Allowance for Credit Losses [Text Block] | Note 4 . Credit Quality of Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses Company policies, consistent with regulatory guidelines, provide for the classification of loans that are considered to be of lesser quality as substandard, doubtful, or loss. A loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans include those loans characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans (or portions of loans) classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. Loans that do not expose us to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve our close attention, are required to be designated as special mention. The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses at an amount estimated to equal all credit losses incurred in our loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonable at the balance sheet date. Our determination as to the classification of our assets is subject to review by the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation and the FDIC. We regularly review our asset portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. The Company provides for loan losses based upon the consistent application of our documented allowance for loan loss methodology. All loan losses are charged to the allowance for loan losses and all recoveries are credited to it. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are provided by charges to income based on various factors which, in our judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating probable losses. We regularly review the loan portfolio and make provisions for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses in accordance with GAAP. The allowance for loan losses consists primarily of two components: 1) specific allowances are established for loans classified as substandard or doubtful. For loans classified as impaired, the allowance is established when the net realizable value (collateral value less costs to sell) of the loan is lower than the carrying amount of the loan. The amount of impairment provided for as a specific allowance is represented by the deficiency, if any, between the underlying collateral value and the carrying value of the loan. Impaired loans for which the estimated fair value of the loan or the fair value of the underlying collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent, exceeds the carrying value of the loan are not considered in establishing specific allowances for loan losses; and 2) general allowances are established for loan losses on a portfolio basis for loans that do not meet the definition of impaired loans. The portfolio is grouped into similar risk characteristics, primarily loan type and regulatory classification. We apply an estimated loss rate to each loan group. The loss rates applied are based upon our loss experience adjusted, as appropriate, for the qualitative factors discussed below. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revisions based upon changes in economic and real estate market conditions. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level to provide for losses that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management ’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent losses in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans. The adjustments to historical loss experience are based on our evaluation of several qualitative factors, including: ● changes in the types of loans in the loan portfolio and the size of the overall portfolio; ● changes in the levels of concentration of credit; ● changes in the number and amount of non-accrual loans, classified loans, past due loans and t roubled debt restructurings and other loan modifications; ● changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending personnel; ● changes in the quality of the loan review system and the degree of Board oversight; ● changes in lending policies and procedures ; ● changes in national, state and local economic trends and business conditions; and ● changes in external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory oversight . A loan is considered past due or delinquent when a contractual payment is not paid on the day it is due. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for all loans secured by real estate by the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The Bank ’s charge-off policy states after all collection efforts have been exhausted, the loan is deemed to be a loss and the loss amount has been determined, the loss amount will be charged to the established allowance for loan losses. Loans secured by real estate, either residential or commercial, are evaluated for loss potential at the 60 day past due threshold. At no later than 90 days past due the loan is placed on nonaccrual status and a specific reserve is established if the net realizable value in less than the principal value of the loan balance(s). Once the actual loss value has been determined, a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses for the amount of the loss is taken. Each loss is evaluated on its specific facts regarding the appropriate timing to recognize the loss. Unsecured loans are charged-off to the allowance for loan losses at the 90 day past due threshold or when an actual loss has been determined whichever is earlier. We evaluate the allowance for loan losses based upon the combined total of the specific and general components. Generally when the loan portfolio increases, absent other factors, the allowance for loan loss methodology results in a higher dollar amount of estimated probable losses than would be the case without the increase. Generally when the loan portfolio decreases, absent other factors, the allowance for loan loss methodology results in a lower dollar amount of estimated probable losses than would be the case without the decrease. Commercial real estate loans generally have great er credit risks compared to one- to four-family residential mortgage loans we originate, as they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment experience on loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the related business and thus may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the general economy. Therefore, we expect that the percentage of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the loan portfolio will increase going forward as we continue our focus on the origination of commercial real estate loans. The following tables summarize the activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

The first six categories are considered not criticized and are aggregated as a “Pass” rating. ● Pass (risk ratings 1-6) ● Special M ention (risk rating 7) ● Substandard (risk rating 8) ● Doubtful (risk rating 9) ● Loss (risk rating 10) Loans classified special mention, substandard , doubtful or loss are reviewed at least quarterly to determine their appropriate classification. Non-classified commercial loan relationships greater than $50,000 are reviewed annually. Non-classified residential mortgage loans and consumer loans are not evaluated unless a specific event occurs to raise the awareness of possible credit deterioration.

Total impaired loans $ 211,640 $ 108,188 Troubled debt restructurings . Loans may be periodically modified in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) to make concessions to help a borrower remain current on the loan and/or to avoid foreclosure. Generally we do not forgive principal or interest on a loan or modify the interest rate to below market rates. When we modify loans in a TDR, we evaluate any possible impairment similar to any other impaired loans. If we determine that the value of the restructured loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized through a specific allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance. If a restructured loan was nonperforming prior to the restructuring, the restructured loan will remain a nonperforming loan. After a period of six months and if the restructured loan is in compliance with its modified terms, the loan will become a performing loan. If a restructured loan was performing prior to the restructuring, the restructured loan will remain a performing loan. A performing TDR will no longer be reported as a TDR in calendar years after the year of the restructuring if the effective interest rate is equal or greater than the market rate for credits with comparable risk. There were no TDRs modified during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 or the year ended December 31, 2015. Residential Foreclosures and Repossessed Assets — Once all potential alternatives for reinstatement are exhausted, past due loans collateralized by residential real estate are referred for foreclosure proceedings in accordance with the requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. Once the Bank obtains possession of the property collateralizing the loan, the Company records the repossessed property within other assets as other real estate owned. At September 30, 2016, there were no residential loans in the process of foreclosure and residential foreclosures classified as other real estate owned totaled $146,410. |
