Loans, net and allowance for loan losses | 4. Loans, net and allowance for loan losses: The major classifications of loans outstanding, net of deferred loan origination fees and costs at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are summarized as follows. Net deferred loan costs included in loan balances were $908 and $744 in 2019 and 2018, respectively. December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Commercial $ 522,957 $ 494,134 Real estate: Commercial 1,011,423 907,803 Residential 301,378 299,876 Consumer 102,482 121,453 Total $ 1,938,240 $ 1,823,266 Loans outstanding to directors, executive officers, principal stockholders or to their affiliates totaled $12,248 and $14,701 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Advances and repayments during 2019 totaled $7,857 and $9,376 respectively. There were no related party loans that were classified as nonaccrual, past due, or restructured at December 31, 2019 and 2018. Deposits from related parties amounted to $12.9 million at December 31, 2019 and $16.2 million at December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2019, the majority of the Company’s loans were at least partially secured by real estate in the eastern Pennsylvania and southern tier New York counties. Therefore, a primary concentration of credit risk is directly related to the real estate market in these regions. Changes in the general economy, local economy or in the real estate market could affect the ultimate collectability of this portion of the loan portfolio. Management does not believe there are any other significant concentrations of credit risk that could affect the loan portfolio. The changes in the allowance for loan losses account by major classification of loan for the year ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017 were as follows: Real estate December 31, 2019 Commercial Commercial Residential Consumer Total Allowance for loan losses: Beginning balance $ 5,516 $ 10,736 $ 3,892 $ 1,235 $ 21,379 Charge-offs (3,314) (817) (477) (459) (5,067) Recoveries 69 1 29 166 265 Provisions 4,617 1,576 (218) 125 6,100 Ending balance $ 6,888 $ 11,496 $ 3,226 $ 1,067 $ 22,677 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment 363 279 135 777 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment $ 6,525 $ 11,217 $ 3,091 $ 1,067 $ 21,900 Loans receivable: Ending balance $ 522,957 $ 1,011,423 $ 301,378 $ 102,482 $ 1,938,240 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment 4,658 3,048 2,153 261 10,120 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment $ 518,299 $ 1,008,375 $ 299,225 $ 102,221 $ 1,928,120 The allowance for loan losses increased $1.3 million to $22.7 million at December 31, 2019, from $21.4 million at the end of 2018. The increase resulted from a provision for loan losses of $6.1 million less net loans charged-off of $4.8 million. The charge-offs for fiscal 2019 primarily occurred in the fourth quarter. We charged-off $3.3 million of commercial loans in 2019 substantially all of which were in the fourth quarter. Included in this amount was $2.3 million related to certain small business lines of credit in our Greater Delaware Valley market. In March 2020, we identified certain issues with a group of small business lines of credit, all of which had been originated by one of our lenders. All of these lines of credit were subject to credit review at origination and were considered satisfactory at such time. As a number of these lines of credit entered our annual renewal process, we identified changes in the credit quality of the borrowers which warranted action. We commenced a full review of this lender’s portfolio, as well as a review of other loans in our portfolio with similar characteristics. As a result of our review, we determined a number of the small business lines of credit originated by the particular lender to be impaired and collection doubtful at December 31, 2019. As such, we have charged-off $2.3 million of these loans and established a specific reserve of $0.3 million on one other line of credit retrospectively to December 31, 2019. All remaining small business commercial lines of credit for this lender were downgraded to special mention. We believe that all of the other loans in our portfolio with similar characteristics that were subject to our review were properly reflected in our allowance methodology at December 31, 2019. Real estate December 31, 2018 Commercial Commercial Residential Consumer Total Allowance for loan losses: Beginning balance $ 5,513 $ 8,944 $ 3,111 $ 1,392 $ 18,960 Charge-offs (154) (1,250) (405) (545) (2,354) Recoveries 137 136 98 202 573 Provisions 20 2,906 1,088 186 4,200 Ending balance $ 5,516 $ 10,736 $ 3,892 $ 1,235 $ 21,379 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment 50 403 666 60 1,179 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment $ 5,466 $ 10,333 $ 3,226 $ 1,175 $ 20,200 Loans receivable: Ending balance $ 494,134 $ 907,803 $ 299,876 $ 121,453 $ 1,823,266 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment 2,237 3,121 4,071 212 9,641 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment $ 491,897 $ 904,682 $ 295,805 $ 121,241 $ 1,813,625 Real estate December 31, 2017 Commercial Commercial Residential Consumer Total Allowance for loan losses: Beginning balance $ 4,452 $ 7,548 $ 2,961 $ 1,000 $ 15,961 Charge-offs (173) (706) (533) (737) (2,149) Recoveries 20 124 44 160 348 Provisions 1,214 1,978 639 969 4,800 Ending balance $ 5,513 $ 8,944 $ 3,111 $ 1,392 $ 18,960 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment 159 263 336 8 766 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment $ 5,354 $ 8,681 $ 2,775 $ 1,384 $ 18,194 Loans receivable: Ending balance $ 476,199 $ 786,210 $ 287,935 $ 142,721 $ 1,693,065 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment 2,463 4,289 3,793 177 10,722 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment $ 473,736 $ 781,921 $ 284,142 $ 142,544 $ 1,682,343 The following tables present the major classification of loans summarized by the aggregate pass rating and the classified ratings of special mention, substandard and doubtful within the Company’s internal risk rating system at December 31, 2019 and 2018: Special December 31, 2019 Pass Mention Substandard Doubtful Total Commercial $ 513,994 $ 3,837 $ 5,126 $ $ 522,957 Real estate: Commercial 993,645 2,508 15,270 1,011,423 Residential 298,449 597 2,332 301,378 Consumer 102,145 337 102,482 Total $ 1,908,233 $ 6,942 $ 23,065 $ $ 1,938,240 Special December 31, 2018 Pass Mention Substandard Doubtful Total Commercial $ 491,531 $ 869 $ 1,734 $ $ 494,134 Real estate: Commercial 886,849 8,934 12,020 907,803 Residential 295,758 357 3,761 299,876 Consumer 121,229 224 121,453 Total $ 1,795,367 $ 10,160 $ 17,739 $ $ 1,823,266 The increase in commercial special mention loans was primarily due to the downgrade of approximately $2.5 million of small business loans originated by a specific lender that exhibit potential weaknesses that could impact collectability. The increase in substandard commercial loans is due to two relationships that have encountered some financial difficulties, however, both are considered adequately collateralized at December 31, 2019. The decrease in special mention commercial real estate loans and the resulting increase in substandard loans was primarily associated with the downgrade of a $5.1 million commercial real estate credit relationship that was subsequently paid in full during January 2020. The decline in outstanding substandard residential real estate loans was primarily due to the sale of $1.1 million in non-performing residential real estate loans during the first quarter of 2019.

As of December 31, 2019, sufficient collateral supported the outstanding balances.
