Non-performing assets totaled $5.3 million, or 0.52% of total assets, at September 30, 2011, compared to $5.3 million, or 0.79% of total assets, at December 31, 2010 and $4.1 million, or 0.48% of total assets, at September 30, 2010.  Non-performing assets consisted of fourteen residential mortgages totaling $4.4 million, two commercial mortgages totaling $240,000, two commercial loans totaling $118,000, three consumer equity loans totaling $264,000 and two real estate owned properties totaling $313,000.  Specific reserves recorded for these loans at September 30, 2011 were $930,000.

Income Statement Analysis

Net interest income increased $837,000, or 14.1%, to $6.8 million for the third quarter of 2011 compared to $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2010.  Net interest margin increased 16 basis point in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 to 3.55% from 3.39% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  On a linked-quarter basis, net interest margin increased 6 basis points from 3.49% in the second quarter of 2011.  The increase in net interest income for the third quarter was the result of an increase in average interest-earning assets of $63.4 million and a decrease of 46 basis points in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 1.66% from 2.12% offset by a decrease of 16 basis points in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.24% from 5.40% and an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $115.3 million.

Net interest income increased $940,000, or 5.2%, for the first nine months of 2011 to $18.9 million compared to the same period in the prior year.  An increase in net interest margin of 6 basis points to 3.50% from 3.44% was the result of an increase in average interest-earning assets of $23.9 million and a decrease of 47 basis points in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities to 1.71%, offset by an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $86.6 million and a decrease of 23 basis points in the average yield on earning assets to 5.22%.

Other income increased $98,000 and $68,000 to $934,000 and $2.6 million, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010.  The increase in other income resulted from increases in deposit and loan account fees and debit card commissions offset by decreases in cash surrender value of life insurance over the prior period.

Other expenses increased $1.2 million, or 27.8%, to $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2010.  Other expenses increased $1.8 million, or 14.0%, to $15.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Costs associated with the merger with CBCH Financialcorp and its subsidiary Select Bank accounted for increases totaling $433,000 for the third quarter of 2011 and $736,000 for the first nine months of 2011.  Increases of $268,000 resulted from the acquired operations of Select Bank.  The remaining $501,000 for the third quarter and $831,000 for the first nine months of 2011 resulted from normal increases in year over year operations.
