Loans | Loans Management segments the Banks' loan portfolio to a level that enables risk and performance monitoring according to similar risk characteristics. Loans are segmented based on the underlying collateral characteristics. Categories include commercial, financial, and agricultural, real estate, and installment loans. Real estate loans are further segmented into three categories: residential, commercial, and construction, while installment loans are classified as either consumer automobile loans or other installment loans. The following table presents the related aging categories of loans, by segment, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021: March 31, 2022 Past Due Past Due 90 30 To 89 Days Or More Non- (In Thousands) Current Days & Still Accruing Accrual Total Commercial, financial, and agricultural $ 161,764 $ — $ — $ 509 $ 162,273 Real estate mortgage: Residential 609,728 2,399 319 715 613,161 Commercial 439,344 378 — 3,693 443,415 Construction 41,609 314 — — 41,923 Consumer automobile loans 135,015 545 8 — 135,568 Other consumer installment loans 9,285 44 37 — 9,366 1,396,745 $ 3,680 $ 364 $ 4,917 1,405,706 Net deferred loan fees and discounts 260 260 Allowance for loan losses (14,023) (14,023) Loans, net $ 1,382,982 $ 1,391,943 December 31, 2021 Past Due Past Due 90 30 To 89 Days Or More Non- (In Thousands) Current Days & Still Accruing Accrual Total Commercial, financial, and agricultural $ 162,571 $ 139 $ — $ 575 $ 163,285 Real estate mortgage: Residential 590,240 4,083 687 837 595,847 Commercial 442,573 224 — 3,937 446,734 Construction 36,701 554 — 40 37,295 Consumer automobile loans 138,775 490 143 — 139,408 Other consumer installment loans 9,199 47 31 — 9,277 1,380,059 $ 5,537 $ 861 $ 5,389 1,391,846 Net deferred loan fees and discounts 301 301 Allowance for loan losses (14,176) (14,176) Loans, net $ 1,366,184 $ 1,377,971 Impaired Loans Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable the Banks will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Banks individually evaluate such loans for impairment and do not aggregate loans by major risk classifications. The definition of “impaired loans” is not the same as the definition of “non-accrual loans,” although the two categories overlap. The Banks may choose to place a loan on non-accrual status due to payment delinquency or uncertain collectability, while not classifying the loan as impaired. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status and collateral value. The amount of impairment for these types of loans is determined by the difference between the present value of the expected cash flows related to the loan, using the original interest rate, and its recorded value, or as a practical expedient in the case of collateralized loans, the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the recorded amount of the loan. When foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral. Management evaluates individual loans in all of the commercial segments for possible impairment if the loan is greater than $100,000 and if the loan is either on non-accrual status or has a risk rating of substandard or worse. Management may also elect to measure an individual loans of less than $100,000 for impairment on a case-by-case basis. Mortgage loans on one-to-four family properties and consumer loans are measured for impairment collectively with the exception of loans identified as troubled debt restructurings. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays, which are defined as 90 days or less, generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration all circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower including the length of the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Interest income for impaired loans is recorded consistent to the Banks' policy.

