This pandemic severely disrupted normal economic activity in the communities the Company serves, along with the rest of the nation. It is impossible to know the full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the continued effects it may have on the Company’s operations. Management has determined a separate element of the allowance to represent the estimate of probable incurred losses associated with the impact of the pandemic on the Company’s loan portfolios. This estimate is judgmental and subject to changes as conditions evolve. This qualitative element of the allowance was determined based on the impact the pandemic has had on current employment levels, economic activity in the Company’s geographic regions, and the time it could take for the affected regions to return to a more normalized operating environment.

The troubled debt restructuring decreased the interest rate on the loan and extended the maturity. The Company did not enter into any loan modifications meeting the criteria of a troubled debt restructuring for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Management performs a discounted cash flow calculation to determine the amount of valuation reserve required on each of the troubled debt restructurings. Any reserve required is recorded as part of the allowance for loan losses. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, there were no material changes to the allowance for loan losses as a result of loan modifications made which were considered a troubled debt restructuring. No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with troubled debt restructurings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, there were no troubled debt restructurings that defaulted (over 30 days past due) within twelve months of the restructure date. At September 30, 2021, there were two residential real estate loans that were modified under a troubled debt restructuring prior to the pandemic that were granted payment deferral plans. One loan, totaling $289,000, was performing in accordance with its modified terms and is currently in repayment, and one loan, for $213,000, was not performing in accordance for more than six months, and is no longer in payment suspension. Credit Quality Information The Company utilizes an eight-grade internal loan rating system for commercial real estate, construction and commercial and industrial loans, as follows: Loans rated 1 – 3B are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk. Loans rated 4 are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management. Loans rated 5 are considered “substandard” and are 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. Loans rated 6 are considered “doubtful” and have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable. Loans rated 7 are considered uncollectible (“loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted. On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial real estate, construction and commercial and industrial loans. 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.
