The Company reviews all modifications and renewals for determination of TDR status. The Company allocated $473 thousand and $534 thousand of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified as TDRs as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. These loans involved the restructuring of terms to allow customers to mitigate the risk of default by meeting a lower payment requirement based upon their current cash flow. These may also include loans that renewed at existing contractual rates, but below market rates for comparable credit. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $45 thousand was committed to be advanced in connection with TDRs, representing the amount the Company is legally required to advance under existing loan agreements. These loans are not in default under the terms of the loan agreements and are accruing interest. It is the Company’s policy to evaluate advances on such loans on a case-by-case basis. Absent a legal obligation to advance pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement, the Company generally will not advance funds for which it has outstanding commitments, but may do so in certain circumstances.

Loans in risk grades 1- 4 are considered pass loans. The Company’s risk grades are as follows: Risk Grade 1, Excellent Risk Grade 2, Good Risk Grade 3, Satisfactory · At inception, the loan was properly underwritten, did not possess an unwarranted level of credit risk, and the loan met the above criteria for a risk grade of Excellent, Good, or Satisfactory. · At inception, the loan was secured with collateral possessing a loan value adequate to protect the Company from loss. · The loan has exhibited two or more years of satisfactory repayment with a reasonable reduction of the principal balance. · During the period that the loan has been outstanding, there has been no evidence of any credit weakness. Some examples of weakness include slow payment, lack of cooperation by the borrower, breach of loan covenants or the borrower is in an industry known to be experiencing problems. If any of these credit weaknesses is observed, a lower risk grade may be warranted. Risk Grade 4, Satisfactory/Monitored Risk Grade 5, Special Mention Risk Grade 6, Substandard · Loans which possess a defined credit weakness. The likelihood that a loan will be paid from the primary source of repayment is uncertain. Financial deterioration is under way and very close attention is warranted to ensure that the loan is collected without loss. · Loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor. · The primary source of repayment is gone, and the Bank is forced to rely on a secondary source of repayment, such as collateral liquidation or guarantees. · Loans have a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected. · Unusual courses of action are needed to maintain a high probability of repayment. · The borrower is not generating enough cash flow to repay loan principal; however, it continues to make interest payments. · The lender is forced into a subordinated or unsecured position due to flaws in documentation. · Loans have been restructured so that payment schedules, terms, and collateral represent concessions to the borrower when compared to the normal loan terms. · The lender is seriously contemplating foreclosure or legal action due to the apparent deterioration in the loan. · There is a significant deterioration in market conditions to which the borrower is highly vulnerable. Risk Grade 7, Doubtful · Loans have all of the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard. However, based on existing conditions, these weaknesses make full collection of principal highly improbable. · The primary source of repayment is gone, and there is considerable doubt as to the quality of the secondary source of repayment. · The possibility of loss is high but because of certain important pending factors which may strengthen the loan, loss classification is deferred until the exact status of repayment is known. Risk Grade 8, Loss The Company annually reviews the ratings on all loans greater than $750 thousand. Annually, the Company engages an independent third-party to review a significant portion of loans within the commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, multifamily, mixed use commercial and real estate construction loan classes. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its ongoing review process.

RETIREMENT PLAN The Company’s retirement plan is noncontributory and covers substantially all eligible employees. The plan conforms to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Pension Protection Act of 2006, which requires certain funding rules for defined benefit plans. The Company’s policy is to accrue for all pension costs and to fund the maximum amount allowable for tax purposes. Actuarial gains and losses that arise from changes in assumptions concerning future events are amortized over a period that reflects the long-term nature of pension expense used in estimating pension costs. Certain provisions of the Company’s retirement plan were amended in 2012. These amendments froze the plan such that no additional pension benefits would accumulate. The Company did not record any net pension credit or expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s net periodic pension credit was $111 thousand, and $13 thousand and $333 thousand, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. In December 2015, the Company made an optional contribution of $1 million for the plan year ended September 30, 2016. No minimum contribution was required. The Company does not presently expect to contribute to its retirement plan in 2016. |
