Quarterly Performance
Net interest income totaled $4.8 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $5.1 million for the same period one year ago. The net interest margin was 3.88% for the second quarter of 2012 compared to 4.00% for the same period one year ago, as a result of a change in the earning asset mix. During the quarter, the Bank’s commercial real estate loan balances decreased and its residential real estate loan balances increased.
The provision for loan losses was $650 thousand, which resulted in a total allowance for loan losses of $14.0 million or 3.64% of total loans at June 30, 2012. This compared to a provision for loan losses of $3.6 million and an allowance for loan losses of $13.8 million, or 3.32% of total loans, at the end of the same quarter in 2011. Net charge-offs for the period declined to $287 thousand from $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2011. Non-performing assets decreased 17% to $16.1 million at June 30, 2012 compared to June 30, 2011.
Noninterest income increased slightly to $1.5 million compared to the same period one year ago. Increases in revenues from fees for other customer services and gains on sales of loans were partially offset by decreases in ATM and check card income, trust and investment advisory fees and service charges on deposit accounts when comparing the periods.
Noninterest expense decreased slightly to $4.4 million when compared to the same period in 2011, excluding the provision for other real estate owned and net gains on sale of other real estate owned.

The provision for other real estate owned totaled $168 thousand for the second quarter compared to $46 thousand for the same period in 2011.

(1) The efficiency ratio is computed by dividing noninterest expense excluding the provision for other real estate owned and gains and losses on other real estate owned by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and noninterest income excluding gains and losses on sales of securities and premises and equipment. Tax equivalent net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit realized from interest income that is nontaxable to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. The tax rate utilized in calculating the tax benefit for 2012 and 2011 was 34%. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis was $4,839 and $5,160 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $9,979 and $10,170 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Noninterest income excluding gains and losses on sales of securities and premises and equipment was $1,461 and $1,444 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $2,858 and $2,784 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides investors with important information regarding operational efficiency. Such information is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be construed as such. Management believes such financial information is meaningful to the reader in understanding operational performance, but cautions that such information not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP.
