The Company has defined its loan portfolio into three segments that reflect the structure of the lending function, the Company’s strategic plan and the manner in which management monitors performance and credit quality. The three loan portfolio segments are: (a) Real Estate Loans, (b) Consumer Loans and (c) Commercial Business Loans. Each of these segments is disaggregated into classes based on the risk characteristics of the borrower and/or the collateral type securing the loan. The following is a summary of each of the Company’s loan portfolio segments and classes: Real Estate Loans Commercial Lending. Loans originated by the Company primarily secured by income producing properties, including retail centers, warehouses, and office buildings located in our market areas. Construction and Development Lending . Loans originated by the Company for the construction of, and secured by, commercial real estate, one-to-four-family, and multi-family residences and tracts of land for development that are not pre-sold. A small portion of the one-to-four-family construction portfolio is custom construction loans to the intended occupant of the residence. Home Equity Lending . Loans originated by the Company secured by second mortgages on one-to-four-family residences, including home equity lines of credit in our market areas. One-to-Four-Family Real Estate Lending . One-to-four-family residential loans include owner occupied properties (including second homes), and non-owner occupied properties with four or less units. These loans originated by the Company are secured by first mortgages on one-to-four-family residences in our market areas that the Company intends to hold (excludes loans held for sale). Multi-family Lending . Apartment term lending (5 or more units) to current banking customers and community reinvestment loans for low to moderate income individuals in the Company’s footprint. Consumer Loans Indirect Home Improvement . Fixture secured loans for home improvement are originated by the Company through its network of home improvement contractors and dealers and are secured by the personal property installed in, on, or at the borrower’s real property, and may be perfected with a UCC‑2 financing statement filed in the county of the borrower’s residence. These indirect home improvement loans include replacement windows, siding, roofing, and other home fixture installations. Solar. Fixture secured loans for solar related home improvement projects are originated by the Company through its network of contractors and dealers and are secured by the personal property installed in, on, or at the borrower’s real property, and which may be perfected with a UCC‑2 financing statement filed in the county of the borrower’s residence. Marine. Loans originated by the Company, secured by boats, to borrowers primarily located in the states the Company originates consumer loans. Other Consumer. Loans originated by the Company to consumers in our retail branch footprint, including automobiles, recreational vehicles, direct home improvement loans, loans on deposits, and other consumer loans, primarily consisting of personal lines of credit and credit cards. Commercial Business Loans Commercial and Industrial Lending (“C&I”) . Loans originated by the Company to local small- and mid-sized businesses in our Puget Sound market area are secured primarily by accounts receivable, inventory, or personal property, plant and equipment. Some of the C&I loans purchased by the Company are outside of the Greater Puget Sound market area. C&I loans are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. Warehouse Lending . Loans originated to non-depository financial institutions and secured by notes originated by the non-depository financial institution. The Company has two distinct warehouse lending divisions: commercial warehouse re-lending secured by notes on construction loans and mortgage warehouse re-lending secured by notes on one-to-four-family loans. The Company’s commercial construction warehouse lines are secured by notes on construction loans and typically guaranteed by principles with experience in construction lending. Mortgage warehouse lending loans are funded through third-party residential mortgage bankers. Under this program, the Company provides short-term funding to the mortgage banking companies for the purpose of originating residential mortgage loans for sale into the secondary market.

