At December 31, 2012, loans with a balance of $787.6 million were pledged as security for Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, or FHLB, advances. Non-covered loan balances include net deferred loan costs of $6.9 million and $3.4 million at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. 
 
Most of the Company’s lending activity is with customers located in Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and San Luis Obispo Counties and most loans are secured by or dependent on real estate. Although the Company has no significant exposure to any individual customer, economic conditions, particularly the recent sustained decline in real estate values in Southern California, could adversely affect customers and their ability to satisfy their obligations under their loan agreements.
 
Changes in the allowance for non-covered loan losses were as follows:

Nonaccrual loans are those loans for which management has discontinued accrual of interest because reasonable doubt exists as to the full and timely collection of either principal or interest. Nonaccrual loans are also considered impaired loans. Total non-covered nonaccrual loans totaled $14.6 million at December 31, 2012 as compared to $13.9 million at December 31, 2011. The allowance for loan losses maintained for non-covered nonaccrual loans was $4.0 million and $3.1 million at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Had these loans performed according to their original terms, additional interest income of $0.7 million and $0.8 million would have been recognized in the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 
 
The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of our non-covered nonaccrual loans at the dates indicated.

Included in non-covered nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2012 were seventeen restructured loans totaling $5.3 million. The seventeen loans consist of three home mortgage loans, one multifamily loan and thirteen commercial loans. Interest income recognized on these loans was $119,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. We have no commitments to lend additional funds to these borrowers. 
 
Included in non-covered nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2011 were nine restructured loans totaling $2.8 million. The nine loans consist of one home mortgage loan and eight commercial loans. Interest income recognized on these loans was $34,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. We had no commitments to lend additional funds to these borrowers.
 
Credit Quality Indicators
 
All loans are risk rated based on analysis of the current state of the borrower’s credit quality. This analysis of credit quality includes a review of all sources of repayment, the borrower’s current financial and liquidity status and all other relevant information. The Company utilizes a ten grade risk rating system, where a higher grade represents a higher level of credit risk. The ten grade risk rating system can be generally classified by the following categories: Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. The risk ratings reflect the relative strength of the sources of repayment. 
 
Pass loans are generally considered to have sufficient sources of repayment in order to repay the loan in full in accordance with all terms and conditions. These borrowers may have some credit risk that requires monitoring, but full repayment is expected. Special Mention loans are considered to have potential weaknesses that warrant close attention by management. Special Mention is considered a transitory grade and generally, the Company does not have a loan stay graded Special Mention for longer than six months. If any potential weaknesses are resolved, the loan is upgraded to a Pass grade. If negative trends in the borrower’s financial status or other information is presented that indicates the repayment sources may become inadequate, the loan is downgraded to a Substandard grade. Substandard loans are considered to have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the full and timely repayment of the loan. Substandard loans have a distinct possibility of loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Additionally, when management has assessed a potential for loss but a distinct possibility of loss is not recognizable, the loan is still classified as Substandard. Doubtful loans have insufficient sources of repayment and a high probability of loss. Loss loans are considered to be uncollectible and of such little value that they are no longer considered bankable assets. These internal risk ratings are reviewed continuously and adjusted due to changes in borrower status and likelihood of loan repayment.

The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, the Company does not expect to be able to collect all amounts due according to the loan contract, including scheduled interest payments. Impaired loans are determined by periodic evaluation on an individual loan basis. The average investment in non-covered impaired loans was $19.5 million and $17.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. There was $360,000 of interest income recognized on non-covered impaired loans in the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and no interest income was recognized in the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. Recorded investments in non-covered impaired loans were $23.0 million and $13.9 million at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Of the $23.0 million of non-covered impaired loans at December 31, 2012, $18.5 million had specific reserves totaling $5.0 million. Of the $13.9 million of non-covered impaired loans at December 31, 2011, $11.1 million had specific reserves totaling $3.1 million. 
 
Impaired non-covered loans as of December 31, 2012 are set forth in the following table.

The Bank’s policy is that loans placed on nonaccrual status will typically remain on nonaccrual status until all principal and interest payments are brought current and the prospect for future payment performance in accordance with the loan agreement appear relatively certain. The Bank’s policy generally refers to six months of payment performance as sufficient to warrant a return to accrual status. 
 
The following tables present newly restructured non-covered loans that occurred during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
