The increases in recurring revenue sources year over year 2005 to 2006 in deposit related fees and trust revenue were offset by declines in gains on sales of loans due to the interest rate environment and loan related fees.
Noninterest Expense
Year-to-date noninterest expense increased 2.3% from $78.6 million to $80.4 million. The most significant components of this increase were a 3.8% increase in personnel expenses due to normal annual salary adjustments and health care costs and a 6.8% increase in occupancy and equipment due to expenditures for new branch locations and technology and communication upgrades to the Company's core operating systems. Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 of $20.5 million was a 3.1% increase from the $19.9 million for the fourth quarter 2005 and a 2.8% increase from the $20.0 million for the third quarter 2006.
Balance Sheet Review
The Company’s total assets grew $118.7 million or 4.2% during 2006 with $75.4 million of the growth occurring during the fourth quarter. Asset growth during 2006 was all organic growth and is inclusive of the reduction of $40 million in the investment portfolio during the third quarter to payoff a maturing Federal Home Loan Bank advance. Loans outstanding at December 31, 2006 of $2.2 billion grew $60.1 million or 2.9% during the year. Loan growth for the quarter was $13.3 million, an annualized growth rate of 2.5%. Deposits, including repurchase agreements, of $2.5 billion at December 31, 2006 were a 5.3% or $127.1 million increase from December 31, 2005 and an annualized 10.6% or $65.0 million increase from September 30, 2006. The deposit growth in excess of loan growth was invested in our investment portfolio and federal funds sold. Federal funds sold almost doubled year over year and quarter over quarter with increases of $31.0 million and $37.7 million, respectively, while the investment portfolio increased 5.0% or $23.7 million year over year and an annualized 7.2% or $8.8 million during the quarter.

Asset Quality
Nonperforming loans at December 31, 2006 were $14.2 million, a 33.5% decrease from $21.4 million at December 31, 2005 and a 9.2% decrease from the $15.7 million at September 30, 2006.
