For the six months ended June 30, 2010, non-interest income (loss) totaled ($89) thousand compared to $413 thousand for the same period a year ago. The decrease primarily reflects a $136 thousand net loss on sale of loans, a $197 thousand higher provision for losses on loans held-for-sale and a $109 thousand lower service charges for the first six months of 2010.

Our gross loan portfolio decreased to $441.8 million at June 30, 2010 from $453.1 million at December 31, 2009. The $11.3 million decrease in our loan portfolio primarily consisted of a $10.5 million decrease in our commercial real estate loan portfolio, a $5.8 million decrease in commercial loans and a $2.8 million decrease in our one-to-four family residential real estate loan portfolio, which decreases were partially offset by an $8.7 million increase in our multi-family residential real estate loan portfolio.

At June 30, 2010, the allowance for loan losses was $18.5 million, or 4.18% of total gross loans receivable, excluding loans receivable held-for-sale, compared to $20.5 million, or 4.52% of total gross loans receivable, excluding loans receivable held-for-sale, at December 31, 2009. The $2.0 million decrease in the allowance for loan losses from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010 was due to net loan charge-offs of $2.9 million partially offset by $883 thousand of provisions for loan losses for the first six months of 2010. Of the $2.9 million loan charge-offs during the first six months of 2010, $1.7 million were specifically reserved for at year-end 2009 and $1.2 million were specifically reserved for in 2010.

During the latest quarter, non-accrual loans declined by $1.2 million from the balance at the end of the first quarter of 2010 and by $2.1 million from the balance at the end of 2009. These loans consist of delinquent loans that are 90 days or more past due and troubled debt restructurings that do not qualify for accrual status. The non-accrual loans included $19.1 million of commercial real estate loans, $5.1 million of one-to-four family residential real estate loans, $2.3 million of multi-family residential real estate loans, $4.0 million of commercial loans and $2.3 million of secured consumer loans.
