The amounts transferred have been accounted for as sales and are therefore not included in the Company’s accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company and participating lenders share ratably in cash flows and any gains or losses that may result from a borrower’s lack of compliance with contractual terms of the loan. The Company continues to service the loans on behalf of the participating lenders and, as such, collects cash payments from the borrowers, remits payments to participating lenders and disburses required escrow funds to relevant parties. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company was servicing loans for participants aggregating $284.2 million and $195.2 million, respectively. Acquired Loans The loans purchased from Coastway included $5.4 million in purchased credit impaired loans (“PCI”). The PCI loans were primarily residential real estate loans.

No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with impaired loans. Loan modifications and payment deferrals as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that meet the criteria established under Section 4013 of the CARES Act or under applicable interagency guidance of the federal banking regulators are excluded from evaluation of TDR classification and will continue to be reported as current during the payment deferral period. The Company’s policy is to continue to accrue interest during the deferral period. Loans that do not meet the CARES Act or regulatory guidance criteria are evaluated for TDR and non-accrual treatment under the Company’s existing policies and procedures. There were no material TDR loan modifications for the year ended December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2019, there was one material TDR loan modification for a $2.0 million commercial loan. The TDR included an extension of maturity dates, interest only periods, and compliance with specific covenants. There were no material TDR loan modifications during the year ended December 31, 2018. The recorded investment of TDRs was $15.1 million and $20.0 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Of these loans, $3.6 million and $5.0 million were on non-accrual at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. All TDR loans are considered impaired and management performs a discounted cash flow calculation to determine the amount of impairment reserve required on each loan. TDR loans which subsequently default are reviewed to determine if the loan should be deemed collateral dependent. In either case, any reserve required is recorded as part of the allowance for loan losses. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were no significant TDRs that defaulted in the first twelve months of restructure. A default is defined as two or more payments in arrears. As noted above, loan modifications and payment deferrals as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that meet the criteria established under Section 4013 of the CARES Act or under applicable interagency guidance of the federal banking regulators are excluded from evaluation of TDR classification and will continue to be reported as current during the payment deferral period. The Company’s policy is to continue to accrue interest during the deferral period. Loans not meeting the CARES Act or regulatory guidance are evaluated for TDR and non-accrual treatment under the Company’s existing policies and procedures. Loan modifications made pursuant to the CARES Act that were in payment deferral at December 31, 2020 totaled approximately $30.0 million. There were 5 commercial real estate loans that amounted to $26.0 million, 9 commercial and industrial loans that amounted to $811,000, 10 residential mortgage loans that amounted to $2.8 million and 18 consumer loans that amounted to $399,000. Credit Quality Information The Company uses a ten-grade internal loan rating system for commercial real estate, commercial construction and commercial loans, as follows: Loans rated 1 – 6 are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk. Loans rated 7 are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management. Loans rated 8 are considered “substandard.” Generally, a loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged. There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected. Loans rated 9 are considered “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, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable. Loans rated 10 are considered “uncollectible” (loss), and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted. Loans not rated consist primarily of certain smaller balance commercial real estate and commercial loans that are managed by exception. On at least an annual basis, in accordance with the Company’s loan policy, the Company analyzes commercial loans, individually by grading the loans based on credit risk. The loan grades assigned to all commercial loan types are also tested by the Company’s external loan review firm in accordance with the Company’s loan review policy. On a monthly basis, the Company reviews the residential construction, residential real estate and consumer installment portfolios for credit quality primarily through the use of delinquency reports.
