The improvement in results from the year-ago quarter was due to a $2,712,000 (14.5%) increase in fully tax-equivalent net interest income to $21,468,000, and a $1,121,000 (21.0%) increase in noninterest income. These contributing factors were partially offset by a $400,000 (400%) increase in provision for loan losses to $500,000 and a $1,309,000 (8.7%) increase in noninterest expense to $16,422,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

) was due to increased average balances of earning assets Earning Assets

 (up $182,749,000 or 12.5% to $1,646,777,000) and a 9 basis point increase in net interest margin (FTE) to 5.21% in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 compared to 5.12% in the year-ago quarter.

The $400,000 increase in provision for loan losses was mainly due to loan growth as credit quality remained excellent. Net loan charge-offs during the quarter were $82,000. Nonperforming loans, net of government agency guarantees, were $4,048,000 at March 31, 2006 compared to $2,961,000 and $4,072,000 at December December: see month.  31, 2005 and March 31, 2005, respectively. The Company's allowance for losses, which consists of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded commitments, was $18,457,000 or 1.32% of total loans outstanding and 456% of nonperforming loans.

The $1,121,000 (21.0%) increase in noninterest income from the year-ago quarter was mainly due to a $440,000 (14.5%) increase in service charges on deposit accounts to $3,474,000, a $180,000 (81.8%) gain in the increase in cash value of life insurance, and a $218,000 increase related to the change in value of mortgage servicing Mortgage servicing

 rights. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts was primarily due to the introduction of a business overdraft A check that is drawn on an account containing less money than the amount stated on the check.

The term overdraft is also used in reference to the condition that exists when vouchers 
 privilege product in March 2005 and growth in customer count. The gain in the increase in cash value of life insurance was due to higher earning rates on the related insurance policies. The increase related to the change in value of mortgage servicing rights is due to the adoption of market value accounting for mortgage servicing rights effective January 1, 2006 and the related change in market value from January 1, 2006 to March 31, 2006.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2006 increased $1,309,000 (8.7%) to $16,422,000 compared to the first quarter of 2005. Salaries and benefits expense increased $787,000 (9.4%) to $9,156,000. The increase in salaries and benefits expense was mainly due to annual salary increases, and new employees at the Company's recently opened branches in Lincoln Lincoln, city and district, England
