Item 1.  Consolidated Financial Statements

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

     Ocean Financial Corp. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation organized
by Ocean Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") in November 1995 for the purpose of
acquiring all of the capital stock of the Bank to be issued in the conversion of
the Bank from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered
stock savings bank (the "Conversion").

     The Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
the Registration Statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, with respect to the Common Stock to be offered in connection with the
Conversion of the Bank.  The Company also filed a Registration Statement on Form
8-A to register its Common Stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.  Each Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on May
13, 1996.  The Conversion, including the Company's acquisition of the Bank was
consummated on July 2, 1996.  Prior to July 2, 1996, the Company was a non-
operating entity.

     The financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of
financial condition and results of operations of Ocean Financial Corp. have been
omitted because the Company had not yet issued any stock, had no assets and no
liabilities, and had not conducted any business other than that of an
organizational nature as of June 30, 1996.

     The information set forth herein represents the consolidated financial
statements of the Bank, in its mutual form, and its wholly-owned subsidiary as
of or for the period ending June 30, 1996.  This information includes
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, Income and Cash Flows and Notes
thereto and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operation.

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              ----------------------------------------------------



NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- -----------------------------

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Ocean Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") and its inactive wholly-
owned subsidiary, Dome Financial Services, Inc.

The interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the
periods presented.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that
may be expected for all of 1996.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in
Ocean Financial Corp.'s (the "Company") prospectus, which is a part of the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 33-80123) as approved by the
Securities and Exchange Commission on May 13, 1996.

NOTE 2. IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------

In May 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 65," which requires that a
mortgage banking enterprise record as a separate asset, rights to service
mortgage loans for others, however those servicing rights are acquired.  In
circumstances where mortgage loans are originated, separate asset rights to
service mortgage loans are recorded when the enterprise intends to sell or
securitize such loans and retain servicing.  SFAS No. 122 was adopted by the
Bank prospectively beginning January 1, 1996.  Adoption of this new statement
did not have a material impact on the Bank's financial position or results of
operations.

NOTE 3. CONVERSION TO CAPITAL STOCK FORM OF OWNERSHIP
- -----------------------------------------------------

On August 17, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Bank adopted a Plan of
Conversion, as amended, to convert from a federally chartered mutual savings
bank to a federally chartered capital stock savings bank with the concurrent
formation of a holding company ("the Conversion").

The Conversion was completed on July 2, 1996 with the issuance by the Company of
8,388,078 shares of its common stock in a public offering to the Bank's eligible
depositors and the Bank's employee stock ownership plan (the "ESOP").  The
purchase of 671,046 shares of common stock (8% of the total shares offered) by
the ESOP was funded by a loan of $13.4 million from the Company.

In exchange for 50% of the net conversion proceeds ($81.6 million), the Company
acquired 100% of the stock of the Bank and retained the remaining net conversion
proceeds at the holding company level.

Concurrent with the close of the Conversion, an additional 671,046 shares of
common stock (8% of the offering) were issued and donated by the Company to the
Ocean Federal Foundation (the "Foundation"), a private foundation dedicated to
charitable purposes within Ocean County, New Jersey and its neighboring
communities. The fair market value of the

contribution of $13.4 million, will be reflected as an expense in the Company's
third quarter operating results and as an increase to capital stock and paid in
capital for the same amount.  The Company also recorded a related tax benefit of
$3.7 million with a corresponding increase to the Company's deferred tax assets.
The net effect of the charitable donation on the Company's financial condition
and results of operations for the third quarter will be a decrease in net income
of $9.7 million, an increase in capital stock and paid in capital of $13.4
million and an increase in deferred tax assets of $3.7 million.  Although the
Company and the Bank have received an opinion of their independent accountants
that the Company will be entitled to the deduction for the charitable
contribution, there can be no assurances that the IRS will recognize the
Foundation as a Section 501(c)(3) exempt organization or that the deduction will
be permitted.  In such event, the Company's contribution to the Foundation would
be fully expensed, resulting in a further reduction in earnings in the year in
which the IRS makes such a determination.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at June 30, 1996, were $1.19 billion, an increase of $155.4
million, or 15.0%, compared to $1.04 billion at December 31, 1995.  This growth
was funded by the receipt of $153.5 million in common stock subscriptions during
the Bank's Conversion, which was completed on July 2, 1996.  The proceeds from
common stock subscription orders were primarily used to repay Federal Home Loan
Bank of New York ("FHLB") borrowings, purchase investment and mortgage-backed
securities and invest in Federal funds sold.

