GENERAL
All dollar amounts included in the tables of this discussion are in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise stated. There were no changes to the Critical Accounting Policies disclosed in Item 7 of the 2019 Form 10-K. The principal source of earnings for the Company is net interest income. Net interest income is the amount by which interest income exceeds interest expense. Net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Changes in the volume and/or mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the associated yields and rates, the level of noninterest-bearing deposits, and the volume of nonperforming assets have an effect on net interest income, net interest margin, and net income.

Company's loan portfolio for higher state unemployment rates, particularly
in
to have been incurred as of
borrowers are facing due to the pandemic, evidenced, in part, by loan deferrals and modifications granted to these borrowers.
• Total deposits increased by
million increase in deposits in the first half of 2020,$47.3 million and$30.4 million was attributable to higher noninterest-bearing account balances and savings and interest-bearing demand deposit accounts,
respectively, the growth of which was partially attributable to PPP loans,
which were funded in these accounts.
• The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets increased to 1.15% as of
primarily attributable to higher nonaccrual loan balances of
mainly commercial and industrial loans and commercial mortgages (non-owner
occupied) to borrowers adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 was$12.0 million , a decrease of$350 thousand from the second quarter of 2019, primarily attributable to lower yields on loans and lower accretion of acquired loan discounts in the 2020 period. The decline in yields and accretion income was partially offset by higher average interest-earning assets of$1.16 billion in the 2020 period compared to$1.04 billion in the 2019 period, an increase of$120.7 million ($107.8 million attributable to gross loans). Yields on average interest-earning assets were 4.17% and 4.77% for the second quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Yields on average interest-earning assets in the second quarter of 2020 were negatively affected by lower yields on loans originated, the repricing of variable rate loans due to the decline in market index rates, the addition of lower yielding PPP loans, which had a negative 3 basis point effect on yield, and lower accretion of acquired loan discounts, which also had a negative 3 basis point effect. OnApril 1, 2017 , the Company completed a merger withVirginia BanCorp, Inc. ("Virginia BanCorp"), a bank holding company conducting substantially all of its operations through its subsidiary,Virginia Commonwealth Bank . Immediately following the Company's merger with Virginia BanCorp, Virginia BanCorp's subsidiary bank was merged with and into the Company's banking subsidiary,Bank of Lancaster (collectively, the "Merger").Bank of Lancaster then changed its name toVirginia Commonwealth Bank . Loans acquired in the Merger were discounted to estimated fair value (for credit losses and interest rates) as of the effective date of the Merger. A portion of the acquisition accounting adjustments (discounts) to record the acquired loans at estimated fair value is being recognized (accreted) into interest income over the estimated remaining life of the loans for those loans that were deemed to be, as of the Merger date, purchased performing and over the period of expected cash flows from the loans that were deemed to be purchased credit-impaired ("PCI"), as of the Merger date. The amount of accretion income recognized within a period is based on many factors, including among other factors, loan prepayments and curtailments; therefore, amounts recognized are subject to volatility. Accretion of discounts on acquired loans was$93 and$197 thousand in the second quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Average interest-earning assets comprised 94.1% and 93.8% of the Company's
average assets for the three months ended
Interest expense for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 was$3.0 million , a decrease of$813 thousand from the second quarter of 2019, primarily attributable to lower cost of funds, which was 1.12% in the 2020 period compared to 1.58% in the 2019 period. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by$57.5 million to$914.8 million in the 2020 period from$857.4 million in the 2019 period. Cost of deposits was 0.97% for the second quarter of 2020, down 45 basis points from 1.42% for the second quarter of 2019, reflective of the Company's efforts to reduce deposit rates, and higher average balances noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts in the 2020 period of$60.3 million , partially attributable to PPP loans funded in these accounts.
Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the three months ended
33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net interest margin was 3.11% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 3.29% for the second quarter of 2019. The decrease in NIM was primarily attributable to lower yields on loans originated in the second quarter of 2020, including PPP loans, and the repricing of variable rate loans, partially offset by lower cost of funds.

Interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 was$24.2 million , a decrease of$472 thousand from the six months endedJune 30, 2019 , primarily attributable to lower yields on loans and lower accretion of acquired loan discounts in the 2020 period. Yields on average interest-earning assets were 4.36% and 4.83% for the first halves of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The lower yield on average interest-earning assets in the 2020 period was primarily due to lower yields on loans originated, the repricing of variable rate loans, the addition of lower yielding PPP loans, which had a negative 2 basis point effect on yield, and lower accretion of acquired loan discounts (of$354 thousand ), which had a negative 6 basis point effect. Partially offsetting these negative effects was higher average balances of gross loans of$69.4 million in the 2020 period compared to the 2019 period. 34 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Average interest-earning assets comprised 94.3% and 94.0% of the Company's
average assets for the six months ended
Interest expense for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 was$6.6 million , a decrease of$869 thousand from the six months endedJune 30, 2019 , primarily attributable to lower cost of funds of 1.27% in the 2020 period compared to 1.56% in the 2019 period, partially offset by higher average interest-bearing liabilities of$37.7 million in the 2020 period compared to the 2019 period. Lower cost of funds in the first half of 2020 was primarily reflective of the company's efforts to reduce deposit rates since mid-2019, lower borrowing costs, particularlyFederal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB") advances, and higher average balances of noninterest-bearing demand accounts of$42.2 million in the 2020 period. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 was$17.6 million , an increase of$397 thousand from$17.2 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2019 . NIM was 3.17% for the first half of 2020 compared to 3.37% for the first half of 2019. Lower NIM in the 2020 period was primarily due to lower yields on average interest-earning assets, primarily loans, and lower accretion of acquired loan discounts, partially offset by lower cost of funds. The Company expects NIM to continue to be negatively affected in the periods subsequent toJune 30, 2020 , as a result of declines in market interest rates, most notably the federal funds rate, which has been lowered 200 basis points sinceJune 30, 2019 . PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
Provision for loan losses was
Of the second quarter of 2020 amount, approximately$1.4 million was attributable to qualitative loss factors to provide for losses estimated to have been incurred as ofJune 30, 2020 , as a result of challenges certain borrowers are facing due to the pandemic, evidenced, in part, by loan deferrals and modifications granted to these borrowers. The remaining provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2020 was due to gross loan growth of$27.0 million , excluding PPP loans, and higher specific reserves. No provision for loan losses was recorded on PPP loans as these loans are subject to a fullU.S. government guarantee. Provision for loans losses for the first half of 2020 was primarily attributable to qualitative loss factors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, gross loan growth of approximately$73.2 million , excluding PPP loans, and higher specific reserves.

Partially offsetting these increases were lower service charges and fees on deposit accounts in the second quarter of 2020 of$109 thousand , primarily due to a lower volume of fee-based transactions. Higher noninterest income in the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the six months endedJune 30, 2019 , was primarily attributable to$966 thousand of fee income for referring loan customers to a third-party financial institution to execute interest rate swaps, while the 2019 period included no income from such activities. Additionally, the first half of 2020 period included higher secondary market sales and servicing income of approximately$594 thousand . Partially offsetting these increases was a$150 net unrealized loss in the 2020 period compared to a$130 net unrealized gain in the 2019 period on rabbi trust assets for the benefit of participants in the Company's deferred compensation plan.

Excluding the$10.4 million goodwill impairment charge, noninterest expenses decreased$513 thousand , or 6.7%, on a comparative period basis, reflective of the Company's ongoing efforts to reduce operating costs. Higher noninterest expense in the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the six months endedJune 30, 2019 , was primarily attributable to the goodwill impairment charge of$10.4 million . Excluding the goodwill impairment charge, noninterest expenses decreased$836 thousand , 5.5%, on a comparative period basis, reflective of the Company's ongoing efforts to reduce operating costs. Partially offsetting these reductions, were higher expenses in telecommunications and other technology due to infrastructure investments. The Company consolidated one branch in the first quarter of 2020 and one in the first quarter of 2019.
The following table presents income tax (benefit) expense and effective income tax rates for the periods presented.

