Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note B—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  1. Basis of Presentation The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP) and predominant practices within the banking industry. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its subsidiaries. All inter-company balances have been eliminated. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The principal estimates that are particularly susceptible to a significant change in the near term relate to the allowance for loan and lease losses, investment other than temporary impairment (OTTI) , investments measured at fair value and deferred income taxes. The Company periodically reviews its investment portfolio to determine whether unrealized losses on securities are temporary, based on evaluations of the creditworthiness of the issuers or guarantors, and underlying collateral, as applicable. In addition, it considers the continuing performance of the securities. Credit losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. If management believes market value losses are temporary and it believes the Company has the ability and intention to hold those securities to maturity, for available for sale securities the reduction in value is recognized in other comprehensive income, through equity and for held to maturity securities the securities are held at amortized cost. Deferred tax assets are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at their net realizable value. The Company performs an assessment each reporting period to evaluate the amount of the deferred tax asset it is more likely than not to realize. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the amount of taxable income expected in future periods, as tax benefits require taxable income to be realized. If a valuation allowance is required, the deferred tax asset on the consolidated balance sheet is reduced via a corresponding income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations. 2. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand and amounts due from banks with an original maturity of three months or less and federal funds sold. The Company at times maintains balances in excess of insured limits at various financial institutions including the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB), the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and other private institutions. The Company does not believe these instruments carry a significant risk of loss, but cannot provide assurances that no losses could occur if these institutions were to become insolvent. 3. Investment Securities Investments in debt securities which the Company has both the ability and intent to hold to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts computed by the effective interest method. Investments in debt and equity securities which management believes may be sold prior to maturity due to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, liquidity requirements, or other factors, are classified as available-for-sale. Net unrealized gains for such securities, net of tax effect, are reported as other comprehensive income and excluded from the determination of net income. The unrealized losses for both the held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities are evaluated to determine first if the impairment is other than temporary then to determine the amount of other - than - temporary impairment that is attributable to credit loss versus non-credit loss. If a credit loss is determined, an other than temporary impairment charge is recorded within the consolidated statement of operations. The Company does not engage in securities trading. Gains or losses on disposition of investment securities are based on the net proceeds and the adjusted carrying amount of the securities sold using the specific identification method. The Company evaluates whether OTTI exists by considering primarily the following factors: (a) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost of the security, (b) changes in the financial condition, credit rating and near-term prospects of the issuer, (c) whether the issuer is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments, (d) changes in the financial condition of the security’s underlying collateral and (e) the payment structure of the security. The Company’s best estimate of expected future cash flows used to determine the amount of other than temporary impairment attributable to credit loss is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third-party sources along with certain internal assumptions and judgments regarding the future performance of the security. The Company’s best estimate of future cash flows involves assumptions including, but not limited to, various performance indicators, such as historical and projected default and recovery rates, credit ratings, current delinquency rates, loan-to - value ratios and the possibility of obligor refinancing. These assumptions require the use of significant management judgment and include the probability of issuer default and estimates regarding timing and amount of expected recoveries which may include estimating the underlying collateral value. In addition, projections of expected future cash flows from a debt security may change based upon new information regarding the performance of the issuer and/or underlying collateral such as changes in the projections of the underlying property value estimates. The Company did no t recognize any OTTI charges in 2016, 2015 and 2014. 4. Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the amount of unpaid principal and are net of unearned discounts, unearned loan fees and an allowance for loan and lease losses. The allowance for loan and lease losses is established through a provision for loan and lease losses charged to expense. Loan principal considered to be uncollectible by management is charged against the allowance for loan and lease losses. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible based upon an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. The evaluation takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and size of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, specific problem loans and current economic conditions which may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay. The evaluation also details historical losses by loan category, the resulting loss rates for which are projected at current loan total amounts. Interest income is accrued as earned on a simple interest basis. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. The Company recognizes income on impaired loans when they are placed into non-accrual status on a cash basis when the loans are both current and the collateral on the loan is sufficient to cover the outstanding obligation to the Company. If these factors do not exist, the Company will not recognize income on such loans. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all accumulated accrued interest receivable applicable to periods prior to the current year is charged off to the allowance for loan and lease losses. Interest that had accrued in the current year is reversed out of current period income. Loans reported as having missed four or more consecutive monthly payments and still accruing interest must have both principal and accruing interest adequately secured and must be in the process of collection. Such loans are reported as 90 days delinquent and still accruing. For all loan types, the Company uses the method of reporting delinquencies which considers a loan past due or delinquent if a monthly payment has not been received by the close of business on the loan’s next due date. In the Company’s reporting, two missed payments are reflected as 30 to 59 day delinquencies and three missed payments are reflected as 60 to 89 day delinquencies.  The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of the consolidated balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to loans and leases. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. All, or part, of the principal balance of loans receivable are charged off to the allowance as soon as it is determined that the repayment of all, or part, of the principal balance is highly unlikely. Because all identified losses are immediately charged off, no portion of the allowance for loan losses is restricted to any individual loan or groups of loans, and the entire allowance is available to absorb any and all loan losses.  The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses includes, among other factors, an analysis of historical loss rates and environmental factors by category, applied to current loan totals. However, actual losses may be higher or lower than historical trends, which vary. Actual losses on specified problem loans, which also are provided for in the evaluation, may vary from those estimated loss percentages, which are established based upon a limited number of potential loss classifications.  Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance, which is based on the Company's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, the volume and mix of the existing loan and lease portfolios, including the volume and severity of non-performing and adversely classified credits, an analysis of net charge-offs experienced on previously classified credits, the trend in loan and lease growth, including any rapid increase in loan and lease volume within a relatively short time period, general and local economic conditions affecting the collectability of the Company’s loans and leases, previous loan and lease experience by type, including net charge-offs, as a percentage of average loans and leases over the past several years and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.  The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans and leases that are classified as impaired. For such loans and leases, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, or collateral value, or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. Regardless of the measurement method, a creditor must measure impairment based on the fair value of the collateral when the creditor determines that foreclosure is probable.  The allowance calculation methodology includes further segregation of loan classes into regulatory risk rating categories of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects. Loans classified substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They include loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans rated as special mention and substandard are reserved for based on the average charge-off history for loans and leases previously classified in those categories. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible and are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Loans not classified are included in the general component of the reserve calculation.  The general component covers pools of loans by loan type. These pools of loans are evaluated for loss exposure based upon historical loss rates for each of these categories of loans, adjusted for relevant qualitative factors. Separate qualitative adjustments are made for higher-risk criticized loans that are not impaired. These qualitative risk factors include:  · Changes in lending policies or procedures; · Changes in economic conditions; · Portfolio growth; · Changes in the nature or volume of the portfolio; · Changes in management’s experience; · Past due volume; · Non-accrual volume; · Adversely classified loans; · Quality of the loan review system; · Changes in the value of underlying collateral; · Concentrations of credit; and · External factors. Applicable factors are considered based on management's best judgment using relevant information available at the time of the evaluation. An unallocated component is also maintained to cover additional uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the loan will not be collected 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. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for all impaired loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. An allowance for loan losses is established for an impaired loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair values of substantially all of the Company's impaired loans are measured based on the estimated fair value of the loan's collateral. For SBA commercial loans secured by real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through third-party appraisals or evaluations. When a real estate secured loan becomes impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the original appraisal and the condition of the property. Appraised values are discounted to arrive at the estimated selling price of the collateral, which is considered to be the estimated fair value. The discounts also include estimated costs to sell the property. For SBA commercial and industrial loans secured by non-real estate collateral, such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, estimated fair values are determined based on the borrower's financial statements, inventory reports, accounts receivable agings or equipment appraisals or invoices. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management. Based on management's analysis of the loan portfolio, management believes the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate. Loans originated from continuing operations and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at estimated fair value. Net unrealized gains or losses, if any, are recognized through marks to fair value through the income statement . The Company originates specific commercial mortgage loans for sale in secondary markets. These loans are accounted for under the fair value option and amounted to $663.1 million at December 31, 2016 and $489.9 million at December 31, 2015. These loans were classified as held for sale. Loans from discontinued operations intended for sale primarily to other financial institutions are carried at the lower of cost or market on the balance sheet, determined by loan type or, for larger loans, on an individual loan basis. See Note W to the financial statements. 5. Premises and Equipment Premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed on the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the terms of the related leases. 6. Internal Use Software The Company capitalizes costs associated with internally developed and/or purchased software systems for new products and enhancements to existing products that have reached the application stage and meet recoverability tests. Capitalized costs include external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining internal use software, payroll and payroll related expenses for employees who are directly associated with and devote time to the internal use software project and interest costs incurred, if material, while developing internal use software. Capitalization of such costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete and ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. The carrying value of the Company’s software is periodically reviewed and a loss is recognized if the value of the estimated undiscounted cash flow benefit related to the asset falls below the unamortized cost. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related software, which is generally seven years. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had net capitalized software costs of approximately $9.9 million and $5.2 million, respectively. The Company recorded amortization expense of approximately $2.1 million , $1.9 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 7. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between their carrying values on the consolidated financial statements and their tax basis as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense (benefit) is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company recognizes the benefit of a tax position in the consolidated financial statements only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. For these analyses, the Company may engage attorneys to provide opinions related to the positions. The Company applies this policy to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remain open, but this application does not materially impact the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or statement of operations. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in income tax (benefit) expense in the consolidated statement of operations. 8. Share-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock options in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Stock Based Compensation. The expense of the option is generally measured at fair value at the grant date with compensation expense recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. For grants subject to a service condition, the Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option on the date of grant. The Black-Scholes model takes into consideration the exercise price and expected life of the options, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, the expected dividends on the stock and the current risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the option. The Company’s estimate of the fair value of a stock option is based on expectations derived from historical experience and may not necessarily equate to its market value when fully vested. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company estimates the number of options for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered. 9. Other Real Estate Owned Other real estate owned is recorded at estimated fair market value less cost of disposal; which establishes a new cost basis or carrying value. When property is acquired, the excess, if any, of the loan balance over fair market value is charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses. Periodically thereafter, the asset is reviewed for subsequent declines in the estimated fair market value against the carrying value. Subsequent declines, if any, and holding costs, as well as gains and losses on subsequent sale, are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Th e Company had $104,000 and $0 in other real estate owned at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 10. Advertising Costs  The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $349,000 , $387,000 and $621,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 11. Earnings Per Share The Company calculates earnings per share under ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share exclude dilution and are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share take into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. The following tables show the Company’s earnings per share for the periods presented:    Year ended December 31, 2016  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic loss per share from continuing operations  Net loss available to common shareholders $ (56,817) 44,567,357 $ (1.28)  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - - -  Diluted loss per share  Net loss available to common shareholders $ (56,817) 44,567,357 $ (1.28)     Year ended December 31, 2016  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic loss per share from discontinued operations  Net loss available to common shareholders $ (39,675) 44,567,357 $ (0.89)  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - - -  Diluted loss per share  Net loss available to common shareholders $ (39,675) 44,567,357 $ (0.89)     Year ended December 31, 2016  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic loss per share  Net loss available to common shareholders $ (96,492) $ 44,567,357 $ (2.17)  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - - -  Diluted loss per share  Net loss available to common shareholders $ (96,492) 44,567,357 $ (2.17)  Stock options for 2,021,625 shares, exercisable at prices between $6.75 and $25.43 per share were outstanding at December 31, 2016, but were not included in the dilutive shares because the Company had a net loss available to common shareholders.

