In the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, the Bank sold mortgages to FNMA totaling $3.0 million and $7.6 million, respectively, compared with $0.4 million mortgages sold during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018. , The Bank had a loan servicing portfolio principal balance of $74 million and $73 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, upon which it earned servicing fees. The value of the mortgage servicing rights for that portfolio was $0.5 million and $0.6 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 there were $0.5 million and $ 0.4 million in residential mortgages held for sale, respectively. 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, 2018. 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, 2018. Unless otherwise noted in this Form 10-Q, the policies and methodology described in the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2018 are consistent with those utilized by the Company in the three and nine month periods ended September 30 , 2019.   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 its allowance for loan losses:  · Acceptable or better · Watch · Special Mention · Substandard · Doubtful · 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. Unlike commercial customers, consumer loan customers are not required to provide the Company with updated financial information. 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 indicators of certain loans for the dates specified:        September 30, 2019  (in thousands)  Corporate Credit Exposure – By Credit Rating Commercial Real Estate Construction Commercial and Multi-Family Mortgages Total Commercial Real Estate Commercial and Industrial  Acceptable or better $ 60,844 $ 452,715 $ 513,559 $ 173,384  Watch 20,811 153,660 174,471 70,187  Special Mention 6,191 19,792 25,983 9,373  Substandard 2,979 6,619 9,598 9,200  Doubtful/Loss - - - -  Total $ 90,825 $ 632,786 $ 723,611 $ 262,144      December 31, 2018  (in thousands)  Corporate Credit Exposure – By Credit Rating Commercial Real Estate Construction Commercial and Multi-Family Mortgages Total Commercial Real Estate Commercial and Industrial  Acceptable or better $ 65,932 $ 466,294 $ 532,226 $ 155,687  Watch 30,628 109,409 140,037 57,366  Special Mention - 10,583 10,583 4,105  Substandard 8,636 6,221 14,857 8,870  Doubtful/Loss - - - 29  Total $ 105,196 $ 592,507 $ 697,703 $ 226,057     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:      September 30, 2019  (in thousands)   Current Non-accruing Total  Balance 30-59 days 60-89 days 90+ days Loans Balance   Commercial and industrial $ 256,920 $ 173 $ 806 $ - $ 4,245 $ 262,144  Residential real estate:  Residential 158,290 - 285 - 1,537 160,112  Construction 890 - - - - 890  Commercial real estate:  Commercial 627,253 - - - 5,533 632,786  Construction 89,228 - - - 1,597 90,825  Home equities 68,499 345 - - 927 69,771  Consumer and other 1,672 12 - - - 1,684  Total Loans $ 1,202,752 $ 530 $ 1,091 $ - $ 13,839 $ 1,218,212  Note: Loan balances do not include $ 1.6 million in net deferred loan origination costs as of September 30 , 2019.

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 interest 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 September 30, 2019, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to debtors owing on loans whose terms have been modified in TDRs.  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 borrower time to improve cash flow or sell the property. Other common concessions leading to the designation of a TDR are lines of credit that are termed-out and/or extensions of maturities at rates that are less than the prevailing market rates given the risk profile of the borrower.    The following tables show the data for TDR activity by the type of concession granted to the borrower for the three and nine month periods ended September 30 , 2019 and 2018:    Three months ended September 30, 2019 Three months ended September 30, 2018  (Recorded Investment in thousands) (Recorded Investment 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:  Extension of maturity 1 $ 21 $ 21 1 $ 46 $ 46  Term-out line of credit 1 42 42 - - -  Residential Real Estate & Construction: - - - - - -  Extension of maturity and  interest rate reduction 3 307 307 - - -  Commercial Real Estate & Construction:  Deferral of principal - - - 1 8,768 8,768  Home Equities: - - - - -  Extension of maturity and  interest rate reduction 1 110 110 - - -  Consumer and other loans - - - - - -      Nine months ended September 30, 2019 Nine months ended September 30, 2018  (Recorded Investment in thousands) (Recorded Investment 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:  Extension of maturity 1 $ 21 $ 21 1 $ 46 $ 46  Term-out line of credit 1 42 42 1 29 29  Combination of concessions - - - 1 63 63  Residential Real Estate & Construction:  Extension of maturity and  interest rate reduction 3 307 307 - - -  Commercial Real Estate & Construction:  Deferral of principal - - - 1 8,768 8,768  Extension of maturity - - - 1 181 181  Combination of concessions - - - 1 154 154  Home Equities:  Deferral of principal - - - 1 100 100  Extension of maturity and  interest rate reduction 3 390 390 - - -  Consumer and other loans - - - - - -   The general practice of the Bank is to work with borrowers so that they are able to repay 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 to its collateral value. A loan is considered in default when the loan is 90 days past due. Loans which were classified as TDRs during the previous 12 months which defaulted during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were not material. |
