Loans and Asset Quality Information | Note 7 – Loans and Asset Quality Information The loans and foreclosed real estate that were acquired in FDIC-assisted transactions are covered by loss share agreements between the FDIC and the Company's banking subsidiary, First Bank, which afford First Bank significant loss protection - see Note 2 to the financial statements included in the Company's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K for detailed information regarding these transactions. Because of the loss protection provided by the FDIC, the risk of the loans and foreclosed real estate that are covered by loss share agreements are significantly different from those assets not covered under the loss share agreements. Accordingly, the Company presents separately loans subject to the loss share agreements as “covered loans” in the information below and loans that are not subject to the loss share agreements as “non-covered loans.” On July 1, 2014, one of the Company's loss share agreements with the FDIC expired. The agreement that expired related to the non-single family assets of Cooperative Bank, a failed bank acquisition in 2009. Accordingly, the remaining balances associated with these loans and foreclosed real estate were transferred from the covered portfolio to the non-covered portfolio on July 1, 2014. The Company will bear all future losses on this portfolio of loans and foreclosed real estate. Immediately prior to the transfer to non-covered status, the loans in this portfolio had a carrying value of $ 39.7 3.0 39.7 9.7 2.1 1.7 The following is a summary of the major categories of total loans outstanding: ($ in thousands) September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 September 30, 2014 Amount Percentage Amount Percentage Amount Percentage All loans (non-covered and covered): Commercial, financial, and agricultural $ 199,630 8 $ 160,878 7 $ 165,215 7 Real estate – construction, land development & other land loans 294,426 12 288,148 12 298,091 13 Real estate – mortgage – residential (1-4 family) first mortgages 770,691 31 789,871 33 806,954 33 Real estate – mortgage – home equity loans / lines of credit 224,639 9 223,500 9 224,553 9 Real estate – mortgage – commercial and other 944,432 38 882,127 37 879,122 36 Installment loans to individuals 47,120 2 50,704 2 51,425 2 Subtotal 2,480,938 100 2,395,228 100 2,425,360 100 Unamortized net deferred loan costs 765 946 730 Total loans $ 2,481,703 $ 2,396,174 $ 2,426,090 The following is a summary of the major categories of non-covered loans outstanding: ($ in thousands) September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 September 30, 2014 Amount Percentage Amount Percentage Amount Percentage Non-covered loans: Commercial, financial, and agricultural $ 198,624 9 $ 159,195 7 $ 162,994 7 Real estate – construction, land development & other land loans 290,465 12 282,604 13 292,401 13 Real estate – mortgage – residential (1-4 family) first mortgages 692,431 29 700,101 31 714,879 31 Real estate – mortgage – home equity loans / lines of credit 213,435 9 210,697 9 211,477 9 Real estate – mortgage – commercial and other 932,254 39 864,333 38 858,935 38 Installment loans to individuals 47,120 2 50,704 2 51,425 2 Subtotal 2,374,329 100 2,267,634 100 2,292,111 100 Unamortized net deferred loan costs 765 946 730 Total non-covered loans $ 2,375,094 $ 2,268,580 $ 2,292,841 The carrying amount of the covered loans at September 30, 2015 consisted of impaired and nonimpaired purchased loans (as determined on the date of acquisition), as follows: ($ in thousands) Impaired Loans – Carrying Value Impaired Purchased Loans – Unpaid Principal Balance Nonimpaired Purchased Loans – Carrying Nonimpaired Purchased Unpaid Principal Balance Total Covered Loans – Carrying Total Covered loans: Commercial, financial, and agricultural $ 59 116 947 975 1,006 1,091 Real estate – construction, land development & other land loans 297 522 3,664 3,912 3,961 4,434 Real estate – mortgage – residential (1-4 family) first mortgages 109 636 78,151 91,570 78,260 92,206 Real estate – mortgage – home equity loans / lines of credit 8 15 11,196 12,912 11,204 12,927 Real estate – mortgage – commercial and other 1,047 3,154 11,131 11,871 12,178 15,025 Total $ 1,520 4,443 105,089 121,240 106,609 125,683 The carrying amount of the covered loans at December 31, 2014 consisted of impaired and nonimpaired purchased loans (as determined on the date of the acquisition), as follows: ($ in thousands) Impaired Loans – Impaired Nonimpaired Purchased Nonimpaired Purchased Total Total Loans – Covered loans: Commercial, financial, and agricultural $ 66 123 1,617 1,661 1,683 1,784 Real estate – construction, land development & other land loans 309 534 5,235 6,471 5,544 7,005 Real estate – mortgage – residential (1-4 family) first mortgages 362 1,298 89,408 104,678 89,770 105,976 Real estate – mortgage – home equity loans / lines of credit 12 19 12,791 15,099 12,803 15,118 Real estate – mortgage – commercial and other 1,201 3,209 16,593 17,789 17,794 20,998 Total $ 1,950 5,183 125,644 145,698 127,594 150,881 The following table presents information regarding covered purchased nonimpaired loans since December 31, 2013.