Credit Quality Indicators As part of the Company’s on-going monitoring of credit quality of the loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (i) the risk grading of loans, (ii) the level of classified loans, (iii) net charge-offs, (iv) non-performing loans and (v) the general economic conditions in the Company’s markets. The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to its real estate and commercial business loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 10, with loans in risk grades 1 to 6 considered “Pass” and loans in risk grades 7 to 10 are reported as classified loans in the Company’s allowance for loan loss analysis. A description of the 10 risk grades is as follows: · Grades 1 and 2 - These grades include loans to very high quality borrowers with excellent or desirable business credit. · Grade 3 - This grade includes loans to borrowers of good business credit with moderate risk. · Grades 4 and 5 - These grades include “Pass” grade loans to borrowers of average credit quality and risk. · Grade 6 - This grade includes loans on management’s “Watch” list and is intended to be utilized on a temporary basis for “Pass” grade borrowers where frequent and thorough monitoring is required due to credit weaknesses and where significant risk-modifying action is anticipated in the near term. · Grade 7 - This grade is for “Other Assets Especially Mentioned (OAEM)” in accordance with regulatory guidelines and includes borrowers where performance is poor or significantly less than expected. · Grade 8 - This grade includes “Substandard” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines which represent an unacceptable business credit where a loss is possible if loan weakness is not corrected. · Grade 9 - This grade includes “Doubtful” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines where a loss is highly probable. · Grade 10 - This grade includes “Loss” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines for which total loss is expected and when identified are charged off. Consumer, Home Equity and One-to-Four-Family Real Estate Loans Homogeneous loans are risk rated based upon the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s Uniform Retail Credit Classification and Account Management Policy. Loans classified under this policy at the Company are consumer loans which include indirect home improvement, solar, marine, other consumer, and one-to-four-family first and second liens. Under the Uniform Retail Credit Classification Policy, loans that are current or less than 90 days past due are graded “Pass” and risk graded “4” or “5” internally. Loans that are past due more than 90 days are classified “Substandard” risk graded “8” internally until the loan has demonstrated consistent performance, typically six months of contractual payments. Closed-end loans that are 120 days past due and open-end loans that are 180 days past due are charged off based on the value of the collateral less cost to sell. The following tables summarize risk rated loan balances by category at the dates indicated: December 31, 2018 Special Pass Watch Mention Substandard Doubtful Loss (1 - 5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) Total REAL ESTATE LOANS Commercial $ 203,557 $ 1,142 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 204,699 Construction and development 244,577 2,729 — — — — 247,306 Home equity 39,846 — 183 229 — — 40,258 One-to-four-family 247,575 207 63 1,552 — — 249,397 Multi-family 103,447 1,216 — — — — 104,663 Total real estate loans 839,002 5,294 246 1,781 — — 846,323 CONSUMER LOANS Indirect home improvement 167,426 — — 367 — — 167,793 Solar 44,392 — — 41 — — 44,433 Marine 57,804 — — 18 — — 57,822 Other consumer 5,415 — 8 2 — — 5,425 Total consumer loans 275,037 — 8 428 — — 275,473 COMMERCIAL BUSINESS LOANS Commercial and industrial 124,089 8,813 — 5,784 — — 138,686 Warehouse lending 65,756 — — — — — 65,756 Total commercial business loans 189,845 8,813 — 5,784 — — 204,442 Total loans receivable, gross $ 1,303,884 $ 14,107 $ 254 $ 7,993 $ — $ — $ 1,326,238 December 31, 2017 Special Pass Watch Mention Substandard Doubtful Loss (1 - 5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) Total REAL ESTATE LOANS Commercial $ 62,057 $ — $ 1,554 $ — $ — $ — $ 63,611 Construction and development 143,068 — — — — — 143,068 Home equity 25,138 — — 151 — — 25,289 One-to-four-family 163,513 — — 142 — — 163,655 Multi-family 44,451 — — — — — 44,451 Total real estate loans 438,227 — 1,554 293 — — 440,074 CONSUMER LOANS Indirect home improvement 129,981 — — 195 — — 130,176 Solar 41,049 — — — — — 41,049 Marine 35,397 — — — — — 35,397 Other consumer 1,998 — — 48 — — 2,046 Total consumer loans 208,425 — — 243 — — 208,668 COMMERCIAL BUSINESS LOANS Commercial and industrial 76,942 — 425 5,939 — — 83,306 Warehouse lending 40,724 673 — — — — 41,397 Total commercial business loans 117,666 673 425 5,939 — — 124,703 Total loans receivable, gross $ 764,318 $ 673 $ 1,979 $ 6,475 $ — $ — $ 773,445 At December 31, 2018, there were no troubled debt restructured loans (“TDRs”) that were modified in the previous 12 months that subsequently defaulted in the reporting year.
