NOTE 5 — LOANS The Board of Directors and management review and approve the Bank’s loan policy and procedures on a regular basis to reflect issues such as regulatory and organizational structure changes, strategic planning revisions, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and non-performing loans, problem loans, and policy adjustments. Real estate loans are subject to loans secured by liens or interest in real estate, to provide purchase, construction, and refinance on real estate properties. Commercial and industrial loans consist of commercial term loans, commercial lines of credit, and SBA loans. Consumer loans consist of auto loans, credit cards, personal loans, and home equity lines of credit. We maintain management loan review and monitoring departments that review and monitor pass graded loans as well as problem loans to prevent further deterioration. Concentrations of Credit: The majority of the Bank’s loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans. The Bank has been diversifying and monitoring commercial real estate loans based on property types, tightening underwriting standards, and portfolio liquidity and management, and has not exceeded certain specified limits set forth in the Bank’s loan policy. Most of the Bank’s lending activity occurs within Southern California.
Loans Receivable Loans receivable consisted of the following as of the dates indicated:
Accrued interest on loans receivable was $5.4 million and $5.7 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, loans receivable totaling $524.0 million and $797.1 million, respectively, were pledged to secure FHLB advances and the FRB’s federal discount window.
The following table details the information on the purchases, sales and reclassifications of loans receivable to loans held for sale by portfolio segment for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:
For the year ended December 31, 2012, loans receivable of $95.6 million were reclassified as loans held for sale, and loans held for sale of $220.0 million were sold. For the year ended December 31, 2011, loans receivable of $110.3 million were reclassified as loans held for sale, and loans held for sale of $180.5 million were sold. For the year ended December 31, 2012, $15.2 million of commercial real estate loans and $67.4 million of residential mortgage loans were purchased. There was no purchase of loans receivable for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Allowance for Loan Losses and Allowance for Off-Balance Sheet Items Activity in the allowance for loan losses and allowance for off-balance sheet items was as follows for the periods indicated:
The allowance for off-balance sheet items and provisions is maintained at a level believed to be sufficient to absorb estimated probable losses related to these unfunded credit facilities. The determination of the allowance adequacy is based on periodic evaluations of the unfunded credit facilities including an assessment of the probability of commitment usage, credit risk factors for loans outstanding to these same customers, and the terms and expiration dates of the unfunded credit facilities. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the allowance for off-balance sheet items amounted to $1.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Net adjustments to the allowance for off-balance sheet items are included in the provision for credit losses.
The following table details the information on the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:
Credit Quality Indicators As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of our loan portfolio, we utilize an internal loan grading system to identify credit risk and assign an appropriate grade (from (0) to (8)) for each and every loan in our loan portfolio. All loans are reviewed by a third-party loan reviewer on a semi-annual basis. Additional adjustments are made when determined to be necessary. The loan grade definitions are as follows: Pass: Pass loans, grade (0) to (4), are in compliance in all respects with the Bank’s credit policy and regulatory requirements, and do not exhibit any potential or defined weaknesses as defined under “Special Mention (5)”, “Substandard (6)” or “Doubtful (7)”. This grade is the strongest level of the Bank’s loan grading system. It incorporates all performing loans with no credit weaknesses. It includes cash and stock/security secured loans or other investment grade loans. Following are sub categories within the Pass grade, or (0) to (4): Pass (0): Loans secured in full by cash or cash equivalents. Pass (1): Loans or commitments requiring a very strong, well-structured credit relationship with an established borrower. The relationship should be supported by audited financial statements indicating cash flow, well in excess of debt service requirement, excellent liquidity, and very strong capital. Pass (2): Loans or commitments requiring a well-structured credit that may not be as seasoned or as high quality as grade (1). Capital, liquidity, debt service capacity, and collateral coverage must all be well above average. This category includes individuals with substantial net worth supported by liquid assets and strong income. Pass (3): Loans or commitments to borrowers exhibiting a fully acceptable credit risk. These borrowers should have sound balance sheets and significant cash flow coverage, although they may be somewhat more leveraged and exhibit greater fluctuations in earning and financing but generally would be considered very attractive to the Bank as a borrower. The borrower has historically demonstrated the ability to manage economic adversity. Real estate and asset-based loans with this grade must have characteristics that place them well above the minimum underwriting requirements. Asset-based borrowers assigned this grade must exhibit extremely favorable leverage and cash flow characteristics and consistently demonstrate a high level of unused borrowing capacity. Pass (4): Loans or commitments to borrowers exhibiting either somewhat weaker balance sheets or positive, but inconsistent, cash flow coverage. These borrowers may exhibit somewhat greater credit risk, and as a result, the Bank may have secured its exposure to mitigate the risk. If so, the collateral taken should provide an unquestionable ability to repay the indebtedness in full through liquidation, if necessary. Cash flows should be adequate to cover debt service and fixed obligations, although there may be a question about the borrower’s ability to provide alternative sources of funds in emergencies. Better quality real estate and asset-based borrowers who fully comply with all underwriting standards and are performing according to projections would be assigned this grade.
