The Company reported unaudited net income of $2,558,000, or $1.37 per share, basic and diluted, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to net income of $2,792,000, or $1.48 per share, basic and diluted, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Per share information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, is based upon 1,847,069 and 1,864,701 average shares outstanding, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, which was based upon 1,887,359 and 1,886,216 average shares outstanding, respectively.
Net income decreased $244,000 during the third quarter of 2013, as compared to the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in net income reflected a decrease $349,000 in noninterest income and an increase of $159,000 in noninterest expense, partially offset by an increase of $8,000 in net interest income and decreases of $110,000 in the provision for loan losses and $146,000 in income taxes. The increase in net interest income during the third quarter of 2013, as compared to the third quarter of 2012, reflected a decrease of $130,000 in interest income offset by a decrease of $138,000 in interest expense.
The provision for loan losses decreased $110,000 during the third quarter of 2013. Management reviews the allowance for loan losses quarterly and has determined the allowance for loan losses with a balance of $3.3 million, or 1.8% of total loans, at September 30, 2013 to be adequate. The lower provision reflects stability in the asset quality of our loan portfolio. Noninterest income decreased $349,000 during the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to decreases of $229,000 in gains on the sales of securities and $136,000 in net income from mortgage banking operations. Noninterest expense increased $159,000, primarily due to a one-time charge of $74,000 related to the sale of our former main office building and an increase of $50,000 in data processing expense. The $146,000 decrease in income taxes reflects the lower level of taxable income during the third quarter of 2013.
Net income decreased $233,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period of 2012. The decrease in net income was due to decreases of $357,000 in net interest income and $126,000 in noninterest income and an increase of $183,000 in noninterest expense, partially offset by decreases of $330,000 in the provision for loan losses and $103,000 in income taxes. The decrease in net interest income during the first nine months of 2013, compared to the same period of 2012, was due to a decrease of $763,000 in interest income, partially offset by a decrease of $406,000 in interest expense. During the prolonged period of low interest rates, Jacksonville Savings has experienced a contraction of its net interest margin (NIM). For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the NIM was 3.45% compared to 3.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The ratio of interest earnings assets to interest bearing liabilities at September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 was 1.21x and 1.19x, respectively.
The provision for loan losses decreased $330,000 during the first nine months of 2013. The decrease of $126,000 in noninterest income during this same period was primarily due to decreases of $203,000 in net income on mortgage banking operations and $67,000 in gains on sales of securities, partially offset by an increase of $99,000 in commission income. The increase of $183,000 in noninterest expense was primarily due to a one-time charge of $74,000 related to the sale of our former main office building and an increase of $63,000 in data processing expense. The decrease of $103,000 in income taxes reflects the lower level of taxable income during 2013.
