ITHACA, Mich., Jan. 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Commercial National Financial Corporation (Pink Sheets:CEFC) today announced 2016 fourth quarter net income of $599,000, or $.18 per share compared to 2015 fourth quarter net income of $599,000, or $.18 per share. Excluding merger-related expenses of the previously announced merger with Capital Directions, Inc., the holding company for Mason State Bank, fourth quarter 2016 net income was $738,000, or $.23 per share.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $2,598,000, or $.80 per share compared to net income for 2015 of $2,685,000, or $.83 per share. Excluding merger-related expenses, net income for 2016 was $2,891,000, or $.89 per share.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2016, net interest income increased $148,000, or 5.4% due to the growth in loans as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The provision for loan losses was negative $45,000 for the December 2016 quarter but was $109,000 higher than the negative $154,000 provision for the December 2015 quarter. Noninterest income increased $117,000 primarily due to higher loss share reimbursement revenue. Loss share reimbursement revenue represents an expected reimbursement from the FDIC of 80% of losses on covered loans acquired in 2010 in the FDIC-assisted transaction of MainStreet Savings Bank. Operating expenses increased by $72,000 primarily due to merger-related costs.
Total assets were $400.4 million at December 31, 2016 compared to $385.2 million at December 31, 2015. Total loans grew $23 million, or 8% year over year. The majority of loan growth occurred in the commercial loan portfolio. We also experienced increased residential mortgage loan activity compared to last year with the low interest rate environment and an uptick in home listings and new construction loans. We are continuing our efforts to increase loan volume while maintaining our credit quality standards.
The merger with Capital Directions, Inc. closed January 1, 2017. Immediately following the closing of the merger, Mason State Bank was merged into Commercial Bank. Commercial National Financial Corporation operates through a single subsidiary bank, Commercial Bank.
