ITHACA, Mich., Oct. 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Commercial National Financial Corporation (Pink Sheets:CEFC) today announced 2016 third quarter net income of $673,000, or $.21 per share compared to 2015 third quarter net income of $762,000, or $.23 per share. Excluding merger-related expenses of the previously announced merger with Capital Directions, Inc., the holding company for Mason State Bank, and expenses related to the conversion to our new Online Banking system, third quarter 2016 net income was $809,000, or $.25 per share.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, net interest income increased $189,000, or 7% due to the growth in interest-earning assets, mainly loans. Loss share reimbursement revenue, a component of non-interest income, decreased by $69,000 primarily due to its linkage to the lower provision for loan losses expense. 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 $172,000 primarily due to merger-related costs of $99,000 as well as by $55,000 of data processing conversion costs related to our new Online Banking system.
Total assets were $399.8 million at September 30, 2016 compared to $381.2 million at September 30, 2015. Total loans grew $16.1 million, or 5.6% when comparing September 30, 2016 to September 30, 2015. The majority of loan growth occurred in the commercial loan portfolio. We have also experienced increased residential mortgage loan activity compared to last year with the continued 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. is progressing as planned and we expect the closing to be effective January 1, 2017. We will provide you with more details about the merger in the coming months.
Commercial National Financial Corporation operates through a single subsidiary bank, Commercial Bank, with nine full-service banking offices and two loan production offices.
