LOANS | LOANS The following table presents the composition of loans segregated by legacy and purchased loans and by class of loans, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Purchased loans are defined as loans that were acquired in bank acquisitions.

Commercial and agricultural loans are extended to a diverse group of businesses within the Company’s market area. These loans are often underwritten based on the borrower’s ability to service the debt from income from the business. Real estate construction loans often require loan funds to be advanced prior to completion of the project. Due to uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs, changes in interest rates and other economic conditions, these loans often pose a higher risk than other types of loans. Consumer loans are originated at the bank level. These loans are generally smaller loan amounts spread across many individual borrowers to help minimize risk. Credit Quality Indicators. As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (1) the risk grade assigned to commercial and consumer loans, (2) the level of classified commercial loans, (3) net charge-offs, (4) nonperforming loans, and (5) the general economic conditions in the Company’s geographic markets. The Company uses a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 8. A description of the general characteristics of the grades is as follows: • Grades 1 and 2 - Borrowers with these assigned grades range in risk from virtual absence of risk to minimal risk. Such loans may be secured by Company-issued and controlled certificates of deposit or properly margined equity securities or bonds. Other loans comprising these grades are made to companies that have been in existence for a long period of time with many years of consecutive profits and strong equity, good liquidity, excellent debt service ability and unblemished past performance, or to exceptionally strong individuals with collateral of unquestioned value that fully secures the loans. Loans in this category fall into the “pass” classification. • Grades 3 and 4 - Loans assigned these “pass” risk grades are made to borrowers with acceptable credit quality and risk. The risk ranges from loans with no significant weaknesses in repayment capacity and collateral protection to acceptable loans with one or more risk factors considered to be more than average. • Grade 5 - This grade includes “special mention” loans on management’s watch list and is intended to be used on a temporary basis for pass grade loans where risk-modifying action is intended in the short-term. • Grade 6 - This grade includes “substandard” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines. This category includes borrowers with well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the payment of the debt in accordance with the agreed terms. Loans considered to be impaired are assigned this grade, and these loans often have assigned loss allocations as part of the allowance for loan and lease losses. Generally, loans on which interest accrual has been stopped would be included in this grade. • Grades 7 and 8 - These grades correspond to regulatory classification definitions of “doubtful” and “loss,” respectively. In practice, any loan with these grades would be for a very short period of time, and generally the Company has no loans with these assigned grades. Management manages the Company’s problem loans in such a way that uncollectible loans or uncollectible portions of loans are charged off immediately with any residual, collectible amounts assigned a risk grade of 6. The following tables present the loan portfolio, excluding purchased loans, by credit quality indicator (risk grade) as of December 31, 2020. Those loans with a risk grade of 1, 2, 3 or 4 have been combined in the pass column for presentation purposes. For the periods ending December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any loans classified as “doubtful” or a “loss”.

Loan risk grades are subject to reassessment at various times throughout the year as part of the Company’s ongoing loan review process. Loans with an assigned risk grade of 6 or below and an outstanding balance of $250,000 or more are reassessed on a quarterly basis. During this reassessment process individual reserves may be identified and placed against certain loans which are not considered impaired. In assessing the overall economic condition of the markets in which it operates, the Company monitors the unemployment rates for its major service areas. The unemployment rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis as part of the allowance for loan loss determination. Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Generally, loans are placed on nonaccrual status if principal or interest payments become 90 days past due or when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provision. Loans may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether such loans are considered past due. The following table represents an age analysis of past due loans and nonaccrual loans, segregated by class of loans, excluding purchased loans, as of December 31, 2020: Accruing Loans (dollars in thousands) 30-89 Days 90 Days Total Accruing Nonaccrual Current Loans Total Loans Construction, land & land development $ 1,314 $ — $ 1,314 $ 80 $ 108,183 $ 109,577 Other commercial real estate 229 — 229 2,545 474,671 477,445 Total commercial real estate 1,543 — 1,543 2,625 582,854 587,022 Residential real estate 667 — 667 2,873 164,174 167,714 Commercial, financial, & agricultural 150 — 150 1,010 199,640 200,800 Consumer & other 48 — 48 102 18,887 19,037 Total loans $ 2,408 $ — $ 2,408 $ 6,610 $ 965,555 $ 974,573 The following table represents an age analysis of past due loans and nonaccrual loans, segregated by class of loans, for purchased loans, as of December 31, 2020: Accruing Loans (dollars in thousands) 30-89 Days 90 Days Total Accruing Nonaccrual Current Loans Total Loans Construction, land & land development $ — $ — $ — $ 117 $ 11,399 $ 11,516 Other commercial real estate 544 — 544 2,068 40,334 42,946 Total commercial real estate 544 — 544 2,185 51,733 54,462 Residential real estate 15 — 15 85 15,207 15,307 Commercial, financial, & agricultural 125 — 125 55 12,400 12,580 Consumer & other — — — 193 2,388 2,581 Total loans $ 684 $ — $ 684 $ 2,518 $ 81,728 $ 84,930 The following table represents an age analysis of past due loans and nonaccrual loans, segregated by class of loans, excluding purchased loans, as of December 31, 2019: Accruing Loans (dollars in thousands) 30-89 Days 90 Days Total Accruing Nonaccrual Current Loans Total Loans Construction, land & land development $ 50 $ — $ 50 $ 32 $ 82,954 $ 83,036 Other commercial real estate 335 — 335 3,738 477,870 481,943 Total commercial real estate 385 — 385 3,770 560,824 564,979 Residential real estate 1,296 — 1,296 3,643 166,402 171,341 Commercial, financial, & agricultural 212 — 212 1,628 89,695 91,535 Consumer & other 21 — 21 138 19,086 19,245 Total loans $ 1,914 $ — $ 1,914 $ 9,179 $ 836,007 $ 847,100 The following table represents an age analysis of past due loans and nonaccrual loans, segregated by class of loans, for purchased loans, as of December 31, 2019: Accruing Loans (dollars in thousands) 30-89 Days 90 Days Total Accruing Nonaccrual Current Loans Total Loans Construction, land & land development $ — $ — $ — $ 96 $ 12,965 $ 13,061 Other commercial real estate 83 — 83 34 58,179 58,296 Total commercial real estate 83 — 83 130 71,144 71,357 Residential real estate 57 — 57 85 23,313 23,455 Commercial, financial, & agricultural 553 — 553 433 21,839 22,825 Consumer & other 8 — 8 — 4,069 4,077 Total loans $ 701 $ — $ 701 $ 648 $ 120,365 $ 121,714 The following table details impaired loan data, including purchased credit impaired loans, as of December 31, 2020: (dollars in thousands) Unpaid Recorded Related Average With No Related Allowance Recorded Construction, land & land development $ 6,969 $ 6,982 $ — $ 2,841 Other commercial real estate 11,978 11,105 — 12,190 Residential real estate 1,140 1,122 — 2,142 Commercial, financial & agricultural 42 40 — 203 Consumer & other — — — — Total Impaired Loans with no Allowance 20,129 19,249 — 17,376 With An Allowance Recorded Construction, land & land development — — — — Other commercial real estate 6,292 6,325 1,436 5,945 Residential real estate 1,274 1,230 226 703 Commercial, financial & agricultural 310 310 263 1,118 Consumer & other — — — — Total Impaired Loans with Allowance 7,876 7,865 1,925 7,766 Purchased Credit Impaired Loans Construction, land & land development 118 94 — 96 Other commercial real estate — — — 63 Residential real estate 14 11 4 13 Commercial, financial & agricultural 55 46 — 49 Consumer & other 192 96 81 113 Total Purchased Credit Impaired Loans 379 247 85 334 Total Construction, land & land development 7,087 7,076 — 2,937 Other commercial real estate 18,270 17,430 1,436 18,198 Residential real estate 2,428 2,363 230 2,858 Commercial, financial & agricultural 407 396 263 1,370 Consumer & other 192 96 81 113 $ 28,384 $ 27,361 $ 2,010 $ 25,476 Interest income recorded on impaired loans during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $761,000, and reflects interest income recorded on nonaccrual loans prior to them being placed on nonaccrual status and interest income recorded on TDRs.

