Allowance for credit losses on loans The level of the ACLL is based on factors that influence management’s current estimate of expected credit losses including past events and current conditions. Consistent with previous periods, the Company has determined the Stagflation forecast scenario to be appropriate for the March 31, 2023 ACLL calculation. The Company selected the stagflation economic forecast for credit losses as management expects that markets will experience a slight decline in economic conditions and a slight increase in the unemployment rate over the next two years.

On at least an annual basis, the Company’s loan grading process analyzes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial loans and commercial real estate loans, individually by grading the loans based on credit risk. The loan grades assigned to all loan types are tested by the Company’s internal loan review department in accordance with the Company’s internal loan review policy. The Company uses the following definitions for classified loans: 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 classified as such have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. 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 loans 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. For homogeneous loan pools, such as residential mortgages, home equity lines of credit, and installment loans, the Company uses payment status to identify the credit risk in these loan portfolios. Payment status is reviewed on a daily basis by the Bank’s collection area and on a monthly basis with respect to determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses on loans. The payment status of these homogeneous pools as of March 31, 2023 is also included in the aging of the past due loans table. Nonperforming loans shown in the table below were loans on nonaccrual status and loans over 90 days past due and accruing. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans, and gross charge-offs for each loan type by origination year was as follows: (in thousands) As of March 31, 2023 Term Loans Amortized Cost Basis by Origination Year Commercial : 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 Prior Revolving Loans Amortized Cost Basis Revolving Loan Converted to Term Total Risk rating Pass $ 14,677 $ 82,642 $ 29,717 $ 18,227 $ 21,718 $ 45,613 $ 8,516 $ -

Interest income recognized on loans that are individually evaluated was not material during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 . As of March 31, 2023 and 2022 loans individually evaluated included approximately $8.8 million and $9.8 million, respectively, of loans in accruing status that were identified as loan modifications in accordance with regulatory guidance related to Chapter 7 bankruptcy loans. Pursuant to the adoption of ASU 2022-02 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Troubled Debt Restructuring and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”) a borrower that is experiencing financial difficulty and receives a modification in the form of principal forgiveness, interest rate reduction, an other-than-insignificant payment delay or a term extension in the current period needs to be disclosed. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no loan modifications provided to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, the company accounted for loan modifications as Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) and the following table presents, by class, loans that were modified as TDR’s for the three months ended March 31, 2022: Three months ended March 31, 2022 New York and other states*: Pre-Modification Post-Modification Outstanding Outstanding Number of Recorded Recorded (dollars in thousands) Contracts Investment Investment Commercial: Commercial real estate - $ - - Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages - - - Home equity loans 3 370 370 Home equity lines of credit - - - Total 3 $ 370 370 Florida: Pre-Modification Post-Modification Outstanding Outstanding Number of Recorded Recorded (dollars in thousands) Contracts Investment Investment Commercial: Commercial real estate - $ - - Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family: First mortgages - - - Home equity loans - - - Home equity lines of credit - - - Total - $ - - * Includes New York, New Jersey, Vermont and Massachusetts. The addition of these TDR’s did not have a significant impact on the allowance for credit losses on loans. The nature of the modifications that resulted in them being classified as a TDR was the borrower filing for bankruptcy protection. There were no loans that defaulted during the months ended March and which had been classified as a loan modification within the months. In situations where the Bank considers a loan modification, management determines whether the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty by performing an evaluation of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s underwriting policy. Generally, the modification of the terms of loans was the result of the borrower filing for bankruptcy protection. Chapter bankruptcies generally include the deferral of all past due amounts for a period of generally in accordance with the bankruptcy court order. In the case of Chapter bankruptcies even though there is no modification of terms, the borrowers’ debt to the Company was discharged and they did not reaffirm the debt. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is contractually past due under the modified terms. In situations involving a borrower filing for Chapter bankruptcy protection, however, a loan is considered to be in payment default once it is contractually past due, consistent with the treatment by the bankruptcy court. |
