additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with impaired loans. There were no new troubled debt restructurings recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. There were no TDRs that defaulted, generally considered 90 days past due or longer, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and for which default was within one year of the restructure date. TDRs did not have a material impact on the allowance for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Credit Quality Information The Company utilizes an eleven-grade internal loan rating system for commercial real estate, construction and commercial loans. Loans rated 1‑4: Loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk. Loans rated 5: 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 6: 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 7: 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 8: Loans in this category are considered uncollectible “loss” and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted. Loans rated 9: Loans in this category only include commercial loans under $25 thousand with no other outstandings or relationships with the Company. Loans rated 10: Loans in this category include loans which otherwise require rating but which have not been rated, or loans for which the Company’s loan policy does not require rating. Loans rated 11: Loans in this category include credit commitments/relationships that cannot be rated due to a lack of financial information or inaccurate financial information. If within 60 days of the assignment of an 11 rating, information is still not available to allow a standard rating, the credit will be rated 6. On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial real estate, construction and commercial loans. During each calendar year, the Company engages an independent third party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process. On a monthly basis, the Company reviews the residential real estate and consumer loan portfolio for credit quality primarily through the use of delinquency reports.
