At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we serviced loans sold to unaffiliated parties in the amounts of $422.9 million and $422.3 million, respectively. These represented loans that have been sold for which the Bank continues to provide servicing. These loans are maintained off-balance sheet and are not included in the loans receivable balance. All of the loans serviced were SBA loans.

The Company recorded servicing fee income of $1.0 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Servicing fee income, net of the amortization of servicing assets, is included in other operating income in the consolidated statements of income. Amortization expense was $583,000 and $857,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
