Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses | NOTE 3 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES A summary of the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 follows (in thousands): March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Commercial real estate $ 574,001 $ 550,446 Consumer real estate 248,943 253,562 Construction and land development 162,237 174,670 Commercial and industrial 419,941 404,600 Consumer 26,241 25,615 Other 36,423 20,901 Total 1,467,786 1,429,794 Allowance for loan losses (12,959 ) (12,113 ) $ 1,454,827 $ 1,417,681 The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is assessed at the end of each quarter. The ALL 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 ALL 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 tables present the loan balances by category as well as risk rating (in thousands): Non-impaired Loans March 31, 2019 Pass Special Mention Substandard Total Non-impaired Total Loans Total Commercial real estate $ 571,234 $ 173 $ 1,223 $ 572,630 $ 1,371 $ 574,001 Consumer real estate 244,890 1,753 1,347 247,990 953 248,943 Construction and land development 162,160 51 18 162,229 8 162,237 Commercial and industrial 402,650 8,537 7,298 418,485 1,456 419,941 Consumer 26,183 1 10 26,194 47 26,241 Other 36,423 — — 36,423 — 36,423 Total $ 1,443,540 $ 10,515 $ 9,896 $ 1,463,951 $ 3,835 $ 1,467,786 December 31, 2018 Commercial real estate $ 547,616 $ 177 $ 1,262 $ 549,055 $ 1,391 $ 550,446 Consumer real estate 249,273 1,676 1,691 252,640 922 253,562 Construction and land development 174,591 52 19 174,662 8 174,670 Commercial and industrial 388,719 7,790 6,545 403,054 1,546 404,600 Consumer 25,556 1 27 25,584 31 25,615 Other 20,901 — — 20,901 — 20,901 Total $ 1,406,656 $ 9,696 $ 9,544 $ 1,425,896 $ 3,898 $ 1,429,794 None of the Company’s loans had a risk rating of “Doubtful” as of March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had a recorded investment in TDR of $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The Company had no specific allowance for those loans at March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018 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. There were no TDR identified during the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018. There were no TDR for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification during the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms. |
