On a per share basis net income was unchanged at $ .38.The change in net income in the first half 2010 is the result of a lower realized gains on the sale of securities and mortgage banking income, offset, almost completely, by higher net interest income and a reduction in the provision for loan losses.Mauch Chunk Trust Financial Corp. is the parent company of the Mauch Chunk Trust Company, an independent community bank with its main office located at 1111 North St., Jim Thorpe, Carbon County, PA.
