ITHACA, Mich., Oct. 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Commercial National Financial Corporation (Pink Sheets: CEFC) today announced third quarter 2018 net income of $1,177,000, or $.30 per share compared to third quarter 2017 net income of $1,248,000, or $.31 per share. Return on Equity (ROE) was 13.68% for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 15.19% for the third quarter of 2017.
Total assets were $519.1 million at September 30, 2018 compared to $528.8 million at September 30, 2017. Total loans of $381.7 million decreased $7 million, or 1.8% year-over-year. The lending environment remains very competitive in our markets and we experienced several large commercial loan payoffs during 2018. However, our commercial loan pipeline is growing and we continue to develop new and existing customer relationships.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, net interest income decreased $283,000, or 7.5% primarily due to a higher cost of funds. Also, interest income in the prior year's quarter included $141,000 related to the payoff of several non-accrual loans. Non-interest income increased $82,000, or 14.9% primarily due to the sale of a former branch land parcel for a $148,000 gain, partially offset by lower mortgage banking revenue. We continue to see challenges in residential loan demand due to the limited supply of housing inventory. Operating expenses increased by $101,000, or 3.9% primarily due to higher wages and benefits expense. Federal income tax expense was lower by $306,000 primarily due to the decrease in the statutory rate from 34% to 21%.
