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, 2019 and 2018. 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 $137,000 and $47,000 during 2019 and 2018, respectively, if these loans had performed in accordance with their original terms. 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) 2019 2018 $ $ Commercial real estate Commercial mortgages 228 1,017 Agriculture mortgages 1,070 816 Construction — — Consumer real estate 1-4 family residential mortgages 495 — Home equity loans 92 — Home equity lines of credit — — Commercial and industrial 538 Commercial and industrial — — Tax-free loans — — Agriculture loans — — Consumer — — Total 2,423 1,833 During 2019, there were two loan modifications made causing loans to be considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). During 2018, there was also 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. In the first quarter of 2019, a loan modification was made on a $439,000 business loan secured by 1-4 family residential property, which delayed the timing of principal payments. This loan is both non-accrual and TDR and is reflected as a non-accrual loan in the above table under 1-4 family residential mortgages. In the first quarter of 2019, a loan modification was made on a $718,000 agricultural mortgage, which moved the timing of the annual principal payment and changed interest payments from monthly to annually. The farmer had suffered a fire loss in late 2018 impacting one year’s harvest. No other loans were modified during 2019 that constituted a TDR. There was one loan modification, constituting a TDR, made in the first nine months of 2018. An agricultural mortgage loan was modified in the first quarter of 2018, where a concession on principal payment was made.

Loan growth was the direct cause of the higher allowance balances, with the levels of charge offs being relatively low in 2019 at $211,000, and more than offset by $222,000 of recoveries. A larger amount of recoveries than charge-offs in commercial loans allowed for a credit provision, whereas under commercial and industrial loans the charge offs as a percentage of loan balance were more pronounced. This increased the historical loss ratios, causing the allocation of additional provision expense of $371,000. The decline in allowance allocated to the consumer loans was due to smaller balances in this loan segment as a large consumer loan paid off in 2019. Impaired loans increased by $1,275,000 from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019, which did cause a $57,000 increase in the specific allocation of provision expense on these loans. The Corporation’s allowance allocation is still overweighted toward commercial real estate loans due to the higher historical losses experienced. Approximately 46% of the allowance is dedicated to this sector that comprises 41% of total loan balances. This compares to 30% of the allowance being allocated to the consumer real estate sector which comprises 45% of all loan balances. Losses on consumer real estate have traditionally been lower than commercial loans. The commercial and industrial sector has 19% of the allowance allocated and comprises 13% 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, 2019 ending balance of the allowance was up $781,000, or 9.0%, from December 31, 2018, and the allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.25% as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019. The following table details activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the year ended December 31, 2018: 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 3,863 2,052 1,829 98 398 8,240 Charge-offs (223 ) (20 ) (110 ) (27 ) — (380 ) Recoveries 72 — 66 8 — 146 Provision (credit) 584 376 (357 ) 24 33 660 Ending balance 4,296 2,408 1,428 103 431 8,666 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment 132 — — — — 132 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment 4,164 2,408 1,428 103 431 8,534 Loans receivable: Ending balance 285,437 293,721 104,122 9,197 692,477 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment 2,709 — — — 2,709 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment 282,728 293,721 104,122 9,197 689,768 The dollar amount of the allowance increased for all loan segments except commercial and industrial from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018. 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 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. |
