We have funded 606 loans totaling $163.5 million for the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) through September 30, 2020. The growth in our assets resulting from the PPP has impacted our Tier 1 Leverage capital ratio as we have not utilized the liquidity available to us from the Federal Reserve’s PPP Liquidity Facility and its associated beneficial capital treatment. Substantially all of the loans were made to existing customers and were funded under the two-year PPP loan program. We have experienced significant increased deposit balances as all of the PPP loan funds were deposited into customer accounts at our bank and as a result of customer behavior that is focused on maintaining greater non-maturing deposit balances. Organic loan growth continues to be slow as we maintain credit underwriting discipline in light of the current economic environment. For the six month period from April through September SBA has made principal and interest payments on all our SBA 7(a) loans. The borrowers will resume responsibility for making their payments in October. After considering qualitative factors, management determined that the Company’s goodwill was not impaired at September 30, 2020. At September 30, 2020, our workforce totaled 211 employees of which 107 are working remotely. All of our branch offices remain open, although they are operating under a reduced schedule. Our pandemic response team is continuing to modify and enhance our workforce and customer protection as additional information or requirements are promulgated by the state of California.

Tangible book value per share is computed by dividing total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and core deposit intangible, net by shares outstanding. Management believes that tangible book value per share is meaningful because it is a measure that the Company and investors commonly use to assess capital adequacy.(4) The Company and the Bank continue to meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.(5) Management believes the tangible common equity ratio is a useful measure of capital adequacy because it provides a meaningful base for period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in assessing the capital of the Company and the ability of the Company to absorb potential losses. The tangible common equity ratio is calculated as total shareholders' equity less goodwill and core deposit intangible, net divided by total assets less goodwill and core deposit intangible, net.

Third Quarter of 2020 Compared With The Third Quarter of 2019
Net income for the third quarter of 2020 decreased $313 thousand compared to the third quarter of 2019. In the current quarter, net interest income was $408 thousand higher, noninterest income was $183 thousand higher and income taxes were $286 thousand lower. These changes were partially offset by a provision for loan and lease losses that was $1.1 million higher and noninterest expense that was $90 thousand higher.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased $408 thousand compared to the same period a year ago.
Interest income for the third quarter of 2020 increased $17 thousand or less than 1% to $15.2 million .
Interest and fees on loans increased $435 thousand due to a $179.7 million increase in average loan balances partially offset by a 59 basis point decrease in the average yield. Much of the 59 basis point decrease was caused by PPP loans which yielded only 2.31% . The yield on loans exclusive of PPP loans declined 26 basis points. Interest on investment securities decreased $139 thousand due to a 41 basis point decrease in average yield partially offset by a $25.2 million increase in average securities balances. Interest on interest-bearing deposits due from banks decreased $279 thousand due to a 195 basis point decrease in average yield that was partially offset by a $36.4 million increase in average interest-bearing deposit balances. During 2020, in response to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve cut its interest rates by 150 to 175 basis points which has resulted in a decrease in our interest income. Interest expense for the third quarter of 2020 decreased $391 thousand or 26% to $1.1 million .
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased $336 thousand . Average interest-bearing demand and savings deposit balances increased $122.8 million , while average certificate of deposit balances decreased $17.9 million . The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased 20 basis points. Average FHLB borrowings were $10.0 million in the current quarter. The borrowings bear no interest under a program offered by the FHLB during the second quarter of 2020 in response to COVID-19 liquidity concerns. There were no borrowings during the same period a year ago. Interest expense on other term debt increased $1 thousand . The average rate paid on other term debt increased three basis points. Interest expense on junior subordinated debentures decreased $56 thousand . The average rate paid on junior subordinated debentures decreased 215 basis points. Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
Net loan loss charge-offs were $316 thousand for the current quarter compared to net loan loss charge-offs of $160 thousand for the same period a year ago. Net loan charge-offs during the current quarter were primarily related to the unguaranteed portion of two commercial loans that are partially guaranteed under the California Capital Access Program for Small Business.
We recognized deterioration in the credit environment due to the economic effects of COVID-19 and have made changes to our qualitative factors (Q-Factors) in calculating our ALLL. As a result we recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2020. There was no provision for loan and lease losses in the third quarter of 2019. A discussion of our provision is provided following Table 11.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased $183 thousand compared to the same period a year previous. The increase was due $246 thousand in net gains on sale of investment securities during the third quarter of 2020.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased $90 thousand compared to the same period a year previous. Increases in noninterest expense included the following items:
$121 thousand increase in salaries and related benefits.$205 thousand increase in FDIC insurance premiums. These increases were partially offset by decreases in travel, sponsorship and other noninterest expenses as a result of the pandemic.
The Company’s efficiency ratio was 54.8% for the third quarter of 2020. The ratio during the same period in 2019 was 56.4% .
Income Tax Provision
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, our income tax provision of $1.5 million on pre-tax income of $5.8 million was an effective tax rate of 25.7% . The tax provision for the third quarter of the prior year was $1.8 million on pre-tax income of $6.4 million for an effective rate of 27.8% . The effective tax rate has declined in the current period as a result of increased income from tax-exempt securities.
Third Quarter of 2020 Compared With The Second Quarter of 2020
Net income for the third quarter of 2020 increased $482 thousand compared to the second quarter of 2020. In the current quarter, net interest income was $347 thousand higher, provision for loan and lease losses was $200 thousand lower, noninterest income was $234 thousand higher. These changes were partially offset by noninterest expense that was $120 thousand higher and a provision for income taxes that was $179 thousand higher.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased $347 thousand over the prior quarter.
Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased $221 thousand or 1% to $15.2 million .
Interest and fees on loans increased $224 thousand due to a $28.4 million increase in average loan balances partially offset by an eight basis point decrease in the average yield. Much of the eight basis point decrease was caused by PPP loans. Interest on investment securities decreased $11 thousand due to a 28 basis point decrease in average yield partially offset by a $27.1 million increase in average securities balances. Interest on interest-bearing deposits due from banks increased $8 thousand due to a $22.8 million increase in average balances. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $126 thousand or 10% to $1.1 million .

