The Company groups credit risk into Groups A, B and C. The manner the Company utilizes to assign risk grouping is driven by loan purpose. Commercial purpose loans are individually risk graded while the retail portion of the portfolio is generally grouped by delinquency pool. Group A loans - Acceptable Risk Group B loans – Management Involved Group C loans – Unacceptable Risk Commercial purpose loan ratings are assigned by the commercial account officer; for larger and more complex commercial loans, the credit rating is a collaborative assignment by the lender and the credit analyst. The credit risk rating is based on the borrower's expected performance, i.e., the likelihood that the borrower will be able to service its obligations in accordance with the loan terms. Credit risk ratings are meant to measure risk versus simply record history. Assessment of expected future payment performance requires consideration of numerous factors. While past performance is part of the overall evaluation, expected performance is based on an analysis of the borrower's financial strength, and historical and projected factors such as size and financing alternatives, capacity and cash flow, balance sheet and income statement trends, the quality and timeliness of financial reporting, and the quality of the borrower’s management. Other factors influencing the credit risk rating to a lesser degree include collateral coverage and control, guarantor strength and commitment, documentation, structure and covenants and industry conditions. There are uncertainties inherent in this process. Credit risk ratings are dynamic and require updating whenever relevant information is received. Risk ratings are assessed on an ongoing basis and at various points, including at delinquency or at the time of other adverse events. For larger, more complex or adversely rated loans, risk ratings are also assessed at the time of annual or periodic review. Lenders are required to make immediate disclosure to the Senior Credit Officer of any known increase in loan risk, even if considered temporary in nature. The risk ratings within the loan portfolio, by segment, as of the balance sheet dates were as follows: As of December 31, 2022 Residential Residential Commercial Purchased Commercial Real Estate Real Estate & Industrial Loans Real Estate Municipal 1st Lien Jr Lien Consumer Total Group A $ 104,697,047 $ 7,530,458 $ 347,732,935 $ 34,633,055 $ 195,269,893 $ 33,538,767 $ 4,039,989 $ 727,442,144 Group B 6,296,411 0 2,754,649 0 0 0 0 9,051,060 Group C 1,958,415 0 6,405,402 0 3,473,482 218,105 0 12,055,404 Total $ 112,951,873 $ 7,530,458 $ 356,892,986 $ 34,633,055 $ 198,743,375 $ 33,756,872 $ 4,039,989 $ 748,548,608 As of December 31, 2021 Residential Residential Commercial Purchased Commercial Real Estate Real Estate & Industrial Loans Real Estate Municipal 1st Lien Jr Lien Consumer Total Group A $ 107,799,925 $ 9,807,848 $ 285,732,365 $ 47,955,231 $ 177,456,149 $ 34,166,076 $ 4,464,692 $ 667,382,286 Group B 693,084 0 6,550,335 0 0 0 0 7,243,419 Group C 2,632,613 0 8,676,231 0 3,860,196 193,788 0 15,362,828 Total $ 111,125,622 $ 9,807,848 $ 300,958,931 $ 47,955,231 $ 181,316,345 $ 34,359,864 $ 4,464,692 $ 689,988,533 Modifications of Loans and TDRs A loan is classified as a TDR if, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. The Company is deemed to have granted such a concession if it has modified a troubled loan in any of the following ways: · Reduced accrued interest; · Reduced the original contractual interest rate to a rate that is below the current market rate for the borrower; · Converted a variable-rate loan to a fixed-rate loan; · Extended the term of the loan beyond an insignificant delay; · Deferred or forgiven principal in an amount greater than three months of payments; · Performed a refinancing and deferred or forgiven principal on the original loan; · Capitalized protective advance to pay delinquent real estate taxes; or · Capitalized delinquent accrued interest. An insignificant delay or insignificant shortfall in the amount of payments typically would not require the loan to be accounted for as a TDR. However, pursuant to regulatory guidance, any payment delay longer than three months is generally not considered insignificant. Management’s assessment of whether a concession has been granted also takes into account payments expected to be received from third parties, including third-party guarantors, provided that the third party has the ability to perform on the guarantee. The Company’s TDRs are principally a result of extending loan repayment terms to relieve cash flow difficulties. The Company has only, on a limited basis, reduced interest rates for borrowers below the current market rate for the borrower. The Company has not forgiven principal or reduced accrued interest within the terms of original restructurings, nor has it converted variable rate terms to fixed rate terms. However, the Company evaluates each TDR situation on its own merits and does not foreclose the granting of any particular type of concession. The Company adopted the TDR guidance issued by the federal banking agencies in March and April 2020 regarding the treatment of certain short-term loan modifications relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. Under this guidance, qualifying concessions and modifications are not considered TDRs. In total, throughout the pandemic, the Company granted short term loan concessions and/or modifications within the terms of this guidance to 595 borrowers. Of those loans, 302 remained on the books with an aggregate principal balance of $84.5 million as of December 31, 2022. None of these loans were in a deferral status as of December 31, 2022; however, these loans may bear a higher risk of default in future periods. New TDRs, by portfolio segment, for the periods presented were as follows: Year ended December 31, 2022 Pre- Post- Modification Modification Outstanding Outstanding Number of Recorded Recorded Contracts Investment Investment Residential real estate -1st lien 2 $ 562,592 $ 562,592 Year ended December 31, 2021 Pre- Post- Modification Modification Outstanding Outstanding Number of Recorded Recorded Contracts Investment Investment Commercial & industrial 1 $ 41,751 $ 41,751 Commercial real estate 2 3,153,402 3,153,402 Residential real estate 1st lien 1 67,007 67,007 4 $ 3,262,160 $ 3,262,160 There were no TDRs for which there was a payment default during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2022. The TDRs for which there was a payment default during the twelve month periods presented were as follows: Year ended December 31, 2021 Number of Recorded Contracts Investment Commercial & industrial 1 $ 38,001 Commercial real estate 2 3,081,810 3 $ 3,119,811 TDRs are treated as other impaired loans and carry individual specific reserves with respect to the calculation of the ALL. These loans are categorized as non-performing, may be past due, and are generally adversely risk rated. The TDRs that have defaulted under their restructured terms are generally in collection status and their reserve is typically calculated using the fair value of collateral method. The specific allowances related to TDRs as of the balance sheet dates presented were as follows: 2022 2021 Specific Allocation $ 106,280 $ 79,978 As of the balance sheet dates, the Company evaluates whether it is contractually committed to lend additional funds to debtors with impaired, non-accrual or modified loans. The Company is contractually committed to lend under one SBA guaranteed line of credit to a borrower whose lending relationship was previously restructured. |
