(5) The Bank closed on its purchase of three branches from Integra Bank on June 4, 2010. As a result of that purchase the Bank acquired loans with a fair value of $45.9 million. Under ASC 805-20-30, the acquired loans are accounted or at fair value, while there is a credit risk component to the fair value measurement, there is no allowance for loan loss included in this calculation.
Net interest income increased $279,000, or 9.0%, to $3.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $3.1 million for the prior year quarter. The increase is the result of a an increase in total loans and a decrease in the average interest rate paid on interest bearing liabilities from 1.99% to 1.50%, partially offset by an increase in total deposits and a decrease in the average rate earned on interest earning assets from 5.10% to 4.34%. Changes in interest rates are reflective of changes in overall market rates. Increases in loans and deposits are primarily due to the acquisition of three branches from Integra Bank on June 4, 2010.
Noninterest expense increased $376,000, or 13.1%, to $3.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, from $2.9 million in the prior year quarter. The increase is primarily the result of higher employee compensation expenses and intangible asset amortization in the current year quarter, partially offset by provision for loss on the sale of real estate owned in the prior year quarter. The increases in employee compensation expenses and intangible asset amortization are due to the aforementioned branch acquisition.
The provision for loan losses was $719,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $622,000 for the same quarter in the prior year. On an ongoing basis, Management evaluates the Bank's allowance for loan loss for adequacy. As part of this evaluation, Management considers the amounts and types of loans, concentrations, the value of underlying collateral, current economic conditions, and other relevant information, such as the size of the overall portfolio. Based upon this evaluation, Management calculates the provision for loan loss in the current period. The increase in the current year quarter is primarily attributable to an increase in nonperforming loans. Nonperforming loans increased from $10.6 million at June 30, 2010 to $18.7 million at September 30, 2010, compared to a decrease in nonperforming loans from $6.0 million at June 30, 2009 to $4.0 million at September 30, 2009.
Total assets were $499.1 million at September 30, 2010, compared to $492.1 million at June 30, 2010. The increase is primarily due to a $12.4 million increase in cash, partially offset by a $4.1 million decrease in loans. The increase in cash is a result of more loans being sold to Freddie Mac in the current quarter. The decrease in loans is primarily the result of more loans being sold to Freddie Mac in the current year. Total liabilities were $443.5 million at September 30, 2010, compared to $436.6 million at June 30, 2010. The increase is a result of a $7.0 million increase in deposits. The increase in deposits is attributable to increased advertising and promotional efforts in our existing market area. Total stockholders' equity was $55.7 million at September 30, 2010, compared to $55.5 million at June 30, 2010. The increase is primarily the result of an increase of $244,000 in unrealized gains on available for sale securities and net income of $271,000, partially offset by dividends paid of $351,000.
