Credit Quality Assessment | Note 8: Credit Quality Assessment Allowance for Credit Losses Credit risk can vary significantly as losses, as a percentage of outstanding loans and leases, can vary widely during economic cycles and are sensitive to changing economic conditions. The amount of loss in any particular type of loan or lease can vary depending on the purpose of the loan or lease and the underlying collateral securing the loan or lease. Collateral securing commercial loans and leases can range from accounts receivable to equipment to improved or unimproved real estate depending on the purpose of the loan or lease. Home mortgage and home equity loans and lines are typically secured by first or second liens on residential real estate. Consumer loans may be secured by personal property, such as auto loans or they may be unsecured loan products. To control and manage credit risk, management has an internal credit process in place to determine whether credit standards are maintained along with an in-house loan and lease administration accompanied by oversight and review procedures. The primary purpose of loan and lease underwriting is the evaluation of specific lending risks that involves the analysis of the borrower’s ability to service the debt as well as the assessment of the value of the underlying collateral. Oversight and review procedures include the monitoring of the portfolio credit quality, early identification of potential problem credits and the management of the problem credits. As part of the oversight and review process, the Company maintains an allowance for credit losses (the “allowance”) to absorb estimated and probable losses in the loan and lease portfolio. The allowance is based on consistent, continuous review and evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio, along with ongoing assessments of the probable losses and problem credits in each portfolio. While portions of the allowance are attributed to specific portfolio segments, the entire allowance is available for credit losses inherent in the total loan and lease portfolio. The following table provides information on the activity in the allowance for credit losses by the respective loan and lease portfolio segment for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017: December 31, 2019 Commercial real estate Commercial Construction Residential real estate owner non-owner loans Consumer (in thousands) and land first lien junior lien occupied occupied and leases loans Total Allowance for credit losses: Beginning balance $ 741 $ 1,170 $ 292 $ 735 $ 4,057 $ 2,644 $ 234 $ 9,873 Charge-offs (282) (518) (532) (46) (2,026) (622) (210) (4,236) Recoveries 80 — 115 — 17 357 2 571 Provision for credit losses 717 1,604 603 99 920 (276) 526 4,193 Ending balance $ 1,256 $ 2,256 $ 478 $ 788 $ 2,968 $ 2,103 $ 552 $ 10,401 Allowance allocated to: individually evaluated for impairment $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 500 $ — $ 500 collectively evaluated for impairment $ 1,256 $ 2,256 $ 478 $ 788 $ 2,968 $ 1,603 $ 552 $ 9,901 Loans and leases: Ending balance $ 128,285 $ 437,409 $ 74,164 $ 241,795 $ 444,052 $ 372,872 $ 46,936 $ 1,745,513 individually evaluated for impairment $ 481 $ 13,131 $ 786 $ 566 $ 1,725 $ 2,360 $ 127 $ 19,176 collectively evaluated for impairment $ 127,804 $ 424,278 $ 73,378 $ 241,229 $ 442,327 $ 370,512 $ 46,809 $ 1,726,337 December 31, 2018 Commercial real estate Commercial Construction Residential real estate owner non-owner loans Consumer (in thousands) and land first lien junior lien occupied occupied and leases loans Total Allowance for credit losses: Beginning balance $ 735 $ 668 $ 177 $ 617 $ 1,410 $ 2,529 $ 23 $ 6,159 Charge-offs (202) (142) (195) (28) (797) (1,092) (63) (2,519) Recoveries — 8 10 — 32 88 4 142 Provision for credit losses 208 636 300 146 3,412 1,119 270 6,091 Ending balance $ 741 $ 1,170 $ 292 $ 735 $ 4,057 $ 2,644 $ 234 $ 9,873 Allowance allocated to: individually evaluated for impairment $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 2,195 $ 200 $ — $ 2,395 collectively evaluated for impairment $ 741 $ 1,170 $ 292 $ 735 $ 1,862 $ 2,444 $ 234 7,478 Loans and leases: Ending balance $ 123,671 $ 383,044 $ 89,645 $ 234,102 $ 427,747 $ 336,876 $ 54,666 $ 1,649,751 individually evaluated for impairment $ 1,449 $ 13,259 $ 1,137 $ 1,268 $ 5,018 $ 2,455 $ 174 24,760 collectively evaluated for impairment $ 122,222 $ 369,785 $ 88,508 $ 232,834 $ 422,729 $ 334,421 $ 54,492 $ 1,624,991 Acquired loans from the First Mariner merger in 2018 were evaluated for impairment subsequent to the merger.

