Management has an established methodology to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio. For purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company has segmented loans in the portfolio by product type. Loans are segmented into the following pools: commercial loans, commercial real estate loans, residential real estate loans and consumer loans. The Company also sub-segments the consumer loan portfolio into the following two classes: home equity loans and other consumer loans. Historical loss percentages for each risk category are calculated and used as the basis for calculating allowance allocations. These historical loss percentages are calculated over multiple periods for all portfolio segments. Management evaluates these results and utilizes the most reflective period in the calculation. Certain qualitative factors are then added to the historical allocation percentage to get the adjusted factor.

These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

Factor Considered:		Risk Trend:
Levels of and trends in charge-offs, classifications and non-accruals		Stable
Trends in volume and terms		Stable
Changes in lending policies and procedures		Stable
Experience, depth and ability of management, including loan review function		Stable
Economic trends, including valuation of underlying collateral		Stable
Concentrations of credit		Stable

The following factors are analyzed and applied to loans internally graded with higher credit risk in addition to the above factors for non-classified loans:

Factor Considered:		Risk Trend:
Levels and trends in classification		Stable
Declining trends in financial performance		Stable
Structure and lack of performance measures		Stable
Migration between risk categories		Stable

The provision charged to operations can be allocated to a loan classification either as a positive or negative value as a result of any material changes to: net charge-offs or recovery which influence the historical allocation percentage, qualitative risk factors or loan balances.

The following is an analysis of changes in the allowance for loan losses for the periods ended:

The decrease in commercial loan balances from year-end was due in part to 90-day or less term commercial loans for a total of $24.2 million that closed in December 2015 and were fully secured by segregated deposit accounts with the Bank. The loans matured in the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in the allowance for commercial loans is due to a reduction of specific reserves of $834,000 due to the favorable settlement of related loans offset by the increase in the historical factor. The increase in the provision for commercial real estate loans is due mainly to an increase in the historical factor along with an increase in loan charge-offs. Along with the impact of classified loans, the amount of net charge-offs also impacts the provision charged to operations for any category of loans. Charge-offs affect the historical rate applied to each category, and the amount needed to replenish the amount charged-off, which impacted home equity and consumer loans as well as commercial real estate loans.

The following tables represent credit exposures by internally assigned grades for June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations of the loan agreements as scheduled or at all. The Company’s internal credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans.

The Company’s internally assigned grades are as follows:

●

Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral. Within this category, there are grades of exceptional, quality, acceptable and pass monitor.

●

Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected.

●

Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

●

Doubtful – loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset but with the severity which makes collection in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances.

●

Loss – loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted. This rating does not mean that the assets have no recovery or salvage value but rather that the assets should be charged off now, even though partial or full recovery may be possible in the future.

The following table is a summary of credit quality indicators by internally assigned grades as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

	(Amounts in thousands)

The Company evaluates the classification of consumer, home equity and residential loans primarily on a pooled basis. If the Company becomes aware that adverse or distressed conditions exist that may affect a particular loan, the loan is downgraded following the above definitions of special mention and substandard. Nonaccrual loans in these categories are evaluated for charge off or charge down, and the remaining balance has the same allowance factor as pooled loans.

The following table is a summary of consumer credit exposure as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

	(Amounts in thousands)
	Residential real estate		Consumer - home equity		Consumer - other
June 30, 2016

Nonperforming		1,252		262		—
Total	$	45,414	$	23,334	$	3,756

Loans are considered to be nonperforming when they become 90 days past due or on nonaccrual status, though the Company may be receiving partial payments of interest and partial repayments of principal on such loans. When a loan is placed in non-accrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income. Loans in foreclosure are considered nonperforming.

The following table is a summary of classes of loans on non-accrual status as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Troubled Debt Restructuring

Nonperforming loans also include certain loans that have been modified in troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Company’s loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months.

There were no loans modified as TDRs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. None of the loans that were approved as TDR’s in 2014 or 2015 have subsequently defaulted in the twelve month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2016.

An impaired loan is a loan on which, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due (including both interest and principal) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. However, an insignificant delay or insignificant shortfall in amount of payments on a loan does not indicate that the loan is impaired.

When a loan is determined to be impaired, impairment should be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. However, as a practical expedient, the Company will measure impairment based on a loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The following are the criteria for selecting individual loans / relationships for impairment analysis. Non-homogenous loans which meet the criteria below are evaluated quarterly.

●

All borrowers whose loans are classified doubtful by examiners and internal loan review

●

All loans on non-accrual status

●

Any loan in foreclosure

●

Any loan with a specific allowance

●

Any loan determined to be collateral dependent for repayment

●

Loans classified as troubled debt restructuring

Commercial loans and commercial real estate loans evaluated for impairment are excluded from the general pool of loans in the ALLL calculation regardless if a specific reserve was determined. If management determines that the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance.

The following table presents the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired loans, excluding homogenous loans for which impaired analyses are not necessarily performed, with the associated allowance amount, if applicable, at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Also presented are the average recorded investments in the impaired balances and interest income recognized after impairment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
