Patriot's lending activities are conducted principally in Fairfield and New Haven Counties in Connecticut and Westchester County in New York, and the
five
Boroughs of New York City. Patriot originates commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans, a variety of consumer loans, and construction loans, and has purchased residential loans since
2016.
All commercial and residential real estate loans are collateralized primarily by
first
or
second
mortgages on real estate. The ability and willingness of borrowers to satisfy their loan obligations is dependent to some degree on the status of the regional economy as well as upon the regional real estate market. Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of the loan portfolio and the recovery of a substantial portion of any resulting real estate acquired is susceptible to changes in market conditions.
 
Patriot has established credit policies applicable to each type of lending activity in which it engages and evaluates the creditworthiness of each borrower. Unless extenuating circumstances exist, Patriot limits the extension of credit on commercial real estate loans to
75%
of the market value of the underlying collateral. Patriot's loan origination policy for multi-family residential real estate is limited to
80%
of the market value of the underlying collateral. In the case of construction loans, the maximum loan-to-value is
75%
of the “as completed” appraised value of the real estate project. Management monitors the appraised value of collateral on an on-going basis and additional collateral is requested when warranted. Real estate is the primary form of collateral, although other forms of collateral do exist and
may
include such assets as accounts receivable, inventory, marketable securities, time deposits, and other business assets.
 
In
May 2018,
loans were acquired in connection with the Prime Bank merger. A subset of these loans was determined to have evidence of credit deterioration at the acquisition date, which was accounted for in accordance with ASC
310
-
30.
The purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans presently maintain a carrying value of
zero
as of
December 
31,
 
2020
and
$176,000
as of
December 31, 2019,
respectively. The loans were evaluated for impairment through the periodic reforecasting of expected cash flows.
 
Income is recognized on PCI loans pursuant to ASC Topic
310
-
30.
A portion of the fair value discount has been ascribed as an accretable yield that is accreted into interest income over the estimated remaining life of the loans. The remaining non-accretable difference represents cash flows
not
expected to be collected.

The accretion of the accretable discount for PCI loans for the year end
December 31, 2020,
2019
and
2018
 was
$2,000,
$47,000
and
$92,000,
respectively. The other changes represent primarily loans that were either fully paid-off or totally charged off.
 
Risk characteristics of the Company
'
s portfolio classes include the following:
 
Commercial Real Estate Loans
In underwriting commercial real estate loans, Patriot evaluates both the prospective borrower's ability to make timely payments on the loan and the value of the property securing the loans. Repayment of such loans
may
be negatively impacted should the borrower default, the value of the property collateralizing the loan substantially decline, or there are declines in general economic conditions. Where the owner occupies the property, Patriot also evaluates the business' ability to repay the loan on a timely basis and
may
require personal guarantees, lease assignments, and/or the guarantee of the operating company.
 
Residential Real Estate Loans
In
2013,
Patriot discontinued offering primary mortgages on personal residences. Repayment of residential real estate loans and the loans secured by residential real estate
may
be negatively impacted should the borrower have financial difficulties, should there be a significant decline in the value of the property securing the loan, or should there be declines in general economic conditions.
 
In
2020
and
2019,
Patriot purchased
$17.9
million and
$47.3
million of residential real estate loans, respectively.
 
Commercial and Industrial Loans
Patriot's commercial and industrial loan portfolio consists primarily of commercial business loans and lines of credit to businesses and professionals. These loans are generally for the financing of accounts receivable, purchases of inventory, purchases of new or used equipment, or for other short- or long-term working capital purposes. These loans are generally secured by business assets but are also occasionally offered on an unsecured basis. In granting these types of loans, Patriot considers the borrower's cash flow as the primary source of repayment, supported by the value of collateral, if any, and personal guarantees, as applicable. Repayment of commercial and industrial loans
may
be negatively impacted by adverse changes in economic conditions, ineffective management, claims on the borrower's assets by others that are superior to Patriot's claims, a loss of demand for the borrower's products or services, or the death or disability of the borrower or other key management personnel.
 
