ITHACA, Mich., April 27, 2017 -- Commercial National Financial Corporation (OTC:CEFC) today announced a 2017 first quarter net loss of $206,000, or $.05 per share compared to 2016 first quarter net income of $636,000, or $.20 per share. Excluding merger-related expenses of the previously announced merger with Capital Directions, Inc., the holding company for Mason State Bank, 2017 first quarter net income was $803,000, or $.21 per share.
Total assets were $535.9 million at March 31, 2017 compared to $408.2 million at March 31, 2016. Total loans grew $97.3 million, or 33.5% year over year. Approximately $75.4 million of loan growth related to the merger with Mason State Bank with the remainder related to commercial loan originations. We are continuing our efforts to increase loan volume while maintaining our credit quality standards.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, net interest income increased $887,000, or 32.7% primarily due to the growth in loans mentioned above as compared to the March 31, 2016 quarter. Non-interest income increased $68,000 or 19.2% over the same time frame primarily due to higher service charges and other income levels as a result of combining both banks. Operating expenses increased by $2.2 million mostly due to merger-related obligations and costs related to the conversion of Mason State Bank data processing systems to ours.
President and CEO Kevin D. Collison stated “We are pleased to have closed the merger with Capital Directions, Inc. The first quarter results were significantly affected by the remaining merger-related expenses as well as the costs to convert Mason State Bank’s data processing systems to ours. We sincerely appreciate the long hours our staff have put in to make the conversion as seamless as possible for our customers. We look forward to seeing the benefits of this merger in the coming months.”
