The Company, at times, purchases individual loans at fair value as of the acquisition date. Purchased loans with remaining balances totaled $40,225,000 and $45,368,000 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The Company has purchased participation loans with remaining balances totaling $43,086,000 and $36,561,000 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The following is a summary of the Company’s loan portfolio segments: Commercial and industrial loans - Commercial and industrial loans are secured by business assets including inventory, receivables and machinery and equipment of businesses located generally in our primary market area. Loan types include revolving lines of credit, term loans, and loans secured by liquid collateral such as cash deposits or marketable securities. We also issue letters of credit on behalf of our customers. Risk arises primarily due to the difference between expected and actual cash flows of the borrowers. In addition, the recoverability of the Company’s investment in these loans is also dependent on other factors primarily dictated by the type of collateral securing these loans. The fair value of the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate as market conditions change. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the recovery of the Company’s investment is dependent upon the borrower’s ability to collect amounts due from its customers. Construction, land and land development loans - We originate loans for the construction of 1-4 family, multifamily, and Commercial Real Estate (CRE) properties in our market area. Construction loans are considered to have higher risks due to construction completion and timing risk, the ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, government regulation of real property and the availability of long-term financing. Additionally, economic conditions may impact the Company’s ability to recover its investment in construction loans, as adverse economic conditions may negatively impact the real estate market, which could affect the borrower’s ability to complete and sell the project. Additionally, the fair value of the underlying collateral may fluctuate as market conditions change. We occasionally originate land loans for the purpose of facilitating the ultimate construction of a home or commercial building. The primary risks include the borrower’s ability to pay and the inability of the Company to recover its investment due to a material decline in the fair value of the underlying collateral. Residential real estate loans - Residential real estate loans include various types of loans for which the Company holds real property as collateral. Included in this segment are multi-family loans, first lien single family loans, which we occasionally purchase to diversify our loan portfolio, and rental portfolios secured by one-to-four family homes. The primary risks of residential real estate loans include the borrower’s inability to pay, material decreases in the value of the collateral, and significant increases in interest rates which may make the loan unprofitable. Commercial real estate (includes owner occupied and nonowner occupied) loans - Commercial real estate loans include various types of loans for which the Company holds real property as collateral. The primary risks of commercial real estate loans include the borrower’s inability to pay, material decreases in the value of the collateralized real estate and significant increases in interest rates, which may make the real estate loan unprofitable. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. Consumer and other loans - We originate a limited number of consumer loans, generally for banking customers only, which consist primarily of home equity lines of credit, saving account secured loans, and auto loans. This loan category also includes overdrafts. Repayment of these loans is dependent on the borrower’s ability to pay and the fair value of the underlying collateral. The following table illustrates an age analysis of past due loans as of the dates indicated: 30-89 Days Past Due 90 Days or More Past Due Total Past Due Current Total Loans Recorded Investment 90 Days or More Past Due and Still Accruing (dollars in thousands) June 30, 2019 Commercial and industrial loans $ 2 $ 1,310 $ 1,312 $ 99,798 $ 101,110 $ - Real estate loans: Construction, land and land development - - - 84,666 84,666 - Residential real estate - 69 69 100,377 100,446 - Commercial real estate 969 - 969 556,723 557,692 - Consumer and other loans 22 - 22 2,871 2,893 - $ 993 $ 1,379 $ 2,372 $ 844,435 $ 846,807 $ - Less net deferred origination fees (1,364 ) Loans receivable $ 845,443 30-89 Days Past Due 90 Days or More Past Due Total Past Due Current Total Loans Recorded Investment 90 Days or More Past Due and Still Accruing (dollars in thousands) December 31, 2018 Commercial and industrial loans $ 171 $ 494 $ 665 $ 89,725 $ 90,390 $ - Real estate loans: Construction, land and land development 823 - 823 63,222 64,045 - Residential real estate - 72 72 94,673 94,745 - Commercial real estate - - - 515,959 515,959 - Consumer and other loans 2 - 2 3,582 3,584 - $ 996 $ 566 $ 1,562 $ 767,161 768,723 $ - Less net deferred origination fees (824 ) Loans receivable $ 767,899 A summary of information pertaining to impaired loans as of the period indicated: Unpaid Contractual Principal Balance Recorded Investment With No Allowance Recorded Investment With Allowance Total Recorded Investment