At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $23,573,000 and $23,597,000, 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to pay customers’ obligations to various third parties as directed by the customer, are periodically released to or withdrawn by customers, and are reported as deposits in the consolidated balance sheets.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 $450,654,000 and $497,573,000 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, were pledged to secure Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing capacity. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, loans with carrying amounts of $1,965,000 and $2,881,000, respectively, 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 $1,919,000 and $2,805,000, respectively, and losses on sale of loans of $46,000 and $76,000, respectively, which were recorded as other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income.

Credit Quality Information The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, including: current collateral and financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. 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 and interest payments would not be collected. The Company evaluates these loans on a projected cash flow basis with this evaluation performed quarterly. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans is as follows: (Dollars in thousands) March 31, 2017 Pass Substandard Doubtful PCI Total Commercial real estate $ 485,653 $ 1,692 $ — $ 10,754 $ 498,099 Construction, land development, land 105,846 415 — 3,588 109,849 1-4 family residential 101,350 1,587 — 2,293 105,230 Farmland 129,763 6,537 — 237 136,537 Commercial 746,554 41,630 — 4,580 792,764 Factored receivables 239,754 930 1,414 — 242,098 Consumer 28,280 135 — — 28,415 Mortgage warehouse 122,244 — — — 122,244 $ 1,959,444 $ 52,926 $ 1,414 $ 21,452 $ 2,035,236 (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 Troubled Debt Restructurings The Company had a recorded investment in troubled debt restructurings of $12,584,000 and $18,386,000 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company had allocated specific allowances for these loans of $435,000 and $1,911,000 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 following table presents loans modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016: Pre-Modification Post-Modification Outstanding Outstanding (Dollars in thousands) Number of Recorded Recorded March 31, 2017 Loans Investment Investment Commercial 4 $ 186 $ 186 Pre-Modification Post-Modification Outstanding Outstanding (Dollars in thousands) Number of Recorded Recorded March 31, 2016 Loans Investment Investment Commercial 16 $ 5,730 $ 5,730 During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the company had three loans modified as troubled debt restructurings with a recorded investment of $2,987,000 for which there were payment defaults within twelve months following the modification.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, 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. The outstanding contractually required principal and interest and the carrying amount of these loans included in the balance sheet amounts of loans at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, are as follows: March 31, December 31, 2017 2016 Contractually required principal and interest: Real estate loans $ 22,085 $ 25,013 Commercial loans 6,706 9,703 Outstanding contractually required principal and interest $ 28,791 $ 34,716 Gross carrying amount included in loans receivable $ 21,452 $ 26,907 The changes in accretable yield during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 in regard to loans transferred at acquisition for which it was probable that all contractually required payments would not be collected are as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Accretable yield, beginning balance $ 4,261 $ 2,594 Additions — — Accretion (472 ) (517 ) Reclassification from nonaccretable to accretable yield 83 — Disposals (440 ) (13 ) Accretable yield, ending balance $ 3,432 $ 2,064 |
