Credit Quality Assessment | Note 5: Credit Quality Assessment Allowance for Credit Losses Summary information on the allowance for credit loss activity for the period indicated is presented in the following table: For the six months ended For the three months ended June 30, June 30, (in thousands) 2020 2019 2020 2019 Beginning balance $ 10,401 $ 9,873 $ 13,384 $ 8,754 Charge-offs (614) (3,728) (31) (874) Recoveries 124 140 3 130 Net charge-offs (490) (3,588) (28) (744) Provision for credit losses 6,445 2,835 3,000 1,110 Ending balance $ 16,356 $ 9,120 $ 16,356 $ 9,120 The June 30, 2020 allowance reflects the Company’s assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on the national and local economies and the impact on various categories of our loan portfolio. Management’s approach to COVID-19 and the evaluation of the allowance considered the following: (1) any change in historical loss rates resulting from COVID-19; (2) any risk rating downgrades related to COVID-19; and (3) any changes to collateral valuations or cash flow assumptions for impaired loans. Based on this review, the Company determined that some risk rating downgrades had occurred and were factored into the quantitative allowance at June 30, 2020. The Company then reviewed its qualitative factors and identified three factors that warranted further evaluation: ● Changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectibility of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments; ● The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations; and ● Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans. The Company’s evaluation of changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments, considered the abrupt slowdown in commercial economic activity resulting from actions announced by the State of Maryland between the March 5 disclosure of the first confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the state and the March 23 executive order closing all non-essential businesses in the state. In addition, management considered the dramatic rise in the unemployment rate in the Company’s market area. Based on U.S. Department of Labor weekly initial unemployment claims by state, management noted that the average weekly initial unemployment claims for the State of Maryland during the two weeks ending March 28, 2020 were 19 times higher than the average weekly claims for the first eleven weeks of 2020. While the rate of change in average weekly initial unemployment claims slowed during the second quarter of 2020, they were still 13 times higher than the average weekly claims for the first eleven weeks of 2020. While the Maryland economy has substantially reopened, the decline in economic activity during the second quarter and the heightened risk of setbacks in the pace of reopening the economy resulted in an increase in this qualitative factor applied to all loan portfolio categories. The Company also evaluated the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations. Management performed an analysis of the loan portfolio to identify the Company’s exposure to industry segments that may potentially be the most highly impacted by COVID-19. Based on this evaluation, the following table identifies those industry segments within the Company’s loan portfolio that management believes may potentially be most highly impacted by COVID-19. Loan balances and total credit exposures are as of June 30, 2020 while the modification and PPP loan balances are as of July 24, 2020; note that the column “SBA PPP Loan Relief” indicates the amount of PPP loans received by the Company’s borrowers in each of the identified loan segments.

An increase in this qualitative factor was applied to these high impact loan portfolio categories. The Company’s evaluation of potential changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans considered the potential impact of the economic fallout from COVID-19 on commercial property values due to rent relief and possible business failures resulting in vacancies. In addition, the need for office space may diminish in the future as work from home policies have allowed much office-oriented business activity to continue. Excluding the high impact portfolios, management concluded that 55% of the Company’s non-owner-occupied commercial real estate portfolio was not included in the high impact exposure. An increase in this qualitative factor was applied to the Company’s non-owner-occupied commercial real estate portfolio. Loans funded through the PPP program are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government and the Company anticipates that the majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. Therefore, no allowance for credit losses is attributable to this loan portfolio segment. The following table provides information on the activity in the allowance for credit losses by the respective loan portfolio segment for the six and three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2019: At June 30, 2020 Commercial real estate Commercial Paycheck Construction Residential real estate owner non-owner loans Consumer Protection (in thousands) and land first lien junior lien occupied occupied and leases loans Program Total Allowance for credit losses: Six months ended: Beginning balance $ 1,256 $ 2,256 $ 478 $ 788 $ 2,968 $ 2,103 $ 552 $ — $ 10,401 Charge-offs — (33) — — (23) (549) (9) — (614) Recoveries — 3 52 — — 67 2 — 124 Provision for credit losses 269 488 394 1,018 2,645 1,435 196 — 6,445 Ending balance $ 1,525 $ 2,714 $ 924 $ 1,806 $ 5,590 $ 3,056 $ 741 $ — $ 16,356 Three months ended: Beginning balance $ 1,192 $ 2,204 $ 863 $ 1,254 $ 4,130 $ 2,950 $ 791 $ — $ 13,384 Charge-offs — — — — (23) — (8) — (31) Recoveries — — 1 — — 1 1 — 3 Provision for credit losses 333 510 60 552 1,483 105 (43) — 3,000 Ending balance $ 1,525 $ 2,714 $ 924 $ 1,806 $ 5,590 $ 3,056 $ 741 $ — $ 16,356 Allowance allocated to: individually evaluated for impairment $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — collectively evaluated for impairment $ 1,525 $ 2,714 $ 924 $ 1,806 $ 5,590 $ 3,056 $ 741 $ — $ 16,356 Loans and leases: Ending balance $ 128,567 $ 409,402 $ 67,430 $ 244,802 $ 455,051 $ 352,999 $ 46,660 $ 193,719 $ 1,898,630 individually evaluated for impairment $ 347 $ 13,679 $ 1,365 $ 800 $ 576 $ 1,619 $ 102 $ — $ 18,488 collectively evaluated for impairment $ 128,220 $ 395,723 $ 66,065 $ 244,002 $ 454,475 $ 351,380 $ 46,558 $ 193,719 $ 1,880,142 