Loans. The decreases in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to the lower market rates. The Wall Street Journal prime rate decreased to 3.25% during the current quarter compared to 4.75% at December 31, 2019 and 5.50% at March 31, 2019.

The following table presents a composition of total loans by interest rate type accompanied with the weighted-average contractual rates as of the dates indicated:

Variable rate loans 55.2 % 4.41 % 56.6 % 5.51 % 65.4 % 6.29 %

Investment Securities. The decrease in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to an increase in premium amortization from the higher prepayment trend in the current quarter, as well as sales of securities available-for-sale of $32.8 million with a weighted-average book yield of 3.02% during the previous quarter. The decrease compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to new investment securities purchased under the lower market rates during the past 12-month period and the sale of securities available-for-sale during the previous quarter. During the current quarter and past 12-month period, the Company purchased $7.5 million and $17.5 million of investment securities, respectively.

Other Interest-Earning Assets. The average yield on other interest-bearing assets is closely related to the changes in market rates, as the Company maintains most of its cash at the Federal Reserve Bank account. The decreases in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to the lower market rates. The average balance for the current quarter increased primarily due to the Company’s strategic decision to increase its liquidity level by increasing Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances as a part of the Company’s liquidity management.

Interest-Bearing Deposits. The decreases in average cost for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to the continuing decreases in market rates. See the balance change discussion during the current quarter in “Deposits” under the “Balance Sheet” discussion.

Borrowings. As discussed above, the Company borrowed additional fixed rate term advances of $60.0 million from FHLB, ranging from 6 months to 1 year with a weighted-average rate of 0.46% as a part of the Company’s liquidity management. At March 31, 2020, the Company had a total outstanding FHLB advances of $80.0 million with a weighted-average rate of 0.82%.

Provision (Reversal) for Loan Losses

Provision (reversal) for loan losses was $2.9 million for the current quarter compared with $4.0 million for the previous quarter and $(85) thousand for the year-ago quarter. Additional provision for loan losses for the current quarter was primarily due to an increase in the economic uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic and net charge-offs of $602 thousand during the current quarter. Changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments from the COVID-19 pandemic affected the potential collectability of the loan portfolio, including the condition of various market segments, and has resulted in an additional allowance for loan losses of $2.7 million. The Company recorded net charge-offs of $2.7 million for the previous quarter and net recoveries of $52 thousand for the year-ago quarter. Allowance for loan losses to total loans held-for-investment ratio was 1.15% at March 31, 2020, 0.99% at December 31, 2019, and 0.98% at March 31, 2019.

Loan Servicing Income. The Company services SBA loans and certain residential property loans that are sold to the secondary market. The decreases for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to an increase in servicing asset amortization from a higher prepayment speed. The following table presents information on loan servicing income for the periods indicated.

Other Income. The increases for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarter were primarily due to a gain on disposal of premises and equipment of $31 thousand and an increase in loan related fee income.

Noninterest Expense

The following table presents the components of noninterest expense for the periods indicated:

Three Months Ended
($ in thousands) 3/31/2020 12/31/2019 % Change 3/31/2019 % Change

Total noninterest expense $ 10,567 $ 10,265 2.9 % $ 10,289 2.7 %

Salaries and Employee Benefits. The increase for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to a reversal of bonus accrual for the previous quarter, and increases in employee group insurance and vacation accrual for the current quarter. The decrease compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to a decrease in bonus accrual for the current quarter, partially offset by overall increases in salaries and other employee benefits from the hiring of new experienced employees with higher salaries in order to enhance the controls and processes on Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering (“BSA/AML”) compliance.

Professional Fees. The increases for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to increases in audit fees, partially offset by decreases in expenses related to the BSA/AML compliance enhancements.

Marketing and business promotion. The decreases for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to decreases in advertisement and business development activities from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Director Fees and Expenses. The increases for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to a severance payment of $45 thousand to a former director who passed away during the current quarter.

Regulatory Assessments. The increase for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to a small bank assessment credit from FDIC for the previous quarter. The increase compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to an increase in assessment rate from the BSA/AML compliance consent order.

Other Expenses. The decrease in the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to decreases in provision for unfunded loan commitments and office expenses. The increase compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to increases in other loan related legal and office expenses.

