See Note 2 – Acquisitions for more information. The CARES Act created the PPP, which is administered by the SBA. The PPP is intended to provide loans to small businesses to pay their employees, rent, mortgage interest and utilities. The loans may be forgiven conditioned upon the client providing payroll documentation evidencing their compliant use of funds and otherwise complying with the terms of the program. The Bank is an approved SBA lender and as of December 31, 2020, the Cash, Securities and Other portion of the loan portfolio included $142.9 million of PPP loans, or 40.0% of the total category. The Company is a participant in the Federal Reserve’s MSLP to support lending to small and medium-sized for profit businesses and nonprofit organizations that were in sound financial condition before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s Commercial and Industrial loans included six MSLP loan with the net carrying amount of $6.6 million, or 4.5% of the total category. Loan Modifications As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a loan modification program was designed and implemented to assist our clients experiencing financial stress resulting from the economic impacts caused by the global pandemic. The Company offered loan extensions, temporary payment moratoriums, and financial covenant waivers for commercial and consumer borrowers impacted by the pandemic who have a pass risk rating and have not been delinquent over 30 days on payments in the last two years. During 2020, the Company’s loan portfolio included 89 loans which were modified during the year, totaling $160.8 million. Two of these loans were still in their deferral period as of December 31, 2020 in the amount of $2.1 million. The following presents loans in their deferral period under the Company’s COVID-19 loan modification program as of December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands): Total Loans # of Loans Modified Outstanding Balance of Modified Loans % of Total Loan Balance Modified Cash, Securities and Other $ 357,020 — $ — — % Construction and Development 131,111 — — — 1-4 Family Residential 455,038 1 346 0.02 Non-Owner Occupied CRE 281,943 — — — Owner Occupied CRE 163,042 1 1,716 0.11 Commercial and Industrial 146,031 — — — Total Loans $ 1,534,185 2 $ 2,062 0.13 % The CARES Act provides banks optional, temporary relief from accounting for certain loan modifications as a TDR. The modifications must be related to the adverse effects of COVID-19, and certain other criteria are required to be met in order to apply the relief. Interagency guidance from Federal Reserve and the FDIC confirmed with the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. We believe our loan modification program meets that definition. In accordance with that guidance, the Company is recognizing interest income on all loans modified for temporary payment moratoriums, primarily for a period of 180 days or less. All loans modified in response to COVID-19 are classified as performing and pass rated as of December 31, 2020. These loans are included in the allowance for loan loss general reserve in accordance with ASC 450-20. Management has increased our loan level reviews and portfolio monitoring to address the changing environment. The Company continues to meet regularly with clients who could be more highly impacted by the recent COVID-19 pandemic. These are borrowers in accommodations, transportation and restaurant industries, which we believe may be more impacted by the pandemic, and those loans where there may be a greater than 50% probability of a downgrade, covenant violation or 20% reduction in collateral position. The portion of our credit exposure to the highest risk industries impacted by COVID-19, such as accommodations, transportation and restaurants, is less than 3.0% of our loan portfolio. Management believes the diversity of the loan portfolio is prudent and remains consistent with the credit culture and goals of the Bank. Interest accrued during the modification term on modified loans is deferred to the end of the loan term. As of December 31, 2020, no allowance for loan loss was deemed necessary on the accrued interest balances related to loan modifications.

Non-Accrual Loans and Troubled Debt Restructurings The following presents the recorded investment in non-accrual loans by class as of the dates noted (in thousands): December 31, December 31, 2020 2019 Cash, Securities and Other $ 50 $ 2,803 Owner Occupied CRE 479 — Commercial and Industrial 3,529 4,412 Total $ 4,058 $ 7,215 Non-accrual loans classified as TDR accounted for $3.6 million of the recorded investment as of December 31, 2020 and $7.2 million as of December 31, 2019, respectively. Non-accrual loans are classified as impaired loans and individually evaluated for impairment.

This loan was fully paid off as of December 31, 2020. The Company modified one loan into a TDR during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Borrower was having difficulty making payments in accordance with the original contract terms. The Company restructured the loan including receiving a large paydown and extended the maturity and lowered the interest rate as a result of the Borrower’s financial difficulties. The loan paid off in full as of December 31, 2020. The Company modified one borrower relationship with two loans into a TDR for the year ended December 31, 2019. The borrower, who has loans that are classified as Commercial and Industrial, was not making payments in accordance with the original contract terms. The modification included an extension of the maturity date that the Company would not have otherwise considered as a result of the Borrower’s financial difficulties. The extension of maturity was for a period of approximately nine months. These two loans are currently on non-accrual and the borrower was not making payments as agreed for the year ended December 31, 2020. TDRs are reviewed individually for impairment and are included in the Company’s specific reserves in the allowance for loan losses. If charged off, the amount of the charge off is included in the Company’s charge off factors, which impact the Company’s reserves on non-impaired loans.

The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans by credit risk on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Special Mention—Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness or borrowing relationships that require more than the usual amount of management attention. Adverse industry conditions, deteriorating financial conditions, declining trends, management problems, documentation deficiencies or other similar weaknesses may be evident. Ability to meet current payment schedules may be questionable, even though interest and principal are still being paid as agreed. The asset has potential weaknesses that may result in deteriorating repayment prospects if left uncorrected. Loans in this risk grade are not considered adversely classified. Substandard—Substandard loans are considered "classified" and are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans in this category may be placed on non-accrual status and may individually be evaluated for impairment if indicators of impairment exist. Doubtful—Loans graded Doubtful are considered "classified" and have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. However, the amount of certainty of eventual loss is not known because of specific pending factors. Loans not meeting any of the three criteria above are considered to be pass-rated loans.
