Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Trustees

Retirement Plan for OceanFirst Bank:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the Retirement Plan for OceanFirst Bank (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Plan’s management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Retirement Plan for OceanFirst Bank as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule H, Line 4 (i) — Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2008 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements, taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2008 and 2007

(1)	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Retirement Plan for OceanFirst Bank (the Plan) for employees of OceanFirst Bank (OceanFirst) have been prepared on an accrual basis and present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in those net assets.

(b)

Investments in Insurance Company Pooled Separate Accounts, Stock Fund and Participant Loans

Under the terms of an agreement with Diversified Investment Advisors (Diversified), a subsidiary of AUSA Life Insurance Company (AUSA), and OceanFirst, Diversified, the Plan’s trustee, maintains separate pooled accounts into which certain of the contributions made by OceanFirst on behalf of its employees and contributions made by OceanFirst employees are invested. Additionally, OceanFirst has appointed State Street Bank as custodian for the OceanFirst Financial Corp. stock fund. Investments are stated at current fair value based on current market quotations. Interest and dividend income is recognized in the period earned. Purchases and sales are recorded on the trade date.

Under the terms of the agreement with Diversified, contributions are also invested in AUSA’s Guaranteed Interest Contract Fund (GIC Fund). The GIC Fund is stated at fair value in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No. AAG-INV-1 and Statement of Position 94-4-1. The contract value of the GIC Fund represents contributions made to the GIC Fund plus interest based on the contract rate, less distributions from and administrative expenses of the contract. There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. The crediting interest rate is based upon a formula agreed upon with the issuer and reset annually. The crediting interest rate for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was 3.50% and 4.25%, respectively.

Participant loans receivable are carried at amortized cost which does not differ materially from fair value as determined by using a discounted cash flow model based on current market rates of interest.

(c)

Risks and Uncertainties

The assets of the Plan are primarily financial instruments which are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Plan’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services as measured by the consumer price index. Investments in funds are subject to risk conditions of the individual mutual fund objectives, stock market, interest rates, economic conditions, and world affairs. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for Plan benefits.

Recent market conditions have resulted in an unusually high degree of volatility and increased the risks and short-term liquidity associated with certain investments held by the Plan, which could impact the value of investments after the date of these financial statements.

(d)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(e)

Related-Party Transactions

Certain Plan investments are managed by Diversified. Diversified is the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

(f)

Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. The Company adopted the statement effective January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Plan’s operations. In February 2008, Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” was issued. FSP No. 157-2 delayed the application of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until January 1, 2009. In October 2008, FSP No. 157-3 “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for that Asset is Not Active” was issued which clarifies the applications of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active. In April 2009, FSP 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” was issued. This FSP provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.

Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

(6)	Investments

The following is a summary of individual investments, at fair value, that represent 5% or more of net assets available for plan benefits at December 31, 2008 and 2007:


	December 31
	2008		2007
Insurance Company Pooled Separate Accounts:
OceanFirst Financial Corp. Stock Fund	$	3,723,411	$	3,417,534
Guaranteed Interest Contract Fund		1,202,382		838,116
Large Value Fund		1,004,476		1,958,488
Large Core Fund		876,769		1,501,698
Small Core Fund		701,083		1,232,692
International Equity Fund		N.A.		1,041,174

(7)	Fair Value Measurements

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair market measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or the most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.

SFAS No. 157 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement costs). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs—Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlations or other means.

RETIREMENT PLAN FOR

OCEANFIRST BANK

Notes to Financial Statements Continued

Level 3 Inputs—Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. While management believes the Plan’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Insurance Company Pooled Separate Accounts – The investment is valued at a daily calculated unit value based on observable inputs.

Guaranteed Interest Contract Fund – The investment is valued based upon observable inputs.

Common Stock – The investment is valued at a daily calculated unit value based on observable inputs.

Participant Loans Receivable – The loans receivable are valued at amortized cost which does not differ materially from fair value as determined by using a discounted cash flow model based on current market rates of interest.

Fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market data as well as the best information available about the security. Illiquid credit markets have resulted in inactive markets for certain securities. As a result, there may be limited observable market data for these assets. Fair value estimates for securities for which limited observable market data is available are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, liquidity discounts, credit and interest rate risks, and other factors. These estimates involve significant uncertainties and judgments and cannot be determined with precision. As a result, such calculated fair value estimates may not be realizable in a current sale or immediate settlement of the security.

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2008 segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:


	Level 1 Inputs		Level 2 Inputs		Level 3 Inputs		Total Fair Value
Insurance Company Pooled Separate Accounts	$	—	$	6,256,188	$	—	$	6,256,188
