Net Interest Income
The fully tax equivalent net interest income for the first quarter 2011 was $2.9 million compared to $3.2 million for the first quarter 2010. The decline in net interest income was due to the decline of average earning assets, offset by the continuing low interest rate environment which favorably affects our cost of deposits. Net interest margin for the first quarter 2011 was 3.07 percent, compared to 2.90 percent for the first quarter 2010. Interest income for the first quarter 2011 was $4.6 million compared to $5.7 million for the first quarter 2010, a decline of 18.9 percent. Interest expense for the first quarter 2011 was $1.7 million compared to $2.5 million for the first quarter 2010, a decline of 31.0 percent. The decline in interest income was due primarily to the average earning assets decline of $61.6 million, which was driven by sales and calls of the investment securities, along with an ongoing decline of the loan portfolio. The decline in interest expense was due to the lower interest rates on deposits, and the reduction of certificate of deposits by $44.5 million.
The following table provides the yield earned on average earning assets (on a tax equivalent basis), rates on average interest bearing liabilities, and net interest margin:
| Dollars in 000’s | For the Three Months Ended |

Non-interest income
Total non-interest income for the first quarter 2011 was $993.6 thousand, an increase of $102.5 thousand or 11.5% compared to $891.1 thousand for the first quarter 2010. The increase is due principally to the following:
| | · | Gain on sales of securities was $211 thousand for the first quarter 2011, an increase of $170.1 thousand compared to the first quarter 2010. |
| | · | Investment and insurance commissions was $89.1 thousand for the first quarter 2011, an increase of $75.7 thousand compared to the first quarter 2010. |
This improvement was offset by declines of $101.9 thousand and $22.3 thousand related to deposit fees and charges and gross mortgage loan sale commissions, respectively. Effective January 1, 2011, the Company ceased mortgage loan originations and anticipates mortgage loan sale commissions to be
minimal in 2011. The Company continues to review all sources of non-interest income to determine if and where enhancements may be recognized in future periods.
Non-interest expense
Total non-interest expense for the first quarter 2011 was $3.1 million, a decrease of $529.6 thousand or 14.7% compared to $3.6 million for the first quarter 2010. The decrease is due primarily to the following:
| | · | Salaries and benefits were $1.3 million for the first quarter 2011, a decrease of $188.2 thousand compared to the first quarter 2010. |
| | · | Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (“OTTI”) was $12.6 thousand, based on the independent valuations obtained for the first quarter of 2011, and represents a decrease of $63.7 thousand compared to the first quarter 2010. |
| | · | There was no OREO provision required for the first quarter 2011, a decrease of $409.9 thousand compared to the first quarter 2010. |
The Company continues to manage all expense categories to identify opportunities where savings may be recognized. Reducing expenses will improve current and benefit future periods and is consistent with the goal of improving the efficiency ratio.
Asset Quality
Total non-performing assets at the end of the first quarter were $40.9 million, a decrease of $2.8 million compared to $43.7 million at December 31, 2010 and an increase of $9.8 million compared to $31.2 million at March 31, 2010. The change from year-end to March 31, 2011 resulted from a decrease in loans on a non-accrual basis. The Company continues to focus on managing the loan portfolio and non-performing assets. The reserve for loan losses was $10.2 million or 4.09 percent of loans at March 31, 2011, compared to $10.5 million or 4.03 percent of loans at December 31, 2010 and $10.5 million or 3.63 percent of loans at March 31, 2010.
At the end of the first quarter 2011, the Bank remains “well capitalized” with the tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and leverage ratio and “adequately capitalized” with the total risk based capital ratio.