Total cash and cash equivalents were $43.4 million at June 30, 1996, an increase
of $35.4 million from $8.0 million at December 31, 1995.  The increase in total
cash and cash equivalents was the result of inflows from common stock
subscriptions and the timing of operating and investing cash flows.  Investment
securities available-for-sale increased by $17.1 million, to a balance of $132.0
million at June 30, 1996, compared to a balance of $114.9 million at December
31, 1995, and mortgage-backed securities increased by $74.8 million to $339.9
million at June 30, 1996 from $265.1 million at December 31, 1995.  The increase
in investment and mortgage-backed securities is due to the Bank's strategy to
prefund expected Conversion proceeds by increasing FHLB borrowings, and
investing the borrowed funds in investment and mortgage-backed securities, with
the intention of repaying such borrowings upon consummation of the Conversion.
Loans receivable, net, increased by $18.8 million, or 3.1%, to a balance of
$631.5 million at June 30, 1996, compared to a balance of $612.7 million at
December 31, 1995.  Premises and equipment increased by $1.9 million or 24.3%,
to $9.5 million at June 30, 1996, from $7.6 million at December 31, 1995, as a
result of renovations in progress to a building purchased by the Bank in July
1995, which will be the site of both a new branch office and the Bank's new
administrative facility. The renovation is due to be completed in early 1997.

Total deposits at June 30, 1996 were $939.1 million, an increase of $12.6
million, or 1.4% compared to $926.6 million at December 31, 1995.  Retained
earnings at June 30, 1996, were $92.1 million, compared to $92.4 million at
December 31, 1995, as net income of $4.9 million for the six months ended June
30, 1996 was more than offset by a decrease in the net unrealized (loss) gain on
securities available-for-sale, net of tax, of $5.2 million to a $3.1 million
loss at June 30, 1996, from a $2.1 million gain at December 31, 1995.  The
increase in market interest rates during 1996, negatively impacted the fair
market value of these securities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

Net income increased $337,000, or 15.8%, to $2.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996, from $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995.
For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net income increased $427,000 or 9.6%,
to $4.9 million, from $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The
increases were due to increases in net interest income and other income,
combined with a reduction in the provision for loan losses, partly offset by
increases in operating expenses and the provision for income taxes.  The Bank's
average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities increased
significantly during the first half of 1996 as compared to 1995 due to a
strategy employed by the Bank to prefund anticipated Conversion proceeds,
through the purchase during 1996 of investment and mortgage-backed securities
funded by short-term FHLB borrowings.  These borrowings were fully repaid at
June 30, 1996 through the receipt of common stock subscriptions.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $19.8 million,
compared to $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995, an increase
of $2.2 million, or 12.8%.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996 interest
income was $38.8 million compared to $34.4 million for the same period in 1995,
an increase of $4.4 million or 12.8%.   The increases in interest income were
the result of a significant increase in the average size of the mortgage-backed
securities available-for-sale portfolio due to the 1996 purchases relating to
the prefunding of Conversion proceeds strategy discussed above.  Additionally,
the average balance of loans receivable and investment securities available-for-
sale also increased during the second quarter and first half of 1996 as compared
to the second quarter and first half of 1995.  The increase in interest-earning
assets was more than enough to offset the effects of a lower average interest-
earning asset yield which decreased to 7.06% and 7.10% for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to 7.32% and 7.21% for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1996, was $11.6 million,
compared to $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995, an increase
of $1.6 million, or 16.5%.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996 interest
expense was $22.8 million, compared to $19.0 million for the same period in
1995, an increase of $3.7 million, or 19.6%.  The increases in interest expense
were the result of an increase in the average outstanding balance of both
deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.  Additionally, the Bank incurred
other interest expense in the second quarter and first six months of 1996 of
$144,000, representing interest due on common stock subscriptions.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 1996, the Bank's provision
for loan losses was $125,000 and $250,000, respectively, compared to $237,000
and $474,000 for same prior year periods.  The decreased provisions were based
on management's assessment of the risks inherent in the Bank's loan portfolio.

OTHER INCOME

Other income increased to $746,000 and $1.4 million for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, representing increases of $354,000 and
$569,000, or 90.3% and 65.2%, compared to the same prior year periods.  Income
from fees and service charges increased $66,000 and $129,000, for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared to the same prior year
periods due to revisions in the Bank's fee structure.  Income from the net gain
on sales of loans held for sale increased $13,000 and $187,000 for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared to the same prior year
periods.  The increase was due to a higher volume of loan sales and the
adoption, effective January 1, 1996, of Statement for Financial Accounting
Standards No. 122 "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 65," which allowed the Bank to record, as a separate asset,
rights to service mortgage loans for others.  The volume of loan sales decreased
significantly in the second quarter of 1996 as higher market interest rates
slowed refinancing activity.  Other income increased $178,000 and $226,000 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared to the same
prior year periods due to the recovery through June 30, 1996, of $101,000, from
the previous charge-off of a financial asset and due to the recognition of
$132,000 of income in 1996 relating to increases in the cash surrender value of
life insurance policies on Bank officers.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses were $5.0 million and $9.5 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, representing increases of $701,000 and

