There has been no allowance for loan losses recorded for acquired loans with specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality. As of December 31, 2019, for loans that were acquired prior to 2019 with or without specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality, adjustments to the allowance for loan losses have been accounted for through the allowance for loan loss adequacy calculation. The Company maintains a loan review system, which allows for a periodic review of our loan portfolio and the early identification of potential impaired loans. The system takes into consideration, among other things, delinquency status, size of loans, type and market value of collateral and financial condition of the borrowers. Specific loan loss allowances are established for identified losses based on a review of such information. A loan evaluated for impairment is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All loans identified as impaired are evaluated independently. The Company does not aggregate such loans for evaluation purposes. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential mortgage loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are part of a larger relationship that is impaired, or are classified as a troubled debt restructuring. The following tables show the amount of loans in each category that were individually and collectively evaluated for impairment at the dates indicated: Real Estate Loans Commercial Consumer Residential Commercial Construction Loans Loans Total (In thousands) December 31, 2019 Individually evaluated for impairment $ - $ 2,144 $ - $ - $ - $ 2,144 Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality 476 220 - - - 696 Collectively evaluated for impairment 229,305 388,963 17,732 134,150 151,686 921,836 Total Loans $ 229,781 $ 391,327 $ 17,732 $ 134,150 $ 151,686 $ 924,676 Real Estate Loans Commercial Consumer Residential Commercial Construction Loans Loans Total (In thousands) December 31, 2018 Individually evaluated for impairment $ - $ 1,319 $ - $ - $ - $ 1,319 Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality 630 256 - - - 886 Collectively evaluated for impairment 234,893 373,215 17,445 110,542 112,002 848,097 Total Loans $ 235,523 $ 374,790 $ 17,445 $ 110,542 $ 112,002 $ 850,302 The following table includes the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired loans with the associated allowance amount, if applicable.

As of December 31, 2019, troubled debt restructured loans totaled $99,000 and did not require a specific reserve. During 2019, there were no new loan relationships identified as troubled debt restructurings, while one loan identified as a troubled debt restructuring with a balance of $977,000 as of December 31, 2018 was transferred to foreclosed real estate during 2019. During 2019, there was a charge-off in the amount of $451,000 on loans classified as troubled debt restructurings. As of December 31, 2018, troubled debt restructured loans totaled $1.1 million and resulted in specific reserves of $0 . During 2018, there were no new loan relationships identified as troubled debt restructurings, while one loan identified as a troubled debt restructuring with a balance of $23,000 as of December 31, 2017 was paid in full during 2018. During 2018, there were no charge-offs on loans classified as troubled debt restructurings. Foreclosed assets acquired in settlement of loans are carried at fair value less estimated costs to sell and are included in foreclosed real estate owned on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, foreclosed real estate owned totaled $1,556,000 and $1,115,000 , respectively. As of December 31, 2019, included within foreclosed real estate owned are two commercial properties that were foreclosed on or received via a deed in lieu. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has initiated formal foreclosure proceedings on three consumer residential mortgage loans with an outstanding balance of $299,000 . Management uses an eight point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first four categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. Loans greater than 90 days past due are considered Substandard unless full payment is expected. Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category. To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Company has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as nonperformance, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Company’s Loan Review Department is responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans on an ongoing basis. Every credit which must be approved by Loan Committee or the Board of Directors is assigned a risk rating at time of consideration. Loan Review also annually reviews relationships of $1,500,000 and over to assign or re-affirm risk ratings. Loans in the Substandard categories that are collectively evaluated for impairment are given separate consideration in the determination of the allowance.

This $57,000 increase in the required allowance was due primarily to a $417,000 specific reserve for impaired loans and a $447,000 increase in the qualitative factor related to economic conditions. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in the historical loss factor from 0.26% at December 31, 2018 to 0.15% on December 31, 2019. During the period ended December 31, 2018, the allowance for loan losses increased from $7,634,000 to $8,452,000 . This $818,000 increase in the required allowance was due primarily to an $86.1 million increase in loan balances and an additional qualitative factor to allocate reserves for potential risk in large balance loans. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in the historical loss factor from 0.41% at December 31, 2017 to 0.26% on December 31, 2018. Interest income that would have been recorded on loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis under the original terms of the loans was $101,000 and $98,000 for 2019 and 2018, respectively.
