Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses | NOTE 3 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES A summary of the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 follows (in thousands): March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Commercial real estate $ 360,955 $ 302,322 Consumer real estate 99,952 97,015 Construction and land development 74,007 94,491 Commercial and industrial 420,825 379,620 Consumer 4,495 5,974 Other 43,984 56,796 Total 1,004,218 936,218 Less net unearned income (784 ) (967 ) 1,003,434 935,251 Allowance for loan and lease losses (13,997 ) (11,634 ) $ 989,437 $ 923,617 The adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) is assessed at the end of each quarter. The ALLL includes a specific component related to loans that are individually evaluated for impairment and a general component related to loans that are segregated into homogenous pools and collectively evaluated for impairment. The ALLL factors applied to these pools are an estimate of probable incurred losses based on management’s evaluation of historical net losses from loans with similar characteristics, which are adjusted by management to reflect current events, trends, and conditions. The adjustments include consideration of the following: changes in lending policies and procedures, economic conditions, nature and volume of the portfolio, experience of lending management, volume and severity of past due loans, quality of the loan review system, value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans, concentrations, and other external factors. The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes all commercial loans, and consumer relationships with an outstanding balance greater than $500,000, individually and assigns each loan a risk rating. This analysis is performed on a continual basis by the relationship managers and credit department personnel. On at least an annual basis an independent party performs a formal credit risk review of a sample of the loan portfolio. Among other things, this review assesses the appropriateness of the loan’s risk rating. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Special Mention – A special mention asset possesses deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving of management’s attention. If uncorrected, such weaknesses or deficiencies may expose the Company to an increased risk of loss in the future. Substandard – A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified substandard. Doubtful – A doubtful asset has all weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard, with the added characteristic that weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The probability of loss is extremely high, but certain important and reasonable specific pending factors which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset exist, therefore, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until a more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral, and refinancing plans. Loans not falling into the criteria above are considered to be pass-rated loans. The Company utilizes six loan grades within the pass risk rating.

The following table presents the recorded investment in non-accrual loans and troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) by class of loans as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands): Non-Accrual Troubled Debt Restructurings March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Commercial real estate $ 1,287 $ 1,310 $ 1,256 $ 1,272 Consumer real estate — — — — Construction and land development — — — — Commercial and industrial 12,337 2,309 — — Consumer — — — — Other — — — — Total $ 13,624 $ 3,619 $ 1,256 $ 1,272 As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, all loans classified as nonperforming were deemed to be impaired. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had a recorded investment in TDR of $1.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The Company had no specific allowance for those loans at March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016 and there were no commitments to lend additional amounts. Loans accounted for as TDR include modifications from original terms such as those due to bankruptcy proceedings, certain modifications of amortization periods or extended suspension of principal payments due to customer financial difficulties. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Bank’s loan policy. Loans accounted for as TDR are individually evaluated for impairment. The following table presents loans by class modified as TDR that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2016 (in thousands). There were no TDR identified during the three months ended March 31, 2017.
