The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. In evaluating the adequacy of the Company’s loan loss reserves, management identifies loans believed to be impaired. Impaired loans are those not likely to be repaid as to principal and interest in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, or liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Reserves are maintained for each loan in which the principal balance of the loan exceeds the net present value of cash flows. In addition to the specific allowance for individually reviewed loans, a general allowance for potential loan losses is established based on management’s review of the composition of the loan portfolio with the purpose of identifying any concentrations of risk, and an analysis of historical loan charge-offs and recoveries. The final component of the allowance for loan losses incorporates management’s evaluation of current economic conditions and other risk factors which may impact the inherent losses in the loan portfolio. These evaluations are highly subjective and require that a great degree of judgmental assumptions be made by management. This component of the allowance for loan losses includes additional estimated reserves for internal factors such as changes in lending staff, loan policy and underwriting guidelines, and loan seasoning and quality, and external factors such as national and local economic trends and conditions.

When a loan is placed in nonaccrual status, interest accruals are discontinued and income earned but not collected is reversed. Cash receipts on nonaccrual loans are not recorded as interest income, but are used to reduce principal. The following chart summarizes delinquencies and nonaccruals, by portfolio class, as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

As of September 30, 2015, $157.9 million, or 71.8% of the loan portfolio, had a credit grade of “minimal,” “modest,” “average” or “satisfactory.” For loans to qualify for these grades, they must be performing relatively close to expectations, with no significant departures from the intended source and timing of repayment. Loans with a credit grade of “watch” and “special mention” are not considered classified; however, they are categorized as a watch list credit and are considered potential problem loans. This classification is utilized by us when there is an initial concern about the financial health of a borrower. These loans are designated as such in order to be monitored more closely than other credits in the portfolio. Loans on the watch list are not considered problem loans until they are determined by management to be classified as substandard. As of September 30, 2015, loans with a credit grade of “watch” and “special mention” totaled $25.7 million. Watch list loans are considered potential problem loans and are monitored as they may develop into problem loans in the future. Loans graded “substandard” or greater are considered classified credits. At September 30, 2015, classified loans totaled $36.4 million, with $33.4 million being collateralized by real estate. This includes $29.9 million in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), of which $25.9 million were performing. Classified credits are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis. The Bank identifies impaired loans through its normal internal loan review process. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by calculating either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs, if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measurement of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (including accrued interest, net of deferred loan fees or costs), an impairment is recognized by establishing or adjusting an existing allocation of the allowance, or by recording a partial charge-off of the loan to its fair value . Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Impaired consumer and residential loans are identified for impairment disclosures, however, it is policy to individually evaluate for impairment all loans with a credit grade of “substandard” or greater that have an outstanding balance of $50 thousand or greater, and all loans with a credit grade of “special mention” that have outstanding principal balance of $100 thousand or greater. Impaired loans are valued on a nonrecurring basis at the lower of cost or market value of the underlying collateral, less any selling costs, or based on the net present value of cash flows. For loans valued based on collateral, market values were obtained using independent appraisals, updated every 18 to 24 months, in accordance with our reappraisal policy, or other market data such as recent offers to the borrower. At September 30, 2015, the recorded investment in impaired loans was $34.4 million, compared to $41.4 million at December 31, 2014. The following chart details our impaired loans, which includes TDRs totaling $29.9 million and $33.2 million, by category as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively: September 30, 2015 ( Dollars in thousands Nine months ended Three months ended Unpaid Average Interest Average Interest Recorded Principal Related Recorded Income Recorded Income Investment Balance Allowance Investment Recognized Investment Recognized With no related allowance recorded: Commercial $ 993 $ 1,179 $ — $ 1,293 $ 55 $ 1,116 $ 19 Commercial real estate 16,847 21,365 — 19,786 609 18,644 299 Residential 4,471 4,988 — 5,475 110 4,821 27 Consumer 68 68 — 98 7 70 3 Total: $ 22,379 $ 27,600 $ — $ 26,652 $ 781 $ 24,651 $ 348 With an allowance recorded: Commercial 1,717 1,717 145 1,807 62 1,787 22 Commercial real estate 4,606 4,666 742 4,613 157 4,659 63 Residential 5,632 5,632 560 5,565 171 5,578 57 Consumer 70 70 11 67 2 65 1 Total: $ 12,025 $ 12,085 $ 1,458 $ 12,052 $ 392 $ 12,089 $ 143 Total: Commercial 2,710 2,896 145 3,100 117 2,903 41 Commercial real estate 21,453 26,031 742 24,399 766 23,303 362 Residential 10,103 10,620 560 11,040 281 10,399 84 Consumer 138 138 11 165 9 135 4 Total: $ 34,404 $ 39,685 $ 1,458 $ 38,704 $ 1,173 $ 36,740 $ 491 December 31, 2014 ( Dollars in thousands Unpaid Average Interest Recorded Principal Related Recorded Income Investment Balance Allowance Investment Recognized With no related allowance recorded: Commercial $ 1,852 $ 2,678 $ — $ 2,649 $ 79 Commercial real estate 19,156 24,441 — 22,377 1,083 Residential 5,950 6,528 — 6,249 268 Consumer 32 32 — 34 3 Total: $ 26,990 $ 33,679 $ — $ 31,309 $ 1,433 With an allowance recorded: Commercial 1,792 1,792 151 1,892 81 Commercial real estate 5,990 6,194 1,008 6,143 282 Residential 6,468 6,468 737 6,506 271 Consumer 143 143 11 150 8 Total: $ 14,393 $ 14,597 $ 1,907 $ 14,691 $ 642 Total: Commercial 3,644 4,470 151 4,541 160 Commercial real estate 25,146 30,635 1,008 28,520 1,365 Residential 12,418 12,996 737 12,755 539 Consumer 175 175 11 184 11 Total: $ 41,383 $ 48,276 $ 1,907 $ 46,000 $ 2,075 TDRs are loans which have been restructured from their original contractual terms and include concessions that would not otherwise have been granted outside of the financial difficulty of the borrower. We only restructure loans for borrowers in financial difficulty that have designed a viable business plan to fully pay off all obligations, including outstanding debt, interest and fees, either by generating additional income from the business or through liquidation of assets. Generally, these loans are restructured to provide the borrower additional time to execute upon their plans. With respect to restructured loans, we grant concessions by (1) reduction of the stated interest rate for the remaining original life of the debt, or (2) extension of the maturity date at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. We do not generally grant concessions through forgiveness of principal or accrued interest. Restructured loans where a concession has been granted through extension of the maturity date generally include extension of payments in an interest only period, extension of payments with capitalized interest and extension of payments through a forbearance agreement. These extended payment terms are also combined with a reduction of the stated interest rate in certain cases. Success in restructuring loans has been mixed but it has proven to be a useful tool in certain situations to protect collateral values and allow certain borrowers additional time to execute upon defined business plans. In situations where a TDR is unsuccessful and the borrower is unable to follow through with terms of the restructured agreement, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status and continues to be written down to the underlying collateral value. Our policy with respect to accrual of interest on loans restructured in a TDR follows relevant supervisory guidance. That is, if a borrower has demonstrated performance under the previous loan terms and shows capacity to perform under the restructured loan terms, continued accrual of interest at the restructured interest rate is likely. If a borrower was materially delinquent on payments prior to the restructuring but shows capacity to meet the restructured loan terms, the loan will likely continue as nonaccrual going forward. Lastly, if the borrower does not perform under the restructured terms, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. We will continue to closely monitor these loans and will cease accruing interest on them if management believes that the borrowers may not continue performing based on the restructured note terms. If, after previously being classified as a TDR, a loan is restructured a second time, then that loan is automatically placed on nonaccrual status. Our policy with respect to nonperforming loans requires the borrower to make a minimum of six consecutive payments in accordance with the loan terms before that loan can be placed back on accrual status. Further, the borrower must show capacity to continue performing into the future prior to restoration of accrual status. We believe that all of our modified loans meet the definition of a TDR.

(1) Portions of the allowance for loan losses may be allocated for specific loans or portfolio segments. However, the entire allowance for loan losses is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off. While management utilizes the best judgment and information available to it, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance for loan losses depends on a variety of factors beyond our control, including the performance of our loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates, and the view of the regulatory authorities toward loan classifications. If delinquencies and defaults increase, we may be required to increase our provision for loan losses, which would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance that charge-offs of loans in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses as estimated at any point in time or that provisions for loan losses will not be significant to a particular accounting period. The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The fair value of standby letters of credit is insignificant. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some 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 deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral held for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. The following table summarizes the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk: September 30, December 31, (Dollars in thousands) 2015 2014 Commitments to extend credit $ 24,047 $ 27,017 Standby letters of credit 242 247 |
