Basis of Presentation and Risks and Uncertainties

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2020, the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. All such adjustments were of a normal, recurring nature. Reference is made to the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for a discussion of accounting policies and other relevant information with respect to the financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.

Risks and Uncertainties

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and increased unemployment levels. The resulting temporary closure of many businesses and the implementation of social distancing and sheltering-in-place policies have impacted and may continue to impact many of the Company’s customers. While the full effects of the pandemic remain unknown, the Company is committed to supporting its customers, employees and communities during this difficult time. The Company has provided hardship relief assistance to customers, including the consideration of various loan payment deferral and fee waiver options, and encouraged customers to reach out for assistance to support their individual circumstances.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed by the President of the United States. Certain provisions within the CARES Act encourage financial institutions to practice prudent efforts to work with borrowers impacted by COVID-19. Under these provisions, which the Company has applied, modifications deemed to be COVID-19-related are not considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the loan was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 and the deferral was executed between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of 60 days after the date of termination of the COVID-19 national emergency or December 31, 2020. The banking regulators issued similar guidance, which also clarified that a COVID-19-related modification would not meet the requirements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to be a TDR if the borrower was current on payments at the time the underlying loan modification program was implemented and if the modification is considered to be short-term. The Company generally offered impacted borrowers loan payment deferrals of 90 days in duration. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had deferred payments for 1,483 loans with an aggregate loan balance of $774 million. During the third quarter of 2020, most of these borrowers resumed normal payments. However, some borrowers requested a second 90 day deferral, with certain of the borrowers resuming interest payments, but deferring scheduled principal payments. The deferred amounts are generally added by the Company to the payoff balance of the loan at maturity. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had remaining payment deferrals related to 207 loans with an aggregate loan balance of $186 million. Approximately $158 million of the $186 million in deferrals were second deferrals and for $100 million of the total deferrals, the borrower is scheduled to make interest payments with only principal being deferred.

Additionally, the Company is a lender for the Small Business Administration's (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), a program under the CARES Act, and other SBA, Federal Reserve or United States Treasury programs that have been created in response to the pandemic and may be a lender under such programs created in the future. These programs are new and their effects on the Company’s business remain uncertain. Through September 30, 2020, the Company had approved and funded 2,810 PPP loans totaling approximately $244.9 million.

In a period of economic contraction, elevated levels of loan losses and lost interest income may occur.  The Company continues to accrue interest on loans modified in accordance with the CARES Act.  To the extent those borrowers are unable to resume normal contractual payments, the Company could experience additional losses of principal and interest.
