If the borrower is no longer experiencing financial difficulty and the renewal/modification did not contain a concessionary interest rate or other concessionary terms, management considers the potential removal of the TDR classification. If deemed appropriate based upon current underwriting, the TDR classification is removed as the borrower has complied with the terms of the loan at the date of renewal/modification and there was a reasonable expectation that the borrower will continue to comply with the terms of the loan after the date of the renewal/modification. Additionally, TDR classification can be removed in circumstances in which the Company performs a non-concessionary re-modification of the loan at terms considered to be at market for loans with comparable risk and management expects the borrower will continue to perform under the re-modified terms based on the borrower's past history of performance. On March 22, 2020, the Interagency Statement was issued by our banking regulators that encourages financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations due to the effects of COVID-19. Additionally, Section 4013 of the CARES Act further provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a TDR as defined by GAAP, from the period beginning March 1, 2020 until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak declared by the President of the United States under the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) terminates. The Interagency Statement was subsequently revised in April 2020 to clarify the interaction of the original guidance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as well as setting forth the banking regulators’ views on consumer protection considerations. In accordance with such guidance, we made modifications in response to COVID-19 impacted borrowers who were not past due and met criteria for modification. This ability to exclude COVID-19-related modifications as troubled debt restructurings, which was set to expire on December 31, 2020, was extended under the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021 to the earlier of 60 days after the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak terminates, or, January 1, 2022. The majority of the loan modifications we made for customers involved three to six month forbearance payments which were added to the end of the note. During 2020, approved modifications were approximately million was still in deferment as of December 31, 2020. Modifications were At December 31, 2020, the Company has one loan totaling $1.1 million classified as a troubled debt restructure. At December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any loans designated as troubled debt restructurings. For the years ending December 31, 2020 and 2019, no loans modified as troubled debt restructurings defaulted on payment. Credit Quality Indicators: The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes primarily non-homogeneous loans with an outstanding balance greater than thousand such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date. Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. The following tables present the risk category of loans by class of loans, based on the most recent analysis performed, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019: December 31, 2020 Special (in thousands) Pass Mention Substandard Doubtful Commercial $ 113,402 $ 3,896 $ 127 $ — Real estate construction 14,447 — 124 — Real estate mortgage: 1-4 family residential 286,925 2,309 3,902 — Multi-family residential 45,974 588 1,292 — Non-farm & non-residential 207,050 8,261 1,888 1,799 Agricultural 45,649 3,288 3,302 — Total $ 713,447 $ 18,342 $ 10,635 $ 1,799 December 31, 2019 Special (in thousands) Pass Mention Substandard Doubtful Commercial $ 83,515 $ 2,785 $ 252 $ — Real estate construction 30,462 1,363 394 — Real estate mortgage: 1-4 family residential 283,048 3,435 4,932 4 Multi-family residential 43,193 4,137 1,292 — Non-farm & non-residential 195,800 7,169 1,939 — Agricultural 51,352 4,459 1,355 — Total $ 687,370 $ 23,348 $ 10,164 $ 4 For consumer loans, the Company evaluates the credit quality based on the aging of the recorded investment in loans, which was previously presented. Non-performing consumer loans are loans which are greater than 89 days past due or on non-accrual status, and total $46 thousand at December 31, 2020 and $95 thousand at December 31, 2019. Non-consumer loans with an outstanding balance less than $200 thousand are evaluated similarly to consumer loans. Loan performance is evaluated based on delinquency status. Both are reviewed at least quarterly and credit quality grades are updated as needed.
