Non-interest income for the first half of 2010 was $4,712, a decrease of $151 or 3.1 percent from $4,863 in the first half of 2009. Service charge fee income for the first half of 2010 was $2,213, down $106 or 4.6 percent over the first half of 2009. The decline is related to a decline in the number of accounts paying service charges. In addition, the average service charge per account has decreased. Trust fee income was $921, up $184 or 25.0 percent over the same period in 2009. The increase is related to the recoveries in the financial markets and the related effect on assets under management, as well as a general increase in assets under management. ATM fee income for the first half of 2010 was $872, up $50 or 6.1 percent over the first half of 2009. This increase can be attributed to a 25 percent increase in foreign transaction fees charged during the first quarter of 2010. Computer center item processing fee income for the first half of 2010 has declined by $104 or 43.5 percent over the same period of 2009. Less handling of paper items and fewer items processed in general led to this decline. Bank owned life insurance contributed $239 to non-interest income during the first half of 2010. Other non-interest income was $330, down $167 or 33.6 percent over the same period in 2009. This decrease is due to the resolution, during the first quarter in 2009, of three loans obtained in a merger which resulted in income of $237. These loans were recorded at fair value at the time of the merger and subsequently settled at a higher value.
Non-interest expense for the first half of 2010 was $17,951, a decrease of $609 or 3.3 percent, from $18,560 reported for the same period of 2009. Salary and other employee costs were $8,368, down $52 or 0.6 percent as compared to the first half of 2009. This decrease is mainly due to a change in the commission structure, as well as staff reductions related to the merger of SCC with Citizens in June 2009.

State franchise taxes decreased by $35 compared to the same period of 2009. Amortization expense decreased $35, or 5.4 percent from the first half of 2009, as a result of scheduled amortization of intangible assets associated with mergers. FDIC assessments were down by $377 during the first half of 2010 compared to the same period of 2009. The decrease is due to the Special Emergency Assessment charged in 2009, but not in 2010. Professional service costs were $1,087, up $169 or 18.4 percent compared to the same period in 2009. The increase is due to consulting services for loan work outs and core banking software analysis and an increase related to hiring a consulting firm to assist with the resolution of certain larger collection items. Marketing expense accruals increased this year by $61 to $375 to accommodate planned advertising initiatives. Other operating expenses were $3,347, down $143 or 4.1 percent compared to the same period of 2009.
