Net Income

Net income totaled $3,086,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $452,000 or 17% from the $2,634,000 of net income recorded for the same period in 2014. This increase was the net result of an increase in noninterest income of $291,000, an increase in net interest income of $112,000, and a decrease in noninterest expense of $281,000, offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses of $93,000 and an increase in tax expense of $139,000.

Net income totaled $1,057,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $582,000 or 123% from the $475,000 recorded for the same period in 2014. This increase was the net result of a decrease in noninterest expense of $465,000, an increase in noninterest income of $384,000, and an increase in net interest income of $50,000, offset by an increase in tax expense of $285,000 and an increase in the provision for loan losses of $32,000.

The decrease in noninterest expense for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 versus the same periods in 2014 includes the impact of $820,000 of one-time expense recognized in the third quarter of 2014. This one-time expense was for the estimated value of an executive retirement compensation agreement.

Net income of $1,057,000 for the current quarter ended September 30, 2015 increased $38,000 or 4% from net income for the preceding quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $.89 per share and $.87 per share compared to $.73 per share and $.70 per share for the same period in 2014.

Loans, including loans held for sale, increased 6.7% to $446.2 million at September 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014. The available-for-sale investment portfolio decreased $15.1 million from December 31, 2014 to September 30, 2015.

Nonperforming Loans

Our nonperforming loans to total loans ratio has decreased to 1.01% at September 30, 2015 from 1.13% at December 31, 2014.

Liabilities

Deposits total $442.0 million at September 30, 2015, an increase of $19.5 million or 4.6%. The $19.5 million increase consists of a $6.2 million increase in interest-bearing transaction accounts, a $10.3 million increase in noninterest-bearing accounts, and a $4.5 million increase in time deposits, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in savings accounts and a $0.6 million decrease in money market accounts. Borrowed funds increased by $1.0 million or 1.6%.

Shareholders' Equity

Shareholders' equity decreased $0.8 million to $54.7 million at September 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014. The decrease is primarily the result of the repurchase of a warrant in May 2015 that had been issued to the United States Treasury Department at a purchase price of $1.5 million. The current level of shareholders' equity equates to a book value per share of $16.49 at September 30, 2015, compared to $16.91 at December 31, 2014. Dividends paid to common shareholders were $0.23 and $0.69 for the three and nine months ended for both September 30, 2015 and 2014.
