Net Interest Income
Our net interest margin of 4.12% for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 was a 15 basis point increase from the quarter ended December 31, 2004 and an increase of 4 basis points from prior quarter. The increase in the net interest margin was primarily the result of the increased yield on average earning assets attributable to the reallocation of earning assets from the investment portfolio to the higher yielding loan portfolio. The yield on average earning assets for the fourth quarter 2005 increased 87 basis points from the fourth quarter 2004 and 30 basis points from the third quarter 2005. Our net interest margin decreased 2 basis points year over year from 4.05% to 4.03%.

Noninterest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 increased 4.3% from the quarter ended December 31, 2004 but decreased 1.3% from the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Year-to-date noninterest income decreased 1.3% from prior year. The following table displays the quarterly and year-to-date activity in the various significant noninterest income accounts.

| Total noninterest income | $ | 8,556 | $ | 8,668 | $ | 8,207 | $ | 33,467 | $ | 33,917 |
The increase in recurring revenue sources from the year ended 2004 to the year ended 2005 including deposit related fees, loan related fees, and trust revenue was offset by the decline in nonrecurring other revenue items and a decline in gains on sales of loans due to the rising interest rate environment.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 of $19.9 million was a 6.3% increase from the $18.7 million for the fourth quarter 2004 and a 0.5% increase from the third quarter 2005. Year-to-date non-interest expense increased 5.3% to $78.6 million from the $74.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase in noninterest expense from prior year was primarily attributable to an increase of $3.0 million in personnel expense due to normal salary increases, the filling of budgeted key positions, and branch acquisitions and openings. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $1.3 million from 2004 to 2005 as a result of expenses relating to the three new branches which have been opened during the past 12 months, as well as the two branches acquired during the year.
Balance Sheet Review
The Company’s total assets grew 5.2%, or $140.1 million, during the year 2005 with $16.2 million of the growth occurring in the fourth quarter. Asset growth obtained through the Danville acquisition which occurred in June 2005 totaled $88.9 million. The loan portfolio grew $204.8 million during the year with growth occurring in all three major loan categories--commercial, residential real estate, and consumer loans. Loans obtained in the mid-year Danville acquisition totaled $73.7 million. The investment portfolio decreased $74.3 million during the year as maturing investments were used to partially fund the increased loan portfolio. Total deposits and repurchase agreements of $2.4 billion at December 31, 2005 reflects growth of 6.6%, or $146.9 million, over prior year-end. Deposit growth for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 totaled $10.4 million. Deposits obtained in the mid-year Danville acquisition totaled $69.8 million.
Shareholders’ equity of $253.9 million on December 31, 2005 was a 7.5% increase from the $236.2 million on December 31, 2004 and an increase of 1.5% from the $250.3 million on September 30, 2005. The Company's annualized dividend yield to shareholders as of December 31, 2005 was 3.38%.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming loans at December 31, 2005 were $21.4 million, or 1.0% of total loans, compared to $20.1 million, or 1.1% of total loans at December 31, 2004, and $21.8 million, or 1.0% of total loans at September 30, 2005. The increase of $1.3 million in nonperforming loans is primarily attributable to one loan which is 90 days past due and still accruing interest and has a USDA guarantee.
Foreclosed properties at December 31, 2005 were $5.4 million compared to $4.8 million on December 31, 2004 and $5.7 million at September 30, 2005. The year over year increase in foreclosed properties reflects normal fluctuations from residential real estate liquidations.
Year-to-date net loan charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased to $7.6 million, or 0.4% of average loans, from the $6.3 million, or 0.4% of average loans, for the year ended December 31, 2004. Net loan charge-offs for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 increased to $2.9 million from the $2.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2004 and the $1.9 million for the third quarter of 2005. The increase in net charge-offs was the result of one commercial customer, which had been a workout, for which a specific allocation had been made to the reserve for losses on loans. Our reserve for losses on loans as a percentage of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2005 decreased to 1.40% from the 1.42% at December 31, 2004 and the 1.41% at September 30, 2005.
