Total occupancy expenses have increased by 34% or $242,000 to $951,000 from $709,000. The Company opened two new facilities during the second quarter of 2009, one of which serves as our main location for the City of Raleigh, North Carolina and houses a branch, the Raleigh Commercial Lending team, our mortgage and investment divisions as well as the human resource staff. FDIC deposit insurance premiums increased by 201% or $207,000. The increase reflects the higher insurance assessment rates on deposits. Despite opening two new offices during the quarter and hiring additional support staff, total personnel expenses have increased by only 5% or $149,000 to $3.0 million compared to $2.9 million. Loan and collection expenses have increased by $114,000 or 172% primarily as a result of expenses related to collections, foreclosures and losses pursuant to the disposition of assets acquired. As previously mentioned, $2,000 in losses on the sale of other real estate was reclassified from non-interest income to non-interest expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2008.
Non-Interest Income. For the current nine-month period, non-interest income decreased by $88,000 to $2.7 million from $2.8 million. The decline in non-interest income is primarily attributable to transactions within our investment portfolio and non-recurring revenue recorded in the prior year period. In the current year, the Company recorded a write-down of $407,000 on a non-marketable equity security, which was partially offset by a $110,000 realized gain on the sale of available for sale debt securities, compared with a gain on sale of $16,000 in the prior year. Several components of non-interest income have experienced period-over-period increases as follows: $229,000 in earnings on cash value of bank owned life insurance, $224,000 in mortgage loan origination fees, $25,000 in customer service fees and $5,000 in service charges on deposit accounts. The increase in bank owned life insurance cash value is attributable to exchanging several older policies into higher yielding products and the increase in mortgage loan origination fee income is attributable to increasing the number of loan officers over the past twelve months. During 2008, there were three items totaling $238,000 reported as non-recurring revenue. Losses on the sale of other real estate owned amounting to $75,000 in 2008 were reclassified from non-interest income to non-interest expense.

The Company has added two branch locations and increased support staff during the past twelve months. The four largest components of non-interest expense, personnel, occupancy, data processing and FDIC deposit insurance premiums, represent $14.1 million of total non-interest expenses. Increases in these four categories accounted for 92% of the increase in non-interest expenses. Due to changes in the regular quarterly premiums and a $493,000 special assessment, FDIC deposit insurance premiums increased 351% from $295,000 to $1.3 million. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $579,000 or 29% from $2.0 million to $2.6 million due to the opening of two new branch offices during the first half of 2009.
