Net interest income was $8.0 million, a decrease of $0.413 million or 4.9% from the same period of 2012. This decrease was due to a 23 basis point decrease in the net interest margin (tax equivalent basis) from 3.46% (includes a tax equivalent adjustment of $152,000) in the first quarter of 2012 to 3.23% (includes a tax equivalent adjustment of $39,000) in the first quarter of 2013. The year over year decline in interest income was also driven by the impact of declining loan balances due to weak loan demand in its market areas, charge-offs, the natural amortization of the portfolio, and the sale of its credit card loan portfolio in September 2012. Income before income taxes was $1.429 million against $0.906 million a year ago. Return on average assets was 0.26% against 0.17% a year ago.
