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




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

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Ocean Financial Corp. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, 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, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that
may be expected for all of 1997.

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
the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996.


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

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS
128).  SFAS 128 supersedes APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share," and
specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for
earnings per share (EPS) for entities with publicly held common stock.  SFAS 128
replaces Primary EPS and Fully Diluted EPS with Basic EPS and Diluted EPS,
respectively.  SFAS 128 also requires dual presentation of Basic and Diluted EPS
on the face of the income statement for entities with complex capital structures
and a reconciliation of the information utilized to calculate Basic EPS to that
used to calculate Diluted EPS.

SFAS 128 is effective for financial statement periods ending after December 15,
1997.  Earlier application is not permitted.  After adoption, all prior period
EPS is required to be restated to conform with SFAS 128. The Company expects
that the adoption of SFAS 128 will result in Basic EPS being  higher than
Primary EPS and Diluted EPS will be approximately the same as Fully Diluted EPS.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of Information
about Capital Structure" (SFAS 129) was issued in February 1997.  SFAS 129 is
effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997.  SFAS 129 lists required
disclosures about capital structure that had been included in a number of
separate statements and opinions of authoritative accounting literature.  As
such, the adoption of SFAS 129 is not expected to have a significant impact on
the disclosures in financial statements of the Company.

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130).  SFAS 130 establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components
in a full set of general purpose financial statements.  Under SFAS 130,
comprehensive income is divided into net income and other comprehensive income.
Other comprehensive income includes items previously recorded directly in
equity, such as unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale.
SFAS 130 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December
15, 1997.  Comparative financial statements provided for earlier periods are
required to be reclassified to reflect application of the provisions of the
Statement.

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS
131).  SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way public business enterprises
are to report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires those enterprises to report selected financial
information about operating segments in interim financial reports to
shareholders.  SFAS 131 is effective for financial statements for periods
beginning after December 15, 1997.

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 was
reflected as an expense in the Company's 1996 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.  During the first
quarter of 1997 the Company received notification from the Internal Revenue
Service that it will recognize the Ocean Federal Foundation as a Section
501(c)(3) exempt organization.  The notification confirms the Company's ability
to recognize a tax benefit on the $13.4 million charitable donation made in
connection with the Conversion on July 2, 1996.

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at June 30, 1997 were $1.448 billion, an increase of $144.3
million, or 11.1%, compared to $1.304 billion at December 31, 1996.

Investment securities available for sale increased by $34.3 million, to a
balance of $208.4 million at June 30, 1997, compared to a balance of $174.0
million at December 31, 1996, and mortgage-backed securities available for sale
increased by $61.3 million, to $456.9 million at June 30, 1997, from $395.5
million at December 31, 1996.  The increase in investment and mortgage-backed
securities available for sale was due to the continued deployment of a wholesale
leverage strategy, adopted in late 1996, designed to improve returns on invested
capital.  Wholesale leverage growth was funded through securities sold under
agreements to repurchase, which increased to $237.4 million at June 30, 1997
from $99.3 at December 31, 1996.  The strategy primarily involves the purchase
of adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities funded by short-term repurchase
agreements and the purchase of medium-term callable agency securities funded by
repurchase agreements with maturities through the call date.  Loans receivable,
net, increased by $47.2 million, or 7.0%, to a balance of $725.9 million at June
30, 1997, compared to a balance of $678.7 million at December 31, 1996.  The
increase was largely attributable to robust residential loan growth in the
Bank's market area.

Total deposits at June 30, 1997 were $960.8 million, an increase of $26.1
million, compared to $934.7 million at December 31, 1996.  Stockholders' equity
at June 30, 1997 was $235.4 million, compared to $252.8 million at December 31,
1996.  The reduction was due to the award of 335,523 shares of common stock to
directors and officers of the Bank under the Bank's 1997 Incentive Plan.  The
fair market value of the shares on February 4, 1997 (the date of shareholder
approval) was initially recorded as a reduction to stockholders' equity and
amortized to expense.  Additionally, the Company completed the repurchase of
452,956 shares, or 5%, of outstanding common stock.  These shares were held as
treasury stock at June 30, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