Restrictions on Cash and Due from Banks The Bank is required to maintain reserves against customer demand deposits by keeping cash on hand or balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The amount of those required reserves at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $283.1 million and $266.8 million, respectively. 14. Other Identifiable Intangible Assets On November 29, 2012, the Company acquired certain software rights for approximately $1.8 million for use in managing prepaid cards in connection with an acquisition. The software is being amortized over eight years. The Company accounts for its prepaid card customer list in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. The acquisition of the Stored Value Solutions division of Marshall Bank First in 2007 resulted in a customer list intangible of $12.0 million which is being amortized over a 12 year period. Amortization expense is $1.0 million per year ( $4.0 million over the next four years). In May 2016, the Company purchased approximately $60 million of lease receivables which resulted in a customer list intangible of $3.4 million which is being amortized over a 10 year period. Amortization expense is $340,000 per year. These amounts are preliminary based upon continuing analysis. The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization related to the Company’s intangible items at December 31, 2016 and 2015 are presented below.

Reclassifications  Certain reclassifications for investment categories have been made to the 2015 and 2014 restated consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2016 presentation.   16. Prepaid Card Fees  The Company recognizes prepaid card fees and affinity fees in the periods in which they are earned by performance of the related services. The majority of fees the Company earns result from contractual transaction fees paid by third party sponsors to the Company and monthly service fees. Additionally, the Company earns interchange fees paid through settlement associations such as Visa, which are also determined on a per transaction basis. The Company records this revenue net of costs such as association fees and interchange transaction charges.  17. Common Stock Repurchase Program  In 2011, the Company adopted a common stock repurchase program in which share repurchases reduce the amount of shares outstanding. Repurchased shares may be reissued for various corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had repurchased 100,000 shares of the total 750,000 maximum number of shares authorized by the Board of Directors. The 100,000 shares were repu

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, investment securities with a fair value of approximately $607.2 million and $453.4 million, respectively, were pledged to secure a line of credit and a letter of credit with the FHLB. Gross gains on sales of securities were $4.8 million, $15.0 million and $657,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Gross losses on sales of securities were $1.6 million, $543,000 and $207,000 for the years ended December 31, 201 6 , 201 5 and 201 4 , respectively.  Available-for-sale securities fair values are based on a fair market value supplied by a third-party market data provider . H eld-to-maturity securities fair values are based on the present value of cash flows, which discounts expected cash flows from principal and interest using yield to maturity at the measurement date , when market information is not available . The Company periodically reviews its investment portfolio to determine whether unrealized losses are other than temporary, based on evaluations of the creditworthiness of the issuers/guarantors as well as the underlying collateral if applicable, in addition to the continuing performance of the securities.

The Company has evaluated the securities in the above tables as of December 31, 201 6 and has concluded that none of these securities has impairment that is other-than-temporary. The Company evaluates whether an other than temporary impairment exists by considering primarily the following factors: (a) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost of the security, (b) changes in the financial condition, credit rating and near-term prospects of the issuer, (c) whether the issuer is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments, (d) changes in the financial condition of the security’s underlying collateral and (e) the payment structure of the security. If other than temporary impairment is determined, the Company estimates expected future cash flows to determine the credit loss amount with a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third-party sources along with internal assumptions and judgments regarding the future performance of the security. Based upon this evaluation, the Company concluded that most of the securities that are in an unrealized loss position are in a loss position because of changes in interest rates after the securities were purchased. The securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer include other securities whose market values are sensitive to interest rates. The Company’s unrealized loss for the debt securities, which includes two single issuer trust preferred securities, is primarily related to general market conditions and the resultant lack of liquidity in the market. The severity of the temporary impairments in relation to the carrying amounts of the individual investments is consistent with market developments. The Company’s analysis for each investment is performed at the security level. As a result of its review, the Company concluded that other-than-temporary impairment did not exist due to the Company’s ability and intention to hold these securities to recover their amortized cost basis.

