Specific loan terms vary as to interest rate, repayment, and collateral requirements based on the type of loan requested and the credit worthiness of the prospective borrower. Credit risk tends to be geographically concentrated in that a majority of the loan customers are located in the markets serviced by the Company. Loan performance may be adversely affected by factors impacting the general economy or conditions specific to the real estate market such as geographic location and/or property type. A description of the Company’s different loan segments follows: Commercial Loans: Commercial credit is extended primarily to middle market and small business customers. Commercial loans are generally made in the Company’s market place for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate and for other business purposes. Loans will generally be guaranteed in full or for a meaningful amount by the businesses’ major owners. Underwriting of commercial loans is based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the business and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided. Residential Mortgage and Consumer Loans: The Company originates mortgage and consumer loans including principally residential real estate and home equity lines and loans. Each loan type is evaluated on debt to income, type of collateral and loan to collateral value, credit history and Company relationship with the borrower. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Company estimates losses based on the identification of specific problem loans through its credit review process and also estimates losses inherent in other loans on an aggregate basis by loan type. The credit review process includes the independent evaluation of the loan officer assigned risk ratings by the Chief Credit Officer and a third party loan review company. Such risk ratings are assigned loss component factors that reflect the Company’s loss estimate for each group of loans. It is management’s and the board of directors’ responsibility to oversee the lending process to ensure that all credit risks are properly identified, monitored, and controlled, and that loan pricing, terms, and other safeguards against non-performance and default are commensurate with the level of risk undertaken and is rated as such based on a risk-rating system. Factors considered in assigning risk ratings and loss component factors include: borrower specific information related to expected future cash flows and operating results, collateral values, financial condition, payment status and other information; levels of and trends in portfolio charge-offs and recoveries; levels in portfolio delinquencies; effects of changes in loan concentrations and observed trends in the economy and other qualitative measurements. The Company’s risk-rating system as defined below is consistent with the system used by regulatory agencies and consistent with industry practices. Loan classifications of Substandard, Doubtful or Loss are consistent with the regulatory definitions of classified assets. Pass : This category represents loans performing to contractual terms and conditions and the primary source of repayment is adequate to meet the obligation. The Company has five categories within the Pass classification depending on strength of repayment sources, collateral values and financial condition of the borrower. Special Mention : This category represents loans performing to contractual terms and conditions; however the primary source of repayment or the borrower is exhibiting some deterioration or weaknesses in financial condition that could potentially threaten the borrowers’ future ability to repay our loan principal and interest or fees due. Substandard : This category represents loans that the primary source of repayment has significantly deteriorated or weakened which has or could threaten the borrowers’ ability to make scheduled payments. The weaknesses require close supervision by the Company’s management and there is a distinct possibility that the Company could sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Such weaknesses could jeopardize the timely and ultimate collection of our loan principal and interest or fees due. Loss may not be expected or evident, however, loan repayment is inadequately supported by current financial information or pledged collateral. Doubtful : Loans so classified have all the inherent weaknesses of a substandard loan with the added provision that collection or liquidation in full is highly questionable and not reasonably assured. The probability of at least partial loss is high, but extraneous factors might strengthen the asset to prevent loss. The validity of the extraneous factors must be continuously monitored. Once these factors are questionable the loan should be considered for full or partial charge-off. Loss : Loans so classified are considered uncollectible, and of such little value that their continuance as active assets of the Company is not warranted. Such loans are fully charged off. Residential and consumer loans are rated non-performing if they are delinquent in payments ninety or more days, or a TDR with less than six (6) months current contractual performance or past maturity. All other residential and consumer loans not rated pass or better are reviewed on a case by case basis at the time of a credit event.

The Company recognizes income on impaired loans by recording all payments as a reduction of principal on such loans. Impaired loans include loans modified in TDRs where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, postponement or forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection. The following table presents the recorded investment in troubled debt restructured loans as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 based on payment performance status: Commercial Commercial & Residential (Dollars in thousands) Real Estate Industrial Real Estate Total December 31, 2019 Performing $ 416 $ 131 $ 909 $ 1,456 Non-performing 395 35 638 1,068 Total $ 811 $ 166 $ 1,547 $ 2,524 December 31, 2018 Performing $ 431 $ — $ 475 $ 906 Non-performing 1,531 — 517 2,048 Total $ 1,962 $ — $ 992 $ 2,954 Troubled debt restructured loans are considered impaired and are included in the previous impaired loans disclosures in this footnote. As of December 31, 2019, we have not committed to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs. There were four TDRs with an outstanding balance of $768 thousand that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2019. There was one TDR with an outstanding balance of $306 thousand that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2018.

There were no TDRs for which there were payment defaults within twelve months following the date of the restructuring for the year ended December 31, 2019. There were no TDRs for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the date of the restructuring for the year ended December 31, 2018. Loans are considered to be in payment default once they are greater than 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms. There were no charge-offs on defaulted TDRs during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. |
