AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) Note 6. Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses – (continued) Troubled Debt Restructurings Loans are considered to have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDRs”) when, except as discussed below, due to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company makes certain concessions to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Modifications may include interest rate reductions, principal or interest forgiveness, forbearance, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. Generally, a nonaccrual loan that has been modified in a troubled debt restructuring remains on nonaccrual status for a period of six months to demonstrate that the borrower is able to meet the terms of the modified loan. However, performance prior to the modification, or significant events that coincide with the modification, are included in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and may result in the loan being returned to accrual status at the time of loan modification or after a shorter performance period. If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is uncertain, the loan remains on nonaccrual status. As of September 30, 2020, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were on nonaccrual status or were contractually past due 90 days or greater and still accruing interest, or whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings. As of September 30, 2020, TDRs totaled $47.8 million, of which $29.5 million were on nonaccrual status and $18.3 million were performing under their restructured terms. As of December 31, 2019, TDRs totaled $52.0 million, of which $30.6 million were on nonaccrual status and $21.4 million were performing under their restructured terms. The Company has allocated $4.4 million and $23 thousand of specific allowance as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively for its TDRs. The following table presents loans by class modified as TDRs that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2020: Number of Loans Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Troubled debt restructurings: (dollars in thousands) Commercial 1 $ 191 $ 191 Commercial real estate 1 97 97 Total 2 $ 288 $ 288 The two loan modifications during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were maturity extensions.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) Note 6. Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses – (continued) In March 2020, various regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (“the agencies”) issued an interagency statement on loan modifications and reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by COVID-19. The interagency statement was effective immediately and impacted accounting for loan modifications. The agencies confirmed with the staff of the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., three to six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Provisions of the CARES Act largely mirrored the provisions of the interagency statement, providing that modified loans would not be considered TDR’s if they were performing at year-end 2019, and the other conditions set forth in the interagency statement were met. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented or at year-end 2019. As of September 30, 2020, the Bank had 199 deferred loans totaling approximately $355.2 million. The majority of these loans were deferred between 90 and 120 days. The following table sets forth the composition of these loans by loan segments as of September 30, 2020: Unpaid Number of Principal Loans Balance (dollars in thousands) Commercial 77 $ 51,594 Commercial real estate 105 281,636 Commercial construction 6 20 Residential real estate 11 5,284 Total 199 $ 355,167 |
