Beginning with March 31, 2020, gross loans are presented net of deferred loan fees by respective class of financing receivables.
As of September 30, 2020, 69.04% of the Company’s total gross loan portfolio consisted of real estate loans, with commercial real estate loans representing 64.56% of total loans. Substantially all of the Company’s real estate loans and construction loans are secured by real properties located in California. As of September 30, 2020, $271.2 million, or 5.00% of the total commercial real estate loans included loans secured by farmland, compared to $241.8 million, or 4.50%, at December 31, 2019. The loans secured by farmland included $121.1 million for loans secured by dairy & livestock land and $150.2 million for loans secured by agricultural land at September 30, 2020, compared to $125.9 million for loans secured by dairy & livestock land and $115.9 million for loans secured by agricultural land at December 31, 2019. As of September 30, 2020, dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans of $252.8 million were comprised of $210.4 million for dairy & livestock loans and $42.4 million for agribusiness loans, compared to $323.5 million for dairy & livestock loans and $60.2 million for agribusiness loans at December 31, 2019.
At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, loans totaling $6.00 billion and $6.03 billion, respectively, were pledged to secure the borrowings and available lines of credit from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank.
There were no outstanding loans
held-for-sale
as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Credit Quality Indicators
An important element of our approach to credit risk management is our loan risk rating system. The originating officer assigns each loan an initial risk rating, which is reviewed and confirmed or changed, as appropriate, by credit management. Approvals are made based upon the amount of inherent credit risk specific to the transaction and are reviewed for appropriateness by senior line and credit management personnel. Loans are monitored by line and credit management personnel on an ongoing basis for deterioration or improvement in a borrower’s financial condition, which would impact the ability of the borrower to perform under the contract. Risk ratings are adjusted as necessary.
Loans are risk rated into the following categories (Credit Quality Indicators): Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. Each of these groups is assessed for the proper amount to be used in determining the adequacy of our allowance for losses. These categories can be described as follows:
Pass — These loans, including loans on the Bank’s internal watch list, range from minimal credit risk to lower than average, but still acceptable, credit risk. Watch list loans usually require more than normal management attention. Loans on the watch list may involve borrowers with adverse financial trends, higher debt/equity ratios, or weaker liquidity positions, but not to the degree of being considered a defined weakness or problem loan where risk of loss may be apparent.
Special Mention — Loans assigned to this category have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard — Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful — Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or the liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss — Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this asset with insignificant value even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.
The following table summarizes loans by type and origination year, according to our internal risk ratings as of the date presented.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses for 2020 is based upon historical lifetime loss rate models segregated by three loan segments: Commercial and Industrial, Commercial Real Estate, and Consumer Retail. Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance is reviewed on a regular basis and considers overall risks in the Bank’s loan portfolio. Refer to Note 3 –
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
contained herein for a more detailed discussion concerning the allowance for credit losses.
Our allowance for credit losses decreased in the third quarter by $114,000, as a result of net charge-offs of $114,000. There was no provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2020. Our allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2020 was $93.9 million or 1.12% of total loans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the ACL increased by $25.2 million, including a $1.8 million increase from the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020. The increase in the ACL was primarily due to $23.5 million in provision for credit losses recorded in the first half of 2020 resulting from the forecasted changes in macroeconomic variables related to the
COVID
-19
pandemic. Our economic forecast continues to be a blend of multiple forecasts produced by Moody’s. Moody’s baseline forecast continues to represent more than a 50% weighting in our multi-weighted forecast scenario. This U.S. baseline forecast assumes GDP will increase by 27% in the third quarter, 2.9% in the fourth quarter and then grow by 3.5% in 2021 and 5% in 2022. The unemployment rate
 in this baseline forec
as
t
 is forecasted to be 8.9% in the third quarter of 2021, stay at an elevated level over 8% through 2021, before declining to 6.4% percent in 2022. With California slowly
re-opening
its
 economy and
currently
having an unemployment rate greater than 11% percent, our forecast includes a partial weighting o
f
 downside economic forecast scenarios from Moody’s.    
Management believes that the ACL was appropriate at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. There is a high degree of uncertainty around the epidemiological assumptions and impact of government responses to the pandemic that impact our economic forecast, so no assurance can be given that economic conditions that adversely affect the Company’s service areas or other circumstances will not be reflected in increased provisions for credit losses in the future.
The following tables present the balance and activity related to the allowance for credit losses for
held-for-investment
loans by type for the periods presented.

