In the three month period ended June 30 , 201 6 , the Bank sold mortgages to FNMA totaling $ 2.6 million , as compared with $7.1 million in mortgages sold to FNMA in the three month period ended June 30 , 201 5 . During the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Bank sold $ 3.5 million and $9.7 million , respectively, to FNMA. At June 30 , 201 6 , the Bank had a loan servicing portfolio principal balance of $76 million upon which it earns servicing fees, as compared with $77 million at December 31, 201 5 . The value of the mortgage servicing rights for that portfolio was $0. 5 million at June 30 , 201 6 and $0.6 million at December 31, 201 5 . At each of June 30 , 201 6 and December 31, 2015 , there were $0.5 million in residential mortgage loans held-for-sale. The Company had no commercial loans held-for-sale at June 30 , 201 6 or December 31, 201 5 . The Company has never been contacted by FNMA to repurchase any loans due to improper documentation or fraud.  As noted in Note 1, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 201 5 . Disclosures related to the basis for accounting for loans, the method for recognizing interest income on loans, the policy for placing loans on nonaccrual status and the subsequent recording of payments and resuming accrual of interest, the policy for determining past due status, a description of the Company’s accounting policies and methodology used to estimate the allowance for loan losses, the policy for charging-off loans, the accounting policies for impaired loans, and more descriptive information on the Company’s credit risk ratings are all contained in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 201 5 . Unless otherwise noted in this Form 10-Q, the policies and methodology described in the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 201 5 are consistent with those utilized by the Company in the three and six month pe riods ended June 30 , 201 6 .   Credit Quality Indicators  The Bank monitors the credit risk in its loan portfolio by reviewing certain credit quality indicators (“CQI”). The primary CQI for its commercial mortgage and commercial and industrial (“C&I”) portfolios is the individual loan’s credit risk rating. The following list provides a description of the credit risk ratings that are used internally by the Bank when assessing the adequacy of i ts allowance for loan losses:  · 1-3 .2-Pass · 4-Watch · 5-O.A.E.M. (Other Assets Especially Mentioned) or Special Mention · 6-Substandard · 7-Doubtful · 8-Loss  The Company’s consumer loans, including residential mortgages and home equities, are not individually risk rated or reviewed in the Company’s loan review process. Consumers are not required to provide the Company with updated financial information as are commercial customers. Consumer loans also carry smaller balances. Given the lack of updated information after the initial underwriting of the loan and small size of individual loans, the Company uses delinquency status as the primary credit quality indicator for consumer loans. However, once a consumer loan is identified as impaired, it is individually evaluated for impairment.  The following tables provide data, at the class level, of credit quality indica tors of certain loans for the dates specified:        June 30, 2016  (in thousands)  Corporate Credit Exposure – By Credit Rating Commercial Real Estate Construction Commercial and Multi-Family Mortgages Total Commercial Real Estate Commercial and Industrial  3 $ 62,822 $ 342,539 $ 405,361 $ 112,730  4 5,640 68,289 73,929 51,658  5 339 8,802 9,141 7,967  6 4,180 6,788 10,968 6,855  7 - - - -  Total $ 72,981 $ 426,418 $ 499,399 $ 179,210        December 31, 2015  (in thousands)  Corporate Credit Exposure – By Credit Rating Commercial Real Estate Construction Commercial and Multi-Family Mortgages Total Commercial Real Estate Commercial and Industrial  3 $ 42,383 $ 340,837 $ 383,220 $ 80,379  4 13,098 40,019 53,117 47,509  5 1,224 11,772 12,996 8,973  6 4,187 7,191 11,378 7,350  7 - - - 119  Total $ 60,892 $ 399,819 $ 460,711 $ 144,330   Past Due Loans The following tables provide an analysis of the age of the recorded investment in loans that are past due as of the dates indicated:    June 30, 2016  (in thousands)   Total Past Current Total 90+ Days Non-accruing  30-59 days 60-89 days 90+ days Due Balance Balance Accruing Loans   Commercial and industrial $ 4,513 $ 71 $ 658 $ 5,242 $ 173,968 $ 179,210 $ 338 $ 4,936  Residential real estate:  Residential - 143 636 779 107,626 108,405 159 725  Construction - - - - 532 532 - -  Commercial real estate:  Commercial - 2,624 2,644 5,268 421,150 426,418 1,212 3,465  Construction 5,000 239 4,181 9,420 63,561 72,981 - 4,181  Home equities 245 272 780 1,297 62,245 63,542 3 1,037  Consumer and other 18 14 7 39 1,408 1,447 7 13  Total Loans $ 9,776 $ 3,363 $ 8,906 $ 22,045 $ 830,490 $ 852,535 $ 1,719 $ 14,357  NOTE: Loan balances do not include $ 771 thousand in net deferred loan origination costs as of June 30, 2016.

