Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses | NOTE 8 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES Old National’s finance receivables consist primarily of loans made to consumers and commercial clients in various industries including manufacturing, agribusiness, transportation, mining, wholesaling, and retailing. Most of Old National’s lending activity occurs within our principal geographic markets of Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Old National has no concentration of commercial or commercial real estate loans in any single industry exceeding 10% of its portfolio. The composition of loans by lending classification was as follows: June 30, December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2016 2015 Commercial (1) $ 1,893,700 $ 1,804,615 Commercial real estate: Construction 263,496 185,449 Other 2,680,029 1,662,372 Residential real estate 2,099,770 1,644,614 Consumer credit: Heloc 473,550 359,954 Auto 1,145,198 1,050,336 Other 274,415 133,478 Covered loans — 107,587 Total loans 8,830,158 6,948,405 Allowance for loan losses (51,804 ) (51,296 ) Allowance for loan losses - covered loans — (937 ) Net loans $ 8,778,354 $ 6,896,172 (1) Includes direct finance leases of $12.7 million at June 30, 2016 and $14.4 million at December 31, 2015. The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows: Commercial Commercial loans are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers. Commercial real estate These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing Old National’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type and geographic location. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans. Included with commercial real estate are construction loans, which are underwritten utilizing independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates, financial analysis of the developers and property owners, and feasibility studies, if available. Construction loans are generally based on estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from Old National until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions, and the availability of long-term financing. Residential With respect to residential loans that are secured by 1-4 family residences and are generally owner occupied, Old National typically establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires private mortgage insurance if that ratio is exceeded. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in residential property values. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers. Consumer Home equity loans are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1-4 family residences, and consumer loans are secured by consumer assets such as automobiles or recreational vehicles. We assumed student loans in the acquisition of Anchor in May 2016. As of June 30, 2016, student loans totaled $83.3 million and are guaranteed by the government on average from 97% to 100%. Some consumer loans are unsecured such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in residential property or other collateral values. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers. Covered loans Old National entered into an agreement with the FDIC on June 22, 2016 to terminate its loss share agreements. As a result of the termination of the loss share agreements, the remaining loans that were covered by the loss share arrangements were reclassified to noncovered loans effective June 22, 2016. All future gains and losses associated with covered loans will be recognized entirely by Old National. Prior to the termination of the loss share agreements, certain loans acquired from the FDIC were classified as covered loans. Covered loans were subject to loss share agreements whereby Old National was indemnified against 80% of losses up to $275.0 million, losses in excess of $275.0 million up to $467.2 million at 0% reimbursement, and 80% of losses in excess of $467.2 million. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for further details on our covered loans. Allowance for loan losses The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable losses incurred in the consolidated loan portfolio. Management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is an estimate based on reviews of individual loans, pools of homogeneous loans, assessments of the impact of current and anticipated economic conditions on the portfolio, and historical loss experience. The allowance is increased through a provision charged to operating expense. