Interest that would have been accrued on impaired loans during the first nine months of 2020 and 2019 had the loans been performing under original terms would have been $1.3 million and $703,000, respectively. Credit Quality Indicators The class of loans is determined by internal risk rating. Management closely and continually monitors the quality of its loans and assesses the quantitative and qualitative risks arising from the credit quality of its loans. Lakeland assigns a credit risk rating to all commercial loans and loan commitments. The credit risk rating system has been developed by management to provide a methodology to be used by loan officers, department heads and senior management in identifying various levels of credit risk that exist within Lakeland’s commercial loan portfolios. The risk rating system assists senior management in evaluating Lakeland’s commercial loan portfolio, analyzing trends, and determining the proper level of required reserves to be recommended to the Board. In assigning risk ratings, management considers, among other things, a borrower’s debt service coverage, earnings strength, loan to value ratios, guarantor support, industry conditions and economic conditions. Management categorizes commercial loans and commitments into a one (1) to nine (9) numerical structure with rating 1 being the strongest rating and rating 9 being the weakest. Ratings 1 through 5W are considered ‘Pass’ ratings. The following table shows the Company’s commercial loan portfolio as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, by the risk ratings discussed above (in thousands): September 30, 2020 Commercial, Commercial, Real Estate - Total Commercial Loans RISK RATING 1 $ — $ 325,510 $ — $ 325,510 2 — 16,344 — 16,344 3 72,698 26,492 — 99,190 4 955,104 91,708 18,901 1,065,713 5 1,954,831 205,623 221,750 2,382,204 5W - Watch 796,979 51,092 21,924 869,995 6 - Other assets especially mentioned 147,407 22,476 12,503 182,386 7 - Substandard 122,312 12,691 1,665 136,668 8 - Doubtful — — — — 9 - Loss — — — — Total $ 4,049,331 $ 751,936 $ 276,743 $ 5,078,010 December 31, 2019 Commercial, Commercial, Real Estate - Total Commercial Loans RISK RATING 1 $ — $ 898 $ — $ 898 2 — 17,988 — 17,988 3 74,072 39,112 — 113,184 4 965,825 107,376 17,941 1,091,142 5 2,332,863 215,975 307,824 2,856,662 5W - Watch 100,347 30,192 6,959 137,498 6 - Other assets especially mentioned 55,438 11,328 — 66,766 7 - Substandard 61,048 9,065 2,445 72,558 8 - Doubtful — — — — 9 - Loss — — — — Total $ 3,589,593 $ 431,934 $ 335,169 $ 4,356,696 The risk rating tables above do not include residential mortgage loans, consumer loans, or equipment finance loans because they are evaluated on their payment status.

Allowance for Loan Losses The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act, a stimulus package signed into law on March 27, 2020 to address economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, provided financial institutions with the option to defer adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) until the earlier of the end of the pandemic or December 31, 2020. The Company elected to defer adoption of ASU 2016-13 and its Current Expected Credit Loss methodology ("CECL").

In addition to the allowances described above, Lakeland also maintains a reserve for unfunded lending commitments which is included in other liabilities. This reserve was $2.0 million and $1.8 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company analyzes the adequacy of the reserve for unfunded lending commitments quarterly. Troubled Debt Restructurings Loans are classified as troubled debt restructured loans ("TDR") in cases where borrowers experience financial difficulties and Lakeland makes certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms. Restructured loans typically involve a modification of terms such as a reduction of the stated interest rate, a moratorium of principal payments and/or an extension of the maturity date at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate of a new loan with similar risk. The Company considers the potential losses on these loans as well as the remainder of its impaired loans while considering the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as interpreted by the "Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working With Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised)" (“Revised Statement”), dated April 17, 2020, includes criteria that enable financial institutions to exclude from TDR status loans that are modified in connection with COVID-19. Under these provisions, TDR status is not required for the term of a loan modification if (i) the loan modification is made in connection with COVID-19, (ii) the loan was not past due more than 30 days as of December 31, 2019 and (iii) the loan modification is entered into during the period between March 1, 2020, and the earlier of (a) 60 days after COVID-19 is no longer characterized as a National Emergency or (b) December 31, 2020. Furthermore, pursuant to the Revised Statement, for loan modifications that do not meet these criteria but are made in connection with COVID-19, such loans may be presumed not to be TDR if the loan was current at the time the loan modification program was implemented and the modifications are short-term (e.g., six months). If the criteria are not met under either Section 4013 or the Revised Statement, banks are required to follow their existing accounting policies to determine whether COVID-related modifications should be accounted for as a TDR. The Company has elected to suspend the classification of loan modifications as TDR if they qualify under Section 4013 or the Revised Statement. For past due status, the CARES Act also provides for lenders to continue to report loans in the same delinquency bucket they were in at the time of modification. The Company has applied this guidance related to modifications during the first half of 2020. As of June 30, 2020, commercial loans totaling $927.0 million were granted 90-day, COVID-related payment deferments, of which 91% were commercial real estate loans. In addition, payment deferments on equipment finance loans totaled $40.0 million and residential and consumer loans totaled $53.0 million at June 30, 2020. During the third quarter of 2020, new payment deferments were granted to six loan relationships totaling $6.4 million. At September 30, 2020, approximately $149.0 million in commercial loans, $3.0 million in equipment finance loans and $3.0 million in residential mortgage and consumer loans remained on COVID-related deferral. During the third quarter, many 90-day loan deferments expired and borrowers began paying their pre-deferral loan payments. For most commercial loans, borrowers are paying their pre-deferral loan payments plus an additional monthly amount to catch up on the payments that were deferred. The following table summarizes the loans that were restructured during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 that met the definition of a TDR: Three Months Ended Three Months Ended (dollars in thousands) Number of Pre- Post- Number of Pre- Post- Home equity and consumer — $ — $ — 2 $ 83 $ 83 — $ — $ — 2 $ 83 $ 83 Nine Months Ended Nine Months Ended (dollars in thousands) Number of Pre- Post- Number of Pre- Post- Home equity and consumer — $ — $ — 2 $ 83 $ 83 — $ — $ — 2 $ 83 $ 83 The following table summarizes as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, loans that were TDRs within the previous twelve months that have subsequently defaulted: September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 (dollars in thousands) Number of Recorded Number of Recorded Construction 1 $ 694 — $ — Home equity and consumer — — 2 83 1 $ 694 2 $ 83 Other Real Estate and Other Repossessed Assets At September 30, 2020 the Company had no other real estate owned and at December 31, 2019, the Company had other real estate owned of $563,000, consisting of residential property acquired as a result of foreclosure proceedings.
