The CARES Act was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act established the PPP, an expansion of the SBA’s 7(a) loan program and the EIDL, administered directly by the SBA. The Company had $32.6 million and $57.5 million of PPP loans (included in Commercial business above) as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In addition, the CARES Act provides that a financial institution may elect to suspend (1) the application of GAAP for certain loan modifications related to COVID-19 that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR and (2) any determination that such loan modifications would be considered a TDR, including the related impairment for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company had $ 532.4 million of loans with modifications related to COVID-19 during 2020, with $ 6.4 million and $46.2 million still on deferral as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company elected to exclude AIR from the amortized cost basis of loans disclosed throughout this footnote. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 , AIR for loans totaled $ 12.6 million and $12.7 million, respectively, and is included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition.

Repayment of PPP loans is 100% secured by guarantees from the SBA. There were $ 2 thousand and less than $ 1 thousand in consumer overdrafts which were past due greater than 90 days as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Consumer overdrafts are overdrawn deposit accounts which have been reclassified as loans but by their terms do not accrue interest. Interest income on nonaccrual loans, if recognized, is recorded using the cash basis method of accounting. There wa s no interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Estimated interest income of $ 161 thousand and $ 142 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, would have been recorded if all such loans had been accruing interest according to their original contractual terms. Troubled Debt Restructurings A modification of a loan constitutes a TDR when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession. Commercial loans modified in a TDR may involve temporary interest-only payments, term extensions, reducing the interest rate for the remaining term of the loan, extending the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, collateral concessions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance agreements, or substituting or adding a new borrower or guarantor. There were no loans modified as a TDR during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 . There were no loans modified as a TDR within the previous 12 months that defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 . For purposes of this disclosure, a loan modified as a TDR is considered to have defaulted when the borrower becomes 90 days past due. (6.) LOANS (Continued) Collateral Dependent Loans Management has determined that specific commercial loans on nonaccrual status, all loans that have had their terms restructured in a troubled debt restructuring and other loans deemed appropriate by management where repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral to be collateral dependent loans. Collateral dependent loans at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 included certain criticized COVID-19 bridge loans not otherwise classified as nonaccrual. The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral dependent loans by collateral type as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands): Collateral type Business assets Real property Total Specific Reserve March 31, 2022 Commercial business $ 220 $ 984 $ 1,204 $ 1,044 Commercial mortgage — 35,236 35,236 3,650 Total $ 220 $ 36,220 $ 36,440 $ 4,694 December 31, 2021 Commercial business $ 326 $ 993 $ 1,319 $ 1,055 Commercial mortgage — 37,936 37,936 4,716 Total $ 326 $ 38,929 $ 39,255 $ 5,771 Credit Quality Indicators The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors such as the fair value of collateral. The Company analyzes commercial business and commercial mortgage loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. Risk ratings are updated any time the situation warrants. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Company’s credit position at some future date. Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans that do not meet the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the process described above are considered “uncriticized” or pass-rated loans and are included in groups of homogeneous loans with similar risk and loss characteristics.

LOANS (Continued) Risk Characteristics Commercial business loans primarily consist of loans to small to mid-sized businesses in our market area in a diverse range of industries. These loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. Further, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value. The credit risk related to commercial loans is largely influenced by general economic conditions, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on small to mid-sized business in our market area, and the resulting impact on a borrower’s operations or on the value of underlying collateral, if any. Commercial mortgage loans generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than residential mortgage loans, potentially resulting in higher potential losses on an individual customer basis. Loan repayment is often dependent on the successful operation and management of the properties, as well as on the collateral securing the loan. Economic events, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on influencing the ability of the tenants to pay rent at these properties, or conditions in the real estate market could have an adverse impact on the cash flows generated by properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate loans and on the value of such properties. Residential real estate loans (comprised of conventional mortgages and home equity loans) and residential real estate lines (comprised of home equity lines) are generally made based on the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment and other income but are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable. Credit risk for these types of loans is generally influenced by general economic conditions, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the employment income of these borrowers, the characteristics of individual borrowers, and the nature of the loan collateral. Consumer indirect and other consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans and home equities, particularly in the case of other consumer loans which are unsecured or, in the case of indirect consumer loans, secured by depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by inflation and adverse personal circumstances such as job loss, illness or personal bankruptcy, including the heightened risk that such circumstances may arise as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the application of v arious federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans. |