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance. Recoveries of loans previously charged-off are added to the allowance. We utilize a probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) model as a tool to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses for performing commercial and commercial real estate loans. The PD is forecast using a transition matrix to determine the likelihood of a customer’s asset quality rating (“AQR”) migrating from its current AQR to any other status within the time horizon. Transition rates are measured using Old National’s own historical experience. The model assumes that recent historical transition rates will continue into the future. The LGD is defined as credit loss incurred when an obligor of the bank defaults. The sum of all net charge-offs for a particular portfolio segment are divided by all loans that have defaulted over a given period of time. The expected loss derived from the model considers the PD, LGD, and exposure at default. Additionally, qualitative factors, such as changes in lending policies or procedures, and economic business conditions are also considered. We use historic loss ratios adjusted for economic conditions to determine the appropriate level of allowance for residential real estate and consumer loans. No allowance was brought forward on any of the acquired loans as any credit deterioration evident in the loans was included in the determination of the fair value of the loans at the acquisition date. An allowance for loan losses will be established for any subsequent credit deterioration or adverse changes in expected cash flows. Old National’s activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows: Commercial (dollars in thousands) Commercial Real Estate Residential Consumer Unallocated Total Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 Balance at April 1, 2016 $ 25,121 $ 15,771 $ 1,749 $ 8,059 $ — $ 50,700 Charge-offs (432 ) (783 ) (80 ) (1,382 ) — (2,677 ) Recoveries 876 547 187 852 — 2,462 Provision (1,409 ) 2,673 (397 ) 452 — 1,319 Balance at June 30, 2016 $ 24,156 $ 18,208 $ 1,459 $ 7,981 $ — $ 51,804 Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Balance at April 1, 2015 $ 24,703 $ 13,807 $ 2,919 $ 7,449 $ — $ 48,878 Charge-offs (1,872 ) (514 ) (22 ) (1,494 ) — (3,902 ) Recoveries 789 1,009 59 1,087 — 2,944 Provision (186 ) 2,023 (375 ) 809 — 2,271 Balance at June 30, 2015 $ 23,434 $ 16,325 $ 2,581 $ 7,851 $ — $ 50,191 Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Balance at January 1, 2016 $ 26,347 $ 15,993 $ 2,051 $ 7,842 $ — $ 52,233 Charge-offs (1,959 ) (1,062 ) (220 ) (3,378 ) — (6,619 ) Recoveries 1,694 1,387 213 1,486 — 4,780 Provision (1,926 ) 1,890 (585 ) 2,031 — 1,410 Balance at June 30, 2016 $ 24,156 $ 18,208 $ 1,459 $ 7,981 $ — $ 51,804 Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Balance at January 1, 2015 $ 20,670 $ 17,348 $ 2,962 $ 6,869 $ — $ 47,849 Charge-offs (2,421 ) (101 ) (396 ) (3,098 ) — (6,016 ) Recoveries 2,564 1,473 87 1,962 — 6,086 Provision 2,621 (2,395 ) (72 ) 2,118 — 2,272 Balance at June 30, 2015 $ 23,434 $ 16,325 $ 2,581 $ 7,851 $ — $ 50,191 The following table provides Old National’s recorded investment in financing receivables by portfolio segment at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and other information regarding the allowance: Commercial (dollars in thousands) Commercial Real Estate Residential Consumer Unallocated Total June 30, 2016 Allowance for loan losses: Individually evaluated for impairment $ 7,489 $ 3,949 $ — $ — $ — $ 11,438 Collectively evaluated for impairment 16,374 14,082 1,446 7,781 — 39,683 Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality 293 177 13 200 — 683 Total allowance for loan losses $ 24,156 $ 18,208 $ 1,459 $ 7,981 $ — $ 51,804 Loans and leases outstanding: Individually evaluated for impairment $ 52,132 $ 60,359 $ — $ — $ — $ 112,491 Collectively evaluated for impairment 1,839,760 2,830,350 2,084,652 1,882,832 — 8,637,594 Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality 1,808 52,816 15,118 10,331 — 80,073 Total loans and leases outstanding $ 1,893,700 $ 2,943,525 $ 2,099,770 $ 1,893,163 $ — $ 8,830,158 December 31, 2015 Allowance for loan losses: Individually evaluated for impairment $ 7,467 $ 4,021 $ — $ — $ — $ 11,488 Collectively evaluated for impairment 18,295 11,439 2,038 7,614 — 39,386 Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality 247 533 13 70 — 863 Covered loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality 338 — — 158 — 496 Total allowance for loan losses $ 26,347 $ 15,993 $ 2,051 $ 7,842 $ — $ 52,233 Loans and leases outstanding: Individually evaluated for impairment $ 60,959 $ 41,987 $ — $ — $ — $ 102,946 Collectively evaluated for impairment 1,750,397 1,779,062 1,644,631 1,590,288 — 6,764,378 Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality 691 28,499 127 3,925 — 33,242 Covered loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality 2,893 19,424 16,577 8,945 — 47,839 Total loans and leases outstanding $ 1,814,940 $ 1,868,972 $ 1,661,335 $ 1,603,158 $ — $ 6,948,405 Credit Quality Old National’s management monitors the credit quality of its financing receivables in an on-going manner. Internally, management assigns an asset quality rating (“AQR”) to each non-homogeneous commercial and commercial real estate loan in the portfolio. The primary determinants of the AQR are based upon the reliability of the primary source of repayment and the past, present, and projected financial condition of the borrower. The AQR will also consider current industry conditions. Major factors used in determining the AQR can vary based on the nature of the loan, but commonly include factors such as debt service coverage, internal cash flow, liquidity, leverage, operating performance, debt burden, FICO scores, occupancy, interest rate sensitivity, and expense burden. Old National uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Criticized Classified – Substandard Classified – Nonaccrual Classified – Doubtful Pass rated loans are those loans that are other than criticized, classified – substandard, classified—nonaccrual or classified – doubtful. