In the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the Bank sold mortgages to FNMA totaling $ 3.7 million, and $2.0 million, respectively. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Bank had a loan servicing portfolio principal balance of $78 million and $76 million, 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. No loans were held for sale at March 31, 2020. At December 31, 2019 there were $ 0.7 million in residential mortgages held for sale. 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, 2019. 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, 2019. Unless otherwise noted in this Form 10-Q, the policies and methodology described in the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2019 are consistent with those utilized by the Company in the three month period ended March 31 , 2020.   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:        March 31, 2020  (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 $ 73,866 $ 476,629 $ 550,495 $ 184,214  Watch 12,493 165,806 178,299 50,615  Special Mention 8,133 11,024 19,157 11,836  Substandard 2,206 13,192 15,398 9,492  Doubtful/Loss - - - -  Total $ 96,698 $ 666,651 $ 763,349 $ 256,157      December 31, 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 $ 73,646 $ 451,297 $ 524,943 $ 165,255  Watch 13,380 171,277 184,657 68,665  Special Mention 8,359 15,725 24,084 7,631  Substandard 2,463 6,737 9,200 9,646  Doubtful/Loss - - - -  Total $ 97,848 $ 645,036 $ 742,884 $ 251,197     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:      March 31, 2020  (in thousands)   Current Non-accruing Total  Balance 30-59 days 60-89 days 90+ days Loans Balance   Commercial and industrial $ 245,230 $ 1,094 $ 2,613 $ - $ 7,220 $ 256,157  Residential real estate:  Residential 151,557 3,160 - - 1,408 156,125  Construction 298 - - - - 298  Commercial real estate:  Commercial 650,625 10,009 - - 6,017 666,651  Construction 93,488 1,892 - - 1,318 96,698  Home equities 66,552 302 24 - 751 67,629  Consumer and other 1,206 11 3 3 - 1,223  Total Loans $ 1,208,956 $ 16,468 $ 2,640 $ 3 $ 16,714 $ 1,244,781  Note: Loan balances do not include $ 1.4 million in net deferred loan origination costs as of March 31 , 2020.

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 March 31, 2020, 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.  Federal banking regulators issued interagency statements that included guidance on accounting for loan modifications in light of the economic impact of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on March 22, 2020 and April 7, 2020. The guidance interprets current accounting standards and indicates that a lender can conclude that a borrower is not experiencing financial difficulty if short-term modifications are made in response to COVID-19, such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant related to the loans in which the borrower is less than 30 days past due on its contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. The agencies confirmed, in working with the staff of the FASB, that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were less than 30 days past due on its contractual payments prior to any relief are not TDRs.  The following tables show the data for TDR activity by the type of concession granted to the borrower for the three month periods ended March 31 , 2020 and 2019:    Three months ended March 31, 2020 Three months ended March 31, 2019  (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 $ $ $ $  Residential Real Estate & Construction: - - - - -  Combination of concessions 1 56 56 - - -  Commercial Real Estate & Construction  Home Equities: - - - - -  Extension of maturity and  interest rate reduction - - - 1 109 109  Consumer and other loans - - - - - -  Other - - - - - -   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 three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were not material. |
