NOTE 3 – Loans Receivable 

Year end loans are summarized below:

 

 

 

 

The Bancorp has established a standard loan grading system to assist management, lenders and review personnel in their analysis and supervision of the loan portfolio. The use and application of theses grades by the Bancorp is uniform and conforms to regulatory definitions. The loan grading system is as follows:

 

2 – Moderate risk

Borrower consistently internally generates sufficient cash flow to fund debt service, working assets, and some capital expenditures. Risk of default considered low.

 

3 – Acceptable risk

Borrower generates sufficient cash flow to fund debt service, but most working asset and all capital expansion needs are provided from external sources. Profitability ratios and key balance sheet ratios are usually close to peers but one or more ratios (e.g. leverage) may be higher than peer. Earnings may be trending down over the last three years. Borrower may be able to obtain similar financing from other banks with comparable or less favorable terms. Risk of default is acceptable but requires collateral protection.

 

4 – Pass/monitor

The borrower has significant weaknesses resulting from performance trends or management concerns. The financial condition of the company has taken a negative turn and may be temporarily strained. Cash flow may be weak but cash reserves remain adequate to meet debt service. Management weaknesses are evident. Borrowers in this category will warrant more than the normal level of supervision and more frequent reporting.

 

5 – Special mention (watch)

Special mention credits are considered bankable assets with no apparent loss of principal or interest envisioned but requiring a high level of management attention. Assets in this category are currently protected but are potentially weak. These borrowers are subject to economic, industry, or management factors having an adverse impact upon their prospects for orderly service of debt. The perceived risk in continued lending is considered to have increased beyond the level where such loans would normally be granted. These assets constitute an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a classification of Substandard.

 

6 – Substandard

This classification consists of loans which are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. Financial statements normally reveal some or all of the following: poor trends, lack of earnings and cash flow, excessive debt, lack of liquidity, and the absence of creditor protection. Loans are still considered collectible, but due to increased risks and defined weaknesses of the credit, some loss could be incurred in collection if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

7 – Doubtful

This classification consists of loans where the possibility of loss is high after collateral liquidation based upon existing facts, market conditions, and value. Loss is deferred until certain important and reasonably specific pending factors which may strengthen the credit can be exactly determined. These factors may include proposed acquisitions, liquidation procedures, capital injection and receipt of additional collateral, mergers or refinancing plans.

 

Performing loans are loans that are paying as agreed and are approximately less than ninety days past due on payments of interest and principal.

 

The Bancorp's credit quality indicators, are summarized below at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

 

 

 

No loans were modified in a troubled debt restructuring, nor have any previous troubled debt restructurings subsequently defaulted, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. Six residential real estate loans with a pre-modification outstanding recorded investment of $792 thousand and a post-modification outstanding recorded investment of $770 thousand qualified as troubled debt restructurings during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. One residential real estate loan with a recorded investment of $106 thousand and one construction & land development loan with a recorded investment of $707 thousand subsequently defaulted during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. All of the loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are also considered impaired. The valuation basis for the Bancorp’s troubled debt restructurings is based on the present value of cash flows, unless consistent cash flows are not present, then the fair value of the collateral securing the loan is the basis for valuation. Troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted during the period are loans that were restructured and, subsequent to restructuring, were moved to nonaccrual status and failed to comply with the guidelines of the restructured note. Troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted are presented for comparison purposes and are relevant only to the period in which the subsequent default occurred.
