Commitments, Contingent Liabilities And Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

(14)  COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OFF-BALANCE‑SHEET RISK

In the normal course of business, various commitments and contingent liabilities are outstanding, such as guarantees and commitments to extend credit, borrow money or act in a fiduciary capacity, which are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Management does not anticipate any significant losses as a result of these commitments.

DNB had outstanding stand-by letters of credit totaling $2.3 million and unfunded loan and lines of credit commitments totaling $190.8 million at December 31, 2018, of which, $166.2 million were variable rate and $24.6 million were fixed rate. The amount of reserve for unfunded loan commitments at December 31, 2018 was $395,000. DNB had outstanding stand-by letters of credit totaling $4.6 million and unfunded loan and lines of credit commitments totaling $176.6 million at December 31, 2017, of which, $164.9 million were variable rate and $11.6 million were fixed rate. The amount of reserve for unfunded loan commitments at December 31, 2016 was $348,000.

These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet. The exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and stand-by letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount. Management uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance‑sheet instruments.

Stand-by letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by DNB to guarantee the performance or repayment of a financial obligation of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risks involved in issuing letters of credit are essentially the same as those involved in extending loan facilities to customers. DNB holds various forms of collateral to support these commitments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. DNB evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral, if any, obtained upon the extension of credit, usually consists of real estate, but may include securities, property or other assets.

DNB maintains borrowing arrangements with correspondent banks and the FHLBP, as well as access to the discount window at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia to meet short-term liquidity needs. Through these relationships, DNB has available credit of approximately $568.6 million.

Assets held by DNB First Wealth Management in a fiduciary, custody or agency capacity at December 31, 2018 totaled $253.3 million. These assets are not assets of DNB, and are not included in the consolidated financial statements.

DNB is a party to a number of lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. While any litigation causes an element of uncertainty, management is of the opinion that the liability, if any, resulting from the actions, will not have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
