LOANS, NET	Note 3 LOANS HELD FOR INVESTMENT AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES Loan Portfolio Composition . The composition of the HFI loan portfolio at December 31 was as follows: (Dollars in Thousands) 2020 2019 Commercial, Financial and Agricultural $ 393,930 $ 255,365 Real Estate – Construction 135,831 115,018 Real Estate – Commercial Mortgage 648,393 625,556 Real Estate – Residential (1) 352,543 361,450 Real Estate – Home Equity 205,479 197,360 Consumer (2) 270,250 281,180 Loans Held for Investment, Net of Unearned Income $ 2,006,426 $ 1,835,929 (1) Includes loans in process with outstanding balances of $ (2) Includes overdraft balances of $ 0.7 million and $ 1.6 million for December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net deferred fees, which include premiums on purchased loans, included in loans were $ 0.1 million at December 31, 2020 and net deferred costs were $ 1.8 million at December 31, 2019. Net deferred fees at December 31, 2020 included $ 3.2 million in net fees for SBA PPP loans. Accrued interest receivable on loans which is excluded from amortized cost totaled $ 6.9 million at December 31, 2020 and $ 5.5 million at December 31, 2019, and is reported separately in Other Assets. The Company has pledged a blanket floating lien on all 1-4 family residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate mortgage loans, and home equity loans to support available borrowing capacity at the FHLB of Atlanta and has pledged a blanket floating lien on all consumer loans, commercial loans, and construction loans to support available borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Loan Purchases . The Company will periodically purchase newly originated 1-4 family real estate secured adjustable rate loans from CCHL, a related party effective on March 1, 2020 (see Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies). Loan purchases totaled $ 48.4 million and $ 25.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and were not credit impaired. Allowance for Loan Losses . The methodology for estimating the amount of credit losses reported in the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) has two basic components: first, an asset-specific component involving loans that do not share risk characteristics and the measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans; and second, a pooled component for expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics. This methodology is discussed further in Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies. The following table details the activity in the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment for the year s ended December 31. Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories. ` Commercial , Real Estate Financial, Real Estate Commercial Real Estate Real Estate (Dollars in Thousands) Agricultural Construction Mortgage Residential Home Equity Consumer Total 2020 Beginning Balance $ 1,675 $ 370 $ 3,416 $ 3,128 $ 2,224 $ 3,092 $ 13,905 Impact of Adopting ASC 326 488 302 1,458 1,243 374 (596) 3,269 Provision for Credit Losses 578 1,757 1,865 940 486 3,409 9,035 Charge-Offs (789) - (28) (150) (151) (5,042) (6,160) Recoveries 252 50 318 279 178 2,690 3,767 Net Charge-Offs (537) 50 290 129 27 (2,352) (2,393) Ending Balance $ 2,204 $ 2,479 $ 7,029 $ 5,440 $ 3,111 $ 3,553 $ 23,816 2019 Beginning Balance $ 1,434 $ 280 $ 4,181 $ 3,400 $ 2,301 $ 2,614 $ 14,210 Provision for Credit Losses 664 371 (1,129) (301) 178 2,244 2,027 Charge-Offs (768) (281) (214) (400) (430) (2,878) (4,971) Recoveries 345 - 578 429 175 1,112 2,639 Net Charge-Offs (423) (281) 364 29 (255) (1,766) (2,332) Ending Balance $ 1,675 $ 370 $ 3,416 $ 3,128 $ 2,224 $ 3,092 $ 13,905 2018 Beginning Balance $ 1,191 $ 122 $ 4,346 $ 3,206 $ 2,506 $ 1,936 $ 13,307 Provision for Credit Losses 428 139 (223) 331 137 2,109 2,921 Charge-Offs (644) (7) (315) (780) (533) (2,395) (4,674) Recoveries 459 26 373 643 191 964 2,656 Net Charge-Offs (185) 19 58 (137) (342) (1,431) (2,018) Ending Balance $ 1,434 $ 280 $ 4,181 $ 3,400 $ 2,301 $ 2,614 $ 14,210 On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASC 326 and recorded a pre-tax cumulative effect transition adjustment of $ 3.3 million. The adoption of ASC 326 is discussed further in Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies/Adoption of New Accounting Standards. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the provision for credit losses totaled $ 9.0 million for held for investment loans and net loan charge-offs totaled $ 2.4 million. See Note 21 – Commitments and Contingencies for information on the provision for credit losses related to off-balance sheet commitments. The $ 6.6 million build (provision of $9.0 million less net charge-offs of $2.4 million) in the allowance for credit losses for 2020 was attributable to a deterioration in economic conditions, primarily a high er rate of unemployment due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential effect on rates of default. Three unemployment rate forecast scenarios were utilized to estimate probability of default and were weighted based on management’s estimate of probability. The mitigating impact of the unprecedented fiscal stimulus, including direct payments to individuals, increased unemployment benefits, as well as various government sponsored loan programs, was also considered. Loan Portfolio Aging. A loan is defined as a past due loan when one full payment is past due or a contractual maturity is over 30 days past due (“DPD”). The following table presents the aging of the amortized cost basis in accruing past due loans by class of loans at December 31, 30-59 60-89 90 + Total Total Nonaccrual Total (Dollars in Thousands) DPD DPD DPD Past Due Current Loans Loans 2020 Commercial, Financial and Agricultural $ 194 $ 124 $ - $ 318 $ 393,451 $ 161 $ 393,930 Real Estate – Construction - 717 - 717 134,935 179 135,831 Real Estate – Commercial Mortgage 293 - - 293 646,688 1,412 648,393 Real Estate – Residential 375 530 - 905 348,508 3,130 352,543 Real Estate – Home Equity 325 138 - 463 204,321 695 205,479 Consumer 1,556 342 - 1,898 268,058 294 270,250 Total Past Due Loans $ 2,743 $ 1,851 $ - $ 4,594 $ 1,995,961 $ 5,871 $ 2,006,426 2019 Commercial, Financial and Agricultural $ 489 $ 191 $ - $ 680 $ 254,239 $ 446 $ 255,365 Real Estate – Construction 300 10 - 310 114,708 - 115,018 Real Estate – Commercial Mortgage 148 84 - 232 623,890 1,434 625,556 Real Estate – Residential 629 196 - 825 359,233 1,392 361,450 Real Estate – Home Equity 155 20 - 175 196,388 797 197,360 Consumer 2,000 649 - 2,649 278,128 403 281,180 Total Past Due Loans $ 3,721 $ 1,150 $ - $ 4,871 $ 1,826,586 $ 4,472 $ 1,835,929 Nonaccrual Loans . Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status if principal or interest payments become 90 days past due and/or management deems the collectability of the principal and/or interest to be doubtful. Loans are returned to accrual status when the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current or when future payments are reasonably assured. The following table presents the amortized cost basis of loans in nonaccrual status and loans past due over 90 days and still on accrual by class of loans. 2020 2019 Nonaccrual Nonaccrual 90 + Days Nonaccrual Nonaccrual 90 + Days With No With Still With No With Still (Dollars in Thousands) ACL ACL Accruing ACL ACL Accruing Commercial, Financial and Agricultural $ - $ 161 $ - $ - $ 446 $ - Real Estate – Construction - 179 - - - - Real Estate – Commercial Mortgage 1,075 337 - 958 476 - Real Estate – Residential 1,513 1,617 - 227 1,165 - Real Estate – Home Equity - 695 - - 797 - Consumer - 294 - - 403 - Total Nonaccrual Loans $ 2,588 $ 3,283 $ - $ 1,185 $ 3,287 $ - The Company recognized $ 52,000 and $ 35,000 of interest income on nonaccrual loans for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Collateral Dependent Loans . The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral dependent loans at December 31: 2020 Real Estate Non Real Estate (Dollars in Thousands) Secured Secured Real Estate – Commercial Mortgage 3,900 - Real Estate – Residential 3,022 - Real Estate – Home Equity 219 - Consumer - 29 Total $ 7,141 $ 29 A loan is collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is dependent on the sale or operation of the underlying collateral. The Bank’s collateral dependent loan portfolio is comprised primarily of real estate secured loans, collateralized by either residential or commercial collateral types. The loans are carried at fair value based on current values determined by either independent appraisals or internal evaluations, adjusted for selling costs or other amounts to be deducted when estimating expected net sales proceeds. Residential Real Estate Loans In Process of Foreclosure . At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $ 1.6 million and $ 1.2 million, respectively, in 1-4 family residential real estate loans for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process. Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) . TDRs are loans in which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company has granted an economic concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. In these instances, as part of a work-out alternative, the Company will make concessions including the extension of the loan term, a principal moratorium, a reduction in the interest rate, or a combination thereof. The impact of the TDR modifications and defaults are factored into the allowance for credit losses on a loan-by-loan basis. Thus, specific reserves are established based upon the results of either a discounted cash flow analysis or the underlying collateral value, if the loan is deemed to be collateral dependent. A TDR classification can be removed if the borrower’s financial condition improves such that the borrower is no longer in financial difficulty, the loan has not had any forgiveness of principal or interest, and the loan is subsequently refinanced or restructured at market terms and qualifies as a new loan. At December 31, 2020, the Company had $ 14.3 million in TDRs, of which $ 13.9 million were performing in accordance with the modified terms. At December 31, 2019 the Company had $ 17.6 million in TDRs, of which $ 16.9 million were performing in accordance with modified terms. For TDRs, the Company estimated $ 0.6 million and $ 1.5 million of credit loss reserves at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The modifications made to TDRs involved either an extension of the loan term, a principal moratorium, a reduction in the interest rate, or a combination thereof. For the year ended December 31, 2020, there were three loans modified with a recorded investment of $ 0.2 million. For the year ended December 31, 2019, there were seven loans modified with a recorded investment of $ 0.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2018, there were six loans modified with a recorded investment of $ 0.7 million. The financial impact of these modifications was not material. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no loans classified as TDRs, for which there was a payment default and the loans were modified within the 12 months prior to default. Credit Risk Management . The Company has adopted comprehensive lending policies, underwriting standards and loan review procedures designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management and the Board of Directors review and approve these policies and procedures on a regular basis (at least annually). Reporting systems are used to monitor loan originations, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming loans and potential problem loans. Management and the Credit Risk Oversight Committee periodically review our lines of business to monitor asset quality trends and the appropriateness of credit policies. In addition, total borrower exposure limits are established and concentration risk is monitored. As part of this process, the overall composition of the portfolio is reviewed to gauge diversification of risk, client concentrations, industry group, loan type, geographic area, or other relevant classifications of loans. Specific segments of the loan portfolio are monitored and reported to the Board on a quarterly basis and have strategic plans in place to supplement Board approved credit policies governing exposure limits and underwriting standards. Detailed below are the types of loans within the Company’s loan portfolio and risk characteristics unique to each. Commercial, Financial, and Agricultural – Loans in this category are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower with consideration given to underlying collateral and personal or other guarantees. Lending policy establishes debt service coverage ratio limits that require a borrower’s cash flow to be sufficient to cover principal and interest payments on all new and existing debt. The majority of these loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable, inventory, or equipment. Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations. Loan to value ratios at origination are governed by established policy guidelines. Real Estate Construction – Loans in this category consist of short-term construction loans, revolving and non-revolving credit lines and construction/permanent loans made to individuals and investors to finance the acquisition, development, construction or rehabilitation of real property. These loans are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower or project and generally secured by the property being financed, including 1-4 family residential properties and commercial properties that are either owner-occupied or investment in nature. These properties may include either vacant or improved property. Construction loans are generally based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the completed project. Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations. Loan to value ratios at origination are governed by established policy guidelines. The disbursement of funds for construction loans is made in relation to the progress of the project and as such these loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections. Real Estate Commercial Mortgage – Loans in this category consists of commercial mortgage loans secured by property that is either owner-occupied or investment in nature. These loans are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower or project with consideration given to underlying real estate collateral and personal guarantees. Lending policy establishes debt service coverage ratios and loan to value ratios specific to the property type. Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations. Real Estate Residential – Residential mortgage loans held in the Company’s loan portfolio are made to borrowers that demonstrate the ability to make scheduled payments with full consideration to underwriting factors such as current income, employment status, current assets, and other financial resources, credit history, and the value of the collateral. Collateral consists of mortgage liens on 1-4 family residential properties. Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations. The Company does not originate sub-prime loans. Real Estate Home Equity – Home equity loans and lines are made to qualified individuals for legitimate purposes generally secured by senior or junior mortgage liens on owner-occupied 1-4 family homes or vacation homes. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income and debt ratio requirements and combined loan to value ratios within established policy guidelines. Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations. Consumer Loans – This loan portfolio includes personal installment loans, direct and indirect automobile financing, and overdraft lines of credit. The majority of the consumer loan portfolio consists of indirect and direct automobile loans. Lending policy establishes maximum debt to income ratios, minimum credit scores, and includes guidelines for verification of applicants’ income and receipt of credit reports. Credit Quality Indicators . As part of the ongoing monitoring of the Company’s loan portfolio quality, management categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment performance, credit documentation, and current economic and market trends, among other factors. Risk ratings are assigned to each loan and revised as needed through established monitoring procedures for individual loan relationships over a predetermined amount and review of smaller balance homogenous loan pools. The Company uses the definitions noted below for categorizing and managing its criticized loans. Loans categorized as “Pass” do not meet the criteria set forth below and are not considered criticized. Special Mention – Loans in this category are presently protected from loss, but weaknesses are apparent which, if not corrected, could cause future problems. Loans in this category may not meet required underwriting criteria and have no mitigating factors. More than the ordinary amount of attention is warranted for these loans. Substandard – Loans in this category exhibit well-defined weaknesses that would typically bring normal repayment into jeopardy. These loans are no longer adequately protected due to well-defined weaknesses that affect the repayment capacity of the borrower. The possibility of loss is much more evident and above average supervision is required for these loans. Doubtful – Loans in this category have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan categorized as Substandard, with the characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Performing/Nonperforming – Loans within certain homogenous loan pools (home equity and consumer) are not individually reviewed, but are monitored for credit quality via the aging status of the loan and by payment activity. The performing or nonperforming status is updated on an on-going basis dependent upon improvement and deterioration in credit quality. The following table summarizes gross loans held for investment at December 31, 2020 by years of origination and internally assigned credit risk ratings (refer to Credit Risk Management section for detail on risk rating system).