ASSET QUALITY Loans charged-off during the second quarter of 2020, net of recoveries, totaled$192 thousand compared to$441 thousand for the second quarter of 2019. This resulted in a decrease in the annualized net charge-off ratio to 0.08% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 0.19% for the second quarter of 2019. For the first half of 2020, the annualized net charge off ratio was 0.07% compared to 0.18% for the first half of 2019. The higher net charge ratios for the 2019 periods were primarily attributable to charge-offs of a select portfolio of acquired consumer debt consolidation loans, as previously reported. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to gross loans was 1.14% as ofJune 30, 2020 compared to 0.82% as ofDecember 31, 2019 , an increase of 32 basis points. The majority of this increase is attributable to qualitative loss factors for increases in state unemployment rates, includingVirginia , and a qualitative loss factor to provide for losses estimated to have been incurred as ofJune 30, 2020 , as a result of challenges certain borrowers are facing due to the pandemic, evidenced, in part, by loan deferrals and modifications granted to these borrowers. 37
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the first quarter of 2020, the Company downgraded risk ratings on$88.5 million of loans to businesses in industries highly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. During the second quarter of 2020, risk ratings for certain loans in these segments were adjusted as additional information became available. Management believes that these, or a portion of these, loans may require further downgrades and/or other loans to borrowers adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic may require risk rating downgrades. Additionally, loan modifications granted do not necessarily represent that these borrowers will be able to pay amounts deferred or any amounts owed to the Company. The length of the economic slow-down, including the pace at which the economy recovers once governmental mandates are lifted, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's asset quality and the amount of ALL required. The following table presents industry segments the Company believes may be negatively affected by the pandemic and the balances of loans and numbers in each segment. Loans to borrowers in these segments totaled approximately$148.2 million , or 14.1% of the Company's gross loans as ofJune 30, 2020 .

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets increased by$106.3 million to$1.24 billion as ofJune 30, 2020 from$1.13 billion as ofDecember 31, 2019 , primarily due to net loan growth of$124.2 million in the first half of 2020. The following tables present information about the securities portfolio on a taxable-equivalent basis as of the dates stated. As ofJune 30, 2020 andDecember 31, 2019 , available-for-sale securities represented 8.2% and 8.8% of total assets, respectively.

The largest components of this increase were a$77.7 million increase in commercial mortgages (non-owner occupied) and$55.5 million of PPP loans originated in the second quarter of 2020. Net unamortized deferred loan fees increased approximately$2.0 million during the first half of 2020, primarily attributable to$2.3 million of PPP loan processing fees received in the second quarter of 2020, of which$246 thousand was recognized in interest income in the period.
The following table presents the Company's ALL by loan type and the percent of loans in each category to total loans as of the dates stated.

The majority of the increase in the first half of 2020 was primarily due to qualitative loss factors applied to the majority of the company's loan portfolio for higher state unemployment rates, particularly inVirginia , and a qualitative loss factor to estimate reserve needs for modified loans, as noted previously. Also contributing to the increase in the allowance for loan losses sinceDecember 31, 2019 was gross loan growth (excluding PPP loans), and higher specific reserves. Due to the fullU.S. government guarantee on PPP loans, the Company has recorded no allowance for loan losses for the$55.5 million of PPP loans outstanding as ofJune 30, 2020 . In future periods, the Company may be required to establish an allowance for loan losses for these loans, which would result in a provision for loan losses charged to earnings.
As of
39 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As ofJune 30, 2020 , total deposits were$1.00 billion compared to$910.4 million atDecember 31, 2019 , a$96.5 million increase. Of the increase,$47.3 million and$30.4 million was attributable to higher noninterest-bearing deposit account balances and savings and interest-bearing demand deposit accounts. Higher noninterest-bearing deposit balances were partially attributable to PPP loans, which were funded in these accounts.

$ 114,474 $ 260,940 25.9 % As ofJune 30, 2020 , the Company had three fixed rate FHLB advances totaling of$25.0 million and one variable rate FHLB advance totaling$10.0 million outstanding. As ofDecember 31, 2019 , the Company had three fixed rate FHLB advances totaling$35.0 million and one variable rate FHLB advance of$10.0 million outstanding. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, the Company accessed theFederal Reserve Bank of Richmond's ("FRB") PPP Liquidity Facility ("PPPLF"), which provides funding for PPP loans at a fixed rate of 35 basis points per year over the term the funded PPP loan is outstanding. PPP loans securing the PPPLF are afforded preferential regulatory capital treatment. As ofJune 30, 2020 the Company had PPPLF advances totaling$33.2 million .

