The $2.1 billion-asset Toms River, N.J., company also said late Friday that it would no longer issue any subprime loans and would report a material weakness in its upcoming 10-K filing. OceanFirst announced an additional reserve of $9.6 million that resulted in a fourth-quarter loss of 13 cents a share and full-year earnings of $1.07 a share. Both figures were 52 cents lower than originally reported.
