Other Income
Other income in the third quarter of 2020 increased by
- Service charges on deposit accounts decreased by
$98 thousand , or33.4% , due primarily to decreases in overdraft and nonsufficient fund, or NSF, fees as a result of the significant increase in customer deposit balances, which was partially offset by the inclusion of$25 thousand in Virginia Partners service charges on deposit accounts; - Gains on investment securities decreased by
$97 thousand , or100.0% , due primarily to Delmarva recording gains on higher yielding investment securities that were called during the third quarter of 2019 that were not present during the three months ended September 30, 2020; - Mortgage banking income increased by
$1.3 million , or100.0% , due primarily to the inclusion of Virginia Partners’ majority owned subsidiary Johnson Mortgage Company, LLC; - (Losses) on sales of other assets increased by less than

Other income in the first nine months of 2020 increased by
- Service charges on deposit accounts decreased by

In connection with these sales, Virginia Partners reinvested the sale proceeds and deployed excess cash through the purchase of$38.7 million in mortgage-backed investment securities. In addition, gains on investment securities increased due to Delmarva recording a higher amount of gains on higher yielding investment securities that were called during the first nine months of 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019, and equity investment gains recorded in income during the first nine months of 2020 due to market factors that were not present during the nine months ended September 30, 2019; - Mortgage banking income increased by

Balance Sheet
Changes in key balance sheet components as of September 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019 were as follows:
- Total assets as of September 30, 2020 were
$1.54 billion , an increase of$291.4 million , or23.3% , from December 31, 2019. Key drivers of this change were increases in cash and cash equivalents, investment securities available for sale, at fair value and total loans held for investment; - Cash and due from banks as of September 30, 2020 were
$220.6 million , an increase of$184.3 million , or507.8% , from December 31, 2019. Key drivers of this change were total deposit growth outpacing total loan growth and an increase in other borrowings, which were partially offset by an increase in investment securities available for sale, at fair value, and a decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings; - Interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions as of September 30, 2020 were
$34.3 million , an increase of$6.7 million , or24.5% , from December 31, 2019.

$128.0 million , an increase of$23.7 million , or22.7% , from December 31, 2019. Key drivers of this change were management of the investment securities available for sale portfolio in light of the Company's liquidity needs and an increase in unrealized gains on the investment securities available for sale portfolio. The significant inflow of deposits presented the Company with the opportunity to deploy excess cash and cash equivalents primarily into liquid, cash-flowing products while expanding net interest margin and increasing earnings per share; - Loans, net of unamortized discounts on acquired loans of
$4.3 million as of September 30, 2020 were$1.05 billion , an increase of$60.6 million , or6.1% , from December 31, 2019. Key drivers of this change were the origination and funding of approximately$64.2 million in loans under the PPP, which was partially offset by a decrease in organic growth due to higher pay-offs and tempered loan demand due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic; - Total deposits as of September 30, 2020 were
$1.23 billion , an increase of$228.1 million , or22.7% , from December 31, 2019.

$163.9 million , an increase of$59.4 million , or56.8% , from December 31, 2019. Key drivers of this change was an increase in borrowings at the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window under the PPP Liquidity Facility in which the loans under the PPP originated by the Company have been pledged as collateral, and the issuance of$18.1 million in subordinated debt in June 2020, which were partially offset by decreases in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings due to maturities that were not replaced; and - Total stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2020 was
$135.9 million , an increase of$5.1 million , or3.9% , from December 31, 2019. Key drivers of this change were the net income attributable to the Company recorded by the Company for the first nine months of 2020 and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, partially offset by cash dividends paid to shareholders.
Changes in key balance sheet components as of September 30, 2020 compared to September 30, 2019 are as follows; key drivers of these changes include the aforementioned items noted in the balance sheet analysis above and the acquisition of Virginia Partners in November 2019:

To date, management believes that the plans have been implemented successfully. The operation of these plans continues to require daily oversight in order to properly navigate this complex and ever-changing environment.
