Loans Loans
The Company periodically reviews and updates the segmentation of its loan portfolio. Updates performed in conjunction with adoption of ASC 326 in 2023 consisted of reporting what had been a single class, commercial real estate loans, as three classes - commercial real estate owner occupied, commercial real estate non-owner occupied, and commercial multi-family. In addition home equity installment loans which had previously been included in the residential term class were included in the home equity revolving and term class. In the first quarter of 2024, a new segment was established for Agriculture loans; certain prior period information of these loans continues to be included in the C&I and CRE non-owner occupied segments.

Loan Portfolio by Class: The following table shows the composition of the Company's loan portfolio by class of financing receivable as of September 30, 2024 and 2023 and at December 31, 2023:

Loan balances include net deferred loan costs of $12,266,000 as of September 30, 2024, $11,479,000 as of December 31, 2023, and $11,213,000 as of September 30, 2023. Net deferred loan costs have increased from a year ago and year-to-date based upon loan origination unit volume over the periods, prepayments, and normal repayment activity. Loan balances in the Residential Term segment also include a valuation adjustment for fair value swaps hedged by certain loans in the portfolio. This adjustment added $2,462,000 to the loan balances as of September 30, 2024, added $2,149,000 to the loan balances as of December 31, 2023 and subtracted $705,000 from the loan balances as of September 30, 2023.
Pursuant to collateral agreements, qualifying first mortgage loans and commercial real estate loans, which totaled $622,370,000 at September 30, 2024, were used to collateralize borrowings from the FHLBB. This compares to qualifying loans which totaled $561,574,000 at December 31, 2023, and $525,904,000 at September 30, 2023. In addition, commercial, residential construction and home equity loans totaling $364,068,000 at September 30, 2024, $320,083,000 at December 31, 2023, and $332,657,000 at September 30, 2023, were used to collateralize a standby line of credit at the FRBB.

Non-Accrual Loans: For all classes, loans are placed on non-accrual status when, 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 or when principal and interest is 90 days or more past due unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection (in which case the loan may continue to accrue interest in spite of its past due status). A loan is "well secured" if it is secured (1) by collateral in the form of liens on or pledges of real or personal property, including securities, that have a realizable value sufficient to discharge the debt (including accrued interest) in full, or (2) by the guarantee of a financially responsible party. A loan is "in the process of collection" if collection of the loan is proceeding in due course either (1) through legal action, including judgment enforcement procedures, or, (2) in appropriate circumstances, through collection efforts not involving legal action which are reasonably expected to result in repayment of the debt or in its restoration to a current status in the near future.
Cash payments received on non-accrual loans are applied to reduce the loan's principal balance until the remaining principal balance is deemed collectible, after which interest is recognized when collected. As a general rule, a loan may be restored to accrual status when payments are current for a substantial period of time, generally six months, and repayment of the remaining contractual amounts is expected, or when it otherwise becomes well secured and in the process of collection.
The following table presents the amortized costs basis of loans on nonaccrual status as of September 30, 2024, December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023:

Individually Analyzed Loans: IAL include loans with balances of $250,000 or more that have either been placed into non-accrual or are loans identified by management as having characteristics that may impact ultimate collectibility and therefore merit individual analysis. These loans are measured at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of an IAL loan is lower than the recorded investment in the loan and estimated selling costs, a specific reserve is established for the difference, or, in certain situations, if the measure of an IAL loan is lower than the recorded investment in the loan and estimated selling costs, the difference is written off.
