The increase in the Companys effective tax rate during the first six months of 2012 when compared to the first six months of 2011 was primarily due to a 33% increase in the level of earnings before taxes and a decrease in federal tax credits related to the Companys investments in affordable housing limited partnerships, which were sold in January 2012. The impact of these changes on the Companys effective tax rate during first six months of 2012 was partially offset by the reversal of a previously established deferred tax valuation allowance related to capital loss carryforwards.

Net interest income (tax-equivalent) was $11.1 million in the first six months of 2012, compared to $10.7 million for the first six months of 2011, as net interest margin improvement offset a decline in average interest-earning assets of 2%.
