Norman L. Lowery, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our second quarter 2016 results. We continue to see increases in our interest income, have lower credit costs, and increases in most areas of our non-interest income. It was a very well-rounded quarter."
Book value per share was $33.89 at June 30, 2016, a 9.0% increase from the $31.09 at June 30, 2016. Shareholders' equity increased 3.6% to $413.2 million from $399.1 million on June 30, 2015.

Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $8.2 million compared to $9.8 million as of June 30, 2015. The decline was primarily related to the sale of the Corporation's insurance subsidiary, which reduced insurance commissions by $1.9 million quarter-over-quarter.
