The recently signed tax bill has provided an immediate benefit to the bank and will provide a benefit going forward,” said Thomas M. Carr, President and CEO.

Net income totaled $1,449,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $407,000 or 39% from the $1,042,000 recorded for the same period in 2016.

The enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Act”) on December 22, 2017 reduces the federal corporate tax rate starting in 2018 from 34% to 21%. As a result of the enactment of the Act, the Bank was required under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) to adjust its net deferred tax liability in 2017 for the tax rate change. This adjustment resulted in a $1.2 million reduction in income tax expense for both the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017.

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 were $1.28 per share for both compared to $1.26 per share and $1.25 per share for the same period in 2016. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2017 were both $.39 per share compared to $.30 per share for both for the same period in 2016.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity increased $1.0 million to $56.7 million at December 31, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016.
