Interest Income. Interest income increased $2.9 million, or 26.5%, to $14.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 from $11.0 million for the comparable 2011 period. The increase resulted primarily from additional earning assets added as a result of the merger with First Star Bank in the fourth quarter of 2012. Average interest earning assets increased $266.9 million and the average yield on interest earning assets increased two basis points. The average yield on interest earning assets was 4.25% for the three months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to 4.23% for the comparable 2011 period.

In addition, average investment securities increased $62.3 million, mortgage-backed securities increased $12.2 million, Federal Home Loan Bank stock increased $3.6 million and other interest earning assets decreased $16.1 million. The decrease in other interest earning assets was primarily due to a corresponding decrease in the average balance of cash held at FHLBank Pittsburgh. Interest income for the fiscal first quarter 2013 also includes the recapture of approximately $500,000, before tax, of a previously recorded fair value adjustment to a loan acquired as part of the First Star acquisition. This loan was fully repaid in the first quarter. An additional $473,000, before tax, was recaptured during the quarter related to similar loans that were partially repaid.