Loans [Abstract]
Loans	 Note E — Loans  The Company originates loans for sale to other financial institutions which issue commercial mortgage backed securities or to other commercial loan purchasers and to secondary government guaranteed loan markets . The Company has elected the fair value option for the balance of these loans classified as commercial loans held for sale to better reflect the economics of the transactions. At December 31, 201 6 and 201 5, the fair value of these loans was $ 663.1 million and $ 489.9 m illion , and the unpaid principal balance was $660.3 m illion and $484.0 m illion, respectively. Included in gain on sale of loans in the Statement of Operations were changes in fair value resulting in losses of $3.1 million in 2016 a nd gains of $1.7 m illion in 2015 . There were no amounts of changes in fair value related to instrument-specific credit risk. Interest earned on loans held for sale during the period held are recorded in Interest Income – Loans, including fees on the Statement of Operations.  In the second quarter of 2016, the Company purchased approximately $60 million of fleet vehicle leases which resulted in a customer intangible of approximately $3.4 million. The balance of the $8.0 million purchase price was allocated to premium which is being amortized over the lives of the purchased leases.  The Company analyzes credit risk prior to making loans, on an individual loan basis. The Company considers relevant aspects of the borrowers’ financial position and cash flow, past borrower performance, management’s knowledge of market conditions, collateral and the ratio of the loan amount to estimated collateral value in making its credit determinations.

Subsequent reviews will be performed based on a sampling each quarter. Each floating rate loan will be reviewed if any available extension options are exercised. Within the quarter following December 31, 2016, the 100% threshold was met for the portfolio outstanding as of December 31, 2016.  CMBS (Fixed Rate) - CMBS fixed rate loans will generally not be reviewed as they are sold on the secondary market in a relatively short period of time. 100% of fixed rate Loans that are unable to be readily sold on the secondary market and remain on the bank's books after nine months will be reviewed at least annually. Within the quarter following December 31, 2016, the 100% threshold was met for the portfolio outstanding as of December 31, 2016.

Variable Interest Entity (VIE) [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entity (VIE)	Note H —Variable Interest Entity (VIE)  VIEs are entities that, by design, either (1) lack sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (2) have equity investors that do not have the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses, or do not have the right to receive the residual returns of the entity.  The most common type of VIE is a special purpose entity (SPE). SPEs are commonly used in securitization transactions in order to isolate certain assets and distribute the cash flows from those assets to investors. The basic SPE structure involves a company selling assets to the SPE with the SPE fund ing the purchase of those assets by issuing securities to investors. The agreements that govern the transaction specify how the cash earned on the assets must be allocated to the SPE’s investors and other parties that have rights to those cash flows. SPEs are generally structured to insulate investors from claims on the SPE’s assets by creditors of other entities, including the creditors of the seller of the assets. The primary beneficiary of a VIE (i.e., the party that has a controlling financial interest) is required to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is the party that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (2) through its interests in the VIE, the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  The Company holds variable interests in Walnut Street 2014-1 LLC (WS 2014), accounted for as a debt instrument for which the Company elected the fair value option. The debt acquired was a 49% equity interest in WS 2014 as well as 100% of the A-Notes and 49% of the B-Notes that WS 2014 issued in a securitization transaction. The variable interests relate to the economic interests held by the Company in WS 2014 and the asset management contract between the Company and WS 2014. The Company is not the primary beneficiary, as it does not have the controlling financial interest in WS 2014, and therefore does not consolidate WS 2014. At December 31, 2016, the Company’s investment in the WS 2014 was $126.9 m illion and was classified as an investment in unconsolidated entity in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s remaining exposure to loss is equal to the balance of the Company’s interest, or $1 26.9 million.  The following table presents the total unpaid principal amount of assets held in WS 2014 at December 31, 201 6 and 2015 (in thousands) .

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note L —Income Taxes  The Company operates predominantly in the United States and is subject to corporate net income taxes for federal and state purposes. The Company also has minimal operations in foreign jurisdictions. In prior years these taxes were not considered material to the overall financial statements.  The components of income tax expense (benefit) included in the statements of continuing operations are as follows:     For the years ended  December 31,  2016 2015 2014  (in thousands)  Current tax provision (benefit)  Federal $ 702 $ 286 $ (3,663)  Foreign 329 353 -  State 686 727 2,730  1,717 1,366 (933)  Deferred tax provision (benefit)  Federal (13,406) 132 (13,705)  State (975) (48) 115  (14,381) 84 (13,590)  $ (12,664) $ 1,450 $ (14,523)  The differences between applicable income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations and the amounts computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% for 2016, 201 5 and 201 4, respectively, are as follows:     For the years ended  December 31,  2016 2015 2014  (in thousands)   Computed tax expense at statutory rate $ (23,509) $ 2,713 $ 2,479  State taxes (191) 448 1,877  Tax-exempt interest income (1,771) (4,165) (4,304)  Foreign income tax rate difference (147) (163) (591)  Meals and entertainment 128 196 -  Other nondeductible items - 1,020 -  Foreign dividend income 719 - -  Valuation allowance - domestic 8,780 884 (14,485)  Valuation allowance - foreign 3,327 395 354  Other - 122 147  $ (12,664) $ 1,450 $ (14,523)  Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary difference between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Cumulative temporary differences recognized in the financial statement of position are as follows:     For the years ended  December 31,  2016 2015  (in thousands)  Deferred tax assets:  Allowance for loan and lease losses $ 2,153 $ 1,496  Non-accrual interest 2,656 1,994  Deferred compensation 1,250 1,309  State taxes 1,638 1,029  Nonqualified stock options 3,446 3,195  Stock appreciation rights - 100  Tax deductible goodwill 7,071 8,063  Other than temporary impairment - 147  Partnership interest, Walnut St basis difference 1,654 1,654  Fair value adjustment to investments 13,447 362  Loan charges 17,297 14,372  Unrealized loss on AFS securities 2,665 1,028  AMT tax credit 2,183 1,535  Federal net operating loss 28,525 6,124  Foreign net operating loss 891 1,032  Other 1,914 1,822  Total gross deferred tax assets 86,790 45,262  Federal and state valuation allowance (24,990) (5,304)  Foreign valuation allowance (891) (1,032)   Deferred tax liabilities:  Foreign tax liabilities 3,327 -  Discount on Class A notes 1,479 2,126  Depreciation 437 593  Total deferred tax liabilities 5,243 2,719  Net deferred tax asset $ 55,666 $ 36,207  The Company has a federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $84 million that will begin to expire in 203 5. The Company has approximately $117 million of state net operating losses from several states that will expire at varying times over the next 20 years. Additionally, the Company has alternative minimum tax credits of $2.2 million to offset taxable income in the future that may be carried forward indefinitely .  Management assesses all available positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to recognize the existing deferred tax assets. As part of the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 and for the interim periods included within such years and for the quarters ended March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, additional deferred tax assets were generated and available for the year ended December 31, 2014. Management evaluated those newly-generated assets and increased the valuation allowance accordingly. The majority of the increase in assets and corresponding increase in the valuation allowance is recognized as a component of discontinued operations. The federal and state valuation allowance at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, was $25.0 million and $5.3 million and has been allocated accordingly to continuing and discontinued operations. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased or if the negative evidence is no longer present or diminishes due to growth of positive evidence.  In prior years, the Company did not provide for deferred taxes on the excess of the financial reporting basis over the tax basis in its investments in foreign subsidiaries. A definitive sale agreement for those subsidiaries was signed in first quarter 2017 which is expected to close in second quarter 2017. If the sale does not close, a wind down of operations is likely. Therefore, a deferred tax liability was recorded as a result of the expected repatriation of cash from a profitable foreign subsidiary. From its European operations, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $8.4 million which may be carried forward indefinitely provided there is no change in ownership or nature of trade of the Company within a defined period. These losses have generated deferred tax assets in the amount of $891,000 which have a full valuation allowance at December 31, 2016. Because of the likelihood of a sale or wind down, it is unlikely that these deferred tax assets will be utilized.  A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:    For the years ended  December 31,  2016 2015 2014  (in thousands)  Beginning balance at January 1 $ 340 $ 313 $ 352  Increases (decreases) in tax provisions for prior years (1) 27 (39)  Gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31 $ 339 $ 340 $ 313  Management does not believe these amounts will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of December 31, 2016. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, will impact the effective tax rate. The Company files federal and state returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. An examination of the Company’s federal tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service is currently in process. The 201 2 through 201 6 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal and most state tax authorities. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense for all periods presented. To date, no amounts of interest or penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits have been recorded.

