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, 2020 and 2019. 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.

One $3.6 million loan was restructured to provide relief to the commercial borrower by reducing the interest rate, providing a six-month interest only period, and extending the amortization period by an additional nine years. In addition to this TDR, deferments of principal related to the impact of COVID-19 did occur beginning in late March 2020, however these modifications are not considered a TDR under the revised COVID-19 regulatory guidance. There was one loan modification that occurred during the first quarter of 2019, constituting a TDR. A modification of the payment terms to a loan customer are considered a TDR if a concession was made 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. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, included within the allowance for credit losses are reserves of $1,131,000 and $60,000, respectively, that are associated with loans modified as a TDR. There were no TDRs that have subsequently defaulted within one year of modification as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. 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. The principal and interest payment due date was reset to November 15, 2019, when it was paid. No other loans were modified during 2019 or 2020.

The higher provision in the commercial real estate sector was due to a specific allocation of $1.1 million for a customer with ongoing business concerns. The higher provisions across the other categories were primarily caused by increasing the qualitative factors across all industry lines to various degrees as a result of the impact and effect from COVID-19 and the declining economic conditions. There were minimal charge-offs and recoveries recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020, so the provision expense was primarily related to the specific allocation as well as the change in economic conditions and potential for credit declines moving forward. The Corporation’s allowance allocation is still overweighted toward commercial real estate loans due to the higher historical losses experienced. Approximately 51% of the allowance is dedicated to this sector that comprises 42% 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 have traditionally been lower than commercial loans. The commercial and industrial sector has 16% of the allowance allocated and comprises 16% 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, 2020 ending balance of the allowance was up $2,880,000, or 30.5%, from December 31, 2019, and the allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.50% as of December 31, 2020, and 1.25% as of December 31, 2019. The following table details activity in the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment for the year ended December 31, 2019: 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 4,296 2,408 1,428 103 431 8,666 Charge-offs (122 ) — (63 ) (26 ) — (211 ) Recoveries 170 1 48 3 — 222 Provision (credit) (25 ) 446 371 (39 ) 17 770 Ending balance 4,319 2,855 1,784 41 448 9,447 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment 109 — 80 — — 189 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment 4,210 2,855 1,704 41 448 9,258 Loans receivable: Ending balance 311,788 339,255 95,211 5,416 751,670 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment 3,446 — 538 — 3,984 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment 308,342 339,255 94,673 5,416 747,686 The dollar amount of the allowance increased for all loan segments except consumer from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019. 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. |
