The Company s third quarter provision for loan losses totaled $3.7 million, as compared to $1.7 million recorded in the third quarter of 2008.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $14.6 million as of September 30, 2009, an increase of $730,000, or 5%, over the total allowance at September 30, 2008 and compared to $16.7 million at December 31, 2008.

Interest-earning assets averaged $1.98 billion for the first nine months of 2009, compared to $1.87 billion for the same period in 2008. For the same two periods, total loans receivable including loans held for sale, averaged $1.49 billion in 2009 and $1.28 billion in 2008. Total securities averaged $487.8 million and $586.9 million for the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease, as previously mentioned with respect to the third quarter, was due to utilizing cash flows from the investment portfolio to fund loan growth and reduce the level of borrowed funds rather than redeploy those dollars back into investment securities.