The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased by seven basis points. Interest expense on FHLB borrowings decreased $5 thousand . Average FHLB borrowings were $10.0 million in the current quarter compared to $16.0 million in the prior quarter. During the second quarter of 2020, we took an advance under our FHLB line of credit for $10.0 million , which bears no interest under a program offered by the FHLB during the second quarter of 2020 in response to COVID-19 liquidity concerns. Interest expense on other term debt was unchanged at $184 thousand for both quarters. Interest expense on other junior subordinated debentures decreased $11 thousand due to a 45 basis point decrease in the average rate paid. Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
Net loan charge-offs were $316 thousand in the current quarter compared to $278 thousand in the prior quarter. As illustrated in Table 11 total nonaccrual loans increased by $1.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 when compared to the previous quarter. Net loan charge-offs during the current quarter were primarily related to the unguaranteed portion of two commercial loans that are partially guaranteed under the California Capital Access Program for Small Business. Both loans were also placed in nonaccrual status during the quarter. We recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $1.3 million and $1.1 million for the second and third quarters of 2020, respectively. A discussion of our provision is provided following Table 11.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased $234 thousand including a $118 thousand increase in gain on sale of investment securities and $73 thousand increase in FHLB dividends.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased $120 thousand compared to the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to a deferred PPP loan origination cost benefit of approximately $600 recorded in the prior quarter which did not recur in the current quarter. This was offset during the current quarter by accruals for incentives and unused vacation which were $408 thousand lower.
The Company’s efficiency ratio was 54.8% for the third quarter of 2020 compared with 56.1% for the prior quarter.
Income Tax Provision
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, our income tax provision of $1.5 million on pre-tax income of $5.8 million was an effective tax rate of 25.7% . The income tax provision for the prior quarter of $1.3 thousand on pre-tax income of $5.2 million was an effective tax rate of 25.6% .
Earnings Per Share
Diluted earnings per share were $0.26 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with diluted earnings per share of $0.26 for the same period a year ago and diluted earnings per share of $0.23 for the prior period. Net income and weighted average shares used to calculate earnings per share – diluted are summarized in Table 9 presented earlier in this press release.