The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury strip rate in effect at the time of the grant. The life of the option is based on historical factors which include the contractual term, vesting period, exercise behavior and employee terminations. In accordance with the ASC 718, Stock Based Compensation, stock based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 201 6 is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest and has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. The Company estimates forfeitures using historical data based upon the groups identified by management.

Securities Litigation, Case No. 14-cv-0952 (SLR). On October 26, 2015, Lead Plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint against Bancorp, Betsy Z. Cohen, Paul Frenkiel, Frank M. Mastrangelo and Jeremy Kuiper, which alleges that during a class period beginning January 26, 2011 through June 26, 2015, the defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that (i) Bancorp had wrongfully extended and modified problem loans and under-reserved for loan losses due to adverse loans, (ii) Bancorp’s operations and credit practices were in violation of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), and (iii) as a result, Bancorp’s financial statements, press releases and public statements were materially false and misleading during the relevant period. The amended consolidated complaint further alleged that, as a result, the price of Bancorp’s common stock was artificially inflated and fell once the defendants’ misstatements and omissions were revealed, causing damage to the plaintiffs and the other members of the class. The complaint asked for an unspecified amount of damages, prejudgment and post-judgment interest and attorneys’ fees. On July 27, 2016, we and all other individually-named defendants entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (Settlement Agreement) with respect to the consolidated class action. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, we agreed to pay $17.5 million to the plaintiffs as full and complete settlement of the litigation. All amounts paid by us were fully funded by the Company’s insurance carriers. All terms of the Settlement Agreement were approved by the Court on December 15, 2016.  The Company received a subpoena from the SEC, dated March 22, 2016, relating to an investigation by the SEC of the Company's restatement of its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2013 and the interim periods ended March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, which restatement was filed with the SEC on September 28, 2015, and the facts and circumstances underlying the restatement. The Company is cooperating fully with the SEC's investigation. The costs to respond to the subpoena and cooperate with the SEC's investigation have been material and we expect such costs to continue to be material at least through the completion of the SEC’s investigation.  On June 30, 2016, the Company received written notice from the Internal Revenue Service that it will be conducting an audit of the Company's tax returns for the tax years 2012, 2013 and 2014. The audit is in process.  The Company received a letter, dated August 1, 2016, demanding inspection of its books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law from legal counsel representing a shareholder (the "Demand Letter"). The Company, through outside legal counsel, responded to the Demand Letter by permitting the shareholder to inspect certain of the Company’s books and records and by objecting to other requests. On January 30, 2017, the shareholder filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware seeking an order from the court, pursuant to Section 220 of the DGCL, compelling the Company to permit the shareholder to inspect additional books and records of the Company. The Company believes that its original response to the Demand Letter was appropriate in all respects and intends to defend against the complaint. Both the Demand Letter and the complaint threaten the commencement of a shareholder’s derivative suit against certain officers and directors of the Company seeking damages and other remedies on behalf of the Company. We have been advised by our counsel in the matter that reasonably possible losses cannot be estimated.  In addition, the Company is a party to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operations .

Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk And Concentrations Of Credit Risk [Abstract]
Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk And Concentrations Of Credit Risk	Note P —Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk  The Company is 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. Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when they become payable. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contractual, or notional, amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.  The approximate contract amounts and maturity term of the Company’s credit commitments are as follows:      December 31,  2016 2015  (in thousands)  Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk  Commitments to extend credit $ 1,086,304 $ 831,457  Standby letters of credit 3,936 18,536  $ 1,090,240 $ 849,993 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 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 deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation. 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. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company holds residential or commercial real estate, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. Based upon periodic analysis of the Company’s standby letters of credit, management has determined that a reserve is not necessary at December 31, 201 6 . The Company reduces any potential liability on its standby letters of credit based upon its estimate of the proceeds obtainable upon the liquidation of the collateral held. Fair values of unrecognized financial instruments, including commitments to extend credit and the fair value of letters of credit, are considered immaterial. The $3.9 million of standby letters of credit expire in 201 7 . The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance 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.

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments [Abstract]
Fair Value Of Financial Instruments	Note Q —Fair Value of Financial Instruments ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of an entity’s assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments. For the Company, as for most financial institutions, the majority of its assets and liabilities are considered to be financial instruments. However, many of such instruments lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Also, it is the Company’s general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity whether or not categorized as “available-for-sale” and not to engage in trading or sales activities, except for certain loans. For fair value disclosure purposes, the Company utilized the fair value measurement criteria of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to assets and liabilities. It clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures concerning fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Level 1 valuation is based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities to which the Company has access at the measurement date. Level 2 valuation is based on other observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. This includes quoted prices for similar assets in active or inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, default rates, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated through, observable market data by market-corroborated reports. Level 3 valuation is based on “unobservable inputs” that are the best information available in the circumstances. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In 2016, certain securities were reclassified to level 2 from level 1 based upon an assessment of current market information. In 2015, certain securities were reclassified to level 2 from level 3 based upon current market information. Estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using the best available data and an estimation methodology it believes to be suitable for each category of financial instruments. Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values may materially affect the estimated amounts. Also, there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide range of permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of active markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in estimating financial instrument fair values.  Cash and cash equivalents, which are comprised of cash and due from banks, the Company’s balance at the Federal Reserve Bank and securities purchased under agreements to resell, had recorded values of $991.1 million and $1.16 billion at December 31, 201 6 and 201 5 , respectively, which approximated fair values.  Investment securities have e stimated fair values based on quoted market prices, if available, or by an estimation methodology based on management’s inputs. The fair values of the Company’s investment securities held-to-maturity are based on using “unobservable inputs , ” that are the best information available in the circumstances when market information is not available . Level 3 investment securities fair values are based on the present value of cash flows, which discounts expected cash flows from principal and interest using yield to maturity at the measurement date.  Commercial loans held for sale have estimated fair values based upon market indications of the sales price of such loans from recent sales transactions.  Loans, net of deferred loan fees and costs, ha ve an estimated fair value using the present value of discounted cash flow where market prices were not available. The discount rate used in these calculations is the estimated current market rate adjusted for credit risk. The carrying value of accrued interest approximates fair value.  FHLB and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank stock are held as required by those respective institutions and are carried at cost . Federal law requires a member institution of the FHLB to hold stock according to predetermined formulas. Atlantic Central Bankers Bank requires its correspondent banking institutions to hold stock as a condition of membership.  Investment in unconsolidated entity. On December 30, 2014, the Bank entered into an agreement for, and closed on, the sale of a portion of its discontinued commercial loan portfolio. The purchaser of the loan portfolio was a newly formed entity, WS 2014. For information regarding this transaction see Note H. The fair value of the notes issued to the Bank by WS 2014 was established by the sales price and subsequently subjected to cash flow analysis. At December 31, 2016, the cash flows were modeled using discount rates of 4.75% on the senior note and 11% on the subordinate note, based on market indications. A constant default rate on cash flowing loans of 1% , which was net of recoveries, was utilized. The change in value of investment in unconsolidated entity in the income statement includes interest paid and changes in estimated fair value. Assets held for sale a s of December 31, 201 6 are held at the lower of cost basis or market value. For loans, market value was determined using the income approach which converts expected cash flows from the loan portfolio by unit of measurement to a present value estimate. Unit of measurement was determined by loan type and for significant loans on an individual loan basis. The fair values of the Company’s loans classified as assets held for sale are based on “unobservable inputs” that are the best information available in the circumstances. For commercial loans, a market adjusted rate to discount expected cash flows from outstanding principal and interest to expected maturity at the measurement date , was utilized . For other real estate owned, market value was based upon appraisals of the underlying collateral by third party appraisers, reduced by 7 - 10% for estimated selling costs.  Demand deposits (comprising interest and non - interest bearing checking accounts, savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (generally, their carrying amounts). The fair values of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and short term borrowings are equal to their carrying amounts as they are overnight borrowings.  Time deposit s and subordinated debentures have a fair value estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to discount expected cash flows. There were no time deposits outstanding at December 31, 2016, Based upon time deposit maturities at December 31, 201 5 , the carrying values approximate their fair values. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.  I nterest rate swaps have a fair value which is estimated using models that use readily observable market inputs and a market standard methodology applied to the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and interest rate indices. The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated based on the amount of unamortized deferred loan commitment fees. The fair value of letters of credit is based on the amount of unearned fees plus the estimated cost to terminate the letters of credit. Fair values of unrecognized financial instruments, including commitments to extend credit, and the fair value of letters of credit are considered immaterial.

