Also, the recorded investment excludes accrued interest receivable on loans, which was not significant. Also presented in the table above is the average recorded investment of the impaired loans and the related amount of interest recognized during the time within the period that the impaired loans were impaired. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is not in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, contractual interest is credited to interest income when received under the cash basis method. The average balances are calculated based on the month-end balances of the loans for the period reported. The following table presents the recorded investment in nonaccrual and loans past due over 90 days still on accrual, excluding nonaccrual loans held for sale, by class of loans as of December 31, 2021 and 2020: At December 31, 2021 2020 Loans Past Loans Past Due Over 90 Due Over 90 Days Still Days Still Nonaccrual Accruing Nonaccrual Accruing Residential real estate: Residential first mortgage $ 45,439 $ 39 $ 20,043 $ 46 Residential second mortgage 236 — 686 — Commercial real estate: Retail — — 20 — Hotels/Single-room occupancy hotels 4,441 — 19,945 — Construction 12,499 — 41,873 — Commercial lines of credit: Private banking — — 2,285 — C&I lending — — 1,572 — Total $ 62,615 $ 39 $ 86,424 $ 46 The following tables present the aging of the recorded investment in past due loans as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 by class of loans: 30 ‑ 59 60 ‑ 89 Greater than Days Days 89 Days Total Loans Not December 31, 2021 Past Due Past Due Past Due Past Due Past Due Total Residential real estate: Residential first mortgage $ 24,044 $ 3,425 $ 45,478 $ 72,947 $ 1,617,509 $ 1,690,456 Residential second mortgage 107 — 236 343 13,432 13,775 Commercial real estate: Retail — — — — 19,574 19,574 Multifamily — — — — 96,960 96,960 Office — — — — 12,382 12,382 Hotels/Single-room occupancy hotels — — 4,441 4,441 9,780 14,221 Industrial — — — — 7,320 7,320 Other — — — — 50,783 50,783 Construction 10,500 — 12,499 22,999 83,760 106,759 Commercial lines of credit: Private banking — — — — 116 116 C&I lending — — — — 247 247 Other consumer — — — — 221 221 Total $ 34,651 $ 3,425 $ 62,654 $ 100,730 $ 1,912,084 $ 2,012,814 30 ‑ 59 60 ‑ 89 Greater than Days Days 89 Days Total Loans Not December 31, 2020 Past Due Past Due Past Due Past Due Past Due Total Residential real estate: Residential first mortgage $ 37,819 $ 14,524 $ 20,089 $ 72,432 $ 1,943,602 $ 2,016,034 Residential second mortgage 362 134 686 1,182 16,310 17,492 Commercial real estate: Retail 1,010 — 20 1,030 15,170 16,200 Multifamily 3,835 — — 3,835 75,374 79,209 Office — — — — 27,061 27,061 Hotels/Single-room occupancy hotels — — 19,945 19,945 47,690 67,635 Industrial — — — — 13,186 13,186 Other — — — — 56,667 56,667 Construction 8,593 2,514 41,873 52,980 153,601 206,581 Commercial lines of credit: Private banking — — 2,285 2,285 124 2,409 C&I lending — — 1,572 1,572 2,690 4,262 Other consumer — — — — 7 7 Total $ 51,619 $ 17,172 $ 86,470 $ 155,261 $ 2,351,482 $ 2,506,743 The aging of the loans in the above table as of December 31, 2020 has not been adjusted for customers that were granted a payment deferral in response to COVID-19. These loans have been presented in the aging category that was applicable at the time of payment deferral. Interest continued to accrue on these loans while in forbearance. Refer to —Forbearance Loans for further information. The Company considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the allowance for loan losses. For residential real estate and other consumer loans, the Company also evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan, which is presented above, and by payment activity. The Company reviews the status of nonperforming loans, which include loans 90 days past due and still accruing, and nonaccrual loans. Troubled Debt Restructurings At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the balance of outstanding loans identified as troubled debt restructurings, along with the allocated portion of the allowance for loan losses with respect to these loans, was as follows: At December 31, 2021 2020 Recorded Allowance for Recorded Allowance for Investment Loan Losses Investment Loan Losses Residential real estate, first mortgage $ 181 $ 39 $ 209 $ 41 Commercial real estate: Retail — — 1,029 — Hotels/Single-room occupancy hotels (1) 4,441 — — — Construction 13,678 — 26,985 1,906 Commercial lines of credit, private banking 116 — 124 4 Total $ 18,416 $ 39 $ 28,347 $ 1,951 (1) The recorded investment included in Hotels/Single-room occupancy hotels was in Construction loans at December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no loans that defaulted for which the default occurred within one year of modification. At December 31, 2021, there were five loans totaling $15,752 in default that had been modified as troubled debt restructurings. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the terms of three construction loans and one private banking loan were modified by providing for an extension of the maturity dates at the contract’s existing rate of interest, which is lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. The outstanding recorded investment was $13,777 both before and after modification. Five construction loans, totaling $19,987 as of December 31, 2020, identified as troubled debt restructurings subsequently defaulted. The effect of the defaults on the allowance for loan losses was not significant due to collateral coverage. The terms of certain other loans have been modified during 2021 and 2020 that did not meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring. These other loans that were modified were not considered significant. Forbearance Loans As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company had offered forbearance under the CARES Act to customers facing COVID-19-related financial difficulties. The CARES Act created a forbearance program for impacted borrowers and imposed a temporary 60-day moratorium on foreclosures and foreclosure-related evictions related to federally backed mortgage loans, which