ITHACA, Mich., Oct. 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Commercial National Financial Corporation (Pink Sheets:CEFC) today announced third quarter 2017 net income of $1,248,000 or $.31 per share compared to third quarter 2016 net income of $673,000, or $.21 per share.  Third quarter 2016 net income would have been $809,000, or $.25 per share when excluding merger-related expenses for the merger with Capital Directions, Inc., the holding company for Mason State Bank.

Total assets were $528.8 million at September 30, 2017 compared to $399.8 million at September 30, 2016.   Total loans grew $87.3 million, or 29.2% 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 September 30, 2017, net interest income increased $879,000, or 30.4% primarily due to the growth in loans mentioned above as compared to the September 30, 2016 quarter.  In addition, $141,000 of interest income recorded was related to the payoff of several non-accrual loans.  The provision for loan losses decreased $76,000 due to a lower trend in historical losses as well as net recoveries recorded for the quarter and year-to-date periods.  Non-interest income increased $140,000, or 34.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016 quarter primarily due to combining both banks.  Operating expenses increased by $286,000, or 12.3% mostly due to combining both banks.
