Loan charge-offs reduce the allowance for loan losses, and recoveries of loans previously charged off are added back to the allowance. If management determines that it is probable that all amounts due on a loan will not be collected under the original terms of the loan agreement, the loan is considered to be impaired. These loans are evaluated individually for impairment, and in conjunction with current economic conditions and loss experience, specific reserves are estimated as further discussed below. Loans not individually evaluated are aggregated by risk characteristics and reserves are recorded using a consistent methodology that considers historical loan loss experience by loan type, delinquencies, current economic conditions, loan risk ratings and industry concentration. These historical loss rates for each risk group are used as the starting point to determine loss rates for measurement purposes. The historical loan loss rates are multiplied by loss emergence periods (LEP) which represent the estimated time period between a borrower first experiencing financial difficulty and the recognition of a loss. Management's look-back period began with loss history in the first quarter 2012 as the starting point through the current quarter and it will continue to include this starting point going forward. The look-back period will continue to be evaluated and will be adjusted once a sustained loss producing downturn is recognized and found to be representative of historical losses expected for the current portfolio. The Company’s methodology includes qualitative risk factors that allow management to adjust its estimates of losses based on the most recent information available and to address other limitations in the quantitative component that is based on historical loss rates. Such risk factors are generally reviewed and updated quarterly, as appropriate, and are adjusted to reflect changes in national and local economic conditions and developments, the nature, volume and terms of loans in the portfolio, including changes in volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans, loan concentrations, assessment of trends in collateral values, assessment of changes in the quality of the Company’s internal loan review department, and changes in lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collections, charge-off and recovery practices. When the COVID-19 pandemic surfaced in the first quarter of 2020, management reassessed the calculation of the allowance for loan loss by increasing the economic qualitative factor in order to capture the impact on the credit risk present in the loan portfolio given the economic environment that existed at that time. As of the fourth quarter of 2020, management reassessed the qualitative factor and economic indicators. Enough time had passed so that data after the outbreak would be available and a better interpretation of the impact of the virus on the economy. Management determined that the local market and economy had been able to transition to a functional level while adapting to the new requirements aimed at stopping the spread of the virus and returned to calculating the qualitative adjustment according to the Company's methodology detailed above. Additionally, the funding of $88.4 million and $40.2 million in SBA PPP loans during 2020 and 2021, respectively, required management to assess the methodology that would be adopted in regard to the allowance for loan losses applicable to these loans. As the SBA PPP loans are expected to be mostly paid off in the next six All SBA PPP loans have a 1% interest rate and the Company earns a fee that is based upon a tiered schedule corresponding with the amount of the loan to the borrower, which is deferred and recognized over the life of the loan. Based upon the borrower meeting certain criteria as defined by the CARES Act, the loan may be forgiven by the SBA. The Company reports these loans at their principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income, unamortized deferred loan fee income and loan origination costs. Interest is accrued as earned and loan origination fees and direct costs are deferred and accreted or amortized into interest income, as an adjustment to the yield, over the life of the loan using the level yield method. When a PPP loan is paid off or forgiven by the SBA, the remaining unaccreted or unamortized net origination fees or costs are immediately recognized into income.

All other loans are collectively evaluated for impairment under ASC 450-20. Impaired loans individually evaluated for impairment totaled $36.6 million and $37.3 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and are comprised of loans on non-accrual status and loans which have been classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). The net carrying value of impaired loans is based on the fair values of collateral obtained through independent appraisals or internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows. At March 31, 2021, $31.8 million of impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value less estimated selling costs of the loans' collateral compared to $32.2 million at December 31, 2020. Once the impairment amount is calculated, a specific reserve allocation is recorded. At March 31, 2021, $5.1 million of the Company’s allowance for loan losses was allocated to impaired loans totaling $36.6 million compared to $5.1 million of the Company’s allowance for loan losses allocated to impaired loans totaling approximately $37.3 million at December 31, 2020. Management determined that $12.6 million, or 34%, of total impaired loans required no reserve allocation at March 31, 2021 compared to $11.9 million, or 32%, at December 31, 2020, primarily due to adequate collateral values , The categories of impaired loans at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows: March 31, December 31, (in thousands) 2021 2020 Non-accrual loans $ 34,233 $ 34,559 Performing TDRs 2,414 2,776 Total impaired loans $ 36,647 $ 37,335 The following tables provide additional information about impaired loans at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, segregated between loans for which an allowance has been provided and loans for which no allowance has been provided.

The amount recognized as interest income on impaired loans continuing to accrue interest, primarily related to troubled debt restructurings, was $40,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $42,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The average recorded investment in impaired loans is calculated on a monthly basis during the periods reported. Delinquent and Non-Accrual Loans The delinquency status of loans is determined based on the contractual terms of the notes. Borrowers are generally classified as delinquent once payments become 30 days or more past due. The Company’s policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income on any loan when, in the opinion of management, the ultimate collectability of interest or principal is no longer probable. In general, loans are placed on non-accrual when they become 90 days or more past due. However, management considers many factors before placing a loan on non-accrual, including the delinquency status of the loan, the overall financial condition of the borrower, the progress of management’s collection efforts and the value of the underlying collateral. Subsequent interest payments received on non-accrual loans are applied to principal if any doubt exists as to the collectability of such principal; otherwise, such receipts are recorded as interest income on a cash basis. Non-accrual loans are returned to accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the financial condition of the borrower indicates that the timely collectability of interest and principal is probable and the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay under the terms of the note through a sustained period of repayment performance, which is generally six months. The following table provides aging information for the Company’s past due and non-accrual loans at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Their delinquency status will not change through the forbearance period as they are fulfilling the agreement they have made with the Company. Of the total remaining $72.8 million loan modifications under the CARES Act, $29.3 million, are on nonaccrual status at March 31, 2021. Credit Quality The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based upon an internal rating system reflecting management’s risk assessment. Loans are placed on watch substandard troubled debt restructuring TDR) TDRs and are included with all other nonaccrual loans for presentation purposes. It is the Company’s policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income on loans when management believes that the collection of interest or principal is doubtful.

At December 31, 2020, loans classified as TDRs totaled $3.7 million, of which $0.9 million were classified as non-performing TDRs and $2.8 million were classified as performing TDRs. Both performing and nonperforming TDRs are considered impaired loans. When an individual loan is determined to be a TDR, the amount of impairment is based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral less applicable selling costs. Accordingly, specific reserves of $172,000 and $214,000 related to TDRs were allocated to the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. As provided for by the CARES Act, the Company offered payment modifications to borrowers. At March 31, 2021, $72.8 million, or 5.7% of total loans, remained in some form of a modification. These loan modifications include $28.1 million, or 38.5%, on interest only, $39.6 million, or 54.5%, on full deferral and $5.1 million, or 7.0%, with extended amortization.

There were no loans meeting the TDR criteria that were modified during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and one loan during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company considers a TDR to be in default when it is 90 days or more past due under the modified terms, a charge-off occurs, or in the process of foreclosure. There were no loans modified as a TDR that defaulted during any of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and within twelve months of their modification date. See Lending and Credit Management Loans Held For Sale The Company designates certain long-term fixed rate personal real estate loans as held for sale, and the Company carries them at the lower of cost or fair value. The loans are primarily sold to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, PennyMac, and other various secondary market investors. At March 31, 2021, the carrying amount of these loans was $6.3 million compared to $5.1 million and $4.3 million at December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. |
