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, $10.2 million, and $24.6 million of loans originated by an unrelated financial institution, located outside of the Bank’s market area, in January 2017, April 2017, and March 2019, respectively. The acquired loan pools represented a 90% participating interest in a total of 2,283 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were 1,731 loans outstanding with a remaining outstanding carrying value of $30.0 million and 909 loans outstanding with a remaining outstanding carrying value of $13.3 million, respectively. Since the acquisition of these loan pools, a total of 25 loans had cumulative net charge-offs totaling $187,000 with $67,000 in net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Bank acquired a $5.0 million pool of consumer loans and a $5.0 million pool of commercial and industrial loans originated by an unrelated financial institution, located outside of the Bank’s market area, in June 2019. The acquired loan pools represent a 100% interest in a total of 86 unsecured consumer loans and 35 commercial and industrial loans. These loans have maturities ranging primarily from four to ten years. At September 30, 2019, there were 85 unsecured consumer loans outstanding with a remaining outstanding carrying value of $4.8 million and 35 commercial and industrial loans outstanding with a remaining outstanding carrying value of $4.9 million. No charge-offs have occurred since the acquisition of these loan pools. The Bank acquired a $21.9 million pool of home equity lines of credit originated by an unrelated financial institution, located outside of the Bank’s market area, in August 2019. The acquired loan pools represent a 100% interest in a total of 395 secured home equity lines of credit. These lines of credit have maturities ranging primarily from four to thirty years. These lines of credit will be serviced through their respective maturities by the originating financial institution. At September 30, 2019, there were 383 secured home equity lines of credit outstanding with a remaining outstanding carrying value of $21.3 million. No charge-offs have occurred since the acquisition of these loan pools. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, residential mortgage loans with a carrying value of $136.6 million and $154.9 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 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2019 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 September 30, 2019 Special (In thousands) Pass Mention Substandard Doubtful Total Residential mortgage loans: 1-4 family first-lien residential mortgages $ 238,192 $ 1,297 $ 1,069 $ 1,259 $ 241,817 Construction 4,241 - - - 4,241 Total residential mortgage loans 242,433 1,297 1,069 1,259 246,058 Commercial loans: Real estate 224,314 7,367 2,787 896 235,364 Lines of credit 56,687 1,339 382 - 58,408 Other commercial and industrial 75,863 3,867 1,050 49 80,829 Tax exempt loans 8,183 - - - 8,183 Total commercial loans 365,047 12,573 4,219 945 382,784 Consumer loans: Home equity and junior liens 46,840 129 234 309 47,512 Other consumer 49,146 206 134 - 49,486 Total consumer loans 95,986 335 368 309 96,998 Total loans $ 703,466 $ 14,205 $ 5,656 $ 2,513 $ 725,840 As of December 31, 2018 Special (In thousands) Pass Mention Substandard Doubtful Total Residential mortgage loans: 1-4 family first-lien residential mortgages $ 228,563 $ 999 $ 1,190 $ 1,771 $ 232,523 Construction 7,121 - - - 7,121 Total residential mortgage loans 235,684 999 1,190 1,771 239,644 Commercial loans: Real estate 201,997 8,299 1,947 71 212,314 Lines of credit 42,489 1,491 233 22 44,235 Other commercial and industrial 59,344 3,268 612 135 63,359 Tax exempt loans 9,320 - - - 9,320 Total commercial loans 313,150 13,058 2,792 228 329,228 Consumer loans: Home equity and junior liens 25,706 144 173 86 26,109 Other consumer 25,294 95 35 - 25,424 Total consumer loans 51,000 239 208 86 51,533 Total loans $ 599,834 $ 14,296 $ 4,190 $ 2,085 $ 620,405 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, are detailed in the following tables: As of September 30, 2019 30-59 Days 60-89 Days 90 Days Total Total Loans (In thousands) Past Due Past Due and Over Past Due Current Receivable Residential mortgage loans: 1-4 family first-lien residential mortgages $ 1,591 $ 775 $ 777 $ 3,143 $ 238,674 $ 241,817 Construction - - - - 4,241 4,241 Total residential mortgage loans 1,591 775 777 3,143 242,915 246,058 Commercial loans: Real estate 16 151 2,845 3,012 232,352 235,364 Lines of credit 15 248 392 655 57,753 58,408 Other commercial and industrial 526 415 891 1,832 78,997 80,829 Tax exempt loans - - - - 8,183 8,183 Total commercial loans 557 814 4,128 5,499 377,285 382,784 Consumer loans: Home equity and junior liens 391 107 276 774 46,738 47,512 Other consumer 294 115 66 475 49,011 49,486 Total consumer loans 685 222 342 1,249 95,749 96,998 Total loans $ 2,833 $ 1,811 $ 5,247 $ 9,891 $ 715,949 $ 725,840 As of December 31, 2018 30-59 Days 60-89 Days 90 Days Total Total Loans (In thousands) Past Due Past Due and Over Past Due Current Receivable Residential mortgage loans: 1-4 family first-lien residential mortgages $ 1,507 $ 505 $ 1,176 $ 3,188 $ 229,335 $ 232,523 Construction - - - - 7,121 7,121 Total residential mortgage loans 1,507 505 1,176 3,188 236,456 239,644 Commercial loans: Real estate 4,261 364 323 4,948 207,366 212,314 Lines of credit 1,033 111 22 1,166 43,069 44,235 Other commercial and industrial 814 44 387 1,245 62,114 63,359 Tax exempt loans - - - - 9,320 9,320 Total commercial loans 6,108 519 732 7,359 321,869 329,228 Consumer loans: Home equity and junior liens 247 6 35 288 25,821 26,109 Other consumer 226 65 107 398 25,026 25,424 Total consumer loans 473 71 142 686 50,847 51,533 Total loans $ 8,088 $ 1,095 $ 2,050 $ 11,233 $ 609,172 $ 620,405 Nonaccrual loans, segregated by class of loan, were as follows: September 30, December 31, (In thousands) 2019 2018 Residential mortgage loans: 1-4 family first-lien residential mortgages $ 777 $ 1,176 777 1,176 Commercial loans: Real estate 2,923 415 Lines of credit 392 28 Other commercial and industrial 891 387 4,206 830 Consumer loans: Home equity and junior liens 276 35 Other consumer 66 107 342 142 Total nonaccrual loans $ 5,325 $ 2,148 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 Company had no loans that were modified as TDRs for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The table below details one loan that was modified as a TDR for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (In thousands) Number of loans Pre-modification outstanding recorded investment Post-modification outstanding recorded investment Additional provision for loan losses Residential real estate loans 1 $ 205 $ 250 $ - The TDR evaluated for impairment, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, has been classified as a TDR due to economic concessions granted, which consisted of additional funds advanced without associated increases in collateral and an extended maturity date that will result in a delay in payment from the original contractual maturity. The Company had no loans that were modified as TDRs for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The table below details one loan that was modified as a TDR for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 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 were modified as TDRs during the twelve months prior to September 30, 2019, which had subsequently defaulted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company had no loans that were modified as TDRs during the twelve months prior to September 30, 2018, which had subsequently defaulted during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. 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.
