Interest income on loans declined for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to the $931.6 million decrease in the average loan balance compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2009. This decline is due to repayment or maturity of loans, increased nonperforming loans and charge-offs and sale of loans. Contributing to the decrease in interest income is the repayment and maturity of loans which is attributable to the low interest rate environment and the stricter loan underwriting guidelines implemented by the Bank in 2009 to reduce the risk of loan losses. The growth in nonperforming loans has also contributed to the decrease in interest income from loans since the Bank is not accruing interest on a majority of these loans. Nonperforming assets were $604.5 million at June 30, 2010 compared to $348.3 million at June 30, 2009. During the second quarter, there was $64.6 million of charge-offs which have also impacted the average balance of loans. The decrease in loan balances due to loan sales is discussed in Note 7, Loan Sales and Transactions of the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

Interest income on loans declined for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period a year ago, primarily due to the decline in the average loan balance. This decline is mostly due to the repayment or maturity of loans, an increase in nonperforming assets and charge-offs, and the sale of loans. The decrease in interest income from the repayment and maturity of loans is attributable to the low interest rate environment and the stricter loan underwriting guidelines implemented by the Bank in 2009 to reduce the risk of loan losses. The growth in nonperforming assets was $256.1 million when comparing the balance of $604.5 million at June 30, 2010 compared to $348.3 million at June 30, 2009 since the Bank is not accruing interest on a majority of these loans. Loan charge-offs of $148.9 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2010 have also reduced the balance of loans and interest income. The decrease in loan balances from the sale of loans is discussed in Note 7, Loan Sales and Transactions of the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.