Had nonaccrual loans performed in accordance with their original contractual terms, the Company would have recognized additional interest income of approximately $221,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) are troubled loans on which the original terms of the loan have been modified in favor of the borrower due to deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition. Each potential loan modification is reviewed individually and the terms of the loan are modified to meet the borrower’s specific circumstances at a point in time. Not all loan modifications are TDRs. Loan modifications are reviewed and approved by the Company’s senior lending staff, who then determine whether the loan meets the criteria for a TDR. Generally, the types of concessions granted to borrowers that are evaluated in determining whether a loan is classified as a TDR include: • Interest rate reductions - Occur when the stated interest rate is reduced to a nonmarket rate or a rate the borrower would not be able to obtain elsewhere under similar circumstances. • Amortization or maturity date changes - Result when the amortization period of the loan is extended beyond what is considered a normal amortization period for loans of similar type with similar collateral. • Principal reductions - These are often the result of commercial real estate loan workouts where two new notes are created. The primary note is underwritten based upon the Company’s normal underwriting standards and is structured so that the projected cash flows are sufficient to repay the contractual principal and interest of the newly restructured note. The terms of the secondary note vary by situation and often involve that note being charged off, or the principal and interest payments being deferred until after the primary note has been repaid. In situations where a portion of the note is charged off during modification, there is often no specific reserve allocated to those loans. This is due to the fact that the amount of the charge-off usually represents the excess of the original loan balance over the collateral value and the Company has determined there is no additional exposure on those loans. As discussed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, once a loan is identified as a TDR, it is accounted for as an impaired loan. The Company had no unfunded commitments to lend to a customer that has a troubled debt restructured loan as of December 31, 2020. The Company had four loan contracts totaling $494,000 restructured during 2020. Loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring are considered to be in default once the loan becomes 90 days past due. A TDR may cease being classified as impaired if the loan is subsequently modified at market terms and, has performed according to the modified terms for at least six months, and there has not been any prior principal forgiveness on a cumulative basis. The Company had four loan contracts restructured during the year ended December 31, 2020, all four modifications were payment deferral modifications. The loans consisted of two commercial real estate loans totaling $132,000, one commercial loan totaling $89,000 and one residential real estate loan totaling $273,000. Loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring are considered to be in default once the loan becomes 90 days past due. A TDR may cease being classified as impaired if the loan is subsequently modified at market terms and, has performed according to the modified terms for at least six months, and there has not been any prior principal forgiveness on a cumulative basis. The Company had no loan contracts restructured during 2019. During 2019, the Company had one loan totaling $859,000 that subsequently defaulted. This loan failed to continue to perform as agreed and was moved to non-accrual status. Modifications in Response to COVID-19 Certain borrowers are currently unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. To help mitigate these effects, loan customers may apply for a deferral of payments, or portions thereof, for up to three months. In the absence of other intervening factors, such short-term modifications made on a good faith basis are not categorized as troubled debt restructurings, nor are loans granted payment deferrals related to the COVID-19 pandemic reported as past due or placed on nonaccrual status (provided the loans were not past due or on nonaccrual status prior to the deferral). As of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $1.9 million in loans still under their modified terms. The Company’s modification program included payment deferrals, interest only, and other forms of modifications. See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for more information. |
