Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses | NOTE 6 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The composition of the loan portfolio as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, is summarized below. December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 (in thousands) Loans held for sale Loans held for sale — 370 Total loans held for sale $ — $ 370 Loans held for investment Commercial loans: Commercial and industrial $ 952,805 $ 705,115 Commercial real estate 909,101 916,328 Construction and land 145,595 127,540 Mortgage warehouse participations — 13,941 Total commercial loans 2,007,501 1,762,924 Residential: Residential mortgages 33,783 31,315 Home equity 25,443 25,002 Total residential loans 59,226 56,317 Consumer 176,066 37,765 Other 13,897 19,552 Total loans 2,256,690 1,876,558 Less net deferred fees and other unearned income (7,654) (3,034) Less allowance for credit losses on loans (31,818) (18,535) Loans held for investment, net $ 2,217,218 $ 1,854,989 At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, loans with a carrying value of $474.5 million and $729.6 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral to secure FHLB advances and the Federal Reserve discount window. The fair value adjustments on purchased loans outside the scope of ASC 310-30 are also accreted to interest income over the life of the loans. At December 31, 2020, the unamortized balance of fair value discount on loans acquired through a business combination and not accounted for under ASC 310-30 was $262,000 compared to $279,000 at December 31, 2019. The allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. It is comprised of specific allowance for individually assessed loans and a general allowance for loans that are collectively assessed in pools with similar risk characteristics. The allowance is regularly evaluated to maintain a level adequate to absorb expected losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Refer to Note 1, “Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Accrued interest receivable totaled $10.8 million at December 31, 2020 and was reported in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Included in the estimate of credit losses for loans was $49,000 related to accrued interest receivable totaling $4.4 million on loans with payment deferrals. The remaining balance of accrued interest receivable was excluded from the estimate of credit losses for loans. The following table presents the balance and activity in the allowance for credit losses on loans by portfolio segment for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. 2020 2019 Year Ended December 31, Commercial Residential Consumer Total Commercial Residential Consumer Total (in thousands) Allowance for credit losses on loans: Beginning balance, prior to adoption of ASC 326 $ 18,203 $ 145 $ 187 $ 18,535 $ 17,322 $ 292 $ 237 $ 17,851 Impact of adopting ASC 326 (947) 8 85 (854) — — — — Provision for loan losses 15,171 706 615 16,492 2,910 (153) (45) 2,712 Loans charged-off (2,380) (161) — (2,541) (2,069) (9) (39) (2,117) Recoveries 174 1 11 186 40 15 34 89 Total ending allowance balance $ 30,221 $ 699 $ 898 $ 31,818 $ 18,203 $ 145 $ 187 $ 18,535 A charge-off is recognized when the amount of the loss is quantifiable and timing is known. A collateral based loan charge-off is measured based on the difference between the loan’s carrying value, including deferred fees, and the estimated net realizable value of the loan collateral. When assessing property value for the purpose of determining a charge-off, a third-party appraisal or an independently derived internal evaluation is generally employed. Nonaccrual loans include both homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually evaluated impaired loans. Atlantic Capital’s policy is to place loans on nonaccrual status, when, in the opinion of management, the principal and interest on a loan is not likely to be repaid in accordance with the loan terms or when the loan becomes 90 days past due and is not well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is classified on nonaccrual status, interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current interest revenue. Principal and interest payments received on a nonaccrual loan are applied to reduce outstanding principal. Troubled Debt Restructurings Atlantic Capital evaluates loans in accordance with ASC 310-40, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had a recorded investment in TDRs of $14.2 million and $13.2 million, respectively. The Company allocated $656,000 in allowance for those loans with no commitments to lend additional funds at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2019, the Company had commitments to lend additional funds of $4,000 on loans modified as TDRs. Loans, by portfolio class, modified as TDRs during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, are as follows.

The following table presents by class, all loans modified as TDRs that defaulted during the year ended December 31, 2020 and within twelve months of their modification date. There were no subsequent defaults for TDRs for the year ended December 31, 2019. A TDR is considered to be in default once it becomes 90 days or more contractually past due under the modified terms. e bye Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2020 Troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted during the period within twelve months of their modification date: Number of Loans Outstanding Balance (in thousands) Commercial 2 $ 197 Total 2 $ 197 Section 4013 “Temporary Relief From Troubled Debt Restructurings,” of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020, allows financial institutions the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under GAAP related to TDRs for a limited period of time during the COVID-19 pandemic. This relief was extended by the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act. On April 7, 2020, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council provided additional guidance in its Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised). This guidance received concurrence from the FASB and clarified that loan modifications made under the following criteria are generally not considered TDRs if: ● the modification is in response to the national emergency; ● the borrower was current on payments at the time the modification program is implemented; and ● the modification is short-term (e.g., six months). The Bank conducts transactions with its directors and executive officers, including companies in which such officers or directors have beneficial interests. The following is a summary of activity with respect to related-party loans in 2020 and 2019. 2020 2019 (in thousands) Balance at January 1, $ — $ — Additions 4 6 Repayments (4) (6) Balance at December 31, $ — $ — Atlantic Capital individually rates loans based on internal credit risk ratings using numerous factors, including thorough analysis of historical and expected cash flows, consumer credit risk scores (FICO), rating agency information, LTV ratios, collateral, collection experience, and other internal metrics. The likelihood of default of a credit transaction is graded in the Obligor Rating and is determined through credit analysis. Ratings are generally reviewed at least annually or more frequently if there is a material change in creditworthiness. Exceptions to this policy may include loans with commitments less than $1 million, well collateralized term loans and loans to individuals with limited exposure or complexity. Atlantic Capital uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Pass: Special Mention: Substandard: Doubtful: As of December 31, 2020, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows.