At such time an action plan is agreed upon for the particular loan or lease, an appraisal will be ordered (for real estate based collateral) depending on the time elapsed since the prior appraisal, the loan or lease balance and/or the result of the internal evaluation. The Company’s policy is to strictly adhere to regulatory appraisal standards. If an appraisal is ordered, no more than a 45 day turnaround is requested from the appraiser, who is selected from an approved appraiser list. After receipt of the updated appraisal, the Company’s Watch Committee will determine whether a specific reserve or a charge-off should be taken based upon an impairment analysis. When potential losses are identified, a specific provision and/or charge-off may be taken, based on the then current likelihood of repayment, that is at least in the amount of the collateral deficiency, and any potential collection costs, as determined by the independent third party appraisal. Any further collateral deterioration may result in either further specific reserves being established or additional charge-offs. The President and the Chief Lending Officer have the authority to approve a specific reserve or charge-off between Watch Committee meetings to ensure that there are no significant time lapses during this process. The Company’s systematic methodology for evaluating whether a loan or lease is impaired begins with risk-rating credits on an individual basis and includes consideration of the borrower’s overall financial condition, resources and payment record, the sufficiency of collateral and, in a select few cases, support from financial guarantors. In measuring impairment, the Company looks to the discounted cash flows of the project itself or the value of the collateral as the primary sources of repayment of the loan or lease. The Company will consider the existence of guarantees and the financial strength and wherewithal of the guarantors involved in any loan or lease relationship as both a secondary source of repayment and for the potential as the primary repayment of the loan or lease . The Company typically relies on recent third party appraisals of the collateral to assist in measuring impairment. Management has established a credit process that dictates that structured procedures be performed to monitor these loans or leases between the receipt of an original appraisal and the updated appraisal. These procedures include the following: · An internal evaluation is updated quarterly to include borrower financial statements and/or cash flow projections. · The borrower may be contacted for a meeting to discuss an update or revised action plan which may include a request for additional collateral. · Re-verification of the documentation supporting the Company’s position with respect to the collateral securing the loan or lease. · At the Watch Committee meeting the loan may be downgraded and a specific reserve may be decided upon in advance of the receipt of the appraisal if it is determined that the likelihood of repayment is in doubt. The Company generally follows a policy of not extending maturities on non-performing loans and leases under existing terms. The Company may extend the maturity of a performing or current loan or lease that may have some inherent weakness associated with the loan or lease. Maturity date extensions only occur under terms that clearly place the Company in a position to assure full collection of the loan or lease under the contractual terms and/or terms at the time of the extension that may eliminate or mitigate the inherent weakness in the loan or lease. These terms may incorporate, but are not limited to additional assignment of collateral, significant balance curtailments/liquidations and assignments of additional project cash flows. Guarantees may be a consideration in the extension of loan or lease maturities, but the Company does not extend loans or leases based solely on guarantees. As a general matter, the Company does not view extension of a loan or lease to be a satisfactory approach to resolving non-performing credits. On an exception basis, certain performing loans and leases that have displayed some inherent weakness in the underlying collateral values, an inability to comply with certain loan or lease covenants which are not affecting the performance of the credit or other identified weakness may be extended. Collateral values or estimates of discounted cash flows (inclusive of any potential cash flow from guarantees) are evaluated to estimate the probability and severity of potential losses. A specific amount of impairment is established based on the Company’s calculation of the probable loss inherent in the individual loan or lease. The actual occurrence and severity of losses involving impaired credits can differ substantially from estimates.

If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. · Substandard - Substandard loans and leases are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans and leases so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize 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. · Doubtful - Loans and leases classified Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified 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. Loans and leases classified Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful or Loss are reviewed at least quarterly to determine their appropriate classification. All commercial loan and lease relationships are reviewed annually. Non-classified residential mortgage loans and consumer loans are not evaluated unless a specific event occurs to raise the awareness of a possible credit deterioration.