At June 30, 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: Six months ended: Beginning balance $ 741 $ 1,170 $ 292 $ 735 $ 4,057 $ 2,644 $ 234 $ 9,873 Charge-offs (282) (362) (471) (44) (2,026) (525) (18) (3,728) Recoveries — — 104 — 3 32 1 140 Provision for credit losses 669 982 512 202 765 (456) 161 2,835 Ending balance $ 1,128 $ 1,790 $ 437 $ 893 $ 2,799 $ 1,695 $ 378 $ 9,120 Three months ended: Beginning balance $ 1,220 $ 1,372 $ 390 $ 817 $ 3,188 $ 1,543 $ 224 $ 8,754 Charge-offs (62) (238) (221) (44) — (298) (11) (874) Recoveries — — 99 — 1 30 — 130 Provision for credit losses (30) 656 169 120 (390) 420 165 1,110 Ending balance $ 1,128 $ 1,790 $ 437 $ 893 $ 2,799 $ 1,695 $ 378 $ 9,120 Allowance allocated to: individually evaluated for impairment $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — collectively evaluated for impairment $ 1,128 $ 1,790 $ 437 $ 893 $ 2,799 $ 1,695 $ 378 $ 9,120 Loans and leases: Ending balance $ 115,753 $ 411,213 $ 80,303 $ 232,771 $ 442,449 $ 367,856 $ 50,675 $ 1,701,020 individually evaluated for impairment $ 933 $ 12,530 $ 914 $ 225 $ 2,608 $ 1,862 $ 287 $ 19,359 collectively evaluated for impairment $ 114,820 $ 398,683 $ 79,389 $ 232,546 $ 439,841 $ 365,994 $ 50,388 $ 1,681,661 At 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 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. Loans that are considered impaired are subject to the completion of an impairment analysis. This analysis highlights any potential collateral deficiencies. A specific amount of impairment is established based on the Bank’s calculation of the probable loss inherent in the individual loan. 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 either in non-accrual status or in excess of 90 days delinquent totaled $17.6 million or 0.93% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2020, which represents a decrease from $17.9 million, or 1.0%, at December 31, 2019. The Company had no impaired leases or PPP loans at June 30, 2020, June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2019.

Included in the total impaired loans above were non-accrual loans of $17.1 million and $17.8 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Interest income that would have been recorded if non-accrual loans had been current and in accordance with their original terms was $338 thousand and $534 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 or PPP loans at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The TDR loans at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows: June 30, 2020 Number Non-Accrual Number Accrual Total (dollars in thousands) of Loans Status of Loans Status TDRs Residential real estate - first lien 2 $ 261 2 $ 963 $ 1,224 Commercial loans and leases 1 414 2 363 777 3 $ 675 4 $ 1,326 $ 2,001 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 A summary of TDR modifications outstanding and performing under modified terms is as follows: June 30, 2020 Not Performing Performing Related to Modified to Modified Total (in thousands) Allowance Terms Terms TDRs Residential real estate - first lien Extension or other modification $ — $ 261 $ 963 $ 1,224 Commercial loans Extension or other modification — — 363 363 Forbearance — 414 — 414 Total troubled debt restructured loans $ — $ 675 $ 1,326 $ 2,001 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 The CARES Act permits financial institutions to suspend requirements under GAAP for certain loan modifications to borrowers affected by COVID-19 that would otherwise be characterized as TDRs. In addition, federal banking regulators issued, shortly before the CARES Act was enacted, an interagency statement that included guidance on their approach for the accounting of loan modifications in light of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The guidance interprets current accounting standards and indicates that a lender can conclude that a borrower is not experiencing financial difficulty if short-term modifications are made in response to COVID-19, such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant related to the loans in which the borrower is less than 30 days past due on its contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. The agencies confirmed in working with the staff of 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 TDRs. The Company provided COVID-19 related loan modifications to both commercial and retail customers, on a case by case basis, in the form of payment deferrals for periods up to six months. As of June 30, 2020, a total of $291.4 million of loans (or 17.1% of total loans and leases) were performing under some form of deferral or other payment relief. This compares to $347.0 million (19.7% of total loans and leases) that the Company disclosed as of May 8, 2020. As of August 6, 2020, $159.0 million of loans (or 8.4% of total loans and leases) were performing under some form of deferral or other payment relief. There were no new TDRs during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019. Performing TDRs were in compliance with their modified terms and there are no further commitments associated with these loans. During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 there were no TDRs that subsequently defaulted within twelve months of their modification dates. Management routinely evaluates other real estate owned (“OREO”) based upon periodic appraisals. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 the Bank recorded a $257 thousand valuation allowance on three unimproved parcels of land because the current appraised value (based on a new appraisal), less estimated costs to sell, was lower than the recorded carrying value of the OREO. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 there was one residential first mortgage loan totaling $51 thousand transferred from loans to OREO. The Company sold several parcels of land and one commercial real estate property held as OREO during the six months ended June 30, 2020, reducing OREO by $405 thousand and resulting in a loss of $28 thousand. For the six month period ending June 30, 2019, there was one residential first mortgage loan totaling $375 thousand transferred from loans to OREO, a valuation allowance of $65 thousand was recorded, and no OREO properties were sold. At June 30, 2020 there was one loan secured by a residential first lien of $2.3 million and one commercial real estate loan of $42 thousand in the process of foreclosure. |
