These loans consist of all loans on non-accrual status and other restructured loans whose terms have been modified and classified as troubled debt restructurings. These restructured loans are performing in accordance with their modified terms, and because the Company believes it probable that all amounts due under the modified terms of the agreements will be collected, interest on these loans is being recognized on an accrual basis.

The internal rating system is a series of grades reflecting management’s risk assessment, based on its analysis of the borrower’s financial condition. The “pass” category consists of a range of loan grades that reflect increasing, though still acceptable, risk. Movement of risk through the various grade levels in the “pass” category is monitored for early identification of credit deterioration. The “special mention” rating is applied to loans where the borrower exhibits negative financial trends due to borrower specific or systemic conditions that, if left uncorrected, threaten its capacity to meet its debt obligations. The borrower is believed to have sufficient financial flexibility to react to and resolve its negative financial situation. It is a transitional grade that is closely monitored for improvement or deterioration. The “substandard” rating is applied to loans where the borrower exhibits well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize its continued performance and are of a severity that the distinct possibility of default exists. Loans are placed on “non-accrual” when management does not expect to collect payments consistent with acceptable and agreed upon terms of repayment.

In addition, FICO scores are obtained and updated on a quarterly basis for most of the loans in the Personal Banking portfolio. This is a published credit score designed to measure the risk of default by taking into account various factors from a borrower's financial history. The Bank normally obtains a FICO score at the loan's origination and renewal dates, and updates are obtained on a quarterly basis. Excluded from the table below are certain Personal Banking loans for which FICO scores are not obtained because they generally pertain to commercial customer activities and are often underwritten with other collateral considerations. At June 30, 2016 , these were comprised of $259.7 million in personal real estate loans, or 5.2% of the Personal Banking portfolio, compared to $257.8 million at December 31, 2015 . For the remainder of loans in the Personal Banking portfolio, the table below shows the percentage of balances outstanding at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 by FICO score.