Liquid assets include cash, interest-earning deposits with other banks, federal funds sold, and investments and loans maturing within one year. The Company's ability to obtain deposits and purchase funds at favorable rates are major factors for liquidity. Management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity that is sufficient to satisfy its depositors' requirements and its customers' credit needs. As ofJune 30, 2020 , cash and cash equivalents totaled$39.4 million ; investment securities maturing in one year or less totaled$11.8 million ; and loans maturing in one year or less totaled$109.3 million . This resulted in a liquidity ratio as ofJune 30, 2020 of 13.0% compared to 21.5% as ofDecember 31, 2019 . The Company determines this ratio by dividing the sum of cash and cash equivalents, and investment securities and loans maturing in one year or less, by total assets. As ofJune 30, 2020 , the Company had a secured borrowing line with the FHLB of$294.7 million , with$228.7 million available, and unsecured federal funds lines of credit with various correspondent banks totaling$41.0 million . Federal funds lines of credit are uncommitted and can be cancelled at any time by the lending bank. As noted previously, the Company pledged PPP loans for FRB advances of an equal amount. Additional borrowing availability under the PPPLF, with the pledging of PPP loans, was approximately$22.3 million , as ofJune 30, 2020 . As ofJune 30, 2020 , other than the potential effect on liquidity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company was not aware of any other known trends, events, or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity. Management has and continues to monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's liquidity. For example, management monitors for unusual changes in deposit balances, access to funding sources, draws, amortization of loan balances, and the various liquidity programs offered by the FRB in response to the pandemic. As ofJune 30, 2020 , management believes the COVID-19 pandemic has not had an adverse effect on the Company's liquidity.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital resources represent funds, earned or obtained, over which a financial institution can exercise greater long-term control in comparison with deposits and borrowed funds. The adequacy of the Company's capital is reviewed by management on an ongoing basis with reference to size, composition, and quality of the Company's resources, and consistency with regulatory requirements and industry standards. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and to absorb potential losses yet allows management to effectively leverage its capital to maximize return to shareholders. The Company's capital, also known as shareholders' equity, is comprised primarily of outstanding common stock, additional paid-in capital, and retained earnings. 40 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shareholders' equity is primarily affected by net income and net unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities, net of taxes. The available-for-sale securities portfolio is reported at fair value with unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, recognized as accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Another factor affecting accumulated other comprehensive income is changes in the fair value of the Company's pension and post-retirement benefit plans and changes in said plan obligations. Shareholders' equity before accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes, was$118.5 million as ofJune 30, 2020 compared to$126.1 million as ofDecember 31, 2019 . The decrease of$7.6 million was primarily attributable to the$8.1 million net loss for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , including the$9.8 million after-tax goodwill impairment charge. Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes, increased by$1.1 million fromDecember 31, 2019 toJune 30, 2020 , due to an increase in net unrealized gains, net of taxes, in the Company's available-for-sale securities portfolio. Book value per share of the Company's common stock, including accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, decreased to$8.98 as ofJune 30, 2020 from$9.51 as ofDecember 31, 2019 . This decrease was primarily attributable to the net loss of$8.1 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 . The Company and the Bank are subject to minimum regulatory capital ratios as defined by theFederal Reserve . As ofJune 30, 2020 , the Company and the Bank's capital ratios continue to be in excess of regulatory minimums and the Bank was "well capitalized" by these guidelines. The Bank is subject to capital rules adopted by federal bank regulators implementing the Basel III regulatory capital reforms adopted by theBasel Committee, and certain changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. These rules require the Bank to comply with the following minimum capital ratios: (i) a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets; (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0% of risk-weighted assets; (iii) a total capital ratio of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets; and (iv) a leverage ratio of 4.0% of average adjusted assets. The following additional capital requirements related to the capital conservation buffer (promulgated by the Basel III regulatory capital rules) require the Bank to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% "capital conservation buffer" (resulting in a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 7.0%), (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the 2.5% capital conservation buffer (resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%), (iii) a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the 2.5% capital conservation buffer (resulting in a minimum total capital ratio of 10.5%), and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer will be subject to constraints on dividends, equity repurchases, and discretionary compensation paid to certain officers, based on the amount of the shortfall. As ofJune 30, 2020 andDecember 31, 2019 , capital ratios of the Bank were in excess of the regulatory conservation buffer levels. The following tables present capital ratios for the Bank, minimum capital ratios required with conservation buffer, and ratios defined as "well capitalized" by the Bank's regulators as of the dates stated.

OFF BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Company offers various financial products to our customers to meet their credit and liquidity needs. These instruments may involve elements of liquidity, credit, and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and stand-by letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. Subject to normal credit standards and risk monitoring procedures, the Company makes contractual commitments to extend credit. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments may expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Conditional commitments are issued by the Company in the form of performance stand-by letters of credit, which guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk of issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. 41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following table presents off balance sheet commitments as of the dates stated.
