Loans | Note 6: Loans Major classifications of loans at the indicated dates are as follows: March 31, December 31, (In thousands) 2018 2017 Residential mortgage loans: 1-4 family first-lien residential mortgages $ 219,059 $ 216,793 Construction 5,559 5,558 Total residential mortgage loans 224,618 222,351 Commercial loans: Real estate 206,951 192,525 Lines of credit 52,482 51,131 Other commercial and industrial 60,385 50,251 Tax exempt loans 10,233 10,405 Total commercial loans 330,051 304,312 Consumer loans: Home equity and junior liens 26,116 25,935 Other consumer 27,601 28,646 Total consumer loans 53,717 54,581 Total loans 608,386 581,244 Net deferred loan fees (337 ) (413 ) Less allowance for loan losses (7,451 ) (7,126 ) Loans receivable, net $ 600,598 $ 573,705 Although the Bank may occasionally purchase or fund loan participation interests outside of its primary market areas, the Bank generally originates residential mortgage, commercial, and consumer loans largely to customers throughout Oswego and Onondaga counties. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its borrowers’ abilities to honor their loan contracts is dependent upon the counties’ employment and economic conditions. The Bank acquired $15.6 million and $10.2 million of loans originated by an unrelated financial institution, located outside of the Bank’s market area, in January 2017 and April 2017, respectively. The acquired loan pools represented a 90% participating interest in a total of 1,231 loans secured by liens on automobiles with maturities ranging primarily from two to six years. These loans will be serviced through their respective maturities by the originating financial institution. At March 31, 2018 there were 1,030 loans outstanding with a remaining outstanding carrying value of $17.8 million. Since the acquisition of these loan pools, a total of seven loans, with a combined outstanding balance of $58,300, have been charged-off as uncollectible. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, residential mortgage loans with a carrying value of $154.6 million and $148.1 million, respectively, have been pledged by the Company to the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) under a blanket collateral agreement to secure the Company’s line of credit and term borrowings. Loan Origination / Risk Management The Company’s lending policies and procedures are presented in Note 5 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2018 and have not changed. As part of the execution of the Company’s overall balance sheet management strategies, the Bank will acquire participating interests in loans originated by unrelated third parties on a sporadic basis. The purchase of participations in loans that are originated by third parties only occurs after the completion of thorough pre-acquisition due diligence. Loans in which the Company acquires a participating interest are determined to meet, in all material respects, the Company’s internal underwriting policies, including credit and collateral suitability thresholds, prior to acquisition. In addition, the financial condition of the originating financial institutions, which are generally retained as the ongoing loan servicing provider for participations acquired by the Bank, are analyzed prior to the acquisition of the participating interests and monitored on a regular basis thereafter for the life of those interests. To develop and document a systematic methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company has divided the loan portfolio into three portfolio segments, each with different risk characteristics but with similar methodologies for assessing risk. Each portfolio segment is broken down into loan classes where appropriate. Loan classes contain unique measurement attributes, risk characteristics, and methods for monitoring and assessing risk that are necessary to develop the allowance for loan losses. Unique characteristics such as borrower type, loan type, collateral type, and risk characteristics define each class. The following table illustrates the portfolio segments and classes for the Company’s loan portfolio: Portfolio Segment Class Residential Mortgage Loans 1-4 family first-lien residential mortgages Construction Commercial Loans Real estate Lines of credit Other commercial and industrial Tax exempt loans Consumer Loans Home equity and junior liens Other consumer The following tables present the classes of the loan portfolio, not including net deferred loan costs, summarized by the aggregate pass rating and the classified ratings of special mention, substandard and doubtful within the Company's internal risk rating system as of the dates indicated: As of March 31, 2018 Special (In thousands) Pass Mention Substandard Doubtful Total Residential mortgage loans: 1-4 family first-lien residential mortgages $ 214,151 $ 927 $ 1,410 $ 2,571 $ 219,059 Construction 5,559 - - - 5,559 Total residential mortgage loans 219,710 927 1,410 2,571 224,618 Commercial loans: Real estate 201,595 1,357 1,943 2,056 206,951 Lines of credit 51,686 218 518 60 52,482 Other commercial and industrial 58,585 816 688 296 60,385 Tax exempt loans 10,233 - - - 10,233 Total commercial loans 322,099 2,391 3,149 2,412 330,051 Consumer loans: Home equity and junior liens 25,703 85 173 155 26,116 Other consumer 27,453 139 9 - 27,601 Total consumer loans 53,156 224 182 155 53,717 Total loans $ 594,965 $ 3,542 $ 4,741 $ 5,138 $ 608,386 As of December 31, 2017 Special (In thousands) Pass Mention Substandard Doubtful Total Residential mortgage loans: 1-4 family first-lien residential mortgages $ 211,825 $ 891 $ 1,869 $ 2,208 $ 216,793 Construction 5,558 - - - 5,558 Total residential mortgage loans 217,383 891 1,869 2,208 222,351 Commercial loans: Real estate 187,073 1,372 2,024 2,056 192,525 Lines of credit 50,353 195 523 60 51,131 Other commercial and industrial 48,892 407 532 420 50,251 Tax exempt loans 10,405 - - - 10,405 Total commercial loans 296,723 1,974 3,079 2,536 304,312 Consumer loans: Home equity and junior liens 25,396 61 304 174 25,935 Other consumer 28,584 55 7 - 28,646 Total consumer loans 53,980 116 311 174 54,581 Total loans $ 568,086 $ 2,981 $ 5,259 $ 4,918 $ 581,244 Management has reviewed its loan portfolio and determined that, to the best of its knowledge, no material exposure exists to sub-prime or other high-risk residential mortgages. The Company is not in the practice of originating these types of loans. Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans Loans are placed on nonaccrual when the contractual payment of principal and interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan may be currently performing. Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received within thirty days of the payment due date. An age analysis of past due loans, not including net deferred loan costs, segregated by portfolio segment and class of loans, as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, are detailed in the following tables: As of March 31, 2018 30-59 Days 60-89 Days 90 Days Past Due Past Due and Total Total Loans (In thousands) And Accruing And Accruing Over Past Due Current Receivable Residential mortgage loans: 1-4 family first-lien residential mortgages $ 823 $ 235 $ 2,116 $ 3,174 $ 215,885 $ 219,059 Construction - - - - 5,559 5,559 Total residential mortgage loans 823 235 2,116 3,174 221,444 224,618 Commercial loans: Real estate 4,410 492 2,928 7,830 199,121 206,951 Lines of credit 850 88 171 1,109 51,373 52,482 Other commercial and industrial 363 115 978 1,456 58,929 60,385 Tax exempt loans - - - - 10,233 10,233 Total commercial loans 5,623 695 4,077 10,395 319,656 330,051 Consumer loans: Home equity and junior liens 18 - 205 223 25,893 26,116 Other consumer 136 73 56 265 27,336 27,601 Total consumer loans 154 73 261 488 53,229 53,717 Total loans $ 6,600 $ 1,003 $ 6,454 $ 14,057 $ 594,329 $ 608,386 As of December 31, 2017 30-59 Days 60-89 Days 90 Days Past Due Past Due and Total Total Loans (In thousands) And Accruing And Accruing Over Past Due Current Receivable Residential mortgage loans: 1-4 family first-lien residential mortgages $ 1,196 $ 925 $ 2,088 $ 4,209 $ 212,584 $ 216,793 Construction - - - - 5,558 5,558 Total residential mortgage loans 1,196 925 2,088 4,209 218,142 222,351 Commercial loans: Real estate 720 2,056 1,545 4,321 188,204 192,525 Lines of credit 1,482 31 132 1,645 49,486 51,131 Other commercial and industrial 575 60 766 1,401 48,850 50,251 Tax exempt loans - - - - 10,405 10,405 Total commercial loans 2,777 2,147 2,443 7,367 296,945 304,312 Consumer loans: Home equity and junior liens 94 74 300 468 25,467 25,935 Other consumer 192 50 63 305 28,341 28,646 Total consumer loans 286 124 363 773 53,808 54,581 Total loans $ 4,259 $ 3,196 $ 4,894 $ 12,349 $ 568,895 $ 581,244 Nonaccrual loans, segregated by class of loan, were as follows: March 31, December 31, (In thousands) 2018 2017 Residential mortgage loans: 1-4 family first-lien residential mortgages $ 2,116 $ 2,088 2,116 2,088 Commercial loans: Real estate 2,928 1,545 Lines of credit 171 132 Other commercial and industrial 978 766 4,077 2,443 Consumer loans: Home equity and junior liens 205 300 Other consumer 56 63 261 363 Total nonaccrual loans $ 6,454 $ 4,894 The Company is required to disclose certain activities related to Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”) in accordance with accounting guidance. Certain loans have been modified in a TDR where economic concessions have been granted to a borrower who is experiencing, or expected to experience, financial difficulties. These economic concessions could include a reduction in the loan interest rate, extension of payment terms, reduction of principal amortization, or other actions that it would not otherwise consider for a new loan with similar risk characteristics. The Company is required to disclose new TDRs for each reporting period for which an income statement is being presented. The pre-modification outstanding recorded investment is the principal loan balance less the provision for loan losses before the loan was modified as a TDR. The post-modification outstanding recorded investment is the principal balance less the provision for loan losses after the loan was modified as a TDR. Additional provision for loan losses is the change in the allowance for loan losses between the pre-modification outstanding recorded investment and post-modification outstanding recorded investment. The table below details loans that have been modified as TDRs for the three months ended March 31, 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 (In thousands) Number of loans Pre-modification outstanding recorded investment Post-modification outstanding recorded investment Additional provision for loan losses Other commercial and industrial loans 1 $ 300 $ 300 $ - The TDR evaluated for impairment for the three months ended March 31, 2018, has been classified as a TDR due to economic concessions granted, which included an extended maturity date that will result in a delay in payment from the original contractual maturity. The Company had no loans that have been modified as TDRs for three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company is required to disclose loans that have been modified as TDRs within the previous 12 months in which there was payment default after the restructuring. The Company defines payment default as any loans 90 days past due on contractual payments. The Company had no loans that had been modified as TDRs during the twelve months prior to March 31, 2018, which had subsequently defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Company had no loans that had been modified as TDRs during the twelve months prior to March 31, 2017, which had subsequently defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2017. When the Company modifies a loan within a portfolio segment that is individually evaluated for impairment, a potential impairment is analyzed either based on the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the interest rate of the original loan terms or the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell. If it is determined that the value of the loan is less than its recorded investment, then impairment is recognized as a component of the provision for loan losses, an associated increase to the allowance for loan losses or as a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses in the current period.