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the risk category of commercial and commercial real estate loans by class of loans is as follows: (dollars in thousands) Commercial Commercial Real Estate - Real Estate - Corporate Credit Exposure Commercial Construction Other Credit Risk Profile by June 30, December 31, June 30, December 31, June 30, December 31, Internally Assigned Grade 2016 2015 (1) 2016 2015 (1) 2016 2015 (1) Grade: Pass $ 1,774,857 $ 1,672,672 $ 256,427 $ 182,701 $ 2,484,795 $ 1,508,309 Criticized 38,867 55,570 4,014 3,300 64,005 75,477 Classified - substandard 25,422 24,723 1,572 1,857 56,982 49,091 Classified - nonaccrual 52,226 58,469 1,483 830 64,338 39,521 Classified - doubtful 2,328 3,506 — — 9,909 7,886 Total $ 1,893,700 $ 1,814,940 $ 263,496 $ 188,688 $ 2,680,029 $ 1,680,284 (1) Includes loans previously covered by loss share agreements with the FDIC. Other commercial real estate as of June 30, 2016 in the table above includes loans attributable to the acquisition of Anchor totaling $9.4 million in the criticized category, $3.6 million in the classified – substandard category, and $24.8 million in the classified – nonaccrual category. Old National considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the allowance for loan losses. For residential and consumer loan classes, Old National also evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan and by payment activity. The following table presents the recorded investment in residential and consumer loans based on payment activity as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015: Residential Consumer (dollars in thousands) Heloc Auto Other June 30, 2016 Performing $ 2,082,585 $ 469,711 $ 1,143,932 $ 266,649 Nonperforming 17,185 3,839 1,266 7,766 Total $ 2,099,770 $ 473,550 $ 1,145,198 $ 274,415 December 31, 2015 (1) Performing $ 1,645,293 $ 410,243 $ 1,048,763 $ 138,031 Nonperforming 16,042 3,051 1,573 1,497 Total $ 1,661,335 $ 413,294 $ 1,050,336 $ 139,528 (1) Includes loans previously covered by loss share agreements with the FDIC. Other consumer loans as of June 30, 2016 in the table above includes loans attributable to the acquisition of Anchor totaling $6.1 million in the nonperforming category, the majority of which are student loans that are guaranteed by the government on average from 97% to 100%. Impaired Loans Large commercial credits are subject to individual evaluation for impairment. Retail credits and other small balance credits that are part of a homogeneous group are not tested for individual impairment unless they are modified as a troubled debt restructuring. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that contractual interest and principal payments will not be collected either for the amounts or by the dates as scheduled in the loan agreement. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Old National’s policy, for all but purchased credit impaired loans, is to recognize interest income on impaired loans unless the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. The following table shows Old National’s impaired loans as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Only purchased loans that have experienced subsequent impairment since the date acquired are included in the table below.

(2) Does not include $4.7 million of loans that were previously covered by loss share agreements with the FDIC. For all loan classes, a loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest becomes 90 days past due unless it is well secured and in the process of collection, or earlier when concern exists as to the ultimate collectibility of principal or interest. Interest accrued during the current year on such loans is reversed against earnings. Interest accrued in the prior year, if any, is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Cash interest received on these loans is applied to the principal balance until the principal is recovered or until the loan returns to accrual status. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, remain current for a prescribed period, and future payments are reasonably assured. Loans accounted for under FASB ASC Topic 310-30 accrue interest, even though they may be contractually past due, as any nonpayment of contractual principal or interest is considered in the periodic re-estimation of expected cash flows and is included in the resulting recognition of current period loan loss provision or prospective yield adjustments. Old National’s past due financing receivables as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows: (dollars in thousands) 30-59 Days 60-89 Days Recorded Nonaccrual Total Past Current June 30, 2016 Commercial $ 496 $ 227 $ 175 $ 54,554 $ 55,452 $ 1,838,248 Commercial Real Estate: Construction — — — 1,483 1,483 262,013 Other 1,779 — — 74,247 76,026 2,604,003 Residential 14,221 1,726 101 17,185 33,233 2,066,537 Consumer: Heloc 1,286 220 240 3,839 5,585 467,965 Auto 2,962 684 104 1,266 5,016 1,140,182 Other 7,251 3,119 50 7,766 18,186 256,229 Total loans $ 27,995 $ 5,976 $ 670 $ 160,340 $ 194,981 $ 8,635,177 December 31, 2015 Commercial $ 802 $ 100 $ 565 $ 57,536 $ 59,003 $ 1,745,612 