Concessions grant terms to the borrower that would not be offered for new debt with similar risk characteristics. Concessions typically include interest rate reductions or below market interest rates, revising amortization schedules to defer principal and interest payments, and other changes necessary to provide payment relief to the borrower and minimize the risk of loss. There were no unfunded commitments to extend credit related to these loans during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Credit Quality Indicators Loans are categorized based on the degree of risk inherent in the credit and the ability of the borrower to service the debt. A description of the general characteristics of the Bank’s risk rating grades follows: Pass - These loans are of satisfactory quality and do not require a more severe classification. Special Mention - This category includes loans with potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan. Substandard - Loans in this category have well defined weaknesses which jeopardize normal repayment of principal and interest. Doubtful - Loans in this category have well defined weaknesses that make full collection improbable. Loss - Loans classified in this category are considered uncollectible and charged-off to the allowance for loan losses. The following table summarizes loans by risk rating as of December 31, 2021: (in thousands) Pass Special Substandard Doubtful Loss Total Real estate: Commercial real estate $ 666,838 $ 499 $ 2,956 $ — $ — $ 670,293 One-to-four family residential 473,638 321 461 — — 474,420 Construction and development 105,838 — 501 — — 106,339 Commercial and industrial 306,925 1,551 2,897 — — 311,373 SBA PPP, net of deferred income 17,550 — — — — 17,550 Tax-exempt 80,726 — — — — 80,726 Consumer 23,003 21 107 — — 23,131 Total loans HFI $ 1,674,518 $ 2,392 $ 6,922 $ — $ — $ 1,683,832 The following table summarizes loans by risk rating as of December 31, 2020: (in thousands) Pass Special Substandard Doubtful Loss Total Real estate: Commercial real estate $ 551,954 $ 555 $ 4,260 $ — $ — $ 556,769 One-to-four family residential 441,374 486 1,029 — — 442,889 Construction and development 126,542 — 779 — — 127,321 Commercial and industrial 245,043 1,310 4,075 — — 250,428 SBA PPP, net of deferred income 118,447 — — — — 118,447 Tax-exempt 68,666 — — — — 68,666 Consumer 23,813 — 113 — — 23,926 Total loans HFI $ 1,575,839 $ 2,351 $ 10,256 $ — $ — $ 1,588,446 Commitments to Extend Credit Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer if all conditions of the commitment have been met. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s evaluation of the customer’s ability to repay. Unfunded loan commitments totaled approximately $357.9 million and $283.3 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. Commitments under standby letters of credit totaled approximately $12.5 million and $10.5 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. |