Patriot's syndicated and leveraged loan portfolios totaled
$55.0
million and
$71.5
million at
December 
31,
 
2020
and
2019,
respectively. The syndicated and leveraged loans are included in the commercial and industrial loan classification and are primarily comprised of loan transactions led by major financial institutions and regional banks, which are the Agent Bank or Lead Arranger, and are referred to as syndicated loans or "Shared National Credits (SNC)". SNC loans were determined to be complementary to the Bank's existing commercial and industrial loan portfolio and product offerings and provide diversification from Patriot's typical direct-to-business lines of credit and term facilities. The Bank will participate in senior secured financings for public and privately-owned companies for acquisitions, working capital, recapitalizations, and general corporate purposes. The Bank's strategy is to participate in these types of loan transaction in accordance with its internal policies.
 
Consumer and Other Loans
Patriot offers individual consumers various forms of credit including installment loans, credit cards, overdraft protection, auto loans, and reserve lines of credit. Repayments of such loans are generally dependent on the personal income of the borrower, which
may
be negatively impacted by adverse changes in economic conditions. The Company does
not
place a high emphasis on originating these types of loans.
 
The Company does
not
have any lending programs commonly referred to as subprime lending. Subprime lending generally targets borrowers with weakened credit histories that are typically characterized by payment delinquencies, previous charge-offs, judgments against the consumer, a history of bankruptcies, or borrowers with questionable repayment capacity as evidenced by low credit scores or high debt-burdened ratios.
 
During
2020
and
2019,
$14.9
million and
$7.3
million education loans were purchased, respectively.
 
Construction Loans
Construction loans are of a short-term nature, generally of
eighteen
months or less, that are secured by land and improvements intended for commercial, residential, or mixed-use development. Loan proceeds
may
be used for the acquisition of or improvements to the land under development and funds are generally disbursed as phases of construction are completed.
 
Included in this category are loans to construct single family homes where
no
contract of sale exists, based upon the experience and financial strength of the builder, the type and location of the property, and other factors. Construction loans tend to be personally guaranteed by the principal(s). Repayment of such loans
may
be negatively impacted by an inability to complete construction, a downturn in the market for new construction, by a significant increase in interest rates, or by decline in general economic conditions.
 
Construction to Permanent - Commercial Real Estate (
CRE
)
Loans in this category represent a
one
-time close of a construction facility with simultaneous conversion to an amortizing mortgage loan. Construction to Permanent loans combine a short term period similar to a construction loan, generally with a variable rate, and a longer term CRE loan typically
20
-
25
years, resetting every
five
years to the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) rate.
 
Close of the construction facility typically occurs when events dictate, such as receipt of a certificate of occupancy and property stabilization, which is defined as cash flow sufficient to support a pre-defined minimum debt coverage ratio and other conditions and covenants particular to the loan. Construction facilities are typically variable rate instruments that, upon conversion to an amortizing mortgage loan, reset to a fixed rate instrument that is the greater of the in-force variable rate plus a predetermined spread over a reference rate (e.g., prime) or a minimum interest rate.
 
SBA Loans
Patriot originates SBA
7
(a) loans, on which the SBA has historically provided guarantees of
75
percent of the principal balance. The guaranteed portion of the Company's SBA loans is generally sold in the secondary market with the unguaranteed portion held in the portfolio as a loan held for investment. SBA loans are for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate and for other business purposes. Loans are guaranteed by the businesses' major owners. SBA loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the business and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided. SBA loans held for investment are included in the commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loan classifications, which totaled
$21.6
million and
$9.6
million at
December 
31,
 
2020
and
2019,
respectively.

Patriot monitors the credit quality of its loans receivable on an ongoing basis. Credit quality is monitored by reviewing certain indicators, including cash flow from business operations, loan to value ratios, debt service coverage ratios, and credit scores.
 
