Loans | LOANS Our loan portfolio consists primarily of loans to borrowers within our principal market area which includes Los Angeles County, Orange County and San Diego County, California. Although we seek to avoid concentrations of loans to a single industry or based upon a single class of collateral, real estate and real estate associated businesses, such as hospitality businesses, are among the principal industries in our market area and, as a result, our loan and collateral portfolios are, to some degree, concentrated in those industries. We also originate SBA loans either for sale to institutional investors or to hold in the loan portfolio. Loans identified as held for sale are carried at the lower of their net carrying value or market value and separately designated as such in the condensed consolidated financial statements. A portion of our revenues are from origination of loans guaranteed by the SBA under its various programs and sale of the guaranteed portions of the loans. Funding for these loans depends on annual appropriations by the U.S. Congress. As of June 30, 2019 , we had certain qualifying loans with an unpaid principal balance of $843.4 million pledged as collateral under a secured borrowing arrangement with the FHLB. See Note 9 – Borrowing Arrangements for additional information regarding the FHLB secured line of credit.

We analyze loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis typically includes larger, non-homogeneous loans such as commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained. We use the following definitions for risk ratings: Pass - Loans classified as pass represent assets with a level of credit quality which contain no well-defined deficiency or weakness. 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 institution’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 debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loss - Loans classified loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.
