Management evaluates for potential impairment all construction loans, multi-family loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans, loans to financial institutions, leases and all loans and leases more than 90 days delinquent as to principal and/or interest. Loans are considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect in full the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Once the determination is made that a loan is impaired, the determination of whether a specific allocation of the allowance is necessary is generally measured by comparing the recorded investment in the loan to the fair value of the loan using one of the following three methods: (a) the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (b) the loan’s observable market price; or (c) the fair value of the collateral less selling costs. Management primarily utilizes the fair value of collateral method as a practically expedient alternative. On collateral method evaluations, any portion of the loan deemed uncollectible is charged-off against the loan loss allowance. The following table presents impaired loans by class as of June 30, 2020, segregated by those for which a specific allowance was required and those for which no specific allowance was required.

The Company has incorporated an internal asset classification system, consistent with Federal banking regulations, as a part of its credit monitoring system. Management currently classifies problem and potential problem assets as “special mention”, “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss” assets. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. Assets which do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the three aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are required to be designated “special mention.” The following tables present the classes of the loan portfolio in which a formal risk weighting system is utilized summarized by the aggregate “Pass” and the criticized category of “special mention”, and the classified categories of “substandard”, “doubtful” and “loss” within the Company’s risk rating system as applied to the loan portfolio. The Company had no loans classified as “doubtful” or “loss” at either of the dates presented.

If the Company becomes aware that adverse or distressed conditions exist that may affect a particular loan, the loan is downgraded following the above definitions of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. The following tables represent loans in which a formal risk rating system is not utilized, but loans are segregated between performing and non-performing based primarily on delinquency status. Non-performing loans that would be included in the table are those loans greater than 90 days past due as to principal and/or interest that do not have a designated risk rating.

The Company maintains the allowance at a level believed to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. Management reviews the allowance for loan losses no less than quarterly in order to identify these inherent losses and to assess the overall collection probability for the loan portfolio in view of these inherent losses. For each primary type of loan, a loss factor is established reflecting an estimate of the known and inherent losses in such loan type contained in the portfolio using both a quantitative analysis as well as consideration of qualitative factors. The evaluation process includes, among other things, an analysis of delinquency trends, non-performing loan trends, the level of charge-offs and recoveries, prior loss experience, total loans outstanding, the volume of loan originations, the type, size and geographic concentration of the Company’s loans, the value of collateral securing the loans, the borrowers’ ability to repay and repayment performance, the number of loans requiring heightened management oversight, local economic conditions and industry experience. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 the analysis took into account the pandemic and its effects on the Company's business, especially with respect to commercial real estate, commercial business and construction and land development loans. Commercial real estate loans entail significant additional credit risks compared to owner-occupied one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, as they generally involve large loan balances concentrated with a single borrower or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment experience on loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the related real estate project and/or business operation of the borrower who is, in some cases, also the primary occupant, and thus may be subject to a greater extent to the effects of adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the economy in general. Commercial business loans typically involve a higher risk of default than residential loans of like duration since their repayment is generally dependent on the successful operation of the borrower’s business and the sufficiency of collateral, if any. Land acquisition, development and construction lending exposes the Company to greater credit risk than permanent mortgage financing. The repayment of land acquisition, development and construction loans depends upon the sale of the property to third parties and/or the availability of permanent financing upon completion of all improvements. These events may adversely affect the sale of the properties, potentially reducing both the borrowers’ ability to make required payments as well as reducing the value of the collateral property. Such lending is additionally subject to the risk that if the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, the Company potentially will be compelled to advance additional funds to allow completion of the project. In addition, if the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, the Company may be confronted with a project, when completed, having less value than the loan amount. If the Company is forced to foreclose on a construction project prior to completion, there is no assurance that the Company would be able to recover the entire unpaid portion of the loan. The following tables summarize the primary segments of the allowance for loan losses.

The provision expense incurred during the 2020 periods was primarily as a precaution due to the uncertainty associated with the economic effects of COVID-19 and the potential credit deterioration caused thereby. Although minimal delinquencies had occurred as of June 30, 2020 due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, deferments were granted during the three months ended June 30, 2020 with respect to commercial real estate and residential real estate loans aggregating $132.6 million and $ 17.1 million respectively. These deferments are not anticipated to be troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs“) as all the borrowers requesting deferments were current as of December 31, 2019 and the request for the deferments were related to the current economic conditions caused by COVID-19, not underlying weaknesses within the respective loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company believes there is a material risk that credit losses and non-performing assets may increase due to current economic conditions. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded $22,000 in charge offs and recoveries of $1,000. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded charge offs of $95,000 and recoveries of $17,000. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded no charge offs and recoveries of $103,000. During the nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded no charge offs and recoveries of $163,000 At June 30, 2020, the Company had four loans aggregating $5.3 million that were classified as TDRs. Three of the TDRs, totaling $4.9 million, which are classified as non-accrual are a part of a troubled lending relationship totaling $10.5 million. The remaining TDR is also on non-accrual and consists of a $420,000 loan secured by a single-family property; the loan is performing in accordance with the restructured terms. The Company did not restructure any loans, as a TDR, during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, or during the three and nine months ending June 30, 2019. No TDRs defaulted during the three and nine-month periods ending June 30, 2020 or 2019. |
