LOANS RECEIVABLE, NET | NOTE 5 - LOANS RECEIVABLE, NET We emphasize a range of lending services, including commercial and residential real estate mortgage loans, real estate construction loans, commercial and industrial loans and consumer loans. Our customers are generally individuals and small to medium-sized businesses and professional firms that are located in or conduct a substantial portion of their business in our market areas. We have focused our lending activities primarily on the professional market, including doctors, dentists, small business to medium-sized owners and commercial real estate developers. Certain credit risks are inherent in making loans. These include prepayment risks, risks resulting from uncertainties in the future value of collateral, risks resulting from changes in economic and industry conditions, and risks inherent in dealing with individual borrowers. We attempt to mitigate repayment risks by adhering to internal credit policies and procedures. These policies and procedures include officer and customer lending limits, with approval processes for larger loans, documentation examination, and follow-up procedures for any exceptions to credit policies. Our loan approval policies provide for various levels of officer lending authority. When the amount of aggregate loans to a single borrower exceeds the maximum senior officer’s lending authority, the loan request will be considered by the management loan committee, or MLC, which is comprised of five members, all of whom are part of the senior management team of the Bank. The MLC meets weekly to approve loans with total loan commitments exceeding $1.5 million. The loan authority of the MLC is equal to two-thirds of the legal lending limit of the Bank which is equivalent to the in-house loan limit. Total credit exposure above the in-house limit requires approval by the majority of the board of directors. We do not make any loans to any director, executive officer of the Bank, or the related interests of each, unless the loan is approved by the full Board of Directors of the Bank and is on terms not more favorable than would be available to a person not affiliated with the Bank. The following is a description of the risk characteristics of the material loan portfolio segments: Residential Mortgage Loans and Home Equity Loans Commercial Real Estate Real Estate Construction and Development Loans. Commercial Loans. The Company’s primary markets are generally concentrated in real estate lending. However, in order to diversify our lending portfolio, the Company purchases nationally syndicated commercial and industrial loans. These loans typically have terms of seven years and are generally tied to a floating rate index such as LIBOR or prime. To effectively manage this line of business, the Company has an experienced senior lending executive with relevant experience to manage this area of this segement of the loan portfolio. In addition, the Company engaged a consulting firm that specializes in syndicated loans to assist in monitoring performance analytics. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were approximately $80.2 million and $91.5 million in syndicated loans outstanding. Syndicated loans are grouped within commercial business loans below. Consumer Loans. Loans receivable, net at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are summarized by category as follows: At March 31, At December 31, 2017 2016 % of Total % of Total Amount Loans Amount Loans (Dollars in thousands) Loans secured by real estate: One-to-four family $ 472,764 33.36 % $ 411,399 34.91 % Home equity 52,298 3.69 % 36,026 3.06 % Commercial real estate 540,415 38.14 % 445,344 37.80 % Construction and development 150,738 10.64 % 115,682 9.82 % Consumer loans 10,411 0.73 % 5,714 0.48 % Commercial business loans 190,384 13.44 % 164,101 13.93 % Total gross loans receivable 1,417,010 100.00 % 1,178,266 100.00 % Less: Allowance for loan losses 10,715 10,688 Total loans receivable, net $ 1,406,295 $ 1,167,578 Included in the loan totals were $303.2 million and $119.4 million in loans acquired through acquisitions at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. No allowance for loan losses related to the acquired loans is recorded on the acquisition date because the fair value of the loans acquired incorporates assumptions regarding credit risk. There are two methods to account for acquired loans as part of a business combination. Acquired loans that contain evidence of credit deterioration on the date of purchase are carried at the net present value of expected future proceeds in accordance with ASC 310-30 and are considered purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans. All other acquired loans are recorded at their initial fair value, adjusted for subsequent advances, pay downs, amortization or accretion of any premium or discount on purchase, charge-offs and any other adjustment to carrying value in accordance with ASC 310-20. PCI loans are aggregated into pools of loans based on common risk characteristics such as the type of loan, payment status, or collateral type. The Company estimates the amount and timing of expected cash flows for each purchased loan pool and the expected cash flows in excess of the amount paid are recorded as interest income over the remaining life of the pool (accretable yield). The excess of the pool’s contractual principal and interest over expected cash flows is not recorded (nonaccretable difference). Over the life of the loan pool, expected cash flows continue to be estimated. If the present value of expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount, a loss is recorded. If the present value of expected cash flows is greater than the carrying amount, it is recognized as part of future interest income. At March 31, 2017, the outstanding balance and recorded investment of PCI loans was $31.9 million and $25.3 million, respectively. The Company had no PCI loans prior to 2017. The following table presents changes in the value of the accretable yield for PCI loans for three months ended March 31, 2017 (in thousands): For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 (In thousands) Accretable yield, beginning of period $ — Additions 4,995 Accretion (102 ) Reclassification from nonaccretable balance, net — Other changes, net — Accretable yield, end of period $ 4,893 The composition of gross loans outstanding, net of undisbursed amounts, by rate type is as follows: At March 31, At December 31, 2017 2016 (Dollars in thousands) Variable rate loans $ 535,935 37.82 % $ 455,589 38.67 % Fixed rate loans 881,075 62.18 % 722,677 61.33 % Total loans outstanding $ 1,417,010 100.00 % $ 1,178,266 100.00 % The following table presents activity in the allowance for loan losses for the period indicated.

When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest payments received while the loan is on nonaccrual are applied to the principal balance. No interest income was recognized on impaired loans subsequent to the nonaccrual status designation. A loan is returned to accrual status when the borrower makes consistent payments according to contractual terms and future payments are reasonably assured.