Intangible assets are valued based upon internal analyses. Impaired loans that are measured based on the value of underlying collateral have been presented at their fair value, less costs to sell, of $4.8 million through the establishment of specific reserves and other writedowns of $1.2 million or by recording charge-offs when the carrying value exceeds the fair value. Included in the impaired balance at December 31, 201 6 , were troubled debt restructured loans with a balance of $ 1.9 million which had specific reserves of $779,000 . Valuation techniques consistent with the market and/or cost approach were used to measure fair value and primarily included observable inputs for the individual impaired loans being evaluated such as recent sales of similar assets or observable market data for operational or carrying costs. In cases where such inputs were unobservable, the loan balance is reflected within the Level 3 hierarchy. The fair value of other real estate owned is based on an appraisal of the property using the market approach for valuation.

Regulatory Matters [Abstract]
Regulatory Matters	Note S —Regulatory Matters It is the policy of the Federal Reserve that financial holding companies should pay cash dividends on common stock only from income available over the past year and only if prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organization’s expected future needs and financial condition. The policy provides that financial holding companies should not maintain a level of cash dividends that undermines the financial holding company’s ability to serve as a source of strength to its banking subsidiaries. Various federal and state statutory provisions limit the amount of dividends that subsidiary banks can pay to their holding companies without regulatory approval. Under Delaware banking law, the Bank’s directors may declare dividends on common or preferred stock of so much of its net profits as they judge expedient, but the Bank must, before the declaration of a dividend on common stock from net profits, carry 50% of its net profits from the preceding period for which the dividend is paid to its surplus fund until its surplus fund amounts to 50% of its capital stock and thereafter must carry 25% of its net profits for the preceding period for which the dividend is paid to its surplus fund until its surplus fund amounts to 100% of its capital stock. In addition to these explicit limitations, federal and state regulatory agencies are authorized to prohibit a banking subsidiary or financial holding company from engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice. Depending upon the circumstances, the agencies could take the position that paying a dividend would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. The Bank has entered into consent orders with the FDIC which prohibits the Bank from paying dividends without prior FDIC approval. In addition, the Company received a Supervisory Letter from the Federal Reserve pursuant to which the Company may not pay dividends without prior Federal Reserve approval. The Federal Reserve approved the payment of the distributions on the Company’s trust preferred securities due December 15, 201 6 . Future payments are subject to future approval by the Federal Reserve. (See Note I ) The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification of the Company and the Bank are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Effective January 1, 2015 , capital rules were modified as part of a multi year phase in period. The new rules emphasize common equity capital of which the vast majority of the Company and the Bank’s capital is comprised.  The Bank has entered into several consent orders with the FDIC relating to several aspects of its operations. The consent orders required the Bank to pay a $3,000,000 civil money penalty, which was recorded in 2015, and to substantially revise and enhance its compliance programs with respect to the Bank Secrecy Act, or BSA, Anti-Money Laundering Act, or AML, and other areas. As a result of these orders, the Bank incurred significant remediation expenses for third party consultants in 2016, 2015 and 2014. The vast majority of the expense was to perform a “lookback” to analyze historical transactions which was concluded in the third quarter of 2016. Additional permanent expenses have and will result due to a significant increase in the number of employees performing BSA/AML related functions. T he consent orders restrict the Bank from signing and boarding new independent sales organizations, establishing new non-benefit reloadable prepaid card programs and originating Automated Clearing House transactions for new merchant-related payments. The removal of these limitations depends upon the Bank’s issuance of a BSA report to the FDIC summarizing the completion of certain corrective action and the FDIC’s approval thereof.

Segment Financials [Abstract]
Segment Financials	Note V — Segment Financials  The Company performed a strategic evaluation of its businesses in the third quarter of 2014. As a result of the evaluation, the Company decided to discontinue its commercial lending operations, as described in Note W- Discontinued Operations. The shift from a traditional bank balance sheet led the Company to evaluate its remaining business structure. Based on the continuing operations of the Company, it was determined that there would be four segments of the business: specialty finance, payments, corporate and discontinued operations. The chief decision maker for these segments is the Chief Executive Officer. Specialty finance includes commercial mortgage loan sales, SBA loans, leasing and security backed lines of credit and any deposits generated by those business lines. Payments include prepaid cards, card payments, ACH processing and healthcare accounts. Corporate includes the Company’s investment portfolio, corporate overhead and non-allocated expenses. Investment income is reallocated to the payments segment. These operating segments reflect the way the Company views its current operations.

Discontinued Operations [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	Note W — Discontinued Operations  The Company performed a strategic evaluation of its businesses in the third quarter of 2014 and decided to discontinue its commercial lending operations and focus on its specialty finance lending. The loans which constitute the commercial loan portfolio are in the process of disposition including sales to independent purchasers. As such, financial results of the commercial lending operations are presented as separate from continuing operations on the consolidated statements of operations, and the assets of the commercial lending operations to be disposed are presented as assets held for sale from discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheets.  The following table presents financial results of the commercial lending business included in net income (loss) from discontinued operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.     For the year ended December 31,  2016 2015 2014  (in thousands)  Interest income $ 18,275 $ 28,925 $ 44,097  Interest expense - - -  Provision for loan and lease losses - - 26,919  Net interest income (loss) after provision 18,275 28,925 17,178   Non interest income 749 2,513 1,624  Non interest expense 62,141 18,645 (35,823)   Income (loss) before taxes (43,117) 12,793 54,625  Income taxes (3,442) 4,721 19,331  Net income (loss) $ (39,675) $ 8,072 $ 35,294      December 31, December 31,  2016 2015  (in thousands)  Loans, net $ 340,396 $ 568,748  Other assets 20,315 15,161  Total assets $ 360,711 $ 583,909   Based upon an independent third party review performed as of September 30, 2014, the first reporting date after discontinuance of commercial loan operations, the Company marked the $1.20 billion commercial lending portfolio balance as of that date to lower of cost or market. An independent third party financial advisory firm assisted in the lower of cost or market valuation, using the income approach in a discounted cash flow model. Large balance commercial loans were modeled on a loan level basis. Small balance commercial loans were modeled on a pool basis where loans are grouped by common characteristics including loan type, loan collateral, amortization type and coupon. The expected cash flows for the loans or pools were derived from the contractual loan terms, adjusted for prepayments and credit considerations as applicable . A n independent third party also assisted in the valuation by reviewing the majority of the credit portfolio for credit inputs into the model. Based on that review, weighted average fair values were applied to the loans not specifically reviewed. Discount rates used in the model were derived from observable market interest rates or credit spreads for comparable loans including national and regional commercial loan pricing surveys, dealer market research and market pricing quotations for new issuance. Market quoted interest rates were adjusted for the subject loan or pool to account for differences in loan characteristics including loan term, loan size, loan vintage and loan credit quality. These analyses are performed at each quarterly and annual reporting period based on available internal and external inputs including loan workout and loan review department inputs .  Various elements of the lower of cost or market valuation are as follows:     Measured on a recurring basis Valuation techniques Significant unobservable inputs Range   Large balance commercial loans Discounted cash flows Discount rate 3.96% -9.89%   Small balance commercial loans Discounted cash flows Discount rate 3.99% -9.18%  The Company has securitized or sold loans with a book value of approximately $406.8 million, of the approximately $1.1 billion in book value of loans in that portfolio as of the September 30, 2014 date of discontinuance of operations. The $ 406.8 million of loans sold had a face value of approximately $481.7 million. Loans with an approximate face and book value of $267.6 million and $192.7 million, respectively , were securitized in the fourth quarter of 2014 to WS 2014 . The securitization is managed by an independent investor, which contributed $16 million of equity to that entity. The balance of the securitization was financed by the Bank and is reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as investment in unconsolidated entity . After $74.9 million of loan charges reflected in the difference between the face value and book value of the loans securitized , the Company recognized a gain on sale of $17.0 million. In the second quarter of 2015, an additional $149.6 million of loans were sold at a gain of approximately $2.2 million . In the third quarter of 2016, $64.6 million of loans were sold at minimal gain. The Company continues to pursue additional loan dispositions.

