Loans | NOTE 3 – LOANS Loans consist of the following: (Dollars in thousands) September 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 Commercial $ 133,645 $ 123,143 Commercial real estate 157,996 148,775 Residential real estate 138,853 125,775 Construction & land development 18,619 15,452 Consumer 13,581 9,268 Total loans before deferred costs 462,694 422,413 Deferred loan costs 517 458 Total Loans $ 463,211 $ 422,871 Loan Origination/Risk Management The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and non-performing and potential problem loans. Diversification in the loan portfolio is a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions. Commercial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate profitably and prudently expand its business. Underwriting standards are designed to promote relationship banking rather than transactional banking. The Company’s management examines current and occasionally projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay their obligations as agreed. Commercial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers; however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers. Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans, in addition to those of real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type. This diversity helps reduce the Company’s exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single industry. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans. At September 30, 2016 approximately 79% of the outstanding principal balances of the Company’s commercial real estate loans were secured by owner-occupied properties as compared to 76% at December 31, 2015. With respect to loans to developers and builders that are secured by non-owner occupied properties, the Company generally requires the borrower to have had an existing relationship with the Company and have a proven record of success. Construction and land development loans are underwritten utilizing independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Construction and land development loans are generally based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the completed project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction and land development loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risk than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing. The Company originates consumer loans utilizing a judgmental underwriting process. To monitor and manage consumer loan risk, policies and procedures are developed and modified, as needed, jointly by line and staff personnel. This activity, coupled with relatively small loan amounts that are spread across many individual borrowers, minimizes risk. The Company maintains an independent loan review department that reviews and validates the credit risk program on a periodic basis. Results of these reviews are presented to management. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures. Loans serviced for others approximated $82.5 million and $76.3 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Concentrations of Credit Nearly all of the Company’s lending activity occurs within the state of Ohio, including the four (4) counties of Holmes, Stark, Tuscarawas and Wayne, as well as other markets. The majority of the Company’s loan portfolio consists of commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were no concentrations of loans related to any single industry. Allowance for Loan Losses The following tables detail activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories. The changes in the provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 related to commercial loans were primarily due to charge-offs of loans in this category as well as an increase in the specific reserve for one commercial relationship. The decrease in the provision related to commercial real estate loans for the nine month period in 2016 was primarily due to a recovery of a prior charge-off. The increase in the provision for consumer loans during the three and nine month periods of 2016 relates to charge-offs of loans in this category as well as the increase in loan volume. The changes in the provision for loan losses for the three and nine month periods of 2015 related to commercial and industrial loans were primarily due to the increase in a specific reserve for one commercial relationship as well as the increase in the qualitative economic factors applied to loans in this category. The decrease in the provision related to commercial real estate loans was primarily due to the overall improved credit quality of the loans in this category.

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. The Company analyzes commercial loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes commercial loans with an outstanding balance greater than $300 thousand. This analysis is performed on an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Pass Special Mention Substandard Doubtful Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. Loans listed as not rated are either less than $300 thousand or are included in groups of homogeneous loans. Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class is as follows as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015: (Dollars in thousands) Pass Special Substandard Doubtful Not Rated Total September 30, 2016 Commercial $ 119,342 $ 2,570 $ 10,898 $ — $ 835 $ 133,645 Commercial real estate 148,078 2,864 6,006 — 1,048 157,996 Residential real estate 218 — 137 — 138,498 138,853 Construction & land development 13,542 744 506 — 3,827 18,619 Consumer — — — — 13,581 13,581 Total $ 281,180 $ 6,178 $ 17,547 $ — $ 157,789 $ 462,694 December 31, 2015 Commercial $ 112,229 $ 3,100 $ 7,044 $ — $ 770 $ 123,143 Commercial real estate 141,621 2,742 3,150 — 1,262 148,775 Residential real estate 190 — 213 — 125,372 125,775 Construction & land development 11,015 944 — — 3,493 15,452 Consumer — — — — 9,268 9,268 Total $ 265,055 $ 6,786 $ 10,407 $ — $ 140,165 $ 422,413 The following table presents loans that are not rated by class of loans as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
