The Company's loan concentrations which exceed 10% of total loans are reflected in the preceding tables.  A substantial portion of construction, acquisition and development loans are secured by real estate in markets in which the Company is located.  Prior to March 2010, some of these loans were structured with interest reserves to fund interest costs during the construction and development period.  The Company's general loan policy was changed in March 2010 to prohibit the use of interest reserves on loans made after that time.  Additionally, certain of these loans are structured with interest-only terms.  A portion of the consumer mortgage and commercial real estate portfolios originated through the permanent financing of construction, acquisition and development loans.  The prolonged economic downturn has negatively impacted many borrowers' and guarantors' ability to make payments under the terms of the loans as their liquidity has been depleted.  Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of these loans and the recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying amount of other real estate owned are susceptible to changes in real estate values in these areas.  Continued economic distress could negatively impact additional borrowers' and guarantors' ability to repay their debt which will make more of the Company's loans collateral dependent.

The Company utilizes an internal loan classification system to grade loans according to certain credit quality indicators.  These credit quality indicators include, but are not limited to, recent credit performance, delinquency, liquidity, cash flows, debt coverage ratios, collateral type and loan-to-value ratio.  The Company's internal loan classification system is compatible with classifications used by the FDIC, as well as other regulatory agencies.  Loans may be classified as follows:

Pass:  Loans which are performing as agreed with few or no signs of weakness.  These loan show sufficient cash flow, capital and collateral to repay the loan as agreed.  Borrowers for these loans include well capitalized public corporations.

Special Mention:  Loans where potential weaknesses have developed which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected.

Substandard:  Loans where well-defined weaknesses exist that require corrective action to prevent further deterioration.

Doubtful:  Loans having all the characteristics of Substandard and which have deteriorated to a point where collection and liquidation in full is highly questionable.

Loss:  Loans that are considered uncollectible or with limited possible recovery.

Impaired:  Loans for which it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement and for which a specific impairment reserve has been considered.

Loans considered impaired under FASB ASC 310 are loans for which, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The Company's recorded investment in loans considered impaired at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $234.9 million and $273.4 million, respectively.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, $117.7 million and $151.4 million, respectively, of those impaired loans had a valuation allowance of $39.7 million and $40.7 million, respectively.  The remaining balance of impaired loans of $117.2 million and $122.0 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were charged down to fair value, less estimated selling costs, which approximated net realizable value.  Therefore, such loans did not have an associated valuation allowance.  Impaired loans that were characterized as TDRs totaled $58.0 million and $63.7 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The average recorded investment in impaired loans during 2011 and 2010 was $309.6 million and $218.8 million, respectively.
NPLs consist of non-accrual loans and leases, loans and leases 90 days or more past due and still accruing, and loans and leases that have been restructured because of the borrower's weakened financial condition. The following table presents information concerning NPLs at December 31, 2011 and 2010:

The Bank's policy for all loan classifications provides that loans and leases are generally placed in non-accrual status if, in management's opinion, payment in full of principal or interest is not expected or payment of principal or interest is more than 90 days past due, unless the loan or lease is both well-secured and in the process of collection.  At December 31, 2011, the Company's geographic NPL distribution was concentrated primarily in its Alabama, Missouri and Tennessee markets, including the greater Memphis, Tennessee area, a portion of which is in northwest Mississippi and Arkansas.  The following table presents the Company's nonaccrual loans and leases by segment and class at December 31, 2011 and 2010:

The total amount of interest earned on NPLs was $12.6 million, $11.2 million and $4.1 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The gross interest income which would have been recorded under the original terms of those loans and leases amounted to $18.7 million, $21.7 million and $8.4 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
In the normal course of business, management will sometime grant concessions, which normally would not otherwise be considered, to borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulty.  Loans identified as meeting the criteria set out in FASB ASC 310 are identified as TDRs.  The concessions granted most frequently for TDRs involve reductions or delays in required payments of principal and interest for a specified period, the rescheduling of payments in accordance with a bankruptcy plan or the charge-off of a portion of the loan.  In most cases, the conditions of the credit also warrant nonaccrual status, even after the restructure occurs.  As part of the credit approval process, the restructured loans are evaluated for adequate collateral protection in determining the appropriate accrual status at the time of restructure.  TDR loans recorded as non-accrual may be returned to accrual status in years after the restructure if there has been at least a six-month period of sustained repayment performance by the borrower under the restructured loan terms and the interest rate at the time of restructure was at or above market for a comparable loan.  During 2011, the most common concessions that were granted involved rescheduling payments of principal and interest over a longer amortization period, granting a period of reduced principal payment or interest only payment for a limited time period, or the rescheduling of payments in accordance with a bankruptcy plan.
