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, 2019 to be appropriate, given management's assessment of losses inherent in the portfolio as of the evaluation date, the 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.

As a result of these refinements, we believe that management is better able to allocate inherent losses previously accounted for in the additional qualitative reserve component of our allowance for loan losses to specific product types and credit risk grades, thus eliminating the additional qualitative reserve component of our allowance for loan losses in 2019. Additionally, this improved specificity and consideration of current mortgage market conditions resulted in the allocation of a portion of the company’s allowance and provision for loan losses to our mortgage finance loan portfolio for the first time in 2019. 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.
