ITHACA, Mich., July 27, 2017 -- Commercial National Financial Corporation (Pink Sheets:CEFC) today announced second quarter 2017 net income of $1,043,000, or $.26 per share compared to second quarter 2016 net income of $689,000, or $.21 per share. Second quarter 2016 net income would have been $750,000, or $.23 per share when excluding merger-related expenses of the merger with Capital Directions, Inc., the holding company for Mason State Bank.
Total assets were $522.7 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $397.9 million at June 30, 2016. Total loans grew $86.8 million, or 29.3% year over year. Most of the loan growth was 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 June 30, 2017, net interest income increased $865,000, or 31.2% primarily due to the growth in loans mentioned above as compared to the June 30, 2016 quarter. Non-interest income increased $159,000 or 37.8% over the same time frame primarily due to higher service charges and other income levels as a result of combining both banks. In addition, a $61,000 gain was recognized related to the settlement and termination of the Shared Loss Agreement with the FDIC. Operating expenses increased by $507,000 mostly due to combining both banks. The increase in operating expenses also included $42,000 related to the upcoming closing of the Lake Odessa and Leslie branches.
Commercial National Financial Corporation operates through a single subsidiary bank, Commercial Bank. Visit www.commercial-bank.com to view the latest consolidated Annual Report, news releases and other information about CEFC and Commercial Bank.
