Gates Little, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated that the Company's net interest margins decreased by approximately $12,000 or (1.06%) during the quarter as compared to the same period in 2018. Net interest income before provision for loan losses was approximately $1.2 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the three-months ended September 30, 2019 total interest income increased approximately $64,000 or 4.67% as compared to the same period in 2018.  Total interest expense increased approximately $77,000 or 36.93% for the three-months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. Provision for loan and lease losses increased approximately $6,000 during the quarter as compared to the same period in 2018.  Net interest income after provision for loan and lease losses decreased approximately $19,000, or (1.58%) for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same quarter in 2018.  For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, total non-interest income decreased approximately $1,300 or (3.27%) while total non-interest expense decreased approximately $22,000 or (2.13%) as compared to the same three-month period in 2018.  The decrease in non-interest income was primarily attributable to a decrease in customer service fees of approximately $2,900 or (8.85%) offset in part by an increase in miscellaneous income of approximately $1,600 or 24.61%.  The decrease in non-interest expense was primarily attributable to decreases in salaries and benefits of approximately $12,000, professional service expenses of approximately $14,000 and data processing expenses of approximately $1,400 offset in part by an increase in occupancy expenses of approximately $5,000. 

The Company's total assets at September 30, 2019 were $96.2 million, as compared to $97.7 million at June 30, 2019.  Total stockholders' equity was approximately $11.9 million at September 30, 2019 or 12.4% of total assets as compared to approximately $11.8 million at June 30, 2019 or approximately 12.0% of total assets.
