Other operating income | 266 | 186 | 80 | 43.0 % | ||||
Total | $ 871 | $ 956 | $ (85) | -8.9 % | ||||
Notable variances for the noninterest income table above are as follows:
- The decrease in secondary market origination fees was primarily due to the continued slowing of home refinancing and purchases, partially offset by prior year investments in personnel and related products and services.
- The decrease in bank-owned life insurance was primarily due to adjustments recorded during the second quarter of 2024 to adjust the recorded amount that can be realized under the life insurance contracts to their cash surrender values as reported by the insurance carriers.
- The increase in other operating income was primarily due to increases in income from other investments, partially offset by a decrease in merchant services fees.

Total | $ 5,217 | $ 5,634 | $ (417) | -7.4 % | ||||
Notable variances for the noninterest expense table above are as follows:
- The decrease in salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to managements focused efforts to streamline operations and improve efficiencies after the core conversion was completed during the first quarter of 2023. These efforts lead to a reduction in the work force that was implemented during the third quarter of 2023, with full cost savings becoming accretive in the fourth quarter of 2023. In addition, this decrease was driven by employee attrition during the second quarter of 2024, and lower expenses related to bonus accruals, payroll taxes, benefit costs including 401(k) contributions, and deferred incentive compensation, which were partially offset by merit increases, wage inflation, and a lower impact from deferred loan origination costs.
- The increase in data processing was primarily due to additional services, as well as volume based and other one-time charges.
- The decrease in legal and professional fees was primarily due to lower expenses related to professional fees, which was partially offset by higher expenses related to legal, audit and compliance.
- The decrease in FDIC insurance assessments was primarily due to a decrease in the Bank's assessment base, which was partially offset by an increase to the initial base deposit insurance assessment rate schedules that began with the first quarterly assessment period of 2023.
- The increase in merger related expenses was primarily due to legal fees, as well as other costs associated with the pending merger with First National that were incurred during the second quarter of 2024, as compared to no merger related expenses being incurred during the same period of 2023.
- The decrease in other noninterest expenses was primarily due to lower expenses related to insurance, deposits, meals and entertainment, marketing and advertising, miscellaneous other operating, and core deposit intangible amortization, which were partially offset by higher expenses related to state franchise taxes.

Notable variances for the noninterest income table above are as follows:
- The increase in service charges on deposit accounts was primarily due to an increase in ATM and debit card interchange fees, partially offset by small business and commercial accounts receiving higher earnings credit rates which offset previous fee opportunities.
- The decrease in secondary market origination fees was primarily due to the continued slowing of home refinancing and purchases, partially offset by prior year investments in personnel and related products and services.
- The decrease in bank-owned life insurance was primarily due to adjustments recorded during the first six months of 2024 to adjust the recorded amount that can be realized under the life insurance contracts to their cash surrender values as reported by the insurance carriers.
