Loans Loans and Leases
Peoples' loan portfolio consists of various types of loans and leases originated primarily as a result of lending opportunities within Peoples' primary market areas of northeastern, central, southwestern and southeastern Ohio, central and eastern Kentucky and west central West Virginia. Peoples also originates insurance premium finance loans and leases nationwide through its Peoples Premium Finance and North Star Leasing divisions. Loans and leases throughout this document are referred to as "total loans" and "loans held for investment".
The major classifications of loan balances (in each case, net of deferred fees and costs) excluding loans held for sale, were as follows:

Peoples Bank entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated March 24, 2021 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), with NS Leasing, LLC, which is headquartered in Burlington, Vermont, and does business as North Star Leasing (“NSL”). Effective after the close of business on March 31, 2021, Peoples acquired $83.3 million in leases from NSL, of which $5.2 million were acquired as purchased credit deteriorated assets. Refer to Note 12, Acquisitions for more detail on the acquisition of leases from NSL.
Peoples began participating as a Small Business Administration ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") lender during the second quarter of 2020. Peoples originated PPP loans of $159.2 million during the first six months of 2021 and $488.9 million of PPP loans during the full year of 2020. At June 30, 2021, the PPP loans had an amortized cost of $187.6 million, and were included in commercial and industrial loan balances. As of June 30, 2021, deferred loan origination fees, net of deferred origination costs, totaled $7.1 million. During the second quarter of 2021, Peoples recorded amortization of net deferred loan origination fees of $3.4 million on PPP loans compared to $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2020. Peoples recorded accretion of net deferred loan origination fees of $8.1 million and $1.9 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The remaining net deferred loan origination fees will be amortized over the life of the respective loans, or until forgiven by the SBA, and will be recognized in "Net interest income".
Accrued interest receivable is not included within the loan balances, but is presented in the “Other assets” line of the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, with no recorded allowance for credit losses. Total interest receivable on loans was $8.6 million at June 30, 2021 and $10.9 million at December 31, 2020.
Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans
A loan is considered past due if any required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the loan agreement. A loan may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loan is considered past due.
The amortized cost of loans on nonaccrual status and of loans delinquent for 90 days or more and accruing were as follows:

(a) There were $1.0 million of nonaccrual loans for which there was no allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2021 and $1.3 million at December 31, 2020.

During the first six months of 2021, nonaccrual loans decreased compared to December 31, 2020, mostly due to three commercial loans and two consumer loans being charged-off coupled with three commercial and one consumer loan payoffs. As of June 30, 2021, the short-term modifications, such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment for current borrowers, Peoples had made were insignificant. Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), borrowers that are considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. As such, these modifications made under the CARES Act were not included in Peoples' nonaccrual or accruing loans 90+ days past due at June 30, 2021. During the second quarter of 2021, accruing loans, 90+ days past due increased primarily due to the leases acquired from NSL.
The amount of interest income recognized on loans past due 90 days or more during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $324,000 and $676,000, respectively.

Pledged Loans
Peoples has pledged certain loans secured by one-to-four family and multifamily residential mortgages, home equity lines of credit and commercial real estate loans under a blanket collateral agreement to secure borrowings from the FHLB. Peoples also has pledged eligible commercial and industrial loans to secure borrowings with the FRB. Loans pledged are summarized as follows:

