OTTI of $0.1 million and $0.5 million on two private-label MBS was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

The average net loan portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, comprised 71% and 74% of average interest-bearing assets, respectively. The securities investment portfolio for the same respective periods comprised 28% and 25% of average interest-earning assets, a shift reflecting the low demand environment for lending and the Companys deployment of excess liquidity into the lower yielding investment securities portfolio. The Company expects to redeploy excess liquidity into higher yielding loans in future quarters.
Insurance income decreased $0.2 million or 7.0% to $3.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. During the first nine months of 2011, insurance income decreased $0.2 million compared to the prior-year period. The decrease for the third quarter of 2011, over the prior quarter, is primarily attributable to a decline in commissions earned on the sale of life insurance products and to a lesser extent P&C revenue. Year to date, life commissions were $0.6 million below 2010 levels and bonus and contingency income were down $0.2 million. Employee benefits consulting income increased in 2011 as a result of an increased sales force.
At September 30, 2011, shareholders equity totaled $199.3 million, a $2.4 million decrease from December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to the net decline of $7.0 million relating to the redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock and the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock (see Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional), common and preferred dividends of $3.6 million and declines of $4.7 million in accumulated comprehensive income associated with changes in the value of hedge derivatives. Offsetting the declines was a $1.4 million increase in common surplus relating to stock-based compensation, sales of stock under the ESPP plan and stock exercises and net income of $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