Summary of Significant Accoun31

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2016
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	1. Basis of Presentation The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP) and predominant practices within the banking industry. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its subsidiaries. All inter-company balances have been eliminated. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The principal estimates that are particularly susceptible to a significant change in the near term relate to the allowance for loan and lease losses, investment other than temporary impairment (OTTI) , investments measured at fair value and deferred income taxes. The Company periodically reviews its investment portfolio to determine whether unrealized losses on securities are temporary, based on evaluations of the creditworthiness of the issuers or guarantors, and underlying collateral, as applicable. In addition, it considers the continuing performance of the securities. Credit losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. If management believes market value losses are temporary and it believes the Company has the ability and intention to hold those securities to maturity, for available for sale securities the reduction in value is recognized in other comprehensive income, through equity and for held to maturity securities the securities are held at amortized cost. Deferred tax assets are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at their net realizable value. The Company performs an assessment each reporting period to evaluate the amount of the deferred tax asset it is more likely than not to realize. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the amount of taxable income expected in future periods, as tax benefits require taxable income to be realized. If a valuation allowance is required, the deferred tax asset on the consolidated balance sheet is reduced via a corresponding income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
Cash And Cash Equivalents	2. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand and amounts due from banks with an original maturity of three months or less and federal funds sold. The Company at times maintains balances in excess of insured limits at various financial institutions including the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB), the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and other private institutions. The Company does not believe these instruments carry a significant risk of loss, but cannot provide assurances that no losses could occur if these institutions were to become insolvent.
Investment Securities	3. Investment Securities Investments in debt securities which the Company has both the ability and intent to hold to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts computed by the effective interest method. Investments in debt and equity securities which management believes may be sold prior to maturity due to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, liquidity requirements, or other factors, are classified as available-for-sale. Net unrealized gains for such securities, net of tax effect, are reported as other comprehensive income and excluded from the determination of net income. The unrealized losses for both the held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities are evaluated to determine first if the impairment is other than temporary then to determine the amount of other - than - temporary impairment that is attributable to credit loss versus non-credit loss. If a credit loss is determined, an other than temporary impairment charge is recorded within the consolidated statement of operations. The Company does not engage in securities trading. Gains or losses on disposition of investment securities are based on the net proceeds and the adjusted carrying amount of the securities sold using the specific identification method. The Company evaluates whether OTTI exists by considering primarily the following factors: (a) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost of the security, (b) changes in the financial condition, credit rating and near-term prospects of the issuer, (c) whether the issuer is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments, (d) changes in the financial condition of the security’s underlying collateral and (e) the payment structure of the security. The Company’s best estimate of expected future cash flows used to determine the amount of other than temporary impairment attributable to credit loss is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third-party sources along with certain internal assumptions and judgments regarding the future performance of the security. The Company’s best estimate of future cash flows involves assumptions including, but not limited to, various performance indicators, such as historical and projected default and recovery rates, credit ratings, current delinquency rates, loan-to - value ratios and the possibility of obligor refinancing. These assumptions require the use of significant management judgment and include the probability of issuer default and estimates regarding timing and amount of expected recoveries which may include estimating the underlying collateral value. In addition, projections of expected future cash flows from a debt security may change based upon new information regarding the performance of the issuer and/or underlying collateral such as changes in the projections of the underlying property value estimates. The Company did no t recognize any OTTI charges in 2016, 2015 and 2014.
Loans And Allowance For Loan And Lease Losses	4. Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the amount of unpaid principal and are net of unearned discounts, unearned loan fees and an allowance for loan and lease losses. The allowance for loan and lease losses is established through a provision for loan and lease losses charged to expense. Loan principal considered to be uncollectible by management is charged against the allowance for loan and lease losses. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible based upon an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. The evaluation takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and size of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, specific problem loans and current economic conditions which may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay. The evaluation also details historical losses by loan category, the resulting loss rates for which are projected at current loan total amounts. Interest income is accrued as earned on a simple interest basis. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. The Company recognizes income on impaired loans when they are placed into non-accrual status on a cash basis when the loans are both current and the collateral on the loan is sufficient to cover the outstanding obligation to the Company. If these factors do not exist, the Company will not recognize income on such loans. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all accumulated accrued interest receivable applicable to periods prior to the current year is charged off to the allowance for loan and lease losses. Interest that had accrued in the current year is reversed out of current period income. Loans reported as having missed four or more consecutive monthly payments and still accruing interest must have both principal and accruing interest adequately secured and must be in the process of collection. Such loans are reported as 90 days delinquent and still accruing. For all loan types, the Company uses the method of reporting delinquencies which considers a loan past due or delinquent if a monthly payment has not been received by the close of business on the loan’s next due date. In the Company’s reporting, two missed payments are reflected as 30 to 59 day delinquencies and three missed payments are reflected as 60 to 89 day delinquencies.  The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of the consolidated balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to loans and leases. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. All, or part, of the principal balance of loans receivable are charged off to the allowance as soon as it is determined that the repayment of all, or part, of the principal balance is highly unlikely. Because all identified losses are immediately charged off, no portion of the allowance for loan losses is restricted to any individual loan or groups of loans, and the entire allowance is available to absorb any and all loan losses.  The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses includes, among other factors, an analysis of historical loss rates and environmental factors by category, applied to current loan totals. However, actual losses may be higher or lower than historical trends, which vary. Actual losses on specified problem loans, which also are provided for in the evaluation, may vary from those estimated loss percentages, which are established based upon a limited number of potential loss classifications.  Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance, which is based on the Company's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, the volume and mix of the existing loan and lease portfolios, including the volume and severity of non-performing and adversely classified credits, an analysis of net charge-offs experienced on previously classified credits, the trend in loan and lease growth, including any rapid increase in loan and lease volume within a relatively short time period, general and local economic conditions affecting the collectability of the Company’s loans and leases, previous loan and lease experience by type, including net charge-offs, as a percentage of average loans and leases over the past several years and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.  The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans and leases that are classified as impaired. For such loans and leases, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, or collateral value, or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. Regardless of the measurement method, a creditor must measure impairment based on the fair value of the collateral when the creditor determines that foreclosure is probable.  The allowance calculation methodology includes further segregation of loan classes into regulatory risk rating categories of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects. Loans classified substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They include loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans rated as special mention and substandard are reserved for based on the average charge-off history for loans and leases previously classified in those categories. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible and are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Loans not classified are included in the general component of the reserve calculation.  The general component covers pools of loans by loan type. These pools of loans are evaluated for loss exposure based upon historical loss rates for each of these categories of loans, adjusted for relevant qualitative factors. Separate qualitative adjustments are made for higher-risk criticized loans that are not impaired. These qualitative risk factors include:  · Changes in lending policies or procedures; · Changes in economic conditions; · Portfolio growth; · Changes in the nature or volume of the portfolio; · Changes in management’s experience; · Past due volume; · Non-accrual volume; · Adversely classified loans; · Quality of the loan review system; · Changes in the value of underlying collateral; · Concentrations of credit; and · External factors. Applicable factors are considered based on management's best judgment using relevant information available at the time of the evaluation. An unallocated component is also maintained to cover additional uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the loan will not be collected 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. