(“Delaware”), the Company added $1,397,000 of loans that were accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30. Based on a review of the loans acquired by senior lending management, which included an analysis of credit deterioration of the loans since origination, the Company recorded a specific credit fair value adjustment of $499,000 . For loans that were acquired with specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality, loan losses will be accounted for through a reduction of the specific reserve and will not impact the allowance for loan losses until actual losses exceed the allotted reserves. For loans acquired without a deterioration of credit quality, losses incurred will result in adjustments to the allowance for loan losses 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. Such 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. We do 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. 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, foreclosed real estate owned totaled $1,077,000 and $1,556,000, respectively. During the three months ended March 3 1 , 20 20 , there were no additions to the foreclosed real estate category . The Co mpany partially disposed of one propert y that w as previously transferred to foreclosed real estate owned with a carrying value of $479,000 through the sale of the propert y . The remaining proceeds from the sale of this property are being held in escrow pending final disposition. As of March 3 1 , 20 20 , the Company has initiated formal foreclosure proceedings on three properties classified as consumer residential mortgages with an aggregate carrying value of $296,000 . The following table shows 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 March 31, 2020 (In thousands) Individually evaluated for impairment $ - $ 2,096 $ - $ - $ - $ 2,096 Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality 467 213 - - - 680 Collectively evaluated for impairment 226,906 396,183 16,622 132,716 153,394 925,821 Total Loans $ 227,373 $ 398,492 $ 16,622 $ 132,716 $ 153,394 $ 928,597 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 The following table includes the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired loans with the associated allowance amount, if applicable.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, troubled debt restructured loans totaled $96,000 and $ 99,000 , respectively , with no specific reserve. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no new loans identified as troubled debt restructurings nor did the Company recognized any charge-off on a loan that was previously identified as a troubled debt restructuring. 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. All loans greater than 90 days past due are considered Substandard. Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category. On April 7, 2020, federal banking regulators issued a revised interagency statement that included guidance on their approach for the accounting of loan modifications in light of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The guidance interprets current accounting standards and indicates that a lender can conclude that a borrower is not experiencing financial difficulty if short-term modifications are made in response to COVID-19, such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant related to the loans in which the borrower is less than 30 days past due on its contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. The agencies confirmed in working with the staff of the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief are not TDRs. To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Bank 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. The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate Pass and the criticized categories of Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss within the internal risk rating system as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands): Special Doubtful Pass Mention Substandard or Loss Total March 31, 2020 Commercial real estate loans $ 384,948 $ 10,633 $ 2,911 $ - $ 398,492 Commercial loans 132,248 240 228 - 132,716 Total $ 517,196 $ 10,873 $ 3,139 $ - $ 531,208 Special Doubtful Pass Mention Substandard or Loss Total December 31, 2019 Commercial real estate loans $ 376,109 $ 12,268 $ 2,950 $ - $ 391,327 Commercial loans 133,695 248 207 - 134,150 Total $ 509,804 $ 12,516 $ 3,157 $ - $ 525,477 For residential real estate loans, construction loans and consumer loans, the Company evaluates credit quality based on the performance of the individual credits.

The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aging categories of performing loans and nonaccrual loans as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands): Current 31-60 Days Past Due 61-90 Days Past Due Greater than 90 Days Past Due and still accruing Non-Accrual Total Past Due and Non-Accrual Total Loans March 31, 2020 Real Estate loans Residential $ 225,840 $ 849 $ 205 $ - $ 479 $ 1,533 $ 227,373 Commercial 395,516 784 149 - 2,043 2,976 398,492 Construction 16,622 - - - - - 16,622 Commercial loans 132,623 - 40 - 53 93 132,716 Consumer loans 152,770 342 114 - 168 624 153,394 Total $ 923,371 $ 1,975 $ 508 $ - $ 2,743 $ 5,226 $ 928,597 Current 31-60 Days Past Due 61-90 Days Past Due Greater than 90 Days Past Due and still accruing Non-Accrual Total Past Due and Non-Accrual Total Loans December 31, 2019 Real Estate loans Residential $ 228,242 $ 727 $ 245 $ - $ 567 $ 1,539 $ 229,781 Commercial 388,117 176 2,935 - 99 3,210 391,327 Construction 17,695 - 37 - - 37 17,732 Commercial loans 134,018 82 - - 50 132 134,150 Consumer loans 151,309 233 65 - 79 377 151,686 Total $ 919,381 $ 1,218 $ 3,282 $ - $ 795 $ 5,295 $ 924,676 Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the allowance for loan losses. When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the allowance. As of March 3 1 , 20 20 , the allocation of the allowance pertaining to each major category of loans is higher than the allocation as of December 31, 201 9 . This in crease is due primarily to a n increase in the qualitative factor for economic conditions which worsened as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in this factor added $1,742,000 to the allowance for loan losses. This was offset partially by a decrease in the qualitative factor relating to loan growth which decreased by $1,087,000 due to a reduction in loan growth from 8.75% in 2019 to 1.72% in the first quarter of 2020 .