Credit Quality Indicators
As discussed in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2020 Form 10-K, Peoples categorizes the majority of its loans into risk categories based upon an established risk grading matrix using a scale of 1 to 8. Loan grades are assigned at the time a new loan or lending commitment is extended by Peoples and may be changed at any time when circumstances warrant. Loans to borrowers with an aggregate unpaid principal balance in excess of $1.0 million are reviewed at least on an annual basis for possible credit deterioration. Loan relationships whose aggregate credit exposure to Peoples is equal to or less than $1.0 million are reviewed on an event driven basis. Triggers for review include knowledge of adverse events affecting the borrower's business, receipt of financial statements indicating deteriorating credit quality or other similar events. Adversely classified loans are reviewed on a quarterly basis. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades used by Peoples is as follows:
“Pass” (grades 1 through 4): Loans in this risk category involve borrowers of acceptable-to-strong credit quality and risk who have the apparent ability to satisfy their loan obligations. Loans in this risk grade would possess sufficient mitigating
factors, such as adequate collateral or strong guarantors possessing the capacity to repay the loan if required, for any weakness that may exist.
“Special Mention” (grade 5): Loans in this risk grade are the equivalent of the regulatory definition of “Other Assets Especially Mentioned.” Loans in this risk category possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness, which requires a high level of management attention. Potential weaknesses include declining trends in operating earnings and cash flows and/or reliance on a secondary source of repayment. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in noticeable deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in Peoples' credit position.
“Substandard” (grade 6): Loans in this risk grade are inadequately protected by the borrower's current financial condition and payment capability or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of the loans. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Peoples will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
“Doubtful” (grade 7): Loans in this risk grade have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, classification of each of these loans as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.
“Loss” (grade 8): Loans in this risk grade are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean a loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Charge-offs against the allowance for credit losses are taken during the period in which the loan becomes uncollectible. Consequently, Peoples typically does not maintain a recorded investment in loans within this category.
Consumer loans and other smaller-balance loans are evaluated and categorized as “substandard,” or “loss” based upon the regulatory definition of these classes and consistent with regulatory requirements when they meet those criteria. Leases are categorized as special mention, substandard, or loss based upon delinquency status and the prospect of collecting the remaining net investment balance owed under the lease. All other loans not evaluated individually, nor meeting the regulatory conditions to be categorized as described above, would be considered as being “pass" for disclosure purposes.
The following table summarizes the risk category of loans within Peoples' loan portfolio based upon the most recent analysis performed at June 30, 2021:

At June 30, 2021, Peoples had a total of $1.3 million of loans secured by residential real estate mortgages that were in the process of foreclosure.
Collateral Dependent Loans
Peoples has certain loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral, as the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The underlying collateral can vary based upon the type of loan. The following provides more detail about the types of collateral that secure collateral dependent loans:
Construction loans are typically secured by owner occupied commercial real estate or non-owner occupied investment real estate. Typically, owner occupied construction loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and other commercial and industrial properties that are in process of construction. Non-owner occupied commercial construction loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, multi-family complexes, land under development, and other commercial and industrial real estate in process of construction.
Commercial real estate loans can be secured by either owner occupied commercial real estate or non-owner occupied investment commercial real estate. Typically, owner occupied commercial real estate loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and other commercial and industrial properties occupied by operating companies. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, retail facilities, multifamily complexes, land under development, industrial properties, as well as other commercial or industrial real estate.
Commercial and industrial loans are general secured by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, and other commercial property.
Residential real estate loans are typically secured by first mortgages, and in some cases could be secured by a second mortgage.
Home equity lines of credit are generally secured by second mortgages on residential real estate property.
Consumer loans are generally secured by automobiles, motorcycles, recreational vehicles and other personal property. Some consumer loans are unsecured and have no underlying collateral.
Leases are secured by commercial equipment and other essential business assets.
Premium Finance loans are secured by the unearned portion of the insurance premium being financed.

On March 22, 2020, federal and state government banking regulators issued a joint statement, with which the FASB concurred as to the approach, regarding accounting for loan modifications for borrowers affected by COVID-19. In this guidance, short-term modifications, made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19, to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not considered TDRs. This includes short-term modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment which are insignificant. Under the guidance, borrowers that are considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. In addition, modification or deferral programs mandated by the U.S. federal government or any state government related to COVID-19 are not in the scope of accounting for TDRs, as defined in ASC 310-40.
Peoples did not have any loans that were modified as a TDR during the last twelve months that subsequently defaulted. Peoples had no commitments to lend additional funds to the related borrowers whose loan terms have been modified in a TDR.

(b)Peoples adopted ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) on January 1, 2020.

During the second quarter of 2021, Peoples recorded provision for credit losses to establish the allowance for credit losses of $3.3 million on the leases acquired from NSL. Additionally, the decrease in specific reserves on individually evaluated loans resulted in a reduction of provision for credit losses of $916,000 during the second quarter of 2021. Lastly, economic assumptions used in the CECL model and Peoples' own credit portfolio developments related to COVID-19 continued to improve. The PPP loans originated during 2021 and 2020 are guaranteed by the SBA, and therefore, had no impact on the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2021 and at December 31, 2020.
At June 30, 2021, Peoples had recorded an allowance for unfunded commitments of $2.2 million, a decrease compared to $2.4 million at March 31, 2021, and $2.9 million at December 31, 2020. The total amount of unfunded commitments had increased
compared to March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, but the improved economic forecast resulted in a lower allowance for unfunded commitments at June 30, 2021. The allowance for unfunded commitments (also referred to as "unfunded commitment liability") is presented in the “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” line of the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in the allowance for unfunded commitments is also reflected in the "Provision for (recovery of) credit losses" line of the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