Total restructured loans amounted to $61.5 million at June 30, 2016 . Restructured loans are those extended to borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty and who have been granted a concession. Restructured loans are placed on non-accrual status if the Company does not believe it probable that amounts due under the contractual terms will be collected, and those non-accrual loans totaled $14.8 million at June 30, 2016 . Other performing restructured loans totaled $46.7 million at June 30, 2016 . These include certain business, construction and business real estate loans classified as substandard. Upon maturity, the loans renewed at interest rates judged not to be market rates for new debt with similar risk and as a result the loans were classified as troubled debt restructurings. These commercial loans totaled $30.3 million at June 30, 2016 . These restructured loans are performing in accordance with their modified terms, and because the Company believes it probable that all amounts due under the modified terms of the agreements will be collected, interest on these loans is being recognized on an accrual basis. Troubled debt restructurings also include certain credit card loans under various debt management and assistance programs, which totaled $7.7 million at June 30, 2016 . Modifications to credit card loans generally involve removing the available line of credit, placing loans on amortizing status, and lowering the contractual interest rate. The Company has classified additional loans as troubled debt restructurings because they were not reaffirmed by the borrower in bankruptcy proceedings. At June 30, 2016 , these loans totaled $8.3 million in personal real estate, revolving home equity, and consumer loans. Interest on these loans is being recognized on an accrual basis, as the borrowers are continuing to make payments under the terms of the loan agreements. The following table shows the outstanding balances of loans classified as troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2016 , in addition to the outstanding balances of these restructured loans which the Company considers to have been in default at any time during the past twelve months. For purposes of this disclosure, the Company considers "default" to mean 90 days or more past due as to interest or principal. (In thousands) June 30, 2016 Balance 90 days past due at any time during previous 12 months Commercial: Business $ 35,833 $ — Real estate - construction and land 1,736 — Real estate - business 5,457 — Personal Banking: Real estate - personal 4,823 683 Consumer 5,619 57 Revolving home equity 291 33 Consumer credit card 7,731 504 Total restructured loans $ 61,490 $ 1,277 For those loans on non-accrual status also classified as restructured, the modification did not create any further financial effect on the Company as those loans were already recorded at net realizable value. For those performing commercial loans classified as restructured, there were no concessions involving forgiveness of principal or interest and, therefore, there was no financial impact to the Company as a result of modification to these loans. No financial impact resulted from those performing loans where the debt was not reaffirmed in bankruptcy, as no changes to loan terms occurred in that process. The effects of modifications to consumer credit card loans were estimated to decrease interest income by approximately $970 thousand on an annual, pre-tax basis, compared to amounts contractually owed. The allowance for loan losses related to troubled debt restructurings on non-accrual status is determined by individual evaluation, including collateral adequacy, using the same process as loans on non-accrual status which are not classified as troubled debt restructurings. Those performing loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are accruing loans which management expects to collect under contractual terms. Performing commercial loans have had no other concessions granted other than being renewed at an interest rate judged not to be market. As such, they have similar risk characteristics as non-troubled debt commercial loans and are collectively evaluated based on internal risk rating, loan type, delinquency, historical experience and current economic factors. Performing personal banking loans classified as troubled debt restructurings resulted from the borrower not reaffirming the debt during bankruptcy and have had no other concession granted, other than the Bank's future limitations on collecting payment deficiencies or in pursuing foreclosure actions. As such, they have similar risk characteristics as non-troubled debt personal banking loans and are evaluated collectively based on loan type, delinquency, historical experience and current economic factors. If a troubled debt restructuring defaults and is already on non-accrual status, the allowance for loan losses continues to be based on individual evaluation, using discounted expected cash flows or the fair value of collateral. If an accruing troubled debt restructuring defaults, the loan's risk rating is downgraded to non-accrual status and the loan's related allowance for loan losses is determined based on individual evaluation, or if necessary, the loan is charged off and collection efforts begun. The Company had commitments of $11.6 million at June 30, 2016 to lend additional funds to borrowers with restructured loans. Loans held for sale Beginning January 1, 2015, certain long-term fixed rate personal real estate loan originations have been designated as held for sale, and the Company has elected the fair value option for these loans. The election of the fair value option aligns the accounting for these loans with the related economic hedges discussed in Note 10. At June 30, 2016 , the fair value of these loans was $7.1 million , and the unpaid principal balance was $6.8 million . Beginning in the third quarter of 2015, the Company has designated certain student loan originations as held for sale. The borrowers are credit-worthy students who are attending colleges and universities. The loans are intended to be sold in the secondary market, and the Company maintains contracts with Sallie Mae to sell the loans at various times while the student is attending school or shortly after graduation. At June 30, 2016 , the balance of these loans was $5.3 million . These loans are carried at lower of cost or fair value. In March 2016, the Company designated certain loans secured by automobiles, totaling $50.4 million , as held for sale. This amount approximated nearly 5% of the total auto loan portfolio and was initiated in order to rebalance the auto loan portfolio in relation to the Company's other loan categories. The group of loans held for sale are representative of the overall auto loan portfolio. The loans are being marketed to other financial institutions such as regional banks and credit unions, and in June 2016, loans of $21.8 million were sold and a gain of $114 thousand was recorded, bringing the balance at June 30, 2016 to $20.8 million . These loans are carried at lower of cost or fair value. At June 30, 2016 , none of the loans held for sale were on non-accrual status, and $22 thousand were 90 days past due and still accruing. Interest income with respect to loans held for sale is accrued based on the principal amount outstanding and the loan's contractual interest rate. Gains and losses in fair value resulting from the application of the fair value option, or lower of cost or fair value accounting, are recognized in loan fees and sales in the consolidated statements of income. Foreclosed real estate/repossessed assets The Company’s holdings of foreclosed real estate totaled $1.6 million and $2.8 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. Personal property acquired in repossession, generally autos and marine and recreational vehicles, totaled $2.8 million and $3.3 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. Upon acquisition, these assets are recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. They are subsequently carried at the lower of this cost basis or fair value less estimated selling costs. |
