These originations and subsequent sales resulted in $2.6 million of gains, which compares to gains of $0.99 million for the first six months of 2011. The 160 percent increase in gains from mortgage sales in 2012 reflect the combined impact of a 132 percent increase in mortgages sold and a 20 basis point, or 12.1 percent, increase in the spread to 1.85 percent, compared to the year-earlier period.
