Certain loans in the amount of $190.2 million have been pledged under a blanket floating lien to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) as collateral against advances at June 30, 2018.

At June 30, 2018, the Bank was servicing $31.7 million in loans for the Federal National Mortgage Association and $15.5 million in loans for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. At December 31, 2017, the Bank was servicing $33.5 million in loans for the Federal National Mortgage Association and $16.0 million in loans for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.

Credit Quality

An Allowance is provided through charges to income in an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible based on evaluations of the collectability of loans and prior loan loss experience. Management has an established methodology to determine the adequacy of the Allowance that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The methodology takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay. Determining the amount of the Allowance requires the use of estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. While management uses all available information to estimate losses on loans, future additions to the Allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and our actual loss experience. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the Allowance as an integral part of their examination process. Such agencies may require us to recognize additions to the Allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Management believes the Allowance is adequate as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

For purposes of determining the Allowance, we have segmented our loan portfolio by product type. Our portfolio loan segments are residential mortgage, commercial, commercial real estate, construction, land acquisition, and development (“ADC”), Home equity/2nds, and consumer. We have looked at all segments and have determined that no additional subcategorization is warranted based upon our consideration of risk. Our portfolio classes are the same as our portfolio segments.

Inherent Credit Risks

The inherent credit risks within the loan portfolio vary depending upon the loan class as follows:

Residential mortgage - secured by one to four family dwelling units. The loans have limited risk as they are secured by first mortgages on the unit, which are generally the primary residence of the borrower, and are generally at a loan-to-value ratio (“LTV”) of 80% or less.

Commercial - underwritten in accordance with our policies and include evaluating historical and projected profitability and cash flow to determine the borrower’s ability to repay the obligation as agreed. Commercial loans are made primarily based on the identified cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral supporting the loan. Accordingly, the repayment of a commercial loan depends primarily on the creditworthiness of the borrower (and any guarantors), while liquidation of collateral is a secondary and often insufficient source of repayment. Additionally, lines of credit are subject to the underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans, in addition to those underwriting standards for real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow dependent and, secondarily, as loans secured by real-estate and/or other assets. Repayment of these loans is generally dependent upon the principal business conducted on the property securing the loan. Line of credit loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or the economy in general. Management monitors and evaluates line of credit loans based on collateral and risk-rating criteria.

Commercial real estate - subject to the underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial, in addition to those underwriting standards for real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as loans secured by real estate and secondarily as cash flow dependent. As repayment of these loans is generally dependent upon the successful operation of the property securing the loan, we look closely at the cash flows generated by the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or the economy in general. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral and risk-rating criteria. The Bank also utilizes third-party experts to provide environmental and market valuations. The nature of commercial real estate loans makes them more difficult to monitor and evaluate.

ADC - underwritten in accordance with our underwriting policies which include a financial analysis of the developers, property owners, construction cost estimates, and independent appraisal valuations. These loans will rely on the value associated with the project upon completion. These cost and valuation estimates may be inaccurate. Construction loans generally involve the disbursement of substantial funds over a short period of time with repayment substantially dependent upon the success of the completed project rather than the ability of the borrower or guarantor to repay principal and interest. Additionally, land is underwritten according to our policies which include independent appraisal valuations as well as the estimated value associated with the land upon completion of development. These cost and valuation estimates may be inaccurate.

The sources of repayment of these loans is typically permanent financing expected to be obtained upon completion or sales of developed property. These loans are closely monitored by onsite inspections and are considered to be of a higher risk than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to general economic conditions, availability of long-term financing, interest rate sensitivity, and governmental regulation of real property.

If the Bank is forced to foreclose on a project prior to or at completion due to a default, there can be no assurance that the Bank will be able to recover all of the unpaid balance of the loan as well as related foreclosure and holding costs. In addition, the Bank may be required to fund additional amounts to complete the project and may have to hold the property for an unspecified period of time.

Home equity/2nds - subject to the underwriting standards and processes similar to residential mortgages and secured by one to four family dwelling units. Home equity/2nds loans have greater risk than residential mortgages as a result of the Bank generally being in a second lien position.

Consumer - consist of loans to individuals through the Bank’s retail network and typically unsecured or secured by personal property. Consumer loans have a greater credit risk than residential loans because of the lower value of the underlying collateral, if any.

We did not have any loans greater than 90 days past due and still accruing as of June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

The interest which would have been recorded on the above nonaccrual loans if those loans had been performing in accordance with their contractual terms was approximately $1.1 million and $311,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The actual interest income recorded on those loans was approximately $208,000 and $61,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
