The Company evaluates risk ratings on an ongoing basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Pass : Loans classified as Pass are well protected by the paying capacity and net worth of the borrower. 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 Bank’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 borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the collection or the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company 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.

A loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and, therefore, is classified as non-accruing. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had collateral dependent loans with an amortized cost balance as follows: commercial real estate - investor of $7.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively, commercial real estate - owner occupied of $565,000 and $4.0 million, respectively, and commercial and industrial of $199,000 and $160,000, respectively. In addition, the Company had residential and consumer loans collateralized by residential real estate, which are in the process of foreclosure, with an amortized cost balance of $1.6 million and $858,000 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The following table presents the recorded investment in non-accrual loans, by loan portfolio segment as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands): June 30, December 31, 2023 2022 Commercial real estate – investor $ 13,000 $ 10,483 Commercial real estate – owner occupied 565 4,025 Commercial and industrial 199 331 Residential real estate 6,174 5,969 Other consumer 2,820 2,457 $ 22,758 $ 23,265 At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the non-accrual loans were included in the allowance for credit loss calculation and the Company did not recognize or accrue interest income on these loans. At June 30, 2023, there were no loans that were past due 90 days or greater and still accruing interest. At December 31, 2022, there was one Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan for $14,000 that was past due 90 days or greater and still accrued interest, which subsequently became current. Per Small Business Administration (“SBA”) guidelines, the SBA will pay accrued interest through the deferral period up to a maximum of 120 days past due. Given these servicing guidelines, PPP loans that are 90 to 120 days past due will be reported as accruing loans.

Since adoption, the Company has modified certain loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. These modifications may include a reduction in interest rate, an extension in term, principal forgiveness and/or other than insignificant payment delay. At June 30, 2023, loans with modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty totaled $898,000 related to term extensions, which included residential real estate of $658,000 and other consumer of $240,000. The Company closely monitors the performance of the loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. Of the $898,000 loans with modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, $755,000 were current and one residential loan of $143,000 had a payment default during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, the Company classified certain loans as troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) loans when credit terms to a borrower in financial difficulty were modified in accordance with ASC 310-40. Since adoption of this ASU, the Company has ceased to recognize or measure for new TDRs but those existing at December 31, 2022 remain until settled. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, TDR loans totaled $13.5 million and $13.9 million, respectively. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were $6.2 million and $6.4 million, respectively, of TDR loans included in the non-accrual loan totals. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $436,000 and $590,000, respectively, of specific reserve allocated to one loan that was classified as a TDR loan. Non-accrual loans which become TDR loans are generally returned to accrual status after six months of performance. In addition to the TDR loans included in non-accrual loans, the Company also has TDR loans classified as accruing loans, which totaled $7.3 million and $7.5 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
