Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first quarter 2006, on a taxable equivalent basis, increased to $14.2 million as compared to $13.7 million for the same period in 2005. The net interest margin ("margin") was 3.84% for the quarter versus 4.14% for the same period in 2005. The margin was primarily affected by an increase in the cost of interest bearing deposits and both the rate paid on and the volume of borrowings increased. The increase in the borrowing costs was primarily a result of an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances. During the second quarter of 2005, $20 million of trust preferred securities were issued by the Company's subsidiaries at an average rate of 6.10%. The trust preferred securities were issued as part of our overall liquidity and capital management plans and in support of our continued loan growth.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2006 as compared to $2.2 million in 2005, or a 22.3% increase. Service charges on deposits were $892 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as compared to $883 thousand for the same period in 2005. Gains on sales of loans and leases were $261 thousand, an increase of $105 thousand or 11.5%. The gain on the sale of the guaranteed portion of Small Business Administration loans was $206 thousand, an increase of $82 thousand or 66.1%. In addition to the gain on sales of SBA SBA

In addition, legal fees were approximately $301 thousand for the quarter, an increase of $116 thousand or 63% from the prior year.

Total Loans

At March 31, 2006, total gross loans were approximately $1.12 billion, an increase of $18.1 million, or 6.6% on an annualized basis as compared to December December: see month.  31, 2005. The increase in loans was principally a result of a $24.1 million net growth in our commercial loan portfolio. Commercial mortgages and construction loans expanded $16.3 million and $10.4 million, respectively, offset somewhat by a decrease of $2.6 million in commercial and financial loans.

Net charge-offs to average loans and leases for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was 0.09%. The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses ("ALLL ALLL Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses ") totaled $10.6 million at March 31, 2006, of which approximately $1.0 million was a result of the acquisition of Franklin Bank during the fourth quarter of 2005. The ALLL at March 31, 2006 represented 299.7% of non-performing loans and leases and 0.94% of total loans and leases.
