SUNTRUST  ANNUAL REPORT28
primarily due to recording a full year of amortization for NCF intangible
assets (primarily core deposit intangible) versus only one quarter of amor-
tization in .
The Company incurred merger expense totaling . million, com-
pared to . million as of December , . These charges represented
costs to integrate the operations of NCF and consist primarily of consulting
fees for systems and other integration initiatives, employee-related charges
and marketing expenditures. Effective April , , substantially all of
the systems of National Bank of Commerce were converted to SunTrust’s
systems. As of December , , the Company has recognized all merger
expense related to the NCF integration process. The total merger expense
for the NCF integration was . million, slightly above the Companys
original estimate of  million.
Other noninterest expense increased . million, or .%, com-
pared to . The increase was primarily due to impairment charges for
certain affordable housing properties, which are evaluated on a quarterly
basis for impairment. In addition, management evaluated its strategic
intent in this business, and determined in the third quarter of  that the
Company would likely pursue selling some of its holdings. SunTrust esti-
mated the fair value of these properties using a market valuation based on
the properties’ estimated future cash flows, debt structures, and tax credits,
along with the proposed sales price. This analysis indicated that the carry-
ing value of some of the properties exceeded the estimated fair value. For
the twelve months ended December , , these charges totaled .
million, compared to . million for the same period last year.
The efficiency ratio improved to .% in  compared to .%
in . The efficiency ratio excluding merger expense was .% in 
compared to .% in .
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes includes both federal and state income
taxes. In , the provision was . million, compared to . mil-
lion in. The provision represents an effective tax rate of.% for
 compared to .% for .
