing assets consisted of 18 residential mortgages totaling $2.8 million, one real estate construction mortgage totaling $144 thousand, five real estate commercial mortgages totaling $1.6 million, eight consumer equity loans totaling $568 thousand, five TRD non-accrual loans totaling $660 thousand and seven real estate owned properties totaling $1.9 million. Real estate owned increased by one property while the total balance increased to $1.9 million at September 30, 2015 from $650 thousand at December 31, 2014 as non-performing loans migrated to real estate owned. The Company has two real estate owned properties under contract for sale for gross proceeds totaling $715 thousand.
The allowance for loan losses decreased $644 thousand to $3.1 million, or 0.40% of total net loans, from $3.8 million at December 31, 2014, or 0.49% of total net loans. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses resulted from net charge offs of $1.1 million offset by an addition to the allowance of $496 thousand. Net charge-offs totaled $1.1 million in 2015 compared to $433 thousand for the same period in 2014. The loss factors used to calculate the allowance were relatively stable in September 2015 from December 2014. The allowance levels were maintained to reflect a reserve level deemed appropriate by management in light of factors such as the level of non-performing loans, collateral position, credit characteristics of the underlying borrowers and current economic conditions. At September 30, 2015, the specific allowance on loans individually evaluated for impairment was $683 thousand and pooled allowance on the remainder of the loan portfolio was $2.4 million as compared to specific allowance on loans individually evaluated for impairment of $1.0 million and pooled allowance on the reminder of the loan portfolio of $2.8 million at December 31, 2014.

Deposits
Deposits increased $44.9 million, or 5.7%, to $832.0 million at September 30, 2015 from $787.1 million at December 31, 2014. Non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $95.0 million, interest bearing demand deposits decreased $52.6 million, savings accounts increased by $2.8 million and certificates of deposit decreased by $233 thousand. A repricing of interest bearing demand deposits to non-interest bearing demand deposits led to the change of category of those deposits. Municipal deposits increased $27.1 million at September 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014 as a result of seasonal deposits. The Company continued its focus on attracting core deposits which totaled $653.5 million or 78.5% of total deposits.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company redeemed the remaining $7.2 million liquidation value of its 8.67% capital securities issued by Ocean Shore Capital Trust I.
Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity increased $4.9 million to $110.7 million at September 30, 2015, from $105.8 million at December 31, 2014, primarily as a result of $5.1 million of net income, proceeds from exercises of stock options of $3.2 million, increases in contra benefit plans of $122 thousand and an increase in other comprehensive income of $634 thousand offset by an increase in treasury stock of $2.4 million and dividends paid of $1.1 million.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND 2014
Net income was $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase of $89 thousand, or 5.6%, in 2015 from 2014 was due primarily to an increase in net interest income, other income and a decrease in income tax expense offset by an increase in other expenses and provision for loan losses.
Net income was $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The $421 thousand, or 9.0%, increase in 2015 from 2014 was due primarily to an increase in net interest income, other income and decreases in other expenses and income taxes offset by an increase in provision for loan losses.

The interest rate spread and net interest margin of the Company were 3.02% and 3.17%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 3.08% and 3.15%, respectively, for the same period in 2014. The increase in the net interest margin of two basis points resulted from an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $10.3 million, a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $72.0 million, a decrease in average rate paid on deposits and borrowings of three basis points offset by a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets of eight basis points.
Interest income decreased by $78 thousand, or 0.9%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared to September 30, 2014. The decrease in interest income resulted from a decrease in the average balance of investments of $1.5 million and lower yields on loans of 11 basis points offset by an increase in the average balance of loans of $11.7 million and yield on investments of two basis points. The decrease in average balance of investments resulted from investment calls and maturities. The decrease in loan yield resulted from lower rates on new loans originated and payoffs or refinances of higher yielding loans offset by increased loan balances from new originations at lower rates.
Interest expense decreased by $212 thousand, or 11.2%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 over the same period last year. The decrease in interest expense resulted from decreases in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $66.9 million, borrowings of $5.0 million and rates paid on FHLB advances of 44 basis points offset by an increase in the cost of deposits of five basis points. The decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits resulted primarily from a change in terms to not pay interest on a segment of interest bearing demand deposits while the decrease in the cost of FHLB advances resulted from refinancing of maturing advances to a lower rate.

The decrease in interest expense resulted from decreases in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $75.4 million, borrowings of $3.8 million and rates paid on FHLB advances of 44 basis points offset by an increase in the cost of deposits of four basis points. The decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits resulted primarily from a change in terms to not pay interest on a segment of interest bearing demand deposits while the decrease in the cost of FHLB advances resulted from refinancing of maturing advances to a lower rate.
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 quarterly 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 collectability of the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses was $165 thousand and $496 thousand in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $125 thousand and $263 thousand in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, 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 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 September 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents totaled $115.5 million and securities classified as available-for-sale whose market value exceeds our cost, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $28.3 million. In addition, at September 30, 2015, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $302.3 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.
At September 30, 2015, we had $77.9 million in loan commitments outstanding, which included $31.4 million in undisbursed loans, $28.2 million in unused home equity lines of credit and $18.3 million in commercial lines and letters of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year of September 30, 2015 totaled $119.6 million, or 67.0% 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, 2015, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with Tier 1 leverage capital of $97.7 million, or 9.21% of total adjusted assets, which is above the required level of $42.4 million or 4.0%; common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital of $97.7 million, or 17.63% of total adjusted assets which is above the required level of $24.9 million or 4.5%; Tier 1 risk-based capital of $97.7 million, or 17.63% of total adjusted assets which is above the required level of $33.2 million or 6.0%; and total risk-based capital of $100.8 million, or 18.20% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $44.3 million or 8.0%. The Bank is considered a “well-capitalized” institution under the applicable prompt corrective action regulations.
At September 30, 2015, the Company had the following levels of regulatory capital: Tier 1 leverage capital ratio 10.24% of total adjusted assets, common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 19.21% of risk-weighted assets; Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 19.21% of risk-weighted assets and total risk-based capital ratio 19.77% of risk-weighted assets.
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.
36 |
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, 2015 Percentage Change in Estimated Net Interest Income Over | ||||||||
12 Months | 24 Months | |||||||
200 basis point increase in rates | 7.21 | % | 10.53 | % | ||||
100 basis point decrease in rates | (0.94 | ) | (3.12 | ) |
N/M – not measurable
The 200 and 100 basis point change in rates in the above table is assumed to occur evenly over the following 12 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 and negatively affected (within our internal guidelines) in the 12-month and 24-month periods if rates decreased by 100 basis points.
Economic Value of Equity Analysis
In addition to a net interest income simulation analysis, we use an interest rate sensitivity analysis to review our level of interest rate risk. This analysis measures interest rate risk by computing changes in economic value of equity 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. Economic value of equity (EVE) 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 presents the change in our net portfolio value at June 30, 2015 that would occur in the event of an immediate change in interest rates based on management’s assumptions, with no effect given to any steps that we might take to counteract that change.

The Company uses certain assumptions in assessing its interest rate risk. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, 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, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
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.
