Operating Results
Net interest income increased $131,000 to $4.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2014 and increased $417,000 from $4.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Net interest income increased $1.6 million, or 9.4%, to $18.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $17.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily a result of higher average loan balances.
The net interest margin was 4.41% for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to 4.43% for the third quarter of 2014 and 4.38% in the fourth quarter of 2013.
The provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2014 was $200,000, which was the same as the third quarter of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2013. The provision for loan losses decreased $550,000 to $800,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decline from a year ago was primarily due to lower charge-offs which was partially offset by increases to the provision related to higher average loan balances and changes in the composition of our loan portfolio.
Noninterest income decreased $395,000, or 27.6%, to $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2014. Noninterest income decreased $125,000, or 10.8%, from $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The decrease in the quarterly figure from a year ago was primarily a result of a reduction in loan fee income and a lower fair value adjustment on our mortgage servicing asset primarily as a result of increased prepayment speeds. Noninterest income decreased $540,000, or 11.0%, to $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The annual decrease was primarily reflective of decreased gains on sale of loans and a lower fair value gain adjustment on mortgage servicing rights.
Noninterest expense for the third and fourth quarters of 2014 was $4.2 million, compared to $4.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2014, noninterest expense was $15.9 million, compared to $15.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase from a year ago was primarily from increased operational and data processing expenses related to three branches acquired in the third quarter of 2014, expansion of online and mobile banking offerings and higher salaries and benefits due to an increase in full time equivalent employees.
The efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter of 2014 was 69.75%, compared to 67.09% for the third quarter of 2014 and 68.33% for the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in the efficiency ratio compared to prior periods was primarily due to the higher noninterest expense and lower noninterest income partially offset by an increase in interest income.
Balance Sheet Review, Capital Management and Credit Quality
The Company's total assets as of December 31, 2014 were $495.2 million, compared to $478.7 million at September 30, 2014 and $442.6 million a year ago. This increase was primarily a result of higher loan and cash balances which increased $13.0 million and $7.2million, respectively, from September 30, 2014 and $39.4 and $14.0 million, respectively, from December 31, 2013.
The investment securities available-for-sale portfolio totaled $11.5 million at December 31, 2014, compared to $12.9 million at September 30, 2014 and $15.4 million at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2014, the securities available-for-sale portfolio was comprised of $7.1 million of agency mortgage-backed securities (all issued by U.S. Government-sponsored entities), $2.3 million in private-label mortgage-backed securities and $2.1 million in municipal bonds.
Loans, excluding loans held-for-sale, totaled $430.4 million at December 31, 2014, compared to $417.4 million at September 30, 2014 and $390.9 million a year ago. We experienced growth in every loan category at December 31, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013, except for manufactured housing and home equity loans. At December 31, 2014, commercial and multifamily real estate loans accounted for 39.0% of the portfolio and residential real estate loans accounted for 30.8% of the portfolio. Home equity, manufactured, floating homes and other consumer loans accounted for 14.9% of the portfolio. Construction and land loans accounted for 10.8% of the portfolio and commercial and industrial loans accounted for the remaining 4.5% of the portfolio.
The weighted average yield on the loan portfolio was 5.12% for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to 5.19% for the third quarter of 2014 and 5.23% for the fourth quarter of 2013.
Nonperforming assets ("NPAs"), which includes non-accrual loans, accruing loans 90 days and more delinquent, nonperforming troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs"), other real estate owned ("OREO") and other repossessed assets increased to $4.2 million, or 0.84% of total assets, at December 31, 2014 compared to $3.8 million, or 0.80% of total assets at September 30, 2014 and $3.1 million, or 0.70% of total assets at December 31, 2013. This increase from a year ago was primarily the result of a $1.5 million commercial property loan which was restructured during the third quarter of 2014 and is performing as agreed under the new loan terms. The following table summarizes our NPAs:

| Allowance for loan losses to total nonperforming loans | | | 114.19 | % | | | 217.44 | % |
The increase in the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2014, compared to the prior year was due to increased average loan balances which were partially offset by lower charge-offs.
