The increases in the 2009 net interest margin and noninterest income totals were more than offset by the increases in provision for loan losses and noninterest expenses. The Company recorded a $9.4 million provision for loan losses in first quarter 2009, and net charge-offs totaled $4.4 million during the same period. The provision for loan losses totaled $900,000 in the first quarter of 2008, and net charge-offs totaled $627,000. Further comparison of first quarter 2009 and 2008 shows that there was realized securities losses of $77,000 in the current period, whereas there were $308,000 in realized securities gains in the first quarter of 2008. Net income available to common stockholder was $183,000 for the first quarter of 2009, as compared to $5.6 million for the first quarter of 2008.

Average earning assets grew $147.8 million, or 5.6%, from March 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $128.1 million, or 5.6%, during the same period. The net interest margin (tax equivalent basis), expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, increased from 3.18% in the first quarter of 2008 to 3.37% in the first quarter of 2009. The average tax-equivalent yield on earning assets decreased from 6.28%, in the first quarter of 2008 to 5.27%, or 101 basis points, in the first quarter of 2009. At the same time, however, the cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 3.64% to 2.25%, or 139 basis points. The interest income produced from the growth in average earning assets more than offset the cost of funding that growth in deposit and other balances. Additionally, the general decrease in interest rates lowered interest expense to a greater degree than it reduced interest income.

(1) Interest income from loans is shown on a tax equivalent basis as discussed below and includes fees of $864,000 and $956,000 for the first quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively. Non-accrual loans are included in the above stated average balances.
