Results of Operations
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $1,967,000 compared to $2,085,000 for the same period last year, representing an decrease of $118,000 or 5.66%. Basic and diluted earnings per share decreased $0.07 from $1.01 at September 30, 2023 to $0.94 at September 30, 2024. The decrease in net income is primarily due to $1,334,000 more interest expense on deposits and other borrowings, $428,000 more provision for credit losses, $332,000 less investment income, offset by $2,116,000 more interest and fees on loans.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Bank recorded a provision for credit loss expense of $411,000 and a reserve for unfunded commitments of $11,000, which is included in other expenses. This compares to $(17,000) for the same period last year, representing an increase of $428,000. The provision recorded during the quarter mainly reflected allocations necessitated by net loan growth and adjustments to historical loss factors to better represent expectations for future credit losses. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total loans and leases outstanding was 1.19% at the end of the quarter, up 1 basis point from the prior quarter and down 11 basis points from one year prior.
At September 30, 2024 net loans increased 9.65%. Interest and fees on loans at September 30, 2024 increased $2,116,000 over the same three month time period of 2023. Interest expense increased by $1,334,000 from $2,687,000 at September 30, 2023 to $4,021,000 at September 30, 2024. The higher interest expense is a result of higher interest rates paid on the balances of interest-bearing deposits than for the same time period of 2023 and the increase of interest on borrowed funds.
Noninterest income increased by $140,000, or 11.56%, to $1,351,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $1,211,000 for same time period of 2023. The increase is attributed to an increase in service charges on deposit accounts, income from title insurance subsidiaries, partially offset by a decrease in gain on sale of mortgage loans.
Noninterest expense increased $308,000 from $4,735,000 at September 30, 2023 to $5,043,000 at September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily related to increases in salary and employee benefits, debit card expense, and core processing expenses.
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $453,000 compared to $481,000 one year prior. The decrease in tax expense is due to less revenue for the quarter.
Financial Condition
At September 30, 2024 total assets amounted to $817,971,000, an increase of 3.41% above total assets at December 31, 2023 of $791,015,000, an increase of $26,956,000. Total net loans increased $57,257,000 or 9.65% from $593,256,000 at December 31, 2023 to $650,513,000 at September 30, 2024. Total deposits at December 31, 2023 amounted to $691,584,000, compared to $708,771,000 at September 30, 2024, an increase of 2.49% or $17,187,000.
Stockholders' equity totaled $81,358,000 at September 30, 2024 compared to $74,778,000 at December 31, 2023. The $6,580,000 increase during the period is net income for 2024, net proceeds from the issuance of common stock from the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, partially offset by dividends paid.
Asset Quality
Bank of Botetourt's asset quality remained strong for the third quarter 2024. Provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2024 was $411,000 compared with $36,000 in the previous quarter and $(17,000) in the same quarter of 2023.
The Bank had no foreclosed properties at December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024, respectively. Therefore, non-performing assets only consisted of nonaccrual loans. Non-performing assets increased from $121,000 at December 31, 2023 to $247,000 at September 30, 2024. The increase is attributable to the addition of four commercial and industrial loans, offset by the removal of one residential lot, three commercial and industrial loans, and one auto loan. The commercial and industrial additions are collateralized by commercial vehicles along with a UCC blanket lien on inventory, equipment and accounts. The sale of collateral for one residential lot loan and one commercial and industrial loan resulted in the subsequent paydown of the loan with the auto loan balance being charged-off. During the third quarter, two commercial and industrial loans totaling $143,000 were charged-off. There were no new additions to nonaccrual loans during the third quarter. The increase in nonaccrual loans is attributed to the new additions and the charge-off and payment activity of the aforementioned loans.
Net charge-offs during the third quarter of 2024 were $117,000 or 7 basis points annualized on total average loans outstanding. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2024 were comprised of charge-offs of $171,000 partially offset by recoveries of $54,000. Compared to the prior quarter, net charge-offs decreased $30,000 or 2 basis points annualized on total average loans outstanding. Compared to December 31, 2023, net charge-offs decreased $124,000 or 8 basis point annualized on total average loans outstanding.

Bank of Botetourt qualified for and adopted the optional, simplified measure of capital adequacy, the community bank leverage ratio framework, 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.