Past Due and Nonperforming Loans
We seek to manage asset quality and control credit risk through diversification of the loan portfolio and the application of policies designed to promote sound underwriting and loan monitoring practices. The Bank’s Credit Management Division is in charge of monitoring asset quality, establishing credit policies and procedures and enforcing the consistent application of these policies and procedures across the Bank. Reviews of nonperforming, past due loans and larger credits, designed to identify potential charges to the allowance for loan losses, and to determine the adequacy of the ACL, are conducted on an ongoing basis. These reviews consider such factors as the financial strength of borrowers and any guarantors, the value of the applicable collateral, loan loss experience, estimated loan losses, growth in the loan portfolio, prevailing economic conditions and other factors. Refer to Note 3 –

Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments
The allowance for
off-balance
sheet credit exposure relates to commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and undisbursed funds on lines of credit. The Company evaluates credit risk associated with the
off-balance
sheet loan commitments at the same time as it evaluates credit risk associated with the loan and lease portfolio. As a result of the adoption of ASU
2016-13,
the reserve for unfunded loan commitments included a transition adjustment of $41,000 as of January 1, 2020. There was no provision or recapture of provision for unfunded commitments for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the balance in this reserve was $9.0 million and was included in other liabilities.
Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”)
Loans that are reported as TDRs are considered nonperforming and
charge-off
amounts are taken on an individual loan basis, as deemed appropriate. The majority of restructured loans are loans for which the terms of repayment have been renegotiated, resulting in a reduction in interest rate or deferral of principal. Refer to Note 3 –
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,
included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2019 for a more detailed discussion regarding TDRs.
As of September 30, 2020, there were $2.2 million of loans classified as a TDR, all of
which
were performing. TDRs on accrual status are comprised of loans that were accruing interest at the time of restructuring or have demonstrated repayment performance in compliance with the restructured terms for a sustained period and for which the Company anticipates full repayment of both principal and interest. At September 30, 2020, performing TDRs were comprised of seven SFR mortgage loans of $1.8 million, one commercial real estate loan of $354,000, and one commercial and industrial loan of $47,000.
The majority of TDRs have no specific allowance allocated as any impairment amount is normally charged off at the time a probable loss is determined. We have no allocated allowance to TDRs as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
The following table provides a summary of the activity related to TDRs for the periods presented.

As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no loans that were modified as TDRs during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
There were no loans that were previously modified as a TDR within the previous 12 months that subsequently defaulted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
In accordance with regulatory guidance, if borrowers are less than 30 days past due on their loans, upon implementation of the modification program, or as allowed under the CARES Act if borrowers are less than 30 days past due on their loans as of December 31, 2019, and enter into short-term loan modifications offered as a result of
COVID-19,
their loans generally continue to be considered performing loans and continue to accrue interest during the period of the loan modification. For borrowers who are 30 days or more past due when entering into loan modifications offered as a result of
COVID-19,
we evaluate the loan modifications under our existing troubled debt restructuring framework, and where such a loan modification would result in a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the loan will be accounted for as a TDR and will generally not accrue interest. For all borrowers who enroll in these loan modification programs offered as a result of
COVID-19,
the delinquency status of the borrowers is frozen, resulting in a static delinquency metric during the deferral period. Upon exiting the deferral program, the measurement of loan delinquency will resume where it had left off upon entry into the program. As of October 9, 2020, we have loans with temporary payment deferments of interest or of principal and interest for 90 days in the amount of $68.6 million, or less than 1% of our total loan portfolio, at September 30, 2020.
