Many of the Company’s commercial and industrial loans have a real estate component as part of the collateral securing the loan. Commercial and industrial loans are primarily secured by assets of the business, such as accounts receivable and inventory. Due to the nature of the collateral securing these loans, the liquidation of these assets may be problematic and costly. Commercial Real Estate Loans. Commercial real estate owner occupied loans rely on the cash flow from the successful operation of the borrower’s business to make repayment. If the operating company experiences difficulties in terms of sales volume and/or profitability, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. Commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans rely on the payment of rent by third party tenants. The borrower’s ability to repay the loan or sell the property may be impacted by loss of tenants, lower lease rates needed to attract new tenants or the inability to sell a completed project in a timely fashion and at a profit. Commercial real estate owner occupied and non-owner occupied loans are secured by the underlying properties. The local economy and real estate market affect the appraised value of these properties which may impact the ultimate repayment of these loans. Land and Development Loans. Land and development loans are primarily repaid by the sale of the developed properties or by conversion to a permanent term loan. These loans are dependent upon the completion of the project on time and within budget, which may be impacted by general economic conditions. The Company requires cash collateral in an interest reserve in order to extend credit on construction projects to mitigate the credit risk. Home Equity Loans. This segment consists of both home equity lines of credit and home equity term loans on single family residences. These loans rely on the personal income of the borrower for repayment which may be impacted by economic conditions, such as unemployment levels, interest rates and the housing market. These loans are primarily secured by second liens on the property, which serves as the secondary source of repayment. The secondary source of repayment may be impaired by the real estate market and local regulations. The Company no longer originates home equity lines of credit or home equity term loans. Residential Real Estate Loans. Included in this segment are residential mortgages on single family residences. These loans rely on the personal income of the borrower for repayment which may be impacted by economic conditions, such as unemployment levels, interest rates and the housing market. These loans are primarily secured by a lien on the underlying property, which serves as the secondary source of repayment. The secondary source of repayment may be impaired by the real estate market and local regulations. The Company no longer originates residential real estate loans on single family residences. Other Loans . Other loans consist of personal credit lines, mobile home loans and consumer installment loans. These loans rely on the borrowers’ personal income for repayment and are either unsecured or secured by personal use assets and mobile homes. These loans may be impacted by economic conditions such as unemployment levels. The liquidation of the assets securing these loans may be difficult and costly. The allowance for loan losses was $15.7 million and $15.5 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to gross loans held-for-investment was 0.98% at March 31, 2017 and 0.97% at December 31, 2016. The provision for loan losses charged to expense is based upon historical loan loss and recovery experience, a series of qualitative factors and an evaluation of incurred losses in the current loan portfolio, including the evaluation of impaired loans under FASB ASC 310, Receivables A loan is considered to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. An insignificant delay in payment or insignificant shortfall in amount of payments received does not necessarily result in a loan being identified as impaired. For this purpose, delays less than 90 days are considered to be insignificant. Impairment losses are included in the provision for loan losses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Loans not individually reviewed are evaluated as a group using reserve factor percentages based on historical loss and recovery experience and qualitative factors. Such loans generally include consumer loans, residential real estate loans and small business loans. In determining the appropriate level of the general pooled allowance, management makes estimates based on internal risk ratings, which take into account such factors as debt service coverage, loan-to-value ratios, management’s abilities and external factors. The following table presents the Company’s components of impaired loans receivable, segregated by class of loans. Commercial and consumer loans that were collectively evaluated for impairment are not included in the data that follows: Impaired Loans As of March 31, 2017 Recorded Investment Unpaid Principal Balance Related Allowance Average Recorded Investment Accrued Interest Income Recognized Cash Interest Income Recognized For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 With no related allowance: Commercial: CRE owner occupied $ 327 $ 506 $ — $ 330 $ — $ — CRE non-owner occupied 504 512 — 510 — — Consumer: Residential real estate 3,022 3,386 — 3,047 — — Home equity lines of credit 68 72 — 70 — — Home equity term loans 68 83 — 68 — — Other 78 87 — 81 — — With an allowance recorded: N/A Total commercial $ 831 $ 1,018 $ — $ 840 $ — $ — Total consumer $ 3,236 $ 3,628 $ — $ 3,266 $ — $ — Impaired Loans As of March 31, 2016 Recorded Investment Unpaid Principal Balance Related Allowance Average Recorded Investment Accrued Interest Income Recognized Cash Interest Income Recognized For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 With no related allowance: Commercial: CRE non-owner occupied $ 613 $ 834 $ — $ 622 $ — $ — Consumer: Residential real estate 3,110 3,237 — 3,134 — — Home equity term loans 83 92 — 85 — — Other 96 96 — 99 — — With an allowance recorded: N/A Total commercial $ 613 $ 834 $ — $ 622 $ — $ — Total consumer $ 3,289 $ 3,425 $ — $ 3,318 $ — $ — In accordance with FASB ASC 310, those impaired loans for which the collateral is sufficient to support the outstanding principal do not result in a specific allowance for loan losses. Included in impaired loans at March 31, 2017 were fourteen TDRs totaling $2.3 million, for which the collateral is sufficient to support the outstanding principal, four of which were in accruing status. There were no TDRs at March 31, 2017 that included a commitment to lend additional funds as of March 31, 2017. There were no TDR agreements entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any TDR agreements that had subsequently defaulted that were entered into within the respective preceding twelve months.

Behind each numeric category is a defined set of characteristics reflective of the particular level of risk. The risk rating system is based on a 10-point grade. The upper six grades are for “pass” categories, the seventh grade is for the “criticized” category, the eighth grade represents “classified” categories which are equivalent to the guidelines utilized by the OCC and the final two grades are for “doubtful” and “loss” categories. The portfolio manager is responsible for assigning, maintaining, and documenting accurate risk ratings for all commercial loans and commercial real estate loans. The portfolio manager assigns a risk rating at the inception of the loan, reaffirms it annually, and adjusts the rating based on the performance of the loan. As part of the loan review process, the Chief Credit Officer or Deputy Chief Credit Officer will review risk ratings for accuracy. The portfolio manager’s risk rating will also be reviewed periodically by the third-party loan review function and the Bank’s regulators. To calculate risk ratings in a consistent fashion, the Company uses a Risk Rating Methodology that assesses quantitative and qualitative components which include elements of the Company’s financial condition, abilities of management, position in the market, collateral and guarantor support and the impact of changing conditions. When combined with professional judgment, an overall risk rating is assigned.
