| LOANS |
NOTE E: LOANS
The segments of the Company’s loan portfolio are disaggregated into the following classes that allow management to monitor risk and performance: · | Consumer mortgages consist primarily of fixed rate residential instruments, typically 15 – 30 years in contractual term, secured by first liens on real property. |
· | Business lending is comprised of general purpose commercial and industrial loans including, but not limited to agricultural-related and dealer floor plans, as well as mortgages on commercial property. |
· | Consumer indirect consists primarily of installment loans originated through selected dealerships and are secured by automobiles, marine and other recreational vehicles. |
· | Consumer direct consists of all other loans to consumers such as personal installment loans and lines of credit. |
· | Home equity products are consumer purpose installment loans or lines of credit most often secured by a first or second lien position on residential real estate with terms up to 30 years. |
The balances of these classes are summarized as follows: | | March 31, | December 31, | (000's omitted) | 2014 | 2013 | Consumer mortgage | $1,579,322 | $1,582,058 | Business lending | 1,246,070 | 1,260,364 | Consumer indirect | 755,849 | 740,002 | Consumer direct | 174,357 | 180,139 | Home equity | 340,760 | 346,520 | Gross loans, including deferred origination costs | 4,096,358 | 4,109,083 | Allowance for loan losses | (44,197) | (44,319) | Loans, net of allowance for loan losses | $4,052,161 | $4,064,764 |
The outstanding balance related to credit impaired acquired loans was $14.2 million and $15.5 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The changes in the accretable discount related to the credit impaired acquired loans are as follows:

Credit Quality Management monitors the credit quality of its loan portfolio on an ongoing basis. Measurement of delinquency and past due status are based on the contractual terms of each loan. Past due loans are reviewed on a monthly basis to identify loans for non-accrual status. The following is an aged analysis of the Company’s past due loans, by class as of March 31, 2014:

(1) | Acquired impaired loans were not classified as nonperforming assets as the loans are considered to be performing under ASC 310-30. As a result interest income, through the accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the loans and the expected cashflows, is being recognized on all acquired impaired loans. |

The Company uses several credit quality indicators to assess credit risk in an ongoing manner. The Company’s primary credit quality indicator for its business lending portfolio is an internal credit risk rating system that categorizes loans as “pass”, “special mention”, or “classified”. Credit risk ratings are applied individually to those classes of loans that have significant or unique credit characteristics that benefit from a case-by-case evaluation. In general, the following are the definitions of the Company’s credit quality indicators: | Pass | The condition of the borrower and the performance of the loans are satisfactory or better. | | | | | Special Mention | The condition of the borrower has deteriorated although the loan performs as agreed. | | | | Classified | The condition of the borrower has significantly deteriorated and the performance of the loan could further deteriorate, if deficiencies are not corrected. | | | | | Doubtful | The condition of the borrower has deteriorated to the point that collection of the balance is improbable based on current facts and conditions. |
The following table shows the amount of business lending loans by credit quality category:
| | March 31, 2014 | | December 31, 2013 | (000’s omitted) | Legacy | Acquired | Total | | Legacy | Acquired | Total | Pass | $900,083 | $109,175 | $1,009,258 | | $908,885 | $116,271 | $1,025,156 | Special mention | 98,874 | 24,672 | 123,546 | | 93,600 | 24,264 | 117,864 | Classified | 80,362 | 26,635 | 106,997 | | 83,379 | 26,714 | 110,093 | Doubtful | 126 | 0 | 126 | | 161 | 0 | 161 | Acquired impaired | 0 | 6,143 | 6,143 | | 0 | 7,090 | 7,090 | Total | $1,079,445 | $166,625 | $1,246,070 | | $1,086,025 | $174,339 | $1,260,364 |
All other loans are underwritten and structured using standardized criteria and characteristics, primarily payment performance, and are normally risk rated and monitored collectively on a monthly basis. These are typically loans to individuals in the consumer categories and are delineated as either performing or nonperforming. Performing loans include current, 30 - 89 days past due and acquired impaired loans. Nonperforming loans include 90+ days past due and still accruing and nonaccrual loans. The following table details the balances in all other loan categories at March 31, 2014:

All loan classes are collectively evaluated for impairment except business lending, as described in Note C. A summary of individually evaluated impaired loans as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 follows:
| | March 31, | December 31, | (000’s omitted) | 2014 | 2013 | Loans with allowance allocation | $1,543 | $945 | Loans without allowance allocation | 0 | 600 | Carrying balance | 1,543 | 1,545 | Contractual balance | 1,851 | 1,852 | Specifically allocated allowance | 176 | 50 |
In the course of working with borrowers, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. In this scenario, the Company attempts to work-out an alternative payment schedule with the borrower in order to optimize collectability of the loan. Any loans that are modified are reviewed by the Company to identify if a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) has occurred, which is when, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with its current financial standing and the restructuring of the loan may include the transfer of assets from the borrower to satisfy the debt, a modification of loan terms, or a combination of the two. With regard to determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses, troubled debt restructured loans are considered to be impaired. As a result, the determination of the amount of allowance for loan losses related to impaired loans for each portfolio segment within troubled debt restructurings is the same as detailed previously.
During 2012, clarified guidance was issued by the OCC addressing the accounting for certain loans that have been discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In accordance with this clarified guidance, loans that have been discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but not reaffirmed by the borrower, are classified as TDRs, irrespective of payment history or delinquency status, even if the repayment terms for the loan have not been otherwise modified. The Company’s lien position against the underlying collateral remains unchanged. Pursuant to that guidance, the Company records a charge-off equal to any portion of the carrying value that exceeds the net realizable value of the collateral. The amount of loss incurred in 2014 and 2013 was immaterial.
TDRs less than $0.5 million are collectively included in the general loan loss allocation and the qualitative review, if necessary. Commercial loans greater than $0.5 million are individually evaluated for impairment, and if necessary, a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses is provided. At March 31, 2014, there were no impaired loans that were considered a TDR.
Information regarding troubled debt restructurings as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is as follows:

The following table presents information related to loans modified in a TDR during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Of the loans noted in the table below, all but two loans for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and no loans for the three months ended March 31 2013, were modified due to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy as described previously. The two exceptions were a business loan restructured via an extension of term and a consumer mortgage restructured via an extension of term and a rate concession. The financial effects of these restructurings were immaterial.
