LOAN SERVICING ACTIVITIES
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Bank was servicing loans for others amounting to $100.9 million and $107.3 million, respectively, consisting of commercial and commercial real estate participations.  Management believes the Company receives adequate compensation for the servicing of the participation loans and therefore no servicing rights are generated by this activity.  Servicing loans for others generally consists of collecting payments, maintaining escrow accounts, disbursing payments to investors and foreclosure processing.  Loan servicing income includes servicing fees from investors and certain charges collected from borrowers, such as late payment fees.

Net gain on sale of loans was $2.0 million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The Bank is obligated to repurchase certain loans sold to others that become delinquent as defined by the various agreements.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, these obligations were approximately $30.2 million and $27.6 million, respectively.  Management believes it is remote that, as of December 31, 2011, the Company would have to repurchase these obligations and therefore no reserve has been established for this purpose.