Patriot employs a risk rating system as part of the risk assessment of its loan portfolio. At origination, lending officers are required to assign a risk rating to each loan in their portfolio, which is ratified or modified by the Loan Committee to which the loan is submitted for approval. If financial developments occur on a loan in the lending officer's portfolio of responsibility, the risk rating is reviewed and adjusted, as applicable. In carrying out its oversight responsibilities, the Loan Committee can adjust a risk rating based on available information. In addition, the risk ratings on all commercial loans over
$250,000
are reviewed annually by the Credit Department.
 
Additionally, Patriot retains an independent
third
-party loan review expert to perform a quarterly analysis of the results of its risk rating process. The quarterly review is based on a randomly selected sample of loans within established parameters (e.g., value, concentration), in order to assess and validate the risk ratings assigned to individual loans. Any changes to the assigned risk ratings, based on the quarterly review, are required to be approved by the Loan Committee.
 
When assigning a risk rating to a loan, management utilizes the Bank's internal
eleven
-point risk rating system. An asset is considered “special mention” when it has a potential weakness based on objective evidence, but does
not
currently expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant classification in
one
of the following categories:
 
Substandard: An asset is classified “substandard” if it is
not
adequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets have well defined weaknesses based on objective evidence, and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss, if noted deficiencies are
not
corrected.
Doubtful: Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified as “substandard”, with the added characteristic that the identified weaknesses make collection or liquidation-in-full improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values.
 
Charge-offs of loans to reduce the loan to its recoverable value that are solely collateral dependent, generally occur immediately upon confirmation of the partial loss amount. Loans that are cash flow dependent are modeled to reflect the expected cash flows through expected loan maturity, including any proceeds from refinancing or principal curtailment. A specific reserve is established for the amount by which the net investment in the loan exceeds the present value of discounted cash flows. Charge-offs on cash flow dependent loans also generally occur immediately upon confirmation of the partial loss amount.
 
If either type of loan is classified as “Loss”, meaning full loss on the loan is expected, the full balance of the loan receivable is charged off, regardless of the potential recovery from a sale of the underlying collateral. Any amount that
may
be recovered on the sale of collateral underlying a loan is recognized as a “recovery” in the period in which the collateral is sold. In accordance with Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council published policies establishing uniform criteria for the classification of retail credit based on delinquency status, “Open-end” and “Closed-end” credits are charged off when
180
days and
120
days delinquent, respectively.
 
Due to the economic disruption and uncertainty caused by the pandemic, the allowance for loan losses
may
increase in future periods as borrowers are affected by the expected severe contraction of economic activity and the dramatic increase in unemployment. This
may
result in increases in loan delinquencies, down-grades of loan credit ratings and charge-offs in future periods. The allowance for loan losses
may
increase to reflect the decline in the performance of the loan portfolio and the higher level of incurred losses.

If non-accrual loans had been performing in accordance with the original contractual terms, additional interest income (net of cash collected) of approximately
$904,000,
$302,000,
and
$503,000
would have been recognized in income for the years ended
December 
31,
 
2020,
2019,
and
2018,
respectively.
 
Interest income collected and recognized on non-accruing loans for the year ended
December 
31,
 
2020
and
2019
was
$156,000
and
$671,000,
respectively.
No
interest income was collected and recognized on non-accruing loans during
2018.
 
The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is
90
days past due for payment unless the loan is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer installment loans are typically charged off
no
later than
180
days past due. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual status or charged-off, at an earlier date, if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
 
All interest accrued, but
not
collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual status or charged off, is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis method until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, future payments are reasonably assured, after at least
six
months of timely payment history. Management considers all non-accrual loans and Trouble Debt Restructurings (“TDR”) for impaired loans. In most cases, loan payments that are past due less than
90
days, well-secured, and in the process of collection are
not
considered impaired. The Bank considers consumer installment loans to be pools of smaller homogeneous loan balances, which are collectively evaluated for impairment.
 
Troubled Debt Restructurings (
TDR
)
 
On a case-by-case basis, Patriot
may
agree to modify the contractual terms of a borrower's loan to assist customers who
may
be experiencing financial difficulty. If the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and a concession has been made, the loan is classified as a TDR.
 
