These types of loans are categorized as commercial and industrial and are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and require no allowance for loan losses. The provision for the first quarter of 2020 was primarily the result of provisions related to the onset of the COVID-19 The Company utilizes a six grade internal loan rating system for commercial real estate, construction, commercial, and municipal loans as follows: Loans rated 1-3 Loans in this category are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk. Loans rated 4 (Monitor): These loans represent classified loans that management is closely monitoring for credit quality. These loans have had or may have minor credit quality deterioration as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Loans rated 5 (Substandard): Substandard loans represent classified loans that management is closely monitoring for credit quality. These loans have had more significant credit quality deterioration as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Loans rated 6 (Doubtful): Doubtful loans represent classified loans that management is closely monitoring for credit quality. These loans had more significant credit quality deterioration as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and full collectability is doubtful.
