Use of Estimates | 2. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near term, including novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) related changes, are used in connection with the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the evaluation of goodwill for impairment, the review of the need for a valuation allowance of the Company’s deferred tax assets and the fair value of financial instruments. In response to COVID-19, the Company is actively assisting customers by providing modifications in the form of deferrals of interest, principal and/or escrow for terms ranging from one to thirty months. At June 30, 2021, we had 69 active forbearances for loans with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of approximately $245.8 million resulting in total deferment of $16.2 million in principal, interest and escrow, down from 134 active forbearances for loans with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of $364.4 million at December 31, 2020. Given the pandemic and current economic environment, we continue to work with our customers to modify loans although the pace of requests slowed down. The Company actively participated in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), closing $138.7 million of these loans during the three months ended June 30, 2021, with $69.2 million in PPP loans forgiven by the SBA during the same time period. We are also a participant in the Main Street Lending Program in order to assist customers. Pursuant to the CARES Act and later modified by Consolidated Appropriations Act, certain loan modifications are not classified as “troubled debt restructuring” (“TDR”), if the related loans were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The Company has elected that loans temporarily modified for borrowers directly impacted by COVID-19 are not considered TDR, assuming the above criteria is met and as such, these loans are considered current and continue to accrue interest at its original contractual terms until the completion of the deferred period. Once the deferred period is over, the borrower will resume making payment and normal delinquency-based non-accrual policies will apply. In addition, the economic pressures and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in changes in consumer spending behaviors in the communities we serve, which may negatively impact the demand for loans and other services we offer. However, the Company’s capital and financial resources have not been materially impacted by the pandemic, as our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which benefited from the actions taken by the Federal Reserve to counteract the negative economic impact of the pandemic. Future operating results and near-and-long-term financial condition are subject to significant uncertainty. Our funding sources have not changed significantly, and we expect to continue to be able to timely service our debts and its obligations.
