Results of Operations
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $1,095,000 compared to $1,483,000 for the same period last year, representing a decrease of $388,000 or 26.2%. Basic and diluted earnings per share decreased $0.22 from $0.86 at September 30, 2019 to $0.64 at September 30, 2020. The decrease in net income is primarily due to a $395,000 higher loan loss provision compared to the prior year.
The Bank has realized continued strong loan demand in 2020 as net loans increased 9.86%. Interest and fees on loans at September 30, 2020 increased $328,000 over the same three month time period of 2019. Interest expense remained unchanged at $1,168,000 for September 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively.
The provision for loan losses was $420,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $25,000 for September 30, 2019. The higher provision is due to an increase in a recession probability predictor in the Bank's environmental factors portion of the allowance for loan loss reserve calculation. With the far-reaching economic impacts resulting from COVID-19, the likelihood of recession necessitated the need for a higher provision beyond the overall growth in the loan portfolio. In determining the estimated allowance the Bank considered national and local unemployment trends, market conditions, social distancing impacts on area non-essential businesses, and customer requests for payment deferrals. Net charge-offs were $575,000 at September 30, 2020 as compared to 243,000 at September 30, 2019.
Noninterest income decreased by $32,000, or 3.2%, to $960,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $992,000 for same time period of 2019. The decrease is attributable primarily to a decrease in fee income from services charges on deposit accounts and revenue from brokerage services.
Noninterest expense increased $350,000 or 10.4% from the three months ended September 30, 2019 to the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase is primarily related to an increase in salaries, employee benefits, premises and fixed assets, and marketing related expenses.
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $221,000 compared to $339,000 one year prior. The decrease in tax expense is due to recognizing less revenue for the quarter.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $3,305,000 compared to $3,741,000 for the same period last year, representing a decrease of $436,000 or 11.7%. Basic and diluted earnings per share decreased $0.26 from $2.18 at September 30, 2019 to $1.92 at September 30, 2020. The decrease in net income is primarily attributed to an increase in a higher provision for loan losses related to the uncertain economic conditions related to the COVID-19 health pandemic. Provision for loan losses totaled $1,610,000 at September 30, 2020 compared to $620,000 at September 30, 2019. The 160.0% increase is related to growth in the portfolio as well as accounting for the environmental factors related to the large span of industries negatively impacted by the social distancing guidance, unemployment claims, and the anticipated expiration of the temporary increase in unemployment compensation benefits under the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation program.
Financial Condition
At September 30, 2020 total assets amounted to $586,724,000, an increase of 19.1% above total assets at December 31, 2019 of $492,817,000, an increase of $93,907,000. Total net loans increased $41,536,000 or 9.9% from $421,417,000 at December 31, 2019 to $462,953,000 at September 30, 2020. Approximately $30,100,000 of the growth was related to PPP lending. Total deposits at December 31, 2019 amounted to $434,268,000, compared to $525,269,000 at September 30, 2020, an increase of 21.0% or $91,001,000. The majority of the increase in deposits was organic growth. In addition, a substantial majority of the PPP loan proceeds were deposited to accounts at the Bank.
Stockholders' equity totaled $53,014,000 at September 30, 2020 compared to $50,269,000 at December 31, 2019. The $2,745,000 increase during the period is net income for 2020, net proceeds from the issuance of common stock from the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss and partially offset by dividends paid.
Non-Performing Assets
Non-performing assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans and foreclosed properties increased from $3,200,000 at December 31, 2019 to $4,100,000 at September 30, 2020. The increase is attributable to an uptick in nonaccrual loans. Nonaccrual loans were $656,000 at December 31, 2019 compared to $1,826,000 at September 30, 2020. There was one new addition, a residential loan, to nonaccruals loans during the quarter.
A loan is considered impaired if it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans amounted to $1,500,000 at December 31, 2019, compared to $2,600,000 at September 30, 2020. The increase is related to the addition of 13 impaired loans in various loan categories. Loss exposure on impaired loans at December 31, 2019 was $310,000 compared to $62,000 at September 30, 2020 after obtaining current appraisals on collateral securing a significant number of impaired loans in the portfolio and estimating selling costs based on historical experience.
The Bank historically makes a conscious effort to attempt work-out loan scenarios with past due customers. In some cases, loan restructuring is appropriate. Bank management has procedures and processes in place to identify, monitor, and report troubled debt restructurings. At September 30, 2020, troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") totaled $1,256,000 and were spread among various loan categories. One new TDRs was identified during the third quarter, an owner occupied nonfarm nonresidential loan.
Capital Ratios
The federal banking agencies jointly issued a final rule, effective January 1, 2020, that provided for an optional, simplified measure of capital adequacy, the community bank leverage ratio framework, for qualifying community banking organizations, consistent with Section 201 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act. A qualifying community banking organization is defined as having less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, a leverage ratio greater than 9%, off-balance sheet exposures of 25% or less of total consolidated assets, and trading assets and liabilities of 5% or less of total consolidated assets. It also cannot be an advanced approaches institution. Bank of Botetourt qualified to opt-in to the Community Bank Leverage Ratio ("CBLR"). As of September 30, Bank of Botetourt reported its CBLR ratio at 9.25% which exceeds the required regulatory minimum ratio. The CARES Act temporarily reduced the CBLR minimum ratio from 9.0% to 8.0% through December 31, 2020.
Paycheck Protection Program
Bank of Botetourt is participating in the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") initiated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury on April 3, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the Bank has processed and received approval from the U.S. Small Business Administration on 488 applications for approximately $30.1 million. Bank of Botetourt funded these loans using its on-balance sheet liquidity. The Bank completed the requirements to borrow from the Payroll Protection Program Lending Facility ("PPPLF"), if needed, at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. At September 30, 2020 the Bank does not anticipated borrowing any funds from the PPPL facility. The Bank will continue to monitor its liquidity position as the newly created facility is available until December 31, 2020. The Bank earned and received $1,232,000 from the SBA for generating the PPP loans. This revenue will be recognized over the life of the PPP loans. At September 30, 2020, the Bank recognized $232,000 of the PPP revenue. At September 30, 2020, no PPP loans had been submitted for forgiveness as the first payments are not due until the fourth quarter of 2020.

Bank of Botetourt continues to take numerous steps to assist our customers and employees during the pandemic.