Net income increased to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997,
as compared to net income of $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, net income increased to $6.8
million from $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase
in net income is primarily due to investment earnings on the $163.3 million
raised from the conversion of Ocean Federal Savings Bank to the stock form of
ownership on July 2, 1996.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $24.3 million,
compared to $19.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, an increase
of $4.5 million, or 23.0%. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, interest
income was $46.9 million compared to $38.8 million for the same period in 1996,
an increase of $8.1 million, or 20.9%.   The increases in interest income were
the result of increases in the average size of the investment and mortgage-
backed securities available for sale portfolios, due to 1996 purchases resulting
from the investment of net Conversion proceeds and the investment, in 1997, of
funds received from wholesale borrowings.  Also, the average balance of loans
receivable increased $83.1 million and $77.5 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, as compared to the same prior year
periods.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $13.5 million,
compared to $11.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, an increase
of $1.9 million or 16.7%.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997 interest
expense was $25.5 million, compared to $22.8 million for the same period in
1996, an increase of $2.8 million or 12.1%.  The increase in interest expense
was primarily the result of an increase in the average outstanding balance of
total borrowings, as previously discussed, and a smaller average increase in
deposits.  The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities also increased to
4.71% and 4.64% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively,
as compared to 4.42% and 4.49% for the same prior year periods due to a greater
percentage of higher cost wholesale funding over retail deposit funding.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

For the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's provision for
loan  losses was $225,000 and $450,000, respectively, compared to $125,000 and
$250,000 for the same prior year periods.  The increase was due to overall loan
growth and the introduction of commercial business loans which generally carry
greater credit risk than the 1-4 family mortgage loans which have been the
Bank's historical focus.

OTHER INCOME

Other income was $575,000 and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1997, respectively, a decrease of $171,000 and $280,000, compared to
the same prior year periods.  Income from the net gain on sales of loans
available for sale decreased $48,000 and $224,000, for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods.  The
decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the sale of 30-year fixed rate
mortgage loans, which totalled $703,000 in 1997, as compared to $19.9 million in
1996.  Management determined that the significant capital position of the
Company mitigated the additional interest rate risk associated with retaining
these mortgages.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company retained
$18.9 million in conforming 30-year fixed rate loans which previously may have
been sold.  Other income decreased $69,000 and $61,000 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997, 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.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses were $5.8 million and $11.3 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, representing increases of $813,000 and
$1.8 million, compared to the same prior year periods. The increase in
compensation and employee benefits expense of $693,000 and $1.8 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, as compared to the same
prior year periods, was due to the expense associated with the amortization,
beginning in February 1997, of incentive stock awards and the higher expense
associated with the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan as a result of the
increase in the Company's stock price over its initial $20 per share cost.  The
ESOP expense was partly offset by freezing the future accrual of benefits under
the Bank's defined benefit pension plan and by eliminating matching
contributions under the Bank's 401K Plan.

Equipment expense increased by $170,000 and $338,000 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, compared to the same prior year
periods due to the establishment of two new branch offices and the upgrade of
computer equipment.

Federal deposit insurance expense declined by $373,000 and $853,000 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, compared to the same
prior year periods due to the reduced premiums charged subsequent to the Savings
Association Insurance Fund recapitalization during the third quarter of 1996.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense was $1.9 million and $3.9 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, compared to $1.3 million and $2.8
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively.  The
effective tax rate was relatively stable at 36.5% for the six months ended June
30, 1997, as compared to 36.4% for the same prior year period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest
payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, FHLB and other 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 Company 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 1997, the Company had $5.3 million of
outstanding overnight borrowings from the FHLB, representing a decrease from
$8.8 million at December 31, 1996.  The Company utilizes the overnight line from
time to time to fund short-term liquidity needs.  The Company also borrowed
$237.4 million at June 30, 1997 through securities sold under agreements to
repurchase, an increase from $99.3 million at December 31, 1996.  These
borrowings were used to fund a wholesale leverage strategy designed to improve
returns on invested capital.

The Company's cash needs for the six months ended June 30, 1997, were
principally provided by principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed
securities, deposit flows, and borrowings through securities sold under
agreements to repurchase.  The cash provided was principally used for investing
activities, which included the purchase of investment and mortgage-backed
securities and the origination of loans.  The Company also used funds to
purchase outstanding common stock, either to fund incentive awards or to hold as
treasury stock.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the cash needs of the
Company were primarily satisfied by investment maturities, principal payments on
loans and mortgage-backed securities and proceeds from common stock
subscriptions.  The cash was principally utilized for loan originations and
purchases of investment and mortgage-backed securities.

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, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Bank's
liquidity ratios were 11.25% and 17.5%, respectively, both in excess of the 5%
minimum regulatory requirement.

At June 30, 1997, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements
with tangible capital of $171.5 million, or 12.2%, of total adjusted assets,
which is above the required level of $21.0 million or 1.5%; core capital of
$171.5 million or 12.2% of total adjusted assets, which is above the required
level of $42.1 million, or 3.0%; and risk-based capital of $177.5 million, or
30.9% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $45.9
million or 8.0%.  The Bank is considered a "well capitalized" institution under
the Office of Thrift Supervision's prompt corrective action regulations.
