The $801,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses from the first nine months of 2008 to the first nine months of 2009 was largely in response to the $743,000 decline in net charge-offs for the respective nine month periods.

Net income was $956,000 for the third quarter of 2009, a 2.2% increase from the third quarter of 2008 net income of $935,000. Earnings per share on a fully diluted basis were $0.26 in 2009 compared with $0.26 in 2008. Profitability as measured by return on average assets decreased from 0.73% in the third quarter of 2008 to 0.70% for the same period in 2009. Profitability as measured by return on average equity increased from 8.85% to 8.87% over the same respective third quarters in 2008 and 2009. The increase in net income was primarily due to the $551,000 increase in net interest income in the third quarter of 2009 compared with the third quarter of 2008. This was partially offset by a $246,000 permanent impairment loss on the Banks investments in pooled trust preferred securities, as well as increased FDIC insurance expense.

Net interest income increased $551,000 or 11.2% to $5.47 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 from $4.92 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The increase in net interest income was partially due to the impact of total average earning assets increasing 6.8% from $470.9 million during the third quarter of 2008 to $502.7 million during the third quarter of 2009. In addition, the Companys net interest margin increased from 4.15% in the third quarter of 2008 to 4.32% in the third quarter of 2009.

This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in overall market rates as well as the suspension of interest income on two of the Banks investments in pooled trust preferred corporate bonds. Interest income on deposits in other banks decreased $9,000 from third quarter 2008 to third quarter 2009.

Total interest expense decreased $727,000 or 30.9% from $2.35 million for the third quarter of 2008 to $1.62 million for the third quarter of 2009 primarily due to the overall decline in shorter-term market interest rates.