Related Allowance (dollars in thousands) June 30, 2019 Commercial and industrial loans $ 1,699 $ 483 $ 1,095 $ 1,579 $ 229 Real estate loans: Residential real estate 73 69 - 69 - Total $ 1,772 $ 552 $ 1,095 $ 1,648 $ 229 December 31, 2018 Commercial and industrial loans $ 766 $ 493 $ - $ 493 $ - Real estate loans: Residential real estate 74 72 - 72 - Commercial real estate 1,491 1,261 - 1,261 - Total $ 2,331 $ 1,826 $ - $ 1,826 $ - The following tables summarize our average recorded investment and interest income recognized on impaired loans by loan class for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018: Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 June 30, 2018 Average Recorded Investment Interest Income Recognized Average Recorded Investment Interest Income Recognized (dollars in thousands) Commercial and industrial loans $ 890 $ - $ 976 $ 10 Real estate loans: Residential real estate 71 - 416 - Commercial real estate - - 1,297 - Total $ 961 $ - $ 2,689 $ 10 Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 June 30, 2018 Average Recorded Investment Interest Income Recognized Average Recorded Investment Interest Income Recognized (dollars in thousands) Commercial and industrial loans $ 718 $ - $ 1,195 $ 25 Real estate loans: Residential real estate 72 - 307 5 Commercial real estate - - 1,303 - Total $ 790 $ - $ 2,805 $ 30 The Company grants restructurings in response to borrower financial difficulty, and generally provides for a temporary modification of loan repayment terms. The restructured loans on accrual status represent the only impaired loans accruing interest. In order for a restructured loan to be considered for accrual status, the loan’s collateral coverage generally will be greater than or equal to 100% of the loan balance, the loan is current on payments, and the borrower must either prefund an interest reserve or demonstrate the ability to make payments from a verified source of cash flow for an extended period of time, usually at least six months in duration. The following table presents troubled debt restructurings by accrual versus nonaccrual status and by loan class as of December 31, 2018. The troubled debt restructuring outstanding as of December 31, 2018 was paid off in the first quarter of 2019, therefore there were no troubled debt restructurings as of June 30, 2019. Accrual Status Nonaccrual Status Total Restructured Loans (dollars in thousands) December 31, 2018 Commercial real estate $ - $ 1,261 $ 1,261 No loans were restructured in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 that qualified as troubled debt restructurings. The Company has no commitments to loan additional funds to borrowers whose loans were classified as troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2019, as there were no outstanding troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2019. When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, all accrued interest is reversed from current period earnings. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are generally applied as a reduction to the loan principal balance. If the likelihood of further loss is removed, the Company will recognize interest on a cash basis only. Loans may be returned to accruing status if the Company believes that all remaining principal and interest is fully collectible and there has been at least six months of sustained repayment performance since the loan was placed on nonaccrual. An analysis of nonaccrual loans by category consisted of the following at the periods indicated: June 30, December 31, 2019 2018 (dollars in thousands) Commercial and industrial loans $ 1,579 $ 493 Real estate loans: Residential real estate 69 72 Commercial real estate - 1,261 Total nonaccrual loans $ 1,648 $ 1,826 Credit Quality and Credit Risk Federal regulations require that the Company periodically evaluate the risks inherent in its loan portfolio. In addition, the Company’s regulatory agencies have authority to identify problem loans and, if appropriate, require them to be reclassified. There are three classifications for problem loans: Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss. Substandard loans have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful loans have the weaknesses of loans classified as Substandard, with additional characteristics that suggest the weaknesses make collection or recovery in full after liquidation of collateral questionable on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values. There is a high possibility of loss in loans classified as Doubtful. A loan classified as Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continued classification of the credit as a loan is not warranted. If a loan or a portion thereof is classified as Loss, it must be charged-off, meaning the amount of the loss is charged against the allowance for loan losses, thereby reducing that reserve. The Company also classifies some loans as Watch or Other Loans Especially Mentioned (OLEM). Loans classified as Watch are performing assets and classified as pass credits but have elements of risk that require more monitoring than other performing loans and are reported in the Pass column in the following table. Loans classified as OLEM are assets that continue to perform but have shown deterioration in credit quality and require close monitoring. Loans by credit quality risk rating are as follows as of the periods indicated: Pass Other Loans Especially Mentioned Sub- Standard Doubtful Total (dollars in thousands) June 30, 2019 Commercial and industrial loans $ 95,191 $ 329 $ 5,590 $ - $ 101,110 Real estate loans: Construction, land, and land development 84,666 - - - 84,666 Residential real estate 99,958 419 69 - 100,446 Commercial real estate 555,176 2,516 - - 557,692 Consumer and other loans 2,893 - - - 2,893 $ 837,884 $ 3,264 $ 5,659 $ - 846,807 Less net deferred origination fees (1,364 ) Loans receivable $ 845,443 December 31, 2018 Commercial and industrial loans $ 84,859 $ 3,908 $ 1,623 $ - $ 90,390 Real estate loans: Construction, land, and land development 55,666 8,379 - - 64,045 Residential real estate 94,548 125 72 - 94,745 Commercial real estate 512,151 2,547 1,261 - 515,959 Consumer and other loans 3,584 - - 3,584 $ 750,808 $ 14,959 $ 2,956 $ - 768,723 Less net deferred origination fees (824 ) Loans receivable $ 767,899 Allowance for Loan Losses The Company’s allowance for loan losses (ALLL) covers estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans that are determined to be impaired as well as estimated probable losses inherent in the remainder of the loan portfolio. The ALLL is prepared using the information provided by the Company’s credit review process together with data from peer institutions and economic information gathered from published sources. The loan portfolio is segmented into groups of loans with similar risk profiles. Each segment possesses varying degrees of risk based on the type of loan, the type of collateral, and the sensitivity of the borrower or industry to changes in external factors such as economic conditions. An estimated loss rate calculated the Company’s actual historical loss rates adjusted for current portfolio trends, economic conditions, and other relevant internal and external factors, is applied to each group’s aggregate loan balances. The following tables summarize the allocation of the ALLL, as well as the activity in the ALLL attributed to various segments in the loan portfolio, as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019: Commercial and Industrial Construction, Land, and Land Development Residential Real Estate Commercial Real Estate Consumer and Other Unallocated Total (dollars in thousands) Three months ended June 30, 2019 Balance, March 31, 2019 $ 2,069 $ 1,852 $ 1,623 $ 2,750 $ 79 $ 1,542 $ 9,915 Provision for loan losses or (recapture) 419 534 191 95 1 (693 ) 547 2,488 2,386 1,814 2,845 80 849 10,462 Loans charged-off (7 ) - - - (15 ) - (22 ) Recoveries of loans previously charged-off 1 - - - 2 - 3 Net (charge-offs) recoveries (6 ) - - - (13 ) - (19 ) Balance, June 30, 2019 $ 2,482 $ 2,386 $ 1,814 $ 2,845 $ 67 $ 849 $ 10,443 Six months ended June 30, 2019 Balance, December 31, 2018 $ 2,039 $ 1,806 $ 1,647 $ 2,648 $ 77 $ 1,190 $ 9,407 Provision for loan losses or (recapture) 448 580 167 226 7 (341 ) 1,087 2,487 2,386 1,814 2,874 84 849 10,494 Loans charged-off (7 ) - - (29 ) (20 ) - (56 ) Recoveries of loans previously charged-off 2 - - - 3 - 5 Net (charge-offs) recoveries (5 ) - - (29 ) (17 ) - (51 ) Balance, June 30, 2019 $ 2,482 $ 2,386 $ 1,814 $ 2,845 $ 67 $ 849 $ 10,443 As of June 30, 2019 ALLL amounts allocated to Individually evaluated for impairment $ 229 $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 229 Collectively evaluated for impairment 2,253 2,386 1,814 2,845 67 849 10,214 ALLL balance, June 30, 2019 $ 2,482 $ 2,386 $ 1,814 $ 2,845 $ 67 $ 849 $ 10,443 Loans individually evaluated for impairment $ 1,579 $ - $ 69 $ - $ - $ 1,648 Loans collectively evaluated for impairment 99,531 84,666 100,377 557,692 2,893 845,159 Loan balance, June 30, 2019 $ 101,110 $ 84,666 $ 100,446 $ 557,692 $ 2,893 $ 846,807 The following tables summarize the allocation of the ALLL, as well as the activity in the ALLL attributed to various segments in the loan portfolio, as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018: Commercial and Industrial Construction, Land, and Land Development Residential Real Estate Commercial Real Estate Consumer and Other Unallocated Total (dollars in thousands) Three months ended June 30, 2018 Balance, March 31, 2018 $ 2,028 $ 1,133 $ 1,328 $ 2,088 $ 53 $ 1,793 $ 8,423 Provision for loan losses or (recapture) 64 105 67 215 3 (62 ) 392 2,092 1,238 1,395 2,303 56 1,731 8,815 Loans charged-off (272 ) - - - (9 ) - (281 ) Recoveries of loans previously charged-off 1 - - - 5 - 6 Net (charge-offs) recoveries (271 ) - - - (4 ) - (275 ) Balance, June 30, 2018 $ 1,821 $ 1,238 $ 1,395 $ 2,303 $ 52 $ 1,731 $ 8,540 Six months ended June 30, 2018 Balance, December 31, 2017 $ 1,864 $ 1,063 $ 1,343 $ 2,014 $ 43 $ 1,690 $ 8,017 Provision for loan losses or (recapture) 236 175 52 373 16 41 893 2,100 1,238 1,395 2,387 59 1,731 8,910 Loans charged-off (281 ) - - (84 ) (14 ) - (379 ) Recoveries of loans previously charged-off 2 - - - 7 - 9 Net (charge-offs) recoveries (279 ) - - (84 ) (7 ) - (370 ) Balance, June 30, 2018 $ 1,821 $ 1,238 $ 1,395 $ 2,303 $ 52 $ 1,731 $ 8,540 As of June 30, 2018 ALLL amounts allocated to Individually evaluated for impairment $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - Collectively evaluated for impairment 1,821 1,238 1,395 2,303 52 1,731 8,540 ALLL balance, June 30, 2018 $ 1,821 $ 1,238 $ 1,395 $ 2,303 $ 52 $ 1,731 $ 8,540 Loans individually evaluated for impairment $ 820 $ - $ 75 $ 1,290 $ - $ 2,185 Loans collectively evaluated for impairment 88,464 46,356 88,347 473,040 2,670 698,877 Loan balance, June 30, 2018 $ 89,284 $ 46,356 $ 88,422 $ 474,330 $ 2,670 $ 701,062 |
