(2)
Loans for construction of residential and commercial properties and for land development.
(3)
Loans to businesses and individuals, a substantial portion of which are fully or partially collateralized by real estate. As of June 30, 2011, $29 million and $48 million, respectively, of these loans were pledged as collateral for FHLBB borrowings and were collateralized for the discount window at the Federal Reserve Bank.  Comparable amounts for December 31, 2010 were $30 million and $61 million, respectively (see Note 7).

Includes unamortized loan origination costs, net of fees, totaling $218 thousand and $271 thousand at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  Also includes $54 thousand and $39 thousand of net premiums on purchased loans at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
 
Nonaccrual Loans
Loans, with the exception of certain well-secured residential mortgage loans that are in the process of collection, are placed on nonaccrual status and interest recognition is suspended when such loans are 90 days or more overdue with respect to principal and/or interest or sooner if considered appropriate by management.  Well-secured residential mortgage loans are permitted to remain on accrual status provided that full collection of principal and interest is assured and the loan is in the process of collection.  Loans are also placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, full collection of principal and interest is doubtful.  Interest previously accrued but not collected on such loans is reversed against current period income.  Subsequent cash receipts on nonaccrual loans are applied to the outstanding principal balance of the loan or recognized as interest income depending on management’s assessment of the ultimate collectability of the loan.  Loans are removed from nonaccrual status when they have been current as to principal and interest for a period of time, the borrower has demonstrated an ability to comply with repayment terms, and when, in management’s opinion, the loans are considered to be fully collectible.

Impaired Loans
Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable that the Corporation will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements and loans restructured in a troubled debt restructuring.  Impaired loans do not include large groups of smaller-balance homogenous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, which consist of most residential mortgage loans and consumer loans.  The following is a summary of impaired loans, as of the dates indicated:

The recorded investment in impaired loans consists of unpaid principal balance, net of charge-offs, interest payments received applied to principal and unamortized deferred loan origination fees and costs.  For impaired accruing loans (those troubled debt restructurings for which management has concluded that the collectibility of the loan is not in doubt), the recorded investment also includes accrued interest.  As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, recorded investment in impaired loans included accrued interest of $48 thousand and $62 thousand, respectively.

At June 30, 2011, there were no significant commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were on nonaccrual status or had been restructured.

Credit Quality Indicators
Commercial
The Corporation utilizes an internal rating system to assign a risk to each of its commercial loans.  Loans are rated on a scale of 1 to 10.  This scale can be assigned to three broad categories including “pass” for ratings 1 through 6, “special mention” for 7-rated loans, and “classified” for loans rated 8, 9 or 10.  The loan rating system takes into consideration parameters including the borrower’s financial condition, the borrower’s performance with respect to loan terms, and the adequacy of collateral.  As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the weighted average risk rating of the Corporation’s commercial loan portfolio was 4.95 and 5.01, respectively.

For non-impaired loans, the Corporation assigns a loss allocation factor to each loan, based on its risk rating for purposes of establishing an appropriate allowance for loan losses.  See Note 6 for additional information.

A description of the commercial loan categories are as follows:

Pass – Loans with acceptable credit quality, defined as ranging from superior or very strong to a status of lesser stature.  Superior or very strong credit quality is characterized by a high degree of cash collateralization or strong balance sheet liquidity.  Lesser stature loans have an acceptable level of credit quality but exhibit some weakness in various credit metrics such as collateral adequacy, cash flow, or performance inconsistency or may be in an industry or of a loan type known to have a higher degree of risk.

Special Mention – Loans with potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s position as creditor at some future date.  Special Mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.  Examples of these conditions, include but are not limited to outdated or poor quality financial data, strains on liquidity and leverage, losses or negative trends in operating results, marginal cash flow, weaknesses in occupancy rates or trends in the case of commercial real estate and frequent delinquencies.

Classified – Loans identified as “substandard”, “doubtful” or “loss” based on criteria consistent with guidelines provided by banking regulators. A "substandard" loan has defined weaknesses which make payment default or principal exposure likely, but not yet certain. Such loans are apt to be dependent upon collateral liquidation, a secondary source of repayment or an event outside of the normal course of business.  The loans are closely watched and are either already on nonaccrual status or may be placed in nonaccrual status when management determines there is uncertainty of collectibility.  A “doubtful” loan is placed on non-accrual status and may be dependent upon collateral having a value that is difficult to determine or upon some near-term event which lacks certainty.  A loan in the “loss” category is considered generally uncollectible or the timing or amount of payments cannot be determined.  "Loss" is not intended to imply that the loan has no recovery value but rather it is not practical or desirable to continue to carry the asset.

The Corporation’s procedures call for loan ratings and classifications to be revised whenever information becomes available that indicates a change is warranted.  On a quarterly basis, the criticized loan portfolio which consists of commercial and commercial real estate loans that are risk rated special mention or worse, are reviewed by management, focusing on the current status and strategies to improve the credit.  An annual loan review program is conducted by a third party to provide an independent evaluation of the creditworthiness of the commercial loan portfolio, the quality of the underwriting and credit risk management practices and the appropriateness of the risk rating classifications.  This review is supplemented with selected targeted internal reviews of the commercial loan portfolio.

Residential and Consumer
The residential and consumer portfolios are monitored on an ongoing basis by the Corporation using delinquency information and loan type as credit quality indicators.  These credit quality indicators are assessed on an aggregate basis in these relatively homogenous portfolios.  The following table presents the residential and consumer loan portfolios, segregated by category of credit quality indicator:

For non-impaired loans, the Corporation assigns loss allocation factors to each respective loan type and delinquency status.  See Note 6 for additional information.

Various other techniques are utilized to monitor indicators of credit deterioration in the portfolios of residential real estate mortgages and home equity lines and loans.  Among these techniques is the periodic tracking of loans with an updated FICO score and an estimated loan to value (“LTV”) ratio.  LTV is determined via statistical modeling analyses.  The indicated LTV levels are estimated based on such factors as the location, the original LTV, and the date of origination of the loan and do not reflect actual appraisal amounts.  The results of these analyses are taken into consideration in the determination of loss allocation factors for residential mortgage and home equity consumer credits.  See Note 6 for additional information.
