Allowance For Credit Losses | NOTE 6 – Allowance for Credit Losses In accordance with the Contingencies and Receivables Topics of the FASB ASC, we maintain an allowance for credit losses at an amount sufficient to absorb losses inherent in our existing lease and loan portfolios as of the reporting dates based on our estimate of probable net credit losses. The tables which follow provide activity in the allowance for credit losses and asset quality statistics.

(2) Equipment Finance consists of Equipment Finance Agreements, Install Purchase Agreements, and other leases and loans. (3) For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company determined that no leases or loans required individual evaluation, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2017 all leases and loans were collectively evaluated. For the nine -month period ended September 30, 2018 , the Company sold $ 78.1 million of leases and loans from its portfolio for a gain on sale of $ 4.8 million . For the year ended December 31, 2017 , the Company sold $ 62.1 million of leases and loans from its portfolio for a gain on sale of $ 2.8 million . Credit Quality Indicators The Company’s credit review process includes a risk classification of all leases and loans that includes pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss. The classification of a lease or loan may change based on changes in the creditworthiness of the borrower. The description of the risk classifications are as follows: Pass: A lease or loan is classified as pass when payments are current and it is performing under the original contractual terms. Special Mention: A lease or loan is classified as special mention when the borrower exhibits potential credit weakness or a downward trend which, if not checked or corrected, will weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Company’s position. While potentially weak, the borrower is currently marginally acceptable; no loss of principal or interest is envisioned. Substandard: A lease or loan is classified as substandard when the borrower has a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that j eopardize the orderly liquidation of the debt. A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor, normal repayment from this borrower is in jeopardy, and there is a distinct possibility that a partial loss of interest and/or principal will occur if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful: A lease or loan is classified as doubtful when a borrower has all weaknesses inherent in a loan classified as substandard with the added provision that: (1) the weaknesses make collection of debt in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values highly questionable and improbable; (2) serious problems exist to the point where a partial loss of principal is likely; and (3) the possibility of l oss is extremely high, but because of certain important, reasonably specific pending factors which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the assets, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens and additional refinancing plans. Loss: A lease or loan is classified as loss when uncollectible and of such little value that its contin uance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be effected in the future. The Company charges-off the collateral or discounted cash flow deficiency on all loans on non-accrual status. In all cases, leases and loans are placed on non-accrual when 90 days past due or earlier if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. The following tables present the segments of the loan portfolio in which a formal risk weighting system is utilized summarized by the categories of “pass” and “special mention”, and the classified categories of “substandard”, “doubtful”, and “loss” within the Company’s risk rating system at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 . The data within the tables reflect net investment, excluding deferred fees and cost and allowance : September 30, 2018 Commercial Loans (Dollars in thousands) Funding Stream CRA Equipment Finance TFG Total Pass $ 32,930 $ 1,437 $ 860,345 $ 58,484 $ 953,196 Special Mention 63 - 4,160 164 4,387 Substandard 274 - 4,141 573 4,988 Doubtful 257 - 2,315 182 2,754 Loss 107 - 1,066 161 1,334 Total $ 33,631 $ 1,437 $ 872,027 $ 59,564 $ 966,659 December 31, 2017 Commercial Loans (Dollars in thousands) Funding Stream CRA Equipment Finance TFG Total Pass $ 27,405 $ 1,222 $ 801,894 $ 50,342 $ 880,863 Special Mention 56 - 15,141 4,906 20,103 Substandard 47 - 6,428 44 6,519 Doubtful 163 - 2,995 38 3,196 Loss 139 - 422 - 561 Total $ 27,810 $ 1,222 $ 826,880 $ 55,330 $ 911,242 Troubled debt restructurings are restructurings of leases and loans in which, due to the borrower's financial difficulties, a lender grants a concession that it would not otherwise consider for borrowers of similar credit quality. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the Company did not have any Troubled debt restructurings. Loan Delinquencies and Non-A ccrual Leases and Loans Net investments in leases and loans are generally charged-off when they are contractually past due for 120 days or more. Inc ome recognition is discontinued on leases or loans when a default on monthly payment exists for a period of 90 days or more. Income recognition resumes when a lease or loan becomes less than 90 days delinquent. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , there were no finance receivables past due 90 days or more and still accruing. Funding Stream loans are generally placed in non-accrual status when they are 30 days past due and generally charged-off at 60 days past due . The loan is removed from non-accrual status once sufficient payments are made to bring the loan current and reviewed by management. At September 30, 2018 , there were Funding Stream loans past due 30 days or more and still accruing in the amount of $0.1 million. At December 31, 2017 , there were no Funding Str eam loans past due 30 days or more and still accruing. Management further monitors the performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio as determined by the length of time a recorded payment is due.