Loan Segmentation by Business Type That May Experience More Direct Impact from the COVID-19 Pandemic

As the COVID-19 pandemic has begun to impact all aspects of the economy, the Company has identified the following loan segments that may experience a more direct impact from it:

3/31/2020
($ in thousands) Commercial Real Estate Commercial and Industrial Total
Retail trade $ 116,398 $ 34,736 $ 151,134

Accommodations Related to Loan Modification from the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted and provided financial institutions the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) related to TDRs for a limited period of time to account for the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the CARES Act, short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to borrowers whose loan status were current prior to any relief are not TDRs.

As such, these loans would not be considered restructured for the purpose of risk-based capital rules, nor would they be reported as past due or nonaccrual during the period of the deferral for those loans. The following table presents a summary of loans with short-term modifications through payment deferrals in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as of April 24, 2020:

4/24/2020
($ in thousands) Number of Loans Unpaid Principal Balance
Commercial real estate loans 146 $ 264,705
Residential real estate loans 89 31,516
Commercial and industrial loans 174 50,272
Other consumer loans 52 766
Total 461 $ 347,259

Investment Securities

Total investment securities were $118.3 million at March 31, 2020, an increase of $559 thousand, or 0.5%, from $117.7 million at December 31, 2019 and a decrease of $49.4 million, or 29.5%, from $167.7 million at March 31, 2019.

The increase for the current quarter was primarily due to purchases of $7.5 million and an increase in fair value of securities available-for-sale of $1.3 million, partially offset by principal pay-downs and calls of $8.1 million and net premium amortization of $189 thousand.

Deposits

The following table presents deposit mix as of the dates indicated:

3/31/2020 12/31/2019 3/31/2019
($ in thousands) Amount % to Total Amount % to Total Amount % to Total
Noninterest-bearing demand deposits $ 394,084 26.7 % $ 360,039 24.3 % $ 330,645 22.8 %
Interest-bearing deposits:
NOW 18,608 1.3 % 17,673 1.2 % 13,045 0.9 %
Money market accounts 338,850 22.9 % 307,980 20.8 % 272,085 18.8 %
Savings 6,569 0.4 % 6,492 0.4 % 9,510 0.7 %
Time deposits of $250,000 or less 367,855 24.9 % 405,004 27.5 % 455,270 31.4 %
Time deposits of more than $250,000 176,970 12.0 % 199,726 13.5 % 209,693 14.5 %
State and brokered deposits 174,506 11.8 % 182,393 12.3 % 157,510 10.9 %
Total interest-bearing deposits 1,083,358 73.3 % 1,119,268 75.7 % 1,117,113 77.2 %
Total deposits $ 1,477,442 100.0 % $ 1,479,307 100.0 % $ 1,447,758 100.0 %

The decrease for the current quarter was primarily due to a decrease in time deposits, partially offset by increases in noninterest-bearing demand and other interest-bearing deposits. The decrease in time deposits for the current quarter was primarily due to matured and closed accounts of $334.0 million, partially offset by new accounts of $59.2 million and renewals of the matured accounts of $222.9 million.

The Company also began utilizing brokered money market accounts in order to diversify its funding source during the third quarter of 2019 and had a total outstanding balance of $10.0 million and $30.0 million, respectively, at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Liquidity

The following table presents a summary of the Company’s liquidity position as of March 31, 2020:

($ in thousands) 3/31/2020
Cash and cash equivalents $ 188,919
Cash and cash equivalents to total assets 10.5 %
Available borrowing capacity:
FHLB advances $ 356,576
Federal Reserve Discount Window 39,427
Overnight federal funds lines 35,000
Total $ 431,003
Total available borrowing capacity to total assets 23.9 %

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity was $224.1 million at March 31, 2020, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 1.2%, from $226.8 million at December 31, 2019, but an increase of $6.9 million, or 3.2%, from $217.2 million at March 31, 2019. The decrease for the current quarter was primarily due to repurchases of common stock and cash dividends paid on common stock, partially offset by net income for the current quarter and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

On November 22, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new $6.5 million stock repurchase program to commence upon the opening of the Company’s trading window for the first quarter of 2020 and continue through November 20, 2021. The Company completed this program in March 2020 and had repurchased and retired 428,474 shares.

Capital Ratios

Based on changes to the Federal Reserve’s definition of a “Small Bank Holding Company” that increased the threshold to $3 billion in assets in August 2018, the Company is not currently subject to separate minimum capital measurements. At such time as the Company reaches the $3 billion asset level, it will again be subject to capital measurements independent of the Bank. For comparison purposes, the Company’s ratios are included in following discussion. The following table presents capital ratios for the Company and the Bank as of dates indicated:

3/31/2020 12/31/2019 3/31/2019
