Note 5 — Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The Company’s ALLL covers estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans that are determined to be impaired as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan portfolio.  The ALLL is prepared using the information provided by the Company’s credit and investment review process together with data from peer institutions and economic information gathered from published sources.

 

The loan portfolio is segmented into groups of loans with similar risk characteristics.   Each segment possesses varying degrees of risk based on, among other things, the type of loan, the type of collateral, and the sensitivity of the borrower or industry to changes in external factors such as economic conditions.  An estimated loss rate calculated using the Company’s actual historical loss rates adjusted for current portfolio trends, economic conditions, and other relevant internal and external factors, is applied to each group’s aggregate loan balances.

 

The following provides a summary of the ALLL calculation for the major segments within the Company’s loan portfolio.

 

Multi-Family and Non-Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate Loans

 

The Company’s base ALLL factor for multi-family and non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans is determined by management using the Bank’s actual trailing 24 month, trailing 12 month and annualized trailing six month charge-off data.  Adjustments to those base factors are made for relevant internal and external factors.  For multi-family and non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, those factors include:

 

·                  Changes in national, regional and local economic conditions, including trends in real estate values and the interest rate environment,

 

·                  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, and

 

·                  The existence and effect of concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations.

 

The resulting total ALLL factor is compared for reasonableness against the 10-year average, 15-year average, and trailing 12 month total charge-off data for all FDIC insured commercial banks and savings institutions based in California.  This factor is applied to balances graded pass-1 through pass-5.  For loans risk graded as watch or worse, progressively higher potential loss factors are applied based on management’s judgment, taking into consideration the specific characteristics of the Bank’s portfolio and analysis of results from a select group of the Company’s peers.

 

Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate Loans, Commercial and Industrial Loans and SBA Loans

 

The Company’s base ALLL factor for owner occupied commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans and SBA loans is determined by management using the Bank’s actual trailing 24 month, trailing 12 month and annualized trailing six month charge-off data.  Adjustments to those base factors are made for relevant internal and external factors.  For owner occupied commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans and SBA loans, those factors include:

 

·                  Changes in national, regional and local economic conditions, including trends in real estate values and the interest rate environment,

 

·                  Changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, including new types of lending,

 

·                  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, and

 

·                  The existence and effect of concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations.

 

The resulting total ALLL factor is compared for reasonableness against the 10-year average, 15-year average, and trailing 12 month total charge-off data for all FDIC insured commercial banks and savings institutions based in California.  This factor is applied to balances graded pass-1 through pass-5.  For loans risk graded as watch or worse, progressively higher potential loss factors are applied based on management’s judgment, taking into consideration the specific characteristics of the Bank’s portfolio and analysis of results from a select group of the Company’s peers.

 

One-to-Four Family and Consumer Loans

 

The Company’s base ALLL factor for one-to-four family and consumer loans is determined by management using the Bank’s actual trailing 24 month, trailing 12 month and annualized trailing six month charge-off data.  Adjustments to those base factors are made for relevant internal and external factors.  For one-to-four family and consumer loans, those factors include, changes in national, regional and local economic conditions, including trends in real estate values and the interest rate environment.

 

The resulting total ALLL factor is compared for reasonableness against the 10-year average, 15-year average, and trailing 12 month total charge-off data for all FDIC insured commercial banks and savings institutions based in California.  This factor is applied to balances graded pass-1 through pass-5.  For loans risk graded as watch or worse, progressively higher potential loss factors are applied based on management’s judgment, taking into consideration the specific characteristics of the Bank’s portfolio and analysis of results from a select group of the Company’s peers.

 

Warehouse Facilities

 

The Company’s warehouse facilities are structured as repurchase facilities, whereby we purchase funded one-to-four family loans on an interim basis.  Therefore, the base ALLL factor for warehouse facilities is equal to that for one-to-four family and consumer loans as discussed above.  Adjustments to the base factor are made for relevant internal and external factors.  Those factors include changes in national, regional and local economic conditions, including trends in real estate values and the interest rate environment.

 

The resulting total ALLL factor is compared for reasonableness against the 10-year average, 15-year average, and trailing 12 month total charge-off data for one-to-four family loans for all FDIC insured commercial banks and savings institutions based in California.  This factor is applied to balances graded pass-1 through pass-5.  For loans risk graded as watch or worse, progressively higher potential loss factors are applied based on management’s judgment, taking into consideration the specific characteristics of the Bank’s portfolio and analysis of results from a select group of the Company’s peers.
