The following tables represent all of the Corporation's commercial credit exposures by internally assigned grades as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations under the loan agreements as scheduled. The Corporation's internal commercial credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans. The Corporation's internally assigned grades for commercial credits are as follows: • Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral. • Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected. • Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. • Doubtful – loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset. In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances. • Loss – loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.

A TDR is a loan where management has granted a concession to the borrower from the original terms. A concession is generally defined as more favorable payment or credit terms granted to a borrower in an effort to improve the likelihood of the lender collecting principal in its entirety. Concessions usually are in the form of interest only for a period of time, or a lower interest rate offered in an effort to enable the borrower to continue to make normally scheduled payments.

June 30, 2015 4,159 1,064 1,390 75 561 7,249 During the six months ended June 30, 2015, provision expense was recorded for the commercial real estate segment with minimal provisions or credit provisions recorded in all other loan categories. There were $272,000 of commercial real estate loan charge-offs during the first quarter of 2015, which increased the historical loss rates and ultimately resulted in a higher required reserve amount for the commercial real estate category. Qualitative factors have been shifting, with more factors declining than increasing. The consumer real estate area had declines in five of nine qualitative factors resulting in a lower required provision. To a lesser degree, the historic loss experience on commercial and industrial loans has been very favorable with more recoveries than charge-offs and two qualitative factors were reduced, resulting in a lower required provision. The consumer loan area saw three qualitative factors reduced with one increased, resulting in a lower required provision on a much smaller loan amount. The higher commercial real estate loan charge-offs and loan growth during the first quarter of 2015 overshadowed the reduction in provisions in the other areas, resulting in a higher total provision required through June 30, 2015.
