In comparison to the second quarter of 2008, the second quarter of 2009 experienced a decrease in interest expense of approximately $374 thousand. This decrease coupled with an increase of approximately $279 thousand in interest income resulted in an increase to net interest income of over $650 thousand. The increase in net interest income is reflective of managements focus to create a more efficient balance sheet by increasing the interest earning assets as well as increasing the yield on assets already earning income. The increased net interest income more than offset the increased FDIC insurance premiums, the FDIC special assessment, and costs associated with expansion.

On a per share basis, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.04 for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.02 for the second quarter of 2008.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, net interest income reached $4.2 million compared to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This increase is also attributable to the increase in interest income from loans, including fees and the decrease in interest expense. Interest income from loans, including fees, securities and federal funds sold reached $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. At the same time, interest expense decreased from $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Non-interest income, primarily attributable to service fees, was $48 thousand during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to $81 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, non-interest income totaled $86 thousand as compared to $145 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2008. As these fees are related, primarily, to deposits accounts, the decrease between periods is reflective of decreased customer activity for non-deposit related items.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, non-interest expense reached approximately $3.5 million from approximately $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
