Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses | NOTE 4 - LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES The following table presents the recorded investment and unpaid principal for loans at December 31, 2016 and 2015: December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Recorded Unpaid Recorded Unpaid (Dollars in thousands) Investment Principal Difference Investment Principal Difference Commercial real estate $ 442,237 $ 447,926 $ (5,689 ) $ 291,819 $ 299,272 $ (7,453 ) Construction, land development, land 109,812 113,211 (3,399 ) 43,876 45,376 (1,500 ) 1-4 family residential properties 104,974 106,852 (1,878 ) 78,244 81,141 (2,897 ) Farmland 141,615 142,673 (1,058 ) 33,573 33,533 40 Commercial 778,643 783,349 (4,706 ) 495,356 496,719 (1,363 ) Factored receivables 238,198 239,432 (1,234 ) 215,088 216,201 (1,113 ) Consumer 29,764 29,782 (18 ) 13,050 13,072 (22 ) Mortgage warehouse 182,381 182,381 — 120,879 120,879 — Total 2,027,624 $ 2,045,606 $ (17,982 ) 1,291,885 $ 1,306,193 $ (14,308 ) Allowance for loan and lease losses (15,405 ) (12,567 ) $ 2,012,219 $ 1,279,318 The difference between the recorded investment and unpaid principal balance is principally associated with (1) premiums and discounts associated with acquisition date fair value adjustments on acquired loans (both PCI and non-PCI) totaling $15,210,000 and $13,090,000 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and (2) net deferred origination and factoring fees totaling $2,772,000 and $1,218,000 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, most of the Company’s non-factoring business activity is with customers located within certain states. The states of Texas (23%), Colorado (22%), Illinois (21%), and Iowa (7%), make up 73% of the Company’s gross loans, excluding factored receivables. Therefore, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is more affected by changes in the economies in these states. A majority (77%) of the Company’s factored receivables, representing approximately 9% of the total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2016, are receivables purchased from trucking fleets and owner-operators in the transportation industry. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had $23,597,000 and $21,188,000, respectively, of customer reserves associated with factored receivables. These amounts represent customer reserves held to settle any payment disputes or collection shortfalls, may be used to pay customers’ obligations to various third parties as directed by the customer, are periodically released to or withdrawn by customers, and are reported as deposits in the consolidated balance sheets. Loans with carrying amounts of $497,573,000 and $280,289,000 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were pledged to secure Federal Home Loan Bank advance capacity. During the year ended December 31, 2016, loans with a carrying amount of $24,384,000 were transferred to loans held for sale as the Company made the decision to sell the loans. These loans were subsequently sold resulting in proceeds of $24,538,000 and a gain on sale of loans of $154,000, which was recorded as other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. No loan transfers were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes every loan and is performed on a regular basis. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer loans, are analyzed primarily based on payment status. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Pass: Loans classified as pass are loans with low to average risk and not otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful. Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. PCI: At acquisition, PCI loans had the characteristics of substandard loans and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required principal payments would not be collected. The Company evaluates these loans on a projected cash flow basis with this evaluation performed quarterly. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans is as follows: (Dollars in thousands) December 31, 2016 Pass Substandard Doubtful PCI Total Commercial real estate $ 422,423 $ 6,951 $ — $ 12,863 $ 442,237 Construction, land development, land 105,493 362 — 3,957 109,812 1-4 family residential 101,339 1,307 — 2,328 104,974 Farmland 136,474 4,904 — 237 141,615 Commercial 729,634 41,487 — 7,522 778,643 Factored receivables 236,084 1,029 1,085 — 238,198 Consumer 29,688 76 — — 29,764 Mortgage warehouse 182,381 — — — 182,381 $ 1,943,516 $ 56,116 $ 1,085 $ 26,907 $ 2,027,624 (Dollars in thousands) December 31, 2015 Pass Substandard Doubtful PCI Total Commercial real estate $ 284,753 $ 1,977 $ — $ 5,089 $ 291,819 Construction, land development, land 42,499 — — 1,377 43,876 1-4 family residential 73,838 1,494 — 2,912 78,244 Farmland 33,573 — — — 33,573 Commercial 470,208 21,295 — 3,853 495,356 Factored receivables 212,588 1,019 1,481 — 215,088 Consumer 13,050 — — — 13,050 Mortgage warehouse 120,879 — — — 120,879 $ 1,251,388 $ 25,785 $ 1,481 $ 13,231 $ 1,291,885 Troubled Debt Restructurings The Company had a recorded investment in troubled debt restructurings of $18,386,000 and $1,383,000 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company had allocated specific allowances for these loans of $1,911,000 and $0 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and had not committed to lend additional amounts. Troubled debt restructurings are the result of extending amortization periods, reducing contractual interest rates, or a combination thereof. The Company did not grant principal reductions on any restructured loans.

The payment defaults did not result in incremental allowance allocations or charge-offs. During the year ended December 31, 2015, there were no defaults on any loans that were modified as troubled debt restructurings during the preceding twelve months. Default is determined at 90 or more days past due. Purchased Credit Impaired Loans The Company has loans that were acquired for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected.