These concessions typically result from loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months. There were no loan modifications considered to be TDRs completed during the three months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. There were two loan modifications considered TDRs completed during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Loan modifications that are considered TDRs completed during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 (In Thousands, Except Number of Contracts) Number Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Commercial, financial, and agricultural — $ — $ — Real estate mortgage: Residential 1 687 687 Commercial 1 125 125 Construction — — — 2 $ 812 $ 812 There was one loan modification considered to be a TDR made during the twelve months prior to March 31, 2022 that defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The defaulted loan type and recorded investment at March 31, 2022 are as follows: one residential real estate loan with a recorded investment of $400,000. There was one loan modification considered to be a TDR made during the twelve months previous to March 31, 2021 that defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The defaulted loan type and recorded investments at March 31, 2021 are as follows: one residential real estate loan with a recorded investment of $687,000. Troubled debt restructurings amounted to $9,084,000 and $9,410,000 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The amount of foreclosed residential real estate held at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, totaled $136,000 and $339,000, respectively. Consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings are in process at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, totaled $204,000 and $193,000, respectively. The Company began offering short-term loan modifications to provide relief to borrowers during the COVID-19 national emergency. The CARES Act, along with a joint agency statement issued by federal and state banking agencies, provides that short-term modifications made in a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to loans that are current at the time the modification program is implemented do not need to be accounted for as TDRs. Loan modifications and payment deferrals have been at historically high levels as the impact of the pandemic continues. As of March 31, 2022, the loan modification/deferral program in place has generated deferrals of up to 180 days that have been granted on 1,372 loans with 1 loan remaining in its deferral period with an aggregate outstanding balance of $158,000. As of March 31, 2021, the loan modification/deferral program in place has generated deferrals of up to 180 days that have been granted on 1,365 loans with 70 loans remaining in their deferral period with an aggregate outstanding balance of $12,345,000.These loan modifications met applicable requirements to not be considered TDRs. The Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Non-profits and Venues Act (the “Economic Aid Act”) passed in December 2020 extended the CARES Act provisions permitting financial institutions to suspend TDR assessment and reporting requirements under generally accepted accounting principles until the earlier of 60 days after the date that the President terminates the COVID-19 national emergency or January 1, 2022. Internal Risk Ratings Management uses a ten point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first six categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The special mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a substandard classification. Loans in the substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. All loans greater than 90 days past due are evaluated for substandard classification. Loans in the doubtful category exhibit the same weaknesses found in the substandard loans; however, the weaknesses are more pronounced. Such loans are static and collection in full is improbable. However, these loans are not yet rated as loss because certain events may occur which would salvage the debt. Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and charge-off is imminent. To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Banks have a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the pass category unless a specific action, such as bankruptcy, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. An external semi-annual loan review of large commercial relationships is performed, as well as a sample of smaller transactions. The 2022 loan review will evaluate 55% of the Banks' average outstanding commercial portfolio which can consist of outstanding loans, commercial real estate mortgages and outstanding commitments. Detailed reviews, including plans for resolution, are performed on loans classified as substandard, doubtful, or loss on a quarterly basis.

The ALL is based on management’s continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics and credit quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated future loss experience, and the amount of non-performing loans. The Banks' methodology for determining the ALL is based on the requirements of ASC Section 310-10-35 for loans individually evaluated for impairment (previously discussed) and ASC Subtopic 450-20 for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, as well as the Interagency Policy Statements on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other bank regulatory guidance. The total of the two components represents the Banks' ALL. Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are analyzed with general allowances being made as appropriate. Allowances are segmented based on collateral characteristics previously disclosed, and consistent with credit quality monitoring. Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are grouped into two classes for evaluation. A general allowance is determined for “Pass” rated credits, while a separate pool allowance is provided for “Criticized” rated credits that are not individually evaluated for impairment. For the general allowances, historical loss trends are used in the estimation of losses in the current portfolio. These historical loss amounts are modified by other qualitative factors. A historical charge-off factor is calculated utilizing a twelve quarter moving average. However, management may adjust the moving average time frame by up to four quarters to adjust for variances in the economic cycle. Management has identified a number of additional qualitative factors which it uses to supplement the historical charge-off factor because these factors are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing loan pools to differ from historical loss experience. The additional factors that are evaluated quarterly and updated using information obtained from internal, regulatory, and governmental sources are: national and local economic trends and conditions; levels of and trends in delinquency rates and non-accrual loans; trends in volumes and terms of loans; effects of changes in lending policies; experience, ability, and depth of lending staff; value of underlying collateral; and concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry and/or geographic standpoint. Loans in the criticized pools, which possess certain qualities or characteristics that may lead to collection and loss issues, are closely monitored by management and subject to additional qualitative factors. Management also monitors industry loss factors by loan segment for applicable adjustments to actual loss experience. Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALL. When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ALL.

The Company grants commercial, industrial, residential, and installment loans to customers primarily throughout north-east and central Pennsylvania. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent on the economic conditions within this region.
