These loans carry a fixed rate of 1.00% and a term of two years or five years , if not forgiven, in whole or in part. Payments are deferred until either the date on which the SBA remits the amount of forgiveness proceeds to the lender or the date that is 10 months after the last day of the covered period if the borrower does not apply for forgiveness within that 10 month period. PPP fees are deferred and accreted into interest income over the contractual period of 24 months or 60 months , as applicable. Upon SBA forgiveness, unamortized fees are then recognized into interest income. The Bank originated additional loans through the PPP, which expired on May 31, 2021. During 2021, the Bank had generated and received SBA approval on 1,062 PPP loans totaling $121.6 million and generated $4.4 million in related deferred PPP net fees. Included in the commercial and industrial balances at March 31, 2023 are Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans that had an outstanding balance of $22.2 million comprised of $10.9 million remaining from those originated during 2021 as part of round two and $11.3 million remaining from loans originated during 2020 under round one of the program. At December 31, 2022, PPP loans had outstanding balances totaling $22.3 million. Net deferred loan origination fees remaining related to PPP loans was $0.2 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The PPP loans are risk rated ‘Pass’ and do not carry an allowance for credit losses due to a 100% SBA guarantee.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the allowance for loan losses is based upon the calculation methodology as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The tables identify the valuation allowances attributable to specifically identified impairments on individually evaluated loans, including those acquired with deteriorated credit quality, as well as valuation allowances for impairments on loans evaluated collectively. The tables include the underlying balance of loans receivable applicable to each category as of those dates.

Loans are individually analyzed for credit risk by classifying them within the Company’s internal risk rating system. The Company’s risk rating classifications are defined as follows: ● Pass- A loan to borrowers with acceptable credit quality and risk that is not adversely classified as Substandard, Doubtful, Loss nor designated as Special Mention. ● Special Mention- A loan that has potential weaknesses that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified since they do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. ● Substandard- A loan that is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. ● Doubtful – A loan classified as Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make the collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. ● Loss- A loan classified as Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that its continuance as bankable loan is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

The amendments in ASU 2022-02 eliminated the recognition and measure of troubled debt restructurings and enhanced disclosures for loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. There were no loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and hence there were no loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that subsequently defaulted. Information on loan modifications prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023 is presented in accordance with the applicable accounting standards in effect at that time. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company did not modify any loans that were determined to be a troubled debt restructuring. |