included loans secured by a first or subordinate lien on residential one-to-four family real property that have been purchased by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, are insured by HUD or are insured or guaranteed by other listed agencies. Borrowers of such federally backed mortgage loans experiencing a financial hardship as a result of COVID-19 could request forbearance, regardless of delinquency status, for up to 360 days. Subsequently, the federal agencies extended these programs on multiple occasions into late 2021, but they have since expired. The California legislature responded by enacting some statewide eviction protections which are in some cases supplemented by local ordinances, while the New York legislature extended the state’s eviction moratorium until January 2022. Certain provisions of the CARES Act encouraged financial institutions to practice prudent efforts to work with borrowers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Under these provisions, a modification deemed to be COVID-19-related was not considered a troubled debt restructuring if the loan was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 and the deferral was executed between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of 60 days after the date of termination of the COVID-19 national emergency or January 1, 2022. The banking regulators issued similar guidance, which also clarified that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief were not troubled debt restructurings. In this context, the Company implemented a COVID-19 forbearance program that generally provided for principal and interest forbearance for 120 days to residential borrowers with extensions available to qualified borrowers available for up to a maximum deferral period of twelve months, and these loans were not considered troubled debt restructurings. Under the forbearance program, interest continued to accrue at the note rate. At the end of the forbearance period, the borrower’s accrued but unpaid interest was added to their outstanding principal balance while keeping the principal and interest payment at the amount determined in accordance with the terms of the note, thus extending the loan’s maturity date. The terms of commercial loan forbearances were reviewed and determined on a case-by-case basis, and these loans were not considered troubled debt restructurings. The Bank terminated the forbearance program, effective July 31, 2021. Forbearance loans under the COVID-19 forbearance program totaled $15,785 at December 31, 2020. Total accrued interest receivables on these loans were $146 at December 31, 2020. There were no loans at December 31, 2021 under the COVID-19 forbearance program. Foreclosure Proceedings At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the recorded investment of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings are in process totaled $2,780 and $5,320, respectively. Of the loans in formal foreclosure proceedings, $2,770 and $3,209 were included in loans held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and were carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. The balance of loans are classified as held for investment and receive an allocation of the allowance for loan losses consistent with a substandard loan loss allocation rate as these loans were classified as substandard at December 31, 2021 and 2020. Credit Quality 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 loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate and other consumer loans, and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial lines of credit, construction and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed at least quarterly. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Pass: Loans are of satisfactory quality. Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Company’s credit position at some future date. Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the loan. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the risk rating of loans by class of loans was as follows: Special December 31, 2021 Pass Mention Substandard Doubtful Total Residential real estate: Residential first mortgage $ 1,644,974 $ — $ 45,249 $ 233 $ 1,690,456 Residential second mortgage 13,539 — 236 — 13,775 Commercial real estate: Retail 18,846 728 — — 19,574 Multifamily 75,543 8,104 13,313 — 96,960 Office 10,413 — 1,969 — 12,382 Hotels/Single-room occupancy hotels 8,205 — 6,016 — 14,221 Industrial 7,320 — — — 7,320 Other 48,996 1,692 95 — 50,783 Construction 67,254 17,226 16,348 5,931 106,759 Commercial lines of credit: Private banking 116 — — — 116 C&I lending 236 11 — — 247 Other consumer 221 — — — 221 Total $ 1,895,663 $ 27,761 $ 83,226 $ 6,164 $ 2,012,814 Special December 31, 2020 Pass Mention Substandard Doubtful Total Residential real estate: Residential first mortgage $ 1,995,945 $ — $ 19,995 $ 94 $ 2,016,034 Residential second mortgage 16,806 — 686 — 17,492 Commercial real estate: Retail 13,599 1,572 1,029 — 16,200 Multifamily 55,772 14,238 9,199 — 79,209 Office 12,014 1,623 13,424 — 27,061 Hotels/Single-room occupancy hotels 9,115 17,984 40,536 — 67,635 Industrial 5,867 — 7,319 — 13,186 Other 43,193 7,732 5,742 — 56,667 Construction 152,577 14,234 32,850 6,920 206,581 Commercial lines of credit: Private banking 124 2,285 — — 2,409 C&I lending 3,573 — 689 — 4,262 Other consumer 7 — — — 7 Total $ 2,308,592 $ 59,668 $ 131,469 $ 7,014 $ 2,506,743 During the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Bank repurchased pools of Advantage Loan Program loans with a total outstanding principal balance of $173,829 and $69,638, respectively.

For more information on the repurchases of Advantage Loan Program loans, refer to Note 19—Commitments and Contingencies. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Bank sold pools of residential real estate mortgages for $173,382 to third-party investors. The transactions resulted in full de-recognition of the mortgages (i.e., transferred assets) from the consolidated balance sheet and recognition of a gain on sale of portfolio loans of $5,970 for the year ended December 31, 2019. |