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for all impaired loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. An allowance for loan losses is established for an impaired loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair values of substantially all of the Company's impaired loans are measured based on the estimated fair value of the loan's collateral. For SBA commercial loans secured by real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through third-party appraisals or evaluations. When a real estate secured loan becomes impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the original appraisal and the condition of the property. Appraised values are discounted to arrive at the estimated selling price of the collateral, which is considered to be the estimated fair value. The discounts also include estimated costs to sell the property. For SBA commercial and industrial loans secured by non-real estate collateral, such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, estimated fair values are determined based on the borrower's financial statements, inventory reports, accounts receivable agings or equipment appraisals or invoices. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management. Based on management's analysis of the loan portfolio, management believes the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate. Loans originated from continuing operations and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at estimated fair value. Net unrealized gains or losses, if any, are recognized through marks to fair value through the income statement . The Company originates specific commercial mortgage loans for sale in secondary markets. These loans are accounted for under the fair value option and amounted to $663.1 million at December 31, 2016 and $489.9 million at December 31, 2015. These loans were classified as held for sale. Loans from discontinued operations intended for sale primarily to other financial institutions are carried at the lower of cost or market on the balance sheet, determined by loan type or, for larger loans, on an individual loan basis. See Note W to the financial statements.
Premises And Equipment	5. Premises and Equipment Premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed on the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the terms of the related leases.
Internal Use Software	6. Internal Use Software The Company capitalizes costs associated with internally developed and/or purchased software systems for new products and enhancements to existing products that have reached the application stage and meet recoverability tests. Capitalized costs include external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining internal use software, payroll and payroll related expenses for employees who are directly associated with and devote time to the internal use software project and interest costs incurred, if material, while developing internal use software. Capitalization of such costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete and ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. The carrying value of the Company’s software is periodically reviewed and a loss is recognized if the value of the estimated undiscounted cash flow benefit related to the asset falls below the unamortized cost. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related software, which is generally seven years. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had net capitalized software costs of approximately $9.9 million and $5.2 million, respectively. The Company recorded amortization expense of approximately $2.1 million , $1.9 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Income Taxes	7. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between their carrying values on the consolidated financial statements and their tax basis as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense (benefit) is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company recognizes the benefit of a tax position in the consolidated financial statements only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. For these analyses, the Company may engage attorneys to provide opinions related to the positions. The Company applies this policy to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remain open, but this application does not materially impact the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or statement of operations. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in income tax (benefit) expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
Share-Based Compensation	8. Share-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock options in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Stock Based Compensation. The expense of the option is generally measured at fair value at the grant date with compensation expense recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. For grants subject to a service condition, the Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option on the date of grant. The Black-Scholes model takes into consideration the exercise price and expected life of the options, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, the expected dividends on the stock and the current risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the option. The Company’s estimate of the fair value of a stock option is based on expectations derived from historical experience and may not necessarily equate to its market value when fully vested. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company estimates the number of options for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered.
Other Real Estate Owned	9. Other Real Estate Owned Other real estate owned is recorded at estimated fair market value less cost of disposal; which establishes a new cost basis or carrying value. When property is acquired, the excess, if any, of the loan balance over fair market value is charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses. Periodically thereafter, the asset is reviewed for subsequent declines in the estimated fair market value against the carrying value. Subsequent declines, if any, and holding costs, as well as gains and losses on subsequent sale, are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Th e Company had $104,000 and $0 in other real estate owned at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Advertising Costs	10. Advertising Costs  The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $349,000 , $387,000 and $621,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Earnings Per Share	11. Earnings Per Share The Company calculates earnings per share under ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share exclude dilution and are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share take into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. The following tables show the Company’s earnings per share for the periods presented:    Year ended December 31, 2016  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic loss per share from continuing operations  Net loss available to common shareholders $ (56,817) 44,567,357 $ (1.28)  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - - -  Diluted loss per share  Net loss available to common shareholders $ (56,817) 44,567,357 $ (1.28)     Year ended December 31, 2016  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic loss per share from discontinued operations  Net loss available to common shareholders $ (39,675) 44,567,357 $ (0.89)  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - - -  Diluted loss per share  Net loss available to common shareholders $ (39,675) 44,567,357 $ (0.89)     Year ended December 31, 2016  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic loss per share  Net loss available to common shareholders $ (96,492) $ 44,567,357 $ (2.17)  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - - -  Diluted loss per share  Net loss available to common shareholders $ (96,492) 44,567,357 $ (2.17)  Stock options for 2,021,625 shares, exercisable at prices between $6.75 and $25.43 per share were outstanding at December 31, 2016, but were not included in the dilutive shares because the Company had a net loss available to common shareholders.     Year ended December 31, 2015  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic earnings per share from continuing operations  Net income available to common shareholders $ 5,360 37,755,588 $ 0.14  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - 318,630 -  Diluted earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 5,360 38,074,218 $ 0.14     Year ended December 31, 2015  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic earnings per share from discontinued operations  Net income available to common shareholders $ 8,072 37,755,588 $ 0.21  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - 318,630 -  Diluted earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 8,072 38,074,218 $ 0.21     Year ended December 31, 2015  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 13,432 $ 37,755,588 $ 0.35  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - 318,630 -  Diluted earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 13,432 38,074,218 $ 0.35  Stock options for 619,250 shares, exercisable at prices between $9.58 and $25.43 per share, were outstanding at December 31, 2015 but were not included in the dilutive earnings per share computation because the exercise price per share was greater than the average market price.    Year ended December 31, 2014  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic earnings per share from continuing operations  Net income available to common shareholders $ 21,815 37,701,306 $ 0.58  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - 628,438 (0.01)  Diluted earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 21,815 38,329,744 $ 0.57     Year ended December 31, 2014  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic earnings per share from discontinued operations  Net income available to common shareholders $ 35,294 37,701,306 $ 0.94  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - 628,438 (0.02)  Diluted earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 35,294 38,329,744 $ 0.92     Year ended December 31, 2014  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 57,109 $ 37,701,306 $ 1.52  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - 628,438 (0.03)  Diluted earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 57,109 38,329,744 $ 1.49  Stock options for 505,250 shares, exercisable at prices between $9.82 and $25.43 per share, were outstanding at December 31, 2014, but were not included in the dilutive earnings per share computation because the exercise price per share was greater than the average market price. 
Other Comprehensive Income	12. Other Comprehensive Income  Other comprehensive income consists of revenues, expenses, gains and losses that bypass the statement of operations and are reported directly in a separate component of equity.    For the year ended December 31,  2016 2015 2014  (in thousands)  Other comprehensive income (loss)  Change in net unrealized gain/(loss) during the period $ (953) $ (7,169) $ 18,710  Reclassification adjustments for gains included in income (3,170) (14,436) (450)  Reclassification adjustments for foreign currency translation (gains) losses 335 (551) -  Amortization of (gains)/losses previously held as available-for-sale 34 56 (141)  Net unrealized gain/(loss) (3,754) (22,100) 18,119   Deferred tax expense (benefit)  Securities available-for-sale:  Change in net unrealized gain/(loss) during the period (381) (2,544) 6,549  Reclassification adjustments for gains included in income (1,268) (5,147) (158)  Amortization of (gains)/losses previously held as available-for-sale 14 20 (49)  Income tax expense (benefit) related to items of other comprehensive income (1,635) (7,671) 6,342   Other comprehensive income (loss), after tax and net of reclassifications into net income $ (2,119) $ (14,429) $ 11,777 
