The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of nonperforming loans outstanding, as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was 60.4% and 56.9%, respectively.

Gain on sale of loans decreased $20,117 (7%) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010. Deposit service charges decreased $39,221 (10%) due primarily to declines in overdraft charges, which is partially due to amendments to Regulation E regarding fees on debit card and ATM transactions.
