Allowance for Credit Losses [Text Block] | NOTE 3 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Loans are generally stated at the principal amount outstanding. Advances under the terms of a loan to pay property taxes, insurance, legal and other costs are generally capitalized and reported as interest and other receivables. The Company’s portfolio consists primarily of real estate loans generally collateralized by first, second third ninety 9). Loans and the related accrued interest and advances are analyzed by management on a periodic basis for ultimate recovery. The allowance for loan losses is management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio that have been incurred as of the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through a provision for loan losses which is charged to expense. Additions to the allowance are expected to maintain the adequacy of the total allowance after credit losses and loan growth. Credit exposures determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. Cash received on previously charged off amounts is recorded as a recovery to the allowance. The overall allowance consists of two Regardless of a loan type, a loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, management believes it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due, including principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of the original agreement. All loans determined to be impaired are individually evaluated for impairment. When a loan is considered impaired, management estimates impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, management may fourth may A restructuring of a debt constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the Company for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. Restructured loans typically present an elevated level of credit risk as the borrowers are not able to perform according to the original contractual terms. Loans that are reported as TDR’s are considered impaired and measured for impairment as described above. The determination of the general reserve for loans that are not considered impaired and are collectively evaluated for impairment is based on estimates made by management, to include, but not limited to, consideration of historical losses by portfolio segment, internal asset classifications, and qualitative factors to include economic trends in the Company’s service areas, industry experience and trends, geographic concentrations, estimated collateral values, the Company’s underwriting policies, the character of the loan portfolio, and probable losses inherent in the portfolio taken as a whole. The Company maintains a separate allowance for each portfolio segment (loan type). These portfolio segments include commercial real estate, residential real estate and land loans. The allowance for loan losses attributable to each portfolio segment, which includes both impaired loans that are individually evaluated for impairment and loans that are not considered impaired and are collectively evaluated for impairment, is combined to determine the Company’s overall allowance, which is included on the consolidated balance sheet. The reserve for loans that are not considered impaired consists of reserve factors that are based on management’s assessment of the following for each portfolio segment: (1) (2) (3) Land Loans Commercial and Residential Real Estate Loans may The following tables show the changes in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the three March 31, 2017 2016 March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 2017 Commercial Residential Land Total Allowance for loan losses: Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Beginning balance $ 864,971 $ 1,331,318 $ 510,533 $ 2,706,822 Charge-offs — (107,999 ) — (107,999 ) Provision (Reversal) 69,577 (13,964 ) (17,577 ) 38,036 Ending balance $ 934,548 $ 1,209,355 $ 492,956 $ 2,636,859 March 31 , 201 7 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment $ — $ 624,713 $ — $ 624,713 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment 934,548 584,642 492,956 2,012,146 Ending balance $ 934,548 $ 1,209,355 $ 492,956 $ 2,636,859 Loans: Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment $ — $ 4,177,854 $ — $ 4,177,854 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment 110,682,477 13,606,070 8,238,523 132,527,070 Ending balance $ 110,682,477 $ 17,783,924 $ 8,238,523 $ 136,704,924 2016 Commercial Residential Land Total Allowance for loan losses: Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Beginning balance $ 1,140,530 $ 455,587 $ 246,329 $ 1,842,446 Provision (Reversal) (3 ) 48,335 62,743 111,075 Ending balance $ 1,140,527 $ 503,922 $ 309,072 $ 1,953,521 December 31 , 201 6 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment $ — $ 732,712 $ — $ 732,712 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment 864,971 598,606 510,533 1,974,110 Ending balance $ 864,971 $ 1,331,318 $ 510,533 $ 2,706,822 Loans: Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment $ — $ 4,883,866 $ — $ 4,883,866 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment 102,442,111 14,117,811 8,238,523 124,798,445 Ending balance $ 102,442,111 $ 19,001,677 $ 8,238,523 $ 129,682,311 The following tables show an aging analysis of the loan portfolio by the time monthly payments are past due as of March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016. 90 March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016.
