Year-to-date noninterest income totaled $737,000, an increase of $395,000 compared to the same period in 2015, due to increases in deposit and other fees of $179,000, a $155,000 increase in gains on sales of investment securities and a $130,000 increase in gains on sales of other real estate owned. Noninterest expense reductions associated with the mid year 2015 branch consolidations and a third quarter 2015 core system conversion continue to be recognized through the second quarter of 2016 as noninterest expenses were $487,000 or 10%, lower year over year.