Of those balances, $1.1 million and $1.8 million were in non-accrual status at June 30 , 201 6 and December 31, 201 5 , respectively. Any TDR that is placed on non-accrual is not reverted back to accruing status until the borrower makes timely payments as contracted for at least six months and future collection under the revised terms is probable. All of the Company’s restructurings were allowed in an effort to maximize its ability to collect on loans where borrowers were experiencing financial difficulty.  The reserve for a TDR is based upon the present value of the future expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective rate or upon the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell, if the loan is deemed collateral dependent. This reserve methodology is used because all TDR loans are considered impaired. As of June 30 , 201 6 , there were no commitments to lend additional funds to debtors owing on loans whose terms have been modified in TDRs.  The following tables summarize the loans that were classified as troubled debt restructurings as of the dates indicated:      June 30, 2016  (in thousands)  Total Nonaccruing Accruing Related Allowance  Commercial and industrial $ 516 $ 467 $ 49 $ 166  Residential real estate:  Residential 1,860 124 1,736 -  Construction - - - -  Commercial real estate:  Commercial and multi-family 1,676 323 1,353 -  Construction 262 - 262 -  Home equities 755 178 577 -  Consumer loans 27 - 27 27  Total troubled restructured loans $ 5,096 $ 1,092 $ 4,004 $ 193         December 31, 2015  (in thousands)  Total Nonaccruing Accruing Related Allowance  Commercial and industrial $ 517 $ 508 $ 9 $ 165  Residential real estate:  Residential 1,789 689 1,100 -  Construction - - - -  Commercial real estate:  Commercial and multi-family 1,732 334 1,398 -  Construction 834 - 834 -  Home equities 867 281 586 -  Consumer loans 28 - 28 28  Total troubled restructured loans $ 5,767 $ 1,812 $ 3,955 $ 193    The Company’s TDRs have various agreements that involve deferral of principal payments, or interest-only payments, for a period (usually 12 months or less) to allow the customer time to improve cash flow or sell the property. Other common types of concessions leading to the designation of a TDR are lines of credit that are termed out and extensions of maturities at rates that are less than market given the risk profile of the borrower.  There was no TDR activity for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.  The following table shows the data for TDR activity by type of concession granted to the borrower for the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:       Six months ended June 30, 2016 Six months ended June 30, 2015  (in thousands) (in thousands)  Troubled Debt Restructurings by Type of Concession Number of Contracts Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Number of Contracts Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment   Commercial and Industrial:  Deferral of principal - $ - $ - 3 $ 541 $ 541  Extension of maturity 1 24 24 - - -  Term-out line of credit 1 20 20 - - -  Residential Real Estate & Construction:  Extension of maturity 1 95 95 - - -  Commercial Real Estate & Construction - - - - - -  Home Equities  Consumer loans - - - - - -   The general practice of the Bank is to work with borrowers so that they are able to pay back their loan in full. If a borrower continues to be delinquent or cannot meet the terms of a TDR and the loan is determined to be uncollectible, the loan will be charged-off. The following table presents loans which were classified as TDRs during the previous 12 months which defaulted during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:      Three months ended June 30, 2016 Three months ended June 30, 2015  (in thousands) (in thousands)  Troubled Debt Restructurings Number of Recorded Number of Recorded  That Subsequently Defaulted Contracts Investment Contracts Investment  Commercial and Industrial - $ - - $ -  Residential Real Estate:  Residential - - - -  Construction - - - -  Commercial Real Estate:  Commercial and multi-family - - 1 245  Construction - - - -  Home Equities - - - -  Consumer loans - - - -           Six months ended June 30, 2016 Six months ended June 30, 2015  (in thousands) (in thousands)  Troubled Debt Restructurings Number of Recorded Number of Recorded  That Subsequently Defaulted Contracts Investment Contracts Investment  Commercial and Industrial - $ - - $ -  Residential Real Estate:  Residential - - - -  Construction - - - -  Commercial Real Estate:  Commercial and multi-family - - 1 245  Construction - - - -  Home Equities - - 1 19  Consumer loans - - - -  |
