 all expected credit losses over the expected contractual life of our loan portfolio. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Subsequent evaluations of the then-existing loan portfolio and other financial assets to which CECL applies, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance for credit losses in those future periods. While management’s current evaluation of the allowance for credit losses indicates that the allowance is appropriate, the allowance may need to be increased under adversely different conditions or assumptions. Going forward, the impact of utilizing the CECL approach to calculate the reserve for credit losses will be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics, and quality of our loan portfolio, as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts utilized. Material changes to these and other relevant factors may result in greater volatility in the reserve for credit losses, and therefore, greater volatility to our reported earnings.

Consideration of losses occurs when serious doubt regarding the repayment of the loan is present. For real estate loans, current appraisals will aid in determining the amount to be charged off. For commercial loans, collateral valuations and borrower guarantees should be considered; however, weight to these two sources should be limited. Once a deficiency in collateral is determined, a reserve equal to the deficiency should be made immediately to the Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL). A charge off should be made within 90 days if a full analysis confirms the deficiency cannot be covered via additional collateral or resources of the borrower or guarantors.

Nonaccrual Loans

As a general rule, the Company does not accrue interest, amortize deferred net loan fees or costs, or accrete discount on any loan (1) which is maintained on a cash basis because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower, (2) for which payment in full of principal or interest is not expected, or (3) upon which principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the asset is both well secured and in the process of collection.

A loan is “well secured” if it is secured (1) by collateral in the form of liens on or pledges of real or personal property, including securities, that have a realizable value sufficient to discharge the debt (including accrued interest) in full, or (2) by the guarantee of a financially responsible party. A loan is “in the process of collection” if collection of the asset is proceeding in due course either
