LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES | 3. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Major classifications of loans (net of deferred loan fees of $830,945 at March 31, 2021 and $676,155 at December 31, 2020, respectively) are shown in the table below.: March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Commercial $ 42,201,186 $ 51,041,397 Commercial real estate: Construction 10,373,102 14,813,726 Other 156,377,427 146,187,886 Consumer: Real estate 81,231,579 71,836,041 Other 4,163,221 4,480,491 Paycheck Protection Program 27,936,714 32,443,132 322,283,229 320,802,673 Allowance for loan losses (4,296,165 ) (4,185,694 ) Loans, net $ 317,987,064 $ 316,616,979 We had $91.0 million and $76.0 million of loans pledged as collateral to secure funding with the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) Discount Window at March 31, 2021 and at December 31, 2020, respectively. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law, which established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and allocated $349.0 billion of loans to be issued by financial institutions. Under the program, the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) will forgive loans, in whole or in part, made by approved lenders to eligible borrowers for payroll and other permitted purposes in accordance with the requirements of the program. These loans carry a fixed rate of 1.00% and a term of two years, if not forgiven, in whole or in part. The loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and as long as the borrower submits its loan forgiveness application within ten months of completion of the covered period, the borrower is not required to make any payments until the forgiveness amount is remitted to the lender by the SBA. The Bank received a processing fee ranging from 1% to 5% based on the size of the loan from the SBA. The fees are deferred and amortized over the life of the loans in accordance with ASC 310-20. The Bank received $1.4 million of processing fees related to the first round of PPP. The Bank recognized $0.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (“PPP/ HCEA Act”) was signed into law on April 24, 2020. The PPP/HCEA Act authorized additional funding under the CARES Act of $310.0 billion for PPP loans to be issued by financial institutions through the SBA. The Bank provided $37.8 million in funding to 266 customers through the PPP as of March 31, 2021. Because these loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and did not undergo the Bank’s typical underwriting process, they are not graded and do not have an associated reserve. On December 27, 2020, the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act (“Economic Aid Act”) was enacted, which reauthorized lending under the PPP program through March 31, 2021, with an additional $325 billion. On March 31, 2021, the PPP Extension Act of 2021 was signed into law, which formally changed the PPP application deadline from March 31, 2021 to May 31, 2021. Under the Economic Aid Act, the SBA will forgive loans, in whole or in part, made by approved lenders to eligible borrowers for payroll and other permitted purposes in accordance with the requirements of the program. These loans carry a fixed rate of 1.00% and a term of five years, if not forgiven, in whole or in part. The loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and as long as the borrower submits its loan forgiveness application within ten months of completion of the covered period, the borrower is not required to make any payments until the forgiveness amount is remitted to the lender by the SBA. The Bank will receive a processing fee based on the size of the loan from the SBA, and a tiered structure. For loans up to $50,000 in principal, the lender processing fee will be the lesser of 50% of the principal amount or $2,500. For loans between $50,000 and $350,000 in principal, the lender processing fee will be 5% of the principal amount. For loans $350,000 and above, the lender processing fee will be 3% of the principal amount. For loans of at least $2.0 million, the lender processing fee will be 1% of the principal amount. The fees are deferred and amortized over the life of the loans in accordance with ASC 310-20. As of March 31, 2021, the Bank received 193 applications with a total loan amount of $16.1 million. Of those 193 applications, the SBA approved 184 applications in the aggregate amount of $15.7 million. The Bank funded 176 loans in the aggregate amount of $15.5 million. The Bank received $0.8 million of processing fees related to the second round of PPP. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Bank recognized $0.6 million in PPP processing fees for the first and second round of PPP. Our portfolio grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations of the loan agreements as scheduled. Our internal credit risk grading system is based on experience with similarly graded loans, industry best practices, and regulatory guidance. Our portfolio is graded in its entirety, with the exception of the PPP loans. Our internally assigned grades pursuant to the Board-approved lending policy are as follows: ● Excellent ● Good ● Satisfactory ● Watch ● OAEM ● Substandard ● Doubtful ● Loss The following tables illustrate credit quality by class and internally assigned grades at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. “Pass” includes loans internally graded as excellent, good and satisfactory.

As of March 31, 2021, there were 12 TDRs with a balance of $5.3 million compared to 14 TDRs with a balance of $5.8 million as of December 31, 2020. These TDRs were granted extended payment terms with no principal reduction. The structure of two of the loans changed to interest only. All TDRs were performing as agreed as of March 31, 2021. No TDRs defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, which were modified within the previous twelve months. Regulatory agencies, as set forth in the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (initially issued on March 22, 2020 and revised on April 7, 2020), have encouraged financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. In this statement, the regulatory agencies expressed their view of loan modification programs as positive actions that may mitigate adverse effects on borrowers due to COVID-19 and that the agencies will not criticize institutions for working with borrowers in a safe and sound manner. Moreover, the revised statement provides that eligible loan modifications related to COVID-19 may be accounted for under section 4013 of the CARES Act or in accordance with ASC 310-40. Under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, banks may elect not to categorize loan modifications as TDRs if the modifications are related to COVID-19, executed on a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019, and executed between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of December 31, 2020 or 60 days after the date of termination of the National Emergency. All short-term loan modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief are not considered TDRs. Beginning in March 2020, the Bank provided payment accommodations to customers, consisting of 60-day principal deferral to borrowers negatively impacted by COVID-19. The Bank processed approximately $0.7 million in principal deferments to 84 loans, with an aggregate loan balance of $25.9 million, during the year ended December 31, 2020. The principal deferments represent 0.24% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2020. The Bank has examined the payment accommodations granted to borrowers in response to COVID-19 and classified 8 loans, with an aggregate loan balance of $3.9 million, that were granted payment accommodations as TDRs given the continued financial difficulty of the customer, associated industry risk, and multiple deferral requests. As of March 31, 2021, 6 loans remain classified as TDRs with an aggregate balance of $3.5 million. All other borrowers were current prior to relief, were not experiencing financial difficulty prior to COVID-19, and the Bank determined they were not considered TDRs. Additionally, of the 75 loans that received payment accommodations that are not classified as TDRs, 22 loans, with an aggregate loan balance of $5.1 million, have paid their loan in full, 7 loans, with an aggregate loan balance of $0.8 million, are past due less than 30 days, and 46 loans, with an aggregate loan balance of $21.6 million, have commenced paying as agreed as of March 31, 2021. There are no loans that received payment accommodation past due greater than 30 days. The Bank will continue to examine payment accommodations as requested by borrowers. |
