Loans, Notes, Trade and Other Receivables Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 7 – LOAN INFORMATION Loans consisted of the following as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014: September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 (In Thousands) Real estate - residential $ 137,518 $ 132,553 Real estate - commercial 47,454 46,982 Real estate - construction and land development 17,919 13,234 Municipal 12,502 10,061 Home equity 47,017 46,403 Commercial and industrial 26,813 19,038 Consumer 16,732 16,576 305,955 284,847 Allowance for loan losses (2,897 ) (2,761 ) Deferred loan origination costs, net 1,368 1,295 Net loans $ 304,426 $ 283,381 The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. General component: The general component of the allowance for loan losses is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors stratified by the following loan segments: residential real estate, commercial real estate, construction and land development, municipal, home equity, commercial and consumer. Management uses a rolling average of historical losses based on a time frame appropriate to capture relevant loss data for each loan segment. This historical loss factor is adjusted for the following qualitative factors: levels/trends in delinquencies; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting standards and other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices; experience/ability/depth of lending management and staff; and national and local economic trends and conditions. There were no changes in the Company’s policies or methodology pertaining to the general component of the allowance for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows: Residential real estate and home equity: The Company generally does not originate loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80% without obtaining private mortgage insurance for any amounts over 80% and does not grant subprime loans. All loans in this segment are collateralized by owner-occupied residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. Commercial real estate: Loans in this segment are primarily owner occupied properties throughout the Farmington Valley in Connecticut. Management continually monitors the financial performance of these loans and the related operating entities. Construction loans: Loans in this segment primarily include real estate development loans for which payment is derived from the sale of the property. Credit risk is affected by cost overruns, time to sell at adequate prices, and market conditions. Commercial loans: Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by the assets of the businesses. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the businesses. A weakened economy will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. Consumer loans: Loans in this segment are made for the purpose of financing automobiles, various types of consumer goods and other personal purposes. Most of the Company’s consumer loans are secured by personal property purchased with the proceeds of such consumer loans. Allocated component: The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial, commercial real estate and construction 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 is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value) of the impaired loan are lower than the carrying value of that loan. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential real estate loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are subject to a troubled debt restructuring agreement. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. 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. The Company may periodically agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). All TDRs are initially classified as impaired. Unallocated component: An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating allocated and general reserves in the portfolio.

Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 7. A “Pass” is defined as risk rating 1 through 3.5 . A description of each rating class is as follows: R isk Rating 1 (Superior) Risk Rating 2 (Good) Risk Rating 3 (Satisfactory) – Risk Rating 3.5 (Bankable with Care) Risk Rating 4 (Special Mention) Risk Rating 5 (Substandard) Risk Rating 6 (Doubtful) Risk Rating 7 (Loss) Loans not formally rated include residential, home equity and consumer loans. As of September 30, 2015, $200.3 million of the total residential, home equity and consumer loan portfolio of $201.3 million were not formally rated. As of December 31, 2014, $194.9 million of the total residential, home equity and consumer loan portfolio of $195.5 million were not formally rated. The performance of these loans is measured by delinquency status. The Bank underwrites first mortgage loans in accordance with FHLMC and FNMA guidelines. These guidelines provide for specific requirements with regard to documentation, loan to value and debt to income ratios. Guidelines for home equity loans and lines place a maximum loan to value of 80% on these loans and lines and the Bank requires full underwriting disclosure documentation for these loans. These underwriting factors have produced a loan portfolio with low delinquencies. Total non-accrual and delinquent loans as of September 30, 2015 were 1.50% of total loans outstanding compared to 1.08% of total loans outstanding on December 31, 2014. There were no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company’s allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2015 was 0.94% of total loans compared to 0.97% of total loans as of December 31, 2014. An age analysis of past-due loans, segregated by class of loans, as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is as follows: 90 Days Total Total Total 30–59 Days 60–89 Days or More Past Due Current Loans (In Thousands) September 30, 2015: Real estate: Residential $ - $ 971 $ 789 $ 1,760 $ 135,791 $ 137,551 Commercial 623 540 1,152 2,315 45,139 47,454 Construction and land development - - - - 17,919 17,919 Home equity - - - - 47,017 47,017 Municipal - - - - 8,572 8,572 Commercial and industrial - - 382 382 26,431 26,813 Municipal - - - - 3,930 3,930 Consumer 85 23 2 110 16,622 16,732 Total $ 708 $ 1,534 $ 2,325 $ 4,567 $ 301,421 $ 305,988 December 31, 2014: Real estate: Residential $ 147 $ - $ 516 $ 663 $ 131,890 $ 132,553 Commercial - - 860 860 46,122 46,982 Construction and land development - - - - 13,234 13,234 Home equity 328 - 77 405 45,998 46,403 Municipal - - - - 8,602 8,602 Commercial and industrial - - 439 439 18,599 19,038 Municipal - - - - 1,459 1,459 Consumer 124 19 - 143 16,433 16,576 Total $ 599 $ 19 $ 1,892 $ 2,510 $ 282,337 $ 284,847 The following table sets forth information regarding nonaccrual loans as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014: Nonaccrual Nonaccrual September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 (In Thousands) Real estate: Residential $ 1,054 $ 1,064 Commercial 2,315 860 Construction and land development - - Home equity 263 165 Commercial and industrial 382 439 Consumer - - Total $ 4,014 $ 2,528 Information about loans that meet the definition of an impaired loan in ASC 310-10-35 is as follows as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014: Unpaid Average Interest Recorded Principal Related Recorded Income Investment Balance Allowance Investment Recognized (In Thousands) September 30, 2015: With no related allowance recorded: Real Estate: Residential $ - $ - $ - $ 10 $ - Commercial 2,315 2,315 - 2,221 58 Home equity - - - - - Construction and land development - - - - - Commercial and industrial 382 382 - 410 Total impaired with no related allowance $ 2,697 $ 2,697 $ - $ 2,641 $ 58 With an allowance recorded: Total impaired with an allowance recorded $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - Total Real Estate: Residential $ - $ - $ - $ 10 $ - Commercial 2,315 2,315 - 2,221 58 Home equity - - - - - Construction and land development - - - - - Commercial and industrial 382 382 - 410 - Total impaired loans $ 2,697 $ 2,697 $ - $ 2,641 $ 58 Unpaid Average Interest Recorded Principal Related Recorded Income Investment Balance Allowance Investment Recognized (In Thousands) December 31, 2014: With no related allowance recorded: Real Estate: Residential $ 170 $ 170 $ - $ 172 $ 5 Commercial 860 860 - 896 - Construction and land development - - - 133 56 Home equity 3 3 - 4 - Total impaired with no related allowance $ 1,033 $ 1,033 $ - $ 1,205 $ 61 With an allowance recorded: Residential $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - Commercial - - - - - Construction and land development - - - - - Home equity - - - - - Commercial and industrial 439 439 6 372 - Total impaired with an allowance recorded $ 439 $ 439 $ 6 $ 372 $ - Total Real Estate: Residential $ 170 $ 170 $ - $ 172 $ 5 Commercial 860 860 - 896 - Construction and land development - - - 133 56 Home equity 3 3 - 4 - Commercial and industrial 439 439 6 372 - Total impaired loans $ 1,472 $ 1,472 $ 6 $ 1,577 $ 61 The Bank’s troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) are determined by management. TDRs may include all accrued interest, late charges, title and recording fees, and attorney’s fees being added back to the pre-modification balance.

There was one commercial loan that was modified as a troubled debt restructuring during the year ended December 31, 2014. The loan, with a recorded investment of $439 thousand, had its payments temporarily reduced as part of the modification. The loan was individually evaluated for impairment as of December 31, 2014 and it was determined that a $6 thousand specific allowance was required. On September 30, 2015, the loan had a recorded investment of $382 thousand and cash flows from the borrower showed no necessity of maintaining the specific allowance. The loan was kept in nonaccrual status at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. As of September 30, 2015, there were no foreclosed residential real estate properties held by the Company. The recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that were in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction amounted to $315 thousand at September 30, 2015. The balance of mortgage servicing rights included in other assets at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $1.92 million and $1.58 million, respectively. Mortgage servicing rights of $781 thousand and $531 thousand were capitalized for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively. Amortization of mortgage servicing rights was $431 thousand and $401 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively. The fair value of these rights was $2.52 million and $2.05 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Mortgage loans serviced for others were not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of mortgage loans serviced for others were $216.8 million and $176.8 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. |