Special Mention: A Special Mention credit, grade (5), has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncollected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment of the debt and result in a Substandard classification. Loans that have significant actual, not potential, weaknesses are considered more severely classified. Substandard: A Substandard credit, grade (6), has a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. A credit graded Substandard is not protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower, or of the value and type of collateral pledged. With a Substandard loan, there is a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the weaknesses or deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful: A Doubtful credit, grade (7), is one that has critical weaknesses that would make the collection or liquidation of the full amount due improbable. However, there may be pending events which may work to strengthen the credit, and therefore the amount or timing of a possible loss cannot be determined at the current time.
Loss: A loan classified as Loss, grade (8), is considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as active bank assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this asset even though partial recovery may be possible in the future. Loans classified Loss will be charged off in a timely manner.
The following is an aging analysis of past due loans, disaggregated by loan class, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:
Impaired Loans Loans are considered impaired when non-accrual and principal or interest payments have been contractually past due for 90 days or more, unless the loan is both well-collateralized and in the process of collection; or they are classified as Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”) loans to offer terms not typically granted by the Bank; or when current information or events make it unlikely to collect in full according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements; or there is a deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition that raises uncertainty as to timely collection of either principal or interest; or full payment of both interest and principal is in doubt according to the original contractual terms. We evaluate loan impairment in accordance with applicable GAAP. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, less costs to sell. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the deficiency will be charged off against the allowance for loan losses or, alternatively, a specific allocation will be established. Additionally, loans that are considered impaired are specifically excluded from the quarterly migration analysis when determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses required for the period. The allowance for collateral-dependent loans is determined by calculating the difference between the outstanding loan balance and the value of the collateral as determined by recent appraisals. The allowance for collateral-dependent loans varies from loan to loan based on the collateral coverage of the loan at the time of designation as non-performing. We continue to monitor the collateral coverage, using recent appraisals, on these loans on a quarterly basis and adjust the allowance accordingly.
The following table provides information on impaired loans, disaggregated by loan class, as of the dates indicated:
The following is a summary of interest foregone on impaired loans for the periods indicated:
There were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans are included above. Non-Accrual loans Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the full timely collection of principal or interest is in doubt. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due, unless management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. However, in certain instances, we may place a particular loan on non-accrual status earlier, depending upon the individual circumstances surrounding the loan’s delinquency. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash are applied as principal reductions when received, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case interest payments are credited to income. Non-accrual loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest payments become current and full repayment is expected. The following table details non-accrual loans, disaggregated by loan class for the periods indicated:
The following table details non-performing assets for the periods indicated:
Loans on non-accrual status, excluding loans held for sale, totaled $37.3 million as of December 31, 2012, compared to $52.4 million as of December 31, 2011, representing a 28.8 percent decrease. Delinquent loans (defined as 30 days or more past due), excluding loans held for sale, were $16.5 million as of December 31, 2012, compared to $35.2 million as of December 31, 2011, representing a 53.1 percent decrease. As of December 31, 2012, other real estate owned consisted of two properties located in Illinois and Virginia with a combined carrying value of $774,000 with no valuation adjustment. For the year ended December 31, 2012, six properties were transferred from loans receivable to other real estate owned at fair value less aggregate selling costs of $3.1 million, and a valuation adjustment of $433,000 was recorded. As of December 31, 2011, there was one real estate owned property, located in Colorado, with a net carrying value of $180,000. Troubled Debt Restructuring In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, which clarifies the guidance for evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a TDR. This guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. For the purposes of measuring impairment of loans that are newly considered impaired, the guidance should be applied prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. As a result of the amendments in ASU 2011-02, we reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after the beginning of the annual period and identified certain receivables as TDRs. Upon identifying those receivables as TDRs, we considered them impaired and applied the impairment measurement guidance prospectively for those receivables newly identified as impaired. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we restructured monthly payments on 59 loans, with a net carrying value of $15.0 million as of December 31, 2012, through temporary payment structure modifications or re-amortization. For the restructured loans on accrual status, we determined that, based on the financial capabilities of the borrowers at the time of the loan restructuring and the borrowers’ past performance in the payment of debt service under the previous loan terms, performance and collection under the revised terms are probable.
The following table details troubled debt restructurings, disaggregated by type of concession and by loan type as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:
The following table details troubled debt restructuring, disaggregated by loan class, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, total TDRs, excluding loans held for sale, was $35.7 million and $51.6 million, respectively. A debt restructuring is considered a TDR if we grant a concession that we would not have otherwise considered to the borrower, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties. Loans are considered to be TDRs if they were restructured through payment structure modifications such as reducing the amount of principal and interest due monthly and/or allowing for interest only monthly payments for six months or less. All TDRs are impaired and are individually evaluated for specific impairment using one of these three criteria: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (2) the loan’s observable market price; or (3) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, TDRs, excluding loans held for sale, were subjected to specific impairment analysis, and $3.6 million and $14.2 million, respectively, of reserves relating to these loans were included in the allowance for loan losses. The following table details troubled debt restructurings that defaulted subsequent to the modifications occurring within the previous twelve months, disaggregated by loan class, during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:
Servicing Assets The changes in servicing assets were as follows for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we serviced loans sold to unaffiliated parties in the amounts of $297.2 million and $218.5 million, respectively. These represented loans that have been sold for which the Bank continues to provide servicing. These loans are maintained off balance sheet and are not included in the loans receivable balance. All of the loans being serviced were SBA loans. |
