As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has allocated $320 thousand and $330 thousand of specific reserves to the loans classified as TDRs, respectively. The Company has not committed to lend any additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs. Modifications made were primarily extensions of existing payment modifications on loans when the loan was previously identified as TDRs. There were no new loans identified as TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020. There were no payment defaults during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, or 2020, of loans that had been modified as TDRs within the previous twelve months. Loan Payment Deferrals : Through September 30, 2021, the Company has processed loan deferments for borrowers across multiple industries representing 225 loan accounts, with an aggregate loan balance of $250.7 million under the interagency guidance and Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). COVID-19 related modifications are generally not classified as TDRs due to the relief under the CARES Act and the interagency guidance, both of which the Company elected to apply. Additionally, the Company’s election to apply the TDR relief provided by the CARES Act and the interagency guidance impacts our regulatory capital ratios as these loan modifications related to COVID-19 are not adjusted to a higher risk-weighting normally required with TDR classification . As of September 30, 2021, 221 loans with an aggregate balance of $244.0 million, including 69 home mortgage loans with an aggregate balance of $30.2 million, have resumed regular payments.

The PPP is intended to provide loans to small businesses to pay expenses related to their employees, rent, mortgage interest, and utilities. The loans may be forgiven conditioned upon the client providing applicable documentation evidencing their compliant with the terms of the program, including compliance regarding the use of funds. The Bank is an approved SBA lender and began accepting applications for the program on April 3, 2020. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had loans outstanding with a carrying value of $69.3 million, which were recorded in the SBA – non-real estate. Since the PPP’s inception through September 30, 2021, we have funded $154.5 million, and $88.8 million of principal forgiveness has been provided on qualifying PPP loans. Credit Quality Indicators : The Company monitor credit quality by evaluating various attributes and utilize such information in the evaluation of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses. 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. For consumer loans, a credit grade is established at inception, and generally only adjusted based on performance. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans according to their credit risk. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: 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 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 as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable, and improbable. Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered to be pass-rated loans.