Commercial Real Estate: Construction — — — 749 749 184,700 Other 438 135 — 46,601 47,174 1,615,198 Residential 9,300 2,246 114 14,953 26,613 1,618,001 Consumer: Heloc 283 402 — 2,369 3,054 356,900 Auto 3,804 730 202 1,573 6,309 1,044,027 Other 830 165 25 1,256 2,276 131,202 Covered loans 809 312 10 7,336 8,467 99,120 Total loans $ 16,266 $ 4,090 $ 916 $ 132,373 $ 153,645 $ 6,794,760 Loan Participations Old National has loan participations, which qualify as participating interests, with other financial institutions. At June 30, 2016, these loans totaled $392.2 million, of which $209.6 million had been sold to other financial institutions and $182.6 million was retained by Old National. The loan participations convey proportionate ownership rights with equal priority to each participating interest holder, involve no recourse (other than ordinary representations and warranties) to, or subordination by, any participating interest holder, all cash flows are divided among the participating interest holders in proportion to each holder’s share of ownership, and no holder has the right to pledge the entire financial asset unless all participating interest holders agree. Troubled Debt Restructurings Old National may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. The decision to restructure a loan, versus aggressively enforcing the collection of the loan, may benefit Old National by increasing the ultimate probability of collection. Any loans that are modified are reviewed by Old National to identify if a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) has occurred, which is when for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with its current financial status. The modification of the terms of such loans include one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan, an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate of new debt with similar risk, or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment of the loan. Loans modified in a TDR are typically placed on nonaccrual status until we determine the future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured, which generally requires that the borrower demonstrate a period of performance according to the restructured terms for six months. If we are unable to resolve a nonperforming loan issue, the credit will be charged off when it is apparent there will be a loss. For large commercial type loans, each relationship is individually analyzed for evidence of apparent loss based on quantitative benchmarks or subjectively based upon certain events or particular circumstances. Old National charges off small commercial loans scored through our small business credit center with contractual balances under $250,000 that have been placed on nonaccrual status or became 90 days or more delinquent, without regard to the collateral position. For residential and consumer loans, a charge off is recorded at the time foreclosure is initiated or when the loan becomes 120 to 180 days past due, whichever is earlier. For commercial TDRs, an allocated reserve is established within the allowance for loan losses for the difference between the carrying value of the loan and its computed value. To determine the value of the loan, one of the following methods is selected: (1) the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, (2) the loan’s observable market price, or (3) the fair value of the collateral value, if the loan is collateral dependent. The allocated reserve is established as the difference between the carrying value of the loan and the collectable value. If there are significant changes in the amount or timing of the loan’s expected future cash flows, impairment is recalculated and the valuation allowance is adjusted accordingly. When a residential or consumer loan is identified as a troubled debt restructuring, the loan is typically written down to its collateral value less selling costs. The following table presents activity in TDRs for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015: (dollars in thousands) Commercial Commercial Residential Consumer Total Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Balance at January 1, 2016 $ 23,354 $ 14,602 $ 2,693 $ 3,602 $ 44,251 (Charge-offs)/recoveries (742 ) 108 42 (23 ) (615 ) Payments (10,819 ) (4,035 ) (462 ) (425 ) (15,741 ) Additions 11,233 10,581 335 385 22,534 Other 1,251 173 — — 1,424 Balance at June 30, 2016 $ 24,277 $ 21,429 $ 2,608 $ 3,539 $ 51,853 Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Balance at January 1, 2015 $ 15,205 $ 15,226 $ 2,063 $ 2,459 $ 34,953 (Charge-offs)/recoveries 574 648 (15 ) (27 ) 1,180 Payments (3,505 ) (3,135 ) (85 ) (320 ) (7,045 ) Additions 5,573 3,321 419 681 9,994 Balance at June 30, 2015 $ 17,847 $ 16,060 $ 2,382 $ 2,793 $ 39,082 Approximately $38.1 million of the TDRs at June 30, 2016 were included with nonaccrual loans, compared to $30.0 million at December 31, 2015. Old National has allocated specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in TDRs totaling $5.6 million at June 30, 2016 and $2.3 million at December 31, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, Old National had committed to lend an additional $4.2 million to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs. The pre-modification and