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, 2018 and 2017. 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.

During 2017, there was one loan modification made causing a loan to be considered a TDR. A TDR is a loan where management has granted a concession to a borrower that is experiencing financial difficulty. 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. The loan classified as a TDR during 2017 was an agricultural loan with a principal balance at December 31, 2017, of $245,000. The concession granted to the borrower was an interest-only period initially running for three months to March 31, 2017. However, in April 2017, that deferral period was extended for an additional three months, causing management to classify the loan as a TDR. The concession period ended June 30, 2017. Subsequent to June 30, 2017, the borrower resumed normal principal and interest payments as of July 2017. The loan was later paid off in July of 2018 when the balance was down to $209,000.

Loan growth and higher charge-off amounts resulted in higher allowance balances. The higher charge-offs in 2018 increased the historical loss adjustments in the commercial real estate and consumer real estate pools causing the associated allowance to increase in those areas. The decline in allowance allocated to the commercial and industrial segment was due to a change in the allowance calculation that occurred in early 2018. Prior to 2018, the business loan pool, included in commercial and industrial, had a large special adjustment factor for potential impairment. The loss rate for this pool also declined from December 31, 2017, to December 31, 2018. The Corporation’s allowance allocation is still overweighted toward commercial real estate loans due to the higher historical losses experienced. Approximately 50% of the allowance is dedicated to this sector that comprises 41% of total loan balances. This compares to 28% of the allowance being allocated to the consumer real estate sector which comprises 42% of all loan balances. Losses on consumer real estate has traditionally been lower than commercial loans. The commercial and industrial sector has 17% of the allowance allocated and comprises a similar 15% of loan balances. Commercial and industrial historical losses have generally been lower than commercial real estate but higher than consumer real estate, based on loan balances outstanding. The December 31, 2018 ending balance of the allowance was up $426,000, or 5.2%, from December 31, 2017, and the allowance as a percentage of total loans was down from 1.38% as of December 31, 2017, to 1.25% as of December 31, 2018. The following table details activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the year ended December 31, 2017: 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 3,795 1,652 1,552 82 481 7,562 Charge-offs (200 ) — (89 ) (28 ) — (317 ) Recoveries — 20 24 11 — 55 Provision (credit) 268 380 342 33 (83 ) 940 Ending balance 3,863 2,052 1,829 98 398 8,240 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment — — — — — — Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment 3,863 2,052 1,829 98 398 8,240 Loans receivable: Ending balance 260,792 249,256 80,942 5,320 596,310 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment 1,567 — 245 — 1,812 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment 259,225 249,256 80,697 5,320 594,498 The dollar amount of the allowance increased for all loan segments from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017. Loan growth and higher charge-off amounts resulted in higher allowance balances but delinquencies, non-performing loans, and classified loans were all down from prior years’ levels. The higher charge-offs in 2017 increased the historical loss adjustments in the commercial real estate and commercial and industrial pools causing the associated allowance to increase in those areas. The primary reason for the increase in allowance in the consumer real estate segment was due to a significant 16.6% increase in loan balances as well as increases in some qualititative factors related to this segment. The December 31, 2017 ending balance of the allowance was up $678,000, or 9.0%, from December 31, 2016, and the allowance as a percentage of total loans was up from 1.32% as of December 31, 2016, to 1.38% as of December 31, 2017. |
