Net income increased $126,000 or 16.4% compared to the same quarter in the prior year.  The increase was primarily the result of higher net interest income of $210,000 or 7.2% partly offset by higher non-interest expenses of $64,000 or 2.5%. Net interest income increased to $3.1 million from $2.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The increase in net interest income resulted primarily from a lower cost of funds slightly offset by a lower yield on assets.
