Mars National Bancorp, Inc. Announces Unaudited Earning Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2017. For the three months, the company reported net interest income was $2,445,000 compared with $2,397,000 a year ago. This was primarily due to an increase in interest income on loans of $103,000 which was related to higher average loan receivables of $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Non-interest income was $424,000 compared with $561,000 a year ago. This decrease was primarily due to lower residential mortgage sale income of $21,000, fees associated with debit card activity of $17,000, fees associated with credit card activity of $9,000 and service charges on deposits including NSF fees of $7,000 which was partially offset by an increase in title insurance income of $14,000. Net income was $260,000 compared with $252,000 a year ago. The increase in earnings was primarily due to a decrease in non-interest expense of $68,000, a decrease in income tax expense of $23,000, an increase in net interest income of $48,000 and a decrease in provision for loan loss expense of $6,000.
