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 first quarter over the same period of 2013 was primarily due to an increase in the level of interest earning assets, offset partially by a lower net interest margin. Lower yields on interest earning assets were partially offset by a reduction in the Company's cost of funds.
