LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES | NOTE 3 - LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The following table summarizes the Company’s loan portfolio by type of loan as of: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Commercial and industrial $ 531,152 $ 279,583 Real estate: Construction and development 269,101 280,498 Commercial real estate 602,664 567,360 Farmland 80,197 57,476 1-4 family residential 385,783 412,166 Multi-family residential 19,499 37,379 Consumer 52,855 53,245 Agricultural 17,004 18,359 Overdrafts 379 329 Total loans (1) 1,958,634 1,706,395 Net of: Deferred loan (fees) costs, net (3,643 ) 601 Allowance for credit losses (33,757 ) (16,202 ) Total net loans (1) $ 1,921,234 $ 1,690,794 (1) Excludes accrued interest receivable on loans of $6.7 million and $6.4 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which is presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s estimate of the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) reflects losses expected over the remaining contractual life of the assets. The contractual term does not consider extensions, renewals or modifications unless the Company has identified an expected troubled debt restructuring. The following tables present the activity in the ACL by class of loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and the activity in the allowance for loan loss by portfolio segment for the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019: For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Commercial and industrial Construction and development Commercial real estate Farmland 1-4 family residential Multi-family residential Consumer Agricultural Overdrafts Total Allowance for credit losses: Beginning balance, prior to adoption of ASC 326 $ 2,056 $ 2,378 $ 6,853 $ 570 $ 3,125 $ 409 $ 602 $ 197 $ 12 $ 16,202 Impact of adopting ASC 326 546 323 2,228 26 1,339 (50 ) 72 73 (9 ) 4,548 Provision for credit losses 1,366 2,228 6,613 694 1,778 (34 ) 407 59 89 13,200 Loans charged-off (43 ) — — — (59 ) — (136 ) (18 ) (128 ) (384 ) Recoveries 93 — 1 — 2 — 30 20 45 191 Ending balance $ 4,018 $ 4,929 $ 15,695 $ 1,290 $ 6,185 $ 325 $ 975 $ 331 $ 9 $ 33,757 For the Year Ended December 31, 2019 Commercial and industrial Construction and development Commercial real estate Farmland 1-4 family residential Multi-family residential Consumer Agricultural Overdrafts Total Allowance for loan losses: Beginning balance $ 1,751 $ 1,920 $ 6,025 $ 643 $ 2,868 $ 631 $ 565 $ 238 $ 10 $ 14,651 Provision for loan losses (117 ) 458 827 (73 ) 268 (222 ) (2 ) (41 ) 152 1,250 Loans charged-off (86 ) — — — (14 ) — (72 ) (89 ) (192 ) (453 ) Recoveries 508 — 1 — 3 — 111 89 42 754 Ending balance $ 2,056 $ 2,378 $ 6,853 $ 570 $ 3,125 $ 409 $ 602 $ 197 $ 12 $ 16,202 For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Commercial and industrial Construction and development Commercial real estate Farmland 1-4 family residential Multi-family residential Consumer Agricultural Overdrafts Total Allowance for loan losses: Beginning balance $ 1,751 $ 1,920 $ 6,025 $ 643 $ 2,868 $ 631 $ 565 $ 238 $ 10 $ 14,651 Provision for loan losses (152 ) 215 863 (49 ) 220 199 (28 ) (126 ) 108 1,250 Loans charged-off (49 ) — — — (14 ) — (32 ) — (137 ) (232 ) Recoveries 507 — 1 — 3 — 95 89 30 725 Ending balance $ 2,057 $ 2,135 $ 6,889 $ 594 $ 3,077 $ 830 $ 600 $ 201 $ 11 $ 16,394 The ACL as of September 30, 2020 The $300,000 provision reversal during the current quarter resulted primarily from lower loan balances in loan segments with higher general allocation factors as of September 30, 2020, compared to prior quarters. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2020, qualitative factor adjustments were made in our Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) model, primarily derived from changes in national GDP, Texas unemployment rates and national industry-related CRE trends, all of which are impacted by the effects of COVID-19 and resulted in the $12.1 million provision expense during second quarter. Qualitative factor adjustments made in the second quarter remained consistent in the third quarter because our CECL model assumes a six-to-nine month lag in estimated losses as a result of economic factors present during the second quarter, as well as continued uncertainty surrounding the virus and timing of economic recovery The Company uses the weighted-average remaining maturity (WARM) method as the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. The WARM method uses a historical average annual charge-off rate containing loss content over a historical lookback period and is used as a foundation for estimating the credit loss reserve for the remaining outstanding balances of loans in a segment at the balance sheet date. The average annual charge-off rate is applied to the contractual term, further adjusted for estimated prepayments, to determine the unadjusted historical charge-off rate. The calculation of the unadjusted historical charge-off rate is then adjusted, using qualitative factors, for current conditions and for reasonable and supportable forecast periods. Qualitative loss factors are based on the Company’s judgement of company, market, industry or business specific data, differences in loan-specific risk characteristics such as underwriting standards, portfolio mix, risk grades, delinquency level, or term. These qualitative factors serve to compensate for additional areas of uncertainty inherent in the portfolio that are not reflected in our historic loss factors. Additionally, we have adjusted for changes in expected environmental and economic conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, and other relevant factors over the next 12 to 24 months. Management adjusted the historical loss experience for these expectations. No reversion adjustments were necessary, as the starting point for the Company’s estimate was a cumulative loss rate covering the expected contractual term of the portfolio. The ACL is measured on a collective segment basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Our loan portfolio is segmented first by regulatory call report code, and second, by internally identified risk grades for our commercial loan segments and by delinquency status for our consumer loan segments. We also have separate segments for our warehouse lines of credit, for our internally originated SBA loans and for our SBA loans acquired from Westbound Bank. Consistent forecasts of the loss drivers are used across the loan segments. For loans that do not share general risk characteristics with segments, we estimate a specific reserve on an individual basis. A reserve is recorded when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the discounted estimated cash flows using the loan's initial effective interest rate or the fair value of collateral for collateral-dependent loans. Assets are graded “pass” when the relationship exhibits acceptable credit risk and indicates repayment ability, tolerable collateral coverage and reasonable performance history. Lending relationships exhibiting potentially significant credit risk and marginal repayment ability and/or asset protection are graded “special mention.” Assets 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 must have a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. Substandard graded loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets graded “doubtful” are substandard graded loans that have added characteristics that make collection or liquidation in full improbable. Loans that are on nonaccrual status are generally classified as substandard. In general, the loans in our portfolio have low historical credit losses. The Company closely monitors economic conditions and loan performance trends to manage and evaluate the exposure to credit risk. Key factors tracked by the Company and utilized in evaluating the credit quality of the loan portfolio include trends in delinquency ratios, the level of nonperforming assets, borrower’s repayment capacity, and collateral coverage.

The following table presents loans individually and collectively evaluated for impairment, and the respective allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2019, as determined in accordance with ASC 310 prior to the adoption of ASC 326. A loan was considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it was probable that the Company would be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with original contractual terms of the loan. Loans with insignificant delays or insignificant short falls in the amount payments expected to be collected were not considered to be impaired. Loans defined as individually impaired included larger balance non-performing loans and TDRs.
