Non-interest income for the first nine months of 2010 was $7,268, a decrease of $178 or 2.4 percent from $7,446 for the same period of 2009. Service charge fee income for the first nine months of 2010 was $3,410, down $179 or 5.0 percent over the same period of 2009. The decline is related to a reduced number of accounts using our overdraft services resulting in a decrease in overdraft income. Additionally, there was a decrease in the average fees collected per account. Trust fee income was $1,378, up $260 or 23.3 percent over the same period in 2009. The increase is related to the recoveries in the financial markets and the related effect on assets under management, as well as a general increase in assets under management. ATM fee income for the first nine months of 2010 was $1,344, up $110 or 8.9 percent over the first nine months of 2009. This increase can be attributed to a 25 percent increase in foreign transaction fees charged during the first quarter of 2010. Computer center item processing fee income for the first nine months of 2010 has declined by $116 or 37.3 percent over the same period of 2009. Fewer items processed in general, and fewer paper items processed, led to this decline. Bank owned life insurance contributed $354 to non-interest income during the first nine months of 2010. Net gain on sale of securities was $22, down $50, or 69.5 percent over the same period of 2009. Other non-interest income was $565, down $197 or 25.9 percent over the same period in 2009. This decrease is due to the resolution, during the first quarter in 2009, of three loans obtained in a merger which resulted in income of $237. These loans were recorded at fair value at the time of the merger and subsequently settled at a higher value.
Non-interest expense for the nine months of 2010 was $27,254, a decrease of $13, from $27,267 reported for the same period of 2009. Salary and other employee costs were $12,958, up $954 or 8.0 percent as compared to the same period of 2009. This increase is mainly due to a change in staffing and higher health care costs for the first nine months of 2010. The number of full-time equivalent employees increased during the first nine months of 2010 to 294.59, up 8.25, compared to the same period of 2009. Occupancy and equipment costs were $2,973, down $259 or 8.0 percent compared to the same period in 2009. Contracted data processing costs were $687, down $122, or 15.1 percent compared to last year. State franchise taxes decreased by $63 compared to the same period of 2009. Amortization expense decreased $53, or 5.5 percent from the nine months of 2009, as a result of scheduled amortization of intangible assets associated with mergers. FDIC assessments were down by $406 during the first nine months of 2010 compared to the same period of 2009. The decrease is due to the Special Emergency Assessment charged by the FDIC in 2009, but not in 2010. Professional service costs were $1,776, up $421 or 31.1 percent compared to the same period in 2009. The increase is due to consulting services for loan work outs and core banking software analysis and an increase related to hiring a consulting firm to assist with the resolution of certain larger collection items. Marketing expense accruals increased this year by $92 to $563 to accommodate planned advertising initiatives. ATM expenses were $537, down $15 or 2.7 percent compared to the same period in 2009. Other operating expenses were $4,899, down $562 or 10.3 percent compared to the same period of 2009.
