The Company groups loans held for investment into three segments (commercial loans, consumer real estate loans, and consumer and other loans) with each segment divided into various classes. Covered loans are those loans acquired in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assisted transactions that are covered by loss share agreements. Customer overdrafts reclassified as loans totaled $1.41 million as of June 30, 2020, and $2.20 million as of December 31, 2019. Deferred loan fees, net of loan costs, totaled $6.04 million as of June 30, 2020, and $4.60 million as of December 31, 2019.

Commercial and industrial loan balances grew significantly compared to December 31, 2019. The Company began participating as a Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) lender during the second quarter of 2020. At June 30, 2020, the PPP loans had a current balance of $60.23 million, and were included in commercial and industrial loan balances. Deferred loan origination fees related to the PPP loans, net of deferred loan origination costs, which totaled $2.26 million at June 30, 2020, were also recorded. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded amortization of net deferred loan origination fees of $192 thousand on PPP loans. The remaining net deferred loan origination fees will be amortized over the expected life of the respective loans, or until forgiven by the SBA, and will be recognized in net interest income.

The Company identifies certain purchased loans as impaired when fair values are established at acquisition and groups those purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans into loan pools with common risk characteristics. The Company estimates cash flows to be collected on PCI loans and discounts those cash flows at a market rate of interest. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company consolidated the insignificant PCI loans and discounts for Peoples, Waccamaw, and other acquired loans into the core loan portfolio. The only remaining PCI pools are those loans acquired in the Highlands acquisition on December 31, 2019.
