At December 31, 2017, total net loans included in the table above include $58,551,000, of the loans acquired in the Focus transaction that were not purchased credit impaired loans. There was a ($425,000) credit to the provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2018, compared to a provision for loan losses of $115,000 for the third quarter of 2017. The credit to the provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2018 was primarily due to net recoveries of $1,187,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, there was a $7,279,000 provision for loan losses compared to a $390,000 provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in the provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2018 compared to the first nine months of 2017 was primarily due to a single large lending relationship that was placed on nonaccrual during the second quarter of 2018. At September 30, 2018, the recorded investment of this lending relationship was $21,764,000, and the Company had a $7,000,000 specific loan loss reserve allocated for this lending relationship. Additionally, subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2018, the recorded investment of this lending relationship was reduced to $17,384,000. Net recoveries totaled $1,187,000 for the third quarter of 2018, and $489,000 for the first nine months of 2018, compared to net recoveries of $236,000 for the third quarter of 2017, and net recoveries of $269,000 for the first nine months of 2017.

At September 30, 2018, there were also $22,725,000 of loans less than 30 days past due included in nonaccrual loans held-for-investment, which included $21,764,000 of loans related to a single lending relationship. At December 31, 2017, there were also $840,000 of loans less than 30 days past due included in nonaccrual loans held-for-investment. Management’s classification of a loan as “nonaccrual” is an indication that there is reasonable doubt as to the full recovery of principal or interest on the loan. At that point, the Company stops accruing interest income, and reverses any uncollected interest that had been accrued as income. The Company begins recognizing interest income only as cash interest payments are received and it has been determined the collection of all outstanding principal is not in doubt. The loans may or may not be collateralized, and collection efforts are being pursued. Credit Quality Indicators Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of customers are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The Company’s loan portfolio is concentrated in commercial (primarily manufacturing, wholesale, and service) and real estate lending, with the remaining balance in consumer loans. While no specific industry concentration is considered significant, the Company’s lending operations are located in the Company’s market areas that are dependent on the technology and real estate industries and their supporting companies. Thus, the Company’s borrowers could be adversely impacted by a downturn in these sectors of the economy which could reduce the demand for loans and adversely impact the borrowers’ ability to repay their loans. The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. Nonclassified loans generally include those loans that are expected to be repaid in accordance with contractual loans terms. Classified loans are those loans that are assigned a substandard, substandard-nonaccrual, or doubtful risk rating using the following Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well‑defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Substandard‑Nonaccrual. Loans classified as substandard‑nonaccrual are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any, and it is probable that the Company will not receive payment of the full contractual principal and interest. Loans so classified have a well‑defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. In addition, the Company no longer accrues interest on the loan because of the underlying weaknesses. Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loss. Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectable or of so little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. This classification does not necessarily mean that a loan has no recovery or salvage value; but rather, there is much doubt about whether, how much, or when the recovery would occur. Loans classified as loss are immediately charged off against the allowance for loan losses. Therefore, there is no balance to report as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The following table provides a summary of the loan portfolio by loan type and credit quality classification at period end: September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Nonclassified Classified Total Nonclassified Classified Total Commercial $ 577,325 $ 23,269 $ 600,594 $ 554,913 $ 18,383 $ 573,296 Real estate: CRE 982,852 5,639 988,491 766,988 5,879 772,867 Land and construction 131,548 — 131,548 100,763 119 100,882 Home equity 115,019 1,638 116,657 78,486 690 79,176 Residential mortgages 52,441 — 52,441 44,561 — 44,561 Consumer 9,932 — 9,932 12,394 1 12,395 Total $ 1,869,117 $ 30,546 $ 1,899,663 $ 1,558,105 $ 25,072 $ 1,583,177 The increase in classified assets at September 30, 2018 was primarily due to seasonal advances on a line of credit associated with a single large lending relationship that was moved to classified loans in the fourth quarter of 2017, which totaled $21,764,000 at September 30, 2018, compared to $12,500,000 at December 31, 2017. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed in accordance with the Company’s underwriting policy. The balance of troubled debt restructurings at September 30, 2018 was $676,000, which are all accrual loans. The balance of troubled debt restructurings at December 31, 2017 was $325,000, which included $16,000 of nonaccrual loans and $309,000 of accruing loans. Approximately $46,000 and $1,000 of specific reserves were established with respect to these loans as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings: During the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Pre-modification Post-modification Number Outstanding Outstanding of Recorded Recorded Troubled Debt Restructurings: Contracts Investment Investment (Dollars in thousands) Commercial 2 $ 159 $ 159 Home equity 1 225 225 Total 3 $ 384 $ 384 The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings: During the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Pre-modification Post-modification Number Outstanding Outstanding of Recorded Recorded Troubled Debt Restructurings: Contracts Investment Investment (Dollars in thousands) Commercial 3 $ 318 $ 318 Total 3 $ 318 $ 318 During the three months ended September 30, 2018, there were no new loans modified as troubled debt restructurings in which the amount of principal or accrued interest owed from the borrower was forgiven or which resulted in a charge-off or change to the allowance for loan losses. The Company has committed to lend no additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings as of September 30, 2018. A loan is considered to be in payment default when it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms. There were no defaults on troubled debt restructurings, within twelve months following the modification, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. A loan that is a troubled debt restructuring on nonaccrual status may return to accruing status after a period of at least six months of consecutive payments in accordance with the modified terms. |
