Third Century Bancorp (“Company”) (OTCPINK:TDCB), the holding company for Mutual Savings Bank (“Bank”) announced it had net income of $1,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $226,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, or $0.18 per basic and diluted share. The decline in net income for the fourth quarter 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 was primarily driven by a $173,000 income tax charge due to the revaluation of the Company's net deferred tax assets required by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”). The Tax Act lowered the corporate tax rate from 34% to 21%, which will lower the Company’s provision for federal income taxes in future years. The Tax Act was signed into law during the fourth quarter of 2017 and generally accepted accounting principles requires that the impact of the provisions of the Tax Act be accounted for in the period of enactment. As such, the Company was required to write down the value of its net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017, to reflect the reduction in the corporate tax rate. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded net income of $560,000, or $0.47 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $691,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016, or $0.55 per basic and diluted share. The decrease in net income for 2017 as compared to 2016 was primarily due to the $173,000 income tax charge related to the revaluation of the Company's deferred tax assets described above.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2017, net income decreased $225,000, or 99.56%, to $1,000 as compared to $226,000 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net income for the three-month period ended December 31, 2017 was primarily a result of the $173,000 income tax charge related to the revaluation of the Company's deferred tax assets. Offsetting this one-time non-recurring charge was a $155,000, or 14.29%, increase in net interest income, which was achieved through an increase in interest income of $209,000, or 17.27%, partially offset by a $54,000, or 43.05%, increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income was due to an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, along with higher average loan balances. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher average balances of interest bearing liabilities and a higher average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities.
The increase in net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 was partially offset by a $26,000 increase in provision for loan losses compared to the same period in 2016 due to higher levels of loan growth.
The decrease in net income for the three month period ended December 31, 2017 was also impacted by a $64,000 decrease in noninterest income, a $168,000 increase in noninterest expense and a $122,000 increase in income tax expense. The decrease in noninterest income was due to decreases in gains on sales of loans, trust income, and deposit fee and service charge income for the three month period ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year period. The increase in noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to increases in wages and benefits as well as a write down related to a property that the Company holds for sale. The increase in income tax expense was due to the income tax charge related to the revaluation of the Company's deferred tax assets that took place in the quarter ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, net income decreased $131,000, or 19.00%, to $560,000 from $691,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 2017 was primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $658,000, or 14.79%, to $5.0 million from $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase in net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2017 was due to a $708,000, or 14.43%, increase in interest income partially offset by a $140,000, or 30.63%, increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income was due to an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, along with higher average loan balances. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher average balances of interest bearing liabilities and a higher average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities.
The increase in net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2017 was partially offset by a $116,000 increase in the provision for loan losses compared to 2016.

The increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 2017 was also impacted by a $105,000 decrease in noninterest income, a $291,000 increase in noninterest expense and a $187,000 increase in income tax expense. The decrease in noninterest income was due to decreases in gains on sales of loans, trust income, and deposit fee and service charge income for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year. The increase in noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the prior year was primarily due to increases in wages and benefits. The increase in income tax expense was due to the income tax charge related to the revaluation of the Company's deferred tax assets, as well as an increase in income before income tax for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year.
Total assets increased $15.1 million to $151.0 million at December 31, 2017 from $135.9 million at December 31, 2016, an increase of 11.04%. The increase was primarily due to a $9.6 million, or 8.73%, increase in net loans, primarily funded by a $14.9 million, or 15.25%, increase in total deposits. At December 31, 2017, the weighted average rate of all Federal Home Loan Bank advances was 1.44% compared to 1.35% at December 31, 2016, and the weighted average maturity was 4.3 years at December 31, 2017 compared to 3.5 years at December 31, 2016.
