This represents a 10% or $334,000 increase in net income and a 10% increase in diluted earnings per share.
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $1,295,000 or $.47 per diluted share compared to $1,156,000 or $.40 per diluted share for the same period in 2009. This represents a 12% or $139,000 increase in net income and an 18% increase in diluted earnings per share.
Net interest income was $11.1 million for the first nine months of 2010 compared to $11.8 million for the same period last year. Noninterest income was $3.5 million compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2009. These unfavorable variances were offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in operating expenses to $8.8 million for the first nine months of 2010 from $10.1 million for the same period in 2009, and a decrease in the provision for loan losses from $592,000 for the first nine months of 2009, to $435,000 for the first nine months of 2010.
Total assets increased by $3.7 million from $499.0 million at December 31, 2009 to $502.7 million as of September 30, 2010. Total deposits were $358.4 million as of September 30, 2010 compared to $352.6 million as of December 31, 2009. This represents a $5.8 million or 2% increase. Total loans decreased by $3.0 million or 1% from $307.6 million as of December 31, 2009 to $304.6 million as of September 30, 2010.
"During 2010, we have focused on maintaining strong asset quality, improving our operating efficiency, preparing our balance sheet for the risk of inflation, and expanding our residential mortgage loan business," said Michael P. Hosey, President and CEO. Hosey continued, "We continue to have strong asset quality ratios as we diligently monitor delinquent and nonperforming credits. Our net interest income is somewhat below last year's level as we have increased the amount of cash and short-term investments on our balance sheet, preparing to invest them in what management believes will be a future higher rate environment. Our operating expenses are $1.3 million or 13% below last year's level, an indication of our focus on maintaining operating efficiency. Additionally, we have expanded our mortgage business during 2010 by adding a full time originator in Tompkins County to bring our total originators to three in that market. We have also recently opened a loan production office in Homer, NY, and have added an experienced originator to increase our production in Cortland and Southern Onondaga County. We continue to focus on creating long-term shareholder value through continued earnings and earnings per share growth, maintaining asset quality, and managing interest rate risk."
