of 2015 and $478,000 for the first half of 2015.  Total expense related to this initiative is estimated to be approximately $1.1 million to $1.3 million for 2015.”

·                The Company recorded a credit to the provision for loan losses of $1.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015, which was primarily due to $840,000 of recoveries on

previously charged-off loans, a decrease in the loan portfolio of $25.0 million, of which $17.6 million was commercial loans, and loan pay downs on two classified loans. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.45% at June 30, 2015, compared to 1.46% at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

·                 Nonperforming assets continued to decrease to $5.8 million, or 0.53% of total assets, at June 30, 2015 compared to $6.2 million, or 0.55% of total assets, at March 31, 2015 and $6.3 million, or 0.57% of total assets, at December 31, 2014.  Delinquent loans totaled $660,000 at June 30, 2015, compared to $780,000 at March 31, 2015 and $258,000 at December 31, 2014.  There was only one delinquent commercial loan totaling $49,000 at June 30, 2015.

·              Noninterest income increased $294,000 to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $973,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 primarily due to an increase of $117,000 in equity in earnings of affiliate due to higher mortgage volumes, an increase of $47,000 in service charges and other fee income due to increased loan fees.

·              Noninterest expense increased $376,000, or 3.3%, to 11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $11.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  This increase was primarily due to the Company incurring $478,000 of system conversion costs offset by a decrease of $301,000 in assets acquired through foreclosure expense.  System conversion costs for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are captured in the following financial statement categories:  Salary, benefits and other compensation ($70,000), data processing costs ($247,000), professional fees ($147,000) and other ($14,000).

·              Income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2015 includes the reversal of an $182,000 valuation allowance on certain state deferred tax assets, which occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015.  The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 28.5%.  Excluding this reversal, the effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 30.9% compared to 31.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