Restrictions On Cash And Due From Banks	13. Restrictions on Cash and Due from Banks The Bank is required to maintain reserves against customer demand deposits by keeping cash on hand or balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The amount of those required reserves at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $283.1 million and $266.8 million, respectively.
Other Identifiable Intangible Assets	14. Other Identifiable Intangible Assets On November 29, 2012, the Company acquired certain software rights for approximately $1.8 million for use in managing prepaid cards in connection with an acquisition. The software is being amortized over eight years. The Company accounts for its prepaid card customer list in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. The acquisition of the Stored Value Solutions division of Marshall Bank First in 2007 resulted in a customer list intangible of $12.0 million which is being amortized over a 12 year period. Amortization expense is $1.0 million per year ( $4.0 million over the next four years). In May 2016, the Company purchased approximately $60 million of lease receivables which resulted in a customer list intangible of $3.4 million which is being amortized over a 10 year period. Amortization expense is $340,000 per year. These amounts are preliminary based upon continuing analysis. The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization related to the Company’s intangible items at December 31, 2016 and 2015 are presented below.     December 31,  2016 2015  Gross Gross  Carrying Accumulated Carrying Accumulated  Amount Amortization Amount Amortization  (in thousands)   Customer list intangible $ 15,411 $ 9,232 $ 12,006 $ 8,004  Software intangible 1,817 1,090 1,817 890  Total $ 17,228 $ 10,322 $ 13,823 $ 8,894  The approximate future annual amortization of both the Company’s intangible items are as follows (in thousands):     Year ending December 31,  2017 $ 1,529  2018 1,529  2019 1,529  2020 513  2021 340  Thereafter 1,466  $ 6,906 
Reclassifications	15. Reclassifications  Certain reclassifications for investment categories have been made to the 2015 and 2014 restated consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2016 presentation.
Prepaid Card Fees	16. Prepaid Card Fees  The Company recognizes prepaid card fees and affinity fees in the periods in which they are earned by performance of the related services. The majority of fees the Company earns result from contractual transaction fees paid by third party sponsors to the Company and monthly service fees. Additionally, the Company earns interchange fees paid through settlement associations such as Visa, which are also determined on a per transaction basis. The Company records this revenue net of costs such as association fees and interchange transaction charges.
Common Stock Repurchase Program	17. Common Stock Repurchase Program  In 2011, the Company adopted a common stock repurchase program in which share repurchases reduce the amount of shares outstanding. Repurchased shares may be reissued for various corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had repurchased 100,000 shares of the total 750,000 maximum number of shares authorized by the Board of Directors. The 100,000 shares were repurchased at an average cost of $8.66 . The Company did no t repurchase shares in 2016, 2015 or 2014.
Derivative Financial Instruments	18. Derivative Financial Instruments  The Company utilizes derivatives to hedge interest rate risk on the loans it originates for sale into commercial mortgage backed securities markets. These derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives , designated as fair valu e hedges, are recorded in earnings with and in the same consolidated income statement line item as changes in the fair value of the related hedged item. All derivatives are utilized to hedge against interest rate changes between the time commercial mortgages are funded and sold. Accordingly such derivatives serve as a hedge against interest rate movements which might otherwise decrease sales proceeds.
Sale Of Health Savings Account Portfolio	19. Sale of Health Savings Account Portfolio  The Company sold the majority of its health savings account portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2015. A $33.5 million gain was realized after the contractually required transfer of approximately $400 million of related deposit accounts to the purchaser.
Long-term borrowings	20. Long-term Borrowings  The Company sold loans into a securitization which, at December 31, 2016 was accounted for as a secured borrowing. In the first quarter of 2017, the documentation required to account for the transaction as a sale was completed and the sale was recorded in that quarter. Specifically, the Company had an option to repurchase underlying loans in the future which it could unilaterally renounce. Upon the delivery of its unilateral renunciation to all other applicable parties to the transaction, the transaction qualified as a sale.
Purchase of Lease Receivables	21. Purchase of Lease Receivables  The Company purchased approximately $60.0 million of lease receivables from New Concepts Leasing Company, Inc., a New Jersey leasing company which originated commercial vehicle fleet leases on May 12, 201 6 . The leases were purchased as they could be integrated into the Company’s portfolio of similar type vehicle leases and contribute to the growth of the Company’s leasing portfolio. The lease purchase was effectuated through the payment of a premium which resulted in an intangible as more fully described in item 14 of this Note B. Since the May 2016 acquisition of the lease receivables, approximately $3.3 million of related revenues and $892,000 of pre tax earnings were recognized in the Company’s financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	 22. Recent Accounting Pronouncements  In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU establishes a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries in U.S. GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance such as the real estate and construction industries. The revenue standard’s core principal is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. To accomplish this, the standard requires five basic steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) identify the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligation. Three basic transition methods are available: full retrospective, retrospective with certain practical expedients, and a cumulative effect approach. Under the cumulative effect alternative, an entity would apply the new revenue standard only to contracts that are incomplete under legacy U.S. GAAP at the date of initial application and recognize the cumulative effect of the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The guidance in this ASU is effective for annual periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect this ASU will have a significant impact on its financial condition or results of operations.  In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-14, “Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure”. The guidance in this ASU affects creditors that hold government-guaranteed mortgage loans, including those guaranteed by the Federal Home Administration (FHA) and the Veterans Administration (VA). It requires that a mortgage loan be derecognized and a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if the following conditions are met:  1. The loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure. 2. At the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor and make a claim on the guarantee, and the creditor has the ability to recover under the claim. 3. At the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed.  Upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The guidance in this ASU was effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The guidance may be applied using a prospective transition method in which a reporting entity applies the guidance to foreclosures that occur after the date of adoption, or a modified retrospective transition using a cumulative-effect adjustment (through a reclassification to a separate other receivable) as of the beginning of the annual period of adoption. Prior periods should not be adjusted. A reporting entity must apply the same method of transition as elected under ASU 2014-04. The guidance of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition.  In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” . This ASU revises an entity’s accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.  In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. The FASB issued this ASU to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of this ASU is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.  In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The Update simplifies the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees. There are income tax effects resulting from changes in stock price from the grant date to the vesting date of the employee stock compensation. The Update will require these income tax effects to be recognized in the statement of income within income tax expense instead of within additional paid-in capital. In addition, the Update requires changes to the Statement of Cash Flows including the classification between the operating and financing section for tax activity related to employee stock compensation. The Company will adopt the guidance in first quarter 2017 and is studying its impact on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.  In June 2016, the F ASB issued an update to Accounting Standards Update (ASU or Update) 2016-13 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The Update changes the accounting for credit losses on loans and debt securities. For loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, the Update requires a current expected credit loss (CECL) approach to determine the allowance for credit losses. CECL requires loss estimates for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Also, the Update eliminates the existing guidance for purchased credit impaired loans, but requires an allowance for purchased financial assets with more than insignificant deterioration since origination. In addition, the Update modifies the other-than-temporary impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities to require an allowance for credit impairment instead of a direct write-down, which allows for reversal of credit impairments in future periods based on improvements in credit. The guidance is effective in first quarter 2020 with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. While early adoption is permitted beginning in first quarter 2019, the Company does not expect to elect that option. The Company is evaluating the impact of the Update on the consolidated financial statements. The Company expects the Update will result in an increase in the allowance for credit losses given the change to estimated losses over the contractual life adjusted for expected prepayments, as well as the addition of an allowance for debt securities. The amount of the increase will be impacted by the portfolio composition and credit quality at the adoption date as well as economic conditions and forecasts at that time.