post-modification outstanding recorded investments of loans modified as TDRs during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are the same except for when the loan modifications involve the forgiveness of principal. The following table presents loans by class modified as TDRs that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015: (dollars in thousands) Number of Loans Pre-modification Post-modification Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Troubled Debt Restructuring: Commercial 16 $ 11,233 $ 10,681 Commercial Real Estate - Other 9 10,581 10,581 Residential 3 335 335 Consumer 8 385 385 Total 36 $ 22,534 $ 21,982 Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Troubled Debt Restructuring: Commercial 18 $ 5,573 $ 5,573 Commercial Real Estate - Construction 5 1,162 1,162 Commercial Real Estate - Other 14 2,159 2,159 Residential 3 419 419 Consumer 18 681 681 Total 58 $ 9,994 $ 9,994 The TDRs that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased the allowance for loan losses by $1.2 million due to an improvement in specific reserves on a large commercial loan and resulted in $0.6 million of charge-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The TDRs that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2015 resulted in immaterial changes in the allowance for loan losses and charge-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2015. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. There were 10 commercial loans and 3 commercial real estate loans totaling $0.8 million that were modified as TDRs within the preceding twelve months, and for which there was a payment default during the six months ended June 30, 2016. There were three commercial loans and four commercial real estate loans totaling $0.5 million that were modified as TDRs within the preceding twelve months, and for which there was a payment default during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The terms of certain other loans were modified during the six months ended June 30, 2016 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. It is our process to review all classified and criticized loans that, during the period, have been renewed, have entered into a forbearance agreement, have gone from principal and interest to interest only, or have extended the maturity date. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. The evaluation is performed under our internal underwriting policy. We also evaluate whether a concession has been granted or if we were adequately compensated through a market interest rate, additional collateral or a bona fide guarantee. We also consider whether the modification was insignificant relative to the other terms of the agreement or the delay in a payment. PCI loans are not considered impaired until after the point at which there has been a degradation of cash flows below our expected cash flows at acquisition. If a PCI loan is subsequently modified, and meets the definition of a TDR, it will be removed from PCI accounting and accounted for as a TDR only if the PCI loan was being accounted for individually. If the purchased credit impaired loan is being accounted for as part of a pool, it will not be removed from the pool. As of June 30, 2016, it has not been necessary to remove any loans from PCI accounting. In general, once a modified loan is considered a TDR, the loan will always be considered a TDR, and therefore impaired, until it is paid in full, otherwise settled, sold or charged off. However, guidance also permits for loans to be removed from TDR status when subsequently restructured under these circumstances: (1) at the time of the subsequent restructuring, the borrower is not experiencing financial difficulties, and this is documented by a current credit evaluation at the time of the restructuring, (2) under the terms of the subsequent restructuring agreement, the institution has granted no concession to the borrower; and (3) the subsequent restructuring agreement includes market terms that are no less favorable than those that would be offered for a comparable new loan. For loans subsequently restructured that have cumulative principal forgiveness, the loan should continue to be measured in accordance with ASC 310-10, “Receivables – Overall”. However, consistent with ASC 310-40-50-2, “Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, Creditor Disclosure of Troubled Debt Restructurings,” the loan would not be required to be reported in the years following the restructuring if the subsequent restructuring meets both of these criteria: (1) has an interest rate at the time of the subsequent restructuring that is not less than a market interest rate; and (2) is performing in compliance with its modified terms after the subsequent restructuring. Purchased Credit Impaired Loans (“PCI”) Purchased loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan and lease losses. In determining the estimated fair value of purchased loans, management considers a number of factors including, among others, the remaining life of the acquired loans, estimated prepayments, estimated loss ratios, estimated value of the underlying collateral, and net present value of cash flows expected to be received. Purchased loans are accounted for in accordance with guid |