Substantially all TDR loan modifications involve lowering the monthly payments on such loans through either a reduction in interest rate below market rate, an extension of the term of the loan, or a combination of adjusting these
two
contractual attributes. TDR loan modifications
may
also result in the forgiveness of principal or accrued interest. In addition, when modifying commercial loans, Patriot frequently obtains additional collateral or guarantor support. If the borrower has performed under the existing contractual terms of the loan and Patriot's underwriters determine that the borrower has the capacity to continue to perform under the terms of the TDR, the loan continues accruing interest. Non-accruing TDRs
may
be returned to accrual status when there has been a sustained period of performance (generally
six
consecutive months of payments) and both principal and interest are reasonably assured of collection.
 
The recorded investment in TDRs as of
December 
31,
 
2020
and
2019
were
$11.9
million and
$11.0
million, respectively.

During the years ended
December 
31,
2018,
no
loans were modified as TDRs, and
no
defaults of TDRs.
 
The loans modified in a TDR often involve reducing the interest rate for the remaining term of the loan, extending the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, extending payment periods for the interest and /or principal, or substituting or adding a co-borrower or guarantor.
 
At
December 
31,
 
2020
and
2019,
there were
no
commitments to advance additional funds under TDRs. The balances reflected here as TDR's are also included in the non-accruing loan balance included in the prior table - Loan Portfolio Aging Analysis.
 
Pursuant to the CARES Act, loan modifications made between
March 1, 2020
and the earlier of i)
December 30, 2020
or ii)
60
days after the President declares a termination of the COVID-
19
national emergency are
not
classified as TDRs if the related loans were
not
more than
30
days past due as of
December 31, 2019.
In addition, on
April 7, 2020,
a group of banking regulatory agencies issued a revised interagency statement that offers practical expedients for evaluating whether COVID-
19
loan modifications are TDRs. The Bank had modified
$232.4
million of loans to borrowers to defer the payment of interest and/or principal for up to
180
days, and approximately
$52.6
million of loans remained on deferment as of
December 31, 2020.
According to regulatory guidance and CARES Act, these modified loans were
not
TDRs as of
December 31, 2020,
other than those that had been classified as TDRs prior to the deferral provided under the CARES Act.
 
Impaired Loans
 
Impaired loans
may
consist of non-accrual loans and/or performing and non-performing TDRs. As of
December 
31,
 
2020
and
2019,
based on the on-going monitoring and analysis of the loan portfolio, impaired loans of
$24.4
million and
$19.6
million, respectively, were identified, for which
$1.4
million and
$1.5
million specific reserves were established, respectively. Loans
not
requiring specific reserves had fair values exceeding the total recorded investment, supporting the net investment in the loan which includes principal balance, unamortized fees and costs and accrued interest, if any. Once a borrower is in default, Patriot is under
no
obligation to advance additional funds on unused commitments.
 
At
December 
31,
 
2020
and
2019,
exposure to the impaired loans was related to
26
and
27
borrowers, respectively. For collateral dependent loans, appraisal reports of the underlying collateral, have been obtained from independent licensed appraisal firms. For non-performing loans, the independently determined appraised values were
first
reduced by a discount to reflect the Bank's experience selling Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) properties, and were further reduced by
8%
in selling costs, in order to estimate the potential loss, if any, that
may
eventually be realized. As of
December 31, 2020,
the discount rate was reduced to
5.8%
as compared to
12%
in
2019.
The change in accounting estimate reduced loan charge-offs by
$266,000
for the year ended
December 31, 2020.
Performing loans are monitored to determine when, if at all, additional loan loss reserves
may
be required for a loss of underlying collateral value. For cash flow dependent loans, the Bank determined the reserve based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate.
 
PCI loans acquired from Prime Bank acquisition were originally recorded at fair value by the Bank on the date of acquisition. As of
December 31, 2020
and
December 31, 2019,
PCI loans remaining balance was
$0
and
$179,000,
respectively. Those loans were considered individually evaluated for impairment, with
no
allowance recorded.
 
The following table reflects information about the impaired loans, excluding PCI loans, by class as of
December 
31,
 
2020