COVID‐ 19 Loan Analysis
During the third quarter of 2020, we continued to proactively monitor our loan portfolio by maintaining close contact with our borrowers to update our understanding of the impact of the pandemic on them, their businesses and the underlying collateral for our loans. For borrowers who continue to have been granted a loan payment deferral, we have evaluated their credit quality position and the potential for loss of principal.
We have segmented our commercial loan and commercial real estate loan portfolios (86% of gross loans excluding PPP loans) to identify those loans in industries that are most at risk or where other information indicates the borrower may be significantly impacted by the effects of COVID-19. The following table presents loans by industry that are most at risk or where other information indicates the loan or borrower may be highly impacted by COVID-19 and the related loan modifications. The table below includes $10.0 million and $21.3 million of SBA 7(a) (generally 75% guaranteed) loans in the high risk and low to moderate risk categories, respectively.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
We monitor credit quality and the general economic environment to ensure that the ALLL is maintained at a level that is adequate to cover estimated credit losses in the loan and lease portfolio. Our review of ALLL adequacy utilizes both quantitative and qualitative factors. The quantitative analysis relies on historical loss rates which, unfortunately, are not indicative of potential losses related to a pandemic such as we are currently experiencing with COVID-19. In response to quantitative data deficiencies, we have placed greater reliance on qualitative factors (Q-Factors).
At September 30, 2020, our review of the adequacy of our allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) focused on our Q-Factor for “changes in the volume and severity of past due loans and other similar conditions”. We considered concentrations of credit in industries that are more likely to be significantly impacted by the effects of COVID-19. We evaluated our C&I portfolio by NAICS code and our CRE portfolio for concentrations of tenants and businesses in higher risk industries or for loans with higher LTVs. We also completed analyses on individual borrowers who may be higher risk. After updating this work, during the third quarter we significantly increased our Q-Factor for “changes in the volume and severity of past due loans and other similar conditions”. Our ALLL methodology, adjusted for the revised Q-Factor discussed above necessitated an ALLL of $16.9 million at September 30, 2020, an increase of 38% compared to our ALLL of $12.2 million at December 31, 2019. A provision for loan and lease losses of $1.1 million was recorded during the current quarter compared to $1.3 million in the prior quarter. There was no provision for loan and lease loss during the same quarter a year ago. Our ALLL as a percentage of gross loans was 1.40% as of September 30, 2020 compared to 1.19% as of September 30, 2019 and 1.33% as of June 30, 2020. Excluding SBA guaranteed PPP loans our ALLL as a percentage of gross loans was 1.62% as of September 30, 2020 compared to 1.54% as of June 30, 2020.
Management believes the Company’s ALLL is adequate at September 30, 2020. There is, however, no assurance that future loan and lease losses will not exceed the levels provided for in the ALLL and could possibly result in future charges to the provision for loan and lease losses.
At September 30, 2020, the recorded investment in loans classified as impaired totaled $12.4 million , with a corresponding specific reserve of $204 thousand compared to impaired loans of $17.7 million with a corresponding specific reserve of $335 thousand at September 30, 2019 and impaired loans of $11.1 million , with a corresponding specific reserve of $270 thousand at June 30, 2020. The increase in impaired loans during the current quarter was due to two commercial loans totaling $1.4 million that were placed on nonaccrual status during the third quarter of 2020.

There were no new troubled debt restructurings during the three months ended September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, we had 92 restructured loans that qualified as troubled debt restructurings, of which 91 were performing according to their restructured terms.
Troubled Debt Restructuring Guidance
Financial institution regulators and the CARES Act have changed the treatment of short term loan modifications for borrowers impacted by COVID-19. The change provides that modifications made in response to COVID-19, to borrowers under certain circumstances, should not be considered a troubled debt restructuring.
We have responded to the needs of our borrowers in accordance with the CARES Act and regulatory guidance to grant short-term COVID-19 related loan modifications. These modified loans are not troubled debt restructurings and are not considered to be past due or non-performing. We have granted deferrals ranging from one to six months determined on a case-by-case basis considering the nature of the business and the impact of COVID-19. For some borrowers that where initially granted a deferral of less than 6 months, we have granted an additional deferral period on a case-by-case basis. Since March of 2020, we have granted 261 payment deferrals totaling $125.3 million . As of September 30, 2020 loans totaling $82.5 million have resumed making payments.
The following tables present approved loan deferrals that are still in effect at September 30, 2020. For the loans with payment deferrals at September 30, 2020, nine borrowers also received a PPP loan through our U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) department.
