Loans, Notes, Trade and Other Receivables Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 7 – LOANS, ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY Loans consisted of the following as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015: March 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 (In Thousands) Real estate - residential $ 138,212 $ 138,628 Real estate - commercial 66,452 62,118 Real estate- municipal 8,579 8,629 Real estate - construction and land development 14,463 10,070 Home equity 46,364 47,681 Commercial and industrial 43,297 35,305 Municipal 6,417 3,610 Consumer 21,493 19,350 Total loans 345,277 325,391 Allowance for loan losses (3,160 ) (3,028 ) Deferred costs, net 1,586 1,332 Net loans $ 343,703 $ 323,695 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, 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 three months ended March 31, 2016. 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 these segments 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 these segments. 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 and land development 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 Bank’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: Risk 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 March 31, 2016, $205.2 million of the total residential, home equity and consumer loan portfolio of $206.0 million was not formally rated. As of December 31, 2015, $204.7 million of the total residential, home equity and consumer loan portfolio of $205.7 million was 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 March 31, 2016 were 1.72% of total loans outstanding compared to 1.21% on December 31, 2015. The Company’s allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2016 was 0.91% of total loans compared to 0.93% as of December 31, 2015. An age analysis of past-due loans, segregated by class of loans, as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is as follows: 30-59 Days 60-89 Days 90 Days or More Past Due Total Past Due Total Current Total Loans 90 Days or More Past Due and Accruing Nonaccrua l Loans (In Thousands) March 31, 2016: Real estate: Residential $ 541 $ - $ 453 $ 994 $ 137,218 $ 138,212 $ - $ 942 Commercial - - 1,637 1,637 64,815 66,452 - 2,249 Municipal - - - - 8,579 8,579 - - Construction and land development - - - - 14,463 14,463 - - Home equity - 83 146 229 46,135 46,364 - 229 Commercial and industrial 756 1,175 342 2,273 41,024 43,297 - 342 Municipal - - - - 6,417 6,417 - - Consumer 79 - 15 94 21,399 21,493 - 15 Total $ 1,376 $ 1,258 $ 2,593 $ 5,227 $ 340,050 $ 345,277 $ - $ 3,777 December 31, 2015: Real estate: Residential $ - $ 1,062 $ 594 $ 1,656 $ 136,972 $ 138,628 $ - $ 1,086 Commercial - - 1,668 1,668 60,450 62,118 - 2,285 Municipal - - - - 8,629 8,629 - - Construction and land development - - - - 10,070 10,070 - - Home equity 35 84 178 297 47,384 47,681 - 340 Commercial and industrial - - 363 363 34,942 35,305 - 363 Municipal - - - - 3,610 3,610 - - Consumer 47 7 5 59 19,291 19,350 - 5 Total $ 82 $ 1,153 $ 2,808 $ 4,043 $ 321,348 $ 325,391 $ - $ 4,079 Information about loans that meet the definition of an impaired loan in ASC 310-10-35 is as follows as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015: Recorded Investment Unpaid Principal Balance Related Allowance Average Recorded Investment Interest Income Recognized (In Thousands) March 31, 2016: With no related allowance recorded: Real Estate: Residential $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - Commercial 2,247 2,247 - 2,276 19 Construction and land development - - - - - Home equity - - - - - Commercial and industrial - - - - - Total impaired with no related allowance $ 2,247 $ 2,247 $ - $ 2,276 $ 19 With an allowance recorded: Real Estate: Residential $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - Commercial - - - - - Construction and land development - - - - - Home equity - - - - - Commercial and industrial 342 342 2 356 - Total impaired with an allowance recorded $ 342 $ 342 $ 2 $ 356 $ - Total Real Estate: Residential $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - Commercial 2,247 2,247 - 2,276 19 Construction and land development - - - - - Home equity - - - - - Commercial and industrial 342 342 2 356 - Total impaired loans $ 2,589 $ 2,589 $ 2 $ 2,632 $ 19 December 31, 2015: With no related allowance recorded: Real Estate: Residential $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - Commercial 2,285 2,285 - 2,358 77 Construction and land development - - - - - Home equity - - - - - Commercial and industrial - - - - - Total impaired with no related allowance $ 2,285 $ 2,285 $ - $ 2,358 $ 77 With an allowance recorded: Real Estate: Residential $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - Commercial - - - - - Construction and land development - - - - - Home equity - - - - - Commercial and industrial 363 363 2 404 - Total impaired with an allowance recorded $ 363 $ 363 $ 2 $ 404 $ - Total Real Estate: Residential $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - Commercial 2,285 2,285 - 2,358 77 Construction and land development - - - - - Home equity - - - - - Commercial and industrial 363 363 2 404 - Total impaired loans $ 2,648 $ 2,648 $ 2 $ 2,762 $ 77 The Bank’s TDRs are determined by management.
