The Company originates real estate, consumer, and commercial business loans and has concentrations in these areas, however, indirect home improvement loans, including solar-related home improvement loans, are originated through a network of home improvement contractors and dealers located throughout Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, Minnesota, and Nevada. Loans are generally secured by collateral and rights to collateral vary and are legally documented to the extent practicable. Local economic conditions may affect borrowers’ ability to meet the stated repayment terms. At June 30, 2021, the Bank held approximately $751.8 million in loans that are pledged as collateral for FHLB advances, compared to approximately $774.8 million at December 31, 2020. The Bank held approximately $396.8 million in loans that are pledged as collateral for the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”) line of credit at June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $369.2 million at December 31, 2020. At June 30, 2021, the Bank held $73.2 million of loans originated under the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) which qualified as collateral for non-recourse advances under the FRB’s Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”). The PPPLF concluded on July 30, 2021. Included in the carrying value of gross loans are net discounts on loans purchased in the Anchor Bank acquisition in November 2018 (“Anchor Acquisition”). The remaining net discount on loans acquired was $1.0 million and $1.5 million, on $100.2 million and $132.6 million of gross loans at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. 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 Construction and Development Lending Home Equity Lending One-to-Four-Family Real Estate Lending Multi-Family Lending Consumer Loans Indirect Home Improvement Marine Other Consumer.

Forbearance allows a borrower to temporarily not make scheduled payments or to make smaller than scheduled payments, in each case for a specified period of time. Forbearance does not grant any reduction in the total principal or interest repayment obligation. While a loan is in forbearance status, interest continues to accrue and is repaid over a specified time period when the loan re-enters repayment status. As of June 30, 2021, the amount of loans remaining under payment/relief agreements included commercial real estate loans of $24.4 million, commercial business loans of $9.3 million, and consumer loans of $147,000. These loans were classified as current and accruing interest as of June 30, 2021, with the exception of $4.5 million in commercial business loans which were classified as nonaccrual, yet current on contractual payments. These modifications were not classified as TDRs at June 30, 2021 in accordance with the CARES Act and related bank agency regulatory guidance. Loan modifications in accordance with the CARES Act and related banking agency regulatory guidance are still subject to an evaluation in regard to determining whether or not a loan is deemed to be impaired. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no TDRs. There were no TDRs which incurred a payment default within twelve months of the restructure date during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

All loans modified due to COVID-19 are separately monitored and any request for continuation of relief beyond the initial modification will be reassessed at that time to determine if a further modification should be granted and if a downgrade in risk rating is appropriate. 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 rated “4” or “5” internally. Loans that are past due more than 90 days are classified “Substandard” and 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. Management may more conservatively risk rate credits even if paying in accordance with the loan’s repayment terms. Commercial real estate, construction and development, multi-family and commercial business loans are evaluated individually for their risk classification and may be classified as “Substandard” even if current on their loan payment obligations.
