Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them. For the three month period ended September 30, 2012, the growth in net interest income has been, primarily, powered by increased interest income from loans, including fees. Interest income on loans increased by $716 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period last year. This increase in interest income was due to a $63.3 million increase in the average balance of loans during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, up to $409.7 million as compared to the third quarter of 2011 average loan balance of $346.4 million, offset somewhat by a decrease in the average rate earned on loans, from 5.53% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 down to 5.38% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of 15 basis points. Interest expense increased by $361 thousand year over year and was due in most part to an increase in the average balance of interest bearing deposits of $106.2 million, up to $426.0 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 from $319.8 million on average for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The average interest rate paid on interest bearing deposits decreased 4 basis points to 1.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from 1.50% for the same period last year.

Non-interest income (loss) consists primarily of fees and service charges, gains on the sales of securities and a loss on the sale of OREO. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, non-interest income increased by $234 thousand as compared to the three months ended September 20, 2011. The increase was due to a gain from the sales of securities during the 2012 third quarter in the amount of $238 thousand. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, non-interest income increased by $403 thousand when compared to the same period in 2011. This gain was due to the above mentioned gains on the sales of securities in the third quarter of 2012 and a loss on the sale of OREO of $203 thousand during the first nine months of 2011.