Total loans and leases either in non-accrual status or in excess of 90 days delinquent totaled $17.9 million or 1.0% of total loans and leases outstanding at December 31, 2019, which represents a $6.6 million decrease from $24.5 million at December 31, 2018. The Company had no impaired leases for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The impaired loans for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows: December 31, 2019 Commercial real estate Commercial Construction Residential real estate owner non-owner loans Consumer (in thousands) and land first lien junior lien occupied occupied and leases loans Total Impaired loans: Recorded investment 1 $ 481 $ 13,131 $ 786 $ 566 $ 1,725 $ 2,360 $ 127 $ 19,176 With an allowance recorded — — — — — 554 — 554 With no related allowance recorded 481 13,131 786 566 1,725 1,806 127 18,622 Related allowance — — — — — 500 — 500 Unpaid principal 667 14,371 986 583 2,023 3,584 130 22,344 Average balance of impaired loans 814 15,586 1,338 594 2,105 4,392 141 24,970 Interest income recognized 5 400 106 30 11 195 1 748 December 31, 2018 Commercial real estate Commercial Construction Residential real estate owner non-owner loans Consumer (in thousands) and land first lien junior lien occupied occupied and leases loans Total Impaired loans: Recorded investment 1 $ 1,449 $ 13,259 $ 1,137 $ 1,268 $ 5,018 $ 2,455 $ 174 $ 24,760 With an allowance recorded — — — — 2,816 200 — 3,016 With no related allowance recorded 1,449 13,259 1,137 1,268 2,202 2,255 174 21,744 Related allowance — — — — 2,195 200 — 2,395 Unpaid principal 1,873 14,425 1,456 1,569 5,295 4,868 185 29,671 Average balance of impaired loans 1,873 15,446 1,448 1,569 5,340 5,556 185 31,417 Interest income recognized — 474 51 16 5 125 5 676 1 Included are acquired credit impaired loans where the Company amortizes the accretable discount into interest income, however these loans do not accrue interest based on the terms of the loan. Included in the total impaired loans above were non-accrual loans of $17.8 million and $23.6 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Interest income that would have been recorded if non-accrual loans had been current and in accordance with their original terms, was $748 thousand, $1.2 million and $898 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Loans may have their terms restructured (e.g., interest rates, loan maturity date, payment and amortization period, etc.) in circumstances that provide payment relief to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. Such restructured loans are considered impaired loans that may either be in accruing status or non-accruing status. Non-accruing restructured loans may return to accruing status provided there is a sufficient period of payment performance in accordance with the restructure terms. Loans may be removed from the restructured category in the year subsequent to the restructuring if they have performed based on all of the restructured loan terms. The Company had no troubled debt restructured (“TDR”) leases at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The TDR loans at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows: December 31, 2019 Number Non-Accrual Number Accrual Total (dollars in thousands) of Loans Status of Loans Status TDRs Construction and land 1 $ 125 — $ — $ 125 Residential real estate - first lien 2 274 2 968 1,242 Commercial loans and leases 1 414 2 367 781 4 $ 813 4 $ 1,335 $ 2,148 December 31, 2018 Number Non-Accrual Number Accrual Total (dollars in thousands) of Loans Status of Loans Status TDRs Construction and land — $ — 1 $ 125 $ 125 Residential real estate - first lien 2 291 2 982 1,273 Commercial - non-owner occupied 2 2,815 — — 2,815 Commercial loans and leases 1 514 — — 514 5 $ 3,620 3 $ 1,107 $ 4,727 A summary of TDR loan modifications outstanding and performance under modified terms is as follows: December 31, 2019 Not Performing Performing Related to Modified to Modified Total (in thousands) Allowance Terms Terms TDRs Construction and land Extension or other modification $ — $ 125 $ — $ 125 Residential real estate - first lien Extension or other modification — 274 968 1,242 Commercial loans Extension or other modification — — 367 367 Forbearance — 414 — 414 Total troubled debt restructured loans $ — $ 813 $ 1,335 $ 2,148 December 31, 2018 Not Performing Performing Related to Modified to Modified Total (in thousands) Allowance Terms Terms TDRs Construction and land Extension or other modification $ — $ — $ 125 $ 125 Residential real estate - first lien Extension or other modification — 291 982 1,273 Commercial RE - non-owner occupied Rate modification 2,195 2,815 — 2,815 Commercial loans Forbearance — 514 — 514 Total troubled debt restructured loans $ 2,195 $ 3,620 $ 1,107 $ 4,727 There were two new commercial loans with terms extended and their payments modified during 2019 totaling $367 thousand that are currently performing in accordance with their modified terms. Additionally, the land development loan was downgraded from performing to non-performing in 2019 and two commercial real estate loans totaling $2.4 million at December 31, 2018 were subsequently charged-off in 2019. Performing TDRs were in compliance with their modified terms and there are no further commitments associated with these loans. Management routinely evaluates other real estate owned (“OREO”) based upon periodic appraisals. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 there were additional allowances recorded of $473 thousand, $352 thousand and $581 thousand, respectively, as the current appraised value, less estimated cost to sell, was not sufficient to cover the recorded OREO amount. For 2019 there were three residential first lien loans totaling $1.4 million transferred from loans to OREO. In 2019, the Company sold two land development properties with a carrying value totaling $49 thousand, two commercial real estate properties with a carrying value of $1.1 million and four residential first lien loan with a carrying value of $1.1 million, recording a $28 thousand gain from the sale of these properties. At December 31, 2019, there were three residential first lien loans totaling $2.7 million, and one residential junior lien loan of $23 thousand in the process of foreclosure. |
