Change in Net Interest Income and Rate/Volume Analysis

As shown in the following table, the increase in net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the second quarter and the first six months of 2012 over the same periods of 2011 was due to an increase in the level of interest-earning assets combined with a reduction in the Company's cost of funds, both of which were partially offset by lower yields on the Company's earning assets.

Gains on the sale of loans totaled $372,000 for the second quarter of 2012 versus $1.1 million for the same period in 2011. This decrease is primarily attributable to no sales of Small Business Administration (SBA) loans during the second quarter of 2012 compared to $943,000 of gains recorded in the same period last year on the sale of SBA loans.

Noninterest income for the first six months of 2012 totaled $14.9 million, down $1.2 million, or 8%, compared to the first half of 2011.

The Company experienced a lower level of noninterest expenses in most major categories during the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same quarter last year. The increased costs associated with foreclosed real estate for the second quarter of 2012 are the result of a $640,000 pre-tax loss incurred on the sale of a large foreclosed asset property. The large decrease in the other expenses line item for the second quarter of 2012 was related to the Company expensing $1.7 million during the second quarter of 2011 associated with modifications to its logos and with overall brand enhancement.

Nonperforming assets/total assets 1.62 %     1.58 %     2.24 %

Nonperforming assets increased slightly for the quarter by $478,000 to $39.6 million, or 1.62%, of total assets at June 30, 2012, from $39.1 million, or 1.58%, of total assets at March 31, 2012 but were down $13.9 million, or 26%, from $53.5 million, or 2.24%, of total assets one year ago. The change for the quarter was the result of an increase in nonperforming loan balances of $3.1 million during the second quarter of 2012, offset by a decrease in total foreclosed asset balances of $2.6 million. The increase in nonperforming loan balances resulted from the reclassification of two relationships to nonaccrual status, partially offset by the removal of three other relationships from nonaccrual. Total delinquent loans, including all nonaccrual loans, as a percentage of total gross loans outstanding, were 2.57% at June 30, 2012, down from 2.98% at the previous quarter end and 3.48% at June 30, 2011.

The allowance represented 1.75% of gross loans outstanding at June 30, 2012, compared to 1.61% at March 31, 2012 and 1.49% at June 30, 2011.
