Mortgage Purchase Program

CFBank has participated in a Mortgage Purchase Program with Northpointe Bank (Northpointe), a Michigan banking corporation, since December 2012. Pursuant to the terms of a participation agreement, CFBank purchases participation interests in loans made by Northpointe related to fully underwritten and pre-sold mortgage loans originated by various prescreened mortgage brokers located throughout the U.S. The underlying loans are individually (MERS) registered loans which are held until funded by the end investor. The mortgage loan investors include Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and other major financial institutions. This process on average takes approximately 14 days. Given the short-term holding period of the underlying loans, common credit risks (such as past due, impairment and TDR, nonperforming, and nonaccrual classification) are substantially reduced. Therefore, no allowance is allocated by CFBank to these loans. These loans are 100% risk rated for CFBank capital adequacy purposes. Under the participation agreement, CFBank agrees to purchase a 95% ownership/participation interest in each of the aforementioned loans, and Northpointe maintains a 5% ownership interest in each loan it participates. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, CFBank held $37,618 and $46,919, respectively, of such loans which have been included in single-family residential loan totals above.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The ALLL is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio based on management’s evaluation of various factors including past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions and other factors. A provision for loan and lease losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of these and other pertinent factors described in Note 1 to the 2016 Audited Financial Statements.

The following table presents the activity in the ALLL by portfolio segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017:

Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs):

From time to time, the terms of certain loans are modified as TDRs, where concessions are granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. The modification of the terms of such loans may have included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an increase in the stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; an extension of the maturity date; or a change in the payment terms.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, TDRs totaled $3,746 and $3,130, respectively. The Company allocated $25 and $22 of specific reserves to loans whose terms had been modified in TDRs as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company had not committed to lend any additional amounts as of September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016 to customers with outstanding loans classified as nonaccrual TDRs.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, there were no loans modified as a TDR. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, one commercial real estate loan in the amount of $841 was modified as a TDR during the second quarter, where concessions were granted to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. The loan was re-written at a lower interest rate than otherwise would have been offered on this credit grade in the current market. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, there was one commercial loan in the amount of $339 that was modified as a TDR, where concessions were granted to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties.

There were no TDRs in payment default or that became nonperforming during the period ended September 30, 2017. There was one nonperforming TDR that went into payment default during the period ended September 30, 2016. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms, at which time the loan is re-evaluated to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized, either through a write-off or specific valuation allowance, so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows, or at the fair value of collateral, less cost to sell, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. These loans had a total recorded investment of $10,843 and $18,255 as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The modification of these loans involved either a modification of the terms of a loan to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties, a delay in payments that was considered to be insignificant or a modification where no concessions were granted.

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.

Nonaccrual loans include loans that were modified and identified as TDRs and the loans are not performing. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, nonaccrual TDRs were as follows:




	September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
	(unaudited)
Commercial	$	119	$	144
Total	$	119	$	144

Nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 do not include $3,627 and $2,986, respectively, of TDRs where customers have established a sustained period of repayment performance, generally nine months, the loans are current according to their modified terms and repayment of the remaining contractual payments is expected. These loans are included in total impaired loans.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. Management analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family residential real estate loans. Internal loan reviews for these loan types are performed at least annually, and more often for loans with higher credit risk. Adjustments to loan risk ratings are made based on the reviews and at any time information is received that may affect risk ratings. The following definitions are used for risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of CFBank’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that there will be some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria to be classified into one of the above categories are considered to be not rated or pass-rated loans. Loans listed as not rated are primarily groups of homogeneous loans. Past due information is the primary credit indicator for groups of homogenous loans. Loans listed as pass-rated loans are loans that are subject to internal loan reviews and are determined not to meet the criteria required to be classified as special mention, substandard or doubtful.

The recorded investment in loans and leases by risk category and by class of loans and leases as of September 30, 2017 and based on the most recent analysis performed follows. There were no loans or leases rated doubtful at September 30, 2017.
