INCOME STATEMENT
For the six months ended June 30, 2016 net interest income totaled $11,215,000 compared to $8,081,000 for the first six months of 2016. Average total earning assets in the current period equaled $503.7 million at a yield of 4.78%, compared to average earning assets totaling $379.9 million at a yield of 4.59% for the first half of 2016.
Net interest income totaled $5,562,000 in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $5,653,000 in the first quarter of 2017. Net interest income in the second quarter of 2016 equaled $4,382,000. Net interest income was positively impacted by purchase accounting accretion in each of the periods totaling $91,000 in the second quarter of 2017, $137,000 in the first quarter of 2017 and $114,000 in the 2016 second quarter.
