Credit Quality Information The Company utilizes a ten-grade internal loan rating system for all loans as follows: Loans rated 1 – 6 are considered “acceptable” rated loans that are performing as agreed, and generally require only routine supervision. Loans rated 7 are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management. Loans rated 8 are considered “substandard.” Generally, a loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged. There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected. Generally, all loans 90 days delinquent are rated 8. Loans rated 9 are considered “doubtful.” Serious problems exist to the point where a partial loss of principal is likely. Weakness is so pronounced that on the basis of current information, conditions and values, collection in full is highly improbable. Loans rated 10 are considered "loss" and the credit extended to the customer is considered uncollectible or of such little value that it does not warrant consideration as an active asset. The Company assigns a 6 risk-rating to otherwise performing, satisfactorily collateralized consumer and residential loans where the Bank becomes aware of deterioration in a FICO score or other indication of potential inability to service the debt. The Company assigns risk ratings of 7-10 to residential or consumer loans that have a well-defined weakness that may jeopardize the collection of the contractual principal and interest, are contractually past due 90 days or more or legal action has commenced against the borrower. All other residential mortgage and consumer loans have no risk rating. On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial and commercial construction loans. At least annually, the Company engages an independent third party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process. In addition, management utilizes delinquency reports, the watch list and other loan reports to monitor credit quality of other loan segments.