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
$923,000, or 16.2% and 10.8%, compared to the same prior year periods.  The
increase in compensation and employee benefits expense of $708,000 and $773,000
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to
the same prior year periods was due to a $550,000 accrual in the second quarter
of 1996 for one-half the estimated ESOP expense for 1996.  This expense was
partly offset by freezing the future accrual of benefits under the Bank's
defined benefit pension plan.  Marketing expense for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996 decreased by $57,000 and $110,000, respectively, over the
comparable prior year periods due to a decrease in donations as a result of the
formation of the Ocean Federal Foundation and a decrease in advertising.
General and administrative expense amounted to $609,000 and $1.4 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, representing increases
of $50,000 and $214,000, as compared to the same prior year periods.  The
increases were due to higher loan related expenses in conjunction with  higher
loan volume, especially in the first quarter of 1996.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense was $1.3 million and $2.8 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared to $1.3 million and $2.7
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively.  The
effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were 36.4%
and 37.7%, respectively.

RECAPITALIZATION OF SAIF AND ITS IMPACT ON SAIF PREMIUMS

Legislative initiatives regarding the recapitalization of the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC"), deposit insurance premiums, FICO bond interest payments, the merger of
SAIF and Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), financial industry regulatory structure
and revision of thrift and bank charters are still pending before Congress.
Management cannot predict the ultimate impact any final legislation or
regulatory actions may have on the operations of the Bank or the Company.
Without passage of legislation addressing the FDIC insurance premium disparity,
the Bank, like other thrifts in the SAIF, will continue to pay deposit insurance
premiums significantly higher than banks. As long as such premium differential
continues, it may have adverse consequences on the Bank's and the Company's
earnings and the Bank and the Company may be placed at a substantial competitive
disadvantage to banking organizations insured by the BIF. 

Legislation regarding bad debt recapture has been passed by Congress and sent 
to the President for signature. The legislation requires recapture of reserves
accumulated after 1987. The recapture of post 1987 reserves must be paid over a
six year period starting in 1996. The payment of the tax can be deferred in each
of 1996 and 1997 if an institution originates at least the same average annual
principal amount of mortgage loans that it originated in the six years prior to
1996. Management does not believe that this legislation will have a material
impact on the operations of the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest
payments on loans, FHLB borrowings and, to a lesser extent, investment
maturities and proceeds from the sale of loans.  While scheduled amortization of
loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments
are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and
competition.  The Bank has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional
funds arises, including an overnight line of credit and advances from the FHLB.
At June 30, 1996, the Bank had no outstanding overnight borrowings from the
FHLB, representing a decrease from $10.4 million at December 31, 1995.  The Bank
utilizes the overnight line from time to time to fund short-term liquidity
needs.

Federal regulations require the Bank to maintain minimum levels of liquid
assets.  The required percentage has varied from time to time based upon
economic conditions and savings flows and is currently 5% of net withdrawable
savings deposits and borrowings payable on demand or in one year or less during
the preceding calendar month.  Liquid assets for purposes of this ratio include
cash, accrued interest receivable, certain time deposits, U.S. Treasury and
Government agencies and other securities and obligations generally having
remaining maturities of less than five years.  The levels of these assets are
dependent on the Bank's operating, financing, lending and investing activities
during any given period.  As of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Bank's
liquidity

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
ratios were 18.9% and 17.2%, respectively, both in excess of the 5% minimum
regulatory requirement.

The Bank's cash needs for the six months ended June 30, 1996, were principally
provided by FHLB borrowings, increased deposits, maturities of investment
securities and principal payments on loan and mortgage-backed securities.  The
cash provided was principally used for investing and financing activities, which
included the purchase of investment and mortgage-backed securities, the
origination of loans and the repayment of FHLB borrowings late in the period.
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the cash needs of the Bank were
primarily satisfied by growth in the deposit base, investment maturities and
principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities.  The cash was
principally utilized for loan origination and repayment of FHLB borrowings.

At June 30, 1996, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements
with tangible capital of $95.2 million, or 7.9%, of total adjusted assets, which
is above the required level of $18.0 million or 1.5%; core capital of $95.2
million, or 7.9% of total adjusted assets, which is above the required level of
$36.0 million, or 3.0%; and risk-based capital of $100.6 million, or 20.4% of
risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $39.5 million or
8.0%.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

The following table sets forth information regarding the Bank's nonperforming
assets consisting of non-accrual loans and Real Estate Owned (REO).  The Bank
had no troubled-debt restructured loans within the meaning of SFAS 15 at June
30, 1996 or December 31, 1995.  It is the policy of the Bank to cease accruing
interest on loans 90 days or more past due or in the process of foreclosure.
