At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had $37,174,000 and $32,459,000, 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to pay customers’ obligations to various third parties as directed by the customer, are periodically released to or withdrawn by customers, and are reported as deposits in the consolidated balance sheets.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 $735,632,000 and $596,230,000 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, were pledged to secure Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing capacity. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, loans with carrying amounts of $1,965,000 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 $1,919,000 and losses on sale of loans of $46,000, which were recorded as other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. There were no loans sold during the three months ended March 31, 2018 other than those included in the sale of THF. See Note 2 – Business Combinations and Divestitures for details of the THF sale and its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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 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, 2018 and December 31, 2017, based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans is as follows: (Dollars in thousands) March 31, 2018 Pass Substandard Doubtful PCI Total Commercial real estate $ 766,811 $ 4,446 $ — $ 9,749 $ 781,006 Construction, land development, land 139,824 139 — 3,913 143,876 1-4 family residential 119,505 2,397 — 1,077 122,979 Farmland 178,052 5,905 — 107 184,064 Commercial 887,738 41,878 — 667 930,283 Factored receivables 393,959 2,477 709 — 397,145 Consumer 28,841 403 — — 29,244 Mortgage warehouse 285,388 — — — 285,388 $ 2,800,118 $ 57,645 $ 709 $ 15,513 $ 2,873,985 (Dollars in thousands) December 31, 2017 Pass Substandard Doubtful PCI Total Commercial real estate $ 732,175 $ 3,956 $ — $ 9,762 $ 745,893 Construction, land development, land 130,732 136 — 3,944 134,812 1-4 family residential 122,044 2,687 — 1,096 125,827 Farmland 171,017 9,015 — 109 180,141 Commercial 878,957 41,168 — 687 920,812 Factored receivables 370,839 2,325 1,246 — 374,410 Consumer 30,739 392 — — 31,131 Mortgage warehouse 297,830 — — — 297,830 $ 2,734,333 $ 59,679 $ 1,246 $ 15,598 $ 2,810,856 Troubled Debt Restructurings The Company had a recorded investment in troubled debt restructurings of $12,044,000 and $19,137,000 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The Company had allocated specific allowances for these loans of $574,000 and $535,000 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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.
