LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES | NOTE C - LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The following table presents the Corporation’s loan portfolio by category of loans for 2016 and 2015.

The Corporation grades commercial credits differently than consumer credits. The following tables represent all of the Corporation’s commercial credit exposures by internally assigned grades as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. The grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations under the loan agreements as scheduled or at all. 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 consumer loan is considered non-performing when it is over 90 days past due. Management will generally charge off consumer loans more than 120 days past due for closed end loans and over 180 days for open-end consumer loans.

Interest income on loans would have increased by approximately $23,000, ,000 The following table presents non-accrual loans by classes of the loan portfolio as of December 31: NON-ACCRUAL LOANS BY LOAN CLASS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 2016 2015 $ $ Commercial real estate Commercial mortgages 646 380 Agriculture mortgages — — Construction — — Consumer real estate 1-4 family residential mortgages — — Home equity loans — — Home equity lines of credit — — Commercial and industrial Commercial and industrial 75 — Tax-free loans — — Agriculture loans — — Consumer — — Total 721 380 During 2016, 2015, and 2014 there were no loan modifications made that would cause a loan to be considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). A TDR is a loan where management has granted a concession to the borrower from the original terms. A concession is generally granted in order to improve the financial condition of the borrower and improve the likelihood of full collection by the lender. 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.

Loan growth resulted in higher allowance balances but delinquencies, non-performing loans, and classified loans were all down from prior years’ levels so the Corporation is not carrying as large of an allowance as a percentage of total loans. The amout of allowance allocated to commercial real estate remained at nearly the same level as the prior year. While commercial real estate loans increased $14.2 million, or 5.4% from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016, the allowance remained at the same level due to improvements in the qualititative factors . The growth rate of agricultural real estate lending slowed significantly and commercial real estate outside of agricultural real estate showed a slight decline. While commercial real estate construction accounted for the majority of the commercial real estate growth, the health of the Corporation’s developers had improved from 2015 to 2016 not requiring any additional reserves. The December 31, 2016 ending balance of the allowance was up $484,000, or 6.8%, from December 31, 2015, but the allowance as a percentage of total loans declined from 1.36% as of December 31, 2015, to 1.32% as of December 31, 2016. The Corporation recorded provision expense for the consumer real estate segment to compensate for 7% growth in the residential mortgage portfolio and 32% growth in home equity loans. A smaller provision was recorded for commercial and industrial loans to account for 1% growth coupled with a five basis point increase in the qualitative factor adjustment for that pool. Provision expense of $41,000 was booked against the consumer loan segment in response to $31,000 of charge-offs and a 16.6% increase in unsecured consumer loan balances. The following table details activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the year ended December 31, 2015: ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES AND RECORDED INVESTMENT IN LOANS RECEIVABLE (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Commercial Commercial Consumer and Real Estate Real Estate Industrial Consumer Unallocated Total $ $ $ $ $ $ Allowance for credit losses: Beginning balance 3,834 1,367 1,301 66 573 7,141 Charge-offs (272 ) (28 ) (44 ) (18 ) — (362 ) Recoveries 34 — 112 3 — 149 Provision (credit) 235 64 (55 ) 11 (105 ) 150 Ending balance 3,831 1,403 1,314 62 468 7,078 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment — — — — — — Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment 3,831 1,403 1,314 62 468 7,078 Loans receivable: Ending balance 260,900 181,200 73,577 3,892 519,569 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment 1,705 — — — 1,705 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment 259,195 181,200 73,577 3,892 517,864 The dollar amount of the allowance for all major loan segments did not change materially from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015, however the allowance as a percentage of loan balances did decline for all segments. Delinquencies, non-performing loans, and classified loans were all down from prior years’ levels so the Corporation was not carrying as large of an allowance as a percentage of total loans. The December 31, 2015 ending balance of the allowance was down $63,000, or 0.9%, from December 31, 2014. The Corporation recorded provision expense for the commercial real estate segment to compensate for increased charge-off activity in that segment. Provision expense was also recorded for the consumer real estate and consumer segments of the portfolio, but at smaller levels primarily due to limited charge-offs and growth within those portfolios. The Corporation was able to record a credit provision for the commercial and industrial segment due to continued improvements in credit loss experience and additional recoveries received. Commercial and industrial charge-offs in 2015 were only $44,000, while recoveries totaled $112,000. This enabled management to record a $55,000 credit provision for this segment. The following table details activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the year ended December 31, 2014: ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES AND RECORDED INVESTMENT IN LOANS RECEIVABLE (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Commercial Commercial Consumer and Real Estate Real Estate Industrial Consumer Unallocated Total $ $ $ $ $ $ Allowance for credit losses: Beginning balance 3,657 1,346 1,416 102 698 7,219 Charge-offs (204 ) — (12 ) (19 ) — (235 ) Recoveries — 5 201 1 — 207 Provision (credit) 381 16 (304 ) (18 ) (125 ) (50 ) Ending balance 3,834 1,367 1,301 66 573 7,141 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment 1 — — — — 1 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment 3,833 1,367 1,301 66 573 7,140 Loans receivable: Ending balance 243,623 163,266 60,300 3,517 470,706 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment 2,285 — 73 — 2,358 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment 241,338 163,266 60,227 3,517 468,348 In 2014, the Corporation allocated increased provisions to the commercial real estate segment due to increased charge-off activity in that segment. The Corporation decreased the amount of the allowance for loan loss allocated to the commercial and industrial segment due to continued improvements in credit loss experience and additional recoveries received. Actual credit losses were materially below previous estimates. Commercial and industrial charge-offs in 2014 were only a third of the 2013 amount while recoveries nearly tripled. This enabled management to decrease this element of the allowance. Delinquencies and credit losses remain very low in the three categories of commercial and industrial. This segment also includes tax-free loans to municipalities and agricultural purpose loans, which account for nearly half of the total commercial and industrial loans. |
