There was one construction loan totaling $4.5 million that defaulted and had been modified as a TDR during the twelve month period preceding the default date as of March 31, 2017. There were no loans that defaulted and had been modified as a TDR during the twelve month period preceding the default date as of March 31, 2016. Credit Quality Information At the time of loan origination, a risk rating based on a nine point grading system is assigned to each commercial-related loan based on the loan officer’s and management’s assessment of the risk associated with each particular loan. This risk assessment is based on an in depth analysis of a variety of factors. More complex loans and larger commitments require the Company’s internal credit risk management department further evaluate the risk rating of the individual loan or relationship, with credit risk management having final determination of the appropriate risk rating. These more complex loans and relationships receive ongoing periodic review to assess the appropriate risk rating on a post-closing basis with changes made to the risk rating as the borrower’s and economic conditions warrant. The Company’s risk rating system is designed to be a dynamic system and we grade loans on a “real time” basis. The Company places considerable emphasis on risk rating accuracy, risk rating justification, and risk rating triggers. The Company’s risk rating process has been enhanced with its implementation of industry-based risk rating “cards.” The cards are used by the loan officers and promote risk rating accuracy and consistency on an institution-wide basis. Most loans are reviewed annually as part of a comprehensive portfolio review conducted by management and/or by an independent loan review firm. More frequent reviews of loans rated low pass, special mention, substandard and doubtful are conducted by the credit risk management department. The Company utilizes an independent loan review consulting firm to review its rating accuracy and the overall credit quality of its loan portfolio. The review is designed to provide an evaluation of the portfolio with respect to risk rating profile as well as with regard to the soundness of individual loan files. The individual loan reviews include an analysis of the creditworthiness of obligors, via appropriate key ratios and cash flow analysis and an assessment of collateral protection. The consulting firm conducts two loan reviews per year aiming at a 65.0% or higher commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate portfolio penetration. Summary findings of all loan reviews performed by the outside consulting firm are reported to the board of directors and senior management of the Company upon completion. The Company utilizes a point risk rating scale as follows: Risk Rating Definitions Residential and consumer loans are not rated unless they are 45 days or more delinquent, in which case, depending on past-due days, they will be rated 6, 7 or 8. Loans rated 1 – 5, 55: Commercial loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk. Loans rated 6: Residential, Consumer and Commercial loans in this category are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management. Loans rated 7: Loans in this category are considered “substandard.” Generally, a loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged. There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected. Loans rated 8: Loans in this category are considered “doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable. Loans rated 9: Loans in this category are considered uncollectible (“loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.

Delinquency notices are mailed monthly to all delinquent borrowers, advising them of the amount of their delinquency. Residential and consumer lending borrowers are typically given 30 days to pay the delinquent payments or to contact us to make arrangements to bring the loan current over a longer period of time. Generally, if a residential or consumer lending borrower fails to bring the loan current within 90 days from the original due date or to make arrangements to cure the delinquency over a longer period of time, the matter is referred to legal counsel and foreclosure or other collection proceedings are initiated. The Company may consider forbearance or a loan restructuring in certain circumstances where a temporary loss of income is the primary cause of the delinquency, and if a reasonable plan is presented by the borrower to cure the delinquency in a reasonable period of time after his or her income resumes. Problem or delinquent borrowers in our commercial real estate and commercial business portfolios are handled on a case-by-case basis, typically by our Special Assets Department. Appropriate problem-resolution and workout strategies are formulated based on the specific facts and circumstances. |
