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. The following tables summarize risk rated loan balances by category as of March 31, 2022. Revolving loans that are converted to term loans are treated as new originations and are presented by year of origination. Term loans that are renewed or extended for periods longer than 90 days are presented as a new origination in the year of the most recent renewal or extension.