The Company tracks credit quality based on its internal risk ratings. Upon origination a loan is assigned an initial risk grade, which is generally based on several factors such as the borrower's credit score, the loan-to-value ratio, the debt-to-income ratio, etc. Loans that are risk-graded as substandard during the origination process are declined. After loans are initially graded, they are monitored monthly for credit quality based on many factors, such as payment history, the borrower's financial status, and changes in collateral value. Loans can be downgraded or upgraded depending on management's evaluation of these factors. Internal risk-grading policies are consistent throughout each loan type. The following describes the Company's internal risk grades in ascending order of likelihood of loss: Numerical Risk Grade Description Pass: 1 Loans with virtually no risk, including cash secured loans. 2 Loans with documented significant overall financial strength, including non-cash secured or unsecured loans that have no minor or major exceptions to the lending guidelines. 3 Loans with documented satisfactory overall financial strength, including non-cash secured or unsecured loans that have no major exceptions to the lending guidelines. If unsecured, loans would include support of a strong guarantor or co-maker. 4 Loans to borrowers with acceptable financial condition, including non-cash secured or unsecured loans that have minor or major exceptions to the lending guidelines, but the exceptions are properly mitigated. Primary or secondary source of repayment is sufficient and if secured, loan would include the support of a satisfactory guarantor or co-maker. Watch or Standard: 9 Existing loans that meet the guidelines for a Risk Graded 5 loan, except the collateral coverage is sufficient to satisfy the debt with no risk of loss under reasonable circumstances. Special Mention: 5 Existing loans with major exceptions that cannot be mitigated. Potential for loss is possible. Classified: 6 Loans that have a well-defined weakness that may jeopardize the liquidation of the debt if deficiencies are not corrected. Loss is not only possible, but probable. 7 Loans that have a well-defined weakness that make the collection or liquidation improbable. Loss appears imminent, but the exact amount and timing is uncertain. 8 Loans that are considered uncollectible and are in the process of being charged-off. This grade is a temporary grade assigned for administrative purposes until the charge-off is completed.

Troubled Debt Restructurings The restructuring of a loan is considered a “troubled debt restructuring” if both (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and (ii) the creditor has granted a concession. Concessions may include interest rate reductions or below market interest rates, principal forgiveness, restructuring amortization schedules and other actions intended to minimize potential losses. The vast majority of the Company's troubled debt restructurings modified during the periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 related to interest rate reductions combined with restructured amortization schedules. The Company does not generally grant principal forgiveness. All loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are considered to be impaired and are evaluated as such for determination of the allowance for loan losses. The Company's troubled debt restructurings can be classified as either nonaccrual or accruing based on the loan's payment status. The troubled debt restructurings that are nonaccrual are reported within the nonaccrual loan totals presented previously.
