For further discussion of the components of the allowance for loan losses as well as details regarding how the estimate of inherent losses is determined, refer to the Allowance for Loan Losses subheading in Note 1 - Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. We believe the allowance at December 31, 2018 to be appropriate, given management's assessment of losses inherent in the portfolio as of the evaluation date, the significant growth in the loan and lease portfolio, current economic conditions in our market areas and other factors. The following table details activity in the allowance for loan losses, as well as the recorded investment in loans held for investment, by portfolio segment and disaggregated on the basis of our impairment methodology. Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.

At December 31, 2018 , the additional qualitative reserve as a percentage of loans held for investment was 0.03% compared to 0.04% at December 31, 2017 . The decline in the additional qualitative reserve at December 31, 2018 as compared to December 31, 2017 was primarily related to the resolution of remaining uncertainty regarding the impact to our loan portfolio from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. The following tables detail our impaired loans held for investment by portfolio segment. In accordance with ASC 310, Receivables , we have also included all restructured and formerly restructured loans in our impaired loan totals.
